Bring what you learn from this journey to the world, to others\r\n\r\nThe German astrologer Eva Stangenberg makes the following summary of these various themes of Chiron:\r\n\r\n<em>\"Chiron\'s position in the natal chart shows us where we experience a division between the material and the spiritual world, a wounding. However, it also represents our greatest chance to overcome it and become whole. And with the spiritual insight of Uranus we can recognize the unity of body and soul not only in ourselves but in everything that exists... Chiron is not about achieving mastery through diligence and hard work as is the case with Saturn, or by releasing the energy bound to traumatic experiences as is the case with Pluto, but simply by accepting the deficit of not being \"whole\"... Only through our experiences with this feeling and the acceptance of not being \"whole\" can we begin to understand this problem in others... We share with others our compassion, our understanding, our experiences, and by doing this we can help them. This doesn\'t entail sacrificing something which makes us \"poorer\", on the contrary, we\"achieve\" a connection, create a wholeness where before there was division.\"</em>\r\n\r\nLook at the house placement and at the ruler of Chiron\'s sign placement in your chart (and it\'s aspects).\r\n\r\n<strong>Home assignment: </strong>Investigate Chiron in your own chart using the Keywords from the work sheet.

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 11:36am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 6:44pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan all of Monday afternoon and early evening ahead of time\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 6:44pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Thursday morning</strong><b>.</b> The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius </i>all day </b>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Venus/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 8:39am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. </strong>This aspect<b> </b>asks us to stretch and grow beyond how we\'ve known ourselves in our relationships up to this point -- a process of maturing that requires we adjust and stay flexible.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, we want to make new and passionate connections while enthusiastically engaging with life; on the other hand, we feel a sharp need to focus on what we want to manifest long-term -- what works, what doesn\'t, what are our resources to make it happen, how can we move from A to B without missing anything essential -- in short, to determine what\'s real and can provide us with the best foundation for the next step. Do your best to make space for both of these urges.\r\n\r\nWe tend to be more cautious when it comes to relationships and finances now -- and in fact, this is not the best time to start a brand-new romantic relationship. Financially though, this aspect can be eye-opening; if we can find creative ways to deal with money, we will grow from it.\r\n\r\nThe key is to approach things in both realms with enthusiasm and maturity. Pushing will most likely not get us what we want: better to go one step at a time, slow and steady; that way, we can come back later with a stronger approach and more mature expectations.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><i> 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late afternoon,</strong> <em>a harmonious Sun/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 4:06pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Friday. </strong>It’s an opportunity to see things from a different perspective. What will lead us to this new vantage point?\r\n\r\nOptimism, an open mind, an open heart: Follow your enthusiasm as if it were a wilderness guide — and let yourself be creative and free, especially with or around other people.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday evening: </strong><i>the</i> <i>Balsamic Moon phase begins </i>when the Moon reaches 12º of <b>Aquarius. </b>This lasts <b>until Saturday morning</b>, when the New Moon in <b>Pisces </b>becomes exact (more on that later...however, <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/New+Moon.aspx\">feel free to watch my video on the subject</a> -- will be posted by Monday, March 11th).\r\n\r\nWe are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our inner sensing/intuition. For some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes.\r\n\r\nThis is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?<i> </i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 14th): <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b></strong><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Mars/Chiron aspect </em>becomes exact at 2:10am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Thursday night (March 8th) on; it will remain strong until next week Monday (March 19th). </strong>This aspect challenges us to see our own attachments and aversions as a normal, perhaps even valid, part of being human. That way, should we choose to express desire or anger (or even contempt or disgust), such expressions will feel natural and organic, rather than something that provokes shame.\r\n\r\nWe may experience situations that call forth our initiative and independence -- but may not feel confident that we can rise to the challenge, let alone follow through. As best as you can, when the challenge comes: Get into action, feel the excitement that comes with stepping out of the familiar. Ask yourself: What would my hero do?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 25-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or 0-1 degree of <strong>Capricorn, Aries, Cancer,</strong> or <strong>Libra</strong></i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\"> </b><i>will feel most affected by this aspect.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 15th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><strong> until 6:12am EDT</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 3:32am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 2.5 hours, <strong>until 6:12am EDT</strong>. If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it as an opportunity to explore larger truths and your own life further.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday early morning ahead of time\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 6:12am EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><b><i>, </i></b>where it will journey <strong>until Saturday afternoon</strong>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.<b> </b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday: </strong><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Friday late morning,</b> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours.\r\n\r\n<b>Friday, late in the evening, </b>we have the opportunity to be guided by inspiration, and fully commit to a project or task that might serve us long-term. As best as you can, listen and trust to the subtle messages in your heart, that stir you towards success.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 17th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><strong> until 2:57pm EDT</strong> (see Thursday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 9:11am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon will align with the Sun in almost 27 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong></em>; this marks the beginning of a new Moon cycle. <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/New+Moon.aspx\">Feel free to watch my New Moon video on the subject </a>\r\n<div>\r\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\r\n<div>\r\n<div><strong>Pisces</strong> is the last sign of the zodiac. It connects us to our spiritual journey, as it represents a reunion with Source/God/the Universe. When at its highest vibration, <strong>Pisces</strong> unifies all dualities -- it is completely aware of the oneness of all. It tells us there is a union within, that exists always, and we can tap into it.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Pisces</strong> is accepting and aware of its eternal nature. It lovingly allows all, because it knows that there is no real separation between things, that separation only exists in the mind.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>At it\'s lowest vibration however, <strong>Pisces</strong> feels separate, fearful, and victimized. It wants to escape the harsh physical realities of this world. We get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not go within to connect with our inner divinity, when we do not trust ourselves, our inner processes and intuitive Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What stops me from connecting to my inner divinity? What if I opened to the perfection of life? What if I trusted to universal timing? Might plenty of down-time and rest actually support my reconnection with Source-energy or my intuitive Self?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>This New Moon aligns with Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong></em>: this amplifies the message to be conscious of our intuitive/spiritual healing journey -- individually and collectively ;-) We are being invited to forgive our own \"humanness\" and open our hearts. Suppressing or denying our feelings and intuitive gifts is even less recommended now.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>There is no shame in feeling things, in being sensitive, in being imaginative and kind -- not just with the people we love but publicly as well. We are invited to shift our perspective about \"feelings\" and \"being sensitive\", from perceiving it as weakness, to allowing it to be our strength, our gift.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We are invited to embrace all of who we are (including our emotional body), if we are to fully function in this world -- and if we are to create a world that supports all living things equally.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>Chiron will be moving into <strong>Aries</strong> in April</em>, so as best as you can, think back over the last 7 years (while Chiron has been in <strong>Pisces</strong>); <strong>ask yourself</strong>: In what ways have I been able to heal my relationship to the divine? Am I more in touch with my own intuition now vs, then (2011)? What sensitivities or limitations have come up around the feeling-body? What still needs my love, understanding and compassion in those areas of my life?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>If we can shift our perspective from \"failure and blame\" to \"growth and learning\", we have an opportunity here to take a quantum leap forward in our individual and collective evolution. If a mere 5% of us went through a transformation, imagine what that would trigger for all.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself</strong>: Am I going to be one of the 5%? What might shift if I allowed myself to flow with the energetic stream rather than struggle against it? What might be possible if I gave my body and mind the opportunity to slow down, perhaps even get completely quiet at least 5 minutes every day?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>Venus, Mercury and Uranus are all in <strong>Aries</strong></em> at the time of this New Moon. This brings another dimension to the New Moon chart: an action-oriented and direct approach that supports our inner courage.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>Mercury is stationing, preparing to go retrograde on March 22nd</em> (at 17 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong>), and is thus exalted.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>This brings awareness to our day to day thinking, and how we process and share information; we are more impulsive and quick-minded, and may communicate from a place of passion and courage, or anger. We are also more aware of our own inner dialog and how assertive or aggressive it is.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Pay attention to what\'s \"in your face\" right now. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What\'s important to me? Where do I over-think? Where do I act (or react) without thinking? What are my physical and mental impulses telling me? What role does \"passion\" or \"courage\" play in all of this?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We also covered this in our last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the <strong>Mercury Station and Retrograde</strong> is going to impact you personally, feel free to watch the mp4 video-presentation of our last Forum -- we applied what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/jupiters-optimism-mercurys-mental-dance-from-within/\">Here is an excerpt from the webinar. </a>For the full 90+ min. webinars <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a> (available for purchase until March 30th)</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>The Mercury Station and Retrograde</em> invite us to go beyond the conditioning of our mind, our stories, and our script, and to release what is no longer in alignment with our personal goals, our passions, our \"true\" Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What if I tapped into my inner courage? What if I communicated honestly, was fearless, was without apologies? What if I gave myself permission to start fresh? Every day, every moment?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>Mars in <strong>Sagittarius</strong> squares the New Moon and Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong></em>. This might create some restlessness and uneasiness in regards to our healing journey this month. We may feel we are falling behind, become impatient -- easily annoyed, or simply angry at not being where we\'d like to be. We may want to move faster than our emotional/intuitive body is asking us to go at this time -- individually and collectively speaking.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself here</strong>: Am I using my warrior energy to defend my belief systems and view about life, or to explore larger truths? Am I asserting myself so I can walk my own talk, or using my anger to dominate and separate myself further from others?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Is \"knowingness\" a way to make myself feel better about who I am (i.e. to feel superior), or a compass I can use to explore my life further? Are there any beliefs I hold dear that have limited my connection to Source/intuition? What might be possible if I applied a new approach and brought open-heartedness to those scripts?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We may feel triggered by others and may well trigger them. Some of that may feel connected to the past -- something in our history with someone else might be the trigger in question.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>When this happens, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> Is this somehow familiar? Is it possible it\'s historical? What does it remind me of? Am I attached to being \"right\" here? Could I welcome wanting approval, safety or control? What if opening my heart created space for all truths to co-exist side by side? No need for conflict, or right, or wrong... simply a space for all of it to be part of the larger sea of life. What might be possible if compassion were the warrior-energy of our heart?</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n<em>Mars moves into <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact; it will play a major role for the rest of March and April. If you want to know how all of this is going to impact you personally, feel free to join the next Forecasting Forum -- we will go into Mars\'s involvement with Saturn, and with Pluto\'s Station and Retrograde phases in more detail -- and apply that insight to our own birth charts.\r\n\r\nThe next Forum will be on <strong>Monday, April 2nd, 2018 at</strong> 10am PST/ <strong>1pm EDT</strong>/6pm BST (London-time). <strong>For more info or to register at the regular fee,</strong> <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">click here</a>. <strong>To join for FREE</strong>, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/JLFckh\">become a Star or SuperStar Member</a> on my site\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\r\n<div>\r\n<div><em>Neptune, the ruler of <strong>Pisces</strong>,</em> is currently in its own sign and brings a very clear message to this New Moon: for the next 28 days, as best as you can, unplug and listen deeply to your heart and soul. Allow for all feelings to flow; allow for yourself to be with what is.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Tap into the divinity within through any, some, or all of the following: meditation; being in nature; music; dance; energy healing; dream work; creative writing; art; being with your intuition. In the silence we feel the oneness with all there is, we feel the unconditional love the Universe provides.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>Since 2011, when Neptune and Chiron moved into <strong>Pisces</strong></em>, we have been becoming more and more aware that we are One. Everything is energy, everything is connected and everything is in a continuous flow/movement. Each of us is like a drop of water, appearing to be individual, yet also a part of the big ocean of life. We are the sum of all parts: physical, spiritual, emotional, mental… and all that exists is part of the whole.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Take 5-minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, to get quiet and be with yourself (your intuitive/feeling Self). What might become possible if you gave this to your body and mind on a regular basis?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What might a healthy connection with the energetic world feel like? What if I were 5% more interested in my inner world? What if I simply embraced whatever I discovered there? Could I simply allow what \"is\" to \"just be\", just for this very moment?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We are invited to take actions that are aligned with intuition, and communicate our boundaries... perhaps even remove ourselves from situations, when that is the loving thing to do.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>In other words: we move with \"all is well\", no matter what the appearance or view looks like, out there in the world. We trust our inner senses. This is something we need to relearn; we are so conditioned to focus on the outside world for answers, to look to our mind-chatter for answers, or to close off and protect ourselves. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What results might I get if I tapped into inner courage, inner sensing/intuition, and the power of compassion... all at the same time?</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Again, <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/New+Moon.aspx\">feel free to watch my video on the subject .</a></div>\r\n<div>\r\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\r\n<div>\r\n<div>\r\n<div id=\":7xx\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Hide expanded content\" data-tooltip=\"Hide expanded content\"><img src=\"https://ssl.gstatic.com/ui/v1/icons/mail/images/cleardot.gif\" /></div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div>\r\n<div><em>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in one of the following placements: 25-29 degrees of <strong>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </strong>or<strong> Sagittarius</strong>?

Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <strong><i>not</i> </strong>during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions</i> would be <b>between 2:47pm EDT today (March 17th) and 9:11am EDT Monday morning (March 19th).</b>\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EDT (US East Coast-time), feel free to join my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> <i>or</i> follow me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders on Saturday afternoon, Sunday throughout the day, and Monday morning to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nPart of the reason for this is that on<strong> Saturday at 9:12am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 5.5 hours, <strong>until 2:57pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to go within and meditate or pray/give thanks/converse with your higher Self.\r\n\r\nThis will support us in feeling connected to our inner Universe -- and of course, it will be a tremendous help in healing our emotional wounds. Finally, as always during VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday morning and afternoon ahead of time.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<strong>Saturday at 12:40pm EDT,</strong> <i>Mars changes signs </i><i>from optimistic, adventurous</i><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> to realistic, prestige-and-accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until May 16th</strong>. For those 8.5 weeks, we tend to feel more determined, goal-oriented and focused. We are not afraid to work hard on attainable goals so that we can see tangible results.\r\n\r\nOur drive to succeed is quite strong, especially when we feel a need for physical and material security — that is, in the realm of all that can be seen and held. Our self-control tends to be quite strong around the expression of \"drives\" -- things like anger, energy, ambition, and sexuality -- in fact, with Mars in Capricorn we are at our least impulsive, with a powerful need to stay in control.\r\n\r\nBecause we have such a strong sense of responsibility, we need to be careful not to start using work to hide from others. Anger can easily get channeled into our work as well. As best as you can, be kind to yourself, remember we all do the best we can; there is no need for extra pressure.\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more focused and determent. You may want to get down to business. If you are a </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 8.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 2:57pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><b><i>,</i></b> where it will journey <b><strong>until Monday evening</strong></b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday after 2:57pm EDT, </b>it\'s time to start setting your Intentions of this Moon cycle.<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here</a><i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 18th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries </i>all day</b> (see Saturday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday night/Sunday very early morning</b> <i>Mercury starts its station-phase</i>. From<b> today on, </b>right through<b> March 29th.</b> <i>Mercury slows down tremendously</i><i>,</i> as it prepares to come to a halt before turning retrograde on March 22nd. During the station, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments during the retrograde -- or the shadow phase that follows.\r\n\r\nFor the next 12 days, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait until after May 3rd, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 14-19 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></i><b><i>, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday evening,</strong> <em>a Sun/Chiron alignment in 28 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:15pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Wednesday evening (March 21st). </strong>This gives us an opportunity to heal insecurities or shame through conscious awareness.\r\n\r\nBecoming aware of old wounds or limitations is the first step toward healing them. Bringing compassion, self-acceptance, and love to it is the second. Together, steps one and two make for a beautiful healing experience.\r\n\r\nIt will help to stay grounded — connected to the Earth and your body. If waves of feeling come up, let them, simply observe the waves. Ask yourself: Am I the \"wave\" or am I more than that? As best as you can, allow all \"waves\" to wash ashore, and allow yourself to rest as the vastness that you are (just like the ocean is to the waves).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 25-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of <strong>Aries, Libra, Cancer</strong> or <strong>Capricorn</strong></i><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso, <b>Sunday all day: </b>If you haven\'t gotten around to it yet,<i> </i><i>set your Intentions</i> for this Moon cycle...

Uranus is an outer planet that takes a long time to go around the Sun; the last time it moved through Taurus was between June 1934 and May 1942; before that, it was from July 1850 - March 1859.\r\n\r\nBefore we look at those periods of history, let’s talk briefly about the themes of Uranus in Taurus, so we can spot those “rhymes” if they occur. <em>What can we expect when disruptive Uranus moves through earthy <strong>Taurus</strong>?</em> Well, for one thing, it would be wise to get comfortable with being uncomfortable and relaxed with being surprised.\r\n\r\nIf we were only allowed one word to describe what Uranus does, it would be \"disruption\". It\'s all about progress, change -- but not necessarily gradual, continuous amendment of the old -- this is more like breaking down and uprooting the \"old\" structures.\r\n\r\nThis is the planet of “vision”, and like all visionaries, it favors a revolution as the quickest way to realize the \"ideal future state\". It moves toward more freedom -- you could say the higher vibration of Uranus seeks freedom for all, while a lower vibration says \"I need to be free to do what I want, and the hell with you\".\r\n\r\nUranus listens to a higher calling -- a Divine Mind -- and can thus be detached from emotion and “human feeling”. Depending on the vision being pursued, this can be highly beneficial, or very dangerous.\r\n\r\nUranus urges everyone to wake up and smell the coffee, then join together to make coffee like the world has never seen and make sure that nobody ever has to drink mediocre coffee ever again.\r\n\r\nSome Uranian keywords: Technology, Innovation, Discovery, Novelty, Ingenuity, Originality, and Astrology.\r\n\r\nUranus has two major modes: Reactive and Intuitive. Look over that list of keywords again and notice how those modes would play out for each one -- \"reactive\" would lead pretty much every time to harm, \"intuitive\" to life-giving breakthroughs.\r\n\r\nAs you can probably tell, Uranus celebrates originality and individuality; it loves the rebels and revolutionaries who rally against the \"establishment\" and their established thought -- or who at least put a new spin on old things. It can also go overboard and end up steering an erratic course onto the rocks.\r\n\r\n<em>So much for Uranus -- what of <strong>Taurus</strong>? </em>Taurus is connected to...\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>ALREADY A MEMBER?

This would include the practical uses we make of it -- first and foremost, for growing our food, but also for ownership and stewardship of its land and resources. It also covers our most personal \"resources\", i.e. our talents, and our values. Just as the land brings forth life, Taurus is also the sign of fertility; just as we honor the material reality of the planet, Taurus calls on us to honor our bodies.\r\n\r\nAmong other things, Taurus rules the following: farming, finance, high-quality food, comfort, sensuality, beauty, the voice (e.g. singing), the five senses, the practical and useful, and producing something with your hands (for example, putting up a building is very Taurean).\r\n\r\nNow that we’ve covered the major themes of Uranus and Taurus, let’s take a look at those two historical periods.\r\n\r\nWhat do we see when we look at these turbulent times through the lens of Astrology? Are there any Uranian themes we see running through them? And how does that Taurean influence play out? Let’s look at July 1850 - March 1859 first, then move on to the period between June 1934 and May 1942).\r\n\r\nWagner and Verdi fused classical themes with contemporary music to create Grand Opera. Charles Dickens and Tolstoy revolutionize the novel, while Walt Whitman\'s \"Leaves of Grass\" changes poetry forever.\r\n\r\nFlorence Nightingale becomes a pioneer of modern nursing and profoundly affects people\'s perceptions of women and their capabilities.\r\n\r\nStronger, cheaper steel is invented, along with the Otis Elevator – people begin to envision buildings so tall, they would be called “skyscrapers” (Taurus rules the making of buildings).\r\n\r\nGregor Mendel begins studying genetics, Neanderthal remains are discovered, and Darwin presents his Theory of Evolution.\r\n\r\nThe Financial Panic of 1857 closed the banks for two months, while out West, gold fever gripped the nation; and the Trans-Atlantic cable sent a telegram across the ocean in real-time.\r\n\r\nMany things we now take for granted were invented in this period, among others: gasoline, mass media (the first major newspapers were published in London), pencils with attached erasers, blue jeans, potato chips….\r\n\r\nNow let’s look at the period from June 1934 – May 1942.\r\n\r\nThis more recent Uranus/Taurus transit was one of tremendous upheaval, with much undoing of old structures. In the US, the \"New Deal\" accelerated and radically changed how government worked, including the introduction of \"Social Security\". And of course, having gained power in 1933, the Nazi party swept away Germany\'s \"Weimar Republic\" and used new technologies to realize Hitler’s murderous vision.\r\n\r\nMany inventions came to light during this time, some that would change the course of human history in very fundamental ways: antibiotics (for the first time, humans could \"beat\", not just \"treat\", disease). If you are reading this on a “programmable computer” of any kind (smartphone, PC, etc.), its ancestor was created at this time. Work began on the first nuclear weapons.\r\n\r\nFrank Lloyd Wright built \"Fallingwater\", and the first entirely glass-covered building went up in Illinois (note the advances in building techniques). The 1936 Berlin Olympics became the first live television event (and viewers could watch African-American Jesse Owens win four gold medals). A positive vision of a \"superman\" was also advanced in comic books and literature: Superman, Batman, and Captain America went on their first adventures. Perhaps some of those stories were written in the ballpoint pen that was rapidly replacing the old \"fountain\" pens.\r\n\r\nYou could drive a car with an automatic transmission down the first modern highway in America (the Pennsylvania Turnpike), perhaps burning some of the oil recently discovered in Saudi Arabia. If you drove all the way to California, you could grab a burger and fries at a new restaurant called \"McDonald\'s\", where two brothers pursued their vision of “fast food” by applying Henry Ford\'s production line techniques to food preparation.\r\n\r\nAs you can see, the pace of change in both periods is pretty staggering – and certainly, the world has not slowed down any since then – so what areas of life should we look at for a new vision to emerge in?\r\n\r\nFirstly, we can expect lots of practical applications for technologies, innovations and discoveries, especially those that came to light within the last 7 years (while Uranus was in Aries). People will be teeming with ideas to make life easier (or at least more comfortable) on a physical level -- this goes not just for humans, but for the planet and all its residents.\r\n\r\nFarming might also see tremendous change -- growing our own food could gain in appeal – perhaps with the emergence of new technologies that support us with food production and gardening.\r\n\r\nWe may get a wake-up call concerning the planet\'s condition, leading us to change how we view it (and use its resources). In general, this long transit builds our awareness of physical matter and how we treat both our bodies and the only planet our human bodies can live on without an air-tight suit.\r\n\r\nOur attention is also directed to the ways we spend our money and who looks after it for us (banks and the financial system). Will the cryptocurrencies that have gained tremendous ground over the last 7 years profoundly disrupt the banking “world”?\r\n\r\nFinally, we clearly have a responsibility to be very careful which visions we value and pursue (and which visionaries we listen to) – will we reap the benefits of that intuitive Uranian mode, or come from the reactive, fear-based mode that can cause such harm to ourselves, each other, and our planet? It’s up to us to decide in every moment.\r\n\r\n[/wcm_restrict]\r\n\r\nOf course, you are a unique individual, having a unique experience in this ever-unfolding universe -- so this major shift will affect you uniquely.

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 11:36am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 6:44pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan all of Monday afternoon and early evening ahead of time\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 6:44pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Thursday morning</strong><b>.</b> The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius </i>all day </b>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Venus/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 8:39am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. </strong>This aspect<b> </b>asks us to stretch and grow beyond how we\'ve known ourselves in our relationships up to this point -- a process of maturing that requires we adjust and stay flexible.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, we want to make new and passionate connections while enthusiastically engaging with life; on the other hand, we feel a sharp need to focus on what we want to manifest long-term -- what works, what doesn\'t, what are our resources to make it happen, how can we move from A to B without missing anything essential -- in short, to determine what\'s real and can provide us with the best foundation for the next step. Do your best to make space for both of these urges.\r\n\r\nWe tend to be more cautious when it comes to relationships and finances now -- and in fact, this is not the best time to start a brand-new romantic relationship. Financially though, this aspect can be eye-opening; if we can find creative ways to deal with money, we will grow from it.\r\n\r\nThe key is to approach things in both realms with enthusiasm and maturity. Pushing will most likely not get us what we want: better to go one step at a time, slow and steady; that way, we can come back later with a stronger approach and more mature expectations.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><i> 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late afternoon,</strong> <em>a harmonious Sun/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 4:06pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Friday. </strong>It’s an opportunity to see things from a different perspective. What will lead us to this new vantage point?\r\n\r\nOptimism, an open mind, an open heart: Follow your enthusiasm as if it were a wilderness guide — and let yourself be creative and free, especially with or around other people.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 14th): <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b></strong><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Mars/Chiron aspect </em>becomes exact at 2:10am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Thursday night (March 8th) on; it will remain strong until next week Monday (March 19th). </strong>This aspect challenges us to see our own attachments and aversions as a normal, perhaps even valid, part of being human. That way, should we choose to express desire or anger (or even contempt or disgust), such expressions will feel natural and organic, rather than something that provokes shame.\r\n\r\nWe may experience situations that call forth our initiative and independence -- but may not feel confident that we can rise to the challenge, let alone follow through. As best as you can, when the challenge comes: Get into action, feel the excitement that comes with stepping out of the familiar. Ask yourself: What would my hero do?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 25-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or 0-1 degree of <strong>Capricorn, Aries, Cancer,</strong> or <strong>Libra</strong></i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\"> </b><i>will feel most affected by this aspect.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 15th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><strong> until 6:12am EDT</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 3:32am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 2.5 hours, <strong>until 6:12am EDT</strong>. If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it as an opportunity to explore larger truths and your own life further.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday early morning ahead of time\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 6:12am EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><b><i>, </i></b>where it will journey <strong>until Saturday afternoon</strong>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.<b> </b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday: </strong><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Friday late morning,</b> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours.\r\n\r\n<b>Friday, late in the evening, </b>we have the opportunity to be guided by inspiration, and fully commit to a project or task that might serve us long-term. As best as you can, listen and trust to the subtle messages in your heart, that stir you towards success.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 17th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><strong> until 2:57pm EDT</strong> (see Thursday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<span class=\"im\"><b><span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1076589850\"><span class=\"aQJ\">Saturday at 9:11am EDT</span></span>,</b><i> the</i> <i>Moon will align with the Sun in almost 27 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces;</i></b> this marks the beginning of a <em>new Moon cycle</em>.

It connects us to our spiritual journey, as it represents a reunion with Source/God/the Universe. When at its highest vibration, <b>Pisces </b>unifies all dualities -- it is completely aware of the oneness of all. It tells us there is a union within, that exists always, and we can tap into it.</div>\r\n<div><b> </b></div>\r\n<div><b>Pisces</b> is accepting and aware of its eternal nature. It lovingly allows all, because it knows that there is no real separation between things, that separation only exists in the mind.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>At it\'s lowest vibration however, <strong>Pisces</strong> feels separate, fearful, and victimized. It wants to escape the harsh physical realities of this world. We get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not go within to connect with our inner divinity, when we do not trust ourselves, our inner processes and intuitive Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What stops me from connecting to my inner divinity? What if I opened to the perfection of life? What if I trusted to universal timing? Might plenty of down-time and rest actually support my reconnection with Source-energy or my intuitive Self?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>This New Moon aligns with Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>: this amplifies the message to be conscious of our intuitive/spiritual healing journey -- individually and collectively ;-) We are being invited to forgive our own \"humanness\" and open our hearts. Suppressing or denying our feelings and intuitive gifts is even less recommended now.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>There is no shame in feeling things, in being sensitive, in being imaginative and kind -- not just with the people we love but publicly as well. We are invited to shift our perspective about \"feelings\" and \"being sensitive\", from perceiving it as weakness, to allowing it to be our strength, our gift.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We are invited to embrace all of who we are (including our emotional body), if we are to fully function in this world -- and if we are to create a world that supports all living things equally.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>Chiron will be moving into <strong>Aries</strong> in April,</em> so as best as you can, think back over the last 7 years (while Chiron has been in <strong>Pisces</strong>); <strong>ask yourself:</strong> In what ways have I been able to heal my relationship to the divine? Am I more in touch with my own intuition now vs, then (2011)? What sensitivities or limitations have come up around the feeling-body? What still needs my love, understanding and compassion in those areas of my life?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>If we can shift our perspective from \"failure and blame\" to \"growth and learning\", we have an opportunity here to take a quantum leap forward in our individual and collective evolution. If a mere 5% of us went through a transformation, imagine what that would trigger for all.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Am I going to be one of the 5%? What might shift if I allowed myself to flow with the energetic stream rather than struggle against it? What might be possible if I gave my body and mind the opportunity to slow down, perhaps even get completely quiet at least 5 minutes every day?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Venus, Mercury and Uranus are all in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b>at the time of this New Moon. This brings another dimension to the New Moon chart: an action-oriented and direct approach that supports our inner courage.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Mercury is stationing</i>, preparing to go retrograde on <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1076589851\"><span class=\"aQJ\">March 22nd</span></span> (at 17 degrees of <b>Aries)</b>, and is thus exalted.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>This brings awareness to our day to day thinking, and how we process and share information; we are more impulsive and quick-minded, and may communicate from a place of passion and courage, or anger. We are also more aware of our own inner dialog and how assertive or aggressive it is.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Pay attention to what\'s \"in your face\" right now. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What\'s important to me? Where do I over-think? Where do I act (or react) without thinking? What are my physical and mental impulses telling me? What role does \"passion\" play in all of this?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We also covered this in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the Mercury Station and Retrograde is going to impact you personally, feel free to watch the mp4 video-presentation of our last Forum -- we applied what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/jupiters-optimism-mercurys-mental-dance-from-within/\">Here is an excerpt from the webinar. </a>For the full 90+ min. webinars <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>The Mercury Station and Retrograde</em> invite us to go beyond the conditioning of our mind, our stories, and our script, and to release what is no longer in alignment with our personal goals, our passions, our \"true\" Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What if I tapped into my inner courage? What if I communicated honestly, was fearless, was without apologies? What if I gave myself permission to start fresh? Every day, every moment?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> squares the New Moon and Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>. This might create some restlessness and uneasiness in regards to our healing journey this month. We may feel we are falling behind, become impatient -- easily annoyed, or simply angry at not being where we\'d like to be. We may want to move faster than our emotional/intuitive body is asking us to go at this time -- individually and collectively speaking.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself here</strong>: Am I using my warrior energy to defend my belief systems and view about life, or to explore larger truths? Am I asserting myself so I can walk my own talk, or using my anger to dominate and separate myself further from others?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Is \"knowingness\" a way to make myself feel better about who I am (i.e. to feel superior), or a compass I can use to explore my life further? Are there any beliefs I hold dear that have limited my connection to Source/intuition? What might be possible if I applied a new approach and brought open-heartedness to those scripts?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We may feel triggered by others and may well trigger them. Some of that may feel connected to the past -- something in our history with someone else might be the trigger in question.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>When this happens, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> Is this somehow familiar? Is it possible it\'s historical? What does it remind me of? Am I attached to being \"right\" here? Could I welcome wanting approval, safety or control? What if opening my heart created space for all truths to co-exist side by side? No need for conflict, or right, or wrong... simply a space for all of it to be part of the larger sea of life. What might be possible if compassion were the warrior-energy of our heart?</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n<em>Mars moves into <strong>Capricorn</strong> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact</em>; it will play a major role for the rest of March and April. If you want to know how all of this is going to impact you personally, feel free to join the next Forecasting Forum -- we will go into Mars\'s involvement with Saturn, and with Pluto\'s Station and Retrograde phases in more detail -- and apply that insight to our own birth charts.\r\n\r\nThe next Forum will be on <b>Monday</b>, <b>April 2nd, 2018 at </b>10am<b> </b>PST/<b> 1pm EDT</b>/6pm BST (London-time). For more info or to register, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">click here</a>.

Allow for all feelings to flow; allow for yourself to be with what is.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Tap into the divinity within through any, some, or all of the following: meditation; being in nature; music; dance; energy healing; dream work; creative writing; art; being with your intuition. In the silence we feel the oneness with all there is, we feel the unconditional love the Universe provides.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Since 2011, when Neptune and Chiron moved into <b>Pisces</b>, we have been becoming more and more aware that we are<b> One. </b>Everything is energy, everything is connected and everything is in a continuous flow/movement. Each of us is like a drop of water, appearing to be individual, yet also a part of the big ocean of life. We are the sum of all parts: physical, spiritual, emotional, mental… and <i>all</i> that exists is part of the whole.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Take 5-minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, to get quiet and be with yourself (your intuitive/feeling Self). What might become possible if you gave this to your body and mind on a regular basis?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What might a healthy connection with the energetic world feel like? What if I were 5% more interested in my inner world? What if I simply embraced whatever I discovered there? Could I simply allow what \"is\" to \"just be\", just for this very moment?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We are invited to take actions that are aligned with intuition, and communicate our boundaries... perhaps even remove ourselves from situations, when that is the loving thing to do.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>In other words: we move with \"all is well\", no matter what the appearance or view looks like, out there in the world. We trust our inner senses. This is something we need to relearn; we are so conditioned to focus on the outside world for answers, to look to our mind-chatter for answers, or to close off and protect ourselves. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What results might I get if I tapped into inner courage, inner sensing/intuition, and the power of compassion... all at the same time?</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><span class=\"im\">Again, feel free to also watch my New Moon video on the subject: <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">youtube.//...</span></span></div>\r\n<div>\r\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\r\n<div class=\"gmail_default\">\r\n<div class=\"yj6qo ajU\">\r\n<div id=\":7xx\" class=\"ajR\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Hide expanded content\" data-tooltip=\"Hide expanded content\"><img class=\"ajT\" src=\"https://ssl.gstatic.com/ui/v1/icons/mail/images/cleardot.gif\" /></div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div class=\"adL\">\r\n<div><i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in one of the following placements: 25-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel the effects of this extra-powerful New Moon more strongly for the next 6 months. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Cancer </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i></div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to <i>set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle</i>. Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <strong><i>not</i> </strong>during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions</i> would be <b>between 2:47pm EDT today (March 17th) and 9:11am EDT Monday morning (March 19th).</b>\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EDT (US East Coast-time), feel free to join my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> <i>or</i> follow me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders on Saturday afternoon, Sunday throughout the day, and Monday morning to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nPart of the reason for this is that on<strong> Saturday at 9:12am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 5.5 hours, <strong>until 2:57pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to go within and meditate or pray/give thanks/converse with your higher Self.\r\n\r\nThis will support us in feeling connected to our inner Universe -- and of course, it will be a tremendous help in healing our emotional wounds. Finally, as always during VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday morning and afternoon ahead of time.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<strong>Saturday at 12:40pm EDT,</strong> <i>Mars changes signs </i><i>from optimistic, adventurous</i><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> to realistic, prestige-and-accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until May 16th</strong>. For those 8.5 weeks, we tend to feel more determined, goal-oriented and focused. We are not afraid to work hard on attainable goals so that we can see tangible results.\r\n\r\nOur drive to succeed is quite strong, especially when we feel a need for physical and material security — that is, in the realm of all that can be seen and held. Our self-control tends to be quite strong around the expression of \"drives\" -- things like anger, energy, ambition, and sexuality -- in fact, with Mars in Capricorn we are at our least impulsive, with a powerful need to stay in control.\r\n\r\nBecause we have such a strong sense of responsibility, we need to be careful not to start using work to hide from others. Anger can easily get channeled into our work as well. As best as you can, be kind to yourself, remember we all do the best we can; there is no need for extra pressure.\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more focused and determent. You may want to get down to business. If you are a </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 8.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 2:57pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><b><i>,</i></b> where it will journey <b><strong>until Monday evening</strong></b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday after 2:57pm EDT, </b>it\'s time to start setting your Intentions of this Moon cycle.<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here</a><i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 18th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries </i>all day</b> (see Saturday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday night/Sunday very early morning</b> <i>Mercury starts its station-phase</i>. From<b> today on, </b>right through<b> March 29th.</b> <i>Mercury slows down tremendously</i><i>,</i> as it prepares to come to a halt before turning retrograde on March 22nd. During the station, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments during the retrograde -- or the shadow phase that follows.\r\n\r\nFor the next 12 days, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait until after May 3rd, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 14-19 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></i><b><i>, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday evening,</strong> <em>a Sun/Chiron alignment in 28 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:15pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Wednesday evening (March 21st). </strong>This gives us an opportunity to heal insecurities or shame through conscious awareness.\r\n\r\nBecoming aware of old wounds or limitations is the first step toward healing them. Bringing compassion, self-acceptance, and love to it is the second. Together, steps one and two make for a beautiful healing experience.\r\n\r\nIt will help to stay grounded — connected to the Earth and your body. If waves of feeling come up, let them, simply observe the waves. Ask yourself: Am I the \"wave\" or am I more than that? As best as you can, allow all \"waves\" to wash ashore, and allow yourself to rest as the vastness that you are (just like the ocean is to the waves).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 25-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of <strong>Aries, Libra, Cancer</strong> or <strong>Capricorn</strong></i><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso, <b>Sunday all day: </b>If you haven\'t gotten around to it yet,<i> </i><i>set your Intentions</i> for this Moon cycle...

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 11:36am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 6:44pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan all of Monday afternoon and early evening ahead of time\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 6:44pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Thursday morning</strong><b>.</b> The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius </i>all day </b>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Venus/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 8:39am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. </strong>This aspect<b> </b>asks us to stretch and grow beyond how we\'ve known ourselves in our relationships up to this point -- a process of maturing that requires we adjust and stay flexible.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, we want to make new and passionate connections while enthusiastically engaging with life; on the other hand, we feel a sharp need to focus on what we want to manifest long-term -- what works, what doesn\'t, what are our resources to make it happen, how can we move from A to B without missing anything essential -- in short, to determine what\'s real and can provide us with the best foundation for the next step. Do your best to make space for both of these urges.\r\n\r\nWe tend to be more cautious when it comes to relationships and finances now -- and in fact, this is not the best time to start a brand-new romantic relationship. Financially though, this aspect can be eye-opening; if we can find creative ways to deal with money, we will grow from it.\r\n\r\nThe key is to approach things in both realms with enthusiasm and maturity. Pushing will most likely not get us what we want: better to go one step at a time, slow and steady; that way, we can come back later with a stronger approach and more mature expectations.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><i> 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late afternoon,</strong> <em>a harmonious Sun/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 4:06pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Friday. </strong>It’s an opportunity to see things from a different perspective. What will lead us to this new vantage point?\r\n\r\nOptimism, an open mind, an open heart: Follow your enthusiasm as if it were a wilderness guide — and let yourself be creative and free, especially with or around other people.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 14th): <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b></strong><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Mars/Chiron aspect </em>becomes exact at 2:10am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Thursday night (March 8th) on; it will remain strong until next week Monday (March 19th). </strong>This aspect challenges us to see our own attachments and aversions as a normal, perhaps even valid, part of being human. That way, should we choose to express desire or anger (or even contempt or disgust), such expressions will feel natural and organic, rather than something that provokes shame.\r\n\r\nWe may experience situations that call forth our initiative and independence -- but may not feel confident that we can rise to the challenge, let alone follow through. As best as you can, when the challenge comes: Get into action, feel the excitement that comes with stepping out of the familiar. Ask yourself: What would my hero do?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 25-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or 0-1 degree of <strong>Capricorn, Aries, Cancer,</strong> or <strong>Libra</strong></i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\"> </b><i>will feel most affected by this aspect.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 15th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><strong> until 6:12am EDT</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 3:32am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 2.5 hours, <strong>until 6:12am EDT</strong>. If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it as an opportunity to explore larger truths and your own life further.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday early morning ahead of time\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 6:12am EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><b><i>, </i></b>where it will journey <strong>until Saturday afternoon</strong>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.<b> </b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday: </strong><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Friday late morning,</b> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours.\r\n\r\n<b>Friday, late in the evening, </b>we have the opportunity to be guided by inspiration, and fully commit to a project or task that might serve us long-term. As best as you can, listen and trust to the subtle messages in your heart, that stir you towards success.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 17th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><strong> until 2:57pm EDT</strong> (see Thursday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<span class=\"im\"><b><span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1076589850\"><span class=\"aQJ\">Saturday at 9:11am EDT</span></span>,</b><i> the</i> <i>Moon will align with the Sun in almost 27 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces;</i></b> this marks the beginning of a <em>new Moon cycle</em>.

It connects us to our spiritual journey, as it represents a reunion with Source/God/the Universe. When at its highest vibration, <b>Pisces </b>unifies all dualities -- it is completely aware of the oneness of all. It tells us there is a union within, that exists always, and we can tap into it.</div>\r\n<div><b> </b></div>\r\n<div><b>Pisces</b> is accepting and aware of its eternal nature. It lovingly allows all, because it knows that there is no real separation between things, that separation only exists in the mind.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>At it\'s lowest vibration however, <strong>Pisces</strong> feels separate, fearful, and victimized. It wants to escape the harsh physical realities of this world. We get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not go within to connect with our inner divinity, when we do not trust ourselves, our inner processes and intuitive Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What stops me from connecting to my inner divinity? What if I opened to the perfection of life? What if I trusted to universal timing? Might plenty of down-time and rest actually support my reconnection with Source-energy or my intuitive Self?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>This New Moon aligns with Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>: this amplifies the message to be conscious of our intuitive/spiritual healing journey -- individually and collectively ;-) We are being invited to forgive our own \"humanness\" and open our hearts. Suppressing or denying our feelings and intuitive gifts is even less recommended now.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>There is no shame in feeling things, in being sensitive, in being imaginative and kind -- not just with the people we love but publicly as well. We are invited to shift our perspective about \"feelings\" and \"being sensitive\", from perceiving it as weakness, to allowing it to be our strength, our gift.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We are invited to embrace all of who we are (including our emotional body), if we are to fully function in this world -- and if we are to create a world that supports all living things equally.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>Chiron will be moving into <strong>Aries</strong> in April,</em> so as best as you can, think back over the last 7 years (while Chiron has been in <strong>Pisces</strong>); <strong>ask yourself:</strong> In what ways have I been able to heal my relationship to the divine? Am I more in touch with my own intuition now vs, then (2011)? What sensitivities or limitations have come up around the feeling-body? What still needs my love, understanding and compassion in those areas of my life?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>If we can shift our perspective from \"failure and blame\" to \"growth and learning\", we have an opportunity here to take a quantum leap forward in our individual and collective evolution. If a mere 5% of us went through a transformation, imagine what that would trigger for all.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Am I going to be one of the 5%? What might shift if I allowed myself to flow with the energetic stream rather than struggle against it? What might be possible if I gave my body and mind the opportunity to slow down, perhaps even get completely quiet at least 5 minutes every day?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Venus, Mercury and Uranus are all in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b>at the time of this New Moon. This brings another dimension to the New Moon chart: an action-oriented and direct approach that supports our inner courage.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Mercury is stationing</i>, preparing to go retrograde on <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1076589851\"><span class=\"aQJ\">March 22nd</span></span> (at 17 degrees of <b>Aries)</b>, and is thus exalted.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>This brings awareness to our day to day thinking, and how we process and share information; we are more impulsive and quick-minded, and may communicate from a place of passion and courage, or anger. We are also more aware of our own inner dialog and how assertive or aggressive it is.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Pay attention to what\'s \"in your face\" right now. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What\'s important to me? Where do I over-think? Where do I act (or react) without thinking? What are my physical and mental impulses telling me? What role does \"passion\" play in all of this?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We also covered this in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the Mercury Station and Retrograde is going to impact you personally, feel free to watch the mp4 video-presentation of our last Forum -- we applied what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/jupiters-optimism-mercurys-mental-dance-from-within/\">Here is an excerpt from the webinar. </a>For the full 90+ min. webinars <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>The Mercury Station and Retrograde</em> invite us to go beyond the conditioning of our mind, our stories, and our script, and to release what is no longer in alignment with our personal goals, our passions, our \"true\" Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What if I tapped into my inner courage? What if I communicated honestly, was fearless, was without apologies? What if I gave myself permission to start fresh? Every day, every moment?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> squares the New Moon and Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>. This might create some restlessness and uneasiness in regards to our healing journey this month. We may feel we are falling behind, become impatient -- easily annoyed, or simply angry at not being where we\'d like to be. We may want to move faster than our emotional/intuitive body is asking us to go at this time -- individually and collectively speaking.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself here</strong>: Am I using my warrior energy to defend my belief systems and view about life, or to explore larger truths? Am I asserting myself so I can walk my own talk, or using my anger to dominate and separate myself further from others?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Is \"knowingness\" a way to make myself feel better about who I am (i.e. to feel superior), or a compass I can use to explore my life further? Are there any beliefs I hold dear that have limited my connection to Source/intuition? What might be possible if I applied a new approach and brought open-heartedness to those scripts?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We may feel triggered by others and may well trigger them. Some of that may feel connected to the past -- something in our history with someone else might be the trigger in question.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>When this happens, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> Is this somehow familiar? Is it possible it\'s historical? What does it remind me of? Am I attached to being \"right\" here? Could I welcome wanting approval, safety or control? What if opening my heart created space for all truths to co-exist side by side? No need for conflict, or right, or wrong... simply a space for all of it to be part of the larger sea of life. What might be possible if compassion were the warrior-energy of our heart?</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n<em>Mars moves into <strong>Capricorn</strong> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact</em>; it will play a major role for the rest of March and April. If you want to know how all of this is going to impact you personally, feel free to join the next Forecasting Forum -- we will go into Mars\'s involvement with Saturn, and with Pluto\'s Station and Retrograde phases in more detail -- and apply that insight to our own birth charts.\r\n\r\nThe next Forum will be on <b>Monday</b>, <b>April 2nd, 2018 at </b>10am<b> </b>PST/<b> 1pm EDT</b>/6pm BST (London-time). For more info or to register, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">click here</a>.

Allow for all feelings to flow; allow for yourself to be with what is.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Tap into the divinity within through any, some, or all of the following: meditation; being in nature; music; dance; energy healing; dream work; creative writing; art; being with your intuition. In the silence we feel the oneness with all there is, we feel the unconditional love the Universe provides.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Since 2011, when Neptune and Chiron moved into <b>Pisces</b>, we have been becoming more and more aware that we are<b> One. </b>Everything is energy, everything is connected and everything is in a continuous flow/movement. Each of us is like a drop of water, appearing to be individual, yet also a part of the big ocean of life. We are the sum of all parts: physical, spiritual, emotional, mental… and <i>all</i> that exists is part of the whole.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Take 5-minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, to get quiet and be with yourself (your intuitive/feeling Self). What might become possible if you gave this to your body and mind on a regular basis?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What might a healthy connection with the energetic world feel like? What if I were 5% more interested in my inner world? What if I simply embraced whatever I discovered there? Could I simply allow what \"is\" to \"just be\", just for this very moment?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We are invited to take actions that are aligned with intuition, and communicate our boundaries... perhaps even remove ourselves from situations, when that is the loving thing to do.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>In other words: we move with \"all is well\", no matter what the appearance or view looks like, out there in the world. We trust our inner senses. This is something we need to relearn; we are so conditioned to focus on the outside world for answers, to look to our mind-chatter for answers, or to close off and protect ourselves. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What results might I get if I tapped into inner courage, inner sensing/intuition, and the power of compassion... all at the same time?</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><span class=\"im\">Again, feel free to also watch my New Moon video on the subject: <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">youtube.//...</span></span></div>\r\n<div>\r\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\r\n<div class=\"gmail_default\">\r\n<div class=\"yj6qo ajU\">\r\n<div id=\":7xx\" class=\"ajR\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Hide expanded content\" data-tooltip=\"Hide expanded content\"><img class=\"ajT\" src=\"https://ssl.gstatic.com/ui/v1/icons/mail/images/cleardot.gif\" /></div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div class=\"adL\">\r\n<div><i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in one of the following placements: 25-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>?

I will be posting reminders on Saturday afternoon, Sunday throughout the day, and Monday morning to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nPart of the reason for this is that on<strong> Saturday at 9:12am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 5.5 hours, <strong>until 2:57pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to go within and meditate or pray/give thanks/converse with your higher Self.\r\n\r\nThis will support us in feeling connected to our inner Universe -- and of course, it will be a tremendous help in healing our emotional wounds. Finally, as always during VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday morning and afternoon ahead of time.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<strong>Saturday at 12:40pm EDT,</strong> <i>Mars changes signs </i><i>from optimistic, adventurous</i><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> to realistic, prestige-and-accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until May 16th</strong>. For those 8.5 weeks, we tend to feel more determined, goal-oriented and focused. We are not afraid to work hard on attainable goals so that we can see tangible results.\r\n\r\nOur drive to succeed is quite strong, especially when we feel a need for physical and material security — that is, in the realm of all that can be seen and held. Our self-control tends to be quite strong around the expression of \"drives\" -- things like anger, energy, ambition, and sexuality -- in fact, with Mars in Capricorn we are at our least impulsive, with a powerful need to stay in control.\r\n\r\nBecause we have such a strong sense of responsibility, we need to be careful not to start using work to hide from others. Anger can easily get channeled into our work as well. As best as you can, be kind to yourself, remember we all do the best we can; there is no need for extra pressure.\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more focused and determent. You may want to get down to business. If you are a </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 8.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 2:57pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><b><i>,</i></b> where it will journey <b><strong>until Monday evening</strong></b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday after 2:57pm EDT, </b>it\'s time to start setting your Intentions of this Moon cycle.<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here</a><i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 18th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries </i>all day</b> (see Saturday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday night/Sunday very early morning</b> <i>Mercury starts its station-phase</i>. From<b> today on, </b>right through<b> March 29th.</b> <i>Mercury slows down tremendously</i><i>,</i> as it prepares to come to a halt before turning retrograde on March 22nd. During the station, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments during the retrograde -- or the shadow phase that follows.\r\n\r\nFor the next 12 days, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait until after May 3rd, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 14-19 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></i><b><i>, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday evening,</strong> <em>a Sun/Chiron alignment in 28 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:15pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Wednesday evening (March 21st). </strong>This gives us an opportunity to heal insecurities or shame through conscious awareness.\r\n\r\nBecoming aware of old wounds or limitations is the first step toward healing them. Bringing compassion, self-acceptance, and love to it is the second. Together, steps one and two make for a beautiful healing experience.\r\n\r\nIt will help to stay grounded — connected to the Earth and your body. If waves of feeling come up, let them, simply observe the waves. Ask yourself: Am I the \"wave\" or am I more than that? As best as you can, allow all \"waves\" to wash ashore, and allow yourself to rest as the vastness that you are (just like the ocean is to the waves).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 25-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of <strong>Aries, Libra, Cancer</strong> or <strong>Capricorn</strong></i><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso, <b>Sunday all day: </b>If you haven\'t gotten around to it yet,<i> </i><i>set your Intentions</i> for this Moon cycle...

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\n\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\n\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\n\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\n\n<strong>Monday at 11:36am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 6:44pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\n\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan all of Monday afternoon and early evening ahead of time\n\n<strong>Monday at 6:44pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Thursday morning</strong><b>.</b> The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\n\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\n\n<strong>Tuesday (March 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius </i>all day </b>(see Monday evening for details).\n\n<strong>Tuesday morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Venus/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 8:39am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. </strong>This aspect<b> </b>asks us to stretch and grow beyond how we\'ve known ourselves in our relationships up to this point -- a process of maturing that requires we adjust and stay flexible.\n\nOn the one hand, we want to make new and passionate connections while enthusiastically engaging with life; on the other hand, we feel a sharp need to focus on what we want to manifest long-term -- what works, what doesn\'t, what are our resources to make it happen, how can we move from A to B without missing anything essential -- in short, to determine what\'s real and can provide us with the best foundation for the next step. Do your best to make space for both of these urges.\n\nWe tend to be more cautious when it comes to relationships and finances now -- and in fact, this is not the best time to start a brand-new romantic relationship. Financially though, this aspect can be eye-opening; if we can find creative ways to deal with money, we will grow from it.\n\nThe key is to approach things in both realms with enthusiasm and maturity. Pushing will most likely not get us what we want: better to go one step at a time, slow and steady; that way, we can come back later with a stronger approach and more mature expectations.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><i> 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).</i>\n\n<strong>Tuesday late afternoon,</strong> <em>a harmonious Sun/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 4:06pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Friday. </strong>It’s an opportunity to see things from a different perspective. What will lead us to this new vantage point?\n\nOptimism, an open mind, an open heart: Follow your enthusiasm as if it were a wilderness guide — and let yourself be creative and free, especially with or around other people.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\n\n<strong>Tuesday evening: </strong><i>the</i> <i>Balsamic Moon phase begins </i>when the Moon reaches 12º of <b>Aquarius. </b>This lasts <b>until Saturday morning</b>, when the New Moon in <b>Pisces </b>becomes exact (more on that later...however, <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/New+Moon.aspx\">feel free to watch my video on the subject</a> -- will be posted by Monday, March 11th).\n\nWe are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our inner sensing/intuition. For some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes.\n\nThis is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?<i> </i>\n\n<strong>Wednesday (March 14th): <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b></strong><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\n\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Mars/Chiron aspect </em>becomes exact at 2:10am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Thursday night (March 8th) on; it will remain strong until next week Monday (March 19th). </strong>This aspect challenges us to see our own attachments and aversions as a normal, perhaps even valid, part of being human. That way, should we choose to express desire or anger (or even contempt or disgust), such expressions will feel natural and organic, rather than something that provokes shame.\n\nWe may experience situations that call forth our initiative and independence -- but may not feel confident that we can rise to the challenge, let alone follow through. As best as you can, when the challenge comes: Get into action, feel the excitement that comes with stepping out of the familiar. Ask yourself: What would my hero do?\n\n<i>Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 25-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or 0-1 degree of <strong>Capricorn, Aries, Cancer,</strong> or <strong>Libra</strong></i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\"> </b><i>will feel most affected by this aspect.</i>\n\n<strong>Thursday (March 15th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><strong> until 6:12am EDT</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\n\n<strong>Thursday at 3:32am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 2.5 hours, <strong>until 6:12am EDT</strong>. If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it as an opportunity to explore larger truths and your own life further.\n\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday early morning ahead of time\n\n<strong>Thursday at 6:12am EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><b><i>, </i></b>where it will journey <strong>until Saturday afternoon</strong>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\n\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\n\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.<b> </b>\n\n<strong>Friday: </strong><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday morning for details).\n\n<b>Friday late morning,</b> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours.\n\n<b>Friday, late in the evening, </b>we have the opportunity to be guided by inspiration, and fully commit to a project or task that might serve us long-term. As best as you can, listen and trust to the subtle messages in your heart, that stir you towards success.\n\n<strong>Saturday (March 17th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><strong> until 2:57pm EDT</strong> (see Thursday morning for details).\n\n<strong>Saturday at 9:11am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon will align with the Sun in almost 27 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong></em>; this marks the beginning of a new Moon cycle. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">Feel free to watch my New Moon video on the subject </a>\n\n<strong>Pisces</strong> is the last sign of the zodiac. It connects us to our spiritual journey, as it represents a reunion with Source/God/the Universe. When at its highest vibration, <strong>Pisces</strong> unifies all dualities -- it is completely aware of the oneness of all. It tells us there is a union within, that exists always, and we can tap into it.\n\n<strong>Pisces</strong> is accepting and aware of its eternal nature. It lovingly allows all, because it knows that there is no real separation between things, that separation only exists in the mind.\n\nAt it\'s lowest vibration however, <strong>Pisces</strong> feels separate, fearful, and victimized. It wants to escape the harsh physical realities of this world. We get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not go within to connect with our inner divinity, when we do not trust ourselves, our inner processes and intuitive Selves.\n\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What stops me from connecting to my inner divinity? What if I opened to the perfection of life? What if I trusted to universal timing? Might plenty of down-time and rest actually support my reconnection with Source-energy or my intuitive Self?\n\n<em>This New Moon aligns with Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong></em>: this amplifies the message to be conscious of our intuitive/spiritual healing journey -- individually and collectively ;-) We are being invited to forgive our own \"humanness\" and open our hearts. Suppressing or denying our feelings and intuitive gifts is even less recommended now.\n\nThere is no shame in feeling things, in being sensitive, in being imaginative and kind -- not just with the people we love but publicly as well. We are invited to shift our perspective about \"feelings\" and \"being sensitive\", from perceiving it as weakness, to allowing it to be our strength, our gift.\n\nWe are invited to embrace all of who we are (including our emotional body), if we are to fully function in this world -- and if we are to create a world that supports all living things equally.\n\n<em>Chiron will be moving into <strong>Aries</strong> in April</em>, so as best as you can, think back over the last 7 years (while Chiron has been in <strong>Pisces</strong>); <strong>ask yourself</strong>: In what ways have I been able to heal my relationship to the divine? Am I more in touch with my own intuition now vs, then (2011)? What sensitivities or limitations have come up around the feeling-body? What still needs my love, understanding and compassion in those areas of my life?\n\nIf we can shift our perspective from \"failure and blame\" to \"growth and learning\", we have an opportunity here to take a quantum leap forward in our individual and collective evolution. If a mere 5% of us went through a transformation, imagine what that would trigger for all.\n\n<strong>Ask yourself</strong>: Am I going to be one of the 5%? What might shift if I allowed myself to flow with the energetic stream rather than struggle against it? What might be possible if I gave my body and mind the opportunity to slow down, perhaps even get completely quiet at least 5 minutes every day?\n\n<em>Venus, Mercury and Uranus are all in <strong>Aries</strong></em> at the time of this New Moon. This brings another dimension to the New Moon chart: an action-oriented and direct approach that supports our inner courage.\n\n<em>Mercury is stationing, preparing to go retrograde on March 22nd</em> (at 17 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong>), and is thus exalted.\n\nThis brings awareness to our day to day thinking, and how we process and share information; we are more impulsive and quick-minded, and may communicate from a place of passion and courage, or anger. We are also more aware of our own inner dialog and how assertive or aggressive it is.\n\nPay attention to what\'s \"in your face\" right now. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What\'s important to me? Where do I over-think? Where do I act (or react) without thinking? What are my physical and mental impulses telling me? What role does \"passion\" or \"courage\" play in all of this?\n\nWe also covered this in our last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the <strong>Mercury Station and Retrograde</strong> is going to impact you personally, feel free to watch the mp4 video-presentation of our last Forum -- we applied what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/jupiters-optimism-mercurys-mental-dance-from-within/\">Here is an excerpt from the webinar. </a>For the full 90+ min. webinars <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a> (available for purchase until March 30th)\n\n<em>The Mercury Station and Retrograde</em> invite us to go beyond the conditioning of our mind, our stories, and our script, and to release what is no longer in alignment with our personal goals, our passions, our \"true\" Selves.\n\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What if I tapped into my inner courage? What if I communicated honestly, was fearless, was without apologies? What if I gave myself permission to start fresh? Every day, every moment?\n\n<em>Mars in <strong>Sagittarius</strong> squares the New Moon and Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong></em>. This might create some restlessness and uneasiness in regards to our healing journey this month. We may feel we are falling behind, become impatient -- easily annoyed, or simply angry at not being where we\'d like to be. We may want to move faster than our emotional/intuitive body is asking us to go at this time -- individually and collectively speaking.\n\n<strong>Ask yourself here</strong>: Am I using my warrior energy to defend my belief systems and view about life, or to explore larger truths? Am I asserting myself so I can walk my own talk, or using my anger to dominate and separate myself further from others?\n\nIs \"knowingness\" a way to make myself feel better about who I am (i.e. to feel superior), or a compass I can use to explore my life further? Are there any beliefs I hold dear that have limited my connection to Source/intuition? What might be possible if I applied a new approach and brought open-heartedness to those scripts?\n\nWe may feel triggered by others and may well trigger them. Some of that may feel connected to the past -- something in our history with someone else might be the trigger in question.\n\nWhen this happens, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> Is this somehow familiar? Is it possible it\'s historical? What does it remind me of? Am I attached to being \"right\" here? Could I welcome wanting approval, safety or control? What if opening my heart created space for all truths to co-exist side by side? No need for conflict, or right, or wrong... simply a space for all of it to be part of the larger sea of life. What might be possible if compassion were the warrior-energy of our heart?\n\n<em>Mars moves into <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact; it will play a major role for the rest of March and April. If you want to know how all of this is going to impact you personally, feel free to join the next Forecasting Forum -- we will go into Mars\'s involvement with Saturn, and with Pluto\'s Station and Retrograde phases in more detail -- and apply that insight to our own birth charts.\n\nThe next Forum will be on <strong>Monday, April 2nd, 2018 at</strong> 10am PST/ <strong>1pm EDT</strong>/6pm BST (London-time). <strong>For more info or to register at the regular fee,</strong> <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">click here</a>. <strong>To join for FREE</strong>, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/JLFckh\">become a Star or SuperStar Member</a> on my site\n\n<em>Neptune, the ruler of <strong>Pisces</strong>,</em> is currently in its own sign and brings a very clear message to this New Moon: for the next 28 days, as best as you can, unplug and listen deeply to your heart and soul. Allow for all feelings to flow; allow for yourself to be with what is.\n\nTap into the divinity within through any, some, or all of the following: meditation; being in nature; music; dance; energy healing; dream work; creative writing; art; being with your intuition. In the silence we feel the oneness with all there is, we feel the unconditional love the Universe provides.\n\n<em>Since 2011, when Neptune and Chiron moved into <strong>Pisces</strong></em>, we have been becoming more and more aware that we are One. Everything is energy, everything is connected and everything is in a continuous flow/movement. Each of us is like a drop of water, appearing to be individual, yet also a part of the big ocean of life. We are the sum of all parts: physical, spiritual, emotional, mental… and all that exists is part of the whole.\n\nTake 5-minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, to get quiet and be with yourself (your intuitive/feeling Self). What might become possible if you gave this to your body and mind on a regular basis?\n\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What might a healthy connection with the energetic world feel like? What if I were 5% more interested in my inner world? What if I simply embraced whatever I discovered there? Could I simply allow what \"is\" to \"just be\", just for this very moment?\n\nWe are invited to take actions that are aligned with intuition, and communicate our boundaries... perhaps even remove ourselves from situations, when that is the loving thing to do.\n\nIn other words: we move with \"all is well\", no matter what the appearance or view looks like, out there in the world. We trust our inner senses. This is something we need to relearn; we are so conditioned to focus on the outside world for answers, to look to our mind-chatter for answers, or to close off and protect ourselves. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What results might I get if I tapped into inner courage, inner sensing/intuition, and the power of compassion... all at the same time?\n\nAgain, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">feel free to watch my video on the subject .</a>\n\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in one of the following placements: 25-29 degrees of <strong>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </strong>or<strong> Sagittarius</strong>? If so, you may feel the effects of this extra-powerful New Moon more strongly for the next 6 months. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in <strong>Leo </strong>or<strong> Cancer</strong> (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</em>\n\nThe New Moon is also the best time to <i>set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle</i>. Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <strong><i>not</i> </strong>during a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions</i> would be <b>between 2:47pm EDT today (March 17th) and 9:11am EDT Monday morning (March 19th).</b>\n\nIf you live in a timezone other than EDT (US East Coast-time), feel free to join my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> <i>or</i> follow me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders on Saturday afternoon, Sunday throughout the day, and Monday morning to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\n\nPart of the reason for this is that on<strong> Saturday at 9:12am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 5.5 hours, <strong>until 2:57pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to go within and meditate or pray/give thanks/converse with your higher Self.\n\nThis will support us in feeling connected to our inner Universe -- and of course, it will be a tremendous help in healing our emotional wounds. Finally, as always during VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday morning and afternoon ahead of time.\n\n<strong>Saturday at 12:40pm EDT,</strong> <i>Mars changes signs </i><i>from optimistic, adventurous</i><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> to realistic, prestige-and-accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until May 16th</strong>. For those 8.5 weeks, we tend to feel more determined, goal-oriented and focused. We are not afraid to work hard on attainable goals so that we can see tangible results.\n\nOur drive to succeed is quite strong, especially when we feel a need for physical and material security — that is, in the realm of all that can be seen and held. Our self-control tends to be quite strong around the expression of \"drives\" -- things like anger, energy, ambition, and sexuality -- in fact, with Mars in Capricorn we are at our least impulsive, with a powerful need to stay in control.\n\nBecause we have such a strong sense of responsibility, we need to be careful not to start using work to hide from others. Anger can easily get channeled into our work as well. As best as you can, be kind to yourself, remember we all do the best we can; there is no need for extra pressure.\n\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more focused and determent. You may want to get down to business. If you are a </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 8.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\n\n<strong>Saturday at 2:57pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><b><i>,</i></b> where it will journey <b><strong>until Monday evening</strong></b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\n\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<strong> </strong>\n\n<b>Saturday after 2:57pm EDT, </b>it\'s time to start setting your Intentions of this Moon cycle.<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here</a><i></i>\n\n<strong>Sunday (March 18th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries </i>all day</b> (see Saturday afternoon for details).\n\n<b>Saturday night/Sunday very early morning</b> <i>Mercury starts its station-phase</i>. From<b> today on, </b>right through<b> March 29th.</b> <i>Mercury slows down tremendously</i><i>,</i> as it prepares to come to a halt before turning retrograde on March 22nd. During the station, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\n\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments during the retrograde -- or the shadow phase that follows.\n\nFor the next 12 days, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\n\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait until after May 3rd, when the shadow phase is over.\n\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 14-19 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></i><b><i>, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\n\n<strong>Sunday evening,</strong> <em>a Sun/Chiron alignment in 28 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:15pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Wednesday evening (March 21st). </strong>This gives us an opportunity to heal insecurities or shame through conscious awareness.\n\nBecoming aware of old wounds or limitations is the first step toward healing them. Bringing compassion, self-acceptance, and love to it is the second. Together, steps one and two make for a beautiful healing experience.\n\nIt will help to stay grounded — connected to the Earth and your body. If waves of feeling come up, let them, simply observe the waves. Ask yourself: Am I the \"wave\" or am I more than that? As best as you can, allow all \"waves\" to wash ashore, and allow yourself to rest as the vastness that you are (just like the ocean is to the waves).\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 25-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of <strong>Aries, Libra, Cancer</strong> or <strong>Capricorn</strong></i><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo)</i>\n\nAlso, <b>Sunday all day: </b>If you haven\'t gotten around to it yet,<i> </i><i>set your Intentions</i> for this Moon cycle... If possible, align them with the New Moon energies that I spoke about in my last video — feel free to watch it again if you are not sure anymore — click here to watch my video on the New Moon: https://youtu.be/  ;-)\n\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here</a>\n\n<strong>A heads-up for next Monday (March 19th)</strong>: <em>t<i>he Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries</i></b></em><strong> until 9:07pm EDT</strong> (see Saturday afternoon for details). <strong>Monday at 3:29pm EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 5.5 hours, <strong>until 9:07pm EDT</strong>. <b>At that time</b>, <em>the Moon moves into <strong>Taurus</strong></em><strong>, </strong>where it will journey<strong> until Thursday very early morning.

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 11:36am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 6:44pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan all of Monday afternoon and early evening ahead of time\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 6:44pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Thursday morning</strong><b>.</b> The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius </i>all day </b>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Venus/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 8:39am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. </strong>This aspect<b> </b>asks us to stretch and grow beyond how we\'ve known ourselves in our relationships up to this point -- a process of maturing that requires we adjust and stay flexible.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, we want to make new and passionate connections while enthusiastically engaging with life; on the other hand, we feel a sharp need to focus on what we want to manifest long-term -- what works, what doesn\'t, what are our resources to make it happen, how can we move from A to B without missing anything essential -- in short, to determine what\'s real and can provide us with the best foundation for the next step. Do your best to make space for both of these urges.\r\n\r\nWe tend to be more cautious when it comes to relationships and finances now -- and in fact, this is not the best time to start a brand-new romantic relationship. Financially though, this aspect can be eye-opening; if we can find creative ways to deal with money, we will grow from it.\r\n\r\nThe key is to approach things in both realms with enthusiasm and maturity. Pushing will most likely not get us what we want: better to go one step at a time, slow and steady; that way, we can come back later with a stronger approach and more mature expectations.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><i> 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late afternoon,</strong> <em>a harmonious Sun/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 4:06pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Friday. </strong>It’s an opportunity to see things from a different perspective. What will lead us to this new vantage point?\r\n\r\nOptimism, an open mind, an open heart: Follow your enthusiasm as if it were a wilderness guide — and let yourself be creative and free, especially with or around other people.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday evening: </strong><i>the</i> <i>Balsamic Moon phase begins </i>when the Moon reaches 12º of <b>Aquarius. </b>This lasts <b>until Saturday morning</b>, when the New Moon in <b>Pisces </b>becomes exact (more on that later...however, <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/New+Moon.aspx\">feel free to watch my video on the subject</a> -- will be posted by Monday, March 11th).\r\n\r\nWe are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our inner sensing/intuition. For some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes.\r\n\r\nThis is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?<i> </i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 14th): <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b></strong><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Mars/Chiron aspect </em>becomes exact at 2:10am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Thursday night (March 8th) on; it will remain strong until next week Monday (March 19th). </strong>This aspect challenges us to see our own attachments and aversions as a normal, perhaps even valid, part of being human. That way, should we choose to express desire or anger (or even contempt or disgust), such expressions will feel natural and organic, rather than something that provokes shame.\r\n\r\nWe may experience situations that call forth our initiative and independence -- but may not feel confident that we can rise to the challenge, let alone follow through. As best as you can, when the challenge comes: Get into action, feel the excitement that comes with stepping out of the familiar. Ask yourself: What would my hero do?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 25-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or 0-1 degree of <strong>Capricorn, Aries, Cancer,</strong> or <strong>Libra</strong></i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\"> </b><i>will feel most affected by this aspect.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 15th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><strong> until 6:12am EDT</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 3:32am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 2.5 hours, <strong>until 6:12am EDT</strong>. If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it as an opportunity to explore larger truths and your own life further.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday early morning ahead of time\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 6:12am EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><b><i>, </i></b>where it will journey <strong>until Saturday afternoon</strong>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.<b> </b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday: </strong><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Friday late morning,</b> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours.\r\n\r\n<b>Friday, late in the evening, </b>we have the opportunity to be guided by inspiration, and fully commit to a project or task that might serve us long-term. As best as you can, listen and trust to the subtle messages in your heart, that stir you towards success.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 17th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><strong> until 2:57pm EDT</strong> (see Thursday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 9:11am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon will align with the Sun in almost 27 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong></em>; this marks the beginning of a new Moon cycle. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">Feel free to watch my New Moon video on the subject </a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Pisces</strong> is the last sign of the zodiac. It connects us to our spiritual journey, as it represents a reunion with Source/God/the Universe. When at its highest vibration, <strong>Pisces</strong> unifies all dualities -- it is completely aware of the oneness of all. It tells us there is a union within, that exists always, and we can tap into it.\r\n\r\n<strong>Pisces</strong> is accepting and aware of its eternal nature. It lovingly allows all, because it knows that there is no real separation between things, that separation only exists in the mind.\r\n\r\nAt it\'s lowest vibration however, <strong>Pisces</strong> feels separate, fearful, and victimized. It wants to escape the harsh physical realities of this world. We get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not go within to connect with our inner divinity, when we do not trust ourselves, our inner processes and intuitive Selves.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What stops me from connecting to my inner divinity? What if I opened to the perfection of life? What if I trusted to universal timing? Might plenty of down-time and rest actually support my reconnection with Source-energy or my intuitive Self?\r\n\r\n<em>This New Moon aligns with Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong></em>: this amplifies the message to be conscious of our intuitive/spiritual healing journey -- individually and collectively ;-) We are being invited to forgive our own \"humanness\" and open our hearts. Suppressing or denying our feelings and intuitive gifts is even less recommended now.\r\n\r\nThere is no shame in feeling things, in being sensitive, in being imaginative and kind -- not just with the people we love but publicly as well. We are invited to shift our perspective about \"feelings\" and \"being sensitive\", from perceiving it as weakness, to allowing it to be our strength, our gift.\r\n\r\nWe are invited to embrace all of who we are (including our emotional body), if we are to fully function in this world -- and if we are to create a world that supports all living things equally.\r\n\r\n<em>Chiron will be moving into <strong>Aries</strong> in April</em>, so as best as you can, think back over the last 7 years (while Chiron has been in <strong>Pisces</strong>); <strong>ask yourself</strong>: In what ways have I been able to heal my relationship to the divine? Am I more in touch with my own intuition now vs, then (2011)? What sensitivities or limitations have come up around the feeling-body? What still needs my love, understanding and compassion in those areas of my life?\r\n\r\nIf we can shift our perspective from \"failure and blame\" to \"growth and learning\", we have an opportunity here to take a quantum leap forward in our individual and collective evolution. If a mere 5% of us went through a transformation, imagine what that would trigger for all.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself</strong>: Am I going to be one of the 5%? What might shift if I allowed myself to flow with the energetic stream rather than struggle against it? What might be possible if I gave my body and mind the opportunity to slow down, perhaps even get completely quiet at least 5 minutes every day?\r\n\r\n<em>Venus, Mercury and Uranus are all in <strong>Aries</strong></em> at the time of this New Moon. This brings another dimension to the New Moon chart: an action-oriented and direct approach that supports our inner courage.\r\n\r\n<em>Mercury is stationing, preparing to go retrograde on March 22nd</em> (at 17 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong>), and is thus exalted.\r\n\r\nThis brings awareness to our day to day thinking, and how we process and share information; we are more impulsive and quick-minded, and may communicate from a place of passion and courage, or anger. We are also more aware of our own inner dialog and how assertive or aggressive it is.\r\n\r\nPay attention to what\'s \"in your face\" right now. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What\'s important to me? Where do I over-think? Where do I act (or react) without thinking? What are my physical and mental impulses telling me? What role does \"passion\" or \"courage\" play in all of this?\r\n\r\nWe also covered this in our last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the <strong>Mercury Station and Retrograde</strong> is going to impact you personally, feel free to watch the mp4 video-presentation of our last Forum -- we applied what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/jupiters-optimism-mercurys-mental-dance-from-within/\">Here is an excerpt from the webinar. </a>For the full 90+ min. webinars <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a> (available for purchase until March 30th)\r\n\r\n<em>The Mercury Station and Retrograde</em> invite us to go beyond the conditioning of our mind, our stories, and our script, and to release what is no longer in alignment with our personal goals, our passions, our \"true\" Selves.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What if I tapped into my inner courage? What if I communicated honestly, was fearless, was without apologies? What if I gave myself permission to start fresh? Every day, every moment?\r\n\r\n<em>Mars in <strong>Sagittarius</strong> squares the New Moon and Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong></em>. This might create some restlessness and uneasiness in regards to our healing journey this month. We may feel we are falling behind, become impatient -- easily annoyed, or simply angry at not being where we\'d like to be. We may want to move faster than our emotional/intuitive body is asking us to go at this time -- individually and collectively speaking.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself here</strong>: Am I using my warrior energy to defend my belief systems and view about life, or to explore larger truths? Am I asserting myself so I can walk my own talk, or using my anger to dominate and separate myself further from others?\r\n\r\nIs \"knowingness\" a way to make myself feel better about who I am (i.e. to feel superior), or a compass I can use to explore my life further? Are there any beliefs I hold dear that have limited my connection to Source/intuition? What might be possible if I applied a new approach and brought open-heartedness to those scripts?\r\n\r\nWe may feel triggered by others and may well trigger them. Some of that may feel connected to the past -- something in our history with someone else might be the trigger in question.\r\n\r\nWhen this happens, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> Is this somehow familiar? Is it possible it\'s historical? What does it remind me of? Am I attached to being \"right\" here? Could I welcome wanting approval, safety or control? What if opening my heart created space for all truths to co-exist side by side? No need for conflict, or right, or wrong... simply a space for all of it to be part of the larger sea of life. What might be possible if compassion were the warrior-energy of our heart?\r\n\r\n<em>Mars moves into <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact; it will play a major role for the rest of March and April. If you want to know how all of this is going to impact you personally, feel free to join the next Forecasting Forum -- we will go into Mars\'s involvement with Saturn, and with Pluto\'s Station and Retrograde phases in more detail -- and apply that insight to our own birth charts.\r\n\r\nThe next Forum will be on <strong>Monday, April 2nd, 2018 at</strong> 10am PST/ <strong>1pm EDT</strong>/6pm BST (London-time). <strong>For more info or to register at the regular fee,</strong> <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">click here</a>. <strong>To join for FREE</strong>, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/JLFckh\">become a Star or SuperStar Member</a> on my site\r\n\r\n<em>Neptune, the ruler of <strong>Pisces</strong>,</em> is currently in its own sign and brings a very clear message to this New Moon: for the next 28 days, as best as you can, unplug and listen deeply to your heart and soul. Allow for all feelings to flow; allow for yourself to be with what is.\r\n\r\nTap into the divinity within through any, some, or all of the following: meditation; being in nature; music; dance; energy healing; dream work; creative writing; art; being with your intuition. In the silence we feel the oneness with all there is, we feel the unconditional love the Universe provides.\r\n\r\n<em>Since 2011, when Neptune and Chiron moved into <strong>Pisces</strong></em>, we have been becoming more and more aware that we are One. Everything is energy, everything is connected and everything is in a continuous flow/movement. Each of us is like a drop of water, appearing to be individual, yet also a part of the big ocean of life. We are the sum of all parts: physical, spiritual, emotional, mental… and all that exists is part of the whole.\r\n\r\nTake 5-minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, to get quiet and be with yourself (your intuitive/feeling Self). What might become possible if you gave this to your body and mind on a regular basis?\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What might a healthy connection with the energetic world feel like? What if I were 5% more interested in my inner world? What if I simply embraced whatever I discovered there? Could I simply allow what \"is\" to \"just be\", just for this very moment?\r\n\r\nWe are invited to take actions that are aligned with intuition, and communicate our boundaries... perhaps even remove ourselves from situations, when that is the loving thing to do.\r\n\r\nIn other words: we move with \"all is well\", no matter what the appearance or view looks like, out there in the world. We trust our inner senses. This is something we need to relearn; we are so conditioned to focus on the outside world for answers, to look to our mind-chatter for answers, or to close off and protect ourselves. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What results might I get if I tapped into inner courage, inner sensing/intuition, and the power of compassion... all at the same time?\r\n\r\nAgain, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">feel free to watch my video on the subject .</a>\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in one of the following placements: 25-29 degrees of <strong>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </strong>or<strong> Sagittarius</strong>? If so, you may feel the effects of this extra-powerful New Moon more strongly for the next 6 months. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in <strong>Leo </strong>or<strong> Cancer</strong> (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</em>\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to <i>set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle</i>. Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <strong><i>not</i> </strong>during a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions</i> would be <b>between 2:47pm EDT today (March 17th) and 9:11am EDT Monday morning (March 19th).</b>\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EDT (US East Coast-time), feel free to join my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> <i>or</i> follow me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders on Saturday afternoon, Sunday throughout the day, and Monday morning to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nPart of the reason for this is that on<strong> Saturday at 9:12am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 5.5 hours, <strong>until 2:57pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to go within and meditate or pray/give thanks/converse with your higher Self.\r\n\r\nThis will support us in feeling connected to our inner Universe -- and of course, it will be a tremendous help in healing our emotional wounds. Finally, as always during VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday morning and afternoon ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 12:40pm EDT,</strong> <i>Mars changes signs </i><i>from optimistic, adventurous</i><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> to realistic, prestige-and-accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until May 16th</strong>. For those 8.5 weeks, we tend to feel more determined, goal-oriented and focused. We are not afraid to work hard on attainable goals so that we can see tangible results.\r\n\r\nOur drive to succeed is quite strong, especially when we feel a need for physical and material security — that is, in the realm of all that can be seen and held. Our self-control tends to be quite strong around the expression of \"drives\" -- things like anger, energy, ambition, and sexuality -- in fact, with Mars in Capricorn we are at our least impulsive, with a powerful need to stay in control.\r\n\r\nBecause we have such a strong sense of responsibility, we need to be careful not to start using work to hide from others. Anger can easily get channeled into our work as well. As best as you can, be kind to yourself, remember we all do the best we can; there is no need for extra pressure.\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more focused and determent. You may want to get down to business. If you are a </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 8.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 2:57pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><b><i>,</i></b> where it will journey <b><strong>until Monday evening</strong></b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday after 2:57pm EDT, </b>it\'s time to start setting your Intentions of this Moon cycle.<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here</a><i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 18th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries </i>all day</b> (see Saturday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday night/Sunday very early morning</b> <i>Mercury starts its station-phase</i>. From<b> today on, </b>right through<b> March 29th.</b> <i>Mercury slows down tremendously</i><i>,</i> as it prepares to come to a halt before turning retrograde on March 22nd. During the station, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments during the retrograde -- or the shadow phase that follows.\r\n\r\nFor the next 12 days, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait until after May 3rd, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 14-19 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></i><b><i>, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday evening,</strong> <em>a Sun/Chiron alignment in 28 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:15pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Wednesday evening (March 21st). </strong>This gives us an opportunity to heal insecurities or shame through conscious awareness.\r\n\r\nBecoming aware of old wounds or limitations is the first step toward healing them. Bringing compassion, self-acceptance, and love to it is the second. Together, steps one and two make for a beautiful healing experience.\r\n\r\nIt will help to stay grounded — connected to the Earth and your body. If waves of feeling come up, let them, simply observe the waves. Ask yourself: Am I the \"wave\" or am I more than that? As best as you can, allow all \"waves\" to wash ashore, and allow yourself to rest as the vastness that you are (just like the ocean is to the waves).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 25-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of <strong>Aries, Libra, Cancer</strong> or <strong>Capricorn</strong></i><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso, <b>Sunday all day: </b>If you haven\'t gotten around to it yet,<i> </i><i>set your Intentions</i> for this Moon cycle...

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 11:36am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 6:44pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan all of Monday afternoon and early evening ahead of time\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 6:44pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Thursday morning</strong><b>.</b> The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius </i>all day </b>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Venus/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 8:39am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. </strong>This aspect<b> </b>asks us to stretch and grow beyond how we\'ve known ourselves in our relationships up to this point -- a process of maturing that requires we adjust and stay flexible.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, we want to make new and passionate connections while enthusiastically engaging with life; on the other hand, we feel a sharp need to focus on what we want to manifest long-term -- what works, what doesn\'t, what are our resources to make it happen, how can we move from A to B without missing anything essential -- in short, to determine what\'s real and can provide us with the best foundation for the next step. Do your best to make space for both of these urges.\r\n\r\nWe tend to be more cautious when it comes to relationships and finances now -- and in fact, this is not the best time to start a brand-new romantic relationship. Financially though, this aspect can be eye-opening; if we can find creative ways to deal with money, we will grow from it.\r\n\r\nThe key is to approach things in both realms with enthusiasm and maturity. Pushing will most likely not get us what we want: better to go one step at a time, slow and steady; that way, we can come back later with a stronger approach and more mature expectations.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><i> 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late afternoon,</strong> <em>a harmonious Sun/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 4:06pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Friday. </strong>It’s an opportunity to see things from a different perspective. What will lead us to this new vantage point?\r\n\r\nOptimism, an open mind, an open heart: Follow your enthusiasm as if it were a wilderness guide — and let yourself be creative and free, especially with or around other people.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday evening: </strong><i>the</i> <i>Balsamic Moon phase begins </i>when the Moon reaches 12º of <b>Aquarius. </b>This lasts <b>until Saturday morning</b>, when the New Moon in <b>Pisces </b>becomes exact (more on that later...however, <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/New+Moon.aspx\">feel free to watch my video on the subject</a> -- will be posted by Monday, March 11th).\r\n\r\nWe are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our inner sensing/intuition. For some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes.\r\n\r\nThis is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?<i> </i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 14th): <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b></strong><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Mars/Chiron aspect </em>becomes exact at 2:10am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Thursday night (March 8th) on; it will remain strong until next week Monday (March 19th). </strong>This aspect challenges us to see our own attachments and aversions as a normal, perhaps even valid, part of being human. That way, should we choose to express desire or anger (or even contempt or disgust), such expressions will feel natural and organic, rather than something that provokes shame.\r\n\r\nWe may experience situations that call forth our initiative and independence -- but may not feel confident that we can rise to the challenge, let alone follow through. As best as you can, when the challenge comes: Get into action, feel the excitement that comes with stepping out of the familiar. Ask yourself: What would my hero do?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 25-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or 0-1 degree of <strong>Capricorn, Aries, Cancer,</strong> or <strong>Libra</strong></i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\"> </b><i>will feel most affected by this aspect.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 15th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><strong> until 6:12am EDT</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 3:32am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 2.5 hours, <strong>until 6:12am EDT</strong>. If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it as an opportunity to explore larger truths and your own life further.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday early morning ahead of time\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 6:12am EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><b><i>, </i></b>where it will journey <strong>until Saturday afternoon</strong>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.<b> </b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday: </strong><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Friday late morning,</b> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours.\r\n\r\n<b>Friday, late in the evening, </b>we have the opportunity to be guided by inspiration, and fully commit to a project or task that might serve us long-term. As best as you can, listen and trust to the subtle messages in your heart, that stir you towards success.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 17th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><strong> until 2:57pm EDT</strong> (see Thursday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 9:11am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon will align with the Sun in almost 27 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong></em>; this marks the beginning of a new Moon cycle. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">Feel free to watch my New Moon video on the subject </a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Pisces</strong> is the last sign of the zodiac. It connects us to our spiritual journey, as it represents a reunion with Source/God/the Universe. When at its highest vibration, <strong>Pisces</strong> unifies all dualities -- it is completely aware of the oneness of all. It tells us there is a union within, that exists always, and we can tap into it.\r\n\r\n<strong>Pisces</strong> is accepting and aware of its eternal nature. It lovingly allows all, because it knows that there is no real separation between things, that separation only exists in the mind.\r\n\r\nAt it\'s lowest vibration however, <strong>Pisces</strong> feels separate, fearful, and victimized. It wants to escape the harsh physical realities of this world. We get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not go within to connect with our inner divinity, when we do not trust ourselves, our inner processes and intuitive Selves.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What stops me from connecting to my inner divinity? What if I opened to the perfection of life? What if I trusted to universal timing? Might plenty of down-time and rest actually support my reconnection with Source-energy or my intuitive Self?\r\n\r\n<em>This New Moon aligns with Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong></em>: this amplifies the message to be conscious of our intuitive/spiritual healing journey -- individually and collectively ;-) We are being invited to forgive our own \"humanness\" and open our hearts. Suppressing or denying our feelings and intuitive gifts is even less recommended now.\r\n\r\nThere is no shame in feeling things, in being sensitive, in being imaginative and kind -- not just with the people we love but publicly as well. We are invited to shift our perspective about \"feelings\" and \"being sensitive\", from perceiving it as weakness, to allowing it to be our strength, our gift.\r\n\r\nWe are invited to embrace all of who we are (including our emotional body), if we are to fully function in this world -- and if we are to create a world that supports all living things equally.\r\n\r\n<em>Chiron will be moving into <strong>Aries</strong> in April</em>, so as best as you can, think back over the last 7 years (while Chiron has been in <strong>Pisces</strong>); <strong>ask yourself</strong>: In what ways have I been able to heal my relationship to the divine? Am I more in touch with my own intuition now vs, then (2011)? What sensitivities or limitations have come up around the feeling-body? What still needs my love, understanding and compassion in those areas of my life?\r\n\r\nIf we can shift our perspective from \"failure and blame\" to \"growth and learning\", we have an opportunity here to take a quantum leap forward in our individual and collective evolution. If a mere 5% of us went through a transformation, imagine what that would trigger for all.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself</strong>: Am I going to be one of the 5%? What might shift if I allowed myself to flow with the energetic stream rather than struggle against it? What might be possible if I gave my body and mind the opportunity to slow down, perhaps even get completely quiet at least 5 minutes every day?\r\n\r\n<em>Venus, Mercury and Uranus are all in <strong>Aries</strong></em> at the time of this New Moon. This brings another dimension to the New Moon chart: an action-oriented and direct approach that supports our inner courage.\r\n\r\n<em>Mercury is stationing, preparing to go retrograde on March 22nd</em> (at 17 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong>), and is thus exalted.\r\n\r\nThis brings awareness to our day to day thinking, and how we process and share information; we are more impulsive and quick-minded, and may communicate from a place of passion and courage, or anger. We are also more aware of our own inner dialog and how assertive or aggressive it is.\r\n\r\nPay attention to what\'s \"in your face\" right now. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What\'s important to me? Where do I over-think? Where do I act (or react) without thinking? What are my physical and mental impulses telling me? What role does \"passion\" or \"courage\" play in all of this?\r\n\r\nWe also covered this in our last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the <strong>Mercury Station and Retrograde</strong> is going to impact you personally, feel free to watch the mp4 video-presentation of our last Forum -- we applied what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/jupiters-optimism-mercurys-mental-dance-from-within/\">Here is an excerpt from the webinar. </a>For the full 90+ min. webinars <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a> (available for purchase until March 30th)\r\n\r\n<em>The Mercury Station and Retrograde</em> invite us to go beyond the conditioning of our mind, our stories, and our script, and to release what is no longer in alignment with our personal goals, our passions, our \"true\" Selves.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What if I tapped into my inner courage? What if I communicated honestly, was fearless, was without apologies? What if I gave myself permission to start fresh? Every day, every moment?\r\n\r\n<em>Mars in <strong>Sagittarius</strong> squares the New Moon and Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong></em>. This might create some restlessness and uneasiness in regards to our healing journey this month. We may feel we are falling behind, become impatient -- easily annoyed, or simply angry at not being where we\'d like to be. We may want to move faster than our emotional/intuitive body is asking us to go at this time -- individually and collectively speaking.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself here</strong>: Am I using my warrior energy to defend my belief systems and view about life, or to explore larger truths? Am I asserting myself so I can walk my own talk, or using my anger to dominate and separate myself further from others?\r\n\r\nIs \"knowingness\" a way to make myself feel better about who I am (i.e. to feel superior), or a compass I can use to explore my life further? Are there any beliefs I hold dear that have limited my connection to Source/intuition? What might be possible if I applied a new approach and brought open-heartedness to those scripts?\r\n\r\nWe may feel triggered by others and may well trigger them. Some of that may feel connected to the past -- something in our history with someone else might be the trigger in question.\r\n\r\nWhen this happens, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> Is this somehow familiar? Is it possible it\'s historical? What does it remind me of? Am I attached to being \"right\" here? Could I welcome wanting approval, safety or control? What if opening my heart created space for all truths to co-exist side by side? No need for conflict, or right, or wrong... simply a space for all of it to be part of the larger sea of life. What might be possible if compassion were the warrior-energy of our heart?\r\n\r\n<em>Mars moves into <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact; it will play a major role for the rest of March and April. If you want to know how all of this is going to impact you personally, feel free to join the next Forecasting Forum -- we will go into Mars\'s involvement with Saturn, and with Pluto\'s Station and Retrograde phases in more detail -- and apply that insight to our own birth charts.\r\n\r\nThe next Forum will be on <strong>Monday, April 2nd, 2018 at</strong> 10am PST/ <strong>1pm EDT</strong>/6pm BST (London-time). <strong>For more info or to register at the regular fee,</strong> <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">click here</a>. <strong>To join for FREE</strong>, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/JLFckh\">become a Star or SuperStar Member</a> on my site\r\n\r\n<em>Neptune, the ruler of <strong>Pisces</strong>,</em> is currently in its own sign and brings a very clear message to this New Moon: for the next 28 days, as best as you can, unplug and listen deeply to your heart and soul. Allow for all feelings to flow; allow for yourself to be with what is.\r\n\r\nTap into the divinity within through any, some, or all of the following: meditation; being in nature; music; dance; energy healing; dream work; creative writing; art; being with your intuition. In the silence we feel the oneness with all there is, we feel the unconditional love the Universe provides.\r\n\r\n<em>Since 2011, when Neptune and Chiron moved into <strong>Pisces</strong></em>, we have been becoming more and more aware that we are One. Everything is energy, everything is connected and everything is in a continuous flow/movement. Each of us is like a drop of water, appearing to be individual, yet also a part of the big ocean of life. We are the sum of all parts: physical, spiritual, emotional, mental… and all that exists is part of the whole.\r\n\r\nTake 5-minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, to get quiet and be with yourself (your intuitive/feeling Self). What might become possible if you gave this to your body and mind on a regular basis?\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What might a healthy connection with the energetic world feel like? What if I were 5% more interested in my inner world? What if I simply embraced whatever I discovered there? Could I simply allow what \"is\" to \"just be\", just for this very moment?\r\n\r\nWe are invited to take actions that are aligned with intuition, and communicate our boundaries... perhaps even remove ourselves from situations, when that is the loving thing to do.\r\n\r\nIn other words: we move with \"all is well\", no matter what the appearance or view looks like, out there in the world. We trust our inner senses. This is something we need to relearn; we are so conditioned to focus on the outside world for answers, to look to our mind-chatter for answers, or to close off and protect ourselves. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What results might I get if I tapped into inner courage, inner sensing/intuition, and the power of compassion... all at the same time?\r\n\r\nAgain, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">feel free to watch my video on the subject .</a>\r\n<div id=\":7xx\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Hide expanded content\" data-tooltip=\"Hide expanded content\">\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in one of the following placements: 25-29 degrees of <strong>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </strong>or<strong> Sagittarius</strong>? If so, you may feel the effects of this extra-powerful New Moon more strongly for the next 6 months. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in <strong>Leo </strong>or<strong> Cancer</strong> (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</em>\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to <i>set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle</i>. Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <strong><i>not</i> </strong>during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions</i> would be <b>between 2:47pm EDT today (March 17th) and 9:11am EDT Monday morning (March 19th).</b>\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EDT (US East Coast-time), feel free to join my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> <i>or</i> follow me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders on Saturday afternoon, Sunday throughout the day, and Monday morning to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nPart of the reason for this is that on<strong> Saturday at 9:12am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 5.5 hours, <strong>until 2:57pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to go within and meditate or pray/give thanks/converse with your higher Self.\r\n\r\nThis will support us in feeling connected to our inner Universe -- and of course, it will be a tremendous help in healing our emotional wounds. Finally, as always during VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday morning and afternoon ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 12:40pm EDT,</strong> <i>Mars changes signs </i><i>from optimistic, adventurous</i><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> to realistic, prestige-and-accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until May 16th</strong>. For those 8.5 weeks, we tend to feel more determined, goal-oriented and focused. We are not afraid to work hard on attainable goals so that we can see tangible results.\r\n\r\nOur drive to succeed is quite strong, especially when we feel a need for physical and material security — that is, in the realm of all that can be seen and held. Our self-control tends to be quite strong around the expression of \"drives\" -- things like anger, energy, ambition, and sexuality -- in fact, with Mars in Capricorn we are at our least impulsive, with a powerful need to stay in control.\r\n\r\nBecause we have such a strong sense of responsibility, we need to be careful not to start using work to hide from others. Anger can easily get channeled into our work as well. As best as you can, be kind to yourself, remember we all do the best we can; there is no need for extra pressure.\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more focused and determent. You may want to get down to business. If you are a </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 8.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 2:57pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><b><i>,</i></b> where it will journey <b><strong>until Monday evening</strong></b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday after 2:57pm EDT, </b>it\'s time to start setting your Intentions of this Moon cycle.<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here</a><i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 18th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries </i>all day</b> (see Saturday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday night/Sunday very early morning</b> <i>Mercury starts its station-phase</i>. From<b> today on, </b>right through<b> March 29th.</b> <i>Mercury slows down tremendously</i><i>,</i> as it prepares to come to a halt before turning retrograde on March 22nd. During the station, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments during the retrograde -- or the shadow phase that follows.\r\n\r\nFor the next 12 days, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait until after May 3rd, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 14-19 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></i><b><i>, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday evening,</strong> <em>a Sun/Chiron alignment in 28 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:15pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Wednesday evening (March 21st). </strong>This gives us an opportunity to heal insecurities or shame through conscious awareness.\r\n\r\nBecoming aware of old wounds or limitations is the first step toward healing them. Bringing compassion, self-acceptance, and love to it is the second. Together, steps one and two make for a beautiful healing experience.\r\n\r\nIt will help to stay grounded — connected to the Earth and your body. If waves of feeling come up, let them, simply observe the waves. Ask yourself: Am I the \"wave\" or am I more than that? As best as you can, allow all \"waves\" to wash ashore, and allow yourself to rest as the vastness that you are (just like the ocean is to the waves).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 25-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of <strong>Aries, Libra, Cancer</strong> or <strong>Capricorn</strong></i><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso, <b>Sunday all day: </b>If you haven\'t gotten around to it yet,<i> </i><i>set your Intentions</i> for this Moon cycle...

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 11:36am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 6:44pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan all of Monday afternoon and early evening ahead of time\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 6:44pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Thursday morning</strong><b>.</b> The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius </i>all day </b>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Venus/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 8:39am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. </strong>This aspect<b> </b>asks us to stretch and grow beyond how we\'ve known ourselves in our relationships up to this point -- a process of maturing that requires we adjust and stay flexible.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, we want to make new and passionate connections while enthusiastically engaging with life; on the other hand, we feel a sharp need to focus on what we want to manifest long-term -- what works, what doesn\'t, what are our resources to make it happen, how can we move from A to B without missing anything essential -- in short, to determine what\'s real and can provide us with the best foundation for the next step. Do your best to make space for both of these urges.\r\n\r\nWe tend to be more cautious when it comes to relationships and finances now -- and in fact, this is not the best time to start a brand-new romantic relationship. Financially though, this aspect can be eye-opening; if we can find creative ways to deal with money, we will grow from it.\r\n\r\nThe key is to approach things in both realms with enthusiasm and maturity. Pushing will most likely not get us what we want: better to go one step at a time, slow and steady; that way, we can come back later with a stronger approach and more mature expectations.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><i> 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late afternoon,</strong> <em>a harmonious Sun/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 4:06pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Friday. </strong>It’s an opportunity to see things from a different perspective. What will lead us to this new vantage point?\r\n\r\nOptimism, an open mind, an open heart: Follow your enthusiasm as if it were a wilderness guide — and let yourself be creative and free, especially with or around other people.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday evening: </strong><i>the</i> <i>Balsamic Moon phase begins </i>when the Moon reaches 12º of <b>Aquarius. </b>This lasts <b>until Saturday morning</b>, when the New Moon in <b>Pisces </b>becomes exact (more on that later...however, <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/New+Moon.aspx\">feel free to watch my video on the subject</a> -- will be posted by Monday, March 11th).\r\n\r\nWe are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our inner sensing/intuition. For some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes.\r\n\r\nThis is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?<i> </i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 14th): <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b></strong><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Mars/Chiron aspect </em>becomes exact at 2:10am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Thursday night (March 8th) on; it will remain strong until next week Monday (March 19th). </strong>This aspect challenges us to see our own attachments and aversions as a normal, perhaps even valid, part of being human. That way, should we choose to express desire or anger (or even contempt or disgust), such expressions will feel natural and organic, rather than something that provokes shame.\r\n\r\nWe may experience situations that call forth our initiative and independence -- but may not feel confident that we can rise to the challenge, let alone follow through. As best as you can, when the challenge comes: Get into action, feel the excitement that comes with stepping out of the familiar. Ask yourself: What would my hero do?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 25-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or 0-1 degree of <strong>Capricorn, Aries, Cancer,</strong> or <strong>Libra</strong></i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\"> </b><i>will feel most affected by this aspect.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 15th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><strong> until 6:12am EDT</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 3:32am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 2.5 hours, <strong>until 6:12am EDT</strong>. If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it as an opportunity to explore larger truths and your own life further.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday early morning ahead of time\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 6:12am EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><b><i>, </i></b>where it will journey <strong>until Saturday afternoon</strong>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.<b> </b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday: </strong><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Friday late morning,</b> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours.\r\n\r\n<b>Friday, late in the evening, </b>we have the opportunity to be guided by inspiration, and fully commit to a project or task that might serve us long-term. As best as you can, listen and trust to the subtle messages in your heart, that stir you towards success.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 17th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><strong> until 2:57pm EDT</strong> (see Thursday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<span class=\"im\"><b><span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1076589850\"><span class=\"aQJ\">Saturday at 9:11am EDT</span></span>,</b><i> the</i> <i>Moon will align with the Sun in almost 27 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces;</i></b> this marks the beginning of a <em>new Moon cycle</em>. <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/New+Moon.aspx\">Feel free to watch my video on the subject </a>(will be posted by Monday, March 11th)</span>\r\n<div>\r\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\r\n<div class=\"gmail_default\">\r\n<div><b>Pisces</b> is the last sign of the zodiac. It connects us to our spiritual journey, as it represents a reunion with Source/God/the Universe. When at its highest vibration, <b>Pisces </b>unifies all dualities -- it is completely aware of the oneness of all. It tells us there is a union within, that exists always, and we can tap into it.</div>\r\n<div><b> </b></div>\r\n<div><b>Pisces</b> is accepting and aware of its eternal nature. It lovingly allows all, because it knows that there is no real separation between things, that separation only exists in the mind.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>At it\'s lowest vibration however, <strong>Pisces</strong> feels separate, fearful, and victimized. It wants to escape the harsh physical realities of this world. We get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not go within to connect with our inner divinity, when we do not trust ourselves, our inner processes and intuitive Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What stops me from connecting to my inner divinity? What if I opened to the perfection of life? What if I trusted to universal timing? Might plenty of down-time and rest actually support my reconnection with Source-energy or my intuitive Self?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>This New Moon aligns with Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>: this amplifies the message to be conscious of our intuitive/spiritual healing journey -- individually and collectively ;-) We are being invited to forgive our own \"humanness\" and open our hearts. Suppressing or denying our feelings and intuitive gifts is even less recommended now.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>There is no shame in feeling things, in being sensitive, in being imaginative and kind -- not just with the people we love but publicly as well. We are invited to shift our perspective about \"feelings\" and \"being sensitive\", from perceiving it as weakness, to allowing it to be our strength, our gift.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We are invited to embrace all of who we are (including our emotional body), if we are to fully function in this world -- and if we are to create a world that supports all living things equally.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>Chiron will be moving into <strong>Aries</strong> in April,</em> so as best as you can, think back over the last 7 years (while Chiron has been in <strong>Pisces</strong>); <strong>ask yourself:</strong> In what ways have I been able to heal my relationship to the divine? Am I more in touch with my own intuition now vs, then (2011)? What sensitivities or limitations have come up around the feeling-body? What still needs my love, understanding and compassion in those areas of my life?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>If we can shift our perspective from \"failure and blame\" to \"growth and learning\", we have an opportunity here to take a quantum leap forward in our individual and collective evolution. If a mere 5% of us went through a transformation, imagine what that would trigger for all.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Am I going to be one of the 5%? What might shift if I allowed myself to flow with the energetic stream rather than struggle against it? What might be possible if I gave my body and mind the opportunity to slow down, perhaps even get completely quiet at least 5 minutes every day?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Venus, Mercury and Uranus are all in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b>at the time of this New Moon. This brings another dimension to the New Moon chart: an action-oriented and direct approach that supports our inner courage.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Mercury is stationing</i>, preparing to go retrograde on <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1076589851\"><span class=\"aQJ\">March 22nd</span></span> (at 17 degrees of <b>Aries)</b>, and is thus exalted.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>This brings awareness to our day to day thinking, and how we process and share information; we are more impulsive and quick-minded, and may communicate from a place of passion and courage, or anger. We are also more aware of our own inner dialog and how assertive or aggressive it is.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Pay attention to what\'s \"in your face\" right now. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What\'s important to me? Where do I over-think? Where do I act (or react) without thinking? What are my physical and mental impulses telling me? What role does \"passion\" play in all of this?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We also covered this in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the Mercury Station and Retrograde is going to impact you personally, feel free to watch the mp4 video-presentation of our last Forum -- we applied what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/jupiters-optimism-mercurys-mental-dance-from-within/\">Here is an excerpt from the webinar. </a>For the full 90+ min. webinars <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>The Mercury Station and Retrograde</em> invite us to go beyond the conditioning of our mind, our stories, and our script, and to release what is no longer in alignment with our personal goals, our passions, our \"true\" Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What if I tapped into my inner courage? What if I communicated honestly, was fearless, was without apologies? What if I gave myself permission to start fresh? Every day, every moment?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> squares the New Moon and Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>. This might create some restlessness and uneasiness in regards to our healing journey this month. We may feel we are falling behind, become impatient -- easily annoyed, or simply angry at not being where we\'d like to be. We may want to move faster than our emotional/intuitive body is asking us to go at this time -- individually and collectively speaking.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself here</strong>: Am I using my warrior energy to defend my belief systems and view about life, or to explore larger truths? Am I asserting myself so I can walk my own talk, or using my anger to dominate and separate myself further from others?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Is \"knowingness\" a way to make myself feel better about who I am (i.e. to feel superior), or a compass I can use to explore my life further? Are there any beliefs I hold dear that have limited my connection to Source/intuition? What might be possible if I applied a new approach and brought open-heartedness to those scripts?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We may feel triggered by others and may well trigger them. Some of that may feel connected to the past -- something in our history with someone else might be the trigger in question.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>When this happens, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> Is this somehow familiar? Is it possible it\'s historical? What does it remind me of? Am I attached to being \"right\" here? Could I welcome wanting approval, safety or control? What if opening my heart created space for all truths to co-exist side by side? No need for conflict, or right, or wrong... simply a space for all of it to be part of the larger sea of life. What might be possible if compassion were the warrior-energy of our heart?</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n<em>Mars moves into <strong>Capricorn</strong> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact</em>; it will play a major role for the rest of March and April. If you want to know how all of this is going to impact you personally, feel free to join the next Forecasting Forum -- we will go into Mars\'s involvement with Saturn, and with Pluto\'s Station and Retrograde phases in more detail -- and apply that insight to our own birth charts.\r\n\r\nThe next Forum will be on <b>Monday</b>, <b>April 2nd, 2018 at </b>10am<b> </b>PST/<b> 1pm EDT</b>/6pm BST (London-time). For more info or to register, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">click here</a>.

Allow for all feelings to flow; allow for yourself to be with what is.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Tap into the divinity within through any, some, or all of the following: meditation; being in nature; music; dance; energy healing; dream work; creative writing; art; being with your intuition. In the silence we feel the oneness with all there is, we feel the unconditional love the Universe provides.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Since 2011, when Neptune and Chiron moved into <b>Pisces</b>, we have been becoming more and more aware that we are<b> One. </b>Everything is energy, everything is connected and everything is in a continuous flow/movement. Each of us is like a drop of water, appearing to be individual, yet also a part of the big ocean of life. We are the sum of all parts: physical, spiritual, emotional, mental… and <i>all</i> that exists is part of the whole.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Take 5-minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, to get quiet and be with yourself (your intuitive/feeling Self). What might become possible if you gave this to your body and mind on a regular basis?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What might a healthy connection with the energetic world feel like? What if I were 5% more interested in my inner world? What if I simply embraced whatever I discovered there? Could I simply allow what \"is\" to \"just be\", just for this very moment?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We are invited to take actions that are aligned with intuition, and communicate our boundaries... perhaps even remove ourselves from situations, when that is the loving thing to do.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>In other words: we move with \"all is well\", no matter what the appearance or view looks like, out there in the world. We trust our inner senses. This is something we need to relearn; we are so conditioned to focus on the outside world for answers, to look to our mind-chatter for answers, or to close off and protect ourselves. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What results might I get if I tapped into inner courage, inner sensing/intuition, and the power of compassion... all at the same time?</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><span class=\"im\">Again, <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/New+Moon.aspx\">feel free to watch my video on the subject </a>(will be posted by Monday, March 11th)</span></div>\r\n<div>\r\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\r\n<div class=\"gmail_default\">\r\n<div class=\"yj6qo ajU\">\r\n<div id=\":7xx\" class=\"ajR\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Hide expanded content\" data-tooltip=\"Hide expanded content\"><img class=\"ajT\" src=\"https://ssl.gstatic.com/ui/v1/icons/mail/images/cleardot.gif\" /></div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div class=\"adL\">\r\n<div><i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in one of the following placements: 25-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>?

This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Cancer </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i></div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to <i>set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle</i>. Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <strong><i>not</i> </strong>during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions</i> would be <b>between 2:47pm EDT today (March 17th) and 9:11am EDT Monday morning (March 19th).</b>\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EDT (US East Coast-time), feel free to join my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> <i>or</i> follow me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders on Saturday afternoon, Sunday throughout the day, and Monday morning to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nPart of the reason for this is that on<strong> Saturday at 9:12am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 5.5 hours, <strong>until 2:57pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to go within and meditate or pray/give thanks/converse with your higher Self.\r\n\r\nThis will support us in feeling connected to our inner Universe -- and of course, it will be a tremendous help in healing our emotional wounds. Finally, as always during VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday morning and afternoon ahead of time.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<strong>Saturday at 12:40pm EDT,</strong> <i>Mars changes signs </i><i>from optimistic, adventurous</i><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> to realistic, prestige-and-accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until May 16th</strong>. For those 8.5 weeks, we tend to feel more determined, goal-oriented and focused. We are not afraid to work hard on attainable goals so that we can see tangible results.\r\n\r\nOur drive to succeed is quite strong, especially when we feel a need for physical and material security — that is, in the realm of all that can be seen and held. Our self-control tends to be quite strong around the expression of \"drives\" -- things like anger, energy, ambition, and sexuality -- in fact, with Mars in Capricorn we are at our least impulsive, with a powerful need to stay in control.\r\n\r\nBecause we have such a strong sense of responsibility, we need to be careful not to start using work to hide from others. Anger can easily get channeled into our work as well. As best as you can, be kind to yourself, remember we all do the best we can; there is no need for extra pressure.\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more focused and determent. You may want to get down to business. If you are a </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 8.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 2:57pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><b><i>,</i></b> where it will journey <b><strong>until Monday evening</strong></b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday after 2:57pm EDT, </b>it\'s time to start setting your Intentions of this Moon cycle.<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here</a><i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 18th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries </i>all day</b> (see Saturday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday night/Sunday very early morning</b> <i>Mercury starts its station-phase</i>. From<b> today on, </b>right through<b> March 29th.</b> <i>Mercury slows down tremendously</i><i>,</i> as it prepares to come to a halt before turning retrograde on March 22nd. During the station, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments during the retrograde -- or the shadow phase that follows.\r\n\r\nFor the next 12 days, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait until after May 3rd, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 14-19 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></i><b><i>, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday evening,</strong> <em>a Sun/Chiron alignment in 28 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:15pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Wednesday evening (March 21st). </strong>This gives us an opportunity to heal insecurities or shame through conscious awareness.\r\n\r\nBecoming aware of old wounds or limitations is the first step toward healing them. Bringing compassion, self-acceptance, and love to it is the second. Together, steps one and two make for a beautiful healing experience.\r\n\r\nIt will help to stay grounded — connected to the Earth and your body. If waves of feeling come up, let them, simply observe the waves. Ask yourself: Am I the \"wave\" or am I more than that? As best as you can, allow all \"waves\" to wash ashore, and allow yourself to rest as the vastness that you are (just like the ocean is to the waves).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 25-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of <strong>Aries, Libra, Cancer</strong> or <strong>Capricorn</strong></i><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso, <b>Sunday all day: </b>If you haven\'t gotten around to it yet,<i> </i><i>set your Intentions</i> for this Moon cycle...

Learn what challenges and opportunities lie ahead; generate your life from a place of conscious creation. Every year builds on the year before; a year of empowerment and greater self-knowledge will not only bring its own satisfaction, it will also create a building block for the rest of your life. Start the year as you mean to go on: with a higher level of consciousness. You can schedule Solar Return readings up to 3 months before your birthday and up to 3 months after your birthday.</p>[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=\"Q.

It is a wonderful tool to use for releasing fears, \"old\" belief patterns, suppressed feelings... really, any energy blockages that keep us from being where we want to be. For myself -- and also speaking from my experience with my clients -- is a really great tool to understand ourselves better and to align ourselves with our highest potential, and with the energies as they are moment to moment; allowing life to be in alignment with our growth process. The Coaching; is a supportive tool in releasing the \"old\" programming and conditioning, that our day-to-day mind is attached to; therefore we connect to who we truly are and who we choose to be moment to moment. This creates more happiness and a greater ability for growth and evolution -- from a loving place, not a fearful one. You can book one coaching/healing session at a time. <a href=\"../services/\">You would do that on my Services page</a>.

It is still based on the Western, tropical system (same as traditional astrology), but the approach is that of viewing the birth chart from the soul\'s perspective, to see what we have come here (the earth plane) to do, to fulfill on our soul\'s journey and our soul\'s purpose.</p>[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=\"Q. What is the best way to set New Moon Intentions and when?\" icon_color=\"#5b0c29\" _builder_version=\"3.0.96\" title_text_shadow_horizontal_length=\"0em\" title_text_shadow_vertical_length=\"0em\" title_text_shadow_blur_strength=\"0em\" body_text_shadow_horizontal_length=\"0em\" body_text_shadow_vertical_length=\"0em\" body_text_shadow_blur_strength=\"0em\" background_size=\"initial\" background_position=\"top_left\" background_repeat=\"repeat\" open=\"off\"]<p>The best way to word your intentions is to phrase them in the present tense, as if they are already happening. Connect the intentions to the energy of the sign that is connected to the New Moon; so if the New Moon is in Capricorn, align you intentions with the Capricorn energy (long-term goals, career, commitments, responsibilities, authority-figures, inner authority, etc.). The best time to set intentions is the first 48 hours after the New Moon has become exact; and it is always best to avoid any Moon void of course (VoC) phases. Please check my weekly forecasts for exact times on Moon VoC phases. If a New Moon is also a Solar Eclipse, you want to wait 48 hours after the Eclipse has become exact, before setting your Intentions -- however, as with a regular New Moon, you still want to avoid any Moon VoC phases.</p>[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=\"Q.

When we are seeking to go beyond our current level, we need someone to show us how to fine-tune our perceptions, creating awareness, clarity and skill. For centuries, top athletes have used coaches; they understand that the only thing that will get them through the finish line is their own commitment combined with skilled support. In the past few decades, world-class business people, public speakers and others who face demanding and rigorous professional demands have also sought coaching to help them be their “personal best.” Now, more and more people from all walks of life are making a commitment to having a coach that sees their potential 100%, gives them pointers and supports them, no matter what.

Of course, the Eclipse on Thursday threw me for a loop -- it took place in my 4th House. This is the area of home and family... And there were definitely some unexpected things going on there that had to be addressed.

Why? <a href=\"https://goo.gl/aEhibk\">Click here</a> to read more about it\n\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: the first Quarter Moon in Gemini becomes exact on Friday; Eclipse season ends on Sunday, and among other things, that means you can start to take actions on your Solar Eclipse intentions that day -- and Jupiter begins its Station-phase on Sunday as well.\n\nThere will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Tuesday morning (for 8 hours), Thursday morning (for almost 12.5 hours), and Saturday afternoon (for a little over 7 hours).\n\n<strong>Monday (February 19th): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><i>pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries </i><strong>all day.</strong></b> It will remain there <b>until Tuesday afternoon</b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\n\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\n\n<strong>Monday</strong><strong> </strong><b>morning</b> starts out harmoniously and with an urge to explore something new that helps us understand the bigger picture all around.<!--more-->\n\nLater (<b>in the evening</b>), we are invited to make adjustments and find creative solutions around personal desires and needs, versus our deep passion and focus on long-term goals. As best as you can, allow yourself to make space for both; flexibility and adaptability are key if we mean to move forward with our plans and projects...\n\nLast but not least, also on <strong>Monday until 4pm EST, </strong>it is still the best time to set<i> our powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse Intentions</i>. Doing so during a Solar Eclipse is a little different from the regular monthly New Moon process: we are setting those intentions for the whole 6-month Eclipse cycle, rather than just for the next 28 days.\n<b></b>\n\nMake them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the <b>Aquarian</b> energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\n\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\n\nThis Solar Eclipse reminds us that to be fully alive requires us to constantly stretch, grow, and change. So, while writing your intentions, ask yourself: What would it take for me to release old patterns from the past? How might that free me to create a more powerful vision for the future?\n\n<strong>Tuesday (February 20th): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><i>pioneering, fast-paced </i><strong><b><i>Aries</i></b></strong><strong><em> </em>until 2:12pm EST </strong>(see Monday for details).\n\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:11am EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for 8 hours, <strong>until 2:12pm EST. </strong>Use this intuitive time to connect to people that can enthusiastically support your projects and share with them what you have going on.\n\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday morning until early afternoon ahead of time :-)\n\n<strong>Tuesday at 2:12pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves</i><b> </b><i>into steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Thursday evening.</strong> We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.\n\nIn other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\n\n<strong>Wednesday (February 21st):</strong> <em>t</em><em>he Moon remains in steady, peaceful</em><strong><em> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> </em>all day </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\n\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon,</strong> <i>a Venus/Neptune alignment in 13.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> </i>becomes exact at 1:42pm EST. <b>We started to feel this aspect on Monday night, it will be strong until Friday night</b>. It asks us to dissolve anything that keeps us from opening our hearts more fully. This connection makes us dream of Soul connections with others.\n\nWe are highly romantic and may turn a blind eye to \"what is\", in pursuit of a fantasy that we want or need to have fulfilled. Beware of anything that sounds too good to be true -- whether that\'s in connection with people or money -- it might indeed be \"too good to be true\" ;-)\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).</i>\n\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Mercury/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 3:23pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning on; it will remain strong until this Thursday. </strong>This is an opportunity to take responsibility for our thinking structures and be really honest with ourselves.\n\nHow can we get the most from this opportunity? As best as you can, allow your intuitive body to guide you. Commit to understanding your conditioning and thinking processes.\n\nIf we take this chance to see things more clearly and connect to ourselves more lovingly, we could get a good dose of reality, and an ability to focus on long-term issues. Remember: opportunities are openings; they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 5-9 degrees of <strong>Capricorn, Pisces, Scorpio </strong>or <strong>Taurus</strong>? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i>\n\n<strong>Thursday (Feb. 22nd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <b><i>Taurus</i></b></em><strong><em> </em>until 7:07pm EST </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\n\n<strong>Thursday at 6:46am EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 12.5 hours, <strong>until 7:07pm EST</strong>. Use this intuitive time to balance your desire for comfort and security with your desire for deeper emotional connections with yourself and others.\n\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday Day ahead of time :-)\n\n<strong>Thursday at 7:07pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <strong>until Saturday late evening</strong><b>.</b> For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way...\n\nThe one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-) This Moon placement starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Friday very early morning).\n\n<strong>Friday (Feb. 23rd):</strong> <em>the </em><i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b></strong>(see Thursday evening for details).\n\n<strong>Friday very early morning, at 3:09am EST, </strong><i>the first Quarter Moon in 4.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> </i>becomes exact (<b>we <strong>started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered <em>Gemini</em> on Thursday evening</strong>). </b>The Moon in chatty, versatile <b>Gemini</b> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in sensitive, compassionate <b>Pisces.</b>\n\nLast week (Feb. 15th) saw a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse. If we set some intentions on Feb. 17th, 18th or 19th, we are now ready to make some adjustments. This is a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum -- in fact, we may feel compelled to act, stirring up anxiety or overwhelm, so just go one breath at a time.\n\nRemember, we\'re still in Eclipse Season until Sunday, and thus don\'t have all the information we need to move brand-new projects forward yet. Allow for changes, remain flexible and adaptable, find creative solutions in day-to-day interactions with others. Allow for new downloads and for the release of “old” codes and conditioning. Simply put: an open mind and heart will serve us best (that\'s true in general, but especially true until Feb. 25th ;-)\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 2-7 degrees of</i><b><i> Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\n\n<strong>Saturday (Feb. 24th): </strong><em>the </em><i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b></strong><strong><em> </em>until 10:06pm EST </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\n\n<strong>Saturday at 2:58pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 10:06pm EST. </strong>Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\n\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)\n\n<strong>Saturday at 10:06pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Monday late evening (Feb. 26th)</strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\n\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.\n\n<strong>Saturday night, </strong><em> </em><i>Jupiter starts to slow down (station) as it reaches 23 degrees of </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Scorpio</strong><i>, preparing for its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. </i>Jupiter will come to a halt on March 8th;<i> </i>its <i>station-phase</i> last <b>until March 20th.</b> We will feel its energy more forcefully during the station-phase.\n\nWe start to be more fully aware of Jupiter\'s energy; this awareness helps us to get more connected to those energies within us. We get to see where we need to embrace them more fully, so that we can use them in a healthy way, without getting lost in the lower vibrations of their expression.\n\n<b>Until March 20th</b>, we have to face what this planet is trying to communicate to us: Jupiter represents our desire to seek insight via the gaining of knowledge. Some of this planet\'s keywords: morality, gratitude, hope, honor, law. Jupiter is the planet of possibility, optimism, and growth (including mental and spiritual growth). Jupiter is also associated with a sense of humor, goodwill, and mercy.\n\nThe lower expressions of Jupiter include \"Oh, the heck with it\", \"I deserve this and more\", \"the rules do not apply to me\" -- generally speaking: too much of a good thing, blind optimism, excess, stretching the truth, overindulgence.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> 21-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Taurus, Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this station phase. This is also true for those of us who have our</i><i> or Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter rules Sagittarius, so Sagittarius will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\n\n<strong>Sunday (February 25th): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><em><i>protective, nurturing</i></em><strong><em><i> </i>Cancer </em>all day </strong>(see Saturday late evening for details).\n\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Venus/Mars aspect </em>becomes exact at 7:01am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday night (Feb. 27th). </strong>This aspect asks that we stretch ourselves with regard to the feminine/masculine dynamic as it manifests both “inside” and “outside”: A shift needs to occur.\n\nThis can show up in several ways, either through romantic and sexual tensions that we might experience with others. We may tease each other, flirt with each other and/or play hard to get. Or we may find ourselves arguing in a very passionate way with the opposite sex. Competitiveness, anger, frustration, or angst might be present. Either way, this can be a very passionate time.\n\nBalancing and integrating masculine and feminine energies within ourselves would be very useful at this time.\n\nIf we experience these energies internally, there may be a desire for adventure -- or just for being still and \"adventuring\" into ourselves, our heart-space, our inner universe. The challenge might be that we feel pulled in two directions -- on the one hand, we want to feel \"one\" with others and connect to them through love and kindness. On the other hand, we want to be free and explore something new, outside of our familiar environment.\n\nWhat might it look like, if you made room for both of these energies?\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in 15-22 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra or Aries</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars is the ruler of Aries)</i>\n\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Neptune alignment in 13.5 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:26am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Monday night (Feb. 26th). </strong>This aspect could take our connection to our intuition even deeper -- if we can allow it.\n\nSpiritual and creative endeavors are highly recommended during this time -- especially those involving music or creative writing. This is definitely a highly imaginative time. As best as you can, go with the flow and -- just for now -- let go of wanting to figure it all out.\n\nThe highest vibration of this aspect is idealistic, highly intuitive and romantic; on a lower level vibration, we might not see reality clearly and we might easily feel overwhelmed. We might get confused or disappointed; things might seem a little foggy, especially when it comes to communication, processing information, public transportation or daily traffic.\n\nCheck in with others before signing any documents or making long-term decisions for those three days: get reality checks! As best as you can, let go and let flow ;-) On the other hand, trust the divine timing of things and have faith that everything will turn out exactly as it needs to.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of  </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces).</i>\n\n<strong>Sunday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Sun/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 12:46pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (Feb. 27th). </strong>This aspect provides an opportunity to become aware of what needs to happen if we are to accomplish something concrete.\n\nWe have common sense at our disposal; we are willing to look reality in the eye and take responsibility for our life and how we live it. This is an opportunity to be more aware of our heart connection to the divine and to our intuitive selves -- and how it can benefit us both in terms of long-term goals, and in what we are focused on in the here and now. Again, remember: opportunities are openings, they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 5-9 degrees</i><b><i> </i></b><i>of </i><b><i>Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.

see where the Moon placement is.\r\n\r\nThe Moon represents our \"inner Baby\", the part that is most vulnerable, our emotional response\r\n\r\nThe Moon in a Water Sign, a Water House, or conjunct Neptune: the inner baby is more sensitive and needs a gentle approach and reassurance\r\n\r\nThe Moon in an Earth sign, or Earth House or conjunct Saturn: the inner baby needs to have a realistic approach, something to relate to in the real world, needs the truth\r\n\r\nThe Moon in a Fire sign, or Fire House or conjunct Jupiter or Mars: the inner baby needs to feel inspired and reaching for something -- a challenge, something actionable\r\n\r\nThe Moon in an Air sign, or an Air House or conjunct Uranus: the inner baby needs a vision, needs to understand on an intellectual level, it needs to make sense\r\n\r\n<video controls=\"controls\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\">\r\n<source

We will mainly focus on the latter.\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Briefly: With <strong>Solar Arc Progressions</strong> we would add one degree to the natal positions of our planets for every year we are alive(for example, if you are 30 years old, you add 30 degrees to every planet in your chart).\nWith <strong>Secondary Progressions,</strong>each consecutive day after birth corresponds to one year of our life (so, if you are 30 years old, you look at the planetary movements(transits) that occurred 30 days after you were born)</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Secondary Progressions</strong> show us the changes and growth we experience, which may or may not be visible to others – these changes are internal.</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Transits and Progressions</strong> always relate back to the Birth chart and the natal planetary positions. This shows us how they affect us personally and what energetic connection is taking place.</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>The Progressed Moon</strong>:The Moon is the fastest moving celestial body in Astrology, it takes only about 2.5 days to travel through each sign; it is therefore also the fastest moving body in terms of Secondary Progressions. It takes almost 2.5 years to journey through each sign – again, you can see that every day corresponds to one year.</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">The progressed Moon shows us where we must learn to adapt and what we feel most compelled to learn about on an emotional level.This learning occurs as we come to understand the challenges and qualities of whatever sign and house the progressed Moon is currently occupying – and we are usually more involved in that area of our lives too.</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Every 27-28 years the progressed Moon comes back to its natal position, completing a cycle and starting a new cycle of emotional maturity.</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>The Progressed Sun</strong>: The Sun takes about 30 days to travel through each sign,so it takes about 30 years to move into a new sign by progression. When this happens, it is quite a powerful event: It will influence our Character traits, and we will encounter new experiences that further our personal growth.</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>The Progressed Ascendant </strong>takes <em>approximately</em> 30 years to change signs. When this happens, our approach to life shifts: We gradually start to adopt some of the traits of that new sign</p>\n&nbsp;\n\n<strong>What to look out for in a Progressed chart in relationship to the Natal chart:</strong>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Firstly, remember that personal Planets will always move faster than the outer planets in a progressed chart. The movement of the personal planets is therefore more relevant to our inner process than the outer planets.</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Progressed planets changing signs and houses:</strong></p>\n\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n 	<li style=\"list-style-type: none\">\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n 	<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n 	<li>When you see a planet moving from 29 degrees to 0 degrees of the next sign</li>\n 	<li>When you see a planet within 2 degrees of the next house cusp (especially the angles)</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong> Progressed planets making aspects to natal planets:</strong></p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">When you see a progressed planet within one degree of a natal planet, they are making a meaningful connection (this is true whether it be a conjunction, a square, a trine or an opposition). This tells a story of your internal growth process – new beginnings, needing to stretch yourself, allowing flow, finding internal balance…</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>The Progressed Ascendant and the Progressed Sun’s ruler</strong>: for example if your natal Ascendant is Capricorn, we know that Saturn is the ruler of your natal chart; it’s the planet in your chart that you operate from. When your progressed Ascendant moves into Aquarius, your energy will shift, and Uranus’s placement in the natal chart will enjoy a greater focus.</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">The same is true for the Sun’s ruler. If your Sun is in Pisces, Neptune’s position in your natal chart will have a great influence on you. When the progressed Sun moves into Aries, your energy shifts, and Mars’s placement in your natal chart will become more influential.</p>\n<strong>Home assignment: </strong>Investigate the Progressed Moon, Sun and Ascendant in your own chart. Look at the signs and House placements in connection with your natal chart. Look at the rulers of your progressed Sun and Ascendant; see where they show up in your natal chart.\n\nAlways feel free to give me your feedback.

But every tool is just as useful or as powerful as the consciousness of the person who uses the tool.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>What Is Soul-Based Astrology?</h2>\r\nSoul-based astrology is a love-based model of astrology focused on the integration of energies that enable you to live your life in wholeness, knowing your soul\'s journey and purpose.\r\n\r\nIn soul-based astrology, observation and compassion are key elements in translating astrological data--instead of judgment and fear. When interpreting something in your chart, judgment and fear exclude and repress energies; but observation and compassion include and nurture energies---serving the purpose of wholeness and empowerment.\r\n\r\nSoul-based astrology brings the heart connection to the complex intellectual tool of astrology and enables the student, client or astrologer to look at things from a higher perspective and not from mental conditioning. In her soul-based astrology courses, Sonja Francis trains people to really look for the \"gold in the chart\" and to see how the information can be used for growth.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>Soul-Based Astrology Is Different...</h2>\r\nThe process of becoming whole involves honoring all of your energies. Soul-based astrology differs from other astrological perspectives in that it embraces all planets and all signs in the natal chart with the goal of really loving and accepting yourself fully and completely.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h2>The Most Effective Way to Use It</h2>\r\nTo use astrology consciously, you need to observe what a planet or aspect means to you personally. Using weekly and monthly astrological forecasts of current transits and progressions in conjunction with your birth chart helps you become conscious of the different energy shifts that are occurring. This process can help you live your life on purpose, developing compassion for yourself and others and really growing on a human level and a soul level.\r\n\r\nSoul-based astrology is a tool for unlocking the astrological chart and the soul\'s potential instead of confining it. With soul-based astrology even the most difficult aspects can be seen as the most profound keys to wholeness.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]', 'Soul-Based Astrology', '', 'publish', 'closed', 'closed', '', 'soul-based-astrology', '', '', '2017-10-24 12:30:40', '2017-10-24 16:30:40', '', '0', 'https://astrologercoach.com/?page_id=1836', '0', 'page', '', '0');

I truly feel that I am in the very best of hands.  Sonja, I am very grateful that the planets have aligned in such a way that I have found my way to you.  With gratitude, Diana.\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_testimonial][et_pb_testimonial _builder_version=\"3.0.60\" url_new_window=\"off\" quote_icon=\"on\" use_background_color=\"on\" quote_icon_background_color=\"#f5f5f5\" background_layout=\"light\" text_orientation=\"left\" border_style=\"solid\" author=\"Kristi\" job_title=\"CA -- Business owner\"]\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU for yesterday! And I feel touched that you checked in with me.  Funny you should say \"the mind overcomplicates things\".  In doing some processing of all that you said, I realize that I overcomplicate saying how I feel.  Thank you so much for your support.  I can\'t believe I have been living my life like this.  The \"new\" way seems so much easier (in the long run). You are <strong>an amazing coach</strong> Sonja. I feel blessed that we are working together.  I will keep you posted and will check in again, astrologically, at the end of April.

I am not a skeptic, but have had difficulty resonating with what I call the human language filter. I have been cultivating a growing appreciation for Sonja\'s words to the point that logging on to the inter-web and looking for her input has become a central part of my morning ritual...I was thinking about the difference, and as to why a random google Gemini horoscope search (or ten) doesn\'t yield the same clarity, consistency or poignancy as her daily updates.Then it occurred to me that tho we haven\'t met, I have seen a more than a few of her videos to date. That one way interaction has given me a small window to get to see the person behind the words. I have known other astrologers and cosmic interpreters over the years, quite a few in fact, and feel that I have a good base of comparison in the guild. So this is the difference that I see: <strong>the clarity of her words and words such as hers comes from a place in people that, in my experience, is only reached by releasing one\'s attachments to one\'s own persecution</strong>. I think it\'s the best quality a person can have. So I thank you, Sonja, for your clarity, and I honor you for your courage. In appreciation, J\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_testimonial][et_pb_image _builder_version=\"3.0.60\" src=\"https://astrologercoach.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Astrologer_Coach_Sonja_Francis_sunbeam-292987-1.jpg\" show_in_lightbox=\"off\" url_new_window=\"off\" use_overlay=\"off\" sticky=\"off\" align=\"left\" always_center_on_mobile=\"on\" border_style=\"solid\" force_fullwidth=\"off\" /][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\"1_2\"][et_pb_testimonial _builder_version=\"3.0.60\" author=\"Yngrid\" job_title=\"New York, NY\" url_new_window=\"off\" quote_icon=\"on\" use_background_color=\"on\" quote_icon_background_color=\"#f5f5f5\" background_layout=\"light\" text_orientation=\"left\" border_style=\"solid\"]\r\n\r\nThank you Sonja, It was great to receive your <strong>guidance and clarifications on these important transitioning moments</strong> for me.

Though many Astrologers, who are quite soul-centered, give those weekly forecasts on YouTube, YOUR written forecasts are, for me, much more essential to look at each day, each moment and to constantly refer to when living each NOW moment.  I praise you, I bless you for being so diligent to spirit with your work.

We share with others our compassion, our understanding, our experiences, and by doing this we can help them.

This is also our “shadow” – the parts of ourselves we had to ignore, condemn, or lock away, in order to live within our family and society.\r\n\r\nAs Carl Jung so memorably said though ”The gold is always in the shadows”. Within these locked and darkened rooms lie all our benefits, blessings, lessons and gifts. When we reintegrate what we banished, we become truly unique – unlike anyone else who has ever lived. Chiron tells us that, no matter how painful or shameful, <em>every </em>wound holds a gift.\r\n\r\nTrying to “fix” these wounds sends the message that the wound itself is “wrong” and we are broken because of it – we are just driving it deeper into the shadow. The healing path to wholeness is simply to approach the wound ‐‐ and to accept our own perfection, exactly as we are (and are not). We sit with the wound compassionately, as we would with a wounded relative, until it reveals its gifts.\r\n\r\nChiron is not only a pointer then, it is also a catalyst for “self‐alchemy” – a way to turn our personal “base metals” into gold. It is both guide and process in this quantum leap of consciousness.\r\n\r\n<strong>Chiron</strong>: Bridge between Saturn and Uranus, link between social and outer planets: connects the worldly with the spiritual, the physical with the non-physical, we are being reminded of our humanity and to see it as a gift\r\n\r\n<strong>Outer planets</strong>: Uranus, Neptune and Pluto: they connect us to the Soul’s wishes, dreams and desires\r\n\r\n<strong>Uranus:</strong>The Soul’s wish for freedom and change (idealistic): divine creativity, innovation and intelligence (speed things up)\r\n\r\n<strong>Neptune:</strong>The Soul’s dream of oneness and unconditional love (spiritual):\r\n\r\nDivine love, presence and creativity (slows things down)\r\n\r\n<strong>Pluto:</strong>The Soul’s desire for feeling fully empowered and passionate about life (emotional): divine will, purpose and power (deepens our experiences)\r\n\r\n<strong>Moon Nodes</strong>: represent our Soul’s Journey: Past, Future and the integration of the two in the Present\r\n\r\nLet’s talk about:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>The difference between childhood experiences and adult choices.</li>\r\n 	<li>The importance of house placements for outer planets and Chiron</li>\r\n 	<li>Placement of Chiron between Saturn and Uranus: the link/bridge from the material/karmic world to the Soul\'s greater vision for life on Earth.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>Chiron:</strong> the Wounded Healer: connect to the wounding within and rise above it through love compassion and understanding.

long and is starting to rot. You take it out and throw it away, so that the rest of the fruit doesn’t rot as well. We let the dead, toxic fruit go, so we can feel healthy and empowered. That’s Pluto…\r\n\r\nBut perhaps there’s another piece of fruit in the refrigerator, that has a dimple or looks crooked. We don’t necessarily throw it out – it’s not bad, it’s just “wounded”. We accept it for what it is and develop compassion for its “flaw”, for being less than perfect. We develop an understanding about what it’s like to be less-than-perfect and can therefore accept this in others as well.\r\n\r\nThat’s Chiron – the Wound itself feels like it is a “disconnect”, but it is actually the connector between the physical and spiritual realms.

Transits are ultimately events or occurrences that help us learn about our human experience and help us evolve on a Soul level.</p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Progressions</strong> show the movement of planets since the day of our birth; they relate to our inner growth.</p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Watch Class 1...</strong>\r\n<video controls=\"controls\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\">\r\n<source src=\"https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/astrologercoachcourses/soul-based-astrology-basic-course/Soul+Based+Astrology%3A+Advanced+Soul%E2%80%99s+Journey/Advanced+Soul\'s+Journey+class+1.mp4\" type=\"video/mp4\" />\r\nYour browser does not support the video tag.\r\n</video>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>Class 1: </strong>Progressions\r\n\r\nThere are two types of Progressions: <strong>Solar Arc Progressions</strong> and <strong>Secondary Progressions</strong>. We will mainly focus on the latter.\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Briefly: With <strong>Solar Arc Progressions</strong> we would add one degree to the natal positions of our planets for every year we are alive(for example, if you are 30 years old, you add 30 degrees to every planet in your chart).</p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">With <strong>Secondary Progressions,</strong>each consecutive day after birth corresponds to one year of our life (so, if you are 30 years old, you look at the planetary movements(transits) that occurred 30 days after you were born)</p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Secondary Progressions</strong> show us the changes and growth we experience, which may or may not be visible to others – these changes are internal.</p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Transits and Progressions</strong> always relate back to the Birth chart and the natal planetary positions. This shows us how they affect us personally and what energetic connection is taking place.</p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>The Progressed Moon</strong>:The Moon is the fastest moving celestial body in Astrology, it takes only about 2.5 days to travel through each sign; it is therefore also the fastest moving body in terms of Secondary Progressions. It takes almost 2.5 years to journey through each sign – again, you can see that every day corresponds to one year.</p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">The progressed Moon shows us where we must learn to adapt and what we feel most compelled to learn about on an emotional level.This learning occurs as we come to understand the challenges and qualities of whatever sign and house the progressed Moon is currently occupying – and we are usually more involved in that area of our lives too.</p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Every 27-28 years the progressed Moon comes back to its natal position, completing a cycle and starting a new cycle of emotional maturity.</p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>The Progressed Sun</strong>: The Sun takes about 30 days to travel through each sign,so it takes about 30 years to move into a new sign by progression. When this happens, it is quite a powerful event: It will influence our Character traits, and we will encounter new experiences that further our personal growth.</p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>The Progressed Ascendant </strong>takes <em>approximately</em> 30 years to change signs. When this happens, our approach to life shifts: We gradually start to adopt some of the traits of that new sign</p>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<strong>What to look out for in a Progressed chart in relationship to the Natal chart:</strong>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Firstly, remember that personal Planets will always move faster than the outer planets in a progressed chart. The movement of the personal planets is therefore more relevant to our inner process than the outer planets.</p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Progressed planets changing signs and houses:</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">When you see a planet moving from 29 degrees to 0 degrees of the next sign</p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">When you see a planet within 2 degrees of the next house cusp (especially the angles)</p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong> Progressed planets making aspects to natal planets:</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">When you see a progressed planet within one degree of a natal planet, they are making a meaningful connection (this is true whether it be a conjunction, a square, a trine or an opposition). This tells a story of your internal growth process – new beginnings, needing to stretch yourself, allowing flow, finding internal balance…</p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>The Progressed Ascendant and the Progressed Sun’s ruler</strong>: for example if your natal Ascendant is Capricorn, we know that Saturn is the ruler of your natal chart; it’s the planet in your chart that you operate from. When your progressed Ascendant moves into Aquarius, your energy will shift, and Uranus’s placement in the natal chart will enjoy a greater focus.</p>\r\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">The same is true for the Sun’s ruler. If your Sun is in Pisces, Neptune’s position in your natal chart will have a great influence on you. When the progressed Sun moves into Aries, your energy shifts, and Mars’s placement in your natal chart will become more influential.</p>\r\n<strong>Home assignment: </strong>Investigate the Progressed Moon, Sun and Ascendant in your own chart.

In all cases, our original wounding and its related issues will surface, depending on our own consciousness level -- we will respond to the resurfacing of “old” wounds either with love/compassion or with fear/guilt/anger/resentment.If we have brought healing into our lives prior to this cycle, it will be a time of completion and peace -- deep down, we know that we would not be who we are, if we hadn’t gone through what we went through. This can also be a time of great gratitude for all that was given to us – including the wounding. This is a beginning of a new cycle: We have the opportunity to move to deeper levels of healing and higher levels of consciousness (Age 50-51).</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>Remember: Transiting Chiron through the houses will bring up our wounds and issues around the affairs of <em>that particular house</em>.</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>What is Uranus’s energy all about?</strong>\r\n\r\nUranus is: The Awakener to Higher Consciousness, the Liberator. It’s about breaking away from social structures &amp; traditions, becoming true to our individual Selves -- freedom, vision for a brighter future, insights, and rebellion.\r\n\r\nUranus is connected to the nervous system, to mental stimulation through ideas and new information. Itbrings originality, stimulates change, progress and evolution (globally and individually):excitement, unpredictability, upheavals, outbursts, chaos, disruptions, and independence.\r\n\r\nWhere Saturn slows down our inner clock, in order to persuade us to face reality, Uranus speeds up our tempo so we consider taking risks and making changes.\r\n\r\n<strong>Uranus cycles between Transiting Uranus and Natal Uranus:</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>Opening square (90degrees): </strong>We are readyto break away from what’s familiar -- time for change, a different lifestyle.This leads us into whatever life experience will help us grow in the direction the Soul has chosen – it can start anywhere from ages 18 –21 andis the beginning of our individuation process.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Opposition (180 degrees): </strong>brings profound changes,:Whatever life situation we find ourselves in at this point, if it is not in alignment with our true individual expression of ourselves, we will need to make some changes.We are breaking away from “old” structures and traditions that no longer serve our highest expression of ourselves and must find our own way.In other words, we need to do things differently than before -- this is a time of decision: “what is the second half of my life going to look like?”Be sure tomake internal changes, rather than external ones only;if we only make changes on an external level, it may backfire. This process can start anywhere from age 38-42.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Closing Square (270 degrees): </strong>This is our last stage of individuation; it is connected to freeing ourselves from the fear of dying, so we can continue living.We need a new approach to living as we move closer to our Uranus Return.Spiritual retreats, workshops, courses, and working towards a bigger goal/brighter future for humanity: all of these bring us closer to our Soul’s Path.In this phase of life, we move towards being one of the “wise ones”. This process starts around age 63.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>New Uranus cycle (conjunction) aka Uranus Return (0 degrees): </strong>Here, we are able to let go of caring about what anyone else thinks of us.Depending on how much we were able to honor our own individuation process leading up to the Uranus return, this will either be because we have lost our marbles, or because we feel utterly and completely comfortable with our self-expression and ourselves.If that’s the case, we have no regrets; we have been able to share our light and brilliance with the world at large. Weare ready to leavea world that is the better for us having lived. Nothing scares or surprises us anymore. This cycle begins around age 84.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>Transiting Uranus on the Angles: </strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>Ascendant (1<sup>st</sup> house cusp): </strong>we seem different to those who know us, more nervous or easily excited -- we take on the qualities of Uranus. This transit may indicate sudden changes in lifestyle, career, relationships or where we live.We open up to new ideas, opportunities, concepts, places, people(as we feel identified with the Uranus energy)This transit requires that we change,that we make progress in our lives: a new career perhaps, or a whole new approach to life, new attitudes, new physical appearance, etc.This gives us a chance to let go of being overly protective of ourselves and become more outgoing -- we are breaking free from the expectations of others, we’re more spontaneous (and perhaps a little rebellious). Freedom of personal expression is immensely important to us now.There is also a new beginning/approach in regards to Uranus’s natal position, by sign and house.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>IC (4<sup>th</sup> House cusp): </strong>we start to break away from family traditions.We mayalso move into a different home, or reinvent our way of living – for example, we might move from the city to the country, or vice versa.We want to change how we feel about our childhood experiences, so we might rebel against past structures or rules, or break away from family relationships.We might act unpredictably with family or people we live with, or experience unpredictability around us,via a parent or family member.We want to make rapid progress in our home environment and careers – and are prone to accidents in the home, especially if we are not conscious of our faster energies and nervous behaviors. Likewise, decision-making can be very hasty now; we definitely feel the need for action -- but if we don\'t know where we’re headed, we might take the wrong turn. Unexpected changes in plans or events can test our patience --we could feel a bit out of control at this time -- it is advisable to stay as grounded as possible.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Descendent (7<sup>th</sup> House cusp):</strong>This is the time to create some space in our one-on-one partnerships. We want to make progress with the people in our lives, share our vision with them -- and if they don’t share our vision, we usually want to break free. Partnerships may need to change -- we are getting a chance to break away from “old” relationship structures and habits that no longer serve us on an individual level. We might also experience a difference in behavior with our life- or business-partner, forcing us to adapt to their new ways of being. It’s a time when we need to feel equal to our partners -- we need to be able to be more open and more trusting in our relationships – and if this can’t be achieved we usually leave (or they leave us).</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>MC (10<sup>th</sup> House cusp):</strong>Here, our world image changes -- what we expect from society and what we want to accomplish might shift.We are yearning for progress in the world at large.Our long-term goals might change quite suddenly -- this is an unusual time, it is best to be flexible and be open to all sorts of opportunities, since we never know when something might come our way that inspires something new in us. Impulsive decision-making that is built upon our desire to be a free spirit could be quite common.We may recognize talents that we never knew we had; this can be a sudden, exciting discovery. As you can imagine, we may bring unusual, unorthodox approaches to our profession at this time.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>Home assignment: </strong>\r\n\r\nInvestigate the relationship between your:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Transiting and Natal Chiron</li>\r\n 	<li>Transiting and Natal Uranus</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nAlso:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>See if you can relate to any of the Chiron or Uranus cycles right now (or from the past)</li>\r\n 	<li>Is Uranus near one of your natal angles (AC, IC, DC, MC)?</li>\r\n 	<li>What house does Chiron currently occupy?</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAlways feel free to give me your Feedback.

We experience not only our individual journey with Neptune and Pluto transits, these are very much connected to the Soul’s Journey.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>Remember:</strong> Always look to the natal position of a planet (by sign, house and its aspects)to determine how a cycle or transit plays out for you personally.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>What is Neptune’s energy all about?</strong>\r\n\r\nNeptune is the “Dissolver of Boundaries”. This is the energy of our spiritual Self, it connects us to our higher Selves (our intuition/sensing, the Universe, the“all that is”).It gives us an experience of oneness and being fully present with all that is. It is:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Universal love &amp; wisdom</li>\r\n 	<li>Global compassion</li>\r\n 	<li>Understanding&amp; forgiveness</li>\r\n 	<li>Our ideals and dreams</li>\r\n 	<li>Communion with others.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nIt is a highly creative and sensitive energy that helps us dissolve old energy patterns (emotional patterns, usually) that are no longer serving our Soul’s development. We have faith, because on a Soul level we know that everything is“as it needs to be” at all times.Allowing this process of dissolving and letting go is therefore in the highest service to our Soul’s Journey.\r\n\r\nIf we have a hard time tapping into the higher vibrations of this energy (or if we simply resist it), the lower vibration of this energy may show up as:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Chaos</li>\r\n 	<li>Confusion</li>\r\n 	<li>Delusion</li>\r\n 	<li>Fear</li>\r\n 	<li>Escapism of all kinds (drugs, alcohol, sex, work, withdrawal from the world, fantasies/illusions, etc.)</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nWhere Uranus asks us to break away from the “old”, Neptune asks us to dissolve boundaries, so we can experience oneness. Uranus is about divine intelligence, Neptune is about divine love.\r\n\r\n<strong>Neptune cycles between Transiting Neptune and Natal Neptune:</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>Opening square (90 degrees):</strong>As Neptune’s influence is very subtle and dreamlike,we may not always be aware of its message. This cycle is a turning point in our lives in regards to our dreams and our spiritual connection to the Universe and ourselves. We may need to make adjustments at this time in regards to our ideals and dreams. Something is dissolving, because it is no longer of service to our Soul’s Journey. Developing faith and trusting the process is essential. This process can start anywhere from ages 35-42.</li>\r\n 	<li><strong>Opposition (180 degrees</strong>): brings profound spiritual changes: If we find ourselves in a life situation that is not in alignment with our higher Selves, something will start to dissolve. This is a great time to connect to spirituality in some shape or form, as we are getting closer to facing death, and the reunion with other Souls on a spirit level. Getting in touch with our higher Selves will bring faith and hope into our next chapter.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nWithout that spiritual connection, we are most likely going to escape by withdrawing from the world, out of fear of having to face death and dying. In other words, we need to develop a spiritual consciousness at this point in our lives in order to be able to live and keep fulfilling on our Soul’s Journey. Slowing down, having faith and going with the flowis also part of this process. This process can start anywhere from age 82-84.\r\n\r\n<strong>Remember: </strong>Transiting Neptunemoving through the houses will bring up whatever needs dissolving, whatever is no longer serving our Soul’s desire for oneness. It will do soin connection with the affairs of <em>that particular house</em>.As Neptune enters or leaves one of the houses, we feel its impact on that particular house moststrongly (5 degree orb on the angles, 2 degree orb on all other house cusps).\r\n\r\n<strong>Transiting Neptune on the Angles: </strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>Ascendant (1<sup>st</sup> house cusp): </strong>With this transit, we may start to feel an energy shift in our bodies.It may feel as if we are on drugs. However,if we are able to have faith and simply go with the flow, if we can let go of our ego desires, we are going to develop a great sense of compassion and the ability to be of service to others in a universal way. This may be through creative or spiritual endeavors or through projects that serve people or animals in need.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThis is a great time to develop our intuitive side and connect to our heart.As we let go of fears and attachments, we connect more fully to a higher order -- and the Universe at large.\r\n\r\nThere is also a new beginning/approach in regards to Neptune’s natal position, by sign and house.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>IC (4<sup>th</sup> House cusp): </strong>We are able to look back on our early childhood andfree ourselves from the emotional bonds of the past by dissolving any memories that were holding us back. We are developing a great sense of intuition in our home and the people we live with. We may want to incorporate spiritual rituals with our family or ourselves at home.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nWater can be very healing to us at this time -- baths, fountains, etc. Again, our energy might be less vivacious; we are learning to slow down, in order to be more present to our intuition and our own senses.\r\n\r\n<strong>Descendent (7<sup>th</sup> House cusp): </strong>Relationships that no longer serve our Soul’s Journey need to dissolve;if we allow this process, we can find a new sense of emotional and spiritual connectedness. Usually, the relationships in question are the ones that have already been “dead” for quite a while.\r\n\r\nWe are looking for romance with a partner or a spiritual connection. We may see people as we wish they were, not as they are -- we see their highest potential, denying their flaws and their humanity – and so may be disappointed.\r\n\r\nBringing compassion and understanding to our one-on-one relationships is a great vehicle forbringing us closeness and oneness with others. Our ability to forgive others is also enhanced.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>MC (10<sup>th</sup> House cusp): </strong>This is our time to follow our dreams.We are better off making decisions around long-term goals that come from an intuitive place or that serve a higher good. We are able to go beyond what we previously thought was possible -- especially if we are not chasing an empty dream.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nWe may need to let go of long-term goals that are no longer in alignment with our spiritual path or higher Self. We may also need todissolve how the public sees us; resisting this may cause us to feel lost or disappointed in the world.\r\n\r\n<strong>What is Pluto’s energy all about?</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Pluto</strong> is the planet associated with\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Our Soul Purpose</li>\r\n 	<li>The process of Empowerment (our ability to feel empowered from within)</li>\r\n 	<li>Our deepest Passions.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nIt is also associated with transformation, including our ability to transform darkness into light. “Transformation” could also include death and rebirth (not necessarily physical death).\r\n\r\nPluto brings repressed energies to the surface; it’s about:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Emotional truth/authenticity</li>\r\n 	<li>Passion</li>\r\n 	<li>Divine will</li>\r\n 	<li>Purpose &amp; power</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>Pluto’s cycles between Transiting Pluto and Natal Pluto:</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>Opening square (90degrees):</strong>We are experiencing a turning point; we have a chance to make deep changes in our lives.If we surrender to the process,it helps us feel more empowered and connected to inner passions.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nIfwe choose to resist those changes, try to hold on to our past, we may succeed for quite a while, but at a high price:Heaviness and a sense of being disempowered. For as long as we hold on, life circumstances will continue to occur, that eventually bring about that deep change anyway -- we will need to let go and surrender sooner or later: Higher power and divine will demands it.\r\n\r\nThis process helps us to get in touch with our inner strength and passion for life and what we came here to do. At its best, we find our life’s purpose and start moving towards making a meaningful difference for ourselves and others (collectively and individually). This process can be the beginning of empowering ourselves and everyone around usvia the ability to transform our lives.\r\n\r\n<strong>Remember: </strong>As Pluto transits through any given house, it will bring up our relationship to power, and how we can make a difference in the world, as it relates to the affairs of <em>that particular house</em>. As Pluto enters or leaves one of the houses, its strongest impact will be felt on that particular house (5 degree orb on the angles, 2 degree orb on all other house cusps).\r\n\r\n<strong>Transiting Pluto on the Angles: </strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>Ascendant (1<sup>st</sup> house cusp):</strong>This transit is some kind of rebirth -- our personality transforms and we are getting strongly identified with Pluto’s energies: We are no longer who we used to be. It can be quite intense.We need to get in touch with what we feel truly passionate about and follow those urges; if we don’t, we may experience strong feelings surfacing from deep below. Anything that we have suppressed is ready to come up now and be expressed in a powerful way.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nWe will also get in touch with the process of empowerment. We need to connect to our own inner power and use it in a way that serves others and us. We may need to stand up for ourselves in a powerful way -- or perhaps need to follow our own inner drive to get to a place that feel right to us. We may become aware of how powerful we are -- and how to use this power in a way that serves us. We also have a desire to make a difference in the world now -- and we want to connect to personal goals that have a deeper meaning to us.\r\n\r\nPluto transits are internal processes. If we are not consciously aware of Pluto’s power, we may experience it on an external level in a way that forces us to go within and tap into our inner power and strength. Pluto is all about getting rid of what is dead within us; anything that is no longer authentic, or that doesn’t makes us feel alive and turned on, needs to go. Ask yourself: What about my personality or my physical appearance is no longer making me feel alive?Know and embrace the very depth of who you are.\r\n\r\nThere is also a new beginning/approach in regards to Pluto’s natal position, by sign and house.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>IC (4<sup>th</sup> House cusp): </strong>A deep transformation around childhood issues occurs:We are ready to bring to the surface anything that felt disempowering to us as a child -- and we have the opportunity to transform it, by taking our power back.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nWe may experience power struggles in our home or with family members. If we open our hearts and tap into our inner strength, we can start to embrace our own fears and resistances towards others. Getting in touch with our inner experience is very important at this time. The power of our feelings becomes apparent very quickly here, as does how they can transform both ourselvesand others. Embrace all of your feelings:They are showing you powerful needs.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>Descendent (7<sup>th</sup> House cusp):</strong>This transit puts us in touch with powerful experiences in our one-on-one relationships. We are going to feel particularly empowered or disempowered by others; this willeither bring us to the point where we own our inner power, or to reflect back to us how powerfully another person can impact us. Through powerful exchanges we get to embrace ourselves more fully. We are being transformed by another person (this could be our partner); weare being transformed together.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThe concept of partnerships transforms completely during this transit. If this doesn’t occur, some relationshipswill simply end. This is a great time to embrace your partnerships fully and completely: They hold the mirror to your own inner workings.\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><strong>MC (10<sup>th</sup> House cusp):</strong>Here, our “image”needs to transform. Our career must resonate with us on a deep level.We need to feel empowered by our long-term goals; if we don’t, we have a choice: Make a deep change, or have change forced upon us.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nWe are getting an opportunity here:To get in touch with what we feel truly passionate about. Again: This is an internal process; we need to follow our deepest desires. Fear is the one thing that could hold us back…But this process is most definitelyone of empowerment,with regards to what we have to offer to the world.\r\n\r\n<strong>Home assignment: </strong>\r\n\r\nInvestigate the relationship between your:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Transiting and Natal Neptune</li>\r\n 	<li>Transiting and Natal Pluto</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nAlso:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Is Neptune or Pluto near one of your natal angles (AC, IC, DC, MC)?</li>\r\n 	<li>What house doesNeptune and Pluto currently occupy?</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAlways feel free to give me your Feedback.

This is the time for internalizing and going within –a highly intuitive time. It’s a great time to set intentions for the coming month.\r\n\r\nThe <strong>Full Moon</strong>(Opposition) is when we would try to actually accomplish the things that were started on a New Moon. That’s when we look to external events or things beyond our control -- an extroverted time. Something is being worked through within a relationship, we have to communicate something, or we have to find a balance between two polarities.\r\n\r\n<strong>Pay attention to:</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Houses that the Sun and Moon are transiting in our natal chart.</li>\r\n 	<li>Aspects the Sun and Moon are making to our natal planets</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nNow, let’s go back to the Eclipses:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>In what house does the eclipse fall in your natal chart? The affairs of that house will be activated.</li>\r\n 	<li>Does the eclipse fall on a planet in your natal chart? That planet will also be activated.</li>\r\n 	<li>The sign of the eclipse will likely play a role in the events that the eclipse will trigger.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nEclipses often bring about crises, leading to significant events or changes; those changes are usually necessary to bring us back to our Soul’s Journey and help us move to the next level in our Soul’s evolution.\r\n\r\nChanges are tied to Eclipses, but we are usually the ones who precipitate or attract those changes: On a Soul level, we know we need it.\r\n\r\n<strong>Retrogrades, Stations and Shadows</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>What is a retrograde phase?</strong>\r\n\r\nDuring a retrograde, a planet appear to be moving backwards in the sky. \"Appears\" is the key word here, because no planet actually moves backwards in their orbits around the Sun;it doesn’t even slow down. The “retrograde motion”is essentially an illusion that we see from Earth, because we are orbiting the Sun at a different speed than the other planets.\r\n\r\nEnergetically speaking, however, the retrograde phases are very powerful.They ask us to tap into the retrograde planet’s energy from within. This gives us a change to digest and review that particular energy, taking some time out from external inputs or experiences.\r\n\r\n<strong>Mercury</strong> turns retrograde more frequently than any other planet – three or even four times a year, for roughly 3 weeks each time. It can never be more than 28 degrees from the Sun,;whenever it reaches its furthest distance from the Sun, it changes direction.\r\n\r\nAs the planet of communication, Mercury retrograde tends to breed a certain level of confusion. Mercury rules our \"everyday\" mind--how we perceive and interpret information that we receive from our environment, how we relay that information to others.\r\n\r\nMercury rules such things as speaking, negotiating, buying and selling, listening, formal contracts, documents, travel, the mail and shipping, and so forth. All of these areas of life are affected when Mercury is retrograde.\r\n\r\n<strong>Venus</strong> is Retrograde for approximately 40-43 days, every 18 months. As the planet of love, relationships, values and self-worth, Venus retrograde periods are when we reassess what (and who) we value.\r\n\r\n<strong>Mars</strong> is Retrograde approximately 58-81 days every 2+ years: When Mars is in its retrograde cycle, we are being asked to reassess our current projects, approach to getting what we want, and our desire nature. Rather than directly asserting our desires, we tend towards introspection.\r\n\r\n<strong>The social and outer planets are retrograde for 4-6 months out of the year; their stations are therefore more impactful than the retrograde cycle itself.</strong>They also station for a much longer period of time than our personal planets.\r\n\r\nNote that the <strong>Sun</strong> and the <strong>Moon</strong> never retrograde.\r\n\r\n<strong>What happens when a planet stations?</strong>\r\n\r\nA station is defined from the point of view of us, here on Earth:A planet appears to stop moving across the sky. Next, the planet appears to move slowly in the opposite direction from its usual motion; at this point the planet is considered to be “Stationary Retrograde” (SRx). When the planet next makes a Station, then begins to go “forward” again, we say it has gone“Stationary Direct” (SD).\r\n\r\nWhen social or outer planets come to a halt, their energy becomes more “exalted”. Whatever that planet represents on an energetic level,we will feel more strongly.If the planet is retrograde and about to go direct, we will feel it internally; if it is slowing down to go retrograde, we will experience it more in the “outside” world. The planet’s energy is “in our face” to create an awareness of its energy and there by help us integrate its energy more fully.\r\n\r\nLet’s take an example -- a Neptune Station in this case:\r\n\r\nNeptune\'s energies are exalted during its station. Neptune represents things like universal love, our inner divinity, and our emotional body. It also represents creativity, spirituality, illusion, oneness, escapism of all kinds, imagination, compassion, faith and inspiration.\r\n\r\nWe start to be more aware of these energies within us; awareness leads to a deeper connection, which leads to our embracing them –ideally,the final result is that we can access and use these energies in a healthy way, without getting lost in the lower vibrations of their expression.\r\n\r\nIf you have a Pisces Sun- or Rising-sign, you will always feel the Neptune stations more strongly than others;this is true for all of our Sun-signs and Rising-signs:Should the ruler(s) of the Sign(s) station and change directions, we will feel it quite strongly.\r\n\r\n<strong>What are shadow phases?</strong>\r\n\r\nRetrograde shadow phases are longer periods of time --they encompass the entire period of the zodiac degrees affected by the retrograde.\r\n\r\nThere are always two \"shadow\" phases:\r\n<ol>\r\n 	<li>The planet travels over ground it will later revisit in the retrograde phase (in other words, the first shadow comes just before it moves backward).</li>\r\n 	<li>It travels over ground it has already visited twice, when it starts to catch back up -- just like in life, if you backtrack, you have some catching up to do and will see the same scenery twice or more. It’s the same with shadow phases and retrogrades: The same energies will be \"coming up\" more than once.</li>\r\n</ol>\r\nMercury was Retrograde in the sign of Scorpio from October 21st to November 10th, 2013.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https://astrologercoach.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Untitled.png\" width=\"792\" height=\"222\" />\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">01 Oct 2013 06:45 am 02SC29\' MERCURY Enters Rx Shadow\r\n21 Oct 2013 06:22 am 18SC24\'Rx MERCURY Stationary Retrograde\r\n10 Nov 2013 04:08 pm 02SC29\' MERCURY Stationary Direct\r\n27 Nov 2013 03:35 am 18SC24\' MERCURY Leaves Rx Shadow</p>\r\n<strong>Powerful degrees:</strong>\r\n\r\nAs we already learned in the Natal chart, there are two very powerful degrees that also apply to Transits and Progressions:\r\n<ol>\r\n 	<li>When a planet moves into 0 degree of a sign, whether by transit or progression, it occupies a new energy for the first time. Therefore there is an enthusiasm and a sense of newness with that energy –it is exalted.</li>\r\n 	<li>When a planet moves into 29 degrees of a sign (again, by transit or progression), it enters the last degree of a sign, before moving into a new sign. Therefore there is an all-or-nothing/now-or never feel to that energy. That last hurrah before it leaves that particular sign also makes it exalted.</li>\r\n</ol>\r\nIt’s always good to pay attention to any planets moving through 0 or 29 degrees.\r\n\r\nA couple of things to bear in mind here:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>By Transit, the focus is more on the social and outer planets</li>\r\n 	<li>By Progression, the focus is more on the personal planets. Occasionally, we may see an outer planet switch from 29 to 0 degrees by progression – rare, but it can be extremely powerful</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<strong>Home assignment: </strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Where did the last Lunar and Solar Eclipse take place in your birth chart?</li>\r\n 	<li>When (and where) do planets station in your chart? Are any of the stationing planets the ruler of your Sun-sign?

We will do our very best to make the experience wonderful for you; in the event that you remain unsatisfied, you will receive a full refund (we\'re proud to say that so far, this has never happened).\r\n<h3>One-on-One Sessions (Readings, Coaching &amp; Tutoring Services)</h3>\r\n<b>How it Works:<i> </i></b>Sonja conducts all of her one-on-one sessions via video chat or phone, allowing you to work with her wherever you are on the planet. Video chat platforms she uses include currently Skype, FaceTime and zoom.\r\n\r\n<b>Rescheduling: </b>Sonja needs at least 24 hours notice if you need to reschedule -- after that, a new purchase is required.\r\n\r\n<b>Cancellations: </b>Once you have made an appointment, you may reschedule it within the terms of service (see above), but no refund is offered for outright cancellation.\r\n<h3>Membership Terms of Use</h3>\r\nBy purchasing membership products, you agree not to share your log in details (such as passwords, usernames , etc.) with anyone else. You also agree not to reprint, republish, repost, or otherwise distribute , or transmit content or images presented on this site.

To upgrade, downgrade, pause or cancel, simply visit your account profile and change your membership status.\r\n\r\nCancelling your membership will result in the immediate loss of all products and privileges -- if you think you might come back at some point, we recommend you \"Pause\" your membership instead. This is especially true for membership levels that provide content delivered at specific intervals. Pausing such an account will allow you to pick up where you left off when you \"un-pause\"; at that time, you will also receive any content that would have been made available to you in the interim.\r\n\r\n<strong>Membership Changes (Yearly Plans): </strong>Annual Subscribers are granted widespread and immediate access to content, in some cases including download privileges. As such, purchases of such plans are only refundable within 24 hours of purchase.\r\n<h3>Changes to Terms of Service</h3>\r\nAs most online communities do, we reserve the right to modify or replace these Terms of Service at any time, without notice.

I could definitely feel the Eclipse energies... and self-care was soooo very needed.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<b>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have an important announcement:\r\n</b>Good news!

I have been working on this for quite a while, and I am so excited that the day has finally come that I can introduce this to all of you!

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday</strong><b> afternoon</b>, our focus intensifies -- we might even get a little obsessed with a project or task -- as best as you can, take breaks and don\'t forget to practice a little self-care ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday evening,</strong> we get the opportunity to investigate our deepest motivations and align them with our long-term goals and achievements (if we are awake at this time, of course). We are capable of great focus for the next couple of hours. As with all opportunities in life, this one is not simply handed to us, we have to make something of it. Might deeper perspectives into your psyche move you closer to long-term goals?\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday (Feb. 13<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> <i>the Moon remains in practical, </i><i>accomplishment-oriented</i><i> </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> <b>until 10:11am EST</b> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday very early morning,</b> <b>at 12:43am EST,</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for about 9.5 hours, <b>until 10:11am EST</b>.You may be aware of two seemingly conflicting desires: On the one hand, a need for serious, diligent accomplishment -- and on the other, a desire to break free and rebel against obligations.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take some breaks, and \"let your freak flag fly\" -- just for a moment -- and revel in it! As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your morning ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday at 10:11 am EST</b> <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> where it will be <b>until Thursday evening</b>. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday early evening</b> a <i>challenging Mercury/Jupiter aspect</i> becomes exact at 5:39 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from</b> <b>Sunday and it will be strong until Thursday. </b>This aspect asks that we grow and evolve in the following areas: how we communicate our vision for the future and how much we share with others. We may have to find creative solutions to communicate; we may have to learn about our thinking process and conditioning.\r\n\r\nWe want to share ourselves without limitation. We are thus inclined to exaggeration, often unintended -- and might struggle to transform ideas into reality. The upside to all this: we can be extraordinarily funny, interesting and creative.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday </b><i>an opportune Sun/Uranus aspect</i><b> </b>becomes exact at 9:23pm EST. <b>We started to feel this aspect Sunday evening on, and it will be strong until Thursday night. </b>We have the opportunity to become aware of an original or unique approach to life. Flexibility is the key to success at this time; pleasant changes may be in store -- certainly unexpected ones ;-)\r\n\r\nWhat is your uniqueness? How could you express that proudly and authentically? As best as you can, watch out for messages from the Universe! Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us: We have to \"realize\" it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo</i></b><i> or</i><b><i> Aquarius </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday (Feb. 14<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> (Valentine’s Day) <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>all day</b> (see Tuesday late morning for details)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday morning</strong> is an opportunity to connect with others and explore actively the things that can bring us progress.\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday </b>is also the <i>last day before the Solar Eclipse in</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact. There is some potent energy coming our way; it would be wise to prepare ourselves to be transformed by it, allowing for our consciousness upgrade to be installed.\r\n\r\nThis is a good time to slow things down and go within. For many of us, this will be a stretch, as we want to do just the opposite: jump the gun, get started with something new, act impulsively, etc. This is quite common right before a Solar Eclipse. As best as you can, stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions and connect to your inner wisdom.\r\n\r\nIt comes down to this: just for now and just as best as you can... could you simply allow what is... to be? Could you simply be the “observer” until the upgrade is complete?\r\n\r\nRather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing things. Think back to late Aug. 2017 -- the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo. What did you start around then? How could you complete it, or move it to the next level?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take the days immediately before and after the Eclipse for meditation, contemplation, journaling — anything that supports an objective understanding of your own thoughts and visions.\r\n\r\nOf course if, like most of us, you have other obligations: take 5-minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, get quiet and be with yourself (i.e. your inspirational Self, your higher mind). Ask yourself: What might become possible if you gave this to yourself on a regular basis?\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday (Feb. 15<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>) </b>is a big day! <i>The Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>until 9:42pm EST</b> (see Tuesday late morning for details)\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday morning</b> an <i>opportune Mercury/Uranus aspect</i> becomes exact at 10:07am EST. <b>We started to feel this from aspect from Wednesday on, and it will be strong until Friday</b>.This is an opportunity to connect our thinking and communication to a brighter, more collaborative vision for the future.\r\n\r\nIt also brings an opportunity for insight, novelty, and some really unusual conversations. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to realize it.\r\n\r\nThis aspect also brings an opportunity to view things from a different perspective or put a new spin on \"old\" thinking. We like to connect in unusual ways; any group activities or brainstorming with like-minded people could generate amazing insights -- this might be a busy day. As best as you can, or want to... stay open to other dimensions ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> <i>(Mercury is the ruler of Virgo and Gemini; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\nOn <b>Thursday at 4:05pm EST, </b><i>a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse in 27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> becomes exact. </i>This is the beginning of both a new Moon cycle and an Eclipse cycle.  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\nEclipses take place approximately every 6 months; <i>Solar Eclipses</i> are extra-powerful New Moons that end one 19-year cycle and begin another — the last Solar Eclipse in this same degree of Aquarius was back on Feb. 16th, 1999. We are likely to experience a resonance between now and that time — \"resonant\", rather than identical — so think back to the Spring of 1999:\r\n\r\nWere there any major endings and beginnings? What was important back then? If there were a call this time to take those priorities to the next level… Where would that next level find you?\r\n\r\nIf you\'re looking for more guidance on those questions, I would suggest taking a look at your Natal Chart: the House placement of the Eclipse will indicate which area of life is the readiest for a new level of consciousness.\r\n\r\nIf that idea appeals, I suggest checking out my <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">30-minute class, \"How to Read My Birth Chart”</a> -- you might also want to purchase the video of the most recent <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">Forecasting Forum</a> -- we looked directly at our own birth charts to see how this Solar Eclipse will affect each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar, available <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">on my website</a>).\r\n\r\nOr...\r\n\r\n<b>Get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, <b>plus</b> a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\r\n\r\nAlthough we have experienced several Eclipses in the Leo/Aquarius polarity since last year, this will be the <i>first Solar Eclipse in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>. This points to a new beginning of some sort, with the visionary Aquarian energy impacting the area of life indicated by its house placement in our individual birth charts.\r\n\r\nSolar Eclipses reveal pathways that can take us to the next level of our evolution. They herald shifts in consciousness; the shift connected with this particular Eclipse will unfold over the next 6 months.\r\n\r\nThe Sun and Moon are connected to one of the Moon Nodes during an Eclipse; in this case, the South Node -- and <i>South Node Eclipses</i> can help us release energies or attachments that no longer serve our Soul’s evolution. Again, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">feel free to check out my webinar about the Eclipses</a> to see where this new beginning and next level of your Soul\'s evolution takes place for you.\r\n\r\nEclipses are Uranian in nature; as such, they are times of uncertainty -- so pretty much anything could happen <b>between now and the end of Eclipse season (Feb. 25th).</b>\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, stay both grounded <i>and</i> flexible — and don\'t jump the gun: If you feel compelled to do something, do your best to simply observe the urge. The exception might be something that happens organically -- but if you are ambivalent about a possible action, better hold off at least until the end of Eclipse Season (Feb. 25th).\r\n\r\nEclipses bring major endings and beginnings. As best you can, trust that whatever is leaving is making space for something better -- the more willing we are to change, the easier it will be.\r\n\r\nThat said, projects and interactions that got underway prior to Eclipse season (i.e. before Jan. 21st) are another matter -- don’t stop your life just because it is Eclipse season ;-) Pay attention also to anything that got started at the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo, in August of last year.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Do I have a better understanding of what brings me joy? Am I more courageous and self-expressed?\r\n\r\nWith the <i>Solar Eclipse</i> in <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>, we have our eye on the future. The highest vibration of Aquarius gives us the opportunity to see a clear vision for our life -- and we are ready to make huge improvements.\r\n\r\n<strong>Aquarius</strong> also deals with the power of ideals, technology, and inventions. We are interested in the collective focus on changing group consciousness; we strive for equality, collaboration, progress. This eclipse invites us to bring this higher vibration to our ability to be courageous and joyful in our own right.\r\n\r\n<i>South Node Eclipses</i> invite us to become aware of the lower vibrations of a sign, so we can release those energies or attachments that no longer serve our evolution, and move toward the higher vibration of the sign -- in this case, that would obviously be Aquarius -- so what do the lower Aquarian vibrations look and feel like?\r\n\r\nAt a lower <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, we feel like outsiders -- as though we don\'t fit in, are maybe a little <i>too</i> different. We want to rebel against social structures that don\'t fit with our vision.\r\n\r\nWe get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not take responsibility for our part in the collective -- when we do not honor our individual genius, our unique contribution to society or our communities. Ask yourself:\r\n\r\nWhat stops me from connecting to my inner genius? What if I allowed myself to be both different <i>and</i> connected to others? What if taking responsibility for \"how things are\" was the perfect jump-start for a better future?\r\n\r\nTo move even further into that higher <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, try also asking yourself the following questions: Where am I called to make a difference? What could I, as an individual, do for humanity? And how might group consciousness help humanity make progress? Where can I begin?\r\n\r\nEvery single one of us has a special gift, a spark unique to us; when we access our inner genius and share it with the world, we can make quantum leaps of insight and embark on remarkable collaborations with others. Ask yourself: How does my inner genius communicate? Where does it want to show up?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) currently in <strong>Aries</strong>, sextiles the Sun, Moon, and Mercury in <strong>Aquarius</strong>. </i>This is a tremendous opportunity for all of us to become more aware of our individual impact on the collective: We are all agents of change. Already. Always.\r\n\r\nRight now, our individual capacity to effect change is far greater than we realize — especially for those of us with Uranus, Aquarius, or 11th house planets strongly emphasized in our birth chart — and when we team up with others who also care deeply about creating a better future, we can create real change.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How can I inspire others to foster progress? What becomes possible when we all connect with the intention to create meaningful change for everyone? For all living things?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong> squares the Solar Eclipse, sextiles Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, and trines Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong>. </i>This combo invites us to stretch ourselves for the duration of this Eclipse cycle -- to grow beyond what we currently know ourselves to be -- it supports our ability to build a more meaningful future and allows us to engage more fully in our current healing process.\r\n\r\nHere\'s a good start: We all have \"survival tactics\" we formed in response to past circumstances. Ask yourself: What if I expanded my awareness and comprehension of my personal survival tactics by just 5%? What might a new perspective on my fears and defenses show me? What if I relentlessly questioned old beliefs about intimate or financial partnerships? What might I discover about what has become true in the meantime? If I genuinely allowed this insight to change my behaviors and expectations, what might that look like?\r\n\r\nAs always when Chiron is involved, aim for wholeness, forgiveness — above all, keep a courageously open heart — our light shines all the brighter when all of our authentic self is visible, even the shadowy parts :-)\r\n\r\n<i>Eclipses</i> are a time for clarifying and affirming our highest path. We are bound to experience a release -- and a recalibration: “old” codes will get deleted and new programming downloaded. This is especially true when connected with our vision for the future (and for the collective).\r\n\r\nSuppressing or denying the unique gifts we each bring to the collective experience is even less wise than before; we are more aware than ever that we <b>are interconnected</b> and thus every single one of us contributes to the human experience and is capable of making a difference on this shared journey.\r\n\r\nSince Eclipse season continues until Feb. 25th, I highly recommend again that you treat yourself to the video of my most recent <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">Forecasting Forum</a> (<a href=\"https://goo.gl/uB8R7j\">https://goo.gl/uB8R7j</a>) -- we covered the Eclipses, including this Solar Eclipse in <b>Aquarius</b>, looking directly at our own birth charts to see how this affects each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">on my website</a>).\r\n\r\nOr...\r\n\r\nYou may recall that I now offer membership plans -- you could <b>get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, plus a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum, by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\r\n\r\n<b>Between now and Feb. 25th</b>, allow for the new templates to download; stay centered and do your best to ground from within. Try using conscious breathing, flexibility -- and best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body… And if nothing else, remember: this won\'t last forever -- in another two weeks, the downloads are complete ;-)  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">Again, I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in one of the following placements: 22-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, Scorpio, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly.</i>\r\n\r\nNow let’s talk “Intentions” :-) Regular readers will know that we usually use the time of the New Moon to set intentions for the coming month.\r\n\r\nWith a Solar Eclipse, we want to <b>wait 48 hours before setting our intentions </b>-- in Saturdays Forecast, I’ll be talking about setting some powerful intentions, not just for the next month as is usual for a New Moon, but for the next <i>six</i> months -- and I\'ll give you the very best times for setting them. <i></i>\r\n<i></i>\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Thursday late afternoon, at 4:05pm EST,</b> at the same time as the New Moon becomes exact, we also enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 6 hours, <b>until 9:42 pm EST</b>. Use this intuitive time to go within and meditate or pray/give thanks/converse with your higher Self.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your Thursday evening ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday evening,  </b><i>an opportune Venus/Saturn aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:19 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday night and it will stay strong until Saturday. </b>This aspect gives us an opportunity to bring a sense of realism to our relationships, values, and financial affairs: We are more able to see what really needs to be dealt with in those areas and take responsibility for our handling of them.\r\n\r\nOn a financial level, we have an opportunity to see more clearly when and how we might make long-term investments. There\'s no need to rush anything; think it through carefully and responsibly -- do the \"due diligence\". Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us, we have to \"take\" it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 4-8 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)</i>.\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday evening at 9:42 pm EST,</b> <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces,</i></b><i> </i>where it will journey <b>until Sunday morning</b>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<b>Friday (Feb. 16<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>) </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <b>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday morning</strong>, we get an opportunity to be wholly present -- and also to focus on practicalities and long-term plans. As best as you can, bring a sense of flow and faith to your business dealings.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning</strong>, we have a chance to connect with other people from our compassionate heart. If we heed intuition and allow for all things to flow freely, we may discover that the Universe is always taking care of us ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late evening,</strong> we feel a need to go within and slow down -- and at the same time, we also want to move fast and have new experiences. This tension clearly invites us to stretch a little, and to seek resolution via creative solutions -- the key here is to listen to our intuition, so we don\'t drive ourselves or others crazy.\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Friday late evening,</strong> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday</strong> is also Chinese New Year. I am not very well-versed in Chinese astrology, so I\'ll just share an excerpt from a newsletter I received last week: \"Today is the start of the Chinese year of the Earth Dog. In Chinese tradition, Earth dogs are faithful, considerate and well-disciplined.\" -- Astro Butterfly\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday (Feb. 17<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>): </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday morning,</b> <i>a challenging Mars/Neptune aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:20 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Sunday evening and it will be strong until next week Thursday morning</b>. This aspect is asking us to stretch ourselves, in order to resolve a tension between the things we want to go after, versus our feelings about a higher, spiritual calling. We may be chasing a dream... or a fantasy.\r\n\r\nOrdinary life may seem drab and uninteresting to us right now. We tend to either over- or underestimate our own power and abilities. We want something that stirs our imagination: Some vision or ideal or dream to motivate us.\r\n\r\nWe have a strong urge to act out our fantasies or live out our dream -- and we have the energy now to DO that which others only talk or dream about -- but we tend to feel scattered. As best as you can, slow down and listen to your intuition before aimlessly zooming ahead. Inspire yourself and others.\r\n\r\n<i>Most impacted by this aspect: those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 10-16 degrees of</i><b><i> Sagittarius, Pisces</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Gemini, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday early morning, </b><i>a Sun/Mercury alignment</i> <i>in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact at 7:27 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday evening on, and it will be strong until next week Tuesday evening. </b>This aspect indicates a confident mind and an analytical approach to life. Intelligence and communication abilities are strong at this time; however, we may not listen as well as the other speaks -- we might be too busy thinking about what to say next.\r\n\r\nGiven that this alignment takes place in <strong>Aquarius</strong>, we may feel particularly cool and collected, detached even -- do your best to avoid arrogance or rigidity of thought.\r\n\r\nWe want an active role in communications -- it\'s very hard for us to passively listen and absorb information right now. What we say or write now is impactful, so choose your words wisely: If people hung on your every word, what would you say then? What would you hold back from saying?\r\n\r\nOur opinions are strong and our thinking independent -- and we\'re proud of both -- so our egos may get bruised if we don\'t feel \"heard\". As best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have a different opinion and that\'s ok.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 26-29 degrees of  </i><strong><i>Aquarius, Leo, Scorpio, Taurus, </i></strong><i>or</i><strong><i> </i></strong><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\">Pisces, Virgo, </b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo, Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday</b><b> afternoon (after 4:05pm EST)</b> is also the best time to set<i> our powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse Intentions</i>. Doing so during a Solar Eclipse is a little different from the regular monthly New Moon process: we are setting those intentions for the whole 6-month Eclipse cycle, rather than just for the next 28 days.\r\n\r\nSo when is the best time to do this? With a Solar Eclipse it is best to wait 48 hours after the Eclipse has been exact before setting any intentions; as always, we also want to avoid any <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> phases.\r\n\r\nThis gives us two \"windows\" for our 6-month intention-setting (all times are EST, which is the New York timezone):\r\n\r\nThe first window is on <b>Saturday, Feb. 17th, between 4:05pm and 5:14pm.</b>\r\n\r\nThe<b> </b>second would be <b>between 7:05am on Sunday, Feb. 18th, and 4:05pm the following day (Monday, Feb. 19th). </b>\r\n\r\nMake them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the <strong>Aquarian</strong> energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nThis Solar Eclipse reminds us that to be fully alive requires us to constantly stretch, grow, and change. So, while writing your intentions, ask yourself: What would it take for me to release old patterns from the past? How might that free me to create a more powerful vision for the future?\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday early evening,</b> <b>at 5:14 pm EST,</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 14 hours, <b>until 7:05 am EST (Sunday morning)</b>. Use this intuitive time to explore any beliefs connected to past experiences that left you feeling disempowered: How could a compassionate approach to the past allow for a new perspective?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your Saturday evening and Sunday early morning ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Late Saturday evening at 11:28 pm EST </b><i>Mercury changes signs from freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> to creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i>.</b> It will journey through Pisces until <b>March 6<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b>. We are moving from the mind into the heart. For these next two weeks, we get a chance to communicate with compassion -- we see the commonalities between us all, rather than what separates us.\r\n\r\nWe seem to be connected to Source more easily during this time -- if we allow that energy to come through -- and our thinking will be very creative, imaginative and intuitive.\r\n\r\nThe key with this energy is to remain in the “here and now” and open up to a higher vibration. If we can do that, we will be able to download information from an intuitive place, rather than thinking things through. This could also be the reason why our mind is slowing down a bit and why we speak more softly.\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> also offers us an opportunity to let go of any mental structures, conditionings or fears that are no longer serving us. If you are not connected to your intuition, you may want to double check with other people, before signing any documents or buying any big-ticket items. Are you ready to connect to your intuition more fully? Can you allow for the unfolding process, trusting your higher Self more fully?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more talkative during this time. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you may need to learn to surrender to a slower pace and connect more fully to your heart and intuition.  </i>\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday (Feb. 18<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>): </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><b> </b>and<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><b> until 7:05am EST.</b>\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday morning at 7:05 am EST </b><i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries,</i></b> where it will remain <b>until Tuesday afternoon</b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday afternoon at 12:18 pm</b> <i>the Sun moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> where it will remain <b>until March 20th. </b>This brings our awareness to our sense of oneness with everyone and everything around us. We feel like sponges, able to pick up all energy around us; this also makes us more sensitive and emotional. We are more drawn towards expressing ourselves in a creative or spiritual way.\r\n\r\nMusic or energy healing gives us vitality and can heighten our own personal vibrations. We need to slow down a little and listen to our intuition more fully -- if we ignore our feelings and the subtle messages we are getting, we will most likely feel more anxious and somewhat frustrated. This could also be connected to the slow pace that our body or our surroundings are demanding of us.\r\n\r\nThe keyword here is \"allowing\": as best as you can, be aware of what you are resisting, moment to moment, and create some space -- allow it to be as it is. Notice when you are picking up someone else\'s feelings rather than your own.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces </i></b><i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, your vitality will depend on allowing things to flow and being gentle with yourself.</i>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\">Last but not least, </span><b>Sunday </b><span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\"><b>after </b></span><b>7:05am EST, </b> you have all day to set your Solar Eclipse <span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\">Intentions. </span>Make them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the <strong>Aquarian</strong> energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly?\r\n\r\nOur Soul\'s purpose, our deepest passion by house and sign, and by the house that has Scorpio on its cusp. Look at the house and sign opposite Pluto\'s placement in your chart, develop that energy and work with that area of your life, so you can feel fully empowered and step into your Soul\'s Purpose\r\n\r\nWhat would it look like, if you were fully aligned with your Soul-purpose? How would it feel?\r\n\r\nAgain, look at the house placement of Pluto and at the ruler of Pluto’s sign in your natal chart (optional: its aspects).

The 1</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">st</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> house is also about beginnings: the beginning of a project, the initial impulse of something new, how we meet people for the first time. The focus is on us: on our self-awareness and our passion for life. It’s time to look at ourselves: how well do we like what we see?</span>\r\n\r\n<b>2</b><b>nd</b><b> House:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is the area of self-worth and self-esteem, the things we value (including our finances and possessions) and our natural talents. Buying beautiful things and celebrating what we already have are at the top of our list. When a planet transits through this house, it is time to look at what we truly value in our lives -- and show others that we value and celebrate ourselves.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>3</b><b>rd</b><b> House:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is the area of early education, communication, short trips, immediate surroundings and day-to-day interactions (think community, neighbors and relatives). It is also connected to our siblings (especially the younger sibling) or people who feel like siblings. The focus is on clear communication: speaking, listening and sharing information. It is time to look at our day-to-day interactions with others to see how well we relate to them.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>4</b><b>th</b><b> House:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is the area of home, family, our inner world (especially inner emotional security and self-image), our past and memories, also of one parent (usually the mother). It is also connected to Real Estate. The focus is on our past: the experiences we had with our family and our home life -- bringing a conscious approach to the effects of the past is top of our list. It is time to look at any behavior patterns that were formed a long time ago to see how well they are working for us.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>5</b><b>th</b><b> House:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is the area of fun, romance, creativity, children (including our inner child) and healthy self-expression. The focus is on joy and coming from our heart; the 5</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is all about expressing ourselves in a creative way and celebrating ourselves as expressive beings. In the same spirit, the 5</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is also about speculation and risk-related activities. It is time to look and see if we are having enough fun and joy in our lives.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>6</b><b>th</b><b> House:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is the area of daily routines: work, work relationships, health and wellbeing habits. The focus is on our \"well-being\". Top of the list: creating order, diligence with work projects. It is time to look at our daily routines and see how well they are working for us. This house is also related to service: being of service, benefitting from the services of others.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>7</b><b>th</b><b> House:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is the area of one-on-one relationships (both personal and business). The focus is on \"others\": creating harmony and equality are top of our list. It is time to look at where we need to create more balance in our lives -- and at how to have fair exchanges with others.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>8</b><b>th</b><b> House:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is the area of intimacy, deep connections, endings-and-beginnings (death and regeneration, both physical and symbolic), power struggles, shared resources and financial matters that include others. The focus is on fully embracing others (and ourselves), connecting on very deep feeling levels, and tapping into what’s below the surface. It’s time to recognize and release habits, behaviors or situations that no longer empower us, so we can connect fully to our passions and life purpose, on an emotional level.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>9</b><b>th</b><b> House:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is the area of philosophy, belief systems, legal matters, higher education and long-distance travel. The focus is on expanding our horizons – possibly by connecting to people from other cultures and/or seeking for the meaning of life (on a mental level). Perhaps ironically, this is also the house of our “in-laws”.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>10</b><b>th</b><b> House:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is the area of our career, our long-term goals, what we want to accomplish in the world – and how we want to be seen by others, by the world (thus social standing and influence). We are building a legacy: something to leave behind for society to remember us by. The focus is on our career goals and on making a commitment to consistent and timely progress. This is the house of authority figures: law enforcement, teachers, bosses, father figures and patriarchs.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>11</b><b>th</b><b> House:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is the area of our future visions – and the wishes and dreams we share with like-minded others around making a better future for all. The focus is on group activities, group causes and networking – think “casual friendships”. If we have an older sibling, this is the relevant house.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>12</b><b>th</b><b> House:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is the area of our subconscious mind and direct connection to Source/God -- anything “otherworldly”. We need alone time and connection to our higher Selves, away from the hustle and bustle of the real world, to forge “ultimate understanding” and oneness with humanity. Our focus is on finishing up a cycle -- leaving behind anything that no longer serves our Soul’s journey on the next cycle of life.</span>\r\n\r\nThe Angular Houses: House 1, 4, 7, and 10:  correspond to the cardinal signs: planets in those houses have a greater desire for action than planets in other houses\r\n\r\nThe Succedent Houses: House 2, 5, 8, and 11: correspond to the fixed signs: planets in those houses tend to give will power and stability of purpose\r\n\r\nThe Cadent Houses: House 3, 6, 9, and 12: correspond to the mutable signs: planets in those houses show our ability to get along with others and our mental expression\r\n\r\nThe Houses of Life: House 1, 5, and 9: correspond to the fire signs: Houses of dynamic energy and enthusiasm\r\n\r\nThe Houses of Substance: House 2, 6, and 10: correspond to the Earth signs: Houses of material and practical manifestations\r\n\r\nThe Houses of Relationships: House 3, 7, and 11: correspond to the Air signs: Houses of intellectual and social inclinations\r\n\r\nThe Houses of Endings: House 4, 8, and 12: correspond to the Water signs: Houses of psychic or subjective phases of human nature, and of emotional nature\r\n\r\n<strong>Home assignment:</strong> Get familiar with the planets that rule your Sun-sign and your Ascendant.\r\n<h3><strong>More Course Materials:</strong></h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Houses-on-chart-drawings.pdf\">Houses on chart drawings</a></li>\r\n 	<li><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Mutual-Reception-example-chart-copy.pdf\">Mutual Reception example chart copy</a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nAlways feel free to give me your Feedback.

Because you respond to life more instinctually, you are one who truly lives in the moment, the past having little to do with the decisions you make today. Your intuitive abilities will give you more direction as opposed to conscious, rational reasoning. Because you need total spontaneity, planning ahead is not your best method of operation and may meet with obstacles. Working best without pre-thinking or an elaborate, organized approach, you can totally plunge into new experiences as long as you have the freedom to explore. You may become confused in complex situations where a specific technique or action is expected of you.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because you were born when there was no light emanating from the Moon, your lesson is to learn your identity, who you are, and how to project it into the world. You may feel that you need to make your mark somewhere this lifetime. Magnetic and shining with personality, many actors and actresses are New Moon people working to project themselves into the spotlight as a career, having the ability to act on impulse and meeting the challenge of the moment. Self centeredness is a necessity for self development. Although the New Moon person needs a certain amount of attention, as the actor needs the audience to project to, the danger that might occur is that this projection is merely the ego bringing itself into view by casting a shadow over everything or everyone else around it. This can cause the alienation of others. It is important to remember your associations are more than the drama or symbology in which that person is involved. In a more refined approach, this projection can take the form of a purpose, or goal, an involvement that is more far reaching than the personal ego. </span>\r\n\r\n<b>CRESCENT PHASE</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, 45 deg - 90 deg</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having passed through the darkness of the new Moon, a sliver of light has just begun to illuminate the path as the Moon embarks on it\'s new cycle.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your greatest challenge is to become independent of belief systems and concepts that are part of the past. This is necessary in order to fully realize selfhood and individuality. Be aware of comfortable ruts and habitual behavior. They represent the chains of the past. As you break free, opportunities will open up to you. The first is the hardest. It may feel as though you are going against the grain. In many ways you are. As you take the initiative to make changes you may find a lot of resistance in those who are used to relating to you in a certain way. They may feel threatened by your breaking from the status quo. By asserting your will and determination you will foster belief in yourself and develop creative new vision. </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<b>FIRST QUARTER PHASE</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 90 deg - 135 deg</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the third phase of Instinctive Action. Action is the essence of this phase, whether it is to clear the way for the idea to manifest, or to bring the essence of the idea into actualized being. You are the one that can always be expected to do the unexpected. Able to arise to the occasion, your innate impulsivity and creative ability thrive in situations that require, simultaneously, quick thinking and action.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may feel your life is characterized by crises that you either find yourself in, or that become crises by the way you handle situations. Constant mental and/or physical movement is a natural state for you to be in as it is necessary in your instinctual approach to tearing down the old to make way for the new. This energy can be applied to the physical world as well as to ideas and concepts i.e. antiquated ways of doing things. Getting the old out of the way is more important to you than the actual building of the new. You know that progress cannot continue by living in or holding onto the past. Because you push in order to keep things moving, you may invite crisis. You can handle it. Survival is something you learn early on. Managerial skills come naturally to you, because you handle crisis so well moment to moment, you can be trusted to manage the new into existence even if there is barely a vague outline of what the new actually is. Your lesson is to manage energy which has been released by crisis and then restructure it into new form in order to get on with business. </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><b>GIBBOUS PHASE</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 135 deg - 180 deg</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Gibbous Phase is a transitional Phase, with the first three phases before it operating at a more instinctual, projective and experiential approach. During the Gibbous Phase, one is growing from instinctual, spontaneous movement, to conscious, deliberate action. This is why \"Analysis\" and \"Growth\" are key words describing this phase.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have a continual urge to make your life something of \"value\". Your constant analysis of how you are growing, where you are going and what you are doing helps you to create meaning in your life promoting a sense of purpose, thus, value. Self growth is important for the purpose of having an efficient operating system with which to be able to contribute to something of a more universal nature. Self revelation is one of the results of your constant questioning and evaluation of your own growth.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a personality, analyzing yourself helps to define yourself. This allows the perfecting and refining of techniques for projecting your identity into the world.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you went into the \"why\" stage of childhood you felt right at home and decided to stay there. You are likely to stand out in any group as you will need to question and understand the structure of any operation you are a part of.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Functioning efficiently is of great importance to you, perfecting what has been created. By understanding the structure of how something works, you are able to identify its working elements and can then implement them into new working patterns, promoting growth for yourself and for others. This is how you perform best. Once you have decided on some plan or course of action, it is hard for you to understand why everyone else doesn\'t do the same. </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<b>FULL MOON PHASE</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 180 deg - 225 deg</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is possible that in the development of your personality there may have been a pull between the mother and father functions in your life and that until you came to a \"conscious realization\" of what you were projecting as an individual, your identity could have been somewhat unstable. It is apparent in your direct and concise manner of speech that you communicate clearly and openly with others. Your interest in astrology goes deeper than most people and this shows your need for meaning in your life.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\"Anything in the Full Moon phase implies an inherent instability in that function UNTIL the person integrates the opposing pulls of the \"parts\" of his personality that make up that total function. He may be torn between two ways of handling things in that part of himself. This happens so that he can come to SOME NEW AWARENESS. The phase also implies that the function is, of itself, perfected as a function. It merely needs a purpose, a meaning, a CONTENT, outside of itself, that the ILLUMINATION the opposing pulls can bring could provide. Instability is the result of NOT integrating two polar forces. When one DOES integrate opposites he has reached a culmination of perfecting complimentary forces, ability to operate for a common goal\". </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><b>DISSEMINATING PHASE</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, 225 deg - 270 deg</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You are a person who will leave a lasting mental impression on those you make contact with. Spreading ideas and information will be successful for you as long as you think before you act. Being born in the second stage of \"conscious operation\" you possess an innate objectivity with an ability to keep your eye on the big picture. It is easy for you to bypass your own ego when communicating with others so that the true essence behind the subject is able to come through. You may have a tendency to get caught up in causes. You may also tend to feel responsible to those you are attempting to enlighten. Remember , you can lead a horse to water, be careful you don\'t end up drinking it for them also. Once you have given the message, let go and know that you have planted the seed and passed the torch. It is now up to the receiver to take the responsibility for the gift of knowledge that has been imparted to them. </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><b>LAST QUARTER PHASE</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 270 deg - 315 deg</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just as it sounds, this is a time of endings, when the energy of the Moon is winding down towards the Balsamic Phase. This Phase has been characterized as a \"crisis in consciousness.\" As the First Quarter Phase is described as a \"crisis in action,\" the external organization of energy, creating a strong foundation to build upon, the \"crisis in consciousness\" is an internalized re-organization of energy.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is a time of turning away from what has been, reflecting feelings of discontent towards those passions characteristic of the times you found it hard to relate to the status quo as a child. Perhaps you found yourself responding to the enthusiasm of the status quo with a not enthusiastic \"this is it?\" attitude. Always standing a little apart from your peers, you had your own internal processes at work guiding and directing you in life. You may have needed a lot of alone time. Perhaps you needed more rest as a child. Your way of processing is through the unconscious state. Naps as a child would have helped you sort life out, and meditation as an adult will give you the internal clarity needed to separate from the day to day hectic-ness so prevalent in the physical world.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can be a master of the game, wearing the appropriate mask of participation. But what others may see isn\'t necessarily what they get. All the time, you are undergoing ideological transformation. As the butterfly suddenly appears from its chrysalis, you to will emerge entirely new, much to the amazement of all who thought they new you quite well.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dreams are a vehicle for understand your internal process. Keeping a dream journal and reading your story as it unfolds can bring what is unconscious, to the light of understanding. </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><b>BALSAMIC PHASE</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, 315 deg - 360 deg.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a very karmic lifetime in which you are meeting all those with which you have unfinished business from the previous seven lifetimes before this one. Therefore, you may encounter many brief, but intense relationships. There is a need for completion, a sense of closure to occur concerning these individuals. This can be confusing at times. It may be helpful to ask the question either to the person or to yourself, \"Is there anything I\'ve ever needed to say, do or give to you, let me do it now. If there is anything you\'ve needed to say, do or give to me let\'s not put it off any longer, let us complete it now.\" If you cannot finish something in person, you need to ask in meditation to be released, possibly to forgive or to be forgiven. Having a full past of prior lifetimes to reflect upon, you are a born visionary, a natural psychic with a bridge to the future.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You realized at an early age that you were different and may have pretended to be like everyone else to fend off alienation from peers. You may have been described as an unusual child, and may have even been regarded as the black sheep of the family. Others will recognize your special-ness. One of your unique qualities is to be able to take the key meaning of all situations and distill it into its wisdom essence. You can then transfer this awareness and consciousness in others to live beyond this physical life. Your commitment is to the future. By reckoning with the past, you can consciously make a break with it. You sense that something larger than yourself can manifest through you if you make the commitment to allow it to do so. For one to understand you at all one needs to look at what is happening THROUGH you. The transmission of essential knowledge is your purpose.</span>\r\n<h3><strong>More Course Materials:</strong></h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Moon-Nodes-1.pdf\">Moon Nodes</a></li>\r\n 	<li><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Moon-phases.pdf\">Moon phases</a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\nAlways feel free to give me your Feedback.

With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, otherwise you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<b><strong>Monday late</strong> morning</b>, we are in a state of “flow” and emotional connection to others; spiritual and creative endeavors are favored. <span style=\"color: #800000;\">(<i>Moon in </i><b><i>Cancer </i></b><i>trines Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> <em>at 10:19am EST.</em> -- post at 8:30am EST)</i></span><i></i>\r\n\r\n<b><strong>Monday early afternoon </strong></b><span style=\"color: #333333;\">requires some inner adjustments.

This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the Lunar Eclipse</i> -- a very powerful Full Moon (exact on Wednesday morning).\r\n\r\nWe all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-) So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can.\r\n\r\nFun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (January 31st): </strong><i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><strong>all day </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday morning, at 8:27am EST: </b><i>the Moon opposes the Sun</i> <i>in 11.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo</i></b> -- <em>a very powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse</em> becomes exact. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered <em>Leo</em> Tuesday at 1:53pm EST. </strong>\r\n\r\nOnce every six months, the Sun, Moon, and Earth finally align precisely enough for a Solar or Lunar Eclipse to occur; Eclipses are always powerfully connected to the Moon Nodes and thus to our Soul\'s Journey. <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/Lunar+Eclipse.aspx\">If you’d like to learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video</a>.\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon is <i>the first of two Eclipses within the next four weeks and it\'s extra-powerful -- firstly</i><i>, because it\'s</i> a <i>SuperMoon -- </i>these occur when the Moon is either Full or New, while at its closest distance to the Earth; they are therefore more powerful. This often means an increase in emotional reactions, plus greater awareness around the issues connected to the particular Full Moon energy in question.\r\n\r\nSecondly, as the second Full Moon of this calendar month, it is also a \"<i>Blue Moon\" -- so </i>I think we can go ahead and call it a SuperBlue Moon :-)\r\n\r\nGiven that our SuperBlue Full Moon is happening in the <b>Leo</b>/<b>Aquarius</b> polarity, there\'s extra emphasis on increasing awareness of our mind\'s activities, and on opening our heart chakras. As we do this, we can open more to joy, and be more playful.\r\n\r\nLunar Eclipses generally direct our attention to our \"emotional body” and our relationships; they also connect us more fully to our Soul’s journey (as shown by the Moon Nodes). This particular Eclipse focuses on the relationship between the individual (<b>Leo</b>) and the collective (<b>Aquarius</b>).\r\n\r\nWe become aware of what has been suppressed or ignored -- or, this being a North Node Eclipse, what needs to be embraced, integrated and explored -- in regards to the <b>Leo</b> energy.\r\n\r\nIt\'s been 19 years since we experienced a Lunar Eclipse in this degree... Think back to Jan. 31st, 1999: What did I need to open my heart to back then? What became more clear at that time, in regards to exploring joy? Was I able to get in touch with my inner child?\r\n\r\nThis is the third Lunar Eclipse in a 23-month cycle of Eclipses, all connected to the <b>Leo/Aquarius</b> polarity; the cycle in question began in February 2017 with a Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b> and will last until Jan. 2019, ending with yet another Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b>.\r\n\r\nThink back to February of last year: What started shifting for me, in my attitudes towards the collective (or \"humanity\")? How about like-minded people? Was there likewise a shift in my desire for more joy? Self-expression? Heartfelt actions? If I think back to the last Solar Eclipse in Leo from August 21st, 2017, what has brought the possibility for more joy into my life?\r\n\r\nLife-changing revelations are more likely over the next two weeks — and with them, shifts in our consciousness — and the impact of an Eclipse\'s energy also lasts longer than a regular Lunation (anywhere from 6 months to 2 years!)\r\n\r\nI will talk about the upcoming Eclipses in more detail in my next Forecasting Forum — if you want to know how the Eclipses are going to impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up, to our own birth charts. The Forum will be live on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time); for more info or to register, <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">click here</a>: <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ</a>\r\n\r\nThis particular Eclipse focuses on authentic self-expression and creativity. Ask yourself: What might open up if I expressed myself with my heart as my center? With more courage? If I were too much in my head, what would tip me off to that? What might my world look like, if I allowed my light to shine just a little brighter?\r\n\r\nWe are also invited to allow head and heart to merge, bringing about a brighter future for humankind -- what would it look like if I allowed that merger? What if I chose, right here and now, to contribute to humanity from a courageous, heart-centered and authentic place? What if I simply chose that, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>Leo</b> represents our individual expression, the kind of light we came to shine, joy we came to spread. <b>Leo</b> is the sign of individual creativity; <b>Aquarius</b> represents the power of collaboration, where the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts. <b>Aquarius</b>, connects us to the complex patterns formed by many coming together<i>.</i>\r\n\r\nThis means it\'s important to be especially aware and responsible when connecting with others. As best as you can, get present and ask yourself: What am I bringing forth? What are my intentions? What is in my heart that longs to be expressed? Do I have the courage to stand in my authentic self-expression?\r\n\r\nIf we want to see a greater shift in the world at large (an Aquarian concern), we must each do our own part and express our unique gifts (Leo’s imperative). That said, if we don\'t come from the heart --<span style=\"color: #333333;\"> or if we get stuck over-thinking things and/or being overly concerned with what other people are thinking -- we will not be able to fulfill on that vision.</span>\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> makes a Quincunx to Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>. </i>This might bring some internal discomfort; we need to make inner adjustments here. It nudges us to tune into our intuition, and create from a place of love rather than fear.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What if it were possible to get really in tune with my intuitive feeling body <i>and</i> express myself fully, with courage and without compromise? Might an introverted approach like that serve my extroverted, unique expression of Self? How can I transform lower vibrational feelings? For example, how might I transform fear into love? What approach might support such a transformation?\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun (ruler of Leo) in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> conjoins the South Node and Venus in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>. </i>This reminds us that each one of us has an electromagnetic field, and are an integral part of a much larger field, where our thoughts, growth, and actions interweave and affect the course of humanity. Together, we are exponentially more powerful.\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) is currently in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>. It\'s making a Square to Pluto and Mercury in </i><b><i>Capricorn.</i></b><i> </i>We are invited to be more honest with ourselves and others (especially about our fears and desires), and to pay attention to our thinking patterns, especially in regards to achieving things out there in the world.\r\n\r\nIn fact, you could say we are being invited to bring an innovative approach to who we are \"out there in the world\" -- and to our interactions with others… In other words: To step it up -- and walk our unique path. To inspire others. Life is too short to waste on things we are less than fully passionate about, that don\'t fully express our uniqueness.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What is being radically transformed in my life? Where am I being invited to confront outdated thought-forms? What\'s the relationship between my inner teenager and my inner adult?\r\n\r\nPluto represents the courage it takes to face our shadows and fears -- and if we can do that, we can discover our true motivations, desires -- and our true power. What do I get obsessed about? What scares me the most, when it comes to fully committing to things I feel passionate about?\r\n\r\nTake a look back at situations that felt disempowering -- and at situations that evoked some sort of helpless fury. When in the past have I given my power away to others, especially authority figures? Was it really about me? What did I choose in that moment?\r\n\r\n<i>Saturn (the traditional ruler of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>) currently in its own sign. </i>Here is a quote that fits really beautifully with this energy: <i>\"The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift of life is yours—it’s an amazing journey, and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. Your journey is determined by the choices you make. Your answers are determined by the questions you ask. Your destination is determined by the steps you take. Your future is determined by what you do today.\"</i> -- Dan Zadra\r\n\r\nWe are also encouraged during this Full Moon to acknowledge that we are all in this together, and that each one of us has the ability to effect change by tapping into our courage, and living our vision in every moment -- and this takes dropping into our hearts more fully.\r\n\r\nFor this <i>Full SuperBlue Moon/Lunar Eclipse</i> you could ask yourself these questions too: How might I learn about self-love? What if I chose to love the world as if it was a reflection of my heart and soul? What if I did that while expressing my unique soul-self, my unique spirit? Where do the inner and the outer experiences of love and connectedness meet?\r\n\r\nFlexibility, thinking outside the box, and self-care are critical during Eclipse season! Self-care is particularly important in times of stress and/or change — basic things, like making sure that we eat healthily and regularly, drink plenty of water, exercise, get plentiful rest -- and allow affection in from friends, family, or pets. Connecting to what feels supportive in order to stay grounded and regenerate ourselves can be very helpful as well.\r\n\r\nThere are so many more aspects we could talk about with this Lunar Eclipse chart, I\'d need an hour-and-a-half to cover it all — and that\'s just what I\'ll be doing during the 90-minute Monthly Forecasting Forum on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time)<b> </b><a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">click here to register</a>: <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ</a>) :-)\r\n\r\nThis <i>Lunar Eclipse</i> shows us that there is always work to be done -- and there\'s no need to get overwhelmed by that, because we all have the power to do it. All we have to do is look into our own heart and see the strength and love lying there. Ask yourself: Where could I be the voice? Where could I be or become the visionary? What if I accepted that I am the hero/heroine of my story? What is my role at this pivotal time?\r\n\r\nRemember: No effort is too small, no step too modest... And most important of all, perhaps: it\'s never too late to be the one who makes a difference -- especially when it comes from the heart and feels authentic!\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, trust that you have what it takes to make a difference for yourself and others. <i>And </i><a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/Lunar+Eclipse.aspx\">if you’d like to learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video</a>.\r\n\r\nA final note about Eclipses: they\'re consciousness upgrades, so for 7 - 10 days before and after one, we are usually in uncharted territory -- anything is possible and it\'s wise to expect the unexpected. Anything <i>brand-new</i> started during this time will likely not pan out the way we thought it would, often because important information comes to light only after Eclipse season is over.\r\n\r\nFor that reason, try to defer any major brand-new projects until after Feb. 25th, when this particular Eclipse season ends. That said, if something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic, allow it to “be”... Just be wary of the urge to push something forward merely to relieve anxiety or impatience.\r\n\r\nAllow for the upgrade to download, staying centered and doing your best to \"ground\" from within -- try using conscious breathing, and regard flexibility as a tool. Best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body…\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point or personal planets in 6-17 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo, Aquarius, Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>?

Oct 2nd - Sun. Oct 8th, 2017</h3>\r\n<div>\r\n<img class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https://astrologercoach.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/750_500_csupload_52782237-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" />Last week for me was all about spiritual and emotional healing and growth. This quote from Viktor Frankl resonated with me: \"The way in which a man accepts his fate and all the suffering it entails, the way in which he takes up his cross, gives him ample opportunity — even under the most difficult circumstances — to add a deeper meaning to his life.\"</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681639\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681641\"><strong>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement: </strong></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681642\">Very last chance to sign up for my FORECASTING FORUM, this Friday at 12pmPT/ 3pm ET/8pm BST (London-time). Please note that we will look at Jupiter changing signs from Libra to Scorpio on Oct. 10th and moving through this powerful sign until Nov. 2018, in relationship to our own birth charts.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681643\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681645\">If you would like to join live, you must register at least an hour before the live event starts (before 11am PDT/2pm EDT) -- if you register after that time you will receive an mp4-video presentation of this event.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681646\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681648\">Other than <a href=\"http://goo.gl/D0P2Rk\">booking a reading</a> with me, this is the highest level of support you can get -- and it\'s only $24 for the 90-minute webinar. <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">To register now, click here</a></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681651\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681653\"><strong>This week\'s headline items:</strong> the Full Moon in Aries becomes exact on Thursday afternoon; Pluto\'s energy remains exalted all week (its station phase ends on Oct. 10th). There will also be four <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon VoC phases</a>: Monday late morning (for a little over 3 hours), Wednesday very early morning (a little over 13 hours), Friday evening (almost 1.5 hours), and Sunday late morning (12 hours).</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681655\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681657\"><strong>Monday (Oct. 2nd):</strong> the Moon remains infreedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius until 10:26am EDT. With this Moon placement, we often feel emotionally detached; when we do connect to our feelings, it\'s typically from a cerebral, intellectual place. We need a cause or project that resonates -- preferably one where we can connect with like-minded people.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681658\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681660\">For the next couple of days, we\'ll tend to be more eccentric or experimental; future-related issues like politics or education call to us now, as do unusual or even esoteric subjects like Astrology, UFOs... indeed anything from outer space. Our scientific approach to things leans on originality and ingenuity; we definitely love being unconventional.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681661\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681663\">The increased value we place on personal and emotional independence could make us come off as indifferent or cold in one-on-one interactions. That said, we can still be friendly and kind, provided we aren\'t pushed into doing something conventional or unethical.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681664\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681666\">Monday at 7:13am EDT, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 3 hours until 10:26am EDT. Use this intuitive time to fulfill your need for future exploration -- and allow for others to contribute new perspectives.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681668\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681670\">As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday morning ahead of time ;-)</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681671\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681673\">Monday at 10:26am EDT, the Moon moves into creative, sensitive Pisces, where it will journey until Wednesday late afternoon.This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681674\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681676\">But... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681677\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681679\">It\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681680\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681682\">Tuesday (October 3rd): the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces all day (see Monday late morning for details).</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681683\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681685\">Tuesday mid-afternoon, a harmonious Venus/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 3:09pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect from last Sunday on; it will remain strong until this Saturday. This aspect brings a fruitful and rewarding period in our lives. We experience new depths of intimacy (with an existing or new partner), we learn to appreciate the important people in our lives, and our value system transforms and evolves.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681686\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681688\">This is likely an excellent period for finances as well. Work we\'ve done might pay off, and we are able to manage our finances better, with more attention to detail, planning and strategy -- as well as the elimination of anything that no longer serves us. We might renew a commitment, or bring new, deeper and more intimate energy into a relationship under the influence of this aspect.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681689\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681691\">Our sexual lives might get a real boost now, as we tend to want to connect on a deeper level. We might find ourselves strongly attracted to someone, almost to the point of obsession. If this aspect connects with any of your personal planets, you might just meet the \"love of your life\".</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681692\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681694\">One thing is for sure -- relationships experienced now are bound to be unforgettable. While this transit tends to signal new or strengthened relationships, any relationship that ends during this cycle may leave us feeling liberated.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681695\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681697\">Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in 14-20 degrees of Virgo, Capricorn or Taurus will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Scorpio (Venus being the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681698\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681700\">Wednesday (October 4th): the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces until 4:40pm (see Monday late morning for details).</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681701\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681703\">Wednesday at 3:19am EDT, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 13 hours until 4:40pm EDT. We are pulled in two quite different directions: On the one hand, we experience a desire for inner silence, emotional oneness, and the flow of creativity through us. On the other hand, we want to explore our belief structures and how they relate to the outside world.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681705\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681707\">We may therefore feel anxious or restless; as best as you can, slow down, acknowledge what is, know that all is well in each \"now moment\".</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681708\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681710\">Use this intuitive time to make adjustments and find creative solutions when it comes to these energies. As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday Day ahead of time ;-)</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681711\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681713\">Wednesday at 4:40pm EDT, the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced Aries, where it will journey until Friday evening. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681714\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681716\">Our independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681717\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681719\">If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the Full Moon (exact on Thursday afternoon). <a href=\"https://youtu.be/T6Xu8HmU7E4\">Click here to watch my Full Moon video</a></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681721\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681723\">Wednesday late evening, a somewhat challenging Sun/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 11:09pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect from Tuesday night on; it will remain strong until Thursday night. This aspect feels \"internal\" -- inner unease and awkwardness -- and we need to make a choice. Given that it is an internal issue, we need to develop an inner awareness, if we’re to see what needs adjusting.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681724\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681726\">Our energy tends to be unrealistically directed -- and our sense of self may actually change as we learn that we have wrongly assessed important situations. Our self-trust could takes a hit at this time.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681727\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681729\">Due to our high ideals, we may take on more than we can physically handle -- if we start to feel drained or frustrated, it might be helpful to look at the overall direction we are taking. Do your best to rest and have quiet time alongside your interactions with others.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681730\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681732\">It is also worthwhile to look for how our ideas are being received by others: Can we involve them in creating/realizing our dreams? Perhaps we are not sure whether we want to keep dreaming our dream privately, or share it with others... As best as you can, slow down: where there is spaciousness, there is flow; where there is flow, there is effortless creation.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681733\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681735\">Do you have your Career Point (or personal planets) in 11-13 degrees of Libra or Pisces? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Pisces (the Sun rules of Leo; Neptune rules Pisces)</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681736\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681738\">Also, tomorrow (Thursday all day) and Friday before 2pm EDT, is your last chance to sign up for Friday\'s FORECASTING FORUM. Please note we willaddress Jupiter\'s journey through Scorpio in relationship to our own birth charts. If you want to know how this is going to impact you personally, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681739\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681741\">Other than <a href=\"http://goo.gl/D0P2Rk\">booking a reading</a> with me, this is the highest level of support you can get -- and it\'s only $24 for the 90-minute webinar. <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">To register now, click here</a></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681744\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681746\">If you would like to join live, please keep in mind that registration will close an hour before the live event begins, if you register after 2pm EDT on Friday you will receive the mp4-video presentation of the webinar.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681747\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681749\">Thursday (October 5th): the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced Aries all day (see Wednesday late afternoon for details).</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681750\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681752\">Thursday early afternoon, a Venus/Mars alignment in 19 degrees of Virgo becomes exact at 12:53pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday (Sept 30th) on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (Oct 10th). This is a very passionate combination: action and receptivity, assertiveness and allowing. Please see the Full Moon entry for more on this aspect...</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681753\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681755\">Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-22 degrees ofVirgo, Pisces, Gemini or Sagittarius? If so, you will be more affected by this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Aries (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars is the ruler of Aries)</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681756\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681758\">Thursday afternoon, at 2:40pm EDT the Moon opposes the Sun in almost 13 degrees of Aries. We started to feel this aspect when the Moon entered Aries on Wednesday afternoon. Generally, a Full Moon brings our attention to our \"emotional body” increasing our awareness of what has been suppressed or ignored. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/full-moon/full-moon-in-aries-oct-2017-having-autonomy/\">Feel free to also watch my video on the subject</a></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681760\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681762\">The Aries/Libra polarity directs that awareness to the roles we identify with in our various one-on-one relationships — and this Full Moon is thus a call to take action on those roles, perhaps even redefine them.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681763\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681765\">In particular, it brings the focus to \"independence\": Where do we need to be more assertive? More accommodating? Where have we been too independent? Too dependent? What roles or contracts need to be revisited?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681766\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681768\">This also involves the balance of feminine and masculine energies within ourselves, our relationships, and our world. Where in your life is one of these out of balance? What happens when there is too much masculine? Too much feminine?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681769\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681771\">Something else to bear in mind about this Full Moon: not only is the Sun in opposition to the Moon in Aries, it is also aligned with Mercury in Libra.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681772\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681774\">This is a call for exploration of loving, equal, mutually beneficial relationships and partnerships — and a good time to resolve conflicts, especially within our one-on-one relationships: What is calling to be resolved?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681775\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681777\">That said, the strongest message of this Full Moon is definitely that healthy relationship with our own inner feminine and masculine energies. What if you already knew how to experience this balance?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681778\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681780\">Mars (the ruler of Aries) and Venus (the ruler of Libra) are both currently in Virgo, closely aligned,squaring Saturn in Sagittarius, opposing Chiron in Pisces, andtrining Pluto inCapricorn.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681781\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681783\">So let\'s talk first about the Venus/Mars alignment in Virgo: this indicates a marriage of courage and collaboration, inviting us to allow the masculine (active/doing/asserting) and feminine (receiving/allowing/being) to work together and be of service to each other. We have a chance to express our needs, passions, and desires now in more effective ways and are more likely to get things done well.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681784\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681786\">Given that this combo is taking place in Virgo, we prefer to take a realistic approach to things, aiming all our passion and love toward excellence, and enjoying the details. We definitely also have a desire to help and serve others rights now.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681787\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681789\">Things to watch out for though: sweating the details, worrying, and being extra-critical of ourselves and others when something doesn’t get done \"right\".</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681790\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681792\">The last time we experienced this alignment was back in Nov. 2015: Was there a new beginning back then, in regards to how your feminine and masculine energies operate and collaborate? What has shifted for you since then?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681793\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681795\">Mars and Venus square Saturn in Sagittarius; this combo invites us to stretch and grow.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681796\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681798\">We are learning to live life in moderation... and this might be frustrating at first, if we develop the sense that we don\'t have \"enough\" (experiences, knowledge, expertise, success, etc...) What’s more, Virgo’s perfectionism might also make it difficult to know when it might actually be “enough”.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681799\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681801\">Ask yourself: What if I was inherently already (and always) enough? Would that knowledge allow me to step off the merry-go-round?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681802\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681804\">How might it benefit me to slow down and take it one step at a time? What hasn\'t been said yet? How could I communicate that from a place of maturity and self-responsibility -- without being rigid?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681805\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681807\">Mars and Venus oppose Chiron in Pisces: We are asked to embrace the “power of love”, that comes from allowing ourselves to be human and accepting our limitations -- loving ourselves “because” of all that, rather than \"despite\" it.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681808\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681810\">Chiron is supporting us with healing and the integration of issues around the feminine/masculine balance that we all need to feel whole, that helps us to function better out there in the world. This is definitely a favorable time for practicing forgiveness, both towards others and toward ourselves; what if, in fact, there was nothing to forgive? What if everything were already forgiven?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681811\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681813\">We are invited to deeply appreciate the partnership with the Earth and all of life. Ask yourself: What am I able to feel when I tune into all of life around me? How can I bring a kind and loving approach to myself as I allow myself to experience human frailty?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681814\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681816\">Mars and Venus trinePluto in Capricorn. This allows for a flow between our actions and ability to be of service, and our collective Soul Purpose of building an empowered society that is emotionally connected to (even passionate about) achieving something great and lasting, that works for everyone.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681817\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681819\">This is a very practical combo that reminds us we are all born onto a living, breathing entity that is our home and that we must protect and nourish, if we want to continue being supported by its resources. What might being of service to my own body and the body of the planet I live on look like? How might this approach bring about a better future for generations to come?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681820\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681822\">Pluto in Capricorn, still exalted in the sky until Oct. 10th, squares the Full Moon and Mercury in Libra... This is also a \"stretch aspect\" -- it invites us to connect to ourselves from within, even though there is so much that pulls us into other directions.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681823\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681825\">Aries &amp; Libra are both extroverted, social signs -- and Pluto in Capricorn asks us to feel fully empowered in the world. In order to do that, we need to first bring empowerment to our emotional body and get clear about what we need on that level, vs. what we want (i.e our desires.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681826\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681828\">Ask yourself: How might I be able to strengthen my connection to the wisdom of my body? To my inner roots? What activities might help me feel more grounded and safe in the world? How can I nurture myself to the point that I am at once connected to others and yet completely independent? What would it look like to stand in my power and grow and evolve with the support of others?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681829\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681831\">Pluto represents our deepest empowerment process -- it\'s where we face our worst fears, own our shadow (all that has been suppressed or denied), and align with our divine purpose. We may feel impatient (or even obsessive) right now about our career goals. Suppressed desires may surface and demand action.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681832\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681834\">What am I most scared about, when it comes to my accomplishments? Am I allowing myself to listen to the deepest calling of my Soul?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681835\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681837\">As best you can, choose words carefully, speaking from a deeply connected and empowered place. Choose love over fear whenever possible. Ask: could I nurture myself -- mentally, physically and emotionally — such that I feel safe and loved? Maybe like a healthy parent cradling a baby…?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681838\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681840\">Some more questions you can ask yourself: Could I let go of wanting to control another\'s experience? Could I allow myself to have productive discussions rather than controversy? What might complete honesty and transparency make possible? What does mutual empowerment look like to me?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681841\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681843\">There is also a Jupiter/Uranus opposition in Libra/Aries. This asks us to be brave -- willing to take risks, explore new alternatives, access our courage and think outside the box.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681844\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681846\">This also generates lots of core energy and enthusiasm, inspiring us to break free from conventional, outdated social structures, especially the roles we play. We might need more independence in our relationships. As best as you can, use this energy to initiate new, exciting relationships -- including the \"relationship\" with yourself.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681847\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681849\">What does \"new and unexpected\" look like to me? How could I generate change without discounting input from others? Could I allow myself to be with what I see, without acting impulsively or erratically to force change?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681850\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681852\">As Jupiter moves into the last degree of Libra, it\'s energy becomes more exalted; it is getting ready to leave this sign of balance, equality and justice. You could say it is about to have its last hurrah in \"maybe this, maybe that?” Libra, before it moves into all-or-nothing Scorpio on Oct. 10th for a little over a year.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681853\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681855\">We will address Jupiter\'s journey through Scorpio in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum on Oct. 6th. Feel free to join us; I especially recommend it if you have Scorpio or Sagittarius as your Sun, Moon or Rising-sign. <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">To register now, click here </a></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681857\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681859\">To sum it all up for this Full Moon: We are in a critical phase of our spiritual growth process, in which we are asked to release all that is holding us back… This means dysfunctional and restrictive relationships, addictions and negative habits, thought patterns -- and possessions that take up too much of our time, effort and sense of inner abundance. As best as you can, see this an an opportunity; allow, rather than resist ;-)</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681860\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681862\">And if nothing else, do your best to remember that we all signed up for this journey to become a spiritual, fully human adult that exists in an ever-expanding, multidimensional realm of physicality… not always an easy feat...</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681863\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681865\">Take a deep breath and allow yourself to see the irony and paradox of \"life\". And, as best as you can, take responsibility for your thought forms, remain curious and nurture yourself, dig deeper to truly understand your own emotional needs, so you can connect to others and yourself from a place of strength and autonomy. For more details on this powerful Full Moon, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/full-moon/full-moon-in-aries-oct-2017-having-autonomy/\">click here and watch my video on the subject</a></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681867\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681869\">This is especially true for those of us with personal planets or points in 10-15 degrees of Aries, Libra, Capricorn or Cancer (the personal planets are the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars; personal points are the Ascendent or MC).</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681870\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681872\">Friday (October 6th): the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced Ariesuntil 7:56pm EDT (see Wednesday late afternoon for details).</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681873\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681875\">Friday afternoon, a somewhat challenging Mercury/Neptune aspectbecomes exact at 1:44pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until Saturday. This could contribute either to some mental confusion and spaciness, or the need to communicate with others from our imagination (but possibly not knowing how to achieve that).</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681876\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681878\">This aspect operates more on an internal level: We feel uneasy about something, sort of \"awkward\" -- and we need to make a choice. Sometimes, imagination and mind can run way ahead of what is actually feasible (and sensible). At these times, the grand vision is best served by focusing on the next concrete step, accepting our own idiosyncrasies as we go.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681879\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681881\">Honesty is crucial here, especially self-honesty; inner awareness is in turn crucial to deep honesty and authenticity. What\'s true for you? What might be possible for humanity? Where do those overlap?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681882\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681884\">Note that I say \"overlap\": Don\'t look for an exact fit, this is more like two puzzle pieces that came from different jigsaw puzzles. You might keep looking at the imperfect fit and feel a nagging sense that something doesn\'t make sense… and it doesn\'t -- it can\'t. The pieces are not from the same game. Just do your best to \"hang out\" with the discomfort, rather than repeatedly trying to figure it out and fix it.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681885\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681887\">Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 11-13 degrees of Libra or Pisces? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo or Pisces (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces)</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681888\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681890\">Friday before 2pm EDT, is your very last chance to sign up for today\'s FORECASTING FORUM. Please note we willaddress Jupiter\'s journey through Scorpio in relationship to our own birth charts.

Use this intuitive time to balance asserting your unique spark with your desire to collaborate. As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681903\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681905\">Friday at 7:56pm EDT, the Moon moves into steady, peaceful Taurus, where it will be until Sunday late evening. We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well. In other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681906\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681908\">What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681909\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681911\">Saturday (October 7th): the Moon remains in steady, peaceful Taurus all day (see Friday evening for details).</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681912\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681914\">Saturdayafternoon, we have an opportunity to meet our need for material comfort with a gentler, more intuitive approach.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681915\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681917\">On Saturday evening, we are invited to make some internal adjustments: We may want to have some peace and quiet, while at the same time, feeling the need to connect with others. How might a balance mental and physical approach support us right now?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681918\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681920\">Sunday (October 8th): the Moon remains in steady, peacefulT aurus until 9:44pm EDT (see Friday evening for details).</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681921\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681923\">Sunday morning, a challenging Venus/Saturn aspectbecomes exact at 8:54am EDT. We started to feel this aspect from Thursday on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (Oct. 10th). It asks us to stretch and grow beyond how we\'ve known ourselves in our relationships up to this point -- a process of maturing that requires we adjust and stay flexible.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681924\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681926\">On the one hand, we want to improve our relationships in a very practical way, thinking our way through things in detail. On the other hand, we feel a sharp need to explore “the larger truth” about ourselves and others — to determine what beliefs align with our own direct experience. Do your best to make space for both of these urges.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681927\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681929\">We tend to be more cautious when it comes to relationships and finances now -- and in fact, this is not the best time to start a brand-new romantic relationship. Financially though, this aspect can be eye-opening; if we can find creative ways to deal with money, we will grow from it. The key is to approach things with an open heart, clarity and maturity.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681930\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681932\">Rigidity or pushing doesn\'t usually get us what we want: Sometimes, it’s better to go one step at a time; that way, we can come back later with a stronger approach and more mature expectations.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681933\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681935\">Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 19-26 degreesof Virgo, Sagittarius, Gemini or Pisces? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Capricorn (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681936\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681938\">Sunday at 9:45am EDT, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for 12 hours, until 9:44pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to connect with others in earthly ways and support each other with practical issues. As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday all day ahead of time ;-)</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681940\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681942\">Sunday late afternoon, a Sun/Mercury alignmentin almost 16 degrees of Libra becomes exact at 4:54pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect from Wednesday on; it will remain strong until next week Thursday (Oct 12th). This aspect indicates a confident mind and an analytical approach to life. Intelligence and communication abilities are strong at this time; however, we may not listen as well as the other speaks -- we might be too busy thinking about what to say next.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681943\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681945\">\r\n\r\nGiven that this alignment takes place in Libra, we may be particularly indecisive -- do your best to not get stuck out of a need for justice, fairness, or social harmony.\r\n\r\nWe want an active role in communications -- it\'s very hard for us to passively listen and absorb information right now. What we say or write now has impact, so as best as you can, choose your words wisely. If people hung on your every word, what would you say then? What would you hold back from saying?\r\n\r\nOur opinions are strong and our thinking independent -- and we\'re proud of both -- our egos may therefore get bruised if we don\'t feel \"heard\". As best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have different opinion and that\'s ok.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681950\">Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 13-19 degrees of Libra, Aries, Cancer or Capricorn? If so, you will be more affected by this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo, Gemini or Virgo (the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681952\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681954\">Sunday at 9:44pm EDT, the Moon moves into chatty, versatile Gemini, where it will journey until this Tuesday late evening. For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way... The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681955\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681957\">**************</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681958\">A head\'s up for next Monday (Oct. 9th): The Moon remains in chatty, versatile Geminiall day (see Sunday evening for details). Monday morning, a challenging Mercury/Pluto aspectbecomes exact at 8:26am EDT. We started to feel this aspect from Saturday on; it will remain strong until next week Wednesday.Monday evening, a challenging Sun/Pluto aspectbecomes exact at 8:12pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect from Friday on; it will remain strong until next week Thursday.More about all the details in next week’s forecast ;-)</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681959\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681961\">One Last Announcement:</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681962\">Last chance to join me for my next FORECASTING FORUM, on Friday, Oct. 6th, 2017 at 12pmPT/ 3pm ET/8pm BST (London-time). Please note that we will be talking aboutJupiter changing signs from Libra to Scorpio on Oct. 10th and moving through this powerful sign until Nov. 2018, in relationship to our own birth charts.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681963\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681965\">If you want to know how all of this is going to impact you personally, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation.

There will also be four <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon VoC phases</a>: Monday late morning (for a little over 3 hours), Wednesday very early morning (a little over 13 hours), Friday evening (almost 1.5 hours), and Sunday late morning (12 hours).</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681655\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681657\"><strong>Monday (Oct. 2nd):</strong> the Moon remains infreedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius until 10:26am EDT. With this Moon placement, we often feel emotionally detached; when we do connect to our feelings, it\'s typically from a cerebral, intellectual place. We need a cause or project that resonates -- preferably one where we can connect with like-minded people.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681658\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681660\">For the next couple of days, we\'ll tend to be more eccentric or experimental; future-related issues like politics or education call to us now, as do unusual or even esoteric subjects like Astrology, UFOs... indeed anything from outer space. Our scientific approach to things leans on originality and ingenuity; we definitely love being unconventional.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681661\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681663\">The increased value we place on personal and emotional independence could make us come off as indifferent or cold in one-on-one interactions. That said, we can still be friendly and kind, provided we aren\'t pushed into doing something conventional or unethical.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681664\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681666\">Monday at 7:13am EDT, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 3 hours until 10:26am EDT. Use this intuitive time to fulfill your need for future exploration -- and allow for others to contribute new perspectives.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681668\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681670\">As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday morning ahead of time ;-)</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681671\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681673\">Monday at 10:26am EDT, the Moon moves into creative, sensitive Pisces, where it will journey until Wednesday late afternoon.This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681674\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681676\">But... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681677\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681679\">It\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681680\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681682\">Tuesday (October 3rd): the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces all day (see Monday late morning for details).</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681683\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681685\">Tuesday mid-afternoon, a harmonious Venus/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 3:09pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect from last Sunday on; it will remain strong until this Saturday. This aspect brings a fruitful and rewarding period in our lives. We experience new depths of intimacy (with an existing or new partner), we learn to appreciate the important people in our lives, and our value system transforms and evolves.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681686\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681688\">This is likely an excellent period for finances as well. Work we\'ve done might pay off, and we are able to manage our finances better, with more attention to detail, planning and strategy -- as well as the elimination of anything that no longer serves us. We might renew a commitment, or bring new, deeper and more intimate energy into a relationship under the influence of this aspect.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681689\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681691\">Our sexual lives might get a real boost now, as we tend to want to connect on a deeper level. We might find ourselves strongly attracted to someone, almost to the point of obsession. If this aspect connects with any of your personal planets, you might just meet the \"love of your life\".</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681692\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681694\">One thing is for sure -- relationships experienced now are bound to be unforgettable. While this transit tends to signal new or strengthened relationships, any relationship that ends during this cycle may leave us feeling liberated.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681695\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681697\">Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in 14-20 degrees of Virgo, Capricorn or Taurus will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Scorpio (Venus being the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681698\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681700\">Wednesday (October 4th): the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces until 4:40pm (see Monday late morning for details).</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681701\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681703\">Wednesday at 3:19am EDT, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 13 hours until 4:40pm EDT. We are pulled in two quite different directions: On the one hand, we experience a desire for inner silence, emotional oneness, and the flow of creativity through us. On the other hand, we want to explore our belief structures and how they relate to the outside world.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681705\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681707\">We may therefore feel anxious or restless; as best as you can, slow down, acknowledge what is, know that all is well in each \"now moment\".</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681708\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681710\">Use this intuitive time to make adjustments and find creative solutions when it comes to these energies. As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday Day ahead of time ;-)</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681711\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681713\">Wednesday at 4:40pm EDT, the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced Aries, where it will journey until Friday evening. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681714\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681716\">Our independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681717\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681719\">If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the Full Moon (exact on Thursday afternoon). <a href=\"https://youtu.be/T6Xu8HmU7E4\">Click here to watch my Full Moon video</a></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681721\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681723\">Wednesday late evening, a somewhat challenging Sun/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 11:09pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect from Tuesday night on; it will remain strong until Thursday night. This aspect feels \"internal\" -- inner unease and awkwardness -- and we need to make a choice. Given that it is an internal issue, we need to develop an inner awareness, if we’re to see what needs adjusting.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681724\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681726\">Our energy tends to be unrealistically directed -- and our sense of self may actually change as we learn that we have wrongly assessed important situations. Our self-trust could takes a hit at this time.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681727\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681729\">Due to our high ideals, we may take on more than we can physically handle -- if we start to feel drained or frustrated, it might be helpful to look at the overall direction we are taking. Do your best to rest and have quiet time alongside your interactions with others.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681730\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681732\">It is also worthwhile to look for how our ideas are being received by others: Can we involve them in creating/realizing our dreams? Perhaps we are not sure whether we want to keep dreaming our dream privately, or share it with others... As best as you can, slow down: where there is spaciousness, there is flow; where there is flow, there is effortless creation.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681733\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681735\">Do you have your Career Point (or personal planets) in 11-13 degrees of Libra or Pisces? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Pisces (the Sun rules of Leo; Neptune rules Pisces)</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681736\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681738\">Also, tomorrow (Thursday all day) and Friday before 2pm EDT, is your last chance to sign up for Friday\'s FORECASTING FORUM. Please note we willaddress Jupiter\'s journey through Scorpio in relationship to our own birth charts. If you want to know how this is going to impact you personally, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681739\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681741\">Other than <a href=\"http://goo.gl/D0P2Rk\">booking a reading</a> with me, this is the highest level of support you can get -- and it\'s only $24 for the 90-minute webinar. <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">To register now, click here</a></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681744\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681746\">If you would like to join live, please keep in mind that registration will close an hour before the live event begins, if you register after 2pm EDT on Friday you will receive the mp4-video presentation of the webinar.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681747\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681749\">Thursday (October 5th): the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced Aries all day (see Wednesday late afternoon for details).</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681750\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681752\">Thursday early afternoon, a Venus/Mars alignment in 19 degrees of Virgo becomes exact at 12:53pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday (Sept 30th) on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (Oct 10th). This is a very passionate combination: action and receptivity, assertiveness and allowing. Please see the Full Moon entry for more on this aspect...</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681753\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681755\">Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-22 degrees ofVirgo, Pisces, Gemini or Sagittarius? If so, you will be more affected by this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Aries (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars is the ruler of Aries)</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681756\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681758\">Thursday afternoon, at 2:40pm EDT the Moon opposes the Sun in almost 13 degrees of Aries. We started to feel this aspect when the Moon entered Aries on Wednesday afternoon. Generally, a Full Moon brings our attention to our \"emotional body” increasing our awareness of what has been suppressed or ignored. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/full-moon/full-moon-in-aries-oct-2017-having-autonomy/\">Feel free to also watch my video on the subject</a></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681760\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681762\">The Aries/Libra polarity directs that awareness to the roles we identify with in our various one-on-one relationships — and this Full Moon is thus a call to take action on those roles, perhaps even redefine them.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681763\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681765\">In particular, it brings the focus to \"independence\": Where do we need to be more assertive? More accommodating? Where have we been too independent? Too dependent? What roles or contracts need to be revisited?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681766\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681768\">This also involves the balance of feminine and masculine energies within ourselves, our relationships, and our world. Where in your life is one of these out of balance? What happens when there is too much masculine? Too much feminine?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681769\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681771\">Something else to bear in mind about this Full Moon: not only is the Sun in opposition to the Moon in Aries, it is also aligned with Mercury in Libra.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681772\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681774\">This is a call for exploration of loving, equal, mutually beneficial relationships and partnerships — and a good time to resolve conflicts, especially within our one-on-one relationships: What is calling to be resolved?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681775\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681777\">That said, the strongest message of this Full Moon is definitely that healthy relationship with our own inner feminine and masculine energies. What if you already knew how to experience this balance?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681778\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681780\">Mars (the ruler of Aries) and Venus (the ruler of Libra) are both currently in Virgo, closely aligned,squaring Saturn in Sagittarius, opposing Chiron in Pisces, andtrining Pluto inCapricorn.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681781\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681783\">So let\'s talk first about the Venus/Mars alignment in Virgo: this indicates a marriage of courage and collaboration, inviting us to allow the masculine (active/doing/asserting) and feminine (receiving/allowing/being) to work together and be of service to each other. We have a chance to express our needs, passions, and desires now in more effective ways and are more likely to get things done well.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681784\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681786\">Given that this combo is taking place in Virgo, we prefer to take a realistic approach to things, aiming all our passion and love toward excellence, and enjoying the details. We definitely also have a desire to help and serve others rights now.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681787\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681789\">Things to watch out for though: sweating the details, worrying, and being extra-critical of ourselves and others when something doesn’t get done \"right\".</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681790\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681792\">The last time we experienced this alignment was back in Nov. 2015: Was there a new beginning back then, in regards to how your feminine and masculine energies operate and collaborate? What has shifted for you since then?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681793\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681795\">Mars and Venus square Saturn in Sagittarius; this combo invites us to stretch and grow.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681796\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681798\">We are learning to live life in moderation... and this might be frustrating at first, if we develop the sense that we don\'t have \"enough\" (experiences, knowledge, expertise, success, etc...) What’s more, Virgo’s perfectionism might also make it difficult to know when it might actually be “enough”.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681799\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681801\">Ask yourself: What if I was inherently already (and always) enough? Would that knowledge allow me to step off the merry-go-round?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681802\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681804\">How might it benefit me to slow down and take it one step at a time? What hasn\'t been said yet? How could I communicate that from a place of maturity and self-responsibility -- without being rigid?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681805\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681807\">Mars and Venus oppose Chiron in Pisces: We are asked to embrace the “power of love”, that comes from allowing ourselves to be human and accepting our limitations -- loving ourselves “because” of all that, rather than \"despite\" it.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681808\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681810\">Chiron is supporting us with healing and the integration of issues around the feminine/masculine balance that we all need to feel whole, that helps us to function better out there in the world. This is definitely a favorable time for practicing forgiveness, both towards others and toward ourselves; what if, in fact, there was nothing to forgive? What if everything were already forgiven?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681811\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681813\">We are invited to deeply appreciate the partnership with the Earth and all of life. Ask yourself: What am I able to feel when I tune into all of life around me? How can I bring a kind and loving approach to myself as I allow myself to experience human frailty?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681814\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681816\">Mars and Venus trinePluto in Capricorn. This allows for a flow between our actions and ability to be of service, and our collective Soul Purpose of building an empowered society that is emotionally connected to (even passionate about) achieving something great and lasting, that works for everyone.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681817\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681819\">This is a very practical combo that reminds us we are all born onto a living, breathing entity that is our home and that we must protect and nourish, if we want to continue being supported by its resources. What might being of service to my own body and the body of the planet I live on look like? How might this approach bring about a better future for generations to come?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681820\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681822\">Pluto in Capricorn, still exalted in the sky until Oct. 10th, squares the Full Moon and Mercury in Libra... This is also a \"stretch aspect\" -- it invites us to connect to ourselves from within, even though there is so much that pulls us into other directions.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681823\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681825\">Aries &amp; Libra are both extroverted, social signs -- and Pluto in Capricorn asks us to feel fully empowered in the world. In order to do that, we need to first bring empowerment to our emotional body and get clear about what we need on that level, vs. what we want (i.e our desires.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681826\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681828\">Ask yourself: How might I be able to strengthen my connection to the wisdom of my body? To my inner roots? What activities might help me feel more grounded and safe in the world? How can I nurture myself to the point that I am at once connected to others and yet completely independent? What would it look like to stand in my power and grow and evolve with the support of others?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681829\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681831\">Pluto represents our deepest empowerment process -- it\'s where we face our worst fears, own our shadow (all that has been suppressed or denied), and align with our divine purpose. We may feel impatient (or even obsessive) right now about our career goals. Suppressed desires may surface and demand action.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681832\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681834\">What am I most scared about, when it comes to my accomplishments? Am I allowing myself to listen to the deepest calling of my Soul?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681835\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681837\">As best you can, choose words carefully, speaking from a deeply connected and empowered place. Choose love over fear whenever possible. Ask: could I nurture myself -- mentally, physically and emotionally — such that I feel safe and loved? Maybe like a healthy parent cradling a baby…?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681838\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681840\">Some more questions you can ask yourself: Could I let go of wanting to control another\'s experience? Could I allow myself to have productive discussions rather than controversy? What might complete honesty and transparency make possible? What does mutual empowerment look like to me?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681841\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681843\">There is also a Jupiter/Uranus opposition in Libra/Aries. This asks us to be brave -- willing to take risks, explore new alternatives, access our courage and think outside the box.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681844\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681846\">This also generates lots of core energy and enthusiasm, inspiring us to break free from conventional, outdated social structures, especially the roles we play. We might need more independence in our relationships. As best as you can, use this energy to initiate new, exciting relationships -- including the \"relationship\" with yourself.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681847\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681849\">What does \"new and unexpected\" look like to me? How could I generate change without discounting input from others? Could I allow myself to be with what I see, without acting impulsively or erratically to force change?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681850\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681852\">As Jupiter moves into the last degree of Libra, it\'s energy becomes more exalted; it is getting ready to leave this sign of balance, equality and justice. You could say it is about to have its last hurrah in \"maybe this, maybe that?” Libra, before it moves into all-or-nothing Scorpio on Oct. 10th for a little over a year.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681853\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681855\">We will address Jupiter\'s journey through Scorpio in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum on Oct. 6th. Feel free to join us; I especially recommend it if you have Scorpio or Sagittarius as your Sun, Moon or Rising-sign. <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">To register now, click here </a></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681857\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681859\">To sum it all up for this Full Moon: We are in a critical phase of our spiritual growth process, in which we are asked to release all that is holding us back… This means dysfunctional and restrictive relationships, addictions and negative habits, thought patterns -- and possessions that take up too much of our time, effort and sense of inner abundance. As best as you can, see this an an opportunity; allow, rather than resist ;-)</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681860\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681862\">And if nothing else, do your best to remember that we all signed up for this journey to become a spiritual, fully human adult that exists in an ever-expanding, multidimensional realm of physicality… not always an easy feat...</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681863\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681865\">Take a deep breath and allow yourself to see the irony and paradox of \"life\". And, as best as you can, take responsibility for your thought forms, remain curious and nurture yourself, dig deeper to truly understand your own emotional needs, so you can connect to others and yourself from a place of strength and autonomy. For more details on this powerful Full Moon, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/full-moon/full-moon-in-aries-oct-2017-having-autonomy/\">click here and watch my video on the subject</a></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681867\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681869\">This is especially true for those of us with personal planets or points in 10-15 degrees of Aries, Libra, Capricorn or Cancer (the personal planets are the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars; personal points are the Ascendent or MC).</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681870\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681872\">Friday (October 6th): the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced Ariesuntil 7:56pm EDT (see Wednesday late afternoon for details).</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681873\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681875\">Friday afternoon, a somewhat challenging Mercury/Neptune aspectbecomes exact at 1:44pm EDT. We started to feel this aspect from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until Saturday. This could contribute either to some mental confusion and spaciness, or the need to communicate with others from our imagination (but possibly not knowing how to achieve that).</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681876\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681878\">This aspect operates more on an internal level: We feel uneasy about something, sort of \"awkward\" -- and we need to make a choice. Sometimes, imagination and mind can run way ahead of what is actually feasible (and sensible). At these times, the grand vision is best served by focusing on the next concrete step, accepting our own idiosyncrasies as we go.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681879\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681881\">Honesty is crucial here, especially self-honesty; inner awareness is in turn crucial to deep honesty and authenticity. What\'s true for you? What might be possible for humanity? Where do those overlap?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681882\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681884\">Note that I say \"overlap\": Don\'t look for an exact fit, this is more like two puzzle pieces that came from different jigsaw puzzles. You might keep looking at the imperfect fit and feel a nagging sense that something doesn\'t make sense… and it doesn\'t -- it can\'t. The pieces are not from the same game. Just do your best to \"hang out\" with the discomfort, rather than repeatedly trying to figure it out and fix it.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681885\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681887\">Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 11-13 degrees of Libra or Pisces?

In other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681906\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681908\">What is our favorite thing for the next two days?

How might a balance mental and physical approach support us right now?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681918\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681920\">Sunday (October 8th): the Moon remains in steady, peacefulT aurus until 9:44pm EDT (see Friday evening for details).</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681921\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681923\">Sunday morning, a challenging Venus/Saturn aspectbecomes exact at 8:54am EDT. We started to feel this aspect from Thursday on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (Oct. 10th). It asks us to stretch and grow beyond how we\'ve known ourselves in our relationships up to this point -- a process of maturing that requires we adjust and stay flexible.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681924\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681926\">On the one hand, we want to improve our relationships in a very practical way, thinking our way through things in detail. On the other hand, we feel a sharp need to explore “the larger truth” about ourselves and others — to determine what beliefs align with our own direct experience. Do your best to make space for both of these urges.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681927\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681929\">We tend to be more cautious when it comes to relationships and finances now -- and in fact, this is not the best time to start a brand-new romantic relationship. Financially though, this aspect can be eye-opening; if we can find creative ways to deal with money, we will grow from it. The key is to approach things with an open heart, clarity and maturity.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681930\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681932\">Rigidity or pushing doesn\'t usually get us what we want: Sometimes, it’s better to go one step at a time; that way, we can come back later with a stronger approach and more mature expectations.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681933\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681935\">Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 19-26 degreesof Virgo, Sagittarius, Gemini or Pisces? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Capricorn (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681936\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681938\">Sunday at 9:45am EDT, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for 12 hours, until 9:44pm EDT. Use this intuitive time to connect with others in earthly ways and support each other with practical issues. As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

Intelligence and communication abilities are strong at this time; however, we may not listen as well as the other speaks -- we might be too busy thinking about what to say next.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681943\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681945\">\r\n\r\nGiven that this alignment takes place in Libra, we may be particularly indecisive -- do your best to not get stuck out of a need for justice, fairness, or social harmony.\r\n\r\nWe want an active role in communications -- it\'s very hard for us to passively listen and absorb information right now. What we say or write now has impact, so as best as you can, choose your words wisely. If people hung on your every word, what would you say then? What would you hold back from saying?\r\n\r\nOur opinions are strong and our thinking independent -- and we\'re proud of both -- our egos may therefore get bruised if we don\'t feel \"heard\". As best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have different opinion and that\'s ok.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681950\">Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 13-19 degrees of Libra, Aries, Cancer or Capricorn? If so, you will be more affected by this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo, Gemini or Virgo (the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681952\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681954\">Sunday at 9:44pm EDT, the Moon moves into chatty, versatile Gemini, where it will journey until this Tuesday late evening. For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way...

With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance.

This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the Lunar Eclipse</i> -- a very powerful Full Moon (exact on Wednesday morning).\r\n\r\nWe all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-) So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can.\r\n\r\nFun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (January 31st): </strong><i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><strong>all day </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday morning, at 8:27am EST: </b><i>the Moon opposes the Sun</i> <i>in 11.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo</i></b> -- <em>a very powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse</em> becomes exact. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered <em>Leo</em> Tuesday at 1:53pm EST. </strong>\r\n\r\nOnce every six months, the Sun, Moon, and Earth finally align precisely enough for a Solar or Lunar Eclipse to occur; Eclipses are always powerfully connected to the Moon Nodes and thus to our Soul\'s Journey. <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/Lunar+Eclipse.aspx\">If you’d like to learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video</a>.\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon is <i>the first of two Eclipses within the next four weeks and it\'s extra-powerful -- firstly</i><i>, because it\'s</i> a <i>SuperMoon -- </i>these occur when the Moon is either Full or New, while at its closest distance to the Earth; they are therefore more powerful. This often means an increase in emotional reactions, plus greater awareness around the issues connected to the particular Full Moon energy in question.\r\n\r\nSecondly, as the second Full Moon of this calendar month, it is also a \"<i>Blue Moon\" -- so </i>I think we can go ahead and call it a SuperBlue Moon :-)\r\n\r\nGiven that our SuperBlue Full Moon is happening in the <b>Leo</b>/<b>Aquarius</b> polarity, there\'s extra emphasis on increasing awareness of our mind\'s activities, and on opening our heart chakras. As we do this, we can open more to joy, and be more playful.\r\n\r\nLunar Eclipses generally direct our attention to our \"emotional body” and our relationships; they also connect us more fully to our Soul’s journey (as shown by the Moon Nodes). This particular Eclipse focuses on the relationship between the individual (<b>Leo</b>) and the collective (<b>Aquarius</b>).\r\n\r\nWe become aware of what has been suppressed or ignored -- or, this being a North Node Eclipse, what needs to be embraced, integrated and explored -- in regards to the <b>Leo</b> energy.\r\n\r\nIt\'s been 19 years since we experienced a Lunar Eclipse in this degree... Think back to Jan. 31st, 1999: What did I need to open my heart to back then? What became more clear at that time, in regards to exploring joy? Was I able to get in touch with my inner child?\r\n\r\nThis is the third Lunar Eclipse in a 23-month cycle of Eclipses, all connected to the <b>Leo/Aquarius</b> polarity; the cycle in question began in February 2017 with a Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b> and will last until Jan. 2019, ending with yet another Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b>.\r\n\r\nThink back to February of last year: What started shifting for me, in my attitudes towards the collective (or \"humanity\")? How about like-minded people? Was there likewise a shift in my desire for more joy? Self-expression? Heartfelt actions? If I think back to the last Solar Eclipse in Leo from August 21st, 2017, what has brought the possibility for more joy into my life?\r\n\r\nLife-changing revelations are more likely over the next two weeks — and with them, shifts in our consciousness — and the impact of an Eclipse\'s energy also lasts longer than a regular Lunation (anywhere from 6 months to 2 years!)\r\n\r\nI will talk about the upcoming Eclipses in more detail in my next Forecasting Forum — if you want to know how the Eclipses are going to impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up, to our own birth charts. The Forum will be live on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time); for more info or to register, <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">click here</a>: <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ</a>\r\n\r\nThis particular Eclipse focuses on authentic self-expression and creativity. Ask yourself: What might open up if I expressed myself with my heart as my center? With more courage? If I were too much in my head, what would tip me off to that? What might my world look like, if I allowed my light to shine just a little brighter?\r\n\r\nWe are also invited to allow head and heart to merge, bringing about a brighter future for humankind -- what would it look like if I allowed that merger? What if I chose, right here and now, to contribute to humanity from a courageous, heart-centered and authentic place? What if I simply chose that, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>Leo</b> represents our individual expression, the kind of light we came to shine, joy we came to spread. <b>Leo</b> is the sign of individual creativity; <b>Aquarius</b> represents the power of collaboration, where the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts. <b>Aquarius</b>, connects us to the complex patterns formed by many coming together<i>.</i>\r\n\r\nThis means it\'s important to be especially aware and responsible when connecting with others. As best as you can, get present and ask yourself: What am I bringing forth? What are my intentions? What is in my heart that longs to be expressed? Do I have the courage to stand in my authentic self-expression?\r\n\r\nIf we want to see a greater shift in the world at large (an Aquarian concern), we must each do our own part and express our unique gifts (Leo’s imperative). That said, if we don\'t come from the heart --<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> or if we get stuck in over-thinking things and/or being overly concerned with what other people are thinking -- we will not be able to fulfill on that vision.</span>\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> makes a Quincunx to Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>. </i>This might bring some internal discomfort; we need to make inner adjustments here. It nudges us to tune into our intuition, and create from a place of love rather than fear.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What if it were possible to get really in tune with my intuitive feeling body <i>and</i> express myself fully, with courage and without compromise? Might an introverted approach like that serve my extroverted, unique expression of Self? How can I transform lower vibrational feelings? For example, how might I transform fear into love? What approach might support such a transformation?\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun (ruler of Leo) in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> conjoins the South Node and Venus in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>. </i>This reminds us that each one of us has an electromagnetic field, and are an integral part of a much larger field, where our thoughts, growth, and actions interweave and affect the course of humanity. Together, we are exponentially more powerful.\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) is currently in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>. It\'s making a Square to Pluto and Mercury in </i><b><i>Capricorn.</i></b><i> </i>We are invited to be more honest with ourselves and others (especially about our fears and desires), and to pay attention to our thinking patterns, especially in regards to achieving things out there in the world.\r\n\r\nIn fact, you could say we are being invited to bring an innovative approach to who we are \"out there in the world\" -- and to our interactions with others… In other words: To step it up -- and walk our unique path. To inspire others. Life is too short to waste on things we are less than fully passionate about, that don\'t fully express our uniqueness.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What is being radically transformed in my life? Where am I being invited to confront outdated thought-forms? What\'s the relationship between my inner teenager and my inner adult?\r\n\r\nPluto represents the courage it takes to face our shadows and fears -- and if we can do that, we can discover our true motivations, desires -- and our true power. What do I get obsessed about? What scares me the most, when it comes to fully committing to things I feel passionate about?\r\n\r\nTake a look back at situations that felt disempowering -- and at situations that evoked some sort of helpless fury. When in the past have I given my power away to others, especially authority figures? Was it really about me? What did I choose in that moment?\r\n\r\n<i>Saturn (the traditional ruler of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>) currently in its own sign. </i>Here is a quote that fits really beautifully with this energy: <i>\"The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift of life is yours—it’s an amazing journey, and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. Your journey is determined by the choices you make. Your answers are determined by the questions you ask. Your destination is determined by the steps you take. Your future is determined by what you do today.\"</i> -- Dan Zadra\r\n\r\nWe are also encouraged during this Full Moon to acknowledge that we are all in this together, and that each one of us has the ability to effect change by tapping into our courage, and living our vision in every moment -- and this takes dropping into our hearts more fully.\r\n\r\nFor this <i>Full SuperBlue Moon/Lunar Eclipse</i> you could ask yourself these questions too: How might I learn about self-love? What if I chose to love the world as if it was a reflection of my heart and soul? What if I did that while expressing my unique soul-self, my unique spirit? Where do the inner and the outer experiences of love and connectedness meet?\r\n\r\nFlexibility, thinking outside the box, and self-care are critical during Eclipse season! Self-care is particularly important in times of stress and/or change — basic things, like making sure that we eat healthily and regularly, drink plenty of water, exercise, get plentiful rest -- and allow affection in from friends, family, or pets. Connecting to what feels supportive in order to stay grounded and regenerate ourselves can be very helpful as well.\r\n\r\nThere are so many more aspects we could talk about with this Lunar Eclipse chart, I\'d need an hour-and-a-half to cover it all — and that\'s just what I\'ll be doing during the 90-minute Monthly Forecasting Forum on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time)<b> </b><a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">click here to register</a>: <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ</a>) :-)\r\n\r\nThis <i>Lunar Eclipse</i> shows us that there is always work to be done -- and there\'s no need to get overwhelmed by that, because we all have the power to do it. All we have to do is look into our own heart and see the strength and love lying there. Ask yourself: Where could I be the voice? Where could I be or become the visionary? What if I accepted that I am the hero/heroine of my story? What is my role at this pivotal time?\r\n\r\nRemember: No effort is too small, no step too modest... And most important of all, perhaps: it\'s never too late to be the one who makes a difference -- especially when it comes from the heart and feels authentic!\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, trust that you have what it takes to make a difference for yourself and others. <i>And </i><a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/Lunar+Eclipse.aspx\">if you’d like to learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video</a>.\r\n\r\nA final note about Eclipses: they\'re consciousness upgrades, so for 7 - 10 days before and after one, we are usually in uncharted territory -- anything is possible and it\'s wise to expect the unexpected. Anything <i>brand-new</i> started during this time will likely not pan out the way we thought it would, often because important information comes to light only after Eclipse season is over.\r\n\r\nFor that reason, try to defer any major brand-new projects until after Feb. 25th, when this particular Eclipse season ends. That said, if something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic, allow it to “be”... Just be wary of the urge to push something forward merely to relieve anxiety or impatience.\r\n\r\nAllow for the upgrade to download, staying centered and doing your best to \"ground\" from within -- try using conscious breathing, and regard flexibility as a tool. Best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body…\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point or personal planets in 6-17 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo, Aquarius, Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>?

We enjoy intellectual debates. We are quicker and more alert; our powers of observation are particularly strong.\r\n\r\nWe have something interesting to say, and our perspective on issues can be delightfully unusual and surprisingly insightful. This makes for some great conversations. We are more attracted to scientific and/or metaphysical pursuits right now. Anything that promises progress and advancement for mankind has special appeal.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel a greater need for focusing on your future and any humanitarian causes. Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>?

We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<b> </b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (Feb. 2nd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong><i> </i><b>all day</b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Thursday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning, </strong>we<strong> </strong>seek a balance between head and heart, facts and faith, reason and intuition.

Body and mind can align; words and deeds connect with ease. As with any opportunity, we have to \"take\" this one: it will not happen by itself.\r\n\r\nWhat actions are calling to you today? How might those actions be connected to other like-minded people... or a vision you have for humanity\'s future?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <em>3-7 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 4:47pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>, where it will journey<b> <strong>until Monday late afternoon.</strong> </b>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (February 4th): </strong><em>t</em><em>he Moon remains in </em><em><i>relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking</i></em><strong><em><i> </i>Libra</em></strong><em> </em><strong>all day </strong>(see Saturday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning, </strong><em>a challenging Venus/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 1:07am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Thursday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (Feb 6th). </strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">This aspect asks that we question our most fundamental beliefs and conditioning around the visions we value (including the people that share those visions with us) and how we view our intimate relationships. </span>\r\n\r\nWe have the opportunity here to grow beyond our understanding of what our values get us. Issues connected to love, relationships, and whatever is most valuable to us, can seem overwhelming at this time. This is because we have a tendency to overindulge or over-promise.\r\n\r\nWe mean well, because we are feeling quite optimistic at this time -- but we may underestimate how much time we actually have, or how good a fit something actually is. Overspending could be connected to this aspect as well (as could making assumptions in our relationships); as best as you can, bring a non-judgmental awareness to any such tendencies.\r\n\r\nWhat are you observing about yourself and your relationships with others?

The 1</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">st</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> house is also about beginnings: the beginning of a project, the initial impulse of something new, how we meet people for the first time. The focus is on us: on our self-awareness and our passion for life. It’s time to look at ourselves: how well do we like what we see?</span>\n\n<b>2</b><b>nd</b><b> House:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is the area of self-worth and self-esteem, the things we value (including our finances and possessions) and our natural talents. Buying beautiful things and celebrating what we already have are at the top of our list. When a planet transits through this house, it is time to look at what we truly value in our lives -- and show others that we value and celebrate ourselves.</span>\n\n<b>3</b><b>rd</b><b> House:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is the area of early education, communication, short trips, immediate surroundings and day-to-day interactions (think community, neighbors and relatives). It is also connected to our siblings (especially the younger sibling) or people who feel like siblings. The focus is on clear communication: speaking, listening and sharing information. It is time to look at our day-to-day interactions with others to see how well we relate to them.</span>\n\n<b>4</b><b>th</b><b> House:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is the area of home, family, our inner world (especially inner emotional security and self-image), our past and memories, also of one parent (usually the mother). It is also connected to Real Estate. The focus is on our past: the experiences we had with our family and our home life -- bringing a conscious approach to the effects of the past is top of our list. It is time to look at any behavior patterns that were formed a long time ago to see how well they are working for us.</span>\n\n<b>5</b><b>th</b><b> House:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is the area of fun, romance, creativity, children (including our inner child) and healthy self-expression. The focus is on joy and coming from our heart; the 5</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is all about expressing ourselves in a creative way and celebrating ourselves as expressive beings. In the same spirit, the 5</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is also about speculation and risk-related activities. It is time to look and see if we are having enough fun and joy in our lives.</span>\n\n<b>6</b><b>th</b><b> House:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is the area of daily routines: work, work relationships, health and wellbeing habits. The focus is on our \"well-being\". Top of the list: creating order, diligence with work projects. It is time to look at our daily routines and see how well they are working for us. This house is also related to service: being of service, benefitting from the services of others.</span>\n\n<b>7</b><b>th</b><b> House:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is the area of one-on-one relationships (both personal and business). The focus is on \"others\": creating harmony and equality are top of our list. It is time to look at where we need to create more balance in our lives -- and at how to have fair exchanges with others.</span>\n\n<b>8</b><b>th</b><b> House:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is the area of intimacy, deep connections, endings-and-beginnings (death and regeneration, both physical and symbolic), power struggles, shared resources and financial matters that include others. The focus is on fully embracing others (and ourselves), connecting on very deep feeling levels, and tapping into what’s below the surface. It’s time to recognize and release habits, behaviors or situations that no longer empower us, so we can connect fully to our passions and life purpose, on an emotional level.</span>\n\n<b>9</b><b>th</b><b> House:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is the area of philosophy, belief systems, legal matters, higher education and long-distance travel. The focus is on expanding our horizons – possibly by connecting to people from other cultures and/or seeking for the meaning of life (on a mental level). Perhaps ironically, this is also the house of our “in-laws”.</span>\n\n<b>10</b><b>th</b><b> House:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is the area of our career, our long-term goals, what we want to accomplish in the world – and how we want to be seen by others, by the world (thus social standing and influence). We are building a legacy: something to leave behind for society to remember us by. The focus is on our career goals and on making a commitment to consistent and timely progress. This is the house of authority figures: law enforcement, teachers, bosses, father figures and patriarchs.</span>\n\n<b>11</b><b>th</b><b> House:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is the area of our future visions – and the wishes and dreams we share with like-minded others around making a better future for all. The focus is on group activities, group causes and networking – think “casual friendships”. If we have an older sibling, this is the relevant house.</span>\n\n<b>12</b><b>th</b><b> House:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is the area of our subconscious mind and direct connection to Source/God -- anything “otherworldly”. We need alone time and connection to our higher Selves, away from the hustle and bustle of the real world, to forge “ultimate understanding” and oneness with humanity. Our focus is on finishing up a cycle -- leaving behind anything that no longer serves our Soul’s journey on the next cycle of life.</span>\n\nThe Angular Houses: House 1, 4, 7, and 10:  correspond to the cardinal signs: planets in those houses have a greater desire for action than planets in other houses\n\nThe Succedent Houses: House 2, 5, 8, and 11: correspond to the fixed signs: planets in those houses tend to give will power and stability of purpose\n\nThe Cadent Houses: House 3, 6, 9, and 12: correspond to the mutable signs: planets in those houses show our ability to get along with others and our mental expression\n\nThe Houses of Life: House 1, 5, and 9: correspond to the fire signs: Houses of dynamic energy and enthusiasm\n\nThe Houses of Substance: House 2, 6, and 10: correspond to the Earth signs: Houses of material and practical manifestations\n\nThe Houses of Relationships: House 3, 7, and 11: correspond to the Air signs: Houses of intellectual and social inclinations\n\nThe Houses of Endings: House 4, 8, and 12: correspond to the Water signs: Houses of psychic or subjective phases of human nature, and of emotional nature\n\n<strong>Home assignment:</strong> Get familiar with the planets that rule your Sun-sign and your Ascendant.\n<h3><strong>More Course Materials:</strong></h3>\n<ul>\n 	<li><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Houses-on-chart-drawings.pdf\">Houses on chart drawings</a></li>\n 	<li><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Mutual-Reception-example-chart-copy.pdf\">Mutual Reception example chart copy</a></li>\n 	<li></li>\n</ul>\nAlways feel free to give me your Feedback.

Because you respond to life more instinctually, you are one who truly lives in the moment, the past having little to do with the decisions you make today. Your intuitive abilities will give you more direction as opposed to conscious, rational reasoning. Because you need total spontaneity, planning ahead is not your best method of operation and may meet with obstacles. Working best without pre-thinking or an elaborate, organized approach, you can totally plunge into new experiences as long as you have the freedom to explore. You may become confused in complex situations where a specific technique or action is expected of you.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because you were born when there was no light emanating from the Moon, your lesson is to learn your identity, who you are, and how to project it into the world. You may feel that you need to make your mark somewhere this lifetime. Magnetic and shining with personality, many actors and actresses are New Moon people working to project themselves into the spotlight as a career, having the ability to act on impulse and meeting the challenge of the moment. Self centeredness is a necessity for self development. Although the New Moon person needs a certain amount of attention, as the actor needs the audience to project to, the danger that might occur is that this projection is merely the ego bringing itself into view by casting a shadow over everything or everyone else around it. This can cause the alienation of others. It is important to remember your associations are more than the drama or symbology in which that person is involved. In a more refined approach, this projection can take the form of a purpose, or goal, an involvement that is more far reaching than the personal ego. </span>\n\n<b>CRESCENT PHASE</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, 45 deg - 90 deg</span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having passed through the darkness of the new Moon, a sliver of light has just begun to illuminate the path as the Moon embarks on it\'s new cycle.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your greatest challenge is to become independent of belief systems and concepts that are part of the past. This is necessary in order to fully realize selfhood and individuality. Be aware of comfortable ruts and habitual behavior. They represent the chains of the past. As you break free, opportunities will open up to you. The first is the hardest. It may feel as though you are going against the grain. In many ways you are. As you take the initiative to make changes you may find a lot of resistance in those who are used to relating to you in a certain way. They may feel threatened by your breaking from the status quo. By asserting your will and determination you will foster belief in yourself and develop creative new vision. </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n</span>\n\n<b>FIRST QUARTER PHASE</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 90 deg - 135 deg</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the third phase of Instinctive Action. Action is the essence of this phase, whether it is to clear the way for the idea to manifest, or to bring the essence of the idea into actualized being. You are the one that can always be expected to do the unexpected. Able to arise to the occasion, your innate impulsivity and creative ability thrive in situations that require, simultaneously, quick thinking and action.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may feel your life is characterized by crises that you either find yourself in, or that become crises by the way you handle situations. Constant mental and/or physical movement is a natural state for you to be in as it is necessary in your instinctual approach to tearing down the old to make way for the new. This energy can be applied to the physical world as well as to ideas and concepts i.e. antiquated ways of doing things. Getting the old out of the way is more important to you than the actual building of the new. You know that progress cannot continue by living in or holding onto the past. Because you push in order to keep things moving, you may invite crisis. You can handle it. Survival is something you learn early on. Managerial skills come naturally to you, because you handle crisis so well moment to moment, you can be trusted to manage the new into existence even if there is barely a vague outline of what the new actually is. Your lesson is to manage energy which has been released by crisis and then restructure it into new form in order to get on with business. </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n</span><b>GIBBOUS PHASE</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 135 deg - 180 deg</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Gibbous Phase is a transitional Phase, with the first three phases before it operating at a more instinctual, projective and experiential approach. During the Gibbous Phase, one is growing from instinctual, spontaneous movement, to conscious, deliberate action. This is why \"Analysis\" and \"Growth\" are key words describing this phase.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have a continual urge to make your life something of \"value\". Your constant analysis of how you are growing, where you are going and what you are doing helps you to create meaning in your life promoting a sense of purpose, thus, value. Self growth is important for the purpose of having an efficient operating system with which to be able to contribute to something of a more universal nature. Self revelation is one of the results of your constant questioning and evaluation of your own growth.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a personality, analyzing yourself helps to define yourself. This allows the perfecting and refining of techniques for projecting your identity into the world.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you went into the \"why\" stage of childhood you felt right at home and decided to stay there. You are likely to stand out in any group as you will need to question and understand the structure of any operation you are a part of.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Functioning efficiently is of great importance to you, perfecting what has been created. By understanding the structure of how something works, you are able to identify its working elements and can then implement them into new working patterns, promoting growth for yourself and for others. This is how you perform best. Once you have decided on some plan or course of action, it is hard for you to understand why everyone else doesn\'t do the same. </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n</span>\n\n<b>FULL MOON PHASE</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 180 deg - 225 deg</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is possible that in the development of your personality there may have been a pull between the mother and father functions in your life and that until you came to a \"conscious realization\" of what you were projecting as an individual, your identity could have been somewhat unstable. It is apparent in your direct and concise manner of speech that you communicate clearly and openly with others. Your interest in astrology goes deeper than most people and this shows your need for meaning in your life.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\"Anything in the Full Moon phase implies an inherent instability in that function UNTIL the person integrates the opposing pulls of the \"parts\" of his personality that make up that total function. He may be torn between two ways of handling things in that part of himself. This happens so that he can come to SOME NEW AWARENESS. The phase also implies that the function is, of itself, perfected as a function. It merely needs a purpose, a meaning, a CONTENT, outside of itself, that the ILLUMINATION the opposing pulls can bring could provide. Instability is the result of NOT integrating two polar forces. When one DOES integrate opposites he has reached a culmination of perfecting complimentary forces, ability to operate for a common goal\". </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n</span><b>DISSEMINATING PHASE</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, 225 deg - 270 deg</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You are a person who will leave a lasting mental impression on those you make contact with. Spreading ideas and information will be successful for you as long as you think before you act. Being born in the second stage of \"conscious operation\" you possess an innate objectivity with an ability to keep your eye on the big picture. It is easy for you to bypass your own ego when communicating with others so that the true essence behind the subject is able to come through. You may have a tendency to get caught up in causes. You may also tend to feel responsible to those you are attempting to enlighten. Remember , you can lead a horse to water, be careful you don\'t end up drinking it for them also. Once you have given the message, let go and know that you have planted the seed and passed the torch. It is now up to the receiver to take the responsibility for the gift of knowledge that has been imparted to them. </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n</span><b>LAST QUARTER PHASE</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 270 deg - 315 deg</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just as it sounds, this is a time of endings, when the energy of the Moon is winding down towards the Balsamic Phase. This Phase has been characterized as a \"crisis in consciousness.\" As the First Quarter Phase is described as a \"crisis in action,\" the external organization of energy, creating a strong foundation to build upon, the \"crisis in consciousness\" is an internalized re-organization of energy.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is a time of turning away from what has been, reflecting feelings of discontent towards those passions characteristic of the times you found it hard to relate to the status quo as a child. Perhaps you found yourself responding to the enthusiasm of the status quo with a not enthusiastic \"this is it?\" attitude. Always standing a little apart from your peers, you had your own internal processes at work guiding and directing you in life. You may have needed a lot of alone time. Perhaps you needed more rest as a child. Your way of processing is through the unconscious state. Naps as a child would have helped you sort life out, and meditation as an adult will give you the internal clarity needed to separate from the day to day hectic-ness so prevalent in the physical world.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can be a master of the game, wearing the appropriate mask of participation. But what others may see isn\'t necessarily what they get. All the time, you are undergoing ideological transformation. As the butterfly suddenly appears from its chrysalis, you to will emerge entirely new, much to the amazement of all who thought they new you quite well.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dreams are a vehicle for understand your internal process. Keeping a dream journal and reading your story as it unfolds can bring what is unconscious, to the light of understanding. </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n</span><b>BALSAMIC PHASE</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, 315 deg - 360 deg.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a very karmic lifetime in which you are meeting all those with which you have unfinished business from the previous seven lifetimes before this one. Therefore, you may encounter many brief, but intense relationships. There is a need for completion, a sense of closure to occur concerning these individuals. This can be confusing at times. It may be helpful to ask the question either to the person or to yourself, \"Is there anything I\'ve ever needed to say, do or give to you, let me do it now. If there is anything you\'ve needed to say, do or give to me let\'s not put it off any longer, let us complete it now.\" If you cannot finish something in person, you need to ask in meditation to be released, possibly to forgive or to be forgiven. Having a full past of prior lifetimes to reflect upon, you are a born visionary, a natural psychic with a bridge to the future.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You realized at an early age that you were different and may have pretended to be like everyone else to fend off alienation from peers. You may have been described as an unusual child, and may have even been regarded as the black sheep of the family. Others will recognize your special-ness. One of your unique qualities is to be able to take the key meaning of all situations and distill it into its wisdom essence. You can then transfer this awareness and consciousness in others to live beyond this physical life. Your commitment is to the future. By reckoning with the past, you can consciously make a break with it. You sense that something larger than yourself can manifest through you if you make the commitment to allow it to do so. For one to understand you at all one needs to look at what is happening THROUGH you. The transmission of essential knowledge is your purpose.</span>\n\nAlways feel free to give me your Feedback.

Because you respond to life more instinctually, you are one who truly lives in the moment, the past having little to do with the decisions you make today. Your intuitive abilities will give you more direction as opposed to conscious, rational reasoning. Because you need total spontaneity, planning ahead is not your best method of operation and may meet with obstacles. Working best without pre-thinking or an elaborate, organized approach, you can totally plunge into new experiences as long as you have the freedom to explore. You may become confused in complex situations where a specific technique or action is expected of you.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because you were born when there was no light emanating from the Moon, your lesson is to learn your identity, who you are, and how to project it into the world. You may feel that you need to make your mark somewhere this lifetime. Magnetic and shining with personality, many actors and actresses are New Moon people working to project themselves into the spotlight as a career, having the ability to act on impulse and meeting the challenge of the moment. Self centeredness is a necessity for self development. Although the New Moon person needs a certain amount of attention, as the actor needs the audience to project to, the danger that might occur is that this projection is merely the ego bringing itself into view by casting a shadow over everything or everyone else around it. This can cause the alienation of others. It is important to remember your associations are more than the drama or symbology in which that person is involved. In a more refined approach, this projection can take the form of a purpose, or goal, an involvement that is more far reaching than the personal ego. </span>\r\n\r\n<b>CRESCENT PHASE</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, 45 deg - 90 deg</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having passed through the darkness of the new Moon, a sliver of light has just begun to illuminate the path as the Moon embarks on it\'s new cycle.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your greatest challenge is to become independent of belief systems and concepts that are part of the past. This is necessary in order to fully realize selfhood and individuality. Be aware of comfortable ruts and habitual behavior. They represent the chains of the past. As you break free, opportunities will open up to you. The first is the hardest. It may feel as though you are going against the grain. In many ways you are. As you take the initiative to make changes you may find a lot of resistance in those who are used to relating to you in a certain way. They may feel threatened by your breaking from the status quo. By asserting your will and determination you will foster belief in yourself and develop creative new vision. </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<b>FIRST QUARTER PHASE</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 90 deg - 135 deg</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the third phase of Instinctive Action. Action is the essence of this phase, whether it is to clear the way for the idea to manifest, or to bring the essence of the idea into actualized being. You are the one that can always be expected to do the unexpected. Able to arise to the occasion, your innate impulsivity and creative ability thrive in situations that require, simultaneously, quick thinking and action.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may feel your life is characterized by crises that you either find yourself in, or that become crises by the way you handle situations. Constant mental and/or physical movement is a natural state for you to be in as it is necessary in your instinctual approach to tearing down the old to make way for the new. This energy can be applied to the physical world as well as to ideas and concepts i.e. antiquated ways of doing things. Getting the old out of the way is more important to you than the actual building of the new. You know that progress cannot continue by living in or holding onto the past. Because you push in order to keep things moving, you may invite crisis. You can handle it. Survival is something you learn early on. Managerial skills come naturally to you, because you handle crisis so well moment to moment, you can be trusted to manage the new into existence even if there is barely a vague outline of what the new actually is. Your lesson is to manage energy which has been released by crisis and then restructure it into new form in order to get on with business. </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><b>GIBBOUS PHASE</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 135 deg - 180 deg</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Gibbous Phase is a transitional Phase, with the first three phases before it operating at a more instinctual, projective and experiential approach. During the Gibbous Phase, one is growing from instinctual, spontaneous movement, to conscious, deliberate action. This is why \"Analysis\" and \"Growth\" are key words describing this phase.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have a continual urge to make your life something of \"value\". Your constant analysis of how you are growing, where you are going and what you are doing helps you to create meaning in your life promoting a sense of purpose, thus, value. Self growth is important for the purpose of having an efficient operating system with which to be able to contribute to something of a more universal nature. Self revelation is one of the results of your constant questioning and evaluation of your own growth.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a personality, analyzing yourself helps to define yourself. This allows the perfecting and refining of techniques for projecting your identity into the world.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you went into the \"why\" stage of childhood you felt right at home and decided to stay there. You are likely to stand out in any group as you will need to question and understand the structure of any operation you are a part of.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Functioning efficiently is of great importance to you, perfecting what has been created. By understanding the structure of how something works, you are able to identify its working elements and can then implement them into new working patterns, promoting growth for yourself and for others. This is how you perform best. Once you have decided on some plan or course of action, it is hard for you to understand why everyone else doesn\'t do the same. </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<b>FULL MOON PHASE</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 180 deg - 225 deg</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is possible that in the development of your personality there may have been a pull between the mother and father functions in your life and that until you came to a \"conscious realization\" of what you were projecting as an individual, your identity could have been somewhat unstable. It is apparent in your direct and concise manner of speech that you communicate clearly and openly with others. Your interest in astrology goes deeper than most people and this shows your need for meaning in your life.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\"Anything in the Full Moon phase implies an inherent instability in that function UNTIL the person integrates the opposing pulls of the \"parts\" of his personality that make up that total function. He may be torn between two ways of handling things in that part of himself. This happens so that he can come to SOME NEW AWARENESS. The phase also implies that the function is, of itself, perfected as a function. It merely needs a purpose, a meaning, a CONTENT, outside of itself, that the ILLUMINATION the opposing pulls can bring could provide. Instability is the result of NOT integrating two polar forces. When one DOES integrate opposites he has reached a culmination of perfecting complimentary forces, ability to operate for a common goal\". </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><b>DISSEMINATING PHASE</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, 225 deg - 270 deg</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You are a person who will leave a lasting mental impression on those you make contact with. Spreading ideas and information will be successful for you as long as you think before you act. Being born in the second stage of \"conscious operation\" you possess an innate objectivity with an ability to keep your eye on the big picture. It is easy for you to bypass your own ego when communicating with others so that the true essence behind the subject is able to come through. You may have a tendency to get caught up in causes. You may also tend to feel responsible to those you are attempting to enlighten. Remember , you can lead a horse to water, be careful you don\'t end up drinking it for them also. Once you have given the message, let go and know that you have planted the seed and passed the torch. It is now up to the receiver to take the responsibility for the gift of knowledge that has been imparted to them. </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><b>LAST QUARTER PHASE</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 270 deg - 315 deg</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just as it sounds, this is a time of endings, when the energy of the Moon is winding down towards the Balsamic Phase. This Phase has been characterized as a \"crisis in consciousness.\" As the First Quarter Phase is described as a \"crisis in action,\" the external organization of energy, creating a strong foundation to build upon, the \"crisis in consciousness\" is an internalized re-organization of energy.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is a time of turning away from what has been, reflecting feelings of discontent towards those passions characteristic of the times you found it hard to relate to the status quo as a child. Perhaps you found yourself responding to the enthusiasm of the status quo with a not enthusiastic \"this is it?\" attitude. Always standing a little apart from your peers, you had your own internal processes at work guiding and directing you in life. You may have needed a lot of alone time. Perhaps you needed more rest as a child. Your way of processing is through the unconscious state. Naps as a child would have helped you sort life out, and meditation as an adult will give you the internal clarity needed to separate from the day to day hectic-ness so prevalent in the physical world.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can be a master of the game, wearing the appropriate mask of participation. But what others may see isn\'t necessarily what they get. All the time, you are undergoing ideological transformation. As the butterfly suddenly appears from its chrysalis, you to will emerge entirely new, much to the amazement of all who thought they new you quite well.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dreams are a vehicle for understand your internal process. Keeping a dream journal and reading your story as it unfolds can bring what is unconscious, to the light of understanding. </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><b>BALSAMIC PHASE</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, 315 deg - 360 deg.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a very karmic lifetime in which you are meeting all those with which you have unfinished business from the previous seven lifetimes before this one. Therefore, you may encounter many brief, but intense relationships. There is a need for completion, a sense of closure to occur concerning these individuals. This can be confusing at times. It may be helpful to ask the question either to the person or to yourself, \"Is there anything I\'ve ever needed to say, do or give to you, let me do it now. If there is anything you\'ve needed to say, do or give to me let\'s not put it off any longer, let us complete it now.\" If you cannot finish something in person, you need to ask in meditation to be released, possibly to forgive or to be forgiven. Having a full past of prior lifetimes to reflect upon, you are a born visionary, a natural psychic with a bridge to the future.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You realized at an early age that you were different and may have pretended to be like everyone else to fend off alienation from peers. You may have been described as an unusual child, and may have even been regarded as the black sheep of the family. Others will recognize your special-ness. One of your unique qualities is to be able to take the key meaning of all situations and distill it into its wisdom essence. You can then transfer this awareness and consciousness in others to live beyond this physical life. Your commitment is to the future. By reckoning with the past, you can consciously make a break with it. You sense that something larger than yourself can manifest through you if you make the commitment to allow it to do so. For one to understand you at all one needs to look at what is happening THROUGH you. The transmission of essential knowledge is your purpose.</span>\r\n<h3><strong>More Course Materials:</strong></h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Moon-Nodes-1.pdf\">Moon Nodes</a></li>\r\n 	<li><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Moon-phases.pdf\">Moon phases</a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\nAlways feel free to give me your Feedback.

The 1</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">st</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> house is also about beginnings: the beginning of a project, the initial impulse of something new, how we meet people for the first time. The focus is on us: on our self-awareness and our passion for life. It’s time to look at ourselves: how well do we like what we see?</span>\r\n\r\n<b>2</b><b>nd</b><b> House:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is the area of self-worth and self-esteem, the things we value (including our finances and possessions) and our natural talents. Buying beautiful things and celebrating what we already have are at the top of our list. When a planet transits through this house, it is time to look at what we truly value in our lives -- and show others that we value and celebrate ourselves.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>3</b><b>rd</b><b> House:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is the area of early education, communication, short trips, immediate surroundings and day-to-day interactions (think community, neighbors and relatives). It is also connected to our siblings (especially the younger sibling) or people who feel like siblings. The focus is on clear communication: speaking, listening and sharing information. It is time to look at our day-to-day interactions with others to see how well we relate to them.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>4</b><b>th</b><b> House:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is the area of home, family, our inner world (especially inner emotional security and self-image), our past and memories, also of one parent (usually the mother). It is also connected to Real Estate. The focus is on our past: the experiences we had with our family and our home life -- bringing a conscious approach to the effects of the past is top of our list. It is time to look at any behavior patterns that were formed a long time ago to see how well they are working for us.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>5</b><b>th</b><b> House:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is the area of fun, romance, creativity, children (including our inner child) and healthy self-expression. The focus is on joy and coming from our heart; the 5</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is all about expressing ourselves in a creative way and celebrating ourselves as expressive beings. In the same spirit, the 5</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is also about speculation and risk-related activities. It is time to look and see if we are having enough fun and joy in our lives.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>6</b><b>th</b><b> House:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is the area of daily routines: work, work relationships, health and wellbeing habits. The focus is on our \"well-being\". Top of the list: creating order, diligence with work projects. It is time to look at our daily routines and see how well they are working for us. This house is also related to service: being of service, benefitting from the services of others.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>7</b><b>th</b><b> House:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is the area of one-on-one relationships (both personal and business). The focus is on \"others\": creating harmony and equality are top of our list. It is time to look at where we need to create more balance in our lives -- and at how to have fair exchanges with others.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>8</b><b>th</b><b> House:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is the area of intimacy, deep connections, endings-and-beginnings (death and regeneration, both physical and symbolic), power struggles, shared resources and financial matters that include others. The focus is on fully embracing others (and ourselves), connecting on very deep feeling levels, and tapping into what’s below the surface. It’s time to recognize and release habits, behaviors or situations that no longer empower us, so we can connect fully to our passions and life purpose, on an emotional level.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>9</b><b>th</b><b> House:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is the area of philosophy, belief systems, legal matters, higher education and long-distance travel. The focus is on expanding our horizons – possibly by connecting to people from other cultures and/or seeking for the meaning of life (on a mental level). Perhaps ironically, this is also the house of our “in-laws”.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>10</b><b>th</b><b> House:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is the area of our career, our long-term goals, what we want to accomplish in the world – and how we want to be seen by others, by the world (thus social standing and influence). We are building a legacy: something to leave behind for society to remember us by. The focus is on our career goals and on making a commitment to consistent and timely progress. This is the house of authority figures: law enforcement, teachers, bosses, father figures and patriarchs.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>11</b><b>th</b><b> House:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is the area of our future visions – and the wishes and dreams we share with like-minded others around making a better future for all. The focus is on group activities, group causes and networking – think “casual friendships”. If we have an older sibling, this is the relevant house.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>12</b><b>th</b><b> House:</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is the area of our subconscious mind and direct connection to Source/God -- anything “otherworldly”. We need alone time and connection to our higher Selves, away from the hustle and bustle of the real world, to forge “ultimate understanding” and oneness with humanity. Our focus is on finishing up a cycle -- leaving behind anything that no longer serves our Soul’s journey on the next cycle of life.</span>\r\n\r\nThe Angular Houses: House 1, 4, 7, and 10:  correspond to the cardinal signs: planets in those houses have a greater desire for action than planets in other houses\r\n\r\nThe Succedent Houses: House 2, 5, 8, and 11: correspond to the fixed signs: planets in those houses tend to give will power and stability of purpose\r\n\r\nThe Cadent Houses: House 3, 6, 9, and 12: correspond to the mutable signs: planets in those houses show our ability to get along with others and our mental expression\r\n\r\nThe Houses of Life: House 1, 5, and 9: correspond to the fire signs: Houses of dynamic energy and enthusiasm\r\n\r\nThe Houses of Substance: House 2, 6, and 10: correspond to the Earth signs: Houses of material and practical manifestations\r\n\r\nThe Houses of Relationships: House 3, 7, and 11: correspond to the Air signs: Houses of intellectual and social inclinations\r\n\r\nThe Houses of Endings: House 4, 8, and 12: correspond to the Water signs: Houses of psychic or subjective phases of human nature, and of emotional nature\r\n\r\n<strong>Home assignment:</strong> Get familiar with the planets that rule your Sun-sign and your Ascendant.\r\n<h3><strong>More Course Materials:</strong></h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Houses-on-chart-drawings.pdf\">Houses on chart drawings</a></li>\r\n 	<li><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/Mutual-Reception-example-chart-copy.pdf\">Mutual Reception example chart copy</a></li>\r\n 	<li></li>\r\n</ul>\r\nAlways feel free to give me your Feedback.

I was quite aware of my obsessive thinking -- I had to give myself lots of permission to allow thoughts to move through awareness, then release them as much as possible -- and this helped me get centered in love again rather than fear. I did my best to live from a place of  \"all is well\" and \"there is no-one to blame\"; this served all my interactions -- especially the ones with myself ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement: </strong>\r\n\r\nLast chance to sign up for my MONTHLY FORECASTING FORUM, this on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at </b>11am PST/<b>2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time).<b> Please note that we have a Lunar Eclipse in Leo this week, and a Solar Eclipse in Aquarius coming up in mid February!</b>\r\n\r\nIf you want to align yourself with these powerful, evolutionary Lunations and further your Soul\'s journey, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation.\r\n\r\nOther than <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/readings/\">booking a reading</a> with me, this is the highest level of support you can get -- and it\'s <strong>still only $24</strong> for the 90+ minute webinar. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\"><b>To register now, click here </b></a>\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: On Wednesday morning, a powerful Full-Super-Blue-Moon/Lunar Eclipse becomes exact on Wednesday morning and Mercury changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius.\r\n\r\nThere will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Tuesday late morning (for a little over 2 hours), Thursday early morning (for a little over 8 hours), and Friday night/Saturday very early morning (for a little over 14.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (January 29th):</strong><em> the Moon remains in <i>protective, nurturing </i><strong>Cancer </strong></em><strong>all day.</strong> It will journey there <b>until Tuesday late evening</b>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, otherwise you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<b><strong>Monday late</strong> morning</b>, we are in a state of “flow” and emotional connection to others; spiritual and creative endeavors are favored. <i></i>\r\n\r\n<b><strong>Monday early afternoon </strong></b>requires some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice, one that demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to connect to like-minded people that share our vision — and on the other hand, the need to nurture ourselves and stay in touch with our feeling body.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late evening</strong>, we may take an all-or-northing attitude toward others; this could drive some tension or oppositional behaviors... As best you can, remain flexible and practice self-care — take good care of your emotional and physical body -- that way, you\'ll remain able to empower yourself and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (January 30th): </strong><em>the Moon remains in <i>protective, nurturing </i><strong>Cancer</strong></em><strong><em> </em>until 1:53pm EST (</strong>see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 11:40am EST, </strong>we enter a <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 2 hours, <strong>until 1:53pm EST.</strong> </span>Use this intuitive time to find balance between nurturing and self-care, versus achieving your goals. As always during VoC, take it easy -- go with the flow and avoid starting anything brand-new.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan late morning and early afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 1:53pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Thursday afternoon</strong><b>. </b>We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the Lunar Eclipse</i> -- a very powerful Full Moon (exact on Wednesday morning).\r\n\r\nWe all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-) So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can.\r\n\r\nFun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (January 31st): </strong><i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><strong>all day </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday morning, at 8:27am EST: </b><i>the Moon opposes the Sun</i> <i>in 11.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo</i></b> -- <em>a very powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse</em> becomes exact. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered <em>Leo</em> Tuesday at 1:53pm EST. </strong>\r\n\r\nOnce every six months, the Sun, Moon, and Earth finally align precisely enough for a Solar or Lunar Eclipse to occur; Eclipses are always powerfully connected to the Moon Nodes and thus to our Soul\'s Journey. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/powerful-full-supermoon-lunar-eclipse-in-leo-jan-feb-2018/\">If you’d like to learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video</a>.\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon is <i>the first of two Eclipses within the next four weeks and it\'s extra-powerful -- firstly</i><i>, because it\'s</i> a <i>SuperMoon -- </i>these occur when the Moon is either Full or New, while at its closest distance to the Earth; they are therefore more powerful. This often means an increase in emotional reactions, plus greater awareness around the issues connected to the particular Full Moon energy in question.\r\n\r\nSecondly, as the second Full Moon of this calendar month, it is also a \"<i>Blue Moon\" -- so </i>I think we can go ahead and call it a SuperBlue Moon :-)\r\n\r\nGiven that our SuperBlue Full Moon is happening in the <b>Leo</b>/<b>Aquarius</b> polarity, there\'s extra emphasis on increasing awareness of our mind\'s activities, and on opening our heart chakras. As we do this, we can open more to joy, and be more playful.\r\n\r\nLunar Eclipses generally direct our attention to our \"emotional body” and our relationships; they also connect us more fully to our Soul’s journey (as shown by the Moon Nodes). This particular Eclipse focuses on the relationship between the individual (<b>Leo</b>) and the collective (<b>Aquarius</b>).\r\n\r\nWe become aware of what has been suppressed or ignored -- or, this being a North Node Eclipse, what needs to be embraced, integrated and explored -- in regards to the <b>Leo</b> energy.\r\n\r\nIt\'s been 19 years since we experienced a Lunar Eclipse in this degree... Think back to Jan. 31st, 1999: What did I need to open my heart to back then? What became more clear at that time, in regards to exploring joy? Was I able to get in touch with my inner child?\r\n\r\nThis is the third Lunar Eclipse in a 23-month cycle of Eclipses, all connected to the <b>Leo/Aquarius</b> polarity; the cycle in question began in February 2017 with a Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b> and will last until Jan. 2019, ending with yet another Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b>.\r\n\r\nThink back to February of last year: What started shifting for me, in my attitudes towards the collective (or \"humanity\")? How about like-minded people? Was there likewise a shift in my desire for more joy? Self-expression? Heartfelt actions? If I think back to the last Solar Eclipse in Leo from August 21st, 2017, what has brought the possibility for more joy into my life?\r\n\r\nLife-changing revelations are more likely over the next two weeks — and with them, shifts in our consciousness — and the impact of an Eclipse\'s energy also lasts longer than a regular Lunation (anywhere from 6 months to 2 years!)\r\n\r\nI will talk about the upcoming Eclipses in more detail in my next Forecasting Forum — if you want to know how the Eclipses are going to impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up, to our own birth charts. The Forum will be live on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time); <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">for more info or to register, click here</a>\r\n\r\nThis particular Eclipse focuses on authentic self-expression and creativity. Ask yourself: What might open up if I expressed myself with my heart as my center? With more courage? If I were too much in my head, what would tip me off to that? What might my world look like, if I allowed my light to shine just a little brighter?\r\n\r\nWe are also invited to allow head and heart to merge, bringing about a brighter future for humankind -- what would it look like if I allowed that merger? What if I chose, right here and now, to contribute to humanity from a courageous, heart-centered and authentic place? What if I simply chose that, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>Leo</b> represents our individual expression, the kind of light we came to shine, joy we came to spread. <b>Leo</b> is the sign of individual creativity; <b>Aquarius</b> represents the power of collaboration, where the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts. <b>Aquarius</b>, connects us to the complex patterns formed by many coming together<i>.</i>\r\n\r\nThis means it\'s important to be especially aware and responsible when connecting with others. As best as you can, get present and ask yourself: What am I bringing forth? What are my intentions? What is in my heart that longs to be expressed? Do I have the courage to stand in my authentic self-expression?\r\n\r\nIf we want to see a greater shift in the world at large (an Aquarian concern), we must each do our own part and express our unique gifts (Leo’s imperative). That said, if we don\'t come from the heart -- or if we get stuck over-thinking things and/or being overly concerned with what other people are thinking -- we will not be able to fulfill on that vision.\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> makes a Quincunx to Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>. </i>This might bring some internal discomfort; we need to make inner adjustments here. It nudges us to tune into our intuition, and create from a place of love rather than fear.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What if it were possible to get really in tune with my intuitive feeling body <i>and</i> express myself fully, with courage and without compromise? Might an introverted approach like that serve my extroverted, unique expression of Self? How can I transform lower vibrational feelings? For example, how might I transform fear into love? What approach might support such a transformation?\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun (ruler of Leo) in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> conjoins the South Node and Venus in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>. </i>This reminds us that each one of us has an electromagnetic field, and are an integral part of a much larger field, where our thoughts, growth, and actions interweave and affect the course of humanity. Together, we are exponentially more powerful.\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) is currently in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>. It\'s making a Square to Pluto and Mercury in </i><b><i>Capricorn.</i></b><i> </i>We are invited to be more honest with ourselves and others (especially about our fears and desires), and to pay attention to our thinking patterns, especially in regards to achieving things out there in the world.\r\n\r\nIn fact, you could say we are being invited to bring an innovative approach to who we are \"out there in the world\" -- and to our interactions with others… In other words: To step it up -- and walk our unique path. To inspire others. Life is too short to waste on things we are less than fully passionate about, that don\'t fully express our uniqueness.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What is being radically transformed in my life? Where am I being invited to confront outdated thought-forms? What\'s the relationship between my inner teenager and my inner adult?\r\n\r\nPluto represents the courage it takes to face our shadows and fears -- and if we can do that, we can discover our true motivations, desires -- and our true power. What do I get obsessed about? What scares me the most, when it comes to fully committing to things I feel passionate about?\r\n\r\nTake a look back at situations that felt disempowering -- and at situations that evoked some sort of helpless fury. When in the past have I given my power away to others, especially authority figures? Was it really about me? What did I choose in that moment?\r\n\r\n<i>Saturn (the traditional ruler of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>) currently in its own sign. </i>Here is a quote that fits really beautifully with this energy: <i>\"The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift of life is yours—it’s an amazing journey, and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. Your journey is determined by the choices you make. Your answers are determined by the questions you ask. Your destination is determined by the steps you take. Your future is determined by what you do today.\"</i> -- Dan Zadra\r\n\r\nWe are also encouraged during this Full Moon to acknowledge that we are all in this together, and that each one of us has the ability to effect change by tapping into our courage, and living our vision in every moment -- and this takes dropping into our hearts more fully.\r\n\r\nFor this <i>Full SuperBlue Moon/Lunar Eclipse</i> you could ask yourself these questions too: How might I learn about self-love? What if I chose to love the world as if it was a reflection of my heart and soul? What if I did that while expressing my unique soul-self, my unique spirit? Where do the inner and the outer experiences of love and connectedness meet?\r\n\r\nFlexibility, thinking outside the box, and self-care are critical during Eclipse season! Self-care is particularly important in times of stress and/or change — basic things, like making sure that we eat healthily and regularly, drink plenty of water, exercise, get plentiful rest -- and allow affection in from friends, family, or pets. Connecting to what feels supportive in order to stay grounded and regenerate ourselves can be very helpful as well.\r\n\r\nThere are so many more aspects we could talk about with this Lunar Eclipse chart, I\'d need an hour-and-a-half to cover it all — and that\'s just what I\'ll be doing during the 90-minute Monthly Forecasting Forum on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time)<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">click here to register</a> :-)\r\n\r\nThis <i>Lunar Eclipse</i> shows us that there is always work to be done -- and there\'s no need to get overwhelmed by that, because we all have the power to do it. All we have to do is look into our own heart and see the strength and love lying there. Ask yourself: Where could I be the voice? Where could I be or become the visionary? What if I accepted that I am the hero/heroine of my story? What is my role at this pivotal time?\r\n\r\nRemember: No effort is too small, no step too modest... And most important of all, perhaps: it\'s never too late to be the one who makes a difference -- especially when it comes from the heart and feels authentic!\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, trust that you have what it takes to make a difference for yourself and others. <i>And </i><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/powerful-full-supermoon-lunar-eclipse-in-leo-jan-feb-2018/\">if you’d like to learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video</a>.\r\n\r\nA final note about Eclipses: they\'re consciousness upgrades, so for 7 - 10 days before and after one, we are usually in uncharted territory -- anything is possible and it\'s wise to expect the unexpected. Anything <i>brand-new</i> started during this time will likely not pan out the way we thought it would, often because important information comes to light only after Eclipse season is over.\r\n\r\nFor that reason, try to defer any major brand-new projects until after Feb. 25th, when this particular Eclipse season ends. That said, if something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic, allow it to “be”... Just be wary of the urge to push something forward merely to relieve anxiety or impatience.\r\n\r\nAllow for the upgrade to download, staying centered and doing your best to \"ground\" from within -- try using conscious breathing, and regard flexibility as a tool. Best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body…\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point or personal planets in 6-17 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo, Aquarius, Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s Full Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 8:39am EST,</strong><strong> </strong><i>Mercury </i><i>leaves practical, cautious, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><i>and moves into</i> <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking, objective </i><b><i>Aquarius.</i></b><b><i> </i></b>It will journey there <b>until February 17th.<i> </i></b>For the next three weeks, we tend to contradict others more quickly, and offer a different perspective. We enjoy intellectual debates. We are quicker and more alert; our powers of observation are particularly strong.\r\n\r\nWe have something interesting to say, and our perspective on issues can be delightfully unusual and surprisingly insightful. This makes for some great conversations. We are more attracted to scientific and/or metaphysical pursuits right now. Anything that promises progress and advancement for mankind has special appeal.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel a greater need for focusing on your future and any humanitarian causes. Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will most likely feel more chatty for the next 3 weeks. </i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (February 1st): </strong><i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving</i><strong><em> Leo</em></strong><em> </em><strong>until 2:13pm EST </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 5:59am EST, </strong>we enter a <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 8 hours, <strong>until 2:13pm EST. </strong></span>During this intuitive time, have fun connecting with others and doing things that bring you joy — explore something different, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday morning until early afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 2:13pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into detail-oriented, practical</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <strong>until Saturday late afternoon</strong>; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<b> </b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (Feb. 2nd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong><i> </i><b>all day</b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Thursday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning, </strong>we<strong> </strong>seek a balance between head and heart, facts and faith, reason and intuition. That said, if you can achieve that balance, it’s a great day for being of service.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday early afternoon</strong> calls for some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice. Making this choice demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to engage in humanitarian causes — and on the other hand, the need to  tend to our daily routines.\r\n\r\n<b>Friday late evening</b>, we can potentially accomplish quite a bit: The Moon in <b>Virgo</b> makes a harmonious aspect to Pluto in <b>Capricorn</b>. Virgo and Capricorn are Earth signs, so getting down to business and focusing on the task at hand takes less effort than normal. We are able to tackle anything that requires attention to detail and maybe even implement health routines or other systems that support our long-term goals.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (February 3rd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><em> </em><strong>until 4:47pm EST </strong>(see Thursday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 2:07am EST, </strong>we enter a <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 14.5 hours, <strong>until 4:47pm EST. </strong></span>Use this intuitive time to get organized, improve daily routines, and to develop more awareness of how that all fits in with expanding intimate connections with others.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday very early morning until the late afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday late morning, </strong><em>an opportune Mercury/Mars aspect </em>becomes exact at 10:57am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Friday morning on; it will remain strong until Sunday evening. </strong>This aspect provides an opportunity to connect thought to action. Body and mind can align; words and deeds connect with ease. As with any opportunity, we have to \"take\" this one: it will not happen by itself.\r\n\r\nWhat actions are calling to you today? How might those actions be connected to other like-minded people... or a vision you have for humanity\'s future?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <em>3-7 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 4:47pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>, where it will journey<b> <strong>until Monday late afternoon.</strong> </b>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (February 4th): </strong><em>t</em><em>he Moon remains in </em><em><i>relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking</i></em><strong><em><i> </i>Libra</em></strong><em> </em><strong>all day </strong>(see Saturday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning, </strong><em>a challenging Venus/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 1:07am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Thursday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (Feb 6th). </strong>This aspect asks that we question our most fundamental beliefs and conditioning around the visions we value (and the people that share those visions) and how we view our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\nWe have the opportunity here to grow beyond our understanding of what our values get us. Issues connected to love, relationships, and whatever is most valuable to us, can seem overwhelming at this time. This is because we have a tendency to overindulge or over-promise.\r\n\r\nWe mean well, because we are feeling quite optimistic at this time -- but we may underestimate how much time we actually have, or how good a fit something actually is. Overspending could be connected to this aspect as well (as could making assumptions in our relationships); as best as you can, bring a non-judgmental awareness to any such tendencies.\r\n\r\nWhat are you observing about yourself and your relationships with others? What is enough... and what is too much?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>18-25 degrees</em></i><i> of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (Feb. 5th): </strong><em>t</em><em>h</em><em>e </em><em>Moon remains in </em><em><i>relationship-oriented</i></em><strong><em><i>, </i></em></strong><em><i>harmony-seeking</i></em><em> <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong><em> </em>until 10:56pm EST (see Saturday late afternoon for details). At 1:46pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 9 hours, <strong>until 10:56pm EST</strong>.  You may want to plan Monday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>At</strong> <strong>10:56pm EST</strong>, the Moon moves into <strong>Scorpio</strong>, where it will journey <strong>until next week Thursday morning </strong>(Feb. 8th). This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the last Quarter Moon (which, will be exact next week Wednesday -- Feb. 7th). More about all the details in next week’s forecast ;-)<b> </b>\r\n<h3><b>One Last Announcement:</b></h3>\r\nJoin me for my next FORECASTING FORUM, <b>Saturday</b>, <b>Feb</b>.<b> 3rd, 2018 at </b>11am<b> </b>PST/<b> 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time).<b> Please note </b>that we will be talking about the upcoming<b> Eclipses: Lunar Eclipse/SuperMoon in Leo </b>and<b> Solar Eclipse in Aquarius.</b>\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how to align yourself with these potent energies coming our way, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\"><b>To register now, click here</b></a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Here is a testimonial from one of our participants right after joining our most recent Forum:</strong>\r\n<blockquote><i>\"Sonja\'s Forecasting Forums make Astrology accessible for anyone.

With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, otherwise you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<b><strong>Monday late</strong> morning</b>, we are in a state of “flow” and emotional connection to others; spiritual and creative endeavors are favored. <span style=\"color: #800000;\">(<i>Moon in </i><b><i>Cancer </i></b><i>trines Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> <em>at 10:19am EST.</em> -- post at 8:30am EST)</i></span><i></i>\r\n\r\n<b><strong>Monday early afternoon </strong></b><span style=\"color: #333333;\">requires some inner adjustments.

This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the Lunar Eclipse</i> -- a very powerful Full Moon (exact on Wednesday morning).\r\n\r\nWe all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-) So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can.\r\n\r\nFun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (January 31st): </strong><i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><strong>all day </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday morning, at 8:27am EST: </b><i>the Moon opposes the Sun</i> <i>in 11.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo</i></b> -- <em>a very powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse</em> becomes exact. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered <em>Leo</em> Tuesday at 1:53pm EST. </strong>\r\n\r\nOnce every six months, the Sun, Moon, and Earth finally align precisely enough for a Solar or Lunar Eclipse to occur; Eclipses are always powerfully connected to the Moon Nodes and thus to our Soul\'s Journey. <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/Lunar+Eclipse.aspx\">If you’d like to learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video</a>.\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon is <i>the first of two Eclipses within the next four weeks and it\'s extra-powerful -- firstly</i><i>, because it\'s</i> a <i>SuperMoon -- </i>these occur when the Moon is either Full or New, while at its closest distance to the Earth; they are therefore more powerful. This often means an increase in emotional reactions, plus greater awareness around the issues connected to the particular Full Moon energy in question.\r\n\r\nSecondly, as the second Full Moon of this calendar month, it is also a \"<i>Blue Moon\" -- so </i>I think we can go ahead and call it a SuperBlue Moon :-)\r\n\r\nGiven that our SuperBlue Full Moon is happening in the <b>Leo</b>/<b>Aquarius</b> polarity, there\'s extra emphasis on increasing awareness of our mind\'s activities, and on opening our heart chakras. As we do this, we can open more to joy, and be more playful.\r\n\r\nLunar Eclipses generally direct our attention to our \"emotional body” and our relationships; they also connect us more fully to our Soul’s journey (as shown by the Moon Nodes). This particular Eclipse focuses on the relationship between the individual (<b>Leo</b>) and the collective (<b>Aquarius</b>).\r\n\r\nWe become aware of what has been suppressed or ignored -- or, this being a North Node Eclipse, what needs to be embraced, integrated and explored -- in regards to the <b>Leo</b> energy.\r\n\r\nIt\'s been 19 years since we experienced a Lunar Eclipse in this degree... Think back to Jan. 31st, 1999: What did I need to open my heart to back then? What became more clear at that time, in regards to exploring joy? Was I able to get in touch with my inner child?\r\n\r\nThis is the third Lunar Eclipse in a 23-month cycle of Eclipses, all connected to the <b>Leo/Aquarius</b> polarity; the cycle in question began in February 2017 with a Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b> and will last until Jan. 2019, ending with yet another Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b>.\r\n\r\nThink back to February of last year: What started shifting for me, in my attitudes towards the collective (or \"humanity\")? How about like-minded people? Was there likewise a shift in my desire for more joy? Self-expression? Heartfelt actions? If I think back to the last Solar Eclipse in Leo from August 21st, 2017, what has brought the possibility for more joy into my life?\r\n\r\nLife-changing revelations are more likely over the next two weeks — and with them, shifts in our consciousness — and the impact of an Eclipse\'s energy also lasts longer than a regular Lunation (anywhere from 6 months to 2 years!)\r\n\r\nI will talk about the upcoming Eclipses in more detail in my next Forecasting Forum — if you want to know how the Eclipses are going to impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up, to our own birth charts. The Forum will be live on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time); for more info or to register, <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">click here</a>: <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ</a>\r\n\r\nThis particular Eclipse focuses on authentic self-expression and creativity. Ask yourself: What might open up if I expressed myself with my heart as my center? With more courage? If I were too much in my head, what would tip me off to that? What might my world look like, if I allowed my light to shine just a little brighter?\r\n\r\nWe are also invited to allow head and heart to merge, bringing about a brighter future for humankind -- what would it look like if I allowed that merger? What if I chose, right here and now, to contribute to humanity from a courageous, heart-centered and authentic place? What if I simply chose that, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>Leo</b> represents our individual expression, the kind of light we came to shine, joy we came to spread. <b>Leo</b> is the sign of individual creativity; <b>Aquarius</b> represents the power of collaboration, where the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts. <b>Aquarius</b>, connects us to the complex patterns formed by many coming together<i>.</i>\r\n\r\nThis means it\'s important to be especially aware and responsible when connecting with others. As best as you can, get present and ask yourself: What am I bringing forth? What are my intentions? What is in my heart that longs to be expressed? Do I have the courage to stand in my authentic self-expression?\r\n\r\nIf we want to see a greater shift in the world at large (an Aquarian concern), we must each do our own part and express our unique gifts (Leo’s imperative). That said, if we don\'t come from the heart --<span style=\"color: #333333;\"> or if we get stuck over-thinking things and/or being overly concerned with what other people are thinking -- we will not be able to fulfill on that vision.</span>\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> makes a Quincunx to Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>. </i>This might bring some internal discomfort; we need to make inner adjustments here. It nudges us to tune into our intuition, and create from a place of love rather than fear.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What if it were possible to get really in tune with my intuitive feeling body <i>and</i> express myself fully, with courage and without compromise? Might an introverted approach like that serve my extroverted, unique expression of Self? How can I transform lower vibrational feelings? For example, how might I transform fear into love? What approach might support such a transformation?\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun (ruler of Leo) in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> conjoins the South Node and Venus in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>. </i>This reminds us that each one of us has an electromagnetic field, and are an integral part of a much larger field, where our thoughts, growth, and actions interweave and affect the course of humanity. Together, we are exponentially more powerful.\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) is currently in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>. It\'s making a Square to Pluto and Mercury in </i><b><i>Capricorn.</i></b><i> </i>We are invited to be more honest with ourselves and others (especially about our fears and desires), and to pay attention to our thinking patterns, especially in regards to achieving things out there in the world.\r\n\r\nIn fact, you could say we are being invited to bring an innovative approach to who we are \"out there in the world\" -- and to our interactions with others… In other words: To step it up -- and walk our unique path. To inspire others. Life is too short to waste on things we are less than fully passionate about, that don\'t fully express our uniqueness.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What is being radically transformed in my life? Where am I being invited to confront outdated thought-forms? What\'s the relationship between my inner teenager and my inner adult?\r\n\r\nPluto represents the courage it takes to face our shadows and fears -- and if we can do that, we can discover our true motivations, desires -- and our true power. What do I get obsessed about? What scares me the most, when it comes to fully committing to things I feel passionate about?\r\n\r\nTake a look back at situations that felt disempowering -- and at situations that evoked some sort of helpless fury. When in the past have I given my power away to others, especially authority figures? Was it really about me? What did I choose in that moment?\r\n\r\n<i>Saturn (the traditional ruler of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>) currently in its own sign. </i>Here is a quote that fits really beautifully with this energy: <i>\"The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift of life is yours—it’s an amazing journey, and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. Your journey is determined by the choices you make. Your answers are determined by the questions you ask. Your destination is determined by the steps you take. Your future is determined by what you do today.\"</i> -- Dan Zadra\r\n\r\nWe are also encouraged during this Full Moon to acknowledge that we are all in this together, and that each one of us has the ability to effect change by tapping into our courage, and living our vision in every moment -- and this takes dropping into our hearts more fully.\r\n\r\nFor this <i>Full SuperBlue Moon/Lunar Eclipse</i> you could ask yourself these questions too: How might I learn about self-love? What if I chose to love the world as if it was a reflection of my heart and soul? What if I did that while expressing my unique soul-self, my unique spirit? Where do the inner and the outer experiences of love and connectedness meet?\r\n\r\nFlexibility, thinking outside the box, and self-care are critical during Eclipse season! Self-care is particularly important in times of stress and/or change — basic things, like making sure that we eat healthily and regularly, drink plenty of water, exercise, get plentiful rest -- and allow affection in from friends, family, or pets. Connecting to what feels supportive in order to stay grounded and regenerate ourselves can be very helpful as well.\r\n\r\nThere are so many more aspects we could talk about with this Lunar Eclipse chart, I\'d need an hour-and-a-half to cover it all — and that\'s just what I\'ll be doing during the 90-minute Monthly Forecasting Forum on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time)<b> </b><a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">click here to register</a>: <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ</a>) :-)\r\n\r\nThis <i>Lunar Eclipse</i> shows us that there is always work to be done -- and there\'s no need to get overwhelmed by that, because we all have the power to do it. All we have to do is look into our own heart and see the strength and love lying there. Ask yourself: Where could I be the voice? Where could I be or become the visionary? What if I accepted that I am the hero/heroine of my story? What is my role at this pivotal time?\r\n\r\nRemember: No effort is too small, no step too modest... And most important of all, perhaps: it\'s never too late to be the one who makes a difference -- especially when it comes from the heart and feels authentic!\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, trust that you have what it takes to make a difference for yourself and others. <i>And </i><a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/Lunar+Eclipse.aspx\">if you’d like to learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video</a>.\r\n\r\nA final note about Eclipses: they\'re consciousness upgrades, so for 7 - 10 days before and after one, we are usually in uncharted territory -- anything is possible and it\'s wise to expect the unexpected. Anything <i>brand-new</i> started during this time will likely not pan out the way we thought it would, often because important information comes to light only after Eclipse season is over.\r\n\r\nFor that reason, try to defer any major brand-new projects until after Feb. 25th, when this particular Eclipse season ends. That said, if something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic, allow it to “be”... Just be wary of the urge to push something forward merely to relieve anxiety or impatience.\r\n\r\nAllow for the upgrade to download, staying centered and doing your best to \"ground\" from within -- try using conscious breathing, and regard flexibility as a tool. Best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body…\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point or personal planets in 6-17 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo, Aquarius, Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>?

As we do this, we can open more to joy, and be more playful.\r\n\r\nLunar Eclipses generally direct our attention to our \"emotional body” and our relationships; they also connect us more fully to our Soul’s journey (as shown by the Moon Nodes). This particular Eclipse focuses on the relationship between the individual (<b>Leo</b>) and the collective (<b>Aquarius</b>).\r\n\r\nWe become aware of what has been suppressed or ignored -- or, this being a North Node Eclipse, what needs to be embraced, integrated and explored -- in regards to the <b>Leo</b> energy.\r\n\r\nIt\'s been 19 years since we experienced a Lunar Eclipse in this degree... Think back to Jan. 31st, 1999: What did I need to open my heart to back then? What became more clear at that time, in regards to exploring joy? Was I able to get in touch with my inner child?\r\n\r\nThis is the third Lunar Eclipse in a 23-month cycle of Eclipses, all connected to the <b>Leo/Aquarius</b> polarity; the cycle in question began in February 2017 with a Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b> and will last until Jan. 2019, ending with yet another Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b>.\r\n\r\nThink back to February of last year: What started shifting for me, in my attitudes towards the collective (or \"humanity\")? How about like-minded people? Was there likewise a shift in my desire for more joy? Self-expression? Heartfelt actions? If I think back to the last Solar Eclipse in Leo from August 21st, 2017, what has brought the possibility for more joy into my life?\r\n\r\nLife-changing revelations are more likely over the next two weeks — and with them, shifts in our consciousness — and the impact of an Eclipse\'s energy also lasts longer than a regular Lunation (anywhere from 6 months to 2 years!)\r\n\r\nI will talk about the upcoming Eclipses in more detail in my next Forecasting Forum — if you want to know how the Eclipses are going to impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up, to our own birth charts. The Forum will be live on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time); for more info or to register, <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">click here</a>: <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ</a>\r\n\r\nThis particular Eclipse focuses on authentic self-expression and creativity. Ask yourself: What might open up if I expressed myself with my heart as my center? With more courage? If I were too much in my head, what would tip me off to that? What might my world look like, if I allowed my light to shine just a little brighter?\r\n\r\nWe are also invited to allow head and heart to merge, bringing about a brighter future for humankind -- what would it look like if I allowed that merger? What if I chose, right here and now, to contribute to humanity from a courageous, heart-centered and authentic place? What if I simply chose that, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>Leo</b> represents our individual expression, the kind of light we came to shine, joy we came to spread. <b>Leo</b> is the sign of individual creativity; <b>Aquarius</b> represents the power of collaboration, where the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts. <b>Aquarius</b>, connects us to the complex patterns formed by many coming together<i>.</i>\r\n\r\nThis means it\'s important to be especially aware and responsible when connecting with others. As best as you can, get present and ask yourself: What am I bringing forth? What are my intentions? What is in my heart that longs to be expressed? Do I have the courage to stand in my authentic self-expression?\r\n\r\nIf we want to see a greater shift in the world at large (an Aquarian concern), we must each do our own part and express our unique gifts (Leo’s imperative). That said, if we don\'t come from the heart --<span style=\"color: #333333;\"> or if we get stuck over-thinking things and/or being overly concerned with what other people are thinking -- we will not be able to fulfill on that vision.</span>\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> makes a Quincunx to Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>. </i>This might bring some internal discomfort; we need to make inner adjustments here. It nudges us to tune into our intuition, and create from a place of love rather than fear.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What if it were possible to get really in tune with my intuitive feeling body <i>and</i> express myself fully, with courage and without compromise? Might an introverted approach like that serve my extroverted, unique expression of Self? How can I transform lower vibrational feelings? For example, how might I transform fear into love? What approach might support such a transformation?\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun (ruler of Leo) in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> conjoins the South Node and Venus in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>. </i>This reminds us that each one of us has an electromagnetic field, and are an integral part of a much larger field, where our thoughts, growth, and actions interweave and affect the course of humanity. Together, we are exponentially more powerful.\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) is currently in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>. It\'s making a Square to Pluto and Mercury in </i><b><i>Capricorn.</i></b><i> </i>We are invited to be more honest with ourselves and others (especially about our fears and desires), and to pay attention to our thinking patterns, especially in regards to achieving things out there in the world.\r\n\r\nIn fact, you could say we are being invited to bring an innovative approach to who we are \"out there in the world\" -- and to our interactions with others… In other words: To step it up -- and walk our unique path. To inspire others. Life is too short to waste on things we are less than fully passionate about, that don\'t fully express our uniqueness.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What is being radically transformed in my life? Where am I being invited to confront outdated thought-forms? What\'s the relationship between my inner teenager and my inner adult?\r\n\r\nPluto represents the courage it takes to face our shadows and fears -- and if we can do that, we can discover our true motivations, desires -- and our true power. What do I get obsessed about? What scares me the most, when it comes to fully committing to things I feel passionate about?\r\n\r\nTake a look back at situations that felt disempowering -- and at situations that evoked some sort of helpless fury. When in the past have I given my power away to others, especially authority figures? Was it really about me? What did I choose in that moment?\r\n\r\n<i>Saturn (the traditional ruler of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>) currently in its own sign. </i>Here is a quote that fits really beautifully with this energy: <i>\"The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift of life is yours—it’s an amazing journey, and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. Your journey is determined by the choices you make. Your answers are determined by the questions you ask. Your destination is determined by the steps you take. Your future is determined by what you do today.\"</i> -- Dan Zadra\r\n\r\nWe are also encouraged during this Full Moon to acknowledge that we are all in this together, and that each one of us has the ability to effect change by tapping into our courage, and living our vision in every moment -- and this takes dropping into our hearts more fully.\r\n\r\nFor this <i>Full SuperBlue Moon/Lunar Eclipse</i> you could ask yourself these questions too: How might I learn about self-love? What if I chose to love the world as if it was a reflection of my heart and soul? What if I did that while expressing my unique soul-self, my unique spirit? Where do the inner and the outer experiences of love and connectedness meet?\r\n\r\nFlexibility, thinking outside the box, and self-care are critical during Eclipse season! Self-care is particularly important in times of stress and/or change — basic things, like making sure that we eat healthily and regularly, drink plenty of water, exercise, get plentiful rest -- and allow affection in from friends, family, or pets. Connecting to what feels supportive in order to stay grounded and regenerate ourselves can be very helpful as well.\r\n\r\nThere are so many more aspects we could talk about with this Lunar Eclipse chart, I\'d need an hour-and-a-half to cover it all — and that\'s just what I\'ll be doing during the 90-minute Monthly Forecasting Forum on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time)<b> </b><a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">click here to register</a>: <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ</a>) :-)\r\n\r\nThis <i>Lunar Eclipse</i> shows us that there is always work to be done -- and there\'s no need to get overwhelmed by that, because we all have the power to do it. All we have to do is look into our own heart and see the strength and love lying there. Ask yourself: Where could I be the voice? Where could I be or become the visionary? What if I accepted that I am the hero/heroine of my story? What is my role at this pivotal time?\r\n\r\nRemember: No effort is too small, no step too modest... And most important of all, perhaps: it\'s never too late to be the one who makes a difference -- especially when it comes from the heart and feels authentic!\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, trust that you have what it takes to make a difference for yourself and others. <i>And </i><a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/Lunar+Eclipse.aspx\">if you’d like to learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video</a>.\r\n\r\nA final note about Eclipses: they\'re consciousness upgrades, so for 7 - 10 days before and after one, we are usually in uncharted territory -- anything is possible and it\'s wise to expect the unexpected. Anything <i>brand-new</i> started during this time will likely not pan out the way we thought it would, often because important information comes to light only after Eclipse season is over.\r\n\r\nFor that reason, try to defer any major brand-new projects until after Feb. 25th, when this particular Eclipse season ends. That said, if something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic, allow it to “be”... Just be wary of the urge to push something forward merely to relieve anxiety or impatience.\r\n\r\nAllow for the upgrade to download, staying centered and doing your best to \"ground\" from within -- try using conscious breathing, and regard flexibility as a tool. Best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body…\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point or personal planets in 6-17 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo, Aquarius, Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>?

We enjoy intellectual debates. We are quicker and more alert; our powers of observation are particularly strong.\r\n\r\nWe have something interesting to say, and our perspective on issues can be delightfully unusual and surprisingly insightful. This makes for some great conversations. We are more attracted to scientific and/or metaphysical pursuits right now. Anything that promises progress and advancement for mankind has special appeal.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

Body and mind can align; words and deeds connect with ease. As with any opportunity, we have to \"take\" this one: it will not happen by itself.\r\n\r\nWhat actions are calling to you today?

Make sure though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, otherwise you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<b><strong>Monday late</strong> morning</b>, we are in a state of “flow” and emotional connection to others; spiritual and creative endeavors are favored. <i></i>\r\n\r\n<b><strong>Monday early afternoon </strong></b>requires some inner adjustments.

As best you can, remain flexible and practice self-care — take good care of your emotional and physical body -- that way, you\'ll remain able to empower yourself and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (January 30th): </strong><em>the Moon remains in <i>protective, nurturing </i><strong>Cancer</strong></em><strong><em> </em>until 1:53pm EST (</strong>see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 11:40am EST, </strong>we enter a <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 2 hours, <strong>until 1:53pm EST.</strong> </span>Use this intuitive time to find balance between nurturing and self-care, versus achieving your goals.

You may also want to plan late morning and early afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 1:53pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Thursday afternoon</strong><b>. </b>We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the Lunar Eclipse</i> -- a very powerful Full Moon (exact on Wednesday morning).\r\n\r\nWe all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-) So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can.\r\n\r\nFun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (January 31st): </strong><i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><strong>all day </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday morning, at 8:27am EST: </b><i>the Moon opposes the Sun</i> <i>in 11.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo</i></b> -- <em>a very powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse</em> becomes exact. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered <em>Leo</em> Tuesday at 1:53pm EST. </strong>\r\n\r\nOnce every six months, the Sun, Moon, and Earth finally align precisely enough for a Solar or Lunar Eclipse to occur; Eclipses are always powerfully connected to the Moon Nodes and thus to our Soul\'s Journey. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/powerful-full-supermoon-lunar-eclipse-in-leo-jan-feb-2018/\">If you’d like to learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video</a>.\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon is <i>the first of two Eclipses within the next four weeks and it\'s extra-powerful -- firstly</i><i>, because it\'s</i> a <i>SuperMoon -- </i>these occur when the Moon is either Full or New, while at its closest distance to the Earth; they are therefore more powerful. This often means an increase in emotional reactions, plus greater awareness around the issues connected to the particular Full Moon energy in question.\r\n\r\nSecondly, as the second Full Moon of this calendar month, it is also a \"<i>Blue Moon\" -- so </i>I think we can go ahead and call it a SuperBlue Moon :-)\r\n\r\nGiven that our SuperBlue Full Moon is happening in the <b>Leo</b>/<b>Aquarius</b> polarity, there\'s extra emphasis on increasing awareness of our mind\'s activities, and on opening our heart chakras. As we do this, we can open more to joy, and be more playful.\r\n\r\nLunar Eclipses generally direct our attention to our \"emotional body” and our relationships; they also connect us more fully to our Soul’s journey (as shown by the Moon Nodes). This particular Eclipse focuses on the relationship between the individual (<b>Leo</b>) and the collective (<b>Aquarius</b>).\r\n\r\nWe become aware of what has been suppressed or ignored -- or, this being a North Node Eclipse, what needs to be embraced, integrated and explored -- in regards to the <b>Leo</b> energy.\r\n\r\nIt\'s been 19 years since we experienced a Lunar Eclipse in this degree... Think back to Jan. 31st, 1999: What did I need to open my heart to back then? What became more clear at that time, in regards to exploring joy? Was I able to get in touch with my inner child?\r\n\r\nThis is the third Lunar Eclipse in a 23-month cycle of Eclipses, all connected to the <b>Leo/Aquarius</b> polarity; the cycle in question began in February 2017 with a Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b> and will last until Jan. 2019, ending with yet another Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b>.\r\n\r\nThink back to February of last year: What started shifting for me, in my attitudes towards the collective (or \"humanity\")? How about like-minded people? Was there likewise a shift in my desire for more joy? Self-expression? Heartfelt actions? If I think back to the last Solar Eclipse in Leo from August 21st, 2017, what has brought the possibility for more joy into my life?\r\n\r\nLife-changing revelations are more likely over the next two weeks — and with them, shifts in our consciousness — and the impact of an Eclipse\'s energy also lasts longer than a regular Lunation (anywhere from 6 months to 2 years!)\r\n\r\nI will talk about the upcoming Eclipses in more detail in my next Forecasting Forum — if you want to know how the Eclipses are going to impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up, to our own birth charts. The Forum will be live on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time); <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">for more info or to register, click here</a>\r\n\r\nThis particular Eclipse focuses on authentic self-expression and creativity. Ask yourself: What might open up if I expressed myself with my heart as my center? With more courage? If I were too much in my head, what would tip me off to that? What might my world look like, if I allowed my light to shine just a little brighter?\r\n\r\nWe are also invited to allow head and heart to merge, bringing about a brighter future for humankind -- what would it look like if I allowed that merger? What if I chose, right here and now, to contribute to humanity from a courageous, heart-centered and authentic place? What if I simply chose that, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>Leo</b> represents our individual expression, the kind of light we came to shine, joy we came to spread. <b>Leo</b> is the sign of individual creativity; <b>Aquarius</b> represents the power of collaboration, where the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts. <b>Aquarius</b>, connects us to the complex patterns formed by many coming together<i>.</i>\r\n\r\nThis means it\'s important to be especially aware and responsible when connecting with others. As best as you can, get present and ask yourself: What am I bringing forth? What are my intentions? What is in my heart that longs to be expressed? Do I have the courage to stand in my authentic self-expression?\r\n\r\nIf we want to see a greater shift in the world at large (an Aquarian concern), we must each do our own part and express our unique gifts (Leo’s imperative). That said, if we don\'t come from the heart -- or if we get stuck over-thinking things and/or being overly concerned with what other people are thinking -- we will not be able to fulfill on that vision.\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> makes a Quincunx to Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>. </i>This might bring some internal discomfort; we need to make inner adjustments here. It nudges us to tune into our intuition, and create from a place of love rather than fear.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What if it were possible to get really in tune with my intuitive feeling body <i>and</i> express myself fully, with courage and without compromise? Might an introverted approach like that serve my extroverted, unique expression of Self? How can I transform lower vibrational feelings? For example, how might I transform fear into love? What approach might support such a transformation?\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun (ruler of Leo) in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> conjoins the South Node and Venus in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>. </i>This reminds us that each one of us has an electromagnetic field, and are an integral part of a much larger field, where our thoughts, growth, and actions interweave and affect the course of humanity. Together, we are exponentially more powerful.\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) is currently in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>. It\'s making a Square to Pluto and Mercury in </i><b><i>Capricorn.</i></b><i> </i>We are invited to be more honest with ourselves and others (especially about our fears and desires), and to pay attention to our thinking patterns, especially in regards to achieving things out there in the world.\r\n\r\nIn fact, you could say we are being invited to bring an innovative approach to who we are \"out there in the world\" -- and to our interactions with others… In other words: To step it up -- and walk our unique path. To inspire others. Life is too short to waste on things we are less than fully passionate about, that don\'t fully express our uniqueness.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What is being radically transformed in my life? Where am I being invited to confront outdated thought-forms? What\'s the relationship between my inner teenager and my inner adult?\r\n\r\nPluto represents the courage it takes to face our shadows and fears -- and if we can do that, we can discover our true motivations, desires -- and our true power. What do I get obsessed about? What scares me the most, when it comes to fully committing to things I feel passionate about?\r\n\r\nTake a look back at situations that felt disempowering -- and at situations that evoked some sort of helpless fury. When in the past have I given my power away to others, especially authority figures? Was it really about me? What did I choose in that moment?\r\n\r\n<i>Saturn (the traditional ruler of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>) currently in its own sign. </i>Here is a quote that fits really beautifully with this energy: <i>\"The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift of life is yours—it’s an amazing journey, and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. Your journey is determined by the choices you make. Your answers are determined by the questions you ask. Your destination is determined by the steps you take. Your future is determined by what you do today.\"</i> -- Dan Zadra\r\n\r\nWe are also encouraged during this Full Moon to acknowledge that we are all in this together, and that each one of us has the ability to effect change by tapping into our courage, and living our vision in every moment -- and this takes dropping into our hearts more fully.\r\n\r\nFor this <i>Full SuperBlue Moon/Lunar Eclipse</i> you could ask yourself these questions too: How might I learn about self-love? What if I chose to love the world as if it was a reflection of my heart and soul? What if I did that while expressing my unique soul-self, my unique spirit? Where do the inner and the outer experiences of love and connectedness meet?\r\n\r\nFlexibility, thinking outside the box, and self-care are critical during Eclipse season! Self-care is particularly important in times of stress and/or change — basic things, like making sure that we eat healthily and regularly, drink plenty of water, exercise, get plentiful rest -- and allow affection in from friends, family, or pets. Connecting to what feels supportive in order to stay grounded and regenerate ourselves can be very helpful as well.\r\n\r\nThere are so many more aspects we could talk about with this Lunar Eclipse chart, I\'d need an hour-and-a-half to cover it all — and that\'s just what I\'ll be doing during the 90-minute Monthly Forecasting Forum on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time)<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">click here to register</a> :-)\r\n\r\nThis <i>Lunar Eclipse</i> shows us that there is always work to be done -- and there\'s no need to get overwhelmed by that, because we all have the power to do it. All we have to do is look into our own heart and see the strength and love lying there. Ask yourself: Where could I be the voice? Where could I be or become the visionary? What if I accepted that I am the hero/heroine of my story? What is my role at this pivotal time?\r\n\r\nRemember: No effort is too small, no step too modest... And most important of all, perhaps: it\'s never too late to be the one who makes a difference -- especially when it comes from the heart and feels authentic!\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, trust that you have what it takes to make a difference for yourself and others. <i>And </i><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/powerful-full-supermoon-lunar-eclipse-in-leo-jan-feb-2018/\">if you’d like to learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video</a>.\r\n\r\nA final note about Eclipses: they\'re consciousness upgrades, so for 7 - 10 days before and after one, we are usually in uncharted territory -- anything is possible and it\'s wise to expect the unexpected. Anything <i>brand-new</i> started during this time will likely not pan out the way we thought it would, often because important information comes to light only after Eclipse season is over.\r\n\r\nFor that reason, try to defer any major brand-new projects until after Feb. 25th, when this particular Eclipse season ends. That said, if something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic, allow it to “be”... Just be wary of the urge to push something forward merely to relieve anxiety or impatience.\r\n\r\nAllow for the upgrade to download, staying centered and doing your best to \"ground\" from within -- try using conscious breathing, and regard flexibility as a tool. Best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body…\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point or personal planets in 6-17 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo, Aquarius, Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s Full Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 8:39am EST,</strong><strong> </strong><i>Mercury </i><i>leaves practical, cautious, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><i>and moves into</i> <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking, objective </i><b><i>Aquarius.</i></b><b><i> </i></b>It will journey there <b>until February 17th.<i> </i></b>For the next three weeks, we tend to contradict others more quickly, and offer a different perspective. We enjoy intellectual debates. We are quicker and more alert; our powers of observation are particularly strong.\r\n\r\nWe have something interesting to say, and our perspective on issues can be delightfully unusual and surprisingly insightful. This makes for some great conversations. We are more attracted to scientific and/or metaphysical pursuits right now. Anything that promises progress and advancement for mankind has special appeal.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel a greater need for focusing on your future and any humanitarian causes. Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will most likely feel more chatty for the next 3 weeks. </i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (February 1st): </strong><i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving</i><strong><em> Leo</em></strong><em> </em><strong>until 2:13pm EST </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 5:59am EST, </strong>we enter a <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 8 hours, <strong>until 2:13pm EST. </strong></span>During this intuitive time, have fun connecting with others and doing things that bring you joy — explore something different, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday morning until early afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 2:13pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into detail-oriented, practical</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <strong>until Saturday late afternoon</strong>; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<b> </b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (Feb. 2nd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong><i> </i><b>all day</b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Thursday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning, </strong>we<strong> </strong>seek a balance between head and heart, facts and faith, reason and intuition. That said, if you can achieve that balance, it’s a great day for being of service.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday early afternoon</strong> calls for some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice. Making this choice demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to engage in humanitarian causes — and on the other hand, the need to  tend to our daily routines.\r\n\r\n<b>Friday late evening</b>, we can potentially accomplish quite a bit: The Moon in <b>Virgo</b> makes a harmonious aspect to Pluto in <b>Capricorn</b>. Virgo and Capricorn are Earth signs, so getting down to business and focusing on the task at hand takes less effort than normal. We are able to tackle anything that requires attention to detail and maybe even implement health routines or other systems that support our long-term goals.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (February 3rd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><em> </em><strong>until 4:47pm EST </strong>(see Thursday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 2:07am EST, </strong>we enter a <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 14.5 hours, <strong>until 4:47pm EST. </strong></span>Use this intuitive time to get organized, improve daily routines, and to develop more awareness of how that all fits in with expanding intimate connections with others.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday very early morning until the late afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday late morning, </strong><em>an opportune Mercury/Mars aspect </em>becomes exact at 10:57am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Friday morning on; it will remain strong until Sunday evening. </strong>This aspect provides an opportunity to connect thought to action. Body and mind can align; words and deeds connect with ease. As with any opportunity, we have to \"take\" this one: it will not happen by itself.\r\n\r\nWhat actions are calling to you today? How might those actions be connected to other like-minded people... or a vision you have for humanity\'s future?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <em>3-7 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 4:47pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>, where it will journey<b> <strong>until Monday late afternoon.</strong> </b>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (February 4th): </strong><em>t</em><em>he Moon remains in </em><em><i>relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking</i></em><strong><em><i> </i>Libra</em></strong><em> </em><strong>all day </strong>(see Saturday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning, </strong><em>a challenging Venus/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 1:07am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Thursday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (Feb 6th). </strong>This aspect asks that we question our most fundamental beliefs and conditioning around the visions we value (and the people that share those visions) and how we view our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\nWe have the opportunity here to grow beyond our understanding of what our values get us. Issues connected to love, relationships, and whatever is most valuable to us, can seem overwhelming at this time. This is because we have a tendency to overindulge or over-promise.\r\n\r\nWe mean well, because we are feeling quite optimistic at this time -- but we may underestimate how much time we actually have, or how good a fit something actually is. Overspending could be connected to this aspect as well (as could making assumptions in our relationships); as best as you can, bring a non-judgmental awareness to any such tendencies.\r\n\r\nWhat are you observing about yourself and your relationships with others? What is enough... and what is too much?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>18-25 degrees</em></i><i> of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (Feb. 5th): </strong><em>t</em><em>h</em><em>e </em><em>Moon remains in </em><em><i>relationship-oriented</i></em><strong><em><i>, </i></em></strong><em><i>harmony-seeking</i></em><em> <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong><em> </em>until 10:56pm EST (see Saturday late afternoon for details). At 1:46pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 9 hours, <strong>until 10:56pm EST</strong>.  You may want to plan Monday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>At</strong> <strong>10:56pm EST</strong>, the Moon moves into <strong>Scorpio</strong>, where it will journey <strong>until next week Thursday morning </strong>(Feb. 8th). This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the last Quarter Moon (which, will be exact next week Wednesday -- Feb. 7th). More about all the details in next week’s forecast ;-)<b> </b>\r\n<h3><b>One Last Announcement:</b></h3>\r\nJoin me for my next FORECASTING FORUM, <b>Saturday</b>, <b>Feb</b>.<b> 3rd, 2018 at </b>11am<b> </b>PST/<b> 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time).<b> Please note </b>that we will be talking about the upcoming<b> Eclipses: Lunar Eclipse/SuperMoon in Leo </b>and<b> Solar Eclipse in Aquarius.</b>\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how to align yourself with these potent energies coming our way, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\"><b>To register now, click here</b></a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Here is a testimonial from one of our participants right after joining our most recent Forum:</strong>\r\n<blockquote><i>\"Sonja\'s Forecasting Forums make Astrology accessible for anyone.

Pluto is associated with our soul purpose, as well as the process of empowerment -- our ability to feel empowered from within -- and with our deepest passions.

This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the Lunar Eclipse</i> -- a very powerful Full Moon (exact on Wednesday morning).\r\n\r\nWe all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-) So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can.\r\n\r\nFun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (January 31st): </strong><i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><strong>all day </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday morning, at 8:27am EST: </b><i>the Moon opposes the Sun</i> <i>in 11.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo</i></b> -- <em>a very powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse</em> becomes exact. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered <em>Leo</em> Tuesday at 1:53pm EST. </strong>\r\n\r\nOnce every six months, the Sun, Moon, and Earth finally align precisely enough for a Solar or Lunar Eclipse to occur; Eclipses are always powerfully connected to the Moon Nodes and thus to our Soul\'s Journey. <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/Lunar+Eclipse.aspx\">If you’d like to learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video</a>.\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon is <i>the first of two Eclipses within the next four weeks and it\'s extra-powerful -- firstly</i><i>, because it\'s</i> a <i>SuperMoon -- </i>these occur when the Moon is either Full or New, while at its closest distance to the Earth; they are therefore more powerful. This often means an increase in emotional reactions, plus greater awareness around the issues connected to the particular Full Moon energy in question.\r\n\r\nSecondly, as the second Full Moon of this calendar month, it is also a \"<i>Blue Moon\" -- so </i>I think we can go ahead and call it a SuperBlue Moon :-)\r\n\r\nGiven that our SuperBlue Full Moon is happening in the <b>Leo</b>/<b>Aquarius</b> polarity, there\'s extra emphasis on increasing awareness of our mind\'s activities, and on opening our heart chakras. As we do this, we can open more to joy, and be more playful.\r\n\r\nLunar Eclipses generally direct our attention to our \"emotional body” and our relationships; they also connect us more fully to our Soul’s journey (as shown by the Moon Nodes). This particular Eclipse focuses on the relationship between the individual (<b>Leo</b>) and the collective (<b>Aquarius</b>).\r\n\r\nWe become aware of what has been suppressed or ignored -- or, this being a North Node Eclipse, what needs to be embraced, integrated and explored -- in regards to the <b>Leo</b> energy.\r\n\r\nIt\'s been 19 years since we experienced a Lunar Eclipse in this degree... Think back to Jan. 31st, 1999: What did I need to open my heart to back then? What became more clear at that time, in regards to exploring joy? Was I able to get in touch with my inner child?\r\n\r\nThis is the third Lunar Eclipse in a 23-month cycle of Eclipses, all connected to the <b>Leo/Aquarius</b> polarity; the cycle in question began in February 2017 with a Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b> and will last until Jan. 2019, ending with yet another Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b>.\r\n\r\nThink back to February of last year: What started shifting for me, in my attitudes towards the collective (or \"humanity\")? How about like-minded people? Was there likewise a shift in my desire for more joy? Self-expression? Heartfelt actions? If I think back to the last Solar Eclipse in Leo from August 21st, 2017, what has brought the possibility for more joy into my life?\r\n\r\nLife-changing revelations are more likely over the next two weeks — and with them, shifts in our consciousness — and the impact of an Eclipse\'s energy also lasts longer than a regular Lunation (anywhere from 6 months to 2 years!)\r\n\r\nI will talk about the upcoming Eclipses in more detail in my next Forecasting Forum — if you want to know how the Eclipses are going to impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up, to our own birth charts. The Forum will be live on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time); for more info or to register, <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">click here</a>: <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ</a>\r\n\r\nThis particular Eclipse focuses on authentic self-expression and creativity. Ask yourself: What might open up if I expressed myself with my heart as my center? With more courage? If I were too much in my head, what would tip me off to that? What might my world look like, if I allowed my light to shine just a little brighter?\r\n\r\nWe are also invited to allow head and heart to merge, bringing about a brighter future for humankind -- what would it look like if I allowed that merger? What if I chose, right here and now, to contribute to humanity from a courageous, heart-centered and authentic place? What if I simply chose that, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>Leo</b> represents our individual expression, the kind of light we came to shine, joy we came to spread. <b>Leo</b> is the sign of individual creativity; <b>Aquarius</b> represents the power of collaboration, where the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts. <b>Aquarius</b>, connects us to the complex patterns formed by many coming together<i>.</i>\r\n\r\nThis means it\'s important to be especially aware and responsible when connecting with others. As best as you can, get present and ask yourself: What am I bringing forth? What are my intentions? What is in my heart that longs to be expressed? Do I have the courage to stand in my authentic self-expression?\r\n\r\nIf we want to see a greater shift in the world at large (an Aquarian concern), we must each do our own part and express our unique gifts (Leo’s imperative). That said, if we don\'t come from the heart --<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> or if we get stuck in over-thinking things and/or being overly concerned with what other people are thinking -- we will not be able to fulfill on that vision.</span>\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> makes a Quincunx to Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>. </i>This might bring some internal discomfort; we need to make inner adjustments here. It nudges us to tune into our intuition, and create from a place of love rather than fear.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What if it were possible to get really in tune with my intuitive feeling body <i>and</i> express myself fully, with courage and without compromise? Might an introverted approach like that serve my extroverted, unique expression of Self? How can I transform lower vibrational feelings? For example, how might I transform fear into love? What approach might support such a transformation?\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun (ruler of Leo) in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> conjoins the South Node and Venus in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>. </i>This reminds us that each one of us has an electromagnetic field, and are an integral part of a much larger field, where our thoughts, growth, and actions interweave and affect the course of humanity. Together, we are exponentially more powerful.\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) is currently in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>. It\'s making a Square to Pluto and Mercury in </i><b><i>Capricorn.</i></b><i> </i>We are invited to be more honest with ourselves and others (especially about our fears and desires), and to pay attention to our thinking patterns, especially in regards to achieving things out there in the world.\r\n\r\nIn fact, you could say we are being invited to bring an innovative approach to who we are \"out there in the world\" -- and to our interactions with others… In other words: To step it up -- and walk our unique path. To inspire others. Life is too short to waste on things we are less than fully passionate about, that don\'t fully express our uniqueness.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What is being radically transformed in my life? Where am I being invited to confront outdated thought-forms? What\'s the relationship between my inner teenager and my inner adult?\r\n\r\nPluto represents the courage it takes to face our shadows and fears -- and if we can do that, we can discover our true motivations, desires -- and our true power. What do I get obsessed about? What scares me the most, when it comes to fully committing to things I feel passionate about?\r\n\r\nTake a look back at situations that felt disempowering -- and at situations that evoked some sort of helpless fury. When in the past have I given my power away to others, especially authority figures? Was it really about me? What did I choose in that moment?\r\n\r\n<i>Saturn (the traditional ruler of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>) currently in its own sign. </i>Here is a quote that fits really beautifully with this energy: <i>\"The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift of life is yours—it’s an amazing journey, and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. Your journey is determined by the choices you make. Your answers are determined by the questions you ask. Your destination is determined by the steps you take. Your future is determined by what you do today.\"</i> -- Dan Zadra\r\n\r\nWe are also encouraged during this Full Moon to acknowledge that we are all in this together, and that each one of us has the ability to effect change by tapping into our courage, and living our vision in every moment -- and this takes dropping into our hearts more fully.\r\n\r\nFor this <i>Full SuperBlue Moon/Lunar Eclipse</i> you could ask yourself these questions too: How might I learn about self-love? What if I chose to love the world as if it was a reflection of my heart and soul? What if I did that while expressing my unique soul-self, my unique spirit? Where do the inner and the outer experiences of love and connectedness meet?\r\n\r\nFlexibility, thinking outside the box, and self-care are critical during Eclipse season! Self-care is particularly important in times of stress and/or change — basic things, like making sure that we eat healthily and regularly, drink plenty of water, exercise, get plentiful rest -- and allow affection in from friends, family, or pets. Connecting to what feels supportive in order to stay grounded and regenerate ourselves can be very helpful as well.\r\n\r\nThere are so many more aspects we could talk about with this Lunar Eclipse chart, I\'d need an hour-and-a-half to cover it all — and that\'s just what I\'ll be doing during the 90-minute Monthly Forecasting Forum on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time)<b> </b><a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">click here to register</a>: <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ</a>) :-)\r\n\r\nThis <i>Lunar Eclipse</i> shows us that there is always work to be done -- and there\'s no need to get overwhelmed by that, because we all have the power to do it. All we have to do is look into our own heart and see the strength and love lying there. Ask yourself: Where could I be the voice? Where could I be or become the visionary? What if I accepted that I am the hero/heroine of my story? What is my role at this pivotal time?\r\n\r\nRemember: No effort is too small, no step too modest... And most important of all, perhaps: it\'s never too late to be the one who makes a difference -- especially when it comes from the heart and feels authentic!\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, trust that you have what it takes to make a difference for yourself and others. <i>And </i><a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/Lunar+Eclipse.aspx\">if you’d like to learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video</a>.\r\n\r\nA final note about Eclipses: they\'re consciousness upgrades, so for 7 - 10 days before and after one, we are usually in uncharted territory -- anything is possible and it\'s wise to expect the unexpected. Anything <i>brand-new</i> started during this time will likely not pan out the way we thought it would, often because important information comes to light only after Eclipse season is over.\r\n\r\nFor that reason, try to defer any major brand-new projects until after Feb. 25th, when this particular Eclipse season ends. That said, if something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic, allow it to “be”... Just be wary of the urge to push something forward merely to relieve anxiety or impatience.\r\n\r\nAllow for the upgrade to download, staying centered and doing your best to \"ground\" from within -- try using conscious breathing, and regard flexibility as a tool. Best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body…\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point or personal planets in 6-17 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo, Aquarius, Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>?

As we do this, we can open more to joy, and be more playful.\r\n\r\nLunar Eclipses generally direct our attention to our \"emotional body” and our relationships; they also connect us more fully to our Soul’s journey (as shown by the Moon Nodes). This particular Eclipse focuses on the relationship between the individual (<b>Leo</b>) and the collective (<b>Aquarius</b>).\r\n\r\nWe become aware of what has been suppressed or ignored -- or, this being a North Node Eclipse, what needs to be embraced, integrated and explored -- in regards to the <b>Leo</b> energy.\r\n\r\nIt\'s been 19 years since we experienced a Lunar Eclipse in this degree... Think back to Jan. 31st, 1999: What did I need to open my heart to back then? What became more clear at that time, in regards to exploring joy? Was I able to get in touch with my inner child?\r\n\r\nThis is the third Lunar Eclipse in a 23-month cycle of Eclipses, all connected to the <b>Leo/Aquarius</b> polarity; the cycle in question began in February 2017 with a Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b> and will last until Jan. 2019, ending with yet another Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b>.\r\n\r\nThink back to February of last year: What started shifting for me, in my attitudes towards the collective (or \"humanity\")? How about like-minded people? Was there likewise a shift in my desire for more joy? Self-expression? Heartfelt actions? If I think back to the last Solar Eclipse in Leo from August 21st, 2017, what has brought the possibility for more joy into my life?\r\n\r\nLife-changing revelations are more likely over the next two weeks — and with them, shifts in our consciousness — and the impact of an Eclipse\'s energy also lasts longer than a regular Lunation (anywhere from 6 months to 2 years!)\r\n\r\nI will talk about the upcoming Eclipses in more detail in my next Forecasting Forum — if you want to know how the Eclipses are going to impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up, to our own birth charts. The Forum will be live on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time); for more info or to register, <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">click here</a>: <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ</a>\r\n\r\nThis particular Eclipse focuses on authentic self-expression and creativity. Ask yourself: What might open up if I expressed myself with my heart as my center? With more courage? If I were too much in my head, what would tip me off to that? What might my world look like, if I allowed my light to shine just a little brighter?\r\n\r\nWe are also invited to allow head and heart to merge, bringing about a brighter future for humankind -- what would it look like if I allowed that merger? What if I chose, right here and now, to contribute to humanity from a courageous, heart-centered and authentic place? What if I simply chose that, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>Leo</b> represents our individual expression, the kind of light we came to shine, joy we came to spread. <b>Leo</b> is the sign of individual creativity; <b>Aquarius</b> represents the power of collaboration, where the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts. <b>Aquarius</b>, connects us to the complex patterns formed by many coming together<i>.</i>\r\n\r\nThis means it\'s important to be especially aware and responsible when connecting with others. As best as you can, get present and ask yourself: What am I bringing forth? What are my intentions? What is in my heart that longs to be expressed? Do I have the courage to stand in my authentic self-expression?\r\n\r\nIf we want to see a greater shift in the world at large (an Aquarian concern), we must each do our own part and express our unique gifts (Leo’s imperative). That said, if we don\'t come from the heart --<span style=\"color: #333333;\"> or if we get stuck over-thinking things and/or being overly concerned with what other people are thinking -- we will not be able to fulfill on that vision.</span>\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> makes a Quincunx to Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>. </i>This might bring some internal discomfort; we need to make inner adjustments here. It nudges us to tune into our intuition, and create from a place of love rather than fear.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What if it were possible to get really in tune with my intuitive feeling body <i>and</i> express myself fully, with courage and without compromise? Might an introverted approach like that serve my extroverted, unique expression of Self? How can I transform lower vibrational feelings? For example, how might I transform fear into love? What approach might support such a transformation?\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun (ruler of Leo) in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> conjoins the South Node and Venus in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>. </i>This reminds us that each one of us has an electromagnetic field, and are an integral part of a much larger field, where our thoughts, growth, and actions interweave and affect the course of humanity. Together, we are exponentially more powerful.\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) is currently in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>. It\'s making a Square to Pluto and Mercury in </i><b><i>Capricorn.</i></b><i> </i>We are invited to be more honest with ourselves and others (especially about our fears and desires), and to pay attention to our thinking patterns, especially in regards to achieving things out there in the world.\r\n\r\nIn fact, you could say we are being invited to bring an innovative approach to who we are \"out there in the world\" -- and to our interactions with others… In other words: To step it up -- and walk our unique path. To inspire others. Life is too short to waste on things we are less than fully passionate about, that don\'t fully express our uniqueness.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What is being radically transformed in my life? Where am I being invited to confront outdated thought-forms? What\'s the relationship between my inner teenager and my inner adult?\r\n\r\nPluto represents the courage it takes to face our shadows and fears -- and if we can do that, we can discover our true motivations, desires -- and our true power. What do I get obsessed about? What scares me the most, when it comes to fully committing to things I feel passionate about?\r\n\r\nTake a look back at situations that felt disempowering -- and at situations that evoked some sort of helpless fury. When in the past have I given my power away to others, especially authority figures? Was it really about me? What did I choose in that moment?\r\n\r\n<i>Saturn (the traditional ruler of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>) currently in its own sign. </i>Here is a quote that fits really beautifully with this energy: <i>\"The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift of life is yours—it’s an amazing journey, and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. Your journey is determined by the choices you make. Your answers are determined by the questions you ask. Your destination is determined by the steps you take. Your future is determined by what you do today.\"</i> -- Dan Zadra\r\n\r\nWe are also encouraged during this Full Moon to acknowledge that we are all in this together, and that each one of us has the ability to effect change by tapping into our courage, and living our vision in every moment -- and this takes dropping into our hearts more fully.\r\n\r\nFor this <i>Full SuperBlue Moon/Lunar Eclipse</i> you could ask yourself these questions too: How might I learn about self-love? What if I chose to love the world as if it was a reflection of my heart and soul? What if I did that while expressing my unique soul-self, my unique spirit? Where do the inner and the outer experiences of love and connectedness meet?\r\n\r\nFlexibility, thinking outside the box, and self-care are critical during Eclipse season! Self-care is particularly important in times of stress and/or change — basic things, like making sure that we eat healthily and regularly, drink plenty of water, exercise, get plentiful rest -- and allow affection in from friends, family, or pets. Connecting to what feels supportive in order to stay grounded and regenerate ourselves can be very helpful as well.\r\n\r\nThere are so many more aspects we could talk about with this Lunar Eclipse chart, I\'d need an hour-and-a-half to cover it all — and that\'s just what I\'ll be doing during the 90-minute Monthly Forecasting Forum on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time)<b> </b><a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">click here to register</a>: <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ</a>) :-)\r\n\r\nThis <i>Lunar Eclipse</i> shows us that there is always work to be done -- and there\'s no need to get overwhelmed by that, because we all have the power to do it. All we have to do is look into our own heart and see the strength and love lying there. Ask yourself: Where could I be the voice? Where could I be or become the visionary? What if I accepted that I am the hero/heroine of my story? What is my role at this pivotal time?\r\n\r\nRemember: No effort is too small, no step too modest... And most important of all, perhaps: it\'s never too late to be the one who makes a difference -- especially when it comes from the heart and feels authentic!\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, trust that you have what it takes to make a difference for yourself and others. <i>And </i><a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/Lunar+Eclipse.aspx\">if you’d like to learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video</a>.\r\n\r\nA final note about Eclipses: they\'re consciousness upgrades, so for 7 - 10 days before and after one, we are usually in uncharted territory -- anything is possible and it\'s wise to expect the unexpected. Anything <i>brand-new</i> started during this time will likely not pan out the way we thought it would, often because important information comes to light only after Eclipse season is over.\r\n\r\nFor that reason, try to defer any major brand-new projects until after Feb. 25th, when this particular Eclipse season ends. That said, if something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic, allow it to “be”... Just be wary of the urge to push something forward merely to relieve anxiety or impatience.\r\n\r\nAllow for the upgrade to download, staying centered and doing your best to \"ground\" from within -- try using conscious breathing, and regard flexibility as a tool. Best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body…\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point or personal planets in 6-17 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo, Aquarius, Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>?

We enjoy intellectual debates. We are quicker and more alert; our powers of observation are particularly strong.\r\n\r\nWe have something interesting to say, and our perspective on issues can be delightfully unusual and surprisingly insightful. This makes for some great conversations. We are more attracted to scientific and/or metaphysical pursuits right now. Anything that promises progress and advancement for mankind has special appeal.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel a greater need for focusing on your future and any humanitarian causes. Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>?

Body and mind can align; words and deeds connect with ease. As with any opportunity, we have to \"take\" this one: it will not happen by itself.\r\n\r\nWhat actions are calling to you today? How might those actions be connected to other like-minded people... or a vision you have for humanity\'s future?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <em>3-7 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 4:47pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>, where it will journey<b> <strong>until Monday late afternoon.</strong> </b>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions.

Oppositions can be acted out within relationships: one person embodies one of the energies, while the other person \"holds\" the energy of the other pole. When this happens, we sometimes experience the opposition as something that the other person is triggering in us. </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-7095922\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-7095924\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">In the case of this particular opposition, it may be someone poking at our wounds, or pointing out our shortcomings -- which brings up our insecurities or secret shame. This may cause us to spin into an emotional place that is not only connected to what is happening in the moment but also connected to our past -- to our childhood. </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-7095925\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-7095927\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">If this happens, as best as you can, locate the original pain or wound -- and bring compassion, love, understanding, and forgiveness to yourself (and towards your younger Self). Healing can only take place if we are willing to embrace our flaws and love our most vulnerable places. </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-7095928\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-7095930\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">Blaming, shaming, attacking and justifying will not heal us faster -- it will cause more pain and suffering, within us and around us. How quickly would you like to heal? </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-7095931\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-7095933\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in </i><i>23-29 degrees</i> of<b><i> Virgo, Pisces, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b>? <i>If so, you will feel this opposition quite strongly.

This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-7095937\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-7095939\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">The good news is, the Mercury shadow<i> phase ends</i><b></b>today <b>(Tuesday) at 11:50am EDT</b>. This means that we can finally go ahead and book those plane tickets -- or buy that new car or iPhone (or anything else communication- or transportation-related). We can also more easily take in new information, so teaching, sharing and learning will be more effective. <a class=\"userlink\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">Click here to read my blog on the subject</a>.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-7095941\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-7095943\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"><b>Tuesday at 9:15pm EDT, </b><i>Venus changes signs from playful, fun-loving</i><b><i> Leo</i></b><i> to detail-oriented, practical </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>. </i>She will journey through that sign <b>until October 14th.</b> For the next three and a half weeks, our relationships are going to be put under the magnifying glass.

On the financial side of things, we may want to invest in our health -- especially around healthy daily routines -- and anything that makes life run more smoothly on a practical level.

As best as you can, check to see if your intentions are inspired or fearful -- remember, deep, authentic love of all that we are will connect us to the Power within.

This shows us how they affect us personally and what energetic connection is taking place.\n\n<strong>Definition of a Transit: </strong>A <strong>Transit</strong> is the current movement of a planet, in its orbit around the Sun, and through the zodiac. Transits are ultimately events or occurrences that help us learn about our human experience and help us evolve on a Soul level.\n\nWatch the third class here...\n\n<video controls=\"controls\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\">\n<source src=\"https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/astrologercoachcourses/soul-based-astrology-basic-course/Soul+Based+Astrology%3A+Advanced+Soul%E2%80%99s+Journey/Advanced+Soul\'s+Journey+class+3.mp4\" type=\"video/mp4\" />\nYour browser does not support the video tag.\n</video>\n\n<strong>Planetary cycles: </strong>Each planets has its own timing it which it completes a cycle around the zodiac. The faster the planet moves the less impact it has on our evolutionary process. Therefore we will start with the Saturn cycle, which takes about 28-30 years to complete one journey around the Sun.\n\n<strong>What is Saturn’s energy all about?\n</strong>\n\nMaturity process, focus, time, structure, facing reality on realities terms, responsibility, commitments, integrity, no-nonsense attitude, manifesting process in the real world through diligence, persistence and becoming an expert, authority figures (father, boss, police…), restrictions, limitations, fears, doing the work, discipline, separating ourselves from what is no longer in alignment with our truth/ ability to achieve to our goals/ learn our life lessons (situations and relationships)\n\n<strong>Saturn cycles between Transiting Saturn and Natal Saturn:</strong>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>New Saturn cycle (conjunction) aka SaturnReturn (0 degrees): </strong>a new beginning, a new maturity cycle has begun. We are ready to launch a new 30-year cycle. We are ready for change.</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Opening semi-square (45 degrees): </strong>something has begun, we are taking our first steps forward, we are not certain how things will develop yet, it is a trial and error phase</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Opening square (90 degrees): </strong>we are ready to make something happen, time for action, time for decisions, so we can move forward</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Opening sesqui-square (135 degrees): </strong>something is developing, we are almost there, we have a clearer picture, time to revise, analyze, improve and perfect what was started after the time of the SaturnReturn</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Opposition (180 degrees): </strong>fulfillment, fruition of what was started around the time of ourSaturn Return, something is manifesting that is visible to others and ourselves, we can see the results of what was started at the conjunction -- for better or worse: what we see is in direct alignment with how much work we put in 14 years ago.</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Closing sesqui-square (225 degrees): </strong>wisdom, compassion, ability to act with purpose and integrity,time of sharing, teaching, giving back, demonstrating what we have learned</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Closing Square (270 degrees):</strong> we begin to think about all that we have experienced since our Saturn Return, we start the completion phase by breaking away from these experiences, we start to consider our options for the next cycle, we start to let go a little, making room for something new, something is beginning to shift, we are feeling an inward change</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Closing semi-square (315 degrees):</strong> we are letting go of the previous cycle, we are looking for closure, we also start to experiment with something completely new, time to have a little fun, observe, reflect and wonder, look within, the answer lies inside of us</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>And back to the next Saturn Return...</strong></p>\n&nbsp;\n\n<strong>Transiting Saturn on the Angles: </strong>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Ascendant (1<sup>st</sup> house cusp): </strong>We need to own and project a healthy Saturn image, we become the authority figure, we become the qualities of Saturn. Whichever maturity process we have not learned yet, will show up and be in our face, as we feel identified with the Saturn energy; this is especially connected to our relationships and self-image, we are getting a chance to have a do-over: new career, new approach to life, new attitudes, new beginning/approach in regards to Saturn natal position by sign and house</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>IC (4<sup>th</sup> House cusp): </strong>take what you learned since Saturn crossed over your Ascendant and put it all into practice, use that knowledge to start something connected to your career goals. The maturity process here is connected to our past, our family, where we live and who we live with. Evaluate those things and take responsibility for your part in it. See what needs to change, what have you outgrown? How can you have the fullest life possible?</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Descendent (7<sup>th</sup> House cusp):</strong>This is the time to take our one-on-one partnership seriously. We either want to make stronger commitments or we want to separate from people who are no longer in alignment with our truth of what an equal relationship is. We need to focus on our partner and take responsibility for who we are in that relationship and what we contribute. We may have to change how we do things in our relationships.</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>MC (10<sup>th</sup> House cusp):</strong>Here we begin to take career goals more seriously; it could either be a stronger commitment towards a long-term goal or a change in direction, a new commitment. What we receive during this time is in direct proportion to what we have put into our goals the past 14 years or since transiting Saturn crossed the IC</p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Transiting Saturn in the 12<sup>th</sup> House:</strong>Here we are letting go of what no longer serves us in regards to the Saturn energy: fears, commitments, structures we had build in the past, anything connected to our natal Saturn placement by sign and house.We need to focus within and relinquish all control. We need to have faith and let ourselves be guided to the next part of our lives.Slowing down is a big part of that transit as well.</p>\n&nbsp;\n\n<strong>Home assignment: </strong>Investigate the relationship between your Transiting Saturn and your Natal Saturn.

This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the Lunar Eclipse</i> -- a very powerful Full Moon (exact on Wednesday morning).\r\n\r\nWe all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-) So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can.\r\n\r\nFun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (January 31st): </strong><i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><strong>all day </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday morning, at 8:27am EST: </b><i>the Moon opposes the Sun</i> <i>in 11.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo</i></b> -- <em>a very powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse</em> becomes exact. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered <em>Leo</em> Tuesday at 1:53pm EST. </strong>\r\n\r\nOnce every six months, the Sun, Moon, and Earth finally align precisely enough for a Solar or Lunar Eclipse to occur; Eclipses are always powerfully connected to the Moon Nodes and thus to our Soul\'s Journey. <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/Lunar+Eclipse.aspx\">If you’d like to learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video</a>.\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon is <i>the first of two Eclipses within the next four weeks and it\'s extra-powerful -- firstly</i><i>, because it\'s</i> a <i>SuperMoon -- </i>these occur when the Moon is either Full or New, while at its closest distance to the Earth; they are therefore more powerful. This often means an increase in emotional reactions, plus greater awareness around the issues connected to the particular Full Moon energy in question.\r\n\r\nSecondly, as the second Full Moon of this calendar month, it is also a \"<i>Blue Moon\" -- so </i>I think we can go ahead and call it a SuperBlue Moon :-)\r\n\r\nGiven that our SuperBlue Full Moon is happening in the <b>Leo</b>/<b>Aquarius</b> polarity, there\'s extra emphasis on increasing awareness of our mind\'s activities, and on opening our heart chakras. As we do this, we can open more to joy, and be more playful.\r\n\r\nLunar Eclipses generally direct our attention to our \"emotional body” and our relationships; they also connect us more fully to our Soul’s journey (as shown by the Moon Nodes). This particular Eclipse focuses on the relationship between the individual (<b>Leo</b>) and the collective (<b>Aquarius</b>).\r\n\r\nWe become aware of what has been suppressed or ignored -- or, this being a North Node Eclipse, what needs to be embraced, integrated and explored -- in regards to the <b>Leo</b> energy.\r\n\r\nIt\'s been 19 years since we experienced a Lunar Eclipse in this degree... Think back to Jan. 31st, 1999: What did I need to open my heart to back then? What became more clear at that time, in regards to exploring joy? Was I able to get in touch with my inner child?\r\n\r\nThis is the third Lunar Eclipse in a 23-month cycle of Eclipses, all connected to the <b>Leo/Aquarius</b> polarity; the cycle in question began in February 2017 with a Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b> and will last until Jan. 2019, ending with yet another Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b>.\r\n\r\nThink back to February of last year: What started shifting for me, in my attitudes towards the collective (or \"humanity\")? How about like-minded people? Was there likewise a shift in my desire for more joy? Self-expression? Heartfelt actions? If I think back to the last Solar Eclipse in Leo from August 21st, 2017, what has brought the possibility for more joy into my life?\r\n\r\nLife-changing revelations are more likely over the next two weeks — and with them, shifts in our consciousness — and the impact of an Eclipse\'s energy also lasts longer than a regular Lunation (anywhere from 6 months to 2 years!)\r\n\r\nI will talk about the upcoming Eclipses in more detail in my next Forecasting Forum — if you want to know how the Eclipses are going to impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up, to our own birth charts. The Forum will be live on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time); for more info or to register, <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">click here</a>: <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ</a>\r\n\r\nThis particular Eclipse focuses on authentic self-expression and creativity. Ask yourself: What might open up if I expressed myself with my heart as my center? With more courage? If I were too much in my head, what would tip me off to that? What might my world look like, if I allowed my light to shine just a little brighter?\r\n\r\nWe are also invited to allow head and heart to merge, bringing about a brighter future for humankind -- what would it look like if I allowed that merger? What if I chose, right here and now, to contribute to humanity from a courageous, heart-centered and authentic place? What if I simply chose that, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>Leo</b> represents our individual expression, the kind of light we came to shine, joy we came to spread. <b>Leo</b> is the sign of individual creativity; <b>Aquarius</b> represents the power of collaboration, where the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts. <b>Aquarius</b>, connects us to the complex patterns formed by many coming together<i>.</i>\r\n\r\nThis means it\'s important to be especially aware and responsible when connecting with others. As best as you can, get present and ask yourself: What am I bringing forth? What are my intentions? What is in my heart that longs to be expressed? Do I have the courage to stand in my authentic self-expression?\r\n\r\nIf we want to see a greater shift in the world at large (an Aquarian concern), we must each do our own part and express our unique gifts (Leo’s imperative). That said, if we don\'t come from the heart -- or if we get stuck in over-thinking things and/or being overly concerned with what other people are thinking -- we will not be able to fulfill on that vision.\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> makes a Quincunx to Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>. </i>This might bring some internal discomfort; we need to make inner adjustments here. It nudges us to tune into our intuition, and create from a place of love rather than fear.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What if it were possible to get really in tune with my intuitive feeling body <i>and</i> express myself fully, with courage and without compromise? Might an introverted approach like that serve my extroverted, unique expression of Self? How can I transform lower vibrational feelings? For example, how might I transform fear into love? What approach might support such a transformation?\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun (ruler of Leo) in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> conjoins the South Node and Venus in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>. </i>This reminds us that each one of us has an electromagnetic field, and are an integral part of a much larger field, where our thoughts, growth, and actions interweave and affect the course of humanity. Together, we are exponentially more powerful.\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) is currently in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>. It\'s making a Square to Pluto and Mercury in </i><b><i>Capricorn.</i></b><i> </i>We are invited to be more honest with ourselves and others (especially about our fears and desires), and to pay attention to our thinking patterns, especially in regards to achieving things out there in the world.\r\n\r\nIn fact, you could say we are being invited to bring an innovative approach to who we are \"out there in the world\" -- and to our interactions with others… In other words: To step it up -- and walk our unique path. To inspire others. Life is too short to waste on things we are less than fully passionate about, that don\'t fully express our uniqueness.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What is being radically transformed in my life? Where am I being invited to confront outdated thought-forms? What\'s the relationship between my inner teenager and my inner adult?\r\n\r\nPluto represents the courage it takes to face our shadows and fears -- and if we can do that, we can discover our true motivations, desires -- and our true power. What do I get obsessed about? What scares me the most, when it comes to fully committing to things I feel passionate about?\r\n\r\nTake a look back at situations that felt disempowering -- and at situations that evoked some sort of helpless fury. When in the past have I given my power away to others, especially authority figures? Was it really about me? What did I choose in that moment?\r\n\r\n<i>Saturn (the traditional ruler of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>) currently in its own sign. </i>Here is a quote that fits really beautifully with this energy: <i>\"The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift of life is yours—it’s an amazing journey, and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. Your journey is determined by the choices you make. Your answers are determined by the questions you ask. Your destination is determined by the steps you take. Your future is determined by what you do today.\"</i> -- Dan Zadra\r\n\r\nWe are also encouraged during this Full Moon to acknowledge that we are all in this together, and that each one of us has the ability to effect change by tapping into our courage, and living our vision in every moment -- and this takes dropping into our hearts more fully.\r\n\r\nFor this <i>Full SuperBlue Moon/Lunar Eclipse</i> you could ask yourself these questions too: How might I learn about self-love? What if I chose to love the world as if it was a reflection of my heart and soul? What if I did that while expressing my unique soul-self, my unique spirit? Where do the inner and the outer experiences of love and connectedness meet?\r\n\r\nFlexibility, thinking outside the box, and self-care are critical during Eclipse season! Self-care is particularly important in times of stress and/or change — basic things, like making sure that we eat healthily and regularly, drink plenty of water, exercise, get plentiful rest -- and allow affection in from friends, family, or pets. Connecting to what feels supportive in order to stay grounded and regenerate ourselves can be very helpful as well.\r\n\r\nThere are so many more aspects we could talk about with this Lunar Eclipse chart, I\'d need an hour-and-a-half to cover it all — and that\'s just what I\'ll be doing during the 90-minute Monthly Forecasting Forum on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time)<b> </b><a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">click here to register</a>: <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ</a>) :-)\r\n\r\nThis <i>Lunar Eclipse</i> shows us that there is always work to be done -- and there\'s no need to get overwhelmed by that, because we all have the power to do it. All we have to do is look into our own heart and see the strength and love lying there. Ask yourself: Where could I be the voice? Where could I be or become the visionary? What if I accepted that I am the hero/heroine of my story? What is my role at this pivotal time?\r\n\r\nRemember: No effort is too small, no step too modest... And most important of all, perhaps: it\'s never too late to be the one who makes a difference -- especially when it comes from the heart and feels authentic!\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, trust that you have what it takes to make a difference for yourself and others. <i>And </i><a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/Lunar+Eclipse.aspx\">if you’d like to learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video</a>.\r\n\r\nA final note about Eclipses: they\'re consciousness upgrades, so for 7 - 10 days before and after one, we are usually in uncharted territory -- anything is possible and it\'s wise to expect the unexpected. Anything <i>brand-new</i> started during this time will likely not pan out the way we thought it would, often because important information comes to light only after Eclipse season is over.\r\n\r\nFor that reason, try to defer any major brand-new projects until after Feb. 25th, when this particular Eclipse season ends. That said, if something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic, allow it to “be”... Just be wary of the urge to push something forward merely to relieve anxiety or impatience.\r\n\r\nAllow for the upgrade to download, staying centered and doing your best to \"ground\" from within -- try using conscious breathing, and regard flexibility as a tool. Best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body…\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point or personal planets in 6-17 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo, Aquarius, Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>?

We enjoy intellectual debates. We are quicker and more alert; our powers of observation are particularly strong.\r\n\r\nWe have something interesting to say, and our perspective on issues can be delightfully unusual and surprisingly insightful. This makes for some great conversations. We are more attracted to scientific and/or metaphysical pursuits right now. Anything that promises progress and advancement for mankind has special appeal.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel a greater need for focusing on your future and any humanitarian causes. Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>?

This particular Eclipse focuses on the relationship between the individual (<b>Leo</b>) and the collective (<b>Aquarius</b>).\r\n\r\nWe become aware of what has been suppressed or ignored -- or, this being a North Node Eclipse, what needs to be embraced, integrated and explored -- in regards to the <b>Leo</b> energy.\r\n\r\nIt\'s been 19 years since we experienced a Lunar Eclipse in this degree... Think back to Jan. 31st, 1999: What did I need to open my heart to back then? What became more clear at that time, in regards to exploring joy? Was I able to get in touch with my inner child?\r\n\r\nThis is the third Lunar Eclipse in a 23-month cycle of Eclipses, all connected to the <b>Leo/Aquarius</b> polarity; the cycle in question began in February 2017 with a Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b> and will last until Jan. 2019, ending with yet another Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b>.\r\n\r\nThink back to February of last year: What started shifting for me, in my attitudes towards the collective (or \"humanity\")? How about like-minded people? Was there likewise a shift in my desire for more joy? Self-expression? Heartfelt actions? If I think back to the last Solar Eclipse in Leo from August 21st, 2017, what has brought the possibility for more joy into my life?\r\n\r\nLife-changing revelations are more likely over the next two weeks — and with them, shifts in our consciousness — and the impact of an Eclipse\'s energy also lasts longer than a regular Lunation (anywhere from 6 months to 2 years!)\r\n\r\nI will talk about the upcoming Eclipses in more detail in my next Forecasting Forum — if you want to know how the Eclipses are going to impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up, to our own birth charts. The Forum will be live on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time); for more info or to register, <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">click here</a>: <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ</a>\r\n\r\nThis particular Eclipse focuses on authentic self-expression and creativity. Ask yourself: What might open up if I expressed myself with my heart as my center? With more courage? If I were too much in my head, what would tip me off to that? What might my world look like, if I allowed my light to shine just a little brighter?\r\n\r\nWe are also invited to allow head and heart to merge, bringing about a brighter future for humankind -- what would it look like if I allowed that merger? What if I chose, right here and now, to contribute to humanity from a courageous, heart-centered and authentic place? What if I simply chose that, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>Leo</b> represents our individual expression, the kind of light we came to shine, joy we came to spread. <b>Leo</b> is the sign of individual creativity; <b>Aquarius</b> represents the power of collaboration, where the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts. <b>Aquarius</b>, connects us to the complex patterns formed by many coming together<i>.</i>\r\n\r\nThis means it\'s important to be especially aware and responsible when connecting with others. As best as you can, get present and ask yourself: What am I bringing forth? What are my intentions? What is in my heart that longs to be expressed? Do I have the courage to stand in my authentic self-expression?\r\n\r\nIf we want to see a greater shift in the world at large (an Aquarian concern), we must each do our own part and express our unique gifts (Leo’s imperative). That said, if we don\'t come from the heart --<span style=\"color: #993300;\"> or if we get stuck in over-thinking things and/or being overly concerned with what other people are thinking -- we will not be able to fulfill on that vision.</span>\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> makes a Quincunx to Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>. </i>This might bring some internal discomfort; we need to make inner adjustments here. It nudges us to tune into our intuition, and create from a place of love rather than fear.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What if it were possible to get really in tune with my intuitive feeling body <i>and</i> express myself fully, with courage and without compromise? Might an introverted approach like that serve my extroverted, unique expression of Self? How can I transform lower vibrational feelings? For example, how might I transform fear into love? What approach might support such a transformation?\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun (ruler of Leo) in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> conjoins the South Node and Venus in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>. </i>This reminds us that each one of us has an electromagnetic field, and are an integral part of a much larger field, where our thoughts, growth, and actions interweave and affect the course of humanity. Together, we are exponentially more powerful.\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) is currently in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>. It\'s making a Square to Pluto and Mercury in </i><b><i>Capricorn.</i></b><i> </i>We are invited to be more honest with ourselves and others (especially about our fears and desires), and to pay attention to our thinking patterns, especially in regards to achieving things out there in the world.\r\n\r\nIn fact, you could say we are being invited to bring an innovative approach to who we are \"out there in the world\" -- and to our interactions with others… In other words: To step it up -- and walk our unique path. To inspire others. Life is too short to waste on things we are less than fully passionate about, that don\'t fully express our uniqueness.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What is being radically transformed in my life? Where am I being invited to confront outdated thought-forms? What\'s the relationship between my inner teenager and my inner adult?\r\n\r\nPluto represents the courage it takes to face our shadows and fears -- and if we can do that, we can discover our true motivations, desires -- and our true power. What do I get obsessed about? What scares me the most, when it comes to fully committing to things I feel passionate about?\r\n\r\nTake a look back at situations that felt disempowering -- and at situations that evoked some sort of helpless fury. When in the past have I given my power away to others, especially authority figures? Was it really about me? What did I choose in that moment?\r\n\r\n<i>Saturn (the traditional ruler of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>) currently in its own sign. </i>Here is a quote that fits really beautifully with this energy: <i>\"The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift of life is yours—it’s an amazing journey, and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. Your journey is determined by the choices you make. Your answers are determined by the questions you ask. Your destination is determined by the steps you take. Your future is determined by what you do today.\"</i> -- Dan Zadra\r\n\r\nWe are also encouraged during this Full Moon to acknowledge that we are all in this together, and that each one of us has the ability to effect change by tapping into our courage, and living our vision in every moment -- and this takes dropping into our hearts more fully.\r\n\r\nFor this <i>Full SuperBlue Moon/Lunar Eclipse</i> you could ask yourself these questions too: How might I learn about self-love? What if I chose to love the world as if it was a reflection of my heart and soul? What if I did that while expressing my unique soul-self, my unique spirit? Where do the inner and the outer experiences of love and connectedness meet?\r\n\r\nFlexibility, thinking outside the box, and self-care are critical during Eclipse season! Self-care is particularly important in times of stress and/or change — basic things, like making sure that we eat healthily and regularly, drink plenty of water, exercise, get plentiful rest -- and allow affection in from friends, family, or pets. Connecting to what feels supportive in order to stay grounded and regenerate ourselves can be very helpful as well.\r\n\r\nThere are so many more aspects we could talk about with this Lunar Eclipse chart, I\'d need an hour-and-a-half to cover it all — and that\'s just what I\'ll be doing during the 90-minute Monthly Forecasting Forum on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time)<b> </b><a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">click here to register</a>: <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ</a>) :-)\r\n\r\nThis <i>Lunar Eclipse</i> shows us that there is always work to be done -- and there\'s no need to get overwhelmed by that, because we all have the power to do it. All we have to do is look into our own heart and see the strength and love lying there. Ask yourself: Where could I be the voice? Where could I be or become the visionary? What if I accepted that I am the hero/heroine of my story? What is my role at this pivotal time?\r\n\r\nRemember: No effort is too small, no step too modest... And most important of all, perhaps: it\'s never too late to be the one who makes a difference -- especially when it comes from the heart and feels authentic!\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, trust that you have what it takes to make a difference for yourself and others. <i>And </i><a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/Lunar+Eclipse.aspx\">if you’d like to learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video</a>.\r\n\r\nA final note about Eclipses: they\'re consciousness upgrades, so for 7 - 10 days before and after one, we are usually in uncharted territory -- anything is possible and it\'s wise to expect the unexpected. Anything <i>brand-new</i> started during this time will likely not pan out the way we thought it would, often because important information comes to light only after Eclipse season is over.\r\n\r\nFor that reason, try to defer any major brand-new projects until after Feb. 25th, when this particular Eclipse season ends. That said, if something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic, allow it to “be”... Just be wary of the urge to push something forward merely to relieve anxiety or impatience.\r\n\r\nAllow for the upgrade to download, staying centered and doing your best to \"ground\" from within -- try using conscious breathing, and regard flexibility as a tool. Best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body…\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point or personal planets in 6-17 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo, Aquarius, Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s Full Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 8:39am EST,</strong><strong> </strong><i>Mercury </i><i>leaves practical, cautious, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><i>and moves into</i> <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking, objective </i><b><i>Aquarius.</i></b><b><i> </i></b>It will journey there <b>until February 17th.<i> </i></b>For the next three weeks, we tend to contradict others more quickly, and offer a different perspective. We enjoy intellectual debates. We are quicker and more alert; our powers of observation are particularly strong.\r\n\r\nWe have something interesting to say, and our perspective on issues can be delightfully unusual and surprisingly insightful. This makes for some great conversations. We are more attracted to scientific and/or metaphysical pursuits right now. Anything that promises progress and advancement for mankind has special appeal.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel a greater need for focusing on your future and any humanitarian causes. Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>?

This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 1st)</strong><strong> at 12:57am EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into detail-oriented, practical</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <strong>until Saturday very early morning</strong>; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<b> </b>This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the</i> <em>Full Moon</em> (exact later this evening).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 6:22am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday evening on; it will remain strong until this Saturday evening. </strong>Harmony and goodwill reign under this influence. We experience expansive feelings in love and a feeling that anything is possible if we set our sights high enough.\r\n\r\nWe are more likely to be friendly, open, and optimistic -- it\'s a great time for winning people\'s trust, making it much easier to make social contacts. We believe in our relationships and we have faith that all is going to work out for the best.\r\n\r\nWe might feel an urge to connect to people from other countries or foreign cultures, just to have an adventure, or widen our horizons. Financially, there might be a tendency to spend more than usual, as we feel confident that an abundance of resources is available to us. The thing to watch out for is the feeling that we don\'t have to actually do anything to \"cash in\".\r\n\r\nThat said, there are plenty of opportunities to be explored (financial and otherwise), especially in connection with spiritual or creative endeavors, Businesses and partnerships that deal with intimacy or transformational work, with the film, fashion and music industry, with educational businesses or endeavors, or with the travel industry are also highlighted ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or <b>Cancer</b></i><i>? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\nAs mentioned above, the Moon’s entrance<i> </i>into<i> </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b> on Thursday very early morning started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon </i>that will be \"exact\" today<b> (Thursday), at 7:51pm EST, </b><i>in 11 degrees of</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b>.\r\n\r\n<em>A Full Moon</em> is always an opposition between the Moon and the Sun. During these oppositions, we seek balance, alignment and integration around two perspectives that seem like polar opposites; very often we experience this (and achieve it) through our interactions with others... so relationships of all kinds are highlighted during Full Moons. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/discernment-from-the-heart/\">Feel free to also watch my video for more:</a> https://youtu.be/omEJwbuQZwA\r\n\r\nToday, the Moon in <b>Virgo </b>opposes the Sun in <b>Pisces.</b> Virgo seeks personal wholeness; Pisces reminds us of an even greater wholeness — our divinity and interconnectedness with all of life.\r\n\r\nVirgo benefits from apprenticeship, whereas Pisces learns to trust inner guidance above all else -- when balanced, we are able to discern without judgment, serve without obligation, and love all of creation, including ourselves. Virgo analyzes, Pisces feels. We are invited to discern what\'s real, so we can make healthier choices.\r\n\r\nTo find the <i>balance between </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> and </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, ask yourself: Where do I need to be more selective? Where do I need to be more accepting? How can I tap into my inner knowingness and make practical choices? What if “choosing\" was already (and always) in alignment with divine timing?\r\n\r\nAll Full Moons bring awareness to a polarity, and this illuminates the shadow sides of both signs (in this case Virgo and Pisces).\r\n\r\nVirgo\'s shadow side is \"Judgement\", as this creates separation from others and a split within ourselves. It closes our heart. It limits our ability to learn. It keeps us stuck in duality, defending our position or attacking others. It\'s showing up when we label things as good or bad, rather than seeing them in terms of useful or unproductive.\r\n\r\nWhen we draw on the higher vibrations of Pisces we can more easily connect with the higher vibration of Virgo. Pisces\'s best qualities are compassion, intuitiveness, open-heartedness, inspirational creativity and imagination. At its best, Pisces understands that we are all souls in various states of development, doing the best we can.\r\n\r\nThe shadow side of Pisces is a lack of boundaries, ambiguity, escapism, helplessness or victimization; when we draw on the best qualities of Virgo we can move back into the higher vibration of Pisces again. Virgo\'s best qualities are the ability to choose wisely, and discern objectively what works and what doesn\'t.\r\n\r\nWhen both sides are integrated well, we have the acuity and sharpness of the mind, united with the wisdom of our heart and our intuitive guidance.\r\n\r\nWhat if I could find the synergy between my emotional, intuitive understanding and my rational, scientific understanding? Do I really have to choose between scientific facts and intuitive knowingness... What if I could have both? How might that be possible?\r\n\r\nFor the next two weeks, Virgo asks us to become aware of the clutter that is distracting us from our priorities; ask yourself: What in my current daily life is nourishing? And what might be toxic?\r\n\r\nVirgo\'s highest vibration is also about Service. To be of service, we must acquire discernment — not judgement, not criticism, not perfectionism, but the ability to focus objectively on what is helpful, and set aside the rest. In order to serve, we have to first realize that we have something to offer.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What if I didn\'t have to be perfect to be of service? What might I notice if I were 5% more mindful of my inner dialog? What if I brought 5% more compassion to myself? Even to my inner critic?\r\n\r\nThe last New Moon (on February 15th) was a Solar Eclipse, signaling the ending and beginning of a 19-year cycle. It shows us what remains to be healed, integrated, or released in order for us to take the next big step on our Soul\'s path.\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun, Neptune, Mercury, Venus and Chiron are all in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, drawing us inward, to be in silence and solitude as much as possible. We are to hear the quiet truth of our intuition and release what no longer serves our Soul\'s growth.\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon opposes Neptune, and the Sun conjuncts Neptune...</i> Ask yourself: If I\'m honest with myself, what would I notice that feels draining to me, rather than inspiring? What might happen if I surrendered my personal will 5% more to divine will? Could I be open to receiving guidance directly from my higher Self, my Soul-Self? If my feelings had words and could speak, what would they say? What would my dreams say? What message might my intuition have to give me?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>, conjunct Venus (exalted in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>):</i> Everything is made up of energy and therefore interconnected. If we can recognize that we all do the best we can, at any given time, and that on a spiritual level there are no mistakes, only experiences, we can learn about empathy -- and our brain will literally rewire itself towards compassion, rather than criticism.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What might be possible if I allowed my mind to be just 5% more relaxed? What if I stood in allowing, curiosity, and creative spaciousness? Am I currently using my imagination to inspire or scare myself? Do I have a tendency to go towards the worst case scenarios, or best case scenarios? What might \"love\" choose?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury/Venus alignment also conjuncts Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces --</i></b> this is an opportunity for healing: Chiron, the wounded healer, reminds us that anything can heal through the power of acceptance and love, and that healing happens by reclaiming and re-integrating those parts of ourselves that seem limited or \"imperfect\".\r\n\r\nCheck to see: do I feel unloved? Unworthy? Simply not good enough? And if I have those feelings, could I allow them simply to be here, just for right now? Could I be open to the possibility that these feelings are coming up right now, to be acknowledged and released?\r\n\r\nCheck to see if you are maybe revisiting themes from late January and from April of last year, when Venus was conjunct Chiron in Pisces. Ask yourself: What was present in my relationships with others back then? Or my relationship with the divine? Did I have any realizations? Any understanding of what needs to heal further?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury/Venus/Chiron alignment trines Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio </i></b><i>(stationing at the time of the FM, therefore exalted).</i> This supports a connection to our emotional/spiritual body.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How might a deeper, authentic, emotional approach support my connection to my divinity and my related healing process? What new perspectives or higher truths might I find?\r\n\r\nIf I looked at my human limitations through the lens of the human-soul alliance, is it at least possible that this would deepen my relationships with others?\r\n\r\nWe will also go into Jupiter\'s movement in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the Jupiter Station and Retrograde phase is going to impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up to our own birth charts.\r\n\r\nThe next Forum is next week <b>Friday</b>, <b>March 2nd, 2018 at </b>12pm<b> </b>PST/<b> 3pm EST</b>/8pm GMT (London-time). To join for FREE, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/JLFckh\">become a Star or SuperStar Member</a> on my site: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/JLFckh\">https://goo.gl/JLFckh</a> For more info about the Forums, or to register as at the regular fee, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">click here</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">https://goo.gl/wrs4H3</a>.\r\n\r\n<i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> squares the Mercury/Venus/Chiron alignment in </i><b><i>Pisces.</i></b> Squares always ask us to stretch and grow -- this particular square, with <i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> vs. Mercury/Venus in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>is all about fast vs. slow, extroverted vs. introverted, physical vs. emotional inspiration, impulsive vs. thoughtful, meditative vs. direct, straightforward vs. ambiguous or long-winded. Phew.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What would it look like if I could walk my talk 5% more, instead of getting caught up in idealized phantasies or dreams? What if I looked within before leaping into action? What daily practice could support my looking before I leap? What if my truths applied to me only? How might this contribute to my inner peace?\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon invites us to \"be love\" in thought and action. It also reminds us that our mindfulness and open heart make a difference, not only in our own life, but in the world. Before taking action (or if you are simply feeling ambitious about something) ask yourself: What would love do? What would my heart say, if it had words and could speak?\r\n\r\nRather than pushing, over-thinking or giving up, I invite you to conduct small, simple experiments and have faith in universal support…\r\n\r\n<b>For the next two weeks</b>, ask yourself: Where is the balance point of intellect and intuition? Striving and surrender? What if I trusted 5% more in the \"perfect\" outcome?\r\n\r\n<i>To sum it all up:</i> This Full Moon reminds us that, no matter what chaos, intensity and craziness might be going on outside of us, we have only to look inside to find our truth, to find peace. It’s in our hearts that we\'ll find what matters -- and what we can believe in whole-heartedly. Peace comes from within, from each one of us... We are what we choose to be in every “moment of now”... so choose wisely!\r\n\r\nAs best as you can therefore, simply observe like a scientist, from a place of neutrality and curiosity. Notice what serves you in the moment.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/discernment-from-the-heart/\">To learn more about all aspects connected to this month\'s Full Moon, please click here to watch my video:</a> https://youtu.be/omEJwbuQZwA\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point, or personal planets in 9-13 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>?

We see the bigger picture, communicate more positively and readily inspire others.\r\n\r\nWe are tolerant of other perspectives and ideas, naturally avoid narrow-minded thinking, and feel at ease reconnecting with people from all walks of life. We might be drawn to exploring foreign languages, cultures, spiritual practices and countries. What learning would expand your horizons?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or <b>Cancer</b></i><i>?

You may also want to plan Friday evening/night ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Venus in <strong>Pisces</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 3rd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><em><i>detail-oriented, practical </i></em><strong><em>Virgo</em> </strong>and<strong> <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> until 3:20am EST </strong>(see Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 3:20am EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into harmony-loving, balance-seeking </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>, where<i> </i>it will journey <strong>until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Monday morning (March 5th)</span></strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><b>.</b></span> The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Saturday night,</strong> the <em>Jupiter Station intensifies in 23 degrees of <strong>Scorpio, </strong></em>as it is preparing to come to a halt next week Thursday. This station will last <b>until March 20th</b>.\r\n\r\nJupiter represents our desire to seek insight through deep knowledge. Some of this planet\'s keywords: morality; gratitude; hope; honor; the law. Jupiter is the planet of possibility, optimism, wisdom, understanding and growth (including mental and spiritual growth). Jupiter is also associated with our <i>sense of humor</i>, generosity, tolerance, goodwill, and mercy (<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/feb-19-25/\">see last week\'s blog entry for more details</a>).\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 21-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Taurus, Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> will be more affected by this station. This is also true for those of us with their Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 4th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking </i><strong><b><i>Libra</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Saturday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Sun/Neptune alignment in <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">almost 14 degrees</span> of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 8:54am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday morning on; it will remain strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">next week Wednesday morning (March 7th)</span> . </strong>This alignment asks that we slow down and go within, allow for all energies to move through us -- being present and compassionate are the higher vibrations of this alignment -- we are more aware than ever that all things are interconnected.\r\n\r\nFeeling things -- and allowing everyone (ourselves included) to \"have their feelings\" -- is highly recommended. When we start to resist the flow of life, the flow of feeling, we will create fear and suffering. The remedy is to open our hearts and let love flow through us.\r\n\r\nWhen we get quiet and allow ourselves to be still for a moment, we sense our interconnectedness with all living things, our spiritual roots, the sacredness of all.\r\n\r\nIf, on the other hand, we are unable to connect to our divine essence, if we focus only on what\'s outside of us, we will feel separate -- and this illusion of separateness might cause us to look for an escape from our harsh \"realities\".\r\n\r\nWhat might be possible if we simply let go of fear-based thinking altogether for a moment, and instead simply connected to our wise heart, trusting the perfection of each \"now\" moment? What if we were to let go of all expectations and open our heart to the miracle of life?\r\n\r\nThis is about surrendering to the moment of now, to love, to our heart -- not about giving up -- rather, allowing \"what is\" to be ok, to see the perfection of \"right now\".\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 11-17 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b><i>(The Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early afternoon</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Venus alignment in almost 26 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 1:05pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">from Tuesday on</span>; it will remain strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">next week, Thursday evening (March 8th).</span> </strong>This is an excellent time to share about love, compassion, animals, spiritual endeavors, some ideal, music, dreams, meditation techniques -- or anything we feel intuitive connected to -- and also about any teaching endeavors connected to those areas.\r\n\r\nThis alignment supports communicating from a compassionate, intuitive heart -- and in fact, it becomes essential to connect to people with whom we feel a strong affinity. We wish to form those connections in a spirit of harmony, sensitivity and equality. In fact, we generally tend to have a strong sense of fairness at this time, and want to be around people who share these values.\r\n\r\nWe also thoroughly enjoy the written and spoken word -- literature, wordplay, puns, moving conversations -- especially when the words are imaginative and speak of something romantic, inspiring, spiritual or creative.<span style=\"color: #993300;\">\r\n</span>\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>?

Remember: what you can do for yourself, you can do for others more easily, and vice versa.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, whatever you do <i>or</i> don\'t communicate: cut yourself a little slack. Being human means making mistakes from time to time; there is no shame in that -- we always learn the most from our mistakes -- mistakes are our gold.\r\n\r\nDouble-check: does avoiding or judging my past mistakes actually serve me? Or anyone else? Could I be open to the possibility that all \"mistakes\" -- past, present and future -- exist to serve my evolution?  If that were true: what would need reevaluating?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 24-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

Social situations might feel awkward.\r\n\r\nWe may experience emotional triggers, so as best as you can, bring compassion and understanding to yourself, to others, and to those past experiences that wounded you. We need to learn to love ourselves, and heal deep fears of being \"not good enough\". Healing happens much faster when we are open to forgiving and embracing ourselves exactly as we are (and are not).\r\n\r\nFor those of you who want to have a better understanding of your personal healing journey, feel free to get the recording of my recent <b>Chiron-workshop: \"Healing with Astrology\" . </b>Join any of my memberships and receive this recording for FREE (value $30):<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\">Click here for more info</a>.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 24-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, otherwise you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<b><strong>Monday late</strong> morning</b>, we are in a state of “flow” and emotional connection to others; spiritual and creative endeavors are favored. <span style=\"color: #800000;\">(<i>Moon in </i><b><i>Cancer </i></b><i>trines Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> <em>at 10:19am EST.</em> -- post at 8:30am EST)</i></span><i></i>\r\n\r\n<b><strong>Monday early afternoon, </strong></b>requires some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice. Making this choice demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to connect to like-minded people that share our vision — and on the other hand, the need to nurture ourselves and stay in touch with our feeling body. <span style=\"color: #800000;\">(<em>Moon in <strong>Cancer </strong>quincunxes Venus in <strong>Aquarius</strong> at 1:30pm EST -- post at 12pm EST)</em></span>\r\n\r\n<b><strong>Monday </strong>late evening</b><b>,</b> we may take an all-or-northing attitude toward others; this could drive some tension or oppositional behaviors...

You may also want to plan early afternoon ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">(Moon opposes Mercury in <strong>Capricorn</strong>)</span></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 1:53pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Thursday afternoon</strong><b>. </b>We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the Lunar Eclipse</i> -- a very powerful Full Moon (exact on Wednesday morning).\r\n\r\nWe all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-) So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can.\r\n\r\nFun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (January 31st): </strong><i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><strong>all day </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday morning, at 8:27am EST: </b><i>the Moon opposes the Sun</i> <i>in 11.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo</i></b> -- <em>a very powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse</em> becomes exact. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered <em>Leo</em> Tuesday at 1:53pm EST. </strong>\r\n\r\nOnce every six months, the Sun, Moon, and Earth finally align precisely enough for a Solar or Lunar Eclipse to occur; Eclipses are always powerfully connected to the Moon Nodes and thus to our Soul\'s Journey. <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/Lunar+Eclipse.aspx\">If you’d like to learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video</a>.\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon is <i>the first of two Eclipses within the next four weeks and it\'s extra-powerful -- firstly</i><i>, because it\'s</i> a <i>SuperMoon -- </i>these occur when the Moon is either Full or New, while at its closest distance to the Earth; they are therefore more powerful. This often means an increase in emotional reactions, plus greater awareness around the issues connected to the particular Full Moon energy in question.\r\n\r\nSecondly, as the second Full Moon of this calendar month, it is also a \"<i>Blue Moon\" -- so </i>I think we can go ahead and call it a SuperBlue Moon :-)\r\n\r\nGiven that our SuperBlue Full Moon is happening in the <b>Leo</b>/<b>Aquarius</b> polarity, there\'s extra emphasis on increasing awareness of our mind\'s activities, and on opening our heart chakras. As we do this, we can open more to joy, and be more playful.\r\n\r\nLunar Eclipses generally direct our attention to our \"emotional body” and our relationships; they also connect us more fully to our Soul’s journey (as shown by the Moon Nodes). This particular Eclipse focuses on the relationship between the individual (<b>Leo</b>) and the collective (<b>Aquarius</b>).\r\n\r\nWe become aware of what has been suppressed or ignored -- or, this being a North Node Eclipse, what needs to be embraced, integrated and explored -- in regards to the <b>Leo</b> energy.\r\n\r\nIt\'s been 19 years since we experienced a Lunar Eclipse in this degree... Think back to Jan. 31st, 1999: What did I need to open my heart to back then? What became more clear at that time, in regards to exploring joy? Was I able to get in touch with my inner child?\r\n\r\nThis is the third Lunar Eclipse in a 23-month cycle of Eclipses, all connected to the <b>Leo/Aquarius</b> polarity; the cycle in question began in February 2017 with a Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b> and will last until Jan. 2019, ending with yet another Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b>.\r\n\r\nThink back to February of last year: What started shifting for me, in my attitudes towards the collective (or \"humanity\")? How about like-minded people? Was there likewise a shift in my desire for more joy? Self-expression? Heartfelt actions? If I think back to the last Solar Eclipse in Leo from August 21st, 2017, what has brought the possibility for more joy into my life?\r\n\r\nLife-changing revelations are more likely over the next two weeks — and with them, shifts in our consciousness — and the impact of an Eclipse\'s energy also lasts longer than a regular Lunation (anywhere from 6 months to 2 years!)\r\n\r\nI will talk about the upcoming Eclipses in more detail in my next Forecasting Forum — if you want to know how the Eclipses are going to impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up, to our own birth charts. The Forum will be live on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time); for more info or to register, <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">click here</a>: <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ</a>\r\n\r\nThis particular Eclipse focuses on authentic self-expression and creativity. Ask yourself: What might open up if I expressed myself with my heart as my center? With more courage? If I were too much in my head, what would tip me off to that? What might my world look like, if I allowed my light to shine just a little brighter?\r\n\r\nWe are also invited to allow head and heart to merge, bringing about a brighter future for humankind -- what would it look like if I allowed that merger? What if I chose, right here and now, to contribute to humanity from a courageous, heart-centered and authentic place? What if I simply chose that, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>Leo</b> represents our individual expression, the kind of light we came to shine, joy we came to spread. <b>Leo</b> is the sign of individual creativity; <b>Aquarius</b> represents the power of collaboration, where the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts. <b>Aquarius</b>, connects us to the complex patterns formed by many coming together<i>.</i>\r\n\r\nThis means it\'s important to be especially aware and responsible when connecting with others. As best as you can, get present and ask yourself: What am I bringing forth? What are my intentions? What is in my heart that longs to be expressed? Do I have the courage to stand in my authentic self-expression?\r\n\r\nIf we want to see a greater shift in the world at large (an Aquarian concern), we must each do our own part and express our unique gifts (Leo’s imperative). That said, if we don\'t come from the heart --<span style=\"color: #993300;\"> or if we get stuck in over-thinking things and/or being overly concerned with what other people are thinking -- we will not be able to fulfill on that vision.</span>\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> makes a Quincunx to Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>. </i>This might bring some internal discomfort; we need to make inner adjustments here. It nudges us to tune into our intuition, and create from a place of love rather than fear.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What if it were possible to get really in tune with my intuitive feeling body <i>and</i> express myself fully, with courage and without compromise? Might an introverted approach like that serve my extroverted, unique expression of Self? How can I transform lower vibrational feelings? For example, how might I transform fear into love? What approach might support such a transformation?\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun (ruler of Leo) in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> conjoins the South Node and Venus in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>. </i>This reminds us that each one of us has an electromagnetic field, and are an integral part of a much larger field, where our thoughts, growth, and actions interweave and affect the course of humanity. Together, we are exponentially more powerful.\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) is currently in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>. It\'s making a Square to Pluto and Mercury in </i><b><i>Capricorn.</i></b><i> </i>We are invited to be more honest with ourselves and others (especially about our fears and desires), and to pay attention to our thinking patterns, especially in regards to achieving things out there in the world.\r\n\r\nIn fact, you could say we are being invited to bring an innovative approach to who we are \"out there in the world\" -- and to our interactions with others… In other words: To step it up -- and walk our unique path. To inspire others. Life is too short to waste on things we are less than fully passionate about, that don\'t fully express our uniqueness.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What is being radically transformed in my life? Where am I being invited to confront outdated thought-forms? What\'s the relationship between my inner teenager and my inner adult?\r\n\r\nPluto represents the courage it takes to face our shadows and fears -- and if we can do that, we can discover our true motivations, desires -- and our true power. What do I get obsessed about? What scares me the most, when it comes to fully committing to things I feel passionate about?\r\n\r\nTake a look back at situations that felt disempowering -- and at situations that evoked some sort of helpless fury. When in the past have I given my power away to others, especially authority figures? Was it really about me? What did I choose in that moment?\r\n\r\n<i>Saturn (the traditional ruler of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>) currently in its own sign. </i>Here is a quote that fits really beautifully with this energy: <i>\"The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift of life is yours—it’s an amazing journey, and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. Your journey is determined by the choices you make. Your answers are determined by the questions you ask. Your destination is determined by the steps you take. Your future is determined by what you do today.\"</i> -- Dan Zadra\r\n\r\nWe are also encouraged during this Full Moon to acknowledge that we are all in this together, and that each one of us has the ability to effect change by tapping into our courage, and living our vision in every moment -- and this takes dropping into our hearts more fully.\r\n\r\nFor this <i>Full SuperBlue Moon/Lunar Eclipse</i> you could ask yourself these questions too: How might I learn about self-love? What if I chose to love the world as if it was a reflection of my heart and soul? What if I did that while expressing my unique soul-self, my unique spirit? Where do the inner and the outer experiences of love and connectedness meet?\r\n\r\nFlexibility, thinking outside the box, and self-care are critical during Eclipse season! Self-care is particularly important in times of stress and/or change — basic things, like making sure that we eat healthily and regularly, drink plenty of water, exercise, get plentiful rest -- and allow affection in from friends, family, or pets. Connecting to what feels supportive in order to stay grounded and regenerate ourselves can be very helpful as well.\r\n\r\nThere are so many more aspects we could talk about with this Lunar Eclipse chart, I\'d need an hour-and-a-half to cover it all — and that\'s just what I\'ll be doing during the 90-minute Monthly Forecasting Forum on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time)<b> </b><a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">click here to register</a>: <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ</a>) :-)\r\n\r\nThis <i>Lunar Eclipse</i> shows us that there is always work to be done -- and there\'s no need to get overwhelmed by that, because we all have the power to do it. All we have to do is look into our own heart and see the strength and love lying there. Ask yourself: Where could I be the voice? Where could I be or become the visionary? What if I accepted that I am the hero/heroine of my story? What is my role at this pivotal time?\r\n\r\nRemember: No effort is too small, no step too modest... And most important of all, perhaps: it\'s never too late to be the one who makes a difference -- especially when it comes from the heart and feels authentic!\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, trust that you have what it takes to make a difference for yourself and others. <i>And </i><a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/Lunar+Eclipse.aspx\">if you’d like to learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video</a>.\r\n\r\nA final note about Eclipses: they\'re consciousness upgrades, so for 7 - 10 days before and after one, we are usually in uncharted territory -- anything is possible and it\'s wise to expect the unexpected. Anything <i>brand-new</i> started during this time will likely not pan out the way we thought it would, often because important information comes to light only after Eclipse season is over.\r\n\r\nFor that reason, try to defer any major brand-new projects until after Feb. 25th, when this particular Eclipse season ends. That said, if something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic, allow it to “be”... Just be wary of the urge to push something forward merely to relieve anxiety or impatience.\r\n\r\nAllow for the upgrade to download, staying centered and doing your best to \"ground\" from within -- try using conscious breathing, and regard flexibility as a tool. Best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body…\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point or personal planets in 6-17 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo, Aquarius, Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s Full Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 8:39am EST,</strong><strong> </strong><i>Mercury </i><i>leaves practical, cautious, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><i>and moves into</i> <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking, objective </i><b><i>Aquarius.</i></b><b><i> </i></b>It will journey there <b>until February 17th.<i> </i></b>For the next three weeks, we tend to contradict others more quickly, and offer a different perspective. We enjoy intellectual debates. We are quicker and more alert; our powers of observation are particularly strong.\r\n\r\nWe have something interesting to say, and our perspective on issues can be delightfully unusual and surprisingly insightful. This makes for some great conversations. We are more attracted to scientific and/or metaphysical pursuits right now. Anything that promises progress and advancement for mankind has special appeal.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel a greater need for focusing on your future and any humanitarian causes. Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>?

On Thursday, Mercury enters its shadow phase and Jupiter comes to a complete halt as it starts its 4-month retrograde phase. Lastly, on Friday morning, the last Quarter Moon in Sagittarius becomes exact.\r\n\r\nThere will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Monday very early morning (for a little over 7.5 hours), Wednesday very early morning (for a little over 13 hours), and Friday late evening (for almost 7.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (March 5th):</strong> <em>The Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong> until 8:23am EST</strong>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday very early morning at 1:19am EST, </strong>we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&amp;q=https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1519834911779000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGFGZ17skEnKIsKbpcRC91A0HqnJA\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7.5 hours, <strong>until 8:23am EST</strong>. If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it to examine your one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday morning ahead of time :-)  <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 8:23am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday early evening</strong>.<b> </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 6th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b>(see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 2:34am EST</strong>, <i>Mercury changes signs from dreamy, creative</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>to enthusiastic, direct</i> <b><i>Aries. </i></b>It will journey through this courageous sign, for an unusually long time, <b>until </b><b>May 13th</b> (due to its 3-week retrograde phase that starts on March 22nd).<i> </i>During this time, our thinking speeds up, and we are eager for new endeavors.\r\n\r\nGiven that we want to achieve our goals as quickly as possible, we may come off impulsive and impatient, and must therefore speak (and get answers) faster. Nothing stands in our way now: we are ready, we are brave, we want what we want and we want it now ;-)\r\n\r\nAs you can perhaps imagine, we need to watch out for blurting things out prematurely or inappropriately; as best you can, choose your words carefully and pause before responding ;-)\r\n\r\nRemember, everyone else is feeling the Aries energy quite strongly too, so do your best to not take it personally if someone ignores what you want, or says something insensitive. Keep the focus on yourself instead -- and take responsibility for how you are communicating or expressing yourself.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel especially chatty for the next 9 weeks. Your mental energy will be quite active and you feel the need to connect to others -- whether it be in person, via email, over the phone or via social media. New ideas and new connections are very likely. </i>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel a tremendous energy burst for the next 9 weeks: really enthusiastic and physically strong.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:45pm EST, </strong><i>Venus changes signs from intuitive, creative, </i><i>dreamy </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> to fast-paced, enthusiastic, active </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>,</i><i> </i>where it will journey <strong>until March 31st. </strong>Until then, we are going to feel passionate about connecting to others. We are ready to make a new start: if you are single, this could be a great chance to start something new (all things being equal ;-)\r\n\r\nWith Venus in <strong>Aries</strong>, spontaneity and independence are important to us. You’re not the only one who likes a challenge, so don\'t make it too easy for others to win you over ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you are already in a committed relationship, you get a wonderful chance to bring freshness and excitement to your bedroom and \"other parts of the house\" ;-) We also have more energy than usual; we are more likely to want to get out of the house, and be active with others.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, beauty and love will enter your life during this time, you will feel more attractive and you will attract things to you. As a </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i>, you will feel more energized, passionate and more direct than usual.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 7th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><strong><b><i>Scorpio</i></b></strong><strong> until 5:03pm EST</strong> (see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 3:55am EST</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 13 hours, <strong>until 5:03pm EST</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with others on a deep emotional level, and explore greater truths about your ability to make those authentic connections.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday morning and afternoon ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon conjuncts Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 5:03pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i>, </b>where it will journey<i> <strong>until Saturday early morning</strong></i><b>. </b>We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things. This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Friday morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 8th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b></strong> (see Wednesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday around 11pm EST, </strong><i>Mercury enters a 3-week shadow phase</i><i>, as it reaches 4 degrees and 47 minutes of </i><b><i>Aries. </i></b>This precedes the retrograde phase, which will begin on March 22nd in almost 17 degrees of <b>Aries</b> (more on that in 3 weeks).\r\n\r\nSo what is the \"shadow phase\"? To explain this, I\'ll quickly cover what happens when a planet \"stations\" and then goes \"retrograde\".\r\n\r\nRelative to us on Earth, a planet sometimes looks like it is slowing down (\"stationing\"), then stopping. After being still for a while, it actually appears to go \"backward\" through the sky (this is the \"retrograde\" phase). It\'s a little like catching up to a car on the highway, driving exactly alongside it for a moment, then passing it and pulling ahead.\r\n\r\nAt first, retrograde movement is slow, but the planet gradually reaches its normal pace through the sky -- except it\'s going backward. The process then reverses itself: the backward pace slows, the planet crawls to a \"halt\", then it starts to move forward again (i.e. it goes direct). In our car analogy, it\'s like the car you just passed gradually speeds up and passes you again.\r\n\r\nThere are also two \"shadow\" phases -- during these, the planet travels over a part of the sky it will later \"revisit\". The first \"shadow\" comes before the planet moves backward; the second comes when the planet starts to catch back up (after going direct).\r\n\r\nIt\'s like you went hiking and left something behind at camp. If you went back to get it, you\'d have some catching up to do, and would see the same scenery twice or more.\r\n\r\nMercury\'s shadow phases usually last 2-3 weeks before and after the Retrograde phase.\r\n\r\nIf you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items -- especially connected to transportation (cars, airline tickets, etc.) or communication devices (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) -- be aware of the shadow periods as well as the retrograde phases. If possible, get these things done before Mercury enters it\'s shadow or wait until after the shadow phases are over -- that would be <strong>May 3rd</strong> in this case ;-)\r\n\r\nOf course, if there is something that <i>must</i> get done during these phases, don\'t put your whole life on hold, just because Mercury is retrograde or in it\'s shadow. Sometimes things line up exactly at the right time; as best as you can, trust that it\'s all \"perfect\" ;-)\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Thursday late evening, at 11:45pm EST, </strong><i>Jupiter comes to a halt </i>at 23 degrees of <strong>Scorpio</strong>,<b> </b>starting its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. The retrograde phases are inner processes -- they help us connect to a particular energy internally, and thus express it externally (once Jupiter goes direct again). Jupiter retrograde brings a chance to tap inner wisdom, optimism and sense of possibility, and an inner understanding of how the world works. This retrograde phase lasts <b>until July 10th.</b>\r\n\r\nDuring this time, we get to choose what we truly believe -- which beliefs serve us and which don\'t -- and we can more easily let go of limiting beliefs and experience new truths. While retrograde in <strong>Scorpio</strong> -- here are some coaching questions<span style=\"color: #993300;\">: </span>\r\n\r\nWhat do I believe about my intimate partnerships? About empowerment? Disempowerment? Deep authentic connections? Where am I making assumptions that do not serve me? What might be holding me back?\r\n\r\nThe connection to inner wisdom is heightened. Ask yourself: What do I “just know”? If the answer is “I don’t know”, ask yourself “What if I did know? What mighty it be in that case?”\r\n\r\nFeel free to <a href=\"https://youtu.be/JtMJiPnnZWc\">check out my 30-minute excerpt</a> from my webinar about the Jupiter and Mercury Station and Retrograde phases in March: https://youtu.be/JtMJiPnnZWc\r\n\r\nAnd if you want to know how that will impact you personally, feel free to buy the whole 90+ min. webinar on the subject --  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a><span style=\"color: #993300;\"> </span>-- we talked about what to expect for the next 4 weeks, and how it all applies to our own birth charts ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> 12-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this retrograde phase. This is also true for those of us who have our</i><i> Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter rules Sagittarius, so Sagittarius will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (March 9th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b> </strong>(see Wednesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 6:20am EST, </strong><i>the last Quarter Moon in almost 19 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b> will be exact.<b> </b>The Moon in adventurous, truth-seeking <b>Sagittarius</b> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in sensitive, dreamy, compassionate<b> Pisces. </b>This may bring up some challenges. However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to March 17th\'s New Moon in <strong>Pisces</strong>. We are thus best served by reviewing projects begun since the last New Moon in mid February (which was also a Solar Eclipse).\r\n\r\nWhat -- if anything -- needs adjustments? What did you discover since Feb. 15th? What did it mean for you? As best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-21 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Gemini</i></b><i>, <b>Pisces, </b>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s last Quarter Moon.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 9:27pm EST</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for almost 7.5 hours, <strong>until at 4:52am EST (Saturday early morning)</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self — explore, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday night <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">and Saturday early morning</span> ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon trines Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 10th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b></strong>and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><strong> until 4:52am EST </strong>(see Wednesday late afternoon and Friday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 4:52am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Monday morning (March 12th)</strong><b>. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 11th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</i><b><i> Capricorn </i>all day </b>(see Saturday early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning, </strong><em>a challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:00am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">next week</span> Tuesday (March 13th). </strong>This aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature. Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce. Ask yourself: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to the details, while remaining committed to the exploration of your true beliefs. What is life really about? What is <i>your</i> life about?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn,  Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

You may also want to plan Monday morning ahead of time :-)  <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 8:23am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday early evening</strong>.<b> </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 6th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b>(see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 2:34am EST</strong>, <i>Mercury changes signs from dreamy, creative</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>to enthusiastic, direct</i> <b><i>Aries. </i></b>It will journey through this courageous sign, for an unusually long time, <b>until </b><b>May 13th</b> (due to its 3-week retrograde phase that starts on March 22nd).<i> </i>During this time, our thinking speeds up, and we are eager for new endeavors.\r\n\r\nGiven that we want to achieve our goals as quickly as possible, we may come off impulsive and impatient, and must therefore speak (and get answers) faster. Nothing stands in our way now: we are ready, we are brave, we want what we want and we want it now ;-)\r\n\r\nAs you can perhaps imagine, we need to watch out for blurting things out prematurely or inappropriately; as best you can, choose your words carefully and pause before responding ;-)\r\n\r\nRemember, everyone else is feeling the Aries energy quite strongly too, so do your best to not take it personally if someone ignores what you want, or says something insensitive. Keep the focus on yourself instead -- and take responsibility for how you are communicating or expressing yourself.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel especially chatty for the next 9 weeks. Your mental energy will be quite active and you feel the need to connect to others -- whether it be in person, via email, over the phone or via social media. New ideas and new connections are very likely. </i>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel a tremendous energy burst for the next 9 weeks: really enthusiastic and physically strong.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:45pm EST, </strong><i>Venus changes signs from intuitive, creative, </i><i>dreamy </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> to fast-paced, enthusiastic, active </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>,</i><i> </i>where it will journey <strong>until March 31st. </strong>Until then, we are going to feel passionate about connecting to others. We are ready to make a new start: if you are single, this could be a great chance to start something new (all things being equal ;-)\r\n\r\nWith Venus in <strong>Aries</strong>, spontaneity and independence are important to us. You’re not the only one who likes a challenge, so don\'t make it too easy for others to win you over ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you are already in a committed relationship, you get a wonderful chance to bring freshness and excitement to your bedroom and \"other parts of the house\" ;-) We also have more energy than usual; we are more likely to want to get out of the house, and be active with others.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, beauty and love will enter your life during this time, you will feel more attractive and you will attract things to you. As a </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i>, you will feel more energized, passionate and more direct than usual.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 7th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><strong><b><i>Scorpio</i></b></strong><strong> until 5:03pm EST</strong> (see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 3:55am EST</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 13 hours, <strong>until 5:03pm EST</strong>. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">Use this intuitive time</span> <span style=\"color: #993300;\">to connect with others on a deep emotional level, and explore greater truths about your ability to authentically connect with another.</span>\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday morning and afternoon ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon conjuncts Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 5:03pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i>, </b>where it will journey<i> <strong>until Saturday early morning</strong></i><b>. </b>We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things. This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Friday morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 8th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b></strong> (see Wednesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday around 11pm EST, </strong><i>Mercury enters a 3-week shadow phase</i><i>, as it reaches 4 degrees and 47 minutes of </i><b><i>Aries. </i></b>This precedes the retrograde phase, which will begin on March 22nd in almost 17 degrees of <b>Aries</b> (more on that in 3 weeks).\r\n\r\nSo what is the \"shadow phase\"? To explain this, I\'ll quickly cover what happens when a planet \"stations\" and then goes \"retrograde\".\r\n\r\nRelative to us on Earth, a planet sometimes looks like it is slowing down (\"stationing\"), then stopping. After being still for a while, it actually appears to go \"backward\" through the sky (this is the \"retrograde\" phase). It\'s a little like catching up to a car on the highway, driving exactly alongside it for a moment, then passing it and pulling ahead.\r\n\r\nAt first, retrograde movement is slow, but the planet gradually reaches its normal pace through the sky -- except it\'s going backward. The process then reverses itself: the backward pace slows, the planet crawls to a \"halt\", then it starts to move forward again (i.e. it goes direct). In our car analogy, it\'s like the car you just passed gradually speeds up and passes you again.\r\n\r\nThere are also two \"shadow\" phases -- during these, the planet travels over a part of the sky it will later \"revisit\". The first \"shadow\" comes before the planet moves backward; the second comes when the planet starts to catch back up (after going direct).\r\n\r\nIt\'s like you went hiking and left something behind at camp. If you went back to get it, you\'d have some catching up to do, and would see the same scenery twice or more.\r\n\r\nMercury\'s shadow phases usually last 2-3 weeks before and after the Retrograde phase.\r\n\r\nIf you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items -- especially connected to transportation (cars, airline tickets, etc.) or communication devices (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) -- be aware of the shadow periods as well as the retrograde phases. If possible, get these things done before Mercury enters it\'s shadow or wait until after the shadow phases are over -- that would be <strong>May 3rd</strong> in this case ;-)\r\n\r\nOf course, if there is something that <i>must</i> get done during these phases, don\'t put your whole life on hold, just because Mercury is retrograde or in it\'s shadow. Sometimes things line up exactly at the right time; as best as you can, trust that it\'s all \"perfect\" ;-)\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Thursday late evening, at 11:45pm EST, </strong><i>Jupiter comes to a halt </i>at 23 degrees of <strong>Scorpio</strong>,<b> </b>starting its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. The retrograde phases are inner processes -- they help us connect to a particular energy internally, and thus express it externally (once Jupiter goes direct again). Jupiter retrograde brings a chance to tap inner wisdom, optimism and sense of possibility, and an inner understanding of how the world works. This retrograde phase lasts <b>until July 10th.</b>\r\n\r\nDuring this time, we get to choose what we truly believe -- which beliefs serve us and which don\'t -- and we can more easily let go of limiting beliefs and experience new truths. While retrograde in <strong>Scorpio</strong>, <span style=\"color: #993300;\">Jupiter pointedly invites us to take a look at our intimate relationships, our attitudes around empowerment or disempowerment, and a deep authentic, emotional connection with ourselves and others. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">What do I believe about my intimate partnerships? About empowerment? Disempowerment? Deep authentic connections? Where am I making assumptions that do not serve me? What might be holding me back? </span>\r\n\r\nThe connection to inner wisdom is heightened. Ask yourself: What do I “just know”? If the answer is “I don’t know”, ask yourself “What if I did know? What mighty it be in that case?”\r\n\r\nFeel free to <span style=\"color: #993300;\">check out my 30-minute excerpt</span> from my webinar about the Jupiter and Mercury Station and Retrograde phases in March: <span style=\"color: #993300;\">https://…</span>\r\n\r\nAnd if you want to know how that will impact you personally, feel free to buy the whole 90+ min. webinar on the subject --  <span style=\"color: #993300;\">click here: http://</span> -- we talked about what to expect for the next 4 weeks, and how it all applies to our own birth charts ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> 12-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this retrograde phase. This is also true for those of us who have our</i><i> Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter rules Sagittarius, so Sagittarius will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (March 9th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b> </strong>(see Wednesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 6:20am EST, </strong><i>the last Quarter Moon in almost 19 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b> will be exact.<b> </b>The Moon in adventurous, truth-seeking <b>Sagittarius</b> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in sensitive, dreamy, compassionate<b> Pisces. </b>This may bring up some challenges. However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to March 17th\'s New Moon in <strong>Pisces</strong>. We are thus best served by reviewing projects begun since the last New Moon in mid February (which was also a Solar Eclipse).\r\n\r\nWhat -- if anything -- needs adjustments? What did you discover since Feb. 15th? What did it mean for you? As best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-21 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Gemini</i></b><i>, <b>Pisces, </b>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s last Quarter Moon.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 9:27pm EST</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for almost 7.5 hours, <strong>until at 4:52am EST (Saturday early morning)</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self — explore, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday night <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">and Saturday early morning</span> ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon trines Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 10th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b></strong>and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><strong> until 4:52am EST </strong>(see Wednesday late afternoon and Friday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 4:52am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Monday morning (March 12th)</strong><b>. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 11th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</i><b><i> Capricorn </i>all day </b>(see Saturday early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning, </strong><em>a challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:00am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">next week</span> Tuesday (March 13th). </strong>This aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature. Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">On the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a direct, fast and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long something takes to manifest and slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce. Ask yourself: How long is what I am building long-term going to last? What are the consequences when I am trying to rush or skip over some steps? </span>\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to the details, while remaining committed to the exploration of your true beliefs.

With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, otherwise you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<b><strong>Monday late</strong> morning</b>, we are in a state of “flow” and emotional connection to others; spiritual and creative endeavors are favored. <span style=\"color: #800000;\">(<i>Moon in </i><b><i>Cancer </i></b><i>trines Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> <em>at 10:19am EST.</em> -- post at 8:30am EST)</i></span><i></i>\r\n\r\n<b><strong>Monday early afternoon, </strong></b>requires some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice. Making this choice demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to connect to like-minded people that share our vision — and on the other hand, the need to nurture ourselves and stay in touch with our feeling body. <span style=\"color: #800000;\">(<em>Moon in <strong>Cancer </strong>quincunxes Venus in <strong>Aquarius</strong> at 1:30pm EST -- post at 12pm EST)</em></span>\r\n\r\n<b><strong>Monday </strong>late evening</b><b>,</b> we may take an all-or-northing attitude toward others; this could drive some tension or oppositional behaviors...

You may also want to plan late morning and early afternoon ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">(Moon opposes Mercury in <strong>Capricorn</strong>)</span></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 1:53pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Thursday afternoon</strong><b>. </b>We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the Lunar Eclipse</i> -- a very powerful Full Moon (exact on Wednesday morning).\r\n\r\nWe all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-) So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can.\r\n\r\nFun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (January 31st): </strong><i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><strong>all day </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday morning, at 8:27am EST: </b><i>the Moon opposes the Sun</i> <i>in 11.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo</i></b> -- <em>a very powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse</em> becomes exact. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered <em>Leo</em> Tuesday at 1:53pm EST. </strong>\r\n\r\nOnce every six months, the Sun, Moon, and Earth finally align precisely enough for a Solar or Lunar Eclipse to occur; Eclipses are always powerfully connected to the Moon Nodes and thus to our Soul\'s Journey. <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/Lunar+Eclipse.aspx\">If you’d like to learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video</a>.\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon is <i>the first of two Eclipses within the next four weeks and it\'s extra-powerful -- firstly</i><i>, because it\'s</i> a <i>SuperMoon -- </i>these occur when the Moon is either Full or New, while at its closest distance to the Earth; they are therefore more powerful. This often means an increase in emotional reactions, plus greater awareness around the issues connected to the particular Full Moon energy in question.\r\n\r\nSecondly, as the second Full Moon of this calendar month, it is also a \"<i>Blue Moon\" -- so </i>I think we can go ahead and call it a SuperBlue Moon :-)\r\n\r\nGiven that our SuperBlue Full Moon is happening in the <b>Leo</b>/<b>Aquarius</b> polarity, there\'s extra emphasis on increasing awareness of our mind\'s activities, and on opening our heart chakras. As we do this, we can open more to joy, and be more playful.\r\n\r\nLunar Eclipses generally direct our attention to our \"emotional body” and our relationships; they also connect us more fully to our Soul’s journey (as shown by the Moon Nodes). This particular Eclipse focuses on the relationship between the individual (<b>Leo</b>) and the collective (<b>Aquarius</b>).\r\n\r\nWe become aware of what has been suppressed or ignored -- or, this being a North Node Eclipse, what needs to be embraced, integrated and explored -- in regards to the <b>Leo</b> energy.\r\n\r\nIt\'s been 19 years since we experienced a Lunar Eclipse in this degree... Think back to Jan. 31st, 1999: What did I need to open my heart to back then? What became more clear at that time, in regards to exploring joy? Was I able to get in touch with my inner child?\r\n\r\nThis is the third Lunar Eclipse in a 23-month cycle of Eclipses, all connected to the <b>Leo/Aquarius</b> polarity; the cycle in question began in February 2017 with a Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b> and will last until Jan. 2019, ending with yet another Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b>.\r\n\r\nThink back to February of last year: What started shifting for me, in my attitudes towards the collective (or \"humanity\")? How about like-minded people? Was there likewise a shift in my desire for more joy? Self-expression? Heartfelt actions? If I think back to the last Solar Eclipse in Leo from August 21st, 2017, what has brought the possibility for more joy into my life?\r\n\r\nLife-changing revelations are more likely over the next two weeks — and with them, shifts in our consciousness — and the impact of an Eclipse\'s energy also lasts longer than a regular Lunation (anywhere from 6 months to 2 years!)\r\n\r\nI will talk about the upcoming Eclipses in more detail in my next Forecasting Forum — if you want to know how the Eclipses are going to impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up, to our own birth charts. The Forum will be live on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time); for more info or to register, <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">click here</a>: <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ</a>\r\n\r\nThis particular Eclipse focuses on authentic self-expression and creativity. Ask yourself: What might open up if I expressed myself with my heart as my center? With more courage? If I were too much in my head, what would tip me off to that? What might my world look like, if I allowed my light to shine just a little brighter?\r\n\r\nWe are also invited to allow head and heart to merge, bringing about a brighter future for humankind -- what would it look like if I allowed that merger? What if I chose, right here and now, to contribute to humanity from a courageous, heart-centered and authentic place? What if I simply chose that, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>Leo</b> represents our individual expression, the kind of light we came to shine, joy we came to spread. <b>Leo</b> is the sign of individual creativity; <b>Aquarius</b> represents the power of collaboration, where the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts. <b>Aquarius</b>, connects us to the complex patterns formed by many coming together<i>.</i>\r\n\r\nThis means it\'s important to be especially aware and responsible when connecting with others. As best as you can, get present and ask yourself: What am I bringing forth? What are my intentions? What is in my heart that longs to be expressed? Do I have the courage to stand in my authentic self-expression?\r\n\r\nIf we want to see a greater shift in the world at large (an Aquarian concern), we must each do our own part and express our unique gifts (Leo’s imperative). That said, if we don\'t come from the heart --<span style=\"color: #993300;\"> or if we get stuck in over-thinking things and/or being overly concerned with what other people are thinking -- we will not be able to fulfill on that vision.</span>\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> makes a Quincunx to Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>. </i>This might bring some internal discomfort; we need to make inner adjustments here. It nudges us to tune into our intuition, and create from a place of love rather than fear.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What if it were possible to get really in tune with my intuitive feeling body <i>and</i> express myself fully, with courage and without compromise? Might an introverted approach like that serve my extroverted, unique expression of Self? How can I transform lower vibrational feelings? For example, how might I transform fear into love? What approach might support such a transformation?\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun (ruler of Leo) in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> conjoins the South Node and Venus in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>. </i>This reminds us that each one of us has an electromagnetic field, and are an integral part of a much larger field, where our thoughts, growth, and actions interweave and affect the course of humanity. Together, we are exponentially more powerful.\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) is currently in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>. It\'s making a Square to Pluto and Mercury in </i><b><i>Capricorn.</i></b><i> </i>We are invited to be more honest with ourselves and others (especially about our fears and desires), and to pay attention to our thinking patterns, especially in regards to achieving things out there in the world.\r\n\r\nIn fact, you could say we are being invited to bring an innovative approach to who we are \"out there in the world\" -- and to our interactions with others… In other words: To step it up -- and walk our unique path. To inspire others. Life is too short to waste on things we are less than fully passionate about, that don\'t fully express our uniqueness.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What is being radically transformed in my life? Where am I being invited to confront outdated thought-forms? What\'s the relationship between my inner teenager and my inner adult?\r\n\r\nPluto represents the courage it takes to face our shadows and fears -- and if we can do that, we can discover our true motivations, desires -- and our true power. What do I get obsessed about? What scares me the most, when it comes to fully committing to things I feel passionate about?\r\n\r\nTake a look back at situations that felt disempowering -- and at situations that evoked some sort of helpless fury. When in the past have I given my power away to others, especially authority figures? Was it really about me? What did I choose in that moment?\r\n\r\n<i>Saturn (the traditional ruler of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>) currently in its own sign. </i>Here is a quote that fits really beautifully with this energy: <i>\"The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift of life is yours—it’s an amazing journey, and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. Your journey is determined by the choices you make. Your answers are determined by the questions you ask. Your destination is determined by the steps you take. Your future is determined by what you do today.\"</i> -- Dan Zadra\r\n\r\nWe are also encouraged during this Full Moon to acknowledge that we are all in this together, and that each one of us has the ability to effect change by tapping into our courage, and living our vision in every moment -- and this takes dropping into our hearts more fully.\r\n\r\nFor this <i>Full SuperBlue Moon/Lunar Eclipse</i> you could ask yourself these questions too: How might I learn about self-love? What if I chose to love the world as if it was a reflection of my heart and soul? What if I did that while expressing my unique soul-self, my unique spirit? Where do the inner and the outer experiences of love and connectedness meet?\r\n\r\nFlexibility, thinking outside the box, and self-care are critical during Eclipse season! Self-care is particularly important in times of stress and/or change — basic things, like making sure that we eat healthily and regularly, drink plenty of water, exercise, get plentiful rest -- and allow affection in from friends, family, or pets. Connecting to what feels supportive in order to stay grounded and regenerate ourselves can be very helpful as well.\r\n\r\nThere are so many more aspects we could talk about with this Lunar Eclipse chart, I\'d need an hour-and-a-half to cover it all — and that\'s just what I\'ll be doing during the 90-minute Monthly Forecasting Forum on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time)<b> </b><a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">click here to register</a>: <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ</a>) :-)\r\n\r\nThis <i>Lunar Eclipse</i> shows us that there is always work to be done -- and there\'s no need to get overwhelmed by that, because we all have the power to do it. All we have to do is look into our own heart and see the strength and love lying there. Ask yourself: Where could I be the voice? Where could I be or become the visionary? What if I accepted that I am the hero/heroine of my story? What is my role at this pivotal time?\r\n\r\nRemember: No effort is too small, no step too modest... And most important of all, perhaps: it\'s never too late to be the one who makes a difference -- especially when it comes from the heart and feels authentic!\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, trust that you have what it takes to make a difference for yourself and others. <i>And </i><a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/Lunar+Eclipse.aspx\">if you’d like to learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video</a>.\r\n\r\nA final note about Eclipses: they\'re consciousness upgrades, so for 7 - 10 days before and after one, we are usually in uncharted territory -- anything is possible and it\'s wise to expect the unexpected. Anything <i>brand-new</i> started during this time will likely not pan out the way we thought it would, often because important information comes to light only after Eclipse season is over.\r\n\r\nFor that reason, try to defer any major brand-new projects until after Feb. 25th, when this particular Eclipse season ends. That said, if something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic, allow it to “be”... Just be wary of the urge to push something forward merely to relieve anxiety or impatience.\r\n\r\nAllow for the upgrade to download, staying centered and doing your best to \"ground\" from within -- try using conscious breathing, and regard flexibility as a tool. Best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body…\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point or personal planets in 6-17 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo, Aquarius, Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s Full Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 8:39am EST,</strong><strong> </strong><i>Mercury </i><i>leaves practical, cautious, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><i>and moves into</i> <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking, objective </i><b><i>Aquarius.</i></b><b><i> </i></b>It will journey there <b>until February 17th.<i> </i></b>For the next three weeks, we tend to contradict others more quickly, and offer a different perspective. We enjoy intellectual debates. We are quicker and more alert; our powers of observation are particularly strong.\r\n\r\nWe have something interesting to say, and our perspective on issues can be delightfully unusual and surprisingly insightful. This makes for some great conversations. We are more attracted to scientific and/or metaphysical pursuits right now. Anything that promises progress and advancement for mankind has special appeal.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel a greater need for focusing on your future and any humanitarian causes. Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>?

In fact, on an energetic level there is no separation, everything is interconnected -- we need both left- and right-brain (the logical and the creative)</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-5813469\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-5813471\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">The mind acts like a filtering mechanism that helps us to focus and function more efficiently -- but in doing so, it also has to greatly narrow our view and understanding of the world. Ask yourself: What is my mind seeking to change or improve? What does my heart want to open to? What might come through if my heart and mind worked together in unison?</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-5813472\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-5813474\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"><b>Virgo</b> analyzes. <b>Pisces</b> feels. Virgo seeks physical wholeness, Pisces reminds us of an even greater wholeness -- our interconnectedness with all of life. Virgo benefits from apprenticeship, while Pisces learns to trust inner guidance above all else; when balanced, we are able to discern without judgment, serve without obligation, and love all of creation (including ourselves).</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-5813475\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-5813477\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"><b>Virgo’s</b> primary spiritual lesson is discernment. Its shadow side is self-deprecation and judgment, which labels things in terms of \"good or bad\", rather than \"useful or unproductive\", \"works or doesn\'t work\", etc. </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-5813478\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-5813480\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">Judgement of this sort can even be regarded as a subtle form of violence -- it creates separation from others and a split within ourselves. It closes our heart and limits our ability to learn. It keeps us stuck in duality, where we defend our position or attack others.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-5813481\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-5813483\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">You could say that <b>Pisces</b> is an antidote to judgment. In its highest expression, it understands that we are all souls in various states of development, with different paths in the world -- we are all love at our core, and everything is ultimately an expression or variation of love. </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-5813484\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-5813486\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">The shadow side of <b>Pisces</b> is a lack of boundaries, escapism of various sorts, even victimization. The remedy lies in the higher vibrations of <b>Virgo</b>: the ability to focus on details, make practical choices, and make the best use of our daily engagements. When integrated, we marry a sharp mind with a wise and loving heart. </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-5813487\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-5813489\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">Ask yourself: Does my inner dialog serve as a support or a distraction?

Love is the most powerful healing force there is, so as best as you can, harness the energy of love, compassion, gratitude and forgiveness!

We are invited to allow for the flow of things… Just like the tides, just like our breath, we are invited to allow for feelings/thoughts/sensations to move in, and move out again. When we are scared, we hold tension, and things can not flow.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-5813550\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-5813552\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">Ask yourself: What might be possible for myself, if I transformed fearful reactions or judgments into compassionate observation of what is, allowing it to be, giving it permission to move through? What if the greatest gift I could give myself was the liberation of my heart-energies and the shift from separation to the experience of oneness? </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-5813553\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-5813555\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"><b>For the next two weeks</b>, as best as you can, trust yourself.

Bring what you learn from this journey to the world, to others\n\nThe German astrologer Eva Stangenberg makes the following summary of these various themes of Chiron:\n\n<em>\"Chiron\'s position in the natal chart shows us where we experience a division between the material and the spiritual world, a wounding. However, it also represents our greatest chance to overcome it and become whole. And with the spiritual insight of Uranus we can recognize the unity of body and soul not only in ourselves but in everything that exists... Chiron is not about achieving mastery through diligence and hard work as is the case with Saturn, or by releasing the energy bound to traumatic experiences as is the case with Pluto, but simply by accepting the deficit of not being \"whole\"... Only through our experiences with this feeling and the acceptance of not being \"whole\" can we begin to understand this problem in others... We share with others our compassion, our understanding, our experiences, and by doing this we can help them. This doesn\'t entail sacrificing something which makes us \"poorer\", on the contrary, we\"achieve\" a connection, create a wholeness where before there was division.\"</em>\n\nLook at the house placement and at the ruler of Chiron\'s sign placement in your chart (and it\'s aspects).\n\n<strong>Home assignment: </strong>Investigate Chiron in your own chart using the Keywords from the work sheet. Look at Chiron and the house it occupies, (aspects from other planets to Chiron), as well as the planetary rulers of Chiron by house, sign (and aspect).\n\n<strong>Books I recommend</strong> for understanding the Moon Nodes <em>and</em> Chiron more fully:\n\nAstrology for the Soul by Jan Spiller\n\nChiron, Healing Body &amp; Soul by Martin Lass\n<h3><strong>More Course Materials:</strong></h3>\nAlways feel free to give me your Feedback.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly?\n\nOur Soul\'s purpose, our deepest passion by house and sign, and by the house that has Scorpio on its cusp. Look at the house and sign opposite Pluto\'s placement in your chart, develop that energy and work with that area of your life, so you can feel fully empowered and step into your Soul\'s Purpose\n\nWhat would it look like, if you were fully aligned with your Soul-purpose? How would it feel?\n\nAgain, look at the house placement of Pluto and at the ruler of Pluto’s sign in your natal chart (optional: its aspects). Look at the Houses ruled by Pluto.Look at the opposite sign and house of Pluto’s position in your chart.\n\n<strong>Home assignment: </strong>Investigate Pluto in your own chart, using the Keywords from the work sheet.\n<ul>\n 	<li>Look at Pluto and the house it occupies, (optional: aspects from other planets to Pluto)</li>\n 	<li>Look at the sign Pluto is in and its planetary ruler by house and sign (optional: include aspect).</li>\n 	<li>Look at the House ruled by Pluto in your natal chart.</li>\n 	<li>Look at the opposite sign and house of Pluto’s position in your chart.</li>\n</ul>\n<strong>Reading list:</strong>\n<ul>\n 	<li>A Spiritual Approach to Astrology by MyrnaLofthus</li>\n 	<li>An Astrological Guide to Self-Awareness by Donna Cunnigham</li>\n 	<li>Aspects and Personality by Karen Hamaker-Zondak</li>\n 	<li>Astrological Insight into Personality by Betty Lundsted</li>\n 	<li>The Inner Sky by Steve Forrest</li>\n 	<li>The Rulership Book by Rex E.

Draw a red circle around any Squares, Oppositions and Inconjuncts, blue around any Trines, green around Sextiles. Look at the balance or imbalance between challenging and supportive aspects.\r\n\r\n<strong>Step Five:</strong>On the chart wheel itself, mark only the very tight aspects with the same colors. Also, circle any conjunctions green, start with conjunctions to the angles.\r\n\r\n<strong>Step Six:</strong> Look for T-squares, Grand Crosses or Yods. Mark them by circling the focus planet red, if there is a T-Square, mark the opposite side of the focus planet (the resolution point) with a red cross; look for Grand Trines, mark blue.\r\n\r\n<strong>Step Seven:</strong> Look to see if there is a Sole Dispositor or a Mutual Reception, mark that or write it down.Look for planets in their own signs and planets in their own houses, mark them or write them down\r\n\r\n<strong>Step Eight:</strong> Look at the Moon Nodes by sign and house (and their rulers), mark them purple\r\n\r\n<strong>Step Nine: </strong>Look at intercepted houses, mark them and see which signs occupy two house cusps, mark those as well. If an intercepted house is inside the 1<sup>st</sup> or 10<sup>th</sup> house, mark their rulers as well, as they become co-rulers of the Ascendantor the MC\r\n\r\n<strong>Step Ten:</strong> Look at any planets that are in 0 or 29 degrees of their sign, mark them and write them down; circle any retrograde plants in the chart (except for the Moon Nodes)\r\n\r\n<strong>Home assignment: </strong>\r\n\r\nA)take another birth chart from a friend or relative, or\r\n\r\nB)work on our next practice chart.\r\n\r\nFollow steps 1-10.

I was quite aware of my obsessive thinking -- I had to give myself lots of permission to allow thoughts to move through awareness, then release them as much as possible -- and this helped me get centered in love again rather than fear. I did my best to live from a place of  \"all is well\" and \"there is no-one to blame\"; this served all my interactions -- especially the ones with myself ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement: </strong>\r\n\r\nLast chance to sign up for my MONTHLY FORECASTING FORUM, this on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at </b>11am PST/<b>2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time).<b> Please note that we have a Lunar Eclipse in Leo this week, and a Solar Eclipse in Aquarius coming up in mid February!</b>\r\n\r\nIf you want to align yourself with these powerful, evolutionary Lunations and further your Soul\'s journey, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation.\r\n\r\nOther than <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/readings/\">booking a reading</a> with me, this is the highest level of support you can get -- and it\'s <strong>still only $24</strong> for the 90+ minute webinar. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\"><b>To register now, click here </b></a>\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: On Wednesday morning, a powerful Full-Super-Blue-Moon/Lunar Eclipse becomes exact on Wednesday morning and Mercury changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius.\r\n\r\nThere will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Tuesday late morning (for a little over 2 hours), Thursday early morning (for a little over 8 hours), and Friday night/Saturday very early morning (for a little over 14.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (January 29th):</strong><em> the Moon remains in <i>protective, nurturing </i><strong>Cancer </strong></em><strong>all day.</strong> It will journey there <b>until Tuesday late evening</b>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, otherwise you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<b><strong>Monday late</strong> morning</b>, we are in a state of “flow” and emotional connection to others; spiritual and creative endeavors are favored. <i></i>\r\n\r\n<b><strong>Monday early afternoon </strong></b>requires some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice, one that demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to connect to like-minded people that share our vision — and on the other hand, the need to nurture ourselves and stay in touch with our feeling body.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late evening</strong>, we may take an all-or-northing attitude toward others; this could drive some tension or oppositional behaviors... As best you can, remain flexible and practice self-care — take good care of your emotional and physical body -- that way, you\'ll remain able to empower yourself and others.<!--more-->\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (January 30th): </strong><em>the Moon remains in <i>protective, nurturing </i><strong>Cancer</strong></em><strong><em> </em>until 1:53pm EST (</strong>see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 11:40am EST, </strong>we enter a <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 2 hours, <strong>until 1:53pm EST.</strong> </span>Use this intuitive time to find balance between nurturing and self-care, versus achieving your goals. As always during VoC, take it easy -- go with the flow and avoid starting anything brand-new.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan late morning and early afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 1:53pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Thursday afternoon</strong><b>. </b>We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the Lunar Eclipse</i> -- a very powerful Full Moon (exact on Wednesday morning).\r\n\r\nWe all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-) So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can.\r\n\r\nFun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (January 31st): </strong><i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><strong>all day </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday morning, at 8:27am EST: </b><i>the Moon opposes the Sun</i> <i>in 11.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo</i></b> -- <em>a very powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse</em> becomes exact. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered <em>Leo</em> Tuesday at 1:53pm EST. </strong>\r\n\r\nOnce every six months, the Sun, Moon, and Earth finally align precisely enough for a Solar or Lunar Eclipse to occur; Eclipses are always powerfully connected to the Moon Nodes and thus to our Soul\'s Journey. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/powerful-full-supermoon-lunar-eclipse-in-leo-jan-feb-2018/\">If you’d like to learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video</a>.\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon is <i>the first of two Eclipses within the next four weeks and it\'s extra-powerful -- firstly</i><i>, because it\'s</i> a <i>SuperMoon -- </i>these occur when the Moon is either Full or New, while at its closest distance to the Earth; they are therefore more powerful. This often means an increase in emotional reactions, plus greater awareness around the issues connected to the particular Full Moon energy in question.\r\n\r\nSecondly, as the second Full Moon of this calendar month, it is also a \"<i>Blue Moon\" -- so </i>I think we can go ahead and call it a SuperBlue Moon :-)\r\n\r\nGiven that our SuperBlue Full Moon is happening in the <b>Leo</b>/<b>Aquarius</b> polarity, there\'s extra emphasis on increasing awareness of our mind\'s activities, and on opening our heart chakras. As we do this, we can open more to joy, and be more playful.\r\n\r\nLunar Eclipses generally direct our attention to our \"emotional body” and our relationships; they also connect us more fully to our Soul’s journey (as shown by the Moon Nodes). This particular Eclipse focuses on the relationship between the individual (<b>Leo</b>) and the collective (<b>Aquarius</b>).\r\n\r\nWe become aware of what has been suppressed or ignored -- or, this being a North Node Eclipse, what needs to be embraced, integrated and explored -- in regards to the <b>Leo</b> energy.\r\n\r\nIt\'s been 19 years since we experienced a Lunar Eclipse in this degree... Think back to Jan. 31st, 1999: What did I need to open my heart to back then? What became more clear at that time, in regards to exploring joy? Was I able to get in touch with my inner child?\r\n\r\nThis is the third Lunar Eclipse in a 23-month cycle of Eclipses, all connected to the <b>Leo/Aquarius</b> polarity; the cycle in question began in February 2017 with a Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b> and will last until Jan. 2019, ending with yet another Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b>.\r\n\r\nThink back to February of last year: What started shifting for me, in my attitudes towards the collective (or \"humanity\")? How about like-minded people? Was there likewise a shift in my desire for more joy? Self-expression? Heartfelt actions? If I think back to the last Solar Eclipse in Leo from August 21st, 2017, what has brought the possibility for more joy into my life?\r\n\r\nLife-changing revelations are more likely over the next two weeks — and with them, shifts in our consciousness — and the impact of an Eclipse\'s energy also lasts longer than a regular Lunation (anywhere from 6 months to 2 years!)\r\n\r\nI will talk about the upcoming Eclipses in more detail in my next Forecasting Forum — if you want to know how the Eclipses are going to impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up, to our own birth charts. The Forum will be live on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time); <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">for more info or to register, click here</a>\r\n\r\nThis particular Eclipse focuses on authentic self-expression and creativity. Ask yourself: What might open up if I expressed myself with my heart as my center? With more courage? If I were too much in my head, what would tip me off to that? What might my world look like, if I allowed my light to shine just a little brighter?\r\n\r\nWe are also invited to allow head and heart to merge, bringing about a brighter future for humankind -- what would it look like if I allowed that merger? What if I chose, right here and now, to contribute to humanity from a courageous, heart-centered and authentic place? What if I simply chose that, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>Leo</b> represents our individual expression, the kind of light we came to shine, joy we came to spread. <b>Leo</b> is the sign of individual creativity; <b>Aquarius</b> represents the power of collaboration, where the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts. <b>Aquarius</b>, connects us to the complex patterns formed by many coming together<i>.</i>\r\n\r\nThis means it\'s important to be especially aware and responsible when connecting with others. As best as you can, get present and ask yourself: What am I bringing forth? What are my intentions? What is in my heart that longs to be expressed? Do I have the courage to stand in my authentic self-expression?\r\n\r\nIf we want to see a greater shift in the world at large (an Aquarian concern), we must each do our own part and express our unique gifts (Leo’s imperative). That said, if we don\'t come from the heart -- or if we get stuck over-thinking things and/or being overly concerned with what other people are thinking -- we will not be able to fulfill on that vision.\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> makes a Quincunx to Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>. </i>This might bring some internal discomfort; we need to make inner adjustments here. It nudges us to tune into our intuition, and create from a place of love rather than fear.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What if it were possible to get really in tune with my intuitive feeling body <i>and</i> express myself fully, with courage and without compromise? Might an introverted approach like that serve my extroverted, unique expression of Self? How can I transform lower vibrational feelings? For example, how might I transform fear into love? What approach might support such a transformation?\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun (ruler of Leo) in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> conjoins the South Node and Venus in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>. </i>This reminds us that each one of us has an electromagnetic field, and are an integral part of a much larger field, where our thoughts, growth, and actions interweave and affect the course of humanity. Together, we are exponentially more powerful.\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) is currently in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>. It\'s making a Square to Pluto and Mercury in </i><b><i>Capricorn.</i></b><i> </i>We are invited to be more honest with ourselves and others (especially about our fears and desires), and to pay attention to our thinking patterns, especially in regards to achieving things out there in the world.\r\n\r\nIn fact, you could say we are being invited to bring an innovative approach to who we are \"out there in the world\" -- and to our interactions with others… In other words: To step it up -- and walk our unique path. To inspire others. Life is too short to waste on things we are less than fully passionate about, that don\'t fully express our uniqueness.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What is being radically transformed in my life? Where am I being invited to confront outdated thought-forms? What\'s the relationship between my inner teenager and my inner adult?\r\n\r\nPluto represents the courage it takes to face our shadows and fears -- and if we can do that, we can discover our true motivations, desires -- and our true power. What do I get obsessed about? What scares me the most, when it comes to fully committing to things I feel passionate about?\r\n\r\nTake a look back at situations that felt disempowering -- and at situations that evoked some sort of helpless fury. When in the past have I given my power away to others, especially authority figures? Was it really about me? What did I choose in that moment?\r\n\r\n<i>Saturn (the traditional ruler of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>) currently in its own sign. </i>Here is a quote that fits really beautifully with this energy: <i>\"The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift of life is yours—it’s an amazing journey, and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. Your journey is determined by the choices you make. Your answers are determined by the questions you ask. Your destination is determined by the steps you take. Your future is determined by what you do today.\"</i> -- Dan Zadra\r\n\r\nWe are also encouraged during this Full Moon to acknowledge that we are all in this together, and that each one of us has the ability to effect change by tapping into our courage, and living our vision in every moment -- and this takes dropping into our hearts more fully.\r\n\r\nFor this <i>Full SuperBlue Moon/Lunar Eclipse</i> you could ask yourself these questions too: How might I learn about self-love? What if I chose to love the world as if it was a reflection of my heart and soul? What if I did that while expressing my unique soul-self, my unique spirit? Where do the inner and the outer experiences of love and connectedness meet?\r\n\r\nFlexibility, thinking outside the box, and self-care are critical during Eclipse season! Self-care is particularly important in times of stress and/or change — basic things, like making sure that we eat healthily and regularly, drink plenty of water, exercise, get plentiful rest -- and allow affection in from friends, family, or pets. Connecting to what feels supportive in order to stay grounded and regenerate ourselves can be very helpful as well.\r\n\r\nThere are so many more aspects we could talk about with this Lunar Eclipse chart, I\'d need an hour-and-a-half to cover it all — and that\'s just what I\'ll be doing during the 90-minute Monthly Forecasting Forum on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time)<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">click here to register</a> :-)\r\n\r\nThis <i>Lunar Eclipse</i> shows us that there is always work to be done -- and there\'s no need to get overwhelmed by that, because we all have the power to do it. All we have to do is look into our own heart and see the strength and love lying there. Ask yourself: Where could I be the voice? Where could I be or become the visionary? What if I accepted that I am the hero/heroine of my story? What is my role at this pivotal time?\r\n\r\nRemember: No effort is too small, no step too modest... And most important of all, perhaps: it\'s never too late to be the one who makes a difference -- especially when it comes from the heart and feels authentic!\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, trust that you have what it takes to make a difference for yourself and others. <i>And </i><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/powerful-full-supermoon-lunar-eclipse-in-leo-jan-feb-2018/\">if you’d like to learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video</a>.\r\n\r\nA final note about Eclipses: they\'re consciousness upgrades, so for 7 - 10 days before and after one, we are usually in uncharted territory -- anything is possible and it\'s wise to expect the unexpected. Anything <i>brand-new</i> started during this time will likely not pan out the way we thought it would, often because important information comes to light only after Eclipse season is over.\r\n\r\nFor that reason, try to defer any major brand-new projects until after Feb. 25th, when this particular Eclipse season ends. That said, if something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic, allow it to “be”... Just be wary of the urge to push something forward merely to relieve anxiety or impatience.\r\n\r\nAllow for the upgrade to download, staying centered and doing your best to \"ground\" from within -- try using conscious breathing, and regard flexibility as a tool. Best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body…\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point or personal planets in 6-17 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo, Aquarius, Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s Full Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 8:39am EST,</strong><strong> </strong><i>Mercury </i><i>leaves practical, cautious, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><i>and moves into</i> <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking, objective </i><b><i>Aquarius.</i></b><b><i> </i></b>It will journey there <b>until February 17th.<i> </i></b>For the next three weeks, we tend to contradict others more quickly, and offer a different perspective. We enjoy intellectual debates. We are quicker and more alert; our powers of observation are particularly strong.\r\n\r\nWe have something interesting to say, and our perspective on issues can be delightfully unusual and surprisingly insightful. This makes for some great conversations. We are more attracted to scientific and/or metaphysical pursuits right now. Anything that promises progress and advancement for mankind has special appeal.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel a greater need for focusing on your future and any humanitarian causes. Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will most likely feel more chatty for the next 3 weeks. </i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (February 1st): </strong><i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving</i><strong><em> Leo</em></strong><em> </em><strong>until 2:13pm EST </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 5:59am EST, </strong>we enter a <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 8 hours, <strong>until 2:13pm EST. </strong></span>During this intuitive time, have fun connecting with others and doing things that bring you joy — explore something different, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday morning until early afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 2:13pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into detail-oriented, practical</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <strong>until Saturday late afternoon</strong>; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<b> </b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (Feb. 2nd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong><i> </i><b>all day</b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Thursday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning, </strong>we<strong> </strong>seek a balance between head and heart, facts and faith, reason and intuition. That said, if you can achieve that balance, it’s a great day for being of service.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday early afternoon</strong> calls for some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice. Making this choice demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to engage in humanitarian causes — and on the other hand, the need to  tend to our daily routines.\r\n\r\n<b>Friday late evening</b>, we can potentially accomplish quite a bit: The Moon in <b>Virgo</b> makes a harmonious aspect to Pluto in <b>Capricorn</b>. Virgo and Capricorn are Earth signs, so getting down to business and focusing on the task at hand takes less effort than normal. We are able to tackle anything that requires attention to detail and maybe even implement health routines or other systems that support our long-term goals.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (February 3rd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><em> </em><strong>until 4:47pm EST </strong>(see Thursday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 2:07am EST, </strong>we enter a <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 14.5 hours, <strong>until 4:47pm EST. </strong></span>Use this intuitive time to get organized, improve daily routines, and to develop more awareness of how that all fits in with expanding intimate connections with others.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday very early morning until the late afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday late morning, </strong><em>an opportune Mercury/Mars aspect </em>becomes exact at 10:57am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Friday morning on; it will remain strong until Sunday evening. </strong>This aspect provides an opportunity to connect thought to action. Body and mind can align; words and deeds connect with ease. As with any opportunity, we have to \"take\" this one: it will not happen by itself.\r\n\r\nWhat actions are calling to you today? How might those actions be connected to other like-minded people... or a vision you have for humanity\'s future?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <em>3-7 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 4:47pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>, where it will journey<b> <strong>until Monday late afternoon.</strong> </b>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (February 4th): </strong><em>t</em><em>he Moon remains in </em><em><i>relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking</i></em><strong><em><i> </i>Libra</em></strong><em> </em><strong>all day </strong>(see Saturday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning, </strong><em>a challenging Venus/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 1:07am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Thursday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (Feb 6th). </strong>This aspect asks that we question our most fundamental beliefs and conditioning around the visions we value (and the people that share those visions) and how we view our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\nWe have the opportunity here to grow beyond our understanding of what our values get us. Issues connected to love, relationships, and whatever is most valuable to us, can seem overwhelming at this time. This is because we have a tendency to overindulge or over-promise.\r\n\r\nWe mean well, because we are feeling quite optimistic at this time -- but we may underestimate how much time we actually have, or how good a fit something actually is. Overspending could be connected to this aspect as well (as could making assumptions in our relationships); as best as you can, bring a non-judgmental awareness to any such tendencies.\r\n\r\nWhat are you observing about yourself and your relationships with others? What is enough... and what is too much?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>18-25 degrees</em></i><i> of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly.

With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, otherwise you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<b><strong>Monday late</strong> morning</b>, we are in a state of “flow” and emotional connection to others; spiritual and creative endeavors are favored. <i></i>\r\n\r\n<b><strong>Monday early afternoon </strong></b>requires some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice, one that demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to connect to like-minded people that share our vision — and on the other hand, the need to nurture ourselves and stay in touch with our feeling body.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late evening</strong>, we may take an all-or-northing attitude toward others; this could drive some tension or oppositional behaviors... As best you can, remain flexible and practice self-care — take good care of your emotional and physical body -- that way, you\'ll remain able to empower yourself and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (January 30th): </strong><em>the Moon remains in <i>protective, nurturing </i><strong>Cancer</strong></em><strong><em> </em>until 1:53pm EST (</strong>see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 11:40am EST, </strong>we enter a <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 2 hours, <strong>until 1:53pm EST.</strong> </span>Use this intuitive time to find balance between nurturing and self-care, versus achieving your goals. As always during VoC, take it easy -- go with the flow and avoid starting anything brand-new.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan late morning and early afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 1:53pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Thursday afternoon</strong><b>. </b>We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the Lunar Eclipse</i> -- a very powerful Full Moon (exact on Wednesday morning).\r\n\r\nWe all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-) So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can.\r\n\r\nFun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (January 31st): </strong><i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><strong>all day </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday morning, at 8:27am EST: </b><i>the Moon opposes the Sun</i> <i>in 11.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo</i></b> -- <em>a very powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse</em> becomes exact. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered <em>Leo</em> Tuesday at 1:53pm EST. </strong>\r\n\r\nOnce every six months, the Sun, Moon, and Earth finally align precisely enough for a Solar or Lunar Eclipse to occur; Eclipses are always powerfully connected to the Moon Nodes and thus to our Soul\'s Journey. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/powerful-full-supermoon-lunar-eclipse-in-leo-jan-feb-2018/\">If you’d like to learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video</a>.\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon is <i>the first of two Eclipses within the next four weeks and it\'s extra-powerful -- firstly</i><i>, because it\'s</i> a <i>SuperMoon -- </i>these occur when the Moon is either Full or New, while at its closest distance to the Earth; they are therefore more powerful. This often means an increase in emotional reactions, plus greater awareness around the issues connected to the particular Full Moon energy in question.\r\n\r\nSecondly, as the second Full Moon of this calendar month, it is also a \"<i>Blue Moon\" -- so </i>I think we can go ahead and call it a SuperBlue Moon :-)\r\n\r\nGiven that our SuperBlue Full Moon is happening in the <b>Leo</b>/<b>Aquarius</b> polarity, there\'s extra emphasis on increasing awareness of our mind\'s activities, and on opening our heart chakras. As we do this, we can open more to joy, and be more playful.\r\n\r\nLunar Eclipses generally direct our attention to our \"emotional body” and our relationships; they also connect us more fully to our Soul’s journey (as shown by the Moon Nodes). This particular Eclipse focuses on the relationship between the individual (<b>Leo</b>) and the collective (<b>Aquarius</b>).\r\n\r\nWe become aware of what has been suppressed or ignored -- or, this being a North Node Eclipse, what needs to be embraced, integrated and explored -- in regards to the <b>Leo</b> energy.\r\n\r\nIt\'s been 19 years since we experienced a Lunar Eclipse in this degree... Think back to Jan. 31st, 1999: What did I need to open my heart to back then? What became more clear at that time, in regards to exploring joy? Was I able to get in touch with my inner child?\r\n\r\nThis is the third Lunar Eclipse in a 23-month cycle of Eclipses, all connected to the <b>Leo/Aquarius</b> polarity; the cycle in question began in February 2017 with a Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b> and will last until Jan. 2019, ending with yet another Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b>.\r\n\r\nThink back to February of last year: What started shifting for me, in my attitudes towards the collective (or \"humanity\")? How about like-minded people? Was there likewise a shift in my desire for more joy? Self-expression? Heartfelt actions? If I think back to the last Solar Eclipse in Leo from August 21st, 2017, what has brought the possibility for more joy into my life?\r\n\r\nLife-changing revelations are more likely over the next two weeks — and with them, shifts in our consciousness — and the impact of an Eclipse\'s energy also lasts longer than a regular Lunation (anywhere from 6 months to 2 years!)\r\n\r\nI will talk about the upcoming Eclipses in more detail in my next Forecasting Forum — if you want to know how the Eclipses are going to impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up, to our own birth charts. The Forum will be live on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time); <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">for more info or to register, click here</a>\r\n\r\nThis particular Eclipse focuses on authentic self-expression and creativity. Ask yourself: What might open up if I expressed myself with my heart as my center? With more courage? If I were too much in my head, what would tip me off to that? What might my world look like, if I allowed my light to shine just a little brighter?\r\n\r\nWe are also invited to allow head and heart to merge, bringing about a brighter future for humankind -- what would it look like if I allowed that merger? What if I chose, right here and now, to contribute to humanity from a courageous, heart-centered and authentic place? What if I simply chose that, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>Leo</b> represents our individual expression, the kind of light we came to shine, joy we came to spread. <b>Leo</b> is the sign of individual creativity; <b>Aquarius</b> represents the power of collaboration, where the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts. <b>Aquarius</b>, connects us to the complex patterns formed by many coming together<i>.</i>\r\n\r\nThis means it\'s important to be especially aware and responsible when connecting with others. As best as you can, get present and ask yourself: What am I bringing forth? What are my intentions? What is in my heart that longs to be expressed? Do I have the courage to stand in my authentic self-expression?\r\n\r\nIf we want to see a greater shift in the world at large (an Aquarian concern), we must each do our own part and express our unique gifts (Leo’s imperative). That said, if we don\'t come from the heart -- or if we get stuck over-thinking things and/or being overly concerned with what other people are thinking -- we will not be able to fulfill on that vision.\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> makes a Quincunx to Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>. </i>This might bring some internal discomfort; we need to make inner adjustments here. It nudges us to tune into our intuition, and create from a place of love rather than fear.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What if it were possible to get really in tune with my intuitive feeling body <i>and</i> express myself fully, with courage and without compromise? Might an introverted approach like that serve my extroverted, unique expression of Self? How can I transform lower vibrational feelings? For example, how might I transform fear into love? What approach might support such a transformation?\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun (ruler of Leo) in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> conjoins the South Node and Venus in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>. </i>This reminds us that each one of us has an electromagnetic field, and are an integral part of a much larger field, where our thoughts, growth, and actions interweave and affect the course of humanity. Together, we are exponentially more powerful.\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) is currently in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>. It\'s making a Square to Pluto and Mercury in </i><b><i>Capricorn.</i></b><i> </i>We are invited to be more honest with ourselves and others (especially about our fears and desires), and to pay attention to our thinking patterns, especially in regards to achieving things out there in the world.\r\n\r\nIn fact, you could say we are being invited to bring an innovative approach to who we are \"out there in the world\" -- and to our interactions with others… In other words: To step it up -- and walk our unique path. To inspire others. Life is too short to waste on things we are less than fully passionate about, that don\'t fully express our uniqueness.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What is being radically transformed in my life? Where am I being invited to confront outdated thought-forms? What\'s the relationship between my inner teenager and my inner adult?\r\n\r\nPluto represents the courage it takes to face our shadows and fears -- and if we can do that, we can discover our true motivations, desires -- and our true power. What do I get obsessed about? What scares me the most, when it comes to fully committing to things I feel passionate about?\r\n\r\nTake a look back at situations that felt disempowering -- and at situations that evoked some sort of helpless fury. When in the past have I given my power away to others, especially authority figures? Was it really about me? What did I choose in that moment?\r\n\r\n<i>Saturn (the traditional ruler of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>) currently in its own sign. </i>Here is a quote that fits really beautifully with this energy: <i>\"The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift of life is yours—it’s an amazing journey, and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. Your journey is determined by the choices you make. Your answers are determined by the questions you ask. Your destination is determined by the steps you take. Your future is determined by what you do today.\"</i> -- Dan Zadra\r\n\r\nWe are also encouraged during this Full Moon to acknowledge that we are all in this together, and that each one of us has the ability to effect change by tapping into our courage, and living our vision in every moment -- and this takes dropping into our hearts more fully.\r\n\r\nFor this <i>Full SuperBlue Moon/Lunar Eclipse</i> you could ask yourself these questions too: How might I learn about self-love? What if I chose to love the world as if it was a reflection of my heart and soul? What if I did that while expressing my unique soul-self, my unique spirit? Where do the inner and the outer experiences of love and connectedness meet?\r\n\r\nFlexibility, thinking outside the box, and self-care are critical during Eclipse season! Self-care is particularly important in times of stress and/or change — basic things, like making sure that we eat healthily and regularly, drink plenty of water, exercise, get plentiful rest -- and allow affection in from friends, family, or pets. Connecting to what feels supportive in order to stay grounded and regenerate ourselves can be very helpful as well.\r\n\r\nThere are so many more aspects we could talk about with this Lunar Eclipse chart, I\'d need an hour-and-a-half to cover it all — and that\'s just what I\'ll be doing during the 90-minute Monthly Forecasting Forum on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time)<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">click here to register</a> :-)\r\n\r\nThis <i>Lunar Eclipse</i> shows us that there is always work to be done -- and there\'s no need to get overwhelmed by that, because we all have the power to do it. All we have to do is look into our own heart and see the strength and love lying there. Ask yourself: Where could I be the voice? Where could I be or become the visionary? What if I accepted that I am the hero/heroine of my story? What is my role at this pivotal time?\r\n\r\nRemember: No effort is too small, no step too modest... And most important of all, perhaps: it\'s never too late to be the one who makes a difference -- especially when it comes from the heart and feels authentic!\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, trust that you have what it takes to make a difference for yourself and others. <i>And </i><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/powerful-full-supermoon-lunar-eclipse-in-leo-jan-feb-2018/\">if you’d like to learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video</a>.\r\n\r\nA final note about Eclipses: they\'re consciousness upgrades, so for 7 - 10 days before and after one, we are usually in uncharted territory -- anything is possible and it\'s wise to expect the unexpected. Anything <i>brand-new</i> started during this time will likely not pan out the way we thought it would, often because important information comes to light only after Eclipse season is over.\r\n\r\nFor that reason, try to defer any major brand-new projects until after Feb. 25th, when this particular Eclipse season ends. That said, if something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic, allow it to “be”... Just be wary of the urge to push something forward merely to relieve anxiety or impatience.\r\n\r\nAllow for the upgrade to download, staying centered and doing your best to \"ground\" from within -- try using conscious breathing, and regard flexibility as a tool. Best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body…\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point or personal planets in 6-17 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo, Aquarius, Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s Full Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 8:39am EST,</strong><strong> </strong><i>Mercury </i><i>leaves practical, cautious, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><i>and moves into</i> <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking, objective </i><b><i>Aquarius.</i></b><b><i> </i></b>It will journey there <b>until February 17th.<i> </i></b>For the next three weeks, we tend to contradict others more quickly, and offer a different perspective. We enjoy intellectual debates. We are quicker and more alert; our powers of observation are particularly strong.\r\n\r\nWe have something interesting to say, and our perspective on issues can be delightfully unusual and surprisingly insightful. This makes for some great conversations. We are more attracted to scientific and/or metaphysical pursuits right now. Anything that promises progress and advancement for mankind has special appeal.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel a greater need for focusing on your future and any humanitarian causes. Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will most likely feel more chatty for the next 3 weeks. </i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (February 1st): </strong><i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving</i><strong><em> Leo</em></strong><em> </em><strong>until 2:13pm EST </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 5:59am EST, </strong>we enter a <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 8 hours, <strong>until 2:13pm EST. </strong></span>During this intuitive time, have fun connecting with others and doing things that bring you joy — explore something different, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday morning until early afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 2:13pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into detail-oriented, practical</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <strong>until Saturday late afternoon</strong>; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<b> </b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (Feb. 2nd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong><i> </i><b>all day</b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Thursday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning, </strong>we<strong> </strong>seek a balance between head and heart, facts and faith, reason and intuition. That said, if you can achieve that balance, it’s a great day for being of service.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday early afternoon</strong> calls for some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice. Making this choice demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to engage in humanitarian causes — and on the other hand, the need to  tend to our daily routines.\r\n\r\n<b>Friday late evening</b>, we can potentially accomplish quite a bit: The Moon in <b>Virgo</b> makes a harmonious aspect to Pluto in <b>Capricorn</b>. Virgo and Capricorn are Earth signs, so getting down to business and focusing on the task at hand takes less effort than normal. We are able to tackle anything that requires attention to detail and maybe even implement health routines or other systems that support our long-term goals.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (February 3rd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><em> </em><strong>until 4:47pm EST </strong>(see Thursday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 2:07am EST, </strong>we enter a <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 14.5 hours, <strong>until 4:47pm EST. </strong></span>Use this intuitive time to get organized, improve daily routines, and to develop more awareness of how that all fits in with expanding intimate connections with others.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday very early morning until the late afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday late morning, </strong><em>an opportune Mercury/Mars aspect </em>becomes exact at 10:57am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Friday morning on; it will remain strong until Sunday evening. </strong>This aspect provides an opportunity to connect thought to action. Body and mind can align; words and deeds connect with ease. As with any opportunity, we have to \"take\" this one: it will not happen by itself.\r\n\r\nWhat actions are calling to you today? How might those actions be connected to other like-minded people... or a vision you have for humanity\'s future?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <em>3-7 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 4:47pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>, where it will journey<b> <strong>until Monday late afternoon.</strong> </b>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (February 4th): </strong><em>t</em><em>he Moon remains in </em><em><i>relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking</i></em><strong><em><i> </i>Libra</em></strong><em> </em><strong>all day </strong>(see Saturday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning, </strong><em>a challenging Venus/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 1:07am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Thursday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (Feb 6th). </strong>This aspect asks that we question our most fundamental beliefs and conditioning around the visions we value (and the people that share those visions) and how we view our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\nWe have the opportunity here to grow beyond our understanding of what our values get us. Issues connected to love, relationships, and whatever is most valuable to us, can seem overwhelming at this time. This is because we have a tendency to overindulge or over-promise.\r\n\r\nWe mean well, because we are feeling quite optimistic at this time -- but we may underestimate how much time we actually have, or how good a fit something actually is. Overspending could be connected to this aspect as well (as could making assumptions in our relationships); as best as you can, bring a non-judgmental awareness to any such tendencies.\r\n\r\nWhat are you observing about yourself and your relationships with others? What is enough... and what is too much?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>18-25 degrees</em></i><i> of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (Feb. 5th): </strong><em>t</em><em>h</em><em>e </em><em>Moon remains in </em><em><i>relationship-oriented</i></em><strong><em><i>, </i></em></strong><em><i>harmony-seeking</i></em><em> <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong><em> </em>until 10:56pm EST (see Saturday late afternoon for details). At 1:46pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 9 hours, <strong>until 10:56pm EST</strong>.  You may want to plan Monday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)<strong> At</strong> <strong>10:56pm EST</strong>, the Moon moves into <strong>Scorpio</strong>, where it will journey <strong>until next week Thursday morning </strong>(Feb. 8th). This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the last Quarter Moon (which, will be exact next week Wednesday -- Feb. 7th). More about all the details in next week’s forecast ;-)<b> </b>\r\n<h3><b>One Last Announcement:</b></h3>\r\nJoin me for my next FORECASTING FORUM, <b>Saturday</b>, <b>Feb</b>.<b> 3rd, 2018 at </b>11am<b> </b>PST/<b> 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time).<b> Please note </b>that we will be talking about the upcoming<b> Eclipses: Lunar Eclipse/SuperMoon in Leo </b>and<b> Solar Eclipse in Aquarius.</b>\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how to align yourself with these potent energies coming our way, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\"><b>To register now, click here</b></a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Here is a testimonial from one of our participants right after joining our most recent Forum:</strong>\r\n<blockquote><i>\"Sonja\'s Forecasting Forums make Astrology accessible for anyone.

Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can.\r\n\r\nFun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (January 31st): </strong><i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><strong>all day </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday morning, at 8:27am EST: </b><i>the Moon opposes the Sun</i> <i>in 11.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo</i></b> -- <em>a very powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse</em> becomes exact. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered <em>Leo</em> Tuesday at 1:53pm EST. </strong>\r\n\r\nOnce every six months, the Sun, Moon, and Earth finally align precisely enough for a Solar or Lunar Eclipse to occur; Eclipses are always powerfully connected to the Moon Nodes and thus to our Soul\'s Journey. <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/Lunar+Eclipse.aspx\">If you’d like to learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video</a>.\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon is <i>the first of two Eclipses within the next four weeks and it\'s extra-powerful -- firstly</i><i>, because it\'s</i> a <i>SuperMoon -- </i>these occur when the Moon is either Full or New, while at its closest distance to the Earth; they are therefore more powerful. This often means an increase in emotional reactions, plus greater awareness around the issues connected to the particular Full Moon energy in question.\r\n\r\nSecondly, as the second Full Moon of this calendar month, it is also a \"<i>Blue Moon\" -- so </i>I think we can go ahead and call it a SuperBlue Moon :-)\r\n\r\nGiven that our SuperBlue Full Moon is happening in the <b>Leo</b>/<b>Aquarius</b> polarity, there\'s extra emphasis on increasing awareness of our mind\'s activities, and on opening our heart chakras. As we do this, we can open more to joy, and be more playful.\r\n\r\nLunar Eclipses generally direct our attention to our \"emotional body” and our relationships; they also connect us more fully to our Soul’s journey (as shown by the Moon Nodes). This particular Eclipse focuses on the relationship between the individual (<b>Leo</b>) and the collective (<b>Aquarius</b>).\r\n\r\nWe become aware of what has been suppressed or ignored -- or, this being a North Node Eclipse, what needs to be embraced, integrated and explored -- in regards to the <b>Leo</b> energy.\r\n\r\nIt\'s been 19 years since we experienced a Lunar Eclipse in this degree... Think back to Jan. 31st, 1999: What did I need to open my heart to back then? What became more clear at that time, in regards to exploring joy? Was I able to get in touch with my inner child?\r\n\r\nThis is the third Lunar Eclipse in a 23-month cycle of Eclipses, all connected to the <b>Leo/Aquarius</b> polarity; the cycle in question began in February 2017 with a Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b> and will last until Jan. 2019, ending with yet another Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b>.\r\n\r\nThink back to February of last year: What started shifting for me, in my attitudes towards the collective (or \"humanity\")? How about like-minded people? Was there likewise a shift in my desire for more joy? Self-expression? Heartfelt actions? If I think back to the last Solar Eclipse in Leo from August 21st, 2017, what has brought the possibility for more joy into my life?\r\n\r\nLife-changing revelations are more likely over the next two weeks — and with them, shifts in our consciousness — and the impact of an Eclipse\'s energy also lasts longer than a regular Lunation (anywhere from 6 months to 2 years!)\r\n\r\nI will talk about the upcoming Eclipses in more detail in my next Forecasting Forum — if you want to know how the Eclipses are going to impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up, to our own birth charts. The Forum will be live on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time); for more info or to register, <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">click here</a>: <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ</a>\r\n\r\nThis particular Eclipse focuses on authentic self-expression and creativity. Ask yourself: What might open up if I expressed myself with my heart as my center? With more courage? If I were too much in my head, what would tip me off to that? What might my world look like, if I allowed my light to shine just a little brighter?\r\n\r\nWe are also invited to allow head and heart to merge, bringing about a brighter future for humankind -- what would it look like if I allowed that merger? What if I chose, right here and now, to contribute to humanity from a courageous, heart-centered and authentic place? What if I simply chose that, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>Leo</b> represents our individual expression, the kind of light we came to shine, joy we came to spread. <b>Leo</b> is the sign of individual creativity; <b>Aquarius</b> represents the power of collaboration, where the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts. <b>Aquarius</b>, connects us to the complex patterns formed by many coming together<i>.</i>\r\n\r\nThis means it\'s important to be especially aware and responsible when connecting with others. As best as you can, get present and ask yourself: What am I bringing forth? What are my intentions? What is in my heart that longs to be expressed? Do I have the courage to stand in my authentic self-expression?\r\n\r\nIf we want to see a greater shift in the world at large (an Aquarian concern), we must each do our own part and express our unique gifts (Leo’s imperative). That said, if we don\'t come from the heart --<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> or if we get stuck in over-thinking things and/or being overly concerned with what other people are thinking -- we will not be able to fulfill on that vision.</span>\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> makes a Quincunx to Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>. </i>This might bring some internal discomfort; we need to make inner adjustments here. It nudges us to tune into our intuition, and create from a place of love rather than fear.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What if it were possible to get really in tune with my intuitive feeling body <i>and</i> express myself fully, with courage and without compromise? Might an introverted approach like that serve my extroverted, unique expression of Self? How can I transform lower vibrational feelings? For example, how might I transform fear into love? What approach might support such a transformation?\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun (ruler of Leo) in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> conjoins the South Node and Venus in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>. </i>This reminds us that each one of us has an electromagnetic field, and are an integral part of a much larger field, where our thoughts, growth, and actions interweave and affect the course of humanity. Together, we are exponentially more powerful.\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) is currently in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>. It\'s making a Square to Pluto and Mercury in </i><b><i>Capricorn.</i></b><i> </i>We are invited to be more honest with ourselves and others (especially about our fears and desires), and to pay attention to our thinking patterns, especially in regards to achieving things out there in the world.\r\n\r\nIn fact, you could say we are being invited to bring an innovative approach to who we are \"out there in the world\" -- and to our interactions with others… In other words: To step it up -- and walk our unique path. To inspire others. Life is too short to waste on things we are less than fully passionate about, that don\'t fully express our uniqueness.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What is being radically transformed in my life? Where am I being invited to confront outdated thought-forms? What\'s the relationship between my inner teenager and my inner adult?\r\n\r\nPluto represents the courage it takes to face our shadows and fears -- and if we can do that, we can discover our true motivations, desires -- and our true power. What do I get obsessed about? What scares me the most, when it comes to fully committing to things I feel passionate about?\r\n\r\nTake a look back at situations that felt disempowering -- and at situations that evoked some sort of helpless fury. When in the past have I given my power away to others, especially authority figures? Was it really about me? What did I choose in that moment?\r\n\r\n<i>Saturn (the traditional ruler of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>) currently in its own sign. </i>Here is a quote that fits really beautifully with this energy: <i>\"The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift of life is yours—it’s an amazing journey, and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. Your journey is determined by the choices you make. Your answers are determined by the questions you ask. Your destination is determined by the steps you take. Your future is determined by what you do today.\"</i> -- Dan Zadra\r\n\r\nWe are also encouraged during this Full Moon to acknowledge that we are all in this together, and that each one of us has the ability to effect change by tapping into our courage, and living our vision in every moment -- and this takes dropping into our hearts more fully.\r\n\r\nFor this <i>Full SuperBlue Moon/Lunar Eclipse</i> you could ask yourself these questions too: How might I learn about self-love? What if I chose to love the world as if it was a reflection of my heart and soul? What if I did that while expressing my unique soul-self, my unique spirit? Where do the inner and the outer experiences of love and connectedness meet?\r\n\r\nFlexibility, thinking outside the box, and self-care are critical during Eclipse season! Self-care is particularly important in times of stress and/or change — basic things, like making sure that we eat healthily and regularly, drink plenty of water, exercise, get plentiful rest -- and allow affection in from friends, family, or pets. Connecting to what feels supportive in order to stay grounded and regenerate ourselves can be very helpful as well.\r\n\r\nThere are so many more aspects we could talk about with this Lunar Eclipse chart, I\'d need an hour-and-a-half to cover it all — and that\'s just what I\'ll be doing during the 90-minute Monthly Forecasting Forum on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time)<b> </b><a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">click here to register</a>: <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ</a>) :-)\r\n\r\nThis <i>Lunar Eclipse</i> shows us that there is always work to be done -- and there\'s no need to get overwhelmed by that, because we all have the power to do it. All we have to do is look into our own heart and see the strength and love lying there. Ask yourself: Where could I be the voice? Where could I be or become the visionary? What if I accepted that I am the hero/heroine of my story? What is my role at this pivotal time?\r\n\r\nRemember: No effort is too small, no step too modest... And most important of all, perhaps: it\'s never too late to be the one who makes a difference -- especially when it comes from the heart and feels authentic!\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, trust that you have what it takes to make a difference for yourself and others. <i>And </i><a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/Lunar+Eclipse.aspx\">if you’d like to learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video</a>.\r\n\r\nA final note about Eclipses: they\'re consciousness upgrades, so for 7 - 10 days before and after one, we are usually in uncharted territory -- anything is possible and it\'s wise to expect the unexpected. Anything <i>brand-new</i> started during this time will likely not pan out the way we thought it would, often because important information comes to light only after Eclipse season is over.\r\n\r\nFor that reason, try to defer any major brand-new projects until after Feb. 25th, when this particular Eclipse season ends. That said, if something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic, allow it to “be”... Just be wary of the urge to push something forward merely to relieve anxiety or impatience.\r\n\r\nAllow for the upgrade to download, staying centered and doing your best to \"ground\" from within -- try using conscious breathing, and regard flexibility as a tool. Best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body…\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point or personal planets in 6-17 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo, Aquarius, Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>?

We enjoy intellectual debates. We are quicker and more alert; our powers of observation are particularly strong.\r\n\r\nWe have something interesting to say, and our perspective on issues can be delightfully unusual and surprisingly insightful. This makes for some great conversations. We are more attracted to scientific and/or metaphysical pursuits right now. Anything that promises progress and advancement for mankind has special appeal.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel a greater need for focusing on your future and any humanitarian causes. Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>?

Body and mind can align; words and deeds connect with ease. As with any opportunity, we have to \"take\" this one: it will not happen by itself.\r\n\r\nWhat actions are calling to you today? How might those actions be connected to other like-minded people... or a vision you have for humanity\'s future?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <em>3-7 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 4:47pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>, where it will journey<b> <strong>until Monday late afternoon.</strong> </b>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating.

You may also want to plan late morning and early afternoon ahead of time :-) </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 1:53pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Thursday afternoon</strong><b>. </b>We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the Lunar Eclipse</i> -- a very powerful Full Moon (exact on Wednesday morning).\r\n\r\nWe all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-) So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can.\r\n\r\nFun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (January 31st): </strong><i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><strong>all day </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday morning, at 8:27am EST: </b><i>the Moon opposes the Sun</i> <i>in 11.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo</i></b> -- <em>a very powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse</em> becomes exact. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered <em>Leo</em> Tuesday at 1:53pm EST. </strong>\r\n\r\nOnce every six months, the Sun, Moon, and Earth finally align precisely enough for a Solar or Lunar Eclipse to occur; Eclipses are always powerfully connected to the Moon Nodes and thus to our Soul\'s Journey. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/powerful-full-supermoon-lunar-eclipse-in-leo-jan-feb-2018/\">If you’d like to learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video</a>.\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon is <i>the first of two Eclipses within the next four weeks and it\'s extra-powerful -- firstly</i><i>, because it\'s</i> a <i>SuperMoon -- </i>these occur when the Moon is either Full or New, while at its closest distance to the Earth; they are therefore more powerful. This often means an increase in emotional reactions, plus greater awareness around the issues connected to the particular Full Moon energy in question.\r\n\r\nSecondly, as the second Full Moon of this calendar month, it is also a \"<i>Blue Moon\" -- so </i>I think we can go ahead and call it a SuperBlue Moon :-)\r\n\r\nGiven that our SuperBlue Full Moon is happening in the <b>Leo</b>/<b>Aquarius</b> polarity, there\'s extra emphasis on increasing awareness of our mind\'s activities, and on opening our heart chakras. As we do this, we can open more to joy, and be more playful.\r\n\r\nLunar Eclipses generally direct our attention to our \"emotional body” and our relationships; they also connect us more fully to our Soul’s journey (as shown by the Moon Nodes). This particular Eclipse focuses on the relationship between the individual (<b>Leo</b>) and the collective (<b>Aquarius</b>).\r\n\r\nWe become aware of what has been suppressed or ignored -- or, this being a North Node Eclipse, what needs to be embraced, integrated and explored -- in regards to the <b>Leo</b> energy.\r\n\r\nIt\'s been 19 years since we experienced a Lunar Eclipse in this degree... Think back to Jan. 31st, 1999: What did I need to open my heart to back then? What became more clear at that time, in regards to exploring joy? Was I able to get in touch with my inner child?\r\n\r\nThis is the third Lunar Eclipse in a 23-month cycle of Eclipses, all connected to the <b>Leo/Aquarius</b> polarity; the cycle in question began in February 2017 with a Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b> and will last until Jan. 2019, ending with yet another Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b>.\r\n\r\nThink back to February of last year: What started shifting for me, in my attitudes towards the collective (or \"humanity\")? How about like-minded people? Was there likewise a shift in my desire for more joy? Self-expression? Heartfelt actions? If I think back to the last Solar Eclipse in Leo from August 21st, 2017, what has brought the possibility for more joy into my life?\r\n\r\nLife-changing revelations are more likely over the next two weeks — and with them, shifts in our consciousness — and the impact of an Eclipse\'s energy also lasts longer than a regular Lunation (anywhere from 6 months to 2 years!)\r\n\r\nI will talk about the upcoming Eclipses in more detail in my next Forecasting Forum — if you want to know how the Eclipses are going to impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up, to our own birth charts. The Forum will be live on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time); <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">for more info or to register, click here</a>\r\n\r\nThis particular Eclipse focuses on authentic self-expression and creativity. Ask yourself: What might open up if I expressed myself with my heart as my center? With more courage? If I were too much in my head, what would tip me off to that? What might my world look like, if I allowed my light to shine just a little brighter?\r\n\r\nWe are also invited to allow head and heart to merge, bringing about a brighter future for humankind -- what would it look like if I allowed that merger? What if I chose, right here and now, to contribute to humanity from a courageous, heart-centered and authentic place? What if I simply chose that, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>Leo</b> represents our individual expression, the kind of light we came to shine, joy we came to spread. <b>Leo</b> is the sign of individual creativity; <b>Aquarius</b> represents the power of collaboration, where the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts. <b>Aquarius</b>, connects us to the complex patterns formed by many coming together<i>.</i>\r\n\r\nThis means it\'s important to be especially aware and responsible when connecting with others. As best as you can, get present and ask yourself: What am I bringing forth? What are my intentions? What is in my heart that longs to be expressed? Do I have the courage to stand in my authentic self-expression?\r\n\r\nIf we want to see a greater shift in the world at large (an Aquarian concern), we must each do our own part and express our unique gifts (Leo’s imperative). That said, if we don\'t come from the heart --<span style=\"color: #333333;\"> or if we get stuck over-thinking things and/or being overly concerned with what other people are thinking -- we will not be able to fulfill on that vision.</span>\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> makes a Quincunx to Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>. </i>This might bring some internal discomfort; we need to make inner adjustments here. It nudges us to tune into our intuition, and create from a place of love rather than fear.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What if it were possible to get really in tune with my intuitive feeling body <i>and</i> express myself fully, with courage and without compromise? Might an introverted approach like that serve my extroverted, unique expression of Self? How can I transform lower vibrational feelings? For example, how might I transform fear into love? What approach might support such a transformation?\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun (ruler of Leo) in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> conjoins the South Node and Venus in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>. </i>This reminds us that each one of us has an electromagnetic field, and are an integral part of a much larger field, where our thoughts, growth, and actions interweave and affect the course of humanity. Together, we are exponentially more powerful.\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) is currently in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>. It\'s making a Square to Pluto and Mercury in </i><b><i>Capricorn.</i></b><i> </i>We are invited to be more honest with ourselves and others (especially about our fears and desires), and to pay attention to our thinking patterns, especially in regards to achieving things out there in the world.\r\n\r\nIn fact, you could say we are being invited to bring an innovative approach to who we are \"out there in the world\" -- and to our interactions with others… In other words: To step it up -- and walk our unique path. To inspire others. Life is too short to waste on things we are less than fully passionate about, that don\'t fully express our uniqueness.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What is being radically transformed in my life? Where am I being invited to confront outdated thought-forms? What\'s the relationship between my inner teenager and my inner adult?\r\n\r\nPluto represents the courage it takes to face our shadows and fears -- and if we can do that, we can discover our true motivations, desires -- and our true power. What do I get obsessed about? What scares me the most, when it comes to fully committing to things I feel passionate about?\r\n\r\nTake a look back at situations that felt disempowering -- and at situations that evoked some sort of helpless fury. When in the past have I given my power away to others, especially authority figures? Was it really about me? What did I choose in that moment?\r\n\r\n<i>Saturn (the traditional ruler of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>) currently in its own sign. </i>Here is a quote that fits really beautifully with this energy: <i>\"The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift of life is yours—it’s an amazing journey, and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. Your journey is determined by the choices you make. Your answers are determined by the questions you ask. Your destination is determined by the steps you take. Your future is determined by what you do today.\"</i> -- Dan Zadra\r\n\r\nWe are also encouraged during this Full Moon to acknowledge that we are all in this together, and that each one of us has the ability to effect change by tapping into our courage, and living our vision in every moment -- and this takes dropping into our hearts more fully.\r\n\r\nFor this <i>Full SuperBlue Moon/Lunar Eclipse</i> you could ask yourself these questions too: How might I learn about self-love? What if I chose to love the world as if it was a reflection of my heart and soul? What if I did that while expressing my unique soul-self, my unique spirit? Where do the inner and the outer experiences of love and connectedness meet?\r\n\r\nFlexibility, thinking outside the box, and self-care are critical during Eclipse season! Self-care is particularly important in times of stress and/or change — basic things, like making sure that we eat healthily and regularly, drink plenty of water, exercise, get plentiful rest -- and allow affection in from friends, family, or pets. Connecting to what feels supportive in order to stay grounded and regenerate ourselves can be very helpful as well.\r\n\r\nThere are so many more aspects we could talk about with this Lunar Eclipse chart, I\'d need an hour-and-a-half to cover it all — and that\'s just what I\'ll be doing during the 90-minute Monthly Forecasting Forum on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time)<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">click here to register</a> :-)\r\n\r\nThis <i>Lunar Eclipse</i> shows us that there is always work to be done -- and there\'s no need to get overwhelmed by that, because we all have the power to do it. All we have to do is look into our own heart and see the strength and love lying there. Ask yourself: Where could I be the voice? Where could I be or become the visionary? What if I accepted that I am the hero/heroine of my story? What is my role at this pivotal time?\r\n\r\nRemember: No effort is too small, no step too modest... And most important of all, perhaps: it\'s never too late to be the one who makes a difference -- especially when it comes from the heart and feels authentic!\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, trust that you have what it takes to make a difference for yourself and others. <i>And </i><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/powerful-full-supermoon-lunar-eclipse-in-leo-jan-feb-2018/\">if you’d like to learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video</a>.\r\n\r\nA final note about Eclipses: they\'re consciousness upgrades, so for 7 - 10 days before and after one, we are usually in uncharted territory -- anything is possible and it\'s wise to expect the unexpected. Anything <i>brand-new</i> started during this time will likely not pan out the way we thought it would, often because important information comes to light only after Eclipse season is over.\r\n\r\nFor that reason, try to defer any major brand-new projects until after Feb. 25th, when this particular Eclipse season ends. That said, if something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic, allow it to “be”... Just be wary of the urge to push something forward merely to relieve anxiety or impatience.\r\n\r\nAllow for the upgrade to download, staying centered and doing your best to \"ground\" from within -- try using conscious breathing, and regard flexibility as a tool. Best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body…\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point or personal planets in 6-17 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo, Aquarius, Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s Full Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 8:39am EST,</strong><strong> </strong><i>Mercury </i><i>leaves practical, cautious, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><i>and moves into</i> <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking, objective </i><b><i>Aquarius.</i></b><b><i> </i></b>It will journey there <b>until February 17th.<i> </i></b>For the next three weeks, we tend to contradict others more quickly, and offer a different perspective. We enjoy intellectual debates. We are quicker and more alert; our powers of observation are particularly strong.\r\n\r\nWe have something interesting to say, and our perspective on issues can be delightfully unusual and surprisingly insightful. This makes for some great conversations. We are more attracted to scientific and/or metaphysical pursuits right now. Anything that promises progress and advancement for mankind has special appeal.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel a greater need for focusing on your future and any humanitarian causes. Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>?

We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<b> </b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (Feb. 2nd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong><i> </i><b>all day</b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Thursday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning, </strong>we<strong> </strong>seek a balance between head and heart, facts and faith, reason and intuition. That said, if you can achieve that balance, it’s a great day for being of service.\r\n\r\n<strong>Frida<span style=\"color: #333333;\">y early afternoon</span></strong><span style=\"color: #333333;\"> calls for some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice. Making this choice demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to engage in humanitarian causes — and on the other hand, the need to  tend to our daily routines.</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Friday late evening</b>, we can potentially accomplish quite a bit: The Moon in <b>Virgo</b> makes a harmonious aspect to Pluto in <b>Capricorn</b>. Virgo and Capricorn are Earth signs, so getting down to business and focusing on the task at hand takes less effort than normal. We are able to tackle anything that requires attention to detail and maybe even implement health routines or other systems that support our long-term goals.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (February 3rd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><em> </em><strong>until 4:47pm EST </strong>(see Thursday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 2:07am EST, </strong>we enter a <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 14.5 hours, <strong>until 4:47pm EST<span style=\"color: #333333;\">. </span></strong></span><span style=\"color: #333333;\">Use this intuitive time to get organized, improve daily routines, and to develop more awareness of how that all fits in with expanding intimate connections with others.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

Body and mind can align; words and deeds connect with ease. As with any opportunity, we have to \"take\" this one: it will not happen by itself.\r\n\r\nWhat actions are calling to you today? How might those actions be connected to other like-minded people... or a vision you have for humanity\'s future?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <em>3-7 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 4:47pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>, where it will journey<b> <strong>until Monday late afternoon.</strong> </b>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (February 4th): </strong><em>t</em><em>he Moon remains in </em><em><i>relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking</i></em><strong><em><i> </i>Libra</em></strong><em> </em><strong>all day </strong>(see Saturday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #333333;\"><strong>Sunday very early morning, </strong><em>a challenging Venus/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 1:07am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Thursday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (Feb 6th). </strong>This aspect asks that we question our most fundamental beliefs and conditioning around the visions we value (and the people that share those visions) and how we view our intimate relationships. </span>\r\n\r\nWe have the opportunity here to grow beyond our understanding of what our values get us. Issues connected to love, relationships, and whatever is most valuable to us, can seem overwhelming at this time. This is because we have a tendency to overindulge or over-promise.\r\n\r\nWe mean well, because we are feeling quite optimistic at this time -- but we may underestimate how much time we actually have, or how good a fit something actually is. Overspending could be connected to this aspect as well (as could making assumptions in our relationships); as best as you can, bring a non-judgmental awareness to any such tendencies.\r\n\r\nWhat are you observing about yourself and your relationships with others? What is enough... and what is too much?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>18-25 degrees</em></i><i> of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>?

This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the Lunar Eclipse</i> -- a very powerful Full Moon (exact on Wednesday morning).\r\n\r\nWe all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-) So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can.\r\n\r\nFun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (January 31st): </strong><i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><strong>all day </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday morning, at 8:27am EST: </b><i>the Moon opposes the Sun</i> <i>in 11.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo</i></b> -- <em>a very powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse</em> becomes exact. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered <em>Leo</em> Tuesday at 1:53pm EST. </strong>\r\n\r\nOnce every six months, the Sun, Moon, and Earth finally align precisely enough for a Solar or Lunar Eclipse to occur; Eclipses are always powerfully connected to the Moon Nodes and thus to our Soul\'s Journey. <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/Lunar+Eclipse.aspx\">If you’d like to learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video</a>.\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon is <i>the first of two Eclipses within the next four weeks and it\'s extra-powerful -- firstly</i><i>, because it\'s</i> a <i>SuperMoon -- </i>these occur when the Moon is either Full or New, while at its closest distance to the Earth; they are therefore more powerful. This often means an increase in emotional reactions, plus greater awareness around the issues connected to the particular Full Moon energy in question.\r\n\r\nSecondly, as the second Full Moon of this calendar month, it is also a \"<i>Blue Moon\" -- so </i>I think we can go ahead and call it a SuperBlue Moon :-)\r\n\r\nGiven that our SuperBlue Full Moon is happening in the <b>Leo</b>/<b>Aquarius</b> polarity, there\'s extra emphasis on increasing awareness of our mind\'s activities, and on opening our heart chakras. As we do this, we can open more to joy, and be more playful.\r\n\r\nLunar Eclipses generally direct our attention to our \"emotional body” and our relationships; they also connect us more fully to our Soul’s journey (as shown by the Moon Nodes). This particular Eclipse focuses on the relationship between the individual (<b>Leo</b>) and the collective (<b>Aquarius</b>).\r\n\r\nWe become aware of what has been suppressed or ignored -- or, this being a North Node Eclipse, what needs to be embraced, integrated and explored -- in regards to the <b>Leo</b> energy.\r\n\r\nIt\'s been 19 years since we experienced a Lunar Eclipse in this degree... Think back to Jan. 31st, 1999: What did I need to open my heart to back then? What became more clear at that time, in regards to exploring joy? Was I able to get in touch with my inner child?\r\n\r\nThis is the third Lunar Eclipse in a 23-month cycle of Eclipses, all connected to the <b>Leo/Aquarius</b> polarity; the cycle in question began in February 2017 with a Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b> and will last until Jan. 2019, ending with yet another Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b>.\r\n\r\nThink back to February of last year: What started shifting for me, in my attitudes towards the collective (or \"humanity\")? How about like-minded people? Was there likewise a shift in my desire for more joy? Self-expression? Heartfelt actions? If I think back to the last Solar Eclipse in Leo from August 21st, 2017, what has brought the possibility for more joy into my life?\r\n\r\nLife-changing revelations are more likely over the next two weeks — and with them, shifts in our consciousness — and the impact of an Eclipse\'s energy also lasts longer than a regular Lunation (anywhere from 6 months to 2 years!)\r\n\r\nI will talk about the upcoming Eclipses in more detail in my next Forecasting Forum — if you want to know how the Eclipses are going to impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up, to our own birth charts. The Forum will be live on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time); for more info or to register, <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">click here</a>: <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ</a>\r\n\r\nThis particular Eclipse focuses on authentic self-expression and creativity. Ask yourself: What might open up if I expressed myself with my heart as my center? With more courage? If I were too much in my head, what would tip me off to that? What might my world look like, if I allowed my light to shine just a little brighter?\r\n\r\nWe are also invited to allow head and heart to merge, bringing about a brighter future for humankind -- what would it look like if I allowed that merger? What if I chose, right here and now, to contribute to humanity from a courageous, heart-centered and authentic place? What if I simply chose that, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>Leo</b> represents our individual expression, the kind of light we came to shine, joy we came to spread. <b>Leo</b> is the sign of individual creativity; <b>Aquarius</b> represents the power of collaboration, where the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts. <b>Aquarius</b>, connects us to the complex patterns formed by many coming together<i>.</i>\r\n\r\nThis means it\'s important to be especially aware and responsible when connecting with others. As best as you can, get present and ask yourself: What am I bringing forth? What are my intentions? What is in my heart that longs to be expressed? Do I have the courage to stand in my authentic self-expression?\r\n\r\nIf we want to see a greater shift in the world at large (an Aquarian concern), we must each do our own part and express our unique gifts (Leo’s imperative). That said, if we don\'t come from the heart --<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> or if we get stuck in over-thinking things and/or being overly concerned with what other people are thinking -- we will not be able to fulfill on that vision.</span>\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> makes a Quincunx to Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>. </i>This might bring some internal discomfort; we need to make inner adjustments here. It nudges us to tune into our intuition, and create from a place of love rather than fear.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What if it were possible to get really in tune with my intuitive feeling body <i>and</i> express myself fully, with courage and without compromise? Might an introverted approach like that serve my extroverted, unique expression of Self? How can I transform lower vibrational feelings? For example, how might I transform fear into love? What approach might support such a transformation?\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun (ruler of Leo) in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> conjoins the South Node and Venus in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>. </i>This reminds us that each one of us has an electromagnetic field, and are an integral part of a much larger field, where our thoughts, growth, and actions interweave and affect the course of humanity. Together, we are exponentially more powerful.\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) is currently in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>. It\'s making a Square to Pluto and Mercury in </i><b><i>Capricorn.</i></b><i> </i>We are invited to be more honest with ourselves and others (especially about our fears and desires), and to pay attention to our thinking patterns, especially in regards to achieving things out there in the world.\r\n\r\nIn fact, you could say we are being invited to bring an innovative approach to who we are \"out there in the world\" -- and to our interactions with others… In other words: To step it up -- and walk our unique path. To inspire others. Life is too short to waste on things we are less than fully passionate about, that don\'t fully express our uniqueness.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What is being radically transformed in my life? Where am I being invited to confront outdated thought-forms? What\'s the relationship between my inner teenager and my inner adult?\r\n\r\nPluto represents the courage it takes to face our shadows and fears -- and if we can do that, we can discover our true motivations, desires -- and our true power. What do I get obsessed about? What scares me the most, when it comes to fully committing to things I feel passionate about?\r\n\r\nTake a look back at situations that felt disempowering -- and at situations that evoked some sort of helpless fury. When in the past have I given my power away to others, especially authority figures? Was it really about me? What did I choose in that moment?\r\n\r\n<i>Saturn (the traditional ruler of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>) currently in its own sign. </i>Here is a quote that fits really beautifully with this energy: <i>\"The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift of life is yours—it’s an amazing journey, and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. Your journey is determined by the choices you make. Your answers are determined by the questions you ask. Your destination is determined by the steps you take. Your future is determined by what you do today.\"</i> -- Dan Zadra\r\n\r\nWe are also encouraged during this Full Moon to acknowledge that we are all in this together, and that each one of us has the ability to effect change by tapping into our courage, and living our vision in every moment -- and this takes dropping into our hearts more fully.\r\n\r\nFor this <i>Full SuperBlue Moon/Lunar Eclipse</i> you could ask yourself these questions too: How might I learn about self-love? What if I chose to love the world as if it was a reflection of my heart and soul? What if I did that while expressing my unique soul-self, my unique spirit? Where do the inner and the outer experiences of love and connectedness meet?\r\n\r\nFlexibility, thinking outside the box, and self-care are critical during Eclipse season! Self-care is particularly important in times of stress and/or change — basic things, like making sure that we eat healthily and regularly, drink plenty of water, exercise, get plentiful rest -- and allow affection in from friends, family, or pets. Connecting to what feels supportive in order to stay grounded and regenerate ourselves can be very helpful as well.\r\n\r\nThere are so many more aspects we could talk about with this Lunar Eclipse chart, I\'d need an hour-and-a-half to cover it all — and that\'s just what I\'ll be doing during the 90-minute Monthly Forecasting Forum on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time)<b> </b><a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">click here to register</a>: <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ</a>) :-)\r\n\r\nThis <i>Lunar Eclipse</i> shows us that there is always work to be done -- and there\'s no need to get overwhelmed by that, because we all have the power to do it. All we have to do is look into our own heart and see the strength and love lying there. Ask yourself: Where could I be the voice? Where could I be or become the visionary? What if I accepted that I am the hero/heroine of my story? What is my role at this pivotal time?\r\n\r\nRemember: No effort is too small, no step too modest... And most important of all, perhaps: it\'s never too late to be the one who makes a difference -- especially when it comes from the heart and feels authentic!\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, trust that you have what it takes to make a difference for yourself and others. <i>And </i><a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/Lunar+Eclipse.aspx\">if you’d like to learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video</a>.\r\n\r\nA final note about Eclipses: they\'re consciousness upgrades, so for 7 - 10 days before and after one, we are usually in uncharted territory -- anything is possible and it\'s wise to expect the unexpected. Anything <i>brand-new</i> started during this time will likely not pan out the way we thought it would, often because important information comes to light only after Eclipse season is over.\r\n\r\nFor that reason, try to defer any major brand-new projects until after Feb. 25th, when this particular Eclipse season ends. That said, if something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic, allow it to “be”... Just be wary of the urge to push something forward merely to relieve anxiety or impatience.\r\n\r\nAllow for the upgrade to download, staying centered and doing your best to \"ground\" from within -- try using conscious breathing, and regard flexibility as a tool. Best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body…\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point or personal planets in 6-17 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo, Aquarius, Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>?

It\'s considered the bridge between the limitations of the physical and the unlimited nature of the non-physical (or spiritual) world. Often referred to as the \"Wounded Healer\", it reminds us of our humanity -- and guides us to see it as a gift.\r\n\r\nWhen we take responsibility for our human limitations and move past seeing them as \"wrong\" or \"bad\", our inner gifts and uniqueness can emerge more completely and powerfully.\r\n\r\n<strong>Let\'s look now at Chiron in Aries:</strong> The day after Chiron moves into <strong>Aries</strong>,...\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>ALREADY A MEMBER? Log into your ​Member\'s ​account and keep reading!</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong> NOT A MEMBER yet? GET IT ALL!

This points to the possibility that Chiron\'s journey through <strong>Aries</strong> will place a strong emphasis on liberation of the self.\r\n\r\nChiron in <strong>Aries</strong> is all about the wounded warrior, the Healer-Hero that emerges from a Warrior\'s healing journey. The healing path consists of seeing, acknowledging, embracing, and finally loving ourselves just as we are: physically, emotionally  and spiritually -- especially when it comes to our personal goals, leadership and inspirational abilities, our ability to take action, our \"masculine\" drive.\r\n\r\nBroadly speaking, then: our capacity to go after what we desire...\r\n\r\nWe get to see that we all have the ability to heal, and be healed, through our actions. Each of us can step into our inner healer in our own unique way.\r\n\r\n<strong>You can ask yourself:</strong> What is the next step on the path of healing for my inner child, my inner wounding? How were my ancestors wounded around \"the masculine\"? What step can I personally take on that healing path?\r\n\r\nChiron in <strong>Aries</strong> also has us look at some of the following: How we express our anger (or how we do not express it), how we might further heal our relationship to our body (this includes sexuality, gender, etc.) and our personal desires; how we do or do not take initiative, display courage, and practice self-determination.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask:</strong> What would a healthy sense of identity, independence, and willpower enable me to do? Might accepting my limitations lead to unique ways to move with those energies? What makes me an individual? What are my unique desires and goals?\r\n\r\nThere is also an emphasis on injuries (especially head injuries), physical flaws, issues around anger and assertion of our anger, impatience, being ok with who we are. All of these issues could feel sensitive and fire off our \"triggers\" or bring up shame.\r\n\r\nOne thing is for sure: Chiron in Aries will show us a new perspective and will open new doors of healing for us -- likely a physically active Healing Journey. To the extent that this transit highlights our leadership abilities, the journey is toward becoming a different kind of leader, a non-traditional one.\r\n\r\n<strong>This question lies at the heart of that journey:</strong> How do we channel our masculine energy?\r\n\r\nThis is a very important question, if we are to become a conscious, holistic warrior. Picture the film actors Bruce Lee, Jet Li, or Michelle Yeah -- they are consciously connecting the active physical with the emotional and spiritual -- through martial arts in their case -- you might also picture a great practitioner of Yoga -- we\'re talking here about a conscious, holistic relationship to physical dynamics.\r\n\r\nWhat do we see in great practitioners of these arts?\r\n\r\nAmong other things, they seem to understand that impatience is wanting to move faster than what is required in the now moment.\r\n\r\nThey take responsibility for their triggers around reactivity, impatience, aggression, inconsiderate leadership, etc. and have an understanding for where it comes from (ancestors history, childhood) and what the impact is on others.\r\n\r\nThey look for unique ways to express themselves and channel those energies in a healthy way, sometimes in a new, non-traditional way. They ask \"What might be the alternatives here?\"\r\n\r\nThey are compassionate with themselves and others when it comes to expressing masculine energies.\r\n\r\nLike them, <em>this journey of Chiron through <strong>Aries</strong></em> is not about aggression, but rather assertiveness. For all of us, whatever our starting point, it is also about acknowledging and embracing limitations around anger. We also need an open, compassionate awareness as to whether we are responding or \"reacting\" to our circumstances.\r\n\r\nAs we develop understanding for our inner \"wounded\" child and our \"human\" limitations (in parallel with the above) we build a space for compassion. In fact, I recommend you celebrate your limitations. Why? Because that means you are compassionately aware of them -- and awareness is always the first step towards healing.\r\n\r\nWalking these paths can continually recreate us as leaders with an holistic approach and a healing, compassionate presence.\r\n\r\n[/wcm_restrict]\r\n\r\nWere you born between April 1968 and May 1976? Or Oct. 1976 - March 1977? If the answer is yes, you have Chiron in Aries in your natal chart, and will have a Chiron Return within the next 8-9 years. This means that one cycle of your Healing Journey is coming to an end, and a new one is beginning: you are getting a chance at leaving the past behind, and moving forward with greater acceptance of your own humanity.\r\n\r\nIs your natal Chiron in the first House of your Birth chart?

This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s therefore an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas. </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-3628364\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-3628366\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">Moon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can therefore be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-3628367\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-3628369\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">Manipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so as best you can, be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are. </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-3628370\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-3628372\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">Know thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free.

So much going on...\r\n\r\nFirstly, the Moon remains in relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking Libra all day. It will journey there until Tuesday afternoon, where it will help us be naturally courteous and diplomatic -- we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the last Quarter Moon (which, will be exact Monday early evening...)\r\n\r\nMonday morning, an opportune Sun/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 7:07am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday. We might want to take advantage of the opportunities this aspect provides -- it\'s an excellent time for creating deeper intimate connections, resolving conflicts with others, having fun and boosting our self-confidence. In fact, we may well feel particularly vital and confident -- and inner optimism can bring rewards.\r\n\r\nHumor can be a big part of this aspect too: We are able to laugh whole-heartedly, and see nothing but possibility in our lives, especially in our intimate relationships and our shared resources with others. This could bring a healthy shift of attitude toward our relationships -- whether personal or business.\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\nImagine you have a special lens which showed you the \"bigger picture\"... What would your relationships look like when you gazed through it?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in 16-20 degrees of Capricorn, Scorpio, Virgo or Pisces? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Sagittarius (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).\r\n\r\nMonday late morning, an opportune Venus/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 11:13am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday evening on; it will remain strong until this Tuesday night. We have an opportunity to grow in our social and personal relationships at this time. Humor and caring play a big role in our interactions with others.\r\n\r\nWe can call upon tolerance, optimism and co-operation when dealing with loved ones or business relationships now. Financially speaking, things are \"on the up\"; we may have opportunities now to expand our pocketbooks -- if we make sound decisions that are in the interest of everyone involved.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-20 degrees of Capricorn, Scorpio, Virgo or Pisces? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Sagittarius (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).\r\n\r\nMonday afternoon, an opportune Mars/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 2:59pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Friday evening on; it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. This brings an opportunity to connect our personal passions to our Soul\'s passions. We are resourceful and persistent when pursuing a goal, bringing tremendous effort and focus to bear.\r\n\r\nThis is an opportunity to be committed, determined and passionate, with no half-measures; it\'s also an opportunity to feel more confident about our own talents. Strategic thinking and execution is favored right now, as is eliminating waste around time and energy. Remember though: An \"opportunity\" is just an opening, it\'s not automatically granted -- we have to \"step up\" to the opening, then through it...\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-21 degrees of Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces  or Virgo? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aries or Scorpio (Mars is the ruler of Aries, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Mars\'s movements and aspects; Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)\r\n\r\nMonday early evening, at 5:25pm EST, the last Quarter Moon in 18.5 degrees of Libra becomes exact. We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Libra Sunday morning. The Moon in relationship-oriented, harmony-loving Libra makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in ambitious, goal-oriented Capricorn.\r\n\r\nThis may bring up some challenges. However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed. This Moon phase brings us closer to Jan 16th, which will bring the New Moon in Capricorn.\r\n\r\nWith the last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us take a look at what was started around the time of the last New Moon -- in this case, around Dec. 18th. We now have about a week to wrap those projects up. What -- if anything -- needs last-minute adjustments? What did you discover since Dec. 18th? What did it mean for you?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally or with others).\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-21 degrees of Libra, Capricorn, Aries or Cancer? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s last Quarter Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer, since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (Jan. 9th)</strong> is just as busy as Monday -- astrologically speaking: the Moon remains in relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking Libra until 3:05pm EST (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\nTuesday very early morning, a Sun/Venus alignment in almost 20 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 2:02am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday (Jan. 6th) night on; it will remain strong until this Friday night.  We are motivated to strike a balance in our relationships and our career environment. If you have negotiations going on at this time, it’s very likely they will go smoothly.\r\n\r\nGraciousness, diplomacy, charm, and a healthy dose of realism: This is a good period for social affairs, pleasure, amusement, and romance, especially if it\'s about building something concrete and long-term, something traditional or something connected to status and expertise.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 17-23 degrees of Capricorn, Aries, Libra or Cancer? If so, you may be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Leo (the Sun rules Leo; Venus rules Taurus and Libra)\r\n\r\nTuesday early morning, a Venus/Pluto alignment in 19 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 4:03am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday (Jan. 6th) evening on; it will remain strong until this Thursday. This alignment brings out our passionate side. We uncompromisingly seek deep, totally authentic connections with others.\r\n\r\nOur instincts are very strong right now, our inner wolf is wide-awake, and we can sniff out any unclean intentions right away. As best as you can, be completely truthful about your motivations and needs – if you try to duck this, it could get ugly, since everyone knows what everyone else is up to anyway.\r\n\r\nWhat if you took 100% responsibility for getting what you want and need? What is the highest path to achieve that? As best as you can, find creative solutions and remain flexible. And as always when Pluto is involved, choose the power of love over the power of fear -- whenever possible.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 16-22 degrees of Capricorn, Aries, Cancer or Libra? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Scorpio (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Pluto rules Scorpio)\r\n\r\nTuesday early morning, a Sun/Pluto alignment in 19 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 4:33am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday (Jan. 6th) morning on; it will remain strong until this Thursday night. This alignment asks of us that we reclaim our authority and make some fundamental changes in our world.\r\n\r\nSome of the structures that we built in the past may no longer be solid; they must fall now, to be replaced with something that empowers us. It is necessary to redefine feminine and masculine “powers”. What do you need to acknowledge or embrace? What is rejected or ignored? If you truly had choice in the matter, what kind of future would you want to step into?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 16-22 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries or Libra? If so, you may be more affected by this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Scorpio (the Sun is the ruler of Leo; Pluto rules Scorpio)\r\n\r\nTuesday at 11:13am EST, we enter a Moon void of course (VoC). that lasts for almost 4 hours, until 3:05pm EST. Use this intuitive time to collaborate with others and share your life philosophy. As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday (late morning until the mid-afternoon) ahead of time ;-) (Moon sextiles Mercury in Sagittarius)\r\n\r\nTuesday at 3:05pm EST, the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio, where it will journey until Thursday late morning. We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s therefore an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can therefore be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so as best you can, be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\nTuesday late afternoon, an opportune Venus/Mars aspect becomes exact at 4:08pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday (Jan. 6th) night on; it will remain strong until this Friday evening.  This aspect helps intimate or business relationships along, bringing passion and/or sexiness to them -- and if we\'re not in a long-term committed relationship, we\'ll get some help in forming one.\r\n\r\nThis could also be a good time for financial ventures, social life, artistic pursuits, and pleasure in general. Remember: this is an \"opportunity\" -- those aren\'t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in 18-22 degrees of Capricorn, Scorpio, Pisces or Virgo? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Aries (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars is the ruler of Aries)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (Jan. 10th)</strong>: the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio all day (see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\nWednesday very early morning, an opportune Sun/Mars aspect becomes exact at 12:36am EST. We started to feel this aspect from Monday on; it will remain strong until this Friday. Many of us feel an inner joy now -- when planning and achieving; now is a good time to link this to our intuition and instincts.\r\n\r\nOur self-confidence and self-esteem can get a boost: we feel we can meet life on life\'s terms and stand up for ourselves (and our point of view) without becoming hostile or confrontational.\r\n\r\nWe have to “take” opportunities, and this one is no exception: It requires we take action. What if there was a single, really simple action step, that would feel almost effortless?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of Capricorn, Scorpio, Pisces or Virgo? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Aries (the Sun rules Leo; Mars is the ruler of Aries)\r\n\r\nWednesday at 11:40am EST, Mercury\'s Shadow Phase ends. As you may recall, on Dec. 22nd, when Mercury stationed direct, I mentioned Mercury shadow phases as well: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it\'s best to avoid the periods shortly before and after Mercury goes retrograde. This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.)\r\n\r\nThe good news is, this shadow phase ends today, when Mercury reaches 29º18\' of Sagittarius. This means that we can finally go ahead and book those plane tickets -- or buy that new car or iPhone (or anything else communication- or transportation-related). We can also more easily take in new information, so teaching, sharing and learning will be more effective. Click here to read my blog on the subject.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (Jan. 11th)</strong>: the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio all day (see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\nWednesday night/Thursday very early morning, at 12:09am EST, Mercury changes signs from optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius to practical, accomplishment-oriented, status-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Jan. 31st.\r\n\r\nThis is a time when our minds like to make concrete plans for the future. A systematic, practical approach to reaching our goals is now favored; we are good at focusing on practical matters and getting down to the essentials.\r\n\r\nWe do not waste any words at this time -- what we say is truthful and to the point. We see reality very clearly now -- and it might not look as rosy as we thought. As best as you can, use this time to get in touch with what\'s real in your life -- without going down the \"rabbit hole\" of pessimistic inadequacy ;-)\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini or Virgo? If so, you will be more serious and possible more eager to accomplish concrete goals. Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in Capricorn? If so, you will most likely feel more chatty for the next 3 weeks.\r\n\r\nThursday at 9:53am EST, we enter a Moon void of course (VoC). that lasts for a little over 16 hours, until Friday (Jan. 12th) at 2:04am EST. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others on an authentic level. What if you let yourself trust others in the mutual pursuit of realistic, practical goals?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday (late morning, all the way through the night) ahead of time ;-) (Moon sextiles Venus in Capricorn)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (Jan. 12th):</strong> the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio and VoC until 2:04am EST (see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\nFriday at 2:04am EST, the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius, where it will journey until Sunday afternoon. We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence, which means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, than take orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (Jan. 13th)</strong>: the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius all day (see Friday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\nSaturday very early morning, a Mercury/Saturn alignment in almost 3 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 2:03am EST. We started to feel this aspect from Wednesday evening on; it will remain strong until Monday (Jan. 15th). This connection strengthens our ability to make realistic decisions connected to our need for achievement and mastery. We are more able to come from a place of integrity and maturity when planning anything long-term.\r\n\r\nWe prefer to have serious conversations with others that move us forward, closer to a common goal. It\'s an excellent period for reviewing, reassessing, perfecting, and improving our thinking patterns, long-term goals, and path towards mastery. Even though we might have a more negative or critical outlook initially, this alignment serves the purpose of reaching a balanced, mature, and realistic state.\r\n\r\nDue to Mercury\'s retrograde phase, we have already experienced this aspect several times over the past 7 weeks -- making this alignment more important this time around. Think back to Nov. 28th and Dec. 6th, 2017. In what ways did you need to slow down and take a more serious look at a situation in your life?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in 0-6 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries or Libra? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo or Capricorn (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).\r\n\r\nSaturday very early morning, around 2am EST, the Balsamic Moon phase begins when the Moon reaches 12º of Sagittarius. This lasts until Tuesday evening, when the New Moon in Capricorn becomes exact (more on that next week...however, feel free to watch my video on the subject -- will be posted by Friday, Jan. 12th).\r\n\r\nWe are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our inner sensing/intuition. For some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes.\r\n\r\nThis is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?\r\n\r\nSaturday early afternoon, a challenging Venus/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 2:09pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from Wednesday night on; it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening (Jan. 15th). This \"stretch aspect\" asks us to grow beyond what we know and have experienced in the past in regards to our relationships, especially business relations.\r\n\r\nPriorities may shift. We may experience clashes of taste or values with business partners; as you can imagine, we may feel some instability or restlessness in connection to others. We may also struggle with freedom versus material safety -- the latter manifesting as fears around financial goals.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take a deep breath and hold off on decision-making with regards to finances -- in particular, it is best to avoid impulse buys at this time.\r\n\r\nIn general, expect the unexpected: Things may take a different turn when it comes to the truly important. Keep your mind and heart open: if something demands elimination or change, it was waiting for that shift to happen anyway. As best as you can, find creative solutions and stay flexible and adaptable. This is not the best time to take things too personally (but then again, is there ever a good time for that? :-)\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 21-28 degrees of Capricorn, Aries, Libra, or Cancer? If so, you may be more affected by this aspect. The same is true for those with their Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Aquarius (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Uranus rules Aquarius)\r\n\r\nSaturday late evening, an opportune Venus/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 9:52pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from this Friday on; it will remain strong until next week, Monday (Jan. 15th) . It\'s an opportunity to bring healing to our wounds around relationships or our sense of self-worth.\r\n\r\nWe get a chance to love ourselves and heal deep fears of not being \"good enough\". Healing happens much faster when we can open to forgiving ourselves and others. As best as you can, bring compassion and understanding to yourself, to others, and to those past experiences that wounded you.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of Capricorn, Pisces, Scorpio or Taurus? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus or Libra (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra)\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (Jan. 14th):</strong> the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius until 2:42pm EST (see Friday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\nSunday at 3:48am EST, we enter a Moon void of course (VoC). that lasts for almost 11 hours, until 2:42pm EST. This intuitive time could serve as an opportunity to connect to like-minded people and learn something new about your unique self. How wide could your vision for humanity become?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday (until the mid-afternoon) ahead of time ;-) (Moon trines Uranus in Aries)\r\n\r\nSunday at 2:42pm EST, the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Wednesday very early morning (Jan. 17th). We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, be truthful with yourself about where you are at: Do you actually have a realistic view about what is so, right now, in your life? Not what you wish it to be or what you would like it to be or where you see yourself going.... What is so right now? Once you know where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\", whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\nSunday afternoon, a challenging Sun/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 3:45pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from Friday evening on; it will remain strong until next Wednesday (Jan. 17th).  Disrupted routines and plans, especially around career and business, are quite likely; this calls for flexibility and creative solutions.\r\n\r\nDuring this transit, we feel a great need to make progress, as we feel quite restless -- maybe even anxious -- but if we\'re unclear on what actions are in our best interest, we might act in ways that don\'t serve us in the long run.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go with the flow and stay open to experiencing something new and wonderfully unexpected; if you can, put off making major decisions for the time being... \"haste makes waste\" during this aspect ;-)\r\n\r\nYou can think of this as \"reorganizing\" time -- like rearranging your furniture -- try not to resist the reorganization. Enjoy the ride… and remember: it only feels uncomfortable because it’s new and different. Could you allow yourself to be comfortable with being uncomfortable?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 21-28 degrees of Cancer, Aries, Libra, Capricorn or 0-1 degrees Leo, Taurus, Aquarius or Scorpio? If so, you may be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aquarius or Leo (the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius)\r\n\r\nAlso on Sunday, Uranus resumes its normal pace through the sky, ending its station. What has come up in the last four weeks around radical change, personal freedom, and needing to individuate? How closely are you in touch with your personal vision for life?\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (Jan. 15th):</strong> The Moon remains in Capricorn all day (see Sunday afternoon for details). In very early morning, an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 1:59am EST. We started to feel this aspect from Friday night on; it will remain strong until this Tuesday morning. In late evening, a long-term, opportune Jupiter/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 11:13pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from Tuesday (Jan. 3rd) on; it will remain strong until Wednesday (Jan. 31st).

As we do this, we can open more to joy, and be more playful.\r\n\r\nLunar Eclipses generally direct our attention to our \"emotional body” and our relationships; they also connect us more fully to our Soul’s journey (as shown by the Moon Nodes). This particular Eclipse focuses on the relationship between the individual (<b>Leo</b>) and the collective (<b>Aquarius</b>).\r\n\r\nWe become aware of what has been suppressed or ignored -- or, this being a North Node Eclipse, what needs to be embraced, integrated and explored -- in regards to the <b>Leo</b> energy.\r\n\r\nIt\'s been 19 years since we experienced a Lunar Eclipse in this degree... Think back to Jan. 31st, 1999: What did I need to open my heart to back then? What became more clear at that time, in regards to exploring joy? Was I able to get in touch with my inner child?\r\n\r\nThis is the third Lunar Eclipse in a 23-month cycle of Eclipses, all connected to the <b>Leo/Aquarius</b> polarity; the cycle in question began in February 2017 with a Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b> and will last until Jan. 2019, ending with yet another Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b>.\r\n\r\nThink back to February of last year: What started shifting for me, in my attitudes towards the collective (or \"humanity\")? How about like-minded people? Was there likewise a shift in my desire for more joy? Self-expression? Heartfelt actions? If I think back to the last Solar Eclipse in Leo from August 21st, 2017, what has brought the possibility for more joy into my life?\r\n\r\nLife-changing revelations are more likely over the next two weeks — and with them, shifts in our consciousness — and the impact of an Eclipse\'s energy also lasts longer than a regular Lunation (anywhere from 6 months to 2 years!)\r\n\r\nI will talk about the upcoming Eclipses in more detail in my next Forecasting Forum — if you want to know how the Eclipses are going to impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up, to our own birth charts. The Forum will be live on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time); for more info or to register, <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">click here</a>: <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ</a>\r\n\r\nThis particular Eclipse focuses on authentic self-expression and creativity. Ask yourself: What might open up if I expressed myself with my heart as my center? With more courage? If I were too much in my head, what would tip me off to that? What might my world look like, if I allowed my light to shine just a little brighter?\r\n\r\nWe are also invited to allow head and heart to merge, bringing about a brighter future for humankind -- what would it look like if I allowed that merger? What if I chose, right here and now, to contribute to humanity from a courageous, heart-centered and authentic place? What if I simply chose that, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>Leo</b> represents our individual expression, the kind of light we came to shine, joy we came to spread. <b>Leo</b> is the sign of individual creativity; <b>Aquarius</b> represents the power of collaboration, where the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts. <b>Aquarius</b>, connects us to the complex patterns formed by many coming together<i>.</i>\r\n\r\nThis means it\'s important to be especially aware and responsible when connecting with others. As best as you can, get present and ask yourself: What am I bringing forth? What are my intentions? What is in my heart that longs to be expressed? Do I have the courage to stand in my authentic self-expression?\r\n\r\nIf we want to see a greater shift in the world at large (an Aquarian concern), we must each do our own part and express our unique gifts (Leo’s imperative). That said, if we don\'t come from the heart -- or if we get stuck in over-thinking things and/or being overly concerned with what other people are thinking -- we will not be able to fulfill on that vision.\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> makes a Quincunx to Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>. </i>This might bring some internal discomfort; we need to make inner adjustments here. It nudges us to tune into our intuition, and create from a place of love rather than fear.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What if it were possible to get really in tune with my intuitive feeling body <i>and</i> express myself fully, with courage and without compromise? Might an introverted approach like that serve my extroverted, unique expression of Self? How can I transform lower vibrational feelings? For example, how might I transform fear into love? What approach might support such a transformation?\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun (ruler of Leo) in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> conjoins the South Node and Venus in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>. </i>This reminds us that each one of us has an electromagnetic field, and are an integral part of a much larger field, where our thoughts, growth, and actions interweave and affect the course of humanity.

No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift of life is yours—it’s an amazing journey, and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. Your journey is determined by the choices you make. Your answers are determined by the questions you ask. Your destination is determined by the steps you take. Your future is determined by what you do today.\"</i> -- Dan Zadra\r\n\r\nWe are also encouraged during this Full Moon to acknowledge that we are all in this together, and that each one of us has the ability to effect change by tapping into our courage, and living our vision in every moment -- and this takes dropping into our hearts more fully.\r\n\r\nFor this <i>Full SuperBlue Moon/Lunar Eclipse</i> you could ask yourself these questions too: How might I learn about self-love? What if I chose to love the world as if it was a reflection of my heart and soul? What if I did that while expressing my unique soul-self, my unique spirit? Where do the inner and the outer experiences of love and connectedness meet?\r\n\r\nFlexibility, thinking outside the box, and self-care are critical during Eclipse season! Self-care is particularly important in times of stress and/or change — basic things, like making sure that we eat healthily and regularly, drink plenty of water, exercise, get plentiful rest -- and allow affection in from friends, family, or pets. Connecting to what feels supportive in order to stay grounded and regenerate ourselves can be very helpful as well.\r\n\r\nThere are so many more aspects we could talk about with this Lunar Eclipse chart, I\'d need an hour-and-a-half to cover it all — and that\'s just what I\'ll be doing during the 90-minute Monthly Forecasting Forum on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time)<b> </b><a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">click here to register</a>: <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ</a>) :-)\r\n\r\nThis <i>Lunar Eclipse</i> shows us that there is always work to be done -- and there\'s no need to get overwhelmed by that, because we all have the power to do it. All we have to do is look into our own heart and see the strength and love lying there. Ask yourself: Where could I be the voice? Where could I be or become the visionary? What if I accepted that I am the hero/heroine of my story? What is my role at this pivotal time?\r\n\r\nRemember: No effort is too small, no step too modest... And most important of all, perhaps: it\'s never too late to be the one who makes a difference -- especially when it comes from the heart and feels authentic!\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, trust that you have what it takes to make a difference for yourself and others. <i>And </i><a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/Lunar+Eclipse.aspx\">if you’d like to learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video</a>.\r\n\r\nA final note about Eclipses: they\'re consciousness upgrades, so for 7 - 10 days before and after one, we are usually in uncharted territory -- anything is possible and it\'s wise to expect the unexpected. Anything <i>brand-new</i> started during this time will likely not pan out the way we thought it would, often because important information comes to light only after Eclipse season is over.\r\n\r\nFor that reason, try to defer any major brand-new projects until after Feb. 25th, when this particular Eclipse season ends. That said, if something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic, allow it to “be”... Just be wary of the urge to push something forward merely to relieve anxiety or impatience.\r\n\r\nAllow for the upgrade to download, staying centered and doing your best to \"ground\" from within -- try using conscious breathing, and regard flexibility as a tool. Best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body…\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point or personal planets in 6-17 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo, Aquarius, Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>?

As we do this, we can open more to joy, and be more playful.\r\n\r\nLunar Eclipses generally direct our attention to our \"emotional body” and our relationships; they also connect us more fully to our Soul’s journey (as shown by the Moon Nodes). This particular Eclipse focuses on the relationship between the individual (<b>Leo</b>) and the collective (<b>Aquarius</b>).\r\n\r\nWe become aware of what has been suppressed or ignored -- or, this being a North Node Eclipse, what needs to be embraced, integrated and explored -- in regards to the <b>Leo</b> energy.\r\n\r\nIt\'s been 19 years since we experienced a Lunar Eclipse in this degree... Think back to Jan. 31st, 1999: What did I need to open my heart to back then? What became more clear at that time, in regards to exploring joy? Was I able to get in touch with my inner child?\r\n\r\nThis is the third Lunar Eclipse in a 23-month cycle of Eclipses, all connected to the <b>Leo/Aquarius</b> polarity; the cycle in question began in February 2017 with a Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b> and will last until Jan. 2019, ending with yet another Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b>.\r\n\r\nThink back to February of last year: What started shifting for me, in my attitudes towards the collective (or \"humanity\")?

As we do this, we can open more to joy, and be more playful.\r\n\r\nLunar Eclipses generally direct our attention to our \"emotional body” and our relationships; they also connect us more fully to our Soul’s journey (as shown by the Moon Nodes). This particular Eclipse focuses on the relationship between the individual (<b>Leo</b>) and the collective (<b>Aquarius</b>).\r\n\r\nWe become aware of what has been suppressed or ignored -- or, this being a North Node Eclipse, what needs to be embraced, integrated and explored -- in regards to the <b>Leo</b> energy.\r\n\r\nIt\'s been 19 years since we experienced a Lunar Eclipse in this degree... Think back to Jan. 31st, 1999: What did I need to open my heart to back then? What became more clear at that time, in regards to exploring joy? Was I able to get in touch with my inner child?\r\n\r\nThis is the third Lunar Eclipse in a 23-month cycle of Eclipses, all connected to the <b>Leo/Aquarius</b> polarity; the cycle in question began in February 2017 with a Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b> and will last until Jan. 2019, ending with yet another Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b>.\r\n\r\nThink back to February of last year: What started shifting for me, in my attitudes towards the collective (or \"humanity\")? How about like-minded people? Was there likewise a shift in my desire for more joy? Self-expression? Heartfelt actions? If I think back to the last Solar Eclipse in Leo from August 21st, 2017, what has brought the possibility for more joy into my life?\r\n\r\nLife-changing revelations are more likely over the next two weeks — and with them, shifts in our consciousness — and the impact of an Eclipse\'s energy also lasts longer than a regular Lunation (anywhere from 6 months to 2 years!)\r\n\r\nI will talk about the upcoming Eclipses in more detail in my next Forecasting Forum — if you want to know how the Eclipses are going to impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up, to our own birth charts. The Forum will be live on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time); for more info or to register, <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">click here</a>: <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ</a>\r\n\r\nThis particular Eclipse focuses on authentic self-expression and creativity. Ask yourself: What might open up if I expressed myself with my heart as my center? With more courage? If I were too much in my head, what would tip me off to that? What might my world look like, if I allowed my light to shine just a little brighter?\r\n\r\nWe are also invited to allow head and heart to merge, bringing about a brighter future for humankind -- what would it look like if I allowed that merger? What if I chose, right here and now, to contribute to humanity from a courageous, heart-centered and authentic place? What if I simply chose that, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>Leo</b> represents our individual expression, the kind of light we came to shine, joy we came to spread. <b>Leo</b> is the sign of individual creativity; <b>Aquarius</b> represents the power of collaboration, where the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts. <b>Aquarius</b>, connects us to the complex patterns formed by many coming together<i>.</i>\r\n\r\nThis means it\'s important to be especially aware and responsible when connecting with others. As best as you can, get present and ask yourself: What am I bringing forth? What are my intentions? What is in my heart that longs to be expressed? Do I have the courage to stand in my authentic self-expression?\r\n\r\nIf we want to see a greater shift in the world at large (an Aquarian concern), we must each do our own part and express our unique gifts (Leo’s imperative). That said, if we don\'t come from the heart -- or if we get stuck in over-thinking things and/or being overly concerned with what other people are thinking -- we will not be able to fulfill on that vision.\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> makes a Quincunx to Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>. </i>This might bring some internal discomfort; we need to make inner adjustments here. It nudges us to tune into our intuition, and create from a place of love rather than fear.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What if it were possible to get really in tune with my intuitive feeling body <i>and</i> express myself fully, with courage and without compromise? Might an introverted approach like that serve my extroverted, unique expression of Self? How can I transform lower vibrational feelings? For example, how might I transform fear into love? What approach might support such a transformation?\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun (ruler of Leo) in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> conjoins the South Node and Venus in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>. </i>This reminds us that each one of us has an electromagnetic field, and are an integral part of a much larger field, where our thoughts, growth, and actions interweave and affect the course of humanity. Together, we are exponentially more powerful.\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) is currently in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>. It\'s making a Square to Pluto and Mercury in </i><b><i>Capricorn.</i></b><i> </i>We are invited to be more honest with ourselves and others (especially about our fears and desires), and to pay attention to our thinking patterns, especially in regards to achieving things out there in the world.\r\n\r\nIn fact, you could say we are being invited to bring an innovative approach to who we are \"out there in the world\" -- and to our interactions with others… In other words: To step it up -- and walk our unique path. To inspire others. Life is too short to waste on things we are less than fully passionate about, that don\'t fully express our uniqueness.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What is being radically transformed in my life? Where am I being invited to confront outdated thought-forms? What\'s the relationship between my inner teenager and my inner adult?\r\n\r\nPluto represents the courage it takes to face our shadows and fears -- and if we can do that, we can discover our true motivations, desires -- and our true power. What do I get obsessed about? What scares me the most, when it comes to fully committing to things I feel passionate about?\r\n\r\nTake a look back at situations that felt disempowering -- and at situations that evoked some sort of helpless fury. When in the past have I given my power away to others, especially authority figures? Was it really about me? What did I choose in that moment?\r\n\r\n<i>Saturn (the traditional ruler of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>) currently in its own sign. </i>Here is a quote that fits really beautifully with this energy: <i>\"The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift of life is yours—it’s an amazing journey, and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. Your journey is determined by the choices you make. Your answers are determined by the questions you ask. Your destination is determined by the steps you take. Your future is determined by what you do today.\"</i> -- Dan Zadra\r\n\r\nWe are also encouraged during this Full Moon to acknowledge that we are all in this together, and that each one of us has the ability to effect change by tapping into our courage, and living our vision in every moment -- and this takes dropping into our hearts more fully.\r\n\r\nFor this <i>Full SuperBlue Moon/Lunar Eclipse</i> you could ask yourself these questions too: How might I learn about self-love?

The energy of the Aries Moon bears on starting something new.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our gut impulses are strong; we feel energetic, spontaneous, enthusiastic and brave -- and perhaps impatient and impulsive. Excess energy is best channeled into physical activity.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Monday at 1:27am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><b><i>,</i></b> where it will journey <b>until Monday early evening</b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Also on <strong>Monday</strong>, it\'s <em>time to actions on our New Moon intentions</em>: if you set Intentions Tuesday night, Wednesday or Thursday of last week -- after the New Moon became exact -- today will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively.

We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.

We have tremendous mental focus — which could tip into obsession. Choose love over fear whenever possible.

The energy of the Aries Moon bears on starting something new.\r\n\r\nOur gut impulses are strong; we feel energetic, spontaneous, enthusiastic and brave -- and perhaps impatient and impulsive. Excess energy is best channeled into physical activity.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 1:27am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><b><i>,</i></b> where it will journey <b>until Monday early evening</b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Monday</strong>, it\'s <em>time to actions on our New Moon intentions</em>: if you set Intentions Tuesday night, Wednesday or Thursday of last week -- after the New Moon became exact -- today will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (January 23rd):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced <strong>Aries</strong></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 11:16pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 9.5 hours,<strong> until 8:39am EST (Wednesday morning).</strong> Use this intuitive time to...

The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (January 27th)</strong>: <i>the</i> <i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> </i><b>all day</b> (see Friday early afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday morning:</strong> we are asked to connect with others, socialize, and share information with them. Then, <strong>in the later morning</strong>, we are required to make some adjustments -- and we may need to do a little stretching and growing, when it comes to our inner or emotional experiences. As best as you can, be gentle with yourself and others, seek to understand before seeking to be understood.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday night</strong>/Sunday very early morning, <em>a challenging Mercury/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:08am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Friday morning on; it will remain strong until next week Monday night (Jan. 29th). </strong>This aspect creates some tension in our lives: We may feel anxious or stressed by a situation or an interaction with business, or something to do with our career or long-term goals.\r\n\r\nWe\'ll likely want to think outside the box. We may also want to bring some changes to a life situation or long-term goal that no longer fits. Again: We are being called to play a bigger game and may feel overwhelmed by what it all means.\r\n\r\nOur minds may prefer things to be “squared away”, traditional or established, yet at the same time be possessed by a great urge for progress and breakthroughs — and this could leave us feeling irritable — the best way to manage this is to channel some of that nervous, irritable energy into constructive pursuits.\r\n\r\nSince there\'s a tendency right now to challenge established thought, or play devil\'s advocate, it also helps to get in touch with our inner truth. Use breath to turn any fear into excitement -- and let yourself drop into your heart.\r\n\r\nExpect the unexpected, plan on disruption, revelation and breakthroughs -- during this transit, the best mind is an open mind. As best as you can, go with the flow, staying open to the new and unexpectedly different.

In addition, the first Quarter Moon in Taurus becomes exact on Wednesday and Mars changes signs from Scorpio to Sagittarius on Friday morning.\r\n\r\nThere will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Tuesday late evening (for almost 9.5 hours), Thursday late evening (for almost 14.5 hours), and Sunday early morning (for a little over 8 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (January 22nd):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive <strong>Pisces</strong> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 1:27am EST</strong>.</em> <strong>At that time,</strong> <em>the Moon enters pioneering, fast-paced <strong>Aries</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday morning</strong>. The energy of the Aries Moon bears on starting something new.\r\n\r\nOur gut impulses are strong; we feel energetic, spontaneous, enthusiastic and brave -- and perhaps impatient and impulsive. Excess energy is best channeled into physical activity.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 1:27am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><b><i>,</i></b> where it will journey <b>until Monday early evening</b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Monday</strong>, it\'s <em>time to actions on our New Moon intentions</em>: if you set Intentions Tuesday night, Wednesday or Thursday of last week -- after the New Moon became exact -- today will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (January 23rd):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced <strong>Aries</strong></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 11:16pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 9.5 hours,<strong> until 8:39am EST (Wednesday morning). </strong>Use this intuitive time to connect to people that can enthusiastically support your projects and share with them what you have going on.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday night and Wednesday morning ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (January 24th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced <strong>Aries</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 8:39am EST</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 8:39am EST</strong>, <i>the Moon moves</i><b> </b><i>into steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Friday early afternoon</strong>. We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well. In other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-) This Moon placement starts the build up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Wednesday afternoon). <i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon,</strong> <em>a Mercury/Pluto alignment 19.5 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> becomes exact at 3:50pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Monday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday.</strong> With this alignment, an all-or-nothing attitude is very likely. We have tremendous mental focus — which could tip into obsession. Choose love over fear whenever possible. Connect to the things you feel passionate about -- and connect to others, empowering them with your passions. As best as you can, choose your words carefully -- if possible, speak from that deeply connected and empowered place.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 16-23 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Aries, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more connected to this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday early evening, at 5:20pm EST</strong>, <i>the first Quarter Moon in almost 5 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> </i>becomes exact. <b>We started to feel this aspect from the moment the Moon entered Taurus this morning. </b>The Moon, in <i>steady, peaceful, comfort-oriented</i><i> </i><b><i>Taurus,</i></b> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking, rebellious </i><b><i>Aquarius.</i></b>\r\n\r\nWe feel compelled to take action. Last week on Jan. 16th, the New Moon in Capricorn was exact: \"Seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making their first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day interactions with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 3-7 degrees of</i><b><i> Taurus, Aquarius, Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (January 25th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful </em><strong><em>Taurus</em> all day</strong> (see Wednesday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning</strong>,<em> an opportune Mercury/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 6:28am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Tuesday night on; it will remain strong until this Friday</strong>. This aspect is an opportunity for us to expand our thinking and express ourselves with confidence and optimism -- we share what\'s important to us from a place of open-mindedness and excitement.\r\n\r\nThis connection also creates a possibility of expansion via stepping into uncharted territory. Humor can be a great way to tap into this energetic combo. This planetary connection also favors short trips, writing, teaching, studying, and making observations. We more readily exercise good judgment and are more \"philosophical\" and open to learning.\r\n\r\nAgain, as with any opportunity, we have to \"take\" it -- it requires we take action. What could you do that would instill confidence in your exploration of the mind? Is there a new mental process that is asking to be explored?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Capricorn,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Scorpio, Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>(Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius). </i><i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 10:17pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 14.5 hours, <strong>until 12:40pm EST (Friday early afternoon)</strong>. Use this intuitive time to share about earthly issues and support each other in practical ways.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday night and Friday morning ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (January 26th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 12:40pm EST</strong> (see Wednesday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 7:56am EST</strong>, <i>Mars changes signs from passionate </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> to adventurous </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until March 17th</strong><b>.</b> With this placement, we are going to feel a little restless, maybe even impatient at times -- we want to explore. This is a great time to get into sports or some athletic activity. We have so many ideas and interests that we can\'t just stick to one thing right now, so we may have several projects running at the same time.\r\n\r\nIt\'s a time when we prefer to improvise and just wing it. That makes it more fun and brings a sense of adventure to our day. We also like to have some good debates with others, persuading them to share our beliefs. It\'s not the best time to get too serious about life, as we prefer to feel free-flowing and excited about new things -- especially when we can learn something new ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more adventurous and probably more impatient. You may want to explore new sports or physical activities. If you are a </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 7 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 12:40pm EST</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday afternoon.</strong><b>.</b> For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way... The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (January 27th)</strong>: <i>the</i> <i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> </i><b>all day</b> (see Friday early afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday morning:</strong> we are asked to connect with others, socialize, and share information with them. Then, <strong>in the later morning</strong>, we are required to make some adjustments -- and we may need to do a little stretching and growing, when it comes to our inner or emotional experiences. As best as you can, be gentle with yourself and others, seek to understand before seeking to be understood.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday night</strong>/Sunday very early morning, <em>a challenging Mercury/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:08am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Friday morning on; it will remain strong until next week Monday night (Jan. 29th). </strong>This aspect creates some tension in our lives: We may feel anxious or stressed by a situation or an interaction with business, or something to do with our career or long-term goals.\r\n\r\nWe\'ll likely want to think outside the box. We may also want to bring some changes to a life situation or long-term goal that no longer fits. Again: We are being called to play a bigger game and may feel overwhelmed by what it all means.\r\n\r\nOur minds may prefer things to be “squared away”, traditional or established, yet at the same time be possessed by a great urge for progress and breakthroughs — and this could leave us feeling irritable — the best way to manage this is to channel some of that nervous, irritable energy into constructive pursuits.\r\n\r\nSince there\'s a tendency right now to challenge established thought, or play devil\'s advocate, it also helps to get in touch with our inner truth. Use breath to turn any fear into excitement -- and let yourself drop into your heart.\r\n\r\nExpect the unexpected, plan on disruption, revelation and breakthroughs -- during this transit, the best mind is an open mind. As best as you can, go with the flow, staying open to the new and unexpectedly different. Could you allow whatever is happening to stimulate new approaches?\r\n\r\nAs you can perhaps imagine, this is not a time to make major decisions, especially if they are hasty ;-) You can think of this as \"reorganizing\" time for the mind, like moving your furniture around.  If you feel yourself resisting the reshuffle, do your best to relax -- and maybe even sit back and enjoy the show.\r\n\r\nAnd as always, if all else fails, take it one moment at a time...

We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well. In other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-) This Moon placement starts the build up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Wednesday afternoon). <i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon,</strong> <em>a Mercury/Pluto alignment 19.5 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> becomes exact at 3:50pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Monday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday.</strong> With this alignment, an all-or-nothing attitude is very likely. We have tremendous mental focus — which could tip into obsession. Choose love over fear whenever possible. Connect to the things you feel passionate about -- and connect to others, empowering them with your passions. As best as you can, choose your words carefully -- if possible, speak from that deeply connected and empowered place.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 16-23 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Aries, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more connected to this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday early evening, at 5:20pm EST</strong>, <i>the first Quarter Moon in almost 5 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> </i>becomes exact. <b>We started to feel this aspect from the moment the Moon entered Taurus this morning. </b>The Moon, in <i>steady, peaceful, comfort-oriented</i><i> </i><b><i>Taurus,</i></b> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking, rebellious </i><b><i>Aquarius.</i></b>\r\n\r\nWe feel compelled to take action. Last week on Jan. 16th, the New Moon in Capricorn was exact: \"Seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making their first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day interactions with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 3-7 degrees of</i><b><i> Taurus, Aquarius, Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (January 25th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful </em><strong><em>Taurus</em> all day</strong> (see Wednesday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning</strong>,<em> an opportune Mercury/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 6:28am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Tuesday night on; it will remain strong until this Friday</strong>. This aspect is an opportunity for us to expand our thinking and express ourselves with confidence and optimism -- we share what\'s important to us from a place of open-mindedness and excitement.\r\n\r\nThis connection also creates a possibility of expansion via stepping into uncharted territory. Humor can be a great way to tap into this energetic combo. This planetary connection also favors short trips, writing, teaching, studying, and making observations. We more readily exercise good judgment and are more \"philosophical\" and open to learning.\r\n\r\nAgain, as with any opportunity, we have to \"take\" it -- it requires we take action. What could you do that would instill confidence in your exploration of the mind? Is there a new mental process that is asking to be explored?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Capricorn,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Scorpio, Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>?

This is a great time to get into sports or some athletic activity. We have so many ideas and interests that we can\'t just stick to one thing right now, so we may have several projects running at the same time.\r\n\r\nIt\'s a time when we prefer to improvise and just wing it. That makes it more fun and brings a sense of adventure to our day. We also like to have some good debates with others, persuading them to share our beliefs. It\'s not the best time to get too serious about life, as we prefer to feel free-flowing and excited about new things -- especially when we can learn something new ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more adventurous and probably more impatient. You may want to explore new sports or physical activities. If you are a </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 7 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 12:40pm EST</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday afternoon.</strong><b>.</b> For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way... The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (January 27th)</strong>: <i>the</i> <i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> </i><b>all day</b> (see Friday early afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Saturday:</strong></span>\r\n\r\nMoon in Gemini trines Venus in Aquarius at 8:31am EST.\r\n\r\nMoon in Gemini squares Neptune in Pisces at 9:41am EST.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday night</strong>/Sunday very early morning, <em>a challenging Mercury/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:08am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Friday morning on; it will remain strong until next week Monday night (Jan. 29th). </strong>This aspect creates some tension in our lives: We may feel anxious or stressed by a situation or an interaction with business, or something to do with our career or long-term goals.\r\n\r\nWe\'ll likely want to think outside the box. We may also want to bring some changes to a life situation or long-term goal that no longer fits. Again: We are being called to play a bigger game and may feel overwhelmed by what it all means.\r\n\r\nOur minds may prefer things to be “squared away”, traditional or established, yet at the same time be possessed by a great urge for progress and breakthroughs — and this could leave us feeling irritable — the best way to manage this is to channel some of that nervous, irritable energy into constructive pursuits.\r\n\r\nSince there\'s a tendency right now to challenge established thought, or play devil\'s advocate, it also helps to get in touch with our inner truth. Use breath to turn any fear into excitement -- and let yourself drop into your heart.\r\n\r\nExpect the unexpected, plan on disruption, revelation and breakthroughs -- during this transit, the best mind is an open mind. As best as you can, go with the flow, staying open to the new and unexpectedly different. Could you allow whatever is happening to stimulate new approaches?\r\n\r\nAs you can perhaps imagine, this is not a time to make major decisions, especially if they are hasty ;-) You can think of this as \"reorganizing\" time for the mind, like moving your furniture around.  If you feel yourself resisting the reshuffle, do your best to relax -- and maybe even sit back and enjoy the show.\r\n\r\nAnd as always, if all else fails, take it one moment at a time... Rather than jumping to conclusions, get grounded in the here and now — bringing awareness to your breath (or body) is a good way to do this.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in </i><em>22-28 degrees</em><i> of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Aries, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Uranus rules Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (January 28th):</strong> <i>the</i> <i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> <strong>until 1:57pm EST</strong> (see Friday early afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 5:39am EST,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 8 hours, until 1:57pm EST.

We also have a chance to heal insecurities in our verbal, in-person, or email interactions.\r\n\r\nWe are better able now to tune out that automatic/critical inner voice, in favor of more loving and compassionate structures for thinking and communicating. By bringing love and understanding to our thinking processes, we have a chance to move beyond entrenched habits, like \"pushing ourselves\" or dreaming up catastrophic futures.\r\n\r\nHere’s a few good “chew toys” for your mind at this time: What was your family\'s attitude towards career? Long-term goals in general? What if you tried a gentler approach for a bit? Does your inner dialog really have to repeat what they said when you were 5 years old? What if you used a gentler voice for the next ten minutes or so?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 23-28 degrees of</i> <b><i>Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>?</i> <i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.

The energy of the Aries Moon bears on starting something new.\r\n\r\nOur gut impulses are strong; we feel energetic, spontaneous, enthusiastic and brave -- and perhaps impatient and impulsive. Excess energy is best channeled into physical activity.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 1:27am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><b><i>,</i></b> where it will journey <b>until Monday early evening</b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Monday</strong>, it\'s <em>time to actions on our New Moon intentions</em>: if you set Intentions Tuesday night, Wednesday or Thursday of last week -- after the New Moon became exact -- today will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (January 23rd):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced <strong>Aries</strong></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 11:16pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 9.5 hours,<strong> until 8:39am EST (Wednesday morning). </strong>Use this intuitive time to connect to people that can enthusiastically support your projects and share with them what you have going on.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

In other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-) This Moon placement starts the build up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Wednesday afternoon). <i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon,</strong> <em>a Mercury/Pluto alignment 19.5 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> becomes exact at 3:50pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Monday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday.</strong> With this alignment, an all-or-nothing attitude is very likely. We have tremendous mental focus — which could tip into obsession. Choose love over fear whenever possible. Connect to the things you feel passionate about -- and connect to others, empowering them with your passions. As best as you can, choose your words carefully -- if possible, speak from that deeply connected and empowered place.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 16-23 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Aries, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more connected to this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday early evening, at 5:20pm EST</strong>, <i>the first Quarter Moon in almost 5 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> </i>becomes exact. <b>We started to feel this aspect from the moment the Moon entered Taurus this morning. </b>The Moon, in <i>steady, peaceful, comfort-oriented</i><i> </i><b><i>Taurus,</i></b> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking, rebellious </i><b><i>Aquarius.</i></b>\r\n\r\nWe feel compelled to take action. Last week on Jan. 16th, the New Moon in Capricorn was exact: \"Seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making their first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day interactions with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 3-7 degrees of</i><b><i> Taurus, Aquarius, Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>?

The energy of the Aries Moon bears on starting something new.\r\n\r\nOur gut impulses are strong; we feel energetic, spontaneous, enthusiastic and brave -- and perhaps impatient and impulsive. Excess energy is best channeled into physical activity.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 1:27am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><b><i>,</i></b> where it will journey <b>until Monday early evening</b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Monday</strong>, it\'s <em>time to actions on our New Moon intentions</em>: if you set Intentions Tuesday night, Wednesday or Thursday of last week -- after the New Moon became exact -- today will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (January 23rd):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced <strong>Aries</strong></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 11:16pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 9.5 hours,<strong> until 8:39am EST (Wednesday morning). </strong>Use this intuitive time to connect to people that can enthusiastically support your projects and share with them what you have going on.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday night and Wednesday morning ahead of time ;-) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">(Moon conjuncts Uranus in Aries)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (January 24th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced <strong>Aries</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 8:39am EST</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 8:39am EST</strong>, <i>the Moon moves</i><b> </b><i>into steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Friday early afternoon</strong>. We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well. In other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-) This Moon placement starts the build up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Wednesday afternoon). <i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon,</strong> <em>a Mercury/Pluto alignment 19.5 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> becomes exact at 3:50pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Monday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday.</strong> With this alignment, an all-or-nothing attitude is very likely. We have tremendous mental focus — which could tip into obsession. Choose love over fear whenever possible. Connect to the things you feel passionate about -- and connect to others, empowering them with your passions. As best as you can, choose your words carefully -- if possible, speak from that deeply connected and empowered place.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 16-23 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Aries, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more connected to this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday early evening, at 5:20pm EST</strong>, <i>the first Quarter Moon in almost 5 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> </i>becomes exact. <b>We started to feel this aspect from the moment the Moon entered Taurus this morning. </b>The Moon, in <i>steady, peaceful, comfort-oriented</i><i> </i><b><i>Taurus,</i></b> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking, rebellious </i><b><i>Aquarius.</i></b>\r\n\r\nWe feel compelled to take action. Last week on Jan. 16th, the New Moon in Capricorn was exact: \"Seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making their first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day interactions with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 3-7 degrees of</i><b><i> Taurus, Aquarius, Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (January 25th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful </em><strong><em>Taurus</em> all day</strong> (see Wednesday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning</strong>,<em> an opportune Mercury/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 6:28am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Tuesday night on; it will remain strong until this Friday</strong>. This aspect is an opportunity for us to expand our thinking and express ourselves with confidence and optimism -- we share what\'s important to us from a place of open-mindedness and excitement.\r\n\r\nThis connection also creates a possibility of expansion via stepping into uncharted territory. Humor can be a great way to tap into this energetic combo. This planetary connection also favors short trips, writing, teaching, studying, and making observations. We more readily exercise good judgment and are more \"philosophical\" and open to learning.\r\n\r\nAgain, as with any opportunity, we have to \"take\" it -- it requires we take action. What could you do that would instill confidence in your exploration of the mind? Is there a new mental process that is asking to be explored?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Capricorn,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Scorpio, Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>(Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius). </i><i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 10:17pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 14.5 hours, <strong>until 12:40pm EST (Friday early afternoon)</strong>. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Use this intuitive time to share about earthly issues and support each other in practical ways.</span>\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

This is a great time to get into sports or some athletic activity. We have so many ideas and interests that we can\'t just stick to one thing right now, so we may have several projects running at the same time.\r\n\r\nIt\'s a time when we prefer to improvise and just wing it. That makes it more fun and brings a sense of adventure to our day. We also like to have some good debates with others, persuading them to share our beliefs. It\'s not the best time to get too serious about life, as we prefer to feel free-flowing and excited about new things -- especially when we can learn something new ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more adventurous and probably more impatient. You may want to explore new sports or physical activities. If you are a </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 7 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 12:40pm EST</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday afternoon.</strong><b>.</b> For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way... The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (January 27th)</strong>: <i>the</i> <i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> </i><b>all day</b> (see Friday early afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Saturday morning,</strong> we are asked to connect with others, socialize, and share information with others </span>(Moon in Gemini trines Venus in Aquarius at 8:31am EST.)\r\n\r\n<strong>Satur</strong><b>da</b><strong>y late morning</strong> requires adjustments -- and we may need to do a little stretching and growing, when it comes to our inner or emotional experiences. As best as you can, be gentle with yourself and others, seek to understand before seeking to be understood. <em>(Moon in Gemini squares Neptune in Pisces at 9:41am EST.)</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday night</strong>/Sunday very early morning, <em>a challenging Mercury/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:08am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Friday morning on; it will remain strong until next week Monday night (Jan. 29th). </strong>This aspect creates some tension in our lives: We may feel anxious or stressed by a situation or an interaction with business, or something to do with our career or long-term goals.\r\n\r\nWe\'ll likely want to think outside the box. We may also want to bring some changes to a life situation or long-term goal that no longer fits. Again: We are being called to play a bigger game and may feel overwhelmed by what it all means.\r\n\r\nOur minds may prefer things to be “squared away”, traditional or established, yet at the same time be possessed by a great urge for progress and breakthroughs — and this could leave us feeling irritable — the best way to manage this is to channel some of that nervous, irritable energy into constructive pursuits.\r\n\r\nSince there\'s a tendency right now to challenge established thought, or play devil\'s advocate, it also helps to get in touch with our inner truth. Use breath to turn any fear into excitement -- and let yourself drop into your heart.\r\n\r\nExpect the unexpected, plan on disruption, revelation and breakthroughs -- during this transit, the best mind is an open mind. As best as you can, go with the flow, staying open to the new and unexpectedly different. Could you allow whatever is happening to stimulate new approaches?\r\n\r\nAs you can perhaps imagine, this is not a time to make major decisions, especially if they are hasty ;-) You can think of this as \"reorganizing\" time for the mind, like moving your furniture around.  If you feel yourself resisting the reshuffle, do your best to relax -- and maybe even sit back and enjoy the show.\r\n\r\nAnd as always, if all else fails, take it one moment at a time...

We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well. In other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-) This Moon placement starts the build up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Wednesday afternoon). <i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon,</strong> <em>a Mercury/Pluto alignment 19.5 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> becomes exact at 3:50pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Monday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday.</strong> With this alignment, an all-or-nothing attitude is very likely. We have tremendous mental focus — which could tip into obsession. Choose love over fear whenever possible. Connect to the things you feel passionate about -- and connect to others, empowering them with your passions. As best as you can, choose your words carefully -- if possible, speak from that deeply connected and empowered place.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 16-23 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Aries, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more connected to this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday early evening, at 5:20pm EST</strong>, <i>the first Quarter Moon in almost 5 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> </i>becomes exact. <b>We started to feel this aspect from the moment the Moon entered Taurus this morning. </b>The Moon, in <i>steady, peaceful, comfort-oriented</i><i> </i><b><i>Taurus,</i></b> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking, rebellious </i><b><i>Aquarius.</i></b>\r\n\r\nWe feel compelled to take action. Last week on Jan. 16th, the New Moon in Capricorn was exact: \"Seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making their first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day interactions with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 3-7 degrees of</i><b><i> Taurus, Aquarius, Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (January 25th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful </em><strong><em>Taurus</em> all day</strong> (see Wednesday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning</strong>,<em> an opportune Mercury/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 6:28am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Tuesday night on; it will remain strong until this Friday</strong>. This aspect is an opportunity for us to expand our thinking and express ourselves with confidence and optimism -- we share what\'s important to us from a place of open-mindedness and excitement.\r\n\r\nThis connection also creates a possibility of expansion via stepping into uncharted territory. Humor can be a great way to tap into this energetic combo. This planetary connection also favors short trips, writing, teaching, studying, and making observations. We more readily exercise good judgment and are more \"philosophical\" and open to learning.\r\n\r\nAgain, as with any opportunity, we have to \"take\" it -- it requires we take action. What could you do that would instill confidence in your exploration of the mind? Is there a new mental process that is asking to be explored?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Capricorn,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Scorpio, Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>?

This is a great time to get into sports or some athletic activity. We have so many ideas and interests that we can\'t just stick to one thing right now, so we may have several projects running at the same time.\r\n\r\nIt\'s a time when we prefer to improvise and just wing it. That makes it more fun and brings a sense of adventure to our day. We also like to have some good debates with others, persuading them to share our beliefs. It\'s not the best time to get too serious about life, as we prefer to feel free-flowing and excited about new things -- especially when we can learn something new ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more adventurous and probably more impatient. You may want to explore new sports or physical activities. If you are a </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 7 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 12:40pm EST</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday afternoon.</strong><b>.</b> For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way... The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (January 27th)</strong>: <i>the</i> <i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> </i><b>all day</b> (see Friday early afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Saturday morning,</strong> we are asked to connect with others, socialize, and share information with others </span>(Moon in Gemini trines Venus in Aquarius at 8:31am EST.)\r\n\r\n<strong>Satur</strong><b>da</b><strong>y late morning</strong> requires adjustments -- and we may need to do a little stretching and growing, when it comes to our inner or emotional experiences. As best as you can, be gentle with yourself and others, seek to understand before seeking to be understood. <em>(Moon in Gemini squares Neptune in Pisces at 9:41am EST.)</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday night</strong>/Sunday very early morning, <em>a challenging Mercury/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:08am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Friday morning on; it will remain strong until next week Monday night (Jan. 29th). </strong>This aspect creates some tension in our lives: We may feel anxious or stressed by a situation or an interaction with business, or something to do with our career or long-term goals.\r\n\r\nWe\'ll likely want to think outside the box. We may also want to bring some changes to a life situation or long-term goal that no longer fits. Again: We are being called to play a bigger game and may feel overwhelmed by what it all means.\r\n\r\nOur minds may prefer things to be “squared away”, traditional or established, yet at the same time be possessed by a great urge for progress and breakthroughs — and this could leave us feeling irritable — the best way to manage this is to channel some of that nervous, irritable energy into constructive pursuits.\r\n\r\nSince there\'s a tendency right now to challenge established thought, or play devil\'s advocate, it also helps to get in touch with our inner truth. Use breath to turn any fear into excitement -- and let yourself drop into your heart.\r\n\r\nExpect the unexpected, plan on disruption, revelation and breakthroughs -- during this transit, the best mind is an open mind. As best as you can, go with the flow, staying open to the new and unexpectedly different. Could you allow whatever is happening to stimulate new approaches?\r\n\r\nAs you can perhaps imagine, this is not a time to make major decisions, especially if they are hasty ;-) You can think of this as \"reorganizing\" time for the mind, like moving your furniture around.  If you feel yourself resisting the reshuffle, do your best to relax -- and maybe even sit back and enjoy the show.\r\n\r\nAnd as always, if all else fails, take it one moment at a time... Rather than jumping to conclusions, get grounded in the here and now — bringing awareness to your breath (or body) is a good way to do this.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in </i><em>22-28 degrees</em><i> of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Aries, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Uranus rules Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (January 28th):</strong> <i>the</i> <i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> <strong>until 1:57pm EST</strong> (see Friday early afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 5:39am EST,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 8 hours,<strong> until 1:57pm EST.</strong> If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday morning until early afternoon ahead of time ;-) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">(Moon sextiles Uranus in Aries)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday afternoon,</strong> <em>an opportune Mercury/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:50pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Saturday morning on; it will remain strong until Monday evening (Jan. 29th) . </strong>We have an opportunity to bring healing energy to our concrete mind and to our thoughts. We also have a chance to heal insecurities in our verbal, in-person, or email interactions.\r\n\r\nWe are better able now to tune out that automatic/critical inner voice, in favor of more loving and compassionate structures for thinking and communicating. By bringing love and understanding to our thinking processes, we have a chance to move beyond entrenched habits, like \"pushing ourselves\" or dreaming up catastrophic futures.\r\n\r\nHere’s a few good “chew toys” for your mind at this time: What was your family\'s attitude towards career? Long-term goals in general? What if you tried a gentler approach for a bit? Does your inner dialog really have to repeat what they said when you were 5 years old? What if you used a gentler voice for the next ten minutes or so?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 23-28 degrees of</i> <b><i>Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>?</i> <i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b> <i>(Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 1:57pm EST</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Tuesday afternoon (Jan. 30th)</strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, otherwise you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\nA head\'s up for next Monday (Jan. 29th): <i>the</i> <i>Moon remains</i> <i>in</i> <i>protective, introverted </i><b><i>Cancer </i>all day</b> (see Sunday afternoon for details).

This is a great time to get into sports or some athletic activity. We have so many ideas and interests that we can\'t just stick to one thing right now, so we may have several projects running at the same time.\r\n\r\nIt\'s a time when we prefer to improvise and just wing it. That makes it more fun and brings a sense of adventure to our day. We also like to have some good debates with others, persuading them to share our beliefs. It\'s not the best time to get too serious about life, as we prefer to feel free-flowing and excited about new things -- especially when we can learn something new ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more adventurous and probably more impatient. You may want to explore new sports or physical activities. If you are a </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 7 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 12:40pm EST</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday afternoon.</strong><b>.</b> For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way... The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (January 27th)</strong>: <i>the</i> <i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> </i><b>all day</b> (see Friday early afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday morning:</strong> we are asked to connect with others, socialize, and share information with them (Moon in Gemini trines Venus in Aquarius at 8:31am EST.)\r\n\r\n<strong>Satur</strong><b>da</b><strong>y late morning</strong> requires adjustments -- and we may need to do a little stretching and growing, when it comes to our inner or emotional experiences. As best as you can, be gentle with yourself and others, seek to understand before seeking to be understood. <em>(Moon in Gemini squares Neptune in Pisces at 9:41am EST.)</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday night</strong>/Sunday very early morning, <em>a challenging Mercury/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:08am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Friday morning on; it will remain strong until next week Monday night (Jan. 29th). </strong>This aspect creates some tension in our lives: We may feel anxious or stressed by a situation or an interaction with business, or something to do with our career or long-term goals.\r\n\r\nWe\'ll likely want to think outside the box. We may also want to bring some changes to a life situation or long-term goal that no longer fits. Again: We are being called to play a bigger game and may feel overwhelmed by what it all means.\r\n\r\nOur minds may prefer things to be “squared away”, traditional or established, yet at the same time be possessed by a great urge for progress and breakthroughs — and this could leave us feeling irritable — the best way to manage this is to channel some of that nervous, irritable energy into constructive pursuits.\r\n\r\nSince there\'s a tendency right now to challenge established thought, or play devil\'s advocate, it also helps to get in touch with our inner truth. Use breath to turn any fear into excitement -- and let yourself drop into your heart.\r\n\r\nExpect the unexpected, plan on disruption, revelation and breakthroughs -- during this transit, the best mind is an open mind. As best as you can, go with the flow, staying open to the new and unexpectedly different. Could you allow whatever is happening to stimulate new approaches?\r\n\r\nAs you can perhaps imagine, this is not a time to make major decisions, especially if they are hasty ;-) You can think of this as \"reorganizing\" time for the mind, like moving your furniture around.  If you feel yourself resisting the reshuffle, do your best to relax -- and maybe even sit back and enjoy the show.\r\n\r\nAnd as always, if all else fails, take it one moment at a time... Rather than jumping to conclusions, get grounded in the here and now — bringing awareness to your breath (or body) is a good way to do this.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in </i><em>22-28 degrees</em><i> of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Aries, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Uranus rules Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (January 28th):</strong> <i>the</i> <i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> <strong>until 1:57pm EST</strong> (see Friday early afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 5:39am EST,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 8 hours,<strong> until 1:57pm EST.</strong> If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday morning until early afternoon ahead of time ;-) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">(Moon sextiles Uranus in Aries)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday afternoon,</strong> <em>an opportune Mercury/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:50pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Saturday morning on; it will remain strong until Monday evening (Jan. 29th) . </strong>We have an opportunity to bring healing energy to our concrete mind and to our thoughts. We also have a chance to heal insecurities in our verbal, in-person, or email interactions.\r\n\r\nWe are better able now to tune out that automatic/critical inner voice, in favor of more loving and compassionate structures for thinking and communicating. By bringing love and understanding to our thinking processes, we have a chance to move beyond entrenched habits, like \"pushing ourselves\" or dreaming up catastrophic futures.\r\n\r\nHere’s a few good “chew toys” for your mind at this time: What was your family\'s attitude towards career? Long-term goals in general? What if you tried a gentler approach for a bit? Does your inner dialog really have to repeat what they said when you were 5 years old? What if you used a gentler voice for the next ten minutes or so?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 23-28 degrees of</i> <b><i>Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>?</i> <i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b> <i>(Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 1:57pm EST</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Tuesday afternoon (Jan. 30th)</strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, otherwise you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\nA head\'s up for next Monday (Jan. 29th): <i>the</i> <i>Moon remains</i> <i>in</i> <i>protective, introverted </i><b><i>Cancer </i>all day</b> (see Sunday afternoon for details).

We also have a chance to heal insecurities in our verbal, in-person, or email interactions.\r\n\r\nWe are better able now to tune out that automatic/critical inner voice, in favor of more loving and compassionate structures for thinking and communicating. By bringing love and understanding to our thinking processes, we have a chance to move beyond entrenched habits, like \"pushing ourselves\" or dreaming up catastrophic futures.\r\n\r\nHere’s a few good “chew toys” for your mind at this time: What was your family\'s attitude towards career? Long-term goals in general? What if you tried a gentler approach for a bit? Does your inner dialog really have to repeat what they said when you were 5 years old?

For some time now, I\'ve noticed that the great majority of the people who actually spend money for my services found me through my YouTube videos -- my weekly forecast forms a very small percentage of that number. Since I\'m really interested in building an \"intentional\" community, and given that the forecasts take up hours of my time each week, I have decided to reserve them for members of that community. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">The same will be true of my articles and the Full Moon videos (the New Moon videos, with the intention-setting exercises will continue to be available to all, free of charge). It\'s my hope and belief that this will free my time up to make better and better content for people who are passionate about their own development.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">This will all take effect on [date] -- for the next four weeks, all that content will remain free of charge.

The energy of the Aries Moon bears on starting something new.\r\n\r\nOur gut impulses are strong; we feel energetic, spontaneous, enthusiastic and brave -- and perhaps impatient and impulsive. Excess energy is best channeled into physical activity.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 1:27am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><b><i>,</i></b> where it will journey <b>until Monday early evening</b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Monday</strong>, it\'s <em>time to actions on our New Moon intentions</em>: if you set Intentions Tuesday night, Wednesday or Thursday of last week -- after the New Moon became exact -- today will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (January 23rd):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced <strong>Aries</strong></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 11:16pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 9.5 hours,<strong> until 8:39am EST (Wednesday morning). </strong>Use this intuitive time to connect to people that can enthusiastically support your projects and share with them what you have going on.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well. In other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-) This Moon placement starts the build up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Wednesday afternoon). <i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon,</strong> <em>a Mercury/Pluto alignment 19.5 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> becomes exact at 3:50pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Monday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday.</strong> With this alignment, an all-or-nothing attitude is very likely. We have tremendous mental focus — which could tip into obsession. Choose love over fear whenever possible. Connect to the things you feel passionate about -- and connect to others, empowering them with your passions. As best as you can, choose your words carefully -- if possible, speak from that deeply connected and empowered place.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 16-23 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Aries, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more connected to this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday early evening, at 5:20pm EST</strong>, <i>the first Quarter Moon in almost 5 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> </i>becomes exact. <b>We started to feel this aspect from the moment the Moon entered Taurus this morning. </b>The Moon, in <i>steady, peaceful, comfort-oriented</i><i> </i><b><i>Taurus,</i></b> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking, rebellious </i><b><i>Aquarius.</i></b>\r\n\r\nWe feel compelled to take action. Last week on Jan. 16th, the New Moon in Capricorn was exact: \"Seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making their first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day interactions with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 3-7 degrees of</i><b><i> Taurus, Aquarius, Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (January 25th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful </em><strong><em>Taurus</em> all day</strong> (see Wednesday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning</strong>,<em> an opportune Mercury/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 6:28am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Tuesday night on; it will remain strong until this Friday</strong>. This aspect is an opportunity for us to expand our thinking and express ourselves with confidence and optimism -- we share what\'s important to us from a place of open-mindedness and excitement.\r\n\r\nThis connection also creates a possibility of expansion via stepping into uncharted territory. Humor can be a great way to tap into this energetic combo. This planetary connection also favors short trips, writing, teaching, studying, and making observations. We more readily exercise good judgment and are more \"philosophical\" and open to learning.\r\n\r\nAgain, as with any opportunity, we have to \"take\" it -- it requires we take action. What could you do that would instill confidence in your exploration of the mind? Is there a new mental process that is asking to be explored?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Capricorn,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Scorpio, Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>?

I have been working on this for quite a while, and I am so excited that the day has finally come that I can introduce this to all of you!\r\n\r\nThis new website will be especially wonderful for all of you who love Astrology, or simply want to explore themselves on a deeper level and live life more consciously.\r\n\r\nThere are some other changes coming up in how I distribute content. For some time now, I\'ve noticed that the great majority of the people who actually spend money for my services found me through my YouTube videos -- my weekly forecast forms a very small percentage of that number. Since I\'m really interested in building an \"intentional\" community, and given that the forecasts take up hours of my time each week, I have decided to reserve them for members of that community.\r\n\r\nThe same will be true of my articles and the Full Moon videos (the New Moon videos, with the intention-setting exercises will continue to be available to all, free of charge). It\'s my hope and belief that this will free my time up to make better and better content for people who are passionate about their own development.\r\n\r\nThis will all take effect on [date] -- for the next four weeks, all that content will remain free of charge. During that time, I will be offering a super-dooper special launch discount for joining my online community, only for those of you who are already part of my mailing list or have joined me on my social media platforms. <strong>This special discount will expire on Feb. 23rd</strong>; after that date, the fees will go up quite a bit -- so I want to encourage you to <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\">join now</a>.\r\n\r\nIn addition to the low initial price, those of you who join during those four weeks will have the price for that level <strong>locked in for life.</strong> If my prices go up at any point in the future, that super-dooper special discount price will be yours for as long as my website is in existence and for as long as you remain an active member ;-)\r\n\r\nI\'m offering this as a thank you for being part of my community already, and for supporting me in bringing more conscious awareness to our world -- and to anyone who is ready to listen, grow and step into their own power more fully.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\">Click here to join my online community and enjoy free content all month long! </a>I\'m very much looking forward to having you join me on this adventure, and to helping you align yourself with the universal energies on a daily basis! There are three levels of membership -- and if you\'re ready to dive deeper and get the maximum level of support from me, I invite you to consider a \"SuperStar\" Membership!\r\n\r\n<strong>This week\'s headline items</strong>: Eclipse season is upon us -- and it\'s time to take actions on our New Moon Intentions from last week, starting Monday. In addition, the first Quarter Moon in Taurus becomes exact on Wednesday and Mars changes signs from Scorpio to Sagittarius on Friday morning.\r\n\r\nThere will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Tuesday late evening (for almost 9.5 hours), Thursday late evening (for almost 14.5 hours), and Sunday early morning (for a little over 8 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (January 22nd):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive <strong>Pisces</strong> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 1:27am EST</strong>.</em> <strong>At that time,</strong> <em>the Moon enters pioneering, fast-paced <strong>Aries</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday morning</strong>. The energy of the Aries Moon bears on starting something new.\r\n\r\nOur gut impulses are strong; we feel energetic, spontaneous, enthusiastic and brave -- and perhaps impatient and impulsive. Excess energy is best channeled into physical activity.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 1:27am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><b><i>,</i></b> where it will journey <b>until Monday early evening</b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Monday</strong>, it\'s <em>time to actions on our New Moon intentions</em>: if you set Intentions Tuesday night, Wednesday or Thursday of last week -- after the New Moon became exact -- today will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (January 23rd):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced <strong>Aries</strong></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 11:16pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 9.5 hours,<strong> until 8:39am EST (Wednesday morning). </strong>Use this intuitive time to connect to people that can enthusiastically support your projects and share with them what you have going on.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday night and Wednesday morning ahead of time ;-) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">(Moon conjuncts Uranus in Aries)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (January 24th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced <strong>Aries</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 8:39am EST</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 8:39am EST</strong>, <i>the Moon moves</i><b> </b><i>into steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Friday early afternoon</strong>. We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well. In other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-) This Moon placement starts the build up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Wednesday afternoon). <i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon,</strong> <em>a Mercury/Pluto alignment 19.5 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> becomes exact at 3:50pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Monday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday.</strong> With this alignment, an all-or-nothing attitude is very likely. We have tremendous mental focus — which could tip into obsession. Choose love over fear whenever possible. Connect to the things you feel passionate about -- and connect to others, empowering them with your passions. As best as you can, choose your words carefully -- if possible, speak from that deeply connected and empowered place.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 16-23 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Aries, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more connected to this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday early evening, at 5:20pm EST</strong>, <i>the first Quarter Moon in almost 5 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> </i>becomes exact. <b>We started to feel this aspect from the moment the Moon entered Taurus this morning. </b>The Moon, in <i>steady, peaceful, comfort-oriented</i><i> </i><b><i>Taurus,</i></b> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking, rebellious </i><b><i>Aquarius.</i></b>\r\n\r\nWe feel compelled to take action. Last week on Jan. 16th, the New Moon in Capricorn was exact: \"Seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making their first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day interactions with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 3-7 degrees of</i><b><i> Taurus, Aquarius, Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (January 25th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful </em><strong><em>Taurus</em> all day</strong> (see Wednesday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning</strong>,<em> an opportune Mercury/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 6:28am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Tuesday night on; it will remain strong until this Friday</strong>. This aspect is an opportunity for us to expand our thinking and express ourselves with confidence and optimism -- we share what\'s important to us from a place of open-mindedness and excitement.\r\n\r\nThis connection also creates a possibility of expansion via stepping into uncharted territory. Humor can be a great way to tap into this energetic combo. This planetary connection also favors short trips, writing, teaching, studying, and making observations. We more readily exercise good judgment and are more \"philosophical\" and open to learning.\r\n\r\nAgain, as with any opportunity, we have to \"take\" it -- it requires we take action. What could you do that would instill confidence in your exploration of the mind? Is there a new mental process that is asking to be explored?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Capricorn,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Scorpio, Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>(Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius). </i><i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 10:17pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 14.5 hours, <strong>until 12:40pm EST (Friday early afternoon)</strong>. Use this intuitive time to share about earthly issues and support each other in practical ways.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday night and Friday morning ahead of time ;-) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">(Moon trines Mercury in Capricorn)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (January 26th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 12:40pm EST</strong> (see Wednesday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 7:56am EST</strong>, <i>Mars changes signs from passionate </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> to adventurous </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until March 17th</strong><b>.</b> With this placement, we are going to feel a little restless, maybe even impatient at times -- we want to explore. This is a great time to get into sports or some athletic activity. We have so many ideas and interests that we can\'t just stick to one thing right now, so we may have several projects running at the same time.\r\n\r\nIt\'s a time when we prefer to improvise and just wing it. That makes it more fun and brings a sense of adventure to our day. We also like to have some good debates with others, persuading them to share our beliefs. It\'s not the best time to get too serious about life, as we prefer to feel free-flowing and excited about new things -- especially when we can learn something new ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more adventurous and probably more impatient. You may want to explore new sports or physical activities. If you are a </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 7 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 12:40pm EST</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday afternoon.</strong><b>.</b> For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way... The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (January 27th)</strong>: <i>the</i> <i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> </i><b>all day</b> (see Friday early afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday morning:</strong> we are asked to connect with others, socialize, and share information with them (Moon in Gemini trines Venus in Aquarius at 8:31am EST.)\r\n\r\n<strong>Satur</strong><b>da</b><strong>y late morning</strong> requires adjustments -- and we may need to do a little stretching and growing, when it comes to our inner or emotional experiences. As best as you can, be gentle with yourself and others, seek to understand before seeking to be understood. <em>(Moon in Gemini squares Neptune in Pisces at 9:41am EST.)</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday night</strong>/Sunday very early morning, <em>a challenging Mercury/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:08am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Friday morning on; it will remain strong until next week Monday night (Jan. 29th). </strong>This aspect creates some tension in our lives: We may feel anxious or stressed by a situation or an interaction with business, or something to do with our career or long-term goals.\r\n\r\nWe\'ll likely want to think outside the box. We may also want to bring some changes to a life situation or long-term goal that no longer fits. Again: We are being called to play a bigger game and may feel overwhelmed by what it all means.\r\n\r\nOur minds may prefer things to be “squared away”, traditional or established, yet at the same time be possessed by a great urge for progress and breakthroughs — and this could leave us feeling irritable — the best way to manage this is to channel some of that nervous, irritable energy into constructive pursuits.\r\n\r\nSince there\'s a tendency right now to challenge established thought, or play devil\'s advocate, it also helps to get in touch with our inner truth. Use breath to turn any fear into excitement -- and let yourself drop into your heart.\r\n\r\nExpect the unexpected, plan on disruption, revelation and breakthroughs -- during this transit, the best mind is an open mind. As best as you can, go with the flow, staying open to the new and unexpectedly different. Could you allow whatever is happening to stimulate new approaches?\r\n\r\nAs you can perhaps imagine, this is not a time to make major decisions, especially if they are hasty ;-) You can think of this as \"reorganizing\" time for the mind, like moving your furniture around.  If you feel yourself resisting the reshuffle, do your best to relax -- and maybe even sit back and enjoy the show.\r\n\r\nAnd as always, if all else fails, take it one moment at a time... Rather than jumping to conclusions, get grounded in the here and now — bringing awareness to your breath (or body) is a good way to do this.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in </i><em>22-28 degrees</em><i> of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Aries, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>?

In addition, the first Quarter Moon in Taurus becomes exact on Wednesday and Mars changes signs from Scorpio to Sagittarius on Friday morning.\r\n\r\nThere will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Tuesday late evening (for almost 9.5 hours), Thursday late evening (for almost 14.5 hours), and Sunday early morning (for a little over 8 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (January 22nd):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive <strong>Pisces</strong> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 1:27am EST</strong>.</em> <strong>At that time,</strong> <em>the Moon enters pioneering, fast-paced <strong>Aries</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday morning</strong>. The energy of the Aries Moon bears on starting something new.\r\n\r\nOur gut impulses are strong; we feel energetic, spontaneous, enthusiastic and brave -- and perhaps impatient and impulsive. Excess energy is best channeled into physical activity.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 1:27am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><b><i>,</i></b> where it will journey <b>until Monday early evening</b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Monday</strong>, it\'s <em>time to actions on our New Moon intentions</em>: if you set Intentions Tuesday night, Wednesday or Thursday of last week -- after the New Moon became exact -- today will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (January 23rd):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced <strong>Aries</strong></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 11:16pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 9.5 hours,<strong> until 8:39am EST (Wednesday morning). </strong>Use this intuitive time to connect to people that can enthusiastically support your projects and share with them what you have going on.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday night and Wednesday morning ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (January 24th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced <strong>Aries</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 8:39am EST</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 8:39am EST</strong>, <i>the Moon moves</i><b> </b><i>into steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Friday early afternoon</strong>. We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well. In other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-) This Moon placement starts the build up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Wednesday afternoon). <i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon,</strong> <em>a Mercury/Pluto alignment 19.5 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> becomes exact at 3:50pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Monday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday.</strong> With this alignment, an all-or-nothing attitude is very likely. We have tremendous mental focus — which could tip into obsession. Choose love over fear whenever possible. Connect to the things you feel passionate about -- and connect to others, empowering them with your passions. As best as you can, choose your words carefully -- if possible, speak from that deeply connected and empowered place.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 16-23 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Aries, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more connected to this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday early evening, at 5:20pm EST</strong>, <i>the first Quarter Moon in almost 5 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> </i>becomes exact. <b>We started to feel this aspect from the moment the Moon entered Taurus this morning. </b>The Moon, in <i>steady, peaceful, comfort-oriented</i><i> </i><b><i>Taurus,</i></b> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking, rebellious </i><b><i>Aquarius.</i></b>\r\n\r\nWe feel compelled to take action. Last week on Jan. 16th, the New Moon in Capricorn was exact: \"Seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making their first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day interactions with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 3-7 degrees of</i><b><i> Taurus, Aquarius, Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (January 25th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful </em><strong><em>Taurus</em> all day</strong> (see Wednesday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning</strong>,<em> an opportune Mercury/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 6:28am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Tuesday night on; it will remain strong until this Friday</strong>. This aspect is an opportunity for us to expand our thinking and express ourselves with confidence and optimism -- we share what\'s important to us from a place of open-mindedness and excitement.\r\n\r\nThis connection also creates a possibility of expansion via stepping into uncharted territory. Humor can be a great way to tap into this energetic combo. This planetary connection also favors short trips, writing, teaching, studying, and making observations. We more readily exercise good judgment and are more \"philosophical\" and open to learning.\r\n\r\nAgain, as with any opportunity, we have to \"take\" it -- it requires we take action. What could you do that would instill confidence in your exploration of the mind? Is there a new mental process that is asking to be explored?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Capricorn,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Scorpio, Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>(Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius). </i><i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 10:17pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 14.5 hours, <strong>until 12:40pm EST (Friday early afternoon)</strong>. Use this intuitive time to share about earthly issues and support each other in practical ways.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday night and Friday morning ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (January 26th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 12:40pm EST</strong> (see Wednesday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 7:56am EST</strong>, <i>Mars changes signs from passionate </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> to adventurous </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until March 17th</strong><b>.</b> With this placement, we are going to feel a little restless, maybe even impatient at times -- we want to explore. This is a great time to get into sports or some athletic activity. We have so many ideas and interests that we can\'t just stick to one thing right now, so we may have several projects running at the same time.\r\n\r\nIt\'s a time when we prefer to improvise and just wing it. That makes it more fun and brings a sense of adventure to our day. We also like to have some good debates with others, persuading them to share our beliefs. It\'s not the best time to get too serious about life, as we prefer to feel free-flowing and excited about new things -- especially when we can learn something new ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more adventurous and probably more impatient. You may want to explore new sports or physical activities. If you are a </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 7 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 12:40pm EST</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday afternoon.</strong><b>.</b> For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way... The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (January 27th)</strong>: <i>the</i> <i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> </i><b>all day</b> (see Friday early afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday morning:</strong> we are asked to connect with others, socialize, and share information with them. Then, <strong>in the later morning</strong>, we are required to make some adjustments -- and we may need to do a little stretching and growing, when it comes to our inner or emotional experiences. As best as you can, be gentle with yourself and others, seek to understand before seeking to be understood.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday night</strong>/Sunday very early morning, <em>a challenging Mercury/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:08am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Friday morning on; it will remain strong until next week Monday night (Jan. 29th). </strong>This aspect creates some tension in our lives: We may feel anxious or stressed by a situation or an interaction with business, or something to do with our career or long-term goals.\r\n\r\nWe\'ll likely want to think outside the box. We may also want to bring some changes to a life situation or long-term goal that no longer fits. Again: We are being called to play a bigger game and may feel overwhelmed by what it all means.\r\n\r\nOur minds may prefer things to be “squared away”, traditional or established, yet at the same time be possessed by a great urge for progress and breakthroughs — and this could leave us feeling irritable — the best way to manage this is to channel some of that nervous, irritable energy into constructive pursuits.\r\n\r\nSince there\'s a tendency right now to challenge established thought, or play devil\'s advocate, it also helps to get in touch with our inner truth. Use breath to turn any fear into excitement -- and let yourself drop into your heart.\r\n\r\nExpect the unexpected, plan on disruption, revelation and breakthroughs -- during this transit, the best mind is an open mind. As best as you can, go with the flow, staying open to the new and unexpectedly different. Could you allow whatever is happening to stimulate new approaches?\r\n\r\nAs you can perhaps imagine, this is not a time to make major decisions, especially if they are hasty ;-) You can think of this as \"reorganizing\" time for the mind, like moving your furniture around.  If you feel yourself resisting the reshuffle, do your best to relax -- and maybe even sit back and enjoy the show.\r\n\r\nAnd as always, if all else fails, take it one moment at a time... Rather than jumping to conclusions, get grounded in the here and now — bringing awareness to your breath (or body) is a good way to do this.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in </i><em>22-28 degrees</em><i> of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Aries, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Uranus rules Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (January 28th):</strong> <i>the</i> <i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> <strong>until 1:57pm EST</strong> (see Friday early afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 5:39am EST,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 8 hours,<strong> until 1:57pm EST.</strong> If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday morning until early afternoon ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday afternoon,</strong> <em>an opportune Mercury/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:50pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Saturday morning on; it will remain strong until Monday evening (Jan. 29th) . </strong>We have an opportunity to bring healing energy to our concrete mind and to our thoughts. We also have a chance to heal insecurities in our verbal, in-person, or email interactions.\r\n\r\nWe are better able now to tune out that automatic/critical inner voice, in favor of more loving and compassionate structures for thinking and communicating. By bringing love and understanding to our thinking processes, we have a chance to move beyond entrenched habits, like \"pushing ourselves\" or dreaming up catastrophic futures.\r\n\r\nHere’s a few good “chew toys” for your mind at this time: What was your family\'s attitude towards career? Long-term goals in general? What if you tried a gentler approach for a bit? Does your inner dialog really have to repeat what they said when you were 5 years old? What if you used a gentler voice for the next ten minutes or so?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 23-28 degrees of</i> <b><i>Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>?</i> <i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b> <i>(Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 1:57pm EST</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Tuesday afternoon (Jan. 30th)</strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, otherwise you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (Jan. 29th):</strong> <i>the</i> <i>Moon remains</i> <i>in</i> <i>protective, introverted </i><b><i>Cancer </i>all day</b> (see Sunday afternoon for details). More about all the details in next week’s forecast ;-)\r\n<h3>One Last Announcement:</h3>\r\nJoin me for my next FORECASTING FORUM, <strong>Saturday, Feb. 3rd, 2018 at</strong> 11am PST/ <strong>2pm EST</strong>/7pm GMT (London-time). <strong>Please note </strong>that we will be talking about the<strong> upcoming Eclipses: Lunar Eclipse/SuperMoon in Leo </strong>and<strong> Solar Eclipse in Aquarius.</strong>\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how to align yourself with these these potent energies coming our way, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">To register now, click here: www.AstrologerCoach.com</a>\r\n<h3>Here is a testimonial from one of our participants right after joining our most recent Forum:</h3>\r\n<blockquote><em>\"Sonja\'s Forecasting Forums make Astrology accessible for anyone.

In other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-) This Moon placement starts the build up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Wednesday afternoon). <i></i>\n\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon,</strong> <em>a Mercury/Pluto alignment 19.5 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> becomes exact at 3:50pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Monday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday.</strong> With this alignment, an all-or-nothing attitude is very likely. We have tremendous mental focus — which could tip into obsession. Choose love over fear whenever possible. Connect to the things you feel passionate about -- and connect to others, empowering them with your passions. As best as you can, choose your words carefully -- if possible, speak from that deeply connected and empowered place.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 16-23 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Aries, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more connected to this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\n\n<strong>Wednesday early evening, at 5:20pm EST</strong>, <i>the first Quarter Moon in almost 5 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> </i>becomes exact. <b>We started to feel this aspect from the moment the Moon entered Taurus this morning. </b>The Moon, in <i>steady, peaceful, comfort-oriented</i><i> </i><b><i>Taurus,</i></b> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking, rebellious </i><b><i>Aquarius.</i></b>\n\nWe feel compelled to take action. Last week on Jan. 16th, the New Moon in Capricorn was exact: \"Seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making their first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\n\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day interactions with others.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 3-7 degrees of</i><b><i> Taurus, Aquarius, Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\n\n<strong>Thursday (January 25th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful </em><strong><em>Taurus</em> all day</strong> (see Wednesday morning for details).\n\n<strong>Thursday morning</strong>,<em> an opportune Mercury/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 6:28am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Tuesday night on; it will remain strong until this Friday</strong>. This aspect is an opportunity for us to expand our thinking and express ourselves with confidence and optimism -- we share what\'s important to us from a place of open-mindedness and excitement.\n\nThis connection also creates a possibility of expansion via stepping into uncharted territory. Humor can be a great way to tap into this energetic combo. This planetary connection also favors short trips, writing, teaching, studying, and making observations. We more readily exercise good judgment and are more \"philosophical\" and open to learning.\n\nAgain, as with any opportunity, we have to \"take\" it -- it requires we take action. What could you do that would instill confidence in your exploration of the mind? Is there a new mental process that is asking to be explored?\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Capricorn,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Scorpio, Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>(Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius). </i><i></i>\n\n<strong>Thursday at 10:17pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 14.5 hours, <strong>until 12:40pm EST (Friday early afternoon)</strong>. Use this intuitive time to share about earthly issues and support each other in practical ways.\n\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday night and Friday morning ahead of time ;-)\n\n<strong>Friday (January 26th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 12:40pm EST</strong> (see Wednesday morning for details).\n\n<strong>Friday at 7:56am EST</strong>, <i>Mars changes signs from passionate </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> to adventurous </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until March 17th</strong><b>.</b> With this placement, we are going to feel a little restless, maybe even impatient at times -- we want to explore. This is a great time to get into sports or some athletic activity. We have so many ideas and interests that we can\'t just stick to one thing right now, so we may have several projects running at the same time.\n\nIt\'s a time when we prefer to improvise and just wing it. That makes it more fun and brings a sense of adventure to our day. We also like to have some good debates with others, persuading them to share our beliefs. It\'s not the best time to get too serious about life, as we prefer to feel free-flowing and excited about new things -- especially when we can learn something new ;-)\n\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more adventurous and probably more impatient. You may want to explore new sports or physical activities. If you are a </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 7 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\n\n<strong>Friday at 12:40pm EST</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday afternoon.</strong><b>.</b> For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way... The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\n\n<strong>Saturday (January 27th)</strong>: <i>the</i> <i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> </i><b>all day</b> (see Friday early afternoon for details).\n\n<strong>Saturday morning:</strong> we are asked to connect with others, socialize, and share information with them. Then, <strong>in the later morning</strong>, we are required to make some adjustments -- and we may need to do a little stretching and growing, when it comes to our inner or emotional experiences. As best as you can, be gentle with yourself and others, seek to understand before seeking to be understood.\n\n<strong>Saturday night</strong>/Sunday very early morning, <em>a challenging Mercury/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:08am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Friday morning on; it will remain strong until next week Monday night (Jan. 29th). </strong>This aspect creates some tension in our lives: We may feel anxious or stressed by a situation or an interaction with business, or something to do with our career or long-term goals.\n\nWe\'ll likely want to think outside the box. We may also want to bring some changes to a life situation or long-term goal that no longer fits. Again: We are being called to play a bigger game and may feel overwhelmed by what it all means.\n\nOur minds may prefer things to be “squared away”, traditional or established, yet at the same time be possessed by a great urge for progress and breakthroughs — and this could leave us feeling irritable — the best way to manage this is to channel some of that nervous, irritable energy into constructive pursuits.\n\nSince there\'s a tendency right now to challenge established thought, or play devil\'s advocate, it also helps to get in touch with our inner truth. Use breath to turn any fear into excitement -- and let yourself drop into your heart.\n\nExpect the unexpected, plan on disruption, revelation and breakthroughs -- during this transit, the best mind is an open mind. As best as you can, go with the flow, staying open to the new and unexpectedly different. Could you allow whatever is happening to stimulate new approaches?\n\nAs you can perhaps imagine, this is not a time to make major decisions, especially if they are hasty ;-) You can think of this as \"reorganizing\" time for the mind, like moving your furniture around.  If you feel yourself resisting the reshuffle, do your best to relax -- and maybe even sit back and enjoy the show.\n\nAnd as always, if all else fails, take it one moment at a time... Rather than jumping to conclusions, get grounded in the here and now — bringing awareness to your breath (or body) is a good way to do this.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in </i><em>22-28 degrees</em><i> of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Aries, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Uranus rules Aquarius)</i>\n\n<strong>Sunday (January 28th):</strong> <i>the</i> <i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> <strong>until 1:57pm EST</strong> (see Friday early afternoon for details).\n\n<strong>Sunday at 5:39am EST,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 8 hours,<strong> until 1:57pm EST.</strong> If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\n\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday morning until early afternoon ahead of time ;-)\n\n<strong>Sunday afternoon,</strong> <em>an opportune Mercury/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:50pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Saturday morning on; it will remain strong until Monday evening (Jan. 29th) . </strong>We have an opportunity to bring healing energy to our concrete mind and to our thoughts. We also have a chance to heal insecurities in our verbal, in-person, or email interactions.\n\nWe are better able now to tune out that automatic/critical inner voice, in favor of more loving and compassionate structures for thinking and communicating. By bringing love and understanding to our thinking processes, we have a chance to move beyond entrenched habits, like \"pushing ourselves\" or dreaming up catastrophic futures.\n\nHere’s a few good “chew toys” for your mind at this time: What was your family\'s attitude towards career? Long-term goals in general? What if you tried a gentler approach for a bit? Does your inner dialog really have to repeat what they said when you were 5 years old? What if you used a gentler voice for the next ten minutes or so?\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 23-28 degrees of</i> <b><i>Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>?</i> <i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b> <i>(Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo).</i>\n\n<strong>Sunday at 1:57pm EST</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Tuesday afternoon (Jan. 30th)</strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\n\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, otherwise you might start to feel drained and resentful.\n\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (Jan. 29th):</strong> <i>the</i> <i>Moon remains</i> <i>in</i> <i>protective, introverted </i><b><i>Cancer </i>all day</b> (see Sunday afternoon for details).

So much going on...\r\n\r\nFirstly, the Moon remains in relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking Libra all day.

These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the last Quarter Moon (which, will be exact Monday early evening...)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday morning</strong>, an opportune Sun/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 7:07am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday. We might want to take advantage of the opportunities this aspect provides -- it\'s an excellent time for creating deeper intimate connections, resolving conflicts with others, having fun and boosting our self-confidence. In fact, we may well feel particularly vital and confident -- and inner optimism can bring rewards.\r\n\r\nHumor can be a big part of this aspect too: We are able to laugh whole-heartedly, and see nothing but possibility in our lives, especially in our intimate relationships and our shared resources with others. This could bring a healthy shift of attitude toward our relationships -- whether personal or business.\r\n\r\nImagine you have a special lens which showed you the \"bigger picture\"... What would your relationships look like when you gazed through it?\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in 16-20 degrees of Capricorn, Scorpio, Virgo or Pisces?

We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday evening on; it will remain strong until this Tuesday night. We have an opportunity to grow in our social and personal relationships at this time. Humor and caring play a big role in our interactions with others.\r\n\r\nWe can call upon tolerance, optimism and co-operation when dealing with loved ones or business relationships now. Financially speaking, things are \"on the up\"; we may have opportunities now to expand our pocketbooks -- if we make sound decisions that are in the interest of everyone involved.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-20 degrees of Capricorn, Scorpio, Virgo or Pisces? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Sagittarius (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).\r\n\r\nMonday afternoon, an opportune Mars/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 2:59pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Friday evening on; it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. This brings an opportunity to connect our personal passions to our Soul\'s passions. We are resourceful and persistent when pursuing a goal, bringing tremendous effort and focus to bear.\r\n\r\nThis is an opportunity to be committed, determined and passionate, with no half-measures; it\'s also an opportunity to feel more confident about our own talents. Strategic thinking and execution is favored right now, as is eliminating waste around time and energy. Remember though: An \"opportunity\" is just an opening, it\'s not automatically granted -- we have to \"step up\" to the opening, then through it...\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-21 degrees of Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces  or Virgo? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aries or Scorpio (Mars is the ruler of Aries, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Mars\'s movements and aspects; Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)\r\n\r\nMonday early evening, at 5:25pm EST, the last Quarter Moon in 18.5 degrees of Libra becomes exact. We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Libra Sunday morning. The Moon in relationship-oriented, harmony-loving Libra makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in ambitious, goal-oriented Capricorn.\r\n\r\nThis may bring up some challenges. However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed. This Moon phase brings us closer to Jan 16th, which will bring the New Moon in Capricorn.\r\n\r\nWith the last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us take a look at what was started around the time of the last New Moon -- in this case, around Dec. 18th. We now have about a week to wrap those projects up. What -- if anything -- needs last-minute adjustments? What did you discover since Dec. 18th?

Why? <a href=\"https://goo.gl/aEhibk\">Click here</a> to read more about it\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: the first Quarter Moon in Gemini becomes exact on Friday; Eclipse season ends on Sunday, and among other things, that means you can start to take actions on your Solar Eclipse intentions that day -- and Jupiter begins its Station-phase on Sunday as well.\r\n\r\nThere will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Tuesday morning (for 8 hours), Thursday morning (for almost 12.5 hours), and Saturday afternoon (for a little over 7 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (February 19th): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><i>pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries </i><strong>all day.</strong></b> It will remain there <b>until Tuesday afternoon</b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday</strong><strong> </strong><b>morning</b> starts out harmoniously and with an urge to explore something new that helps us understand the bigger picture all around.<!--more-->\r\n\r\nLater (<b>in the evening</b>), we are invited to make adjustments and find creative solutions around personal desires and needs, versus our deep passion and focus on long-term goals. As best as you can, allow yourself to make space for both; flexibility and adaptability are key if we mean to move forward with our plans and projects...\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (February 20th): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><i>pioneering, fast-paced </i><strong><b><i>Aries</i></b></strong><strong><em> </em>until 2:12pm EST </strong>(see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:11am EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for 8 hours, <strong>until 2:12pm EST. </strong>Use this intuitive time to connect to people that can enthusiastically support your projects and share with them what you have going on.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday morning until early afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 2:12pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves</i><b> </b><i>into steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Thursday evening.</strong> We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.\r\n\r\nIn other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (February 21st):</strong> <em>t</em><em>he Moon remains in steady, peaceful</em><strong><em> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> </em>all day </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon,</strong> <i>a Venus/Neptune alignment in 13.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> </i>becomes exact at 1:42pm EST. <b>We started to feel this aspect on Monday night, it will be strong until Friday night</b>. It asks us to dissolve anything that keeps us from opening our hearts more fully. This connection makes us dream of Soul connections with others.\r\n\r\nWe are highly romantic and may turn a blind eye to \"what is\", in pursuit of a fantasy that we want or need to have fulfilled. Beware of anything that sounds too good to be true -- whether that\'s in connection with people or money -- it might indeed be \"too good to be true\" ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus or Libra</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Mercury/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 3:23pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning on; it will remain strong until this Thursday. </strong>This is an opportunity to take responsibility for our thinking structures and be really honest with ourselves.\r\n\r\nHow can we get the most from this opportunity? As best as you can, allow your intuitive body to guide you. Commit to understanding your conditioning and thinking processes.\r\n\r\nIf we take this chance to see things more clearly and connect to ourselves more lovingly, we could get a good dose of reality, and an ability to focus on long-term issues. Remember: opportunities are openings; they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 5-9 degrees of Capricorn, Scorpio, Pisces or Virgo? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (Feb. 22nd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <b><i>Taurus</i></b></em><strong><em> </em>until 7:07pm EST </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 6:46am EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 12.5 hours, <strong>until 7:07pm EST</strong>. Use this intuitive time to balance your desire for comfort and security with your desire for deeper emotional connections with yourself and others.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday Day ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 7:07pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <strong>until Saturday late evening</strong><b>.</b> For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way...\r\n\r\nThe one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-) This Moon placement starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Friday very early morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (Feb. 23rd):</strong> <em>the </em><i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b></strong>(see Thursday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday very early morning, at 3:09am EST, </strong><i>the first Quarter Moon in 4.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> </i>becomes exact (<b>we <strong>started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered <em>Gemini</em> on Thursday evening</strong>). </b>The Moon in chatty, versatile <b>Gemini</b> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in sensitive, compassionate <b>Pisces.</b>\r\n\r\nLast week (Feb. 15th) saw a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse. If we set some intentions on Feb. 17th, 18th or 19th, we are now ready to make some adjustments. This is a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum -- in fact, we may feel compelled to act, stirring up anxiety or overwhelm, so just go one breath at a time.\r\n\r\nRemember, we\'re still in Eclipse Season until Sunday, and thus don\'t have all the information we need to move brand-new projects forward yet. Allow for changes, remain flexible and adaptable, find creative solutions in day-to-day interactions with others. Allow for new downloads and for the release of “old” codes and conditioning. Simply put: an open mind and heart will serve us best (that\'s true in general, but especially true until Feb. 25th ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 2-7 degrees of</i><b><i> Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (February 24th): </strong><em>the </em><i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b></strong><strong><em> </em>until 10:06pm EST </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 2:58pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 10:06pm EST. </strong>Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 10:06pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Monday late evening (Feb. 26th)</strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday night, </strong><em> </em><i>Jupiter starts to slow down (station) as it reaches 23 degrees of </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Scorpio</strong><i>, preparing for its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. </i>Jupiter will come to a halt on March 8th;<i> </i>its <i>station-phase</i> last <b>until March 20th.</b> We will feel its energy more forcefully during the station-phase.\r\n\r\nWe start to be more fully aware of Jupiter\'s energy; this awareness helps us to get more connected to those energies within us. We get to see where we need to embrace them more fully, so that we can use them in a healthy way, without getting lost in the lower vibrations of their expression.\r\n\r\n<b>Until March 20th</b>, we have to face what this planet is trying to communicate to us: Jupiter represents our desire to seek insight via the gaining of knowledge. Some of this planet\'s keywords: morality, gratitude, hope, honor, law. Jupiter is the planet of possibility, optimism, and growth (including mental and spiritual growth). Jupiter is also associated with a sense of humor, goodwill, and mercy.\r\n\r\nThe lower expressions of Jupiter include \"Oh, the heck with it\", \"I deserve this and more\", \"the rules do not apply to me\" -- generally speaking: too much of a good thing, blind optimism, excess, stretching the truth, overindulgence.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> 21-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Taurus, Leo or Aquarius</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this station phase. This is also true for those of us who have our</i><i> or Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter rules Sagittarius, so Sagittarius will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (February 25th): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><em><i>protective, nurturing</i></em><strong><em><i> </i>Cancer </em>all day </strong>(see Saturday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Venus/Mars aspect </em>becomes exact at 7:01am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday night (Feb. 27th). </strong>This aspect asks that we stretch ourselves with regard to the feminine/masculine dynamic as it manifests both “inside” and “outside”: A shift needs to occur.\r\n\r\nThis can show up in several ways, either through romantic and sexual tensions that we might experience with others. We may tease each other, flirt with each other and/or play hard to get. Or we may find ourselves arguing in a very passionate way with the opposite sex. Competitiveness, anger, frustration, or angst might be present. Either way, this can be a very passionate time.\r\n\r\nBalancing and integrating masculine and feminine energies within ourselves would be very useful at this time.\r\n\r\nIf we experience these energies internally, there may be a desire for adventure -- or just for being still and \"adventuring\" into ourselves, our heart-space, our inner universe. The challenge might be that we feel pulled in two directions -- on the one hand, we want to feel \"one\" with others and connect to them through love and kindness. On the other hand, we want to be free and explore something new, outside of our familiar environment.\r\n\r\nWhat might it look like, if you made room for both of these energies?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in 15-22 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra or Aries</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars is the ruler of Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Neptune alignment in 13.5 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:26am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Monday night (Feb. 26th). </strong>This aspect could take our connection to our intuition even deeper -- if we can allow it.\r\n\r\nSpiritual and creative endeavors are highly recommended during this time -- especially those involving music or creative writing. This is definitely a highly imaginative time. As best as you can, go with the flow and -- just for now -- let go of wanting to figure it all out.\r\n\r\nThe highest vibration of this aspect is idealistic, highly intuitive and romantic; on a lower level vibration, we might not see reality clearly and we might easily feel overwhelmed. We might get confused or disappointed; things might seem a little foggy, especially when it comes to communication, processing information, public transportation or daily traffic.\r\n\r\nCheck in with others before signing any documents or making long-term decisions for those three days: get reality checks! As best as you can, let go and let flow ;-) On the other hand, trust the divine timing of things and have faith that everything will turn out exactly as it needs to.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of  </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Sun/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 12:46pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (Feb. 27th). </strong>This aspect provides an opportunity to become aware of what needs to happen if we are to accomplish something concrete.\r\n\r\nWe have common sense at our disposal; we are willing to look reality in the eye and take responsibility for our life and how we live it. This is an opportunity to be more aware of our heart connection to the divine and to our intuitive selves -- and how it can benefit us both in terms of long-term goals, and in what we are focused on in the here and now. Again, remember: opportunities are openings, they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 5-9 degrees</i><b><i> </i></b><i>of </i><b><i>Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)</i><i></i>\r\n\r\nAlso on<strong> Sunday, </strong><em>Eclipse Season ends</em> that started on January 21st.

These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 1:46pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 9 hours, <strong>until 10:56pm EST.</strong> Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 10:56pm EST</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey <b>until Thursday morning. </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s therefore an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can therefore be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so as best you can, be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free.

As best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through your relationships.\r\n\r\nWe\'re also ready to experiment with our financial undertakings -- good places to look: all things \"tech\" (electronics, technology, internet); metaphysics; the arts; group activities. This is not the best time to make long-term financial investments, unless you had an intuitive flash ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>?

Once you know where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\", whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (February 11th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><strong>all day (see <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Saturday late evening</span> for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning, <span style=\"color: #993300;\">w</span></strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">e are experiencing a sense of maturity -- and commitment towards ourselves and our long-term goals.

Each individual coaching session is tailored to your specific needs, bringing you back to your true self, your higher self -- place of inner calm. Release blockages, fears or beliefs that have been holding you back -- and live your life from a place of acceptance, open-heartedness and possibility for growth and expansion. Sessions are 50 minutes long.</p>\n<p>In the past few decades, world-class business people, public speakers and others who face demanding and rigorous professional demands have sought coaching to help them be their “personal best.” For centuries, top athletes have used coaches; they understand that the only thing that will get them through the finish line is their own commitment combined with skilled support.</p>\n<p>Now, more and more people from all walks of life are making a commitment to having a coach that sees their potential 100%, gives them pointers and supports them, no matter what.</p>\n<p>When you are seeking to go beyond your current level--personally, financially, emotionally, spiritually or in all areas of your life--Sonja can show you how to fine-tune your perceptions and help you to create awareness, clarity and skill that catapult you forward in a meaningful way.</p>\n<h3>Why Astrology and Coaching?</h3>\n<p>Astrology is a really great tool to understand yourself better and to help you align with your highest potential and with the energies as they are moment to moment. The coaching method Sonja uses in combination with astrology is called The Sedona Method. The Sedona Method is a wonderful tool to use for releasing fears, \"old\" belief patterns, suppressed feelings -- really, any energy blockages that keep you from being where you want to be.</p>\n<p>Sonja\'s coaching is a supportive tool in releasing the \"old\" programming and conditioning that your day-to-day mind is attached to and helps you connect to who you truly are and who you choose to be moment to moment. This creates happiness within you and opens up greater space for your growth and evolution -- from a loving place, not a fearful one.</p>\n<h3>Coaching and Site Membership</h3>\n<p>Coaching sessions can be purchased with or without site membership. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Star members</a> receive a 10% discount on coaching sessions and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/superstar-membership/\">SuperStar m</a><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/superstar-membership/\">embers</a> receive one 25-minute coaching session with Sonja per month and 15% off additional full-length sessions.</p>\n\n[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\"1_3\"][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"3.0.60\" background_layout=\"light\" text_orientation=\"left\" border_style=\"solid\"]\n\n<p>[products ids=\"1614\"]</p>\n\n[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"3.0.60\" background_layout=\"light\" text_orientation=\"left\" border_style=\"solid\"]\n\n<p>[products ids=\"1616\"]</p>\n\n[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]', 'Coaching', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '4277-autosave-v1', '', '', '2018-01-03 13:28:06', '2018-01-03 18:28:06', '', '4277', 'https://astrologercoach.com/uncategorized/4277-autosave-v1/', '0', 'revision', '', '0');

Keep your fingers crossed for me ;-) I\'m super-excited and at the same time I am also feeling the pressure of the enormity with this amazing new beginning for myself and everyone out there who is going to join us. But as my spiritual coach likes to remind me, \"Life is an ongoing experiment\" and \"True professionalism is about being able to be flexible and kind about unforeseen situations that come up, allowing ourselves to learn from them and finding out how to make creative adjustments.\"</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>This week\'s headline items</b>: <span style=\"color: #800000;\">the New Moon in Capricorn becomes exact on Tuesday late evening; Venus changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius on Wednesday evening, and the Sun will do the same on Friday late evening. Last but not least, Eclipse season begins on Sunday and will last until Feb. 25th.</span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>There will also be three <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week</strong>: Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning (for 2 hours), Friday morning (for a little over 8.5 hours), and Sunday evening (for a little over 5 hours).</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday (January 15th): </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day.</b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> It will journey there <b>until Wednesday very early morning. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, be truthful with yourself about where you are at: Do you actually have a realistic view about what is so, right now, in your life? Not what you wish it to be or what you would like it to be or where you see yourself going.... What is so right now? Once you know where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\", whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday very early morning, </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">becomes exact at 1:59am EST.</span><b> We started to feel this aspect from Friday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday morning. </b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Until Friday, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">23-27 degrees</span> of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday late evening, </b><i>a long-term, opportune Jupiter/Pluto aspect </i>becomes exact at 11:13pm EST.<b> We started to feel this aspect from Tuesday (Jan. 3rd) on; it will remain strong until Wednesday (Jan. 31st).</b><i> </i>This combo is an opportunity to deepen our relationships: business and personal alike. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">A positive attitude and a deeper trust in our connections with others, gives us the chance to build something meaningful and share our passions with others. We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support us in achieving professional or personal goals. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: Where in my life could I hone into solving situations, so I can get to where I intent to go? How could a passionate approach support my long-term goals? How could other people\'s resources support my ability to transform and stand in my power?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><b><i> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">17-21 degrees</span> </i></b><i>of</i><b><i> Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces </i></b><i>or <strong>Virgo</strong></i><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces). </i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday (January 16th): </b><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><em>t</em><b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">he Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</span></i></b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(see Sunday mid-afternoon for details). </span></span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><b>Tuesday evening, at 9:17pm EST</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,</span><em> the Moon aligns with the Sun in almost 27 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></em>. This starts a new Moon cycle. This is a good time to go within and seed anything we would like to accomplish for the next 28 days and maybe even beyond. Feel free to watch my New Moon video as well :-) </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">We are also about to enter Eclipse season, as the the first of two Eclipses will becomes exact on Jan. 31st with the next Lunation. I will talk more about this in my next Monthly Forecasting Forum on Feb. 3rd. Feel free to join us, as we talk about the upcoming Eclipses: Lunar and Solar Eclipse -- one of them also being a SuperMoon and therefore more potent. To register, click here now: http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">This is the first New Moon of the year and since <strong>Capricorn</strong> represents the quest for mastery on the physical plane, ask yourself: What is my relationship to the physical? Do I respect the laws of matter? Am I going about things in a realistic way? How committed am I really? Where does my inner compass point? What am I willing to undergo to overcome adversity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">The highest vibration of <strong>Capricorn</strong> is the development of responsibility, resourcefulness, reliability, self-mastery, the ability to set realistic goals and healthy boundaries. The next 28 days are a perfect time to work on these areas. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">As best as you can, prepare for the future, make commitments and recognize responsibilities -- in other words, nurture your dreams in a realistic manner -- focus on setting and achieving practical and attainable long-term goals, one step at a time, one day at a time -- not focusing on immediate results but focusing on the quality of the foundation you are building.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> also invites us to set realistic limits and boundaries, which allow everyone involved to learn from the consequences of their choices. Where in my life am I able to set realistic limits and boundaries? Where is that an obstacle in your life? What am I afraid of in those moments? What would be the worst of that?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> relates directly to the level of our own maturity. We start out on a more instinctual level, simply wanting to get the results so we can survive on the physical plane. This stage is basically fear-based and has a scarcity-mentality. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">Once we get better at living on the earth plane, and we understand the rules better, we move towards ambition and wanting to challenge ourselves, so we can reach our goals and gain recognition and rewards in the process. This phase is still sometimes fear-based but we are already taking more responsibility for our part in achieving things and manifesting on a physical plane. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">Eventually, as we grow spiritually and learn more about the laws of matter, earthly ambitions are eventually replaced by spiritual service. We recognize that personal gain is not the highest goal to reach, we understand that by making a contribution to society, we are giving to ourselves and others -- surpassing the physical appearance of separation and connecting to life in it\'s highest form. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">On this highest level, we are living in accordance with our conscience, from a place of maturity and inner guidance.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">Ask yourself: What would my life look like if I developed 5% more discipline? 5% more integrity? 5% more commitment towards something that aligns both with myself and with life? What if I took 100% responsibility for my life, starting right now? What if I also responded to situations in a way that respects and serves all those involved? </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"> </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><em>This New Moon aligns with Venus and Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong> and squares Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>.</em> First let\'s focus on the alignment with Venus and Pluto: This conveys an extra-potent messages about our perception of physical reality -- time and space -- and about our relationship to love, our values, power or feeling empowered. Ask yourself: If I truly had choice in the matter, what kind of future would I choose to step into? Who would I choose to connect with? Why? Who would I not choose to connect with? Why not?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><em>Venus in conjunction with the New Moon</em> advises us to choose wisely and from the heart. Ask yourself: Am I true to myself? Am I working too hard without making enough progress? Am I expressing my feelings truthfully? Or hiding my true feelings from others? Am I in touch with what\'s important to me -- especially in regards to relationships? Am I happy? Could I love and respect myself and life 5% more?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">With this many planets in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, it is important for us to take breaks — or simply slow down and allow ourselves to tune in. It’s important to explore ways to stay heart-centered and grounded -- seek tools or people to help you with that exploration. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">Now let\'s talk about <em>the square to Uranus</em> -- the energy of freedom, innovation and reform: This combo focuses our attention on the right use of power, which respects the rights, needs, and gifts of all beings. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">Ask yourself: Where do I need to be more courageous? Where do I need to \"think different\"? What if I became 5% more aware of my personal power? Where might I have given it away to others? And how might I begin to reclaim it? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">Remember that change is not always progress; consider all options first and then respond, rather than react. Be flexible, and be willing to entertain new possibilities. What if -- in small or large ways -- I could help birth a new age, and with it a new world, one based on heart-centered consciousness and individual freedoms?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><em>The New Moon also sextiles Mars in <strong>Scorpio</strong> and Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong></em>. This is an opportunity for healing our collective wounds around feeling spiritually disconnected in our world of accomplishments. We get a chance to connect more deeply with others and bring a powerful approach to what we are currently building and working towards. Our actions tend to be in greater alignment with our deepest desires.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">Ask yourself: What if I could be productive and gentle with myself at the same time? What would a compassionate approach guarantee? What is pushing or pulling at me? How could my actions become a source of empowerment? What if I allowed all actions to flow from a deep sense of authentic connectedness? What if I forgave myself and others for having flaws or limitations?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">Given that it rules <strong>Capricorn</strong>, Saturn\'s placement in its own sign plays an important role with this New Moon: If you want to know how Saturn\'s journey in <strong>Capricorn</strong> will impact you personally in the next three years, feel free to purchase my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, <a style=\"color: #800000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-recorded-webinars/\">on my website</a>, <em>or</em> for a quick preview <a style=\"color: #800000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/5067/\">check out my 30-minute excerpt of the webinar</a>\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><em>Saturn conjuncts Mercury in <strong>Capricorn</strong></em>. This reminds us of the power of our mind; that our thoughts and words matter. What am I doing, career-wise? What is the long-term plan? How can I honor and share those goals with others in a clear and honest way? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">It\'s time to seriously think about what no longer works. As best as you can, investigate your thought processes: What feels no longer useful in my approach? What if I got real about that? What might be possible if I took 5% more responsibility for my inner dialog, and the energy those thoughts disperse?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>To sum all of this up:</strong> We are invited to become mature, responsible planetary citizens, while honoring our individuality -- in other words, making a difference, one by one -- even when it seems as though we are too little to create a big shift on our own. No matter how small it may seem, every ripple moves something, changes something...</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">This cosmic combo also directs our attention to our bottom lines. What matters most to me? What are my priorities? Am I living my truth, and thus loving my goals? Where is it best to be flexible, and where must I remain focused and in alignment with my commitments? When have I felt the happiest? What if I committed 5% more to the things, people and places in my life that make me happy? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">Inner strength and self-reliance come almost entirely from dealing with adversity. Obstacles are a part of life -- they show us where we have an opportunity to become more capable -- and also where we have gone out of alignment with outer reality or inner truth. Am I on the right track, as best as I can tell? Am I walking my own path? Or someone elses? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">What obstacles can I see or sense from here? What if there was value in those obstacles? Could I send them gratitude for being given the opportunity to get back into greater alignment with myself and reality?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">Choose wisely for 2018: participate consciously in the evolution of existence on this planet; not from a place of fear, but from a place of knowing your inner strength and your own personal power -- the power of your heart and your humanity! Trust your inner truth! Feel free to watch my New Moon video as well :-)</span>\r\n\r\n<em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in one of the following placements: 25-29 degrees of <strong>Capricorn, Libra, Aries,</strong> or <strong>Cancer</strong>?

The coaching method Sonja uses in addition to her astrology practice is called The Sedona Method. The Sedona Method is a wonderful tool to use for releasing fears, \"old\" belief patterns, suppressed feelings -- really, any energy blockages that keep you from being where you want to be.\r\n\r\nSonja has chosen the Sedona Method because it is a gentle, yet effective technique that has supported her personally and many of her clients over the years with releasing the \"old\" programming and conditioning that our day-to-day mind is attached to. Sonja\'s coaching/healing sessions help you connect to who you truly are and who you choose to be moment to moment. This creates happiness within you and opens up greater space for your growth and evolution -- from a loving place, not a fearful one.\r\n\r\nCoaching/Healing sessions are meant as a support system for in between Readings, and in addition to the Astrology Readings Sonja offers.

Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, be truthful with yourself about where you are at: Do you actually have a realistic view about what is so, right now, in your life? Not what you wish it to be or what you would like it to be or where you see yourself going.... What is so right now? Once you know where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\", whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday very early morning, </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">becomes exact at 1:59am EST.</span><b> We started to feel this aspect from Friday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday morning. </b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others.

Last but not least, Eclipse season begins on Sunday and will last until Feb. 25th.</span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>There will also be three <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week</strong>: Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning (for 2 hours), Friday morning (for 8.5 hours), and Sunday evening (for a little over 5 hours).</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday (January 15th): </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day.</b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> It will journey there <b>until Wednesday very early morning. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, be truthful with yourself about where you are at: Do you actually have a realistic view about what is so, right now, in your life? Not what you wish it to be or what you would like it to be or where you see yourself going.... What is so right now? Once you know where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\", whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday very early morning, </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">becomes exact at 1:59am EST.</span><b> We started to feel this aspect from Friday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday morning. </b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Until Friday, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">23-27 degrees</span> of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday late evening, </b><i>a long-term, opportune Jupiter/Pluto aspect </i>becomes exact at 11:13pm EST.<b> We started to feel this aspect from Tuesday (Jan. 3rd) on; it will remain strong until Wednesday (Jan. 31st).</b><i> </i>This combo is an opportunity to deepen our relationships: business and personal alike. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">A positive attitude and a deeper trust in our connections with others, gives us the chance to build something meaningful and share our passions with others. We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support us in achieving professional or personal goals. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: Where in my life could I hone into solving situations, so I can get to where I intent to go? How could a passionate approach support my long-term goals? How could other people\'s resources support my ability to transform and stand in my power?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><b><i> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">17-21 degrees</span> </i></b><i>of</i><b><i> Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces </i></b><i>or <strong>Virgo</strong></i><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces). </i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday (January 16th): </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Moon remains in </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(see Sunday mid-afternoon for details). </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday evening, at 9:17pm EST</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the </span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New Moon aligns with the Sun in almost 27 degrees of </span></i><b><i>Capricorn. </i></b><b>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered </b><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><b> last Sunday (Jan. 14th) mid-afternoon. </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(</span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">24-29 degrees)</span></i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Wednesday (January 17th): </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Moon remains in </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>until 3:32am EST </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(see Sunday mid-afternoon for details). </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Wednesday at 1:30am EST, </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">we enter a </span><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moon void of course (VoC)</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that lasts for 2 hours, </span><b>until 3:32am EST</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Now remove one of the legs. You now have two legs “opposite” each other and a third one at right angles to each of the other two; together, they make the shape of a “T”. </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687975\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687977\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">This is not a very stable, well-balanced table, as it has an “empty” spot where a leg should be.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687978\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687980\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">Likewise, a T-Square is a formation of 3 planets that together form the shape of a “T” in a chart — two form an “opposition”, the third one usually “squares” them both. </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687981\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687983\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">The third planet is known as the “focus planet”. Just like our table, this planet has an “empty leg” directly across from it in the chart.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687984\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687986\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">Why does this matter? Because the “focus planet” in a T-Square brings more stress, and thus a more urgent demand for our growth. We resolve and relieve that stress, and thereby ease the growth process, by bringing the focus planet’s higher expression to that “empty leg” in the chart. </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687987\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687989\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">Let’s get down to the specifics of this particular T-square:</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687990\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"><b></b>\r\n</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687992\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">As previously mentioned, it involves <b>Pluto in Capricorn, Jupiter in Libra, and Uranus in Aries.</b> All of these planets have been within 5 degrees of each other since the T-Square formed back in November and will remain so until early April. Jupiter in Libra and Uranus in Aries form the “opposition” legs of the table, while Pluto in Capricorn is the \"focus planet\".</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687993\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687995\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">This is a very powerful combo.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687996\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687998\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">It\'s asking us to be completely honest, with ourselves and others, about our intentions and motivations -- especially around long-term goals. We are also asking this of our leaders right now, we want them to be honest, to have authentic intentions.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687999\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688001\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">This aspect brings the message that each of us has the power to make a difference in the world… that we need not just give our power away to world “leaders” or “influencers”. It’s saying “We all have power, we all can make a difference — Own that! Seize the moment! Take up your courage with both hands and move forward!\"</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688002\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688004\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">We are at a turning point: Empowering others is now key! Notice when you try to force your beliefs on others — that could introduce an element of disempowerment for them and us.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688005\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688007\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">There is also some tension between relationships and long-term goals. We may ask how our relationships support us in accomplishing those long-term goals. At the root of this are seemingly conflicting desires: We want to expand our experience of harmony, balance and collaboration, all while passionately building something empowering over the long haul. It\'s not always easy to “square” these energies.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688008\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688010\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">As best as you can, stay flexible, make adjustments, find creative solutions when it comes to these very different desires and focuses. If we feel boxed in to something inauthentic, we may rebel or act contrary. This will be even more true within our relationships -- this could bring in some restlessness or instability, perhaps related to our business relationships or long-term goals. </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688011\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688013\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">As best as you can, don\'t take things too personally -- and stay as flexible as possible. Allow there to be breakthroughs, shifts, changes. As always, change could be uncomfortable — perhaps because we like what\'s familiar -- or because we want change so badly that we can\'t handle the in-between phase that comes will all transitions… it’s an invitation to stretch ourselves and step into the unknown.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688014\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688016\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">Here’s some \"self-coaching” questions to ease you on your way:</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688017\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688019\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">What if that \"something unexpected” around the corner was guaranteed to change my life for the better?

How might we bring this about? The best place to start is to honor ourselves and express our unique spark. </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688029\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688031\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">All of this accelerates the breakdown of long-standing patterns: we are invited individually and collectively to resolve core karmic lessons -- shifting from an old paradigm to a new one. </span>What might a \"new paradigm\" be?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688032\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688034\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">How can we accomplish change without discounting input from others? </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688035\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688037\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">What if change were something we could simply allow, rather than something that involved aggression?</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688038\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688040\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">As best as you can, take it one moment at a time, there is no need to rush anything ;-) Ask yourself: Could I allow myself to be uncomfortable, just for right now?</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688041\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688043\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">The position of this T-square in our birth chart shows the area of life in which we are developing not only courage and initiative (Aries), but also diplomacy and collaborative spirit (Libra)<i>, together with</i> responsibility and integrity (Capricorn). </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688044\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688046\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">This T-Square is also asking us to redefine personal and collective freedom. We are invited to release old patterns, particularly around gender, so we can each fulfill our unique role at this critical juncture on Earth. Much like the 1960’s, we are laying the groundwork for future generations right now.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688047\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688049\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">Just as was true then, we need to let our vision direct our thoughts and actions, rather than our fear.

That we are not in this body for very long, means that there is a certain degree of urgency -- almost like a responsibility — to make it count for something. If we are like a single drop of rain in a mighty rainstorm, why not at least be a drop that makes a ripple when it returns to the ocean? Who knows, perhaps as your ripple meets others, it might create a beautiful resonance with everything around it -- a harmony that ripples down through eternity…</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688077\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688079\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">I therefore invite you to be passionate about life.

I\'m getting ready for all the awesome change that\'s coming our way this month! Yahooooo, bring it on!\r\n\r\n<b>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement:</b>\r\nBecause it is <strong>my Birthday this week</strong>, I wanted to give something of value, and I thought that getting a <strong>30% discount</strong> on my 50-minute Coaching/Healing sessions, <strong>this week only,</strong> would be a nice gift for everyone... especially for those of you who are already doing monthly 25-minute Coaching/Healing sessions with me via the SuperStar Membership.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/coaching/\">Click here to get your 50-min. sessions</a> and use this coupon (after adding one or multiple Coaching sessions to your cart): BIRTHDAY_GIFT\r\n\r\n<strong>PS:</strong> You do not need to schedule your session for this week, you can schedule it anytime between now and Nov. 2018. So feel free to buy multiple sessions, if you want to stock up at this super-low price ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: the New Moon in Taurus becomes exact on Tuesday morning; Uranus changes signs form Aries to Taurus on Tuesday late morning; Mars changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius on Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning; Venus changes signs from Gemini to Cancer on Saturday morning; and last but not least, the Sun changes signs from Taurus to Gemini on Sunday late evening.\r\n\r\nThere will be four <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: Tuesday late afternoon (for almost 15 minutes), Thursday afternoon (for 3.5 hours), Saturday late afternoon (for 2 hours), and Sunday late evening (for 22.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (May 14th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Taurus</strong></em><strong> all day. </strong>We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.\r\n\r\nIn other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing until Tuesday late afternoon? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early morning: </strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Slowing down a little and focusing on what\'s right in front of us that needs to be taken care of, so we can get to the next phase of what we are trying to accomplish, is most beneficial for the next couple of hours.</span> (Moon in <strong>Taurus</strong> trines Saturn in <strong>Capricorn at 4:58am EDT -- post at 4am EDT)</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late afternoon, </strong>we have an opportunity to meet our need for physical comfort with a gentler, more intuitive approach. (Moon in <strong>Taurus</strong> sextiles Neptune in <strong>Pisces at 5:44pm EDT -- post at 3:45pm EDT)</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday evening,</strong> <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">we are being asked to<strong> </strong>balance our need for physical comfort and security with our desire for deeper emotional connections with ourselves and others. What might be possible if we could integrate one with the other? What if we could see the bigger picture?</span> (Moon in <strong>Taurus</strong> opposes Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio at 8:08pm EDT -- post at 6pm EDT)</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday </strong>is also the <i>last day before the New Moon</i> becomes exact. This is a great day to let go of what no longer serves us. As best as you can, avoid jumping the gun: Rather than launching into brand-new endeavors or connections, wait until a couple of days has passed after the New Moon. Some of us might feel a little anxious or nervous today: As best as you can, get quiet and go within… Listen to the silence between the sounds… Find peace in the connection with your innermost and truest Self.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (15th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus</strong></em> <strong>until 4:43pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 7:48am EDT</strong>, the <i>New Moon in 24.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> becomes exact. This marks the beginning of a new Moon cycle. As best as you can, get really quiet, and see if you are getting any new messages or ideas. If you are, harvest them, and fold them into any intentions you set for the new Moon cycle -- I will talk about this process later in the forecast, and I’ll even give you the very best and most potent times for doing it :-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Click here to watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/IvgN28_yRKc\r\n\r\n<i>This New Moon in steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> places more focus on our interactions with the physical world -- you could say that we seek a healthier relationship with “matter\", one in which we are neither too attached, or too disconnected from our bodies, resources (such as money), and the planet we co-inhabit. We are powerfully reminded to take the time to honor the only planet we can currently live on — The Earth — we are called on to honor its resources and beauty.\r\n\r\nIn much the same spirit, we are invited also to honor ourselves, our bodies, our talents. This is a good time for reevaluating our relationship to money and possessions, and for discovering what truly makes us happy and fulfilled. Check in with yourself: What came to mind when you read this?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon trines Mars and Pluto in </i><b><i>Capricorn. </i></b>This combo promotes a realistic and responsible long-term approach. We have the chance to better align our goals with our values; it\'s easier for us to sustain what we have started, and bring a heightened sense of commitment to it all.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I am completely honest, what do I truly want for myself long-term? What really matters to me? If I felt the need to connect to something in a passionate way, what might that be? What truly fulfills me? And what modest step could I take today to move towards my goals?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus, </i>the ruler of Taurus, <i>moves through </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> at the time of the New Moon. This reminds us to learn and discuss Taurean issues: resources, appreciation of physical matter, natural beauty etc.\r\n\r\nThe spiritual quest of <b>Gemini</b>, on the other hand, concerns the development of perception, thought, and communication. As the creative power of the feminine, Venus in Gemini represents <i>the \"bringing together of opposites\" -- </i>people with different values, for example.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> When I picture this, what do I see? What might this look like in my various communities? How about within my relationships? Could exploring duality help me understand different points of views? Might curiosity be a vital tool in all of this? If so, what could I get curious about? What would 5% more flexibility do for my ability to relate to others?\r\n\r\nAnother thing worth mentioning: <i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>also</i> <i>makes a</i> <i>\"mutual reception\" to Mercury in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> <b><i>--</i></b> in other words, these planets are in each other\'s signs until May 19th; during that time, they \"mutually\" support each other\'s agenda. This gives us the opportunity to connect mind and heart.\r\n\r\nWe seek out mental stimulation: teaching, learning, writing, collecting and processing information, etc.... and we want to share the output in practical ways, applying it to the real world and ourselves, our values, and our physical experience of life.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, allow yourself to take your time processing things that you just started engaging with. In the meantime, stay open to learning, remain curious, and remember that every teacher is also a student and vice versa.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What if I listened to myself 5% more? What if I had 5% more faith that I\'d be heard? What might I discover about my thinking processes and my value? Is it possible my value doesn\'t need to be \"earned\"? What if, without my being alive, nothing else could be as it is?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus, in the last degree of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, makes a square to Mars in the last degree of </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>. As some of you already know, when a planet is the last degree of a sign, its energy is more exalted, as it knows that a shift is coming -- you could say that the rumbling of its vibration gets louder.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What am I waking to? Where do I need to assert myself? How might I do that while still keeping what I want to create long-term in view? What has been holding me back? What am I ready to address and change? What needs to happen so I can move forward in a mature fashion?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus moves into </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact (more on that below) -- starting its preview through this peace-loving, sensual sign until early November of this year -- I say \"preview\", because Uranus will return to <b>Taurus</b> in March, 2019, for a 7 year-transit. These next 28 days will be ripe with shifts and changes, so stay centered in the here and now, expect the unexpected and allow yourself to make an inner shift -- as this paves the way for an outer shift. Flexibility is key!\r\n\r\nWe went over this upcoming shift in more detail in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how Uranus\'s journey through Taurus until 2026 impacts you personally, feel free to get the 120 min. long webinar on the subject; <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product-category/webinars/\">for more info or to purchase, click here</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/UqfQLJ\">https://goo.gl/UqfQLJ</a> The fee for this is only $37, even though the webinar is 30 minutes longer than my usual webinars -- partly because we also cover Chiron\'s journey through Aries until 2027.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">You can also check out a brief excerpt of this webinar, here:</a> <a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">https://goo.gl/844ZMG</a> Enjoy ;-) I also offer a <strong>Special Offer this month</strong>: sign up for Star or SuperStar Membership <strong>by May 31st</strong> (or upgrade from Universal to Star Membership via \"My Account\"), and get this webinar for FREE! If you are already a Star or SuperStar Member check your email for the link of this webinar -- it was emailed to you on April 30th ;-)\r\n\r\nThink back over the last 7 years (i.e. March 2011 - May 2018), while Uranus was in <b>Aries</b>, and <b>ask yourself: </b>Where did I make progress on my goals and desires? What structures needed to be renewed for me to break through and find a new or unique approach to who I\'m being? Do some of those structures actually need to break down? What self-realizations make me stand out and go after things in a more original way? How did this 7-year transit through Aries support my vision?\r\n\r\nIf you have a Birth chart, and know what to look for, look to see what Houses are connected to the <b>Aries</b> energy -- and if that sounds like I\'m talking a foreign language, feel free to watch my video: <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">How to Read Your Birth Chart</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/KMmUUz\">https://goo.gl/KMmUUz</a> <i>or</i> join our next Forecasting Forum on <b>May 31st at 7pm EDT</b>, and ask me your questions there. We will cover the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that starts in June -- that will also be connected to Aries in your chart -- I will definitely explain this in great detail in the Forum ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> conjuncts Uranus in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> -- this alignment is exact on May 13th, in 29º of Aries, two days before the New Moon becomes exact<i>.</i><b><i> </i></b>This could bring some exciting possibilities, perhaps even a leap forward in the evolution of our consciousness, with flashes of insight into our own mental workings and some original thoughts coming through, etc.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, and as much as you want to (of course), stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What might a true breakthrough look like? What insights am I receiving? What is it I\'m learning about myself every day that might change my whole perspective?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury also makes a trine to Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>. With Saturn</i> being a part of the equation it is important for us to learn something new using a mature and realistic approach.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What concrete, practical plans could I make? Could I allow myself to take it one step at a time, staying grounded in the here and now? What does a truthful, realistic alignment with long-term goals look like to me?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> trines Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>at the time of the New Moon, bringing the potential for spiritual inspiration -- and it\'s a great time for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>How might more trust and empathy help my perception of intimate relationships? What might be possible for me if I allowed for things to unfold? What if I allowed myself to see the perfection in everything that I perceive right here, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> It is important to remember that we are part of nature, just like a tree, or an ocean -- our actions and interactions with the only home we have will change it, for good or ill. We are also developing an increasingly profound conscious awareness over the next 28 days that connects us to all that is alive.\r\n\r\nTo bring all this together,<b> ask yourself:</b> What baby steps could I take for the planet I co-inhabit? What would show my love and appreciation? What do I sense when I get very quiet and tune into my own energy field and the energy all around me? What really matters to my heart?\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <i>not</i> during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions </i>would be <b>between</b> <b>7:48am on Tuesday, May 15th and <strong>7:48am EDT Thursday morning (May 17th).</strong></b>\r\n\r\n<i>Note</i> however, that there is a brief <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a><b> on Tuesday afternoon; it starts at 4:30pm and ends at 4:43pm EDT. </b><i>Don’t</i> set your intentions during those 13 minutes — instead, allow intuition to surface possible intentions while you wait.

I will be posting reminders on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday morning to let you know that it\'s the best time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nWhen setting intentions, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> What might shift if I focused 5% more on the beauty that already surrounds me?<i> </i>What might open up if I truly valued curiosity and open-mindedness? What if I learned to listen right past my conditioning and opinions? What if I took my time to respond? What might my heart want me to say? <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Again, feel free to also watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/IvgN28_yRKc\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 22-27 degrees of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>?

How could you move that to the next level? <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nDuring these times, when Mars travels through Aquarius, we enjoy surprising ourselves and others. The tried-and-true methods of getting things done are far too boring for us right now. We are looking for unique and original goals, and we tend to have a rather original, forward-thinking view of the world now. \"<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Progress\" is one of our favorite words! What if you suddenly said to yourself: \"How could I surprise the \"old me\" today?\", when you were least expecting it?</span> ;-)\r\n\r\nMental and intellectual pursuits are important to us now. The Aquarian ideal of equality is strong with this position, so we also place a lot of value in freedom and individuality -- our own <i>and</i> that of others. With Mars in this fixed sign, we will definitely need our independence, especially in personal relationships -- and we are not easily pushed around. It\'s best to give ourselves and others lots of space; if we feel boxed in, we may rebel or act contrary.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nIn general, we may feel a desire to push our agenda on others -- not in an aggressive way, though... more in a creative manner. As best as you can, bring a sense of openness to your approach to people and situations. Be aware of feeling superior to others: if you find yourself thinking that someone is less \"special\" than you, put your hand over your heart and ask \"what would my heart say to this?\"\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more detached, forward-thinking and freedom-loving. You may want to change things in your life that have outlived their use. If you are an </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 12.5 weeks.

It is a wonderful tool to use for releasing fears, \"old\" belief patterns, suppressed feelings... really, any energy blockages that keep us from being where we want to be. For myself -- and also speaking from my experience with my clients -- is a really great tool to understand ourselves better and to align ourselves with our highest potential, and with the energies as they are moment to moment; allowing life to be in alignment with our growth process. The Coaching; is a supportive tool in releasing the \"old\" programming and conditioning, that our day-to-day mind is attached to; therefore we connect to who we truly are and who we choose to be moment to moment. This creates more happiness and a greater ability for growth and evolution -- from a loving place, not a fearful one.

Connect the intentions to the energy of the sign that is connected to the New Moon; so if the New Moon is in Capricorn, align you intentions with the Capricorn energy (long-term goals, career, commitments, responsibilities, authority-figures, inner authority, etc.). The best time to set intentions is the first 48 hours after the New Moon has become exact; and it is always best to avoid any Moon void of course (VoC) phases. Please check my weekly forecasts for exact times on Moon VoC phases. If a New Moon is also a Solar Eclipse, you want to wait 48 hours after the Eclipse has become exact, before setting your Intentions -- however, as with a regular New Moon, you still want to avoid any Moon VoC phases.&lt;/p&gt; [/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=\"Q.

It is a wonderful tool to use for releasing fears, \"old\" belief patterns, suppressed feelings... really, any energy blockages that keep us from being where we want to be. For myself -- and also speaking from my experience with my clients -- is a really great tool to understand ourselves better and to align ourselves with our highest potential, and with the energies as they are moment to moment; allowing life to be in alignment with our growth process. The Coaching; is a supportive tool in releasing the \"old\" programming and conditioning, that our day-to-day mind is attached to; therefore we connect to who we truly are and who we choose to be moment to moment. This creates more happiness and a greater ability for growth and evolution -- from a loving place, not a fearful one.

It is a wonderful tool to use for releasing fears, \"old\" belief patterns, suppressed feelings... really, any energy blockages that keep us from being where we want to be. For myself -- and also speaking from my experience with my clients -- is a really great tool to understand ourselves better and to align ourselves with our highest potential, and with the energies as they are moment to moment; allowing life to be in alignment with our growth process. The Coaching; is a supportive tool in releasing the \"old\" programming and conditioning, that our day-to-day mind is attached to; therefore we connect to who we truly are and who we choose to be moment to moment. This creates more happiness and a greater ability for growth and evolution -- from a loving place, not a fearful one.

The best time to set intentions is the first 48 hours after the New Moon has become exact; and it is always best to avoid any Moon void of course (VoC) phases. Please check my weekly forecasts for exact times on Moon VoC phases.

I kept reminding myself of all the things I usually say to my clients: be kind to yourself, etc. :-)\r\n\r\n<b>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement: </b>\r\n\r\nFeel free to <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/eclipses-jan-feb-2018-13-min-excerpt/\">check out my 13-minute excerpt</a> from our last Forecasting Forum about the Eclipses.\r\n\r\nAnd if you want to know how these powerful Lunations <span style=\"color: #666699;\">will</span> impact you personally, feel free to buy the whole 90+ min. webinar on the subject --  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">: </span> we talked about what to expect for the next 3 weeks, and how it all applies to our own birth charts ;-) ***Only available until Feb. 25th!***\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: Eclipse season continues all week; in other news, the last Quarter Moon in Scorpio becomes exact on Wednesday late morning, while Venus changes signs from Aquarius to Pisces on Saturday early evening.\r\n\r\nThere will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Monday afternoon (for a little over 9 hours), Thursday very early morning (for a little over 6.5 hours), and Saturday late morning (for almost 10 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (February 5th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in relationship-oriented</i><b><i>, </i></b><i>harmony-seeking </i><b><i>Libra </i>until 10:56pm EST. </b>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.<!--more-->\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time; we are therefore open to compromise and negotiation. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able to see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t actually make a decision. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 1:46pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 9 hours, <strong>until 10:56pm EST.</strong> Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 10:56pm EST</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey <b>until Thursday morning. </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (February 6th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b><strong>(see Monday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday evening,</strong> <em>an opportune Venus/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 8:37pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday morning on; it will remain strong until Thursday morning.</strong><b> </b>This gives us the opportunity to experiment with how we relate to others -- to do something different or unusual -- freedom plays a big part in this aspect.\r\n\r\nOf course, others are experimenting too, so you might experience some unusual or unexpected interactions during this time -- it\'s a favorable time for social meetings and events. As best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through your relationships.\r\n\r\nWe\'re also ready to experiment with our financial undertakings -- good places to look: all things \"tech\" (electronics, technology, internet); metaphysics; the arts; group activities. This is not the best time to make long-term financial investments not suggested in an intuitive flash ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, Uranus rules Aquarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (February 7th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b><strong>(see Monday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late morning, at 10:54am EST,</strong> the <em>last Quarter Moon in almost 19 degrees of <strong>Scorpio</strong></em> <em>makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in<strong> Aquarius.</strong></em> <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Scorpio on Monday late evening.</strong> <i>The Moon in deep-feeling </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> is making a challenging aspect to the Sun in emotionally detached </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>.</i> This may bring up some challenges. However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to the upcoming Solar Eclipse, a powerful New Moon in <b>Aquarius (on Feb.15th).</b> During the last Quarter Moon, we are better served by reviewing those projects we began around the last New Moon -- in this case, that would be Jan. 16th -- as opposed to launching new ones.\r\n\r\nSince this is also the last Moon phase before the Solar Eclipse becomes exact, it also ends an Eclipse cycle; journeys begun around the time of the last Eclipse (Aug. 21st), especially those connected to finding our inner joy and a healthy self-expression of our talents, are now coming to completion.\r\n\r\nGiven that, what projects call for completion, so they can become milestones on your journey to happiness? Where have you learned to focus more on your heart\'s desire? What if you brought love and laughter to that? What have you discovered since August 2017?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find kind and creative solutions for whatever comes up, whether internally or with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-21 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Aquarius, Leo</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s last Quarter Moon.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (February 8th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><strong>until 8:53am EST (see Monday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday very early morning, at 2:16am EST,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 6.5 hours, <strong>until 8:53am EST.</strong> Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments in your life. As best as you can, find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations. Make space either for connections with like-minded people, for involvement in a cause, or for the creation of deeper emotional bonds.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday morning ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 8:53am EST</strong>,<em> </em><i>the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><b>, </b>where it will journey<i> <strong>until Saturday evening</strong></i><b>. </b>We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (February 9th): <b> </b></strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b></strong><strong> (see Thursday morning for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning, </strong>we may need to make some adjustments. As best you can, honor both your need for adventure and exploration of life <i>and</i> your need to go within. You may feel a pull between introvert and extrovert, or simply fast and slow. Tune in for a moment and see if you need to take a break or at least slow down a little. As best as you can, be compassionate and kind with yourself.\r\n\r\nOn <strong>Friday afternoon,</strong> we have the opportunity to connect and collaborate with like-minded people, have an adventure, or simply do something that gets us excited about the future.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (February 10th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><i>Sagittarius</i> until 9:21pm EST (see Thursday morning for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 11:38am EST,</strong> we enter an approximately 10-hour <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>; it lasts until<strong> 9:21pm EST</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self — explore, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 6:20pm EST,</strong> <i>Venus changes signs from freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> to creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, where she will journey <strong>until March 6th</strong>.  <strong>For the next four weeks</strong>, we have a chance to connect with other people from our compassionate heart. We may also idealize our relationships a little — we’re feeling quite romantic, and hopeful that our dreams will be fulfilled.\r\n\r\nWith Venus in Pisces, our love is very accepting -- it comes as close to \"unconditional\" as humans can get. One way this shows up: We root for the underdog. We prefer feeling things out, to planning.\r\n\r\nAs you can imagine, we may spend our money on things that don’t make “sense” -- but if we heed intuition and allow for money to flow freely, we may discover that the Universe is always taking care of us ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? If so, beauty and love will enhance your life for the next three-and-a-half weeks. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? You may feel a strong need for romance or unconditional love -- or dream of the ideal relationship. Your finances and values may undergo the spiritual process of releasing control and trusting more to intuition and the flow of life.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday evening</strong>, <em>a challenging Sun/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 6:21pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday evening (Feb. 13th).</strong> This aspect says “stretch and grow!”. There is a feeling of enthusiasm and excitement in the air; it almost seems as if we could move mountains.\r\n\r\nAwareness is key: Be alert for undue optimism, that could lead to overextending or over-promising: As best as you can, stay connected to what\'s real — avoid exaggerations, especially when it comes to your \"feeling body\".\r\n\r\nThis is a time for collaboration and for coming together — provided we don\'t let ourselves get too overwhelmed by those historically-based emotional demons. As best as you can, take it one moment at a time, staying grounded in your vision for life.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-25 degrees of</i><b><i> Aquarius, Scorpio, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 9:21 pm EST,</strong> <i>t</i><i>he Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until next week Tuesday late morning (Feb. 13th)</strong><b>. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (February 11th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><strong>all day (see Saturday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning:</strong> we experience a sense of maturity, and of commitment towards ourselves and our long-term goals; for long-term success, focus on long-term projects that require a realistic approach or a solid commitment.\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (Feb. 12th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><strong>all day (see Saturday late evening for details).</strong> <em>Moon in <strong>Capricorn</strong> sextiles Neptune in <strong>Pisces</strong> at 12:08am EST.

I did my best to live from a place of  \"all is well\" and \"there is no-one to blame\"; this served all my interactions -- especially the ones with myself ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement: </strong>\r\n\r\nLast chance to sign up for my MONTHLY FORECASTING FORUM, this on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at </b>11am PST/<b>2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time).<b> Please note that we have a Lunar Eclipse in Leo this week, and a Solar Eclipse in Aquarius coming up in mid February!</b>\r\n\r\nIf you want to align yourself with these powerful, evolutionary Lunations and further your Soul\'s journey, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation.\r\n\r\nOther than <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/readings/\">booking a reading</a> with me, this is the highest level of support you can get -- and it\'s <strong>still only $24</strong> for the 90+ minute webinar. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\"><b>To register now, click here </b></a>\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: On Wednesday morning, a powerful Full-Super-Blue-Moon/Lunar Eclipse becomes exact on Wednesday morning and Mercury changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius.\r\n\r\nThere will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Tuesday late morning (for a little over 2 hours), Thursday early morning (for a little over 8 hours), and Friday night/Saturday very early morning (for a little over 14.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (January 29th):</strong><em> the Moon remains in <i>protective, nurturing </i><strong>Cancer </strong></em><strong>all day.</strong> It will journey there <b>until Tuesday late evening</b>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)<!--more-->\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, otherwise you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<b><strong>Monday late</strong> morning</b>, we are in a state of “flow” and emotional connection to others; spiritual and creative endeavors are favored. <i></i>\r\n\r\n<b><strong>Monday early afternoon </strong></b>requires some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice, one that demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to connect to like-minded people that share our vision — and on the other hand, the need to nurture ourselves and stay in touch with our feeling body.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late evening</strong>, we may take an all-or-northing attitude toward others; this could drive some tension or oppositional behaviors... As best you can, remain flexible and practice self-care — take good care of your emotional and physical body -- that way, you\'ll remain able to empower yourself and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (January 30th): </strong><em>the Moon remains in <i>protective, nurturing </i><strong>Cancer</strong></em><strong><em> </em>until 1:53pm EST (</strong>see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 11:40am EST, </strong>we enter a <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 2 hours, <strong>until 1:53pm EST.</strong> </span>Use this intuitive time to find balance between nurturing and self-care, versus achieving your goals. As always during VoC, take it easy -- go with the flow and avoid starting anything brand-new.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan late morning and early afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 1:53pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Thursday afternoon</strong><b>. </b>We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the Lunar Eclipse</i> -- a very powerful Full Moon (exact on Wednesday morning).\r\n\r\nWe all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-) So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can.\r\n\r\nFun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (January 31st): </strong><i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><strong>all day </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday morning, at 8:27am EST: </b><i>the Moon opposes the Sun</i> <i>in 11.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo</i></b> -- <em>a very powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse</em> becomes exact. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered <em>Leo</em> Tuesday at 1:53pm EST. </strong>\r\n\r\nOnce every six months, the Sun, Moon, and Earth finally align precisely enough for a Solar or Lunar Eclipse to occur; Eclipses are always powerfully connected to the Moon Nodes and thus to our Soul\'s Journey. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/powerful-full-supermoon-lunar-eclipse-in-leo-jan-feb-2018/\">If you’d like to learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video</a>.\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon is <i>the first of two Eclipses within the next four weeks and it\'s extra-powerful -- firstly</i><i>, because it\'s</i> a <i>SuperMoon -- </i>these occur when the Moon is either Full or New, while at its closest distance to the Earth; they are therefore more powerful. This often means an increase in emotional reactions, plus greater awareness around the issues connected to the particular Full Moon energy in question.\r\n\r\nSecondly, as the second Full Moon of this calendar month, it is also a \"<i>Blue Moon\" -- so </i>I think we can go ahead and call it a SuperBlue Moon :-)\r\n\r\nGiven that our SuperBlue Full Moon is happening in the <b>Leo</b>/<b>Aquarius</b> polarity, there\'s extra emphasis on increasing awareness of our mind\'s activities, and on opening our heart chakras. As we do this, we can open more to joy, and be more playful.\r\n\r\nLunar Eclipses generally direct our attention to our \"emotional body” and our relationships; they also connect us more fully to our Soul’s journey (as shown by the Moon Nodes). This particular Eclipse focuses on the relationship between the individual (<b>Leo</b>) and the collective (<b>Aquarius</b>).\r\n\r\nWe become aware of what has been suppressed or ignored -- or, this being a North Node Eclipse, what needs to be embraced, integrated and explored -- in regards to the <b>Leo</b> energy.\r\n\r\nIt\'s been 19 years since we experienced a Lunar Eclipse in this degree... Think back to Jan. 31st, 1999: What did I need to open my heart to back then? What became more clear at that time, in regards to exploring joy? Was I able to get in touch with my inner child?\r\n\r\nThis is the third Lunar Eclipse in a 23-month cycle of Eclipses, all connected to the <b>Leo/Aquarius</b> polarity; the cycle in question began in February 2017 with a Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b> and will last until Jan. 2019, ending with yet another Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b>.\r\n\r\nThink back to February of last year: What started shifting for me, in my attitudes towards the collective (or \"humanity\")? How about like-minded people? Was there likewise a shift in my desire for more joy? Self-expression? Heartfelt actions? If I think back to the last Solar Eclipse in Leo from August 21st, 2017, what has brought the possibility for more joy into my life?\r\n\r\nLife-changing revelations are more likely over the next two weeks — and with them, shifts in our consciousness — and the impact of an Eclipse\'s energy also lasts longer than a regular Lunation (anywhere from 6 months to 2 years!)\r\n\r\nI will talk about the upcoming Eclipses in more detail in my next Forecasting Forum — if you want to know how the Eclipses are going to impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up, to our own birth charts. The Forum will be live on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time); <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">for more info or to register, click here</a>\r\n\r\nThis particular Eclipse focuses on authentic self-expression and creativity. Ask yourself: What might open up if I expressed myself with my heart as my center? With more courage? If I were too much in my head, what would tip me off to that? What might my world look like, if I allowed my light to shine just a little brighter?\r\n\r\nWe are also invited to allow head and heart to merge, bringing about a brighter future for humankind -- what would it look like if I allowed that merger? What if I chose, right here and now, to contribute to humanity from a courageous, heart-centered and authentic place? What if I simply chose that, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>Leo</b> represents our individual expression, the kind of light we came to shine, joy we came to spread. <b>Leo</b> is the sign of individual creativity; <b>Aquarius</b> represents the power of collaboration, where the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts. <b>Aquarius</b>, connects us to the complex patterns formed by many coming together<i>.</i>\r\n\r\nThis means it\'s important to be especially aware and responsible when connecting with others. As best as you can, get present and ask yourself: What am I bringing forth? What are my intentions? What is in my heart that longs to be expressed? Do I have the courage to stand in my authentic self-expression?\r\n\r\nIf we want to see a greater shift in the world at large (an Aquarian concern), we must each do our own part and express our unique gifts (Leo’s imperative). That said, if we don\'t come from the heart -- or if we get stuck over-thinking things and/or being overly concerned with what other people are thinking -- we will not be able to fulfill on that vision.\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> makes a Quincunx to Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>. </i>This might bring some internal discomfort; we need to make inner adjustments here. It nudges us to tune into our intuition, and create from a place of love rather than fear.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What if it were possible to get really in tune with my intuitive feeling body <i>and</i> express myself fully, with courage and without compromise? Might an introverted approach like that serve my extroverted, unique expression of Self? How can I transform lower vibrational feelings? For example, how might I transform fear into love? What approach might support such a transformation?\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun (ruler of Leo) in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> conjoins the South Node and Venus in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>. </i>This reminds us that each one of us has an electromagnetic field, and are an integral part of a much larger field, where our thoughts, growth, and actions interweave and affect the course of humanity. Together, we are exponentially more powerful.\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) is currently in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>. It\'s making a Square to Pluto and Mercury in </i><b><i>Capricorn.</i></b><i> </i>We are invited to be more honest with ourselves and others (especially about our fears and desires), and to pay attention to our thinking patterns, especially in regards to achieving things out there in the world.\r\n\r\nIn fact, you could say we are being invited to bring an innovative approach to who we are \"out there in the world\" -- and to our interactions with others… In other words: To step it up -- and walk our unique path. To inspire others. Life is too short to waste on things we are less than fully passionate about, that don\'t fully express our uniqueness.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What is being radically transformed in my life? Where am I being invited to confront outdated thought-forms? What\'s the relationship between my inner teenager and my inner adult?\r\n\r\nPluto represents the courage it takes to face our shadows and fears -- and if we can do that, we can discover our true motivations, desires -- and our true power. What do I get obsessed about? What scares me the most, when it comes to fully committing to things I feel passionate about?\r\n\r\nTake a look back at situations that felt disempowering -- and at situations that evoked some sort of helpless fury. When in the past have I given my power away to others, especially authority figures? Was it really about me? What did I choose in that moment?\r\n\r\n<i>Saturn (the traditional ruler of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>) currently in its own sign. </i>Here is a quote that fits really beautifully with this energy: <i>\"The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift of life is yours—it’s an amazing journey, and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. Your journey is determined by the choices you make. Your answers are determined by the questions you ask. Your destination is determined by the steps you take. Your future is determined by what you do today.\"</i> -- Dan Zadra\r\n\r\nWe are also encouraged during this Full Moon to acknowledge that we are all in this together, and that each one of us has the ability to effect change by tapping into our courage, and living our vision in every moment -- and this takes dropping into our hearts more fully.\r\n\r\nFor this <i>Full SuperBlue Moon/Lunar Eclipse</i> you could ask yourself these questions too: How might I learn about self-love? What if I chose to love the world as if it was a reflection of my heart and soul? What if I did that while expressing my unique soul-self, my unique spirit? Where do the inner and the outer experiences of love and connectedness meet?\r\n\r\nFlexibility, thinking outside the box, and self-care are critical during Eclipse season! Self-care is particularly important in times of stress and/or change — basic things, like making sure that we eat healthily and regularly, drink plenty of water, exercise, get plentiful rest -- and allow affection in from friends, family, or pets. Connecting to what feels supportive in order to stay grounded and regenerate ourselves can be very helpful as well.\r\n\r\nThere are so many more aspects we could talk about with this Lunar Eclipse chart, I\'d need an hour-and-a-half to cover it all — and that\'s just what I\'ll be doing during the 90-minute Monthly Forecasting Forum on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time)<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">click here to register</a> :-)\r\n\r\nThis <i>Lunar Eclipse</i> shows us that there is always work to be done -- and there\'s no need to get overwhelmed by that, because we all have the power to do it. All we have to do is look into our own heart and see the strength and love lying there. Ask yourself: Where could I be the voice? Where could I be or become the visionary? What if I accepted that I am the hero/heroine of my story? What is my role at this pivotal time?\r\n\r\nRemember: No effort is too small, no step too modest... And most important of all, perhaps: it\'s never too late to be the one who makes a difference -- especially when it comes from the heart and feels authentic!\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, trust that you have what it takes to make a difference for yourself and others. <i>And </i><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/powerful-full-supermoon-lunar-eclipse-in-leo-jan-feb-2018/\">if you’d like to learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video</a>.\r\n\r\nA final note about Eclipses: they\'re consciousness upgrades, so for 7 - 10 days before and after one, we are usually in uncharted territory -- anything is possible and it\'s wise to expect the unexpected. Anything <i>brand-new</i> started during this time will likely not pan out the way we thought it would, often because important information comes to light only after Eclipse season is over.\r\n\r\nFor that reason, try to defer any major brand-new projects until after Feb. 25th, when this particular Eclipse season ends. That said, if something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic, allow it to “be”... Just be wary of the urge to push something forward merely to relieve anxiety or impatience.\r\n\r\nAllow for the upgrade to download, staying centered and doing your best to \"ground\" from within -- try using conscious breathing, and regard flexibility as a tool. Best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body…\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point or personal planets in 6-17 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo, Aquarius, Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s Full Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 8:39am EST,</strong><strong> </strong><i>Mercury </i><i>leaves practical, cautious, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><i>and moves into</i> <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking, objective </i><b><i>Aquarius.</i></b><b><i> </i></b>It will journey there <b>until February 17th.<i> </i></b>For the next three weeks, we tend to contradict others more quickly, and offer a different perspective. We enjoy intellectual debates. We are quicker and more alert; our powers of observation are particularly strong.\r\n\r\nWe have something interesting to say, and our perspective on issues can be delightfully unusual and surprisingly insightful. This makes for some great conversations. We are more attracted to scientific and/or metaphysical pursuits right now. Anything that promises progress and advancement for mankind has special appeal.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel a greater need for focusing on your future and any humanitarian causes. Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will most likely feel more chatty for the next 3 weeks. </i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (February 1st): </strong><i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving</i><strong><em> Leo</em></strong><em> </em><strong>until 2:13pm EST </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 5:59am EST, </strong>we enter a <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 8 hours, <strong>until 2:13pm EST. </strong></span>During this intuitive time, have fun connecting with others and doing things that bring you joy — explore something different, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday morning until early afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 2:13pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into detail-oriented, practical</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <strong>until Saturday late afternoon</strong>; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<b> </b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (Feb. 2nd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong><i> </i><b>all day</b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Thursday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning, </strong>we<strong> </strong>seek a balance between head and heart, facts and faith, reason and intuition. That said, if you can achieve that balance, it’s a great day for being of service.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday early afternoon</strong> calls for some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice. Making this choice demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to engage in humanitarian causes — and on the other hand, the need to  tend to our daily routines.\r\n\r\n<b>Friday late evening</b>, we can potentially accomplish quite a bit: The Moon in <b>Virgo</b> makes a harmonious aspect to Pluto in <b>Capricorn</b>. Virgo and Capricorn are Earth signs, so getting down to business and focusing on the task at hand takes less effort than normal. We are able to tackle anything that requires attention to detail and maybe even implement health routines or other systems that support our long-term goals.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (February 3rd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><em> </em><strong>until 4:47pm EST </strong>(see Thursday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 2:07am EST, </strong>we enter a <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 14.5 hours, <strong>until 4:47pm EST. </strong></span>Use this intuitive time to get organized, improve daily routines, and to develop more awareness of how that all fits in with expanding intimate connections with others.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday very early morning until the late afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday late morning, </strong><em>an opportune Mercury/Mars aspect </em>becomes exact at 10:57am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Friday morning on; it will remain strong until Sunday evening. </strong>This aspect provides an opportunity to connect thought to action. Body and mind can align; words and deeds connect with ease. As with any opportunity, we have to \"take\" this one: it will not happen by itself.\r\n\r\nWhat actions are calling to you today? How might those actions be connected to other like-minded people... or a vision you have for humanity\'s future?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <em>3-7 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 4:47pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>, where it will journey<b> <strong>until Monday late afternoon.</strong> </b>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (February 4th): </strong><em>t</em><em>he Moon remains in </em><em><i>relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking</i></em><strong><em><i> </i>Libra</em></strong><em> </em><strong>all day </strong>(see Saturday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning, </strong><em>a challenging Venus/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 1:07am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Thursday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (Feb 6th). </strong>This aspect asks that we question our most fundamental beliefs and conditioning around the visions we value (and the people that share those visions) and how we view our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\nWe have the opportunity here to grow beyond our understanding of what our values get us. Issues connected to love, relationships, and whatever is most valuable to us, can seem overwhelming at this time. This is because we have a tendency to overindulge or over-promise.\r\n\r\nWe mean well, because we are feeling quite optimistic at this time -- but we may underestimate how much time we actually have, or how good a fit something actually is. Overspending could be connected to this aspect as well (as could making assumptions in our relationships); as best as you can, bring a non-judgmental awareness to any such tendencies.\r\n\r\nWhat are you observing about yourself and your relationships with others? What is enough... and what is too much?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>18-25 degrees</em></i><i> of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (Feb. 5th): </strong><em>t</em><em>h</em><em>e </em><em>Moon remains in </em><em><i>relationship-oriented</i></em><strong><em><i>, </i></em></strong><em><i>harmony-seeking</i></em><em> <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong><em> </em>until 10:56pm EST (see Saturday late afternoon for details). At 1:46pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 9 hours, <strong>until 10:56pm EST</strong>.  You may want to plan Monday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>At</strong> <strong>10:56pm EST</strong>, the Moon moves into <strong>Scorpio</strong>, where it will journey <strong>until next week Thursday morning </strong>(Feb. 8th). This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the last Quarter Moon (which, will be exact next week Wednesday -- Feb. 7th). More about all the details in next week’s forecast ;-)<b> </b>\r\n<h3><b>One Last Announcement:</b></h3>\r\nJoin me for my next FORECASTING FORUM, <b>Saturday</b>, <b>Feb</b>.<b> 3rd, 2018 at </b>11am<b> </b>PST/<b> 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time).<b> Please note </b>that we will be talking about the upcoming<b> Eclipses: Lunar Eclipse/SuperMoon in Leo </b>and<b> Solar Eclipse in Aquarius.</b>\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how to align yourself with these potent energies coming our way, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\"><b>To register now, click here</b></a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Here is a testimonial from one of our participants right after joining our most recent Forum:</strong>\r\n<blockquote><i>\"Sonja\'s Forecasting Forums make Astrology accessible for anyone.

It felt like quite a \"Chiron-ish\" week, if there is such a thing ;-) Another Chiron-related theme for the week was my bringing greater awareness to my emotional triggers and how I deal with them. I\'m happy to say that I got lots of amazing support with all of this -- thank you, to all the angels in my life :-)\r\n<h3>Before we get to this week\'s forecast:</h3>\r\nI would like to share with you some important announcements for 2018. The first announcement is about my new Astrology Online Community that I am in the process of creating, the second announcement it about the Forecasting Forum in January 2018: a look ahead at the whole Year! <a href=\"https://youtu.be/AAUG4EKXSzc\">Click here to watch a brief video for more details</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>This week\'s headline items:</strong> the New Moon in Sagittarius becomes exact on Monday, very early in the morning -- and the Chiron Station ends that day as well. Mercury begins its station-phase on Tuesday, and comes to a halt on Friday evening -- ending its 3-week retrograde phase. Saturn changes signs from Sagittarius to Capricorn, Tuesday late evening and Uranus begins its station-phase on Wednesday -- slowing down and preparing to change direction. The Sun changes signs from Sagittarius to Capricorn on Thursday, late in the morning, marking the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere.\r\n\r\n<strong>There will only be four <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week:</strong> Monday morning (for 23 minutes), Wednesday late morning (for a little over 10.5 hours), Saturday early morning (for almost 4.5 hours), and Sunday late evening (for a little over 21.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (December 18th):</strong> the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius until 8:33am EST.\r\n\r\nSunday night/Monday very early morning, at 1:30am EST, the New Moon in 26.5 degrees of Sagittarius becomes exact. With the New Moon in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius, we seek to expand our day-to-day knowledge and look for the larger truth. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/new-moon-in-sagittarius-dec-2017-perception-and-perspective/\">Also feel free to watch my New Moon video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What might I see if I zoomed out for the wider view? Does my life as it is now reflect my philosophy -- and vice versa?\r\n\r\nThe New Moon closely aligns with Saturn and Venus in Sagittarius, and Mercury is still retrograde in Sagittarius as well. This spurs us to question our assumptions. Ask yourself: What fundamental assumptions do I make about others? About life itself? Love? My relationships? What does my direct experience show me?\r\n\r\nTake a look at your conditioning and programming too: What messages did I receive from my parents, teachers, religion, and culture? How does my actual experience differ from what I was taught? Where do I still follow old programming, rather than listening to the wisdom of my heart and soul?\r\n\r\nSaturn is in its last degree of Sagittarius and is therefore exalted at the time of the New Moon; it will move into Capricorn until 2020, a little less than two days after this New Moon becomes exact!\r\n\r\nThis heightens the universal request for us to take responsibility for our own perceptions and attitudes towards life -- to take a good look at our horizons and think again -- but this time, with maturity and realism. It directs us to discard outdated beliefs and determine our own indicators for progress, truth, and fulfillment.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What do I see from where I stand? What is my understanding about life? How has my perception of myself and my life changed in the last three years?\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how Saturn\'s journey in Capricorn will impact you personally in the next three years, feel free <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/saturn-in-capricorn-until-2020/\">to purchase my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, click here</a> or for a quick preview <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/saturn/5067/\">check out this 30-minute excerpt</a> of the webinar\r\n\r\nThe Sun and Moon in Sagittarius also trine Uranus in Aries and square Chiron in Pisces.\r\n\r\nThe Trine to Uranus connects excitement to our vision for the future and our willingness to try something new and break away from \"old\" outdated ways of doing things. You could ask yourself: What if I took 5% more responsibility for my own reality? It ways could this be the key to creating a better future?\r\n\r\nThe Square to Chiron, aka the \"Wounded Healer\", is asking us to take a closer look at any old wounds and memories of shame or separation. If we get triggered, we can look to see where in the past the trigger originated; then, as best as we can, bring compassion and understanding to that wounded, shamed, or abandoned part of ourselves.\r\n\r\nAs humans, we experience pain, shame, and separation, but can heal through the unconditional love and self-acceptance of the spirit-human alliance. Ask yourself: What might be possible if I was willing to just \"be with\" my insecurities and past wounding, without needing to fix them? What if my attempts to fix them was what was actually keeping me from seeing the divine perfection of it all?\r\n\r\nRather than looking to be saved, we are learning to ultimately embody our own divinity — to realize that we are all divine beings, and to live accordingly, knowing that everyone and everything is connected.\r\n\r\nFor those of you who want to have a better understanding of your personal healing journey, feel free to get the recording of my Chiron-workshop: \"Healing with Astrology\", available for FREE when joining my online community: <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\">Click here for more info</a>\r\n\r\nAs the ruler of Sagittarius, Jupiter features strongly in this New Moon chart; the planet is currently in Scorpio, making a trine to Neptune in Pisces and squaring the Moon Nodes.\r\n\r\nJupiter\'s Trine to Neptune supports the opening of our heart and mind to spiritual realities beyond the borders of our previous understandings. Neptune represents unconditional love -- this is not based on personality or preference, but on the remembrance that we are all one with the Cosmos, eternally exploring and evolving.\r\n\r\nNeptune in Pisces asks us to have faith in the infinite support we receive every day from the universe — whether our mind understands it or not (what we understand with the mind is very different from what we comprehend with the heart).\r\n\r\nSeeing through the illusion of separation from the divine is perhaps the greatest perspective shift of all. What might be possible if we allowed ourselves to glance past our filters and glimpse the truth of who we are?\r\n\r\nJupiter in Scorpio also squares the Moon Nodes in Leo/Aquarius, asking us to share our deepest secrets, in order to help transform past traumas. We are being asked to take a 90-degree turn, to gain a new perspective, to explore different avenues, leading to different outcomes, especially in regards to our intimate relationships, our ability to connect on a deep emotional level, and in regards to sharing our resources with others.\r\n\r\nWe are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we want to focus on having more fun, joy and self-expression in our lives; on the other, we are asked to expand and learn about our inner experiences, our deeper issues — and to find a new perspective for who we are deep down, then communicate and share this, so we can shine consciousness and light on it.\r\n\r\nIn order to get to a place of greater joy on an individual level, one where we truly feel grateful for our lives, we need to first transform our perspective on old traumas and other deep issues from our past.\r\n\r\nIf this New Moon had a core message, it would be: Honor old patterns and struggles while releasing your attachments to them. As best as you can, provide yourself with compassion and understanding -- embrace your humanity in all its extraordinary capabilities and in its healing capacity. Ask yourself: Why am I here? Where am I going? What beliefs call out for reassessment? What do I believe -- and what do I simply “know”? Where do I need to take a leap of faith... or simply trust?\r\n\r\nBe open to shifting your perceptions. Where have I made assumptions? Which one of my \"filters\" could I do without for a while, just as an exercise in freedom?\r\n\r\nKeep looking at what needs to heal and keep taking responsibility for the \"deeper\" issues in your life. Where am I being challenged to \"be with what is\"? What does \"spiritual maturity\" mean to me?  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/new-moon-in-sagittarius-dec-2017-perception-and-perspective/\">Again, feel free to watch my New Moon video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 24-29 degrees of Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, Pisces? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</em>\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle. Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely not during a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the best time to set intentions would be any time between 1:30am until 8:10am EST Monday morning (Dec. 18th); and then again from 8:33am EST on Monday (Dec. 18th) until 1:30am EST Wednesday very early morning (Dec. 20th).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 8:10am EST,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for 23 minutes, until 8:33am EST. Use this intuitive time to focus on long-term projects that involve a truthful perspective or an adventure into the truth. As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 8:33am EST,</strong> the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Wednesday evening. We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it\'s still transiting through Sagittarius until Tuesday late evening, making this a great time to take a long, last look at our belief structures, explore limiting beliefs and bust through conditioned thought structures. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at the \"meaning of life\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, be authentic about your beliefs: Do they actually match your direct experience of life -- as it is for you now, rather than 5 or 10 years ago? What is true as of now? What is not?\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (Dec. 19th):</strong> the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn all day (see Monday morning for details). If you haven\'t set your New Moon Intentions yet, <strong>today (Tuesday all day)</strong> is still time to do so during the most potent time... If you\'d like some input on how to do that, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">check out this article</a> -- you could also <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/new-moon-in-sagittarius-dec-2017-perception-and-perspective/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(re-)watch my New Moon video</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 11:49pm EST,</strong> Saturn changes signs from adventurous, truth-seeking and enthusiastic Sagittarius to practical, accomplishment-oriented and responsible Capricorn, where it will journey until Dec., 2020 (except for the period between March and July of 2020, when it will temporarily move into Aquarius, giving us preview of what\'s to come beyond Capricorn).\r\n\r\nSaturn feels quite comfortable in Capricorn, as that planet \"rules\" this earth sign; you might say that Capricorn and Saturn have a lot in common and understand each other. Here are some key characteristics that apply to both:\r\n\r\nBuilding long-lasting structures, diligence, effort, persistence in the face of no immediate rewards (i.e. deferred gratification), resilience, achievement, ambition, being goal-oriented, planning ahead, self-discipline, a mature, realistic approach, patience, hard work, integrity, manifestation through consistent application, setting heathy boundaries, focusing on what\'s within our control, taking our time, slowing down, karma (you reap what you sow), working towards becoming an authority of some kind... You get the idea :-)\r\n\r\nSo, between now and Dec. 2020, we are invited to look for practical applications for our ambitions. We may well be firming up our long-term goals -- this transit is a time to focus on building a secure foundation in our professional lives.\r\n\r\nSaturn in Capricorn also reminds us that in order to build or bring forth our visions, we need to look at the practical implications -- we need to slow down and take our time, if we are to manifest something that can withstand the test of time -- something that is of value to society, not just to a few.\r\n\r\nHowever, before we can know exactly what path to take, we must know where we currently stand -- we have to be realistic about \"where we\'re at\" to know what steps to take.\r\n\r\nIt\'s a time when we are working hard, taking on our fair share of duties and responsibilities, and either reaping some of the rewards of our hard work or facing the consequences of poor choices. We are invited, individually and collectively, to apply our newly refined ethics and life perspectives in a healthy and productive way.\r\n\r\nThink back to the period between Nov. 1988 and Feb. 1991 -- the last time Saturn made this journey: What did you accomplish back then, in regards to long-term goals, or the building of healthy foundations in your life? What area of life got a lot of your attention and focus in those days? Where did you have to apply yourself and have patience?\r\n\r\nBy the way, if you were born during that time period, you will experience your first \"Saturn Return\" within the next three years... (and if you were born between January, 1959 and January, 1962, you\'re coming up on your second Saturn Return).\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how Saturn\'s journey in Capricorn will impact you personally in the next three years, feel free <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/saturn-in-capricorn-until-2020/\">to purchase my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, click here</a> or for a quick preview <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/saturn/5067/\">check out this 30-minute excerpt</a> of the webinar.\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Capricorn or Aquarius? If so, you will most likely feel a greater sense of responsibility, a need to be more realistic, serious and mature.</em>\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Tuesday,</strong> Mercury starts to slow down (station) in 13/14 degrees of Sagittarius, in preparation to come to a halt on Friday (Dec. 22nd) -- ending its 3-week retrograde phase. This station will last until Dec. 27th, and during this time, we will feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments once Mercury is moving direct again (to be more precise, during the shadow phase that follows -- for more details on Mercury Shadow Phases and Retrogrades, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">click here</a>)\r\n\r\nFor the next 8 days, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (if possible): wait until after Jan. 10th, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\nSome of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have Gemini or Virgo as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 13-14 degrees of Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo or Pisces.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (Dec. 20th)</strong>: the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn until 9:29pm EST (see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 10:37am EST,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 10.5 hours, until 9:29pm EST. You may be aware of two seemingly conflicting desires: On the one hand, a need for serious, diligent accomplishment -- and on the other, a desire to break free and rebel against obligations.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take some breaks, and \"let your freak flag fly\" -- just for a moment -- and revel in it! As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday (late morning until late evening) ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday mid-afternoon,</strong> a challenging Venus/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 2:10pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Sunday night on; it will remain strong until this Friday evening. This aspect asks us to stretch past injuries and insecurities in our relationships, self-worth and finances. If we can bring compassion and a different point of view to these issues, we will reach a new understanding of ourselves and our life journey.\r\n\r\nWe have the opportunity to learn from one another; ironically though, social insecurities can be magnified at this time. Whenever Chiron is involved, we are being asked to do some healing work. As best as you can, use this time to learn about your sore spots. Nobody is perfect: we all have our flaws and idiosyncrasies. It\'s ok.\r\n\r\nIf you get triggered by someone, as best as you can, take it as an opportunity to see where this trigger originated -- probably in your childhood. Bring love and compassion to yourself as you are, and as you were. Allow any feelings this may stir up in you. A feeling is just energy that wants to be experienced; it wants to move through us and out.\r\n\r\nThe more we resist our feelings, the more we keep them spinning in place. As best as you can, move from the head to the heart. What might change, if you had 5% more compassion with yourself and others? What if you just decided to have faith in the healing process?\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: 21-28 degrees of Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini or Virgo? If so, you are more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus or Libra (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday evening,</strong> a harmonious Venus/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 6:13pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Sunday night on; it will remain strong until this Friday evening. This aspect helps us to embrace all that is new and unusual in romance and finance. We are ready to experiment -- but not to commit. We have an offbeat, pleasant attitude and people are more willing to socialize.\r\n\r\nThis is an especially good time for financial undertakings involving any of the following: technology and the internet; metaphysics; the arts; group activities. We lose our fear of taking risks at this time, this could be a good couple of days for the stock market indexes…or at the very least, an unpredictable one :-)\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 21-28 degrees of Sagittarius, Aries or Leo? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Aquarius (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Uranus rules Aquarius)</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 9:29pm EST,</strong> the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius, where it will journey until Saturday late morning. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (Dec. 21st):</strong> the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius all day (see Wednesday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 11:28am EST,</strong> the Sun changes signs from optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius to practical, accomplishment-oriented, status-oriented Capricorn. This also marks the shortest day of the year (in the northern hemisphere) and the beginning of Winter -- aka the Winter Solstice.\r\n\r\nThe Solstices are important turning points that take place twice a year: They are energetic gateways for the summer or winter season to come through. Solstice Points are thus extra-potent times to set intentions and take part in ceremonies.\r\n\r\nThe Sun will journey through the sign of Capricorn until January 19th. Capricorn is a feet-on-the-ground, eyes-on-the-prize sign. As the Sun travels through it, we take a realistic, grounded approach to life; we know how to do things, and how to get things done.\r\n\r\nWe have a stronger sense of society and its structure, and feel most secure when doing our part within that structure; as such, worldly recognition may take on more importance for us. Making plans for the future can be very effective right now. We are more risk-averse at this time but we are ready to work hard and focus on what is essential.\r\n\r\n<em>All this is especially true if you are a Leo or Capricorn Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Capricorn, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo, you are more cautious and practical than usual…working towards a realistic long-term goal might be just the thing for you to do.</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday late afternoon,</strong> a Sun/Saturn alignment in 0 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 4:08pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from Monday on; it will remain strong until this Sunday. This alignment brings a more serious tone to our commitments with our long-term goals -- it\'s a time when we are called upon to \"get real\".\r\n\r\nThis is especially true for long-term projects that require diligence and self-discipline, but also applies to anything that requires consistency and a mature approach. We are motivated by the desire to manifest tangible results. We are able to focus and work hard right now, especially if we have a goal in mind, welcoming a sense of discipline, structure or order.\r\n\r\nRecommended at this time: making new commitments to old goals, taking care of our responsibilities, making careful use of anything that\'s within our control\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career point (or any personal planets) in the following: 27-29 degrees of Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, Pisces or 0-3 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries or Libra? If so, you may feel the effects of this alignment more strongly.</em>\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Thursday, </b><i>Uranus begins to slow down</i> -- it will come to a complete halt on Jan. 2nd, prior to starting its direct motion again after its 5-month retrograde phase. We will feel this <i>station</i> <b>until Jan. 14th; </b>until then, anything connected to Uranus\'s energy will come into our awareness quite strongly; we are faced with this planet’s message.\r\n\r\nUranus is all about breaking away from traditional structures, moving towards a new future, a future that serves others as well as ourselves. Keyword: Freedom. We might have flashes of insight or new ideas about what needs to change in our lives. Definitely expect the unexpected.\r\n\r\nUranus also rules electronics, technology and the internet, so don\'t be surprised if you experience some interruptions or short-term failures in these areas. Group activities are also ruled by Uranus, so these will also be more at the forefront of our awareness. As best as you can, stay open and flexible, go with the flow -- and pay attention to those messages from the Universe ;-)\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take a closer look at whatever is \"in your face\" <b>for the next 3.5 weeks.</b> Our intuitions will be very strong during this time and we have access to sudden insights and ideas. This gives us the opportunity to take a look to see how free we actually feel.\r\n\r\nAre we expressing our individuality to the fullest? Are we connecting to a larger vision? Is anything holding us back? What did you discover about visions and freedoms these past 5 months?\r\n\r\n<i>Is your Sun-sign or Ascendant in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>? Or do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 22-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this station.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (Dec. 22nd)</strong>: the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius all day (see Wednesday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 8:51pm EST,</strong> Mercury comes to a halt in 13 degrees of Sagittarius, and slowly starts its direct motion, after its 3-week retrograde phase. As best as you can, go with the flow, keep an open mind and pay attention to anything that is in your face right now -- you may need to address those issues again, when Mercury moves through its shadow phase…more on that later.\r\n\r\nWe are slowly ready to shift our focus back towards the outer world again, taking in new information and sharing from a new perspective. What did you learn about your inner dialog over the past 3 weeks? How might you share your findings in a healthy way with others? What needs to be addressed around your beliefs, perspectives, and attitudes towards life and other people?\r\n\r\nWhen Mercury gets back to its regular speed (by Dec. 27th), communication and transportation will get back to normal; the same is true of any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc.\r\n\r\nSome of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with Gemini or Virgo as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets (or angles) in 11-15 degrees of  Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, or Pisces.\r\n\r\nAs you may recall, I mentioned Mercury shadow phases in this update a few weeks back: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it\'s best to avoid the periods shortly before and after Mercury goes retrograde. This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) This particular shadow phase ends on Jan. 10th. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">Click here to read my blog on the subject</a>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (Dec. 23rd):</strong> the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius until 9:42am EST (see Wednesday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 5:13am EST,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 4.5 hours, until 9:42am EST. This is an intuitive time that presents an opportunity to connect to innovative ideas and unique world-views -- so if you can, connect with like-minded people and explore something new.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday morning ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 9:42am EST,</strong> the Moon moves into creative, sensitive Pisces, where it will journey until Monday evening. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (Dec. 24th):</strong> the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces all day (see Saturday late morning for details).\r\n\r\nSunday at 9:48pm EST, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 21.5 hours, until 7:27pm EST (Monday evening). Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect to your higher Self, and if possible, bring a sense of flow and faith to your long-term plans -- especially those you feel really passionate about.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday night and Monday Day ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (Dec. 25th):</strong> the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">VoC</a> until 7:27pm EST (see Saturday late morning for details). At 12:26am EST, Venus moves from Sagittarius into Capricorn where it will journey until January 18th 2018. In early afternoon, a Venus/Saturn alignment in 0.5 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 12:55pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Friday on; it will remain strong until this Thursday. At 7:27pm EST, the Moon moves into Aries, where it will journey until Thursday very early morning. More about all the details in next week’s forecast ;-)\r\n<h3>One Last Announcement:</h3>\r\nJoin me for my next FORECASTING FORUM, Wednesday, <strong>Jan. 3rd, 2018 at</strong> 1pm PST/ <strong>4pm EST</strong>/9pm GMT (London-time).

It felt like quite a \"Chiron-ish\" week, if there is such a thing ;-) Another Chiron-related theme for the week was my bringing greater awareness to my emotional triggers and how I deal with them. I\'m happy to say that I got lots of amazing support with all of this -- thank you, to all the angels in my life :-)\r\n<h3>Before we get to this week\'s forecast:</h3>\r\nI would like to share with you some important announcements for 2018. The first announcement is about my new Astrology Online Community that I am in the process of creating, the second announcement it about the Forecasting Forum in January 2018: a look ahead at the whole Year! <a href=\"https://youtu.be/AAUG4EKXSzc\">Click here to watch a brief video for more details</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>This week\'s headline items:</strong> the New Moon in Sagittarius becomes exact on Monday, very early in the morning -- and the Chiron Station ends that day as well. Mercury begins its station-phase on Tuesday, and comes to a halt on Friday evening -- ending its 3-week retrograde phase. Saturn changes signs from Sagittarius to Capricorn, Tuesday late evening and Uranus begins its station-phase on Wednesday -- slowing down and preparing to change direction. The Sun changes signs from Sagittarius to Capricorn on Thursday, late in the morning, marking the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere.\r\n\r\n<strong>There will only be four <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week:</strong> Monday morning (for 23 minutes), Wednesday late morning (for a little over 10.5 hours), Saturday early morning (for almost 4.5 hours), and Sunday late evening (for a little over 21.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (December 18th):</strong> the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius until 8:33am EST.\r\n\r\nSunday night/Monday very early morning, at 1:30am EST, the New Moon in 26.5 degrees of Sagittarius becomes exact. With the New Moon in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius, we seek to expand our day-to-day knowledge and look for the larger truth. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/new-moon-in-sagittarius-dec-2017-perception-and-perspective/\">Also feel free to watch my New Moon video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What might I see if I zoomed out for the wider view? Does my life as it is now reflect my philosophy -- and vice versa?\r\n\r\nThe New Moon closely aligns with Saturn and Venus in Sagittarius, and Mercury is still retrograde in Sagittarius as well. This spurs us to question our assumptions. Ask yourself: What fundamental assumptions do I make about others? About life itself? Love? My relationships? What does my direct experience show me?\r\n\r\nTake a look at your conditioning and programming too: What messages did I receive from my parents, teachers, religion, and culture? How does my actual experience differ from what I was taught? Where do I still follow old programming, rather than listening to the wisdom of my heart and soul?\r\n\r\nSaturn is in its last degree of Sagittarius and is therefore exalted at the time of the New Moon; it will move into Capricorn until 2020, a little less than two days after this New Moon becomes exact!\r\n\r\nThis heightens the universal request for us to take responsibility for our own perceptions and attitudes towards life -- to take a good look at our horizons and think again -- but this time, with maturity and realism. It directs us to discard outdated beliefs and determine our own indicators for progress, truth, and fulfillment.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What do I see from where I stand? What is my understanding about life? How has my perception of myself and my life changed in the last three years?\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how Saturn\'s journey in Capricorn will impact you personally in the next three years, feel free <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/saturn-in-capricorn-until-2020/\">to purchase my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, click here</a> or for a quick preview <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/saturn/5067/\">check out this 30-minute excerpt</a> of the webinar\r\n\r\nThe Sun and Moon in Sagittarius also trine Uranus in Aries and square Chiron in Pisces.\r\n\r\nThe Trine to Uranus connects excitement to our vision for the future and our willingness to try something new and break away from \"old\" outdated ways of doing things. You could ask yourself: What if I took 5% more responsibility for my own reality? It ways could this be the key to creating a better future?\r\n\r\nThe Square to Chiron, aka the \"Wounded Healer\", is asking us to take a closer look at any old wounds and memories of shame or separation. If we get triggered, we can look to see where in the past the trigger originated; then, as best as we can, bring compassion and understanding to that wounded, shamed, or abandoned part of ourselves.\r\n\r\nAs humans, we experience pain, shame, and separation, but can heal through the unconditional love and self-acceptance of the spirit-human alliance. Ask yourself: What might be possible if I was willing to just \"be with\" my insecurities and past wounding, without needing to fix them? What if my attempts to fix them was what was actually keeping me from seeing the divine perfection of it all?\r\n\r\nRather than looking to be saved, we are learning to ultimately embody our own divinity — to realize that we are all divine beings, and to live accordingly, knowing that everyone and everything is connected.\r\n\r\nFor those of you who want to have a better understanding of your personal healing journey, feel free to get the recording of my Chiron-workshop: \"Healing with Astrology\", available for FREE when joining my online community: <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\">Click here for more info</a>\r\n\r\nAs the ruler of Sagittarius, Jupiter features strongly in this New Moon chart; the planet is currently in Scorpio, making a trine to Neptune in Pisces and squaring the Moon Nodes.\r\n\r\nJupiter\'s Trine to Neptune supports the opening of our heart and mind to spiritual realities beyond the borders of our previous understandings. Neptune represents unconditional love -- this is not based on personality or preference, but on the remembrance that we are all one with the Cosmos, eternally exploring and evolving.\r\n\r\nNeptune in Pisces asks us to have faith in the infinite support we receive every day from the universe — whether our mind understands it or not (what we understand with the mind is very different from what we comprehend with the heart).\r\n\r\nSeeing through the illusion of separation from the divine is perhaps the greatest perspective shift of all. What might be possible if we allowed ourselves to glance past our filters and glimpse the truth of who we are?\r\n\r\nJupiter in Scorpio also squares the Moon Nodes in Leo/Aquarius, asking us to share our deepest secrets, in order to help transform past traumas. We are being asked to take a 90-degree turn, to gain a new perspective, to explore different avenues, leading to different outcomes, especially in regards to our intimate relationships, our ability to connect on a deep emotional level, and in regards to sharing our resources with others.\r\n\r\nWe are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we want to focus on having more fun, joy and self-expression in our lives; on the other, we are asked to expand and learn about our inner experiences, our deeper issues — and to find a new perspective for who we are deep down, then communicate and share this, so we can shine consciousness and light on it.\r\n\r\nIn order to get to a place of greater joy on an individual level, one where we truly feel grateful for our lives, we need to first transform our perspective on old traumas and other deep issues from our past.\r\n\r\nIf this New Moon had a core message, it would be: Honor old patterns and struggles while releasing your attachments to them. As best as you can, provide yourself with compassion and understanding -- embrace your humanity in all its extraordinary capabilities and in its healing capacity. Ask yourself: Why am I here? Where am I going? What beliefs call out for reassessment? What do I believe -- and what do I simply “know”? Where do I need to take a leap of faith... or simply trust?\r\n\r\nBe open to shifting your perceptions. Where have I made assumptions? Which one of my \"filters\" could I do without for a while, just as an exercise in freedom?\r\n\r\nKeep looking at what needs to heal and keep taking responsibility for the \"deeper\" issues in your life. Where am I being challenged to \"be with what is\"? What does \"spiritual maturity\" mean to me?  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/new-moon-in-sagittarius-dec-2017-perception-and-perspective/\">Again, feel free to watch my New Moon video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 24-29 degrees of Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, Pisces? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</em>\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle. Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely not during a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the best time to set intentions would be any time between 1:30am until 8:10am EST Monday morning (Dec. 18th); and then again from 8:33am EST on Monday (Dec. 18th) until 1:30am EST Wednesday very early morning (Dec. 20th).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 8:10am EST,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for 23 minutes, until 8:33am EST. Use this intuitive time to focus on long-term projects that involve a truthful perspective or an adventure into the truth. As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 8:33am EST,</strong> the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Wednesday evening. We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it\'s still transiting through Sagittarius until Tuesday late evening, making this a great time to take a long, last look at our belief structures, explore limiting beliefs and bust through conditioned thought structures. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at the \"meaning of life\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, be authentic about your beliefs: Do they actually match your direct experience of life -- as it is for you now, rather than 5 or 10 years ago? What is true as of now? What is not?\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (Dec. 19th):</strong> the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn all day (see Monday morning for details). If you haven\'t set your New Moon Intentions yet, <strong>today (Tuesday all day)</strong> is still time to do so during the most potent time... If you\'d like some input on how to do that, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">check out this article</a> -- you could also <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/new-moon-in-sagittarius-dec-2017-perception-and-perspective/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(re-)watch my New Moon video</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 11:49pm EST,</strong> Saturn changes signs from adventurous, truth-seeking and enthusiastic Sagittarius to practical, accomplishment-oriented and responsible Capricorn, where it will journey until Dec., 2020 (except for the period between March and July of 2020, when it will temporarily move into Aquarius, giving us preview of what\'s to come beyond Capricorn).\r\n\r\nSaturn feels quite comfortable in Capricorn, as that planet \"rules\" this earth sign; you might say that Capricorn and Saturn have a lot in common and understand each other. Here are some key characteristics that apply to both:\r\n\r\nBuilding long-lasting structures, diligence, effort, persistence in the face of no immediate rewards (i.e. deferred gratification), resilience, achievement, ambition, being goal-oriented, planning ahead, self-discipline, a mature, realistic approach, patience, hard work, integrity, manifestation through consistent application, setting heathy boundaries, focusing on what\'s within our control, taking our time, slowing down, karma (you reap what you sow), working towards becoming an authority of some kind... You get the idea :-)\r\n\r\nSo, between now and Dec. 2020, we are invited to look for practical applications for our ambitions. We may well be firming up our long-term goals -- this transit is a time to focus on building a secure foundation in our professional lives.\r\n\r\nSaturn in Capricorn also reminds us that in order to build or bring forth our visions, we need to look at the practical implications -- we need to slow down and take our time, if we are to manifest something that can withstand the test of time -- something that is of value to society, not just to a few.\r\n\r\nHowever, before we can know exactly what path to take, we must know where we currently stand -- we have to be realistic about \"where we\'re at\" to know what steps to take.\r\n\r\nIt\'s a time when we are working hard, taking on our fair share of duties and responsibilities, and either reaping some of the rewards of our hard work or facing the consequences of poor choices. We are invited, individually and collectively, to apply our newly refined ethics and life perspectives in a healthy and productive way.\r\n\r\nThink back to the period between Nov. 1988 and Feb. 1991 -- the last time Saturn made this journey: What did you accomplish back then, in regards to long-term goals, or the building of healthy foundations in your life? What area of life got a lot of your attention and focus in those days? Where did you have to apply yourself and have patience?\r\n\r\nBy the way, if you were born during that time period, you will experience your first \"Saturn Return\" within the next three years... (and if you were born between January, 1959 and January, 1962, you\'re coming up on your second Saturn Return).\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how Saturn\'s journey in Capricorn will impact you personally in the next three years, feel free <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/saturn-in-capricorn-until-2020/\">to purchase my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, click here</a> or for a quick preview <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/saturn/5067/\">check out this 30-minute excerpt</a> of the webinar.\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Capricorn or Aquarius? If so, you will most likely feel a greater sense of responsibility, a need to be more realistic, serious and mature.</em>\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Tuesday,</strong> Mercury starts to slow down (station) in 13/14 degrees of Sagittarius, in preparation to come to a halt on Friday (Dec. 22nd) -- ending its 3-week retrograde phase. This station will last until Dec. 27th, and during this time, we will feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments once Mercury is moving direct again (to be more precise, during the shadow phase that follows -- for more details on Mercury Shadow Phases and Retrogrades, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">click here</a>)\r\n\r\nFor the next 8 days, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (if possible): wait until after Jan. 10th, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\nSome of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have Gemini or Virgo as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 13-14 degrees of Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo or Pisces.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (Dec. 20th)</strong>: the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn until 9:29pm EST (see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 10:37am EST,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 10.5 hours, until 9:29pm EST. You may be aware of two seemingly conflicting desires: On the one hand, a need for serious, diligent accomplishment -- and on the other, a desire to break free and rebel against obligations.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take some breaks, and \"let your freak flag fly\" -- just for a moment -- and revel in it! As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday (late morning until late evening) ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday mid-afternoon,</strong> a challenging Venus/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 2:10pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Sunday night on; it will remain strong until this Friday evening. This aspect asks us to stretch past injuries and insecurities in our relationships, self-worth and finances. If we can bring compassion and a different point of view to these issues, we will reach a new understanding of ourselves and our life journey.\r\n\r\nWe have the opportunity to learn from one another; ironically though, social insecurities can be magnified at this time. Whenever Chiron is involved, we are being asked to do some healing work. As best as you can, use this time to learn about your sore spots. Nobody is perfect: we all have our flaws and idiosyncrasies. It\'s ok.\r\n\r\nIf you get triggered by someone, as best as you can, take it as an opportunity to see where this trigger originated -- probably in your childhood. Bring love and compassion to yourself as you are, and as you were. Allow any feelings this may stir up in you. A feeling is just energy that wants to be experienced; it wants to move through us and out.\r\n\r\nThe more we resist our feelings, the more we keep them spinning in place. As best as you can, move from the head to the heart. What might change, if you had 5% more compassion with yourself and others? What if you just decided to have faith in the healing process?\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: 21-28 degrees of Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini or Virgo? If so, you are more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus or Libra (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday evening,</strong> a harmonious Venus/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 6:13pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Sunday night on; it will remain strong until this Friday evening. This aspect helps us to embrace all that is new and unusual in romance and finance. We are ready to experiment -- but not to commit. We have an offbeat, pleasant attitude and people are more willing to socialize.\r\n\r\nThis is an especially good time for financial undertakings involving any of the following: technology and the internet; metaphysics; the arts; group activities. We lose our fear of taking risks at this time, this could be a good couple of days for the stock market indexes…or at the very least, an unpredictable one :-)\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 21-28 degrees of Sagittarius, Aries or Leo? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Aquarius (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Uranus rules Aquarius)</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 9:29pm EST,</strong> the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius, where it will journey until Saturday late morning. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (Dec. 21st):</strong> the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius all day (see Wednesday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 11:28am EST,</strong> the Sun changes signs from optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius to practical, accomplishment-oriented, status-oriented Capricorn. This also marks the shortest day of the year (in the northern hemisphere) and the beginning of Winter -- aka the Winter Solstice.\r\n\r\nThe Solstices are important turning points that take place twice a year: They are energetic gateways for the summer or winter season to come through. Solstice Points are thus extra-potent times to set intentions and take part in ceremonies.\r\n\r\nThe Sun will journey through the sign of Capricorn until January 19th. Capricorn is a feet-on-the-ground, eyes-on-the-prize sign. As the Sun travels through it, we take a realistic, grounded approach to life; we know how to do things, and how to get things done.\r\n\r\nWe have a stronger sense of society and its structure, and feel most secure when doing our part within that structure; as such, worldly recognition may take on more importance for us. Making plans for the future can be very effective right now. We are more risk-averse at this time but we are ready to work hard and focus on what is essential.\r\n\r\n<em>All this is especially true if you are a Leo or Capricorn Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Capricorn, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo, you are more cautious and practical than usual…working towards a realistic long-term goal might be just the thing for you to do.</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday late afternoon,</strong> a Sun/Saturn alignment in 0 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 4:08pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from Monday on; it will remain strong until this Sunday. This alignment brings a more serious tone to our commitments with our long-term goals -- it\'s a time when we are called upon to \"get real\".\r\n\r\nThis is especially true for long-term projects that require diligence and self-discipline, but also applies to anything that requires consistency and a mature approach. We are motivated by the desire to manifest tangible results. We are able to focus and work hard right now, especially if we have a goal in mind, welcoming a sense of discipline, structure or order.\r\n\r\nRecommended at this time: making new commitments to old goals, taking care of our responsibilities, making careful use of anything that\'s within our control\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career point (or any personal planets) in the following: 27-29 degrees of Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, Pisces or 0-3 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries or Libra? If so, you may feel the effects of this alignment more strongly.</em>\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Thursday, </b><i>Uranus begins to slow down</i> -- it will come to a complete halt on Jan. 2nd, prior to starting its direct motion again after its 5-month retrograde phase. We will feel this <i>station</i> <b>until Jan. 14th; </b>until then, anything connected to Uranus\'s energy will come into our awareness quite strongly; we are faced with this planet’s message.\r\n\r\nUranus is all about breaking away from traditional structures, moving towards a new future, a future that serves others as well as ourselves. Keyword: Freedom. We might have flashes of insight or new ideas about what needs to change in our lives. Definitely expect the unexpected.\r\n\r\nUranus also rules electronics, technology and the internet, so don\'t be surprised if you experience some interruptions or short-term failures in these areas. Group activities are also ruled by Uranus, so these will also be more at the forefront of our awareness. As best as you can, stay open and flexible, go with the flow -- and pay attention to those messages from the Universe ;-)\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take a closer look at whatever is \"in your face\" <b>for the next 3.5 weeks.</b> Our intuitions will be very strong during this time and we have access to sudden insights and ideas. This gives us the opportunity to take a look to see how free we actually feel.\r\n\r\nAre we expressing our individuality to the fullest? Are we connecting to a larger vision? Is anything holding us back? What did you discover about visions and freedoms these past 5 months?\r\n\r\n<i>Is your Sun-sign or Ascendant in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>? Or do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 22-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this station.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (Dec. 22nd)</strong>: the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius all day (see Wednesday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 8:51pm EST,</strong> Mercury comes to a halt in 13 degrees of Sagittarius, and slowly starts its direct motion, after its 3-week retrograde phase. As best as you can, go with the flow, keep an open mind and pay attention to anything that is in your face right now -- you may need to address those issues again, when Mercury moves through its shadow phase…more on that later.\r\n\r\nWe are slowly ready to shift our focus back towards the outer world again, taking in new information and sharing from a new perspective. What did you learn about your inner dialog over the past 3 weeks? How might you share your findings in a healthy way with others? What needs to be addressed around your beliefs, perspectives, and attitudes towards life and other people?\r\n\r\nWhen Mercury gets back to its regular speed (by Dec. 27th), communication and transportation will get back to normal; the same is true of any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc.\r\n\r\nSome of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with Gemini or Virgo as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets (or angles) in 11-15 degrees of  Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, or Pisces.\r\n\r\nAs you may recall, I mentioned Mercury shadow phases in this update a few weeks back: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it\'s best to avoid the periods shortly before and after Mercury goes retrograde. This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) This particular shadow phase ends on Jan. 10th. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">Click here to read my blog on the subject</a>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (Dec. 23rd):</strong> the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius until 9:42am EST (see Wednesday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 5:13am EST,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 4.5 hours, until 9:42am EST. This is an intuitive time that presents an opportunity to connect to innovative ideas and unique world-views -- so if you can, connect with like-minded people and explore something new.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday morning ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 9:42am EST,</strong> the Moon moves into creative, sensitive Pisces, where it will journey until Monday evening. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (Dec. 24th):</strong> the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces all day (see Saturday late morning for details).\r\n\r\nSunday at 9:48pm EST, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 21.5 hours, until 7:27pm EST (Monday evening). Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect to your higher Self, and if possible, bring a sense of flow and faith to your long-term plans -- especially those you feel really passionate about.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday night and Monday Day ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (Dec. 25th):</strong> the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">VoC</a> until 7:27pm EST (see Saturday late morning for details). At 12:26am EST, Venus moves from Sagittarius into Capricorn where it will journey until January 18th 2018. In early afternoon, a Venus/Saturn alignment in 0.5 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 12:55pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Friday on; it will remain strong until this Thursday. At 7:27pm EST, the Moon moves into Aries, where it will journey until Thursday very early morning. More about all the details in next week’s forecast ;-)\r\n<h3>One Last Announcement:</h3>\r\nJoin me for my next FORECASTING FORUM, Wednesday, <strong>Jan. 3rd, 2018 at</strong> 1pm PST/ <strong>4pm EST</strong>/9pm GMT (London-time).

Feel free to <a href=\"https://goo.gl/3GBjcD\">check out this 30-minute excerpt</a> -- enjoy!\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how Saturn\'s journey in Capricorn will impact you personally in the next three years, feel free to get the mp4-video presentation. <a href=\"http://goo.gl/8nXkE0\">To purchase this 90+ minute webinar, click here</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>This week\'s headline items</strong>: Chiron, though no longer retrograde, is still stationing all week; Mercury is still retrograde all week. Saturn will be in 29 degrees of Sagittarius all week (this is the last degree of the sign). The Balsamic Moon phase begins on Thursday morning and the New Moon in Sagittarius becomes exact on Sunday night.\r\n\r\n<strong>There will also be two <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week:</strong> Wednesday morning (for 1.5 hours), and Thursday evening (for almost 23.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (Dec. 11th) at 12:01am EST,</strong> the Moon moves into relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking Libra, where it will journey until Wednesday early morning. The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\nChiron in Pisces is no longer retrograde, but is stationing <strong>all week,</strong> and Saturn will be in 29 degrees of Sagittarius <strong>all week</strong> -- the last degree of that sign -- this means that both of these planets are exalted all week. Our focus is directed to the healing process around our relationship to intuition and our emotional sensitivities -- and we are also directed to take a long, last look at our belief structures.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Do the stories I tell myself about life open my heart and mind? Do they make me more loving or more fearful? Do they enrich my life or narrow it? What is \"truth\" -- does it exist? What is my truth?\r\n\r\nWhat might true acceptance and kindness look like towards myself, others, and the world at large? What if a compassionate approach to my inner healing process actually benefited me and others?\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (December 12th):</strong> the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra <strong>all day</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday evening</strong>, a Sun/Mercury alignment in 21º of Sagittarius becomes exact at 8:49pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from Monday on; it will remain strong until Wednesday night. This aspect indicates a confident mind and an analytical approach to life. Intelligence and communication abilities are strong at this time; however, we may not listen as well as the other speaks -- we might be too busy thinking about what to say next.\r\n\r\nWith this alignment taking place in Sagittarius, we may feel particularly rushed or impatient, but it may not always serve us to get stuck on being \"right\" or insisting on things going faster.\r\n\r\nWe want an active role in communications -- it\'s very hard for us to passively listen and absorb information right now. What we say or write now has impact; so, as best as you can, choose your words wisely. If people hung on your every word, what would you say then? What would you hold back from saying?\r\n\r\nOur opinions are strong and our thinking independent -- and we\'re proud of both -- our egos may therefore get bruised if we don\'t feel \"heard\". As best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have different opinion and that\'s ok.\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo or Pisces? If so, you will be more affected by this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo, Gemini or Virgo (the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (Dec. 13th):</strong> the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra until 8:59am EST (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 7:27am EST,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for 1.5 hours, until 8:59am EST. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to collaborate with others and bring a new level of focus and authenticity to your exploration of life.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday evening and night ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 8:59am EST,</strong> the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong>, where it will journey until Friday evening. We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s therefore an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can therefore be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so as best you can, be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (Dec. 14th):</strong> the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio all day (see Wednesday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday late morning</strong>, Balsamic Moon phase begins when the Moon enters 11.5º of Scorpio. This lasts until Sunday night/Monday very early morning, when the New Moon in <strong>Sagittarius</strong> becomes exact (more on that later...however, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">feel free to watch my video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\nWe are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our inner sensing/intuition. For some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes.\r\n\r\nThis is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 8:42pm EST,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 23.5 hours, until 8:07pm EST (Friday evening). Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to focus on inner processes. As best as you can, release any fears or traumas that keep you stuck in the past, and deepen your connection to what you feel deeply passionate about.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday evening and Friday Day ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (Dec. 15th):</strong> the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">VoC</a>  until 8:07pm EST (see Wednesday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday morning</strong>, a Mercury/Venus alignment in 18º of Sagittarius becomes exact at 9:09am EST. We started to feel this aspect from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until this Sunday evening. This is an excellent time to share about bravery, acts of heroism, physical activities, sports, new adventures or endeavors, ourselves, our personal goals -- or anything we feel passionate about -- and also about any teaching endeavors connected to those areas.\r\n\r\nThis alignment supports communicating from a passionate heart -- and in fact, it becomes essential to connect to people with whom we feel a strong affinity. We wish to form those connections in a spirit of harmony, directness and equality. In fact, we tend generally to have a strong sense of fairness at this time, and want to be around people who share this passion.\r\n\r\nWe also thoroughly enjoy the written and spoken word -- literature, wordplay, puns, moving conversations -- especially when these words speak of something new (or courageous).\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 15-21 degrees of Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo or Pisces?  If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly; the same is true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Virgo, Gemini, Libra or Taurus  (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra)</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 8:07pm EST</strong>, the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius, where it will journey until Monday morning (Dec. 18th). We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence, which means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, than take orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late evening,</strong> a challenging Sun/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 10:46pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from Tuesday night on; it will remain strong until Monday evening (Dec. 18). This asks us to stretch ourselves and expand from within. We might feel less confident about who we are, and have a hard time projecting a social \"front\". Our conditioned mind and wounded feelings may be out of harmony with each other.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take this as an opportunity to make space for feeling vulnerable or emotional without seeing yourself as weak or \"less than\". It is perfectly ok to have feelings and feel insecure once in a while; as best as you can, bring compassion and love to yourself and others. After all, we are all human…\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in 21-28 degrees of Sagittarius, Pisces, Virgo, or Gemini? If so, you will feel the effects of this aspect more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo (the Sun rules Leo).</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (Dec. 16th)</strong>: the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius <strong>all day</strong>  (see Friday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday morning</strong>, a harmonious Sun/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 6:28am EST. We started to feel this aspect from Tuesday night on; it will remain strong until Monday evening (Dec. 18). This aspect connects us to a strong energy field -- physical and metaphysical. We feel alive, we want to create a better future for ourselves and others, and we want to have fun doing it. Watch out for messages from the Universe :-)\r\n\r\nOriginality and innovation come easy to us, as does connection with like-minded people. We can celebrate (and leverage) our idealism and unorthodox approaches to life\'s challenges. What if you expressed what\'s uniquely \"you\" without apologies? What if you did it with authenticity and pride? And, looking at things from a different angle: What might be possible with a bigger network of like-minded people?\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in 21-28 degrees of Sagittarius, Aries or Leo? If so, you will feel more blessed by this planetary connection than otherwise.This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aquarius or Leo (the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius)</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (Dec. 17th)</strong>: the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius <strong>all day</strong> (see Friday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early morning</strong> starts with lots of mental energy and an adventurous attitude.\r\n\r\n<strong>Towards the late morning/mid-day</strong>, we still have lots of energy at our disposal, plus a desire to connect with others and have some adventures. Physical exercise or activities with others are great ways to channel this energy.\r\n\r\n<strong>Towards the later evening,</strong> we may need to make some adjustments again. As best you can, honor both your need for adventure and exploration of life and your need to heal past wounding or insecurities.\r\n\r\nYou may also feel a pull between introvert and extrovert, or simply fast and slow. Tune in for a moment and see if you need to take a break or at least slow down a little. As best as you can, be compassionate and kind with yourself.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening:</strong> we might find ourselves wanting to connect with like-minded people, so we can share our enthusiasm and vision for life with them.\r\n\r\nAs <strong>Sunday</strong> is also the last day before the New Moon becomes exact, this is a great day to let go of what no longer serves us. As best as you can, avoid jumping the gun: Rather than launching into brand-new endeavors or connections, wait until a couple of days have passed after the New Moon.\r\n\r\nSome of us might feel a little anxious or nervous today: As best as you can, get quiet and go within… Listen to the silence between the sounds… Find peace in the connection with your innermost and truest Self.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday night/Monday very early morning at 1:30am EST,</strong> the New Moon in 26.5º of Sagittarius becomes exact. I will write in more detail about this New Moon in next week\'s forecasts -- for now, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">feel free to watch my video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (Dec. 18th)</strong>: The Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius until 8:33am EST (see Friday evening for details). Monday very early morning, at 1:30am EST, the New Moon in 26.5 degrees of Sagittarius becomes exact. At 8:10am EST, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for 23 minutes, until 8:33am EST. At that time, the Moon moves into <strong>Capricorn</strong>, where it will journey until Wednesday evening.

Last but not least, Eclipse season begins on Sunday and will last until Feb. 25th.</span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>There will also be three <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week</strong>: Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning (for 2 hours), Friday morning (for a little over 8.5 hours), and Sunday evening (for a little over 5 hours).</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday (January 15th): </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day.</b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> It will journey there <b>until Wednesday very early morning. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, be truthful with yourself about where you are at: Do you actually have a realistic view about what is so, right now, in your life? Not what you wish it to be or what you would like it to be or where you see yourself going.... What is so right now? Once you know where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\", whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday very early morning, </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">becomes exact at 1:59am EST.</span><b> We started to feel this aspect from Friday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday morning. </b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Until Friday, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">23-27 degrees</span> of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>?

Last but not least, Eclipse season begins on Sunday and will last until Feb. 25th.</span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>There will also be three <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week</strong>: Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning (for 2 hours), Friday morning (for a little over 8.5 hours), and Sunday evening (for a little over 5 hours).</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday (January 15th): </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day.</b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> It will journey there <b>until Wednesday very early morning. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, be truthful with yourself about where you are at: Do you actually have a realistic view about what is so, right now, in your life? Not what you wish it to be or what you would like it to be or where you see yourself going.... What is so right now? Once you know where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\", whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday very early morning, </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">becomes exact at 1:59am EST.</span><b> We started to feel this aspect from Friday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday morning. </b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Until Friday, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">23-27 degrees</span> of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>?

We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support us in achieving professional or personal goals. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: Where in my life could I hone into solving situations, so I can get to where I intent to go? How could a passionate approach support my long-term goals? How could other people\'s resources support my ability to transform and stand in my power?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><b><i> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">17-21 degrees</span> </i></b><i>of</i><b><i> Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces </i></b><i>or <strong>Virgo</strong></i><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces). </i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday (January 16th): </b><em>t</em><b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">he Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</span></i></b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(see Sunday mid-afternoon for details). </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday evening, at 9:17pm EST</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the </span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New Moon aligns with the Sun in almost 27 degrees of </span></i><b><i>Capricorn. </i></b><b>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered </b><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><b> last Sunday (Jan. 14th) mid-afternoon. </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(</span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">24-29 degrees)</span></i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Wednesday (January 17th): <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>t</em>he Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented <strong>Capricorn</strong></span></i></b><i> </i><b>until 3:32am EST </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(see Sunday mid-afternoon for details). </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Wednesday at 1:30am EST, </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">we enter a </span><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moon void of course (VoC)</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that lasts for 2 hours, </span><b>until 3:32am EST</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

As best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through your relationships.\r\n\r\nWe\'re also ready to experiment with our financial undertakings -- good places to look: all things \"tech\" (electronics, technology, internet); metaphysics; the arts; group activities.

However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to the upcoming Solar Eclipse, a powerful New Moon in <b>Aquarius (on Feb.15th).</b> During the last Quarter Moon, we are better served by reviewing those projects we began around the last New Moon -- in this case, that would be Jan. 16th -- as opposed to launching new ones.\r\n\r\nSince this is also the last Moon phase before the Solar Eclipse becomes exact, it also ends an Eclipse cycle; journeys begun around the time of the last Eclipse (Aug. 21st), especially those connected to finding our inner joy and a healthy self-expression of our talents, are now coming to completion.\r\n\r\nGiven that: <span style=\"color: #993300;\">What projects call for completion on your journey to happiness?

We are ready to make a new start: if you are single, this could be a great chance to start something new (all things being equal ;-)\r\n\r\nWith Venus in <strong>Aries</strong>, spontaneity and independence are important to us. You’re not the only one who likes a challenge, so don\'t make it too easy for others to win you over ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you are already in a committed relationship, you get a wonderful chance to bring freshness and excitement to your bedroom and \"other parts of the house\" ;-) We also have more energy than usual; we are more likely to want to get out of the house, and be active with others.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, beauty and love will enter your life during this time, you will feel more attractive and you will attract things to you. As a </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i>, you will feel more energized, passionate and more direct than usual.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 7th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><strong><b><i>Scorpio</i></b></strong><strong> until 5:03pm EST</strong> (see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 3:55am EST</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 13 hours, <strong>until 5:03pm EST</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with others on a deep emotional level, and explore greater truths about your ability to make those authentic connections.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday morning and afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 5:03pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i>, </b>where it will journey<i> <strong>until Saturday early morning</strong></i><b>. </b>We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things. This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Friday morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 8th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b></strong> (see Wednesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday around 11pm EST, </strong><i>Mercury enters a 3-week shadow phase</i><i>, as it reaches 4 degrees and 47 minutes of </i><b><i>Aries. </i></b>This precedes the retrograde phase, which will begin on March 22nd in almost 17 degrees of <b>Aries</b> (more on that in 3 weeks).\r\n\r\nSo what is the \"shadow phase\"? To explain this, I\'ll quickly cover what happens when a planet \"stations\" and then goes \"retrograde\".\r\n\r\nRelative to us on Earth, a planet sometimes looks like it is slowing down (\"stationing\"), then stopping. After being still for a while, it actually appears to go \"backward\" through the sky (this is the \"retrograde\" phase). It\'s a little like catching up to a car on the highway, driving exactly alongside it for a moment, then passing it and pulling ahead.\r\n\r\nAt first, retrograde movement is slow, but the planet gradually reaches its normal pace through the sky -- except it\'s going backward. The process then reverses itself: the backward pace slows, the planet crawls to a \"halt\", then it starts to move forward again (i.e. it goes direct). In our car analogy, it\'s like the car you just passed gradually speeds up and passes you again.\r\n\r\nThere are also two \"shadow\" phases -- during these, the planet travels over a part of the sky it will later \"revisit\". The first \"shadow\" comes before the planet moves backward; the second comes when the planet starts to catch back up (after going direct).\r\n\r\nIt\'s like you went hiking and left something behind at camp. If you went back to get it, you\'d have some catching up to do, and would see the same scenery twice or more.\r\n\r\nMercury\'s shadow phases usually last 2-3 weeks before and after the Retrograde phase.\r\n\r\nIf you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items -- especially connected to transportation (cars, airline tickets, etc.) or communication devices (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) -- be aware of the shadow periods as well as the retrograde phases. If possible, get these things done before Mercury enters it\'s shadow or wait until after the shadow phases are over -- that would be <strong>May 3rd</strong> in this case ;-)\r\n\r\nOf course, if there is something that <i>must</i> get done during these phases, don\'t put your whole life on hold, just because Mercury is retrograde or in it\'s shadow. Sometimes things line up exactly at the right time; as best as you can, trust that it\'s all \"perfect\" ;-)\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Thursday late evening, at 11:45pm EST, </strong><i>Jupiter comes to a halt </i>at 23 degrees of <strong>Scorpio</strong>,<b> </b>starting its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. The retrograde phases are inner processes -- they help us connect to a particular energy internally, and thus express it externally (once Jupiter goes direct again). Jupiter retrograde brings a chance to tap inner wisdom, optimism and sense of possibility, and an inner understanding of how the world works. This retrograde phase lasts <b>until July 10th.</b>\r\n\r\nDuring this time, we get to choose what we truly believe -- which beliefs serve us and which don\'t -- and we can more easily let go of limiting beliefs and experience new truths. While retrograde in <strong>Scorpio</strong> -- here are some coaching questions:\r\n\r\nWhat do I believe about my intimate partnerships? About empowerment? Disempowerment? Deep authentic connections? Where am I making assumptions that do not serve me? What might be holding me back?\r\n\r\nThe connection to inner wisdom is heightened. Ask yourself: What do I “just know”? If the answer is “I don’t know”, ask yourself “What if I did know? What mighty it be in that case?”\r\n\r\nFeel free to <a href=\"https://youtu.be/JtMJiPnnZWc\">check out my 30-minute excerpt</a> from my webinar about the Jupiter and Mercury Station and Retrograde phases in March: https://youtu.be/JtMJiPnnZWc\r\n\r\nAnd if you want to know how that will impact you personally, feel free to buy the whole 90+ min. webinar on the subject --  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a> -- we talked about what to expect for the next 4 weeks, and how it all applies to our own birth charts ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> 12-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this retrograde phase. This is also true for those of us who have our</i><i> Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter rules Sagittarius, so Sagittarius will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (March 9th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b> </strong>(see Wednesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 6:20am EST, </strong><i>the last Quarter Moon in almost 19 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b> will be exact.<b> </b>The Moon in adventurous, truth-seeking <b>Sagittarius</b> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in sensitive, dreamy, compassionate<b> Pisces. </b>This may bring up some challenges. However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to March 17th\'s New Moon in <strong>Pisces</strong>. We are thus best served by reviewing projects begun since the last New Moon in mid February (which was also a Solar Eclipse).\r\n\r\nWhat -- if anything -- needs adjustments? What did you discover since Feb. 15th? What did it mean for you? As best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-21 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Gemini</i></b><i>, <b>Pisces, </b>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s last Quarter Moon.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 9:27pm EST</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for almost 7.5 hours, <strong>until at 4:52am EST (Saturday early morning)</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self — explore, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday night and Saturday early morning ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 10th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b></strong>and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><strong> until 4:52am EST </strong>(see Wednesday late afternoon and Friday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 4:52am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Monday morning (March 12th)</strong><b>. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Starting tomorrow</strong> (Sunday, March 11th), my <em>Weekly Forecast</em> and <em>Full Moon videos</em> are only going to be available to my new online community. <b>For a limited time only,</b> you can continue receiving all of the wonderful forecasts uninterrupted, for the price of a Cappuccino!

At 2am, Daylight Saving Time begins in the US today, turning the clocks forward an hour and moving from EST to EDT.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning, </strong><em>a challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:00am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (March 13th). </strong>This aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature. Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to your passions, while remaining committed to exploring them one step at a time. What is my life calling me to explore? Could I go for it (one step at a time)?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

In general, our efforts are successful and we scale new heights of originality. As best as you can, stay open to new and unexpected things. Highly recommended: Group activities, group causes and connecting to like-minded people from all over the world.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or one or more personal planets) in the following: 23-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Aries,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Leo, </i></b><i>or </i><i>0 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler Aries; Uranus rules Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Sunday morning, </strong><em>an opportune Sun/Pluto aspect </em>becomes exact at 7:56am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until Monday night. </strong>This is an opportunity to bring a sense of compassion and creativity to whatever needs restructuring or rebuilding in our lives.\r\n\r\nIt’s also an opportunity to notice how obsessed we’ve become about manifesting something real/authentic and soften our approach a little. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to make something of it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.

These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 1:46pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 9 hours, until 10:56pm EST. Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 10:56pm EST</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey <b>until Thursday morning. </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s therefore an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can therefore be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so as best you can, be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (February 6th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b><strong>(see Monday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday evening,</strong> <em>an opportune Venus/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 8:37pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday morning on; it will remain strong until Thursday morning.</strong><b> </b>This gives us the opportunity to experiment with how we relate to others -- to do something different or unusual -- freedom plays a big part in this aspect.\r\n\r\nOf course, others are experimenting too, so you might experience some unusual or unexpected interactions during this time -- it\'s a favorable time for social meetings and events. As best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through your relationships.\r\n\r\nWe\'re also ready to experiment with our financial undertakings -- good places to look: all things \"tech\" (electronics, technology, internet); metaphysics; the arts; group activities.

Take a breath. Relax. Find your peace. Don\'t require the Universe to move more rapidly than it is. It is actually working perfectly, and it will prove that to you if you will give it a chance. Really. Trust me on this.” — Neale Donald Walsh</span>\r\n<h3>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement:</h3>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are getting closer to the launch of my new online community!</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> Right now we are aiming for Jan.16th or 17th -- keep your fingers crossed for me ;-) I\'m super-excited, and at the same time, I also sometimes stress out about the scope of this amazing new beginning for myself and everyone out there who will join us. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">But as my spiritual coach likes to remind me, \"Life is an ongoing experiment\" and \"True professionalism is about being able to be flexible and kind about unforeseen situations that come up, allowing ourselves to learn from them and finding out how to make creative adjustments.\"</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>This week\'s headline item<span style=\"color: #000000;\">s</span></b>: the New Moon in Capricorn becomes exact on Tuesday; Venus changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius on Wednesday, and the Sun will do the same on Friday. Last but not least, Eclipse season begins on Sunday and runs until Feb. 25th.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>There will also be three <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week</strong>: Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning (for 2 hours), Friday morning (for a little over 8.5 hours), and Sunday evening (for a little over 5 hours).</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday (January 15th): </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day.</b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> It will journey there <b>until Wednesday very early morning. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, be truthful with yourself about where you are at: Do you actually have a realistic view about what is so, right now, in your life? Not what you wish it to be or what you would like it to be or where you see yourself going.... What is so right now? Once you know where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\", whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday very early morning, </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">becomes exact at 1:59am EST.</span><b> We started to feel this aspect from Friday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday morning. </b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Until Friday, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">23-27 degrees</span> of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday late evening: </b><i>an opportune long-term Jupiter/Pluto aspect </i>that we <b>started to feel back on Tuesday Jan. 3rd becomes exact at 11:13pm EST; it will remain strong until Wednesday, Jan. 31st </b>and brings with it an opportunity to deepen our relationships, business and personal alike. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">A positive attitude and deeper trust in our connections with others gives us the chance to build something meaningful and share our passions with them. We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support professional or personal goals. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: Where could I really dig in to solve a problem? How might passion help deliver on my long-term goals? How could other people\'s resources support my ability to create transformation? How might they help me stand in my power?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><b><i> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">17-21 degrees</span> </i></b><i>of</i><b><i> Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces </i></b><i>or <strong>Virgo</strong></i><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces). </i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday (Jan. 16th): </b><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>t</em><b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">he Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</span></i></b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day </b></span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">(see Monday for details).</span> </span></span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday evening, at 9:17pm ES</b>T<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,</span><em> the Moon aligns with the Sun in almost 27 degrees of Capricorn, </em>launching </span><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">a new Moon cycle.</span> </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is a good time to go within, to seed anything we would like to accomplish for the next 28 days, and maybe even beyond. The next section of this forecast will dig in to this in more detail; you may also want to watch my New Moon video :-) </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is the first New Moon of the year and since <strong>Capricorn</strong> represents the quest for mastery on the physical plane, some useful questions you can ask yourself include: </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">What is my relationship to the physical? Do I respect the laws of matter? Am I going about things in a realistic way? How committed am I really? Where does my inner compass point? What am I willing to undergo to overcome adversity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The highest vibration of <strong>Capricorn</strong> is the development of responsibility, resourcefulness, reliability, self-mastery, the ability to set realistic goals and healthy boundaries. The next 28 days are a perfect time to work on these areas. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, prepare for the future, make commitments and recognize responsibilities -- in other words, nurture your dreams in a realistic manner. Focus on setting and achieving practical and attainable long-term goals, one step at a time, one day at a time -- this is not about immediate results, it\'s about the quality of the foundation you are building.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> also invites us to set the kind of realistic limits and boundaries that allow everyone involved to learn from the consequences of their choices. Where in my life am I able to set realistic limits and boundaries? Where is that an obstacle in your life? What am I afraid of in those moments? What would be the worst of that?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> relates directly to the level of our maturity: We start out on a more instinctual, survival level; this stage is basically fear-based, with a scarcity mentality. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Once we get better at living on the earth plane -- and we understand the rules better -- we transition to goal-oriented ambition and self-challenge, seeking recognition and rewards. This phase is still sometimes fear-based, but already we are taking more responsibility for our part in achieving things, and we are manifesting on the physical plane. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Eventually, as we grow spiritually and learn more about the laws of matter, earthly ambitions are often replaced by some form of spiritual service. We recognize that personal gain is not the only (or even the highest) goal, we see that when we contribute to others, we are also giving to ourselves -- perhaps we also surpass the physical appearance of separation and connect to life in it\'s highest form.</span> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">At this level, we are living in pure accordance with our conscience, from a place of maturity and inner guidance.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: What if I developed 5% more discipline? Integrity? What about 5% more commitment towards something that aligns both with myself and with life itself? What would 100% responsibility for my life look like? What if I responded to situations in a way that respects and serves all those involved? </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">  </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> <em>This New Moon aligns with Venus and Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong> and squares Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>.</em> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">First let\'s focus on the alignment with Venus and Pluto: This conveys an extra-potent message about our perception of physical reality -- time and space -- and about our relationship to love, our values, power or feeling empowered. Ask yourself: If I truly had choice in the matter, what kind of future would I choose to step into? Who would I choose to connect with? Why? Who would I not choose to connect with? Why not?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Venus in conjunction with the New Moon</em> advises us to choose wisely and from the heart. Ask yourself: Am I true to myself? Am I working too hard without making enough progress? Am I expressing my feelings truthfully? Or hiding my true feelings from others? Am I in touch with what\'s important to me -- especially in regards to relationships? Am I happy? Could I love and respect myself and life 5% more?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">With this many planets in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, it is important for us to take breaks — or simply slow down and allow ourselves to tune in. It’s important to explore ways to stay heart-centered and grounded -- seek tools or people to help you with that exploration. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Now let\'s talk about <em>the square to Uranus</em> -- the energy of freedom, innovation and reform. This combo focuses our attention on the right use of power -- which respects the rights, needs, and gifts of all beings. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: Where do I need to be more courageous? Where do I need to \"think different\"? What if I became 5% more aware of my personal power? Where might I have given it away to others? And how might I begin to reclaim it? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Remember that change is not always progress. Consider all options first and then respond, rather than reacting; stay flexible and be willing to entertain new possibilities. What if -- in small or large ways -- I could help birth a new age, and with it a new world, one based on heart-centered consciousness and individual freedoms?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>The New Moon also sextiles Mars in <strong>Scorpio</strong> and Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong></em>. This is an opportunity to heal our collective wounds around any sense of spiritual disconnection in our world of accomplishments. We get a chance to connect more deeply with others and bring a powerful approach to what we are building and working towards. Our actions tend to be in greater alignment with our deepest desires.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: What if I could be both productive <em>and</em> gentle with myself at the same time? What would a compassionate approach make possible? What is pushing or pulling at me? How could my actions become a source of empowerment? What if I allowed all actions to flow from a deep sense of authentic connectedness? What if I forgave myself and others for having flaws or limitations?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Given that it rules <strong>Capricorn</strong>, <em>Saturn\'s placement in its own sign</em> plays an important role with this New Moon -- and if you\'d like to know how Saturn\'s journey in <strong>Capricorn</strong> will impact you personally over the next three years, feel free to check out my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, available for purchase <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-recorded-webinars/\">on my website</a> (or check out a<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/5067/\"> 30-minute excerpt for free :-)</a></span>\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Saturn conjuncts Mercury while in <strong>Capricorn</strong></em>. This reminds us of the power of our mind -- that our thoughts and words matter. What am I doing, career-wise? What is the long-term plan? How can I honor and share those goals with others in a clear and honest way? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">It\'s time to think seriously about what no longer works. As best as you can, investigate your thought processes: What no longer feels useful in my approach? What if I got real about that? What might be possible if I took 5% more responsibility for my inner dialog, and the energy those thoughts disperse?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>To sum all of this up:</strong> We are invited to become mature, responsible planetary citizens, while honoring our individuality -- in other words, making a difference, one by one -- even when it seems as though we are too little to create a big shift on our own. No matter how small an action may seem, every pebble makes a ripple...</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This cosmic combo also directs our attention to our bottom lines. What matters most to me? What are my priorities? Am I living my truth, and thus loving my goals? Where is it best to be flexible, and where must I remain focused and in alignment with my commitments? When have I felt the happiest? What if I committed 5% more to the things, people and places in my life that make me happy? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Inner strength and self-reliance come almost entirely from adversity; obstacles are the part of life that show us where we have an opportunity to become more capable and where we have drifted from contact with outer reality or inner truth. Am I on the right track, as best as I can tell? Am I walking my own path? Or someone else\'s? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">What obstacles can I see or sense from here? What if there was value in those obstacles? Could I send them gratitude for being given the opportunity to get back into greater alignment with myself and reality?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Choose wisely for 2018 and beyond. Participate consciously in the evolution of existence on this planet, not from fear, but from knowledge of your inner strength and personal power -- the power of your heart and your humanity! Trust your inner truth!</span>\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are also about to enter Eclipse season, as the first of two Eclipses becomes exact on Jan. 31st; I\'ll be talking more about this in my next Monthly Forecasting Forum on Feb. 3rd.

Trust me on this.” — Neale Donald Walsh</span>\r\n<h3>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement:</h3>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are getting closer to the launch of my new online community!</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> Right now we are aiming for Jan.16th or 17th -- keep your fingers crossed for me ;-) I\'m super-excited, and at the same time, I also sometimes stress out about the scope of this amazing new beginning for myself and everyone out there who will join us. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">But as my spiritual coach likes to remind me, \"Life is an ongoing experiment\" and \"True professionalism is about being able to be flexible and kind about unforeseen situations that come up, allowing ourselves to learn from them and finding out how to make creative adjustments.\"</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>This week\'s headline item<span style=\"color: #000000;\">s</span></b>: the New Moon in Capricorn becomes exact on Tuesday; Venus changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius on Wednesday, and the Sun will do the same on Friday. Last but not least, Eclipse season begins on Sunday and runs until Feb. 25th.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>There will also be three <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week</strong>: Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning (for 2 hours), Friday morning (for a little over 8.5 hours), and Sunday evening (for a little over 5 hours).</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday (January 15th): </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day.</b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> It will journey there <b>until Wednesday very early morning. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, be truthful with yourself about where you are at: Do you actually have a realistic view about what is so, right now, in your life? Not what you wish it to be or what you would like it to be or where you see yourself going.... What is so right now? Once you know where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\", whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday very early morning, </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">becomes exact at 1:59am EST.</span><b> We started to feel this aspect from Friday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday morning. </b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Until Friday, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">23-27 degrees</span> of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday late evening: </b><i>an opportune long-term Jupiter/Pluto aspect </i>that we <b>started to feel back on Tuesday Jan. 3rd becomes exact at 11:13pm EST; it will remain strong until Wednesday, Jan. 31st </b>and brings with it an opportunity to deepen our relationships, business and personal alike. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">A positive attitude and deeper trust in our connections with others gives us the chance to build something meaningful and share our passions with them. We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support professional or personal goals. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: Where could I really dig in to solve a problem? How might passion help deliver on my long-term goals? How could other people\'s resources support my ability to create transformation? How might they help me stand in my power?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><b><i> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">17-21 degrees</span> </i></b><i>of</i><b><i> Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces </i></b><i>or <strong>Virgo</strong></i><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces). </i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday (Jan. 16th): </b><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>t</em><b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">he Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</span></i></b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day </b></span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">(see Monday for details).</span> </span></span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday evening, at 9:17pm ES</b>T<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,</span><em> the Moon aligns with the Sun in almost 27 degrees of Capricorn, </em>launching </span><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">a new Moon cycle.</span> </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is a good time to go within, to seed anything we would like to accomplish for the next 28 days, and maybe even beyond. The next section of this forecast will dig in to this in more detail; you may also want to watch my New Moon video :-) </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is the first New Moon of the year and since <strong>Capricorn</strong> represents the quest for mastery on the physical plane, some useful questions you can ask yourself include: </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">What is my relationship to the physical? Do I respect the laws of matter? Am I going about things in a realistic way? How committed am I really? Where does my inner compass point? What am I willing to undergo to overcome adversity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The highest vibration of <strong>Capricorn</strong> is the development of responsibility, resourcefulness, reliability, self-mastery, the ability to set realistic goals and healthy boundaries. The next 28 days are a perfect time to work on these areas. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, prepare for the future, make commitments and recognize responsibilities -- in other words, nurture your dreams in a realistic manner. Focus on setting and achieving practical and attainable long-term goals, one step at a time, one day at a time -- this is not about immediate results, it\'s about the quality of the foundation you are building.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> also invites us to set the kind of realistic limits and boundaries that allow everyone involved to learn from the consequences of their choices. Where in my life am I able to set realistic limits and boundaries? Where is that an obstacle in your life? What am I afraid of in those moments? What would be the worst of that?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> relates directly to the level of our maturity: We start out on a more instinctual, survival level; this stage is basically fear-based, with a scarcity mentality. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Once we get better at living on the earth plane -- and we understand the rules better -- we transition to goal-oriented ambition and self-challenge, seeking recognition and rewards. This phase is still sometimes fear-based, but already we are taking more responsibility for our part in achieving things, and we are manifesting on the physical plane. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Eventually, as we grow spiritually and learn more about the laws of matter, earthly ambitions are often replaced by some form of spiritual service. We recognize that personal gain is not the only (or even the highest) goal, we see that when we contribute to others, we are also giving to ourselves -- perhaps we also surpass the physical appearance of separation and connect to life in it\'s highest form.</span> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">At this level, we are living in pure accordance with our conscience, from a place of maturity and inner guidance.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: What if I developed 5% more discipline? Integrity? What about 5% more commitment towards something that aligns both with myself and with life itself? What would 100% responsibility for my life look like? What if I responded to situations in a way that respects and serves all those involved? </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">  </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> <em>This New Moon aligns with Venus and Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong> and squares Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>.</em> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">First let\'s focus on the alignment with Venus and Pluto: This conveys an extra-potent message about our perception of physical reality -- time and space -- and about our relationship to love, our values, power or feeling empowered. Ask yourself: If I truly had choice in the matter, what kind of future would I choose to step into? Who would I choose to connect with? Why? Who would I not choose to connect with? Why not?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Venus in conjunction with the New Moon</em> advises us to choose wisely and from the heart. Ask yourself: Am I true to myself? Am I working too hard without making enough progress? Am I expressing my feelings truthfully? Or hiding my true feelings from others? Am I in touch with what\'s important to me -- especially in regards to relationships? Am I happy? Could I love and respect myself and life 5% more?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">With this many planets in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, it is important for us to take breaks — or simply slow down and allow ourselves to tune in. It’s important to explore ways to stay heart-centered and grounded -- seek tools or people to help you with that exploration. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Now let\'s talk about <em>the square to Uranus</em> -- the energy of freedom, innovation and reform. This combo focuses our attention on the right use of power -- which respects the rights, needs, and gifts of all beings. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: Where do I need to be more courageous? Where do I need to \"think different\"? What if I became 5% more aware of my personal power? Where might I have given it away to others? And how might I begin to reclaim it? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Remember that change is not always progress. Consider all options first and then respond, rather than reacting; stay flexible and be willing to entertain new possibilities. What if -- in small or large ways -- I could help birth a new age, and with it a new world, one based on heart-centered consciousness and individual freedoms?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>The New Moon also sextiles Mars in <strong>Scorpio</strong> and Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong></em>. This is an opportunity to heal our collective wounds around any sense of spiritual disconnection in our world of accomplishments. We get a chance to connect more deeply with others and bring a powerful approach to what we are building and working towards. Our actions tend to be in greater alignment with our deepest desires.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: What if I could be both productive <em>and</em> gentle with myself at the same time? What would a compassionate approach make possible? What is pushing or pulling at me? How could my actions become a source of empowerment? What if I allowed all actions to flow from a deep sense of authentic connectedness? What if I forgave myself and others for having flaws or limitations?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Given that it rules <strong>Capricorn</strong>, <em>Saturn\'s placement in its own sign</em> plays an important role with this New Moon -- and if you\'d like to know how Saturn\'s journey in <strong>Capricorn</strong> will impact you personally over the next three years, feel free to check out my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, available for purchase <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-recorded-webinars/\">on my website</a> (or check out a<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/5067/\"> 30-minute excerpt for free :-)</a></span>\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Saturn conjuncts Mercury while in <strong>Capricorn</strong></em>. This reminds us of the power of our mind -- that our thoughts and words matter. What am I doing, career-wise? What is the long-term plan? How can I honor and share those goals with others in a clear and honest way? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">It\'s time to think seriously about what no longer works. As best as you can, investigate your thought processes: What no longer feels useful in my approach? What if I got real about that? What might be possible if I took 5% more responsibility for my inner dialog, and the energy those thoughts disperse?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>To sum all of this up:</strong> We are invited to become mature, responsible planetary citizens, while honoring our individuality -- in other words, making a difference, one by one -- even when it seems as though we are too little to create a big shift on our own. No matter how small an action may seem, every pebble makes a ripple...</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This cosmic combo also directs our attention to our bottom lines. What matters most to me? What are my priorities? Am I living my truth, and thus loving my goals? Where is it best to be flexible, and where must I remain focused and in alignment with my commitments? When have I felt the happiest? What if I committed 5% more to the things, people and places in my life that make me happy? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Inner strength and self-reliance come almost entirely from adversity; obstacles are the part of life that show us where we have an opportunity to become more capable and where we have drifted from contact with outer reality or inner truth. Am I on the right track, as best as I can tell? Am I walking my own path? Or someone else\'s? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">What obstacles can I see or sense from here? What if there was value in those obstacles? Could I send them gratitude for being given the opportunity to get back into greater alignment with myself and reality?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Choose wisely for 2018 and beyond. Participate consciously in the evolution of existence on this planet, not from fear, but from knowledge of your inner strength and personal power -- the power of your heart and your humanity! Trust your inner truth!</span>\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are also about to enter Eclipse season, as the first of two Eclipses becomes exact on Jan. 31st; I\'ll be talking more about this in my next Monthly Forecasting Forum on Feb. 3rd.

We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">But... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">It\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days. </span> <b></b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Friday evening, </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an opportune Mercury/Neptune aspect </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">becomes exact at 8:08pm EST.</span><b> We started to feel this aspect from Thursday morning on; it will remain strong until Saturday night.</b></span> <span style=\"color: #000000;\">This aspect gives us the opportunity to bring compassion and an intuitive approach to our thinking process. Having faith and connecting to our Higher Selves will be of service to us at this time. Any artistic or spiritual endeavors are likely to do well at this time. Music might help us with our thinking process and ability to get things done. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Let yourself be inspired! A book, a song, a movie, someone else\'s words… allow the Universe to speak to you. Open your mind to a higher vibration -- and remember, opportunities are openings... they aren\'t necessarily handed to us... we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.

If possible, try to defer any major brand-new projects until after Feb. 25th, when this Eclipse season is over. If something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic… allow it to be.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Another Eclipse-related phenomenon: not only do Eclipses bring up uncertainty in us, they might also leave us nervous, anxious, unsettled and disoriented.

The energy of the Aries Moon bears on starting something new.\r\n\r\nOur gut impulses are strong; we feel energetic, spontaneous, enthusiastic and brave -- and perhaps impatient and impulsive. Excess energy is best channeled into physical activity.\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Monday</strong>, it\'s <em>time to actions on our New Moon intentions</em>: if you set Intentions Tuesday night, Wednesday or Thursday of last week -- after the New Moon became exact -- today will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively.

We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well. In other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-) This Moon placement starts the build up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Wednesday afternoon). <i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon,</strong> <em>a Mercury/Pluto alignment 19.5 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> becomes exact at 3:50pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Monday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday.</strong> With this alignment, an all-or-nothing attitude is very likely. We have tremendous mental focus — which could tip into obsession. Choose love over fear whenever possible. Connect to the things you feel passionate about -- and connect to others, empowering them with your passions. As best as you can, choose your words carefully -- if possible, speak from that deeply connected and empowered place.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 16-23 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Aries, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more connected to this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday early evening, at 5:20pm EST</strong>, <i>the first Quarter Moon in almost 5 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> </i>becomes exact. <b>We started to feel this aspect from the moment the Moon entered Taurus this morning. </b>The Moon, in <i>steady, peaceful, comfort-oriented</i><i> </i><b><i>Taurus,</i></b> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking, rebellious </i><b><i>Aquarius.</i></b>\r\n\r\nWe feel compelled to take action. Last week on Jan. 16th, the New Moon in Capricorn was exact: \"Seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making their first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day interactions with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 3-7 degrees of</i><b><i> Taurus, Aquarius, Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (January 25th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful </em><strong><em>Taurus</em> all day</strong> (see Wednesday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning</strong>,<em> an opportune Mercury/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 6:28am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Tuesday night on; it will remain strong until this Friday</strong>. This aspect is an opportunity for us to expand our thinking and express ourselves with confidence and optimism -- we share what\'s important to us from a place of open-mindedness and excitement.\r\n\r\nThis connection also creates a possibility of expansion via stepping into uncharted territory. Humor can be a great way to tap into this energetic combo. This planetary connection also favors short trips, writing, teaching, studying, and making observations. We more readily exercise good judgment and are more \"philosophical\" and open to learning.\r\n\r\nAgain, as with any opportunity, we have to \"take\" it -- it requires we take action. What could you do that would instill confidence in your exploration of the mind? Is there a new mental process that is asking to be explored?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Capricorn,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Scorpio, Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>?

You may also want to plan Thursday night and Friday morning ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (January 26th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 12:40pm EST</strong> (see Wednesday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 7:56am EST</strong>, <i>Mars changes signs from passionate </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> to adventurous </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until March 17th</strong><b>.</b> With this placement, we are going to feel a little restless, maybe even impatient at times -- we want to explore. This is a great time to get into sports or some athletic activity. We have so many ideas and interests that we can\'t just stick to one thing right now, so we may have several projects running at the same time.\r\n\r\nIt\'s a time when we prefer to improvise and just wing it. That makes it more fun and brings a sense of adventure to our day. We also like to have some good debates with others, persuading them to share our beliefs. It\'s not the best time to get too serious about life, as we prefer to feel free-flowing and excited about new things -- especially when we can learn something new ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more adventurous and probably more impatient. You may want to explore new sports or physical activities. If you are a </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 7 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 12:40pm EST</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday afternoon.</strong><b>.</b> For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way... The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (January 27th)</strong>: <i>the</i> <i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> </i><b>all day</b> (see Friday early afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday morning:</strong> we are asked to connect with others, socialize, and share information with them. Then, <strong>in the later morning</strong>, we are required to make some adjustments -- and we may need to do a little stretching and growing, when it comes to our inner or emotional experiences. As best as you can, be gentle with yourself and others, seek to understand before seeking to be understood.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday night</strong>/Sunday very early morning, <em>a challenging Mercury/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:08am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Friday morning on; it will remain strong until next week Monday night (Jan. 29th). </strong>This aspect creates some tension in our lives: We may feel anxious or stressed by a situation or an interaction with business, or something to do with our career or long-term goals.\r\n\r\nWe\'ll likely want to think outside the box. We may also want to bring some changes to a life situation or long-term goal that no longer fits. Again: We are being called to play a bigger game and may feel overwhelmed by what it all means.\r\n\r\nOur minds may prefer things to be “squared away”, traditional or established, yet at the same time be possessed by a great urge for progress and breakthroughs — and this could leave us feeling irritable — the best way to manage this is to channel some of that nervous, irritable energy into constructive pursuits.\r\n\r\nSince there\'s a tendency right now to challenge established thought, or play devil\'s advocate, it also helps to get in touch with our inner truth. Use breath to turn any fear into excitement -- and let yourself drop into your heart.\r\n\r\nExpect the unexpected, plan on disruption, revelation and breakthroughs -- during this transit, the best mind is an open mind. As best as you can, go with the flow, staying open to the new and unexpectedly different. Could you allow whatever is happening to stimulate new approaches?\r\n\r\nAs you can perhaps imagine, this is not a time to make major decisions, especially if they are hasty ;-) You can think of this as \"reorganizing\" time for the mind, like moving your furniture around.  If you feel yourself resisting the reshuffle, do your best to relax -- and maybe even sit back and enjoy the show.\r\n\r\nAnd as always, if all else fails, take it one moment at a time... Rather than jumping to conclusions, get grounded in the here and now — bringing awareness to your breath (or body) is a good way to do this.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in </i><em>22-28 degrees</em><i> of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Aries, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Uranus rules Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (January 28th):</strong> <i>the</i> <i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> <strong>until 1:57pm EST</strong> (see Friday early afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 5:39am EST,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 8 hours,<strong> until 1:57pm EST.</strong> If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday morning until early afternoon ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday afternoon,</strong> <em>an opportune Mercury/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:50pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Saturday morning on; it will remain strong until Monday evening (Jan. 29th) . </strong>We have an opportunity to bring healing energy to our concrete mind and to our thoughts. We also have a chance to heal insecurities in our verbal, in-person, or email interactions.\r\n\r\nWe are better able now to tune out that automatic/critical inner voice, in favor of more loving and compassionate structures for thinking and communicating. By bringing love and understanding to our thinking processes, we have a chance to move beyond entrenched habits, like \"pushing ourselves\" or dreaming up catastrophic futures.\r\n\r\nHere’s a few good “chew toys” for your mind at this time: What was your family\'s attitude towards career? Long-term goals in general? What if you tried a gentler approach for a bit? Does your inner dialog really have to repeat what they said when you were 5 years old? What if you used a gentler voice for the next ten minutes or so?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 23-28 degrees of</i> <b><i>Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>?</i> <i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b> <i>(Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 1:57pm EST</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Tuesday afternoon (Jan. 30th)</strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, otherwise you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (Jan. 29th):</strong> <i>the</i> <i>Moon remains</i> <i>in</i> <i>protective, introverted </i><b><i>Cancer </i>all day</b> (see Sunday afternoon for details). More about all the details in next week’s forecast ;-)\r\n<h3>One Last Announcement:</h3>\r\nJoin me for my next FORECASTING FORUM, <strong>Saturday, Feb. 3rd, 2018 at</strong> 11am PST/ <strong>2pm EST</strong>/7pm GMT (London-time). <strong>Please note </strong>that we will be talking about the<strong> upcoming Eclipses: Lunar Eclipse/SuperMoon in Leo </strong>and<strong> Solar Eclipse in Aquarius.</strong>\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how to align yourself with these these potent energies coming our way, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">To register now, click here: www.AstrologerCoach.com</a>\r\n<h3>Here is a testimonial from one of our participants right after joining our most recent Forum:</h3>\r\n<blockquote><em>\"Sonja\'s Forecasting Forums make Astrology accessible for anyone.

I was quite aware of my obsessive thinking -- I had to give myself lots of permission to allow thoughts to move through awareness, then release them as much as possible -- and this helped me get centered in love again rather than fear. I did my best to live from a place of  \"all is well\" and \"there is no-one to blame\"; this served all my interactions -- especially the ones with myself ;-)\n\n<strong>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement: </strong>\n\nLast chance to sign up for my MONTHLY FORECASTING FORUM, this on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at </b>11am PST/<b>2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time).<b> Please note that we have a Lunar Eclipse in Leo this week, and a Solar Eclipse in Aquarius coming up in mid February!</b>\n\nIf you want to align yourself with these powerful, evolutionary Lunations and further your Soul\'s journey, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation.\n\nOther than <a href=\"http://goo.gl/D0P2Rk\">booking a reading</a> with me, this is the highest level of support you can get -- and it\'s <strong>still only $24</strong> for the 90+ minute webinar. <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\"><b>To register now, click here </b>http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ</a>\n\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: On Wednesday morning, a powerful Full-Super-Blue-Moon/Lunar Eclipse becomes exact on Wednesday morning and Mercury changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius.\n\nThere will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Tuesday late morning (for a little over 2 hours), Thursday early morning (for a little over 8 hours), and Friday night/Saturday very early morning (for a little over 14.5 hours).\n\n<strong>Monday (January 29th):</strong><em> the Moon remains in <i>protective, nurturing </i><strong>Cancer </strong></em><strong>all day.</strong> It will journey there <b>until Tuesday late evening</b>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\n\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, otherwise you might start to feel drained and resentful.\n\n<b><strong>Monday late</strong> morning</b>, we are in a state of “flow” and emotional connection to others; spiritual and creative endeavors are favored. <i></i>\n\n<b><strong>Monday early afternoon </strong></b>requires some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice, one that demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to connect to like-minded people that share our vision — and on the other hand, the need to nurture ourselves and stay in touch with our feeling body.\n\n<strong>Monday late evening</strong>, we may take an all-or-northing attitude toward others; this could drive some tension or oppositional behaviors... As best you can, remain flexible and practice self-care — take good care of your emotional and physical body -- that way, you\'ll remain able to empower yourself and others.\n\n<strong>Tuesday (January 30th): </strong><em>the Moon remains in <i>protective, nurturing </i><strong>Cancer</strong></em><strong><em> </em>until 1:53pm EST (</strong>see Monday for details).\n\n<strong>Tuesday at 11:40am EST, </strong>we enter a <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 2 hours, <strong>until 1:53pm EST.</strong> </span>Use this intuitive time to find balance between nurturing and self-care, versus achieving your goals. As always during VoC, take it easy -- go with the flow and avoid starting anything brand-new.\n\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan late morning and early afternoon ahead of time :-)\n\n<strong>Tuesday at 1:53pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Thursday afternoon</strong><b>. </b>We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the Lunar Eclipse</i> -- a very powerful Full Moon (exact on Wednesday morning).\n\nWe all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-) So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can.\n\nFun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\n\n<strong>Wednesday (January 31st): </strong><i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><strong>all day </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\n\n<b>Wednesday morning, at 8:27am EST: </b><i>the Moon opposes the Sun</i> <i>in 11.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo</i></b> -- <em>a very powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse</em> becomes exact. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered <em>Leo</em> Tuesday at 1:53pm EST. </strong>\n\nOnce every six months, the Sun, Moon, and Earth finally align precisely enough for a Solar or Lunar Eclipse to occur; Eclipses are always powerfully connected to the Moon Nodes and thus to our Soul\'s Journey. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/powerful-full-supermoon-lunar-eclipse-in-leo-jan-feb-2018/\">If you’d like to learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video</a>.\n\nThis Full Moon is <i>the first of two Eclipses within the next four weeks and it\'s extra-powerful -- firstly</i><i>, because it\'s</i> a <i>SuperMoon -- </i>these occur when the Moon is either Full or New, while at its closest distance to the Earth; they are therefore more powerful. This often means an increase in emotional reactions, plus greater awareness around the issues connected to the particular Full Moon energy in question.\n\nSecondly, as the second Full Moon of this calendar month, it is also a \"<i>Blue Moon\" -- so </i>I think we can go ahead and call it a SuperBlue Moon :-)\n\nGiven that our SuperBlue Full Moon is happening in the <b>Leo</b>/<b>Aquarius</b> polarity, there\'s extra emphasis on increasing awareness of our mind\'s activities, and on opening our heart chakras. As we do this, we can open more to joy, and be more playful.\n\nLunar Eclipses generally direct our attention to our \"emotional body” and our relationships; they also connect us more fully to our Soul’s journey (as shown by the Moon Nodes). This particular Eclipse focuses on the relationship between the individual (<b>Leo</b>) and the collective (<b>Aquarius</b>).\n\nWe become aware of what has been suppressed or ignored -- or, this being a North Node Eclipse, what needs to be embraced, integrated and explored -- in regards to the <b>Leo</b> energy.\n\nIt\'s been 19 years since we experienced a Lunar Eclipse in this degree... Think back to Jan. 31st, 1999: What did I need to open my heart to back then? What became more clear at that time, in regards to exploring joy? Was I able to get in touch with my inner child?\n\nThis is the third Lunar Eclipse in a 23-month cycle of Eclipses, all connected to the <b>Leo/Aquarius</b> polarity; the cycle in question began in February 2017 with a Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b> and will last until Jan. 2019, ending with yet another Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b>.\n\nThink back to February of last year: What started shifting for me, in my attitudes towards the collective (or \"humanity\")? How about like-minded people? Was there likewise a shift in my desire for more joy? Self-expression? Heartfelt actions? If I think back to the last Solar Eclipse in Leo from August 21st, 2017, what has brought the possibility for more joy into my life?\n\nLife-changing revelations are more likely over the next two weeks — and with them, shifts in our consciousness — and the impact of an Eclipse\'s energy also lasts longer than a regular Lunation (anywhere from 6 months to 2 years!)\n\nI will talk about the upcoming Eclipses in more detail in my next Forecasting Forum — if you want to know how the Eclipses are going to impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up, to our own birth charts. The Forum will be live on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time); <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">for more info or to register, click here</a>\n\nThis particular Eclipse focuses on authentic self-expression and creativity. Ask yourself: What might open up if I expressed myself with my heart as my center? With more courage? If I were too much in my head, what would tip me off to that? What might my world look like, if I allowed my light to shine just a little brighter?\n\nWe are also invited to allow head and heart to merge, bringing about a brighter future for humankind -- what would it look like if I allowed that merger? What if I chose, right here and now, to contribute to humanity from a courageous, heart-centered and authentic place? What if I simply chose that, right now?\n\n<b>Leo</b> represents our individual expression, the kind of light we came to shine, joy we came to spread. <b>Leo</b> is the sign of individual creativity; <b>Aquarius</b> represents the power of collaboration, where the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts. <b>Aquarius</b>, connects us to the complex patterns formed by many coming together<i>.</i>\n\nThis means it\'s important to be especially aware and responsible when connecting with others. As best as you can, get present and ask yourself: What am I bringing forth? What are my intentions? What is in my heart that longs to be expressed? Do I have the courage to stand in my authentic self-expression?\n\nIf we want to see a greater shift in the world at large (an Aquarian concern), we must each do our own part and express our unique gifts (Leo’s imperative). That said, if we don\'t come from the heart -- or if we get stuck over-thinking things and/or being overly concerned with what other people are thinking -- we will not be able to fulfill on that vision.\n\n<i>The Moon in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> makes a Quincunx to Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>. </i>This might bring some internal discomfort; we need to make inner adjustments here. It nudges us to tune into our intuition, and create from a place of love rather than fear.\n\nAsk yourself: What if it were possible to get really in tune with my intuitive feeling body <i>and</i> express myself fully, with courage and without compromise? Might an introverted approach like that serve my extroverted, unique expression of Self? How can I transform lower vibrational feelings? For example, how might I transform fear into love? What approach might support such a transformation?\n\n<i>The Sun (ruler of Leo) in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> conjoins the South Node and Venus in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>. </i>This reminds us that each one of us has an electromagnetic field, and are an integral part of a much larger field, where our thoughts, growth, and actions interweave and affect the course of humanity. Together, we are exponentially more powerful.\n\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) is currently in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>. It\'s making a Square to Pluto and Mercury in </i><b><i>Capricorn.</i></b><i> </i>We are invited to be more honest with ourselves and others (especially about our fears and desires), and to pay attention to our thinking patterns, especially in regards to achieving things out there in the world.\n\nIn fact, you could say we are being invited to bring an innovative approach to who we are \"out there in the world\" -- and to our interactions with others… In other words: To step it up -- and walk our unique path. To inspire others. Life is too short to waste on things we are less than fully passionate about, that don\'t fully express our uniqueness.\n\nAsk yourself: What is being radically transformed in my life? Where am I being invited to confront outdated thought-forms? What\'s the relationship between my inner teenager and my inner adult?\n\nPluto represents the courage it takes to face our shadows and fears -- and if we can do that, we can discover our true motivations, desires -- and our true power. What do I get obsessed about? What scares me the most, when it comes to fully committing to things I feel passionate about?\n\nTake a look back at situations that felt disempowering -- and at situations that evoked some sort of helpless fury. When in the past have I given my power away to others, especially authority figures? Was it really about me? What did I choose in that moment?\n\n<i>Saturn (the traditional ruler of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>) currently in its own sign. </i>Here is a quote that fits really beautifully with this energy: <i>\"The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift of life is yours—it’s an amazing journey, and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. Your journey is determined by the choices you make. Your answers are determined by the questions you ask. Your destination is determined by the steps you take. Your future is determined by what you do today.\"</i> -- Dan Zadra\n\nWe are also encouraged during this Full Moon to acknowledge that we are all in this together, and that each one of us has the ability to effect change by tapping into our courage, and living our vision in every moment -- and this takes dropping into our hearts more fully.\n\nFor this <i>Full SuperBlue Moon/Lunar Eclipse</i> you could ask yourself these questions too: How might I learn about self-love? What if I chose to love the world as if it was a reflection of my heart and soul? What if I did that while expressing my unique soul-self, my unique spirit? Where do the inner and the outer experiences of love and connectedness meet?\n\nFlexibility, thinking outside the box, and self-care are critical during Eclipse season! Self-care is particularly important in times of stress and/or change — basic things, like making sure that we eat healthily and regularly, drink plenty of water, exercise, get plentiful rest -- and allow affection in from friends, family, or pets. Connecting to what feels supportive in order to stay grounded and regenerate ourselves can be very helpful as well.\n\nThere are so many more aspects we could talk about with this Lunar Eclipse chart, I\'d need an hour-and-a-half to cover it all — and that\'s just what I\'ll be doing during the 90-minute Monthly Forecasting Forum on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time)<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">click here to register</a> :-)\n\nThis <i>Lunar Eclipse</i> shows us that there is always work to be done -- and there\'s no need to get overwhelmed by that, because we all have the power to do it. All we have to do is look into our own heart and see the strength and love lying there. Ask yourself: Where could I be the voice? Where could I be or become the visionary? What if I accepted that I am the hero/heroine of my story? What is my role at this pivotal time?\n\nRemember: No effort is too small, no step too modest... And most important of all, perhaps: it\'s never too late to be the one who makes a difference -- especially when it comes from the heart and feels authentic!\n\nAs best as you can, trust that you have what it takes to make a difference for yourself and others. <i>And </i><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/powerful-full-supermoon-lunar-eclipse-in-leo-jan-feb-2018/\">if you’d like to learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video</a>.\n\nA final note about Eclipses: they\'re consciousness upgrades, so for 7 - 10 days before and after one, we are usually in uncharted territory -- anything is possible and it\'s wise to expect the unexpected. Anything <i>brand-new</i> started during this time will likely not pan out the way we thought it would, often because important information comes to light only after Eclipse season is over.\n\nFor that reason, try to defer any major brand-new projects until after Feb. 25th, when this particular Eclipse season ends. That said, if something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic, allow it to “be”... Just be wary of the urge to push something forward merely to relieve anxiety or impatience.\n\nAllow for the upgrade to download, staying centered and doing your best to \"ground\" from within -- try using conscious breathing, and regard flexibility as a tool. Best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body…\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point or personal planets in 6-17 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo, Aquarius, Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s Full Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\n\n<strong>Wednesday at 8:39am EST,</strong><strong> </strong><i>Mercury </i><i>leaves practical, cautious, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><i>and moves into</i> <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking, objective </i><b><i>Aquarius.</i></b><b><i> </i></b>It will journey there <b>until February 17th.<i> </i></b>For the next three weeks, we tend to contradict others more quickly, and offer a different perspective. We enjoy intellectual debates. We are quicker and more alert; our powers of observation are particularly strong.\n\nWe have something interesting to say, and our perspective on issues can be delightfully unusual and surprisingly insightful. This makes for some great conversations. We are more attracted to scientific and/or metaphysical pursuits right now. Anything that promises progress and advancement for mankind has special appeal.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel a greater need for focusing on your future and any humanitarian causes. Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will most likely feel more chatty for the next 3 weeks. </i>\n\n<strong>Thursday (February 1st): </strong><i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving</i><strong><em> Leo</em></strong><em> </em><strong>until 2:13pm EST </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\n\n<strong>Thursday at 5:59am EST, </strong>we enter a <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 8 hours, <strong>until 2:13pm EST. </strong></span>During this intuitive time, have fun connecting with others and doing things that bring you joy — explore something different, take a risk.\n\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday morning until early afternoon ahead of time :-)\n\n<strong>Thursday at 2:13pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into detail-oriented, practical</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <strong>until Saturday late afternoon</strong>; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\n\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<b> </b>\n\n<strong>Friday (Feb. 2nd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong><i> </i><b>all day</b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Thursday afternoon for details).\n\n<strong>Friday late morning, </strong>we<strong> </strong>seek a balance between head and heart, facts and faith, reason and intuition. That said, if you can achieve that balance, it’s a great day for being of service.\n\n<strong>Friday early afternoon</strong> calls for some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice. Making this choice demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to engage in humanitarian causes — and on the other hand, the need to  tend to our daily routines.\n\n<b>Friday late evening</b>, we can potentially accomplish quite a bit: The Moon in <b>Virgo</b> makes a harmonious aspect to Pluto in <b>Capricorn</b>. Virgo and Capricorn are Earth signs, so getting down to business and focusing on the task at hand takes less effort than normal. We are able to tackle anything that requires attention to detail and maybe even implement health routines or other systems that support our long-term goals.\n\n<strong>Saturday (February 3rd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><em> </em><strong>until 4:47pm EST </strong>(see Thursday afternoon for details).\n\n<strong>Saturday at 2:07am EST, </strong>we enter a <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 14.5 hours, <strong>until 4:47pm EST. </strong></span>Use this intuitive time to get organized, improve daily routines, and to develop more awareness of how that all fits in with expanding intimate connections with others.\n\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday very early morning until the late afternoon ahead of time :-)\n\n<strong>Saturday late morning, </strong><em>an opportune Mercury/Mars aspect </em>becomes exact at 10:57am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Friday morning on; it will remain strong until Sunday evening. </strong>This aspect provides an opportunity to connect thought to action. Body and mind can align; words and deeds connect with ease. As with any opportunity, we have to \"take\" this one: it will not happen by itself.\n\nWhat actions are calling to you today? How might those actions be connected to other like-minded people... or a vision you have for humanity\'s future?\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <em>3-7 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries)</i>\n\n<strong>Saturday at 4:47pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>, where it will journey<b> <strong>until Monday late afternoon.</strong> </b>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\n\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\n\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\n\n<strong>Sunday (February 4th): </strong><em>t</em><em>he Moon remains in </em><em><i>relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking</i></em><strong><em><i> </i>Libra</em></strong><em> </em><strong>all day </strong>(see Saturday late afternoon for details).\n\n<strong>Sunday very early morning, </strong><em>a challenging Venus/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 1:07am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Thursday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (Feb 6th). </strong>This aspect asks that we question our most fundamental beliefs and conditioning around the visions we value (and the people that share those visions) and how we view our intimate relationships.\n\nWe have the opportunity here to grow beyond our understanding of what our values get us. Issues connected to love, relationships, and whatever is most valuable to us, can seem overwhelming at this time. This is because we have a tendency to overindulge or over-promise.\n\nWe mean well, because we are feeling quite optimistic at this time -- but we may underestimate how much time we actually have, or how good a fit something actually is. Overspending could be connected to this aspect as well (as could making assumptions in our relationships); as best as you can, bring a non-judgmental awareness to any such tendencies.\n\nWhat are you observing about yourself and your relationships with others? What is enough... and what is too much?\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>18-25 degrees</em></i><i> of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\n\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (Feb. 5th): </strong><em>t</em><em>h</em><em>e </em><em>Moon remains in </em><em><i>relationship-oriented</i></em><strong><em><i>, </i></em></strong><em><i>harmony-seeking</i></em><em> <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong><em> </em>until 10:56pm EST (see Saturday late afternoon for details). At 1:46pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 9 hours, <strong>until 10:56pm EST</strong>.  You may want to plan Monday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)<strong> At</strong> <strong>10:56pm EST</strong>, the Moon moves into <strong>Scorpio</strong>, where it will journey <strong>until next week Thursday morning </strong>(Feb. 8th). This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the last Quarter Moon (which, will be exact next week Wednesday -- Feb. 7th). More about all the details in next week’s forecast ;-)<b> </b>\n<h3><b>One Last Announcement:</b></h3>\nJoin me for my next FORECASTING FORUM, <b>Saturday</b>, <b>Feb</b>.<b> 3rd, 2018 at </b>11am<b> </b>PST/<b> 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time).<b> Please note </b>that we will be talking about the upcoming<b> Eclipses: Lunar Eclipse/SuperMoon in Leo </b>and<b> Solar Eclipse in Aquarius.</b>\n\nIf you want to know how to align yourself with these potent energies coming our way, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\"><b>To register now, click here</b></a>\n\n<strong>Here is a testimonial from one of our participants right after joining our most recent Forum:</strong>\n<blockquote><i>\"Sonja\'s Forecasting Forums make Astrology accessible for anyone.

On the one hand, I heard \"relax, enjoy, be with what is\" -- this felt very much connected to Venus in Pisces.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, I was quite aware of my past-based patterns, and I practiced being kind to myself and asking questions, rather than dwell on the patterns themselves -- this felt connected to Jupiter in Scorpio. Of course, the Eclipse on Thursday threw me for a loop -- it took place in my 4th House. This is the area of home and family... And there were definitely some unexpected things going on there that had to be addressed. How are <em>you</em> moving with these energies?\r\n\r\n<b>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement: </b>\r\nI\'m still offering a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\"><b>super-dooper special launch discount</b></a> on site membership.

Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday</strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong> </strong></span><b>morning</b> starts out harmoniously and with an urge to explore something new that helps us understand the bigger picture all around. <em>(<span style=\"color: #800000;\">Moon in <strong>Aries</strong> trines Mars in <strong>Sagittarius</strong> at 10:18am EST -- post at 8am EST)</span></em>\r\n\r\nLater (<b>in the evening</b>), we are invited to make adjustments and find creative solutions around personal desires and needs, versus our deep passion and focus on long-term goals. As best as you can, allow yourself to make space for both; flexibility and adaptability are key if we mean to move forward with our plans and projects... <span style=\"color: #800000;\"><em>(Moon in <strong>Aries</strong> squares Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong> at 8:47pm EST -- post at 6:45pm EST)</em></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (February 20th): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><i>pioneering, fast-paced </i><strong><b><i>Aries</i></b></strong><strong><em> </em>until 2:12pm EST </strong>(see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:11am EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for 8 hours, <strong>until 2:12pm EST. </strong>Use this intuitive time to connect to people that can enthusiastically support your projects and share with them what you have going on.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (February 21st):</strong> <em>t</em><em>he Moon remains in steady, peaceful</em><strong><em> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> </em>all day </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon,</strong> <i>a Venus/Neptune alignment in 13.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> </i>becomes exact at 1:42pm EST. <b>We started to feel this aspect on Monday night, it will be strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Friday night</span></b>. It asks us to dissolve anything that keeps us from opening our hearts more fully. This connection makes us dream of Soul connections with others.\r\n\r\nWe are highly romantic and may turn a blind eye to \"what is\", in pursuit of a fantasy that we want or need to have fulfilled. Beware of anything that sounds too good to be true -- whether that\'s in connection with people or money -- it might indeed be \"too good to be true\" ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">10-17 degrees</span> of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus or Libra</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Mercury/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 3:23pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning on; it will remain strong until this Thursday. </strong>This is an opportunity to take responsibility for our thinking structures and be really honest with ourselves.\r\n\r\nHow can we get the most from this opportunity? As best as you can, allow your intuitive body to guide you. Commit to understanding your conditioning and thinking processes.\r\n\r\nIf we take this chance to see things more clearly and connect to ourselves more lovingly, we could get a good dose of reality, and an ability to focus on long-term issues. Remember: opportunities are openings; they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">5-9 degrees</span> of Capricorn, Scorpio, Pisces or Virgo? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (Feb. 22nd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <b><i>Taurus</i></b></em><strong><em> </em>until 7:07pm EST </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 6:46am EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 12.5 hours, <strong>until 7:07pm EST</strong>. Use this intuitive time to balance your desire for comfort and security with your desire for deeper emotional connections with yourself and others.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Thursday Day</span> ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 7:07pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <strong>until Saturday late evening</strong><b>.</b> For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way...\r\n\r\nThe one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-) This Moon placement starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Friday very early morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (Feb. 23rd):</strong> <em>the </em><i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b></strong>(see Thursday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday very early morning, at 3:09am EST, </strong><i>the first Quarter Moon in <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">4.5 degrees</span> of </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> </i>becomes exact (<b>we <strong>started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered <em>Gemini</em> on Thursday evening</strong>). </b>The Moon in chatty, versatile <b>Gemini</b> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in sensitive, compassionate <b>Pisces.</b>\r\n\r\nLast week (Feb. 15th) saw a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse. If we set some intentions on Feb. 17th, 18th or 19th, we are now ready to make some adjustments. This is a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum -- in fact, we may feel compelled to act, stirring up anxiety or overwhelm, so just go one breath at a time.\r\n\r\nRemember, we\'re still in Eclipse Season until Sunday, and thus don\'t have all the information we need to move brand-new projects forward yet. Allow for changes, remain flexible and adaptable, find creative solutions in day-to-day interactions with others. Allow for new downloads and for the release of “old” codes and conditioning. Simply put: an open mind and heart will serve us best (that\'s true in general, but especially true until Feb. 25th ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 2-7 degrees of</i><b><i> Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (February 24th): </strong><em>the </em><i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b></strong><strong><em> </em>until 10:06pm EST </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 2:58pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 10:06pm EST. </strong>Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon sextiles Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 10:06pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Monday late evening (Feb. 26th)</strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday night, </strong><em> </em><i>Jupiter starts to slow down (station) as it reaches 23 degrees of </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Scorpio</strong><i>, preparing for its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. </i>Jupiter will come to a halt on March 8th;<i> </i>its <i>station-phase</i> last <b>until March 20th.</b> We will feel its energy more forcefully during the station-phase.\r\n\r\nWe start to be more fully aware of Jupiter\'s energy; this awareness helps us to get more connected to those energies within us. We get to see where we need to embrace them more fully, so that we can use them in a healthy way, without getting lost in the lower vibrations of their expression.\r\n\r\n<b>Until March 20th</b>, we have to face what this planet is trying to communicate to us: Jupiter represents our desire to seek insight via the gaining of knowledge. Some of this planet\'s keywords: morality, gratitude, hope, honor, law. Jupiter is the planet of possibility, optimism, and growth (including mental and spiritual growth). Jupiter is also associated with a sense of humor, goodwill, and mercy.\r\n\r\nThe lower expressions of Jupiter include \"Oh, the heck with it\", \"I deserve this and more\", \"the rules do not apply to me\" -- generally speaking: too much of a good thing, blind optimism, excess, stretching the truth, overindulgence.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">21-25 degrees</span> of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Taurus, Leo or Aquarius</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this station phase. This is also true for those of us who have our</i><i> or Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter rules Sagittarius, so Sagittarius will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (February 25th): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><em><i>protective, nurturing</i></em><strong><em><i> </i>Cancer </em>all day </strong>(see Saturday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Venus/Mars aspect </em>becomes exact at 7:01am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday night (Feb. 27th). </strong>This aspect asks that we stretch ourselves with regard to the feminine/masculine dynamic as it manifests both “inside” and “outside”: A shift needs to occur.\r\n\r\nThis can show up in several ways, either through romantic and sexual tensions that we might experience with others. We may tease each other, flirt with each other and/or play hard to get. Or we may find ourselves arguing in a very passionate way with the opposite sex. Competitiveness, anger, frustration, or angst might be present. Either way, this can be a very passionate time.\r\n\r\nBalancing and integrating masculine and feminine energies within ourselves would be very useful at this time.\r\n\r\nIf we experience these energies internally, there may be a desire for adventure -- or just for being still and \"adventuring\" into ourselves, our heart-space, our inner universe. The challenge might be that we feel pulled in two directions -- on the one hand, we want to feel \"one\" with others and connect to them through love and kindness. On the other hand, we want to be free and explore something new, outside of our familiar environment.\r\n\r\nWhat might it look like, if you made room for both of these energies?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in 15-22 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra or Aries</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars is the ruler of Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Neptune alignment in 13.5 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:26am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Monday night (Feb. 26th). </strong>This aspect could take our connection to our intuition even deeper -- if we can allow it.\r\n\r\nSpiritual and creative endeavors are highly recommended during this time -- especially those involving music or creative writing. This is definitely a highly imaginative time. As best as you can, go with the flow and -- just for now -- let go of wanting to figure it all out.\r\n\r\nThe highest vibration of this aspect is idealistic, highly intuitive and romantic; on a lower level vibration, we might not see reality clearly and we might easily feel overwhelmed. We might get confused or disappointed; things might seem a little foggy, especially when it comes to communication, processing information, public transportation or daily traffic.\r\n\r\nCheck in with others before signing any documents or making long-term decisions for those three days: get reality checks! As best as you can, let go and let flow ;-) On the other hand, trust the divine timing of things and have faith that everything will turn out exactly as it needs to.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of  </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Sun/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 12:46pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (Feb. 27th). </strong>This aspect provides an opportunity to become aware of what needs to happen if we are to accomplish something concrete.\r\n\r\nWe have common sense at our disposal; we are willing to look reality in the eye and take responsibility for our life and how we live it. This is an opportunity to be more aware of our heart connection to the divine and to our intuitive selves -- and how it can benefit us both in terms of long-term goals, and in what we are focused on in the here and now. Again, remember: opportunities are openings, they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 5-9 degrees</i><b><i> </i></b><i>of </i><b><i>Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.

So much going on...\n\nFirstly, the Moon remains in relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking Libra all day. It will journey there until Tuesday afternoon, where it will help us be naturally courteous and diplomatic -- we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\n\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\n\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the last Quarter Moon (which, will be exact Monday early evening...)\n\nMonday morning, an opportune Sun/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 7:07am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday. We might want to take advantage of the opportunities this aspect provides -- it\'s an excellent time for creating deeper intimate connections, resolving conflicts with others, having fun and boosting our self-confidence. In fact, we may well feel particularly vital and confident -- and inner optimism can bring rewards.\n\nHumor can be a big part of this aspect too: We are able to laugh whole-heartedly, and see nothing but possibility in our lives, especially in our intimate relationships and our shared resources with others. This could bring a healthy shift of attitude toward our relationships -- whether personal or business.\n\nImagine you have a special lens which showed you the \"bigger picture\"... What would your relationships look like when you gazed through it?\n\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in 16-20 degrees of Capricorn, Scorpio, Virgo or Pisces? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Sagittarius (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).\n\nMonday late morning, an opportune Venus/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 11:13am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday evening on; it will remain strong until this Tuesday night. We have an opportunity to grow in our social and personal relationships at this time. Humor and caring play a big role in our interactions with others.\n\nWe can call upon tolerance, optimism and co-operation when dealing with loved ones or business relationships now. Financially speaking, things are \"on the up\"; we may have opportunities now to expand our pocketbooks -- if we make sound decisions that are in the interest of everyone involved.\n\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-20 degrees of Capricorn, Scorpio, Virgo or Pisces? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Sagittarius (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).\n\nMonday afternoon, an opportune Mars/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 2:59pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Friday evening on; it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. This brings an opportunity to connect our personal passions to our Soul\'s passions. We are resourceful and persistent when pursuing a goal, bringing tremendous effort and focus to bear.\n\nThis is an opportunity to be committed, determined and passionate, with no half-measures; it\'s also an opportunity to feel more confident about our own talents. Strategic thinking and execution is favored right now, as is eliminating waste around time and energy. Remember though: An \"opportunity\" is just an opening, it\'s not automatically granted -- we have to \"step up\" to the opening, then through it...\n\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-21 degrees of Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces  or Virgo? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aries or Scorpio (Mars is the ruler of Aries, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Mars\'s movements and aspects; Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)\n\nMonday early evening, at 5:25pm EST, the last Quarter Moon in 18.5 degrees of Libra becomes exact. We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Libra Sunday morning. The Moon in relationship-oriented, harmony-loving Libra makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in ambitious, goal-oriented Capricorn.\n\nThis may bring up some challenges. However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed. This Moon phase brings us closer to Jan 16th, which will bring the New Moon in Capricorn.\n\nWith the last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us take a look at what was started around the time of the last New Moon -- in this case, around Dec. 18th. We now have about a week to wrap those projects up. What -- if anything -- needs last-minute adjustments? What did you discover since Dec. 18th? What did it mean for you?\n\nAs best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally or with others).\n\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-21 degrees of Libra, Capricorn, Aries or Cancer? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s last Quarter Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer, since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer.\n\n<strong>Tuesday (Jan. 9th)</strong> is just as busy as Monday -- astrologically speaking: the Moon remains in relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking Libra until 3:05pm EST (see Monday for details).\n\nTuesday very early morning, a Sun/Venus alignment in almost 20 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 2:02am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday (Jan. 6th) night on; it will remain strong until this Friday night.  We are motivated to strike a balance in our relationships and our career environment. If you have negotiations going on at this time, it’s very likely they will go smoothly.\n\nGraciousness, diplomacy, charm, and a healthy dose of realism: This is a good period for social affairs, pleasure, amusement, and romance, especially if it\'s about building something concrete and long-term, something traditional or something connected to status and expertise.\n\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 17-23 degrees of Capricorn, Aries, Libra or Cancer? If so, you may be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Leo (the Sun rules Leo; Venus rules Taurus and Libra)\n\nTuesday early morning, a Venus/Pluto alignment in 19 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 4:03am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday (Jan. 6th) evening on; it will remain strong until this Thursday. This alignment brings out our passionate side. We uncompromisingly seek deep, totally authentic connections with others.\n\nOur instincts are very strong right now, our inner wolf is wide-awake, and we can sniff out any unclean intentions right away. As best as you can, be completely truthful about your motivations and needs – if you try to duck this, it could get ugly, since everyone knows what everyone else is up to anyway.\n\nWhat if you took 100% responsibility for getting what you want and need? What is the highest path to achieve that? As best as you can, find creative solutions and remain flexible. And as always when Pluto is involved, choose the power of love over the power of fear -- whenever possible.\n\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 16-22 degrees of Capricorn, Aries, Cancer or Libra? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Scorpio (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Pluto rules Scorpio)\n\nTuesday early morning, a Sun/Pluto alignment in 19 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 4:33am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday (Jan. 6th) morning on; it will remain strong until this Thursday night. This alignment asks of us that we reclaim our authority and make some fundamental changes in our world.\n\nSome of the structures that we built in the past may no longer be solid; they must fall now, to be replaced with something that empowers us. It is necessary to redefine feminine and masculine “powers”. What do you need to acknowledge or embrace? What is rejected or ignored? If you truly had choice in the matter, what kind of future would you want to step into?\n\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 16-22 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries or Libra? If so, you may be more affected by this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Scorpio (the Sun is the ruler of Leo; Pluto rules Scorpio)\n\nTuesday at 11:13am EST, we enter a Moon void of course (VoC). that lasts for almost 4 hours, until 3:05pm EST. Use this intuitive time to collaborate with others and share your life philosophy. As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday (late morning until the mid-afternoon) ahead of time ;-) (Moon sextiles Mercury in Sagittarius)\n\nTuesday at 3:05pm EST, the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio, where it will journey until Thursday late morning. We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\n\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\n\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s therefore an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\n\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can therefore be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\n\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so as best you can, be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\n\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\n\nTuesday late afternoon, an opportune Venus/Mars aspect becomes exact at 4:08pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday (Jan. 6th) night on; it will remain strong until this Friday evening.  This aspect helps intimate or business relationships along, bringing passion and/or sexiness to them -- and if we\'re not in a long-term committed relationship, we\'ll get some help in forming one.\n\nThis could also be a good time for financial ventures, social life, artistic pursuits, and pleasure in general. Remember: this is an \"opportunity\" -- those aren\'t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.\n\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in 18-22 degrees of Capricorn, Scorpio, Pisces or Virgo? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Aries (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars is the ruler of Aries)\n\n<strong>Wednesday (Jan. 10th)</strong>: the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio all day (see Tuesday afternoon for details).\n\nWednesday very early morning, an opportune Sun/Mars aspect becomes exact at 12:36am EST. We started to feel this aspect from Monday on; it will remain strong until this Friday. Many of us feel an inner joy now -- when planning and achieving; now is a good time to link this to our intuition and instincts.\n\nOur self-confidence and self-esteem can get a boost: we feel we can meet life on life\'s terms and stand up for ourselves (and our point of view) without becoming hostile or confrontational.\n\nWe have to “take” opportunities, and this one is no exception: It requires we take action. What if there was a single, really simple action step, that would feel almost effortless?\n\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of Capricorn, Scorpio, Pisces or Virgo? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Aries (the Sun rules Leo; Mars is the ruler of Aries)\n\nWednesday at 11:40am EST, Mercury\'s Shadow Phase ends. As you may recall, on Dec. 22nd, when Mercury stationed direct, I mentioned Mercury shadow phases as well: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it\'s best to avoid the periods shortly before and after Mercury goes retrograde. This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.)\n\nThe good news is, this shadow phase ends today, when Mercury reaches 29º18\' of Sagittarius. This means that we can finally go ahead and book those plane tickets -- or buy that new car or iPhone (or anything else communication- or transportation-related). We can also more easily take in new information, so teaching, sharing and learning will be more effective. Click here to read my blog on the subject.\n\n<strong>Thursday (Jan. 11th)</strong>: the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio all day (see Tuesday afternoon for details).\n\nWednesday night/Thursday very early morning, at 12:09am EST, Mercury changes signs from optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius to practical, accomplishment-oriented, status-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Jan. 31st.\n\nThis is a time when our minds like to make concrete plans for the future. A systematic, practical approach to reaching our goals is now favored; we are good at focusing on practical matters and getting down to the essentials.\n\nWe do not waste any words at this time -- what we say is truthful and to the point. We see reality very clearly now -- and it might not look as rosy as we thought. As best as you can, use this time to get in touch with what\'s real in your life -- without going down the \"rabbit hole\" of pessimistic inadequacy ;-)\n\nDo you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini or Virgo? If so, you will be more serious and possible more eager to accomplish concrete goals. Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in Capricorn? If so, you will most likely feel more chatty for the next 3 weeks.\n\nThursday at 9:53am EST, we enter a Moon void of course (VoC). that lasts for a little over 16 hours, until Friday (Jan. 12th) at 2:04am EST. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others on an authentic level. What if you let yourself trust others in the mutual pursuit of realistic, practical goals?\n\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday (late morning, all the way through the night) ahead of time ;-) (Moon sextiles Venus in Capricorn)\n\n<strong>Friday (Jan. 12th):</strong> the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio and VoC until 2:04am EST (see Tuesday afternoon for details).\n\nFriday at 2:04am EST, the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius, where it will journey until Sunday afternoon. We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\n\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence, which means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, than take orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\n\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\n\n<strong>Saturday (Jan. 13th)</strong>: the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius all day (see Friday very early morning for details).\n\nSaturday very early morning, a Mercury/Saturn alignment in almost 3 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 2:03am EST. We started to feel this aspect from Wednesday evening on; it will remain strong until Monday (Jan. 15th). This connection strengthens our ability to make realistic decisions connected to our need for achievement and mastery. We are more able to come from a place of integrity and maturity when planning anything long-term.\n\nWe prefer to have serious conversations with others that move us forward, closer to a common goal. It\'s an excellent period for reviewing, reassessing, perfecting, and improving our thinking patterns, long-term goals, and path towards mastery. Even though we might have a more negative or critical outlook initially, this alignment serves the purpose of reaching a balanced, mature, and realistic state.\n\nDue to Mercury\'s retrograde phase, we have already experienced this aspect several times over the past 7 weeks -- making this alignment more important this time around. Think back to Nov. 28th and Dec. 6th, 2017. In what ways did you need to slow down and take a more serious look at a situation in your life?\n\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in 0-6 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries or Libra? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo or Capricorn (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).\n\nSaturday very early morning, around 2am EST, the Balsamic Moon phase begins when the Moon reaches 12º of Sagittarius. This lasts until Tuesday evening, when the New Moon in Capricorn becomes exact (more on that next week...however, feel free to watch my video on the subject -- will be posted by Friday, Jan. 12th).\n\nWe are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our inner sensing/intuition. For some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes.\n\nThis is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?\n\nSaturday early afternoon, a challenging Venus/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 2:09pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from Wednesday night on; it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening (Jan. 15th). This \"stretch aspect\" asks us to grow beyond what we know and have experienced in the past in regards to our relationships, especially business relations.\n\nPriorities may shift. We may experience clashes of taste or values with business partners; as you can imagine, we may feel some instability or restlessness in connection to others. We may also struggle with freedom versus material safety -- the latter manifesting as fears around financial goals.\n\nAs best as you can, take a deep breath and hold off on decision-making with regards to finances -- in particular, it is best to avoid impulse buys at this time.\n\nIn general, expect the unexpected: Things may take a different turn when it comes to the truly important. Keep your mind and heart open: if something demands elimination or change, it was waiting for that shift to happen anyway. As best as you can, find creative solutions and stay flexible and adaptable. This is not the best time to take things too personally (but then again, is there ever a good time for that? :-)\n\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 21-28 degrees of Capricorn, Aries, Libra, or Cancer? If so, you may be more affected by this aspect. The same is true for those with their Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Aquarius (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Uranus rules Aquarius)\n\nSaturday late evening, an opportune Venus/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 9:52pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from this Friday on; it will remain strong until next week, Monday (Jan. 15th) . It\'s an opportunity to bring healing to our wounds around relationships or our sense of self-worth.\n\nWe get a chance to love ourselves and heal deep fears of not being \"good enough\". Healing happens much faster when we can open to forgiving ourselves and others. As best as you can, bring compassion and understanding to yourself, to others, and to those past experiences that wounded you.\n\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of Capricorn, Pisces, Scorpio or Taurus? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus or Libra (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra)\n\n<strong>Sunday (Jan. 14th):</strong> the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius until 2:42pm EST (see Friday very early morning for details).\n\nSunday at 3:48am EST, we enter a Moon void of course (VoC). that lasts for almost 11 hours, until 2:42pm EST. This intuitive time could serve as an opportunity to connect to like-minded people and learn something new about your unique self. How wide could your vision for humanity become?\n\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday (until the mid-afternoon) ahead of time ;-) (Moon trines Uranus in Aries)\n\nSunday at 2:42pm EST, the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Wednesday very early morning (Jan. 17th). We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\n\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\n\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\n\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\n\nAs best as you can, be truthful with yourself about where you are at: Do you actually have a realistic view about what is so, right now, in your life? Not what you wish it to be or what you would like it to be or where you see yourself going.... What is so right now? Once you know where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\", whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\n\nSunday afternoon, a challenging Sun/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 3:45pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from Friday evening on; it will remain strong until next Wednesday (Jan. 17th).  Disrupted routines and plans, especially around career and business, are quite likely; this calls for flexibility and creative solutions.\n\nDuring this transit, we feel a great need to make progress, as we feel quite restless -- maybe even anxious -- but if we\'re unclear on what actions are in our best interest, we might act in ways that don\'t serve us in the long run.\n\nAs best as you can, go with the flow and stay open to experiencing something new and wonderfully unexpected; if you can, put off making major decisions for the time being... \"haste makes waste\" during this aspect ;-)\n\nYou can think of this as \"reorganizing\" time -- like rearranging your furniture -- try not to resist the reorganization. Enjoy the ride… and remember: it only feels uncomfortable because it’s new and different. Could you allow yourself to be comfortable with being uncomfortable?\n\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 21-28 degrees of Cancer, Aries, Libra, Capricorn or 0-1 degrees Leo, Taurus, Aquarius or Scorpio? If so, you may be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aquarius or Leo (the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius)\n\nAlso on Sunday, Uranus resumes its normal pace through the sky, ending its station. What has come up in the last four weeks around radical change, personal freedom, and needing to individuate? How closely are you in touch with your personal vision for life?\n\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (Jan. 15th):</strong> The Moon remains in Capricorn all day (see Sunday afternoon for details). In very early morning, an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 1:59am EST. We started to feel this aspect from Friday night on; it will remain strong until this Tuesday morning. In late evening, a long-term, opportune Jupiter/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 11:13pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from Tuesday (Jan. 3rd) on; it will remain strong until Wednesday (Jan. 31st).

With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, otherwise you might start to feel drained and resentful.<i> </i>This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the Full Moon (exact later that evening). <a href=\"https://youtu.be/_N03uZ8Iq7ss\">Click here to watch my Full Moon video</a>\r\n\r\n<b>Monday evening, at 9:24pm EST,</b><b> </b><i>the Moon opposes the Sun (in 11.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Cancer/Capricorn</i></b><i>). </i>As mentioned above, the entrance of the Moon into<i> </i><b>Cancer </b>(Monday, very early in the morning) began the energetic build up towards this <i>Full Moon</i>.\r\n\r\nThis will be another \"Super\" Full Moon! The Moon is at its closest point to the Earth and therefore the gravitational pull is stronger; we experience this on the physical, emotional and psychic levels.\r\n\r\nRelationships of all kinds are highlighted during this time — but with this Full Moon, there is a particularly strong emphasis on family- and business-relationships.\r\n\r\nWith the Sun in <b>Capricorn </b>for the past 1.5 weeks, we are looking for balance, and are more aware than ever that something needs to be brought back into alignment. The balance we seek is between the <b>Capricorn</b>-<b>Cancer</b> polarity.\r\n\r\n<b>Capricorn</b> teaches us to honor all aspects of the physical world; it also urges us to create and build something of long-term use to everyone. <b>Cancer,</b> on the other hand,<b> </b>represents the formation of the emotional body and an understanding of our feelings and needs; this helps us navigate life by building an awareness of what is healthy or harmful to us.\r\n\r\nIn order to emerge as healthy beings, we need to be able to nurture ourselves and others, in part by taking care of our feelings and our \"inner baby\" (Cancer) — yet we also need to be able to evolve into responsible adults, able to provide for ourselves and others (Capricorn).\r\n\r\n<b>Capricorn</b> asks us to step into our power and mature to the point where we no longer need to look outside of ourselves for approval or validation -- to become the master of our own lives.\r\n\r\nQuestions you can ask yourself: Am I more connected to what nurtures me -- or to my \"shoulds\"? Does my current environment support my inner growth? Does it provide me with nourishing bonds to others?\r\n\r\nYou could say that <b>Cancer</b> is about healthy roots, while <b>Capricorn</b> is about sharing the fruits of our labor -- and both signs represent feminine, receptive energies, that require of us to generate from the inside out.\r\n\r\nAs well as illuminating our path towards greater spiritual alignment, Full Moons illuminate the shadow side of each sign -- for the next two weeks, ask yourself these questions: Am I taking too little or too much responsibility in a particular area of my life? When do I have a tendency to blame, shame or feel guilty? Where do I tend to get defensive? Where do I need to set better boundaries?\r\n\r\nIn order to develop a healthy inner <b>Capricorn</b>, we must learn to listen to our feelings and honor our needs, rather than disregarding them. Only then can we build something of value and move towards mastery.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself (and as best as you can, be really honest with yourself): Where and when do I tend to look for permission outside of myself? In what moments of my life did I abdicate my authority, or project it onto others? How important is status, control or winning to me?\r\n\r\n<b>Cancer</b> seeks to create a sense of home and family, the experience of nourishing bonds, and surroundings that support our growth. Ask yourself: When do I have the tendency to hold on to the past? When do I resist change? What happens when I don\'t allow myself to feel my feelings?\r\n\r\nAs we cultivate our inner life, our soul light builds and radiates out to nurture others; we ultimately discover that our true ‘home’ is actually the light inside our own heart. <a href=\"https://youtu.be/_N03uZ8Iq7ss\">Feel free to also watch Full Moon/SuperMoon video</a>\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon points to <i>several energy patterns</i>:\r\n\r\nThe first one is a <i>Grand Trine in Water</i>, involving the Moon in <b>Cancer</b>, Neptune in <b>Pisces</b>, and Mars/Jupiter in <b>Scorpio</b>. This brings a feminine emphasis towards the flow of compassion, psychic/intuitive sensing, and with it a desire for emotional fulfillment and empowerment within our relationships.\r\n\r\nThis Grand Trine will help us raise our vibrations, if we choose to do so; it will make it easier to embrace shadow issues and redefine them -- we get a chance to bring awareness and acceptance to any places in us that have felt closed off to the public, neglected, ignored.\r\n\r\nSeeking help from trusted support systems or healers during this process is not only recommended, it is also wise if we seek to heal our insecurities and those inner places of disconnect. So… for the next two weeks, ask yourself: What if I listened to myself, nurtured myself, treated myself with the respect, understanding and love I would show my dearest friend? What would I be guided to do? How might others benefit from that?\r\n\r\nThe second of those energy patterns is a<i> </i><i>Stellium in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>: the Sun aligns with Pluto</i><b><i>,</i></b><i> Venus and Saturn</i>. As the third earth sign, Capricorn (at its highest vibration) seeks to create forms that are based on spiritual truths — that all matter is composed of energy, and it is our collective duty to use all energy responsibly.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What am I likely to manifest in my own world, given the energies that are part of my creative process every day?\r\n\r\nWe are being asked to bring conscious awareness to our essence and purpose (Pluto), to our roles, rules, responsibilities and boundaries (Saturn), and finally to our values and how we relate to ourselves and others (Venus).\r\n\r\nThis provides an opportunity to truly align with what brings emotional and material security to our world. As best as you can, focus on dedication, wholeness and truth -- devote yourself to your true passions, to your heart. We are more likely to want to work towards a goal, to achieve things, give form to something in the external world that aligns with those values.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What lies between me and my Authentic Self? Can I actually find any such obstacle if I let go of memories and concepts, and just look here and now?\r\n\r\nIt’s also worth noting: Success and rewards will come in direct proportion to the amount of authentic passion, integrity and maturity we bring to the world. Ask yourself: Where do I need to commit more deeply to what really matters? How authentic am I when it comes to my long-term goals? How passionate? How truthful?\r\n\r\nAnd of course, as always when Cancer and Capricorn are involved: take baby-steps (or if you prefer \"take it one day at a time\" ;-) Ask yourself: Why would I sprint if I can get there at the perfect time by walking? Where does the urge for rushing or \"getting there\" come from? Is it based in fear or love? What if I brought 5% more self-love to every moment while working towards my achievement? Could I do that just by checking in with myself from time to time?\r\n\r\nThe third major energy pattern that this Full Moon points to is the <i>Pluto/Uranus square --</i> which is only 5 degrees apart again, due to Uranus\'s Retrograde motion and station phase at the time of this Full Moon. As mentioned in these forecasts many times since 2011, this square is an invitation for us all to make a giant step forward, both individually and collectively — we are ready for major changes in our own lives and on a global level.\r\n\r\nThis is all about each of us stepping up, stretching ourselves, making a difference, one by one -- we feel a deep inner need to create personal and global change -- we detect shifts in the world at large. Authenticity and individual self-expression are paramount. The meaning of \"Leadership\" is changing: We must all lead now, in our own lives and in the world, for the good of all.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Where could I play a bigger game? Where am I being called to step up?\r\n\r\nThis aspect carries an extra charge, because <i>Uranus stations direct at 24 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> </i><b>on Jan. 2nd, </b>only one day after the Full Moon becomes exact. It’s time to make a real (not merely cosmetic) change in at least one area of our life. Uranus in <b>Aries</b> exhorts us to be bold, think for ourselves, and not be dependent on external approval.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Am I expressing my individuality to the fullest? Am I connecting to a larger vision for my future? Is anything holding me back?\r\n\r\nIf we insist on holding onto a job, relationship, or situation we have outgrown, an unexpected turn of events may force us to go in a new direction. Uranus stationed retrograde on August 3rd at 28.5° of <b>Aries</b>; reflect on the weeks around that date. Ask yourself: What needs to change in my life, small or large? What is asking for a quantum leap?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, be brave enough to step out... This is also a great time to work with your own astrological chart, or seek other ways to elevate your consciousness, create your own reality and experience freedom from within. Ask yourself: Where do I feel the desire to break free? Where have I denied myself permission to be free? Unique? Simply \"myself\"?\r\n\r\nWith this much erratic energy moving through our bodies, we are best off staying in movement and \"shaking it out\". Flexibility, Courage, Self-Empowerment: these are the watchwords! Remember: what you do for you, you do for everyone… and what you do for everyone, you do for you!\r\n\r\n<i>Mars</i>, the archetype of desire and courage, willpower and assertion,<i> is in almost 15 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> and is squaring the Moon Nodes</i>, just as Jupiter did at the last Lunation.\r\n\r\nSquares mark turning points -- and this one is a turning point in our collective, spiritual journey. It\'s asking us to find a balance between feminine and masculine energies — when we look at this, taking Scorpio into account, we can see that we are actually being invited to transform our inner masculine. Ask yourself: What does assertiveness look like when fear is not present? How can we use our masculine energies in a empowering way?\r\n\r\nIn order to get to a place of greater joy on an individual and collective level, one where we truly feel grateful for our lives, we need to first transform our approach towards passion, assertion, and leadership.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What does true leadership mean to me? Where might I locate this energy within me? If I found it, what might I do with it? What small (or large) steps could I take to empower myself and others in my various communities?\r\n\r\nDuring this time of change and transformation, self-care is definitely worth our attention… Make sure you get plenty of rest, affection, water and healthy nutritious foods ;-)\r\n\r\nTo sum it all up: Tap into your inner courage. Honor your feelings and needs, so you can build something of value -- and share the fruits of your labor with the world.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What might the balance lie between nurturing and self-care, versus achieving my goals? Am I doing what I want to do, or what I think I should do? As best as you can, be kind and gentle, compassionate, and accepting of yourself -- this will help balance the Cancer/Capricorn polarities.  <a href=\"http://www.dev2.astrologercoach.com/full-moon/\">Again, feel free to also watch Full Moon/SuperMoon video</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 9-14 degrees of </i><b><i>Cancer, Capricorn, Aries</i></b><i> and </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s Full Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday (Jan. 2nd)</b>: <i>the Moon remains in protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i> </i><b>all day</b> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday early morning, </b><i>an opportune Sun/Neptune aspect </i>becomes exact at 4:37am EST.<b> We started to feel this aspect from last Sunday on; it will remain strong until this Thursday. </b>This aspect is an opportunity both to dissolve what no longer serves us, and to connect to our intuition. We definitely feel inspired. It’s also a great time to bring a sense of flow and faith to long-term plans.\r\n\r\nOur capacity for compassion (both toward ourselves and others) is quite strong, especially if we are able to acknowledge it. Dreams and reality find a way to work together now -- any spiritual or creative endeavors that are started during this time will most likely do very well -- and it feels great to donate time or money to favored causes.\r\n\r\nRemember that this is an \"opportunity\" -- it isn\'t just handed to us, we have to make it happen.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-14 degrees of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday morning</b>, <b>at 9:13am EST,</b> <i>Uranus comes to a halt in 24.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b>, turning direct again after its 5-month retrograde phase. We\'ve had 5 months to reevaluate certain things: goals, group causes, issues around freedom. We\'ve also reflected on our vision for the future, and where the obstacles to that vision might lie.\r\n\r\nWe are now ready to take into the world all that we have learned and make some progress. Uranus will be back to its usual speed by Jan. 14th; at that point you could say its “Change or be changed” -- change is inevitable, so it might as well be change you’ve chosen consciously. Note that Uranus also rules electronics, technology and the internet; these may all be influenced by the planet\'s slower movement.\r\n\r\n<i>Is your Sun sign or Ascendant in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>? Or do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 22-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Libra, Capricorn</i></b><i> or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel more connected to the Uranus station.</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday at 5:46pm EST, </b>we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 8.5 hours, <b>until 2:23am EST (Wednesday very early morning)</b>. Use this intuitive time to make adjustments and (as best as you can) find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. Make space both for going after your vision and for taking care of emotional or family issues.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday evening and night ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday (Jan. 3rd): </b><i>the Moon remains in protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i> </i>and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">VoC</a><i> </i><b>until 2:23am EST</b> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday at 2:23am EST</b>, <i>the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <b>until Friday very early morning</b><b>. </b>We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising.\r\n\r\nWe all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-) So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can.\r\n\r\nFun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday early afternoon, </b><i>an opportune Venus/Neptune aspect </i>becomes exact at 12:38pm EST.<b> We started to feel this aspect from Monday evening on; it will remain strong until Thursday night. </b>This is an opportunity for compassion and kindness in our social and work-related interactions. We are more attuned to the subtleties of human interaction, and are more inclined to naturally cooperate with others.\r\n\r\nWe tend to \"feel\" each other on an energetic level now, a sensitive approach is therefore recommended. This is also an opportunity for imaginative or romantic interactions. Remember: opportunities are openings; they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in </i><i>10-14 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Taurus</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune rules Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday (Jan. 4th): </b><i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving</i><i> </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> </i><b>all day</b> (see Wednesday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday at 6:10pm EST, </b>we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for 9 hours, <b>until 3:12am EST (Friday very early morning)</b>. During this intuitive time, have fun connecting with others and doing things that bring you joy — explore, take a risk. As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday evening and night ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Friday (Jan. 5th):</b> <i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> </i>and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">VoC</a><i> </i><b>until 3:12am EST</b> (see Wednesday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Friday at 3:12am EST</b>, <i>the Moon moves into detail-oriented, practical</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <b>until Sunday morning</b>; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<b> </b>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday (Jan. 6th): </b><i>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> </i><b>all day</b> (see Friday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday evening, </b><i>a harmonious Mercury/Uranus aspect </i>becomes exact at 6:39pm EST.<b> We started to feel this aspect from Wednesday night on; it will remain strong until next week, Monday night (Jan. 8th) </b>This aspect supports a connection between our higher mind and our day-to-day mind. We are able to receive inspiration from higher places and maybe even look into the future. We are able to communicate our vision for a better future; insights arise from these communications.\r\n\r\nOriginal, creative insights and ideas can appear out of nowhere; as best as you can, stay open to these unique \"downloads\" -- they might change how you see and proceed with life ;-) This is a good time to communicate online, engage in computer-related activities or scientific projects, and also for anything metaphysical. Group activities like Meetups are great things to be involved with right now -- especially if they allow us to share our vision for a better future.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 21-28 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Leo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel especially blessed by this connection. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or</i><b><i> Aquarius </i></b><i>(Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso on<b> Saturday evening, </b><i>a Mars/Jupiter alignment in almost 18 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i>becomes exact at 7:39pm EST.<b> We started to feel this aspect from Monday evening on; it will remain strong until next week, Thursday evening (Jan. 11th). </b>Mars\'s energy combines with Jupiter\'s expansiveness to increase our enthusiasm, liveliness, and optimism.\r\n\r\nWe enjoy travel, flying, the outdoors, competitive work, vigorous exercise and other Jupiter-ruled pursuits a lot more right now -- especially when they also happen to fit in with our deeper emotional desires for connection and the healing of old traumas.\r\n\r\nWe are more likely to bring a self-confident \"can-do\" attitude, even a certain relish, to life\'s deeper issues -- and to any resources shared with others in areas where we exhibit a strong will to excel. We don\'t rest on our laurels: we keep going on to even bigger and better things.\r\n\r\nParticularly when it comes to intimate partnerships and shared financial matters, this could prove a very productive and busy time; indeed, given our capacity for skillfully handling a wide variety of tasks at the same time, we risk overextending. Don\'t worry: Just pace yourself and go after your goals in the most practical and precise manner you can muster... Tomorrow is another day ;-)\r\n\r\nThe last Mars/Jupiter conjunction took place on Oct 17th, 2015. What did you begin then? How could that now be deepened? What if that could now go to the next level? How might that come about?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 15-21 degrees of</i><b><i> Scorpio, Taurus, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday at 9:51pm EST, </b>we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 9.5 hours, <b>until 7:15am EST (Sunday morning)</b>. Do your best to use this intuitive time to make some adjustments in your life and find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations.<b> </b>\r\n\r\nMake space both for looking at your life philosophies, and for organizing your daily routines. As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday late evening and night ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday late evening, </b><i>a challenging Mercury/Chiron aspect </i>becomes exact at 11:06pm EST.<b> We started to feel this aspect from Wednesday night on; it will remain strong until next week, Monday night (Jan. 8th). </b>This combination might bring up some insecurities in our verbal, in-person or email interactions.\r\n\r\nThat said, this could also be an opportunity for healing; we are energized to move past harsh criticism of ourselves or others, towards more loving and compassionate structures for thinking and communicating. As best as you can, stretch yourself -- and be open to bringing love and understanding to it all (and that includes you) :-)\r\n\r\nDue to Mercury\'s Retrograde phase in December, we are experiencing this particular aspect for the <i>third</i> time within the last 6 weeks (the first two times were between Nov. 21st -- 27th and Dec. 7th -- 12th.) As you look back to those time periods, ask yourself: Did any conversations bring up (or even trigger) wounds, hurts, or insecurities from the past? Did I have any insight about myself in regards to those wounds or insecurities? What steps am I ready to take now?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point or any personal planets in 22-28 degrees of Sagittarius, Pisces, Virgo or Gemini? If so, you are more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini or Virgo (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo).</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday (Jan. 7th): </b><i>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> </i>and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">VoC</a><i> </i><b>until 7:15am EST</b> (see Friday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday at 7:15am EST</b>, <i>the Moon moves into relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>, where it will journey<b> until next week, Tuesday afternoon (Jan. 9th). </b>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the last Quarter Moon (which, will be exact Monday early evening...)\r\n\r\n<b>A head\'s up for next</b> <b>Monday (Jan. 8th): </b><i>the Moon remains in relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking</i><i> </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b>(see Sunday morning for details). <b>In the morning, </b><i>an opportune Sun/Jupiter aspect </i>becomes exact at 7:07am EST.<b> We started to feel this aspect from Saturday on; it will remain strong until Wednesday (Jan. 10th). In the late morning, </b><i>an opportune Venus/Jupiter aspect </i>becomes exact at 11:13am EST.<b> We started to feel this aspect from Saturday evening on; it will remain strong until Tuesday night (Jan.9th).  </b>\r\n\r\n<b>Mid-afternoon, </b><i>an opportune Mars/Pluto aspect </i>becomes exact at 2:59pm EST.<b> We started to feel this aspect from Friday evening on; it will remain strong until Thursday evening (Jan. 11th). In the early evening, at 5:25pm EST</b>, the <i>Last Quarter Moon in </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i> becomes exact. </i>The Moon in <b>Libra</b> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in <b>Capricorn</b>.<b> We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Libra Sunday morning. </b>More about all the details in next week’s forecast ;-)<b> </b>\r\n\r\nHave a fantastic week!\r\n\r\nMany blessings,\r\n\r\nSonja\r\n\r\nPS: To apply my forecasts and videos to your own birth chart, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">watch my 30-minute class on: \"How to Read Your Birth Chart\"</a> and feel free to go to my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fan page</a> for my daily forecasts ;-)', 'Move Towards Mastery', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '5253-revision-v1', '', '', '2018-01-14 01:26:56', '2018-01-14 06:26:56', '', '5253', 'https://astrologercoach.com/uncategorized/5253-revision-v1/', '0', 'revision', '', '0');

Take a breath. Relax. Find your peace. Don\'t require the Universe to move more rapidly than it is. It is actually working perfectly, and it will prove that to you if you will give it a chance. Really. Trust me on this.” — Neale Donald Walsh</span>\r\n<h3>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement:</h3>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are getting closer to the launch of my new online community!</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> Right now we are aiming for Jan.16th or 17th -- keep your fingers crossed for me ;-) I\'m super-excited, and at the same time, I also sometimes stress out about the scope of this amazing new beginning for myself and everyone out there who will join us. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">But as my spiritual coach likes to remind me, \"Life is an ongoing experiment\" and \"True professionalism is about being able to be flexible and kind about unforeseen situations that come up, allowing ourselves to learn from them and finding out how to make creative adjustments.\"</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>This week\'s headline item<span style=\"color: #000000;\">s</span></b>: the New Moon in Capricorn becomes exact on Tuesday; Venus changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius on Wednesday, and the Sun will do the same on Friday. Last but not least, Eclipse season begins on Sunday and runs until Feb. 25th.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">There will also be three <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning (for 2 hours), Friday morning (for a little over 8.5 hours), and Sunday evening (for a little over 5 hours).</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday (January 15th): </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day.</b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> It will journey there <b>until Wednesday very early morning. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, be truthful with yourself about where you are at: Do you actually have a realistic view about what is so, right now, in your life? Not what you wish it to be or what you would like it to be or where you see yourself going.... What is so right now? Once you know where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\", whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday very early morning, </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">becomes exact at 1:59am EST.</span><b> We started to feel this aspect from Friday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday morning. </b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Until Friday, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">23-27 degrees</span> of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday late evening: </b><i>an opportune long-term Jupiter/Pluto aspect </i>that we <b>started to feel back on Tuesday Jan. 3rd becomes exact at 11:13pm EST; it will remain strong until Wednesday, Jan. 31st </b>and brings with it an opportunity to deepen our relationships, business and personal alike. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">A positive attitude and deeper trust in our connections with others gives us the chance to build something meaningful and share our passions with them. We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support professional or personal goals. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: Where could I really dig in to solve a problem? How might passion help deliver on my long-term goals? How could other people\'s resources support my ability to create transformation? How might they help me stand in my power?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><b><i> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">17-21 degrees</span> </i></b><i>of</i><b><i> Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces </i></b><i>or <strong>Virgo</strong></i><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces). </i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday (Jan. 16th): </b><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>t</em><b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">he Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</span></i></b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day </b></span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">(see Monday for details).</span> </span></span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday evening, at 9:17pm ES</b>T<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,</span><em> the Moon aligns with the Sun in almost 27 degrees of Capricorn, </em>launching </span><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">a new Moon cycle.</span> </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is a good time to go within, to seed anything we would like to accomplish for the next 28 days, and maybe even beyond. The next section of this forecast will dig in to this in more detail; you may also want to <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/commitments-integrity/\">watch my New Moon video</a> :-) </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is the first New Moon of the year and since <strong>Capricorn</strong> represents the quest for mastery on the physical plane, some useful questions you can ask yourself include: </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">What is my relationship to the physical? Do I respect the laws of matter? Am I going about things in a realistic way? How committed am I really? Where does my inner compass point? What am I willing to undergo to overcome adversity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The highest vibration of <strong>Capricorn</strong> is the development of responsibility, resourcefulness, reliability, self-mastery, the ability to set realistic goals and healthy boundaries. The next 28 days are a perfect time to work on these areas. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, prepare for the future, make commitments and recognize responsibilities -- in other words, nurture your dreams in a realistic manner. Focus on setting and achieving practical and attainable long-term goals, one step at a time, one day at a time -- this is not about immediate results, it\'s about the quality of the foundation you are building.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> also invites us to set the kind of realistic limits and boundaries that allow everyone involved to learn from the consequences of their choices. Where in my life am I able to set realistic limits and boundaries? Where is that an obstacle in your life? What am I afraid of in those moments? What would be the worst of that?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> relates directly to the level of our maturity: We start out on a more instinctual, survival level; this stage is basically fear-based, with a scarcity mentality. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Once we get better at living on the earth plane -- and we understand the rules better -- we transition to goal-oriented ambition and self-challenge, seeking recognition and rewards. This phase is still sometimes fear-based, but already we are taking more responsibility for our part in achieving things, and we are manifesting on the physical plane. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Eventually, as we grow spiritually and learn more about the laws of matter, earthly ambitions are often replaced by some form of spiritual service. We recognize that personal gain is not the only (or even the highest) goal, we see that when we contribute to others, we are also giving to ourselves -- perhaps we also surpass the physical appearance of separation and connect to life in it\'s highest form.</span> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">At this level, we are living in pure accordance with our conscience, from a place of maturity and inner guidance.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: What if I developed 5% more discipline? Integrity? What about 5% more commitment towards something that aligns both with myself and with life itself? What would 100% responsibility for my life look like? What if I responded to situations in a way that respects and serves all those involved? </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">  </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> <em>This New Moon aligns with Venus and Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong> and squares Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>.</em> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">First let\'s focus on the alignment with Venus and Pluto: This conveys an extra-potent message about our perception of physical reality -- time and space -- and about our relationship to love, our values, power or feeling empowered. Ask yourself: If I truly had choice in the matter, what kind of future would I choose to step into? Who would I choose to connect with? Why? Who would I not choose to connect with? Why not?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Venus in conjunction with the New Moon</em> advises us to choose wisely and from the heart. Ask yourself: Am I true to myself? Am I working too hard without making enough progress? Am I expressing my feelings truthfully? Or hiding my true feelings from others? Am I in touch with what\'s important to me -- especially in regards to relationships? Am I happy? Could I love and respect myself and life 5% more?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">With this many planets in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, it is important for us to take breaks — or simply slow down and allow ourselves to tune in. It’s important to explore ways to stay heart-centered and grounded -- seek tools or people to help you with that exploration. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Now let\'s talk about <em>the square to Uranus</em> -- the energy of freedom, innovation and reform. This combo focuses our attention on the right use of power -- which respects the rights, needs, and gifts of all beings. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: Where do I need to be more courageous? Where do I need to \"think different\"? What if I became 5% more aware of my personal power? Where might I have given it away to others? And how might I begin to reclaim it? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Remember that change is not always progress. Consider all options first and then respond, rather than reacting; stay flexible and be willing to entertain new possibilities. What if -- in small or large ways -- I could help birth a new age, and with it a new world, one based on heart-centered consciousness and individual freedoms?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>The New Moon also sextiles Mars in <strong>Scorpio</strong> and Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong></em>. This is an opportunity to heal our collective wounds around any sense of spiritual disconnection in our world of accomplishments. We get a chance to connect more deeply with others and bring a powerful approach to what we are building and working towards. Our actions tend to be in greater alignment with our deepest desires.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: What if I could be both productive <em>and</em> gentle with myself at the same time? What would a compassionate approach make possible? What is pushing or pulling at me? How could my actions become a source of empowerment? What if I allowed all actions to flow from a deep sense of authentic connectedness? What if I forgave myself and others for having flaws or limitations?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Given that it rules <strong>Capricorn</strong>, <em>Saturn\'s placement in its own sign</em> plays an important role with this New Moon -- and if you\'d like to know how Saturn\'s journey in <strong>Capricorn</strong> will impact you personally over the next three years, feel free to check out my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, available for purchase <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-recorded-webinars/\">on my website</a> (or check out a<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/5067/\"> 30-minute excerpt for free :-)</a></span>\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Saturn conjuncts Mercury while in <strong>Capricorn</strong></em>. This reminds us of the power of our mind -- that our thoughts and words matter. What am I doing, career-wise? What is the long-term plan? How can I honor and share those goals with others in a clear and honest way? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">It\'s time to think seriously about what no longer works. As best as you can, investigate your thought processes: What no longer feels useful in my approach? What if I got real about that? What might be possible if I took 5% more responsibility for my inner dialog, and the energy those thoughts disperse?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>To sum all of this up:</strong> We are invited to become mature, responsible planetary citizens, while honoring our individuality -- in other words, making a difference, one by one -- even when it seems as though we are too little to create a big shift on our own. No matter how small an action may seem, every pebble makes a ripple...</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This cosmic combo also directs our attention to our bottom lines. What matters most to me? What are my priorities? Am I living my truth, and thus loving my goals? Where is it best to be flexible, and where must I remain focused and in alignment with my commitments? When have I felt the happiest? What if I committed 5% more to the things, people and places in my life that make me happy? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Inner strength and self-reliance come almost entirely from adversity; obstacles are the part of life that show us where we have an opportunity to become more capable and where we have drifted from contact with outer reality or inner truth. Am I on the right track, as best as I can tell? Am I walking my own path? Or someone else\'s? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">What obstacles can I see or sense from here? What if there was value in those obstacles? Could I send them gratitude for being given the opportunity to get back into greater alignment with myself and reality?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Choose wisely for 2018 and beyond. Participate consciously in the evolution of existence on this planet, not from fear, but from knowledge of your inner strength and personal power -- the power of your heart and your humanity! Trust your inner truth!</span>\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are also about to enter Eclipse season, as the first of two Eclipses becomes exact on Jan. 31st; I\'ll be talking more about this in my next Monthly Forecasting Forum on Feb. 3rd.

An inner awareness needs to be developed in order to see what needs adjusting -- this aspect calls for flexibility.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We experience an internal stress between our masculine energies (assertiveness/aggression) and our need to express our unique spark (and the desire to make a difference).</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are being asked to go within and look at our personal goals and desires -- and reach a new perspective on how we go about achieving them. Are we driven by personal resistance and rebellion, or motivated to positively impact humanity?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Once we get clear about our deepest motivations, we will discover new ways to move forward and embrace our uniqueness in a healthy way, while demonstrating our strength and power more authentically, from a place of love and abundance, rather than fear and limitation. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">How might you get in touch with your inner genius? What if you shared it from a true desire to empower others?  What \"old\" behaviors can now be released? What might a deep, passionate connection to your vision of a future self look like? What might be possible if you could get 5% more comfortable with being uncomfortable?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-26 degrees of <strong>Scorpio</strong> or <strong>Aries</strong>?

A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">It\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\".

Music might help us with our thinking process and ability to get things done. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Let yourself be inspired! A book, a song, a movie, someone else\'s words… allow the Universe to speak to you. Open your mind to a higher vibration -- and remember, opportunities are openings... they aren\'t necessarily handed to us... we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.

If possible, try to defer any major brand-new projects until after Feb. 25th, when this Eclipse season is over. If something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic… allow it to be.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Another Eclipse-related phenomenon: not only do Eclipses bring up uncertainty in us, they might also leave us nervous, anxious, unsettled and disoriented. As best as you can, observe your feelings and stay grounded in the \"here and now\". Connect to your intuition and inner wisdom; they will help carry you through this period. Remember: it\'s temporary and we are receiving an upgrade -- that\'s a good thing!</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Just like upgrading a computer, you will get all the information you need, as soon as the upgrade is complete -- so as best you can, be patient.

Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)</span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery. </span><!--more-->\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, be truthful with yourself about where you are at: Do you actually have a realistic view about what is so, right now, in your life? Not what you wish it to be or what you would like it to be or where you see yourself going.... What is so right now? Once you know where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\", whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.</span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday very early morning, </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">becomes exact at 1:59am EST.</span><b> We started to feel this aspect from Friday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday morning. </b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body. </span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?</span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Until Friday, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity? </span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">23-27 degrees</span> of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>?

How committed am I really? Where does my inner compass point? What am I willing to undergo to overcome adversity? </span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The highest vibration of <strong>Capricorn</strong> is the development of responsibility, resourcefulness, reliability, self-mastery, the ability to set realistic goals and healthy boundaries. The next 28 days are a perfect time to work on these areas. </span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, prepare for the future, make commitments and recognize responsibilities -- in other words, nurture your dreams in a realistic manner. Focus on setting and achieving practical and attainable long-term goals, one step at a time, one day at a time -- this is not about immediate results, it\'s about the quality of the foundation you are building.</span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> also invites us to set the kind of realistic limits and boundaries that allow everyone involved to learn from the consequences of their choices. Where in my life am I able to set realistic limits and boundaries? Where is that an obstacle in your life? What am I afraid of in those moments? What would be the worst of that?</span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> relates directly to the level of our maturity: We start out on a more instinctual, survival level; this stage is basically fear-based, with a scarcity mentality. </span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Once we get better at living on the earth plane -- and we understand the rules better -- we transition to goal-oriented ambition and self-challenge, seeking recognition and rewards. This phase is still sometimes fear-based, but already we are taking more responsibility for our part in achieving things, and we are manifesting on the physical plane. </span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Eventually, as we grow spiritually and learn more about the laws of matter, earthly ambitions are often replaced by some form of spiritual service. We recognize that personal gain is not the only (or even the highest) goal, we see that when we contribute to others, we are also giving to ourselves -- perhaps we also surpass the physical appearance of separation and connect to life in it\'s highest form.</span> </span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">At this level, we are living in pure accordance with our conscience, from a place of maturity and inner guidance.</span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: What if I developed 5% more discipline? Integrity? What about 5% more commitment towards something that aligns both with myself and with life itself? What would 100% responsibility for my life look like? What if I responded to situations in a way that respects and serves all those involved? </span>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">  </span>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> <em>This New Moon aligns with Venus and Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong> and squares Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>.</em> </span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">First let\'s focus on the alignment with Venus and Pluto: This conveys an extra-potent message about our perception of physical reality -- time and space -- and about our relationship to love, our values, power or feeling empowered. Ask yourself: If I truly had choice in the matter, what kind of future would I choose to step into? Who would I choose to connect with? Why? Who would I not choose to connect with? Why not?</span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Venus in conjunction with the New Moon</em> advises us to choose wisely and from the heart. Ask yourself: Am I true to myself? Am I working too hard without making enough progress? Am I expressing my feelings truthfully? Or hiding my true feelings from others? Am I in touch with what\'s important to me -- especially in regards to relationships? Am I happy? Could I love and respect myself and life 5% more?</span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">With this many planets in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, it is important for us to take breaks — or simply slow down and allow ourselves to tune in. It’s important to explore ways to stay heart-centered and grounded -- seek tools or people to help you with that exploration. </span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Now let\'s talk about <em>the square to Uranus</em> -- the energy of freedom, innovation and reform. This combo focuses our attention on the right use of power -- which respects the rights, needs, and gifts of all beings. </span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: Where do I need to be more courageous? Where do I need to \"think different\"? What if I became 5% more aware of my personal power? Where might I have given it away to others? And how might I begin to reclaim it? </span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Remember that change is not always progress. Consider all options first and then respond, rather than reacting; stay flexible and be willing to entertain new possibilities. What if -- in small or large ways -- I could help birth a new age, and with it a new world, one based on heart-centered consciousness and individual freedoms?</span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>The New Moon also sextiles Mars in <strong>Scorpio</strong> and Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong></em>. This is an opportunity to heal our collective wounds around any sense of spiritual disconnection in our world of accomplishments. We get a chance to connect more deeply with others and bring a powerful approach to what we are building and working towards. Our actions tend to be in greater alignment with our deepest desires.</span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: What if I could be both productive <em>and</em> gentle with myself at the same time? What would a compassionate approach make possible? What is pushing or pulling at me? How could my actions become a source of empowerment? What if I allowed all actions to flow from a deep sense of authentic connectedness? What if I forgave myself and others for having flaws or limitations?</span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Given that it rules <strong>Capricorn</strong>, <em>Saturn\'s placement in its own sign</em> plays an important role with this New Moon -- and if you\'d like to know how Saturn\'s journey in <strong>Capricorn</strong> will impact you personally over the next three years, feel free to check out my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, available for purchase <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/saturn-in-capricorn-until-2020/\">on my website</a> (or check out a<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/saturn/5067/\"> 30-minute excerpt for free :-)</a></span>\n</span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Saturn conjuncts Mercury while in <strong>Capricorn</strong></em>. This reminds us of the power of our mind -- that our thoughts and words matter. What am I doing, career-wise? What is the long-term plan? How can I honor and share those goals with others in a clear and honest way? </span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">It\'s time to think seriously about what no longer works. As best as you can, investigate your thought processes: What no longer feels useful in my approach? What if I got real about that? What might be possible if I took 5% more responsibility for my inner dialog, and the energy those thoughts disperse?</span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>To sum all of this up:</strong> We are invited to become mature, responsible planetary citizens, while honoring our individuality -- in other words, making a difference, one by one -- even when it seems as though we are too little to create a big shift on our own. No matter how small an action may seem, every pebble makes a ripple...</span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This cosmic combo also directs our attention to our bottom lines. What matters most to me? What are my priorities? Am I living my truth, and thus loving my goals? Where is it best to be flexible, and where must I remain focused and in alignment with my commitments? When have I felt the happiest? What if I committed 5% more to the things, people and places in my life that make me happy? </span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Inner strength and self-reliance come almost entirely from adversity; obstacles are the part of life that show us where we have an opportunity to become more capable and where we have drifted from contact with outer reality or inner truth. Am I on the right track, as best as I can tell? Am I walking my own path? Or someone else\'s? </span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">What obstacles can I see or sense from here? What if there was value in those obstacles? Could I send them gratitude for being given the opportunity to get back into greater alignment with myself and reality?</span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Choose wisely for 2018 and beyond. Participate consciously in the evolution of existence on this planet, not from fear, but from knowledge of your inner strength and personal power -- the power of your heart and your humanity! Trust your inner truth!</span>\n</span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are also about to enter Eclipse season, as the first of two Eclipses becomes exact on Jan. 31st; I\'ll be talking more about this in my next Monthly Forecasting Forum on Feb. 3rd.

You get the idea :-)\r\n\r\nSo, <b>between now and Dec. 2020</b>, we are invited to look for practical applications for our ambitions. We may well be firming up our long-term goals -- this transit is a time to focus on building a secure foundation in our professional lives.\r\n\r\nSaturn in Capricorn also reminds us that in order to build or bring forth our visions, we need to look at the practical implications -- we need to slow down and take our time, if we are to manifest something that can withstand the test of time -- something that is of value to society, not just to a few.\r\n\r\nHowever, before we can know exactly what path to take, we must know where we currently stand -- we have to be realistic about \"where we\'re at\" to know what steps to take.\r\n\r\nIt\'s a time when we are working hard, taking on our fair share of duties and responsibilities, and either reaping some of the rewards of our hard work or facing the consequences of poor choices. We are invited, individually and collectively, to apply our newly refined ethics and life perspectives in a healthy and productive way.\r\n\r\nThink back to the period between Nov. 1988 and Feb. 1991 -- the last time Saturn made this journey: What did you accomplish back then, in regards to long-term goals, or the building of healthy foundations in your life? What area of life got a lot of your attention and focus in those days? Where did you have to apply yourself and have patience?\r\n\r\nBy the way, if you were born during that time period, you will experience your first \"Saturn Return\" within the next three years... (and if you were born between January, 1959 and January, 1962, you\'re coming up on your second Saturn Return).\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how Saturn\'s journey in <b>Capricorn</b> will impact you personally <i>in the next three years</i>, feel free <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/saturn-in-capricorn-until-2020/\"><b>to purchase my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, click here</b></a> or for a quick preview <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/5067/\">check out this 30-minute excerpt</a> of the webinar.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>?

In addition, the first Quarter Moon in Taurus becomes exact on Wednesday and Mars changes signs from Scorpio to Sagittarius on Friday morning.\r\n\r\nThere will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Tuesday late evening (for almost 9.5 hours), Thursday late evening (for almost 14.5 hours), and Sunday early morning (for a little over 8 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (January 22nd):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive <strong>Pisces</strong> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 1:27am EST</strong>.</em> <strong>At that time,</strong> <em>the Moon enters pioneering, fast-paced <strong>Aries</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday morning</strong>. The energy of the Aries Moon bears on starting something new.\r\n\r\nOur gut impulses are strong; we feel energetic, spontaneous, enthusiastic and brave -- and perhaps impatient and impulsive. Excess energy is best channeled into physical activity.\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Monday</strong>, it\'s <em>time to actions on our New Moon intentions</em>: if you set Intentions Tuesday night, Wednesday or Thursday of last week -- after the New Moon became exact -- today will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?<!--more-->\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (January 23rd):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced <strong>Aries</strong></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 11:16pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 9.5 hours,<strong> until 8:39am EST (Wednesday morning). </strong>Use this intuitive time to connect to people that can enthusiastically support your projects and share with them what you have going on.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday night and Wednesday morning ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (January 24th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced <strong>Aries</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 8:39am EST</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 8:39am EST</strong>, <i>the Moon moves</i><b> </b><i>into steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Friday early afternoon</strong>. We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well. In other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-) This Moon placement starts the build up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Wednesday afternoon). <i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon,</strong> <em>a Mercury/Pluto alignment 19.5 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> becomes exact at 3:50pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Monday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday.</strong> With this alignment, an all-or-nothing attitude is very likely. We have tremendous mental focus — which could tip into obsession. Choose love over fear whenever possible. Connect to the things you feel passionate about -- and connect to others, empowering them with your passions. As best as you can, choose your words carefully -- if possible, speak from that deeply connected and empowered place.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 16-23 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Aries, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more connected to this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday early evening, at 5:20pm EST</strong>, <i>the first Quarter Moon in almost 5 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> </i>becomes exact. <b>We started to feel this aspect from the moment the Moon entered Taurus this morning. </b>The Moon, in <i>steady, peaceful, comfort-oriented</i><i> </i><b><i>Taurus,</i></b> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking, rebellious </i><b><i>Aquarius.</i></b>\r\n\r\nWe feel compelled to take action. Last week on Jan. 16th, the New Moon in Capricorn was exact: \"Seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making their first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day interactions with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 3-7 degrees of</i><b><i> Taurus, Aquarius, Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (January 25th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful </em><strong><em>Taurus</em> all day</strong> (see Wednesday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning</strong>,<em> an opportune Mercury/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 6:28am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Tuesday night on; it will remain strong until this Friday</strong>. This aspect is an opportunity for us to expand our thinking and express ourselves with confidence and optimism -- we share what\'s important to us from a place of open-mindedness and excitement.\r\n\r\nThis connection also creates a possibility of expansion via stepping into uncharted territory. Humor can be a great way to tap into this energetic combo. This planetary connection also favors short trips, writing, teaching, studying, and making observations. We more readily exercise good judgment and are more \"philosophical\" and open to learning.\r\n\r\nAgain, as with any opportunity, we have to \"take\" it -- it requires we take action. What could you do that would instill confidence in your exploration of the mind? Is there a new mental process that is asking to be explored?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Capricorn,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Scorpio, Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>(Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius). </i><i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 10:17pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 14.5 hours, <strong>until 12:40pm EST (Friday early afternoon)</strong>. Use this intuitive time to share about earthly issues and support each other in practical ways.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday night and Friday morning ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (January 26th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 12:40pm EST</strong> (see Wednesday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 7:56am EST</strong>, <i>Mars changes signs from passionate </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> to adventurous </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until March 17th</strong><b>.</b> With this placement, we are going to feel a little restless, maybe even impatient at times -- we want to explore. This is a great time to get into sports or some athletic activity. We have so many ideas and interests that we can\'t just stick to one thing right now, so we may have several projects running at the same time.\r\n\r\nIt\'s a time when we prefer to improvise and just wing it. That makes it more fun and brings a sense of adventure to our day. We also like to have some good debates with others, persuading them to share our beliefs. It\'s not the best time to get too serious about life, as we prefer to feel free-flowing and excited about new things -- especially when we can learn something new ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more adventurous and probably more impatient. You may want to explore new sports or physical activities. If you are a </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 7 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 12:40pm EST</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday afternoon.</strong><b>.</b> For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way... The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (January 27th)</strong>: <i>the</i> <i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> </i><b>all day</b> (see Friday early afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday morning:</strong> we are asked to connect with others, socialize, and share information with them. Then, <strong>in the later morning</strong>, we are required to make some adjustments -- and we may need to do a little stretching and growing, when it comes to our inner or emotional experiences. As best as you can, be gentle with yourself and others, seek to understand before seeking to be understood.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday night</strong>/Sunday very early morning, <em>a challenging Mercury/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:08am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Friday morning on; it will remain strong until next week Monday night (Jan. 29th). </strong>This aspect creates some tension in our lives: We may feel anxious or stressed by a situation or an interaction with business, or something to do with our career or long-term goals.\r\n\r\nWe\'ll likely want to think outside the box. We may also want to bring some changes to a life situation or long-term goal that no longer fits. Again: We are being called to play a bigger game and may feel overwhelmed by what it all means.\r\n\r\nOur minds may prefer things to be “squared away”, traditional or established, yet at the same time be possessed by a great urge for progress and breakthroughs — and this could leave us feeling irritable — the best way to manage this is to channel some of that nervous, irritable energy into constructive pursuits.\r\n\r\nSince there\'s a tendency right now to challenge established thought, or play devil\'s advocate, it also helps to get in touch with our inner truth. Use breath to turn any fear into excitement -- and let yourself drop into your heart.\r\n\r\nExpect the unexpected, plan on disruption, revelation and breakthroughs -- during this transit, the best mind is an open mind. As best as you can, go with the flow, staying open to the new and unexpectedly different. Could you allow whatever is happening to stimulate new approaches?\r\n\r\nAs you can perhaps imagine, this is not a time to make major decisions, especially if they are hasty ;-) You can think of this as \"reorganizing\" time for the mind, like moving your furniture around.  If you feel yourself resisting the reshuffle, do your best to relax -- and maybe even sit back and enjoy the show.\r\n\r\nAnd as always, if all else fails, take it one moment at a time... Rather than jumping to conclusions, get grounded in the here and now — bringing awareness to your breath (or body) is a good way to do this.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in </i><em>22-28 degrees</em><i> of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Aries, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Uranus rules Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (January 28th):</strong> <i>the</i> <i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> <strong>until 1:57pm EST</strong> (see Friday early afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 5:39am EST,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 8 hours,<strong> until 1:57pm EST.</strong> If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday morning until early afternoon ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday afternoon,</strong> <em>an opportune Mercury/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:50pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Saturday morning on; it will remain strong until Monday evening (Jan. 29th) . </strong>We have an opportunity to bring healing energy to our concrete mind and to our thoughts. We also have a chance to heal insecurities in our verbal, in-person, or email interactions.\r\n\r\nWe are better able now to tune out that automatic/critical inner voice, in favor of more loving and compassionate structures for thinking and communicating. By bringing love and understanding to our thinking processes, we have a chance to move beyond entrenched habits, like \"pushing ourselves\" or dreaming up catastrophic futures.\r\n\r\nHere’s a few good “chew toys” for your mind at this time: What was your family\'s attitude towards career? Long-term goals in general? What if you tried a gentler approach for a bit? Does your inner dialog really have to repeat what they said when you were 5 years old? What if you used a gentler voice for the next ten minutes or so?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 23-28 degrees of</i> <b><i>Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>?</i> <i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b> <i>(Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 1:57pm EST</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Tuesday afternoon (Jan. 30th)</strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, otherwise you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (Jan. 29th):</strong> <i>the</i> <i>Moon remains</i> <i>in</i> <i>protective, introverted </i><b><i>Cancer </i>all day</b> (see Sunday afternoon for details). More about all the details in next week’s forecast ;-)\r\n<h3>One Last Announcement:</h3>\r\nJoin me for my next FORECASTING FORUM, <strong>Saturday, Feb. 3rd, 2018 at</strong> 11am PST/ <strong>2pm EST</strong>/7pm GMT (London-time). <strong>Please note </strong>that we will be talking about the<strong> upcoming Eclipses: Lunar Eclipse/SuperMoon in Leo </strong>and<strong> Solar Eclipse in Aquarius.</strong>\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how to align yourself with these these potent energies coming our way, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">To register now, click here: www.AstrologerCoach.com</a>\r\n<h3>Here is a testimonial from one of our participants right after joining our most recent Forum:</h3>\r\n<blockquote><em>\"Sonja\'s Forecasting Forums make Astrology accessible for anyone.

With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, otherwise you might start to feel drained and resentful.<i> </i>This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the Full Moon (exact later that evening). <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_N03uZ8Iq7s\">Click here to watch my Full Moon video</a>\r\n\r\n<b>Monday evening, at 9:24pm EST,</b><b> </b><i>the Moon opposes the Sun (in 11.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Cancer/Capricorn</i></b><i>). </i>As mentioned above, the entrance of the Moon into<i> </i><b>Cancer </b>(Monday, very early in the morning) began the energetic build up towards this <i>Full Moon</i>.\r\n\r\nThis will be another \"Super\" Full Moon! The Moon is at its closest point to the Earth and therefore the gravitational pull is stronger; we experience this on the physical, emotional and psychic levels.\r\n\r\nRelationships of all kinds are highlighted during this time — but with this Full Moon, there is a particularly strong emphasis on family- and business-relationships.\r\n\r\nWith the Sun in <b>Capricorn </b>for the past 1.5 weeks, we are looking for balance, and are more aware than ever that something needs to be brought back into alignment. The balance we seek is between the <b>Capricorn</b>-<b>Cancer</b> polarity.\r\n\r\n<b>Capricorn</b> teaches us to honor all aspects of the physical world; it also urges us to create and build something of long-term use to everyone. <b>Cancer,</b> on the other hand,<b> </b>represents the formation of the emotional body and an understanding of our feelings and needs; this helps us navigate life by building an awareness of what is healthy or harmful to us.\r\n\r\nIn order to emerge as healthy beings, we need to be able to nurture ourselves and others, in part by taking care of our feelings and our \"inner baby\" (Cancer) — yet we also need to be able to evolve into responsible adults, able to provide for ourselves and others (Capricorn).\r\n\r\n<b>Capricorn</b> asks us to step into our power and mature to the point where we no longer need to look outside of ourselves for approval or validation -- to become the master of our own lives.\r\n\r\nQuestions you can ask yourself: Am I more connected to what nurtures me -- or to my \"shoulds\"? Does my current environment support my inner growth? Does it provide me with nourishing bonds to others?\r\n\r\nYou could say that <b>Cancer</b> is about healthy roots, while <b>Capricorn</b> is about sharing the fruits of our labor -- and both signs represent feminine, receptive energies, that require of us to generate from the inside out.\r\n\r\nAs well as illuminating our path towards greater spiritual alignment, Full Moons illuminate the shadow side of each sign -- for the next two weeks, ask yourself these questions: Am I taking too little or too much responsibility in a particular area of my life? When do I have a tendency to blame, shame or feel guilty? Where do I tend to get defensive? Where do I need to set better boundaries?\r\n\r\nIn order to develop a healthy inner <b>Capricorn</b>, we must learn to listen to our feelings and honor our needs, rather than disregarding them. Only then can we build something of value and move towards mastery.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself (and as best as you can, be really honest with yourself): Where and when do I tend to look for permission outside of myself? In what moments of my life did I abdicate my authority, or project it onto others? How important is status, control or winning to me?\r\n\r\n<b>Cancer</b> seeks to create a sense of home and family, the experience of nourishing bonds, and surroundings that support our growth. Ask yourself: When do I have the tendency to hold on to the past? When do I resist change? What happens when I don\'t allow myself to feel my feelings?\r\n\r\nAs we cultivate our inner life, our soul light builds and radiates out to nurture others; we ultimately discover that our true ‘home’ is actually the light inside our own heart. <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_N03uZ8Iq7s\">Feel free to also watch Full Moon/SuperMoon video</a>\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon points to <i>several energy patterns</i>:\r\n\r\nThe first one is a <i>Grand Trine in Water</i>, involving the Moon in <b>Cancer</b>, Neptune in <b>Pisces</b>, and Mars/Jupiter in <b>Scorpio</b>. This brings a feminine emphasis towards the flow of compassion, psychic/intuitive sensing, and with it a desire for emotional fulfillment and empowerment within our relationships.\r\n\r\nThis Grand Trine will help us raise our vibrations, if we choose to do so; it will make it easier to embrace shadow issues and redefine them -- we get a chance to bring awareness and acceptance to any places in us that have felt closed off to the public, neglected, ignored.\r\n\r\nSeeking help from trusted support systems or healers during this process is not only recommended, it is also wise if we seek to heal our insecurities and those inner places of disconnect. So… for the next two weeks, ask yourself: What if I listened to myself, nurtured myself, treated myself with the respect, understanding and love I would show my dearest friend? What would I be guided to do? How might others benefit from that?\r\n\r\nThe second of those energy patterns is a<i> </i><i>Stellium in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>: the Sun aligns with Pluto</i><b><i>,</i></b><i> Venus and Saturn</i>. As the third earth sign, Capricorn (at its highest vibration) seeks to create forms that are based on spiritual truths — that all matter is composed of energy, and it is our collective duty to use all energy responsibly.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What am I likely to manifest in my own world, given the energies that are part of my creative process every day?\r\n\r\nWe are being asked to bring conscious awareness to our essence and purpose (Pluto), to our roles, rules, responsibilities and boundaries (Saturn), and finally to our values and how we relate to ourselves and others (Venus).\r\n\r\nThis provides an opportunity to truly align with what brings emotional and material security to our world. As best as you can, focus on dedication, wholeness and truth -- devote yourself to your true passions, to your heart. We are more likely to want to work towards a goal, to achieve things, give form to something in the external world that aligns with those values.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What lies between me and my Authentic Self? Can I actually find any such obstacle if I let go of memories and concepts, and just look here and now?\r\n\r\nIt’s also worth noting: Success and rewards will come in direct proportion to the amount of authentic passion, integrity and maturity we bring to the world. Ask yourself: Where do I need to commit more deeply to what really matters? How authentic am I when it comes to my long-term goals? How passionate? How truthful?\r\n\r\nAnd of course, as always when Cancer and Capricorn are involved: take baby-steps (or if you prefer \"take it one day at a time\" ;-) Ask yourself: Why would I sprint if I can get there at the perfect time by walking? Where does the urge for rushing or \"getting there\" come from? Is it based in fear or love? What if I brought 5% more self-love to every moment while working towards my achievement? Could I do that just by checking in with myself from time to time?\r\n\r\nThe third major energy pattern that this Full Moon points to is the <i>Pluto/Uranus square --</i> which is only 5 degrees apart again, due to Uranus\'s Retrograde motion and station phase at the time of this Full Moon. As mentioned in these forecasts many times since 2011, this square is an invitation for us all to make a giant step forward, both individually and collectively — we are ready for major changes in our own lives and on a global level.\r\n\r\nThis is all about each of us stepping up, stretching ourselves, making a difference, one by one -- we feel a deep inner need to create personal and global change -- we detect shifts in the world at large. Authenticity and individual self-expression are paramount. The meaning of \"Leadership\" is changing: We must all lead now, in our own lives and in the world, for the good of all.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Where could I play a bigger game? Where am I being called to step up?\r\n\r\nThis aspect carries an extra charge, because <i>Uranus stations direct at 24 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> </i><b>on Jan. 2nd, </b>only one day after the Full Moon becomes exact. It’s time to make a real (not merely cosmetic) change in at least one area of our life. Uranus in <b>Aries</b> exhorts us to be bold, think for ourselves, and not be dependent on external approval.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Am I expressing my individuality to the fullest? Am I connecting to a larger vision for my future? Is anything holding me back?\r\n\r\nIf we insist on holding onto a job, relationship, or situation we have outgrown, an unexpected turn of events may force us to go in a new direction. Uranus stationed retrograde on August 3rd at 28.5° of <b>Aries</b>; reflect on the weeks around that date. Ask yourself: What needs to change in my life, small or large? What is asking for a quantum leap?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, be brave enough to step out... This is also a great time to work with your own astrological chart, or seek other ways to elevate your consciousness, create your own reality and experience freedom from within. Ask yourself: Where do I feel the desire to break free? Where have I denied myself permission to be free? Unique? Simply \"myself\"?\r\n\r\nWith this much erratic energy moving through our bodies, we are best off staying in movement and \"shaking it out\". Flexibility, Courage, Self-Empowerment: these are the watchwords! Remember: what you do for you, you do for everyone… and what you do for everyone, you do for you!\r\n\r\n<i>Mars</i>, the archetype of desire and courage, willpower and assertion,<i> is in almost 15 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> and is squaring the Moon Nodes</i>, just as Jupiter did at the last Lunation.\r\n\r\nSquares mark turning points -- and this one is a turning point in our collective, spiritual journey. It\'s asking us to find a balance between feminine and masculine energies — when we look at this, taking Scorpio into account, we can see that we are actually being invited to transform our inner masculine. Ask yourself: What does assertiveness look like when fear is not present? How can we use our masculine energies in a empowering way?\r\n\r\nIn order to get to a place of greater joy on an individual and collective level, one where we truly feel grateful for our lives, we need to first transform our approach towards passion, assertion, and leadership.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What does true leadership mean to me? Where might I locate this energy within me? If I found it, what might I do with it? What small (or large) steps could I take to empower myself and others in my various communities?\r\n\r\nDuring this time of change and transformation, self-care is definitely worth our attention… Make sure you get plenty of rest, affection, water and healthy nutritious foods ;-)\r\n\r\nTo sum it all up: Tap into your inner courage. Honor your feelings and needs, so you can build something of value -- and share the fruits of your labor with the world.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What might the balance lie between nurturing and self-care, versus achieving my goals? Am I doing what I want to do, or what I think I should do? As best as you can, be kind and gentle, compassionate, and accepting of yourself -- this will help balance the Cancer/Capricorn polarities.  <a href=\"http://www.dev2.astrologercoach.com/full-moon/\">Again, feel free to also watch Full Moon/SuperMoon video</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 9-14 degrees of </i><b><i>Cancer, Capricorn, Aries</i></b><i> and </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s Full Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday (Jan. 2nd)</b>: <i>the Moon remains in protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i> </i><b>all day</b> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday early morning, </b><i>an opportune Sun/Neptune aspect </i>becomes exact at 4:37am EST.<b> We started to feel this aspect from last Sunday on; it will remain strong until this Thursday. </b>This aspect is an opportunity both to dissolve what no longer serves us, and to connect to our intuition. We definitely feel inspired. It’s also a great time to bring a sense of flow and faith to long-term plans.\r\n\r\nOur capacity for compassion (both toward ourselves and others) is quite strong, especially if we are able to acknowledge it. Dreams and reality find a way to work together now -- any spiritual or creative endeavors that are started during this time will most likely do very well -- and it feels great to donate time or money to favored causes.\r\n\r\nRemember that this is an \"opportunity\" -- it isn\'t just handed to us, we have to make it happen.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-14 degrees of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday morning</b>, <b>at 9:13am EST,</b> <i>Uranus comes to a halt in 24.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b>, turning direct again after its 5-month retrograde phase. We\'ve had 5 months to reevaluate certain things: goals, group causes, issues around freedom. We\'ve also reflected on our vision for the future, and where the obstacles to that vision might lie.\r\n\r\nWe are now ready to take into the world all that we have learned and make some progress. Uranus will be back to its usual speed by Jan. 14th; at that point you could say its “Change or be changed” -- change is inevitable, so it might as well be change you’ve chosen consciously. Note that Uranus also rules electronics, technology and the internet; these may all be influenced by the planet\'s slower movement.\r\n\r\n<i>Is your Sun sign or Ascendant in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>? Or do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 22-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Libra, Capricorn</i></b><i> or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel more connected to the Uranus station.</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday at 5:46pm EST, </b>we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 8.5 hours, <b>until 2:23am EST (Wednesday very early morning)</b>. Use this intuitive time to make adjustments and (as best as you can) find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. Make space both for going after your vision and for taking care of emotional or family issues.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday evening and night ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday (Jan. 3rd): </b><i>the Moon remains in protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i> </i>and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">VoC</a><i> </i><b>until 2:23am EST</b> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday at 2:23am EST</b>, <i>the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <b>until Friday very early morning</b><b>. </b>We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising.\r\n\r\nWe all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-) So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can.\r\n\r\nFun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday early afternoon, </b><i>an opportune Venus/Neptune aspect </i>becomes exact at 12:38pm EST.<b> We started to feel this aspect from Monday evening on; it will remain strong until Thursday night. </b>This is an opportunity for compassion and kindness in our social and work-related interactions. We are more attuned to the subtleties of human interaction, and are more inclined to naturally cooperate with others.\r\n\r\nWe tend to \"feel\" each other on an energetic level now, a sensitive approach is therefore recommended. This is also an opportunity for imaginative or romantic interactions. Remember: opportunities are openings; they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in </i><i>10-14 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Taurus</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune rules Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday (Jan. 4th): </b><i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving</i><i> </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> </i><b>all day</b> (see Wednesday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday at 6:10pm EST, </b>we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for 9 hours, <b>until 3:12am EST (Friday very early morning)</b>. During this intuitive time, have fun connecting with others and doing things that bring you joy — explore, take a risk. As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday evening and night ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Friday (Jan. 5th):</b> <i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> </i>and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">VoC</a><i> </i><b>until 3:12am EST</b> (see Wednesday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Friday at 3:12am EST</b>, <i>the Moon moves into detail-oriented, practical</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <b>until Sunday morning</b>; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<b> </b>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday (Jan. 6th): </b><i>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> </i><b>all day</b> (see Friday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday evening, </b><i>a harmonious Mercury/Uranus aspect </i>becomes exact at 6:39pm EST.<b> We started to feel this aspect from Wednesday night on; it will remain strong until next week, Monday night (Jan. 8th) </b>This aspect supports a connection between our higher mind and our day-to-day mind. We are able to receive inspiration from higher places and maybe even look into the future. We are able to communicate our vision for a better future; insights arise from these communications.\r\n\r\nOriginal, creative insights and ideas can appear out of nowhere; as best as you can, stay open to these unique \"downloads\" -- they might change how you see and proceed with life ;-) This is a good time to communicate online, engage in computer-related activities or scientific projects, and also for anything metaphysical. Group activities like Meetups are great things to be involved with right now -- especially if they allow us to share our vision for a better future.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 21-28 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Leo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel especially blessed by this connection. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or</i><b><i> Aquarius </i></b><i>(Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso on<b> Saturday evening, </b><i>a Mars/Jupiter alignment in almost 18 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i>becomes exact at 7:39pm EST.<b> We started to feel this aspect from Monday evening on; it will remain strong until next week, Thursday evening (Jan. 11th). </b>Mars\'s energy combines with Jupiter\'s expansiveness to increase our enthusiasm, liveliness, and optimism.\r\n\r\nWe enjoy travel, flying, the outdoors, competitive work, vigorous exercise and other Jupiter-ruled pursuits a lot more right now -- especially when they also happen to fit in with our deeper emotional desires for connection and the healing of old traumas.\r\n\r\nWe are more likely to bring a self-confident \"can-do\" attitude, even a certain relish, to life\'s deeper issues -- and to any resources shared with others in areas where we exhibit a strong will to excel. We don\'t rest on our laurels: we keep going on to even bigger and better things.\r\n\r\nParticularly when it comes to intimate partnerships and shared financial matters, this could prove a very productive and busy time; indeed, given our capacity for skillfully handling a wide variety of tasks at the same time, we risk overextending. Don\'t worry: Just pace yourself and go after your goals in the most practical and precise manner you can muster... Tomorrow is another day ;-)\r\n\r\nThe last Mars/Jupiter conjunction took place on Oct 17th, 2015. What did you begin then? How could that now be deepened? What if that could now go to the next level? How might that come about?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 15-21 degrees of</i><b><i> Scorpio, Taurus, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday at 9:51pm EST, </b>we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 9.5 hours, <b>until 7:15am EST (Sunday morning)</b>. Do your best to use this intuitive time to make some adjustments in your life and find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations.<b> </b>\r\n\r\nMake space both for looking at your life philosophies, and for organizing your daily routines. As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday late evening and night ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday late evening, </b><i>a challenging Mercury/Chiron aspect </i>becomes exact at 11:06pm EST.<b> We started to feel this aspect from Wednesday night on; it will remain strong until next week, Monday night (Jan. 8th). </b>This combination might bring up some insecurities in our verbal, in-person or email interactions.\r\n\r\nThat said, this could also be an opportunity for healing; we are energized to move past harsh criticism of ourselves or others, towards more loving and compassionate structures for thinking and communicating. As best as you can, stretch yourself -- and be open to bringing love and understanding to it all (and that includes you) :-)\r\n\r\nDue to Mercury\'s Retrograde phase in December, we are experiencing this particular aspect for the <i>third</i> time within the last 6 weeks (the first two times were between Nov. 21st -- 27th and Dec. 7th -- 12th.) As you look back to those time periods, ask yourself: Did any conversations bring up (or even trigger) wounds, hurts, or insecurities from the past? Did I have any insight about myself in regards to those wounds or insecurities? What steps am I ready to take now?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point or any personal planets in 22-28 degrees of Sagittarius, Pisces, Virgo or Gemini? If so, you are more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini or Virgo (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo).</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday (Jan. 7th): </b><i>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> </i>and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">VoC</a><i> </i><b>until 7:15am EST</b> (see Friday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday at 7:15am EST</b>, <i>the Moon moves into relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>, where it will journey<b> until next week, Tuesday afternoon (Jan. 9th). </b>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the last Quarter Moon (which, will be exact Monday early evening...)\r\n\r\n<b>A head\'s up for next</b> <b>Monday (Jan. 8th): </b><i>the Moon remains in relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking</i><i> </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b>(see Sunday morning for details). <b>In the morning, </b><i>an opportune Sun/Jupiter aspect </i>becomes exact at 7:07am EST.<b> We started to feel this aspect from Saturday on; it will remain strong until Wednesday (Jan. 10th). In the late morning, </b><i>an opportune Venus/Jupiter aspect </i>becomes exact at 11:13am EST.<b> We started to feel this aspect from Saturday evening on; it will remain strong until Tuesday night (Jan.9th).  </b>\r\n\r\n<b>Mid-afternoon, </b><i>an opportune Mars/Pluto aspect </i>becomes exact at 2:59pm EST.<b> We started to feel this aspect from Friday evening on; it will remain strong until Thursday evening (Jan. 11th).

Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive.

As best as you can, allow your intuitive body to guide you. Commit to understanding your conditioning and thinking processes.\r\n\r\nIf we take this chance to see things more clearly and connect to ourselves more lovingly, we could get a good dose of reality, and an ability to focus on long-term issues. Remember: opportunities are openings; they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">5-9 degrees</span> of Capricorn, Scorpio, Pisces or Virgo? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (Feb. 22nd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <b><i>Taurus</i></b></em><strong><em> </em>until 7:07pm EST </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 6:46am EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 12.5 hours, <strong>until 7:07pm EST</strong>. Use this intuitive time to ...

You may also want to plan Thursday morning and afternoon ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">(Moon opposes Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 7:07pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <strong>until Saturday late evening</strong><b>.</b> For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way...\r\n\r\nThe one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-) This Moon placement starts the build up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Friday very early morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (Feb. 23rd):</strong> <em>the </em><i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b></strong>(see Thursday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday very early morning, at 3:09am EST, </strong><i>the first Quarter Moon in <span style=\"color: #993300;\">4.5 degrees</span> of </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> </i>becomes exact (<b>we <strong>started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered <em>Gemini</em> on Thursday evening</strong>). </b>The Moon in chatty, versatile <b>Gemini</b> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in sensitive, compassionate <b>Pisces.</b>\r\n\r\nLast week (Feb. 15th) saw a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse. If we set some intentions on Feb. 17th, 18th or 19th, we are now ready to make some adjustments. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. In fact, we may feel compelled to act, stirring up anxiety or overwhelm, so just go one breath at a time.\r\n\r\nRemember, we\'re still in Eclipse Season, and thus don\'t have all the information we need to move brand-new projects forward yet. Allow for changes, remain flexible and adaptable, find creative solutions in day-to-day interactions with others. Allow for new downloads and for the release of “old” codes and conditioning. Simply put: an open mind and heart will serve us best (that\'s true in general, but especially true until Feb. 25th ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 2-7 degrees of</i><b><i> Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (February 24th): </strong><em>the </em><i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b></strong><strong><em> </em>until 10:06pm EST </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 2:58pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 10:06pm EST.</strong> Use this intuitive time to ... As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-) (Moon sextiles Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 10:06pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Monday late evening (Feb. 26th)</strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, otherwise you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (February 25th): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><em><i>protective, nurturing</i></em><strong><em><i> </i>Cancer </em>all day </strong>(see Saturday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Venus/Mars aspect </em>becomes exact at 7:01am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday night (Feb. 27th). </strong>This aspect asks that we stretch ourselves with regard to the feminine/masculine dynamic as it manifests both “inside” and “outside”: A shift needs to occur.\r\n\r\nThis can show up in several ways, either through romantic and sexual tensions that we might experience with others. We may tease each other, flirt with each other and/or play hard to get. Or we may find ourselves arguing in a very passionate way with the opposite sex. Competitiveness, anger, frustration, or angst might be present. Either way, this can be a very passionate time.\r\n\r\nBalancing and integrating masculine and feminine energies within ourselves would be very useful at this time.\r\n\r\nIf we experience these energies internally, there may be a desire for adventure -- or just for being still and \"adventuring\" into ourselves, our heart-space, our inner universe. The challenge might be that we feel pulled in two directions -- on the one hand, we want to feel \"one\" with others, and connect through love and kindness... While on the other hand, we want to be free and explore something new, outside of our familiar environment.\r\n\r\nWhat might it look like, if you made room for both of these energies?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in 15-22 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra or Aries</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars is the ruler of Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Neptune alignment in 13.5 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:26am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Monday night (Feb. 26th). </strong>This aspect could take our connection to our intuition even deeper, if we allow it.\r\n\r\nSpiritual and creative endeavors are highly recommended during this time -- especially those involving music or creative writing. This is definitely a highly imaginative time. As best as you can, go with the flow and -- just for now -- let go of wanting to figure it all out.\r\n\r\nThe highest vibration of this aspect is idealistic, highly intuitive and romantic; on a lower level vibration, we might not see reality clearly and we might easily feel overwhelmed. We might get confused or disappointed; things might seem a little foggy, especially when it comes to communication, processing information, public transportation or daily traffic.\r\n\r\nCheck in with others before signing any documents or making long-term decisions for those three days: get reality checks! As best as you can, let go and let flow ;-) On the other hand, trust the divine timing of things and have faith that everything will turn out exactly as it needs to.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of  </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Sun/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 12:46pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (Feb. 27th). </strong>This aspect provides an opportunity to become aware of what needs to happen if we are to accomplish something concrete.\r\n\r\nWe have common sense at our disposal; we are willing to look reality in the eye, and take responsibility for our lives and how we connect to it. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">This is an opportunity to be more aware of our heart connection to the divine and our intuitive selves, and how this can benefit our long-term goals and what we are focusing on in the here and now.</span> Again, remember: opportunities are openings, they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 5-9 degrees</i><b><i> </i></b><i>of </i><b><i>Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Sunday, </strong><em> </em><i>Jupiter starts to slow down (station) as it reaches 23 degrees of </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Scorpio</strong><i>, preparing for its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. </i>Jupiter will come to a halt on March 8th;<i> </i>its <i>station-phase</i> last <b>until March 20th.</b> We will feel its energy more forcefully during the station-phase.\r\n\r\nWe start to be more fully aware of Jupiter\'s energy; this awareness helps us to get more connected to those energies within us. We get to see where we need to embrace them more fully, so that we can use them in a healthy way, without getting lost in the lower vibrations of their expression.\r\n\r\n<b>Until March 20th</b>, we have to face what this planet is trying to communicate to us: Jupiter represents our desire to seek insight through knowledge. Some of this planet\'s keywords include: morality; gratitude; hope; honor; the law. Jupiter is the planet of possibility, optimism and growth (including mental and spiritual growth). Jupiter is also associated with a sense of humor, goodwill, and mercy.\r\n\r\nThe lower expressions of Jupiter include \"Oh, the heck with it\", \"I deserve this and more\", \"the rules do not apply to me\" -- generally speaking: too much of a good thing, blind optimism, excess, stretching the truth, overindulgence.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">21-25 degrees</span> of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Taurus, Leo or Aquarius</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this station phase. This is also true for those of us who have our</i><i> or Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter rules Sagittarius, so Sagittarius will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\nAlso on<strong> Sunday, </strong><em>Eclipse Season ends</em> that started on January 21st.

I could definitely feel the Eclipse energies... and self-care was soooo very needed.\r\n\r\n<b>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have an important announcement:\r\n</b>Good news! As some of you already know, my online community has launched! I have been working on this for quite a while, and I am so excited that the day has finally come that I can introduce this to all of you!

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday</strong><b> afternoon</b>, our focus intensifies -- we might even get a little obsessed with a project or task -- as best as you can, take breaks and don\'t forget to practice a little self-care ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday evening,</strong> we get the opportunity to investigate our deepest motivations and align them with our long-term goals and achievements (if we are awake at this time, of course). We are capable of great focus for the next couple of hours. As with all opportunities in life, this one is not simply handed to us, we have to make something of it. Might deeper perspectives into your psyche move you closer to long-term goals?\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday (Feb. 13<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> <i>the Moon remains in practical, </i><i>accomplishment-oriented</i><i> </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> <b>until 10:11am EST</b> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday very early morning,</b> <b>at 12:43am EST,</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for about 9.5 hours, <b>until 10:11am EST</b>.You may be aware of two seemingly conflicting desires: On the one hand, a need for serious, diligent accomplishment -- and on the other, a desire to break free and rebel against obligations.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take some breaks, and \"let your freak flag fly\" -- just for a moment -- and revel in it! As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your morning ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday at 10:11 am EST</b> <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> where it will be <b>until Thursday evening</b>. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday early evening</b> a <i>challenging Mercury/Jupiter aspect</i> becomes exact at 5:39 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from</b> <b>Sunday and it will be strong until Thursday. </b>This aspect asks that we grow and evolve in the following areas: how we communicate our vision for the future and how much we share with others. We may have to find creative solutions to communicate; we may have to learn about our thinking process and conditioning.\r\n\r\nWe want to share ourselves without limitation. We are thus inclined to exaggeration, often unintended -- and might struggle to transform ideas into reality. The upside to all this: we can be extraordinarily funny, interesting and creative.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday </b><i>an opportune Sun/Uranus aspect</i><b> </b>becomes exact at 9:23pm EST. <b>We started to feel this aspect Sunday evening on, and it will be strong until Thursday night. </b>We have the opportunity to become aware of an original or unique approach to life. Flexibility is the key to success at this time; pleasant changes may be in store -- certainly unexpected ones ;-)\r\n\r\nWhat is your uniqueness? How could you express that proudly and authentically? As best as you can, watch out for messages from the Universe! Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us: We have to \"realize\" it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo</i></b><i> or</i><b><i> Aquarius </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday (Feb. 14<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> (Valentine’s Day) <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>all day</b> (see Tuesday late morning for details)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday morning</strong> is an opportunity to connect with others and explore actively the things that can bring us progress.\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday </b>is also the <i>last day before the Solar Eclipse in</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact. There is some potent energy coming our way; it would be wise to prepare ourselves to be transformed by it, allowing for our consciousness upgrade to be installed.\r\n\r\nThis is a good time to slow things down and go within. For many of us, this will be a stretch, as we want to do just the opposite: jump the gun, get started with something new, act impulsively, etc. This is quite common right before a Solar Eclipse. As best as you can, stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions and connect to your inner wisdom.\r\n\r\nIt comes down to this: just for now and just as best as you can... could you simply allow what is... to be? Could you simply be the “observer” until the upgrade is complete?\r\n\r\nRather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing things. Think back to late Aug. 2017 -- the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo. What did you start around then? How could you complete it, or move it to the next level?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take the days immediately before and after the Eclipse for meditation, contemplation, journaling — anything that supports an objective understanding of your own thoughts and visions.\r\n\r\nOf course if, like most of us, you have other obligations: take 5-minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, get quiet and be with yourself (i.e. your inspirational Self, your higher mind). Ask yourself: What might become possible if you gave this to yourself on a regular basis?\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday (Feb. 15<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>) </b>is a big day! <i>The Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>until 9:42pm EST</b> (see Tuesday late morning for details)\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday morning</b> an <i>opportune Mercury/Uranus aspect</i> becomes exact at 10:07am EST. <b>We started to feel this from aspect from Wednesday on, and it will be strong until Friday</b>.This is an opportunity to connect our thinking and communication to a brighter, more collaborative vision for the future.\r\n\r\nIt also brings an opportunity for insight, novelty, and some really unusual conversations. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to realize it.\r\n\r\nThis aspect also brings an opportunity to view things from a different perspective or put a new spin on \"old\" thinking. We like to connect in unusual ways; any group activities or brainstorming with like-minded people could generate amazing insights -- this might be a busy day. As best as you can, or want to... stay open to other dimensions ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> <i>(Mercury is the ruler of Virgo and Gemini; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\nOn <b>Thursday at 4:05pm EST, </b><i>a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse in 27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> becomes exact. </i>This is the beginning of both a new Moon cycle and an Eclipse cycle.  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\nEclipses take place approximately every 6 months; <i>Solar Eclipses</i> are extra-powerful New Moons that end one 19-year cycle and begin another — the last Solar Eclipse in this same degree of Aquarius was back on Feb. 16th, 1999. We are likely to experience a resonance between now and that time — \"resonant\", rather than identical — so think back to the Spring of 1999:\r\n\r\nWere there any major endings and beginnings? What was important back then? If there were a call this time to take those priorities to the next level… Where would that next level find you?\r\n\r\nIf you\'re looking for more guidance on those questions, I would suggest taking a look at your Natal Chart: the House placement of the Eclipse will indicate which area of life is the readiest for a new level of consciousness.\r\n\r\nIf that idea appeals, I suggest checking out my <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">30-minute class, \"How to Read My Birth Chart”</a> -- you might also want to purchase the video of the most recent <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">Forecasting Forum</a> -- we looked directly at our own birth charts to see how this Solar Eclipse will affect each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar, available <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">on my website</a>).\r\n\r\nOr...\r\n\r\n<b>Get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, <b>plus</b> a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\r\n\r\nAlthough we have experienced several Eclipses in the Leo/Aquarius polarity since last year, this will be the <i>first Solar Eclipse in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>. This points to a new beginning of some sort, with the visionary Aquarian energy impacting the area of life indicated by its house placement in our individual birth charts.\r\n\r\nSolar Eclipses reveal pathways that can take us to the next level of our evolution. They herald shifts in consciousness; the shift connected with this particular Eclipse will unfold over the next 6 months.\r\n\r\nThe Sun and Moon are connected to one of the Moon Nodes during an Eclipse; in this case, the South Node -- and <i>South Node Eclipses</i> can help us release energies or attachments that no longer serve our Soul’s evolution. Again, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">feel free to check out my webinar about the Eclipses</a> to see where this new beginning and next level of your Soul\'s evolution takes place for you.\r\n\r\nEclipses are Uranian in nature; as such, they are times of uncertainty -- so pretty much anything could happen <b>between now and the end of Eclipse season (Feb. 25th).</b>\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, stay both grounded <i>and</i> flexible — and don\'t jump the gun: If you feel compelled to do something, do your best to simply observe the urge. The exception might be something that happens organically -- but if you are ambivalent about a possible action, better hold off at least until the end of Eclipse Season (Feb. 25th).\r\n\r\nEclipses bring major endings and beginnings. As best you can, trust that whatever is leaving is making space for something better -- the more willing we are to change, the easier it will be.\r\n\r\nThat said, projects and interactions that got underway prior to Eclipse season (i.e. before Jan. 21st) are another matter -- don’t stop your life just because it is Eclipse season ;-) Pay attention also to anything that got started at the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo, in August of last year.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Do I have a better understanding of what brings me joy? Am I more courageous and self-expressed?\r\n\r\nWith the <i>Solar Eclipse</i> in <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>, we have our eye on the future. The highest vibration of Aquarius gives us the opportunity to see a clear vision for our life -- and we are ready to make huge improvements.\r\n\r\n<strong>Aquarius</strong> also deals with the power of ideals, technology, and inventions. We are interested in the collective focus on changing group consciousness; we strive for equality, collaboration, progress. This eclipse invites us to bring this higher vibration to our ability to be courageous and joyful in our own right.\r\n\r\n<i>South Node Eclipses</i> invite us to become aware of the lower vibrations of a sign, so we can release those energies or attachments that no longer serve our evolution, and move toward the higher vibration of the sign -- in this case, that would obviously be Aquarius -- so what do the lower Aquarian vibrations look and feel like?\r\n\r\nAt a lower <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, we feel like outsiders -- as though we don\'t fit in, are maybe a little <i>too</i> different. We want to rebel against social structures that don\'t fit with our vision.\r\n\r\nWe get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not take responsibility for our part in the collective -- when we do not honor our individual genius, our unique contribution to society or our communities. Ask yourself:\r\n\r\nWhat stops me from connecting to my inner genius? What if I allowed myself to be both different <i>and</i> connected to others? What if taking responsibility for \"how things are\" was the perfect jump-start for a better future?\r\n\r\nTo move even further into that higher <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, try also asking yourself the following questions: Where am I called to make a difference? What could I, as an individual, do for humanity? And how might group consciousness help humanity make progress? Where can I begin?\r\n\r\nEvery single one of us has a special gift, a spark unique to us; when we access our inner genius and share it with the world, we can make quantum leaps of insight and embark on remarkable collaborations with others. Ask yourself: How does my inner genius communicate? Where does it want to show up?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) currently in <strong>Aries</strong>, sextiles the Sun, Moon, and Mercury in <strong>Aquarius</strong>. </i>This is a tremendous opportunity for all of us to become more aware of our individual impact on the collective: We are all agents of change. Already. Always.\r\n\r\nRight now, our individual capacity to effect change is far greater than we realize — especially for those of us with Uranus, Aquarius, or 11th house planets strongly emphasized in our birth chart — and when we team up with others who also care deeply about creating a better future, we can create real change.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How can I inspire others to foster progress? What becomes possible when we all connect with the intention to create meaningful change for everyone? For all living things?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong> squares the Solar Eclipse, sextiles Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, and trines Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong>. </i>This combo invites us to stretch ourselves for the duration of this Eclipse cycle -- to grow beyond what we currently know ourselves to be -- it supports our ability to build a more meaningful future and allows us to engage more fully in our current healing process.\r\n\r\nHere\'s a good start: We all have \"survival tactics\" we formed in response to past circumstances. Ask yourself: What if I expanded my awareness and comprehension of my personal survival tactics by just 5%? What might a new perspective on my fears and defenses show me? What if I relentlessly questioned old beliefs about intimate or financial partnerships? What might I discover about what has become true in the meantime? If I genuinely allowed this insight to change my behaviors and expectations, what might that look like?\r\n\r\nAs always when Chiron is involved, aim for wholeness, forgiveness — above all, keep a courageously open heart — our light shines all the brighter when all of our authentic self is visible, even the shadowy parts :-)\r\n\r\n<i>Eclipses</i> are a time for clarifying and affirming our highest path. We are bound to experience a release -- and a recalibration: “old” codes will get deleted and new programming downloaded. This is especially true when connected with our vision for the future (and for the collective).\r\n\r\nSuppressing or denying the unique gifts we each bring to the collective experience is even less wise than before; we are more aware than ever that we <b>are interconnected</b> and thus every single one of us contributes to the human experience and is capable of making a difference on this shared journey.\r\n\r\nSince Eclipse season continues until Feb. 25th, I highly recommend again that you treat yourself to the video of my most recent <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">Forecasting Forum</a> (<a href=\"https://goo.gl/uB8R7j\">https://goo.gl/uB8R7j</a>) -- we covered the Eclipses, including this Solar Eclipse in <b>Aquarius</b>, looking directly at our own birth charts to see how this affects each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">on my website</a>).\r\n\r\nOr...\r\n\r\nYou may recall that I now offer membership plans -- you could <b>get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, plus a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum, by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\r\n\r\n<b>Between now and Feb. 25th</b>, allow for the new templates to download; stay centered and do your best to ground from within. Try using conscious breathing, flexibility -- and best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body… And if nothing else, remember: this won\'t last forever -- in another two weeks, the downloads are complete ;-)  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">Again, I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in one of the following placements: 22-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, Scorpio, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly.</i>\r\n\r\nNow let’s talk “Intentions” :-) Regular readers will know that we usually use the time of the New Moon to set intentions for the coming month.\r\n\r\nWith a Solar Eclipse, we want to <b>wait 48 hours before setting our intentions </b>-- in Saturdays Forecast, I’ll be talking about setting some powerful intentions, not just for the next month as is usual for a New Moon, but for the next <i>six</i> months -- and I\'ll give you the very best times for setting them. <i></i>\r\n<i></i>\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Thursday late afternoon, at 4:05pm EST,</b> at the same time as the New Moon becomes exact, we also enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 6 hours, <b>until 9:42 pm EST</b>. Use this intuitive time to go within and meditate or pray/give thanks/converse with your higher Self.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your Thursday evening ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday evening,  </b><i>an opportune Venus/Saturn aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:19 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday night and it will stay strong until Saturday. </b>This aspect gives us an opportunity to bring a sense of realism to our relationships, values, and financial affairs: We are more able to see what really needs to be dealt with in those areas and take responsibility for our handling of them.\r\n\r\nOn a financial level, we have an opportunity to see more clearly when and how we might make long-term investments. There\'s no need to rush anything; think it through carefully and responsibly -- do the \"due diligence\". Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us, we have to \"take\" it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 4-8 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)</i>.\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday evening at 9:42 pm EST,</b> <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces,</i></b><i> </i>where it will journey <b>until Sunday morning</b>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<b>Friday (Feb. 16<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>) </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <b>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday morning</strong>, we get an opportunity to be wholly present -- and also to focus on practicalities and long-term plans. As best as you can, bring a sense of flow and faith to your business dealings.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning</strong>, we have a chance to connect with other people from our compassionate heart. If we heed intuition and allow for all things to flow freely, we may discover that the Universe is always taking care of us ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late evening,</strong> we feel a need to go within and slow down -- and at the same time, we also want to move fast and have new experiences. This tension clearly invites us to stretch a little, and to seek resolution via creative solutions -- the key here is to listen to our intuition, so we don\'t drive ourselves or others crazy.\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Friday late evening,</strong> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday</strong> is also Chinese New Year. I am not very well-versed in Chinese astrology, so I\'ll just share an excerpt from a newsletter I received last week: \"Today is the start of the Chinese year of the Earth Dog. In Chinese tradition, Earth dogs are faithful, considerate and well-disciplined.\" -- Astro Butterfly\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday (Feb. 17<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>): </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday morning,</b> <i>a challenging Mars/Neptune aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:20 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Sunday evening and it will be strong until next week Thursday morning</b>. This aspect is asking us to stretch ourselves, in order to resolve a tension between the things we want to go after, versus our feelings about a higher, spiritual calling. We may be chasing a dream... or a fantasy.\r\n\r\nOrdinary life may seem drab and uninteresting to us right now. We tend to either over- or underestimate our own power and abilities. We want something that stirs our imagination: Some vision or ideal or dream to motivate us.\r\n\r\nWe have a strong urge to act out our fantasies or live out our dream -- and we have the energy now to DO that which others only talk or dream about -- but we tend to feel scattered. As best as you can, slow down and listen to your intuition before aimlessly zooming ahead. Inspire yourself and others.\r\n\r\n<i>Most impacted by this aspect: those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 10-16 degrees of</i><b><i> Sagittarius, Pisces</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Gemini, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday early morning, </b><i>a Sun/Mercury alignment</i> <i>in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact at 7:27 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday evening on, and it will be strong until next week Tuesday evening. </b>This aspect indicates a confident mind and an analytical approach to life. Intelligence and communication abilities are strong at this time; however, we may not listen as well as the other speaks -- we might be too busy thinking about what to say next.\r\n\r\nGiven that this alignment takes place in <strong>Aquarius</strong>, we may feel particularly cool and collected, detached even -- do your best to avoid arrogance or rigidity of thought.\r\n\r\nWe want an active role in communications -- it\'s very hard for us to passively listen and absorb information right now. What we say or write now is impactful, so choose your words wisely: If people hung on your every word, what would you say then? What would you hold back from saying?\r\n\r\nOur opinions are strong and our thinking independent -- and we\'re proud of both -- so our egos may get bruised if we don\'t feel \"heard\". As best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have a different opinion and that\'s ok.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 26-29 degrees of  </i><strong><i>Aquarius, Leo, Scorpio, Taurus, </i></strong><i>or</i><strong><i> </i></strong><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\">Pisces, Virgo, </b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo, Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday</b><b> afternoon (after 4:05pm EST)</b> is also the best time to set<i> our powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse Intentions</i>. Doing so during a Solar Eclipse is a little different from the regular monthly New Moon process: we are setting those intentions for the whole 6-month Eclipse cycle, rather than just for the next 28 days.\r\n\r\nSo when is the best time to do this? With a Solar Eclipse it is best to wait 48 hours after the Eclipse has been exact before setting any intentions; as always, we also want to avoid any <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> phases.\r\n\r\nThis gives us two \"windows\" for our 6-month intention-setting (all times are EST, which is the New York timezone):\r\n\r\nThe first window is on <b>Saturday, Feb. 17th, between 4:05pm and 5:14pm.</b>\r\n\r\nThe<b> </b>second would be <b>between 7:05am on Sunday, Feb. 18th, and 4:05pm the following day (Monday, Feb. 19th). </b>\r\n\r\nMake them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the <strong>Aquarian</strong> energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nThis Solar Eclipse reminds us that to be fully alive requires us to constantly stretch, grow, and change. So, while writing your intentions, ask yourself: What would it take for me to release old patterns from the past? How might that free me to create a more powerful vision for the future?\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday early evening,</b> <b>at 5:14 pm EST,</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 14 hours, <b>until 7:05 am EST (Sunday morning)</b>. Use this intuitive time to explore any beliefs connected to past experiences that left you feeling disempowered: How could a compassionate approach to the past allow for a new perspective?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your Saturday evening and Sunday early morning ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Late Saturday evening at 11:28 pm EST </b><i>Mercury changes signs from freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> to creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i>.</b> It will journey through Pisces until <b>March 6<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b>. We are moving from the mind into the heart. For these next two weeks, we get a chance to communicate with compassion -- we see the commonalities between us all, rather than what separates us.\r\n\r\nWe seem to be connected to Source more easily during this time -- if we allow that energy to come through -- and our thinking will be very creative, imaginative and intuitive.\r\n\r\nThe key with this energy is to remain in the “here and now” and open up to a higher vibration. If we can do that, we will be able to download information from an intuitive place, rather than thinking things through. This could also be the reason why our mind is slowing down a bit and why we speak more softly.\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> also offers us an opportunity to let go of any mental structures, conditionings or fears that are no longer serving us. If you are not connected to your intuition, you may want to double check with other people, before signing any documents or buying any big-ticket items. Are you ready to connect to your intuition more fully? Can you allow for the unfolding process, trusting your higher Self more fully?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more talkative during this time. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you may need to learn to surrender to a slower pace and connect more fully to your heart and intuition.  </i>\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday (Feb. 18<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>): </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><b> </b>and<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><b> until 7:05am EST.</b>\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday morning at 7:05 am EST </b><i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries,</i></b> where it will remain <b>until Tuesday afternoon</b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday afternoon at 12:18 pm</b> <i>the Sun moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> where it will remain <b>until March 20th. </b>This brings our awareness to our sense of oneness with everyone and everything around us. We feel like sponges, able to pick up all energy around us; this also makes us more sensitive and emotional. We are more drawn towards expressing ourselves in a creative or spiritual way.\r\n\r\nMusic or energy healing gives us vitality and can heighten our own personal vibrations. We need to slow down a little and listen to our intuition more fully -- if we ignore our feelings and the subtle messages we are getting, we will most likely feel more anxious and somewhat frustrated. This could also be connected to the slow pace that our body or our surroundings are demanding of us.\r\n\r\nThe keyword here is \"allowing\": as best as you can, be aware of what you are resisting, moment to moment, and create some space -- allow it to be as it is. Notice when you are picking up someone else\'s feelings rather than your own.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces </i></b><i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, your vitality will depend on allowing things to flow and being gentle with yourself.</i>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\">Last but not least, </span><b>Sunday </b><span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\"><b>after </b></span><b>7:05am EST, </b> you have all day to set your Solar Eclipse <span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\">Intentions. </span>Make them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the <strong>Aquarian</strong> energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>.

Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery. </span><!--more-->\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, be truthful with yourself about where you are at: Do you actually have a realistic view about what is so, right now, in your life? Not what you wish it to be or what you would like it to be or where you see yourself going.... What is so right now? Once you know where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\", whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday very early morning, </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">becomes exact at 1:59am EST.</span><b> We started to feel this aspect from Friday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday morning. </b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Until Friday, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">23-27 degrees</span> of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday late evening: </b><i>an opportune long-term Jupiter/Pluto aspect </i>that we <b>started to feel back on Tuesday Jan. 3rd becomes exact at 11:13pm EST; it will remain strong until Wednesday, Jan. 31st </b>and brings with it an opportunity to deepen our relationships, business and personal alike. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">A positive attitude and deeper trust in our connections with others gives us the chance to build something meaningful and share our passions with them. We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support professional or personal goals. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: Where could I really dig in to solve a problem? How might passion help deliver on my long-term goals? How could other people\'s resources support my ability to create transformation? How might they help me stand in my power?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><b><i> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">17-21 degrees</span> </i></b><i>of</i><b><i> Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces </i></b><i>or <strong>Virgo</strong></i><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces). </i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday (Jan. 16th): </b><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>t</em><b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">he Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</span></i></b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day </b></span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">(see Monday for details).</span> </span></span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday evening, at 9:17pm ES</b>T<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,</span><em> the Moon aligns with the Sun in almost 27 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong>, </em>launching </span><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">a new Moon cycle.</span> </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is a good time to go within, to seed anything we would like to accomplish for the next 28 days, and maybe even beyond. The next section of this forecast will dig in to this in more detail; you may also want to <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/commitments-integrity/\">watch my New Moon video</a> :-) </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is the first New Moon of the year and since <strong>Capricorn</strong> represents the quest for mastery on the physical plane, some useful questions you can ask yourself include: </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">What is my relationship to the physical? Do I respect the laws of matter? Am I going about things in a realistic way? How committed am I really? Where does my inner compass point? What am I willing to undergo to overcome adversity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The highest vibration of <strong>Capricorn</strong> is the development of responsibility, resourcefulness, reliability, self-mastery, the ability to set realistic goals and healthy boundaries. The next 28 days are a perfect time to work on these areas. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, prepare for the future, make commitments and recognize responsibilities -- in other words, nurture your dreams in a realistic manner. Focus on setting and achieving practical and attainable long-term goals, one step at a time, one day at a time -- this is not about immediate results, it\'s about the quality of the foundation you are building.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> also invites us to set the kind of realistic limits and boundaries that allow everyone involved to learn from the consequences of their choices. Where in my life am I able to set realistic limits and boundaries? Where is that an obstacle in your life? What am I afraid of in those moments? What would be the worst of that?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> relates directly to the level of our maturity: We start out on a more instinctual, survival level; this stage is basically fear-based, with a scarcity mentality. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Once we get better at living on the earth plane -- and we understand the rules better -- we transition to goal-oriented ambition and self-challenge, seeking recognition and rewards. This phase is still sometimes fear-based, but already we are taking more responsibility for our part in achieving things, and we are manifesting on the physical plane. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Eventually, as we grow spiritually and learn more about the laws of matter, earthly ambitions are often replaced by some form of spiritual service. We recognize that personal gain is not the only (or even the highest) goal, we see that when we contribute to others, we are also giving to ourselves -- perhaps we also surpass the physical appearance of separation and connect to life in it\'s highest form.</span> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">At this level, we are living in pure accordance with our conscience, from a place of maturity and inner guidance.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: What if I developed 5% more discipline? Integrity? What about 5% more commitment towards something that aligns both with myself and with life itself? What would 100% responsibility for my life look like? What if I responded to situations in a way that respects and serves all those involved? </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">  </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> <em>This New Moon aligns with Venus and Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong> and squares Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>.</em> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">First let\'s focus on the alignment with Venus and Pluto: This conveys an extra-potent message about our perception of physical reality -- time and space -- and about our relationship to love, our values, power or feeling empowered. Ask yourself: If I truly had choice in the matter, what kind of future would I choose to step into? Who would I choose to connect with? Why? Who would I not choose to connect with? Why not?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Venus in conjunction with the New Moon</em> advises us to choose wisely and from the heart. Ask yourself: Am I true to myself? Am I working too hard without making enough progress? Am I expressing my feelings truthfully? Or hiding my true feelings from others? Am I in touch with what\'s important to me -- especially in regards to relationships? Am I happy? Could I love and respect myself and life 5% more?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">With this many planets in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, it is important for us to take breaks — or simply slow down and allow ourselves to tune in. It’s important to explore ways to stay heart-centered and grounded -- seek tools or people to help you with that exploration. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Now let\'s talk about <em>the square to Uranus</em> -- the energy of freedom, innovation and reform. This combo focuses our attention on the right use of power -- which respects the rights, needs, and gifts of all beings. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: Where do I need to be more courageous? Where do I need to \"think different\"? What if I became 5% more aware of my personal power? Where might I have given it away to others? And how might I begin to reclaim it? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Remember that change is not always progress. Consider all options first and then respond, rather than reacting; stay flexible and be willing to entertain new possibilities. What if -- in small or large ways -- I could help birth a new age, and with it a new world, one based on heart-centered consciousness and individual freedoms?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>The New Moon also sextiles Mars in <strong>Scorpio</strong> and Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong></em>. This is an opportunity to heal our collective wounds around any sense of spiritual disconnection in our world of accomplishments. We get a chance to connect more deeply with others and bring a powerful approach to what we are building and working towards. Our actions tend to be in greater alignment with our deepest desires.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: What if I could be both productive <em>and</em> gentle with myself at the same time? What would a compassionate approach make possible? What is pushing or pulling at me? How could my actions become a source of empowerment? What if I allowed all actions to flow from a deep sense of authentic connectedness? What if I forgave myself and others for having flaws or limitations?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Given that it rules <strong>Capricorn</strong>, <em>Saturn\'s placement in its own sign</em> plays an important role with this New Moon -- and if you\'d like to know how Saturn\'s journey in <strong>Capricorn</strong> will impact you personally over the next three years, feel free to check out my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, available for purchase <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-recorded-webinars/\">on my website</a> (or check out a<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/5067/\"> 30-minute excerpt for free :-)</a></span>\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Saturn conjuncts Mercury while in <strong>Capricorn</strong></em>. This reminds us of the power of our mind -- that our thoughts and words matter. What am I doing, career-wise? What is the long-term plan? How can I honor and share those goals with others in a clear and honest way? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">It\'s time to think seriously about what no longer works. As best as you can, investigate your thought processes: What no longer feels useful in my approach? What if I got real about that? What might be possible if I took 5% more responsibility for my inner dialog, and the energy those thoughts disperse?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>To sum all of this up:</strong> We are invited to become mature, responsible planetary citizens, while honoring our individuality -- in other words, making a difference, one by one -- even when it seems as though we are too little to create a big shift on our own. No matter how small an action may seem, every pebble makes a ripple...</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This cosmic combo also directs our attention to our bottom lines. What matters most to me? What are my priorities? Am I living my truth, and thus loving my goals? Where is it best to be flexible, and where must I remain focused and in alignment with my commitments? When have I felt the happiest? What if I committed 5% more to the things, people and places in my life that make me happy? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Inner strength and self-reliance come almost entirely from adversity; obstacles are the part of life that show us where we have an opportunity to become more capable and where we have drifted from contact with outer reality or inner truth. Am I on the right track, as best as I can tell? Am I walking my own path? Or someone else\'s? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">What obstacles can I see or sense from here? What if there was value in those obstacles? Could I send them gratitude for being given the opportunity to get back into greater alignment with myself and reality?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Choose wisely for 2018 and beyond. Participate consciously in the evolution of existence on this planet, not from fear, but from knowledge of your inner strength and personal power -- the power of your heart and your humanity! Trust your inner truth!</span>\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are also about to enter Eclipse season, as the first of two Eclipses becomes exact on Jan. 31st; I\'ll be talking more about this in my next Monthly Forecasting Forum on Feb. 3rd.

This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">But... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">It\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days. </span> <b></b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Friday evening, </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an opportune Mercury/Neptune aspect </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">becomes exact at 8:08pm EST.</span><b> We started to feel this aspect from Thursday morning on; it will remain strong until Saturday night.</b></span> <span style=\"color: #000000;\">This aspect gives us the opportunity to bring compassion and an intuitive approach to our thinking process. Having faith and connecting to our Higher Selves will be of service to us at this time. Any artistic or spiritual endeavors are likely to do well at this time. Music might help us with our thinking process and ability to get things done. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Let yourself be inspired! A book, a song, a movie, someone else\'s words… allow the Universe to speak to you. Open your mind to a higher vibration -- and remember, opportunities are openings... they aren\'t necessarily handed to us... we have to \"take\" them and make something of them. Is there anything that came up around 16 days ago that needs to be readdressed? If so, this is your chance... ;-)</span>\r\n\r\n<em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 10-14 degrees of <strong>Capricorn, Pisces, Scorpio </strong>or<strong> Taurus</strong>?

As an <strong>Aquarius</strong>, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a <strong>Leo</strong>, you are more objective than usual…working towards a vision for the future might be just the thing for you to do.</em></span><b></b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Saturday (Jan. 20th): </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Moon remains in <em>creative, sensitive</em> </span></i><b><i>Pisces </i></b><b>all day </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(see Friday afternoon for details). </span></span>\r\n\r\n<b></b><i></i><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Saturday afternoon</strong>: we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little.

You may also want to plan Sunday evening and night ahead of time ;-) </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Last but not least, also on <strong>Sunday</strong>, we enter <em>Eclipse season</em> <strong>until Feb. 25th</strong>; for 10 days before and after an Eclipse, we are usually in uncharted territory: anything is possible and it\'s wise to expect the unexpected. <span style=\"color: #800000;\">Feel free to watch my video about the upcoming Lunar Eclipse (will be posted by Jan. 24th).</span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Anything brand-new (and I really mean brand, brand-new) started during this time will likely not pan out the way we thought it would, often because important information comes to light only after the New Moon that follows the last Eclipse. If possible, try to defer any major brand-new projects <strong>until after Feb. 25th,</strong> when this Eclipse season is over. If something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic… allow it to be.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Another Eclipse-related phenomenon: not only do Eclipses bring up uncertainty in us, they might also leave us nervous, anxious, unsettled and disoriented. As best as you can, observe your feelings and stay grounded in the \"here and now\". Connect to your intuition and inner wisdom; they will help carry you through this period. Remember: it\'s temporary and we are receiving an upgrade -- that\'s a good thing!</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Just like upgrading a computer, you will get all the information you need, as soon as the upgrade is complete -- so as best you can, be patient. This does not mean that we need to drop everything; it just means it\'s wise to check in with your higher Self -- do this whichever way feels right to you ;-) </span>\r\n\r\n<b>A head\'s up for next</b> <b>Monday (Jan. 22nd): </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Moon remains in <em>creative, sensitive</em> </span></i><b><i>Pisces </i></b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and </span><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">VoC</span></a><b> until 1:27am EST </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(see Friday afternoon for details). </span><b>At 1:27am EST</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, </span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Moon moves into </span></i><b><i>Aries</i></b><b>, where it will journey until Wednesday morning.

So much going on...\r\n\r\nFirstly, the Moon remains in relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking Libra all day. It will journey there until Tuesday afternoon, where it will help us be naturally courteous and diplomatic -- we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the last Quarter Moon (which, will be exact Monday early evening...)\r\n\r\nMonday morning, an opportune Sun/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 7:07am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday. We might want to take advantage of the opportunities this aspect provides -- it\'s an excellent time for creating deeper intimate connections, resolving conflicts with others, having fun and boosting our self-confidence. In fact, we may well feel particularly vital and confident -- and inner optimism can bring rewards.\r\n\r\nHumor can be a big part of this aspect too: We are able to laugh whole-heartedly, and see nothing but possibility in our lives, especially in our intimate relationships and our shared resources with others. This could bring a healthy shift of attitude toward our relationships -- whether personal or business.\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\nImagine you have a special lens which showed you the \"bigger picture\"... What would your relationships look like when you gazed through it?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in 16-20 degrees of Capricorn, Scorpio, Virgo or Pisces? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Sagittarius (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).\r\n\r\nMonday late morning, an opportune Venus/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 11:13am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday evening on; it will remain strong until this Tuesday night. We have an opportunity to grow in our social and personal relationships at this time. Humor and caring play a big role in our interactions with others.\r\n\r\nWe can call upon tolerance, optimism and co-operation when dealing with loved ones or business relationships now. Financially speaking, things are \"on the up\"; we may have opportunities now to expand our pocketbooks -- if we make sound decisions that are in the interest of everyone involved.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-20 degrees of Capricorn, Scorpio, Virgo or Pisces? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Sagittarius (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).\r\n\r\nMonday afternoon, an opportune Mars/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 2:59pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Friday evening on; it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. This brings an opportunity to connect our personal passions to our Soul\'s passions. We are resourceful and persistent when pursuing a goal, bringing tremendous effort and focus to bear.\r\n\r\nThis is an opportunity to be committed, determined and passionate, with no half-measures; it\'s also an opportunity to feel more confident about our own talents. Strategic thinking and execution is favored right now, as is eliminating waste around time and energy. Remember though: An \"opportunity\" is just an opening, it\'s not automatically granted -- we have to \"step up\" to the opening, then through it...\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-21 degrees of Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces  or Virgo? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aries or Scorpio (Mars is the ruler of Aries, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Mars\'s movements and aspects; Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)\r\n\r\nMonday early evening, at 5:25pm EST, the last Quarter Moon in 18.5 degrees of Libra becomes exact. We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Libra Sunday morning. The Moon in relationship-oriented, harmony-loving Libra makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in ambitious, goal-oriented Capricorn.\r\n\r\nThis may bring up some challenges. However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed. This Moon phase brings us closer to Jan 16th, which will bring the New Moon in Capricorn.\r\n\r\nWith the last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us take a look at what was started around the time of the last New Moon -- in this case, around Dec. 18th. We now have about a week to wrap those projects up. What -- if anything -- needs last-minute adjustments? What did you discover since Dec. 18th? What did it mean for you?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally or with others).\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-21 degrees of Libra, Capricorn, Aries or Cancer? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s last Quarter Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer, since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (Jan. 9th)</strong> is just as busy as Monday -- astrologically speaking: the Moon remains in relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking Libra until 3:05pm EST (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\nTuesday very early morning, a Sun/Venus alignment in almost 20 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 2:02am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday (Jan. 6th) night on; it will remain strong until this Friday night.  We are motivated to strike a balance in our relationships and our career environment. If you have negotiations going on at this time, it’s very likely they will go smoothly.\r\n\r\nGraciousness, diplomacy, charm, and a healthy dose of realism: This is a good period for social affairs, pleasure, amusement, and romance, especially if it\'s about building something concrete and long-term, something traditional or something connected to status and expertise.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 17-23 degrees of Capricorn, Aries, Libra or Cancer? If so, you may be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Leo (the Sun rules Leo; Venus rules Taurus and Libra)\r\n\r\nTuesday early morning, a Venus/Pluto alignment in 19 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 4:03am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday (Jan. 6th) evening on; it will remain strong until this Thursday. This alignment brings out our passionate side. We uncompromisingly seek deep, totally authentic connections with others.\r\n\r\nOur instincts are very strong right now, our inner wolf is wide-awake, and we can sniff out any unclean intentions right away. As best as you can, be completely truthful about your motivations and needs – if you try to duck this, it could get ugly, since everyone knows what everyone else is up to anyway.\r\n\r\nWhat if you took 100% responsibility for getting what you want and need? What is the highest path to achieve that? As best as you can, find creative solutions and remain flexible. And as always when Pluto is involved, choose the power of love over the power of fear -- whenever possible.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 16-22 degrees of Capricorn, Aries, Cancer or Libra? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Scorpio (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Pluto rules Scorpio)\r\n\r\nTuesday early morning, a Sun/Pluto alignment in 19 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 4:33am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday (Jan. 6th) morning on; it will remain strong until this Thursday night. This alignment asks of us that we reclaim our authority and make some fundamental changes in our world.\r\n\r\nSome of the structures that we built in the past may no longer be solid; they must fall now, to be replaced with something that empowers us. It is necessary to redefine feminine and masculine “powers”. What do you need to acknowledge or embrace? What is rejected or ignored? If you truly had choice in the matter, what kind of future would you want to step into?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 16-22 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries or Libra? If so, you may be more affected by this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Scorpio (the Sun is the ruler of Leo; Pluto rules Scorpio)\r\n\r\nTuesday at 11:13am EST, we enter a Moon void of course (VoC). that lasts for almost 4 hours, until 3:05pm EST. Use this intuitive time to collaborate with others and share your life philosophy. As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday (late morning until the mid-afternoon) ahead of time ;-) (Moon sextiles Mercury in Sagittarius)\r\n\r\nTuesday at 3:05pm EST, the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio, where it will journey until Thursday late morning. We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s therefore an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can therefore be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so as best you can, be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\nTuesday late afternoon, an opportune Venus/Mars aspect becomes exact at 4:08pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday (Jan. 6th) night on; it will remain strong until this Friday evening.  This aspect helps intimate or business relationships along, bringing passion and/or sexiness to them -- and if we\'re not in a long-term committed relationship, we\'ll get some help in forming one.\r\n\r\nThis could also be a good time for financial ventures, social life, artistic pursuits, and pleasure in general. Remember: this is an \"opportunity\" -- those aren\'t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in 18-22 degrees of Capricorn, Scorpio, Pisces or Virgo? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Aries (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars is the ruler of Aries)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (Jan. 10th)</strong>: the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio all day (see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\nWednesday very early morning, an opportune Sun/Mars aspect becomes exact at 12:36am EST. We started to feel this aspect from Monday on; it will remain strong until this Friday. Many of us feel an inner joy now -- when planning and achieving; now is a good time to link this to our intuition and instincts.\r\n\r\nOur self-confidence and self-esteem can get a boost: we feel we can meet life on life\'s terms and stand up for ourselves (and our point of view) without becoming hostile or confrontational.\r\n\r\nWe have to “take” opportunities, and this one is no exception: It requires we take action. What if there was a single, really simple action step, that would feel almost effortless?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of Capricorn, Scorpio, Pisces or Virgo? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Aries (the Sun rules Leo; Mars is the ruler of Aries)\r\n\r\nWednesday at 11:40am EST, Mercury\'s Shadow Phase ends. As you may recall, on Dec. 22nd, when Mercury stationed direct, I mentioned Mercury shadow phases as well: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it\'s best to avoid the periods shortly before and after Mercury goes retrograde. This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.)\r\n\r\nThe good news is, this shadow phase ends today, when Mercury reaches 29º18\' of Sagittarius. This means that we can finally go ahead and book those plane tickets -- or buy that new car or iPhone (or anything else communication- or transportation-related). We can also more easily take in new information, so teaching, sharing and learning will be more effective. Click here to read my blog on the subject.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (Jan. 11th)</strong>: the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio all day (see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\nWednesday night/Thursday very early morning, at 12:09am EST, Mercury changes signs from optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius to practical, accomplishment-oriented, status-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Jan. 31st.\r\n\r\nThis is a time when our minds like to make concrete plans for the future. A systematic, practical approach to reaching our goals is now favored; we are good at focusing on practical matters and getting down to the essentials.\r\n\r\nWe do not waste any words at this time -- what we say is truthful and to the point. We see reality very clearly now -- and it might not look as rosy as we thought. As best as you can, use this time to get in touch with what\'s real in your life -- without going down the \"rabbit hole\" of pessimistic inadequacy ;-)\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini or Virgo? If so, you will be more serious and possible more eager to accomplish concrete goals. Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in Capricorn? If so, you will most likely feel more chatty for the next 3 weeks.\r\n\r\nThursday at 9:53am EST, we enter a Moon void of course (VoC). that lasts for a little over 16 hours, until Friday (Jan. 12th) at 2:04am EST. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others on an authentic level. What if you let yourself trust others in the mutual pursuit of realistic, practical goals?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday (late morning, all the way through the night) ahead of time ;-) (Moon sextiles Venus in Capricorn)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (Jan. 12th):</strong> the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio and VoC until 2:04am EST (see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\nFriday at 2:04am EST, the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius, where it will journey until Sunday afternoon. We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence, which means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, than take orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (Jan. 13th)</strong>: the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius all day (see Friday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\nSaturday very early morning, a Mercury/Saturn alignment in almost 3 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 2:03am EST. We started to feel this aspect from Wednesday evening on; it will remain strong until Monday (Jan. 15th). This connection strengthens our ability to make realistic decisions connected to our need for achievement and mastery. We are more able to come from a place of integrity and maturity when planning anything long-term.\r\n\r\nWe prefer to have serious conversations with others that move us forward, closer to a common goal. It\'s an excellent period for reviewing, reassessing, perfecting, and improving our thinking patterns, long-term goals, and path towards mastery. Even though we might have a more negative or critical outlook initially, this alignment serves the purpose of reaching a balanced, mature, and realistic state.\r\n\r\nDue to Mercury\'s retrograde phase, we have already experienced this aspect several times over the past 7 weeks -- making this alignment more important this time around. Think back to Nov. 28th and Dec. 6th, 2017. In what ways did you need to slow down and take a more serious look at a situation in your life?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in 0-6 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries or Libra? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo or Capricorn (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).\r\n\r\nSaturday very early morning, around 2am EST, the Balsamic Moon phase begins when the Moon reaches 12º of Sagittarius. This lasts until Tuesday evening, when the New Moon in Capricorn becomes exact (more on that next week...however, feel free to watch my video on the subject -- will be posted by Friday, Jan. 12th).\r\n\r\nWe are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our inner sensing/intuition. For some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes.\r\n\r\nThis is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?\r\n\r\nSaturday early afternoon, a challenging Venus/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 2:09pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from Wednesday night on; it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening (Jan. 15th). This \"stretch aspect\" asks us to grow beyond what we know and have experienced in the past in regards to our relationships, especially business relations.\r\n\r\nPriorities may shift. We may experience clashes of taste or values with business partners; as you can imagine, we may feel some instability or restlessness in connection to others. We may also struggle with freedom versus material safety -- the latter manifesting as fears around financial goals.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take a deep breath and hold off on decision-making with regards to finances -- in particular, it is best to avoid impulse buys at this time.\r\n\r\nIn general, expect the unexpected: Things may take a different turn when it comes to the truly important. Keep your mind and heart open: if something demands elimination or change, it was waiting for that shift to happen anyway. As best as you can, find creative solutions and stay flexible and adaptable. This is not the best time to take things too personally (but then again, is there ever a good time for that? :-)\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 21-28 degrees of Capricorn, Aries, Libra, or Cancer? If so, you may be more affected by this aspect. The same is true for those with their Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Aquarius (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Uranus rules Aquarius)\r\n\r\nSaturday late evening, an opportune Venus/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 9:52pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from this Friday on; it will remain strong until next week, Monday (Jan. 15th) . It\'s an opportunity to bring healing to our wounds around relationships or our sense of self-worth.\r\n\r\nWe get a chance to love ourselves and heal deep fears of not being \"good enough\". Healing happens much faster when we can open to forgiving ourselves and others. As best as you can, bring compassion and understanding to yourself, to others, and to those past experiences that wounded you.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of Capricorn, Pisces, Scorpio or Taurus? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus or Libra (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra)\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (Jan. 14th):</strong> the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius until 2:42pm EST (see Friday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\nSunday at 3:48am EST, we enter a Moon void of course (VoC). that lasts for almost 11 hours, until 2:42pm EST. This intuitive time could serve as an opportunity to connect to like-minded people and learn something new about your unique self. How wide could your vision for humanity become?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday (until the mid-afternoon) ahead of time ;-) (Moon trines Uranus in Aries)\r\n\r\nSunday at 2:42pm EST, the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Wednesday very early morning (Jan. 17th). We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, be truthful with yourself about where you are at: Do you actually have a realistic view about what is so, right now, in your life? Not what you wish it to be or what you would like it to be or where you see yourself going.... What is so right now? Once you know where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\", whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\nSunday afternoon, a challenging Sun/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 3:45pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from Friday evening on; it will remain strong until next Wednesday (Jan. 17th).  Disrupted routines and plans, especially around career and business, are quite likely; this calls for flexibility and creative solutions.\r\n\r\nDuring this transit, we feel a great need to make progress, as we feel quite restless -- maybe even anxious -- but if we\'re unclear on what actions are in our best interest, we might act in ways that don\'t serve us in the long run.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go with the flow and stay open to experiencing something new and wonderfully unexpected; if you can, put off making major decisions for the time being... \"haste makes waste\" during this aspect ;-)\r\n\r\nYou can think of this as \"reorganizing\" time -- like rearranging your furniture -- try not to resist the reorganization. Enjoy the ride… and remember: it only feels uncomfortable because it’s new and different. Could you allow yourself to be comfortable with being uncomfortable?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 21-28 degrees of Cancer, Aries, Libra, Capricorn or 0-1 degrees Leo, Taurus, Aquarius or Scorpio? If so, you may be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aquarius or Leo (the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius)\r\n\r\nAlso on Sunday, Uranus resumes its normal pace through the sky, ending its station. What has come up in the last four weeks around radical change, personal freedom, and needing to individuate? How closely are you in touch with your personal vision for life?\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (Jan. 15th):</strong> The Moon remains in Capricorn all day (see Sunday afternoon for details). In very early morning, an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 1:59am EST. We started to feel this aspect from Friday night on; it will remain strong until this Tuesday morning. In late evening, a long-term, opportune Jupiter/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 11:13pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from Tuesday (Jan. 3rd) on; it will remain strong until Wednesday (Jan. 31st).

So much going on...\r\n\r\nFirstly, the Moon remains in relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking Libra all day. It will journey there until Tuesday afternoon, where it will help us be naturally courteous and diplomatic -- we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the last Quarter Moon (which, will be exact Monday early evening...) <!--more-->\r\n\r\nMonday morning, an opportune Sun/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 7:07am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday. We might want to take advantage of the opportunities this aspect provides -- it\'s an excellent time for creating deeper intimate connections, resolving conflicts with others, having fun and boosting our self-confidence. In fact, we may well feel particularly vital and confident -- and inner optimism can bring rewards.\r\n\r\nHumor can be a big part of this aspect too: We are able to laugh whole-heartedly, and see nothing but possibility in our lives, especially in our intimate relationships and our shared resources with others. This could bring a healthy shift of attitude toward our relationships -- whether personal or business.\r\n\r\nImagine you have a special lens which showed you the \"bigger picture\"... What would your relationships look like when you gazed through it?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in 16-20 degrees of Capricorn, Scorpio, Virgo or Pisces? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Sagittarius (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).\r\n\r\nMonday late morning, an opportune Venus/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 11:13am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday evening on; it will remain strong until this Tuesday night. We have an opportunity to grow in our social and personal relationships at this time. Humor and caring play a big role in our interactions with others.\r\n\r\nWe can call upon tolerance, optimism and co-operation when dealing with loved ones or business relationships now. Financially speaking, things are \"on the up\"; we may have opportunities now to expand our pocketbooks -- if we make sound decisions that are in the interest of everyone involved.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-20 degrees of Capricorn, Scorpio, Virgo or Pisces? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Sagittarius (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).\r\n\r\nMonday afternoon, an opportune Mars/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 2:59pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Friday evening on; it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. This brings an opportunity to connect our personal passions to our Soul\'s passions. We are resourceful and persistent when pursuing a goal, bringing tremendous effort and focus to bear.\r\n\r\nThis is an opportunity to be committed, determined and passionate, with no half-measures; it\'s also an opportunity to feel more confident about our own talents. Strategic thinking and execution is favored right now, as is eliminating waste around time and energy. Remember though: An \"opportunity\" is just an opening, it\'s not automatically granted -- we have to \"step up\" to the opening, then through it...\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-21 degrees of Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces  or Virgo? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aries or Scorpio (Mars is the ruler of Aries, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Mars\'s movements and aspects; Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)\r\n\r\nMonday early evening, at 5:25pm EST, the last Quarter Moon in 18.5 degrees of Libra becomes exact. We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Libra Sunday morning. The Moon in relationship-oriented, harmony-loving Libra makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in ambitious, goal-oriented Capricorn.\r\n\r\nThis may bring up some challenges. However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed. This Moon phase brings us closer to Jan 16th, which will bring the New Moon in Capricorn.\r\n\r\nWith the last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us take a look at what was started around the time of the last New Moon -- in this case, around Dec. 18th. We now have about a week to wrap those projects up. What -- if anything -- needs last-minute adjustments? What did you discover since Dec. 18th? What did it mean for you?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally or with others).\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-21 degrees of Libra, Capricorn, Aries or Cancer? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s last Quarter Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer, since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (Jan. 9th)</strong> is just as busy as Monday -- astrologically speaking: the Moon remains in relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking Libra until 3:05pm EST (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\nTuesday very early morning, a Sun/Venus alignment in almost 20 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 2:02am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday (Jan. 6th) night on; it will remain strong until this Friday night.  We are motivated to strike a balance in our relationships and our career environment. If you have negotiations going on at this time, it’s very likely they will go smoothly.\r\n\r\nGraciousness, diplomacy, charm, and a healthy dose of realism: This is a good period for social affairs, pleasure, amusement, and romance, especially if it\'s about building something concrete and long-term, something traditional or something connected to status and expertise.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 17-23 degrees of Capricorn, Aries, Libra or Cancer? If so, you may be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Leo (the Sun rules Leo; Venus rules Taurus and Libra)\r\n\r\nTuesday early morning, a Venus/Pluto alignment in 19 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 4:03am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday (Jan. 6th) evening on; it will remain strong until this Thursday. This alignment brings out our passionate side. We uncompromisingly seek deep, totally authentic connections with others.\r\n\r\nOur instincts are very strong right now, our inner wolf is wide-awake, and we can sniff out any unclean intentions right away. As best as you can, be completely truthful about your motivations and needs – if you try to duck this, it could get ugly, since everyone knows what everyone else is up to anyway.\r\n\r\nWhat if you took 100% responsibility for getting what you want and need? What is the highest path to achieve that? As best as you can, find creative solutions and remain flexible. And as always when Pluto is involved, choose the power of love over the power of fear -- whenever possible.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 16-22 degrees of Capricorn, Aries, Cancer or Libra? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Scorpio (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Pluto rules Scorpio)\r\n\r\nTuesday early morning, a Sun/Pluto alignment in 19 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 4:33am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday (Jan. 6th) morning on; it will remain strong until this Thursday night. This alignment asks of us that we reclaim our authority and make some fundamental changes in our world.\r\n\r\nSome of the structures that we built in the past may no longer be solid; they must fall now, to be replaced with something that empowers us. It is necessary to redefine feminine and masculine “powers”. What do you need to acknowledge or embrace? What is rejected or ignored? If you truly had choice in the matter, what kind of future would you want to step into?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 16-22 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries or Libra? If so, you may be more affected by this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Scorpio (the Sun is the ruler of Leo; Pluto rules Scorpio)\r\n\r\nTuesday at 11:13am EST, we enter a Moon void of course (VoC). that lasts for almost 4 hours, until 3:05pm EST. Use this intuitive time to collaborate with others and share your life philosophy. As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday (late morning until the mid-afternoon) ahead of time ;-) (Moon sextiles Mercury in Sagittarius)\r\n\r\nTuesday at 3:05pm EST, the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio, where it will journey until Thursday late morning. We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s therefore an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can therefore be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so as best you can, be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\nTuesday late afternoon, an opportune Venus/Mars aspect becomes exact at 4:08pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday (Jan. 6th) night on; it will remain strong until this Friday evening.  This aspect helps intimate or business relationships along, bringing passion and/or sexiness to them -- and if we\'re not in a long-term committed relationship, we\'ll get some help in forming one.\r\n\r\nThis could also be a good time for financial ventures, social life, artistic pursuits, and pleasure in general. Remember: this is an \"opportunity\" -- those aren\'t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in 18-22 degrees of Capricorn, Scorpio, Pisces or Virgo? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Aries (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars is the ruler of Aries)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (Jan. 10th)</strong>: the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio all day (see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\nWednesday very early morning, an opportune Sun/Mars aspect becomes exact at 12:36am EST. We started to feel this aspect from Monday on; it will remain strong until this Friday. Many of us feel an inner joy now -- when planning and achieving; now is a good time to link this to our intuition and instincts.\r\n\r\nOur self-confidence and self-esteem can get a boost: we feel we can meet life on life\'s terms and stand up for ourselves (and our point of view) without becoming hostile or confrontational.\r\n\r\nWe have to “take” opportunities, and this one is no exception: It requires we take action. What if there was a single, really simple action step, that would feel almost effortless?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of Capricorn, Scorpio, Pisces or Virgo? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Aries (the Sun rules Leo; Mars is the ruler of Aries)\r\n\r\nWednesday at 11:40am EST, Mercury\'s Shadow Phase ends. As you may recall, on Dec. 22nd, when Mercury stationed direct, I mentioned Mercury shadow phases as well: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it\'s best to avoid the periods shortly before and after Mercury goes retrograde. This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.)\r\n\r\nThe good news is, this shadow phase ends today, when Mercury reaches 29º18\' of Sagittarius. This means that we can finally go ahead and book those plane tickets -- or buy that new car or iPhone (or anything else communication- or transportation-related). We can also more easily take in new information, so teaching, sharing and learning will be more effective. Click here to read my blog on the subject.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (Jan. 11th)</strong>: the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio all day (see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\nWednesday night/Thursday very early morning, at 12:09am EST, Mercury changes signs from optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius to practical, accomplishment-oriented, status-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Jan. 31st.\r\n\r\nThis is a time when our minds like to make concrete plans for the future. A systematic, practical approach to reaching our goals is now favored; we are good at focusing on practical matters and getting down to the essentials.\r\n\r\nWe do not waste any words at this time -- what we say is truthful and to the point. We see reality very clearly now -- and it might not look as rosy as we thought. As best as you can, use this time to get in touch with what\'s real in your life -- without going down the \"rabbit hole\" of pessimistic inadequacy ;-)\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini or Virgo? If so, you will be more serious and possible more eager to accomplish concrete goals. Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in Capricorn? If so, you will most likely feel more chatty for the next 3 weeks.\r\n\r\nThursday at 9:53am EST, we enter a Moon void of course (VoC). that lasts for a little over 16 hours, until Friday (Jan. 12th) at 2:04am EST. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others on an authentic level. What if you let yourself trust others in the mutual pursuit of realistic, practical goals?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday (late morning, all the way through the night) ahead of time ;-) (Moon sextiles Venus in Capricorn)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (Jan. 12th):</strong> the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio and VoC until 2:04am EST (see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\nFriday at 2:04am EST, the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius, where it will journey until Sunday afternoon. We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence, which means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, than take orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (Jan. 13th)</strong>: the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius all day (see Friday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\nSaturday very early morning, a Mercury/Saturn alignment in almost 3 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 2:03am EST. We started to feel this aspect from Wednesday evening on; it will remain strong until Monday (Jan. 15th). This connection strengthens our ability to make realistic decisions connected to our need for achievement and mastery. We are more able to come from a place of integrity and maturity when planning anything long-term.\r\n\r\nWe prefer to have serious conversations with others that move us forward, closer to a common goal. It\'s an excellent period for reviewing, reassessing, perfecting, and improving our thinking patterns, long-term goals, and path towards mastery. Even though we might have a more negative or critical outlook initially, this alignment serves the purpose of reaching a balanced, mature, and realistic state.\r\n\r\nDue to Mercury\'s retrograde phase, we have already experienced this aspect several times over the past 7 weeks -- making this alignment more important this time around. Think back to Nov. 28th and Dec. 6th, 2017. In what ways did you need to slow down and take a more serious look at a situation in your life?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in 0-6 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries or Libra? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo or Capricorn (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).\r\n\r\nSaturday very early morning, around 2am EST, the Balsamic Moon phase begins when the Moon reaches 12º of Sagittarius. This lasts until Tuesday evening, when the New Moon in Capricorn becomes exact (more on that next week...however, feel free to watch my video on the subject -- will be posted by Friday, Jan. 12th).\r\n\r\nWe are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our inner sensing/intuition. For some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes.\r\n\r\nThis is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?\r\n\r\nSaturday early afternoon, a challenging Venus/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 2:09pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from Wednesday night on; it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening (Jan. 15th). This \"stretch aspect\" asks us to grow beyond what we know and have experienced in the past in regards to our relationships, especially business relations.\r\n\r\nPriorities may shift. We may experience clashes of taste or values with business partners; as you can imagine, we may feel some instability or restlessness in connection to others. We may also struggle with freedom versus material safety -- the latter manifesting as fears around financial goals.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take a deep breath and hold off on decision-making with regards to finances -- in particular, it is best to avoid impulse buys at this time.\r\n\r\nIn general, expect the unexpected: Things may take a different turn when it comes to the truly important. Keep your mind and heart open: if something demands elimination or change, it was waiting for that shift to happen anyway. As best as you can, find creative solutions and stay flexible and adaptable. This is not the best time to take things too personally (but then again, is there ever a good time for that? :-)\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 21-28 degrees of Capricorn, Aries, Libra, or Cancer? If so, you may be more affected by this aspect. The same is true for those with their Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Aquarius (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Uranus rules Aquarius)\r\n\r\nSaturday late evening, an opportune Venus/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 9:52pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from this Friday on; it will remain strong until next week, Monday (Jan. 15th) . It\'s an opportunity to bring healing to our wounds around relationships or our sense of self-worth.\r\n\r\nWe get a chance to love ourselves and heal deep fears of not being \"good enough\". Healing happens much faster when we can open to forgiving ourselves and others. As best as you can, bring compassion and understanding to yourself, to others, and to those past experiences that wounded you.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of Capricorn, Pisces, Scorpio or Taurus? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus or Libra (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra)\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (Jan. 14th):</strong> the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius until 2:42pm EST (see Friday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\nSunday at 3:48am EST, we enter a Moon void of course (VoC). that lasts for almost 11 hours, until 2:42pm EST. This intuitive time could serve as an opportunity to connect to like-minded people and learn something new about your unique self. How wide could your vision for humanity become?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday (until the mid-afternoon) ahead of time ;-) (Moon trines Uranus in Aries)\r\n\r\nSunday at 2:42pm EST, the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Wednesday very early morning (Jan. 17th). We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, be truthful with yourself about where you are at: Do you actually have a realistic view about what is so, right now, in your life? Not what you wish it to be or what you would like it to be or where you see yourself going.... What is so right now? Once you know where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\", whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\nSunday afternoon, a challenging Sun/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 3:45pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from Friday evening on; it will remain strong until next Wednesday (Jan. 17th).  Disrupted routines and plans, especially around career and business, are quite likely; this calls for flexibility and creative solutions.\r\n\r\nDuring this transit, we feel a great need to make progress, as we feel quite restless -- maybe even anxious -- but if we\'re unclear on what actions are in our best interest, we might act in ways that don\'t serve us in the long run.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go with the flow and stay open to experiencing something new and wonderfully unexpected; if you can, put off making major decisions for the time being... \"haste makes waste\" during this aspect ;-)\r\n\r\nYou can think of this as \"reorganizing\" time -- like rearranging your furniture -- try not to resist the reorganization. Enjoy the ride… and remember: it only feels uncomfortable because it’s new and different. Could you allow yourself to be comfortable with being uncomfortable?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 21-28 degrees of Cancer, Aries, Libra, Capricorn or 0-1 degrees Leo, Taurus, Aquarius or Scorpio? If so, you may be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aquarius or Leo (the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius)\r\n\r\nAlso on Sunday, Uranus resumes its normal pace through the sky, ending its station. What has come up in the last four weeks around radical change, personal freedom, and needing to individuate? How closely are you in touch with your personal vision for life?\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (Jan. 15th):</strong> The Moon remains in Capricorn all day (see Sunday afternoon for details). In very early morning, an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 1:59am EST. We started to feel this aspect from Friday night on; it will remain strong until this Tuesday morning. In late evening, a long-term, opportune Jupiter/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 11:13pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from Tuesday (Jan. 3rd) on; it will remain strong until Wednesday (Jan. 31st).

So much going on...\r\n\r\nFirstly, the Moon remains in relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking Libra all day. It will journey there until Tuesday afternoon, where it will help us be naturally courteous and diplomatic -- we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the last Quarter Moon (which, will be exact Monday early evening...)\r\n\r\nMonday morning, an opportune Sun/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 7:07am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday. We might want to take advantage of the opportunities this aspect provides -- it\'s an excellent time for creating deeper intimate connections, resolving conflicts with others, having fun and boosting our self-confidence. In fact, we may well feel particularly vital and confident -- and inner optimism can bring rewards.\r\n\r\nHumor can be a big part of this aspect too: We are able to laugh whole-heartedly, and see nothing but possibility in our lives, especially in our intimate relationships and our shared resources with others. This could bring a healthy shift of attitude toward our relationships -- whether personal or business.\r\n\r\nImagine you have a special lens which showed you the \"bigger picture\"... What would your relationships look like when you gazed through it?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in 16-20 degrees of Capricorn, Scorpio, Virgo or Pisces? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Sagittarius (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).\r\n\r\nMonday late morning, an opportune Venus/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 11:13am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday evening on; it will remain strong until this Tuesday night. We have an opportunity to grow in our social and personal relationships at this time. Humor and caring play a big role in our interactions with others.\r\n\r\nWe can call upon tolerance, optimism and co-operation when dealing with loved ones or business relationships now. Financially speaking, things are \"on the up\"; we may have opportunities now to expand our pocketbooks -- if we make sound decisions that are in the interest of everyone involved.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-20 degrees of Capricorn, Scorpio, Virgo or Pisces? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Sagittarius (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).\r\n\r\nMonday afternoon, an opportune Mars/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 2:59pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Friday evening on; it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. This brings an opportunity to connect our personal passions to our Soul\'s passions. We are resourceful and persistent when pursuing a goal, bringing tremendous effort and focus to bear.\r\n\r\nThis is an opportunity to be committed, determined and passionate, with no half-measures; it\'s also an opportunity to feel more confident about our own talents. Strategic thinking and execution is favored right now, as is eliminating waste around time and energy. Remember though: An \"opportunity\" is just an opening, it\'s not automatically granted -- we have to \"step up\" to the opening, then through it...\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-21 degrees of Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces  or Virgo? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aries or Scorpio (Mars is the ruler of Aries, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Mars\'s movements and aspects; Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)\r\n\r\nMonday early evening, at 5:25pm EST, the last Quarter Moon in 18.5 degrees of Libra becomes exact. We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Libra Sunday morning. The Moon in relationship-oriented, harmony-loving Libra makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in ambitious, goal-oriented Capricorn.\r\n\r\nThis may bring up some challenges. However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed. This Moon phase brings us closer to Jan 16th, which will bring the New Moon in Capricorn.\r\n\r\nWith the last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us take a look at what was started around the time of the last New Moon -- in this case, around Dec. 18th. We now have about a week to wrap those projects up. What -- if anything -- needs last-minute adjustments? What did you discover since Dec. 18th? What did it mean for you?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally or with others).\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-21 degrees of Libra, Capricorn, Aries or Cancer? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s last Quarter Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer, since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (Jan. 9th)</strong> is just as busy as Monday -- astrologically speaking: the Moon remains in relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking Libra until 3:05pm EST (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\nTuesday very early morning, a Sun/Venus alignment in almost 20 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 2:02am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday (Jan. 6th) night on; it will remain strong until this Friday night.  We are motivated to strike a balance in our relationships and our career environment. If you have negotiations going on at this time, it’s very likely they will go smoothly.\r\n\r\nGraciousness, diplomacy, charm, and a healthy dose of realism: This is a good period for social affairs, pleasure, amusement, and romance, especially if it\'s about building something concrete and long-term, something traditional or something connected to status and expertise.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 17-23 degrees of Capricorn, Aries, Libra or Cancer? If so, you may be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Leo (the Sun rules Leo; Venus rules Taurus and Libra)\r\n\r\nTuesday early morning, a Venus/Pluto alignment in 19 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 4:03am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday (Jan. 6th) evening on; it will remain strong until this Thursday. This alignment brings out our passionate side. We uncompromisingly seek deep, totally authentic connections with others.\r\n\r\nOur instincts are very strong right now, our inner wolf is wide-awake, and we can sniff out any unclean intentions right away. As best as you can, be completely truthful about your motivations and needs – if you try to duck this, it could get ugly, since everyone knows what everyone else is up to anyway.\r\n\r\nWhat if you took 100% responsibility for getting what you want and need? What is the highest path to achieve that? As best as you can, find creative solutions and remain flexible. And as always when Pluto is involved, choose the power of love over the power of fear -- whenever possible.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 16-22 degrees of Capricorn, Aries, Cancer or Libra? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Scorpio (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Pluto rules Scorpio)\r\n\r\nTuesday early morning, a Sun/Pluto alignment in 19 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 4:33am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday (Jan. 6th) morning on; it will remain strong until this Thursday night. This alignment asks of us that we reclaim our authority and make some fundamental changes in our world.\r\n\r\nSome of the structures that we built in the past may no longer be solid; they must fall now, to be replaced with something that empowers us. It is necessary to redefine feminine and masculine “powers”. What do you need to acknowledge or embrace? What is rejected or ignored? If you truly had choice in the matter, what kind of future would you want to step into?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 16-22 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries or Libra? If so, you may be more affected by this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Scorpio (the Sun is the ruler of Leo; Pluto rules Scorpio)\r\n\r\nTuesday at 11:13am EST, we enter a Moon void of course (VoC). that lasts for almost 4 hours, until 3:05pm EST. Use this intuitive time to collaborate with others and share your life philosophy. As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday (late morning until the mid-afternoon) ahead of time ;-) (Moon sextiles Mercury in Sagittarius)\r\n\r\nTuesday at 3:05pm EST, the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio, where it will journey until Thursday late morning. We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s therefore an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can therefore be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so as best you can, be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\nTuesday late afternoon, an opportune Venus/Mars aspect becomes exact at 4:08pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday (Jan. 6th) night on; it will remain strong until this Friday evening.  This aspect helps intimate or business relationships along, bringing passion and/or sexiness to them -- and if we\'re not in a long-term committed relationship, we\'ll get some help in forming one.\r\n\r\nThis could also be a good time for financial ventures, social life, artistic pursuits, and pleasure in general. Remember: this is an \"opportunity\" -- those aren\'t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in 18-22 degrees of Capricorn, Scorpio, Pisces or Virgo? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Aries (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars is the ruler of Aries)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (Jan. 10th)</strong>: the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio all day (see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\nWednesday very early morning, an opportune Sun/Mars aspect becomes exact at 12:36am EST. We started to feel this aspect from Monday on; it will remain strong until this Friday. Many of us feel an inner joy now -- when planning and achieving; now is a good time to link this to our intuition and instincts.\r\n\r\nOur self-confidence and self-esteem can get a boost: we feel we can meet life on life\'s terms and stand up for ourselves (and our point of view) without becoming hostile or confrontational.\r\n\r\nWe have to “take” opportunities, and this one is no exception: It requires we take action. What if there was a single, really simple action step, that would feel almost effortless?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of Capricorn, Scorpio, Pisces or Virgo? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Aries (the Sun rules Leo; Mars is the ruler of Aries)\r\n\r\nWednesday at 11:40am EST, Mercury\'s Shadow Phase ends. As you may recall, on Dec. 22nd, when Mercury stationed direct, I mentioned Mercury shadow phases as well: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it\'s best to avoid the periods shortly before and after Mercury goes retrograde. This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.)\r\n\r\nThe good news is, this shadow phase ends today, when Mercury reaches 29º18\' of Sagittarius. This means that we can finally go ahead and book those plane tickets -- or buy that new car or iPhone (or anything else communication- or transportation-related). We can also more easily take in new information, so teaching, sharing and learning will be more effective. Click here to read my blog on the subject.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (Jan. 11th)</strong>: the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio all day (see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\nWednesday night/Thursday very early morning, at 12:09am EST, Mercury changes signs from optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius to practical, accomplishment-oriented, status-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Jan. 31st.\r\n\r\nThis is a time when our minds like to make concrete plans for the future. A systematic, practical approach to reaching our goals is now favored; we are good at focusing on practical matters and getting down to the essentials.\r\n\r\nWe do not waste any words at this time -- what we say is truthful and to the point. We see reality very clearly now -- and it might not look as rosy as we thought. As best as you can, use this time to get in touch with what\'s real in your life -- without going down the \"rabbit hole\" of pessimistic inadequacy ;-)\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini or Virgo? If so, you will be more serious and possible more eager to accomplish concrete goals. Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in Capricorn? If so, you will most likely feel more chatty for the next 3 weeks.\r\n\r\nThursday at 9:53am EST, we enter a Moon void of course (VoC). that lasts for a little over 16 hours, until Friday (Jan. 12th) at 2:04am EST. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others on an authentic level. What if you let yourself trust others in the mutual pursuit of realistic, practical goals?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday (late morning, all the way through the night) ahead of time ;-) (Moon sextiles Venus in Capricorn)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (Jan. 12th):</strong> the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio and VoC until 2:04am EST (see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\nFriday at 2:04am EST, the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius, where it will journey until Sunday afternoon. We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence, which means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, than take orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (Jan. 13th)</strong>: the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius all day (see Friday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\nSaturday very early morning, a Mercury/Saturn alignment in almost 3 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 2:03am EST. We started to feel this aspect from Wednesday evening on; it will remain strong until Monday (Jan. 15th). This connection strengthens our ability to make realistic decisions connected to our need for achievement and mastery. We are more able to come from a place of integrity and maturity when planning anything long-term.\r\n\r\nWe prefer to have serious conversations with others that move us forward, closer to a common goal. It\'s an excellent period for reviewing, reassessing, perfecting, and improving our thinking patterns, long-term goals, and path towards mastery. Even though we might have a more negative or critical outlook initially, this alignment serves the purpose of reaching a balanced, mature, and realistic state.\r\n\r\nDue to Mercury\'s retrograde phase, we have already experienced this aspect several times over the past 7 weeks -- making this alignment more important this time around. Think back to Nov. 28th and Dec. 6th, 2017. In what ways did you need to slow down and take a more serious look at a situation in your life?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in 0-6 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries or Libra? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo or Capricorn (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).\r\n\r\nSaturday very early morning, around 2am EST, the Balsamic Moon phase begins when the Moon reaches 12º of Sagittarius. This lasts until Tuesday evening, when the New Moon in Capricorn becomes exact (more on that next week...however, feel free to watch my video on the subject -- will be posted by Friday, Jan. 12th).\r\n\r\nWe are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our inner sensing/intuition. For some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes.\r\n\r\nThis is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?\r\n\r\nSaturday early afternoon, a challenging Venus/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 2:09pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from Wednesday night on; it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening (Jan. 15th). This \"stretch aspect\" asks us to grow beyond what we know and have experienced in the past in regards to our relationships, especially business relations.\r\n\r\nPriorities may shift. We may experience clashes of taste or values with business partners; as you can imagine, we may feel some instability or restlessness in connection to others. We may also struggle with freedom versus material safety -- the latter manifesting as fears around financial goals.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take a deep breath and hold off on decision-making with regards to finances -- in particular, it is best to avoid impulse buys at this time.\r\n\r\nIn general, expect the unexpected: Things may take a different turn when it comes to the truly important. Keep your mind and heart open: if something demands elimination or change, it was waiting for that shift to happen anyway. As best as you can, find creative solutions and stay flexible and adaptable. This is not the best time to take things too personally (but then again, is there ever a good time for that? :-)\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 21-28 degrees of Capricorn, Aries, Libra, or Cancer? If so, you may be more affected by this aspect. The same is true for those with their Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Aquarius (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Uranus rules Aquarius)\r\n\r\nSaturday late evening, an opportune Venus/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 9:52pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from this Friday on; it will remain strong until next week, Monday (Jan. 15th) . It\'s an opportunity to bring healing to our wounds around relationships or our sense of self-worth.\r\n\r\nWe get a chance to love ourselves and heal deep fears of not being \"good enough\". Healing happens much faster when we can open to forgiving ourselves and others. As best as you can, bring compassion and understanding to yourself, to others, and to those past experiences that wounded you.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of Capricorn, Pisces, Scorpio or Taurus? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus or Libra (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra)\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (Jan. 14th):</strong> the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius until 2:42pm EST (see Friday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\nSunday at 3:48am EST, we enter a Moon void of course (VoC). that lasts for almost 11 hours, until 2:42pm EST. This intuitive time could serve as an opportunity to connect to like-minded people and learn something new about your unique self. How wide could your vision for humanity become?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday (until the mid-afternoon) ahead of time ;-) (Moon trines Uranus in Aries)\r\n\r\nSunday at 2:42pm EST, the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Wednesday very early morning (Jan. 17th). We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, be truthful with yourself about where you are at: Do you actually have a realistic view about what is so, right now, in your life? Not what you wish it to be or what you would like it to be or where you see yourself going.... What is so right now? Once you know where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\", whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\nSunday afternoon, a challenging Sun/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 3:45pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from Friday evening on; it will remain strong until next Wednesday (Jan. 17th).  Disrupted routines and plans, especially around career and business, are quite likely; this calls for flexibility and creative solutions.\r\n\r\nDuring this transit, we feel a great need to make progress, as we feel quite restless -- maybe even anxious -- but if we\'re unclear on what actions are in our best interest, we might act in ways that don\'t serve us in the long run.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go with the flow and stay open to experiencing something new and wonderfully unexpected; if you can, put off making major decisions for the time being... \"haste makes waste\" during this aspect ;-)\r\n\r\nYou can think of this as \"reorganizing\" time -- like rearranging your furniture -- try not to resist the reorganization. Enjoy the ride… and remember: it only feels uncomfortable because it’s new and different. Could you allow yourself to be comfortable with being uncomfortable?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 21-28 degrees of Cancer, Aries, Libra, Capricorn or 0-1 degrees Leo, Taurus, Aquarius or Scorpio? If so, you may be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aquarius or Leo (the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius)\r\n\r\nAlso on Sunday, Uranus resumes its normal pace through the sky, ending its station. What has come up in the last four weeks around radical change, personal freedom, and needing to individuate? How closely are you in touch with your personal vision for life?\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (Jan. 15th):</strong> The Moon remains in Capricorn all day (see Sunday afternoon for details). In very early morning, an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 1:59am EST. We started to feel this aspect from Friday night on; it will remain strong until this Tuesday morning. In late evening, a long-term, opportune Jupiter/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 11:13pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from Tuesday (Jan. 3rd) on; it will remain strong until Wednesday (Jan. 31st).

So much going on...\r\n\r\nFirstly, the Moon remains in relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking Libra all day. It will journey there until Tuesday afternoon, where it will help us be naturally courteous and diplomatic -- we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the last Quarter Moon (which, will be exact Monday early evening...)\r\n\r\nMonday morning, an opportune Sun/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 7:07am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday. We might want to take advantage of the opportunities this aspect provides -- it\'s an excellent time for creating deeper intimate connections, resolving conflicts with others, having fun and boosting our self-confidence. In fact, we may well feel particularly vital and confident -- and inner optimism can bring rewards.\r\n\r\nHumor can be a big part of this aspect too: We are able to laugh whole-heartedly, and see nothing but possibility in our lives, especially in our intimate relationships and our shared resources with others. This could bring a healthy shift of attitude toward our relationships -- whether personal or business.\r\n\r\nImagine you have a special lens which showed you the \"bigger picture\"... What would your relationships look like when you gazed through it?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in 16-20 degrees of Capricorn, Scorpio, Virgo or Pisces? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Sagittarius (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).\r\n\r\nMonday late morning, an opportune Venus/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 11:13am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday evening on; it will remain strong until this Tuesday night. We have an opportunity to grow in our social and personal relationships at this time. Humor and caring play a big role in our interactions with others.\r\n\r\nWe can call upon tolerance, optimism and co-operation when dealing with loved ones or business relationships now. Financially speaking, things are \"on the up\"; we may have opportunities now to expand our pocketbooks -- if we make sound decisions that are in the interest of everyone involved.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-20 degrees of Capricorn, Scorpio, Virgo or Pisces? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Sagittarius (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).\r\n\r\nMonday afternoon, an opportune Mars/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 2:59pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Friday evening on; it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. This brings an opportunity to connect our personal passions to our Soul\'s passions. We are resourceful and persistent when pursuing a goal, bringing tremendous effort and focus to bear.\r\n\r\nThis is an opportunity to be committed, determined and passionate, with no half-measures; it\'s also an opportunity to feel more confident about our own talents. Strategic thinking and execution is favored right now, as is eliminating waste around time and energy. Remember though: An \"opportunity\" is just an opening, it\'s not automatically granted -- we have to \"step up\" to the opening, then through it...\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-21 degrees of Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces  or Virgo? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aries or Scorpio (Mars is the ruler of Aries, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Mars\'s movements and aspects; Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)\r\n\r\nMonday early evening, at 5:25pm EST, the last Quarter Moon in 18.5 degrees of Libra becomes exact. We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Libra Sunday morning. The Moon in relationship-oriented, harmony-loving Libra makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in ambitious, goal-oriented Capricorn.\r\n\r\nThis may bring up some challenges. However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed. This Moon phase brings us closer to Jan 16th, which will bring the New Moon in Capricorn.\r\n\r\nWith the last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us take a look at what was started around the time of the last New Moon -- in this case, around Dec. 18th. We now have about a week to wrap those projects up. What -- if anything -- needs last-minute adjustments? What did you discover since Dec. 18th? What did it mean for you?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally or with others).\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-21 degrees of Libra, Capricorn, Aries or Cancer? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s last Quarter Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer, since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (Jan. 9th)</strong> is just as busy as Monday -- astrologically speaking: the Moon remains in relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking Libra until 3:05pm EST (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\nTuesday very early morning, a Sun/Venus alignment in almost 20 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 2:02am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday (Jan. 6th) night on; it will remain strong until this Friday night.  We are motivated to strike a balance in our relationships and our career environment. If you have negotiations going on at this time, it’s very likely they will go smoothly.\r\n\r\nGraciousness, diplomacy, charm, and a healthy dose of realism: This is a good period for social affairs, pleasure, amusement, and romance, especially if it\'s about building something concrete and long-term, something traditional or something connected to status and expertise.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 17-23 degrees of Capricorn, Aries, Libra or Cancer? If so, you may be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Leo (the Sun rules Leo; Venus rules Taurus and Libra)\r\n\r\nTuesday early morning, a Venus/Pluto alignment in 19 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 4:03am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday (Jan. 6th) evening on; it will remain strong until this Thursday. This alignment brings out our passionate side. We uncompromisingly seek deep, totally authentic connections with others.\r\n\r\nOur instincts are very strong right now, our inner wolf is wide-awake, and we can sniff out any unclean intentions right away. As best as you can, be completely truthful about your motivations and needs – if you try to duck this, it could get ugly, since everyone knows what everyone else is up to anyway.\r\n\r\nWhat if you took 100% responsibility for getting what you want and need? What is the highest path to achieve that? As best as you can, find creative solutions and remain flexible. And as always when Pluto is involved, choose the power of love over the power of fear -- whenever possible.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 16-22 degrees of Capricorn, Aries, Cancer or Libra? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Scorpio (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Pluto rules Scorpio)\r\n\r\nTuesday early morning, a Sun/Pluto alignment in 19 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 4:33am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday (Jan. 6th) morning on; it will remain strong until this Thursday night. This alignment asks of us that we reclaim our authority and make some fundamental changes in our world.\r\n\r\nSome of the structures that we built in the past may no longer be solid; they must fall now, to be replaced with something that empowers us. It is necessary to redefine feminine and masculine “powers”. What do you need to acknowledge or embrace? What is rejected or ignored? If you truly had choice in the matter, what kind of future would you want to step into?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 16-22 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries or Libra? If so, you may be more affected by this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Scorpio (the Sun is the ruler of Leo; Pluto rules Scorpio)\r\n\r\nTuesday at 11:13am EST, we enter a Moon void of course (VoC). that lasts for almost 4 hours, until 3:05pm EST. Use this intuitive time to collaborate with others and share your life philosophy. As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday (late morning until the mid-afternoon) ahead of time ;-) (Moon sextiles Mercury in Sagittarius)\r\n\r\nTuesday at 3:05pm EST, the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio, where it will journey until Thursday late morning. We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s therefore an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can therefore be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so as best you can, be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\nTuesday late afternoon, an opportune Venus/Mars aspect becomes exact at 4:08pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday (Jan. 6th) night on; it will remain strong until this Friday evening.  This aspect helps intimate or business relationships along, bringing passion and/or sexiness to them -- and if we\'re not in a long-term committed relationship, we\'ll get some help in forming one.\r\n\r\nThis could also be a good time for financial ventures, social life, artistic pursuits, and pleasure in general. Remember: this is an \"opportunity\" -- those aren\'t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in 18-22 degrees of Capricorn, Scorpio, Pisces or Virgo? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Aries (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars is the ruler of Aries)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (Jan. 10th)</strong>: the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio all day (see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\nWednesday very early morning, an opportune Sun/Mars aspect becomes exact at 12:36am EST. We started to feel this aspect from Monday on; it will remain strong until this Friday. Many of us feel an inner joy now -- when planning and achieving; now is a good time to link this to our intuition and instincts.\r\n\r\nOur self-confidence and self-esteem can get a boost: we feel we can meet life on life\'s terms and stand up for ourselves (and our point of view) without becoming hostile or confrontational.\r\n\r\nWe have to “take” opportunities, and this one is no exception: It requires we take action. What if there was a single, really simple action step, that would feel almost effortless?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of Capricorn, Scorpio, Pisces or Virgo? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Aries (the Sun rules Leo; Mars is the ruler of Aries)\r\n\r\nWednesday at 11:40am EST, Mercury\'s Shadow Phase ends. As you may recall, on Dec. 22nd, when Mercury stationed direct, I mentioned Mercury shadow phases as well: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it\'s best to avoid the periods shortly before and after Mercury goes retrograde. This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.)\r\n\r\nThe good news is, this shadow phase ends today, when Mercury reaches 29º18\' of Sagittarius. This means that we can finally go ahead and book those plane tickets -- or buy that new car or iPhone (or anything else communication- or transportation-related). We can also more easily take in new information, so teaching, sharing and learning will be more effective. Click here to read my blog on the subject.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (Jan. 11th)</strong>: the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio all day (see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\nWednesday night/Thursday very early morning, at 12:09am EST, Mercury changes signs from optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius to practical, accomplishment-oriented, status-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Jan. 31st.\r\n\r\nThis is a time when our minds like to make concrete plans for the future. A systematic, practical approach to reaching our goals is now favored; we are good at focusing on practical matters and getting down to the essentials.\r\n\r\nWe do not waste any words at this time -- what we say is truthful and to the point. We see reality very clearly now -- and it might not look as rosy as we thought. As best as you can, use this time to get in touch with what\'s real in your life -- without going down the \"rabbit hole\" of pessimistic inadequacy ;-)\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini or Virgo? If so, you will be more serious and possible more eager to accomplish concrete goals. Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in Capricorn? If so, you will most likely feel more chatty for the next 3 weeks.\r\n\r\nThursday at 9:53am EST, we enter a Moon void of course (VoC). that lasts for a little over 16 hours, until Friday (Jan. 12th) at 2:04am EST. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others on an authentic level. What if you let yourself trust others in the mutual pursuit of realistic, practical goals?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday (late morning, all the way through the night) ahead of time ;-) (Moon sextiles Venus in Capricorn)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (Jan. 12th):</strong> the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio and VoC until 2:04am EST (see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\nFriday at 2:04am EST, the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius, where it will journey until Sunday afternoon. We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence, which means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, than take orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (Jan. 13th)</strong>: the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius all day (see Friday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\nSaturday very early morning, a Mercury/Saturn alignment in almost 3 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 2:03am EST. We started to feel this aspect from Wednesday evening on; it will remain strong until Monday (Jan. 15th). This connection strengthens our ability to make realistic decisions connected to our need for achievement and mastery. We are more able to come from a place of integrity and maturity when planning anything long-term.\r\n\r\nWe prefer to have serious conversations with others that move us forward, closer to a common goal. It\'s an excellent period for reviewing, reassessing, perfecting, and improving our thinking patterns, long-term goals, and path towards mastery. Even though we might have a more negative or critical outlook initially, this alignment serves the purpose of reaching a balanced, mature, and realistic state.\r\n\r\nDue to Mercury\'s retrograde phase, we have already experienced this aspect several times over the past 7 weeks -- making this alignment more important this time around. Think back to Nov. 28th and Dec. 6th, 2017. In what ways did you need to slow down and take a more serious look at a situation in your life?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in 0-6 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries or Libra? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo or Capricorn (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).\r\n\r\nSaturday very early morning, around 2am EST, the Balsamic Moon phase begins when the Moon reaches 12º of Sagittarius. This lasts until Tuesday evening, when the New Moon in Capricorn becomes exact (more on that next week...however, feel free to watch my video on the subject -- will be posted by Friday, Jan. 12th).\r\n\r\nWe are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our inner sensing/intuition. For some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes.\r\n\r\nThis is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?\r\n\r\nSaturday early afternoon, a challenging Venus/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 2:09pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from Wednesday night on; it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening (Jan. 15th). This \"stretch aspect\" asks us to grow beyond what we know and have experienced in the past in regards to our relationships, especially business relations.\r\n\r\nPriorities may shift. We may experience clashes of taste or values with business partners; as you can imagine, we may feel some instability or restlessness in connection to others. We may also struggle with freedom versus material safety -- the latter manifesting as fears around financial goals.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take a deep breath and hold off on decision-making with regards to finances -- in particular, it is best to avoid impulse buys at this time.\r\n\r\nIn general, expect the unexpected: Things may take a different turn when it comes to the truly important. Keep your mind and heart open: if something demands elimination or change, it was waiting for that shift to happen anyway. As best as you can, find creative solutions and stay flexible and adaptable. This is not the best time to take things too personally (but then again, is there ever a good time for that? :-)\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 21-28 degrees of Capricorn, Aries, Libra, or Cancer? If so, you may be more affected by this aspect. The same is true for those with their Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Aquarius (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Uranus rules Aquarius)\r\n\r\nSaturday late evening, an opportune Venus/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 9:52pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from this Friday on; it will remain strong until next week, Monday (Jan. 15th) . It\'s an opportunity to bring healing to our wounds around relationships or our sense of self-worth.\r\n\r\nWe get a chance to love ourselves and heal deep fears of not being \"good enough\". Healing happens much faster when we can open to forgiving ourselves and others. As best as you can, bring compassion and understanding to yourself, to others, and to those past experiences that wounded you.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of Capricorn, Pisces, Scorpio or Taurus? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus or Libra (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra)\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (Jan. 14th):</strong> the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius until 2:42pm EST (see Friday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\nSunday at 3:48am EST, we enter a Moon void of course (VoC). that lasts for almost 11 hours, until 2:42pm EST. This intuitive time could serve as an opportunity to connect to like-minded people and learn something new about your unique self. How wide could your vision for humanity become?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday (until the mid-afternoon) ahead of time ;-) (Moon trines Uranus in Aries)\r\n\r\nSunday at 2:42pm EST, the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Wednesday very early morning (Jan. 17th). We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, be truthful with yourself about where you are at: Do you actually have a realistic view about what is so, right now, in your life? Not what you wish it to be or what you would like it to be or where you see yourself going.... What is so right now? Once you know where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\", whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\nSunday afternoon, a challenging Sun/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 3:45pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from Friday evening on; it will remain strong until next Wednesday (Jan. 17th).  Disrupted routines and plans, especially around career and business, are quite likely; this calls for flexibility and creative solutions.\r\n\r\nDuring this transit, we feel a great need to make progress, as we feel quite restless -- maybe even anxious -- but if we\'re unclear on what actions are in our best interest, we might act in ways that don\'t serve us in the long run.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go with the flow and stay open to experiencing something new and wonderfully unexpected; if you can, put off making major decisions for the time being... \"haste makes waste\" during this aspect ;-)\r\n\r\nYou can think of this as \"reorganizing\" time -- like rearranging your furniture -- try not to resist the reorganization. Enjoy the ride… and remember: it only feels uncomfortable because it’s new and different. Could you allow yourself to be comfortable with being uncomfortable?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 21-28 degrees of Cancer, Aries, Libra, Capricorn or 0-1 degrees Leo, Taurus, Aquarius or Scorpio? If so, you may be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aquarius or Leo (the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius)\r\n\r\nAlso on Sunday, Uranus resumes its normal pace through the sky, ending its station. What has come up in the last four weeks around radical change, personal freedom, and needing to individuate? How closely are you in touch with your personal vision for life?\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (Jan. 15th):</strong> The Moon remains in Capricorn all day (see Sunday afternoon for details). In very early morning, an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 1:59am EST. We started to feel this aspect from Friday night on; it will remain strong until this Tuesday morning. In late evening, a long-term, opportune Jupiter/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 11:13pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from Tuesday (Jan. 3rd) on; it will remain strong until Wednesday (Jan. 31st).

I was quite aware of my obsessive thinking -- I had to give myself lots of permission to allow thoughts to move through awareness, then release them as much as possible -- and this helped me get centered in love again rather than fear.

With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, otherwise you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<b><strong>Monday late</strong> morning</b>, we are in a state of “flow” and emotional connection to others; spiritual and creative endeavors are favored. <span style=\"color: #800000;\">(<i>Moon in </i><b><i>Cancer </i></b><i>trines Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> <em>at 10:19am EST.</em> -- post at 8:30am EST)</i></span><i></i>\r\n\r\n<b><strong>Monday early afternoon </strong></b><span style=\"color: #333333;\">requires some inner adjustments.

This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the Lunar Eclipse</i> -- a very powerful Full Moon (exact on Wednesday morning).\r\n\r\nWe all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-) So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can.\r\n\r\nFun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (January 31st): </strong><i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><strong>all day </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday morning, at 8:27am EST: </b><i>the Moon opposes the Sun</i> <i>in 11.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo</i></b> -- <em>a very powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse</em> becomes exact. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered <em>Leo</em> Tuesday at 1:53pm EST. </strong>\r\n\r\nOnce every six months, the Sun, Moon, and Earth finally align precisely enough for a Solar or Lunar Eclipse to occur; Eclipses are always powerfully connected to the Moon Nodes and thus to our Soul\'s Journey. <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/Lunar+Eclipse.aspx\">If you’d like to learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video</a>.\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon is <i>the first of two Eclipses within the next four weeks and it\'s extra-powerful -- firstly</i><i>, because it\'s</i> a <i>SuperMoon -- </i>these occur when the Moon is either Full or New, while at its closest distance to the Earth; they are therefore more powerful. This often means an increase in emotional reactions, plus greater awareness around the issues connected to the particular Full Moon energy in question.\r\n\r\nSecondly, as the second Full Moon of this calendar month, it is also a \"<i>Blue Moon\" -- so </i>I think we can go ahead and call it a SuperBlue Moon :-)\r\n\r\nGiven that our SuperBlue Full Moon is happening in the <b>Leo</b>/<b>Aquarius</b> polarity, there\'s extra emphasis on increasing awareness of our mind\'s activities, and on opening our heart chakras. As we do this, we can open more to joy, and be more playful.\r\n\r\nLunar Eclipses generally direct our attention to our \"emotional body” and our relationships; they also connect us more fully to our Soul’s journey (as shown by the Moon Nodes). This particular Eclipse focuses on the relationship between the individual (<b>Leo</b>) and the collective (<b>Aquarius</b>).\r\n\r\nWe become aware of what has been suppressed or ignored -- or, this being a North Node Eclipse, what needs to be embraced, integrated and explored -- in regards to the <b>Leo</b> energy.\r\n\r\nIt\'s been 19 years since we experienced a Lunar Eclipse in this degree... Think back to Jan. 31st, 1999: What did I need to open my heart to back then? What became more clear at that time, in regards to exploring joy? Was I able to get in touch with my inner child?\r\n\r\nThis is the third Lunar Eclipse in a 23-month cycle of Eclipses, all connected to the <b>Leo/Aquarius</b> polarity; the cycle in question began in February 2017 with a Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b> and will last until Jan. 2019, ending with yet another Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b>.\r\n\r\nThink back to February of last year: What started shifting for me, in my attitudes towards the collective (or \"humanity\")? How about like-minded people? Was there likewise a shift in my desire for more joy? Self-expression? Heartfelt actions? If I think back to the last Solar Eclipse in Leo from August 21st, 2017, what has brought the possibility for more joy into my life?\r\n\r\nLife-changing revelations are more likely over the next two weeks — and with them, shifts in our consciousness — and the impact of an Eclipse\'s energy also lasts longer than a regular Lunation (anywhere from 6 months to 2 years!)\r\n\r\nI will talk about the upcoming Eclipses in more detail in my next Forecasting Forum — if you want to know how the Eclipses are going to impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up, to our own birth charts. The Forum will be live on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time); for more info or to register, <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">click here</a>: <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ</a>\r\n\r\nThis particular Eclipse focuses on authentic self-expression and creativity. Ask yourself: What might open up if I expressed myself with my heart as my center? With more courage? If I were too much in my head, what would tip me off to that? What might my world look like, if I allowed my light to shine just a little brighter?\r\n\r\nWe are also invited to allow head and heart to merge, bringing about a brighter future for humankind -- what would it look like if I allowed that merger? What if I chose, right here and now, to contribute to humanity from a courageous, heart-centered and authentic place? What if I simply chose that, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>Leo</b> represents our individual expression, the kind of light we came to shine, joy we came to spread. <b>Leo</b> is the sign of individual creativity; <b>Aquarius</b> represents the power of collaboration, where the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts. <b>Aquarius</b>, connects us to the complex patterns formed by many coming together<i>.</i>\r\n\r\nThis means it\'s important to be especially aware and responsible when connecting with others. As best as you can, get present and ask yourself: What am I bringing forth? What are my intentions? What is in my heart that longs to be expressed? Do I have the courage to stand in my authentic self-expression?\r\n\r\nIf we want to see a greater shift in the world at large (an Aquarian concern), we must each do our own part and express our unique gifts (Leo’s imperative). That said, if we don\'t come from the heart --<span style=\"color: #333333;\"> or if we get stuck over-thinking things and/or being overly concerned with what other people are thinking -- we will not be able to fulfill on that vision.</span>\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> makes a Quincunx to Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>. </i>This might bring some internal discomfort; we need to make inner adjustments here. It nudges us to tune into our intuition, and create from a place of love rather than fear.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What if it were possible to get really in tune with my intuitive feeling body <i>and</i> express myself fully, with courage and without compromise? Might an introverted approach like that serve my extroverted, unique expression of Self? How can I transform lower vibrational feelings? For example, how might I transform fear into love? What approach might support such a transformation?\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun (ruler of Leo) in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> conjoins the South Node and Venus in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>. </i>This reminds us that each one of us has an electromagnetic field, and are an integral part of a much larger field, where our thoughts, growth, and actions interweave and affect the course of humanity. Together, we are exponentially more powerful.\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) is currently in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>. It\'s making a Square to Pluto and Mercury in </i><b><i>Capricorn.</i></b><i> </i>We are invited to be more honest with ourselves and others (especially about our fears and desires), and to pay attention to our thinking patterns, especially in regards to achieving things out there in the world.\r\n\r\nIn fact, you could say we are being invited to bring an innovative approach to who we are \"out there in the world\" -- and to our interactions with others… In other words: To step it up -- and walk our unique path. To inspire others. Life is too short to waste on things we are less than fully passionate about, that don\'t fully express our uniqueness.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What is being radically transformed in my life? Where am I being invited to confront outdated thought-forms? What\'s the relationship between my inner teenager and my inner adult?\r\n\r\nPluto represents the courage it takes to face our shadows and fears -- and if we can do that, we can discover our true motivations, desires -- and our true power. What do I get obsessed about? What scares me the most, when it comes to fully committing to things I feel passionate about?\r\n\r\nTake a look back at situations that felt disempowering -- and at situations that evoked some sort of helpless fury. When in the past have I given my power away to others, especially authority figures? Was it really about me? What did I choose in that moment?\r\n\r\n<i>Saturn (the traditional ruler of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>) currently in its own sign. </i>Here is a quote that fits really beautifully with this energy: <i>\"The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift of life is yours—it’s an amazing journey, and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. Your journey is determined by the choices you make. Your answers are determined by the questions you ask. Your destination is determined by the steps you take. Your future is determined by what you do today.\"</i> -- Dan Zadra\r\n\r\nWe are also encouraged during this Full Moon to acknowledge that we are all in this together, and that each one of us has the ability to effect change by tapping into our courage, and living our vision in every moment -- and this takes dropping into our hearts more fully.\r\n\r\nFor this <i>Full SuperBlue Moon/Lunar Eclipse</i> you could ask yourself these questions too: How might I learn about self-love? What if I chose to love the world as if it was a reflection of my heart and soul? What if I did that while expressing my unique soul-self, my unique spirit? Where do the inner and the outer experiences of love and connectedness meet?\r\n\r\nFlexibility, thinking outside the box, and self-care are critical during Eclipse season! Self-care is particularly important in times of stress and/or change — basic things, like making sure that we eat healthily and regularly, drink plenty of water, exercise, get plentiful rest -- and allow affection in from friends, family, or pets. Connecting to what feels supportive in order to stay grounded and regenerate ourselves can be very helpful as well.\r\n\r\nThere are so many more aspects we could talk about with this Lunar Eclipse chart, I\'d need an hour-and-a-half to cover it all — and that\'s just what I\'ll be doing during the 90-minute Monthly Forecasting Forum on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time)<b> </b><a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">click here to register</a>: <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\">http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ</a>) :-)\r\n\r\nThis <i>Lunar Eclipse</i> shows us that there is always work to be done -- and there\'s no need to get overwhelmed by that, because we all have the power to do it. All we have to do is look into our own heart and see the strength and love lying there. Ask yourself: Where could I be the voice? Where could I be or become the visionary? What if I accepted that I am the hero/heroine of my story? What is my role at this pivotal time?\r\n\r\nRemember: No effort is too small, no step too modest... And most important of all, perhaps: it\'s never too late to be the one who makes a difference -- especially when it comes from the heart and feels authentic!\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, trust that you have what it takes to make a difference for yourself and others. <i>And </i><a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/Lunar+Eclipse.aspx\">if you’d like to learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video</a>.\r\n\r\nA final note about Eclipses: they\'re consciousness upgrades, so for 7 - 10 days before and after one, we are usually in uncharted territory -- anything is possible and it\'s wise to expect the unexpected. Anything <i>brand-new</i> started during this time will likely not pan out the way we thought it would, often because important information comes to light only after Eclipse season is over.\r\n\r\nFor that reason, try to defer any major brand-new projects until after Feb. 25th, when this particular Eclipse season ends. That said, if something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic, allow it to “be”... Just be wary of the urge to push something forward merely to relieve anxiety or impatience.\r\n\r\nAllow for the upgrade to download, staying centered and doing your best to \"ground\" from within -- try using conscious breathing, and regard flexibility as a tool. Best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body…\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point or personal planets in 6-17 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo, Aquarius, Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>?

We enjoy intellectual debates. We are quicker and more alert; our powers of observation are particularly strong.\r\n\r\nWe have something interesting to say, and our perspective on issues can be delightfully unusual and surprisingly insightful. This makes for some great conversations. We are more attracted to scientific and/or metaphysical pursuits right now. Anything that promises progress and advancement for mankind has special appeal.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel a greater need for focusing on your future and any humanitarian causes. Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>?

Body and mind can align; words and deeds connect with ease. As with any opportunity, we have to \"take\" this one: it will not happen by itself.\r\n\r\nWhat actions are calling to you today? How might those actions be connected to other like-minded people... or a vision you have for humanity\'s future?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <em>3-7 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 4:47pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>, where it will journey<b> <strong>until Monday late afternoon.</strong> </b>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating.

You get the idea :-)\r\n\r\nSo, <b>between now and Dec. 2020</b>, we are invited to look for practical applications for our ambitions. We may well be firming up our long-term goals -- this transit is a time to focus on building a secure foundation in our professional lives.\r\n\r\nSaturn in Capricorn also reminds us that in order to build or bring forth our visions, we need to look at the practical implications -- we need to slow down and take our time, if we are to manifest something that can withstand the test of time -- something that is of value to society, not just to a few.\r\n\r\nHowever, before we can know exactly what path to take, we must know where we currently stand -- we have to be realistic about \"where we\'re at\" to know what steps to take.\r\n\r\nIt\'s a time when we are working hard, taking on our fair share of duties and responsibilities, and either reaping some of the rewards of our hard work or facing the consequences of poor choices. We are invited, individually and collectively, to apply our newly refined ethics and life perspectives in a healthy and productive way.\r\n\r\nThink back to the period between Nov. 1988 and Feb. 1991 -- the last time Saturn made this journey: What did you accomplish back then, in regards to long-term goals, or the building of healthy foundations in your life? What area of life got a lot of your attention and focus in those days? Where did you have to apply yourself and have patience?\r\n\r\nBy the way, if you were born during that time period, you will experience your first \"Saturn Return\" within the next three years... (and if you were born between January, 1959 and January, 1962, you\'re coming up on your second Saturn Return).\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how Saturn\'s journey in <b>Capricorn</b> will impact you personally <i>in the next three years</i>, feel free <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/my-courses/\"><b>to purchase my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, click here</b></a> or for a quick preview <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/5067/\">check out this 30-minute excerpt</a> of the webinar.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>?

INSERT INTO `wpfb_posts` VALUES('5497', '4', '2018-01-13 23:09:47', '2018-01-14 04:09:47', '<h2>Forecast for Mon., Jan. 15th  - Sun., Jan. 21st , 2018</h2>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This quote really sums up last week for me: \"If you insist on being in a hurry, you\'ll move very quickly -- and often get nowhere. Take a breath. Relax. Find your peace. Don\'t require the Universe to move more rapidly than it is. It is actually working perfectly, and it will prove that to you if you will give it a chance. Really. Trust me on this.” — Neale Donald Walsh</span>\r\n<h3>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement:</h3>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are getting closer to the launch of my new online community!</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> Right now we are aiming for Jan.16th or 17th -- keep your fingers crossed for me ;-) I\'m super-excited, and at the same time, I also sometimes stress out about the scope of this amazing new beginning for myself and everyone out there who will join us. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">But as my spiritual coach likes to remind me, \"Life is an ongoing experiment\" and \"True professionalism is about being able to be flexible and kind about unforeseen situations that come up, allowing ourselves to learn from them and finding out how to make creative adjustments.\"</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>This week\'s headline item<span style=\"color: #000000;\">s</span></b>: the New Moon in Capricorn becomes exact on Tuesday; Venus changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius on Wednesday, and the Sun will do the same on Friday. Last but not least, Eclipse season begins on Sunday and runs until Feb. 25th.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>There will also be three <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week</strong>: Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning (for 2 hours), Friday morning (for a little over 8.5 hours), and Sunday evening (for a little over 5 hours).</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday (January 15th): </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day.</b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> It will journey there <b>until Wednesday very early morning. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, be truthful with yourself about where you are at: Do you actually have a realistic view about what is so, right now, in your life? Not what you wish it to be or what you would like it to be or where you see yourself going.... What is so right now? Once you know where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\", whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday very early morning, </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">becomes exact at 1:59am EST.</span><b> We started to feel this aspect from Friday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday morning. </b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Until Friday, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">23-27 degrees</span> of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday late evening, </b><i>a long-term, opportune Jupiter/Pluto aspect </i>becomes exact at 11:13pm EST.<b> We started to feel this aspect from Tuesday (Jan. 3rd) on; it will remain strong until Wednesday (Jan. 31st).</b><i> </i><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">This combo is an opportunity to deepen our relationships: business and personal alike. </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">A positive attitude and a deeper trust in our connections with others, gives us the chance to build something meaningful and share our passions with others. We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support us in achieving professional or personal goals. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Ask yourself: Where in my life could I hone into solving situations, so I can get to where I intent to go? How could a passionate approach support my long-term goals? How could other people\'s resources support my ability to transform and stand in my power?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><b><i> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">17-21 degrees</span> </i></b><i>of</i><b><i> Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces </i></b><i>or <strong>Virgo</strong></i><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces). </i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday (Jan. 16th): </b><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>t</em><b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">he Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</span></i></b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day </b></span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">(see Monday for details).</span> </span></span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday evening, at 9:17pm EST</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,</span></span><em> t<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">he Moon aligns with the Sun in almost 27 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></span></em><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">. This starts a new Moon cycle. This is a good time to go within and seed anything we would like to accomplish for the next 28 days and maybe even beyond. Feel free to watch my New Moon video as well :-) </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">We are also about to enter Eclipse season, as the the first of two Eclipses will becomes exact on Jan. 31st with the next Lunation. I will talk more about this in my next Monthly Forecasting Forum on Feb. 3rd. Feel free to join us, as we talk about the upcoming Eclipses: Lunar and Solar Eclipse -- one of them also being a SuperMoon and therefore more potent. To register, click here now: http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">This is the first New Moon of the year and since <strong>Capricorn</strong> represents the quest for mastery on the physical plane, ask yourself: What is my relationship to the physical? Do I respect the laws of matter? Am I going about things in a realistic way? How committed am I really? Where does my inner compass point? What am I willing to undergo to overcome adversity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">The highest vibration of <strong>Capricorn</strong> is the development of responsibility, resourcefulness, reliability, self-mastery, the ability to set realistic goals and healthy boundaries. The next 28 days are a perfect time to work on these areas. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">As best as you can, prepare for the future, make commitments and recognize responsibilities -- in other words, nurture your dreams in a realistic manner -- focus on setting and achieving practical and attainable long-term goals, one step at a time, one day at a time -- not focusing on immediate results but focusing on the quality of the foundation you are building.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> also invites us to set realistic limits and boundaries, which allow everyone involved to learn from the consequences of their choices. Where in my life am I able to set realistic limits and boundaries? Where is that an obstacle in your life? What am I afraid of in those moments? What would be the worst of that?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> relates directly to the level of our own maturity. We start out on a more instinctual level, simply wanting to get the results so we can survive on the physical plane. This stage is basically fear-based and has a scarcity-mentality. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Once we get better at living on the earth plane, and we understand the rules better, we move towards ambition and wanting to challenge ourselves, so we can reach our goals and gain recognition and rewards in the process. This phase is still sometimes fear-based but we are already taking more responsibility for our part in achieving things and manifesting on a physical plane. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Eventually, as we grow spiritually and learn more about the laws of matter, earthly ambitions are eventually replaced by spiritual service. We recognize that personal gain is not the highest goal to reach, we understand that by making a contribution to society, we are giving to ourselves and others -- surpassing the physical appearance of separation and connecting to life in it\'s highest form. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">On this highest level, we are living in accordance with our conscience, from a place of maturity and inner guidance.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Ask yourself: What would my life look like if I developed 5% more discipline? 5% more integrity? 5% more commitment towards something that aligns both with myself and with life? What if I took 100% responsibility for my life, starting right now? What if I also responded to situations in a way that respects and serves all those involved? </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">  </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> <em>This New Moon aligns with Venus and Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong> and squares Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>.</em> First let\'s focus on the alignment with Venus and Pluto: This conveys an extra-potent messages about our perception of physical reality -- time and space -- and about our relationship to love, our values, power or feeling empowered. Ask yourself: If I truly had choice in the matter, what kind of future would I choose to step into? Who would I choose to connect with? Why? Who would I not choose to connect with? Why not?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>Venus in conjunction with the New Moon</em> advises us to choose wisely and from the heart. Ask yourself: Am I true to myself? Am I working too hard without making enough progress? Am I expressing my feelings truthfully? Or hiding my true feelings from others? Am I in touch with what\'s important to me -- especially in regards to relationships? Am I happy? Could I love and respect myself and life 5% more?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">With this many planets in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, it is important for us to take breaks — or simply slow down and allow ourselves to tune in. It’s important to explore ways to stay heart-centered and grounded -- seek tools or people to help you with that exploration. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Now let\'s talk about <em>the square to Uranus</em> -- the energy of freedom, innovation and reform: This combo focuses our attention on the right use of power, which respects the rights, needs, and gifts of all beings. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Ask yourself: Where do I need to be more courageous? Where do I need to \"think different\"? What if I became 5% more aware of my personal power? Where might I have given it away to others? And how might I begin to reclaim it? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Remember that change is not always progress; consider all options first and then respond, rather than react. Be flexible, and be willing to entertain new possibilities. What if -- in small or large ways -- I could help birth a new age, and with it a new world, one based on heart-centered consciousness and individual freedoms?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>The New Moon also sextiles Mars in <strong>Scorpio</strong> and Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong></em>. This is an opportunity for healing our collective wounds around feeling spiritually disconnected in our world of accomplishments. We get a chance to connect more deeply with others and bring a powerful approach to what we are currently building and working towards. Our actions tend to be in greater alignment with our deepest desires.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Ask yourself: What if I could be productive and gentle with myself at the same time? What would a compassionate approach guarantee? What is pushing or pulling at me? How could my actions become a source of empowerment? What if I allowed all actions to flow from a deep sense of authentic connectedness? What if I forgave myself and others for having flaws or limitations?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Given that it rules <strong>Capricorn</strong>, <em>Saturn\'s placement in its own sign</em> plays an important role with this New Moon: If you want to know how Saturn\'s journey in <strong>Capricorn</strong> will impact you personally in the next three years, feel free to purchase my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, <a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-recorded-webinars/\">on my website</a>, <em>or</em> for a quick preview <a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/5067/\">check out my 30-minute excerpt of the webinar</a>\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>Saturn conjuncts Mercury in <strong>Capricorn</strong></em>. This reminds us of the power of our mind; that our thoughts and words matter. What am I doing, career-wise? What is the long-term plan? How can I honor and share those goals with others in a clear and honest way? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">It\'s time to seriously think about what no longer works. As best as you can, investigate your thought processes: What feels no longer useful in my approach? What if I got real about that? What might be possible if I took 5% more responsibility for my inner dialog, and the energy those thoughts disperse?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>To sum all of this up:</strong> We are invited to become mature, responsible planetary citizens, while honoring our individuality -- in other words, making a difference, one by one -- even when it seems as though we are too little to create a big shift on our own. No matter how small it may seem, every ripple moves something, changes something...</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">This cosmic combo also directs our attention to our bottom lines. What matters most to me? What are my priorities? Am I living my truth, and thus loving my goals? Where is it best to be flexible, and where must I remain focused and in alignment with my commitments? When have I felt the happiest? What if I committed 5% more to the things, people and places in my life that make me happy? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Inner strength and self-reliance come almost entirely from dealing with adversity. Obstacles are a part of life -- they show us where we have an opportunity to become more capable -- and also where we have gone out of alignment with outer reality or inner truth. Am I on the right track, as best as I can tell? Am I walking my own path? Or someone elses? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">What obstacles can I see or sense from here? What if there was value in those obstacles? Could I send them gratitude for being given the opportunity to get back into greater alignment with myself and reality?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Choose wisely for 2018: participate consciously in the evolution of existence on this planet; not from a place of fear, but from a place of knowing your inner strength and your own personal power -- the power of your heart and your humanity! Trust your inner truth! Feel free to watch my New Moon video as well :-)</span>\r\n\r\n<em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in one of the following placements: 25-29 degrees of <strong>Capricorn, Libra, Aries,</strong> or <strong>Cancer</strong>? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly.</span></em>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for the month\'s Moon cycle -- and the very best time to do this is after the New Moon becomes exact (and definitely not during a Moon void of course). </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">So this month the two best and most potent times to set intentions would be <strong>any time between 9:17pm Tuesday evening (Jan. 26th) </strong>and<strong> 1:30am Wednesday very early morning (Jan. 17th), </strong>or<strong> between Wednesday at 3:32am </strong>and<strong> Thursday (Jan. 18th) at 9:17pm</strong> (EST/New York-time).</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Wednesday (January 17th): <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>t</em>he Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented <strong>Capricorn</strong></span></i></b><i> </i><b>until 3:32am EST </b>(see Monday for details).</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Wednesday at 1:30am EST, </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">we enter a </span><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moon void of course (VoC)</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that lasts for 2 hours, </span><b>until 3:32am EST</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">If you are awake during those two hours, use this intuitive time to take care of anything that has value for you long-term. </span></span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In general, during a Moon VoC, listen to your intuition and go with the flow. </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">s best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new.

Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Social gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Wednesday late afternoon, </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a somewhat challenging Mars/Uranus aspect </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">becomes exact at 4:37pm EST.</span><b> We started to feel this aspect from Monday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday morning. </b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed in order to see what needs adjusting -- this aspect calls for flexibility.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We experience an internal stress between our masculine energies (assertiveness/aggression) and our need to express our unique spark (and the desire to make a difference).</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are being asked to go within and look at our personal goals and desires -- and reach a new perspective on how we go about achieving them. Are we driven by personal resistance and rebellion, or motivated to positively impact humanity?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Once we get clear about our deepest motivations, we will discover new ways to move forward and embrace our uniqueness in a healthy way; we can also learn how to demonstrate our strength and power more authentically -- from a place of love and abundance, rather than fear and limitation. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">How might you get in touch with your inner genius and share it with a true desire to empower others?  What \"old\" behaviors can now be released? </span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">What might a deep, passionate connection to my vision of my future self look like?</span> What might be possible if I could get 5% more comfortable with being uncomfortable?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-26 degrees of <strong>Scorpio</strong> or <strong>Aries</strong>?

Take a breath. Relax. Find your peace. Don\'t require the Universe to move more rapidly than it is. It is actually working perfectly, and it will prove that to you if you will give it a chance.

Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, be truthful with yourself about where you are at: Do you actually have a realistic view about what is so, right now, in your life? Not what you wish it to be or what you would like it to be or where you see yourself going.... What is so right now? Once you know where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\", whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday very early morning, </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">becomes exact at 1:59am EST.</span><b> We started to feel this aspect from Friday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday morning. </b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Until Friday, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">23-27 degrees</span> of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>?

To register, click here now: http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">This is the first New Moon of the year and since <strong>Capricorn</strong> represents the quest for mastery on the physical plane, ask yourself: What is my relationship to the physical? Do I respect the laws of matter? Am I going about things in a realistic way? How committed am I really? Where does my inner compass point? What am I willing to undergo to overcome adversity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">The highest vibration of <strong>Capricorn</strong> is the development of responsibility, resourcefulness, reliability, self-mastery, the ability to set realistic goals and healthy boundaries. The next 28 days are a perfect time to work on these areas. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">As best as you can, prepare for the future, make commitments and recognize responsibilities -- in other words, nurture your dreams in a realistic manner -- focus on setting and achieving practical and attainable long-term goals, one step at a time, one day at a time -- not focusing on immediate results but focusing on the quality of the foundation you are building.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> also invites us to set realistic limits and boundaries, which allow everyone involved to learn from the consequences of their choices. Where in my life am I able to set realistic limits and boundaries? Where is that an obstacle in your life? What am I afraid of in those moments? What would be the worst of that?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> relates directly to the level of our own maturity. We start out on a more instinctual level, simply wanting to get the results so we can survive on the physical plane. This stage is basically fear-based and has a scarcity-mentality. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Once we get better at living on the earth plane, and we understand the rules better, we move towards ambition and wanting to challenge ourselves, so we can reach our goals and gain recognition and rewards in the process. This phase is still sometimes fear-based but we are already taking more responsibility for our part in achieving things and manifesting on a physical plane. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Eventually, as we grow spiritually and learn more about the laws of matter, earthly ambitions are eventually replaced by spiritual service. We recognize that personal gain is not the highest goal to reach, we understand that by making a contribution to society, we are giving to ourselves and others -- surpassing the physical appearance of separation and connecting to life in it\'s highest form. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">On this highest level, we are living in accordance with our conscience, from a place of maturity and inner guidance.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Ask yourself: What would my life look like if I developed 5% more discipline? 5% more integrity? 5% more commitment towards something that aligns both with myself and with life? What if I took 100% responsibility for my life, starting right now? What if I also responded to situations in a way that respects and serves all those involved? </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">  </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> <em>This New Moon aligns with Venus and Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong> and squares Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>.</em> First let\'s focus on the alignment with Venus and Pluto: This conveys an extra-potent messages about our perception of physical reality -- time and space -- and about our relationship to love, our values, power or feeling empowered. Ask yourself: If I truly had choice in the matter, what kind of future would I choose to step into? Who would I choose to connect with? Why? Who would I not choose to connect with? Why not?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>Venus in conjunction with the New Moon</em> advises us to choose wisely and from the heart. Ask yourself: Am I true to myself? Am I working too hard without making enough progress? Am I expressing my feelings truthfully? Or hiding my true feelings from others? Am I in touch with what\'s important to me -- especially in regards to relationships? Am I happy? Could I love and respect myself and life 5% more?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">With this many planets in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, it is important for us to take breaks — or simply slow down and allow ourselves to tune in. It’s important to explore ways to stay heart-centered and grounded -- seek tools or people to help you with that exploration. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Now let\'s talk about <em>the square to Uranus</em> -- the energy of freedom, innovation and reform: This combo focuses our attention on the right use of power, which respects the rights, needs, and gifts of all beings. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Ask yourself: Where do I need to be more courageous? Where do I need to \"think different\"? What if I became 5% more aware of my personal power? Where might I have given it away to others? And how might I begin to reclaim it? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Remember that change is not always progress; consider all options first and then respond, rather than react. Be flexible, and be willing to entertain new possibilities. What if -- in small or large ways -- I could help birth a new age, and with it a new world, one based on heart-centered consciousness and individual freedoms?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>The New Moon also sextiles Mars in <strong>Scorpio</strong> and Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong></em>. This is an opportunity for healing our collective wounds around feeling spiritually disconnected in our world of accomplishments. We get a chance to connect more deeply with others and bring a powerful approach to what we are currently building and working towards. Our actions tend to be in greater alignment with our deepest desires.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Ask yourself: What if I could be productive and gentle with myself at the same time? What would a compassionate approach guarantee? What is pushing or pulling at me? How could my actions become a source of empowerment? What if I allowed all actions to flow from a deep sense of authentic connectedness? What if I forgave myself and others for having flaws or limitations?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Given that it rules <strong>Capricorn</strong>, <em>Saturn\'s placement in its own sign</em> plays an important role with this New Moon: If you want to know how Saturn\'s journey in <strong>Capricorn</strong> will impact you personally in the next three years, feel free to purchase my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, <a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-recorded-webinars/\">on my website</a>, <em>or</em> for a quick preview <a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/5067/\">check out my 30-minute excerpt of the webinar</a>\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>Saturn conjuncts Mercury in <strong>Capricorn</strong></em>. This reminds us of the power of our mind; that our thoughts and words matter. What am I doing, career-wise? What is the long-term plan? How can I honor and share those goals with others in a clear and honest way? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">It\'s time to seriously think about what no longer works. As best as you can, investigate your thought processes: What feels no longer useful in my approach? What if I got real about that? What might be possible if I took 5% more responsibility for my inner dialog, and the energy those thoughts disperse?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>To sum all of this up:</strong> We are invited to become mature, responsible planetary citizens, while honoring our individuality -- in other words, making a difference, one by one -- even when it seems as though we are too little to create a big shift on our own. No matter how small it may seem, every ripple moves something, changes something...</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">This cosmic combo also directs our attention to our bottom lines. What matters most to me? What are my priorities? Am I living my truth, and thus loving my goals? Where is it best to be flexible, and where must I remain focused and in alignment with my commitments? When have I felt the happiest? What if I committed 5% more to the things, people and places in my life that make me happy? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Inner strength and self-reliance come almost entirely from dealing with adversity. Obstacles are a part of life -- they show us where we have an opportunity to become more capable -- and also where we have gone out of alignment with outer reality or inner truth. Am I on the right track, as best as I can tell? Am I walking my own path? Or someone elses? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">What obstacles can I see or sense from here? What if there was value in those obstacles? Could I send them gratitude for being given the opportunity to get back into greater alignment with myself and reality?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Choose wisely for 2018: participate consciously in the evolution of existence on this planet; not from a place of fear, but from a place of knowing your inner strength and your own personal power -- the power of your heart and your humanity! Trust your inner truth! Feel free to watch my New Moon video as well :-)</span>\r\n\r\n<em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in one of the following placements: 25-29 degrees of <strong>Capricorn, Libra, Aries,</strong> or <strong>Cancer</strong>?

These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able to see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t actually make a decision. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 1:46pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 9 hours, <strong>until 10:56pm EST.</strong> Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 10:56pm EST</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey <b>until Thursday morning. </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (February 6th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b><strong>(see Monday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday evening,</strong> <em>an opportune Venus/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 8:37pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday morning on; it will remain strong until Thursday morning.</strong><b> </b>This gives us the opportunity to experiment with how we relate to others -- to do something different or unusual -- freedom plays a big part in this aspect.\r\n\r\nOf course, others are experimenting too, so you might experience some unusual or unexpected interactions during this time -- it\'s a favorable time for social meetings and events. As best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through your relationships.\r\n\r\nWe\'re also ready to experiment with our financial undertakings -- good places to look: all things \"tech\" (electronics, technology, internet); metaphysics; the arts; group activities. This is not the best time to make long-term financial investments not suggested in an intuitive flash ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>?

However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to the upcoming Solar Eclipse, a powerful New Moon in <b>Aquarius (on Feb.15th).</b> During the last Quarter Moon, we are better served by reviewing those projects we began around the last New Moon -- in this case, that would be Jan. 16th -- as opposed to launching new ones.\r\n\r\nSince this is also the last Moon phase before the Solar Eclipse becomes exact, it also ends an Eclipse cycle; journeys begun around the time of the last Eclipse (Aug. 21st), especially those connected to finding our inner joy and a healthy self-expression of our talents, are now coming to completion.\r\n\r\nGiven that, what projects call for completion, so they can become milestones on your journey to happiness? Where have you learned to focus more on your heart\'s desire? What if you brought love and laughter to that? What have you discovered since August 2017?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find kind and creative solutions for whatever comes up, whether internally or with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-21 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Aquarius, Leo</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s last Quarter Moon.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (February 8th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><strong>until 8:53am EST (see Monday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday very early morning, at 2:16am EST,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 6.5 hours, <strong>until 8:53am EST.</strong> Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments in your life. As best as you can, find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations. Make space either for connections with like-minded people, for involvement in a cause, or for the creation of deeper emotional bonds.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday morning ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 8:53am EST</strong>,<em> </em><i>the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><b>, </b>where it will journey<i> <strong>until Saturday evening</strong></i><b>. </b>We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (February 9th): <b> </b></strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b></strong><strong> (see Thursday morning for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning, </strong>we may need to make some adjustments. As best you can, honor both your need for adventure and exploration of life <i>and</i> your need to go within. You may feel a pull between introvert and extrovert, or simply fast and slow. Tune in for a moment and see if you need to take a break or at least slow down a little. As best as you can, be compassionate and kind with yourself.\r\n\r\nOn <strong>Friday afternoon,</strong> we have the opportunity to connect and collaborate with like-minded people, have an adventure, or simply do something that gets us excited about the future.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (February 10th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><i>Sagittarius</i> until 9:21pm EST (see Thursday morning for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 11:38am EST,</strong> we enter an approximately 10-hour <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>; it lasts until<strong> 9:21pm EST</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self — explore, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 6:20pm EST,</strong> <i>Venus changes signs from freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> to creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, where she will journey <strong>until March 6th</strong>.  <strong>For the next four weeks</strong>, we have a chance to connect with other people from our compassionate heart. We may also idealize our relationships a little — we’re feeling quite romantic, and hopeful that our dreams will be fulfilled.\r\n\r\nWith Venus in Pisces, our love is very accepting -- it comes as close to \"unconditional\" as humans can get. One way this shows up: We root for the underdog. We prefer feeling things out, to planning.\r\n\r\nAs you can imagine, we may spend our money on things that don’t make “sense” -- but if we heed intuition and allow for money to flow freely, we may discover that the Universe is always taking care of us ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? If so, beauty and love will enhance your life for the next three-and-a-half weeks. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? You may feel a strong need for romance or unconditional love -- or dream of the ideal relationship. Your finances and values may undergo the spiritual process of releasing control and trusting more to intuition and the flow of life.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday evening</strong>, <em>a challenging Sun/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 6:21pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday evening (Feb. 13th).</strong> This aspect says “stretch and grow!”. There is a feeling of enthusiasm and excitement in the air; it almost seems as if we could move mountains.\r\n\r\nAwareness is key: Be alert for undue optimism, that could lead to overextending or over-promising: As best as you can, stay connected to what\'s real — avoid exaggerations, especially when it comes to your \"feeling body\".\r\n\r\nThis is a time for collaboration and for coming together — provided we don\'t let ourselves get too overwhelmed by those historically-based emotional demons. As best as you can, take it one moment at a time, staying grounded in your vision for life.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-25 degrees of</i><b><i> Aquarius, Scorpio, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 9:21 pm EST,</strong> <i>t</i><i>he Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until next week Tuesday late morning (Feb. 13th)</strong><b>. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (February 11th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><strong>all day (see Saturday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning:</strong> we experience a sense of maturity, and of commitment towards ourselves and our long-term goals; for long-term success, focus on long-term projects that require a realistic approach or a solid commitment.\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (Feb. 12th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><strong>all day (see Saturday late evening for details).</strong> <em>Moon in <strong>Capricorn</strong> sextiles Neptune in <strong>Pisces</strong> at 12:08am EST. Moon in <strong>Capricorn</strong> conjuncts Pluto in<strong> Capricorn</strong> at 2:22pm EST.

Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (February 9th): <b> </b></strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b></strong><strong> (see Thursday morning for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning, </strong>we may need to make some adjustments. As best you can, honor both your need for adventure and exploration of life <i>and</i> your need to go within. You may feel a pull between introvert and extrovert, or simply fast and slow. Tune in for a moment and see if you need to take a break or at least slow down a little. As best as you can, be compassionate and kind with yourself. <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><i>Moon in </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>squares Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> <em> at 11:04am EST</em> --</i> post for 9am EST</span>\r\n\r\nOn <strong>Friday afternoon,</strong> we have the opportunity to connect and collaborate with like-minded people, have an adventure, or simply do something that gets us excited about the future. <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><em>Moon in <strong>Sagittarius</strong> sextiles Mercury in <strong>Aquarius</strong> at 3:32pm EST -- post for 1:30pm EST</em></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (February 10th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><i>Sagittarius</i> until 9:21pm EST (see Thursday morning for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 11:38am EST,</strong> we enter an approximately 10-hour <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>; it lasts until<strong> 9:21pm EST</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self — explore, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

We may also idealize our relationships a little — we’re feeling quite romantic, and hopeful that our dreams will be fulfilled.\r\n\r\nWith Venus in Pisces, our love is very accepting -- it comes as close to \"unconditional\" as humans can get. One way this shows up: We root for the underdog. We prefer feeling things out, to planning.\r\n\r\nAs you can imagine, we may spend our money on things that don’t make “sense” -- but if we heed intuition and allow for money to flow freely, we may discover that the Universe is always taking care of us ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? If so, beauty and love will enhance your life for the next three-and-a-half weeks. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? You may feel a strong need for romance or unconditional love -- or dream of the ideal relationship. Your finances and values may undergo the spiritual process of releasing control and trusting more to intuition and the flow of life.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday evening</strong>, <em>a challenging Sun/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 6:21pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday evening (Feb. 13th).</strong> This aspect says “stretch and grow!”. There is a feeling of enthusiasm and excitement in the air; it almost seems as if we could move mountains.\r\n\r\nAwareness is key: Be alert for undue optimism, that could lead to overextending or over-promising: As best as you can, stay connected to what\'s real — avoid exaggerations, especially when it comes to your \"feeling body\".\r\n\r\nThis is a time for collaboration and for coming together — provided we don\'t let ourselves get too overwhelmed by those historically-based emotional demons. As best as you can, take it one moment at a time, staying grounded in your vision for life.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-25 degrees of</i><b><i> Aquarius, Scorpio, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 9:21pm EST,</strong> <i>t</i><i>he Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until next week Tuesday late morning (Feb. 13th)</strong><b>. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (February 11th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><strong>all day (see <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Saturday late evening</span> for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning:</strong> we experience a sense of maturity, and of commitment towards ourselves and our long-term goals; for long-term success, focus on long-term projects that require a realistic approach or a solid commitment. <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><em>Moon in <strong>Capricorn</strong> conjuncts Saturn in <strong>Capricorn</strong> at 9:17am EST -- post at 7:30am EST</em></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (Feb. 12th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><strong>all day (see <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Saturday late evening</span> for details).</strong> <em>Moon in <strong>Capricorn</strong> sextiles Neptune in <strong>Pisces</strong> at 12:08am EST.

If you\'d like to learn how these major two planetary shifts might impact you personally, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/chiron-in-aries-uranus-in-taurus-until-2026-15-minute-excerpt/\">you may want to catch this free 15-min excerpt… from my recent Forum...</a>\n<blockquote><i>“</i><i>SUPER-GREAT Forum Sonja - I learned sooo much - can\'t wait to re-listen - thank you!!!”</i><i> </i>— Mary Beth W.</blockquote>\nTo watch the whole 120 min. webinar... <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">click here</a>\n\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: the last Quarter Moon in Aquarius becomes exact on Monday and the Balsamic Moon phase begins Friday. Mars enters its shadow phase on Saturday, and Mercury changes signs from Aries to Taurus on Sunday.\n\nThere will be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: Tuesday late evening (for almost 1 hour), Friday early morning (for a little over 3.5 hours), and Sunday afternoon (for 10 minutes).\n\n<strong>Monday (May 7th)</strong>:<em> the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking</em> <strong><em>Aquarius</em> all day</strong>. It will journey there <b>until Tuesday late evening. </b>The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\n\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount. With this Moon placement we can feel already the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Monday late evening).\n\n<strong>Monday early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:52am EDT.<strong> We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday afternoon (May 5th) on, it will remain strong until this Wednesday afternoon (May 9th). </strong>This aspect creates some tension in our lives.

We are being asked to<b> </b>find creative solutions and be completely honest with ourselves and others. The best way to achieve this is by the continual practice of self-care and self-nurturing.\n\nWe have tremendous focus and drive right now, which can tip into obsession. With this aspect an all-or-nothing attitude is very likely. Choose love over fear whenever possible. Not many people enjoy being second-guessed all the time, yet that is something that we are inclined to do now.\n\nHowever, our determination to get to the bottom of any matter, to rip away falsehoods and expose true motives, can be used for good if we employ it in our work, for example, in regards to investigations or research. This is an opportunity to learn to harness our intense mental energy and apply it productively. We are also capable of very hard work, focus and effort now.\n\nWe have a great love of debate, but should be careful that we don\'t overpower others with our strong opinions, attempting to \"convert\" them to our frame of mind, or treat regular exchanges of opinion as battlegrounds. Connect to yourself and others, empowering yourself/them with what you feel passionate about.\n\nChoose your words/thoughts carefully, from a deeply connected and empowered place rather than from a place of fear, self-protection or a need for survival.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>18-24 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\n\n<strong>Monday early evening</strong>, a challenging Venus/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 5:58pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday morning (May 5th) on, it will remain strong until this Thursday morning (May 10th).</strong> We can be confused, unrealistic, or overly idealistic around love and money -- so it\'s best to wait until the transit is over, before making big moves in these areas -- if you make long-term financial investments, buy or sell big-ticket items, or start brand-new relationships, it\'s likely you will not see things as they truly are.\n\nWe are actually being asked to have faith; to let our intuition guide us in money and love -- if we are able to do this, we will grow through it. As best as you can, be compassionate with yourself and others during these 5 days -- it might also help to know that relationships and endeavors of a spiritual or artistic nature can move forward at this time.\n\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>13-19 degrees</em><span class=\"s1\"><i> of</i> <b><i>Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune rules Pisces).</i></span>\n\n<strong>Monday at 10:09pm EDT</strong>, <em>the last Quarter Moon in 17.5 degrees of <strong>Aquarius</strong></em> becomes exact. The Moon in <strong>Aquarius</strong> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in <strong>Taurus</strong>. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Aquarius last Sunday morning (May 6th). </strong><span class=\"s2\"><i> </i>This may bring challenges; however, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.</span>\n\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to May 15th\'s New Moon in <strong>Taurus</strong>. With the last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us to take a look at what needs to be completed. What -- if anything -- needs last-minute adjustments? What did you discover since April 15th? What did it mean for you? What actions could shift the things you seeded or started in mid-late April?\n\nAs best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).\n\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 15-20 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Aquarius, Leo </strong>or<strong> Scorpio</strong>? If so, you will feel this month\'s last Quarter Moon quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in <strong>Leo </strong>or<strong> Cancer</strong> (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).\n\n<strong>Tuesday (May 8th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking</em> <strong><em>Aquarius</em> until 11:11pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for more details).\n\n<strong>Tuesday late evening</strong>, <em>a Sun/Jupiter opposition</em> becomes exact at 8:39pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday morning (May 5th) on, it will remain strong until this Friday evening (May 11th). </strong> This aspect can bring an opportunity to open up our consciousness through other people. As best as you can, expand your perspectives about intimate relationships, other people\'s resources and be open to bringing some optimism to those areas of your life.\n\nThe urge to grow and expand is strong, but we might overreach -- and hasty actions could backfire. As best as you can, don’t expect too much from others or yourself; avoid over-promising, and create deeper connections whenever you can. Use humor :-)\n\nProjects or ambitions may come to a culmination point, or undergo surprising changes; ask yourself: What insights am I receiving? Where can I go from here? What if I walked in their shoes, just for a moment? Where would I walk to?\n\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in 15-22 degrees</em> of <b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more affected by this opposition.This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\n\n<strong>Tuesday at 10:29pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for almost an hour, <strong>until 11:11pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\n\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC,</a> as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday late evening ahead of time.\n\n<strong>Tuesday at 11:11pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters creative, sensitive <strong>Pisces</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Friday morning. </strong> This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\n\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\n\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\n\n<strong>Wednesday (May 9th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive</em><strong><em> Pisces</em> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late evening for details).\n\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:36pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning (May 8th) on, it will remain strong until Thursday morning (May 10th). </strong>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed in order to see what needs adjusting.\n\nThis aspect is a fork in the road. We could take the path of learning about inner dialog and sharing ourselves with others by being open and curious -- or, we could take the path that leads to increased understanding of intimacy and resources that are shared with others.\n\nEither way, we can develop a new perspective on how to approach these things. Awareness is key with this aspect: What is needed? How can we serve the broader view?\n\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-19 degrees of <b>Gemini </b>or<b> Scorpio</b>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in<b> Taurus, Libra </b>or <b>Sagittarius</b> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</em>\n\n<strong>Thursday (May 10th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive</em> <strong>Pisces all day</strong> (see Tuesday late evening for details).\n\n<strong>Thursday early morning,</strong> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours.\n\n<strong>Thursday late morning,</strong> a nice feeling of ease and an ability to trust and connect deeply with others. As best as you can, trust your intuitive sensing right now, allow whatever comes up to be beneficial for you.\n\nThursday early afternoon: we feel a need to go within -- and also want to connect and learn from others. This tension clearly invites us to stretch a little and resolve it through creative solutions -- the key here is to listen to our intuition, so we don\'t drive ourselves or others crazy.\n\n<strong>Thursday afternoon: </strong>we get an opportunity to be very present; also to connect with others and share practical advice, or simply enjoy \"the good things in life\". As best as you can, bring a sense of flow and faith to who you are being, and allow yourself to slow down and connect with nature.\n\nThursday late afternoon, we have the opportunity to be guided by inspiration, and fully commit to a project or task that might serve us long-term. As best as you can, listen and trust to the subtle messages in your heart, that stir you towards success.\n\n<strong>Friday (May 11th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive</em> <strong>Pisces</strong> <strong>until 8:40am EDT</strong> (see Tuesday late evening for details).\n\n<strong>Friday at 5:02am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for a little over 3.5 hours, <strong>until 8:40am EDT. </strong><span class=\"s1\">If you are awake during this intuitive time, take the opportunity to go within and listen to your subtle intuitive \"voice\" -- your heart -- then focus anew on your long-term goals.</span>\n\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday morning ahead of time.\n\n<strong>Friday at 8:40am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters pioneering, fast-paced <strong>Aries,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday afternoon</strong>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\n\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\n\n<strong>Friday evening</strong>, <em>a harmonious Sun/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 7:10pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning (May 8th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening (May 14th). </strong>This aspect brings a sense of focus and empowerment to our long-term goals. We have the ability to look at everything in a very down-to-earth manner right now; through our understanding of \"what is and what is not\", we can make more powerful choices.\n\nWe can also deepen our understanding of our own motivations and look closely at where we are heading. This aspect also brings an intensity and a depth to our conscious awareness; therefore this is also a great time to transform our lives, stripping away anything -- even people -- that no longer connect with who we are.\n\nAsk yourself: How can I live more authentically? Is there anything holding me back? What fears and attachments could I release now, that no longer serve my evolution? Am I willing to let them go, just for now, and just as best as I can?\n\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of <b>Taurus, Capricorn</b> or <b>Virgo</b>? If so, you will be even more blessed by this aspect than those who do not; this is also true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in <b>Leo </b>or <b>Scorpio</b> (the Sun being the ruler of Leo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</em>\n\n<strong>Friday late evening, </strong><em>the Balsamic Moon phase begins, when the Moon reaches 9.5 degrees of <strong>Aries. </strong> This lasts <b>until Tuesday morning</b>, when the New Moon in <b>Taurus </b>becomes exact (for those of you who are impatiently waiting for my New Moon video, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here</a> after May 10th). We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our intuition.</em>\n\nFor some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes. This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?\n\n<strong>Friday night</strong> (Saturday very early morning), <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:05am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening (May 10th) on, it will remain strong until Saturday evening (May 12th). </strong>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice… so we need to develop inner awareness.\n\nFear of disappointment is causing some tension. Our inner need for growth requires honesty about what is causing those fears -- most likely our own lack of good boundaries and self-esteem. Watch out for getting pulled into overly burdensome roles in other people\'s lives, because you feel it is required of you, this can often be a path into \"control issues\".\n\nAs best as you can, carefully examine your motivations and self-image: How do you feel about your ability to communicate, share yourself and connect on a deep emotional level? What role does fear play in all of this?\n\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-22 degrees Gemini or<b> Capricorn</b>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in <b>Taurus, Libra </b>or <b>Scorpio</b> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</em>\n\n<strong>Saturday (May 12th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced</em> <strong>Aries</strong> <strong>all day</strong> (see Friday morning for details).\n\n<strong>Saturday late morning</strong>,<em> a challenging Mercury/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 9:30am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday (May 10th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening (May 14th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">Due to the recent Mercury Retrograde phase, we get to experience this aspect several times; this is the third and last pass within the last 10 weeks. </span>\n\n<span class=\"s1\">This gives us a chance to address our approach toward any misunderstandings. </span><span class=\"s1\">This aspect<i> </i></span><span class=\"s2\">brings some juicy energy to our conversations. This is a chance to have some discussions that have been overdue. </span>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">As best as you can, make it a productive discussion that serves you and others -- a win-win -- otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards. Also, watch out on the road for some crazy drivers… rushing might not necessarily get you there faster ;-) </span></p>\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in the following: 25-29 degrees of<strong> Aries, </strong><strong>Capricorn</strong>,<strong> Libra, Cancer,</strong> or 0-1 degree of <b>Taurus, Aquarius, Scorpio </b>or<b> Leo</b>?<span class=\"s3\"><i> </i></span><span class=\"s2\"><i>If so, you may feel more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries)</i></span>\n\nAlso on <strong>Saturday, </strong><em>Mars enters its 6.5-week shadow phase, when it reaches 28.5 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong>. </em><span class=\"s1\">This precedes the retrograde phase, which will begin on June 26th in 9 degrees of <b>Aquarius</b> (more on that in 6 weeks).</span>\n\nSo what is the \"shadow phase\"? To explain this, I\'ll quickly cover what happens when a planet \"stations\" and then goes “retrograde\".\n\nRelative to us on Earth, a planet sometimes looks like it is slowing down (\"stationing\"), then stopping. After being still for a while, it actually appears to go \"backward\" through the sky (this is the \"retrograde\" phase). It\'s a little like catching up to a car on the highway, driving exactly alongside it for a moment, then passing it and pulling ahead.\n\nAt first, retrograde movement is slow, but the planet gradually reaches its normal pace through the sky -- except it\'s going backward. The process then reverses itself: the backward pace slows, the planet crawls to a \"halt\", then it starts to move forward again (i.e. it goes direct). In our car analogy, it\'s like the car you just passed gradually speeds up and passes you again.\n\nThere are also two \"shadow\" phases -- during these, the planet travels over a part of the sky it will later \"revisit\". The first \"shadow\" comes before the planet moves backward; the second comes when the planet starts to catch back up (after going direct).\n\nIt\'s like you went hiking and left something behind at camp. If you went back to get it, you\'d have some catching up to do, and would see the same scenery twice or more. Mars\'s shadow phases usually last 6-7 weeks before and after the Retrograde phase. Pay attention to what you do or pursue during this time; you may need to revisit or redo them during the Retrograde phase.\n\n<strong>Sunday (May 13th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced</em> <strong>Aries until 2:15 EDT</strong> (see Friday morning for details).\n\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Uranus alignment in 29 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> becomes exact at 6:50am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday morning (May 11th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Tuesday (May 5th).  </strong><span class=\"s1\">With this alignment, an important insight is coming through, something new is preparing to enter consciousness – and we are getting the urge to move forward. We might experience some really unusual conversations. Our mind could be flooded with new information and ideas, and we most likely feel enthusiastic and excited by these fresh ideas and insights.</span>\n\nIt\'s a time when we could achieve real breakthroughs in the form of ideas, communications, and the mind in general — but coupled with the possibility of edginess and impatience toward those who don’t “get” our new insights. Nervousness, impulsivity and fidgeting could be a by-product of this alignment as well.\n\nComputers and electronics may suddenly become important. We\'ll likely have flashes of insight into our own mental workings, original thoughts, etc. As best as you can, and as much as you want to, stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body. That way, all that energy can move through you, without shaking you to the core ;-)\n\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 26-29 degrees of <b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn, </i></b><i>or 0-2 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </strong>or<strong> Aquarius</strong></i><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>  (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Uranus rules Aquarius).</i>\n\n<strong>Sunday at 8:40am EDT</strong>, Mercury changes signs from<i> </i><span class=\"s1\"><i>enthusiastic, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> to steady, peaceful </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where it will journey<b> until <strong>May 29th</strong></b>.<b> For the next 3 weeks</b>, our thinking shifts gears: we want to connect to others in a realistic, down-to-earth way and we \"say it like it is\". We appreciate common sense; we rely on our senses when it comes to processing information.</span>\n\nA well-developed sense of color, smell, and touch are characteristic of this Mercury position, so as long as Mercury is in Taurus, we will be drawn towards the \"tasteful\" in the realm of the five senses. We are more likely to have a no-nonsense approach to decision-making, and our ideas are often very practical and useful at this time.\n\nWhen it comes to learning, we prefer demonstrations, concrete answers, and basic concepts for the next 3 weeks. We learn best when we see real-world uses for the theories we are trying to absorb. We simply process information better when we can personalize it (\"what use is it to me?\") and attach it to the practical world.\n\nDo you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in <b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more talkative during this time. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you may need to slow down and “smell the roses” ;-)</i>\n\n<strong>Sunday at 2:05pm EDT</strong>, we enter a brief <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 10 minutes, <strong>until 2:15pm EDT</strong>. <span class=\"s1\">Use this intuitive time to connect with people that can enthusiastically support your projects and share with them what you have going on. </span>As always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.\n\n<strong>Sunday at 2:15pm EDT</strong>,<em> the Moon enters steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Tuesday late afternoon</strong>. <span class=\"s1\">We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.</span>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain.

Not what you wish it to be or what you would like it to be or where you see yourself going.... What is so right now? Once you know where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\", whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday very early morning, </b><i>an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect </i>becomes exact at 1:59am EST.<b> We started to feel this aspect from Friday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday morning. </b>This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We all have flaws, wounds, insecurities.

In addition, the first Quarter Moon in Taurus becomes exact on Wednesday and Mars changes signs from Scorpio to Sagittarius on Friday morning.\r\n\r\nThere will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Tuesday late evening (for almost 9.5 hours), Thursday late evening (for almost 14.5 hours), and Sunday early morning (for a little over 8 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (January 22nd):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive <strong>Pisces</strong> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 1:27am EST</strong>.</em> <strong>At that time,</strong> <em>the Moon enters pioneering, fast-paced <strong>Aries</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday morning</strong>. The energy of the Aries Moon bears on starting something new.\r\n\r\nOur gut impulses are strong; we feel energetic, spontaneous, enthusiastic and brave -- and perhaps impatient and impulsive. Excess energy is best channeled into physical activity.\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Monday</strong>, it\'s <em>time to actions on our New Moon intentions</em>: if you set Intentions Tuesday night, Wednesday or Thursday of last week -- after the New Moon became exact -- today will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?<!--more-->\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (January 23rd):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced <strong>Aries</strong></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 11:16pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 9.5 hours,<strong> until 8:39am EST (Wednesday morning). </strong>Use this intuitive time to connect to people that can enthusiastically support your projects and share with them what you have going on.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday night and Wednesday morning ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (January 24th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced <strong>Aries</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 8:39am EST</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 8:39am EST</strong>, <i>the Moon moves</i><b> </b><i>into steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Friday early afternoon</strong>. We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well. In other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-) This Moon placement starts the build up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Wednesday afternoon). <i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon,</strong> <em>a Mercury/Pluto alignment 19.5 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> becomes exact at 3:50pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Monday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday.</strong> With this alignment, an all-or-nothing attitude is very likely. We have tremendous mental focus — which could tip into obsession. Choose love over fear whenever possible. Connect to the things you feel passionate about -- and connect to others, empowering them with your passions. As best as you can, choose your words carefully -- if possible, speak from that deeply connected and empowered place.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 16-23 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Aries, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more connected to this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday early evening, at 5:20pm EST</strong>, <i>the first Quarter Moon in almost 5 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> </i>becomes exact. <b>We started to feel this aspect from the moment the Moon entered Taurus this morning. </b>The Moon, in <i>steady, peaceful, comfort-oriented</i><i> </i><b><i>Taurus,</i></b> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking, rebellious </i><b><i>Aquarius.</i></b>\r\n\r\nWe feel compelled to take action. Last week on Jan. 16th, the New Moon in Capricorn was exact: \"Seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making their first real contact with the outside world.

We have tremendous mental focus — which could tip into obsession. Choose love over fear whenever possible.

Make sure though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, otherwise you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (Jan. 29th):</strong> <i>the</i> <i>Moon remains</i> <i>in</i> <i>protective, introverted </i><b><i>Cancer </i>all day</b> (see Sunday afternoon for details). More about all the details in next week’s forecast ;-)\r\n<h3>One Last Announcement:</h3>\r\nJoin me for my next FORECASTING FORUM, <strong>Saturday, Feb. 3rd, 2018 at</strong> 11am PST/ <strong>2pm EST</strong>/7pm GMT (London-time). <strong>Please note </strong>that we will be talking about the<strong> upcoming Eclipses: Lunar Eclipse/SuperMoon in Leo </strong>and<strong> Solar Eclipse in Aquarius.</strong>\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how to align yourself with these these potent energies coming our way, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">To register now, click here: www.AstrologerCoach.com</a>\r\n<h3>Here is a testimonial from one of our participants right after joining our most recent Forum:</h3>\r\n<blockquote><em>\"Sonja\'s Forecasting Forums make Astrology accessible for anyone.

How could you take all of that to the next level?</span></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939881\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">\n</span></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939883\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">One thing to keep in mind when looking at those dates in the past: you are no longer the same person. Your level of consciousness that you have now, is very different from what is was 12 or 24 years ago. The past never repeats itself in the same exact way, especially not when we have been continually growing and evolving on a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level!</span></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939884\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">\n</span></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939886\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">Jupiter symbolizes the principle of expansion; in Libra it holds a magnifying glass over “fair play\", moderation and balance within our relationships and our environment -- and changes our perspective on justice and peace. Since Libra is all about weighing our options and wanting to be fair and just, we tend to not make decisions very easily, rather we tend to go back and forth, back and forth, trying to get to the ideal of what we are seeking.</span></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939887\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">\n</span></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939889\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">With Jupiter in Scorpio, the magnifying glass now swings over to authentic, emotional commitments or connections. We are invited to seek a deeper understanding of our subconscious drives and fears, of any suppressed or denied parts of ourselves, so we can feel more fully and authentically connected to all parts of ourselves (and thereby feel empowered). Everything in the human unconscious is lit up. </span></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939890\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">\n</span></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939892\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">Jupiter promotes a greater understanding of all of our emotions (the good the bad and the ugly, the instinctual and intuitive) and our ability or inability to have intimacy. We tend to have more of an all-or-nothing, do-or-die attitude towards life… Sex, money, power, shared resources and emotional vitality (i.e. passion) become key issues.  </span></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939893\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">\n</span></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939895\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">We can definitely attract the most good fortune when we give our “all” into a project or undertaking -- and use our magnetic powers to heal others.</span></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939896\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">\n</span></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939898\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"><b>For the next 13 months,</b> we are supported in discovering our motivations and releasing what holds us back from achieving our true desires. We’re also supported in feeling fully empowered in collaborations with others. This is a good time for dealing with outdated psychological patterns, clearing out the basement, or embarking on an deep, meaningful adventure.</span></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939899\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">\n</span></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939901\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">The phase now beginning emphasizes detoxing and clearing out what is \"broken\" or unhealthy, thereby giving us a new lease on life. We are more passionate and persistent at this time. We learn about giving up something in order to get (or create) something empowering (for ourselves and others — empowerment is key!) </span></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939902\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">\n</span></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939904\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">This process very well could operate on an unconscious level, so any shadow work that we invest in will pay off; we are able to feel more optimistic about our discoveries and we gain a new perspective about those suppressed or denied parts of ourselves.</span></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939905\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">\n</span></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939907\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">Since Scorpio also deals with other people\'s resources, we can see greater possibilities when it comes to financial collaborations, and any gifts or talents that others offer us. Merging and connecting our talents with others will most likely feel exhilarating and create a fresh start or a new birth of some kind.</span></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939908\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">\n</span></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939910\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">We are also more likely to be enthusiastic for deeper studies and meanings -- all that is taboo or mysterious (perhaps even occult), psychology, research of all types and levels... and the possibility for deep bonding, whether on a physical or emotional level. </span></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939911\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">\n</span></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939913\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">Questions you could ask yourself: What might promote a deeper connection to myself?

What needs to end, for a renewed empowerment and passion for life to emerge?</span></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939914\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">\n</span></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939916\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">Collectively, we will probably see the full spectrum of possibilities expressed; Scorpio is complex, with potentially high, positive meanings, along with darker ones. That which is taboo is brought to the surface. We see our fears crystalized and expressed in the outside world. </span></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939917\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">\n</span></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939919\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">The lower vibrations of Scorpio such as repression, obsession, dark and heavy brooding, addictions, extreme behaviors and power struggles might show up as well.

I kept reminding myself of all the things I usually say to my clients: be kind to yourself, etc. :-)\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<b>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement: </b>\r\n\r\nFeel free to <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/eclipses-jan-feb-2018-13-min-excerpt/\">check out my 13-minute excerpt</a> from our last Forecasting Forum about the Eclipses.\r\n\r\nAnd if you want to know how these powerful Lunations <span style=\"color: #666699;\">will</span> impact you personally, feel free to buy the whole 90+ min. webinar on the subject --  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">: </span> we talked about what to expect for the next 3 weeks, and how it all applies to our own birth charts ;-) ***Only available until Feb. 25th!***\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: Eclipse season continues all week; in other news, the last Quarter Moon in Scorpio becomes exact on Wednesday late morning, while Venus changes signs from Aquarius to Pisces on Saturday early evening.\r\n\r\nThere will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Monday afternoon (for a little over 9 hours), Thursday very early morning (for a little over 6.5 hours), and Saturday late morning (for almost 10 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (February 5th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in relationship-oriented</i><b><i>, </i></b><i>harmony-seeking </i><b><i>Libra </i>until 10:56pm EST. </b>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time; we are therefore open to compromise and negotiation. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able to see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t actually make a decision. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 1:46pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 9 hours, <strong>until 10:56pm EST.</strong> Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 10:56pm EST</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey <b>until Thursday morning. </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (February 6th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b><strong>(see Monday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday evening,</strong> <em>an opportune Venus/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 8:37pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday morning on; it will remain strong until Thursday morning.</strong><b> </b>This gives us the opportunity to experiment with how we relate to others -- to do something different or unusual -- freedom plays a big part in this aspect.\r\n\r\nOf course, others are experimenting too, so you might experience some unusual or unexpected interactions during this time -- it\'s a favorable time for social meetings and events. As best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through your relationships.\r\n\r\nWe\'re also ready to experiment with our financial undertakings -- good places to look: all things \"tech\" (electronics, technology, internet); metaphysics; the arts; group activities. This is not the best time to make long-term financial investments not suggested in an intuitive flash ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, Uranus rules Aquarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (February 7th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b><strong>(see Monday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late morning, at 10:54am EST,</strong> the <em>last Quarter Moon in almost 19 degrees of <strong>Scorpio</strong></em> <em>makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in<strong> Aquarius.</strong></em> <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Scorpio on Monday late evening.</strong> <i>The Moon in deep-feeling </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> is making a challenging aspect to the Sun in emotionally detached </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>.</i> This may bring up some challenges. However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to the upcoming Solar Eclipse, a powerful New Moon in <b>Aquarius (on Feb.15th).</b> During the last Quarter Moon, we are better served by reviewing those projects we began around the last New Moon -- in this case, that would be Jan. 16th -- as opposed to launching new ones.\r\n\r\nSince this is also the last Moon phase before the Solar Eclipse becomes exact, it also ends an Eclipse cycle; journeys begun around the time of the last Eclipse (Aug. 21st), especially those connected to finding our inner joy and a healthy self-expression of our talents, are now coming to completion.\r\n\r\nGiven that, what projects call for completion, so they can become milestones on your journey to happiness? Where have you learned to focus more on your heart\'s desire? What if you brought love and laughter to that? What have you discovered since August 2017?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find kind and creative solutions for whatever comes up, whether internally or with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-21 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Aquarius, Leo</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s last Quarter Moon.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (February 8th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><strong>until 8:53am EST (see Monday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday very early morning, at 2:16am EST,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 6.5 hours, <strong>until 8:53am EST.</strong> Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments in your life. As best as you can, find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations. Make space either for connections with like-minded people, for involvement in a cause, or for the creation of deeper emotional bonds.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday morning ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 8:53am EST</strong>,<em> </em><i>the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><b>, </b>where it will journey<i> <strong>until Saturday evening</strong></i><b>. </b>We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (February 9th): <b> </b></strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b></strong><strong> (see Thursday morning for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning, </strong>we may need to make some adjustments. As best you can, honor both your need for adventure and exploration of life <i>and</i> your need to go within. You may feel a pull between introvert and extrovert, or simply fast and slow. Tune in for a moment and see if you need to take a break or at least slow down a little. As best as you can, be compassionate and kind with yourself.\r\n\r\nOn <strong>Friday afternoon,</strong> we have the opportunity to connect and collaborate with like-minded people, have an adventure, or simply do something that gets us excited about the future.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (February 10th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><i>Sagittarius</i> until 9:21pm EST (see Thursday morning for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 11:38am EST,</strong> we enter an approximately 10-hour <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>; it lasts until<strong> 9:21pm EST</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self — explore, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 6:20pm EST,</strong> <i>Venus changes signs from freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> to creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, where she will journey <strong>until March 6th</strong>.  <strong>For the next four weeks</strong>, we have a chance to connect with other people from our compassionate heart. We may also idealize our relationships a little — we’re feeling quite romantic, and hopeful that our dreams will be fulfilled.\r\n\r\nWith Venus in Pisces, our love is very accepting -- it comes as close to \"unconditional\" as humans can get. One way this shows up: We root for the underdog. We prefer feeling things out, to planning.\r\n\r\nAs you can imagine, we may spend our money on things that don’t make “sense” -- but if we heed intuition and allow for money to flow freely, we may discover that the Universe is always taking care of us ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? If so, beauty and love will enhance your life for the next three-and-a-half weeks. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? You may feel a strong need for romance or unconditional love -- or dream of the ideal relationship. Your finances and values may undergo the spiritual process of releasing control and trusting more to intuition and the flow of life.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday evening</strong>, <em>a challenging Sun/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 6:21pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday evening (Feb. 13th).</strong> This aspect says “stretch and grow!”. There is a feeling of enthusiasm and excitement in the air; it almost seems as if we could move mountains.\r\n\r\nAwareness is key: Be alert for undue optimism, that could lead to overextending or over-promising: As best as you can, stay connected to what\'s real — avoid exaggerations, especially when it comes to your \"feeling body\".\r\n\r\nThis is a time for collaboration and for coming together — provided we don\'t let ourselves get too overwhelmed by those historically-based emotional demons. As best as you can, take it one moment at a time, staying grounded in your vision for life.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-25 degrees of</i><b><i> Aquarius, Scorpio, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 9:21 pm EST,</strong> <i>t</i><i>he Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until next week Tuesday late morning (Feb. 13th)</strong><b>. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now?

These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able to see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t actually make a decision. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 1:46pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 9 hours, <strong>until 10:56pm EST.</strong> Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 10:56pm EST</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey <b>until Thursday morning. </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (February 6th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b><strong>(see Monday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday evening,</strong> <em>an opportune Venus/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 8:37pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday morning on; it will remain strong until Thursday morning.</strong><b> </b>This gives us the opportunity to experiment with how we relate to others -- to do something different or unusual -- freedom plays a big part in this aspect.\r\n\r\nOf course, others are experimenting too, so you might experience some unusual or unexpected interactions during this time -- it\'s a favorable time for social meetings and events. As best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through your relationships.\r\n\r\nWe\'re also ready to experiment with our financial undertakings -- good places to look: all things \"tech\" (electronics, technology, internet); metaphysics; the arts; group activities. This is not the best time to make long-term financial investments not suggested in an intuitive flash ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, Uranus rules Aquarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (February 7th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b><strong>(see Monday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late morning, at 10:54am EST,</strong> the <em>last Quarter Moon in almost 19 degrees of <strong>Scorpio</strong></em> <em>makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in<strong> Aquarius.</strong></em> <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Scorpio on Monday late evening.</strong> <i>The Moon in deep-feeling </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> is making a challenging aspect to the Sun in emotionally detached </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>.</i> This may bring up some challenges. However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to the upcoming Solar Eclipse, a powerful New Moon in <b>Aquarius (on Feb.15th).</b> During the last Quarter Moon, we are better served by reviewing those projects we began around the last New Moon -- in this case, that would be Jan. 16th -- as opposed to launching new ones.\r\n\r\nSince this is also the last Moon phase before the Solar Eclipse becomes exact, it also ends an Eclipse cycle; journeys begun around the time of the last Eclipse (Aug. 21st), especially those connected to finding our inner joy and a healthy self-expression of our talents, are now coming to completion.\r\n\r\nGiven that, what projects call for completion, so they can become milestones on your journey to happiness? Where have you learned to focus more on your heart\'s desire? What if you brought love and laughter to that? What have you discovered since August 2017?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find kind and creative solutions for whatever comes up, whether internally or with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-21 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Aquarius, Leo</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s last Quarter Moon.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (February 8th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><strong>until 8:53am EST (see Monday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday very early morning, at 2:16am EST,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 6.5 hours, <strong>until 8:53am EST.</strong> Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments in your life. As best as you can, find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations. Make space either for connections with like-minded people, for involvement in a cause, or for the creation of deeper emotional bonds.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday morning ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 8:53am EST</strong>,<em> </em><i>the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><b>, </b>where it will journey<i> <strong>until Saturday evening</strong></i><b>. </b>We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (February 9th): <b> </b></strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b></strong><strong> (see Thursday morning for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning, </strong>we may need to make some adjustments. As best you can, honor both your need for adventure and exploration of life <i>and</i> your need to go within. You may feel a pull between introvert and extrovert, or simply fast and slow. Tune in for a moment and see if you need to take a break or at least slow down a little. As best as you can, be compassionate and kind with yourself.\r\n\r\nOn <strong>Friday afternoon,</strong> we have the opportunity to connect and collaborate with like-minded people, have an adventure, or simply do something that gets us excited about the future.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (February 10th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><i>Sagittarius</i> until 9:21pm EST (see Thursday morning for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 11:38am EST,</strong> we enter an approximately 10-hour <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>; it lasts until<strong> 9:21pm EST</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self — explore, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 6:20pm EST,</strong> <i>Venus changes signs from freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> to creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, where she will journey <strong>until March 6th</strong>.  <strong>For the next four weeks</strong>, we have a chance to connect with other people from our compassionate heart. We may also idealize our relationships a little — we’re feeling quite romantic, and hopeful that our dreams will be fulfilled.\r\n\r\nWith Venus in Pisces, our love is very accepting -- it comes as close to \"unconditional\" as humans can get. One way this shows up: We root for the underdog. We prefer feeling things out, to planning.\r\n\r\nAs you can imagine, we may spend our money on things that don’t make “sense” -- but if we heed intuition and allow for money to flow freely, we may discover that the Universe is always taking care of us ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? If so, beauty and love will enhance your life for the next three-and-a-half weeks. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? You may feel a strong need for romance or unconditional love -- or dream of the ideal relationship. Your finances and values may undergo the spiritual process of releasing control and trusting more to intuition and the flow of life.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday evening</strong>, <em>a challenging Sun/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 6:21pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday evening (Feb. 13th).</strong> This aspect says “stretch and grow!”. There is a feeling of enthusiasm and excitement in the air; it almost seems as if we could move mountains.\r\n\r\nAwareness is key: Be alert for undue optimism, that could lead to overextending or over-promising: As best as you can, stay connected to what\'s real — avoid exaggerations, especially when it comes to your \"feeling body\".\r\n\r\nThis is a time for collaboration and for coming together — provided we don\'t let ourselves get too overwhelmed by those historically-based emotional demons. As best as you can, take it one moment at a time, staying grounded in your vision for life.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-25 degrees of</i><b><i> Aquarius, Scorpio, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 9:21 pm EST,</strong> <i>t</i><i>he Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until next week Tuesday late morning (Feb. 13th)</strong><b>. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (February 11th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><strong>all day (see Saturday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning:</strong> we experience a sense of maturity, and of commitment towards ourselves and our long-term goals; for long-term success, focus on long-term projects that require a realistic approach or a solid commitment.\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (Feb. 12th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><strong>all day (see Saturday late evening for details).</strong> <em>Moon in <strong>Capricorn</strong> sextiles Neptune in <strong>Pisces</strong> at 12:08am EST.

If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, Uranus rules Aquarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (February 7th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b><strong>(see Monday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late morning, at 10:54am EST,</strong> the <em>last Quarter Moon in almost 19 degrees of <strong>Scorpio</strong></em> <em>makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in<strong> Aquarius.</strong></em> <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Scorpio on Monday late evening.</strong> <i>The Moon in deep-feeling </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> is making a challenging aspect to the Sun in emotionally detached </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>.</i> This may bring up some challenges. However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to the upcoming Solar Eclipse, a powerful New Moon in <b>Aquarius (on Feb.15th).</b> During the last Quarter Moon, we are better served by reviewing those projects we began around the last New Moon -- in this case, that would be Jan. 16th -- as opposed to launching new ones.\r\n\r\nSince this is also the last Moon phase before the Solar Eclipse becomes exact, it also ends an Eclipse cycle; journeys begun around the time of the last Eclipse (Aug. 21st), especially those connected to finding our inner joy and a healthy self-expression of our talents, are now coming to completion.\r\n\r\nGiven that, what projects call for completion, so they can become milestones on your journey to happiness? Where have you learned to focus more on your heart\'s desire? What if you brought love and laughter to that? What have you discovered since August 2017?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find kind and creative solutions for whatever comes up, whether internally or with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-21 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Aquarius, Leo</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s last Quarter Moon.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (February 8th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><strong>until 8:53am EST (see Monday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday very early morning, at 2:16am EST,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 6.5 hours, <strong>until 8:53am EST.</strong> Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments in your life. As best as you can, find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations. Make space either for connections with like-minded people, for involvement in a cause, or for the creation of deeper emotional bonds.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday morning ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 8:53am EST</strong>,<em> </em><i>the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><b>, </b>where it will journey<i> <strong>until Saturday evening</strong></i><b>. </b>We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (February 9th): <b> </b></strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b></strong><strong> (see Thursday morning for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning, </strong>we may need to make some adjustments. As best you can, honor both your need for adventure and exploration of life <i>and</i> your need to go within. You may feel a pull between introvert and extrovert, or simply fast and slow. Tune in for a moment and see if you need to take a break or at least slow down a little. As best as you can, be compassionate and kind with yourself.\r\n\r\nOn <strong>Friday afternoon,</strong> we have the opportunity to connect and collaborate with like-minded people, have an adventure, or simply do something that gets us excited about the future.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (February 10th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><i>Sagittarius</i> until 9:21pm EST (see Thursday morning for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 11:38am EST,</strong> we enter an approximately 10-hour <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>; it lasts until<strong> 9:21pm EST</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self — explore, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 6:20pm EST,</strong> <i>Venus changes signs from freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> to creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, where she will journey <strong>until March 6th</strong>.  <strong>For the next four weeks</strong>, we have a chance to connect with other people from our compassionate heart. We may also idealize our relationships a little — we’re feeling quite romantic, and hopeful that our dreams will be fulfilled.\r\n\r\nWith Venus in Pisces, our love is very accepting -- it comes as close to \"unconditional\" as humans can get. One way this shows up: We root for the underdog. We prefer feeling things out, to planning.\r\n\r\nAs you can imagine, we may spend our money on things that don’t make “sense” -- but if we heed intuition and allow for money to flow freely, we may discover that the Universe is always taking care of us ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? If so, beauty and love will enhance your life for the next three-and-a-half weeks. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? You may feel a strong need for romance or unconditional love -- or dream of the ideal relationship. Your finances and values may undergo the spiritual process of releasing control and trusting more to intuition and the flow of life.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday evening</strong>, <em>a challenging Sun/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 6:21pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday evening (Feb. 13th).</strong> This aspect says “stretch and grow!”. There is a feeling of enthusiasm and excitement in the air; it almost seems as if we could move mountains.\r\n\r\nAwareness is key: Be alert for undue optimism, that could lead to overextending or over-promising: As best as you can, stay connected to what\'s real — avoid exaggerations, especially when it comes to your \"feeling body\".\r\n\r\nThis is a time for collaboration and for coming together — provided we don\'t let ourselves get too overwhelmed by those historically-based emotional demons. As best as you can, take it one moment at a time, staying grounded in your vision for life.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-25 degrees of</i><b><i> Aquarius, Scorpio, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 9:21 pm EST,</strong> <i>t</i><i>he Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until next week Tuesday late morning (Feb. 13th)</strong><b>. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (February 11th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><strong>all day (see Saturday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning:</strong> we experience a sense of maturity, and of commitment towards ourselves and our long-term goals; for long-term success, focus on long-term projects that require a realistic approach or a solid commitment.\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (Feb. 12th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><strong>all day (see Saturday late evening for details).</strong> <em>Moon in <strong>Capricorn</strong> sextiles Neptune in <strong>Pisces</strong> at 12:08am EST.

I have been working on this for quite a while, and I am so excited that the day has finally come that I can introduce this to all of you! This new website will be especially wonderful for all of you who love Astrology or simply want to explore themselves on a deeper level and live life more consciously. My weekly Forecasts, my articles, as well as my Full Moon video will only be available for the public for another four weeks. At that point, I will offer all my content (except for the New Moon video) for members of my online community only.\r\n\r\nFor the next four weeks, I will be offering a super-dooper special discount for joining my online community to all my peeps who are already part of my mailing list and my social media platforms. This special discount will expire on Feb. 23rd; after that date, the fees will go up quite a bit -- so I do want to encourage you to <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\">join now</a>. The level you choose to connect with me now, that fee, will be locked in for life, so even, if my prices go up at any point in the future, this super-dooper special discount will be yours for as long as my website is in existence and for as long as you remain an active member ;-) The reason I am offering this, is to thank you for being part of my community already and for supporting me in bringing more conscious awareness to our world and to anyone who is ready to listen, grow and step into their own power more fully. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\">Click here to join my online community and enjoy free content all month long! </a>Looking forward to having you join me on this adventure, called life, and aligning yourself with the universal energies on a daily basis!

The energy of the Aries Moon bears on starting something new.\r\n\r\nOur gut impulses are strong; we feel energetic, spontaneous, enthusiastic and brave -- and perhaps impatient and impulsive. Excess energy is best channeled into physical activity.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 1:27am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><b><i>,</i></b> where it will journey <b>until Monday early evening</b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Monday</strong>, it\'s <em>time to actions on our New Moon intentions</em>: if you set Intentions Tuesday night, Wednesday or Thursday of last week -- after the New Moon became exact -- today will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (January 23rd):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced <strong>Aries</strong></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 11:16pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 9.5 hours,<strong> until Wednesday (Jan. 24th) 8:39am EST.</strong> Use this intuitive time to...

We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well. In other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-) This Moon placement starts the build up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Wednesday afternoon). <i></i>\r\n\r\nWednesday mid-afternoon, a Mercury/Pluto alignment 19.5 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 3:50pm EST.

If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (January 23rd):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced <strong>Aries</strong></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday at 11:16pm EST, </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">we enter a </span><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moon void of course (VoC)</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that lasts for almost 9.5 hours, </span><b>until Wednesday (Jan. 24th) 8:39am EST</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Your level of consciousness that you have now, is very different from what is was 12 or 24 years ago.

Since Libra is all about weighing our options and wanting to be fair and just, we tend to not make decisions very easily, rather we tend to go back and forth, back and forth, trying to get to the ideal of what we are seeking.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939887\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">\r\n</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939889\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">With Jupiter in Scorpio, the magnifying glass now swings over to authentic, emotional commitments or connections. We are invited to seek a deeper understanding of our subconscious drives and fears, of any suppressed or denied parts of ourselves, so we can feel more fully and authentically connected to all parts of ourselves (and thereby feel empowered). Everything in the human unconscious is lit up. </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939890\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">\r\n</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939892\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">Jupiter promotes a greater understanding of all of our emotions (the good the bad and the ugly, the instinctual and intuitive) and our ability or inability to have intimacy. We tend to have more of an all-or-nothing, do-or-die attitude towards life… Sex, money, power, shared resources and emotional vitality (i.e. passion) become key issues.  </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939893\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">\r\n</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939895\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">We can definitely attract the most good fortune when we give our “all” into a project or undertaking -- and use our magnetic powers to heal others.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939896\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">\r\n</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939898\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"><b>For the next 13 months,</b> we are supported in discovering our motivations and releasing what holds us back from achieving our true desires.

This is a good time for dealing with outdated psychological patterns, clearing out the basement, or embarking on an deep, meaningful adventure.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939899\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">\r\n</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939901\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">The phase now beginning emphasizes detoxing and clearing out what is \"broken\" or unhealthy, thereby giving us a new lease on life. We are more passionate and persistent at this time. We learn about giving up something in order to get (or create) something empowering (for ourselves and others — empowerment is key!) </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939902\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">\r\n</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939904\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">This process very well could operate on an unconscious level, so any shadow work that we invest in will pay off; we are able to feel more optimistic about our discoveries and we gain a new perspective about those suppressed or denied parts of ourselves.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939905\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">\r\n</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939907\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">Since Scorpio also deals with other people\'s resources, we can see greater possibilities when it comes to financial collaborations, and any gifts or talents that others offer us. Merging and connecting our talents with others will most likely feel exhilarating and create a fresh start or a new birth of some kind.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939908\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">\r\n</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939910\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">We are also more likely to be enthusiastic for deeper studies and meanings -- all that is taboo or mysterious (perhaps even occult), psychology, research of all types and levels... and the possibility for deep bonding, whether on a physical or emotional level. </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939911\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">\r\n</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939913\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">Questions you could ask yourself: What might promote a deeper connection to myself?

Learn what challenges and opportunities lie ahead; generate your life from a place of conscious creation. Every year builds on the year before; a year of empowerment and greater self-knowledge will not only bring its own satisfaction, it will also create a building block for the rest of your life. Start the year as you mean to go on: with a higher level of consciousness. You can schedule Solar Return readings up to 3 months before your birthday and up to 3 months after your birthday.&lt;/p&gt; [/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=\"Q.

It is a wonderful tool to use for releasing fears, \"old\" belief patterns, suppressed feelings... really, any energy blockages that keep us from being where we want to be. For myself -- and also speaking from my experience with my clients -- is a really great tool to understand ourselves better and to align ourselves with our highest potential, and with the energies as they are moment to moment; allowing life to be in alignment with our growth process. The Coaching; is a supportive tool in releasing the \"old\" programming and conditioning, that our day-to-day mind is attached to; therefore we connect to who we truly are and who we choose to be moment to moment. This creates more happiness and a greater ability for growth and evolution -- from a loving place, not a fearful one. You can book one coaching/healing session at a time. You would do that on my Services page. If you wanted to work together for an extended period of time, there are also packages available.

Connect the intentions to the energy of the sign that is connected to the New Moon; so if the New Moon is in Capricorn, align you intentions with the Capricorn energy (long-term goals, career, commitments, responsibilities, authority-figures, inner authority, etc.). The best time to set intentions is the first 48 hours after the New Moon has become exact; and it is always best to avoid any Moon void of course (VoC) phases. Please check my weekly forecasts for exact times on Moon VoC phases.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If a New Moon is also a Solar Eclipse, you want to wait 48 hours after the Eclipse has become exact, before setting your Intentions -- however, as with a regular New Moon, you still want to avoid any Moon VoC phases.&lt;/p&gt; [/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=\"Q.

When we are seeking to go beyond our current level, we need someone to show us how to fine-tune our perceptions, creating awareness, clarity and skill. For centuries, top athletes have used coaches; they understand that the only thing that will get them through the finish line is their own commitment combined with skilled support. In the past few decades, world-class business people, public speakers and others who face demanding and rigorous professional demands have also sought coaching to help them be their “personal best.” Now, more and more people from all walks of life are making a commitment to having a coach that sees their potential 100%, gives them pointers and supports them, no matter what.

At the moment of your birth, the Sun occupied a particular position in the sky. Every year on your birthday, the Sun returns to this position, marking the beginning of a new cycle in our lives – the “Solar Return.” With a Solar Return Reading, you can see how to make the most of your Personal New Year&#x2122;. Learn what challenges and opportunities lie ahead; generate your life from a place of conscious creation. Every year builds on the year before; a year of empowerment and greater self-knowledge will not only bring its own satisfaction, it will also create a building block for the rest of your life. Start the year as you mean to go on: with a higher level of consciousness. You can schedule Solar Return readings up to 3 months before your birthday and up to 3 months after your birthday.\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=\"Q.

It is a wonderful tool to use for releasing fears, \"old\" belief patterns, suppressed feelings... really, any energy blockages that keep us from being where we want to be. For myself -- and also speaking from my experience with my clients -- is a really great tool to understand ourselves better and to align ourselves with our highest potential, and with the energies as they are moment to moment; allowing life to be in alignment with our growth process. The Coaching; is a supportive tool in releasing the \"old\" programming and conditioning, that our day-to-day mind is attached to; therefore we connect to who we truly are and who we choose to be moment to moment. This creates more happiness and a greater ability for growth and evolution -- from a loving place, not a fearful one. You can book one coaching/healing session at a time. You would do that on my Services page. If you wanted to work together for an extended period of time, there are also packages available. Feel free to email me and I will send you the package discounts.&amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;gt;\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=\"Q.

It is still based on the Western, tropical system (same as traditional astrology), but the approach is that of viewing the birth chart from the soul\'s perspective, to see what we have come here (the earth plane) to do, to fulfill on our soul\'s journey and our soul\'s purpose.\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=\"Q. What is the best way to set New Moon Intentions and when?\" icon_color=\"#5b0c29\" _builder_version=\"3.0.96\" background_size=\"initial\" background_position=\"top_left\" background_repeat=\"repeat\" open=\"off\" use_background_color_gradient=\"off\" background_color_gradient_start=\"#2b87da\" background_color_gradient_end=\"#29c4a9\" background_color_gradient_type=\"linear\" background_color_gradient_direction=\"180deg\" background_color_gradient_direction_radial=\"center\" background_color_gradient_start_position=\"0%\" background_color_gradient_end_position=\"100%\" background_color_gradient_overlays_image=\"off\" parallax=\"off\" parallax_method=\"on\" background_blend=\"normal\" allow_player_pause=\"off\"]\r\n\r\nThe best way to word your intentions is to phrase them in the present tense, as if they are already happening. Connect the intentions to the energy of the sign that is connected to the New Moon; so if the New Moon is in Capricorn, align you intentions with the Capricorn energy (long-term goals, career, commitments, responsibilities, authority-figures, inner authority, etc.). The best time to set intentions is the first 48 hours after the New Moon has become exact; and it is always best to avoid any Moon void of course (VoC) phases. Please check my weekly forecasts for exact times on Moon VoC phases. If a New Moon is also a Solar Eclipse, you want to wait 48 hours after the Eclipse has become exact, before setting your Intentions -- however, as with a regular New Moon, you still want to avoid any Moon VoC phases.\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=\"Q.

When we are seeking to go beyond our current level, we need someone to show us how to fine-tune our perceptions, creating awareness, clarity and skill. For centuries, top athletes have used coaches; they understand that the only thing that will get them through the finish line is their own commitment combined with skilled support. In the past few decades, world-class business people, public speakers and others who face demanding and rigorous professional demands have also sought coaching to help them be their “personal best.” Now, more and more people from all walks of life are making a commitment to having a coach that sees their potential 100%, gives them pointers and supports them, no matter what. Why not give it a try?\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_accordion_item][/et_pb_accordion][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]', 'Frequently Asked Questions', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '2010-revision-v1', '', '', '2018-02-09 12:13:42', '2018-02-09 17:13:42', '', '2010', 'https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/2010-revision-v1/', '0', 'revision', '', '0');

Connect the intentions to the energy of the sign that is connected to the New Moon; so if the New Moon is in Capricorn, align you intentions with the Capricorn energy (long-term goals, career, commitments, responsibilities, authority-figures, inner authority, etc.). The best time to set intentions is the first 48 hours after the New Moon has become exact; and it is always best to avoid any Moon void of course (VoC) phases. Please check my weekly forecasts for exact times on Moon VoC phases.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;If a New Moon is also a Solar Eclipse, you want to wait 48 hours after the Eclipse has become exact, before setting your Intentions -- however, as with a regular New Moon, you still want to avoid any Moon VoC phases.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=\"Q.

When we are seeking to go beyond our current level, we need someone to show us how to fine-tune our perceptions, creating awareness, clarity and skill. For centuries, top athletes have used coaches; they understand that the only thing that will get them through the finish line is their own commitment combined with skilled support. In the past few decades, world-class business people, public speakers and others who face demanding and rigorous professional demands have also sought coaching to help them be their “personal best.” Now, more and more people from all walks of life are making a commitment to having a coach that sees their potential 100%, gives them pointers and supports them, no matter what.

Connect the intentions to the energy of the sign that is connected to the New Moon; so if the New Moon is in Capricorn, align you intentions with the Capricorn energy (long-term goals, career, commitments, responsibilities, authority-figures, inner authority, etc.). The best time to set intentions is the first 48 hours after the New Moon has become exact; and it is always best to avoid any Moon void of course (VoC) phases. Please check my weekly forecasts for exact times on Moon VoC phases.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If a New Moon is also a Solar Eclipse, you want to wait 48 hours after the Eclipse has become exact, before setting your Intentions -- however, as with a regular New Moon, you still want to avoid any Moon VoC phases.&lt;/p&gt;\n\n[/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=\"Q.

When we are seeking to go beyond our current level, we need someone to show us how to fine-tune our perceptions, creating awareness, clarity and skill. For centuries, top athletes have used coaches; they understand that the only thing that will get them through the finish line is their own commitment combined with skilled support. In the past few decades, world-class business people, public speakers and others who face demanding and rigorous professional demands have also sought coaching to help them be their “personal best.” Now, more and more people from all walks of life are making a commitment to having a coach that sees their potential 100%, gives them pointers and supports them, no matter what.

For myself -- and also speaking from my experience with my clients -- &amp;amp;amp;lt;strong&amp;amp;amp;gt;astrology&amp;amp;amp;lt;/strong&amp;amp;amp;gt; is a really great tool to understand ourselves better and to align ourselves with our highest potential, and with the energies as they are moment to moment; allowing life to be in alignment with our growth process.&amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;lt;strong&amp;amp;amp;gt;The Coaching&amp;amp;amp;lt;/strong&amp;amp;amp;gt; is a supportive tool in releasing the \"old\" programming and conditioning, that our day-to-day mind is attached to; therefore we connect to who we truly are and who we choose to be moment to moment. This creates more happiness and a greater ability for growth and evolution -- from a loving place, not a fearful one.&amp;amp;amp;lt;/p&amp;amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;amp;lt;p&amp;amp;amp;gt;You can book one coaching/healing session at a time.

I kept reminding myself of all the things I usually say to my clients: be kind to yourself, etc. :-)\r\n\r\n<b>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement: </b>\r\n\r\nFeel free to <a href=\"https://goo.gl/SZps6f\">check out my 15-minute excerpt</a> from our last Forecasting Forum about the Eclipses: https://…\r\n\r\nAnd if you want to know how that <span style=\"color: #666699;\">will</span> impact you personally, feel free to buy the whole 90+ min. webinar on the subject --  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-live/\">click here</a><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">: http://</span> -- we talked about what to expect for the next 3 weeks, and how it all applies to our own birth charts ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: Eclipse season continues all week; in other news, the last Quarter Moon in Scorpio becomes exact on Wednesday late morning, while Venus changes signs from Aquarius to Pisces on Saturday early evening.\r\n\r\nThere will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Monday afternoon (for a little over 9 hours), Thursday very early morning (for a little over 6.5 hours), and Saturday late morning (for almost 10 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (February 5th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in relationship-oriented</i><b><i>, </i></b><i>harmony-seeking </i><b><i>Libra </i>until 10:56pm EST. </b>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time; we are therefore open to compromise and negotiation. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able to see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t actually make a decision. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 1:46pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 9 hours, <strong>until 10:56pm EST.</strong> Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 10:56pm EST</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey <b>until Thursday morning. </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (February 6th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b><strong>(see Monday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday evening,</strong> <em>an opportune Venus/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 8:37pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday morning on; it will remain strong until Thursday morning.</strong><b> </b>This gives us the opportunity to experiment with how we relate to others -- to do something different or unusual -- freedom plays a big part in this aspect.\r\n\r\nOf course, others are experimenting too, so you might experience some unusual or unexpected interactions during this time -- it\'s a favorable time for social meetings and events. As best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through your relationships.\r\n\r\nWe\'re also ready to experiment with our financial undertakings -- good places to look: all things \"tech\" (electronics, technology, internet); metaphysics; the arts; group activities. This is not the best time to make long-term financial investments not suggested in an intuitive flash ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, Uranus rules Aquarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (February 7th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b><strong>(see Monday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late morning, at 10:54am EST,</strong> the <em>last Quarter Moon in almost 19 degrees of <strong>Scorpio</strong></em> <em>makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in<strong> Aquarius.</strong></em> <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Scorpio on Monday late evening.</strong> <i>The Moon in deep-feeling </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> is making a challenging aspect to the Sun in emotionally detached </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>.</i> This may bring up some challenges. However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to the upcoming Solar Eclipse, a powerful New Moon in <b>Aquarius (on Feb.15th).</b> During the last Quarter Moon, we are better served by reviewing those projects we began around the last New Moon -- in this case, that would be Jan. 16th -- as opposed to launching new ones.\r\n\r\nSince this is also the last Moon phase before the Solar Eclipse becomes exact, it also ends an Eclipse cycle; journeys begun around the time of the last Eclipse (Aug. 21st), especially those connected to finding our inner joy and a healthy self-expression of our talents, are now coming to completion.\r\n\r\nGiven that, what projects call for completion, so they can become milestones on your journey to happiness? Where have you learned to focus more on your heart\'s desire? What if you brought love and laughter to that? What have you discovered since August 2017?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find kind and creative solutions for whatever comes up, whether internally or with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-21 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Aquarius, Leo</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s last Quarter Moon.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (February 8th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><strong>until 8:53am EST (see Monday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday very early morning, at 2:16am EST,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 6.5 hours, <strong>until 8:53am EST.</strong> Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments in your life. As best as you can, find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations. Make space either for connections with like-minded people, for involvement in a cause, or for the creation of deeper emotional bonds.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday morning ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 8:53am EST</strong>,<em> </em><i>the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><b>, </b>where it will journey<i> <strong>until Saturday evening</strong></i><b>. </b>We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (February 9th): <b> </b></strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b></strong><strong> (see Thursday morning for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning, </strong>we may need to make some adjustments. As best you can, honor both your need for adventure and exploration of life <i>and</i> your need to go within. You may feel a pull between introvert and extrovert, or simply fast and slow. Tune in for a moment and see if you need to take a break or at least slow down a little. As best as you can, be compassionate and kind with yourself.\r\n\r\nOn <strong>Friday afternoon,</strong> we have the opportunity to connect and collaborate with like-minded people, have an adventure, or simply do something that gets us excited about the future.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (February 10th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><i>Sagittarius</i> until 9:21pm EST (see Thursday morning for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 11:38am EST,</strong> we enter an approximately 10-hour <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>; it lasts until<strong> 9:21pm EST</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self — explore, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 6:20pm EST,</strong> <i>Venus changes signs from freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> to creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, where she will journey <strong>until March 6th</strong>.  <strong>For the next four weeks</strong>, we have a chance to connect with other people from our compassionate heart. We may also idealize our relationships a little — we’re feeling quite romantic, and hopeful that our dreams will be fulfilled.\r\n\r\nWith Venus in Pisces, our love is very accepting -- it comes as close to \"unconditional\" as humans can get. One way this shows up: We root for the underdog. We prefer feeling things out, to planning.\r\n\r\nAs you can imagine, we may spend our money on things that don’t make “sense” -- but if we heed intuition and allow for money to flow freely, we may discover that the Universe is always taking care of us ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? If so, beauty and love will enhance your life for the next three-and-a-half weeks. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? You may feel a strong need for romance or unconditional love -- or dream of the ideal relationship. Your finances and values may undergo the spiritual process of releasing control and trusting more to intuition and the flow of life.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday evening</strong>, <em>a challenging Sun/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 6:21pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday evening (Feb. 13th).</strong> This aspect says “stretch and grow!”. There is a feeling of enthusiasm and excitement in the air; it almost seems as if we could move mountains.\r\n\r\nAwareness is key: Be alert for undue optimism, that could lead to overextending or over-promising: As best as you can, stay connected to what\'s real — avoid exaggerations, especially when it comes to your \"feeling body\".\r\n\r\nThis is a time for collaboration and for coming together — provided we don\'t let ourselves get too overwhelmed by those historically-based emotional demons. As best as you can, take it one moment at a time, staying grounded in your vision for life.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-25 degrees of</i><b><i> Aquarius, Scorpio, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 9:21 pm EST,</strong> <i>t</i><i>he Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until next week Tuesday late morning (Feb. 13th)</strong><b>. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (February 11th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><strong>all day (see Saturday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning:</strong> we experience a sense of maturity, and of commitment towards ourselves and our long-term goals; for long-term success, focus on long-term projects that require a realistic approach or a solid commitment.\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (Feb. 12th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><strong>all day (see Saturday late evening for details).</strong> <em>Moon in <strong>Capricorn</strong> sextiles Neptune in <strong>Pisces</strong> at 12:08am EST.

What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 11:36am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 6:44pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan all of Monday afternoon and early evening ahead of time\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 6:44pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Thursday morning</strong><b>.</b> The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius </i>all day </b>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Venus/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 8:39am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. </strong>This aspect<b> </b>asks us to stretch and grow beyond how we\'ve known ourselves in our relationships up to this point -- a process of maturing that requires we adjust and stay flexible.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, we want to make new and passionate connections while enthusiastically engaging with life; on the other hand, we feel a sharp need to focus on what we want to manifest long-term -- what works, what doesn\'t, what are our resources to make it happen, how can we move from A to B without missing anything essential -- in short, to determine what\'s real and can provide us with the best foundation for the next step. Do your best to make space for both of these urges.\r\n\r\nWe tend to be more cautious when it comes to relationships and finances now -- and in fact, this is not the best time to start a brand-new romantic relationship. Financially though, this aspect can be eye-opening; if we can find creative ways to deal with money, we will grow from it.\r\n\r\nThe key is to approach things in both realms with enthusiasm and maturity. Pushing will most likely not get us what we want: better to go one step at a time, slow and steady; that way, we can come back later with a stronger approach and more mature expectations.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><i> 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late afternoon,</strong> <em>a harmonious Sun/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 4:06pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Friday. </strong>It’s an opportunity to see things from a different perspective. What will lead us to this new vantage point?\r\n\r\nOptimism, an open mind, an open heart: Follow your enthusiasm as if it were a wilderness guide — and let yourself be creative and free, especially with or around other people.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday evening: </strong><i>the</i> <i>Balsamic Moon phase begins </i>when the Moon reaches 12º of <b>Aquarius. </b>This lasts <b>until Saturday morning</b>, when the New Moon in <b>Pisces </b>becomes exact (more on that later...however, <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/New+Moon.aspx\">feel free to watch my video on the subject</a> -- will be posted by Monday, March 11th).\r\n\r\nWe are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our inner sensing/intuition. For some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes.\r\n\r\nThis is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?<i> </i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 14th): <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b></strong><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Mars/Chiron aspect </em>becomes exact at 2:10am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Thursday night (March 8th) on; it will remain strong until next week Monday (March 19th). </strong>This aspect challenges us to see our own attachments and aversions as a normal, perhaps even valid, part of being human. That way, should we choose to express desire or anger (or even contempt or disgust), such expressions will feel natural and organic, rather than something that provokes shame.\r\n\r\nWe may experience situations that call forth our initiative and independence -- but may not feel confident that we can rise to the challenge, let alone follow through. As best as you can, when the challenge comes: Get into action, feel the excitement that comes with stepping out of the familiar. Ask yourself: What would my hero do?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 25-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or 0-1 degree of <strong>Capricorn, Aries, Cancer,</strong> or <strong>Libra</strong></i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\"> </b><i>will feel most affected by this aspect.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 15th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><strong> until 6:12am EDT</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 3:32am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 2.5 hours, <strong>until 6:12am EDT</strong>. If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it as an opportunity to explore larger truths and your own life further.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday early morning ahead of time\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 6:12am EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><b><i>, </i></b>where it will journey <strong>until Saturday afternoon</strong>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.<b> </b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday: </strong><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Friday late morning,</b> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours.\r\n\r\n<b>Friday, late in the evening, </b>we have the opportunity to be guided by inspiration, and fully commit to a project or task that might serve us long-term. As best as you can, listen and trust to the subtle messages in your heart, that stir you towards success.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 17th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><strong> until 2:57pm EDT</strong> (see Thursday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 9:11am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon will align with the Sun in almost 27 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong></em>; this marks the beginning of a new Moon cycle. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">Feel free to watch my New Moon video on the subject </a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Pisces</strong> is the last sign of the zodiac. It connects us to our spiritual journey, as it represents a reunion with Source/God/the Universe. When at its highest vibration, <strong>Pisces</strong> unifies all dualities -- it is completely aware of the oneness of all. It tells us there is a union within, that exists always, and we can tap into it.\r\n\r\n<strong>Pisces</strong> is accepting and aware of its eternal nature. It lovingly allows all, because it knows that there is no real separation between things, that separation only exists in the mind.\r\n\r\nAt it\'s lowest vibration however, <strong>Pisces</strong> feels separate, fearful, and victimized. It wants to escape the harsh physical realities of this world. We get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not go within to connect with our inner divinity, when we do not trust ourselves, our inner processes and intuitive Selves.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What stops me from connecting to my inner divinity? What if I opened to the perfection of life? What if I trusted to universal timing? Might plenty of down-time and rest actually support my reconnection with Source-energy or my intuitive Self?\r\n\r\n<em>This New Moon aligns with Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong></em>: this amplifies the message to be conscious of our intuitive/spiritual healing journey -- individually and collectively ;-) We are being invited to forgive our own \"humanness\" and open our hearts. Suppressing or denying our feelings and intuitive gifts is even less recommended now.\r\n\r\nThere is no shame in feeling things, in being sensitive, in being imaginative and kind -- not just with the people we love but publicly as well. We are invited to shift our perspective about \"feelings\" and \"being sensitive\", from perceiving it as weakness, to allowing it to be our strength, our gift.\r\n\r\nWe are invited to embrace all of who we are (including our emotional body), if we are to fully function in this world -- and if we are to create a world that supports all living things equally.\r\n\r\n<em>Chiron will be moving into <strong>Aries</strong> in April</em>, so as best as you can, think back over the last 7 years (while Chiron has been in <strong>Pisces</strong>); <strong>ask yourself</strong>: In what ways have I been able to heal my relationship to the divine? Am I more in touch with my own intuition now vs, then (2011)? What sensitivities or limitations have come up around the feeling-body? What still needs my love, understanding and compassion in those areas of my life?\r\n\r\nIf we can shift our perspective from \"failure and blame\" to \"growth and learning\", we have an opportunity here to take a quantum leap forward in our individual and collective evolution. If a mere 5% of us went through a transformation, imagine what that would trigger for all.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself</strong>: Am I going to be one of the 5%? What might shift if I allowed myself to flow with the energetic stream rather than struggle against it? What might be possible if I gave my body and mind the opportunity to slow down, perhaps even get completely quiet at least 5 minutes every day?\r\n\r\n<em>Venus, Mercury and Uranus are all in <strong>Aries</strong></em> at the time of this New Moon. This brings another dimension to the New Moon chart: an action-oriented and direct approach that supports our inner courage.\r\n\r\n<em>Mercury is stationing, preparing to go retrograde on March 22nd</em> (at 17 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong>), and is thus exalted.\r\n\r\nThis brings awareness to our day to day thinking, and how we process and share information; we are more impulsive and quick-minded, and may communicate from a place of passion and courage, or anger. We are also more aware of our own inner dialog and how assertive or aggressive it is.\r\n\r\nPay attention to what\'s \"in your face\" right now. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What\'s important to me? Where do I over-think? Where do I act (or react) without thinking? What are my physical and mental impulses telling me? What role does \"passion\" or \"courage\" play in all of this?\r\n\r\nWe also covered this in our last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the <strong>Mercury Station and Retrograde</strong> is going to impact you personally, feel free to watch the mp4 video-presentation of our last Forum -- we applied what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/jupiters-optimism-mercurys-mental-dance-from-within/\">Here is an excerpt from the webinar. </a>For the full 90+ min. webinars <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a> (available for purchase until March 30th)\r\n\r\n<em>The Mercury Station and Retrograde</em> invite us to go beyond the conditioning of our mind, our stories, and our script, and to release what is no longer in alignment with our personal goals, our passions, our \"true\" Selves.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What if I tapped into my inner courage? What if I communicated honestly, was fearless, was without apologies? What if I gave myself permission to start fresh? Every day, every moment?\r\n\r\n<em>Mars in <strong>Sagittarius</strong> squares the New Moon and Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong></em>. This might create some restlessness and uneasiness in regards to our healing journey this month. We may feel we are falling behind, become impatient -- easily annoyed, or simply angry at not being where we\'d like to be. We may want to move faster than our emotional/intuitive body is asking us to go at this time -- individually and collectively speaking.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself here</strong>: Am I using my warrior energy to defend my belief systems and view about life, or to explore larger truths? Am I asserting myself so I can walk my own talk, or using my anger to dominate and separate myself further from others?\r\n\r\nIs \"knowingness\" a way to make myself feel better about who I am (i.e. to feel superior), or a compass I can use to explore my life further? Are there any beliefs I hold dear that have limited my connection to Source/intuition? What might be possible if I applied a new approach and brought open-heartedness to those scripts?\r\n\r\nWe may feel triggered by others and may well trigger them. Some of that may feel connected to the past -- something in our history with someone else might be the trigger in question.\r\n\r\nWhen this happens, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> Is this somehow familiar? Is it possible it\'s historical? What does it remind me of? Am I attached to being \"right\" here? Could I welcome wanting approval, safety or control? What if opening my heart created space for all truths to co-exist side by side? No need for conflict, or right, or wrong... simply a space for all of it to be part of the larger sea of life. What might be possible if compassion were the warrior-energy of our heart?\r\n\r\n<em>Mars moves into <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact; it will play a major role for the rest of March and April. If you want to know how all of this is going to impact you personally, feel free to join the next Forecasting Forum -- we will go into Mars\'s involvement with Saturn, and with Pluto\'s Station and Retrograde phases in more detail -- and apply that insight to our own birth charts.\r\n\r\nThe next Forum will be on <strong>Monday, April 2nd, 2018 at</strong> 10am PST/ <strong>1pm EDT</strong>/6pm BST (London-time). <strong>For more info or to register at the regular fee,</strong> <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">click here</a>. <strong>To join for FREE</strong>, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/JLFckh\">become a Star or SuperStar Member</a> on my site\r\n\r\n<em>Neptune, the ruler of <strong>Pisces</strong>,</em> is currently in its own sign and brings a very clear message to this New Moon: for the next 28 days, as best as you can, unplug and listen deeply to your heart and soul. Allow for all feelings to flow; allow for yourself to be with what is.\r\n\r\nTap into the divinity within through any, some, or all of the following: meditation; being in nature; music; dance; energy healing; dream work; creative writing; art; being with your intuition. In the silence we feel the oneness with all there is, we feel the unconditional love the Universe provides.\r\n\r\n<em>Since 2011, when Neptune and Chiron moved into <strong>Pisces</strong></em>, we have been becoming more and more aware that we are One. Everything is energy, everything is connected and everything is in a continuous flow/movement. Each of us is like a drop of water, appearing to be individual, yet also a part of the big ocean of life. We are the sum of all parts: physical, spiritual, emotional, mental… and all that exists is part of the whole.\r\n\r\nTake 5-minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, to get quiet and be with yourself (your intuitive/feeling Self). What might become possible if you gave this to your body and mind on a regular basis?\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What might a healthy connection with the energetic world feel like? What if I were 5% more interested in my inner world? What if I simply embraced whatever I discovered there? Could I simply allow what \"is\" to \"just be\", just for this very moment?\r\n\r\nWe are invited to take actions that are aligned with intuition, and communicate our boundaries... perhaps even remove ourselves from situations, when that is the loving thing to do.\r\n\r\nIn other words: we move with \"all is well\", no matter what the appearance or view looks like, out there in the world. We trust our inner senses. This is something we need to relearn; we are so conditioned to focus on the outside world for answers, to look to our mind-chatter for answers, or to close off and protect ourselves. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What results might I get if I tapped into inner courage, inner sensing/intuition, and the power of compassion... all at the same time?\r\n\r\nAgain, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">feel free to watch my video on the subject .</a>\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in one of the following placements: 25-29 degrees of <strong>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </strong>or<strong> Sagittarius</strong>? If so, you may feel the effects of this extra-powerful New Moon more strongly for the next 6 months. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in <strong>Leo </strong>or<strong> Cancer</strong> (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</em>\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to <i>set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle</i>. Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <strong><i>not</i> </strong>during a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions</i> would be <b>between 2:47pm EDT today (March 17th) and 9:11am EDT Monday morning (March 19th).</b>\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EDT (US East Coast-time), feel free to join my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> <i>or</i> follow me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders on Saturday afternoon, Sunday throughout the day, and Monday morning to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nPart of the reason for this is that on<strong> Saturday at 9:12am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 5.5 hours, <strong>until 2:57pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to go within and meditate or pray/give thanks/converse with your higher Self.\r\n\r\nThis will support us in feeling connected to our inner Universe -- and of course, it will be a tremendous help in healing our emotional wounds. Finally, as always during VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday morning and afternoon ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 12:40pm EDT,</strong> <i>Mars changes signs </i><i>from optimistic, adventurous</i><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> to realistic, prestige-and-accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until May 16th</strong>. For those 8.5 weeks, we tend to feel more determined, goal-oriented and focused. We are not afraid to work hard on attainable goals so that we can see tangible results.\r\n\r\nOur drive to succeed is quite strong, especially when we feel a need for physical and material security — that is, in the realm of all that can be seen and held. Our self-control tends to be quite strong around the expression of \"drives\" -- things like anger, energy, ambition, and sexuality -- in fact, with Mars in Capricorn we are at our least impulsive, with a powerful need to stay in control.\r\n\r\nBecause we have such a strong sense of responsibility, we need to be careful not to start using work to hide from others. Anger can easily get channeled into our work as well. As best as you can, be kind to yourself, remember we all do the best we can; there is no need for extra pressure.\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more focused and determent. You may want to get down to business. If you are a </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 8.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 2:57pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><b><i>,</i></b> where it will journey <b><strong>until Monday evening</strong></b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday after 2:57pm EDT, </b>it\'s time to start setting your Intentions of this Moon cycle.<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here</a><i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 18th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries </i>all day</b> (see Saturday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday night/Sunday very early morning</b> <i>Mercury starts its station-phase</i>. From<b> today on, </b>right through<b> March 29th.</b> <i>Mercury slows down tremendously</i><i>,</i> as it prepares to come to a halt before turning retrograde on March 22nd. During the station, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments during the retrograde -- or the shadow phase that follows.\r\n\r\nFor the next 12 days, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait until after May 3rd, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 14-19 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></i><b><i>, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday evening,</strong> <em>a Sun/Chiron alignment in 28 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:15pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Wednesday evening (March 21st). </strong>This gives us an opportunity to heal insecurities or shame through conscious awareness.\r\n\r\nBecoming aware of old wounds or limitations is the first step toward healing them. Bringing compassion, self-acceptance, and love to it is the second. Together, steps one and two make for a beautiful healing experience.\r\n\r\nIt will help to stay grounded — connected to the Earth and your body. If waves of feeling come up, let them, simply observe the waves. Ask yourself: Am I the \"wave\" or am I more than that? As best as you can, allow all \"waves\" to wash ashore, and allow yourself to rest as the vastness that you are (just like the ocean is to the waves).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 25-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of <strong>Aries, Libra, Cancer</strong> or <strong>Capricorn</strong></i><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso, <b>Sunday all day: </b>If you haven\'t gotten around to it yet,<i> </i><i>set your Intentions</i> for this Moon cycle...

So I am asking if you are willing and able to take the time to enlighten me?</div>\n<div></div>\n<div>In regards to your question about the Saturn return:</div>\n<!--more-->\n<div id=\"ctrl-13366692\">\n\nSaturn is the energy in us that represents our inner adult, our ability to create structures in our lives, our ability to deal with reality on reality\'s terms, it is life\'s teacher. Living in a physical body in a physical world, we must obey the laws of that world and that reality. This reality comes with limitations and boundaries. Saturn teaches us about those things. For example: being a spirit being in a physical body, you cannot walk through solid objects; you must walk around them, or find an opening to walk through. This means we need to slow down. We might need to take the longer route...Saturn therefore is also about time and maturity, responsibility and commitment.\n\nSaturn has about a 29 year cycle. Every 28-29 years it comes back to the original place in your birth chart. When that happens, we are finishing one cycle of maturity and beginning a new one. We are being asked to start taking life more serious at that point, take more responsibility for our actions, interactions and long-term goals. We are being asks to make bigger commitments.\n\nDepending on where Saturn is in our chart and how it interacts with other planets in our chart, this might affect each of us in a different way.\n\nThe place where Saturn lives in your chart shows you, which area of your life is most affected by this transit. The house ruled by Capricorn is also going to be affected by this new cycle. If Saturn has more challenging aspects than supporting aspects in your birth chart with other planets, the Saturn Return might require more personal growth and might be more of a life changing experience than if it is the other way around.\n\n</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-13366702\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-13366704\">If you would like to know more about your personal Saturn Return and how it does affect you, feel free to reach out and schedule a reading with me (sonja@AstrologerCoach.com).</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-13366705\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-13366707\">Many blessings,</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-13366708\">Sonja</div>', 'What is a Saturn Return?', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '3601-autosave-v1', '', '', '2018-02-07 16:59:53', '2018-02-07 21:59:53', '', '3601', 'https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/3601-autosave-v1/', '0', 'revision', '', '0');

Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday</strong><b> afternoon</b>, our focus intensifies -- we might even get a little obsessed with a project or task -- as best as you can, take breaks and don\'t forget to practice a little self-care ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday evening,</strong> we get the opportunity to investigate our deepest motivations and align them with our long-term goals and achievements (if we are awake at this time, of course). We are capable of great focus for the next couple of hours. As with all opportunities in life, this one is not simply handed to us, we have to make something of it. Might deeper perspectives into your psyche move you closer to long-term goals?\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday (Feb. 13<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> <i>the Moon remains in practical, </i><i>accomplishment-oriented</i><i> </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> <b>until 10:11am EST</b> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday very early morning,</b> <b>at 12:43am EST,</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for about 9.5 hours, <b>until 10:11am EST</b>.You may be aware of two seemingly conflicting desires: On the one hand, a need for serious, diligent accomplishment -- and on the other, a desire to break free and rebel against obligations.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take some breaks, and \"let your freak flag fly\" -- just for a moment -- and revel in it! As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your morning ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday at 10:11 am EST</b> <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> where it will be <b>until Thursday evening</b>. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday early evening</b> a <i>challenging Mercury/Jupiter aspect</i> becomes exact at 5:39 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from</b> <b>Sunday and it will be strong until Thursday. </b>This aspect asks that we grow and evolve in the following areas: how we communicate our vision for the future and how much we share with others. We may have to find creative solutions to communicate; we may have to learn about our thinking process and conditioning.\r\n\r\nWe want to share ourselves without limitation. We are thus inclined to exaggeration, often unintended -- and might struggle to transform ideas into reality. The upside to all this: we can be extraordinarily funny, interesting and creative.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday </b><i>an opportune Sun/Uranus aspect</i><b> </b>becomes exact at 9:23pm EST. <b>We started to feel this aspect Sunday evening on, and it will be strong until Thursday night. </b>We have the opportunity to become aware of an original or unique approach to life. Flexibility is the key to success at this time; pleasant changes may be in store -- certainly unexpected ones ;-)\r\n\r\nWhat is your uniqueness? How could you express that proudly and authentically? As best as you can, watch out for messages from the Universe! Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us: We have to \"realize\" it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo</i></b><i> or</i><b><i> Aquarius </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday (Feb. 14<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> (Valentine’s Day) <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>all day</b> (see Tuesday late morning for details)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday morning</strong> is an opportunity to connect with others and explore actively the things that can bring us progress.\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday </b>is also the <i>last day before the Solar Eclipse in</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact. There is some potent energy coming our way; it would be wise to prepare ourselves to be transformed by it, allowing for our consciousness upgrade to be installed.\r\n\r\nThis is a good time to slow things down and go within. For many of us, this will be a stretch, as we want to do just the opposite: jump the gun, get started with something new, act impulsively, etc. This is quite common right before a Solar Eclipse. As best as you can, stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions and connect to your inner wisdom.\r\n\r\nIt comes down to this: just for now and just as best as you can... could you simply allow what is... to be? Could you simply be the “observer” until the upgrade is complete?\r\n\r\nRather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing things. Think back to late Aug. 2017 -- the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo. What did you start around then? How could you complete it, or move it to the next level?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take the days immediately before and after the Eclipse for meditation, contemplation, journaling — anything that supports an objective understanding of your own thoughts and visions.\r\n\r\nOf course if, like most of us, you have other obligations: take 5-minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, get quiet and be with yourself (i.e. your inspirational Self, your higher mind). Ask yourself: What might become possible if you gave this to yourself on a regular basis?\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday (Feb. 15<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>) </b>is a big day! <i>The Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>until 9:42pm EST</b> (see Tuesday late morning for details)\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday morning</b> an <i>opportune Mercury/Uranus aspect</i> becomes exact at 10:07am EST. <b>We started to feel this from aspect from Wednesday on, and it will be strong until Friday</b>.This is an opportunity to connect our thinking and communication to a brighter, more collaborative vision for the future.\r\n\r\nIt also brings an opportunity for insight, novelty, and some really unusual conversations. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to realize it.\r\n\r\nThis aspect also brings an opportunity to view things from a different perspective or put a new spin on \"old\" thinking. We like to connect in unusual ways; any group activities or brainstorming with like-minded people could generate amazing insights -- this might be a busy day. As best as you can, or want to... stay open to other dimensions ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> <i>(Mercury is the ruler of Virgo and Gemini; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\nOn <b>Thursday at 4:05pm EST, </b><i>a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse in 27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> becomes exact. </i>This is the beginning of both a new Moon cycle and an Eclipse cycle.  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\nEclipses take place approximately every 6 months; <i>Solar Eclipses</i> are extra-powerful New Moons that end one 19-year cycle and begin another — the last Solar Eclipse in this same degree of Aquarius was back on Feb. 16th, 1999. We are likely to experience a resonance between now and that time — \"resonant\", rather than identical — so think back to the Spring of 1999:\r\n\r\nWere there any major endings and beginnings? What was important back then? If there were a call this time to take those priorities to the next level… Where would that next level find you?\r\n\r\nIf you\'re looking for more guidance on those questions, I would suggest taking a look at your Natal Chart: the House placement of the Eclipse will indicate which area of life is the readiest for a new level of consciousness.\r\n\r\nIf that idea appeals, I suggest checking out my <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">30-minute class, \"How to Read My Birth Chart”</a> -- you might also want to purchase the video of the most recent Forecasting Forum -- we looked directly at our own birth charts to see how this Solar Eclipse will affect each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar, available on my website).\r\n\r\nOr...\r\n\r\n<b>Get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, <b>plus</b> a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\r\n\r\nAlthough we have experienced several Eclipses in the Leo/Aquarius polarity since last year, this will be the <i>first Solar Eclipse in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>. This points to a new beginning of some sort, with the visionary Aquarian energy impacting the area of life indicated by its house placement in our individual birth charts.\r\n\r\nSolar Eclipses reveal pathways that can take us to the next level of our evolution. They herald shifts in consciousness; the shift connected with this particular Eclipse will unfold over the next 6 months.\r\n\r\nThe Sun and Moon are connected to one of the Moon Nodes during an Eclipse; in this case, the South Node -- and <i>South Node Eclipses</i> can help us release energies or attachments that no longer serve our Soul’s evolution. Again, feel free to check out my webinar about the Eclipses to see where this new beginning and next level of your Soul\'s evolution takes place for you.\r\n\r\nEclipses are Uranian in nature; as such, they are times of uncertainty -- so pretty much anything could happen <b>between now and the end of Eclipse season (Feb. 25th).</b>\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, stay both grounded <i>and</i> flexible — and don\'t jump the gun: If you feel compelled to do something, do your best to simply observe the urge. The exception might be something that happens organically -- but if you are ambivalent about a possible action, better hold off at least until the end of Eclipse Season (Feb. 25th).\r\n\r\nEclipses bring major endings and beginnings. As best you can, trust that whatever is leaving is making space for something better -- the more willing we are to change, the easier it will be.\r\n\r\nThat said, projects and interactions that got underway prior to Eclipse season (i.e. before Jan. 21st) are another matter -- don’t stop your life just because it is Eclipse season ;-) Pay attention also to anything that got started at the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo, in August of last year.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Do I have a better understanding of what brings me joy? Am I more courageous and self-expressed?\r\n\r\nWith the <i>Solar Eclipse</i> in <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>, we have our eye on the future. The highest vibration of Aquarius gives us the opportunity to see a clear vision for our life -- and we are ready to make huge improvements.\r\n\r\n<strong>Aquarius</strong> also deals with the power of ideals, technology, and inventions. We are interested in the collective focus on changing group consciousness; we strive for equality, collaboration, progress. This eclipse invites us to bring this higher vibration to our ability to be courageous and joyful in our own right.\r\n\r\n<i>South Node Eclipses</i> invite us to become aware of the lower vibrations of a sign, so we can release those energies or attachments that no longer serve our evolution, and move toward the higher vibration of the sign -- in this case, that would obviously be Aquarius -- so what do the lower Aquarian vibrations look and feel like?\r\n\r\nAt a lower <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, we feel like outsiders -- as though we don\'t fit in, are maybe a little <i>too</i> different. We want to rebel against social structures that don\'t fit with our vision.\r\n\r\nWe get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not take responsibility for our part in the collective -- when we do not honor our individual genius, our unique contribution to society or our communities. Ask yourself:\r\n\r\nWhat stops me from connecting to my inner genius? What if I allowed myself to be both different <i>and</i> connected to others? What if taking responsibility for \"how things are\" was the perfect jump-start for a better future?\r\n\r\nTo move even further into that higher <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, try also asking yourself the following questions: Where am I called to make a difference? What could I, as an individual, do for humanity? And how might group consciousness help humanity make progress? Where can I begin?\r\n\r\nEvery single one of us has a special gift, a spark unique to us; when we access our inner genius and share it with the world, we can make quantum leaps of insight and embark on remarkable collaborations with others. Ask yourself: How does my inner genius communicate? Where does it want to show up?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) currently in <strong>Aries</strong>, sextiles the Sun, Moon, and Mercury in <strong>Aquarius</strong>. </i>This is a tremendous opportunity for all of us to become more aware of our individual impact on the collective: We are all agents of change. Already. Always.\r\n\r\nRight now, our individual capacity to effect change is far greater than we realize — especially for those of us with Uranus, Aquarius, or 11th house planets strongly emphasized in our birth chart — and when we team up with others who also care deeply about creating a better future, we can create real change.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How can I inspire others to foster progress? What becomes possible when we all connect with the intention to create meaningful change for everyone? For all living things?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong> squares the Solar Eclipse, sextiles Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, and trines Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong>. </i>This combo invites us to stretch ourselves for the duration of this Eclipse cycle -- to grow beyond what we currently know ourselves to be -- it supports our ability to build a more meaningful future and allows us to engage more fully in our current healing process.\r\n\r\nHere\'s a good start: We all have \"survival tactics\" we formed in response to past circumstances. Ask yourself: What if I expanded my awareness and comprehension of my personal survival tactics by just 5%? What might a new perspective on my fears and defenses show me? What if I relentlessly questioned old beliefs about intimate or financial partnerships? What might I discover about what has become true in the meantime? If I genuinely allowed this insight to change my behaviors and expectations, what might that look like?\r\n\r\nAs always when Chiron is involved, aim for wholeness, forgiveness — above all, keep a courageously open heart — our light shines all the brighter when all of our authentic self is visible, even the shadowy parts :-)\r\n\r\n<i>Eclipses</i> are a time for clarifying and affirming our highest path. We are bound to experience a release -- and a recalibration: “old” codes will get deleted and new programming downloaded. This is especially true when connected with our vision for the future (and for the collective).\r\n\r\nSuppressing or denying the unique gifts we each bring to the collective experience is even less wise than before; we are more aware than ever that we <b>are interconnected</b> and thus every single one of us contributes to the human experience and is capable of making a difference on this shared journey.\r\n\r\nSince Eclipse season continues until Feb. 25th, I highly recommend again that you treat yourself to the video of my most recent Forecasting Forum -- we covered the Eclipses, including this Solar Eclipse in <b>Aquarius</b>, looking directly at our own birth charts to see how this affects each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar on my website).\r\n\r\nOr...\r\n\r\nYou may recall that I now offer membership plans -- you could <b>get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, plus a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum, by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\r\n\r\n<b>Between now and Feb. 25th</b>, allow for the new templates to download; stay centered and do your best to ground from within. Try using conscious breathing, flexibility -- and best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body… And if nothing else, remember: this won\'t last forever -- in another two weeks, the downloads are complete ;-)  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">Again, I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in one of the following placements: 22-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, Scorpio, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly.</i>\r\n\r\nNow let’s talk “Intentions” :-) Regular readers will know that we usually use the time of the New Moon to set intentions for the coming month.\r\n\r\nWith a Solar Eclipse, we want to <b>wait 48 hours before setting our intentions </b>-- in Saturdays Forecast, I’ll be talking about setting some powerful intentions, not just for the next month as is usual for a New Moon, but for the next <i>six</i> months -- and I\'ll give you the very best times for setting them. <i></i>\r\n<i></i>\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Thursday late afternoon, at 4:05pm EST,</b> at the same time as the New Moon becomes exact, we also enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 6 hours, <b>until 9:42 pm EST</b>. Use this intuitive time to go within and meditate or pray/give thanks/converse with your higher Self.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your Thursday evening ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday evening,  </b><i>an opportune Venus/Saturn aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:19 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday night and it will stay strong until Saturday. </b>This aspect gives us an opportunity to bring a sense of realism to our relationships, values, and financial affairs: We are more able to see what really needs to be dealt with in those areas and take responsibility for our handling of them.\r\n\r\nOn a financial level, we have an opportunity to see more clearly when and how we might make long-term investments. There\'s no need to rush anything; think it through carefully and responsibly -- do the \"due diligence\". Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us, we have to \"take\" it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 4-8 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)</i>.\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday evening at 9:42 pm EST,</b> <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces,</i></b><i> </i>where it will journey <b>until Sunday morning</b>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<b>Friday (Feb. 16<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>) </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <b>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday morning</strong>, we get an opportunity to be wholly present -- and also to focus on practicalities and long-term plans. As best as you can, bring a sense of flow and faith to your business dealings.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning</strong>, we have a chance to connect with other people from our compassionate heart. If we heed intuition and allow for all things to flow freely, we may discover that the Universe is always taking care of us ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late evening,</strong> we feel a need to go within and slow down -- and at the same time, we also want to move fast and have new experiences. This tension clearly invites us to stretch a little, and to seek resolution via creative solutions -- the key here is to listen to our intuition, so we don\'t drive ourselves or others crazy.\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Friday late evening,</strong> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday</strong> is also Chinese New Year. I am not very well-versed in Chinese astrology, so I\'ll just share an excerpt from a newsletter I received last week: \"Today is the start of the Chinese year of the Earth Dog. In Chinese tradition, Earth dogs are faithful, considerate and well-disciplined.\" -- Astro Butterfly\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday (Feb. 17<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>): </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday morning,</b> <i>a challenging Mars/Neptune aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:20 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Sunday evening and it will be strong until next week Thursday morning</b>. This aspect is asking us to stretch ourselves, in order to resolve a tension between the things we want to go after, versus our feelings about a higher, spiritual calling. We may be chasing a dream... or a fantasy.\r\n\r\nOrdinary life may seem drab and uninteresting to us right now. We tend to either over- or underestimate our own power and abilities. We want something that stirs our imagination: Some vision or ideal or dream to motivate us.\r\n\r\nWe have a strong urge to act out our fantasies or live out our dream -- and we have the energy now to DO that which others only talk or dream about -- but we tend to feel scattered. As best as you can, slow down and listen to your intuition before aimlessly zooming ahead. Inspire yourself and others.\r\n\r\n<i>Most impacted by this aspect: those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 10-16 degrees of</i><b><i> Sagittarius, Pisces</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Gemini, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday early morning, </b><i>a Sun/Mercury alignment</i> <i>in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact at 7:27 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday evening on, and it will be strong until next week Tuesday evening. </b>This aspect indicates a confident mind and an analytical approach to life. Intelligence and communication abilities are strong at this time; however, we may not listen as well as the other speaks -- we might be too busy thinking about what to say next.\r\n\r\nGiven that this alignment takes place in <strong>Aquarius</strong>, we may feel particularly cool and collected, detached even -- do your best to avoid arrogance or rigidity of thought.\r\n\r\nWe want an active role in communications -- it\'s very hard for us to passively listen and absorb information right now. What we say or write now is impactful, so choose your words wisely: If people hung on your every word, what would you say then? What would you hold back from saying?\r\n\r\nOur opinions are strong and our thinking independent -- and we\'re proud of both -- so our egos may get bruised if we don\'t feel \"heard\". As best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have a different opinion and that\'s ok.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 26-29 degrees of  </i><strong><i>Aquarius, Leo, Scorpio, Taurus, </i></strong><i>or</i><strong><i> </i></strong><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\">Pisces, Virgo, </b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo, Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday</b><b> afternoon (after 4:05pm EST)</b> is also the best time to set<i> our powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse Intentions</i>. Doing so during a Solar Eclipse is a little different from the regular monthly New Moon process: we are setting those intentions for the whole 6-month Eclipse cycle, rather than just for the next 28 days.\r\n\r\nSo when is the best time to do this? With a Solar Eclipse it is best to wait 48 hours after the Eclipse has been exact before setting any intentions; as always, we also want to avoid any <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> phases.\r\n\r\nThis gives us two \"windows\" for our 6-month intention-setting (all times are EST, which is the New York timezone):\r\n\r\nThe first window is on <b>Saturday, Feb. 17th, between 4:05pm and 5:14pm.</b>\r\n\r\nThe<b> </b>second would be <b>between 7:05am on Sunday, Feb. 18th, and 4:05pm the following day (Monday, Feb. 19th). </b>\r\n\r\nMake them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the <strong>Aquarian</strong> energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nThis Solar Eclipse reminds us that to be fully alive requires us to constantly stretch, grow, and change. So, while writing your intentions, ask yourself: What would it take for me to release old patterns from the past? How might that free me to create a more powerful vision for the future?\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday early evening,</b> <b>at 5:14 pm EST,</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 14 hours, <b>until 7:05 am EST (Sunday morning)</b>. Use this intuitive time to explore any beliefs connected to past experiences that left you feeling disempowered: How could a compassionate approach to the past allow for a new perspective?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your Saturday evening and Sunday early morning ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Late Saturday evening at 11:28 pm EST </b><i>Mercury changes signs from freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> to creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i>.</b> It will journey through Pisces until <b>March 6<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b>. We are moving from the mind into the heart. For these next two weeks, we get a chance to communicate with compassion -- we see the commonalities between us all, rather than what separates us.\r\n\r\nWe seem to be connected to Source more easily during this time -- if we allow that energy to come through -- and our thinking will be very creative, imaginative and intuitive.\r\n\r\nThe key with this energy is to remain in the “here and now” and open up to a higher vibration. If we can do that, we will be able to download information from an intuitive place, rather than thinking things through. This could also be the reason why our mind is slowing down a bit and why we speak more softly.\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> also offers us an opportunity to let go of any mental structures, conditionings or fears that are no longer serving us. If you are not connected to your intuition, you may want to double check with other people, before signing any documents or buying any big-ticket items. Are you ready to connect to your intuition more fully? Can you allow for the unfolding process, trusting your higher Self more fully?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more talkative during this time. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you may need to learn to surrender to a slower pace and connect more fully to your heart and intuition.  </i>\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday (Feb. 18<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>): </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><b> </b>and<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><b> until 7:05am EST.</b>\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday morning at 7:05 am EST </b><i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries,</i></b> where it will remain <b>until Tuesday afternoon</b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday afternoon at 12:18 pm</b> <i>the Sun moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> where it will remain <b>until March 20th. </b>This brings our awareness to our sense of oneness with everyone and everything around us. We feel like sponges, able to pick up all energy around us; this also makes us more sensitive and emotional. We are more drawn towards expressing ourselves in a creative or spiritual way.\r\n\r\nMusic or energy healing gives us vitality and can heighten our own personal vibrations. We need to slow down a little and listen to our intuition more fully -- if we ignore our feelings and the subtle messages we are getting, we will most likely feel more anxious and somewhat frustrated. This could also be connected to the slow pace that our body or our surroundings are demanding of us.\r\n\r\nThe keyword here is \"allowing\": as best as you can, be aware of what you are resisting, moment to moment, and create some space -- allow it to be as it is. Notice when you are picking up someone else\'s feelings rather than your own.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces </i></b><i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, your vitality will depend on allowing things to flow and being gentle with yourself.</i>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\">Last but not least, </span><b>Sunday </b><span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\"><b>after </b></span><b>7:05am EST, </b> you have all day to set your Solar Eclipse <span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\">Intentions. </span>Make them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the <strong>Aquarian</strong> energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>.

Is this time especially more significant for me in (healing) because Chiron is now in my Natal Chiron/pisces?\"</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-14775253\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-14775255\">Thank you for reaching out and asking that question.</div>\r\n<!--more--> If you were born in 1968 your Chiron is probably in a very late degree of Pisces. This means that you are getting an opportunity for the next 5 years to do some deep emotional and spiritual healing. Chiron is also connected to our lineage. Wounds get handed down from generation to generation. So depending on what got handed down through your father or your mother, you are getting also a chance to do some healing work around that.\r\n\r\nWhen Chiron returns to it\'s original position in your chart, which will be in 2018, you have completed a Chiron cycle. Up until 2018 you have the change to desolve all issues that have caused insecurities in the past, possibly shame or guilt and emotional hurts.\r\n\r\nWith Chiron in Pisces healing comes from compassion towards oneself and what was inherited, forgiveness either towards oneself or knowing that forgiveness is already always granted by the Universe/Source, and letting go of any beliefs around being a victim or being victimized.\r\n\r\nHaving faith that everything happens for a reason and that there are no coincidences, knowing that each moment or interaction is a gift from the Universe to help us grow and evolve, these are the gifts that Chiron in Pisces teaches.\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-14775264\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-14775266\">Many blessings,</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-14775267\">Sonja</div>', 'Chiron in Pisces: Emotional and Spiritual Healing', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '3605-revision-v1', '', '', '2018-02-07 17:20:24', '2018-02-07 22:20:24', '', '3605', 'https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/3605-revision-v1/', '0', 'revision', '', '0');
INSERT INTO `wpfb_posts` VALUES('7047', '4', '2018-02-07 17:23:44', '2018-02-07 22:23:44', '<img class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https://astrologercoach.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Saturn-In-Passionate-300x226.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"226\" />Saturn changed signs from Libra to Scorpio on October 5th, 2012. Saturn\'s entry into passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio is a powerful placement for the next three years, as it creates a mutual reception with Pluto in Capricorn (until September 2015) -- Pluto and Saturn will be supporting each other\'s agendas, as long as they are in each other\'s sign.\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-14289139\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-14289141\">The last time Saturn changed signs from harmony-loving Libra to intense, all-or-nothing Scorpio was in November 1982 (and then again in August 1983 because of Saturn\'s retrograde phase). If you remember that period, you may recall what happened in the area of relationships for you (or for your parents) at that time. This time around, we are getting a chance to go to a new level, in regards to our relationships and long-term goals. We are starting a new chapter.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-14289142\">Saturn in Scorpio wants us to get down to business when it comes to our deep emotional bonds, either with ourselves or others. It\'s time to make some decisions. No more trying to see both sides of a situation, it\'s time to make some real choices. It\'s do or die; it\'s all or nothing. We are being invited to make some really deep changes in our lives. We are ready to put an end to things that are just simply not working for us anymore.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-14289144\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-14289146\">We are powerful in our own right, and Saturn invites us to create healthy boundaries with others. Where could you set some healthy boundaries for yourself? At work? At home? With your family?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-14289147\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-14289149\">We are now ready to focus on becoming whole. We can do this by taking a serious look at what qualities and behaviors need to be embraced: the good, the bad and the ugly. Bringing conscious awareness to all of who we are is the only way to feel empowered from within and to heal what was disempowered in the past. It\'s time to take responsibility for who we are and what we are capable of. How can you bring \"light\", awareness to the darker places inside of you?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-14289150\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-14289152\">Anything that doesn\'t completely resonate with us on a truthful and deeply passionate level is going to have to be cut loose. This may feel scary at first, but if we are being honest with ourselves, whatever we loose or cut loose was not adding anything to our lives anyways; so we are better off without it.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-14289153\">We are here now to get really honest about what we are passionate about, what we want to pursue long-term that resonates with us in a deep, authentic way. We need to make good on our promises now: it\'s not enough anymore to just talk about something -- it\'s time for actions and commitments. We can no longer waste time, we must do what is required, so that we can have deeper, more fulfilling experiences. This is true on a personal and on a collective level.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-14289155\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-14289157\">What would it take for you to fulfill your full potential? What is it that you are most afraid of doing? What if you just went ahead and did it?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-14289158\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-14289160\">On a collective level, we may need to look at our shared resources. These may be resources we share with other countries or the resources of our planet. It\'s a great time to clean up all the pollution in the air and in our waters -- and take responsibility for a healthy, whole connection to our planet.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-14289161\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-14289163\">For those of us who have Scorpio planets, a Scorpio Ascendent or a Libra Ascendent in a late degree: You may be coming out of a phase of your life that was a little confusing. A phase that had to do with ending things and preparing for the next phase of you life. Now it is time to actualize yourself, to begin anew and to start building something long-term. It\'s time to grow up and take responsibility for who you are and what you want. This is a new beginning for you, as best as you can, look reality straight in the eye and get it together. You won\'t be able to get away with being anything less than being a mature, upright citizen with complete integrity.</div>', 'Saturn in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio until September 2015', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '3598-revision-v1', '', '', '2018-02-07 17:23:44', '2018-02-07 22:23:44', '', '3598', 'https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/3598-revision-v1/', '0', 'revision', '', '0');

What will you do with this particular opportunity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">23-27 degrees</span> of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>?

We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support professional or personal goals. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: Where could I really dig in to solve a problem? How might passion help deliver on my long-term goals? How could other people\'s resources support my ability to create transformation? How might they help me stand in my power?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><b><i> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">17-21 degrees</span> </i></b><i>of</i><b><i> Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces </i></b><i>or <strong>Virgo</strong></i><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces). </i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday (Jan. 16th): </b><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>t</em><b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">he Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</span></i></b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day </b></span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">(see Monday for details).</span> </span></span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday evening, at 9:17pm ES</b>T<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,</span><em> the Moon aligns with the Sun in almost 27 degrees of Capricorn, </em>launching </span><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">a new Moon cycle.</span> </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is a good time to go within, to seed anything we would like to accomplish for the next 28 days, and maybe even beyond. The next section of this forecast will dig in to this in more detail; you may also want to watch my New Moon video :-) </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is the first New Moon of the year and since <strong>Capricorn</strong> represents the quest for mastery on the physical plane, some useful questions you can ask yourself include: </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">What is my relationship to the physical? Do I respect the laws of matter? Am I going about things in a realistic way? How committed am I really? Where does my inner compass point? What am I willing to undergo to overcome adversity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The highest vibration of <strong>Capricorn</strong> is the development of responsibility, resourcefulness, reliability, self-mastery, the ability to set realistic goals and healthy boundaries. The next 28 days are a perfect time to work on these areas. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, prepare for the future, make commitments and recognize responsibilities -- in other words, nurture your dreams in a realistic manner. Focus on setting and achieving practical and attainable long-term goals, one step at a time, one day at a time -- this is not about immediate results, it\'s about the quality of the foundation you are building.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> also invites us to set the kind of realistic limits and boundaries that allow everyone involved to learn from the consequences of their choices. Where in my life am I able to set realistic limits and boundaries? Where is that an obstacle in your life? What am I afraid of in those moments? What would be the worst of that?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> relates directly to the level of our maturity: We start out on a more instinctual, survival level; this stage is basically fear-based, with a scarcity mentality. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Once we get better at living on the earth plane -- and we understand the rules better -- we transition to goal-oriented ambition and self-challenge, seeking recognition and rewards. This phase is still sometimes fear-based, but already we are taking more responsibility for our part in achieving things, and we are manifesting on the physical plane. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Eventually, as we grow spiritually and learn more about the laws of matter, earthly ambitions are often replaced by some form of spiritual service. We recognize that personal gain is not the only (or even the highest) goal, we see that when we contribute to others, we are also giving to ourselves -- perhaps we also surpass the physical appearance of separation and connect to life in it\'s highest form.</span> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">At this level, we are living in pure accordance with our conscience, from a place of maturity and inner guidance.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: What if I developed 5% more discipline? Integrity? What about 5% more commitment towards something that aligns both with myself and with life itself? What would 100% responsibility for my life look like? What if I responded to situations in a way that respects and serves all those involved? </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">  </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> <em>This New Moon aligns with Venus and Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong> and squares Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>.</em> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">First let\'s focus on the alignment with Venus and Pluto: This conveys an extra-potent message about our perception of physical reality -- time and space -- and about our relationship to love, our values, power or feeling empowered. Ask yourself: If I truly had choice in the matter, what kind of future would I choose to step into? Who would I choose to connect with? Why? Who would I not choose to connect with? Why not?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Venus in conjunction with the New Moon</em> advises us to choose wisely and from the heart. Ask yourself: Am I true to myself? Am I working too hard without making enough progress? Am I expressing my feelings truthfully? Or hiding my true feelings from others? Am I in touch with what\'s important to me -- especially in regards to relationships? Am I happy? Could I love and respect myself and life 5% more?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">With this many planets in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, it is important for us to take breaks — or simply slow down and allow ourselves to tune in. It’s important to explore ways to stay heart-centered and grounded -- seek tools or people to help you with that exploration. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Now let\'s talk about <em>the square to Uranus</em> -- the energy of freedom, innovation and reform. This combo focuses our attention on the right use of power -- which respects the rights, needs, and gifts of all beings. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: Where do I need to be more courageous? Where do I need to \"think different\"? What if I became 5% more aware of my personal power? Where might I have given it away to others? And how might I begin to reclaim it? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Remember that change is not always progress. Consider all options first and then respond, rather than reacting; stay flexible and be willing to entertain new possibilities. What if -- in small or large ways -- I could help birth a new age, and with it a new world, one based on heart-centered consciousness and individual freedoms?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>The New Moon also sextiles Mars in <strong>Scorpio</strong> and Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong></em>. This is an opportunity to heal our collective wounds around any sense of spiritual disconnection in our world of accomplishments. We get a chance to connect more deeply with others and bring a powerful approach to what we are building and working towards. Our actions tend to be in greater alignment with our deepest desires.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: What if I could be both productive <em>and</em> gentle with myself at the same time? What would a compassionate approach make possible? What is pushing or pulling at me? How could my actions become a source of empowerment? What if I allowed all actions to flow from a deep sense of authentic connectedness? What if I forgave myself and others for having flaws or limitations?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Given that it rules <strong>Capricorn</strong>, <em>Saturn\'s placement in its own sign</em> plays an important role with this New Moon -- and if you\'d like to know how Saturn\'s journey in <strong>Capricorn</strong> will impact you personally over the next three years, feel free to check out my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, available for purchase <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-recorded-webinars/\">on my website</a> (or check out a<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/5067/\"> 30-minute excerpt for free :-)</a></span>\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>Saturn conjuncts Mercury in <strong>Capricorn</strong></em>. This reminds us of the power of our mind; that our thoughts and words matter. What am I doing, career-wise? What is the long-term plan? How can I honor and share those goals with others in a clear and honest way? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">It\'s time to seriously think about what no longer works. As best as you can, investigate your thought processes: What feels no longer useful in my approach? What if I got real about that? What might be possible if I took 5% more responsibility for my inner dialog, and the energy those thoughts disperse?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>To sum all of this up:</strong> We are invited to become mature, responsible planetary citizens, while honoring our individuality -- in other words, making a difference, one by one -- even when it seems as though we are too little to create a big shift on our own. No matter how small it may seem, every ripple moves something, changes something...</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">This cosmic combo also directs our attention to our bottom lines. What matters most to me? What are my priorities? Am I living my truth, and thus loving my goals? Where is it best to be flexible, and where must I remain focused and in alignment with my commitments? When have I felt the happiest? What if I committed 5% more to the things, people and places in my life that make me happy? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Inner strength and self-reliance come almost entirely from dealing with adversity. Obstacles are a part of life -- they show us where we have an opportunity to become more capable -- and also where we have gone out of alignment with outer reality or inner truth. Am I on the right track, as best as I can tell? Am I walking my own path? Or someone elses? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">What obstacles can I see or sense from here? What if there was value in those obstacles? Could I send them gratitude for being given the opportunity to get back into greater alignment with myself and reality?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Choose wisely for 2018: participate consciously in the evolution of existence on this planet; not from a place of fear, but from a place of knowing your inner strength and your own personal power -- the power of your heart and your humanity! Trust your inner truth! Feel free to watch my New Moon video as well :-)</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are also about to enter Eclipse season, as the first of two Eclipses becomes exact on Jan. 31st; I\'ll be talking more about this in my next Monthly Forecasting Forum on Feb. 3rd.

If possible, try to defer any major brand-new projects until after Feb. 25th, when this Eclipse season is over. If something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic… allow it to be.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Another Eclipse-related phenomenon: not only do Eclipses bring up uncertainty in us, they might also leave us nervous, anxious, unsettled and disoriented.

Remember: it\'s temporary and we are receiving an upgrade -- that\'s a good thing!</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Just like upgrading a computer, you will get all the information you need, as soon as the upgrade is complete -- so as best you can, be patient.

Take a breath. Relax. Find your peace. Don\'t require the Universe to move more rapidly than it is. It is actually working perfectly, and it will prove that to you if you will give it a chance. Really. Trust me on this.” — Neale Donald Walsh</span>\r\n<h3>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement:</h3>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are getting closer to the launch of my new online community!</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> Right now we are aiming for Jan.16th or 17th -- keep your fingers crossed for me ;-) I\'m super-excited, and at the same time, I also sometimes stress out about the scope of this amazing new beginning for myself and everyone out there who will join us. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">But as my spiritual coach likes to remind me, \"Life is an ongoing experiment\" and \"True professionalism is about being able to be flexible and kind about unforeseen situations that come up, allowing ourselves to learn from them and finding out how to make creative adjustments.\"</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>This week\'s headline item<span style=\"color: #000000;\">s</span></b>: the New Moon in Capricorn becomes exact on Tuesday; Venus changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius on Wednesday, and the Sun will do the same on Friday. Last but not least, Eclipse season begins on Sunday and runs until Feb. 25th.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>There will also be three <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week</strong>: Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning (for 2 hours), Friday morning (for a little over 8.5 hours), and Sunday evening (for a little over 5 hours).</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday (January 15th): </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day.</b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> It will journey there <b>until Wednesday very early morning. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, be truthful with yourself about where you are at: Do you actually have a realistic view about what is so, right now, in your life? Not what you wish it to be or what you would like it to be or where you see yourself going.... What is so right now? Once you know where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\", whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday very early morning, </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">becomes exact at 1:59am EST.</span><b> We started to feel this aspect from Friday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday morning. </b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Until Friday, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">23-27 degrees</span> of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday late evening: </b><i>an opportune long-term Jupiter/Pluto aspect </i>that we <b>started to feel back on Tuesday Jan. 3rd becomes exact at 11:13pm EST; it will remain strong until Wednesday, Jan. 31st </b>and brings with it an opportunity to deepen our relationships, business and personal alike. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">A positive attitude and deeper trust in our connections with others gives us the chance to build something meaningful and share our passions with them. We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support professional or personal goals. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: Where could I really dig in to solve a problem? How might passion help deliver on my long-term goals? How could other people\'s resources support my ability to create transformation? How might they help me stand in my power?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><b><i> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">17-21 degrees</span> </i></b><i>of</i><b><i> Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces </i></b><i>or <strong>Virgo</strong></i><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces). </i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday (Jan. 16th): </b><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>t</em><b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">he Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</span></i></b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day </b></span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">(see Monday for details).</span> </span></span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday evening, at 9:17pm ES</b>T<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,</span><em> the Moon aligns with the Sun in almost 27 degrees of Capricorn, </em>launching </span><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">a new Moon cycle.</span> </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is a good time to go within, to seed anything we would like to accomplish for the next 28 days, and maybe even beyond. The next section of this forecast will dig in to this in more detail; you may also want to watch my New Moon video :-) </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is the first New Moon of the year and since <strong>Capricorn</strong> represents the quest for mastery on the physical plane, some useful questions you can ask yourself include: </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">What is my relationship to the physical? Do I respect the laws of matter? Am I going about things in a realistic way? How committed am I really? Where does my inner compass point? What am I willing to undergo to overcome adversity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The highest vibration of <strong>Capricorn</strong> is the development of responsibility, resourcefulness, reliability, self-mastery, the ability to set realistic goals and healthy boundaries. The next 28 days are a perfect time to work on these areas. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, prepare for the future, make commitments and recognize responsibilities -- in other words, nurture your dreams in a realistic manner. Focus on setting and achieving practical and attainable long-term goals, one step at a time, one day at a time -- this is not about immediate results, it\'s about the quality of the foundation you are building.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> also invites us to set the kind of realistic limits and boundaries that allow everyone involved to learn from the consequences of their choices. Where in my life am I able to set realistic limits and boundaries? Where is that an obstacle in your life? What am I afraid of in those moments? What would be the worst of that?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> relates directly to the level of our maturity: We start out on a more instinctual, survival level; this stage is basically fear-based, with a scarcity mentality. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Once we get better at living on the earth plane -- and we understand the rules better -- we transition to goal-oriented ambition and self-challenge, seeking recognition and rewards. This phase is still sometimes fear-based, but already we are taking more responsibility for our part in achieving things, and we are manifesting on the physical plane. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Eventually, as we grow spiritually and learn more about the laws of matter, earthly ambitions are often replaced by some form of spiritual service. We recognize that personal gain is not the only (or even the highest) goal, we see that when we contribute to others, we are also giving to ourselves -- perhaps we also surpass the physical appearance of separation and connect to life in it\'s highest form.</span> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">At this level, we are living in pure accordance with our conscience, from a place of maturity and inner guidance.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: What if I developed 5% more discipline? Integrity? What about 5% more commitment towards something that aligns both with myself and with life itself? What would 100% responsibility for my life look like? What if I responded to situations in a way that respects and serves all those involved? </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">  </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> <em>This New Moon aligns with Venus and Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong> and squares Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>.</em> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">First let\'s focus on the alignment with Venus and Pluto: This conveys an extra-potent message about our perception of physical reality -- time and space -- and about our relationship to love, our values, power or feeling empowered. Ask yourself: If I truly had choice in the matter, what kind of future would I choose to step into? Who would I choose to connect with? Why? Who would I not choose to connect with? Why not?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Venus in conjunction with the New Moon</em> advises us to choose wisely and from the heart. Ask yourself: Am I true to myself? Am I working too hard without making enough progress? Am I expressing my feelings truthfully? Or hiding my true feelings from others? Am I in touch with what\'s important to me -- especially in regards to relationships? Am I happy? Could I love and respect myself and life 5% more?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">With this many planets in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, it is important for us to take breaks — or simply slow down and allow ourselves to tune in. It’s important to explore ways to stay heart-centered and grounded -- seek tools or people to help you with that exploration. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Now let\'s talk about <em>the square to Uranus</em> -- the energy of freedom, innovation and reform. This combo focuses our attention on the right use of power -- which respects the rights, needs, and gifts of all beings. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: Where do I need to be more courageous? Where do I need to \"think different\"? What if I became 5% more aware of my personal power? Where might I have given it away to others? And how might I begin to reclaim it? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Remember that change is not always progress. Consider all options first and then respond, rather than reacting; stay flexible and be willing to entertain new possibilities. What if -- in small or large ways -- I could help birth a new age, and with it a new world, one based on heart-centered consciousness and individual freedoms?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>The New Moon also sextiles Mars in <strong>Scorpio</strong> and Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong></em>. This is an opportunity to heal our collective wounds around any sense of spiritual disconnection in our world of accomplishments. We get a chance to connect more deeply with others and bring a powerful approach to what we are building and working towards. Our actions tend to be in greater alignment with our deepest desires.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: What if I could be both productive <em>and</em> gentle with myself at the same time? What would a compassionate approach make possible? What is pushing or pulling at me? How could my actions become a source of empowerment? What if I allowed all actions to flow from a deep sense of authentic connectedness? What if I forgave myself and others for having flaws or limitations?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Given that it rules <strong>Capricorn</strong>, <em>Saturn\'s placement in its own sign</em> plays an important role with this New Moon -- and if you\'d like to know how Saturn\'s journey in <strong>Capricorn</strong> will impact you personally over the next three years, feel free to check out my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, available for purchase <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-recorded-webinars/\">on my website</a> (or check out a<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/5067/\"> 30-minute excerpt for free :-)</a></span>\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Saturn conjuncts Mercury while in <strong>Capricorn</strong></em>. This reminds us of the power of our mind -- that our thoughts and words matter. What am I doing, career-wise? What is the long-term plan? How can I honor and share those goals with others in a clear and honest way? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">It\'s time to think seriously about what no longer works. As best as you can, investigate your thought processes: What no longer feels useful in my approach? What if I got real about that? What might be possible if I took 5% more responsibility for my inner dialog, and the energy those thoughts disperse?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>To sum all of this up:</strong> We are invited to become mature, responsible planetary citizens, while honoring our individuality -- in other words, making a difference, one by one -- even when it seems as though we are too little to create a big shift on our own. No matter how small an action may seem, every pebble makes a ripple...</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This cosmic combo also directs our attention to our bottom lines. What matters most to me? What are my priorities? Am I living my truth, and thus loving my goals? Where is it best to be flexible, and where must I remain focused and in alignment with my commitments? When have I felt the happiest? What if I committed 5% more to the things, people and places in my life that make me happy? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Inner strength and self-reliance come almost entirely from dealing with adversity. Obstacles are a part of life -- they show us where we have an opportunity to become more capable -- and also where we have gone out of alignment with outer reality or inner truth. Am I on the right track, as best as I can tell? Am I walking my own path? Or someone elses? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">What obstacles can I see or sense from here? What if there was value in those obstacles? Could I send them gratitude for being given the opportunity to get back into greater alignment with myself and reality?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Choose wisely for 2018: participate consciously in the evolution of existence on this planet; not from a place of fear, but from a place of knowing your inner strength and your own personal power -- the power of your heart and your humanity! Trust your inner truth! Feel free to watch my New Moon video as well :-)</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are also about to enter Eclipse season, as the first of two Eclipses becomes exact on Jan. 31st; I\'ll be talking more about this in my next Monthly Forecasting Forum on Feb. 3rd.

Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Social gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius.

An inner awareness needs to be developed in order to see what needs adjusting -- this aspect calls for flexibility.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We experience an internal stress between our masculine energies (assertiveness/aggression) and our need to express our unique spark (and the desire to make a difference).</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are being asked to go within and look at our personal goals and desires -- and reach a new perspective on how we go about achieving them. Are we driven by personal resistance and rebellion, or motivated to positively impact humanity?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Once we get clear about our deepest motivations, we will discover new ways to move forward and embrace our uniqueness in a healthy way; we can also learn how to demonstrate our strength and power more authentically -- from a place of love and abundance, rather than fear and limitation. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">How might you get in touch with your inner genius and share it with a true desire to empower others?  What \"old\" behaviors can now be released? </span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">What might a deep, passionate connection to my vision of my future self look like?</span> What might be possible if I could get 5% more comfortable with being uncomfortable?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-26 degrees of <strong>Scorpio</strong> or <strong>Aries</strong>?

This is a good time for financial undertakings involving the following areas: electronics, technology and the internet, metaphysics, the arts group activities.   </span>\r\n\r\n<em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in <strong>Aquarius</strong>?

A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">It\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\".

A book, a song, a movie, someone else\'s words… allow the Universe to speak to you. Open your mind to a higher vibration -- and remember, opportunities are openings... they aren\'t necessarily handed to us... we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.

If possible, try to defer any major brand-new projects until after Feb. 25th, when this Eclipse season is over. If something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic… allow it to be.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Another Eclipse-related phenomenon: not only do Eclipses bring up uncertainty in us, they might also leave us nervous, anxious, unsettled and disoriented. As best as you can, observe your feelings and stay grounded in the \"here and now\". Connect to your intuition and inner wisdom; they will help carry you through this period. Remember: it\'s temporary and we are receiving an upgrade -- that\'s a good thing!</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Just like upgrading a computer, you will get all the information you need, as soon as the upgrade is complete -- so as best you can, be patient.

I kept reminding myself of all the things I usually say to my clients: be kind to yourself, etc. :-)\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<b>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement: </b>\r\n\r\nFeel free to <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/eclipses-jan-feb-2018-13-min-excerpt/\">check out my 13-minute excerpt</a> from our last Forecasting Forum about the Eclipses.\r\n\r\nAnd if you want to know how these powerful Lunations <span style=\"color: #666699;\">will</span> impact you personally, feel free to buy the whole 90+ min. webinar on the subject --  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">: </span> we talked about what to expect for the next 3 weeks, and how it all applies to our own birth charts ;-) Only available until Feb.25th!\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: Eclipse season continues all week; in other news, the last Quarter Moon in Scorpio becomes exact on Wednesday late morning, while Venus changes signs from Aquarius to Pisces on Saturday early evening.\r\n\r\nThere will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Monday afternoon (for a little over 9 hours), Thursday very early morning (for a little over 6.5 hours), and Saturday late morning (for almost 10 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (February 5th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in relationship-oriented</i><b><i>, </i></b><i>harmony-seeking </i><b><i>Libra </i>until 10:56pm EST. </b>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time; we are therefore open to compromise and negotiation. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able to see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t actually make a decision. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 1:46pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 9 hours, <strong>until 10:56pm EST.</strong> Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 10:56pm EST</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey <b>until Thursday morning. </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (February 6th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b><strong>(see Monday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday evening,</strong> <em>an opportune Venus/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 8:37pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday morning on; it will remain strong until Thursday morning.</strong><b> </b>This gives us the opportunity to experiment with how we relate to others -- to do something different or unusual -- freedom plays a big part in this aspect.\r\n\r\nOf course, others are experimenting too, so you might experience some unusual or unexpected interactions during this time -- it\'s a favorable time for social meetings and events. As best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through your relationships.\r\n\r\nWe\'re also ready to experiment with our financial undertakings -- good places to look: all things \"tech\" (electronics, technology, internet); metaphysics; the arts; group activities.

I kept reminding myself of all the things I usually say to my clients: be kind to yourself, etc. :-)\n\n<b>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement: </b>\n\nFeel free to <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/eclipses-jan-feb-2018-13-min-excerpt/\">check out my 13-minute excerpt</a> from our last Forecasting Forum about the Eclipses.\n\nAnd if you want to know how these powerful Lunations <span style=\"color: #666699;\">will</span> impact you personally, feel free to buy the whole 90+ min. webinar on the subject --  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">: </span> we talked about what to expect for the next 3 weeks, and how it all applies to our own birth charts ;-) Only available until Feb.25th!\n\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: Eclipse season continues all week; in other news, the last Quarter Moon in Scorpio becomes exact on Wednesday late morning, while Venus changes signs from Aquarius to Pisces on Saturday early evening.\n\nThere will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Monday afternoon (for a little over 9 hours), Thursday very early morning (for a little over 6.5 hours), and Saturday late morning (for almost 10 hours).\n\n<strong>Monday (February 5th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in relationship-oriented</i><b><i>, </i></b><i>harmony-seeking </i><b><i>Libra </i>until 10:56pm EST. </b>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\n\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time; we are therefore open to compromise and negotiation. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\n\nWe may also be able to see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t actually make a decision. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\n\n<strong>Monday at 1:46pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 9 hours, <strong>until 10:56pm EST.</strong> Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\n\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)\n\n<strong>Monday at 10:56pm EST</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey <b>until Thursday morning. </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\n\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\n\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\n\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\n\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\n\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\n\n<strong>Tuesday (February 6th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b><strong>(see Monday late evening for details).</strong>\n\n<strong>Tuesday evening,</strong> <em>an opportune Venus/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 8:37pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday morning on; it will remain strong until Thursday morning.</strong><b> </b>This gives us the opportunity to experiment with how we relate to others -- to do something different or unusual -- freedom plays a big part in this aspect.\n\nOf course, others are experimenting too, so you might experience some unusual or unexpected interactions during this time -- it\'s a favorable time for social meetings and events. As best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through your relationships.\n\nWe\'re also ready to experiment with our financial undertakings -- good places to look: all things \"tech\" (electronics, technology, internet); metaphysics; the arts; group activities.

I kept reminding myself of all the things I usually say to my clients: be kind to yourself, etc. :-)\r\n\r\n<b>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement: </b>\r\n\r\nFeel free to <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/eclipses-jan-feb-2018-13-min-excerpt/\">check out my 13-minute excerpt</a> from our last Forecasting Forum about the Eclipses.\r\n\r\nAnd if you want to know how these powerful Lunations <span style=\"color: #666699;\">will</span> impact you personally, feel free to buy the whole 90+ min. webinar on the subject --  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">: </span> we talked about what to expect for the next 3 weeks, and how it all applies to our own birth charts ;-) Only available until Feb.25th!\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: Eclipse season continues all week; in other news, the last Quarter Moon in Scorpio becomes exact on Wednesday late morning, while Venus changes signs from Aquarius to Pisces on Saturday early evening.\r\n\r\nThere will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Monday afternoon (for a little over 9 hours), Thursday very early morning (for a little over 6.5 hours), and Saturday late morning (for almost 10 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (February 5th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in relationship-oriented</i><b><i>, </i></b><i>harmony-seeking </i><b><i>Libra </i>until 10:56pm EST. </b>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time; we are therefore open to compromise and negotiation. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able to see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t actually make a decision. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 1:46pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 9 hours, <strong>until 10:56pm EST.</strong> Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 10:56pm EST</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey <b>until Thursday morning. </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (February 6th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b><strong>(see Monday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday evening,</strong> <em>an opportune Venus/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 8:37pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday morning on; it will remain strong until Thursday morning.</strong><b> </b>This gives us the opportunity to experiment with how we relate to others -- to do something different or unusual -- freedom plays a big part in this aspect.\r\n\r\nOf course, others are experimenting too, so you might experience some unusual or unexpected interactions during this time -- it\'s a favorable time for social meetings and events. As best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through your relationships.\r\n\r\nWe\'re also ready to experiment with our financial undertakings -- good places to look: all things \"tech\" (electronics, technology, internet); metaphysics; the arts; group activities. This is not the best time to make long-term financial investments not suggested in an intuitive flash ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, Uranus rules Aquarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (February 7th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b><strong>(see Monday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late morning, at 10:54am EST,</strong> the <em>last Quarter Moon in almost 19 degrees of <strong>Scorpio</strong></em> <em>makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in<strong> Aquarius.</strong></em> <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Scorpio on Monday late evening.</strong> <i>The Moon in deep-feeling </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> is making a challenging aspect to the Sun in emotionally detached </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>.</i> This may bring up some challenges. However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to the upcoming Solar Eclipse, a powerful New Moon in <b>Aquarius (on Feb.15th).</b> During the last Quarter Moon, we are better served by reviewing those projects we began around the last New Moon -- in this case, that would be Jan. 16th -- as opposed to launching new ones.\r\n\r\nSince this is also the last Moon phase before the Solar Eclipse becomes exact, it also ends an Eclipse cycle; journeys begun around the time of the last Eclipse (Aug. 21st), especially those connected to finding our inner joy and a healthy self-expression of our talents, are now coming to completion.\r\n\r\nGiven that, what projects call for completion, so they can become milestones on your journey to happiness? Where have you learned to focus more on your heart\'s desire? What if you brought love and laughter to that? What have you discovered since August 2017?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find kind and creative solutions for whatever comes up, whether internally or with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-21 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Aquarius, Leo</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s last Quarter Moon.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (February 8th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><strong>until 8:53am EST (see Monday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday very early morning, at 2:16am EST,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 6.5 hours, <strong>until 8:53am EST.</strong> Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments in your life. As best as you can, find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations. Make space either for connections with like-minded people, for involvement in a cause, or for the creation of deeper emotional bonds.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday morning ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 8:53am EST</strong>,<em> </em><i>the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><b>, </b>where it will journey<i> <strong>until Saturday evening</strong></i><b>. </b>We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (February 9th): <b> </b></strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b></strong><strong> (see Thursday morning for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning, </strong>we may need to make some adjustments. As best you can, honor both your need for adventure and exploration of life <i>and</i> your need to go within. You may feel a pull between introvert and extrovert, or simply fast and slow. Tune in for a moment and see if you need to take a break or at least slow down a little. As best as you can, be compassionate and kind with yourself.\r\n\r\nOn <strong>Friday afternoon,</strong> we have the opportunity to connect and collaborate with like-minded people, have an adventure, or simply do something that gets us excited about the future.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (February 10th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><i>Sagittarius</i> until 9:21pm EST (see Thursday morning for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 11:38am EST,</strong> we enter an approximately 10-hour <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>; it lasts until<strong> 9:21pm EST</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self — explore, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 6:20pm EST,</strong> <i>Venus changes signs from freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> to creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, where she will journey <strong>until March 6th</strong>.  <strong>For the next four weeks</strong>, we have a chance to connect with other people from our compassionate heart. We may also idealize our relationships a little — we’re feeling quite romantic, and hopeful that our dreams will be fulfilled.\r\n\r\nWith Venus in Pisces, our love is very accepting -- it comes as close to \"unconditional\" as humans can get. One way this shows up: We root for the underdog. We prefer feeling things out, to planning.\r\n\r\nAs you can imagine, we may spend our money on things that don’t make “sense” -- but if we heed intuition and allow for money to flow freely, we may discover that the Universe is always taking care of us ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? If so, beauty and love will enhance your life for the next three-and-a-half weeks. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? You may feel a strong need for romance or unconditional love -- or dream of the ideal relationship. Your finances and values may undergo the spiritual process of releasing control and trusting more to intuition and the flow of life.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday evening</strong>, <em>a challenging Sun/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 6:21pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday evening (Feb. 13th).</strong> This aspect says “stretch and grow!”. There is a feeling of enthusiasm and excitement in the air; it almost seems as if we could move mountains.\r\n\r\nAwareness is key: Be alert for undue optimism, that could lead to overextending or over-promising: As best as you can, stay connected to what\'s real — avoid exaggerations, especially when it comes to your \"feeling body\".\r\n\r\nThis is a time for collaboration and for coming together — provided we don\'t let ourselves get too overwhelmed by those historically-based emotional demons. As best as you can, take it one moment at a time, staying grounded in your vision for life.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-25 degrees of</i><b><i> Aquarius, Scorpio, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 9:21 pm EST,</strong> <i>t</i><i>he Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until next week Tuesday late morning (Feb. 13th)</strong><b>. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (February 11th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><strong>all day (see Saturday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning:</strong> we experience a sense of maturity, and of commitment towards ourselves and our long-term goals; for long-term success, focus on long-term projects that require a realistic approach or a solid commitment.\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (Feb. 12th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><strong>all day (see Saturday late evening for details).</strong> <em>Moon in <strong>Capricorn</strong> sextiles Neptune in <strong>Pisces</strong> at 12:08am EST.

However, it also represents our greatest chance to overcome it and become whole. And with the spiritual insight of Uranus we can recognize the unity of body and soul not only in ourselves but in everything that exists... Chiron is not about achieving mastery through diligence and hard work as is the case with Saturn, or by releasing the energy bound to traumatic experiences as is the case with Pluto, but simply by accepting the deficit of not being \"whole\"... Only through our experiences with this feeling and the acceptance of not being \"whole\" can we begin to understand this problem in others... We share with others our compassion, our understanding, our experiences, and by doing this we can help them. This doesn\'t entail sacrificing something which makes us \"poorer\", on the contrary, we\"achieve\" a connection, create a wholeness where before there was division.\"</em>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-large wp-image-3163 alignnone\" src=\"https://astrologercoach.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Inner-and-Outer-planets-visual-1024x704.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"704\" />\r\n\r\nLook at the house placement of Chiron in your chart and at the ruler of the sign Chiron occupies.\r\n\r\nChiron in the natal chart points to our deepest wounds, whether physical, emotional, mental or spiritual – anything we wish hadn’t happened to us. This is also our “shadow” – the parts of ourselves we had to ignore, condemn, or lock away, in order to live within our family and society.\r\n\r\nAs Carl Jung so memorably said though ”The gold is always in the shadows”. Within these locked and darkened rooms lie all our benefits, blessings, lessons and gifts. When we reintegrate what we banished, we become truly unique – unlike anyone else who has ever lived. Chiron tells us that, no matter how painful or shameful, <em>every </em>wound holds a gift.\r\n\r\nTrying to “fix” these wounds sends the message that the wound itself is “wrong” and we are broken because of it – we are just driving it deeper into the shadow. The healing path to wholeness is simply to approach the wound ‐‐ and to accept our own perfection, exactly as we are (and are not). We sit with the wound compassionately, as we would with a wounded relative, until it reveals its gifts.\r\n\r\nChiron is not only a pointer then, it is also a catalyst for “self‐alchemy” – a way to turn our personal “base metals” into gold. It is both guide and process in this quantum leap of consciousness.\r\n\r\n<strong>Chiron</strong>: Bridge between Saturn and Uranus, link between social and outer planets: connects the worldly with the spiritual, the physical with the non-physical, we are being reminded of our humanity and to see it as a gift\r\n\r\n<strong>Outer planets</strong>: Uranus, Neptune and Pluto: they connect us to the Soul’s wishes, dreams and desires\r\n\r\n<strong>Uranus:</strong>The Soul’s wish for freedom and change (idealistic): divine creativity, innovation and intelligence (speed things up)\r\n\r\n<strong>Neptune:</strong>The Soul’s dream of oneness and unconditional love (spiritual):\r\n\r\nDivine love, presence and creativity (slows things down)\r\n\r\n<strong>Pluto:</strong>The Soul’s desire for feeling fully empowered and passionate about life (emotional): divine will, purpose and power (deepens our experiences)\r\n\r\n<strong>Moon Nodes</strong>: represent our Soul’s Journey: Past, Future and the integration of the two in the Present\r\n\r\n<strong>Look at the house placement of Chiron in your chart and at the ruler of the sign Chiron occupies.</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Chiron in Aries:</strong>\r\nApril 1st 1968 – Oct.18th 1968\r\nJanuary 31st 1969 – May 28th 1976\r\nOct. 14th 1976 – March 28th 1977\r\n\r\n<strong>Chiron in Taurus</strong>\r\nMay 29th 1976 – Oct. 13th 1976\r\nMarch 29th 1977 – June 19th 1983\r\nNov. 30th 1983 – April 11th 1984\r\n\r\n<strong>Chiron in Gemini</strong>\r\nJune 20th 1983 – Nov. 29th 1983\r\nApril 12th 1984 – June 21st 1988\r\n\r\n<strong>Chiron in Cancer</strong>\r\nJan. 1st 1940 – June 17th 1941\r\nJune 22nd 1988 – July 21st 1991\r\n\r\n<strong>Chiron in Leo</strong>\r\nOct. 1st 1940 – Dec. 31st 1940\r\nJune 18th 1941 – July 27th 1943\r\nJuly 22nd 1991 – Sept. 4th 1993\r\n\r\n<strong>Chiron in Virgo</strong>\r\nJuly 28th 1943 – Nov. 18th 1944\r\nMarch 25th 1945 – July 22nd 1945\r\nSept. 5th 1993 – Sept. 8th 1995\r\n\r\n<strong>Chiron in Libra</strong>\r\nNov.19th 1944 – March 24th 1945\r\nJuly 23rd 1945 – Nov. 10th 1946\r\nSept. 9th 1995 – Dec.29th 1996\r\nApril 6th 1997 – Sept. 3rd 1997\r\n\r\n<strong>Chiron in Scorpio</strong>\r\nNov.11th 1946 – Nov.28th 1948\r\nSept. 4th 1997 – Jan. 7th 1999\r\nJune 2nd 1999 – Sept. 22nd 1999\r\n\r\n<strong>Chiron in Sagittarius:</strong>\r\nNov. 29th 1948 – Feb. 9th 1951\r\nJune 19th 1951 – Nov.4th 1951\r\n\r\n<strong>Chiron in Capricorn</strong>\r\nFeb. 10th 1951 – June 18th 1951\r\nNov.5th 1951 – Jan. 28th 1955\r\n\r\n<strong>Chiron in Aquarius</strong>\r\nJan. 29th 1955 – March 26th 1960\r\nAug. 20th 1960 – Jan. 20th 1961\r\n\r\n<strong>Chiron in Pisces</strong>\r\nMarch 27th 1960 – Aug. 19th 1960\r\nJan. 21st 1961 – March 31st 1968\r\nOct. 19th 1968 – Jan. 30th 1969\r\n\r\n<strong>How are Pluto and Chiron Different?</strong>\r\n<table>\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td><strong><em>Pluto</em></strong></td>\r\n<td><strong><em>Chiron</em></strong></td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>Empowerment process</td>\r\n<td>Healing process</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>Letting go of what’s dead and toxic</td>\r\n<td>Acceptance, embracing our imperfections – allowing ourselves to be human, with compassion for our limitations</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td> Trauma or disempowerment from the past</td>\r\n<td>A wound handed down from our ancestors</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td>Attachments/control – holding on out of fear, wanting to protect ourselves</td>\r\n<td>Insecurity, shame, abandonment</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</tbody>\r\n</table>\r\nImagine you’re looking inside a refrigerator…\r\n\r\nYou spot a piece of fruit that’s been in there for too long and is starting to rot. You take it out and throw it away, so that the rest of the fruit doesn’t rot as well. We let the dead, toxic fruit go, so we can feel healthy and empowered. That’s Pluto…\r\n\r\nBut perhaps there’s another piece of fruit in the refrigerator, that has a dimple or looks crooked. We don’t necessarily throw it out – it’s not bad, it’s just “wounded”. We accept it for what it is and develop compassion for its “flaw”, for being less than perfect. We develop an understanding about what it’s like to be less-than-perfect and can therefore accept this in others as well.\r\n\r\nThat’s Chiron – the Wound itself feels like it is a “disconnect”, but it is actually the connector between the physical and spiritual realms.

Yahooooo! Bring it on! :-)\r\n\r\n<b>A quick announcement before we get started:</b><b>\r\n</b> Because it is <strong>my birthday this week</strong>, I wanted to give something of value, and I thought with all the changes that are coming, a <strong>30% discount</strong> on my 50-minute Coaching/Healing sessions would be a nice gift for everyone -- especially for those of you who are already doing monthly 25-minute Coaching/Healing sessions with me via the SuperStar Membership. I\'m running this special during my birthday week only :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>To take advantage of the special offer,</strong><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/coaching/\"> click here</a> and add one or more coaching sessions -- and when you get to your shopping cart, enter coupon code: <strong>BIRTHDAY_GIFT</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>PS:</strong> If you are holding back because you can\'t do a session this week, don\'t worry -- you can schedule it anytime between now and Nov. 2018 -- and if you want to stock up at this super-low price, go ahead and use the code on multiple sessions ;-) Looking forward to connecting and supporting you! May we all have a fantastic time adjusting to the new energies that are coming our way!\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: We have several planets changing signs this week -- Uranus (from Aries to Taurus, where it will journey for about 8 years), Mars (from Capricorn to Aquarius); Venus (from Gemini to Cancer) and last but not least, the Sun (from Taurus to Gemini).\r\n\r\nIn addition, the New Moon in Taurus becomes exact on Tuesday, and there will be four <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: Tuesday late afternoon (for almost 15 minutes), Thursday afternoon (3.5 hours), Saturday late afternoon (2 hours), and Sunday late evening (22.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (May 14th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Taurus</strong></em><strong> all day. </strong>We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.\r\n\r\nIn other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing until Tuesday late afternoon? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early morning: </strong>The best way to handle the first few hours of Monday (if you\'re awake) is to slow down a little and focus on what\'s sitting right in front of you, that needs to be taken care of, so you can get to the next phase of accomplishment.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late afternoon, </strong>we have an opportunity to...\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>ALREADY A MEMBER?

If there was a way to satisfy both desires at once, what would that look like? What does the bigger picture look like?<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday </strong>is also the <i>last day before the New Moon</i> becomes exact. This is a great day to let go of what no longer serves us. As best as you can, avoid jumping the gun: Rather than launching into brand-new endeavors or connections, wait until a couple of days has passed after the New Moon. Some of us might feel a little anxious or nervous today: As best as you can, get quiet and go within… Listen to the silence between the sounds… Find peace in the connection with your innermost and truest Self.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (15th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus</strong></em> <strong>until 4:43pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 7:48am EDT</strong>, the <i>New Moon in 24.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> becomes exact. This marks the beginning of a new Moon cycle. As best as you can, get really quiet, and see if you are getting any new messages or ideas. If you are, harvest them, and fold them into any intentions you set for the new Moon cycle -- I will talk about this process later in the forecast, and I’ll even give you the very best and most potent times for doing it :-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Click here to watch my video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\n<i>This New Moon in steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> places more focus on our interactions with the physical world -- you could say that we seek a healthier relationship with “matter\", one in which we are neither too attached, or too disconnected from our bodies, resources (such as money), and the planet we co-inhabit. We are powerfully reminded to take the time to honor the only planet we can currently live on — The Earth — we are called on to honor its resources and beauty.\r\n\r\nIn much the same spirit, we are invited also to honor ourselves, our bodies, our talents. This is a good time for reevaluating our relationship to money and possessions, and for discovering what truly makes us happy and fulfilled. Check in with yourself: What came to mind when you read this?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon trines Mars and Pluto in </i><b><i>Capricorn. </i></b>This combo promotes a realistic and responsible long-term approach. We have the chance to better align our goals with our values; it\'s easier for us to sustain what we have started, and bring a heightened sense of commitment to it all.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I am completely honest, what do I truly want for myself long-term? What really matters to me? If I felt the need to connect to something in a passionate way, what might that be? What truly fulfills me? And what modest step could I take today to move towards my goals?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus, </i>the ruler of Taurus, <i>moves through </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> at the time of the New Moon. This reminds us to learn and discuss Taurean issues: resources, appreciation of physical matter, natural beauty etc.\r\n\r\nThe spiritual quest of <b>Gemini</b>, on the other hand, concerns the development of perception, our powers of thought, and communication. As the creative power of the feminine, Venus in Gemini represents <i>the \"bringing together of opposites\" -- </i>people with different values, for example.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> When I picture this, what do I see? What might this look like in my various communities? How about within my relationships? Could exploring duality help me understand different points of views? Might curiosity be a vital tool in all of this? If so, what could I get curious about? What would 5% more flexibility do for my ability to relate to others?\r\n\r\nAnother thing worth mentioning: <i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>also</i> <i>makes a</i> <i>\"mutual reception\" to Mercury in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> <b><i>--</i></b> in other words, these planets are in each other\'s signs until May 19th; during that time, they \"mutually\" support each other\'s agenda. This gives us the opportunity to connect mind and heart.\r\n\r\nWe seek out mental stimulation: teaching, learning, writing, collecting and processing information, etc.... and we want to share the output in practical ways, applying it to the real world and ourselves, our values, and our physical experience of life.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, allow yourself to take your time processing things that you just started engaging with. In the meantime, stay open to learning, remain curious, and remember that every teacher is also a student and vice versa.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What if I listened to myself 5% more? What if I had 5% more faith that I\'d be heard? What might I discover about my thinking processes and my value? Is it possible my value doesn\'t need to be \"earned\"? What if, without my being alive, nothing else could be as it is?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus, in the last degree of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, makes a square to Mars in the last degree of </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b>at the time of the New Moon (more about this square when it becomes exact on Wednesday). As some of you already know, when a planet is the last degree of a sign, its energy is more exalted, as it knows that a shift is coming -- you could say that the rumbling of its vibration gets louder.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What am I waking to? Where do I need to assert myself? How might I do that while still keeping what I want to create long-term in view? What has been holding me back? What am I ready to address and change? What needs to happen so I can move forward in a mature fashion?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus moves into </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact (more on that below) -- starting its preview through this peace-loving, sensual sign until early November of this year -- I say \"preview\", because Uranus will return to <b>Taurus</b> in March 2019, for a 7 year-transit. These next 28 days will be ripe with shifts and changes, so stay centered in the here and now, expect the unexpected and allow yourself to make an inner shift -- as this paves the way for an outer shift. Flexibility is key!\r\n\r\nWe went over this upcoming shift in more detail in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how Uranus\'s journey through Taurus until 2026 impacts you personally, feel free to get the 120 min. long webinar on the subject; <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product-category/webinars/\">for more info or to purchase, click here </a>The fee for this is only $37, even though the webinar is 30 minutes longer than my usual webinars -- partly because we also cover Chiron\'s journey through Aries until 2027.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">You can also check out a brief excerpt of this webinar, here</a> Enjoy ;-) I also offer a <strong>Special Offer this month</strong>: sign up for Star or SuperStar Membership <strong>by May 31st</strong> (or upgrade from Universal to Star Membership via \"My Account\"), and get this webinar for FREE! If you are already a Star or SuperStar Member check your email for the link to this webinar -- it was emailed to you on April 30th ;-)\r\n\r\nThink back over the last 7 years (i.e. March 2011 - May 2018), while Uranus was in <b>Aries</b>, and <b>ask yourself: </b>Where did I make progress on my goals and desires? What structures needed to be renewed for me to break through and find a new or unique approach to who I\'m being? Do some of those structures actually need to break down? What self-realizations make me stand out and go after things in a more original way? How did this 7-year transit through Aries support my vision?\r\n\r\nIf you have a Birth chart, and know what to look for, look to see what Houses are connected to the <b>Aries</b> energy -- and if that sounds like I\'m talking a foreign language, feel free to watch my video: <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">How to Read Your Birth Chart</a> <i>or</i> <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">join our next Forecasting Forum</a> on <b>May 31st at 7pm EDT</b>, and ask me your questions there. We will cover the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that starts in June -- that will also be connected to Aries in your chart -- I will definitely explain this in great detail in the Forum ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> conjuncts Uranus in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> -- this alignment is exact on May 13th, in 29º of Aries, two days before the New Moon becomes exact<i>.</i><b><i> </i></b>This could bring some exciting possibilities, perhaps even a leap forward in the evolution of our consciousness, with flashes of insight into our own mental workings and some original thoughts coming through, etc.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, and as much as you want to (of course), stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What might a true breakthrough look like? What insights am I receiving? What is it I\'m learning about myself every day that might change my whole perspective?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury also makes a trine to Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>. With Saturn</i> being a part of the equation it is important for us to learn something new using a mature and realistic approach.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What concrete, practical plans could I make? Could I allow myself to take it one step at a time, staying grounded in the here and now? What does a truthful, realistic alignment with long-term goals look like to me?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> trines Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>at the time of the New Moon, bringing the potential for spiritual inspiration -- and it\'s a great time for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>How might more trust and empathy help my perception of intimate relationships? What might be possible for me if I allowed for things to unfold? What if I allowed myself to see the perfection in everything that I perceive right here, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> It is important to remember that we are part of nature, just like a tree, or an ocean -- our actions and interactions with the only home we have will change it, for good or ill. We are also developing an increasingly profound conscious awareness over the next 28 days that connects us to all that is alive.\r\n\r\nTo bring all this together,<b> ask yourself:</b> What baby steps could I take for the planet I co-inhabit? What would show my love and appreciation? What do I sense when I get very quiet and tune into my own energy field and the energy all around me? What really matters to my heart?\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <i>not</i> during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions </i>would be <b>between</b> <b>7:48am on Tuesday, May 15th and <strong>7:48am EDT Thursday morning (May 17th).</strong></b>\r\n\r\n<i>Note</i>, however, that there is a brief <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a><b> on Tuesday afternoon -- it runs from 4:30pm until 4:43pm EDT. </b><i>Don’t</i> set your intentions during those 13 minutes — instead, allow intuition to surface possible intentions while you wait. For more info on setting New Moon Intentions, <a href=\"http://goo.gl/jujnrD\">click here</a>\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EDT (US East Coast-time), feel free to join my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fan page</a> or follow me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday morning to let you know that it\'s the best time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nWhen setting intentions, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> What might shift if I focused 5% more on the beauty that already surrounds me?<i> </i>What might open up if I truly valued curiosity and open-mindedness? What if I learned to listen right past my conditioning and opinions? What if I took my time to respond? What might my heart want me to say? <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Again, feel free to also watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/IvgN28_yRKc\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 22-27 degrees of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>On Tuesday late morning, at 11:16am EDT</strong>,<em> Uranus changes signs from pioneering, fast-paced <strong>Aries</strong> to steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until November 6th. </strong>This is actually a \"preview\" of Uranus\'s coming 8-year transit through Taurus. I\'ll be posting a members-only essay on this major shift, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/uranus-in-taurus…actical-progress/ ‎\">click here to read it.</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in 0-2.5 degrees of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <i>will feel the impact of this first pass into Taurus  more than others. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> (Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius). Also: Uranus was  also in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> 8 3 years ago. If you were born 1935-1942, you will have a Uranus Return within the next 8 years.</i>  A new cycle begins in your individual journey towards creative Soul-Expression.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 4:30pm EDT</strong>, we enter a brief <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 13 minutes, <strong>until 4:43pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to take small steps on projects already underway -- or simply take a break and do a set of Sun Salutations or push-ups ;-)\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 4:43pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters chatty, versatile <strong>Gemini,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Thursday late afternoon/early evening. </strong>For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way…\r\n\r\nThe one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 16th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Gemini</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\nTuesday night/<strong>Wednesday very early morning at 12:55am EDT,</strong> <i>Mars changes signs from practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Capricorn</strong><i> to freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><strong><i>Aquarius</i>, </strong>where it<em> </em>will journey for an unusually long time, <strong>until August 12th. </strong>Due to the upcoming Mars retrograde phase that begins in the end of June, Mars will journey through<strong> Aquarius </strong>one more time,<strong> from Sept. 10th - Nov. 15th.</strong>\r\n\r\nI will be talking about the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that begins in June in my next Forecasting Forum. Mars will be stationing in Aquarius, and retrograding back into Capricorn. What does this mean for the current Healing journey of our masculine energies?\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how to align yourself with this planetary movement, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation.

How could you move that to the next level?\r\n\r\nDuring these times, when Mars travels through Aquarius, we enjoy surprising ourselves and others. The tried-and-true methods of getting things done are far too boring for us right now. We are looking for unique and original goals, and we tend to take a more original, forward-thinking view of the world now. What if, when you were least expecting it, you suddenly asked yourself \"How could I surprise the \"old me\" today?\" ;-)\r\n\r\nMental and intellectual pursuits are important to us now. The Aquarian ideal of equality is strong with this position, so we also place a lot of value in freedom and individuality -- our own <i>and</i> that of others. With Mars in this fixed sign, we will definitely need our independence, especially in personal relationships -- and we are not easily pushed around. It\'s best to give ourselves and others lots of space; if we feel boxed in, we may rebel or act contrary.\r\n\r\nIn general, we may feel a desire to push our agenda on others -- not in an aggressive way, though... more in a creative manner. As best as you can, bring a sense of openness to your approach to people and situations. Be aware of feeling superior to others: if you find yourself thinking that someone is less \"special\" than you, put your hand over your heart and ask \"what would my heart say to this?\"\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more detached, forward-thinking and freedom-loving. You may want to change things in your life that have outlived their use. If you are an </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 12.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mars/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:04am EDT. This is the first Mars/Uranus Square of the year in the fixed signs (Aquarius/Taurus). <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last week Monday (May 7th), it will remain strong until next week Friday (May 25th). </strong>This aspect asks us to get in touch with our desires and break away from anything that is holding us back. Passions and anger that we may not even know we had may emerge at this time.\r\n\r\nUranus urges us to let go of the past and focus on a better future. We may feel restless and impatient; we can be very demanding and difficult to please. We tend to feel like progress is too slow and we are tired of waiting. This could be an explosive time, as our inner rebel issues emotional challenges, while outer \"reality\" demands we change course.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, if you are the kind of person that doesn\'t go in for asserting themselves, this is an excellent time to try it out ;-) Do your best not to burn all your bridges, especially with any males in your family or in your various communities. We may also experience an awakening of sorts in regards to our sexuality.\r\n\r\nAccidents are unusually likely (though not inevitable), especially if our levels of activity and energy are erratic; to prevent this, stay as grounded as possible and keep breathing! Flexibility and open-mindedness are always helpful but are especially important now. Notice when you are digging your heels in about something, this is usually a sign that you have some underlying anxiety about something else; again, take a deep breath, get centered in your body, close your eyes and focus on your third eye.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What am I afraid of happening? How might I channel this restless energy into projects that are asking for progress? How might I channel, or just burn off, all this erratic energy? What kind of exercise might be an energetic match? Where am I stagnating? Where am I able to take innovative action?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or personal planets in </i><i>27-29 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn,</i></b><i> or 0-</i><i>3 </i><i>degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>?

You may also want to plan Thursday afternoon until early evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 5:47pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Saturday evening</strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it -- otherwise, you risk becoming drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday late evening, around 10:40pm EDT, </strong><em>the Sun in <strong>Taurus</strong> squares the Solar Eclipse degree</em> from Feb. 15th (27 degrees of <strong>Aquarius</strong>).

We can set aside unrealistic views and make concrete, practical plans, that help us explore our long-term goals.  <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe “get to the point” with no wasted time or words. Seeking a larger understanding, we speak our truth but temper it with adult caution and moderation. The reality of our beliefs gets clearer and our thought processes are more realistic. It is important for us to learn something new, with a mature attitude.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>5-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (May 19th)</strong>:<em> the Moon remains in protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer</strong></em> <strong>until 7:11pm EDT</strong> (see Thursday early evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday morning at 9:11am EDT</strong>, <i style=\"font-style: italic;\">Venus changes signs from chatty, versatile &amp; curious</i><i> </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Gemini</strong><i style=\"font-style: italic;\"> to protective, nurturing </i><strong><i>Cancer, </i></strong>where she will journey <strong>until June 13th; </strong> for those 4 weeks, we value family, loved ones, our home, emotional safety -- and real-estate dealings.\r\n\r\nWe prefer to be around safe, familiar people and places. We\'d rather stay home than socialize; if we do go out, we much prefer dinner parties at someone\'s home to dining out. When it comes to love, be gentle with each other -- and make sure to talk about your feelings.\r\n\r\nWith regards to our finances, it\'s best to stick to what feels safest and most secure. It\'s a favorable time for real-estate and interior design, or anything that makes the home more comfortable and livable.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel more shy for the next 4 weeks. Your heart will want to connect with family and loved ones. If you are a</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to have more love and beauty in your life, for as long as Venus is in your sign ;-)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:30pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening (May 17th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Monday morning (May 21st). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This gives us the opportunity to experiment with how we relate to others -- to do something different or unusual -- freedom plays a big part in this aspect.</span>\r\n\r\nOf course, others are experimenting too, so you might experience some unusual or unexpected interactions during this time -- it\'s a favorable time for social meetings and events. As best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through your relationships.\r\n\r\nWe\'re also ready to experiment with our financial undertakings -- good places to look: all things \"tech\" (electronics, technology, internet); metaphysics; the arts; group activities. This is not the best time to make long-term financial investments not suggested in an intuitive flash ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 28-29 degrees of <strong>Gemini</strong></i><b><i>, Aries, Leo, </i></b><b><i>Aquarius, </i></b><i>or 0-2 degrees of <strong>Cancer, Taurus, Pisces, </strong>or<strong> Virgo</strong></i><i>?

You may also want to plan Saturday late afternoon and evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 7:11pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Monday late evening</strong>. <span class=\"s1\">We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)</span>\r\n\r\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are also a big part of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.\r\n\r\nIf there are no children around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\nAgain, today<strong> (Saturday),  </strong>it\'s <i>time to take actions on our New Moon intentions</i>: if you set Intentions Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning -- after the New Moon became exact -- today <strong>before 5:14pm </strong>and<strong> after 7:11pm EDT, </strong>will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 20th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Saturday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning</strong>, <em>an opportune Mars/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:55am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Monday (May 14th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Friday (May 25th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This is an opportunity to accept the validity of our anger and desire so that we can learn to express these energies naturally and confidently.</span>\r\n\r\nThis could also inspire us to make resolutions and take actions towards healing our emotional and spiritual wounds. Remember: this is an \"opportunity\" -- those aren\'t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in the following: 29 degrees of <b>Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus, Scorpio, </b>or<b> </b>0-4 degrees of</i><b><i> Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, </i><span class=\"s1\"><i>you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Aries </i></b><i>(Mars rules Aries)</i></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late afternoon</strong>, <em>a challenging Venus/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:24pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday night (May 17th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Wednesday (May 23rd). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This aspect asks us to stretch past injuries and insecurities in our relationships, self-worth, and finances. If we can bring compassion and a different point of view to bear on these issues, we will reach a new understanding of ourselves and our life journey.</span>\r\n\r\nWe have the opportunity to learn from one another; ironically though, we may also feel insecure around others. Whenever Chiron is involved, we are being asked to do some healing work. As best as you can, use this time to learn about your sore spots. Nobody is perfect: we all have our flaws and idiosyncrasies. It\'s ok.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you get triggered by someone, as best as you can, take it as an opportunity to see where this trigger originated -- probably in your childhood. Bring love and compassion to yourself, as you are, and as you were (i.e. your \"wounded child\"). Allow <i>any</i> feelings this may stir up in you. A feeling is just energy that wants to be experienced, and honored; it wants to move through us and out.</span></p>\r\nThe more we resist our feelings, the more we keep them spinning in place. As best as you can, move from the head to the heart: What might change, if you showed 5% more compassion toward your inner wounded child? What if you just decided to take an active part in the healing process?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: 28-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i>0-5 degrees of </i><b><i>Cancer, Aries, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 10:06pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from early morning (May 20th) on, it will remain strong until Monday evening (May 21st). </strong><span class=\"s1\">We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward; we need to make a choice. We need to develop inner awareness, so we can make adjustments.</span>\r\n\r\nThis might concern compromising with others. Our enthusiasm might make us impatient or hasty with others. Our values may not be in alignment with those we work with. As best as you can, keep choosing the \"better\" alternative, adjusting as needed.\r\n\r\nWhen life slows down, or becomes uncomfortable, simplify and be patient. We are changing and growing in ways that we can\'t comprehend right now. Stay as open and observant as you can.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-3 degrees of</i><b><i> Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> (Venus rules Taurus and Libra; Mars rules Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening at 10:15pm EDT</strong>,the Sun changes signs from steady, sensual <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>to versatile, fast-thinking</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b>. It will journey through Gemini <b>until June 21st.</b> With the Sun in Gemini, the urge for self-expression is strong. We may be extra interested in collecting and sharing information. This is a time when curiosity and adaptability are favored. We are more flexible, changeable and adaptable -- which makes us quite social as well.\r\n\r\nWe enjoy intellectual conversations and we can easily become bored if we are not getting enough mental stimulation at this time. We are more objective and observant but prefer to keep things light and easy. There is usually a nervousness in the air at this time as well, as we are constantly seeking to connect and have new interactions. “Sharing” is the name of the game.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Gemini, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo, your vitality will most likely speed up and you feel more chatty than usual.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 11:30 pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 22.5 hours, <strong>until 10:03pm EDT </strong>(Monday late evening, May 21st). We are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we feel a strong need to have fun and be creative or self-expressed.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, we want to explore deep, authentic -- even intimate -- connections to ourselves or others. Do your best to use this intuitive time to make adjustments, slow things down a little, and find creative solutions that honor both drives.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday late evening and Monday all day ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>A heads-up for next Monday (May 21st)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a>, <strong>until 10:03pm EDT</strong>. <strong>Also on Monday at 11:49pm EDT</strong>, <em>the first Quarter Moon in 1 degree of <strong>Virgo</strong> becomes exact</em>; the Moon in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in chatty, versatile <strong>Gemini</strong>.

This is also our “shadow” – the parts of ourselves we had to ignore, condemn, or lock away, in order to live within our family and society.\n\nAs Carl Jung so memorably said though ”The gold is always in the shadows”. Within these locked and darkened rooms lie all our benefits, blessings, lessons and gifts. When we reintegrate what we banished, we become truly unique – unlike anyone else who has ever lived. Chiron tells us that, no matter how painful or shameful, <em>every </em>wound holds a gift.\n\nTrying to “fix” these wounds sends the message that the wound itself is “wrong” and we are broken because of it – we are just driving it deeper into the shadow. The healing path to wholeness is simply to approach the wound ‐‐ and to accept our own perfection, exactly as we are (and are not). We sit with the wound compassionately, as we would with a wounded relative, until it reveals its gifts.\n\nChiron is not only a pointer then, it is also a catalyst for “self‐alchemy” – a way to turn our personal “base metals” into gold. It is both guide and process in this quantum leap of consciousness.\n\n<strong>Chiron</strong>: Bridge between Saturn and Uranus, link between social and outer planets: connects the worldly with the spiritual, the physical with the non-physical, we are being reminded of our humanity and to see it as a gift\n\n<strong>Outer planets</strong>: Uranus, Neptune and Pluto: they connect us to the Soul’s wishes, dreams and desires\n\n<strong>Uranus:</strong>The Soul’s wish for freedom and change (idealistic): divine creativity, innovation and intelligence (speed things up)\n\n<strong>Neptune:</strong>The Soul’s dream of oneness and unconditional love (spiritual):\n\nDivine love, presence and creativity (slows things down)\n\n<strong>Pluto:</strong>The Soul’s desire for feeling fully empowered and passionate about life (emotional): divine will, purpose and power (deepens our experiences)\n\n<strong>Moon Nodes</strong>: represent our Soul’s Journey: Past, Future and the integration of the two in the Present\n\nLet’s talk about:\n<ul>\n 	<li>The difference between childhood experiences and adult choices.</li>\n 	<li>The importance of house placements for outer planets and Chiron</li>\n 	<li>Placement of Chiron between Saturn and Uranus: the link/bridge from the material/karmic world to the Soul\'s greater vision for life on Earth.</li>\n</ul>\n<strong>Chiron:</strong> the Wounded Healer: connect to the wounding within and rise above it through love compassion and understanding. Bring what you learn from this journey to the world, to others\n\nThe German astrologer Eva Stangenberg makes the following summary of these various themes of Chiron:\n\n<em>\"Chiron\'s position in the natal chart shows us where we experience a division between the material and the spiritual world, a wounding.

You take it out and throw it away, so that the rest of the fruit doesn’t rot as well. We let the dead, toxic fruit go, so we can feel healthy and empowered. That’s Pluto…\n\nBut perhaps there’s another piece of fruit in the refrigerator, that has a dimple or looks crooked. We don’t necessarily throw it out – it’s not bad, it’s just “wounded”. We accept it for what it is and develop compassion for its “flaw”, for being less than perfect. We develop an understanding about what it’s like to be less-than-perfect and can therefore accept this in others as well.\n\nThat’s Chiron – the Wound itself feels like it is a “disconnect”, but it is actually the connector between the physical and spiritual realms. Through the wound, we have the ability to learn compassion, and allow ourselves to be unique.\n<h3><strong>More Course Materials:</strong></h3>\n<ul>\n 	<li><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/12-Zodiac-signs-w-rulership-planets-copy.pdf\">12 Zodiac signs w-rulership planets</a></li>\n 	<li><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Chiron_s-orbit-copy.pdf\">Chiron_s orbit</a></li>\n 	<li><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/empty-chart-copy.pdf\">empty chart</a></li>\n 	<li><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Sonja-Francis-natal-copy.pdf\">Sonja Francis - natal</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">sonja@AstrologerCoach.com</span>\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"> www.AstrologerCoach.com</span>\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"> www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis</span></p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">All written materials handed out are © 2013 by Astrologer Coach Sonja Francis</p>', 'Chiron: Healing with Astrology', 'Where and how have you experienced wounding in your life?

Oct 2nd - Sun. Oct 8th, 2017 - <strong>Last week for me was all about spiritual and emotional healing and growth</strong>. This quote from Viktor Frankl resonated with me: \"The way in which a man accepts his fate and all the suffering it entails, the way in which he takes up his cross, gives him ample opportunity — even under the most difficult circumstances — to add a deeper meaning to his life.\"</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681639\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681641\"><b>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement: </b></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681642\">Very last chance to sign up for my FORECASTING FORUM, this <b>Friday at </b>12pm<b></b>PT/<b> 3pm ET</b>/8pm BST (London-time).<b> Please note that we will look at Jupiter changing signs from Libra to Scorpio on Oct. 10th</b> and <b>moving through this powerful sign until Nov. 2018,</b> in relationship to our own birth charts.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681643\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681645\"><b>If you would like to join live</b>, you must register at least an hour before the live event starts (before 11am PDT/2pm EDT) -- if you register after that time you will receive an mp4-video presentation of this event.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681646\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681648\">Other than <a class=\"userlink\" href=\"http://goo.gl/D0P2Rk\">booking a reading</a> with me, this is the highest level of support you can get -- and it\'s only $24 for the 90-minute webinar. <a class=\"userlink\" href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\"><b>To </b><b>register now, click here</b></a></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681651\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681653\"><b>This week\'s headline items: </b>the Full Moon in Aries becomes exact on Thursday afternoon; Pluto\'s energy remains exalted all week (its station phase ends on Oct. 10th). There will also be four <a class=\"userlink\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon VoC phases</a>: Monday late morning (for a little over 3 hours), Wednesday very early morning (a little over 13 hours), Friday evening (almost 1.5 hours), and Sunday late morning (12 hours).</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681655\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681657\"><b>Monday (Oct. 2nd)</b>: <i>the Moon remains in</i><i></i><i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius </i></b><i></i><b>until 10:26am EDT.</b> With this Moon placement, we often feel emotionally detached; when we do connect to our feelings, it\'s typically from a cerebral, intellectual place. We need a cause or project that resonates -- preferably one where we can connect with like-minded people.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681658\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681660\">For the next couple of days, we\'ll tend to be more eccentric or experimental; future-related issues like politics or education call to us now, as do unusual or even esoteric subjects like Astrology, UFOs... indeed anything from outer space. Our scientific approach to things leans on originality and ingenuity; we definitely love being unconventional.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681661\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681663\">The increased value we place on personal and emotional independence could make us come off as indifferent or cold in one-on-one interactions. That said, we can still be friendly and kind, provided we aren\'t pushed into doing something conventional or unethical.<i> </i></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681664\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681666\"><b>Monday at 7:13am EDT, </b>we enter a <a class=\"userlink\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 3 hours <b>until 10:26am EDT</b>. Use this intuitive time to fulfill your need for future exploration -- and allow for others to contribute new perspectives.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681668\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681670\">As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday morning ahead of time ;-)</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681671\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681673\"><b>Monday at 10:26am EDT</b>, <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><b><i>, </i></b>where it will journey<b> until Wednesday late afternoon.</b><b></b>This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681674\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681676\">But... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681677\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681679\">It\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.<b> </b></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681680\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681682\"><b>Tuesday (October 3rd)</b>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><i></i><b><i>Pisces </i></b><b>all day </b><b></b>(see Monday late morning for details).</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681683\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681685\"><b>Tuesday mid-afternoon, </b><i>a harmonious Venus/Pluto aspect </i><b></b>becomes exact at 3:09pm EDT.<b> We started to feel this aspect from last Sunday on; it will remain strong until this Saturday. </b>This aspect brings a fruitful and rewarding period in our lives. We experience new depths of intimacy (with an existing or new partner), we learn to appreciate the important people in our lives, and our value system transforms and evolves.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681686\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681688\">This is likely an excellent period for finances as well. Work we\'ve done might pay off, and we are able to manage our finances better, with more attention to detail, planning and strategy -- as well as the elimination of anything that no longer serves us. We might renew a commitment, or bring new, deeper and more intimate energy into a relationship under the influence of this aspect.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681689\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681691\">Our sexual lives might get a real boost now, as we tend to want to connect on a deeper level. We might find ourselves strongly attracted to someone, almost to the point of obsession. If this aspect connects with any of your personal planets, you might just meet the \"love of your life\".</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681692\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681694\">One thing is for sure -- relationships experienced now are bound to be unforgettable. While this transit tends to signal new or strengthened relationships, any relationship that ends during this cycle may leave us feeling liberated.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681695\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681697\"><i>Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in </i><i>14-20 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Virgo, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> will be most blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Venus being the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681698\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681700\"><b>Wednesday (October 4th)</b>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><i></i><b><i>Pisces </i>until </b><b>4:40pm </b>(see Monday late morning for details).</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681701\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681703\"><b>Wednesday at 3:19am EDT, </b>we enter a <a class=\"userlink\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 13 hours <b>until 4:40pm EDT</b>. We are pulled in two quite different directions: On the one hand, we experience a desire for inner silence, emotional oneness, and the flow of creativity through us. On the other hand, we want to explore our belief structures and how they relate to the outside world.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681705\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681707\">We may therefore feel anxious or restless; as best as you can, slow down, acknowledge what is, know that all is well in each \"now moment\".</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681708\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681710\">Use this intuitive time to make adjustments and find creative solutions when it comes to these energies. As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday Day ahead of time ;-)</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681711\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681713\"><b>Wednesday at 4:40pm EDT</b>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><b><i>,</i></b> where it will journey <b>until Friday evening.</b> Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681714\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681716\">Our independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681717\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681719\">If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the Full Moon (exact on Thursday afternoon). <a class=\"userlink\" href=\"https://youtu.be/T6Xu8HmU7E4\">Click here to watch my Full Moon video</a></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681721\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681723\"><b>Wednesday late evening, </b><i>a somewhat challenging Sun/Neptune aspect </i><b></b>becomes exact at 11:09pm EDT.<b> We started to feel this aspect from Tuesday night on; it will remain strong until Thursday night. </b>This aspect feels \"internal\" -- inner unease and awkwardness -- and we need to make a choice. Given that it is an internal issue, we need to develop an inner awareness, if we’re to see what needs adjusting.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681724\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681726\">Our energy tends to be unrealistically directed -- and our sense of self may actually change as we learn that we have wrongly assessed important situations. Our self-trust could takes a hit at this time.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681727\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681729\">Due to our high ideals, we may take on more than we can physically handle -- if we start to feel drained or frustrated, it might be helpful to look at the overall direction we are taking. Do your best to rest and have quiet time alongside your interactions with others.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681730\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681732\">It is also worthwhile to look for how our ideas are being received by others: Can we involve them in creating/realizing our dreams? Perhaps we are not sure whether we want to keep dreaming our dream privately, or share it with others... As best as you can, slow down: where there is spaciousness, there is flow; where there is flow, there is effortless creation.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681733\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681735\"><i>Do you have your Career Point (or personal planets) in </i><i>11-13 degrees</i><i> of</i><b><i> Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces</i></b><i> (the Sun rules of Leo; Neptune rules Pisces)</i></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681736\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681738\">Also, tomorrow (<b>Thursday all day</b>) and <b>Friday before 2pm EDT</b>, is your last chance to sign up for Friday\'s FORECASTING FORUM. <b>Please note we will</b><b>address Jupiter\'s journey through Scorpio in relationship to our own birth charts</b>.

Generally, a Full Moon brings our attention to our \"emotional body” increasing our awareness of what has been suppressed or ignored. <a class=\"userlink\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/full-moon/full-moon-in-aries-oct-2017-having-autonomy/\">Feel free to also watch my video on the subject</a></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681760\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681762\"><b>The Aries/Libra polarity</b> directs that awareness to the roles we identify with in our various one-on-one relationships — and this Full Moon is thus a call to take action on those roles, perhaps even redefine them.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681763\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681765\">In particular, it brings the focus to \"independence\": Where do we need to be more assertive? More accommodating? Where have we been too independent? Too dependent? What roles or contracts need to be revisited?</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681766\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681768\">This also involves the balance of feminine and masculine energies within ourselves, our relationships, and our world. Where in your life is one of these out of balance? What happens when there is too much masculine? Too much feminine?</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681769\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681771\">Something else to bear in mind about this Full Moon: not only is <i>the Sun</i> in opposition to the Moon in Aries, it is also <i>aligned with Mercury in </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681772\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681774\">This is a call for exploration of loving, equal, mutually beneficial relationships and partnerships — and a good time to resolve conflicts, especially within our one-on-one relationships: What is calling to be resolved?</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681775\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681777\">That said, the strongest message of this Full Moon is definitely that healthy relationship with our own inner feminine and masculine energies. What if you already knew how to experience this balance?</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681778\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681780\"><i>Mars</i> (the ruler of Aries) <i>and Venus </i>(the ruler of Libra)<i> are both currently in </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>,</i> closely aligned<i>,</i><i>squaring Saturn in </i><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>opposing Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces, </i></b><i>and</i><b><i></i></b><i>trining Pluto in</i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681781\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681783\">So let\'s talk first about the <i>Venus/Mars alignment in </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>: </i>this indicates a marriage of courage and collaboration, inviting us to allow the masculine (active/doing/asserting) and feminine (receiving/allowing/being) to work together and be of service to each other. We have a chance to express our needs, passions, and desires now in more effective ways and are more likely to get things done well.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681784\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681786\">Given that this combo is taking place in Virgo, we prefer to take a realistic approach to things, aiming all our passion and love toward excellence, and enjoying the details. We definitely also have a desire to help and serve others rights now.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681787\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681789\">Things to watch out for though: sweating the details, worrying, and being extra-critical of ourselves and others when something doesn’t get done \"right\".</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681790\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681792\">The last time we experienced this alignment was back in<b> Nov. 2015: </b>Was there a new beginning back then, in regards to how your feminine and masculine energies operate and collaborate? What has shifted for you since then?</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681793\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681795\">Mars and Venus <i>square Saturn in </i><b><i>Sagittarius; </i></b>this combo invites us to stretch and grow.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681796\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681798\">We are learning to live life in moderation... and this might be frustrating at first, if we develop the sense that we don\'t have \"enough\" (experiences, knowledge, expertise, success, etc...) What’s more, Virgo’s perfectionism might also make it difficult to know when it might actually be “enough”.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681799\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681801\">Ask yourself: What if I was inherently already (and always) enough? Would that knowledge allow me to step off the merry-go-round?</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681802\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681804\">How might it benefit me to slow down and take it one step at a time? What hasn\'t been said yet? How could I communicate that from a place of maturity and self-responsibility -- without being rigid?</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681805\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681807\">Mars and Venus <i>oppose Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>: </i>We are asked to embrace the “power of love”, that comes from allowing ourselves to be human and accepting our limitations -- loving ourselves “because” of all that, rather than \"despite\" it.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681808\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681810\">Chiron is supporting us with healing and the integration of issues around the feminine/masculine balance that we all need to feel whole, that helps us to function better out there in the world. This is definitely a favorable time for practicing forgiveness, both towards others and toward ourselves; what if, in fact, there was nothing to forgive? What if everything were already forgiven?</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681811\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681813\">We are invited to deeply appreciate the partnership with the Earth and all of life. Ask yourself: What am I able to feel when I tune into all of life around me? How can I bring a kind and loving approach to myself as I allow myself to experience human frailty?</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681814\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681816\">Mars and Venus <i>trine</i><i>Pluto in </i><b><i>Capricorn. </i></b>This<b><i> </i></b>allows for a flow between our actions and ability to be of service, and our collective Soul Purpose of building an empowered society that is emotionally connected to (even passionate about) achieving something great and lasting, that works for everyone.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681817\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681819\">This is a very practical combo that reminds us we are all born onto a living, breathing entity that is our home and that we must protect and nourish, if we want to continue being supported by its resources. What might being of service to my own body and the body of the planet I live on look like? How might this approach bring about a better future for generations to come?</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681820\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681822\"><i>Pluto in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>, still exalted in the sky until Oct. 10th, <i>squares the Full Moon and Mercury in </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i>... </i>This is also a \"stretch aspect\" -- it invites us to connect to ourselves from within, even though there is so much that pulls us into other directions.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681823\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681825\"><b>Aries &amp; Libra</b> are both extroverted, social signs -- and Pluto in <b>Capricorn</b> asks us to feel fully empowered in the world. In order to do that, we need to first bring empowerment to our emotional body and get clear about what we need on that level, vs. what we want (i.e our desires.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681826\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681828\">Ask yourself: How might I be able to strengthen my connection to the wisdom of my body? To my inner roots? What activities might help me feel more grounded and safe in the world? How can I nurture myself to the point that I am at once connected to others and yet completely independent? What would it look like to stand in my power <i>and </i>grow and evolve with the support of others?</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681829\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681831\">Pluto represents our deepest empowerment process -- it\'s where we face our worst fears, own our shadow (all that has been suppressed or denied), and align with our divine purpose. We may feel impatient (or even obsessive) right now about our career goals. Suppressed desires may surface and demand action.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681832\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681834\">What am I most scared about, when it comes to my accomplishments? Am I allowing myself to listen to the deepest calling of my Soul?</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681835\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681837\">As best you can, choose words carefully, speaking from a deeply connected and empowered place. Choose love over fear whenever possible. Ask: could I nurture myself -- mentally, physically and emotionally — such that I feel safe and loved? Maybe like a healthy parent cradling a baby…?</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681838\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681840\">Some more questions you can ask yourself: Could I let go of wanting to control another\'s experience? Could I allow myself to have productive discussions rather than controversy? What might complete honesty and transparency make possible? What does mutual empowerment look like to me?</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681841\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681843\">There is also a <i>Jupiter/Uranus opposition in </i><b><i>Libra/Aries.</i></b> This asks us to be brave -- willing to take risks, explore new alternatives, access our courage and think outside the box.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681844\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681846\">This also generates lots of core energy and enthusiasm, inspiring us to break free from conventional, outdated social structures, especially the roles we play. We might need more independence in our relationships. As best as you can, use this energy to initiate new, exciting relationships -- including the \"relationship\" with yourself.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681847\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681849\">What does \"new and unexpected\" look like to me? How could I generate change without discounting input from others? Could I allow myself to be with what I see, without acting impulsively or erratically to force change?</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681850\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681852\">As <i>Jupiter moves into the last degree of </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>, it\'s energy becomes more exalted; it is getting ready to leave this sign of balance, equality and justice. You could say it is about to have its last hurrah in \"maybe this, maybe that?” Libra, before it moves into all-or-nothing Scorpio on Oct. 10th for a little over a year.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681853\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681855\">We will address Jupiter\'s journey through Scorpio in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum on Oct. 6th. Feel free to join us; I especially recommend it if you have Scorpio or Sagittarius as your Sun, Moon or Rising-sign. <a class=\"userlink\" href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\"><b>To register now, click here </b></a></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681857\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681859\">To sum it all up for this Full Moon: We are in a critical phase of our spiritual growth process, in which we are asked to release all that is holding us back… This means dysfunctional and restrictive relationships, addictions and negative habits, thought patterns -- and possessions that take up too much of our time, effort and sense of inner abundance. As best as you can, see this an an opportunity; allow, rather than resist ;-)</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681860\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681862\">And if nothing else, do your best to remember that we all signed up for this journey to become a spiritual, fully human adult that exists in an ever-expanding, multidimensional realm of physicality… not always an easy feat...</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681863\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681865\">Take a deep breath and allow yourself to see the irony and paradox of \"life\". And, as best as you can, take responsibility for your thought forms, remain curious <i>and</i> nurture yourself, dig deeper to truly understand your own emotional needs, so you can connect to others and yourself from a place of strength and autonomy. For more details on this powerful Full Moon, <a class=\"userlink\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/full-moon/full-moon-in-aries-oct-2017-having-autonomy/\">click here and watch my video on the subject</a></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681867\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681869\"><i>This is especially true for those of us with personal planets or points in 10-15 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Cancer </i></b><i>(the personal planets are the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars; personal points are the Ascendent or MC)</i><b><i>.</i></b></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681870\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681872\"><b>Friday (October 6th)</b>: <i>the Moon remains in </i><i>pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i></i><b>until 7:56pm EDT </b>(see Wednesday late afternoon for details).</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681873\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681875\"><b>Friday afternoon, </b><i>a somewhat challenging Mercury/Neptune aspect</i><b></b>becomes exact at 1:44pm EDT.<b> We started to feel this aspect from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until Saturday. </b>This could contribute either to some mental confusion and spaciness, or the need to communicate with others from our imagination (but possibly not knowing how to achieve that).</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681876\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681878\">This aspect operates more on an internal level: We feel uneasy about something, sort of \"awkward\" -- and we need to make a choice. Sometimes, imagination and mind can run way ahead of what is actually feasible (and sensible). At these times, the grand vision is best served by focusing on the next concrete step, accepting our own idiosyncrasies as we go.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681879\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681881\">Honesty is crucial here, especially self-honesty; inner awareness is in turn crucial to deep honesty and authenticity. What\'s true for you? What might be possible for humanity? Where do those overlap?</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681882\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681884\">Note that I say \"overlap\": Don\'t look for an exact fit, this is more like two puzzle pieces that came from different jigsaw puzzles. You might keep looking at the imperfect fit and feel a nagging sense that something doesn\'t make sense… and it doesn\'t -- it can\'t. The pieces are not from the same game. Just do your best to \"hang out\" with the discomfort, rather than repeatedly trying to figure it out and fix it.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681885\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681887\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in </i><i>11-13 degrees</i><i> of</i><b><i> Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces)</i></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681888\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681890\"><b>Friday before 2pm EDT</b>, is your very last chance to sign up for today\'s FORECASTING FORUM. <b>Please note we will</b><b>address Jupiter\'s journey through Scorpio in relationship to our own birth charts</b>.

In other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681906\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681908\">What is our favorite thing for the next two days?

How might a balance mental and physical approach support us right now?</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681918\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681920\"><b>Sunday (October 8th)</b>: <i>the Moon remains in </i><i>steady, peaceful</i><i></i><b><i>T aurus </i></b><i></i><b>until 9:44pm EDT </b>(see Friday evening for details).</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681921\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681923\"><b>Sunday morning, </b><i>a challenging Venus/Saturn aspect</i><b></b>becomes exact at 8:54am EDT.<b> We started to feel this aspect from Thursday on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (Oct. 10th). </b>It<b> </b>asks us to stretch and grow beyond how we\'ve known ourselves in our relationships up to this point -- a process of maturing that requires we adjust and stay flexible.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681924\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681926\">On the one hand, we want to improve our relationships in a very practical way, thinking our way through things in detail. On the other hand, we feel a sharp need to explore “the larger truth” about ourselves and others — to determine what beliefs align with our own direct experience. Do your best to make space for both of these urges.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681927\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681929\">We tend to be more cautious when it comes to relationships and finances now -- and in fact, this is not the best time to start a brand-new romantic relationship. Financially though, this aspect can be eye-opening; if we can find creative ways to deal with money, we will grow from it. The key is to approach things with an open heart, clarity and maturity.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681930\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681932\">Rigidity or pushing doesn\'t usually get us what we want: Sometimes, it’s better to go one step at a time; that way, we can come back later with a stronger approach and more mature expectations.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681933\"> </div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681935\"><i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in </i><i>19-26 degrees</i><i>of </i><b><i>Virgo, Sagittarius, Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>?

So much going on...\r\n\r\nFirstly, the Moon remains in relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking Libra all day. It will journey there until Tuesday afternoon, where it will help us be naturally courteous and diplomatic -- we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the last Quarter Moon (which, will be exact Monday early evening...)\r\n\r\nMonday morning, an opportune Sun/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 7:07am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday. We might want to take advantage of the opportunities this aspect provides -- it\'s an excellent time for creating deeper intimate connections, resolving conflicts with others, having fun and boosting our self-confidence. In fact, we may well feel particularly vital and confident -- and inner optimism can bring rewards.\r\n\r\nHumor can be a big part of this aspect too: We are able to laugh whole-heartedly, and see nothing but possibility in our lives, especially in our intimate relationships and our shared resources with others. This could bring a healthy shift of attitude toward our relationships -- whether personal or business.\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\nImagine you have a special lens which showed you the \"bigger picture\"... What would your relationships look like when you gazed through it?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in 16-20 degrees of Capricorn, Scorpio, Virgo or Pisces? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Sagittarius (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).\r\n\r\nMonday late morning, an opportune Venus/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 11:13am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday evening on; it will remain strong until this Tuesday night. We have an opportunity to grow in our social and personal relationships at this time. Humor and caring play a big role in our interactions with others.\r\n\r\nWe can call upon tolerance, optimism and co-operation when dealing with loved ones or business relationships now. Financially speaking, things are \"on the up\"; we may have opportunities now to expand our pocketbooks -- if we make sound decisions that are in the interest of everyone involved.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-20 degrees of Capricorn, Scorpio, Virgo or Pisces? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Sagittarius (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).\r\n\r\nMonday afternoon, an opportune Mars/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 2:59pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Friday evening on; it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. This brings an opportunity to connect our personal passions to our Soul\'s passions. We are resourceful and persistent when pursuing a goal, bringing tremendous effort and focus to bear.\r\n\r\nThis is an opportunity to be committed, determined and passionate, with no half-measures; it\'s also an opportunity to feel more confident about our own talents. Strategic thinking and execution is favored right now, as is eliminating waste around time and energy. Remember though: An \"opportunity\" is just an opening, it\'s not automatically granted -- we have to \"step up\" to the opening, then through it...\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-21 degrees of Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces  or Virgo? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aries or Scorpio (Mars is the ruler of Aries, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Mars\'s movements and aspects; Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)\r\n\r\nMonday early evening, at 5:25pm EST, the last Quarter Moon in 18.5 degrees of Libra becomes exact. We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Libra Sunday morning. The Moon in relationship-oriented, harmony-loving Libra makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in ambitious, goal-oriented Capricorn.\r\n\r\nThis may bring up some challenges. However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed. This Moon phase brings us closer to Jan 16th, which will bring the New Moon in Capricorn.\r\n\r\nWith the last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us take a look at what was started around the time of the last New Moon -- in this case, around Dec. 18th. We now have about a week to wrap those projects up. What -- if anything -- needs last-minute adjustments? What did you discover since Dec. 18th? What did it mean for you?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally or with others).\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-21 degrees of Libra, Capricorn, Aries or Cancer? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s last Quarter Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer, since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (Jan. 9th)</strong> is just as busy as Monday -- astrologically speaking: the Moon remains in relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking Libra until 3:05pm EST (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\nTuesday very early morning, a Sun/Venus alignment in almost 20 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 2:02am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday (Jan. 6th) night on; it will remain strong until this Friday night.  We are motivated to strike a balance in our relationships and our career environment. If you have negotiations going on at this time, it’s very likely they will go smoothly.\r\n\r\nGraciousness, diplomacy, charm, and a healthy dose of realism: This is a good period for social affairs, pleasure, amusement, and romance, especially if it\'s about building something concrete and long-term, something traditional or something connected to status and expertise.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 17-23 degrees of Capricorn, Aries, Libra or Cancer? If so, you may be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Leo (the Sun rules Leo; Venus rules Taurus and Libra)\r\n\r\nTuesday early morning, a Venus/Pluto alignment in 19 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 4:03am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday (Jan. 6th) evening on; it will remain strong until this Thursday. This alignment brings out our passionate side. We uncompromisingly seek deep, totally authentic connections with others.\r\n\r\nOur instincts are very strong right now, our inner wolf is wide-awake, and we can sniff out any unclean intentions right away. As best as you can, be completely truthful about your motivations and needs – if you try to duck this, it could get ugly, since everyone knows what everyone else is up to anyway.\r\n\r\nWhat if you took 100% responsibility for getting what you want and need? What is the highest path to achieve that? As best as you can, find creative solutions and remain flexible. And as always when Pluto is involved, choose the power of love over the power of fear -- whenever possible.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 16-22 degrees of Capricorn, Aries, Cancer or Libra? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Scorpio (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Pluto rules Scorpio)\r\n\r\nTuesday early morning, a Sun/Pluto alignment in 19 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 4:33am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday (Jan. 6th) morning on; it will remain strong until this Thursday night. This alignment asks of us that we reclaim our authority and make some fundamental changes in our world.\r\n\r\nSome of the structures that we built in the past may no longer be solid; they must fall now, to be replaced with something that empowers us. It is necessary to redefine feminine and masculine “powers”. What do you need to acknowledge or embrace? What is rejected or ignored? If you truly had choice in the matter, what kind of future would you want to step into?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 16-22 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries or Libra? If so, you may be more affected by this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Scorpio (the Sun is the ruler of Leo; Pluto rules Scorpio)\r\n\r\nTuesday at 11:13am EST, we enter a Moon void of course (VoC). that lasts for almost 4 hours, until 3:05pm EST. Use this intuitive time to collaborate with others and share your life philosophy. As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday (late morning until the mid-afternoon) ahead of time ;-) (Moon sextiles Mercury in Sagittarius)\r\n\r\nTuesday at 3:05pm EST, the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio, where it will journey until Thursday late morning. We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s therefore an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can therefore be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so as best you can, be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\nTuesday late afternoon, an opportune Venus/Mars aspect becomes exact at 4:08pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday (Jan. 6th) night on; it will remain strong until this Friday evening.  This aspect helps intimate or business relationships along, bringing passion and/or sexiness to them -- and if we\'re not in a long-term committed relationship, we\'ll get some help in forming one.\r\n\r\nThis could also be a good time for financial ventures, social life, artistic pursuits, and pleasure in general. Remember: this is an \"opportunity\" -- those aren\'t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in 18-22 degrees of Capricorn, Scorpio, Pisces or Virgo? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Aries (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars is the ruler of Aries)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (Jan. 10th)</strong>: the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio all day (see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\nWednesday very early morning, an opportune Sun/Mars aspect becomes exact at 12:36am EST. We started to feel this aspect from Monday on; it will remain strong until this Friday. Many of us feel an inner joy now -- when planning and achieving; now is a good time to link this to our intuition and instincts.\r\n\r\nOur self-confidence and self-esteem can get a boost: we feel we can meet life on life\'s terms and stand up for ourselves (and our point of view) without becoming hostile or confrontational.\r\n\r\nWe have to “take” opportunities, and this one is no exception: It requires we take action. What if there was a single, really simple action step, that would feel almost effortless?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of Capricorn, Scorpio, Pisces or Virgo? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Aries (the Sun rules Leo; Mars is the ruler of Aries)\r\n\r\nWednesday at 11:40am EST, Mercury\'s Shadow Phase ends. As you may recall, on Dec. 22nd, when Mercury stationed direct, I mentioned Mercury shadow phases as well: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it\'s best to avoid the periods shortly before and after Mercury goes retrograde. This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.)\r\n\r\nThe good news is, this shadow phase ends today, when Mercury reaches 29º18\' of Sagittarius. This means that we can finally go ahead and book those plane tickets -- or buy that new car or iPhone (or anything else communication- or transportation-related). We can also more easily take in new information, so teaching, sharing and learning will be more effective. Click here to read my blog on the subject.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (Jan. 11th)</strong>: the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio all day (see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\nWednesday night/Thursday very early morning, at 12:09am EST, Mercury changes signs from optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius to practical, accomplishment-oriented, status-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Jan. 31st.\r\n\r\nThis is a time when our minds like to make concrete plans for the future. A systematic, practical approach to reaching our goals is now favored; we are good at focusing on practical matters and getting down to the essentials.\r\n\r\nWe do not waste any words at this time -- what we say is truthful and to the point. We see reality very clearly now -- and it might not look as rosy as we thought. As best as you can, use this time to get in touch with what\'s real in your life -- without going down the \"rabbit hole\" of pessimistic inadequacy ;-)\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini or Virgo? If so, you will be more serious and possible more eager to accomplish concrete goals. Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in Capricorn? If so, you will most likely feel more chatty for the next 3 weeks.\r\n\r\nThursday at 9:53am EST, we enter a Moon void of course (VoC). that lasts for a little over 16 hours, until Friday (Jan. 12th) at 2:04am EST. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others on an authentic level. What if you let yourself trust others in the mutual pursuit of realistic, practical goals?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday (late morning, all the way through the night) ahead of time ;-) (Moon sextiles Venus in Capricorn)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (Jan. 12th):</strong> the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio and VoC until 2:04am EST (see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\nFriday at 2:04am EST, the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius, where it will journey until Sunday afternoon. We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence, which means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, than take orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (Jan. 13th)</strong>: the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius all day (see Friday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\nSaturday very early morning, a Mercury/Saturn alignment in almost 3 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 2:03am EST. We started to feel this aspect from Wednesday evening on; it will remain strong until Monday (Jan. 15th). This connection strengthens our ability to make realistic decisions connected to our need for achievement and mastery. We are more able to come from a place of integrity and maturity when planning anything long-term.\r\n\r\nWe prefer to have serious conversations with others that move us forward, closer to a common goal. It\'s an excellent period for reviewing, reassessing, perfecting, and improving our thinking patterns, long-term goals, and path towards mastery. Even though we might have a more negative or critical outlook initially, this alignment serves the purpose of reaching a balanced, mature, and realistic state.\r\n\r\nDue to Mercury\'s retrograde phase, we have already experienced this aspect several times over the past 7 weeks -- making this alignment more important this time around. Think back to Nov. 28th and Dec. 6th, 2017. In what ways did you need to slow down and take a more serious look at a situation in your life?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in 0-6 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries or Libra? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo or Capricorn (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).\r\n\r\nSaturday very early morning, around 2am EST, the Balsamic Moon phase begins when the Moon reaches 12º of Sagittarius. This lasts until Tuesday evening, when the New Moon in Capricorn becomes exact (more on that next week...however, feel free to watch my video on the subject -- will be posted by Friday, Jan. 12th).\r\n\r\nWe are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our inner sensing/intuition. For some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes.\r\n\r\nThis is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?\r\n\r\nSaturday early afternoon, a challenging Venus/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 2:09pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from Wednesday night on; it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening (Jan. 15th). This \"stretch aspect\" asks us to grow beyond what we know and have experienced in the past in regards to our relationships, especially business relations.\r\n\r\nPriorities may shift. We may experience clashes of taste or values with business partners; as you can imagine, we may feel some instability or restlessness in connection to others. We may also struggle with freedom versus material safety -- the latter manifesting as fears around financial goals.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take a deep breath and hold off on decision-making with regards to finances -- in particular, it is best to avoid impulse buys at this time.\r\n\r\nIn general, expect the unexpected: Things may take a different turn when it comes to the truly important. Keep your mind and heart open: if something demands elimination or change, it was waiting for that shift to happen anyway. As best as you can, find creative solutions and stay flexible and adaptable. This is not the best time to take things too personally (but then again, is there ever a good time for that? :-)\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 21-28 degrees of Capricorn, Aries, Libra, or Cancer? If so, you may be more affected by this aspect. The same is true for those with their Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Aquarius (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Uranus rules Aquarius)\r\n\r\nSaturday late evening, an opportune Venus/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 9:52pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from this Friday on; it will remain strong until next week, Monday (Jan. 15th) . It\'s an opportunity to bring healing to our wounds around relationships or our sense of self-worth.\r\n\r\nWe get a chance to love ourselves and heal deep fears of not being \"good enough\". Healing happens much faster when we can open to forgiving ourselves and others. As best as you can, bring compassion and understanding to yourself, to others, and to those past experiences that wounded you.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of Capricorn, Pisces, Scorpio or Taurus? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus or Libra (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra)\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (Jan. 14th):</strong> the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius until 2:42pm EST (see Friday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\nSunday at 3:48am EST, we enter a Moon void of course (VoC). that lasts for almost 11 hours, until 2:42pm EST. This intuitive time could serve as an opportunity to connect to like-minded people and learn something new about your unique self. How wide could your vision for humanity become?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday (until the mid-afternoon) ahead of time ;-) (Moon trines Uranus in Aries)\r\n\r\nSunday at 2:42pm EST, the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Wednesday very early morning (Jan. 17th). We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, be truthful with yourself about where you are at: Do you actually have a realistic view about what is so, right now, in your life? Not what you wish it to be or what you would like it to be or where you see yourself going.... What is so right now? Once you know where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\", whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\nSunday afternoon, a challenging Sun/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 3:45pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from Friday evening on; it will remain strong until next Wednesday (Jan. 17th).  Disrupted routines and plans, especially around career and business, are quite likely; this calls for flexibility and creative solutions.\r\n\r\nDuring this transit, we feel a great need to make progress, as we feel quite restless -- maybe even anxious -- but if we\'re unclear on what actions are in our best interest, we might act in ways that don\'t serve us in the long run.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go with the flow and stay open to experiencing something new and wonderfully unexpected; if you can, put off making major decisions for the time being... \"haste makes waste\" during this aspect ;-)\r\n\r\nYou can think of this as \"reorganizing\" time -- like rearranging your furniture -- try not to resist the reorganization. Enjoy the ride… and remember: it only feels uncomfortable because it’s new and different. Could you allow yourself to be comfortable with being uncomfortable?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 21-28 degrees of Cancer, Aries, Libra, Capricorn or 0-1 degrees Leo, Taurus, Aquarius or Scorpio? If so, you may be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aquarius or Leo (the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius)\r\n\r\nAlso on Sunday, Uranus resumes its normal pace through the sky, ending its station. What has come up in the last four weeks around radical change, personal freedom, and needing to individuate? How closely are you in touch with your personal vision for life?\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (Jan. 15th):</strong> The Moon remains in Capricorn all day (see Sunday afternoon for details). In very early morning, an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 1:59am EST. We started to feel this aspect from Friday night on; it will remain strong until this Tuesday morning. In late evening, a long-term, opportune Jupiter/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 11:13pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from Tuesday (Jan. 3rd) on; it will remain strong until Wednesday (Jan. 31st).

INSERT INTO `wpfb_posts` VALUES('5394', '4', '2018-01-07 16:01:40', '2018-01-07 21:01:40', '<h2>Forecast for Mon., Jan. 8th  - Sun., Jan. 14th, 2018</h2>\r\nThe theme of last week for me was \"stay present in the here and now, do what you can, and breathe through the rest\" :-)\r\n<h3>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement:</h3>\r\nFeel free to check out my 20-minute excerpt from my latest webinar about the year ahead, a look at all of 2018! https://youtu.be/gCJQqodTOsQ\r\n\r\nAnd if you want to know how align yourself with the energies this year, feel free to buy the whole 90+ min. webinar on the subject --  click here: http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ  -- we talked about what to expect for the next 12 months, and how it all applies to our own birth charts ;-)\r\n\r\nThis week\'s headline items: the last Quarter Moon in Libra becomes exact on Monday; the Mercury shadow phase ends Wednesday, Mercury changes signs from Sagittarius to Capricorn on Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning; the Balsamic Moon phase begins on Saturday (very early in the morning); and Uranus ends its station phase on Sunday.\r\n\r\nThere will also be three Moon VoC phases this week: Tuesday late morning (for almost 4 hours), Thursday late morning (for a little over 16 hours), and Sunday very early morning (for almost 11 hours).\r\n\r\nMonday (January 8th) is quite a day, astrologically speaking! So much going on...\r\n\r\nFirstly, the Moon remains in relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking Libra all day. It will journey there until Tuesday afternoon, where it will help us be naturally courteous and diplomatic -- we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the last Quarter Moon (which, will be exact Monday early evening...)\r\n\r\nMonday morning, an opportune Sun/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 7:07am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday. We might want to take advantage of the opportunities this aspect provides -- it\'s an excellent time for creating deeper intimate connections, resolving conflicts with others, having fun and boosting our self-confidence. In fact, we may well feel particularly vital and confident -- and inner optimism can bring rewards.\r\n\r\nHumor can be a big part of this aspect too: We are able to laugh whole-heartedly, and see nothing but possibility in our lives, especially in our intimate relationships and our shared resources with others. This could bring a healthy shift of attitude toward our relationships -- whether personal or business.\r\n\r\nImagine you have a special lens which showed you the \"bigger picture\"... What would your relationships look like when you gazed through it?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in 16-20 degrees of Capricorn, Scorpio, Virgo or Pisces? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Sagittarius (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).\r\n\r\nMonday late morning, an opportune Venus/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 11:13am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday evening on; it will remain strong until this Tuesday night. We have an opportunity to grow in our social and personal relationships at this time. Humor and caring play a big role in our interactions with others.\r\n\r\nWe can call upon tolerance, optimism and co-operation when dealing with loved ones or business relationships now. Financially speaking, things are \"on the up\"; we may have opportunities now to expand our pocketbooks -- if we make sound decisions that are in the interest of everyone involved.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-20 degrees of Capricorn, Scorpio, Virgo or Pisces? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Sagittarius (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).\r\n\r\nMonday afternoon, an opportune Mars/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 2:59pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Friday evening on; it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. This brings an opportunity to connect our personal passions to our Soul\'s passions. We are resourceful and persistent when pursuing a goal, bringing tremendous effort and focus to bear.\r\n\r\nThis is an opportunity to be committed, determined and passionate, with no half-measures; it\'s also an opportunity to feel more confident about our own talents. Strategic thinking and execution is favored right now, as is eliminating waste around time and energy. Remember though: An \"opportunity\" is just an opening, it\'s not automatically granted -- we have to \"step up\" to the opening, then through it...\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-21 degrees of Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces  or Virgo? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aries or Scorpio (Mars is the ruler of Aries, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Mars\'s movements and aspects; Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)\r\n\r\nMonday early evening, at 5:25pm EST, the last Quarter Moon in 18.5 degrees of Libra becomes exact. We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Libra Sunday morning. The Moon in relationship-oriented, harmony-loving Libra makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in ambitious, goal-oriented Capricorn.\r\n\r\nThis may bring up some challenges. However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed. This Moon phase brings us closer to Jan 16th, which will bring the New Moon in Capricorn.\r\n\r\nWith the last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us take a look at what was started around the time of the last New Moon -- in this case, around Dec. 18th. We now have about a week to wrap those projects up. What -- if anything -- needs last-minute adjustments? What did you discover since Dec. 18th? What did it mean for you?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally or with others).\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-21 degrees of Libra, Capricorn, Aries or Cancer? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s last Quarter Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer, since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer.\r\n\r\nTuesday (Jan. 9th) is just as busy as Monday -- astrologically speaking: the Moon remains in relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking Libra until 3:05pm EST (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\nTuesday very early morning, a Sun/Venus alignment in almost 20 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 2:02am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday (Jan. 6th) night on; it will remain strong until this Friday night.  We are motivated to strike a balance in our relationships and our career environment. If you have negotiations going on at this time, it’s very likely they will go smoothly.\r\n\r\nGraciousness, diplomacy, charm, and a healthy dose of realism: This is a good period for social affairs, pleasure, amusement, and romance, especially if it\'s about building something concrete and long-term, something traditional or something connected to status and expertise.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 17-23 degrees of Capricorn, Aries, Libra or Cancer? If so, you may be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Leo (the Sun rules Leo; Venus rules Taurus and Libra)\r\n\r\nTuesday early morning, a Venus/Pluto alignment in 19 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 4:03am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday (Jan. 6th) evening on; it will remain strong until this Thursday. This alignment brings out our passionate side. We uncompromisingly seek deep, totally authentic connections with others.\r\n\r\nOur instincts are very strong right now, our inner wolf is wide-awake, and we can sniff out any unclean intentions right away. As best as you can, be completely truthful about your motivations and needs – if you try to duck this, it could get ugly, since everyone knows what everyone else is up to anyway.\r\n\r\nWhat if you took 100% responsibility for getting what you want and need? What is the highest path to achieve that? As best as you can, find creative solutions and remain flexible. And as always when Pluto is involved, choose the power of love over the power of fear -- whenever possible.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 16-22 degrees of Capricorn, Aries, Cancer or Libra? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Scorpio (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Pluto rules Scorpio)\r\n\r\nTuesday early morning, a Sun/Pluto alignment in 19 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 4:33am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday (Jan. 6th) morning on; it will remain strong until this Thursday night. This alignment asks of us that we reclaim our authority and make some fundamental changes in our world.\r\n\r\nSome of the structures that we built in the past may no longer be solid; they must fall now, to be replaced with something that empowers us. It is necessary to redefine feminine and masculine “powers”. What do you need to acknowledge or embrace? What is rejected or ignored? If you truly had choice in the matter, what kind of future would you want to step into?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 16-22 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries or Libra? If so, you may be more affected by this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Scorpio (the Sun is the ruler of Leo; Pluto rules Scorpio)\r\n\r\nTuesday at 11:13am EST, we enter a Moon void of course (VoC). that lasts for almost 4 hours, until 3:05pm EST. Use this intuitive time to collaborate with others and share your life philosophy. As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday (late morning until the mid-afternoon) ahead of time ;-) (Moon sextiles Mercury in Sagittarius)\r\n\r\nTuesday at 3:05pm EST, the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio, where it will journey until Thursday late morning. We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s therefore an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can therefore be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so as best you can, be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\nTuesday late afternoon, an opportune Venus/Mars aspect becomes exact at 4:08pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday (Jan. 6th) night on; it will remain strong until this Friday evening.  This aspect helps intimate or business relationships along, bringing passion and/or sexiness to them -- and if we\'re not in a long-term committed relationship, we\'ll get some help in forming one.\r\n\r\nThis could also be a good time for financial ventures, social life, artistic pursuits, and pleasure in general. Remember: this is an \"opportunity\" -- those aren\'t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in 18-22 degrees of Capricorn, Scorpio, Pisces or Virgo? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Aries (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars is the ruler of Aries)\r\n\r\nWednesday (Jan. 10th): the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio all day (see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\nWednesday very early morning, an opportune Sun/Mars aspect becomes exact at 12:36am EST. We started to feel this aspect from Monday on; it will remain strong until this Friday. Many of us feel an inner joy now -- when planning and achieving; now is a good time to link this to our intuition and instincts.\r\n\r\nOur self-confidence and self-esteem can get a boost: we feel we can meet life on life\'s terms and stand up for ourselves (and our point of view) without becoming hostile or confrontational.\r\n\r\nWe have to “take” opportunities, and this one is no exception: It requires we take action. What if there was a single, really simple action step, that would feel almost effortless?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of Capricorn, Scorpio, Pisces or Virgo? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Aries (the Sun rules Leo; Mars is the ruler of Aries)\r\n\r\nWednesday at 11:40am EST, Mercury\'s Shadow Phase ends. As you may recall, on Dec. 22nd, when Mercury stationed direct, I mentioned Mercury shadow phases as well: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it\'s best to avoid the periods shortly before and after Mercury goes retrograde. This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.)\r\n\r\nThe good news is, this shadow phase ends today, when Mercury reaches 29º18\' of Sagittarius. This means that we can finally go ahead and book those plane tickets -- or buy that new car or iPhone (or anything else communication- or transportation-related). We can also more easily take in new information, so teaching, sharing and learning will be more effective. Click here to read my blog on the subject.\r\n\r\nThursday (Jan. 11th): the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio all day (see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\nWednesday night/Thursday very early morning, at 12:09am EST, Mercury changes signs from optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius to practical, accomplishment-oriented, status-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Jan. 31st.\r\n\r\nThis is a time when our minds like to make concrete plans for the future. A systematic, practical approach to reaching our goals is now favored; we are good at focusing on practical matters and getting down to the essentials.\r\n\r\nWe do not waste any words at this time -- what we say is truthful and to the point. We see reality very clearly now -- and it might not look as rosy as we thought. As best as you can, use this time to get in touch with what\'s real in your life -- without going down the \"rabbit hole\" of pessimistic inadequacy ;-)\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini or Virgo? If so, you will be more serious and possible more eager to accomplish concrete goals. Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in Capricorn? If so, you will most likely feel more chatty for the next 3 weeks.\r\n\r\nThursday at 9:53am EST, we enter a Moon void of course (VoC). that lasts for a little over 16 hours, until Friday (Jan. 12th) at 2:04am EST. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others on an authentic level. What if you let yourself trust others in the mutual pursuit of realistic, practical goals?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday (late morning, all the way through the night) ahead of time ;-) (Moon sextiles Venus in Capricorn)\r\n\r\nFriday (Jan. 12th): the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio and VoC until 2:04am EST (see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\nFriday at 2:04am EST, the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius, where it will journey until Sunday afternoon. We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence, which means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, than take orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\nSaturday (Jan. 13th): the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius all day (see Friday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\nSaturday very early morning, a Mercury/Saturn alignment in almost 3 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 2:03am EST. We started to feel this aspect from Wednesday evening on; it will remain strong until Monday (Jan. 15th). This connection strengthens our ability to make realistic decisions connected to our need for achievement and mastery. We are more able to come from a place of integrity and maturity when planning anything long-term.\r\n\r\nWe prefer to have serious conversations with others that move us forward, closer to a common goal. It\'s an excellent period for reviewing, reassessing, perfecting, and improving our thinking patterns, long-term goals, and path towards mastery. Even though we might have a more negative or critical outlook initially, this alignment serves the purpose of reaching a balanced, mature, and realistic state.\r\n\r\nDue to Mercury\'s retrograde phase, we have already experienced this aspect several times over the past 7 weeks -- making this alignment more important this time around. Think back to Nov. 28th and Dec. 6th, 2017. In what ways did you need to slow down and take a more serious look at a situation in your life?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in 0-6 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries or Libra? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo or Capricorn (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).\r\n\r\nSaturday very early morning, around 2am EST, the Balsamic Moon phase begins when the Moon reaches 12º of Sagittarius. This lasts until Tuesday evening, when the New Moon in Capricorn becomes exact (more on that next week...however, feel free to watch my video on the subject -- will be posted by Friday, Jan. 12th).\r\n\r\nWe are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our inner sensing/intuition. For some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes.\r\n\r\nThis is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?\r\n\r\nSaturday early afternoon, a challenging Venus/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 2:09pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from Wednesday night on; it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening (Jan. 15th). This \"stretch aspect\" asks us to grow beyond what we know and have experienced in the past in regards to our relationships, especially business relations.\r\n\r\nPriorities may shift. We may experience clashes of taste or values with business partners; as you can imagine, we may feel some instability or restlessness in connection to others. We may also struggle with freedom versus material safety -- the latter manifesting as fears around financial goals.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take a deep breath and hold off on decision-making with regards to finances -- in particular, it is best to avoid impulse buys at this time.\r\n\r\nIn general, expect the unexpected: Things may take a different turn when it comes to the truly important. Keep your mind and heart open: if something demands elimination or change, it was waiting for that shift to happen anyway. As best as you can, find creative solutions and stay flexible and adaptable. This is not the best time to take things too personally (but then again, is there ever a good time for that? :-)\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 21-28 degrees of Capricorn, Aries, Libra, or Cancer? If so, you may be more affected by this aspect. The same is true for those with their Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Aquarius (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Uranus rules Aquarius)\r\n\r\nSaturday late evening, an opportune Venus/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 9:52pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from this Friday on; it will remain strong until next week, Monday (Jan. 15th) . It\'s an opportunity to bring healing to our wounds around relationships or our sense of self-worth.\r\n\r\nWe get a chance to love ourselves and heal deep fears of not being \"good enough\". Healing happens much faster when we can open to forgiving ourselves and others. As best as you can, bring compassion and understanding to yourself, to others, and to those past experiences that wounded you.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of Capricorn, Pisces, Scorpio or Taurus? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus or Libra (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra)\r\n\r\nSunday (Jan. 14th): the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius until 2:42pm EST (see Friday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\nSunday at 3:48am EST, we enter a Moon void of course (VoC). that lasts for almost 11 hours, until 2:42pm EST. This intuitive time could serve as an opportunity to connect to like-minded people and learn something new about your unique self. How wide could your vision for humanity become?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday (until the mid-afternoon) ahead of time ;-) (Moon trines Uranus in Aries)\r\n\r\nSunday at 2:42pm EST, the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Wednesday very early morning (Jan. 17th). We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, be truthful with yourself about where you are at: Do you actually have a realistic view about what is so, right now, in your life? Not what you wish it to be or what you would like it to be or where you see yourself going.... What is so right now? Once you know where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\", whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\nSunday afternoon, a challenging Sun/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 3:45pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from Friday evening on; it will remain strong until next Wednesday (Jan. 17th).  Disrupted routines and plans, especially around career and business, are quite likely; this calls for flexibility and creative solutions.\r\n\r\nDuring this transit, we feel a great need to make progress, as we feel quite restless -- maybe even anxious -- but if we\'re unclear on what actions are in our best interest, we might act in ways that don\'t serve us in the long run.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go with the flow and stay open to experiencing something new and wonderfully unexpected; if you can, put off making major decisions for the time being... \"haste makes waste\" during this aspect ;-)\r\n\r\nYou can think of this as \"reorganizing\" time -- like rearranging your furniture -- try not to resist the reorganization. Enjoy the ride… and remember: it only feels uncomfortable because it’s new and different. Could you allow yourself to be comfortable with being uncomfortable?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 21-28 degrees of Cancer, Aries, Libra, Capricorn or 0-1 degrees Leo, Taurus, Aquarius or Scorpio? If so, you may be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aquarius or Leo (the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius)\r\n\r\nAlso on Sunday, Uranus resumes its normal pace through the sky, ending its station. What has come up in the last four weeks around radical change, personal freedom, and needing to individuate? How closely are you in touch with your personal vision for life?\r\n\r\nA head\'s up for next Monday (Jan. 15th): The Moon remains in Capricorn all day (see Sunday afternoon for details). In very early morning, an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 1:59am EST. We started to feel this aspect from Friday night on; it will remain strong until this Tuesday morning. In late evening, a long-term, opportune Jupiter/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 11:13pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from Tuesday (Jan. 3rd) on; it will remain strong until Wednesday (Jan. 31st). More about all the details in next week’s forecast ;-)\r\n\r\nOne Last Announcement:\r\nJoin me for my next FORECASTING FORUM, Saturday, Feb. 3rd, 2018 at 11am PST/ 2pm EST/7pm GMT (London-time).

This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the last Quarter Moon (which, will be exact Monday early evening...)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday morning</strong>, an opportune Sun/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 7:07am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday. We might want to take advantage of the opportunities this aspect provides -- it\'s an excellent time for creating deeper intimate connections, resolving conflicts with others, having fun and boosting our self-confidence. In fact, we may well feel particularly vital and confident -- and inner optimism can bring rewards.\r\n\r\nHumor can be a big part of this aspect too: We are able to laugh whole-heartedly, and see nothing but possibility in our lives, especially in our intimate relationships and our shared resources with others.

We started to feel this aspect from last Friday evening on; it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. This brings an opportunity to connect our personal passions to our Soul\'s passions. We are resourceful and persistent when pursuing a goal, bringing tremendous effort and focus to bear.\r\n\r\nThis is an opportunity to be committed, determined and passionate, with no half-measures; it\'s also an opportunity to feel more confident about our own talents. Strategic thinking and execution is favored right now, as is eliminating waste around time and energy.

We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Libra Sunday morning. The Moon in relationship-oriented, harmony-loving Libra makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in ambitious, goal-oriented Capricorn.\r\n\r\nThis may bring up some challenges. However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed. This Moon phase brings us closer to Jan 16th, which will bring the New Moon in Capricorn.\r\n\r\nWith the last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us take a look at what was started around the time of the last New Moon -- in this case, around Dec. 18th.

So much going on...\r\n\r\nFirstly, the Moon remains in relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking Libra all day. It will journey there until Tuesday afternoon, where it will help us be naturally courteous and diplomatic -- we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the last Quarter Moon (which, will be exact Monday early evening...)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday morning</strong>, an opportune Sun/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 7:07am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday. We might want to take advantage of the opportunities this aspect provides -- it\'s an excellent time for creating deeper intimate connections, resolving conflicts with others, having fun and boosting our self-confidence. In fact, we may well feel particularly vital and confident -- and inner optimism can bring rewards.\r\n\r\nHumor can be a big part of this aspect too: We are able to laugh whole-heartedly, and see nothing but possibility in our lives, especially in our intimate relationships and our shared resources with others. This could bring a healthy shift of attitude toward our relationships -- whether personal or business.\r\n\r\nImagine you have a special lens which showed you the \"bigger picture\"... What would your relationships look like when you gazed through it?\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in 16-20 degrees of Capricorn, Scorpio, Virgo or Pisces? If so, you will be </em><!--more--> more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Sagittarius (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).\r\n\r\nMonday late morning, an opportune Venus/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 11:13am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday evening on; it will remain strong until this Tuesday night. We have an opportunity to grow in our social and personal relationships at this time. Humor and caring play a big role in our interactions with others.\r\n\r\nWe can call upon tolerance, optimism and co-operation when dealing with loved ones or business relationships now. Financially speaking, things are \"on the up\"; we may have opportunities now to expand our pocketbooks -- if we make sound decisions that are in the interest of everyone involved.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-20 degrees of Capricorn, Scorpio, Virgo or Pisces? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Sagittarius (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).\r\n\r\nMonday afternoon, an opportune Mars/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 2:59pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Friday evening on; it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. This brings an opportunity to connect our personal passions to our Soul\'s passions. We are resourceful and persistent when pursuing a goal, bringing tremendous effort and focus to bear.\r\n\r\nThis is an opportunity to be committed, determined and passionate, with no half-measures; it\'s also an opportunity to feel more confident about our own talents. Strategic thinking and execution is favored right now, as is eliminating waste around time and energy. Remember though: An \"opportunity\" is just an opening, it\'s not automatically granted -- we have to \"step up\" to the opening, then through it...\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-21 degrees of Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces  or Virgo? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aries or Scorpio (Mars is the ruler of Aries, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Mars\'s movements and aspects; Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)\r\n\r\nMonday early evening, at 5:25pm EST, the last Quarter Moon in 18.5 degrees of Libra becomes exact. We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Libra Sunday morning. The Moon in relationship-oriented, harmony-loving Libra makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in ambitious, goal-oriented Capricorn.\r\n\r\nThis may bring up some challenges. However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed. This Moon phase brings us closer to Jan 16th, which will bring the New Moon in Capricorn.\r\n\r\nWith the last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us take a look at what was started around the time of the last New Moon -- in this case, around Dec. 18th. We now have about a week to wrap those projects up. What -- if anything -- needs last-minute adjustments? What did you discover since Dec. 18th? What did it mean for you?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally or with others).\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-21 degrees of Libra, Capricorn, Aries or Cancer?

These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able to see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t actually make a decision. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 1:46pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 9 hours, <strong>until 10:56pm EST.</strong> Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 10:56pm EST</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey <b>until Thursday morning. </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (February 6th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b><strong>(see Monday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday evening,</strong> <em>an opportune Venus/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 8:37pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday morning on; it will remain strong until Thursday morning.</strong><b> </b>This gives us the opportunity to experiment with how we relate to others -- to do something different or unusual -- freedom plays a big part in this aspect.\r\n\r\nOf course, others are experimenting too, so you might experience some unusual or unexpected interactions during this time -- it\'s a favorable time for social meetings and events. As best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through your relationships.\r\n\r\nWe\'re also ready to experiment with our financial undertakings -- good places to look: all things \"tech\" (electronics, technology, internet); metaphysics; the arts; group activities. This is not the best time to make long-term financial investments not suggested in an intuitive flash ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, Uranus rules Aquarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (February 7th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b><strong>(see Monday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late morning, at 10:54am EST,</strong> the <em>last Quarter Moon in almost 19 degrees of <strong>Scorpio</strong></em> <em>makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in<strong> Aquarius.</strong></em> <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Scorpio on Monday late evening.</strong> <i>The Moon in deep-feeling </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> is making a challenging aspect to the Sun in emotionally detached </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>.</i> This may bring up some challenges.

I kept reminding myself of all the things I usually say to my clients: be kind to yourself, etc. :-)\r\n\r\n<b>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement: </b>\r\n\r\nFeel free to <a href=\"https://goo.gl/SZps6f\">check out my 30-minute excerpt</a> from our last Forecasting Forum about the Eclipses: https://…\r\n\r\nAnd if you want to know how that will impact you personally, feel free to buy the whole 90+ min. webinar on the subject --  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-live/\">click here</a>: http:// -- we talked about what to expect for the next 3 weeks, and how it all applies to our own birth charts ;-)\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #008000;\"><b>This week\'s headline items</b>: Eclipse season continues all week -- in other news, the last Quarter Moon in Scorpio becomes exact on Wednesday late morning, while Venus changes signs from Aquarius to Pisces on Saturday early evening.</span>\r\n\r\nThere will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Monday afternoon (for a little over 9 hours), Thursday very early morning (for a little over 6.5 hours), and Saturday late morning (for almost 10 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (February 5th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in relationship-oriented</i><b><i>, </i></b><i>harmony-seeking </i><b><i>Libra </i>until 10:56pm EST. </b>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time; we are therefore open to compromise and negotiation. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able to see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t actually make a decision. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 1:46pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 9 hours, <strong>until 10:56pm EST.</strong> Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 10:56pm EST</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey <b>until Thursday morning. </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect -- so, as best you can, be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (February 6th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b><strong>(see Monday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday evening,</strong> <em>an opportune Venus/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 8:37pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday morning on; it will remain strong until Thursday morning.</strong><b> </b>This gives us the opportunity to experiment with how we relate to others -- to do something different or unusual -- freedom plays a big part in this aspect.\r\n\r\nOf course, others are experimenting too, so you might experience some unusual or unexpected interactions during this time -- it\'s a favorable time for social meetings and events. As best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through your relationships.\r\n\r\nWe\'re also ready to experiment with our financial undertakings -- good places to look: all things \"tech\" (electronics, technology, internet); metaphysics; the arts; group activities. This is not the best time to make long-term financial investments not suggested in an intuitive flash ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>?

These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able to see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t actually make a decision. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 1:46pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 9 hours, <strong>until 10:56pm EST.</strong> Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect -- so as best you can, be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (February 6th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b><strong>(see Monday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday evening,</strong> <em>an opportune Venus/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 8:37pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday morning on; it will remain strong until Thursday morning.</strong><b> </b>This gives us the opportunity to experiment with how we relate to others -- to do something different or unusual -- freedom plays a big part in this aspect.\r\n\r\nOf course, others are experimenting too, so you might experience some unusual or unexpected interactions during this time -- it\'s a favorable time for social meetings and events. As best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through your relationships.\r\n\r\nWe\'re also ready to experiment with our financial undertakings -- good places to look: all things \"tech\" (electronics, technology, internet); metaphysics; the arts; group activities. This is not the best time to make long-term financial investments not suggested in an intuitive flash ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, Uranus rules Aquarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (February 7th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b><strong>(see Monday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late morning, at 10:54am EST,</strong> the <em>last Quarter Moon <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">in almost 19 degrees of </span><strong>Scorpio</strong></em> <em>makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in<strong> Aquarius.</strong></em> <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Scorpio on Monday late evening.</strong> <i>The Moon in deep-feeling </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> is making a challenging aspect to the Sun in emotionally detached </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>.</i> This may bring up some challenges. However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to the upcoming Solar Eclipse, a powerful New Moon in <b>Aquarius (on Feb.15th).</b> During the last Quarter Moon, we are better served by reviewing those projects we began around the last New Moon -- in this case, that would be Jan. 16th -- as opposed to launching new ones.\r\n\r\nSince this is also the last Moon phase before the Solar Eclipse becomes exact, it also ends an Eclipse cycle; journeys begun around the time of the last Eclipse (Aug. 21st), especially those connected to finding our inner joy and a healthy self-expression of our talents, are now coming to completion.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #008000;\">Given that, what projects call for completion, so they can become milestones on your journey to happiness? Where have you learned to focus more on your heart\'s desire? What if you brought love and laughter to that? What have you discovered since August 2017?</span>\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find kind and creative solutions for whatever comes up, whether internally or with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-21 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Aquarius, Leo</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>?

Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (February 9th): <b> </b></strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b></strong><strong> (see Thursday morning for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning, </strong>we may need to make some adjustments. As best you can, honor both your need for adventure and exploration of life <i>and</i> your need to go within. You may feel a pull between introvert and extrovert, or simply fast and slow. Tune in for a moment and see if you need to take a break or at least slow down a little. As best as you can, be compassionate and kind with yourself. <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><i>Moon in </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>squares Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> <em> at 11:04am EST</em> --</i> post for 9am EST</span>\r\n\r\nOn <strong>Friday afternoon,</strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\"><em><strong> </strong></em>we have the opportunity to connect and collaborate with like-minded people, have an adventure, or simply do something that gets us excited about the future.</span> <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><em>Moon in <strong>Sagittarius</strong> sextiles Mercury in <strong>Aquarius</strong> at 3:32pm EST -- post for 1:30pm EST</em></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (February 10th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><i>Sagittarius</i> until 9:21pm EST (see Thursday morning for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 11:38am EST,</strong> we enter an approximately 10-hour <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>; it lasts until<strong> 9:21pm EST</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self — explore, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

We may also idealize our relationships a little — we’re feeling quite romantic, and hopeful that our dreams will be fulfilled.\r\n\r\nWith Venus in Pisces, our love is very accepting -- it comes as close to \"unconditional\" as humans can get. One way this shows up: We root for the underdog. We prefer feeling things out, to planning.\r\n\r\nAs you can imagine, we may spend our money on things that don’t make “sense” -- but if we heed intuition and allow for money to flow freely, we may discover that the Universe is always taking care of us ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>?

These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able to see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t actually make a decision. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 1:46pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 9 hours, <strong>until 10:56pm EST.</strong> Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect,<span style=\"color: #008000;\"> so do your best to be straightforward -- act in</span> good faith and assume it in others.

We prefer feeling things out, to planning.\r\n\r\nAs you can imagine, we may spend our money on things that don’t make “sense” -- but if we heed intuition and allow for money to flow freely, we may discover that the Universe is always taking care of us ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? If so, beauty and love will enhance your life for the next three-and-a-half weeks. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? You may feel a strong need for romance or unconditional love -- or dream of the ideal relationship. Your finances and values may undergo the spiritual process of releasing control and trusting more to intuition and the flow of life.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday evening</strong>, <em>a challenging Sun/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 6:21pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday evening (Feb. 13th).</strong> This aspect says “stretch and grow!”. There is a feeling of enthusiasm and excitement in the air; it almost seems as if we could move mountains.\r\n\r\nAwareness is key: Be alert for undue optimism, that could lead to overextending or over-promising: As best as you can, stay connected to what\'s real — avoid exaggerations, especially when it comes to your \"feeling body\".\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #008000;\">This is a time for collaboration and for coming together — provided we don\'t let ourselves get too overwhelmed by those historically-based emotional demons.</span> As best as you can, take it one moment at a time, staying grounded in your vision for life.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-25 degrees of</i><b><i> Aquarius, Scorpio, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 9:21pm EST,</strong> <i>t</i><i>he Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until next week Tuesday late morning (Feb. 13th)</strong><b>. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (February 11th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><strong>all day (see <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Saturday late evening</span> for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning<span style=\"color: #008000;\">: </span></strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">we experience a sense of maturity, and of commitment towards ourselves and our long-term goals; for long-term success, focus on long-term projects that require a realistic approach or a solid commitment.</span> <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><em>Moon in <strong>Capricorn</strong> conjuncts Saturn in <strong>Capricorn</strong> at 9:17am EST -- post at 7:30am EST</em></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (Feb. 12th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><strong>all day (see <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Saturday late evening</span> for details).</strong> <em>Moon in <strong>Capricorn</strong> sextiles Neptune in <strong>Pisces</strong> at 12:08am EST.

I kept reminding myself of all the things I usually say to my clients: be kind to yourself, etc. :-)\r\n\r\n<b>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement: </b>\r\n\r\nFeel free to <a href=\"https://goo.gl/SZps6f\">check out my 30-minute excerpt</a> from our last Forecasting Forum about the Eclipses: https://…\r\n\r\nAnd if you want to know how that <span style=\"color: #666699;\">will</span> impact you personally, feel free to buy the whole 90+ min. webinar on the subject --  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-live/\">click here</a><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">: http://</span> -- we talked about what to expect for the next 3 weeks, and how it all applies to our own birth charts ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: Eclipse season continues all week; in other news, the last Quarter Moon in Scorpio becomes exact on Wednesday late morning, while Venus changes signs from Aquarius to Pisces on Saturday early evening.\r\n\r\nThere will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Monday afternoon (for a little over 9 hours), Thursday very early morning (for a little over 6.5 hours), and Saturday late morning (for almost 10 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (February 5th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in relationship-oriented</i><b><i>, </i></b><i>harmony-seeking </i><b><i>Libra </i>until 10:56pm EST. </b>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time; we are therefore open to compromise and negotiation. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able to see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t actually make a decision. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 1:46pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 9 hours, <strong>until 10:56pm EST.</strong> Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 10:56pm EST</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey <b>until Thursday morning. </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (February 6th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b><strong>(see Monday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday evening,</strong> <em>an opportune Venus/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 8:37pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday morning on; it will remain strong until Thursday morning.</strong><b> </b>This gives us the opportunity to experiment with how we relate to others -- to do something different or unusual -- freedom plays a big part in this aspect.\r\n\r\nOf course, others are experimenting too, so you might experience some unusual or unexpected interactions during this time -- it\'s a favorable time for social meetings and events. As best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through your relationships.\r\n\r\nWe\'re also ready to experiment with our financial undertakings -- good places to look: all things \"tech\" (electronics, technology, internet); metaphysics; the arts; group activities. This is not the best time to make long-term financial investments not suggested in an intuitive flash ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, Uranus rules Aquarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (February 7th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b><strong>(see Monday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late morning, at 10:54am EST,</strong> the <em>last Quarter Moon <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">in almost 19 degrees of </span><strong>Scorpio</strong></em> <em>makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in<strong> Aquarius.</strong></em> <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Scorpio on Monday late evening.</strong> <i>The Moon in deep-feeling </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> is making a challenging aspect to the Sun in emotionally detached </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>.</i> This may bring up some challenges. However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to the upcoming Solar Eclipse, a powerful New Moon in <b>Aquarius (on Feb.15th).</b> During the last Quarter Moon, we are better served by reviewing those projects we began around the last New Moon -- in this case, that would be Jan. 16th -- as opposed to launching new ones.\r\n\r\nSince this is also the last Moon phase before the Solar Eclipse becomes exact, it also ends an Eclipse cycle; journeys begun around the time of the last Eclipse (Aug. 21st), especially those connected to finding our inner joy and a healthy self-expression of our talents, are now coming to completion.\r\n\r\nGiven that, what projects call for completion, so they can become milestones on your journey to happiness? Where have you learned to focus more on your heart\'s desire? What if you brought love and laughter to that? What have you discovered since August 2017?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find kind and creative solutions for whatever comes up, whether internally or with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-21 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Aquarius, Leo</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s last Quarter Moon.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (February 8th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><strong>until 8:53am EST (see Monday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday very early morning, at 2:16am EST,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 6.5 hours, <strong>until 8:53am EST.</strong> Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments in your life. As best as you can, find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations. Make space either for connections with like-minded people, for involvement in a cause, or for the creation of deeper emotional bonds.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday morning ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon squares Venus in <strong>Aquarius</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 8:53am EST</strong>,<em> </em><i>the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><b>, </b>where it will journey<i> <strong>until Saturday evening</strong></i><b>. </b>We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (February 9th): <b> </b></strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b></strong><strong> (see Thursday morning for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning, </strong>we may need to make some adjustments. As best you can, honor both your need for adventure and exploration of life <i>and</i> your need to go within. You may feel a pull between introvert and extrovert, or simply fast and slow. Tune in for a moment and see if you need to take a break or at least slow down a little. As best as you can, be compassionate and kind with yourself. <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><i>Moon in </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>squares Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> <em> at 11:04am EST</em> --</i> post for 9am EST</span>\r\n\r\nOn <strong>Friday afternoon,</strong> we have the opportunity to connect and collaborate with like-minded people, have an adventure, or simply do something that gets us excited about the future. <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><em>Moon in <strong>Sagittarius</strong> sextiles Mercury in <strong>Aquarius</strong> at 3:32pm EST -- post for 1:30pm EST</em></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (February 10th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><i>Sagittarius</i> until 9:21pm EST (see Thursday morning for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 11:38am EST,</strong> we enter an approximately 10-hour <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>; it lasts until<strong> 9:21pm EST</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self — explore, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

We may also idealize our relationships a little — we’re feeling quite romantic, and hopeful that our dreams will be fulfilled.\r\n\r\nWith Venus in Pisces, our love is very accepting -- it comes as close to \"unconditional\" as humans can get. One way this shows up: We root for the underdog. We prefer feeling things out, to planning.\r\n\r\nAs you can imagine, we may spend our money on things that don’t make “sense” -- but if we heed intuition and allow for money to flow freely, we may discover that the Universe is always taking care of us ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? If so, beauty and love will enhance your life for the next three-and-a-half weeks. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? You may feel a strong need for romance or unconditional love -- or dream of the ideal relationship. Your finances and values may undergo the spiritual process of releasing control and trusting more to intuition and the flow of life.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday evening</strong>, <em>a challenging Sun/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 6:21pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday evening (Feb. 13th).</strong> This aspect says “stretch and grow!”. There is a feeling of enthusiasm and excitement in the air; it almost seems as if we could move mountains.\r\n\r\nAwareness is key: Be alert for undue optimism, that could lead to overextending or over-promising: As best as you can, stay connected to what\'s real — avoid exaggerations, especially when it comes to your \"feeling body\".\r\n\r\nThis is a time for collaboration and for coming together — provided we don\'t let ourselves get too overwhelmed by those historically-based emotional demons. As best as you can, take it one moment at a time, staying grounded in your vision for life.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-25 degrees of</i><b><i> Aquarius, Scorpio, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 9:21pm EST,</strong> <i>t</i><i>he Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until next week Tuesday late morning (Feb. 13th)</strong><b>. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (February 11th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><strong>all day (see <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Saturday late evening</span> for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning:</strong> we experience a sense of maturity, and of commitment towards ourselves and our long-term goals; for long-term success, focus on long-term projects that require a realistic approach or a solid commitment. <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><em>Moon in <strong>Capricorn</strong> conjuncts Saturn in <strong>Capricorn</strong> at 9:17am EST -- post at 7:30am EST</em></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (Feb. 12th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><strong>all day (see <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Saturday late evening</span> for details).</strong> <em>Moon in <strong>Capricorn</strong> sextiles Neptune in <strong>Pisces</strong> at 12:08am EST.

I was quite aware of my obsessive thinking -- I had to give myself lots of permission to allow thoughts to move through awareness, then release them as much as possible -- and this helped me get centered in love again rather than fear. I did my best to live from a place of  \"all is well\" and \"there is no-one to blame\"; this served all my interactions -- especially the ones with myself ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement: </strong>\r\n\r\nLast chance to sign up for my MONTHLY FORECASTING FORUM, this on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at </b>11am PST/<b>2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time).<b> Please note that we have a Lunar Eclipse in Leo this week, and a Solar Eclipse in Aquarius coming up in mid February!</b>\r\n\r\nIf you want to align yourself with these powerful, evolutionary Lunations and further your Soul\'s journey, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation.\r\n\r\nOther than <a href=\"http://goo.gl/D0P2Rk\">booking a reading</a> with me, this is the highest level of support you can get -- and it\'s <strong>still only $24</strong> for the 90+ minute webinar. <a href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\"><b>To register now, click here </b>http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ</a>\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: On Wednesday morning, a powerful Full-Super-Blue-Moon/Lunar Eclipse becomes exact on Wednesday morning and Mercury changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius.\r\n\r\nThere will also be three <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Tuesday late morning (for a little over 2 hours), Thursday early morning (for a little over 8 hours), and Friday night/Saturday very early morning (for a little over 14.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (January 29th):</strong><em> the Moon remains in <i>protective, nurturing </i><strong>Cancer </strong></em><strong>all day.</strong> It will journey there <b>until Tuesday late evening</b>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, otherwise you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<b><strong>Monday late</strong> morning</b>, we are in a state of “flow” and emotional connection to others; spiritual and creative endeavors are favored. <i></i>\r\n\r\n<b><strong>Monday early afternoon </strong></b>requires some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice, one that demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to connect to like-minded people that share our vision — and on the other hand, the need to nurture ourselves and stay in touch with our feeling body.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late evening</strong>, we may take an all-or-northing attitude toward others; this could drive some tension or oppositional behaviors... As best you can, remain flexible and practice self-care — take good care of your emotional and physical body -- that way, you\'ll remain able to empower yourself and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (January 30th): </strong><em>the Moon remains in <i>protective, nurturing </i><strong>Cancer</strong></em><strong><em> </em>until 1:53pm EST (</strong>see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 11:40am EST, </strong>we enter a <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 2 hours, <strong>until 1:53pm EST.</strong> </span>Use this intuitive time to find balance between nurturing and self-care, versus achieving your goals. As always during VoC, take it easy -- go with the flow and avoid starting anything brand-new.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan late morning and early afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 1:53pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Thursday afternoon</strong><b>. </b>We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the Lunar Eclipse</i> -- a very powerful Full Moon (exact on Wednesday morning).\r\n\r\nWe all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-) So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can.\r\n\r\nFun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (January 31st): </strong><i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><strong>all day </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday morning, at 8:27am EST: </b><i>the Moon opposes the Sun</i> <i>in 11.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo</i></b> -- <em>a very powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse</em> becomes exact. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered <em>Leo</em> Tuesday at 1:53pm EST. </strong>\r\n\r\nOnce every six months, the Sun, Moon, and Earth finally align precisely enough for a Solar or Lunar Eclipse to occur; Eclipses are always powerfully connected to the Moon Nodes and thus to our Soul\'s Journey. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/powerful-full-supermoon-lunar-eclipse-in-leo-jan-feb-2018/\">If you’d like to learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video</a>.\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon is <i>the first of two Eclipses within the next four weeks and it\'s extra-powerful -- firstly</i><i>, because it\'s</i> a <i>SuperMoon -- </i>these occur when the Moon is either Full or New, while at its closest distance to the Earth; they are therefore more powerful. This often means an increase in emotional reactions, plus greater awareness around the issues connected to the particular Full Moon energy in question.\r\n\r\nSecondly, as the second Full Moon of this calendar month, it is also a \"<i>Blue Moon\" -- so </i>I think we can go ahead and call it a SuperBlue Moon :-)\r\n\r\nGiven that our SuperBlue Full Moon is happening in the <b>Leo</b>/<b>Aquarius</b> polarity, there\'s extra emphasis on increasing awareness of our mind\'s activities, and on opening our heart chakras. As we do this, we can open more to joy, and be more playful.\r\n\r\nLunar Eclipses generally direct our attention to our \"emotional body” and our relationships; they also connect us more fully to our Soul’s journey (as shown by the Moon Nodes). This particular Eclipse focuses on the relationship between the individual (<b>Leo</b>) and the collective (<b>Aquarius</b>).\r\n\r\nWe become aware of what has been suppressed or ignored -- or, this being a North Node Eclipse, what needs to be embraced, integrated and explored -- in regards to the <b>Leo</b> energy.\r\n\r\nIt\'s been 19 years since we experienced a Lunar Eclipse in this degree... Think back to Jan. 31st, 1999: What did I need to open my heart to back then? What became more clear at that time, in regards to exploring joy? Was I able to get in touch with my inner child?\r\n\r\nThis is the third Lunar Eclipse in a 23-month cycle of Eclipses, all connected to the <b>Leo/Aquarius</b> polarity; the cycle in question began in February 2017 with a Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b> and will last until Jan. 2019, ending with yet another Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b>.\r\n\r\nThink back to February of last year: What started shifting for me, in my attitudes towards the collective (or \"humanity\")? How about like-minded people? Was there likewise a shift in my desire for more joy? Self-expression? Heartfelt actions? If I think back to the last Solar Eclipse in Leo from August 21st, 2017, what has brought the possibility for more joy into my life?\r\n\r\nLife-changing revelations are more likely over the next two weeks — and with them, shifts in our consciousness — and the impact of an Eclipse\'s energy also lasts longer than a regular Lunation (anywhere from 6 months to 2 years!)\r\n\r\nI will talk about the upcoming Eclipses in more detail in my next Forecasting Forum — if you want to know how the Eclipses are going to impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up, to our own birth charts. The Forum will be live on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time); <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">for more info or to register, click here</a>\r\n\r\nThis particular Eclipse focuses on authentic self-expression and creativity. Ask yourself: What might open up if I expressed myself with my heart as my center? With more courage? If I were too much in my head, what would tip me off to that? What might my world look like, if I allowed my light to shine just a little brighter?\r\n\r\nWe are also invited to allow head and heart to merge, bringing about a brighter future for humankind -- what would it look like if I allowed that merger? What if I chose, right here and now, to contribute to humanity from a courageous, heart-centered and authentic place? What if I simply chose that, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>Leo</b> represents our individual expression, the kind of light we came to shine, joy we came to spread. <b>Leo</b> is the sign of individual creativity; <b>Aquarius</b> represents the power of collaboration, where the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts. <b>Aquarius</b>, connects us to the complex patterns formed by many coming together<i>.</i>\r\n\r\nThis means it\'s important to be especially aware and responsible when connecting with others. As best as you can, get present and ask yourself: What am I bringing forth? What are my intentions? What is in my heart that longs to be expressed? Do I have the courage to stand in my authentic self-expression?\r\n\r\nIf we want to see a greater shift in the world at large (an Aquarian concern), we must each do our own part and express our unique gifts (Leo’s imperative). That said, if we don\'t come from the heart -- or if we get stuck over-thinking things and/or being overly concerned with what other people are thinking -- we will not be able to fulfill on that vision.\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> makes a Quincunx to Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>. </i>This might bring some internal discomfort; we need to make inner adjustments here. It nudges us to tune into our intuition, and create from a place of love rather than fear.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What if it were possible to get really in tune with my intuitive feeling body <i>and</i> express myself fully, with courage and without compromise? Might an introverted approach like that serve my extroverted, unique expression of Self? How can I transform lower vibrational feelings? For example, how might I transform fear into love? What approach might support such a transformation?\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun (ruler of Leo) in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> conjoins the South Node and Venus in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>. </i>This reminds us that each one of us has an electromagnetic field, and are an integral part of a much larger field, where our thoughts, growth, and actions interweave and affect the course of humanity. Together, we are exponentially more powerful.\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) is currently in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>. It\'s making a Square to Pluto and Mercury in </i><b><i>Capricorn.</i></b><i> </i>We are invited to be more honest with ourselves and others (especially about our fears and desires), and to pay attention to our thinking patterns, especially in regards to achieving things out there in the world.\r\n\r\nIn fact, you could say we are being invited to bring an innovative approach to who we are \"out there in the world\" -- and to our interactions with others… In other words: To step it up -- and walk our unique path. To inspire others. Life is too short to waste on things we are less than fully passionate about, that don\'t fully express our uniqueness.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What is being radically transformed in my life? Where am I being invited to confront outdated thought-forms? What\'s the relationship between my inner teenager and my inner adult?\r\n\r\nPluto represents the courage it takes to face our shadows and fears -- and if we can do that, we can discover our true motivations, desires -- and our true power. What do I get obsessed about? What scares me the most, when it comes to fully committing to things I feel passionate about?\r\n\r\nTake a look back at situations that felt disempowering -- and at situations that evoked some sort of helpless fury. When in the past have I given my power away to others, especially authority figures? Was it really about me? What did I choose in that moment?\r\n\r\n<i>Saturn (the traditional ruler of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>) currently in its own sign. </i>Here is a quote that fits really beautifully with this energy: <i>\"The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift of life is yours—it’s an amazing journey, and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. Your journey is determined by the choices you make. Your answers are determined by the questions you ask. Your destination is determined by the steps you take. Your future is determined by what you do today.\"</i> -- Dan Zadra\r\n\r\nWe are also encouraged during this Full Moon to acknowledge that we are all in this together, and that each one of us has the ability to effect change by tapping into our courage, and living our vision in every moment -- and this takes dropping into our hearts more fully.\r\n\r\nFor this <i>Full SuperBlue Moon/Lunar Eclipse</i> you could ask yourself these questions too: How might I learn about self-love? What if I chose to love the world as if it was a reflection of my heart and soul? What if I did that while expressing my unique soul-self, my unique spirit? Where do the inner and the outer experiences of love and connectedness meet?\r\n\r\nFlexibility, thinking outside the box, and self-care are critical during Eclipse season! Self-care is particularly important in times of stress and/or change — basic things, like making sure that we eat healthily and regularly, drink plenty of water, exercise, get plentiful rest -- and allow affection in from friends, family, or pets. Connecting to what feels supportive in order to stay grounded and regenerate ourselves can be very helpful as well.\r\n\r\nThere are so many more aspects we could talk about with this Lunar Eclipse chart, I\'d need an hour-and-a-half to cover it all — and that\'s just what I\'ll be doing during the 90-minute Monthly Forecasting Forum on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time)<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">click here to register</a> :-)\r\n\r\nThis <i>Lunar Eclipse</i> shows us that there is always work to be done -- and there\'s no need to get overwhelmed by that, because we all have the power to do it. All we have to do is look into our own heart and see the strength and love lying there. Ask yourself: Where could I be the voice? Where could I be or become the visionary? What if I accepted that I am the hero/heroine of my story? What is my role at this pivotal time?\r\n\r\nRemember: No effort is too small, no step too modest... And most important of all, perhaps: it\'s never too late to be the one who makes a difference -- especially when it comes from the heart and feels authentic!\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, trust that you have what it takes to make a difference for yourself and others. <i>And </i><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/powerful-full-supermoon-lunar-eclipse-in-leo-jan-feb-2018/\">if you’d like to learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video</a>.\r\n\r\nA final note about Eclipses: they\'re consciousness upgrades, so for 7 - 10 days before and after one, we are usually in uncharted territory -- anything is possible and it\'s wise to expect the unexpected. Anything <i>brand-new</i> started during this time will likely not pan out the way we thought it would, often because important information comes to light only after Eclipse season is over.\r\n\r\nFor that reason, try to defer any major brand-new projects until after Feb. 25th, when this particular Eclipse season ends. That said, if something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic, allow it to “be”... Just be wary of the urge to push something forward merely to relieve anxiety or impatience.\r\n\r\nAllow for the upgrade to download, staying centered and doing your best to \"ground\" from within -- try using conscious breathing, and regard flexibility as a tool. Best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body…\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point or personal planets in 6-17 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo, Aquarius, Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s Full Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 8:39am EST,</strong><strong> </strong><i>Mercury </i><i>leaves practical, cautious, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><i>and moves into</i> <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking, objective </i><b><i>Aquarius.</i></b><b><i> </i></b>It will journey there <b>until February 17th.<i> </i></b>For the next three weeks, we tend to contradict others more quickly, and offer a different perspective. We enjoy intellectual debates. We are quicker and more alert; our powers of observation are particularly strong.\r\n\r\nWe have something interesting to say, and our perspective on issues can be delightfully unusual and surprisingly insightful. This makes for some great conversations. We are more attracted to scientific and/or metaphysical pursuits right now. Anything that promises progress and advancement for mankind has special appeal.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel a greater need for focusing on your future and any humanitarian causes. Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will most likely feel more chatty for the next 3 weeks. </i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (February 1st): </strong><i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving</i><strong><em> Leo</em></strong><em> </em><strong>until 2:13pm EST </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 5:59am EST, </strong>we enter a <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 8 hours, <strong>until 2:13pm EST. </strong></span>During this intuitive time, have fun connecting with others and doing things that bring you joy — explore something different, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday morning until early afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 2:13pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into detail-oriented, practical</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <strong>until Saturday late afternoon</strong>; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<b> </b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (Feb. 2nd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong><i> </i><b>all day</b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Thursday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning, </strong>we<strong> </strong>seek a balance between head and heart, facts and faith, reason and intuition. That said, if you can achieve that balance, it’s a great day for being of service.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday early afternoon</strong> calls for some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice. Making this choice demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to engage in humanitarian causes — and on the other hand, the need to  tend to our daily routines.\r\n\r\n<b>Friday late evening</b>, we can potentially accomplish quite a bit: The Moon in <b>Virgo</b> makes a harmonious aspect to Pluto in <b>Capricorn</b>. Virgo and Capricorn are Earth signs, so getting down to business and focusing on the task at hand takes less effort than normal. We are able to tackle anything that requires attention to detail and maybe even implement health routines or other systems that support our long-term goals.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (February 3rd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><em> </em><strong>until 4:47pm EST </strong>(see Thursday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 2:07am EST, </strong>we enter a <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 14.5 hours, <strong>until 4:47pm EST. </strong></span>Use this intuitive time to get organized, improve daily routines, and to develop more awareness of how that all fits in with expanding intimate connections with others.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday very early morning until the late afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday late morning, </strong><em>an opportune Mercury/Mars aspect </em>becomes exact at 10:57am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Friday morning on; it will remain strong until Sunday evening. </strong>This aspect provides an opportunity to connect thought to action. Body and mind can align; words and deeds connect with ease. As with any opportunity, we have to \"take\" this one: it will not happen by itself.\r\n\r\nWhat actions are calling to you today? How might those actions be connected to other like-minded people... or a vision you have for humanity\'s future?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <em>3-7 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 4:47pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>, where it will journey<b> <strong>until Monday late afternoon.</strong> </b>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (February 4th): </strong><em>t</em><em>he Moon remains in </em><em><i>relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking</i></em><strong><em><i> </i>Libra</em></strong><em> </em><strong>all day </strong>(see Saturday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning, </strong><em>a challenging Venus/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 1:07am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Thursday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (Feb 6th). </strong>This aspect asks that we question our most fundamental beliefs and conditioning around the visions we value (and the people that share those visions) and how we view our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\nWe have the opportunity here to grow beyond our understanding of what our values get us. Issues connected to love, relationships, and whatever is most valuable to us, can seem overwhelming at this time. This is because we have a tendency to overindulge or over-promise.\r\n\r\nWe mean well, because we are feeling quite optimistic at this time -- but we may underestimate how much time we actually have, or how good a fit something actually is. Overspending could be connected to this aspect as well (as could making assumptions in our relationships); as best as you can, bring a non-judgmental awareness to any such tendencies.\r\n\r\nWhat are you observing about yourself and your relationships with others? What is enough... and what is too much?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>18-25 degrees</em></i><i> of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly.

In what ways did you grow or expand? What felt like a birth or a new beginning at that time? How could you take all of that to the next level?</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939881\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">\r\n</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939883\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">One thing to keep in mind when looking at those dates in the past: you are no longer the same person. Your level of consciousness that you have now, is very different from what is was 12 or 24 years ago. The past never repeats itself in the same exact way, especially not when we have been continually growing and evolving on a physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level!</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939884\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">\r\n</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939886\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">Jupiter symbolizes the principle of expansion; in Libra it holds a magnifying glass over “fair play\", moderation and balance within our relationships and our environment -- and changes our perspective on justice and peace. Since Libra is all about weighing our options and wanting to be fair and just, we tend to not make decisions very easily, rather we tend to go back and forth, back and forth, trying to get to the ideal of what we are seeking.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939887\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">\r\n</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939889\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">With Jupiter in Scorpio, the magnifying glass now swings over to authentic, emotional commitments or connections. We are invited to seek a deeper understanding of our subconscious drives and fears, of any suppressed or denied parts of ourselves, so we can feel more fully and authentically connected to all parts of ourselves (and thereby feel empowered). Everything in the human unconscious is lit up. </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939890\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">\r\n</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939892\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">Jupiter promotes a greater understanding of all of our emotions (the good the bad and the ugly, the instinctual and intuitive) and our ability or inability to have intimacy. We tend to have more of an all-or-nothing, do-or-die attitude towards life… Sex, money, power, shared resources and emotional vitality (i.e. passion) become key issues.  </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939893\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">\r\n</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939895\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">We can definitely attract the most good fortune when we give our “all” into a project or undertaking -- and use our magnetic powers to heal others.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939896\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">\r\n</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939898\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"><b>For the next 13 months,</b> we are supported in discovering our motivations and releasing what holds us back from achieving our true desires. We’re also supported in feeling fully empowered in collaborations with others. This is a good time for dealing with outdated psychological patterns, clearing out the basement, or embarking on an deep, meaningful adventure.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939899\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">\r\n</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939901\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">The phase now beginning emphasizes detoxing and clearing out what is \"broken\" or unhealthy, thereby giving us a new lease on life. We are more passionate and persistent at this time. We learn about giving up something in order to get (or create) something empowering (for ourselves and others — empowerment is key!) </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939902\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">\r\n</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939904\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">This process very well could operate on an unconscious level, so any shadow work that we invest in will pay off; we are able to feel more optimistic about our discoveries and we gain a new perspective about those suppressed or denied parts of ourselves.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939905\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">\r\n</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939907\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">Since Scorpio also deals with other people\'s resources, we can see greater possibilities when it comes to financial collaborations, and any gifts or talents that others offer us. Merging and connecting our talents with others will most likely feel exhilarating and create a fresh start or a new birth of some kind.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939908\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">\r\n</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939910\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">We are also more likely to be enthusiastic for deeper studies and meanings -- all that is taboo or mysterious (perhaps even occult), psychology, research of all types and levels... and the possibility for deep bonding, whether on a physical or emotional level. </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939911\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">\r\n</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939913\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">Questions you could ask yourself: What might promote a deeper connection to myself? Is there a journey I could embark on that would open my eyes to a deeper understanding of my own psyche? What needs to end, for a renewed empowerment and passion for life to emerge?</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939914\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">\r\n</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939916\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">Collectively, we will probably see the full spectrum of possibilities expressed; Scorpio is complex, with potentially high, positive meanings, along with darker ones. That which is taboo is brought to the surface. We see our fears crystalized and expressed in the outside world. </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939917\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">\r\n</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939919\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">The lower vibrations of Scorpio such as repression, obsession, dark and heavy brooding, addictions, extreme behaviors and power struggles might show up as well. No matter what we experience on a collective level, ultimately, if we are open to seeing the bigger picture, our own personal journey will guide us into a deeper understanding of ourselves.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939920\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">\r\n</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939922\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"><i>Pluto as the modern ruler, and Mars as the traditional ruler of <b>Scorpio</b></i> play an important role in our journey towards greater empowerment.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939923\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">\r\n</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-1939925\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"><i>Saturn moved through <b>Scorpio</b></i> from Oct. 2012 until Dec. 2014, and June 2015 until Sept. 2015.

Take a breath. Relax. Find your peace. Don\'t require the Universe to move more rapidly than it is. It is actually working perfectly, and it will prove that to you if you will give it a chance. Really. Trust me on this.” — Neale Donald Walsh</span>\r\n<h3>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement:</h3>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are getting closer to the launch of my new online community!</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> Right now we are aiming for Jan.16th or 17th -- keep your fingers crossed for me ;-) I\'m super-excited, and at the same time, I also sometimes stress out about the scope of this amazing new beginning for myself and everyone out there who will join us. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">But as my spiritual coach likes to remind me, \"Life is an ongoing experiment\" and \"True professionalism is about being able to be flexible and kind about unforeseen situations that come up, allowing ourselves to learn from them and finding out how to make creative adjustments.\"</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>This week\'s headline item<span style=\"color: #000000;\">s</span></b>: the New Moon in Capricorn becomes exact on Tuesday; Venus changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius on Wednesday, and the Sun will do the same on Friday. Last but not least, Eclipse season begins on Sunday and runs until Feb. 25th.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">There will also be three <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning (for 2 hours), Friday morning (for a little over 8.5 hours), and Sunday evening (for a little over 5 hours).</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday (January 15th): </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day.</b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> It will journey there <b>until Wednesday very early morning. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery. </span><!--more-->\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, be truthful with yourself about where you are at: Do you actually have a realistic view about what is so, right now, in your life? Not what you wish it to be or what you would like it to be or where you see yourself going.... What is so right now? Once you know where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\", whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday very early morning, </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">becomes exact at 1:59am EST.</span><b> We started to feel this aspect from Friday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday morning. </b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Until Friday, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">23-27 degrees</span> of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday late evening: </b><i>an opportune long-term Jupiter/Pluto aspect </i>that we <b>started to feel back on Tuesday Jan. 3rd becomes exact at 11:13pm EST; it will remain strong until Wednesday, Jan. 31st </b>and brings with it an opportunity to deepen our relationships, business and personal alike. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">A positive attitude and deeper trust in our connections with others gives us the chance to build something meaningful and share our passions with them. We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support professional or personal goals. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: Where could I really dig in to solve a problem? How might passion help deliver on my long-term goals? How could other people\'s resources support my ability to create transformation? How might they help me stand in my power?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><b><i> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">17-21 degrees</span> </i></b><i>of</i><b><i> Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces </i></b><i>or <strong>Virgo</strong></i><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces). </i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday (Jan. 16th): </b><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>t</em><b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">he Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</span></i></b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day </b></span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">(see Monday for details).</span> </span></span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday evening, at 9:17pm ES</b>T<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,</span><em> the Moon aligns with the Sun in almost 27 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong>, </em>launching </span><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">a new Moon cycle.</span> </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is a good time to go within, to seed anything we would like to accomplish for the next 28 days, and maybe even beyond. The next section of this forecast will dig in to this in more detail; you may also want to <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/commitments-integrity/\">watch my New Moon video</a> :-) </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is the first New Moon of the year and since <strong>Capricorn</strong> represents the quest for mastery on the physical plane, some useful questions you can ask yourself include: </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">What is my relationship to the physical? Do I respect the laws of matter? Am I going about things in a realistic way? How committed am I really? Where does my inner compass point? What am I willing to undergo to overcome adversity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The highest vibration of <strong>Capricorn</strong> is the development of responsibility, resourcefulness, reliability, self-mastery, the ability to set realistic goals and healthy boundaries. The next 28 days are a perfect time to work on these areas. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, prepare for the future, make commitments and recognize responsibilities -- in other words, nurture your dreams in a realistic manner. Focus on setting and achieving practical and attainable long-term goals, one step at a time, one day at a time -- this is not about immediate results, it\'s about the quality of the foundation you are building.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> also invites us to set the kind of realistic limits and boundaries that allow everyone involved to learn from the consequences of their choices. Where in my life am I able to set realistic limits and boundaries? Where is that an obstacle in your life? What am I afraid of in those moments? What would be the worst of that?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> relates directly to the level of our maturity: We start out on a more instinctual, survival level; this stage is basically fear-based, with a scarcity mentality. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Once we get better at living on the earth plane -- and we understand the rules better -- we transition to goal-oriented ambition and self-challenge, seeking recognition and rewards. This phase is still sometimes fear-based, but already we are taking more responsibility for our part in achieving things, and we are manifesting on the physical plane. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Eventually, as we grow spiritually and learn more about the laws of matter, earthly ambitions are often replaced by some form of spiritual service. We recognize that personal gain is not the only (or even the highest) goal, we see that when we contribute to others, we are also giving to ourselves -- perhaps we also surpass the physical appearance of separation and connect to life in it\'s highest form.</span> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">At this level, we are living in pure accordance with our conscience, from a place of maturity and inner guidance.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: What if I developed 5% more discipline? Integrity? What about 5% more commitment towards something that aligns both with myself and with life itself? What would 100% responsibility for my life look like? What if I responded to situations in a way that respects and serves all those involved? </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">  </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> <em>This New Moon aligns with Venus and Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong> and squares Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>.</em> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">First let\'s focus on the alignment with Venus and Pluto: This conveys an extra-potent message about our perception of physical reality -- time and space -- and about our relationship to love, our values, power or feeling empowered. Ask yourself: If I truly had choice in the matter, what kind of future would I choose to step into? Who would I choose to connect with? Why? Who would I not choose to connect with? Why not?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Venus in conjunction with the New Moon</em> advises us to choose wisely and from the heart. Ask yourself: Am I true to myself? Am I working too hard without making enough progress? Am I expressing my feelings truthfully? Or hiding my true feelings from others? Am I in touch with what\'s important to me -- especially in regards to relationships? Am I happy? Could I love and respect myself and life 5% more?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">With this many planets in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, it is important for us to take breaks — or simply slow down and allow ourselves to tune in. It’s important to explore ways to stay heart-centered and grounded -- seek tools or people to help you with that exploration. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Now let\'s talk about <em>the square to Uranus</em> -- the energy of freedom, innovation and reform. This combo focuses our attention on the right use of power -- which respects the rights, needs, and gifts of all beings. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: Where do I need to be more courageous? Where do I need to \"think different\"? What if I became 5% more aware of my personal power? Where might I have given it away to others? And how might I begin to reclaim it? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Remember that change is not always progress. Consider all options first and then respond, rather than reacting; stay flexible and be willing to entertain new possibilities. What if -- in small or large ways -- I could help birth a new age, and with it a new world, one based on heart-centered consciousness and individual freedoms?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>The New Moon also sextiles Mars in <strong>Scorpio</strong> and Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong></em>. This is an opportunity to heal our collective wounds around any sense of spiritual disconnection in our world of accomplishments. We get a chance to connect more deeply with others and bring a powerful approach to what we are building and working towards. Our actions tend to be in greater alignment with our deepest desires.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: What if I could be both productive <em>and</em> gentle with myself at the same time? What would a compassionate approach make possible? What is pushing or pulling at me? How could my actions become a source of empowerment? What if I allowed all actions to flow from a deep sense of authentic connectedness? What if I forgave myself and others for having flaws or limitations?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Given that it rules <strong>Capricorn</strong>, <em>Saturn\'s placement in its own sign</em> plays an important role with this New Moon -- and if you\'d like to know how Saturn\'s journey in <strong>Capricorn</strong> will impact you personally over the next three years, feel free to check out my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, available for purchase <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/saturn-in-capricorn-until-2020/\">on my website</a> (or check out a<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/saturn/5067/\"> 30-minute excerpt for free :-)</a></span>\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Saturn conjuncts Mercury while in <strong>Capricorn</strong></em>. This reminds us of the power of our mind -- that our thoughts and words matter. What am I doing, career-wise? What is the long-term plan? How can I honor and share those goals with others in a clear and honest way? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">It\'s time to think seriously about what no longer works. As best as you can, investigate your thought processes: What no longer feels useful in my approach? What if I got real about that? What might be possible if I took 5% more responsibility for my inner dialog, and the energy those thoughts disperse?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>To sum all of this up:</strong> We are invited to become mature, responsible planetary citizens, while honoring our individuality -- in other words, making a difference, one by one -- even when it seems as though we are too little to create a big shift on our own. No matter how small an action may seem, every pebble makes a ripple...</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This cosmic combo also directs our attention to our bottom lines. What matters most to me? What are my priorities? Am I living my truth, and thus loving my goals? Where is it best to be flexible, and where must I remain focused and in alignment with my commitments? When have I felt the happiest? What if I committed 5% more to the things, people and places in my life that make me happy? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Inner strength and self-reliance come almost entirely from adversity; obstacles are the part of life that show us where we have an opportunity to become more capable and where we have drifted from contact with outer reality or inner truth. Am I on the right track, as best as I can tell? Am I walking my own path? Or someone else\'s? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">What obstacles can I see or sense from here? What if there was value in those obstacles? Could I send them gratitude for being given the opportunity to get back into greater alignment with myself and reality?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Choose wisely for 2018 and beyond. Participate consciously in the evolution of existence on this planet, not from fear, but from knowledge of your inner strength and personal power -- the power of your heart and your humanity! Trust your inner truth!</span>\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are also about to enter Eclipse season, as the first of two Eclipses becomes exact on Jan. 31st; I\'ll be talking more about this in my next Monthly Forecasting Forum on Feb. 3rd.

An inner awareness needs to be developed in order to see what needs adjusting -- this aspect calls for flexibility.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We experience an internal stress between our masculine energies (assertiveness/aggression) and our need to express our unique spark (and the desire to make a difference).</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are being asked to go within and look at our personal goals and desires -- and reach a new perspective on how we go about achieving them. Are we driven by personal resistance and rebellion, or motivated to positively impact humanity?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Once we get clear about our deepest motivations, we will discover new ways to move forward and embrace our uniqueness in a healthy way, while demonstrating our strength and power more authentically, from a place of love and abundance, rather than fear and limitation. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">How might you get in touch with your inner genius? What if you shared it from a true desire to empower others?  What \"old\" behaviors can now be released? What might a deep, passionate connection to your vision of a future self look like? What might be possible if you could get 5% more comfortable with being uncomfortable?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-26 degrees of <strong>Scorpio</strong> or <strong>Aries</strong>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.

This is a good time for financial undertakings involving the following areas: electronics, technology and the internet, metaphysics, the arts group activities.   </span>\r\n\r\n<em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in <strong>Aquarius</strong>?

What if my desires were valid? </span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We may also develop a strong sense of mission that can carry us through obstacles. We\'d like to team up with others to fight injustice, purge something \"unclean\" from the world, or  simply bring healing where we believe it\'s needed.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 22-28 degrees of <strong>Scorpio, Pisces </strong>or<strong> Cancer</strong>?

This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">But... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">It\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days. </span> <b></b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Friday evening, </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an opportune Mercury/Neptune aspect </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">becomes exact at 8:08pm EST.</span><b> We started to feel this aspect from Thursday morning on; it will remain strong until Saturday night.</b></span> <span style=\"color: #000000;\">This aspect gives us the opportunity to bring compassion and an intuitive approach to our thinking process. Having faith and connecting to our Higher Selves will be of service to us at this time. Any artistic or spiritual endeavors are likely to do well at this time. Music might help us with our thinking process and ability to get things done. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Let yourself be inspired! A book, a song, a movie, someone else\'s words… allow the Universe to speak to you. Open your mind to a higher vibration -- and remember, opportunities are openings... they aren\'t necessarily handed to us... we have to \"take\" them and make something of them. Is there anything that came up around 16 days ago that needs to be readdressed? If so, this is your chance... ;-)</span>\r\n\r\n<em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 10-14 degrees of <strong>Capricorn, Pisces, Scorpio </strong>or<strong> Taurus</strong>?

You may also want to plan Sunday evening and night ahead of time ;-) </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Last but not least, also on <strong>Sunday</strong>, we enter <em>Eclipse season</em> <strong>until Feb. 25th</strong>; for 10 days before and after an Eclipse, we are usually in uncharted territory: anything is possible and it\'s wise to expect the unexpected. <span style=\"color: #800000;\"><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/powerful-full-supermoon-lunar-eclipse-in-leo-jan-feb-2018/\">Feel free to watch my video about the upcoming Lunar Eclipse</a> </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Anything brand-new (and I really mean brand, brand-new) started during this time will likely not pan out the way we thought it would, often because important information comes to light only after the New Moon that follows the last Eclipse. If possible, try to defer any major brand-new projects <strong>until after Feb. 25th,</strong> when this Eclipse season is over. If something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic… allow it to be.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Another Eclipse-related phenomenon: not only do Eclipses bring up uncertainty in us, they might also leave us nervous, anxious, unsettled and disoriented. As best as you can, observe your feelings and stay grounded in the \"here and now\". Connect to your intuition and inner wisdom; they will help carry you through this period. Remember: it\'s temporary and we are receiving an upgrade -- that\'s a good thing!</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Just like upgrading a computer, you will get all the information you need, as soon as the upgrade is complete -- so as best you can, be patient. This does not mean that we need to drop everything; it just means it\'s wise to check in with your higher Self -- do this whichever way feels right to you ;-) </span>\r\n\r\n<b>A head\'s up for next</b> <b>Monday (Jan. 22nd): </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Moon remains in <em>creative, sensitive</em> </span></i><b><i>Pisces </i></b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and </span><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">VoC</span></a><b> until 1:27am EST </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(see Friday afternoon for details). </span><b>At 1:27am EST</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, </span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Moon moves into </span></i><b><i>Aries</i></b><b>, where it will journey until Wednesday morning.

I kept reminding myself of all the things I usually say to my clients: be kind to yourself, etc. :-)\r\n\r\n<b>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement: </b>\r\n\r\nFeel free to <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/eclipses-jan-feb-2018-13-min-excerpt/\">check out my 13-minute excerpt</a> from our last Forecasting Forum about the Eclipses.\r\n\r\nAnd if you want to know how these powerful Lunations <span style=\"color: #666699;\">will</span> impact you personally, feel free to buy the whole 90+ min. webinar on the subject --  click here<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">: </span> we talked about what to expect for the next 3 weeks, and how it all applies to our own birth charts ;-) ***Only available until Feb. 25th!***\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: Eclipse season continues all week; in other news, the last Quarter Moon in Scorpio becomes exact on Wednesday late morning, while Venus changes signs from Aquarius to Pisces on Saturday early evening.\r\n\r\nThere will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Monday afternoon (for a little over 9 hours), Thursday very early morning (for a little over 6.5 hours), and Saturday late morning (for almost 10 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (February 5th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in relationship-oriented</i><b><i>, </i></b><i>harmony-seeking </i><b><i>Libra </i>until 10:56pm EST. </b>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.<!--more-->\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time; we are therefore open to compromise and negotiation. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able to see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t actually make a decision. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 1:46pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 9 hours, <strong>until 10:56pm EST.</strong> Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 10:56pm EST</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey <b>until Thursday morning. </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (February 6th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b><strong>(see Monday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday evening,</strong> <em>an opportune Venus/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 8:37pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday morning on; it will remain strong until Thursday morning.</strong><b> </b>This gives us the opportunity to experiment with how we relate to others -- to do something different or unusual -- freedom plays a big part in this aspect.\r\n\r\nOf course, others are experimenting too, so you might experience some unusual or unexpected interactions during this time -- it\'s a favorable time for social meetings and events. As best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through your relationships.\r\n\r\nWe\'re also ready to experiment with our financial undertakings -- good places to look: all things \"tech\" (electronics, technology, internet); metaphysics; the arts; group activities. This is not the best time to make long-term financial investments not suggested in an intuitive flash ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, Uranus rules Aquarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (February 7th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b><strong>(see Monday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late morning, at 10:54am EST,</strong> the <em>last Quarter Moon in almost 19 degrees of <strong>Scorpio</strong></em> <em>makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in<strong> Aquarius.</strong></em> <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Scorpio on Monday late evening.</strong> <i>The Moon in deep-feeling </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> is making a challenging aspect to the Sun in emotionally detached </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>.</i> This may bring up some challenges. However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to the upcoming Solar Eclipse, a powerful New Moon in <b>Aquarius (on Feb.15th).</b> During the last Quarter Moon, we are better served by reviewing those projects we began around the last New Moon -- in this case, that would be Jan. 16th -- as opposed to launching new ones.\r\n\r\nSince this is also the last Moon phase before the Solar Eclipse becomes exact, it also ends an Eclipse cycle; journeys begun around the time of the last Eclipse (Aug. 21st), especially those connected to finding our inner joy and a healthy self-expression of our talents, are now coming to completion.\r\n\r\nGiven that, what projects call for completion, so they can become milestones on your journey to happiness? Where have you learned to focus more on your heart\'s desire? What if you brought love and laughter to that? What have you discovered since August 2017?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find kind and creative solutions for whatever comes up, whether internally or with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-21 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Aquarius, Leo</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s last Quarter Moon.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (February 8th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><strong>until 8:53am EST (see Monday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday very early morning, at 2:16am EST,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 6.5 hours, <strong>until 8:53am EST.</strong> Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments in your life. As best as you can, find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations. Make space either for connections with like-minded people, for involvement in a cause, or for the creation of deeper emotional bonds.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday morning ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 8:53am EST</strong>,<em> </em><i>the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><b>, </b>where it will journey<i> <strong>until Saturday evening</strong></i><b>. </b>We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (February 9th): <b> </b></strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b></strong><strong> (see Thursday morning for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning, </strong>we may need to make some adjustments. As best you can, honor both your need for adventure and exploration of life <i>and</i> your need to go within. You may feel a pull between introvert and extrovert, or simply fast and slow. Tune in for a moment and see if you need to take a break or at least slow down a little. As best as you can, be compassionate and kind with yourself.\r\n\r\nOn <strong>Friday afternoon,</strong> we have the opportunity to connect and collaborate with like-minded people, have an adventure, or simply do something that gets us excited about the future.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (February 10th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><i>Sagittarius</i> until 9:21pm EST (see Thursday morning for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 11:38am EST,</strong> we enter an approximately 10-hour <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>; it lasts until<strong> 9:21pm EST</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self — explore, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 6:20pm EST,</strong> <i>Venus changes signs from freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> to creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, where she will journey <strong>until March 6th</strong>.  <strong>For the next four weeks</strong>, we have a chance to connect with other people from our compassionate heart. We may also idealize our relationships a little — we’re feeling quite romantic, and hopeful that our dreams will be fulfilled.\r\n\r\nWith Venus in Pisces, our love is very accepting -- it comes as close to \"unconditional\" as humans can get. One way this shows up: We root for the underdog. We prefer feeling things out, to planning.\r\n\r\nAs you can imagine, we may spend our money on things that don’t make “sense” -- but if we heed intuition and allow for money to flow freely, we may discover that the Universe is always taking care of us ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? If so, beauty and love will enhance your life for the next three-and-a-half weeks. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? You may feel a strong need for romance or unconditional love -- or dream of the ideal relationship. Your finances and values may undergo the spiritual process of releasing control and trusting more to intuition and the flow of life.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday evening</strong>, <em>a challenging Sun/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 6:21pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday evening (Feb. 13th).</strong> This aspect says “stretch and grow!”. There is a feeling of enthusiasm and excitement in the air; it almost seems as if we could move mountains.\r\n\r\nAwareness is key: Be alert for undue optimism, that could lead to overextending or over-promising: As best as you can, stay connected to what\'s real — avoid exaggerations, especially when it comes to your \"feeling body\".\r\n\r\nThis is a time for collaboration and for coming together — provided we don\'t let ourselves get too overwhelmed by those historically-based emotional demons. As best as you can, take it one moment at a time, staying grounded in your vision for life.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-25 degrees of</i><b><i> Aquarius, Scorpio, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 9:21 pm EST,</strong> <i>t</i><i>he Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until next week Tuesday late morning (Feb. 13th)</strong><b>. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (February 11th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><strong>all day (see Saturday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning:</strong> we experience a sense of maturity, and of commitment towards ourselves and our long-term goals; for long-term success, focus on long-term projects that require a realistic approach or a solid commitment.\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (Feb. 12th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><strong>all day (see Saturday late evening for details).</strong> <em>Moon in <strong>Capricorn</strong> sextiles Neptune in <strong>Pisces</strong> at 12:08am EST.

Make sure though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, otherwise you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<b><strong>Monday late</strong> morning</b>, we are in a state of “flow” and emotional connection to others; spiritual and creative endeavors are favored. <i></i>\r\n\r\n<b><strong>Monday early afternoon </strong></b>requires some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice, one that demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to connect to like-minded people that share our vision — and on the other hand, the need to nurture ourselves and stay in touch with our feeling body.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late evening</strong>, we may take an all-or-northing attitude toward others; this could drive some tension or oppositional behaviors... As best you can, remain flexible and practice self-care — take good care of your emotional and physical body -- that way, you\'ll remain able to empower yourself and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (January 30th): </strong><em>the Moon remains in <i>protective, nurturing </i><strong>Cancer</strong></em><strong><em> </em>until 1:53pm EST (</strong>see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 11:40am EST, </strong>we enter a <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 2 hours, <strong>until 1:53pm EST.</strong> </span>Use this intuitive time to find balance between nurturing and self-care, versus achieving your goals. As always during VoC, take it easy -- go with the flow and avoid starting anything brand-new.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan late morning and early afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 1:53pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Thursday afternoon</strong><b>. </b>We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the Lunar Eclipse</i> -- a very powerful Full Moon (exact on Wednesday morning).\r\n\r\nWe all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-) So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can.\r\n\r\nFun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (January 31st): </strong><i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><strong>all day </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday morning, at 8:27am EST: </b><i>the Moon opposes the Sun</i> <i>in 11.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo</i></b> -- <em>a very powerful Full Moon/Lunar Eclipse</em> becomes exact. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered <em>Leo</em> Tuesday at 1:53pm EST. </strong>\r\n\r\nOnce every six months, the Sun, Moon, and Earth finally align precisely enough for a Solar or Lunar Eclipse to occur; Eclipses are always powerfully connected to the Moon Nodes and thus to our Soul\'s Journey. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/powerful-full-supermoon-lunar-eclipse-in-leo-jan-feb-2018/\">If you’d like to learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video</a>.\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon is <i>the first of two Eclipses within the next four weeks and it\'s extra-powerful -- firstly</i><i>, because it\'s</i> a <i>SuperMoon -- </i>these occur when the Moon is either Full or New, while at its closest distance to the Earth; they are therefore more powerful. This often means an increase in emotional reactions, plus greater awareness around the issues connected to the particular Full Moon energy in question.\r\n\r\nSecondly, as the second Full Moon of this calendar month, it is also a \"<i>Blue Moon\" -- so </i>I think we can go ahead and call it a SuperBlue Moon :-)\r\n\r\nGiven that our SuperBlue Full Moon is happening in the <b>Leo</b>/<b>Aquarius</b> polarity, there\'s extra emphasis on increasing awareness of our mind\'s activities, and on opening our heart chakras. As we do this, we can open more to joy, and be more playful.\r\n\r\nLunar Eclipses generally direct our attention to our \"emotional body” and our relationships; they also connect us more fully to our Soul’s journey (as shown by the Moon Nodes). This particular Eclipse focuses on the relationship between the individual (<b>Leo</b>) and the collective (<b>Aquarius</b>).\r\n\r\nWe become aware of what has been suppressed or ignored -- or, this being a North Node Eclipse, what needs to be embraced, integrated and explored -- in regards to the <b>Leo</b> energy.\r\n\r\nIt\'s been 19 years since we experienced a Lunar Eclipse in this degree... Think back to Jan. 31st, 1999: What did I need to open my heart to back then? What became more clear at that time, in regards to exploring joy? Was I able to get in touch with my inner child?\r\n\r\nThis is the third Lunar Eclipse in a 23-month cycle of Eclipses, all connected to the <b>Leo/Aquarius</b> polarity; the cycle in question began in February 2017 with a Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b> and will last until Jan. 2019, ending with yet another Lunar Eclipse in <b>Leo</b>.\r\n\r\nThink back to February of last year: What started shifting for me, in my attitudes towards the collective (or \"humanity\")? How about like-minded people? Was there likewise a shift in my desire for more joy? Self-expression? Heartfelt actions? If I think back to the last Solar Eclipse in Leo from August 21st, 2017, what has brought the possibility for more joy into my life?\r\n\r\nLife-changing revelations are more likely over the next two weeks — and with them, shifts in our consciousness — and the impact of an Eclipse\'s energy also lasts longer than a regular Lunation (anywhere from 6 months to 2 years!)\r\n\r\nI will talk about the upcoming Eclipses in more detail in my next Forecasting Forum — if you want to know how the Eclipses are going to impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up, to our own birth charts. The Forum will be live on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time); <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">for more info or to register, click here</a>\r\n\r\nThis particular Eclipse focuses on authentic self-expression and creativity. Ask yourself: What might open up if I expressed myself with my heart as my center? With more courage? If I were too much in my head, what would tip me off to that? What might my world look like, if I allowed my light to shine just a little brighter?\r\n\r\nWe are also invited to allow head and heart to merge, bringing about a brighter future for humankind -- what would it look like if I allowed that merger? What if I chose, right here and now, to contribute to humanity from a courageous, heart-centered and authentic place? What if I simply chose that, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>Leo</b> represents our individual expression, the kind of light we came to shine, joy we came to spread. <b>Leo</b> is the sign of individual creativity; <b>Aquarius</b> represents the power of collaboration, where the whole becomes greater than the sum of its parts. <b>Aquarius</b>, connects us to the complex patterns formed by many coming together<i>.</i>\r\n\r\nThis means it\'s important to be especially aware and responsible when connecting with others. As best as you can, get present and ask yourself: What am I bringing forth? What are my intentions? What is in my heart that longs to be expressed? Do I have the courage to stand in my authentic self-expression?\r\n\r\nIf we want to see a greater shift in the world at large (an Aquarian concern), we must each do our own part and express our unique gifts (Leo’s imperative). That said, if we don\'t come from the heart -- or if we get stuck over-thinking things and/or being overly concerned with what other people are thinking -- we will not be able to fulfill on that vision.\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> makes a Quincunx to Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>. </i>This might bring some internal discomfort; we need to make inner adjustments here. It nudges us to tune into our intuition, and create from a place of love rather than fear.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What if it were possible to get really in tune with my intuitive feeling body <i>and</i> express myself fully, with courage and without compromise? Might an introverted approach like that serve my extroverted, unique expression of Self? How can I transform lower vibrational feelings? For example, how might I transform fear into love? What approach might support such a transformation?\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun (ruler of Leo) in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> conjoins the South Node and Venus in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>. </i>This reminds us that each one of us has an electromagnetic field, and are an integral part of a much larger field, where our thoughts, growth, and actions interweave and affect the course of humanity. Together, we are exponentially more powerful.\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) is currently in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>. It\'s making a Square to Pluto and Mercury in </i><b><i>Capricorn.</i></b><i> </i>We are invited to be more honest with ourselves and others (especially about our fears and desires), and to pay attention to our thinking patterns, especially in regards to achieving things out there in the world.\r\n\r\nIn fact, you could say we are being invited to bring an innovative approach to who we are \"out there in the world\" -- and to our interactions with others… In other words: To step it up -- and walk our unique path. To inspire others. Life is too short to waste on things we are less than fully passionate about, that don\'t fully express our uniqueness.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What is being radically transformed in my life? Where am I being invited to confront outdated thought-forms? What\'s the relationship between my inner teenager and my inner adult?\r\n\r\nPluto represents the courage it takes to face our shadows and fears -- and if we can do that, we can discover our true motivations, desires -- and our true power. What do I get obsessed about? What scares me the most, when it comes to fully committing to things I feel passionate about?\r\n\r\nTake a look back at situations that felt disempowering -- and at situations that evoked some sort of helpless fury. When in the past have I given my power away to others, especially authority figures? Was it really about me? What did I choose in that moment?\r\n\r\n<i>Saturn (the traditional ruler of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>) currently in its own sign. </i>Here is a quote that fits really beautifully with this energy: <i>\"The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own. No apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on, or blame. The gift of life is yours—it’s an amazing journey, and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. Your journey is determined by the choices you make. Your answers are determined by the questions you ask. Your destination is determined by the steps you take. Your future is determined by what you do today.\"</i> -- Dan Zadra\r\n\r\nWe are also encouraged during this Full Moon to acknowledge that we are all in this together, and that each one of us has the ability to effect change by tapping into our courage, and living our vision in every moment -- and this takes dropping into our hearts more fully.\r\n\r\nFor this <i>Full SuperBlue Moon/Lunar Eclipse</i> you could ask yourself these questions too: How might I learn about self-love? What if I chose to love the world as if it was a reflection of my heart and soul? What if I did that while expressing my unique soul-self, my unique spirit? Where do the inner and the outer experiences of love and connectedness meet?\r\n\r\nFlexibility, thinking outside the box, and self-care are critical during Eclipse season! Self-care is particularly important in times of stress and/or change — basic things, like making sure that we eat healthily and regularly, drink plenty of water, exercise, get plentiful rest -- and allow affection in from friends, family, or pets. Connecting to what feels supportive in order to stay grounded and regenerate ourselves can be very helpful as well.\r\n\r\nThere are so many more aspects we could talk about with this Lunar Eclipse chart, I\'d need an hour-and-a-half to cover it all — and that\'s just what I\'ll be doing during the 90-minute Monthly Forecasting Forum on <b>Saturday, Feb. 3rd at 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time)<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">click here to register</a> :-)\r\n\r\nThis <i>Lunar Eclipse</i> shows us that there is always work to be done -- and there\'s no need to get overwhelmed by that, because we all have the power to do it. All we have to do is look into our own heart and see the strength and love lying there. Ask yourself: Where could I be the voice? Where could I be or become the visionary? What if I accepted that I am the hero/heroine of my story? What is my role at this pivotal time?\r\n\r\nRemember: No effort is too small, no step too modest... And most important of all, perhaps: it\'s never too late to be the one who makes a difference -- especially when it comes from the heart and feels authentic!\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, trust that you have what it takes to make a difference for yourself and others. <i>And </i><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/powerful-full-supermoon-lunar-eclipse-in-leo-jan-feb-2018/\">if you’d like to learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, click here to watch my Lunar Eclipse video</a>.\r\n\r\nA final note about Eclipses: they\'re consciousness upgrades, so for 7 - 10 days before and after one, we are usually in uncharted territory -- anything is possible and it\'s wise to expect the unexpected. Anything <i>brand-new</i> started during this time will likely not pan out the way we thought it would, often because important information comes to light only after Eclipse season is over.\r\n\r\nFor that reason, try to defer any major brand-new projects until after Feb. 25th, when this particular Eclipse season ends. That said, if something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic, allow it to “be”... Just be wary of the urge to push something forward merely to relieve anxiety or impatience.\r\n\r\nAllow for the upgrade to download, staying centered and doing your best to \"ground\" from within -- try using conscious breathing, and regard flexibility as a tool. Best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body…\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point or personal planets in 6-17 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo, Aquarius, Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s Full Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 8:39am EST,</strong><strong> </strong><i>Mercury </i><i>leaves practical, cautious, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><i>and moves into</i> <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking, objective </i><b><i>Aquarius.</i></b><b><i> </i></b>It will journey there <b>until February 17th.<i> </i></b>For the next three weeks, we tend to contradict others more quickly, and offer a different perspective. We enjoy intellectual debates. We are quicker and more alert; our powers of observation are particularly strong.\r\n\r\nWe have something interesting to say, and our perspective on issues can be delightfully unusual and surprisingly insightful. This makes for some great conversations. We are more attracted to scientific and/or metaphysical pursuits right now. Anything that promises progress and advancement for mankind has special appeal.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel a greater need for focusing on your future and any humanitarian causes. Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will most likely feel more chatty for the next 3 weeks. </i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (February 1st): </strong><i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving</i><strong><em> Leo</em></strong><em> </em><strong>until 2:13pm EST </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 5:59am EST, </strong>we enter a <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 8 hours, <strong>until 2:13pm EST. </strong></span>During this intuitive time, have fun connecting with others and doing things that bring you joy — explore something different, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday morning until early afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 2:13pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into detail-oriented, practical</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <strong>until Saturday late afternoon</strong>; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<b> </b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (Feb. 2nd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong><i> </i><b>all day</b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Thursday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning, </strong>we<strong> </strong>seek a balance between head and heart, facts and faith, reason and intuition. That said, if you can achieve that balance, it’s a great day for being of service.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday early afternoon</strong> calls for some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice. Making this choice demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to engage in humanitarian causes — and on the other hand, the need to  tend to our daily routines.\r\n\r\n<b>Friday late evening</b>, we can potentially accomplish quite a bit: The Moon in <b>Virgo</b> makes a harmonious aspect to Pluto in <b>Capricorn</b>. Virgo and Capricorn are Earth signs, so getting down to business and focusing on the task at hand takes less effort than normal. We are able to tackle anything that requires attention to detail and maybe even implement health routines or other systems that support our long-term goals.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (February 3rd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><em> </em><strong>until 4:47pm EST </strong>(see Thursday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 2:07am EST, </strong>we enter a <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 14.5 hours, <strong>until 4:47pm EST. </strong></span>Use this intuitive time to get organized, improve daily routines, and to develop more awareness of how that all fits in with expanding intimate connections with others.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday very early morning until the late afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday late morning, </strong><em>an opportune Mercury/Mars aspect </em>becomes exact at 10:57am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Friday morning on; it will remain strong until Sunday evening. </strong>This aspect provides an opportunity to connect thought to action. Body and mind can align; words and deeds connect with ease. As with any opportunity, we have to \"take\" this one: it will not happen by itself.\r\n\r\nWhat actions are calling to you today? How might those actions be connected to other like-minded people... or a vision you have for humanity\'s future?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <em>3-7 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 4:47pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>, where it will journey<b> <strong>until Monday late afternoon.</strong> </b>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (February 4th): </strong><em>t</em><em>he Moon remains in </em><em><i>relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking</i></em><strong><em><i> </i>Libra</em></strong><em> </em><strong>all day </strong>(see Saturday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning, </strong><em>a challenging Venus/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 1:07am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect from Thursday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (Feb 6th). </strong>This aspect asks that we question our most fundamental beliefs and conditioning around the visions we value (and the people that share those visions) and how we view our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\nWe have the opportunity here to grow beyond our understanding of what our values get us. Issues connected to love, relationships, and whatever is most valuable to us, can seem overwhelming at this time. This is because we have a tendency to overindulge or over-promise.\r\n\r\nWe mean well, because we are feeling quite optimistic at this time -- but we may underestimate how much time we actually have, or how good a fit something actually is. Overspending could be connected to this aspect as well (as could making assumptions in our relationships); as best as you can, bring a non-judgmental awareness to any such tendencies.\r\n\r\nWhat are you observing about yourself and your relationships with others? What is enough... and what is too much?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>18-25 degrees</em></i><i> of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (Feb. 5th): </strong><em>t</em><em>h</em><em>e </em><em>Moon remains in </em><em><i>relationship-oriented</i></em><strong><em><i>, </i></em></strong><em><i>harmony-seeking</i></em><em> <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong><em> </em>until 10:56pm EST (see Saturday late afternoon for details). At 1:46pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 9 hours, <strong>until 10:56pm EST</strong>.  You may want to plan Monday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>At</strong> <strong>10:56pm EST</strong>, the Moon moves into <strong>Scorpio</strong>, where it will journey <strong>until next week Thursday morning </strong>(Feb. 8th). This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the last Quarter Moon (which, will be exact next week Wednesday -- Feb. 7th). More about all the details in next week’s forecast ;-)<b> </b>\r\n<h3><b>One Last Announcement:</b></h3>\r\nJoin me for my next FORECASTING FORUM, <b>Saturday</b>, <b>Feb</b>.<b> 3rd, 2018 at </b>11am<b> </b>PST/<b> 2pm EST</b>/7pm GMT (London-time).<b> Please note </b>that we will be talking about the upcoming<b> Eclipses: Lunar Eclipse/SuperMoon in Leo </b>and<b> Solar Eclipse in Aquarius.</b>\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how to align yourself with these potent energies coming our way, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\"><b>To register now, click here</b></a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Here is a testimonial from one of our participants right after joining our most recent Forum:</strong>\r\n<blockquote><i>\"Sonja\'s Forecasting Forums make Astrology accessible for anyone.

Mercury\'s station ends on Wednesday.\r\n\r\nThere will also be four <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Monday until 7:27pm EST, Wednesday late afternoon (for almost 9.5 hours), Friday morning (for 18.5 hours), and Sunday evening (for a little over 8.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<b>Monday (December 25th): </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> </i>and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">VoC</a> <b>until 7:27pm EST</b>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.<b> </b>\r\n\r\n<b>Monday very early morning, at 12:26am EST, </b><i>Venus changes signs from optimistic, adventurous </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> to realistic, prestige-and-accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i><i> </i>Venus will be traveling through Capricorn <b>until Jan. 18th, 2018.</b><b> </b>With this placement, our relationships tend to be more practical in nature: We see people for who they are and are not afraid to lay the facts on the table; we take things more seriously.\r\n\r\nWe take our time warming up to others, appreciate maturity in relationships, and can make long-term commitments. There is a strong focus on business relationships. Venus is also connected to finances and the things we value; it’s therefore a perfect time to get serious and make long-term plans in these areas: As best as you can, get real about what comes in and what goes out ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel more serious and focused for the next 4 weeks; your heart will want to make practical, attainable long-term plans. If you are a</i> <b><i>Capricorn</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign, for as long as Venus is in your sign, you will attract more love, abundance and beauty into your life.</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Monday early afternoon, </b><i>a Venus/Saturn alignment in 0.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> </i>becomes exact at 12:55pm EST.<b> We started to feel this aspect from last Friday on; it will remain strong until this Thursday.</b> This alignment brings a sense of maturity and commitment to our relationships and the things we most value. Relationships feel stable and steady, although feelings are expressed reservedly, formally, or sparingly.\r\n\r\nWe experience a new sense of realism in existing partnerships. A sense of duty may lead us to sacrifice a personal pleasure to a \"cause\" or long-term goal.\r\n\r\nWe are ready to face any problems in personal relationships that have been swept under the carpet -- and they will likely surface. Renewed ties to old friends, business partners or lovers are possible, as is a new sense of responsibility in existing relationships. This is not the best time to start a brand-new relationship.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in the following: 27-29 degrees of of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, Pisces, </i></b><i>or 0-4 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Aries or Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this aspect more strongly than otherwise. </i><i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra or Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)</i><i> </i>\r\n\r\n<b>Monday at 7:27pm EST</b>, <i>the Moon enters pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><b><i>,</i></b> where it will journey <b>until Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning.</b> The energy of the Aries Moon bears on starting something new.\r\n\r\nOur gut impulses are strong; we feel energetic, spontaneous, enthusiastic and brave -- and perhaps impatient and impulsive. Excess energy is best channeled into physical activity. This Moon placement starts the build up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Tuesday early morning).\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday (Dec. 26th)</b>: <i>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries </i>all day </b>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday early morning, at 4:20am EST, </b><i>the first Quarter Moon in almost 16 degrees of Aries </i>becomes exact. <b>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Aries Monday evening. </b>The Moon in pioneering, enthusiastic, fast-paced <b>Aries</b> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun practical, cautious, accomplishment-oriented <b>Capricorn.</b>\r\n\r\nWe feel compelled to take action. Last week on Dec. 18th, the New Moon in Sagittarius was exact: \"Seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making their first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day interactions with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in </i><i>3-7 degrees</i><i> of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Also on Tuesday, </b><i>the Uranus station intensifies </i><b>until Jan. 8th</b><i>.</i><i> </i>It will come to a halt on Jan. 2nd (next week Tuesday) after its 5-month retrograde phase. When an outer planet stations, its energy gets more pronounced -- we become more aware of its impact on us -- and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around Jan.5th).\r\n\r\nUranus is all about breaking away from traditional structures, moving towards a new future, a future that serves others as well as ourselves. Keyword: Freedom. We might have flashes of insight or new ideas about what needs to change in our lives. Definitely expect the unexpected.\r\n\r\nUranus also rules electronics, technology and the internet, so don\'t be surprised if you experience some interruptions or short-term failures in these areas. Group activities are also ruled by Uranus, so these will also be more at the forefront of our awareness. As best as you can, stay open and flexible, go with the flow -- and pay attention to those messages from the Universe ;-)\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take a closer look at whatever is \"in your face\" <b>for the next 2 weeks.</b> Our intuitions will be very strong during this time and we have access to sudden insights and ideas. This gives us the opportunity to take a look to see how free we actually feel.\r\n\r\nAre we expressing our individuality to the fullest? Are we connecting to a larger vision? Is anything holding us back? What did you discover about visions and freedoms these past 5 months?\r\n\r\n<i>Is your Sun-sign or Ascendant in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>? Or do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 22-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this station.</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday (Dec. 27th)</b>: <i>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> </i><b>all day</b> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday at 3:57pm EST, </b>we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 9.5 hours, <b>until 1:23am EST (Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning)</b>. Use this intuitive time to connect to people that can enthusiastically support your projects and share with them what you have going on.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday late afternoon, evening and night ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Also on Wednesday,</b> <i>Mercury resumes its normal pace through the sky, ending its station.</i> Communication and transportation is now back to “normal”, as are any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc.\r\n\r\nNew ideas and information received during the Mercury retrograde phase (Dec. 3rd - 22nd) can now be reviewed. What did you discover about your inner dialogue -- especially when it comes to your perspective and attitudes about life — during that time?\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday (Dec. 28th): </b><i>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> </i>and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">VoC</a> <b>until 1:23am EST</b> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday very early morning, </b><i>a harmonious Mars/Neptune aspect</i> becomes exact at 12:59am EST. <b>We started to feel this aspect from last Friday night (Dec. 22nd) on; it will remain strong until next week Monday evening (Jan. 1st, 2018). </b>This aspect brings the ability to endow what we feel passionate about with our creativity -- and connect it to a higher love.\r\n\r\nOur animalistic nature is able to connect to compassion and understanding. We can now bring light to all of our inner dark places; through loving ourselves, we can transform that darkness into the gift of feeling powerfully connected to ourselves.\r\n\r\nAs this aspect is taking place in Scorpio and Pisces, we are connecting to our goals and dreams from an emotional place that is deeply spiritual and transformational. We are able to let go of our fears and attachments and are able to have faith that everything will turn out just as it needs to.\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in </i><i>8-15 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i> will be touched in a particularly beautiful way by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Neptune rules Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday at 1:23am EST</b>, <i>the Moon moves</i><b> </b><i>into steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where it will be <b>until Saturday very early morning.</b> We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well. In other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)<b> </b>\r\n\r\n<b>Friday (Dec. 29th): </b><i>the</i> <i>Moon remains</i> <i>in steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <b>all day</b> (see Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Friday at 9:01am EST, </b>we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for 18.5 hours, <b>until 3:31am EST (Saturday very early morning)</b>. Use this intuitive time to empower each other in regards to earthly issues and mutually support each other in practical ways. As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday all day and night ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday (Dec. 30th):</b> <i>the</i> <i>Moon remains</i> <i>in steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> </i>and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">VoC</a> <b>until 3:31am EST</b> (see Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday at 3:31am EST</b>, <i>the Moon moves into chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <b>until Monday very early morning (Jan. 1st, 2018).</b> For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way... The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday (Dec. 31st): </b><i>the</i> <i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> </i><b>all day</b> (see Saturday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday at 6:38pm EST, </b>we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 8.5 hours, <b>until 3:10am EST (Monday very early morning)</b>.

With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, otherwise you might start to feel drained and resentful.<i> </i>This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the Full Moon (exact on Monday evening). <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/full-moon/\">Click here to watch my Full Moon video</a> (will be posted by Dec. 27th)\r\n\r\n<b>A head\'s up for next</b> <b>Monday (Jan. 1st): </b><i>the</i> <i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> </i>and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">VoC</a><b> until 3:10am EST</b> (see Saturday very early morning for details). <b>At that time, </b><i>the Moon moves into </i><i>protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><b>, where it will journey until Tuesday late evening.

Take a breath. Relax. Find your peace. Don\'t require the Universe to move more rapidly than it is. It is actually working perfectly, and it will prove that to you if you will give it a chance. Really. Trust me on this.” — Neale Donald Walsh</span>\r\n<h3>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement:</h3>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are getting closer to the launch of my new online community!</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> Right now we are aiming for Jan.16th or 17th -- keep your fingers crossed for me ;-) I\'m super-excited, and at the same time, I also sometimes stress out about the scope of this amazing new beginning for myself and everyone out there who will join us. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">But as my spiritual coach likes to remind me, \"Life is an ongoing experiment\" and \"True professionalism is about being able to be flexible and kind about unforeseen situations that come up, allowing ourselves to learn from them and finding out how to make creative adjustments.\"</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>This week\'s headline item<span style=\"color: #000000;\">s</span></b>: the New Moon in Capricorn becomes exact on Tuesday; Venus changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius on Wednesday, and the Sun will do the same on Friday. Last but not least, Eclipse season begins on Sunday and runs until Feb. 25th.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>There will also be three <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week</strong>: Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning (for 2 hours), Friday morning (for a little over 8.5 hours), and Sunday evening (for a little over 5 hours).</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday (January 15th): </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day.</b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> It will journey there <b>until Wednesday very early morning. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, be truthful with yourself about where you are at: Do you actually have a realistic view about what is so, right now, in your life? Not what you wish it to be or what you would like it to be or where you see yourself going.... What is so right now? Once you know where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\", whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday very early morning, </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">becomes exact at 1:59am EST.</span><b> We started to feel this aspect from Friday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday morning. </b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Until Friday, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">23-27 degrees</span> of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday late evening: </b><i>an opportune long-term Jupiter/Pluto aspect </i>that we <b>started to feel back on Tuesday Jan. 3rd becomes exact at 11:13pm EST; it will remain strong until Wednesday, Jan. 31st </b>and brings with it an opportunity to deepen our relationships, business and personal alike. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">A positive attitude and deeper trust in our connections with others gives us the chance to build something meaningful and share our passions with them. We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support professional or personal goals. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: Where could I really dig in to solve a problem? How might passion help deliver on my long-term goals? How could other people\'s resources support my ability to create transformation? How might they help me stand in my power?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><b><i> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">17-21 degrees</span> </i></b><i>of</i><b><i> Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces </i></b><i>or <strong>Virgo</strong></i><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces). </i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday (Jan. 16th): </b><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>t</em><b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">he Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</span></i></b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day </b></span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">(see Monday for details).</span> </span></span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday evening, at 9:17pm ES</b>T<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,</span><em> the Moon aligns with the Sun in almost 27 degrees of Capricorn, </em>launching </span><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">a new Moon cycle.</span> </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is a good time to go within, to seed anything we would like to accomplish for the next 28 days, and maybe even beyond. The next section of this forecast will dig in to this in more detail; you may also want to watch my New Moon video :-) </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is the first New Moon of the year and since <strong>Capricorn</strong> represents the quest for mastery on the physical plane, some useful questions you can ask yourself include: </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">What is my relationship to the physical? Do I respect the laws of matter? Am I going about things in a realistic way? How committed am I really? Where does my inner compass point? What am I willing to undergo to overcome adversity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The highest vibration of <strong>Capricorn</strong> is the development of responsibility, resourcefulness, reliability, self-mastery, the ability to set realistic goals and healthy boundaries. The next 28 days are a perfect time to work on these areas. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, prepare for the future, make commitments and recognize responsibilities -- in other words, nurture your dreams in a realistic manner. Focus on setting and achieving practical and attainable long-term goals, one step at a time, one day at a time -- this is not about immediate results, it\'s about the quality of the foundation you are building.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> also invites us to set the kind of realistic limits and boundaries that allow everyone involved to learn from the consequences of their choices. Where in my life am I able to set realistic limits and boundaries? Where is that an obstacle in your life? What am I afraid of in those moments? What would be the worst of that?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> relates directly to the level of our maturity: We start out on a more instinctual, survival level; this stage is basically fear-based, with a scarcity mentality. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Once we get better at living on the earth plane -- and we understand the rules better -- we transition to goal-oriented ambition and self-challenge, seeking recognition and rewards. This phase is still sometimes fear-based, but already we are taking more responsibility for our part in achieving things, and we are manifesting on the physical plane. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Eventually, as we grow spiritually and learn more about the laws of matter, earthly ambitions are often replaced by some form of spiritual service. We recognize that personal gain is not the only (or even the highest) goal, we see that when we contribute to others, we are also giving to ourselves -- perhaps we also surpass the physical appearance of separation and connect to life in it\'s highest form.</span> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">At this level, we are living in pure accordance with our conscience, from a place of maturity and inner guidance.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: What if I developed 5% more discipline? Integrity? What about 5% more commitment towards something that aligns both with myself and with life itself? What would 100% responsibility for my life look like? What if I responded to situations in a way that respects and serves all those involved? </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">  </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> <em>This New Moon aligns with Venus and Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong> and squares Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>.</em> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">First let\'s focus on the alignment with Venus and Pluto: This conveys an extra-potent message about our perception of physical reality -- time and space -- and about our relationship to love, our values, power or feeling empowered. Ask yourself: If I truly had choice in the matter, what kind of future would I choose to step into? Who would I choose to connect with? Why? Who would I not choose to connect with? Why not?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Venus in conjunction with the New Moon</em> advises us to choose wisely and from the heart. Ask yourself: Am I true to myself? Am I working too hard without making enough progress? Am I expressing my feelings truthfully? Or hiding my true feelings from others? Am I in touch with what\'s important to me -- especially in regards to relationships? Am I happy? Could I love and respect myself and life 5% more?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">With this many planets in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, it is important for us to take breaks — or simply slow down and allow ourselves to tune in. It’s important to explore ways to stay heart-centered and grounded -- seek tools or people to help you with that exploration. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Now let\'s talk about <em>the square to Uranus</em> -- the energy of freedom, innovation and reform. This combo focuses our attention on the right use of power -- which respects the rights, needs, and gifts of all beings. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: Where do I need to be more courageous? Where do I need to \"think different\"? What if I became 5% more aware of my personal power? Where might I have given it away to others? And how might I begin to reclaim it? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Remember that change is not always progress. Consider all options first and then respond, rather than reacting; stay flexible and be willing to entertain new possibilities. What if -- in small or large ways -- I could help birth a new age, and with it a new world, one based on heart-centered consciousness and individual freedoms?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>The New Moon also sextiles Mars in <strong>Scorpio</strong> and Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong></em>. This is an opportunity to heal our collective wounds around any sense of spiritual disconnection in our world of accomplishments. We get a chance to connect more deeply with others and bring a powerful approach to what we are building and working towards. Our actions tend to be in greater alignment with our deepest desires.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: What if I could be both productive <em>and</em> gentle with myself at the same time? What would a compassionate approach make possible? What is pushing or pulling at me? How could my actions become a source of empowerment? What if I allowed all actions to flow from a deep sense of authentic connectedness? What if I forgave myself and others for having flaws or limitations?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Given that it rules <strong>Capricorn</strong>, <em>Saturn\'s placement in its own sign</em> plays an important role with this New Moon -- and if you\'d like to know how Saturn\'s journey in <strong>Capricorn</strong> will impact you personally over the next three years, feel free to check out my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, available for purchase <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-recorded-webinars/\">on my website</a> (or check out a<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/5067/\"> 30-minute excerpt for free :-)</a></span>\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Saturn conjuncts Mercury while in <strong>Capricorn</strong></em>. This reminds us of the power of our mind -- that our thoughts and words matter. What am I doing, career-wise? What is the long-term plan? How can I honor and share those goals with others in a clear and honest way? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">It\'s time to think seriously about what no longer works. As best as you can, investigate your thought processes: What no longer feels useful in my approach? What if I got real about that? What might be possible if I took 5% more responsibility for my inner dialog, and the energy those thoughts disperse?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>To sum all of this up:</strong> We are invited to become mature, responsible planetary citizens, while honoring our individuality -- in other words, making a difference, one by one -- even when it seems as though we are too little to create a big shift on our own. No matter how small an action may seem, every pebble makes a ripple...</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This cosmic combo also directs our attention to our bottom lines. What matters most to me? What are my priorities? Am I living my truth, and thus loving my goals? Where is it best to be flexible, and where must I remain focused and in alignment with my commitments? When have I felt the happiest? What if I committed 5% more to the things, people and places in my life that make me happy? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Inner strength and self-reliance come almost entirely from adversity; obstacles are the part of life that show us where we have an opportunity to become more capable and where we have drifted from contact with outer reality or inner truth. Am I on the right track, as best as I can tell? Am I walking my own path? Or someone else\'s? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">What obstacles can I see or sense from here? What if there was value in those obstacles? Could I send them gratitude for being given the opportunity to get back into greater alignment with myself and reality?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Choose wisely for 2018 and beyond. Participate consciously in the evolution of existence on this planet, not from fear, but from knowledge of your inner strength and personal power -- the power of your heart and your humanity! Trust your inner truth!</span>\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are also about to enter Eclipse season, as the first of two Eclipses becomes exact on Jan. 31st; I\'ll be talking more about this in my next Monthly Forecasting Forum on Feb. 3rd.

Are we driven by personal resistance and rebellion, or motivated to positively impact humanity?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Once we get clear about our deepest motivations, we will discover new ways to move forward and embrace our uniqueness in a healthy way, while demonstrating our strength and power more authentically, from a place of love and abundance, rather than fear and limitation. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">How might you get in touch with your inner genius? What if you shared it from a true desire to empower others?  What \"old\" behaviors can now be released? What might a deep, passionate connection to your vision of a future self look like?

If something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic… allow it to be.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Another Eclipse-related phenomenon: not only do Eclipses bring up uncertainty in us, they might also leave us nervous, anxious, unsettled and disoriented.

Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, be truthful with yourself about where you are at: Do you actually have a realistic view about what is so, right now, in your life? Not what you wish it to be or what you would like it to be or where you see yourself going.... What is so right now? Once you know where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\", whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday very early morning, </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">becomes exact at 1:59am EST.</span><b> We started to feel this aspect from Friday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday morning. </b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others.

How committed am I really? Where does my inner compass point? What am I willing to undergo to overcome adversity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The highest vibration of <strong>Capricorn</strong> is the development of responsibility, resourcefulness, reliability, self-mastery, the ability to set realistic goals and healthy boundaries. The next 28 days are a perfect time to work on these areas. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, prepare for the future, make commitments and recognize responsibilities -- in other words, nurture your dreams in a realistic manner. Focus on setting and achieving practical and attainable long-term goals, one step at a time, one day at a time -- this is not about immediate results, it\'s about the quality of the foundation you are building.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> also invites us to set the kind of realistic limits and boundaries that allow everyone involved to learn from the consequences of their choices. Where in my life am I able to set realistic limits and boundaries? Where is that an obstacle in your life? What am I afraid of in those moments? What would be the worst of that?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> relates directly to the level of our maturity: We start out on a more instinctual, survival level; this stage is basically fear-based, with a scarcity mentality. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Once we get better at living on the earth plane -- and we understand the rules better -- we transition to goal-oriented ambition and self-challenge, seeking recognition and rewards. This phase is still sometimes fear-based, but already we are taking more responsibility for our part in achieving things, and we are manifesting on the physical plane. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Eventually, as we grow spiritually and learn more about the laws of matter, earthly ambitions are often replaced by some form of spiritual service. We recognize that personal gain is not the only (or even the highest) goal, we see that when we contribute to others, we are also giving to ourselves -- perhaps we also surpass the physical appearance of separation and connect to life in it\'s highest form.</span> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">At this level, we are living in pure accordance with our conscience, from a place of maturity and inner guidance.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: What if I developed 5% more discipline? Integrity? What about 5% more commitment towards something that aligns both with myself and with life itself? What would 100% responsibility for my life look like? What if I responded to situations in a way that respects and serves all those involved? </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">  </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> <em>This New Moon aligns with Venus and Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong> and squares Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>.</em> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">First let\'s focus on the alignment with Venus and Pluto: This conveys an extra-potent message about our perception of physical reality -- time and space -- and about our relationship to love, our values, power or feeling empowered. Ask yourself: If I truly had choice in the matter, what kind of future would I choose to step into? Who would I choose to connect with? Why? Who would I not choose to connect with? Why not?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Venus in conjunction with the New Moon</em> advises us to choose wisely and from the heart. Ask yourself: Am I true to myself? Am I working too hard without making enough progress? Am I expressing my feelings truthfully? Or hiding my true feelings from others? Am I in touch with what\'s important to me -- especially in regards to relationships? Am I happy? Could I love and respect myself and life 5% more?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">With this many planets in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, it is important for us to take breaks — or simply slow down and allow ourselves to tune in. It’s important to explore ways to stay heart-centered and grounded -- seek tools or people to help you with that exploration. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Now let\'s talk about <em>the square to Uranus</em> -- the energy of freedom, innovation and reform. This combo focuses our attention on the right use of power -- which respects the rights, needs, and gifts of all beings. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: Where do I need to be more courageous? Where do I need to \"think different\"? What if I became 5% more aware of my personal power? Where might I have given it away to others? And how might I begin to reclaim it? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Remember that change is not always progress. Consider all options first and then respond, rather than reacting; stay flexible and be willing to entertain new possibilities. What if -- in small or large ways -- I could help birth a new age, and with it a new world, one based on heart-centered consciousness and individual freedoms?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>The New Moon also sextiles Mars in <strong>Scorpio</strong> and Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong></em>. This is an opportunity to heal our collective wounds around any sense of spiritual disconnection in our world of accomplishments. We get a chance to connect more deeply with others and bring a powerful approach to what we are building and working towards. Our actions tend to be in greater alignment with our deepest desires.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: What if I could be both productive <em>and</em> gentle with myself at the same time? What would a compassionate approach make possible? What is pushing or pulling at me? How could my actions become a source of empowerment? What if I allowed all actions to flow from a deep sense of authentic connectedness? What if I forgave myself and others for having flaws or limitations?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Given that it rules <strong>Capricorn</strong>, <em>Saturn\'s placement in its own sign</em> plays an important role with this New Moon -- and if you\'d like to know how Saturn\'s journey in <strong>Capricorn</strong> will impact you personally over the next three years, feel free to check out my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, available for purchase <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-recorded-webinars/\">on my website</a> (or check out a<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/5067/\"> 30-minute excerpt for free :-)</a></span>\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Saturn conjuncts Mercury while in <strong>Capricorn</strong></em>. This reminds us of the power of our mind -- that our thoughts and words matter. What am I doing, career-wise? What is the long-term plan? How can I honor and share those goals with others in a clear and honest way? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">It\'s time to think seriously about what no longer works. As best as you can, investigate your thought processes: What no longer feels useful in my approach? What if I got real about that? What might be possible if I took 5% more responsibility for my inner dialog, and the energy those thoughts disperse?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>To sum all of this up:</strong> We are invited to become mature, responsible planetary citizens, while honoring our individuality -- in other words, making a difference, one by one -- even when it seems as though we are too little to create a big shift on our own. No matter how small an action may seem, every pebble makes a ripple...</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This cosmic combo also directs our attention to our bottom lines. What matters most to me? What are my priorities? Am I living my truth, and thus loving my goals? Where is it best to be flexible, and where must I remain focused and in alignment with my commitments? When have I felt the happiest? What if I committed 5% more to the things, people and places in my life that make me happy? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Inner strength and self-reliance come almost entirely from adversity; obstacles are the part of life that show us where we have an opportunity to become more capable and where we have drifted from contact with outer reality or inner truth. Am I on the right track, as best as I can tell? Am I walking my own path? Or someone else\'s? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">What obstacles can I see or sense from here? What if there was value in those obstacles? Could I send them gratitude for being given the opportunity to get back into greater alignment with myself and reality?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Choose wisely for 2018 and beyond. Participate consciously in the evolution of existence on this planet, not from fear, but from knowledge of your inner strength and personal power -- the power of your heart and your humanity! Trust your inner truth!</span>\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are also about to enter Eclipse season, as the first of two Eclipses becomes exact on Jan. 31st; I\'ll be talking more about this in my next Monthly Forecasting Forum on Feb. 3rd.

If possible, try to defer any major brand-new projects until after Feb. 25th, when this Eclipse season is over. If something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic… allow it to be.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Another Eclipse-related phenomenon: not only do Eclipses bring up uncertainty in us, they might also leave us nervous, anxious, unsettled and disoriented.

Remember: it\'s temporary and we are receiving an upgrade -- that\'s a good thing!</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Just like upgrading a computer, you will get all the information you need, as soon as the upgrade is complete -- so as best you can, be patient.

Take a breath. Relax. Find your peace. Don\'t require the Universe to move more rapidly than it is. It is actually working perfectly, and it will prove that to you if you will give it a chance. Really. Trust me on this.” — Neale Donald Walsh</span>\r\n<h3>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement:</h3>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are getting closer to the launch of my new online community!</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> Right now we are aiming for Jan.16th or 17th -- keep your fingers crossed for me ;-) I\'m super-excited, and at the same time, I also sometimes stress out about the scope of this amazing new beginning for myself and everyone out there who will join us. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">But as my spiritual coach likes to remind me, \"Life is an ongoing experiment\" and \"True professionalism is about being able to be flexible and kind about unforeseen situations that come up, allowing ourselves to learn from them and finding out how to make creative adjustments.\"</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>This week\'s headline item<span style=\"color: #000000;\">s</span></b>: the New Moon in Capricorn becomes exact on Tuesday; Venus changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius on Wednesday, and the Sun will do the same on Friday. Last but not least, Eclipse season begins on Sunday and runs until Feb. 25th.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>There will also be three <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week</strong>: Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning (for 2 hours), Friday morning (for a little over 8.5 hours), and Sunday evening (for a little over 5 hours).</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday (January 15th): </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day.</b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> It will journey there <b>until Wednesday very early morning. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, be truthful with yourself about where you are at: Do you actually have a realistic view about what is so, right now, in your life? Not what you wish it to be or what you would like it to be or where you see yourself going.... What is so right now? Once you know where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\", whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday very early morning, </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">becomes exact at 1:59am EST.</span><b> We started to feel this aspect from Friday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday morning. </b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Until Friday, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">23-27 degrees</span> of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday late evening: </b><i>an opportune long-term Jupiter/Pluto aspect </i>that we <b>started to feel back on Tuesday Jan. 3rd becomes exact at 11:13pm EST; it will remain strong until Wednesday, Jan. 31st </b>and brings with it an opportunity to deepen our relationships, business and personal alike. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">A positive attitude and deeper trust in our connections with others gives us the chance to build something meaningful and share our passions with them. We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support professional or personal goals. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: Where could I really dig in to solve a problem? How might passion help deliver on my long-term goals? How could other people\'s resources support my ability to create transformation? How might they help me stand in my power?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><b><i> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">17-21 degrees</span> </i></b><i>of</i><b><i> Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces </i></b><i>or <strong>Virgo</strong></i><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces). </i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday (Jan. 16th): </b><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>t</em><b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">he Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</span></i></b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day </b></span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">(see Monday for details).</span> </span></span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday evening, at 9:17pm ES</b>T<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,</span><em> the Moon aligns with the Sun in almost 27 degrees of Capricorn, </em>launching </span><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">a new Moon cycle.</span> </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is a good time to go within, to seed anything we would like to accomplish for the next 28 days, and maybe even beyond. The next section of this forecast will dig in to this in more detail; you may also want to watch my New Moon video :-) </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is the first New Moon of the year and since <strong>Capricorn</strong> represents the quest for mastery on the physical plane, some useful questions you can ask yourself include: </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">What is my relationship to the physical? Do I respect the laws of matter? Am I going about things in a realistic way? How committed am I really? Where does my inner compass point? What am I willing to undergo to overcome adversity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The highest vibration of <strong>Capricorn</strong> is the development of responsibility, resourcefulness, reliability, self-mastery, the ability to set realistic goals and healthy boundaries. The next 28 days are a perfect time to work on these areas. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, prepare for the future, make commitments and recognize responsibilities -- in other words, nurture your dreams in a realistic manner. Focus on setting and achieving practical and attainable long-term goals, one step at a time, one day at a time -- this is not about immediate results, it\'s about the quality of the foundation you are building.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> also invites us to set the kind of realistic limits and boundaries that allow everyone involved to learn from the consequences of their choices. Where in my life am I able to set realistic limits and boundaries? Where is that an obstacle in your life? What am I afraid of in those moments? What would be the worst of that?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> relates directly to the level of our maturity: We start out on a more instinctual, survival level; this stage is basically fear-based, with a scarcity mentality. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Once we get better at living on the earth plane -- and we understand the rules better -- we transition to goal-oriented ambition and self-challenge, seeking recognition and rewards. This phase is still sometimes fear-based, but already we are taking more responsibility for our part in achieving things, and we are manifesting on the physical plane. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Eventually, as we grow spiritually and learn more about the laws of matter, earthly ambitions are often replaced by some form of spiritual service. We recognize that personal gain is not the only (or even the highest) goal, we see that when we contribute to others, we are also giving to ourselves -- perhaps we also surpass the physical appearance of separation and connect to life in it\'s highest form.</span> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">At this level, we are living in pure accordance with our conscience, from a place of maturity and inner guidance.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: What if I developed 5% more discipline? Integrity? What about 5% more commitment towards something that aligns both with myself and with life itself? What would 100% responsibility for my life look like? What if I responded to situations in a way that respects and serves all those involved? </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">  </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> <em>This New Moon aligns with Venus and Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong> and squares Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>.</em> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">First let\'s focus on the alignment with Venus and Pluto: This conveys an extra-potent message about our perception of physical reality -- time and space -- and about our relationship to love, our values, power or feeling empowered. Ask yourself: If I truly had choice in the matter, what kind of future would I choose to step into? Who would I choose to connect with? Why? Who would I not choose to connect with? Why not?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Venus in conjunction with the New Moon</em> advises us to choose wisely and from the heart. Ask yourself: Am I true to myself? Am I working too hard without making enough progress? Am I expressing my feelings truthfully? Or hiding my true feelings from others? Am I in touch with what\'s important to me -- especially in regards to relationships? Am I happy? Could I love and respect myself and life 5% more?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">With this many planets in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, it is important for us to take breaks — or simply slow down and allow ourselves to tune in. It’s important to explore ways to stay heart-centered and grounded -- seek tools or people to help you with that exploration. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Now let\'s talk about <em>the square to Uranus</em> -- the energy of freedom, innovation and reform. This combo focuses our attention on the right use of power, which respects the rights, needs, and gifts of all beings. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Ask yourself: Where do I need to be more courageous? Where do I need to \"think different\"? What if I became 5% more aware of my personal power? Where might I have given it away to others? And how might I begin to reclaim it? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Remember that change is not always progress; consider all options first and then respond, rather than react. Be flexible, and be willing to entertain new possibilities. What if -- in small or large ways -- I could help birth a new age, and with it a new world, one based on heart-centered consciousness and individual freedoms?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>The New Moon also sextiles Mars in <strong>Scorpio</strong> and Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong></em>. This is an opportunity for healing our collective wounds around feeling spiritually disconnected in our world of accomplishments. We get a chance to connect more deeply with others and bring a powerful approach to what we are currently building and working towards. Our actions tend to be in greater alignment with our deepest desires.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Ask yourself: What if I could be productive and gentle with myself at the same time? What would a compassionate approach guarantee? What is pushing or pulling at me? How could my actions become a source of empowerment? What if I allowed all actions to flow from a deep sense of authentic connectedness? What if I forgave myself and others for having flaws or limitations?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Given that it rules <strong>Capricorn</strong>, <em>Saturn\'s placement in its own sign</em> plays an important role with this New Moon: If you want to know how Saturn\'s journey in <strong>Capricorn</strong> will impact you personally in the next three years, feel free to purchase my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, <a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-recorded-webinars/\">on my website</a>, <em>or</em> for a quick preview <a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/5067/\">check out my 30-minute excerpt of the webinar</a>\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>Saturn conjuncts Mercury in <strong>Capricorn</strong></em>. This reminds us of the power of our mind; that our thoughts and words matter. What am I doing, career-wise? What is the long-term plan? How can I honor and share those goals with others in a clear and honest way? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">It\'s time to seriously think about what no longer works. As best as you can, investigate your thought processes: What feels no longer useful in my approach? What if I got real about that? What might be possible if I took 5% more responsibility for my inner dialog, and the energy those thoughts disperse?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>To sum all of this up:</strong> We are invited to become mature, responsible planetary citizens, while honoring our individuality -- in other words, making a difference, one by one -- even when it seems as though we are too little to create a big shift on our own. No matter how small it may seem, every ripple moves something, changes something...</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">This cosmic combo also directs our attention to our bottom lines. What matters most to me? What are my priorities? Am I living my truth, and thus loving my goals? Where is it best to be flexible, and where must I remain focused and in alignment with my commitments? When have I felt the happiest? What if I committed 5% more to the things, people and places in my life that make me happy? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Inner strength and self-reliance come almost entirely from dealing with adversity. Obstacles are a part of life -- they show us where we have an opportunity to become more capable -- and also where we have gone out of alignment with outer reality or inner truth. Am I on the right track, as best as I can tell? Am I walking my own path? Or someone elses? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">What obstacles can I see or sense from here? What if there was value in those obstacles? Could I send them gratitude for being given the opportunity to get back into greater alignment with myself and reality?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Choose wisely for 2018: participate consciously in the evolution of existence on this planet; not from a place of fear, but from a place of knowing your inner strength and your own personal power -- the power of your heart and your humanity! Trust your inner truth! Feel free to watch my New Moon video as well :-)</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are also about to enter Eclipse season, as the first of two Eclipses becomes exact on Jan. 31st; I\'ll be talking more about this in my next Monthly Forecasting Forum on Feb. 3rd.

This is also our “shadow” – the parts of ourselves we had to ignore, condemn, or lock away, in order to live within our family and society.\n\nAs Carl Jung so memorably said though ”The gold is always in the shadows”. Within these locked and darkened rooms lie all our benefits, blessings, lessons and gifts. When we reintegrate what we banished, we become truly unique – unlike anyone else who has ever lived. Chiron tells us that, no matter how painful or shameful, <em>every </em>wound holds a gift.\n\nTrying to “fix” these wounds sends the message that the wound itself is “wrong” and we are broken because of it – we are just driving it deeper into the shadow. The healing path to wholeness is simply to approach the wound ‐‐ and to accept our own perfection, exactly as we are (and are not). We sit with the wound compassionately, as we would with a wounded relative, until it reveals its gifts.\n\nChiron is not only a pointer then, it is also a catalyst for “self‐alchemy” – a way to turn our personal “base metals” into gold. It is both guide and process in this quantum leap of consciousness.\n\n<strong>Chiron</strong>: Bridge between Saturn and Uranus, link between social and outer planets: connects the worldly with the spiritual, the physical with the non-physical, we are being reminded of our humanity and to see it as a gift\n\n<strong>Outer planets</strong>: Uranus, Neptune and Pluto: they connect us to the Soul’s wishes, dreams and desires\n\n<strong>Uranus:</strong>The Soul’s wish for freedom and change (idealistic): divine creativity, innovation and intelligence (speed things up)\n\n<strong>Neptune:</strong>The Soul’s dream of oneness and unconditional love (spiritual):\n\nDivine love, presence and creativity (slows things down)\n\n<strong>Pluto:</strong>The Soul’s desire for feeling fully empowered and passionate about life (emotional): divine will, purpose and power (deepens our experiences)\n\n<strong>Moon Nodes</strong>: represent our Soul’s Journey: Past, Future and the integration of the two in the Present\n\nLet’s talk about:\n<ul>\n 	<li>The difference between childhood experiences and adult choices.</li>\n 	<li>The importance of house placements for outer planets and Chiron</li>\n 	<li>Placement of Chiron between Saturn and Uranus: the link/bridge from the material/karmic world to the Soul\'s greater vision for life on Earth.</li>\n</ul>\n<strong>Chiron:</strong> the Wounded Healer: connect to the wounding within and rise above it through love compassion and understanding.

fruit that’s been in there for too long and is starting to rot. You take it out and throw it away, so that the rest of the fruit doesn’t rot as well. We let the dead, toxic fruit go, so we can feel healthy and empowered. That’s Pluto…\n\nBut perhaps there’s another piece of fruit in the refrigerator, that has a dimple or looks crooked. We don’t necessarily throw it out – it’s not bad, it’s just “wounded”. We accept it for what it is and develop compassion for its “flaw”, for being less than perfect. We develop an understanding about what it’s like to be less-than-perfect and can therefore accept this in others as well.\n\nThat’s Chiron – the Wound itself feels like it is a “disconnect”, but it is actually the connector between the physical and spiritual realms.

So much going on...\r\n\r\nFirstly, the Moon remains in relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking Libra all day. It will journey there until Tuesday afternoon, where it will help us be naturally courteous and diplomatic -- we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the last Quarter Moon (which, will be exact Monday early evening...)\r\n\r\nMonday morning, an opportune Sun/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 7:07am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday. We might want to take advantage of the opportunities this aspect provides -- it\'s an excellent time for creating deeper intimate connections, resolving conflicts with others, having fun and boosting our self-confidence. In fact, we may well feel particularly vital and confident -- and inner optimism can bring rewards.\r\n\r\nHumor can be a big part of this aspect too: We are able to laugh whole-heartedly, and see nothing but possibility in our lives, especially in our intimate relationships and our shared resources with others. This could bring a healthy shift of attitude toward our relationships -- whether personal or business.\r\n\r\nImagine you have a special lens which showed you the \"bigger picture\"... What would your relationships look like when you gazed through it?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in 16-20 degrees of Capricorn, Scorpio, Virgo or Pisces? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Sagittarius (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).\r\n\r\nMonday late morning, an opportune Venus/Jupiter aspect becomes exact at 11:13am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday evening on; it will remain strong until this Tuesday night. We have an opportunity to grow in our social and personal relationships at this time. Humor and caring play a big role in our interactions with others.\r\n\r\nWe can call upon tolerance, optimism and co-operation when dealing with loved ones or business relationships now. Financially speaking, things are \"on the up\"; we may have opportunities now to expand our pocketbooks -- if we make sound decisions that are in the interest of everyone involved.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-20 degrees of Capricorn, Scorpio, Virgo or Pisces? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Sagittarius (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).\r\n\r\nMonday afternoon, an opportune Mars/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 2:59pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Friday evening on; it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. This brings an opportunity to connect our personal passions to our Soul\'s passions. We are resourceful and persistent when pursuing a goal, bringing tremendous effort and focus to bear.\r\n\r\nThis is an opportunity to be committed, determined and passionate, with no half-measures; it\'s also an opportunity to feel more confident about our own talents. Strategic thinking and execution is favored right now, as is eliminating waste around time and energy. Remember though: An \"opportunity\" is just an opening, it\'s not automatically granted -- we have to \"step up\" to the opening, then through it...\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-21 degrees of Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces  or Virgo? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aries or Scorpio (Mars is the ruler of Aries, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Mars\'s movements and aspects; Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)\r\n\r\nMonday early evening, at 5:25pm EST, the last Quarter Moon in 18.5 degrees of Libra becomes exact. We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Libra Sunday morning. The Moon in relationship-oriented, harmony-loving Libra makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in ambitious, goal-oriented Capricorn.\r\n\r\nThis may bring up some challenges. However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed. This Moon phase brings us closer to Jan 16th, which will bring the New Moon in Capricorn.\r\n\r\nWith the last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us take a look at what was started around the time of the last New Moon -- in this case, around Dec. 18th. We now have about a week to wrap those projects up. What -- if anything -- needs last-minute adjustments? What did you discover since Dec. 18th? What did it mean for you?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally or with others).\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-21 degrees of Libra, Capricorn, Aries or Cancer? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s last Quarter Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer, since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (Jan. 9th)</strong> is just as busy as Monday -- astrologically speaking: the Moon remains in relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking Libra until 3:05pm EST (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\nTuesday very early morning, a Sun/Venus alignment in almost 20 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 2:02am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday (Jan. 6th) night on; it will remain strong until this Friday night.  We are motivated to strike a balance in our relationships and our career environment. If you have negotiations going on at this time, it’s very likely they will go smoothly.\r\n\r\nGraciousness, diplomacy, charm, and a healthy dose of realism: This is a good period for social affairs, pleasure, amusement, and romance, especially if it\'s about building something concrete and long-term, something traditional or something connected to status and expertise.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 17-23 degrees of Capricorn, Aries, Libra or Cancer? If so, you may be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Leo (the Sun rules Leo; Venus rules Taurus and Libra)\r\n\r\nTuesday early morning, a Venus/Pluto alignment in 19 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 4:03am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday (Jan. 6th) evening on; it will remain strong until this Thursday. This alignment brings out our passionate side. We uncompromisingly seek deep, totally authentic connections with others.\r\n\r\nOur instincts are very strong right now, our inner wolf is wide-awake, and we can sniff out any unclean intentions right away. As best as you can, be completely truthful about your motivations and needs – if you try to duck this, it could get ugly, since everyone knows what everyone else is up to anyway.\r\n\r\nWhat if you took 100% responsibility for getting what you want and need? What is the highest path to achieve that? As best as you can, find creative solutions and remain flexible. And as always when Pluto is involved, choose the power of love over the power of fear -- whenever possible.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 16-22 degrees of Capricorn, Aries, Cancer or Libra? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Scorpio (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Pluto rules Scorpio)\r\n\r\nTuesday early morning, a Sun/Pluto alignment in 19 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 4:33am EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday (Jan. 6th) morning on; it will remain strong until this Thursday night. This alignment asks of us that we reclaim our authority and make some fundamental changes in our world.\r\n\r\nSome of the structures that we built in the past may no longer be solid; they must fall now, to be replaced with something that empowers us. It is necessary to redefine feminine and masculine “powers”. What do you need to acknowledge or embrace? What is rejected or ignored? If you truly had choice in the matter, what kind of future would you want to step into?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 16-22 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries or Libra? If so, you may be more affected by this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Scorpio (the Sun is the ruler of Leo; Pluto rules Scorpio)\r\n\r\nTuesday at 11:13am EST, we enter a Moon void of course (VoC). that lasts for almost 4 hours, until 3:05pm EST. Use this intuitive time to collaborate with others and share your life philosophy. As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday (late morning until the mid-afternoon) ahead of time ;-) (Moon sextiles Mercury in Sagittarius)\r\n\r\nTuesday at 3:05pm EST, the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio, where it will journey until Thursday late morning. We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s therefore an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can therefore be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so as best you can, be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\nTuesday late afternoon, an opportune Venus/Mars aspect becomes exact at 4:08pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Saturday (Jan. 6th) night on; it will remain strong until this Friday evening.  This aspect helps intimate or business relationships along, bringing passion and/or sexiness to them -- and if we\'re not in a long-term committed relationship, we\'ll get some help in forming one.\r\n\r\nThis could also be a good time for financial ventures, social life, artistic pursuits, and pleasure in general. Remember: this is an \"opportunity\" -- those aren\'t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in 18-22 degrees of Capricorn, Scorpio, Pisces or Virgo? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Aries (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars is the ruler of Aries)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (Jan. 10th)</strong>: the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio all day (see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\nWednesday very early morning, an opportune Sun/Mars aspect becomes exact at 12:36am EST. We started to feel this aspect from Monday on; it will remain strong until this Friday. Many of us feel an inner joy now -- when planning and achieving; now is a good time to link this to our intuition and instincts.\r\n\r\nOur self-confidence and self-esteem can get a boost: we feel we can meet life on life\'s terms and stand up for ourselves (and our point of view) without becoming hostile or confrontational.\r\n\r\nWe have to “take” opportunities, and this one is no exception: It requires we take action. What if there was a single, really simple action step, that would feel almost effortless?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of Capricorn, Scorpio, Pisces or Virgo? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Aries (the Sun rules Leo; Mars is the ruler of Aries)\r\n\r\nWednesday at 11:40am EST, Mercury\'s Shadow Phase ends. As you may recall, on Dec. 22nd, when Mercury stationed direct, I mentioned Mercury shadow phases as well: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it\'s best to avoid the periods shortly before and after Mercury goes retrograde. This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.)\r\n\r\nThe good news is, this shadow phase ends today, when Mercury reaches 29º18\' of Sagittarius. This means that we can finally go ahead and book those plane tickets -- or buy that new car or iPhone (or anything else communication- or transportation-related). We can also more easily take in new information, so teaching, sharing and learning will be more effective. Click here to read my blog on the subject.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (Jan. 11th)</strong>: the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio all day (see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\nWednesday night/Thursday very early morning, at 12:09am EST, Mercury changes signs from optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius to practical, accomplishment-oriented, status-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Jan. 31st.\r\n\r\nThis is a time when our minds like to make concrete plans for the future. A systematic, practical approach to reaching our goals is now favored; we are good at focusing on practical matters and getting down to the essentials.\r\n\r\nWe do not waste any words at this time -- what we say is truthful and to the point. We see reality very clearly now -- and it might not look as rosy as we thought. As best as you can, use this time to get in touch with what\'s real in your life -- without going down the \"rabbit hole\" of pessimistic inadequacy ;-)\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini or Virgo? If so, you will be more serious and possible more eager to accomplish concrete goals. Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in Capricorn? If so, you will most likely feel more chatty for the next 3 weeks.\r\n\r\nThursday at 9:53am EST, we enter a Moon void of course (VoC). that lasts for a little over 16 hours, until Friday (Jan. 12th) at 2:04am EST. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others on an authentic level. What if you let yourself trust others in the mutual pursuit of realistic, practical goals?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday (late morning, all the way through the night) ahead of time ;-) (Moon sextiles Venus in Capricorn)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (Jan. 12th):</strong> the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio and VoC until 2:04am EST (see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\nFriday at 2:04am EST, the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius, where it will journey until Sunday afternoon. We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence, which means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, than take orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (Jan. 13th)</strong>: the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius all day (see Friday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\nSaturday very early morning, a Mercury/Saturn alignment in almost 3 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 2:03am EST. We started to feel this aspect from Wednesday evening on; it will remain strong until Monday (Jan. 15th). This connection strengthens our ability to make realistic decisions connected to our need for achievement and mastery. We are more able to come from a place of integrity and maturity when planning anything long-term.\r\n\r\nWe prefer to have serious conversations with others that move us forward, closer to a common goal. It\'s an excellent period for reviewing, reassessing, perfecting, and improving our thinking patterns, long-term goals, and path towards mastery. Even though we might have a more negative or critical outlook initially, this alignment serves the purpose of reaching a balanced, mature, and realistic state.\r\n\r\nDue to Mercury\'s retrograde phase, we have already experienced this aspect several times over the past 7 weeks -- making this alignment more important this time around. Think back to Nov. 28th and Dec. 6th, 2017. In what ways did you need to slow down and take a more serious look at a situation in your life?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in 0-6 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries or Libra? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Gemini, Virgo or Capricorn (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).\r\n\r\nSaturday very early morning, around 2am EST, the Balsamic Moon phase begins when the Moon reaches 12º of Sagittarius. This lasts until Tuesday evening, when the New Moon in Capricorn becomes exact (more on that next week...however, feel free to watch my video on the subject -- will be posted by Friday, Jan. 12th).\r\n\r\nWe are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our inner sensing/intuition. For some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes.\r\n\r\nThis is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?\r\n\r\nSaturday early afternoon, a challenging Venus/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 2:09pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from Wednesday night on; it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening (Jan. 15th). This \"stretch aspect\" asks us to grow beyond what we know and have experienced in the past in regards to our relationships, especially business relations.\r\n\r\nPriorities may shift. We may experience clashes of taste or values with business partners; as you can imagine, we may feel some instability or restlessness in connection to others. We may also struggle with freedom versus material safety -- the latter manifesting as fears around financial goals.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take a deep breath and hold off on decision-making with regards to finances -- in particular, it is best to avoid impulse buys at this time.\r\n\r\nIn general, expect the unexpected: Things may take a different turn when it comes to the truly important. Keep your mind and heart open: if something demands elimination or change, it was waiting for that shift to happen anyway. As best as you can, find creative solutions and stay flexible and adaptable. This is not the best time to take things too personally (but then again, is there ever a good time for that? :-)\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 21-28 degrees of Capricorn, Aries, Libra, or Cancer? If so, you may be more affected by this aspect. The same is true for those with their Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Aquarius (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Uranus rules Aquarius)\r\n\r\nSaturday late evening, an opportune Venus/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 9:52pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from this Friday on; it will remain strong until next week, Monday (Jan. 15th) . It\'s an opportunity to bring healing to our wounds around relationships or our sense of self-worth.\r\n\r\nWe get a chance to love ourselves and heal deep fears of not being \"good enough\". Healing happens much faster when we can open to forgiving ourselves and others. As best as you can, bring compassion and understanding to yourself, to others, and to those past experiences that wounded you.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of Capricorn, Pisces, Scorpio or Taurus? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus or Libra (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra)\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (Jan. 14th):</strong> the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius until 2:42pm EST (see Friday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\nSunday at 3:48am EST, we enter a Moon void of course (VoC). that lasts for almost 11 hours, until 2:42pm EST. This intuitive time could serve as an opportunity to connect to like-minded people and learn something new about your unique self. How wide could your vision for humanity become?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday (until the mid-afternoon) ahead of time ;-) (Moon trines Uranus in Aries)\r\n\r\nSunday at 2:42pm EST, the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Wednesday very early morning (Jan. 17th). We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, be truthful with yourself about where you are at: Do you actually have a realistic view about what is so, right now, in your life? Not what you wish it to be or what you would like it to be or where you see yourself going.... What is so right now? Once you know where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\", whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\nSunday afternoon, a challenging Sun/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 3:45pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from Friday evening on; it will remain strong until next Wednesday (Jan. 17th).  Disrupted routines and plans, especially around career and business, are quite likely; this calls for flexibility and creative solutions.\r\n\r\nDuring this transit, we feel a great need to make progress, as we feel quite restless -- maybe even anxious -- but if we\'re unclear on what actions are in our best interest, we might act in ways that don\'t serve us in the long run.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go with the flow and stay open to experiencing something new and wonderfully unexpected; if you can, put off making major decisions for the time being... \"haste makes waste\" during this aspect ;-)\r\n\r\nYou can think of this as \"reorganizing\" time -- like rearranging your furniture -- try not to resist the reorganization. Enjoy the ride… and remember: it only feels uncomfortable because it’s new and different. Could you allow yourself to be comfortable with being uncomfortable?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 21-28 degrees of Cancer, Aries, Libra, Capricorn or 0-1 degrees Leo, Taurus, Aquarius or Scorpio? If so, you may be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aquarius or Leo (the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius)\r\n\r\nAlso on Sunday, Uranus resumes its normal pace through the sky, ending its station. What has come up in the last four weeks around radical change, personal freedom, and needing to individuate? How closely are you in touch with your personal vision for life?\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (Jan. 15th):</strong> The Moon remains in Capricorn all day (see Sunday afternoon for details). In very early morning, an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 1:59am EST. We started to feel this aspect from Friday night on; it will remain strong until this Tuesday morning. In late evening, a long-term, opportune Jupiter/Pluto aspect becomes exact at 11:13pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from Tuesday (Jan. 3rd) on; it will remain strong until Wednesday (Jan. 31st).

Take a breath. Relax. Find your peace. Don\'t require the Universe to move more rapidly than it is. It is actually working perfectly, and it will prove that to you if you will give it a chance. Really. Trust me on this.” — Neal D. Walsh</span>\r\n<h3><b>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement: </b></h3>\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">It looks like we are getting closer to launching my new online community. Right now we are aiming for Jan.16th or 17th. Keep your fingers crossed for me ;-) I\'m super-excited and at the same time I am also feeling the pressure of the enormity with this amazing new beginning for myself and everyone out there who is going to join us. But as my spiritual coach likes to remind me, \"Life is an ongoing experiment\" and \"True professionalism is about being able to be flexible and kind about unforeseen situations that come up, allowing ourselves to learn from them and finding out how to make creative adjustments.\"</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>This week\'s headline items</b>: <span style=\"color: #800000;\">the New Moon in Capricorn becomes exact on Tuesday late evening; Venus changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius on Wednesday evening, and the Sun will do the same on Friday late evening. Last but not least, Eclipse season begins on Sunday and will last until Feb. 25th.</span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>There will also be three <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week</strong>: Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning (for 2 hours), Friday morning (for a little over 8.5 hours), and Sunday evening (for a little over 5 hours).</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday (January 15th): </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day.</b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> It will journey there <b>until Wednesday very early morning. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, be truthful with yourself about where you are at: Do you actually have a realistic view about what is so, right now, in your life? Not what you wish it to be or what you would like it to be or where you see yourself going.... What is so right now? Once you know where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\", whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday very early morning, </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">becomes exact at 1:59am EST.</span><b> We started to feel this aspect from Friday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday morning. </b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Until Friday, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">23-27 degrees</span> of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>?

We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support us in achieving professional or personal goals. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: Where in my life could I hone into solving situations, so I can get to where I intent to go?

Take a breath. Relax. Find your peace. Don\'t require the Universe to move more rapidly than it is. It is actually working perfectly, and it will prove that to you if you will give it a chance. Really. Trust me on this.” — Neale Donald Walsh</span>\r\n<h3>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement:</h3>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are getting closer to the launch of my new online community!</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> Right now we are aiming for Jan.16th or 17th -- keep your fingers crossed for me ;-) I\'m super-excited, and at the same time, I also sometimes stress out about the scope of this amazing new beginning for myself and everyone out there who will join us. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">But as my spiritual coach likes to remind me, \"Life is an ongoing experiment\" and \"True professionalism is about being able to be flexible and kind about unforeseen situations that come up, allowing ourselves to learn from them and finding out how to make creative adjustments.\"</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>This week\'s headline item<span style=\"color: #000000;\">s</span></b>: the New Moon in Capricorn becomes exact on Tuesday; Venus changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius on Wednesday, and the Sun will do the same on Friday. Last but not least, Eclipse season begins on Sunday and runs until Feb. 25th.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">There will also be three <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning (for 2 hours), Friday morning (for a little over 8.5 hours), and Sunday evening (for a little over 5 hours).</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday (January 15th): </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day.</b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> It will journey there <b>until Wednesday very early morning. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, be truthful with yourself about where you are at: Do you actually have a realistic view about what is so, right now, in your life? Not what you wish it to be or what you would like it to be or where you see yourself going.... What is so right now? Once you know where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\", whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday very early morning, </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">becomes exact at 1:59am EST.</span><b> We started to feel this aspect from Friday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday morning. </b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Until Friday, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">23-27 degrees</span> of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday late evening: </b><i>an opportune long-term Jupiter/Pluto aspect </i>that we <b>started to feel back on Tuesday Jan. 3rd becomes exact at 11:13pm EST; it will remain strong until Wednesday, Jan. 31st </b>and brings with it an opportunity to deepen our relationships, business and personal alike. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">A positive attitude and deeper trust in our connections with others gives us the chance to build something meaningful and share our passions with them. We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support professional or personal goals. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: Where could I really dig in to solve a problem? How might passion help deliver on my long-term goals? How could other people\'s resources support my ability to create transformation? How might they help me stand in my power?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><b><i> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">17-21 degrees</span> </i></b><i>of</i><b><i> Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces </i></b><i>or <strong>Virgo</strong></i><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces). </i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday (Jan. 16th): </b><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>t</em><b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">he Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</span></i></b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day </b></span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">(see Monday for details).</span> </span></span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday evening, at 9:17pm ES</b>T<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,</span><em> the Moon aligns with the Sun in almost 27 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong>, </em>launching </span><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">a new Moon cycle.</span> </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is a good time to go within, to seed anything we would like to accomplish for the next 28 days, and maybe even beyond. The next section of this forecast will dig in to this in more detail; you may also want to <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/commitments-integrity/\">watch my New Moon video</a> :-) </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is the first New Moon of the year and since <strong>Capricorn</strong> represents the quest for mastery on the physical plane, some useful questions you can ask yourself include: </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">What is my relationship to the physical? Do I respect the laws of matter? Am I going about things in a realistic way? How committed am I really? Where does my inner compass point? What am I willing to undergo to overcome adversity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The highest vibration of <strong>Capricorn</strong> is the development of responsibility, resourcefulness, reliability, self-mastery, the ability to set realistic goals and healthy boundaries. The next 28 days are a perfect time to work on these areas. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, prepare for the future, make commitments and recognize responsibilities -- in other words, nurture your dreams in a realistic manner. Focus on setting and achieving practical and attainable long-term goals, one step at a time, one day at a time -- this is not about immediate results, it\'s about the quality of the foundation you are building.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> also invites us to set the kind of realistic limits and boundaries that allow everyone involved to learn from the consequences of their choices. Where in my life am I able to set realistic limits and boundaries? Where is that an obstacle in your life? What am I afraid of in those moments? What would be the worst of that?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> relates directly to the level of our maturity: We start out on a more instinctual, survival level; this stage is basically fear-based, with a scarcity mentality. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Once we get better at living on the earth plane -- and we understand the rules better -- we transition to goal-oriented ambition and self-challenge, seeking recognition and rewards. This phase is still sometimes fear-based, but already we are taking more responsibility for our part in achieving things, and we are manifesting on the physical plane. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Eventually, as we grow spiritually and learn more about the laws of matter, earthly ambitions are often replaced by some form of spiritual service. We recognize that personal gain is not the only (or even the highest) goal, we see that when we contribute to others, we are also giving to ourselves -- perhaps we also surpass the physical appearance of separation and connect to life in it\'s highest form.</span> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">At this level, we are living in pure accordance with our conscience, from a place of maturity and inner guidance.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: What if I developed 5% more discipline? Integrity? What about 5% more commitment towards something that aligns both with myself and with life itself? What would 100% responsibility for my life look like? What if I responded to situations in a way that respects and serves all those involved? </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">  </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> <em>This New Moon aligns with Venus and Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong> and squares Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>.</em> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">First let\'s focus on the alignment with Venus and Pluto: This conveys an extra-potent message about our perception of physical reality -- time and space -- and about our relationship to love, our values, power or feeling empowered. Ask yourself: If I truly had choice in the matter, what kind of future would I choose to step into? Who would I choose to connect with? Why? Who would I not choose to connect with? Why not?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Venus in conjunction with the New Moon</em> advises us to choose wisely and from the heart. Ask yourself: Am I true to myself? Am I working too hard without making enough progress? Am I expressing my feelings truthfully? Or hiding my true feelings from others? Am I in touch with what\'s important to me -- especially in regards to relationships? Am I happy? Could I love and respect myself and life 5% more?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">With this many planets in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, it is important for us to take breaks — or simply slow down and allow ourselves to tune in. It’s important to explore ways to stay heart-centered and grounded -- seek tools or people to help you with that exploration. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Now let\'s talk about <em>the square to Uranus</em> -- the energy of freedom, innovation and reform. This combo focuses our attention on the right use of power -- which respects the rights, needs, and gifts of all beings. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: Where do I need to be more courageous? Where do I need to \"think different\"? What if I became 5% more aware of my personal power? Where might I have given it away to others? And how might I begin to reclaim it? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Remember that change is not always progress. Consider all options first and then respond, rather than reacting; stay flexible and be willing to entertain new possibilities. What if -- in small or large ways -- I could help birth a new age, and with it a new world, one based on heart-centered consciousness and individual freedoms?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>The New Moon also sextiles Mars in <strong>Scorpio</strong> and Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong></em>. This is an opportunity to heal our collective wounds around any sense of spiritual disconnection in our world of accomplishments. We get a chance to connect more deeply with others and bring a powerful approach to what we are building and working towards. Our actions tend to be in greater alignment with our deepest desires.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: What if I could be both productive <em>and</em> gentle with myself at the same time? What would a compassionate approach make possible? What is pushing or pulling at me? How could my actions become a source of empowerment? What if I allowed all actions to flow from a deep sense of authentic connectedness? What if I forgave myself and others for having flaws or limitations?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Given that it rules <strong>Capricorn</strong>, <em>Saturn\'s placement in its own sign</em> plays an important role with this New Moon -- and if you\'d like to know how Saturn\'s journey in <strong>Capricorn</strong> will impact you personally over the next three years, feel free to check out my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, available for purchase <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-recorded-webinars/\">on my website</a> (or check out a<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/5067/\"> 30-minute excerpt for free :-)</a></span>\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Saturn conjuncts Mercury while in <strong>Capricorn</strong></em>. This reminds us of the power of our mind -- that our thoughts and words matter. What am I doing, career-wise? What is the long-term plan? How can I honor and share those goals with others in a clear and honest way? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">It\'s time to think seriously about what no longer works. As best as you can, investigate your thought processes: What no longer feels useful in my approach? What if I got real about that? What might be possible if I took 5% more responsibility for my inner dialog, and the energy those thoughts disperse?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>To sum all of this up:</strong> We are invited to become mature, responsible planetary citizens, while honoring our individuality -- in other words, making a difference, one by one -- even when it seems as though we are too little to create a big shift on our own. No matter how small an action may seem, every pebble makes a ripple...</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This cosmic combo also directs our attention to our bottom lines. What matters most to me? What are my priorities? Am I living my truth, and thus loving my goals? Where is it best to be flexible, and where must I remain focused and in alignment with my commitments? When have I felt the happiest? What if I committed 5% more to the things, people and places in my life that make me happy? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Inner strength and self-reliance come almost entirely from adversity; obstacles are the part of life that show us where we have an opportunity to become more capable and where we have drifted from contact with outer reality or inner truth. Am I on the right track, as best as I can tell? Am I walking my own path? Or someone else\'s? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">What obstacles can I see or sense from here? What if there was value in those obstacles? Could I send them gratitude for being given the opportunity to get back into greater alignment with myself and reality?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Choose wisely for 2018 and beyond. Participate consciously in the evolution of existence on this planet, not from fear, but from knowledge of your inner strength and personal power -- the power of your heart and your humanity! Trust your inner truth!</span>\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are also about to enter Eclipse season, as the first of two Eclipses becomes exact on Jan. 31st; I\'ll be talking more about this in my next Monthly Forecasting Forum on Feb. 3rd.

Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Social gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius.

An inner awareness needs to be developed in order to see what needs adjusting -- this aspect calls for flexibility.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We experience an internal stress between our masculine energies (assertiveness/aggression) and our need to express our unique spark (and the desire to make a difference).</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are being asked to go within and look at our personal goals and desires -- and reach a new perspective on how we go about achieving them. Are we driven by personal resistance and rebellion, or motivated to positively impact humanity?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Once we get clear about our deepest motivations, we will discover new ways to move forward and embrace our uniqueness in a healthy way, while demonstrating our strength and power more authentically, from a place of love and abundance, rather than fear and limitation. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">How might you get in touch with your inner genius? What if you shared it from a true desire to empower others?  What \"old\" behaviors can now be released? What might a deep, passionate connection to your vision of a future self look like?

A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">It\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\".

Music might help us with our thinking process and ability to get things done. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Let yourself be inspired! A book, a song, a movie, someone else\'s words… allow the Universe to speak to you. Open your mind to a higher vibration -- and remember, opportunities are openings... they aren\'t necessarily handed to us... we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.

If possible, try to defer any major brand-new projects <strong>until after Feb. 25th,</strong> when this Eclipse season is over. If something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic… allow it to be.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Another Eclipse-related phenomenon: not only do Eclipses bring up uncertainty in us, they might also leave us nervous, anxious, unsettled and disoriented.

Remember: it\'s temporary and we are receiving an upgrade -- that\'s a good thing!</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Just like upgrading a computer, you will get all the information you need, as soon as the upgrade is complete -- so as best you can, be patient.

On the one hand, I heard \"relax, enjoy, be with what is\" -- this felt very much connected to Venus in Pisces.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, I was quite aware of my past-based patterns, and I practiced being kind to myself and asking questions, rather than dwell on the patterns themselves -- this felt connected to Jupiter in Scorpio. Of course, the Eclipse on Thursday threw me for a loop -- it took place in my 4th House. This is the area of home and family... And there were definitely some unexpected things going on there that had to be addressed. How are <em>you</em> moving with these energies?\r\n\r\n<b>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement: </b>\r\nI\'m still offering a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\"><b>super-dooper special launch discount</b></a> on site membership.

Why? <a href=\"https://goo.gl/aEhibk\">Click here</a> to read more about it\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: the first Quarter Moon in Gemini becomes exact on Friday; Eclipse season ends on Sunday, and among other things, that means you can start to take actions on your Solar Eclipse intentions that day -- and Jupiter begins its Station-phase on Sunday as well.\r\n\r\nThere will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Tuesday morning (for 8 hours), Thursday morning (for almost 12.5 hours), and Saturday afternoon (for a little over 7 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (February 19th): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><i>pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries </i><strong>all day.</strong></b> It will remain there <b>until Tuesday afternoon</b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday</strong><strong> </strong><b>morning</b> starts out harmoniously and with an urge to explore something new that helps us understand the bigger picture all around.<!--more-->\r\n\r\nLater (<b>in the evening</b>), we are invited to make adjustments and find creative solutions around personal desires and needs, versus our deep passion and focus on long-term goals. As best as you can, allow yourself to make space for both; flexibility and adaptability are key if we mean to move forward with our plans and projects...\r\n\r\nLast but not least, also on <strong>Monday until 4pm EST, </strong>it is still the best time to set<i> our powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse Intentions</i>. Doing so during a Solar Eclipse is a little different from the regular monthly New Moon process: we are setting those intentions for the whole 6-month Eclipse cycle, rather than just for the next 28 days.\r\n<b></b>\r\n\r\nMake them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the <b>Aquarian</b> energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nThis Solar Eclipse reminds us that to be fully alive requires us to constantly stretch, grow, and change. So, while writing your intentions, ask yourself: What would it take for me to release old patterns from the past? How might that free me to create a more powerful vision for the future?\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (February 20th): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><i>pioneering, fast-paced </i><strong><b><i>Aries</i></b></strong><strong><em> </em>until 2:12pm EST </strong>(see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:11am EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for 8 hours, <strong>until 2:12pm EST. </strong>Use this intuitive time to connect to people that can enthusiastically support your projects and share with them what you have going on.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday morning until early afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 2:12pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves</i><b> </b><i>into steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Thursday evening.</strong> We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.\r\n\r\nIn other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (February 21st):</strong> <em>t</em><em>he Moon remains in steady, peaceful</em><strong><em> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> </em>all day </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon,</strong> <i>a Venus/Neptune alignment in 13.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> </i>becomes exact at 1:42pm EST. <b>We started to feel this aspect on Monday night, it will be strong until Friday night</b>. It asks us to dissolve anything that keeps us from opening our hearts more fully. This connection makes us dream of Soul connections with others.\r\n\r\nWe are highly romantic and may turn a blind eye to \"what is\", in pursuit of a fantasy that we want or need to have fulfilled. Beware of anything that sounds too good to be true -- whether that\'s in connection with people or money -- it might indeed be \"too good to be true\" ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Mercury/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 3:23pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning on; it will remain strong until this Thursday. </strong>This is an opportunity to take responsibility for our thinking structures and be really honest with ourselves.\r\n\r\nHow can we get the most from this opportunity? As best as you can, allow your intuitive body to guide you. Commit to understanding your conditioning and thinking processes.\r\n\r\nIf we take this chance to see things more clearly and connect to ourselves more lovingly, we could get a good dose of reality, and an ability to focus on long-term issues. Remember: opportunities are openings; they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 5-9 degrees of <strong>Capricorn, Pisces, Scorpio </strong>or <strong>Taurus</strong>? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (Feb. 22nd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <b><i>Taurus</i></b></em><strong><em> </em>until 7:07pm EST </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 6:46am EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 12.5 hours, <strong>until 7:07pm EST</strong>. Use this intuitive time to balance your desire for comfort and security with your desire for deeper emotional connections with yourself and others.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday Day ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 7:07pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <strong>until Saturday late evening</strong><b>.</b> For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way...\r\n\r\nThe one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-) This Moon placement starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Friday very early morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (Feb. 23rd):</strong> <em>the </em><i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b></strong>(see Thursday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday very early morning, at 3:09am EST, </strong><i>the first Quarter Moon in 4.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> </i>becomes exact (<b>we <strong>started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered <em>Gemini</em> on Thursday evening</strong>). </b>The Moon in chatty, versatile <b>Gemini</b> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in sensitive, compassionate <b>Pisces.</b>\r\n\r\nLast week (Feb. 15th) saw a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse. If we set some intentions on Feb. 17th, 18th or 19th, we are now ready to make some adjustments. This is a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum -- in fact, we may feel compelled to act, stirring up anxiety or overwhelm, so just go one breath at a time.\r\n\r\nRemember, we\'re still in Eclipse Season until Sunday, and thus don\'t have all the information we need to move brand-new projects forward yet. Allow for changes, remain flexible and adaptable, find creative solutions in day-to-day interactions with others. Allow for new downloads and for the release of “old” codes and conditioning. Simply put: an open mind and heart will serve us best (that\'s true in general, but especially true until Feb. 25th ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 2-7 degrees of</i><b><i> Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (Feb. 24th): </strong><em>the </em><i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b></strong><strong><em> </em>until 10:06pm EST </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 2:58pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 10:06pm EST. </strong>Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 10:06pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Monday late evening (Feb. 26th)</strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday night, </strong><em> </em><i>Jupiter starts to slow down (station) as it reaches 23 degrees of </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Scorpio</strong><i>, preparing for its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. </i>Jupiter will come to a halt on March 8th;<i> </i>its <i>station-phase</i> last <b>until March 20th.</b> We will feel its energy more forcefully during the station-phase.\r\n\r\nWe start to be more fully aware of Jupiter\'s energy; this awareness helps us to get more connected to those energies within us. We get to see where we need to embrace them more fully, so that we can use them in a healthy way, without getting lost in the lower vibrations of their expression.\r\n\r\n<b>Until March 20th</b>, we have to face what this planet is trying to communicate to us: Jupiter represents our desire to seek insight via the gaining of knowledge. Some of this planet\'s keywords: morality, gratitude, hope, honor, law. Jupiter is the planet of possibility, optimism, and growth (including mental and spiritual growth). Jupiter is also associated with a sense of humor, goodwill, and mercy.\r\n\r\nThe lower expressions of Jupiter include \"Oh, the heck with it\", \"I deserve this and more\", \"the rules do not apply to me\" -- generally speaking: too much of a good thing, blind optimism, excess, stretching the truth, overindulgence.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> 21-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Taurus, Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this station phase. This is also true for those of us who have our</i><i> or Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter rules Sagittarius, so Sagittarius will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (February 25th): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><em><i>protective, nurturing</i></em><strong><em><i> </i>Cancer </em>all day </strong>(see Saturday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Venus/Mars aspect </em>becomes exact at 7:01am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday night (Feb. 27th). </strong>This aspect asks that we stretch ourselves with regard to the feminine/masculine dynamic as it manifests both “inside” and “outside”: A shift needs to occur.\r\n\r\nThis can show up in several ways, either through romantic and sexual tensions that we might experience with others. We may tease each other, flirt with each other and/or play hard to get. Or we may find ourselves arguing in a very passionate way with the opposite sex. Competitiveness, anger, frustration, or angst might be present. Either way, this can be a very passionate time.\r\n\r\nBalancing and integrating masculine and feminine energies within ourselves would be very useful at this time.\r\n\r\nIf we experience these energies internally, there may be a desire for adventure -- or just for being still and \"adventuring\" into ourselves, our heart-space, our inner universe. The challenge might be that we feel pulled in two directions -- on the one hand, we want to feel \"one\" with others and connect to them through love and kindness. On the other hand, we want to be free and explore something new, outside of our familiar environment.\r\n\r\nWhat might it look like, if you made room for both of these energies?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in 15-22 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars is the ruler of Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Neptune alignment in 13.5 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:26am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Monday night (Feb. 26th). </strong>This aspect could take our connection to our intuition even deeper -- if we can allow it.\r\n\r\nSpiritual and creative endeavors are highly recommended during this time -- especially those involving music or creative writing. This is definitely a highly imaginative time. As best as you can, go with the flow and -- just for now -- let go of wanting to figure it all out.\r\n\r\nThe highest vibration of this aspect is idealistic, highly intuitive and romantic; on a lower level vibration, we might not see reality clearly and we might easily feel overwhelmed. We might get confused or disappointed; things might seem a little foggy, especially when it comes to communication, processing information, public transportation or daily traffic.\r\n\r\nCheck in with others before signing any documents or making long-term decisions for those three days: get reality checks! As best as you can, let go and let flow ;-) On the other hand, trust the divine timing of things and have faith that everything will turn out exactly as it needs to.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of  </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Sun/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 12:46pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (Feb. 27th). </strong>This aspect provides an opportunity to become aware of what needs to happen if we are to accomplish something concrete.\r\n\r\nWe have common sense at our disposal; we are willing to look reality in the eye and take responsibility for our life and how we live it. This is an opportunity to be more aware of our heart connection to the divine and to our intuitive selves -- and how it can benefit us both in terms of long-term goals, and in what we are focused on in the here and now. Again, remember: opportunities are openings, they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 5-9 degrees</i><b><i> </i></b><i>of </i><b><i>Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)</i><i></i>\r\n\r\nAlso on<strong> Sunday, </strong><em>Eclipse Season ends</em> that started on January 21st.

Take a breath. Relax. Find your peace. Don\'t require the Universe to move more rapidly than it is. It is actually working perfectly, and it will prove that to you if you will give it a chance. Really. Trust me on this.” — Neale Donald Walsh</span>\r\n<h3>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement:</h3>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are getting closer to the launch of my new online community!</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> Right now we are aiming for Jan.16th or 17th -- keep your fingers crossed for me ;-) I\'m super-excited, and at the same time, I also sometimes stress out about the scope of this amazing new beginning for myself and everyone out there who will join us. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">But as my spiritual coach likes to remind me, \"Life is an ongoing experiment\" and \"True professionalism is about being able to be flexible and kind about unforeseen situations that come up, allowing ourselves to learn from them and finding out how to make creative adjustments.\"</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>This week\'s headline item<span style=\"color: #000000;\">s</span></b>: the New Moon in Capricorn becomes exact on Tuesday; Venus changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius on Wednesday, and the Sun will do the same on Friday. Last but not least, Eclipse season begins on Sunday and runs until Feb. 25th.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>There will also be three <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week</strong>: Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning (for 2 hours), Friday morning (for a little over 8.5 hours), and Sunday evening (for a little over 5 hours).</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday (January 15th): </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day.</b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> It will journey there <b>until Wednesday very early morning. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, be truthful with yourself about where you are at: Do you actually have a realistic view about what is so, right now, in your life? Not what you wish it to be or what you would like it to be or where you see yourself going.... What is so right now? Once you know where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\", whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday very early morning, </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">becomes exact at 1:59am EST.</span><b> We started to feel this aspect from Friday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday morning. </b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Until Friday, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">23-27 degrees</span> of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday late evening: </b><i>an opportune long-term Jupiter/Pluto aspect </i>that we <b>started to feel back on Tuesday Jan. 3rd becomes exact at 11:13pm EST; it will remain strong until Wednesday, Jan. 31st </b>and brings with it an opportunity to deepen our relationships, business and personal alike. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">A positive attitude and deeper trust in our connections with others gives us the chance to build something meaningful and share our passions with them. We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support professional or personal goals. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: Where could I really dig in to solve a problem? How might passion help deliver on my long-term goals? How could other people\'s resources support my ability to create transformation? How might they help me stand in my power?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><b><i> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">17-21 degrees</span> </i></b><i>of</i><b><i> Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces </i></b><i>or <strong>Virgo</strong></i><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces). </i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday (Jan. 16th): </b><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>t</em><b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">he Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</span></i></b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day </b></span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">(see Monday for details).</span> </span></span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday evening, at 9:17pm ES</b>T<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,</span><em> the Moon aligns with the Sun in almost 27 degrees of Capricorn, </em>launching </span><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">a new Moon cycle.</span> </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is a good time to go within, to seed anything we would like to accomplish for the next 28 days, and maybe even beyond. The next section of this forecast will dig in to this in more detail; you may also want to watch my New Moon video :-) </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is the first New Moon of the year and since <strong>Capricorn</strong> represents the quest for mastery on the physical plane, some useful questions you can ask yourself include: </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">What is my relationship to the physical? Do I respect the laws of matter? Am I going about things in a realistic way? How committed am I really? Where does my inner compass point? What am I willing to undergo to overcome adversity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The highest vibration of <strong>Capricorn</strong> is the development of responsibility, resourcefulness, reliability, self-mastery, the ability to set realistic goals and healthy boundaries. The next 28 days are a perfect time to work on these areas. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, prepare for the future, make commitments and recognize responsibilities -- in other words, nurture your dreams in a realistic manner. Focus on setting and achieving practical and attainable long-term goals, one step at a time, one day at a time -- this is not about immediate results, it\'s about the quality of the foundation you are building.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> also invites us to set the kind of realistic limits and boundaries that allow everyone involved to learn from the consequences of their choices. Where in my life am I able to set realistic limits and boundaries? Where is that an obstacle in your life? What am I afraid of in those moments? What would be the worst of that?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> relates directly to the level of our maturity: We start out on a more instinctual, survival level; this stage is basically fear-based, with a scarcity mentality. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Once we get better at living on the earth plane -- and we understand the rules better -- we transition to goal-oriented ambition and self-challenge, seeking recognition and rewards. This phase is still sometimes fear-based, but already we are taking more responsibility for our part in achieving things, and we are manifesting on the physical plane. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Eventually, as we grow spiritually and learn more about the laws of matter, earthly ambitions are often replaced by some form of spiritual service. We recognize that personal gain is not the only (or even the highest) goal, we see that when we contribute to others, we are also giving to ourselves -- perhaps we also surpass the physical appearance of separation and connect to life in it\'s highest form.</span> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">At this level, we are living in pure accordance with our conscience, from a place of maturity and inner guidance.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: What if I developed 5% more discipline? Integrity? What about 5% more commitment towards something that aligns both with myself and with life itself? What would 100% responsibility for my life look like? What if I responded to situations in a way that respects and serves all those involved? </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">  </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> <em>This New Moon aligns with Venus and Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong> and squares Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>.</em> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">First let\'s focus on the alignment with Venus and Pluto: This conveys an extra-potent message about our perception of physical reality -- time and space -- and about our relationship to love, our values, power or feeling empowered. Ask yourself: If I truly had choice in the matter, what kind of future would I choose to step into? Who would I choose to connect with? Why? Who would I not choose to connect with? Why not?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Venus in conjunction with the New Moon</em> advises us to choose wisely and from the heart. Ask yourself: Am I true to myself? Am I working too hard without making enough progress? Am I expressing my feelings truthfully? Or hiding my true feelings from others? Am I in touch with what\'s important to me -- especially in regards to relationships? Am I happy? Could I love and respect myself and life 5% more?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">With this many planets in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, it is important for us to take breaks — or simply slow down and allow ourselves to tune in. It’s important to explore ways to stay heart-centered and grounded -- seek tools or people to help you with that exploration. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Now let\'s talk about <em>the square to Uranus</em> -- the energy of freedom, innovation and reform. This combo focuses our attention on the right use of power -- which respects the rights, needs, and gifts of all beings. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Ask yourself: Where do I need to be more courageous? Where do I need to \"think different\"? What if I became 5% more aware of my personal power? Where might I have given it away to others? And how might I begin to reclaim it? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Remember that change is not always progress; consider all options first and then respond, rather than react. Be flexible, and be willing to entertain new possibilities. What if -- in small or large ways -- I could help birth a new age, and with it a new world, one based on heart-centered consciousness and individual freedoms?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>The New Moon also sextiles Mars in <strong>Scorpio</strong> and Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong></em>. This is an opportunity for healing our collective wounds around feeling spiritually disconnected in our world of accomplishments. We get a chance to connect more deeply with others and bring a powerful approach to what we are currently building and working towards. Our actions tend to be in greater alignment with our deepest desires.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Ask yourself: What if I could be productive and gentle with myself at the same time? What would a compassionate approach guarantee? What is pushing or pulling at me? How could my actions become a source of empowerment? What if I allowed all actions to flow from a deep sense of authentic connectedness? What if I forgave myself and others for having flaws or limitations?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Given that it rules <strong>Capricorn</strong>, <em>Saturn\'s placement in its own sign</em> plays an important role with this New Moon: If you want to know how Saturn\'s journey in <strong>Capricorn</strong> will impact you personally in the next three years, feel free to purchase my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, <a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-recorded-webinars/\">on my website</a>, <em>or</em> for a quick preview <a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/5067/\">check out my 30-minute excerpt of the webinar</a>\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>Saturn conjuncts Mercury in <strong>Capricorn</strong></em>. This reminds us of the power of our mind; that our thoughts and words matter. What am I doing, career-wise? What is the long-term plan? How can I honor and share those goals with others in a clear and honest way? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">It\'s time to seriously think about what no longer works. As best as you can, investigate your thought processes: What feels no longer useful in my approach? What if I got real about that? What might be possible if I took 5% more responsibility for my inner dialog, and the energy those thoughts disperse?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>To sum all of this up:</strong> We are invited to become mature, responsible planetary citizens, while honoring our individuality -- in other words, making a difference, one by one -- even when it seems as though we are too little to create a big shift on our own. No matter how small it may seem, every ripple moves something, changes something...</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">This cosmic combo also directs our attention to our bottom lines. What matters most to me? What are my priorities? Am I living my truth, and thus loving my goals? Where is it best to be flexible, and where must I remain focused and in alignment with my commitments? When have I felt the happiest? What if I committed 5% more to the things, people and places in my life that make me happy? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Inner strength and self-reliance come almost entirely from dealing with adversity. Obstacles are a part of life -- they show us where we have an opportunity to become more capable -- and also where we have gone out of alignment with outer reality or inner truth. Am I on the right track, as best as I can tell? Am I walking my own path? Or someone elses? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">What obstacles can I see or sense from here? What if there was value in those obstacles? Could I send them gratitude for being given the opportunity to get back into greater alignment with myself and reality?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Choose wisely for 2018: participate consciously in the evolution of existence on this planet; not from a place of fear, but from a place of knowing your inner strength and your own personal power -- the power of your heart and your humanity! Trust your inner truth! Feel free to watch my New Moon video as well :-)</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are also about to enter Eclipse season, as the first of two Eclipses becomes exact on Jan. 31st; I\'ll be talking more about this in my next Monthly Forecasting Forum on Feb. 3rd.

We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Social gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius.

An inner awareness needs to be developed in order to see what needs adjusting -- this aspect calls for flexibility.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We experience an internal stress between our masculine energies (assertiveness/aggression) and our need to express our unique spark (and the desire to make a difference).</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are being asked to go within and look at our personal goals and desires -- and reach a new perspective on how we go about achieving them. Are we driven by personal resistance and rebellion, or motivated to positively impact humanity?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Once we get clear about our deepest motivations, we will discover new ways to move forward and embrace our uniqueness in a healthy way; we can also learn how to demonstrate our strength and power more authentically -- from a place of love and abundance, rather than fear and limitation. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">How might you get in touch with your inner genius and share it with a true desire to empower others?  What \"old\" behaviors can now be released? </span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">What might a deep, passionate connection to my vision of my future self look like?</span> What might be possible if I could get 5% more comfortable with being uncomfortable?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-26 degrees of <strong>Scorpio</strong> or <strong>Aries</strong>?

A book, a song, a movie, someone else\'s words… allow the Universe to speak to you. Open your mind to a higher vibration -- and remember, opportunities are openings... they aren\'t necessarily handed to us... we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.

If something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic… allow it to be.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Another Eclipse-related phenomenon: not only do Eclipses bring up uncertainty in us, they might also leave us nervous, anxious, unsettled and disoriented. As best as you can, observe your feelings and stay grounded in the \"here and now\". Connect to your intuition and inner wisdom; they will help carry you through this period.

Last but not least, Eclipse season begins on Sunday and runs until Feb. 25th.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>There will also be three <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week</strong>: Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning (for 2 hours), Friday morning (for a little over 8.5 hours), and Sunday evening (for a little over 5 hours).</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday (January 15th): </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day.</b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> It will journey there <b>until Wednesday very early morning. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, be truthful with yourself about where you are at: Do you actually have a realistic view about what is so, right now, in your life? Not what you wish it to be or what you would like it to be or where you see yourself going.... What is so right now? Once you know where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\", whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday very early morning, </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">becomes exact at 1:59am EST.</span><b> We started to feel this aspect from Friday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday morning. </b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Until Friday, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">23-27 degrees</span> of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>?

We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support professional or personal goals. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: Where could I really dig in to solve a problem?

The next section of this forecast will dig in to this in more detail; you may also want to watch my New Moon video :-) </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is the first New Moon of the year and since <strong>Capricorn</strong> represents the quest for mastery on the physical plane, some useful questions you can ask yourself include: </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">What is my relationship to the physical? Do I respect the laws of matter? Am I going about things in a realistic way? How committed am I really? Where does my inner compass point? What am I willing to undergo to overcome adversity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The highest vibration of <strong>Capricorn</strong> is the development of responsibility, resourcefulness, reliability, self-mastery, the ability to set realistic goals and healthy boundaries. The next 28 days are a perfect time to work on these areas. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, prepare for the future, make commitments and recognize responsibilities -- in other words, nurture your dreams in a realistic manner. Focus on setting and achieving practical and attainable long-term goals, one step at a time, one day at a time -- this is not about immediate results, it\'s about the quality of the foundation you are building.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> also invites us to set the kind of realistic limits and boundaries that allow everyone involved to learn from the consequences of their choices. Where in my life am I able to set realistic limits and boundaries? Where is that an obstacle in your life? What am I afraid of in those moments? What would be the worst of that?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> relates directly to the level of our maturity: We start out on a more instinctual, survival level; this stage is basically fear-based, with a scarcity mentality. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Once we get better at living on the earth plane -- and we understand the rules better -- we transition to goal-oriented ambition and self-challenge, seeking recognition and rewards. This phase is still sometimes fear-based, but already we are taking more responsibility for our part in achieving things, and we are manifesting on the physical plane. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Eventually, as we grow spiritually and learn more about the laws of matter, earthly ambitions are often replaced by some form of spiritual service. We recognize that personal gain is not the only (or even the highest) goal, we see that when we contribute to others, we are also giving to ourselves -- perhaps we also surpass the physical appearance of separation and connect to life in it\'s highest form.</span> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">At this level, we are living in pure accordance with our conscience, from a place of maturity and inner guidance.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: What if I developed 5% more discipline? Integrity? What about 5% more commitment towards something that aligns both with myself and with life itself? What would 100% responsibility for my life look like? What if I responded to situations in a way that respects and serves all those involved? </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">  </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> <em>This New Moon aligns with Venus and Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong> and squares Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>.</em> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">First let\'s focus on the alignment with Venus and Pluto: This conveys an extra-potent message about our perception of physical reality -- time and space -- and about our relationship to love, our values, power or feeling empowered. Ask yourself: If I truly had choice in the matter, what kind of future would I choose to step into? Who would I choose to connect with? Why? Who would I not choose to connect with? Why not?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Venus in conjunction with the New Moon</em> advises us to choose wisely and from the heart. Ask yourself: Am I true to myself? Am I working too hard without making enough progress? Am I expressing my feelings truthfully? Or hiding my true feelings from others? Am I in touch with what\'s important to me -- especially in regards to relationships? Am I happy? Could I love and respect myself and life 5% more?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">With this many planets in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, it is important for us to take breaks — or simply slow down and allow ourselves to tune in. It’s important to explore ways to stay heart-centered and grounded -- seek tools or people to help you with that exploration. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Now let\'s talk about <em>the square to Uranus</em> -- the energy of freedom, innovation and reform. This combo focuses our attention on the right use of power -- which respects the rights, needs, and gifts of all beings. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: Where do I need to be more courageous? Where do I need to \"think different\"? What if I became 5% more aware of my personal power? Where might I have given it away to others? And how might I begin to reclaim it? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Remember that change is not always progress. Consider all options first and then respond, rather than reacting; stay flexible and be willing to entertain new possibilities. What if -- in small or large ways -- I could help birth a new age, and with it a new world, one based on heart-centered consciousness and individual freedoms?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>The New Moon also sextiles Mars in <strong>Scorpio</strong> and Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong></em>. This is an opportunity for healing our collective wounds around feeling spiritually disconnected in our world of accomplishments. We get a chance to connect more deeply with others and bring a powerful approach to what we are currently building and working towards. Our actions tend to be in greater alignment with our deepest desires.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Ask yourself: What if I could be productive and gentle with myself at the same time? What would a compassionate approach guarantee? What is pushing or pulling at me? How could my actions become a source of empowerment? What if I allowed all actions to flow from a deep sense of authentic connectedness? What if I forgave myself and others for having flaws or limitations?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Given that it rules <strong>Capricorn</strong>, <em>Saturn\'s placement in its own sign</em> plays an important role with this New Moon: If you want to know how Saturn\'s journey in <strong>Capricorn</strong> will impact you personally in the next three years, feel free to purchase my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, <a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-recorded-webinars/\">on my website</a>, <em>or</em> for a quick preview <a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/5067/\">check out my 30-minute excerpt of the webinar</a>\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>Saturn conjuncts Mercury in <strong>Capricorn</strong></em>. This reminds us of the power of our mind; that our thoughts and words matter. What am I doing, career-wise? What is the long-term plan? How can I honor and share those goals with others in a clear and honest way? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">It\'s time to seriously think about what no longer works. As best as you can, investigate your thought processes: What feels no longer useful in my approach? What if I got real about that? What might be possible if I took 5% more responsibility for my inner dialog, and the energy those thoughts disperse?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>To sum all of this up:</strong> We are invited to become mature, responsible planetary citizens, while honoring our individuality -- in other words, making a difference, one by one -- even when it seems as though we are too little to create a big shift on our own. No matter how small it may seem, every ripple moves something, changes something...</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">This cosmic combo also directs our attention to our bottom lines. What matters most to me? What are my priorities? Am I living my truth, and thus loving my goals? Where is it best to be flexible, and where must I remain focused and in alignment with my commitments? When have I felt the happiest? What if I committed 5% more to the things, people and places in my life that make me happy? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Inner strength and self-reliance come almost entirely from dealing with adversity. Obstacles are a part of life -- they show us where we have an opportunity to become more capable -- and also where we have gone out of alignment with outer reality or inner truth. Am I on the right track, as best as I can tell? Am I walking my own path? Or someone elses? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">What obstacles can I see or sense from here? What if there was value in those obstacles? Could I send them gratitude for being given the opportunity to get back into greater alignment with myself and reality?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Choose wisely for 2018: participate consciously in the evolution of existence on this planet; not from a place of fear, but from a place of knowing your inner strength and your own personal power -- the power of your heart and your humanity! Trust your inner truth! Feel free to watch my New Moon video as well :-)</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are also about to enter Eclipse season, as the first of two Eclipses becomes exact on Jan. 31st; I\'ll be talking more about this in my next Monthly Forecasting Forum on Feb. 3rd.

If possible, try to defer any major brand-new projects until after Feb. 25th, when this Eclipse season is over. If something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic… allow it to be.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Another Eclipse-related phenomenon: not only do Eclipses bring up uncertainty in us, they might also leave us nervous, anxious, unsettled and disoriented. As best as you can, observe your feelings and stay grounded in the \"here and now\". Connect to your intuition and inner wisdom; they will help carry you through this period. Remember: it\'s temporary and we are receiving an upgrade -- that\'s a good thing!</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Just like upgrading a computer, you will get all the information you need, as soon as the upgrade is complete -- so as best you can, be patient.

Take a breath. Relax. Find your peace. Don\'t require the Universe to move more rapidly than it is. It is actually working perfectly, and it will prove that to you if you will give it a chance. Really. Trust me on this.” — Neale Donald Walsh</span>\r\n<h3>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement:</h3>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are getting closer to the launch of my new online community!</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> Right now we are aiming for Jan.16th or 17th -- keep your fingers crossed for me ;-) I\'m super-excited, and at the same time, I also sometimes stress out about the scope of this amazing new beginning for myself and everyone out there who will join us. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">But as my spiritual coach likes to remind me, \"Life is an ongoing experiment\" and \"True professionalism is about being able to be flexible and kind about unforeseen situations that come up, allowing ourselves to learn from them and finding out how to make creative adjustments.\"</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>This week\'s headline item<span style=\"color: #000000;\">s</span></b>: the New Moon in Capricorn becomes exact on Tuesday; Venus changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius on Wednesday, and the Sun will do the same on Friday. Last but not least, Eclipse season begins on Sunday and runs until Feb. 25th.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>There will also be three <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week</strong>: Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning (for 2 hours), Friday morning (for a little over 8.5 hours), and Sunday evening (for a little over 5 hours).</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday (January 15th): </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day.</b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> It will journey there <b>until Wednesday very early morning. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, be truthful with yourself about where you are at: Do you actually have a realistic view about what is so, right now, in your life? Not what you wish it to be or what you would like it to be or where you see yourself going.... What is so right now? Once you know where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\", whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday very early morning, </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">becomes exact at 1:59am EST.</span><b> We started to feel this aspect from Friday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday morning. </b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Until Friday, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">23-27 degrees</span> of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday late evening: </b><i>an opportune long-term Jupiter/Pluto aspect </i>that we <b>started to feel back on Tuesday Jan. 3rd becomes exact at 11:13pm EST; it will remain strong until Wednesday, Jan. 31st </b>and brings with it an opportunity to deepen our relationships, business and personal alike. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">A positive attitude and deeper trust in our connections with others gives us the chance to build something meaningful and share our passions with them. We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support professional or personal goals. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: Where could I really dig in to solve a problem? How might passion help deliver on my long-term goals? How could other people\'s resources support my ability to create transformation? How might they help me stand in my power?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><b><i> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">17-21 degrees</span> </i></b><i>of</i><b><i> Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces </i></b><i>or <strong>Virgo</strong></i><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces). </i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday (Jan. 16th): </b><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>t</em><b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">he Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</span></i></b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day </b></span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">(see Monday for details).</span> </span></span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday evening, at 9:17pm ES</b>T<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,</span><em> the Moon aligns with the Sun in almost 27 degrees of Capricorn, </em>launching </span><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">a new Moon cycle.</span> </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is a good time to go within, to seed anything we would like to accomplish for the next 28 days, and maybe even beyond. The next section of this forecast will dig in to this in more detail; you may also want to watch my New Moon video :-) </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is the first New Moon of the year and since <strong>Capricorn</strong> represents the quest for mastery on the physical plane, some useful questions you can ask yourself include: </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">What is my relationship to the physical? Do I respect the laws of matter? Am I going about things in a realistic way? How committed am I really? Where does my inner compass point? What am I willing to undergo to overcome adversity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The highest vibration of <strong>Capricorn</strong> is the development of responsibility, resourcefulness, reliability, self-mastery, the ability to set realistic goals and healthy boundaries. The next 28 days are a perfect time to work on these areas. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, prepare for the future, make commitments and recognize responsibilities -- in other words, nurture your dreams in a realistic manner. Focus on setting and achieving practical and attainable long-term goals, one step at a time, one day at a time -- this is not about immediate results, it\'s about the quality of the foundation you are building.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> also invites us to set the kind of realistic limits and boundaries that allow everyone involved to learn from the consequences of their choices. Where in my life am I able to set realistic limits and boundaries? Where is that an obstacle in your life? What am I afraid of in those moments? What would be the worst of that?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> relates directly to the level of our maturity: We start out on a more instinctual, survival level; this stage is basically fear-based, with a scarcity mentality. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Once we get better at living on the earth plane -- and we understand the rules better -- we transition to goal-oriented ambition and self-challenge, seeking recognition and rewards. This phase is still sometimes fear-based, but already we are taking more responsibility for our part in achieving things, and we are manifesting on the physical plane. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Eventually, as we grow spiritually and learn more about the laws of matter, earthly ambitions are often replaced by some form of spiritual service. We recognize that personal gain is not the only (or even the highest) goal, we see that when we contribute to others, we are also giving to ourselves -- perhaps we also surpass the physical appearance of separation and connect to life in it\'s highest form.</span> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">At this level, we are living in pure accordance with our conscience, from a place of maturity and inner guidance.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: What if I developed 5% more discipline? Integrity? What about 5% more commitment towards something that aligns both with myself and with life itself? What would 100% responsibility for my life look like? What if I responded to situations in a way that respects and serves all those involved? </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">  </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> <em>This New Moon aligns with Venus and Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong> and squares Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>.</em> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">First let\'s focus on the alignment with Venus and Pluto: This conveys an extra-potent message about our perception of physical reality -- time and space -- and about our relationship to love, our values, power or feeling empowered. Ask yourself: If I truly had choice in the matter, what kind of future would I choose to step into? Who would I choose to connect with? Why? Who would I not choose to connect with? Why not?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Venus in conjunction with the New Moon</em> advises us to choose wisely and from the heart. Ask yourself: Am I true to myself? Am I working too hard without making enough progress? Am I expressing my feelings truthfully? Or hiding my true feelings from others? Am I in touch with what\'s important to me -- especially in regards to relationships? Am I happy? Could I love and respect myself and life 5% more?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">With this many planets in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, it is important for us to take breaks — or simply slow down and allow ourselves to tune in. It’s important to explore ways to stay heart-centered and grounded -- seek tools or people to help you with that exploration. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Now let\'s talk about <em>the square to Uranus</em> -- the energy of freedom, innovation and reform. This combo focuses our attention on the right use of power -- which respects the rights, needs, and gifts of all beings. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: Where do I need to be more courageous? Where do I need to \"think different\"? What if I became 5% more aware of my personal power? Where might I have given it away to others? And how might I begin to reclaim it? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Remember that change is not always progress. Consider all options first and then respond, rather than reacting; stay flexible and be willing to entertain new possibilities. What if -- in small or large ways -- I could help birth a new age, and with it a new world, one based on heart-centered consciousness and individual freedoms?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>The New Moon also sextiles Mars in <strong>Scorpio</strong> and Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong></em>. This is an opportunity to heal our collective wounds around any sense of spiritual disconnection in our world of accomplishments. We get a chance to connect more deeply with others and bring a powerful approach to what we are building and working towards. Our actions tend to be in greater alignment with our deepest desires.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Ask yourself: What if I could be productive and gentle with myself at the same time? What would a compassionate approach guarantee? What is pushing or pulling at me? How could my actions become a source of empowerment? What if I allowed all actions to flow from a deep sense of authentic connectedness? What if I forgave myself and others for having flaws or limitations?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Given that it rules <strong>Capricorn</strong>, <em>Saturn\'s placement in its own sign</em> plays an important role with this New Moon: If you want to know how Saturn\'s journey in <strong>Capricorn</strong> will impact you personally in the next three years, feel free to purchase my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, <a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-recorded-webinars/\">on my website</a>, <em>or</em> for a quick preview <a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/5067/\">check out my 30-minute excerpt of the webinar</a>\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>Saturn conjuncts Mercury in <strong>Capricorn</strong></em>. This reminds us of the power of our mind; that our thoughts and words matter. What am I doing, career-wise? What is the long-term plan? How can I honor and share those goals with others in a clear and honest way? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">It\'s time to seriously think about what no longer works. As best as you can, investigate your thought processes: What feels no longer useful in my approach? What if I got real about that? What might be possible if I took 5% more responsibility for my inner dialog, and the energy those thoughts disperse?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>To sum all of this up:</strong> We are invited to become mature, responsible planetary citizens, while honoring our individuality -- in other words, making a difference, one by one -- even when it seems as though we are too little to create a big shift on our own. No matter how small it may seem, every ripple moves something, changes something...</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">This cosmic combo also directs our attention to our bottom lines. What matters most to me? What are my priorities? Am I living my truth, and thus loving my goals? Where is it best to be flexible, and where must I remain focused and in alignment with my commitments? When have I felt the happiest? What if I committed 5% more to the things, people and places in my life that make me happy? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Inner strength and self-reliance come almost entirely from dealing with adversity. Obstacles are a part of life -- they show us where we have an opportunity to become more capable -- and also where we have gone out of alignment with outer reality or inner truth. Am I on the right track, as best as I can tell? Am I walking my own path? Or someone elses? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">What obstacles can I see or sense from here? What if there was value in those obstacles? Could I send them gratitude for being given the opportunity to get back into greater alignment with myself and reality?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Choose wisely for 2018: participate consciously in the evolution of existence on this planet; not from a place of fear, but from a place of knowing your inner strength and your own personal power -- the power of your heart and your humanity! Trust your inner truth! Feel free to watch my New Moon video as well :-)</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are also about to enter Eclipse season, as the first of two Eclipses becomes exact on Jan. 31st; I\'ll be talking more about this in my next Monthly Forecasting Forum on Feb. 3rd.

If something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic… allow it to be.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Another Eclipse-related phenomenon: not only do Eclipses bring up uncertainty in us, they might also leave us nervous, anxious, unsettled and disoriented.

Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, be truthful with yourself about where you are at: Do you actually have a realistic view about what is so, right now, in your life? Not what you wish it to be or what you would like it to be or where you see yourself going.... What is so right now? Once you know where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\", whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday very early morning, </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">becomes exact at 1:59am EST.</span><b> We started to feel this aspect from Friday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday morning. </b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Until Friday, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them.

The next section of this forecast will dig in to this in more detail; you may also want to watch my New Moon video :-) </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is the first New Moon of the year and since <strong>Capricorn</strong> represents the quest for mastery on the physical plane, some useful questions you can ask yourself include: </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">What is my relationship to the physical? Do I respect the laws of matter? Am I going about things in a realistic way? How committed am I really? Where does my inner compass point? What am I willing to undergo to overcome adversity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The highest vibration of <strong>Capricorn</strong> is the development of responsibility, resourcefulness, reliability, self-mastery, the ability to set realistic goals and healthy boundaries. The next 28 days are a perfect time to work on these areas. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, prepare for the future, make commitments and recognize responsibilities -- in other words, nurture your dreams in a realistic manner. Focus on setting and achieving practical and attainable long-term goals, one step at a time, one day at a time -- this is not about immediate results, it\'s about the quality of the foundation you are building.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> also invites us to set the kind of realistic limits and boundaries that allow everyone involved to learn from the consequences of their choices. Where in my life am I able to set realistic limits and boundaries? Where is that an obstacle in your life? What am I afraid of in those moments? What would be the worst of that?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> relates directly to the level of our maturity: We start out on a more instinctual, survival level; this stage is basically fear-based, with a scarcity mentality. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Once we get better at living on the earth plane -- and we understand the rules better -- we transition to goal-oriented ambition and self-challenge, seeking recognition and rewards. This phase is still sometimes fear-based, but already we are taking more responsibility for our part in achieving things, and we are manifesting on the physical plane. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Eventually, as we grow spiritually and learn more about the laws of matter, earthly ambitions are often replaced by some form of spiritual service. We recognize that personal gain is not the only (or even the highest) goal, we see that when we contribute to others, we are also giving to ourselves -- perhaps we also surpass the physical appearance of separation and connect to life in it\'s highest form.</span> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">At this level, we are living in pure accordance with our conscience, from a place of maturity and inner guidance.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: What if I developed 5% more discipline? Integrity? What about 5% more commitment towards something that aligns both with myself and with life itself? What would 100% responsibility for my life look like? What if I responded to situations in a way that respects and serves all those involved? </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">  </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> <em>This New Moon aligns with Venus and Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong> and squares Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>.</em> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">First let\'s focus on the alignment with Venus and Pluto: This conveys an extra-potent message about our perception of physical reality -- time and space -- and about our relationship to love, our values, power or feeling empowered. Ask yourself: If I truly had choice in the matter, what kind of future would I choose to step into? Who would I choose to connect with? Why? Who would I not choose to connect with? Why not?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Venus in conjunction with the New Moon</em> advises us to choose wisely and from the heart. Ask yourself: Am I true to myself? Am I working too hard without making enough progress? Am I expressing my feelings truthfully? Or hiding my true feelings from others? Am I in touch with what\'s important to me -- especially in regards to relationships? Am I happy? Could I love and respect myself and life 5% more?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">With this many planets in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, it is important for us to take breaks — or simply slow down and allow ourselves to tune in. It’s important to explore ways to stay heart-centered and grounded -- seek tools or people to help you with that exploration. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Now let\'s talk about <em>the square to Uranus</em> -- the energy of freedom, innovation and reform. This combo focuses our attention on the right use of power -- which respects the rights, needs, and gifts of all beings. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: Where do I need to be more courageous? Where do I need to \"think different\"? What if I became 5% more aware of my personal power? Where might I have given it away to others? And how might I begin to reclaim it? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Remember that change is not always progress. Consider all options first and then respond, rather than reacting; stay flexible and be willing to entertain new possibilities. What if -- in small or large ways -- I could help birth a new age, and with it a new world, one based on heart-centered consciousness and individual freedoms?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>The New Moon also sextiles Mars in <strong>Scorpio</strong> and Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong></em>. This is an opportunity to heal our collective wounds around any sense of spiritual disconnection in our world of accomplishments. We get a chance to connect more deeply with others and bring a powerful approach to what we are building and working towards. Our actions tend to be in greater alignment with our deepest desires.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Ask yourself: What if I could be productive and gentle with myself at the same time? What would a compassionate approach make possible? What is pushing or pulling at me? How could my actions become a source of empowerment? What if I allowed all actions to flow from a deep sense of authentic connectedness? What if I forgave myself and others for having flaws or limitations?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Given that it rules <strong>Capricorn</strong>, <em>Saturn\'s placement in its own sign</em> plays an important role with this New Moon: If you want to know how Saturn\'s journey in <strong>Capricorn</strong> will impact you personally in the next three years, feel free to purchase my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, <a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-recorded-webinars/\">on my website</a>, <em>or</em> for a quick preview <a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/5067/\">check out my 30-minute excerpt of the webinar</a>\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>Saturn conjuncts Mercury in <strong>Capricorn</strong></em>. This reminds us of the power of our mind; that our thoughts and words matter. What am I doing, career-wise? What is the long-term plan? How can I honor and share those goals with others in a clear and honest way? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">It\'s time to seriously think about what no longer works. As best as you can, investigate your thought processes: What feels no longer useful in my approach? What if I got real about that? What might be possible if I took 5% more responsibility for my inner dialog, and the energy those thoughts disperse?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>To sum all of this up:</strong> We are invited to become mature, responsible planetary citizens, while honoring our individuality -- in other words, making a difference, one by one -- even when it seems as though we are too little to create a big shift on our own. No matter how small it may seem, every ripple moves something, changes something...</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">This cosmic combo also directs our attention to our bottom lines. What matters most to me? What are my priorities? Am I living my truth, and thus loving my goals? Where is it best to be flexible, and where must I remain focused and in alignment with my commitments? When have I felt the happiest? What if I committed 5% more to the things, people and places in my life that make me happy? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Inner strength and self-reliance come almost entirely from dealing with adversity. Obstacles are a part of life -- they show us where we have an opportunity to become more capable -- and also where we have gone out of alignment with outer reality or inner truth. Am I on the right track, as best as I can tell? Am I walking my own path? Or someone elses? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">What obstacles can I see or sense from here? What if there was value in those obstacles? Could I send them gratitude for being given the opportunity to get back into greater alignment with myself and reality?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Choose wisely for 2018: participate consciously in the evolution of existence on this planet; not from a place of fear, but from a place of knowing your inner strength and your own personal power -- the power of your heart and your humanity! Trust your inner truth! Feel free to watch my New Moon video as well :-)</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are also about to enter Eclipse season, as the first of two Eclipses becomes exact on Jan. 31st; I\'ll be talking more about this in my next Monthly Forecasting Forum on Feb. 3rd.

If possible, try to defer any major brand-new projects until after Feb. 25th, when this Eclipse season is over. If something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic… allow it to be.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Another Eclipse-related phenomenon: not only do Eclipses bring up uncertainty in us, they might also leave us nervous, anxious, unsettled and disoriented. As best as you can, observe your feelings and stay grounded in the \"here and now\". Connect to your intuition and inner wisdom; they will help carry you through this period. Remember: it\'s temporary and we are receiving an upgrade -- that\'s a good thing!</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Just like upgrading a computer, you will get all the information you need, as soon as the upgrade is complete -- so as best you can, be patient. This does not mean that we need to drop everything; it just means it\'s wise to check in with your higher Self -- do this whichever way feels right to you ;-) </span>\r\n\r\n<b>A head\'s up for next</b> <b>Monday (Jan. 22nd): </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Moon remains in <em>creative, sensitive</em> </span></i><b><i>Pisces </i></b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and </span><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">VoC</span></a><b> until 1:27am EST </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(see Friday afternoon for details). </span><b>At 1:27am EST</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, </span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Moon moves into </span></i><b><i>Aries</i></b><b>, where it will journey until Wednesday morning.

INSERT INTO `wpfb_posts` VALUES('7314', '4', '2018-02-18 15:31:27', '2018-02-18 20:31:27', '<h3>Forecast for Mon., Feb. 19th  - Sun., Feb, 25th, 2018</h3>\r\n<img class=\"size-full wp-image-7271 alignleft\" src=\"https://astrologercoach.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/AstrologerCoach_SonjaFrancis_the-Nebula.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"270\" height=\"180\" />For me personally, last week had two main messages. On the one hand, I heard \"relax, enjoy, be with what is\" -- this felt very much connected to Venus in Pisces.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, I was quite aware of my past-based patterns, and I practiced being kind to myself and asking questions, rather than dwell on the patterns themselves -- this felt connected to Jupiter in Scorpio. Of course, the Eclipse on Thursday threw me for a loop -- it took place in my 4th House. This is the area of home and family... And there were definitely some unexpected things going on there that had to be addressed. How are <em>you</em> moving with these energies?\r\n\r\n<b>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement: </b>\r\nI\'m still offering a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\"><b>super-dooper special launch discount</b></a> on site membership. This is only for those of you who are already part of my mailing list or have joined me on my social media platforms. For more info, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/aEhibk\">click here</a>\r\n\r\n<b>It gets better:</b> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\">join the Star or SuperStar Membership</a> <b>before Feb. 25th</b>, you will also receive my latest Forecasting Forum (about the Eclipses and how they impact you personally) for FREE ;-) Plus, you get to join the next Forecasting Forum for free also!\r\n\r\nNot only is the membership deeply discounted <strong>right now</strong>, your <b>price will be locked in for life</b>. If my prices go up at any point in the future, your\'s won\'t -- and that applies for as long as my website is in existence, and as long as you remain an active member ;-) -- <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\">so</a>..<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\">.join now! </a>\r\n\r\nIt\'s important to be clear about something here: after this four-week introductory period (which ends on March 10th), my Weekly Forecast will only be available to my online community. Why? <a href=\"https://goo.gl/aEhibk\">Click here</a> to read more about it\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: the first Quarter Moon in Gemini becomes exact on Friday; Eclipse season ends on Sunday, and among other things, that means you can start to take actions on your Solar Eclipse intentions that day -- and Jupiter begins its Station-phase on Sunday as well.\r\n\r\nThere will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Tuesday morning (for 8 hours), Thursday morning (for almost 12.5 hours), and Saturday afternoon (for a little over 7 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (February 19th): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><i>pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries </i><strong>all day.</strong></b> It will remain there <b>until Tuesday afternoon</b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday</strong><strong> </strong><b>morning</b> starts out harmoniously and with an urge to explore something new that helps us understand the bigger picture all around.\r\n\r\nLater (<b>in the evening</b>), we are invited to make adjustments and find creative solutions around personal desires and needs, versus our deep passion and focus on long-term goals. As best as you can, allow yourself to make space for both; flexibility and adaptability are key if we mean to move forward with our plans and projects...\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (February 20th): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><i>pioneering, fast-paced </i><strong><b><i>Aries</i></b></strong><strong><em> </em>until 2:12pm EST </strong>(see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:11am EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for 8 hours, <strong>until 2:12pm EST. </strong>Use this intuitive time to connect to people that can enthusiastically support your projects and share with them what you have going on.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday morning until early afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 2:12pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves</i><b> </b><i>into steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Thursday evening.</strong> We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.\r\n\r\nIn other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (February 21st):</strong> <em>t</em><em>he Moon remains in steady, peaceful</em><strong><em> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> </em>all day </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon,</strong> <i>a Venus/Neptune alignment in 13.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> </i>becomes exact at 1:42pm EST. <b>We started to feel this aspect on Monday night, it will be strong until Friday night</b>. It asks us to dissolve anything that keeps us from opening our hearts more fully. This connection makes us dream of Soul connections with others.\r\n\r\nWe are highly romantic and may turn a blind eye to \"what is\", in pursuit of a fantasy that we want or need to have fulfilled. Beware of anything that sounds too good to be true -- whether that\'s in connection with people or money -- it might indeed be \"too good to be true\" ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus or Libra</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Mercury/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 3:23pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning on; it will remain strong until this Thursday. </strong>This is an opportunity to take responsibility for our thinking structures and be really honest with ourselves.\r\n\r\nHow can we get the most from this opportunity?

We get to see where we need to embrace them more fully, so that we can use them in a healthy way, without getting lost in the lower vibrations of their expression.\r\n\r\n<b>Until March 20th</b>, we have to face what this planet is trying to communicate to us: Jupiter represents our desire to seek insight via the gaining of knowledge. Some of this planet\'s keywords: morality, gratitude, hope, honor, law. Jupiter is the planet of possibility, optimism, and growth (including mental and spiritual growth). Jupiter is also associated with a sense of humor, goodwill, and mercy.\r\n\r\nThe lower expressions of Jupiter include \"Oh, the heck with it\", \"I deserve this and more\", \"the rules do not apply to me\" -- generally speaking: too much of a good thing, blind optimism, excess, stretching the truth, overindulgence.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> 21-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Taurus, Leo or Aquarius</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this station phase. This is also true for those of us who have our</i><i> or Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter rules Sagittarius, so Sagittarius will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (February 25th): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><em><i>protective, nurturing</i></em><strong><em><i> </i>Cancer </em>all day </strong>(see Saturday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Venus/Mars aspect </em>becomes exact at 7:01am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday night (Feb. 27th). </strong>This aspect asks that we stretch ourselves with regard to the feminine/masculine dynamic as it manifests both “inside” and “outside”: A shift needs to occur.\r\n\r\nThis can show up in several ways, either through romantic and sexual tensions that we might experience with others. We may tease each other, flirt with each other and/or play hard to get. Or we may find ourselves arguing in a very passionate way with the opposite sex. Competitiveness, anger, frustration, or angst might be present. Either way, this can be a very passionate time.\r\n\r\nBalancing and integrating masculine and feminine energies within ourselves would be very useful at this time.\r\n\r\nIf we experience these energies internally, there may be a desire for adventure -- or just for being still and \"adventuring\" into ourselves, our heart-space, our inner universe. The challenge might be that we feel pulled in two directions -- on the one hand, we want to feel \"one\" with others and connect to them through love and kindness. On the other hand, we want to be free and explore something new, outside of our familiar environment.\r\n\r\nWhat might it look like, if you made room for both of these energies?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in 15-22 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra or Aries</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars is the ruler of Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Neptune alignment in 13.5 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:26am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Monday night (Feb. 26th). </strong>This aspect could take our connection to our intuition even deeper -- if we can allow it.\r\n\r\nSpiritual and creative endeavors are highly recommended during this time -- especially those involving music or creative writing. This is definitely a highly imaginative time. As best as you can, go with the flow and -- just for now -- let go of wanting to figure it all out.\r\n\r\nThe highest vibration of this aspect is idealistic, highly intuitive and romantic; on a lower level vibration, we might not see reality clearly and we might easily feel overwhelmed. We might get confused or disappointed; things might seem a little foggy, especially when it comes to communication, processing information, public transportation or daily traffic.\r\n\r\nCheck in with others before signing any documents or making long-term decisions for those three days: get reality checks! As best as you can, let go and let flow ;-) On the other hand, trust the divine timing of things and have faith that everything will turn out exactly as it needs to.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of  </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Sun/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 12:46pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (Feb. 27th). </strong>This aspect provides an opportunity to become aware of what needs to happen if we are to accomplish something concrete.\r\n\r\nWe have common sense at our disposal; we are willing to look reality in the eye and take responsibility for our life and how we live it. This is an opportunity to be more aware of our heart connection to the divine and to our intuitive selves -- and how it can benefit us both in terms of long-term goals, and in what we are focused on in the here and now. Again, remember: opportunities are openings, they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 5-9 degrees</i><b><i> </i></b><i>of </i><b><i>Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>?

Of course, the Eclipse on Thursday threw me for a loop -- it took place in my 4th House. This is the area of home and family...

Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive.

We may tease each other, flirt with each other and/or play hard to get. Or we may find ourselves arguing in a very passionate way with the opposite sex. Competitiveness, anger, frustration, or angst might be present. Either way, this can be a very passionate time.\r\n\r\nBalancing and integrating masculine and feminine energies within ourselves would be very useful at this time.\r\n\r\nIf we experience these energies internally, there may be a desire for adventure -- or just for being still and \"adventuring\" into ourselves, our heart-space, our inner universe. The challenge might be that we feel pulled in two directions -- on the one hand, we want to feel \"one\" with others and connect to them through love and kindness.

This is an opportunity to be more aware of our heart connection to the divine and to our intuitive selves -- and how it can benefit us both in terms of long-term goals, and in what we are focused on in the here and now.

Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive.

This connection makes us dream of Soul connections with others.\r\n\r\nWe are highly romantic and may turn a blind eye to \"what is\", in pursuit of a fantasy that we want or need to have fulfilled. Beware of anything that sounds too good to be true -- whether that\'s in connection with people or money -- it might indeed be \"too good to be true\" ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">10-17 degrees</span> of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>?

As best as you can, allow your intuitive body to guide you. Commit to understanding your conditioning and thinking processes.\r\n\r\nIf we take this chance to see things more clearly and connect to ourselves more lovingly, we could get a good dose of reality, and an ability to focus on long-term issues. Remember: opportunities are openings; they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">5-9 degrees</span> of Capricorn, Scorpio, Pisces or Virgo? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (Feb. 22nd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <b><i>Taurus</i></b></em><strong><em> </em>until 7:07pm EST </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 6:46am EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 12.5 hours, <strong>until 7:07pm EST</strong>. Use this intuitive time to balance your desire for comfort and security with your desire for a deeper, emotional connections with yourself and others.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

If we set some intentions on Feb. 17th, 18th or 19th, we are now ready to make some adjustments. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. In fact, we may feel compelled to act, stirring up anxiety or overwhelm, so just go one breath at a time.\r\n\r\nRemember, we\'re still in Eclipse Season until Sunday, and thus don\'t have all the information we need to move brand-new projects forward yet. Allow for changes, remain flexible and adaptable, find creative solutions in day-to-day interactions with others. Allow for new downloads and for the release of “old” codes and conditioning. Simply put: an open mind and heart will serve us best (that\'s true in general, but especially true until Feb. 25th ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 2-7 degrees of</i><b><i> Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

Take a breath. Relax. Find your peace. Don\'t require the Universe to move more rapidly than it is. It is actually working perfectly, and it will prove that to you if you will give it a chance. Really. Trust me on this.” — Neale Donald Walsh</span>\r\n<h3>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement:</h3>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are getting closer to the launch of my new online community!</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> Right now we are aiming for Jan.16th or 17th -- keep your fingers crossed for me ;-) I\'m super-excited, and at the same time, I also sometimes stress out about the scope of this amazing new beginning for myself and everyone out there who will join us. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">But as my spiritual coach likes to remind me, \"Life is an ongoing experiment\" and \"True professionalism is about being able to be flexible and kind about unforeseen situations that come up, allowing ourselves to learn from them and finding out how to make creative adjustments.\"</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>This week\'s headline item<span style=\"color: #000000;\">s</span></b>: the New Moon in Capricorn becomes exact on Tuesday; Venus changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius on Wednesday, and the Sun will do the same on Friday. Last but not least, Eclipse season begins on Sunday and runs until Feb. 25th.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">There will also be three <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning (for 2 hours), Friday morning (for a little over 8.5 hours), and Sunday evening (for a little over 5 hours).</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday (January 15th): </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day.</b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> It will journey there <b>until Wednesday very early morning. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery. </span><!--more-->\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, be truthful with yourself about where you are at: Do you actually have a realistic view about what is so, right now, in your life? Not what you wish it to be or what you would like it to be or where you see yourself going.... What is so right now? Once you know where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\", whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday very early morning, </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">becomes exact at 1:59am EST.</span><b> We started to feel this aspect from Friday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday morning. </b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Until Friday, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">23-27 degrees</span> of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday late evening: </b><i>an opportune long-term Jupiter/Pluto aspect </i>that we <b>started to feel back on Tuesday Jan. 3rd becomes exact at 11:13pm EST; it will remain strong until Wednesday, Jan. 31st </b>and brings with it an opportunity to deepen our relationships, business and personal alike. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">A positive attitude and deeper trust in our connections with others gives us the chance to build something meaningful and share our passions with them. We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support professional or personal goals. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: Where could I really dig in to solve a problem? How might passion help deliver on my long-term goals? How could other people\'s resources support my ability to create transformation? How might they help me stand in my power?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><b><i> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">17-21 degrees</span> </i></b><i>of</i><b><i> Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces </i></b><i>or <strong>Virgo</strong></i><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces). </i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday (Jan. 16th): </b><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>t</em><b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">he Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</span></i></b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day </b></span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">(see Monday for details).</span> </span></span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday evening, at 9:17pm ES</b>T<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,</span><em> the Moon aligns with the Sun in almost 27 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong>, </em>launching </span><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">a new Moon cycle.</span> </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is a good time to go within, to seed anything we would like to accomplish for the next 28 days, and maybe even beyond. The next section of this forecast will dig in to this in more detail; you may also want to <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/commitments-integrity/\">watch my New Moon video</a> :-) </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is the first New Moon of the year and since <strong>Capricorn</strong> represents the quest for mastery on the physical plane, some useful questions you can ask yourself include: </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">What is my relationship to the physical? Do I respect the laws of matter? Am I going about things in a realistic way? How committed am I really? Where does my inner compass point? What am I willing to undergo to overcome adversity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The highest vibration of <strong>Capricorn</strong> is the development of responsibility, resourcefulness, reliability, self-mastery, the ability to set realistic goals and healthy boundaries. The next 28 days are a perfect time to work on these areas. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, prepare for the future, make commitments and recognize responsibilities -- in other words, nurture your dreams in a realistic manner. Focus on setting and achieving practical and attainable long-term goals, one step at a time, one day at a time -- this is not about immediate results, it\'s about the quality of the foundation you are building.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> also invites us to set the kind of realistic limits and boundaries that allow everyone involved to learn from the consequences of their choices. Where in my life am I able to set realistic limits and boundaries? Where is that an obstacle in your life? What am I afraid of in those moments? What would be the worst of that?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> relates directly to the level of our maturity: We start out on a more instinctual, survival level; this stage is basically fear-based, with a scarcity mentality. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Once we get better at living on the earth plane -- and we understand the rules better -- we transition to goal-oriented ambition and self-challenge, seeking recognition and rewards. This phase is still sometimes fear-based, but already we are taking more responsibility for our part in achieving things, and we are manifesting on the physical plane. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Eventually, as we grow spiritually and learn more about the laws of matter, earthly ambitions are often replaced by some form of spiritual service. We recognize that personal gain is not the only (or even the highest) goal, we see that when we contribute to others, we are also giving to ourselves -- perhaps we also surpass the physical appearance of separation and connect to life in it\'s highest form.</span> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">At this level, we are living in pure accordance with our conscience, from a place of maturity and inner guidance.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: What if I developed 5% more discipline? Integrity? What about 5% more commitment towards something that aligns both with myself and with life itself? What would 100% responsibility for my life look like? What if I responded to situations in a way that respects and serves all those involved? </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">  </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> <em>This New Moon aligns with Venus and Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong> and squares Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>.</em> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">First let\'s focus on the alignment with Venus and Pluto: This conveys an extra-potent message about our perception of physical reality -- time and space -- and about our relationship to love, our values, power or feeling empowered. Ask yourself: If I truly had choice in the matter, what kind of future would I choose to step into? Who would I choose to connect with? Why? Who would I not choose to connect with? Why not?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Venus in conjunction with the New Moon</em> advises us to choose wisely and from the heart. Ask yourself: Am I true to myself? Am I working too hard without making enough progress? Am I expressing my feelings truthfully? Or hiding my true feelings from others? Am I in touch with what\'s important to me -- especially in regards to relationships? Am I happy? Could I love and respect myself and life 5% more?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">With this many planets in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, it is important for us to take breaks — or simply slow down and allow ourselves to tune in. It’s important to explore ways to stay heart-centered and grounded -- seek tools or people to help you with that exploration. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Now let\'s talk about <em>the square to Uranus</em> -- the energy of freedom, innovation and reform. This combo focuses our attention on the right use of power -- which respects the rights, needs, and gifts of all beings. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: Where do I need to be more courageous? Where do I need to \"think different\"? What if I became 5% more aware of my personal power? Where might I have given it away to others? And how might I begin to reclaim it? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Remember that change is not always progress. Consider all options first and then respond, rather than reacting; stay flexible and be willing to entertain new possibilities. What if -- in small or large ways -- I could help birth a new age, and with it a new world, one based on heart-centered consciousness and individual freedoms?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>The New Moon also sextiles Mars in <strong>Scorpio</strong> and Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong></em>. This is an opportunity to heal our collective wounds around any sense of spiritual disconnection in our world of accomplishments. We get a chance to connect more deeply with others and bring a powerful approach to what we are building and working towards. Our actions tend to be in greater alignment with our deepest desires.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: What if I could be both productive <em>and</em> gentle with myself at the same time? What would a compassionate approach make possible? What is pushing or pulling at me? How could my actions become a source of empowerment? What if I allowed all actions to flow from a deep sense of authentic connectedness? What if I forgave myself and others for having flaws or limitations?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Given that it rules <strong>Capricorn</strong>, <em>Saturn\'s placement in its own sign</em> plays an important role with this New Moon -- and if you\'d like to know how Saturn\'s journey in <strong>Capricorn</strong> will impact you personally over the next three years, feel free to check out my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, available for purchase <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-recorded-webinars/\">on my website</a> (or check out a<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/5067/\"> 30-minute excerpt for free :-)</a></span>\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Saturn conjuncts Mercury while in <strong>Capricorn</strong></em>. This reminds us of the power of our mind -- that our thoughts and words matter. What am I doing, career-wise? What is the long-term plan? How can I honor and share those goals with others in a clear and honest way? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">It\'s time to think seriously about what no longer works. As best as you can, investigate your thought processes: What no longer feels useful in my approach? What if I got real about that? What might be possible if I took 5% more responsibility for my inner dialog, and the energy those thoughts disperse?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>To sum all of this up:</strong> We are invited to become mature, responsible planetary citizens, while honoring our individuality -- in other words, making a difference, one by one -- even when it seems as though we are too little to create a big shift on our own. No matter how small an action may seem, every pebble makes a ripple...</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This cosmic combo also directs our attention to our bottom lines. What matters most to me? What are my priorities? Am I living my truth, and thus loving my goals? Where is it best to be flexible, and where must I remain focused and in alignment with my commitments? When have I felt the happiest? What if I committed 5% more to the things, people and places in my life that make me happy? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Inner strength and self-reliance come almost entirely from adversity; obstacles are the part of life that show us where we have an opportunity to become more capable and where we have drifted from contact with outer reality or inner truth. Am I on the right track, as best as I can tell? Am I walking my own path? Or someone else\'s? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">What obstacles can I see or sense from here? What if there was value in those obstacles? Could I send them gratitude for being given the opportunity to get back into greater alignment with myself and reality?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Choose wisely for 2018 and beyond. Participate consciously in the evolution of existence on this planet, not from fear, but from knowledge of your inner strength and personal power -- the power of your heart and your humanity! Trust your inner truth!</span>\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are also about to enter Eclipse season, as the first of two Eclipses becomes exact on Jan. 31st; I\'ll be talking more about this in my next Monthly Forecasting Forum on Feb. 3rd.

Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Social gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Wednesday late afternoon, </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a somewhat challenging Mars/Uranus aspect </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">becomes exact at 4:37pm EST.</span><b> We started to feel this aspect from Monday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday morning. </b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed in order to see what needs adjusting -- this aspect calls for flexibility.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We experience an internal stress between our masculine energies (assertiveness/aggression) and our need to express our unique spark (and the desire to make a difference).</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are being asked to go within and look at our personal goals and desires -- and reach a new perspective on how we go about achieving them. Are we driven by personal resistance and rebellion, or motivated to positively impact humanity?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Once we get clear about our deepest motivations, we will discover new ways to move forward and embrace our uniqueness in a healthy way, while demonstrating our strength and power more authentically, from a place of love and abundance, rather than fear and limitation. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">How might you get in touch with your inner genius? What if you shared it from a true desire to empower others?  What \"old\" behaviors can now be released? What might a deep, passionate connection to your vision of a future self look like?

A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">It\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\".

A book, a song, a movie, someone else\'s words… allow the Universe to speak to you.

If possible, try to defer any major brand-new projects <strong>until after Feb. 25th,</strong> when this Eclipse season is over. If something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic… allow it to be.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Another Eclipse-related phenomenon: not only do Eclipses bring up uncertainty in us, they might also leave us nervous, anxious, unsettled and disoriented. As best as you can, observe your feelings and stay grounded in the \"here and now\". Connect to your intuition and inner wisdom; they will help carry you through this period. Remember: it\'s temporary and we are receiving an upgrade -- that\'s a good thing!</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Just like upgrading a computer, you will get all the information you need, as soon as the upgrade is complete -- so as best you can, be patient.

Not what you wish it to be or what you would like it to be or where you see yourself going.... What is so right now?

This starts a new Moon cycle. This is a good time to go within and seed anything we would like to accomplish for the next 28 days and maybe even beyond. Feel free to watch my New Moon video as well :-) </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">We are also about to enter Eclipse season, as the the first of two Eclipses will becomes exact on Jan. 31st with the next Lunation. I will talk more about this in my next Monthly Forecasting Forum on Feb. 3rd. Feel free to join us, as we talk about the upcoming Eclipses: Lunar and Solar Eclipse -- one of them also being a SuperMoon and therefore more potent. To register, click here now: http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">This is the first New Moon of the year and since <strong>Capricorn</strong> represents the quest for mastery on the physical plane, ask yourself: What is my relationship to the physical? Do I respect the laws of matter? Am I going about things in a realistic way? How committed am I really? Where does my inner compass point? What am I willing to undergo to overcome adversity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">The highest vibration of <strong>Capricorn</strong> is the development of responsibility, resourcefulness, reliability, self-mastery, the ability to set realistic goals and healthy boundaries. The next 28 days are a perfect time to work on these areas. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">As best as you can, prepare for the future, make commitments and recognize responsibilities -- in other words, nurture your dreams in a realistic manner -- focus on setting and achieving practical and attainable long-term goals, one step at a time, one day at a time -- not focusing on immediate results but focusing on the quality of the foundation you are building.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> also invites us to set realistic limits and boundaries, which allow everyone involved to learn from the consequences of their choices. Where in my life am I able to set realistic limits and boundaries? Where is that an obstacle in your life? What am I afraid of in those moments? What would be the worst of that?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> relates directly to the level of our own maturity. We start out on a more instinctual level, simply wanting to get the results so we can survive on the physical plane. This stage is basically fear-based and has a scarcity-mentality. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">Once we get better at living on the earth plane, and we understand the rules better, we move towards ambition and wanting to challenge ourselves, so we can reach our goals and gain recognition and rewards in the process. This phase is still sometimes fear-based but we are already taking more responsibility for our part in achieving things and manifesting on a physical plane. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">Eventually, as we grow spiritually and learn more about the laws of matter, earthly ambitions are eventually replaced by spiritual service. We recognize that personal gain is not the highest goal to reach, we understand that by making a contribution to society, we are giving to ourselves and others -- surpassing the physical appearance of separation and connecting to life in it\'s highest form. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">On this highest level, we are living in accordance with our conscience, from a place of maturity and inner guidance.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">Ask yourself: What would my life look like if I developed 5% more discipline? 5% more integrity? 5% more commitment towards something that aligns both with myself and with life? What if I took 100% responsibility for my life, starting right now? What if I also responded to situations in a way that respects and serves all those involved? </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"> </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><em>This New Moon aligns with Venus and Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong> and squares Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>.</em> First let\'s focus on the alignment with Venus and Pluto: This conveys an extra-potent messages about our perception of physical reality -- time and space -- and about our relationship to love, our values, power or feeling empowered. Ask yourself: If I truly had choice in the matter, what kind of future would I choose to step into? Who would I choose to connect with? Why? Who would I not choose to connect with? Why not?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><em>Venus in conjunction with the New Moon</em> advises us to choose wisely and from the heart. Ask yourself: Am I true to myself? Am I working too hard without making enough progress? Am I expressing my feelings truthfully? Or hiding my true feelings from others? Am I in touch with what\'s important to me -- especially in regards to relationships? Am I happy? Could I love and respect myself and life 5% more?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">With this many planets in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, it is important for us to take breaks — or simply slow down and allow ourselves to tune in. It’s important to explore ways to stay heart-centered and grounded -- seek tools or people to help you with that exploration. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">Now let\'s talk about <em>the square to Uranus</em> -- the energy of freedom, innovation and reform: This combo focuses our attention on the right use of power, which respects the rights, needs, and gifts of all beings. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">Ask yourself: Where do I need to be more courageous? Where do I need to \"think different\"? What if I became 5% more aware of my personal power? Where might I have given it away to others? And how might I begin to reclaim it? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">Remember that change is not always progress; consider all options first and then respond, rather than react. Be flexible, and be willing to entertain new possibilities. What if -- in small or large ways -- I could help birth a new age, and with it a new world, one based on heart-centered consciousness and individual freedoms?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><em>The New Moon also sextiles Mars in <strong>Scorpio</strong> and Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong></em>. This is an opportunity for healing our collective wounds around feeling spiritually disconnected in our world of accomplishments. We get a chance to connect more deeply with others and bring a powerful approach to what we are currently building and working towards. Our actions tend to be in greater alignment with our deepest desires.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">Ask yourself: What if I could be productive and gentle with myself at the same time? What would a compassionate approach guarantee? What is pushing or pulling at me? How could my actions become a source of empowerment? What if I allowed all actions to flow from a deep sense of authentic connectedness? What if I forgave myself and others for having flaws or limitations?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">Given that it rules <strong>Capricorn</strong>, Saturn\'s placement in its own sign plays an important role with this New Moon: If you want to know how Saturn\'s journey in <strong>Capricorn</strong> will impact you personally in the next three years, feel free to purchase my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, <a style=\"color: #800000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-recorded-webinars/\">on my website</a>, <em>or</em> for a quick preview <a style=\"color: #800000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/5067/\">check out my 30-minute excerpt of the webinar</a>\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><em>Saturn conjuncts Mercury in <strong>Capricorn</strong></em>. This reminds us of the power of our mind; that our thoughts and words matter. What am I doing, career-wise? What is the long-term plan? How can I honor and share those goals with others in a clear and honest way? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">It\'s time to seriously think about what no longer works. As best as you can, investigate your thought processes: What feels no longer useful in my approach? What if I got real about that? What might be possible if I took 5% more responsibility for my inner dialog, and the energy those thoughts disperse?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>To sum all of this up:</strong> We are invited to become mature, responsible planetary citizens, while honoring our individuality -- in other words, making a difference, one by one -- even when it seems as though we are too little to create a big shift on our own. No matter how small it may seem, every ripple moves something, changes something...</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">This cosmic combo also directs our attention to our bottom lines. What matters most to me? What are my priorities? Am I living my truth, and thus loving my goals? Where is it best to be flexible, and where must I remain focused and in alignment with my commitments? When have I felt the happiest? What if I committed 5% more to the things, people and places in my life that make me happy? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">Inner strength and self-reliance come almost entirely from dealing with adversity. Obstacles are a part of life -- they show us where we have an opportunity to become more capable -- and also where we have gone out of alignment with outer reality or inner truth. Am I on the right track, as best as I can tell? Am I walking my own path? Or someone elses? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">What obstacles can I see or sense from here? What if there was value in those obstacles? Could I send them gratitude for being given the opportunity to get back into greater alignment with myself and reality?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">Choose wisely for 2018: participate consciously in the evolution of existence on this planet; not from a place of fear, but from a place of knowing your inner strength and your own personal power -- the power of your heart and your humanity! Trust your inner truth! Feel free to watch my New Moon video as well :-)</span>\r\n\r\n<em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in one of the following placements: 25-29 degrees of <strong>Capricorn, Libra, Aries,</strong> or <strong>Cancer</strong>?

Take a breath. Relax. Find your peace. Don\'t require the Universe to move more rapidly than it is. It is actually working perfectly, and it will prove that to you if you will give it a chance. Really. Trust me on this.” — Neal D. Walsh</span>\r\n<h3>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement:</h3>\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">It looks like we are getting closer to launching my new online community. Right now we are aiming for Jan.16th or 17th. Keep your fingers crossed for me ;-) I\'m super-excited and at the same time I am also feeling the pressure of the enormity with this amazing new beginning for myself and everyone out there who is going to join us. But as my spiritual coach likes to remind me, \"Life is an ongoing experiment\" and \"True professionalism is about being able to be flexible and kind about unforeseen situations that come up, allowing ourselves to learn from them and finding out how to make creative adjustments.\"</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>This week\'s headline items</b>: <span style=\"color: #800000;\">the New Moon in Capricorn becomes exact on Tuesday late evening; Venus changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius on Wednesday evening, and the Sun will do the same on Friday late evening. Last but not least, Eclipse season begins on Sunday and will last until Feb. 25th.</span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>There will also be three <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week</strong>: Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning (for 2 hours), Friday morning (for a little over 8.5 hours), and Sunday evening (for a little over 5 hours).</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday (January 15th): </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day.</b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> It will journey there <b>until Wednesday very early morning. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, be truthful with yourself about where you are at: Do you actually have a realistic view about what is so, right now, in your life? Not what you wish it to be or what you would like it to be or where you see yourself going.... What is so right now? Once you know where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\", whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday very early morning, </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">becomes exact at 1:59am EST.</span><b> We started to feel this aspect from Friday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday morning. </b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Until Friday, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">23-27 degrees</span> of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday late evening, </b><i>a long-term, opportune Jupiter/Pluto aspect </i>becomes exact at 11:13pm EST.<b> We started to feel this aspect from Tuesday (Jan. 3rd) on; it will remain strong until Wednesday (Jan. 31st).</b><i> </i><span style=\"color: #800000;\">This combo is an opportunity to deepen our relationships: business and personal alike. </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">A positive attitude and a deeper trust in our connections with others, gives us the chance to build something meaningful and share our passions with others. We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support us in achieving professional or personal goals. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">Ask yourself: Where in my life could I hone into solving situations, so I can get to where I intent to go? How could a passionate approach support my long-term goals? How could other people\'s resources support my ability to transform and stand in my power?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><b><i> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">17-21 degrees</span> </i></b><i>of</i><b><i> Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces </i></b><i>or <strong>Virgo</strong></i><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces). </i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday (Jan. 16th): </b><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><em>t</em><b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">he Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</span></i></b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(see Monday for details). </span></span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><b>Tuesday evening, at 9:17pm EST</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,</span><em> the Moon aligns with the Sun in almost 27 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></em>. This starts a new Moon cycle. This is a good time to go within and seed anything we would like to accomplish for the next 28 days and maybe even beyond. Feel free to watch my New Moon video as well :-) </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">We are also about to enter Eclipse season, as the the first of two Eclipses will becomes exact on Jan. 31st with the next Lunation. I will talk more about this in my next Monthly Forecasting Forum on Feb. 3rd. Feel free to join us, as we talk about the upcoming Eclipses: Lunar and Solar Eclipse -- one of them also being a SuperMoon and therefore more potent. To register, click here now: http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">This is the first New Moon of the year and since <strong>Capricorn</strong> represents the quest for mastery on the physical plane, ask yourself: What is my relationship to the physical? Do I respect the laws of matter? Am I going about things in a realistic way? How committed am I really? Where does my inner compass point? What am I willing to undergo to overcome adversity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">The highest vibration of <strong>Capricorn</strong> is the development of responsibility, resourcefulness, reliability, self-mastery, the ability to set realistic goals and healthy boundaries. The next 28 days are a perfect time to work on these areas. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">As best as you can, prepare for the future, make commitments and recognize responsibilities -- in other words, nurture your dreams in a realistic manner -- focus on setting and achieving practical and attainable long-term goals, one step at a time, one day at a time -- not focusing on immediate results but focusing on the quality of the foundation you are building.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> also invites us to set realistic limits and boundaries, which allow everyone involved to learn from the consequences of their choices. Where in my life am I able to set realistic limits and boundaries? Where is that an obstacle in your life? What am I afraid of in those moments? What would be the worst of that?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> relates directly to the level of our own maturity. We start out on a more instinctual level, simply wanting to get the results so we can survive on the physical plane. This stage is basically fear-based and has a scarcity-mentality. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">Once we get better at living on the earth plane, and we understand the rules better, we move towards ambition and wanting to challenge ourselves, so we can reach our goals and gain recognition and rewards in the process. This phase is still sometimes fear-based but we are already taking more responsibility for our part in achieving things and manifesting on a physical plane. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">Eventually, as we grow spiritually and learn more about the laws of matter, earthly ambitions are eventually replaced by spiritual service. We recognize that personal gain is not the highest goal to reach, we understand that by making a contribution to society, we are giving to ourselves and others -- surpassing the physical appearance of separation and connecting to life in it\'s highest form. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">On this highest level, we are living in accordance with our conscience, from a place of maturity and inner guidance.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">Ask yourself: What would my life look like if I developed 5% more discipline? 5% more integrity? 5% more commitment towards something that aligns both with myself and with life? What if I took 100% responsibility for my life, starting right now? What if I also responded to situations in a way that respects and serves all those involved? </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"> </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><em>This New Moon aligns with Venus and Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong> and squares Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>.</em> First let\'s focus on the alignment with Venus and Pluto: This conveys an extra-potent messages about our perception of physical reality -- time and space -- and about our relationship to love, our values, power or feeling empowered. Ask yourself: If I truly had choice in the matter, what kind of future would I choose to step into? Who would I choose to connect with? Why? Who would I not choose to connect with? Why not?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><em>Venus in conjunction with the New Moon</em> advises us to choose wisely and from the heart. Ask yourself: Am I true to myself? Am I working too hard without making enough progress? Am I expressing my feelings truthfully? Or hiding my true feelings from others? Am I in touch with what\'s important to me -- especially in regards to relationships? Am I happy? Could I love and respect myself and life 5% more?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">With this many planets in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, it is important for us to take breaks — or simply slow down and allow ourselves to tune in. It’s important to explore ways to stay heart-centered and grounded -- seek tools or people to help you with that exploration. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">Now let\'s talk about <em>the square to Uranus</em> -- the energy of freedom, innovation and reform: This combo focuses our attention on the right use of power, which respects the rights, needs, and gifts of all beings. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">Ask yourself: Where do I need to be more courageous? Where do I need to \"think different\"? What if I became 5% more aware of my personal power? Where might I have given it away to others? And how might I begin to reclaim it? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">Remember that change is not always progress; consider all options first and then respond, rather than react. Be flexible, and be willing to entertain new possibilities. What if -- in small or large ways -- I could help birth a new age, and with it a new world, one based on heart-centered consciousness and individual freedoms?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><em>The New Moon also sextiles Mars in <strong>Scorpio</strong> and Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong></em>. This is an opportunity for healing our collective wounds around feeling spiritually disconnected in our world of accomplishments. We get a chance to connect more deeply with others and bring a powerful approach to what we are currently building and working towards. Our actions tend to be in greater alignment with our deepest desires.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">Ask yourself: What if I could be productive and gentle with myself at the same time? What would a compassionate approach guarantee? What is pushing or pulling at me? How could my actions become a source of empowerment? What if I allowed all actions to flow from a deep sense of authentic connectedness? What if I forgave myself and others for having flaws or limitations?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">Given that it rules <strong>Capricorn</strong>, <em>Saturn\'s placement in its own sign</em> plays an important role with this New Moon: If you want to know how Saturn\'s journey in <strong>Capricorn</strong> will impact you personally in the next three years, feel free to purchase my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, <a style=\"color: #800000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-recorded-webinars/\">on my website</a>, <em>or</em> for a quick preview <a style=\"color: #800000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/5067/\">check out my 30-minute excerpt of the webinar</a>\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><em>Saturn conjuncts Mercury in <strong>Capricorn</strong></em>. This reminds us of the power of our mind; that our thoughts and words matter. What am I doing, career-wise? What is the long-term plan? How can I honor and share those goals with others in a clear and honest way? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">It\'s time to seriously think about what no longer works. As best as you can, investigate your thought processes: What feels no longer useful in my approach? What if I got real about that? What might be possible if I took 5% more responsibility for my inner dialog, and the energy those thoughts disperse?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>To sum all of this up:</strong> We are invited to become mature, responsible planetary citizens, while honoring our individuality -- in other words, making a difference, one by one -- even when it seems as though we are too little to create a big shift on our own. No matter how small it may seem, every ripple moves something, changes something...</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">This cosmic combo also directs our attention to our bottom lines. What matters most to me? What are my priorities? Am I living my truth, and thus loving my goals? Where is it best to be flexible, and where must I remain focused and in alignment with my commitments? When have I felt the happiest? What if I committed 5% more to the things, people and places in my life that make me happy? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">Inner strength and self-reliance come almost entirely from dealing with adversity. Obstacles are a part of life -- they show us where we have an opportunity to become more capable -- and also where we have gone out of alignment with outer reality or inner truth. Am I on the right track, as best as I can tell? Am I walking my own path? Or someone elses? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">What obstacles can I see or sense from here? What if there was value in those obstacles? Could I send them gratitude for being given the opportunity to get back into greater alignment with myself and reality?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">Choose wisely for 2018: participate consciously in the evolution of existence on this planet; not from a place of fear, but from a place of knowing your inner strength and your own personal power -- the power of your heart and your humanity! Trust your inner truth! Feel free to watch my New Moon video as well :-)</span>\r\n\r\n<em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in one of the following placements: 25-29 degrees of <strong>Capricorn, Libra, Aries,</strong> or <strong>Cancer</strong>? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly.</span></em>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for the month\'s Moon cycle -- and the very best time to do this is after the New Moon becomes exact (and definitely not during a Moon void of course). </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">So this month the two best and most potent times to set intentions would be <strong>any time between 9:17pm Tuesday evening (Jan. 26th) </strong>and<strong> 1:30am Wednesday very early morning (Jan. 17th), </strong>or<strong> between Wednesday at 3:32am </strong>and<strong> Thursday (Jan. 18th) at 9:17pm</strong> (EST/New York-time).</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Wednesday (January 17th): <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>t</em>he Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented <strong>Capricorn</strong></span></i></b><i> </i><b>until 3:32am EST </b>(see Monday for details).</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Wednesday at 1:30am EST, </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">we enter a </span><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moon void of course (VoC)</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that lasts for 2 hours, </span><b>until 3:32am EST</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <span style=\"color: #800000;\">If you are awake during those two hours, use this intuitive time to take care of anything that has value for you long-term.</span> </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In general, during a Moon VoC, listen to your intuition and go with the flow. </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">s best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new.

Right now we are aiming for Jan.16th or 17th. Keep your fingers crossed for me ;-) I\'m super-excited and at the same time I am also feeling the pressure of the enormity with this amazing new beginning for myself and everyone out there who is going to join us.

Not what you wish it to be or what you would like it to be or where you see yourself going.... What is so right now? Once you know where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\", whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday very early morning, </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">becomes exact at 1:59am EST.</span><b> We started to feel this aspect from Friday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday morning. </b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others.

The next 28 days are a perfect time to work on these areas. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">As best as you can, prepare for the future, make commitments and recognize responsibilities -- in other words, nurture your dreams in a realistic manner -- focus on setting and achieving practical and attainable long-term goals, one step at a time, one day at a time -- not focusing on immediate results but focusing on the quality of the foundation you are building.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> also invites us to set realistic limits and boundaries, which allow everyone involved to learn from the consequences of their choices. Where in my life am I able to set realistic limits and boundaries? Where is that an obstacle in your life? What am I afraid of in those moments? What would be the worst of that?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> relates directly to the level of our own maturity. We start out on a more instinctual level, simply wanting to get the results so we can survive on the physical plane. This stage is basically fear-based and has a scarcity-mentality. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">Once we get better at living on the earth plane, and we understand the rules better, we move towards ambition and wanting to challenge ourselves, so we can reach our goals and gain recognition and rewards in the process. This phase is still sometimes fear-based but we are already taking more responsibility for our part in achieving things and manifesting on a physical plane. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">Eventually, as we grow spiritually and learn more about the laws of matter, earthly ambitions are eventually replaced by spiritual service. We recognize that personal gain is not the highest goal to reach, we understand that by making a contribution to society, we are giving to ourselves and others -- surpassing the physical appearance of separation and connecting to life in it\'s highest form. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">On this highest level, we are living in accordance with our conscience, from a place of maturity and inner guidance.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">Ask yourself: What would my life look like if I developed 5% more discipline? 5% more integrity? 5% more commitment towards something that aligns both with myself and with life? What if I took 100% responsibility for my life, starting right now? What if I also responded to situations in a way that respects and serves all those involved? </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"> </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><em>This New Moon aligns with Venus and Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong> and squares Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>.</em> First let\'s focus on the alignment with Venus and Pluto: This conveys an extra-potent messages about our perception of physical reality -- time and space -- and about our relationship to love, our values, power or feeling empowered. Ask yourself: If I truly had choice in the matter, what kind of future would I choose to step into? Who would I choose to connect with? Why? Who would I not choose to connect with? Why not?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><em>Venus in conjunction with the New Moon</em> advises us to choose wisely and from the heart. Ask yourself: Am I true to myself? Am I working too hard without making enough progress? Am I expressing my feelings truthfully? Or hiding my true feelings from others? Am I in touch with what\'s important to me -- especially in regards to relationships? Am I happy? Could I love and respect myself and life 5% more?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">With this many planets in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, it is important for us to take breaks — or simply slow down and allow ourselves to tune in. It’s important to explore ways to stay heart-centered and grounded -- seek tools or people to help you with that exploration. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">Now let\'s talk about <em>the square to Uranus</em> -- the energy of freedom, innovation and reform: This combo focuses our attention on the right use of power, which respects the rights, needs, and gifts of all beings. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">Ask yourself: Where do I need to be more courageous? Where do I need to \"think different\"? What if I became 5% more aware of my personal power? Where might I have given it away to others? And how might I begin to reclaim it? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">Remember that change is not always progress; consider all options first and then respond, rather than react. Be flexible, and be willing to entertain new possibilities. What if -- in small or large ways -- I could help birth a new age, and with it a new world, one based on heart-centered consciousness and individual freedoms?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><em>The New Moon also sextiles Mars in <strong>Scorpio</strong> and Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong></em>. This is an opportunity for healing our collective wounds around feeling spiritually disconnected in our world of accomplishments. We get a chance to connect more deeply with others and bring a powerful approach to what we are currently building and working towards. Our actions tend to be in greater alignment with our deepest desires.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">Ask yourself: What if I could be productive and gentle with myself at the same time? What would a compassionate approach guarantee? What is pushing or pulling at me? How could my actions become a source of empowerment? What if I allowed all actions to flow from a deep sense of authentic connectedness? What if I forgave myself and others for having flaws or limitations?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">Given that it rules <strong>Capricorn</strong>, Saturn\'s placement in its own sign plays an important role with this New Moon: If you want to know how Saturn\'s journey in <strong>Capricorn</strong> will impact you personally in the next three years, feel free to purchase my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, <a style=\"color: #800000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-recorded-webinars/\">on my website</a>, <em>or</em> for a quick preview <a style=\"color: #800000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/5067/\">check out my 30-minute excerpt of the webinar</a>\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><em>Saturn conjuncts Mercury in <strong>Capricorn</strong></em>. This reminds us of the power of our mind; that our thoughts and words matter. What am I doing, career-wise? What is the long-term plan? How can I honor and share those goals with others in a clear and honest way? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">It\'s time to seriously think about what no longer works. As best as you can, investigate your thought processes: What feels no longer useful in my approach? What if I got real about that? What might be possible if I took 5% more responsibility for my inner dialog, and the energy those thoughts disperse?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>To sum all of this up:</strong> We are invited to become mature, responsible planetary citizens, while honoring our individuality -- in other words, making a difference, one by one -- even when it seems as though we are too little to create a big shift on our own. No matter how small it may seem, every ripple moves something, changes something...</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">This cosmic combo also directs our attention to our bottom lines. What matters most to me? What are my priorities? Am I living my truth, and thus loving my goals? Where is it best to be flexible, and where must I remain focused and in alignment with my commitments? When have I felt the happiest? What if I committed 5% more to the things, people and places in my life that make me happy? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">Inner strength and self-reliance come almost entirely from dealing with adversity. Obstacles are a part of life -- they show us where we have an opportunity to become more capable -- and also where we have gone out of alignment with outer reality or inner truth. Am I on the right track, as best as I can tell? Am I walking my own path? Or someone elses? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">What obstacles can I see or sense from here? What if there was value in those obstacles? Could I send them gratitude for being given the opportunity to get back into greater alignment with myself and reality?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">Choose wisely for 2018: participate consciously in the evolution of existence on this planet; not from a place of fear, but from a place of knowing your inner strength and your own personal power -- the power of your heart and your humanity! Trust your inner truth! Feel free to watch my New Moon video as well :-)</span>\r\n\r\n<em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in one of the following placements: 25-29 degrees of <strong>Capricorn, Libra, Aries,</strong> or <strong>Cancer</strong>?

Take a breath. Relax. Find your peace. Don\'t require the Universe to move more rapidly than it is. It is actually working perfectly, and it will prove that to you if you will give it a chance. Really. Trust me on this.” — Neale Donald Walsh</span>\r\n<h3>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement:</h3>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are getting closer to the launch of my new online community!</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> Right now we are aiming for Jan.16th or 17th -- keep your fingers crossed for me ;-) I\'m super-excited, and at the same time, I also sometimes stress out about the scope of this amazing new beginning for myself and everyone out there who will join us. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">But as my spiritual coach likes to remind me, \"Life is an ongoing experiment\" and \"True professionalism is about being able to be flexible and kind about unforeseen situations that come up, allowing ourselves to learn from them and finding out how to make creative adjustments.\"</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>This week\'s headline item<span style=\"color: #000000;\">s</span></b>: the New Moon in Capricorn becomes exact on Tuesday; Venus changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius on Wednesday, and the Sun will do the same on Friday. Last but not least, Eclipse season begins on Sunday and runs until Feb. 25th.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>There will also be three <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week</strong>: Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning (for 2 hours), Friday morning (for a little over 8.5 hours), and Sunday evening (for a little over 5 hours).</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday (January 15th): </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day.</b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> It will journey there <b>until Wednesday very early morning. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, be truthful with yourself about where you are at: Do you actually have a realistic view about what is so, right now, in your life? Not what you wish it to be or what you would like it to be or where you see yourself going.... What is so right now? Once you know where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\", whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday very early morning, </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">becomes exact at 1:59am EST.</span><b> We started to feel this aspect from Friday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday morning. </b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Until Friday, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">23-27 degrees</span> of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday late evening: </b><i>an opportune long-term Jupiter/Pluto aspect </i>that we <b>started to feel back on Tuesday Jan. 3rd becomes exact at 11:13pm EST; it will remain strong until Wednesday, Jan. 31st </b>and brings with it an opportunity to deepen our relationships, business and personal alike. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">A positive attitude and deeper trust in our connections with others gives us the chance to build something meaningful and share our passions with them. We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support professional or personal goals. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: Where could I really dig in to solve a problem? How might passion help deliver on my long-term goals? How could other people\'s resources support my ability to create transformation? How might they help me stand in my power?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><b><i> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">17-21 degrees</span> </i></b><i>of</i><b><i> Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces </i></b><i>or <strong>Virgo</strong></i><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces). </i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday (Jan. 16th): </b><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>t</em><b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">he Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</span></i></b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day </b></span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">(see Monday for details).</span> </span></span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday evening, at 9:17pm ES</b>T<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,</span><em> the Moon aligns with the Sun in almost 27 degrees of Capricorn, </em>launching </span><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">a new Moon cycle.</span> </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is a good time to go within, to seed anything we would like to accomplish for the next 28 days, and maybe even beyond. The next section of this forecast will dig in to this in more detail; you may also want to watch my New Moon video :-) </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is the first New Moon of the year and since <strong>Capricorn</strong> represents the quest for mastery on the physical plane, some useful questions you can ask yourself include: </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">What is my relationship to the physical? Do I respect the laws of matter? Am I going about things in a realistic way? How committed am I really? Where does my inner compass point? What am I willing to undergo to overcome adversity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The highest vibration of <strong>Capricorn</strong> is the development of responsibility, resourcefulness, reliability, self-mastery, the ability to set realistic goals and healthy boundaries. The next 28 days are a perfect time to work on these areas. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, prepare for the future, make commitments and recognize responsibilities -- in other words, nurture your dreams in a realistic manner. Focus on setting and achieving practical and attainable long-term goals, one step at a time, one day at a time -- this is not about immediate results, it\'s about the quality of the foundation you are building.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> also invites us to set the kind of realistic limits and boundaries that allow everyone involved to learn from the consequences of their choices. Where in my life am I able to set realistic limits and boundaries? Where is that an obstacle in your life? What am I afraid of in those moments? What would be the worst of that?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> relates directly to the level of our maturity: We start out on a more instinctual, survival level; this stage is basically fear-based, with a scarcity mentality. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Once we get better at living on the earth plane -- and we understand the rules better -- we transition to goal-oriented ambition and self-challenge, seeking recognition and rewards. This phase is still sometimes fear-based, but already we are taking more responsibility for our part in achieving things, and we are manifesting on the physical plane. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Eventually, as we grow spiritually and learn more about the laws of matter, earthly ambitions are often replaced by some form of spiritual service. We recognize that personal gain is not the only (or even the highest) goal, we see that when we contribute to others, we are also giving to ourselves -- perhaps we also surpass the physical appearance of separation and connect to life in it\'s highest form.</span> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">At this level, we are living in pure accordance with our conscience, from a place of maturity and inner guidance.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: What if I developed 5% more discipline? Integrity? What about 5% more commitment towards something that aligns both with myself and with life itself? What would 100% responsibility for my life look like? What if I responded to situations in a way that respects and serves all those involved? </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">  </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> <em>This New Moon aligns with Venus and Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong> and squares Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>.</em> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">First let\'s focus on the alignment with Venus and Pluto: This conveys an extra-potent message about our perception of physical reality -- time and space -- and about our relationship to love, our values, power or feeling empowered. Ask yourself: If I truly had choice in the matter, what kind of future would I choose to step into? Who would I choose to connect with? Why? Who would I not choose to connect with? Why not?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Venus in conjunction with the New Moon</em> advises us to choose wisely and from the heart. Ask yourself: Am I true to myself? Am I working too hard without making enough progress? Am I expressing my feelings truthfully? Or hiding my true feelings from others? Am I in touch with what\'s important to me -- especially in regards to relationships? Am I happy? Could I love and respect myself and life 5% more?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">With this many planets in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, it is important for us to take breaks — or simply slow down and allow ourselves to tune in. It’s important to explore ways to stay heart-centered and grounded -- seek tools or people to help you with that exploration. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Now let\'s talk about <em>the square to Uranus</em> -- the energy of freedom, innovation and reform. This combo focuses our attention on the right use of power -- a way that respects the rights, needs, and gifts of all beings. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: Where do I need to be more courageous? Where do I need to \"think different\"? What if I became 5% more aware of my personal power? Where might I have given it away to others? And how might I begin to reclaim it? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Remember that change is not always progress. Consider all options, then respond rather than react; stay flexible and be willing to entertain new possibilities. What if -- in small or large ways -- I could help birth a new age, and with it a new world, one based on heart-centered consciousness and individual freedoms?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>The New Moon also sextiles Mars in <strong>Scorpio</strong> and Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong></em>. This is an opportunity for healing our collective wounds around the sense of spiritual disconnection that can pervade our world of accomplishments. We get a chance to connect more deeply with others and together bring a powerful approach to what we are currently building and working towards. Our actions tend to be in greater alignment with our deepest desires.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: What if I could be productive and gentle with myself at the same time? What would a compassionate approach guarantee? What is pushing or pulling at me? How could my actions become a source of empowerment? What if I allowed all actions to flow from a deep sense of authentic connectedness? What if I forgave myself and others for having flaws or limitations?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Given that it rules <strong>Capricorn</strong>, <em>Saturn\'s placement in its own sign</em> plays an important role with this New Moon; if you want to know how Saturn\'s journey in <strong>Capricorn</strong> will impact you personally in the next three years, I recommend you my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-recorded-webinars/\">available for purchase on my website (</a>you can also check out a 30-minute preview for free).</span>\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Saturn conjuncts Mercury in <strong>Capricorn</strong></em>, reminding us of the power of our mind -- that our thoughts and words matter. What am I doing, career-wise? What is the long-term plan? How can I honor and share those goals with others in a clear and honest way? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">It\'s time to seriously think about what no longer works. As best as you can, investigate your thought processes: What feels no longer useful in my approach? What if I got real about that? What might be possible if I took 5% more responsibility for my inner dialog, and the energy those thoughts disperse?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>To sum all of this up:</strong> We are invited to become mature and responsible planetary citizens, while honoring our individuality -- making a difference one by one -- even when it seems as though we are too little to create a big shift on our own. No matter how small it may seem, every action creates a ripple that moves something else...</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This cosmic combo also directs our attention to our bottom lines. What matters most to me? What are my priorities? Am I living my truth, and thus loving my goals? Where is it best to be flexible, and where must I remain focused and in alignment with my commitments? When have I felt the happiest? What if I committed 5% more to the things, people and places in my life that make me happy? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Inner strength and self-reliance most often grow from adversity; obstacles are life\'s way of showing where we have an opportunity to become more capable. They also point out where we have drifted out of alignment with outer reality or inner truth. You could ask yourself: Am I on the right track, as best as I can tell? Am I walking my own path? Or someone else\'s? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">What obstacles can I see or sense from here? What if there was value hidden in them? Could I send them gratitude for being given the opportunity to get back into greater alignment with myself and reality?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Choose wisely for 2018 and beyond. Participate consciously in the evolution of existence on this planet, not from fear, but from knowledge of your inner strength and personal power -- the power of your heart and your humanity! Trust your inner truth! </span>\r\n\r\n<em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in one of the following placements: 25-29 degrees of <strong>Capricorn, Libra, Aries,</strong> or <strong>Cancer</strong>?

Are we driven by personal resistance and rebellion, or motivated to positively impact humanity?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Once we get clear about our deepest motivations, we will discover healthy new ways to move forward, embracing our uniqueness and learning how to demonstrate our strength and power more authentically -- from a place of love and abundance, rather than fear and limitation. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">How might you get in touch with your inner genius?

Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, be truthful with yourself about where you are at: Do you actually have a realistic view about what is so, right now, in your life? Not what you wish it to be or what you would like it to be or where you see yourself going.... What is so right now? Once you know where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\", whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday very early morning, </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">becomes exact at 1:59am EST.</span><b> We started to feel this aspect from Friday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday morning. </b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Until Friday, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">23-27 degrees</span> of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>?

To register, click here now: http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">This is the first New Moon of the year and since <strong>Capricorn</strong> represents the quest for mastery on the physical plane, ask yourself: What is my relationship to the physical? Do I respect the laws of matter? Am I going about things in a realistic way? How committed am I really? Where does my inner compass point? What am I willing to undergo to overcome adversity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">The highest vibration of <strong>Capricorn</strong> is the development of responsibility, resourcefulness, reliability, self-mastery, the ability to set realistic goals and healthy boundaries. The next 28 days are a perfect time to work on these areas. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">As best as you can, prepare for the future, make commitments and recognize responsibilities -- in other words, nurture your dreams in a realistic manner -- focus on setting and achieving practical and attainable long-term goals, one step at a time, one day at a time -- not focusing on immediate results but focusing on the quality of the foundation you are building.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> also invites us to set realistic limits and boundaries, which allow everyone involved to learn from the consequences of their choices. Where in my life am I able to set realistic limits and boundaries? Where is that an obstacle in your life? What am I afraid of in those moments? What would be the worst of that?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> relates directly to the level of our own maturity. We start out on a more instinctual level, simply wanting to get the results so we can survive on the physical plane. This stage is basically fear-based and has a scarcity-mentality. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Once we get better at living on the earth plane, and we understand the rules better, we move towards ambition and wanting to challenge ourselves, so we can reach our goals and gain recognition and rewards in the process. This phase is still sometimes fear-based but we are already taking more responsibility for our part in achieving things and manifesting on a physical plane. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Eventually, as we grow spiritually and learn more about the laws of matter, earthly ambitions are eventually replaced by spiritual service. We recognize that personal gain is not the highest goal to reach, we understand that by making a contribution to society, we are giving to ourselves and others -- surpassing the physical appearance of separation and connecting to life in it\'s highest form. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">On this highest level, we are living in accordance with our conscience, from a place of maturity and inner guidance.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Ask yourself: What would my life look like if I developed 5% more discipline? 5% more integrity? 5% more commitment towards something that aligns both with myself and with life? What if I took 100% responsibility for my life, starting right now? What if I also responded to situations in a way that respects and serves all those involved? </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">  </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> <em>This New Moon aligns with Venus and Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong> and squares Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>.</em> First let\'s focus on the alignment with Venus and Pluto: This conveys an extra-potent messages about our perception of physical reality -- time and space -- and about our relationship to love, our values, power or feeling empowered. Ask yourself: If I truly had choice in the matter, what kind of future would I choose to step into? Who would I choose to connect with? Why? Who would I not choose to connect with? Why not?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>Venus in conjunction with the New Moon</em> advises us to choose wisely and from the heart. Ask yourself: Am I true to myself? Am I working too hard without making enough progress? Am I expressing my feelings truthfully? Or hiding my true feelings from others? Am I in touch with what\'s important to me -- especially in regards to relationships? Am I happy? Could I love and respect myself and life 5% more?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">With this many planets in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, it is important for us to take breaks — or simply slow down and allow ourselves to tune in. It’s important to explore ways to stay heart-centered and grounded -- seek tools or people to help you with that exploration. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Now let\'s talk about <em>the square to Uranus</em> -- the energy of freedom, innovation and reform: This combo focuses our attention on the right use of power, which respects the rights, needs, and gifts of all beings. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Ask yourself: Where do I need to be more courageous? Where do I need to \"think different\"? What if I became 5% more aware of my personal power? Where might I have given it away to others? And how might I begin to reclaim it? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Remember that change is not always progress; consider all options first and then respond, rather than react. Be flexible, and be willing to entertain new possibilities. What if -- in small or large ways -- I could help birth a new age, and with it a new world, one based on heart-centered consciousness and individual freedoms?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>The New Moon also sextiles Mars in <strong>Scorpio</strong> and Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong></em>. This is an opportunity for healing our collective wounds around feeling spiritually disconnected in our world of accomplishments. We get a chance to connect more deeply with others and bring a powerful approach to what we are currently building and working towards. Our actions tend to be in greater alignment with our deepest desires.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Ask yourself: What if I could be productive and gentle with myself at the same time? What would a compassionate approach guarantee? What is pushing or pulling at me? How could my actions become a source of empowerment? What if I allowed all actions to flow from a deep sense of authentic connectedness? What if I forgave myself and others for having flaws or limitations?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Given that it rules <strong>Capricorn</strong>, <em>Saturn\'s placement in its own sign</em> plays an important role with this New Moon: If you want to know how Saturn\'s journey in <strong>Capricorn</strong> will impact you personally in the next three years, feel free to purchase my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, <a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-recorded-webinars/\">on my website</a>, <em>or</em> for a quick preview <a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/5067/\">check out my 30-minute excerpt of the webinar</a>\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>Saturn conjuncts Mercury in <strong>Capricorn</strong></em>. This reminds us of the power of our mind; that our thoughts and words matter. What am I doing, career-wise? What is the long-term plan? How can I honor and share those goals with others in a clear and honest way? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">It\'s time to seriously think about what no longer works. As best as you can, investigate your thought processes: What feels no longer useful in my approach? What if I got real about that? What might be possible if I took 5% more responsibility for my inner dialog, and the energy those thoughts disperse?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>To sum all of this up:</strong> We are invited to become mature, responsible planetary citizens, while honoring our individuality -- in other words, making a difference, one by one -- even when it seems as though we are too little to create a big shift on our own. No matter how small it may seem, every ripple moves something, changes something...</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">This cosmic combo also directs our attention to our bottom lines. What matters most to me? What are my priorities? Am I living my truth, and thus loving my goals? Where is it best to be flexible, and where must I remain focused and in alignment with my commitments? When have I felt the happiest? What if I committed 5% more to the things, people and places in my life that make me happy? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Inner strength and self-reliance come almost entirely from dealing with adversity. Obstacles are a part of life -- they show us where we have an opportunity to become more capable -- and also where we have gone out of alignment with outer reality or inner truth. Am I on the right track, as best as I can tell? Am I walking my own path? Or someone elses? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">What obstacles can I see or sense from here? What if there was value in those obstacles? Could I send them gratitude for being given the opportunity to get back into greater alignment with myself and reality?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Choose wisely for 2018: participate consciously in the evolution of existence on this planet; not from a place of fear, but from a place of knowing your inner strength and your own personal power -- the power of your heart and your humanity! Trust your inner truth! Feel free to watch my New Moon video as well :-)</span>\r\n\r\n<em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in one of the following placements: 25-29 degrees of <strong>Capricorn, Libra, Aries,</strong> or <strong>Cancer</strong>?

Take a breath. Relax. Find your peace. Don\'t require the Universe to move more rapidly than it is. It is actually working perfectly, and it will prove that to you if you will give it a chance. Really. Trust me on this.” — Neal D. Walsh</span>\r\n<h3>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement:</h3>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">It looks like we are getting closer to launching my new online community. Right now we are aiming for Jan.16th or 17th. Keep your fingers crossed for me ;-) I\'m super-excited and at the same time I am also feeling the pressure of the enormity with this amazing new beginning for myself and everyone out there who is going to join us. But as my spiritual coach likes to remind me, \"Life is an ongoing experiment\" and \"True professionalism is about being able to be flexible and kind about unforeseen situations that come up, allowing ourselves to learn from them and finding out how to make creative adjustments.\"</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>This week\'s headline items</b>: <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">the New Moon in Capricorn becomes exact on Tuesday late evening; Venus changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius on Wednesday evening, and the Sun will do the same on Friday late evening. Last but not least, Eclipse season begins on Sunday and will last until Feb. 25th.</span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>There will also be three <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week</strong>: Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning (for 2 hours), Friday morning (for a little over 8.5 hours), and Sunday evening (for a little over 5 hours).</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday (January 15th): </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day.</b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> It will journey there <b>until Wednesday very early morning. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, be truthful with yourself about where you are at: Do you actually have a realistic view about what is so, right now, in your life? Not what you wish it to be or what you would like it to be or where you see yourself going.... What is so right now? Once you know where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\", whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday very early morning, </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">becomes exact at 1:59am EST.</span><b> We started to feel this aspect from Friday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday morning. </b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Until Friday, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">23-27 degrees</span> of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday late evening, </b><i>a long-term, opportune Jupiter/Pluto aspect </i>becomes exact at 11:13pm EST.<b> We started to feel this aspect from Tuesday (Jan. 3rd) on; it will remain strong until Wednesday (Jan. 31st).</b><i> </i><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">This combo is an opportunity to deepen our relationships: business and personal alike. </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">A positive attitude and a deeper trust in our connections with others, gives us the chance to build something meaningful and share our passions with others. We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support us in achieving professional or personal goals. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Ask yourself: Where in my life could I hone into solving situations, so I can get to where I intent to go? How could a passionate approach support my long-term goals? How could other people\'s resources support my ability to transform and stand in my power?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><b><i> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">17-21 degrees</span> </i></b><i>of</i><b><i> Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces </i></b><i>or <strong>Virgo</strong></i><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces). </i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday (Jan. 16th): </b><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>t</em><b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">he Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</span></i></b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day </b></span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">(see Monday for details).</span> </span></span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday evening, at 9:17pm EST</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,</span></span><em> t<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">he Moon aligns with the Sun in almost 27 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></span></em><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">. This starts a new Moon cycle. This is a good time to go within and seed anything we would like to accomplish for the next 28 days and maybe even beyond. Feel free to watch my New Moon video as well :-) </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">We are also about to enter Eclipse season, as the the first of two Eclipses will becomes exact on Jan. 31st with the next Lunation. I will talk more about this in my next Monthly Forecasting Forum on Feb. 3rd. Feel free to join us, as we talk about the upcoming Eclipses: Lunar and Solar Eclipse -- one of them also being a SuperMoon and therefore more potent. To register, click here now: http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">This is the first New Moon of the year and since <strong>Capricorn</strong> represents the quest for mastery on the physical plane, ask yourself: What is my relationship to the physical? Do I respect the laws of matter? Am I going about things in a realistic way? How committed am I really? Where does my inner compass point? What am I willing to undergo to overcome adversity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">The highest vibration of <strong>Capricorn</strong> is the development of responsibility, resourcefulness, reliability, self-mastery, the ability to set realistic goals and healthy boundaries. The next 28 days are a perfect time to work on these areas. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">As best as you can, prepare for the future, make commitments and recognize responsibilities -- in other words, nurture your dreams in a realistic manner -- focus on setting and achieving practical and attainable long-term goals, one step at a time, one day at a time -- not focusing on immediate results but focusing on the quality of the foundation you are building.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> also invites us to set realistic limits and boundaries, which allow everyone involved to learn from the consequences of their choices. Where in my life am I able to set realistic limits and boundaries? Where is that an obstacle in your life? What am I afraid of in those moments? What would be the worst of that?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> relates directly to the level of our own maturity. We start out on a more instinctual level, simply wanting to get the results so we can survive on the physical plane. This stage is basically fear-based and has a scarcity-mentality. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Once we get better at living on the earth plane, and we understand the rules better, we move towards ambition and wanting to challenge ourselves, so we can reach our goals and gain recognition and rewards in the process. This phase is still sometimes fear-based but we are already taking more responsibility for our part in achieving things and manifesting on a physical plane. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Eventually, as we grow spiritually and learn more about the laws of matter, earthly ambitions are eventually replaced by spiritual service. We recognize that personal gain is not the highest goal to reach, we understand that by making a contribution to society, we are giving to ourselves and others -- surpassing the physical appearance of separation and connecting to life in it\'s highest form. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">On this highest level, we are living in accordance with our conscience, from a place of maturity and inner guidance.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Ask yourself: What would my life look like if I developed 5% more discipline? 5% more integrity? 5% more commitment towards something that aligns both with myself and with life? What if I took 100% responsibility for my life, starting right now? What if I also responded to situations in a way that respects and serves all those involved? </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">  </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> <em>This New Moon aligns with Venus and Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong> and squares Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>.</em> First let\'s focus on the alignment with Venus and Pluto: This conveys an extra-potent messages about our perception of physical reality -- time and space -- and about our relationship to love, our values, power or feeling empowered. Ask yourself: If I truly had choice in the matter, what kind of future would I choose to step into? Who would I choose to connect with? Why? Who would I not choose to connect with? Why not?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>Venus in conjunction with the New Moon</em> advises us to choose wisely and from the heart. Ask yourself: Am I true to myself? Am I working too hard without making enough progress? Am I expressing my feelings truthfully? Or hiding my true feelings from others? Am I in touch with what\'s important to me -- especially in regards to relationships? Am I happy? Could I love and respect myself and life 5% more?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">With this many planets in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, it is important for us to take breaks — or simply slow down and allow ourselves to tune in. It’s important to explore ways to stay heart-centered and grounded -- seek tools or people to help you with that exploration. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Now let\'s talk about <em>the square to Uranus</em> -- the energy of freedom, innovation and reform: This combo focuses our attention on the right use of power, which respects the rights, needs, and gifts of all beings. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Ask yourself: Where do I need to be more courageous? Where do I need to \"think different\"? What if I became 5% more aware of my personal power? Where might I have given it away to others? And how might I begin to reclaim it? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Remember that change is not always progress; consider all options first and then respond, rather than react. Be flexible, and be willing to entertain new possibilities. What if -- in small or large ways -- I could help birth a new age, and with it a new world, one based on heart-centered consciousness and individual freedoms?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>The New Moon also sextiles Mars in <strong>Scorpio</strong> and Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong></em>. This is an opportunity for healing our collective wounds around feeling spiritually disconnected in our world of accomplishments. We get a chance to connect more deeply with others and bring a powerful approach to what we are currently building and working towards. Our actions tend to be in greater alignment with our deepest desires.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Ask yourself: What if I could be productive and gentle with myself at the same time? What would a compassionate approach guarantee? What is pushing or pulling at me? How could my actions become a source of empowerment? What if I allowed all actions to flow from a deep sense of authentic connectedness? What if I forgave myself and others for having flaws or limitations?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Given that it rules <strong>Capricorn</strong>, <em>Saturn\'s placement in its own sign</em> plays an important role with this New Moon: If you want to know how Saturn\'s journey in <strong>Capricorn</strong> will impact you personally in the next three years, feel free to purchase my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, <a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-recorded-webinars/\">on my website</a>, <em>or</em> for a quick preview <a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/5067/\">check out my 30-minute excerpt of the webinar</a>\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>Saturn conjuncts Mercury in <strong>Capricorn</strong></em>. This reminds us of the power of our mind; that our thoughts and words matter. What am I doing, career-wise? What is the long-term plan? How can I honor and share those goals with others in a clear and honest way? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">It\'s time to seriously think about what no longer works. As best as you can, investigate your thought processes: What feels no longer useful in my approach? What if I got real about that? What might be possible if I took 5% more responsibility for my inner dialog, and the energy those thoughts disperse?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>To sum all of this up:</strong> We are invited to become mature, responsible planetary citizens, while honoring our individuality -- in other words, making a difference, one by one -- even when it seems as though we are too little to create a big shift on our own. No matter how small it may seem, every ripple moves something, changes something...</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">This cosmic combo also directs our attention to our bottom lines. What matters most to me? What are my priorities? Am I living my truth, and thus loving my goals? Where is it best to be flexible, and where must I remain focused and in alignment with my commitments? When have I felt the happiest? What if I committed 5% more to the things, people and places in my life that make me happy? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Inner strength and self-reliance come almost entirely from dealing with adversity. Obstacles are a part of life -- they show us where we have an opportunity to become more capable -- and also where we have gone out of alignment with outer reality or inner truth. Am I on the right track, as best as I can tell? Am I walking my own path? Or someone elses? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">What obstacles can I see or sense from here? What if there was value in those obstacles? Could I send them gratitude for being given the opportunity to get back into greater alignment with myself and reality?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Choose wisely for 2018: participate consciously in the evolution of existence on this planet; not from a place of fear, but from a place of knowing your inner strength and your own personal power -- the power of your heart and your humanity! Trust your inner truth! Feel free to watch my New Moon video as well :-)</span>\r\n\r\n<em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in one of the following placements: 25-29 degrees of <strong>Capricorn, Libra, Aries,</strong> or <strong>Cancer</strong>? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly.</span></em>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for the month\'s Moon cycle -- and the very best time to do this is after the New Moon becomes exact (and definitely not during a Moon void of course). </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">So this month the two best and most potent times to set intentions would be <strong>any time between 9:17pm Tuesday evening (Jan. 26th) </strong>and<strong> 1:30am Wednesday very early morning (Jan. 17th), </strong>or<strong> between Wednesday at 3:32am </strong>and<strong> Thursday (Jan. 18th) at 9:17pm</strong> (EST/New York-time).</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Wednesday (January 17th): <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>t</em>he Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented <strong>Capricorn</strong></span></i></b><i> </i><b>until 3:32am EST </b>(see Monday for details).</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Wednesday at 1:30am EST, </b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">we enter a </span><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moon void of course (VoC)</span></a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that lasts for 2 hours, </span><b>until 3:32am EST</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">If you are awake during those two hours, use this intuitive time to take care of anything that has value for you long-term. </span></span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In general, during a Moon VoC, listen to your intuition and go with the flow. </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">s best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new.

Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Social gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Wednesday late afternoon, </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a somewhat challenging Mars/Uranus aspect </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">becomes exact at 4:37pm EST.</span><b> We started to feel this aspect from Monday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday morning. </b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed in order to see what needs adjusting -- this aspect calls for flexibility.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We experience an internal stress between our masculine energies (assertiveness/aggression) and our need to express our unique spark (and the desire to make a difference).</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are being asked to go within and look at our personal goals and desires -- and reach a new perspective on how we go about achieving them. Are we driven by personal resistance and rebellion, or motivated to positively impact humanity?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Once we get clear about our deepest motivations, we will discover new ways to move forward and embrace our uniqueness in a healthy way; we can also learn how to demonstrate our strength and power more authentically -- from a place of love and abundance, rather than fear and limitation. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">How might you get in touch with your inner genius and share it with a true desire to empower others?  What \"old\" behaviors can now be released? </span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">What might a deep, passionate connection to my vision of my future self look like?</span> What might be possible if I could get 5% more comfortable with being uncomfortable?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-26 degrees of <strong>Scorpio</strong> or <strong>Aries</strong>?

Right now we are aiming for Jan.16th or 17th. Keep your fingers crossed for me ;-) I\'m super-excited and at the same time I am also feeling the pressure of the enormity with this amazing new beginning for myself and everyone out there who is going to join us. But as my spiritual coach likes to remind me, \"Life is an ongoing experiment\" and \"True professionalism is about being able to be flexible and kind about unforeseen situations that come up, allowing ourselves to learn from them and finding out how to make creative adjustments.\"</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>This week\'s headline items</b>: <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">the New Moon in Capricorn becomes exact on Tuesday late evening; Venus changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius on Wednesday evening, and the Sun will do the same on Friday late evening.

Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, be truthful with yourself about where you are at: Do you actually have a realistic view about what is so, right now, in your life? Not what you wish it to be or what you would like it to be or where you see yourself going.... What is so right now? Once you know where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\", whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday very early morning, </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">becomes exact at 1:59am EST.</span><b> We started to feel this aspect from Friday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday morning. </b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Until Friday, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">23-27 degrees</span> of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>?

We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support us in achieving professional or personal goals. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Ask yourself: Where in my life could I hone into solving situations, so I can get to where I intent to go?

Feel free to watch my New Moon video as well :-) </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">We are also about to enter Eclipse season, as the the first of two Eclipses will becomes exact on Jan. 31st with the next Lunation.

To register, click here now: http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">This is the first New Moon of the year and since <strong>Capricorn</strong> represents the quest for mastery on the physical plane, ask yourself: What is my relationship to the physical? Do I respect the laws of matter? Am I going about things in a realistic way? How committed am I really? Where does my inner compass point? What am I willing to undergo to overcome adversity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">The highest vibration of <strong>Capricorn</strong> is the development of responsibility, resourcefulness, reliability, self-mastery, the ability to set realistic goals and healthy boundaries. The next 28 days are a perfect time to work on these areas. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">As best as you can, prepare for the future, make commitments and recognize responsibilities -- in other words, nurture your dreams in a realistic manner -- focus on setting and achieving practical and attainable long-term goals, one step at a time, one day at a time -- not focusing on immediate results but focusing on the quality of the foundation you are building.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> also invites us to set realistic limits and boundaries, which allow everyone involved to learn from the consequences of their choices. Where in my life am I able to set realistic limits and boundaries? Where is that an obstacle in your life? What am I afraid of in those moments? What would be the worst of that?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> relates directly to the level of our own maturity. We start out on a more instinctual level, simply wanting to get the results so we can survive on the physical plane. This stage is basically fear-based and has a scarcity-mentality. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Once we get better at living on the earth plane, and we understand the rules better, we move towards ambition and wanting to challenge ourselves, so we can reach our goals and gain recognition and rewards in the process. This phase is still sometimes fear-based but we are already taking more responsibility for our part in achieving things and manifesting on a physical plane. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Eventually, as we grow spiritually and learn more about the laws of matter, earthly ambitions are eventually replaced by spiritual service. We recognize that personal gain is not the highest goal to reach, we understand that by making a contribution to society, we are giving to ourselves and others -- surpassing the physical appearance of separation and connecting to life in it\'s highest form. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">On this highest level, we are living in accordance with our conscience, from a place of maturity and inner guidance.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Ask yourself: What would my life look like if I developed 5% more discipline? 5% more integrity? 5% more commitment towards something that aligns both with myself and with life? What if I took 100% responsibility for my life, starting right now? What if I also responded to situations in a way that respects and serves all those involved? </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">  </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> <em>This New Moon aligns with Venus and Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong> and squares Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>.</em> First let\'s focus on the alignment with Venus and Pluto: This conveys an extra-potent messages about our perception of physical reality -- time and space -- and about our relationship to love, our values, power or feeling empowered. Ask yourself: If I truly had choice in the matter, what kind of future would I choose to step into? Who would I choose to connect with? Why? Who would I not choose to connect with? Why not?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>Venus in conjunction with the New Moon</em> advises us to choose wisely and from the heart. Ask yourself: Am I true to myself? Am I working too hard without making enough progress? Am I expressing my feelings truthfully? Or hiding my true feelings from others? Am I in touch with what\'s important to me -- especially in regards to relationships? Am I happy? Could I love and respect myself and life 5% more?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">With this many planets in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, it is important for us to take breaks — or simply slow down and allow ourselves to tune in. It’s important to explore ways to stay heart-centered and grounded -- seek tools or people to help you with that exploration. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Now let\'s talk about <em>the square to Uranus</em> -- the energy of freedom, innovation and reform: This combo focuses our attention on the right use of power, which respects the rights, needs, and gifts of all beings. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Ask yourself: Where do I need to be more courageous? Where do I need to \"think different\"? What if I became 5% more aware of my personal power? Where might I have given it away to others? And how might I begin to reclaim it? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Remember that change is not always progress; consider all options first and then respond, rather than react. Be flexible, and be willing to entertain new possibilities. What if -- in small or large ways -- I could help birth a new age, and with it a new world, one based on heart-centered consciousness and individual freedoms?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>The New Moon also sextiles Mars in <strong>Scorpio</strong> and Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong></em>. This is an opportunity for healing our collective wounds around feeling spiritually disconnected in our world of accomplishments. We get a chance to connect more deeply with others and bring a powerful approach to what we are currently building and working towards. Our actions tend to be in greater alignment with our deepest desires.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Ask yourself: What if I could be productive and gentle with myself at the same time? What would a compassionate approach guarantee? What is pushing or pulling at me? How could my actions become a source of empowerment? What if I allowed all actions to flow from a deep sense of authentic connectedness? What if I forgave myself and others for having flaws or limitations?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Given that it rules <strong>Capricorn</strong>, <em>Saturn\'s placement in its own sign</em> plays an important role with this New Moon: If you want to know how Saturn\'s journey in <strong>Capricorn</strong> will impact you personally in the next three years, feel free to purchase my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, <a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-recorded-webinars/\">on my website</a>, <em>or</em> for a quick preview <a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/5067/\">check out my 30-minute excerpt of the webinar</a>\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>Saturn conjuncts Mercury in <strong>Capricorn</strong></em>. This reminds us of the power of our mind; that our thoughts and words matter. What am I doing, career-wise? What is the long-term plan? How can I honor and share those goals with others in a clear and honest way? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">It\'s time to seriously think about what no longer works. As best as you can, investigate your thought processes: What feels no longer useful in my approach? What if I got real about that? What might be possible if I took 5% more responsibility for my inner dialog, and the energy those thoughts disperse?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>To sum all of this up:</strong> We are invited to become mature, responsible planetary citizens, while honoring our individuality -- in other words, making a difference, one by one -- even when it seems as though we are too little to create a big shift on our own. No matter how small it may seem, every ripple moves something, changes something...</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">This cosmic combo also directs our attention to our bottom lines. What matters most to me? What are my priorities? Am I living my truth, and thus loving my goals? Where is it best to be flexible, and where must I remain focused and in alignment with my commitments? When have I felt the happiest? What if I committed 5% more to the things, people and places in my life that make me happy? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Inner strength and self-reliance come almost entirely from dealing with adversity. Obstacles are a part of life -- they show us where we have an opportunity to become more capable -- and also where we have gone out of alignment with outer reality or inner truth. Am I on the right track, as best as I can tell? Am I walking my own path? Or someone elses? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">What obstacles can I see or sense from here? What if there was value in those obstacles? Could I send them gratitude for being given the opportunity to get back into greater alignment with myself and reality?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Choose wisely for 2018: participate consciously in the evolution of existence on this planet; not from a place of fear, but from a place of knowing your inner strength and your own personal power -- the power of your heart and your humanity! Trust your inner truth! Feel free to watch my New Moon video as well :-)</span>\r\n\r\n<em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in one of the following placements: 25-29 degrees of <strong>Capricorn, Libra, Aries,</strong> or <strong>Cancer</strong>?

Take a breath. Relax. Find your peace. Don\'t require the Universe to move more rapidly than it is. It is actually working perfectly, and it will prove that to you if you will give it a chance. Really. Trust me on this.” — Neale Donald Walsh</span>\r\n<h3>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement:</h3>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are getting closer to the launch of my new online community!</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> Right now we are aiming for Jan.16th or 17th -- keep your fingers crossed for me ;-) I\'m super-excited, and at the same time, I also sometimes stress out about the scope of this amazing new beginning for myself and everyone out there who will join us. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">But as my spiritual coach likes to remind me, \"Life is an ongoing experiment\" and \"True professionalism is about being able to be flexible and kind about unforeseen situations that come up, allowing ourselves to learn from them and finding out how to make creative adjustments.\"</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>This week\'s headline item<span style=\"color: #000000;\">s</span></b>: the New Moon in Capricorn becomes exact on Tuesday; Venus changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius on Wednesday, and the Sun will do the same on Friday. Last but not least, Eclipse season begins on Sunday and runs until Feb. 25th.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>There will also be three <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week</strong>: Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning (for 2 hours), Friday morning (for a little over 8.5 hours), and Sunday evening (for a little over 5 hours).</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday (January 15th): </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day.</b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> It will journey there <b>until Wednesday very early morning. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, be truthful with yourself about where you are at: Do you actually have a realistic view about what is so, right now, in your life? Not what you wish it to be or what you would like it to be or where you see yourself going.... What is so right now? Once you know where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\", whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday very early morning, </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">becomes exact at 1:59am EST.</span><b> We started to feel this aspect from Friday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday morning. </b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Until Friday, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">23-27 degrees</span> of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday late evening: </b><i>an opportune long-term Jupiter/Pluto aspect </i>that we <b>started to feel back on Tuesday Jan. 3rd becomes exact at 11:13pm EST; it will remain strong until Wednesday, Jan. 31st </b>and brings with it an opportunity to deepen our relationships, business and personal alike. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">A positive attitude and deeper trust in our connections with others gives us the chance to build something meaningful and share our passions with them. We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support professional or personal goals. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: Where could I really dig in to solve a problem? How might passion help deliver on my long-term goals? How could other people\'s resources support my ability to create transformation? How might they help me stand in my power?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><b><i> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">17-21 degrees</span> </i></b><i>of</i><b><i> Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces </i></b><i>or <strong>Virgo</strong></i><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces). </i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday (Jan. 16th): </b><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>t</em><b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">he Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</span></i></b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day </b></span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">(see Monday for details).</span> </span></span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday evening, at 9:17pm ES</b>T<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,</span><em> the Moon aligns with the Sun in almost 27 degrees of Capricorn, </em>launching </span><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">a new Moon cycle.</span> </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is a good time to go within, to seed anything we would like to accomplish for the next 28 days, and maybe even beyond. The next section of this forecast will dig in to this in more detail; you may also want to watch my New Moon video :-) </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is the first New Moon of the year and since <strong>Capricorn</strong> represents the quest for mastery on the physical plane, some useful questions you can ask yourself include: </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">What is my relationship to the physical? Do I respect the laws of matter? Am I going about things in a realistic way? How committed am I really? Where does my inner compass point? What am I willing to undergo to overcome adversity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The highest vibration of <strong>Capricorn</strong> is the development of responsibility, resourcefulness, reliability, self-mastery, the ability to set realistic goals and healthy boundaries. The next 28 days are a perfect time to work on these areas. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, prepare for the future, make commitments and recognize responsibilities -- in other words, nurture your dreams in a realistic manner. Focus on setting and achieving practical and attainable long-term goals, one step at a time, one day at a time -- this is not about immediate results, it\'s about the quality of the foundation you are building.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> also invites us to set realistic limits and boundaries, which allow everyone involved to learn from the consequences of their choices. Where in my life am I able to set realistic limits and boundaries? Where is that an obstacle in your life? What am I afraid of in those moments? What would be the worst of that?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> relates directly to the level of our own maturity. We start out on a more instinctual level, simply wanting to get the results so we can survive on the physical plane. This stage is basically fear-based and has a scarcity-mentality. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Once we get better at living on the earth plane, and we understand the rules better, we move towards ambition and wanting to challenge ourselves, so we can reach our goals and gain recognition and rewards in the process. This phase is still sometimes fear-based but we are already taking more responsibility for our part in achieving things and manifesting on a physical plane. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Eventually, as we grow spiritually and learn more about the laws of matter, earthly ambitions are eventually replaced by spiritual service. We recognize that personal gain is not the highest goal to reach, we understand that by making a contribution to society, we are giving to ourselves and others -- surpassing the physical appearance of separation and connecting to life in it\'s highest form. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">On this highest level, we are living in accordance with our conscience, from a place of maturity and inner guidance.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Ask yourself: What would my life look like if I developed 5% more discipline? 5% more integrity? 5% more commitment towards something that aligns both with myself and with life? What if I took 100% responsibility for my life, starting right now? What if I also responded to situations in a way that respects and serves all those involved? </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">  </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> <em>This New Moon aligns with Venus and Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong> and squares Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>.</em> First let\'s focus on the alignment with Venus and Pluto: This conveys an extra-potent messages about our perception of physical reality -- time and space -- and about our relationship to love, our values, power or feeling empowered. Ask yourself: If I truly had choice in the matter, what kind of future would I choose to step into? Who would I choose to connect with? Why? Who would I not choose to connect with? Why not?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>Venus in conjunction with the New Moon</em> advises us to choose wisely and from the heart. Ask yourself: Am I true to myself? Am I working too hard without making enough progress? Am I expressing my feelings truthfully? Or hiding my true feelings from others? Am I in touch with what\'s important to me -- especially in regards to relationships? Am I happy? Could I love and respect myself and life 5% more?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">With this many planets in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, it is important for us to take breaks — or simply slow down and allow ourselves to tune in. It’s important to explore ways to stay heart-centered and grounded -- seek tools or people to help you with that exploration. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Now let\'s talk about <em>the square to Uranus</em> -- the energy of freedom, innovation and reform: This combo focuses our attention on the right use of power, which respects the rights, needs, and gifts of all beings. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Ask yourself: Where do I need to be more courageous? Where do I need to \"think different\"? What if I became 5% more aware of my personal power? Where might I have given it away to others? And how might I begin to reclaim it? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Remember that change is not always progress; consider all options first and then respond, rather than react. Be flexible, and be willing to entertain new possibilities. What if -- in small or large ways -- I could help birth a new age, and with it a new world, one based on heart-centered consciousness and individual freedoms?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>The New Moon also sextiles Mars in <strong>Scorpio</strong> and Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong></em>. This is an opportunity for healing our collective wounds around feeling spiritually disconnected in our world of accomplishments. We get a chance to connect more deeply with others and bring a powerful approach to what we are currently building and working towards. Our actions tend to be in greater alignment with our deepest desires.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Ask yourself: What if I could be productive and gentle with myself at the same time? What would a compassionate approach guarantee? What is pushing or pulling at me? How could my actions become a source of empowerment? What if I allowed all actions to flow from a deep sense of authentic connectedness? What if I forgave myself and others for having flaws or limitations?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Given that it rules <strong>Capricorn</strong>, <em>Saturn\'s placement in its own sign</em> plays an important role with this New Moon: If you want to know how Saturn\'s journey in <strong>Capricorn</strong> will impact you personally in the next three years, feel free to purchase my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, <a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-recorded-webinars/\">on my website</a>, <em>or</em> for a quick preview <a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/5067/\">check out my 30-minute excerpt of the webinar</a>\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>Saturn conjuncts Mercury in <strong>Capricorn</strong></em>. This reminds us of the power of our mind; that our thoughts and words matter. What am I doing, career-wise? What is the long-term plan? How can I honor and share those goals with others in a clear and honest way? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">It\'s time to seriously think about what no longer works. As best as you can, investigate your thought processes: What feels no longer useful in my approach? What if I got real about that? What might be possible if I took 5% more responsibility for my inner dialog, and the energy those thoughts disperse?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>To sum all of this up:</strong> We are invited to become mature, responsible planetary citizens, while honoring our individuality -- in other words, making a difference, one by one -- even when it seems as though we are too little to create a big shift on our own. No matter how small it may seem, every ripple moves something, changes something...</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">This cosmic combo also directs our attention to our bottom lines. What matters most to me? What are my priorities? Am I living my truth, and thus loving my goals? Where is it best to be flexible, and where must I remain focused and in alignment with my commitments? When have I felt the happiest? What if I committed 5% more to the things, people and places in my life that make me happy? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Inner strength and self-reliance come almost entirely from dealing with adversity. Obstacles are a part of life -- they show us where we have an opportunity to become more capable -- and also where we have gone out of alignment with outer reality or inner truth.

We started to feel the approach towards the first square already back in Spring of 2011, the last exact square will be in 2015. And we will still be able to feel the effects fo this combo until 2017.\r\n\r\nAs these two planets move through this sequence, the energy rises and falls like a slow-moving, powerful tide that reaches a high point as the square becomes exact, then slowly subsides. All seven of these squares are connected to our personal and collective evolution towards greater freedom and authenticity -- and also our ability to create something that serves ourselves and others over the long-term.<!--more-->\r\n\r\nTwo powerful planets that initiate change, transformation and revolution are in conflict with each other:\r\n\r\nFreedom loving, progress-oriented Uranus in Aries and deeply passionate, powerful Pluto in Capricorn are at odds with each other. Uranus asks us to break away from the old, the norm, and what no longer works; to go after our personal goals without consideration of what others think of us. Uranus in Aries also represents rebellious youth. Pluto asks us to empower others and ourselves through commitment and integrity to our long-term goals and how we want to be seen in the world.\r\n\r\nPluto in Capricorn also represents large, bureaucratical organizations and the power they hold over others. As you can probably see, these two energies are moving in very different directions, with very different motivations. We will see this dynamic acted out on a global level between governments, corporations and alternative organizations or youth groups.\r\n\r\nOn a more personal level, we will all experience this “tug-of-war” within our own lives. Two different areas of our lives will be affected; these areas depend on your personal chart. This is a call to stretch and grow beyond what we have known ourselves to be. This might be an uncomfortable, stressful time, but it is also the most exciting time of our lives -- and of the history of this planet.\r\n\r\nEach time Uranus and Pluto connect until 2015, the stakes will get higher, especially if we haven\'t yet stepped up to the plate. It\'s about progressive change: each of us stepping up, stretching ourselves, making a difference, one by one. Are you still watching from the sidelines? Where could you play a bigger game?\r\n\r\nWe feel a deep inner need to create personal and global change. We see and sense shifts in the world at large. Authenticity and individual self-expression are paramount. The meaning of \"Leadership\" is changing, in that we all need to lead now, in our own lives and for the higher good of all. We are being ask to follow our passions and empower ourselves and others as much as possible. Again: Each one of us is being asked to stretch ourselves, to step up and play a bigger game.

These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 1:46pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 9 hours, <strong>until 10:56pm EST.</strong> Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 10:56pm EST</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey <b>until Thursday morning. </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s therefore an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can therefore be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so as best you can, be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (February 6th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b><strong>(see Monday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday evening,</strong> <em>an opportune Venus/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 8:37pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday morning on; it will remain strong until Thursday morning.</strong><b> </b>This gives us the opportunity to experiment with how we relate to others -- to do something different or unusual -- freedom plays a big part in this aspect.\r\n\r\nOf course, others are experimenting too, so you might experience some unusual or unexpected interactions during this time -- it\'s a favorable time for social meetings and events. As best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through your relationships.\r\n\r\nWe\'re also ready to experiment with our financial undertakings -- good places to look: all things \"tech\" (electronics, technology, internet); metaphysics; the arts; group activities. This is not the best time to make long-term financial investments, unless you had an intuitive flash ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, Uranus rules Aquarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (February 7th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b><strong>(see Monday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late morning, at 10:54am EST,</strong> the <em>last Quarter Moon <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">in almost 19 degrees of </span><strong>Scorpio</strong></em> <em>makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in<strong> Aquarius.</strong></em> <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Scorpio on Monday late evening.</strong> <i>The Moon in deep-feeling </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> is making a challenging aspect to the Sun in emotionally detached </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>.</i> This may bring up some challenges.

These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 1:46pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 9 hours, until 10:56pm EST. Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 10:56pm EST</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey <b>until Thursday morning. </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s therefore an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can therefore be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so as best you can, be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (February 6th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b><strong>(see Monday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday evening,</strong> <em>an opportune Venus/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 8:37pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday morning on; it will remain strong until Thursday morning.</strong><b> </b>This gives us the opportunity to experiment with how we relate to others -- to do something different or unusual -- freedom plays a big part in this aspect.\r\n\r\nOf course, others are experimenting too, so you might experience some unusual or unexpected interactions during this time -- it\'s a favorable time for social meetings and events. As best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through your relationships.\r\n\r\nWe\'re also ready to experiment with our financial undertakings -- good places to look: all things \"tech\" (electronics, technology, internet); metaphysics; the arts; group activities. This is not the best time to make long-term financial investments, unless you had an intuitive flash ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>?

This reality comes with limitations and boundaries. Saturn teaches us about those things. For example: being a spirit being in a physical body, you cannot walk through solid objects; you must walk around them, or find an opening to walk through. This means we need to slow down. We might need to take the longer route...Saturn therefore is also about time and maturity, responsibility and commitment.\r\n\r\nSaturn has about a 29 year cycle. Every 28-29 years it comes back to the original place in your birth chart. When that happens, we are finishing one cycle of maturity and beginning a new one. We are being asked to start taking life more serious at that point, take more responsibility for our actions, interactions and long-term goals.

These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able to see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t actually make a decision. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 1:46pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 9 hours, <strong>until 10:56pm EST.</strong> Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 10:56pm EST</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey <b>until Thursday morning. </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (February 6th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b><strong>(see Monday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday evening,</strong> <em>an opportune Venus/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 8:37pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday morning on; it will remain strong until Thursday morning.</strong><b> </b>This gives us the opportunity to experiment with how we relate to others -- to do something different or unusual -- freedom plays a big part in this aspect.\r\n\r\nOf course, others are experimenting too, so you might experience some unusual or unexpected interactions during this time -- it\'s a favorable time for social meetings and events. As best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through your relationships.\r\n\r\nWe\'re also ready to experiment with our financial undertakings -- good places to look: all things \"tech\" (electronics, technology, internet); metaphysics; the arts; group activities. This is not the best time to make long-term financial investments not suggested in an intuitive flash ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, Uranus rules Aquarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (February 7th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b><strong>(see Monday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late morning, at 10:54am EST,</strong> the <em>last Quarter Moon <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">in almost 19 degrees of </span><strong>Scorpio</strong></em> <em>makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in<strong> Aquarius.</strong></em> <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Scorpio on Monday late evening.</strong> <i>The Moon in deep-feeling </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> is making a challenging aspect to the Sun in emotionally detached </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>.</i> This may bring up some challenges. However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to the upcoming Solar Eclipse, a powerful New Moon in <b>Aquarius (on Feb.15th).</b> During the last Quarter Moon, we are better served by reviewing those projects we began around the last New Moon -- in this case, that would be Jan. 16th -- as opposed to launching new ones.\r\n\r\nSince this is also the last Moon phase before the Solar Eclipse becomes exact, it also ends an Eclipse cycle; journeys begun around the time of the last Eclipse (Aug. 21st), especially those connected to finding our inner joy and a healthy self-expression of our talents, are now coming to completion.\r\n\r\nGiven that, what projects call for completion, so they can become milestones on your journey to happiness? Where have you learned to focus more on your heart\'s desire? What if you brought love and laughter to that? What have you discovered since August 2017?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find kind and creative solutions for whatever comes up, whether internally or with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-21 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Aquarius, Leo</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s last Quarter Moon.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (February 8th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><strong>until 8:53am EST (see Monday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday very early morning, at 2:16am EST,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 6.5 hours, <strong>until 8:53am EST.</strong> Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments in your life. As best as you can, find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations. Make space either for connections with like-minded people, for involvement in a cause, or for the creation of deeper emotional bonds.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday morning ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon squares Venus in <strong>Aquarius</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 8:53am EST</strong>,<em> </em><i>the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><b>, </b>where it will journey<i> <strong>until Saturday evening</strong></i><b>. </b>We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (February 9th): <b> </b></strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b></strong><strong> (see Thursday morning for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning, </strong>we may need to make some adjustments. As best you can, honor both your need for adventure and exploration of life <i>and</i> your need to go within. You may feel a pull between introvert and extrovert, or simply fast and slow. Tune in for a moment and see if you need to take a break or at least slow down a little.

We may also idealize our relationships a little — we’re feeling quite romantic, and hopeful that our dreams will be fulfilled.\r\n\r\nWith Venus in Pisces, our love is very accepting -- it comes as close to \"unconditional\" as humans can get. One way this shows up: We root for the underdog. We prefer feeling things out, to planning.\r\n\r\nAs you can imagine, we may spend our money on things that don’t make “sense” -- but if we heed intuition and allow for money to flow freely, we may discover that the Universe is always taking care of us ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? If so, beauty and love will enhance your life for the next three-and-a-half weeks. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? You may feel a strong need for romance or unconditional love -- or dream of the ideal relationship. Your finances and values may undergo the spiritual process of releasing control and trusting more to intuition and the flow of life.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday evening</strong>, <em>a challenging Sun/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 6:21pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday evening (Feb. 13th).</strong> This aspect says “stretch and grow!”. There is a feeling of enthusiasm and excitement in the air; it almost seems as if we could move mountains.\r\n\r\nAwareness is key: Be alert for undue optimism, that could lead to overextending or over-promising: As best as you can, stay connected to what\'s real — avoid exaggerations, especially when it comes to your \"feeling body\".\r\n\r\nThis is a time for collaboration and for coming together — provided we don\'t let ourselves get too overwhelmed by those historically-based emotional demons. As best as you can, take it one moment at a time, staying grounded in your vision for life.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-25 degrees of</i><b><i> Aquarius, Scorpio, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 9:21 pm EST,</strong> <i>t</i><i>he Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until next week Tuesday late morning (Feb. 13th)</strong><b>. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (February 11th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><strong>all day (see Saturday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning:</strong> we experience a sense of maturity, and of commitment towards ourselves and our long-term goals; for long-term success, focus on long-term projects that require a realistic approach or a solid commitment. <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><em>Moon in <strong>Capricorn</strong> conjuncts Saturn in <strong>Capricorn</strong> at 9:17am EST -- post at 7:30am EST</em></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (Feb. 12th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><strong>all day (see Saturday late evening for details).</strong> <em>Moon in <strong>Capricorn</strong> sextiles Neptune in <strong>Pisces</strong> at 12:08am EST.

Last but not least, Eclipse season begins on Sunday and runs until Feb. 25th.</span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">There will also be three <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning (for 2 hours), Friday morning (for a little over 8.5 hours), and Sunday evening (for a little over 5 hours).</span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday (January 15th): </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day.</b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> It will journey there <b>until Wednesday very early morning. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters. </span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us. </span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself.

Not what you wish it to be or what you would like it to be or where you see yourself going.... What is so right now? Once you know where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\", whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.</span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday very early morning, </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">becomes exact at 1:59am EST.</span><b> We started to feel this aspect from Friday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday morning. </b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body. </span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?</span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Until Friday, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity? </span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">23-27 degrees</span> of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>?

We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support professional or personal goals. </span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: Where could I really dig in to solve a problem? How might passion help deliver on my long-term goals? How could other people\'s resources support my ability to create transformation? How might they help me stand in my power?</span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><b><i> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">17-21 degrees</span> </i></b><i>of</i><b><i> Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces </i></b><i>or <strong>Virgo</strong></i><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces). </i></span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday (Jan. 16th): </b><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>t</em><b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">he Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</span></i></b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day </b></span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">(see Monday for details).</span> </span></span></span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday evening, at 9:17pm ES</b>T<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,</span><em> the Moon aligns with the Sun in almost 27 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong>, </em>launching </span><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">a new Moon cycle.</span> </span></span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is a good time to go within, to seed anything we would like to accomplish for the next 28 days, and maybe even beyond. The next section of this forecast will dig in to this in more detail; you may also want to <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/commitments-integrity/\">watch my New Moon video</a> :-) </span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is the first New Moon of the year and since <strong>Capricorn</strong> represents the quest for mastery on the physical plane, some useful questions you can ask yourself include: </span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">What is my relationship to the physical? Do I respect the laws of matter? Am I going about things in a realistic way? How committed am I really? Where does my inner compass point? What am I willing to undergo to overcome adversity? </span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The highest vibration of <strong>Capricorn</strong> is the development of responsibility, resourcefulness, reliability, self-mastery, the ability to set realistic goals and healthy boundaries. The next 28 days are a perfect time to work on these areas. </span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, prepare for the future, make commitments and recognize responsibilities -- in other words, nurture your dreams in a realistic manner. Focus on setting and achieving practical and attainable long-term goals, one step at a time, one day at a time -- this is not about immediate results, it\'s about the quality of the foundation you are building.</span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> also invites us to set the kind of realistic limits and boundaries that allow everyone involved to learn from the consequences of their choices. Where in my life am I able to set realistic limits and boundaries? Where is that an obstacle in your life? What am I afraid of in those moments? What would be the worst of that?</span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> relates directly to the level of our maturity: We start out on a more instinctual, survival level; this stage is basically fear-based, with a scarcity mentality. </span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Once we get better at living on the earth plane -- and we understand the rules better -- we transition to goal-oriented ambition and self-challenge, seeking recognition and rewards. This phase is still sometimes fear-based, but already we are taking more responsibility for our part in achieving things, and we are manifesting on the physical plane. </span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Eventually, as we grow spiritually and learn more about the laws of matter, earthly ambitions are often replaced by some form of spiritual service. We recognize that personal gain is not the only (or even the highest) goal, we see that when we contribute to others, we are also giving to ourselves -- perhaps we also surpass the physical appearance of separation and connect to life in it\'s highest form.</span> </span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">At this level, we are living in pure accordance with our conscience, from a place of maturity and inner guidance.</span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: What if I developed 5% more discipline? Integrity? What about 5% more commitment towards something that aligns both with myself and with life itself? What would 100% responsibility for my life look like? What if I responded to situations in a way that respects and serves all those involved? </span>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">  </span>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> <em>This New Moon aligns with Venus and Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong> and squares Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>.</em> </span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">First let\'s focus on the alignment with Venus and Pluto: This conveys an extra-potent message about our perception of physical reality -- time and space -- and about our relationship to love, our values, power or feeling empowered. Ask yourself: If I truly had choice in the matter, what kind of future would I choose to step into? Who would I choose to connect with? Why? Who would I not choose to connect with? Why not?</span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Venus in conjunction with the New Moon</em> advises us to choose wisely and from the heart. Ask yourself: Am I true to myself? Am I working too hard without making enough progress? Am I expressing my feelings truthfully? Or hiding my true feelings from others? Am I in touch with what\'s important to me -- especially in regards to relationships? Am I happy? Could I love and respect myself and life 5% more?</span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">With this many planets in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, it is important for us to take breaks — or simply slow down and allow ourselves to tune in. It’s important to explore ways to stay heart-centered and grounded -- seek tools or people to help you with that exploration. </span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Now let\'s talk about <em>the square to Uranus</em> -- the energy of freedom, innovation and reform. This combo focuses our attention on the right use of power -- which respects the rights, needs, and gifts of all beings. </span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: Where do I need to be more courageous? Where do I need to \"think different\"? What if I became 5% more aware of my personal power? Where might I have given it away to others? And how might I begin to reclaim it? </span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Remember that change is not always progress. Consider all options first and then respond, rather than reacting; stay flexible and be willing to entertain new possibilities. What if -- in small or large ways -- I could help birth a new age, and with it a new world, one based on heart-centered consciousness and individual freedoms?</span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>The New Moon also sextiles Mars in <strong>Scorpio</strong> and Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong></em>. This is an opportunity to heal our collective wounds around any sense of spiritual disconnection in our world of accomplishments. We get a chance to connect more deeply with others and bring a powerful approach to what we are building and working towards. Our actions tend to be in greater alignment with our deepest desires.</span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: What if I could be both productive <em>and</em> gentle with myself at the same time? What would a compassionate approach make possible? What is pushing or pulling at me? How could my actions become a source of empowerment? What if I allowed all actions to flow from a deep sense of authentic connectedness? What if I forgave myself and others for having flaws or limitations?</span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Given that it rules <strong>Capricorn</strong>, <em>Saturn\'s placement in its own sign</em> plays an important role with this New Moon -- and if you\'d like to know how Saturn\'s journey in <strong>Capricorn</strong> will impact you personally over the next three years, feel free to check out my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, available for purchase <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-recorded-webinars/\">on my website</a> (or check out a<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/5067/\"> 30-minute excerpt for free :-)</a></span>\n</span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Saturn conjuncts Mercury while in <strong>Capricorn</strong></em>. This reminds us of the power of our mind -- that our thoughts and words matter. What am I doing, career-wise? What is the long-term plan? How can I honor and share those goals with others in a clear and honest way? </span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">It\'s time to think seriously about what no longer works. As best as you can, investigate your thought processes: What no longer feels useful in my approach? What if I got real about that? What might be possible if I took 5% more responsibility for my inner dialog, and the energy those thoughts disperse?</span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>To sum all of this up:</strong> We are invited to become mature, responsible planetary citizens, while honoring our individuality -- in other words, making a difference, one by one -- even when it seems as though we are too little to create a big shift on our own. No matter how small an action may seem, every pebble makes a ripple...</span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This cosmic combo also directs our attention to our bottom lines. What matters most to me? What are my priorities? Am I living my truth, and thus loving my goals? Where is it best to be flexible, and where must I remain focused and in alignment with my commitments? When have I felt the happiest? What if I committed 5% more to the things, people and places in my life that make me happy? </span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Inner strength and self-reliance come almost entirely from adversity; obstacles are the part of life that show us where we have an opportunity to become more capable and where we have drifted from contact with outer reality or inner truth. Am I on the right track, as best as I can tell? Am I walking my own path? Or someone else\'s? </span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">What obstacles can I see or sense from here? What if there was value in those obstacles? Could I send them gratitude for being given the opportunity to get back into greater alignment with myself and reality?</span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Choose wisely for 2018 and beyond. Participate consciously in the evolution of existence on this planet, not from fear, but from knowledge of your inner strength and personal power -- the power of your heart and your humanity! Trust your inner truth!</span>\n</span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are also about to enter Eclipse season, as the first of two Eclipses becomes exact on Jan. 31st; I\'ll be talking more about this in my next Monthly Forecasting Forum on Feb. 3rd.

Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual. </span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Social gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.</span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Wednesday late afternoon, </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a somewhat challenging Mars/Uranus aspect </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">becomes exact at 4:37pm EST.</span><b> We started to feel this aspect from Monday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday morning. </b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed in order to see what needs adjusting -- this aspect calls for flexibility.</span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We experience an internal stress between our masculine energies (assertiveness/aggression) and our need to express our unique spark (and the desire to make a difference).</span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are being asked to go within and look at our personal goals and desires -- and reach a new perspective on how we go about achieving them. Are we driven by personal resistance and rebellion, or motivated to positively impact humanity?</span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Once we get clear about our deepest motivations, we will discover new ways to move forward and embrace our uniqueness in a healthy way, while demonstrating our strength and power more authentically, from a place of love and abundance, rather than fear and limitation. </span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">How might you get in touch with your inner genius? What if you shared it from a true desire to empower others?  What \"old\" behaviors can now be released? What might a deep, passionate connection to your vision of a future self look like?

A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.</span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">It\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\".

Music might help us with our thinking process and ability to get things done. </span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Let yourself be inspired! A book, a song, a movie, someone else\'s words… allow the Universe to speak to you. Open your mind to a higher vibration -- and remember, opportunities are openings... they aren\'t necessarily handed to us... we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.

If something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic… allow it to be.</span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Another Eclipse-related phenomenon: not only do Eclipses bring up uncertainty in us, they might also leave us nervous, anxious, unsettled and disoriented.

You may also want to plan Monday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 10:56pm EST</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey <b>until Thursday morning. </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (February 6th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b><strong>(see Monday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday evening,</strong> <em>an opportune Venus/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 8:37pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday morning on; it will remain strong until Thursday morning.</strong><b> </b>This gives us the opportunity to experiment with how we relate to others -- to do something different or unusual -- freedom plays a big part in this aspect.\r\n\r\nOf course, others are experimenting too, so you might experience some unusual or unexpected interactions during this time -- it\'s a favorable time for social meetings and events. As best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through your relationships.\r\n\r\nWe\'re also ready to experiment with our financial undertakings -- good places to look: all things \"tech\" (electronics, technology, internet); metaphysics; the arts; group activities. This is not the best time to make long-term financial investments not suggested in an intuitive flash ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, Uranus rules Aquarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (February 7th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b><strong>(see Monday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late morning, at 10:54am EST,</strong> the <em>last Quarter Moon in almost 19 degrees of <strong>Scorpio</strong></em> <em>makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in<strong> Aquarius.</strong></em> <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Scorpio on Monday late evening.</strong> <i>The Moon in deep-feeling </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> is making a challenging aspect to the Sun in emotionally detached </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>.</i> This may bring up some challenges. However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to the upcoming Solar Eclipse, a powerful New Moon in <b>Aquarius (on Feb.15th).</b> During the last Quarter Moon, we are better served by reviewing those projects we began around the last New Moon -- in this case, that would be Jan. 16th -- as opposed to launching new ones.\r\n\r\nSince this is also the last Moon phase before the Solar Eclipse becomes exact, it also ends an Eclipse cycle; journeys begun around the time of the last Eclipse (Aug. 21st), especially those connected to finding our inner joy and a healthy self-expression of our talents, are now coming to completion.\r\n\r\nGiven that, what projects call for completion, so they can become milestones on your journey to happiness? Where have you learned to focus more on your heart\'s desire? What if you brought love and laughter to that? What have you discovered since August 2017?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find kind and creative solutions for whatever comes up, whether internally or with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 16-21 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Aquarius, Leo</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s last Quarter Moon.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (February 8th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><strong>until 8:53am EST (see Monday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday very early morning, at 2:16am EST,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 6.5 hours, <strong>until 8:53am EST.</strong> Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments in your life. As best as you can, find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations. Make space either for connections with like-minded people, for involvement in a cause, or for the creation of deeper emotional bonds.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday morning ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 8:53am EST</strong>,<em> </em><i>the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><b>, </b>where it will journey<i> <strong>until Saturday evening</strong></i><b>. </b>We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (February 9th): <b> </b></strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b></strong><strong> (see Thursday morning for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning, </strong>we may need to make some adjustments. As best you can, honor both your need for adventure and exploration of life <i>and</i> your need to go within. You may feel a pull between introvert and extrovert, or simply fast and slow. Tune in for a moment and see if you need to take a break or at least slow down a little. As best as you can, be compassionate and kind with yourself.\r\n\r\nOn <strong>Friday afternoon,</strong> we have the opportunity to connect and collaborate with like-minded people, have an adventure, or simply do something that gets us excited about the future.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (February 10th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><i>Sagittarius</i> until 9:21pm EST (see Thursday morning for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 11:38am EST,</strong> we enter an approximately 10-hour <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>; it lasts until<strong> 9:21pm EST</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self — explore, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 6:20pm EST,</strong> <i>Venus changes signs from freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> to creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, where she will journey <strong>until March 6th</strong>.  <strong>For the next four weeks</strong>, we have a chance to connect with other people from our compassionate heart. We may also idealize our relationships a little — we’re feeling quite romantic, and hopeful that our dreams will be fulfilled.\r\n\r\nWith Venus in Pisces, our love is very accepting -- it comes as close to \"unconditional\" as humans can get. One way this shows up: We root for the underdog. We prefer feeling things out, to planning.\r\n\r\nAs you can imagine, we may spend our money on things that don’t make “sense” -- but if we heed intuition and allow for money to flow freely, we may discover that the Universe is always taking care of us ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? If so, beauty and love will enhance your life for the next three-and-a-half weeks. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? You may feel a strong need for romance or unconditional love -- or dream of the ideal relationship. Your finances and values may undergo the spiritual process of releasing control and trusting more to intuition and the flow of life.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday evening</strong>, <em>a challenging Sun/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 6:21pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday evening (Feb. 13th).</strong> This aspect says “stretch and grow!”. There is a feeling of enthusiasm and excitement in the air; it almost seems as if we could move mountains.\r\n\r\nAwareness is key: Be alert for undue optimism, that could lead to overextending or over-promising: As best as you can, stay connected to what\'s real — avoid exaggerations, especially when it comes to your \"feeling body\".\r\n\r\nThis is a time for collaboration and for coming together — provided we don\'t let ourselves get too overwhelmed by those historically-based emotional demons. As best as you can, take it one moment at a time, staying grounded in your vision for life.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-25 degrees of</i><b><i> Aquarius, Scorpio, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>?

Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (February 11th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><strong>all day (see Saturday late evening for details).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning:</strong> we experience a sense of maturity, and of commitment towards ourselves and our long-term goals; for long-term success, focus on long-term projects that require a realistic approach or a solid commitment.\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (Feb. 12th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><strong>all day (see Saturday late evening for details).</strong> <em>Moon in <strong>Capricorn</strong> sextiles Neptune in <strong>Pisces</strong> at 12:08am EST.

You may also want to plan your morning ahead of time ;-) <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">(Moon squares Uranus in <b>Aries</b>)</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday at 10:11 am EST</b> <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> where it will be <b>until Thursday evening</b>. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday early evening</b> a <i>challenging Mercury/Jupiter aspect</i> becomes exact at 5:39 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from</b> <b>Sunday and it will be strong until Thursday. </b>This aspect asks that we grow and evolve in the following areas: how we communicate our vision for the future and how much we share with others. We may have to find creative solutions to communicate; we may have to learn about our thinking process and conditioning.\r\n\r\nWe want to share ourselves without limitation. We are thus inclined to exaggeration, often unintended -- and might struggle to transform ideas into reality. The upside to all this: we can be extraordinarily funny, interesting and creative.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday </b><i>an opportune Sun/Uranus aspect</i><b> </b>becomes exact at 9:23pm EST. <b>We started to feel this aspect Sunday evening on, and it will be strong until Thursday night. </b>We have the opportunity to become aware of an original or unique approach to life. Flexibility is the key to success at this time; pleasant changes may be in store -- certainly unexpected ones ;-)\r\n\r\nWhat is your uniqueness? How could you express that proudly and authentically? As best as you can, watch out for messages from the Universe! Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us: We have to \"realize\" it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo</i></b><i> or</i><b><i> Aquarius </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday (Feb. 14<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> (Valentine’s Day) <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>all day</b> (see Tuesday late morning for details)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday morning</strong> is an opportunity to connect with others and explore actively the things that can bring us progress. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>(Moon in Aquarius sextiles Mars in Sagittarius 9:29am EST -- post at 7:30am EST)</em></span>\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday </b>is also the <i>last day before the Solar Eclipse in</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact. There is some potent energy coming our way; it would be wise to prepare ourselves to be transformed by it, allowing for our consciousness upgrade to be installed.\r\n\r\nThis is a good time to slow things down and go within. For many of us, this will be a stretch, as we want to do just the opposite: jump the gun, get started with something new, act impulsively, etc. This is quite common right before a Solar Eclipse. As best as you can, stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions and connect to your inner wisdom.\r\n\r\nIt comes down to this: just for now and just as best as you can... could you simply allow what is... to be? Could you simply be the “observer” until the upgrade is complete?\r\n\r\nRather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing things. Think back to late Aug. 2017 -- the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo. What did you start around then? How could you complete it, or move it to the next level?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take the days immediately before and after the Eclipse for meditation, contemplation, journaling — anything that supports an objective understanding of your own thoughts and visions.\r\n\r\nOf course if, like most of us, you have other obligations: take 5 minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, get quiet and be with yourself (i.e. your inspirational Self, your higher mind). Ask yourself: What might become possible if you gave this to yourself on a regular basis?\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday (Feb. 15<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>) </b>is a big day! <i>The Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>until 9:42pm EST</b> (see Tuesday late morning for details)\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday morning</b> an <i>opportune Mercury/Uranus aspect</i> becomes exact at 10:07am EST. <b>We started to feel this from aspect from Wednesday on and it will be strong until Friday</b>.This is an opportunity to connect our thinking and communication to a brighter, more collaborative vision for the future.\r\n\r\nIt also brings an opportunity for insight, novelty and some really unusual conversations. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to realize it.\r\n\r\nThis aspect also brings an opportunity to view things from a different perspective, or put a new spin on \"old\" thinking. We like to connect in unusual ways; any group activities or brainstorming with like-minded people could generate amazing insights -- this might be a busy day. As best as you can, or want to... stay open to other dimensions ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> <i>(Mercury is the ruler of Virgo and Gemini; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\nOn <b>Thursday at 4:05pm EST, </b><i>a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse in 27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> becomes exact. </i>This is the beginning of both a new Moon cycle and an Eclipse cycle.  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\nEclipses take place approximately every 6 months; <i>Solar Eclipses</i> are extra-powerful New Moons that end one 19-year cycle and begin another — the last Solar Eclipse in this same degree of Aquarius was back on Feb. 16th, 1999. We are likely to experience a resonance between now and that time — \"resonant\", rather than identical — so think back to the Spring of 1999:\r\n\r\nWere there any major endings and beginnings? What was important back then? If there were a call this time to take those priorities to the next level… Where would that next level find you?\r\n\r\nIf you\'re looking for more guidance on those questions, I would suggest taking a look at your Natal Chart: the House placement of the Eclipse will indicate which area of life you\'re most ready to take to a new level of consciousness.\r\n\r\nIf that idea appeals, I suggest checking out my <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">30-minute class, \"How to Read My Birth Chart”</a> -- you might also want to purchase the video of the most recent <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">Forecasting Forum</a> -- we looked directly at our own birth charts to see how this Solar Eclipse will affect each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar, available <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">on my website</a>).\r\n\r\nOr...\r\n\r\n<b>Get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, <b>plus</b> a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\r\n\r\nAlthough we have experienced several Eclipses in the Leo/Aquarius polarity since last year, this will be the <i>first Solar Eclipse in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>. This points to a new beginning of some sort, with the visionary Aquarian energy impacting the area of life indicated by its house placement in our individual birth charts.\r\n\r\nSolar Eclipses reveal pathways that can take us to the next level of our evolution. They herald shifts in consciousness; the shift connected with this particular Eclipse will unfold over the next 6 months.\r\n\r\nThe Sun and Moon are connected to one of the Moon Nodes during an Eclipse; in this case, the South Node -- and <i>South Node Eclipses</i> can help us release energies or attachments that no longer serve our Soul’s evolution. Again, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">feel free to check out my webinar about the Eclipses</a> to see where this new beginning and next level of your Soul\'s evolution takes place for you.\r\n\r\nEclipses are Uranian in nature; as such, they are times of uncertainty -- so pretty much anything could happen <b>between now and the end of Eclipse season (Feb. 25th).</b>\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, stay both grounded <i>and</i> flexible — and don\'t jump the gun: If you feel compelled to do something, do your best to simply observe the urge. The exception might be something that happens organically -- but if you are ambivalent about a possible action, better hold off at least until the end of Eclipse Season (Feb. 25th).\r\n\r\nEclipses bring major endings and beginnings. As best you can, trust that whatever is leaving is making space for something better -- the more willing we are to change, the easier it will be.\r\n\r\nThat said, projects and interactions that got underway prior to Eclipse season (i.e. before Jan. 21st) are another matter -- don’t stop your life just because it is Eclipse season ;-) Pay attention also to anything that got started at the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo, in August of last year.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Do I have a better understanding of what brings me joy? Am I more courageous and self-expressed?\r\n\r\nWith the <i>Solar Eclipse</i> in <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>, we have our eye on the future. The highest vibration of Aquarius gives us the opportunity to see a clear vision for our life -- and we are ready to make huge improvements.\r\n\r\n<strong>Aquarius</strong> also deals with the power of ideals, technology, and inventions. We are interested in the collective focus on changing group consciousness; we strive for equality, collaboration, progress. This eclipse invites us to bring this higher vibration to our ability to be courageous and joyful in our own right.\r\n\r\n<i>South Node Eclipses</i> invite us to become aware of the lower vibrations of a sign, so we can release those energies or attachments that no longer serve our evolution, and move toward the higher vibration of the sign -- in this case, that would obviously be Aquarius -- so what do the lower Aquarian vibrations look and feel like?\r\n\r\nAt a lower <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, we feel like outsiders -- as though we don\'t fit in, are maybe a little <i>too</i> different. We want to rebel against social structures that don\'t fit with our vision.\r\n\r\nWe get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not take responsibility for our part in the collective, when we do not honor our individual genius, our unique contribution to society or our communities. Ask yourself:\r\n\r\nWhat stops me from connecting to my inner genius? What if I allowed myself to be both different <i>and</i> connected to others? What if taking responsibility for \"how things are\" was the perfect jump-start for a better future?\r\n\r\nTo move even further into that higher <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, try also asking yourself the following questions: Where am I called to make a difference? What could I, as an individual, do for humanity? And how might group consciousness help humanity make progress? Where can I begin?\r\n\r\nEvery single one of us has a special gift, a spark unique to us; when we access our inner genius and share it with the world, we can make quantum leaps of insight and embark on remarkable collaborations with others. Ask yourself: How does my inner genius communicate? Where does it want to show up?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) currently in <strong>Aries</strong>, sextiles the the Sun, Moon and Mercury in <strong>Aquarius</strong>. </i>This is a tremendous opportunity for all of us to become more aware of our individual impact on the collective: We are all agents of change. Already. Always.\r\n\r\nRight now, our individual capacity to effect change is far greater than we realize — especially for those of us with Uranus, Aquarius, or 11th house planets strongly emphasized in our birth chart — and when we team up with others who also care deeply about creating a better future, we can create real change.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How can I inspire others to foster progress? What becomes possible when we all connect with the intention to create meaningful change for everyone? For all living things?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong> squares the Solar Eclipse, sextiles Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, and trines Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong>. </i>This combo invites us to stretch ourselves for the duration of this Eclipse cycle -- to grow beyond what we currently know ourselves to be -- it supports our ability to build a more meaningful future and allows us to engage more fully in our current healing process.\r\n\r\nHere\'s a good start: We all have \"survival tactics\" we formed in response to past circumstances. Ask yourself: What if I expanded my awareness and comprehension of my personal survival tactics by just 5%? What might a new perspective on my fears and defenses show me? What if I relentlessly questioned old beliefs about intimate or financial partnerships? What might I discover about what has become true in the meantime? If I genuinely allowed this insight to change my behaviors and expectations, what might that look like?\r\n\r\nAs always when Chiron is involved, aim for wholeness, forgiveness — above all, keep a courageously open heart — our light shines all the brighter when all of our authentic self is visible, even the shadowy parts :-)\r\n\r\n<i>Eclipses</i> are a time for clarifying and affirming our highest path. We are bound to experience a release -- and a recalibration: “old” codes will get deleted and new programming downloaded. This is especially true when connected with our vision for the future (and for the collective).\r\n\r\nSuppressing or denying the unique gifts we each bring to the collective experience is even less wise than before; we are more aware than ever that we <b>are interconnected</b> and thus every single one of us contributes to the human experience and is capable of making a difference on this shared journey.\r\n\r\nSince Eclipse season continues until Feb. 25th, I highly recommend again that you treat yourself to the video of my most recent <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">Forecasting Forum</a> (<a href=\"https://goo.gl/uB8R7j\">https://goo.gl/uB8R7j</a>) -- we covered the Eclipses, including this Solar Eclipse in <b>Aquarius</b>, looking directly at our own birth charts to see how this affects each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">on my website</a>).\r\n\r\nOr...\r\n\r\nYou may recall that I now offer membership plans -- you could <b>get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, plus a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum, by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\r\n\r\n<b>Between now and Feb. 25th</b>, allow for the new templates to download; stay centered and do your best to ground from within. Try using conscious breathing, flexibility -- and best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body… And if nothing else, remember: this won\'t last forever -- in another two weeks, the downloads are complete ;-)  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">Again, I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in one of the following placements: 22-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, Scorpio, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly.</i>\r\n\r\nNow let’s talk “Intentions” :-) Regular readers will know that we usually use the time of the New Moon to set intentions for the coming month.\r\n\r\nWith a Solar Eclipse we want to <b>wait 48 hours before setting our intentions</b>. In Saturdays Forecast, I’ll be talking about setting some powerful intentions, not just for the next month as is usual for a New Moon, but for the next <i>six</i> months -- and I\'ll give you the very best times for setting them. <i></i>\r\n<i></i>\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Thursday late afternoon, at 4:05pm EST,</b> at the same time as the New Moon becomes exact, we also enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 6 hours, <b>until 9:42 pm EST</b>. Use this intuitive time to go within and meditate or pray/give thanks/converse with your higher Self.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your Thursday evening ahead of time ;-) <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">(Moon conjuncts Sun in Aquarius)</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday evening,  </b><i>an opportune Venus/Saturn aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:19 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday night and it will stay strong until Saturday. </b>This aspect gives us an opportunity to bring a sense of realism to our relationships, values, and financial affairs: We are more able to see what really needs to be dealt with in those areas and take responsibility for our handling of them.\r\n\r\nOn a financial level, we have an opportunity to see more clearly when and how we might make long-term investments. There\'s no need to rush anything; think it through carefully and responsibly -- do the \"due diligence\". Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us, we have to \"take\" it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 4-8 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)</i>.\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday evening at 9:42 pm EST,</b> <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces,</i></b><i> </i>where it will journey <b>until Sunday morning</b>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<b>Friday (Feb. 16<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>) </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <b>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday morning</strong>, <span style=\"color: #993300;\">we get an opportunity to be very present; also to focus on the  practical and our long-term plans.

If we heed intuition and allow for all things to flow freely, we may discover that the Universe is always taking care of us ;-) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>(Moon in Pisces conjunct Venus in Pisces 11:36 am -- post at 9:30am EST)</em></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late evening,</strong> <span style=\"color: #993300;\">we feel a need to go within and slow down -- and we also want to move fast and have a new experience. This tension clearly invites us to stretch a little and resolve it through creative solutions -- the key here is to listen to our intuition, so we don\'t drive ourselves or others crazy</span>. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>(Moon in Pisces squares Mars in Sagittarius 11:11 pm -- 9pm EST)</em></span>\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Friday late evening,</strong> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>(Moon in Pisces conjunct Neptune in Pisces 11:31 pm -- post at 9:30pm EST)</em></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>Friday</strong> is also Chinese New Year. Since I am not so familiar with Chinese astrology, I\'m sharing an excerpt from a newsletter that I received last week: \"Today is the start of the Chinese year of the Earth Dog. In Chinese tradition, Earth dogs are faithful, considerate and well-disciplined.\" -- Astro Butterfly</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday (Feb. 17</b><b><sup>th</sup></b><b>): </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday morning,</b> <i>a challenging Mars/Neptune aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:20 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Sunday evening and it will be strong until next week Thursday morning</b>. This aspect is asking us to stretch ourselves, in order to resolve a tension between the things we want to go after, versus our feelings about a higher, spiritual calling. We may be chasing a dream... or a fantasy.\r\n\r\nOrdinary life may seem drab and uninteresting to us right now. We tend to either over- or underestimate our own power and abilities. We want something that stirs our imagination: Some vision or ideal or dream to motivate us.\r\n\r\nWe have a strong urge to act out our fantasies or live out our dream -- and we have the energy now to DO that which others only talk or dream about; however we tend to feel scattered. As best as you can, slow down and listen to your intuition before aimlessly zooming ahead. Inspire yourself and others.\r\n\r\n<i>Most impacted by this aspect: those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 10-16 degrees of</i><b><i> Sagittarius, Pisces</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Gemini, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday early morning, </b><i>a Sun/Mercury alignment</i> <i>in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact at 7:27 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday evening on, and it will be strong until next week Tuesday evening. </b>This aspect indicates a confident mind and an analytical approach to life. Intelligence and communication abilities are strong at this time; however, we may not listen as well as the other speaks -- we might be too busy thinking about what to say next.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">Given that this alignment takes place in <strong>Aquarius</strong>, we may feel particularly cool and collected, and detached -- do your best to not to be arrogant or get stuck in rigid thinking.</span>\r\n\r\nWe want an active role in communications -- it\'s very hard for us to passively listen and absorb information right now. What we say or write now has impact, so as best as you can, choose your words wisely. If people hung on your every word, what would you say then? What would you hold back from saying?\r\n\r\nOur opinions are strong and our thinking independent -- and we\'re proud of both -- our egos may therefore get bruised if we don\'t feel \"heard\". As best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have a different opinion and that\'s ok.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 26-29 degrees of  </i><strong><i>Aquarius, Leo, Scorpio, Taurus, </i></strong><i>or</i><strong><i> </i></strong><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\">Pisces, Virgo, </b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo, Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday</b><b> afternoon, after 4:05pm EST</b>, is also the best time to set<i> our powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse Intentions</i>. Doing so during a Solar Eclipse is a little different from the regular monthly New Moon process: we are setting those intentions for the whole 6-month Eclipse cycle, rather than just for the next 28 days.\r\n\r\nSo when is the best time to do this? With a Solar Eclipse it is best to wait 48 hours after the Eclipse has been exact before setting any intentions; as always, we also want to avoid any <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> phases.\r\n\r\nThis gives us two \"windows\" for our 6-month intention-setting (all times are EST, which is the New York timezone):\r\n\r\nThe first window is on <b>Saturday, Feb. 17th, between 4:05pm and 5:14pm.</b>\r\n\r\nThe<b> </b>second would be <b>between 7:05am on Sunday, Feb. 18th, and 4:05pm the following day (Monday, Feb. 19th). </b>\r\n\r\nMake them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the <strong>Aquarian</strong> energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nThis Solar Eclipse reminds us that to be fully alive requires us to constantly stretch, grow, and change. So, while writing your intentions, ask yourself: What would it take for me to release old patterns from the past? How might that free me to create a more powerful vision for the future?\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday early evening,</b> <b>at 5:14 pm EST,</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 14 hours, <b>until 7:05 am EST (Sunday morning)</b>. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">Use this intuitive time to explore beliefs connected to past experiences that left you feeling disempowered. How could a compassionate approach to the past allow for a new perspective?</span>\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your Saturday evening and Sunday early morning ahead of time ;-) <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">(Moon trines Jupiter in <b>Scorpio</b>)</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Late Saturday evening at 11:28 pm EST </b><i>Mercury changes signs from freedom-loving, forward thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> to creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i>.</b> It will journey through Pisces until <b>March 6<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b>. We are moving from the mind into the heart. For these next two weeks, we get a chance to communicate with compassion -- we see the commonalities between us all, rather than what separates us.\r\n\r\nWe seem to be connected to Source more easily during this time -- if we allow that energy to come through -- and our thinking will be very creative, imaginative and intuitive.\r\n\r\nThe key with this energy is to remain in the “here and now” and open up to a higher vibration. If we can do that, we will be able to download information from an intuitive place, rather than thinking things through. This could also be the reason why our mind is slowing down a bit and why we speak more softly.\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> also offers us an opportunity to let go of any mental structures, conditionings or fears that are no longer serving us. If you are not connected to your intuition, you may want to double check with other people, before signing any documents or buying any big-ticket items. Are you ready to connect to your intuition more fully? Can you allow for the unfolding process, trusting your higher Self more fully?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more talkative during this time. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>?

Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday afternoon at 12:18 pm</b> <i>the Sun moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> where it will remain <b>until March 20th. </b>This brings our awareness to our sense of oneness with everyone and everything around us. We feel like sponges, able to pick up all energy around us; this also makes us more sensitive and emotional. We are more drawn towards expressing ourselves in a creative or spiritual way.\r\n\r\nMusic or energy healing gives us vitality and can heighten our own personal vibrations. We need to slow down a little and listen to our intuition more fully -- if we ignore our feelings and the subtle messages we are getting, we will most likely feel more anxious and somewhat frustrated. This could also be connected to the slow pace that our body or our surroundings are demanding of us.\r\n\r\nThe keyword here is \"allowing\": as best as you can, be aware of what you are resisting, moment to moment, and create some space -- allow it to be as it is. Notice when you are sensing someone else\'s feelings rather than your own.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces </i></b><i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign.

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n•Moon in Capricorn sextiles Neptune in Pisces 12:08 am\r\n\r\n•Moon in Capricorn conjunct Pluto in Capricorn 2:22 pm\r\n\r\n•Moon in Capricorn sextiles Jupiter in Scorpio 6:42 pm\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday (Feb. 13<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> <i>the Moon remains in practical, </i><i>accomplishment-oriented</i><i> </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> <b>until 10:11am EST</b> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday very early morning,</b> <b>at 12:43am EST,</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for about 9.5 hours, <b>until 10:11am EST</b>. Use this intuitive time to…\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your morning ahead of time ;-) <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">(Moon squares Uranus in <b>Aries</b>)</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday at 10:11 am EST</b> <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> where it will be <b>until Thursday evening</b>. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday early evening</b> a <i>challenging Mercury/Jupiter aspect</i> becomes exact at 5:39 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from</b> <b>Sunday and it will be strong until Thursday. </b>This aspect asks that we grow and evolve in the following areas: how we communicate our vision for the future and how much we share with others. We may have to find creative solutions to communicate; we may have to learn about our thinking process and conditioning.\r\n\r\nWe want to share ourselves without limitation. We are thus inclined to exaggeration, often unintended -- and might struggle to transform ideas into reality. The upside to all this: we can be extraordinarily funny, interesting and creative.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday </b><i>an opportune Sun/Uranus aspect</i><b> </b>becomes exact at 9:23pm EST. <b>We started to feel this aspect Sunday evening on, and it will be strong until Thursday night. </b>We have the opportunity to become aware of an original or unique approach to life. Flexibility is the key to success at this time; pleasant changes may be in store -- certainly unexpected ones ;-)\r\n\r\nWhat is your uniqueness? How could you express that proudly and authentically? As best as you can, watch out for messages from the Universe! Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us: We have to \"realize\" it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo</i></b><i> or</i><b><i> Aquarius </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday (Feb. 14<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> (Valentine’s Day) <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>all day</b> (see Tuesday late morning for details)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday morning</strong> is an opportunity to connect with others and explore actively the things that can bring us progress. (•Moon in Aquarius sextiles Mars in Sagittarius 9:29am EST -- post at 7:30am EST)\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday </b>is also the <i>last day before the Solar Eclipse in</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact. There is some potent energy coming our way; it would be wise to prepare ourselves to be transformed by it, allowing for our consciousness upgrade to be installed.\r\n\r\nThis is a good time to slow things down and go within. For many of us, this will be a stretch, as we want to do just the opposite: jump the gun, get started with something new, act impulsively, etc. This is quite common right before a Solar Eclipse. As best as you can, stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions and connect to your inner wisdom.\r\n\r\nIt comes down to this: just for now and just as best as you can... could you simply allow what is... to be? Could you simply be the “observer” until the upgrade is complete?\r\n\r\nRather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing things. Think back to late Aug. 2017 -- the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo. What did you start around then? How could you complete it, or move it to the next level?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take the days immediately before and after the Eclipse for meditation, contemplation, journaling — anything that supports an objective understanding of your own thoughts and visions.\r\n\r\nOf course if, like most of us, you have other obligations: take 5 minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, get quiet and be with yourself (i.e. your inspirational Self, your higher mind). Ask yourself: What might become possible if you gave this to yourself on a regular basis?\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday (Feb. 15<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>) </b>is a big day! <i>The Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>until 9:42pm EST</b>  (see Tuesday late morning for details)\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday morning</b> an <i>opportune Mercury/Uranus aspect</i> becomes exact at 10:07am EST. <b>We started to feel this from aspect from Wednesday on and it will be strong until Friday</b>.\r\n\r\nThis is an opportunity to connect our thinking and communication to a brighter, more collaborative vision for the future.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nIt also brings an opportunity for insight, novelty and some really unusual conversations. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to realize it.\r\n\r\nThis aspect also brings an opportunity to view things from a different perspective, or put a new spin on \"old\" thinking. We like to connect in unusual ways; any group activities or brainstorming with like-minded people could generate amazing insights -- this might be a busy day. As best as you can, or want to... stay open to other dimensions ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> <i>(Mercury is the ruler of Virgo and Gemini; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\nOn <b>Thursday at 4:05pm EST, </b><i>a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse in 27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> becomes exact. </i>This is the beginning of both a new Moon cycle and an Eclipse cycle.  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\nEclipses take place approximately every 6 months; <i>Solar Eclipses</i> are extra-powerful New Moons that end one 19-year cycle and begin another — the last Solar Eclipse in this same degree of Aquarius was back on Feb. 16th, 1999. We are likely to experience a resonance between now and that time — \"resonant\", rather than identical — so think back to the Spring of 1999:\r\n\r\nWere there any major endings and beginnings? What was important back then? If there were a call this time to take those priorities to the next level… Where would that next level find you?\r\n\r\nIf you\'re looking for more guidance on those questions, I would suggest taking a look at your Natal Chart: the House placement of the Eclipse will indicate which area of life you\'re most ready to take to a new level of consciousness.\r\n\r\nIf that idea appeals, I suggest checking out my <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">30-minute class, \"How to Read My Birth Chart”</a> -- you might also want to purchase the video of the most recent <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">Forecasting Forum</a> -- we looked directly at our own birth charts to see how this Solar Eclipse will affect each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar, available <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">on my website</a>).\r\n\r\nOr...\r\n\r\n<b>Get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, <b>plus</b> a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\r\n\r\nAlthough we have experienced several Eclipses in the Leo/Aquarius polarity since last year, this will be the <i>first Solar Eclipse in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>. This points to a new beginning of some sort, with the visionary Aquarian energy impacting the area of life indicated by its house placement in our individual birth charts.\r\n\r\nSolar Eclipses reveal pathways that can take us to the next level of our evolution. They herald shifts in consciousness; the shift connected with this particular Eclipse will unfold over the next 6 months.\r\n\r\nThe Sun and Moon are connected to one of the Moon Nodes during an Eclipse; in this case, the South Node -- and <i>South Node Eclipses</i> can help us release energies or attachments that no longer serve our Soul’s evolution. Again, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">feel free to check out my webinar about the Eclipses</a> to see where this new beginning and next level of your Soul\'s evolution takes place for you.\r\n\r\nEclipses are Uranian in nature; as such, they are times of uncertainty -- so pretty much anything could happen <b>between now and the end of Eclipse season (Feb. 25th).</b>\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, stay both grounded <i>and</i> flexible — and don\'t jump the gun: If you feel compelled to do something, do your best to simply observe the urge. The exception might be something that happens organically -- but if you are ambivalent about a possible action, better hold off at least until the end of Eclipse Season (Feb. 25th).\r\n\r\nEclipses bring major endings and beginnings. As best you can, trust that whatever is leaving is making space for something better -- the more willing we are to change, the easier it will be.\r\n\r\nThat said, projects and interactions that got underway prior to Eclipse season (i.e. before Jan. 21st) are another matter -- don’t stop your life just because it is Eclipse season ;-) Pay attention also to anything that got started at the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo, in August of last year.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Do I have a better understanding of what brings me joy? Am I more courageous and self-expressed?\r\n\r\nWith the <i>Solar Eclipse</i> in <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>, we have our eye on the future. The highest vibration of Aquarius gives us the opportunity to see a clear vision for our life -- and we are ready to make huge improvements.\r\n\r\n<strong>Aquarius</strong> also deals with the power of ideals, technology, and inventions. We are interested in the collective focus on changing group consciousness; we strive for equality, collaboration, progress. This eclipse invites us to bring this higher vibration to our ability to be courageous and joyful in our own right.\r\n\r\n<i>South Node Eclipses</i> invite us to become aware of the lower vibrations of a sign, so we can release those energies or attachments that no longer serve our evolution, and move toward the higher vibration of the sign -- in this case, that would obviously be Aquarius -- so what do the lower Aquarian vibrations look and feel like?\r\n\r\nAt a lower <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, we feel like outsiders -- as though we don\'t fit in, are maybe a little <i>too</i> different. We want to rebel against social structures that don\'t fit with our vision.\r\n\r\nWe get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not take responsibility for our part in the collective, when we do not honor our individual genius, our unique contribution to society or our communities. Ask yourself:\r\n\r\nWhat stops me from connecting to my inner genius? What if I allowed myself to be both different <i>and</i> connected to others? What if taking responsibility for \"how things are\" was the perfect jump-start for a better future?\r\n\r\nTo move even further into that higher <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, try also asking yourself the following questions: Where am I called to make a difference? What could I, as an individual, do for humanity? And how might group consciousness help humanity make progress? Where can I begin?\r\n\r\nEvery single one of us has a special gift, a spark unique to us; when we access our inner genius and share it with the world, we can make quantum leaps of insight and embark on remarkable collaborations with others. Ask yourself: How does my inner genius communicate? Where does it want to show up?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) currently in <strong>Aries</strong>, sextiles the the Sun, Moon and Mercury in <strong>Aquarius</strong>. </i>This is a tremendous opportunity for all of us to become more aware of our individual impact on the collective: We are all agents of change. Already. Always.\r\n\r\nRight now, our individual capacity to effect change is far greater than we realize — especially for those of us with Uranus, Aquarius, or 11th house planets strongly emphasized in our birth chart — and when we team up with others who also care deeply about creating a better future, we can create real change.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How can I inspire others to foster progress? What becomes possible when we all connect with the intention to create meaningful change for everyone? For all living things?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong> squares the Solar Eclipse, sextiles Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, and trines Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong>. </i>This combo invites us to stretch ourselves for the duration of this Eclipse cycle -- to grow beyond what we currently know ourselves to be -- it supports our ability to build a more meaningful future and allows us to engage more fully in our current healing process.\r\n\r\nHere\'s a good start: We all have \"survival tactics\" we formed in response to past circumstances. Ask yourself: What if I expanded my awareness and comprehension of my personal survival tactics by just 5%? What might a new perspective on my fears and defenses show me? What if I relentlessly questioned old beliefs about intimate or financial partnerships? What might I discover about what has become true in the meantime? If I genuinely allowed this insight to change my behaviors and expectations, what might that look like?\r\n\r\nAs always when Chiron is involved, aim for wholeness, forgiveness — above all, keep a courageously open heart — our light shines all the brighter when all of our authentic self is visible, even the shadowy parts :-)\r\n\r\n<i>Eclipses</i> are a time for clarifying and affirming our highest path. We are bound to experience a release -- and a recalibration: “old” codes will get deleted and new programming downloaded. This is especially true when connected with our vision for the future (and for the collective).\r\n\r\nSuppressing or denying the unique gifts we each bring to the collective experience is even less wise than before; we are more aware than ever that we <b>are interconnected</b> and thus every single one of us contributes to the human experience and is capable of making a difference on this shared journey.\r\n\r\nSince Eclipse season continues until Feb. 25th, I highly recommend again that you treat yourself to the video of my most recent <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">Forecasting Forum</a> (<a href=\"https://goo.gl/uB8R7j\">https://goo.gl/uB8R7j</a>) -- we covered the Eclipses, including this Solar Eclipse in <b>Aquarius</b>, looking directly at our own birth charts to see how this affects each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">on my website</a>).\r\n\r\nOr...\r\n\r\nYou may recall that I now offer membership plans -- you could <b>get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, plus a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum, by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\r\n\r\n<b>Between now and Feb. 25th</b>, allow for the new templates to download; stay centered and do your best to ground from within. Try using conscious breathing, flexibility -- and best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body… And if nothing else, remember: this won\'t last forever -- in another two weeks, the downloads are complete ;-)  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">Again, I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in one of the following placements: 22-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, Scorpio, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly.</i>\r\n\r\nNow let’s talk “Intentions” :-) Regular readers will know that we use the time of the New Moon to set intentions for the coming month.\r\n\r\nWith a Solar Eclipse we want to <b>wait 48 hours before setting our intentions</b>. In Saturdays Forecast, I’ll be talking about setting some powerful intentions, not just for the next month as is usual for a New Moon, but for the next <i>six</i> months -- and I\'ll give you the very best times for setting them. <i></i>\r\n<i></i>\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Thursday late afternoon, at 4:05pm EST,</b> at the same time as the New Moon becomes exact, we also enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 6 hours, <b>until 9:42 pm EST</b>. Use this intuitive time to…\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your Thursday evening ahead of time ;-) (Moon conjuncts Sun in Aquarius)\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday evening,  </b><i>an opportune Venus/Saturn aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:19 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday night and it will stay strong until Saturday. </b>This aspect gives us an opportunity to bring a sense of realism to our relationships, values, and financial affairs: We are more able to see what really needs to be dealt with in those areas and take responsibility for our handling of them.\r\n\r\nOn a financial level, we have an opportunity to see more clearly when and how we might make long-term investments. There\'s no need to rush anything; think it through carefully and responsibly -- do the \"due diligence\". Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us, we have to \"take\" it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 4-8 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)</i>.\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday evening at 9:42 pm EST</b> <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces,</i></b><i> </i>where it will journey <b>until Sunday morning</b>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<b>Friday (Feb. 16</b><b><sup>th</sup></b><b>) </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <b>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details)\r\n\r\n•Moon in Pisces sextiles Saturn in Capricorn 9:58 am\r\n\r\n•Moon in Pisces conjunct Venus in Pisces 11:36 am\r\n\r\n•Moon in Pisces squares Mars in Sagittarius 11:11 pm\r\n\r\n•Moon in Pisces conjunct Neptune in Pisces 8:31 pm\r\n\r\n•Chinese New Year -- Year of the Dog\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday (Feb. 17</b><b><sup>th</sup></b><b>): </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday morning,</b> <i>a challenging Mars/Neptune aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:20 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Sunday evening and it will be strong until next week Thursday morning</b>. This aspect is asking us to stretch ourselves, in order to resolve a tension between the things we want to go after, versus our feelings about a higher, spiritual calling. We may be chasing a dream... or a fantasy.\r\n\r\nOrdinary life may seem drab and uninteresting to us right now. We tend to either over- or underestimate our own power and abilities. We want something that stirs our imagination: Some vision or ideal or dream to motivate us.\r\n\r\nWe have a strong urge to act out our fantasies or live out our dream -- and we have the energy now to DO that which others only talk or dream about; however we tend to feel scattered. As best as you can, slow down and listen to your intuition before aimlessly zooming ahead. Inspire yourself and others.\r\n\r\n<i>Most impacted by this aspect: those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 10-16 degrees of</i><b><i> Sagittarius, Pisces</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Gemini, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday early morning, </b><i>a Sun/Mercury alignment</i> <i>in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact at 7:27 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday evening on, and it will be strong until next week Tuesday evening. </b>This aspect indicates a confident mind and an analytical approach to life. Intelligence and communication abilities are strong at this time; however, we may not listen as well as the other speaks -- we might be too busy thinking about what to say next.\r\n\r\nGiven that this alignment takes place in <strong>Aquarius</strong>, we may feel particularly detached -- do your best to not to be arrogant or get stuck in rigid thinking.\r\n\r\nWe want an active role in communications -- it\'s very hard for us to passively listen and absorb information right now. What we say or write now has impact, so as best as you can, choose your words wisely. If people hung on your every word, what would you say then? What would you hold back from saying?\r\n\r\nOur opinions are strong and our thinking independent -- and we\'re proud of both -- our egos may therefore get bruised if we don\'t feel \"heard\". As best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have different opinion and that\'s ok.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 26-29 degrees of  </i><strong><i>Aquarius, Leo, Scorpio, Taurus, </i></strong><i>or</i><strong><i> </i></strong><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\">Pisces, Virgo, </b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo, Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday</b><b> afternoon, after 4:05pm EST</b>, is also the best time to set<i> our powerful New Moon Intentions</i>. Doing so during a Solar Eclipse is a little different from the regular monthly New Moon process: we are setting those intentions for the whole 6-month Eclipse cycle, rather than just for the next 28 days.\r\n\r\nSo when is the best time to do this? With a Solar Eclipse it is best to wait 48 hours after the Eclipse has been exact before setting any intentions; as always, we also want to avoid any <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> phases.\r\n\r\nThis gives us two \"windows\" for our 6-month intention-setting (all times are EST, which is the New York timezone):\r\n\r\nThe first window is on <b>Saturday, Feb. 17th, between 4:05pm and 5:14pm.</b>\r\n\r\nThe<b> </b>second would be <b>between 7:05am on Sunday, Feb. 18th, and 4:05pm the following day (Monday, Feb. 19th). </b>\r\n\r\nMake them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the Aqaurian energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nThis Solar Eclipse reminds us that to be fully alive requires us to constantly stretch, grow, and change. So, while writing your intentions, ask yourself: What would it take for me to release old patterns from the past? How might that free me to create a more powerful future?\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday early evening</b> <b>at 5:14 pm EST</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 14 hours, <b>until 7:05 am EST</b>.

You may also want to plan your Saturday evening and Sunday early morning ahead of time ;-) <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">(Moon trines Jupiter in <b>Scorpio</b>)</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Late Saturday evening at 11:28 pm EST </b><i>Mercury changes signs from freedom-loving, forward thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> to creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i>.</b> It will journey through Pisces until <b>March 6<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b>. We are moving from the mind into the heart. For these next two weeks, we get a chance to communicate with compassion -- we see the commonalities between us all, rather than what separates us.\r\n\r\nWe seem to be connected to Source more easily during this time -- if we allow that energy to come through -- and our thinking will be very creative, imaginative and intuitive.\r\n\r\nThe key with this energy is to remain in the “here and now” and open up to a higher vibration. If we can do that, we will be able to download information from an intuitive place, rather than thinking things through. This could also be the reason why our mind is slowing down a bit and why we speak more softly.\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> also offers us an opportunity to let go of any mental structures, conditionings or fears that are no longer serving us. If you are not connected to your intuition, you may want to double check with other people, before signing any documents or buying any big-ticket items. Are you ready to connect to your intuition more fully? Can you allow for the unfolding process, trusting your higher Self more fully?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more talkative during this time. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>?

Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday afternoon at 12:18 pm</b> <i>the Sun moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> where it will remain <b>until March 20th. </b>This brings our awareness to our sense of oneness with everyone and everything around us. We feel like sponges, able to pick up all energy around us; this also makes us more sensitive and emotional. We are more drawn towards expressing ourselves in a creative or spiritual way.\r\n\r\nMusic or energy healing gives us vitality and can heighten our own personal vibrations. We need to slow down a little and listen to our intuition more fully -- if we ignore our feelings and the subtle messages we are getting, we will most likely feel more anxious and somewhat frustrated. This could also be connected to the slow pace that our body or our surroundings are demanding of us.\r\n\r\nThe keyword here is \"allowing\": as best as you can, be aware of what you are resisting, moment to moment, and create some space -- allow it to be as it is. Notice when you are sensing someone else\'s feelings rather than your own.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces </i></b><i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> your vitality will depend on allowing things to flow and being gentle with yourself.</i>\r\n\r\nMore about all the details in next week’s forecast ;-)\r\n<h3><b>One Last Announcement:</b></h3>\r\nJoin me for my next FORECASTING FORUM, <b>Friday</b>, <b>March 2nd, 2018 at </b>12pm<b> </b>PST/<b> 3pm EST</b>/8pm GMT (London-time).<b> Please note </b>that we will be talking about the upcoming<b> Station </b>and<b> Retrograde phases in March: </b>Jupiter stations and goes retrograde in 23º of <b>Scorpio</b>, Mercury stations and goes retrograde in 17º of <b>Aries</b>.\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how to align yourself with these retrograde phases, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation. <a href=\"http://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">To register now, click here</a>\r\n\r\n<b>Here is a testimonial from one of our participants right after joining our most recent Forum:</b>\r\n<blockquote><i>“I truly enjoyed the webinar...  And I watched you to the end....

What is actually so right now?

Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday early evening</b> a <i>challenging Mercury/Jupiter aspect</i> becomes exact at 5:39 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from</b> <b>Sunday and it will be strong until Thursday. </b>This aspect asks that we grow and evolve in the following areas: how we communicate our vision for the future and how much we share with others. We may have to find creative solutions to communicate; we may have to learn about our thinking process and conditioning.\r\n\r\nWe want to share ourselves without limitation. We are thus inclined to exaggeration, often unintended -- and might struggle to transform ideas into reality. The upside to all this: we can be extraordinarily funny, interesting and creative.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly.

Flexibility is the key to success at this time; pleasant changes may be in store -- certainly unexpected ones ;-)\r\n\r\nWhat is your uniqueness? How could you express that proudly and authentically? As best as you can, watch out for messages from the Universe! Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us: We have to \"realize\" it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>?

(•Moon in Aquarius sextiles Mars in Sagittarius 9:29am EST -- post at 7:30am EST)\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday </b>is also the <i>last day before the Solar Eclipse in</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact. There is some potent energy coming our way; it would be wise to prepare ourselves to be transformed by it, allowing for our consciousness upgrade to be installed.\r\n\r\nThis is a good time to slow things down and go within. For many of us, this will be a stretch, as we want to do just the opposite: jump the gun, get started with something new, act impulsively, etc. This is quite common right before a Solar Eclipse. As best as you can, stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions and connect to your inner wisdom.\r\n\r\nIt comes down to this: just for now and just as best as you can... could you simply allow what is... to be? Could you simply be the “observer” until the upgrade is complete?\r\n\r\nRather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing things. Think back to late Aug. 2017 -- the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo. What did you start around then? How could you complete it, or move it to the next level?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take the days immediately before and after the Eclipse for meditation, contemplation, journaling — anything that supports an objective understanding of your own thoughts and visions.\r\n\r\nOf course if, like most of us, you have other obligations: take 5 minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, get quiet and be with yourself (i.e. your inspirational Self, your higher mind). Ask yourself: What might become possible if you gave this to yourself on a regular basis?\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday (Feb. 15<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>) </b>is a big day! <i>The Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>until 9:42pm EST</b>  (see Tuesday late morning for details)\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday morning</b> an <i>opportune Mercury/Uranus aspect</i> becomes exact at 10:07am EST. <b>We started to feel this from aspect from Wednesday on and it will be strong until Friday</b>.\r\n\r\nThis is an opportunity to connect our thinking and communication to a brighter, more collaborative vision for the future.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nIt also brings an opportunity for insight, novelty and some really unusual conversations. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to realize it.\r\n\r\nThis aspect also brings an opportunity to view things from a different perspective, or put a new spin on \"old\" thinking. We like to connect in unusual ways; any group activities or brainstorming with like-minded people could generate amazing insights -- this might be a busy day. As best as you can, or want to... stay open to other dimensions ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>?

What was important back then? If there were a call this time to take those priorities to the next level… Where would that next level find you?\r\n\r\nIf you\'re looking for more guidance on those questions, I would suggest taking a look at your Natal Chart: the House placement of the Eclipse will indicate which area of life you\'re most ready to take to a new level of consciousness.\r\n\r\nIf that idea appeals, I suggest checking out my <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">30-minute class, \"How to Read My Birth Chart”</a> -- you might also want to purchase the video of the most recent <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">Forecasting Forum</a> -- we looked directly at our own birth charts to see how this Solar Eclipse will affect each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar, available <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">on my website</a>).\r\n\r\nOr...\r\n\r\n<b>Get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, <b>plus</b> a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\r\n\r\nAlthough we have experienced several Eclipses in the Leo/Aquarius polarity since last year, this will be the <i>first Solar Eclipse in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>. This points to a new beginning of some sort, with the visionary Aquarian energy impacting the area of life indicated by its house placement in our individual birth charts.\r\n\r\nSolar Eclipses reveal pathways that can take us to the next level of our evolution. They herald shifts in consciousness; the shift connected with this particular Eclipse will unfold over the next 6 months.\r\n\r\nThe Sun and Moon are connected to one of the Moon Nodes during an Eclipse; in this case, the South Node -- and <i>South Node Eclipses</i> can help us release energies or attachments that no longer serve our Soul’s evolution. Again, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">feel free to check out my webinar about the Eclipses</a> to see where this new beginning and next level of your Soul\'s evolution takes place for you.\r\n\r\nEclipses are Uranian in nature; as such, they are times of uncertainty -- so pretty much anything could happen <b>between now and the end of Eclipse season (Feb. 25th).</b>\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, stay both grounded <i>and</i> flexible — and don\'t jump the gun: If you feel compelled to do something, do your best to simply observe the urge. The exception might be something that happens organically -- but if you are ambivalent about a possible action, better hold off at least until the end of Eclipse Season (Feb. 25th).\r\n\r\nEclipses bring major endings and beginnings. As best you can, trust that whatever is leaving is making space for something better -- the more willing we are to change, the easier it will be.\r\n\r\nThat said, projects and interactions that got underway prior to Eclipse season (i.e. before Jan. 21st) are another matter -- don’t stop your life just because it is Eclipse season ;-) Pay attention also to anything that got started at the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo, in August of last year.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Do I have a better understanding of what brings me joy? Am I more courageous and self-expressed?\r\n\r\nWith the <i>Solar Eclipse</i> in <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>, we have our eye on the future. The highest vibration of Aquarius gives us the opportunity to see a clear vision for our life -- and we are ready to make huge improvements.\r\n\r\n<strong>Aquarius</strong> also deals with the power of ideals, technology, and inventions. We are interested in the collective focus on changing group consciousness; we strive for equality, collaboration, progress. This eclipse invites us to bring this higher vibration to our ability to be courageous and joyful in our own right.\r\n\r\n<i>South Node Eclipses</i> invite us to become aware of the lower vibrations of a sign, so we can release those energies or attachments that no longer serve our evolution, and move toward the higher vibration of the sign -- in this case, that would obviously be Aquarius -- so what do the lower Aquarian vibrations look and feel like?\r\n\r\nAt a lower <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, we feel like outsiders -- as though we don\'t fit in, are maybe a little <i>too</i> different. We want to rebel against social structures that don\'t fit with our vision.\r\n\r\nWe get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not take responsibility for our part in the collective, when we do not honor our individual genius, our unique contribution to society or our communities. Ask yourself:\r\n\r\nWhat stops me from connecting to my inner genius? What if I allowed myself to be both different <i>and</i> connected to others? What if taking responsibility for \"how things are\" was the perfect jump-start for a better future?\r\n\r\nTo move even further into that higher <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, try also asking yourself the following questions: Where am I called to make a difference? What could I, as an individual, do for humanity? And how might group consciousness help humanity make progress? Where can I begin?\r\n\r\nEvery single one of us has a special gift, a spark unique to us; when we access our inner genius and share it with the world, we can make quantum leaps of insight and embark on remarkable collaborations with others. Ask yourself: How does my inner genius communicate? Where does it want to show up?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) currently in <strong>Aries</strong>, sextiles the the Sun, Moon and Mercury in <strong>Aquarius</strong>. </i>This is a tremendous opportunity for all of us to become more aware of our individual impact on the collective: We are all agents of change. Already. Always.\r\n\r\nRight now, our individual capacity to effect change is far greater than we realize — especially for those of us with Uranus, Aquarius, or 11th house planets strongly emphasized in our birth chart — and when we team up with others who also care deeply about creating a better future, we can create real change.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How can I inspire others to foster progress? What becomes possible when we all connect with the intention to create meaningful change for everyone? For all living things?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong> squares the Solar Eclipse, sextiles Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, and trines Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong>. </i>This combo invites us to stretch ourselves for the duration of this Eclipse cycle -- to grow beyond what we currently know ourselves to be -- it supports our ability to build a more meaningful future and allows us to engage more fully in our current healing process.\r\n\r\nHere\'s a good start: We all have \"survival tactics\" we formed in response to past circumstances. Ask yourself: What if I expanded my awareness and comprehension of my personal survival tactics by just 5%? What might a new perspective on my fears and defenses show me? What if I relentlessly questioned old beliefs about intimate or financial partnerships? What might I discover about what has become true in the meantime? If I genuinely allowed this insight to change my behaviors and expectations, what might that look like?\r\n\r\nAs always when Chiron is involved, aim for wholeness, forgiveness — above all, keep a courageously open heart — our light shines all the brighter when all of our authentic self is visible, even the shadowy parts :-)\r\n\r\n<i>Eclipses</i> are a time for clarifying and affirming our highest path. We are bound to experience a release -- and a recalibration: “old” codes will get deleted and new programming downloaded. This is especially true when connected with our vision for the future (and for the collective).\r\n\r\nSuppressing or denying the unique gifts we each bring to the collective experience is even less wise than before; we are more aware than ever that we <b>are interconnected</b> and thus every single one of us contributes to the human experience and is capable of making a difference on this shared journey.\r\n\r\nSince Eclipse season continues until Feb. 25th, I highly recommend again that you treat yourself to the video of my most recent <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">Forecasting Forum</a> (<a href=\"https://goo.gl/uB8R7j\">https://goo.gl/uB8R7j</a>) -- we covered the Eclipses, including this Solar Eclipse in <b>Aquarius</b>, looking directly at our own birth charts to see how this affects each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">on my website</a>).\r\n\r\nOr...\r\n\r\nYou may recall that I now offer membership plans -- you could <b>get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, plus a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum, by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\r\n\r\n<b>Between now and Feb. 25th</b>, allow for the new templates to download; stay centered and do your best to ground from within. Try using conscious breathing, flexibility -- and best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body… And if nothing else, remember: this won\'t last forever -- in another two weeks, the downloads are complete ;-)  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">Again, I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in one of the following placements: 22-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, Scorpio, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly.</i>\r\n\r\nNow let’s talk “Intentions” :-) Regular readers will know that we use the time of the New Moon to set intentions for the coming month.\r\n\r\nWith a Solar Eclipse we want to <b>wait 48 hours before setting our intentions</b>. In Saturdays Forecast, I’ll be talking about setting some powerful intentions, not just for the next month as is usual for a New Moon, but for the next <i>six</i> months -- and I\'ll give you the very best times for setting them. <i></i>\r\n<i></i>\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Thursday late afternoon, at 4:05pm EST,</b> at the same time as the New Moon becomes exact, we also enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 6 hours, <b>until 9:42 pm EST</b>. Use this intuitive time to…\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your Thursday evening ahead of time ;-) (Moon conjuncts Sun in Aquarius)\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday evening,  </b><i>an opportune Venus/Saturn aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:19 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday night and it will stay strong until Saturday. </b>This aspect gives us an opportunity to bring a sense of realism to our relationships, values, and financial affairs: We are more able to see what really needs to be dealt with in those areas and take responsibility for our handling of them.\r\n\r\nOn a financial level, we have an opportunity to see more clearly when and how we might make long-term investments. There\'s no need to rush anything; think it through carefully and responsibly -- do the \"due diligence\". Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us, we have to \"take\" it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 4-8 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)</i>.\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday evening at 9:42 pm EST</b> <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces,</i></b><i> </i>where it will journey <b>until Sunday morning</b>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<b>Friday (Feb. 16</b><b><sup>th</sup></b><b>) </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <b>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details)\r\n\r\n•Moon in Pisces sextiles Saturn in Capricorn 9:58 am\r\n\r\n•Moon in Pisces conjunct Venus in Pisces 11:36 am\r\n\r\n•Moon in Pisces squares Mars in Sagittarius 11:11 pm\r\n\r\n•Moon in Pisces conjunct Neptune in Pisces 8:31 pm\r\n\r\n•Chinese New Year -- Year of the Dog\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday (Feb. 17</b><b><sup>th</sup></b><b>): </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday morning,</b> <i>a challenging Mars/Neptune aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:20 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Sunday evening and it will be strong until next week Thursday morning</b>. This aspect is asking us to stretch ourselves, in order to resolve a tension between the things we want to go after, versus our feelings about a higher, spiritual calling. We may be chasing a dream... or a fantasy.\r\n\r\nOrdinary life may seem drab and uninteresting to us right now. We tend to either over- or underestimate our own power and abilities. We want something that stirs our imagination: Some vision or ideal or dream to motivate us.\r\n\r\nWe have a strong urge to act out our fantasies or live out our dream -- and we have the energy now to DO that which others only talk or dream about; however we tend to feel scattered. As best as you can, slow down and listen to your intuition before aimlessly zooming ahead. Inspire yourself and others.\r\n\r\n<i>Most impacted by this aspect: those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 10-16 degrees of</i><b><i> Sagittarius, Pisces</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Gemini, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday early morning, </b><i>a Sun/Mercury alignment</i> <i>in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact at 7:27 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday evening on, and it will be strong until next week Tuesday evening. </b>This aspect indicates a confident mind and an analytical approach to life. Intelligence and communication abilities are strong at this time; however, we may not listen as well as the other speaks -- we might be too busy thinking about what to say next.\r\n\r\nGiven that this alignment takes place in <strong>Aquarius</strong>, we may feel particularly detached -- do your best to not to be arrogant or get stuck in rigid thinking.\r\n\r\nWe want an active role in communications -- it\'s very hard for us to passively listen and absorb information right now. What we say or write now has impact, so as best as you can, choose your words wisely. If people hung on your every word, what would you say then? What would you hold back from saying?\r\n\r\nOur opinions are strong and our thinking independent -- and we\'re proud of both -- our egos may therefore get bruised if we don\'t feel \"heard\". As best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have different opinion and that\'s ok.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 26-29 degrees of  </i><strong><i>Aquarius, Leo, Scorpio, Taurus, </i></strong><i>or</i><strong><i> </i></strong><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\">Pisces, Virgo, </b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo, Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday</b><b> afternoon, after 4:05pm EST</b>, is also the best time to set<i> our powerful New Moon Intentions</i>. Doing so during a Solar Eclipse is a little different from the regular monthly New Moon process: we are setting those intentions for the whole 6-month Eclipse cycle, rather than just for the next 28 days.\r\n\r\nSo when is the best time to do this? With a Solar Eclipse it is best to wait 48 hours after the Eclipse has been exact before setting any intentions; as always, we also want to avoid any <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> phases.\r\n\r\nThis gives us two \"windows\" for our 6-month intention-setting (all times are EST, which is the New York timezone):\r\n\r\nThe first window is on <b>Saturday, Feb. 17th, between 4:05pm and 5:14pm.</b>\r\n\r\nThe<b> </b>second would be <b>between 7:05am on Sunday, Feb. 18th, and 4:05pm the following day (Monday, Feb. 19th). </b>\r\n\r\nMake them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the Aqaurian energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nThis Solar Eclipse reminds us that to be fully alive requires us to constantly stretch, grow, and change. So, while writing your intentions, ask yourself: What would it take for me to release old patterns from the past? How might that free me to create a more powerful future?\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday early evening</b> <b>at 5:14 pm EST</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 14 hours, <b>until 7:05 am EST</b>. Use this intuitive time to…\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your Saturday evening and Sunday early morning ahead of time ;-) <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">(Moon trines Jupiter in <b>Scorpio</b>)</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Late Saturday evening at 11:28 pm EST </b><i>Mercury changes signs from freedom-loving, forward thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> to creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i>.</b> It will journey through Pisces until <b>March 6<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b>. We are moving from the mind into the heart. For these next two weeks, we get a chance to communicate with compassion -- we see the commonalities between us all, rather than what separates us.\r\n\r\nWe seem to be connected to Source more easily during this time -- if we allow that energy to come through -- and our thinking will be very creative, imaginative and intuitive.\r\n\r\nThe key with this energy is to remain in the “here and now” and open up to a higher vibration. If we can do that, we will be able to download information from an intuitive place, rather than thinking things through. This could also be the reason why our mind is slowing down a bit and why we speak more softly.\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> also offers us an opportunity to let go of any mental structures, conditionings or fears that are no longer serving us. If you are not connected to your intuition, you may want to double check with other people, before signing any documents or buying any big-ticket items. Are you ready to connect to your intuition more fully? Can you allow for the unfolding process, trusting your higher Self more fully?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more talkative during this time. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you may need to learn to surrender to a slower pace and connect more fully to your heart and intuition.  </i>\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday (Feb. 18<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>): </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><b> </b>and<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><b> until 7:05am EST.</b>\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday morning at 7:05 am EST </b><i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries,</i></b> where it will remain <b>until Tuesday afternoon</b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday afternoon at 12:18 pm</b> <i>the Sun moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> where it will remain <b>until March 20th. </b>This brings our awareness to our sense of oneness with everyone and everything around us. We feel like sponges, able to pick up all energy around us; this also makes us more sensitive and emotional. We are more drawn towards expressing ourselves in a creative or spiritual way.\r\n\r\nMusic or energy healing gives us vitality and can heighten our own personal vibrations. We need to slow down a little and listen to our intuition more fully -- if we ignore our feelings and the subtle messages we are getting, we will most likely feel more anxious and somewhat frustrated. This could also be connected to the slow pace that our body or our surroundings are demanding of us.\r\n\r\nThe keyword here is \"allowing\": as best as you can, be aware of what you are resisting, moment to moment, and create some space -- allow it to be as it is. Notice when you are sensing someone else\'s feelings rather than your own.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces </i></b><i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> your vitality will depend on allowing things to flow and being gentle with yourself.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>A heads up for next Monday (Feb. 19th): <em>The Moon remains in Aries </em>all day (see Sunday morning for details). </strong><em>Moon in <strong>Aries</strong> trines Mars in <strong>Sagittarius</strong> at 10:18am EST. Moon in <strong>Aries</strong> squares Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong> at 8:47pm EST. </em>More about all the details in next week’s forecast ;-)\r\n<h3><b>One Last Announcement:</b></h3>\r\nJoin me for my next FORECASTING FORUM, <b>Friday</b>, <b>March 2nd, 2018 at </b>12pm<b> </b>PST/<b> 3pm EST</b>/8pm GMT (London-time).<b> Please note </b>that we will be talking about the upcoming<b> Station </b>and<b> Retrograde phases in March: </b>Jupiter stations and goes retrograde in 23º of <b>Scorpio</b>, Mercury stations and goes retrograde in 17º of <b>Aries</b>.\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how to align yourself with these retrograde phases, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation. <a href=\"http://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">To register now, click here</a>\r\n\r\n<b>Here is a testimonial from one of our participants right after joining our most recent Forum:</b>\r\n<blockquote><i>“I truly enjoyed the webinar...  And I watched you to the end....

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n•Moon in Capricorn sextiles Neptune in Pisces 12:08 am\r\n\r\n•Moon in Capricorn conjunct Pluto in Capricorn 2:22 pm\r\n\r\n•Moon in Capricorn sextiles Jupiter in Scorpio 6:42 pm\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday (Feb. 13<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> <i>the Moon remains in practical, </i><i>accomplishment-oriented</i><i> </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> <b>until 10:11am EST</b> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday very early morning,</b> <b>at 12:43am EST,</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for about 9.5 hours, <b>until 10:11am EST</b>.

Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday early evening</b> a <i>challenging Mercury/Jupiter aspect</i> becomes exact at 5:39 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from</b> <b>Sunday and it will be strong until Thursday. </b>This aspect asks that we grow and evolve in the following areas: how we communicate our vision for the future and how much we share with others. We may have to find creative solutions to communicate; we may have to learn about our thinking process and conditioning.\r\n\r\nWe want to share ourselves without limitation. We are thus inclined to exaggeration, often unintended -- and might struggle to transform ideas into reality. The upside to all this: we can be extraordinarily funny, interesting and creative.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday </b><i>an opportune Sun/Uranus aspect</i><b> </b>becomes exact at 9:23pm EST. <b>We started to feel this aspect Sunday evening on, and it will be strong until Thursday night. </b>We have the opportunity to become aware of an original or unique approach to life. Flexibility is the key to success at this time; pleasant changes may be in store -- certainly unexpected ones ;-)\r\n\r\nWhat is your uniqueness? How could you express that proudly and authentically? As best as you can, watch out for messages from the Universe! Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us: We have to \"realize\" it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo</i></b><i> or</i><b><i> Aquarius </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday (Feb. 14<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> (Valentine’s Day) <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>all day</b> (see Tuesday late morning for details)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday morning</strong> is an opportunity to connect with others and explore actively the things that can bring us progress. (•Moon in Aquarius sextiles Mars in Sagittarius 9:29am EST -- post at 7:30am EST)\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday </b>is also the <i>last day before the Solar Eclipse in</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact. There is some potent energy coming our way; it would be wise to prepare ourselves to be transformed by it, allowing for our consciousness upgrade to be installed.\r\n\r\nThis is a good time to slow things down and go within. For many of us, this will be a stretch, as we want to do just the opposite: jump the gun, get started with something new, act impulsively, etc. This is quite common right before a Solar Eclipse. As best as you can, stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions and connect to your inner wisdom.\r\n\r\nIt comes down to this: just for now and just as best as you can... could you simply allow what is... to be? Could you simply be the “observer” until the upgrade is complete?\r\n\r\nRather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing things. Think back to late Aug. 2017 -- the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo. What did you start around then? How could you complete it, or move it to the next level?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take the days immediately before and after the Eclipse for meditation, contemplation, journaling — anything that supports an objective understanding of your own thoughts and visions.\r\n\r\nOf course if, like most of us, you have other obligations: take 5 minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, get quiet and be with yourself (i.e. your inspirational Self, your higher mind). Ask yourself: What might become possible if you gave this to yourself on a regular basis?\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday (Feb. 15<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>) </b>is a big day! <i>The Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>until 9:42pm EST</b>  (see Tuesday late morning for details)\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday morning</b> an <i>opportune Mercury/Uranus aspect</i> becomes exact at 10:07am EST. <b>We started to feel this from aspect from Wednesday on and it will be strong until Friday</b>.\r\n\r\nThis is an opportunity to connect our thinking and communication to a brighter, more collaborative vision for the future.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nIt also brings an opportunity for insight, novelty and some really unusual conversations. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to realize it.\r\n\r\nThis aspect also brings an opportunity to view things from a different perspective, or put a new spin on \"old\" thinking. We like to connect in unusual ways; any group activities or brainstorming with like-minded people could generate amazing insights -- this might be a busy day. As best as you can, or want to... stay open to other dimensions ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> <i>(Mercury is the ruler of Virgo and Gemini; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\nOn <b>Thursday at 4:05pm EST, </b><i>a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse in 27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> becomes exact. </i>This is the beginning of both a new Moon cycle and an Eclipse cycle.  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\nEclipses take place approximately every 6 months; <i>Solar Eclipses</i> are extra-powerful New Moons that end one 19-year cycle and begin another — the last Solar Eclipse in this same degree of Aquarius was back on Feb. 16th, 1999. We are likely to experience a resonance between now and that time — \"resonant\", rather than identical — so think back to the Spring of 1999:\r\n\r\nWere there any major endings and beginnings? What was important back then? If there were a call this time to take those priorities to the next level… Where would that next level find you?\r\n\r\nIf you\'re looking for more guidance on those questions, I would suggest taking a look at your Natal Chart: the House placement of the Eclipse will indicate which area of life you\'re most ready to take to a new level of consciousness.\r\n\r\nIf that idea appeals, I suggest checking out my <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">30-minute class, \"How to Read My Birth Chart”</a> -- you might also want to purchase the video of the most recent <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">Forecasting Forum</a> -- we looked directly at our own birth charts to see how this Solar Eclipse will affect each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar, available <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">on my website</a>).\r\n\r\nOr...\r\n\r\n<b>Get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, <b>plus</b> a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\r\n\r\nAlthough we have experienced several Eclipses in the Leo/Aquarius polarity since last year, this will be the <i>first Solar Eclipse in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>. This points to a new beginning of some sort, with the visionary Aquarian energy impacting the area of life indicated by its house placement in our individual birth charts.\r\n\r\nSolar Eclipses reveal pathways that can take us to the next level of our evolution. They herald shifts in consciousness; the shift connected with this particular Eclipse will unfold over the next 6 months.\r\n\r\nThe Sun and Moon are connected to one of the Moon Nodes during an Eclipse; in this case, the South Node -- and <i>South Node Eclipses</i> can help us release energies or attachments that no longer serve our Soul’s evolution. Again, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">feel free to check out my webinar about the Eclipses</a> to see where this new beginning and next level of your Soul\'s evolution takes place for you.\r\n\r\nEclipses are Uranian in nature; as such, they are times of uncertainty -- so pretty much anything could happen <b>between now and the end of Eclipse season (Feb. 25th).</b>\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, stay both grounded <i>and</i> flexible — and don\'t jump the gun: If you feel compelled to do something, do your best to simply observe the urge. The exception might be something that happens organically -- but if you are ambivalent about a possible action, better hold off at least until the end of Eclipse Season (Feb. 25th).\r\n\r\nEclipses bring major endings and beginnings. As best you can, trust that whatever is leaving is making space for something better -- the more willing we are to change, the easier it will be.\r\n\r\nThat said, projects and interactions that got underway prior to Eclipse season (i.e. before Jan. 21st) are another matter -- don’t stop your life just because it is Eclipse season ;-) Pay attention also to anything that got started at the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo, in August of last year.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Do I have a better understanding of what brings me joy? Am I more courageous and self-expressed?\r\n\r\nWith the <i>Solar Eclipse</i> in <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>, we have our eye on the future. The highest vibration of Aquarius gives us the opportunity to see a clear vision for our life -- and we are ready to make huge improvements.\r\n\r\n<strong>Aquarius</strong> also deals with the power of ideals, technology, and inventions. We are interested in the collective focus on changing group consciousness; we strive for equality, collaboration, progress. This eclipse invites us to bring this higher vibration to our ability to be courageous and joyful in our own right.\r\n\r\n<i>South Node Eclipses</i> invite us to become aware of the lower vibrations of a sign, so we can release those energies or attachments that no longer serve our evolution, and move toward the higher vibration of the sign -- in this case, that would obviously be Aquarius -- so what do the lower Aquarian vibrations look and feel like?\r\n\r\nAt a lower <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, we feel like outsiders -- as though we don\'t fit in, are maybe a little <i>too</i> different. We want to rebel against social structures that don\'t fit with our vision.\r\n\r\nWe get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not take responsibility for our part in the collective, when we do not honor our individual genius, our unique contribution to society or our communities. Ask yourself:\r\n\r\nWhat stops me from connecting to my inner genius? What if I allowed myself to be both different <i>and</i> connected to others? What if taking responsibility for \"how things are\" was the perfect jump-start for a better future?\r\n\r\nTo move even further into that higher <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, try also asking yourself the following questions: Where am I called to make a difference? What could I, as an individual, do for humanity? And how might group consciousness help humanity make progress? Where can I begin?\r\n\r\nEvery single one of us has a special gift, a spark unique to us; when we access our inner genius and share it with the world, we can make quantum leaps of insight and embark on remarkable collaborations with others. Ask yourself: How does my inner genius communicate? Where does it want to show up?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) currently in <strong>Aries</strong>, sextiles the the Sun, Moon and Mercury in <strong>Aquarius</strong>. </i>This is a tremendous opportunity for all of us to become more aware of our individual impact on the collective: We are all agents of change. Already. Always.\r\n\r\nRight now, our individual capacity to effect change is far greater than we realize — especially for those of us with Uranus, Aquarius, or 11th house planets strongly emphasized in our birth chart — and when we team up with others who also care deeply about creating a better future, we can create real change.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How can I inspire others to foster progress? What becomes possible when we all connect with the intention to create meaningful change for everyone? For all living things?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong> squares the Solar Eclipse, sextiles Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, and trines Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong>. </i>This combo invites us to stretch ourselves for the duration of this Eclipse cycle -- to grow beyond what we currently know ourselves to be -- it supports our ability to build a more meaningful future and allows us to engage more fully in our current healing process.\r\n\r\nHere\'s a good start: We all have \"survival tactics\" we formed in response to past circumstances. Ask yourself: What if I expanded my awareness and comprehension of my personal survival tactics by just 5%? What might a new perspective on my fears and defenses show me? What if I relentlessly questioned old beliefs about intimate or financial partnerships? What might I discover about what has become true in the meantime? If I genuinely allowed this insight to change my behaviors and expectations, what might that look like?\r\n\r\nAs always when Chiron is involved, aim for wholeness, forgiveness — above all, keep a courageously open heart — our light shines all the brighter when all of our authentic self is visible, even the shadowy parts :-)\r\n\r\n<i>Eclipses</i> are a time for clarifying and affirming our highest path. We are bound to experience a release -- and a recalibration: “old” codes will get deleted and new programming downloaded. This is especially true when connected with our vision for the future (and for the collective).\r\n\r\nSuppressing or denying the unique gifts we each bring to the collective experience is even less wise than before; we are more aware than ever that we <b>are interconnected</b> and thus every single one of us contributes to the human experience and is capable of making a difference on this shared journey.\r\n\r\nSince Eclipse season continues until Feb. 25th, I highly recommend again that you treat yourself to the video of my most recent <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">Forecasting Forum</a> (<a href=\"https://goo.gl/uB8R7j\">https://goo.gl/uB8R7j</a>) -- we covered the Eclipses, including this Solar Eclipse in <b>Aquarius</b>, looking directly at our own birth charts to see how this affects each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">on my website</a>).\r\n\r\nOr...\r\n\r\nYou may recall that I now offer membership plans -- you could <b>get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, plus a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum, by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\r\n\r\n<b>Between now and Feb. 25th</b>, allow for the new templates to download; stay centered and do your best to ground from within.

If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly.</i>\r\n\r\nNow let’s talk “Intentions” :-) Regular readers will know that we use the time of the New Moon to set intentions for the coming month.\r\n\r\nWith a Solar Eclipse we want to <b>wait 48 hours before setting our intentions</b>. In Saturdays Forecast, I’ll be talking about setting some powerful intentions, not just for the next month as is usual for a New Moon, but for the next <i>six</i> months -- and I\'ll give you the very best times for setting them. <i></i>\r\n<i></i>\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Thursday late afternoon, at 4:05pm EST,</b> at the same time as the New Moon becomes exact, we also enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 6 hours, <b>until 9:42 pm EST</b>. Use this intuitive time to…\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your Thursday evening ahead of time ;-) (Moon conjuncts Sun in Aquarius)\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday evening,  </b><i>an opportune Venus/Saturn aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:19 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday night and it will stay strong until Saturday. </b>This aspect gives us an opportunity to bring a sense of realism to our relationships, values, and financial affairs: We are more able to see what really needs to be dealt with in those areas and take responsibility for our handling of them.\r\n\r\nOn a financial level, we have an opportunity to see more clearly when and how we might make long-term investments. There\'s no need to rush anything; think it through carefully and responsibly -- do the \"due diligence\". Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us, we have to \"take\" it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 4-8 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)</i>.\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday evening at 9:42 pm EST</b> <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces,</i></b><i> </i>where it will journey <b>until Sunday morning</b>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<b>Friday (Feb. 16</b><b><sup>th</sup></b><b>) </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <b>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details)\r\n\r\n•Moon in Pisces sextiles Saturn in Capricorn 9:58 am\r\n\r\n•Moon in Pisces conjunct Venus in Pisces 11:36 am\r\n\r\n•Moon in Pisces squares Mars in Sagittarius 11:11 pm\r\n\r\n•Moon in Pisces conjunct Neptune in Pisces 8:31 pm\r\n\r\n•Chinese New Year -- Year of the Dog\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday (Feb. 17</b><b><sup>th</sup></b><b>): </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday morning,</b> <i>a challenging Mars/Neptune aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:20 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Sunday evening and it will be strong until next week Thursday morning</b>. This aspect is asking us to stretch ourselves, in order to resolve a tension between the things we want to go after, versus our feelings about a higher, spiritual calling. We may be chasing a dream... or a fantasy.\r\n\r\nOrdinary life may seem drab and uninteresting to us right now. We tend to either over- or underestimate our own power and abilities. We want something that stirs our imagination: Some vision or ideal or dream to motivate us.\r\n\r\nWe have a strong urge to act out our fantasies or live out our dream -- and we have the energy now to DO that which others only talk or dream about; however we tend to feel scattered. As best as you can, slow down and listen to your intuition before aimlessly zooming ahead. Inspire yourself and others.\r\n\r\n<i>Most impacted by this aspect: those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 10-16 degrees of</i><b><i> Sagittarius, Pisces</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Gemini, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday early morning, </b><i>a Sun/Mercury alignment</i> <i>in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact at 7:27 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday evening on, and it will be strong until next week Tuesday evening. </b>This aspect indicates a confident mind and an analytical approach to life. Intelligence and communication abilities are strong at this time; however, we may not listen as well as the other speaks -- we might be too busy thinking about what to say next.\r\n\r\nGiven that this alignment takes place in <strong>Aquarius</strong>, we may feel particularly detached -- do your best to not to be arrogant or get stuck in rigid thinking.\r\n\r\nWe want an active role in communications -- it\'s very hard for us to passively listen and absorb information right now. What we say or write now has impact, so as best as you can, choose your words wisely. If people hung on your every word, what would you say then? What would you hold back from saying?\r\n\r\nOur opinions are strong and our thinking independent -- and we\'re proud of both -- our egos may therefore get bruised if we don\'t feel \"heard\". As best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have different opinion and that\'s ok.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 26-29 degrees of  </i><strong><i>Aquarius, Leo, Scorpio, Taurus, </i></strong><i>or</i><strong><i> </i></strong><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\">Pisces, Virgo, </b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo, Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday</b><b> afternoon, after 4:05pm EST</b>, is also the best time to set<i> our powerful New Moon Intentions</i>. Doing so during a Solar Eclipse is a little different from the regular monthly New Moon process: we are setting those intentions for the whole 6-month Eclipse cycle, rather than just for the next 28 days.\r\n\r\nSo when is the best time to do this? With a Solar Eclipse it is best to wait 48 hours after the Eclipse has been exact before setting any intentions; as always, we also want to avoid any <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> phases.\r\n\r\nThis gives us two \"windows\" for our 6-month intention-setting (all times are EST, which is the New York timezone):\r\n\r\nThe first window is on <b>Saturday, Feb. 17th, between 4:05pm and 5:14pm.</b>\r\n\r\nThe<b> </b>second would be <b>between 7:05am on Sunday, Feb. 18th, and 4:05pm the following day (Monday, Feb. 19th). </b>\r\n\r\nMake them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the Aqaurian energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nThis Solar Eclipse reminds us that to be fully alive requires us to constantly stretch, grow, and change. So, while writing your intentions, ask yourself: What would it take for me to release old patterns from the past? How might that free me to create a more powerful future?\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday early evening</b> <b>at 5:14 pm EST</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 14 hours, <b>until 7:05 am EST</b>. Use this intuitive time to…\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your Saturday evening and Sunday early morning ahead of time ;-) <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">(Moon trines Jupiter in <b>Scorpio</b>)</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Late Saturday evening at 11:28 pm EST </b><i>Mercury changes signs from freedom-loving, forward thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> to creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i>.</b> It will journey through Pisces until <b>March 6<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b>. We are moving from the mind into the heart. For these next two weeks, we get a chance to communicate with compassion -- we see the commonalities between us all, rather than what separates us.\r\n\r\nWe seem to be connected to Source more easily during this time -- if we allow that energy to come through -- and our thinking will be very creative, imaginative and intuitive.\r\n\r\nThe key with this energy is to remain in the “here and now” and open up to a higher vibration. If we can do that, we will be able to download information from an intuitive place, rather than thinking things through. This could also be the reason why our mind is slowing down a bit and why we speak more softly.\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> also offers us an opportunity to let go of any mental structures, conditionings or fears that are no longer serving us. If you are not connected to your intuition, you may want to double check with other people, before signing any documents or buying any big-ticket items. Are you ready to connect to your intuition more fully? Can you allow for the unfolding process, trusting your higher Self more fully?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more talkative during this time. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you may need to learn to surrender to a slower pace and connect more fully to your heart and intuition.  </i>\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday (Feb. 18<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>): </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><b> </b>and<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><b> until 7:05am EST.</b>\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday morning at 7:05 am EST </b><i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries,</i></b> where it will remain <b>until Tuesday afternoon</b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday afternoon at 12:18 pm</b> <i>the Sun moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> where it will remain <b>until March 20th. </b>This brings our awareness to our sense of oneness with everyone and everything around us. We feel like sponges, able to pick up all energy around us; this also makes us more sensitive and emotional. We are more drawn towards expressing ourselves in a creative or spiritual way.\r\n\r\nMusic or energy healing gives us vitality and can heighten our own personal vibrations. We need to slow down a little and listen to our intuition more fully -- if we ignore our feelings and the subtle messages we are getting, we will most likely feel more anxious and somewhat frustrated. This could also be connected to the slow pace that our body or our surroundings are demanding of us.\r\n\r\nThe keyword here is \"allowing\": as best as you can, be aware of what you are resisting, moment to moment, and create some space -- allow it to be as it is. Notice when you are sensing someone else\'s feelings rather than your own.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces </i></b><i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> your vitality will depend on allowing things to flow and being gentle with yourself.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>A heads up for next Monday (Feb. 19th): <em>The Moon remains in Aries </em>all day (see Sunday morning for details). </strong><em>Moon in <strong>Aries</strong> trines Mars in <strong>Sagittarius</strong> at 10:18am EST. Moon in <strong>Aries</strong> squares Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong> at 8:47pm EST. </em>More about all the details in next week’s forecast ;-)\r\n<h3><b>One Last Announcement:</b></h3>\r\nJoin me for my next FORECASTING FORUM, <b>Friday</b>, <b>March 2nd, 2018 at </b>12pm<b> </b>PST/<b> 3pm EST</b>/8pm GMT (London-time).<b> Please note </b>that we will be talking about the upcoming<b> Station </b>and<b> Retrograde phases in March: </b>Jupiter stations and goes retrograde in 23º of <b>Scorpio</b>, Mercury stations and goes retrograde in 17º of <b>Aries</b>.\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how to align yourself with these retrograde phases, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation. <a href=\"http://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">To register now, click here</a>\r\n\r\n<b>Here is a testimonial from one of our participants right after joining our most recent Forum:</b>\r\n<blockquote><i>“I truly enjoyed the webinar...  And I watched you to the end....

Each individual coaching session is tailored to your specific needs, bringing you back to your true self, your higher self -- place of inner calm. Release blockages, fears or beliefs that have been holding you back -- and live your life from a place of acceptance, open-heartedness and possibility for growth and expansion. Regular sessions are 50 minutes long. 25-minute sessions are available for SuperStar members only. Coaching packages are also available upon request and come with a discount ;-)\r\n\r\nIn the past few decades, world-class business people, public speakers and others who face demanding and rigorous professional demands have sought coaching to help them be their “personal best.” For centuries, top athletes have used coaches; they understand that the only thing that will get them through the finish line is their own commitment combined with skilled support.\r\n\r\nNow, more and more people from all walks of life are making a commitment to having a coach that sees their potential 100%, gives them pointers and supports them, no matter what.\r\n\r\nWhen you are seeking to go beyond your current level--personally, financially, emotionally, spiritually or in all areas of your life--Sonja can show you how to fine-tune your perceptions and help you to create awareness, clarity and skill that catapult you forward in a meaningful way.\r\n<h3>Why Astrology and Coaching?</h3>\r\nAstrology is a really great tool to understand yourself better and to help you align with your highest potential and with the energies as they are moment to moment. The coaching method Sonja uses in addition to her astrology practice is called The Sedona Method. The Sedona Method is a wonderful tool to use for releasing fears, \"old\" belief patterns, suppressed feelings -- really, any energy blockages that keep you from being where you want to be.\r\n\r\nSonja has chosen the Sedona Method because it is a gentle, yet effective technique that has supported her personally and many of her clients over the years with releasing the \"old\" programming and conditioning that our day-to-day mind is attached to. Sonja\'s coaching/healing sessions help you connect to who you truly are and who you choose to be moment to moment. This creates happiness within you and opens up greater space for your growth and evolution -- from a loving place, not a fearful one.\r\n\r\nCoaching/Healing sessions are meant as a support system for in between Readings, and in addition to the Astrology Readings Sonja offers. However, you can do Coaching sessions without receiving a reading as well.\r\n<h3>Coaching and Site Membership</h3>\r\nCoaching sessions can be purchased with or without site membership. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/superstar-membership/\">SuperStar m</a><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/superstar-membership/\">embers</a> receive one 25-minute coaching session with Sonja per month.\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\"1_3\"][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"3.0.60\" background_layout=\"light\" text_orientation=\"left\" border_style=\"solid\"]\r\n\r\n[products ids=\"1614\"]\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"3.0.96\" background_layout=\"light\" text_orientation=\"left\" border_style=\"solid\"]\r\n\r\n[products ids=\"1616\"]\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]', 'Coaching', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '4277-revision-v1', '', '', '2018-03-13 18:15:46', '2018-03-13 22:15:46', '', '4277', 'https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/4277-revision-v1/', '0', 'revision', '', '0');

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday</strong><b> afternoon</b>, our focus intensifies -- we might even get a little obsessed with a project or task -- as best as you can, take breaks and don\'t forget to practice a little self-care ;-) <em><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">(Moon in Capricorn conjunct Pluto in Capricorn 2:22 pm -- post at 12pm EST)</span></em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday evening,</strong> we get the opportunity to investigate our deepest motivations and align them with our long-term goals and achievements (if we are awake at this time, of course). We are capable of great focus for the next couple of hours. As with all opportunities in life, this one is not simply handed to us, we have to make something of it. Might deeper perspectives into your psyche move you closer to long-term goals? <em>(<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Moon in Capricorn sextiles Jupiter in Scorpio 6:42 pm -- post at 4:45pm EST)</span></em>\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday (Feb. 13<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> <i>the Moon remains in practical, </i><i>accomplishment-oriented</i><i> </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> <b>until 10:11am EST</b> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday very early morning,</b> <b>at 12:43am EST,</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for about 9.5 hours, <b>until 10:11am EST</b>.You may be aware of two seemingly conflicting desires: On the one hand, a need for serious, diligent accomplishment -- and on the other, a desire to break free and rebel against obligations.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take some breaks, and \"let your freak flag fly\" -- just for a moment -- and revel in it! As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your morning ahead of time ;-) <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">(Moon squares Uranus in <b>Aries</b>)</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday at 10:11 am EST</b> <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> where it will be <b>until Thursday evening</b>. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday early evening</b> a <i>challenging Mercury/Jupiter aspect</i> becomes exact at 5:39 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from</b> <b>Sunday and it will be strong until Thursday. </b>This aspect asks that we grow and evolve in the following areas: how we communicate our vision for the future and how much we share with others. We may have to find creative solutions to communicate; we may have to learn about our thinking process and conditioning.\r\n\r\nWe want to share ourselves without limitation. We are thus inclined to exaggeration, often unintended -- and might struggle to transform ideas into reality. The upside to all this: we can be extraordinarily funny, interesting and creative.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday </b><i>an opportune Sun/Uranus aspect</i><b> </b>becomes exact at 9:23pm EST. <b>We started to feel this aspect Sunday evening on, and it will be strong until Thursday night. </b>We have the opportunity to become aware of an original or unique approach to life. Flexibility is the key to success at this time; pleasant changes may be in store -- certainly unexpected ones ;-)\r\n\r\nWhat is your uniqueness? How could you express that proudly and authentically? As best as you can, watch out for messages from the Universe! Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us: We have to \"realize\" it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo</i></b><i> or</i><b><i> Aquarius </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday (Feb. 14<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> (Valentine’s Day) <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>all day</b> (see Tuesday late morning for details)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday morning</strong> is an opportunity to connect with others and explore actively the things that can bring us progress. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>(Moon in Aquarius sextiles Mars in Sagittarius 9:29am EST -- post at 7:30am EST)</em></span>\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday </b>is also the <i>last day before the Solar Eclipse in</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact. There is some potent energy coming our way; it would be wise to prepare ourselves to be transformed by it, allowing for our consciousness upgrade to be installed.\r\n\r\nThis is a good time to slow things down and go within. For many of us, this will be a stretch, as we want to do just the opposite: jump the gun, get started with something new, act impulsively, etc. This is quite common right before a Solar Eclipse. As best as you can, stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions and connect to your inner wisdom.\r\n\r\nIt comes down to this: just for now and just as best as you can... could you simply allow what is... to be? Could you simply be the “observer” until the upgrade is complete?\r\n\r\nRather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing things. Think back to late Aug. 2017 -- the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo. What did you start around then? How could you complete it, or move it to the next level?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take the days immediately before and after the Eclipse for meditation, contemplation, journaling — anything that supports an objective understanding of your own thoughts and visions.\r\n\r\nOf course if, like most of us, you have other obligations: take 5 minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, get quiet and be with yourself (i.e. your inspirational Self, your higher mind). Ask yourself: What might become possible if you gave this to yourself on a regular basis?\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday (Feb. 15<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>) </b>is a big day! <i>The Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>until 9:42pm EST</b> (see Tuesday late morning for details)\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday morning</b> an <i>opportune Mercury/Uranus aspect</i> becomes exact at 10:07am EST. <b>We started to feel this from aspect from Wednesday on and it will be strong until Friday</b>.This is an opportunity to connect our thinking and communication to a brighter, more collaborative vision for the future.\r\n\r\nIt also brings an opportunity for insight, novelty and some really unusual conversations. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to realize it.\r\n\r\nThis aspect also brings an opportunity to view things from a different perspective, or put a new spin on \"old\" thinking. We like to connect in unusual ways; any group activities or brainstorming with like-minded people could generate amazing insights -- this might be a busy day. As best as you can, or want to... stay open to other dimensions ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> <i>(Mercury is the ruler of Virgo and Gemini; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\nOn <b>Thursday at 4:05pm EST, </b><i>a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse in 27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> becomes exact. </i>This is the beginning of both a new Moon cycle and an Eclipse cycle.  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\nEclipses take place approximately every 6 months; <i>Solar Eclipses</i> are extra-powerful New Moons that end one 19-year cycle and begin another — the last Solar Eclipse in this same degree of Aquarius was back on Feb. 16th, 1999. We are likely to experience a resonance between now and that time — \"resonant\", rather than identical — so think back to the Spring of 1999:\r\n\r\nWere there any major endings and beginnings? What was important back then? If there were a call this time to take those priorities to the next level… Where would that next level find you?\r\n\r\nIf you\'re looking for more guidance on those questions, I would suggest taking a look at your Natal Chart: the House placement of the Eclipse will indicate which area of life you\'re most ready to take to a new level of consciousness.\r\n\r\nIf that idea appeals, I suggest checking out my <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">30-minute class, \"How to Read My Birth Chart”</a> -- you might also want to purchase the video of the most recent <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">Forecasting Forum</a> -- we looked directly at our own birth charts to see how this Solar Eclipse will affect each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar, available <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">on my website</a>).\r\n\r\nOr...\r\n\r\n<b>Get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, <b>plus</b> a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\r\n\r\nAlthough we have experienced several Eclipses in the Leo/Aquarius polarity since last year, this will be the <i>first Solar Eclipse in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>. This points to a new beginning of some sort, with the visionary Aquarian energy impacting the area of life indicated by its house placement in our individual birth charts.\r\n\r\nSolar Eclipses reveal pathways that can take us to the next level of our evolution. They herald shifts in consciousness; the shift connected with this particular Eclipse will unfold over the next 6 months.\r\n\r\nThe Sun and Moon are connected to one of the Moon Nodes during an Eclipse; in this case, the South Node -- and <i>South Node Eclipses</i> can help us release energies or attachments that no longer serve our Soul’s evolution. Again, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">feel free to check out my webinar about the Eclipses</a> to see where this new beginning and next level of your Soul\'s evolution takes place for you.\r\n\r\nEclipses are Uranian in nature; as such, they are times of uncertainty -- so pretty much anything could happen <b>between now and the end of Eclipse season (Feb. 25th).</b>\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, stay both grounded <i>and</i> flexible — and don\'t jump the gun: If you feel compelled to do something, do your best to simply observe the urge. The exception might be something that happens organically -- but if you are ambivalent about a possible action, better hold off at least until the end of Eclipse Season (Feb. 25th).\r\n\r\nEclipses bring major endings and beginnings. As best you can, trust that whatever is leaving is making space for something better -- the more willing we are to change, the easier it will be.\r\n\r\nThat said, projects and interactions that got underway prior to Eclipse season (i.e. before Jan. 21st) are another matter -- don’t stop your life just because it is Eclipse season ;-) Pay attention also to anything that got started at the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo, in August of last year.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Do I have a better understanding of what brings me joy? Am I more courageous and self-expressed?\r\n\r\nWith the <i>Solar Eclipse</i> in <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>, we have our eye on the future. The highest vibration of Aquarius gives us the opportunity to see a clear vision for our life -- and we are ready to make huge improvements.\r\n\r\n<strong>Aquarius</strong> also deals with the power of ideals, technology, and inventions. We are interested in the collective focus on changing group consciousness; we strive for equality, collaboration, progress. This eclipse invites us to bring this higher vibration to our ability to be courageous and joyful in our own right.\r\n\r\n<i>South Node Eclipses</i> invite us to become aware of the lower vibrations of a sign, so we can release those energies or attachments that no longer serve our evolution, and move toward the higher vibration of the sign -- in this case, that would obviously be Aquarius -- so what do the lower Aquarian vibrations look and feel like?\r\n\r\nAt a lower <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, we feel like outsiders -- as though we don\'t fit in, are maybe a little <i>too</i> different. We want to rebel against social structures that don\'t fit with our vision.\r\n\r\nWe get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not take responsibility for our part in the collective, when we do not honor our individual genius, our unique contribution to society or our communities. Ask yourself:\r\n\r\nWhat stops me from connecting to my inner genius? What if I allowed myself to be both different <i>and</i> connected to others? What if taking responsibility for \"how things are\" was the perfect jump-start for a better future?\r\n\r\nTo move even further into that higher <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, try also asking yourself the following questions: Where am I called to make a difference? What could I, as an individual, do for humanity? And how might group consciousness help humanity make progress? Where can I begin?\r\n\r\nEvery single one of us has a special gift, a spark unique to us; when we access our inner genius and share it with the world, we can make quantum leaps of insight and embark on remarkable collaborations with others. Ask yourself: How does my inner genius communicate? Where does it want to show up?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) currently in <strong>Aries</strong>, sextiles the the Sun, Moon and Mercury in <strong>Aquarius</strong>. </i>This is a tremendous opportunity for all of us to become more aware of our individual impact on the collective: We are all agents of change. Already. Always.\r\n\r\nRight now, our individual capacity to effect change is far greater than we realize — especially for those of us with Uranus, Aquarius, or 11th house planets strongly emphasized in our birth chart — and when we team up with others who also care deeply about creating a better future, we can create real change.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How can I inspire others to foster progress? What becomes possible when we all connect with the intention to create meaningful change for everyone? For all living things?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong> squares the Solar Eclipse, sextiles Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, and trines Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong>. </i>This combo invites us to stretch ourselves for the duration of this Eclipse cycle -- to grow beyond what we currently know ourselves to be -- it supports our ability to build a more meaningful future and allows us to engage more fully in our current healing process.\r\n\r\nHere\'s a good start: We all have \"survival tactics\" we formed in response to past circumstances. Ask yourself: What if I expanded my awareness and comprehension of my personal survival tactics by just 5%? What might a new perspective on my fears and defenses show me? What if I relentlessly questioned old beliefs about intimate or financial partnerships? What might I discover about what has become true in the meantime? If I genuinely allowed this insight to change my behaviors and expectations, what might that look like?\r\n\r\nAs always when Chiron is involved, aim for wholeness, forgiveness — above all, keep a courageously open heart — our light shines all the brighter when all of our authentic self is visible, even the shadowy parts :-)\r\n\r\n<i>Eclipses</i> are a time for clarifying and affirming our highest path. We are bound to experience a release -- and a recalibration: “old” codes will get deleted and new programming downloaded. This is especially true when connected with our vision for the future (and for the collective).\r\n\r\nSuppressing or denying the unique gifts we each bring to the collective experience is even less wise than before; we are more aware than ever that we <b>are interconnected</b> and thus every single one of us contributes to the human experience and is capable of making a difference on this shared journey.\r\n\r\nSince Eclipse season continues until Feb. 25th, I highly recommend again that you treat yourself to the video of my most recent <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">Forecasting Forum</a> (<a href=\"https://goo.gl/uB8R7j\">https://goo.gl/uB8R7j</a>) -- we covered the Eclipses, including this Solar Eclipse in <b>Aquarius</b>, looking directly at our own birth charts to see how this affects each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">on my website</a>).\r\n\r\nOr...\r\n\r\nYou may recall that I now offer membership plans -- you could <b>get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, plus a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum, by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\r\n\r\n<b>Between now and Feb. 25th</b>, allow for the new templates to download; stay centered and do your best to ground from within. Try using conscious breathing, flexibility -- and best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body… And if nothing else, remember: this won\'t last forever -- in another two weeks, the downloads are complete ;-)  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">Again, I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in one of the following placements: 22-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, Scorpio, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly.</i>\r\n\r\nNow let’s talk “Intentions” :-) Regular readers will know that we usually use the time of the New Moon to set intentions for the coming month.\r\n\r\nWith a Solar Eclipse we want to <b>wait 48 hours before setting our intentions</b>. In Saturdays Forecast, I’ll be talking about setting some powerful intentions, not just for the next month as is usual for a New Moon, but for the next <i>six</i> months -- and I\'ll give you the very best times for setting them. <i></i>\r\n<i></i>\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Thursday late afternoon, at 4:05pm EST,</b> at the same time as the New Moon becomes exact, we also enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 6 hours, <b>until 9:42 pm EST</b>. Use this intuitive time to go within and meditate or pray/give thanks/converse with your higher Self.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your Thursday evening ahead of time ;-) <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">(Moon conjuncts Sun in Aquarius)</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday evening,  </b><i>an opportune Venus/Saturn aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:19 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday night and it will stay strong until Saturday. </b>This aspect gives us an opportunity to bring a sense of realism to our relationships, values, and financial affairs: We are more able to see what really needs to be dealt with in those areas and take responsibility for our handling of them.\r\n\r\nOn a financial level, we have an opportunity to see more clearly when and how we might make long-term investments. There\'s no need to rush anything; think it through carefully and responsibly -- do the \"due diligence\". Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us, we have to \"take\" it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 4-8 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)</i>.\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday evening at 9:42 pm EST</b> <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces,</i></b><i> </i>where it will journey <b>until Sunday morning</b>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<b>Friday (Feb. 16</b><b><sup>th</sup></b><b>) </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <b>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details)\r\n\r\n•Moon in Pisces sextiles Saturn in Capricorn 9:58 am\r\n\r\n•Moon in Pisces conjunct Venus in Pisces 11:36 am\r\n\r\n•Moon in Pisces squares Mars in Sagittarius 11:11 pm\r\n\r\n•Moon in Pisces conjunct Neptune in Pisces 8:31 pm\r\n\r\n•Chinese New Year -- Year of the Dog\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday (Feb. 17</b><b><sup>th</sup></b><b>): </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday morning,</b> <i>a challenging Mars/Neptune aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:20 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Sunday evening and it will be strong until next week Thursday morning</b>. This aspect is asking us to stretch ourselves, in order to resolve a tension between the things we want to go after, versus our feelings about a higher, spiritual calling. We may be chasing a dream... or a fantasy.\r\n\r\nOrdinary life may seem drab and uninteresting to us right now. We tend to either over- or underestimate our own power and abilities. We want something that stirs our imagination: Some vision or ideal or dream to motivate us.\r\n\r\nWe have a strong urge to act out our fantasies or live out our dream -- and we have the energy now to DO that which others only talk or dream about; however we tend to feel scattered. As best as you can, slow down and listen to your intuition before aimlessly zooming ahead. Inspire yourself and others.\r\n\r\n<i>Most impacted by this aspect: those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 10-16 degrees of</i><b><i> Sagittarius, Pisces</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Gemini, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday early morning, </b><i>a Sun/Mercury alignment</i> <i>in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact at 7:27 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday evening on, and it will be strong until next week Tuesday evening. </b>This aspect indicates a confident mind and an analytical approach to life. Intelligence and communication abilities are strong at this time; however, we may not listen as well as the other speaks -- we might be too busy thinking about what to say next.\r\n\r\nGiven that this alignment takes place in <strong>Aquarius</strong>, we may feel particularly detached -- do your best to not to be arrogant or get stuck in rigid thinking.\r\n\r\nWe want an active role in communications -- it\'s very hard for us to passively listen and absorb information right now. What we say or write now has impact, so as best as you can, choose your words wisely. If people hung on your every word, what would you say then? What would you hold back from saying?\r\n\r\nOur opinions are strong and our thinking independent -- and we\'re proud of both -- our egos may therefore get bruised if we don\'t feel \"heard\". As best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have different opinion and that\'s ok.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 26-29 degrees of  </i><strong><i>Aquarius, Leo, Scorpio, Taurus, </i></strong><i>or</i><strong><i> </i></strong><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\">Pisces, Virgo, </b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo, Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday</b><b> afternoon, after 4:05pm EST</b>, is also the best time to set<i> our powerful New Moon Intentions</i>. Doing so during a Solar Eclipse is a little different from the regular monthly New Moon process: we are setting those intentions for the whole 6-month Eclipse cycle, rather than just for the next 28 days.\r\n\r\nSo when is the best time to do this? With a Solar Eclipse it is best to wait 48 hours after the Eclipse has been exact before setting any intentions; as always, we also want to avoid any <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> phases.\r\n\r\nThis gives us two \"windows\" for our 6-month intention-setting (all times are EST, which is the New York timezone):\r\n\r\nThe first window is on <b>Saturday, Feb. 17th, between 4:05pm and 5:14pm.</b>\r\n\r\nThe<b> </b>second would be <b>between 7:05am on Sunday, Feb. 18th, and 4:05pm the following day (Monday, Feb. 19th). </b>\r\n\r\nMake them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the Aqaurian energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nThis Solar Eclipse reminds us that to be fully alive requires us to constantly stretch, grow, and change. So, while writing your intentions, ask yourself: What would it take for me to release old patterns from the past? How might that free me to create a more powerful future?\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday early evening</b> <b>at 5:14 pm EST</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 14 hours, <b>until 7:05 am EST</b>. Use this intuitive time to…\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your Saturday evening and Sunday early morning ahead of time ;-) <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">(Moon trines Jupiter in <b>Scorpio</b>)</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Late Saturday evening at 11:28 pm EST </b><i>Mercury changes signs from freedom-loving, forward thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> to creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i>.</b> It will journey through Pisces until <b>March 6<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b>. We are moving from the mind into the heart. For these next two weeks, we get a chance to communicate with compassion -- we see the commonalities between us all, rather than what separates us.\r\n\r\nWe seem to be connected to Source more easily during this time -- if we allow that energy to come through -- and our thinking will be very creative, imaginative and intuitive.\r\n\r\nThe key with this energy is to remain in the “here and now” and open up to a higher vibration. If we can do that, we will be able to download information from an intuitive place, rather than thinking things through. This could also be the reason why our mind is slowing down a bit and why we speak more softly.\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> also offers us an opportunity to let go of any mental structures, conditionings or fears that are no longer serving us. If you are not connected to your intuition, you may want to double check with other people, before signing any documents or buying any big-ticket items. Are you ready to connect to your intuition more fully? Can you allow for the unfolding process, trusting your higher Self more fully?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more talkative during this time. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you may need to learn to surrender to a slower pace and connect more fully to your heart and intuition.  </i>\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday (Feb. 18<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>): </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><b> </b>and<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><b> until 7:05am EST.</b>\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday morning at 7:05 am EST </b><i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries,</i></b> where it will remain <b>until Tuesday afternoon</b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday afternoon at 12:18 pm</b> <i>the Sun moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> where it will remain <b>until March 20th. </b>This brings our awareness to our sense of oneness with everyone and everything around us. We feel like sponges, able to pick up all energy around us; this also makes us more sensitive and emotional. We are more drawn towards expressing ourselves in a creative or spiritual way.\r\n\r\nMusic or energy healing gives us vitality and can heighten our own personal vibrations. We need to slow down a little and listen to our intuition more fully -- if we ignore our feelings and the subtle messages we are getting, we will most likely feel more anxious and somewhat frustrated. This could also be connected to the slow pace that our body or our surroundings are demanding of us.\r\n\r\nThe keyword here is \"allowing\": as best as you can, be aware of what you are resisting, moment to moment, and create some space -- allow it to be as it is. Notice when you are sensing someone else\'s feelings rather than your own.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces </i></b><i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> your vitality will depend on allowing things to flow and being gentle with yourself.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>A heads up for next Monday (Feb. 19th): <em>The Moon remains in Aries </em>all day (see Sunday morning for details). </strong><em>Moon in <strong>Aries</strong> trines Mars in <strong>Sagittarius</strong> at 10:18am EST. Moon in <strong>Aries</strong> squares Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong> at 8:47pm EST. </em>More about all the details in next week’s forecast ;-)\r\n<h3><b>One Last Announcement:</b></h3>\r\nJoin me for my next FORECASTING FORUM, <b>Friday</b>, <b>March 2nd, 2018 at </b>12pm<b> </b>PST/<b> 3pm EST</b>/8pm GMT (London-time).<b> Please note </b>that we will be talking about the upcoming<b> Station </b>and<b> Retrograde phases in March: </b>Jupiter stations and goes retrograde in 23º of <b>Scorpio</b>, Mercury stations and goes retrograde in 17º of <b>Aries</b>.\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how to align yourself with these retrograde phases, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation. <a href=\"http://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">To register now, click here</a>\r\n\r\n<b>Here is a testimonial from one of our participants right after joining our most recent Forum:</b>\r\n<blockquote><i>“I truly enjoyed the webinar...  And I watched you to the end....

If you love Astrology, or simply want to explore yourself on a deeper level and live life more consciously, this community is for you. <b>Why join now? </b>\r\n\r\n<b>For the next four weeks</b> as I get the kinks worked out of my new membership site -- and as a huge thank you for being a part of my online community already -- I\'ll be offering a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\"><b>super-dooper special launch discount</b></a> on site membership. This is only for those of you who are already part of my mailing list or have joined me on my social media platforms. For more info, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/aEhibk\">click here</a>: <a href=\"https://t.co/D9rKCOuMUE\">https://goo.gl/aEhibk </a>\r\n\r\n<strong>It get’s better:</strong> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\">join the Star or SuperStar Membership</a> <strong>before Feb. 25th</strong>, you will also receive my latest Forecasting Forum — about the Eclipses and how they impact you personally — for FREE ;-)\r\n\r\nThere will be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC Phases</a> this week: Monday night/Tuesday very early morning (for 9.5 hours), Thursday afternoon (for almost 6 hours), and Saturday early evening until Sunday morning (for almost 14 hours).\r\n\r\n<b>Monday (February 12<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> <i>the Moon remains in </i><i>practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> <b>all day. </b>It will journey there <b>until Tuesday late morning. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday</strong><b> afternoon</b>, our focus intensifies -- we might even get a little obsessed with a project or task -- as best as you can, take breaks and don\'t forget to practice a little self-care ;-) <em><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">(Moon in Capricorn conjunct Pluto in Capricorn 2:22 pm -- post at 12pm EST)</span></em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday evening,</strong> we get the opportunity to investigate our deepest motivations and align them with our long-term goals and achievements (if we are awake at this time, of course). We are capable of great focus for the next couple of hours. As with all opportunities in life, this one is not simply handed to us, we have to make something of it. Might deeper perspectives into your psyche move you closer to long-term goals? <em>(<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Moon in Capricorn sextiles Jupiter in Scorpio 6:42 pm -- post at 4:45pm EST)</span></em>\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday (Feb. 13<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> <i>the Moon remains in practical, </i><i>accomplishment-oriented</i><i> </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> <b>until 10:11am EST</b> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday very early morning,</b> <b>at 12:43am EST,</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for about 9.5 hours, <b>until 10:11am EST</b>.You may be aware of two seemingly conflicting desires: On the one hand, a need for serious, diligent accomplishment -- and on the other, a desire to break free and rebel against obligations.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take some breaks, and \"let your freak flag fly\" -- just for a moment -- and revel in it! As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your morning ahead of time ;-) <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">(Moon squares Uranus in <b>Aries</b>)</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday at 10:11 am EST</b> <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> where it will be <b>until Thursday evening</b>. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday early evening</b> a <i>challenging Mercury/Jupiter aspect</i> becomes exact at 5:39 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from</b> <b>Sunday and it will be strong until Thursday. </b>This aspect asks that we grow and evolve in the following areas: how we communicate our vision for the future and how much we share with others. We may have to find creative solutions to communicate; we may have to learn about our thinking process and conditioning.\r\n\r\nWe want to share ourselves without limitation. We are thus inclined to exaggeration, often unintended -- and might struggle to transform ideas into reality. The upside to all this: we can be extraordinarily funny, interesting and creative.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday </b><i>an opportune Sun/Uranus aspect</i><b> </b>becomes exact at 9:23pm EST. <b>We started to feel this aspect Sunday evening on, and it will be strong until Thursday night. </b>We have the opportunity to become aware of an original or unique approach to life. Flexibility is the key to success at this time; pleasant changes may be in store -- certainly unexpected ones ;-)\r\n\r\nWhat is your uniqueness? How could you express that proudly and authentically? As best as you can, watch out for messages from the Universe! Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us: We have to \"realize\" it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo</i></b><i> or</i><b><i> Aquarius </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday (Feb. 14<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> (Valentine’s Day) <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>all day</b> (see Tuesday late morning for details)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday morning</strong> is an opportunity to connect with others and explore actively the things that can bring us progress. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>(Moon in Aquarius sextiles Mars in Sagittarius 9:29am EST -- post at 7:30am EST)</em></span>\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday </b>is also the <i>last day before the Solar Eclipse in</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact. There is some potent energy coming our way; it would be wise to prepare ourselves to be transformed by it, allowing for our consciousness upgrade to be installed.\r\n\r\nThis is a good time to slow things down and go within. For many of us, this will be a stretch, as we want to do just the opposite: jump the gun, get started with something new, act impulsively, etc. This is quite common right before a Solar Eclipse. As best as you can, stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions and connect to your inner wisdom.\r\n\r\nIt comes down to this: just for now and just as best as you can... could you simply allow what is... to be? Could you simply be the “observer” until the upgrade is complete?\r\n\r\nRather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing things. Think back to late Aug. 2017 -- the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo. What did you start around then? How could you complete it, or move it to the next level?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take the days immediately before and after the Eclipse for meditation, contemplation, journaling — anything that supports an objective understanding of your own thoughts and visions.\r\n\r\nOf course if, like most of us, you have other obligations: take 5 minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, get quiet and be with yourself (i.e. your inspirational Self, your higher mind). Ask yourself: What might become possible if you gave this to yourself on a regular basis?\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday (Feb. 15<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>) </b>is a big day! <i>The Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>until 9:42pm EST</b> (see Tuesday late morning for details)\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday morning</b> an <i>opportune Mercury/Uranus aspect</i> becomes exact at 10:07am EST. <b>We started to feel this from aspect from Wednesday on and it will be strong until Friday</b>.This is an opportunity to connect our thinking and communication to a brighter, more collaborative vision for the future.\r\n\r\nIt also brings an opportunity for insight, novelty and some really unusual conversations. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to realize it.\r\n\r\nThis aspect also brings an opportunity to view things from a different perspective, or put a new spin on \"old\" thinking. We like to connect in unusual ways; any group activities or brainstorming with like-minded people could generate amazing insights -- this might be a busy day. As best as you can, or want to... stay open to other dimensions ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> <i>(Mercury is the ruler of Virgo and Gemini; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\nOn <b>Thursday at 4:05pm EST, </b><i>a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse in 27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> becomes exact. </i>This is the beginning of both a new Moon cycle and an Eclipse cycle.  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\nEclipses take place approximately every 6 months; <i>Solar Eclipses</i> are extra-powerful New Moons that end one 19-year cycle and begin another — the last Solar Eclipse in this same degree of Aquarius was back on Feb. 16th, 1999. We are likely to experience a resonance between now and that time — \"resonant\", rather than identical — so think back to the Spring of 1999:\r\n\r\nWere there any major endings and beginnings? What was important back then? If there were a call this time to take those priorities to the next level… Where would that next level find you?\r\n\r\nIf you\'re looking for more guidance on those questions, I would suggest taking a look at your Natal Chart: the House placement of the Eclipse will indicate which area of life you\'re most ready to take to a new level of consciousness.\r\n\r\nIf that idea appeals, I suggest checking out my <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">30-minute class, \"How to Read My Birth Chart”</a> -- you might also want to purchase the video of the most recent <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">Forecasting Forum</a> -- we looked directly at our own birth charts to see how this Solar Eclipse will affect each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar, available <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">on my website</a>).\r\n\r\nOr...\r\n\r\n<b>Get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, <b>plus</b> a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\r\n\r\nAlthough we have experienced several Eclipses in the Leo/Aquarius polarity since last year, this will be the <i>first Solar Eclipse in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>. This points to a new beginning of some sort, with the visionary Aquarian energy impacting the area of life indicated by its house placement in our individual birth charts.\r\n\r\nSolar Eclipses reveal pathways that can take us to the next level of our evolution. They herald shifts in consciousness; the shift connected with this particular Eclipse will unfold over the next 6 months.\r\n\r\nThe Sun and Moon are connected to one of the Moon Nodes during an Eclipse; in this case, the South Node -- and <i>South Node Eclipses</i> can help us release energies or attachments that no longer serve our Soul’s evolution. Again, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">feel free to check out my webinar about the Eclipses</a> to see where this new beginning and next level of your Soul\'s evolution takes place for you.\r\n\r\nEclipses are Uranian in nature; as such, they are times of uncertainty -- so pretty much anything could happen <b>between now and the end of Eclipse season (Feb. 25th).</b>\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, stay both grounded <i>and</i> flexible — and don\'t jump the gun: If you feel compelled to do something, do your best to simply observe the urge. The exception might be something that happens organically -- but if you are ambivalent about a possible action, better hold off at least until the end of Eclipse Season (Feb. 25th).\r\n\r\nEclipses bring major endings and beginnings. As best you can, trust that whatever is leaving is making space for something better -- the more willing we are to change, the easier it will be.\r\n\r\nThat said, projects and interactions that got underway prior to Eclipse season (i.e. before Jan. 21st) are another matter -- don’t stop your life just because it is Eclipse season ;-) Pay attention also to anything that got started at the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo, in August of last year.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Do I have a better understanding of what brings me joy? Am I more courageous and self-expressed?\r\n\r\nWith the <i>Solar Eclipse</i> in <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>, we have our eye on the future. The highest vibration of Aquarius gives us the opportunity to see a clear vision for our life -- and we are ready to make huge improvements.\r\n\r\n<strong>Aquarius</strong> also deals with the power of ideals, technology, and inventions. We are interested in the collective focus on changing group consciousness; we strive for equality, collaboration, progress. This eclipse invites us to bring this higher vibration to our ability to be courageous and joyful in our own right.\r\n\r\n<i>South Node Eclipses</i> invite us to become aware of the lower vibrations of a sign, so we can release those energies or attachments that no longer serve our evolution, and move toward the higher vibration of the sign -- in this case, that would obviously be Aquarius -- so what do the lower Aquarian vibrations look and feel like?\r\n\r\nAt a lower <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, we feel like outsiders -- as though we don\'t fit in, are maybe a little <i>too</i> different. We want to rebel against social structures that don\'t fit with our vision.\r\n\r\nWe get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not take responsibility for our part in the collective, when we do not honor our individual genius, our unique contribution to society or our communities. Ask yourself:\r\n\r\nWhat stops me from connecting to my inner genius? What if I allowed myself to be both different <i>and</i> connected to others? What if taking responsibility for \"how things are\" was the perfect jump-start for a better future?\r\n\r\nTo move even further into that higher <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, try also asking yourself the following questions: Where am I called to make a difference? What could I, as an individual, do for humanity? And how might group consciousness help humanity make progress? Where can I begin?\r\n\r\nEvery single one of us has a special gift, a spark unique to us; when we access our inner genius and share it with the world, we can make quantum leaps of insight and embark on remarkable collaborations with others. Ask yourself: How does my inner genius communicate? Where does it want to show up?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) currently in <strong>Aries</strong>, sextiles the the Sun, Moon and Mercury in <strong>Aquarius</strong>. </i>This is a tremendous opportunity for all of us to become more aware of our individual impact on the collective: We are all agents of change. Already. Always.\r\n\r\nRight now, our individual capacity to effect change is far greater than we realize — especially for those of us with Uranus, Aquarius, or 11th house planets strongly emphasized in our birth chart — and when we team up with others who also care deeply about creating a better future, we can create real change.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How can I inspire others to foster progress? What becomes possible when we all connect with the intention to create meaningful change for everyone? For all living things?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong> squares the Solar Eclipse, sextiles Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, and trines Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong>. </i>This combo invites us to stretch ourselves for the duration of this Eclipse cycle -- to grow beyond what we currently know ourselves to be -- it supports our ability to build a more meaningful future and allows us to engage more fully in our current healing process.\r\n\r\nHere\'s a good start: We all have \"survival tactics\" we formed in response to past circumstances. Ask yourself: What if I expanded my awareness and comprehension of my personal survival tactics by just 5%? What might a new perspective on my fears and defenses show me? What if I relentlessly questioned old beliefs about intimate or financial partnerships? What might I discover about what has become true in the meantime? If I genuinely allowed this insight to change my behaviors and expectations, what might that look like?\r\n\r\nAs always when Chiron is involved, aim for wholeness, forgiveness — above all, keep a courageously open heart — our light shines all the brighter when all of our authentic self is visible, even the shadowy parts :-)\r\n\r\n<i>Eclipses</i> are a time for clarifying and affirming our highest path. We are bound to experience a release -- and a recalibration: “old” codes will get deleted and new programming downloaded. This is especially true when connected with our vision for the future (and for the collective).\r\n\r\nSuppressing or denying the unique gifts we each bring to the collective experience is even less wise than before; we are more aware than ever that we <b>are interconnected</b> and thus every single one of us contributes to the human experience and is capable of making a difference on this shared journey.\r\n\r\nSince Eclipse season continues until Feb. 25th, I highly recommend again that you treat yourself to the video of my most recent <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">Forecasting Forum</a> (<a href=\"https://goo.gl/uB8R7j\">https://goo.gl/uB8R7j</a>) -- we covered the Eclipses, including this Solar Eclipse in <b>Aquarius</b>, looking directly at our own birth charts to see how this affects each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">on my website</a>).\r\n\r\nOr...\r\n\r\nYou may recall that I now offer membership plans -- you could <b>get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, plus a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum, by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\r\n\r\n<b>Between now and Feb. 25th</b>, allow for the new templates to download; stay centered and do your best to ground from within. Try using conscious breathing, flexibility -- and best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body… And if nothing else, remember: this won\'t last forever -- in another two weeks, the downloads are complete ;-)  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">Again, I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in one of the following placements: 22-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, Scorpio, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly.</i>\r\n\r\nNow let’s talk “Intentions” :-) Regular readers will know that we usually use the time of the New Moon to set intentions for the coming month.\r\n\r\nWith a Solar Eclipse we want to <b>wait 48 hours before setting our intentions</b>. In Saturdays Forecast, I’ll be talking about setting some powerful intentions, not just for the next month as is usual for a New Moon, but for the next <i>six</i> months -- and I\'ll give you the very best times for setting them. <i></i>\r\n<i></i>\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Thursday late afternoon, at 4:05pm EST,</b> at the same time as the New Moon becomes exact, we also enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 6 hours, <b>until 9:42 pm EST</b>. Use this intuitive time to go within and meditate or pray/give thanks/converse with your higher Self.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your Thursday evening ahead of time ;-) <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">(Moon conjuncts Sun in Aquarius)</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday evening,  </b><i>an opportune Venus/Saturn aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:19 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday night and it will stay strong until Saturday. </b>This aspect gives us an opportunity to bring a sense of realism to our relationships, values, and financial affairs: We are more able to see what really needs to be dealt with in those areas and take responsibility for our handling of them.\r\n\r\nOn a financial level, we have an opportunity to see more clearly when and how we might make long-term investments. There\'s no need to rush anything; think it through carefully and responsibly -- do the \"due diligence\". Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us, we have to \"take\" it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 4-8 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)</i>.\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday evening at 9:42 pm EST,</b> <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces,</i></b><i> </i>where it will journey <b>until Sunday morning</b>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<b>Friday (Feb. 16<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>) </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <b>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday morning</strong>, <span style=\"color: #993300;\">we get an opportunity to be very present; also to focus on the  practical and our long-term plans.

Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>(Moon in Pisces conjunct Neptune in Pisces 11:31 pm -- post at 9:30pm EST)</em></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday</strong> is also Chinese New Year -- Year of the Dog.\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday (Feb. 17</b><b><sup>th</sup></b><b>): </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday morning,</b> <i>a challenging Mars/Neptune aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:20 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Sunday evening and it will be strong until next week Thursday morning</b>. This aspect is asking us to stretch ourselves, in order to resolve a tension between the things we want to go after, versus our feelings about a higher, spiritual calling. We may be chasing a dream... or a fantasy.\r\n\r\nOrdinary life may seem drab and uninteresting to us right now. We tend to either over- or underestimate our own power and abilities. We want something that stirs our imagination: Some vision or ideal or dream to motivate us.\r\n\r\nWe have a strong urge to act out our fantasies or live out our dream -- and we have the energy now to DO that which others only talk or dream about; however we tend to feel scattered. As best as you can, slow down and listen to your intuition before aimlessly zooming ahead. Inspire yourself and others.\r\n\r\n<i>Most impacted by this aspect: those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 10-16 degrees of</i><b><i> Sagittarius, Pisces</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Gemini, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday early morning, </b><i>a Sun/Mercury alignment</i> <i>in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact at 7:27 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday evening on, and it will be strong until next week Tuesday evening. </b>This aspect indicates a confident mind and an analytical approach to life. Intelligence and communication abilities are strong at this time; however, we may not listen as well as the other speaks -- we might be too busy thinking about what to say next.\r\n\r\nGiven that this alignment takes place in <strong>Aquarius</strong>, we may feel particularly detached -- do your best to not to be arrogant or get stuck in rigid thinking.\r\n\r\nWe want an active role in communications -- it\'s very hard for us to passively listen and absorb information right now. What we say or write now has impact, so as best as you can, choose your words wisely. If people hung on your every word, what would you say then? What would you hold back from saying?\r\n\r\nOur opinions are strong and our thinking independent -- and we\'re proud of both -- our egos may therefore get bruised if we don\'t feel \"heard\". As best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have different opinion and that\'s ok.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 26-29 degrees of  </i><strong><i>Aquarius, Leo, Scorpio, Taurus, </i></strong><i>or</i><strong><i> </i></strong><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\">Pisces, Virgo, </b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo, Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday</b><b> afternoon, after 4:05pm EST</b>, is also the best time to set<i> our powerful New Moon Intentions</i>. Doing so during a Solar Eclipse is a little different from the regular monthly New Moon process: we are setting those intentions for the whole 6-month Eclipse cycle, rather than just for the next 28 days.\r\n\r\nSo when is the best time to do this? With a Solar Eclipse it is best to wait 48 hours after the Eclipse has been exact before setting any intentions; as always, we also want to avoid any <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> phases.\r\n\r\nThis gives us two \"windows\" for our 6-month intention-setting (all times are EST, which is the New York timezone):\r\n\r\nThe first window is on <b>Saturday, Feb. 17th, between 4:05pm and 5:14pm.</b>\r\n\r\nThe<b> </b>second would be <b>between 7:05am on Sunday, Feb. 18th, and 4:05pm the following day (Monday, Feb. 19th). </b>\r\n\r\nMake them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the Aqaurian energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nThis Solar Eclipse reminds us that to be fully alive requires us to constantly stretch, grow, and change. So, while writing your intentions, ask yourself: What would it take for me to release old patterns from the past? How might that free me to create a more powerful future?\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday early evening</b> <b>at 5:14 pm EST</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 14 hours, <b>until 7:05 am EST</b>.

You may also want to plan your Saturday evening and Sunday early morning ahead of time ;-) <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">(Moon trines Jupiter in <b>Scorpio</b>)</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Late Saturday evening at 11:28 pm EST </b><i>Mercury changes signs from freedom-loving, forward thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> to creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i>.</b> It will journey through Pisces until <b>March 6<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b>. We are moving from the mind into the heart. For these next two weeks, we get a chance to communicate with compassion -- we see the commonalities between us all, rather than what separates us.\r\n\r\nWe seem to be connected to Source more easily during this time -- if we allow that energy to come through -- and our thinking will be very creative, imaginative and intuitive.\r\n\r\nThe key with this energy is to remain in the “here and now” and open up to a higher vibration. If we can do that, we will be able to download information from an intuitive place, rather than thinking things through. This could also be the reason why our mind is slowing down a bit and why we speak more softly.\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> also offers us an opportunity to let go of any mental structures, conditionings or fears that are no longer serving us. If you are not connected to your intuition, you may want to double check with other people, before signing any documents or buying any big-ticket items. Are you ready to connect to your intuition more fully? Can you allow for the unfolding process, trusting your higher Self more fully?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more talkative during this time. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you may need to learn to surrender to a slower pace and connect more fully to your heart and intuition.  </i>\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday (Feb. 18<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>): </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><b> </b>and<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><b> until 7:05am EST.</b>\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday morning at 7:05 am EST </b><i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries,</i></b> where it will remain <b>until Tuesday afternoon</b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday afternoon at 12:18 pm</b> <i>the Sun moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> where it will remain <b>until March 20th. </b>This brings our awareness to our sense of oneness with everyone and everything around us. We feel like sponges, able to pick up all energy around us; this also makes us more sensitive and emotional. We are more drawn towards expressing ourselves in a creative or spiritual way.\r\n\r\nMusic or energy healing gives us vitality and can heighten our own personal vibrations. We need to slow down a little and listen to our intuition more fully -- if we ignore our feelings and the subtle messages we are getting, we will most likely feel more anxious and somewhat frustrated. This could also be connected to the slow pace that our body or our surroundings are demanding of us.\r\n\r\nThe keyword here is \"allowing\": as best as you can, be aware of what you are resisting, moment to moment, and create some space -- allow it to be as it is. Notice when you are sensing someone else\'s feelings rather than your own.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces </i></b><i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> your vitality will depend on allowing things to flow and being gentle with yourself.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>A heads up for next Monday (Feb. 19th): <em>The Moon remains in Aries </em>all day (see Sunday morning for details). </strong><em>Moon in <strong>Aries</strong> trines Mars in <strong>Sagittarius</strong> at 10:18am EST. Moon in <strong>Aries</strong> squares Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong> at 8:47pm EST. </em>More about all the details in next week’s forecast ;-)\r\n<h3><b>One Last Announcement:</b></h3>\r\nJoin me for my next FORECASTING FORUM, <b>Friday</b>, <b>March 2nd, 2018 at </b>12pm<b> </b>PST/<b> 3pm EST</b>/8pm GMT (London-time).<b> Please note </b>that we will be talking about the upcoming<b> Station </b>and<b> Retrograde phases in March: </b>Jupiter stations and goes retrograde in 23º of <b>Scorpio</b>, Mercury stations and goes retrograde in 17º of <b>Aries</b>.\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how to align yourself with these retrograde phases, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation. <a href=\"http://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">To register now, click here</a>\r\n\r\n<b>Here is a testimonial from one of our participants right after joining our most recent Forum:</b>\r\n<blockquote><i>“I truly enjoyed the webinar...  And I watched you to the end....

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday</strong><b> afternoon</b>, our focus intensifies -- we might even get a little obsessed with a project or task -- as best as you can, take breaks and don\'t forget to practice a little self-care ;-) <em><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">(Moon in Capricorn conjunct Pluto in Capricorn 2:22 pm -- post at 12pm EST)</span></em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday evening,</strong> we get the opportunity to investigate our deepest motivations and align them with our long-term goals and achievements (if we are awake at this time, of course). We are capable of great focus for the next couple of hours. As with all opportunities in life, this one is not simply handed to us, we have to make something of it. Might deeper perspectives into your psyche move you closer to long-term goals? <em>(<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Moon in Capricorn sextiles Jupiter in Scorpio 6:42 pm -- post at 4:45pm EST)</span></em>\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday (Feb. 13<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> <i>the Moon remains in practical, </i><i>accomplishment-oriented</i><i> </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> <b>until 10:11am EST</b> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday very early morning,</b> <b>at 12:43am EST,</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for about 9.5 hours, <b>until 10:11am EST</b>.You may be aware of two seemingly conflicting desires: On the one hand, a need for serious, diligent accomplishment -- and on the other, a desire to break free and rebel against obligations.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take some breaks, and \"let your freak flag fly\" -- just for a moment -- and revel in it! As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your morning ahead of time ;-) <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">(Moon squares Uranus in <b>Aries</b>)</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday at 10:11 am EST</b> <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> where it will be <b>until Thursday evening</b>. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday early evening</b> a <i>challenging Mercury/Jupiter aspect</i> becomes exact at 5:39 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from</b> <b>Sunday and it will be strong until Thursday. </b>This aspect asks that we grow and evolve in the following areas: how we communicate our vision for the future and how much we share with others. We may have to find creative solutions to communicate; we may have to learn about our thinking process and conditioning.\r\n\r\nWe want to share ourselves without limitation. We are thus inclined to exaggeration, often unintended -- and might struggle to transform ideas into reality. The upside to all this: we can be extraordinarily funny, interesting and creative.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday </b><i>an opportune Sun/Uranus aspect</i><b> </b>becomes exact at 9:23pm EST. <b>We started to feel this aspect Sunday evening on, and it will be strong until Thursday night. </b>We have the opportunity to become aware of an original or unique approach to life. Flexibility is the key to success at this time; pleasant changes may be in store -- certainly unexpected ones ;-)\r\n\r\nWhat is your uniqueness? How could you express that proudly and authentically? As best as you can, watch out for messages from the Universe! Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us: We have to \"realize\" it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo</i></b><i> or</i><b><i> Aquarius </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday (Feb. 14<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> (Valentine’s Day) <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>all day</b> (see Tuesday late morning for details)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday morning</strong> is an opportunity to connect with others and explore actively the things that can bring us progress. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>(Moon in Aquarius sextiles Mars in Sagittarius 9:29am EST -- post at 7:30am EST)</em></span>\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday </b>is also the <i>last day before the Solar Eclipse in</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact. There is some potent energy coming our way; it would be wise to prepare ourselves to be transformed by it, allowing for our consciousness upgrade to be installed.\r\n\r\nThis is a good time to slow things down and go within. For many of us, this will be a stretch, as we want to do just the opposite: jump the gun, get started with something new, act impulsively, etc. This is quite common right before a Solar Eclipse. As best as you can, stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions and connect to your inner wisdom.\r\n\r\nIt comes down to this: just for now and just as best as you can... could you simply allow what is... to be? Could you simply be the “observer” until the upgrade is complete?\r\n\r\nRather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing things. Think back to late Aug. 2017 -- the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo. What did you start around then? How could you complete it, or move it to the next level?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take the days immediately before and after the Eclipse for meditation, contemplation, journaling — anything that supports an objective understanding of your own thoughts and visions.\r\n\r\nOf course if, like most of us, you have other obligations: take 5 minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, get quiet and be with yourself (i.e. your inspirational Self, your higher mind). Ask yourself: What might become possible if you gave this to yourself on a regular basis?\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday (Feb. 15<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>) </b>is a big day! <i>The Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>until 9:42pm EST</b> (see Tuesday late morning for details)\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday morning</b> an <i>opportune Mercury/Uranus aspect</i> becomes exact at 10:07am EST. <b>We started to feel this from aspect from Wednesday on, and it will be strong until Friday</b>.This is an opportunity to connect our thinking and communication to a brighter, more collaborative vision for the future.\r\n\r\nIt also brings an opportunity for insight, novelty and some really unusual conversations. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to realize it.\r\n\r\nThis aspect also brings an opportunity to view things from a different perspective, or put a new spin on \"old\" thinking. We like to connect in unusual ways; any group activities or brainstorming with like-minded people could generate amazing insights -- this might be a busy day. As best as you can, or want to... stay open to other dimensions ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> <i>(Mercury is the ruler of Virgo and Gemini; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\nOn <b>Thursday at 4:05pm EST, </b><i>a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse in 27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> becomes exact. </i>This is the beginning of both a new Moon cycle and an Eclipse cycle.  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\nEclipses take place approximately every 6 months; <i>Solar Eclipses</i> are extra-powerful New Moons that end one 19-year cycle and begin another — the last Solar Eclipse in this same degree of Aquarius was back on Feb. 16th, 1999. We are likely to experience a resonance between now and that time — \"resonant\", rather than identical — so think back to the Spring of 1999:\r\n\r\nWere there any major endings and beginnings? What was important back then? If there were a call this time to take those priorities to the next level… Where would that next level find you?\r\n\r\nIf you\'re looking for more guidance on those questions, I would suggest taking a look at your Natal Chart: the House placement of the Eclipse will indicate which area of life you\'re most ready to take to a new level of consciousness.\r\n\r\nIf that idea appeals, I suggest checking out my <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">30-minute class, \"How to Read My Birth Chart”</a> -- you might also want to purchase the video of the most recent <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">Forecasting Forum</a> -- we looked directly at our own birth charts to see how this Solar Eclipse will affect each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar, available <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">on my website</a>).\r\n\r\nOr...\r\n\r\n<b>Get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, <b>plus</b> a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\r\n\r\nAlthough we have experienced several Eclipses in the Leo/Aquarius polarity since last year, this will be the <i>first Solar Eclipse in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>. This points to a new beginning of some sort, with the visionary Aquarian energy impacting the area of life indicated by its house placement in our individual birth charts.\r\n\r\nSolar Eclipses reveal pathways that can take us to the next level of our evolution. They herald shifts in consciousness; the shift connected with this particular Eclipse will unfold over the next 6 months.\r\n\r\nThe Sun and Moon are connected to one of the Moon Nodes during an Eclipse; in this case, the South Node -- and <i>South Node Eclipses</i> can help us release energies or attachments that no longer serve our Soul’s evolution. Again, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">feel free to check out my webinar about the Eclipses</a> to see where this new beginning and next level of your Soul\'s evolution takes place for you.\r\n\r\nEclipses are Uranian in nature; as such, they are times of uncertainty -- so pretty much anything could happen <b>between now and the end of Eclipse season (Feb. 25th).</b>\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, stay both grounded <i>and</i> flexible — and don\'t jump the gun: If you feel compelled to do something, do your best to simply observe the urge. The exception might be something that happens organically -- but if you are ambivalent about a possible action, better hold off at least until the end of Eclipse Season (Feb. 25th).\r\n\r\nEclipses bring major endings and beginnings. As best you can, trust that whatever is leaving is making space for something better -- the more willing we are to change, the easier it will be.\r\n\r\nThat said, projects and interactions that got underway prior to Eclipse season (i.e. before Jan. 21st) are another matter -- don’t stop your life just because it is Eclipse season ;-) Pay attention also to anything that got started at the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo, in August of last year.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Do I have a better understanding of what brings me joy? Am I more courageous and self-expressed?\r\n\r\nWith the <i>Solar Eclipse</i> in <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>, we have our eye on the future. The highest vibration of Aquarius gives us the opportunity to see a clear vision for our life -- and we are ready to make huge improvements.\r\n\r\n<strong>Aquarius</strong> also deals with the power of ideals, technology, and inventions. We are interested in the collective focus on changing group consciousness; we strive for equality, collaboration, progress. This eclipse invites us to bring this higher vibration to our ability to be courageous and joyful in our own right.\r\n\r\n<i>South Node Eclipses</i> invite us to become aware of the lower vibrations of a sign, so we can release those energies or attachments that no longer serve our evolution, and move toward the higher vibration of the sign -- in this case, that would obviously be Aquarius -- so what do the lower Aquarian vibrations look and feel like?\r\n\r\nAt a lower <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, we feel like outsiders -- as though we don\'t fit in, are maybe a little <i>too</i> different. We want to rebel against social structures that don\'t fit with our vision.\r\n\r\nWe get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not take responsibility for our part in the collective, when we do not honor our individual genius, our unique contribution to society or our communities. Ask yourself:\r\n\r\nWhat stops me from connecting to my inner genius? What if I allowed myself to be both different <i>and</i> connected to others? What if taking responsibility for \"how things are\" was the perfect jump-start for a better future?\r\n\r\nTo move even further into that higher <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, try also asking yourself the following questions: Where am I called to make a difference? What could I, as an individual, do for humanity? And how might group consciousness help humanity make progress? Where can I begin?\r\n\r\nEvery single one of us has a special gift, a spark unique to us; when we access our inner genius and share it with the world, we can make quantum leaps of insight and embark on remarkable collaborations with others. Ask yourself: How does my inner genius communicate? Where does it want to show up?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) currently in <strong>Aries</strong>, sextiles the the Sun, Moon and Mercury in <strong>Aquarius</strong>. </i>This is a tremendous opportunity for all of us to become more aware of our individual impact on the collective: We are all agents of change. Already. Always.\r\n\r\nRight now, our individual capacity to effect change is far greater than we realize — especially for those of us with Uranus, Aquarius, or 11th house planets strongly emphasized in our birth chart — and when we team up with others who also care deeply about creating a better future, we can create real change.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How can I inspire others to foster progress? What becomes possible when we all connect with the intention to create meaningful change for everyone? For all living things?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong> squares the Solar Eclipse, sextiles Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, and trines Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong>. </i>This combo invites us to stretch ourselves for the duration of this Eclipse cycle -- to grow beyond what we currently know ourselves to be -- it supports our ability to build a more meaningful future and allows us to engage more fully in our current healing process.\r\n\r\nHere\'s a good start: We all have \"survival tactics\" we formed in response to past circumstances. Ask yourself: What if I expanded my awareness and comprehension of my personal survival tactics by just 5%? What might a new perspective on my fears and defenses show me? What if I relentlessly questioned old beliefs about intimate or financial partnerships? What might I discover about what has become true in the meantime? If I genuinely allowed this insight to change my behaviors and expectations, what might that look like?\r\n\r\nAs always when Chiron is involved, aim for wholeness, forgiveness — above all, keep a courageously open heart — our light shines all the brighter when all of our authentic self is visible, even the shadowy parts :-)\r\n\r\n<i>Eclipses</i> are a time for clarifying and affirming our highest path. We are bound to experience a release -- and a recalibration: “old” codes will get deleted and new programming downloaded. This is especially true when connected with our vision for the future (and for the collective).\r\n\r\nSuppressing or denying the unique gifts we each bring to the collective experience is even less wise than before; we are more aware than ever that we <b>are interconnected</b> and thus every single one of us contributes to the human experience and is capable of making a difference on this shared journey.\r\n\r\nSince Eclipse season continues until Feb. 25th, I highly recommend again that you treat yourself to the video of my most recent <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">Forecasting Forum</a> (<a href=\"https://goo.gl/uB8R7j\">https://goo.gl/uB8R7j</a>) -- we covered the Eclipses, including this Solar Eclipse in <b>Aquarius</b>, looking directly at our own birth charts to see how this affects each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">on my website</a>).\r\n\r\nOr...\r\n\r\nYou may recall that I now offer membership plans -- you could <b>get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, plus a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum, by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\r\n\r\n<b>Between now and Feb. 25th</b>, allow for the new templates to download; stay centered and do your best to ground from within. Try using conscious breathing, flexibility -- and best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body… And if nothing else, remember: this won\'t last forever -- in another two weeks, the downloads are complete ;-)  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">Again, I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in one of the following placements: 22-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, Scorpio, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly.</i>\r\n\r\nNow let’s talk “Intentions” :-) Regular readers will know that we usually use the time of the New Moon to set intentions for the coming month.\r\n\r\nWith a Solar Eclipse we want to <b>wait 48 hours before setting our intentions</b>. In Saturdays Forecast, I’ll be talking about setting some powerful intentions, not just for the next month as is usual for a New Moon, but for the next <i>six</i> months -- and I\'ll give you the very best times for setting them. <i></i>\r\n<i></i>\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Thursday late afternoon, at 4:05pm EST,</b> at the same time as the New Moon becomes exact, we also enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 6 hours, <b>until 9:42 pm EST</b>. Use this intuitive time to go within and meditate or pray/give thanks/converse with your higher Self.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your Thursday evening ahead of time ;-) <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">(Moon conjuncts Sun in Aquarius)</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday evening,  </b><i>an opportune Venus/Saturn aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:19 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday night and it will stay strong until Saturday. </b>This aspect gives us an opportunity to bring a sense of realism to our relationships, values, and financial affairs: We are more able to see what really needs to be dealt with in those areas and take responsibility for our handling of them.\r\n\r\nOn a financial level, we have an opportunity to see more clearly when and how we might make long-term investments. There\'s no need to rush anything; think it through carefully and responsibly -- do the \"due diligence\". Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us, we have to \"take\" it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 4-8 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)</i>.\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday evening at 9:42 pm EST,</b> <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces,</i></b><i> </i>where it will journey <b>until Sunday morning</b>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<b>Friday (Feb. 16<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>) </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <b>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday morning</strong>, <span style=\"color: #993300;\">we get an opportunity to be very present; also to focus on the  practical and our long-term plans.

We may be chasing a dream... or a fantasy.\r\n\r\nOrdinary life may seem drab and uninteresting to us right now. We tend to either over- or underestimate our own power and abilities. We want something that stirs our imagination: Some vision or ideal or dream to motivate us.\r\n\r\nWe have a strong urge to act out our fantasies or live out our dream -- and we have the energy now to DO that which others only talk or dream about; however we tend to feel scattered. As best as you can, slow down and listen to your intuition before aimlessly zooming ahead. Inspire yourself and others.\r\n\r\n<i>Most impacted by this aspect: those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 10-16 degrees of</i><b><i> Sagittarius, Pisces</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Gemini, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday early morning, </b><i>a Sun/Mercury alignment</i> <i>in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact at 7:27 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday evening on, and it will be strong until next week Tuesday evening. </b>This aspect indicates a confident mind and an analytical approach to life. Intelligence and communication abilities are strong at this time; however, we may not listen as well as the other speaks -- we might be too busy thinking about what to say next.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">Given that this alignment takes place in <strong>Aquarius</strong>, we may feel particularly cool and collected, and detached -- do your best to not to be arrogant or get stuck in rigid thinking.</span>\r\n\r\nWe want an active role in communications -- it\'s very hard for us to passively listen and absorb information right now. What we say or write now has impact, so as best as you can, choose your words wisely. If people hung on your every word, what would you say then? What would you hold back from saying?\r\n\r\nOur opinions are strong and our thinking independent -- and we\'re proud of both -- our egos may therefore get bruised if we don\'t feel \"heard\". As best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have a different opinion and that\'s ok.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 26-29 degrees of  </i><strong><i>Aquarius, Leo, Scorpio, Taurus, </i></strong><i>or</i><strong><i> </i></strong><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\">Pisces, Virgo, </b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo, Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday</b><b> afternoon, after 4:05pm EST</b>, is also the best time to set<i> our powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse Intentions</i>. Doing so during a Solar Eclipse is a little different from the regular monthly New Moon process: we are setting those intentions for the whole 6-month Eclipse cycle, rather than just for the next 28 days.\r\n\r\nSo when is the best time to do this? With a Solar Eclipse it is best to wait 48 hours after the Eclipse has been exact before setting any intentions; as always, we also want to avoid any <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> phases.\r\n\r\nThis gives us two \"windows\" for our 6-month intention-setting (all times are EST, which is the New York timezone):\r\n\r\nThe first window is on <b>Saturday, Feb. 17th, between 4:05pm and 5:14pm.</b>\r\n\r\nThe<b> </b>second would be <b>between 7:05am on Sunday, Feb. 18th, and 4:05pm the following day (Monday, Feb. 19th). </b>\r\n\r\nMake them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the <strong>Aquarian</strong> energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nThis Solar Eclipse reminds us that to be fully alive requires us to constantly stretch, grow, and change. So, while writing your intentions, ask yourself: What would it take for me to release old patterns from the past? How might that free me to create a more powerful vision for the future?\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday early evening,</b> <b>at 5:14 pm EST,</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 14 hours, <b>until 7:05 am EST (Sunday morning)</b>. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">Use this intuitive time to explore beliefs connected to past experiences that left you feeling disempowered.

You may also want to plan your Saturday evening and Sunday early morning ahead of time ;-) <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">(Moon trines Jupiter in <b>Scorpio</b>)</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Late Saturday evening at 11:28 pm EST </b><i>Mercury changes signs from freedom-loving, forward thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> to creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i>.</b> It will journey through Pisces until <b>March 6<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b>. We are moving from the mind into the heart. For these next two weeks, we get a chance to communicate with compassion -- we see the commonalities between us all, rather than what separates us.\r\n\r\nWe seem to be connected to Source more easily during this time -- if we allow that energy to come through -- and our thinking will be very creative, imaginative and intuitive.\r\n\r\nThe key with this energy is to remain in the “here and now” and open up to a higher vibration. If we can do that, we will be able to download information from an intuitive place, rather than thinking things through. This could also be the reason why our mind is slowing down a bit and why we speak more softly.\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> also offers us an opportunity to let go of any mental structures, conditionings or fears that are no longer serving us. If you are not connected to your intuition, you may want to double check with other people, before signing any documents or buying any big-ticket items. Are you ready to connect to your intuition more fully? Can you allow for the unfolding process, trusting your higher Self more fully?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>?

Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive.

We feel like sponges, able to pick up all energy around us; this also makes us more sensitive and emotional. We are more drawn towards expressing ourselves in a creative or spiritual way.\r\n\r\nMusic or energy healing gives us vitality and can heighten our own personal vibrations. We need to slow down a little and listen to our intuition more fully -- if we ignore our feelings and the subtle messages we are getting, we will most likely feel more anxious and somewhat frustrated. This could also be connected to the slow pace that our body or our surroundings are demanding of us.\r\n\r\nThe keyword here is \"allowing\": as best as you can, be aware of what you are resisting, moment to moment, and create some space -- allow it to be as it is.

As some of you already know, my online community has launched! I have been working on this for quite a while, and I am so excited that the day has finally come that I can introduce this to all of you! If you love Astrology, or simply want to explore yourself on a deeper level and live life more consciously, this community is for you. <b>Why join now? </b>\r\n\r\n<b>For the next four weeks</b> as I get the kinks worked out of my new membership site -- and as a huge thank you for being a part of my online community already -- I\'ll be offering a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\"><b>super-dooper special launch discount</b></a> on site membership. This is only for those of you who are already part of my mailing list or have joined me on my social media platforms.

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday</strong><b> afternoon</b>, our focus intensifies -- we might even get a little obsessed with a project or task -- as best as you can, take breaks and don\'t forget to practice a little self-care ;-) <em><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">(Moon in Capricorn conjunct Pluto in Capricorn 2:22 pm -- post at 12pm EST)</span></em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday evening,</strong> we get the opportunity to investigate our deepest motivations and align them with our long-term goals and achievements (if we are awake at this time, of course). We are capable of great focus for the next couple of hours. As with all opportunities in life, this one is not simply handed to us, we have to make something of it. Might deeper perspectives into your psyche move you closer to long-term goals? <em>(<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Moon in Capricorn sextiles Jupiter in Scorpio 6:42 pm -- post at 4:45pm EST)</span></em>\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday (Feb. 13<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> <i>the Moon remains in practical, </i><i>accomplishment-oriented</i><i> </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> <b>until 10:11am EST</b> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday very early morning,</b> <b>at 12:43am EST,</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for about 9.5 hours, <b>until 10:11am EST</b>.You may be aware of two seemingly conflicting desires: On the one hand, a need for serious, diligent accomplishment -- and on the other, a desire to break free and rebel against obligations.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take some breaks, and \"let your freak flag fly\" -- just for a moment -- and revel in it! As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your morning ahead of time ;-) <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">(Moon squares Uranus in <b>Aries</b>)</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday at 10:11 am EST</b> <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> where it will be <b>until Thursday evening</b>. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday early evening</b> a <i>challenging Mercury/Jupiter aspect</i> becomes exact at 5:39 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from</b> <b>Sunday and it will be strong until Thursday. </b>This aspect asks that we grow and evolve in the following areas: how we communicate our vision for the future and how much we share with others. We may have to find creative solutions to communicate; we may have to learn about our thinking process and conditioning.\r\n\r\nWe want to share ourselves without limitation. We are thus inclined to exaggeration, often unintended -- and might struggle to transform ideas into reality. The upside to all this: we can be extraordinarily funny, interesting and creative.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday </b><i>an opportune Sun/Uranus aspect</i><b> </b>becomes exact at 9:23pm EST. <b>We started to feel this aspect Sunday evening on, and it will be strong until Thursday night. </b>We have the opportunity to become aware of an original or unique approach to life. Flexibility is the key to success at this time; pleasant changes may be in store -- certainly unexpected ones ;-)\r\n\r\nWhat is your uniqueness? How could you express that proudly and authentically? As best as you can, watch out for messages from the Universe! Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us: We have to \"realize\" it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo</i></b><i> or</i><b><i> Aquarius </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday (Feb. 14<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> (Valentine’s Day) <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>all day</b> (see Tuesday late morning for details)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday morning</strong> is an opportunity to connect with others and explore actively the things that can bring us progress. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>(Moon in Aquarius sextiles Mars in Sagittarius 9:29am EST -- post at 7:30am EST)</em></span>\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday </b>is also the <i>last day before the Solar Eclipse in</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact. There is some potent energy coming our way; it would be wise to prepare ourselves to be transformed by it, allowing for our consciousness upgrade to be installed.\r\n\r\nThis is a good time to slow things down and go within. For many of us, this will be a stretch, as we want to do just the opposite: jump the gun, get started with something new, act impulsively, etc. This is quite common right before a Solar Eclipse. As best as you can, stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions and connect to your inner wisdom.\r\n\r\nIt comes down to this: just for now and just as best as you can... could you simply allow what is... to be? Could you simply be the “observer” until the upgrade is complete?\r\n\r\nRather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing things. Think back to late Aug. 2017 -- the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo. What did you start around then? How could you complete it, or move it to the next level?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take the days immediately before and after the Eclipse for meditation, contemplation, journaling — anything that supports an objective understanding of your own thoughts and visions.\r\n\r\nOf course if, like most of us, you have other obligations: take 5 minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, get quiet and be with yourself (i.e. your inspirational Self, your higher mind). Ask yourself: What might become possible if you gave this to yourself on a regular basis?\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday (Feb. 15<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>) </b>is a big day! <i>The Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>until 9:42pm EST</b> (see Tuesday late morning for details)\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday morning</b> an <i>opportune Mercury/Uranus aspect</i> becomes exact at 10:07am EST. <b>We started to feel this from aspect from Wednesday on, and it will be strong until Friday</b>.This is an opportunity to connect our thinking and communication to a brighter, more collaborative vision for the future.\r\n\r\nIt also brings an opportunity for insight, novelty and some really unusual conversations. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to realize it.\r\n\r\nThis aspect also brings an opportunity to view things from a different perspective, or put a new spin on \"old\" thinking. We like to connect in unusual ways; any group activities or brainstorming with like-minded people could generate amazing insights -- this might be a busy day. As best as you can, or want to... stay open to other dimensions ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> <i>(Mercury is the ruler of Virgo and Gemini; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\nOn <b>Thursday at 4:05pm EST, </b><i>a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse in 27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> becomes exact. </i>This is the beginning of both a new Moon cycle and an Eclipse cycle.  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\nEclipses take place approximately every 6 months; <i>Solar Eclipses</i> are extra-powerful New Moons that end one 19-year cycle and begin another — the last Solar Eclipse in this same degree of Aquarius was back on Feb. 16th, 1999. We are likely to experience a resonance between now and that time — \"resonant\", rather than identical — so think back to the Spring of 1999:\r\n\r\nWere there any major endings and beginnings? What was important back then? If there were a call this time to take those priorities to the next level… Where would that next level find you?\r\n\r\nIf you\'re looking for more guidance on those questions, I would suggest taking a look at your Natal Chart: the House placement of the Eclipse will indicate which area of life you\'re most ready to take to a new level of consciousness.\r\n\r\nIf that idea appeals, I suggest checking out my <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">30-minute class, \"How to Read My Birth Chart”</a> -- you might also want to purchase the video of the most recent <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">Forecasting Forum</a> -- we looked directly at our own birth charts to see how this Solar Eclipse will affect each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar, available <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">on my website</a>).\r\n\r\nOr...\r\n\r\n<b>Get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, <b>plus</b> a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\r\n\r\nAlthough we have experienced several Eclipses in the Leo/Aquarius polarity since last year, this will be the <i>first Solar Eclipse in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>. This points to a new beginning of some sort, with the visionary Aquarian energy impacting the area of life indicated by its house placement in our individual birth charts.\r\n\r\nSolar Eclipses reveal pathways that can take us to the next level of our evolution. They herald shifts in consciousness; the shift connected with this particular Eclipse will unfold over the next 6 months.\r\n\r\nThe Sun and Moon are connected to one of the Moon Nodes during an Eclipse; in this case, the South Node -- and <i>South Node Eclipses</i> can help us release energies or attachments that no longer serve our Soul’s evolution. Again, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">feel free to check out my webinar about the Eclipses</a> to see where this new beginning and next level of your Soul\'s evolution takes place for you.\r\n\r\nEclipses are Uranian in nature; as such, they are times of uncertainty -- so pretty much anything could happen <b>between now and the end of Eclipse season (Feb. 25th).</b>\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, stay both grounded <i>and</i> flexible — and don\'t jump the gun: If you feel compelled to do something, do your best to simply observe the urge. The exception might be something that happens organically -- but if you are ambivalent about a possible action, better hold off at least until the end of Eclipse Season (Feb. 25th).\r\n\r\nEclipses bring major endings and beginnings. As best you can, trust that whatever is leaving is making space for something better -- the more willing we are to change, the easier it will be.\r\n\r\nThat said, projects and interactions that got underway prior to Eclipse season (i.e. before Jan. 21st) are another matter -- don’t stop your life just because it is Eclipse season ;-) Pay attention also to anything that got started at the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo, in August of last year.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Do I have a better understanding of what brings me joy? Am I more courageous and self-expressed?\r\n\r\nWith the <i>Solar Eclipse</i> in <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>, we have our eye on the future. The highest vibration of Aquarius gives us the opportunity to see a clear vision for our life -- and we are ready to make huge improvements.\r\n\r\n<strong>Aquarius</strong> also deals with the power of ideals, technology, and inventions. We are interested in the collective focus on changing group consciousness; we strive for equality, collaboration, progress. This eclipse invites us to bring this higher vibration to our ability to be courageous and joyful in our own right.\r\n\r\n<i>South Node Eclipses</i> invite us to become aware of the lower vibrations of a sign, so we can release those energies or attachments that no longer serve our evolution, and move toward the higher vibration of the sign -- in this case, that would obviously be Aquarius -- so what do the lower Aquarian vibrations look and feel like?\r\n\r\nAt a lower <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, we feel like outsiders -- as though we don\'t fit in, are maybe a little <i>too</i> different. We want to rebel against social structures that don\'t fit with our vision.\r\n\r\nWe get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not take responsibility for our part in the collective, when we do not honor our individual genius, our unique contribution to society or our communities. Ask yourself:\r\n\r\nWhat stops me from connecting to my inner genius? What if I allowed myself to be both different <i>and</i> connected to others? What if taking responsibility for \"how things are\" was the perfect jump-start for a better future?\r\n\r\nTo move even further into that higher <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, try also asking yourself the following questions: Where am I called to make a difference? What could I, as an individual, do for humanity? And how might group consciousness help humanity make progress? Where can I begin?\r\n\r\nEvery single one of us has a special gift, a spark unique to us; when we access our inner genius and share it with the world, we can make quantum leaps of insight and embark on remarkable collaborations with others. Ask yourself: How does my inner genius communicate? Where does it want to show up?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) currently in <strong>Aries</strong>, sextiles the the Sun, Moon and Mercury in <strong>Aquarius</strong>. </i>This is a tremendous opportunity for all of us to become more aware of our individual impact on the collective: We are all agents of change. Already. Always.\r\n\r\nRight now, our individual capacity to effect change is far greater than we realize — especially for those of us with Uranus, Aquarius, or 11th house planets strongly emphasized in our birth chart — and when we team up with others who also care deeply about creating a better future, we can create real change.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How can I inspire others to foster progress? What becomes possible when we all connect with the intention to create meaningful change for everyone? For all living things?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong> squares the Solar Eclipse, sextiles Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, and trines Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong>. </i>This combo invites us to stretch ourselves for the duration of this Eclipse cycle -- to grow beyond what we currently know ourselves to be -- it supports our ability to build a more meaningful future and allows us to engage more fully in our current healing process.\r\n\r\nHere\'s a good start: We all have \"survival tactics\" we formed in response to past circumstances. Ask yourself: What if I expanded my awareness and comprehension of my personal survival tactics by just 5%? What might a new perspective on my fears and defenses show me? What if I relentlessly questioned old beliefs about intimate or financial partnerships? What might I discover about what has become true in the meantime? If I genuinely allowed this insight to change my behaviors and expectations, what might that look like?\r\n\r\nAs always when Chiron is involved, aim for wholeness, forgiveness — above all, keep a courageously open heart — our light shines all the brighter when all of our authentic self is visible, even the shadowy parts :-)\r\n\r\n<i>Eclipses</i> are a time for clarifying and affirming our highest path. We are bound to experience a release -- and a recalibration: “old” codes will get deleted and new programming downloaded. This is especially true when connected with our vision for the future (and for the collective).\r\n\r\nSuppressing or denying the unique gifts we each bring to the collective experience is even less wise than before; we are more aware than ever that we <b>are interconnected</b> and thus every single one of us contributes to the human experience and is capable of making a difference on this shared journey.\r\n\r\nSince Eclipse season continues until Feb. 25th, I highly recommend again that you treat yourself to the video of my most recent <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">Forecasting Forum</a> (<a href=\"https://goo.gl/uB8R7j\">https://goo.gl/uB8R7j</a>) -- we covered the Eclipses, including this Solar Eclipse in <b>Aquarius</b>, looking directly at our own birth charts to see how this affects each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">on my website</a>).\r\n\r\nOr...\r\n\r\nYou may recall that I now offer membership plans -- you could <b>get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, plus a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum, by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\r\n\r\n<b>Between now and Feb. 25th</b>, allow for the new templates to download; stay centered and do your best to ground from within. Try using conscious breathing, flexibility -- and best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body… And if nothing else, remember: this won\'t last forever -- in another two weeks, the downloads are complete ;-)  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">Again, I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in one of the following placements: 22-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, Scorpio, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly.</i>\r\n\r\nNow let’s talk “Intentions” :-) Regular readers will know that we usually use the time of the New Moon to set intentions for the coming month.\r\n\r\nWith a Solar Eclipse we want to <b>wait 48 hours before setting our intentions</b>. In Saturdays Forecast, I’ll be talking about setting some powerful intentions, not just for the next month as is usual for a New Moon, but for the next <i>six</i> months -- and I\'ll give you the very best times for setting them. <i></i>\r\n<i></i>\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Thursday late afternoon, at 4:05pm EST,</b> at the same time as the New Moon becomes exact, we also enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 6 hours, <b>until 9:42 pm EST</b>. Use this intuitive time to go within and meditate or pray/give thanks/converse with your higher Self.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your Thursday evening ahead of time ;-) <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">(Moon conjuncts Sun in Aquarius)</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday evening,  </b><i>an opportune Venus/Saturn aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:19 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday night and it will stay strong until Saturday. </b>This aspect gives us an opportunity to bring a sense of realism to our relationships, values, and financial affairs: We are more able to see what really needs to be dealt with in those areas and take responsibility for our handling of them.\r\n\r\nOn a financial level, we have an opportunity to see more clearly when and how we might make long-term investments. There\'s no need to rush anything; think it through carefully and responsibly -- do the \"due diligence\". Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us, we have to \"take\" it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 4-8 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>?

We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<b>Friday (Feb. 16<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>) </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <b>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday morning</strong>, <span style=\"color: #993300;\">we get an opportunity to be very present; also to focus on the  practical and our long-term plans.

We may be chasing a dream... or a fantasy.\r\n\r\nOrdinary life may seem drab and uninteresting to us right now. We tend to either over- or underestimate our own power and abilities. We want something that stirs our imagination: Some vision or ideal or dream to motivate us.\r\n\r\nWe have a strong urge to act out our fantasies or live out our dream -- and we have the energy now to DO that which others only talk or dream about; however we tend to feel scattered. As best as you can, slow down and listen to your intuition before aimlessly zooming ahead. Inspire yourself and others.\r\n\r\n<i>Most impacted by this aspect: those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 10-16 degrees of</i><b><i> Sagittarius, Pisces</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Gemini, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday early morning, </b><i>a Sun/Mercury alignment</i> <i>in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact at 7:27 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday evening on, and it will be strong until next week Tuesday evening. </b>This aspect indicates a confident mind and an analytical approach to life. Intelligence and communication abilities are strong at this time; however, we may not listen as well as the other speaks -- we might be too busy thinking about what to say next.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">Given that this alignment takes place in <strong>Aquarius</strong>, we may feel particularly cool and collected, and detached -- do your best to not to be arrogant or get stuck in rigid thinking.</span>\r\n\r\nWe want an active role in communications -- it\'s very hard for us to passively listen and absorb information right now. What we say or write now has impact, so as best as you can, choose your words wisely. If people hung on your every word, what would you say then? What would you hold back from saying?\r\n\r\nOur opinions are strong and our thinking independent -- and we\'re proud of both -- our egos may therefore get bruised if we don\'t feel \"heard\". As best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have a different opinion and that\'s ok.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 26-29 degrees of  </i><strong><i>Aquarius, Leo, Scorpio, Taurus, </i></strong><i>or</i><strong><i> </i></strong><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\">Pisces, Virgo, </b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo, Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday</b><b> afternoon, after 4:05pm EST</b>, is also the best time to set<i> our powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse Intentions</i>. Doing so during a Solar Eclipse is a little different from the regular monthly New Moon process: we are setting those intentions for the whole 6-month Eclipse cycle, rather than just for the next 28 days.\r\n\r\nSo when is the best time to do this? With a Solar Eclipse it is best to wait 48 hours after the Eclipse has been exact before setting any intentions; as always, we also want to avoid any <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> phases.\r\n\r\nThis gives us two \"windows\" for our 6-month intention-setting (all times are EST, which is the New York timezone):\r\n\r\nThe first window is on <b>Saturday, Feb. 17th, between 4:05pm and 5:14pm.</b>\r\n\r\nThe<b> </b>second would be <b>between 7:05am on Sunday, Feb. 18th, and 4:05pm the following day (Monday, Feb. 19th). </b>\r\n\r\nMake them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the <strong>Aquarian</strong> energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nThis Solar Eclipse reminds us that to be fully alive requires us to constantly stretch, grow, and change. So, while writing your intentions, ask yourself: What would it take for me to release old patterns from the past? How might that free me to create a more powerful vision for the future?\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday early evening,</b> <b>at 5:14 pm EST,</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 14 hours, <b>until 7:05 am EST (Sunday morning)</b>. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">Use this intuitive time to explore beliefs connected to past experiences that left you feeling disempowered. How could a compassionate approach to the past allow for a new perspective?</span>\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your Saturday evening and Sunday early morning ahead of time ;-) <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">(Moon trines Jupiter in <b>Scorpio</b>)</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Late Saturday evening at 11:28 pm EST </b><i>Mercury changes signs from freedom-loving, forward thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> to creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i>.</b> It will journey through Pisces until <b>March 6<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b>. We are moving from the mind into the heart. For these next two weeks, we get a chance to communicate with compassion -- we see the commonalities between us all, rather than what separates us.\r\n\r\nWe seem to be connected to Source more easily during this time -- if we allow that energy to come through -- and our thinking will be very creative, imaginative and intuitive.\r\n\r\nThe key with this energy is to remain in the “here and now” and open up to a higher vibration. If we can do that, we will be able to download information from an intuitive place, rather than thinking things through. This could also be the reason why our mind is slowing down a bit and why we speak more softly.\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> also offers us an opportunity to let go of any mental structures, conditionings or fears that are no longer serving us. If you are not connected to your intuition, you may want to double check with other people, before signing any documents or buying any big-ticket items. Are you ready to connect to your intuition more fully? Can you allow for the unfolding process, trusting your higher Self more fully?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more talkative during this time. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you may need to learn to surrender to a slower pace and connect more fully to your heart and intuition.  </i>\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday (Feb. 18<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>): </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><b> </b>and<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><b> until 7:05am EST.</b>\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday morning at 7:05 am EST </b><i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries,</i></b> where it will remain <b>until Tuesday afternoon</b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday afternoon at 12:18 pm</b> <i>the Sun moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> where it will remain <b>until March 20th. </b>This brings our awareness to our sense of oneness with everyone and everything around us. We feel like sponges, able to pick up all energy around us; this also makes us more sensitive and emotional. We are more drawn towards expressing ourselves in a creative or spiritual way.\r\n\r\nMusic or energy healing gives us vitality and can heighten our own personal vibrations. We need to slow down a little and listen to our intuition more fully -- if we ignore our feelings and the subtle messages we are getting, we will most likely feel more anxious and somewhat frustrated. This could also be connected to the slow pace that our body or our surroundings are demanding of us.\r\n\r\nThe keyword here is \"allowing\": as best as you can, be aware of what you are resisting, moment to moment, and create some space -- allow it to be as it is. Notice when you are sensing someone else\'s feelings rather than your own.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces </i></b><i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> your vitality will depend on allowing things to flow and being gentle with yourself.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>A heads up for next Monday (Feb. 19th): <em>The Moon remains in Aries </em>all day (see Sunday morning for details). </strong><em>Moon in <strong>Aries</strong> trines Mars in <strong>Sagittarius</strong> at 10:18am EST. Moon in <strong>Aries</strong> squares Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong> at 8:47pm EST. </em>More about all the details in next week’s forecast ;-)\r\n<h3><b>One Last Announcement:</b></h3>\r\nJoin me for my next FORECASTING FORUM, <b>Friday</b>, <b>March 2nd, 2018 at </b>12pm<b> </b>PST/<b> 3pm EST</b>/8pm GMT (London-time).<b> Please note </b>that we will be talking about the upcoming<b> Station </b>and<b> Retrograde phases in March: </b>Jupiter stations and goes retrograde in 23º of <b>Scorpio</b>, Mercury stations and goes retrograde in 17º of <b>Aries</b>.\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how to align yourself with these retrograde phases, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation. <a href=\"http://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">To register now, click here</a>\r\n\r\n<b>Here is a testimonial from one of our participants right after joining our most recent Forum:</b>\r\n<blockquote><i>“I truly enjoyed the webinar...  And I watched you to the end....

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday</strong><b> afternoon</b>, our focus intensifies -- we might even get a little obsessed with a project or task -- as best as you can, take breaks and don\'t forget to practice a little self-care ;-) <em><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">(Moon in Capricorn conjunct Pluto in Capricorn 2:22 pm -- post at 12pm EST)</span></em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday evening,</strong> we get the opportunity to investigate our deepest motivations and align them with our long-term goals and achievements (if we are awake at this time, of course). We are capable of great focus for the next couple of hours. As with all opportunities in life, this one is not simply handed to us, we have to make something of it. Might deeper perspectives into your psyche move you closer to long-term goals? <em>(<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Moon in Capricorn sextiles Jupiter in Scorpio 6:42 pm -- post at 4:45pm EST)</span></em>\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday (Feb. 13<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> <i>the Moon remains in practical, </i><i>accomplishment-oriented</i><i> </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> <b>until 10:11am EST</b> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday very early morning,</b> <b>at 12:43am EST,</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for about 9.5 hours, <b>until 10:11am EST</b>.You may be aware of two seemingly conflicting desires: On the one hand, a need for serious, diligent accomplishment -- and on the other, a desire to break free and rebel against obligations.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take some breaks, and \"let your freak flag fly\" -- just for a moment -- and revel in it! As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your morning ahead of time ;-) <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">(Moon squares Uranus in <b>Aries</b>)</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday at 10:11 am EST</b> <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> where it will be <b>until Thursday evening</b>. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday early evening</b> a <i>challenging Mercury/Jupiter aspect</i> becomes exact at 5:39 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from</b> <b>Sunday and it will be strong until Thursday. </b>This aspect asks that we grow and evolve in the following areas: how we communicate our vision for the future and how much we share with others. We may have to find creative solutions to communicate; we may have to learn about our thinking process and conditioning.\r\n\r\nWe want to share ourselves without limitation. We are thus inclined to exaggeration, often unintended -- and might struggle to transform ideas into reality. The upside to all this: we can be extraordinarily funny, interesting and creative.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday </b><i>an opportune Sun/Uranus aspect</i><b> </b>becomes exact at 9:23pm EST. <b>We started to feel this aspect Sunday evening on, and it will be strong until Thursday night. </b>We have the opportunity to become aware of an original or unique approach to life. Flexibility is the key to success at this time; pleasant changes may be in store -- certainly unexpected ones ;-)\r\n\r\nWhat is your uniqueness? How could you express that proudly and authentically? As best as you can, watch out for messages from the Universe! Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us: We have to \"realize\" it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo</i></b><i> or</i><b><i> Aquarius </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday (Feb. 14<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> (Valentine’s Day) <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>all day</b> (see Tuesday late morning for details)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday morning</strong> is an opportunity to connect with others and explore actively the things that can bring us progress. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>(Moon in Aquarius sextiles Mars in Sagittarius 9:29am EST -- post at 7:30am EST)</em></span>\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday </b>is also the <i>last day before the Solar Eclipse in</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact. There is some potent energy coming our way; it would be wise to prepare ourselves to be transformed by it, allowing for our consciousness upgrade to be installed.\r\n\r\nThis is a good time to slow things down and go within. For many of us, this will be a stretch, as we want to do just the opposite: jump the gun, get started with something new, act impulsively, etc. This is quite common right before a Solar Eclipse. As best as you can, stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions and connect to your inner wisdom.\r\n\r\nIt comes down to this: just for now and just as best as you can... could you simply allow what is... to be? Could you simply be the “observer” until the upgrade is complete?\r\n\r\nRather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing things. Think back to late Aug. 2017 -- the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo. What did you start around then? How could you complete it, or move it to the next level?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take the days immediately before and after the Eclipse for meditation, contemplation, journaling — anything that supports an objective understanding of your own thoughts and visions.\r\n\r\nOf course if, like most of us, you have other obligations: take 5-minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, get quiet and be with yourself (i.e. your inspirational Self, your higher mind). Ask yourself: What might become possible if you gave this to yourself on a regular basis?\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday (Feb. 15<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>) </b>is a big day! <i>The Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>until 9:42pm EST</b> (see Tuesday late morning for details)\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday morning</b> an <i>opportune Mercury/Uranus aspect</i> becomes exact at 10:07am EST. <b>We started to feel this from aspect from Wednesday on, and it will be strong until Friday</b>.This is an opportunity to connect our thinking and communication to a brighter, more collaborative vision for the future.\r\n\r\nIt also brings an opportunity for insight, novelty, and some really unusual conversations. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to realize it.\r\n\r\nThis aspect also brings an opportunity to view things from a different perspective or put a new spin on \"old\" thinking. We like to connect in unusual ways; any group activities or brainstorming with like-minded people could generate amazing insights -- this might be a busy day. As best as you can, or want to... stay open to other dimensions ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> <i>(Mercury is the ruler of Virgo and Gemini; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\nOn <b>Thursday at 4:05pm EST, </b><i>a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse in 27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> becomes exact. </i>This is the beginning of both a new Moon cycle and an Eclipse cycle.  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\nEclipses take place approximately every 6 months; <i>Solar Eclipses</i> are extra-powerful New Moons that end one 19-year cycle and begin another — the last Solar Eclipse in this same degree of Aquarius was back on Feb. 16th, 1999. We are likely to experience a resonance between now and that time — \"resonant\", rather than identical — so think back to the Spring of 1999:\r\n\r\nWere there any major endings and beginnings? What was important back then? If there were a call this time to take those priorities to the next level… Where would that next level find you?\r\n\r\nIf you\'re looking for more guidance on those questions, I would suggest taking a look at your Natal Chart: the House placement of the Eclipse will indicate which area of life is the readiest for a new level of consciousness.\r\n\r\nIf that idea appeals, I suggest checking out my <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">30-minute class, \"How to Read My Birth Chart”</a> -- you might also want to purchase the video of the most recent <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">Forecasting Forum</a> -- we looked directly at our own birth charts to see how this Solar Eclipse will affect each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar, available <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">on my website</a>).\r\n\r\nOr...\r\n\r\n<b>Get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, <b>plus</b> a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\r\n\r\nAlthough we have experienced several Eclipses in the Leo/Aquarius polarity since last year, this will be the <i>first Solar Eclipse in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>. This points to a new beginning of some sort, with the visionary Aquarian energy impacting the area of life indicated by its house placement in our individual birth charts.\r\n\r\nSolar Eclipses reveal pathways that can take us to the next level of our evolution. They herald shifts in consciousness; the shift connected with this particular Eclipse will unfold over the next 6 months.\r\n\r\nThe Sun and Moon are connected to one of the Moon Nodes during an Eclipse; in this case, the South Node -- and <i>South Node Eclipses</i> can help us release energies or attachments that no longer serve our Soul’s evolution. Again, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">feel free to check out my webinar about the Eclipses</a> to see where this new beginning and next level of your Soul\'s evolution takes place for you.\r\n\r\nEclipses are Uranian in nature; as such, they are times of uncertainty -- so pretty much anything could happen <b>between now and the end of Eclipse season (Feb. 25th).</b>\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, stay both grounded <i>and</i> flexible — and don\'t jump the gun: If you feel compelled to do something, do your best to simply observe the urge. The exception might be something that happens organically -- but if you are ambivalent about a possible action, better hold off at least until the end of Eclipse Season (Feb. 25th).\r\n\r\nEclipses bring major endings and beginnings. As best you can, trust that whatever is leaving is making space for something better -- the more willing we are to change, the easier it will be.\r\n\r\nThat said, projects and interactions that got underway prior to Eclipse season (i.e. before Jan. 21st) are another matter -- don’t stop your life just because it is Eclipse season ;-) Pay attention also to anything that got started at the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo, in August of last year.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Do I have a better understanding of what brings me joy? Am I more courageous and self-expressed?\r\n\r\nWith the <i>Solar Eclipse</i> in <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>, we have our eye on the future. The highest vibration of Aquarius gives us the opportunity to see a clear vision for our life -- and we are ready to make huge improvements.\r\n\r\n<strong>Aquarius</strong> also deals with the power of ideals, technology, and inventions. We are interested in the collective focus on changing group consciousness; we strive for equality, collaboration, progress. This eclipse invites us to bring this higher vibration to our ability to be courageous and joyful in our own right.\r\n\r\n<i>South Node Eclipses</i> invite us to become aware of the lower vibrations of a sign, so we can release those energies or attachments that no longer serve our evolution, and move toward the higher vibration of the sign -- in this case, that would obviously be Aquarius -- so what do the lower Aquarian vibrations look and feel like?\r\n\r\nAt a lower <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, we feel like outsiders -- as though we don\'t fit in, are maybe a little <i>too</i> different. We want to rebel against social structures that don\'t fit with our vision.\r\n\r\nWe get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not take responsibility for our part in the collective -- when we do not honor our individual genius, our unique contribution to society or our communities. Ask yourself:\r\n\r\nWhat stops me from connecting to my inner genius? What if I allowed myself to be both different <i>and</i> connected to others? What if taking responsibility for \"how things are\" was the perfect jump-start for a better future?\r\n\r\nTo move even further into that higher <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, try also asking yourself the following questions: Where am I called to make a difference? What could I, as an individual, do for humanity? And how might group consciousness help humanity make progress? Where can I begin?\r\n\r\nEvery single one of us has a special gift, a spark unique to us; when we access our inner genius and share it with the world, we can make quantum leaps of insight and embark on remarkable collaborations with others. Ask yourself: How does my inner genius communicate? Where does it want to show up?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) currently in <strong>Aries</strong>, sextiles the Sun, Moon, and Mercury in <strong>Aquarius</strong>. </i>This is a tremendous opportunity for all of us to become more aware of our individual impact on the collective: We are all agents of change. Already. Always.\r\n\r\nRight now, our individual capacity to effect change is far greater than we realize — especially for those of us with Uranus, Aquarius, or 11th house planets strongly emphasized in our birth chart — and when we team up with others who also care deeply about creating a better future, we can create real change.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How can I inspire others to foster progress? What becomes possible when we all connect with the intention to create meaningful change for everyone? For all living things?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong> squares the Solar Eclipse, sextiles Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, and trines Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong>. </i>This combo invites us to stretch ourselves for the duration of this Eclipse cycle -- to grow beyond what we currently know ourselves to be -- it supports our ability to build a more meaningful future and allows us to engage more fully in our current healing process.\r\n\r\nHere\'s a good start: We all have \"survival tactics\" we formed in response to past circumstances. Ask yourself: What if I expanded my awareness and comprehension of my personal survival tactics by just 5%? What might a new perspective on my fears and defenses show me? What if I relentlessly questioned old beliefs about intimate or financial partnerships? What might I discover about what has become true in the meantime? If I genuinely allowed this insight to change my behaviors and expectations, what might that look like?\r\n\r\nAs always when Chiron is involved, aim for wholeness, forgiveness — above all, keep a courageously open heart — our light shines all the brighter when all of our authentic self is visible, even the shadowy parts :-)\r\n\r\n<i>Eclipses</i> are a time for clarifying and affirming our highest path. We are bound to experience a release -- and a recalibration: “old” codes will get deleted and new programming downloaded. This is especially true when connected with our vision for the future (and for the collective).\r\n\r\nSuppressing or denying the unique gifts we each bring to the collective experience is even less wise than before; we are more aware than ever that we <b>are interconnected</b> and thus every single one of us contributes to the human experience and is capable of making a difference on this shared journey.\r\n\r\nSince Eclipse season continues until Feb. 25th, I highly recommend again that you treat yourself to the video of my most recent <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">Forecasting Forum</a> (<a href=\"https://goo.gl/uB8R7j\">https://goo.gl/uB8R7j</a>) -- we covered the Eclipses, including this Solar Eclipse in <b>Aquarius</b>, looking directly at our own birth charts to see how this affects each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">on my website</a>).\r\n\r\nOr...\r\n\r\nYou may recall that I now offer membership plans -- you could <b>get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, plus a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum, by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\r\n\r\n<b>Between now and Feb. 25th</b>, allow for the new templates to download; stay centered and do your best to ground from within. Try using conscious breathing, flexibility -- and best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body… And if nothing else, remember: this won\'t last forever -- in another two weeks, the downloads are complete ;-)  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">Again, I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in one of the following placements: 22-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, Scorpio, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly.</i>\r\n\r\nNow let’s talk “Intentions” :-) Regular readers will know that we usually use the time of the New Moon to set intentions for the coming month.\r\n\r\nWith a Solar Eclipse, we want to <b>wait 48 hours before setting our intentions </b>-- in Saturdays Forecast, I’ll be talking about setting some powerful intentions, not just for the next month as is usual for a New Moon, but for the next <i>six</i> months -- and I\'ll give you the very best times for setting them. <i></i>\r\n<i></i>\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Thursday late afternoon, at 4:05pm EST,</b> at the same time as the New Moon becomes exact, we also enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 6 hours, <b>until 9:42 pm EST</b>. Use this intuitive time to go within and meditate or pray/give thanks/converse with your higher Self.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your Thursday evening ahead of time ;-) <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">(Moon conjuncts Sun in Aquarius)</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday evening,  </b><i>an opportune Venus/Saturn aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:19 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday night and it will stay strong until Saturday. </b>This aspect gives us an opportunity to bring a sense of realism to our relationships, values, and financial affairs: We are more able to see what really needs to be dealt with in those areas and take responsibility for our handling of them.\r\n\r\nOn a financial level, we have an opportunity to see more clearly when and how we might make long-term investments. There\'s no need to rush anything; think it through carefully and responsibly -- do the \"due diligence\". Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us, we have to \"take\" it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 4-8 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)</i>.\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday evening at 9:42 pm EST,</b> <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces,</i></b><i> </i>where it will journey <b>until Sunday morning</b>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<b>Friday (Feb. 16<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>) </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <b>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday morning</strong>, we get an opportunity to be wholly present -- and also to focus on practicalities and long-term plans. As best as you can, bring a sense of flow and faith to your business dealings. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>(Moon in Pisces sextiles Saturn in Capricorn 9:58 am -- post at 8am EST)</em></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning</strong>, we have a chance to connect with other people from our compassionate heart. If we heed intuition and allow for all things to flow freely, we may discover that the Universe is always taking care of us ;-) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>(Moon in Pisces conjunct Venus in Pisces 11:36 am -- post at 9:30am EST)</em></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late evening,</strong> we feel a need to go within and slow down -- and at the same time, we also want to move fast and have new experiences. This tension clearly invites us to stretch a little, and to seek resolution via creative solutions -- the key here is to listen to our intuition, so we don\'t drive ourselves or others crazy. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>(Moon in Pisces squares Mars in Sagittarius 11:11 pm -- 9pm EST)</em></span>\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Friday late evening,</strong> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>(Moon in Pisces conjunct Neptune in Pisces 11:31 pm -- post at 9:30pm EST)</em></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday</strong> is also Chinese New Year. I am not very well-versed in Chinese astrology, so I\'ll just share an excerpt from a newsletter I received last week: \"Today is the start of the Chinese year of the Earth Dog. In Chinese tradition, Earth dogs are faithful, considerate and well-disciplined.\" -- Astro Butterfly\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday (Feb. 17<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>): </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday morning,</b> <i>a challenging Mars/Neptune aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:20 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Sunday evening and it will be strong until next week Thursday morning</b>. This aspect is asking us to stretch ourselves, in order to resolve a tension between the things we want to go after, versus our feelings about a higher, spiritual calling. We may be chasing a dream... or a fantasy.\r\n\r\nOrdinary life may seem drab and uninteresting to us right now. We tend to either over- or underestimate our own power and abilities. We want something that stirs our imagination: Some vision or ideal or dream to motivate us.\r\n\r\nWe have a strong urge to act out our fantasies or live out our dream -- and we have the energy now to DO that which others only talk or dream about -- but we tend to feel scattered. As best as you can, slow down and listen to your intuition before aimlessly zooming ahead. Inspire yourself and others.\r\n\r\n<i>Most impacted by this aspect: those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 10-16 degrees of</i><b><i> Sagittarius, Pisces</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Gemini, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday early morning, </b><i>a Sun/Mercury alignment</i> <i>in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact at 7:27 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday evening on, and it will be strong until next week Tuesday evening. </b>This aspect indicates a confident mind and an analytical approach to life. Intelligence and communication abilities are strong at this time; however, we may not listen as well as the other speaks -- we might be too busy thinking about what to say next.\r\n\r\nGiven that this alignment takes place in <strong>Aquarius</strong>, we may feel particularly cool and collected, detached even -- do your best to avoid arrogance or rigidity of thought.\r\n\r\nWe want an active role in communications -- it\'s very hard for us to passively listen and absorb information right now. What we say or write now is impactful, so choose your words wisely: If people hung on your every word, what would you say then? What would you hold back from saying?\r\n\r\nOur opinions are strong and our thinking independent -- and we\'re proud of both -- so our egos may get bruised if we don\'t feel \"heard\". As best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have a different opinion and that\'s ok.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 26-29 degrees of  </i><strong><i>Aquarius, Leo, Scorpio, Taurus, </i></strong><i>or</i><strong><i> </i></strong><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\">Pisces, Virgo, </b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo, Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday</b><b> afternoon (after 4:05pm EST)</b> is also the best time to set<i> our powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse Intentions</i>. Doing so during a Solar Eclipse is a little different from the regular monthly New Moon process: we are setting those intentions for the whole 6-month Eclipse cycle, rather than just for the next 28 days.\r\n\r\nSo when is the best time to do this? With a Solar Eclipse it is best to wait 48 hours after the Eclipse has been exact before setting any intentions; as always, we also want to avoid any <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> phases.\r\n\r\nThis gives us two \"windows\" for our 6-month intention-setting (all times are EST, which is the New York timezone):\r\n\r\nThe first window is on <b>Saturday, Feb. 17th, between 4:05pm and 5:14pm.</b>\r\n\r\nThe<b> </b>second would be <b>between 7:05am on Sunday, Feb. 18th, and 4:05pm the following day (Monday, Feb. 19th). </b>\r\n\r\nMake them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the <strong>Aquarian</strong> energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nThis Solar Eclipse reminds us that to be fully alive requires us to constantly stretch, grow, and change. So, while writing your intentions, ask yourself: What would it take for me to release old patterns from the past? How might that free me to create a more powerful vision for the future?\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday early evening,</b> <b>at 5:14 pm EST,</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 14 hours, <b>until 7:05 am EST (Sunday morning)</b>. Use this intuitive time to explore any beliefs connected to past experiences that left you feeling disempowered: How could a compassionate approach to the past allow for a new perspective?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your Saturday evening and Sunday early morning ahead of time ;-) <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">(Moon trines Jupiter in <b>Scorpio</b>)</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Late Saturday evening at 11:28 pm EST </b><i>Mercury changes signs from freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> to creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i>.</b> It will journey through Pisces until <b>March 6<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b>. We are moving from the mind into the heart. For these next two weeks, we get a chance to communicate with compassion -- we see the commonalities between us all, rather than what separates us.\r\n\r\nWe seem to be connected to Source more easily during this time -- if we allow that energy to come through -- and our thinking will be very creative, imaginative and intuitive.\r\n\r\nThe key with this energy is to remain in the “here and now” and open up to a higher vibration. If we can do that, we will be able to download information from an intuitive place, rather than thinking things through. This could also be the reason why our mind is slowing down a bit and why we speak more softly.\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> also offers us an opportunity to let go of any mental structures, conditionings or fears that are no longer serving us. If you are not connected to your intuition, you may want to double check with other people, before signing any documents or buying any big-ticket items. Are you ready to connect to your intuition more fully? Can you allow for the unfolding process, trusting your higher Self more fully?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more talkative during this time. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>?

Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday afternoon at 12:18 pm</b> <i>the Sun moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> where it will remain <b>until March 20th. </b>This brings our awareness to our sense of oneness with everyone and everything around us. We feel like sponges, able to pick up all energy around us; this also makes us more sensitive and emotional. We are more drawn towards expressing ourselves in a creative or spiritual way.\r\n\r\nMusic or energy healing gives us vitality and can heighten our own personal vibrations. We need to slow down a little and listen to our intuition more fully -- if we ignore our feelings and the subtle messages we are getting, we will most likely feel more anxious and somewhat frustrated. This could also be connected to the slow pace that our body or our surroundings are demanding of us.\r\n\r\nThe keyword here is \"allowing\": as best as you can, be aware of what you are resisting, moment to moment, and create some space -- allow it to be as it is. Notice when you are picking up someone else\'s feelings rather than your own.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces </i></b><i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign.

After all, all is well, no matter what the mind keeps saying about it. I could definitely feel the Eclipse energies... and self-care was soooo very needed.\n\n<b>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have an important announcement:\n</b>Good news! As some of you already know, my online community has launched! I have been working on this for quite a while, and I am so excited that the day has finally come that I can introduce this to all of you! If you love Astrology, or simply want to explore yourself on a deeper level and live life more consciously, this community is for you. <b>Why join now? </b>\n\n<b>For the next four weeks</b> as I get the kinks worked out of my new membership site -- and as a huge thank you for being a part of my online community already -- I\'ll be offering a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\"><b>super-dooper special launch discount</b></a> on site membership. This is only for those of you who are already part of my mailing list or have joined me on my social media platforms. For more info about the new online community and it\'s benefits, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/aEhibk\">click here</a>\n\n<strong>It get’s better:</strong> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\">join the Star or SuperStar Membership</a> <strong>before Feb. 25th</strong>, you will also receive my latest Forecasting Forum — about the Eclipses and how they impact you personally — for FREE ;-)\n\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: A very powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse in Aquarius becomes exact on Thursday late afternoon; Mercury changes signs from Aquarius to Pisces on Saturday late evening — and the Sun follows suit on Sunday around noon.\n\nThere will be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC Phases</a> this week: Monday night/Tuesday very early morning (for 9.5 hours), Thursday afternoon (for almost 6 hours), and Saturday early evening until Sunday morning (for almost 14 hours).\n\n<b>Monday (February 12<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> <i>the Moon remains in </i><i>practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> <b>all day. </b>It will journey there <b>until Tuesday late morning. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.<!--more-->\n\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\n\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\n\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\n\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\n\n<strong>Monday</strong><b> afternoon</b>, our focus intensifies -- we might even get a little obsessed with a project or task -- as best as you can, take breaks and don\'t forget to practice a little self-care ;-)\n\n<strong>Monday evening,</strong> we get the opportunity to investigate our deepest motivations and align them with our long-term goals and achievements (if we are awake at this time, of course). We are capable of great focus for the next couple of hours. As with all opportunities in life, this one is not simply handed to us, we have to make something of it. Might deeper perspectives into your psyche move you closer to long-term goals?\n\n<b>Tuesday (Feb. 13<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> <i>the Moon remains in practical, </i><i>accomplishment-oriented</i><i> </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> <b>until 10:11am EST</b> (see Monday for details).\n\n<b>Tuesday very early morning,</b> <b>at 12:43am EST,</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for about 9.5 hours, <b>until 10:11am EST</b>.You may be aware of two seemingly conflicting desires: On the one hand, a need for serious, diligent accomplishment -- and on the other, a desire to break free and rebel against obligations.\n\nAs best as you can, take some breaks, and \"let your freak flag fly\" -- just for a moment -- and revel in it! As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your morning ahead of time ;-)\n\n<b>Tuesday at 10:11 am EST</b> <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> where it will be <b>until Thursday evening</b>. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\n\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\n\n<b>Tuesday early evening</b> a <i>challenging Mercury/Jupiter aspect</i> becomes exact at 5:39 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from</b> <b>Sunday and it will be strong until Thursday. </b>This aspect asks that we grow and evolve in the following areas: how we communicate our vision for the future and how much we share with others. We may have to find creative solutions to communicate; we may have to learn about our thinking process and conditioning.\n\nWe want to share ourselves without limitation. We are thus inclined to exaggeration, often unintended -- and might struggle to transform ideas into reality. The upside to all this: we can be extraordinarily funny, interesting and creative.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\n\n<b>Tuesday </b><i>an opportune Sun/Uranus aspect</i><b> </b>becomes exact at 9:23pm EST. <b>We started to feel this aspect Sunday evening on, and it will be strong until Thursday night. </b>We have the opportunity to become aware of an original or unique approach to life. Flexibility is the key to success at this time; pleasant changes may be in store -- certainly unexpected ones ;-)\n\nWhat is your uniqueness? How could you express that proudly and authentically? As best as you can, watch out for messages from the Universe! Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us: We have to \"realize\" it.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo</i></b><i> or</i><b><i> Aquarius </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius)</i>\n\n<b>Wednesday (Feb. 14<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> (Valentine’s Day) <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>all day</b> (see Tuesday late morning for details)\n\n<strong>Wednesday morning</strong> is an opportunity to connect with others and explore actively the things that can bring us progress.\n\n<b>Wednesday </b>is also the <i>last day before the Solar Eclipse in</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact. There is some potent energy coming our way; it would be wise to prepare ourselves to be transformed by it, allowing for our consciousness upgrade to be installed.\n\nThis is a good time to slow things down and go within. For many of us, this will be a stretch, as we want to do just the opposite: jump the gun, get started with something new, act impulsively, etc. This is quite common right before a Solar Eclipse. As best as you can, stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions and connect to your inner wisdom.\n\nIt comes down to this: just for now and just as best as you can... could you simply allow what is... to be? Could you simply be the “observer” until the upgrade is complete?\n\nRather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing things. Think back to late Aug. 2017 -- the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo. What did you start around then? How could you complete it, or move it to the next level?\n\nAs best as you can, take the days immediately before and after the Eclipse for meditation, contemplation, journaling — anything that supports an objective understanding of your own thoughts and visions.\n\nOf course if, like most of us, you have other obligations: take 5-minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, get quiet and be with yourself (i.e. your inspirational Self, your higher mind). Ask yourself: What might become possible if you gave this to yourself on a regular basis?\n\n<b>Thursday (Feb. 15<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>) </b>is a big day! <i>The Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>until 9:42pm EST</b> (see Tuesday late morning for details)\n\n<b>Thursday morning</b> an <i>opportune Mercury/Uranus aspect</i> becomes exact at 10:07am EST. <b>We started to feel this from aspect from Wednesday on, and it will be strong until Friday</b>.This is an opportunity to connect our thinking and communication to a brighter, more collaborative vision for the future.\n\nIt also brings an opportunity for insight, novelty, and some really unusual conversations. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to realize it.\n\nThis aspect also brings an opportunity to view things from a different perspective or put a new spin on \"old\" thinking. We like to connect in unusual ways; any group activities or brainstorming with like-minded people could generate amazing insights -- this might be a busy day. As best as you can, or want to... stay open to other dimensions ;-)\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> <i>(Mercury is the ruler of Virgo and Gemini; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius)</i>\n\nOn <b>Thursday at 4:05pm EST, </b><i>a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse in 27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> becomes exact. </i>This is the beginning of both a new Moon cycle and an Eclipse cycle.  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\n\nEclipses take place approximately every 6 months; <i>Solar Eclipses</i> are extra-powerful New Moons that end one 19-year cycle and begin another — the last Solar Eclipse in this same degree of Aquarius was back on Feb. 16th, 1999. We are likely to experience a resonance between now and that time — \"resonant\", rather than identical — so think back to the Spring of 1999:\n\nWere there any major endings and beginnings? What was important back then? If there were a call this time to take those priorities to the next level… Where would that next level find you?\n\nIf you\'re looking for more guidance on those questions, I would suggest taking a look at your Natal Chart: the House placement of the Eclipse will indicate which area of life is the readiest for a new level of consciousness.\n\nIf that idea appeals, I suggest checking out my <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">30-minute class, \"How to Read My Birth Chart”</a> -- you might also want to purchase the video of the most recent Forecasting Forum -- we looked directly at our own birth charts to see how this Solar Eclipse will affect each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar, available on my website).\n\nOr...\n\n<b>Get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, <b>plus</b> a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\n\nAlthough we have experienced several Eclipses in the Leo/Aquarius polarity since last year, this will be the <i>first Solar Eclipse in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>. This points to a new beginning of some sort, with the visionary Aquarian energy impacting the area of life indicated by its house placement in our individual birth charts.\n\nSolar Eclipses reveal pathways that can take us to the next level of our evolution. They herald shifts in consciousness; the shift connected with this particular Eclipse will unfold over the next 6 months.\n\nThe Sun and Moon are connected to one of the Moon Nodes during an Eclipse; in this case, the South Node -- and <i>South Node Eclipses</i> can help us release energies or attachments that no longer serve our Soul’s evolution. Again, feel free to check out my webinar about the Eclipses to see where this new beginning and next level of your Soul\'s evolution takes place for you.\n\nEclipses are Uranian in nature; as such, they are times of uncertainty -- so pretty much anything could happen <b>between now and the end of Eclipse season (Feb. 25th).</b>\n\nAs best as you can, stay both grounded <i>and</i> flexible — and don\'t jump the gun: If you feel compelled to do something, do your best to simply observe the urge. The exception might be something that happens organically -- but if you are ambivalent about a possible action, better hold off at least until the end of Eclipse Season (Feb. 25th).\n\nEclipses bring major endings and beginnings. As best you can, trust that whatever is leaving is making space for something better -- the more willing we are to change, the easier it will be.\n\nThat said, projects and interactions that got underway prior to Eclipse season (i.e. before Jan. 21st) are another matter -- don’t stop your life just because it is Eclipse season ;-) Pay attention also to anything that got started at the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo, in August of last year.\n\nAsk yourself: Do I have a better understanding of what brings me joy? Am I more courageous and self-expressed?\n\nWith the <i>Solar Eclipse</i> in <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>, we have our eye on the future. The highest vibration of Aquarius gives us the opportunity to see a clear vision for our life -- and we are ready to make huge improvements.\n\n<strong>Aquarius</strong> also deals with the power of ideals, technology, and inventions. We are interested in the collective focus on changing group consciousness; we strive for equality, collaboration, progress. This eclipse invites us to bring this higher vibration to our ability to be courageous and joyful in our own right.\n\n<i>South Node Eclipses</i> invite us to become aware of the lower vibrations of a sign, so we can release those energies or attachments that no longer serve our evolution, and move toward the higher vibration of the sign -- in this case, that would obviously be Aquarius -- so what do the lower Aquarian vibrations look and feel like?\n\nAt a lower <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, we feel like outsiders -- as though we don\'t fit in, are maybe a little <i>too</i> different. We want to rebel against social structures that don\'t fit with our vision.\n\nWe get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not take responsibility for our part in the collective -- when we do not honor our individual genius, our unique contribution to society or our communities. Ask yourself:\n\nWhat stops me from connecting to my inner genius? What if I allowed myself to be both different <i>and</i> connected to others? What if taking responsibility for \"how things are\" was the perfect jump-start for a better future?\n\nTo move even further into that higher <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, try also asking yourself the following questions: Where am I called to make a difference? What could I, as an individual, do for humanity? And how might group consciousness help humanity make progress? Where can I begin?\n\nEvery single one of us has a special gift, a spark unique to us; when we access our inner genius and share it with the world, we can make quantum leaps of insight and embark on remarkable collaborations with others. Ask yourself: How does my inner genius communicate? Where does it want to show up?\n\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) currently in <strong>Aries</strong>, sextiles the Sun, Moon, and Mercury in <strong>Aquarius</strong>. </i>This is a tremendous opportunity for all of us to become more aware of our individual impact on the collective: We are all agents of change. Already. Always.\n\nRight now, our individual capacity to effect change is far greater than we realize — especially for those of us with Uranus, Aquarius, or 11th house planets strongly emphasized in our birth chart — and when we team up with others who also care deeply about creating a better future, we can create real change.\n\nAsk yourself: How can I inspire others to foster progress? What becomes possible when we all connect with the intention to create meaningful change for everyone? For all living things?\n\n<i>Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong> squares the Solar Eclipse, sextiles Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, and trines Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong>. </i>This combo invites us to stretch ourselves for the duration of this Eclipse cycle -- to grow beyond what we currently know ourselves to be -- it supports our ability to build a more meaningful future and allows us to engage more fully in our current healing process.\n\nHere\'s a good start: We all have \"survival tactics\" we formed in response to past circumstances. Ask yourself: What if I expanded my awareness and comprehension of my personal survival tactics by just 5%? What might a new perspective on my fears and defenses show me? What if I relentlessly questioned old beliefs about intimate or financial partnerships? What might I discover about what has become true in the meantime? If I genuinely allowed this insight to change my behaviors and expectations, what might that look like?\n\nAs always when Chiron is involved, aim for wholeness, forgiveness — above all, keep a courageously open heart — our light shines all the brighter when all of our authentic self is visible, even the shadowy parts :-)\n\n<i>Eclipses</i> are a time for clarifying and affirming our highest path. We are bound to experience a release -- and a recalibration: “old” codes will get deleted and new programming downloaded. This is especially true when connected with our vision for the future (and for the collective).\n\nSuppressing or denying the unique gifts we each bring to the collective experience is even less wise than before; we are more aware than ever that we <b>are interconnected</b> and thus every single one of us contributes to the human experience and is capable of making a difference on this shared journey.\n\nSince Eclipse season continues until Feb. 25th, I highly recommend again that you treat yourself to the video of my most recent Forecasting Forum -- we covered the Eclipses, including this Solar Eclipse in <b>Aquarius</b>, looking directly at our own birth charts to see how this affects each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar on my website).\n\nOr...\n\nYou may recall that I now offer membership plans -- you could <b>get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, plus a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum, by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\n\n<b>Between now and Feb. 25th</b>, allow for the new templates to download; stay centered and do your best to ground from within. Try using conscious breathing, flexibility -- and best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body… And if nothing else, remember: this won\'t last forever -- in another two weeks, the downloads are complete ;-)  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">Again, I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in one of the following placements: 22-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, Scorpio, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly.</i>\n\nNow let’s talk “Intentions” :-) Regular readers will know that we usually use the time of the New Moon to set intentions for the coming month.\n\nWith a Solar Eclipse, we want to <b>wait 48 hours before setting our intentions </b>-- in Saturdays Forecast, I’ll be talking about setting some powerful intentions, not just for the next month as is usual for a New Moon, but for the next <i>six</i> months -- and I\'ll give you the very best times for setting them. <i></i>\n<i></i>\n\nAlso on <b>Thursday late afternoon, at 4:05pm EST,</b> at the same time as the New Moon becomes exact, we also enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 6 hours, <b>until 9:42 pm EST</b>. Use this intuitive time to go within and meditate or pray/give thanks/converse with your higher Self.\n\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your Thursday evening ahead of time ;-)\n\n<b>Thursday evening,  </b><i>an opportune Venus/Saturn aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:19 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday night and it will stay strong until Saturday. </b>This aspect gives us an opportunity to bring a sense of realism to our relationships, values, and financial affairs: We are more able to see what really needs to be dealt with in those areas and take responsibility for our handling of them.\n\nOn a financial level, we have an opportunity to see more clearly when and how we might make long-term investments. There\'s no need to rush anything; think it through carefully and responsibly -- do the \"due diligence\". Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us, we have to \"take\" it.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 4-8 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)</i>.\n\n<b>Thursday evening at 9:42 pm EST,</b> <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces,</i></b><i> </i>where it will journey <b>until Sunday morning</b>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\n\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\n\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\n\n<b>Friday (Feb. 16<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>) </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <b>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details)\n\n<strong>Friday morning</strong>, we get an opportunity to be wholly present -- and also to focus on practicalities and long-term plans. As best as you can, bring a sense of flow and faith to your business dealings.\n\n<strong>Friday late morning</strong>, we have a chance to connect with other people from our compassionate heart. If we heed intuition and allow for all things to flow freely, we may discover that the Universe is always taking care of us ;-)\n\n<strong>Friday late evening,</strong> we feel a need to go within and slow down -- and at the same time, we also want to move fast and have new experiences. This tension clearly invites us to stretch a little, and to seek resolution via creative solutions -- the key here is to listen to our intuition, so we don\'t drive ourselves or others crazy.\n\nAlso on <strong>Friday late evening,</strong> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours.\n\n<strong>Friday</strong> is also Chinese New Year. I am not very well-versed in Chinese astrology, so I\'ll just share an excerpt from a newsletter I received last week: \"Today is the start of the Chinese year of the Earth Dog. In Chinese tradition, Earth dogs are faithful, considerate and well-disciplined.\" -- Astro Butterfly\n\n<b>Saturday (Feb. 17<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>): </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details).\n\n<b>Saturday morning,</b> <i>a challenging Mars/Neptune aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:20 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Sunday evening and it will be strong until next week Thursday morning</b>. This aspect is asking us to stretch ourselves, in order to resolve a tension between the things we want to go after, versus our feelings about a higher, spiritual calling. We may be chasing a dream... or a fantasy.\n\nOrdinary life may seem drab and uninteresting to us right now. We tend to either over- or underestimate our own power and abilities. We want something that stirs our imagination: Some vision or ideal or dream to motivate us.\n\nWe have a strong urge to act out our fantasies or live out our dream -- and we have the energy now to DO that which others only talk or dream about -- but we tend to feel scattered. As best as you can, slow down and listen to your intuition before aimlessly zooming ahead. Inspire yourself and others.\n\n<i>Most impacted by this aspect: those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 10-16 degrees of</i><b><i> Sagittarius, Pisces</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Gemini, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\n\n<b>Saturday early morning, </b><i>a Sun/Mercury alignment</i> <i>in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact at 7:27 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday evening on, and it will be strong until next week Tuesday evening. </b>This aspect indicates a confident mind and an analytical approach to life. Intelligence and communication abilities are strong at this time; however, we may not listen as well as the other speaks -- we might be too busy thinking about what to say next.\n\nGiven that this alignment takes place in <strong>Aquarius</strong>, we may feel particularly cool and collected, detached even -- do your best to avoid arrogance or rigidity of thought.\n\nWe want an active role in communications -- it\'s very hard for us to passively listen and absorb information right now. What we say or write now is impactful, so choose your words wisely: If people hung on your every word, what would you say then? What would you hold back from saying?\n\nOur opinions are strong and our thinking independent -- and we\'re proud of both -- so our egos may get bruised if we don\'t feel \"heard\". As best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have a different opinion and that\'s ok.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 26-29 degrees of  </i><strong><i>Aquarius, Leo, Scorpio, Taurus, </i></strong><i>or</i><strong><i> </i></strong><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\">Pisces, Virgo, </b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo, Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)</i>\n\n<b>Saturday</b><b> afternoon (after 4:05pm EST)</b> is also the best time to set<i> our powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse Intentions</i>. Doing so during a Solar Eclipse is a little different from the regular monthly New Moon process: we are setting those intentions for the whole 6-month Eclipse cycle, rather than just for the next 28 days.\n\nSo when is the best time to do this? With a Solar Eclipse it is best to wait 48 hours after the Eclipse has been exact before setting any intentions; as always, we also want to avoid any <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> phases.\n\nThis gives us two \"windows\" for our 6-month intention-setting (all times are EST, which is the New York timezone):\n\nThe first window is on <b>Saturday, Feb. 17th, between 4:05pm and 5:14pm.</b>\n\nThe<b> </b>second would be <b>between 7:05am on Sunday, Feb. 18th, and 4:05pm the following day (Monday, Feb. 19th). </b>\n\nMake them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the <strong>Aquarian</strong> energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\n\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\n\nThis Solar Eclipse reminds us that to be fully alive requires us to constantly stretch, grow, and change. So, while writing your intentions, ask yourself: What would it take for me to release old patterns from the past? How might that free me to create a more powerful vision for the future?\n\n<b>Saturday early evening,</b> <b>at 5:14 pm EST,</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 14 hours, <b>until 7:05 am EST (Sunday morning)</b>. Use this intuitive time to explore any beliefs connected to past experiences that left you feeling disempowered: How could a compassionate approach to the past allow for a new perspective?\n\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your Saturday evening and Sunday early morning ahead of time ;-)\n\n<b>Late Saturday evening at 11:28 pm EST </b><i>Mercury changes signs from freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> to creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i>.</b> It will journey through Pisces until <b>March 6<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b>. We are moving from the mind into the heart. For these next two weeks, we get a chance to communicate with compassion -- we see the commonalities between us all, rather than what separates us.\n\nWe seem to be connected to Source more easily during this time -- if we allow that energy to come through -- and our thinking will be very creative, imaginative and intuitive.\n\nThe key with this energy is to remain in the “here and now” and open up to a higher vibration. If we can do that, we will be able to download information from an intuitive place, rather than thinking things through. This could also be the reason why our mind is slowing down a bit and why we speak more softly.\n\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> also offers us an opportunity to let go of any mental structures, conditionings or fears that are no longer serving us. If you are not connected to your intuition, you may want to double check with other people, before signing any documents or buying any big-ticket items. Are you ready to connect to your intuition more fully? Can you allow for the unfolding process, trusting your higher Self more fully?\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more talkative during this time. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you may need to learn to surrender to a slower pace and connect more fully to your heart and intuition.  </i>\n\n<b>Sunday (Feb. 18<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>): </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><b> </b>and<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><b> until 7:05am EST.</b>\n\n<b>Sunday morning at 7:05 am EST </b><i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries,</i></b> where it will remain <b>until Tuesday afternoon</b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\n\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\n\n<b>Sunday afternoon at 12:18 pm</b> <i>the Sun moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> where it will remain <b>until March 20th. </b>This brings our awareness to our sense of oneness with everyone and everything around us. We feel like sponges, able to pick up all energy around us; this also makes us more sensitive and emotional. We are more drawn towards expressing ourselves in a creative or spiritual way.\n\nMusic or energy healing gives us vitality and can heighten our own personal vibrations. We need to slow down a little and listen to our intuition more fully -- if we ignore our feelings and the subtle messages we are getting, we will most likely feel more anxious and somewhat frustrated. This could also be connected to the slow pace that our body or our surroundings are demanding of us.\n\nThe keyword here is \"allowing\": as best as you can, be aware of what you are resisting, moment to moment, and create some space -- allow it to be as it is. Notice when you are picking up someone else\'s feelings rather than your own.\n\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces </i></b><i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, your vitality will depend on allowing things to flow and being gentle with yourself.</i>\n\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\">Last but not least, </span><b>Sunday </b><span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\"><b>after </b></span><b>7:05am EST, </b> you have all day to set your Solar Eclipse <span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\">Intentions. </span>Make them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the <strong>Aquarian</strong> energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\n\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>.

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday</strong><b> afternoon</b>, our focus intensifies -- we might even get a little obsessed with a project or task -- as best as you can, take breaks and don\'t forget to practice a little self-care ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday evening,</strong> we get the opportunity to investigate our deepest motivations and align them with our long-term goals and achievements (if we are awake at this time, of course). We are capable of great focus for the next couple of hours. As with all opportunities in life, this one is not simply handed to us, we have to make something of it. Might deeper perspectives into your psyche move you closer to long-term goals?\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday (Feb. 13<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> <i>the Moon remains in practical, </i><i>accomplishment-oriented</i><i> </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> <b>until 10:11am EST</b> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday very early morning,</b> <b>at 12:43am EST,</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for about 9.5 hours, <b>until 10:11am EST</b>.You may be aware of two seemingly conflicting desires: On the one hand, a need for serious, diligent accomplishment -- and on the other, a desire to break free and rebel against obligations.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take some breaks, and \"let your freak flag fly\" -- just for a moment -- and revel in it! As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your morning ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday at 10:11 am EST</b> <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> where it will be <b>until Thursday evening</b>. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday early evening</b> a <i>challenging Mercury/Jupiter aspect</i> becomes exact at 5:39 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from</b> <b>Sunday and it will be strong until Thursday. </b>This aspect asks that we grow and evolve in the following areas: how we communicate our vision for the future and how much we share with others. We may have to find creative solutions to communicate; we may have to learn about our thinking process and conditioning.\r\n\r\nWe want to share ourselves without limitation. We are thus inclined to exaggeration, often unintended -- and might struggle to transform ideas into reality. The upside to all this: we can be extraordinarily funny, interesting and creative.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday </b><i>an opportune Sun/Uranus aspect</i><b> </b>becomes exact at 9:23pm EST. <b>We started to feel this aspect Sunday evening on, and it will be strong until Thursday night. </b>We have the opportunity to become aware of an original or unique approach to life. Flexibility is the key to success at this time; pleasant changes may be in store -- certainly unexpected ones ;-)\r\n\r\nWhat is your uniqueness? How could you express that proudly and authentically? As best as you can, watch out for messages from the Universe! Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us: We have to \"realize\" it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo</i></b><i> or</i><b><i> Aquarius </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday (Feb. 14<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> (Valentine’s Day) <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>all day</b> (see Tuesday late morning for details)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday morning</strong> is an opportunity to connect with others and explore actively the things that can bring us progress.\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday </b>is also the <i>last day before the Solar Eclipse in</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact. There is some potent energy coming our way; it would be wise to prepare ourselves to be transformed by it, allowing for our consciousness upgrade to be installed.\r\n\r\nThis is a good time to slow things down and go within. For many of us, this will be a stretch, as we want to do just the opposite: jump the gun, get started with something new, act impulsively, etc. This is quite common right before a Solar Eclipse. As best as you can, stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions and connect to your inner wisdom.\r\n\r\nIt comes down to this: just for now and just as best as you can... could you simply allow what is... to be? Could you simply be the “observer” until the upgrade is complete?\r\n\r\nRather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing things. Think back to late Aug. 2017 -- the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo. What did you start around then? How could you complete it, or move it to the next level?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take the days immediately before and after the Eclipse for meditation, contemplation, journaling — anything that supports an objective understanding of your own thoughts and visions.\r\n\r\nOf course if, like most of us, you have other obligations: take 5-minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, get quiet and be with yourself (i.e. your inspirational Self, your higher mind). Ask yourself: What might become possible if you gave this to yourself on a regular basis?\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday (Feb. 15<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>) </b>is a big day! <i>The Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>until 9:42pm EST</b> (see Tuesday late morning for details)\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday morning</b> an <i>opportune Mercury/Uranus aspect</i> becomes exact at 10:07am EST. <b>We started to feel this from aspect from Wednesday on, and it will be strong until Friday</b>.This is an opportunity to connect our thinking and communication to a brighter, more collaborative vision for the future.\r\n\r\nIt also brings an opportunity for insight, novelty, and some really unusual conversations. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to realize it.\r\n\r\nThis aspect also brings an opportunity to view things from a different perspective or put a new spin on \"old\" thinking. We like to connect in unusual ways; any group activities or brainstorming with like-minded people could generate amazing insights -- this might be a busy day. As best as you can, or want to... stay open to other dimensions ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> <i>(Mercury is the ruler of Virgo and Gemini; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\nOn <b>Thursday at 4:05pm EST, </b><i>a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse in 27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> becomes exact. </i>This is the beginning of both a new Moon cycle and an Eclipse cycle.  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\nEclipses take place approximately every 6 months; <i>Solar Eclipses</i> are extra-powerful New Moons that end one 19-year cycle and begin another — the last Solar Eclipse in this same degree of Aquarius was back on Feb. 16th, 1999. We are likely to experience a resonance between now and that time — \"resonant\", rather than identical — so think back to the Spring of 1999:\r\n\r\nWere there any major endings and beginnings? What was important back then? If there were a call this time to take those priorities to the next level… Where would that next level find you?\r\n\r\nIf you\'re looking for more guidance on those questions, I would suggest taking a look at your Natal Chart: the House placement of the Eclipse will indicate which area of life is the readiest for a new level of consciousness.\r\n\r\nIf that idea appeals, I suggest checking out my <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">30-minute class, \"How to Read My Birth Chart”</a> -- you might also want to purchase the video of the most recent <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">Forecasting Forum</a> -- we looked directly at our own birth charts to see how this Solar Eclipse will affect each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar, available <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">on my website</a>).\r\n\r\nOr...\r\n\r\n<b>Get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, <b>plus</b> a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\r\n\r\nAlthough we have experienced several Eclipses in the Leo/Aquarius polarity since last year, this will be the <i>first Solar Eclipse in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>. This points to a new beginning of some sort, with the visionary Aquarian energy impacting the area of life indicated by its house placement in our individual birth charts.\r\n\r\nSolar Eclipses reveal pathways that can take us to the next level of our evolution. They herald shifts in consciousness; the shift connected with this particular Eclipse will unfold over the next 6 months.\r\n\r\nThe Sun and Moon are connected to one of the Moon Nodes during an Eclipse; in this case, the South Node -- and <i>South Node Eclipses</i> can help us release energies or attachments that no longer serve our Soul’s evolution. Again, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">feel free to check out my webinar about the Eclipses</a> to see where this new beginning and next level of your Soul\'s evolution takes place for you.\r\n\r\nEclipses are Uranian in nature; as such, they are times of uncertainty -- so pretty much anything could happen <b>between now and the end of Eclipse season (Feb. 25th).</b>\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, stay both grounded <i>and</i> flexible — and don\'t jump the gun: If you feel compelled to do something, do your best to simply observe the urge. The exception might be something that happens organically -- but if you are ambivalent about a possible action, better hold off at least until the end of Eclipse Season (Feb. 25th).\r\n\r\nEclipses bring major endings and beginnings. As best you can, trust that whatever is leaving is making space for something better -- the more willing we are to change, the easier it will be.\r\n\r\nThat said, projects and interactions that got underway prior to Eclipse season (i.e. before Jan. 21st) are another matter -- don’t stop your life just because it is Eclipse season ;-) Pay attention also to anything that got started at the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo, in August of last year.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Do I have a better understanding of what brings me joy? Am I more courageous and self-expressed?\r\n\r\nWith the <i>Solar Eclipse</i> in <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>, we have our eye on the future. The highest vibration of Aquarius gives us the opportunity to see a clear vision for our life -- and we are ready to make huge improvements.\r\n\r\n<strong>Aquarius</strong> also deals with the power of ideals, technology, and inventions. We are interested in the collective focus on changing group consciousness; we strive for equality, collaboration, progress. This eclipse invites us to bring this higher vibration to our ability to be courageous and joyful in our own right.\r\n\r\n<i>South Node Eclipses</i> invite us to become aware of the lower vibrations of a sign, so we can release those energies or attachments that no longer serve our evolution, and move toward the higher vibration of the sign -- in this case, that would obviously be Aquarius -- so what do the lower Aquarian vibrations look and feel like?\r\n\r\nAt a lower <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, we feel like outsiders -- as though we don\'t fit in, are maybe a little <i>too</i> different. We want to rebel against social structures that don\'t fit with our vision.\r\n\r\nWe get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not take responsibility for our part in the collective -- when we do not honor our individual genius, our unique contribution to society or our communities. Ask yourself:\r\n\r\nWhat stops me from connecting to my inner genius? What if I allowed myself to be both different <i>and</i> connected to others? What if taking responsibility for \"how things are\" was the perfect jump-start for a better future?\r\n\r\nTo move even further into that higher <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, try also asking yourself the following questions: Where am I called to make a difference? What could I, as an individual, do for humanity? And how might group consciousness help humanity make progress? Where can I begin?\r\n\r\nEvery single one of us has a special gift, a spark unique to us; when we access our inner genius and share it with the world, we can make quantum leaps of insight and embark on remarkable collaborations with others. Ask yourself: How does my inner genius communicate? Where does it want to show up?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) currently in <strong>Aries</strong>, sextiles the Sun, Moon, and Mercury in <strong>Aquarius</strong>. </i>This is a tremendous opportunity for all of us to become more aware of our individual impact on the collective: We are all agents of change. Already. Always.\r\n\r\nRight now, our individual capacity to effect change is far greater than we realize — especially for those of us with Uranus, Aquarius, or 11th house planets strongly emphasized in our birth chart — and when we team up with others who also care deeply about creating a better future, we can create real change.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How can I inspire others to foster progress? What becomes possible when we all connect with the intention to create meaningful change for everyone? For all living things?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong> squares the Solar Eclipse, sextiles Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, and trines Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong>. </i>This combo invites us to stretch ourselves for the duration of this Eclipse cycle -- to grow beyond what we currently know ourselves to be -- it supports our ability to build a more meaningful future and allows us to engage more fully in our current healing process.\r\n\r\nHere\'s a good start: We all have \"survival tactics\" we formed in response to past circumstances. Ask yourself: What if I expanded my awareness and comprehension of my personal survival tactics by just 5%? What might a new perspective on my fears and defenses show me? What if I relentlessly questioned old beliefs about intimate or financial partnerships? What might I discover about what has become true in the meantime? If I genuinely allowed this insight to change my behaviors and expectations, what might that look like?\r\n\r\nAs always when Chiron is involved, aim for wholeness, forgiveness — above all, keep a courageously open heart — our light shines all the brighter when all of our authentic self is visible, even the shadowy parts :-)\r\n\r\n<i>Eclipses</i> are a time for clarifying and affirming our highest path. We are bound to experience a release -- and a recalibration: “old” codes will get deleted and new programming downloaded. This is especially true when connected with our vision for the future (and for the collective).\r\n\r\nSuppressing or denying the unique gifts we each bring to the collective experience is even less wise than before; we are more aware than ever that we <b>are interconnected</b> and thus every single one of us contributes to the human experience and is capable of making a difference on this shared journey.\r\n\r\nSince Eclipse season continues until Feb. 25th, I highly recommend again that you treat yourself to the video of my most recent <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">Forecasting Forum</a> (<a href=\"https://goo.gl/uB8R7j\">https://goo.gl/uB8R7j</a>) -- we covered the Eclipses, including this Solar Eclipse in <b>Aquarius</b>, looking directly at our own birth charts to see how this affects each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">on my website</a>).\r\n\r\nOr...\r\n\r\nYou may recall that I now offer membership plans -- you could <b>get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, plus a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum, by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\r\n\r\n<b>Between now and Feb. 25th</b>, allow for the new templates to download; stay centered and do your best to ground from within. Try using conscious breathing, flexibility -- and best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body… And if nothing else, remember: this won\'t last forever -- in another two weeks, the downloads are complete ;-)  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">Again, I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in one of the following placements: 22-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, Scorpio, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly.</i>\r\n\r\nNow let’s talk “Intentions” :-) Regular readers will know that we usually use the time of the New Moon to set intentions for the coming month.\r\n\r\nWith a Solar Eclipse, we want to <b>wait 48 hours before setting our intentions </b>-- in Saturdays Forecast, I’ll be talking about setting some powerful intentions, not just for the next month as is usual for a New Moon, but for the next <i>six</i> months -- and I\'ll give you the very best times for setting them. <i></i>\r\n<i></i>\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Thursday late afternoon, at 4:05pm EST,</b> at the same time as the New Moon becomes exact, we also enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 6 hours, <b>until 9:42 pm EST</b>. Use this intuitive time to go within and meditate or pray/give thanks/converse with your higher Self.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your Thursday evening ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday evening,  </b><i>an opportune Venus/Saturn aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:19 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday night and it will stay strong until Saturday. </b>This aspect gives us an opportunity to bring a sense of realism to our relationships, values, and financial affairs: We are more able to see what really needs to be dealt with in those areas and take responsibility for our handling of them.\r\n\r\nOn a financial level, we have an opportunity to see more clearly when and how we might make long-term investments. There\'s no need to rush anything; think it through carefully and responsibly -- do the \"due diligence\". Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us, we have to \"take\" it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 4-8 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)</i>.\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday evening at 9:42 pm EST,</b> <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces,</i></b><i> </i>where it will journey <b>until Sunday morning</b>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<b>Friday (Feb. 16<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>) </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <b>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday morning</strong>, we get an opportunity to be wholly present -- and also to focus on practicalities and long-term plans. As best as you can, bring a sense of flow and faith to your business dealings.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning</strong>, we have a chance to connect with other people from our compassionate heart. If we heed intuition and allow for all things to flow freely, we may discover that the Universe is always taking care of us ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late evening,</strong> we feel a need to go within and slow down -- and at the same time, we also want to move fast and have new experiences. This tension clearly invites us to stretch a little, and to seek resolution via creative solutions -- the key here is to listen to our intuition, so we don\'t drive ourselves or others crazy.\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Friday late evening,</strong> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday</strong> is also Chinese New Year. I am not very well-versed in Chinese astrology, so I\'ll just share an excerpt from a newsletter I received last week: \"Today is the start of the Chinese year of the Earth Dog. In Chinese tradition, Earth dogs are faithful, considerate and well-disciplined.\" -- Astro Butterfly\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday (Feb. 17<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>): </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday morning,</b> <i>a challenging Mars/Neptune aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:20 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Sunday evening and it will be strong until next week Thursday morning</b>. This aspect is asking us to stretch ourselves, in order to resolve a tension between the things we want to go after, versus our feelings about a higher, spiritual calling. We may be chasing a dream... or a fantasy.\r\n\r\nOrdinary life may seem drab and uninteresting to us right now. We tend to either over- or underestimate our own power and abilities. We want something that stirs our imagination: Some vision or ideal or dream to motivate us.\r\n\r\nWe have a strong urge to act out our fantasies or live out our dream -- and we have the energy now to DO that which others only talk or dream about -- but we tend to feel scattered. As best as you can, slow down and listen to your intuition before aimlessly zooming ahead. Inspire yourself and others.\r\n\r\n<i>Most impacted by this aspect: those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 10-16 degrees of</i><b><i> Sagittarius, Pisces</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Gemini, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday early morning, </b><i>a Sun/Mercury alignment</i> <i>in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact at 7:27 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday evening on, and it will be strong until next week Tuesday evening. </b>This aspect indicates a confident mind and an analytical approach to life. Intelligence and communication abilities are strong at this time; however, we may not listen as well as the other speaks -- we might be too busy thinking about what to say next.\r\n\r\nGiven that this alignment takes place in <strong>Aquarius</strong>, we may feel particularly cool and collected, detached even -- do your best to avoid arrogance or rigidity of thought.\r\n\r\nWe want an active role in communications -- it\'s very hard for us to passively listen and absorb information right now. What we say or write now is impactful, so choose your words wisely: If people hung on your every word, what would you say then? What would you hold back from saying?\r\n\r\nOur opinions are strong and our thinking independent -- and we\'re proud of both -- so our egos may get bruised if we don\'t feel \"heard\". As best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have a different opinion and that\'s ok.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 26-29 degrees of  </i><strong><i>Aquarius, Leo, Scorpio, Taurus, </i></strong><i>or</i><strong><i> </i></strong><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\">Pisces, Virgo, </b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo, Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday</b><b> afternoon (after 4:05pm EST)</b> is also the best time to set<i> our powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse Intentions</i>. Doing so during a Solar Eclipse is a little different from the regular monthly New Moon process: we are setting those intentions for the whole 6-month Eclipse cycle, rather than just for the next 28 days.\r\n\r\nSo when is the best time to do this? With a Solar Eclipse it is best to wait 48 hours after the Eclipse has been exact before setting any intentions; as always, we also want to avoid any <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> phases.\r\n\r\nThis gives us two \"windows\" for our 6-month intention-setting (all times are EST, which is the New York timezone):\r\n\r\nThe first window is on <b>Saturday, Feb. 17th, between 4:05pm and 5:14pm.</b>\r\n\r\nThe<b> </b>second would be <b>between 7:05am on Sunday, Feb. 18th, and 4:05pm the following day (Monday, Feb. 19th). </b>\r\n\r\nMake them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the <strong>Aquarian</strong> energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nThis Solar Eclipse reminds us that to be fully alive requires us to constantly stretch, grow, and change. So, while writing your intentions, ask yourself: What would it take for me to release old patterns from the past? How might that free me to create a more powerful vision for the future?\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday early evening,</b> <b>at 5:14 pm EST,</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 14 hours, <b>until 7:05 am EST (Sunday morning)</b>. Use this intuitive time to explore any beliefs connected to past experiences that left you feeling disempowered: How could a compassionate approach to the past allow for a new perspective?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your Saturday evening and Sunday early morning ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Late Saturday evening at 11:28 pm EST </b><i>Mercury changes signs from freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> to creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i>.</b> It will journey through Pisces until <b>March 6<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b>. We are moving from the mind into the heart. For these next two weeks, we get a chance to communicate with compassion -- we see the commonalities between us all, rather than what separates us.\r\n\r\nWe seem to be connected to Source more easily during this time -- if we allow that energy to come through -- and our thinking will be very creative, imaginative and intuitive.\r\n\r\nThe key with this energy is to remain in the “here and now” and open up to a higher vibration. If we can do that, we will be able to download information from an intuitive place, rather than thinking things through. This could also be the reason why our mind is slowing down a bit and why we speak more softly.\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> also offers us an opportunity to let go of any mental structures, conditionings or fears that are no longer serving us. If you are not connected to your intuition, you may want to double check with other people, before signing any documents or buying any big-ticket items. Are you ready to connect to your intuition more fully? Can you allow for the unfolding process, trusting your higher Self more fully?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more talkative during this time. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you may need to learn to surrender to a slower pace and connect more fully to your heart and intuition.  </i>\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday (Feb. 18<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>): </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><b> </b>and<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><b> until 7:05am EST.</b>\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday morning at 7:05 am EST </b><i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries,</i></b> where it will remain <b>until Tuesday afternoon</b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday afternoon at 12:18 pm</b> <i>the Sun moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> where it will remain <b>until March 20th. </b>This brings our awareness to our sense of oneness with everyone and everything around us. We feel like sponges, able to pick up all energy around us; this also makes us more sensitive and emotional. We are more drawn towards expressing ourselves in a creative or spiritual way.\r\n\r\nMusic or energy healing gives us vitality and can heighten our own personal vibrations. We need to slow down a little and listen to our intuition more fully -- if we ignore our feelings and the subtle messages we are getting, we will most likely feel more anxious and somewhat frustrated. This could also be connected to the slow pace that our body or our surroundings are demanding of us.\r\n\r\nThe keyword here is \"allowing\": as best as you can, be aware of what you are resisting, moment to moment, and create some space -- allow it to be as it is. Notice when you are picking up someone else\'s feelings rather than your own.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces </i></b><i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, your vitality will depend on allowing things to flow and being gentle with yourself.</i>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\">Last but not least, </span><b>Sunday </b><span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\"><b>after </b></span><b>7:05am EST, </b> you have all day to set your Solar Eclipse <span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\">Intentions. </span>Make them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the <strong>Aquarian</strong> energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>.

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday</strong><b> afternoon</b>, our focus intensifies -- we might even get a little obsessed with a project or task -- as best as you can, take breaks and don\'t forget to practice a little self-care ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday evening,</strong> we get the opportunity to investigate our deepest motivations and align them with our long-term goals and achievements (if we are awake at this time, of course). We are capable of great focus for the next couple of hours. As with all opportunities in life, this one is not simply handed to us, we have to make something of it. Might deeper perspectives into your psyche move you closer to long-term goals?\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday (Feb. 13<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> <i>the Moon remains in practical, </i><i>accomplishment-oriented</i><i> </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> <b>until 10:11am EST</b> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday very early morning,</b> <b>at 12:43am EST,</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for about 9.5 hours, <b>until 10:11am EST</b>.You may be aware of two seemingly conflicting desires: On the one hand, a need for serious, diligent accomplishment -- and on the other, a desire to break free and rebel against obligations.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take some breaks, and \"let your freak flag fly\" -- just for a moment -- and revel in it! As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday early evening</b> a <i>challenging Mercury/Jupiter aspect</i> becomes exact at 5:39 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from</b> <b>Sunday and it will be strong until Thursday. </b>This aspect asks that we grow and evolve in the following areas: how we communicate our vision for the future and how much we share with others. We may have to find creative solutions to communicate; we may have to learn about our thinking process and conditioning.\r\n\r\nWe want to share ourselves without limitation. We are thus inclined to exaggeration, often unintended -- and might struggle to transform ideas into reality. The upside to all this: we can be extraordinarily funny, interesting and creative.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday </b><i>an opportune Sun/Uranus aspect</i><b> </b>becomes exact at 9:23pm EST. <b>We started to feel this aspect Sunday evening on, and it will be strong until Thursday night. </b>We have the opportunity to become aware of an original or unique approach to life. Flexibility is the key to success at this time; pleasant changes may be in store -- certainly unexpected ones ;-)\r\n\r\nWhat is your uniqueness? How could you express that proudly and authentically? As best as you can, watch out for messages from the Universe! Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us: We have to \"realize\" it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo</i></b><i> or</i><b><i> Aquarius </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday (Feb. 14<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> (Valentine’s Day) <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>all day</b> (see Tuesday late morning for details)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday morning</strong> is an opportunity to connect with others and explore actively the things that can bring us progress.\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday </b>is also the <i>last day before the Solar Eclipse in</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact. There is some potent energy coming our way; it would be wise to prepare ourselves to be transformed by it, allowing for our consciousness upgrade to be installed.\r\n\r\nThis is a good time to slow things down and go within. For many of us, this will be a stretch, as we want to do just the opposite: jump the gun, get started with something new, act impulsively, etc. This is quite common right before a Solar Eclipse. As best as you can, stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions and connect to your inner wisdom.\r\n\r\nIt comes down to this: just for now and just as best as you can... could you simply allow what is... to be? Could you simply be the “observer” until the upgrade is complete?\r\n\r\nRather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing things. Think back to late Aug. 2017 -- the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo. What did you start around then? How could you complete it, or move it to the next level?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take the days immediately before and after the Eclipse for meditation, contemplation, journaling — anything that supports an objective understanding of your own thoughts and visions.\r\n\r\nOf course if, like most of us, you have other obligations: take 5-minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, get quiet and be with yourself (i.e. your inspirational Self, your higher mind). Ask yourself: What might become possible if you gave this to yourself on a regular basis?\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday (Feb. 15<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>) </b>is a big day! <i>The Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>until 9:42pm EST</b> (see Tuesday late morning for details)\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday morning</b> an <i>opportune Mercury/Uranus aspect</i> becomes exact at 10:07am EST. <b>We started to feel this from aspect from Wednesday on, and it will be strong until Friday</b>.This is an opportunity to connect our thinking and communication to a brighter, more collaborative vision for the future.\r\n\r\nIt also brings an opportunity for insight, novelty, and some really unusual conversations. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to realize it.\r\n\r\nThis aspect also brings an opportunity to view things from a different perspective or put a new spin on \"old\" thinking. We like to connect in unusual ways; any group activities or brainstorming with like-minded people could generate amazing insights -- this might be a busy day. As best as you can, or want to... stay open to other dimensions ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> <i>(Mercury is the ruler of Virgo and Gemini; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\nOn <b>Thursday at 4:05pm EST, </b><i>a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse in 27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> becomes exact. </i>This is the beginning of both a new Moon cycle and an Eclipse cycle.  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\nEclipses take place approximately every 6 months; <i>Solar Eclipses</i> are extra-powerful New Moons that end one 19-year cycle and begin another — the last Solar Eclipse in this same degree of Aquarius was back on Feb. 16th, 1999. We are likely to experience a resonance between now and that time — \"resonant\", rather than identical — so think back to the Spring of 1999:\r\n\r\nWere there any major endings and beginnings? What was important back then? If there were a call this time to take those priorities to the next level… Where would that next level find you?\r\n\r\nIf you\'re looking for more guidance on those questions, I would suggest taking a look at your Natal Chart: the House placement of the Eclipse will indicate which area of life is the readiest for a new level of consciousness.\r\n\r\nIf that idea appeals, I suggest checking out my <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">30-minute class, \"How to Read My Birth Chart”</a> -- you might also want to purchase the video of the most recent <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">Forecasting Forum</a> -- we looked directly at our own birth charts to see how this Solar Eclipse will affect each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar, available <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">on my website</a>).\r\n\r\nOr...\r\n\r\n<b>Get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, <b>plus</b> a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\r\n\r\nAlthough we have experienced several Eclipses in the Leo/Aquarius polarity since last year, this will be the <i>first Solar Eclipse in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>. This points to a new beginning of some sort, with the visionary Aquarian energy impacting the area of life indicated by its house placement in our individual birth charts.\r\n\r\nSolar Eclipses reveal pathways that can take us to the next level of our evolution. They herald shifts in consciousness; the shift connected with this particular Eclipse will unfold over the next 6 months.\r\n\r\nThe Sun and Moon are connected to one of the Moon Nodes during an Eclipse; in this case, the South Node -- and <i>South Node Eclipses</i> can help us release energies or attachments that no longer serve our Soul’s evolution. Again, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">feel free to check out my webinar about the Eclipses</a> to see where this new beginning and next level of your Soul\'s evolution takes place for you.\r\n\r\nEclipses are Uranian in nature; as such, they are times of uncertainty -- so pretty much anything could happen <b>between now and the end of Eclipse season (Feb. 25th).</b>\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, stay both grounded <i>and</i> flexible — and don\'t jump the gun: If you feel compelled to do something, do your best to simply observe the urge. The exception might be something that happens organically -- but if you are ambivalent about a possible action, better hold off at least until the end of Eclipse Season (Feb. 25th).\r\n\r\nEclipses bring major endings and beginnings. As best you can, trust that whatever is leaving is making space for something better -- the more willing we are to change, the easier it will be.\r\n\r\nThat said, projects and interactions that got underway prior to Eclipse season (i.e. before Jan. 21st) are another matter -- don’t stop your life just because it is Eclipse season ;-) Pay attention also to anything that got started at the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo, in August of last year.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Do I have a better understanding of what brings me joy? Am I more courageous and self-expressed?\r\n\r\nWith the <i>Solar Eclipse</i> in <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>, we have our eye on the future. The highest vibration of Aquarius gives us the opportunity to see a clear vision for our life -- and we are ready to make huge improvements.\r\n\r\n<strong>Aquarius</strong> also deals with the power of ideals, technology, and inventions. We are interested in the collective focus on changing group consciousness; we strive for equality, collaboration, progress. This eclipse invites us to bring this higher vibration to our ability to be courageous and joyful in our own right.\r\n\r\n<i>South Node Eclipses</i> invite us to become aware of the lower vibrations of a sign, so we can release those energies or attachments that no longer serve our evolution, and move toward the higher vibration of the sign -- in this case, that would obviously be Aquarius -- so what do the lower Aquarian vibrations look and feel like?\r\n\r\nAt a lower <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, we feel like outsiders -- as though we don\'t fit in, are maybe a little <i>too</i> different. We want to rebel against social structures that don\'t fit with our vision.\r\n\r\nWe get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not take responsibility for our part in the collective -- when we do not honor our individual genius, our unique contribution to society or our communities. Ask yourself:\r\n\r\nWhat stops me from connecting to my inner genius? What if I allowed myself to be both different <i>and</i> connected to others? What if taking responsibility for \"how things are\" was the perfect jump-start for a better future?\r\n\r\nTo move even further into that higher <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, try also asking yourself the following questions: Where am I called to make a difference? What could I, as an individual, do for humanity? And how might group consciousness help humanity make progress? Where can I begin?\r\n\r\nEvery single one of us has a special gift, a spark unique to us; when we access our inner genius and share it with the world, we can make quantum leaps of insight and embark on remarkable collaborations with others. Ask yourself: How does my inner genius communicate? Where does it want to show up?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) currently in <strong>Aries</strong>, sextiles the Sun, Moon, and Mercury in <strong>Aquarius</strong>. </i>This is a tremendous opportunity for all of us to become more aware of our individual impact on the collective: We are all agents of change. Already. Always.\r\n\r\nRight now, our individual capacity to effect change is far greater than we realize — especially for those of us with Uranus, Aquarius, or 11th house planets strongly emphasized in our birth chart — and when we team up with others who also care deeply about creating a better future, we can create real change.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How can I inspire others to foster progress? What becomes possible when we all connect with the intention to create meaningful change for everyone? For all living things?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong> squares the Solar Eclipse, sextiles Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, and trines Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong>. </i>This combo invites us to stretch ourselves for the duration of this Eclipse cycle -- to grow beyond what we currently know ourselves to be -- it supports our ability to build a more meaningful future and allows us to engage more fully in our current healing process.\r\n\r\nHere\'s a good start: We all have \"survival tactics\" we formed in response to past circumstances. Ask yourself: What if I expanded my awareness and comprehension of my personal survival tactics by just 5%? What might a new perspective on my fears and defenses show me? What if I relentlessly questioned old beliefs about intimate or financial partnerships? What might I discover about what has become true in the meantime? If I genuinely allowed this insight to change my behaviors and expectations, what might that look like?\r\n\r\nAs always when Chiron is involved, aim for wholeness, forgiveness — above all, keep a courageously open heart — our light shines all the brighter when all of our authentic self is visible, even the shadowy parts :-)\r\n\r\n<i>Eclipses</i> are a time for clarifying and affirming our highest path. We are bound to experience a release -- and a recalibration: “old” codes will get deleted and new programming downloaded. This is especially true when connected with our vision for the future (and for the collective).\r\n\r\nSuppressing or denying the unique gifts we each bring to the collective experience is even less wise than before; we are more aware than ever that we <b>are interconnected</b> and thus every single one of us contributes to the human experience and is capable of making a difference on this shared journey.\r\n\r\nSince Eclipse season continues until Feb. 25th, I highly recommend again that you treat yourself to the video of my most recent <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">Forecasting Forum</a> (<a href=\"https://goo.gl/uB8R7j\">https://goo.gl/uB8R7j</a>) -- we covered the Eclipses, including this Solar Eclipse in <b>Aquarius</b>, looking directly at our own birth charts to see how this affects each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">on my website</a>).\r\n\r\nOr...\r\n\r\nYou may recall that I now offer membership plans -- you could <b>get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, plus a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum, by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\r\n\r\n<b>Between now and Feb. 25th</b>, allow for the new templates to download; stay centered and do your best to ground from within. Try using conscious breathing, flexibility -- and best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body… And if nothing else, remember: this won\'t last forever -- in another two weeks, the downloads are complete ;-)  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">Again, I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in one of the following placements: 22-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, Scorpio, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly.</i>\r\n\r\nNow let’s talk “Intentions” :-) Regular readers will know that we usually use the time of the New Moon to set intentions for the coming month.\r\n\r\nWith a Solar Eclipse, we want to <b>wait 48 hours before setting our intentions </b>-- in Saturdays Forecast, I’ll be talking about setting some powerful intentions, not just for the next month as is usual for a New Moon, but for the next <i>six</i> months -- and I\'ll give you the very best times for setting them. <i></i>\r\n<i></i>\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Thursday late afternoon, at 4:05pm EST,</b> at the same time as the New Moon becomes exact, we also enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 6 hours, <b>until 9:42 pm EST</b>. Use this intuitive time to go within and meditate or pray/give thanks/converse with your higher Self.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your Thursday evening ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday evening,  </b><i>an opportune Venus/Saturn aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:19 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday night and it will stay strong until Saturday. </b>This aspect gives us an opportunity to bring a sense of realism to our relationships, values, and financial affairs: We are more able to see what really needs to be dealt with in those areas and take responsibility for our handling of them.\r\n\r\nOn a financial level, we have an opportunity to see more clearly when and how we might make long-term investments. There\'s no need to rush anything; think it through carefully and responsibly -- do the \"due diligence\". Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us, we have to \"take\" it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 4-8 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)</i>.\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday evening at 9:42 pm EST,</b> <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces,</i></b><i> </i>where it will journey <b>until Sunday morning</b>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<b>Friday (Feb. 16<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>) </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <b>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday morning</strong>, we get an opportunity to be wholly present -- and also to focus on practicalities and long-term plans. As best as you can, bring a sense of flow and faith to your business dealings. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em>(Moon in Pisces sextiles Saturn in Capricorn 9:58 am -- post at 8am EST)</em></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning</strong>, we have a chance to connect with other people from our compassionate heart. If we heed intuition and allow for all things to flow freely, we may discover that the Universe is always taking care of us ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late evening,</strong> we feel a need to go within and slow down -- and at the same time, we also want to move fast and have new experiences. This tension clearly invites us to stretch a little, and to seek resolution via creative solutions -- the key here is to listen to our intuition, so we don\'t drive ourselves or others crazy.\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Friday late evening,</strong> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday</strong> is also Chinese New Year. I am not very well-versed in Chinese astrology, so I\'ll just share an excerpt from a newsletter I received last week: \"Today is the start of the Chinese year of the Earth Dog. In Chinese tradition, Earth dogs are faithful, considerate and well-disciplined.\" -- Astro Butterfly\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday (Feb. 17<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>): </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday morning,</b> <i>a challenging Mars/Neptune aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:20 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Sunday evening and it will be strong until next week Thursday morning</b>. This aspect is asking us to stretch ourselves, in order to resolve a tension between the things we want to go after, versus our feelings about a higher, spiritual calling. We may be chasing a dream... or a fantasy.\r\n\r\nOrdinary life may seem drab and uninteresting to us right now. We tend to either over- or underestimate our own power and abilities. We want something that stirs our imagination: Some vision or ideal or dream to motivate us.\r\n\r\nWe have a strong urge to act out our fantasies or live out our dream -- and we have the energy now to DO that which others only talk or dream about -- but we tend to feel scattered. As best as you can, slow down and listen to your intuition before aimlessly zooming ahead. Inspire yourself and others.\r\n\r\n<i>Most impacted by this aspect: those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 10-16 degrees of</i><b><i> Sagittarius, Pisces</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Gemini, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday early morning, </b><i>a Sun/Mercury alignment</i> <i>in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact at 7:27 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday evening on, and it will be strong until next week Tuesday evening. </b>This aspect indicates a confident mind and an analytical approach to life. Intelligence and communication abilities are strong at this time; however, we may not listen as well as the other speaks -- we might be too busy thinking about what to say next.\r\n\r\nGiven that this alignment takes place in <strong>Aquarius</strong>, we may feel particularly cool and collected, detached even -- do your best to avoid arrogance or rigidity of thought.\r\n\r\nWe want an active role in communications -- it\'s very hard for us to passively listen and absorb information right now. What we say or write now is impactful, so choose your words wisely: If people hung on your every word, what would you say then? What would you hold back from saying?\r\n\r\nOur opinions are strong and our thinking independent -- and we\'re proud of both -- so our egos may get bruised if we don\'t feel \"heard\". As best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have a different opinion and that\'s ok.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 26-29 degrees of  </i><strong><i>Aquarius, Leo, Scorpio, Taurus, </i></strong><i>or</i><strong><i> </i></strong><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\">Pisces, Virgo, </b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo, Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday</b><b> afternoon (after 4:05pm EST)</b> is also the best time to set<i> our powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse Intentions</i>. Doing so during a Solar Eclipse is a little different from the regular monthly New Moon process: we are setting those intentions for the whole 6-month Eclipse cycle, rather than just for the next 28 days.\r\n\r\nSo when is the best time to do this? With a Solar Eclipse it is best to wait 48 hours after the Eclipse has been exact before setting any intentions; as always, we also want to avoid any <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> phases.\r\n\r\nThis gives us two \"windows\" for our 6-month intention-setting (all times are EST, which is the New York timezone):\r\n\r\nThe first window is on <b>Saturday, Feb. 17th, between 4:05pm and 5:14pm.</b>\r\n\r\nThe<b> </b>second would be <b>between 7:05am on Sunday, Feb. 18th, and 4:05pm the following day (Monday, Feb. 19th). </b>\r\n\r\nMake them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the <strong>Aquarian</strong> energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nThis Solar Eclipse reminds us that to be fully alive requires us to constantly stretch, grow, and change. So, while writing your intentions, ask yourself: What would it take for me to release old patterns from the past? How might that free me to create a more powerful vision for the future?\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday early evening,</b> <b>at 5:14 pm EST,</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 14 hours, <b>until 7:05 am EST (Sunday morning)</b>. Use this intuitive time to explore any beliefs connected to past experiences that left you feeling disempowered: How could a compassionate approach to the past allow for a new perspective?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your Saturday evening and Sunday early morning ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Late Saturday evening at 11:28 pm EST </b><i>Mercury changes signs from freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> to creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i>.</b> It will journey through Pisces until <b>March 6<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b>. We are moving from the mind into the heart. For these next two weeks, we get a chance to communicate with compassion -- we see the commonalities between us all, rather than what separates us.\r\n\r\nWe seem to be connected to Source more easily during this time -- if we allow that energy to come through -- and our thinking will be very creative, imaginative and intuitive.\r\n\r\nThe key with this energy is to remain in the “here and now” and open up to a higher vibration. If we can do that, we will be able to download information from an intuitive place, rather than thinking things through. This could also be the reason why our mind is slowing down a bit and why we speak more softly.\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> also offers us an opportunity to let go of any mental structures, conditionings or fears that are no longer serving us. If you are not connected to your intuition, you may want to double check with other people, before signing any documents or buying any big-ticket items. Are you ready to connect to your intuition more fully? Can you allow for the unfolding process, trusting your higher Self more fully?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more talkative during this time. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you may need to learn to surrender to a slower pace and connect more fully to your heart and intuition.  </i>\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday (Feb. 18<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>): </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><b> </b>and<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><b> until 7:05am EST.</b>\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday morning at 7:05 am EST </b><i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries,</i></b> where it will remain <b>until Tuesday afternoon</b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday afternoon at 12:18 pm</b> <i>the Sun moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> where it will remain <b>until March 20th. </b>This brings our awareness to our sense of oneness with everyone and everything around us. We feel like sponges, able to pick up all energy around us; this also makes us more sensitive and emotional. We are more drawn towards expressing ourselves in a creative or spiritual way.\r\n\r\nMusic or energy healing gives us vitality and can heighten our own personal vibrations. We need to slow down a little and listen to our intuition more fully -- if we ignore our feelings and the subtle messages we are getting, we will most likely feel more anxious and somewhat frustrated. This could also be connected to the slow pace that our body or our surroundings are demanding of us.\r\n\r\nThe keyword here is \"allowing\": as best as you can, be aware of what you are resisting, moment to moment, and create some space -- allow it to be as it is. Notice when you are picking up someone else\'s feelings rather than your own.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces </i></b><i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, your vitality will depend on allowing things to flow and being gentle with yourself.</i>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\">Last but not least, </span><b>Sunday </b><span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\"><b>after </b></span><b>7:05am EST, </b> you have all day to set your Solar Eclipse <span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\">Intentions. </span>Make them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the <strong>Aquarian</strong> energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>.

As some of you already know, my online community has launched! I have been working on this for quite a while, and I am so excited that the day has finally come that I can introduce this to all of you!

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday</strong><b> afternoon</b>, our focus intensifies -- we might even get a little obsessed with a project or task -- as best as you can, take breaks and don\'t forget to practice a little self-care ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday evening,</strong> we get the opportunity to investigate our deepest motivations and align them with our long-term goals and achievements (if we are awake at this time, of course). We are capable of great focus for the next couple of hours. As with all opportunities in life, this one is not simply handed to us, we have to make something of it. Might deeper perspectives into your psyche move you closer to long-term goals?\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday (Feb. 13<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> <i>the Moon remains in practical, </i><i>accomplishment-oriented</i><i> </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> <b>until 10:11am EST</b> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday very early morning,</b> <b>at 12:43am EST,</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for about 9.5 hours, <b>until 10:11am EST</b>.You may be aware of two seemingly conflicting desires: On the one hand, a need for serious, diligent accomplishment -- and on the other, a desire to break free and rebel against obligations.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take some breaks, and \"let your freak flag fly\" -- just for a moment -- and revel in it! As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your morning ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday at 10:11 am EST</b> <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> where it will be <b>until Thursday evening</b>. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday early evening</b> a <i>challenging Mercury/Jupiter aspect</i> becomes exact at 5:39 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from</b> <b>Sunday and it will be strong until Thursday. </b>This aspect asks that we grow and evolve in the following areas: how we communicate our vision for the future and how much we share with others. We may have to find creative solutions to communicate; we may have to learn about our thinking process and conditioning.\r\n\r\nWe want to share ourselves without limitation. We are thus inclined to exaggeration, often unintended -- and might struggle to transform ideas into reality. The upside to all this: we can be extraordinarily funny, interesting and creative.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday </b><i>an opportune Sun/Uranus aspect</i><b> </b>becomes exact at 9:23pm EST. <b>We started to feel this aspect Sunday evening on, and it will be strong until Thursday night. </b>We have the opportunity to become aware of an original or unique approach to life. Flexibility is the key to success at this time; pleasant changes may be in store -- certainly unexpected ones ;-)\r\n\r\nWhat is your uniqueness? How could you express that proudly and authentically? As best as you can, watch out for messages from the Universe! Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us: We have to \"realize\" it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo</i></b><i> or</i><b><i> Aquarius </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday (Feb. 14<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> (Valentine’s Day) <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>all day</b> (see Tuesday late morning for details)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday morning</strong> is an opportunity to connect with others and explore actively the things that can bring us progress.\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday </b>is also the <i>last day before the Solar Eclipse in</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact. There is some potent energy coming our way; it would be wise to prepare ourselves to be transformed by it, allowing for our consciousness upgrade to be installed.\r\n\r\nThis is a good time to slow things down and go within. For many of us, this will be a stretch, as we want to do just the opposite: jump the gun, get started with something new, act impulsively, etc. This is quite common right before a Solar Eclipse. As best as you can, stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions and connect to your inner wisdom.\r\n\r\nIt comes down to this: just for now and just as best as you can... could you simply allow what is... to be? Could you simply be the “observer” until the upgrade is complete?\r\n\r\nRather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing things. Think back to late Aug. 2017 -- the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo. What did you start around then? How could you complete it, or move it to the next level?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take the days immediately before and after the Eclipse for meditation, contemplation, journaling — anything that supports an objective understanding of your own thoughts and visions.\r\n\r\nOf course if, like most of us, you have other obligations: take 5-minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, get quiet and be with yourself (i.e. your inspirational Self, your higher mind). Ask yourself: What might become possible if you gave this to yourself on a regular basis?\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday (Feb. 15<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>) </b>is a big day! <i>The Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>until 9:42pm EST</b> (see Tuesday late morning for details)\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday morning</b> an <i>opportune Mercury/Uranus aspect</i> becomes exact at 10:07am EST. <b>We started to feel this from aspect from Wednesday on, and it will be strong until Friday</b>.This is an opportunity to connect our thinking and communication to a brighter, more collaborative vision for the future.\r\n\r\nIt also brings an opportunity for insight, novelty, and some really unusual conversations. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to realize it.\r\n\r\nThis aspect also brings an opportunity to view things from a different perspective or put a new spin on \"old\" thinking. We like to connect in unusual ways; any group activities or brainstorming with like-minded people could generate amazing insights -- this might be a busy day. As best as you can, or want to... stay open to other dimensions ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> <i>(Mercury is the ruler of Virgo and Gemini; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\nOn <b>Thursday at 4:05pm EST, </b><i>a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse in 27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> becomes exact. </i>This is the beginning of both a new Moon cycle and an Eclipse cycle.  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\nEclipses take place approximately every 6 months; <i>Solar Eclipses</i> are extra-powerful New Moons that end one 19-year cycle and begin another — the last Solar Eclipse in this same degree of Aquarius was back on Feb. 16th, 1999. We are likely to experience a resonance between now and that time — \"resonant\", rather than identical — so think back to the Spring of 1999:\r\n\r\nWere there any major endings and beginnings? What was important back then? If there were a call this time to take those priorities to the next level… Where would that next level find you?\r\n\r\nIf you\'re looking for more guidance on those questions, I would suggest taking a look at your Natal Chart: the House placement of the Eclipse will indicate which area of life is the readiest for a new level of consciousness.\r\n\r\nIf that idea appeals, I suggest checking out my <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">30-minute class, \"How to Read My Birth Chart”</a> -- you might also want to purchase the video of the most recent Forecasting Forum -- we looked directly at our own birth charts to see how this Solar Eclipse will affect each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar, available on my website).\r\n\r\nOr...\r\n\r\n<b>Get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, <b>plus</b> a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\r\n\r\nAlthough we have experienced several Eclipses in the Leo/Aquarius polarity since last year, this will be the <i>first Solar Eclipse in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>. This points to a new beginning of some sort, with the visionary Aquarian energy impacting the area of life indicated by its house placement in our individual birth charts.\r\n\r\nSolar Eclipses reveal pathways that can take us to the next level of our evolution. They herald shifts in consciousness; the shift connected with this particular Eclipse will unfold over the next 6 months.\r\n\r\nThe Sun and Moon are connected to one of the Moon Nodes during an Eclipse; in this case, the South Node -- and <i>South Node Eclipses</i> can help us release energies or attachments that no longer serve our Soul’s evolution. Again, feel free to check out my webinar about the Eclipses to see where this new beginning and next level of your Soul\'s evolution takes place for you.\r\n\r\nEclipses are Uranian in nature; as such, they are times of uncertainty -- so pretty much anything could happen <b>between now and the end of Eclipse season (Feb. 25th).</b>\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, stay both grounded <i>and</i> flexible — and don\'t jump the gun: If you feel compelled to do something, do your best to simply observe the urge. The exception might be something that happens organically -- but if you are ambivalent about a possible action, better hold off at least until the end of Eclipse Season (Feb. 25th).\r\n\r\nEclipses bring major endings and beginnings. As best you can, trust that whatever is leaving is making space for something better -- the more willing we are to change, the easier it will be.\r\n\r\nThat said, projects and interactions that got underway prior to Eclipse season (i.e. before Jan. 21st) are another matter -- don’t stop your life just because it is Eclipse season ;-) Pay attention also to anything that got started at the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo, in August of last year.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Do I have a better understanding of what brings me joy? Am I more courageous and self-expressed?\r\n\r\nWith the <i>Solar Eclipse</i> in <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>, we have our eye on the future. The highest vibration of Aquarius gives us the opportunity to see a clear vision for our life -- and we are ready to make huge improvements.\r\n\r\n<strong>Aquarius</strong> also deals with the power of ideals, technology, and inventions. We are interested in the collective focus on changing group consciousness; we strive for equality, collaboration, progress. This eclipse invites us to bring this higher vibration to our ability to be courageous and joyful in our own right.\r\n\r\n<i>South Node Eclipses</i> invite us to become aware of the lower vibrations of a sign, so we can release those energies or attachments that no longer serve our evolution, and move toward the higher vibration of the sign -- in this case, that would obviously be Aquarius -- so what do the lower Aquarian vibrations look and feel like?\r\n\r\nAt a lower <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, we feel like outsiders -- as though we don\'t fit in, are maybe a little <i>too</i> different. We want to rebel against social structures that don\'t fit with our vision.\r\n\r\nWe get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not take responsibility for our part in the collective -- when we do not honor our individual genius, our unique contribution to society or our communities. Ask yourself:\r\n\r\nWhat stops me from connecting to my inner genius? What if I allowed myself to be both different <i>and</i> connected to others? What if taking responsibility for \"how things are\" was the perfect jump-start for a better future?\r\n\r\nTo move even further into that higher <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, try also asking yourself the following questions: Where am I called to make a difference? What could I, as an individual, do for humanity? And how might group consciousness help humanity make progress? Where can I begin?\r\n\r\nEvery single one of us has a special gift, a spark unique to us; when we access our inner genius and share it with the world, we can make quantum leaps of insight and embark on remarkable collaborations with others. Ask yourself: How does my inner genius communicate? Where does it want to show up?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) currently in <strong>Aries</strong>, sextiles the Sun, Moon, and Mercury in <strong>Aquarius</strong>. </i>This is a tremendous opportunity for all of us to become more aware of our individual impact on the collective: We are all agents of change. Already. Always.\r\n\r\nRight now, our individual capacity to effect change is far greater than we realize — especially for those of us with Uranus, Aquarius, or 11th house planets strongly emphasized in our birth chart — and when we team up with others who also care deeply about creating a better future, we can create real change.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How can I inspire others to foster progress? What becomes possible when we all connect with the intention to create meaningful change for everyone? For all living things?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong> squares the Solar Eclipse, sextiles Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, and trines Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong>. </i>This combo invites us to stretch ourselves for the duration of this Eclipse cycle -- to grow beyond what we currently know ourselves to be -- it supports our ability to build a more meaningful future and allows us to engage more fully in our current healing process.\r\n\r\nHere\'s a good start: We all have \"survival tactics\" we formed in response to past circumstances. Ask yourself: What if I expanded my awareness and comprehension of my personal survival tactics by just 5%? What might a new perspective on my fears and defenses show me? What if I relentlessly questioned old beliefs about intimate or financial partnerships? What might I discover about what has become true in the meantime? If I genuinely allowed this insight to change my behaviors and expectations, what might that look like?\r\n\r\nAs always when Chiron is involved, aim for wholeness, forgiveness — above all, keep a courageously open heart — our light shines all the brighter when all of our authentic self is visible, even the shadowy parts :-)\r\n\r\n<i>Eclipses</i> are a time for clarifying and affirming our highest path. We are bound to experience a release -- and a recalibration: “old” codes will get deleted and new programming downloaded. This is especially true when connected with our vision for the future (and for the collective).\r\n\r\nSuppressing or denying the unique gifts we each bring to the collective experience is even less wise than before; we are more aware than ever that we <b>are interconnected</b> and thus every single one of us contributes to the human experience and is capable of making a difference on this shared journey.\r\n\r\nSince Eclipse season continues until Feb. 25th, I highly recommend again that you treat yourself to the video of my most recent Forecasting Forum -- we covered the Eclipses, including this Solar Eclipse in <b>Aquarius</b>, looking directly at our own birth charts to see how this affects each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar on my website).\r\n\r\nOr...\r\n\r\nYou may recall that I now offer membership plans -- you could <b>get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, plus a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum, by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\r\n\r\n<b>Between now and Feb. 25th</b>, allow for the new templates to download; stay centered and do your best to ground from within. Try using conscious breathing, flexibility -- and best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body… And if nothing else, remember: this won\'t last forever -- in another two weeks, the downloads are complete ;-)  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">Again, I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in one of the following placements: 22-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, Scorpio, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly.</i>\r\n\r\nNow let’s talk “Intentions” :-) Regular readers will know that we usually use the time of the New Moon to set intentions for the coming month.\r\n\r\nWith a Solar Eclipse, we want to <b>wait 48 hours before setting our intentions </b>-- in Saturdays Forecast, I’ll be talking about setting some powerful intentions, not just for the next month as is usual for a New Moon, but for the next <i>six</i> months -- and I\'ll give you the very best times for setting them. <i></i>\r\n<i></i>\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Thursday late afternoon, at 4:05pm EST,</b> at the same time as the New Moon becomes exact, we also enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 6 hours, <b>until 9:42 pm EST</b>. Use this intuitive time to go within and meditate or pray/give thanks/converse with your higher Self.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your Thursday evening ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday evening,  </b><i>an opportune Venus/Saturn aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:19 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday night and it will stay strong until Saturday. </b>This aspect gives us an opportunity to bring a sense of realism to our relationships, values, and financial affairs: We are more able to see what really needs to be dealt with in those areas and take responsibility for our handling of them.\r\n\r\nOn a financial level, we have an opportunity to see more clearly when and how we might make long-term investments. There\'s no need to rush anything; think it through carefully and responsibly -- do the \"due diligence\". Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us, we have to \"take\" it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 4-8 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)</i>.\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday evening at 9:42 pm EST,</b> <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces,</i></b><i> </i>where it will journey <b>until Sunday morning</b>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<b>Friday (Feb. 16<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>) </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <b>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday morning</strong>, we get an opportunity to be wholly present -- and also to focus on practicalities and long-term plans. As best as you can, bring a sense of flow and faith to your business dealings.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning</strong>, we have a chance to connect with other people from our compassionate heart. If we heed intuition and allow for all things to flow freely, we may discover that the Universe is always taking care of us ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late evening,</strong> we feel a need to go within and slow down -- and at the same time, we also want to move fast and have new experiences. This tension clearly invites us to stretch a little, and to seek resolution via creative solutions -- the key here is to listen to our intuition, so we don\'t drive ourselves or others crazy.\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Friday late evening,</strong> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday</strong> is also Chinese New Year. I am not very well-versed in Chinese astrology, so I\'ll just share an excerpt from a newsletter I received last week: \"Today is the start of the Chinese year of the Earth Dog. In Chinese tradition, Earth dogs are faithful, considerate and well-disciplined.\" -- Astro Butterfly\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday (Feb. 17<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>): </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday morning,</b> <i>a challenging Mars/Neptune aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:20 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Sunday evening and it will be strong until next week Thursday morning</b>. This aspect is asking us to stretch ourselves, in order to resolve a tension between the things we want to go after, versus our feelings about a higher, spiritual calling. We may be chasing a dream... or a fantasy.\r\n\r\nOrdinary life may seem drab and uninteresting to us right now. We tend to either over- or underestimate our own power and abilities. We want something that stirs our imagination: Some vision or ideal or dream to motivate us.\r\n\r\nWe have a strong urge to act out our fantasies or live out our dream -- and we have the energy now to DO that which others only talk or dream about -- but we tend to feel scattered. As best as you can, slow down and listen to your intuition before aimlessly zooming ahead. Inspire yourself and others.\r\n\r\n<i>Most impacted by this aspect: those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 10-16 degrees of</i><b><i> Sagittarius, Pisces</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Gemini, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday early morning, </b><i>a Sun/Mercury alignment</i> <i>in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact at 7:27 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday evening on, and it will be strong until next week Tuesday evening. </b>This aspect indicates a confident mind and an analytical approach to life. Intelligence and communication abilities are strong at this time; however, we may not listen as well as the other speaks -- we might be too busy thinking about what to say next.\r\n\r\nGiven that this alignment takes place in <strong>Aquarius</strong>, we may feel particularly cool and collected, detached even -- do your best to avoid arrogance or rigidity of thought.\r\n\r\nWe want an active role in communications -- it\'s very hard for us to passively listen and absorb information right now. What we say or write now is impactful, so choose your words wisely: If people hung on your every word, what would you say then? What would you hold back from saying?\r\n\r\nOur opinions are strong and our thinking independent -- and we\'re proud of both -- so our egos may get bruised if we don\'t feel \"heard\". As best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have a different opinion and that\'s ok.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 26-29 degrees of  </i><strong><i>Aquarius, Leo, Scorpio, Taurus, </i></strong><i>or</i><strong><i> </i></strong><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\">Pisces, Virgo, </b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo, Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday</b><b> afternoon (after 4:05pm EST)</b> is also the best time to set<i> our powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse Intentions</i>. Doing so during a Solar Eclipse is a little different from the regular monthly New Moon process: we are setting those intentions for the whole 6-month Eclipse cycle, rather than just for the next 28 days.\r\n\r\nSo when is the best time to do this? With a Solar Eclipse it is best to wait 48 hours after the Eclipse has been exact before setting any intentions; as always, we also want to avoid any <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> phases.\r\n\r\nThis gives us two \"windows\" for our 6-month intention-setting (all times are EST, which is the New York timezone):\r\n\r\nThe first window is on <b>Saturday, Feb. 17th, between 4:05pm and 5:14pm.</b>\r\n\r\nThe<b> </b>second would be <b>between 7:05am on Sunday, Feb. 18th, and 4:05pm the following day (Monday, Feb. 19th). </b>\r\n\r\nMake them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the <strong>Aquarian</strong> energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nThis Solar Eclipse reminds us that to be fully alive requires us to constantly stretch, grow, and change. So, while writing your intentions, ask yourself: What would it take for me to release old patterns from the past? How might that free me to create a more powerful vision for the future?\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday early evening,</b> <b>at 5:14 pm EST,</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 14 hours, <b>until 7:05 am EST (Sunday morning)</b>. Use this intuitive time to explore any beliefs connected to past experiences that left you feeling disempowered: How could a compassionate approach to the past allow for a new perspective?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your Saturday evening and Sunday early morning ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Late Saturday evening at 11:28 pm EST </b><i>Mercury changes signs from freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> to creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i>.</b> It will journey through Pisces until <b>March 6<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b>. We are moving from the mind into the heart. For these next two weeks, we get a chance to communicate with compassion -- we see the commonalities between us all, rather than what separates us.\r\n\r\nWe seem to be connected to Source more easily during this time -- if we allow that energy to come through -- and our thinking will be very creative, imaginative and intuitive.\r\n\r\nThe key with this energy is to remain in the “here and now” and open up to a higher vibration. If we can do that, we will be able to download information from an intuitive place, rather than thinking things through. This could also be the reason why our mind is slowing down a bit and why we speak more softly.\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> also offers us an opportunity to let go of any mental structures, conditionings or fears that are no longer serving us. If you are not connected to your intuition, you may want to double check with other people, before signing any documents or buying any big-ticket items. Are you ready to connect to your intuition more fully? Can you allow for the unfolding process, trusting your higher Self more fully?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more talkative during this time. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you may need to learn to surrender to a slower pace and connect more fully to your heart and intuition.  </i>\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday (Feb. 18<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>): </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><b> </b>and<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><b> until 7:05am EST.</b>\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday morning at 7:05 am EST </b><i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries,</i></b> where it will remain <b>until Tuesday afternoon</b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday afternoon at 12:18 pm</b> <i>the Sun moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> where it will remain <b>until March 20th. </b>This brings our awareness to our sense of oneness with everyone and everything around us. We feel like sponges, able to pick up all energy around us; this also makes us more sensitive and emotional. We are more drawn towards expressing ourselves in a creative or spiritual way.\r\n\r\nMusic or energy healing gives us vitality and can heighten our own personal vibrations. We need to slow down a little and listen to our intuition more fully -- if we ignore our feelings and the subtle messages we are getting, we will most likely feel more anxious and somewhat frustrated. This could also be connected to the slow pace that our body or our surroundings are demanding of us.\r\n\r\nThe keyword here is \"allowing\": as best as you can, be aware of what you are resisting, moment to moment, and create some space -- allow it to be as it is. Notice when you are picking up someone else\'s feelings rather than your own.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces </i></b><i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, your vitality will depend on allowing things to flow and being gentle with yourself.</i>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\">Last but not least, </span><b>Sunday </b><span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\"><b>after </b></span><b>7:05am EST, </b> you have all day to set your Solar Eclipse <span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\">Intentions. </span>Make them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the <strong>Aquarian</strong> energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>.

I could definitely feel the Eclipse energies... and self-care was soooo very needed.\r\n\r\n<b>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have an important announcement:\r\n</b>Good news! As some of you already know, my online community has launched! I have been working on this for quite a while, and I am so excited that the day has finally come that I can introduce this to all of you! If you love Astrology, or simply want to explore yourself on a deeper level and live life more consciously, this community is for you. <b>Why join now? </b>\r\n\r\n<b>For the next four weeks</b> as I get the kinks worked out of my new membership site -- and as a huge thank you for being a part of my online community already -- I\'ll be offering a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\"><b>super-dooper special launch discount</b></a> on site membership. This is only for those of you who are already part of my mailing list or have joined me on my social media platforms. For more info about the new online community and it\'s benefits, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/aEhibk\">click here</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>It get’s better:</strong> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\">join the Star or SuperStar Membership</a> <strong>before Feb. 25th</strong>, you will also receive my latest Forecasting Forum — about the Eclipses and how they impact you personally — for FREE ;-)\r\n\r\nThere will be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC Phases</a> this week: Monday night/Tuesday very early morning (for 9.5 hours), Thursday afternoon (for almost 6 hours), and Saturday early evening until Sunday morning (for almost 14 hours).\r\n\r\n<b>Monday (February 12<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> <i>the Moon remains in </i><i>practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> <b>all day. </b>It will journey there <b>until Tuesday late morning. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday</strong><b> afternoon</b>, our focus intensifies -- we might even get a little obsessed with a project or task -- as best as you can, take breaks and don\'t forget to practice a little self-care ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday evening,</strong> we get the opportunity to investigate our deepest motivations and align them with our long-term goals and achievements (if we are awake at this time, of course). We are capable of great focus for the next couple of hours. As with all opportunities in life, this one is not simply handed to us, we have to make something of it. Might deeper perspectives into your psyche move you closer to long-term goals?\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday (Feb. 13<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> <i>the Moon remains in practical, </i><i>accomplishment-oriented</i><i> </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> <b>until 10:11am EST</b> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday very early morning,</b> <b>at 12:43am EST,</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for about 9.5 hours, <b>until 10:11am EST</b>.You may be aware of two seemingly conflicting desires: On the one hand, a need for serious, diligent accomplishment -- and on the other, a desire to break free and rebel against obligations.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take some breaks, and \"let your freak flag fly\" -- just for a moment -- and revel in it! As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your morning ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday at 10:11 am EST</b> <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> where it will be <b>until Thursday evening</b>. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday early evening</b> a <i>challenging Mercury/Jupiter aspect</i> becomes exact at 5:39 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from</b> <b>Sunday and it will be strong until Thursday. </b>This aspect asks that we grow and evolve in the following areas: how we communicate our vision for the future and how much we share with others. We may have to find creative solutions to communicate; we may have to learn about our thinking process and conditioning.\r\n\r\nWe want to share ourselves without limitation. We are thus inclined to exaggeration, often unintended -- and might struggle to transform ideas into reality. The upside to all this: we can be extraordinarily funny, interesting and creative.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday </b><i>an opportune Sun/Uranus aspect</i><b> </b>becomes exact at 9:23pm EST. <b>We started to feel this aspect Sunday evening on, and it will be strong until Thursday night. </b>We have the opportunity to become aware of an original or unique approach to life. Flexibility is the key to success at this time; pleasant changes may be in store -- certainly unexpected ones ;-)\r\n\r\nWhat is your uniqueness? How could you express that proudly and authentically? As best as you can, watch out for messages from the Universe! Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us: We have to \"realize\" it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo</i></b><i> or</i><b><i> Aquarius </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday (Feb. 14<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> (Valentine’s Day) <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>all day</b> (see Tuesday late morning for details)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday morning</strong> is an opportunity to connect with others and explore actively the things that can bring us progress.\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday </b>is also the <i>last day before the Solar Eclipse in</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact. There is some potent energy coming our way; it would be wise to prepare ourselves to be transformed by it, allowing for our consciousness upgrade to be installed.\r\n\r\nThis is a good time to slow things down and go within. For many of us, this will be a stretch, as we want to do just the opposite: jump the gun, get started with something new, act impulsively, etc. This is quite common right before a Solar Eclipse. As best as you can, stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions and connect to your inner wisdom.\r\n\r\nIt comes down to this: just for now and just as best as you can... could you simply allow what is... to be? Could you simply be the “observer” until the upgrade is complete?\r\n\r\nRather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing things. Think back to late Aug. 2017 -- the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo. What did you start around then? How could you complete it, or move it to the next level?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take the days immediately before and after the Eclipse for meditation, contemplation, journaling — anything that supports an objective understanding of your own thoughts and visions.\r\n\r\nOf course if, like most of us, you have other obligations: take 5-minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, get quiet and be with yourself (i.e. your inspirational Self, your higher mind). Ask yourself: What might become possible if you gave this to yourself on a regular basis?\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday (Feb. 15<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>) </b>is a big day! <i>The Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>until 9:42pm EST</b> (see Tuesday late morning for details)\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday morning</b> an <i>opportune Mercury/Uranus aspect</i> becomes exact at 10:07am EST. <b>We started to feel this from aspect from Wednesday on, and it will be strong until Friday</b>.This is an opportunity to connect our thinking and communication to a brighter, more collaborative vision for the future.\r\n\r\nIt also brings an opportunity for insight, novelty, and some really unusual conversations. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to realize it.\r\n\r\nThis aspect also brings an opportunity to view things from a different perspective or put a new spin on \"old\" thinking. We like to connect in unusual ways; any group activities or brainstorming with like-minded people could generate amazing insights -- this might be a busy day. As best as you can, or want to... stay open to other dimensions ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> <i>(Mercury is the ruler of Virgo and Gemini; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\nOn <b>Thursday at 4:05pm EST, </b><i>a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse in 27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> becomes exact. </i>This is the beginning of both a new Moon cycle and an Eclipse cycle.  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\nEclipses take place approximately every 6 months; <i>Solar Eclipses</i> are extra-powerful New Moons that end one 19-year cycle and begin another — the last Solar Eclipse in this same degree of Aquarius was back on Feb. 16th, 1999. We are likely to experience a resonance between now and that time — \"resonant\", rather than identical — so think back to the Spring of 1999:\r\n\r\nWere there any major endings and beginnings? What was important back then? If there were a call this time to take those priorities to the next level… Where would that next level find you?\r\n\r\nIf you\'re looking for more guidance on those questions, I would suggest taking a look at your Natal Chart: the House placement of the Eclipse will indicate which area of life is the readiest for a new level of consciousness.\r\n\r\nIf that idea appeals, I suggest checking out my <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">30-minute class, \"How to Read My Birth Chart”</a> -- you might also want to purchase the video of the most recent <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">Forecasting Forum</a> -- we looked directly at our own birth charts to see how this Solar Eclipse will affect each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar, available <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">on my website</a>).\r\n\r\nOr...\r\n\r\n<b>Get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, <b>plus</b> a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\r\n\r\nAlthough we have experienced several Eclipses in the Leo/Aquarius polarity since last year, this will be the <i>first Solar Eclipse in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>. This points to a new beginning of some sort, with the visionary Aquarian energy impacting the area of life indicated by its house placement in our individual birth charts.\r\n\r\nSolar Eclipses reveal pathways that can take us to the next level of our evolution. They herald shifts in consciousness; the shift connected with this particular Eclipse will unfold over the next 6 months.\r\n\r\nThe Sun and Moon are connected to one of the Moon Nodes during an Eclipse; in this case, the South Node -- and <i>South Node Eclipses</i> can help us release energies or attachments that no longer serve our Soul’s evolution. Again, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">feel free to check out my webinar about the Eclipses</a> to see where this new beginning and next level of your Soul\'s evolution takes place for you.\r\n\r\nEclipses are Uranian in nature; as such, they are times of uncertainty -- so pretty much anything could happen <b>between now and the end of Eclipse season (Feb. 25th).</b>\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, stay both grounded <i>and</i> flexible — and don\'t jump the gun: If you feel compelled to do something, do your best to simply observe the urge. The exception might be something that happens organically -- but if you are ambivalent about a possible action, better hold off at least until the end of Eclipse Season (Feb. 25th).\r\n\r\nEclipses bring major endings and beginnings. As best you can, trust that whatever is leaving is making space for something better -- the more willing we are to change, the easier it will be.\r\n\r\nThat said, projects and interactions that got underway prior to Eclipse season (i.e. before Jan. 21st) are another matter -- don’t stop your life just because it is Eclipse season ;-) Pay attention also to anything that got started at the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo, in August of last year.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Do I have a better understanding of what brings me joy? Am I more courageous and self-expressed?\r\n\r\nWith the <i>Solar Eclipse</i> in <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>, we have our eye on the future. The highest vibration of Aquarius gives us the opportunity to see a clear vision for our life -- and we are ready to make huge improvements.\r\n\r\n<strong>Aquarius</strong> also deals with the power of ideals, technology, and inventions. We are interested in the collective focus on changing group consciousness; we strive for equality, collaboration, progress. This eclipse invites us to bring this higher vibration to our ability to be courageous and joyful in our own right.\r\n\r\n<i>South Node Eclipses</i> invite us to become aware of the lower vibrations of a sign, so we can release those energies or attachments that no longer serve our evolution, and move toward the higher vibration of the sign -- in this case, that would obviously be Aquarius -- so what do the lower Aquarian vibrations look and feel like?\r\n\r\nAt a lower <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, we feel like outsiders -- as though we don\'t fit in, are maybe a little <i>too</i> different. We want to rebel against social structures that don\'t fit with our vision.\r\n\r\nWe get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not take responsibility for our part in the collective -- when we do not honor our individual genius, our unique contribution to society or our communities. Ask yourself:\r\n\r\nWhat stops me from connecting to my inner genius? What if I allowed myself to be both different <i>and</i> connected to others? What if taking responsibility for \"how things are\" was the perfect jump-start for a better future?\r\n\r\nTo move even further into that higher <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, try also asking yourself the following questions: Where am I called to make a difference? What could I, as an individual, do for humanity? And how might group consciousness help humanity make progress? Where can I begin?\r\n\r\nEvery single one of us has a special gift, a spark unique to us; when we access our inner genius and share it with the world, we can make quantum leaps of insight and embark on remarkable collaborations with others. Ask yourself: How does my inner genius communicate? Where does it want to show up?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) currently in <strong>Aries</strong>, sextiles the Sun, Moon, and Mercury in <strong>Aquarius</strong>. </i>This is a tremendous opportunity for all of us to become more aware of our individual impact on the collective: We are all agents of change. Already. Always.\r\n\r\nRight now, our individual capacity to effect change is far greater than we realize — especially for those of us with Uranus, Aquarius, or 11th house planets strongly emphasized in our birth chart — and when we team up with others who also care deeply about creating a better future, we can create real change.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How can I inspire others to foster progress? What becomes possible when we all connect with the intention to create meaningful change for everyone? For all living things?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong> squares the Solar Eclipse, sextiles Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, and trines Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong>. </i>This combo invites us to stretch ourselves for the duration of this Eclipse cycle -- to grow beyond what we currently know ourselves to be -- it supports our ability to build a more meaningful future and allows us to engage more fully in our current healing process.\r\n\r\nHere\'s a good start: We all have \"survival tactics\" we formed in response to past circumstances. Ask yourself: What if I expanded my awareness and comprehension of my personal survival tactics by just 5%? What might a new perspective on my fears and defenses show me? What if I relentlessly questioned old beliefs about intimate or financial partnerships? What might I discover about what has become true in the meantime? If I genuinely allowed this insight to change my behaviors and expectations, what might that look like?\r\n\r\nAs always when Chiron is involved, aim for wholeness, forgiveness — above all, keep a courageously open heart — our light shines all the brighter when all of our authentic self is visible, even the shadowy parts :-)\r\n\r\n<i>Eclipses</i> are a time for clarifying and affirming our highest path. We are bound to experience a release -- and a recalibration: “old” codes will get deleted and new programming downloaded. This is especially true when connected with our vision for the future (and for the collective).\r\n\r\nSuppressing or denying the unique gifts we each bring to the collective experience is even less wise than before; we are more aware than ever that we <b>are interconnected</b> and thus every single one of us contributes to the human experience and is capable of making a difference on this shared journey.\r\n\r\nSince Eclipse season continues until Feb. 25th, I highly recommend again that you treat yourself to the video of my most recent <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">Forecasting Forum</a> (<a href=\"https://goo.gl/uB8R7j\">https://goo.gl/uB8R7j</a>) -- we covered the Eclipses, including this Solar Eclipse in <b>Aquarius</b>, looking directly at our own birth charts to see how this affects each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">on my website</a>).\r\n\r\nOr...\r\n\r\nYou may recall that I now offer membership plans -- you could <b>get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, plus a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum, by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\r\n\r\n<b>Between now and Feb. 25th</b>, allow for the new templates to download; stay centered and do your best to ground from within. Try using conscious breathing, flexibility -- and best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body… And if nothing else, remember: this won\'t last forever -- in another two weeks, the downloads are complete ;-)  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">Again, I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in one of the following placements: 22-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, Scorpio, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly.</i>\r\n\r\nNow let’s talk “Intentions” :-) Regular readers will know that we usually use the time of the New Moon to set intentions for the coming month.\r\n\r\nWith a Solar Eclipse, we want to <b>wait 48 hours before setting our intentions </b>-- in Saturdays Forecast, I’ll be talking about setting some powerful intentions, not just for the next month as is usual for a New Moon, but for the next <i>six</i> months -- and I\'ll give you the very best times for setting them. <i></i>\r\n<i></i>\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Thursday late afternoon, at 4:05pm EST,</b> at the same time as the New Moon becomes exact, we also enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 6 hours, <b>until 9:42 pm EST</b>. Use this intuitive time to go within and meditate or pray/give thanks/converse with your higher Self.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your Thursday evening ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday evening,  </b><i>an opportune Venus/Saturn aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:19 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday night and it will stay strong until Saturday. </b>This aspect gives us an opportunity to bring a sense of realism to our relationships, values, and financial affairs: We are more able to see what really needs to be dealt with in those areas and take responsibility for our handling of them.\r\n\r\nOn a financial level, we have an opportunity to see more clearly when and how we might make long-term investments. There\'s no need to rush anything; think it through carefully and responsibly -- do the \"due diligence\". Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us, we have to \"take\" it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 4-8 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)</i>.\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday evening at 9:42 pm EST,</b> <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces,</i></b><i> </i>where it will journey <b>until Sunday morning</b>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<b>Friday (Feb. 16<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>) </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <b>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday morning</strong>, we get an opportunity to be wholly present -- and also to focus on practicalities and long-term plans. As best as you can, bring a sense of flow and faith to your business dealings.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning</strong>, we have a chance to connect with other people from our compassionate heart. If we heed intuition and allow for all things to flow freely, we may discover that the Universe is always taking care of us ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late evening,</strong> we feel a need to go within and slow down -- and at the same time, we also want to move fast and have new experiences. This tension clearly invites us to stretch a little, and to seek resolution via creative solutions -- the key here is to listen to our intuition, so we don\'t drive ourselves or others crazy.\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Friday late evening,</strong> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday</strong> is also Chinese New Year. I am not very well-versed in Chinese astrology, so I\'ll just share an excerpt from a newsletter I received last week: \"Today is the start of the Chinese year of the Earth Dog. In Chinese tradition, Earth dogs are faithful, considerate and well-disciplined.\" -- Astro Butterfly\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday (Feb. 17<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>): </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday morning,</b> <i>a challenging Mars/Neptune aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:20 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Sunday evening and it will be strong until next week Thursday morning</b>. This aspect is asking us to stretch ourselves, in order to resolve a tension between the things we want to go after, versus our feelings about a higher, spiritual calling. We may be chasing a dream... or a fantasy.\r\n\r\nOrdinary life may seem drab and uninteresting to us right now. We tend to either over- or underestimate our own power and abilities. We want something that stirs our imagination: Some vision or ideal or dream to motivate us.\r\n\r\nWe have a strong urge to act out our fantasies or live out our dream -- and we have the energy now to DO that which others only talk or dream about -- but we tend to feel scattered. As best as you can, slow down and listen to your intuition before aimlessly zooming ahead. Inspire yourself and others.\r\n\r\n<i>Most impacted by this aspect: those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 10-16 degrees of</i><b><i> Sagittarius, Pisces</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Gemini, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday early morning, </b><i>a Sun/Mercury alignment</i> <i>in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact at 7:27 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday evening on, and it will be strong until next week Tuesday evening. </b>This aspect indicates a confident mind and an analytical approach to life. Intelligence and communication abilities are strong at this time; however, we may not listen as well as the other speaks -- we might be too busy thinking about what to say next.\r\n\r\nGiven that this alignment takes place in <strong>Aquarius</strong>, we may feel particularly cool and collected, detached even -- do your best to avoid arrogance or rigidity of thought.\r\n\r\nWe want an active role in communications -- it\'s very hard for us to passively listen and absorb information right now. What we say or write now is impactful, so choose your words wisely: If people hung on your every word, what would you say then? What would you hold back from saying?\r\n\r\nOur opinions are strong and our thinking independent -- and we\'re proud of both -- so our egos may get bruised if we don\'t feel \"heard\". As best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have a different opinion and that\'s ok.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 26-29 degrees of  </i><strong><i>Aquarius, Leo, Scorpio, Taurus, </i></strong><i>or</i><strong><i> </i></strong><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\">Pisces, Virgo, </b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo, Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday</b><b> afternoon (after 4:05pm EST)</b> is also the best time to set<i> our powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse Intentions</i>. Doing so during a Solar Eclipse is a little different from the regular monthly New Moon process: we are setting those intentions for the whole 6-month Eclipse cycle, rather than just for the next 28 days.\r\n\r\nSo when is the best time to do this? With a Solar Eclipse it is best to wait 48 hours after the Eclipse has been exact before setting any intentions; as always, we also want to avoid any <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> phases.\r\n\r\nThis gives us two \"windows\" for our 6-month intention-setting (all times are EST, which is the New York timezone):\r\n\r\nThe first window is on <b>Saturday, Feb. 17th, between 4:05pm and 5:14pm.</b>\r\n\r\nThe<b> </b>second would be <b>between 7:05am on Sunday, Feb. 18th, and 4:05pm the following day (Monday, Feb. 19th). </b>\r\n\r\nMake them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the <strong>Aquarian</strong> energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nThis Solar Eclipse reminds us that to be fully alive requires us to constantly stretch, grow, and change. So, while writing your intentions, ask yourself: What would it take for me to release old patterns from the past? How might that free me to create a more powerful vision for the future?\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday early evening,</b> <b>at 5:14 pm EST,</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 14 hours, <b>until 7:05 am EST (Sunday morning)</b>. Use this intuitive time to explore any beliefs connected to past experiences that left you feeling disempowered: How could a compassionate approach to the past allow for a new perspective?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your Saturday evening and Sunday early morning ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Late Saturday evening at 11:28 pm EST </b><i>Mercury changes signs from freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> to creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i>.</b> It will journey through Pisces until <b>March 6<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b>. We are moving from the mind into the heart. For these next two weeks, we get a chance to communicate with compassion -- we see the commonalities between us all, rather than what separates us.\r\n\r\nWe seem to be connected to Source more easily during this time -- if we allow that energy to come through -- and our thinking will be very creative, imaginative and intuitive.\r\n\r\nThe key with this energy is to remain in the “here and now” and open up to a higher vibration. If we can do that, we will be able to download information from an intuitive place, rather than thinking things through. This could also be the reason why our mind is slowing down a bit and why we speak more softly.\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> also offers us an opportunity to let go of any mental structures, conditionings or fears that are no longer serving us. If you are not connected to your intuition, you may want to double check with other people, before signing any documents or buying any big-ticket items. Are you ready to connect to your intuition more fully? Can you allow for the unfolding process, trusting your higher Self more fully?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more talkative during this time. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you may need to learn to surrender to a slower pace and connect more fully to your heart and intuition.  </i>\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday (Feb. 18<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>): </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><b> </b>and<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><b> until 7:05am EST.</b>\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday morning at 7:05 am EST </b><i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries,</i></b> where it will remain <b>until Tuesday afternoon</b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday afternoon at 12:18 pm</b> <i>the Sun moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> where it will remain <b>until March 20th. </b>This brings our awareness to our sense of oneness with everyone and everything around us. We feel like sponges, able to pick up all energy around us; this also makes us more sensitive and emotional. We are more drawn towards expressing ourselves in a creative or spiritual way.\r\n\r\nMusic or energy healing gives us vitality and can heighten our own personal vibrations. We need to slow down a little and listen to our intuition more fully -- if we ignore our feelings and the subtle messages we are getting, we will most likely feel more anxious and somewhat frustrated. This could also be connected to the slow pace that our body or our surroundings are demanding of us.\r\n\r\nThe keyword here is \"allowing\": as best as you can, be aware of what you are resisting, moment to moment, and create some space -- allow it to be as it is. Notice when you are picking up someone else\'s feelings rather than your own.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces </i></b><i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, your vitality will depend on allowing things to flow and being gentle with yourself.</i>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\">Last but not least, </span><b>Sunday </b><span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\"><b>after </b></span><b>7:05am EST, </b> you have all day to set your Solar Eclipse <span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\">Intentions. </span>Make them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the <strong>Aquarian</strong> energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>.

After all, all is well, no matter what the mind keeps saying about it. I could definitely feel the Eclipse energies... and self-care was soooo very needed.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<b>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have an important announcement:\r\n</b>Good news! As some of you already know, my online community has launched! I have been working on this for quite a while, and I am so excited that the day has finally come that I can introduce this to all of you! If you love Astrology, or simply want to explore yourself on a deeper level and live life more consciously, this community is for you. <b>Why join now? </b>\r\n\r\n<b>For the next four weeks</b> as I get the kinks worked out of my new membership site -- and as a huge thank you for being a part of my online community already -- I\'ll be offering a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\"><b>super-dooper special launch discount</b></a> on site membership. This is only for those of you who are already part of my mailing list or have joined me on my social media platforms. For more info about the new online community and it\'s benefits, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/aEhibk\">click here</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>It get’s better:</strong> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\">join the Star or SuperStar Membership</a> <strong>before Feb. 25th</strong>, you will also receive my latest Forecasting Forum — about the Eclipses and how they impact you personally — for FREE ;-)\r\n\r\nThere will be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC Phases</a> this week: Monday night/Tuesday very early morning (for 9.5 hours), Thursday afternoon (for almost 6 hours), and Saturday early evening until Sunday morning (for almost 14 hours).\r\n\r\n<b>Monday (February 12<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> <i>the Moon remains in </i><i>practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> <b>all day. </b>It will journey there <b>until Tuesday late morning. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.<!--more-->\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday</strong><b> afternoon</b>, our focus intensifies -- we might even get a little obsessed with a project or task -- as best as you can, take breaks and don\'t forget to practice a little self-care ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday evening,</strong> we get the opportunity to investigate our deepest motivations and align them with our long-term goals and achievements (if we are awake at this time, of course). We are capable of great focus for the next couple of hours. As with all opportunities in life, this one is not simply handed to us, we have to make something of it. Might deeper perspectives into your psyche move you closer to long-term goals?\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday (Feb. 13<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> <i>the Moon remains in practical, </i><i>accomplishment-oriented</i><i> </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> <b>until 10:11am EST</b> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday very early morning,</b> <b>at 12:43am EST,</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for about 9.5 hours, <b>until 10:11am EST</b>.You may be aware of two seemingly conflicting desires: On the one hand, a need for serious, diligent accomplishment -- and on the other, a desire to break free and rebel against obligations.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take some breaks, and \"let your freak flag fly\" -- just for a moment -- and revel in it! As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your morning ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday at 10:11 am EST</b> <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> where it will be <b>until Thursday evening</b>. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday early evening</b> a <i>challenging Mercury/Jupiter aspect</i> becomes exact at 5:39 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from</b> <b>Sunday and it will be strong until Thursday. </b>This aspect asks that we grow and evolve in the following areas: how we communicate our vision for the future and how much we share with others. We may have to find creative solutions to communicate; we may have to learn about our thinking process and conditioning.\r\n\r\nWe want to share ourselves without limitation. We are thus inclined to exaggeration, often unintended -- and might struggle to transform ideas into reality. The upside to all this: we can be extraordinarily funny, interesting and creative.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday </b><i>an opportune Sun/Uranus aspect</i><b> </b>becomes exact at 9:23pm EST. <b>We started to feel this aspect Sunday evening on, and it will be strong until Thursday night. </b>We have the opportunity to become aware of an original or unique approach to life. Flexibility is the key to success at this time; pleasant changes may be in store -- certainly unexpected ones ;-)\r\n\r\nWhat is your uniqueness? How could you express that proudly and authentically? As best as you can, watch out for messages from the Universe! Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us: We have to \"realize\" it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo</i></b><i> or</i><b><i> Aquarius </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday (Feb. 14<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> (Valentine’s Day) <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>all day</b> (see Tuesday late morning for details)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday morning</strong> is an opportunity to connect with others and explore actively the things that can bring us progress.\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday </b>is also the <i>last day before the Solar Eclipse in</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact. There is some potent energy coming our way; it would be wise to prepare ourselves to be transformed by it, allowing for our consciousness upgrade to be installed.\r\n\r\nThis is a good time to slow things down and go within. For many of us, this will be a stretch, as we want to do just the opposite: jump the gun, get started with something new, act impulsively, etc. This is quite common right before a Solar Eclipse. As best as you can, stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions and connect to your inner wisdom.\r\n\r\nIt comes down to this: just for now and just as best as you can... could you simply allow what is... to be? Could you simply be the “observer” until the upgrade is complete?\r\n\r\nRather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing things. Think back to late Aug. 2017 -- the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo. What did you start around then? How could you complete it, or move it to the next level?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take the days immediately before and after the Eclipse for meditation, contemplation, journaling — anything that supports an objective understanding of your own thoughts and visions.\r\n\r\nOf course if, like most of us, you have other obligations: take 5-minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, get quiet and be with yourself (i.e. your inspirational Self, your higher mind). Ask yourself: What might become possible if you gave this to yourself on a regular basis?\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday (Feb. 15<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>) </b>is a big day! <i>The Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>until 9:42pm EST</b> (see Tuesday late morning for details)\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday morning</b> an <i>opportune Mercury/Uranus aspect</i> becomes exact at 10:07am EST. <b>We started to feel this from aspect from Wednesday on, and it will be strong until Friday</b>.This is an opportunity to connect our thinking and communication to a brighter, more collaborative vision for the future.\r\n\r\nIt also brings an opportunity for insight, novelty, and some really unusual conversations. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to realize it.\r\n\r\nThis aspect also brings an opportunity to view things from a different perspective or put a new spin on \"old\" thinking. We like to connect in unusual ways; any group activities or brainstorming with like-minded people could generate amazing insights -- this might be a busy day. As best as you can, or want to... stay open to other dimensions ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> <i>(Mercury is the ruler of Virgo and Gemini; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\nOn <b>Thursday at 4:05pm EST, </b><i>a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse in 27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> becomes exact. </i>This is the beginning of both a new Moon cycle and an Eclipse cycle.  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\nEclipses take place approximately every 6 months; <i>Solar Eclipses</i> are extra-powerful New Moons that end one 19-year cycle and begin another — the last Solar Eclipse in this same degree of Aquarius was back on Feb. 16th, 1999. We are likely to experience a resonance between now and that time — \"resonant\", rather than identical — so think back to the Spring of 1999:\r\n\r\nWere there any major endings and beginnings? What was important back then? If there were a call this time to take those priorities to the next level… Where would that next level find you?\r\n\r\nIf you\'re looking for more guidance on those questions, I would suggest taking a look at your Natal Chart: the House placement of the Eclipse will indicate which area of life is the readiest for a new level of consciousness.\r\n\r\nIf that idea appeals, I suggest checking out my <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">30-minute class, \"How to Read My Birth Chart”</a> -- you might also want to purchase the video of the most recent <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">Forecasting Forum</a> -- we looked directly at our own birth charts to see how this Solar Eclipse will affect each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar, available <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">on my website</a>).\r\n\r\nOr...\r\n\r\n<b>Get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, <b>plus</b> a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\r\n\r\nAlthough we have experienced several Eclipses in the Leo/Aquarius polarity since last year, this will be the <i>first Solar Eclipse in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>. This points to a new beginning of some sort, with the visionary Aquarian energy impacting the area of life indicated by its house placement in our individual birth charts.\r\n\r\nSolar Eclipses reveal pathways that can take us to the next level of our evolution. They herald shifts in consciousness; the shift connected with this particular Eclipse will unfold over the next 6 months.\r\n\r\nThe Sun and Moon are connected to one of the Moon Nodes during an Eclipse; in this case, the South Node -- and <i>South Node Eclipses</i> can help us release energies or attachments that no longer serve our Soul’s evolution. Again, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">feel free to check out my webinar about the Eclipses</a> to see where this new beginning and next level of your Soul\'s evolution takes place for you.\r\n\r\nEclipses are Uranian in nature; as such, they are times of uncertainty -- so pretty much anything could happen <b>between now and the end of Eclipse season (Feb. 25th).</b>\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, stay both grounded <i>and</i> flexible — and don\'t jump the gun: If you feel compelled to do something, do your best to simply observe the urge. The exception might be something that happens organically -- but if you are ambivalent about a possible action, better hold off at least until the end of Eclipse Season (Feb. 25th).\r\n\r\nEclipses bring major endings and beginnings. As best you can, trust that whatever is leaving is making space for something better -- the more willing we are to change, the easier it will be.\r\n\r\nThat said, projects and interactions that got underway prior to Eclipse season (i.e. before Jan. 21st) are another matter -- don’t stop your life just because it is Eclipse season ;-) Pay attention also to anything that got started at the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo, in August of last year.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Do I have a better understanding of what brings me joy? Am I more courageous and self-expressed?\r\n\r\nWith the <i>Solar Eclipse</i> in <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>, we have our eye on the future. The highest vibration of Aquarius gives us the opportunity to see a clear vision for our life -- and we are ready to make huge improvements.\r\n\r\n<strong>Aquarius</strong> also deals with the power of ideals, technology, and inventions. We are interested in the collective focus on changing group consciousness; we strive for equality, collaboration, progress. This eclipse invites us to bring this higher vibration to our ability to be courageous and joyful in our own right.\r\n\r\n<i>South Node Eclipses</i> invite us to become aware of the lower vibrations of a sign, so we can release those energies or attachments that no longer serve our evolution, and move toward the higher vibration of the sign -- in this case, that would obviously be Aquarius -- so what do the lower Aquarian vibrations look and feel like?\r\n\r\nAt a lower <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, we feel like outsiders -- as though we don\'t fit in, are maybe a little <i>too</i> different. We want to rebel against social structures that don\'t fit with our vision.\r\n\r\nWe get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not take responsibility for our part in the collective -- when we do not honor our individual genius, our unique contribution to society or our communities. Ask yourself:\r\n\r\nWhat stops me from connecting to my inner genius? What if I allowed myself to be both different <i>and</i> connected to others? What if taking responsibility for \"how things are\" was the perfect jump-start for a better future?\r\n\r\nTo move even further into that higher <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, try also asking yourself the following questions: Where am I called to make a difference? What could I, as an individual, do for humanity? And how might group consciousness help humanity make progress? Where can I begin?\r\n\r\nEvery single one of us has a special gift, a spark unique to us; when we access our inner genius and share it with the world, we can make quantum leaps of insight and embark on remarkable collaborations with others. Ask yourself: How does my inner genius communicate? Where does it want to show up?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) currently in <strong>Aries</strong>, sextiles the Sun, Moon, and Mercury in <strong>Aquarius</strong>. </i>This is a tremendous opportunity for all of us to become more aware of our individual impact on the collective: We are all agents of change. Already. Always.\r\n\r\nRight now, our individual capacity to effect change is far greater than we realize — especially for those of us with Uranus, Aquarius, or 11th house planets strongly emphasized in our birth chart — and when we team up with others who also care deeply about creating a better future, we can create real change.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How can I inspire others to foster progress? What becomes possible when we all connect with the intention to create meaningful change for everyone? For all living things?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong> squares the Solar Eclipse, sextiles Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, and trines Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong>. </i>This combo invites us to stretch ourselves for the duration of this Eclipse cycle -- to grow beyond what we currently know ourselves to be -- it supports our ability to build a more meaningful future and allows us to engage more fully in our current healing process.\r\n\r\nHere\'s a good start: We all have \"survival tactics\" we formed in response to past circumstances. Ask yourself: What if I expanded my awareness and comprehension of my personal survival tactics by just 5%? What might a new perspective on my fears and defenses show me? What if I relentlessly questioned old beliefs about intimate or financial partnerships? What might I discover about what has become true in the meantime? If I genuinely allowed this insight to change my behaviors and expectations, what might that look like?\r\n\r\nAs always when Chiron is involved, aim for wholeness, forgiveness — above all, keep a courageously open heart — our light shines all the brighter when all of our authentic self is visible, even the shadowy parts :-)\r\n\r\n<i>Eclipses</i> are a time for clarifying and affirming our highest path. We are bound to experience a release -- and a recalibration: “old” codes will get deleted and new programming downloaded. This is especially true when connected with our vision for the future (and for the collective).\r\n\r\nSuppressing or denying the unique gifts we each bring to the collective experience is even less wise than before; we are more aware than ever that we <b>are interconnected</b> and thus every single one of us contributes to the human experience and is capable of making a difference on this shared journey.\r\n\r\nSince Eclipse season continues until Feb. 25th, I highly recommend again that you treat yourself to the video of my most recent <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">Forecasting Forum</a> (<a href=\"https://goo.gl/uB8R7j\">https://goo.gl/uB8R7j</a>) -- we covered the Eclipses, including this Solar Eclipse in <b>Aquarius</b>, looking directly at our own birth charts to see how this affects each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">on my website</a>).\r\n\r\nOr...\r\n\r\nYou may recall that I now offer membership plans -- you could <b>get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, plus a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum, by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\r\n\r\n<b>Between now and Feb. 25th</b>, allow for the new templates to download; stay centered and do your best to ground from within. Try using conscious breathing, flexibility -- and best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body… And if nothing else, remember: this won\'t last forever -- in another two weeks, the downloads are complete ;-)  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">Again, I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in one of the following placements: 22-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, Scorpio, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly.</i>\r\n\r\nNow let’s talk “Intentions” :-) Regular readers will know that we usually use the time of the New Moon to set intentions for the coming month.\r\n\r\nWith a Solar Eclipse, we want to <b>wait 48 hours before setting our intentions </b>-- in Saturdays Forecast, I’ll be talking about setting some powerful intentions, not just for the next month as is usual for a New Moon, but for the next <i>six</i> months -- and I\'ll give you the very best times for setting them. <i></i>\r\n<i></i>\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Thursday late afternoon, at 4:05pm EST,</b> at the same time as the New Moon becomes exact, we also enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 6 hours, <b>until 9:42 pm EST</b>. Use this intuitive time to go within and meditate or pray/give thanks/converse with your higher Self.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your Thursday evening ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday evening,  </b><i>an opportune Venus/Saturn aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:19 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday night and it will stay strong until Saturday. </b>This aspect gives us an opportunity to bring a sense of realism to our relationships, values, and financial affairs: We are more able to see what really needs to be dealt with in those areas and take responsibility for our handling of them.\r\n\r\nOn a financial level, we have an opportunity to see more clearly when and how we might make long-term investments. There\'s no need to rush anything; think it through carefully and responsibly -- do the \"due diligence\". Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us, we have to \"take\" it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 4-8 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)</i>.\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday evening at 9:42 pm EST,</b> <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces,</i></b><i> </i>where it will journey <b>until Sunday morning</b>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<b>Friday (Feb. 16<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>) </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <b>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday morning</strong>, we get an opportunity to be wholly present -- and also to focus on practicalities and long-term plans. As best as you can, bring a sense of flow and faith to your business dealings.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning</strong>, we have a chance to connect with other people from our compassionate heart. If we heed intuition and allow for all things to flow freely, we may discover that the Universe is always taking care of us ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late evening,</strong> we feel a need to go within and slow down -- and at the same time, we also want to move fast and have new experiences. This tension clearly invites us to stretch a little, and to seek resolution via creative solutions -- the key here is to listen to our intuition, so we don\'t drive ourselves or others crazy.\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Friday late evening,</strong> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday</strong> is also Chinese New Year. I am not very well-versed in Chinese astrology, so I\'ll just share an excerpt from a newsletter I received last week: \"Today is the start of the Chinese year of the Earth Dog. In Chinese tradition, Earth dogs are faithful, considerate and well-disciplined.\" -- Astro Butterfly\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday (Feb. 17<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>): </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday morning,</b> <i>a challenging Mars/Neptune aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:20 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Sunday evening and it will be strong until next week Thursday morning</b>. This aspect is asking us to stretch ourselves, in order to resolve a tension between the things we want to go after, versus our feelings about a higher, spiritual calling. We may be chasing a dream... or a fantasy.\r\n\r\nOrdinary life may seem drab and uninteresting to us right now. We tend to either over- or underestimate our own power and abilities. We want something that stirs our imagination: Some vision or ideal or dream to motivate us.\r\n\r\nWe have a strong urge to act out our fantasies or live out our dream -- and we have the energy now to DO that which others only talk or dream about -- but we tend to feel scattered. As best as you can, slow down and listen to your intuition before aimlessly zooming ahead. Inspire yourself and others.\r\n\r\n<i>Most impacted by this aspect: those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 10-16 degrees of</i><b><i> Sagittarius, Pisces</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Gemini, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday early morning, </b><i>a Sun/Mercury alignment</i> <i>in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact at 7:27 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday evening on, and it will be strong until next week Tuesday evening. </b>This aspect indicates a confident mind and an analytical approach to life. Intelligence and communication abilities are strong at this time; however, we may not listen as well as the other speaks -- we might be too busy thinking about what to say next.\r\n\r\nGiven that this alignment takes place in <strong>Aquarius</strong>, we may feel particularly cool and collected, detached even -- do your best to avoid arrogance or rigidity of thought.\r\n\r\nWe want an active role in communications -- it\'s very hard for us to passively listen and absorb information right now. What we say or write now is impactful, so choose your words wisely: If people hung on your every word, what would you say then? What would you hold back from saying?\r\n\r\nOur opinions are strong and our thinking independent -- and we\'re proud of both -- so our egos may get bruised if we don\'t feel \"heard\". As best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have a different opinion and that\'s ok.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 26-29 degrees of  </i><strong><i>Aquarius, Leo, Scorpio, Taurus, </i></strong><i>or</i><strong><i> </i></strong><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\">Pisces, Virgo, </b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo, Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday</b><b> afternoon (after 4:05pm EST)</b> is also the best time to set<i> our powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse Intentions</i>. Doing so during a Solar Eclipse is a little different from the regular monthly New Moon process: we are setting those intentions for the whole 6-month Eclipse cycle, rather than just for the next 28 days.\r\n\r\nSo when is the best time to do this? With a Solar Eclipse it is best to wait 48 hours after the Eclipse has been exact before setting any intentions; as always, we also want to avoid any <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> phases.\r\n\r\nThis gives us two \"windows\" for our 6-month intention-setting (all times are EST, which is the New York timezone):\r\n\r\nThe first window is on <b>Saturday, Feb. 17th, between 4:05pm and 5:14pm.</b>\r\n\r\nThe<b> </b>second would be <b>between 7:05am on Sunday, Feb. 18th, and 4:05pm the following day (Monday, Feb. 19th). </b>\r\n\r\nMake them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the <strong>Aquarian</strong> energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nThis Solar Eclipse reminds us that to be fully alive requires us to constantly stretch, grow, and change. So, while writing your intentions, ask yourself: What would it take for me to release old patterns from the past? How might that free me to create a more powerful vision for the future?\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday early evening,</b> <b>at 5:14 pm EST,</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 14 hours, <b>until 7:05 am EST (Sunday morning)</b>. Use this intuitive time to explore any beliefs connected to past experiences that left you feeling disempowered: How could a compassionate approach to the past allow for a new perspective?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your Saturday evening and Sunday early morning ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Late Saturday evening at 11:28 pm EST </b><i>Mercury changes signs from freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> to creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i>.</b> It will journey through Pisces until <b>March 6<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b>. We are moving from the mind into the heart. For these next two weeks, we get a chance to communicate with compassion -- we see the commonalities between us all, rather than what separates us.\r\n\r\nWe seem to be connected to Source more easily during this time -- if we allow that energy to come through -- and our thinking will be very creative, imaginative and intuitive.\r\n\r\nThe key with this energy is to remain in the “here and now” and open up to a higher vibration. If we can do that, we will be able to download information from an intuitive place, rather than thinking things through. This could also be the reason why our mind is slowing down a bit and why we speak more softly.\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> also offers us an opportunity to let go of any mental structures, conditionings or fears that are no longer serving us. If you are not connected to your intuition, you may want to double check with other people, before signing any documents or buying any big-ticket items. Are you ready to connect to your intuition more fully? Can you allow for the unfolding process, trusting your higher Self more fully?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more talkative during this time. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you may need to learn to surrender to a slower pace and connect more fully to your heart and intuition.  </i>\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday (Feb. 18<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>): </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><b> </b>and<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><b> until 7:05am EST.</b>\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday morning at 7:05 am EST </b><i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries,</i></b> where it will remain <b>until Tuesday afternoon</b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday afternoon at 12:18 pm</b> <i>the Sun moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> where it will remain <b>until March 20th. </b>This brings our awareness to our sense of oneness with everyone and everything around us. We feel like sponges, able to pick up all energy around us; this also makes us more sensitive and emotional. We are more drawn towards expressing ourselves in a creative or spiritual way.\r\n\r\nMusic or energy healing gives us vitality and can heighten our own personal vibrations. We need to slow down a little and listen to our intuition more fully -- if we ignore our feelings and the subtle messages we are getting, we will most likely feel more anxious and somewhat frustrated. This could also be connected to the slow pace that our body or our surroundings are demanding of us.\r\n\r\nThe keyword here is \"allowing\": as best as you can, be aware of what you are resisting, moment to moment, and create some space -- allow it to be as it is. Notice when you are picking up someone else\'s feelings rather than your own.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces </i></b><i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, your vitality will depend on allowing things to flow and being gentle with yourself.</i>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\">Last but not least, </span><b>Sunday </b><span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\"><b>after </b></span><b>7:05am EST, </b> you have all day to set your Solar Eclipse <span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\">Intentions. </span>Make them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the <strong>Aquarian</strong> energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>.

If you love Astrology, or simply want to explore yourself on a deeper level and live life more consciously, this community is for you. <b>Why join now? </b>\r\n\r\n<b>For the next four weeks</b> as I get the kinks worked out of my new membership site -- and as a huge thank you for being a part of my online community already -- I\'ll be offering a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\"><b>super-dooper special launch discount</b></a> on site membership. This is only for those of you who are already part of my mailing list or have joined me on my social media platforms. For more info about the new online community and it\'s benefits, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/aEhibk\">click here</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>It get’s better:</strong> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\">join the Star or SuperStar Membership</a> <strong>before Feb. 25th</strong>, you will also receive my latest Forecasting Forum — about the Eclipses and how they impact you personally — for FREE ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: A very powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse in Aquarius becomes exact on Thursday late afternoon; Mercury changes signs from Aquarius to Pisces on Saturday late evening — and the Sun follows suit on Sunday around noon.\r\n\r\nThere will be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC Phases</a> this week: Monday night/Tuesday very early morning (for 9.5 hours), Thursday afternoon (for almost 6 hours), and Saturday early evening until Sunday morning (for almost 14 hours).\r\n\r\n<b>Monday (February 12<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> <i>the Moon remains in </i><i>practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> <b>all day. </b>It will journey there <b>until Tuesday late morning. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.<!--more-->\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday</strong><b> afternoon</b>, our focus intensifies -- we might even get a little obsessed with a project or task -- as best as you can, take breaks and don\'t forget to practice a little self-care ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday evening,</strong> we get the opportunity to investigate our deepest motivations and align them with our long-term goals and achievements (if we are awake at this time, of course). We are capable of great focus for the next couple of hours. As with all opportunities in life, this one is not simply handed to us, we have to make something of it. Might deeper perspectives into your psyche move you closer to long-term goals?\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday (Feb. 13<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> <i>the Moon remains in practical, </i><i>accomplishment-oriented</i><i> </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> <b>until 10:11am EST</b> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday very early morning,</b> <b>at 12:43am EST,</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for about 9.5 hours, <b>until 10:11am EST</b>.You may be aware of two seemingly conflicting desires: On the one hand, a need for serious, diligent accomplishment -- and on the other, a desire to break free and rebel against obligations.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take some breaks, and \"let your freak flag fly\" -- just for a moment -- and revel in it! As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your morning ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday at 10:11 am EST</b> <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> where it will be <b>until Thursday evening</b>. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday early evening</b> a <i>challenging Mercury/Jupiter aspect</i> becomes exact at 5:39 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from</b> <b>Sunday and it will be strong until Thursday. </b>This aspect asks that we grow and evolve in the following areas: how we communicate our vision for the future and how much we share with others. We may have to find creative solutions to communicate; we may have to learn about our thinking process and conditioning.\r\n\r\nWe want to share ourselves without limitation. We are thus inclined to exaggeration, often unintended -- and might struggle to transform ideas into reality. The upside to all this: we can be extraordinarily funny, interesting and creative.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday </b><i>an opportune Sun/Uranus aspect</i><b> </b>becomes exact at 9:23pm EST. <b>We started to feel this aspect Sunday evening on, and it will be strong until Thursday night. </b>We have the opportunity to become aware of an original or unique approach to life. Flexibility is the key to success at this time; pleasant changes may be in store -- certainly unexpected ones ;-)\r\n\r\nWhat is your uniqueness? How could you express that proudly and authentically? As best as you can, watch out for messages from the Universe! Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us: We have to \"realize\" it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo</i></b><i> or</i><b><i> Aquarius </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday (Feb. 14<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> (Valentine’s Day) <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>all day</b> (see Tuesday late morning for details)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday morning</strong> is an opportunity to connect with others and explore actively the things that can bring us progress.\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday </b>is also the <i>last day before the Solar Eclipse in</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact. There is some potent energy coming our way; it would be wise to prepare ourselves to be transformed by it, allowing for our consciousness upgrade to be installed.\r\n\r\nThis is a good time to slow things down and go within. For many of us, this will be a stretch, as we want to do just the opposite: jump the gun, get started with something new, act impulsively, etc. This is quite common right before a Solar Eclipse. As best as you can, stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions and connect to your inner wisdom.\r\n\r\nIt comes down to this: just for now and just as best as you can... could you simply allow what is... to be? Could you simply be the “observer” until the upgrade is complete?\r\n\r\nRather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing things. Think back to late Aug. 2017 -- the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo. What did you start around then? How could you complete it, or move it to the next level?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take the days immediately before and after the Eclipse for meditation, contemplation, journaling — anything that supports an objective understanding of your own thoughts and visions.\r\n\r\nOf course if, like most of us, you have other obligations: take 5-minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, get quiet and be with yourself (i.e. your inspirational Self, your higher mind). Ask yourself: What might become possible if you gave this to yourself on a regular basis?\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday (Feb. 15<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>) </b>is a big day! <i>The Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>until 9:42pm EST</b> (see Tuesday late morning for details)\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday morning</b> an <i>opportune Mercury/Uranus aspect</i> becomes exact at 10:07am EST. <b>We started to feel this from aspect from Wednesday on, and it will be strong until Friday</b>.This is an opportunity to connect our thinking and communication to a brighter, more collaborative vision for the future.\r\n\r\nIt also brings an opportunity for insight, novelty, and some really unusual conversations. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to realize it.\r\n\r\nThis aspect also brings an opportunity to view things from a different perspective or put a new spin on \"old\" thinking. We like to connect in unusual ways; any group activities or brainstorming with like-minded people could generate amazing insights -- this might be a busy day. As best as you can, or want to... stay open to other dimensions ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> <i>(Mercury is the ruler of Virgo and Gemini; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\nOn <b>Thursday at 4:05pm EST, </b><i>a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse in 27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> becomes exact. </i>This is the beginning of both a new Moon cycle and an Eclipse cycle.  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\nEclipses take place approximately every 6 months; <i>Solar Eclipses</i> are extra-powerful New Moons that end one 19-year cycle and begin another — the last Solar Eclipse in this same degree of Aquarius was back on Feb. 16th, 1999. We are likely to experience a resonance between now and that time — \"resonant\", rather than identical — so think back to the Spring of 1999:\r\n\r\nWere there any major endings and beginnings? What was important back then? If there were a call this time to take those priorities to the next level… Where would that next level find you?\r\n\r\nIf you\'re looking for more guidance on those questions, I would suggest taking a look at your Natal Chart: the House placement of the Eclipse will indicate which area of life is the readiest for a new level of consciousness.\r\n\r\nIf that idea appeals, I suggest checking out my <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">30-minute class, \"How to Read My Birth Chart”</a> -- you might also want to purchase the video of the most recent <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">Forecasting Forum</a> -- we looked directly at our own birth charts to see how this Solar Eclipse will affect each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar, available <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">on my website</a>).\r\n\r\nOr...\r\n\r\n<b>Get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, <b>plus</b> a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\r\n\r\nAlthough we have experienced several Eclipses in the Leo/Aquarius polarity since last year, this will be the <i>first Solar Eclipse in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>. This points to a new beginning of some sort, with the visionary Aquarian energy impacting the area of life indicated by its house placement in our individual birth charts.\r\n\r\nSolar Eclipses reveal pathways that can take us to the next level of our evolution. They herald shifts in consciousness; the shift connected with this particular Eclipse will unfold over the next 6 months.\r\n\r\nThe Sun and Moon are connected to one of the Moon Nodes during an Eclipse; in this case, the South Node -- and <i>South Node Eclipses</i> can help us release energies or attachments that no longer serve our Soul’s evolution. Again, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">feel free to check out my webinar about the Eclipses</a> to see where this new beginning and next level of your Soul\'s evolution takes place for you.\r\n\r\nEclipses are Uranian in nature; as such, they are times of uncertainty -- so pretty much anything could happen <b>between now and the end of Eclipse season (Feb. 25th).</b>\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, stay both grounded <i>and</i> flexible — and don\'t jump the gun: If you feel compelled to do something, do your best to simply observe the urge. The exception might be something that happens organically -- but if you are ambivalent about a possible action, better hold off at least until the end of Eclipse Season (Feb. 25th).\r\n\r\nEclipses bring major endings and beginnings. As best you can, trust that whatever is leaving is making space for something better -- the more willing we are to change, the easier it will be.\r\n\r\nThat said, projects and interactions that got underway prior to Eclipse season (i.e. before Jan. 21st) are another matter -- don’t stop your life just because it is Eclipse season ;-) Pay attention also to anything that got started at the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo, in August of last year.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Do I have a better understanding of what brings me joy? Am I more courageous and self-expressed?\r\n\r\nWith the <i>Solar Eclipse</i> in <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>, we have our eye on the future. The highest vibration of Aquarius gives us the opportunity to see a clear vision for our life -- and we are ready to make huge improvements.\r\n\r\n<strong>Aquarius</strong> also deals with the power of ideals, technology, and inventions. We are interested in the collective focus on changing group consciousness; we strive for equality, collaboration, progress. This eclipse invites us to bring this higher vibration to our ability to be courageous and joyful in our own right.\r\n\r\n<i>South Node Eclipses</i> invite us to become aware of the lower vibrations of a sign, so we can release those energies or attachments that no longer serve our evolution, and move toward the higher vibration of the sign -- in this case, that would obviously be Aquarius -- so what do the lower Aquarian vibrations look and feel like?\r\n\r\nAt a lower <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, we feel like outsiders -- as though we don\'t fit in, are maybe a little <i>too</i> different. We want to rebel against social structures that don\'t fit with our vision.\r\n\r\nWe get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not take responsibility for our part in the collective -- when we do not honor our individual genius, our unique contribution to society or our communities. Ask yourself:\r\n\r\nWhat stops me from connecting to my inner genius? What if I allowed myself to be both different <i>and</i> connected to others? What if taking responsibility for \"how things are\" was the perfect jump-start for a better future?\r\n\r\nTo move even further into that higher <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, try also asking yourself the following questions: Where am I called to make a difference? What could I, as an individual, do for humanity? And how might group consciousness help humanity make progress? Where can I begin?\r\n\r\nEvery single one of us has a special gift, a spark unique to us; when we access our inner genius and share it with the world, we can make quantum leaps of insight and embark on remarkable collaborations with others. Ask yourself: How does my inner genius communicate? Where does it want to show up?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) currently in <strong>Aries</strong>, sextiles the Sun, Moon, and Mercury in <strong>Aquarius</strong>. </i>This is a tremendous opportunity for all of us to become more aware of our individual impact on the collective: We are all agents of change. Already. Always.\r\n\r\nRight now, our individual capacity to effect change is far greater than we realize — especially for those of us with Uranus, Aquarius, or 11th house planets strongly emphasized in our birth chart — and when we team up with others who also care deeply about creating a better future, we can create real change.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How can I inspire others to foster progress? What becomes possible when we all connect with the intention to create meaningful change for everyone? For all living things?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong> squares the Solar Eclipse, sextiles Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, and trines Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong>. </i>This combo invites us to stretch ourselves for the duration of this Eclipse cycle -- to grow beyond what we currently know ourselves to be -- it supports our ability to build a more meaningful future and allows us to engage more fully in our current healing process.\r\n\r\nHere\'s a good start: We all have \"survival tactics\" we formed in response to past circumstances. Ask yourself: What if I expanded my awareness and comprehension of my personal survival tactics by just 5%? What might a new perspective on my fears and defenses show me? What if I relentlessly questioned old beliefs about intimate or financial partnerships? What might I discover about what has become true in the meantime? If I genuinely allowed this insight to change my behaviors and expectations, what might that look like?\r\n\r\nAs always when Chiron is involved, aim for wholeness, forgiveness — above all, keep a courageously open heart — our light shines all the brighter when all of our authentic self is visible, even the shadowy parts :-)\r\n\r\n<i>Eclipses</i> are a time for clarifying and affirming our highest path. We are bound to experience a release -- and a recalibration: “old” codes will get deleted and new programming downloaded. This is especially true when connected with our vision for the future (and for the collective).\r\n\r\nSuppressing or denying the unique gifts we each bring to the collective experience is even less wise than before; we are more aware than ever that we <b>are interconnected</b> and thus every single one of us contributes to the human experience and is capable of making a difference on this shared journey.\r\n\r\nSince Eclipse season continues until Feb. 25th, I highly recommend again that you treat yourself to the video of my most recent <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">Forecasting Forum</a> (<a href=\"https://goo.gl/uB8R7j\">https://goo.gl/uB8R7j</a>) -- we covered the Eclipses, including this Solar Eclipse in <b>Aquarius</b>, looking directly at our own birth charts to see how this affects each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">on my website</a>).\r\n\r\nOr...\r\n\r\nYou may recall that I now offer membership plans -- you could <b>get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, plus a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum, by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\r\n\r\n<b>Between now and Feb. 25th</b>, allow for the new templates to download; stay centered and do your best to ground from within. Try using conscious breathing, flexibility -- and best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body… And if nothing else, remember: this won\'t last forever -- in another two weeks, the downloads are complete ;-)  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">Again, I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in one of the following placements: 22-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, Scorpio, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly.</i>\r\n\r\nNow let’s talk “Intentions” :-) Regular readers will know that we usually use the time of the New Moon to set intentions for the coming month.\r\n\r\nWith a Solar Eclipse, we want to <b>wait 48 hours before setting our intentions </b>-- in Saturdays Forecast, I’ll be talking about setting some powerful intentions, not just for the next month as is usual for a New Moon, but for the next <i>six</i> months -- and I\'ll give you the very best times for setting them. <i></i>\r\n<i></i>\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Thursday late afternoon, at 4:05pm EST,</b> at the same time as the New Moon becomes exact, we also enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 6 hours, <b>until 9:42 pm EST</b>. Use this intuitive time to go within and meditate or pray/give thanks/converse with your higher Self.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your Thursday evening ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday evening,  </b><i>an opportune Venus/Saturn aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:19 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday night and it will stay strong until Saturday. </b>This aspect gives us an opportunity to bring a sense of realism to our relationships, values, and financial affairs: We are more able to see what really needs to be dealt with in those areas and take responsibility for our handling of them.\r\n\r\nOn a financial level, we have an opportunity to see more clearly when and how we might make long-term investments. There\'s no need to rush anything; think it through carefully and responsibly -- do the \"due diligence\". Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us, we have to \"take\" it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 4-8 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)</i>.\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday evening at 9:42 pm EST,</b> <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces,</i></b><i> </i>where it will journey <b>until Sunday morning</b>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<b>Friday (Feb. 16<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>) </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <b>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday morning</strong>, we get an opportunity to be wholly present -- and also to focus on practicalities and long-term plans. As best as you can, bring a sense of flow and faith to your business dealings.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning</strong>, we have a chance to connect with other people from our compassionate heart. If we heed intuition and allow for all things to flow freely, we may discover that the Universe is always taking care of us ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late evening,</strong> we feel a need to go within and slow down -- and at the same time, we also want to move fast and have new experiences. This tension clearly invites us to stretch a little, and to seek resolution via creative solutions -- the key here is to listen to our intuition, so we don\'t drive ourselves or others crazy.\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Friday late evening,</strong> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday</strong> is also Chinese New Year. I am not very well-versed in Chinese astrology, so I\'ll just share an excerpt from a newsletter I received last week: \"Today is the start of the Chinese year of the Earth Dog. In Chinese tradition, Earth dogs are faithful, considerate and well-disciplined.\" -- Astro Butterfly\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday (Feb. 17<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>): </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday morning,</b> <i>a challenging Mars/Neptune aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:20 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Sunday evening and it will be strong until next week Thursday morning</b>. This aspect is asking us to stretch ourselves, in order to resolve a tension between the things we want to go after, versus our feelings about a higher, spiritual calling. We may be chasing a dream... or a fantasy.\r\n\r\nOrdinary life may seem drab and uninteresting to us right now. We tend to either over- or underestimate our own power and abilities. We want something that stirs our imagination: Some vision or ideal or dream to motivate us.\r\n\r\nWe have a strong urge to act out our fantasies or live out our dream -- and we have the energy now to DO that which others only talk or dream about -- but we tend to feel scattered. As best as you can, slow down and listen to your intuition before aimlessly zooming ahead. Inspire yourself and others.\r\n\r\n<i>Most impacted by this aspect: those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 10-16 degrees of</i><b><i> Sagittarius, Pisces</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Gemini, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday early morning, </b><i>a Sun/Mercury alignment</i> <i>in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact at 7:27 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday evening on, and it will be strong until next week Tuesday evening. </b>This aspect indicates a confident mind and an analytical approach to life. Intelligence and communication abilities are strong at this time; however, we may not listen as well as the other speaks -- we might be too busy thinking about what to say next.\r\n\r\nGiven that this alignment takes place in <strong>Aquarius</strong>, we may feel particularly cool and collected, detached even -- do your best to avoid arrogance or rigidity of thought.\r\n\r\nWe want an active role in communications -- it\'s very hard for us to passively listen and absorb information right now. What we say or write now is impactful, so choose your words wisely: If people hung on your every word, what would you say then? What would you hold back from saying?\r\n\r\nOur opinions are strong and our thinking independent -- and we\'re proud of both -- so our egos may get bruised if we don\'t feel \"heard\". As best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have a different opinion and that\'s ok.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 26-29 degrees of  </i><strong><i>Aquarius, Leo, Scorpio, Taurus, </i></strong><i>or</i><strong><i> </i></strong><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\">Pisces, Virgo, </b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo, Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday</b><b> afternoon (after 4:05pm EST)</b> is also the best time to set<i> our powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse Intentions</i>. Doing so during a Solar Eclipse is a little different from the regular monthly New Moon process: we are setting those intentions for the whole 6-month Eclipse cycle, rather than just for the next 28 days.\r\n\r\nSo when is the best time to do this? With a Solar Eclipse it is best to wait 48 hours after the Eclipse has been exact before setting any intentions; as always, we also want to avoid any <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> phases.\r\n\r\nThis gives us two \"windows\" for our 6-month intention-setting (all times are EST, which is the New York timezone):\r\n\r\nThe first window is on <b>Saturday, Feb. 17th, between 4:05pm and 5:14pm.</b>\r\n\r\nThe<b> </b>second would be <b>between 7:05am on Sunday, Feb. 18th, and 4:05pm the following day (Monday, Feb. 19th). </b>\r\n\r\nMake them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the <strong>Aquarian</strong> energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nThis Solar Eclipse reminds us that to be fully alive requires us to constantly stretch, grow, and change. So, while writing your intentions, ask yourself: What would it take for me to release old patterns from the past? How might that free me to create a more powerful vision for the future?\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday early evening,</b> <b>at 5:14 pm EST,</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 14 hours, <b>until 7:05 am EST (Sunday morning)</b>. Use this intuitive time to explore any beliefs connected to past experiences that left you feeling disempowered: How could a compassionate approach to the past allow for a new perspective?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your Saturday evening and Sunday early morning ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Late Saturday evening at 11:28 pm EST </b><i>Mercury changes signs from freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> to creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i>.</b> It will journey through Pisces until <b>March 6<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b>. We are moving from the mind into the heart. For these next two weeks, we get a chance to communicate with compassion -- we see the commonalities between us all, rather than what separates us.\r\n\r\nWe seem to be connected to Source more easily during this time -- if we allow that energy to come through -- and our thinking will be very creative, imaginative and intuitive.\r\n\r\nThe key with this energy is to remain in the “here and now” and open up to a higher vibration. If we can do that, we will be able to download information from an intuitive place, rather than thinking things through. This could also be the reason why our mind is slowing down a bit and why we speak more softly.\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> also offers us an opportunity to let go of any mental structures, conditionings or fears that are no longer serving us. If you are not connected to your intuition, you may want to double check with other people, before signing any documents or buying any big-ticket items. Are you ready to connect to your intuition more fully? Can you allow for the unfolding process, trusting your higher Self more fully?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more talkative during this time. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you may need to learn to surrender to a slower pace and connect more fully to your heart and intuition.  </i>\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday (Feb. 18<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>): </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><b> </b>and<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><b> until 7:05am EST.</b>\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday morning at 7:05 am EST </b><i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries,</i></b> where it will remain <b>until Tuesday afternoon</b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday afternoon at 12:18 pm</b> <i>the Sun moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> where it will remain <b>until March 20th. </b>This brings our awareness to our sense of oneness with everyone and everything around us. We feel like sponges, able to pick up all energy around us; this also makes us more sensitive and emotional. We are more drawn towards expressing ourselves in a creative or spiritual way.\r\n\r\nMusic or energy healing gives us vitality and can heighten our own personal vibrations. We need to slow down a little and listen to our intuition more fully -- if we ignore our feelings and the subtle messages we are getting, we will most likely feel more anxious and somewhat frustrated. This could also be connected to the slow pace that our body or our surroundings are demanding of us.\r\n\r\nThe keyword here is \"allowing\": as best as you can, be aware of what you are resisting, moment to moment, and create some space -- allow it to be as it is. Notice when you are picking up someone else\'s feelings rather than your own.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces </i></b><i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, your vitality will depend on allowing things to flow and being gentle with yourself.</i>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\">Last but not least, </span><b>Sunday </b><span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\"><b>after </b></span><b>7:05am EST, </b> you have all day to set your Solar Eclipse <span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\">Intentions. </span>Make them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the <strong>Aquarian</strong> energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>.

I could definitely feel the Eclipse energies... and self-care was soooo very needed.\r\n\r\n\r\n<b>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have an important announcement:\r\n</b>Good news! As some of you already know, my online community has launched! I have been working on this for quite a while, and I am so excited that the day has finally come that I can introduce this to all of you!

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday</strong><b> afternoon</b>, our focus intensifies -- we might even get a little obsessed with a project or task -- as best as you can, take breaks and don\'t forget to practice a little self-care ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday evening,</strong> we get the opportunity to investigate our deepest motivations and align them with our long-term goals and achievements (if we are awake at this time, of course). We are capable of great focus for the next couple of hours. As with all opportunities in life, this one is not simply handed to us, we have to make something of it. Might deeper perspectives into your psyche move you closer to long-term goals?\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday (Feb. 13<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> <i>the Moon remains in practical, </i><i>accomplishment-oriented</i><i> </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> <b>until 10:11am EST</b> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday very early morning,</b> <b>at 12:43am EST,</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for about 9.5 hours, <b>until 10:11am EST</b>.You may be aware of two seemingly conflicting desires: On the one hand, a need for serious, diligent accomplishment -- and on the other, a desire to break free and rebel against obligations.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take some breaks, and \"let your freak flag fly\" -- just for a moment -- and revel in it! As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your morning ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday at 10:11 am EST</b> <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> where it will be <b>until Thursday evening</b>. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday early evening</b> a <i>challenging Mercury/Jupiter aspect</i> becomes exact at 5:39 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from</b> <b>Sunday and it will be strong until Thursday. </b>This aspect asks that we grow and evolve in the following areas: how we communicate our vision for the future and how much we share with others. We may have to find creative solutions to communicate; we may have to learn about our thinking process and conditioning.\r\n\r\nWe want to share ourselves without limitation. We are thus inclined to exaggeration, often unintended -- and might struggle to transform ideas into reality. The upside to all this: we can be extraordinarily funny, interesting and creative.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday </b><i>an opportune Sun/Uranus aspect</i><b> </b>becomes exact at 9:23pm EST. <b>We started to feel this aspect Sunday evening on, and it will be strong until Thursday night. </b>We have the opportunity to become aware of an original or unique approach to life. Flexibility is the key to success at this time; pleasant changes may be in store -- certainly unexpected ones ;-)\r\n\r\nWhat is your uniqueness? How could you express that proudly and authentically? As best as you can, watch out for messages from the Universe! Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us: We have to \"realize\" it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo</i></b><i> or</i><b><i> Aquarius </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday (Feb. 14<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> (Valentine’s Day) <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>all day</b> (see Tuesday late morning for details)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday morning</strong> is an opportunity to connect with others and explore actively the things that can bring us progress.\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday </b>is also the <i>last day before the Solar Eclipse in</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact. There is some potent energy coming our way; it would be wise to prepare ourselves to be transformed by it, allowing for our consciousness upgrade to be installed.\r\n\r\nThis is a good time to slow things down and go within. For many of us, this will be a stretch, as we want to do just the opposite: jump the gun, get started with something new, act impulsively, etc. This is quite common right before a Solar Eclipse. As best as you can, stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions and connect to your inner wisdom.\r\n\r\nIt comes down to this: just for now and just as best as you can... could you simply allow what is... to be? Could you simply be the “observer” until the upgrade is complete?\r\n\r\nRather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing things. Think back to late Aug. 2017 -- the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo. What did you start around then? How could you complete it, or move it to the next level?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take the days immediately before and after the Eclipse for meditation, contemplation, journaling — anything that supports an objective understanding of your own thoughts and visions.\r\n\r\nOf course if, like most of us, you have other obligations: take 5-minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, get quiet and be with yourself (i.e. your inspirational Self, your higher mind). Ask yourself: What might become possible if you gave this to yourself on a regular basis?\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday (Feb. 15<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>) </b>is a big day! <i>The Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>until 9:42pm EST</b> (see Tuesday late morning for details)\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday morning</b> an <i>opportune Mercury/Uranus aspect</i> becomes exact at 10:07am EST. <b>We started to feel this from aspect from Wednesday on, and it will be strong until Friday</b>.This is an opportunity to connect our thinking and communication to a brighter, more collaborative vision for the future.\r\n\r\nIt also brings an opportunity for insight, novelty, and some really unusual conversations. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to realize it.\r\n\r\nThis aspect also brings an opportunity to view things from a different perspective or put a new spin on \"old\" thinking. We like to connect in unusual ways; any group activities or brainstorming with like-minded people could generate amazing insights -- this might be a busy day. As best as you can, or want to... stay open to other dimensions ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> <i>(Mercury is the ruler of Virgo and Gemini; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\nOn <b>Thursday at 4:05pm EST, </b><i>a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse in 27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> becomes exact. </i>This is the beginning of both a new Moon cycle and an Eclipse cycle.  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\nEclipses take place approximately every 6 months; <i>Solar Eclipses</i> are extra-powerful New Moons that end one 19-year cycle and begin another — the last Solar Eclipse in this same degree of Aquarius was back on Feb. 16th, 1999. We are likely to experience a resonance between now and that time — \"resonant\", rather than identical — so think back to the Spring of 1999:\r\n\r\nWere there any major endings and beginnings? What was important back then? If there were a call this time to take those priorities to the next level… Where would that next level find you?\r\n\r\nIf you\'re looking for more guidance on those questions, I would suggest taking a look at your Natal Chart: the House placement of the Eclipse will indicate which area of life is the readiest for a new level of consciousness.\r\n\r\nIf that idea appeals, I suggest checking out my <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">30-minute class, \"How to Read My Birth Chart”</a> -- you might also want to purchase the video of the most recent <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">Forecasting Forum</a> -- we looked directly at our own birth charts to see how this Solar Eclipse will affect each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar, available <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">on my website</a>).\r\n\r\nOr...\r\n\r\n<b>Get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, <b>plus</b> a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\r\n\r\nAlthough we have experienced several Eclipses in the Leo/Aquarius polarity since last year, this will be the <i>first Solar Eclipse in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>. This points to a new beginning of some sort, with the visionary Aquarian energy impacting the area of life indicated by its house placement in our individual birth charts.\r\n\r\nSolar Eclipses reveal pathways that can take us to the next level of our evolution. They herald shifts in consciousness; the shift connected with this particular Eclipse will unfold over the next 6 months.\r\n\r\nThe Sun and Moon are connected to one of the Moon Nodes during an Eclipse; in this case, the South Node -- and <i>South Node Eclipses</i> can help us release energies or attachments that no longer serve our Soul’s evolution. Again, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">feel free to check out my webinar about the Eclipses</a> to see where this new beginning and next level of your Soul\'s evolution takes place for you.\r\n\r\nEclipses are Uranian in nature; as such, they are times of uncertainty -- so pretty much anything could happen <b>between now and the end of Eclipse season (Feb. 25th).</b>\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, stay both grounded <i>and</i> flexible — and don\'t jump the gun: If you feel compelled to do something, do your best to simply observe the urge. The exception might be something that happens organically -- but if you are ambivalent about a possible action, better hold off at least until the end of Eclipse Season (Feb. 25th).\r\n\r\nEclipses bring major endings and beginnings. As best you can, trust that whatever is leaving is making space for something better -- the more willing we are to change, the easier it will be.\r\n\r\nThat said, projects and interactions that got underway prior to Eclipse season (i.e. before Jan. 21st) are another matter -- don’t stop your life just because it is Eclipse season ;-) Pay attention also to anything that got started at the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo, in August of last year.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Do I have a better understanding of what brings me joy? Am I more courageous and self-expressed?\r\n\r\nWith the <i>Solar Eclipse</i> in <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>, we have our eye on the future. The highest vibration of Aquarius gives us the opportunity to see a clear vision for our life -- and we are ready to make huge improvements.\r\n\r\n<strong>Aquarius</strong> also deals with the power of ideals, technology, and inventions. We are interested in the collective focus on changing group consciousness; we strive for equality, collaboration, progress. This eclipse invites us to bring this higher vibration to our ability to be courageous and joyful in our own right.\r\n\r\n<i>South Node Eclipses</i> invite us to become aware of the lower vibrations of a sign, so we can release those energies or attachments that no longer serve our evolution, and move toward the higher vibration of the sign -- in this case, that would obviously be Aquarius -- so what do the lower Aquarian vibrations look and feel like?\r\n\r\nAt a lower <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, we feel like outsiders -- as though we don\'t fit in, are maybe a little <i>too</i> different. We want to rebel against social structures that don\'t fit with our vision.\r\n\r\nWe get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not take responsibility for our part in the collective -- when we do not honor our individual genius, our unique contribution to society or our communities. Ask yourself:\r\n\r\nWhat stops me from connecting to my inner genius? What if I allowed myself to be both different <i>and</i> connected to others? What if taking responsibility for \"how things are\" was the perfect jump-start for a better future?\r\n\r\nTo move even further into that higher <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, try also asking yourself the following questions: Where am I called to make a difference? What could I, as an individual, do for humanity? And how might group consciousness help humanity make progress? Where can I begin?\r\n\r\nEvery single one of us has a special gift, a spark unique to us; when we access our inner genius and share it with the world, we can make quantum leaps of insight and embark on remarkable collaborations with others. Ask yourself: How does my inner genius communicate? Where does it want to show up?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) currently in <strong>Aries</strong>, sextiles the Sun, Moon, and Mercury in <strong>Aquarius</strong>. </i>This is a tremendous opportunity for all of us to become more aware of our individual impact on the collective: We are all agents of change. Already. Always.\r\n\r\nRight now, our individual capacity to effect change is far greater than we realize — especially for those of us with Uranus, Aquarius, or 11th house planets strongly emphasized in our birth chart — and when we team up with others who also care deeply about creating a better future, we can create real change.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How can I inspire others to foster progress? What becomes possible when we all connect with the intention to create meaningful change for everyone? For all living things?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong> squares the Solar Eclipse, sextiles Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, and trines Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong>. </i>This combo invites us to stretch ourselves for the duration of this Eclipse cycle -- to grow beyond what we currently know ourselves to be -- it supports our ability to build a more meaningful future and allows us to engage more fully in our current healing process.\r\n\r\nHere\'s a good start: We all have \"survival tactics\" we formed in response to past circumstances. Ask yourself: What if I expanded my awareness and comprehension of my personal survival tactics by just 5%? What might a new perspective on my fears and defenses show me? What if I relentlessly questioned old beliefs about intimate or financial partnerships? What might I discover about what has become true in the meantime? If I genuinely allowed this insight to change my behaviors and expectations, what might that look like?\r\n\r\nAs always when Chiron is involved, aim for wholeness, forgiveness — above all, keep a courageously open heart — our light shines all the brighter when all of our authentic self is visible, even the shadowy parts :-)\r\n\r\n<i>Eclipses</i> are a time for clarifying and affirming our highest path. We are bound to experience a release -- and a recalibration: “old” codes will get deleted and new programming downloaded. This is especially true when connected with our vision for the future (and for the collective).\r\n\r\nSuppressing or denying the unique gifts we each bring to the collective experience is even less wise than before; we are more aware than ever that we <b>are interconnected</b> and thus every single one of us contributes to the human experience and is capable of making a difference on this shared journey.\r\n\r\nSince Eclipse season continues until Feb. 25th, I highly recommend again that you treat yourself to the video of my most recent <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">Forecasting Forum</a> (<a href=\"https://goo.gl/uB8R7j\">https://goo.gl/uB8R7j</a>) -- we covered the Eclipses, including this Solar Eclipse in <b>Aquarius</b>, looking directly at our own birth charts to see how this affects each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">on my website</a>).\r\n\r\nOr...\r\n\r\nYou may recall that I now offer membership plans -- you could <b>get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, plus a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum, by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\r\n\r\n<b>Between now and Feb. 25th</b>, allow for the new templates to download; stay centered and do your best to ground from within. Try using conscious breathing, flexibility -- and best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body… And if nothing else, remember: this won\'t last forever -- in another two weeks, the downloads are complete ;-)  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">Again, I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in one of the following placements: 22-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, Scorpio, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly.</i>\r\n\r\nNow let’s talk “Intentions” :-) Regular readers will know that we usually use the time of the New Moon to set intentions for the coming month.\r\n\r\nWith a Solar Eclipse, we want to <b>wait 48 hours before setting our intentions </b>-- in Saturdays Forecast, I’ll be talking about setting some powerful intentions, not just for the next month as is usual for a New Moon, but for the next <i>six</i> months -- and I\'ll give you the very best times for setting them. <i></i>\r\n<i></i>\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Thursday late afternoon, at 4:05pm EST,</b> at the same time as the New Moon becomes exact, we also enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 6 hours, <b>until 9:42 pm EST</b>. Use this intuitive time to go within and meditate or pray/give thanks/converse with your higher Self.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your Thursday evening ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday evening,  </b><i>an opportune Venus/Saturn aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:19 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday night and it will stay strong until Saturday. </b>This aspect gives us an opportunity to bring a sense of realism to our relationships, values, and financial affairs: We are more able to see what really needs to be dealt with in those areas and take responsibility for our handling of them.\r\n\r\nOn a financial level, we have an opportunity to see more clearly when and how we might make long-term investments. There\'s no need to rush anything; think it through carefully and responsibly -- do the \"due diligence\". Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us, we have to \"take\" it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 4-8 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)</i>.\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday evening at 9:42 pm EST,</b> <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces,</i></b><i> </i>where it will journey <b>until Sunday morning</b>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<b>Friday (Feb. 16<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>) </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <b>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday morning</strong>, we get an opportunity to be wholly present -- and also to focus on practicalities and long-term plans. As best as you can, bring a sense of flow and faith to your business dealings.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning</strong>, we have a chance to connect with other people from our compassionate heart. If we heed intuition and allow for all things to flow freely, we may discover that the Universe is always taking care of us ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late evening,</strong> we feel a need to go within and slow down -- and at the same time, we also want to move fast and have new experiences. This tension clearly invites us to stretch a little, and to seek resolution via creative solutions -- the key here is to listen to our intuition, so we don\'t drive ourselves or others crazy.\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Friday late evening,</strong> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday</strong> is also Chinese New Year. I am not very well-versed in Chinese astrology, so I\'ll just share an excerpt from a newsletter I received last week: \"Today is the start of the Chinese year of the Earth Dog. In Chinese tradition, Earth dogs are faithful, considerate and well-disciplined.\" -- Astro Butterfly\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday (Feb. 17<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>): </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday morning,</b> <i>a challenging Mars/Neptune aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:20 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Sunday evening and it will be strong until next week Thursday morning</b>. This aspect is asking us to stretch ourselves, in order to resolve a tension between the things we want to go after, versus our feelings about a higher, spiritual calling. We may be chasing a dream... or a fantasy.\r\n\r\nOrdinary life may seem drab and uninteresting to us right now. We tend to either over- or underestimate our own power and abilities. We want something that stirs our imagination: Some vision or ideal or dream to motivate us.\r\n\r\nWe have a strong urge to act out our fantasies or live out our dream -- and we have the energy now to DO that which others only talk or dream about -- but we tend to feel scattered. As best as you can, slow down and listen to your intuition before aimlessly zooming ahead. Inspire yourself and others.\r\n\r\n<i>Most impacted by this aspect: those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 10-16 degrees of</i><b><i> Sagittarius, Pisces</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Gemini, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday early morning, </b><i>a Sun/Mercury alignment</i> <i>in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact at 7:27 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday evening on, and it will be strong until next week Tuesday evening. </b>This aspect indicates a confident mind and an analytical approach to life. Intelligence and communication abilities are strong at this time; however, we may not listen as well as the other speaks -- we might be too busy thinking about what to say next.\r\n\r\nGiven that this alignment takes place in <strong>Aquarius</strong>, we may feel particularly cool and collected, detached even -- do your best to avoid arrogance or rigidity of thought.\r\n\r\nWe want an active role in communications -- it\'s very hard for us to passively listen and absorb information right now. What we say or write now is impactful, so choose your words wisely: If people hung on your every word, what would you say then? What would you hold back from saying?\r\n\r\nOur opinions are strong and our thinking independent -- and we\'re proud of both -- so our egos may get bruised if we don\'t feel \"heard\". As best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have a different opinion and that\'s ok.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 26-29 degrees of  </i><strong><i>Aquarius, Leo, Scorpio, Taurus, </i></strong><i>or</i><strong><i> </i></strong><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\">Pisces, Virgo, </b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo, Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday</b><b> afternoon (after 4:05pm EST)</b> is also the best time to set<i> our powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse Intentions</i>. Doing so during a Solar Eclipse is a little different from the regular monthly New Moon process: we are setting those intentions for the whole 6-month Eclipse cycle, rather than just for the next 28 days.\r\n\r\nSo when is the best time to do this? With a Solar Eclipse it is best to wait 48 hours after the Eclipse has been exact before setting any intentions; as always, we also want to avoid any <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> phases.\r\n\r\nThis gives us two \"windows\" for our 6-month intention-setting (all times are EST, which is the New York timezone):\r\n\r\nThe first window is on <b>Saturday, Feb. 17th, between 4:05pm and 5:14pm.</b>\r\n\r\nThe<b> </b>second would be <b>between 7:05am on Sunday, Feb. 18th, and 4:05pm the following day (Monday, Feb. 19th). </b>\r\n\r\nMake them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the <strong>Aquarian</strong> energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nThis Solar Eclipse reminds us that to be fully alive requires us to constantly stretch, grow, and change. So, while writing your intentions, ask yourself: What would it take for me to release old patterns from the past? How might that free me to create a more powerful vision for the future?\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday early evening,</b> <b>at 5:14 pm EST,</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 14 hours, <b>until 7:05 am EST (Sunday morning)</b>. Use this intuitive time to explore any beliefs connected to past experiences that left you feeling disempowered: How could a compassionate approach to the past allow for a new perspective?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your Saturday evening and Sunday early morning ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Late Saturday evening at 11:28 pm EST </b><i>Mercury changes signs from freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> to creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i>.</b> It will journey through Pisces until <b>March 6<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b>. We are moving from the mind into the heart. For these next two weeks, we get a chance to communicate with compassion -- we see the commonalities between us all, rather than what separates us.\r\n\r\nWe seem to be connected to Source more easily during this time -- if we allow that energy to come through -- and our thinking will be very creative, imaginative and intuitive.\r\n\r\nThe key with this energy is to remain in the “here and now” and open up to a higher vibration. If we can do that, we will be able to download information from an intuitive place, rather than thinking things through. This could also be the reason why our mind is slowing down a bit and why we speak more softly.\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> also offers us an opportunity to let go of any mental structures, conditionings or fears that are no longer serving us. If you are not connected to your intuition, you may want to double check with other people, before signing any documents or buying any big-ticket items. Are you ready to connect to your intuition more fully? Can you allow for the unfolding process, trusting your higher Self more fully?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more talkative during this time. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you may need to learn to surrender to a slower pace and connect more fully to your heart and intuition.  </i>\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday (Feb. 18<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>): </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><b> </b>and<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><b> until 7:05am EST.</b>\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday morning at 7:05 am EST </b><i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries,</i></b> where it will remain <b>until Tuesday afternoon</b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday afternoon at 12:18 pm</b> <i>the Sun moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> where it will remain <b>until March 20th. </b>This brings our awareness to our sense of oneness with everyone and everything around us. We feel like sponges, able to pick up all energy around us; this also makes us more sensitive and emotional. We are more drawn towards expressing ourselves in a creative or spiritual way.\r\n\r\nMusic or energy healing gives us vitality and can heighten our own personal vibrations. We need to slow down a little and listen to our intuition more fully -- if we ignore our feelings and the subtle messages we are getting, we will most likely feel more anxious and somewhat frustrated. This could also be connected to the slow pace that our body or our surroundings are demanding of us.\r\n\r\nThe keyword here is \"allowing\": as best as you can, be aware of what you are resisting, moment to moment, and create some space -- allow it to be as it is. Notice when you are picking up someone else\'s feelings rather than your own.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces </i></b><i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, your vitality will depend on allowing things to flow and being gentle with yourself.</i>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\">Last but not least, </span><b>Sunday </b><span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\"><b>after </b></span><b>7:05am EST, </b> you have all day to set your Solar Eclipse <span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\">Intentions. </span>Make them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the <strong>Aquarian</strong> energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>.

This felt very much in alignment with the Station phases and Chiron in that last degree of Pisces! :-)\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: Pluto\'s Station intensifies on Monday, Chiron changes signs from Pisces to Aries on Tuesday early morning, Saturn comes to a halt on Tuesday late evening -- starting its 4.5-month retrograde phase -- while the Sun changes signs from Aries to Taurus on Thursday late evening. Mercury\'s Station phase ends on Friday, which is also the day you can start taking actions on your New Moon Intentions. Finally, Pluto comes to a halt on Sunday, starting its 5-month retrograde phase.\r\n\r\nThere will also be four <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Monday very early morning (for almost 3 hours), Tuesday early evening (for 14 hours), Friday morning (for almost 2.5 hours), and Sunday late morning (for a little over 2 hours).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (April 16th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced <strong> Aries</strong></em><strong> until 4:51am EDT.</strong>  <strong>At 1:59am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 3 hours, <strong>until 4:51am EDT.</strong> Use this intuitive time to connect with people that can enthusiastically support your projects and share with them what you have going on.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can,...\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\r\n<strong> GET IT ALL!

What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\nAlso<b> on Monday</b>, <i>Pluto station intensifies</i><i> </i><b>until April 28th. </b>It will come to a halt on April 22nd in 21 degrees of <b>Capricorn </b>(more on that later this week). When an outer planet stations, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us -- and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take a closer look at whatever is \"in your face\" <b>for the next 3 weeks.</b> Look for what might no longer be in alignment with your soul\'s purpose (your deep, authentic, emotional Self).\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Where am I holding on, out of fear? What habits, behaviors or fears are holding me back from feeling fully empowered from within? What would it look like, if I was fully aligned with my Soul-purpose? How would it feel? When we confront our fears we very often discover hidden gifts and strengths.\r\n\r\nFeel free to watch our mp4 video presentation on this month\'s Saturn and Pluto Station and Retrograde phases in relationship to our own Birth charts...To purchase this webinar, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">click here. </a>\r\n\r\n<b>Special Offer extended until April 22nd: </b>If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-) <b>Please note </b>that we will be talking about Chiron moving into Aries and Uranus moving into Taurus, in our next Forum.

In the same spirit, we might also have a tendency to live beyond our means.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs you can see, we need to watch out for feeling overly-optimistic or -enthusiastic. Moderation is the keyword, with regard to both finances and our affections: Check your bank account... and keep it real ;-) Find the balance between what you value in yourself versus what others could contribute to your sense of empowerment.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\nOn <b>Tuesday at 4:12am EDT</b>, <i>Chiron moves from dreamy, sensitive <b>Pisces</b> to fast-paced, enthusiastic <b>Aries</b>, </i>where it will journey <b>until Sept. 25th</b> -- you can regard this as a preview of coming attractions, since Chiron will move into Aries in 2019... and then stay in that sign for 8 years!\r\n\r\nWhat is the significance of Chiron? It\'s considered the bridge between the limitations of the physical and the unlimited nature of the non-physical (or spiritual) world. Often referred to as the \"Wounded Healer\", it reminds us of our humanity -- and guides us to see it as a gift.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWhen we take responsibility for our human limitations and move past seeing them as \"wrong\" or \"bad\", our inner gifts and uniqueness can emerge more completely and powerfully.\r\n\r\nLet\'s look now at <b>Chiron </b>in<b> Aries:</b><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>The day after Chiron moves into Aries, the Sun conjuncts Uranus in that same sign. This points to the possibility that Chiron\'s journey through Aries will place a strong emphasis on liberation of the self.\r\n\r\nChiron in <strong>Aries</strong> is all about the wounded warrior, the Healer-Hero that emerges from a Warrior\'s healing journey. The healing path consists of seeing, acknowledging, embracing, and finally loving ourselves just as we are: physically, emotionally<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>and spiritually -- especially when it comes to our personal goals, leadership and inspirational abilities, our ability to take action, our \"masculine\" drive.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nBroadly speaking, then: our capacity to go after what we desire...\r\n\r\nWe get to see that we all have the ability to heal, and be healed, through our actions. Each of us can step into our inner healer in our own unique way.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nYou can ask yourself: What is the next step on the path of healing for my inner child, my inner wounding? How were my ancestors wounded around \"the masculine\"? What step can I personally take on that healing path?\r\n\r\nChiron in <strong>Aries</strong> also has us look at some of the following: How we express our anger (or how we do not express it), how we might further heal our relationship to our body (this includes sexuality, gender, etc.) and our personal desires; how we do or do not take initiative, display courage, and practice self-determination.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAsk: What would a healthy sense of identity, independence, and willpower enable me to do? Might accepting my limitations lead to unique ways to move with those energies? What makes me an individual? What are my unique desires and goals?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nThere is also an emphasis on injuries (especially head injuries), physical flaws, issues around anger and assertion of our anger, impatience, being ok with who we are. All of these issues could feel sensitive and fire off our \"triggers\" or bring up shame.\r\n\r\nOne thing is for sure: Chiron in Aries will show us a new perspective and will open new doors of healing for us -- likely a physically active Healing Journey. To the extent that this transit highlights our leadership abilities, the journey is toward becoming a different kind of leader, a non-traditional one.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nThis question lies at the heart of that journey: How do we channel our masculine energy?\r\n\r\nThis is a very important question, if we are to become a conscious, holistic warrior. Picture the film actors Bruce Lee, Jet Li, or Michelle Yeah -- they are consciously connecting the active physical with the emotional and spiritual -- through martial arts in their case -- you might also picture a great practitioner of Yoga -- we\'re talking here about a conscious, holistic relationship to physical dynamics.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWhat do we see in great practitioners of these arts?\r\n\r\nAmong other things, they seem to understand that impatience is wanting to move faster than what is required in the now moment.\r\n\r\nThey take responsibility for their triggers around reactivity, impatience, aggression, inconsiderate leadership, etc. and have an understanding for where it comes from (ancestors history, childhood) and what the impact is on others.\r\n\r\nThey look for unique ways to express themselves and channel those energies in a healthy way, sometimes in a new, non-traditional way. They ask \"What might be the alternatives here?\"\r\n\r\nThey are compassionate with themselves and others when it comes to expressing masculine energies.\r\n\r\nLike them, this journey of Chiron through <strong>Aries</strong> is not about aggression, but rather assertiveness. For all of us, whatever our starting point, it is also about acknowledging and embracing limitations around anger. We also need an open, compassionate awareness as to whether we are responding or \"reacting\" to our circumstances.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs we develop understanding for our inner \"wounded\" child and our \"human\" limitations (in parallel with the above) we build a space for compassion. In fact, I recommend you celebrate your limitations. Why? Because that means you are compassionately aware of them -- and awareness is always the first step towards healing.\r\n\r\nWalking these paths can continually recreate us as leaders with an holistic approach and a healing, compassionate presence.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWere you born between April 1968 and May 1976? Or Oct. 1976 - March 1977? If the answer is yes, you have Chiron in Aries in your a natal chart and will have a Chiron Return within the next 8-9years.\r\n\r\nIn the next Forum, we\'ll be talking about Chiron moving into <strong>Aries</strong> and Uranus moving into <strong>Taurus</strong> -- major shifts! And here\'s our <b>Special Offer again: </b>if you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for the next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get that Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar recording mentioned above for FREE ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 0-3 degrees</i><b><i> </i></b><i>of</i><b><i><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> Aries, Libra, </span>Capricorn, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this transit over the next 5.5 months. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, since Chiron will move through this sign until April 2027.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 9:04am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening (April 14th) on; it will remain strong until this Thursday evening.</strong> This aspect brings a fruitful and rewarding period in our lives. We experience new depths of intimacy (with an existing or new partner), we learn to appreciate the important people in our lives, and our value system transforms and evolves.\r\n\r\nThis is likely an excellent period for finances as well. Work we\'ve done might pay off, and we are able to manage our finances better, with more attention to sustainability, planning, and strategy -- as well as the elimination of anything that no longer serves us. We might renew a commitment, or bring new, deeper and more intimate energy into a relationship under the influence of this aspect.\r\n\r\nOur sexual lives might get a real boost now, as we tend to want to connect on a deeper level. We might find ourselves strongly attracted to someone, almost to the point of obsession. If this aspect connects with any of your personal planets, you might just meet the \"love of your life\". <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nOne thing is for sure -- relationships experienced now are bound to be unforgettable. While this transit tends to signal new or strengthened relationships, any relationship that ends during this cycle may leave us feeling liberated. What are you feeling drawn to on a deep instinctual level? What deep desires are surfacing? What values can you no longer compromise on?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees </i><i>of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> will be most blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Venus being the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday until 6pm EDT,</strong> if you haven\'t set your <em>Intentions</em> yet, this is your last chance to do so during the most potent time! If possible, align them with the New Moon energies that I spoke about in my last video — feel free to watch it again if you are not sure anymore — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here to watch my video on the New Moon</a>: https://youtu.be/J1ILKRA2_pI<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>;-)\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:05pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for 14 hours, <strong>until 8:02am EDT (Wednesday morning).</strong> Use this intuitive time to<span style=\"color: #993300;\"> </span>take care of anything that has value for you on a physical level.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

We will also get clear on what is realistic when it comes to achieving our goals.\r\n\r\nThis is partly because our physical realities may feel like they have come to a complete halt. Take a deep breath whenever you can, as often as you can (especially Monday through Wednesday night of this week).\r\n\r\nSaturn represents our structures, responsibilities, commitments -- and our ability to \"do\" life on life\'s terms. When this planet comes to a halt and turns retrograde, we get to see where we need to create or renew our commitments. As best as you can, take it all in and see where you would like to make adjustments. You will get a chance to do just that for the next 4.5 months.\r\n\r\nFeel free to watch our mp4 video presentation on this month\'s Saturn and Pluto Station and Retrograde phases in relation to our own Birth charts...To purchase this webinar, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">click here.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span></a>\r\n\r\n<b>Remember the Special Offer: </b>If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE -- two for one ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>If you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-10 degrees of</i><b><i> </i></b><b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Aries</i></b><b><i> </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Libra,</i></b><i> you will be more affected by this station and retrograde-phase. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (Saturn being the ruler of Capricorn).</i> <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (April 18th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">steady, peaceful  </span><strong>Taurus</strong></em><strong> </strong>and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><strong> until 8:02am EDT</strong> (see Monday early morning and Tuesday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 8:02am EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <strong>until Friday late morning</strong>. For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way... The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late morning</strong>, <em>a Sun/Uranus alignment in 28.5 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> becomes exact at 10:00am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday night (April 14th) on; it will remain strong until this Saturday evening. </strong>This alignment brings confidence and a desire to connect with others through a common cause. We may have sudden insights into our friendships -- and how they connect us to a bigger vision. We know that if we want to move to the next level, we need to strategize with others.\r\n\r\nWe are also asked to connect to the unusual. Our creative core is awakened: We feel compelled to express ourselves in unique (or at least unconventional) ways. Our consciousness expands, we are receptive to new ways of thinking, doing, and living; this increased openness to all that is new and different may bring unexpected opportunities.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned in the <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">New Moon video</a> I posted earlier last week, Uranus symbolizes the desire for freedom, equality, and progress. Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>, aligned with the Sun, asks us to break away from whatever keeps us from stepping up our game. Shifts are happening everywhere. It\'s time to develop some courage and awareness: Where do you want to step up? If you made a big leap, where might you land?\r\n\r\nOne thing to remember: Keeping the heart and mind open could make a big difference to the experience of this alignment.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 25-2 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Cancer, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius) </i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (April 19th)</strong>: <i>the</i> <i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><strong> all day</strong> (see Wednesday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 11:13pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Sun changes signs from adventurous, speedy </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> to peaceful, steady </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until May 20th</strong><b>. </b>For the next four weeks, our attention is on physical pleasures, and we are more aware of our need for comfort and consistency. The Sun in Taurus reminds us to slow down and smell the roses.\r\n\r\nWe are able to be very consistent and methodical, which helps us bring groundedness and reality to our new goals. We focus on what is most important to us. What do you value most? How do you feel about yourself and what you bring to the table?\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Taurus, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo, your vitality will most likely slow down and you might indulge in physical or material pleasures.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (April 20th)</strong>: <i>the</i> <i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><strong> until 10:26am EDT</strong> (see Wednesday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 8:05am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 2.5 hours, <strong>until 10:26am EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday morning ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 10:26am EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Sunday early afternoon</strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday around 11:16am EDT: i</strong>f you set <i>intentions</i> last Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday, right after the New Moon became exact, <strong>today</strong> will be a <i>great time to take relevant actions</i>. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to you?\r\n\r\nAlso <strong>on Friday</strong>, <i>Mercury resumes its normal pace through the sky <strong>today</strong>, ending its station:</i> Communication and transportation are now back to “normal”, as are any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc. New ideas and information received during the Mercury retrograde phase can now be reviewed -- What could you do with that now?\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (April 21st)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>protective, nurturing </i><strong>Cancer</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Friday late morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday early afternoon, </strong>we are in a state of “flow” and emotional connection to others; spiritual and creative endeavors are favored.\r\n\r\n<em><strong>Saturday early evening:</strong></em> our instincts and need for safety are strongly engaged. We are invited to create a balance between the familiar, and our passion, ambitions, and goals for the future.\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday evening, </b>a nice feeling of ease and an ability to trust and connect deeply with others. As best as you can, trust your intuitive sensing right now, allow whatever comes up to be beneficial for you.\r\n\r\n<b>I</b><b>n the late evening,</b> we may take an all-or-northing attitude toward others; this could drive some tension or oppositional behaviors... As best you can, remain flexible and practice self-care — take good care of your emotional and physical body -- that way, you\'ll remain able to empower yourself and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (April 22nd)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Cancer</strong></em><strong> until 1:09pm EDT</strong> (see Friday late morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 10:58am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 2 hours, <strong>until 1:09pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to make adjustments and (as best as you can) find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. Make space both for going after your vision and for taking care of emotional or family issues.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday late morning and early afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 11:26am EDT</strong>, <i>Pluto comes to a halt in 21 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, starting its 5-month retrograde phase</i> (until Sept. 30th). Pluto\'s energy will continue to move more slowly until May 5th.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs I already mentioned on Monday, when an outer planet stops, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us -- and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\r\n\r\nDuring the retrograde phase, we will have a chance to connect to anything associated with Pluto from within. Pluto is associated with our soul purpose, as well as the process of empowerment -- our ability to feel empowered from within -- and with our deepest passions. This forced us to see what really motivates us.\r\n\r\n<strong>For the next 5 months,</strong> we need to tap into inner authenticity, embracing the entirety of ourselves — the good, the bad, and the ugly. Paradoxically, this will help us let go of any habits, behaviors or fears that are holding us back from feeling fully empowered from within.\r\n\r\nWe are invited to tap into our passion, strength and Soul\'s purpose from the inside out. This deeper connection will support us in our journey towards authenticity. We can then build long-term goals that are aligned with our Soul\'s purpose. Ask yourself: What do I \"just know\", deep down?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-23 degrees of</i> <b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><i>? If so,<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>you will feel this station/retrograde more strongly.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b> <i>(Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i> <i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 1:09pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into fun-loving (and attention-loving) </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Tuesday late afternoon.</strong><b> </b>We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nIf there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\nThis Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Saturday late evening).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early evening, at 5:46pm EDT</strong>, <i>the first Quarter Moon in almost 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo </i></b>becomes exact. <b>We started to feel this aspect from the moment the Moon entered Leo <strong> earlier today at 1:09pm EDT</strong>. </b>The Moon in fun and attention-loving <b>Leo </b>makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in steady,<i> </i>peaceful <b>Taurus</b><b>.</b>\r\n\r\nWe feel compelled to take action. The New Moon took place a week ago (April 15th); \"seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making their first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day interactions with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 0-5 degrees of</i><b><i> Leo, Taurus, Aquarius</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (April 23rd)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>fun and attention-loving </i><strong>Leo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Sunday early afternoon for details).<i> Also,<b> Monday night/Tuesday very early morning</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an opportune Mars/ Saturn aspect</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> becomes exact </span><b>at 1:13am EDT</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More about all the details in next week’s forecast ;-)</span>\r\n<h3>One Last Announcement:</h3>\r\nJoin me for my next FORECASTING FORUM, <b>Monday</b>, <b>April 30th, 2018 at </b>12pm<b> </b>PDT/<b> 3pm EDT</b>/8pm BST (London-time).<b> Please note </b><strong>that we will be talking about Chiron in Aries and Uranus in Taurus.

Self-Care is key ;-)<!--more-->\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 4:51pm EST, </strong>we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for almost 7 hours, <strong>until 11:42pm EST. </strong>Use this intuitive time to make adjustments and (as best as you can) find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. Make space both for going after your vision and for taking care of emotional or family issues.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 11:42pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <b>until Wednesday night/Thursday <strong>very early morning</strong>. </b>We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising.\r\n\r\nWe all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-) So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can.\r\n\r\nFun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (Feb. 27th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving </i><strong><b><i>Leo </i>all day </b></strong>(see Monday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday early morning</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Pluto aspect </em>becomes exact at 5:20am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Sunday evening on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday evening. </strong>We have an opportunity here, to bring all of our passion to what we value most -- to build something with spiritual or creative value.\r\n\r\nThis could be a powerful and passionate time in our romantic relationships. We have the opportunity to build something long-term and bring a good dose of faith to that process. Remember: this is an \"opportunity\" -- opportunities aren\'t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio or Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (Feb. 28th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving </i><strong><b><i>Leo </i>all day</b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Monday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 6:13pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 6.5 hours, <strong>until 12:57am EST (Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning). </strong>Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self — explore, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday evening/night ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday evening</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Mars aspect </em>becomes exact at 6:56pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning on; it will remain strong until Friday morning. </strong>This aspect<i> </i>brings some juicy energy to our conversations. This is a chance to have some discussions that have been overdue.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, make it a productive discussion that serves you and others -- a win-win -- otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards. Also, watch out on the road for some crazy drivers… rushing might not necessarily get us there faster ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in </i><i>17-23 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Pisces, Sagittarius,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late evening</strong>, <em>an opportune Mercury/Pluto aspect </em>becomes exact at 11:42pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday morning. </strong>This aspect is an opportunity to deepen or transform areas of our lives that need it.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also an opportunity to do more research, so we can build something meaningful, all while learning about our authentic motivations. Remember: opportunities aren\'t on \"automatic\"... we have to go after them, realize them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point or personal planets in 18-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.

We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<b> </b>This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the</i> <em>Full Moon</em> (exact later this evening).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 6:22am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday evening on; it will remain strong until this Saturday evening. </strong>Harmony and goodwill reign under this influence. We experience expansive feelings in love and a feeling that anything is possible if we set our sights high enough.\r\n\r\nWe are more likely to be friendly, open, and optimistic -- it\'s a great time for winning people\'s trust, making it much easier to make social contacts. We believe in our relationships and we have faith that all is going to work out for the best.\r\n\r\nWe might feel an urge to connect to people from other countries or foreign cultures, just to have an adventure, or widen our horizons. Financially, there might be a tendency to spend more than usual, as we feel confident that an abundance of resources is available to us. The thing to watch out for is the feeling that we don\'t have to actually do anything to \"cash in\".\r\n\r\nThat said, there are plenty of opportunities to be explored (financial and otherwise), especially in connection with spiritual or creative endeavors, Businesses and partnerships that deal with intimacy or transformational work, with the film, fashion and music industry, with educational businesses or endeavors, or with the travel industry are also highlighted ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or <b>Cancer</b></i><i>? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\nAs mentioned above, the Moon’s entrance<i> </i>into<i> </i><b>Virgo</b> on <strong>Thursday very early morning started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon </i>that will be \"exact\" today</strong><b> (Thursday), at 7:51pm EST, </b><i>in 11 degrees of</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b>.\r\n\r\n<em>A Full Moon</em> is always an opposition between the Moon and the Sun. During these oppositions, we seek balance, alignment and integration around two perspectives that seem like polar opposites; very often we experience this (and achieve it) through our interactions with others... so relationships of all kinds are highlighted during Full Moons. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/discernment-from-the-heart/\">Feel free to also watch my video for more</a>\r\n\r\nToday, the Moon in <b>Virgo </b>opposes the Sun in <b>Pisces.</b> Virgo seeks physical &amp; practical wholeness; Pisces reminds us of an even greater wholeness — our divinity and interconnectedness with all of life.\r\n\r\nVirgo benefits from apprenticeship, whereas Pisces learns to trust inner guidance above all else -- when balanced, we are able to discern without judgment, serve without obligation, and love all of creation, including ourselves. Virgo analyzes, Pisces feels. We are invited to discern what\'s real, so we can make healthier choices.\r\n\r\nTo find the <i>balance between </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> and </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, ask yourself: Where do I need to be more selective? Where do I need to be more accepting? How can I tap into my inner knowingness and make practical choices? What if “choosing\" was already (and always) in alignment with divine timing?\r\n\r\nAll Full Moons bring awareness to a polarity, and this illuminates the shadow sides of both signs (in this case Virgo and Pisces).\r\n\r\nVirgo\'s shadow side is \"Judgement\", as this creates separation from others and a split within ourselves. It closes our heart. It limits our ability to learn. It keeps us stuck in duality, defending our position or attacking others. It\'s showing up when we label things as good or bad, rather than seeing them in terms of useful or unproductive.\r\n\r\nWhen we draw on the higher vibrations of Pisces we can more easily connect with the higher vibration of Virgo. Pisces\'s best qualities are compassion, intuitiveness, open-heartedness, inspirational creativity and imagination. At its best, Pisces understands that we are all souls in various states of development, doing the best we can.\r\n\r\nThe shadow side of Pisces is a lack of boundaries, ambiguity, escapism, helplessness or victimization; when we draw on the best qualities of Virgo we can move back into the higher vibration of Pisces again. Virgo\'s best qualities are the ability to choose wisely, and discern objectively what works and what doesn\'t.\r\n\r\nWhen both sides are integrated well, we have the acuity and sharpness of the mind, united with the wisdom of our heart and our intuitive guidance.\r\n\r\nWhat if I could find the synergy between my emotional, intuitive understanding and my rational, scientific understanding? Do I really have to choose between scientific facts and intuitive knowingness... What if I could have both? How might that be possible?\r\n\r\nFor the next two weeks, Virgo asks us to become aware of the clutter that is distracting us from our priorities; ask yourself: What in my current daily life is nourishing? And what might be toxic?\r\n\r\nVirgo\'s highest vibration is also about Service. To be of service, we must acquire discernment — not judgement, not criticism, not perfectionism, but the ability to focus objectively on what is helpful, and set aside the rest. In order to serve, we have to first realize that we have something to offer.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What if I didn\'t have to be perfect to be of service? What might I notice if I were 5% more mindful of my inner dialog? What if I brought 5% more compassion to myself? Even to my inner critic?\r\n\r\nThe last New Moon (on February 15th) was a Solar Eclipse, signaling the ending and beginning of a 19-year cycle. It shows us what remains to be healed, integrated, or released in order for us to take the next big step on our Soul\'s path.\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun, Neptune, Mercury, Venus and Chiron are all in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, drawing us inward, to be in silence and solitude as much as possible. We are to hear the quiet truth of our intuition and release what no longer serves our Soul\'s growth.\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon opposes Neptune, and the Sun conjuncts Neptune...</i> Ask yourself: If I\'m honest with myself, what would I notice that feels draining to me, rather than inspiring? What might happen if I surrendered my personal will 5% more to divine will? Could I be open to receiving guidance directly from my higher Self, my Soul-Self? If my feelings had words and could speak, what would they say? What would my dreams say? What message might my intuition have to give me?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>, conjunct Venus (exalted in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>):</i> Everything is made up of energy and therefore interconnected. If we can recognize that we all do the best we can, at any given time, and that on a spiritual level there are no mistakes, only experiences, we can learn about empathy -- and our brain will literally rewire itself towards compassion, rather than criticism.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What might be possible if I allowed my mind to be just 5% more relaxed? What if I stood in allowing, curiosity, and creative spaciousness? Am I currently using my imagination to inspire or scare myself? Do I have a tendency to go towards the worst case scenarios, or best case scenarios? What might \"love\" choose?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury/Venus alignment also conjuncts Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces --</i></b> this is an opportunity for healing: Chiron, the wounded healer, reminds us that anything can heal through the power of acceptance and love, and that healing happens by reclaiming and re-integrating those parts of ourselves that seem limited or \"imperfect\".\r\n\r\nCheck to see: do I feel unloved? Unworthy? Simply not good enough? And if I have those feelings, could I allow them simply to be here, just for right now? Could I be open to the possibility that these feelings are coming up right now, to be acknowledged and released?\r\n\r\nCheck to see if you are maybe revisiting themes from late January and from April of last year, when Venus was conjunct Chiron in Pisces. Ask yourself: What was present in my relationships with others back then? Or my relationship with the divine? Did I have any realizations? Any understanding of what needs to heal further?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury/Venus/Chiron alignment trines Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio </i></b><i>(stationing at the time of the FM, therefore exalted).</i> This supports a connection to our emotional/spiritual body.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How might a deeper, authentic, emotional approach support my connection to my divinity and my related healing process? What new perspectives or higher truths might I find?\r\n\r\nIf I looked at my human limitations through the lens of the human-soul alliance, is it at least possible that this would deepen my relationships with others?\r\n\r\nWe will also go into Jupiter\'s movement in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the Jupiter Station and Retrograde phase is going to impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up to our own birth charts.\r\n\r\nThe next Forum is next week <b>Friday</b>, <b>March 2nd, 2018 at </b>12pm<b> </b>PST/<b> 3pm EST</b>/8pm GMT (London-time). To join for FREE, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/JLFckh\">become a Star or SuperStar Member</a> on my site. For more info about the Forums, or to register as at the regular fee, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">click here</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> squares the Mercury/Venus/Chiron alignment in </i><b><i>Pisces.</i></b> Squares always ask us to stretch and grow -- this particular square, with <i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> vs. Mercury/Venus in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>is all about fast vs. slow, extroverted vs. introverted, physical vs. emotional inspiration, impulsive vs. thoughtful, meditative vs. direct, straightforward vs. ambiguous or long-winded. Phew.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What would it look like if I could walk my talk 5% more, instead of getting caught up in idealized phantasies or dreams? What if I looked within before leaping into action? What daily practice could support my looking before I leap? What if my truths applied to me only? How might this contribute to my inner peace?\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon invites us to \"be love\" in thought and action. It also reminds us that our mindfulness and open heart make a difference, not only in our own life, but in the world. Before taking action (or if you are simply feeling ambitious about something) ask yourself: What would love do? What would my heart say, if it had words and could speak?\r\n\r\nRather than pushing, over-thinking or giving up, I invite you to conduct small, simple experiments and have faith in universal support…\r\n\r\n<b>For the next two weeks</b>, ask yourself: Where is the balance point of intellect and intuition? Striving and surrender? What if I trusted 5% more in the \"perfect\" outcome?\r\n\r\n<i>To sum it all up:</i> This Full Moon reminds us that, no matter what chaos, intensity and craziness might be going on outside of us, we have only to look inside to find our truth, to find peace. It’s in our hearts that we\'ll find what matters -- and what we can believe in whole-heartedly. Peace comes from within, from each one of us... We are what we choose to be in every “moment of now”... so choose wisely!\r\n\r\nAs best as you can therefore, simply observe like a scientist, from a place of neutrality and curiosity. Notice what serves you in the moment.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/discernment-from-the-heart/\">To learn more about all aspects connected to this month\'s Full Moon, please click here to watch my video</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point, or personal planets in 9-13 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>?

We see the bigger picture, communicate more positively and readily inspire others.\r\n\r\nWe are tolerant of other perspectives and ideas, naturally avoid narrow-minded thinking, and feel at ease reconnecting with people from all walks of life. We might be drawn to exploring foreign languages, cultures, spiritual practices and countries. What learning would expand your horizons?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or <b>Cancer</b></i><i>?

You may also want to plan Friday evening/night ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 3rd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><em><i>detail-oriented, practical </i></em><strong><em>Virgo</em> </strong>and<strong> <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> until 3:20am EST </strong>(see Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 3:20am EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into harmony-loving, balance-seeking </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>, where<i> </i>it will journey <strong>until Monday morning (March 5th)</strong><b>.</b> The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Saturday night,</strong> the <em>Jupiter Station intensifies in 23 degrees of <strong>Scorpio, </strong></em>as it is preparing to come to a halt next week Thursday. This station will last <b>until March 20th</b>.\r\n\r\nJupiter represents our desire to seek insight through deep knowledge. Some of this planet\'s keywords: morality; gratitude; hope; honor; the law. Jupiter is the planet of possibility, optimism, wisdom, understanding and growth (including mental and spiritual growth). Jupiter is also associated with our <i>sense of humor</i>, generosity, tolerance, goodwill, and mercy (<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/feb-19-25/\">see last week\'s blog entry for more details</a>).\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 21-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Taurus, Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> will be more affected by this station. This is also true for those of us with their Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 4th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking </i><strong><b><i>Libra</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Saturday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Sun/Neptune alignment in almost 14 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 8:54am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday morning on; it will remain strong until next week Wednesday morning (March 7th) . </strong>This alignment asks that we slow down and go within, allow for all energies to move through us -- being present and compassionate are the higher vibrations of this alignment -- we are more aware than ever that all things are interconnected.\r\n\r\nFeeling things -- and allowing everyone (ourselves included) to \"have their feelings\" -- is highly recommended. When we start to resist the flow of life, the flow of feeling, we will create fear and suffering. The remedy is to open our hearts and let love flow through us.\r\n\r\nWhen we get quiet and allow ourselves to be still for a moment, we sense our interconnectedness with all living things, our spiritual roots, the sacredness of all.\r\n\r\nIf, on the other hand, we are unable to connect to our divine essence, if we focus only on what\'s outside of us, we will feel separate -- and this illusion of separateness might cause us to look for an escape from our harsh \"realities\".\r\n\r\nWhat might be possible if we simply let go of fear-based thinking altogether for a moment, and instead simply connected to our wise heart, trusting the perfection of each \"now\" moment? What if we were to let go of all expectations and open our heart to the miracle of life?\r\n\r\nThis is about surrendering to the moment of now, to love, to our heart -- not about giving up -- rather, allowing \"what is\" to be ok, to see the perfection of \"right now\".\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 11-17 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b><i>(The Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early afternoon</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Venus alignment in almost 26 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 1:05pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday on; it will remain strong until next week, Thursday evening (March 8th). </strong>This is an excellent time to share about love, compassion, animals, spiritual endeavors, some ideal, music, dreams, meditation techniques -- or anything we feel intuitive connected to -- and also about any teaching endeavors connected to those areas.\r\n\r\nThis alignment supports communicating from a compassionate, intuitive heart -- and in fact, it becomes essential to connect to people with whom we feel a strong affinity. We wish to form those connections in a spirit of harmony, sensitivity and equality. In fact, we generally tend to have a strong sense of fairness at this time, and want to be around people who share these values.\r\n\r\nWe also thoroughly enjoy the written and spoken word -- literature, wordplay, puns, moving conversations -- especially when the words are imaginative and speak of something romantic, inspiring, spiritual or creative.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Virgo, Gemini, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus  </i></b><i>(Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late afternoon</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Chiron alignment in almost 27.5 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 4:25pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday night on; it will remain strong until next week, Tuesday morning (March 7th). </strong>This it allows us to communicate our flaws and insecurities, and thereby begin to heal them.\r\n\r\nBringing compassion and understanding to our past wounds can feel very empowering and healing; doing the same for others is going to feel really good. Remember: what you can do for yourself, you can do for others more easily, and vice versa.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, whatever you do <i>or</i> don\'t communicate: cut yourself a little slack. Being human means making mistakes from time to time; there is no shame in that -- we always learn the most from our mistakes -- mistakes are our gold.\r\n\r\nDouble-check: does avoiding or judging my past mistakes actually serve me? Or anyone else? Could I be open to the possibility that all \"mistakes\" -- past, present and future -- exist to serve my evolution?  If that were true: what would need reevaluating?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 24-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

Social situations might feel awkward.\r\n\r\nWe may experience emotional triggers, so as best as you can, bring compassion and understanding to yourself, to others, and to those past experiences that wounded you. We need to learn to love ourselves, and heal deep fears of being \"not good enough\". Healing happens much faster when we are open to forgiving and embracing ourselves exactly as we are (and are not).\r\n\r\nFor those of you who want to have a better understanding of your personal healing journey, feel free to get the recording of my recent <b>Chiron-workshop: \"Healing with Astrology\" . </b>Join any of my memberships and receive this recording for FREE (value $30):<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\">Click here for more info</a>.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 24-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

On the one hand, I heard \"relax, enjoy, be with what is\" -- this felt very much connected to Venus in Pisces.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, I was quite aware of my past-based patterns, and I practiced being kind to myself and asking questions, rather than dwell on the patterns themselves -- this felt connected to Jupiter in Scorpio. Of course, the Eclipse on Thursday threw me for a loop -- it took place in my 4th House. This is the area of home and family... And there were definitely some unexpected things going on there that had to be addressed. How are <em>you</em> moving with these energies?\r\n\r\n<b>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement: </b>\r\nI\'m still offering a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\"><b>super-dooper special launch discount</b></a> on site membership.

Why? <a href=\"https://goo.gl/aEhibk\">Click here</a> to read more about it\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: the first Quarter Moon in Gemini becomes exact on Friday; Eclipse season ends on Sunday, and among other things, that means you can start to take actions on your Solar Eclipse intentions that day -- and Jupiter begins its Station-phase on Sunday as well.\r\n\r\nThere will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Tuesday morning (for 8 hours), Thursday morning (for almost 12.5 hours), and Saturday afternoon (for a little over 7 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (February 19th): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><i>pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries </i><strong>all day.</strong></b> It will remain there <b>until Tuesday afternoon</b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday</strong><strong> </strong><b>morning</b> starts out harmoniously and with an urge to explore something new that helps us understand the bigger picture all around...\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\r\n<strong>WHOOPS! Looks like there\'s a member roadblock here. To enter this \"stargate\" and see the rest of the post -- as well as other awesome and exclusive content -- you must be a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\">site member</a>.

As best as you can, allow yourself to make space for both; flexibility and adaptability are key if we mean to move forward with our plans and projects...</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Last but not least, also on <strong>Monday until 4pm EST, </strong>it is still the best time to set<i> our powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse Intentions</i>. Doing so during a Solar Eclipse is a little different from the regular monthly New Moon process: we are setting those intentions for the whole 6-month Eclipse cycle, rather than just for the next 28 days.\r\n<b></b></p>\r\nMake them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the <b>Aquarian</b> energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nThis Solar Eclipse reminds us that to be fully alive requires us to constantly stretch, grow, and change. So, while writing your intentions, ask yourself: What would it take for me to release old patterns from the past? How might that free me to create a more powerful vision for the future?\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (February 20th): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><i>pioneering, fast-paced </i><strong><b><i>Aries</i></b></strong><strong><em> </em>until 2:12pm EST </strong>(see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:11am EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for 8 hours, <strong>until 2:12pm EST. </strong>Use this intuitive time to connect to people that can enthusiastically support your projects and share with them what you have going on.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday morning until early afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 2:12pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves</i><b> </b><i>into steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Thursday evening.</strong> We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.\r\n\r\nIn other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (February 21st):</strong> <em>t</em><em>he Moon remains in steady, peaceful</em><strong><em> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> </em>all day </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon,</strong> <i>a Venus/Neptune alignment in 13.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> </i>becomes exact at 1:42pm EST. <b>We started to feel this aspect on Monday night, it will be strong until Friday night</b>. It asks us to dissolve anything that keeps us from opening our hearts more fully. This connection makes us dream of Soul connections with others.\r\n\r\nWe are highly romantic and may turn a blind eye to \"what is\", in pursuit of a fantasy that we want or need to have fulfilled. Beware of anything that sounds too good to be true -- whether that\'s in connection with people or money -- it might indeed be \"too good to be true\" ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Mercury/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 3:23pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning on; it will remain strong until this Thursday. </strong>This is an opportunity to take responsibility for our thinking structures and be really honest with ourselves.\r\n\r\nHow can we get the most from this opportunity? As best as you can, allow your intuitive body to guide you. Commit to understanding your conditioning and thinking processes.\r\n\r\nIf we take this chance to see things more clearly and connect to ourselves more lovingly, we could get a good dose of reality, and an ability to focus on long-term issues. Remember: opportunities are openings; they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 5-9 degrees of <strong>Capricorn, Pisces, Scorpio </strong>or <strong>Taurus</strong>? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (Feb. 22nd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <b><i>Taurus</i></b></em><strong><em> </em>until 7:07pm EST </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 6:46am EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 12.5 hours, <strong>until 7:07pm EST</strong>. Use this intuitive time to balance your desire for comfort and security with your desire for deeper emotional connections with yourself and others.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday Day ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 7:07pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <strong>until Saturday late evening</strong><b>.</b> For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way...\r\n\r\nThe one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-) This Moon placement starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Friday very early morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (Feb. 23rd):</strong> <em>the </em><i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b></strong>(see Thursday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday very early morning, at 3:09am EST, </strong><i>the first Quarter Moon in 4.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> </i>becomes exact (<b>we <strong>started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered <em>Gemini</em> on Thursday evening</strong>). </b>The Moon in chatty, versatile <b>Gemini</b> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in sensitive, compassionate <b>Pisces.</b>\r\n\r\nLast week (Feb. 15th) saw a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse. If we set some intentions on Feb. 17th, 18th or 19th, we are now ready to make some adjustments. This is a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum -- in fact, we may feel compelled to act, stirring up anxiety or overwhelm, so just go one breath at a time.\r\n\r\nRemember, we\'re still in Eclipse Season until Sunday, and thus don\'t have all the information we need to move brand-new projects forward yet. Allow for changes, remain flexible and adaptable, find creative solutions in day-to-day interactions with others. Allow for new downloads and for the release of “old” codes and conditioning. Simply put: an open mind and heart will serve us best (that\'s true in general, but especially true until Feb. 25th ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 2-7 degrees of</i><b><i> Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (Feb. 24th): </strong><em>the </em><i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b></strong><strong><em> </em>until 10:06pm EST </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 2:58pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 10:06pm EST. </strong>Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 10:06pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Monday late evening (Feb. 26th)</strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday night, </strong><em> </em><i>Jupiter starts to slow down (station) as it reaches 23 degrees of </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Scorpio</strong><i>, preparing for its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. </i>Jupiter will come to a halt on March 8th;<i> </i>its <i>station-phase</i> last <b>until March 20th.</b> We will feel its energy more forcefully during the station-phase.\r\n\r\nWe start to be more fully aware of Jupiter\'s energy; this awareness helps us to get more connected to those energies within us. We get to see where we need to embrace them more fully, so that we can use them in a healthy way, without getting lost in the lower vibrations of their expression.\r\n\r\n<b>Until March 20th</b>, we have to face what this planet is trying to communicate to us: Jupiter represents our desire to seek insight via the gaining of knowledge. Some of this planet\'s keywords: morality, gratitude, hope, honor, law. Jupiter is the planet of possibility, optimism, and growth (including mental and spiritual growth). Jupiter is also associated with a sense of humor, goodwill, and mercy.\r\n\r\nThe lower expressions of Jupiter include \"Oh, the heck with it\", \"I deserve this and more\", \"the rules do not apply to me\" -- generally speaking: too much of a good thing, blind optimism, excess, stretching the truth, overindulgence.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> 21-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Taurus, Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this station phase. This is also true for those of us who have our</i><i> or Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter rules Sagittarius, so Sagittarius will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (February 25th): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><em><i>protective, nurturing</i></em><strong><em><i> </i>Cancer </em>all day </strong>(see Saturday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Venus/Mars aspect </em>becomes exact at 7:01am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday night (Feb. 27th). </strong>This aspect asks that we stretch ourselves with regard to the feminine/masculine dynamic as it manifests both “inside” and “outside”: A shift needs to occur.\r\n\r\nThis can show up in several ways, either through romantic and sexual tensions that we might experience with others. We may tease each other, flirt with each other and/or play hard to get. Or we may find ourselves arguing in a very passionate way with the opposite sex. Competitiveness, anger, frustration, or angst might be present. Either way, this can be a very passionate time.\r\n\r\nBalancing and integrating masculine and feminine energies within ourselves would be very useful at this time.\r\n\r\nIf we experience these energies internally, there may be a desire for adventure -- or just for being still and \"adventuring\" into ourselves, our heart-space, our inner universe. The challenge might be that we feel pulled in two directions -- on the one hand, we want to feel \"one\" with others and connect to them through love and kindness. On the other hand, we want to be free and explore something new, outside of our familiar environment.\r\n\r\nWhat might it look like, if you made room for both of these energies?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in 15-22 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars is the ruler of Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Neptune alignment in 13.5 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:26am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Monday night (Feb. 26th). </strong>This aspect could take our connection to our intuition even deeper -- if we can allow it.\r\n\r\nSpiritual and creative endeavors are highly recommended during this time -- especially those involving music or creative writing. This is definitely a highly imaginative time. As best as you can, go with the flow and -- just for now -- let go of wanting to figure it all out.\r\n\r\nThe highest vibration of this aspect is idealistic, highly intuitive and romantic; on a lower level vibration, we might not see reality clearly and we might easily feel overwhelmed. We might get confused or disappointed; things might seem a little foggy, especially when it comes to communication, processing information, public transportation or daily traffic.\r\n\r\nCheck in with others before signing any documents or making long-term decisions for those three days: get reality checks! As best as you can, let go and let flow ;-) On the other hand, trust the divine timing of things and have faith that everything will turn out exactly as it needs to.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of  </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Sun/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 12:46pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (Feb. 27th). </strong>This aspect provides an opportunity to become aware of what needs to happen if we are to accomplish something concrete.\r\n\r\nWe have common sense at our disposal; we are willing to look reality in the eye and take responsibility for our life and how we live it. This is an opportunity to be more aware of our heart connection to the divine and to our intuitive selves -- and how it can benefit us both in terms of long-term goals, and in what we are focused on in the here and now. Again, remember: opportunities are openings, they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 5-9 degrees</i><b><i> </i></b><i>of </i><b><i>Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)</i><i></i>\r\n\r\nAlso on<strong> Sunday, </strong><em>Eclipse Season ends</em> that started on January 21st.

Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive.

What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (February 21st):</strong> <em>t</em><em>he Moon remains in steady, peaceful</em><strong><em> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> </em>all day </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon,</strong> <i>a Venus/Neptune alignment in 13.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> </i>becomes exact at 1:42pm EST. <b>We started to feel this aspect on Monday night, it will be strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Friday night</span></b>. It asks us to dissolve anything that keeps us from opening our hearts more fully. This connection makes us dream of Soul connections with others.\r\n\r\nWe are highly romantic and may turn a blind eye to \"what is\", in pursuit of a fantasy that we want or need to have fulfilled. Beware of anything that sounds too good to be true -- whether that\'s in connection with people or money -- it might indeed be \"too good to be true\" ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">10-17 degrees</span> of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>?

As best as you can, allow your intuitive body to guide you. Commit to understanding your conditioning and thinking processes.\r\n\r\nIf we take this chance to see things more clearly and connect to ourselves more lovingly, we could get a good dose of reality, and an ability to focus on long-term issues. Remember: opportunities are openings; they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">5-9 degrees</span> of Capricorn, Scorpio, Pisces or Virgo? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (Feb. 22nd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <b><i>Taurus</i></b></em><strong><em> </em>until 7:07pm EST </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 6:46am EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 12.5 hours, <strong>until 7:07pm EST</strong>. Use this intuitive time to balance your desire for comfort and security with your desire for a deeper, emotional connections with yourself and others.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

If we set some intentions on Feb. 17th, 18th or 19th, we are now ready to make some adjustments. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. In fact, we may feel compelled to act, stirring up anxiety or overwhelm, so just go one breath at a time.\r\n\r\nRemember, we\'re still in Eclipse Season until Sunday, and thus don\'t have all the information we need to move brand-new projects forward yet. Allow for changes, remain flexible and adaptable, find creative solutions in day-to-day interactions with others. Allow for new downloads and for the release of “old” codes and conditioning. Simply put: an open mind and heart will serve us best (that\'s true in general, but especially true until Feb. 25th ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 2-7 degrees of</i><b><i> Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (February 24th): </strong><em>the </em><i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b></strong><strong><em> </em>until 10:06pm EST </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 2:58pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 10:06pm EST.</strong> Use this intuitive time to ... As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-) (Moon sextiles Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 10:06pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Monday late evening (Feb. 26th)</strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, otherwise you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (February 25th): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><em><i>protective, nurturing</i></em><strong><em><i> </i>Cancer </em>all day </strong>(see Saturday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Venus/Mars aspect </em>becomes exact at 7:01am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday night (Feb. 27th). </strong>This aspect asks that we stretch ourselves with regard to the feminine/masculine dynamic as it manifests both “inside” and “outside”: A shift needs to occur.\r\n\r\nThis can show up in several ways, either through romantic and sexual tensions that we might experience with others. We may tease each other, flirt with each other and/or play hard to get. Or we may find ourselves arguing in a very passionate way with the opposite sex. Competitiveness, anger, frustration, or angst might be present. Either way, this can be a very passionate time.\r\n\r\nBalancing and integrating masculine and feminine energies within ourselves would be very useful at this time.\r\n\r\nIf we experience these energies internally, there may be a desire for adventure -- or just for being still and \"adventuring\" into ourselves, our heart-space, our inner universe. The challenge might be that we feel pulled in two directions -- on the one hand, we want to feel \"one\" with others, and connect through love and kindness... While on the other hand, we want to be free and explore something new, outside of our familiar environment.\r\n\r\nWhat might it look like, if you made room for both of these energies?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in 15-22 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra or Aries</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars is the ruler of Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Neptune alignment in 13.5 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:26am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Monday night (Feb. 26th). </strong>This aspect could take our connection to our intuition even deeper, if we allow it.\r\n\r\nSpiritual and creative endeavors are highly recommended during this time -- especially those involving music or creative writing. This is definitely a highly imaginative time. As best as you can, go with the flow and -- just for now -- let go of wanting to figure it all out.\r\n\r\nThe highest vibration of this aspect is idealistic, highly intuitive and romantic; on a lower level vibration, we might not see reality clearly and we might easily feel overwhelmed. We might get confused or disappointed; things might seem a little foggy, especially when it comes to communication, processing information, public transportation or daily traffic.\r\n\r\nCheck in with others before signing any documents or making long-term decisions for those three days: get reality checks! As best as you can, let go and let flow ;-) On the other hand, trust the divine timing of things and have faith that everything will turn out exactly as it needs to.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of  </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Sun/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 12:46pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (Feb. 27th). </strong>This aspect provides an opportunity to become aware of what needs to happen if we are to accomplish something concrete.\r\n\r\nWe have common sense at our disposal; we are willing to look reality in the eye, and take responsibility for our lives and how we connect to it. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">This is an opportunity to be more aware of our heart connection to the divine and our intuitive selves, and how this can benefit our long-term goals and what we are focusing on in the here and now.</span> Again, remember: opportunities are openings, they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 5-9 degrees</i><b><i> </i></b><i>of </i><b><i>Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Sunday, </strong><em> </em><i>Jupiter starts to slow down (station) as it reaches 23 degrees of </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Scorpio</strong><i>, preparing for its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. </i>Jupiter will come to a halt on March 8th;<i> </i>its <i>station-phase</i> last <b>until March 20th.</b> We will feel its energy more forcefully during the station-phase.\r\n\r\nWe start to be more fully aware of Jupiter\'s energy; this awareness helps us to get more connected to those energies within us. We get to see where we need to embrace them more fully, so that we can use them in a healthy way, without getting lost in the lower vibrations of their expression.\r\n\r\n<b>Until March 20th</b>, we have to face what this planet is trying to communicate to us: Jupiter represents our desire to seek insight through knowledge. Some of this planet\'s keywords include: morality; gratitude; hope; honor; the law. Jupiter is the planet of possibility, optimism and growth (including mental and spiritual growth). Jupiter is also associated with a sense of humor, goodwill, and mercy.\r\n\r\nThe lower expressions of Jupiter include \"Oh, the heck with it\", \"I deserve this and more\", \"the rules do not apply to me\" -- generally speaking: too much of a good thing, blind optimism, excess, stretching the truth, overindulgence.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">21-25 degrees</span> of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Taurus, Leo or Aquarius</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this station phase. This is also true for those of us who have our</i><i> or Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter rules Sagittarius, so Sagittarius will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\nAlso on<strong> Sunday, </strong><em>Eclipse Season ends</em> that started on January 21st.

What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (February 21st):</strong> <em>t</em><em>he Moon remains in steady, peaceful</em><strong><em> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> </em>all day </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon,</strong> <i>a Venus/Neptune alignment in 13.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> </i>becomes exact at 1:42pm EST. <b>We started to feel this aspect on Monday night, it will be strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Friday night</span></b>. It asks us to dissolve anything that keeps us from opening our hearts more fully. This connection makes us dream of Soul connections with others.\r\n\r\nWe are highly romantic and may turn a blind eye to \"what is\", in pursuit of a fantasy that we want or need to have fulfilled. Beware of anything that sounds too good to be true -- whether that\'s in connection with people or money -- it might indeed be \"too good to be true\" ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">10-17 degrees</span> of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>?

As best as you can, allow your intuitive body to guide you. Commit to understanding your conditioning and thinking processes.\r\n\r\nIf we take this chance to see things more clearly and connect to ourselves more lovingly, we could get a good dose of reality, and an ability to focus on long-term issues. Remember: opportunities are openings; they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">5-9 degrees</span> of Capricorn, Scorpio, Pisces or Virgo? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (Feb. 22nd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <b><i>Taurus</i></b></em><strong><em> </em>until 7:07pm EST </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 6:46am EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 12.5 hours, <strong>until 7:07pm EST</strong>. Use this intuitive time to balance your desire for comfort and security with your desire for a deeper, emotional connections with yourself and others.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Thursday Day</span> ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 7:07pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <strong>until Saturday late evening</strong><b>.</b> For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way...\r\n\r\nThe one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-) This Moon placement starts the build up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Friday very early morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (Feb. 23rd):</strong> <em>the </em><i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b></strong>(see Thursday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday very early morning, at 3:09am EST, </strong><i>the first Quarter Moon in <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">4.5 degrees</span> of </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> </i>becomes exact (<b>we <strong>started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered <em>Gemini</em> on Thursday evening</strong>). </b>The Moon in chatty, versatile <b>Gemini</b> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in sensitive, compassionate <b>Pisces.</b>\r\n\r\nLast week (Feb. 15th) saw a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse. If we set some intentions on Feb. 17th, 18th or 19th, we are now ready to make some adjustments. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. In fact, we may feel compelled to act, stirring up anxiety or overwhelm, so just go one breath at a time.\r\n\r\nRemember, we\'re still in Eclipse Season until Sunday, and thus don\'t have all the information we need to move brand-new projects forward yet. Allow for changes, remain flexible and adaptable, find creative solutions in day-to-day interactions with others. Allow for new downloads and for the release of “old” codes and conditioning. Simply put: an open mind and heart will serve us best (that\'s true in general, but especially true until Feb. 25th ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 2-7 degrees of</i><b><i> Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (February 24th): </strong><em>the </em><i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b></strong><strong><em> </em>until 10:06pm EST </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 2:58pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 10:06pm EST.</strong> Use this intuitive time to ... As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-) (Moon sextiles Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 10:06pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Monday late evening (Feb. 26th)</strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, otherwise you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (February 25th): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><em><i>protective, nurturing</i></em><strong><em><i> </i>Cancer </em>all day </strong>(see Saturday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Venus/Mars aspect </em>becomes exact at 7:01am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday night (Feb. 27th). </strong>This aspect asks that we stretch ourselves with regard to the feminine/masculine dynamic as it manifests both “inside” and “outside”: A shift needs to occur.\r\n\r\nThis can show up in several ways, either through romantic and sexual tensions that we might experience with others. We may tease each other, flirt with each other and/or play hard to get. Or we may find ourselves arguing in a very passionate way with the opposite sex. Competitiveness, anger, frustration, or angst might be present. Either way, this can be a very passionate time.\r\n\r\nBalancing and integrating masculine and feminine energies within ourselves would be very useful at this time.\r\n\r\nIf we experience these energies internally, there may be a desire for adventure -- or just for being still and \"adventuring\" into ourselves, our heart-space, our inner universe. The challenge might be that we feel pulled in two directions -- on the one hand, we want to feel \"one\" with others, and connect through love and kindness... While on the other hand, we want to be free and explore something new, outside of our familiar environment.\r\n\r\nWhat might it look like, if you made room for both of these energies?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in 15-22 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra or Aries</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars is the ruler of Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Neptune alignment in 13.5 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:26am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Monday night (Feb. 26th). </strong>This aspect could take our connection to our intuition even deeper, if we allow it.\r\n\r\nSpiritual and creative endeavors are highly recommended during this time -- especially those involving music or creative writing. This is definitely a highly imaginative time. As best as you can, go with the flow and -- just for now -- let go of wanting to figure it all out.\r\n\r\nThe highest vibration of this aspect is idealistic, highly intuitive and romantic; on a lower level vibration, we might not see reality clearly and we might easily feel overwhelmed. We might get confused or disappointed; things might seem a little foggy, especially when it comes to communication, processing information, public transportation or daily traffic.\r\n\r\nCheck in with others before signing any documents or making long-term decisions for those three days: get reality checks! As best as you can, let go and let flow ;-) On the other hand, trust the divine timing of things and have faith that everything will turn out exactly as it needs to.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of  </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Sun/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 12:46pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (Feb. 27th). </strong>This aspect provides an opportunity to become aware of what needs to happen if we are to accomplish something concrete.\r\n\r\nWe have common sense at our disposal; we are willing to look reality in the eye, and take responsibility for our lives and how we connect to it. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">This is an opportunity to be more aware of our heart connection to the divine and our intuitive selves, and how this can benefit our long-term goals and what we are focusing on in the here and now.</span> Again, remember: opportunities are openings, they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 5-9 degrees</i><b><i> </i></b><i>of </i><b><i>Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Sunday, </strong><em> </em><i>Jupiter starts to slow down (station) as it reaches 23 degrees of </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Scorpio</strong><i>, preparing for its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. </i>Jupiter will come to a halt on March 8th;<i> </i>its <i>station-phase</i> last <b>until March 20th.</b> We will feel its energy more forcefully during the station-phase.\r\n\r\nWe start to be more fully aware of Jupiter\'s energy; this awareness helps us to get more connected to those energies within us. We get to see where we need to embrace them more fully, so that we can use them in a healthy way, without getting lost in the lower vibrations of their expression.\r\n\r\n<b>Until March 20th</b>, we have to face what this planet is trying to communicate to us: Jupiter represents our desire to seek insight through knowledge. Some of this planet\'s keywords include: morality; gratitude; hope; honor; the law. Jupiter is the planet of possibility, optimism and growth (including mental and spiritual growth). Jupiter is also associated with a sense of humor, goodwill, and mercy.\r\n\r\nThe lower expressions of Jupiter include \"Oh, the heck with it\", \"I deserve this and more\", \"the rules do not apply to me\" -- generally speaking: too much of a good thing, blind optimism, excess, stretching the truth, overindulgence.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">21-25 degrees</span> of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Taurus, Leo or Aquarius</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this station phase. This is also true for those of us who have our</i><i> or Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter rules Sagittarius, so Sagittarius will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\nAlso on<strong> Sunday, </strong><em>Eclipse Season ends</em> that started on January 21st.

What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (February 21st):</strong> <em>t</em><em>he Moon remains in steady, peaceful</em><strong><em> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> </em>all day </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon,</strong> <i>a Venus/Neptune alignment in 13.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> </i>becomes exact at 1:42pm EST. <b>We started to feel this aspect on Monday night, it will be strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Friday night</span></b>. It asks us to dissolve anything that keeps us from opening our hearts more fully. This connection makes us dream of Soul connections with others.\r\n\r\nWe are highly romantic and may turn a blind eye to \"what is\", in pursuit of a fantasy that we want or need to have fulfilled. Beware of anything that sounds too good to be true -- whether that\'s in connection with people or money -- it might indeed be \"too good to be true\" ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">10-17 degrees</span> of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>?

As best as you can, allow your intuitive body to guide you. Commit to understanding your conditioning and thinking processes.\r\n\r\nIf we take this chance to see things more clearly and connect to ourselves more lovingly, we could get a good dose of reality, and an ability to focus on long-term issues. Remember: opportunities are openings; they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">5-9 degrees</span> of Capricorn, Scorpio, Pisces or Virgo? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (Feb. 22nd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <b><i>Taurus</i></b></em><strong><em> </em>until 7:07pm EST </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 6:46am EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 12.5 hours, <strong>until 7:07pm EST</strong>. Use this intuitive time to balance your desire for comfort and security with your desire for a deeper, emotional connections with yourself and others.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

If we set some intentions on Feb. 17th, 18th or 19th, we are now ready to make some adjustments. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. In fact, we may feel compelled to act, stirring up anxiety or overwhelm, so just go one breath at a time.\r\n\r\nRemember, we\'re still in Eclipse Season until Sunday, and thus don\'t have all the information we need to move brand-new projects forward yet. Allow for changes, remain flexible and adaptable, find creative solutions in day-to-day interactions with others. Allow for new downloads and for the release of “old” codes and conditioning. Simply put: an open mind and heart will serve us best (that\'s true in general, but especially true until Feb. 25th ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 2-7 degrees of</i><b><i> Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (February 24th): </strong><em>the </em><i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b></strong><strong><em> </em>until 10:06pm EST </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 2:58pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 10:06pm EST.</strong> Use this intuitive time to ... As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-) (Moon sextiles Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 10:06pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Monday late evening (Feb. 26th)</strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, otherwise you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday night, </strong><em> </em><i>Jupiter starts to slow down (station) as it reaches 23 degrees of </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Scorpio</strong><i>, preparing for its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. </i>Jupiter will come to a halt on March 8th;<i> </i>its <i>station-phase</i> last <b>until March 20th.</b> We will feel its energy more forcefully during the station-phase.\r\n\r\nWe start to be more fully aware of Jupiter\'s energy; this awareness helps us to get more connected to those energies within us. We get to see where we need to embrace them more fully, so that we can use them in a healthy way, without getting lost in the lower vibrations of their expression.\r\n\r\n<b>Until March 20th</b>, we have to face what this planet is trying to communicate to us: Jupiter represents our desire to seek insight through knowledge. Some of this planet\'s keywords include: morality; gratitude; hope; honor; the law. Jupiter is the planet of possibility, optimism and growth (including mental and spiritual growth). Jupiter is also associated with a sense of humor, goodwill, and mercy.\r\n\r\nThe lower expressions of Jupiter include \"Oh, the heck with it\", \"I deserve this and more\", \"the rules do not apply to me\" -- generally speaking: too much of a good thing, blind optimism, excess, stretching the truth, overindulgence.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">21-25 degrees</span> of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Taurus, Leo or Aquarius</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this station phase. This is also true for those of us who have our</i><i> or Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter rules Sagittarius, so Sagittarius will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (February 25th): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><em><i>protective, nurturing</i></em><strong><em><i> </i>Cancer </em>all day </strong>(see Saturday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Venus/Mars aspect </em>becomes exact at 7:01am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday night (Feb. 27th). </strong>This aspect asks that we stretch ourselves with regard to the feminine/masculine dynamic as it manifests both “inside” and “outside”: A shift needs to occur.\r\n\r\nThis can show up in several ways, either through romantic and sexual tensions that we might experience with others. We may tease each other, flirt with each other and/or play hard to get. Or we may find ourselves arguing in a very passionate way with the opposite sex. Competitiveness, anger, frustration, or angst might be present. Either way, this can be a very passionate time.\r\n\r\nBalancing and integrating masculine and feminine energies within ourselves would be very useful at this time.\r\n\r\nIf we experience these energies internally, there may be a desire for adventure -- or just for being still and \"adventuring\" into ourselves, our heart-space, our inner universe. The challenge might be that we feel pulled in two directions -- on the one hand, we want to feel \"one\" with others, and connect through love and kindness... While on the other hand, we want to be free and explore something new, outside of our familiar environment.\r\n\r\nWhat might it look like, if you made room for both of these energies?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in 15-22 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra or Aries</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars is the ruler of Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Neptune alignment in 13.5 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:26am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Monday night (Feb. 26th). </strong>This aspect could take our connection to our intuition even deeper, if we allow it.\r\n\r\nSpiritual and creative endeavors are highly recommended during this time -- especially those involving music or creative writing. This is definitely a highly imaginative time. As best as you can, go with the flow and -- just for now -- let go of wanting to figure it all out.\r\n\r\nThe highest vibration of this aspect is idealistic, highly intuitive and romantic; on a lower level vibration, we might not see reality clearly and we might easily feel overwhelmed. We might get confused or disappointed; things might seem a little foggy, especially when it comes to communication, processing information, public transportation or daily traffic.\r\n\r\nCheck in with others before signing any documents or making long-term decisions for those three days: get reality checks! As best as you can, let go and let flow ;-) On the other hand, trust the divine timing of things and have faith that everything will turn out exactly as it needs to.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of  </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Sun/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 12:46pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (Feb. 27th). </strong>This aspect provides an opportunity to become aware of what needs to happen if we are to accomplish something concrete.\r\n\r\nWe have common sense at our disposal; we are willing to look reality in the eye, and take responsibility for our lives and how we connect to it. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">This is an opportunity to be more aware of our heart connection to the divine and our intuitive selves, and how this can benefit our long-term goals and what we are focusing on in the here and now.</span> Again, remember: opportunities are openings, they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 5-9 degrees</i><b><i> </i></b><i>of </i><b><i>Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>?

If we set some intentions on Feb. 17th, 18th or 19th, we are now ready to make some adjustments. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. In fact, we may feel compelled to act, stirring up anxiety or overwhelm, so just go one breath at a time.\r\n\r\nRemember, we\'re still in Eclipse Season until Sunday, and thus don\'t have all the information we need to move brand-new projects forward yet. Allow for changes, remain flexible and adaptable, find creative solutions in day-to-day interactions with others. Allow for new downloads and for the release of “old” codes and conditioning. Simply put: an open mind and heart will serve us best (that\'s true in general, but especially true until Feb. 25th ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 2-7 degrees of</i><b><i> Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

You may also want to plan Saturday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon sextiles Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 10:06pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Monday late evening (Feb. 26th)</strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, otherwise you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday night, </strong><em> </em><i>Jupiter starts to slow down (station) as it reaches 23 degrees of </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Scorpio</strong><i>, preparing for its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. </i>Jupiter will come to a halt on March 8th;<i> </i>its <i>station-phase</i> last <b>until March 20th.</b> We will feel its energy more forcefully during the station-phase.\r\n\r\nWe start to be more fully aware of Jupiter\'s energy; this awareness helps us to get more connected to those energies within us. We get to see where we need to embrace them more fully, so that we can use them in a healthy way, without getting lost in the lower vibrations of their expression.\r\n\r\n<b>Until March 20th</b>, we have to face what this planet is trying to communicate to us: Jupiter represents our desire to seek insight through knowledge. Some of this planet\'s keywords include: morality; gratitude; hope; honor; the law. Jupiter is the planet of possibility, optimism and growth (including mental and spiritual growth). Jupiter is also associated with a sense of humor, goodwill, and mercy.\r\n\r\nThe lower expressions of Jupiter include \"Oh, the heck with it\", \"I deserve this and more\", \"the rules do not apply to me\" -- generally speaking: too much of a good thing, blind optimism, excess, stretching the truth, overindulgence.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">21-25 degrees</span> of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Taurus, Leo or Aquarius</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this station phase. This is also true for those of us who have our</i><i> or Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter rules Sagittarius, so Sagittarius will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (February 25th): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><em><i>protective, nurturing</i></em><strong><em><i> </i>Cancer </em>all day </strong>(see Saturday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Venus/Mars aspect </em>becomes exact at 7:01am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday night (Feb. 27th). </strong>This aspect asks that we stretch ourselves with regard to the feminine/masculine dynamic as it manifests both “inside” and “outside”: A shift needs to occur.\r\n\r\nThis can show up in several ways, either through romantic and sexual tensions that we might experience with others. We may tease each other, flirt with each other and/or play hard to get. Or we may find ourselves arguing in a very passionate way with the opposite sex. Competitiveness, anger, frustration, or angst might be present. Either way, this can be a very passionate time.\r\n\r\nBalancing and integrating masculine and feminine energies within ourselves would be very useful at this time.\r\n\r\nIf we experience these energies internally, there may be a desire for adventure -- or just for being still and \"adventuring\" into ourselves, our heart-space, our inner universe. The challenge might be that we feel pulled in two directions -- on the one hand, we want to feel \"one\" with others, and connect through love and kindness... While on the other hand, we want to be free and explore something new, outside of our familiar environment.\r\n\r\nWhat might it look like, if you made room for both of these energies?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in 15-22 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra or Aries</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars is the ruler of Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Neptune alignment in 13.5 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:26am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Monday night (Feb. 26th). </strong>This aspect could take our connection to our intuition even deeper, if we allow it.\r\n\r\nSpiritual and creative endeavors are highly recommended during this time -- especially those involving music or creative writing. This is definitely a highly imaginative time. As best as you can, go with the flow and -- just for now -- let go of wanting to figure it all out.\r\n\r\nThe highest vibration of this aspect is idealistic, highly intuitive and romantic; on a lower level vibration, we might not see reality clearly and we might easily feel overwhelmed. We might get confused or disappointed; things might seem a little foggy, especially when it comes to communication, processing information, public transportation or daily traffic.\r\n\r\nCheck in with others before signing any documents or making long-term decisions for those three days: get reality checks! As best as you can, let go and let flow ;-) On the other hand, trust the divine timing of things and have faith that everything will turn out exactly as it needs to.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of  </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>?

If we set some intentions on Feb. 17th, 18th or 19th, we are now ready to make some adjustments. This is a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum -- in fact, we may feel compelled to act, stirring up anxiety or overwhelm, so just go one breath at a time.\r\n\r\nRemember, we\'re still in Eclipse Season until Sunday, and thus don\'t have all the information we need to move brand-new projects forward yet. Allow for changes, remain flexible and adaptable, find creative solutions in day-to-day interactions with others. Allow for new downloads and for the release of “old” codes and conditioning. Simply put: an open mind and heart will serve us best (that\'s true in general, but especially true until Feb. 25th ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 2-7 degrees of</i><b><i> Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

You may also want to plan Saturday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon sextiles Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 10:06pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Monday late evening (Feb. 26th)</strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday night, </strong><em> </em><i>Jupiter starts to slow down (station) as it reaches 23 degrees of </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Scorpio</strong><i>, preparing for its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. </i>Jupiter will come to a halt on March 8th;<i> </i>its <i>station-phase</i> last <b>until March 20th.</b> We will feel its energy more forcefully during the station-phase.\r\n\r\nWe start to be more fully aware of Jupiter\'s energy; this awareness helps us to get more connected to those energies within us. We get to see where we need to embrace them more fully, so that we can use them in a healthy way, without getting lost in the lower vibrations of their expression.\r\n\r\n<b>Until March 20th</b>, we have to face what this planet is trying to communicate to us: Jupiter represents our desire to seek insight via the gaining of knowledge. Some of this planet\'s keywords: morality, gratitude, hope, honor, law. Jupiter is the planet of possibility, optimism, and growth (including mental and spiritual growth). Jupiter is also associated with a sense of humor, goodwill, and mercy.\r\n\r\nThe lower expressions of Jupiter include \"Oh, the heck with it\", \"I deserve this and more\", \"the rules do not apply to me\" -- generally speaking: too much of a good thing, blind optimism, excess, stretching the truth, overindulgence.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">21-25 degrees</span> of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Taurus, Leo or Aquarius</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this station phase. This is also true for those of us who have our</i><i> or Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter rules Sagittarius, so Sagittarius will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (February 25th): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><em><i>protective, nurturing</i></em><strong><em><i> </i>Cancer </em>all day </strong>(see Saturday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Venus/Mars aspect </em>becomes exact at 7:01am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday night (Feb. 27th). </strong>This aspect asks that we stretch ourselves with regard to the feminine/masculine dynamic as it manifests both “inside” and “outside”: A shift needs to occur.\r\n\r\nThis can show up in several ways, either through romantic and sexual tensions that we might experience with others. We may tease each other, flirt with each other and/or play hard to get. Or we may find ourselves arguing in a very passionate way with the opposite sex. Competitiveness, anger, frustration, or angst might be present. Either way, this can be a very passionate time.\r\n\r\nBalancing and integrating masculine and feminine energies within ourselves would be very useful at this time.\r\n\r\nIf we experience these energies internally, there may be a desire for adventure -- or just for being still and \"adventuring\" into ourselves, our heart-space, our inner universe. The challenge might be that we feel pulled in two directions -- on the one hand, we want to feel \"one\" with others and connect to them through love and kindness. On the other hand, we want to be free and explore something new, outside of our familiar environment.\r\n\r\nWhat might it look like, if you made room for both of these energies?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in 15-22 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra or Aries</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars is the ruler of Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Neptune alignment in 13.5 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:26am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Monday night (Feb. 26th). </strong>This aspect could take our connection to our intuition even deeper -- if we can allow it.\r\n\r\nSpiritual and creative endeavors are highly recommended during this time -- especially those involving music or creative writing. This is definitely a highly imaginative time. As best as you can, go with the flow and -- just for now -- let go of wanting to figure it all out.\r\n\r\nThe highest vibration of this aspect is idealistic, highly intuitive and romantic; on a lower level vibration, we might not see reality clearly and we might easily feel overwhelmed. We might get confused or disappointed; things might seem a little foggy, especially when it comes to communication, processing information, public transportation or daily traffic.\r\n\r\nCheck in with others before signing any documents or making long-term decisions for those three days: get reality checks! As best as you can, let go and let flow ;-) On the other hand, trust the divine timing of things and have faith that everything will turn out exactly as it needs to.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of  </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect.

This is an opportunity to be more aware of our heart connection to the divine and to our intuitive selves -- and how it can benefit us both in terms of long-term goals, and in what we are focused on in the here and now. Again, remember: opportunities are openings, they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 5-9 degrees</i><b><i> </i></b><i>of </i><b><i>Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>?

Make sure though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, otherwise you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday night, </strong><em> </em><i>Jupiter starts to slow down (station) as it reaches 23 degrees of </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Scorpio</strong><i>, preparing for its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. </i>Jupiter will come to a halt on March 8th;<i> </i>its <i>station-phase</i> last <b>until March 20th.</b> We will feel its energy more forcefully during the station-phase.\r\n\r\nWe start to be more fully aware of Jupiter\'s energy; this awareness helps us to get more connected to those energies within us. We get to see where we need to embrace them more fully, so that we can use them in a healthy way, without getting lost in the lower vibrations of their expression.\r\n\r\n<b>Until March 20th</b>, we have to face what this planet is trying to communicate to us: Jupiter represents our desire to seek insight through knowledge. Some of this planet\'s keywords include: morality; gratitude; hope; honor; the law. Jupiter is the planet of possibility, optimism and growth (including mental and spiritual growth). Jupiter is also associated with a sense of humor, goodwill, and mercy.\r\n\r\nThe lower expressions of Jupiter include \"Oh, the heck with it\", \"I deserve this and more\", \"the rules do not apply to me\" -- generally speaking: too much of a good thing, blind optimism, excess, stretching the truth, overindulgence.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">21-25 degrees</span> of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Taurus, Leo or Aquarius</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this station phase.

We may tease each other, flirt with each other and/or play hard to get. Or we may find ourselves arguing in a very passionate way with the opposite sex. Competitiveness, anger, frustration, or angst might be present. Either way, this can be a very passionate time.\r\n\r\nBalancing and integrating masculine and feminine energies within ourselves would be very useful at this time.\r\n\r\nIf we experience these energies internally, there may be a desire for adventure -- or just for being still and \"adventuring\" into ourselves, our heart-space, our inner universe. The challenge might be that we feel pulled in two directions -- on the one hand, we want to feel \"one\" with others, and connect through love and kindness... While on the other hand, we want to be free and explore something new, outside of our familiar environment.\r\n\r\nWhat might it look like, if you made room for both of these energies?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in 15-22 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>?

This is definitely a highly imaginative time. As best as you can, go with the flow and -- just for now -- let go of wanting to figure it all out.\r\n\r\nThe highest vibration of this aspect is idealistic, highly intuitive and romantic; on a lower level vibration, we might not see reality clearly and we might easily feel overwhelmed. We might get confused or disappointed; things might seem a little foggy, especially when it comes to communication, processing information, public transportation or daily traffic.\r\n\r\nCheck in with others before signing any documents or making long-term decisions for those three days: get reality checks!

On the one hand, I heard \"relax, enjoy, be with what is\" -- this felt very much connected to Venus in Pisces.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, I was quite aware of my past-based patterns, and I practiced being kind to myself and asking questions, rather than dwell on the patterns themselves -- this felt connected to Jupiter in Scorpio. Of course, the Eclipse on Thursday threw me for a loop -- it took place in my 4th House. This is the area of home and family... And there were definitely some unexpected things going on there that had to be addressed.

Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday</strong><strong> </strong><b>morning</b> starts out harmoniously and with an urge to explore something new that helps us understand the bigger picture all around.<!--more-->\r\n\r\nLater (<b>in the evening</b>), we are invited to make adjustments and find creative solutions around personal desires and needs, versus our deep passion and focus on long-term goals. As best as you can, allow yourself to make space for both; flexibility and adaptability are key if we mean to move forward with our plans and projects...\r\n\r\nLast but not least, also on Monday until 4pm EST,\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (February 20th): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><i>pioneering, fast-paced </i><strong><b><i>Aries</i></b></strong><strong><em> </em>until 2:12pm EST </strong>(see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:11am EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for 8 hours, <strong>until 2:12pm EST. </strong>Use this intuitive time to connect to people that can enthusiastically support your projects and share with them what you have going on.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday morning until early afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 2:12pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves</i><b> </b><i>into steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Thursday evening.</strong> We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.\r\n\r\nIn other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (February 21st):</strong> <em>t</em><em>he Moon remains in steady, peaceful</em><strong><em> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> </em>all day </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon,</strong> <i>a Venus/Neptune alignment in 13.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> </i>becomes exact at 1:42pm EST. <b>We started to feel this aspect on Monday night, it will be strong until Friday night</b>. It asks us to dissolve anything that keeps us from opening our hearts more fully. This connection makes us dream of Soul connections with others.\r\n\r\nWe are highly romantic and may turn a blind eye to \"what is\", in pursuit of a fantasy that we want or need to have fulfilled. Beware of anything that sounds too good to be true -- whether that\'s in connection with people or money -- it might indeed be \"too good to be true\" ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus or Libra</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Mercury/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 3:23pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning on; it will remain strong until this Thursday. </strong>This is an opportunity to take responsibility for our thinking structures and be really honest with ourselves.\r\n\r\nHow can we get the most from this opportunity? As best as you can, allow your intuitive body to guide you. Commit to understanding your conditioning and thinking processes.\r\n\r\nIf we take this chance to see things more clearly and connect to ourselves more lovingly, we could get a good dose of reality, and an ability to focus on long-term issues. Remember: opportunities are openings; they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 5-9 degrees of Capricorn, Scorpio, Pisces or Virgo? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (Feb. 22nd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <b><i>Taurus</i></b></em><strong><em> </em>until 7:07pm EST </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 6:46am EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 12.5 hours, <strong>until 7:07pm EST</strong>. Use this intuitive time to balance your desire for comfort and security with your desire for deeper emotional connections with yourself and others.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday Day ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 7:07pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <strong>until Saturday late evening</strong><b>.</b> For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way...\r\n\r\nThe one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-) This Moon placement starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Friday very early morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (Feb. 23rd):</strong> <em>the </em><i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b></strong>(see Thursday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday very early morning, at 3:09am EST, </strong><i>the first Quarter Moon in 4.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> </i>becomes exact (<b>we <strong>started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered <em>Gemini</em> on Thursday evening</strong>). </b>The Moon in chatty, versatile <b>Gemini</b> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in sensitive, compassionate <b>Pisces.</b>\r\n\r\nLast week (Feb. 15th) saw a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse. If we set some intentions on Feb. 17th, 18th or 19th, we are now ready to make some adjustments. This is a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum -- in fact, we may feel compelled to act, stirring up anxiety or overwhelm, so just go one breath at a time.\r\n\r\nRemember, we\'re still in Eclipse Season until Sunday, and thus don\'t have all the information we need to move brand-new projects forward yet. Allow for changes, remain flexible and adaptable, find creative solutions in day-to-day interactions with others. Allow for new downloads and for the release of “old” codes and conditioning. Simply put: an open mind and heart will serve us best (that\'s true in general, but especially true until Feb. 25th ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 2-7 degrees of</i><b><i> Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

Why? <a href=\"https://goo.gl/aEhibk\">Click here</a> to read more about it\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: the first Quarter Moon in Gemini becomes exact on Friday; Eclipse season ends on Sunday, and among other things, that means you can start to take actions on your Solar Eclipse intentions that day -- and Jupiter begins its Station-phase on Sunday as well.\r\n\r\nThere will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Tuesday morning (for 8 hours), Thursday morning (for almost 12.5 hours), and Saturday afternoon (for a little over 7 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (February 19th): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><i>pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries </i><strong>all day.</strong></b> It will remain there <b>until Tuesday afternoon</b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday</strong><strong> </strong><b>morning</b> starts out harmoniously and with an urge to explore something new that helps us understand the bigger picture all around.<!--more-->\r\n\r\nLater (<b>in the evening</b>), we are invited to make adjustments and find creative solutions around personal desires and needs, versus our deep passion and focus on long-term goals. As best as you can, allow yourself to make space for both; flexibility and adaptability are key if we mean to move forward with our plans and projects...\r\n\r\nLast but not least, also on <strong>Monday until 4pm EST, </strong>it is still the best time to set<i> our powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse Intentions</i>. Doing so during a Solar Eclipse is a little different from the regular monthly New Moon process: we are setting those intentions for the whole 6-month Eclipse cycle, rather than just for the next 28 days.\r\n<b></b>\r\n\r\nMake them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the <b>Aquarian</b> energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nThis Solar Eclipse reminds us that to be fully alive requires us to constantly stretch, grow, and change. So, while writing your intentions, ask yourself: What would it take for me to release old patterns from the past? How might that free me to create a more powerful vision for the future?\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (February 20th): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><i>pioneering, fast-paced </i><strong><b><i>Aries</i></b></strong><strong><em> </em>until 2:12pm EST </strong>(see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:11am EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for 8 hours, <strong>until 2:12pm EST. </strong>Use this intuitive time to connect to people that can enthusiastically support your projects and share with them what you have going on.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday morning until early afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 2:12pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves</i><b> </b><i>into steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Thursday evening.</strong> We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.\r\n\r\nIn other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (February 21st):</strong> <em>t</em><em>he Moon remains in steady, peaceful</em><strong><em> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> </em>all day </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon,</strong> <i>a Venus/Neptune alignment in 13.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> </i>becomes exact at 1:42pm EST. <b>We started to feel this aspect on Monday night, it will be strong until Friday night</b>. It asks us to dissolve anything that keeps us from opening our hearts more fully. This connection makes us dream of Soul connections with others.\r\n\r\nWe are highly romantic and may turn a blind eye to \"what is\", in pursuit of a fantasy that we want or need to have fulfilled. Beware of anything that sounds too good to be true -- whether that\'s in connection with people or money -- it might indeed be \"too good to be true\" ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus or Libra</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Mercury/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 3:23pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning on; it will remain strong until this Thursday. </strong>This is an opportunity to take responsibility for our thinking structures and be really honest with ourselves.\r\n\r\nHow can we get the most from this opportunity? As best as you can, allow your intuitive body to guide you. Commit to understanding your conditioning and thinking processes.\r\n\r\nIf we take this chance to see things more clearly and connect to ourselves more lovingly, we could get a good dose of reality, and an ability to focus on long-term issues. Remember: opportunities are openings; they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 5-9 degrees of Capricorn, Scorpio, Pisces or Virgo? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (Feb. 22nd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <b><i>Taurus</i></b></em><strong><em> </em>until 7:07pm EST </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 6:46am EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 12.5 hours, <strong>until 7:07pm EST</strong>. Use this intuitive time to balance your desire for comfort and security with your desire for deeper emotional connections with yourself and others.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday Day ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 7:07pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <strong>until Saturday late evening</strong><b>.</b> For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way...\r\n\r\nThe one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-) This Moon placement starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Friday very early morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (Feb. 23rd):</strong> <em>the </em><i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b></strong>(see Thursday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday very early morning, at 3:09am EST, </strong><i>the first Quarter Moon in 4.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> </i>becomes exact (<b>we <strong>started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered <em>Gemini</em> on Thursday evening</strong>). </b>The Moon in chatty, versatile <b>Gemini</b> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in sensitive, compassionate <b>Pisces.</b>\r\n\r\nLast week (Feb. 15th) saw a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse. If we set some intentions on Feb. 17th, 18th or 19th, we are now ready to make some adjustments. This is a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum -- in fact, we may feel compelled to act, stirring up anxiety or overwhelm, so just go one breath at a time.\r\n\r\nRemember, we\'re still in Eclipse Season until Sunday, and thus don\'t have all the information we need to move brand-new projects forward yet. Allow for changes, remain flexible and adaptable, find creative solutions in day-to-day interactions with others. Allow for new downloads and for the release of “old” codes and conditioning. Simply put: an open mind and heart will serve us best (that\'s true in general, but especially true until Feb. 25th ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 2-7 degrees of</i><b><i> Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (February 24th): </strong><em>the </em><i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b></strong><strong><em> </em>until 10:06pm EST </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 2:58pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 10:06pm EST. </strong>Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 10:06pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Monday late evening (Feb. 26th)</strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday night, </strong><em> </em><i>Jupiter starts to slow down (station) as it reaches 23 degrees of </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Scorpio</strong><i>, preparing for its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. </i>Jupiter will come to a halt on March 8th;<i> </i>its <i>station-phase</i> last <b>until March 20th.</b> We will feel its energy more forcefully during the station-phase.\r\n\r\nWe start to be more fully aware of Jupiter\'s energy; this awareness helps us to get more connected to those energies within us. We get to see where we need to embrace them more fully, so that we can use them in a healthy way, without getting lost in the lower vibrations of their expression.\r\n\r\n<b>Until March 20th</b>, we have to face what this planet is trying to communicate to us: Jupiter represents our desire to seek insight via the gaining of knowledge. Some of this planet\'s keywords: morality, gratitude, hope, honor, law. Jupiter is the planet of possibility, optimism, and growth (including mental and spiritual growth). Jupiter is also associated with a sense of humor, goodwill, and mercy.\r\n\r\nThe lower expressions of Jupiter include \"Oh, the heck with it\", \"I deserve this and more\", \"the rules do not apply to me\" -- generally speaking: too much of a good thing, blind optimism, excess, stretching the truth, overindulgence.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> 21-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Taurus, Leo or Aquarius</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this station phase. This is also true for those of us who have our</i><i> or Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter rules Sagittarius, so Sagittarius will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (February 25th): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><em><i>protective, nurturing</i></em><strong><em><i> </i>Cancer </em>all day </strong>(see Saturday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Venus/Mars aspect </em>becomes exact at 7:01am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday night (Feb. 27th). </strong>This aspect asks that we stretch ourselves with regard to the feminine/masculine dynamic as it manifests both “inside” and “outside”: A shift needs to occur.\r\n\r\nThis can show up in several ways, either through romantic and sexual tensions that we might experience with others. We may tease each other, flirt with each other and/or play hard to get. Or we may find ourselves arguing in a very passionate way with the opposite sex. Competitiveness, anger, frustration, or angst might be present. Either way, this can be a very passionate time.\r\n\r\nBalancing and integrating masculine and feminine energies within ourselves would be very useful at this time.\r\n\r\nIf we experience these energies internally, there may be a desire for adventure -- or just for being still and \"adventuring\" into ourselves, our heart-space, our inner universe. The challenge might be that we feel pulled in two directions -- on the one hand, we want to feel \"one\" with others and connect to them through love and kindness. On the other hand, we want to be free and explore something new, outside of our familiar environment.\r\n\r\nWhat might it look like, if you made room for both of these energies?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in 15-22 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra or Aries</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars is the ruler of Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Neptune alignment in 13.5 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:26am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Monday night (Feb. 26th). </strong>This aspect could take our connection to our intuition even deeper -- if we can allow it.\r\n\r\nSpiritual and creative endeavors are highly recommended during this time -- especially those involving music or creative writing. This is definitely a highly imaginative time. As best as you can, go with the flow and -- just for now -- let go of wanting to figure it all out.\r\n\r\nThe highest vibration of this aspect is idealistic, highly intuitive and romantic; on a lower level vibration, we might not see reality clearly and we might easily feel overwhelmed. We might get confused or disappointed; things might seem a little foggy, especially when it comes to communication, processing information, public transportation or daily traffic.\r\n\r\nCheck in with others before signing any documents or making long-term decisions for those three days: get reality checks! As best as you can, let go and let flow ;-) On the other hand, trust the divine timing of things and have faith that everything will turn out exactly as it needs to.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of  </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Sun/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 12:46pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (Feb. 27th). </strong>This aspect provides an opportunity to become aware of what needs to happen if we are to accomplish something concrete.\r\n\r\nWe have common sense at our disposal; we are willing to look reality in the eye and take responsibility for our life and how we live it. This is an opportunity to be more aware of our heart connection to the divine and to our intuitive selves -- and how it can benefit us both in terms of long-term goals, and in what we are focused on in the here and now. Again, remember: opportunities are openings, they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 5-9 degrees</i><b><i> </i></b><i>of </i><b><i>Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>?

As best as you can, allow your intuitive body to guide you. Commit to understanding your conditioning and thinking processes.\r\n\r\nIf we take this chance to see things more clearly and connect to ourselves more lovingly, we could get a good dose of reality, and an ability to focus on long-term issues. Remember: opportunities are openings; they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 5-9 degrees of Capricorn, Scorpio, Pisces or Virgo? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (Feb. 22nd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <b><i>Taurus</i></b></em><strong><em> </em>until 7:07pm EST </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 6:46am EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 12.5 hours, <strong>until 7:07pm EST</strong>. Use this intuitive time to balance your desire for comfort and security with your desire for deeper emotional connections with yourself and others.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday Day ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 7:07pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <strong>until Saturday late evening</strong><b>.</b> For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way...\r\n\r\nThe one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-) This Moon placement starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Friday very early morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (Feb. 23rd):</strong> <em>the </em><i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b></strong>(see Thursday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday very early morning, at 3:09am EST, </strong><i>the first Quarter Moon in 4.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> </i>becomes exact (<b>we <strong>started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered <em>Gemini</em> on Thursday evening</strong>). </b>The Moon in chatty, versatile <b>Gemini</b> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in sensitive, compassionate <b>Pisces.</b>\r\n\r\nLast week (Feb. 15th) saw a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse. If we set some intentions on Feb. 17th, 18th or 19th, we are now ready to make some adjustments. This is a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum -- in fact, we may feel compelled to act, stirring up anxiety or overwhelm, so just go one breath at a time.\r\n\r\nRemember, we\'re still in Eclipse Season until Sunday, and thus don\'t have all the information we need to move brand-new projects forward yet. Allow for changes, remain flexible and adaptable, find creative solutions in day-to-day interactions with others. Allow for new downloads and for the release of “old” codes and conditioning. Simply put: an open mind and heart will serve us best (that\'s true in general, but especially true until Feb. 25th ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 2-7 degrees of</i><b><i> Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (February 24th): </strong><em>the </em><i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b></strong><strong><em> </em>until 10:06pm EST </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 2:58pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 10:06pm EST. </strong>Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 10:06pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Monday late evening (Feb. 26th)</strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday night, </strong><em> </em><i>Jupiter starts to slow down (station) as it reaches 23 degrees of </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Scorpio</strong><i>, preparing for its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. </i>Jupiter will come to a halt on March 8th;<i> </i>its <i>station-phase</i> last <b>until March 20th.</b> We will feel its energy more forcefully during the station-phase.\r\n\r\nWe start to be more fully aware of Jupiter\'s energy; this awareness helps us to get more connected to those energies within us. We get to see where we need to embrace them more fully, so that we can use them in a healthy way, without getting lost in the lower vibrations of their expression.\r\n\r\n<b>Until March 20th</b>, we have to face what this planet is trying to communicate to us: Jupiter represents our desire to seek insight via the gaining of knowledge. Some of this planet\'s keywords: morality, gratitude, hope, honor, law. Jupiter is the planet of possibility, optimism, and growth (including mental and spiritual growth). Jupiter is also associated with a sense of humor, goodwill, and mercy.\r\n\r\nThe lower expressions of Jupiter include \"Oh, the heck with it\", \"I deserve this and more\", \"the rules do not apply to me\" -- generally speaking: too much of a good thing, blind optimism, excess, stretching the truth, overindulgence.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> 21-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Taurus, Leo or Aquarius</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this station phase. This is also true for those of us who have our</i><i> or Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter rules Sagittarius, so Sagittarius will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (February 25th): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><em><i>protective, nurturing</i></em><strong><em><i> </i>Cancer </em>all day </strong>(see Saturday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Venus/Mars aspect </em>becomes exact at 7:01am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday night (Feb. 27th). </strong>This aspect asks that we stretch ourselves with regard to the feminine/masculine dynamic as it manifests both “inside” and “outside”: A shift needs to occur.\r\n\r\nThis can show up in several ways, either through romantic and sexual tensions that we might experience with others. We may tease each other, flirt with each other and/or play hard to get. Or we may find ourselves arguing in a very passionate way with the opposite sex. Competitiveness, anger, frustration, or angst might be present. Either way, this can be a very passionate time.\r\n\r\nBalancing and integrating masculine and feminine energies within ourselves would be very useful at this time.\r\n\r\nIf we experience these energies internally, there may be a desire for adventure -- or just for being still and \"adventuring\" into ourselves, our heart-space, our inner universe. The challenge might be that we feel pulled in two directions -- on the one hand, we want to feel \"one\" with others and connect to them through love and kindness. On the other hand, we want to be free and explore something new, outside of our familiar environment.\r\n\r\nWhat might it look like, if you made room for both of these energies?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in 15-22 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra or Aries</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars is the ruler of Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Neptune alignment in 13.5 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:26am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Monday night (Feb. 26th). </strong>This aspect could take our connection to our intuition even deeper -- if we can allow it.\r\n\r\nSpiritual and creative endeavors are highly recommended during this time -- especially those involving music or creative writing. This is definitely a highly imaginative time. As best as you can, go with the flow and -- just for now -- let go of wanting to figure it all out.\r\n\r\nThe highest vibration of this aspect is idealistic, highly intuitive and romantic; on a lower level vibration, we might not see reality clearly and we might easily feel overwhelmed. We might get confused or disappointed; things might seem a little foggy, especially when it comes to communication, processing information, public transportation or daily traffic.\r\n\r\nCheck in with others before signing any documents or making long-term decisions for those three days: get reality checks! As best as you can, let go and let flow ;-) On the other hand, trust the divine timing of things and have faith that everything will turn out exactly as it needs to.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of  </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Sun/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 12:46pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (Feb. 27th). </strong>This aspect provides an opportunity to become aware of what needs to happen if we are to accomplish something concrete.\r\n\r\nWe have common sense at our disposal; we are willing to look reality in the eye and take responsibility for our life and how we live it. This is an opportunity to be more aware of our heart connection to the divine and to our intuitive selves -- and how it can benefit us both in terms of long-term goals, and in what we are focused on in the here and now. Again, remember: opportunities are openings, they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 5-9 degrees</i><b><i> </i></b><i>of </i><b><i>Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.

If we set some intentions on Feb. 17th, 18th or 19th, we are now ready to make some adjustments. This is a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum -- in fact, we may feel compelled to act, stirring up anxiety or overwhelm, so just go one breath at a time.\r\n\r\nRemember, we\'re still in Eclipse Season until Sunday, and thus don\'t have all the information we need to move brand-new projects forward yet. Allow for changes, remain flexible and adaptable, find creative solutions in day-to-day interactions with others. Allow for new downloads and for the release of “old” codes and conditioning. Simply put: an open mind and heart will serve us best (that\'s true in general, but especially true until Feb. 25th ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 2-7 degrees of</i><b><i> Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

You may also want to plan Saturday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 10:06pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Monday late evening (Feb. 26th)</strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday night, </strong><em> </em><i>Jupiter starts to slow down (station) as it reaches 23 degrees of </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Scorpio</strong><i>, preparing for its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. </i>Jupiter will come to a halt on March 8th;<i> </i>its <i>station-phase</i> last <b>until March 20th.</b> We will feel its energy more forcefully during the station-phase.\r\n\r\nWe start to be more fully aware of Jupiter\'s energy; this awareness helps us to get more connected to those energies within us. We get to see where we need to embrace them more fully, so that we can use them in a healthy way, without getting lost in the lower vibrations of their expression.\r\n\r\n<b>Until March 20th</b>, we have to face what this planet is trying to communicate to us: Jupiter represents our desire to seek insight via the gaining of knowledge. Some of this planet\'s keywords: morality, gratitude, hope, honor, law. Jupiter is the planet of possibility, optimism, and growth (including mental and spiritual growth). Jupiter is also associated with a sense of humor, goodwill, and mercy.\r\n\r\nThe lower expressions of Jupiter include \"Oh, the heck with it\", \"I deserve this and more\", \"the rules do not apply to me\" -- generally speaking: too much of a good thing, blind optimism, excess, stretching the truth, overindulgence.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> 21-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Taurus, Leo or Aquarius</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this station phase. This is also true for those of us who have our</i><i> or Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter rules Sagittarius, so Sagittarius will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (February 25th): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><em><i>protective, nurturing</i></em><strong><em><i> </i>Cancer </em>all day </strong>(see Saturday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Venus/Mars aspect </em>becomes exact at 7:01am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday night (Feb. 27th). </strong>This aspect asks that we stretch ourselves with regard to the feminine/masculine dynamic as it manifests both “inside” and “outside”: A shift needs to occur.\r\n\r\nThis can show up in several ways, either through romantic and sexual tensions that we might experience with others. We may tease each other, flirt with each other and/or play hard to get. Or we may find ourselves arguing in a very passionate way with the opposite sex. Competitiveness, anger, frustration, or angst might be present. Either way, this can be a very passionate time.\r\n\r\nBalancing and integrating masculine and feminine energies within ourselves would be very useful at this time.\r\n\r\nIf we experience these energies internally, there may be a desire for adventure -- or just for being still and \"adventuring\" into ourselves, our heart-space, our inner universe. The challenge might be that we feel pulled in two directions -- on the one hand, we want to feel \"one\" with others and connect to them through love and kindness. On the other hand, we want to be free and explore something new, outside of our familiar environment.\r\n\r\nWhat might it look like, if you made room for both of these energies?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in 15-22 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra or Aries</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars is the ruler of Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Neptune alignment in 13.5 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:26am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Monday night (Feb. 26th). </strong>This aspect could take our connection to our intuition even deeper -- if we can allow it.\r\n\r\nSpiritual and creative endeavors are highly recommended during this time -- especially those involving music or creative writing. This is definitely a highly imaginative time. As best as you can, go with the flow and -- just for now -- let go of wanting to figure it all out.\r\n\r\nThe highest vibration of this aspect is idealistic, highly intuitive and romantic; on a lower level vibration, we might not see reality clearly and we might easily feel overwhelmed. We might get confused or disappointed; things might seem a little foggy, especially when it comes to communication, processing information, public transportation or daily traffic.\r\n\r\nCheck in with others before signing any documents or making long-term decisions for those three days: get reality checks! As best as you can, let go and let flow ;-) On the other hand, trust the divine timing of things and have faith that everything will turn out exactly as it needs to.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of  </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Sun/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 12:46pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (Feb. 27th). </strong>This aspect provides an opportunity to become aware of what needs to happen if we are to accomplish something concrete.\r\n\r\nWe have common sense at our disposal; we are willing to look reality in the eye and take responsibility for our life and how we live it. This is an opportunity to be more aware of our heart connection to the divine and to our intuitive selves -- and how it can benefit us both in terms of long-term goals, and in what we are focused on in the here and now. Again, remember: opportunities are openings, they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 5-9 degrees</i><b><i> </i></b><i>of </i><b><i>Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>?

On the one hand, I heard \"relax, enjoy, be with what is\" -- this felt very much connected to Venus in Pisces.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, I was quite aware of my past-based patterns, and I practiced being kind to myself and asking questions, rather than dwell on the patterns themselves -- this felt connected to Jupiter in Scorpio. Of course, the Eclipse on Thursday threw me for a loop -- it took place in my 4th House. This is the area of home and family... And there were definitely some unexpected things going on there that had to be addressed. How are <em>you</em> moving with these energies?\r\n\r\n<b>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement: </b>\r\nI\'m still offering a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\"><b>super-dooper special launch discount</b></a> on site membership.

Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday</strong><strong> </strong><b>morning</b> starts out harmoniously and with an urge to explore something new that helps us understand the bigger picture all around.<!--more-->\r\n\r\nLater (<b>in the evening</b>), we are invited to make adjustments and find creative solutions around personal desires and needs, versus our deep passion and focus on long-term goals. As best as you can, allow yourself to make space for both; flexibility and adaptability are key if we mean to move forward with our plans and projects...\r\n\r\nLast but not least, also on <strong>Monday until 4pm EST, </strong>it is still the best time to set<i> our powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse Intentions</i>. Doing so during a Solar Eclipse is a little different from the regular monthly New Moon process: we are setting those intentions for the whole 6-month Eclipse cycle, rather than just for the next 28 days.\r\n<b></b>\r\n\r\nMake them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the <b>Aquarian</b> energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nThis Solar Eclipse reminds us that to be fully alive requires us to constantly stretch, grow, and change. So, while writing your intentions, ask yourself: What would it take for me to release old patterns from the past? How might that free me to create a more powerful vision for the future?\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (February 20th): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><i>pioneering, fast-paced </i><strong><b><i>Aries</i></b></strong><strong><em> </em>until 2:12pm EST </strong>(see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:11am EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for 8 hours, <strong>until 2:12pm EST. </strong>Use this intuitive time to connect to people that can enthusiastically support your projects and share with them what you have going on.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday night, </strong><em> </em><i>Jupiter starts to slow down (station) as it reaches 23 degrees of </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Scorpio</strong><i>, preparing for its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. </i>Jupiter will come to a halt on March 8th;<i> </i>its <i>station-phase</i> last <b>until March 20th.</b> We will feel its energy more forcefully during the station-phase.\r\n\r\nWe start to be more fully aware of Jupiter\'s energy; this awareness helps us to get more connected to those energies within us. We get to see where we need to embrace them more fully, so that we can use them in a healthy way, without getting lost in the lower vibrations of their expression.\r\n\r\n<b>Until March 20th</b>, we have to face what this planet is trying to communicate to us: Jupiter represents our desire to seek insight via the gaining of knowledge. Some of this planet\'s keywords: morality, gratitude, hope, honor, law. Jupiter is the planet of possibility, optimism, and growth (including mental and spiritual growth). Jupiter is also associated with a sense of humor, goodwill, and mercy.\r\n\r\nThe lower expressions of Jupiter include \"Oh, the heck with it\", \"I deserve this and more\", \"the rules do not apply to me\" -- generally speaking: too much of a good thing, blind optimism, excess, stretching the truth, overindulgence.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> 21-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Taurus, Leo or Aquarius</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this station phase. This is also true for those of us who have our</i><i> or Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter rules Sagittarius, so Sagittarius will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (February 25th): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><em><i>protective, nurturing</i></em><strong><em><i> </i>Cancer </em>all day </strong>(see Saturday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Venus/Mars aspect </em>becomes exact at 7:01am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday night (Feb. 27th). </strong>This aspect asks that we stretch ourselves with regard to the feminine/masculine dynamic as it manifests both “inside” and “outside”: A shift needs to occur.\r\n\r\nThis can show up in several ways, either through romantic and sexual tensions that we might experience with others. We may tease each other, flirt with each other and/or play hard to get. Or we may find ourselves arguing in a very passionate way with the opposite sex. Competitiveness, anger, frustration, or angst might be present. Either way, this can be a very passionate time.\r\n\r\nBalancing and integrating masculine and feminine energies within ourselves would be very useful at this time.\r\n\r\nIf we experience these energies internally, there may be a desire for adventure -- or just for being still and \"adventuring\" into ourselves, our heart-space, our inner universe. The challenge might be that we feel pulled in two directions -- on the one hand, we want to feel \"one\" with others and connect to them through love and kindness. On the other hand, we want to be free and explore something new, outside of our familiar environment.\r\n\r\nWhat might it look like, if you made room for both of these energies?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in 15-22 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra or Aries</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars is the ruler of Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Neptune alignment in 13.5 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:26am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Monday night (Feb. 26th). </strong>This aspect could take our connection to our intuition even deeper -- if we can allow it.\r\n\r\nSpiritual and creative endeavors are highly recommended during this time -- especially those involving music or creative writing. This is definitely a highly imaginative time. As best as you can, go with the flow and -- just for now -- let go of wanting to figure it all out.\r\n\r\nThe highest vibration of this aspect is idealistic, highly intuitive and romantic; on a lower level vibration, we might not see reality clearly and we might easily feel overwhelmed. We might get confused or disappointed; things might seem a little foggy, especially when it comes to communication, processing information, public transportation or daily traffic.\r\n\r\nCheck in with others before signing any documents or making long-term decisions for those three days: get reality checks! As best as you can, let go and let flow ;-) On the other hand, trust the divine timing of things and have faith that everything will turn out exactly as it needs to.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of  </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Sun/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 12:46pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (Feb. 27th). </strong>This aspect provides an opportunity to become aware of what needs to happen if we are to accomplish something concrete.\r\n\r\nWe have common sense at our disposal; we are willing to look reality in the eye and take responsibility for our life and how we live it. This is an opportunity to be more aware of our heart connection to the divine and to our intuitive selves -- and how it can benefit us both in terms of long-term goals, and in what we are focused on in the here and now. Again, remember: opportunities are openings, they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 5-9 degrees</i><b><i> </i></b><i>of </i><b><i>Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)</i><i></i>\r\n\r\nAlso on<strong> Sunday, </strong><em>Eclipse Season ends</em> that started on January 21st.

It felt like quite a \"Chiron-ish\" week, if there is such a thing ;-) Another Chiron-related theme for the week was my bringing greater awareness to my emotional triggers and how I deal with them. I\'m happy to say that I got lots of amazing support with all of this -- thank you, to all the angels in my life :-)\r\n<h3>Before we get to this week\'s forecast:</h3>\r\nI would like to share with you some important announcements for 2018. The first announcement is about my new Astrology Online Community that I am in the process of creating, the second announcement it about the Forecasting Forum in January 2018: a look ahead at the whole Year! <a href=\"https://youtu.be/AAUG4EKXSzc\">Click here to watch a brief video for more details</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>This week\'s headline items:</strong> the New Moon in Sagittarius becomes exact on Monday, very early in the morning -- and the Chiron Station ends that day as well. Mercury begins its station-phase on Tuesday, and comes to a halt on Friday evening -- ending its 3-week retrograde phase. Saturn changes signs from Sagittarius to Capricorn, Tuesday late evening and Uranus begins its station-phase on Wednesday -- slowing down and preparing to change direction. The Sun changes signs from Sagittarius to Capricorn on Thursday, late in the morning, marking the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere.\r\n\r\n<strong>There will only be four <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week:</strong> Monday morning (for 23 minutes), Wednesday late morning (for a little over 10.5 hours), Saturday early morning (for almost 4.5 hours), and Sunday late evening (for a little over 21.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (December 18th):</strong> the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius until 8:33am EST.\r\n\r\nSunday night/Monday very early morning, at 1:30am EST, the New Moon in 26.5 degrees of Sagittarius becomes exact. With the New Moon in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius, we seek to expand our day-to-day knowledge and look for the larger truth. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/new-moon-in-sagittarius-dec-2017-perception-and-perspective/\">Also feel free to watch my New Moon video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What might I see if I zoomed out for the wider view? Does my life as it is now reflect my philosophy -- and vice versa?\r\n\r\nThe New Moon closely aligns with Saturn and Venus in Sagittarius, and Mercury is still retrograde in Sagittarius as well. This spurs us to question our assumptions. Ask yourself: What fundamental assumptions do I make about others? About life itself? Love? My relationships? What does my direct experience show me?\r\n\r\nTake a look at your conditioning and programming too: What messages did I receive from my parents, teachers, religion, and culture? How does my actual experience differ from what I was taught? Where do I still follow old programming, rather than listening to the wisdom of my heart and soul?\r\n\r\nSaturn is in its last degree of Sagittarius and is therefore exalted at the time of the New Moon; it will move into Capricorn until 2020, a little less than two days after this New Moon becomes exact!\r\n\r\nThis heightens the universal request for us to take responsibility for our own perceptions and attitudes towards life -- to take a good look at our horizons and think again -- but this time, with maturity and realism. It directs us to discard outdated beliefs and determine our own indicators for progress, truth, and fulfillment.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What do I see from where I stand? What is my understanding about life? How has my perception of myself and my life changed in the last three years?\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how Saturn\'s journey in Capricorn will impact you personally in the next three years, feel free <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/my-courses/\">to purchase my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, click here</a> or for a quick preview <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/5067/\">check out this 30-minute excerpt</a> of the webinar\r\n\r\nThe Sun and Moon in Sagittarius also trine Uranus in Aries and square Chiron in Pisces.\r\n\r\nThe Trine to Uranus connects excitement to our vision for the future and our willingness to try something new and break away from \"old\" outdated ways of doing things. You could ask yourself: What if I took 5% more responsibility for my own reality? It ways could this be the key to creating a better future?\r\n\r\nThe Square to Chiron, aka the \"Wounded Healer\", is asking us to take a closer look at any old wounds and memories of shame or separation. If we get triggered, we can look to see where in the past the trigger originated; then, as best as we can, bring compassion and understanding to that wounded, shamed, or abandoned part of ourselves.\r\n\r\nAs humans, we experience pain, shame, and separation, but can heal through the unconditional love and self-acceptance of the spirit-human alliance. Ask yourself: What might be possible if I was willing to just \"be with\" my insecurities and past wounding, without needing to fix them? What if my attempts to fix them was what was actually keeping me from seeing the divine perfection of it all?\r\n\r\nRather than looking to be saved, we are learning to ultimately embody our own divinity — to realize that we are all divine beings, and to live accordingly, knowing that everyone and everything is connected.\r\n\r\nFor those of you who want to have a better understanding of your personal healing journey, feel free to get the recording of my Chiron-workshop: \"Healing with Astrology\" <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product-category/online-courses/\">Click here for more info</a>\r\n\r\nAs the ruler of Sagittarius, Jupiter features strongly in this New Moon chart; the planet is currently in Scorpio, making a trine to Neptune in Pisces and squaring the Moon Nodes.\r\n\r\nJupiter\'s Trine to Neptune supports the opening of our heart and mind to spiritual realities beyond the borders of our previous understandings. Neptune represents unconditional love -- this is not based on personality or preference, but on the remembrance that we are all one with the Cosmos, eternally exploring and evolving.\r\n\r\nNeptune in Pisces asks us to have faith in the infinite support we receive every day from the universe — whether our mind understands it or not (what we understand with the mind is very different from what we comprehend with the heart).\r\n\r\nSeeing through the illusion of separation from the divine is perhaps the greatest perspective shift of all. What might be possible if we allowed ourselves to glance past our filters and glimpse the truth of who we are?\r\n\r\nJupiter in Scorpio also squares the Moon Nodes in Leo/Aquarius, asking us to share our deepest secrets, in order to help transform past traumas. We are being asked to take a 90-degree turn, to gain a new perspective, to explore different avenues, leading to different outcomes, especially in regards to our intimate relationships, our ability to connect on a deep emotional level, and in regards to sharing our resources with others.\r\n\r\nWe are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we want to focus on having more fun, joy and self-expression in our lives; on the other, we are asked to expand and learn about our inner experiences, our deeper issues — and to find a new perspective for who we are deep down, then communicate and share this, so we can shine consciousness and light on it.\r\n\r\nIn order to get to a place of greater joy on an individual level, one where we truly feel grateful for our lives, we need to first transform our perspective on old traumas and other deep issues from our past.\r\n\r\nIf this New Moon had a core message, it would be: Honor old patterns and struggles while releasing your attachments to them. As best as you can, provide yourself with compassion and understanding -- embrace your humanity in all its extraordinary capabilities and in its healing capacity. Ask yourself: Why am I here? Where am I going? What beliefs call out for reassessment? What do I believe -- and what do I simply “know”? Where do I need to take a leap of faith... or simply trust?\r\n\r\nBe open to shifting your perceptions. Where have I made assumptions? Which one of my \"filters\" could I do without for a while, just as an exercise in freedom?\r\n\r\nKeep looking at what needs to heal and keep taking responsibility for the \"deeper\" issues in your life. Where am I being challenged to \"be with what is\"? What does \"spiritual maturity\" mean to me?  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/new-moon-in-sagittarius-dec-2017-perception-and-perspective/\">Again, feel free to watch my New Moon video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 24-29 degrees of Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, Pisces? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</em>\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle. Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely not during a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the best time to set intentions would be any time between 1:30am until 8:10am EST Monday morning (Dec. 18th); and then again from 8:33am EST on Monday (Dec. 18th) until 1:30am EST Wednesday very early morning (Dec. 20th).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 8:10am EST,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for 23 minutes, until 8:33am EST. Use this intuitive time to focus on long-term projects that involve a truthful perspective or an adventure into the truth. As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 8:33am EST,</strong> the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Wednesday evening. We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it\'s still transiting through Sagittarius until Tuesday late evening, making this a great time to take a long, last look at our belief structures, explore limiting beliefs and bust through conditioned thought structures. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at the \"meaning of life\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, be authentic about your beliefs: Do they actually match your direct experience of life -- as it is for you now, rather than 5 or 10 years ago? What is true as of now? What is not?\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (Dec. 19th):</strong> the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn all day (see Monday morning for details). If you haven\'t set your New Moon Intentions yet, today (Tuesday all day) is still time to do so during the most potent time... If you\'d like some input on how to do that, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">check out this article</a> -- you could also <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/new-moon-in-sagittarius-dec-2017-perception-and-perspective/\">(re-)watch my New Moon video</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 11:49pm EST,</strong> Saturn changes signs from adventurous, truth-seeking and enthusiastic Sagittarius to practical, accomplishment-oriented and responsible Capricorn, where it will journey until Dec., 2020 (except for the period between March and July of 2020, when it will temporarily move into Aquarius, giving us preview of what\'s to come beyond Capricorn).\r\n\r\nSaturn feels quite comfortable in Capricorn, as that planet \"rules\" this earth sign; you might say that Capricorn and Saturn have a lot in common and understand each other. Here are some key characteristics that apply to both:\r\n\r\nBuilding long-lasting structures, diligence, effort, persistence in the face of no immediate rewards (i.e. deferred gratification), resilience, achievement, ambition, being goal-oriented, planning ahead, self-discipline, a mature, realistic approach, patience, hard work, integrity, manifestation through consistent application, setting heathy boundaries, focusing on what\'s within our control, taking our time, slowing down, karma (you reap what you sow), working towards becoming an authority of some kind... You get the idea :-)\r\n\r\nSo, between now and Dec. 2020, we are invited to look for practical applications for our ambitions. We may well be firming up our long-term goals -- this transit is a time to focus on building a secure foundation in our professional lives.\r\n\r\nSaturn in Capricorn also reminds us that in order to build or bring forth our visions, we need to look at the practical implications -- we need to slow down and take our time, if we are to manifest something that can withstand the test of time -- something that is of value to society, not just to a few.\r\n\r\nHowever, before we can know exactly what path to take, we must know where we currently stand -- we have to be realistic about \"where we\'re at\" to know what steps to take.\r\n\r\nIt\'s a time when we are working hard, taking on our fair share of duties and responsibilities, and either reaping some of the rewards of our hard work or facing the consequences of poor choices. We are invited, individually and collectively, to apply our newly refined ethics and life perspectives in a healthy and productive way.\r\n\r\nThink back to the period between Nov. 1988 and Feb. 1991 -- the last time Saturn made this journey: What did you accomplish back then, in regards to long-term goals, or the building of healthy foundations in your life? What area of life got a lot of your attention and focus in those days? Where did you have to apply yourself and have patience?\r\n\r\nBy the way, if you were born during that time period, you will experience your first \"Saturn Return\" within the next three years... (and if you were born between January, 1959 and January, 1962, you\'re coming up on your second Saturn Return).\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how Saturn\'s journey in Capricorn will impact you personally in the next three years, feel free <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/my-courses/\">to purchase my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, click here</a> or for a quick preview <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/5067/\">check out this 30-minute excerpt</a> of the webinar.\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Capricorn or Aquarius? If so, you will most likely feel a greater sense of responsibility, a need to be more realistic, serious and mature.</em>\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Tuesday,</strong> Mercury starts to slow down (station) in 13/14 degrees of Sagittarius, in preparation to come to a halt on Friday (Dec. 22nd) -- ending its 3-week retrograde phase. This station will last until Dec. 27th, and during this time, we will feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments once Mercury is moving direct again (to be more precise, during the shadow phase that follows -- for more details on Mercury Shadow Phases and Retrogrades, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">click here</a>)\r\n\r\nFor the next 8 days, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (if possible): wait until after Jan. 10th, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\nSome of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have Gemini or Virgo as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 13-14 degrees of Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo or Pisces.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (Dec. 20th)</strong>: the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn until 9:29pm EST (see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 10:37am EST,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 10.5 hours, until 9:29pm EST. You may be aware of two seemingly conflicting desires: On the one hand, a need for serious, diligent accomplishment -- and on the other, a desire to break free and rebel against obligations.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take some breaks, and \"let your freak flag fly\" -- just for a moment -- and revel in it! As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday (late morning until late evening) ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday mid-afternoon,</strong> a challenging Venus/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 2:10pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Sunday night on; it will remain strong until this Friday evening. This aspect asks us to stretch past injuries and insecurities in our relationships, self-worth and finances. If we can bring compassion and a different point of view to these issues, we will reach a new understanding of ourselves and our life journey.\r\n\r\nWe have the opportunity to learn from one another; ironically though, social insecurities can be magnified at this time. Whenever Chiron is involved, we are being asked to do some healing work. As best as you can, use this time to learn about your sore spots. Nobody is perfect: we all have our flaws and idiosyncrasies. It\'s ok.\r\n\r\nIf you get triggered by someone, as best as you can, take it as an opportunity to see where this trigger originated -- probably in your childhood. Bring love and compassion to yourself as you are, and as you were. Allow any feelings this may stir up in you. A feeling is just energy that wants to be experienced; it wants to move through us and out.\r\n\r\nThe more we resist our feelings, the more we keep them spinning in place. As best as you can, move from the head to the heart. What might change, if you had 5% more compassion with yourself and others? What if you just decided to have faith in the healing process?\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: 21-28 degrees of Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini or Virgo? If so, you are more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus or Libra (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday evening,</strong> a harmonious Venus/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 6:13pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Sunday night on; it will remain strong until this Friday evening. This aspect helps us to embrace all that is new and unusual in romance and finance. We are ready to experiment -- but not to commit. We have an offbeat, pleasant attitude and people are more willing to socialize.\r\n\r\nThis is an especially good time for financial undertakings involving any of the following: technology and the internet; metaphysics; the arts; group activities. We lose our fear of taking risks at this time, this could be a good couple of days for the stock market indexes…or at the very least, an unpredictable one :-)\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 21-28 degrees of Sagittarius, Aries or Leo? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Aquarius (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Uranus rules Aquarius)</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 9:29pm EST,</strong> the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius, where it will journey until Saturday late morning. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (Dec. 21st):</strong> the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius all day (see Wednesday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 11:28am EST,</strong> the Sun changes signs from optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius to practical, accomplishment-oriented, status-oriented Capricorn. This also marks the shortest day of the year (in the northern hemisphere) and the beginning of Winter -- aka the Winter Solstice.\r\n\r\nThe Solstices are important turning points that take place twice a year: They are energetic gateways for the summer or winter season to come through. Solstice Points are thus extra-potent times to set intentions and take part in ceremonies.\r\n\r\nThe Sun will journey through the sign of Capricorn until January 19th. Capricorn is a feet-on-the-ground, eyes-on-the-prize sign. As the Sun travels through it, we take a realistic, grounded approach to life; we know how to do things, and how to get things done.\r\n\r\nWe have a stronger sense of society and its structure, and feel most secure when doing our part within that structure; as such, worldly recognition may take on more importance for us. Making plans for the future can be very effective right now. We are more risk-averse at this time but we are ready to work hard and focus on what is essential.\r\n\r\n<em>All this is especially true if you are a Leo or Capricorn Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Capricorn, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo, you are more cautious and practical than usual…working towards a realistic long-term goal might be just the thing for you to do.</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday late afternoon,</strong> a Sun/Saturn alignment in 0 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 4:08pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from Monday on; it will remain strong until this Sunday. This alignment brings a more serious tone to our commitments with our long-term goals -- it\'s a time when we are called upon to \"get real\".\r\n\r\nThis is especially true for long-term projects that require diligence and self-discipline, but also applies to anything that requires consistency and a mature approach. We are motivated by the desire to manifest tangible results. We are able to focus and work hard right now, especially if we have a goal in mind, welcoming a sense of discipline, structure or order.\r\n\r\nRecommended at this time: making new commitments to old goals, taking care of our responsibilities, making careful use of anything that\'s within our control\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career point (or any personal planets) in the following: 27-29 degrees of Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, Pisces or 0-3 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries or Libra? If so, you may feel the effects of this alignment more strongly.</em>\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Thursday, </b><i>Uranus begins to slow down</i> -- it will come to a complete halt on Jan. 2nd, prior to starting its direct motion again after its 5-month retrograde phase. We will feel this <i>station</i> <b>until Jan. 14th; </b>until then, anything connected to Uranus\'s energy will come into our awareness quite strongly; we are faced with this planet’s message.\r\n\r\nUranus is all about breaking away from traditional structures, moving towards a new future, a future that serves others as well as ourselves. Keyword: Freedom. We might have flashes of insight or new ideas about what needs to change in our lives. Definitely expect the unexpected.\r\n\r\nUranus also rules electronics, technology and the internet, so don\'t be surprised if you experience some interruptions or short-term failures in these areas. Group activities are also ruled by Uranus, so these will also be more at the forefront of our awareness. As best as you can, stay open and flexible, go with the flow -- and pay attention to those messages from the Universe ;-)\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take a closer look at whatever is \"in your face\" <b>for the next 3.5 weeks.</b> Our intuitions will be very strong during this time and we have access to sudden insights and ideas. This gives us the opportunity to take a look to see how free we actually feel.\r\n\r\nAre we expressing our individuality to the fullest? Are we connecting to a larger vision? Is anything holding us back? What did you discover about visions and freedoms these past 5 months?\r\n\r\n<i>Is your Sun-sign or Ascendant in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>? Or do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 22-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this station.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (Dec. 22nd)</strong>: the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius all day (see Wednesday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 8:51pm EST,</strong> Mercury comes to a halt in 13 degrees of Sagittarius, and slowly starts its direct motion, after its 3-week retrograde phase. As best as you can, go with the flow, keep an open mind and pay attention to anything that is in your face right now -- you may need to address those issues again, when Mercury moves through its shadow phase…more on that later.\r\n\r\nWe are slowly ready to shift our focus back towards the outer world again, taking in new information and sharing from a new perspective. What did you learn about your inner dialog over the past 3 weeks? How might you share your findings in a healthy way with others? What needs to be addressed around your beliefs, perspectives, and attitudes towards life and other people?\r\n\r\nWhen Mercury gets back to its regular speed (by Dec. 27th), communication and transportation will get back to normal; the same is true of any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc.\r\n\r\nSome of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with Gemini or Virgo as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets (or angles) in 11-15 degrees of  Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, or Pisces.\r\n\r\nAs you may recall, I mentioned Mercury shadow phases in this update a few weeks back: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it\'s best to avoid the periods shortly before and after Mercury goes retrograde. This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) This particular shadow phase ends on Jan. 10th. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">Click here to read my blog on the subject</a>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (Dec. 23rd):</strong> the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius until 9:42am EST (see Wednesday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 5:13am EST,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 4.5 hours, until 9:42am EST. This is an intuitive time that presents an opportunity to connect to innovative ideas and unique world-views -- so if you can, connect with like-minded people and explore something new.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday morning ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 9:42am EST,</strong> the Moon moves into creative, sensitive Pisces, where it will journey until Monday evening. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (Dec. 24th):</strong> the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces all day (see Saturday late morning for details).\r\n\r\nSunday at 9:48pm EST, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 21.5 hours, until 7:27pm EST (Monday evening). Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect to your higher Self, and if possible, bring a sense of flow and faith to your long-term plans -- especially those you feel really passionate about.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday night and Monday Day ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (Dec. 25th):</strong> the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">VoC</a> until 7:27pm EST (see Saturday late morning for details). At 12:26am EST, Venus moves from Sagittarius into Capricorn where it will journey until January 18th 2018. In early afternoon, a Venus/Saturn alignment in 0.5 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 12:55pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Friday on; it will remain strong until this Thursday. At 7:27pm EST, the Moon moves into Aries, where it will journey until Thursday very early morning. More about all the details in next week’s forecast ;-)\r\n<h3>One Last Announcement:</h3>\r\nJoin me for my next FORECASTING FORUM, Wednesday, <strong>Jan. 3rd, 2018 at</strong> 1pm PST/ <strong>4pm EST</strong>/9pm GMT (London-time).

Feel free to <a href=\"https://goo.gl/3GBjcD\">check out this 30-minute excerpt</a> -- enjoy!\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how Saturn\'s journey in Capricorn will impact you personally in the next three years, feel free to get the mp4-video presentation. <a href=\"http://goo.gl/8nXkE0\">To purchase this 90+ minute webinar, click here</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>This week\'s headline items</strong>: Chiron, though no longer retrograde, is still stationing all week; Mercury is still retrograde all week. Saturn will be in 29 degrees of Sagittarius all week (this is the last degree of the sign). The Balsamic Moon phase begins on Thursday morning and the New Moon in Sagittarius becomes exact on Sunday night.\r\n\r\n<strong>There will also be two <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week:</strong> Wednesday morning (for 1.5 hours), and Thursday evening (for almost 23.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (Dec. 11th) at 12:01am EST,</strong> the Moon moves into relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking Libra, where it will journey until Wednesday early morning. The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\nChiron in Pisces is no longer retrograde, but is stationing <strong>all week,</strong> and Saturn will be in 29 degrees of Sagittarius <strong>all week</strong> -- the last degree of that sign -- this means that both of these planets are exalted all week. Our focus is directed to the healing process around our relationship to intuition and our emotional sensitivities -- and we are also directed to take a long, last look at our belief structures.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Do the stories I tell myself about life open my heart and mind? Do they make me more loving or more fearful? Do they enrich my life or narrow it? What is \"truth\" -- does it exist? What is my truth?\r\n\r\nWhat might true acceptance and kindness look like towards myself, others, and the world at large? What if a compassionate approach to my inner healing process actually benefited me and others?\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (December 12th):</strong> the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra <strong>all day</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday evening</strong>, a Sun/Mercury alignment in 21º of Sagittarius becomes exact at 8:49pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from Monday on; it will remain strong until Wednesday night. This aspect indicates a confident mind and an analytical approach to life. Intelligence and communication abilities are strong at this time; however, we may not listen as well as the other speaks -- we might be too busy thinking about what to say next.\r\n\r\nWith this alignment taking place in Sagittarius, we may feel particularly rushed or impatient, but it may not always serve us to get stuck on being \"right\" or insisting on things going faster.\r\n\r\nWe want an active role in communications -- it\'s very hard for us to passively listen and absorb information right now. What we say or write now has impact; so, as best as you can, choose your words wisely. If people hung on your every word, what would you say then? What would you hold back from saying?\r\n\r\nOur opinions are strong and our thinking independent -- and we\'re proud of both -- our egos may therefore get bruised if we don\'t feel \"heard\". As best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have different opinion and that\'s ok.\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo or Pisces? If so, you will be more affected by this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo, Gemini or Virgo (the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (Dec. 13th):</strong> the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking Libra until 8:59am EST (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 7:27am EST,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for 1.5 hours, until 8:59am EST. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to collaborate with others and bring a new level of focus and authenticity to your exploration of life.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday evening and night ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 8:59am EST,</strong> the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong>, where it will journey until Friday evening. We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s therefore an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can therefore be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so as best you can, be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (Dec. 14th):</strong> the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio all day (see Wednesday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday late morning</strong>, Balsamic Moon phase begins when the Moon enters 11.5º of Scorpio. This lasts until Sunday night/Monday very early morning, when the New Moon in <strong>Sagittarius</strong> becomes exact (more on that later...however, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">feel free to watch my video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\nWe are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our inner sensing/intuition. For some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes.\r\n\r\nThis is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 8:42pm EST,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 23.5 hours, until 8:07pm EST (Friday evening). Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to focus on inner processes. As best as you can, release any fears or traumas that keep you stuck in the past, and deepen your connection to what you feel deeply passionate about.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday evening and Friday Day ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (Dec. 15th):</strong> the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing Scorpio and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">VoC</a>  until 8:07pm EST (see Wednesday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday morning</strong>, a Mercury/Venus alignment in 18º of Sagittarius becomes exact at 9:09am EST. We started to feel this aspect from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until this Sunday evening. This is an excellent time to share about bravery, acts of heroism, physical activities, sports, new adventures or endeavors, ourselves, our personal goals -- or anything we feel passionate about -- and also about any teaching endeavors connected to those areas.\r\n\r\nThis alignment supports communicating from a passionate heart -- and in fact, it becomes essential to connect to people with whom we feel a strong affinity. We wish to form those connections in a spirit of harmony, directness and equality. In fact, we tend generally to have a strong sense of fairness at this time, and want to be around people who share this passion.\r\n\r\nWe also thoroughly enjoy the written and spoken word -- literature, wordplay, puns, moving conversations -- especially when these words speak of something new (or courageous).\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 15-21 degrees of Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo or Pisces?  If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly; the same is true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Virgo, Gemini, Libra or Taurus  (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra)</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 8:07pm EST</strong>, the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius, where it will journey until Monday morning (Dec. 18th). We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence, which means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, than take orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late evening,</strong> a challenging Sun/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 10:46pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from Tuesday night on; it will remain strong until Monday evening (Dec. 18). This asks us to stretch ourselves and expand from within. We might feel less confident about who we are, and have a hard time projecting a social \"front\". Our conditioned mind and wounded feelings may be out of harmony with each other.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take this as an opportunity to make space for feeling vulnerable or emotional without seeing yourself as weak or \"less than\". It is perfectly ok to have feelings and feel insecure once in a while; as best as you can, bring compassion and love to yourself and others. After all, we are all human…\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in 21-28 degrees of Sagittarius, Pisces, Virgo, or Gemini? If so, you will feel the effects of this aspect more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo (the Sun rules Leo).</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (Dec. 16th)</strong>: the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius <strong>all day</strong>  (see Friday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday morning</strong>, a harmonious Sun/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 6:28am EST. We started to feel this aspect from Tuesday night on; it will remain strong until Monday evening (Dec. 18). This aspect connects us to a strong energy field -- physical and metaphysical. We feel alive, we want to create a better future for ourselves and others, and we want to have fun doing it. Watch out for messages from the Universe :-)\r\n\r\nOriginality and innovation come easy to us, as does connection with like-minded people. We can celebrate (and leverage) our idealism and unorthodox approaches to life\'s challenges. What if you expressed what\'s uniquely \"you\" without apologies? What if you did it with authenticity and pride? And, looking at things from a different angle: What might be possible with a bigger network of like-minded people?\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in 21-28 degrees of Sagittarius, Aries or Leo? If so, you will feel more blessed by this planetary connection than otherwise.This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Aquarius or Leo (the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius)</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (Dec. 17th)</strong>: the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius <strong>all day</strong> (see Friday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early morning</strong> starts with lots of mental energy and an adventurous attitude.\r\n\r\n<strong>Towards the late morning/mid-day</strong>, we still have lots of energy at our disposal, plus a desire to connect with others and have some adventures. Physical exercise or activities with others are great ways to channel this energy.\r\n\r\n<strong>Towards the later evening,</strong> we may need to make some adjustments again. As best you can, honor both your need for adventure and exploration of life and your need to heal past wounding or insecurities.\r\n\r\nYou may also feel a pull between introvert and extrovert, or simply fast and slow. Tune in for a moment and see if you need to take a break or at least slow down a little. As best as you can, be compassionate and kind with yourself.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening:</strong> we might find ourselves wanting to connect with like-minded people, so we can share our enthusiasm and vision for life with them.\r\n\r\nAs <strong>Sunday</strong> is also the last day before the New Moon becomes exact, this is a great day to let go of what no longer serves us. As best as you can, avoid jumping the gun: Rather than launching into brand-new endeavors or connections, wait until a couple of days have passed after the New Moon.\r\n\r\nSome of us might feel a little anxious or nervous today: As best as you can, get quiet and go within… Listen to the silence between the sounds… Find peace in the connection with your innermost and truest Self.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday night/Monday very early morning at 1:30am EST,</strong> the New Moon in 26.5º of Sagittarius becomes exact. I will write in more detail about this New Moon in next week\'s forecasts -- for now, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">feel free to watch my video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (Dec. 18th)</strong>: The Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius until 8:33am EST (see Friday evening for details). Monday very early morning, at 1:30am EST, the New Moon in 26.5 degrees of Sagittarius becomes exact. At 8:10am EST, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for 23 minutes, until 8:33am EST. At that time, the Moon moves into <strong>Capricorn</strong>, where it will journey until Wednesday evening.

We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681674\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681676\">But... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681677\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681679\">It\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.<b> </b></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681680\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681682\"><b>Tuesday (October 3rd)</b>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><i></i><b><i>Pisces </i></b><b>all day </b><b></b>(see Monday late morning for details).</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681683\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681685\"><b>Tuesday mid-afternoon, </b><i>a harmonious Venus/Pluto aspect </i><b></b>becomes exact at 3:09pm EDT.<b> We started to feel this aspect from last Sunday on; it will remain strong until this Saturday. </b>This aspect brings a fruitful and rewarding period in our lives. We experience new depths of intimacy (with an existing or new partner), we learn to appreciate the important people in our lives, and our value system transforms and evolves.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681686\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681688\">This is likely an excellent period for finances as well. Work we\'ve done might pay off, and we are able to manage our finances better, with more attention to detail, planning and strategy -- as well as the elimination of anything that no longer serves us. We might renew a commitment, or bring new, deeper and more intimate energy into a relationship under the influence of this aspect.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681689\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681691\">Our sexual lives might get a real boost now, as we tend to want to connect on a deeper level. We might find ourselves strongly attracted to someone, almost to the point of obsession. If this aspect connects with any of your personal planets, you might just meet the \"love of your life\".</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681692\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681694\">One thing is for sure -- relationships experienced now are bound to be unforgettable. While this transit tends to signal new or strengthened relationships, any relationship that ends during this cycle may leave us feeling liberated.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681695\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681697\"><i>Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in </i><i>14-20 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Virgo, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> will be most blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Venus being the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681698\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681700\"><b>Wednesday (October 4th)</b>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><i></i><b><i>Pisces </i>until </b><b>4:40pm </b>(see Monday late morning for details).</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681701\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681703\"><b>Wednesday at 3:19am EDT, </b>we enter a <a class=\"userlink\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 13 hours <b>until 4:40pm EDT</b>. We are pulled in two quite different directions: On the one hand, we experience a desire for inner silence, emotional oneness, and the flow of creativity through us. On the other hand, we want to explore our belief structures and how they relate to the outside world.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681705\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681707\">We may therefore feel anxious or restless; as best as you can, slow down, acknowledge what is, know that all is well in each \"now moment\".</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681708\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681710\">Use this intuitive time to make adjustments and find creative solutions when it comes to these energies. As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday Day ahead of time ;-)</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681711\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681713\"><b>Wednesday at 4:40pm EDT</b>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><b><i>,</i></b> where it will journey <b>until Friday evening.</b> Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681714\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681716\">Our independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681717\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681719\">If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the Full Moon (exact on Thursday afternoon). <a class=\"userlink\" href=\"https://youtu.be/T6Xu8HmU7E4\">Click here to watch my Full Moon video</a></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681721\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681723\"><b>Wednesday late evening, </b><i>a somewhat challenging Sun/Neptune aspect </i><b></b>becomes exact at 11:09pm EDT.<b> We started to feel this aspect from Tuesday night on; it will remain strong until Thursday night. </b>This aspect feels \"internal\" -- inner unease and awkwardness -- and we need to make a choice. Given that it is an internal issue, we need to develop an inner awareness, if we’re to see what needs adjusting.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681724\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681726\">Our energy tends to be unrealistically directed -- and our sense of self may actually change as we learn that we have wrongly assessed important situations. Our self-trust could takes a hit at this time.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681727\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681729\">Due to our high ideals, we may take on more than we can physically handle -- if we start to feel drained or frustrated, it might be helpful to look at the overall direction we are taking. Do your best to rest and have quiet time alongside your interactions with others.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681730\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681732\">It is also worthwhile to look for how our ideas are being received by others: Can we involve them in creating/realizing our dreams? Perhaps we are not sure whether we want to keep dreaming our dream privately, or share it with others... As best as you can, slow down: where there is spaciousness, there is flow; where there is flow, there is effortless creation.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681733\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681735\"><i>Do you have your Career Point (or personal planets) in </i><i>11-13 degrees</i><i> of</i><b><i> Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces</i></b><i>?

If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars is the ruler of Aries)</i></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681756\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681758\"><b>Thursday afternoon, </b><b>at 2:40pm EDT</b> <i>the Moon opposes the Sun</i> <i>in almost 13 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b>. <b>We started to feel this aspect when the Moon entered <i>Aries</i> on Wednesday afternoon</b>. Generally, a Full Moon brings our attention to our \"emotional body” increasing our awareness of what has been suppressed or ignored. <a class=\"userlink\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/full-moon/full-moon-in-aries-oct-2017-having-autonomy/\">Feel free to also watch my video on the subject</a></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681760\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681762\"><b>The Aries/Libra polarity</b> directs that awareness to the roles we identify with in our various one-on-one relationships — and this Full Moon is thus a call to take action on those roles, perhaps even redefine them.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681763\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681765\">In particular, it brings the focus to \"independence\": Where do we need to be more assertive? More accommodating? Where have we been too independent? Too dependent? What roles or contracts need to be revisited?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681766\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681768\">This also involves the balance of feminine and masculine energies within ourselves, our relationships, and our world. Where in your life is one of these out of balance? What happens when there is too much masculine? Too much feminine?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681769\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681771\">Something else to bear in mind about this Full Moon: not only is <i>the Sun</i> in opposition to the Moon in Aries, it is also <i>aligned with Mercury in </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681772\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681774\">This is a call for exploration of loving, equal, mutually beneficial relationships and partnerships — and a good time to resolve conflicts, especially within our one-on-one relationships: What is calling to be resolved?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681775\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681777\">That said, the strongest message of this Full Moon is definitely that healthy relationship with our own inner feminine and masculine energies. What if you already knew how to experience this balance?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681778\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681780\"><i>Mars</i> (the ruler of Aries) <i>and Venus </i>(the ruler of Libra)<i> are both currently in </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>,</i> closely aligned<i>,</i><i>squaring Saturn in </i><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>opposing Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces, </i></b><i>and</i><b><i></i></b><i>trining Pluto in</i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681781\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681783\">So let\'s talk first about the <i>Venus/Mars alignment in </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>: </i>this indicates a marriage of courage and collaboration, inviting us to allow the masculine (active/doing/asserting) and feminine (receiving/allowing/being) to work together and be of service to each other. We have a chance to express our needs, passions, and desires now in more effective ways and are more likely to get things done well.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681784\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681786\">Given that this combo is taking place in Virgo, we prefer to take a realistic approach to things, aiming all our passion and love toward excellence, and enjoying the details. We definitely also have a desire to help and serve others rights now.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681787\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681789\">Things to watch out for though: sweating the details, worrying, and being extra-critical of ourselves and others when something doesn’t get done \"right\".</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681790\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681792\">The last time we experienced this alignment was back in<b> Nov. 2015: </b>Was there a new beginning back then, in regards to how your feminine and masculine energies operate and collaborate? What has shifted for you since then?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681793\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681795\">Mars and Venus <i>square Saturn in </i><b><i>Sagittarius; </i></b>this combo invites us to stretch and grow.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681796\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681798\">We are learning to live life in moderation... and this might be frustrating at first, if we develop the sense that we don\'t have \"enough\" (experiences, knowledge, expertise, success, etc...) What’s more, Virgo’s perfectionism might also make it difficult to know when it might actually be “enough”.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681799\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681801\">Ask yourself: What if I was inherently already (and always) enough? Would that knowledge allow me to step off the merry-go-round?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681802\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681804\">How might it benefit me to slow down and take it one step at a time? What hasn\'t been said yet? How could I communicate that from a place of maturity and self-responsibility -- without being rigid?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681805\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681807\">Mars and Venus <i>oppose Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>: </i>We are asked to embrace the “power of love”, that comes from allowing ourselves to be human and accepting our limitations -- loving ourselves “because” of all that, rather than \"despite\" it.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681808\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681810\">Chiron is supporting us with healing and the integration of issues around the feminine/masculine balance that we all need to feel whole, that helps us to function better out there in the world. This is definitely a favorable time for practicing forgiveness, both towards others and toward ourselves; what if, in fact, there was nothing to forgive? What if everything were already forgiven?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681811\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681813\">We are invited to deeply appreciate the partnership with the Earth and all of life. Ask yourself: What am I able to feel when I tune into all of life around me? How can I bring a kind and loving approach to myself as I allow myself to experience human frailty?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681814\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681816\">Mars and Venus <i>trine</i><i>Pluto in </i><b><i>Capricorn. </i></b>This<b><i> </i></b>allows for a flow between our actions and ability to be of service, and our collective Soul Purpose of building an empowered society that is emotionally connected to (even passionate about) achieving something great and lasting, that works for everyone.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681817\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681819\">This is a very practical combo that reminds us we are all born onto a living, breathing entity that is our home and that we must protect and nourish, if we want to continue being supported by its resources. What might being of service to my own body and the body of the planet I live on look like? How might this approach bring about a better future for generations to come?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681820\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681822\"><i>Pluto in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>, still exalted in the sky until Oct. 10th, <i>squares the Full Moon and Mercury in </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i>... </i>This is also a \"stretch aspect\" -- it invites us to connect to ourselves from within, even though there is so much that pulls us into other directions.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681823\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681825\"><b>Aries &amp; Libra</b> are both extroverted, social signs -- and Pluto in <b>Capricorn</b> asks us to feel fully empowered in the world. In order to do that, we need to first bring empowerment to our emotional body and get clear about what we need on that level, vs. what we want (i.e our desires.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681826\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681828\">Ask yourself: How might I be able to strengthen my connection to the wisdom of my body? To my inner roots? What activities might help me feel more grounded and safe in the world? How can I nurture myself to the point that I am at once connected to others and yet completely independent? What would it look like to stand in my power <i>and </i>grow and evolve with the support of others?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681829\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681831\">Pluto represents our deepest empowerment process -- it\'s where we face our worst fears, own our shadow (all that has been suppressed or denied), and align with our divine purpose. We may feel impatient (or even obsessive) right now about our career goals. Suppressed desires may surface and demand action.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681832\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681834\">What am I most scared about, when it comes to my accomplishments? Am I allowing myself to listen to the deepest calling of my Soul?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681835\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681837\">As best you can, choose words carefully, speaking from a deeply connected and empowered place. Choose love over fear whenever possible. Ask: could I nurture myself -- mentally, physically and emotionally — such that I feel safe and loved? Maybe like a healthy parent cradling a baby…?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681838\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681840\">Some more questions you can ask yourself: Could I let go of wanting to control another\'s experience? Could I allow myself to have productive discussions rather than controversy? What might complete honesty and transparency make possible? What does mutual empowerment look like to me?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681841\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681843\">There is also a <i>Jupiter/Uranus opposition in </i><b><i>Libra/Aries.</i></b> This asks us to be brave -- willing to take risks, explore new alternatives, access our courage and think outside the box.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681844\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681846\">This also generates lots of core energy and enthusiasm, inspiring us to break free from conventional, outdated social structures, especially the roles we play. We might need more independence in our relationships. As best as you can, use this energy to initiate new, exciting relationships -- including the \"relationship\" with yourself.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681847\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681849\">What does \"new and unexpected\" look like to me? How could I generate change without discounting input from others? Could I allow myself to be with what I see, without acting impulsively or erratically to force change?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681850\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681852\">As <i>Jupiter moves into the last degree of </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>, it\'s energy becomes more exalted; it is getting ready to leave this sign of balance, equality and justice. You could say it is about to have its last hurrah in \"maybe this, maybe that?” Libra, before it moves into all-or-nothing Scorpio on Oct. 10th for a little over a year.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681853\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681855\">We will address Jupiter\'s journey through Scorpio in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum on Oct. 6th. Feel free to join us; I especially recommend it if you have Scorpio or Sagittarius as your Sun, Moon or Rising-sign. <a class=\"userlink\" href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\"><b>To register now, click here </b></a></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681857\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681859\">To sum it all up for this Full Moon: We are in a critical phase of our spiritual growth process, in which we are asked to release all that is holding us back… This means dysfunctional and restrictive relationships, addictions and negative habits, thought patterns -- and possessions that take up too much of our time, effort and sense of inner abundance. As best as you can, see this an an opportunity; allow, rather than resist ;-)</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681860\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681862\">And if nothing else, do your best to remember that we all signed up for this journey to become a spiritual, fully human adult that exists in an ever-expanding, multidimensional realm of physicality… not always an easy feat...</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681863\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681865\">Take a deep breath and allow yourself to see the irony and paradox of \"life\". And, as best as you can, take responsibility for your thought forms, remain curious <i>and</i> nurture yourself, dig deeper to truly understand your own emotional needs, so you can connect to others and yourself from a place of strength and autonomy.

Sometimes, imagination and mind can run way ahead of what is actually feasible (and sensible). At these times, the grand vision is best served by focusing on the next concrete step, accepting our own idiosyncrasies as we go.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681879\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681881\">Honesty is crucial here, especially self-honesty; inner awareness is in turn crucial to deep honesty and authenticity. What\'s true for you? What might be possible for humanity? Where do those overlap?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681882\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681884\">Note that I say \"overlap\": Don\'t look for an exact fit, this is more like two puzzle pieces that came from different jigsaw puzzles. You might keep looking at the imperfect fit and feel a nagging sense that something doesn\'t make sense… and it doesn\'t -- it can\'t. The pieces are not from the same game. Just do your best to \"hang out\" with the discomfort, rather than repeatedly trying to figure it out and fix it.</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681885\"></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-681887\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in </i><i>11-13 degrees</i><i> of</i><b><i> Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces</i></b><i>?

What would you hold back from saying?\r\n\r\nOur opinions are strong and our thinking independent -- and we\'re proud of both -- our egos may therefore get bruised if we don\'t feel \"heard\".

When we confront our fears we very often discover hidden gifts and strengths.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-7095910\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-7095912\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 15-19 degrees of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Aries, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>?

Oppositions can be acted out within relationships: one person embodies one of the energies, while the other person \"holds\" the energy of the other pole. When this happens, we sometimes experience the opposition as something that the other person is triggering in us. </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-7095922\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-7095924\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">In the case of this particular opposition, it may be someone poking at our wounds, or pointing out our shortcomings -- which brings up our insecurities or secret shame. This may cause us to spin into an emotional place that is not only connected to what is happening in the moment but also connected to our past -- to our childhood. </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-7095925\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-7095927\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">If this happens, as best as you can, locate the original pain or wound -- and bring compassion, love, understanding, and forgiveness to yourself (and towards your younger Self). Healing can only take place if we are willing to embrace our flaws and love our most vulnerable places. </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-7095928\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-7095930\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">Blaming, shaming, attacking and justifying will not heal us faster -- it will cause more pain and suffering, within us and around us. How quickly would you like to heal? </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-7095931\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-7095933\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in </i><i>23-29 degrees</i> of<b><i> Virgo, Pisces, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b>? <i>If so, you will feel this opposition quite strongly.

This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-7095937\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-7095939\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">The good news is, the Mercury shadow<i> phase ends</i><b></b>today <b>(Tuesday) at 11:50am EDT</b>.

As best as you can, check to see if your intentions are inspired or fearful -- remember, deep, authentic love of all that we are will connect us to the Power within. Contrast that with Fear, which causes \"Force\" or \"Walls\" to show up -- it is ultimately what disempowers ourself and others. </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-7096065\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-7096067\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">Here are some coaching questions to ponder: When I notice that I\'m operating from fear or self-protection, could I simply allow myself to be with that, without judgment or criticism -- just simply embracing my own humanity? What might be possible if I was \"ok\" either way -- with fear, without fear?</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-7096068\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-7096070\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"><i>Pluto is slowing down (\"stationing”)</i><i></i><i>as it </i><i>prepares to come to a halt </i><b>on Sept. 28th</b>.

It can therefore be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-7096167\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-7096169\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">Manipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so as best you can, be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are. </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-7096170\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-7096172\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">Know thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free.

Virgo seeks physical wholeness, Pisces reminds us of an even greater wholeness -- our interconnectedness with all of life. Virgo benefits from apprenticeship, while Pisces learns to trust inner guidance above all else; when balanced, we are able to discern without judgment, serve without obligation, and love all of creation (including ourselves).</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-5813475\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-5813477\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"><b>Virgo’s</b> primary spiritual lesson is discernment.

Love is the most powerful healing force there is, so as best as you can, harness the energy of love, compassion, gratitude and forgiveness!

We are invited to allow for the flow of things… Just like the tides, just like our breath, we are invited to allow for feelings/thoughts/sensations to move in, and move out again. When we are scared, we hold tension, and things can not flow.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-5813550\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-5813552\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">Ask yourself: What might be possible for myself, if I transformed fearful reactions or judgments into compassionate observation of what is, allowing it to be, giving it permission to move through? What if the greatest gift I could give myself was the liberation of my heart-energies and the shift from separation to the experience of oneness? </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-5813553\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-5813555\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"><b>For the next two weeks</b>, as best as you can, trust yourself.

Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-3628361\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-3628363\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">The Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s therefore an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas. </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-3628364\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-3628366\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">Moon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can therefore be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-3628367\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-3628369\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">Manipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so as best you can, be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are. </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-3628370\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-3628372\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">Know thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others. </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-3628373\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">\r\n</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-3628375\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"><b>Saturday late afternoon, </b><i>a Sun/Mercury alignment in 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo </i></b><b></b>becomes exact at 4:42pm EDT.<b> We started to feel this aspect from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Thursday. </b>This aspect indicates a confident mind and an analytical approach to life.

What would you hold back from saying?\r\n\r\nOur opinions are strong and our thinking independent -- and we\'re proud of both -- our egos may therefore get bruised if we don\'t feel \"heard\".

Now remove one of the legs. You now have two legs “opposite” each other and a third one at right angles to each of the other two; together, they make the shape of a “T”. </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687975\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687977\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">This is not a very stable, well-balanced table, as it has an “empty” spot where a leg should be.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687978\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687980\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">Likewise, a T-Square is a formation of 3 planets that together form the shape of a “T” in a chart — two form an “opposition”, the third one usually “squares” them both. </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687981\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687983\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">The third planet is known as the “focus planet”. Just like our table, this planet has an “empty leg” directly across from it in the chart.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687984\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687986\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">Why does this matter? Because the “focus planet” in a T-Square brings more stress, and thus a more urgent demand for our growth. We resolve and relieve that stress, and thereby ease the growth process, by bringing the focus planet’s higher expression to that “empty leg” in the chart. </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687987\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687989\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">Let’s get down to the specifics of this particular T-square:</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687990\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"><b></b>\r\n</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687992\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">As previously mentioned, it involves <b>Pluto in Capricorn, Jupiter in Libra, and Uranus in Aries.</b> All of these planets have been within 5 degrees of each other since the T-Square formed back in November and will remain so until early April. Jupiter in Libra and Uranus in Aries form the “opposition” legs of the table, while Pluto in Capricorn is the \"focus planet\".</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687993\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687995\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">This is a very powerful combo.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687996\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687998\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">It\'s asking us to be completely honest, with ourselves and others, about our intentions and motivations -- especially around long-term goals. We are also asking this of our leaders right now, we want them to be honest, to have authentic intentions.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687999\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688001\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">This aspect brings the message that each of us has the power to make a difference in the world… that we need not just give our power away to world “leaders” or “influencers”. It’s saying “We all have power, we all can make a difference — Own that! Seize the moment! Take up your courage with both hands and move forward!\"</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688002\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688004\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">We are at a turning point: Empowering others is now key! Notice when you try to force your beliefs on others — that could introduce an element of disempowerment for them and us.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688005\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688007\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">There is also some tension between relationships and long-term goals. We may ask how our relationships support us in accomplishing those long-term goals. At the root of this are seemingly conflicting desires: We want to expand our experience of harmony, balance and collaboration, all while passionately building something empowering over the long haul. It\'s not always easy to “square” these energies.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688008\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688010\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">As best as you can, stay flexible, make adjustments, find creative solutions when it comes to these very different desires and focuses. If we feel boxed in to something inauthentic, we may rebel or act contrary. This will be even more true within our relationships -- this could bring in some restlessness or instability, perhaps related to our business relationships or long-term goals. </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688011\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688013\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">As best as you can, don\'t take things too personally -- and stay as flexible as possible. Allow there to be breakthroughs, shifts, changes. As always, change could be uncomfortable — perhaps because we like what\'s familiar -- or because we want change so badly that we can\'t handle the in-between phase that comes will all transitions… it’s an invitation to stretch ourselves and step into the unknown.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688014\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688016\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">Here’s some \"self-coaching” questions to ease you on your way:</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688017\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688019\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">What if that \"something unexpected” around the corner was guaranteed to change my life for the better? What needs to be eliminated? Changed? What would \"courage\" do? What if I simply surprised myself, right here and now? </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688020\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688022\"><i><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">Let’s look at some other facets of this T-square. Earlier, we mentioned that the “focus planet” is Pluto in Capricorn:</span></i></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688023\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688025\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">This T-square is thus asking us to stretch and grow along another dimension: we are invited to empower ourselves in the world by connecting to our \"feeling body” and by developing a deeper understanding of our physical and emotional needs (especially for safety).</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688026\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688028\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">At the same time, we are also invited to stretch ourselves to create a more authentic and empowered society -- one that honors the unique, individual contribution of <i>everyone</i> -- one capable of owning its fears and less attractive characteristics. How might we bring this about? The best place to start is to honor ourselves and express our unique spark. </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688029\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688031\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">All of this accelerates the breakdown of long-standing patterns: we are invited individually and collectively to resolve core karmic lessons -- shifting from an old paradigm to a new one. </span>What might a \"new paradigm\" be?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688032\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688034\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">How can we accomplish change without discounting input from others? </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688035\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688037\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">What if change were something we could simply allow, rather than something that involved aggression?</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688038\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688040\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">As best as you can, take it one moment at a time, there is no need to rush anything ;-) Ask yourself: Could I allow myself to be uncomfortable, just for right now?</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688041\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688043\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">The position of this T-square in our birth chart shows the area of life in which we are developing not only courage and initiative (Aries), but also diplomacy and collaborative spirit (Libra)<i>, together with</i> responsibility and integrity (Capricorn). </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688044\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688046\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">This T-Square is also asking us to redefine personal and collective freedom. We are invited to release old patterns, particularly around gender, so we can each fulfill our unique role at this critical juncture on Earth. Much like the 1960’s, we are laying the groundwork for future generations right now.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688047\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688049\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">Just as was true then, we need to let our vision direct our thoughts and actions, rather than our fear. Simply <i>know</i> that it is possible -- and that you are part of what makes it possible.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688050\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688052\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">That said — and somewhat paradoxically -- bringing forth a global consciousness based on freedom, equality and mutual benefit, will mean addressing what lurks in the shadows: our unconscious… the suppressed, feared, denied, ignored, shameful, etc.  In other words, the inner work not only continues, it informs and enables the vision.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688053\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688055\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">So, I ask myself (and invite you to do the same): What are my true motivations? If fears were driving me, what might they be? </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688056\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688058\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">What might shift if I faced those fears -- acknowledged them, brought them out into the open? </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688059\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688061\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">What if I allowed myself to surrender to my own higher power, or to my passionately pumping, wildly open heart? Trust your inner truth!</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688062\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688064\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">By definition, a better future pretty much always requires doing different things, or doing things differently, so be ready to correct your course or set a new one... Is there another path that leads to the goal? What if it were possible to take responsibility <i>and</i> be flexible at the same time? </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688065\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688067\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">What if I forgave myself for just a moment? Even for limitations I still have… even for fears… maybe even for my phobias... for all the “stuff” I still carry around, whether from a past life or this one?</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688068\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688070\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">As you can see, we are asked to let go of our fearful conditioning, and embrace a vision that calls for us to \"live into\" the highest version of ourselves. </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688071\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688073\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">This will mean we take an innovative approach both to who we are personally, and to our interactions with others. The same is true of our perspective on justice, we’re asking ourselves: what is just? We’re seeking harmony and balance.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688074\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688076\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">Life is so short in relationship to the life of the planet. That we are not in this body for very long, means that there is a certain degree of urgency -- almost like a responsibility — to make it count for something. If we are like a single drop of rain in a mighty rainstorm, why not at least be a drop that makes a ripple when it returns to the ocean? Who knows, perhaps as your ripple meets others, it might create a beautiful resonance with everything around it -- a harmony that ripples down through eternity…</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688077\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688079\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">I therefore invite you to be passionate about life. Why not fully express our uniqueness? After all, that\'s what will create the shift. It’s what moves other people. It’s the best and easiest way to touch each others lives.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688080\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688082\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">We are definitely being pulled in many different directions with this T-Square, personally and collectively — radically different.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688083\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688085\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">And, as regular readers of my <a class=\"userlink\" href=\"http://goo.gl/epw2Uo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Weekly Forecasts</a> know: Self-care is therefore critical. Why do I say this?</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688087\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688089\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">It’s this simple: if we don’t maintain our physical bodies, we will not be able to maintain the pace, or meet the demands placed on us right now. </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688090\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688092\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">The empty leg of this T-square being in Cancer, it emphasizes that message: we are reminded to nurture ourselves, especially (once again) our \"feeling body\". We are being invited to pay attention to our basic needs -- for love, acceptance, control, safety &amp; security, etc. </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688093\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688095\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">As best as you can then, take breaks — or at least slow down and allow yourself to relax. It’s important to explore ways to stay centered and grounded -- seek tools or people to help you with that exploration. This is true always, of course, but holds especially true until the end of the T-Square in early April.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688096\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688098\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">Some of us struggle with this. Perhaps we think “I don’t deserve that” or “I’m too busy -- my function in the world is more important than the body that performs the work.” Some of us hear \"self-care\", and think “selfish”.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688099\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688101\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">When you think about it, though, selfish behaviors are generally coming from fear. And who is served when we neglect our physical or emotional health?</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688102\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688104\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">I invite you to reclaim the term “self-care\" for love. Aren’t you as deserving of your love and support as any “external” person? Where and how could \"self-oriented\" motivations serve you and others?</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688105\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688107\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">\"Self-care\" doesn’t have to be a trip to Hawaii -- we’re talking about simple things, like making sure that we eat mindfully, drink plenty of water, exercise, get plentiful rest. This is about letting in affection from friends, family, or pets. It doesn’t matter what your current energetic or financial situation, you can always find some way to let some nurturing happen :-)</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688108\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688110\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">What (or who) brings you comfort and support? How can you nurture yourself in these times of change? </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688111\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688113\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">What if empowerment in the world came from being in touch with our \"feeling-body”? What might we accomplish if we simply asked for what we need?</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688114\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688116\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">In other words, “self-care” means connecting to whatever feels supportive, in order to stay grounded and regenerate; this is particularly important right now, because we are feeling very action-oriented.  If everything else is moving fast, it’s good if we slow down, become the eye of the storm. If nothing else, at least we can do our best to roll with the punches, while standing in our power.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688117\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688119\"><span style=\"color: #231f20;font-family: verdana\">If you\'d like some help with this, <a class=\"userlink\" href=\"https://youtu.be/v61DXVSMcg4?t=24m\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">watch my Full Moon in Gemini video</a> -- towards the end, I invite you to do a quick experiment with me, using simple questions from the \"Sedona Method”.

We will see this dynamic acted out on a global level between governments, corporations and alternative organizations or youth groups.\r\n\r\nOn a more personal level, we will all experience this “tug-of-war” within our own lives. Two different areas of our lives will be affected; these areas depend on your personal chart. This is a call to stretch and grow beyond what we have known ourselves to be. This might be an uncomfortable, stressful time, but it is also the most exciting time of our lives -- and of the history of this planet.\r\n\r\nEach time Uranus and Pluto connect until 2015, the stakes will get higher, especially if we haven\'t yet stepped up to the plate. It\'s about progressive change: each of us stepping up, stretching ourselves, making a difference, one by one. Are you still watching from the sidelines? Where could you play a bigger game?\r\n\r\nWe feel a deep inner need to create personal and global change. We see and sense shifts in the world at large. Authenticity and individual self-expression are paramount. The meaning of \"Leadership\" is changing, in that we all need to lead now, in our own lives and for the higher good of all. We are being ask to follow our passions and empower ourselves and others as much as possible. Again: Each one of us is being asked to stretch ourselves, to step up and play a bigger game. Where are you being called to step up?\r\n\r\nIf you are scared to let go of the \"old you\" or the \"old way of life\", you are going to feel the intensity of these squares triplefold. As best as you can, keep your heart wide open and look to see what you want to create for yourself and this planet. Flexibility, Courage, Self-Empowerment: these are the watchwords! Remember: what you do for you, you do for everyone… and what you do for everyone, you do for you!\r\n\r\nIf you have any personal planets or an Ascendent/Rising Sign (or Career point) in Aries, Cancer, Libra, Scorpio, Capricorn or Aquarius, you are going to feel the dance of these two planest more strongly than others.\r\n\r\nFeel free to reach out for support on this journey of personal growth and evolution.\r\nLove and blessings,\r\nSonja\r\n\r\n<a href=\"mailto:info@AstrologerCoach.com\">sonja@AstrologerCoach.com</a>', 'The Uranus-Pluto Dance of Personal & Global Growth 2011-2017', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '3595-revision-v1', '', '', '2018-02-20 21:48:28', '2018-02-21 02:48:28', '', '3595', 'https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/3595-revision-v1/', '0', 'revision', '', '0');

Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 4:51pm EST, </strong>we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for almost 7 hours, <strong>until 11:42pm EST. </strong>Use this intuitive time to make adjustments and (as best as you can) find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. Make space both for going after your vision and for taking care of emotional or family issues.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 11:42pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <b>until Wednesday night/Thursday <strong>very early morning</strong>. </b>We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising.\r\n\r\nWe all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-) So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can.\r\n\r\nFun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (Feb. 27th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving </i><strong><b><i>Leo </i>all day </b></strong>(see Monday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday early morning</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Pluto aspect </em>becomes exact at 5:20am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Sunday evening on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday evening. </strong>We have an opportunity here, to bring all of our passion to what we value most -- to build something with spiritual or creative value.\r\n\r\nThis could be a powerful and passionate time in our romantic relationships. We have the opportunity to build something long-term and bring a good dose of faith to that process. Remember: this is an \"opportunity\" -- opportunities aren\'t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio or Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.

You may also want to plan Wednesday evening/night ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday evening</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Mars aspect </em>becomes exact at 6:56pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning on; it will remain strong until Friday morning. </strong>This aspect<i> </i>brings some juicy energy to our conversations. This is a chance to have some discussions that have been overdue.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, make it a productive discussion that serves you and others -- a win-win -- otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards. Also, watch out on the road for some crazy drivers… rushing might not necessarily get us there faster ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in </i><i>17-23 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Pisces, Sagittarius,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late evening</strong>, <em>an opportune Mercury/Pluto aspect </em>becomes exact at 11:42pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday morning. </strong>This aspect is an opportunity to deepen or transform areas of our lives that need it.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also an opportunity to do more research, so we can build something meaningful, all while learning about our authentic motivations. Remember: opportunities aren\'t on \"automatic\"... we have to go after them, realize them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point or personal planets in 18-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.

We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<b> </b>This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the</i> <em>Full Moon</em> (exact later this evening).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 6:22am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday evening on; it will remain strong until this Saturday evening. </strong>Harmony and goodwill reign under this influence. We experience expansive feelings in love and a feeling that anything is possible if we set our sights high enough.\r\n\r\nWe are more likely to be friendly, open, and optimistic -- it\'s a great time for winning people\'s trust, making it much easier to make social contacts. We believe in our relationships and we have faith that all is going to work out for the best.\r\n\r\nWe might feel an urge to connect to people from other countries or foreign cultures, just to have an adventure, or widen our horizons. Financially, there might be a tendency to spend more than usual, as we feel confident that an abundance of resources is available to us. The thing to watch out for is the feeling that we don\'t have to actually do anything to \"cash in\".\r\n\r\nThat said, there are plenty of opportunities to be explored (financial and otherwise), especially in connection with spiritual or creative endeavors, Businesses and partnerships that deal with intimacy or transformational work, with the film, fashion and music industry, with educational businesses or endeavors, or with the travel industry are also highlighted ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or <b>Cancer</b></i><i>? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\nAs mentioned above, the Moon’s entrance<i> </i>into<i> </i><b>Virgo</b> on <strong>Thursday very early morning started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon </i>that will be \"exact\" today</strong><b> (Thursday), at 7:51pm EST, </b><i>in 11 degrees of</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b>.\r\n\r\n<em>A Full Moon</em> is always an opposition between the Moon and the Sun. During these oppositions, we seek balance, alignment and integration around two perspectives that seem like polar opposites; very often we experience this (and achieve it) through our interactions with others... so relationships of all kinds are highlighted during Full Moons. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/discernment-from-the-heart/\">Feel free to also watch my video for more</a>\r\n\r\nToday, the Moon in <b>Virgo </b>opposes the Sun in <b>Pisces.</b> Virgo seeks physical &amp; practical wholeness; Pisces reminds us of an even greater wholeness — our divinity and interconnectedness with all of life.\r\n\r\nVirgo benefits from apprenticeship, whereas Pisces learns to trust inner guidance above all else -- when balanced, we are able to discern without judgment, serve without obligation, and love all of creation, including ourselves. Virgo analyzes, Pisces feels. We are invited to discern what\'s real, so we can make healthier choices.\r\n\r\nTo find the <i>balance between </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> and </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, ask yourself: Where do I need to be more selective? Where do I need to be more accepting? How can I tap into my inner knowingness and make practical choices? What if “choosing\" was already (and always) in alignment with divine timing?\r\n\r\nAll Full Moons bring awareness to a polarity, and this illuminates the shadow sides of both signs (in this case Virgo and Pisces).\r\n\r\nVirgo\'s shadow side is \"Judgement\", as this creates separation from others and a split within ourselves. It closes our heart. It limits our ability to learn. It keeps us stuck in duality, defending our position or attacking others. It\'s showing up when we label things as good or bad, rather than seeing them in terms of useful or unproductive.\r\n\r\nWhen we draw on the higher vibrations of Pisces we can more easily connect with the higher vibration of Virgo. Pisces\'s best qualities are compassion, intuitiveness, open-heartedness, inspirational creativity and imagination. At its best, Pisces understands that we are all souls in various states of development, doing the best we can.\r\n\r\nThe shadow side of Pisces is a lack of boundaries, ambiguity, escapism, helplessness or victimization; when we draw on the best qualities of Virgo we can move back into the higher vibration of Pisces again. Virgo\'s best qualities are the ability to choose wisely, and discern objectively what works and what doesn\'t.\r\n\r\nWhen both sides are integrated well, we have the acuity and sharpness of the mind, united with the wisdom of our heart and our intuitive guidance.\r\n\r\nWhat if I could find the synergy between my emotional, intuitive understanding and my rational, scientific understanding? Do I really have to choose between scientific facts and intuitive knowingness... What if I could have both? How might that be possible?\r\n\r\nFor the next two weeks, Virgo asks us to become aware of the clutter that is distracting us from our priorities; ask yourself: What in my current daily life is nourishing? And what might be toxic?\r\n\r\nVirgo\'s highest vibration is also about Service. To be of service, we must acquire discernment — not judgement, not criticism, not perfectionism, but the ability to focus objectively on what is helpful, and set aside the rest. In order to serve, we have to first realize that we have something to offer.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What if I didn\'t have to be perfect to be of service? What might I notice if I were 5% more mindful of my inner dialog? What if I brought 5% more compassion to myself? Even to my inner critic?\r\n\r\nThe last New Moon (on February 15th) was a Solar Eclipse, signaling the ending and beginning of a 19-year cycle. It shows us what remains to be healed, integrated, or released in order for us to take the next big step on our Soul\'s path.\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun, Neptune, Mercury, Venus and Chiron are all in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, drawing us inward, to be in silence and solitude as much as possible. We are to hear the quiet truth of our intuition and release what no longer serves our Soul\'s growth.\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon opposes Neptune, and the Sun conjuncts Neptune...</i> Ask yourself: If I\'m honest with myself, what would I notice that feels draining to me, rather than inspiring? What might happen if I surrendered my personal will 5% more to divine will? Could I be open to receiving guidance directly from my higher Self, my Soul-Self? If my feelings had words and could speak, what would they say? What would my dreams say? What message might my intuition have to give me?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>, conjunct Venus (exalted in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>):</i> Everything is made up of energy and therefore interconnected. If we can recognize that we all do the best we can, at any given time, and that on a spiritual level there are no mistakes, only experiences, we can learn about empathy -- and our brain will literally rewire itself towards compassion, rather than criticism.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What might be possible if I allowed my mind to be just 5% more relaxed? What if I stood in allowing, curiosity, and creative spaciousness? Am I currently using my imagination to inspire or scare myself? Do I have a tendency to go towards the worst case scenarios, or best case scenarios? What might \"love\" choose?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury/Venus alignment also conjuncts Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces --</i></b> this is an opportunity for healing: Chiron, the wounded healer, reminds us that anything can heal through the power of acceptance and love, and that healing happens by reclaiming and re-integrating those parts of ourselves that seem limited or \"imperfect\".\r\n\r\nCheck to see: do I feel unloved? Unworthy? Simply not good enough? And if I have those feelings, could I allow them simply to be here, just for right now? Could I be open to the possibility that these feelings are coming up right now, to be acknowledged and released?\r\n\r\nCheck to see if you are maybe revisiting themes from late January and from April of last year, when Venus was conjunct Chiron in Pisces. Ask yourself: What was present in my relationships with others back then? Or my relationship with the divine? Did I have any realizations? Any understanding of what needs to heal further?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury/Venus/Chiron alignment trines Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio </i></b><i>(stationing at the time of the FM, therefore exalted).</i> This supports a connection to our emotional/spiritual body.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How might a deeper, authentic, emotional approach support my connection to my divinity and my related healing process? What new perspectives or higher truths might I find?\r\n\r\nIf I looked at my human limitations through the lens of the human-soul alliance, is it at least possible that this would deepen my relationships with others?\r\n\r\nWe will also go into Jupiter\'s movement in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the Jupiter Station and Retrograde phase is going to impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up to our own birth charts.\r\n\r\nThe next Forum is next week <b>Friday</b>, <b>March 2nd, 2018 at </b>12pm<b> </b>PST/<b> 3pm EST</b>/8pm GMT (London-time). To join for FREE, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/JLFckh\">become a Star or SuperStar Member</a> on my site. For more info about the Forums, or to register as at the regular fee, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">click here</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> squares the Mercury/Venus/Chiron alignment in </i><b><i>Pisces.</i></b> Squares always ask us to stretch and grow -- this particular square, with <i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> vs. Mercury/Venus in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>is all about fast vs. slow, extroverted vs. introverted, physical vs. emotional inspiration, impulsive vs. thoughtful, meditative vs. direct, straightforward vs. ambiguous or long-winded. Phew.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What would it look like if I could walk my talk 5% more, instead of getting caught up in idealized phantasies or dreams? What if I looked within before leaping into action? What daily practice could support my looking before I leap? What if my truths applied to me only? How might this contribute to my inner peace?\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon invites us to \"be love\" in thought and action. It also reminds us that our mindfulness and open heart make a difference, not only in our own life, but in the world. Before taking action (or if you are simply feeling ambitious about something) ask yourself: What would love do? What would my heart say, if it had words and could speak?\r\n\r\nRather than pushing, over-thinking or giving up, I invite you to conduct small, simple experiments and have faith in universal support…\r\n\r\n<b>For the next two weeks</b>, ask yourself: Where is the balance point of intellect and intuition? Striving and surrender? What if I trusted 5% more in the \"perfect\" outcome?\r\n\r\n<i>To sum it all up:</i> This Full Moon reminds us that, no matter what chaos, intensity and craziness might be going on outside of us, we have only to look inside to find our truth, to find peace. It’s in our hearts that we\'ll find what matters -- and what we can believe in whole-heartedly. Peace comes from within, from each one of us... We are what we choose to be in every “moment of now”... so choose wisely!\r\n\r\nAs best as you can therefore, simply observe like a scientist, from a place of neutrality and curiosity. Notice what serves you in the moment.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/discernment-from-the-heart/\">To learn more about all aspects connected to this month\'s Full Moon, please click here to watch my video</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point, or personal planets in 9-13 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, this month\'s Full Moon will affect you more; the same is true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (March 2nd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in</em><em> <i>detail-oriented, practical</i></em><em><i> </i></em><strong><em>Virgo</em> all day </strong>(see Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Mercury/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 8:05am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on; it will remain strong until this Saturday night. </strong>During this aspect, we are more optimistic. We see the bigger picture, communicate more positively and readily inspire others.\r\n\r\nWe are tolerant of other perspectives and ideas, naturally avoid narrow-minded thinking, and feel at ease reconnecting with people from all walks of life. We might be drawn to exploring foreign languages, cultures, spiritual practices and countries. What learning would expand your horizons?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or <b>Cancer</b></i><i>? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 6:50pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for 8.5 hours, <strong>until 3:20am EST (Saturday very early morning) .</strong> Use this intuitive time to make clear choices when it comes to relating to others.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday evening/night ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 3rd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><em><i>detail-oriented, practical </i></em><strong><em>Virgo</em> </strong>and<strong> <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> until 3:20am EST </strong>(see Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 3:20am EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into harmony-loving, balance-seeking </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>, where<i> </i>it will journey <strong>until Monday morning (March 5th)</strong><b>.</b> The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Saturday night,</strong> the <em>Jupiter Station intensifies in 23 degrees of <strong>Scorpio, </strong></em>as it is preparing to come to a halt next week Thursday. This station will last <b>until March 20th</b>.\r\n\r\nJupiter represents our desire to seek insight through deep knowledge. Some of this planet\'s keywords: morality; gratitude; hope; honor; the law. Jupiter is the planet of possibility, optimism, wisdom, understanding and growth (including mental and spiritual growth). Jupiter is also associated with our <i>sense of humor</i>, generosity, tolerance, goodwill, and mercy (<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/feb-19-25/\">see last week\'s blog entry for more details</a>).\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 21-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Taurus, Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> will be more affected by this station. This is also true for those of us with their Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 4th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking </i><strong><b><i>Libra</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Saturday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Sun/Neptune alignment in almost 14 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 8:54am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday morning on; it will remain strong until next week Wednesday morning (March 7th) . </strong>This alignment asks that we slow down and go within, allow for all energies to move through us -- being present and compassionate are the higher vibrations of this alignment -- we are more aware than ever that all things are interconnected.\r\n\r\nFeeling things -- and allowing everyone (ourselves included) to \"have their feelings\" -- is highly recommended. When we start to resist the flow of life, the flow of feeling, we will create fear and suffering. The remedy is to open our hearts and let love flow through us.\r\n\r\nWhen we get quiet and allow ourselves to be still for a moment, we sense our interconnectedness with all living things, our spiritual roots, the sacredness of all.\r\n\r\nIf, on the other hand, we are unable to connect to our divine essence, if we focus only on what\'s outside of us, we will feel separate -- and this illusion of separateness might cause us to look for an escape from our harsh \"realities\".\r\n\r\nWhat might be possible if we simply let go of fear-based thinking altogether for a moment, and instead simply connected to our wise heart, trusting the perfection of each \"now\" moment? What if we were to let go of all expectations and open our heart to the miracle of life?\r\n\r\nThis is about surrendering to the moment of now, to love, to our heart -- not about giving up -- rather, allowing \"what is\" to be ok, to see the perfection of \"right now\".\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 11-17 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b><i>(The Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early afternoon</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Venus alignment in almost 26 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 1:05pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday on; it will remain strong until next week, Thursday evening (March 8th). </strong>This is an excellent time to share about love, compassion, animals, spiritual endeavors, some ideal, music, dreams, meditation techniques -- or anything we feel intuitive connected to -- and also about any teaching endeavors connected to those areas.\r\n\r\nThis alignment supports communicating from a compassionate, intuitive heart -- and in fact, it becomes essential to connect to people with whom we feel a strong affinity. We wish to form those connections in a spirit of harmony, sensitivity and equality. In fact, we generally tend to have a strong sense of fairness at this time, and want to be around people who share these values.\r\n\r\nWe also thoroughly enjoy the written and spoken word -- literature, wordplay, puns, moving conversations -- especially when the words are imaginative and speak of something romantic, inspiring, spiritual or creative.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Virgo, Gemini, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus  </i></b><i>(Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late afternoon</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Chiron alignment in almost 27.5 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 4:25pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday night on; it will remain strong until next week, Tuesday morning (March 7th). </strong>This it allows us to communicate our flaws and insecurities, and thereby begin to heal them.\r\n\r\nBringing compassion and understanding to our past wounds can feel very empowering and healing; doing the same for others is going to feel really good. Remember: what you can do for yourself, you can do for others more easily, and vice versa.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, whatever you do <i>or</i> don\'t communicate: cut yourself a little slack. Being human means making mistakes from time to time; there is no shame in that -- we always learn the most from our mistakes -- mistakes are our gold.\r\n\r\nDouble-check: does avoiding or judging my past mistakes actually serve me? Or anyone else? Could I be open to the possibility that all \"mistakes\" -- past, present and future -- exist to serve my evolution?  If that were true: what would need reevaluating?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 24-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini </i></b><i>(since Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early evening</strong>, <em>a Venus/Chiron alignment in almost 27.5 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 5:59pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday morning on; it will remain strong until next week, Wednesday morning (March 7th). </strong>This alignment reminds us of wounds around relationships or our sense of self-worth. Social situations might feel awkward.\r\n\r\nWe may experience emotional triggers, so as best as you can, bring compassion and understanding to yourself, to others, and to those past experiences that wounded you. We need to learn to love ourselves, and heal deep fears of being \"not good enough\". Healing happens much faster when we are open to forgiving and embracing ourselves exactly as we are (and are not).\r\n\r\nFor those of you who want to have a better understanding of your personal healing journey, feel free to get the recording of my recent <b>Chiron-workshop: \"Healing with Astrology\" . </b>Join any of my memberships and receive this recording for FREE (value $30):<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\">Click here for more info</a>.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 24-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

During these oppositions, we seek balance, alignment and integration around two perspectives that seem like polar opposites; very often we experience this (and achieve it) through our interactions with others... so relationships of all kinds are highlighted during Full Moons. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/discernment-from-the-heart/\">Feel free to also watch my video for more:</a> https://youtu.be/omEJwbuQZwA\r\n\r\nToday, the Moon in <b>Virgo </b>opposes the Sun in <b>Pisces.</b> Virgo seeks personal wholeness; Pisces reminds us of an even greater wholeness — our divinity and interconnectedness with all of life.\r\n\r\nVirgo benefits from apprenticeship, whereas Pisces learns to trust inner guidance above all else -- when balanced, we are able to discern without judgment, serve without obligation, and love all of creation, including ourselves. Virgo analyzes, Pisces feels. We are invited to discern what\'s real, so we can make healthier choices.\r\n\r\nTo find the <i>balance between </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> and </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, ask yourself: Where do I need to be more selective? Where do I need to be more accepting? How can I tap into my inner knowingness and make practical choices? What if “choosing\" was already (and always) in alignment with divine timing?\r\n\r\nAll Full Moons bring awareness to a polarity, and this illuminates the shadow sides of both signs (in this case Virgo and Pisces).\r\n\r\nVirgo\'s shadow side is \"Judgement\", as this creates separation from others and a split within ourselves. It closes our heart. It limits our ability to learn. It keeps us stuck in duality, defending our position or attacking others. It\'s showing up when we label things as good or bad, rather than seeing them in terms of useful or unproductive.\r\n\r\nWhen we draw on the higher vibrations of Pisces we can more easily connect with the higher vibration of Virgo. Pisces\'s best qualities are compassion, intuitiveness, open-heartedness, inspirational creativity and imagination. At its best, Pisces understands that we are all souls in various states of development, doing the best we can.\r\n\r\nThe shadow side of Pisces is a lack of boundaries, ambiguity, escapism, helplessness or victimization; when we draw on the best qualities of Virgo we can move back into the higher vibration of Pisces again. Virgo\'s best qualities are the ability to choose wisely, and discern objectively what works and what doesn\'t.\r\n\r\nWhen both sides are integrated well, we have the acuity and sharpness of the mind, united with the wisdom of our heart and our intuitive guidance.\r\n\r\nWhat if I could find the synergy between my emotional, intuitive understanding and my rational, scientific understanding? Do I really have to choose between scientific facts and intuitive knowingness... What if I could have both? How might that be possible?\r\n\r\nFor the next two weeks, Virgo asks us to become aware of the clutter that is distracting us from our priorities; ask yourself: What in my current daily life is nourishing? And what might be toxic?\r\n\r\nVirgo\'s highest vibration is also about Service. To be of service, we must acquire discernment — not judgement, not criticism, not perfectionism, but the ability to focus objectively on what is helpful, and set aside the rest. In order to serve, we have to first realize that we have something to offer.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What if I didn\'t have to be perfect to be of service? What might I notice if I were 5% more mindful of my inner dialog? What if I brought 5% more compassion to myself? Even to my inner critic?\r\n\r\nThe last New Moon (on February 15th) was a Solar Eclipse, signaling the ending and beginning of a 19-year cycle. It shows us what remains to be healed, integrated, or released in order for us to take the next big step on our Soul\'s path.\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun, Neptune, Mercury, Venus and Chiron are all in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, drawing us inward, to be in silence and solitude as much as possible. We are to hear the quiet truth of our intuition and release what no longer serves our Soul\'s growth.\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon opposes Neptune, and the Sun conjuncts Neptune...</i> Ask yourself: If I\'m honest with myself, what would I notice that feels draining to me, rather than inspiring? What might happen if I surrendered my personal will 5% more to divine will? Could I be open to receiving guidance directly from my higher Self, my Soul-Self? If my feelings had words and could speak, what would they say? What would my dreams say? What message might my intuition have to give me?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>, conjunct Venus (exalted in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>):</i> Everything is made up of energy and therefore interconnected. If we can recognize that we all do the best we can, at any given time, and that on a spiritual level there are no mistakes, only experiences, we can learn about empathy -- and our brain will literally rewire itself towards compassion, rather than criticism.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What might be possible if I allowed my mind to be just 5% more relaxed? What if I stood in allowing, curiosity, and creative spaciousness? Am I currently using my imagination to inspire or scare myself? Do I have a tendency to go towards the worst case scenarios, or best case scenarios? What might \"love\" choose?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury/Venus alignment also conjuncts Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces --</i></b> this is an opportunity for healing: Chiron, the wounded healer, reminds us that anything can heal through the power of acceptance and love, and that healing happens by reclaiming and re-integrating those parts of ourselves that seem limited or \"imperfect\".\r\n\r\nCheck to see: do I feel unloved? Unworthy? Simply not good enough? And if I have those feelings, could I allow them simply to be here, just for right now? Could I be open to the possibility that these feelings are coming up right now, to be acknowledged and released?\r\n\r\nCheck to see if you are maybe revisiting themes from late January and from April of last year, when Venus was conjunct Chiron in Pisces. Ask yourself: What was present in my relationships with others back then? Or my relationship with the divine? Did I have any realizations? Any understanding of what needs to heal further?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury/Venus/Chiron alignment trines Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio </i></b><i>(stationing at the time of the FM, therefore exalted).</i> This supports a connection to our emotional/spiritual body.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How might a deeper, authentic, emotional approach support my connection to my divinity and my related healing process? What new perspectives or higher truths might I find?\r\n\r\nIf I looked at my human limitations through the lens of the human-soul alliance, is it at least possible that this would deepen my relationships with others?\r\n\r\nWe will also go into Jupiter\'s movement in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the Jupiter Station and Retrograde phase is going to impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up to our own birth charts.\r\n\r\nThe next Forum is next week <b>Friday</b>, <b>March 2nd, 2018 at </b>12pm<b> </b>PST/<b> 3pm EST</b>/8pm GMT (London-time). To join for FREE, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/JLFckh\">become a Star or SuperStar Member</a> on my site: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/JLFckh\">https://goo.gl/JLFckh</a> For more info about the Forums, or to register as at the regular fee, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">click here</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">https://goo.gl/wrs4H3</a>.\r\n\r\n<i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> squares the Mercury/Venus/Chiron alignment in </i><b><i>Pisces.</i></b> Squares always ask us to stretch and grow -- this particular square, with <i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> vs. Mercury/Venus in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>is all about fast vs. slow, extroverted vs. introverted, physical vs. emotional inspiration, impulsive vs. thoughtful, meditative vs. direct, straightforward vs. ambiguous or long-winded. Phew.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What would it look like if I could walk my talk 5% more, instead of getting caught up in idealized phantasies or dreams? What if I looked within before leaping into action? What daily practice could support my looking before I leap? What if my truths applied to me only? How might this contribute to my inner peace?\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon invites us to \"be love\" in thought and action. It also reminds us that our mindfulness and open heart make a difference, not only in our own life, but in the world. Before taking action (or if you are simply feeling ambitious about something) ask yourself: What would love do? What would my heart say, if it had words and could speak?\r\n\r\nRather than pushing, over-thinking or giving up, I invite you to conduct small, simple experiments and have faith in universal support…\r\n\r\n<b>For the next two weeks</b>, ask yourself: Where is the balance point of intellect and intuition? Striving and surrender? What if I trusted 5% more in the \"perfect\" outcome?\r\n\r\n<i>To sum it all up:</i> This Full Moon reminds us that, no matter what chaos, intensity and craziness might be going on outside of us, we have only to look inside to find our truth, to find peace. It’s in our hearts that we\'ll find what matters -- and what we can believe in whole-heartedly. Peace comes from within, from each one of us... We are what we choose to be in every “moment of now”... so choose wisely!\r\n\r\n<b>For the next two weeks,</b> as best as you can therefore, simply observe like a scientist, from a place of neutrality and curiosity. Notice what serves you in the moment.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/discernment-from-the-heart/\">To learn more about additional aspects connected to this month\'s Full Moon, please click here to watch my video:</a> https://youtu.be/omEJwbuQZwA\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point, or personal planets in 9-13 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>?

During these oppositions, we seek balance, alignment and integration around two perspectives that seem like polar opposites; very often we experience this (and achieve it) through our interactions with others... so relationships of all kinds are highlighted during Full Moons. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/discernment-from-the-heart/\">Feel free to also watch my video for more:</a> https://youtu.be/omEJwbuQZwA\r\n\r\nToday, the Moon in <b>Virgo </b>opposes the Sun in <b>Pisces.</b> Virgo seeks personal wholeness; Pisces reminds us of an even greater wholeness — our divinity and interconnectedness with all of life.\r\n\r\nVirgo benefits from apprenticeship, whereas Pisces learns to trust inner guidance above all else -- when balanced, we are able to discern without judgment, serve without obligation, and love all of creation, including ourselves. Virgo analyzes, Pisces feels. We are invited to discern what\'s real, so we can make healthier choices.\r\n\r\nTo find the <i>balance between </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> and </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, ask yourself: Where do I need to be more selective? Where do I need to be more accepting? How can I tap into my inner knowingness and make practical choices? What if “choosing\" was already (and always) in alignment with divine timing?\r\n\r\nAll Full Moons bring awareness to a polarity, and this illuminates the shadow sides of both signs (in this case Virgo and Pisces).\r\n\r\nVirgo\'s shadow side is \"Judgement\", as this creates separation from others and a split within ourselves. It closes our heart. It limits our ability to learn. It keeps us stuck in duality, defending our position or attacking others. It\'s showing up when we label things as good or bad, rather than seeing them in terms of useful or unproductive.\r\n\r\nWhen we draw on the higher vibrations of Pisces we can more easily connect with the higher vibration of Virgo. Pisces\'s best qualities are compassion, intuitiveness, open-heartedness, inspirational creativity and imagination. At its best, Pisces understands that we are all souls in various states of development, doing the best we can.\r\n\r\nThe shadow side of Pisces is a lack of boundaries, ambiguity, escapism, helplessness or victimization; when we draw on the best qualities of Virgo we can move back into the higher vibration of Pisces again. Virgo\'s best qualities are the ability to choose wisely, and discern objectively what works and what doesn\'t.\r\n\r\nWhen both sides are integrated well, we have the acuity and sharpness of the mind, united with the wisdom of our heart and our intuitive guidance.\r\n\r\nWhat if I could find the synergy between my emotional, intuitive understanding and my rational, scientific understanding? Do I really have to choose between scientific facts and intuitive knowingness... What if I could have both? How might that be possible?\r\n\r\nFor the next two weeks, Virgo asks us to become aware of the clutter that is distracting us from our priorities; ask yourself: What in my current daily life is nourishing? And what might be toxic?\r\n\r\nVirgo\'s highest vibration is also about Service. To be of service, we must acquire discernment — not judgement, not criticism, not perfectionism, but the ability to focus objectively on what is helpful, and set aside the rest. In order to serve, we have to first realize that we have something to offer.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What if I didn\'t have to be perfect to be of service? What might I notice if I were 5% more mindful of my inner dialog? What if I brought 5% more compassion to myself? Even to my inner critic?\r\n\r\nThe last New Moon (on February 15th) was a Solar Eclipse, signaling the ending and beginning of a 19-year cycle. It shows us what remains to be healed, integrated, or released in order for us to take the next big step on our Soul\'s path.\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun, Neptune, Mercury, Venus and Chiron are all in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, drawing us inward, to be in silence and solitude as much as possible. We are to hear the quiet truth of our intuition and release what no longer serves our Soul\'s growth.\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon opposes Neptune, and the Sun conjuncts Neptune...</i> Ask yourself: If I\'m honest with myself, what would I notice that feels draining to me, rather than inspiring? What might happen if I surrendered my personal will 5% more to divine will? Could I be open to receiving guidance directly from my higher Self, my Soul-Self? If my feelings had words and could speak, what would they say? What would my dreams say? What message might my intuition have to give me?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>, conjunct Venus (exalted in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>):</i> Everything is made up of energy and therefore interconnected. If we can recognize that we all do the best we can, at any given time, and that on a spiritual level there are no mistakes, only experiences, we can learn about empathy -- and our brain will literally rewire itself towards compassion, rather than criticism.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What might be possible if I allowed my mind to be just 5% more relaxed? What if I stood in allowing, curiosity, and creative spaciousness? Am I currently using my imagination to inspire or scare myself? Do I have a tendency to go towards the worst case scenarios, or best case scenarios? What might \"love\" choose?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury/Venus alignment also conjuncts Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces --</i></b> this is an opportunity for healing: Chiron, the wounded healer, reminds us that anything can heal through the power of acceptance and love, and that healing happens by reclaiming and re-integrating those parts of ourselves that seem limited or \"imperfect\".\r\n\r\nCheck to see: do I feel unloved? Unworthy? Simply not good enough? And if I have those feelings, could I allow them simply to be here, just for right now? Could I be open to the possibility that these feelings are coming up right now, to be acknowledged and released?\r\n\r\nCheck to see if you are maybe revisiting themes from late January and from April of last year, when Venus was conjunct Chiron in Pisces. Ask yourself: What was present in my relationships with others back then? Or my relationship with the divine? Did I have any realizations? Any understanding of what needs to heal further?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury/Venus/Chiron alignment trines Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio </i></b><i>(stationing at the time of the FM, therefore exalted).</i> This supports a connection to our emotional/spiritual body.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How might a deeper, authentic, emotional approach support my connection to my divinity and my related healing process? What new perspectives or higher truths might I find?\r\n\r\nIf I looked at my human limitations through the lens of the human-soul alliance, is it at least possible that this would deepen my relationships with others?\r\n\r\nWe will also go into Jupiter\'s movement in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the Jupiter Station and Retrograde phase is going to impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up to our own birth charts.\r\n\r\nThe next Forum is next week <b>Friday</b>, <b>March 2nd, 2018 at </b>12pm<b> </b>PST/<b> 3pm EST</b>/8pm GMT (London-time). To join for FREE, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/JLFckh\">become a Star or SuperStar Member</a> on my site: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/JLFckh\">https://goo.gl/JLFckh</a> For more info about the Forums, or to register as at the regular fee, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">click here</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">https://goo.gl/wrs4H3</a>.\r\n\r\n<i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> squares the Mercury/Venus/Chiron alignment in </i><b><i>Pisces.</i></b> Squares always ask us to stretch and grow -- this particular square, with <i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> vs. Mercury/Venus in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>is all about fast vs. slow, extroverted vs. introverted, physical vs. emotional inspiration, impulsive vs. thoughtful, meditative vs. direct, straightforward vs. ambiguous or long-winded. Phew.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What would it look like if I could walk my talk 5% more, instead of getting caught up in idealized phantasies or dreams? What if I looked within before leaping into action? What daily practice could support my looking before I leap? What if my truths applied to me only? How might this contribute to my inner peace?\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon invites us to \"be love\" in thought and action. It also reminds us that our mindfulness and open heart make a difference, not only in our own life, but in the world. Before taking action (or if you are simply feeling ambitious about something) ask yourself: What would love do? What would my heart say, if it had words and could speak?\r\n\r\nRather than pushing, over-thinking or giving up, I invite you to conduct small, simple experiments and have faith in universal support…\r\n\r\n<b>For the next two weeks</b>, ask yourself: Where is the balance point of intellect and intuition? Striving and surrender? What if I trusted 5% more in the \"perfect\" outcome?\r\n\r\n<i>To sum it all up:</i> This Full Moon reminds us that, no matter what chaos, intensity and craziness might be going on outside of us, we have only to look inside to find our truth, to find peace. It’s in our hearts that we\'ll find what matters -- and what we can believe in whole-heartedly. Peace comes from within, from each one of us... We are what we choose to be in every “moment of now”... so choose wisely!\r\n\r\nAs best as you can therefore, simply observe like a scientist, from a place of neutrality and curiosity. Notice what serves you in the moment.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/discernment-from-the-heart/\">To learn more about additional aspects connected to this month\'s Full Moon, please click here to watch my video:</a> https://youtu.be/omEJwbuQZwA\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point, or personal planets in 9-13 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>?

During these oppositions, we seek balance, alignment and integration around two perspectives that seem like polar opposites; very often we experience this (and achieve it) through our interactions with others... so relationships of all kinds are highlighted during Full Moons. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/discernment-from-the-heart/\">Feel free to also watch my video for more:</a> https://youtu.be/omEJwbuQZwA\r\n\r\nToday, the Moon in <b>Virgo </b>opposes the Sun in <b>Pisces.</b> Virgo seeks personal wholeness; Pisces reminds us of an even greater wholeness — our divinity and interconnectedness with all of life.\r\n\r\nVirgo benefits from apprenticeship, whereas Pisces learns to trust inner guidance above all else -- when balanced, we are able to discern without judgment, serve without obligation, and love all of creation, including ourselves. Virgo analyzes, Pisces feels. We are invited to discern what\'s real, so we can make healthier choices.\r\n\r\nTo find the <i>balance between </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> and </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, ask yourself: Where do I need to be more selective? Where do I need to be more accepting? How can I tap into my inner knowingness and make practical choices? What if “choosing\" was already (and always) in alignment with divine timing?\r\n\r\nAll Full Moons bring awareness to a polarity, and this illuminates the shadow sides of both signs (in this case Virgo and Pisces).\r\n\r\nVirgo\'s shadow side is \"Judgement\", as this creates separation from others and a split within ourselves. It closes our heart. It limits our ability to learn. It keeps us stuck in duality, defending our position or attacking others. It\'s showing up when we label things as good or bad, rather than seeing them in terms of useful or unproductive.\r\n\r\nWhen we draw on the higher vibrations of Pisces we can more easily connect with the higher vibration of Virgo. Pisces\'s best qualities are compassion, intuitiveness, open-heartedness, inspirational creativity and imagination. At its best, Pisces understands that we are all souls in various states of development, doing the best we can.\r\n\r\nThe shadow side of Pisces is a lack of boundaries, ambiguity, escapism, helplessness or victimization; when we draw on the best qualities of Virgo we can move back into the higher vibration of Pisces again. Virgo\'s best qualities are the ability to choose wisely, and discern objectively what works and what doesn\'t.\r\n\r\nWhen both sides are integrated well, we have the acuity and sharpness of the mind, united with the wisdom of our heart and our intuitive guidance.\r\n\r\nWhat if I could find the synergy between my emotional, intuitive understanding and my rational, scientific understanding? Do I really have to choose between scientific facts and intuitive knowingness... What if I could have both? How might that be possible?\r\n\r\nFor the next two weeks, Virgo asks us to become aware of the clutter that is distracting us from our priorities; ask yourself: What in my current daily life is nourishing? And what might be toxic?\r\n\r\nVirgo\'s highest vibration is also about Service. To be of service, we must acquire discernment — not judgement, not criticism, not perfectionism, but the ability to focus objectively on what is helpful, and set aside the rest. In order to serve, we have to first realize that we have something to offer.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What if I didn\'t have to be perfect to be of service? What might I notice if I were 5% more mindful of my inner dialog? What if I brought 5% more compassion to myself? Even to my inner critic?\r\n\r\nThe last New Moon (on February 15th) was a Solar Eclipse, signaling the ending and beginning of a 19-year cycle. It shows us what remains to be healed, integrated, or released in order for us to take the next big step on our Soul\'s path.\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun, Neptune, Mercury, Venus and Chiron are all in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, drawing us inward, to be in silence and solitude as much as possible. We are to hear the quiet truth of our intuition and release what no longer serves our Soul\'s growth.\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon opposes Neptune, and the Sun conjuncts Neptune...</i> Ask yourself: If I\'m honest with myself, what would I notice that feels draining to me, rather than inspiring? What might happen if I surrendered my personal will 5% more to divine will? Could I be open to receiving guidance directly from my higher Self, my Soul-Self? If my feelings had words and could speak, what would they say? What would my dreams say? What message might my intuition have to give me?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>, conjunct Venus (exalted in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>):</i> Everything is made up of energy and therefore interconnected. If we can recognize that we all do the best we can, at any given time, and that on a spiritual level there are no mistakes, only experiences, we can learn about empathy -- and our brain will literally rewire itself towards compassion, rather than criticism.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What might be possible if I allowed my mind to be just 5% more relaxed? What if I stood in allowing, curiosity, and creative spaciousness? Am I currently using my imagination to inspire or scare myself? Do I have a tendency to go towards the worst case scenarios, or best case scenarios? What might \"love\" choose?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury/Venus alignment also conjuncts Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces --</i></b> this is an opportunity for healing: Chiron, the wounded healer, reminds us that anything can heal through the power of acceptance and love, and that healing happens by reclaiming and re-integrating those parts of ourselves that seem limited or \"imperfect\".\r\n\r\nCheck to see: do I feel unloved? Unworthy? Simply not good enough? And if I have those feelings, could I allow them simply to be here, just for right now? Could I be open to the possibility that these feelings are coming up right now, to be acknowledged and released?\r\n\r\nCheck to see if you are maybe revisiting themes from late January and from April of last year, when Venus was conjunct Chiron in Pisces. Ask yourself: What was present in my relationships with others back then? Or my relationship with the divine? Did I have any realizations? Any understanding of what needs to heal further?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury/Venus/Chiron alignment trines Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio </i></b><i>(stationing at the time of the FM, therefore exalted).</i> This supports a connection to our emotional/spiritual body.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How might a deeper, authentic, emotional approach support my connection to my divinity and my related healing process? What new perspectives or higher truths might I find?\r\n\r\nIf I looked at my human limitations through the lens of the human-soul alliance, is it at least possible that this would deepen my relationships with others?\r\n\r\nWe will also go into Jupiter\'s movement in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the Jupiter Station and Retrograde phase is going to impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up to our own birth charts.\r\n\r\nThe next Forum is next week <b>Friday</b>, <b>March 2nd, 2018 at </b>12pm<b> </b>PST/<b> 3pm EST</b>/8pm GMT (London-time). To join for FREE, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/JLFckh\">become a Star or SuperStar Member</a> on my site: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/JLFckh\">https://goo.gl/JLFckh</a> For more info about the Forums, or to register as at the regular fee, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">click here</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">https://goo.gl/wrs4H3</a>.\r\n\r\n<i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> squares the Mercury/Venus/Chiron alignment in </i><b><i>Pisces.</i></b> Squares always ask us to stretch and grow -- this particular square, with <i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> vs. Mercury/Venus in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>is all about fast vs. slow, extroverted vs. introverted, physical vs. emotional inspiration, impulsive vs. thoughtful, meditative vs. direct, straightforward vs. ambiguous or long-winded. Phew.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What would it look like if I could walk my talk 5% more, instead of getting caught up in idealized phantasies or dreams? What if I looked within before leaping into action? What daily practice could support my looking before I leap? What if my truths applied to me only? How might this contribute to my inner peace?\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon invites us to \"be love\" in thought and action. It also reminds us that our mindfulness and open heart make a difference, not only in our own life, but in the world. Before taking action (or if you are simply feeling ambitious about something) ask yourself: What would love do? What would my heart say, if it had words and could speak?\r\n\r\nRather than pushing, over-thinking or giving up, I invite you to conduct small, simple experiments and have faith in universal support…\r\n\r\n<b>For the next two weeks</b>, ask yourself: Where is the balance point of intellect and intuition? Striving and surrender? What if I trusted 5% more in the \"perfect\" outcome?\r\n\r\n<i>To sum it all up:</i> This Full Moon reminds us that, no matter what chaos, intensity and craziness might be going on outside of us, we have only to look inside to find our truth, to find peace. It’s in our hearts that we\'ll find what matters -- and what we can believe in whole-heartedly. Peace comes from within, from each one of us... We are what we choose to be in every “moment of now”... so choose wisely!\r\n\r\nAs best as you can therefore, simply observe like a scientist, from a place of neutrality and curiosity. Notice what serves you in the moment.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/discernment-from-the-heart/\">To learn more about additional aspects connected to this month\'s Full Moon, please click here to watch my video:</a> https://youtu.be/omEJwbuQZwA\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point, or personal planets in 9-13 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>?

So much water, so many feelings coming up, floods everywhere, whether that is literally or metaphorically, flushing out our systems. All I wanted to do is go within and baby myself...\r\n\r\n<b>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement: </b>\r\nLast chance to join my <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-live/\">next Forecasting Forum, </a>live this Friday at 3pm EST (more details at the very bottom of the blog)… and only one more week before my Weekly Forecasts and my Full Moon videos are only available via my new online portal… For the price of a Cappuccino, you can continue receiving all of the wonderful forecasts uninterrupted!

Self-Care is key ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 4:51pm EST, </strong>we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for almost 7 hours, <strong>until 11:42pm EST. </strong>Use this intuitive time to make adjustments and (as best as you can) find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. Make space both for going after your vision and for taking care of emotional or family issues.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday evening ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon squares Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 11:42pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <b>until Wednesday night/Thursday <strong>very early morning</strong>. </b>We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising.\r\n\r\nWe all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-) So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can.\r\n\r\nFun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (Feb. 27th): </strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving </i></span><strong><b><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><i>Leo </i>all day</span> </b></strong>(see Monday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday early morning</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Pluto aspect </em>becomes exact at 5:20am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Sunday evening on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday evening. </strong>We have an opportunity here, to bring all of our passion to what we value most -- to build something with spiritual or creative value.\r\n\r\nThis could be a powerful and passionate time in our romantic relationships. We have the opportunity to build something long-term and bring a good dose of faith to that process. Remember: this is an \"opportunity\" -- opportunities aren\'t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio or Taurus</i></b><i>?

During these oppositions, we seek balance, alignment and integration around two perspectives that seem like polar opposites; very often we experience this (and achieve it) through our interactions with others... so relationships of all kinds are highlighted during Full Moons. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/discernment-from-the-heart/\">Feel free to also watch my video for more:</a> https://youtu.be/omEJwbuQZwA\r\n\r\nToday, the Moon in <b>Virgo </b>opposes the Sun in <b>Pisces.</b> Virgo seeks personal wholeness; Pisces reminds us of an even greater wholeness — our divinity and interconnectedness with all of life.\r\n\r\nVirgo benefits from apprenticeship, whereas Pisces learns to trust inner guidance above all else -- when balanced, we are able to discern without judgment, serve without obligation, and love all of creation, including ourselves. Virgo analyzes, Pisces feels. We are invited to discern what\'s real, so we can make healthier choices.\r\n\r\nTo find the <i>balance between </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> and </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, ask yourself: Where do I need to be more selective? Where do I need to be more accepting? How can I tap into my inner knowingness and make practical choices? What if “choosing\" was already (and always) in alignment with divine timing?\r\n\r\nAll Full Moons bring awareness to a polarity, and this illuminates the shadow sides of both signs (in this case Virgo and Pisces).\r\n\r\nVirgo\'s shadow side is \"Judgement\", as this creates separation from others and a split within ourselves. It closes our heart. It limits our ability to learn. It keeps us stuck in duality, defending our position or attacking others. It\'s showing up when we label things as good or bad, rather than seeing them in terms of useful or unproductive.\r\n\r\nWhen we draw on the higher vibrations of Pisces we can more easily connect with the higher vibration of Virgo. Pisces\'s best qualities are compassion, intuitiveness, open-heartedness, inspirational creativity and imagination. At its best, Pisces understands that we are all souls in various states of development, doing the best we can.\r\n\r\nThe shadow side of Pisces is a lack of boundaries, ambiguity, escapism, helplessness or victimization; when we draw on the best qualities of Virgo we can move back into the higher vibration of Pisces again. Virgo\'s best qualities are the ability to choose wisely, and discern objectively what works and what doesn\'t.\r\n\r\nWhen both sides are integrated well, we have the acuity and sharpness of the mind, united with the wisdom of our heart and our intuitive guidance.\r\n\r\nWhat if I could find the synergy between my emotional, intuitive understanding and my rational, scientific understanding? Do I really have to choose between scientific facts and intuitive knowingness... What if I could have both? How might that be possible?\r\n\r\nFor the next two weeks, Virgo asks us to become aware of the clutter that is distracting us from our priorities; ask yourself: What in my current daily life is nourishing? And what might be toxic?\r\n\r\nVirgo\'s highest vibration is also about Service. To be of service, we must acquire discernment — not judgement, not criticism, not perfectionism, but the ability to focus objectively on what is helpful, and set aside the rest. In order to serve, we have to first realize that we have something to offer.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What if I didn\'t have to be perfect to be of service? What might I notice if I were 5% more mindful of my inner dialog? What if I brought 5% more compassion to myself? Even to my inner critic?\r\n\r\nThe last New Moon (on February 15th) was a Solar Eclipse, signaling the ending and beginning of a 19-year cycle. It shows us what remains to be healed, integrated, or released in order for us to take the next big step on our Soul\'s path.\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun, Neptune, Mercury, Venus and Chiron are all in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, drawing us inward, to be in silence and solitude as much as possible. We are to hear the quiet truth of our intuition and release what no longer serves our Soul\'s growth.\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon opposes Neptune, and the Sun conjuncts Neptune...</i> Ask yourself: If I\'m honest with myself, what would I notice that feels draining to me, rather than inspiring? What might happen if I surrendered my personal will 5% more to divine will? Could I be open to receiving guidance directly from my higher Self, my Soul-Self? If my feelings had words and could speak, what would they say? What would my dreams say? What message might my intuition have to give me?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>, conjunct Venus (exalted in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>):</i> Everything is made up of energy and therefore interconnected. If we can recognize that we all do the best we can, at any given time, and that on a spiritual level there are no mistakes, only experiences, we can learn about empathy -- and our brain will literally rewire itself towards compassion, rather than criticism.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What might be possible if I allowed my mind to be just 5% more relaxed? What if I stood in allowing, curiosity, and creative spaciousness? Am I currently using my imagination to inspire or scare myself? Do I have a tendency to go towards the worst case scenarios, or best case scenarios? What might \"love\" choose?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury/Venus alignment also conjuncts Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces --</i></b> this is an opportunity for healing: Chiron, the wounded healer, reminds us that anything can heal through the power of acceptance and love, and that healing happens by reclaiming and re-integrating those parts of ourselves that seem limited or \"imperfect\".\r\n\r\nCheck to see: do I feel unloved? Unworthy? Simply not good enough? And if I have those feelings, could I allow them simply to be here, just for right now? Could I be open to the possibility that these feelings are coming up right now, to be acknowledged and released?\r\n\r\nCheck to see if you are maybe revisiting themes from late January and from April of last year, when Venus was conjunct Chiron in Pisces. Ask yourself: What was present in my relationships with others back then? Or my relationship with the divine? Did I have any realizations? Any understanding of what needs to heal further?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury/Venus/Chiron alignment trines Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio </i></b><i>(stationing at the time of the FM, therefore exalted).</i> This supports a connection to our emotional/spiritual body.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How might a deeper, authentic, emotional approach support my connection to my divinity and my related healing process? What new perspectives or higher truths might I find?\r\n\r\nIf I looked at my human limitations through the lens of the human-soul alliance, is it at least possible that this would deepen my relationships with others?\r\n\r\nWe will also go into Jupiter\'s movement in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the Jupiter Station and Retrograde phase is going to impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up to our own birth charts.\r\n\r\nThe next Forum is next week <b>Friday</b>, <b>March 2nd, 2018 at </b>12pm<b> </b>PST/<b> 3pm EST</b>/8pm GMT (London-time). To join for FREE, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/JLFckh\">become a Star or SuperStar Member</a> on my site: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/JLFckh\">https://goo.gl/JLFckh</a> For more info about the Forums, or to register as at the regular fee, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">click here</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">https://goo.gl/wrs4H3</a>.\r\n\r\n<i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> squares the Mercury/Venus/Chiron alignment in </i><b><i>Pisces.</i></b> Squares always ask us to stretch and grow -- this particular square, with <i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> vs. Mercury/Venus in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>is all about fast vs. slow, extroverted vs. introverted, physical vs. emotional inspiration, impulsive vs. thoughtful, meditative vs. direct, straightforward vs. ambiguous or long-winded. Phew.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What would it look like if I could walk my talk 5% more, instead of getting caught up in idealized phantasies or dreams? What if I looked within before leaping into action? What daily practice could support my looking before I leap? What if my truths applied to me only? How might this contribute to my inner peace?\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon invites us to \"be love\" in thought and action. It also reminds us that our mindfulness and open heart make a difference, not only in our own life, but in the world. Before taking action (or if you are simply feeling ambitious about something) ask yourself: What would love do? What would my heart say, if it had words and could speak?\r\n\r\nRather than pushing, over-thinking or giving up, I invite you to conduct small, simple experiments and have faith in universal support…\r\n\r\n<b>For the next two weeks</b>, ask yourself: Where is the balance point of intellect and intuition? Striving and surrender? What if I trusted 5% more in the \"perfect\" outcome?\r\n\r\n<i>To sum it all up:</i> This Full Moon reminds us that, no matter what chaos, intensity and craziness might be going on outside of us, we have only to look inside to find our truth, to find peace.

Self-Care is key ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 4:51pm EST, </strong>we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for almost 7 hours, <strong>until 11:42pm EST. </strong>Use this intuitive time to make adjustments and (as best as you can) find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. Make space both for going after your vision and for taking care of emotional or family issues.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can.\r\n\r\nFun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (Feb. 27th): </strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving </i></span><strong><b><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><i>Leo </i>all day</span> </b></strong>(see Monday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday early morning</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Pluto aspect </em>becomes exact at 5:20am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Sunday evening on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday evening. </strong>We have an opportunity here, to bring all of our passion to what we value most -- to build something with spiritual or creative value.\r\n\r\nThis could be a powerful and passionate time in our romantic relationships. We have the opportunity to build something long-term and bring a good dose of faith to that process. Remember: this is an \"opportunity\" -- opportunities aren\'t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio or Taurus</i></b><i>?

This is a chance to have some discussions that have been overdue.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, make it a productive discussion that serves you and others -- a win-win -- otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards.

Remember: opportunities aren\'t on \"automatic\"... we have to go after them, realize them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point or personal planets in 18-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Taurus</i></b><i>?

We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<b> </b>This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the</i> <em>Full Moon</em> (exact later this evening).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 6:22am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday evening on; it will remain strong until this Saturday evening. </strong>Harmony and goodwill reign under this influence. We experience expansive feelings in love and a feeling that anything is possible if we set our sights high enough.\r\n\r\nWe are more likely to be friendly, open, and optimistic -- it\'s a great time for winning people\'s trust, making it much easier to make social contacts. We believe in our relationships and we have faith that all is going to work out for the best.\r\n\r\nWe might feel an urge to connect to people from other countries or foreign cultures, just to have an adventure, or widen our horizons. Financially, there might be a tendency to spend more than usual, as we feel confident that an abundance of resources is available to us. The thing to watch out for is the feeling that we don\'t have to actually do anything to \"cash in\".\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">That said, there are plenty of opportunities to be had, financial and otherwise, especially in connection with spiritual or creative endeavors, Businesses/partnerships that deal with intimacy or transformational work, the film, fashion and music industry, and educational businesses or endeavors and the travel industry -- connected to the above mentioned areas -- are also highlighted ;-)</span>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or <b>Cancer</b></i><i>? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\nAs mentioned above, the Moon’s entrance<i> </i>into<i> </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b> on Thursday very early morning started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon </i>that will be \"exact\" today<b> (Thursday), at 7:51pm EST, </b><i>in 11 degrees of</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b>.\r\n\r\n<em>A Full Moon</em> is always an opposition between the Moon and the Sun. During these oppositions, we seek balance, alignment and integration around two perspectives that seem like polar opposites; very often we experience this (and achieve it) through our interactions with others... so relationships of all kinds are highlighted during Full Moons. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/discernment-from-the-heart/\">Feel free to also watch my video for more:</a> https://youtu.be/omEJwbuQZwA\r\n\r\nToday, the Moon in <b>Virgo </b>opposes the Sun in <b>Pisces.</b> Virgo seeks personal wholeness; Pisces reminds us of an even greater wholeness — our divinity and interconnectedness with all of life.\r\n\r\nVirgo benefits from apprenticeship, whereas Pisces learns to trust inner guidance above all else -- when balanced, we are able to discern without judgment, serve without obligation, and love all of creation, including ourselves. Virgo analyzes, Pisces feels. We are invited to discern what\'s real, so we can make healthier choices.\r\n\r\nTo find the <i>balance between </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> and </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, ask yourself: Where do I need to be more selective? Where do I need to be more accepting? How can I tap into my inner knowingness and make practical choices? What if “choosing\" was already (and always) in alignment with divine timing?\r\n\r\nAll Full Moons bring awareness to a polarity, and this illuminates the shadow sides of both signs (in this case Virgo and Pisces).\r\n\r\nVirgo\'s shadow side is \"Judgement\", as this creates separation from others and a split within ourselves. It closes our heart. It limits our ability to learn. It keeps us stuck in duality, defending our position or attacking others. It\'s showing up when we label things as good or bad, rather than seeing them in terms of useful or unproductive.\r\n\r\nWhen we draw on the higher vibrations of Pisces we can more easily connect with the higher vibration of Virgo. Pisces\'s best qualities are compassion, intuitiveness, open-heartedness, inspirational creativity and imagination. At its best, Pisces understands that we are all souls in various states of development, doing the best we can.\r\n\r\nThe shadow side of Pisces is a lack of boundaries, ambiguity, escapism, helplessness or victimization; when we draw on the best qualities of Virgo we can move back into the higher vibration of Pisces again. Virgo\'s best qualities are the ability to choose wisely, and discern objectively what works and what doesn\'t.\r\n\r\nWhen both sides are integrated well, we have the acuity and sharpness of the mind, united with the wisdom of our heart and our intuitive guidance.\r\n\r\nWhat if I could find the synergy between my emotional, intuitive understanding and my rational, scientific understanding? Do I really have to choose between scientific facts and intuitive knowingness... What if I could have both? How might that be possible?\r\n\r\nFor the next two weeks, Virgo asks us to become aware of the clutter that is distracting us from our priorities; ask yourself: What in my current daily life is nourishing? And what might be toxic?\r\n\r\nVirgo\'s highest vibration is also about Service. To be of service, we must acquire discernment — not judgement, not criticism, not perfectionism, but the ability to focus objectively on what is helpful, and set aside the rest. In order to serve, we have to first realize that we have something to offer.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What if I didn\'t have to be perfect to be of service? What might I notice if I were 5% more mindful of my inner dialog? What if I brought 5% more compassion to myself? Even to my inner critic?\r\n\r\nThe last New Moon (on February 15th) was a Solar Eclipse, signaling the ending and beginning of a 19-year cycle. It shows us what remains to be healed, integrated, or released in order for us to take the next big step on our Soul\'s path.\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun, Neptune, Mercury, Venus and Chiron are all in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, drawing us inward, to be in silence and solitude as much as possible. We are to hear the quiet truth of our intuition and release what no longer serves our Soul\'s growth.\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon opposes Neptune, and the Sun conjuncts Neptune...</i> Ask yourself: If I\'m honest with myself, what would I notice that feels draining to me, rather than inspiring? What might happen if I surrendered my personal will 5% more to divine will? Could I be open to receiving guidance directly from my higher Self, my Soul-Self? If my feelings had words and could speak, what would they say? What would my dreams say? What message might my intuition have to give me?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>, conjunct Venus (exalted in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>):</i> Everything is made up of energy and therefore interconnected. If we can recognize that we all do the best we can, at any given time, and that on a spiritual level there are no mistakes, only experiences, we can learn about empathy -- and our brain will literally rewire itself towards compassion, rather than criticism.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What might be possible if I allowed my mind to be just 5% more relaxed? What if I stood in allowing, curiosity, and creative spaciousness? Am I currently using my imagination to inspire or scare myself? Do I have a tendency to go towards the worst case scenarios, or best case scenarios? What might \"love\" choose?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury/Venus alignment also conjuncts Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces --</i></b> this is an opportunity for healing: Chiron, the wounded healer, reminds us that anything can heal through the power of acceptance and love, and that healing happens by reclaiming and re-integrating those parts of ourselves that seem limited or \"imperfect\".\r\n\r\nCheck to see: do I feel unloved? Unworthy? Simply not good enough? And if I have those feelings, could I allow them simply to be here, just for right now? Could I be open to the possibility that these feelings are coming up right now, to be acknowledged and released?\r\n\r\nCheck to see if you are maybe revisiting themes from late January and from April of last year, when Venus was conjunct Chiron in Pisces. Ask yourself: What was present in my relationships with others back then? Or my relationship with the divine? Did I have any realizations? Any understanding of what needs to heal further?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury/Venus/Chiron alignment trines Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio </i></b><i>(stationing at the time of the FM, therefore exalted).</i> This supports a connection to our emotional/spiritual body.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How might a deeper, authentic, emotional approach support my connection to my divinity and my related healing process? What new perspectives or higher truths might I find?\r\n\r\nIf I looked at my human limitations through the lens of the human-soul alliance, is it at least possible that this would deepen my relationships with others?\r\n\r\nWe will also go into Jupiter\'s movement in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the Jupiter Station and Retrograde phase is going to impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up to our own birth charts.\r\n\r\nThe next Forum is next week <b>Friday</b>, <b>March 2nd, 2018 at </b>12pm<b> </b>PST/<b> 3pm EST</b>/8pm GMT (London-time). To join for FREE, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/JLFckh\">become a Star or SuperStar Member</a> on my site: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/JLFckh\">https://goo.gl/JLFckh</a> For more info about the Forums, or to register as at the regular fee, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">click here</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">https://goo.gl/wrs4H3</a>.\r\n\r\n<i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> squares the Mercury/Venus/Chiron alignment in </i><b><i>Pisces.</i></b> Squares always ask us to stretch and grow -- this particular square, with <i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> vs. Mercury/Venus in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>is all about fast vs. slow, extroverted vs. introverted, physical vs. emotional inspiration, impulsive vs. thoughtful, meditative vs. direct, straightforward vs. ambiguous or long-winded. Phew.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What would it look like if I could walk my talk 5% more, instead of getting caught up in idealized phantasies or dreams? What if I looked within before leaping into action? What daily practice could support my looking before I leap? What if my truths applied to me only? How might this contribute to my inner peace?\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon invites us to \"be love\" in thought and action. It also reminds us that our mindfulness and open heart make a difference, not only in our own life, but in the world. Before taking action (or if you are simply feeling ambitious about something) ask yourself: What would love do? What would my heart say, if it had words and could speak?\r\n\r\nRather than pushing, over-thinking or giving up, I invite you to conduct small, simple experiments and have faith in universal support…\r\n\r\n<b>For the next two weeks</b>, ask yourself: Where is the balance point of intellect and intuition? Striving and surrender? What if I trusted 5% more in the \"perfect\" outcome?\r\n\r\n<i>To sum it all up:</i> This Full Moon reminds us that, no matter what chaos, intensity and craziness might be going on outside of us, we have only to look inside to find our truth, to find peace. It’s in our hearts that we\'ll find what matters -- and what we can believe in whole-heartedly. Peace comes from within, from each one of us... We are what we choose to be in every “moment of now”... so choose wisely!\r\n\r\nAs best as you can therefore, simply observe like a scientist, from a place of neutrality and curiosity. Notice what serves you in the moment.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/discernment-from-the-heart/\">To learn more about additional aspects connected to this month\'s Full Moon, please click here to watch my video:</a> https://youtu.be/omEJwbuQZwA\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point, or personal planets in 9-13 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>?

Self-Care is key ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 4:51pm EST, </strong>we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for almost 7 hours, <strong>until 11:42pm EST. </strong>Use this intuitive time to make adjustments and (as best as you can) find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. Make space both for going after your vision and for taking care of emotional or family issues.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can.\r\n\r\nFun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (Feb. 27th): </strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving </i></span><strong><b><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><i>Leo </i>all day</span> </b></strong>(see Monday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday early morning</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Pluto aspect </em>becomes exact at 5:20am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Sunday evening on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday evening. </strong>We have an opportunity here, to bring all of our passion to what we value most -- to build something with spiritual or creative value.\r\n\r\nThis could be a powerful and passionate time in our romantic relationships. We have the opportunity to build something long-term and bring a good dose of faith to that process.

This is a chance to have some discussions that have been overdue.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, make it a productive discussion that serves you and others -- a win-win -- otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards.

Remember: opportunities aren\'t on \"automatic\"... we have to go after them, realize them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point or personal planets in 18-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Taurus</i></b><i>?

We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<b> </b>This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the</i> <em>Full Moon</em> (exact later this evening).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 6:22am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday evening on; it will remain strong until this Saturday evening. </strong>Harmony and goodwill reign under this influence. We experience expansive feelings in love and a feeling that anything is possible if we set our sights high enough.\r\n\r\nWe are more likely to be friendly, open, and optimistic -- it\'s a great time for winning people\'s trust, making it much easier to make social contacts. We believe in our relationships and we have faith that all is going to work out for the best.\r\n\r\nWe might feel an urge to connect to people from other countries or foreign cultures, just to have an adventure, or widen our horizons. Financially, there might be a tendency to spend more than usual, as we feel confident that an abundance of resources is available to us. The thing to watch out for is the feeling that we don\'t have to actually do anything to \"cash in\".\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">That said, there are plenty of opportunities to be had, financial and otherwise, especially in connection with spiritual or creative endeavors, Businesses/partnerships that deal with intimacy or transformational work, the film, fashion and music industry, and educational businesses or endeavors and the travel industry -- connected to the above mentioned areas -- are also highlighted ;-)</span>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or <b>Cancer</b></i><i>? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\nAs mentioned above, the Moon’s entrance<i> </i>into<i> </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b> on Thursday very early morning started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon </i>that will be \"exact\" today<b> (Thursday), at 7:51pm EST, </b><i>in 11 degrees of</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b>.\r\n\r\n<em>A Full Moon</em> is always an opposition between the Moon and the Sun. During these oppositions, we seek balance, alignment and integration around two perspectives that seem like polar opposites; very often we experience this (and achieve it) through our interactions with others... so relationships of all kinds are highlighted during Full Moons. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/discernment-from-the-heart/\">Feel free to also watch my video for more:</a> https://youtu.be/omEJwbuQZwA\r\n\r\nToday, the Moon in <b>Virgo </b>opposes the Sun in <b>Pisces.</b> Virgo seeks personal wholeness; Pisces reminds us of an even greater wholeness — our divinity and interconnectedness with all of life.\r\n\r\nVirgo benefits from apprenticeship, whereas Pisces learns to trust inner guidance above all else -- when balanced, we are able to discern without judgment, serve without obligation, and love all of creation, including ourselves. Virgo analyzes, Pisces feels. We are invited to discern what\'s real, so we can make healthier choices.\r\n\r\nTo find the <i>balance between </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> and </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, ask yourself: Where do I need to be more selective? Where do I need to be more accepting? How can I tap into my inner knowingness and make practical choices? What if “choosing\" was already (and always) in alignment with divine timing?\r\n\r\nAll Full Moons bring awareness to a polarity, and this illuminates the shadow sides of both signs (in this case Virgo and Pisces).\r\n\r\nVirgo\'s shadow side is \"Judgement\", as this creates separation from others and a split within ourselves. It closes our heart. It limits our ability to learn. It keeps us stuck in duality, defending our position or attacking others. It\'s showing up when we label things as good or bad, rather than seeing them in terms of useful or unproductive.\r\n\r\nWhen we draw on the higher vibrations of Pisces we can more easily connect with the higher vibration of Virgo. Pisces\'s best qualities are compassion, intuitiveness, open-heartedness, inspirational creativity and imagination. At its best, Pisces understands that we are all souls in various states of development, doing the best we can.\r\n\r\nThe shadow side of Pisces is a lack of boundaries, ambiguity, escapism, helplessness or victimization; when we draw on the best qualities of Virgo we can move back into the higher vibration of Pisces again. Virgo\'s best qualities are the ability to choose wisely, and discern objectively what works and what doesn\'t.\r\n\r\nWhen both sides are integrated well, we have the acuity and sharpness of the mind, united with the wisdom of our heart and our intuitive guidance.\r\n\r\nWhat if I could find the synergy between my emotional, intuitive understanding and my rational, scientific understanding? Do I really have to choose between scientific facts and intuitive knowingness... What if I could have both? How might that be possible?\r\n\r\nFor the next two weeks, Virgo asks us to become aware of the clutter that is distracting us from our priorities; ask yourself: What in my current daily life is nourishing? And what might be toxic?\r\n\r\nVirgo\'s highest vibration is also about Service. To be of service, we must acquire discernment — not judgement, not criticism, not perfectionism, but the ability to focus objectively on what is helpful, and set aside the rest. In order to serve, we have to first realize that we have something to offer.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What if I didn\'t have to be perfect to be of service? What might I notice if I were 5% more mindful of my inner dialog? What if I brought 5% more compassion to myself? Even to my inner critic?\r\n\r\nThe last New Moon (on February 15th) was a Solar Eclipse, signaling the ending and beginning of a 19-year cycle. It shows us what remains to be healed, integrated, or released in order for us to take the next big step on our Soul\'s path.\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun, Neptune, Mercury, Venus and Chiron are all in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, drawing us inward, to be in silence and solitude as much as possible. We are to hear the quiet truth of our intuition and release what no longer serves our Soul\'s growth.\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon opposes Neptune, and the Sun conjuncts Neptune...</i> Ask yourself: If I\'m honest with myself, what would I notice that feels draining to me, rather than inspiring? What might happen if I surrendered my personal will 5% more to divine will? Could I be open to receiving guidance directly from my higher Self, my Soul-Self? If my feelings had words and could speak, what would they say? What would my dreams say? What message might my intuition have to give me?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>, conjunct Venus (exalted in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>):</i> Everything is made up of energy and therefore interconnected. If we can recognize that we all do the best we can, at any given time, and that on a spiritual level there are no mistakes, only experiences, we can learn about empathy -- and our brain will literally rewire itself towards compassion, rather than criticism.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What might be possible if I allowed my mind to be just 5% more relaxed? What if I stood in allowing, curiosity, and creative spaciousness? Am I currently using my imagination to inspire or scare myself? Do I have a tendency to go towards the worst case scenarios, or best case scenarios? What might \"love\" choose?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury/Venus alignment also conjuncts Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces --</i></b> this is an opportunity for healing: Chiron, the wounded healer, reminds us that anything can heal through the power of acceptance and love, and that healing happens by reclaiming and re-integrating those parts of ourselves that seem limited or \"imperfect\".\r\n\r\nCheck to see: do I feel unloved? Unworthy? Simply not good enough? And if I have those feelings, could I allow them simply to be here, just for right now? Could I be open to the possibility that these feelings are coming up right now, to be acknowledged and released?\r\n\r\nCheck to see if you are maybe revisiting themes from late January and from April of last year, when Venus was conjunct Chiron in Pisces. Ask yourself: What was present in my relationships with others back then? Or my relationship with the divine? Did I have any realizations? Any understanding of what needs to heal further?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury/Venus/Chiron alignment trines Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio </i></b><i>(stationing at the time of the FM, therefore exalted).</i> This supports a connection to our emotional/spiritual body.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How might a deeper, authentic, emotional approach support my connection to my divinity and my related healing process? What new perspectives or higher truths might I find?\r\n\r\nIf I looked at my human limitations through the lens of the human-soul alliance, is it at least possible that this would deepen my relationships with others?\r\n\r\nWe will also go into Jupiter\'s movement in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the Jupiter Station and Retrograde phase is going to impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up to our own birth charts.\r\n\r\nThe next Forum is next week <b>Friday</b>, <b>March 2nd, 2018 at </b>12pm<b> </b>PST/<b> 3pm EST</b>/8pm GMT (London-time). To join for FREE, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/JLFckh\">become a Star or SuperStar Member</a> on my site: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/JLFckh\">https://goo.gl/JLFckh</a> For more info about the Forums, or to register as at the regular fee, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">click here</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">https://goo.gl/wrs4H3</a>.\r\n\r\n<i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> squares the Mercury/Venus/Chiron alignment in </i><b><i>Pisces.</i></b> Squares always ask us to stretch and grow -- this particular square, with <i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> vs. Mercury/Venus in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>is all about fast vs. slow, extroverted vs. introverted, physical vs. emotional inspiration, impulsive vs. thoughtful, meditative vs. direct, straightforward vs. ambiguous or long-winded. Phew.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What would it look like if I could walk my talk 5% more, instead of getting caught up in idealized phantasies or dreams? What if I looked within before leaping into action? What daily practice could support my looking before I leap? What if my truths applied to me only? How might this contribute to my inner peace?\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon invites us to \"be love\" in thought and action. It also reminds us that our mindfulness and open heart make a difference, not only in our own life, but in the world. Before taking action (or if you are simply feeling ambitious about something) ask yourself: What would love do? What would my heart say, if it had words and could speak?\r\n\r\nRather than pushing, over-thinking or giving up, I invite you to conduct small, simple experiments and have faith in universal support…\r\n\r\n<b>For the next two weeks</b>, ask yourself: Where is the balance point of intellect and intuition? Striving and surrender? What if I trusted 5% more in the \"perfect\" outcome?\r\n\r\n<i>To sum it all up:</i> This Full Moon reminds us that, no matter what chaos, intensity and craziness might be going on outside of us, we have only to look inside to find our truth, to find peace. It’s in our hearts that we\'ll find what matters -- and what we can believe in whole-heartedly. Peace comes from within, from each one of us... We are what we choose to be in every “moment of now”... so choose wisely!\r\n\r\nAs best as you can therefore, simply observe like a scientist, from a place of neutrality and curiosity. Notice what serves you in the moment.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/discernment-from-the-heart/\">To learn more about additional aspects connected to this month\'s Full Moon, please click here to watch my video:</a> https://youtu.be/omEJwbuQZwA\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point, or personal planets in 9-13 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>?

Self-Care is key ;-)<!--more-->\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 4:51pm EST, </strong>we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for almost 7 hours, <strong>until 11:42pm EST. </strong>Use this intuitive time to make adjustments and (as best as you can) find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. Make space both for going after your vision and for taking care of emotional or family issues.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 11:42pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <b>until Wednesday night/Thursday <strong>very early morning</strong>. </b>We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising.\r\n\r\nWe all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-) So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can.\r\n\r\nFun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (Feb. 27th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving </i><strong><b><i>Leo </i>all day </b></strong>(see Monday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday early morning</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Pluto aspect </em>becomes exact at 5:20am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Sunday evening on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday evening. </strong>We have an opportunity here, to bring all of our passion to what we value most -- to build something with spiritual or creative value.\r\n\r\nThis could be a powerful and passionate time in our romantic relationships. We have the opportunity to build something long-term and bring a good dose of faith to that process. Remember: this is an \"opportunity\" -- opportunities aren\'t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio or Taurus</i></b><i>?

You may also want to plan Wednesday evening/night ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday evening</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Mars aspect </em>becomes exact at 6:56pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning on; it will remain strong until Friday morning. </strong>This aspect<i> </i>brings some juicy energy to our conversations. This is a chance to have some discussions that have been overdue.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, make it a productive discussion that serves you and others -- a win-win -- otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards. Also, watch out on the road for some crazy drivers… rushing might not necessarily get us there faster ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in </i><i>17-23 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Pisces, Sagittarius,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late evening</strong>, <em>an opportune Mercury/Pluto aspect </em>becomes exact at 11:42pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday morning. </strong>This aspect is an opportunity to deepen or transform areas of our lives that need it.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also an opportunity to do more research, so we can build something meaningful, all while learning about our authentic motivations. Remember: opportunities aren\'t on \"automatic\"... we have to go after them, realize them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point or personal planets in 18-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Taurus</i></b><i>?

We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<b> </b>This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the</i> <em>Full Moon</em> (exact later this evening).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 6:22am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday evening on; it will remain strong until this Saturday evening. </strong>Harmony and goodwill reign under this influence. We experience expansive feelings in love and a feeling that anything is possible if we set our sights high enough.\r\n\r\nWe are more likely to be friendly, open, and optimistic -- it\'s a great time for winning people\'s trust, making it much easier to make social contacts. We believe in our relationships and we have faith that all is going to work out for the best.\r\n\r\nWe might feel an urge to connect to people from other countries or foreign cultures, just to have an adventure, or widen our horizons. Financially, there might be a tendency to spend more than usual, as we feel confident that an abundance of resources is available to us. The thing to watch out for is the feeling that we don\'t have to actually do anything to \"cash in\".\r\n\r\nThat said, there are plenty of opportunities to be explored (financial and otherwise), especially in connection with spiritual or creative endeavors, Businesses and partnerships that deal with intimacy or transformational work, with the film, fashion and music industry, with educational businesses or endeavors, or with the travel industry are also highlighted ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or <b>Cancer</b></i><i>? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\nAs mentioned above, the Moon’s entrance<i> </i>into<i> </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b> on Thursday very early morning started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon </i>that will be \"exact\" today<b> (Thursday), at 7:51pm EST, </b><i>in 11 degrees of</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b>.\r\n\r\n<em>A Full Moon</em> is always an opposition between the Moon and the Sun. During these oppositions, we seek balance, alignment and integration around two perspectives that seem like polar opposites; very often we experience this (and achieve it) through our interactions with others... so relationships of all kinds are highlighted during Full Moons. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/discernment-from-the-heart/\">Feel free to also watch my video for more</a>\r\n\r\nToday, the Moon in <b>Virgo </b>opposes the Sun in <b>Pisces.</b> Virgo seeks personal wholeness; Pisces reminds us of an even greater wholeness — our divinity and interconnectedness with all of life.\r\n\r\nVirgo benefits from apprenticeship, whereas Pisces learns to trust inner guidance above all else -- when balanced, we are able to discern without judgment, serve without obligation, and love all of creation, including ourselves. Virgo analyzes, Pisces feels. We are invited to discern what\'s real, so we can make healthier choices.\r\n\r\nTo find the <i>balance between </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> and </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, ask yourself: Where do I need to be more selective? Where do I need to be more accepting? How can I tap into my inner knowingness and make practical choices? What if “choosing\" was already (and always) in alignment with divine timing?\r\n\r\nAll Full Moons bring awareness to a polarity, and this illuminates the shadow sides of both signs (in this case Virgo and Pisces).\r\n\r\nVirgo\'s shadow side is \"Judgement\", as this creates separation from others and a split within ourselves. It closes our heart. It limits our ability to learn. It keeps us stuck in duality, defending our position or attacking others. It\'s showing up when we label things as good or bad, rather than seeing them in terms of useful or unproductive.\r\n\r\nWhen we draw on the higher vibrations of Pisces we can more easily connect with the higher vibration of Virgo. Pisces\'s best qualities are compassion, intuitiveness, open-heartedness, inspirational creativity and imagination. At its best, Pisces understands that we are all souls in various states of development, doing the best we can.\r\n\r\nThe shadow side of Pisces is a lack of boundaries, ambiguity, escapism, helplessness or victimization; when we draw on the best qualities of Virgo we can move back into the higher vibration of Pisces again. Virgo\'s best qualities are the ability to choose wisely, and discern objectively what works and what doesn\'t.\r\n\r\nWhen both sides are integrated well, we have the acuity and sharpness of the mind, united with the wisdom of our heart and our intuitive guidance.\r\n\r\nWhat if I could find the synergy between my emotional, intuitive understanding and my rational, scientific understanding? Do I really have to choose between scientific facts and intuitive knowingness... What if I could have both? How might that be possible?\r\n\r\nFor the next two weeks, Virgo asks us to become aware of the clutter that is distracting us from our priorities; ask yourself: What in my current daily life is nourishing? And what might be toxic?\r\n\r\nVirgo\'s highest vibration is also about Service. To be of service, we must acquire discernment — not judgement, not criticism, not perfectionism, but the ability to focus objectively on what is helpful, and set aside the rest. In order to serve, we have to first realize that we have something to offer.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What if I didn\'t have to be perfect to be of service? What might I notice if I were 5% more mindful of my inner dialog? What if I brought 5% more compassion to myself? Even to my inner critic?\r\n\r\nThe last New Moon (on February 15th) was a Solar Eclipse, signaling the ending and beginning of a 19-year cycle. It shows us what remains to be healed, integrated, or released in order for us to take the next big step on our Soul\'s path.\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun, Neptune, Mercury, Venus and Chiron are all in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, drawing us inward, to be in silence and solitude as much as possible. We are to hear the quiet truth of our intuition and release what no longer serves our Soul\'s growth.\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon opposes Neptune, and the Sun conjuncts Neptune...</i> Ask yourself: If I\'m honest with myself, what would I notice that feels draining to me, rather than inspiring? What might happen if I surrendered my personal will 5% more to divine will? Could I be open to receiving guidance directly from my higher Self, my Soul-Self? If my feelings had words and could speak, what would they say? What would my dreams say? What message might my intuition have to give me?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>, conjunct Venus (exalted in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>):</i> Everything is made up of energy and therefore interconnected. If we can recognize that we all do the best we can, at any given time, and that on a spiritual level there are no mistakes, only experiences, we can learn about empathy -- and our brain will literally rewire itself towards compassion, rather than criticism.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What might be possible if I allowed my mind to be just 5% more relaxed? What if I stood in allowing, curiosity, and creative spaciousness? Am I currently using my imagination to inspire or scare myself? Do I have a tendency to go towards the worst case scenarios, or best case scenarios? What might \"love\" choose?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury/Venus alignment also conjuncts Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces --</i></b> this is an opportunity for healing: Chiron, the wounded healer, reminds us that anything can heal through the power of acceptance and love, and that healing happens by reclaiming and re-integrating those parts of ourselves that seem limited or \"imperfect\".\r\n\r\nCheck to see: do I feel unloved? Unworthy? Simply not good enough? And if I have those feelings, could I allow them simply to be here, just for right now? Could I be open to the possibility that these feelings are coming up right now, to be acknowledged and released?\r\n\r\nCheck to see if you are maybe revisiting themes from late January and from April of last year, when Venus was conjunct Chiron in Pisces. Ask yourself: What was present in my relationships with others back then? Or my relationship with the divine? Did I have any realizations? Any understanding of what needs to heal further?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury/Venus/Chiron alignment trines Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio </i></b><i>(stationing at the time of the FM, therefore exalted).</i> This supports a connection to our emotional/spiritual body.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How might a deeper, authentic, emotional approach support my connection to my divinity and my related healing process? What new perspectives or higher truths might I find?\r\n\r\nIf I looked at my human limitations through the lens of the human-soul alliance, is it at least possible that this would deepen my relationships with others?\r\n\r\nWe will also go into Jupiter\'s movement in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the Jupiter Station and Retrograde phase is going to impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up to our own birth charts.\r\n\r\nThe next Forum is next week <b>Friday</b>, <b>March 2nd, 2018 at </b>12pm<b> </b>PST/<b> 3pm EST</b>/8pm GMT (London-time). To join for FREE, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/JLFckh\">become a Star or SuperStar Member</a> on my site. For more info about the Forums, or to register as at the regular fee, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">click here</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> squares the Mercury/Venus/Chiron alignment in </i><b><i>Pisces.</i></b> Squares always ask us to stretch and grow -- this particular square, with <i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> vs. Mercury/Venus in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>is all about fast vs. slow, extroverted vs. introverted, physical vs. emotional inspiration, impulsive vs. thoughtful, meditative vs. direct, straightforward vs. ambiguous or long-winded. Phew.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What would it look like if I could walk my talk 5% more, instead of getting caught up in idealized phantasies or dreams? What if I looked within before leaping into action? What daily practice could support my looking before I leap? What if my truths applied to me only? How might this contribute to my inner peace?\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon invites us to \"be love\" in thought and action. It also reminds us that our mindfulness and open heart make a difference, not only in our own life, but in the world. Before taking action (or if you are simply feeling ambitious about something) ask yourself: What would love do? What would my heart say, if it had words and could speak?\r\n\r\nRather than pushing, over-thinking or giving up, I invite you to conduct small, simple experiments and have faith in universal support…\r\n\r\n<b>For the next two weeks</b>, ask yourself: Where is the balance point of intellect and intuition? Striving and surrender? What if I trusted 5% more in the \"perfect\" outcome?\r\n\r\n<i>To sum it all up:</i> This Full Moon reminds us that, no matter what chaos, intensity and craziness might be going on outside of us, we have only to look inside to find our truth, to find peace. It’s in our hearts that we\'ll find what matters -- and what we can believe in whole-heartedly. Peace comes from within, from each one of us... We are what we choose to be in every “moment of now”... so choose wisely!\r\n\r\nAs best as you can therefore, simply observe like a scientist, from a place of neutrality and curiosity. Notice what serves you in the moment.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/discernment-from-the-heart/\">To learn more about all aspects connected to this month\'s Full Moon, please click here to watch my video</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point, or personal planets in 9-13 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>?

You may also want to plan Friday evening/night ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 3rd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><em><i>detail-oriented, practical </i></em><strong><em>Virgo</em> </strong>and<strong> <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> until 3:20am EST </strong>(see Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 3:20am EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into harmony-loving, balance-seeking </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>, where<i> </i>it will journey <strong>until Monday morning (March 5th)</strong><b>.</b> The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Saturday night,</strong> the <em>Jupiter Station intensifies in 23 degrees of <strong>Scorpio, </strong></em>as it is preparing to come to a halt next week Thursday. This station will last <b>until March 20th</b>.\r\n\r\nJupiter represents our desire to seek insight through deep knowledge. Some of this planet\'s keywords: morality; gratitude; hope; honor; the law. Jupiter is the planet of possibility, optimism, wisdom, understanding and growth (including mental and spiritual growth). Jupiter is also associated with our <i>sense of humor</i>, generosity, tolerance, goodwill, and mercy (<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/feb-19-25/\">see last week\'s blog entry for more details</a>).\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 21-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Taurus, Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> will be more affected by this station. This is also true for those of us with their Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 4th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking </i><strong><b><i>Libra</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Saturday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Sun/Neptune alignment in almost 14 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 8:54am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday morning on; it will remain strong until next week Wednesday morning (March 7th) . </strong>This alignment asks that we slow down and go within, allow for all energies to move through us -- being present and compassionate are the higher vibrations of this alignment -- we are more aware than ever that all things are interconnected.\r\n\r\nFeeling things -- and allowing everyone (ourselves included) to \"have their feelings\" -- is highly recommended. When we start to resist the flow of life, the flow of feeling, we will create fear and suffering. The remedy is to open our hearts and let love flow through us.\r\n\r\nWhen we get quiet and allow ourselves to be still for a moment, we sense our interconnectedness with all living things, our spiritual roots, the sacredness of all.\r\n\r\nIf, on the other hand, we are unable to connect to our divine essence, if we focus only on what\'s outside of us, we will feel separate -- and this illusion of separateness might cause us to look for an escape from our harsh \"realities\".\r\n\r\nWhat might be possible if we simply let go of fear-based thinking altogether for a moment, and instead simply connected to our wise heart, trusting the perfection of each \"now\" moment? What if we were to let go of all expectations and open our heart to the miracle of life?\r\n\r\nThis is about surrendering to the moment of now, to love, to our heart -- not about giving up -- rather, allowing \"what is\" to be ok, to see the perfection of \"right now\".\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 11-17 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b><i>(The Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early afternoon</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Venus alignment in almost 26 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 1:05pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday on; it will remain strong until next week, Thursday evening (March 8th). </strong>This is an excellent time to share about love, compassion, animals, spiritual endeavors, some ideal, music, dreams, meditation techniques -- or anything we feel intuitive connected to -- and also about any teaching endeavors connected to those areas.\r\n\r\nThis alignment supports communicating from a compassionate, intuitive heart -- and in fact, it becomes essential to connect to people with whom we feel a strong affinity. We wish to form those connections in a spirit of harmony, sensitivity and equality. In fact, we generally tend to have a strong sense of fairness at this time, and want to be around people who share these values.\r\n\r\nWe also thoroughly enjoy the written and spoken word -- literature, wordplay, puns, moving conversations -- especially when the words are imaginative and speak of something romantic, inspiring, spiritual or creative.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Virgo, Gemini, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus  </i></b><i>(Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late afternoon</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Chiron alignment in almost 27.5 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 4:25pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday night on; it will remain strong until next week, Tuesday morning (March 7th). </strong>This it allows us to communicate our flaws and insecurities, and thereby begin to heal them.\r\n\r\nBringing compassion and understanding to our past wounds can feel very empowering and healing; doing the same for others is going to feel really good. Remember: what you can do for yourself, you can do for others more easily, and vice versa.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, whatever you do <i>or</i> don\'t communicate: cut yourself a little slack. Being human means making mistakes from time to time; there is no shame in that -- we always learn the most from our mistakes -- mistakes are our gold.\r\n\r\nDouble-check: does avoiding or judging my past mistakes actually serve me? Or anyone else? Could I be open to the possibility that all \"mistakes\" -- past, present and future -- exist to serve my evolution?  If that were true: what would need reevaluating?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 24-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

Social situations might feel awkward.\r\n\r\nWe may experience emotional triggers, so as best as you can, bring compassion and understanding to yourself, to others, and to those past experiences that wounded you. We need to learn to love ourselves, and heal deep fears of being \"not good enough\". Healing happens much faster when we are open to forgiving and embracing ourselves exactly as we are (and are not).\r\n\r\nFor those of you who want to have a better understanding of your personal healing journey, feel free to get the recording of my recent <b>Chiron-workshop: \"Healing with Astrology\" . </b>Join any of my memberships and receive this recording for FREE (value $30):<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\">Click here for more info</a>.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 24-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

Self-Care is key ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 4:51pm EST, </strong>we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for almost 7 hours, <strong>until 11:42pm EST. </strong>Use this intuitive time to make adjustments and (as best as you can) find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. Make space both for going after your vision and for taking care of emotional or family issues.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday evening ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon squares Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 11:42pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <b>until Wednesday night/Thursday <strong>very early morning</strong>. </b>We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising.\r\n\r\nWe all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-) So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can.\r\n\r\nFun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (Feb. 27th): </strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving </i></span><strong><b><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><i>Leo </i>all day</span> </b></strong>(see Monday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday early morning</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Pluto aspect </em>becomes exact at 5:20am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Sunday evening on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday evening. </strong>We have an opportunity here, to bring all of our passion to what we value most -- to build something with spiritual or creative value.\r\n\r\nThis could be a powerful and passionate time in our romantic relationships. We have the opportunity to build something long-term and bring a good dose of faith to that process. Remember: this is an \"opportunity\" -- opportunities aren\'t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio or Taurus</i></b><i>?

This is a chance to have some discussions that have been overdue.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, make it a productive discussion that serves you and others -- a win-win -- otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards. Also, watch out on the road for some crazy drivers… rushing might not necessarily get us there faster ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in </i><i>17-23 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Pisces, Sagittarius,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late evening</strong>, <em>an opportune Mercury/Pluto aspect </em>becomes exact at 11:42pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday morning. </strong>This aspect is an opportunity to deepen or transform areas of our lives that need it.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also an opportunity to do more research, so we can build something meaningful, all while learning about our authentic motivations. Remember: opportunities aren\'t on \"automatic\"... we have to go after them, realize them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point or personal planets in 18-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Taurus</i></b><i>?

We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<b> </b>This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the</i> <em>Full Moon</em> (exact later this evening).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 6:22am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday evening on; it will remain strong until this Saturday evening. </strong>Harmony and goodwill reign under this influence. We experience expansive feelings in love and a feeling that anything is possible if we set our sights high enough.\r\n\r\nWe are more likely to be friendly, open, and optimistic -- it\'s a great time for winning people\'s trust, making it much easier to make social contacts. We believe in our relationships and we have faith that all is going to work out for the best.\r\n\r\nWe might feel an urge to connect to people from other countries or foreign cultures, just to have an adventure, or widen our horizons. Financially, there might be a tendency to spend more than usual, as we feel confident that an abundance of resources is available to us. The thing to watch out for is the feeling that we don\'t have to actually do anything to \"cash in\".\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">That said, there are plenty of opportunities to be had, financial and otherwise, especially in connection with spiritual or creative endeavors, Businesses/partnerships that deal with intimacy or transformational work, the film, fashion and music industry, and educational businesses or endeavors and the travel industry -- connected to the above mentioned areas -- are also highlighted ;-)</span>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or <b>Cancer</b></i><i>? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\nAs mentioned above, the Moon’s entrance<i> </i>into<i> </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b> on Thursday very early morning started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon </i>that will be \"exact\" today<b> (Thursday), at 7:51pm EST, </b><i>in 11 degrees of</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b>.\r\n\r\n<em>A Full Moon</em> is always an opposition between the Moon and the Sun. During these oppositions, we seek balance, alignment and integration around two perspectives that seem like polar opposites; very often we experience this (and achieve it) through our interactions with others... so relationships of all kinds are highlighted during Full Moons. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/discernment-from-the-heart/\">Feel free to also watch my video for more:</a> https://youtu.be/omEJwbuQZwA\r\n\r\nToday, the Moon in <b>Virgo </b>opposes the Sun in <b>Pisces.</b> Virgo seeks personal wholeness; Pisces reminds us of an even greater wholeness — our divinity and interconnectedness with all of life.\r\n\r\nVirgo benefits from apprenticeship, whereas Pisces learns to trust inner guidance above all else -- when balanced, we are able to discern without judgment, serve without obligation, and love all of creation, including ourselves. Virgo analyzes, Pisces feels. We are invited to discern what\'s real, so we can make healthier choices.\r\n\r\nTo find the <i>balance between </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> and </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, ask yourself: Where do I need to be more selective? Where do I need to be more accepting? How can I tap into my inner knowingness and make practical choices? What if “choosing\" was already (and always) in alignment with divine timing?\r\n\r\nAll Full Moons bring awareness to a polarity, and this illuminates the shadow sides of both signs (in this case Virgo and Pisces).\r\n\r\nVirgo\'s shadow side is \"Judgement\", as this creates separation from others and a split within ourselves. It closes our heart. It limits our ability to learn. It keeps us stuck in duality, defending our position or attacking others. It\'s showing up when we label things as good or bad, rather than seeing them in terms of useful or unproductive.\r\n\r\nWhen we draw on the higher vibrations of Pisces we can more easily connect with the higher vibration of Virgo. Pisces\'s best qualities are compassion, intuitiveness, open-heartedness, inspirational creativity and imagination. At its best, Pisces understands that we are all souls in various states of development, doing the best we can.\r\n\r\nThe shadow side of Pisces is a lack of boundaries, ambiguity, escapism, helplessness or victimization; when we draw on the best qualities of Virgo we can move back into the higher vibration of Pisces again. Virgo\'s best qualities are the ability to choose wisely, and discern objectively what works and what doesn\'t.\r\n\r\nWhen both sides are integrated well, we have the acuity and sharpness of the mind, united with the wisdom of our heart and our intuitive guidance.\r\n\r\nWhat if I could find the synergy between my emotional, intuitive understanding and my rational, scientific understanding? Do I really have to choose between scientific facts and intuitive knowingness... What if I could have both? How might that be possible?\r\n\r\nFor the next two weeks, Virgo asks us to become aware of the clutter that is distracting us from our priorities; ask yourself: What in my current daily life is nourishing? And what might be toxic?\r\n\r\nVirgo\'s highest vibration is also about Service. To be of service, we must acquire discernment — not judgement, not criticism, not perfectionism, but the ability to focus objectively on what is helpful, and set aside the rest. In order to serve, we have to first realize that we have something to offer.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What if I didn\'t have to be perfect to be of service? What might I notice if I were 5% more mindful of my inner dialog? What if I brought 5% more compassion to myself? Even to my inner critic?\r\n\r\nThe last New Moon (on February 15th) was a Solar Eclipse, signaling the ending and beginning of a 19-year cycle. It shows us what remains to be healed, integrated, or released in order for us to take the next big step on our Soul\'s path.\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun, Neptune, Mercury, Venus and Chiron are all in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, drawing us inward, to be in silence and solitude as much as possible. We are to hear the quiet truth of our intuition and release what no longer serves our Soul\'s growth.\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon opposes Neptune, and the Sun conjuncts Neptune...</i> Ask yourself: If I\'m honest with myself, what would I notice that feels draining to me, rather than inspiring? What might happen if I surrendered my personal will 5% more to divine will? Could I be open to receiving guidance directly from my higher Self, my Soul-Self? If my feelings had words and could speak, what would they say? What would my dreams say? What message might my intuition have to give me?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>, conjunct Venus (exalted in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>):</i> Everything is made up of energy and therefore interconnected. If we can recognize that we all do the best we can, at any given time, and that on a spiritual level there are no mistakes, only experiences, we can learn about empathy -- and our brain will literally rewire itself towards compassion, rather than criticism.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What might be possible if I allowed my mind to be just 5% more relaxed? What if I stood in allowing, curiosity, and creative spaciousness? Am I currently using my imagination to inspire or scare myself? Do I have a tendency to go towards the worst case scenarios, or best case scenarios? What might \"love\" choose?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury/Venus alignment also conjuncts Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces --</i></b> this is an opportunity for healing: Chiron, the wounded healer, reminds us that anything can heal through the power of acceptance and love, and that healing happens by reclaiming and re-integrating those parts of ourselves that seem limited or \"imperfect\".\r\n\r\nCheck to see: do I feel unloved? Unworthy? Simply not good enough? And if I have those feelings, could I allow them simply to be here, just for right now? Could I be open to the possibility that these feelings are coming up right now, to be acknowledged and released?\r\n\r\nCheck to see if you are maybe revisiting themes from late January and from April of last year, when Venus was conjunct Chiron in Pisces. Ask yourself: What was present in my relationships with others back then? Or my relationship with the divine? Did I have any realizations? Any understanding of what needs to heal further?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury/Venus/Chiron alignment trines Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio </i></b><i>(stationing at the time of the FM, therefore exalted).</i> This supports a connection to our emotional/spiritual body.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How might a deeper, authentic, emotional approach support my connection to my divinity and my related healing process? What new perspectives or higher truths might I find?\r\n\r\nIf I looked at my human limitations through the lens of the human-soul alliance, is it at least possible that this would deepen my relationships with others?\r\n\r\nWe will also go into Jupiter\'s movement in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the Jupiter Station and Retrograde phase is going to impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up to our own birth charts.\r\n\r\nThe next Forum is next week <b>Friday</b>, <b>March 2nd, 2018 at </b>12pm<b> </b>PST/<b> 3pm EST</b>/8pm GMT (London-time). To join for FREE, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/JLFckh\">become a Star or SuperStar Member</a> on my site: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/JLFckh\">https://goo.gl/JLFckh</a> For more info about the Forums, or to register as at the regular fee, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">click here</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">https://goo.gl/wrs4H3</a>.\r\n\r\n<i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> squares the Mercury/Venus/Chiron alignment in </i><b><i>Pisces.</i></b> Squares always ask us to stretch and grow -- this particular square, with <i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> vs. Mercury/Venus in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>is all about fast vs. slow, extroverted vs. introverted, physical vs. emotional inspiration, impulsive vs. thoughtful, meditative vs. direct, straightforward vs. ambiguous or long-winded. Phew.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What would it look like if I could walk my talk 5% more, instead of getting caught up in idealized phantasies or dreams? What if I looked within before leaping into action? What daily practice could support my looking before I leap? What if my truths applied to me only? How might this contribute to my inner peace?\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon invites us to \"be love\" in thought and action. It also reminds us that our mindfulness and open heart make a difference, not only in our own life, but in the world. Before taking action (or if you are simply feeling ambitious about something) ask yourself: What would love do? What would my heart say, if it had words and could speak?\r\n\r\nRather than pushing, over-thinking or giving up, I invite you to conduct small, simple experiments and have faith in universal support…\r\n\r\n<b>For the next two weeks</b>, ask yourself: Where is the balance point of intellect and intuition? Striving and surrender? What if I trusted 5% more in the \"perfect\" outcome?\r\n\r\n<i>To sum it all up:</i> This Full Moon reminds us that, no matter what chaos, intensity and craziness might be going on outside of us, we have only to look inside to find our truth, to find peace. It’s in our hearts that we\'ll find what matters -- and what we can believe in whole-heartedly. Peace comes from within, from each one of us... We are what we choose to be in every “moment of now”... so choose wisely!\r\n\r\nAs best as you can therefore, simply observe like a scientist, from a place of neutrality and curiosity. Notice what serves you in the moment.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/discernment-from-the-heart/\">To learn more about additional aspects connected to this month\'s Full Moon, please click here to watch my video:</a> https://youtu.be/omEJwbuQZwA\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point, or personal planets in 9-13 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, this month\'s Full Moon will affect you more; the same is true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (March 2nd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in</em><em> <i>detail-oriented, practical</i></em><em><i> </i></em><strong><em>Virgo</em> all day </strong>(see Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Mercury/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 8:05am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on; it will remain strong until this Saturday night. </strong>During this aspect, we are more optimistic. We see the bigger picture, communicate more positively and readily inspire others.\r\n\r\nWe are tolerant of other perspectives and ideas, naturally avoid narrow-minded thinking, and feel at ease reconnecting with people from all walks of life. We might be drawn to exploring foreign languages, cultures, spiritual practices and countries. What learning would expand your horizons?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or <b>Cancer</b></i><i>? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 6:50pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for 8.5 hours, <strong>until 3:20am EST (Saturday very early morning) .</strong> Use this intuitive time to make clear choices when it comes to relating to others.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday evening/night ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Venus in <strong>Pisces</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 3rd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><em><i>detail-oriented, practical </i></em><strong><em>Virgo</em> </strong>and<strong> <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> until 3:20am EST </strong>(see Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 3:20am EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into harmony-loving, balance-seeking </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>, where<i> </i>it will journey <strong>until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Monday morning (March 5th)</span></strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><b>.</b></span> The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Saturday night,</strong> the <em>Jupiter Station intensifies in 23 degrees of <strong>Scorpio, </strong></em>as it is preparing to come to a halt next week Thursday. This station will last <b>until March 20th</b>.\r\n\r\nJupiter represents our desire to seek insight through knowledge. Some of this planet\'s keywords: morality; gratitude; hope; honor; the law. Jupiter is the planet of possibility, optimism, wisdom, understanding and growth (including mental and spiritual growth). Jupiter is also associated with our <i>sense of humor</i>, generosity, tolerance, goodwill, and mercy (<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/feb-19-25/\">see last week\'s blog entry for more details</a>).\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 21-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Taurus, Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> will be more affected by this station. This is also true for those of us with their Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 4th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking </i><strong><b><i>Libra</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Saturday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Sun/Neptune alignment in almost 11 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 8:54am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday morning on; it will remain strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">next week Wednesday morning (March 7th)</span> . </strong>This alignment asks that we slow down and go within, allow for all energies to move through us -- being present and compassionate are the higher vibrations of this alignment -- we are more aware than ever that all things are interconnected.\r\n\r\nFeeling things -- and allowing everyone (ourselves included) to \"have their feelings\" -- is highly recommended. When we start to resist the flow of life, the flow of feeling, we will create fear and suffering. The remedy is to open our hearts and let love flow through us.\r\n\r\nWhen we get quiet and allow ourselves to be still for a moment, we sense our interconnectedness with all living things, our spiritual roots, the sacredness of all.\r\n\r\nIf, on the other hand, we are unable to connect to our divine essence, if we focus only on what\'s outside of us, we will feel separate -- and this illusion of separateness might cause us to look for an escape from our harsh \"realities\".\r\n\r\nWhat might be possible if we simply let go of fear-based thinking altogether for a moment, and instead simply connected to our wise heart, trusting the perfection of each \"now\" moment? What if we were to let go of all expectations and open our heart to the miracle of life?\r\n\r\nThis is about surrendering to the moment of now, to love, to our heart -- not about giving up -- rather, allowing \"what is\" to be ok, to see the perfection of \"right now\".\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b><i>(The Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early afternoon</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Venus alignment in almost 26 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 1:05pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">from Tuesday on</span>; it will remain strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">next week, Thursday evening (March 8th).</span> </strong>This is an excellent time to share about love, compassion, animals, spiritual endeavors, some ideal, music, dreams, meditation techniques -- or anything we feel intuitive connected to -- and also about any teaching endeavors connected to those areas.\r\n\r\nThis alignment supports communicating from a compassionate, intuitive heart -- and in fact, it becomes essential to connect to people with whom we feel a strong affinity. We wish to form those connections in a spirit of harmony, sensitivity and equality. In fact, we generally tend to have a strong sense of fairness at this time, and want to be around people who share these values.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">We also thoroughly enjoy the written and spoken word -- literature, wordplay, puns, moving conversations -- especially when these words are imaginative and speak of something romantic, inspiring, spiritual or creative.\r\n</span>\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Virgo, Gemini, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus  </i></b><i>(Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late afternoon</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Chiron alignment in almost 27.5 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 4:25pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday night on; it will remain strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">next week, Tuesday morning (March 7th)</span>. </strong>This it allows us to communicate our flaws and insecurities, and thereby begin to heal them.\r\n\r\nBringing compassion and understanding to our past wounds can feel very empowering and healing; doing the same for others is going to feel really good. Remember: what you can do for yourself, you can do for others more easily, and vice versa.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, whatever you do <i>or</i> don\'t communicate: cut yourself a little slack. Being human means making mistakes from time to time; there is no shame in that -- we always learn the most from our mistakes -- mistakes are our gold.\r\n\r\nDouble-check: does avoiding or judging my past mistakes actually serve me? Or anyone else? Could I be open to the possibility that all \"mistakes\" -- past, present and future -- exist to serve my evolution?  If that were true: what would need reevaluating?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 24-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

Social situations might feel awkward.\r\n\r\nWe may experience emotional triggers, so as best as you can, bring compassion and understanding to yourself, to others, and to those past experiences that wounded you. We need to learn to love ourselves, and heal deep fears of being \"not good enough\". Healing happens much faster when we are open to forgiving and embracing ourselves exactly as we are (and are not).\r\n\r\nFor those of you who want to have a better understanding of your personal healing journey, feel free to get the recording of my recent <b>Chiron-workshop: \"Healing with Astrology\" . </b>Join any of my memberships and receive this recording for FREE (value $30):<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\">Click here for more info</a>.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 24-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

Self-Care is key ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 4:51pm EST, </strong>we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for almost 7 hours, <strong>until 11:42pm EST. </strong>Use this intuitive time to make adjustments and (as best as you can) find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. Make space both for going after your vision and for taking care of emotional or family issues.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can.\r\n\r\nFun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun?

We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<b> </b>This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the</i> <em>Full Moon</em> (exact later this evening).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 6:22am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday evening on; it will remain strong until this Saturday evening. </strong>Harmony and goodwill reign under this influence. We experience expansive feelings in love and a feeling that anything is possible if we set our sights high enough.\r\n\r\nWe are more likely to be friendly, open, and optimistic -- it\'s a great time for winning people\'s trust, making it much easier to make social contacts. We believe in our relationships and we have faith that all is going to work out for the best.\r\n\r\nWe might feel an urge to connect to people from other countries or foreign cultures, just to have an adventure, or widen our horizons. Financially, there might be a tendency to spend more than usual, as we feel confident that an abundance of resources is available to us. The thing to watch out for is the feeling that we don\'t have to actually do anything to \"cash in\".\r\n\r\nThat said, there are plenty of opportunities to be explored (financial and otherwise), especially in connection with spiritual or creative endeavors, Businesses and partnerships that deal with intimacy or transformational work, with the film, fashion and music industry, with educational businesses or endeavors, or with the travel industry are also highlighted ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or <b>Cancer</b></i><i>? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\nAs mentioned above, the Moon’s entrance<i> </i>into<i> </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b> on Thursday very early morning started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon </i>that will be \"exact\" today<b> (Thursday), at 7:51pm EST, </b><i>in 11 degrees of</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b>.\r\n\r\n<em>A Full Moon</em> is always an opposition between the Moon and the Sun. During these oppositions, we seek balance, alignment and integration around two perspectives that seem like polar opposites; very often we experience this (and achieve it) through our interactions with others... so relationships of all kinds are highlighted during Full Moons. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/discernment-from-the-heart/\">Feel free to also watch my video for more:</a> https://youtu.be/omEJwbuQZwA\r\n\r\nToday, the Moon in <b>Virgo </b>opposes the Sun in <b>Pisces.</b> Virgo seeks personal wholeness; Pisces reminds us of an even greater wholeness — our divinity and interconnectedness with all of life.\r\n\r\nVirgo benefits from apprenticeship, whereas Pisces learns to trust inner guidance above all else -- when balanced, we are able to discern without judgment, serve without obligation, and love all of creation, including ourselves. Virgo analyzes, Pisces feels. We are invited to discern what\'s real, so we can make healthier choices.\r\n\r\nTo find the <i>balance between </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> and </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, ask yourself: Where do I need to be more selective? Where do I need to be more accepting? How can I tap into my inner knowingness and make practical choices? What if “choosing\" was already (and always) in alignment with divine timing?\r\n\r\nAll Full Moons bring awareness to a polarity, and this illuminates the shadow sides of both signs (in this case Virgo and Pisces).\r\n\r\nVirgo\'s shadow side is \"Judgement\", as this creates separation from others and a split within ourselves. It closes our heart. It limits our ability to learn. It keeps us stuck in duality, defending our position or attacking others. It\'s showing up when we label things as good or bad, rather than seeing them in terms of useful or unproductive.\r\n\r\nWhen we draw on the higher vibrations of Pisces we can more easily connect with the higher vibration of Virgo. Pisces\'s best qualities are compassion, intuitiveness, open-heartedness, inspirational creativity and imagination. At its best, Pisces understands that we are all souls in various states of development, doing the best we can.\r\n\r\nThe shadow side of Pisces is a lack of boundaries, ambiguity, escapism, helplessness or victimization; when we draw on the best qualities of Virgo we can move back into the higher vibration of Pisces again. Virgo\'s best qualities are the ability to choose wisely, and discern objectively what works and what doesn\'t.\r\n\r\nWhen both sides are integrated well, we have the acuity and sharpness of the mind, united with the wisdom of our heart and our intuitive guidance.\r\n\r\nWhat if I could find the synergy between my emotional, intuitive understanding and my rational, scientific understanding? Do I really have to choose between scientific facts and intuitive knowingness... What if I could have both? How might that be possible?\r\n\r\nFor the next two weeks, Virgo asks us to become aware of the clutter that is distracting us from our priorities; ask yourself: What in my current daily life is nourishing? And what might be toxic?\r\n\r\nVirgo\'s highest vibration is also about Service. To be of service, we must acquire discernment — not judgement, not criticism, not perfectionism, but the ability to focus objectively on what is helpful, and set aside the rest. In order to serve, we have to first realize that we have something to offer.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What if I didn\'t have to be perfect to be of service? What might I notice if I were 5% more mindful of my inner dialog? What if I brought 5% more compassion to myself? Even to my inner critic?\r\n\r\nThe last New Moon (on February 15th) was a Solar Eclipse, signaling the ending and beginning of a 19-year cycle. It shows us what remains to be healed, integrated, or released in order for us to take the next big step on our Soul\'s path.\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun, Neptune, Mercury, Venus and Chiron are all in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, drawing us inward, to be in silence and solitude as much as possible. We are to hear the quiet truth of our intuition and release what no longer serves our Soul\'s growth.\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon opposes Neptune, and the Sun conjuncts Neptune...</i> Ask yourself: If I\'m honest with myself, what would I notice that feels draining to me, rather than inspiring? What might happen if I surrendered my personal will 5% more to divine will? Could I be open to receiving guidance directly from my higher Self, my Soul-Self? If my feelings had words and could speak, what would they say? What would my dreams say? What message might my intuition have to give me?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>, conjunct Venus (exalted in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>):</i> Everything is made up of energy and therefore interconnected. If we can recognize that we all do the best we can, at any given time, and that on a spiritual level there are no mistakes, only experiences, we can learn about empathy -- and our brain will literally rewire itself towards compassion, rather than criticism.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What might be possible if I allowed my mind to be just 5% more relaxed? What if I stood in allowing, curiosity, and creative spaciousness? Am I currently using my imagination to inspire or scare myself? Do I have a tendency to go towards the worst case scenarios, or best case scenarios? What might \"love\" choose?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury/Venus alignment also conjuncts Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces --</i></b> this is an opportunity for healing: Chiron, the wounded healer, reminds us that anything can heal through the power of acceptance and love, and that healing happens by reclaiming and re-integrating those parts of ourselves that seem limited or \"imperfect\".\r\n\r\nCheck to see: do I feel unloved? Unworthy? Simply not good enough? And if I have those feelings, could I allow them simply to be here, just for right now? Could I be open to the possibility that these feelings are coming up right now, to be acknowledged and released?\r\n\r\nCheck to see if you are maybe revisiting themes from late January and from April of last year, when Venus was conjunct Chiron in Pisces. Ask yourself: What was present in my relationships with others back then? Or my relationship with the divine? Did I have any realizations? Any understanding of what needs to heal further?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury/Venus/Chiron alignment trines Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio </i></b><i>(stationing at the time of the FM, therefore exalted).</i> This supports a connection to our emotional/spiritual body.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How might a deeper, authentic, emotional approach support my connection to my divinity and my related healing process? What new perspectives or higher truths might I find?\r\n\r\nIf I looked at my human limitations through the lens of the human-soul alliance, is it at least possible that this would deepen my relationships with others?\r\n\r\nWe will also go into Jupiter\'s movement in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the Jupiter Station and Retrograde phase is going to impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up to our own birth charts.\r\n\r\nThe next Forum is next week <b>Friday</b>, <b>March 2nd, 2018 at </b>12pm<b> </b>PST/<b> 3pm EST</b>/8pm GMT (London-time). To join for FREE, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/JLFckh\">become a Star or SuperStar Member</a> on my site: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/JLFckh\">https://goo.gl/JLFckh</a> For more info about the Forums, or to register as at the regular fee, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">click here</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">https://goo.gl/wrs4H3</a>.\r\n\r\n<i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> squares the Mercury/Venus/Chiron alignment in </i><b><i>Pisces.</i></b> Squares always ask us to stretch and grow -- this particular square, with <i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> vs. Mercury/Venus in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>is all about fast vs. slow, extroverted vs. introverted, physical vs. emotional inspiration, impulsive vs. thoughtful, meditative vs. direct, straightforward vs. ambiguous or long-winded. Phew.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What would it look like if I could walk my talk 5% more, instead of getting caught up in idealized phantasies or dreams? What if I looked within before leaping into action? What daily practice could support my looking before I leap? What if my truths applied to me only? How might this contribute to my inner peace?\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon invites us to \"be love\" in thought and action. It also reminds us that our mindfulness and open heart make a difference, not only in our own life, but in the world. Before taking action (or if you are simply feeling ambitious about something) ask yourself: What would love do? What would my heart say, if it had words and could speak?\r\n\r\nRather than pushing, over-thinking or giving up, I invite you to conduct small, simple experiments and have faith in universal support…\r\n\r\n<b>For the next two weeks</b>, ask yourself: Where is the balance point of intellect and intuition? Striving and surrender? What if I trusted 5% more in the \"perfect\" outcome?\r\n\r\n<i>To sum it all up:</i> This Full Moon reminds us that, no matter what chaos, intensity and craziness might be going on outside of us, we have only to look inside to find our truth, to find peace. It’s in our hearts that we\'ll find what matters -- and what we can believe in whole-heartedly. Peace comes from within, from each one of us... We are what we choose to be in every “moment of now”... so choose wisely!\r\n\r\nAs best as you can therefore, simply observe like a scientist, from a place of neutrality and curiosity. Notice what serves you in the moment.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/discernment-from-the-heart/\">To learn more about all aspects connected to this month\'s Full Moon, please click here to watch my video:</a> https://youtu.be/omEJwbuQZwA\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point, or personal planets in 9-13 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, this month\'s Full Moon will affect you more; the same is true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (March 2nd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in</em><em> <i>detail-oriented, practical</i></em><em><i> </i></em><strong><em>Virgo</em> all day </strong>(see Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Mercury/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 8:05am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on; it will remain strong until this Saturday night. </strong>During this aspect, we are more optimistic. We see the bigger picture, communicate more positively and readily inspire others.\r\n\r\nWe are tolerant of other perspectives and ideas, naturally avoid narrow-minded thinking, and feel at ease reconnecting with people from all walks of life. We might be drawn to exploring foreign languages, cultures, spiritual practices and countries. What learning would expand your horizons?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or <b>Cancer</b></i><i>? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 6:50pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for 8.5 hours, <strong>until 3:20am EST (Saturday very early morning) .</strong> Use this intuitive time to make clear choices when it comes to relating to others.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday evening/night ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 3rd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><em><i>detail-oriented, practical </i></em><strong><em>Virgo</em> </strong>and<strong> <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> until 3:20am EST </strong>(see Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 3:20am EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into harmony-loving, balance-seeking </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>, where<i> </i>it will journey <strong>until Monday morning (March 5th)</strong><b>.</b> The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Saturday night,</strong> the <em>Jupiter Station intensifies in 23 degrees of <strong>Scorpio, </strong></em>as it is preparing to come to a halt next week Thursday. This station will last <b>until March 20th</b>.\r\n\r\nJupiter represents our desire to seek insight through deep knowledge. Some of this planet\'s keywords: morality; gratitude; hope; honor; the law. Jupiter is the planet of possibility, optimism, wisdom, understanding and growth (including mental and spiritual growth). Jupiter is also associated with our <i>sense of humor</i>, generosity, tolerance, goodwill, and mercy (<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/feb-19-25/\">see last week\'s blog entry for more details</a>).\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 21-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Taurus, Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> will be more affected by this station. This is also true for those of us with their Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 4th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking </i><strong><b><i>Libra</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Saturday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Sun/Neptune alignment in almost 14 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 8:54am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday morning on; it will remain strong until next week Wednesday morning (March 7th) . </strong>This alignment asks that we slow down and go within, allow for all energies to move through us -- being present and compassionate are the higher vibrations of this alignment -- we are more aware than ever that all things are interconnected.\r\n\r\nFeeling things -- and allowing everyone (ourselves included) to \"have their feelings\" -- is highly recommended. When we start to resist the flow of life, the flow of feeling, we will create fear and suffering. The remedy is to open our hearts and let love flow through us.\r\n\r\nWhen we get quiet and allow ourselves to be still for a moment, we sense our interconnectedness with all living things, our spiritual roots, the sacredness of all.\r\n\r\nIf, on the other hand, we are unable to connect to our divine essence, if we focus only on what\'s outside of us, we will feel separate -- and this illusion of separateness might cause us to look for an escape from our harsh \"realities\".\r\n\r\nWhat might be possible if we simply let go of fear-based thinking altogether for a moment, and instead simply connected to our wise heart, trusting the perfection of each \"now\" moment? What if we were to let go of all expectations and open our heart to the miracle of life?\r\n\r\nThis is about surrendering to the moment of now, to love, to our heart -- not about giving up -- rather, allowing \"what is\" to be ok, to see the perfection of \"right now\".\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 11-17 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b><i>(The Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early afternoon</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Venus alignment in almost 26 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 1:05pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday on; it will remain strong until next week, Thursday evening (March 8th). </strong>This is an excellent time to share about love, compassion, animals, spiritual endeavors, some ideal, music, dreams, meditation techniques -- or anything we feel intuitive connected to -- and also about any teaching endeavors connected to those areas.\r\n\r\nThis alignment supports communicating from a compassionate, intuitive heart -- and in fact, it becomes essential to connect to people with whom we feel a strong affinity. We wish to form those connections in a spirit of harmony, sensitivity and equality. In fact, we generally tend to have a strong sense of fairness at this time, and want to be around people who share these values.\r\n\r\nWe also thoroughly enjoy the written and spoken word -- literature, wordplay, puns, moving conversations -- especially when the words are imaginative and speak of something romantic, inspiring, spiritual or creative.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Virgo, Gemini, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus  </i></b><i>(Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late afternoon</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Chiron alignment in almost 27.5 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 4:25pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday night on; it will remain strong until next week, Tuesday morning (March 7th). </strong>This it allows us to communicate our flaws and insecurities, and thereby begin to heal them.\r\n\r\nBringing compassion and understanding to our past wounds can feel very empowering and healing; doing the same for others is going to feel really good. Remember: what you can do for yourself, you can do for others more easily, and vice versa.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, whatever you do <i>or</i> don\'t communicate: cut yourself a little slack. Being human means making mistakes from time to time; there is no shame in that -- we always learn the most from our mistakes -- mistakes are our gold.\r\n\r\nDouble-check: does avoiding or judging my past mistakes actually serve me? Or anyone else? Could I be open to the possibility that all \"mistakes\" -- past, present and future -- exist to serve my evolution?  If that were true: what would need reevaluating?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 24-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini </i></b><i>(since Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early evening</strong>, <em>a Venus/Chiron alignment in almost 27.5 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 5:59pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday morning on; it will remain strong until next week, Wednesday morning (March 7th). </strong>This alignment reminds us of wounds around relationships or our sense of self-worth. Social situations might feel awkward.\r\n\r\nWe may experience emotional triggers, so as best as you can, bring compassion and understanding to yourself, to others, and to those past experiences that wounded you. We need to learn to love ourselves, and heal deep fears of being \"not good enough\". Healing happens much faster when we are open to forgiving and embracing ourselves exactly as we are (and are not).\r\n\r\nFor those of you who want to have a better understanding of your personal healing journey, feel free to get the recording of my recent <b>Chiron-workshop: \"Healing with Astrology\" . </b>Join any of my memberships and receive this recording for FREE (value $30):<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\">Click here for more info</a>.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 24-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 4:51pm EST, </strong>we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for almost 7 hours, <strong>until 11:42pm EST. </strong>Use this intuitive time to make adjustments and (as best as you can) find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. Make space both for going after your vision and for taking care of emotional or family issues.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday evening ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon squares Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 11:42pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <b>until Wednesday night/Thursday <strong>very early morning</strong>. </b>We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising.\r\n\r\nWe all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-) So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can.\r\n\r\nFun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (Feb. 27th): </strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving </i></span><strong><b><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><i>Leo </i>all day</span> </b></strong>(see Monday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday early morning</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Pluto aspect </em>becomes exact at 5:20am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Sunday evening on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday evening. </strong>We have an opportunity here, to bring all of our passion to what we value most -- to build something with spiritual or creative value.\r\n\r\nThis could be a powerful and passionate time in our romantic relationships. We have the opportunity to build something long-term and bring a good dose of faith to that process. Remember: this is an \"opportunity\" -- opportunities aren\'t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio or Taurus</i></b><i>?

You may also want to plan Wednesday evening/night ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon trines Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday evening</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Mars aspect </em>becomes exact at 6:56pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning on; it will remain strong until Friday morning. </strong>This aspect<i> </i>brings some juicy energy to our conversations. This is a chance to have some discussions that have been overdue.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, make it a productive discussion that serves you and others -- a win-win -- otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards. Also, watch out on the road for some crazy drivers… rushing might not necessarily get us there faster ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in </i><i>17-23 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Pisces, Sagittarius,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late evening</strong>, <em>an opportune Mercury/Pluto aspect </em>becomes exact at 11:42pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday morning. </strong>This aspect is an opportunity to deepen or transform areas of our lives that need it.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also an opportunity to do more research, so we can build something meaningful, all while learning about our authentic motivations. Remember: opportunities aren\'t on \"automatic\"... we have to go after them, realize them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point or personal planets in 18-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Taurus</i></b><i>?

We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<b> </b>This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the</i> <em>Full Moon</em> (exact later this evening).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 6:22am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday evening on; it will remain strong until this Saturday evening. </strong>Harmony and goodwill reign under this influence. We experience expansive feelings in love and a feeling that anything is possible if we set our sights high enough.\r\n\r\nWe are more likely to be friendly, open, and optimistic -- it\'s a great time for winning people\'s trust, making it much easier to make social contacts. We believe in our relationships and we have faith that all is going to work out for the best.\r\n\r\nWe might feel an urge to connect to people from other countries or foreign cultures, just to have an adventure, or widen our horizons. Financially, there might be a tendency to spend more than usual, as we feel confident that an abundance of resources is available to us. The thing to watch out for is the feeling that we don\'t have to actually do anything to \"cash in\".\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">That said, there are plenty of opportunities to be had, financial and otherwise, especially in connection with spiritual or creative endeavors, Businesses/partnerships that deal with intimacy or transformational work, the film, fashion and music industry, and educational businesses or endeavors and the travel industry -- connected to the above mentioned areas -- are also highlighted ;-)</span>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or <b>Cancer</b></i><i>? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\nAs mentioned above, the Moon’s entrance<i> </i>into<i> </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b> on Thursday very early morning started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon </i>that will be \"exact\" today<b> (Thursday), at 7:51pm EST, </b><i>in 11 degrees of</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b>.\r\n\r\n<em>A Full Moon</em> is always an opposition between the Moon and the Sun. During these oppositions, we seek balance, alignment and integration around two perspectives that seem like polar opposites; very often we experience this (and achieve it) through our interactions with others... so relationships of all kinds are highlighted during Full Moons. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/discernment-from-the-heart/\">Feel free to also watch my video for more:</a> https://youtu.be/omEJwbuQZwA\r\n\r\nToday, the Moon in <b>Virgo </b>opposes the Sun in <b>Pisces.</b> Virgo seeks personal wholeness; Pisces reminds us of an even greater wholeness — our divinity and interconnectedness with all of life.\r\n\r\nVirgo benefits from apprenticeship, whereas Pisces learns to trust inner guidance above all else -- when balanced, we are able to discern without judgment, serve without obligation, and love all of creation, including ourselves. Virgo analyzes, Pisces feels. We are invited to discern what\'s real, so we can make healthier choices.\r\n\r\nTo find the <i>balance between </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> and </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, ask yourself: Where do I need to be more selective? Where do I need to be more accepting? How can I tap into my inner knowingness and make practical choices? What if “choosing\" was already (and always) in alignment with divine timing?\r\n\r\nAll Full Moons bring awareness to a polarity, and this illuminates the shadow sides of both signs (in this case Virgo and Pisces).\r\n\r\nVirgo\'s shadow side is \"Judgement\", as this creates separation from others and a split within ourselves. It closes our heart. It limits our ability to learn. It keeps us stuck in duality, defending our position or attacking others. It\'s showing up when we label things as good or bad, rather than seeing them in terms of useful or unproductive.\r\n\r\nWhen we draw on the higher vibrations of Pisces we can more easily connect with the higher vibration of Virgo. Pisces\'s best qualities are compassion, intuitiveness, open-heartedness, inspirational creativity and imagination. At its best, Pisces understands that we are all souls in various states of development, doing the best we can.\r\n\r\nThe shadow side of Pisces is a lack of boundaries, ambiguity, escapism, helplessness or victimization; when we draw on the best qualities of Virgo we can move back into the higher vibration of Pisces again. Virgo\'s best qualities are the ability to choose wisely, and discern objectively what works and what doesn\'t.\r\n\r\nWhen both sides are integrated well, we have the acuity and sharpness of the mind, united with the wisdom of our heart and our intuitive guidance.\r\n\r\nWhat if I could find the synergy between my emotional, intuitive understanding and my rational, scientific understanding? Do I really have to choose between scientific facts and intuitive knowingness... What if I could have both? How might that be possible?\r\n\r\nFor the next two weeks, Virgo asks us to become aware of the clutter that is distracting us from our priorities; ask yourself: What in my current daily life is nourishing? And what might be toxic?\r\n\r\nVirgo\'s highest vibration is also about Service. To be of service, we must acquire discernment — not judgement, not criticism, not perfectionism, but the ability to focus objectively on what is helpful, and set aside the rest. In order to serve, we have to first realize that we have something to offer.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What if I didn\'t have to be perfect to be of service? What might I notice if I were 5% more mindful of my inner dialog? What if I brought 5% more compassion to myself? Even to my inner critic?\r\n\r\nThe last New Moon (on February 15th) was a Solar Eclipse, signaling the ending and beginning of a 19-year cycle. It shows us what remains to be healed, integrated, or released in order for us to take the next big step on our Soul\'s path.\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun, Neptune, Mercury, Venus and Chiron are all in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, drawing us inward, to be in silence and solitude as much as possible. We are to hear the quiet truth of our intuition and release what no longer serves our Soul\'s growth.\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon opposes Neptune, and the Sun conjuncts Neptune...</i> Ask yourself: If I\'m honest with myself, what would I notice that feels draining to me, rather than inspiring? What might happen if I surrendered my personal will 5% more to divine will? Could I be open to receiving guidance directly from my higher Self, my Soul-Self? If my feelings had words and could speak, what would they say? What would my dreams say? What message might my intuition have to give me?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>, conjunct Venus (exalted in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>):</i> Everything is made up of energy and therefore interconnected. If we can recognize that we all do the best we can, at any given time, and that on a spiritual level there are no mistakes, only experiences, we can learn about empathy -- and our brain will literally rewire itself towards compassion, rather than criticism.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What might be possible if I allowed my mind to be just 5% more relaxed? What if I stood in allowing, curiosity, and creative spaciousness? Am I currently using my imagination to inspire or scare myself? Do I have a tendency to go towards the worst case scenarios, or best case scenarios? What might \"love\" choose?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury/Venus alignment also conjuncts Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces --</i></b> this is an opportunity for healing: Chiron, the wounded healer, reminds us that anything can heal through the power of acceptance and love, and that healing happens by reclaiming and re-integrating those parts of ourselves that seem limited or \"imperfect\".\r\n\r\nCheck to see: do I feel unloved? Unworthy? Simply not good enough? And if I have those feelings, could I allow them simply to be here, just for right now? Could I be open to the possibility that these feelings are coming up right now, to be acknowledged and released?\r\n\r\nCheck to see if you are maybe revisiting themes from late January and from April of last year, when Venus was conjunct Chiron in Pisces. Ask yourself: What was present in my relationships with others back then? Or my relationship with the divine? Did I have any realizations? Any understanding of what needs to heal further?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury/Venus/Chiron alignment trines Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio </i></b><i>(stationing at the time of the FM, therefore exalted).</i> This supports a connection to our emotional/spiritual body.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How might a deeper, authentic, emotional approach support my connection to my divinity and my related healing process? What new perspectives or higher truths might I find?\r\n\r\nIf I looked at my human limitations through the lens of the human-soul alliance, is it at least possible that this would deepen my relationships with others?\r\n\r\nWe will also go into Jupiter\'s movement in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the Jupiter Station and Retrograde phase is going to impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up to our own birth charts.\r\n\r\nThe next Forum is next week <b>Friday</b>, <b>March 2nd, 2018 at </b>12pm<b> </b>PST/<b> 3pm EST</b>/8pm GMT (London-time). To join for FREE, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/JLFckh\">become a Star or SuperStar Member</a> on my site: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/JLFckh\">https://goo.gl/JLFckh</a> For more info about the Forums, or to register as at the regular fee, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">click here</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">https://goo.gl/wrs4H3</a>.\r\n\r\n<i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> squares the Mercury/Venus/Chiron alignment in </i><b><i>Pisces.</i></b> Squares always ask us to stretch and grow -- this particular square, with <i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> vs. Mercury/Venus in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>is all about fast vs. slow, extroverted vs. introverted, physical vs. emotional inspiration, impulsive vs. thoughtful, meditative vs. direct, straightforward vs. ambiguous or long-winded. Phew.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What would it look like if I could walk my talk 5% more, instead of getting caught up in idealized phantasies or dreams? What if I looked within before leaping into action? What daily practice could support my looking before I leap? What if my truths applied to me only? How might this contribute to my inner peace?\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon invites us to \"be love\" in thought and action. It also reminds us that our mindfulness and open heart make a difference, not only in our own life, but in the world. Before taking action (or if you are simply feeling ambitious about something) ask yourself: What would love do? What would my heart say, if it had words and could speak?\r\n\r\nRather than pushing, over-thinking or giving up, I invite you to conduct small, simple experiments and have faith in universal support…\r\n\r\n<b>For the next two weeks</b>, ask yourself: Where is the balance point of intellect and intuition? Striving and surrender? What if I trusted 5% more in the \"perfect\" outcome?\r\n\r\n<i>To sum it all up:</i> This Full Moon reminds us that, no matter what chaos, intensity and craziness might be going on outside of us, we have only to look inside to find our truth, to find peace. It’s in our hearts that we\'ll find what matters -- and what we can believe in whole-heartedly. Peace comes from within, from each one of us... We are what we choose to be in every “moment of now”... so choose wisely!\r\n\r\nAs best as you can therefore, simply observe like a scientist, from a place of neutrality and curiosity. Notice what serves you in the moment.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/discernment-from-the-heart/\">To learn more about additional aspects connected to this month\'s Full Moon, please click here to watch my video:</a> https://youtu.be/omEJwbuQZwA\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point, or personal planets in 9-13 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>?

We see the bigger picture, communicate more positively and readily inspire others.\r\n\r\nWe are tolerant of other perspectives and ideas, naturally avoid narrow-minded thinking, and feel at ease reconnecting with people from all walks of life. We might be drawn to exploring foreign languages, cultures, spiritual practices and countries. What learning would expand your horizons?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or <b>Cancer</b></i><i>?

You may also want to plan Friday evening/night ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Venus in <strong>Pisces</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 3rd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><em><i>detail-oriented, practical </i></em><strong><em>Virgo</em> </strong>and<strong> <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> until 3:20am EST </strong>(see Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 3:20am EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into harmony-loving, balance-seeking </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>, where<i> </i>it will journey <strong>until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Monday morning (March 5th)</span></strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><b>.</b></span> The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Saturday night,</strong> the <em>Jupiter Station intensifies in 23 degrees of <strong>Scorpio, </strong></em>as it is preparing to come to a halt next week Thursday. This station will last <b>until March 20th</b>.\r\n\r\nJupiter represents our desire to seek insight through knowledge. Some of this planet\'s keywords: morality; gratitude; hope; honor; the law. Jupiter is the planet of possibility, optimism, wisdom, understanding and growth (including mental and spiritual growth). Jupiter is also associated with our <i>sense of humor</i>, generosity, tolerance, goodwill, and mercy (<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/feb-19-25/\">see last week\'s blog entry for more details</a>).\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 21-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Taurus, Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> will be more affected by this station. This is also true for those of us with their Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 4th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking </i><strong><b><i>Libra</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Saturday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Sun/Neptune alignment in almost 11 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 8:54am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday morning on; it will remain strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">next week Wednesday morning (March 7th)</span> . </strong>This alignment asks that we slow down and go within, allow for all energies to move through us -- being present and compassionate are the higher vibrations of this alignment -- we are more aware than ever that all things are interconnected.\r\n\r\nFeeling things -- and allowing everyone (ourselves included) to \"have their feelings\" -- is highly recommended. When we start to resist the flow of life, the flow of feeling, we will create fear and suffering. The remedy is to open our hearts and let love flow through us.\r\n\r\nWhen we get quiet and allow ourselves to be still for a moment, we sense our interconnectedness with all living things, our spiritual roots, the sacredness of all.\r\n\r\nIf, on the other hand, we are unable to connect to our divine essence, if we focus only on what\'s outside of us, we will feel separate -- and this illusion of separateness might cause us to look for an escape from our harsh \"realities\".\r\n\r\nWhat might be possible if we simply let go of fear-based thinking altogether for a moment, and instead simply connected to our wise heart, trusting the perfection of each \"now\" moment? What if we were to let go of all expectations and open our heart to the miracle of life?\r\n\r\nThis is about surrendering to the moment of now, to love, to our heart -- not about giving up -- rather, allowing \"what is\" to be ok, to see the perfection of \"right now\".\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>?

We wish to form those connections in a spirit of harmony, sensitivity and equality. In fact, we generally tend to have a strong sense of fairness at this time, and want to be around people who share these values.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">We also thoroughly enjoy the written and spoken word -- literature, wordplay, puns, moving conversations -- especially when these words are imaginative and speak of something romantic, inspiring, spiritual or creative.\r\n</span>\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>?

Remember: what you can do for yourself, you can do for others more easily, and vice versa.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, whatever you do <i>or</i> don\'t communicate: cut yourself a little slack. Being human means making mistakes from time to time; there is no shame in that -- we always learn the most from our mistakes -- mistakes are our gold.\r\n\r\nDouble-check: does avoiding or judging my past mistakes actually serve me? Or anyone else?

Self-Care is key ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 4:51pm EST, </strong>we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for almost 7 hours, <strong>until 11:42pm EST. </strong>Use this intuitive time to make adjustments and (as best as you can) find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. Make space both for going after your vision and for taking care of emotional or family issues.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can.\r\n\r\nFun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (Feb. 27th): </strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving </i></span><strong><b><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><i>Leo </i>all day</span> </b></strong>(see Monday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday early morning</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Pluto aspect </em>becomes exact at 5:20am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Sunday evening on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday evening. </strong>We have an opportunity here, to bring all of our passion to what we value most -- to build something with spiritual or creative value.\r\n\r\nThis could be a powerful and passionate time in our romantic relationships. We have the opportunity to build something long-term and bring a good dose of faith to that process.

This is a chance to have some discussions that have been overdue.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, make it a productive discussion that serves you and others -- a win-win -- otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards.

Remember: opportunities aren\'t on \"automatic\"... we have to go after them, realize them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point or personal planets in 18-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Taurus</i></b><i>?

We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<b> </b>This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the</i> <em>Full Moon</em> (exact later this evening).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 6:22am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday evening on; it will remain strong until this Saturday evening. </strong>Harmony and goodwill reign under this influence. We experience expansive feelings in love and a feeling that anything is possible if we set our sights high enough.\r\n\r\nWe are more likely to be friendly, open, and optimistic -- it\'s a great time for winning people\'s trust, making it much easier to make social contacts. We believe in our relationships and we have faith that all is going to work out for the best.\r\n\r\nWe might feel an urge to connect to people from other countries or foreign cultures, just to have an adventure, or widen our horizons. Financially, there might be a tendency to spend more than usual, as we feel confident that an abundance of resources is available to us. The thing to watch out for is the feeling that we don\'t have to actually do anything to \"cash in\".\r\n\r\nThat said, there are plenty of opportunities to be explored (financial and otherwise), especially in connection with spiritual or creative endeavors, Businesses and partnerships that deal with intimacy or transformational work, with the film, fashion and music industry, with educational businesses or endeavors, or with the travel industry are also highlighted ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or <b>Cancer</b></i><i>? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\nAs mentioned above, the Moon’s entrance<i> </i>into<i> </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b> on Thursday very early morning started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon </i>that will be \"exact\" today<b> (Thursday), at 7:51pm EST, </b><i>in 11 degrees of</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b>.\r\n\r\n<em>A Full Moon</em> is always an opposition between the Moon and the Sun. During these oppositions, we seek balance, alignment and integration around two perspectives that seem like polar opposites; very often we experience this (and achieve it) through our interactions with others... so relationships of all kinds are highlighted during Full Moons. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/discernment-from-the-heart/\">Feel free to also watch my video for more:</a> https://youtu.be/omEJwbuQZwA\r\n\r\nToday, the Moon in <b>Virgo </b>opposes the Sun in <b>Pisces.</b> Virgo seeks personal wholeness; Pisces reminds us of an even greater wholeness — our divinity and interconnectedness with all of life.\r\n\r\nVirgo benefits from apprenticeship, whereas Pisces learns to trust inner guidance above all else -- when balanced, we are able to discern without judgment, serve without obligation, and love all of creation, including ourselves. Virgo analyzes, Pisces feels. We are invited to discern what\'s real, so we can make healthier choices.\r\n\r\nTo find the <i>balance between </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> and </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, ask yourself: Where do I need to be more selective? Where do I need to be more accepting? How can I tap into my inner knowingness and make practical choices? What if “choosing\" was already (and always) in alignment with divine timing?\r\n\r\nAll Full Moons bring awareness to a polarity, and this illuminates the shadow sides of both signs (in this case Virgo and Pisces).\r\n\r\nVirgo\'s shadow side is \"Judgement\", as this creates separation from others and a split within ourselves. It closes our heart. It limits our ability to learn. It keeps us stuck in duality, defending our position or attacking others. It\'s showing up when we label things as good or bad, rather than seeing them in terms of useful or unproductive.\r\n\r\nWhen we draw on the higher vibrations of Pisces we can more easily connect with the higher vibration of Virgo. Pisces\'s best qualities are compassion, intuitiveness, open-heartedness, inspirational creativity and imagination. At its best, Pisces understands that we are all souls in various states of development, doing the best we can.\r\n\r\nThe shadow side of Pisces is a lack of boundaries, ambiguity, escapism, helplessness or victimization; when we draw on the best qualities of Virgo we can move back into the higher vibration of Pisces again. Virgo\'s best qualities are the ability to choose wisely, and discern objectively what works and what doesn\'t.\r\n\r\nWhen both sides are integrated well, we have the acuity and sharpness of the mind, united with the wisdom of our heart and our intuitive guidance.\r\n\r\nWhat if I could find the synergy between my emotional, intuitive understanding and my rational, scientific understanding? Do I really have to choose between scientific facts and intuitive knowingness... What if I could have both? How might that be possible?\r\n\r\nFor the next two weeks, Virgo asks us to become aware of the clutter that is distracting us from our priorities; ask yourself: What in my current daily life is nourishing? And what might be toxic?\r\n\r\nVirgo\'s highest vibration is also about Service. To be of service, we must acquire discernment — not judgement, not criticism, not perfectionism, but the ability to focus objectively on what is helpful, and set aside the rest. In order to serve, we have to first realize that we have something to offer.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What if I didn\'t have to be perfect to be of service? What might I notice if I were 5% more mindful of my inner dialog? What if I brought 5% more compassion to myself? Even to my inner critic?\r\n\r\nThe last New Moon (on February 15th) was a Solar Eclipse, signaling the ending and beginning of a 19-year cycle. It shows us what remains to be healed, integrated, or released in order for us to take the next big step on our Soul\'s path.\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun, Neptune, Mercury, Venus and Chiron are all in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, drawing us inward, to be in silence and solitude as much as possible. We are to hear the quiet truth of our intuition and release what no longer serves our Soul\'s growth.\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon opposes Neptune, and the Sun conjuncts Neptune...</i> Ask yourself: If I\'m honest with myself, what would I notice that feels draining to me, rather than inspiring? What might happen if I surrendered my personal will 5% more to divine will? Could I be open to receiving guidance directly from my higher Self, my Soul-Self? If my feelings had words and could speak, what would they say? What would my dreams say? What message might my intuition have to give me?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>, conjunct Venus (exalted in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>):</i> Everything is made up of energy and therefore interconnected. If we can recognize that we all do the best we can, at any given time, and that on a spiritual level there are no mistakes, only experiences, we can learn about empathy -- and our brain will literally rewire itself towards compassion, rather than criticism.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What might be possible if I allowed my mind to be just 5% more relaxed? What if I stood in allowing, curiosity, and creative spaciousness? Am I currently using my imagination to inspire or scare myself? Do I have a tendency to go towards the worst case scenarios, or best case scenarios? What might \"love\" choose?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury/Venus alignment also conjuncts Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces --</i></b> this is an opportunity for healing: Chiron, the wounded healer, reminds us that anything can heal through the power of acceptance and love, and that healing happens by reclaiming and re-integrating those parts of ourselves that seem limited or \"imperfect\".\r\n\r\nCheck to see: do I feel unloved? Unworthy? Simply not good enough? And if I have those feelings, could I allow them simply to be here, just for right now? Could I be open to the possibility that these feelings are coming up right now, to be acknowledged and released?\r\n\r\nCheck to see if you are maybe revisiting themes from late January and from April of last year, when Venus was conjunct Chiron in Pisces. Ask yourself: What was present in my relationships with others back then? Or my relationship with the divine? Did I have any realizations? Any understanding of what needs to heal further?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury/Venus/Chiron alignment trines Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio </i></b><i>(stationing at the time of the FM, therefore exalted).</i> This supports a connection to our emotional/spiritual body.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How might a deeper, authentic, emotional approach support my connection to my divinity and my related healing process? What new perspectives or higher truths might I find?\r\n\r\nIf I looked at my human limitations through the lens of the human-soul alliance, is it at least possible that this would deepen my relationships with others?\r\n\r\nWe will also go into Jupiter\'s movement in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the Jupiter Station and Retrograde phase is going to impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up to our own birth charts.\r\n\r\nThe next Forum is next week <b>Friday</b>, <b>March 2nd, 2018 at </b>12pm<b> </b>PST/<b> 3pm EST</b>/8pm GMT (London-time). To join for FREE, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/JLFckh\">become a Star or SuperStar Member</a> on my site: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/JLFckh\">https://goo.gl/JLFckh</a> For more info about the Forums, or to register as at the regular fee, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">click here</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">https://goo.gl/wrs4H3</a>.\r\n\r\n<i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> squares the Mercury/Venus/Chiron alignment in </i><b><i>Pisces.</i></b> Squares always ask us to stretch and grow -- this particular square, with <i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> vs. Mercury/Venus in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>is all about fast vs. slow, extroverted vs. introverted, physical vs. emotional inspiration, impulsive vs. thoughtful, meditative vs. direct, straightforward vs. ambiguous or long-winded. Phew.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What would it look like if I could walk my talk 5% more, instead of getting caught up in idealized phantasies or dreams? What if I looked within before leaping into action? What daily practice could support my looking before I leap? What if my truths applied to me only? How might this contribute to my inner peace?\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon invites us to \"be love\" in thought and action. It also reminds us that our mindfulness and open heart make a difference, not only in our own life, but in the world. Before taking action (or if you are simply feeling ambitious about something) ask yourself: What would love do? What would my heart say, if it had words and could speak?\r\n\r\nRather than pushing, over-thinking or giving up, I invite you to conduct small, simple experiments and have faith in universal support…\r\n\r\n<b>For the next two weeks</b>, ask yourself: Where is the balance point of intellect and intuition? Striving and surrender? What if I trusted 5% more in the \"perfect\" outcome?\r\n\r\n<i>To sum it all up:</i> This Full Moon reminds us that, no matter what chaos, intensity and craziness might be going on outside of us, we have only to look inside to find our truth, to find peace. It’s in our hearts that we\'ll find what matters -- and what we can believe in whole-heartedly. Peace comes from within, from each one of us... We are what we choose to be in every “moment of now”... so choose wisely!\r\n\r\nAs best as you can therefore, simply observe like a scientist, from a place of neutrality and curiosity. Notice what serves you in the moment.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/discernment-from-the-heart/\">To learn more about all aspects connected to this month\'s Full Moon, please click here to watch my video:</a> https://youtu.be/omEJwbuQZwA\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point, or personal planets in 9-13 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>?

You may also want to plan Friday evening/night ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Venus in <strong>Pisces</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 3rd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><em><i>detail-oriented, practical </i></em><strong><em>Virgo</em> </strong>and<strong> <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> until 3:20am EST </strong>(see Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 3:20am EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into harmony-loving, balance-seeking </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>, where<i> </i>it will journey <strong>until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Monday morning (March 5th)</span></strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><b>.</b></span> The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Saturday night,</strong> the <em>Jupiter Station intensifies in 23 degrees of <strong>Scorpio, </strong></em>as it is preparing to come to a halt next week Thursday. This station will last <b>until March 20th</b>.\r\n\r\nJupiter represents our desire to seek insight through deep knowledge. Some of this planet\'s keywords: morality; gratitude; hope; honor; the law. Jupiter is the planet of possibility, optimism, wisdom, understanding and growth (including mental and spiritual growth). Jupiter is also associated with our <i>sense of humor</i>, generosity, tolerance, goodwill, and mercy (<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/feb-19-25/\">see last week\'s blog entry for more details</a>).\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 21-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Taurus, Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> will be more affected by this station. This is also true for those of us with their Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 4th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking </i><strong><b><i>Libra</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Saturday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Sun/Neptune alignment in <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">almost 14 degrees</span> of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 8:54am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday morning on; it will remain strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">next week Wednesday morning (March 7th)</span> . </strong>This alignment asks that we slow down and go within, allow for all energies to move through us -- being present and compassionate are the higher vibrations of this alignment -- we are more aware than ever that all things are interconnected.\r\n\r\nFeeling things -- and allowing everyone (ourselves included) to \"have their feelings\" -- is highly recommended. When we start to resist the flow of life, the flow of feeling, we will create fear and suffering. The remedy is to open our hearts and let love flow through us.\r\n\r\nWhen we get quiet and allow ourselves to be still for a moment, we sense our interconnectedness with all living things, our spiritual roots, the sacredness of all.\r\n\r\nIf, on the other hand, we are unable to connect to our divine essence, if we focus only on what\'s outside of us, we will feel separate -- and this illusion of separateness might cause us to look for an escape from our harsh \"realities\".\r\n\r\nWhat might be possible if we simply let go of fear-based thinking altogether for a moment, and instead simply connected to our wise heart, trusting the perfection of each \"now\" moment? What if we were to let go of all expectations and open our heart to the miracle of life?\r\n\r\nThis is about surrendering to the moment of now, to love, to our heart -- not about giving up -- rather, allowing \"what is\" to be ok, to see the perfection of \"right now\".\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 11-17 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly.

We wish to form those connections in a spirit of harmony, sensitivity and equality. In fact, we generally tend to have a strong sense of fairness at this time, and want to be around people who share these values.\r\n\r\nWe also thoroughly enjoy the written and spoken word -- literature, wordplay, puns, moving conversations -- especially when the words are imaginative and speak of something romantic, inspiring, spiritual or creative.<span style=\"color: #993300;\">\r\n</span>\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>?

Remember: what you can do for yourself, you can do for others more easily, and vice versa.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, whatever you do <i>or</i> don\'t communicate: cut yourself a little slack. Being human means making mistakes from time to time; there is no shame in that -- we always learn the most from our mistakes -- mistakes are our gold.\r\n\r\nDouble-check: does avoiding or judging my past mistakes actually serve me? Or anyone else? Could I be open to the possibility that all \"mistakes\" -- past, present and future -- exist to serve my evolution?  If that were true: what would need reevaluating?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 24-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

Social situations might feel awkward.\r\n\r\nWe may experience emotional triggers, so as best as you can, bring compassion and understanding to yourself, to others, and to those past experiences that wounded you. We need to learn to love ourselves, and heal deep fears of being \"not good enough\". Healing happens much faster when we are open to forgiving and embracing ourselves exactly as we are (and are not).\r\n\r\nFor those of you who want to have a better understanding of your personal healing journey, feel free to get the recording of my recent <b>Chiron-workshop: \"Healing with Astrology\" . </b>Join any of my memberships and receive this recording for FREE (value $30):<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\">Click here for more info</a>.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 24-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

Self-Care is key ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 4:51pm EST, </strong>we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for almost 7 hours, <strong>until 11:42pm EST. </strong>Use this intuitive time to make adjustments and (as best as you can) find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. Make space both for going after your vision and for taking care of emotional or family issues.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday evening ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon squares Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 11:42pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <b>until Wednesday night/Thursday <strong>very early morning</strong>. </b>We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising.\r\n\r\nWe all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-) So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can.\r\n\r\nFun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (Feb. 27th): </strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving </i></span><strong><b><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><i>Leo </i>all day</span> </b></strong>(see Monday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday early morning</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Pluto aspect </em>becomes exact at 5:20am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Sunday evening on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday evening. </strong>We have an opportunity here, to bring all of our passion to what we value most -- to build something with spiritual or creative value.\r\n\r\nThis could be a powerful and passionate time in our romantic relationships. We have the opportunity to build something long-term and bring a good dose of faith to that process. Remember: this is an \"opportunity\" -- opportunities aren\'t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio or Taurus</i></b><i>?

This is a chance to have some discussions that have been overdue.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, make it a productive discussion that serves you and others -- a win-win -- otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards. Also, watch out on the road for some crazy drivers… rushing might not necessarily get us there faster ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in </i><i>17-23 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Pisces, Sagittarius,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late evening</strong>, <em>an opportune Mercury/Pluto aspect </em>becomes exact at 11:42pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday morning. </strong>This aspect is an opportunity to deepen or transform areas of our lives that need it.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also an opportunity to do more research, so we can build something meaningful, all while learning about our authentic motivations. Remember: opportunities aren\'t on \"automatic\"... we have to go after them, realize them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point or personal planets in 18-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Taurus</i></b><i>?

We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<b> </b>This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the</i> <em>Full Moon</em> (exact later this evening).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 6:22am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday evening on; it will remain strong until this Saturday evening. </strong>Harmony and goodwill reign under this influence. We experience expansive feelings in love and a feeling that anything is possible if we set our sights high enough.\r\n\r\nWe are more likely to be friendly, open, and optimistic -- it\'s a great time for winning people\'s trust, making it much easier to make social contacts. We believe in our relationships and we have faith that all is going to work out for the best.\r\n\r\nWe might feel an urge to connect to people from other countries or foreign cultures, just to have an adventure, or widen our horizons. Financially, there might be a tendency to spend more than usual, as we feel confident that an abundance of resources is available to us. The thing to watch out for is the feeling that we don\'t have to actually do anything to \"cash in\".\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">That said, there are plenty of opportunities to be had, financial and otherwise, especially in connection with spiritual or creative endeavors, Businesses/partnerships that deal with intimacy or transformational work, the film, fashion and music industry, and educational businesses or endeavors and the travel industry -- connected to the above mentioned areas -- are also highlighted ;-)</span>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or <b>Cancer</b></i><i>? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\nAs mentioned above, the Moon’s entrance<i> </i>into<i> </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b> on Thursday very early morning started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon </i>that will be \"exact\" today<b> (Thursday), at 7:51pm EST, </b><i>in 11 degrees of</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b>.\r\n\r\n<em>A Full Moon</em> is always an opposition between the Moon and the Sun. During these oppositions, we seek balance, alignment and integration around two perspectives that seem like polar opposites; very often we experience this (and achieve it) through our interactions with others... so relationships of all kinds are highlighted during Full Moons. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/discernment-from-the-heart/\">Feel free to also watch my video for more:</a> https://youtu.be/omEJwbuQZwA\r\n\r\nToday, the Moon in <b>Virgo </b>opposes the Sun in <b>Pisces.</b> Virgo seeks personal wholeness; Pisces reminds us of an even greater wholeness — our divinity and interconnectedness with all of life.\r\n\r\nVirgo benefits from apprenticeship, whereas Pisces learns to trust inner guidance above all else -- when balanced, we are able to discern without judgment, serve without obligation, and love all of creation, including ourselves. Virgo analyzes, Pisces feels. We are invited to discern what\'s real, so we can make healthier choices.\r\n\r\nTo find the <i>balance between </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> and </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, ask yourself: Where do I need to be more selective? Where do I need to be more accepting? How can I tap into my inner knowingness and make practical choices? What if “choosing\" was already (and always) in alignment with divine timing?\r\n\r\nAll Full Moons bring awareness to a polarity, and this illuminates the shadow sides of both signs (in this case Virgo and Pisces).\r\n\r\nVirgo\'s shadow side is \"Judgement\", as this creates separation from others and a split within ourselves. It closes our heart. It limits our ability to learn. It keeps us stuck in duality, defending our position or attacking others. It\'s showing up when we label things as good or bad, rather than seeing them in terms of useful or unproductive.\r\n\r\nWhen we draw on the higher vibrations of Pisces we can more easily connect with the higher vibration of Virgo. Pisces\'s best qualities are compassion, intuitiveness, open-heartedness, inspirational creativity and imagination. At its best, Pisces understands that we are all souls in various states of development, doing the best we can.\r\n\r\nThe shadow side of Pisces is a lack of boundaries, ambiguity, escapism, helplessness or victimization; when we draw on the best qualities of Virgo we can move back into the higher vibration of Pisces again. Virgo\'s best qualities are the ability to choose wisely, and discern objectively what works and what doesn\'t.\r\n\r\nWhen both sides are integrated well, we have the acuity and sharpness of the mind, united with the wisdom of our heart and our intuitive guidance.\r\n\r\nWhat if I could find the synergy between my emotional, intuitive understanding and my rational, scientific understanding? Do I really have to choose between scientific facts and intuitive knowingness... What if I could have both? How might that be possible?\r\n\r\nFor the next two weeks, Virgo asks us to become aware of the clutter that is distracting us from our priorities; ask yourself: What in my current daily life is nourishing? And what might be toxic?\r\n\r\nVirgo\'s highest vibration is also about Service. To be of service, we must acquire discernment — not judgement, not criticism, not perfectionism, but the ability to focus objectively on what is helpful, and set aside the rest. In order to serve, we have to first realize that we have something to offer.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What if I didn\'t have to be perfect to be of service? What might I notice if I were 5% more mindful of my inner dialog? What if I brought 5% more compassion to myself? Even to my inner critic?\r\n\r\nThe last New Moon (on February 15th) was a Solar Eclipse, signaling the ending and beginning of a 19-year cycle. It shows us what remains to be healed, integrated, or released in order for us to take the next big step on our Soul\'s path.\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun, Neptune, Mercury, Venus and Chiron are all in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, drawing us inward, to be in silence and solitude as much as possible. We are to hear the quiet truth of our intuition and release what no longer serves our Soul\'s growth.\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon opposes Neptune, and the Sun conjuncts Neptune...</i> Ask yourself: If I\'m honest with myself, what would I notice that feels draining to me, rather than inspiring? What might happen if I surrendered my personal will 5% more to divine will? Could I be open to receiving guidance directly from my higher Self, my Soul-Self? If my feelings had words and could speak, what would they say? What would my dreams say? What message might my intuition have to give me?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>, conjunct Venus (exalted in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>):</i> Everything is made up of energy and therefore interconnected. If we can recognize that we all do the best we can, at any given time, and that on a spiritual level there are no mistakes, only experiences, we can learn about empathy -- and our brain will literally rewire itself towards compassion, rather than criticism.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What might be possible if I allowed my mind to be just 5% more relaxed? What if I stood in allowing, curiosity, and creative spaciousness? Am I currently using my imagination to inspire or scare myself? Do I have a tendency to go towards the worst case scenarios, or best case scenarios? What might \"love\" choose?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury/Venus alignment also conjuncts Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces --</i></b> this is an opportunity for healing: Chiron, the wounded healer, reminds us that anything can heal through the power of acceptance and love, and that healing happens by reclaiming and re-integrating those parts of ourselves that seem limited or \"imperfect\".\r\n\r\nCheck to see: do I feel unloved? Unworthy? Simply not good enough? And if I have those feelings, could I allow them simply to be here, just for right now? Could I be open to the possibility that these feelings are coming up right now, to be acknowledged and released?\r\n\r\nCheck to see if you are maybe revisiting themes from late January and from April of last year, when Venus was conjunct Chiron in Pisces. Ask yourself: What was present in my relationships with others back then? Or my relationship with the divine? Did I have any realizations? Any understanding of what needs to heal further?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury/Venus/Chiron alignment trines Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio </i></b><i>(stationing at the time of the FM, therefore exalted).</i> This supports a connection to our emotional/spiritual body.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How might a deeper, authentic, emotional approach support my connection to my divinity and my related healing process? What new perspectives or higher truths might I find?\r\n\r\nIf I looked at my human limitations through the lens of the human-soul alliance, is it at least possible that this would deepen my relationships with others?\r\n\r\nWe will also go into Jupiter\'s movement in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the Jupiter Station and Retrograde phase is going to impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up to our own birth charts.\r\n\r\nThe next Forum is next week <b>Friday</b>, <b>March 2nd, 2018 at </b>12pm<b> </b>PST/<b> 3pm EST</b>/8pm GMT (London-time). To join for FREE, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/JLFckh\">become a Star or SuperStar Member</a> on my site: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/JLFckh\">https://goo.gl/JLFckh</a> For more info about the Forums, or to register as at the regular fee, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">click here</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">https://goo.gl/wrs4H3</a>.\r\n\r\n<i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> squares the Mercury/Venus/Chiron alignment in </i><b><i>Pisces.</i></b> Squares always ask us to stretch and grow -- this particular square, with <i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> vs. Mercury/Venus in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>is all about fast vs. slow, extroverted vs. introverted, physical vs. emotional inspiration, impulsive vs. thoughtful, meditative vs. direct, straightforward vs. ambiguous or long-winded. Phew.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What would it look like if I could walk my talk 5% more, instead of getting caught up in idealized phantasies or dreams? What if I looked within before leaping into action? What daily practice could support my looking before I leap? What if my truths applied to me only? How might this contribute to my inner peace?\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon invites us to \"be love\" in thought and action. It also reminds us that our mindfulness and open heart make a difference, not only in our own life, but in the world. Before taking action (or if you are simply feeling ambitious about something) ask yourself: What would love do? What would my heart say, if it had words and could speak?\r\n\r\nRather than pushing, over-thinking or giving up, I invite you to conduct small, simple experiments and have faith in universal support…\r\n\r\n<b>For the next two weeks</b>, ask yourself: Where is the balance point of intellect and intuition? Striving and surrender? What if I trusted 5% more in the \"perfect\" outcome?\r\n\r\n<i>To sum it all up:</i> This Full Moon reminds us that, no matter what chaos, intensity and craziness might be going on outside of us, we have only to look inside to find our truth, to find peace. It’s in our hearts that we\'ll find what matters -- and what we can believe in whole-heartedly. Peace comes from within, from each one of us... We are what we choose to be in every “moment of now”... so choose wisely!\r\n\r\nAs best as you can therefore, simply observe like a scientist, from a place of neutrality and curiosity. Notice what serves you in the moment.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/discernment-from-the-heart/\">To learn more about additional aspects connected to this month\'s Full Moon, please click here to watch my video:</a> https://youtu.be/omEJwbuQZwA\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point, or personal planets in 9-13 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, this month\'s Full Moon will affect you more; the same is true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (March 2nd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in</em><em> <i>detail-oriented, practical</i></em><em><i> </i></em><strong><em>Virgo</em> all day </strong>(see Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Mercury/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 8:05am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on; it will remain strong until this Saturday night. </strong>During this aspect, we are more optimistic. We see the bigger picture, communicate more positively and readily inspire others.\r\n\r\nWe are tolerant of other perspectives and ideas, naturally avoid narrow-minded thinking, and feel at ease reconnecting with people from all walks of life. We might be drawn to exploring foreign languages, cultures, spiritual practices and countries. What learning would expand your horizons?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or <b>Cancer</b></i><i>? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 6:50pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for 8.5 hours, <strong>until 3:20am EST (Saturday very early morning) .</strong> Use this intuitive time to make clear choices when it comes to relating to others.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday evening/night ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Venus in <strong>Pisces</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 3rd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><em><i>detail-oriented, practical </i></em><strong><em>Virgo</em> </strong>and<strong> <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> until 3:20am EST </strong>(see Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 3:20am EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into harmony-loving, balance-seeking </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>, where<i> </i>it will journey <strong>until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Monday morning (March 5th)</span></strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><b>.</b></span> The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Saturday night,</strong> the <em>Jupiter Station intensifies in 23 degrees of <strong>Scorpio, </strong></em>as it is preparing to come to a halt next week Thursday. This station will last <b>until March 20th</b>.\r\n\r\nJupiter represents our desire to seek insight through deep knowledge. Some of this planet\'s keywords: morality; gratitude; hope; honor; the law. Jupiter is the planet of possibility, optimism, wisdom, understanding and growth (including mental and spiritual growth). Jupiter is also associated with our <i>sense of humor</i>, generosity, tolerance, goodwill, and mercy (<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/feb-19-25/\">see last week\'s blog entry for more details</a>).\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 21-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Taurus, Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> will be more affected by this station. This is also true for those of us with their Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 4th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking </i><strong><b><i>Libra</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Saturday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Sun/Neptune alignment in almost 11 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 8:54am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday morning on; it will remain strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">next week Wednesday morning (March 7th)</span> . </strong>This alignment asks that we slow down and go within, allow for all energies to move through us -- being present and compassionate are the higher vibrations of this alignment -- we are more aware than ever that all things are interconnected.\r\n\r\nFeeling things -- and allowing everyone (ourselves included) to \"have their feelings\" -- is highly recommended. When we start to resist the flow of life, the flow of feeling, we will create fear and suffering. The remedy is to open our hearts and let love flow through us.\r\n\r\nWhen we get quiet and allow ourselves to be still for a moment, we sense our interconnectedness with all living things, our spiritual roots, the sacredness of all.\r\n\r\nIf, on the other hand, we are unable to connect to our divine essence, if we focus only on what\'s outside of us, we will feel separate -- and this illusion of separateness might cause us to look for an escape from our harsh \"realities\".\r\n\r\nWhat might be possible if we simply let go of fear-based thinking altogether for a moment, and instead simply connected to our wise heart, trusting the perfection of each \"now\" moment? What if we were to let go of all expectations and open our heart to the miracle of life?\r\n\r\nThis is about surrendering to the moment of now, to love, to our heart -- not about giving up -- rather, allowing \"what is\" to be ok, to see the perfection of \"right now\".\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b><i>(The Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early afternoon</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Venus alignment in almost 26 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 1:05pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">from Tuesday on</span>; it will remain strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">next week, Thursday evening (March 8th).</span> </strong>This is an excellent time to share about love, compassion, animals, spiritual endeavors, some ideal, music, dreams, meditation techniques -- or anything we feel intuitive connected to -- and also about any teaching endeavors connected to those areas.\r\n\r\nThis alignment supports communicating from a compassionate, intuitive heart -- and in fact, it becomes essential to connect to people with whom we feel a strong affinity. We wish to form those connections in a spirit of harmony, sensitivity and equality. In fact, we generally tend to have a strong sense of fairness at this time, and want to be around people who share these values.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">We also thoroughly enjoy the written and spoken word -- literature, wordplay, puns, moving conversations -- especially when these words are imaginative and speak of something romantic, inspiring, spiritual or creative.\r\n</span>\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Virgo, Gemini, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus  </i></b><i>(Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late afternoon</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Chiron alignment in almost 27.5 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 4:25pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday night on; it will remain strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">next week, Tuesday morning (March 7th)</span>. </strong>This it allows us to communicate our flaws and insecurities, and thereby begin to heal them.\r\n\r\nBringing compassion and understanding to our past wounds can feel very empowering and healing; doing the same for others is going to feel really good. Remember: what you can do for yourself, you can do for others more easily, and vice versa.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, whatever you do <i>or</i> don\'t communicate: cut yourself a little slack. Being human means making mistakes from time to time; there is no shame in that -- we always learn the most from our mistakes -- mistakes are our gold.\r\n\r\nDouble-check: does avoiding or judging my past mistakes actually serve me? Or anyone else? Could I be open to the possibility that all \"mistakes\" -- past, present and future -- exist to serve my evolution?  If that were true: what would need reevaluating?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 24-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

Social situations might feel awkward.\r\n\r\nWe may experience emotional triggers, so as best as you can, bring compassion and understanding to yourself, to others, and to those past experiences that wounded you. We need to learn to love ourselves, and heal deep fears of being \"not good enough\". Healing happens much faster when we are open to forgiving and embracing ourselves exactly as we are (and are not).\r\n\r\nFor those of you who want to have a better understanding of your personal healing journey, feel free to get the recording of my recent <b>Chiron-workshop: \"Healing with Astrology\" . </b>Join any of my memberships and receive this recording for FREE (value $30):<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\">Click here for more info</a>.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 24-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

Self-Care is key ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 4:51pm EST, </strong>we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for almost 7 hours, <strong>until 11:42pm EST. </strong>Use this intuitive time to make adjustments and (as best as you can) find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. Make space both for going after your vision and for taking care of emotional or family issues.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can.\r\n\r\nFun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (Feb. 27th): </strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving </i></span><strong><b><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><i>Leo </i>all day</span> </b></strong>(see Monday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday early morning</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Pluto aspect </em>becomes exact at 5:20am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Sunday evening on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday evening. </strong>We have an opportunity here, to bring all of our passion to what we value most -- to build something with spiritual or creative value.\r\n\r\nThis could be a powerful and passionate time in our romantic relationships. We have the opportunity to build something long-term and bring a good dose of faith to that process.

Also, watch out on the road for some crazy drivers… rushing might not necessarily get us there faster ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in </i><i>17-23 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Pisces, Sagittarius,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late evening</strong>, <em>an opportune Mercury/Pluto aspect </em>becomes exact at 11:42pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday morning. </strong>This aspect is an opportunity to deepen or transform areas of our lives that need it.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also an opportunity to do more research, so we can build something meaningful, all while learning about our authentic motivations. Remember: opportunities aren\'t on \"automatic\"... we have to go after them, realize them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point or personal planets in 18-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.

We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<b> </b>This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the</i> <em>Full Moon</em> (exact later this evening).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 6:22am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday evening on; it will remain strong until this Saturday evening. </strong>Harmony and goodwill reign under this influence. We experience expansive feelings in love and a feeling that anything is possible if we set our sights high enough.\r\n\r\nWe are more likely to be friendly, open, and optimistic -- it\'s a great time for winning people\'s trust, making it much easier to make social contacts. We believe in our relationships and we have faith that all is going to work out for the best.\r\n\r\nWe might feel an urge to connect to people from other countries or foreign cultures, just to have an adventure, or widen our horizons. Financially, there might be a tendency to spend more than usual, as we feel confident that an abundance of resources is available to us. The thing to watch out for is the feeling that we don\'t have to actually do anything to \"cash in\".\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">That said, there are plenty of opportunities to be had, financial and otherwise, especially in connection with spiritual or creative endeavors, Businesses/partnerships that deal with intimacy or transformational work, the film, fashion and music industry, and educational businesses or endeavors and the travel industry -- connected to the above mentioned areas -- are also highlighted ;-)</span>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or <b>Cancer</b></i><i>? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\nAs mentioned above, the Moon’s entrance<i> </i>into<i> </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b> on Thursday very early morning started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon </i>that will be \"exact\" today<b> (Thursday), at 7:51pm EST, </b><i>in 11 degrees of</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b>.\r\n\r\n<em>A Full Moon</em> is always an opposition between the Moon and the Sun. During these oppositions, we seek balance, alignment and integration around two perspectives that seem like polar opposites; very often we experience this (and achieve it) through our interactions with others... so relationships of all kinds are highlighted during Full Moons. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/discernment-from-the-heart/\">Feel free to also watch my video for more:</a> https://youtu.be/omEJwbuQZwA\r\n\r\nToday, the Moon in <b>Virgo </b>opposes the Sun in <b>Pisces.</b> Virgo seeks personal wholeness; Pisces reminds us of an even greater wholeness — our divinity and interconnectedness with all of life.\r\n\r\nVirgo benefits from apprenticeship, whereas Pisces learns to trust inner guidance above all else -- when balanced, we are able to discern without judgment, serve without obligation, and love all of creation, including ourselves. Virgo analyzes, Pisces feels. We are invited to discern what\'s real, so we can make healthier choices.\r\n\r\nTo find the <i>balance between </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> and </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, ask yourself: Where do I need to be more selective? Where do I need to be more accepting? How can I tap into my inner knowingness and make practical choices? What if “choosing\" was already (and always) in alignment with divine timing?\r\n\r\nAll Full Moons bring awareness to a polarity, and this illuminates the shadow sides of both signs (in this case Virgo and Pisces).\r\n\r\nVirgo\'s shadow side is \"Judgement\", as this creates separation from others and a split within ourselves. It closes our heart. It limits our ability to learn. It keeps us stuck in duality, defending our position or attacking others. It\'s showing up when we label things as good or bad, rather than seeing them in terms of useful or unproductive.\r\n\r\nWhen we draw on the higher vibrations of Pisces we can more easily connect with the higher vibration of Virgo. Pisces\'s best qualities are compassion, intuitiveness, open-heartedness, inspirational creativity and imagination. At its best, Pisces understands that we are all souls in various states of development, doing the best we can.\r\n\r\nThe shadow side of Pisces is a lack of boundaries, ambiguity, escapism, helplessness or victimization; when we draw on the best qualities of Virgo we can move back into the higher vibration of Pisces again. Virgo\'s best qualities are the ability to choose wisely, and discern objectively what works and what doesn\'t.\r\n\r\nWhen both sides are integrated well, we have the acuity and sharpness of the mind, united with the wisdom of our heart and our intuitive guidance.\r\n\r\nWhat if I could find the synergy between my emotional, intuitive understanding and my rational, scientific understanding? Do I really have to choose between scientific facts and intuitive knowingness... What if I could have both? How might that be possible?\r\n\r\nFor the next two weeks, Virgo asks us to become aware of the clutter that is distracting us from our priorities; ask yourself: What in my current daily life is nourishing? And what might be toxic?\r\n\r\nVirgo\'s highest vibration is also about Service. To be of service, we must acquire discernment — not judgement, not criticism, not perfectionism, but the ability to focus objectively on what is helpful, and set aside the rest. In order to serve, we have to first realize that we have something to offer.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What if I didn\'t have to be perfect to be of service? What might I notice if I were 5% more mindful of my inner dialog? What if I brought 5% more compassion to myself? Even to my inner critic?\r\n\r\nThe last New Moon (on February 15th) was a Solar Eclipse, signaling the ending and beginning of a 19-year cycle. It shows us what remains to be healed, integrated, or released in order for us to take the next big step on our Soul\'s path.\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun, Neptune, Mercury, Venus and Chiron are all in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, drawing us inward, to be in silence and solitude as much as possible. We are to hear the quiet truth of our intuition and release what no longer serves our Soul\'s growth.\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon opposes Neptune, and the Sun conjuncts Neptune...</i> Ask yourself: If I\'m honest with myself, what would I notice that feels draining to me, rather than inspiring? What might happen if I surrendered my personal will 5% more to divine will? Could I be open to receiving guidance directly from my higher Self, my Soul-Self? If my feelings had words and could speak, what would they say? What would my dreams say? What message might my intuition have to give me?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>, conjunct Venus (exalted in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>):</i> Everything is made up of energy and therefore interconnected. If we can recognize that we all do the best we can, at any given time, and that on a spiritual level there are no mistakes, only experiences, we can learn about empathy -- and our brain will literally rewire itself towards compassion, rather than criticism.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What might be possible if I allowed my mind to be just 5% more relaxed? What if I stood in allowing, curiosity, and creative spaciousness? Am I currently using my imagination to inspire or scare myself? Do I have a tendency to go towards the worst case scenarios, or best case scenarios? What might \"love\" choose?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury/Venus alignment also conjuncts Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces --</i></b> this is an opportunity for healing: Chiron, the wounded healer, reminds us that anything can heal through the power of acceptance and love, and that healing happens by reclaiming and re-integrating those parts of ourselves that seem limited or \"imperfect\".\r\n\r\nCheck to see: do I feel unloved? Unworthy? Simply not good enough? And if I have those feelings, could I allow them simply to be here, just for right now? Could I be open to the possibility that these feelings are coming up right now, to be acknowledged and released?\r\n\r\nCheck to see if you are maybe revisiting themes from late January and from April of last year, when Venus was conjunct Chiron in Pisces. Ask yourself: What was present in my relationships with others back then? Or my relationship with the divine? Did I have any realizations? Any understanding of what needs to heal further?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury/Venus/Chiron alignment trines Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio </i></b><i>(stationing at the time of the FM, therefore exalted).</i> This supports a connection to our emotional/spiritual body.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How might a deeper, authentic, emotional approach support my connection to my divinity and my related healing process? What new perspectives or higher truths might I find?\r\n\r\nIf I looked at my human limitations through the lens of the human-soul alliance, is it at least possible that this would deepen my relationships with others?\r\n\r\nWe will also go into Jupiter\'s movement in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the Jupiter Station and Retrograde phase is going to impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up to our own birth charts.\r\n\r\nThe next Forum is next week <b>Friday</b>, <b>March 2nd, 2018 at </b>12pm<b> </b>PST/<b> 3pm EST</b>/8pm GMT (London-time). To join for FREE, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/JLFckh\">become a Star or SuperStar Member</a> on my site: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/JLFckh\">https://goo.gl/JLFckh</a> For more info about the Forums, or to register as at the regular fee, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">click here</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">https://goo.gl/wrs4H3</a>.\r\n\r\n<i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> squares the Mercury/Venus/Chiron alignment in </i><b><i>Pisces.</i></b> Squares always ask us to stretch and grow -- this particular square, with <i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> vs. Mercury/Venus in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>is all about fast vs. slow, extroverted vs. introverted, physical vs. emotional inspiration, impulsive vs. thoughtful, meditative vs. direct, straightforward vs. ambiguous or long-winded. Phew.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What would it look like if I could walk my talk 5% more, instead of getting caught up in idealized phantasies or dreams? What if I looked within before leaping into action? What daily practice could support my looking before I leap? What if my truths applied to me only? How might this contribute to my inner peace?\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon invites us to \"be love\" in thought and action. It also reminds us that our mindfulness and open heart make a difference, not only in our own life, but in the world. Before taking action (or if you are simply feeling ambitious about something) ask yourself: What would love do? What would my heart say, if it had words and could speak?\r\n\r\nRather than pushing, over-thinking or giving up, I invite you to conduct small, simple experiments and have faith in universal support…\r\n\r\n<b>For the next two weeks</b>, ask yourself: Where is the balance point of intellect and intuition? Striving and surrender? What if I trusted 5% more in the \"perfect\" outcome?\r\n\r\n<i>To sum it all up:</i> This Full Moon reminds us that, no matter what chaos, intensity and craziness might be going on outside of us, we have only to look inside to find our truth, to find peace. It’s in our hearts that we\'ll find what matters -- and what we can believe in whole-heartedly. Peace comes from within, from each one of us... We are what we choose to be in every “moment of now”... so choose wisely!\r\n\r\nAs best as you can therefore, simply observe like a scientist, from a place of neutrality and curiosity. Notice what serves you in the moment.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/discernment-from-the-heart/\">To learn more about all aspects connected to this month\'s Full Moon, please click here to watch my video:</a> https://youtu.be/omEJwbuQZwA\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point, or personal planets in 9-13 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>?

We see the bigger picture, communicate more positively and readily inspire others.\r\n\r\nWe are tolerant of other perspectives and ideas, naturally avoid narrow-minded thinking, and feel at ease reconnecting with people from all walks of life. We might be drawn to exploring foreign languages, cultures, spiritual practices and countries. What learning would expand your horizons?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or <b>Cancer</b></i><i>?

You may also want to plan Friday evening/night ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Venus in <strong>Pisces</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 3rd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><em><i>detail-oriented, practical </i></em><strong><em>Virgo</em> </strong>and<strong> <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> until 3:20am EST </strong>(see Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 3:20am EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into harmony-loving, balance-seeking </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>, where<i> </i>it will journey <strong>until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Monday morning (March 5th)</span></strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><b>.</b></span> The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Saturday night,</strong> the <em>Jupiter Station intensifies in 23 degrees of <strong>Scorpio, </strong></em>as it is preparing to come to a halt next week Thursday. This station will last <b>until March 20th</b>.\r\n\r\nJupiter represents our desire to seek insight through deep knowledge. Some of this planet\'s keywords: morality; gratitude; hope; honor; the law. Jupiter is the planet of possibility, optimism, wisdom, understanding and growth (including mental and spiritual growth). Jupiter is also associated with our <i>sense of humor</i>, generosity, tolerance, goodwill, and mercy (<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/feb-19-25/\">see last week\'s blog entry for more details</a>).\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 21-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Taurus, Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> will be more affected by this station. This is also true for those of us with their Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 4th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking </i><strong><b><i>Libra</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Saturday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Sun/Neptune alignment in <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">almost 14 degrees</span> of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 8:54am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday morning on; it will remain strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">next week Wednesday morning (March 7th)</span> . </strong>This alignment asks that we slow down and go within, allow for all energies to move through us -- being present and compassionate are the higher vibrations of this alignment -- we are more aware than ever that all things are interconnected.\r\n\r\nFeeling things -- and allowing everyone (ourselves included) to \"have their feelings\" -- is highly recommended. When we start to resist the flow of life, the flow of feeling, we will create fear and suffering. The remedy is to open our hearts and let love flow through us.\r\n\r\nWhen we get quiet and allow ourselves to be still for a moment, we sense our interconnectedness with all living things, our spiritual roots, the sacredness of all.\r\n\r\nIf, on the other hand, we are unable to connect to our divine essence, if we focus only on what\'s outside of us, we will feel separate -- and this illusion of separateness might cause us to look for an escape from our harsh \"realities\".\r\n\r\nWhat might be possible if we simply let go of fear-based thinking altogether for a moment, and instead simply connected to our wise heart, trusting the perfection of each \"now\" moment? What if we were to let go of all expectations and open our heart to the miracle of life?\r\n\r\nThis is about surrendering to the moment of now, to love, to our heart -- not about giving up -- rather, allowing \"what is\" to be ok, to see the perfection of \"right now\".\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 11-17 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b><i>(The Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early afternoon</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Venus alignment in almost 26 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 1:05pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">from Tuesday on</span>; it will remain strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">next week, Thursday evening (March 8th).</span> </strong>This is an excellent time to share about love, compassion, animals, spiritual endeavors, some ideal, music, dreams, meditation techniques -- or anything we feel intuitive connected to -- and also about any teaching endeavors connected to those areas.\r\n\r\nThis alignment supports communicating from a compassionate, intuitive heart -- and in fact, it becomes essential to connect to people with whom we feel a strong affinity. We wish to form those connections in a spirit of harmony, sensitivity and equality. In fact, we generally tend to have a strong sense of fairness at this time, and want to be around people who share these values.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">We also thoroughly enjoy the written and spoken word -- literature, wordplay, puns, moving conversations -- especially when these words are imaginative and speak of something romantic, inspiring, spiritual or creative.\r\n</span>\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>?

Remember: what you can do for yourself, you can do for others more easily, and vice versa.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, whatever you do <i>or</i> don\'t communicate: cut yourself a little slack. Being human means making mistakes from time to time; there is no shame in that -- we always learn the most from our mistakes -- mistakes are our gold.\r\n\r\nDouble-check: does avoiding or judging my past mistakes actually serve me? Or anyone else? Could I be open to the possibility that all \"mistakes\" -- past, present and future -- exist to serve my evolution?  If that were true: what would need reevaluating?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 24-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

Social situations might feel awkward.\r\n\r\nWe may experience emotional triggers, so as best as you can, bring compassion and understanding to yourself, to others, and to those past experiences that wounded you. We need to learn to love ourselves, and heal deep fears of being \"not good enough\". Healing happens much faster when we are open to forgiving and embracing ourselves exactly as we are (and are not).\r\n\r\nFor those of you who want to have a better understanding of your personal healing journey, feel free to get the recording of my recent <b>Chiron-workshop: \"Healing with Astrology\" . </b>Join any of my memberships and receive this recording for FREE (value $30):<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\">Click here for more info</a>.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 24-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at...\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\r\n<strong> GET IT ALL!

It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late morning</strong>, <em>a Mars/Saturn alignment in almost 9 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> becomes exact at 11:44am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last Thursday (March 29th) on, it will be strong until this Saturday (April 7th)</strong>. This is a message to take it slow and steady and bring some focus to our endeavors.\r\n\r\nThe last Mars/Saturn cycle started in late August 2016 (in almost 10 degrees of Sagittarius), it is now coming to an end -- and the new cycle will last until late March 2020.\r\n\r\nWe need to learn to harness our enthusiasm and look at the reality of things. If we want to make progress right now, we need to take it one step at a time. As best as you can, be sure to build a solid foundation before zooming ahead.\r\n\r\nGiven that this alignment is taking place in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, we are invited to take a closer look at real-world, long-term physical manifestation, and at the practical implications of our actions. We must recognize that an undivided focus on such things can help us achieve our goals just as much as our talents and ambition.\r\n\r\nThis is also a great time to commit to a new project connected to social responsibilities, or career building; it could also be connected to government or social structures.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What would a stable foundation for my projects look like? What is something truly responsible I could do (small or large)?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in 6-12 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></i><b><i><strong>,</strong> Cancer, Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i> will be most affected by this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> (Mars rules Aries; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\nAlso, <b>Monday before 12pm EDT</b>: last chance to sign up for my MONTHLY FORECASTING FORUM -- live<b> at </b>10am PST/<b>1pm EDT</b>/6pm BST (London-time).<b> Please note that Saturn and Pluto will Station and go Retrograde in April, and Mars, the warrior archetype, will be part of this mix as we\'ll. </b>If you want to know how these planetary movements are going to impact you personally, join me live or sign up for your mp4-video recording.\r\n\r\nOther than <a href=\"http://goo.gl/D0P2Rk\">booking a reading</a> with me, this is the highest level of support you can get -- and it\'s now $37 for the 90+ minute webinar. <b>If you would like to join live</b>, please keep in mind that <b>registration will close an hour before the live event begins</b>, if you register after 12pm EDT on Monday you will receive the mp4-video recording of the webinar.\r\n\r\n<strong>To join for FREE</strong>, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\">become a Star or SuperStar Member</a> on my site.\r\n<strong><a href=\"http://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">To register at the regular fee and get access to the Members-only Full Moon video, click here</a></strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Already a Member?</strong> You will receive an invitation to join us live automatically via email and a recording within 24-hours of the live event (also via email).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (April 3rd)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em> <strong>all day </strong>(see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 12:06pm EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 15 hours, <strong>until 2:55am EDT (Wednesday very early morning)</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with others on a deep emotional level, and explore greater truths about your ability to make those authentic connections.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (April 4th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><strong> until 2:55am EDT </strong>(see Monday and Tuesday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 2:55am EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i>, </b>where it will journey<i> <strong>until Friday afternoon</strong></i><b>. </b>We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:05am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Sunday evening (April 1st) on; it will remain strong until this Saturday </strong><b>morning.</b> This aspect<i> </i>could bring some juicy energy to our conversations -- a chance to have some discussions that have been overdue.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, make it a productive discussion that serves you and others -- a win-win -- otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards. Also, watch out on the road for some crazy drivers… rushing might not necessarily get us there faster ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 7-13 degrees</i><i> of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this aspect more strongly than otherwise.</i><i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (April 5th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Sagittarius</strong> </em><strong>all day </strong>(see Wednesday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:22am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Sunday morning (April 1st) on; it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening (April 9th). </strong>Due to the Mercury Retrograde phase, we get to experience this aspect several times; this is the second pass within the last 25 days. This gives us a chance to address our approach toward any misunderstandings.\r\n\r\nThis aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature. Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps? Is there anything that came up in mid March that needs to be readdressed? If so, this is your chance... ;-)\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to your passions, while remaining committed to exploring them one step at a time. What is my life calling me to explore? Could I go for it (one step at a time)?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 6-12 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn,  Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Saturn rules Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (April 6th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Sagittarius</strong> </em><strong>until 2:01pm EDT </strong>(see Wednesday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 9:36am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 4.5 hours, <strong>until 2:01pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self — explore, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday morning and afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 2:01pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <b>until Monday very early morning</b>.<b> </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it\'s still transiting through Sagittarius until Tuesday late evening, making this a great time to take a long, last look at our belief structures, explore limiting beliefs and bust through conditioned thought structures. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at the \"meaning of life\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, be authentic about your beliefs: Do they actually match your direct experience of life -- as it is for you now, rather than 5 or 10 years ago? What is true as of now? What is not? This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Sunday very early morning).\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Friday, </b><i>Pluto slows down (or \"stations\")</i>, getting ready to come to a halt on April 22nd, when it will begin its 5-month retrograde phase. This makes its energy more exalted in the sky <strong>for</strong> <strong>the next 4 weeks</strong><i>. </i>When an outer planet stations, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us -- and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\r\n\r\nPluto is associated with our soul purpose. It relates to the process of empowerment -- our ability to feel empowered from within, through the experience of wholeness -- and to our deepest passions. It is also associated with transformation, for example our ability to transform darkness into light or \"death\" into \"rebirth\". Those terms don\'t necessarily refer to physical death or rebirth, but rather some sort of ending and beginning.\r\n\r\nTo get to a place of truthfulness on the soul level, Pluto will remove what no longer serves us, replacing it with something new -- something fully aligned with our deepest passions and soul purpose. When we resist the deep changes Pluto brings, we tend to suffer; on the other hand, when we surrender and allow for that process to take place, we will move to a place of greater authenticity -- and feel a newness and empowerment from within.\r\n\r\nThe Pluto station in <strong>Capricorn</strong> amplifies our need for accomplishment and authenticity in the world that we are building not only for ourselves, but for future generations. It also sends a message about empowering ourselves and transforming anything that is no longer congruent with our long-term-goals.\r\n\r\nBecause we are placing so much focus on building and succeeding, we need to be extra aware of how much self-care we are allowing ourselves to receive at this time: as best you can, allow balance between striving for accomplishment and nurturing yourself. Reach out for support if you start to feel burned out or find yourself going down the \"rabbit-hole\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take a closer look at whatever is \"in your face\" <b>for the next 4 weeks.</b> Look for what might no longer be in alignment with your soul\'s purpose (your deep authentic Self). Ask yourself: Where am I holding on, out of fear? What habits, behaviors or fears are holding me back from feeling fully empowered from within? What would it look like, if I was fully aligned with my Soul-purpose? How would it feel? When we confront our fears we very often discover hidden gifts and strengths.\r\n\r\nYou might also want to watch my latest Forum; we looked at the Pluto station in relationship to our birth charts. Other than <a href=\"http://goo.gl/D0P2Rk\">booking a reading</a> with me, the Forum is the highest level of support you can get -- and it\'s only $37 for the \"90+ minute\" webinar. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product-category/webinars/\">Click here to add the April Forecasting Forum to your cart.</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Aries, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this station more strongly.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio). </i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (April 7th)</strong>: t<em>he Moon remains in <i>practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><strong>Capricorn</strong> </em><strong>all day </strong>(see Friday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday late morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 9:37am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on; it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening (April 9th). </strong>This signals a time when we don\'t take connections with others lightly; we are more attracted to long-term commitment than to \"casual\".\r\n\r\nWe feel a strong sense of responsibility to loved ones and see ourselves generally as responsible and trustworthy. We have increased sensitivity to the needs of others. Mutual respect and loyalty become especially important to us at this time; this can strengthen and refresh old friendships too.\r\n\r\nWe bring more maturity, respect and integrity to interactions -- and this is a good time to approach \"elders\" and authority figures for their input. This doesn\'t have to be \"solemn\" though: What if you connected to yourself and others for appreciation of the little things that bring beauty and peace? If a flower had a message about the process of maturing, what might that message be? What might a tree have to say on the subject?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 6-12 degrees of</i><b><i> Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be blessed by this aspect more than others.

However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to April 15th New Moon in <b>Aries</b>. With the last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us to take a look at what needs to be completed. What -- if anything -- needs last-minute adjustments? What did you discover since March 17th? What did it mean for you?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 16-21 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Aries, Libra, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s last Quarter Moon.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 10:40pm EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 4 hours, <strong>until 2:50am EDT </strong>(Monday very early morning). You may be aware of two seemingly conflicting desires: On the one hand, a need for serious, diligent accomplishment -- and on the other, a desire to break free and rebel against obligations.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday evening/night ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (April 9th)</strong>: t<em>he Moon remains in <i>practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><strong>Capricorn</strong> </em>and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><em> </em><strong>until 2:50am EDT </strong>(see Friday afternoon and Sunday late evening for details). <strong>Monday at 2:50am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon moves into <strong>Aquarius</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday afternoon</strong>. <strong>Also on Monday</strong>, <em>Saturn begins its station phase at 9 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> (until April 24th). More about all the details in next week’s forecast ;-)\r\n<h3><b>One Last Announcement:</b></h3>\r\nLast chance to join me for my next FORECASTING FORUM, <b>Monday</b>, <b>April 2nd, 2018 at </b>10am<b> </b>PDT/<b> 1pm EDT</b>/6pm BST (London-time).<b> Please note </b>that we will be talking about the upcoming<b> Station </b>and<b> Retrograde phases in April: </b>Saturn stations and goes retrograde in 9º of Capricorn, Pluto stations and goes retrograde in 21º of Capricorn.

So much water, so many feelings coming up, floods everywhere, both literal or metaphorical, flushing out systems. All I wanted to do was go within and baby myself... and then the first Quarter Moon in Gemini happened on Friday... so it was more about continuously emailing and communicating with everybody instead :-)\r\n\r\n<b>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have two quick announcements: </b>\r\nLast chance to join my <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-live/\">next Forecasting Forum, </a>live this Friday at 3pm EST (more details at the very bottom of the blog)… and <em>only one more week</em> before my Weekly Forecasts and my Full Moon videos are only available via my new online community.

Self-Care is key ;-)<!--more-->\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 4:51pm EST, </strong>we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for almost 7 hours, <strong>until 11:42pm EST. </strong>Use this intuitive time to make adjustments and (as best as you can) find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. Make space both for going after your vision and for taking care of emotional or family issues.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 11:42pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <b>until Wednesday night/Thursday <strong>very early morning</strong>. </b>We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising.\r\n\r\nWe all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-) So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can.\r\n\r\nFun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (Feb. 27th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving </i><strong><b><i>Leo </i>all day </b></strong>(see Monday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday early morning</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Pluto aspect </em>becomes exact at 5:20am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Sunday evening on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday evening. </strong>We have an opportunity here, to bring all of our passion to what we value most -- to build something with spiritual or creative value.\r\n\r\nThis could be a powerful and passionate time in our romantic relationships. We have the opportunity to build something long-term and bring a good dose of faith to that process. Remember: this is an \"opportunity\" -- opportunities aren\'t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio or Taurus</i></b><i>?

Remember: opportunities aren\'t on \"automatic\"... we have to go after them, realize them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point or personal planets in 18-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Taurus</i></b><i>?

We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<b> </b>This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the</i> <em>Full Moon</em> (exact later this evening).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 6:22am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday evening on; it will remain strong until this Saturday evening. </strong>Harmony and goodwill reign under this influence. We experience expansive feelings in love and a feeling that anything is possible if we set our sights high enough.\r\n\r\nWe are more likely to be friendly, open, and optimistic -- it\'s a great time for winning people\'s trust, making it much easier to make social contacts. We believe in our relationships and we have faith that all is going to work out for the best.\r\n\r\nWe might feel an urge to connect to people from other countries or foreign cultures, just to have an adventure, or widen our horizons. Financially, there might be a tendency to spend more than usual, as we feel confident that an abundance of resources is available to us. The thing to watch out for is the feeling that we don\'t have to actually do anything to \"cash in\".\r\n\r\nThat said, there are plenty of opportunities to be explored (financial and otherwise), especially in connection with spiritual or creative endeavors, Businesses and partnerships that deal with intimacy or transformational work, with the film, fashion and music industry, with educational businesses or endeavors, or with the travel industry are also highlighted ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or <b>Cancer</b></i><i>? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\nAs mentioned above, the Moon’s entrance<i> </i>into<i> </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b> on Thursday very early morning started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon </i>that will be \"exact\" today<b> (Thursday), at 7:51pm EST, </b><i>in 11 degrees of</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b>.\r\n\r\n<em>A Full Moon</em> is always an opposition between the Moon and the Sun. During these oppositions, we seek balance, alignment and integration around two perspectives that seem like polar opposites; very often we experience this (and achieve it) through our interactions with others... so relationships of all kinds are highlighted during Full Moons. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/discernment-from-the-heart/\">Feel free to also watch my video for more:</a> https://youtu.be/omEJwbuQZwA\r\n\r\nToday, the Moon in <b>Virgo </b>opposes the Sun in <b>Pisces.</b> Virgo seeks personal wholeness; Pisces reminds us of an even greater wholeness — our divinity and interconnectedness with all of life.\r\n\r\nVirgo benefits from apprenticeship, whereas Pisces learns to trust inner guidance above all else -- when balanced, we are able to discern without judgment, serve without obligation, and love all of creation, including ourselves. Virgo analyzes, Pisces feels. We are invited to discern what\'s real, so we can make healthier choices.\r\n\r\nTo find the <i>balance between </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> and </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, ask yourself: Where do I need to be more selective? Where do I need to be more accepting? How can I tap into my inner knowingness and make practical choices? What if “choosing\" was already (and always) in alignment with divine timing?\r\n\r\nAll Full Moons bring awareness to a polarity, and this illuminates the shadow sides of both signs (in this case Virgo and Pisces).\r\n\r\nVirgo\'s shadow side is \"Judgement\", as this creates separation from others and a split within ourselves. It closes our heart. It limits our ability to learn. It keeps us stuck in duality, defending our position or attacking others. It\'s showing up when we label things as good or bad, rather than seeing them in terms of useful or unproductive.\r\n\r\nWhen we draw on the higher vibrations of Pisces we can more easily connect with the higher vibration of Virgo. Pisces\'s best qualities are compassion, intuitiveness, open-heartedness, inspirational creativity and imagination. At its best, Pisces understands that we are all souls in various states of development, doing the best we can.\r\n\r\nThe shadow side of Pisces is a lack of boundaries, ambiguity, escapism, helplessness or victimization; when we draw on the best qualities of Virgo we can move back into the higher vibration of Pisces again. Virgo\'s best qualities are the ability to choose wisely, and discern objectively what works and what doesn\'t.\r\n\r\nWhen both sides are integrated well, we have the acuity and sharpness of the mind, united with the wisdom of our heart and our intuitive guidance.\r\n\r\nWhat if I could find the synergy between my emotional, intuitive understanding and my rational, scientific understanding? Do I really have to choose between scientific facts and intuitive knowingness... What if I could have both? How might that be possible?\r\n\r\nFor the next two weeks, Virgo asks us to become aware of the clutter that is distracting us from our priorities; ask yourself: What in my current daily life is nourishing? And what might be toxic?\r\n\r\nVirgo\'s highest vibration is also about Service. To be of service, we must acquire discernment — not judgement, not criticism, not perfectionism, but the ability to focus objectively on what is helpful, and set aside the rest. In order to serve, we have to first realize that we have something to offer.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What if I didn\'t have to be perfect to be of service? What might I notice if I were 5% more mindful of my inner dialog? What if I brought 5% more compassion to myself? Even to my inner critic?\r\n\r\nThe last New Moon (on February 15th) was a Solar Eclipse, signaling the ending and beginning of a 19-year cycle. It shows us what remains to be healed, integrated, or released in order for us to take the next big step on our Soul\'s path.\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun, Neptune, Mercury, Venus and Chiron are all in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, drawing us inward, to be in silence and solitude as much as possible. We are to hear the quiet truth of our intuition and release what no longer serves our Soul\'s growth.\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon opposes Neptune, and the Sun conjuncts Neptune...</i> Ask yourself: If I\'m honest with myself, what would I notice that feels draining to me, rather than inspiring? What might happen if I surrendered my personal will 5% more to divine will? Could I be open to receiving guidance directly from my higher Self, my Soul-Self? If my feelings had words and could speak, what would they say? What would my dreams say? What message might my intuition have to give me?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>, conjunct Venus (exalted in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>):</i> Everything is made up of energy and therefore interconnected. If we can recognize that we all do the best we can, at any given time, and that on a spiritual level there are no mistakes, only experiences, we can learn about empathy -- and our brain will literally rewire itself towards compassion, rather than criticism.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What might be possible if I allowed my mind to be just 5% more relaxed? What if I stood in allowing, curiosity, and creative spaciousness? Am I currently using my imagination to inspire or scare myself? Do I have a tendency to go towards the worst case scenarios, or best case scenarios? What might \"love\" choose?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury/Venus alignment also conjuncts Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces --</i></b> this is an opportunity for healing: Chiron, the wounded healer, reminds us that anything can heal through the power of acceptance and love, and that healing happens by reclaiming and re-integrating those parts of ourselves that seem limited or \"imperfect\".\r\n\r\nCheck to see: do I feel unloved? Unworthy? Simply not good enough? And if I have those feelings, could I allow them simply to be here, just for right now? Could I be open to the possibility that these feelings are coming up right now, to be acknowledged and released?\r\n\r\nCheck to see if you are maybe revisiting themes from late January and from April of last year, when Venus was conjunct Chiron in Pisces. Ask yourself: What was present in my relationships with others back then? Or my relationship with the divine? Did I have any realizations? Any understanding of what needs to heal further?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury/Venus/Chiron alignment trines Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio </i></b><i>(stationing at the time of the FM, therefore exalted).</i> This supports a connection to our emotional/spiritual body.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How might a deeper, authentic, emotional approach support my connection to my divinity and my related healing process? What new perspectives or higher truths might I find?\r\n\r\nIf I looked at my human limitations through the lens of the human-soul alliance, is it at least possible that this would deepen my relationships with others?\r\n\r\nWe will also go into Jupiter\'s movement in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the Jupiter Station and Retrograde phase is going to impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up to our own birth charts.\r\n\r\nThe next Forum is next week <b>Friday</b>, <b>March 2nd, 2018 at </b>12pm<b> </b>PST/<b> 3pm EST</b>/8pm GMT (London-time). To join for FREE, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/JLFckh\">become a Star or SuperStar Member</a> on my site: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/JLFckh\">https://goo.gl/JLFckh</a> For more info about the Forums, or to register as at the regular fee, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">click here</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">https://goo.gl/wrs4H3</a>.\r\n\r\n<i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> squares the Mercury/Venus/Chiron alignment in </i><b><i>Pisces.</i></b> Squares always ask us to stretch and grow -- this particular square, with <i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> vs. Mercury/Venus in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>is all about fast vs. slow, extroverted vs. introverted, physical vs. emotional inspiration, impulsive vs. thoughtful, meditative vs. direct, straightforward vs. ambiguous or long-winded. Phew.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What would it look like if I could walk my talk 5% more, instead of getting caught up in idealized phantasies or dreams? What if I looked within before leaping into action? What daily practice could support my looking before I leap? What if my truths applied to me only? How might this contribute to my inner peace?\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon invites us to \"be love\" in thought and action. It also reminds us that our mindfulness and open heart make a difference, not only in our own life, but in the world. Before taking action (or if you are simply feeling ambitious about something) ask yourself: What would love do? What would my heart say, if it had words and could speak?\r\n\r\nRather than pushing, over-thinking or giving up, I invite you to conduct small, simple experiments and have faith in universal support…\r\n\r\n<b>For the next two weeks</b>, ask yourself: Where is the balance point of intellect and intuition? Striving and surrender? What if I trusted 5% more in the \"perfect\" outcome?\r\n\r\n<i>To sum it all up:</i> This Full Moon reminds us that, no matter what chaos, intensity and craziness might be going on outside of us, we have only to look inside to find our truth, to find peace. It’s in our hearts that we\'ll find what matters -- and what we can believe in whole-heartedly. Peace comes from within, from each one of us... We are what we choose to be in every “moment of now”... so choose wisely!\r\n\r\nAs best as you can therefore, simply observe like a scientist, from a place of neutrality and curiosity. Notice what serves you in the moment.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/discernment-from-the-heart/\">To learn more about all aspects connected to this month\'s Full Moon, please click here to watch my video:</a> https://youtu.be/omEJwbuQZwA\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point, or personal planets in 9-13 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, this month\'s Full Moon will affect you more; the same is true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (March 2nd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in</em><em> <i>detail-oriented, practical</i></em><em><i> </i></em><strong><em>Virgo</em> all day </strong>(see Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Mercury/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 8:05am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on; it will remain strong until this Saturday night. </strong>During this aspect, we are more optimistic. We see the bigger picture, communicate more positively and readily inspire others.\r\n\r\nWe are tolerant of other perspectives and ideas, naturally avoid narrow-minded thinking, and feel at ease reconnecting with people from all walks of life. We might be drawn to exploring foreign languages, cultures, spiritual practices and countries. What learning would expand your horizons?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or <b>Cancer</b></i><i>? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 6:50pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for 8.5 hours, <strong>until 3:20am EST (Saturday very early morning) .</strong> Use this intuitive time to make clear choices when it comes to relating to others.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday evening/night ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 3rd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><em><i>detail-oriented, practical </i></em><strong><em>Virgo</em> </strong>and<strong> <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> until 3:20am EST </strong>(see Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 3:20am EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into harmony-loving, balance-seeking </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>, where<i> </i>it will journey <strong>until Monday morning (March 5th)</strong><b>.</b> The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Saturday night,</strong> the <em>Jupiter Station intensifies in 23 degrees of <strong>Scorpio, </strong></em>as it is preparing to come to a halt next week Thursday. This station will last <b>until March 20th</b>.\r\n\r\nJupiter represents our desire to seek insight through deep knowledge. Some of this planet\'s keywords: morality; gratitude; hope; honor; the law. Jupiter is the planet of possibility, optimism, wisdom, understanding and growth (including mental and spiritual growth). Jupiter is also associated with our <i>sense of humor</i>, generosity, tolerance, goodwill, and mercy (<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/feb-19-25/\">see last week\'s blog entry for more details</a>).\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 21-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Taurus, Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> will be more affected by this station. This is also true for those of us with their Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 4th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking </i><strong><b><i>Libra</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Saturday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Sun/Neptune alignment in almost 14 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 8:54am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday morning on; it will remain strong until next week Wednesday morning (March 7th) . </strong>This alignment asks that we slow down and go within, allow for all energies to move through us -- being present and compassionate are the higher vibrations of this alignment -- we are more aware than ever that all things are interconnected.\r\n\r\nFeeling things -- and allowing everyone (ourselves included) to \"have their feelings\" -- is highly recommended. When we start to resist the flow of life, the flow of feeling, we will create fear and suffering. The remedy is to open our hearts and let love flow through us.\r\n\r\nWhen we get quiet and allow ourselves to be still for a moment, we sense our interconnectedness with all living things, our spiritual roots, the sacredness of all.\r\n\r\nIf, on the other hand, we are unable to connect to our divine essence, if we focus only on what\'s outside of us, we will feel separate -- and this illusion of separateness might cause us to look for an escape from our harsh \"realities\".\r\n\r\nWhat might be possible if we simply let go of fear-based thinking altogether for a moment, and instead simply connected to our wise heart, trusting the perfection of each \"now\" moment? What if we were to let go of all expectations and open our heart to the miracle of life?\r\n\r\nThis is about surrendering to the moment of now, to love, to our heart -- not about giving up -- rather, allowing \"what is\" to be ok, to see the perfection of \"right now\".\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 11-17 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b><i>(The Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early afternoon</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Venus alignment in almost 26 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 1:05pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday on; it will remain strong until next week, Thursday evening (March 8th). </strong>This is an excellent time to share about love, compassion, animals, spiritual endeavors, some ideal, music, dreams, meditation techniques -- or anything we feel intuitive connected to -- and also about any teaching endeavors connected to those areas.\r\n\r\nThis alignment supports communicating from a compassionate, intuitive heart -- and in fact, it becomes essential to connect to people with whom we feel a strong affinity. We wish to form those connections in a spirit of harmony, sensitivity and equality. In fact, we generally tend to have a strong sense of fairness at this time, and want to be around people who share these values.\r\n\r\nWe also thoroughly enjoy the written and spoken word -- literature, wordplay, puns, moving conversations -- especially when the words are imaginative and speak of something romantic, inspiring, spiritual or creative.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Virgo, Gemini, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus  </i></b><i>(Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late afternoon</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Chiron alignment in almost 27.5 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 4:25pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday night on; it will remain strong until next week, Tuesday morning (March 7th). </strong>This it allows us to communicate our flaws and insecurities, and thereby begin to heal them.\r\n\r\nBringing compassion and understanding to our past wounds can feel very empowering and healing; doing the same for others is going to feel really good. Remember: what you can do for yourself, you can do for others more easily, and vice versa.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, whatever you do <i>or</i> don\'t communicate: cut yourself a little slack. Being human means making mistakes from time to time; there is no shame in that -- we always learn the most from our mistakes -- mistakes are our gold.\r\n\r\nDouble-check: does avoiding or judging my past mistakes actually serve me? Or anyone else? Could I be open to the possibility that all \"mistakes\" -- past, present and future -- exist to serve my evolution?  If that were true: what would need reevaluating?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 24-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini </i></b><i>(since Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early evening</strong>, <em>a Venus/Chiron alignment in almost 27.5 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 5:59pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday morning on; it will remain strong until next week, Wednesday morning (March 7th). </strong>This alignment reminds us of wounds around relationships or our sense of self-worth. Social situations might feel awkward.\r\n\r\nWe may experience emotional triggers, so as best as you can, bring compassion and understanding to yourself, to others, and to those past experiences that wounded you. We need to learn to love ourselves, and heal deep fears of being \"not good enough\". Healing happens much faster when we are open to forgiving and embracing ourselves exactly as we are (and are not).\r\n\r\nFor those of you who want to have a better understanding of your personal healing journey, feel free to get the recording of my recent <b>Chiron-workshop: \"Healing with Astrology\" . </b>Join any of my memberships and receive this recording for FREE (value $30):<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\">Click here for more info</a>.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 24-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can.\n\nFun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\n\n<strong>Tuesday (Feb. 27th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving </i><strong><b><i>Leo </i>all day </b></strong>(see Monday late evening for details).\n\n<strong>Tuesday early morning</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Pluto aspect </em>becomes exact at 5:20am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Sunday evening on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday evening. </strong>We have an opportunity here, to bring all of our passion to what we value most -- to build something with spiritual or creative value.\n\nThis could be a powerful and passionate time in our romantic relationships. We have the opportunity to build something long-term and bring a good dose of faith to that process.

We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\n\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<b> </b>This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the</i> <em>Full Moon</em> (exact later this evening).\n\n<strong>Thursday morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 6:22am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday evening on; it will remain strong until this Saturday evening. </strong>Harmony and goodwill reign under this influence. We experience expansive feelings in love and a feeling that anything is possible if we set our sights high enough.\n\nWe are more likely to be friendly, open, and optimistic -- it\'s a great time for winning people\'s trust, making it much easier to make social contacts. We believe in our relationships and we have faith that all is going to work out for the best.\n\nWe might feel an urge to connect to people from other countries or foreign cultures, just to have an adventure, or widen our horizons. Financially, there might be a tendency to spend more than usual, as we feel confident that an abundance of resources is available to us. The thing to watch out for is the feeling that we don\'t have to actually do anything to \"cash in\".\n\nThat said, there are plenty of opportunities to be explored (financial and otherwise), especially in connection with spiritual or creative endeavors, Businesses and partnerships that deal with intimacy or transformational work, with the film, fashion and music industry, with educational businesses or endeavors, or with the travel industry are also highlighted ;-)\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or <b>Cancer</b></i><i>? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\n\nAs mentioned above, the Moon’s entrance<i> </i>into<i> </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b> on <strong>Thursday very early morning started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon </i>that will be \"exact\" today</strong><b> (Thursday), at 7:51pm EST, </b><i>in 11 degrees of</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b>.\n\n<em>A Full Moon</em> is always an opposition between the Moon and the Sun. During these oppositions, we seek balance, alignment and integration around two perspectives that seem like polar opposites; very often we experience this (and achieve it) through our interactions with others... so relationships of all kinds are highlighted during Full Moons. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/discernment-from-the-heart/\">Feel free to also watch my video for more</a>\n\nToday, the Moon in <b>Virgo </b>opposes the Sun in <b>Pisces.</b> Virgo seeks personal wholeness; Pisces reminds us of an even greater wholeness — our divinity and interconnectedness with all of life.\n\nVirgo benefits from apprenticeship, whereas Pisces learns to trust inner guidance above all else -- when balanced, we are able to discern without judgment, serve without obligation, and love all of creation, including ourselves. Virgo analyzes, Pisces feels. We are invited to discern what\'s real, so we can make healthier choices.\n\nTo find the <i>balance between </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> and </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, ask yourself: Where do I need to be more selective? Where do I need to be more accepting? How can I tap into my inner knowingness and make practical choices? What if “choosing\" was already (and always) in alignment with divine timing?\n\nAll Full Moons bring awareness to a polarity, and this illuminates the shadow sides of both signs (in this case Virgo and Pisces).\n\nVirgo\'s shadow side is \"Judgement\", as this creates separation from others and a split within ourselves. It closes our heart. It limits our ability to learn. It keeps us stuck in duality, defending our position or attacking others. It\'s showing up when we label things as good or bad, rather than seeing them in terms of useful or unproductive.\n\nWhen we draw on the higher vibrations of Pisces we can more easily connect with the higher vibration of Virgo. Pisces\'s best qualities are compassion, intuitiveness, open-heartedness, inspirational creativity and imagination. At its best, Pisces understands that we are all souls in various states of development, doing the best we can.\n\nThe shadow side of Pisces is a lack of boundaries, ambiguity, escapism, helplessness or victimization; when we draw on the best qualities of Virgo we can move back into the higher vibration of Pisces again. Virgo\'s best qualities are the ability to choose wisely, and discern objectively what works and what doesn\'t.\n\nWhen both sides are integrated well, we have the acuity and sharpness of the mind, united with the wisdom of our heart and our intuitive guidance.\n\nWhat if I could find the synergy between my emotional, intuitive understanding and my rational, scientific understanding? Do I really have to choose between scientific facts and intuitive knowingness... What if I could have both? How might that be possible?\n\nFor the next two weeks, Virgo asks us to become aware of the clutter that is distracting us from our priorities; ask yourself: What in my current daily life is nourishing? And what might be toxic?\n\nVirgo\'s highest vibration is also about Service. To be of service, we must acquire discernment — not judgement, not criticism, not perfectionism, but the ability to focus objectively on what is helpful, and set aside the rest. In order to serve, we have to first realize that we have something to offer.\n\nAsk yourself: What if I didn\'t have to be perfect to be of service? What might I notice if I were 5% more mindful of my inner dialog? What if I brought 5% more compassion to myself? Even to my inner critic?\n\nThe last New Moon (on February 15th) was a Solar Eclipse, signaling the ending and beginning of a 19-year cycle. It shows us what remains to be healed, integrated, or released in order for us to take the next big step on our Soul\'s path.\n\n<i>The Sun, Neptune, Mercury, Venus and Chiron are all in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, drawing us inward, to be in silence and solitude as much as possible. We are to hear the quiet truth of our intuition and release what no longer serves our Soul\'s growth.\n\n<i>The Moon opposes Neptune, and the Sun conjuncts Neptune...</i> Ask yourself: If I\'m honest with myself, what would I notice that feels draining to me, rather than inspiring? What might happen if I surrendered my personal will 5% more to divine will? Could I be open to receiving guidance directly from my higher Self, my Soul-Self? If my feelings had words and could speak, what would they say? What would my dreams say? What message might my intuition have to give me?\n\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>, conjunct Venus (exalted in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>):</i> Everything is made up of energy and therefore interconnected. If we can recognize that we all do the best we can, at any given time, and that on a spiritual level there are no mistakes, only experiences, we can learn about empathy -- and our brain will literally rewire itself towards compassion, rather than criticism.\n\nAsk yourself: What might be possible if I allowed my mind to be just 5% more relaxed? What if I stood in allowing, curiosity, and creative spaciousness? Am I currently using my imagination to inspire or scare myself? Do I have a tendency to go towards the worst case scenarios, or best case scenarios? What might \"love\" choose?\n\n<i>Mercury/Venus alignment also conjuncts Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces --</i></b> this is an opportunity for healing: Chiron, the wounded healer, reminds us that anything can heal through the power of acceptance and love, and that healing happens by reclaiming and re-integrating those parts of ourselves that seem limited or \"imperfect\".\n\nCheck to see: do I feel unloved? Unworthy? Simply not good enough? And if I have those feelings, could I allow them simply to be here, just for right now? Could I be open to the possibility that these feelings are coming up right now, to be acknowledged and released?\n\nCheck to see if you are maybe revisiting themes from late January and from April of last year, when Venus was conjunct Chiron in Pisces. Ask yourself: What was present in my relationships with others back then? Or my relationship with the divine? Did I have any realizations? Any understanding of what needs to heal further?\n\n<i>Mercury/Venus/Chiron alignment trines Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio </i></b><i>(stationing at the time of the FM, therefore exalted).</i> This supports a connection to our emotional/spiritual body.\n\nAsk yourself: How might a deeper, authentic, emotional approach support my connection to my divinity and my related healing process? What new perspectives or higher truths might I find?\n\nIf I looked at my human limitations through the lens of the human-soul alliance, is it at least possible that this would deepen my relationships with others?\n\nWe will also go into Jupiter\'s movement in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the Jupiter Station and Retrograde phase is going to impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up to our own birth charts.\n\nThe next Forum is next week <b>Friday</b>, <b>March 2nd, 2018 at </b>12pm<b> </b>PST/<b> 3pm EST</b>/8pm GMT (London-time). To join for FREE, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/JLFckh\">become a Star or SuperStar Member</a> on my site. For more info about the Forums, or to register as at the regular fee, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">click here</a>\n\n<i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> squares the Mercury/Venus/Chiron alignment in </i><b><i>Pisces.</i></b> Squares always ask us to stretch and grow -- this particular square, with <i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> vs. Mercury/Venus in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>is all about fast vs. slow, extroverted vs. introverted, physical vs. emotional inspiration, impulsive vs. thoughtful, meditative vs. direct, straightforward vs. ambiguous or long-winded. Phew.\n\nAsk yourself: What would it look like if I could walk my talk 5% more, instead of getting caught up in idealized phantasies or dreams? What if I looked within before leaping into action? What daily practice could support my looking before I leap? What if my truths applied to me only? How might this contribute to my inner peace?\n\nThis Full Moon invites us to \"be love\" in thought and action. It also reminds us that our mindfulness and open heart make a difference, not only in our own life, but in the world. Before taking action (or if you are simply feeling ambitious about something) ask yourself: What would love do? What would my heart say, if it had words and could speak?\n\nRather than pushing, over-thinking or giving up, I invite you to conduct small, simple experiments and have faith in universal support…\n\n<b>For the next two weeks</b>, ask yourself: Where is the balance point of intellect and intuition? Striving and surrender? What if I trusted 5% more in the \"perfect\" outcome?\n\n<i>To sum it all up:</i> This Full Moon reminds us that, no matter what chaos, intensity and craziness might be going on outside of us, we have only to look inside to find our truth, to find peace. It’s in our hearts that we\'ll find what matters -- and what we can believe in whole-heartedly. Peace comes from within, from each one of us... We are what we choose to be in every “moment of now”... so choose wisely!\n\nAs best as you can therefore, simply observe like a scientist, from a place of neutrality and curiosity. Notice what serves you in the moment.\n\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/discernment-from-the-heart/\">To learn more about all aspects connected to this month\'s Full Moon, please click here to watch my video</a>\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point, or personal planets in 9-13 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>?

We see the bigger picture, communicate more positively and readily inspire others.\n\nWe are tolerant of other perspectives and ideas, naturally avoid narrow-minded thinking, and feel at ease reconnecting with people from all walks of life. We might be drawn to exploring foreign languages, cultures, spiritual practices and countries. What learning would expand your horizons?\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or <b>Cancer</b></i><i>?

You may also want to plan Friday evening/night ahead of time :-)\n\n<strong>Saturday (March 3rd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><em><i>detail-oriented, practical </i></em><strong><em>Virgo</em> </strong>and<strong> <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> until 3:20am EST </strong>(see Thursday very early morning for details).\n\n<strong>Saturday at 3:20am EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into harmony-loving, balance-seeking </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>, where<i> </i>it will journey <strong>until Monday morning (March 5th)</strong><b>.</b> The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\n\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\n\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\n\n<strong>Also on Saturday night,</strong> the <em>Jupiter Station intensifies in 23 degrees of <strong>Scorpio, </strong></em>as it is preparing to come to a halt next week Thursday. This station will last <b>until March 20th</b>.\n\nJupiter represents our desire to seek insight through deep knowledge. Some of this planet\'s keywords: morality; gratitude; hope; honor; the law. Jupiter is the planet of possibility, optimism, wisdom, understanding and growth (including mental and spiritual growth). Jupiter is also associated with our <i>sense of humor</i>, generosity, tolerance, goodwill, and mercy (<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/feb-19-25/\">see last week\'s blog entry for more details</a>).\n\n<i>Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 21-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Taurus, Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> will be more affected by this station. This is also true for those of us with their Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\n\n<strong>Sunday (March 4th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking </i><strong><b><i>Libra</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Saturday very early morning for details).\n\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Sun/Neptune alignment in almost 14 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 8:54am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday morning on; it will remain strong until next week Wednesday morning (March 7th) . </strong>This alignment asks that we slow down and go within, allow for all energies to move through us -- being present and compassionate are the higher vibrations of this alignment -- we are more aware than ever that all things are interconnected.\n\nFeeling things -- and allowing everyone (ourselves included) to \"have their feelings\" -- is highly recommended. When we start to resist the flow of life, the flow of feeling, we will create fear and suffering. The remedy is to open our hearts and let love flow through us.\n\nWhen we get quiet and allow ourselves to be still for a moment, we sense our interconnectedness with all living things, our spiritual roots, the sacredness of all.\n\nIf, on the other hand, we are unable to connect to our divine essence, if we focus only on what\'s outside of us, we will feel separate -- and this illusion of separateness might cause us to look for an escape from our harsh \"realities\".\n\nWhat might be possible if we simply let go of fear-based thinking altogether for a moment, and instead simply connected to our wise heart, trusting the perfection of each \"now\" moment? What if we were to let go of all expectations and open our heart to the miracle of life?\n\nThis is about surrendering to the moment of now, to love, to our heart -- not about giving up -- rather, allowing \"what is\" to be ok, to see the perfection of \"right now\".\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 11-17 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b><i>(The Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\n\n<strong>Sunday early afternoon</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Venus alignment in almost 26 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 1:05pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday on; it will remain strong until next week, Thursday evening (March 8th). </strong>This is an excellent time to share about love, compassion, animals, spiritual endeavors, some ideal, music, dreams, meditation techniques -- or anything we feel intuitive connected to -- and also about any teaching endeavors connected to those areas.\n\nThis alignment supports communicating from a compassionate, intuitive heart -- and in fact, it becomes essential to connect to people with whom we feel a strong affinity. We wish to form those connections in a spirit of harmony, sensitivity and equality. In fact, we generally tend to have a strong sense of fairness at this time, and want to be around people who share these values.\n\nWe also thoroughly enjoy the written and spoken word -- literature, wordplay, puns, moving conversations -- especially when the words are imaginative and speak of something romantic, inspiring, spiritual or creative.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>?

Remember: what you can do for yourself, you can do for others more easily, and vice versa.\n\nAs best as you can, whatever you do <i>or</i> don\'t communicate: cut yourself a little slack. Being human means making mistakes from time to time; there is no shame in that -- we always learn the most from our mistakes -- mistakes are our gold.\n\nDouble-check: does avoiding or judging my past mistakes actually serve me? Or anyone else? Could I be open to the possibility that all \"mistakes\" -- past, present and future -- exist to serve my evolution?  If that were true: what would need reevaluating?\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 24-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

Social situations might feel awkward.\n\nWe may experience emotional triggers, so as best as you can, bring compassion and understanding to yourself, to others, and to those past experiences that wounded you. We need to learn to love ourselves, and heal deep fears of being \"not good enough\".

So much water, so many feelings coming up, floods everywhere, both literal or metaphorical, flushing out systems. All I wanted to do was go within and baby myself... and then the first Quarter Moon in Gemini happened on Friday... so it was more about continuously emailing and communicating with everybody instead :-)\r\n\r\n<b>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have two quick announcements: </b>\r\nLast chance to join my <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-live/\">next Forecasting Forum, </a>live this <strong>Friday at 3pm EST</strong> (more details at the very bottom of the blog)… and <em>only one more week</em> before my Weekly Forecasts and my Full Moon videos are only available via my new online community. <strong>For a limited time only,</strong> you can continue receiving all of the wonderful forecasts uninterrupted, for the price of a Cappuccino! So, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\">join now!</a>\r\n\r\nSome of you may have read that last paragraph and asked \"WHY???\" For more info, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/aEhibk\">click here</a>\r\n\r\nAnd as a reminder to the rest of you: Not only are memberships <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\">deeply discounted right now</a>, your <b>price will be locked in for life! </b>\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: the Full Moon in Virgo becomes exact on Thursday evening; Jupiter is stationing all week (and this station intensifies on Saturday night).\r\n\r\nThere will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Monday late afternoon (for almost 7 hours), Wednesday evening (for a little over 6.5 hours), and Friday evening (for 8.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (February 26th): </strong><em>t</em><em>he Moon remains in </em><i>protective, nurturing </i><strong><em>Cancer</em> until 11:42pm EST. </strong>With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key ;-)<!--more-->\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 4:51pm EST, </strong>we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for almost 7 hours, <strong>until 11:42pm EST. </strong>Use this intuitive time to make adjustments and (as best as you can) find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. Make space both for going after your vision and for taking care of emotional or family issues.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 11:42pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <b>until Wednesday night/Thursday <strong>very early morning</strong>. </b>We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising.\r\n\r\nWe all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-) So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can.\r\n\r\nFun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (Feb. 27th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving </i><strong><b><i>Leo </i>all day </b></strong>(see Monday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday early morning</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Pluto aspect </em>becomes exact at 5:20am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Sunday evening on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday evening. </strong>We have an opportunity here, to bring all of our passion to what we value most -- to build something with spiritual or creative value.\r\n\r\nThis could be a powerful and passionate time in our romantic relationships. We have the opportunity to build something long-term and bring a good dose of faith to that process. Remember: this is an \"opportunity\" -- opportunities aren\'t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio or Taurus</i></b><i>?

You may also want to plan Wednesday evening/night ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday evening</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Mars aspect </em>becomes exact at 6:56pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning on; it will remain strong until Friday morning. </strong>This aspect<i> </i>brings some juicy energy to our conversations. This is a chance to have some discussions that have been overdue.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, make it a productive discussion that serves you and others -- a win-win -- otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards. Also, watch out on the road for some crazy drivers… rushing might not necessarily get us there faster ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in </i><i>17-23 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Pisces, Sagittarius,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late evening</strong>, <em>an opportune Mercury/Pluto aspect </em>becomes exact at 11:42pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday morning. </strong>This aspect is an opportunity to deepen or transform areas of our lives that need it.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also an opportunity to do more research, so we can build something meaningful, all while learning about our authentic motivations. Remember: opportunities aren\'t on \"automatic\"... we have to go after them, realize them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point or personal planets in 18-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.

We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<b> </b>This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the</i> <em>Full Moon</em> (exact later this evening).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 6:22am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday evening on; it will remain strong until this Saturday evening. </strong>Harmony and goodwill reign under this influence. We experience expansive feelings in love and a feeling that anything is possible if we set our sights high enough.\r\n\r\nWe are more likely to be friendly, open, and optimistic -- it\'s a great time for winning people\'s trust, making it much easier to make social contacts. We believe in our relationships and we have faith that all is going to work out for the best.\r\n\r\nWe might feel an urge to connect to people from other countries or foreign cultures, just to have an adventure, or widen our horizons. Financially, there might be a tendency to spend more than usual, as we feel confident that an abundance of resources is available to us. The thing to watch out for is the feeling that we don\'t have to actually do anything to \"cash in\".\r\n\r\nThat said, there are plenty of opportunities to be explored (financial and otherwise), especially in connection with spiritual or creative endeavors, Businesses and partnerships that deal with intimacy or transformational work, with the film, fashion and music industry, with educational businesses or endeavors, or with the travel industry are also highlighted ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or <b>Cancer</b></i><i>? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\nAs mentioned above, the Moon’s entrance<i> </i>into<i> </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b> on Thursday very early morning started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon </i>that will be \"exact\" today<b> (Thursday), at 7:51pm EST, </b><i>in 11 degrees of</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b>.\r\n\r\n<em>A Full Moon</em> is always an opposition between the Moon and the Sun. During these oppositions, we seek balance, alignment and integration around two perspectives that seem like polar opposites; very often we experience this (and achieve it) through our interactions with others... so relationships of all kinds are highlighted during Full Moons. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/discernment-from-the-heart/\">Feel free to also watch my video for more</a>\r\n\r\nToday, the Moon in <b>Virgo </b>opposes the Sun in <b>Pisces.</b> Virgo seeks personal wholeness; Pisces reminds us of an even greater wholeness — our divinity and interconnectedness with all of life.\r\n\r\nVirgo benefits from apprenticeship, whereas Pisces learns to trust inner guidance above all else -- when balanced, we are able to discern without judgment, serve without obligation, and love all of creation, including ourselves. Virgo analyzes, Pisces feels. We are invited to discern what\'s real, so we can make healthier choices.\r\n\r\nTo find the <i>balance between </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> and </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, ask yourself: Where do I need to be more selective? Where do I need to be more accepting? How can I tap into my inner knowingness and make practical choices? What if “choosing\" was already (and always) in alignment with divine timing?\r\n\r\nAll Full Moons bring awareness to a polarity, and this illuminates the shadow sides of both signs (in this case Virgo and Pisces).\r\n\r\nVirgo\'s shadow side is \"Judgement\", as this creates separation from others and a split within ourselves. It closes our heart. It limits our ability to learn. It keeps us stuck in duality, defending our position or attacking others. It\'s showing up when we label things as good or bad, rather than seeing them in terms of useful or unproductive.\r\n\r\nWhen we draw on the higher vibrations of Pisces we can more easily connect with the higher vibration of Virgo. Pisces\'s best qualities are compassion, intuitiveness, open-heartedness, inspirational creativity and imagination. At its best, Pisces understands that we are all souls in various states of development, doing the best we can.\r\n\r\nThe shadow side of Pisces is a lack of boundaries, ambiguity, escapism, helplessness or victimization; when we draw on the best qualities of Virgo we can move back into the higher vibration of Pisces again. Virgo\'s best qualities are the ability to choose wisely, and discern objectively what works and what doesn\'t.\r\n\r\nWhen both sides are integrated well, we have the acuity and sharpness of the mind, united with the wisdom of our heart and our intuitive guidance.\r\n\r\nWhat if I could find the synergy between my emotional, intuitive understanding and my rational, scientific understanding? Do I really have to choose between scientific facts and intuitive knowingness... What if I could have both? How might that be possible?\r\n\r\nFor the next two weeks, Virgo asks us to become aware of the clutter that is distracting us from our priorities; ask yourself: What in my current daily life is nourishing? And what might be toxic?\r\n\r\nVirgo\'s highest vibration is also about Service. To be of service, we must acquire discernment — not judgement, not criticism, not perfectionism, but the ability to focus objectively on what is helpful, and set aside the rest. In order to serve, we have to first realize that we have something to offer.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What if I didn\'t have to be perfect to be of service? What might I notice if I were 5% more mindful of my inner dialog? What if I brought 5% more compassion to myself? Even to my inner critic?\r\n\r\nThe last New Moon (on February 15th) was a Solar Eclipse, signaling the ending and beginning of a 19-year cycle. It shows us what remains to be healed, integrated, or released in order for us to take the next big step on our Soul\'s path.\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun, Neptune, Mercury, Venus and Chiron are all in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, drawing us inward, to be in silence and solitude as much as possible. We are to hear the quiet truth of our intuition and release what no longer serves our Soul\'s growth.\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon opposes Neptune, and the Sun conjuncts Neptune...</i> Ask yourself: If I\'m honest with myself, what would I notice that feels draining to me, rather than inspiring? What might happen if I surrendered my personal will 5% more to divine will? Could I be open to receiving guidance directly from my higher Self, my Soul-Self? If my feelings had words and could speak, what would they say? What would my dreams say? What message might my intuition have to give me?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>, conjunct Venus (exalted in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>):</i> Everything is made up of energy and therefore interconnected. If we can recognize that we all do the best we can, at any given time, and that on a spiritual level there are no mistakes, only experiences, we can learn about empathy -- and our brain will literally rewire itself towards compassion, rather than criticism.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What might be possible if I allowed my mind to be just 5% more relaxed? What if I stood in allowing, curiosity, and creative spaciousness? Am I currently using my imagination to inspire or scare myself? Do I have a tendency to go towards the worst case scenarios, or best case scenarios? What might \"love\" choose?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury/Venus alignment also conjuncts Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces --</i></b> this is an opportunity for healing: Chiron, the wounded healer, reminds us that anything can heal through the power of acceptance and love, and that healing happens by reclaiming and re-integrating those parts of ourselves that seem limited or \"imperfect\".\r\n\r\nCheck to see: do I feel unloved? Unworthy? Simply not good enough? And if I have those feelings, could I allow them simply to be here, just for right now? Could I be open to the possibility that these feelings are coming up right now, to be acknowledged and released?\r\n\r\nCheck to see if you are maybe revisiting themes from late January and from April of last year, when Venus was conjunct Chiron in Pisces. Ask yourself: What was present in my relationships with others back then? Or my relationship with the divine? Did I have any realizations? Any understanding of what needs to heal further?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury/Venus/Chiron alignment trines Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio </i></b><i>(stationing at the time of the FM, therefore exalted).</i> This supports a connection to our emotional/spiritual body.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How might a deeper, authentic, emotional approach support my connection to my divinity and my related healing process? What new perspectives or higher truths might I find?\r\n\r\nIf I looked at my human limitations through the lens of the human-soul alliance, is it at least possible that this would deepen my relationships with others?\r\n\r\nWe will also go into Jupiter\'s movement in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the Jupiter Station and Retrograde phase is going to impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up to our own birth charts.\r\n\r\nThe next Forum is next week <b>Friday</b>, <b>March 2nd, 2018 at </b>12pm<b> </b>PST/<b> 3pm EST</b>/8pm GMT (London-time). To join for FREE, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/JLFckh\">become a Star or SuperStar Member</a> on my site. For more info about the Forums, or to register as at the regular fee, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">click here</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> squares the Mercury/Venus/Chiron alignment in </i><b><i>Pisces.</i></b> Squares always ask us to stretch and grow -- this particular square, with <i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> vs. Mercury/Venus in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>is all about fast vs. slow, extroverted vs. introverted, physical vs. emotional inspiration, impulsive vs. thoughtful, meditative vs. direct, straightforward vs. ambiguous or long-winded. Phew.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What would it look like if I could walk my talk 5% more, instead of getting caught up in idealized phantasies or dreams? What if I looked within before leaping into action? What daily practice could support my looking before I leap? What if my truths applied to me only? How might this contribute to my inner peace?\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon invites us to \"be love\" in thought and action. It also reminds us that our mindfulness and open heart make a difference, not only in our own life, but in the world. Before taking action (or if you are simply feeling ambitious about something) ask yourself: What would love do? What would my heart say, if it had words and could speak?\r\n\r\nRather than pushing, over-thinking or giving up, I invite you to conduct small, simple experiments and have faith in universal support…\r\n\r\n<b>For the next two weeks</b>, ask yourself: Where is the balance point of intellect and intuition? Striving and surrender? What if I trusted 5% more in the \"perfect\" outcome?\r\n\r\n<i>To sum it all up:</i> This Full Moon reminds us that, no matter what chaos, intensity and craziness might be going on outside of us, we have only to look inside to find our truth, to find peace. It’s in our hearts that we\'ll find what matters -- and what we can believe in whole-heartedly. Peace comes from within, from each one of us... We are what we choose to be in every “moment of now”... so choose wisely!\r\n\r\nAs best as you can therefore, simply observe like a scientist, from a place of neutrality and curiosity. Notice what serves you in the moment.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/discernment-from-the-heart/\">To learn more about all aspects connected to this month\'s Full Moon, please click here to watch my video</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point, or personal planets in 9-13 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>?

We see the bigger picture, communicate more positively and readily inspire others.\r\n\r\nWe are tolerant of other perspectives and ideas, naturally avoid narrow-minded thinking, and feel at ease reconnecting with people from all walks of life. We might be drawn to exploring foreign languages, cultures, spiritual practices and countries. What learning would expand your horizons?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or <b>Cancer</b></i><i>?

You may also want to plan Friday evening/night ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 3rd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><em><i>detail-oriented, practical </i></em><strong><em>Virgo</em> </strong>and<strong> <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> until 3:20am EST </strong>(see Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 3:20am EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into harmony-loving, balance-seeking </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>, where<i> </i>it will journey <strong>until Monday morning (March 5th)</strong><b>.</b> The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Saturday night,</strong> the <em>Jupiter Station intensifies in 23 degrees of <strong>Scorpio, </strong></em>as it is preparing to come to a halt next week Thursday. This station will last <b>until March 20th</b>.\r\n\r\nJupiter represents our desire to seek insight through deep knowledge. Some of this planet\'s keywords: morality; gratitude; hope; honor; the law. Jupiter is the planet of possibility, optimism, wisdom, understanding and growth (including mental and spiritual growth). Jupiter is also associated with our <i>sense of humor</i>, generosity, tolerance, goodwill, and mercy (<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/feb-19-25/\">see last week\'s blog entry for more details</a>).\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 21-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Taurus, Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> will be more affected by this station. This is also true for those of us with their Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 4th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking </i><strong><b><i>Libra</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Saturday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Sun/Neptune alignment in almost 14 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 8:54am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday morning on; it will remain strong until next week Wednesday morning (March 7th) . </strong>This alignment asks that we slow down and go within, allow for all energies to move through us -- being present and compassionate are the higher vibrations of this alignment -- we are more aware than ever that all things are interconnected.\r\n\r\nFeeling things -- and allowing everyone (ourselves included) to \"have their feelings\" -- is highly recommended. When we start to resist the flow of life, the flow of feeling, we will create fear and suffering. The remedy is to open our hearts and let love flow through us.\r\n\r\nWhen we get quiet and allow ourselves to be still for a moment, we sense our interconnectedness with all living things, our spiritual roots, the sacredness of all.\r\n\r\nIf, on the other hand, we are unable to connect to our divine essence, if we focus only on what\'s outside of us, we will feel separate -- and this illusion of separateness might cause us to look for an escape from our harsh \"realities\".\r\n\r\nWhat might be possible if we simply let go of fear-based thinking altogether for a moment, and instead simply connected to our wise heart, trusting the perfection of each \"now\" moment? What if we were to let go of all expectations and open our heart to the miracle of life?\r\n\r\nThis is about surrendering to the moment of now, to love, to our heart -- not about giving up -- rather, allowing \"what is\" to be ok, to see the perfection of \"right now\".\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 11-17 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b><i>(The Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early afternoon</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Venus alignment in almost 26 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 1:05pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday on; it will remain strong until next week, Thursday evening (March 8th). </strong>This is an excellent time to share about love, compassion, animals, spiritual endeavors, some ideal, music, dreams, meditation techniques -- or anything we feel intuitive connected to -- and also about any teaching endeavors connected to those areas.\r\n\r\nThis alignment supports communicating from a compassionate, intuitive heart -- and in fact, it becomes essential to connect to people with whom we feel a strong affinity. We wish to form those connections in a spirit of harmony, sensitivity and equality. In fact, we generally tend to have a strong sense of fairness at this time, and want to be around people who share these values.\r\n\r\nWe also thoroughly enjoy the written and spoken word -- literature, wordplay, puns, moving conversations -- especially when the words are imaginative and speak of something romantic, inspiring, spiritual or creative.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Virgo, Gemini, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus  </i></b><i>(Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late afternoon</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Chiron alignment in almost 27.5 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 4:25pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday night on; it will remain strong until next week, Tuesday morning (March 7th). </strong>This it allows us to communicate our flaws and insecurities, and thereby begin to heal them.\r\n\r\nBringing compassion and understanding to our past wounds can feel very empowering and healing; doing the same for others is going to feel really good. Remember: what you can do for yourself, you can do for others more easily, and vice versa.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, whatever you do <i>or</i> don\'t communicate: cut yourself a little slack. Being human means making mistakes from time to time; there is no shame in that -- we always learn the most from our mistakes -- mistakes are our gold.\r\n\r\nDouble-check: does avoiding or judging my past mistakes actually serve me? Or anyone else? Could I be open to the possibility that all \"mistakes\" -- past, present and future -- exist to serve my evolution?  If that were true: what would need reevaluating?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 24-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini </i></b><i>(since Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early evening</strong>, <em>a Venus/Chiron alignment in almost 27.5 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 5:59pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday morning on; it will remain strong until next week, Wednesday morning (March 7th). </strong>This alignment reminds us of wounds around relationships or our sense of self-worth. Social situations might feel awkward.\r\n\r\nWe may experience emotional triggers, so as best as you can, bring compassion and understanding to yourself, to others, and to those past experiences that wounded you. We need to learn to love ourselves, and heal deep fears of being \"not good enough\". Healing happens much faster when we are open to forgiving and embracing ourselves exactly as we are (and are not).\r\n\r\nFor those of you who want to have a better understanding of your personal healing journey, feel free to get the recording of my recent <b>Chiron-workshop: \"Healing with Astrology\" . </b>Join any of my memberships and receive this recording for FREE (value $30):<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\">Click here for more info</a>.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 24-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

I could definitely feel the Eclipse energies... and self-care was soooo very needed.\r\n\r\n<b>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have an important announcement:\r\n</b>Good news! As some of you already know, my online community has launched! I have been working on this for quite a while, and I am so excited that the day has finally come that I can introduce this to all of you! If you love Astrology, or simply want to explore yourself on a deeper level and live life more consciously, this community is for you. <b>Why join now? </b>\r\n\r\n<b>For the next four weeks</b> as I get the kinks worked out of my new membership site -- and as a huge thank you for being a part of my online community already -- I\'ll be offering a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\"><b>super-dooper special launch discount</b></a> on site membership. This is only for those of you who are already part of my mailing list or have joined me on my social media platforms. For more info about the new online community and it\'s benefits, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/aEhibk\">click here</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>It get’s better:</strong> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\">join the Star or SuperStar Membership</a> <strong>before Feb. 25th</strong>, you will also receive my latest Forecasting Forum — about the Eclipses and how they impact you personally — for FREE ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: A very powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse in Aquarius becomes exact on Thursday late afternoon; Mercury changes signs from Aquarius to Pisces on Saturday late evening — and the Sun follows suit on Sunday around noon.\r\n\r\nThere will be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC Phases</a> this week: Monday night/Tuesday very early morning (for 9.5 hours), Thursday afternoon (for almost 6 hours), and Saturday early evening until Sunday morning (for almost 14 hours).\r\n\r\n<b>Monday (February 12<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> <i>the Moon remains in </i><i>practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> <b>all day. </b>It will journey there <b>until Tuesday late morning. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.<!--more-->\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday</strong><b> afternoon</b>, our focus intensifies -- we might even get a little obsessed with a project or task -- as best as you can, take breaks and don\'t forget to practice a little self-care ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday evening,</strong> we get the opportunity to investigate our deepest motivations and align them with our long-term goals and achievements (if we are awake at this time, of course). We are capable of great focus for the next couple of hours. As with all opportunities in life, this one is not simply handed to us, we have to make something of it. Might deeper perspectives into your psyche move you closer to long-term goals?\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday (Feb. 13<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> <i>the Moon remains in practical, </i><i>accomplishment-oriented</i><i> </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> <b>until 10:11am EST</b> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday very early morning,</b> <b>at 12:43am EST,</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for about 9.5 hours, <b>until 10:11am EST</b>.You may be aware of two seemingly conflicting desires: On the one hand, a need for serious, diligent accomplishment -- and on the other, a desire to break free and rebel against obligations.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take some breaks, and \"let your freak flag fly\" -- just for a moment -- and revel in it! As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your morning ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday at 10:11 am EST</b> <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> where it will be <b>until Thursday evening</b>. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday early evening</b> a <i>challenging Mercury/Jupiter aspect</i> becomes exact at 5:39 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from</b> <b>Sunday and it will be strong until Thursday. </b>This aspect asks that we grow and evolve in the following areas: how we communicate our vision for the future and how much we share with others. We may have to find creative solutions to communicate; we may have to learn about our thinking process and conditioning.\r\n\r\nWe want to share ourselves without limitation. We are thus inclined to exaggeration, often unintended -- and might struggle to transform ideas into reality. The upside to all this: we can be extraordinarily funny, interesting and creative.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday </b><i>an opportune Sun/Uranus aspect</i><b> </b>becomes exact at 9:23pm EST. <b>We started to feel this aspect Sunday evening on, and it will be strong until Thursday night. </b>We have the opportunity to become aware of an original or unique approach to life. Flexibility is the key to success at this time; pleasant changes may be in store -- certainly unexpected ones ;-)\r\n\r\nWhat is your uniqueness? How could you express that proudly and authentically? As best as you can, watch out for messages from the Universe! Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us: We have to \"realize\" it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo</i></b><i> or</i><b><i> Aquarius </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday (Feb. 14<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> (Valentine’s Day) <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>all day</b> (see Tuesday late morning for details)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday morning</strong> is an opportunity to connect with others and explore actively the things that can bring us progress.\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday </b>is also the <i>last day before the Solar Eclipse in</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact. There is some potent energy coming our way; it would be wise to prepare ourselves to be transformed by it, allowing for our consciousness upgrade to be installed.\r\n\r\nThis is a good time to slow things down and go within. For many of us, this will be a stretch, as we want to do just the opposite: jump the gun, get started with something new, act impulsively, etc. This is quite common right before a Solar Eclipse. As best as you can, stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions and connect to your inner wisdom.\r\n\r\nIt comes down to this: just for now and just as best as you can... could you simply allow what is... to be? Could you simply be the “observer” until the upgrade is complete?\r\n\r\nRather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing things. Think back to late Aug. 2017 -- the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo. What did you start around then? How could you complete it, or move it to the next level?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take the days immediately before and after the Eclipse for meditation, contemplation, journaling — anything that supports an objective understanding of your own thoughts and visions.\r\n\r\nOf course if, like most of us, you have other obligations: take 5-minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, get quiet and be with yourself (i.e. your inspirational Self, your higher mind). Ask yourself: What might become possible if you gave this to yourself on a regular basis?\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday (Feb. 15<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>) </b>is a big day! <i>The Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>until 9:42pm EST</b> (see Tuesday late morning for details)\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday morning</b> an <i>opportune Mercury/Uranus aspect</i> becomes exact at 10:07am EST. <b>We started to feel this from aspect from Wednesday on, and it will be strong until Friday</b>.This is an opportunity to connect our thinking and communication to a brighter, more collaborative vision for the future.\r\n\r\nIt also brings an opportunity for insight, novelty, and some really unusual conversations. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to realize it.\r\n\r\nThis aspect also brings an opportunity to view things from a different perspective or put a new spin on \"old\" thinking. We like to connect in unusual ways; any group activities or brainstorming with like-minded people could generate amazing insights -- this might be a busy day. As best as you can, or want to... stay open to other dimensions ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> <i>(Mercury is the ruler of Virgo and Gemini; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\nOn <b>Thursday at 4:05pm EST, </b><i>a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse in 27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> becomes exact. </i>This is the beginning of both a new Moon cycle and an Eclipse cycle.  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\nEclipses take place approximately every 6 months; <i>Solar Eclipses</i> are extra-powerful New Moons that end one 19-year cycle and begin another — the last Solar Eclipse in this same degree of Aquarius was back on Feb. 16th, 1999. We are likely to experience a resonance between now and that time — \"resonant\", rather than identical — so think back to the Spring of 1999:\r\n\r\nWere there any major endings and beginnings? What was important back then? If there were a call this time to take those priorities to the next level… Where would that next level find you?\r\n\r\nIf you\'re looking for more guidance on those questions, I would suggest taking a look at your Natal Chart: the House placement of the Eclipse will indicate which area of life is the readiest for a new level of consciousness.\r\n\r\nIf that idea appeals, I suggest checking out my <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">30-minute class, \"How to Read My Birth Chart”</a> -- you might also want to purchase the video of the most recent Forecasting Forum -- we looked directly at our own birth charts to see how this Solar Eclipse will affect each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar, available on my website).\r\n\r\nOr...\r\n\r\n<b>Get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, <b>plus</b> a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\r\n\r\nAlthough we have experienced several Eclipses in the Leo/Aquarius polarity since last year, this will be the <i>first Solar Eclipse in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>. This points to a new beginning of some sort, with the visionary Aquarian energy impacting the area of life indicated by its house placement in our individual birth charts.\r\n\r\nSolar Eclipses reveal pathways that can take us to the next level of our evolution. They herald shifts in consciousness; the shift connected with this particular Eclipse will unfold over the next 6 months.\r\n\r\nThe Sun and Moon are connected to one of the Moon Nodes during an Eclipse; in this case, the South Node -- and <i>South Node Eclipses</i> can help us release energies or attachments that no longer serve our Soul’s evolution. Again, feel free to check out my webinar about the Eclipses to see where this new beginning and next level of your Soul\'s evolution takes place for you.\r\n\r\nEclipses are Uranian in nature; as such, they are times of uncertainty -- so pretty much anything could happen <b>between now and the end of Eclipse season (Feb. 25th).</b>\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, stay both grounded <i>and</i> flexible — and don\'t jump the gun: If you feel compelled to do something, do your best to simply observe the urge. The exception might be something that happens organically -- but if you are ambivalent about a possible action, better hold off at least until the end of Eclipse Season (Feb. 25th).\r\n\r\nEclipses bring major endings and beginnings. As best you can, trust that whatever is leaving is making space for something better -- the more willing we are to change, the easier it will be.\r\n\r\nThat said, projects and interactions that got underway prior to Eclipse season (i.e. before Jan. 21st) are another matter -- don’t stop your life just because it is Eclipse season ;-) Pay attention also to anything that got started at the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo, in August of last year.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Do I have a better understanding of what brings me joy? Am I more courageous and self-expressed?\r\n\r\nWith the <i>Solar Eclipse</i> in <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>, we have our eye on the future. The highest vibration of Aquarius gives us the opportunity to see a clear vision for our life -- and we are ready to make huge improvements.\r\n\r\n<strong>Aquarius</strong> also deals with the power of ideals, technology, and inventions. We are interested in the collective focus on changing group consciousness; we strive for equality, collaboration, progress. This eclipse invites us to bring this higher vibration to our ability to be courageous and joyful in our own right.\r\n\r\n<i>South Node Eclipses</i> invite us to become aware of the lower vibrations of a sign, so we can release those energies or attachments that no longer serve our evolution, and move toward the higher vibration of the sign -- in this case, that would obviously be Aquarius -- so what do the lower Aquarian vibrations look and feel like?\r\n\r\nAt a lower <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, we feel like outsiders -- as though we don\'t fit in, are maybe a little <i>too</i> different. We want to rebel against social structures that don\'t fit with our vision.\r\n\r\nWe get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not take responsibility for our part in the collective -- when we do not honor our individual genius, our unique contribution to society or our communities. Ask yourself:\r\n\r\nWhat stops me from connecting to my inner genius? What if I allowed myself to be both different <i>and</i> connected to others? What if taking responsibility for \"how things are\" was the perfect jump-start for a better future?\r\n\r\nTo move even further into that higher <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, try also asking yourself the following questions: Where am I called to make a difference? What could I, as an individual, do for humanity? And how might group consciousness help humanity make progress? Where can I begin?\r\n\r\nEvery single one of us has a special gift, a spark unique to us; when we access our inner genius and share it with the world, we can make quantum leaps of insight and embark on remarkable collaborations with others. Ask yourself: How does my inner genius communicate? Where does it want to show up?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) currently in <strong>Aries</strong>, sextiles the Sun, Moon, and Mercury in <strong>Aquarius</strong>. </i>This is a tremendous opportunity for all of us to become more aware of our individual impact on the collective: We are all agents of change. Already. Always.\r\n\r\nRight now, our individual capacity to effect change is far greater than we realize — especially for those of us with Uranus, Aquarius, or 11th house planets strongly emphasized in our birth chart — and when we team up with others who also care deeply about creating a better future, we can create real change.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How can I inspire others to foster progress? What becomes possible when we all connect with the intention to create meaningful change for everyone? For all living things?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong> squares the Solar Eclipse, sextiles Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, and trines Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong>. </i>This combo invites us to stretch ourselves for the duration of this Eclipse cycle -- to grow beyond what we currently know ourselves to be -- it supports our ability to build a more meaningful future and allows us to engage more fully in our current healing process.\r\n\r\nHere\'s a good start: We all have \"survival tactics\" we formed in response to past circumstances. Ask yourself: What if I expanded my awareness and comprehension of my personal survival tactics by just 5%? What might a new perspective on my fears and defenses show me? What if I relentlessly questioned old beliefs about intimate or financial partnerships? What might I discover about what has become true in the meantime? If I genuinely allowed this insight to change my behaviors and expectations, what might that look like?\r\n\r\nAs always when Chiron is involved, aim for wholeness, forgiveness — above all, keep a courageously open heart — our light shines all the brighter when all of our authentic self is visible, even the shadowy parts :-)\r\n\r\n<i>Eclipses</i> are a time for clarifying and affirming our highest path. We are bound to experience a release -- and a recalibration: “old” codes will get deleted and new programming downloaded. This is especially true when connected with our vision for the future (and for the collective).\r\n\r\nSuppressing or denying the unique gifts we each bring to the collective experience is even less wise than before; we are more aware than ever that we <b>are interconnected</b> and thus every single one of us contributes to the human experience and is capable of making a difference on this shared journey.\r\n\r\nSince Eclipse season continues until Feb. 25th, I highly recommend again that you treat yourself to the video of my most recent Forecasting Forum (<a href=\"https://goo.gl/uB8R7j\">https://goo.gl/uB8R7j</a>) -- we covered the Eclipses, including this Solar Eclipse in <b>Aquarius</b>, looking directly at our own birth charts to see how this affects each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar on my website).\r\n\r\nOr...\r\n\r\nYou may recall that I now offer membership plans -- you could <b>get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, plus a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum, by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\r\n\r\n<b>Between now and Feb. 25th</b>, allow for the new templates to download; stay centered and do your best to ground from within. Try using conscious breathing, flexibility -- and best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body… And if nothing else, remember: this won\'t last forever -- in another two weeks, the downloads are complete ;-)  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">Again, I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in one of the following placements: 22-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, Scorpio, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly.</i>\r\n\r\nNow let’s talk “Intentions” :-) Regular readers will know that we usually use the time of the New Moon to set intentions for the coming month.\r\n\r\nWith a Solar Eclipse, we want to <b>wait 48 hours before setting our intentions </b>-- in Saturdays Forecast, I’ll be talking about setting some powerful intentions, not just for the next month as is usual for a New Moon, but for the next <i>six</i> months -- and I\'ll give you the very best times for setting them. <i></i>\r\n<i></i>\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Thursday late afternoon, at 4:05pm EST,</b> at the same time as the New Moon becomes exact, we also enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 6 hours, <b>until 9:42 pm EST</b>. Use this intuitive time to go within and meditate or pray/give thanks/converse with your higher Self.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your Thursday evening ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday evening,  </b><i>an opportune Venus/Saturn aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:19 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday night and it will stay strong until Saturday. </b>This aspect gives us an opportunity to bring a sense of realism to our relationships, values, and financial affairs: We are more able to see what really needs to be dealt with in those areas and take responsibility for our handling of them.\r\n\r\nOn a financial level, we have an opportunity to see more clearly when and how we might make long-term investments. There\'s no need to rush anything; think it through carefully and responsibly -- do the \"due diligence\". Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us, we have to \"take\" it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 4-8 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)</i>.\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday evening at 9:42 pm EST,</b> <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces,</i></b><i> </i>where it will journey <b>until Sunday morning</b>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<b>Friday (Feb. 16<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>) </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <b>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday morning</strong>, we get an opportunity to be wholly present -- and also to focus on practicalities and long-term plans. As best as you can, bring a sense of flow and faith to your business dealings.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning</strong>, we have a chance to connect with other people from our compassionate heart. If we heed intuition and allow for all things to flow freely, we may discover that the Universe is always taking care of us ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late evening,</strong> we feel a need to go within and slow down -- and at the same time, we also want to move fast and have new experiences. This tension clearly invites us to stretch a little, and to seek resolution via creative solutions -- the key here is to listen to our intuition, so we don\'t drive ourselves or others crazy.\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Friday late evening,</strong> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday</strong> is also Chinese New Year. I am not very well-versed in Chinese astrology, so I\'ll just share an excerpt from a newsletter I received last week: \"Today is the start of the Chinese year of the Earth Dog. In Chinese tradition, Earth dogs are faithful, considerate and well-disciplined.\" -- Astro Butterfly\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday (Feb. 17<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>): </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday morning,</b> <i>a challenging Mars/Neptune aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:20 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Sunday evening and it will be strong until next week Thursday morning</b>. This aspect is asking us to stretch ourselves, in order to resolve a tension between the things we want to go after, versus our feelings about a higher, spiritual calling. We may be chasing a dream... or a fantasy.\r\n\r\nOrdinary life may seem drab and uninteresting to us right now. We tend to either over- or underestimate our own power and abilities. We want something that stirs our imagination: Some vision or ideal or dream to motivate us.\r\n\r\nWe have a strong urge to act out our fantasies or live out our dream -- and we have the energy now to DO that which others only talk or dream about -- but we tend to feel scattered. As best as you can, slow down and listen to your intuition before aimlessly zooming ahead. Inspire yourself and others.\r\n\r\n<i>Most impacted by this aspect: those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 10-16 degrees of</i><b><i> Sagittarius, Pisces</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Gemini, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday early morning, </b><i>a Sun/Mercury alignment</i> <i>in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact at 7:27 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday evening on, and it will be strong until next week Tuesday evening. </b>This aspect indicates a confident mind and an analytical approach to life. Intelligence and communication abilities are strong at this time; however, we may not listen as well as the other speaks -- we might be too busy thinking about what to say next.\r\n\r\nGiven that this alignment takes place in <strong>Aquarius</strong>, we may feel particularly cool and collected, detached even -- do your best to avoid arrogance or rigidity of thought.\r\n\r\nWe want an active role in communications -- it\'s very hard for us to passively listen and absorb information right now. What we say or write now is impactful, so choose your words wisely: If people hung on your every word, what would you say then? What would you hold back from saying?\r\n\r\nOur opinions are strong and our thinking independent -- and we\'re proud of both -- so our egos may get bruised if we don\'t feel \"heard\". As best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have a different opinion and that\'s ok.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 26-29 degrees of  </i><strong><i>Aquarius, Leo, Scorpio, Taurus, </i></strong><i>or</i><strong><i> </i></strong><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\">Pisces, Virgo, </b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo, Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday</b><b> afternoon (after 4:05pm EST)</b> is also the best time to set<i> our powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse Intentions</i>. Doing so during a Solar Eclipse is a little different from the regular monthly New Moon process: we are setting those intentions for the whole 6-month Eclipse cycle, rather than just for the next 28 days.\r\n\r\nSo when is the best time to do this? With a Solar Eclipse it is best to wait 48 hours after the Eclipse has been exact before setting any intentions; as always, we also want to avoid any <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> phases.\r\n\r\nThis gives us two \"windows\" for our 6-month intention-setting (all times are EST, which is the New York timezone):\r\n\r\nThe first window is on <b>Saturday, Feb. 17th, between 4:05pm and 5:14pm.</b>\r\n\r\nThe<b> </b>second would be <b>between 7:05am on Sunday, Feb. 18th, and 4:05pm the following day (Monday, Feb. 19th). </b>\r\n\r\nMake them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the <strong>Aquarian</strong> energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nThis Solar Eclipse reminds us that to be fully alive requires us to constantly stretch, grow, and change. So, while writing your intentions, ask yourself: What would it take for me to release old patterns from the past? How might that free me to create a more powerful vision for the future?\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday early evening,</b> <b>at 5:14 pm EST,</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 14 hours, <b>until 7:05 am EST (Sunday morning)</b>. Use this intuitive time to explore any beliefs connected to past experiences that left you feeling disempowered: How could a compassionate approach to the past allow for a new perspective?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your Saturday evening and Sunday early morning ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Late Saturday evening at 11:28 pm EST </b><i>Mercury changes signs from freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> to creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i>.</b> It will journey through Pisces until <b>March 6<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b>. We are moving from the mind into the heart. For these next two weeks, we get a chance to communicate with compassion -- we see the commonalities between us all, rather than what separates us.\r\n\r\nWe seem to be connected to Source more easily during this time -- if we allow that energy to come through -- and our thinking will be very creative, imaginative and intuitive.\r\n\r\nThe key with this energy is to remain in the “here and now” and open up to a higher vibration. If we can do that, we will be able to download information from an intuitive place, rather than thinking things through. This could also be the reason why our mind is slowing down a bit and why we speak more softly.\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> also offers us an opportunity to let go of any mental structures, conditionings or fears that are no longer serving us. If you are not connected to your intuition, you may want to double check with other people, before signing any documents or buying any big-ticket items. Are you ready to connect to your intuition more fully? Can you allow for the unfolding process, trusting your higher Self more fully?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more talkative during this time. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you may need to learn to surrender to a slower pace and connect more fully to your heart and intuition.  </i>\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday (Feb. 18<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>): </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><b> </b>and<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><b> until 7:05am EST.</b>\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday morning at 7:05 am EST </b><i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries,</i></b> where it will remain <b>until Tuesday afternoon</b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday afternoon at 12:18 pm</b> <i>the Sun moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> where it will remain <b>until March 20th. </b>This brings our awareness to our sense of oneness with everyone and everything around us. We feel like sponges, able to pick up all energy around us; this also makes us more sensitive and emotional. We are more drawn towards expressing ourselves in a creative or spiritual way.\r\n\r\nMusic or energy healing gives us vitality and can heighten our own personal vibrations. We need to slow down a little and listen to our intuition more fully -- if we ignore our feelings and the subtle messages we are getting, we will most likely feel more anxious and somewhat frustrated. This could also be connected to the slow pace that our body or our surroundings are demanding of us.\r\n\r\nThe keyword here is \"allowing\": as best as you can, be aware of what you are resisting, moment to moment, and create some space -- allow it to be as it is. Notice when you are picking up someone else\'s feelings rather than your own.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces </i></b><i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, your vitality will depend on allowing things to flow and being gentle with yourself.</i>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\">Last but not least, </span><b>Sunday </b><span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\"><b>after </b></span><b>7:05am EST, </b> you have all day to set your Solar Eclipse <span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\">Intentions. </span>Make them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the <strong>Aquarian</strong> energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>.

Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can.\r\n\r\nFun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun?

We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<b> </b>This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the</i> <em>Full Moon</em> (exact later this evening).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 6:22am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday evening on; it will remain strong until this Saturday evening. </strong>Harmony and goodwill reign under this influence. We experience expansive feelings in love and a feeling that anything is possible if we set our sights high enough.\r\n\r\nWe are more likely to be friendly, open, and optimistic -- it\'s a great time for winning people\'s trust, making it much easier to make social contacts. We believe in our relationships and we have faith that all is going to work out for the best.\r\n\r\nWe might feel an urge to connect to people from other countries or foreign cultures, just to have an adventure, or widen our horizons. Financially, there might be a tendency to spend more than usual, as we feel confident that an abundance of resources is available to us. The thing to watch out for is the feeling that we don\'t have to actually do anything to \"cash in\".\r\n\r\nThat said, there are plenty of opportunities to be explored (financial and otherwise), especially in connection with spiritual or creative endeavors, Businesses and partnerships that deal with intimacy or transformational work, with the film, fashion and music industry, with educational businesses or endeavors, or with the travel industry are also highlighted ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or <b>Cancer</b></i><i>?

During these oppositions, we seek balance, alignment and integration around two perspectives that seem like polar opposites; very often we experience this (and achieve it) through our interactions with others... so relationships of all kinds are highlighted during Full Moons. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/discernment-from-the-heart/\">Feel free to also watch my video for more</a>\r\n\r\nToday, the Moon in <b>Virgo </b>opposes the Sun in <b>Pisces.</b> Virgo seeks personal wholeness; Pisces reminds us of an even greater wholeness — our divinity and interconnectedness with all of life.\r\n\r\nVirgo benefits from apprenticeship, whereas Pisces learns to trust inner guidance above all else -- when balanced, we are able to discern without judgment, serve without obligation, and love all of creation, including ourselves. Virgo analyzes, Pisces feels. We are invited to discern what\'s real, so we can make healthier choices.\r\n\r\nTo find the <i>balance between </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> and </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, ask yourself: Where do I need to be more selective? Where do I need to be more accepting? How can I tap into my inner knowingness and make practical choices? What if “choosing\" was already (and always) in alignment with divine timing?\r\n\r\nAll Full Moons bring awareness to a polarity, and this illuminates the shadow sides of both signs (in this case Virgo and Pisces).\r\n\r\nVirgo\'s shadow side is \"Judgement\", as this creates separation from others and a split within ourselves. It closes our heart. It limits our ability to learn. It keeps us stuck in duality, defending our position or attacking others. It\'s showing up when we label things as good or bad, rather than seeing them in terms of useful or unproductive.\r\n\r\nWhen we draw on the higher vibrations of Pisces we can more easily connect with the higher vibration of Virgo. Pisces\'s best qualities are compassion, intuitiveness, open-heartedness, inspirational creativity and imagination. At its best, Pisces understands that we are all souls in various states of development, doing the best we can.\r\n\r\nThe shadow side of Pisces is a lack of boundaries, ambiguity, escapism, helplessness or victimization; when we draw on the best qualities of Virgo we can move back into the higher vibration of Pisces again. Virgo\'s best qualities are the ability to choose wisely, and discern objectively what works and what doesn\'t.\r\n\r\nWhen both sides are integrated well, we have the acuity and sharpness of the mind, united with the wisdom of our heart and our intuitive guidance.\r\n\r\nWhat if I could find the synergy between my emotional, intuitive understanding and my rational, scientific understanding? Do I really have to choose between scientific facts and intuitive knowingness... What if I could have both? How might that be possible?\r\n\r\nFor the next two weeks, Virgo asks us to become aware of the clutter that is distracting us from our priorities; ask yourself: What in my current daily life is nourishing? And what might be toxic?\r\n\r\nVirgo\'s highest vibration is also about Service. To be of service, we must acquire discernment — not judgement, not criticism, not perfectionism, but the ability to focus objectively on what is helpful, and set aside the rest. In order to serve, we have to first realize that we have something to offer.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What if I didn\'t have to be perfect to be of service? What might I notice if I were 5% more mindful of my inner dialog? What if I brought 5% more compassion to myself? Even to my inner critic?\r\n\r\nThe last New Moon (on February 15th) was a Solar Eclipse, signaling the ending and beginning of a 19-year cycle. It shows us what remains to be healed, integrated, or released in order for us to take the next big step on our Soul\'s path.\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun, Neptune, Mercury, Venus and Chiron are all in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, drawing us inward, to be in silence and solitude as much as possible. We are to hear the quiet truth of our intuition and release what no longer serves our Soul\'s growth.\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon opposes Neptune, and the Sun conjuncts Neptune...</i> Ask yourself: If I\'m honest with myself, what would I notice that feels draining to me, rather than inspiring? What might happen if I surrendered my personal will 5% more to divine will? Could I be open to receiving guidance directly from my higher Self, my Soul-Self? If my feelings had words and could speak, what would they say? What would my dreams say? What message might my intuition have to give me?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>, conjunct Venus (exalted in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>):</i> Everything is made up of energy and therefore interconnected. If we can recognize that we all do the best we can, at any given time, and that on a spiritual level there are no mistakes, only experiences, we can learn about empathy -- and our brain will literally rewire itself towards compassion, rather than criticism.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What might be possible if I allowed my mind to be just 5% more relaxed? What if I stood in allowing, curiosity, and creative spaciousness? Am I currently using my imagination to inspire or scare myself? Do I have a tendency to go towards the worst case scenarios, or best case scenarios? What might \"love\" choose?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury/Venus alignment also conjuncts Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces --</i></b> this is an opportunity for healing: Chiron, the wounded healer, reminds us that anything can heal through the power of acceptance and love, and that healing happens by reclaiming and re-integrating those parts of ourselves that seem limited or \"imperfect\".\r\n\r\nCheck to see: do I feel unloved? Unworthy? Simply not good enough? And if I have those feelings, could I allow them simply to be here, just for right now? Could I be open to the possibility that these feelings are coming up right now, to be acknowledged and released?\r\n\r\nCheck to see if you are maybe revisiting themes from late January and from April of last year, when Venus was conjunct Chiron in Pisces. Ask yourself: What was present in my relationships with others back then? Or my relationship with the divine? Did I have any realizations? Any understanding of what needs to heal further?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury/Venus/Chiron alignment trines Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio </i></b><i>(stationing at the time of the FM, therefore exalted).</i> This supports a connection to our emotional/spiritual body.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How might a deeper, authentic, emotional approach support my connection to my divinity and my related healing process? What new perspectives or higher truths might I find?\r\n\r\nIf I looked at my human limitations through the lens of the human-soul alliance, is it at least possible that this would deepen my relationships with others?\r\n\r\nWe will also go into Jupiter\'s movement in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the Jupiter Station and Retrograde phase is going to impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up to our own birth charts.\r\n\r\nThe next Forum is next week <b>Friday</b>, <b>March 2nd, 2018 at </b>12pm<b> </b>PST/<b> 3pm EST</b>/8pm GMT (London-time). To join for FREE, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/JLFckh\">become a Star or SuperStar Member</a> on my site. For more info about the Forums, or to register as at the regular fee, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">click here</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> squares the Mercury/Venus/Chiron alignment in </i><b><i>Pisces.</i></b> Squares always ask us to stretch and grow -- this particular square, with <i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> vs. Mercury/Venus in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>is all about fast vs. slow, extroverted vs. introverted, physical vs. emotional inspiration, impulsive vs. thoughtful, meditative vs. direct, straightforward vs. ambiguous or long-winded. Phew.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What would it look like if I could walk my talk 5% more, instead of getting caught up in idealized phantasies or dreams? What if I looked within before leaping into action? What daily practice could support my looking before I leap? What if my truths applied to me only? How might this contribute to my inner peace?\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon invites us to \"be love\" in thought and action. It also reminds us that our mindfulness and open heart make a difference, not only in our own life, but in the world. Before taking action (or if you are simply feeling ambitious about something) ask yourself: What would love do? What would my heart say, if it had words and could speak?\r\n\r\nRather than pushing, over-thinking or giving up, I invite you to conduct small, simple experiments and have faith in universal support…\r\n\r\n<b>For the next two weeks</b>, ask yourself: Where is the balance point of intellect and intuition? Striving and surrender? What if I trusted 5% more in the \"perfect\" outcome?\r\n\r\n<i>To sum it all up:</i> This Full Moon reminds us that, no matter what chaos, intensity and craziness might be going on outside of us, we have only to look inside to find our truth, to find peace. It’s in our hearts that we\'ll find what matters -- and what we can believe in whole-heartedly. Peace comes from within, from each one of us... We are what we choose to be in every “moment of now”... so choose wisely!\r\n\r\nAs best as you can therefore, simply observe like a scientist, from a place of neutrality and curiosity. Notice what serves you in the moment.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/discernment-from-the-heart/\">To learn more about all aspects connected to this month\'s Full Moon, please click here to watch my video</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point, or personal planets in 9-13 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>?

We see the bigger picture, communicate more positively and readily inspire others.\r\n\r\nWe are tolerant of other perspectives and ideas, naturally avoid narrow-minded thinking, and feel at ease reconnecting with people from all walks of life. We might be drawn to exploring foreign languages, cultures, spiritual practices and countries.

These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Saturday night,</strong> the <em>Jupiter Station intensifies in 23 degrees of <strong>Scorpio, </strong></em>as it is preparing to come to a halt next week Thursday. This station will last <b>until March 20th</b>.\r\n\r\nJupiter represents our desire to seek insight through deep knowledge. Some of this planet\'s keywords: morality; gratitude; hope; honor; the law. Jupiter is the planet of possibility, optimism, wisdom, understanding and growth (including mental and spiritual growth). Jupiter is also associated with our <i>sense of humor</i>, generosity, tolerance, goodwill, and mercy (<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/feb-19-25/\">see last week\'s blog entry for more details</a>).\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 21-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Taurus, Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> will be more affected by this station. This is also true for those of us with their Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 4th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking </i><strong><b><i>Libra</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Saturday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Sun/Neptune alignment in almost 14 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 8:54am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday morning on; it will remain strong until next week Wednesday morning (March 7th) . </strong>This alignment asks that we slow down and go within, allow for all energies to move through us -- being present and compassionate are the higher vibrations of this alignment -- we are more aware than ever that all things are interconnected.\r\n\r\nFeeling things -- and allowing everyone (ourselves included) to \"have their feelings\" -- is highly recommended. When we start to resist the flow of life, the flow of feeling, we will create fear and suffering. The remedy is to open our hearts and let love flow through us.\r\n\r\nWhen we get quiet and allow ourselves to be still for a moment, we sense our interconnectedness with all living things, our spiritual roots, the sacredness of all.\r\n\r\nIf, on the other hand, we are unable to connect to our divine essence, if we focus only on what\'s outside of us, we will feel separate -- and this illusion of separateness might cause us to look for an escape from our harsh \"realities\".\r\n\r\nWhat might be possible if we simply let go of fear-based thinking altogether for a moment, and instead simply connected to our wise heart, trusting the perfection of each \"now\" moment? What if we were to let go of all expectations and open our heart to the miracle of life?\r\n\r\nThis is about surrendering to the moment of now, to love, to our heart -- not about giving up -- rather, allowing \"what is\" to be ok, to see the perfection of \"right now\".\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 11-17 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b><i>(The Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early afternoon</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Venus alignment in almost 26 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 1:05pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday on; it will remain strong until next week, Thursday evening (March 8th). </strong>This is an excellent time to share about love, compassion, animals, spiritual endeavors, some ideal, music, dreams, meditation techniques -- or anything we feel intuitive connected to -- and also about any teaching endeavors connected to those areas.\r\n\r\nThis alignment supports communicating from a compassionate, intuitive heart -- and in fact, it becomes essential to connect to people with whom we feel a strong affinity. We wish to form those connections in a spirit of harmony, sensitivity and equality. In fact, we generally tend to have a strong sense of fairness at this time, and want to be around people who share these values.\r\n\r\nWe also thoroughly enjoy the written and spoken word -- literature, wordplay, puns, moving conversations -- especially when the words are imaginative and speak of something romantic, inspiring, spiritual or creative.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>?

Remember: what you can do for yourself, you can do for others more easily, and vice versa.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, whatever you do <i>or</i> don\'t communicate: cut yourself a little slack. Being human means making mistakes from time to time; there is no shame in that -- we always learn the most from our mistakes -- mistakes are our gold.\r\n\r\nDouble-check: does avoiding or judging my past mistakes actually serve me? Or anyone else? Could I be open to the possibility that all \"mistakes\" -- past, present and future -- exist to serve my evolution?  If that were true: what would need reevaluating?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 24-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

Social situations might feel awkward.\r\n\r\nWe may experience emotional triggers, so as best as you can, bring compassion and understanding to yourself, to others, and to those past experiences that wounded you. We need to learn to love ourselves, and heal deep fears of being \"not good enough\".

On Thursday, Mercury enters its shadow phase and Jupiter comes to a complete halt as it starts its 4-month retrograde phase. Lastly, on Friday morning, the last Quarter Moon in Sagittarius becomes exact.\r\n\r\nThere will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Monday very early morning (for a little over 7.5 hours), Wednesday very early morning (for a little over 13 hours), and Friday late evening (for almost 7.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (March 5th):</strong> <em>The Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong> until 8:23am EST</strong>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday very early morning at 1:19am EST, </strong>we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&amp;q=https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1519834911779000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGFGZ17skEnKIsKbpcRC91A0HqnJA\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7.5 hours, <strong>until 8:23am EST</strong>. If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it to examine your one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?<!--more-->\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday morning ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 8:23am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday early evening</strong>.<b> </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 6th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b>(see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 2:34am EST</strong>, <i>Mercury changes signs from dreamy, creative</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>to enthusiastic, direct</i> <b><i>Aries. </i></b>It will journey through this courageous sign, for an unusually long time, <b>until </b><b>May 13th</b> (due to its 3-week retrograde phase that starts on March 22nd).<i> </i>During this time, our thinking speeds up, and we are eager for new endeavors.\r\n\r\nGiven that we want to achieve our goals as quickly as possible, we may come off impulsive and impatient, and must therefore speak (and get answers) faster. Nothing stands in our way now: we are ready, we are brave, we want what we want and we want it now ;-)\r\n\r\nAs you can perhaps imagine, we need to watch out for blurting things out prematurely or inappropriately; as best you can, choose your words carefully and pause before responding ;-)\r\n\r\nRemember, everyone else is feeling the Aries energy quite strongly too, so do your best to not take it personally if someone ignores what you want, or says something insensitive. Keep the focus on yourself instead -- and take responsibility for how you are communicating or expressing yourself.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel especially chatty for the next 9 weeks. Your mental energy will be quite active and you feel the need to connect to others -- whether it be in person, via email, over the phone or via social media. New ideas and new connections are very likely. </i>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel a tremendous energy burst for the next 9 weeks: really enthusiastic and physically strong.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:45pm EST, </strong><i>Venus changes signs from intuitive, creative, </i><i>dreamy </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> to fast-paced, enthusiastic, active </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>,</i><i> </i>where it will journey <strong>until March 31st. </strong>Until then, we are going to feel passionate about connecting to others. We are ready to make a new start: if you are single, this could be a great chance to start something new (all things being equal ;-)\r\n\r\nWith Venus in <strong>Aries</strong>, spontaneity and independence are important to us. You’re not the only one who likes a challenge, so don\'t make it too easy for others to win you over ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you are already in a committed relationship, you get a wonderful chance to bring freshness and excitement to your bedroom and \"other parts of the house\" ;-) We also have more energy than usual; we are more likely to want to get out of the house, and be active with others.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, beauty and love will enter your life during this time, you will feel more attractive and you will attract things to you. As a </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i>, you will feel more energized, passionate and more direct than usual.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 7th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><strong><b><i>Scorpio</i></b></strong><strong> until 5:03pm EST</strong> (see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 3:55am EST</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 13 hours, <strong>until 5:03pm EST</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with others on a deep emotional level, and explore greater truths about your ability to make those authentic connections.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday morning and afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 5:03pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i>, </b>where it will journey<i> <strong>until Saturday early morning</strong></i><b>. </b>We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things. This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Friday morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 8th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b></strong> (see Wednesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday around 11pm EST, </strong><i>Mercury enters a 3-week shadow phase</i><i>, as it reaches 4 degrees and 47 minutes of </i><b><i>Aries. </i></b>This precedes the retrograde phase, which will begin on March 22nd in almost 17 degrees of <b>Aries</b> (more on that in 3 weeks).\r\n\r\nSo what is the \"shadow phase\"? To explain this, I\'ll quickly cover what happens when a planet \"stations\" and then goes \"retrograde\".\r\n\r\nRelative to us on Earth, a planet sometimes looks like it is slowing down (\"stationing\"), then stopping. After being still for a while, it actually appears to go \"backward\" through the sky (this is the \"retrograde\" phase). It\'s a little like catching up to a car on the highway, driving exactly alongside it for a moment, then passing it and pulling ahead.\r\n\r\nAt first, retrograde movement is slow, but the planet gradually reaches its normal pace through the sky -- except it\'s going backward. The process then reverses itself: the backward pace slows, the planet crawls to a \"halt\", then it starts to move forward again (i.e. it goes direct). In our car analogy, it\'s like the car you just passed gradually speeds up and passes you again.\r\n\r\nThere are also two \"shadow\" phases -- during these, the planet travels over a part of the sky it will later \"revisit\". The first \"shadow\" comes before the planet moves backward; the second comes when the planet starts to catch back up (after going direct).\r\n\r\nIt\'s like you went hiking and left something behind at camp. If you went back to get it, you\'d have some catching up to do, and would see the same scenery twice or more.\r\n\r\nMercury\'s shadow phases usually last 2-3 weeks before and after the Retrograde phase.\r\n\r\nIf you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items -- especially connected to transportation (cars, airline tickets, etc.) or communication devices (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) -- be aware of the shadow periods as well as the retrograde phases. If possible, get these things done before Mercury enters it\'s shadow or wait until after the shadow phases are over -- that would be <strong>May 3rd</strong> in this case ;-)\r\n\r\nOf course, if there is something that <i>must</i> get done during these phases, don\'t put your whole life on hold, just because Mercury is retrograde or in it\'s shadow. Sometimes things line up exactly at the right time; as best as you can, trust that it\'s all \"perfect\" ;-)\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Thursday late evening, at 11:45pm EST, </strong><i>Jupiter comes to a halt </i>at 23 degrees of <strong>Scorpio</strong>,<b> </b>starting its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. The retrograde phases are inner processes -- they help us connect to a particular energy internally, and thus express it externally (once Jupiter goes direct again). Jupiter retrograde brings a chance to tap inner wisdom, optimism and sense of possibility, and an inner understanding of how the world works. This retrograde phase lasts <b>until July 10th.</b>\r\n\r\nDuring this time, we get to choose what we truly believe -- which beliefs serve us and which don\'t -- and we can more easily let go of limiting beliefs and experience new truths. While retrograde in <strong>Scorpio</strong> -- here are some coaching questions:\r\n\r\nWhat do I believe about my intimate partnerships? About empowerment? Disempowerment? Deep authentic connections? Where am I making assumptions that do not serve me? What might be holding me back?\r\n\r\nThe connection to inner wisdom is heightened. Ask yourself: What do I “just know”? If the answer is “I don’t know”, ask yourself “What if I did know? What mighty it be in that case?”\r\n\r\nFeel free to <a href=\"https://youtu.be/JtMJiPnnZWc\">check out my 30-minute excerpt</a> from my webinar about the Jupiter and Mercury Station and Retrograde phases in March: https://youtu.be/JtMJiPnnZWc\r\n\r\nAnd if you want to know how that will impact you personally, feel free to buy the whole 90+ min. webinar on the subject --  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a> -- we talked about what to expect for the next 4 weeks, and how it all applies to our own birth charts ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> 12-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this retrograde phase. This is also true for those of us who have our</i><i> Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter rules Sagittarius, so Sagittarius will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (March 9th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b> </strong>(see Wednesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 6:20am EST, </strong><i>the last Quarter Moon in almost 19 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b> will be exact.<b> </b>The Moon in adventurous, truth-seeking <b>Sagittarius</b> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in sensitive, dreamy, compassionate<b> Pisces. </b>This may bring up some challenges. However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to March 17th\'s New Moon in <strong>Pisces</strong>. We are thus best served by reviewing projects begun since the last New Moon in mid February (which was also a Solar Eclipse).\r\n\r\nWhat -- if anything -- needs adjustments? What did you discover since Feb. 15th? What did it mean for you? As best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-21 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Gemini</i></b><i>, <b>Pisces, </b>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s last Quarter Moon.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 9:27pm EST</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for almost 7.5 hours, <strong>until at 4:52am EST (Saturday early morning)</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self — explore, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday night and Saturday early morning ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 10th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b></strong>and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><strong> until 4:52am EST </strong>(see Wednesday late afternoon and Friday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 4:52am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Monday evening (March 12th)</strong><b>. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Starting tomorrow</strong> (Sunday, March 11th), my full <em>Weekly Forecast</em> and <em>Full Moon videos</em> are only going to be available to my new online community. <b>For a limited time only,</b> you can continue receiving all of the wonderful forecasts uninterrupted, for the price of a Cappuccino!

At 2am, Daylight Saving Time begins in the US, turning the clocks forward an hour -- and so we are moving from EST (Eastern Standard Time) to EDT (Eastern Daylight Saving Time) until November.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning, </strong><em>a challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:00am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (March 13th). </strong>This aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature. Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to your passions, while remaining committed to exploring them one step at a time. What is my life calling me to explore? Could I go for it (one step at a time)?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Saturn rules Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning, </strong><em>a harmonious Mars/Uranus aspect </em>becomes exact at 7:23am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday on; it will remain strong until next week Friday (March 16th). </strong>This aspect signals a time when our energy level is much higher than usual -- among other effects, we may find we can work for long hours without fatigue, or feel \"driven\", especially in new and unusual directions.\r\n\r\nIt could be that we receive backing from unusual sources. In general, our efforts are successful and we scale new heights of originality. As best as you can, stay open to new and unexpected things. Highly recommended: Group activities, group causes and connecting to like-minded people from all over the world.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or one or more personal planets) in the following: 23-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Aries,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Leo, </i></b><i>or </i><i>0 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler Aries; Uranus rules Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Sunday morning, </strong><em>an opportune Sun/Pluto aspect </em>becomes exact at 7:56am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until Monday night. </strong>This is an opportunity to bring a sense of compassion and creativity to whatever needs restructuring or rebuilding in our lives.\r\n\r\nIt’s also an opportunity to notice how obsessed we’ve become about manifesting something real/authentic and soften our approach a little. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to make something of it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.

Given that this is a powerful and fairly long-lasting aspect, I figured I would write a special blog entry about it.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687963\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687965\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">Let’s first talk about what T-Squares are in general, before diving into the specifics of this particular one:</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687966\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687968\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">The first thing you need to know is that T-squares are very dynamic aspects, that keep us “on our toes”, constantly growing. We can learn a tremendous amount when we work actively and consciously with the energies involved in a T-Square. </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687969\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687971\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">So what exactly are they?</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687972\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687974\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">Imagine a dinner table with four legs. Now remove one of the legs. You now have two legs “opposite” each other and a third one at right angles to each of the other two; together, they make the shape of a “T”. </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687975\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687977\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">This is not a very stable, well-balanced table, as it has an “empty” spot where a leg should be.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687978\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687980\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">Likewise, a T-Square is a formation of 3 planets that together form the shape of a “T” in a chart — two form an “opposition”, the third one usually “squares” them both. </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687981\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687983\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">The third planet is known as the “focus planet”. Just like our table, this planet has an “empty leg” directly across from it in the chart.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687984\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687986\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">Why does this matter? Because the “focus planet” in a T-Square brings more stress, and thus a more urgent demand for our growth. We resolve and relieve that stress, and thereby ease the growth process, by bringing the focus planet’s higher expression to that “empty leg” in the chart. </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687987\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687989\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">Let’s get down to the specifics of this particular T-square:</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687990\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"><b></b>\r\n</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687992\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">As previously mentioned, it involves <b>Pluto in Capricorn, Jupiter in Libra, and Uranus in Aries.</b> All of these planets have been within 5 degrees of each other since the T-Square formed back in November and will remain so until early April. Jupiter in Libra and Uranus in Aries form the “opposition” legs of the table, while Pluto in Capricorn is the \"focus planet\".</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687993\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687995\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">This is a very powerful combo.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687996\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687998\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">It\'s asking us to be completely honest, with ourselves and others, about our intentions and motivations -- especially around long-term goals. We are also asking this of our leaders right now, we want them to be honest, to have authentic intentions.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-687999\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688001\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">This aspect brings the message that each of us has the power to make a difference in the world… that we need not just give our power away to world “leaders” or “influencers”. It’s saying “We all have power, we all can make a difference — Own that! Seize the moment! Take up your courage with both hands and move forward!\"</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688002\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688004\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">We are at a turning point: Empowering others is now key! Notice when you try to force your beliefs on others — that could introduce an element of disempowerment for them and us.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688005\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688007\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">There is also some tension between relationships and long-term goals. We may ask how our relationships support us in accomplishing those long-term goals. At the root of this are seemingly conflicting desires: We want to expand our experience of harmony, balance and collaboration, all while passionately building something empowering over the long haul. It\'s not always easy to “square” these energies.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688008\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688010\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">As best as you can, stay flexible, make adjustments, find creative solutions when it comes to these very different desires and focuses. If we feel boxed in to something inauthentic, we may rebel or act contrary. This will be even more true within our relationships -- this could bring in some restlessness or instability, perhaps related to our business relationships or long-term goals. </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688011\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688013\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">As best as you can, don\'t take things too personally -- and stay as flexible as possible. Allow there to be breakthroughs, shifts, changes. As always, change could be uncomfortable — perhaps because we like what\'s familiar -- or because we want change so badly that we can\'t handle the in-between phase that comes will all transitions… it’s an invitation to stretch ourselves and step into the unknown.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688014\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688016\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">Here’s some \"self-coaching” questions to ease you on your way:</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688017\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688019\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">What if that \"something unexpected” around the corner was guaranteed to change my life for the better?

Earlier, we mentioned that the “focus planet” is Pluto in Capricorn:</span></i></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688023\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688025\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">This T-square is thus asking us to stretch and grow along another dimension: we are invited to empower ourselves in the world by connecting to our \"feeling body” and by developing a deeper understanding of our physical and emotional needs (especially for safety).</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688026\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688028\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">At the same time, we are also invited to stretch ourselves to create a more authentic and empowered society -- one that honors the unique, individual contribution of <i>everyone</i> -- one capable of owning its fears and less attractive characteristics. How might we bring this about? The best place to start is to honor ourselves and express our unique spark. </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688029\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688031\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">All of this accelerates the breakdown of long-standing patterns: we are invited individually and collectively to resolve core karmic lessons -- shifting from an old paradigm to a new one. </span>What might a \"new paradigm\" be?</div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688032\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688034\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">How can we accomplish change without discounting input from others? </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688035\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688037\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">What if change were something we could simply allow, rather than something that involved aggression?</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688038\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688040\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">As best as you can, take it one moment at a time, there is no need to rush anything ;-) Ask yourself: Could I allow myself to be uncomfortable, just for right now?</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688041\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688043\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">The position of this T-square in our birth chart shows the area of life in which we are developing not only courage and initiative (Aries), but also diplomacy and collaborative spirit (Libra)<i>, together with</i> responsibility and integrity (Capricorn). </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688044\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688046\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">This T-Square is also asking us to redefine personal and collective freedom. We are invited to release old patterns, particularly around gender, so we can each fulfill our unique role at this critical juncture on Earth. Much like the 1960’s, we are laying the groundwork for future generations right now.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688047\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688049\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">Just as was true then, we need to let our vision direct our thoughts and actions, rather than our fear.

We’re seeking harmony and balance.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688074\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688076\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">Life is so short in relationship to the life of the planet. That we are not in this body for very long, means that there is a certain degree of urgency -- almost like a responsibility — to make it count for something. If we are like a single drop of rain in a mighty rainstorm, why not at least be a drop that makes a ripple when it returns to the ocean? Who knows, perhaps as your ripple meets others, it might create a beautiful resonance with everything around it -- a harmony that ripples down through eternity…</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688077\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688079\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">I therefore invite you to be passionate about life.

This is true always, of course, but holds especially true until the end of the T-Square in early April.</span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688096\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\"> </span></div>\r\n<div id=\"ctrl-688098\"><span style=\"color: #231f20; font-family: verdana;\">Some of us struggle with this.

It felt like quite a \"Chiron-ish\" week, if there is such a thing ;-) Another Chiron-related theme for the week was my bringing greater awareness to my emotional triggers and how I deal with them. I\'m happy to say that I got lots of amazing support with all of this -- thank you, to all the angels in my life :-)\n<h3>Before we get to this week\'s forecast:</h3>\nI would like to share with you some important announcements for 2018. The first announcement is about my new Astrology Online Community that I am in the process of creating, the second announcement it about the Forecasting Forum in January 2018: a look ahead at the whole Year! <a href=\"https://youtu.be/AAUG4EKXSzc\">Click here to watch a brief video for more details</a>\n\n<strong>This week\'s headline items:</strong> the New Moon in Sagittarius becomes exact on Monday, very early in the morning -- and the Chiron Station ends that day as well. Mercury begins its station-phase on Tuesday, and comes to a halt on Friday evening -- ending its 3-week retrograde phase. Saturn changes signs from Sagittarius to Capricorn, Tuesday late evening and Uranus begins its station-phase on Wednesday -- slowing down and preparing to change direction. The Sun changes signs from Sagittarius to Capricorn on Thursday, late in the morning, marking the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere.\n\n<strong>There will only be four <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week:</strong> Monday morning (for 23 minutes), Wednesday late morning (for a little over 10.5 hours), Saturday early morning (for almost 4.5 hours), and Sunday late evening (for a little over 21.5 hours).\n\n<strong>Monday (December 18th):</strong> the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius until 8:33am EST.\n\nSunday night/Monday very early morning, at 1:30am EST, the New Moon in 26.5 degrees of Sagittarius becomes exact. With the New Moon in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius, we seek to expand our day-to-day knowledge and look for the larger truth. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/new-moon-in-sagittarius-dec-2017-perception-and-perspective/\">Also feel free to watch my New Moon video on the subject</a>\n\nAsk yourself: What might I see if I zoomed out for the wider view? Does my life as it is now reflect my philosophy -- and vice versa?\n\nThe New Moon closely aligns with Saturn and Venus in Sagittarius, and Mercury is still retrograde in Sagittarius as well. This spurs us to question our assumptions. Ask yourself: What fundamental assumptions do I make about others? About life itself? Love? My relationships? What does my direct experience show me?\n\nTake a look at your conditioning and programming too: What messages did I receive from my parents, teachers, religion, and culture? How does my actual experience differ from what I was taught? Where do I still follow old programming, rather than listening to the wisdom of my heart and soul?\n\nSaturn is in its last degree of Sagittarius and is therefore exalted at the time of the New Moon; it will move into Capricorn until 2020, a little less than two days after this New Moon becomes exact!\n\nThis heightens the universal request for us to take responsibility for our own perceptions and attitudes towards life -- to take a good look at our horizons and think again -- but this time, with maturity and realism. It directs us to discard outdated beliefs and determine our own indicators for progress, truth, and fulfillment.\n\nAsk yourself: What do I see from where I stand? What is my understanding about life? How has my perception of myself and my life changed in the last three years?\n\nIf you want to know how Saturn\'s journey in Capricorn will impact you personally in the next three years, feel free <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/saturn-in-capricorn-until-2020/\">to purchase my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, click here</a> or for a quick preview <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/saturn/5067/\">check out this 30-minute excerpt</a> of the webinar\n\nThe Sun and Moon in Sagittarius also trine Uranus in Aries and square Chiron in Pisces.\n\nThe Trine to Uranus connects excitement to our vision for the future and our willingness to try something new and break away from \"old\" outdated ways of doing things. You could ask yourself: What if I took 5% more responsibility for my own reality? It ways could this be the key to creating a better future?\n\nThe Square to Chiron, aka the \"Wounded Healer\", is asking us to take a closer look at any old wounds and memories of shame or separation. If we get triggered, we can look to see where in the past the trigger originated; then, as best as we can, bring compassion and understanding to that wounded, shamed, or abandoned part of ourselves.\n\nAs humans, we experience pain, shame, and separation, but can heal through the unconditional love and self-acceptance of the spirit-human alliance. Ask yourself: What might be possible if I was willing to just \"be with\" my insecurities and past wounding, without needing to fix them? What if my attempts to fix them was what was actually keeping me from seeing the divine perfection of it all?\n\nRather than looking to be saved, we are learning to ultimately embody our own divinity — to realize that we are all divine beings, and to live accordingly, knowing that everyone and everything is connected.\n\nFor those of you who want to have a better understanding of your personal healing journey, feel free to get the recording of my Chiron-workshop: \"Healing with Astrology\", available for FREE when joining my online community: <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\">Click here for more info</a>\n\nAs the ruler of Sagittarius, Jupiter features strongly in this New Moon chart; the planet is currently in Scorpio, making a trine to Neptune in Pisces and squaring the Moon Nodes.\n\nJupiter\'s Trine to Neptune supports the opening of our heart and mind to spiritual realities beyond the borders of our previous understandings. Neptune represents unconditional love -- this is not based on personality or preference, but on the remembrance that we are all one with the Cosmos, eternally exploring and evolving.\n\nNeptune in Pisces asks us to have faith in the infinite support we receive every day from the universe — whether our mind understands it or not (what we understand with the mind is very different from what we comprehend with the heart).\n\nSeeing through the illusion of separation from the divine is perhaps the greatest perspective shift of all. What might be possible if we allowed ourselves to glance past our filters and glimpse the truth of who we are?\n\nJupiter in Scorpio also squares the Moon Nodes in Leo/Aquarius, asking us to share our deepest secrets, in order to help transform past traumas. We are being asked to take a 90-degree turn, to gain a new perspective, to explore different avenues, leading to different outcomes, especially in regards to our intimate relationships, our ability to connect on a deep emotional level, and in regards to sharing our resources with others.\n\nWe are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we want to focus on having more fun, joy and self-expression in our lives; on the other, we are asked to expand and learn about our inner experiences, our deeper issues — and to find a new perspective for who we are deep down, then communicate and share this, so we can shine consciousness and light on it.\n\nIn order to get to a place of greater joy on an individual level, one where we truly feel grateful for our lives, we need to first transform our perspective on old traumas and other deep issues from our past.\n\nIf this New Moon had a core message, it would be: Honor old patterns and struggles while releasing your attachments to them. As best as you can, provide yourself with compassion and understanding -- embrace your humanity in all its extraordinary capabilities and in its healing capacity. Ask yourself: Why am I here? Where am I going? What beliefs call out for reassessment? What do I believe -- and what do I simply “know”? Where do I need to take a leap of faith... or simply trust?\n\nBe open to shifting your perceptions. Where have I made assumptions? Which one of my \"filters\" could I do without for a while, just as an exercise in freedom?\n\nKeep looking at what needs to heal and keep taking responsibility for the \"deeper\" issues in your life. Where am I being challenged to \"be with what is\"? What does \"spiritual maturity\" mean to me?  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/new-moon-in-sagittarius-dec-2017-perception-and-perspective/\">Again, feel free to watch my New Moon video on the subject</a>\n\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 24-29 degrees of Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, Pisces? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</em>\n\nThe New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle. Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely not during a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the best time to set intentions would be any time between 1:30am until 8:10am EST Monday morning (Dec. 18th); and then again from 8:33am EST on Monday (Dec. 18th) until 1:30am EST Wednesday very early morning (Dec. 20th).\n\n<strong>Monday at 8:10am EST,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for 23 minutes, until 8:33am EST. Use this intuitive time to focus on long-term projects that involve a truthful perspective or an adventure into the truth. As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.\n\n<strong>Monday at 8:33am EST,</strong> the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Wednesday evening. We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\n\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\n\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\n\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it\'s still transiting through Sagittarius until Tuesday late evening, making this a great time to take a long, last look at our belief structures, explore limiting beliefs and bust through conditioned thought structures. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at the \"meaning of life\".\n\nAs best as you can, be authentic about your beliefs: Do they actually match your direct experience of life -- as it is for you now, rather than 5 or 10 years ago? What is true as of now? What is not?\n\n<strong>Tuesday (Dec. 19th):</strong> the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn all day (see Monday morning for details). If you haven\'t set your New Moon Intentions yet, <strong>today (Tuesday all day)</strong> is still time to do so during the most potent time... If you\'d like some input on how to do that, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">check out this article</a> -- you could also <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/new-moon-in-sagittarius-dec-2017-perception-and-perspective/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(re-)watch my New Moon video</a>\n\n<strong>Tuesday at 11:49pm EST,</strong> Saturn changes signs from adventurous, truth-seeking and enthusiastic Sagittarius to practical, accomplishment-oriented and responsible Capricorn, where it will journey until Dec., 2020 (except for the period between March and July of 2020, when it will temporarily move into Aquarius, giving us preview of what\'s to come beyond Capricorn).\n\nSaturn feels quite comfortable in Capricorn, as that planet \"rules\" this earth sign; you might say that Capricorn and Saturn have a lot in common and understand each other. Here are some key characteristics that apply to both:\n\nBuilding long-lasting structures, diligence, effort, persistence in the face of no immediate rewards (i.e. deferred gratification), resilience, achievement, ambition, being goal-oriented, planning ahead, self-discipline, a mature, realistic approach, patience, hard work, integrity, manifestation through consistent application, setting heathy boundaries, focusing on what\'s within our control, taking our time, slowing down, karma (you reap what you sow), working towards becoming an authority of some kind... You get the idea :-)\n\nSo, between now and Dec. 2020, we are invited to look for practical applications for our ambitions. We may well be firming up our long-term goals -- this transit is a time to focus on building a secure foundation in our professional lives.\n\nSaturn in Capricorn also reminds us that in order to build or bring forth our visions, we need to look at the practical implications -- we need to slow down and take our time, if we are to manifest something that can withstand the test of time -- something that is of value to society, not just to a few.\n\nHowever, before we can know exactly what path to take, we must know where we currently stand -- we have to be realistic about \"where we\'re at\" to know what steps to take.\n\nIt\'s a time when we are working hard, taking on our fair share of duties and responsibilities, and either reaping some of the rewards of our hard work or facing the consequences of poor choices. We are invited, individually and collectively, to apply our newly refined ethics and life perspectives in a healthy and productive way.\n\nThink back to the period between Nov. 1988 and Feb. 1991 -- the last time Saturn made this journey: What did you accomplish back then, in regards to long-term goals, or the building of healthy foundations in your life? What area of life got a lot of your attention and focus in those days? Where did you have to apply yourself and have patience?\n\nBy the way, if you were born during that time period, you will experience your first \"Saturn Return\" within the next three years... (and if you were born between January, 1959 and January, 1962, you\'re coming up on your second Saturn Return).\n\nIf you want to know how Saturn\'s journey in Capricorn will impact you personally in the next three years, feel free <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/saturn-in-capricorn-until-2020/\">to purchase my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, click here</a> or for a quick preview <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/saturn/5067/\">check out this 30-minute excerpt</a> of the webinar.\n\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Capricorn or Aquarius? If so, you will most likely feel a greater sense of responsibility, a need to be more realistic, serious and mature.</em>\n\nAlso on <strong>Tuesday,</strong> Mercury starts to slow down (station) in 13/14 degrees of Sagittarius, in preparation to come to a halt on Friday (Dec. 22nd) -- ending its 3-week retrograde phase. This station will last until Dec. 27th, and during this time, we will feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\n\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments once Mercury is moving direct again (to be more precise, during the shadow phase that follows -- for more details on Mercury Shadow Phases and Retrogrades, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">click here</a>)\n\nFor the next 8 days, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\n\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (if possible): wait until after Jan. 10th, when the shadow phase is over.\n\nSome of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have Gemini or Virgo as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 13-14 degrees of Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo or Pisces.\n\n<strong>Wednesday (Dec. 20th)</strong>: the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn until 9:29pm EST (see Monday morning for details).\n\n<strong>Wednesday at 10:37am EST,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 10.5 hours, until 9:29pm EST. You may be aware of two seemingly conflicting desires: On the one hand, a need for serious, diligent accomplishment -- and on the other, a desire to break free and rebel against obligations.\n\nAs best as you can, take some breaks, and \"let your freak flag fly\" -- just for a moment -- and revel in it! As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday (late morning until late evening) ahead of time ;-)\n\n<strong>Wednesday mid-afternoon,</strong> a challenging Venus/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 2:10pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Sunday night on; it will remain strong until this Friday evening. This aspect asks us to stretch past injuries and insecurities in our relationships, self-worth and finances. If we can bring compassion and a different point of view to these issues, we will reach a new understanding of ourselves and our life journey.\n\nWe have the opportunity to learn from one another; ironically though, social insecurities can be magnified at this time. Whenever Chiron is involved, we are being asked to do some healing work. As best as you can, use this time to learn about your sore spots. Nobody is perfect: we all have our flaws and idiosyncrasies. It\'s ok.\n\nIf you get triggered by someone, as best as you can, take it as an opportunity to see where this trigger originated -- probably in your childhood. Bring love and compassion to yourself as you are, and as you were. Allow any feelings this may stir up in you. A feeling is just energy that wants to be experienced; it wants to move through us and out.\n\nThe more we resist our feelings, the more we keep them spinning in place. As best as you can, move from the head to the heart. What might change, if you had 5% more compassion with yourself and others? What if you just decided to have faith in the healing process?\n\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: 21-28 degrees of Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini or Virgo? If so, you are more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus or Libra (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).</em>\n\n<strong>Wednesday evening,</strong> a harmonious Venus/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 6:13pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Sunday night on; it will remain strong until this Friday evening. This aspect helps us to embrace all that is new and unusual in romance and finance. We are ready to experiment -- but not to commit. We have an offbeat, pleasant attitude and people are more willing to socialize.\n\nThis is an especially good time for financial undertakings involving any of the following: technology and the internet; metaphysics; the arts; group activities. We lose our fear of taking risks at this time, this could be a good couple of days for the stock market indexes…or at the very least, an unpredictable one :-)\n\n<em>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 21-28 degrees of Sagittarius, Aries or Leo? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Aquarius (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Uranus rules Aquarius)</em>\n\n<strong>Wednesday at 9:29pm EST,</strong> the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius, where it will journey until Saturday late morning. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\n\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\n\n<strong>Thursday (Dec. 21st):</strong> the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius all day (see Wednesday evening for details).\n\n<strong>Thursday at 11:28am EST,</strong> the Sun changes signs from optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius to practical, accomplishment-oriented, status-oriented Capricorn. This also marks the shortest day of the year (in the northern hemisphere) and the beginning of Winter -- aka the Winter Solstice.\n\nThe Solstices are important turning points that take place twice a year: They are energetic gateways for the summer or winter season to come through. Solstice Points are thus extra-potent times to set intentions and take part in ceremonies.\n\nThe Sun will journey through the sign of Capricorn until January 19th. Capricorn is a feet-on-the-ground, eyes-on-the-prize sign. As the Sun travels through it, we take a realistic, grounded approach to life; we know how to do things, and how to get things done.\n\nWe have a stronger sense of society and its structure, and feel most secure when doing our part within that structure; as such, worldly recognition may take on more importance for us. Making plans for the future can be very effective right now. We are more risk-averse at this time but we are ready to work hard and focus on what is essential.\n\n<em>All this is especially true if you are a Leo or Capricorn Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Capricorn, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo, you are more cautious and practical than usual…working towards a realistic long-term goal might be just the thing for you to do.</em>\n\n<strong>Thursday late afternoon,</strong> a Sun/Saturn alignment in 0 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 4:08pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from Monday on; it will remain strong until this Sunday. This alignment brings a more serious tone to our commitments with our long-term goals -- it\'s a time when we are called upon to \"get real\".\n\nThis is especially true for long-term projects that require diligence and self-discipline, but also applies to anything that requires consistency and a mature approach. We are motivated by the desire to manifest tangible results. We are able to focus and work hard right now, especially if we have a goal in mind, welcoming a sense of discipline, structure or order.\n\nRecommended at this time: making new commitments to old goals, taking care of our responsibilities, making careful use of anything that\'s within our control\n\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career point (or any personal planets) in the following: 27-29 degrees of Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, Pisces or 0-3 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries or Libra? If so, you may feel the effects of this alignment more strongly.</em>\n\nAlso on <b>Thursday, </b><i>Uranus begins to slow down</i> -- it will come to a complete halt on Jan. 2nd, prior to starting its direct motion again after its 5-month retrograde phase. We will feel this <i>station</i> <b>until Jan. 14th; </b>until then, anything connected to Uranus\'s energy will come into our awareness quite strongly; we are faced with this planet’s message.\n\nUranus is all about breaking away from traditional structures, moving towards a new future, a future that serves others as well as ourselves. Keyword: Freedom. We might have flashes of insight or new ideas about what needs to change in our lives. Definitely expect the unexpected.\n\nUranus also rules electronics, technology and the internet, so don\'t be surprised if you experience some interruptions or short-term failures in these areas. Group activities are also ruled by Uranus, so these will also be more at the forefront of our awareness. As best as you can, stay open and flexible, go with the flow -- and pay attention to those messages from the Universe ;-)\n\nAs best as you can, take a closer look at whatever is \"in your face\" <b>for the next 3.5 weeks.</b> Our intuitions will be very strong during this time and we have access to sudden insights and ideas. This gives us the opportunity to take a look to see how free we actually feel.\n\nAre we expressing our individuality to the fullest? Are we connecting to a larger vision? Is anything holding us back? What did you discover about visions and freedoms these past 5 months?\n\n<i>Is your Sun-sign or Ascendant in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>? Or do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 22-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this station.</i>\n\n<strong>Friday (Dec. 22nd)</strong>: the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius all day (see Wednesday evening for details).\n\n<strong>Friday at 8:51pm EST,</strong> Mercury comes to a halt in 13 degrees of Sagittarius, and slowly starts its direct motion, after its 3-week retrograde phase. As best as you can, go with the flow, keep an open mind and pay attention to anything that is in your face right now -- you may need to address those issues again, when Mercury moves through its shadow phase…more on that later.\n\nWe are slowly ready to shift our focus back towards the outer world again, taking in new information and sharing from a new perspective. What did you learn about your inner dialog over the past 3 weeks? How might you share your findings in a healthy way with others? What needs to be addressed around your beliefs, perspectives, and attitudes towards life and other people?\n\nWhen Mercury gets back to its regular speed (by Dec. 27th), communication and transportation will get back to normal; the same is true of any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc.\n\nSome of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with Gemini or Virgo as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets (or angles) in 11-15 degrees of  Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, or Pisces.\n\nAs you may recall, I mentioned Mercury shadow phases in this update a few weeks back: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it\'s best to avoid the periods shortly before and after Mercury goes retrograde. This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) This particular shadow phase ends on Jan. 10th. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">Click here to read my blog on the subject</a>.\n\n<strong>Saturday (Dec. 23rd):</strong> the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius until 9:42am EST (see Wednesday evening for details).\n\n<strong>Saturday at 5:13am EST,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 4.5 hours, until 9:42am EST. This is an intuitive time that presents an opportunity to connect to innovative ideas and unique world-views -- so if you can, connect with like-minded people and explore something new.\n\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday morning ahead of time ;-)\n\n<strong>Saturday at 9:42am EST,</strong> the Moon moves into creative, sensitive Pisces, where it will journey until Monday evening. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\n\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\n\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\n\n<strong>Sunday (Dec. 24th):</strong> the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces all day (see Saturday late morning for details).\n\nSunday at 9:48pm EST, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 21.5 hours, until 7:27pm EST (Monday evening). Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect to your higher Self, and if possible, bring a sense of flow and faith to your long-term plans -- especially those you feel really passionate about.\n\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday night and Monday Day ahead of time ;-)\n\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (Dec. 25th):</strong> the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">VoC</a> until 7:27pm EST (see Saturday late morning for details). At 12:26am EST, Venus moves from Sagittarius into Capricorn where it will journey until January 18th 2018. In early afternoon, a Venus/Saturn alignment in 0.5 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 12:55pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Friday on; it will remain strong until this Thursday. At 7:27pm EST, the Moon moves into Aries, where it will journey until Thursday very early morning. More about all the details in next week’s forecast ;-)\n<h3>One Last Announcement:</h3>\nJoin me for my next FORECASTING FORUM, Wednesday, <strong>Jan. 3rd, 2018 at</strong> 1pm PST/ <strong>4pm EST</strong>/9pm GMT (London-time).

It felt like quite a \"Chiron-ish\" week, if there is such a thing ;-) Another Chiron-related theme for the week was my bringing greater awareness to my emotional triggers and how I deal with them. I\'m happy to say that I got lots of amazing support with all of this -- thank you, to all the angels in my life :-)\r\n<h3>Before we get to this week\'s forecast:</h3>\r\nI would like to share with you some important announcements for 2018. The first announcement is about my new Astrology Online Community that I am in the process of creating, the second announcement it about the Forecasting Forum in January 2018: a look ahead at the whole Year! <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAUG4EKXSzc&amp;feature=youtu.be\">Click here to watch a brief video for more details</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>This week\'s headline items:</strong> the New Moon in Sagittarius becomes exact on Monday, very early in the morning -- and the Chiron Station ends that day as well. Mercury begins its station-phase on Tuesday, and comes to a halt on Friday evening -- ending its 3-week retrograde phase. Saturn changes signs from Sagittarius to Capricorn, Tuesday late evening and Uranus begins its station-phase on Wednesday -- slowing down and preparing to change direction. The Sun changes signs from Sagittarius to Capricorn on Thursday, late in the morning, marking the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere.\r\n\r\n<strong>There will only be four <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week:</strong> Monday morning (for 23 minutes), Wednesday late morning (for a little over 10.5 hours), Saturday early morning (for almost 4.5 hours), and Sunday late evening (for a little over 21.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (December 18th):</strong> the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius until 8:33am EST.\r\n\r\nSunday night/Monday very early morning, at 1:30am EST, the New Moon in 26.5 degrees of Sagittarius becomes exact. With the New Moon in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius, we seek to expand our day-to-day knowledge and look for the larger truth. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/new-moon-in-sagittarius-dec-2017-perception-and-perspective/\">Also feel free to watch my New Moon video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What might I see if I zoomed out for the wider view? Does my life as it is now reflect my philosophy -- and vice versa?\r\n\r\nThe New Moon closely aligns with Saturn and Venus in Sagittarius, and Mercury is still retrograde in Sagittarius as well. This spurs us to question our assumptions. Ask yourself: What fundamental assumptions do I make about others? About life itself? Love? My relationships? What does my direct experience show me?\r\n\r\nTake a look at your conditioning and programming too: What messages did I receive from my parents, teachers, religion, and culture? How does my actual experience differ from what I was taught? Where do I still follow old programming, rather than listening to the wisdom of my heart and soul?\r\n\r\nSaturn is in its last degree of Sagittarius and is therefore exalted at the time of the New Moon; it will move into Capricorn until 2020, a little less than two days after this New Moon becomes exact!\r\n\r\nThis heightens the universal request for us to take responsibility for our own perceptions and attitudes towards life -- to take a good look at our horizons and think again -- but this time, with maturity and realism. It directs us to discard outdated beliefs and determine our own indicators for progress, truth, and fulfillment.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What do I see from where I stand? What is my understanding about life? How has my perception of myself and my life changed in the last three years?\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how Saturn\'s journey in Capricorn will impact you personally in the next three years, feel free <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/saturn-in-capricorn-until-2020/\">to purchase my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, click here</a> or for a quick preview <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/saturn/5067/\">check out this 30-minute excerpt</a> of the webinar\r\n\r\nThe Sun and Moon in Sagittarius also trine Uranus in Aries and square Chiron in Pisces.\r\n\r\nThe Trine to Uranus connects excitement to our vision for the future and our willingness to try something new and break away from \"old\" outdated ways of doing things. You could ask yourself: What if I took 5% more responsibility for my own reality? It ways could this be the key to creating a better future?\r\n\r\nThe Square to Chiron, aka the \"Wounded Healer\", is asking us to take a closer look at any old wounds and memories of shame or separation. If we get triggered, we can look to see where in the past the trigger originated; then, as best as we can, bring compassion and understanding to that wounded, shamed, or abandoned part of ourselves.\r\n\r\nAs humans, we experience pain, shame, and separation, but can heal through the unconditional love and self-acceptance of the spirit-human alliance. Ask yourself: What might be possible if I was willing to just \"be with\" my insecurities and past wounding, without needing to fix them? What if my attempts to fix them was what was actually keeping me from seeing the divine perfection of it all?\r\n\r\nRather than looking to be saved, we are learning to ultimately embody our own divinity — to realize that we are all divine beings, and to live accordingly, knowing that everyone and everything is connected.\r\n\r\nFor those of you who want to have a better understanding of your personal healing journey, feel free to get the recording of my Chiron-workshop: \"Healing with Astrology\", available for FREE when joining my online community: <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\">Click here for more info</a>\r\n\r\nAs the ruler of Sagittarius, Jupiter features strongly in this New Moon chart; the planet is currently in Scorpio, making a trine to Neptune in Pisces and squaring the Moon Nodes.\r\n\r\nJupiter\'s Trine to Neptune supports the opening of our heart and mind to spiritual realities beyond the borders of our previous understandings. Neptune represents unconditional love -- this is not based on personality or preference, but on the remembrance that we are all one with the Cosmos, eternally exploring and evolving.\r\n\r\nNeptune in Pisces asks us to have faith in the infinite support we receive every day from the universe — whether our mind understands it or not (what we understand with the mind is very different from what we comprehend with the heart).\r\n\r\nSeeing through the illusion of separation from the divine is perhaps the greatest perspective shift of all. What might be possible if we allowed ourselves to glance past our filters and glimpse the truth of who we are?\r\n\r\nJupiter in Scorpio also squares the Moon Nodes in Leo/Aquarius, asking us to share our deepest secrets, in order to help transform past traumas. We are being asked to take a 90-degree turn, to gain a new perspective, to explore different avenues, leading to different outcomes, especially in regards to our intimate relationships, our ability to connect on a deep emotional level, and in regards to sharing our resources with others.\r\n\r\nWe are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we want to focus on having more fun, joy and self-expression in our lives; on the other, we are asked to expand and learn about our inner experiences, our deeper issues — and to find a new perspective for who we are deep down, then communicate and share this, so we can shine consciousness and light on it.\r\n\r\nIn order to get to a place of greater joy on an individual level, one where we truly feel grateful for our lives, we need to first transform our perspective on old traumas and other deep issues from our past.\r\n\r\nIf this New Moon had a core message, it would be: Honor old patterns and struggles while releasing your attachments to them. As best as you can, provide yourself with compassion and understanding -- embrace your humanity in all its extraordinary capabilities and in its healing capacity. Ask yourself: Why am I here? Where am I going? What beliefs call out for reassessment? What do I believe -- and what do I simply “know”? Where do I need to take a leap of faith... or simply trust?\r\n\r\nBe open to shifting your perceptions. Where have I made assumptions? Which one of my \"filters\" could I do without for a while, just as an exercise in freedom?\r\n\r\nKeep looking at what needs to heal and keep taking responsibility for the \"deeper\" issues in your life. Where am I being challenged to \"be with what is\"? What does \"spiritual maturity\" mean to me?  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/new-moon-in-sagittarius-dec-2017-perception-and-perspective/\">Again, feel free to watch my New Moon video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 24-29 degrees of Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, Pisces? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</em>\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle. Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely not during a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the best time to set intentions would be any time between 1:30am until 8:10am EST Monday morning (Dec. 18th); and then again from 8:33am EST on Monday (Dec. 18th) until 1:30am EST Wednesday very early morning (Dec. 20th).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 8:10am EST,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for 23 minutes, until 8:33am EST. Use this intuitive time to focus on long-term projects that involve a truthful perspective or an adventure into the truth. As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 8:33am EST,</strong> the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Wednesday evening. We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it\'s still transiting through Sagittarius until Tuesday late evening, making this a great time to take a long, last look at our belief structures, explore limiting beliefs and bust through conditioned thought structures. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at the \"meaning of life\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, be authentic about your beliefs: Do they actually match your direct experience of life -- as it is for you now, rather than 5 or 10 years ago? What is true as of now? What is not?\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (Dec. 19th):</strong> the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn all day (see Monday morning for details). If you haven\'t set your New Moon Intentions yet, <strong>today (Tuesday all day)</strong> is still time to do so during the most potent time... If you\'d like some input on how to do that, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">check out this article</a> -- you could also <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/new-moon-in-sagittarius-dec-2017-perception-and-perspective/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(re-)watch my New Moon video</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 11:49pm EST,</strong> Saturn changes signs from adventurous, truth-seeking and enthusiastic Sagittarius to practical, accomplishment-oriented and responsible Capricorn, where it will journey until Dec., 2020 (except for the period between March and July of 2020, when it will temporarily move into Aquarius, giving us preview of what\'s to come beyond Capricorn).\r\n\r\nSaturn feels quite comfortable in Capricorn, as that planet \"rules\" this earth sign; you might say that Capricorn and Saturn have a lot in common and understand each other. Here are some key characteristics that apply to both:\r\n\r\nBuilding long-lasting structures, diligence, effort, persistence in the face of no immediate rewards (i.e. deferred gratification), resilience, achievement, ambition, being goal-oriented, planning ahead, self-discipline, a mature, realistic approach, patience, hard work, integrity, manifestation through consistent application, setting heathy boundaries, focusing on what\'s within our control, taking our time, slowing down, karma (you reap what you sow), working towards becoming an authority of some kind... You get the idea :-)\r\n\r\nSo, between now and Dec. 2020, we are invited to look for practical applications for our ambitions. We may well be firming up our long-term goals -- this transit is a time to focus on building a secure foundation in our professional lives.\r\n\r\nSaturn in Capricorn also reminds us that in order to build or bring forth our visions, we need to look at the practical implications -- we need to slow down and take our time, if we are to manifest something that can withstand the test of time -- something that is of value to society, not just to a few.\r\n\r\nHowever, before we can know exactly what path to take, we must know where we currently stand -- we have to be realistic about \"where we\'re at\" to know what steps to take.\r\n\r\nIt\'s a time when we are working hard, taking on our fair share of duties and responsibilities, and either reaping some of the rewards of our hard work or facing the consequences of poor choices. We are invited, individually and collectively, to apply our newly refined ethics and life perspectives in a healthy and productive way.\r\n\r\nThink back to the period between Nov. 1988 and Feb. 1991 -- the last time Saturn made this journey: What did you accomplish back then, in regards to long-term goals, or the building of healthy foundations in your life? What area of life got a lot of your attention and focus in those days? Where did you have to apply yourself and have patience?\r\n\r\nBy the way, if you were born during that time period, you will experience your first \"Saturn Return\" within the next three years... (and if you were born between January, 1959 and January, 1962, you\'re coming up on your second Saturn Return).\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how Saturn\'s journey in Capricorn will impact you personally in the next three years, feel free <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/saturn-in-capricorn-until-2020/\">to purchase my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, click here</a> or for a quick preview <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/saturn/5067/\">check out this 30-minute excerpt</a> of the webinar.\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Capricorn or Aquarius? If so, you will most likely feel a greater sense of responsibility, a need to be more realistic, serious and mature.</em>\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Tuesday,</strong> Mercury starts to slow down (station) in 13/14 degrees of Sagittarius, in preparation to come to a halt on Friday (Dec. 22nd) -- ending its 3-week retrograde phase. This station will last until Dec. 27th, and during this time, we will feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments once Mercury is moving direct again (to be more precise, during the shadow phase that follows -- for more details on Mercury Shadow Phases and Retrogrades, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">click here</a>)\r\n\r\nFor the next 8 days, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (if possible): wait until after Jan. 10th, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\nSome of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have Gemini or Virgo as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 13-14 degrees of Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo or Pisces.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (Dec. 20th)</strong>: the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn until 9:29pm EST (see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 10:37am EST,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 10.5 hours, until 9:29pm EST. You may be aware of two seemingly conflicting desires: On the one hand, a need for serious, diligent accomplishment -- and on the other, a desire to break free and rebel against obligations.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take some breaks, and \"let your freak flag fly\" -- just for a moment -- and revel in it! As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday (late morning until late evening) ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday mid-afternoon,</strong> a challenging Venus/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 2:10pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Sunday night on; it will remain strong until this Friday evening. This aspect asks us to stretch past injuries and insecurities in our relationships, self-worth and finances. If we can bring compassion and a different point of view to these issues, we will reach a new understanding of ourselves and our life journey.\r\n\r\nWe have the opportunity to learn from one another; ironically though, social insecurities can be magnified at this time. Whenever Chiron is involved, we are being asked to do some healing work. As best as you can, use this time to learn about your sore spots. Nobody is perfect: we all have our flaws and idiosyncrasies. It\'s ok.\r\n\r\nIf you get triggered by someone, as best as you can, take it as an opportunity to see where this trigger originated -- probably in your childhood. Bring love and compassion to yourself as you are, and as you were. Allow any feelings this may stir up in you. A feeling is just energy that wants to be experienced; it wants to move through us and out.\r\n\r\nThe more we resist our feelings, the more we keep them spinning in place. As best as you can, move from the head to the heart. What might change, if you had 5% more compassion with yourself and others? What if you just decided to have faith in the healing process?\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: 21-28 degrees of Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini or Virgo? If so, you are more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus or Libra (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday evening,</strong> a harmonious Venus/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 6:13pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Sunday night on; it will remain strong until this Friday evening. This aspect helps us to embrace all that is new and unusual in romance and finance. We are ready to experiment -- but not to commit. We have an offbeat, pleasant attitude and people are more willing to socialize.\r\n\r\nThis is an especially good time for financial undertakings involving any of the following: technology and the internet; metaphysics; the arts; group activities. We lose our fear of taking risks at this time, this could be a good couple of days for the stock market indexes…or at the very least, an unpredictable one :-)\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 21-28 degrees of Sagittarius, Aries or Leo? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Aquarius (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Uranus rules Aquarius)</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 9:29pm EST,</strong> the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius, where it will journey until Saturday late morning. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (Dec. 21st):</strong> the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius all day (see Wednesday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 11:28am EST,</strong> the Sun changes signs from optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius to practical, accomplishment-oriented, status-oriented Capricorn. This also marks the shortest day of the year (in the northern hemisphere) and the beginning of Winter -- aka the Winter Solstice.\r\n\r\nThe Solstices are important turning points that take place twice a year: They are energetic gateways for the summer or winter season to come through. Solstice Points are thus extra-potent times to set intentions and take part in ceremonies.\r\n\r\nThe Sun will journey through the sign of Capricorn until January 19th. Capricorn is a feet-on-the-ground, eyes-on-the-prize sign. As the Sun travels through it, we take a realistic, grounded approach to life; we know how to do things, and how to get things done.\r\n\r\nWe have a stronger sense of society and its structure, and feel most secure when doing our part within that structure; as such, worldly recognition may take on more importance for us. Making plans for the future can be very effective right now. We are more risk-averse at this time but we are ready to work hard and focus on what is essential.\r\n\r\n<em>All this is especially true if you are a Leo or Capricorn Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Capricorn, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo, you are more cautious and practical than usual…working towards a realistic long-term goal might be just the thing for you to do.</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday late afternoon,</strong> a Sun/Saturn alignment in 0 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 4:08pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from Monday on; it will remain strong until this Sunday. This alignment brings a more serious tone to our commitments with our long-term goals -- it\'s a time when we are called upon to \"get real\".\r\n\r\nThis is especially true for long-term projects that require diligence and self-discipline, but also applies to anything that requires consistency and a mature approach. We are motivated by the desire to manifest tangible results. We are able to focus and work hard right now, especially if we have a goal in mind, welcoming a sense of discipline, structure or order.\r\n\r\nRecommended at this time: making new commitments to old goals, taking care of our responsibilities, making careful use of anything that\'s within our control\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career point (or any personal planets) in the following: 27-29 degrees of Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, Pisces or 0-3 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries or Libra? If so, you may feel the effects of this alignment more strongly.</em>\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Thursday, </b><i>Uranus begins to slow down</i> -- it will come to a complete halt on Jan. 2nd, prior to starting its direct motion again after its 5-month retrograde phase. We will feel this <i>station</i> <b>until Jan. 14th; </b>until then, anything connected to Uranus\'s energy will come into our awareness quite strongly; we are faced with this planet’s message.\r\n\r\nUranus is all about breaking away from traditional structures, moving towards a new future, a future that serves others as well as ourselves. Keyword: Freedom. We might have flashes of insight or new ideas about what needs to change in our lives. Definitely expect the unexpected.\r\n\r\nUranus also rules electronics, technology and the internet, so don\'t be surprised if you experience some interruptions or short-term failures in these areas. Group activities are also ruled by Uranus, so these will also be more at the forefront of our awareness. As best as you can, stay open and flexible, go with the flow -- and pay attention to those messages from the Universe ;-)\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take a closer look at whatever is \"in your face\" <b>for the next 3.5 weeks.</b> Our intuitions will be very strong during this time and we have access to sudden insights and ideas. This gives us the opportunity to take a look to see how free we actually feel.\r\n\r\nAre we expressing our individuality to the fullest? Are we connecting to a larger vision? Is anything holding us back? What did you discover about visions and freedoms these past 5 months?\r\n\r\n<i>Is your Sun-sign or Ascendant in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>? Or do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 22-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this station.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (Dec. 22nd)</strong>: the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius all day (see Wednesday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 8:51pm EST,</strong> Mercury comes to a halt in 13 degrees of Sagittarius, and slowly starts its direct motion, after its 3-week retrograde phase. As best as you can, go with the flow, keep an open mind and pay attention to anything that is in your face right now -- you may need to address those issues again, when Mercury moves through its shadow phase…more on that later.\r\n\r\nWe are slowly ready to shift our focus back towards the outer world again, taking in new information and sharing from a new perspective. What did you learn about your inner dialog over the past 3 weeks? How might you share your findings in a healthy way with others? What needs to be addressed around your beliefs, perspectives, and attitudes towards life and other people?\r\n\r\nWhen Mercury gets back to its regular speed (by Dec. 27th), communication and transportation will get back to normal; the same is true of any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc.\r\n\r\nSome of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with Gemini or Virgo as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets (or angles) in 11-15 degrees of  Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, or Pisces.\r\n\r\nAs you may recall, I mentioned Mercury shadow phases in this update a few weeks back: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it\'s best to avoid the periods shortly before and after Mercury goes retrograde. This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) This particular shadow phase ends on Jan. 10th. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">Click here to read my blog on the subject</a>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (Dec. 23rd):</strong> the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius until 9:42am EST (see Wednesday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 5:13am EST,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 4.5 hours, until 9:42am EST. This is an intuitive time that presents an opportunity to connect to innovative ideas and unique world-views -- so if you can, connect with like-minded people and explore something new.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday morning ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 9:42am EST,</strong> the Moon moves into creative, sensitive Pisces, where it will journey until Monday evening. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (Dec. 24th):</strong> the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces all day (see Saturday late morning for details).\r\n\r\nSunday at 9:48pm EST, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 21.5 hours, until 7:27pm EST (Monday evening). Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect to your higher Self, and if possible, bring a sense of flow and faith to your long-term plans -- especially those you feel really passionate about.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday night and Monday Day ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (Dec. 25th):</strong> the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">VoC</a> until 7:27pm EST (see Saturday late morning for details). At 12:26am EST, Venus moves from Sagittarius into Capricorn where it will journey until January 18th 2018. In early afternoon, a Venus/Saturn alignment in 0.5 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 12:55pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Friday on; it will remain strong until this Thursday. At 7:27pm EST, the Moon moves into Aries, where it will journey until Thursday very early morning. More about all the details in next week’s forecast ;-)\r\n<h3>One Last Announcement:</h3>\r\nJoin me for my next FORECASTING FORUM, Wednesday, <strong>Jan. 3rd, 2018 at</strong> 1pm PST/ <strong>4pm EST</strong>/9pm GMT (London-time).

It felt like quite a \"Chiron-ish\" week, if there is such a thing ;-) Another Chiron-related theme for the week was my bringing greater awareness to my emotional triggers and how I deal with them. I\'m happy to say that I got lots of amazing support with all of this -- thank you, to all the angels in my life :-)\r\n<h3>Before we get to this week\'s forecast:</h3>\r\nI would like to share with you some important announcements for 2018. The first announcement is about my new Astrology Online Community that I am in the process of creating, the second announcement it about the Forecasting Forum in January 2018: a look ahead at the whole Year! <a href=\"https://youtu.be/AAUG4EKXSzc\">Click here to watch a brief video for more details</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>This week\'s headline items:</strong> the New Moon in Sagittarius becomes exact on Monday, very early in the morning -- and the Chiron Station ends that day as well. Mercury begins its station-phase on Tuesday, and comes to a halt on Friday evening -- ending its 3-week retrograde phase. Saturn changes signs from Sagittarius to Capricorn, Tuesday late evening and Uranus begins its station-phase on Wednesday -- slowing down and preparing to change direction. The Sun changes signs from Sagittarius to Capricorn on Thursday, late in the morning, marking the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere.\r\n\r\n<strong>There will only be four <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week:</strong> Monday morning (for 23 minutes), Wednesday late morning (for a little over 10.5 hours), Saturday early morning (for almost 4.5 hours), and Sunday late evening (for a little over 21.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (December 18th):</strong> the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius until 8:33am EST.\r\n\r\nSunday night/Monday very early morning, at 1:30am EST, the New Moon in 26.5 degrees of Sagittarius becomes exact. With the New Moon in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius, we seek to expand our day-to-day knowledge and look for the larger truth. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/new-moon-in-sagittarius-dec-2017-perception-and-perspective/\">Also feel free to watch my New Moon video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What might I see if I zoomed out for the wider view? Does my life as it is now reflect my philosophy -- and vice versa?\r\n\r\nThe New Moon closely aligns with Saturn and Venus in Sagittarius, and Mercury is still retrograde in Sagittarius as well. This spurs us to question our assumptions. Ask yourself: What fundamental assumptions do I make about others? About life itself? Love? My relationships? What does my direct experience show me?\r\n\r\nTake a look at your conditioning and programming too: What messages did I receive from my parents, teachers, religion, and culture? How does my actual experience differ from what I was taught? Where do I still follow old programming, rather than listening to the wisdom of my heart and soul?\r\n\r\nSaturn is in its last degree of Sagittarius and is therefore exalted at the time of the New Moon; it will move into Capricorn until 2020, a little less than two days after this New Moon becomes exact!\r\n\r\nThis heightens the universal request for us to take responsibility for our own perceptions and attitudes towards life -- to take a good look at our horizons and think again -- but this time, with maturity and realism. It directs us to discard outdated beliefs and determine our own indicators for progress, truth, and fulfillment.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What do I see from where I stand? What is my understanding about life? How has my perception of myself and my life changed in the last three years?\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how Saturn\'s journey in Capricorn will impact you personally in the next three years, feel free <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/saturn-in-capricorn-until-2020/\">to purchase my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, click here</a> or for a quick preview <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/saturn/5067/\">check out this 30-minute excerpt</a> of the webinar\r\n\r\nThe Sun and Moon in Sagittarius also trine Uranus in Aries and square Chiron in Pisces.\r\n\r\nThe Trine to Uranus connects excitement to our vision for the future and our willingness to try something new and break away from \"old\" outdated ways of doing things. You could ask yourself: What if I took 5% more responsibility for my own reality? It ways could this be the key to creating a better future?\r\n\r\nThe Square to Chiron, aka the \"Wounded Healer\", is asking us to take a closer look at any old wounds and memories of shame or separation. If we get triggered, we can look to see where in the past the trigger originated; then, as best as we can, bring compassion and understanding to that wounded, shamed, or abandoned part of ourselves.\r\n\r\nAs humans, we experience pain, shame, and separation, but can heal through the unconditional love and self-acceptance of the spirit-human alliance. Ask yourself: What might be possible if I was willing to just \"be with\" my insecurities and past wounding, without needing to fix them? What if my attempts to fix them was what was actually keeping me from seeing the divine perfection of it all?\r\n\r\nRather than looking to be saved, we are learning to ultimately embody our own divinity — to realize that we are all divine beings, and to live accordingly, knowing that everyone and everything is connected.\r\n\r\nFor those of you who want to have a better understanding of your personal healing journey, feel free to get the recording of my Chiron-workshop: \"Healing with Astrology\", available for FREE when joining my online community: <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\">Click here for more info</a>\r\n\r\nAs the ruler of Sagittarius, Jupiter features strongly in this New Moon chart; the planet is currently in Scorpio, making a trine to Neptune in Pisces and squaring the Moon Nodes.\r\n\r\nJupiter\'s Trine to Neptune supports the opening of our heart and mind to spiritual realities beyond the borders of our previous understandings. Neptune represents unconditional love -- this is not based on personality or preference, but on the remembrance that we are all one with the Cosmos, eternally exploring and evolving.\r\n\r\nNeptune in Pisces asks us to have faith in the infinite support we receive every day from the universe — whether our mind understands it or not (what we understand with the mind is very different from what we comprehend with the heart).\r\n\r\nSeeing through the illusion of separation from the divine is perhaps the greatest perspective shift of all. What might be possible if we allowed ourselves to glance past our filters and glimpse the truth of who we are?\r\n\r\nJupiter in Scorpio also squares the Moon Nodes in Leo/Aquarius, asking us to share our deepest secrets, in order to help transform past traumas. We are being asked to take a 90-degree turn, to gain a new perspective, to explore different avenues, leading to different outcomes, especially in regards to our intimate relationships, our ability to connect on a deep emotional level, and in regards to sharing our resources with others.\r\n\r\nWe are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we want to focus on having more fun, joy and self-expression in our lives; on the other, we are asked to expand and learn about our inner experiences, our deeper issues — and to find a new perspective for who we are deep down, then communicate and share this, so we can shine consciousness and light on it.\r\n\r\nIn order to get to a place of greater joy on an individual level, one where we truly feel grateful for our lives, we need to first transform our perspective on old traumas and other deep issues from our past.\r\n\r\nIf this New Moon had a core message, it would be: Honor old patterns and struggles while releasing your attachments to them. As best as you can, provide yourself with compassion and understanding -- embrace your humanity in all its extraordinary capabilities and in its healing capacity. Ask yourself: Why am I here? Where am I going? What beliefs call out for reassessment? What do I believe -- and what do I simply “know”? Where do I need to take a leap of faith... or simply trust?\r\n\r\nBe open to shifting your perceptions. Where have I made assumptions? Which one of my \"filters\" could I do without for a while, just as an exercise in freedom?\r\n\r\nKeep looking at what needs to heal and keep taking responsibility for the \"deeper\" issues in your life. Where am I being challenged to \"be with what is\"? What does \"spiritual maturity\" mean to me?  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/new-moon-in-sagittarius-dec-2017-perception-and-perspective/\">Again, feel free to watch my New Moon video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 24-29 degrees of Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, Pisces? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</em>\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle. Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely not during a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the best time to set intentions would be any time between 1:30am until 8:10am EST Monday morning (Dec. 18th); and then again from 8:33am EST on Monday (Dec. 18th) until 1:30am EST Wednesday very early morning (Dec. 20th).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 8:10am EST,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for 23 minutes, until 8:33am EST. Use this intuitive time to focus on long-term projects that involve a truthful perspective or an adventure into the truth. As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 8:33am EST,</strong> the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Wednesday evening. We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it\'s still transiting through Sagittarius until Tuesday late evening, making this a great time to take a long, last look at our belief structures, explore limiting beliefs and bust through conditioned thought structures. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at the \"meaning of life\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, be authentic about your beliefs: Do they actually match your direct experience of life -- as it is for you now, rather than 5 or 10 years ago? What is true as of now? What is not?\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (Dec. 19th):</strong> the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn all day (see Monday morning for details). If you haven\'t set your New Moon Intentions yet, <strong>today (Tuesday all day)</strong> is still time to do so during the most potent time... If you\'d like some input on how to do that, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">check out this article</a> -- you could also <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/new-moon-in-sagittarius-dec-2017-perception-and-perspective/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(re-)watch my New Moon video</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 11:49pm EST,</strong> Saturn changes signs from adventurous, truth-seeking and enthusiastic Sagittarius to practical, accomplishment-oriented and responsible Capricorn, where it will journey until Dec., 2020 (except for the period between March and July of 2020, when it will temporarily move into Aquarius, giving us preview of what\'s to come beyond Capricorn).\r\n\r\nSaturn feels quite comfortable in Capricorn, as that planet \"rules\" this earth sign; you might say that Capricorn and Saturn have a lot in common and understand each other. Here are some key characteristics that apply to both:\r\n\r\nBuilding long-lasting structures, diligence, effort, persistence in the face of no immediate rewards (i.e. deferred gratification), resilience, achievement, ambition, being goal-oriented, planning ahead, self-discipline, a mature, realistic approach, patience, hard work, integrity, manifestation through consistent application, setting heathy boundaries, focusing on what\'s within our control, taking our time, slowing down, karma (you reap what you sow), working towards becoming an authority of some kind... You get the idea :-)\r\n\r\nSo, between now and Dec. 2020, we are invited to look for practical applications for our ambitions. We may well be firming up our long-term goals -- this transit is a time to focus on building a secure foundation in our professional lives.\r\n\r\nSaturn in Capricorn also reminds us that in order to build or bring forth our visions, we need to look at the practical implications -- we need to slow down and take our time, if we are to manifest something that can withstand the test of time -- something that is of value to society, not just to a few.\r\n\r\nHowever, before we can know exactly what path to take, we must know where we currently stand -- we have to be realistic about \"where we\'re at\" to know what steps to take.\r\n\r\nIt\'s a time when we are working hard, taking on our fair share of duties and responsibilities, and either reaping some of the rewards of our hard work or facing the consequences of poor choices. We are invited, individually and collectively, to apply our newly refined ethics and life perspectives in a healthy and productive way.\r\n\r\nThink back to the period between Nov. 1988 and Feb. 1991 -- the last time Saturn made this journey: What did you accomplish back then, in regards to long-term goals, or the building of healthy foundations in your life? What area of life got a lot of your attention and focus in those days? Where did you have to apply yourself and have patience?\r\n\r\nBy the way, if you were born during that time period, you will experience your first \"Saturn Return\" within the next three years... (and if you were born between January, 1959 and January, 1962, you\'re coming up on your second Saturn Return).\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how Saturn\'s journey in Capricorn will impact you personally in the next three years, feel free <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/saturn-in-capricorn-until-2020/\">to purchase my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, click here</a> or for a quick preview <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/saturn/5067/\">check out this 30-minute excerpt</a> of the webinar.\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Capricorn or Aquarius? If so, you will most likely feel a greater sense of responsibility, a need to be more realistic, serious and mature.</em>\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Tuesday,</strong> Mercury starts to slow down (station) in 13/14 degrees of Sagittarius, in preparation to come to a halt on Friday (Dec. 22nd) -- ending its 3-week retrograde phase. This station will last until Dec. 27th, and during this time, we will feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments once Mercury is moving direct again (to be more precise, during the shadow phase that follows -- for more details on Mercury Shadow Phases and Retrogrades, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">click here</a>)\r\n\r\nFor the next 8 days, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (if possible): wait until after Jan. 10th, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\nSome of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have Gemini or Virgo as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 13-14 degrees of Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo or Pisces.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (Dec. 20th)</strong>: the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn until 9:29pm EST (see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 10:37am EST,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 10.5 hours, until 9:29pm EST. You may be aware of two seemingly conflicting desires: On the one hand, a need for serious, diligent accomplishment -- and on the other, a desire to break free and rebel against obligations.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take some breaks, and \"let your freak flag fly\" -- just for a moment -- and revel in it! As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday (late morning until late evening) ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday mid-afternoon,</strong> a challenging Venus/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 2:10pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Sunday night on; it will remain strong until this Friday evening. This aspect asks us to stretch past injuries and insecurities in our relationships, self-worth and finances. If we can bring compassion and a different point of view to these issues, we will reach a new understanding of ourselves and our life journey.\r\n\r\nWe have the opportunity to learn from one another; ironically though, social insecurities can be magnified at this time. Whenever Chiron is involved, we are being asked to do some healing work. As best as you can, use this time to learn about your sore spots. Nobody is perfect: we all have our flaws and idiosyncrasies. It\'s ok.\r\n\r\nIf you get triggered by someone, as best as you can, take it as an opportunity to see where this trigger originated -- probably in your childhood. Bring love and compassion to yourself as you are, and as you were. Allow any feelings this may stir up in you. A feeling is just energy that wants to be experienced; it wants to move through us and out.\r\n\r\nThe more we resist our feelings, the more we keep them spinning in place. As best as you can, move from the head to the heart. What might change, if you had 5% more compassion with yourself and others? What if you just decided to have faith in the healing process?\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: 21-28 degrees of Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini or Virgo? If so, you are more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus or Libra (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday evening,</strong> a harmonious Venus/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 6:13pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Sunday night on; it will remain strong until this Friday evening. This aspect helps us to embrace all that is new and unusual in romance and finance. We are ready to experiment -- but not to commit. We have an offbeat, pleasant attitude and people are more willing to socialize.\r\n\r\nThis is an especially good time for financial undertakings involving any of the following: technology and the internet; metaphysics; the arts; group activities. We lose our fear of taking risks at this time, this could be a good couple of days for the stock market indexes…or at the very least, an unpredictable one :-)\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 21-28 degrees of Sagittarius, Aries or Leo? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Aquarius (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Uranus rules Aquarius)</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 9:29pm EST,</strong> the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius, where it will journey until Saturday late morning. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (Dec. 21st):</strong> the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius all day (see Wednesday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 11:28am EST,</strong> the Sun changes signs from optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius to practical, accomplishment-oriented, status-oriented Capricorn. This also marks the shortest day of the year (in the northern hemisphere) and the beginning of Winter -- aka the Winter Solstice.\r\n\r\nThe Solstices are important turning points that take place twice a year: They are energetic gateways for the summer or winter season to come through. Solstice Points are thus extra-potent times to set intentions and take part in ceremonies.\r\n\r\nThe Sun will journey through the sign of Capricorn until January 19th. Capricorn is a feet-on-the-ground, eyes-on-the-prize sign. As the Sun travels through it, we take a realistic, grounded approach to life; we know how to do things, and how to get things done.\r\n\r\nWe have a stronger sense of society and its structure, and feel most secure when doing our part within that structure; as such, worldly recognition may take on more importance for us. Making plans for the future can be very effective right now. We are more risk-averse at this time but we are ready to work hard and focus on what is essential.\r\n\r\n<em>All this is especially true if you are a Leo or Capricorn Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Capricorn, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo, you are more cautious and practical than usual…working towards a realistic long-term goal might be just the thing for you to do.</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday late afternoon,</strong> a Sun/Saturn alignment in 0 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 4:08pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from Monday on; it will remain strong until this Sunday. This alignment brings a more serious tone to our commitments with our long-term goals -- it\'s a time when we are called upon to \"get real\".\r\n\r\nThis is especially true for long-term projects that require diligence and self-discipline, but also applies to anything that requires consistency and a mature approach. We are motivated by the desire to manifest tangible results. We are able to focus and work hard right now, especially if we have a goal in mind, welcoming a sense of discipline, structure or order.\r\n\r\nRecommended at this time: making new commitments to old goals, taking care of our responsibilities, making careful use of anything that\'s within our control\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career point (or any personal planets) in the following: 27-29 degrees of Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, Pisces or 0-3 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries or Libra? If so, you may feel the effects of this alignment more strongly.</em>\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Thursday, </b><i>Uranus begins to slow down</i> -- it will come to a complete halt on Jan. 2nd, prior to starting its direct motion again after its 5-month retrograde phase. We will feel this <i>station</i> <b>until Jan. 14th; </b>until then, anything connected to Uranus\'s energy will come into our awareness quite strongly; we are faced with this planet’s message.\r\n\r\nUranus is all about breaking away from traditional structures, moving towards a new future, a future that serves others as well as ourselves. Keyword: Freedom. We might have flashes of insight or new ideas about what needs to change in our lives. Definitely expect the unexpected.\r\n\r\nUranus also rules electronics, technology and the internet, so don\'t be surprised if you experience some interruptions or short-term failures in these areas. Group activities are also ruled by Uranus, so these will also be more at the forefront of our awareness. As best as you can, stay open and flexible, go with the flow -- and pay attention to those messages from the Universe ;-)\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take a closer look at whatever is \"in your face\" <b>for the next 3.5 weeks.</b> Our intuitions will be very strong during this time and we have access to sudden insights and ideas. This gives us the opportunity to take a look to see how free we actually feel.\r\n\r\nAre we expressing our individuality to the fullest? Are we connecting to a larger vision? Is anything holding us back? What did you discover about visions and freedoms these past 5 months?\r\n\r\n<i>Is your Sun-sign or Ascendant in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>? Or do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 22-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this station.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (Dec. 22nd)</strong>: the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius all day (see Wednesday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 8:51pm EST,</strong> Mercury comes to a halt in 13 degrees of Sagittarius, and slowly starts its direct motion, after its 3-week retrograde phase. As best as you can, go with the flow, keep an open mind and pay attention to anything that is in your face right now -- you may need to address those issues again, when Mercury moves through its shadow phase…more on that later.\r\n\r\nWe are slowly ready to shift our focus back towards the outer world again, taking in new information and sharing from a new perspective. What did you learn about your inner dialog over the past 3 weeks? How might you share your findings in a healthy way with others? What needs to be addressed around your beliefs, perspectives, and attitudes towards life and other people?\r\n\r\nWhen Mercury gets back to its regular speed (by Dec. 27th), communication and transportation will get back to normal; the same is true of any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc.\r\n\r\nSome of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with Gemini or Virgo as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets (or angles) in 11-15 degrees of  Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, or Pisces.\r\n\r\nAs you may recall, I mentioned Mercury shadow phases in this update a few weeks back: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it\'s best to avoid the periods shortly before and after Mercury goes retrograde. This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) This particular shadow phase ends on Jan. 10th. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">Click here to read my blog on the subject</a>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (Dec. 23rd):</strong> the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius until 9:42am EST (see Wednesday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 5:13am EST,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 4.5 hours, until 9:42am EST. This is an intuitive time that presents an opportunity to connect to innovative ideas and unique world-views -- so if you can, connect with like-minded people and explore something new.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday morning ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 9:42am EST,</strong> the Moon moves into creative, sensitive Pisces, where it will journey until Monday evening. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (Dec. 24th):</strong> the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces all day (see Saturday late morning for details).\r\n\r\nSunday at 9:48pm EST, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 21.5 hours, until 7:27pm EST (Monday evening). Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect to your higher Self, and if possible, bring a sense of flow and faith to your long-term plans -- especially those you feel really passionate about.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday night and Monday Day ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (Dec. 25th):</strong> the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">VoC</a> until 7:27pm EST (see Saturday late morning for details). At 12:26am EST, Venus moves from Sagittarius into Capricorn where it will journey until January 18th 2018. In early afternoon, a Venus/Saturn alignment in 0.5 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 12:55pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Friday on; it will remain strong until this Thursday. At 7:27pm EST, the Moon moves into Aries, where it will journey until Thursday very early morning. More about all the details in next week’s forecast ;-)\r\n<h3>One Last Announcement:</h3>\r\nJoin me for my next FORECASTING FORUM, Wednesday, <strong>Jan. 3rd, 2018 at</strong> 1pm PST/ <strong>4pm EST</strong>/9pm GMT (London-time).

I\'m happy to say that I got lots of amazing support with all of this -- thank you, to all the angels in my life :-)\r\n<h3>Before we get to this week\'s forecast:</h3>\r\nI would like to share with you some important announcements for 2018. The first announcement is about my new Astrology Online Community that I am in the process of creating, the second announcement it about the Forecasting Forum in January 2018: a look ahead at the whole Year! <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAUG4EKXSzc&amp;feature=youtu.be\">Click here to watch a brief video for more details</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>This week\'s headline items:</strong> the New Moon in Sagittarius becomes exact on Monday, very early in the morning -- and the Chiron Station ends that day as well. Mercury begins its station-phase on Tuesday, and comes to a halt on Friday evening -- ending its 3-week retrograde phase. Saturn changes signs from Sagittarius to Capricorn, Tuesday late evening and Uranus begins its station-phase on Wednesday -- slowing down and preparing to change direction. The Sun changes signs from Sagittarius to Capricorn on Thursday, late in the morning, marking the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere.\r\n\r\n<strong>There will only be four <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week:</strong> Monday morning (for 23 minutes), Wednesday late morning (for a little over 10.5 hours), Saturday early morning (for almost 4.5 hours), and Sunday late evening (for a little over 21.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (December 18th):</strong> the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius until 8:33am EST.\r\n\r\nSunday night/Monday very early morning, at 1:30am EST, the New Moon in 26.5 degrees of Sagittarius becomes exact. With the New Moon in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius, we seek to expand our day-to-day knowledge and look for the larger truth. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/new-moon-in-sagittarius-dec-2017-perception-and-perspective/\">Also feel free to watch my New Moon video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What might I see if I zoomed out for the wider view? Does my life as it is now reflect my philosophy -- and vice versa?\r\n\r\nThe New Moon closely aligns with Saturn and Venus in Sagittarius, and Mercury is still retrograde in Sagittarius as well. This spurs us to question our assumptions. Ask yourself: What fundamental assumptions do I make about others? About life itself? Love? My relationships? What does my direct experience show me?\r\n\r\nTake a look at your conditioning and programming too: What messages did I receive from my parents, teachers, religion, and culture? How does my actual experience differ from what I was taught? Where do I still follow old programming, rather than listening to the wisdom of my heart and soul?\r\n\r\nSaturn is in its last degree of Sagittarius and is therefore exalted at the time of the New Moon; it will move into Capricorn until 2020, a little less than two days after this New Moon becomes exact!\r\n\r\nThis heightens the universal request for us to take responsibility for our own perceptions and attitudes towards life -- to take a good look at our horizons and think again -- but this time, with maturity and realism. It directs us to discard outdated beliefs and determine our own indicators for progress, truth, and fulfillment.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What do I see from where I stand? What is my understanding about life? How has my perception of myself and my life changed in the last three years?\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how Saturn\'s journey in Capricorn will impact you personally in the next three years, feel free <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/saturn-in-capricorn-until-2020/\">to purchase my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, click here</a> or for a quick preview <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/saturn/5067/\">check out this 30-minute excerpt</a> of the webinar\r\n\r\nThe Sun and Moon in Sagittarius also trine Uranus in Aries and square Chiron in Pisces.\r\n\r\nThe Trine to Uranus connects excitement to our vision for the future and our willingness to try something new and break away from \"old\" outdated ways of doing things. You could ask yourself: What if I took 5% more responsibility for my own reality? It ways could this be the key to creating a better future?\r\n\r\nThe Square to Chiron, aka the \"Wounded Healer\", is asking us to take a closer look at any old wounds and memories of shame or separation. If we get triggered, we can look to see where in the past the trigger originated; then, as best as we can, bring compassion and understanding to that wounded, shamed, or abandoned part of ourselves.\r\n\r\nAs humans, we experience pain, shame, and separation, but can heal through the unconditional love and self-acceptance of the spirit-human alliance. Ask yourself: What might be possible if I was willing to just \"be with\" my insecurities and past wounding, without needing to fix them? What if my attempts to fix them was what was actually keeping me from seeing the divine perfection of it all?\r\n\r\nRather than looking to be saved, we are learning to ultimately embody our own divinity — to realize that we are all divine beings, and to live accordingly, knowing that everyone and everything is connected.\r\n\r\nFor those of you who want to have a better understanding of your personal healing journey, feel free to get the recording of my Chiron-workshop: \"Healing with Astrology\", available for FREE when joining my online community: <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\">Click here for more info</a>\r\n\r\nAs the ruler of Sagittarius, Jupiter features strongly in this New Moon chart; the planet is currently in Scorpio, making a trine to Neptune in Pisces and squaring the Moon Nodes.\r\n\r\nJupiter\'s Trine to Neptune supports the opening of our heart and mind to spiritual realities beyond the borders of our previous understandings. Neptune represents unconditional love -- this is not based on personality or preference, but on the remembrance that we are all one with the Cosmos, eternally exploring and evolving.\r\n\r\nNeptune in Pisces asks us to have faith in the infinite support we receive every day from the universe — whether our mind understands it or not (what we understand with the mind is very different from what we comprehend with the heart).\r\n\r\nSeeing through the illusion of separation from the divine is perhaps the greatest perspective shift of all. What might be possible if we allowed ourselves to glance past our filters and glimpse the truth of who we are?\r\n\r\nJupiter in Scorpio also squares the Moon Nodes in Leo/Aquarius, asking us to share our deepest secrets, in order to help transform past traumas. We are being asked to take a 90-degree turn, to gain a new perspective, to explore different avenues, leading to different outcomes, especially in regards to our intimate relationships, our ability to connect on a deep emotional level, and in regards to sharing our resources with others.\r\n\r\nWe are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we want to focus on having more fun, joy and self-expression in our lives; on the other, we are asked to expand and learn about our inner experiences, our deeper issues — and to find a new perspective for who we are deep down, then communicate and share this, so we can shine consciousness and light on it.\r\n\r\nIn order to get to a place of greater joy on an individual level, one where we truly feel grateful for our lives, we need to first transform our perspective on old traumas and other deep issues from our past.\r\n\r\nIf this New Moon had a core message, it would be: Honor old patterns and struggles while releasing your attachments to them. As best as you can, provide yourself with compassion and understanding -- embrace your humanity in all its extraordinary capabilities and in its healing capacity. Ask yourself: Why am I here? Where am I going? What beliefs call out for reassessment? What do I believe -- and what do I simply “know”? Where do I need to take a leap of faith... or simply trust?\r\n\r\nBe open to shifting your perceptions. Where have I made assumptions? Which one of my \"filters\" could I do without for a while, just as an exercise in freedom?\r\n\r\nKeep looking at what needs to heal and keep taking responsibility for the \"deeper\" issues in your life. Where am I being challenged to \"be with what is\"? What does \"spiritual maturity\" mean to me?  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/new-moon-in-sagittarius-dec-2017-perception-and-perspective/\">Again, feel free to watch my New Moon video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 24-29 degrees of Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, Pisces? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Cancer (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</em>\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle. Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely not during a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the best time to set intentions would be any time between 1:30am until 8:10am EST Monday morning (Dec. 18th); and then again from 8:33am EST on Monday (Dec. 18th) until 1:30am EST Wednesday very early morning (Dec. 20th).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 8:10am EST,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for 23 minutes, until 8:33am EST. Use this intuitive time to focus on long-term projects that involve a truthful perspective or an adventure into the truth. As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 8:33am EST,</strong> the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn, where it will journey until Wednesday evening. We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it\'s still transiting through Sagittarius until Tuesday late evening, making this a great time to take a long, last look at our belief structures, explore limiting beliefs and bust through conditioned thought structures. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at the \"meaning of life\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, be authentic about your beliefs: Do they actually match your direct experience of life -- as it is for you now, rather than 5 or 10 years ago? What is true as of now? What is not?\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (Dec. 19th):</strong> the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn all day (see Monday morning for details). If you haven\'t set your New Moon Intentions yet, <strong>today (Tuesday all day)</strong> is still time to do so during the most potent time... If you\'d like some input on how to do that, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">check out this article</a> -- you could also <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/new-moon-in-sagittarius-dec-2017-perception-and-perspective/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">(re-)watch my New Moon video</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 11:49pm EST,</strong> Saturn changes signs from adventurous, truth-seeking and enthusiastic Sagittarius to practical, accomplishment-oriented and responsible Capricorn, where it will journey until Dec., 2020 (except for the period between March and July of 2020, when it will temporarily move into Aquarius, giving us preview of what\'s to come beyond Capricorn).\r\n\r\nSaturn feels quite comfortable in Capricorn, as that planet \"rules\" this earth sign; you might say that Capricorn and Saturn have a lot in common and understand each other. Here are some key characteristics that apply to both:\r\n\r\nBuilding long-lasting structures, diligence, effort, persistence in the face of no immediate rewards (i.e. deferred gratification), resilience, achievement, ambition, being goal-oriented, planning ahead, self-discipline, a mature, realistic approach, patience, hard work, integrity, manifestation through consistent application, setting heathy boundaries, focusing on what\'s within our control, taking our time, slowing down, karma (you reap what you sow), working towards becoming an authority of some kind... You get the idea :-)\r\n\r\nSo, between now and Dec. 2020, we are invited to look for practical applications for our ambitions. We may well be firming up our long-term goals -- this transit is a time to focus on building a secure foundation in our professional lives.\r\n\r\nSaturn in Capricorn also reminds us that in order to build or bring forth our visions, we need to look at the practical implications -- we need to slow down and take our time, if we are to manifest something that can withstand the test of time -- something that is of value to society, not just to a few.\r\n\r\nHowever, before we can know exactly what path to take, we must know where we currently stand -- we have to be realistic about \"where we\'re at\" to know what steps to take.\r\n\r\nIt\'s a time when we are working hard, taking on our fair share of duties and responsibilities, and either reaping some of the rewards of our hard work or facing the consequences of poor choices. We are invited, individually and collectively, to apply our newly refined ethics and life perspectives in a healthy and productive way.\r\n\r\nThink back to the period between Nov. 1988 and Feb. 1991 -- the last time Saturn made this journey: What did you accomplish back then, in regards to long-term goals, or the building of healthy foundations in your life? What area of life got a lot of your attention and focus in those days? Where did you have to apply yourself and have patience?\r\n\r\nBy the way, if you were born during that time period, you will experience your first \"Saturn Return\" within the next three years... (and if you were born between January, 1959 and January, 1962, you\'re coming up on your second Saturn Return).\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how Saturn\'s journey in Capricorn will impact you personally in the next three years, feel free <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/saturn-in-capricorn-until-2020/\">to purchase my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, click here</a> or for a quick preview <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/saturn/5067/\">check out this 30-minute excerpt</a> of the webinar.\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in Capricorn or Aquarius? If so, you will most likely feel a greater sense of responsibility, a need to be more realistic, serious and mature.</em>\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Tuesday,</strong> Mercury starts to slow down (station) in 13/14 degrees of Sagittarius, in preparation to come to a halt on Friday (Dec. 22nd) -- ending its 3-week retrograde phase. This station will last until Dec. 27th, and during this time, we will feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments once Mercury is moving direct again (to be more precise, during the shadow phase that follows -- for more details on Mercury Shadow Phases and Retrogrades, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">click here</a>)\r\n\r\nFor the next 8 days, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (if possible): wait until after Jan. 10th, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\nSome of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have Gemini or Virgo as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 13-14 degrees of Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo or Pisces.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (Dec. 20th)</strong>: the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented Capricorn until 9:29pm EST (see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 10:37am EST,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 10.5 hours, until 9:29pm EST. You may be aware of two seemingly conflicting desires: On the one hand, a need for serious, diligent accomplishment -- and on the other, a desire to break free and rebel against obligations.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take some breaks, and \"let your freak flag fly\" -- just for a moment -- and revel in it! As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday (late morning until late evening) ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday mid-afternoon,</strong> a challenging Venus/Chiron aspect becomes exact at 2:10pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Sunday night on; it will remain strong until this Friday evening. This aspect asks us to stretch past injuries and insecurities in our relationships, self-worth and finances. If we can bring compassion and a different point of view to these issues, we will reach a new understanding of ourselves and our life journey.\r\n\r\nWe have the opportunity to learn from one another; ironically though, social insecurities can be magnified at this time. Whenever Chiron is involved, we are being asked to do some healing work. As best as you can, use this time to learn about your sore spots. Nobody is perfect: we all have our flaws and idiosyncrasies. It\'s ok.\r\n\r\nIf you get triggered by someone, as best as you can, take it as an opportunity to see where this trigger originated -- probably in your childhood. Bring love and compassion to yourself as you are, and as you were. Allow any feelings this may stir up in you. A feeling is just energy that wants to be experienced; it wants to move through us and out.\r\n\r\nThe more we resist our feelings, the more we keep them spinning in place. As best as you can, move from the head to the heart. What might change, if you had 5% more compassion with yourself and others? What if you just decided to have faith in the healing process?\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: 21-28 degrees of Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini or Virgo? If so, you are more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus or Libra (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday evening,</strong> a harmonious Venus/Uranus aspect becomes exact at 6:13pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Sunday night on; it will remain strong until this Friday evening. This aspect helps us to embrace all that is new and unusual in romance and finance. We are ready to experiment -- but not to commit. We have an offbeat, pleasant attitude and people are more willing to socialize.\r\n\r\nThis is an especially good time for financial undertakings involving any of the following: technology and the internet; metaphysics; the arts; group activities. We lose our fear of taking risks at this time, this could be a good couple of days for the stock market indexes…or at the very least, an unpredictable one :-)\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 21-28 degrees of Sagittarius, Aries or Leo? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Taurus, Libra or Aquarius (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Uranus rules Aquarius)</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 9:29pm EST,</strong> the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius, where it will journey until Saturday late morning. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (Dec. 21st):</strong> the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius all day (see Wednesday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 11:28am EST,</strong> the Sun changes signs from optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking Sagittarius to practical, accomplishment-oriented, status-oriented Capricorn. This also marks the shortest day of the year (in the northern hemisphere) and the beginning of Winter -- aka the Winter Solstice.\r\n\r\nThe Solstices are important turning points that take place twice a year: They are energetic gateways for the summer or winter season to come through. Solstice Points are thus extra-potent times to set intentions and take part in ceremonies.\r\n\r\nThe Sun will journey through the sign of Capricorn until January 19th. Capricorn is a feet-on-the-ground, eyes-on-the-prize sign. As the Sun travels through it, we take a realistic, grounded approach to life; we know how to do things, and how to get things done.\r\n\r\nWe have a stronger sense of society and its structure, and feel most secure when doing our part within that structure; as such, worldly recognition may take on more importance for us. Making plans for the future can be very effective right now. We are more risk-averse at this time but we are ready to work hard and focus on what is essential.\r\n\r\n<em>All this is especially true if you are a Leo or Capricorn Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Capricorn, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo, you are more cautious and practical than usual…working towards a realistic long-term goal might be just the thing for you to do.</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday late afternoon,</strong> a Sun/Saturn alignment in 0 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 4:08pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from Monday on; it will remain strong until this Sunday. This alignment brings a more serious tone to our commitments with our long-term goals -- it\'s a time when we are called upon to \"get real\".\r\n\r\nThis is especially true for long-term projects that require diligence and self-discipline, but also applies to anything that requires consistency and a mature approach. We are motivated by the desire to manifest tangible results. We are able to focus and work hard right now, especially if we have a goal in mind, welcoming a sense of discipline, structure or order.\r\n\r\nRecommended at this time: making new commitments to old goals, taking care of our responsibilities, making careful use of anything that\'s within our control\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career point (or any personal planets) in the following: 27-29 degrees of Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, Pisces or 0-3 degrees of Capricorn, Cancer, Aries or Libra? If so, you may feel the effects of this alignment more strongly.</em>\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Thursday, </b><i>Uranus begins to slow down</i> -- it will come to a complete halt on Jan. 2nd, prior to starting its direct motion again after its 5-month retrograde phase. We will feel this <i>station</i> <b>until Jan. 14th; </b>until then, anything connected to Uranus\'s energy will come into our awareness quite strongly; we are faced with this planet’s message.\r\n\r\nUranus is all about breaking away from traditional structures, moving towards a new future, a future that serves others as well as ourselves. Keyword: Freedom. We might have flashes of insight or new ideas about what needs to change in our lives. Definitely expect the unexpected.\r\n\r\nUranus also rules electronics, technology and the internet, so don\'t be surprised if you experience some interruptions or short-term failures in these areas. Group activities are also ruled by Uranus, so these will also be more at the forefront of our awareness. As best as you can, stay open and flexible, go with the flow -- and pay attention to those messages from the Universe ;-)\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take a closer look at whatever is \"in your face\" <b>for the next 3.5 weeks.</b> Our intuitions will be very strong during this time and we have access to sudden insights and ideas. This gives us the opportunity to take a look to see how free we actually feel.\r\n\r\nAre we expressing our individuality to the fullest? Are we connecting to a larger vision? Is anything holding us back? What did you discover about visions and freedoms these past 5 months?\r\n\r\n<i>Is your Sun-sign or Ascendant in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>? Or do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 22-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this station.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (Dec. 22nd)</strong>: the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius all day (see Wednesday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 8:51pm EST,</strong> Mercury comes to a halt in 13 degrees of Sagittarius, and slowly starts its direct motion, after its 3-week retrograde phase. As best as you can, go with the flow, keep an open mind and pay attention to anything that is in your face right now -- you may need to address those issues again, when Mercury moves through its shadow phase…more on that later.\r\n\r\nWe are slowly ready to shift our focus back towards the outer world again, taking in new information and sharing from a new perspective. What did you learn about your inner dialog over the past 3 weeks? How might you share your findings in a healthy way with others? What needs to be addressed around your beliefs, perspectives, and attitudes towards life and other people?\r\n\r\nWhen Mercury gets back to its regular speed (by Dec. 27th), communication and transportation will get back to normal; the same is true of any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc.\r\n\r\nSome of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with Gemini or Virgo as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets (or angles) in 11-15 degrees of  Sagittarius, Gemini, Virgo, or Pisces.\r\n\r\nAs you may recall, I mentioned Mercury shadow phases in this update a few weeks back: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it\'s best to avoid the periods shortly before and after Mercury goes retrograde. This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) This particular shadow phase ends on Jan. 10th. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">Click here to read my blog on the subject</a>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (Dec. 23rd):</strong> the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking Aquarius until 9:42am EST (see Wednesday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 5:13am EST,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 4.5 hours, until 9:42am EST. This is an intuitive time that presents an opportunity to connect to innovative ideas and unique world-views -- so if you can, connect with like-minded people and explore something new.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday morning ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 9:42am EST,</strong> the Moon moves into creative, sensitive Pisces, where it will journey until Monday evening. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (Dec. 24th):</strong> the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces all day (see Saturday late morning for details).\r\n\r\nSunday at 9:48pm EST, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 21.5 hours, until 7:27pm EST (Monday evening). Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect to your higher Self, and if possible, bring a sense of flow and faith to your long-term plans -- especially those you feel really passionate about.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday night and Monday Day ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (Dec. 25th):</strong> the Moon remains in creative, sensitive Pisces and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">VoC</a> until 7:27pm EST (see Saturday late morning for details). At 12:26am EST, Venus moves from Sagittarius into Capricorn where it will journey until January 18th 2018. In early afternoon, a Venus/Saturn alignment in 0.5 degrees of Capricorn becomes exact at 12:55pm EST. We started to feel this aspect from last Friday on; it will remain strong until this Thursday. At 7:27pm EST, the Moon moves into Aries, where it will journey until Thursday very early morning.

We will look at what\'s coming up in 2018 in more detail during the <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">Monthly Forecasting Forum on Jan. 3rd.</a> Feel free to join us -- <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">you can register here</a>\r\n\r\n<b>If you would like to join live</b>, please keep in mind that <b>registration will close an hour before the live event begins</b>, if you register after 3pm EST on Wednesday you will receive the mp4-video presentation of the webinar.<b> Please note </b>that<b> </b>we will be talking about <b>what\'s coming up in 2018 -- a look a head at the whole year!</b>\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: the Full Moon in Cancer becomes exact on Monday evening, Uranus comes to halt (ending its 5-month retrograde phase) on Tuesday late morning; Mars aligns with Jupiter in Scorpio on Saturday evening.\r\n\r\nThere will also be four <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Monday very early morning until 3:10am EST, Tuesday early evening (for a little over 8.5 hours), Thursday early evening (for 9 hours), and Saturday late evening (for almost 9.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<b>Monday (January 1st): </b><i>the</i> <i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">VoC</a><b> until 3:10am EST</b>. <b>At that time, </b><i>the Moon moves into protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <b>until Tuesday late evening</b>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, otherwise you might start to feel drained and resentful.<i> </i>This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the Full Moon (exact later that evening). <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_N03uZ8Iq7s\">Click here to watch my Full Moon video</a>\r\n\r\n<b>Monday evening, at 9:24pm EST,</b><b> </b><i>the Moon opposes the Sun (in 11.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Cancer/Capricorn</i></b><i>). </i>As mentioned above, the entrance of the Moon into<i> </i><b>Cancer </b>(Monday, very early in the morning) began the energetic build up towards this <i>Full Moon</i>.\r\n\r\nThis will be another \"Super\" Full Moon! The Moon is at its closest point to the Earth and therefore the gravitational pull is stronger; we experience this on the physical, emotional and psychic levels.\r\n\r\nRelationships of all kinds are highlighted during this time — but with this Full Moon, there is a particularly strong emphasis on family- and business-relationships.\r\n\r\nWith the Sun in <b>Capricorn </b>for the past 1.5 weeks, we are looking for balance, and are more aware than ever that something needs to be brought back into alignment. The balance we seek is between the <b>Capricorn</b>-<b>Cancer</b> polarity.\r\n\r\n<b>Capricorn</b> teaches us to honor all aspects of the physical world; it also urges us to create and build something of long-term use to everyone. <b>Cancer,</b> on the other hand,<b> </b>represents the formation of the emotional body and an understanding of our feelings and needs; this helps us navigate life by building an awareness of what is healthy or harmful to us.\r\n\r\nIn order to emerge as healthy beings, we need to be able to nurture ourselves and others, in part by taking care of our feelings and our \"inner baby\" (Cancer) — yet we also need to be able to evolve into responsible adults, able to provide for ourselves and others (Capricorn).\r\n\r\n<b>Capricorn</b> asks us to step into our power and mature to the point where we no longer need to look outside of ourselves for approval or validation -- to become the master of our own lives.\r\n\r\nQuestions you can ask yourself: Am I more connected to what nurtures me -- or to my \"shoulds\"? Does my current environment support my inner growth? Does it provide me with nourishing bonds to others?\r\n\r\nYou could say that <b>Cancer</b> is about healthy roots, while <b>Capricorn</b> is about sharing the fruits of our labor -- and both signs represent feminine, receptive energies, that require of us to generate from the inside out.\r\n\r\nAs well as illuminating our path towards greater spiritual alignment, Full Moons illuminate the shadow side of each sign -- for the next two weeks, ask yourself these questions: Am I taking too little or too much responsibility in a particular area of my life? When do I have a tendency to blame, shame or feel guilty? Where do I tend to get defensive? Where do I need to set better boundaries?\r\n\r\nIn order to develop a healthy inner <b>Capricorn</b>, we must learn to listen to our feelings and honor our needs, rather than disregarding them. Only then can we build something of value and move towards mastery.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself (and as best as you can, be really honest with yourself): Where and when do I tend to look for permission outside of myself? In what moments of my life did I abdicate my authority, or project it onto others? How important is status, control or winning to me?\r\n\r\n<b>Cancer</b> seeks to create a sense of home and family, the experience of nourishing bonds, and surroundings that support our growth. Ask yourself: When do I have the tendency to hold on to the past? When do I resist change? What happens when I don\'t allow myself to feel my feelings?\r\n\r\nAs we cultivate our inner life, our soul light builds and radiates out to nurture others; we ultimately discover that our true ‘home’ is actually the light inside our own heart. <a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_N03uZ8Iq7s\">Feel free to also watch Full Moon/SuperMoon video</a>\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon points to <i>several energy patterns</i>:\r\n\r\nThe first one is a <i>Grand Trine in Water</i>, involving the Moon in <b>Cancer</b>, Neptune in <b>Pisces</b>, and Mars/Jupiter in <b>Scorpio</b>. This brings a feminine emphasis towards the flow of compassion, psychic/intuitive sensing, and with it a desire for emotional fulfillment and empowerment within our relationships.\r\n\r\nThis Grand Trine will help us raise our vibrations, if we choose to do so; it will make it easier to embrace shadow issues and redefine them -- we get a chance to bring awareness and acceptance to any places in us that have felt closed off to the public, neglected, ignored.\r\n\r\nSeeking help from trusted support systems or healers during this process is not only recommended, it is also wise if we seek to heal our insecurities and those inner places of disconnect. So… for the next two weeks, ask yourself: What if I listened to myself, nurtured myself, treated myself with the respect, understanding and love I would show my dearest friend? What would I be guided to do? How might others benefit from that?\r\n\r\nThe second of those energy patterns is a<i> </i><i>Stellium in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>: the Sun aligns with Pluto</i><b><i>,</i></b><i> Venus and Saturn</i>. As the third earth sign, Capricorn (at its highest vibration) seeks to create forms that are based on spiritual truths — that all matter is composed of energy, and it is our collective duty to use all energy responsibly.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What am I likely to manifest in my own world, given the energies that are part of my creative process every day?\r\n\r\nWe are being asked to bring conscious awareness to our essence and purpose (Pluto), to our roles, rules, responsibilities and boundaries (Saturn), and finally to our values and how we relate to ourselves and others (Venus).\r\n\r\nThis provides an opportunity to truly align with what brings emotional and material security to our world. As best as you can, focus on dedication, wholeness and truth -- devote yourself to your true passions, to your heart. We are more likely to want to work towards a goal, to achieve things, give form to something in the external world that aligns with those values.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What lies between me and my Authentic Self? Can I actually find any such obstacle if I let go of memories and concepts, and just look here and now?\r\n\r\nIt’s also worth noting: Success and rewards will come in direct proportion to the amount of authentic passion, integrity and maturity we bring to the world. Ask yourself: Where do I need to commit more deeply to what really matters? How authentic am I when it comes to my long-term goals? How passionate? How truthful?\r\n\r\nAnd of course, as always when Cancer and Capricorn are involved: take baby-steps (or if you prefer \"take it one day at a time\" ;-) Ask yourself: Why would I sprint if I can get there at the perfect time by walking? Where does the urge for rushing or \"getting there\" come from? Is it based in fear or love? What if I brought 5% more self-love to every moment while working towards my achievement? Could I do that just by checking in with myself from time to time?\r\n\r\nThe third major energy pattern that this Full Moon points to is the <i>Pluto/Uranus square --</i> which is only 5 degrees apart again, due to Uranus\'s Retrograde motion and station phase at the time of this Full Moon. As mentioned in these forecasts many times since 2011, this square is an invitation for us all to make a giant step forward, both individually and collectively — we are ready for major changes in our own lives and on a global level.\r\n\r\nThis is all about each of us stepping up, stretching ourselves, making a difference, one by one -- we feel a deep inner need to create personal and global change -- we detect shifts in the world at large. Authenticity and individual self-expression are paramount. The meaning of \"Leadership\" is changing: We must all lead now, in our own lives and in the world, for the good of all.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Where could I play a bigger game? Where am I being called to step up?\r\n\r\nThis aspect carries an extra charge, because <i>Uranus stations direct at 24 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> </i><b>on Jan. 2nd, </b>only one day after the Full Moon becomes exact. It’s time to make a real (not merely cosmetic) change in at least one area of our life. Uranus in <b>Aries</b> exhorts us to be bold, think for ourselves, and not be dependent on external approval.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Am I expressing my individuality to the fullest? Am I connecting to a larger vision for my future? Is anything holding me back?\r\n\r\nIf we insist on holding onto a job, relationship, or situation we have outgrown, an unexpected turn of events may force us to go in a new direction. Uranus stationed retrograde on August 3rd at 28.5° of <b>Aries</b>; reflect on the weeks around that date. Ask yourself: What needs to change in my life, small or large? What is asking for a quantum leap?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, be brave enough to step out... This is also a great time to work with your own astrological chart, or seek other ways to elevate your consciousness, create your own reality and experience freedom from within. Ask yourself: Where do I feel the desire to break free? Where have I denied myself permission to be free? Unique? Simply \"myself\"?\r\n\r\nWith this much erratic energy moving through our bodies, we are best off staying in movement and \"shaking it out\". Flexibility, Courage, Self-Empowerment: these are the watchwords! Remember: what you do for you, you do for everyone… and what you do for everyone, you do for you!\r\n\r\n<i>Mars</i>, the archetype of desire and courage, willpower and assertion,<i> is in almost 15 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> and is squaring the Moon Nodes</i>, just as Jupiter did at the last Lunation.\r\n\r\nSquares mark turning points -- and this one is a turning point in our collective, spiritual journey. It\'s asking us to find a balance between feminine and masculine energies — when we look at this, taking Scorpio into account, we can see that we are actually being invited to transform our inner masculine. Ask yourself: What does assertiveness look like when fear is not present? How can we use our masculine energies in a empowering way?\r\n\r\nIn order to get to a place of greater joy on an individual and collective level, one where we truly feel grateful for our lives, we need to first transform our approach towards passion, assertion, and leadership.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What does true leadership mean to me? Where might I locate this energy within me? If I found it, what might I do with it? What small (or large) steps could I take to empower myself and others in my various communities?\r\n\r\nDuring this time of change and transformation, self-care is definitely worth our attention… Make sure you get plenty of rest, affection, water and healthy nutritious foods ;-)\r\n\r\nTo sum it all up: Tap into your inner courage. Honor your feelings and needs, so you can build something of value -- and share the fruits of your labor with the world.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What might the balance lie between nurturing and self-care, versus achieving my goals? Am I doing what I want to do, or what I think I should do? As best as you can, be kind and gentle, compassionate, and accepting of yourself -- this will help balance the Cancer/Capricorn polarities.  <a href=\"http://www.dev2.astrologercoach.com/full-moon/\">Again, feel free to also watch Full Moon/SuperMoon video</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 9-14 degrees of </i><b><i>Cancer, Capricorn, Aries</i></b><i> and </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s Full Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday (Jan. 2nd)</b>: <i>the Moon remains in protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i> </i><b>all day</b> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday early morning, </b><i>an opportune Sun/Neptune aspect </i>becomes exact at 4:37am EST.<b> We started to feel this aspect from last Sunday on; it will remain strong until this Thursday. </b>This aspect is an opportunity both to dissolve what no longer serves us, and to connect to our intuition. We definitely feel inspired. It’s also a great time to bring a sense of flow and faith to long-term plans.\r\n\r\nOur capacity for compassion (both toward ourselves and others) is quite strong, especially if we are able to acknowledge it. Dreams and reality find a way to work together now -- any spiritual or creative endeavors that are started during this time will most likely do very well -- and it feels great to donate time or money to favored causes.\r\n\r\nRemember that this is an \"opportunity\" -- it isn\'t just handed to us, we have to make it happen.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-14 degrees of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday morning</b>, <b>at 9:13am EST,</b> <i>Uranus comes to a halt in 24.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b>, turning direct again after its 5-month retrograde phase. We\'ve had 5 months to reevaluate certain things: goals, group causes, issues around freedom. We\'ve also reflected on our vision for the future, and where the obstacles to that vision might lie.\r\n\r\nWe are now ready to take into the world all that we have learned and make some progress. Uranus will be back to its usual speed by Jan. 14th; at that point you could say its “Change or be changed” -- change is inevitable, so it might as well be change you’ve chosen consciously. Note that Uranus also rules electronics, technology and the internet; these may all be influenced by the planet\'s slower movement.\r\n\r\n<i>Is your Sun sign or Ascendant in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>? Or do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 22-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Libra, Capricorn</i></b><i> or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel more connected to the Uranus station.</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday at 5:46pm EST, </b>we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 8.5 hours, <b>until 2:23am EST (Wednesday very early morning)</b>. Use this intuitive time to make adjustments and (as best as you can) find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. Make space both for going after your vision and for taking care of emotional or family issues.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday evening and night ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday (Jan. 3rd): </b><i>the Moon remains in protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i> </i>and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">VoC</a><i> </i><b>until 2:23am EST</b> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday at 2:23am EST</b>, <i>the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <b>until Friday very early morning</b><b>. </b>We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising.\r\n\r\nWe all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-) So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can.\r\n\r\nFun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday early afternoon, </b><i>an opportune Venus/Neptune aspect </i>becomes exact at 12:38pm EST.<b> We started to feel this aspect from Monday evening on; it will remain strong until Thursday night. </b>This is an opportunity for compassion and kindness in our social and work-related interactions. We are more attuned to the subtleties of human interaction, and are more inclined to naturally cooperate with others.\r\n\r\nWe tend to \"feel\" each other on an energetic level now, a sensitive approach is therefore recommended. This is also an opportunity for imaginative or romantic interactions. Remember: opportunities are openings; they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in </i><i>10-14 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Taurus</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune rules Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday (Jan. 4th): </b><i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving</i><i> </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> </i><b>all day</b> (see Wednesday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday at 6:10pm EST, </b>we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for 9 hours, <b>until 3:12am EST (Friday very early morning)</b>. During this intuitive time, have fun connecting with others and doing things that bring you joy — explore, take a risk. As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday evening and night ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Friday (Jan. 5th):</b> <i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> </i>and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">VoC</a><i> </i><b>until 3:12am EST</b> (see Wednesday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Friday at 3:12am EST</b>, <i>the Moon moves into detail-oriented, practical</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <b>until Sunday morning</b>; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<b> </b>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday (Jan. 6th): </b><i>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> </i><b>all day</b> (see Friday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday evening, </b><i>a harmonious Mercury/Uranus aspect </i>becomes exact at 6:39pm EST.<b> We started to feel this aspect from Wednesday night on; it will remain strong until next week, Monday night (Jan. 8th) </b>This aspect supports a connection between our higher mind and our day-to-day mind. We are able to receive inspiration from higher places and maybe even look into the future. We are able to communicate our vision for a better future; insights arise from these communications.\r\n\r\nOriginal, creative insights and ideas can appear out of nowhere; as best as you can, stay open to these unique \"downloads\" -- they might change how you see and proceed with life ;-) This is a good time to communicate online, engage in computer-related activities or scientific projects, and also for anything metaphysical. Group activities like Meetups are great things to be involved with right now -- especially if they allow us to share our vision for a better future.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 21-28 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Leo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel especially blessed by this connection. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or</i><b><i> Aquarius </i></b><i>(Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso on<b> Saturday evening, </b><i>a Mars/Jupiter alignment in almost 18 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i>becomes exact at 7:39pm EST.<b> We started to feel this aspect from Monday evening on; it will remain strong until next week, Thursday evening (Jan. 11th). </b>Mars\'s energy combines with Jupiter\'s expansiveness to increase our enthusiasm, liveliness, and optimism.\r\n\r\nWe enjoy travel, flying, the outdoors, competitive work, vigorous exercise and other Jupiter-ruled pursuits a lot more right now -- especially when they also happen to fit in with our deeper emotional desires for connection and the healing of old traumas.\r\n\r\nWe are more likely to bring a self-confident \"can-do\" attitude, even a certain relish, to life\'s deeper issues -- and to any resources shared with others in areas where we exhibit a strong will to excel. We don\'t rest on our laurels: we keep going on to even bigger and better things.\r\n\r\nParticularly when it comes to intimate partnerships and shared financial matters, this could prove a very productive and busy time; indeed, given our capacity for skillfully handling a wide variety of tasks at the same time, we risk overextending. Don\'t worry: Just pace yourself and go after your goals in the most practical and precise manner you can muster... Tomorrow is another day ;-)\r\n\r\nThe last Mars/Jupiter conjunction took place on Oct 17th, 2015. What did you begin then? How could that now be deepened? What if that could now go to the next level? How might that come about?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 15-21 degrees of</i><b><i> Scorpio, Taurus, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>?

Do your best to use this intuitive time to make some adjustments in your life and find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations.<b> </b>\r\n\r\nMake space both for looking at your life philosophies, and for organizing your daily routines. As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday late evening and night ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday late evening, </b><i>a challenging Mercury/Chiron aspect </i>becomes exact at 11:06pm EST.<b> We started to feel this aspect from Wednesday night on; it will remain strong until next week, Monday night (Jan. 8th). </b>This combination might bring up some insecurities in our verbal, in-person or email interactions.\r\n\r\nThat said, this could also be an opportunity for healing; we are energized to move past harsh criticism of ourselves or others, towards more loving and compassionate structures for thinking and communicating. As best as you can, stretch yourself -- and be open to bringing love and understanding to it all (and that includes you) :-)\r\n\r\nDue to Mercury\'s Retrograde phase in December, we are experiencing this particular aspect for the <i>third</i> time within the last 6 weeks (the first two times were between Nov. 21st -- 27th and Dec. 7th -- 12th.) As you look back to those time periods, ask yourself: Did any conversations bring up (or even trigger) wounds, hurts, or insecurities from the past? Did I have any insight about myself in regards to those wounds or insecurities? What steps am I ready to take now?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point or any personal planets in 22-28 degrees of Sagittarius, Pisces, Virgo or Gemini?

These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.

Take a breath. Relax. Find your peace. Don\'t require the Universe to move more rapidly than it is. It is actually working perfectly, and it will prove that to you if you will give it a chance. Really. Trust me on this.” — Neale Donald Walsh</span>\r\n<h3>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement:</h3>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are getting closer to the launch of my new online community!</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> Right now we are aiming for Jan.16th or 17th -- keep your fingers crossed for me ;-) I\'m super-excited, and at the same time, I also sometimes stress out about the scope of this amazing new beginning for myself and everyone out there who will join us. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">But as my spiritual coach likes to remind me, \"Life is an ongoing experiment\" and \"True professionalism is about being able to be flexible and kind about unforeseen situations that come up, allowing ourselves to learn from them and finding out how to make creative adjustments.\"</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>This week\'s headline item<span style=\"color: #000000;\">s</span></b>: the New Moon in Capricorn becomes exact on Tuesday; Venus changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius on Wednesday, and the Sun will do the same on Friday. Last but not least, Eclipse season begins on Sunday and runs until Feb. 25th.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">There will also be three <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning (for 2 hours), Friday morning (for a little over 8.5 hours), and Sunday evening (for a little over 5 hours).</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday (January 15th): </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day.</b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> It will journey there <b>until Wednesday very early morning. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery. </span><!--more-->\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, be truthful with yourself about where you are at: Do you actually have a realistic view about what is so, right now, in your life? Not what you wish it to be or what you would like it to be or where you see yourself going.... What is so right now? Once you know where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\", whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday very early morning, </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">becomes exact at 1:59am EST.</span><b> We started to feel this aspect from Friday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday morning. </b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Until Friday, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">23-27 degrees</span> of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday late evening: </b><i>an opportune long-term Jupiter/Pluto aspect </i>that we <b>started to feel back on Tuesday Jan. 3rd becomes exact at 11:13pm EST; it will remain strong until Wednesday, Jan. 31st </b>and brings with it an opportunity to deepen our relationships, business and personal alike. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">A positive attitude and deeper trust in our connections with others gives us the chance to build something meaningful and share our passions with them. We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support professional or personal goals. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: Where could I really dig in to solve a problem? How might passion help deliver on my long-term goals? How could other people\'s resources support my ability to create transformation? How might they help me stand in my power?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><b><i> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">17-21 degrees</span> </i></b><i>of</i><b><i> Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces </i></b><i>or <strong>Virgo</strong></i><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces). </i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday (Jan. 16th): </b><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>t</em><b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">he Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</span></i></b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day </b></span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">(see Monday for details).</span> </span></span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday evening, at 9:17pm ES</b>T<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,</span><em> the Moon aligns with the Sun in almost 27 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong>, </em>launching </span><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">a new Moon cycle.</span> </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is a good time to go within, to seed anything we would like to accomplish for the next 28 days, and maybe even beyond. The next section of this forecast will dig in to this in more detail; you may also want to <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/commitments-integrity/\">watch my New Moon video</a> :-) </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is the first New Moon of the year and since <strong>Capricorn</strong> represents the quest for mastery on the physical plane, some useful questions you can ask yourself include: </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">What is my relationship to the physical? Do I respect the laws of matter? Am I going about things in a realistic way? How committed am I really? Where does my inner compass point? What am I willing to undergo to overcome adversity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The highest vibration of <strong>Capricorn</strong> is the development of responsibility, resourcefulness, reliability, self-mastery, the ability to set realistic goals and healthy boundaries. The next 28 days are a perfect time to work on these areas. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, prepare for the future, make commitments and recognize responsibilities -- in other words, nurture your dreams in a realistic manner. Focus on setting and achieving practical and attainable long-term goals, one step at a time, one day at a time -- this is not about immediate results, it\'s about the quality of the foundation you are building.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> also invites us to set the kind of realistic limits and boundaries that allow everyone involved to learn from the consequences of their choices. Where in my life am I able to set realistic limits and boundaries? Where is that an obstacle in your life? What am I afraid of in those moments? What would be the worst of that?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> relates directly to the level of our maturity: We start out on a more instinctual, survival level; this stage is basically fear-based, with a scarcity mentality. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Once we get better at living on the earth plane -- and we understand the rules better -- we transition to goal-oriented ambition and self-challenge, seeking recognition and rewards. This phase is still sometimes fear-based, but already we are taking more responsibility for our part in achieving things, and we are manifesting on the physical plane. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Eventually, as we grow spiritually and learn more about the laws of matter, earthly ambitions are often replaced by some form of spiritual service. We recognize that personal gain is not the only (or even the highest) goal, we see that when we contribute to others, we are also giving to ourselves -- perhaps we also surpass the physical appearance of separation and connect to life in it\'s highest form.</span> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">At this level, we are living in pure accordance with our conscience, from a place of maturity and inner guidance.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: What if I developed 5% more discipline? Integrity? What about 5% more commitment towards something that aligns both with myself and with life itself? What would 100% responsibility for my life look like? What if I responded to situations in a way that respects and serves all those involved? </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">  </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> <em>This New Moon aligns with Venus and Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong> and squares Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>.</em> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">First let\'s focus on the alignment with Venus and Pluto: This conveys an extra-potent message about our perception of physical reality -- time and space -- and about our relationship to love, our values, power or feeling empowered. Ask yourself: If I truly had choice in the matter, what kind of future would I choose to step into? Who would I choose to connect with? Why? Who would I not choose to connect with? Why not?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Venus in conjunction with the New Moon</em> advises us to choose wisely and from the heart. Ask yourself: Am I true to myself? Am I working too hard without making enough progress? Am I expressing my feelings truthfully? Or hiding my true feelings from others? Am I in touch with what\'s important to me -- especially in regards to relationships? Am I happy? Could I love and respect myself and life 5% more?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">With this many planets in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, it is important for us to take breaks — or simply slow down and allow ourselves to tune in. It’s important to explore ways to stay heart-centered and grounded -- seek tools or people to help you with that exploration. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Now let\'s talk about <em>the square to Uranus</em> -- the energy of freedom, innovation and reform. This combo focuses our attention on the right use of power -- which respects the rights, needs, and gifts of all beings. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: Where do I need to be more courageous? Where do I need to \"think different\"? What if I became 5% more aware of my personal power? Where might I have given it away to others? And how might I begin to reclaim it? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Remember that change is not always progress. Consider all options first and then respond, rather than reacting; stay flexible and be willing to entertain new possibilities. What if -- in small or large ways -- I could help birth a new age, and with it a new world, one based on heart-centered consciousness and individual freedoms?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>The New Moon also sextiles Mars in <strong>Scorpio</strong> and Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong></em>. This is an opportunity to heal our collective wounds around any sense of spiritual disconnection in our world of accomplishments. We get a chance to connect more deeply with others and bring a powerful approach to what we are building and working towards. Our actions tend to be in greater alignment with our deepest desires.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: What if I could be both productive <em>and</em> gentle with myself at the same time? What would a compassionate approach make possible? What is pushing or pulling at me? How could my actions become a source of empowerment? What if I allowed all actions to flow from a deep sense of authentic connectedness? What if I forgave myself and others for having flaws or limitations?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Given that it rules <strong>Capricorn</strong>, <em>Saturn\'s placement in its own sign</em> plays an important role with this New Moon -- and if you\'d like to know how Saturn\'s journey in <strong>Capricorn</strong> will impact you personally over the next three years, feel free to check out my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, available for purchase <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/saturn-in-capricorn-until-2020/\">on my website</a> (or check out a<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/saturn/5067/\"> 30-minute excerpt for free :-)</a></span>\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Saturn conjuncts Mercury while in <strong>Capricorn</strong></em>. This reminds us of the power of our mind -- that our thoughts and words matter. What am I doing, career-wise? What is the long-term plan? How can I honor and share those goals with others in a clear and honest way? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">It\'s time to think seriously about what no longer works. As best as you can, investigate your thought processes: What no longer feels useful in my approach? What if I got real about that? What might be possible if I took 5% more responsibility for my inner dialog, and the energy those thoughts disperse?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>To sum all of this up:</strong> We are invited to become mature, responsible planetary citizens, while honoring our individuality -- in other words, making a difference, one by one -- even when it seems as though we are too little to create a big shift on our own. No matter how small an action may seem, every pebble makes a ripple...</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This cosmic combo also directs our attention to our bottom lines. What matters most to me? What are my priorities? Am I living my truth, and thus loving my goals? Where is it best to be flexible, and where must I remain focused and in alignment with my commitments? When have I felt the happiest? What if I committed 5% more to the things, people and places in my life that make me happy? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Inner strength and self-reliance come almost entirely from adversity; obstacles are the part of life that show us where we have an opportunity to become more capable and where we have drifted from contact with outer reality or inner truth. Am I on the right track, as best as I can tell? Am I walking my own path? Or someone else\'s? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">What obstacles can I see or sense from here? What if there was value in those obstacles? Could I send them gratitude for being given the opportunity to get back into greater alignment with myself and reality?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Choose wisely for 2018 and beyond. Participate consciously in the evolution of existence on this planet, not from fear, but from knowledge of your inner strength and personal power -- the power of your heart and your humanity! Trust your inner truth!</span>\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are also about to enter Eclipse season, as the first of two Eclipses becomes exact on Jan. 31st; I\'ll be talking more about this in my next Monthly Forecasting Forum on Feb. 3rd.

This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">But... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">It\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days. </span> <b></b>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Friday evening, </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an opportune Mercury/Neptune aspect </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">becomes exact at 8:08pm EST.</span><b> We started to feel this aspect from Thursday morning on; it will remain strong until Saturday night.</b></span> <span style=\"color: #000000;\">This aspect gives us the opportunity to bring compassion and an intuitive approach to our thinking process. Having faith and connecting to our Higher Selves will be of service to us at this time. Any artistic or spiritual endeavors are likely to do well at this time. Music might help us with our thinking process and ability to get things done. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Let yourself be inspired! A book, a song, a movie, someone else\'s words… allow the Universe to speak to you. Open your mind to a higher vibration -- and remember, opportunities are openings... they aren\'t necessarily handed to us... we have to \"take\" them and make something of them. Is there anything that came up around 16 days ago that needs to be readdressed?

If possible, try to defer any major brand-new projects <strong>until after Feb. 25th,</strong> when this Eclipse season is over. If something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic… allow it to be.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Another Eclipse-related phenomenon: not only do Eclipses bring up uncertainty in us, they might also leave us nervous, anxious, unsettled and disoriented. As best as you can, observe your feelings and stay grounded in the \"here and now\". Connect to your intuition and inner wisdom; they will help carry you through this period. Remember: it\'s temporary and we are receiving an upgrade -- that\'s a good thing!</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Just like upgrading a computer, you will get all the information you need, as soon as the upgrade is complete -- so as best you can, be patient.

Last but not least, Eclipse season begins on Sunday and runs until Feb. 25th.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">There will also be three <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning (for 2 hours), Friday morning (for a little over 8.5 hours), and Sunday evening (for a little over 5 hours).</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday (January 15th): </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day.</b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> It will journey there <b>until Wednesday very early morning. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery. </span><!--more-->\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, be truthful with yourself about where you are at: Do you actually have a realistic view about what is so, right now, in your life? Not what you wish it to be or what you would like it to be or where you see yourself going.... What is so right now? Once you know where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\", whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday very early morning, </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">becomes exact at 1:59am EST.</span><b> We started to feel this aspect from Friday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday morning. </b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Until Friday, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">23-27 degrees</span> of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>?

We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support professional or personal goals. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: Where could I really dig in to solve a problem? How might passion help deliver on my long-term goals? How could other people\'s resources support my ability to create transformation? How might they help me stand in my power?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><b><i> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">17-21 degrees</span> </i></b><i>of</i><b><i> Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces </i></b><i>or <strong>Virgo</strong></i><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces). </i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday (Jan. 16th): </b><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>t</em><b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">he Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</span></i></b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day </b></span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">(see Monday for details).</span> </span></span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday evening, at 9:17pm ES</b>T<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,</span><em> the Moon aligns with the Sun in almost 27 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong>, </em>launching </span><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">a new Moon cycle.</span> </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is a good time to go within, to seed anything we would like to accomplish for the next 28 days, and maybe even beyond. The next section of this forecast will dig in to this in more detail; you may also want to <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/commitments-integrity/\">watch my New Moon video</a> :-) </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is the first New Moon of the year and since <strong>Capricorn</strong> represents the quest for mastery on the physical plane, some useful questions you can ask yourself include: </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">What is my relationship to the physical? Do I respect the laws of matter? Am I going about things in a realistic way? How committed am I really? Where does my inner compass point? What am I willing to undergo to overcome adversity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The highest vibration of <strong>Capricorn</strong> is the development of responsibility, resourcefulness, reliability, self-mastery, the ability to set realistic goals and healthy boundaries. The next 28 days are a perfect time to work on these areas. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, prepare for the future, make commitments and recognize responsibilities -- in other words, nurture your dreams in a realistic manner. Focus on setting and achieving practical and attainable long-term goals, one step at a time, one day at a time -- this is not about immediate results, it\'s about the quality of the foundation you are building.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> also invites us to set the kind of realistic limits and boundaries that allow everyone involved to learn from the consequences of their choices. Where in my life am I able to set realistic limits and boundaries? Where is that an obstacle in your life? What am I afraid of in those moments? What would be the worst of that?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> relates directly to the level of our maturity: We start out on a more instinctual, survival level; this stage is basically fear-based, with a scarcity mentality. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Once we get better at living on the earth plane -- and we understand the rules better -- we transition to goal-oriented ambition and self-challenge, seeking recognition and rewards. This phase is still sometimes fear-based, but already we are taking more responsibility for our part in achieving things, and we are manifesting on the physical plane. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Eventually, as we grow spiritually and learn more about the laws of matter, earthly ambitions are often replaced by some form of spiritual service. We recognize that personal gain is not the only (or even the highest) goal, we see that when we contribute to others, we are also giving to ourselves -- perhaps we also surpass the physical appearance of separation and connect to life in it\'s highest form.</span> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">At this level, we are living in pure accordance with our conscience, from a place of maturity and inner guidance.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: What if I developed 5% more discipline? Integrity? What about 5% more commitment towards something that aligns both with myself and with life itself? What would 100% responsibility for my life look like? What if I responded to situations in a way that respects and serves all those involved? </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">  </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> <em>This New Moon aligns with Venus and Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong> and squares Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>.</em> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">First let\'s focus on the alignment with Venus and Pluto: This conveys an extra-potent message about our perception of physical reality -- time and space -- and about our relationship to love, our values, power or feeling empowered. Ask yourself: If I truly had choice in the matter, what kind of future would I choose to step into? Who would I choose to connect with? Why? Who would I not choose to connect with? Why not?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Venus in conjunction with the New Moon</em> advises us to choose wisely and from the heart. Ask yourself: Am I true to myself? Am I working too hard without making enough progress? Am I expressing my feelings truthfully? Or hiding my true feelings from others? Am I in touch with what\'s important to me -- especially in regards to relationships? Am I happy? Could I love and respect myself and life 5% more?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">With this many planets in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, it is important for us to take breaks — or simply slow down and allow ourselves to tune in. It’s important to explore ways to stay heart-centered and grounded -- seek tools or people to help you with that exploration. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Now let\'s talk about <em>the square to Uranus</em> -- the energy of freedom, innovation and reform. This combo focuses our attention on the right use of power -- which respects the rights, needs, and gifts of all beings. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: Where do I need to be more courageous? Where do I need to \"think different\"? What if I became 5% more aware of my personal power? Where might I have given it away to others? And how might I begin to reclaim it? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Remember that change is not always progress. Consider all options first and then respond, rather than reacting; stay flexible and be willing to entertain new possibilities. What if -- in small or large ways -- I could help birth a new age, and with it a new world, one based on heart-centered consciousness and individual freedoms?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>The New Moon also sextiles Mars in <strong>Scorpio</strong> and Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong></em>. This is an opportunity to heal our collective wounds around any sense of spiritual disconnection in our world of accomplishments. We get a chance to connect more deeply with others and bring a powerful approach to what we are building and working towards. Our actions tend to be in greater alignment with our deepest desires.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: What if I could be both productive <em>and</em> gentle with myself at the same time? What would a compassionate approach make possible? What is pushing or pulling at me? How could my actions become a source of empowerment? What if I allowed all actions to flow from a deep sense of authentic connectedness? What if I forgave myself and others for having flaws or limitations?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Given that it rules <strong>Capricorn</strong>, <em>Saturn\'s placement in its own sign</em> plays an important role with this New Moon -- and if you\'d like to know how Saturn\'s journey in <strong>Capricorn</strong> will impact you personally over the next three years, feel free to check out my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, available for purchase <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-recorded-webinars/\">on my website</a> (or check out a<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/5067/\"> 30-minute excerpt for free :-)</a></span>\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Saturn conjuncts Mercury while in <strong>Capricorn</strong></em>. This reminds us of the power of our mind -- that our thoughts and words matter. What am I doing, career-wise? What is the long-term plan? How can I honor and share those goals with others in a clear and honest way? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">It\'s time to think seriously about what no longer works. As best as you can, investigate your thought processes: What no longer feels useful in my approach? What if I got real about that? What might be possible if I took 5% more responsibility for my inner dialog, and the energy those thoughts disperse?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>To sum all of this up:</strong> We are invited to become mature, responsible planetary citizens, while honoring our individuality -- in other words, making a difference, one by one -- even when it seems as though we are too little to create a big shift on our own. No matter how small an action may seem, every pebble makes a ripple...</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This cosmic combo also directs our attention to our bottom lines. What matters most to me? What are my priorities? Am I living my truth, and thus loving my goals? Where is it best to be flexible, and where must I remain focused and in alignment with my commitments? When have I felt the happiest? What if I committed 5% more to the things, people and places in my life that make me happy? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Inner strength and self-reliance come almost entirely from adversity; obstacles are the part of life that show us where we have an opportunity to become more capable and where we have drifted from contact with outer reality or inner truth. Am I on the right track, as best as I can tell? Am I walking my own path? Or someone else\'s? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">What obstacles can I see or sense from here? What if there was value in those obstacles? Could I send them gratitude for being given the opportunity to get back into greater alignment with myself and reality?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Choose wisely for 2018 and beyond. Participate consciously in the evolution of existence on this planet, not from fear, but from knowledge of your inner strength and personal power -- the power of your heart and your humanity! Trust your inner truth!</span>\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are also about to enter Eclipse season, as the first of two Eclipses becomes exact on Jan. 31st; I\'ll be talking more about this in my next Monthly Forecasting Forum on Feb. 3rd.

Take a breath. Relax. Find your peace. Don\'t require the Universe to move more rapidly than it is. It is actually working perfectly, and it will prove that to you if you will give it a chance. Really. Trust me on this.” — Neale Donald Walsh</span>\r\n<h3>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement:</h3>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are getting closer to the launch of my new online community!</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> Right now we are aiming for Jan.16th or 17th -- keep your fingers crossed for me ;-) I\'m super-excited, and at the same time, I also sometimes stress out about the scope of this amazing new beginning for myself and everyone out there who will join us. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">But as my spiritual coach likes to remind me, \"Life is an ongoing experiment\" and \"True professionalism is about being able to be flexible and kind about unforeseen situations that come up, allowing ourselves to learn from them and finding out how to make creative adjustments.\"</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>This week\'s headline item<span style=\"color: #000000;\">s</span></b>: the New Moon in Capricorn becomes exact on Tuesday; Venus changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius on Wednesday, and the Sun will do the same on Friday. Last but not least, Eclipse season begins on Sunday and runs until Feb. 25th.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">There will also be three <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning (for 2 hours), Friday morning (for a little over 8.5 hours), and Sunday evening (for a little over 5 hours).</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday (January 15th): </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day.</b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> It will journey there <b>until Wednesday very early morning. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery. </span><!--more-->\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, be truthful with yourself about where you are at: Do you actually have a realistic view about what is so, right now, in your life? Not what you wish it to be or what you would like it to be or where you see yourself going.... What is so right now? Once you know where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\", whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday very early morning, </b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">becomes exact at 1:59am EST.</span><b> We started to feel this aspect from Friday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday morning. </b></span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Until Friday, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">23-27 degrees</span> of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Monday late evening: </b><i>an opportune long-term Jupiter/Pluto aspect </i>that we <b>started to feel back on Tuesday Jan. 3rd becomes exact at 11:13pm EST; it will remain strong until Wednesday, Jan. 31st </b>and brings with it an opportunity to deepen our relationships, business and personal alike. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">A positive attitude and deeper trust in our connections with others gives us the chance to build something meaningful and share our passions with them. We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support professional or personal goals. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: Where could I really dig in to solve a problem? How might passion help deliver on my long-term goals? How could other people\'s resources support my ability to create transformation? How might they help me stand in my power?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><b><i> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">17-21 degrees</span> </i></b><i>of</i><b><i> Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces </i></b><i>or <strong>Virgo</strong></i><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces). </i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday (Jan. 16th): </b><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>t</em><b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">he Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</span></i></b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> </span></i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><b>all day </b></span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">(see Monday for details).</span> </span></span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>Tuesday evening, at 9:17pm ES</b>T<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,</span><em> the Moon aligns with the Sun in almost 27 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong>, </em>launching </span><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">a new Moon cycle.</span> </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is a good time to go within, to seed anything we would like to accomplish for the next 28 days, and maybe even beyond. The next section of this forecast will dig in to this in more detail; you may also want to <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/commitments-integrity/\">watch my New Moon video</a> :-) </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This is the first New Moon of the year and since <strong>Capricorn</strong> represents the quest for mastery on the physical plane, some useful questions you can ask yourself include: </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">What is my relationship to the physical? Do I respect the laws of matter? Am I going about things in a realistic way? How committed am I really? Where does my inner compass point? What am I willing to undergo to overcome adversity? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">The highest vibration of <strong>Capricorn</strong> is the development of responsibility, resourcefulness, reliability, self-mastery, the ability to set realistic goals and healthy boundaries. The next 28 days are a perfect time to work on these areas. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">As best as you can, prepare for the future, make commitments and recognize responsibilities -- in other words, nurture your dreams in a realistic manner. Focus on setting and achieving practical and attainable long-term goals, one step at a time, one day at a time -- this is not about immediate results, it\'s about the quality of the foundation you are building.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> also invites us to set the kind of realistic limits and boundaries that allow everyone involved to learn from the consequences of their choices. Where in my life am I able to set realistic limits and boundaries? Where is that an obstacle in your life? What am I afraid of in those moments? What would be the worst of that?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Capricorn</strong> relates directly to the level of our maturity: We start out on a more instinctual, survival level; this stage is basically fear-based, with a scarcity mentality. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Once we get better at living on the earth plane -- and we understand the rules better -- we transition to goal-oriented ambition and self-challenge, seeking recognition and rewards. This phase is still sometimes fear-based, but already we are taking more responsibility for our part in achieving things, and we are manifesting on the physical plane. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Eventually, as we grow spiritually and learn more about the laws of matter, earthly ambitions are often replaced by some form of spiritual service. We recognize that personal gain is not the only (or even the highest) goal, we see that when we contribute to others, we are also giving to ourselves -- perhaps we also surpass the physical appearance of separation and connect to life in it\'s highest form.</span> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">At this level, we are living in pure accordance with our conscience, from a place of maturity and inner guidance.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: What if I developed 5% more discipline? Integrity? What about 5% more commitment towards something that aligns both with myself and with life itself? What would 100% responsibility for my life look like? What if I responded to situations in a way that respects and serves all those involved? </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">  </span>\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"> <em>This New Moon aligns with Venus and Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong> and squares Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>.</em> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">First let\'s focus on the alignment with Venus and Pluto: This conveys an extra-potent message about our perception of physical reality -- time and space -- and about our relationship to love, our values, power or feeling empowered. Ask yourself: If I truly had choice in the matter, what kind of future would I choose to step into? Who would I choose to connect with? Why? Who would I not choose to connect with? Why not?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Venus in conjunction with the New Moon</em> advises us to choose wisely and from the heart. Ask yourself: Am I true to myself? Am I working too hard without making enough progress? Am I expressing my feelings truthfully? Or hiding my true feelings from others? Am I in touch with what\'s important to me -- especially in regards to relationships? Am I happy? Could I love and respect myself and life 5% more?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">With this many planets in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, it is important for us to take breaks — or simply slow down and allow ourselves to tune in. It’s important to explore ways to stay heart-centered and grounded -- seek tools or people to help you with that exploration. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Now let\'s talk about <em>the square to Uranus</em> -- the energy of freedom, innovation and reform. This combo focuses our attention on the right use of power -- which respects the rights, needs, and gifts of all beings. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: Where do I need to be more courageous? Where do I need to \"think different\"? What if I became 5% more aware of my personal power? Where might I have given it away to others? And how might I begin to reclaim it? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Remember that change is not always progress. Consider all options first and then respond, rather than reacting; stay flexible and be willing to entertain new possibilities. What if -- in small or large ways -- I could help birth a new age, and with it a new world, one based on heart-centered consciousness and individual freedoms?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>The New Moon also sextiles Mars in <strong>Scorpio</strong> and Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong></em>. This is an opportunity to heal our collective wounds around any sense of spiritual disconnection in our world of accomplishments. We get a chance to connect more deeply with others and bring a powerful approach to what we are building and working towards. Our actions tend to be in greater alignment with our deepest desires.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ask yourself: What if I could be both productive <em>and</em> gentle with myself at the same time? What would a compassionate approach make possible? What is pushing or pulling at me? How could my actions become a source of empowerment? What if I allowed all actions to flow from a deep sense of authentic connectedness? What if I forgave myself and others for having flaws or limitations?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Given that it rules <strong>Capricorn</strong>, <em>Saturn\'s placement in its own sign</em> plays an important role with this New Moon -- and if you\'d like to know how Saturn\'s journey in <strong>Capricorn</strong> will impact you personally over the next three years, feel free to check out my 90+ minute webinar on the subject, available for purchase <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-recorded-webinars/\">on my website</a> (or check out a<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/5067/\"> 30-minute excerpt for free :-)</a></span>\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><em>Saturn conjuncts Mercury while in <strong>Capricorn</strong></em>. This reminds us of the power of our mind -- that our thoughts and words matter. What am I doing, career-wise? What is the long-term plan? How can I honor and share those goals with others in a clear and honest way? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">It\'s time to think seriously about what no longer works. As best as you can, investigate your thought processes: What no longer feels useful in my approach? What if I got real about that? What might be possible if I took 5% more responsibility for my inner dialog, and the energy those thoughts disperse?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>To sum all of this up:</strong> We are invited to become mature, responsible planetary citizens, while honoring our individuality -- in other words, making a difference, one by one -- even when it seems as though we are too little to create a big shift on our own. No matter how small an action may seem, every pebble makes a ripple...</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">This cosmic combo also directs our attention to our bottom lines. What matters most to me? What are my priorities? Am I living my truth, and thus loving my goals? Where is it best to be flexible, and where must I remain focused and in alignment with my commitments? When have I felt the happiest? What if I committed 5% more to the things, people and places in my life that make me happy? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Inner strength and self-reliance come almost entirely from adversity; obstacles are the part of life that show us where we have an opportunity to become more capable and where we have drifted from contact with outer reality or inner truth. Am I on the right track, as best as I can tell? Am I walking my own path? Or someone else\'s? </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">What obstacles can I see or sense from here? What if there was value in those obstacles? Could I send them gratitude for being given the opportunity to get back into greater alignment with myself and reality?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Choose wisely for 2018 and beyond. Participate consciously in the evolution of existence on this planet, not from fear, but from knowledge of your inner strength and personal power -- the power of your heart and your humanity! Trust your inner truth!</span>\r\n</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are also about to enter Eclipse season, as the first of two Eclipses becomes exact on Jan. 31st; I\'ll be talking more about this in my next Monthly Forecasting Forum on Feb. 3rd.

We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Social gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius.

An inner awareness needs to be developed in order to see what needs adjusting -- this aspect calls for flexibility.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We experience an internal stress between our masculine energies (assertiveness/aggression) and our need to express our unique spark (and the desire to make a difference).</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are being asked to go within and look at our personal goals and desires -- and reach a new perspective on how we go about achieving them. Are we driven by personal resistance and rebellion, or motivated to positively impact humanity?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Once we get clear about our deepest motivations, we will discover new ways to move forward and embrace our uniqueness in a healthy way, while demonstrating our strength and power more authentically, from a place of love and abundance, rather than fear and limitation. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">How might you get in touch with your inner genius?

This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">But... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">It\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\".

Music might help us with our thinking process and ability to get things done. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Let yourself be inspired! A book, a song, a movie, someone else\'s words… allow the Universe to speak to you. Open your mind to a higher vibration -- and remember, opportunities are openings... they aren\'t necessarily handed to us... we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.

If possible, try to defer any major brand-new projects <strong>until after Feb. 25th,</strong> when this Eclipse season is over. If something is beginning or ending in a way that seems organic… allow it to be.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Another Eclipse-related phenomenon: not only do Eclipses bring up uncertainty in us, they might also leave us nervous, anxious, unsettled and disoriented. As best as you can, observe your feelings and stay grounded in the \"here and now\". Connect to your intuition and inner wisdom; they will help carry you through this period. Remember: it\'s temporary and we are receiving an upgrade -- that\'s a good thing!</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Just like upgrading a computer, you will get all the information you need, as soon as the upgrade is complete -- so as best you can, be patient.

Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 6th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b>(see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 2:34am EST</strong>, <i>Mercury changes signs from dreamy, creative</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>to enthusiastic, direct</i> <b><i>Aries. </i></b>It will journey through this courageous sign, for an unusually long time, <b>until </b><b>May 13th</b> (due to its 3-week retrograde phase that starts on March 22nd).<i> </i>During this time, our thinking speeds up, and we are eager for new endeavors.\r\n\r\nGiven that we want to achieve our goals as quickly as possible, we may come off impulsive and impatient, and must therefore speak (and get answers) faster. Nothing stands in our way now: we are ready, we are brave, we want what we want and we want it now ;-)\r\n\r\nAs you can perhaps imagine, we need to watch out for blurting things out prematurely or inappropriately; as best you can, choose your words carefully and pause before responding ;-)\r\n\r\nRemember, everyone else is feeling the Aries energy quite strongly too, so do your best to not take it personally if someone ignores what you want, or says something insensitive. Keep the focus on yourself instead -- and take responsibility for how you are communicating or expressing yourself.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel especially chatty for the next 9 weeks. Your mental energy will be quite active and you feel the need to connect to others -- whether it be in person, via email, over the phone or via social media. New ideas and new connections are very likely. </i>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel a tremendous energy burst for the next 9 weeks: really enthusiastic and physically strong.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:45pm EST, </strong><i>Venus changes signs from intuitive, creative, </i><i>dreamy </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> to fast-paced, enthusiastic, active </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>,</i><i> </i>where it will journey <strong>until March 31st. </strong>Until then, we are going to feel passionate about connecting to others. We are ready to make a new start: if you are single, this could be a great chance to start something new (all things being equal ;-)\r\n\r\nWith Venus in <strong>Aries</strong>, spontaneity and independence are important to us. You’re not the only one who likes a challenge, so don\'t make it too easy for others to win you over ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you are already in a committed relationship, you get a wonderful chance to bring freshness and excitement to your bedroom and \"other parts of the house\" ;-) We also have more energy than usual; we are more likely to want to get out of the house, and be active with others.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, beauty and love will enter your life during this time, you will feel more attractive and you will attract things to you. As a </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i>, you will feel more energized, passionate and more direct than usual.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 7th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><strong><b><i>Scorpio</i></b></strong><strong> until 5:03pm EST</strong> (see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 3:55am EST</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 13 hours, <strong>until 5:03pm EST</strong>. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">Use this intuitive time</span> <span style=\"color: #993300;\">to connect with others on a deep emotional level, and explore greater truths about your ability to authentically connect with another.</span>\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday morning and afternoon ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon conjuncts Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 5:03pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i>, </b>where it will journey<i> <strong>until Saturday early morning</strong>.</i><b>. </b>We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 8th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b></strong> (see Wednesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday around 11pm EST, </strong><em>the</em><strong> </strong><em>Mercury Shadow phase </em>begins, when Mercury reaches almost 5 degrees of <em><strong>Aries.</strong></em><em> </em>until March 22nd in almost 17 degrees of <em><strong>Aries. </strong></em>\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury enters a 3-week shadow phase</i><i>, as it reaches 4 degrees and 47 minutes of </i><b><i>Aries. </i></b>This precedes the retrograde phase, which will begin on March 22nd in almost 17 degrees of <b>Aries</b> (more on that in 3 weeks).\r\n\r\nSo what is the \"shadow phase\"? To explain this, I\'ll quickly cover what happens when a planet \"stations\" and then goes \"retrograde\".\r\n\r\nRelative to us on Earth, a planet sometimes looks like it is slowing down (\"stationing\"), then stopping. After being still for a while, it actually appears to go \"backward\" through the sky (this is the \"retrograde\" phase). It\'s a little like catching up to a car on the highway, driving exactly alongside it for a moment, then passing it and pulling ahead.\r\n\r\nAt first, retrograde movement is slow, but the planet gradually reaches its normal pace through the sky -- except it\'s going backward. The process then reverses itself: the backward pace slows, the planet crawls to a \"halt\", then it starts to move forward again (i.e. it goes direct). In our car analogy, it\'s like the car you just passed gradually speeds up and passes you again.\r\n\r\nThere are also two \"shadow\" phases -- during these, the planet travels over a part of the sky it will later \"revisit\". The first \"shadow\" comes before the planet moves backward; the second comes when the planet starts to catch back up (after going direct).\r\n\r\nIt\'s like you went hiking and left something behind at camp. If you went back to get it, you\'d have some catching up to do, and would see the same scenery twice or more.\r\n\r\nMercury\'s shadow phases usually last 2-3 weeks before and after the Retrograde phase.\r\n\r\nIf you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items -- especially connected to transportation (cars, airline tickets, etc.) or communication devices (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) -- be aware of the shadow periods as well as the retrograde phases. If possible, get these things done before Mercury enters it\'s shadow or wait until after the shadow phases are over -- that would be Sept. 19th in this case ;-)\r\n\r\nOf course, if there is something that <i>must</i> get done during these phases, don\'t put your whole life on hold, just because Mercury is retrograde or in it\'s shadow. Sometimes things line up exactly at the right time; as best as you can, trust that it\'s all \"perfect\" ;-)\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Thursday late evening, at 11:45pm EST, </strong><i>Jupiter comes to a halt </i>at 23 degrees of <strong>Scorpio</strong>,<b> </b>starting its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. The retrograde phases are inner processes -- they help us connect to a particular energy internally, and thus express it externally (once Jupiter goes direct again). Jupiter retrograde brings a chance to tap inner wisdom, optimism and sense of possibility, and an inner understanding of how the world works. This retrograde phase lasts <b>until July 10th.</b>\r\n\r\nDuring this time, we get to choose what we truly believe -- which beliefs serve us and which don\'t -- and we can more easily let go of limiting beliefs and experience new truths. While retrograde in <strong>Scorpio</strong>, <span style=\"color: #993300;\">Jupiter pointedly invites us to take a look at our intimate relationships, our attitudes around empowerment or disempowerment, and a deep authentic, emotional connection with ourselves and others. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">What do I believe about my intimate partnerships? About empowerment? Disempowerment? Deep authentic connections? Where am I making assumptions that do not serve me? What might be holding me back? </span>\r\n\r\nThe connection to inner wisdom is heightened. Ask yourself: What do I “just know”? If the answer is “I don’t know”, ask yourself “What if I did know? What mighty it be in that case?”\r\n\r\nFeel free to <span style=\"color: #993300;\">check out my 30-minute excerpt</span> from my webinar about the Jupiter and Mercury Station and Retrograde phases in March: <span style=\"color: #993300;\">https://…</span>\r\n\r\nAnd if you want to know how that will impact you personally, feel free to buy the whole 90+ min. webinar on the subject --  <span style=\"color: #993300;\">click here: http://</span> -- we talked about what to expect for the next 4 weeks, and how it all applies to our own birth charts ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> 12-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this retrograde phase.

Each individual coaching session is tailored to your specific needs, bringing you back to your true self, your higher self -- place of inner calm. Release blockages, fears or beliefs that have been holding you back -- and live your life from a place of acceptance, open-heartedness and possibility for growth and expansion. Regular sessions are 50 minutes long. 25-minute sessions are available for SuperStar members only.\r\n\r\nIn the past few decades, world-class business people, public speakers and others who face demanding and rigorous professional demands have sought coaching to help them be their “personal best.” For centuries, top athletes have used coaches; they understand that the only thing that will get them through the finish line is their own commitment combined with skilled support.\r\n\r\nNow, more and more people from all walks of life are making a commitment to having a coach that sees their potential 100%, gives them pointers and supports them, no matter what.\r\n\r\nWhen you are seeking to go beyond your current level--personally, financially, emotionally, spiritually or in all areas of your life--Sonja can show you how to fine-tune your perceptions and help you to create awareness, clarity and skill that catapult you forward in a meaningful way.\r\n<h3>Why Astrology and Coaching?</h3>\r\nAstrology is a really great tool to understand yourself better and to help you align with your highest potential and with the energies as they are moment to moment. The coaching method Sonja uses in addition to her astrology practice is called The Sedona Method. The Sedona Method is a wonderful tool to use for releasing fears, \"old\" belief patterns, suppressed feelings -- really, any energy blockages that keep you from being where you want to be.\r\n\r\nSonja has chosen the Sedona Method because it is a gentle, yet effective technique that has supported her personally and many of her clients over the years with releasing the \"old\" programming and conditioning that our day-to-day mind is attached to. Sonja\'s coaching/healing sessions help you connect to who you truly are and who you choose to be moment to moment. This creates happiness within you and opens up greater space for your growth and evolution -- from a loving place, not a fearful one.\r\n\r\nCoaching/Healing sessions are meant as a support system for in between Readings, and in addition to the Astrology Readings Sonja offers. However, you can do Coaching sessions without receiving a reading as well.\r\n<h3>Coaching and Site Membership</h3>\r\nCoaching sessions can be purchased with or without site membership. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/superstar-membership/\">SuperStar m</a><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/superstar-membership/\">embers</a> receive one 25-minute coaching session with Sonja per month.\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\"1_3\"][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"3.0.60\" background_layout=\"light\" text_orientation=\"left\" border_style=\"solid\"]\r\n\r\n[products ids=\"1614\"]\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\"3.0.96\" background_layout=\"light\" text_orientation=\"left\" border_style=\"solid\"]\r\n\r\n[products ids=\"1616\"]\r\n\r\n[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]', 'Coaching', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '4277-revision-v1', '', '', '2018-03-01 14:42:52', '2018-03-01 19:42:52', '', '4277', 'https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/4277-revision-v1/', '0', 'revision', '', '0');

It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late morning</strong>, <em>a Mars/Saturn alignment in almost 9 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> becomes exact at 11:44am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last Thursday (March 29th) on, it will be strong until this Saturday (April 7th)</strong>. This is a message to take it slow and steady and bring some focus to our endeavors.\r\n\r\nThe last Mars/Saturn cycle started in late August 2016 (in almost 10 degrees of Sagittarius), it is now coming to an end -- and the new cycle will last until late March 2020.\r\n\r\nWe need to learn to harness our enthusiasm and look at the reality of things. If we want to make progress right now, we need to take it one step at a time. As best as you can, be sure to build a solid foundation before zooming ahead.\r\n\r\nGiven that this alignment is taking place in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, we are invited to take a closer look at real-world, long-term physical manifestation, and at the practical implications of our actions. We must recognize that an undivided focus on such things can help us achieve our goals just as much as our talents and ambition.\r\n\r\nThis is also a great time to commit to a new project connected to social responsibilities, or career building; it could also be connected to government or social structures.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What would a stable foundation for my projects look like? What is something truly responsible I could do (small or large)?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in 6-12 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></i><b><i><strong>,</strong> Cancer, Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i> will be most affected by this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> (Mars rules Aries; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\nAlso, <b>Monday before 12pm EDT</b>: last chance to sign up for my MONTHLY FORECASTING FORUM -- live<b> at </b>10am PST/<b>1pm EDT</b>/6pm BST (London-time).<b> Please note that Saturn and Pluto will Station and go Retrograde in April, and Mars, the warrior archetype, will be part of this mix as we\'ll. </b>If you want to know how these planetary movements are going to impact you personally, join me live or sign up for your mp4-video recording.\r\n\r\nOther than <a href=\"http://goo.gl/D0P2Rk\">booking a reading</a> with me, this is the highest level of support you can get -- and it\'s now $37 for the 90+ minute webinar. <b>If you would like to join live</b>, please keep in mind that <b>registration will close an hour before the live event begins</b>, if you register after 12pm EDT on Monday you will receive the mp4-video recording of the webinar.\r\n\r\n<strong>To join for FREE</strong>, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\">become a Star or SuperStar Member</a> on my site.\r\n<strong><a href=\"http://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">To register at the regular fee and get access to the Members-only Full Moon video, click here</a></strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Already a Member?</strong> You will receive an invitation to join us live automatically via email and a recording within 24-hours of the live event (also via email).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (April 3rd)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em> <strong>all day </strong>(see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 12:06pm EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 15 hours, <strong>until 2:55am EDT (Wednesday very early morning)</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with others on a deep emotional level, and explore greater truths about your ability to make those authentic connections.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (April 4th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><strong> until 2:55am EDT </strong>(see Monday and Tuesday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 2:55am EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i>, </b>where it will journey<i> <strong>until Friday afternoon</strong></i><b>. </b>We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:05am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Sunday evening (April 1st) on; it will remain strong until this Saturday </strong><b>morning.</b> This aspect<i> </i>could bring some juicy energy to our conversations -- a chance to have some discussions that have been overdue.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, make it a productive discussion that serves you and others -- a win-win -- otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards. Also, watch out on the road for some crazy drivers… rushing might not necessarily get us there faster ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 7-13 degrees</i><i> of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this aspect more strongly than otherwise.</i><i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (April 5th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Sagittarius</strong> </em><strong>all day </strong>(see Wednesday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:22am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Sunday morning (April 1st) on; it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening (April 9th). </strong>Due to the Mercury Retrograde phase, we get to experience this aspect several times; this is the second pass within the last 25 days. This gives us a chance to address our approach toward any misunderstandings.\r\n\r\nThis aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature. Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps? Is there anything that came up in mid March that needs to be readdressed? If so, this is your chance... ;-)\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to your passions, while remaining committed to exploring them one step at a time. What is my life calling me to explore? Could I go for it (one step at a time)?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 6-12 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn,  Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Saturn rules Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (April 6th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Sagittarius</strong> </em><strong>until 2:01pm EDT </strong>(see Wednesday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 9:36am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 4.5 hours, <strong>until 2:01pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self — explore, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday morning and afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 2:01pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Sunday late evening</strong>.<b> </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it\'s still transiting through Sagittarius until Tuesday late evening, making this a great time to take a long, last look at our belief structures, explore limiting beliefs and bust through conditioned thought structures. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at the \"meaning of life\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, be authentic about your beliefs: Do they actually match your direct experience of life -- as it is for you now, rather than 5 or 10 years ago? What is true as of now? What is not? This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Sunday very early morning).\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Friday, </b><i>Pluto slows down (or \"stations\")</i>, getting ready to come to a halt on April 22nd, when it will begin its 5-month retrograde phase. This makes its energy more exalted in the sky <strong>for</strong> <strong>the next 4 weeks</strong><i>. </i>When an outer planet stations, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us -- and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\r\n\r\nPluto is associated with our soul purpose. It relates to the process of empowerment -- our ability to feel empowered from within, through the experience of wholeness -- and to our deepest passions. It is also associated with transformation, for example our ability to transform darkness into light or \"death\" into \"rebirth\". Those terms don\'t necessarily refer to physical death or rebirth, but rather some sort of ending and beginning.\r\n\r\nTo get to a place of truthfulness on the soul level, Pluto will remove what no longer serves us, replacing it with something new -- something fully aligned with our deepest passions and soul purpose. When we resist the deep changes Pluto brings, we tend to suffer; on the other hand, when we surrender and allow for that process to take place, we will move to a place of greater authenticity -- and feel a newness and empowerment from within.\r\n\r\nThe Pluto station in <strong>Capricorn</strong> amplifies our need for accomplishment and authenticity in the world that we are building not only for ourselves, but for future generations. It also sends a message about empowering ourselves and transforming anything that is no longer congruent with our long-term-goals.\r\n\r\nBecause we are placing so much focus on building and succeeding, we need to be extra aware of how much self-care we are allowing ourselves to receive at this time: as best you can, allow balance between striving for accomplishment and nurturing yourself. Reach out for support if you start to feel burned out or find yourself going down the \"rabbit-hole\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take a closer look at whatever is \"in your face\" <b>for the next 4 weeks.</b> Look for what might no longer be in alignment with your soul\'s purpose (your deep authentic Self). Ask yourself: Where am I holding on, out of fear? What habits, behaviors or fears are holding me back from feeling fully empowered from within? What would it look like, if I was fully aligned with my Soul-purpose? How would it feel? When we confront our fears we very often discover hidden gifts and strengths.\r\n\r\nYou might also want to watch my latest Forum; we looked at the Pluto station in relationship to our birth charts. Other than <a href=\"http://goo.gl/D0P2Rk\">booking a reading</a> with me, the Forum is the highest level of support you can get -- and it\'s only $37 for the \"90+ minute\" webinar. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product-category/webinars/\">Click here to add the April Forecasting Forum to your cart.</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Aries, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this station more strongly.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio). </i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (April 7th)</strong>: t<em>he Moon remains in <i>practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><strong>Capricorn</strong> </em><strong>all day </strong>(see Friday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday late morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 9:37am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on; it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening (April 9th). </strong>This signals a time when we don\'t take connections with others lightly; we are more attracted to long-term commitment than to \"casual\".\r\n\r\nWe feel a strong sense of responsibility to loved ones and see ourselves generally as responsible and trustworthy. We have increased sensitivity to the needs of others. Mutual respect and loyalty become especially important to us at this time; this can strengthen and refresh old friendships too.\r\n\r\nWe bring more maturity, respect and integrity to interactions -- and this is a good time to approach \"elders\" and authority figures for their input. This doesn\'t have to be \"solemn\" though: What if you connected to yourself and others for appreciation of the little things that bring beauty and peace? If a flower had a message about the process of maturing, what might that message be? What might a tree have to say on the subject?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 6-12 degrees of</i><b><i> Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to April 15th New Moon in <b>Aries</b>. With the last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us to take a look at what needs to be completed. What -- if anything -- needs last-minute adjustments? What did you discover since March 17th? What did it mean for you?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 16-21 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Aries, Libra, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 6th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b>(see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 2:34am EST</strong>, <i>Mercury changes signs from dreamy, creative</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>to enthusiastic, direct</i> <b><i>Aries. </i></b>It will journey through this courageous sign, for an unusually long time, <b>until </b><b>May 13th</b> (due to its 3-week retrograde phase that starts on March 22nd).<i> </i>During this time, our thinking speeds up, and we are eager for new endeavors.\r\n\r\nGiven that we want to achieve our goals as quickly as possible, we may come off impulsive and impatient, and must therefore speak (and get answers) faster. Nothing stands in our way now: we are ready, we are brave, we want what we want and we want it now ;-)\r\n\r\nAs you can perhaps imagine, we need to watch out for blurting things out prematurely or inappropriately; as best you can, choose your words carefully and pause before responding ;-)\r\n\r\nRemember, everyone else is feeling the Aries energy quite strongly too, so do your best to not take it personally if someone ignores what you want, or says something insensitive. Keep the focus on yourself instead -- and take responsibility for how you are communicating or expressing yourself.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel especially chatty for the next 9 weeks. Your mental energy will be quite active and you feel the need to connect to others -- whether it be in person, via email, over the phone or via social media.

If so, you will feel a tremendous energy burst for the next 9 weeks: really enthusiastic and physically strong.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:45pm EST, </strong><i>Venus changes signs from intuitive, creative, </i><i>dreamy </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> to fast-paced, enthusiastic, active </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>,</i><i> </i>where it will journey <strong>until March 31st. </strong>Until then, we are going to feel passionate about connecting to others. We are ready to make a new start: if you are single, this could be a great chance to start something new (all things being equal ;-)\r\n\r\nWith Venus in <strong>Aries</strong>, spontaneity and independence are important to us. You’re not the only one who likes a challenge, so don\'t make it too easy for others to win you over ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you are already in a committed relationship, you get a wonderful chance to bring freshness and excitement to your bedroom and \"other parts of the house\" ;-) We also have more energy than usual; we are more likely to want to get out of the house, and be active with others.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, beauty and love will enter your life during this time, you will feel more attractive and you will attract things to you. As a </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i>, you will feel more energized, passionate and more direct than usual.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 7th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><strong><b><i>Scorpio</i></b></strong><strong> until 5:03pm EST</strong> (see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 3:55am EST</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 13 hours, <strong>until 5:03pm EST</strong>. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">Use this intuitive time</span> <span style=\"color: #993300;\">to connect with others on a deep emotional level, and explore greater truths about your ability to authentically connect with another.</span>\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday morning and afternoon ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon conjuncts Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 5:03pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i>, </b>where it will journey<i> <strong>until Saturday early morning</strong></i><b>. </b>We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things. This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Friday morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 8th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b></strong> (see Wednesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday around 11pm EST, </strong><i>Mercury enters a 3-week shadow phase</i><i>, as it reaches 4 degrees and 47 minutes of </i><b><i>Aries. </i></b>This precedes the retrograde phase, which will begin on March 22nd in almost 17 degrees of <b>Aries</b> (more on that in 3 weeks).\r\n\r\nSo what is the \"shadow phase\"? To explain this, I\'ll quickly cover what happens when a planet \"stations\" and then goes \"retrograde\".\r\n\r\nRelative to us on Earth, a planet sometimes looks like it is slowing down (\"stationing\"), then stopping. After being still for a while, it actually appears to go \"backward\" through the sky (this is the \"retrograde\" phase). It\'s a little like catching up to a car on the highway, driving exactly alongside it for a moment, then passing it and pulling ahead.\r\n\r\nAt first, retrograde movement is slow, but the planet gradually reaches its normal pace through the sky -- except it\'s going backward. The process then reverses itself: the backward pace slows, the planet crawls to a \"halt\", then it starts to move forward again (i.e. it goes direct). In our car analogy, it\'s like the car you just passed gradually speeds up and passes you again.\r\n\r\nThere are also two \"shadow\" phases -- during these, the planet travels over a part of the sky it will later \"revisit\". The first \"shadow\" comes before the planet moves backward; the second comes when the planet starts to catch back up (after going direct).\r\n\r\nIt\'s like you went hiking and left something behind at camp. If you went back to get it, you\'d have some catching up to do, and would see the same scenery twice or more.\r\n\r\nMercury\'s shadow phases usually last 2-3 weeks before and after the Retrograde phase.\r\n\r\nIf you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items -- especially connected to transportation (cars, airline tickets, etc.) or communication devices (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) -- be aware of the shadow periods as well as the retrograde phases. If possible, get these things done before Mercury enters it\'s shadow or wait until after the shadow phases are over -- that would be Sept. 19th in this case ;-)\r\n\r\nOf course, if there is something that <i>must</i> get done during these phases, don\'t put your whole life on hold, just because Mercury is retrograde or in it\'s shadow. Sometimes things line up exactly at the right time; as best as you can, trust that it\'s all \"perfect\" ;-)\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Thursday late evening, at 11:45pm EST, </strong><i>Jupiter comes to a halt </i>at 23 degrees of <strong>Scorpio</strong>,<b> </b>starting its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. The retrograde phases are inner processes -- they help us connect to a particular energy internally, and thus express it externally (once Jupiter goes direct again). Jupiter retrograde brings a chance to tap inner wisdom, optimism and sense of possibility, and an inner understanding of how the world works. This retrograde phase lasts <b>until July 10th.</b>\r\n\r\nDuring this time, we get to choose what we truly believe -- which beliefs serve us and which don\'t -- and we can more easily let go of limiting beliefs and experience new truths. While retrograde in <strong>Scorpio</strong>, <span style=\"color: #993300;\">Jupiter pointedly invites us to take a look at our intimate relationships, our attitudes around empowerment or disempowerment, and a deep authentic, emotional connection with ourselves and others. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">What do I believe about my intimate partnerships? About empowerment? Disempowerment? Deep authentic connections? Where am I making assumptions that do not serve me? What might be holding me back? </span>\r\n\r\nThe connection to inner wisdom is heightened. Ask yourself: What do I “just know”? If the answer is “I don’t know”, ask yourself “What if I did know? What mighty it be in that case?”\r\n\r\nFeel free to <span style=\"color: #993300;\">check out my 30-minute excerpt</span> from my webinar about the Jupiter and Mercury Station and Retrograde phases in March: <span style=\"color: #993300;\">https://…</span>\r\n\r\nAnd if you want to know how that will impact you personally, feel free to buy the whole 90+ min. webinar on the subject --  <span style=\"color: #993300;\">click here: http://</span> -- we talked about what to expect for the next 4 weeks, and how it all applies to our own birth charts ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> 12-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this retrograde phase.

However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to March 17th\'s New Moon in <strong>Pisces</strong>. We are thus best served by reviewing projects begun since the last New Moon in mid February (which was also a Solar Eclipse).\r\n\r\nWhat -- if anything -- needs adjustments? What did you discover since Feb. 15th? What did it mean for you? As best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-21 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Gemini</i></b><i>, <b>Pisces, </b>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 11th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</i><b><i> Capricorn </i>all day </b>(see Saturday early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning, </strong><em>a challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:00am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">next week</span> Tuesday (March 13th). </strong>This aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature. Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Virgo</b> wants us to communicate in a practical and precise manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Sagittarius</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the larger picture and get to the core of what we believe life is truly about, right here, right now -- not what it was 5 or 10 years ago. What is actually so?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to the details, while remaining committed to the exploration of your true beliefs. What is life really about?

Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\".

If so, you will feel a tremendous energy burst for the next 9 weeks: really enthusiastic and physically strong.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:45pm EST, </strong><i>Venus changes signs from intuitive, creative, </i><i>dreamy </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> to fast-paced, enthusiastic, active </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>,</i><i> </i>where it will journey <strong>until March 31st. </strong>Until then, we are going to feel passionate about connecting to others. We are ready to make a new start: if you are single, this could be a great chance to start something new (all things being equal ;-)\r\n\r\nWith Venus in <strong>Aries</strong>, spontaneity and independence are important to us. You’re not the only one who likes a challenge, so don\'t make it too easy for others to win you over ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you are already in a committed relationship, you get a wonderful chance to bring freshness and excitement to your bedroom and \"other parts of the house\" ;-) We also have more energy than usual; we are more likely to want to get out of the house, and be active with others.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, beauty and love will enter your life during this time, you will feel more attractive and you will attract things to you. As a </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i>, you will feel more energized, passionate and more direct than usual.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 7th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><strong><b><i>Scorpio</i></b></strong><strong> until 5:03pm EST</strong> (see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 3:55am EST</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 13 hours, <strong>until 5:03pm EST</strong>. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">Use this intuitive time</span> <span style=\"color: #993300;\">to connect with others on a deep emotional level, and explore greater truths about your ability to authentically connect with another.</span>\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday morning and afternoon ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon conjuncts Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 5:03pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i>, </b>where it will journey<i> <strong>until Saturday early morning</strong></i><b>. </b>We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things. This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Friday morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 8th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b></strong> (see Wednesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday around 11pm EST, </strong><i>Mercury enters a 3-week shadow phase</i><i>, as it reaches 4 degrees and 47 minutes of </i><b><i>Aries. </i></b>This precedes the retrograde phase, which will begin on March 22nd in almost 17 degrees of <b>Aries</b> (more on that in 3 weeks).\r\n\r\nSo what is the \"shadow phase\"? To explain this, I\'ll quickly cover what happens when a planet \"stations\" and then goes \"retrograde\".\r\n\r\nRelative to us on Earth, a planet sometimes looks like it is slowing down (\"stationing\"), then stopping. After being still for a while, it actually appears to go \"backward\" through the sky (this is the \"retrograde\" phase). It\'s a little like catching up to a car on the highway, driving exactly alongside it for a moment, then passing it and pulling ahead.\r\n\r\nAt first, retrograde movement is slow, but the planet gradually reaches its normal pace through the sky -- except it\'s going backward. The process then reverses itself: the backward pace slows, the planet crawls to a \"halt\", then it starts to move forward again (i.e. it goes direct). In our car analogy, it\'s like the car you just passed gradually speeds up and passes you again.\r\n\r\nThere are also two \"shadow\" phases -- during these, the planet travels over a part of the sky it will later \"revisit\". The first \"shadow\" comes before the planet moves backward; the second comes when the planet starts to catch back up (after going direct).\r\n\r\nIt\'s like you went hiking and left something behind at camp. If you went back to get it, you\'d have some catching up to do, and would see the same scenery twice or more.\r\n\r\nMercury\'s shadow phases usually last 2-3 weeks before and after the Retrograde phase.\r\n\r\nIf you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items -- especially connected to transportation (cars, airline tickets, etc.) or communication devices (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) -- be aware of the shadow periods as well as the retrograde phases. If possible, get these things done before Mercury enters it\'s shadow or wait until after the shadow phases are over -- that would be Sept. 19th in this case ;-)\r\n\r\nOf course, if there is something that <i>must</i> get done during these phases, don\'t put your whole life on hold, just because Mercury is retrograde or in it\'s shadow. Sometimes things line up exactly at the right time; as best as you can, trust that it\'s all \"perfect\" ;-)\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Thursday late evening, at 11:45pm EST, </strong><i>Jupiter comes to a halt </i>at 23 degrees of <strong>Scorpio</strong>,<b> </b>starting its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. The retrograde phases are inner processes -- they help us connect to a particular energy internally, and thus express it externally (once Jupiter goes direct again). Jupiter retrograde brings a chance to tap inner wisdom, optimism and sense of possibility, and an inner understanding of how the world works. This retrograde phase lasts <b>until July 10th.</b>\r\n\r\nDuring this time, we get to choose what we truly believe -- which beliefs serve us and which don\'t -- and we can more easily let go of limiting beliefs and experience new truths. While retrograde in <strong>Scorpio</strong>, <span style=\"color: #993300;\">Jupiter pointedly invites us to take a look at our intimate relationships, our attitudes around empowerment or disempowerment, and a deep authentic, emotional connection with ourselves and others. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">What do I believe about my intimate partnerships? About empowerment? Disempowerment? Deep authentic connections? Where am I making assumptions that do not serve me? What might be holding me back? </span>\r\n\r\nThe connection to inner wisdom is heightened. Ask yourself: What do I “just know”? If the answer is “I don’t know”, ask yourself “What if I did know? What mighty it be in that case?”\r\n\r\nFeel free to <span style=\"color: #993300;\">check out my 30-minute excerpt</span> from my webinar about the Jupiter and Mercury Station and Retrograde phases in March: <span style=\"color: #993300;\">https://…</span>\r\n\r\nAnd if you want to know how that will impact you personally, feel free to buy the whole 90+ min. webinar on the subject --  <span style=\"color: #993300;\">click here: http://</span> -- we talked about what to expect for the next 4 weeks, and how it all applies to our own birth charts ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> 12-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this retrograde phase.

However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to March 17th\'s New Moon in <strong>Pisces</strong>. We are thus best served by reviewing projects begun since the last New Moon in mid February (which was also a Solar Eclipse).\r\n\r\nWhat -- if anything -- needs adjustments? What did you discover since Feb. 15th? What did it mean for you? As best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-21 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Gemini</i></b><i>, <b>Pisces, </b>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s last Quarter Moon.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 9:27pm EST</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for almost 7.5 hours, <strong>until at 4:52am EST (Saturday early morning)</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self — explore, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday night <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">and Saturday early morning</span> ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon trines Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 10th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b></strong>and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><strong> until 4:52am EST </strong>(see Wednesday late afternoon and Friday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 4:52am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Monday morning (March 12th)</strong><b>. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 11th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</i><b><i> Capricorn </i>all day </b>(see Saturday early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning, </strong><em>a challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:00am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">next week</span> Tuesday (March 13th). </strong>This aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature. Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a direct, fast and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long something takes to manifest and get clear about the quality we want to produce , how long something is going to last in the world. What is actually so?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to the details, while remaining committed to the exploration of your true beliefs. What is life really about? What is <i>your</i> life about?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn,  Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Saturn rules Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning, </strong><em>a harmonious Mars/Uranus aspect </em>becomes exact at 7:23am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday on; it will remain strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">next week</span> Friday (March 16th). </strong>This aspect signals a time when our energy level is much higher than usual -- among other effects, we may find we can work for long hours without fatigue, or feel \"driven\", especially in new and unusual directions.\r\n\r\nIt could be that we receive backing from unusual sources. In general, our efforts are successful and we scale new heights of originality. As best as you can, stay open to new and unexpected things. Highly recommended: Group activities, group causes and connecting to like-minded people from all over the world.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or one or more personal planets) in the following: 23-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Aries,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Leo, </i></b><i>or </i><i>0 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler Aries; Uranus rules Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning, </strong><em>an opportune Sun/Pluto aspect </em>becomes exact at 7:56am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until Monday night. </strong>This is an opportunity to bring a sense of compassion and creativity to whatever needs restructuring or rebuilding in our lives.\r\n\r\nIt’s also an opportunity to notice how obsessed we’ve become about manifesting something real/authentic and soften our approach a little. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to make something of it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.

On Thursday, Mercury enters its shadow phase and Jupiter comes to a complete halt as it starts its 4-month retrograde phase.

If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it to examine your one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday morning ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 8:23am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday early evening</strong>.<b> </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 6th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b>(see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 2:34am EST</strong>, <i>Mercury changes signs from dreamy, creative</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>to enthusiastic, direct</i> <b><i>Aries. </i></b>It will journey through this courageous sign, for an unusually long time, <b>until </b><b>May 13th</b> (due to its 3-week retrograde phase that starts on March 22nd).<i> </i>During this time, our thinking speeds up, and we are eager for new endeavors.\r\n\r\nGiven that we want to achieve our goals as quickly as possible, we may come off impulsive and impatient, and must therefore speak (and get answers) faster. Nothing stands in our way now: we are ready, we are brave, we want what we want and we want it now ;-)\r\n\r\nAs you can perhaps imagine, we need to watch out for blurting things out prematurely or inappropriately; as best you can, choose your words carefully and pause before responding ;-)\r\n\r\nRemember, everyone else is feeling the Aries energy quite strongly too, so do your best to not take it personally if someone ignores what you want, or says something insensitive. Keep the focus on yourself instead -- and take responsibility for how you are communicating or expressing yourself.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel especially chatty for the next 9 weeks. Your mental energy will be quite active and you feel the need to connect to others -- whether it be in person, via email, over the phone or via social media. New ideas and new connections are very likely. </i>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel a tremendous energy burst for the next 9 weeks: really enthusiastic and physically strong.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:45pm EST, </strong><i>Venus changes signs from intuitive, creative, </i><i>dreamy </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> to fast-paced, enthusiastic, active </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>,</i><i> </i>where it will journey <strong>until March 31st. </strong>Until then, we are going to feel passionate about connecting to others. We are ready to make a new start: if you are single, this could be a great chance to start something new (all things being equal ;-)\r\n\r\nWith Venus in <strong>Aries</strong>, spontaneity and independence are important to us. You’re not the only one who likes a challenge, so don\'t make it too easy for others to win you over ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you are already in a committed relationship, you get a wonderful chance to bring freshness and excitement to your bedroom and \"other parts of the house\" ;-) We also have more energy than usual; we are more likely to want to get out of the house, and be active with others.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, beauty and love will enter your life during this time, you will feel more attractive and you will attract things to you. As a </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i>, you will feel more energized, passionate and more direct than usual.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 7th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><strong><b><i>Scorpio</i></b></strong><strong> until 5:03pm EST</strong> (see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 3:55am EST</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 13 hours, <strong>until 5:03pm EST</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with others on a deep emotional level, and explore greater truths about your ability to make those authentic connections.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday morning and afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 5:03pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i>, </b>where it will journey<i> <strong>until Saturday early morning</strong></i><b>. </b>We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things. This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Friday morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 8th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b></strong> (see Wednesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday around 11pm EST, </strong><i>Mercury enters a 3-week shadow phase</i><i>, as it reaches 4 degrees and 47 minutes of </i><b><i>Aries. </i></b>This precedes the retrograde phase, which will begin on March 22nd in almost 17 degrees of <b>Aries</b> (more on that in 3 weeks).\r\n\r\nSo what is the \"shadow phase\"? To explain this, I\'ll quickly cover what happens when a planet \"stations\" and then goes \"retrograde\".\r\n\r\nRelative to us on Earth, a planet sometimes looks like it is slowing down (\"stationing\"), then stopping. After being still for a while, it actually appears to go \"backward\" through the sky (this is the \"retrograde\" phase). It\'s a little like catching up to a car on the highway, driving exactly alongside it for a moment, then passing it and pulling ahead.\r\n\r\nAt first, retrograde movement is slow, but the planet gradually reaches its normal pace through the sky -- except it\'s going backward. The process then reverses itself: the backward pace slows, the planet crawls to a \"halt\", then it starts to move forward again (i.e. it goes direct). In our car analogy, it\'s like the car you just passed gradually speeds up and passes you again.\r\n\r\nThere are also two \"shadow\" phases -- during these, the planet travels over a part of the sky it will later \"revisit\". The first \"shadow\" comes before the planet moves backward; the second comes when the planet starts to catch back up (after going direct).\r\n\r\nIt\'s like you went hiking and left something behind at camp. If you went back to get it, you\'d have some catching up to do, and would see the same scenery twice or more.\r\n\r\nMercury\'s shadow phases usually last 2-3 weeks before and after the Retrograde phase.\r\n\r\nIf you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items -- especially connected to transportation (cars, airline tickets, etc.) or communication devices (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) -- be aware of the shadow periods as well as the retrograde phases. If possible, get these things done before Mercury enters it\'s shadow or wait until after the shadow phases are over -- that would be <strong>May 3rd</strong> in this case ;-)\r\n\r\nOf course, if there is something that <i>must</i> get done during these phases, don\'t put your whole life on hold, just because Mercury is retrograde or in it\'s shadow. Sometimes things line up exactly at the right time; as best as you can, trust that it\'s all \"perfect\" ;-)\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Thursday late evening, at 11:45pm EST, </strong><i>Jupiter comes to a halt </i>at 23 degrees of <strong>Scorpio</strong>,<b> </b>starting its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. The retrograde phases are inner processes -- they help us connect to a particular energy internally, and thus express it externally (once Jupiter goes direct again). Jupiter retrograde brings a chance to tap inner wisdom, optimism and sense of possibility, and an inner understanding of how the world works. This retrograde phase lasts <b>until July 10th.</b>\r\n\r\nDuring this time, we get to choose what we truly believe -- which beliefs serve us and which don\'t -- and we can more easily let go of limiting beliefs and experience new truths. While retrograde in <strong>Scorpio</strong> -- here are some coaching questions:\r\n\r\nWhat do I believe about my intimate partnerships? About empowerment? Disempowerment? Deep authentic connections? Where am I making assumptions that do not serve me? What might be holding me back?\r\n\r\nThe connection to inner wisdom is heightened. Ask yourself: What do I “just know”? If the answer is “I don’t know”, ask yourself “What if I did know? What mighty it be in that case?”\r\n\r\nFeel free to <a href=\"https://youtu.be/JtMJiPnnZWc\">check out my 30-minute excerpt</a> from my webinar about the Jupiter and Mercury Station and Retrograde phases in March: https://youtu.be/JtMJiPnnZWc\r\n\r\nAnd if you want to know how that will impact you personally, feel free to buy the whole 90+ min. webinar on the subject --  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a> -- we talked about what to expect for the next 4 weeks, and how it all applies to our own birth charts ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> 12-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this retrograde phase. This is also true for those of us who have our</i><i> Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter rules Sagittarius, so Sagittarius will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (March 9th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b> </strong>(see Wednesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 6:20am EST, </strong><i>the last Quarter Moon in almost 19 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b> will be exact.<b> </b>The Moon in adventurous, truth-seeking <b>Sagittarius</b> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in sensitive, dreamy, compassionate<b> Pisces. </b>This may bring up some challenges. However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to March 17th\'s New Moon in <strong>Pisces</strong>. We are thus best served by reviewing projects begun since the last New Moon in mid February (which was also a Solar Eclipse).\r\n\r\nWhat -- if anything -- needs adjustments? What did you discover since Feb. 15th? What did it mean for you? As best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-21 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Gemini</i></b><i>, <b>Pisces, </b>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s last Quarter Moon.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 9:27pm EST</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for almost 7.5 hours, <strong>until at 4:52am EST (Saturday early morning)</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self — explore, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday night and Saturday early morning ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 10th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b></strong>and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><strong> until 4:52am EST </strong>(see Wednesday late afternoon and Friday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 4:52am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Monday morning (March 12th)</strong><b>. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 11th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</i><b><i> Capricorn </i>all day </b>(see Saturday early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning, </strong><em>a challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:00am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (March 13th). </strong>This aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature. Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce. Ask yourself: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to the details, while remaining committed to the exploration of your true beliefs. What is life really about? What is <i>your</i> life about?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn,  Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

In general, our efforts are successful and we scale new heights of originality. As best as you can, stay open to new and unexpected things. Highly recommended: Group activities, group causes and connecting to like-minded people from all over the world.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or one or more personal planets) in the following: 23-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Aries,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Leo, </i></b><i>or </i><i>0 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>?

Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 6th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b>(see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 2:34am EST</strong>, <i>Mercury changes signs from dreamy, creative</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>to enthusiastic, direct</i> <b><i>Aries. </i></b>It will journey through this courageous sign, for an unusually long time, <b>until </b><b>May 13th</b> (due to its 3-week retrograde phase that starts on March 22nd).<i> </i>During this time, our thinking speeds up, and we are eager for new endeavors.\r\n\r\nGiven that we want to achieve our goals as quickly as possible, we may come off impulsive and impatient, and must therefore speak (and get answers) faster. Nothing stands in our way now: we are ready, we are brave, we want what we want and we want it now ;-)\r\n\r\nAs you can perhaps imagine, we need to watch out for blurting things out prematurely or inappropriately; as best you can, choose your words carefully and pause before responding ;-)\r\n\r\nRemember, everyone else is feeling the Aries energy quite strongly too, so do your best to not take it personally if someone ignores what you want, or says something insensitive. Keep the focus on yourself instead -- and take responsibility for how you are communicating or expressing yourself.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel especially chatty for the next 9 weeks. Your mental energy will be quite active and you feel the need to connect to others -- whether it be in person, via email, over the phone or via social media. New ideas and new connections are very likely. </i>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel a tremendous energy burst for the next 9 weeks: really enthusiastic and physically strong.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:45pm EST, </strong><i>Venus changes signs from intuitive, creative, </i><i>dreamy </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> to fast-paced, enthusiastic, active </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>,</i><i> </i>where it will journey <strong>until March 31st. </strong>Until then, we are going to feel passionate about connecting to others. We are ready to make a new start: if you are single, this could be a great chance to start something new (all things being equal ;-)\r\n\r\nWith Venus in <strong>Aries</strong>, spontaneity and independence are important to us. You’re not the only one who likes a challenge, so don\'t make it too easy for others to win you over ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you are already in a committed relationship, you get a wonderful chance to bring freshness and excitement to your bedroom and \"other parts of the house\" ;-) We also have more energy than usual; we are more likely to want to get out of the house, and be active with others.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, beauty and love will enter your life during this time, you will feel more attractive and you will attract things to you.

This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Friday morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 8th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b></strong> (see Wednesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday around 11pm EST, </strong><i>Mercury enters a 3-week shadow phase</i><i>, as it reaches 4 degrees and 47 minutes of </i><b><i>Aries. </i></b>This precedes the retrograde phase, which will begin on March 22nd in almost 17 degrees of <b>Aries</b> (more on that in 3 weeks).\r\n\r\nSo what is the \"shadow phase\"? To explain this, I\'ll quickly cover what happens when a planet \"stations\" and then goes \"retrograde\".\r\n\r\nRelative to us on Earth, a planet sometimes looks like it is slowing down (\"stationing\"), then stopping. After being still for a while, it actually appears to go \"backward\" through the sky (this is the \"retrograde\" phase). It\'s a little like catching up to a car on the highway, driving exactly alongside it for a moment, then passing it and pulling ahead.\r\n\r\nAt first, retrograde movement is slow, but the planet gradually reaches its normal pace through the sky -- except it\'s going backward. The process then reverses itself: the backward pace slows, the planet crawls to a \"halt\", then it starts to move forward again (i.e. it goes direct). In our car analogy, it\'s like the car you just passed gradually speeds up and passes you again.\r\n\r\nThere are also two \"shadow\" phases -- during these, the planet travels over a part of the sky it will later \"revisit\". The first \"shadow\" comes before the planet moves backward; the second comes when the planet starts to catch back up (after going direct).\r\n\r\nIt\'s like you went hiking and left something behind at camp. If you went back to get it, you\'d have some catching up to do, and would see the same scenery twice or more.\r\n\r\nMercury\'s shadow phases usually last 2-3 weeks before and after the Retrograde phase.\r\n\r\nIf you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items -- especially connected to transportation (cars, airline tickets, etc.) or communication devices (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) -- be aware of the shadow periods as well as the retrograde phases. If possible, get these things done before Mercury enters it\'s shadow or wait until after the shadow phases are over -- that would be Sept. 19th in this case ;-)\r\n\r\nOf course, if there is something that <i>must</i> get done during these phases, don\'t put your whole life on hold, just because Mercury is retrograde or in it\'s shadow. Sometimes things line up exactly at the right time; as best as you can, trust that it\'s all \"perfect\" ;-)\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Thursday late evening, at 11:45pm EST, </strong><i>Jupiter comes to a halt </i>at 23 degrees of <strong>Scorpio</strong>,<b> </b>starting its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. The retrograde phases are inner processes -- they help us connect to a particular energy internally, and thus express it externally (once Jupiter goes direct again). Jupiter retrograde brings a chance to tap inner wisdom, optimism and sense of possibility, and an inner understanding of how the world works. This retrograde phase lasts <b>until July 10th.</b>\r\n\r\nDuring this time, we get to choose what we truly believe -- which beliefs serve us and which don\'t -- and we can more easily let go of limiting beliefs and experience new truths. While retrograde in <strong>Scorpio</strong>, <span style=\"color: #993300;\">Jupiter pointedly invites us to take a look at our intimate relationships, our attitudes around empowerment or disempowerment, and a deep authentic, emotional connection with ourselves and others. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">What do I believe about my intimate partnerships? About empowerment? Disempowerment? Deep authentic connections? Where am I making assumptions that do not serve me? What might be holding me back? </span>\r\n\r\nThe connection to inner wisdom is heightened. Ask yourself: What do I “just know”? If the answer is “I don’t know”, ask yourself “What if I did know? What mighty it be in that case?”\r\n\r\nFeel free to <span style=\"color: #993300;\">check out my 30-minute excerpt</span> from my webinar about the Jupiter and Mercury Station and Retrograde phases in March: <span style=\"color: #993300;\">https://…</span>\r\n\r\nAnd if you want to know how that will impact you personally, feel free to buy the whole 90+ min. webinar on the subject --  <span style=\"color: #993300;\">click here: http://</span> -- we talked about what to expect for the next 4 weeks, and how it all applies to our own birth charts ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> 12-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this retrograde phase. This is also true for those of us who have our</i><i> Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter rules Sagittarius, so Sagittarius will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (March 9th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b> </strong>(see Wednesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 6:20am EST, </strong><i>the last Quarter Moon in almost 19 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b> will be exact.<b> </b>The Moon in adventurous, truth-seeking <b>Sagittarius</b> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in sensitive, dreamy, compassionate<b> Pisces. </b>This may bring up some challenges. However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to March 17th\'s New Moon in <strong>Pisces</strong>. We are thus best served by reviewing projects begun since the last New Moon in mid February (which was also a Solar Eclipse).\r\n\r\nWhat -- if anything -- needs adjustments? What did you discover since Feb. 15th? What did it mean for you? As best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-21 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Gemini</i></b><i>, <b>Pisces, </b>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s last Quarter Moon.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 9:27pm EST</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for almost 7.5 hours, <strong>until at 4:52am EST (Saturday early morning)</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self — explore, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday night <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">and Saturday early morning</span> ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon trines Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 10th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b></strong>and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><strong> until 4:52am EST </strong>(see Wednesday late afternoon and Friday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 4:52am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Monday morning (March 12th)</strong><b>. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 11th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</i><b><i> Capricorn </i>all day </b>(see Saturday early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning, </strong><em>a challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:00am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">next week</span> Tuesday (March 13th). </strong>This aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature. Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">On the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a direct, fast and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long something takes to manifest and slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce. Ask yourself: How long is what I am building long-term going to last? What are the consequences when I am trying to rush or skip over some steps? </span>\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to the details, while remaining committed to the exploration of your true beliefs. What is life really about? What is <i>your</i> life about?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn,  Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

In general, our efforts are successful and we scale new heights of originality. As best as you can, stay open to new and unexpected things.

Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to make something of it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Taurus</i></b><i>?

You may also want to plan Monday morning ahead of time :-)  <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 8:23am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday early evening</strong>.<b> </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 6th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b>(see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 2:34am EST</strong>, <i>Mercury changes signs from dreamy, creative</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>to enthusiastic, direct</i> <b><i>Aries. </i></b>It will journey through this courageous sign, for an unusually long time, <b>until </b><b>May 13th</b> (due to its 3-week retrograde phase that starts on March 22nd).<i> </i>During this time, our thinking speeds up, and we are eager for new endeavors.\r\n\r\nGiven that we want to achieve our goals as quickly as possible, we may come off impulsive and impatient, and must therefore speak (and get answers) faster. Nothing stands in our way now: we are ready, we are brave, we want what we want and we want it now ;-)\r\n\r\nAs you can perhaps imagine, we need to watch out for blurting things out prematurely or inappropriately; as best you can, choose your words carefully and pause before responding ;-)\r\n\r\nRemember, everyone else is feeling the Aries energy quite strongly too, so do your best to not take it personally if someone ignores what you want, or says something insensitive. Keep the focus on yourself instead -- and take responsibility for how you are communicating or expressing yourself.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel especially chatty for the next 9 weeks. Your mental energy will be quite active and you feel the need to connect to others -- whether it be in person, via email, over the phone or via social media. New ideas and new connections are very likely. </i>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel a tremendous energy burst for the next 9 weeks: really enthusiastic and physically strong.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:45pm EST, </strong><i>Venus changes signs from intuitive, creative, </i><i>dreamy </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> to fast-paced, enthusiastic, active </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>,</i><i> </i>where it will journey <strong>until March 31st. </strong>Until then, we are going to feel passionate about connecting to others. We are ready to make a new start: if you are single, this could be a great chance to start something new (all things being equal ;-)\r\n\r\nWith Venus in <strong>Aries</strong>, spontaneity and independence are important to us. You’re not the only one who likes a challenge, so don\'t make it too easy for others to win you over ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you are already in a committed relationship, you get a wonderful chance to bring freshness and excitement to your bedroom and \"other parts of the house\" ;-) We also have more energy than usual; we are more likely to want to get out of the house, and be active with others.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, beauty and love will enter your life during this time, you will feel more attractive and you will attract things to you. As a </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i>, you will feel more energized, passionate and more direct than usual.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 7th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><strong><b><i>Scorpio</i></b></strong><strong> until 5:03pm EST</strong> (see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 3:55am EST</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 13 hours, <strong>until 5:03pm EST</strong>. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">Use this intuitive time</span> <span style=\"color: #993300;\">to connect with others on a deep emotional level, and explore greater truths about your ability to authentically connect with another.</span>\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday morning and afternoon ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon conjuncts Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 5:03pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i>, </b>where it will journey<i> <strong>until Saturday early morning</strong></i><b>. </b>We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things. This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Friday morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 8th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b></strong> (see Wednesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday around 11pm EST, </strong><i>Mercury enters a 3-week shadow phase</i><i>, as it reaches 4 degrees and 47 minutes of </i><b><i>Aries. </i></b>This precedes the retrograde phase, which will begin on March 22nd in almost 17 degrees of <b>Aries</b> (more on that in 3 weeks).\r\n\r\nSo what is the \"shadow phase\"? To explain this, I\'ll quickly cover what happens when a planet \"stations\" and then goes \"retrograde\".\r\n\r\nRelative to us on Earth, a planet sometimes looks like it is slowing down (\"stationing\"), then stopping. After being still for a while, it actually appears to go \"backward\" through the sky (this is the \"retrograde\" phase). It\'s a little like catching up to a car on the highway, driving exactly alongside it for a moment, then passing it and pulling ahead.\r\n\r\nAt first, retrograde movement is slow, but the planet gradually reaches its normal pace through the sky -- except it\'s going backward. The process then reverses itself: the backward pace slows, the planet crawls to a \"halt\", then it starts to move forward again (i.e. it goes direct). In our car analogy, it\'s like the car you just passed gradually speeds up and passes you again.\r\n\r\nThere are also two \"shadow\" phases -- during these, the planet travels over a part of the sky it will later \"revisit\". The first \"shadow\" comes before the planet moves backward; the second comes when the planet starts to catch back up (after going direct).\r\n\r\nIt\'s like you went hiking and left something behind at camp. If you went back to get it, you\'d have some catching up to do, and would see the same scenery twice or more.\r\n\r\nMercury\'s shadow phases usually last 2-3 weeks before and after the Retrograde phase.\r\n\r\nIf you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items -- especially connected to transportation (cars, airline tickets, etc.) or communication devices (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) -- be aware of the shadow periods as well as the retrograde phases. If possible, get these things done before Mercury enters it\'s shadow or wait until after the shadow phases are over -- that would be <strong>May 3rd</strong> in this case ;-)\r\n\r\nOf course, if there is something that <i>must</i> get done during these phases, don\'t put your whole life on hold, just because Mercury is retrograde or in it\'s shadow. Sometimes things line up exactly at the right time; as best as you can, trust that it\'s all \"perfect\" ;-)\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Thursday late evening, at 11:45pm EST, </strong><i>Jupiter comes to a halt </i>at 23 degrees of <strong>Scorpio</strong>,<b> </b>starting its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. The retrograde phases are inner processes -- they help us connect to a particular energy internally, and thus express it externally (once Jupiter goes direct again). Jupiter retrograde brings a chance to tap inner wisdom, optimism and sense of possibility, and an inner understanding of how the world works. This retrograde phase lasts <b>until July 10th.</b>\r\n\r\nDuring this time, we get to choose what we truly believe -- which beliefs serve us and which don\'t -- and we can more easily let go of limiting beliefs and experience new truths. While retrograde in <strong>Scorpio</strong>, <span style=\"color: #993300;\">Jupiter pointedly invites us to take a look at our intimate relationships, our attitudes around empowerment or disempowerment, and a deep authentic, emotional connection with ourselves and others. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">What do I believe about my intimate partnerships? About empowerment? Disempowerment? Deep authentic connections? Where am I making assumptions that do not serve me? What might be holding me back? </span>\r\n\r\nThe connection to inner wisdom is heightened. Ask yourself: What do I “just know”? If the answer is “I don’t know”, ask yourself “What if I did know? What mighty it be in that case?”\r\n\r\nFeel free to <a href=\"https://youtu.be/JtMJiPnnZWc\">check out my 30-minute excerpt</a> from my webinar about the Jupiter and Mercury Station and Retrograde phases in March: https://youtu.be/JtMJiPnnZWc\r\n\r\nAnd if you want to know how that will impact you personally, feel free to buy the whole 90+ min. webinar on the subject --  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a><span style=\"color: #993300;\"> </span>-- we talked about what to expect for the next 4 weeks, and how it all applies to our own birth charts ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> 12-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this retrograde phase. This is also true for those of us who have our</i><i> Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter rules Sagittarius, so Sagittarius will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (March 9th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b> </strong>(see Wednesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 6:20am EST, </strong><i>the last Quarter Moon in almost 19 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b> will be exact.<b> </b>The Moon in adventurous, truth-seeking <b>Sagittarius</b> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in sensitive, dreamy, compassionate<b> Pisces. </b>This may bring up some challenges. However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to March 17th\'s New Moon in <strong>Pisces</strong>. We are thus best served by reviewing projects begun since the last New Moon in mid February (which was also a Solar Eclipse).\r\n\r\nWhat -- if anything -- needs adjustments? What did you discover since Feb. 15th? What did it mean for you? As best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-21 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Gemini</i></b><i>, <b>Pisces, </b>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s last Quarter Moon.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 9:27pm EST</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for almost 7.5 hours, <strong>until at 4:52am EST (Saturday early morning)</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self — explore, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday night <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">and Saturday early morning</span> ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon trines Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 10th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b></strong>and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><strong> until 4:52am EST </strong>(see Wednesday late afternoon and Friday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 4:52am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Monday morning (March 12th)</strong><b>. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 11th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</i><b><i> Capricorn </i>all day </b>(see Saturday early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning, </strong><em>a challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:00am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">next week</span> Tuesday (March 13th). </strong>This aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature. Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">On the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a direct, fast and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long something takes to manifest and slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce. Ask yourself: How long is what I am building long-term going to last? What are the consequences when I am trying to rush or skip over some steps? </span>\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to the details, while remaining committed to the exploration of your true beliefs. What is life really about? What is <i>your</i> life about?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn,  Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Saturn rules Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\nStarting tomorrow (<strong>Sunday, March 11th</strong>), my Weekly Forecast and Full Moon videos are only going to be available to my new online community. <b>For a limited time only,</b> you can continue receiving all of the wonderful forecasts uninterrupted, for the price of a Cappuccino!

In general, our efforts are successful and we scale new heights of originality. As best as you can, stay open to new and unexpected things. Highly recommended: Group activities, group causes and connecting to like-minded people from all over the world.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or one or more personal planets) in the following: 23-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Aries,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Leo, </i></b><i>or </i><i>0 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler Aries; Uranus rules Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Sunday morning, </strong><em>an opportune Sun/Pluto aspect </em>becomes exact at 7:56am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until Monday night. </strong>This is an opportunity to bring a sense of compassion and creativity to whatever needs restructuring or rebuilding in our lives.\r\n\r\nIt’s also an opportunity to notice how obsessed we’ve become about manifesting something real/authentic and soften our approach a little. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to make something of it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Taurus</i></b><i>?

Mercury follows suit, beginning its own Station phase on Tuesday, that in turn intensifies on Friday (it will come to a complete halt -- ending it\'s retrograde phase -- on Sunday morning).\r\n\r\nIn other news, the Balsamic Moon phase becomes exact on Thursday evening, and the New Moon in Aries becomes exact on Sunday, late in the evening.\r\n\r\nAnd of course, the week wouldn\'t be complete without some <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases -- though there are only two this week: the first on Wednesday, late in the morning (it lasts for almost 4 hours) and a longer one that starts Friday morning and runs for almost 16 hours.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (April 9th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><strong>Capricorn</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 2:50am EDT. </strong><strong>At that point</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <b><strong>until Wednesday afternoon</strong>. </b>The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement.

We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius.

Saturn also represents our structures, responsibilities, commitments and ability to \"do\" life, on life\'s terms.\r\n\r\nAs spirit beings in a physical world, it\'s best to observe the laws of the physical world. The sooner we learn to \"play by the rules\", the easier life gets. Saturn also represents time and the \"domain\" of time: growing up, maturing, understanding our limitations, setting healthy boundaries with others, living with integrity, being authentic and truthful, being serious and focused on building something of value to society.\r\n\r\nSaturn is our teacher. If you had a cosmic teacher, what would your personal \"earth class\" be in, right now? Where are you being asked to look at your long-term goals and ambitons and became more mature? What calls for a commitment towards building a solid foundation? What will time do?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during the time of the station, bring flexibility and open-mindedness to any frustrations. The station-phase will last <b>until April 24th</b> -- and Saturn will start its 5-month retrograde phase, next week Tuesday, on April 17th…\r\n\r\nFeel free to watch our mp4 video presentation about April\'s Saturn and Pluto Station and Retrograde phases in relationship to our own Birth charts...To purchase this webinar, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">click here. </a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Special Offer:</strong> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-) <b>Please note</b> <strong>that we will be talking about Chiron moving into Aries and Uranus moving into Taurus, in our next Forum.</strong> Major shifts ahead!\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in </i><b><i>7-11 degrees of  Capricorn, Cancer, Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this station. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>, since Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (April 10th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <strong>all day</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday night/</strong>Wednesday very early morning, <em>a challenging Sun/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:54am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening (April 7th) on; it will remain strong until this Friday night (April 13th)</strong>. What we identify ourselves with could now be challenged. This aspect forces us to confront our will, power, assertion, and authority.\r\n\r\nComing into focus now: the relationship with a father- or other important male-figures. We may face the need to be more independent, assertive, and autonomous.\r\n\r\nWe may alienate others with a controlling, jealous, or overbearing manner. This manner stems from a deep fear of letting go and surrendering to the idea that some things cannot be directed or controlled. We are learning to detach from (let go of) something or someone that no longer serves us -- the \"something\" could include attitudes.\r\n\r\nThis fear may lead us to compulsive, suspicious, or difficult behavior, costing us the very thing that we hold dear. As best as you can, open yourself up to the power of love within. When you do, you will discover your own strength, and rework your very identity. Perhaps most importantly, this aspect puts us face to face with <i>exactly</i> what\'s been holding us back from leading a fuller, more meaningful life.\r\n\r\nWe may have to make some changes or adjustments between our immediate personal desires and our long-term goals. As best as you can, be open to receiving feedback from others during this time.\r\n\r\nIf you feel pressured into doing something or you feel a power struggle build, as best as you can, get centered, get grounded and open your heart and mind. This aspect is a major growth opportunity for us: we struggle with buried elements of our personality and ego, learning to face, accept and transform them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra,  </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (the Sun is the ruler of Leo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso <strong>on Tuesday</strong>, <i>Mercury starts to slow down again (“stationing”).</i><i> </i>It’s getting ready to come to a halt, ending its 3.5-week retrograde phase, on Sunday, April 15th (more on that later this week…). For the next 10 days (<strong>until April 20th</strong><b>)</b>, we need to be patient with ourselves and others -- especially if there is a connection with communication or transportation, and their associated technologies. This is not the best time to start anything brand-new, especially if it contains new information that needs to be processed.\r\n\r\nWe might experience delays or misunderstandings, and things tend to feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time to get ready for travel somewhere -- especially if you intend to use public transportation or drive (For more details on Mercury Shadow Phases and Retrogrades, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">click here</a>)\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets (or angles) <em>in 4-6 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong>, <b>Libra</b>, </em></i><b><i>Capricorn, </i></b><i>or</i><i> </i><b><i>Cancer.</i></b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (April 11th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <strong>until 2:40pm EDT</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:03am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Friday evening (April 6th) on; it will remain strong until this Sunday.</strong> We tend to feel passionate, super-creative, and just plain energized at this time -- we have tons of vitality and warmth.\r\n\r\nThis helps us bring people together for mutual pleasure and benefit; there is also a feeling of flow around creativity and manifesting something real... If you knew it would be easy, what would you pick to create?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of <b>Taurus,</b></i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?</i><i> If so, you may feel more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars rules Aries) </i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday morning</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Sun/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 8:15am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday night on; it will remain strong until Wednesday night/Thursday very early </strong><b>morning</b>. This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed if we’re to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\nThis aspect brings us to a fork in the road: One path takes us toward personal goals and helps us inspire others by being direct and enthusiastic. The other leads to greater understanding of intimacy, and of how we share our resources with others.\r\n\r\nThere\'s not necessarily a \"correct path\", as both can lead to a deeper exploration of the themes in question. Whichever one you decide to walk, go deeper rather than faster -- empower yourself and others by connecting in an authentic way, being honest about your motivations.\r\n\r\nOne more thing: as best as you can, carefully evaluate any projects before getting involved -- awareness is key with this aspect. Ask yourself: What is needed? How can we serve the broader view?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 22-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules of Leo; Jupiter rules Sagittarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 10:55am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 4 hours, <strong>until 2:40pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday late morning and early afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 2:40pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces, </i></b>where it will journey <strong>until Friday late evening</strong>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (April 12th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <strong>all day</strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:26pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday night</strong>. This is an opportunity for compassion and kindness in our social interactions. We are more attuned to the subtleties of human interaction, and are more inclined to naturally cooperate with others. We tend to \"feel\" each other on an energetic level now; a sensitive approach is recommended.\r\n\r\nWe also have an opportunity to connect to our values and gifts from intuition, and use our imagination to attract what we want: When you daydream, what would you like to experience? How would it feel?\r\n\r\nRemember: opportunities are openings; they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 13-17 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune rules Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday evening,</strong> <em>the Balsamic Moon phase begins</em> -- when the Moon reaches 11 degrees of <strong>Pisces.</strong><i> </i>This lasts <b>until Sunday late evening</b>, when the New Moon in <b>Aries </b>becomes exact (for those of you who are impatiently waiting for my New Moon video, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here</a>). We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our intuition.\r\n\r\nFor some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes. This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (April 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <strong>until 11:25pm EDT</strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 7:27am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 16 hours, <strong>until 11:25pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to explore any beliefs connected to past experiences that left you feeling disempowered: How could a compassionate approach to the past allow for a new perspective?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday all day and evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 11:25pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries,</i></b> where it will journey <strong>until Monday very early morning (April 16th)</strong>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<b> </b>\r\n\r\nAlso<strong> on Friday, </strong><em>Mercury Station intensifies in almost 5 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> -- as Mercury is preparing to come to halt on Sunday (ending its 3.5-week retrograde phase). During the station phase, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments once Mercury is moving direct again (to be more precise, during the shadow phase that follows).\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned on Tuesday already,<strong> for the next 6 days</strong>, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait <strong>until after May 3rd</strong>, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 3-6 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (April 14th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b>Aries</b></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Friday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday early morning</strong>, <em>a long-term, opportune Jupiter/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:58am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday (March 19th) on; it will remain strong until Tuesday (May 1st)</strong>. This is second time this year we will experience this aspect -- think back to January, when it last occurred: In what ways were you able to deepen your relationships, business and personal alike?\r\n\r\nA positive attitude and deeper trust in our connections with others gives us the chance to build something meaningful and share our passions. We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support professional or personal goals.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Where could I really dig in to solve a problem? How might passion help deliver on my long-term goals? How could other people\'s resources support my ability to create transformation? How might they help me stand in my power?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>Saturday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Mars/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:27pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until</strong></span> <strong>next week</strong><strong>, </strong><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>Wednesday evening (April 18th)</strong>. </span>This gives us the opportunity to take actions that are in alignment with our dreams and ideals. This is also an opportunity for boundaries to dissolve -- to open and relax.\r\n\r\nCreative or spiritual activities might be a good fit with this planetary connection. We may feel the need to daydream or inspire others. What might it mean, to take \"inspired action\"? What might show up in the world? What if you allowed the Universe to co-create with you?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <span style=\"color: #808080;\">13-17 degrees</span> of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Pisces,  Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>?

This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Neptune rules Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Saturday</strong>, <em>Saturn Station intensifies in 9 degrees of <strong>Capricorn.</strong></em> As I mentioned on Monday already, <i>\"Stationing\" is when a planet </i>moves more slowly through the sky. When a planet stations, its energy becomes more \"exalted\"; in the case of Saturn, this means we all feel the need to more fully face what is currently so, our actual reality.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Where am I being asked to look at my long-term goals and ambitons and became more mature? What calls for a commitment towards building a solid foundation? What will time do?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during the time of the station, bring flexibility and open-mindedness to any frustrations. The station-phase will feel most intense until <b>until April 20th, </b>but altogether, it will run <b>until April 24th</b> -- and Saturn will start its 5-month retrograde phase, next week Tuesday (<b>on April 17th)</b>… more on that next week ;-)\r\n\r\nFeel free to watch our mp4 video presentation about April\'s Saturn and Pluto Station and Retrograde phases in relationship to our own Birth charts...To purchase this webinar, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">click here. </a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Special Offer:</strong> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-) <b>Please note</b> <strong>that we will be talking about Chiron moving into Aries and Uranus moving into Taurus, in our next Forum.</strong> Major shifts ahead!\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 7-11 degrees of </i><b><i> Capricorn, Cancer, Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>?

What did you learn about your inner dialog over the past 3 weeks? How can you share your newly found inner understanding in a healthy way with the world? What needs to be addressed regarding your personal goals and desires? With a direct and passionate way of approaching communications? With any new-found understanding of your own thinking structures?\r\n\r\nWhen Mercury gets back to its regular speed (<b>by April 20th</b>), communication and transportation will get back to normal; the same is true of any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets (or angles) in 3-6 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Libra.</i></b>\r\n\r\nAs you may recall, I mentioned <i>Mercury shadow phases</i> on Tuesday: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it\'s best to avoid the periods shortly before and after Mercury goes retrograde. This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) This particular <b>shadow phase ends on May 3rd</b>. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">Click here to read my blog on the subject</a>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening, at 9:57pm EDT:</strong> the <em>Moon aligns with the Sun in 26 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em>. This is the beginning of a new Moon cycle; anything brand-new started in the next two weeks has the chance to get off to a great start. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">Also feel free to watch my New Moon video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\nThe <i>New Moon in fast-paced, enthusiastic, courageous </i><b><i>Aries</i></b>, asks us to connect to our personal goals and to get very clear on what we want to create for the next 28 days. This is an action-packed energy, with the focus on ourselves -- we tend to do first and think later -- we have a tremendous amount of energy and want to sprint.\r\n\r\nAries is the first sign of the zodiac, and thus represents new beginnings, initiation, breaking new ground and birthing new forms. An <em>Aries New Moon</em> is thus an especially fertile time for seeding new projects and directions.\r\n\r\nWe generally don\'t know what will happen when we start something brand-new -- something we have never done before -- and this can bring up insecurities or nervousness, sometimes maybe even plain fear or even panic.\r\n\r\nAries and its ruling planet Mars correspond with the quest to develop courage -- not fearlessness, but the conscious choice to act in spite of fear. Some call this the \"Warrior Energy\".\r\n\r\nOne of the many ways we can demonstrate courage is to allow ourselves to be in a state of \"not knowing\" or \"beginners mind\". At these times, we are more present, and sometimes a state of heightened creative potential arises. <b>Ask yourself: </b>What might come forth if I suspended my opinions, beliefs, judgments and concepts, just for a moment, here and there? Could I be brave enough to take a rest from needing to know, just for right now?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars is the ruler of Aries; it\'s currently in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, sextiling Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>.</i> This aspect asks us to create a solid relationship with our long-term ambitions, while allowing for our inner divinity (Source/God) to guide us toward what feels intuitively right to us, so we can go after it, and manifest it.\r\n\r\nIt also bears a cosmic message about relating to our long-term goals in a loving, kind manner -- softening our approach perhaps, releasing rigid \"shoulds\" and any obligations not aligned with our highest calling.\r\n\r\nIn the same spirit, we are also asked to slow down and focus on quality over quantity, sustainability over novelty, ease over force. <b>Questions you can ask yourself here:</b> What structures might support my emotional/intuitive well-being? What actions would connect my ambitious self to my \"soul-self\"?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars also aligns with Pluto and Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>. This combo brings our long-term business dealings into deep and sharp focus, especially when it comes to manifesting something real (tangible, sustainable, meaningful, etc.)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nFurther, anything dysfunctional within our businesses, governments or long-term goals invites investigation. We are being asked to eliminate or transform anything no longer aligned with our Soul’s passions. This is for our highest good -- individually and collectively.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I felt fully empowered from within and felt absolutely passionate about life, what would I go about “building”? What would be truly meaningful to my Soul in the long run?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon aligns with Uranus in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> -- </i><i>and this is also part of a square with Pluto and Mars in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>. This underlines the message that we are ready to take the next big step on our path. Uranus symbolizes the desire for freedom, equality, and (most of all) progress.\r\n\r\nIt takes courage to leave familiar territory.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span><b>Ask yourself:</b> What is the next step on my journey toward becoming an ever-stronger, healthy individual, one who knows themselves, and is not afraid to go after their personal goals and desires? What if it were possible to accomplish that whilst staying focused on my long-term achievements?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> What might that look like?</span>\r\n\r\n<i>This alignment between Uranus and the New Moon</i> asks us to break away from anything keeping us from stepping up our game -- whatever keeps us in a rut.\r\n\r\nShifts are happening everywhere. It\'s time to develop some courage and awareness. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Where do I want to step up? Where do I want to break out? If I made a big leap, where would I most like to land? Could I surprise myself once a day, for the next 28 days?\r\n\r\n<i>Pluto is also stationing -- </i>and thus exalted -- bringing extra intensity to this process. Pluto shows us where we give our power away to others and where we abuse it ourselves. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What structures no longer empower me? What am I most aware of right now? If I\'m honest, what will almost inevitably break down over the long haul, simply because it is no longer sustainable?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury has been retrograde for the past three weeks, </i>guiding us to reevaluate our thinking about personal goals and how we want to move things forward. Mercury\'s retrograde directed us to deal with unfinished business around past or present dealings, <i>to acknowledge what we learned, be thankful for the growth we experienced, and move forward.</i>\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> is all about “Beginner’s Mind” -- open, eager, willing to be surprised. The fewer preconceptions we have, the more possibilities we see, the path widens as we walk it. This placement also reminds us that communication starts within our own minds -- our inner dialog is the seed for all outer communication.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury will be moving direct on the day of the New Moon</i>, giving the green light to anything that was in a holding pattern for the past 3-6 weeks. That said, anything developed from scratch (or that first came to light) during the retrograde phase is best left on \"pause\", until the shadow phase ends on May 3rd.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe are also cautioned not to be hasty, as <i>Mercury still squares Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>; the message here is \"take it steady\". <b>Ask yourself:</b> What benefits might I reap from taking it one step at a time? From not rushing things?\r\n\r\nWe\'ll be dealing with a lot of Stations this month: Mercury, Saturn, Pluto. Keep in mind that these station phases create awareness. When preparing to go retrograde, they in turn prepare us to gain inner clarity and connect to the energies from within (i.e., more intuitively). In this case, that would apply to Saturn and Pluto.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, when going direct, after a retrograde phase, a station prepares us to move forward (in this instance, that applies to Mercury).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>On April 17th,</strong> <em>Saturn goes into its yearly retrograde, this time at 9º <strong>Capricorn.</strong></em> It will turn direct on Sept. 6th at 2.5º, and get back to that starting point of 9º Capricorn on December 12th.\r\n\r\nSaturn in Capricorn exposes the consequences of our long-term ambitions.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>Saturn always calls us to become our own authority, our own judge of what is right, true, and useful long-term. This can be very different from what society, other authority figures, or our country tells us.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWhile I\'m on the subject: the Saturn and Pluto Retrogrades were covered in considerable detail in the last Monthly Forecasting Forum -- and if you want to know how this planetary movement might impact you personally, feel free to purchase the video of the last webinar -- we applied the Pluto and Saturn Retrograde phases to our own birth charts! <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">Click here for more info or to purchase the recording</a>\r\n\r\nThere is also a <b>Special</b> <strong>Offer</strong> linked to that recording<b>:</b> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for the next Forum</a> <b>by April 17th</b>, I will include that Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar for FREE ;-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<em>During the upcoming Retrograde phases,</em> it may be advisable for us to keep the focus more on ourselves, and check in frequently with our inner compass. We also get a chance to see what works (and what doesn\'t) in certain areas of our lives; we can take stock, and look to see what needs a do-over (or at least a reassessment).\r\n\r\nLast but not least, we have <i>Chiron in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> -- this is the last degree of the sign and the aspect is  therefore exalted. We are approaching the end of 7 years of Chiron in Pisces!\r\n\r\nThink back over those last 7 years and <strong>ask yourself:</strong> What have I learned about my relationship to my higher Self/intuition? What have I learned about the emotional body? About the energetic body? What do I know about my inner healing process that I didn\'t know before 2011?\r\n\r\n<i>Chiron will move into </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> </i><b>on April 17th</b> -- the same day that Saturn comes to a halt -- and will remain in this enthusiastic sign until the end of September.\r\n\r\nWe will go over this upcoming shift in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how <strong>Chiron\'s journey through Aries,</strong> (and <strong>Uranus\'s journey through Taurus</strong>) will impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. The next Forum will be on <b>Monday, April 30th</b> at 3pm EDT/8pm BST (London-time); <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">for more info or to register, click here</a>\r\n\r\n<b>And of course, there\'s that Special Offer, I mentioned already:</b> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> <b>by April 17th</b>, you will also get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs a reminder to <strong>Star </strong>or<strong> SuperStar members:</strong> you will be automatically signed up for the Forum and will receive a link via email to join the live webinar and also for the video presentation.

Here are some more questions you can <b>ask yourself for the next two to four weeks:</b> What is my vision? What do I want to create now? What needs to change to make this happen?\r\n\r\nThe highest expression of the <b>Aries</b> energy is expressed when we lead others by example and inspiration -- they follow because they see our courage, our enthusiasm for life, and they want to be a part of that. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What if I dared to lead responsibly and with integrity? What if I were the one who inspires others and makes a difference? What is the smallest difference I could make? What is the largest?\r\n\r\nDo your best to tap into the very core of your being — your vision, your purpose — and don\'t be fooled: it is an essential part of the collective journey. Be an agent of change! Have the courage to step up and step out! To quote the great jewish scholar, Hillel: “If not you, then who? If not now, when?”\r\n\r\n<b>Some bonus questions you can ask yourself for the next 2 weeks:</b> What do I see that needs changing? What do I feel most passionate about? Where do I need to take a stand? What if I approached things with 5% more maturity? What is the outcome that serves long-term? <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> As best as you can, commit to something larger than yourself. Listen to your inner voice and bring your passionate Self to the world. Remember that each of us makes this journey in our own way, in our own time, so focus on yourself -- <em>your</em> path, <em>your</em> truth -- rather than on what lies beyond your control.\r\n\r\nSpring is an excellent time to do a cleanse on all levels.<b> Ask yourself:</b> What changes have already been in the back of my mind for months now? What first step looks inviting?\r\n\r\nRemember, the ultimate goal of this New Moon is to tap into our inner warrior — a mature warrior that generates and protects, rather than the shadow warrior who exploits and destroys -- who is courageous, rather than combative, assertive rather than aggressive.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">To learn more about this month\'s New Moon, please click here to watch my video. </a>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 24-28 degrees of either </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>?

You may also want to plan Monday morning ahead of time :-)  <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 8:23am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday early evening</strong>.<b> </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 6th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b>(see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 2:34am EST</strong>, <i>Mercury changes signs from dreamy, creative</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>to enthusiastic, direct</i> <b><i>Aries. </i></b>It will journey through this courageous sign, for an unusually long time, <b>until </b><b>May 13th</b> (due to its 3-week retrograde phase that starts on March 22nd).<i> </i>During this time, our thinking speeds up, and we are eager for new endeavors.\r\n\r\nGiven that we want to achieve our goals as quickly as possible, we may come off impulsive and impatient, and must therefore speak (and get answers) faster. Nothing stands in our way now: we are ready, we are brave, we want what we want and we want it now ;-)\r\n\r\nAs you can perhaps imagine, we need to watch out for blurting things out prematurely or inappropriately; as best you can, choose your words carefully and pause before responding ;-)\r\n\r\nRemember, everyone else is feeling the Aries energy quite strongly too, so do your best to not take it personally if someone ignores what you want, or says something insensitive. Keep the focus on yourself instead -- and take responsibility for how you are communicating or expressing yourself.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel especially chatty for the next 9 weeks. Your mental energy will be quite active and you feel the need to connect to others -- whether it be in person, via email, over the phone or via social media. New ideas and new connections are very likely. </i>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel a tremendous energy burst for the next 9 weeks: really enthusiastic and physically strong.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:45pm EST, </strong><i>Venus changes signs from intuitive, creative, </i><i>dreamy </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> to fast-paced, enthusiastic, active </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>,</i><i> </i>where it will journey <strong>until March 31st. </strong>Until then, we are going to feel passionate about connecting to others. We are ready to make a new start: if you are single, this could be a great chance to start something new (all things being equal ;-)\r\n\r\nWith Venus in <strong>Aries</strong>, spontaneity and independence are important to us. You’re not the only one who likes a challenge, so don\'t make it too easy for others to win you over ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you are already in a committed relationship, you get a wonderful chance to bring freshness and excitement to your bedroom and \"other parts of the house\" ;-) We also have more energy than usual; we are more likely to want to get out of the house, and be active with others.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, beauty and love will enter your life during this time, you will feel more attractive and you will attract things to you. As a </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i>, you will feel more energized, passionate and more direct than usual.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 7th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><strong><b><i>Scorpio</i></b></strong><strong> until 5:03pm EST</strong> (see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 3:55am EST</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 13 hours, <strong>until 5:03pm EST</strong>. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">Use this intuitive time</span> <span style=\"color: #993300;\">to connect with others on a deep emotional level, and explore greater truths about your ability to authentically connect with another.</span>\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday morning and afternoon ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon conjuncts Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 5:03pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i>, </b>where it will journey<i> <strong>until Saturday early morning</strong></i><b>. </b>We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things. This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Friday morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 8th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b></strong> (see Wednesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday around 11pm EST, </strong><i>Mercury enters a 3-week shadow phase</i><i>, as it reaches 4 degrees and 47 minutes of </i><b><i>Aries. </i></b>This precedes the retrograde phase, which will begin on March 22nd in almost 17 degrees of <b>Aries</b> (more on that in 3 weeks).\r\n\r\nSo what is the \"shadow phase\"? To explain this, I\'ll quickly cover what happens when a planet \"stations\" and then goes \"retrograde\".\r\n\r\nRelative to us on Earth, a planet sometimes looks like it is slowing down (\"stationing\"), then stopping. After being still for a while, it actually appears to go \"backward\" through the sky (this is the \"retrograde\" phase). It\'s a little like catching up to a car on the highway, driving exactly alongside it for a moment, then passing it and pulling ahead.\r\n\r\nAt first, retrograde movement is slow, but the planet gradually reaches its normal pace through the sky -- except it\'s going backward. The process then reverses itself: the backward pace slows, the planet crawls to a \"halt\", then it starts to move forward again (i.e. it goes direct). In our car analogy, it\'s like the car you just passed gradually speeds up and passes you again.\r\n\r\nThere are also two \"shadow\" phases -- during these, the planet travels over a part of the sky it will later \"revisit\". The first \"shadow\" comes before the planet moves backward; the second comes when the planet starts to catch back up (after going direct).\r\n\r\nIt\'s like you went hiking and left something behind at camp. If you went back to get it, you\'d have some catching up to do, and would see the same scenery twice or more.\r\n\r\nMercury\'s shadow phases usually last 2-3 weeks before and after the Retrograde phase.\r\n\r\nIf you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items -- especially connected to transportation (cars, airline tickets, etc.) or communication devices (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) -- be aware of the shadow periods as well as the retrograde phases. If possible, get these things done before Mercury enters it\'s shadow or wait until after the shadow phases are over -- that would be <strong>May 3rd</strong> in this case ;-)\r\n\r\nOf course, if there is something that <i>must</i> get done during these phases, don\'t put your whole life on hold, just because Mercury is retrograde or in it\'s shadow. Sometimes things line up exactly at the right time; as best as you can, trust that it\'s all \"perfect\" ;-)\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Thursday late evening, at 11:45pm EST, </strong><i>Jupiter comes to a halt </i>at 23 degrees of <strong>Scorpio</strong>,<b> </b>starting its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. The retrograde phases are inner processes -- they help us connect to a particular energy internally, and thus express it externally (once Jupiter goes direct again). Jupiter retrograde brings a chance to tap inner wisdom, optimism and sense of possibility, and an inner understanding of how the world works. This retrograde phase lasts <b>until July 10th.</b>\r\n\r\nDuring this time, we get to choose what we truly believe -- which beliefs serve us and which don\'t -- and we can more easily let go of limiting beliefs and experience new truths. While retrograde in <strong>Scorpio</strong>, <span style=\"color: #993300;\">Jupiter pointedly invites us to take a look at our intimate relationships, our attitudes around empowerment or disempowerment, and a deep authentic, emotional connection with ourselves and others. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">What do I believe about my intimate partnerships? About empowerment? Disempowerment? Deep authentic connections? Where am I making assumptions that do not serve me? What might be holding me back? </span>\r\n\r\nThe connection to inner wisdom is heightened. Ask yourself: What do I “just know”? If the answer is “I don’t know”, ask yourself “What if I did know? What mighty it be in that case?”\r\n\r\nFeel free to <a href=\"https://youtu.be/JtMJiPnnZWc\">check out my 30-minute excerpt</a> from my webinar about the Jupiter and Mercury Station and Retrograde phases in March: https://youtu.be/JtMJiPnnZWc\r\n\r\nAnd if you want to know how that will impact you personally, feel free to buy the whole 90+ min. webinar on the subject --  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a><span style=\"color: #993300;\"> </span>-- we talked about what to expect for the next 4 weeks, and how it all applies to our own birth charts ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> 12-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this retrograde phase.

We are thus best served by reviewing projects begun since the last New Moon in mid February (which was also a Solar Eclipse).\r\n\r\nWhat -- if anything -- needs adjustments? What did you discover since Feb. 15th? What did it mean for you? As best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-21 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Gemini</i></b><i>, <b>Pisces, </b>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 11th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</i><b><i> Capricorn </i>all day </b>(see Saturday early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning, </strong><em>a challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:00am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">next week</span> Tuesday (March 13th). </strong>This aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature.

You may also want to plan Monday morning ahead of time :-)  <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 8:23am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday early evening</strong>.<b> </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 6th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b>(see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 2:34am EST</strong>, <i>Mercury changes signs from dreamy, creative</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>to enthusiastic, direct</i> <b><i>Aries. </i></b>It will journey through this courageous sign, for an unusually long time, <b>until </b><b>May 13th</b> (due to its 3-week retrograde phase that starts on March 22nd).<i> </i>During this time, our thinking speeds up, and we are eager for new endeavors.\r\n\r\nGiven that we want to achieve our goals as quickly as possible, we may come off impulsive and impatient, and must therefore speak (and get answers) faster. Nothing stands in our way now: we are ready, we are brave, we want what we want and we want it now ;-)\r\n\r\nAs you can perhaps imagine, we need to watch out for blurting things out prematurely or inappropriately; as best you can, choose your words carefully and pause before responding ;-)\r\n\r\nRemember, everyone else is feeling the Aries energy quite strongly too, so do your best to not take it personally if someone ignores what you want, or says something insensitive. Keep the focus on yourself instead -- and take responsibility for how you are communicating or expressing yourself.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel especially chatty for the next 9 weeks. Your mental energy will be quite active and you feel the need to connect to others -- whether it be in person, via email, over the phone or via social media. New ideas and new connections are very likely. </i>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel a tremendous energy burst for the next 9 weeks: really enthusiastic and physically strong.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:45pm EST, </strong><i>Venus changes signs from intuitive, creative, </i><i>dreamy </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> to fast-paced, enthusiastic, active </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>,</i><i> </i>where it will journey <strong>until March 31st. </strong>Until then, we are going to feel passionate about connecting to others. We are ready to make a new start: if you are single, this could be a great chance to start something new (all things being equal ;-)\r\n\r\nWith Venus in <strong>Aries</strong>, spontaneity and independence are important to us. You’re not the only one who likes a challenge, so don\'t make it too easy for others to win you over ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you are already in a committed relationship, you get a wonderful chance to bring freshness and excitement to your bedroom and \"other parts of the house\" ;-) We also have more energy than usual; we are more likely to want to get out of the house, and be active with others.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, beauty and love will enter your life during this time, you will feel more attractive and you will attract things to you. As a </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i>, you will feel more energized, passionate and more direct than usual.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 7th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><strong><b><i>Scorpio</i></b></strong><strong> until 5:03pm EST</strong> (see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 3:55am EST</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 13 hours, <strong>until 5:03pm EST</strong>. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">Use this intuitive time</span> <span style=\"color: #993300;\">to connect with others on a deep emotional level, and explore greater truths about your ability to authentically connect with another.</span>\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday morning and afternoon ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon conjuncts Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 5:03pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i>, </b>where it will journey<i> <strong>until Saturday early morning</strong></i><b>. </b>We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things. This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Friday morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 8th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b></strong> (see Wednesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday around 11pm EST, </strong><i>Mercury enters a 3-week shadow phase</i><i>, as it reaches 4 degrees and 47 minutes of </i><b><i>Aries. </i></b>This precedes the retrograde phase, which will begin on March 22nd in almost 17 degrees of <b>Aries</b> (more on that in 3 weeks).\r\n\r\nSo what is the \"shadow phase\"? To explain this, I\'ll quickly cover what happens when a planet \"stations\" and then goes \"retrograde\".\r\n\r\nRelative to us on Earth, a planet sometimes looks like it is slowing down (\"stationing\"), then stopping. After being still for a while, it actually appears to go \"backward\" through the sky (this is the \"retrograde\" phase). It\'s a little like catching up to a car on the highway, driving exactly alongside it for a moment, then passing it and pulling ahead.\r\n\r\nAt first, retrograde movement is slow, but the planet gradually reaches its normal pace through the sky -- except it\'s going backward. The process then reverses itself: the backward pace slows, the planet crawls to a \"halt\", then it starts to move forward again (i.e. it goes direct). In our car analogy, it\'s like the car you just passed gradually speeds up and passes you again.\r\n\r\nThere are also two \"shadow\" phases -- during these, the planet travels over a part of the sky it will later \"revisit\". The first \"shadow\" comes before the planet moves backward; the second comes when the planet starts to catch back up (after going direct).\r\n\r\nIt\'s like you went hiking and left something behind at camp. If you went back to get it, you\'d have some catching up to do, and would see the same scenery twice or more.\r\n\r\nMercury\'s shadow phases usually last 2-3 weeks before and after the Retrograde phase.\r\n\r\nIf you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items -- especially connected to transportation (cars, airline tickets, etc.) or communication devices (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) -- be aware of the shadow periods as well as the retrograde phases. If possible, get these things done before Mercury enters it\'s shadow or wait until after the shadow phases are over -- that would be <strong>May 3rd</strong> in this case ;-)\r\n\r\nOf course, if there is something that <i>must</i> get done during these phases, don\'t put your whole life on hold, just because Mercury is retrograde or in it\'s shadow. Sometimes things line up exactly at the right time; as best as you can, trust that it\'s all \"perfect\" ;-)\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Thursday late evening, at 11:45pm EST, </strong><i>Jupiter comes to a halt </i>at 23 degrees of <strong>Scorpio</strong>,<b> </b>starting its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. The retrograde phases are inner processes -- they help us connect to a particular energy internally, and thus express it externally (once Jupiter goes direct again). Jupiter retrograde brings a chance to tap inner wisdom, optimism and sense of possibility, and an inner understanding of how the world works. This retrograde phase lasts <b>until July 10th.</b>\r\n\r\nDuring this time, we get to choose what we truly believe -- which beliefs serve us and which don\'t -- and we can more easily let go of limiting beliefs and experience new truths. While retrograde in <strong>Scorpio</strong>, <span style=\"color: #993300;\">Jupiter pointedly invites us to take a look at our intimate relationships, our attitudes around empowerment or disempowerment, and a deep authentic, emotional connection with ourselves and others. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">What do I believe about my intimate partnerships? About empowerment? Disempowerment? Deep authentic connections? Where am I making assumptions that do not serve me? What might be holding me back? </span>\r\n\r\nThe connection to inner wisdom is heightened. Ask yourself: What do I “just know”? If the answer is “I don’t know”, ask yourself “What if I did know? What mighty it be in that case?”\r\n\r\nFeel free to <a href=\"https://youtu.be/JtMJiPnnZWc\">check out my 30-minute excerpt</a> from my webinar about the Jupiter and Mercury Station and Retrograde phases in March: https://youtu.be/JtMJiPnnZWc\r\n\r\nAnd if you want to know how that will impact you personally, feel free to buy the whole 90+ min. webinar on the subject --  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a><span style=\"color: #993300;\"> </span>-- we talked about what to expect for the next 4 weeks, and how it all applies to our own birth charts ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> 12-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this retrograde phase.

However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to March 17th\'s New Moon in <strong>Pisces</strong>. We are thus best served by reviewing projects begun since the last New Moon in mid February (which was also a Solar Eclipse).\r\n\r\nWhat -- if anything -- needs adjustments? What did you discover since Feb. 15th? What did it mean for you? As best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-21 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Gemini</i></b><i>, <b>Pisces, </b>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 11th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</i><b><i> Capricorn </i>all day </b>(see Saturday early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning, </strong><em>a challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:00am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">next week</span> Tuesday (March 13th). </strong>This aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature.

You may also want to plan Monday morning ahead of time :-)  <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 8:23am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday early evening</strong>.<b> </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 6th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b>(see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 2:34am EST</strong>, <i>Mercury changes signs from dreamy, creative</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>to enthusiastic, direct</i> <b><i>Aries. </i></b>It will journey through this courageous sign, for an unusually long time, <b>until </b><b>May 13th</b> (due to its 3-week retrograde phase that starts on March 22nd).<i> </i>During this time, our thinking speeds up, and we are eager for new endeavors.\r\n\r\nGiven that we want to achieve our goals as quickly as possible, we may come off impulsive and impatient, and must therefore speak (and get answers) faster. Nothing stands in our way now: we are ready, we are brave, we want what we want and we want it now ;-)\r\n\r\nAs you can perhaps imagine, we need to watch out for blurting things out prematurely or inappropriately; as best you can, choose your words carefully and pause before responding ;-)\r\n\r\nRemember, everyone else is feeling the Aries energy quite strongly too, so do your best to not take it personally if someone ignores what you want, or says something insensitive. Keep the focus on yourself instead -- and take responsibility for how you are communicating or expressing yourself.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel especially chatty for the next 9 weeks. Your mental energy will be quite active and you feel the need to connect to others -- whether it be in person, via email, over the phone or via social media. New ideas and new connections are very likely. </i>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel a tremendous energy burst for the next 9 weeks: really enthusiastic and physically strong.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:45pm EST, </strong><i>Venus changes signs from intuitive, creative, </i><i>dreamy </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> to fast-paced, enthusiastic, active </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>,</i><i> </i>where it will journey <strong>until March 31st. </strong>Until then, we are going to feel passionate about connecting to others. We are ready to make a new start: if you are single, this could be a great chance to start something new (all things being equal ;-)\r\n\r\nWith Venus in <strong>Aries</strong>, spontaneity and independence are important to us. You’re not the only one who likes a challenge, so don\'t make it too easy for others to win you over ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you are already in a committed relationship, you get a wonderful chance to bring freshness and excitement to your bedroom and \"other parts of the house\" ;-) We also have more energy than usual; we are more likely to want to get out of the house, and be active with others.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, beauty and love will enter your life during this time, you will feel more attractive and you will attract things to you. As a </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i>, you will feel more energized, passionate and more direct than usual.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 7th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><strong><b><i>Scorpio</i></b></strong><strong> until 5:03pm EST</strong> (see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 3:55am EST</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 13 hours, <strong>until 5:03pm EST</strong>. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">Use this intuitive time</span> <span style=\"color: #993300;\">to connect with others on a deep emotional level, and explore greater truths about your ability to authentically connect with another.</span>\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday morning and afternoon ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon conjuncts Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 5:03pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i>, </b>where it will journey<i> <strong>until Saturday early morning</strong></i><b>. </b>We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things. This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Friday morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 8th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b></strong> (see Wednesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday around 11pm EST, </strong><i>Mercury enters a 3-week shadow phase</i><i>, as it reaches 4 degrees and 47 minutes of </i><b><i>Aries. </i></b>This precedes the retrograde phase, which will begin on March 22nd in almost 17 degrees of <b>Aries</b> (more on that in 3 weeks).\r\n\r\nSo what is the \"shadow phase\"? To explain this, I\'ll quickly cover what happens when a planet \"stations\" and then goes \"retrograde\".\r\n\r\nRelative to us on Earth, a planet sometimes looks like it is slowing down (\"stationing\"), then stopping. After being still for a while, it actually appears to go \"backward\" through the sky (this is the \"retrograde\" phase). It\'s a little like catching up to a car on the highway, driving exactly alongside it for a moment, then passing it and pulling ahead.\r\n\r\nAt first, retrograde movement is slow, but the planet gradually reaches its normal pace through the sky -- except it\'s going backward. The process then reverses itself: the backward pace slows, the planet crawls to a \"halt\", then it starts to move forward again (i.e. it goes direct). In our car analogy, it\'s like the car you just passed gradually speeds up and passes you again.\r\n\r\nThere are also two \"shadow\" phases -- during these, the planet travels over a part of the sky it will later \"revisit\". The first \"shadow\" comes before the planet moves backward; the second comes when the planet starts to catch back up (after going direct).\r\n\r\nIt\'s like you went hiking and left something behind at camp. If you went back to get it, you\'d have some catching up to do, and would see the same scenery twice or more.\r\n\r\nMercury\'s shadow phases usually last 2-3 weeks before and after the Retrograde phase.\r\n\r\nIf you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items -- especially connected to transportation (cars, airline tickets, etc.) or communication devices (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) -- be aware of the shadow periods as well as the retrograde phases. If possible, get these things done before Mercury enters it\'s shadow or wait until after the shadow phases are over -- that would be <strong>May 3rd</strong> in this case ;-)\r\n\r\nOf course, if there is something that <i>must</i> get done during these phases, don\'t put your whole life on hold, just because Mercury is retrograde or in it\'s shadow. Sometimes things line up exactly at the right time; as best as you can, trust that it\'s all \"perfect\" ;-)\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Thursday late evening, at 11:45pm EST, </strong><i>Jupiter comes to a halt </i>at 23 degrees of <strong>Scorpio</strong>,<b> </b>starting its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. The retrograde phases are inner processes -- they help us connect to a particular energy internally, and thus express it externally (once Jupiter goes direct again). Jupiter retrograde brings a chance to tap inner wisdom, optimism and sense of possibility, and an inner understanding of how the world works. This retrograde phase lasts <b>until July 10th.</b>\r\n\r\nDuring this time, we get to choose what we truly believe -- which beliefs serve us and which don\'t -- and we can more easily let go of limiting beliefs and experience new truths. While retrograde in <strong>Scorpio</strong>, <span style=\"color: #993300;\">Jupiter pointedly invites us to take a look at our intimate relationships, our attitudes around empowerment or disempowerment, and a deep authentic, emotional connection with ourselves and others. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">What do I believe about my intimate partnerships? About empowerment? Disempowerment? Deep authentic connections? Where am I making assumptions that do not serve me? What might be holding me back? </span>\r\n\r\nThe connection to inner wisdom is heightened. Ask yourself: What do I “just know”? If the answer is “I don’t know”, ask yourself “What if I did know? What mighty it be in that case?”\r\n\r\nFeel free to <a href=\"https://youtu.be/JtMJiPnnZWc\">check out my 30-minute excerpt</a> from my webinar about the Jupiter and Mercury Station and Retrograde phases in March: https://youtu.be/JtMJiPnnZWc\r\n\r\nAnd if you want to know how that will impact you personally, feel free to buy the whole 90+ min. webinar on the subject --  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a><span style=\"color: #993300;\"> </span>-- we talked about what to expect for the next 4 weeks, and how it all applies to our own birth charts ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> 12-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this retrograde phase.

However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to March 17th\'s New Moon in <strong>Pisces</strong>. We are thus best served by reviewing projects begun since the last New Moon in mid February (which was also a Solar Eclipse).\r\n\r\nWhat -- if anything -- needs adjustments? What did you discover since Feb. 15th? What did it mean for you? As best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-21 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Gemini</i></b><i>, <b>Pisces, </b>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 11th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</i><b><i> Capricorn </i>all day </b>(see Saturday early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning, </strong><em>a challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:00am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">next week</span> Tuesday (March 13th). </strong>This aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature.

You may also want to plan Monday morning ahead of time :-)  <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 8:23am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday early evening</strong>.<b> </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 6th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b>(see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 2:34am EST</strong>, <i>Mercury changes signs from dreamy, creative</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>to enthusiastic, direct</i> <b><i>Aries. </i></b>It will journey through this courageous sign, for an unusually long time, <b>until </b><b>May 13th</b> (due to its 3-week retrograde phase that starts on March 22nd).<i> </i>During this time, our thinking speeds up, and we are eager for new endeavors.\r\n\r\nGiven that we want to achieve our goals as quickly as possible, we may come off impulsive and impatient, and must therefore speak (and get answers) faster. Nothing stands in our way now: we are ready, we are brave, we want what we want and we want it now ;-)\r\n\r\nAs you can perhaps imagine, we need to watch out for blurting things out prematurely or inappropriately; as best you can, choose your words carefully and pause before responding ;-)\r\n\r\nRemember, everyone else is feeling the Aries energy quite strongly too, so do your best to not take it personally if someone ignores what you want, or says something insensitive. Keep the focus on yourself instead -- and take responsibility for how you are communicating or expressing yourself.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel especially chatty for the next 9 weeks. Your mental energy will be quite active and you feel the need to connect to others -- whether it be in person, via email, over the phone or via social media. New ideas and new connections are very likely. </i>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel a tremendous energy burst for the next 9 weeks: really enthusiastic and physically strong.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:45pm EST, </strong><i>Venus changes signs from intuitive, creative, </i><i>dreamy </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> to fast-paced, enthusiastic, active </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>,</i><i> </i>where it will journey <strong>until March 31st. </strong>Until then, we are going to feel passionate about connecting to others. We are ready to make a new start: if you are single, this could be a great chance to start something new (all things being equal ;-)\r\n\r\nWith Venus in <strong>Aries</strong>, spontaneity and independence are important to us. You’re not the only one who likes a challenge, so don\'t make it too easy for others to win you over ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you are already in a committed relationship, you get a wonderful chance to bring freshness and excitement to your bedroom and \"other parts of the house\" ;-) We also have more energy than usual; we are more likely to want to get out of the house, and be active with others.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, beauty and love will enter your life during this time, you will feel more attractive and you will attract things to you. As a </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i>, you will feel more energized, passionate and more direct than usual.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 7th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><strong><b><i>Scorpio</i></b></strong><strong> until 5:03pm EST</strong> (see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 3:55am EST</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 13 hours, <strong>until 5:03pm EST</strong>. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">Use this intuitive time</span> <span style=\"color: #993300;\">to connect with others on a deep emotional level, and explore greater truths about your ability to authentically connect with another.</span>\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday morning and afternoon ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon conjuncts Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 5:03pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i>, </b>where it will journey<i> <strong>until Saturday early morning</strong></i><b>. </b>We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things. This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Friday morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 8th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b></strong> (see Wednesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday around 11pm EST, </strong><i>Mercury enters a 3-week shadow phase</i><i>, as it reaches 4 degrees and 47 minutes of </i><b><i>Aries. </i></b>This precedes the retrograde phase, which will begin on March 22nd in almost 17 degrees of <b>Aries</b> (more on that in 3 weeks).\r\n\r\nSo what is the \"shadow phase\"? To explain this, I\'ll quickly cover what happens when a planet \"stations\" and then goes \"retrograde\".\r\n\r\nRelative to us on Earth, a planet sometimes looks like it is slowing down (\"stationing\"), then stopping. After being still for a while, it actually appears to go \"backward\" through the sky (this is the \"retrograde\" phase). It\'s a little like catching up to a car on the highway, driving exactly alongside it for a moment, then passing it and pulling ahead.\r\n\r\nAt first, retrograde movement is slow, but the planet gradually reaches its normal pace through the sky -- except it\'s going backward. The process then reverses itself: the backward pace slows, the planet crawls to a \"halt\", then it starts to move forward again (i.e. it goes direct). In our car analogy, it\'s like the car you just passed gradually speeds up and passes you again.\r\n\r\nThere are also two \"shadow\" phases -- during these, the planet travels over a part of the sky it will later \"revisit\". The first \"shadow\" comes before the planet moves backward; the second comes when the planet starts to catch back up (after going direct).\r\n\r\nIt\'s like you went hiking and left something behind at camp. If you went back to get it, you\'d have some catching up to do, and would see the same scenery twice or more.\r\n\r\nMercury\'s shadow phases usually last 2-3 weeks before and after the Retrograde phase.\r\n\r\nIf you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items -- especially connected to transportation (cars, airline tickets, etc.) or communication devices (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) -- be aware of the shadow periods as well as the retrograde phases. If possible, get these things done before Mercury enters it\'s shadow or wait until after the shadow phases are over -- that would be <strong>May 3rd</strong> in this case ;-)\r\n\r\nOf course, if there is something that <i>must</i> get done during these phases, don\'t put your whole life on hold, just because Mercury is retrograde or in it\'s shadow. Sometimes things line up exactly at the right time; as best as you can, trust that it\'s all \"perfect\" ;-)\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Thursday late evening, at 11:45pm EST, </strong><i>Jupiter comes to a halt </i>at 23 degrees of <strong>Scorpio</strong>,<b> </b>starting its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. The retrograde phases are inner processes -- they help us connect to a particular energy internally, and thus express it externally (once Jupiter goes direct again). Jupiter retrograde brings a chance to tap inner wisdom, optimism and sense of possibility, and an inner understanding of how the world works. This retrograde phase lasts <b>until July 10th.</b>\r\n\r\nDuring this time, we get to choose what we truly believe -- which beliefs serve us and which don\'t -- and we can more easily let go of limiting beliefs and experience new truths. While retrograde in <strong>Scorpio</strong>, <span style=\"color: #993300;\">Jupiter pointedly invites us to take a look at our intimate relationships, our attitudes around empowerment or disempowerment, and a deep authentic, emotional connection with ourselves and others. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">What do I believe about my intimate partnerships? About empowerment? Disempowerment? Deep authentic connections? Where am I making assumptions that do not serve me? What might be holding me back? </span>\r\n\r\nThe connection to inner wisdom is heightened. Ask yourself: What do I “just know”? If the answer is “I don’t know”, ask yourself “What if I did know? What mighty it be in that case?”\r\n\r\nFeel free to <a href=\"https://youtu.be/JtMJiPnnZWc\">check out my 30-minute excerpt</a> from my webinar about the Jupiter and Mercury Station and Retrograde phases in March: https://youtu.be/JtMJiPnnZWc\r\n\r\nAnd if you want to know how that will impact you personally, feel free to buy the whole 90+ min. webinar on the subject --  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a><span style=\"color: #993300;\"> </span>-- we talked about what to expect for the next 4 weeks, and how it all applies to our own birth charts ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> 12-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this retrograde phase.

However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to March 17th\'s New Moon in <strong>Pisces</strong>. We are thus best served by reviewing projects begun since the last New Moon in mid February (which was also a Solar Eclipse).\r\n\r\nWhat -- if anything -- needs adjustments? What did you discover since Feb. 15th? What did it mean for you? As best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-21 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Gemini</i></b><i>, <b>Pisces, </b>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 11th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</i><b><i> Capricorn </i>all day </b>(see Saturday early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning, </strong><em>a challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:00am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">next week</span> Tuesday (March 13th). </strong>This aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature.

On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long something takes to manifest and slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce. Ask yourself: How long is what I am building long-term going to last?

On Thursday, Mercury enters its shadow phase and Jupiter comes to a complete halt as it starts its 4-month retrograde phase.

You may also want to plan Monday morning ahead of time :-)  <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 8:23am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday early evening</strong>.<b> </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 6th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b>(see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 2:34am EST</strong>, <i>Mercury changes signs from dreamy, creative</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>to enthusiastic, direct</i> <b><i>Aries. </i></b>It will journey through this courageous sign, for an unusually long time, <b>until </b><b>May 13th</b> (due to its 3-week retrograde phase that starts on March 22nd).<i> </i>During this time, our thinking speeds up, and we are eager for new endeavors.\r\n\r\nGiven that we want to achieve our goals as quickly as possible, we may come off impulsive and impatient, and must therefore speak (and get answers) faster. Nothing stands in our way now: we are ready, we are brave, we want what we want and we want it now ;-)\r\n\r\nAs you can perhaps imagine, we need to watch out for blurting things out prematurely or inappropriately; as best you can, choose your words carefully and pause before responding ;-)\r\n\r\nRemember, everyone else is feeling the Aries energy quite strongly too, so do your best to not take it personally if someone ignores what you want, or says something insensitive. Keep the focus on yourself instead -- and take responsibility for how you are communicating or expressing yourself.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel especially chatty for the next 9 weeks. Your mental energy will be quite active and you feel the need to connect to others -- whether it be in person, via email, over the phone or via social media. New ideas and new connections are very likely. </i>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel a tremendous energy burst for the next 9 weeks: really enthusiastic and physically strong.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:45pm EST, </strong><i>Venus changes signs from intuitive, creative, </i><i>dreamy </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> to fast-paced, enthusiastic, active </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>,</i><i> </i>where it will journey <strong>until March 31st. </strong>Until then, we are going to feel passionate about connecting to others. We are ready to make a new start: if you are single, this could be a great chance to start something new (all things being equal ;-)\r\n\r\nWith Venus in <strong>Aries</strong>, spontaneity and independence are important to us. You’re not the only one who likes a challenge, so don\'t make it too easy for others to win you over ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you are already in a committed relationship, you get a wonderful chance to bring freshness and excitement to your bedroom and \"other parts of the house\" ;-) We also have more energy than usual; we are more likely to want to get out of the house, and be active with others.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, beauty and love will enter your life during this time, you will feel more attractive and you will attract things to you. As a </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i>, you will feel more energized, passionate and more direct than usual.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 7th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><strong><b><i>Scorpio</i></b></strong><strong> until 5:03pm EST</strong> (see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 3:55am EST</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 13 hours, <strong>until 5:03pm EST</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with others on a deep emotional level, and explore greater truths about your ability to make those authentic connections.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday morning and afternoon ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon conjuncts Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 5:03pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i>, </b>where it will journey<i> <strong>until Saturday early morning</strong></i><b>. </b>We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things. This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Friday morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 8th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b></strong> (see Wednesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday around 11pm EST, </strong><i>Mercury enters a 3-week shadow phase</i><i>, as it reaches 4 degrees and 47 minutes of </i><b><i>Aries. </i></b>This precedes the retrograde phase, which will begin on March 22nd in almost 17 degrees of <b>Aries</b> (more on that in 3 weeks).\r\n\r\nSo what is the \"shadow phase\"? To explain this, I\'ll quickly cover what happens when a planet \"stations\" and then goes \"retrograde\".\r\n\r\nRelative to us on Earth, a planet sometimes looks like it is slowing down (\"stationing\"), then stopping. After being still for a while, it actually appears to go \"backward\" through the sky (this is the \"retrograde\" phase). It\'s a little like catching up to a car on the highway, driving exactly alongside it for a moment, then passing it and pulling ahead.\r\n\r\nAt first, retrograde movement is slow, but the planet gradually reaches its normal pace through the sky -- except it\'s going backward. The process then reverses itself: the backward pace slows, the planet crawls to a \"halt\", then it starts to move forward again (i.e. it goes direct). In our car analogy, it\'s like the car you just passed gradually speeds up and passes you again.\r\n\r\nThere are also two \"shadow\" phases -- during these, the planet travels over a part of the sky it will later \"revisit\". The first \"shadow\" comes before the planet moves backward; the second comes when the planet starts to catch back up (after going direct).\r\n\r\nIt\'s like you went hiking and left something behind at camp. If you went back to get it, you\'d have some catching up to do, and would see the same scenery twice or more.\r\n\r\nMercury\'s shadow phases usually last 2-3 weeks before and after the Retrograde phase.\r\n\r\nIf you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items -- especially connected to transportation (cars, airline tickets, etc.) or communication devices (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) -- be aware of the shadow periods as well as the retrograde phases. If possible, get these things done before Mercury enters it\'s shadow or wait until after the shadow phases are over -- that would be <strong>May 3rd</strong> in this case ;-)\r\n\r\nOf course, if there is something that <i>must</i> get done during these phases, don\'t put your whole life on hold, just because Mercury is retrograde or in it\'s shadow. Sometimes things line up exactly at the right time; as best as you can, trust that it\'s all \"perfect\" ;-)\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Thursday late evening, at 11:45pm EST, </strong><i>Jupiter comes to a halt </i>at 23 degrees of <strong>Scorpio</strong>,<b> </b>starting its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. The retrograde phases are inner processes -- they help us connect to a particular energy internally, and thus express it externally (once Jupiter goes direct again). Jupiter retrograde brings a chance to tap inner wisdom, optimism and sense of possibility, and an inner understanding of how the world works. This retrograde phase lasts <b>until July 10th.</b>\r\n\r\nDuring this time, we get to choose what we truly believe -- which beliefs serve us and which don\'t -- and we can more easily let go of limiting beliefs and experience new truths. While retrograde in <strong>Scorpio</strong> -- here are some coaching questions<span style=\"color: #993300;\">: </span>\r\n\r\nWhat do I believe about my intimate partnerships? About empowerment? Disempowerment? Deep authentic connections? Where am I making assumptions that do not serve me? What might be holding me back?\r\n\r\nThe connection to inner wisdom is heightened. Ask yourself: What do I “just know”? If the answer is “I don’t know”, ask yourself “What if I did know? What mighty it be in that case?”\r\n\r\nFeel free to <a href=\"https://youtu.be/JtMJiPnnZWc\">check out my 30-minute excerpt</a> from my webinar about the Jupiter and Mercury Station and Retrograde phases in March: https://youtu.be/JtMJiPnnZWc\r\n\r\nAnd if you want to know how that will impact you personally, feel free to buy the whole 90+ min. webinar on the subject --  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a><span style=\"color: #993300;\"> </span>-- we talked about what to expect for the next 4 weeks, and how it all applies to our own birth charts ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> 12-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this retrograde phase.

However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to March 17th\'s New Moon in <strong>Pisces</strong>. We are thus best served by reviewing projects begun since the last New Moon in mid February (which was also a Solar Eclipse).\r\n\r\nWhat -- if anything -- needs adjustments? What did you discover since Feb. 15th? What did it mean for you?

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 11th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</i><b><i> Capricorn </i>all day </b>(see Saturday early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning, </strong><em>a challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:00am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">next week</span> Tuesday (March 13th). </strong>This aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature.

On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce. Ask yourself: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term?

On Thursday, Mercury enters its shadow phase and Jupiter comes to a complete halt as it starts its 4-month retrograde phase. Lastly, on Friday morning, the last Quarter Moon in Sagittarius becomes exact.\r\n\r\nThere will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Monday very early morning (for a little over 7.5 hours), Wednesday very early morning (for a little over 13 hours), and Friday late evening (for almost 7.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (March 5th):</strong> <em>The Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong> until 8:23am EST</strong>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday very early morning at 1:19am EST, </strong>we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&amp;q=https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1519834911779000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGFGZ17skEnKIsKbpcRC91A0HqnJA\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7.5 hours, <strong>until 8:23am EST</strong>. If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it to examine your one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday morning ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 8:23am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday early evening</strong>.<b> </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 6th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b>(see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 2:34am EST</strong>, <i>Mercury changes signs from dreamy, creative</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>to enthusiastic, direct</i> <b><i>Aries. </i></b>It will journey through this courageous sign, for an unusually long time, <b>until </b><b>May 13th</b> (due to its 3-week retrograde phase that starts on March 22nd).<i> </i>During this time, our thinking speeds up, and we are eager for new endeavors.\r\n\r\nGiven that we want to achieve our goals as quickly as possible, we may come off impulsive and impatient, and must therefore speak (and get answers) faster. Nothing stands in our way now: we are ready, we are brave, we want what we want and we want it now ;-)\r\n\r\nAs you can perhaps imagine, we need to watch out for blurting things out prematurely or inappropriately; as best you can, choose your words carefully and pause before responding ;-)\r\n\r\nRemember, everyone else is feeling the Aries energy quite strongly too, so do your best to not take it personally if someone ignores what you want, or says something insensitive. Keep the focus on yourself instead -- and take responsibility for how you are communicating or expressing yourself.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel especially chatty for the next 9 weeks. Your mental energy will be quite active and you feel the need to connect to others -- whether it be in person, via email, over the phone or via social media. New ideas and new connections are very likely. </i>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel a tremendous energy burst for the next 9 weeks: really enthusiastic and physically strong.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:45pm EST, </strong><i>Venus changes signs from intuitive, creative, </i><i>dreamy </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> to fast-paced, enthusiastic, active </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>,</i><i> </i>where it will journey <strong>until March 31st. </strong>Until then, we are going to feel passionate about connecting to others. We are ready to make a new start: if you are single, this could be a great chance to start something new (all things being equal ;-)\r\n\r\nWith Venus in <strong>Aries</strong>, spontaneity and independence are important to us. You’re not the only one who likes a challenge, so don\'t make it too easy for others to win you over ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you are already in a committed relationship, you get a wonderful chance to bring freshness and excitement to your bedroom and \"other parts of the house\" ;-) We also have more energy than usual; we are more likely to want to get out of the house, and be active with others.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, beauty and love will enter your life during this time, you will feel more attractive and you will attract things to you. As a </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i>, you will feel more energized, passionate and more direct than usual.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 7th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><strong><b><i>Scorpio</i></b></strong><strong> until 5:03pm EST</strong> (see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 3:55am EST</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 13 hours, <strong>until 5:03pm EST</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with others on a deep emotional level, and explore greater truths about your ability to make those authentic connections.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday morning and afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 5:03pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i>, </b>where it will journey<i> <strong>until Saturday early morning</strong></i><b>. </b>We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things. This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Friday morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 8th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b></strong> (see Wednesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday around 11pm EST, </strong><i>Mercury enters a 3-week shadow phase</i><i>, as it reaches 4 degrees and 47 minutes of </i><b><i>Aries. </i></b>This precedes the retrograde phase, which will begin on March 22nd in almost 17 degrees of <b>Aries</b> (more on that in 3 weeks).\r\n\r\nSo what is the \"shadow phase\"? To explain this, I\'ll quickly cover what happens when a planet \"stations\" and then goes \"retrograde\".\r\n\r\nRelative to us on Earth, a planet sometimes looks like it is slowing down (\"stationing\"), then stopping. After being still for a while, it actually appears to go \"backward\" through the sky (this is the \"retrograde\" phase). It\'s a little like catching up to a car on the highway, driving exactly alongside it for a moment, then passing it and pulling ahead.\r\n\r\nAt first, retrograde movement is slow, but the planet gradually reaches its normal pace through the sky -- except it\'s going backward. The process then reverses itself: the backward pace slows, the planet crawls to a \"halt\", then it starts to move forward again (i.e. it goes direct). In our car analogy, it\'s like the car you just passed gradually speeds up and passes you again.\r\n\r\nThere are also two \"shadow\" phases -- during these, the planet travels over a part of the sky it will later \"revisit\". The first \"shadow\" comes before the planet moves backward; the second comes when the planet starts to catch back up (after going direct).\r\n\r\nIt\'s like you went hiking and left something behind at camp. If you went back to get it, you\'d have some catching up to do, and would see the same scenery twice or more.\r\n\r\nMercury\'s shadow phases usually last 2-3 weeks before and after the Retrograde phase.\r\n\r\nIf you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items -- especially connected to transportation (cars, airline tickets, etc.) or communication devices (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) -- be aware of the shadow periods as well as the retrograde phases. If possible, get these things done before Mercury enters it\'s shadow or wait until after the shadow phases are over -- that would be <strong>May 3rd</strong> in this case ;-)\r\n\r\nOf course, if there is something that <i>must</i> get done during these phases, don\'t put your whole life on hold, just because Mercury is retrograde or in it\'s shadow. Sometimes things line up exactly at the right time; as best as you can, trust that it\'s all \"perfect\" ;-)\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Thursday late evening, at 11:45pm EST, </strong><i>Jupiter comes to a halt </i>at 23 degrees of <strong>Scorpio</strong>,<b> </b>starting its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. The retrograde phases are inner processes -- they help us connect to a particular energy internally, and thus express it externally (once Jupiter goes direct again). Jupiter retrograde brings a chance to tap inner wisdom, optimism and sense of possibility, and an inner understanding of how the world works. This retrograde phase lasts <b>until July 10th.</b>\r\n\r\nDuring this time, we get to choose what we truly believe -- which beliefs serve us and which don\'t -- and we can more easily let go of limiting beliefs and experience new truths. While retrograde in <strong>Scorpio</strong> -- here are some coaching questions:\r\n\r\nWhat do I believe about my intimate partnerships? About empowerment? Disempowerment? Deep authentic connections? Where am I making assumptions that do not serve me? What might be holding me back?\r\n\r\nThe connection to inner wisdom is heightened. Ask yourself: What do I “just know”? If the answer is “I don’t know”, ask yourself “What if I did know? What mighty it be in that case?”\r\n\r\nFeel free to <a href=\"https://youtu.be/JtMJiPnnZWc\">check out my 30-minute excerpt</a> from my webinar about the Jupiter and Mercury Station and Retrograde phases in March: https://youtu.be/JtMJiPnnZWc\r\n\r\nAnd if you want to know how that will impact you personally, feel free to buy the whole 90+ min. webinar on the subject --  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a> -- we talked about what to expect for the next 4 weeks, and how it all applies to our own birth charts ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> 12-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this retrograde phase.

However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to March 17th\'s New Moon in <strong>Pisces</strong>. We are thus best served by reviewing projects begun since the last New Moon in mid February (which was also a Solar Eclipse).\r\n\r\nWhat -- if anything -- needs adjustments?

On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce.

On Thursday, Mercury enters its shadow phase and Jupiter comes to a complete halt as it starts its 4-month retrograde phase. Lastly, on Friday morning, the last Quarter Moon in Sagittarius becomes exact.\n\nThere will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Monday very early morning (for a little over 7.5 hours), Wednesday very early morning (for a little over 13 hours), and Friday late evening (for almost 7.5 hours).\n\n<strong>Monday (March 5th):</strong> <em>The Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong> until 8:23am EST</strong>.\n\n<strong>Monday very early morning at 1:19am EST, </strong>we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&amp;q=https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1519834911779000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGFGZ17skEnKIsKbpcRC91A0HqnJA\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7.5 hours, <strong>until 8:23am EST</strong>. If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it to examine your one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?<!--more-->\n\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday morning ahead of time :-)\n\n<strong>Monday at 8:23am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday early evening</strong>.<b> </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\n\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\n\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\n\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\n\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\n\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\n\n<strong>Tuesday (March 6th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b>(see Monday morning for details).\n\n<strong>Tuesday at 2:34am EST</strong>, <i>Mercury changes signs from dreamy, creative</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>to enthusiastic, direct</i> <b><i>Aries. </i></b>It will journey through this courageous sign, for an unusually long time, <b>until </b><b>May 13th</b> (due to its 3-week retrograde phase that starts on March 22nd).<i> </i>During this time, our thinking speeds up, and we are eager for new endeavors.\n\nGiven that we want to achieve our goals as quickly as possible, we may come off impulsive and impatient, and must therefore speak (and get answers) faster. Nothing stands in our way now: we are ready, we are brave, we want what we want and we want it now ;-)\n\nAs you can perhaps imagine, we need to watch out for blurting things out prematurely or inappropriately; as best you can, choose your words carefully and pause before responding ;-)\n\nRemember, everyone else is feeling the Aries energy quite strongly too, so do your best to not take it personally if someone ignores what you want, or says something insensitive. Keep the focus on yourself instead -- and take responsibility for how you are communicating or expressing yourself.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel especially chatty for the next 9 weeks. Your mental energy will be quite active and you feel the need to connect to others -- whether it be in person, via email, over the phone or via social media. New ideas and new connections are very likely. </i>\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel a tremendous energy burst for the next 9 weeks: really enthusiastic and physically strong.</i>\n\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:45pm EST, </strong><i>Venus changes signs from intuitive, creative, </i><i>dreamy </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> to fast-paced, enthusiastic, active </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>,</i><i> </i>where it will journey <strong>until March 31st. </strong>Until then, we are going to feel passionate about connecting to others. We are ready to make a new start: if you are single, this could be a great chance to start something new (all things being equal ;-)\n\nWith Venus in <strong>Aries</strong>, spontaneity and independence are important to us. You’re not the only one who likes a challenge, so don\'t make it too easy for others to win you over ;-)\n\nIf you are already in a committed relationship, you get a wonderful chance to bring freshness and excitement to your bedroom and \"other parts of the house\" ;-) We also have more energy than usual; we are more likely to want to get out of the house, and be active with others.\n\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, beauty and love will enter your life during this time, you will feel more attractive and you will attract things to you. As a </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i>, you will feel more energized, passionate and more direct than usual.</i>\n\n<strong>Wednesday (March 7th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><strong><b><i>Scorpio</i></b></strong><strong> until 5:03pm EST</strong> (see Monday morning for details).\n\n<strong>Wednesday at 3:55am EST</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 13 hours, <strong>until 5:03pm EST</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with others on a deep emotional level, and explore greater truths about your ability to make those authentic connections.\n\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday morning and afternoon ahead of time :-)\n\n<strong>Wednesday at 5:03pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i>, </b>where it will journey<i> <strong>until Saturday early morning</strong></i><b>. </b>We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\n\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\n\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things. This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Friday morning).\n\n<strong>Thursday (March 8th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b></strong> (see Wednesday late afternoon for details).\n\n<strong>Thursday around 11pm EST, </strong><i>Mercury enters a 3-week shadow phase</i><i>, as it reaches 4 degrees and 47 minutes of </i><b><i>Aries. </i></b>This precedes the retrograde phase, which will begin on March 22nd in almost 17 degrees of <b>Aries</b> (more on that in 3 weeks).\n\nSo what is the \"shadow phase\"? To explain this, I\'ll quickly cover what happens when a planet \"stations\" and then goes \"retrograde\".\n\nRelative to us on Earth, a planet sometimes looks like it is slowing down (\"stationing\"), then stopping. After being still for a while, it actually appears to go \"backward\" through the sky (this is the \"retrograde\" phase). It\'s a little like catching up to a car on the highway, driving exactly alongside it for a moment, then passing it and pulling ahead.\n\nAt first, retrograde movement is slow, but the planet gradually reaches its normal pace through the sky -- except it\'s going backward. The process then reverses itself: the backward pace slows, the planet crawls to a \"halt\", then it starts to move forward again (i.e. it goes direct). In our car analogy, it\'s like the car you just passed gradually speeds up and passes you again.\n\nThere are also two \"shadow\" phases -- during these, the planet travels over a part of the sky it will later \"revisit\". The first \"shadow\" comes before the planet moves backward; the second comes when the planet starts to catch back up (after going direct).\n\nIt\'s like you went hiking and left something behind at camp. If you went back to get it, you\'d have some catching up to do, and would see the same scenery twice or more.\n\nMercury\'s shadow phases usually last 2-3 weeks before and after the Retrograde phase.\n\nIf you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items -- especially connected to transportation (cars, airline tickets, etc.) or communication devices (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) -- be aware of the shadow periods as well as the retrograde phases. If possible, get these things done before Mercury enters it\'s shadow or wait until after the shadow phases are over -- that would be <strong>May 3rd</strong> in this case ;-)\n\nOf course, if there is something that <i>must</i> get done during these phases, don\'t put your whole life on hold, just because Mercury is retrograde or in it\'s shadow. Sometimes things line up exactly at the right time; as best as you can, trust that it\'s all \"perfect\" ;-)\n\nAlso on <strong>Thursday late evening, at 11:45pm EST, </strong><i>Jupiter comes to a halt </i>at 23 degrees of <strong>Scorpio</strong>,<b> </b>starting its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. The retrograde phases are inner processes -- they help us connect to a particular energy internally, and thus express it externally (once Jupiter goes direct again). Jupiter retrograde brings a chance to tap inner wisdom, optimism and sense of possibility, and an inner understanding of how the world works. This retrograde phase lasts <b>until July 10th.</b>\n\nDuring this time, we get to choose what we truly believe -- which beliefs serve us and which don\'t -- and we can more easily let go of limiting beliefs and experience new truths. While retrograde in <strong>Scorpio</strong> -- here are some coaching questions:\n\nWhat do I believe about my intimate partnerships? About empowerment? Disempowerment? Deep authentic connections? Where am I making assumptions that do not serve me? What might be holding me back?\n\nThe connection to inner wisdom is heightened. Ask yourself: What do I “just know”? If the answer is “I don’t know”, ask yourself “What if I did know? What mighty it be in that case?”\n\nFeel free to <a href=\"https://youtu.be/JtMJiPnnZWc\">check out my 30-minute excerpt</a> from my webinar about the Jupiter and Mercury Station and Retrograde phases in March: https://youtu.be/JtMJiPnnZWc\n\nAnd if you want to know how that will impact you personally, feel free to buy the whole 90+ min. webinar on the subject --  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a> -- we talked about what to expect for the next 4 weeks, and how it all applies to our own birth charts ;-)\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> 12-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this retrograde phase.

However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.\n\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to March 17th\'s New Moon in <strong>Pisces</strong>. We are thus best served by reviewing projects begun since the last New Moon in mid February (which was also a Solar Eclipse).\n\nWhat -- if anything -- needs adjustments? What did you discover since Feb. 15th? What did it mean for you? As best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-21 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Gemini</i></b><i>, <b>Pisces, </b>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

At 2am, Daylight Saving Time begins in the US, turning the clocks forward an hour -- and so we are moving from EST (Eastern Standard Time) to EDT (Eastern Daylight Saving Time) until November.\n\n<strong>Sunday very early morning, </strong><em>a challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:00am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (March 13th). </strong>This aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature. Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\n\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce.\n\nAsk yourself: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps?\n\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to your passions, while remaining committed to exploring them one step at a time. What is my life calling me to explore? Could I go for it (one step at a time)?\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Saturn rules Capricorn).</i>\n\n<strong>Sunday morning, </strong><em>a harmonious Mars/Uranus aspect </em>becomes exact at 7:23am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday on; it will remain strong until next week Friday (March 16th). </strong>This aspect signals a time when our energy level is much higher than usual -- among other effects, we may find we can work for long hours without fatigue, or feel \"driven\", especially in new and unusual directions.\n\nIt could be that we receive backing from unusual sources. In general, our efforts are successful and we scale new heights of originality. As best as you can, stay open to new and unexpected things. Highly recommended: Group activities, group causes and connecting to like-minded people from all over the world.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or one or more personal planets) in the following: 23-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Aries,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Leo, </i></b><i>or </i><i>0 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler Aries; Uranus rules Aquarius)</i>\n\nAlso on <strong>Sunday morning, </strong><em>an opportune Sun/Pluto aspect </em>becomes exact at 7:56am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until Monday night. </strong>This is an opportunity to bring a sense of compassion and creativity to whatever needs restructuring or rebuilding in our lives.\n\nIt’s also an opportunity to notice how obsessed we’ve become about manifesting something real/authentic and soften our approach a little. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to make something of it.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i>\n\n<strong>A heads up for next Monday (March 12th):</strong> <i>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><strong> until 6:44pm EDT</strong> (See Saturday very early morning for details). <strong>At 11:36am EDT,</strong> we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 6:44pm EDT</strong>. <strong>At that time</strong>, <em>the Moon moves into <strong>Aquarius</strong></em>, where it will journey<strong> until Thursday morning</strong>.

On Thursday, Mercury enters its shadow phase and Jupiter comes to a complete halt as it starts its 4-month retrograde phase. Lastly, on Friday morning, the last Quarter Moon in Sagittarius becomes exact.\r\n\r\nThere will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Monday very early morning (for a little over 7.5 hours), Wednesday very early morning (for a little over 13 hours), and Friday late evening (for almost 7.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (March 5th):</strong> <em>The Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong> until 8:23am EST</strong>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday very early morning at 1:19am EST, </strong>we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&amp;q=https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1519834911779000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGFGZ17skEnKIsKbpcRC91A0HqnJA\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7.5 hours, <strong>until 8:23am EST</strong>. If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it to examine your one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday morning ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 8:23am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday early evening</strong>.<b> </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 6th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b>(see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 2:34am EST</strong>, <i>Mercury changes signs from dreamy, creative</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>to enthusiastic, direct</i> <b><i>Aries. </i></b>It will journey through this courageous sign, for an unusually long time, <b>until </b><b>May 13th</b> (due to its 3-week retrograde phase that starts on March 22nd).<i> </i>During this time, our thinking speeds up, and we are eager for new endeavors.\r\n\r\nGiven that we want to achieve our goals as quickly as possible, we may come off impulsive and impatient, and must therefore speak (and get answers) faster. Nothing stands in our way now: we are ready, we are brave, we want what we want and we want it now ;-)\r\n\r\nAs you can perhaps imagine, we need to watch out for blurting things out prematurely or inappropriately; as best you can, choose your words carefully and pause before responding ;-)\r\n\r\nRemember, everyone else is feeling the Aries energy quite strongly too, so do your best to not take it personally if someone ignores what you want, or says something insensitive. Keep the focus on yourself instead -- and take responsibility for how you are communicating or expressing yourself.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel especially chatty for the next 9 weeks. Your mental energy will be quite active and you feel the need to connect to others -- whether it be in person, via email, over the phone or via social media. New ideas and new connections are very likely. </i>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel a tremendous energy burst for the next 9 weeks: really enthusiastic and physically strong.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:45pm EST, </strong><i>Venus changes signs from intuitive, creative, </i><i>dreamy </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> to fast-paced, enthusiastic, active </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>,</i><i> </i>where it will journey <strong>until March 31st. </strong>Until then, we are going to feel passionate about connecting to others. We are ready to make a new start: if you are single, this could be a great chance to start something new (all things being equal ;-)\r\n\r\nWith Venus in <strong>Aries</strong>, spontaneity and independence are important to us. You’re not the only one who likes a challenge, so don\'t make it too easy for others to win you over ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you are already in a committed relationship, you get a wonderful chance to bring freshness and excitement to your bedroom and \"other parts of the house\" ;-) We also have more energy than usual; we are more likely to want to get out of the house, and be active with others.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, beauty and love will enter your life during this time, you will feel more attractive and you will attract things to you. As a </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i>, you will feel more energized, passionate and more direct than usual.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 7th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><strong><b><i>Scorpio</i></b></strong><strong> until 5:03pm EST</strong> (see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 3:55am EST</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 13 hours, <strong>until 5:03pm EST</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with others on a deep emotional level, and explore greater truths about your ability to make those authentic connections.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday morning and afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 5:03pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i>, </b>where it will journey<i> <strong>until Saturday early morning</strong></i><b>. </b>We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things. This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Friday morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 8th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b></strong> (see Wednesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday around 11pm EST, </strong><i>Mercury enters a 3-week shadow phase</i><i>, as it reaches 4 degrees and 47 minutes of </i><b><i>Aries. </i></b>This precedes the retrograde phase, which will begin on March 22nd in almost 17 degrees of <b>Aries</b> (more on that in 3 weeks).\r\n\r\nSo what is the \"shadow phase\"? To explain this, I\'ll quickly cover what happens when a planet \"stations\" and then goes \"retrograde\".\r\n\r\nRelative to us on Earth, a planet sometimes looks like it is slowing down (\"stationing\"), then stopping. After being still for a while, it actually appears to go \"backward\" through the sky (this is the \"retrograde\" phase). It\'s a little like catching up to a car on the highway, driving exactly alongside it for a moment, then passing it and pulling ahead.\r\n\r\nAt first, retrograde movement is slow, but the planet gradually reaches its normal pace through the sky -- except it\'s going backward. The process then reverses itself: the backward pace slows, the planet crawls to a \"halt\", then it starts to move forward again (i.e. it goes direct). In our car analogy, it\'s like the car you just passed gradually speeds up and passes you again.\r\n\r\nThere are also two \"shadow\" phases -- during these, the planet travels over a part of the sky it will later \"revisit\". The first \"shadow\" comes before the planet moves backward; the second comes when the planet starts to catch back up (after going direct).\r\n\r\nIt\'s like you went hiking and left something behind at camp. If you went back to get it, you\'d have some catching up to do, and would see the same scenery twice or more.\r\n\r\nMercury\'s shadow phases usually last 2-3 weeks before and after the Retrograde phase.\r\n\r\nIf you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items -- especially connected to transportation (cars, airline tickets, etc.) or communication devices (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) -- be aware of the shadow periods as well as the retrograde phases. If possible, get these things done before Mercury enters it\'s shadow or wait until after the shadow phases are over -- that would be <strong>May 3rd</strong> in this case ;-)\r\n\r\nOf course, if there is something that <i>must</i> get done during these phases, don\'t put your whole life on hold, just because Mercury is retrograde or in it\'s shadow. Sometimes things line up exactly at the right time; as best as you can, trust that it\'s all \"perfect\" ;-)\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Thursday late evening, at 11:45pm EST, </strong><i>Jupiter comes to a halt </i>at 23 degrees of <strong>Scorpio</strong>,<b> </b>starting its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. The retrograde phases are inner processes -- they help us connect to a particular energy internally, and thus express it externally (once Jupiter goes direct again). Jupiter retrograde brings a chance to tap inner wisdom, optimism and sense of possibility, and an inner understanding of how the world works. This retrograde phase lasts <b>until July 10th.</b>\r\n\r\nDuring this time, we get to choose what we truly believe -- which beliefs serve us and which don\'t -- and we can more easily let go of limiting beliefs and experience new truths. While retrograde in <strong>Scorpio</strong> -- here are some coaching questions:\r\n\r\nWhat do I believe about my intimate partnerships? About empowerment? Disempowerment? Deep authentic connections? Where am I making assumptions that do not serve me? What might be holding me back?\r\n\r\nThe connection to inner wisdom is heightened. Ask yourself: What do I “just know”? If the answer is “I don’t know”, ask yourself “What if I did know? What mighty it be in that case?”\r\n\r\nFeel free to <a href=\"https://youtu.be/JtMJiPnnZWc\">check out my 30-minute excerpt</a> from my webinar about the Jupiter and Mercury Station and Retrograde phases in March: https://youtu.be/JtMJiPnnZWc\r\n\r\nAnd if you want to know how that will impact you personally, feel free to buy the whole 90+ min. webinar on the subject --  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a> -- we talked about what to expect for the next 4 weeks, and how it all applies to our own birth charts ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> 12-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this retrograde phase. This is also true for those of us who have our</i><i> Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter rules Sagittarius, so Sagittarius will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (March 9th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b> </strong>(see Wednesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 6:20am EST, </strong><i>the last Quarter Moon in almost 19 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b> will be exact.<b> </b>The Moon in adventurous, truth-seeking <b>Sagittarius</b> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in sensitive, dreamy, compassionate<b> Pisces. </b>This may bring up some challenges. However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to March 17th\'s New Moon in <strong>Pisces</strong>. We are thus best served by reviewing projects begun since the last New Moon in mid February (which was also a Solar Eclipse).\r\n\r\nWhat -- if anything -- needs adjustments? What did you discover since Feb. 15th? What did it mean for you? As best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-21 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Gemini</i></b><i>, <b>Pisces, </b>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s last Quarter Moon.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 9:27pm EST</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for almost 7.5 hours, <strong>until at 4:52am EST (Saturday early morning)</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self — explore, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday night and Saturday early morning ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 10th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b></strong>and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><strong> until 4:52am EST </strong>(see Wednesday late afternoon and Friday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 4:52am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Monday morning (March 12th)</strong><b>. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Starting tomorrow</strong> (Sunday, March 11th), my <em>Weekly Forecast</em> and <em>Full Moon videos</em> are only going to be available to my new online community. <b>For a limited time only,</b> you can continue receiving all of the wonderful forecasts uninterrupted, for the price of a Cappuccino!

Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to your passions, while remaining committed to exploring them one step at a time.

On Thursday, Mercury enters its shadow phase and Jupiter comes to a complete halt as it starts its 4-month retrograde phase. Lastly, on Friday morning, the last Quarter Moon in Sagittarius becomes exact.\r\n\r\nThere will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Monday very early morning (for a little over 7.5 hours), Wednesday very early morning (for a little over 13 hours), and Friday late evening (for almost 7.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (March 5th):</strong> <em>The Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong> until 8:23am EST</strong>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday very early morning at 1:19am EST, </strong>we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&amp;q=https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1519834911779000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGFGZ17skEnKIsKbpcRC91A0HqnJA\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7.5 hours, <strong>until 8:23am EST</strong>. If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it to examine your one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday morning ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 8:23am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday early evening</strong>.<b> </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 6th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b>(see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 2:34am EST</strong>, <i>Mercury changes signs from dreamy, creative</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>to enthusiastic, direct</i> <b><i>Aries. </i></b>It will journey through this courageous sign, for an unusually long time, <b>until </b><b>May 13th</b> (due to its 3-week retrograde phase that starts on March 22nd).<i> </i>During this time, our thinking speeds up, and we are eager for new endeavors.\r\n\r\nGiven that we want to achieve our goals as quickly as possible, we may come off impulsive and impatient, and must therefore speak (and get answers) faster. Nothing stands in our way now: we are ready, we are brave, we want what we want and we want it now ;-)\r\n\r\nAs you can perhaps imagine, we need to watch out for blurting things out prematurely or inappropriately; as best you can, choose your words carefully and pause before responding ;-)\r\n\r\nRemember, everyone else is feeling the Aries energy quite strongly too, so do your best to not take it personally if someone ignores what you want, or says something insensitive. Keep the focus on yourself instead -- and take responsibility for how you are communicating or expressing yourself.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel especially chatty for the next 9 weeks. Your mental energy will be quite active and you feel the need to connect to others -- whether it be in person, via email, over the phone or via social media. New ideas and new connections are very likely. </i>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel a tremendous energy burst for the next 9 weeks: really enthusiastic and physically strong.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:45pm EST, </strong><i>Venus changes signs from intuitive, creative, </i><i>dreamy </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> to fast-paced, enthusiastic, active </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>,</i><i> </i>where it will journey <strong>until March 31st. </strong>Until then, we are going to feel passionate about connecting to others. We are ready to make a new start: if you are single, this could be a great chance to start something new (all things being equal ;-)\r\n\r\nWith Venus in <strong>Aries</strong>, spontaneity and independence are important to us. You’re not the only one who likes a challenge, so don\'t make it too easy for others to win you over ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you are already in a committed relationship, you get a wonderful chance to bring freshness and excitement to your bedroom and \"other parts of the house\" ;-) We also have more energy than usual; we are more likely to want to get out of the house, and be active with others.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, beauty and love will enter your life during this time, you will feel more attractive and you will attract things to you. As a </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i>, you will feel more energized, passionate and more direct than usual.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 7th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><strong><b><i>Scorpio</i></b></strong><strong> until 5:03pm EST</strong> (see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 3:55am EST</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 13 hours, <strong>until 5:03pm EST</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with others on a deep emotional level, and explore greater truths about your ability to make those authentic connections.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday morning and afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 5:03pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i>, </b>where it will journey<i> <strong>until Saturday early morning</strong></i><b>. </b>We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things. This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Friday morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 8th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b></strong> (see Wednesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday around 11pm EST, </strong><i>Mercury enters a 3-week shadow phase</i><i>, as it reaches 4 degrees and 47 minutes of </i><b><i>Aries. </i></b>This precedes the retrograde phase, which will begin on March 22nd in almost 17 degrees of <b>Aries</b> (more on that in 3 weeks).\r\n\r\nSo what is the \"shadow phase\"? To explain this, I\'ll quickly cover what happens when a planet \"stations\" and then goes \"retrograde\".\r\n\r\nRelative to us on Earth, a planet sometimes looks like it is slowing down (\"stationing\"), then stopping. After being still for a while, it actually appears to go \"backward\" through the sky (this is the \"retrograde\" phase). It\'s a little like catching up to a car on the highway, driving exactly alongside it for a moment, then passing it and pulling ahead.\r\n\r\nAt first, retrograde movement is slow, but the planet gradually reaches its normal pace through the sky -- except it\'s going backward. The process then reverses itself: the backward pace slows, the planet crawls to a \"halt\", then it starts to move forward again (i.e. it goes direct). In our car analogy, it\'s like the car you just passed gradually speeds up and passes you again.\r\n\r\nThere are also two \"shadow\" phases -- during these, the planet travels over a part of the sky it will later \"revisit\". The first \"shadow\" comes before the planet moves backward; the second comes when the planet starts to catch back up (after going direct).\r\n\r\nIt\'s like you went hiking and left something behind at camp. If you went back to get it, you\'d have some catching up to do, and would see the same scenery twice or more.\r\n\r\nMercury\'s shadow phases usually last 2-3 weeks before and after the Retrograde phase.\r\n\r\nIf you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items -- especially connected to transportation (cars, airline tickets, etc.) or communication devices (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) -- be aware of the shadow periods as well as the retrograde phases. If possible, get these things done before Mercury enters it\'s shadow or wait until after the shadow phases are over -- that would be <strong>May 3rd</strong> in this case ;-)\r\n\r\nOf course, if there is something that <i>must</i> get done during these phases, don\'t put your whole life on hold, just because Mercury is retrograde or in it\'s shadow. Sometimes things line up exactly at the right time; as best as you can, trust that it\'s all \"perfect\" ;-)\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Thursday late evening, at 11:45pm EST, </strong><i>Jupiter comes to a halt </i>at 23 degrees of <strong>Scorpio</strong>,<b> </b>starting its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. The retrograde phases are inner processes -- they help us connect to a particular energy internally, and thus express it externally (once Jupiter goes direct again). Jupiter retrograde brings a chance to tap inner wisdom, optimism and sense of possibility, and an inner understanding of how the world works. This retrograde phase lasts <b>until July 10th.</b>\r\n\r\nDuring this time, we get to choose what we truly believe -- which beliefs serve us and which don\'t -- and we can more easily let go of limiting beliefs and experience new truths. While retrograde in <strong>Scorpio</strong> -- here are some coaching questions:\r\n\r\nWhat do I believe about my intimate partnerships? About empowerment? Disempowerment? Deep authentic connections? Where am I making assumptions that do not serve me? What might be holding me back?\r\n\r\nThe connection to inner wisdom is heightened. Ask yourself: What do I “just know”? If the answer is “I don’t know”, ask yourself “What if I did know? What mighty it be in that case?”\r\n\r\nFeel free to <a href=\"https://youtu.be/JtMJiPnnZWc\">check out my 30-minute excerpt</a> from my webinar about the Jupiter and Mercury Station and Retrograde phases in March: https://youtu.be/JtMJiPnnZWc\r\n\r\nAnd if you want to know how that will impact you personally, feel free to buy the whole 90+ min. webinar on the subject --  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a> -- we talked about what to expect for the next 4 weeks, and how it all applies to our own birth charts ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> 12-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this retrograde phase. This is also true for those of us who have our</i><i> Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter rules Sagittarius, so Sagittarius will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (March 9th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b> </strong>(see Wednesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 6:20am EST, </strong><i>the last Quarter Moon in almost 19 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b> will be exact.<b> </b>The Moon in adventurous, truth-seeking <b>Sagittarius</b> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in sensitive, dreamy, compassionate<b> Pisces. </b>This may bring up some challenges. However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to March 17th\'s New Moon in <strong>Pisces</strong>. We are thus best served by reviewing projects begun since the last New Moon in mid February (which was also a Solar Eclipse).\r\n\r\nWhat -- if anything -- needs adjustments? What did you discover since Feb. 15th? What did it mean for you? As best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-21 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Gemini</i></b><i>, <b>Pisces, </b>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s last Quarter Moon.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 9:27pm EST</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for almost 7.5 hours, <strong>until at 4:52am EST (Saturday early morning)</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self — explore, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday night and Saturday early morning ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 10th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b></strong>and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><strong> until 4:52am EST </strong>(see Wednesday late afternoon and Friday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 4:52am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Monday morning (March 12th)</strong><b>. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 11th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</i><b><i> Capricorn </i>all day </b>(see Saturday early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning, </strong><em>a challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:00am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (March 13th). </strong>This aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature. Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to your passions, while remaining committed to exploring them one step at a time. What is my life calling me to explore? Could I go for it (one step at a time)?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

On Thursday, Mercury enters its shadow phase and Jupiter comes to a complete halt as it starts its 4-month retrograde phase. Lastly, on Friday morning, the last Quarter Moon in Sagittarius becomes exact.\r\n\r\nThere will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Monday very early morning (for a little over 7.5 hours), Wednesday very early morning (for a little over 13 hours), and Friday late evening (for almost 7.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (March 5th):</strong> <em>The Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong> until 8:23am EST</strong>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday very early morning at 1:19am EST, </strong>we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&amp;q=https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1519834911779000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGFGZ17skEnKIsKbpcRC91A0HqnJA\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7.5 hours, <strong>until 8:23am EST</strong>. If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it to examine your one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday morning ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 8:23am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday early evening</strong>.<b> </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 6th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b>(see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 2:34am EST</strong>, <i>Mercury changes signs from dreamy, creative</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>to enthusiastic, direct</i> <b><i>Aries. </i></b>It will journey through this courageous sign, for an unusually long time, <b>until </b><b>May 13th</b> (due to its 3-week retrograde phase that starts on March 22nd).<i> </i>During this time, our thinking speeds up, and we are eager for new endeavors.\r\n\r\nGiven that we want to achieve our goals as quickly as possible, we may come off impulsive and impatient, and must therefore speak (and get answers) faster. Nothing stands in our way now: we are ready, we are brave, we want what we want and we want it now ;-)\r\n\r\nAs you can perhaps imagine, we need to watch out for blurting things out prematurely or inappropriately; as best you can, choose your words carefully and pause before responding ;-)\r\n\r\nRemember, everyone else is feeling the Aries energy quite strongly too, so do your best to not take it personally if someone ignores what you want, or says something insensitive. Keep the focus on yourself instead -- and take responsibility for how you are communicating or expressing yourself.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel especially chatty for the next 9 weeks. Your mental energy will be quite active and you feel the need to connect to others -- whether it be in person, via email, over the phone or via social media. New ideas and new connections are very likely. </i>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel a tremendous energy burst for the next 9 weeks: really enthusiastic and physically strong.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:45pm EST, </strong><i>Venus changes signs from intuitive, creative, </i><i>dreamy </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> to fast-paced, enthusiastic, active </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>,</i><i> </i>where it will journey <strong>until March 31st. </strong>Until then, we are going to feel passionate about connecting to others. We are ready to make a new start: if you are single, this could be a great chance to start something new (all things being equal ;-)\r\n\r\nWith Venus in <strong>Aries</strong>, spontaneity and independence are important to us. You’re not the only one who likes a challenge, so don\'t make it too easy for others to win you over ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you are already in a committed relationship, you get a wonderful chance to bring freshness and excitement to your bedroom and \"other parts of the house\" ;-) We also have more energy than usual; we are more likely to want to get out of the house, and be active with others.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, beauty and love will enter your life during this time, you will feel more attractive and you will attract things to you. As a </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i>, you will feel more energized, passionate and more direct than usual.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 7th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><strong><b><i>Scorpio</i></b></strong><strong> until 5:03pm EST</strong> (see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 3:55am EST</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 13 hours, <strong>until 5:03pm EST</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with others on a deep emotional level, and explore greater truths about your ability to make those authentic connections.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday morning and afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 5:03pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i>, </b>where it will journey<i> <strong>until Saturday early morning</strong></i><b>. </b>We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things. This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Friday morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 8th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b></strong> (see Wednesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday around 11pm EST, </strong><i>Mercury enters a 3-week shadow phase</i><i>, as it reaches 4 degrees and 47 minutes of </i><b><i>Aries. </i></b>This precedes the retrograde phase, which will begin on March 22nd in almost 17 degrees of <b>Aries</b> (more on that in 3 weeks).\r\n\r\nSo what is the \"shadow phase\"? To explain this, I\'ll quickly cover what happens when a planet \"stations\" and then goes \"retrograde\".\r\n\r\nRelative to us on Earth, a planet sometimes looks like it is slowing down (\"stationing\"), then stopping. After being still for a while, it actually appears to go \"backward\" through the sky (this is the \"retrograde\" phase). It\'s a little like catching up to a car on the highway, driving exactly alongside it for a moment, then passing it and pulling ahead.\r\n\r\nAt first, retrograde movement is slow, but the planet gradually reaches its normal pace through the sky -- except it\'s going backward. The process then reverses itself: the backward pace slows, the planet crawls to a \"halt\", then it starts to move forward again (i.e. it goes direct). In our car analogy, it\'s like the car you just passed gradually speeds up and passes you again.\r\n\r\nThere are also two \"shadow\" phases -- during these, the planet travels over a part of the sky it will later \"revisit\". The first \"shadow\" comes before the planet moves backward; the second comes when the planet starts to catch back up (after going direct).\r\n\r\nIt\'s like you went hiking and left something behind at camp. If you went back to get it, you\'d have some catching up to do, and would see the same scenery twice or more.\r\n\r\nMercury\'s shadow phases usually last 2-3 weeks before and after the Retrograde phase.\r\n\r\nIf you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items -- especially connected to transportation (cars, airline tickets, etc.) or communication devices (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) -- be aware of the shadow periods as well as the retrograde phases. If possible, get these things done before Mercury enters it\'s shadow or wait until after the shadow phases are over -- that would be <strong>May 3rd</strong> in this case ;-)\r\n\r\nOf course, if there is something that <i>must</i> get done during these phases, don\'t put your whole life on hold, just because Mercury is retrograde or in it\'s shadow. Sometimes things line up exactly at the right time; as best as you can, trust that it\'s all \"perfect\" ;-)\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Thursday late evening, at 11:45pm EST, </strong><i>Jupiter comes to a halt </i>at 23 degrees of <strong>Scorpio</strong>,<b> </b>starting its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. The retrograde phases are inner processes -- they help us connect to a particular energy internally, and thus express it externally (once Jupiter goes direct again). Jupiter retrograde brings a chance to tap inner wisdom, optimism and sense of possibility, and an inner understanding of how the world works. This retrograde phase lasts <b>until July 10th.</b>\r\n\r\nDuring this time, we get to choose what we truly believe -- which beliefs serve us and which don\'t -- and we can more easily let go of limiting beliefs and experience new truths. While retrograde in <strong>Scorpio</strong> -- here are some coaching questions:\r\n\r\nWhat do I believe about my intimate partnerships? About empowerment? Disempowerment? Deep authentic connections? Where am I making assumptions that do not serve me? What might be holding me back?\r\n\r\nThe connection to inner wisdom is heightened. Ask yourself: What do I “just know”? If the answer is “I don’t know”, ask yourself “What if I did know? What mighty it be in that case?”\r\n\r\nFeel free to <a href=\"https://youtu.be/JtMJiPnnZWc\">check out my 30-minute excerpt</a> from my webinar about the Jupiter and Mercury Station and Retrograde phases in March: https://youtu.be/JtMJiPnnZWc\r\n\r\nAnd if you want to know how that will impact you personally, feel free to buy the whole 90+ min. webinar on the subject --  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a> -- we talked about what to expect for the next 4 weeks, and how it all applies to our own birth charts ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> 12-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this retrograde phase. This is also true for those of us who have our</i><i> Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter rules Sagittarius, so Sagittarius will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (March 9th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b> </strong>(see Wednesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 6:20am EST, </strong><i>the last Quarter Moon in almost 19 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b> will be exact.<b> </b>The Moon in adventurous, truth-seeking <b>Sagittarius</b> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in sensitive, dreamy, compassionate<b> Pisces. </b>This may bring up some challenges. However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to March 17th\'s New Moon in <strong>Pisces</strong>. We are thus best served by reviewing projects begun since the last New Moon in mid February (which was also a Solar Eclipse).\r\n\r\nWhat -- if anything -- needs adjustments? What did you discover since Feb. 15th? What did it mean for you? As best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-21 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Gemini</i></b><i>, <b>Pisces, </b>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s last Quarter Moon.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 9:27pm EST</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for almost 7.5 hours, <strong>until at 4:52am EST (Saturday early morning)</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self — explore, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday night and Saturday early morning ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 10th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b></strong>and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><strong> until 4:52am EST </strong>(see Wednesday late afternoon and Friday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 4:52am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Monday morning (March 12th)</strong><b>. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 11th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</i><b><i> Capricorn </i>all day </b>(see Saturday early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning, </strong><em>a challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:00am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (March 13th). </strong>This aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature. Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps?\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">As best as you can, find creative ways to connect to your passions, while remaining committed to exploring them one step at a time. What is my life calling me to explore? Could I go for it, while taking it one step at a time?</span>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

In general, our efforts are successful and we scale new heights of originality. As best as you can, stay open to new and unexpected things. Highly recommended: Group activities, group causes and connecting to like-minded people from all over the world.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or one or more personal planets) in the following: 23-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Aries,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Leo, </i></b><i>or </i><i>0 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>?

If you\'d like to learn how these major two planetary shifts might impact you personally, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/chiron-in-aries-uranus-in-taurus-until-2026-15-minute-excerpt/\">you may want to catch this free 15-min excerpt… from my recent Forum...</a>\r\n<blockquote><i>“</i><i>SUPER-GREAT Forum Sonja - I learned sooo much - can\'t wait to re-listen - thank you!!!”</i><i> </i>— Mary Beth W.</blockquote>\r\nTo watch the whole 120 min. webinar... <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">click here</a>\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: the last Quarter Moon in Aquarius becomes exact on Monday and the Balsamic Moon phase begins Friday. Mars enters its shadow phase on Saturday, and Mercury changes signs from Aries to Taurus on Sunday.\r\n\r\nThere will be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: Tuesday late evening (for almost 1 hour), Friday early morning (for a little over 3.5 hours), and Sunday afternoon (for 10 minutes).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (May 7th)</strong>:<em> the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking</em> <strong><em>Aquarius</em> all day</strong>. It will journey there <b>until Tuesday late evening. </b>The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount. With this Moon placement we can feel already the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Monday late evening).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:52am EDT.<strong> We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday afternoon (May 5th) on, it will remain strong until this Wednesday afternoon (May 9th). </strong>This aspect creates some tension in our lives.

We are being asked to<b> </b>find creative solutions and be completely honest with ourselves and others. The best way to achieve this is by the continual practice of self-care and self-nurturing.\r\n\r\nWe have tremendous focus and drive right now, which can tip into obsession. With this aspect an all-or-nothing attitude is very likely. Choose love over fear whenever possible. Not many people enjoy being second-guessed all the time, yet that is something that we are inclined to do now.\r\n\r\nHowever, our determination to get to the bottom of any matter, to rip away falsehoods and expose true motives, can be used for good if we employ it in our work, for example, in regards to investigations or research. This is an opportunity to learn to harness our intense mental energy and apply it productively. We are also capable of very hard work, focus and effort now.\r\n\r\nWe have a great love of debate, but should be careful that we don\'t overpower others with our strong opinions, attempting to \"convert\" them to our frame of mind, or treat regular exchanges of opinion as battlegrounds. Connect to yourself and others, empowering yourself/them with what you feel passionate about.\r\n\r\nChoose your words/thoughts carefully, from a deeply connected and empowered place rather than from a place of fear, self-protection or a need for survival.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>18-24 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early evening</strong>, a challenging Venus/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 5:58pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday morning (May 5th) on, it will remain strong until this Thursday morning (May 10th).</strong> We can be confused, unrealistic, or overly idealistic around love and money -- so it\'s best to wait until the transit is over, before making big moves in these areas -- if you make long-term financial investments, buy or sell big-ticket items, or start brand-new relationships, it\'s likely you will not see things as they truly are.\r\n\r\nWe are actually being asked to have faith; to let our intuition guide us in money and love -- if we are able to do this, we will grow through it. As best as you can, be compassionate with yourself and others during these 5 days -- it might also help to know that relationships and endeavors of a spiritual or artistic nature can move forward at this time.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>13-19 degrees</em></i></span><span class=\"s1\"><i> of</i> <b><i>Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

The Moon in <strong>Aquarius</strong> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in <strong>Taurus</strong>. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Aquarius last Sunday morning (May 6th). </strong><span class=\"s2\"><i> </i>This may bring challenges; however, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.</span>\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to May 15th\'s New Moon in <strong>Taurus</strong>. With the last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us to take a look at what needs to be completed. What -- if anything -- needs last-minute adjustments? What did you discover since April 15th? What did it mean for you? What actions could shift the things you seeded or started in mid-late April?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 15-20 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Aquarius, Leo </strong>or<strong> Scorpio</strong>? If so, you will feel this month\'s last Quarter Moon quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in <strong>Leo </strong>or<strong> Cancer</strong> (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (May 8th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking</em> <strong><em>Aquarius</em> until 11:11pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for more details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late evening</strong>, <em>a Sun/Jupiter opposition</em> becomes exact at 8:39pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday morning (May 5th) on, it will remain strong until this Friday evening (May 11th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This aspect can bring an opportunity to open up our consciousness through other people. As best as you can, expand your perspectives about intimate relationships, other people\'s resources and be open to bringing some optimism to those areas of your life.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The urge to grow and expand is strong, but we might overreach -- and hasty actions could backfire. As best as you can, don’t expect too much from others or yourself; avoid over-promising, and create deeper connections whenever you can. Use humor :-)</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Projects or ambitions may come to a culmination point, or undergo surprising changes; ask yourself: What insights am I receiving? Where can I go from here? What if I walked in their shoes, just for a moment? Where would I walk to? </span></p>\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in<em>15-22 degrees</em> of <b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more affected by this opposition.This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 10:29pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for almost an hour, <strong>until 11:11pm EDT</strong>. <span class=\"s1\">Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.</span>\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC,</a> as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday late evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 11:11pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters creative, sensitive <strong>Pisces</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Friday morning. </strong><span class=\"s1\">This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.</span>\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 9th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive</em><strong><em> Pisces</em> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:36pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning (May 8th) on, it will remain strong until Thursday morning (May 10th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed in order to see what needs adjusting.</span>\r\n\r\nThis aspect is a fork in the road. We could take the path of learning about inner dialog and sharing ourselves with others by being open and curious -- or, we could take the path that leads to increased understanding of intimacy and resources that are shared with others.\r\n\r\nEither way, we can develop a new perspective on how to approach these things. Awareness is key with this aspect: What is needed? How can we serve the broader view?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>17-19 degrees</em> of <b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (May 10th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive</em> <strong>Pisces all day</strong> (see Tuesday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early morning,</strong> <span class=\"s1\">we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours.</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday late morning,</strong> a nice feeling of ease and an ability to trust and connect deeply with others. As best as you can, trust your intuitive sensing right now, allow whatever comes up to be beneficial for you.\r\n\r\nThursday early afternoon: we feel a need to go within -- and also want to connect and learn from others. This tension clearly invites us to stretch a little and resolve it through creative solutions -- the key here is to listen to our intuition, so we don\'t drive ourselves or others crazy.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Thursday afternoon: </strong>we get an opportunity to be very present; also to connect with others and share practical advice, or simply enjoy \"the good things in life\". As best as you can, bring a sense of flow and faith to who you are being, and allow yourself to slow down and connect with nature.</span></p>\r\nThursday late afternoon, we have the opportunity to be guided by inspiration, and fully commit to a project or task that might serve us long-term. As best as you can, listen and trust to the subtle messages in your heart, that stir you towards success.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (May 11th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive</em> <strong>Pisces</strong> <strong>until 8:40am EDT</strong> (see Tuesday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 5:02am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for a little over 3.5 hours, <strong>until 8:40am EDT. </strong><span class=\"s1\">If you are awake during this intuitive time, take the opportunity to go within and listen to your subtle intuitive \"voice\" -- your heart -- then focus anew on your long-term goals.</span>\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday early morning and morning ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 8:40am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters pioneering, fast-paced <strong>Aries</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday afternoon</strong>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday evening</strong>, <em>a harmonious Sun/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 7:10pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning (May 8th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening (May 14th). This aspect brings a sense of focus and empowerment to our long-term goals. We have the ability to look at everything in a very down-to-earth manner right now; through our understanding of \"what is and what is not\", we can make more powerful choices.</strong>\r\n\r\nWe can also deepen our understanding of our own motivations and look closely at where we are heading. This aspect also brings an intensity and a depth to our conscious awareness; therefore this is also a great time to transform our lives, stripping away anything -- even people -- that no longer connect with who we are.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How can I live more authentically? Is there anything holding me back? What fears and attachments could I release now, that no longer serve my evolution? Am I willing to let them go, just for now, and just as best as I can?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>18-24 degrees</em> of <b><i>Taurus, Capricorn</i></b><i> or <b>Virgo</b></i><i>? If so, you will be even more blessed by this aspect than those who do not; this is also true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (the Sun being the ruler of Leo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late evening, </strong><em>the Balsamic Moon phase begins, when the Moon reaches 9.5 degrees of <strong>Aries. </strong></em><span class=\"s1\">This lasts <b>until Tuesday morning</b>, when the New Moon in <b>Taurus </b>becomes exact (for those of you who are impatiently waiting for my New Moon video, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"><span class=\"s2\">click here</span></a> after May 10th). We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our intuition.</span>\r\n\r\nFor some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes. This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday night</strong> (Saturday very early morning), <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:05am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening (May 10th) on, it will remain strong until Saturday evening (May 12th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice… so we need to develop inner awareness.</span>\r\n\r\nFear of disappointment is causing some tension. Our inner need for growth requires honesty about what is causing those fears -- most likely our own lack of good boundaries and self-esteem. Watch out for getting pulled into overly burdensome roles in other people\'s lives, because you feel it is required of you, this can often be a path into \"control issues\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, carefully examine your motivations and self-image: How do you feel about your ability to communicate, share yourself and connect on a deep emotional level? What role does fear play in all of this?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>20-22 degrees Gemini <i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i></em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (May 12th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced</em> <strong>Aries</strong> <strong>all day</strong> (see Friday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday late morning</strong>,<em> a challenging Mercury/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 9:30am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday (May 10th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening (May 14th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">Due to the recent Mercury Retrograde phase, we get to experience this aspect several times; this is the third and last pass within the last 10 weeks. </span>\r\n\r\n<span class=\"s1\">This gives us a chance to address our approach toward any misunderstandings. </span><span class=\"s1\">This aspect<i> </i></span><span class=\"s2\">brings some juicy energy to our conversations. This is a chance to have some discussions that have been overdue. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">As best as you can, make it a productive discussion that serves you and others -- a win-win -- otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards. Also, watch out on the road for some crazy drivers… rushing might not necessarily get you there faster ;-) </span></p>\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in the following: 25-29 degrees of<strong> Aries, </strong><strong>Capricorn</strong>,<strong> Libra, Cancer,</strong> or 0-1 degree of <b>Taurus, Aquarius, Scorpio </b>or<b> Leo</b>?<span class=\"s3\"><i> </i></span><span class=\"s2\"><i>If so, you may feel more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries)</i></span>\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Saturday, </strong><em>Mars enters its 6.5-week shadow phase, when it reaches 28.5 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong>. </em><span class=\"s1\">This precedes the retrograde phase, which will begin on June 26th in 9 degrees of <b>Aquarius</b> (more on that in 6 weeks).</span>\r\n\r\nSo what is the \"shadow phase\"? To explain this, I\'ll quickly cover what happens when a planet \"stations\" and then goes “retrograde\".\r\n\r\nRelative to us on Earth, a planet sometimes looks like it is slowing down (\"stationing\"), then stopping. After being still for a while, it actually appears to go \"backward\" through the sky (this is the \"retrograde\" phase). It\'s a little like catching up to a car on the highway, driving exactly alongside it for a moment, then passing it and pulling ahead.\r\n\r\nAt first, retrograde movement is slow, but the planet gradually reaches its normal pace through the sky -- except it\'s going backward. The process then reverses itself: the backward pace slows, the planet crawls to a \"halt\", then it starts to move forward again (i.e. it goes direct). In our car analogy, it\'s like the car you just passed gradually speeds up and passes you again.\r\n\r\nThere are also two \"shadow\" phases -- during these, the planet travels over a part of the sky it will later \"revisit\". The first \"shadow\" comes before the planet moves backward; the second comes when the planet starts to catch back up (after going direct).\r\n\r\nIt\'s like you went hiking and left something behind at camp. If you went back to get it, you\'d have some catching up to do, and would see the same scenery twice or more. Mars\'s shadow phases usually last 6-7 weeks before and after the Retrograde phase. Pay attention to what you do or pursue during this time; you may need to revisit or redo them during the Retrograde phase.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 13th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced</em> <strong>Aries until 2:15 EDT</strong> (see Friday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Uranus alignment in 29 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> becomes exact at 6:50am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday morning (May 11th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Tuesday (May 5th).  </strong><span class=\"s1\">With this alignment, an important insight is coming through, something new is preparing to enter consciousness – and we are getting the urge to move forward. We might experience some really unusual conversations. Our mind could be flooded with new information and ideas, and we most likely feel enthusiastic and excited by these fresh ideas and insights.</span>\r\n\r\nIt\'s a time when we could achieve real breakthroughs in the form of ideas, communications, and the mind in general — but coupled with the possibility of edginess and impatience toward those who don’t “get” our new insights. Nervousness, impulsivity and fidgeting could be a by-product of this alignment as well.\r\n\r\nComputers and electronics may suddenly become important. We\'ll likely have flashes of insight into our own mental workings, original thoughts, etc. As best as you can, and as much as you want to, stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body. That way, all that energy can move through you, without shaking you to the core ;-)\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 27-29 degrees of <b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn, </i></b><i>or 0-3 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </strong>or<strong> Aquarius</strong></i><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>  (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Uranus rules Aquarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 8:40am EDT</strong>, Mercury changes signs from<i> </i><span class=\"s1\"><i>enthusiastic, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> to steady, peaceful </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where it will journey<b> until <strong>May 29th</strong></b>.<b> For the next 3 weeks</b>, our thinking shifts gears: we want to connect to others in a realistic, down-to-earth way and we \"say it like it is\". We appreciate common sense; we rely on our senses when it comes to processing information.</span>\r\n\r\nA well-developed sense of color, smell, and touch are characteristic of this Mercury position, so as long as Mercury is in Taurus, we will be drawn towards the \"tasteful\" in the realm of the five senses. We are more likely to have a no-nonsense approach to decision-making, and our ideas are often very practical and useful at this time.\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to learning, we prefer demonstrations, concrete answers, and basic concepts for the next 3 weeks. We learn best when we see real-world uses for the theories we are trying to absorb.

On Thursday, Mercury enters its shadow phase and Jupiter comes to a complete halt as it starts its 4-month retrograde phase. Lastly, on Friday morning, the last Quarter Moon in Sagittarius becomes exact.\r\n\r\nThere will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Monday very early morning (for a little over 7.5 hours), Wednesday very early morning (for a little over 13 hours), and Friday late evening (for almost 7.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (March 5th):</strong> <em>The Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong> until 8:23am EST</strong>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday very early morning at 1:19am EST, </strong>we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&amp;q=https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1519834911779000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGFGZ17skEnKIsKbpcRC91A0HqnJA\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7.5 hours, <strong>until 8:23am EST</strong>. If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it to examine your one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday morning ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 8:23am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday early evening</strong>.<b> </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 6th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b>(see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 2:34am EST</strong>, <i>Mercury changes signs from dreamy, creative</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>to enthusiastic, direct</i> <b><i>Aries. </i></b>It will journey through this courageous sign, for an unusually long time, <b>until </b><b>May 13th</b> (due to its 3-week retrograde phase that starts on March 22nd).<i> </i>During this time, our thinking speeds up, and we are eager for new endeavors.\r\n\r\nGiven that we want to achieve our goals as quickly as possible, we may come off impulsive and impatient, and must therefore speak (and get answers) faster. Nothing stands in our way now: we are ready, we are brave, we want what we want and we want it now ;-)\r\n\r\nAs you can perhaps imagine, we need to watch out for blurting things out prematurely or inappropriately; as best you can, choose your words carefully and pause before responding ;-)\r\n\r\nRemember, everyone else is feeling the Aries energy quite strongly too, so do your best to not take it personally if someone ignores what you want, or says something insensitive. Keep the focus on yourself instead -- and take responsibility for how you are communicating or expressing yourself.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel especially chatty for the next 9 weeks. Your mental energy will be quite active and you feel the need to connect to others -- whether it be in person, via email, over the phone or via social media. New ideas and new connections are very likely. </i>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel a tremendous energy burst for the next 9 weeks: really enthusiastic and physically strong.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:45pm EST, </strong><i>Venus changes signs from intuitive, creative, </i><i>dreamy </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> to fast-paced, enthusiastic, active </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>,</i><i> </i>where it will journey <strong>until March 31st. </strong>Until then, we are going to feel passionate about connecting to others. We are ready to make a new start: if you are single, this could be a great chance to start something new (all things being equal ;-)\r\n\r\nWith Venus in <strong>Aries</strong>, spontaneity and independence are important to us. You’re not the only one who likes a challenge, so don\'t make it too easy for others to win you over ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you are already in a committed relationship, you get a wonderful chance to bring freshness and excitement to your bedroom and \"other parts of the house\" ;-) We also have more energy than usual; we are more likely to want to get out of the house, and be active with others.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, beauty and love will enter your life during this time, you will feel more attractive and you will attract things to you. As a </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i>, you will feel more energized, passionate and more direct than usual.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 7th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><strong><b><i>Scorpio</i></b></strong><strong> until 5:03pm EST</strong> (see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 3:55am EST</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 13 hours, <strong>until 5:03pm EST</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with others on a deep emotional level, and explore greater truths about your ability to make those authentic connections.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday morning and afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 5:03pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i>, </b>where it will journey<i> <strong>until Saturday early morning</strong></i><b>. </b>We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things. This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Friday morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 8th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b></strong> (see Wednesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday around 11pm EST, </strong><i>Mercury enters a 3-week shadow phase</i><i>, as it reaches 4 degrees and 47 minutes of </i><b><i>Aries. </i></b>This precedes the retrograde phase, which will begin on March 22nd in almost 17 degrees of <b>Aries</b> (more on that in 3 weeks).\r\n\r\nSo what is the \"shadow phase\"? To explain this, I\'ll quickly cover what happens when a planet \"stations\" and then goes \"retrograde\".\r\n\r\nRelative to us on Earth, a planet sometimes looks like it is slowing down (\"stationing\"), then stopping. After being still for a while, it actually appears to go \"backward\" through the sky (this is the \"retrograde\" phase). It\'s a little like catching up to a car on the highway, driving exactly alongside it for a moment, then passing it and pulling ahead.\r\n\r\nAt first, retrograde movement is slow, but the planet gradually reaches its normal pace through the sky -- except it\'s going backward. The process then reverses itself: the backward pace slows, the planet crawls to a \"halt\", then it starts to move forward again (i.e. it goes direct). In our car analogy, it\'s like the car you just passed gradually speeds up and passes you again.\r\n\r\nThere are also two \"shadow\" phases -- during these, the planet travels over a part of the sky it will later \"revisit\". The first \"shadow\" comes before the planet moves backward; the second comes when the planet starts to catch back up (after going direct).\r\n\r\nIt\'s like you went hiking and left something behind at camp. If you went back to get it, you\'d have some catching up to do, and would see the same scenery twice or more.\r\n\r\nMercury\'s shadow phases usually last 2-3 weeks before and after the Retrograde phase.\r\n\r\nIf you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items -- especially connected to transportation (cars, airline tickets, etc.) or communication devices (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) -- be aware of the shadow periods as well as the retrograde phases. If possible, get these things done before Mercury enters it\'s shadow or wait until after the shadow phases are over -- that would be <strong>May 3rd</strong> in this case ;-)\r\n\r\nOf course, if there is something that <i>must</i> get done during these phases, don\'t put your whole life on hold, just because Mercury is retrograde or in it\'s shadow. Sometimes things line up exactly at the right time; as best as you can, trust that it\'s all \"perfect\" ;-)\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Thursday late evening, at 11:45pm EST, </strong><i>Jupiter comes to a halt </i>at 23 degrees of <strong>Scorpio</strong>,<b> </b>starting its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. The retrograde phases are inner processes -- they help us connect to a particular energy internally, and thus express it externally (once Jupiter goes direct again). Jupiter retrograde brings a chance to tap inner wisdom, optimism and sense of possibility, and an inner understanding of how the world works. This retrograde phase lasts <b>until July 10th.</b>\r\n\r\nDuring this time, we get to choose what we truly believe -- which beliefs serve us and which don\'t -- and we can more easily let go of limiting beliefs and experience new truths. While retrograde in <strong>Scorpio</strong> -- here are some coaching questions:\r\n\r\nWhat do I believe about my intimate partnerships? About empowerment? Disempowerment? Deep authentic connections? Where am I making assumptions that do not serve me? What might be holding me back?\r\n\r\nThe connection to inner wisdom is heightened. Ask yourself: What do I “just know”? If the answer is “I don’t know”, ask yourself “What if I did know? What mighty it be in that case?”\r\n\r\nFeel free to <a href=\"https://youtu.be/JtMJiPnnZWc\">check out my 30-minute excerpt</a> from my webinar about the Jupiter and Mercury Station and Retrograde phases in March: https://youtu.be/JtMJiPnnZWc\r\n\r\nAnd if you want to know how that will impact you personally, feel free to buy the whole 90+ min. webinar on the subject --  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a> -- we talked about what to expect for the next 4 weeks, and how it all applies to our own birth charts ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> 12-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this retrograde phase. This is also true for those of us who have our</i><i> Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter rules Sagittarius, so Sagittarius will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (March 9th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b> </strong>(see Wednesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 6:20am EST, </strong><i>the last Quarter Moon in almost 19 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b> will be exact.<b> </b>The Moon in adventurous, truth-seeking <b>Sagittarius</b> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in sensitive, dreamy, compassionate<b> Pisces. </b>This may bring up some challenges. However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to March 17th\'s New Moon in <strong>Pisces</strong>. We are thus best served by reviewing projects begun since the last New Moon in mid February (which was also a Solar Eclipse).\r\n\r\nWhat -- if anything -- needs adjustments? What did you discover since Feb. 15th? What did it mean for you? As best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-21 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Gemini</i></b><i>, <b>Pisces, </b>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s last Quarter Moon.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 9:27pm EST</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for almost 7.5 hours, <strong>until at 4:52am EST (Saturday early morning)</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self — explore, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday night and Saturday early morning ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 10th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b></strong>and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><strong> until 4:52am EST </strong>(see Wednesday late afternoon and Friday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 4:52am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Monday morning (March 12th)</strong><b>. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Starting tomorrow</strong> (Sunday, March 11th), my <em>Weekly Forecast</em> and <em>Full Moon videos</em> are only going to be available to my new online community. <b>For a limited time only,</b> you can continue receiving all of the wonderful forecasts uninterrupted, for the price of a Cappuccino!

Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to your passions, while remaining committed to exploring them one step at a time. What is my life calling me to explore? Could I go for it (one step at a time)?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Saturn rules Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning, </strong><em>a harmonious Mars/Uranus aspect </em>becomes exact at 7:23am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday on; it will remain strong until next week Friday (March 16th). </strong>This aspect signals a time when our energy level is much higher than usual -- among other effects, we may find we can work for long hours without fatigue, or feel \"driven\", especially in new and unusual directions.\r\n\r\nIt could be that we receive backing from unusual sources. In general, our efforts are successful and we scale new heights of originality. As best as you can, stay open to new and unexpected things. Highly recommended: Group activities, group causes and connecting to like-minded people from all over the world.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or one or more personal planets) in the following: 23-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Aries,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Leo, </i></b><i>or </i><i>0 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler Aries; Uranus rules Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Sunday morning, </strong><em>an opportune Sun/Pluto aspect </em>becomes exact at 7:56am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until Monday night. </strong>This is an opportunity to bring a sense of compassion and creativity to whatever needs restructuring or rebuilding in our lives.\r\n\r\nIt’s also an opportunity to notice how obsessed we’ve become about manifesting something real/authentic and soften our approach a little.

On Thursday, Mercury enters its shadow phase and Jupiter comes to a complete halt as it starts its 4-month retrograde phase. Lastly, on Friday morning, the last Quarter Moon in Sagittarius becomes exact.\r\n\r\nThere will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Monday very early morning (for a little over 7.5 hours), Wednesday very early morning (for a little over 13 hours), and Friday late evening (for almost 7.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (March 5th):</strong> <em>The Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong> until 8:23am EST</strong>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday very early morning at 1:19am EST, </strong>we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&amp;q=https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1519834911779000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGFGZ17skEnKIsKbpcRC91A0HqnJA\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7.5 hours, <strong>until 8:23am EST</strong>. If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it to examine your one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?<!--more-->\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday morning ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 8:23am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday early evening</strong>.<b> </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 6th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b>(see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 2:34am EST</strong>, <i>Mercury changes signs from dreamy, creative</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>to enthusiastic, direct</i> <b><i>Aries. </i></b>It will journey through this courageous sign, for an unusually long time, <b>until </b><b>May 13th</b> (due to its 3-week retrograde phase that starts on March 22nd).<i> </i>During this time, our thinking speeds up, and we are eager for new endeavors.\r\n\r\nGiven that we want to achieve our goals as quickly as possible, we may come off impulsive and impatient, and must therefore speak (and get answers) faster. Nothing stands in our way now: we are ready, we are brave, we want what we want and we want it now ;-)\r\n\r\nAs you can perhaps imagine, we need to watch out for blurting things out prematurely or inappropriately; as best you can, choose your words carefully and pause before responding ;-)\r\n\r\nRemember, everyone else is feeling the Aries energy quite strongly too, so do your best to not take it personally if someone ignores what you want, or says something insensitive. Keep the focus on yourself instead -- and take responsibility for how you are communicating or expressing yourself.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel especially chatty for the next 9 weeks. Your mental energy will be quite active and you feel the need to connect to others -- whether it be in person, via email, over the phone or via social media. New ideas and new connections are very likely. </i>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel a tremendous energy burst for the next 9 weeks: really enthusiastic and physically strong.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:45pm EST, </strong><i>Venus changes signs from intuitive, creative, </i><i>dreamy </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> to fast-paced, enthusiastic, active </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>,</i><i> </i>where it will journey <strong>until March 31st. </strong>Until then, we are going to feel passionate about connecting to others. We are ready to make a new start: if you are single, this could be a great chance to start something new (all things being equal ;-)\r\n\r\nWith Venus in <strong>Aries</strong>, spontaneity and independence are important to us. You’re not the only one who likes a challenge, so don\'t make it too easy for others to win you over ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you are already in a committed relationship, you get a wonderful chance to bring freshness and excitement to your bedroom and \"other parts of the house\" ;-) We also have more energy than usual; we are more likely to want to get out of the house, and be active with others.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, beauty and love will enter your life during this time, you will feel more attractive and you will attract things to you. As a </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i>, you will feel more energized, passionate and more direct than usual.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 7th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><strong><b><i>Scorpio</i></b></strong><strong> until 5:03pm EST</strong> (see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 3:55am EST</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 13 hours, <strong>until 5:03pm EST</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with others on a deep emotional level, and explore greater truths about your ability to make those authentic connections.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday morning and afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 5:03pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i>, </b>where it will journey<i> <strong>until Saturday early morning</strong></i><b>. </b>We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things. This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Friday morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 8th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b></strong> (see Wednesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday around 11pm EST, </strong><i>Mercury enters a 3-week shadow phase</i><i>, as it reaches 4 degrees and 47 minutes of </i><b><i>Aries. </i></b>This precedes the retrograde phase, which will begin on March 22nd in almost 17 degrees of <b>Aries</b> (more on that in 3 weeks).\r\n\r\nSo what is the \"shadow phase\"? To explain this, I\'ll quickly cover what happens when a planet \"stations\" and then goes \"retrograde\".\r\n\r\nRelative to us on Earth, a planet sometimes looks like it is slowing down (\"stationing\"), then stopping. After being still for a while, it actually appears to go \"backward\" through the sky (this is the \"retrograde\" phase). It\'s a little like catching up to a car on the highway, driving exactly alongside it for a moment, then passing it and pulling ahead.\r\n\r\nAt first, retrograde movement is slow, but the planet gradually reaches its normal pace through the sky -- except it\'s going backward. The process then reverses itself: the backward pace slows, the planet crawls to a \"halt\", then it starts to move forward again (i.e. it goes direct). In our car analogy, it\'s like the car you just passed gradually speeds up and passes you again.\r\n\r\nThere are also two \"shadow\" phases -- during these, the planet travels over a part of the sky it will later \"revisit\". The first \"shadow\" comes before the planet moves backward; the second comes when the planet starts to catch back up (after going direct).\r\n\r\nIt\'s like you went hiking and left something behind at camp. If you went back to get it, you\'d have some catching up to do, and would see the same scenery twice or more.\r\n\r\nMercury\'s shadow phases usually last 2-3 weeks before and after the Retrograde phase.\r\n\r\nIf you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items -- especially connected to transportation (cars, airline tickets, etc.) or communication devices (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) -- be aware of the shadow periods as well as the retrograde phases. If possible, get these things done before Mercury enters it\'s shadow or wait until after the shadow phases are over -- that would be <strong>May 3rd</strong> in this case ;-)\r\n\r\nOf course, if there is something that <i>must</i> get done during these phases, don\'t put your whole life on hold, just because Mercury is retrograde or in it\'s shadow. Sometimes things line up exactly at the right time; as best as you can, trust that it\'s all \"perfect\" ;-)\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Thursday late evening, at 11:45pm EST, </strong><i>Jupiter comes to a halt </i>at 23 degrees of <strong>Scorpio</strong>,<b> </b>starting its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. The retrograde phases are inner processes -- they help us connect to a particular energy internally, and thus express it externally (once Jupiter goes direct again). Jupiter retrograde brings a chance to tap inner wisdom, optimism and sense of possibility, and an inner understanding of how the world works. This retrograde phase lasts <b>until July 10th.</b>\r\n\r\nDuring this time, we get to choose what we truly believe -- which beliefs serve us and which don\'t -- and we can more easily let go of limiting beliefs and experience new truths. While retrograde in <strong>Scorpio</strong> -- here are some coaching questions:\r\n\r\nWhat do I believe about my intimate partnerships? About empowerment? Disempowerment? Deep authentic connections? Where am I making assumptions that do not serve me? What might be holding me back?\r\n\r\nThe connection to inner wisdom is heightened. Ask yourself: What do I “just know”? If the answer is “I don’t know”, ask yourself “What if I did know? What mighty it be in that case?”\r\n\r\nFeel free to <a href=\"https://youtu.be/JtMJiPnnZWc\">check out my 30-minute excerpt</a> from my webinar about the Jupiter and Mercury Station and Retrograde phases in March: https://youtu.be/JtMJiPnnZWc\r\n\r\nAnd if you want to know how that will impact you personally, feel free to buy the whole 90+ min. webinar on the subject --  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a> -- we talked about what to expect for the next 4 weeks, and how it all applies to our own birth charts ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> 12-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this retrograde phase. This is also true for those of us who have our</i><i> Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter rules Sagittarius, so Sagittarius will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (March 9th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b> </strong>(see Wednesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 6:20am EST, </strong><i>the last Quarter Moon in almost 19 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b> will be exact.<b> </b>The Moon in adventurous, truth-seeking <b>Sagittarius</b> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in sensitive, dreamy, compassionate<b> Pisces. </b>This may bring up some challenges. However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to March 17th\'s New Moon in <strong>Pisces</strong>. We are thus best served by reviewing projects begun since the last New Moon in mid February (which was also a Solar Eclipse).\r\n\r\nWhat -- if anything -- needs adjustments? What did you discover since Feb. 15th? What did it mean for you? As best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-21 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Gemini</i></b><i>, <b>Pisces, </b>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s last Quarter Moon.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 9:27pm EST</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for almost 7.5 hours, <strong>until at 4:52am EST (Saturday early morning)</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self — explore, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday night and Saturday early morning ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 10th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b></strong>and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><strong> until 4:52am EST </strong>(see Wednesday late afternoon and Friday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 4:52am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Monday morning (March 12th)</strong><b>. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Starting tomorrow</strong> (Sunday, March 11th), my <em>Weekly Forecast</em> and <em>Full Moon videos</em> are only going to be available to my new online community. <b>For a limited time only,</b> you can continue receiving all of the wonderful forecasts uninterrupted, for the price of a Cappuccino!

Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to your passions, while remaining committed to exploring them one step at a time. What is my life calling me to explore? Could I go for it (one step at a time)?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Saturn rules Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning, </strong><em>a harmonious Mars/Uranus aspect </em>becomes exact at 7:23am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday on; it will remain strong until next week Friday (March 16th). </strong>This aspect signals a time when our energy level is much higher than usual -- among other effects, we may find we can work for long hours without fatigue, or feel \"driven\", especially in new and unusual directions.\r\n\r\nIt could be that we receive backing from unusual sources. In general, our efforts are successful and we scale new heights of originality. As best as you can, stay open to new and unexpected things. Highly recommended: Group activities, group causes and connecting to like-minded people from all over the world.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or one or more personal planets) in the following: 23-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Aries,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Leo, </i></b><i>or </i><i>0 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler Aries; Uranus rules Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Sunday morning, </strong><em>an opportune Sun/Pluto aspect </em>becomes exact at 7:56am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until Monday night. </strong>This is an opportunity to bring a sense of compassion and creativity to whatever needs restructuring or rebuilding in our lives.\r\n\r\nIt’s also an opportunity to notice how obsessed we’ve become about manifesting something real/authentic and soften our approach a little. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to make something of it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.

On Thursday, Mercury enters its shadow phase and Jupiter comes to a complete halt as it starts its 4-month retrograde phase. Lastly, on Friday morning, the last Quarter Moon in Sagittarius becomes exact.\r\n\r\nThere will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Monday very early morning (for a little over 7.5 hours), Wednesday very early morning (for a little over 13 hours), and Friday late evening (for almost 7.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (March 5th):</strong> <em>The Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong> until 8:23am EST</strong>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday very early morning at 1:19am EST, </strong>we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&amp;q=https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1519834911779000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGFGZ17skEnKIsKbpcRC91A0HqnJA\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7.5 hours, <strong>until 8:23am EST</strong>. If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it to examine your one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?<!--more-->\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday morning ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 8:23am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday early evening</strong>.<b> </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 6th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b>(see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 2:34am EST</strong>, <i>Mercury changes signs from dreamy, creative</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>to enthusiastic, direct</i> <b><i>Aries. </i></b>It will journey through this courageous sign, for an unusually long time, <b>until </b><b>May 13th</b> (due to its 3-week retrograde phase that starts on March 22nd).<i> </i>During this time, our thinking speeds up, and we are eager for new endeavors.\r\n\r\nGiven that we want to achieve our goals as quickly as possible, we may come off impulsive and impatient, and must therefore speak (and get answers) faster. Nothing stands in our way now: we are ready, we are brave, we want what we want and we want it now ;-)\r\n\r\nAs you can perhaps imagine, we need to watch out for blurting things out prematurely or inappropriately; as best you can, choose your words carefully and pause before responding ;-)\r\n\r\nRemember, everyone else is feeling the Aries energy quite strongly too, so do your best to not take it personally if someone ignores what you want, or says something insensitive. Keep the focus on yourself instead -- and take responsibility for how you are communicating or expressing yourself.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel especially chatty for the next 9 weeks. Your mental energy will be quite active and you feel the need to connect to others -- whether it be in person, via email, over the phone or via social media. New ideas and new connections are very likely. </i>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel a tremendous energy burst for the next 9 weeks: really enthusiastic and physically strong.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:45pm EST, </strong><i>Venus changes signs from intuitive, creative, </i><i>dreamy </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> to fast-paced, enthusiastic, active </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>,</i><i> </i>where it will journey <strong>until March 31st. </strong>Until then, we are going to feel passionate about connecting to others. We are ready to make a new start: if you are single, this could be a great chance to start something new (all things being equal ;-)\r\n\r\nWith Venus in <strong>Aries</strong>, spontaneity and independence are important to us. You’re not the only one who likes a challenge, so don\'t make it too easy for others to win you over ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you are already in a committed relationship, you get a wonderful chance to bring freshness and excitement to your bedroom and \"other parts of the house\" ;-) We also have more energy than usual; we are more likely to want to get out of the house, and be active with others.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, beauty and love will enter your life during this time, you will feel more attractive and you will attract things to you. As a </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i>, you will feel more energized, passionate and more direct than usual.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 7th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><strong><b><i>Scorpio</i></b></strong><strong> until 5:03pm EST</strong> (see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 3:55am EST</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 13 hours, <strong>until 5:03pm EST</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with others on a deep emotional level, and explore greater truths about your ability to make those authentic connections.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday morning and afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 5:03pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i>, </b>where it will journey<i> <strong>until Saturday early morning</strong></i><b>. </b>We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things. This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Friday morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 8th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b></strong> (see Wednesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday around 11pm EST, </strong><i>Mercury enters a 3-week shadow phase</i><i>, as it reaches 4 degrees and 47 minutes of </i><b><i>Aries. </i></b>This precedes the retrograde phase, which will begin on March 22nd in almost 17 degrees of <b>Aries</b> (more on that in 3 weeks).\r\n\r\nSo what is the \"shadow phase\"? To explain this, I\'ll quickly cover what happens when a planet \"stations\" and then goes \"retrograde\".\r\n\r\nRelative to us on Earth, a planet sometimes looks like it is slowing down (\"stationing\"), then stopping. After being still for a while, it actually appears to go \"backward\" through the sky (this is the \"retrograde\" phase). It\'s a little like catching up to a car on the highway, driving exactly alongside it for a moment, then passing it and pulling ahead.\r\n\r\nAt first, retrograde movement is slow, but the planet gradually reaches its normal pace through the sky -- except it\'s going backward. The process then reverses itself: the backward pace slows, the planet crawls to a \"halt\", then it starts to move forward again (i.e. it goes direct). In our car analogy, it\'s like the car you just passed gradually speeds up and passes you again.\r\n\r\nThere are also two \"shadow\" phases -- during these, the planet travels over a part of the sky it will later \"revisit\". The first \"shadow\" comes before the planet moves backward; the second comes when the planet starts to catch back up (after going direct).\r\n\r\nIt\'s like you went hiking and left something behind at camp. If you went back to get it, you\'d have some catching up to do, and would see the same scenery twice or more.\r\n\r\nMercury\'s shadow phases usually last 2-3 weeks before and after the Retrograde phase.\r\n\r\nIf you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items -- especially connected to transportation (cars, airline tickets, etc.) or communication devices (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) -- be aware of the shadow periods as well as the retrograde phases. If possible, get these things done before Mercury enters it\'s shadow or wait until after the shadow phases are over -- that would be <strong>May 3rd</strong> in this case ;-)\r\n\r\nOf course, if there is something that <i>must</i> get done during these phases, don\'t put your whole life on hold, just because Mercury is retrograde or in it\'s shadow. Sometimes things line up exactly at the right time; as best as you can, trust that it\'s all \"perfect\" ;-)\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Thursday late evening, at 11:45pm EST, </strong><i>Jupiter comes to a halt </i>at 23 degrees of <strong>Scorpio</strong>,<b> </b>starting its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. The retrograde phases are inner processes -- they help us connect to a particular energy internally, and thus express it externally (once Jupiter goes direct again). Jupiter retrograde brings a chance to tap inner wisdom, optimism and sense of possibility, and an inner understanding of how the world works. This retrograde phase lasts <b>until July 10th.</b>\r\n\r\nDuring this time, we get to choose what we truly believe -- which beliefs serve us and which don\'t -- and we can more easily let go of limiting beliefs and experience new truths. While retrograde in <strong>Scorpio</strong> -- here are some coaching questions:\r\n\r\nWhat do I believe about my intimate partnerships? About empowerment? Disempowerment? Deep authentic connections? Where am I making assumptions that do not serve me? What might be holding me back?\r\n\r\nThe connection to inner wisdom is heightened. Ask yourself: What do I “just know”? If the answer is “I don’t know”, ask yourself “What if I did know? What mighty it be in that case?”\r\n\r\nFeel free to <a href=\"https://youtu.be/JtMJiPnnZWc\">check out my 30-minute excerpt</a> from my webinar about the Jupiter and Mercury Station and Retrograde phases in March: https://youtu.be/JtMJiPnnZWc\r\n\r\nAnd if you want to know how that will impact you personally, feel free to buy the whole 90+ min. webinar on the subject --  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a> -- we talked about what to expect for the next 4 weeks, and how it all applies to our own birth charts ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> 12-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this retrograde phase. This is also true for those of us who have our</i><i> Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter rules Sagittarius, so Sagittarius will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (March 9th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b> </strong>(see Wednesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 6:20am EST, </strong><i>the last Quarter Moon in almost 19 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b> will be exact.<b> </b>The Moon in adventurous, truth-seeking <b>Sagittarius</b> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in sensitive, dreamy, compassionate<b> Pisces. </b>This may bring up some challenges. However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to March 17th\'s New Moon in <strong>Pisces</strong>. We are thus best served by reviewing projects begun since the last New Moon in mid February (which was also a Solar Eclipse).\r\n\r\nWhat -- if anything -- needs adjustments? What did you discover since Feb. 15th? What did it mean for you? As best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-21 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Gemini</i></b><i>, <b>Pisces, </b>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s last Quarter Moon.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 9:27pm EST</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for almost 7.5 hours, <strong>until at 4:52am EST (Saturday early morning)</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self — explore, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday night and Saturday early morning ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 10th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b></strong>and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><strong> until 4:52am EST </strong>(see Wednesday late afternoon and Friday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 4:52am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Monday morning (March 12th)</strong><b>. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Starting tomorrow</strong> (Sunday, March 11th), my <em>Weekly Forecast</em> and <em>Full Moon videos</em> are only going to be available to my new online community. <b>For a limited time only,</b> you can continue receiving all of the wonderful forecasts uninterrupted, for the price of a Cappuccino!

Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to your passions, while remaining committed to exploring them one step at a time. What is my life calling me to explore? Could I go for it (one step at a time)?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Saturn rules Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning, </strong><em>a harmonious Mars/Uranus aspect </em>becomes exact at 7:23am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday on; it will remain strong until next week Friday (March 16th). </strong>This aspect signals a time when our energy level is much higher than usual -- among other effects, we may find we can work for long hours without fatigue, or feel \"driven\", especially in new and unusual directions.\r\n\r\nIt could be that we receive backing from unusual sources. In general, our efforts are successful and we scale new heights of originality. As best as you can, stay open to new and unexpected things. Highly recommended: Group activities, group causes and connecting to like-minded people from all over the world.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or one or more personal planets) in the following: 23-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Aries,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Leo, </i></b><i>or </i><i>0 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler Aries; Uranus rules Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Sunday morning, </strong><em>an opportune Sun/Pluto aspect </em>becomes exact at 7:56am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until Monday night. </strong>This is an opportunity to bring a sense of compassion and creativity to whatever needs restructuring or rebuilding in our lives.\r\n\r\nIt’s also an opportunity to notice how obsessed we’ve become about manifesting something real/authentic and soften our approach a little. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to make something of it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>A heads up for next Monday (March 12th):</strong> <i>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><strong> until 6:44pm EST</strong> (See Saturday very early morning for details). <strong>At 11:36am EST,</strong> we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 6:44pm EST</strong>. <strong>At that time</strong>, <em>the Moon moves into <strong>Aquarius</strong></em>, where it will journey<strong> until Thursday morning</strong>.

On Thursday, Mercury enters its shadow phase and Jupiter comes to a complete halt as it starts its 4-month retrograde phase. Lastly, on Friday morning, the last Quarter Moon in Sagittarius becomes exact.\r\n\r\nThere will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Monday very early morning (for a little over 7.5 hours), Wednesday very early morning (for a little over 13 hours), and Friday late evening (for almost 7.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (March 5th):</strong> <em>The Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong> until 8:23am EST</strong>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday very early morning at 1:19am EST, </strong>we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&amp;q=https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1519834911779000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGFGZ17skEnKIsKbpcRC91A0HqnJA\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7.5 hours, <strong>until 8:23am EST</strong>. If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it to examine your one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?<!--more-->\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday morning ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 8:23am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday early evening</strong>.<b> </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 6th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b>(see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 2:34am EST</strong>, <i>Mercury changes signs from dreamy, creative</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>to enthusiastic, direct</i> <b><i>Aries. </i></b>It will journey through this courageous sign, for an unusually long time, <b>until </b><b>May 13th</b> (due to its 3-week retrograde phase that starts on March 22nd).<i> </i>During this time, our thinking speeds up, and we are eager for new endeavors.\r\n\r\nGiven that we want to achieve our goals as quickly as possible, we may come off impulsive and impatient, and must therefore speak (and get answers) faster. Nothing stands in our way now: we are ready, we are brave, we want what we want and we want it now ;-)\r\n\r\nAs you can perhaps imagine, we need to watch out for blurting things out prematurely or inappropriately; as best you can, choose your words carefully and pause before responding ;-)\r\n\r\nRemember, everyone else is feeling the Aries energy quite strongly too, so do your best to not take it personally if someone ignores what you want, or says something insensitive. Keep the focus on yourself instead -- and take responsibility for how you are communicating or expressing yourself.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel especially chatty for the next 9 weeks. Your mental energy will be quite active and you feel the need to connect to others -- whether it be in person, via email, over the phone or via social media. New ideas and new connections are very likely. </i>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel a tremendous energy burst for the next 9 weeks: really enthusiastic and physically strong.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:45pm EST, </strong><i>Venus changes signs from intuitive, creative, </i><i>dreamy </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> to fast-paced, enthusiastic, active </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>,</i><i> </i>where it will journey <strong>until March 31st. </strong>Until then, we are going to feel passionate about connecting to others. We are ready to make a new start: if you are single, this could be a great chance to start something new (all things being equal ;-)\r\n\r\nWith Venus in <strong>Aries</strong>, spontaneity and independence are important to us. You’re not the only one who likes a challenge, so don\'t make it too easy for others to win you over ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you are already in a committed relationship, you get a wonderful chance to bring freshness and excitement to your bedroom and \"other parts of the house\" ;-) We also have more energy than usual; we are more likely to want to get out of the house, and be active with others.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, beauty and love will enter your life during this time, you will feel more attractive and you will attract things to you. As a </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i>, you will feel more energized, passionate and more direct than usual.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 7th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><strong><b><i>Scorpio</i></b></strong><strong> until 5:03pm EST</strong> (see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 3:55am EST</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 13 hours, <strong>until 5:03pm EST</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with others on a deep emotional level, and explore greater truths about your ability to make those authentic connections.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday morning and afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 5:03pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i>, </b>where it will journey<i> <strong>until Saturday early morning</strong></i><b>. </b>We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things. This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Friday morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 8th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b></strong> (see Wednesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday around 11pm EST, </strong><i>Mercury enters a 3-week shadow phase</i><i>, as it reaches 4 degrees and 47 minutes of </i><b><i>Aries. </i></b>This precedes the retrograde phase, which will begin on March 22nd in almost 17 degrees of <b>Aries</b> (more on that in 3 weeks).\r\n\r\nSo what is the \"shadow phase\"? To explain this, I\'ll quickly cover what happens when a planet \"stations\" and then goes \"retrograde\".\r\n\r\nRelative to us on Earth, a planet sometimes looks like it is slowing down (\"stationing\"), then stopping. After being still for a while, it actually appears to go \"backward\" through the sky (this is the \"retrograde\" phase). It\'s a little like catching up to a car on the highway, driving exactly alongside it for a moment, then passing it and pulling ahead.\r\n\r\nAt first, retrograde movement is slow, but the planet gradually reaches its normal pace through the sky -- except it\'s going backward. The process then reverses itself: the backward pace slows, the planet crawls to a \"halt\", then it starts to move forward again (i.e. it goes direct). In our car analogy, it\'s like the car you just passed gradually speeds up and passes you again.\r\n\r\nThere are also two \"shadow\" phases -- during these, the planet travels over a part of the sky it will later \"revisit\". The first \"shadow\" comes before the planet moves backward; the second comes when the planet starts to catch back up (after going direct).\r\n\r\nIt\'s like you went hiking and left something behind at camp. If you went back to get it, you\'d have some catching up to do, and would see the same scenery twice or more.\r\n\r\nMercury\'s shadow phases usually last 2-3 weeks before and after the Retrograde phase.\r\n\r\nIf you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items -- especially connected to transportation (cars, airline tickets, etc.) or communication devices (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) -- be aware of the shadow periods as well as the retrograde phases. If possible, get these things done before Mercury enters it\'s shadow or wait until after the shadow phases are over -- that would be <strong>May 3rd</strong> in this case ;-)\r\n\r\nOf course, if there is something that <i>must</i> get done during these phases, don\'t put your whole life on hold, just because Mercury is retrograde or in it\'s shadow. Sometimes things line up exactly at the right time; as best as you can, trust that it\'s all \"perfect\" ;-)\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Thursday late evening, at 11:45pm EST, </strong><i>Jupiter comes to a halt </i>at 23 degrees of <strong>Scorpio</strong>,<b> </b>starting its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. The retrograde phases are inner processes -- they help us connect to a particular energy internally, and thus express it externally (once Jupiter goes direct again). Jupiter retrograde brings a chance to tap inner wisdom, optimism and sense of possibility, and an inner understanding of how the world works. This retrograde phase lasts <b>until July 10th.</b>\r\n\r\nDuring this time, we get to choose what we truly believe -- which beliefs serve us and which don\'t -- and we can more easily let go of limiting beliefs and experience new truths. While retrograde in <strong>Scorpio</strong> -- here are some coaching questions:\r\n\r\nWhat do I believe about my intimate partnerships? About empowerment? Disempowerment? Deep authentic connections? Where am I making assumptions that do not serve me? What might be holding me back?\r\n\r\nThe connection to inner wisdom is heightened. Ask yourself: What do I “just know”? If the answer is “I don’t know”, ask yourself “What if I did know? What mighty it be in that case?”\r\n\r\nFeel free to <a href=\"https://youtu.be/JtMJiPnnZWc\">check out my 30-minute excerpt</a> from my webinar about the Jupiter and Mercury Station and Retrograde phases in March: https://youtu.be/JtMJiPnnZWc\r\n\r\nAnd if you want to know how that will impact you personally, feel free to buy the whole 90+ min. webinar on the subject --  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a> -- we talked about what to expect for the next 4 weeks, and how it all applies to our own birth charts ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> 12-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this retrograde phase. This is also true for those of us who have our</i><i> Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter rules Sagittarius, so Sagittarius will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (March 9th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b> </strong>(see Wednesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 6:20am EST, </strong><i>the last Quarter Moon in almost 19 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b> will be exact.<b> </b>The Moon in adventurous, truth-seeking <b>Sagittarius</b> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in sensitive, dreamy, compassionate<b> Pisces. </b>This may bring up some challenges. However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to March 17th\'s New Moon in <strong>Pisces</strong>. We are thus best served by reviewing projects begun since the last New Moon in mid February (which was also a Solar Eclipse).\r\n\r\nWhat -- if anything -- needs adjustments? What did you discover since Feb. 15th? What did it mean for you? As best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-21 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Gemini</i></b><i>, <b>Pisces, </b>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s last Quarter Moon.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 9:27pm EST</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for almost 7.5 hours, <strong>until at 4:52am EST (Saturday early morning)</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self — explore, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday night and Saturday early morning ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 10th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b></strong>and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><strong> until 4:52am EST </strong>(see Wednesday late afternoon and Friday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 4:52am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Monday morning (March 12th)</strong><b>. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Starting tomorrow</strong> (Sunday, March 11th), my <em>Weekly Forecast</em> and <em>Full Moon videos</em> are only going to be available to my new online community. <b>For a limited time only,</b> you can continue receiving all of the wonderful forecasts uninterrupted, for the price of a Cappuccino!

Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to your passions, while remaining committed to exploring them one step at a time. What is my life calling me to explore? Could I go for it (one step at a time)?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Saturn rules Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning, </strong><em>a harmonious Mars/Uranus aspect </em>becomes exact at 7:23am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday on; it will remain strong until next week Friday (March 16th). </strong>This aspect signals a time when our energy level is much higher than usual -- among other effects, we may find we can work for long hours without fatigue, or feel \"driven\", especially in new and unusual directions.\r\n\r\nIt could be that we receive backing from unusual sources. In general, our efforts are successful and we scale new heights of originality. As best as you can, stay open to new and unexpected things. Highly recommended: Group activities, group causes and connecting to like-minded people from all over the world.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or one or more personal planets) in the following: 23-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Aries,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Leo, </i></b><i>or </i><i>0 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler Aries; Uranus rules Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Sunday morning, </strong><em>an opportune Sun/Pluto aspect </em>becomes exact at 7:56am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until Monday night. </strong>This is an opportunity to bring a sense of compassion and creativity to whatever needs restructuring or rebuilding in our lives.\r\n\r\nIt’s also an opportunity to notice how obsessed we’ve become about manifesting something real/authentic and soften our approach a little. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to make something of it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>A heads up for next Monday (March 12th):</strong> <i>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><strong> until 6:44pm EST</strong> (See Saturday very early morning for details). <strong>At 11:36am EST,</strong> we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 6:44pm EST</strong>. <strong>At that time</strong>, <em>the Moon moves into <strong>Aquarius</strong></em>, where it will journey<strong> until Thursday morning</strong>.

It\'s considered the bridge between the limitations of the physical and the unlimited nature of the non-physical (or spiritual) world. Often referred to as the \"Wounded Healer\", it reminds us of our humanity -- and guides us to see it as a gift.\n\nWhen we take responsibility for our human limitations and move past seeing them as \"wrong\" or \"bad\", our inner gifts and uniqueness can emerge more completely and powerfully.\n\n<strong>Let\'s look now at Chiron in Aries:</strong> The day after Chiron moves into <strong>Aries</strong>,...\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>ALREADY A MEMBER?

This points to the possibility that Chiron\'s journey through <strong>Aries</strong> will place a strong emphasis on liberation of the self.\n\nChiron in <strong>Aries</strong> is all about the wounded warrior, the Healer-Hero that emerges from a Warrior\'s healing journey. The healing path consists of seeing, acknowledging, embracing, and finally loving ourselves just as we are: physically, emotionally  and spiritually -- especially when it comes to our personal goals, leadership and inspirational abilities, our ability to take action, our \"masculine\" drive.\n\nBroadly speaking, then: our capacity to go after what we desire...\n\nWe get to see that we all have the ability to heal, and be healed, through our actions. Each of us can step into our inner healer in our own unique way.\n\n<strong>You can ask yourself:</strong> What is the next step on the path of healing for my inner child, my inner wounding? How were my ancestors wounded around \"the masculine\"? What step can I personally take on that healing path?\n\nChiron in <strong>Aries</strong> also has us look at some of the following: How we express our anger (or how we do not express it), how we might further heal our relationship to our body (this includes sexuality, gender, etc.) and our personal desires; how we do or do not take initiative, display courage, and practice self-determination.\n\n<strong>Ask:</strong> What would a healthy sense of identity, independence, and willpower enable me to do? Might accepting my limitations lead to unique ways to move with those energies? What makes me an individual? What are my unique desires and goals?\n\nThere is also an emphasis on injuries (especially head injuries), physical flaws, issues around anger and assertion of our anger, impatience, being ok with who we are. All of these issues could feel sensitive and fire off our \"triggers\" or bring up shame.\n\nOne thing is for sure: Chiron in Aries will show us a new perspective and will open new doors of healing for us -- likely a physically active Healing Journey. To the extent that this transit highlights our leadership abilities, the journey is toward becoming a different kind of leader, a non-traditional one.\n\n<strong>This question lies at the heart of that journey:</strong> How do we channel our masculine energy?\n\nThis is a very important question, if we are to become a conscious, holistic warrior. Picture the film actors Bruce Lee, Jet Li, or Michelle Yeah -- they are consciously connecting the active physical with the emotional and spiritual -- through martial arts in their case -- you might also picture a great practitioner of Yoga -- we\'re talking here about a conscious, holistic relationship to physical dynamics.\n\nWhat do we see in great practitioners of these arts?\n\nAmong other things, they seem to understand that impatience is wanting to move faster than what is required in the now moment.\n\nThey take responsibility for their triggers around reactivity, impatience, aggression, inconsiderate leadership, etc. and have an understanding for where it comes from (ancestors history, childhood) and what the impact is on others.\n\nThey look for unique ways to express themselves and channel those energies in a healthy way, sometimes in a new, non-traditional way. They ask \"What might be the alternatives here?\"\n\nThey are compassionate with themselves and others when it comes to expressing masculine energies.\n\nLike them, <em>this journey of Chiron through <strong>Aries</strong></em> is not about aggression, but rather assertiveness. For all of us, whatever our starting point, it is also about acknowledging and embracing limitations around anger. We also need an open, compassionate awareness as to whether we are responding or \"reacting\" to our circumstances.\n\nAs we develop understanding for our inner \"wounded\" child and our \"human\" limitations (in parallel with the above) we build a space for compassion. In fact, I recommend you celebrate your limitations. Why? Because that means you are compassionately aware of them -- and awareness is always the first step towards healing.\n\nWalking these paths can continually recreate us as leaders with an holistic approach and a healing, compassionate presence.\n\n[/wcm_restrict]\n\nWere you born between April 1968 and May 1976? Or Oct. 1976 - March 1977? If the answer is yes, you have Chiron in Aries in your natal chart, and will have a Chiron Return within the next 8-9 years. This means that one cycle of your Healing Journey is coming to an end, and a new one is beginning: you are getting a chance at leaving the past behind, and moving forward with greater acceptance of your own humanity.\n\nIs your natal Chiron in the first House of your Birth chart?

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\n\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\n\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\n\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\n\n<strong>Monday</strong><b> afternoon</b>, our focus intensifies -- we might even get a little obsessed with a project or task -- as best as you can, take breaks and don\'t forget to practice a little self-care ;-)\n\n<strong>Monday evening,</strong> we get the opportunity to investigate our deepest motivations and align them with our long-term goals and achievements (if we are awake at this time, of course). We are capable of great focus for the next couple of hours. As with all opportunities in life, this one is not simply handed to us, we have to make something of it. Might deeper perspectives into your psyche move you closer to long-term goals?\n\n<b>Tuesday (Feb. 13<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> <i>the Moon remains in practical, </i><i>accomplishment-oriented</i><i> </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> <b>until 10:11am EST</b> (see Monday for details).\n\n<b>Tuesday very early morning,</b> <b>at 12:43am EST,</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for about 9.5 hours, <b>until 10:11am EST</b>.You may be aware of two seemingly conflicting desires: On the one hand, a need for serious, diligent accomplishment -- and on the other, a desire to break free and rebel against obligations.\n\nAs best as you can, take some breaks, and \"let your freak flag fly\" -- just for a moment -- and revel in it! As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your morning ahead of time ;-)\n\n<b>Tuesday at 10:11 am EST</b> <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> where it will be <b>until Thursday evening</b>. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\n\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\n\n<b>Tuesday early evening</b> a <i>challenging Mercury/Jupiter aspect</i> becomes exact at 5:39 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from</b> <b>Sunday and it will be strong until Thursday. </b>This aspect asks that we grow and evolve in the following areas: how we communicate our vision for the future and how much we share with others. We may have to find creative solutions to communicate; we may have to learn about our thinking process and conditioning.\n\nWe want to share ourselves without limitation. We are thus inclined to exaggeration, often unintended -- and might struggle to transform ideas into reality. The upside to all this: we can be extraordinarily funny, interesting and creative.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\n\n<b>Tuesday </b><i>an opportune Sun/Uranus aspect</i><b> </b>becomes exact at 9:23pm EST. <b>We started to feel this aspect Sunday evening on, and it will be strong until Thursday night. </b>We have the opportunity to become aware of an original or unique approach to life. Flexibility is the key to success at this time; pleasant changes may be in store -- certainly unexpected ones ;-)\n\nWhat is your uniqueness? How could you express that proudly and authentically? As best as you can, watch out for messages from the Universe! Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us: We have to \"realize\" it.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo</i></b><i> or</i><b><i> Aquarius </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius)</i>\n\n<b>Wednesday (Feb. 14<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> (Valentine’s Day) <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>all day</b> (see Tuesday late morning for details)\n\n<strong>Wednesday morning</strong> is an opportunity to connect with others and explore actively the things that can bring us progress.\n\n<b>Wednesday </b>is also the <i>last day before the Solar Eclipse in</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact. There is some potent energy coming our way; it would be wise to prepare ourselves to be transformed by it, allowing for our consciousness upgrade to be installed.\n\nThis is a good time to slow things down and go within. For many of us, this will be a stretch, as we want to do just the opposite: jump the gun, get started with something new, act impulsively, etc. This is quite common right before a Solar Eclipse. As best as you can, stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions and connect to your inner wisdom.\n\nIt comes down to this: just for now and just as best as you can... could you simply allow what is... to be? Could you simply be the “observer” until the upgrade is complete?\n\nRather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing things. Think back to late Aug. 2017 -- the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo. What did you start around then? How could you complete it, or move it to the next level?\n\nAs best as you can, take the days immediately before and after the Eclipse for meditation, contemplation, journaling — anything that supports an objective understanding of your own thoughts and visions.\n\nOf course if, like most of us, you have other obligations: take 5-minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, get quiet and be with yourself (i.e. your inspirational Self, your higher mind). Ask yourself: What might become possible if you gave this to yourself on a regular basis?\n\n<b>Thursday (Feb. 15<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>) </b>is a big day! <i>The Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>until 9:42pm EST</b> (see Tuesday late morning for details)\n\n<b>Thursday morning</b> an <i>opportune Mercury/Uranus aspect</i> becomes exact at 10:07am EST. <b>We started to feel this from aspect from Wednesday on, and it will be strong until Friday</b>.This is an opportunity to connect our thinking and communication to a brighter, more collaborative vision for the future.\n\nIt also brings an opportunity for insight, novelty, and some really unusual conversations. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to realize it.\n\nThis aspect also brings an opportunity to view things from a different perspective or put a new spin on \"old\" thinking. We like to connect in unusual ways; any group activities or brainstorming with like-minded people could generate amazing insights -- this might be a busy day. As best as you can, or want to... stay open to other dimensions ;-)\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> <i>(Mercury is the ruler of Virgo and Gemini; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius)</i>\n\nOn <b>Thursday at 4:05pm EST, </b><i>a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse in 27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> becomes exact. </i>This is the beginning of both a new Moon cycle and an Eclipse cycle.  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\n\nEclipses take place approximately every 6 months; <i>Solar Eclipses</i> are extra-powerful New Moons that end one 19-year cycle and begin another — the last Solar Eclipse in this same degree of Aquarius was back on Feb. 16th, 1999. We are likely to experience a resonance between now and that time — \"resonant\", rather than identical — so think back to the Spring of 1999:\n\nWere there any major endings and beginnings? What was important back then? If there were a call this time to take those priorities to the next level… Where would that next level find you?\n\nIf you\'re looking for more guidance on those questions, I would suggest taking a look at your Natal Chart: the House placement of the Eclipse will indicate which area of life is the readiest for a new level of consciousness.\n\nIf that idea appeals, I suggest checking out my <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">30-minute class, \"How to Read My Birth Chart”</a> -- you might also want to purchase the video of the most recent Forecasting Forum -- we looked directly at our own birth charts to see how this Solar Eclipse will affect each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar, available on my website).\n\nOr...\n\n<b>Get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, <b>plus</b> a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\n\nAlthough we have experienced several Eclipses in the Leo/Aquarius polarity since last year, this will be the <i>first Solar Eclipse in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>. This points to a new beginning of some sort, with the visionary Aquarian energy impacting the area of life indicated by its house placement in our individual birth charts.\n\nSolar Eclipses reveal pathways that can take us to the next level of our evolution. They herald shifts in consciousness; the shift connected with this particular Eclipse will unfold over the next 6 months.\n\nThe Sun and Moon are connected to one of the Moon Nodes during an Eclipse; in this case, the South Node -- and <i>South Node Eclipses</i> can help us release energies or attachments that no longer serve our Soul’s evolution. Again, feel free to check out my webinar about the Eclipses to see where this new beginning and next level of your Soul\'s evolution takes place for you.\n\nEclipses are Uranian in nature; as such, they are times of uncertainty -- so pretty much anything could happen <b>between now and the end of Eclipse season (Feb. 25th).</b>\n\nAs best as you can, stay both grounded <i>and</i> flexible — and don\'t jump the gun: If you feel compelled to do something, do your best to simply observe the urge. The exception might be something that happens organically -- but if you are ambivalent about a possible action, better hold off at least until the end of Eclipse Season (Feb. 25th).\n\nEclipses bring major endings and beginnings. As best you can, trust that whatever is leaving is making space for something better -- the more willing we are to change, the easier it will be.\n\nThat said, projects and interactions that got underway prior to Eclipse season (i.e. before Jan. 21st) are another matter -- don’t stop your life just because it is Eclipse season ;-) Pay attention also to anything that got started at the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo, in August of last year.\n\nAsk yourself: Do I have a better understanding of what brings me joy? Am I more courageous and self-expressed?\n\nWith the <i>Solar Eclipse</i> in <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>, we have our eye on the future. The highest vibration of Aquarius gives us the opportunity to see a clear vision for our life -- and we are ready to make huge improvements.\n\n<strong>Aquarius</strong> also deals with the power of ideals, technology, and inventions. We are interested in the collective focus on changing group consciousness; we strive for equality, collaboration, progress. This eclipse invites us to bring this higher vibration to our ability to be courageous and joyful in our own right.\n\n<i>South Node Eclipses</i> invite us to become aware of the lower vibrations of a sign, so we can release those energies or attachments that no longer serve our evolution, and move toward the higher vibration of the sign -- in this case, that would obviously be Aquarius -- so what do the lower Aquarian vibrations look and feel like?\n\nAt a lower <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, we feel like outsiders -- as though we don\'t fit in, are maybe a little <i>too</i> different. We want to rebel against social structures that don\'t fit with our vision.\n\nWe get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not take responsibility for our part in the collective -- when we do not honor our individual genius, our unique contribution to society or our communities. Ask yourself:\n\nWhat stops me from connecting to my inner genius? What if I allowed myself to be both different <i>and</i> connected to others? What if taking responsibility for \"how things are\" was the perfect jump-start for a better future?\n\nTo move even further into that higher <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, try also asking yourself the following questions: Where am I called to make a difference? What could I, as an individual, do for humanity? And how might group consciousness help humanity make progress? Where can I begin?\n\nEvery single one of us has a special gift, a spark unique to us; when we access our inner genius and share it with the world, we can make quantum leaps of insight and embark on remarkable collaborations with others. Ask yourself: How does my inner genius communicate? Where does it want to show up?\n\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) currently in <strong>Aries</strong>, sextiles the Sun, Moon, and Mercury in <strong>Aquarius</strong>. </i>This is a tremendous opportunity for all of us to become more aware of our individual impact on the collective: We are all agents of change. Already. Always.\n\nRight now, our individual capacity to effect change is far greater than we realize — especially for those of us with Uranus, Aquarius, or 11th house planets strongly emphasized in our birth chart — and when we team up with others who also care deeply about creating a better future, we can create real change.\n\nAsk yourself: How can I inspire others to foster progress? What becomes possible when we all connect with the intention to create meaningful change for everyone? For all living things?\n\n<i>Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong> squares the Solar Eclipse, sextiles Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, and trines Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong>. </i>This combo invites us to stretch ourselves for the duration of this Eclipse cycle -- to grow beyond what we currently know ourselves to be -- it supports our ability to build a more meaningful future and allows us to engage more fully in our current healing process.\n\nHere\'s a good start: We all have \"survival tactics\" we formed in response to past circumstances. Ask yourself: What if I expanded my awareness and comprehension of my personal survival tactics by just 5%? What might a new perspective on my fears and defenses show me? What if I relentlessly questioned old beliefs about intimate or financial partnerships? What might I discover about what has become true in the meantime? If I genuinely allowed this insight to change my behaviors and expectations, what might that look like?\n\nAs always when Chiron is involved, aim for wholeness, forgiveness — above all, keep a courageously open heart — our light shines all the brighter when all of our authentic self is visible, even the shadowy parts :-)\n\n<i>Eclipses</i> are a time for clarifying and affirming our highest path. We are bound to experience a release -- and a recalibration: “old” codes will get deleted and new programming downloaded. This is especially true when connected with our vision for the future (and for the collective).\n\nSuppressing or denying the unique gifts we each bring to the collective experience is even less wise than before; we are more aware than ever that we <b>are interconnected</b> and thus every single one of us contributes to the human experience and is capable of making a difference on this shared journey.\n\nSince Eclipse season continues until Feb. 25th, I highly recommend again that you treat yourself to the video of my most recent Forecasting Forum -- we covered the Eclipses, including this Solar Eclipse in <b>Aquarius</b>, looking directly at our own birth charts to see how this affects each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar on my website).\n\nOr...\n\nYou may recall that I now offer membership plans -- you could <b>get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, plus a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum, by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\n\n<b>Between now and Feb. 25th</b>, allow for the new templates to download; stay centered and do your best to ground from within. Try using conscious breathing, flexibility -- and best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body… And if nothing else, remember: this won\'t last forever -- in another two weeks, the downloads are complete ;-)  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">Again, I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in one of the following placements: 22-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, Scorpio, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly.</i>\n\nNow let’s talk “Intentions” :-) Regular readers will know that we usually use the time of the New Moon to set intentions for the coming month.\n\nWith a Solar Eclipse, we want to <b>wait 48 hours before setting our intentions </b>-- in Saturdays Forecast, I’ll be talking about setting some powerful intentions, not just for the next month as is usual for a New Moon, but for the next <i>six</i> months -- and I\'ll give you the very best times for setting them. <i></i>\n<i></i>\n\nAlso on <b>Thursday late afternoon, at 4:05pm EST,</b> at the same time as the New Moon becomes exact, we also enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 6 hours, <b>until 9:42 pm EST</b>. Use this intuitive time to go within and meditate or pray/give thanks/converse with your higher Self.\n\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your Thursday evening ahead of time ;-)\n\n<b>Thursday evening,  </b><i>an opportune Venus/Saturn aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:19 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday night and it will stay strong until Saturday. </b>This aspect gives us an opportunity to bring a sense of realism to our relationships, values, and financial affairs: We are more able to see what really needs to be dealt with in those areas and take responsibility for our handling of them.\n\nOn a financial level, we have an opportunity to see more clearly when and how we might make long-term investments. There\'s no need to rush anything; think it through carefully and responsibly -- do the \"due diligence\". Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us, we have to \"take\" it.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 4-8 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)</i>.\n\n<b>Thursday evening at 9:42 pm EST,</b> <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces,</i></b><i> </i>where it will journey <b>until Sunday morning</b>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\n\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\n\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\n\n<b>Friday (Feb. 16<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>) </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <b>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details)\n\n<strong>Friday morning</strong>, we get an opportunity to be wholly present -- and also to focus on practicalities and long-term plans. As best as you can, bring a sense of flow and faith to your business dealings.\n\n<strong>Friday late morning</strong>, we have a chance to connect with other people from our compassionate heart. If we heed intuition and allow for all things to flow freely, we may discover that the Universe is always taking care of us ;-)\n\n<strong>Friday late evening,</strong> we feel a need to go within and slow down -- and at the same time, we also want to move fast and have new experiences. This tension clearly invites us to stretch a little, and to seek resolution via creative solutions -- the key here is to listen to our intuition, so we don\'t drive ourselves or others crazy.\n\nAlso on <strong>Friday late evening,</strong> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours.\n\n<strong>Friday</strong> is also Chinese New Year. I am not very well-versed in Chinese astrology, so I\'ll just share an excerpt from a newsletter I received last week: \"Today is the start of the Chinese year of the Earth Dog. In Chinese tradition, Earth dogs are faithful, considerate and well-disciplined.\" -- Astro Butterfly\n\n<b>Saturday (Feb. 17<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>): </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details).\n\n<b>Saturday morning,</b> <i>a challenging Mars/Neptune aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:20 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Sunday evening and it will be strong until next week Thursday morning</b>. This aspect is asking us to stretch ourselves, in order to resolve a tension between the things we want to go after, versus our feelings about a higher, spiritual calling. We may be chasing a dream... or a fantasy.\n\nOrdinary life may seem drab and uninteresting to us right now. We tend to either over- or underestimate our own power and abilities. We want something that stirs our imagination: Some vision or ideal or dream to motivate us.\n\nWe have a strong urge to act out our fantasies or live out our dream -- and we have the energy now to DO that which others only talk or dream about -- but we tend to feel scattered. As best as you can, slow down and listen to your intuition before aimlessly zooming ahead. Inspire yourself and others.\n\n<i>Most impacted by this aspect: those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 10-16 degrees of</i><b><i> Sagittarius, Pisces</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Gemini, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\n\n<b>Saturday early morning, </b><i>a Sun/Mercury alignment</i> <i>in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact at 7:27 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday evening on, and it will be strong until next week Tuesday evening. </b>This aspect indicates a confident mind and an analytical approach to life. Intelligence and communication abilities are strong at this time; however, we may not listen as well as the other speaks -- we might be too busy thinking about what to say next.\n\nGiven that this alignment takes place in <strong>Aquarius</strong>, we may feel particularly cool and collected, detached even -- do your best to avoid arrogance or rigidity of thought.\n\nWe want an active role in communications -- it\'s very hard for us to passively listen and absorb information right now. What we say or write now is impactful, so choose your words wisely: If people hung on your every word, what would you say then? What would you hold back from saying?\n\nOur opinions are strong and our thinking independent -- and we\'re proud of both -- so our egos may get bruised if we don\'t feel \"heard\". As best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have a different opinion and that\'s ok.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 26-29 degrees of  </i><strong><i>Aquarius, Leo, Scorpio, Taurus, </i></strong><i>or</i><strong><i> </i></strong><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\">Pisces, Virgo, </b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo, Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)</i>\n\n<b>Saturday</b><b> afternoon (after 4:05pm EST)</b> is also the best time to set<i> our powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse Intentions</i>. Doing so during a Solar Eclipse is a little different from the regular monthly New Moon process: we are setting those intentions for the whole 6-month Eclipse cycle, rather than just for the next 28 days.\n\nSo when is the best time to do this? With a Solar Eclipse it is best to wait 48 hours after the Eclipse has been exact before setting any intentions; as always, we also want to avoid any <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> phases.\n\nThis gives us two \"windows\" for our 6-month intention-setting (all times are EST, which is the New York timezone):\n\nThe first window is on <b>Saturday, Feb. 17th, between 4:05pm and 5:14pm.</b>\n\nThe<b> </b>second would be <b>between 7:05am on Sunday, Feb. 18th, and 4:05pm the following day (Monday, Feb. 19th). </b>\n\nMake them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the <strong>Aquarian</strong> energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\n\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\n\nThis Solar Eclipse reminds us that to be fully alive requires us to constantly stretch, grow, and change. So, while writing your intentions, ask yourself: What would it take for me to release old patterns from the past? How might that free me to create a more powerful vision for the future?\n\n<b>Saturday early evening,</b> <b>at 5:14 pm EST,</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 14 hours, <b>until 7:05 am EST (Sunday morning)</b>. Use this intuitive time to explore any beliefs connected to past experiences that left you feeling disempowered: How could a compassionate approach to the past allow for a new perspective?\n\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your Saturday evening and Sunday early morning ahead of time ;-)\n\n<b>Late Saturday evening at 11:28 pm EST </b><i>Mercury changes signs from freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> to creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i>.</b> It will journey through Pisces until <b>March 6<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b>. We are moving from the mind into the heart. For these next two weeks, we get a chance to communicate with compassion -- we see the commonalities between us all, rather than what separates us.\n\nWe seem to be connected to Source more easily during this time -- if we allow that energy to come through -- and our thinking will be very creative, imaginative and intuitive.\n\nThe key with this energy is to remain in the “here and now” and open up to a higher vibration. If we can do that, we will be able to download information from an intuitive place, rather than thinking things through. This could also be the reason why our mind is slowing down a bit and why we speak more softly.\n\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> also offers us an opportunity to let go of any mental structures, conditionings or fears that are no longer serving us. If you are not connected to your intuition, you may want to double check with other people, before signing any documents or buying any big-ticket items. Are you ready to connect to your intuition more fully? Can you allow for the unfolding process, trusting your higher Self more fully?\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more talkative during this time. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you may need to learn to surrender to a slower pace and connect more fully to your heart and intuition.  </i>\n\n<b>Sunday (Feb. 18<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>): </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><b> </b>and<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><b> until 7:05am EST.</b>\n\n<b>Sunday morning at 7:05 am EST </b><i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries,</i></b> where it will remain <b>until Tuesday afternoon</b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\n\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\n\n<b>Sunday afternoon at 12:18 pm</b> <i>the Sun moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> where it will remain <b>until March 20th. </b>This brings our awareness to our sense of oneness with everyone and everything around us. We feel like sponges, able to pick up all energy around us; this also makes us more sensitive and emotional. We are more drawn towards expressing ourselves in a creative or spiritual way.\n\nMusic or energy healing gives us vitality and can heighten our own personal vibrations. We need to slow down a little and listen to our intuition more fully -- if we ignore our feelings and the subtle messages we are getting, we will most likely feel more anxious and somewhat frustrated. This could also be connected to the slow pace that our body or our surroundings are demanding of us.\n\nThe keyword here is \"allowing\": as best as you can, be aware of what you are resisting, moment to moment, and create some space -- allow it to be as it is. Notice when you are picking up someone else\'s feelings rather than your own.\n\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces </i></b><i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, your vitality will depend on allowing things to flow and being gentle with yourself.</i>\n\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\">Last but not least, </span><b>Sunday </b><span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\"><b>after </b></span><b>7:05am EST, </b> you have all day to set your Solar Eclipse <span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\">Intentions. </span>Make them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the <strong>Aquarian</strong> energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\n\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>.

See you on the other side! ;) Sonja</strong></p>\r\n[wcm_restrict]\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday</strong><b> afternoon</b>, our focus intensifies -- we might even get a little obsessed with a project or task -- as best as you can, take breaks and don\'t forget to practice a little self-care ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday evening,</strong> we get the opportunity to investigate our deepest motivations and align them with our long-term goals and achievements (if we are awake at this time, of course). We are capable of great focus for the next couple of hours. As with all opportunities in life, this one is not simply handed to us, we have to make something of it. Might deeper perspectives into your psyche move you closer to long-term goals?\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday (Feb. 13<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> <i>the Moon remains in practical, </i><i>accomplishment-oriented</i><i> </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> <b>until 10:11am EST</b> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday very early morning,</b> <b>at 12:43am EST,</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for about 9.5 hours, <b>until 10:11am EST</b>.You may be aware of two seemingly conflicting desires: On the one hand, a need for serious, diligent accomplishment -- and on the other, a desire to break free and rebel against obligations.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take some breaks, and \"let your freak flag fly\" -- just for a moment -- and revel in it! As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your morning ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday at 10:11 am EST</b> <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> where it will be <b>until Thursday evening</b>. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday early evening</b> a <i>challenging Mercury/Jupiter aspect</i> becomes exact at 5:39 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from</b> <b>Sunday and it will be strong until Thursday. </b>This aspect asks that we grow and evolve in the following areas: how we communicate our vision for the future and how much we share with others. We may have to find creative solutions to communicate; we may have to learn about our thinking process and conditioning.\r\n\r\nWe want to share ourselves without limitation. We are thus inclined to exaggeration, often unintended -- and might struggle to transform ideas into reality. The upside to all this: we can be extraordinarily funny, interesting and creative.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday </b><i>an opportune Sun/Uranus aspect</i><b> </b>becomes exact at 9:23pm EST. <b>We started to feel this aspect Sunday evening on, and it will be strong until Thursday night. </b>We have the opportunity to become aware of an original or unique approach to life. Flexibility is the key to success at this time; pleasant changes may be in store -- certainly unexpected ones ;-)\r\n\r\nWhat is your uniqueness? How could you express that proudly and authentically? As best as you can, watch out for messages from the Universe! Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us: We have to \"realize\" it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo</i></b><i> or</i><b><i> Aquarius </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday (Feb. 14<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> (Valentine’s Day) <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>all day</b> (see Tuesday late morning for details)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday morning</strong> is an opportunity to connect with others and explore actively the things that can bring us progress.\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday </b>is also the <i>last day before the Solar Eclipse in</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact. There is some potent energy coming our way; it would be wise to prepare ourselves to be transformed by it, allowing for our consciousness upgrade to be installed.\r\n\r\nThis is a good time to slow things down and go within. For many of us, this will be a stretch, as we want to do just the opposite: jump the gun, get started with something new, act impulsively, etc. This is quite common right before a Solar Eclipse. As best as you can, stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions and connect to your inner wisdom.\r\n\r\nIt comes down to this: just for now and just as best as you can... could you simply allow what is... to be? Could you simply be the “observer” until the upgrade is complete?\r\n\r\nRather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing things. Think back to late Aug. 2017 -- the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo. What did you start around then? How could you complete it, or move it to the next level?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take the days immediately before and after the Eclipse for meditation, contemplation, journaling — anything that supports an objective understanding of your own thoughts and visions.\r\n\r\nOf course if, like most of us, you have other obligations: take 5-minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, get quiet and be with yourself (i.e. your inspirational Self, your higher mind). Ask yourself: What might become possible if you gave this to yourself on a regular basis?\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday (Feb. 15<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>) </b>is a big day! <i>The Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>until 9:42pm EST</b> (see Tuesday late morning for details)\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday morning</b> an <i>opportune Mercury/Uranus aspect</i> becomes exact at 10:07am EST. <b>We started to feel this from aspect from Wednesday on, and it will be strong until Friday</b>.This is an opportunity to connect our thinking and communication to a brighter, more collaborative vision for the future.\r\n\r\nIt also brings an opportunity for insight, novelty, and some really unusual conversations. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to realize it.\r\n\r\nThis aspect also brings an opportunity to view things from a different perspective or put a new spin on \"old\" thinking. We like to connect in unusual ways; any group activities or brainstorming with like-minded people could generate amazing insights -- this might be a busy day. As best as you can, or want to... stay open to other dimensions ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> <i>(Mercury is the ruler of Virgo and Gemini; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\nOn <b>Thursday at 4:05pm EST, </b><i>a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse in 27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> becomes exact. </i>This is the beginning of both a new Moon cycle and an Eclipse cycle.  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\nEclipses take place approximately every 6 months; <i>Solar Eclipses</i> are extra-powerful New Moons that end one 19-year cycle and begin another — the last Solar Eclipse in this same degree of Aquarius was back on Feb. 16th, 1999. We are likely to experience a resonance between now and that time — \"resonant\", rather than identical — so think back to the Spring of 1999:\r\n\r\nWere there any major endings and beginnings? What was important back then? If there were a call this time to take those priorities to the next level… Where would that next level find you?\r\n\r\nIf you\'re looking for more guidance on those questions, I would suggest taking a look at your Natal Chart: the House placement of the Eclipse will indicate which area of life is the readiest for a new level of consciousness.\r\n\r\nIf that idea appeals, I suggest checking out my <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">30-minute class, \"How to Read My Birth Chart”</a> -- you might also want to purchase the video of the most recent Forecasting Forum -- we looked directly at our own birth charts to see how this Solar Eclipse will affect each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar, available on my website).\r\n\r\nOr...\r\n\r\n<b>Get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, <b>plus</b> a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\r\n\r\nAlthough we have experienced several Eclipses in the Leo/Aquarius polarity since last year, this will be the <i>first Solar Eclipse in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>. This points to a new beginning of some sort, with the visionary Aquarian energy impacting the area of life indicated by its house placement in our individual birth charts.\r\n\r\nSolar Eclipses reveal pathways that can take us to the next level of our evolution. They herald shifts in consciousness; the shift connected with this particular Eclipse will unfold over the next 6 months.\r\n\r\nThe Sun and Moon are connected to one of the Moon Nodes during an Eclipse; in this case, the South Node -- and <i>South Node Eclipses</i> can help us release energies or attachments that no longer serve our Soul’s evolution. Again, feel free to check out my webinar about the Eclipses to see where this new beginning and next level of your Soul\'s evolution takes place for you.\r\n\r\nEclipses are Uranian in nature; as such, they are times of uncertainty -- so pretty much anything could happen <b>between now and the end of Eclipse season (Feb. 25th).</b>\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, stay both grounded <i>and</i> flexible — and don\'t jump the gun: If you feel compelled to do something, do your best to simply observe the urge. The exception might be something that happens organically -- but if you are ambivalent about a possible action, better hold off at least until the end of Eclipse Season (Feb. 25th).\r\n\r\nEclipses bring major endings and beginnings. As best you can, trust that whatever is leaving is making space for something better -- the more willing we are to change, the easier it will be.\r\n\r\nThat said, projects and interactions that got underway prior to Eclipse season (i.e. before Jan. 21st) are another matter -- don’t stop your life just because it is Eclipse season ;-) Pay attention also to anything that got started at the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo, in August of last year.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Do I have a better understanding of what brings me joy? Am I more courageous and self-expressed?\r\n\r\nWith the <i>Solar Eclipse</i> in <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>, we have our eye on the future. The highest vibration of Aquarius gives us the opportunity to see a clear vision for our life -- and we are ready to make huge improvements.\r\n\r\n<strong>Aquarius</strong> also deals with the power of ideals, technology, and inventions. We are interested in the collective focus on changing group consciousness; we strive for equality, collaboration, progress. This eclipse invites us to bring this higher vibration to our ability to be courageous and joyful in our own right.\r\n\r\n<i>South Node Eclipses</i> invite us to become aware of the lower vibrations of a sign, so we can release those energies or attachments that no longer serve our evolution, and move toward the higher vibration of the sign -- in this case, that would obviously be Aquarius -- so what do the lower Aquarian vibrations look and feel like?\r\n\r\nAt a lower <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, we feel like outsiders -- as though we don\'t fit in, are maybe a little <i>too</i> different. We want to rebel against social structures that don\'t fit with our vision.\r\n\r\nWe get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not take responsibility for our part in the collective -- when we do not honor our individual genius, our unique contribution to society or our communities. Ask yourself:\r\n\r\nWhat stops me from connecting to my inner genius? What if I allowed myself to be both different <i>and</i> connected to others? What if taking responsibility for \"how things are\" was the perfect jump-start for a better future?\r\n\r\nTo move even further into that higher <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, try also asking yourself the following questions: Where am I called to make a difference? What could I, as an individual, do for humanity? And how might group consciousness help humanity make progress? Where can I begin?\r\n\r\nEvery single one of us has a special gift, a spark unique to us; when we access our inner genius and share it with the world, we can make quantum leaps of insight and embark on remarkable collaborations with others. Ask yourself: How does my inner genius communicate? Where does it want to show up?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) currently in <strong>Aries</strong>, sextiles the Sun, Moon, and Mercury in <strong>Aquarius</strong>. </i>This is a tremendous opportunity for all of us to become more aware of our individual impact on the collective: We are all agents of change. Already. Always.\r\n\r\nRight now, our individual capacity to effect change is far greater than we realize — especially for those of us with Uranus, Aquarius, or 11th house planets strongly emphasized in our birth chart — and when we team up with others who also care deeply about creating a better future, we can create real change.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How can I inspire others to foster progress? What becomes possible when we all connect with the intention to create meaningful change for everyone? For all living things?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong> squares the Solar Eclipse, sextiles Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, and trines Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong>. </i>This combo invites us to stretch ourselves for the duration of this Eclipse cycle -- to grow beyond what we currently know ourselves to be -- it supports our ability to build a more meaningful future and allows us to engage more fully in our current healing process.\r\n\r\nHere\'s a good start: We all have \"survival tactics\" we formed in response to past circumstances. Ask yourself: What if I expanded my awareness and comprehension of my personal survival tactics by just 5%? What might a new perspective on my fears and defenses show me? What if I relentlessly questioned old beliefs about intimate or financial partnerships? What might I discover about what has become true in the meantime? If I genuinely allowed this insight to change my behaviors and expectations, what might that look like?\r\n\r\nAs always when Chiron is involved, aim for wholeness, forgiveness — above all, keep a courageously open heart — our light shines all the brighter when all of our authentic self is visible, even the shadowy parts :-)\r\n\r\n<i>Eclipses</i> are a time for clarifying and affirming our highest path. We are bound to experience a release -- and a recalibration: “old” codes will get deleted and new programming downloaded. This is especially true when connected with our vision for the future (and for the collective).\r\n\r\nSuppressing or denying the unique gifts we each bring to the collective experience is even less wise than before; we are more aware than ever that we <b>are interconnected</b> and thus every single one of us contributes to the human experience and is capable of making a difference on this shared journey.\r\n\r\nSince Eclipse season continues until Feb. 25th, I highly recommend again that you treat yourself to the video of my most recent Forecasting Forum -- we covered the Eclipses, including this Solar Eclipse in <b>Aquarius</b>, looking directly at our own birth charts to see how this affects each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar on my website).\r\n\r\nOr...\r\n\r\nYou may recall that I now offer membership plans -- you could <b>get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, plus a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum, by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\r\n\r\n<b>Between now and Feb. 25th</b>, allow for the new templates to download; stay centered and do your best to ground from within. Try using conscious breathing, flexibility -- and best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body… And if nothing else, remember: this won\'t last forever -- in another two weeks, the downloads are complete ;-)  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">Again, I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in one of the following placements: 22-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, Scorpio, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly.</i>\r\n\r\nNow let’s talk “Intentions” :-) Regular readers will know that we usually use the time of the New Moon to set intentions for the coming month.\r\n\r\nWith a Solar Eclipse, we want to <b>wait 48 hours before setting our intentions </b>-- in Saturdays Forecast, I’ll be talking about setting some powerful intentions, not just for the next month as is usual for a New Moon, but for the next <i>six</i> months -- and I\'ll give you the very best times for setting them. <i></i>\r\n<i></i>\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Thursday late afternoon, at 4:05pm EST,</b> at the same time as the New Moon becomes exact, we also enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 6 hours, <b>until 9:42 pm EST</b>. Use this intuitive time to go within and meditate or pray/give thanks/converse with your higher Self.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your Thursday evening ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday evening,  </b><i>an opportune Venus/Saturn aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:19 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday night and it will stay strong until Saturday. </b>This aspect gives us an opportunity to bring a sense of realism to our relationships, values, and financial affairs: We are more able to see what really needs to be dealt with in those areas and take responsibility for our handling of them.\r\n\r\nOn a financial level, we have an opportunity to see more clearly when and how we might make long-term investments. There\'s no need to rush anything; think it through carefully and responsibly -- do the \"due diligence\". Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us, we have to \"take\" it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 4-8 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)</i>.\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday evening at 9:42 pm EST,</b> <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces,</i></b><i> </i>where it will journey <b>until Sunday morning</b>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<b>Friday (Feb. 16<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>) </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <b>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday morning</strong>, we get an opportunity to be wholly present -- and also to focus on practicalities and long-term plans. As best as you can, bring a sense of flow and faith to your business dealings.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning</strong>, we have a chance to connect with other people from our compassionate heart. If we heed intuition and allow for all things to flow freely, we may discover that the Universe is always taking care of us ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late evening,</strong> we feel a need to go within and slow down -- and at the same time, we also want to move fast and have new experiences. This tension clearly invites us to stretch a little, and to seek resolution via creative solutions -- the key here is to listen to our intuition, so we don\'t drive ourselves or others crazy.\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Friday late evening,</strong> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday</strong> is also Chinese New Year. I am not very well-versed in Chinese astrology, so I\'ll just share an excerpt from a newsletter I received last week: \"Today is the start of the Chinese year of the Earth Dog. In Chinese tradition, Earth dogs are faithful, considerate and well-disciplined.\" -- Astro Butterfly\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday (Feb. 17<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>): </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday morning,</b> <i>a challenging Mars/Neptune aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:20 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Sunday evening and it will be strong until next week Thursday morning</b>. This aspect is asking us to stretch ourselves, in order to resolve a tension between the things we want to go after, versus our feelings about a higher, spiritual calling. We may be chasing a dream... or a fantasy.\r\n\r\nOrdinary life may seem drab and uninteresting to us right now. We tend to either over- or underestimate our own power and abilities. We want something that stirs our imagination: Some vision or ideal or dream to motivate us.\r\n\r\nWe have a strong urge to act out our fantasies or live out our dream -- and we have the energy now to DO that which others only talk or dream about -- but we tend to feel scattered. As best as you can, slow down and listen to your intuition before aimlessly zooming ahead. Inspire yourself and others.\r\n\r\n<i>Most impacted by this aspect: those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 10-16 degrees of</i><b><i> Sagittarius, Pisces</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Gemini, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday early morning, </b><i>a Sun/Mercury alignment</i> <i>in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact at 7:27 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday evening on, and it will be strong until next week Tuesday evening. </b>This aspect indicates a confident mind and an analytical approach to life. Intelligence and communication abilities are strong at this time; however, we may not listen as well as the other speaks -- we might be too busy thinking about what to say next.\r\n\r\nGiven that this alignment takes place in <strong>Aquarius</strong>, we may feel particularly cool and collected, detached even -- do your best to avoid arrogance or rigidity of thought.\r\n\r\nWe want an active role in communications -- it\'s very hard for us to passively listen and absorb information right now. What we say or write now is impactful, so choose your words wisely: If people hung on your every word, what would you say then? What would you hold back from saying?\r\n\r\nOur opinions are strong and our thinking independent -- and we\'re proud of both -- so our egos may get bruised if we don\'t feel \"heard\". As best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have a different opinion and that\'s ok.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 26-29 degrees of  </i><strong><i>Aquarius, Leo, Scorpio, Taurus, </i></strong><i>or</i><strong><i> </i></strong><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\">Pisces, Virgo, </b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo, Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday</b><b> afternoon (after 4:05pm EST)</b> is also the best time to set<i> our powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse Intentions</i>. Doing so during a Solar Eclipse is a little different from the regular monthly New Moon process: we are setting those intentions for the whole 6-month Eclipse cycle, rather than just for the next 28 days.\r\n\r\nSo when is the best time to do this? With a Solar Eclipse it is best to wait 48 hours after the Eclipse has been exact before setting any intentions; as always, we also want to avoid any <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> phases.\r\n\r\nThis gives us two \"windows\" for our 6-month intention-setting (all times are EST, which is the New York timezone):\r\n\r\nThe first window is on <b>Saturday, Feb. 17th, between 4:05pm and 5:14pm.</b>\r\n\r\nThe<b> </b>second would be <b>between 7:05am on Sunday, Feb. 18th, and 4:05pm the following day (Monday, Feb. 19th). </b>\r\n\r\nMake them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the <strong>Aquarian</strong> energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nThis Solar Eclipse reminds us that to be fully alive requires us to constantly stretch, grow, and change. So, while writing your intentions, ask yourself: What would it take for me to release old patterns from the past? How might that free me to create a more powerful vision for the future?\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday early evening,</b> <b>at 5:14 pm EST,</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 14 hours, <b>until 7:05 am EST (Sunday morning)</b>. Use this intuitive time to explore any beliefs connected to past experiences that left you feeling disempowered: How could a compassionate approach to the past allow for a new perspective?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your Saturday evening and Sunday early morning ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Late Saturday evening at 11:28 pm EST </b><i>Mercury changes signs from freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> to creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i>.</b> It will journey through Pisces until <b>March 6<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b>. We are moving from the mind into the heart. For these next two weeks, we get a chance to communicate with compassion -- we see the commonalities between us all, rather than what separates us.\r\n\r\nWe seem to be connected to Source more easily during this time -- if we allow that energy to come through -- and our thinking will be very creative, imaginative and intuitive.\r\n\r\nThe key with this energy is to remain in the “here and now” and open up to a higher vibration. If we can do that, we will be able to download information from an intuitive place, rather than thinking things through. This could also be the reason why our mind is slowing down a bit and why we speak more softly.\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> also offers us an opportunity to let go of any mental structures, conditionings or fears that are no longer serving us. If you are not connected to your intuition, you may want to double check with other people, before signing any documents or buying any big-ticket items. Are you ready to connect to your intuition more fully? Can you allow for the unfolding process, trusting your higher Self more fully?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more talkative during this time. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you may need to learn to surrender to a slower pace and connect more fully to your heart and intuition.  </i>\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday (Feb. 18<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>): </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><b> </b>and<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><b> until 7:05am EST.</b>\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday morning at 7:05 am EST </b><i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries,</i></b> where it will remain <b>until Tuesday afternoon</b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday afternoon at 12:18 pm</b> <i>the Sun moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> where it will remain <b>until March 20th. </b>This brings our awareness to our sense of oneness with everyone and everything around us. We feel like sponges, able to pick up all energy around us; this also makes us more sensitive and emotional. We are more drawn towards expressing ourselves in a creative or spiritual way.\r\n\r\nMusic or energy healing gives us vitality and can heighten our own personal vibrations. We need to slow down a little and listen to our intuition more fully -- if we ignore our feelings and the subtle messages we are getting, we will most likely feel more anxious and somewhat frustrated. This could also be connected to the slow pace that our body or our surroundings are demanding of us.\r\n\r\nThe keyword here is \"allowing\": as best as you can, be aware of what you are resisting, moment to moment, and create some space -- allow it to be as it is. Notice when you are picking up someone else\'s feelings rather than your own.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces </i></b><i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, your vitality will depend on allowing things to flow and being gentle with yourself.</i>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\">Last but not least, </span><b>Sunday </b><span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\"><b>after </b></span><b>7:05am EST, </b> you have all day to set your Solar Eclipse <span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\">Intentions. </span>Make them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the <strong>Aquarian</strong> energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>.

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday</strong><b> afternoon</b>, our focus intensifies -- we might even get a little obsessed with a project or task -- as best as you can, take breaks and don\'t forget to practice a little self-care ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday evening,</strong> we get the opportunity to investigate our deepest motivations and align them with our long-term goals and achievements (if we are awake at this time, of course). We are capable of great focus for the next couple of hours. As with all opportunities in life, this one is not simply handed to us, we have to make something of it. Might deeper perspectives into your psyche move you closer to long-term goals?\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday (Feb. 13<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> <i>the Moon remains in practical, </i><i>accomplishment-oriented</i><i> </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> <b>until 10:11am EST</b> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday very early morning,</b> <b>at 12:43am EST,</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for about 9.5 hours, <b>until 10:11am EST</b>.You may be aware of two seemingly conflicting desires: On the one hand, a need for serious, diligent accomplishment -- and on the other, a desire to break free and rebel against obligations.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take some breaks, and \"let your freak flag fly\" -- just for a moment -- and revel in it! As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your morning ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday at 10:11 am EST</b> <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> where it will be <b>until Thursday evening</b>. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday early evening</b> a <i>challenging Mercury/Jupiter aspect</i> becomes exact at 5:39 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from</b> <b>Sunday and it will be strong until Thursday. </b>This aspect asks that we grow and evolve in the following areas: how we communicate our vision for the future and how much we share with others. We may have to find creative solutions to communicate; we may have to learn about our thinking process and conditioning.\r\n\r\nWe want to share ourselves without limitation. We are thus inclined to exaggeration, often unintended -- and might struggle to transform ideas into reality. The upside to all this: we can be extraordinarily funny, interesting and creative.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday </b><i>an opportune Sun/Uranus aspect</i><b> </b>becomes exact at 9:23pm EST. <b>We started to feel this aspect Sunday evening on, and it will be strong until Thursday night. </b>We have the opportunity to become aware of an original or unique approach to life. Flexibility is the key to success at this time; pleasant changes may be in store -- certainly unexpected ones ;-)\r\n\r\nWhat is your uniqueness? How could you express that proudly and authentically? As best as you can, watch out for messages from the Universe! Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us: We have to \"realize\" it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo</i></b><i> or</i><b><i> Aquarius </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday (Feb. 14<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> (Valentine’s Day) <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>all day</b> (see Tuesday late morning for details)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday morning</strong> is an opportunity to connect with others and explore actively the things that can bring us progress.\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday </b>is also the <i>last day before the Solar Eclipse in</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact. There is some potent energy coming our way; it would be wise to prepare ourselves to be transformed by it, allowing for our consciousness upgrade to be installed.\r\n\r\nThis is a good time to slow things down and go within. For many of us, this will be a stretch, as we want to do just the opposite: jump the gun, get started with something new, act impulsively, etc. This is quite common right before a Solar Eclipse. As best as you can, stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions and connect to your inner wisdom.\r\n\r\nIt comes down to this: just for now and just as best as you can... could you simply allow what is... to be? Could you simply be the “observer” until the upgrade is complete?\r\n\r\nRather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing things. Think back to late Aug. 2017 -- the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo. What did you start around then? How could you complete it, or move it to the next level?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take the days immediately before and after the Eclipse for meditation, contemplation, journaling — anything that supports an objective understanding of your own thoughts and visions.\r\n\r\nOf course if, like most of us, you have other obligations: take 5-minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, get quiet and be with yourself (i.e. your inspirational Self, your higher mind). Ask yourself: What might become possible if you gave this to yourself on a regular basis?\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday (Feb. 15<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>) </b>is a big day! <i>The Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>until 9:42pm EST</b> (see Tuesday late morning for details)\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday morning</b> an <i>opportune Mercury/Uranus aspect</i> becomes exact at 10:07am EST. <b>We started to feel this from aspect from Wednesday on, and it will be strong until Friday</b>.This is an opportunity to connect our thinking and communication to a brighter, more collaborative vision for the future.\r\n\r\nIt also brings an opportunity for insight, novelty, and some really unusual conversations. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to realize it.\r\n\r\nThis aspect also brings an opportunity to view things from a different perspective or put a new spin on \"old\" thinking. We like to connect in unusual ways; any group activities or brainstorming with like-minded people could generate amazing insights -- this might be a busy day. As best as you can, or want to... stay open to other dimensions ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> <i>(Mercury is the ruler of Virgo and Gemini; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\nOn <b>Thursday at 4:05pm EST, </b><i>a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse in 27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> becomes exact. </i>This is the beginning of both a new Moon cycle and an Eclipse cycle.  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\nEclipses take place approximately every 6 months; <i>Solar Eclipses</i> are extra-powerful New Moons that end one 19-year cycle and begin another — the last Solar Eclipse in this same degree of Aquarius was back on Feb. 16th, 1999. We are likely to experience a resonance between now and that time — \"resonant\", rather than identical — so think back to the Spring of 1999:\r\n\r\nWere there any major endings and beginnings? What was important back then? If there were a call this time to take those priorities to the next level… Where would that next level find you?\r\n\r\nIf you\'re looking for more guidance on those questions, I would suggest taking a look at your Natal Chart: the House placement of the Eclipse will indicate which area of life is the readiest for a new level of consciousness.\r\n\r\nIf that idea appeals, I suggest checking out my <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">30-minute class, \"How to Read My Birth Chart”</a> -- you might also want to purchase the video of the most recent Forecasting Forum -- we looked directly at our own birth charts to see how this Solar Eclipse will affect each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar, available on my website).\r\n\r\nOr...\r\n\r\n<b>Get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, <b>plus</b> a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\r\n\r\nAlthough we have experienced several Eclipses in the Leo/Aquarius polarity since last year, this will be the <i>first Solar Eclipse in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>. This points to a new beginning of some sort, with the visionary Aquarian energy impacting the area of life indicated by its house placement in our individual birth charts.\r\n\r\nSolar Eclipses reveal pathways that can take us to the next level of our evolution. They herald shifts in consciousness; the shift connected with this particular Eclipse will unfold over the next 6 months.\r\n\r\nThe Sun and Moon are connected to one of the Moon Nodes during an Eclipse; in this case, the South Node -- and <i>South Node Eclipses</i> can help us release energies or attachments that no longer serve our Soul’s evolution. Again, feel free to check out my webinar about the Eclipses to see where this new beginning and next level of your Soul\'s evolution takes place for you.\r\n\r\nEclipses are Uranian in nature; as such, they are times of uncertainty -- so pretty much anything could happen <b>between now and the end of Eclipse season (Feb. 25th).</b>\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, stay both grounded <i>and</i> flexible — and don\'t jump the gun: If you feel compelled to do something, do your best to simply observe the urge. The exception might be something that happens organically -- but if you are ambivalent about a possible action, better hold off at least until the end of Eclipse Season (Feb. 25th).\r\n\r\nEclipses bring major endings and beginnings. As best you can, trust that whatever is leaving is making space for something better -- the more willing we are to change, the easier it will be.\r\n\r\nThat said, projects and interactions that got underway prior to Eclipse season (i.e. before Jan. 21st) are another matter -- don’t stop your life just because it is Eclipse season ;-) Pay attention also to anything that got started at the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo, in August of last year.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Do I have a better understanding of what brings me joy? Am I more courageous and self-expressed?\r\n\r\nWith the <i>Solar Eclipse</i> in <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>, we have our eye on the future. The highest vibration of Aquarius gives us the opportunity to see a clear vision for our life -- and we are ready to make huge improvements.\r\n\r\n<strong>Aquarius</strong> also deals with the power of ideals, technology, and inventions. We are interested in the collective focus on changing group consciousness; we strive for equality, collaboration, progress. This eclipse invites us to bring this higher vibration to our ability to be courageous and joyful in our own right.\r\n\r\n<i>South Node Eclipses</i> invite us to become aware of the lower vibrations of a sign, so we can release those energies or attachments that no longer serve our evolution, and move toward the higher vibration of the sign -- in this case, that would obviously be Aquarius -- so what do the lower Aquarian vibrations look and feel like?\r\n\r\nAt a lower <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, we feel like outsiders -- as though we don\'t fit in, are maybe a little <i>too</i> different. We want to rebel against social structures that don\'t fit with our vision.\r\n\r\nWe get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not take responsibility for our part in the collective -- when we do not honor our individual genius, our unique contribution to society or our communities. Ask yourself:\r\n\r\nWhat stops me from connecting to my inner genius? What if I allowed myself to be both different <i>and</i> connected to others? What if taking responsibility for \"how things are\" was the perfect jump-start for a better future?\r\n\r\nTo move even further into that higher <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, try also asking yourself the following questions: Where am I called to make a difference? What could I, as an individual, do for humanity? And how might group consciousness help humanity make progress? Where can I begin?\r\n\r\nEvery single one of us has a special gift, a spark unique to us; when we access our inner genius and share it with the world, we can make quantum leaps of insight and embark on remarkable collaborations with others. Ask yourself: How does my inner genius communicate? Where does it want to show up?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) currently in <strong>Aries</strong>, sextiles the Sun, Moon, and Mercury in <strong>Aquarius</strong>. </i>This is a tremendous opportunity for all of us to become more aware of our individual impact on the collective: We are all agents of change. Already. Always.\r\n\r\nRight now, our individual capacity to effect change is far greater than we realize — especially for those of us with Uranus, Aquarius, or 11th house planets strongly emphasized in our birth chart — and when we team up with others who also care deeply about creating a better future, we can create real change.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How can I inspire others to foster progress? What becomes possible when we all connect with the intention to create meaningful change for everyone? For all living things?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong> squares the Solar Eclipse, sextiles Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, and trines Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong>. </i>This combo invites us to stretch ourselves for the duration of this Eclipse cycle -- to grow beyond what we currently know ourselves to be -- it supports our ability to build a more meaningful future and allows us to engage more fully in our current healing process.\r\n\r\nHere\'s a good start: We all have \"survival tactics\" we formed in response to past circumstances. Ask yourself: What if I expanded my awareness and comprehension of my personal survival tactics by just 5%? What might a new perspective on my fears and defenses show me? What if I relentlessly questioned old beliefs about intimate or financial partnerships? What might I discover about what has become true in the meantime? If I genuinely allowed this insight to change my behaviors and expectations, what might that look like?\r\n\r\nAs always when Chiron is involved, aim for wholeness, forgiveness — above all, keep a courageously open heart — our light shines all the brighter when all of our authentic self is visible, even the shadowy parts :-)\r\n\r\n<i>Eclipses</i> are a time for clarifying and affirming our highest path. We are bound to experience a release -- and a recalibration: “old” codes will get deleted and new programming downloaded. This is especially true when connected with our vision for the future (and for the collective).\r\n\r\nSuppressing or denying the unique gifts we each bring to the collective experience is even less wise than before; we are more aware than ever that we <b>are interconnected</b> and thus every single one of us contributes to the human experience and is capable of making a difference on this shared journey.\r\n\r\nSince Eclipse season continues until Feb. 25th, I highly recommend again that you treat yourself to the video of my most recent Forecasting Forum -- we covered the Eclipses, including this Solar Eclipse in <b>Aquarius</b>, looking directly at our own birth charts to see how this affects each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar on my website).\r\n\r\nOr...\r\n\r\nYou may recall that I now offer membership plans -- you could <b>get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, plus a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum, by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\r\n\r\n<b>Between now and Feb. 25th</b>, allow for the new templates to download; stay centered and do your best to ground from within. Try using conscious breathing, flexibility -- and best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body… And if nothing else, remember: this won\'t last forever -- in another two weeks, the downloads are complete ;-)  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">Again, I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in one of the following placements: 22-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, Scorpio, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly.</i>\r\n\r\nNow let’s talk “Intentions” :-) Regular readers will know that we usually use the time of the New Moon to set intentions for the coming month.\r\n\r\nWith a Solar Eclipse, we want to <b>wait 48 hours before setting our intentions </b>-- in Saturdays Forecast, I’ll be talking about setting some powerful intentions, not just for the next month as is usual for a New Moon, but for the next <i>six</i> months -- and I\'ll give you the very best times for setting them. <i></i>\r\n<i></i>\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Thursday late afternoon, at 4:05pm EST,</b> at the same time as the New Moon becomes exact, we also enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 6 hours, <b>until 9:42 pm EST</b>. Use this intuitive time to go within and meditate or pray/give thanks/converse with your higher Self.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your Thursday evening ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday evening,  </b><i>an opportune Venus/Saturn aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:19 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday night and it will stay strong until Saturday. </b>This aspect gives us an opportunity to bring a sense of realism to our relationships, values, and financial affairs: We are more able to see what really needs to be dealt with in those areas and take responsibility for our handling of them.\r\n\r\nOn a financial level, we have an opportunity to see more clearly when and how we might make long-term investments. There\'s no need to rush anything; think it through carefully and responsibly -- do the \"due diligence\". Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us, we have to \"take\" it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 4-8 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)</i>.\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday evening at 9:42 pm EST,</b> <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces,</i></b><i> </i>where it will journey <b>until Sunday morning</b>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<b>Friday (Feb. 16<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>) </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <b>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday morning</strong>, we get an opportunity to be wholly present -- and also to focus on practicalities and long-term plans. As best as you can, bring a sense of flow and faith to your business dealings.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning</strong>, we have a chance to connect with other people from our compassionate heart. If we heed intuition and allow for all things to flow freely, we may discover that the Universe is always taking care of us ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late evening,</strong> we feel a need to go within and slow down -- and at the same time, we also want to move fast and have new experiences. This tension clearly invites us to stretch a little, and to seek resolution via creative solutions -- the key here is to listen to our intuition, so we don\'t drive ourselves or others crazy.\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Friday late evening,</strong> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday</strong> is also Chinese New Year. I am not very well-versed in Chinese astrology, so I\'ll just share an excerpt from a newsletter I received last week: \"Today is the start of the Chinese year of the Earth Dog. In Chinese tradition, Earth dogs are faithful, considerate and well-disciplined.\" -- Astro Butterfly\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday (Feb. 17<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>): </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday morning,</b> <i>a challenging Mars/Neptune aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:20 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Sunday evening and it will be strong until next week Thursday morning</b>. This aspect is asking us to stretch ourselves, in order to resolve a tension between the things we want to go after, versus our feelings about a higher, spiritual calling. We may be chasing a dream... or a fantasy.\r\n\r\nOrdinary life may seem drab and uninteresting to us right now. We tend to either over- or underestimate our own power and abilities. We want something that stirs our imagination: Some vision or ideal or dream to motivate us.\r\n\r\nWe have a strong urge to act out our fantasies or live out our dream -- and we have the energy now to DO that which others only talk or dream about -- but we tend to feel scattered. As best as you can, slow down and listen to your intuition before aimlessly zooming ahead. Inspire yourself and others.\r\n\r\n<i>Most impacted by this aspect: those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 10-16 degrees of</i><b><i> Sagittarius, Pisces</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Gemini, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday early morning, </b><i>a Sun/Mercury alignment</i> <i>in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact at 7:27 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday evening on, and it will be strong until next week Tuesday evening. </b>This aspect indicates a confident mind and an analytical approach to life. Intelligence and communication abilities are strong at this time; however, we may not listen as well as the other speaks -- we might be too busy thinking about what to say next.\r\n\r\nGiven that this alignment takes place in <strong>Aquarius</strong>, we may feel particularly cool and collected, detached even -- do your best to avoid arrogance or rigidity of thought.\r\n\r\nWe want an active role in communications -- it\'s very hard for us to passively listen and absorb information right now. What we say or write now is impactful, so choose your words wisely: If people hung on your every word, what would you say then? What would you hold back from saying?\r\n\r\nOur opinions are strong and our thinking independent -- and we\'re proud of both -- so our egos may get bruised if we don\'t feel \"heard\". As best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have a different opinion and that\'s ok.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 26-29 degrees of  </i><strong><i>Aquarius, Leo, Scorpio, Taurus, </i></strong><i>or</i><strong><i> </i></strong><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\">Pisces, Virgo, </b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo, Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday</b><b> afternoon (after 4:05pm EST)</b> is also the best time to set<i> our powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse Intentions</i>. Doing so during a Solar Eclipse is a little different from the regular monthly New Moon process: we are setting those intentions for the whole 6-month Eclipse cycle, rather than just for the next 28 days.\r\n\r\nSo when is the best time to do this? With a Solar Eclipse it is best to wait 48 hours after the Eclipse has been exact before setting any intentions; as always, we also want to avoid any <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> phases.\r\n\r\nThis gives us two \"windows\" for our 6-month intention-setting (all times are EST, which is the New York timezone):\r\n\r\nThe first window is on <b>Saturday, Feb. 17th, between 4:05pm and 5:14pm.</b>\r\n\r\nThe<b> </b>second would be <b>between 7:05am on Sunday, Feb. 18th, and 4:05pm the following day (Monday, Feb. 19th). </b>\r\n\r\nMake them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the <strong>Aquarian</strong> energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nThis Solar Eclipse reminds us that to be fully alive requires us to constantly stretch, grow, and change. So, while writing your intentions, ask yourself: What would it take for me to release old patterns from the past? How might that free me to create a more powerful vision for the future?\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday early evening,</b> <b>at 5:14 pm EST,</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 14 hours, <b>until 7:05 am EST (Sunday morning)</b>. Use this intuitive time to explore any beliefs connected to past experiences that left you feeling disempowered: How could a compassionate approach to the past allow for a new perspective?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your Saturday evening and Sunday early morning ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Late Saturday evening at 11:28 pm EST </b><i>Mercury changes signs from freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> to creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i>.</b> It will journey through Pisces until <b>March 6<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b>. We are moving from the mind into the heart. For these next two weeks, we get a chance to communicate with compassion -- we see the commonalities between us all, rather than what separates us.\r\n\r\nWe seem to be connected to Source more easily during this time -- if we allow that energy to come through -- and our thinking will be very creative, imaginative and intuitive.\r\n\r\nThe key with this energy is to remain in the “here and now” and open up to a higher vibration. If we can do that, we will be able to download information from an intuitive place, rather than thinking things through. This could also be the reason why our mind is slowing down a bit and why we speak more softly.\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> also offers us an opportunity to let go of any mental structures, conditionings or fears that are no longer serving us. If you are not connected to your intuition, you may want to double check with other people, before signing any documents or buying any big-ticket items. Are you ready to connect to your intuition more fully? Can you allow for the unfolding process, trusting your higher Self more fully?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more talkative during this time. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you may need to learn to surrender to a slower pace and connect more fully to your heart and intuition.  </i>\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday (Feb. 18<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>): </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><b> </b>and<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><b> until 7:05am EST.</b>\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday morning at 7:05 am EST </b><i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries,</i></b> where it will remain <b>until Tuesday afternoon</b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday afternoon at 12:18 pm</b> <i>the Sun moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> where it will remain <b>until March 20th. </b>This brings our awareness to our sense of oneness with everyone and everything around us. We feel like sponges, able to pick up all energy around us; this also makes us more sensitive and emotional. We are more drawn towards expressing ourselves in a creative or spiritual way.\r\n\r\nMusic or energy healing gives us vitality and can heighten our own personal vibrations. We need to slow down a little and listen to our intuition more fully -- if we ignore our feelings and the subtle messages we are getting, we will most likely feel more anxious and somewhat frustrated. This could also be connected to the slow pace that our body or our surroundings are demanding of us.\r\n\r\nThe keyword here is \"allowing\": as best as you can, be aware of what you are resisting, moment to moment, and create some space -- allow it to be as it is. Notice when you are picking up someone else\'s feelings rather than your own.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces </i></b><i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, your vitality will depend on allowing things to flow and being gentle with yourself.</i>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\">Last but not least, </span><b>Sunday </b><span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\"><b>after </b></span><b>7:05am EST, </b> you have all day to set your Solar Eclipse <span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\">Intentions. </span>Make them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the <strong>Aquarian</strong> energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>.

Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday</strong><b> afternoon</b>, our focus intensifies -- we might even get a little obsessed with a project or task -- as best as you can, take breaks and don\'t forget to practice a little self-care ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday evening,</strong> we get the opportunity to investigate our deepest motivations and align them with our long-term goals and achievements (if we are awake at this time, of course). We are capable of great focus for the next couple of hours. As with all opportunities in life, this one is not simply handed to us, we have to make something of it. Might deeper perspectives into your psyche move you closer to long-term goals?\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday (Feb. 13<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> <i>the Moon remains in practical, </i><i>accomplishment-oriented</i><i> </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> <b>until 10:11am EST</b> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday very early morning,</b> <b>at 12:43am EST,</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for about 9.5 hours, <b>until 10:11am EST</b>.You may be aware of two seemingly conflicting desires: On the one hand, a need for serious, diligent accomplishment -- and on the other, a desire to break free and rebel against obligations.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take some breaks, and \"let your freak flag fly\" -- just for a moment -- and revel in it! As always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your morning ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday at 10:11 am EST</b> <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> where it will be <b>until Thursday evening</b>. The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday early evening</b> a <i>challenging Mercury/Jupiter aspect</i> becomes exact at 5:39 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from</b> <b>Sunday and it will be strong until Thursday. </b>This aspect asks that we grow and evolve in the following areas: how we communicate our vision for the future and how much we share with others. We may have to find creative solutions to communicate; we may have to learn about our thinking process and conditioning.\r\n\r\nWe want to share ourselves without limitation. We are thus inclined to exaggeration, often unintended -- and might struggle to transform ideas into reality. The upside to all this: we can be extraordinarily funny, interesting and creative.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday </b><i>an opportune Sun/Uranus aspect</i><b> </b>becomes exact at 9:23pm EST. <b>We started to feel this aspect Sunday evening on, and it will be strong until Thursday night. </b>We have the opportunity to become aware of an original or unique approach to life. Flexibility is the key to success at this time; pleasant changes may be in store -- certainly unexpected ones ;-)\r\n\r\nWhat is your uniqueness? How could you express that proudly and authentically? As best as you can, watch out for messages from the Universe! Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us: We have to \"realize\" it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo</i></b><i> or</i><b><i> Aquarius </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Uranus rules Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday (Feb. 14<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>)</b> (Valentine’s Day) <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>all day</b> (see Tuesday late morning for details)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday morning</strong> is an opportunity to connect with others and explore actively the things that can bring us progress.\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday </b>is also the <i>last day before the Solar Eclipse in</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact. There is some potent energy coming our way; it would be wise to prepare ourselves to be transformed by it, allowing for our consciousness upgrade to be installed.\r\n\r\nThis is a good time to slow things down and go within. For many of us, this will be a stretch, as we want to do just the opposite: jump the gun, get started with something new, act impulsively, etc. This is quite common right before a Solar Eclipse. As best as you can, stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions and connect to your inner wisdom.\r\n\r\nIt comes down to this: just for now and just as best as you can... could you simply allow what is... to be? Could you simply be the “observer” until the upgrade is complete?\r\n\r\nRather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing things. Think back to late Aug. 2017 -- the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo. What did you start around then? How could you complete it, or move it to the next level?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take the days immediately before and after the Eclipse for meditation, contemplation, journaling — anything that supports an objective understanding of your own thoughts and visions.\r\n\r\nOf course if, like most of us, you have other obligations: take 5-minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, get quiet and be with yourself (i.e. your inspirational Self, your higher mind). Ask yourself: What might become possible if you gave this to yourself on a regular basis?\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday (Feb. 15<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>) </b>is a big day! <i>The Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <b>until 9:42pm EST</b> (see Tuesday late morning for details)\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday morning</b> an <i>opportune Mercury/Uranus aspect</i> becomes exact at 10:07am EST. <b>We started to feel this from aspect from Wednesday on, and it will be strong until Friday</b>.This is an opportunity to connect our thinking and communication to a brighter, more collaborative vision for the future.\r\n\r\nIt also brings an opportunity for insight, novelty, and some really unusual conversations. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to realize it.\r\n\r\nThis aspect also brings an opportunity to view things from a different perspective or put a new spin on \"old\" thinking. We like to connect in unusual ways; any group activities or brainstorming with like-minded people could generate amazing insights -- this might be a busy day. As best as you can, or want to... stay open to other dimensions ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b> <i>(Mercury is the ruler of Virgo and Gemini; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\nOn <b>Thursday at 4:05pm EST, </b><i>a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse in 27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> becomes exact. </i>This is the beginning of both a new Moon cycle and an Eclipse cycle.  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\nEclipses take place approximately every 6 months; <i>Solar Eclipses</i> are extra-powerful New Moons that end one 19-year cycle and begin another — the last Solar Eclipse in this same degree of Aquarius was back on Feb. 16th, 1999. We are likely to experience a resonance between now and that time — \"resonant\", rather than identical — so think back to the Spring of 1999:\r\n\r\nWere there any major endings and beginnings? What was important back then? If there were a call this time to take those priorities to the next level… Where would that next level find you?\r\n\r\nIf you\'re looking for more guidance on those questions, I would suggest taking a look at your Natal Chart: the House placement of the Eclipse will indicate which area of life is the readiest for a new level of consciousness.\r\n\r\nIf that idea appeals, I suggest checking out my <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">30-minute class, \"How to Read My Birth Chart”</a> -- you might also want to purchase the video of the most recent Forecasting Forum -- we looked directly at our own birth charts to see how this Solar Eclipse will affect each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar, available on my website).\r\n\r\nOr...\r\n\r\n<b>Get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, <b>plus</b> a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\r\n\r\nAlthough we have experienced several Eclipses in the Leo/Aquarius polarity since last year, this will be the <i>first Solar Eclipse in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>. This points to a new beginning of some sort, with the visionary Aquarian energy impacting the area of life indicated by its house placement in our individual birth charts.\r\n\r\nSolar Eclipses reveal pathways that can take us to the next level of our evolution. They herald shifts in consciousness; the shift connected with this particular Eclipse will unfold over the next 6 months.\r\n\r\nThe Sun and Moon are connected to one of the Moon Nodes during an Eclipse; in this case, the South Node -- and <i>South Node Eclipses</i> can help us release energies or attachments that no longer serve our Soul’s evolution. Again, feel free to check out my webinar about the Eclipses to see where this new beginning and next level of your Soul\'s evolution takes place for you.\r\n\r\nEclipses are Uranian in nature; as such, they are times of uncertainty -- so pretty much anything could happen <b>between now and the end of Eclipse season (Feb. 25th).</b>\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, stay both grounded <i>and</i> flexible — and don\'t jump the gun: If you feel compelled to do something, do your best to simply observe the urge. The exception might be something that happens organically -- but if you are ambivalent about a possible action, better hold off at least until the end of Eclipse Season (Feb. 25th).\r\n\r\nEclipses bring major endings and beginnings. As best you can, trust that whatever is leaving is making space for something better -- the more willing we are to change, the easier it will be.\r\n\r\nThat said, projects and interactions that got underway prior to Eclipse season (i.e. before Jan. 21st) are another matter -- don’t stop your life just because it is Eclipse season ;-) Pay attention also to anything that got started at the time of the last Solar Eclipse in Leo, in August of last year.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Do I have a better understanding of what brings me joy? Am I more courageous and self-expressed?\r\n\r\nWith the <i>Solar Eclipse</i> in <i>freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b>, we have our eye on the future. The highest vibration of Aquarius gives us the opportunity to see a clear vision for our life -- and we are ready to make huge improvements.\r\n\r\n<strong>Aquarius</strong> also deals with the power of ideals, technology, and inventions. We are interested in the collective focus on changing group consciousness; we strive for equality, collaboration, progress. This eclipse invites us to bring this higher vibration to our ability to be courageous and joyful in our own right.\r\n\r\n<i>South Node Eclipses</i> invite us to become aware of the lower vibrations of a sign, so we can release those energies or attachments that no longer serve our evolution, and move toward the higher vibration of the sign -- in this case, that would obviously be Aquarius -- so what do the lower Aquarian vibrations look and feel like?\r\n\r\nAt a lower <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, we feel like outsiders -- as though we don\'t fit in, are maybe a little <i>too</i> different. We want to rebel against social structures that don\'t fit with our vision.\r\n\r\nWe get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not take responsibility for our part in the collective -- when we do not honor our individual genius, our unique contribution to society or our communities. Ask yourself:\r\n\r\nWhat stops me from connecting to my inner genius? What if I allowed myself to be both different <i>and</i> connected to others? What if taking responsibility for \"how things are\" was the perfect jump-start for a better future?\r\n\r\nTo move even further into that higher <strong>Aquarian</strong> vibration, try also asking yourself the following questions: Where am I called to make a difference? What could I, as an individual, do for humanity? And how might group consciousness help humanity make progress? Where can I begin?\r\n\r\nEvery single one of us has a special gift, a spark unique to us; when we access our inner genius and share it with the world, we can make quantum leaps of insight and embark on remarkable collaborations with others. Ask yourself: How does my inner genius communicate? Where does it want to show up?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus (the modern ruler of Aquarius) currently in <strong>Aries</strong>, sextiles the Sun, Moon, and Mercury in <strong>Aquarius</strong>. </i>This is a tremendous opportunity for all of us to become more aware of our individual impact on the collective: We are all agents of change. Already. Always.\r\n\r\nRight now, our individual capacity to effect change is far greater than we realize — especially for those of us with Uranus, Aquarius, or 11th house planets strongly emphasized in our birth chart — and when we team up with others who also care deeply about creating a better future, we can create real change.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How can I inspire others to foster progress? What becomes possible when we all connect with the intention to create meaningful change for everyone? For all living things?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong> squares the Solar Eclipse, sextiles Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, and trines Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong>. </i>This combo invites us to stretch ourselves for the duration of this Eclipse cycle -- to grow beyond what we currently know ourselves to be -- it supports our ability to build a more meaningful future and allows us to engage more fully in our current healing process.\r\n\r\nHere\'s a good start: We all have \"survival tactics\" we formed in response to past circumstances. Ask yourself: What if I expanded my awareness and comprehension of my personal survival tactics by just 5%? What might a new perspective on my fears and defenses show me? What if I relentlessly questioned old beliefs about intimate or financial partnerships? What might I discover about what has become true in the meantime? If I genuinely allowed this insight to change my behaviors and expectations, what might that look like?\r\n\r\nAs always when Chiron is involved, aim for wholeness, forgiveness — above all, keep a courageously open heart — our light shines all the brighter when all of our authentic self is visible, even the shadowy parts :-)\r\n\r\n<i>Eclipses</i> are a time for clarifying and affirming our highest path. We are bound to experience a release -- and a recalibration: “old” codes will get deleted and new programming downloaded. This is especially true when connected with our vision for the future (and for the collective).\r\n\r\nSuppressing or denying the unique gifts we each bring to the collective experience is even less wise than before; we are more aware than ever that we <b>are interconnected</b> and thus every single one of us contributes to the human experience and is capable of making a difference on this shared journey.\r\n\r\nSince Eclipse season continues until Feb. 25th, I highly recommend again that you treat yourself to the video of my most recent Forecasting Forum -- we covered the Eclipses, including this Solar Eclipse in <b>Aquarius</b>, looking directly at our own birth charts to see how this affects each of us. For the next two week only (until Feb. 25th), I\'m offering a 35% discount on this webinar on my website).\r\n\r\nOr...\r\n\r\nYou may recall that I now offer membership plans -- you could <b>get a free</b> copy of the entire webinar, plus a subscription to the Monthly Forecasting Forum, by signing up for my Star or SuperStar Membership before the end of the month ;-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\">Click here to take advantage of that deal!</a>\r\n\r\n<b>Between now and Feb. 25th</b>, allow for the new templates to download; stay centered and do your best to ground from within. Try using conscious breathing, flexibility -- and best of all, see if you can move to the “observer position” when it comes to the emotional and mental body… And if nothing else, remember: this won\'t last forever -- in another two weeks, the downloads are complete ;-)  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">Again, I also recommend you watch my Solar Eclipse video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in one of the following placements: 22-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius, Leo, Taurus, Scorpio, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly.</i>\r\n\r\nNow let’s talk “Intentions” :-) Regular readers will know that we usually use the time of the New Moon to set intentions for the coming month.\r\n\r\nWith a Solar Eclipse, we want to <b>wait 48 hours before setting our intentions </b>-- in Saturdays Forecast, I’ll be talking about setting some powerful intentions, not just for the next month as is usual for a New Moon, but for the next <i>six</i> months -- and I\'ll give you the very best times for setting them. <i></i>\r\n<i></i>\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Thursday late afternoon, at 4:05pm EST,</b> at the same time as the New Moon becomes exact, we also enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 6 hours, <b>until 9:42 pm EST</b>. Use this intuitive time to go within and meditate or pray/give thanks/converse with your higher Self.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your Thursday evening ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday evening,  </b><i>an opportune Venus/Saturn aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:19 pm EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday night and it will stay strong until Saturday. </b>This aspect gives us an opportunity to bring a sense of realism to our relationships, values, and financial affairs: We are more able to see what really needs to be dealt with in those areas and take responsibility for our handling of them.\r\n\r\nOn a financial level, we have an opportunity to see more clearly when and how we might make long-term investments. There\'s no need to rush anything; think it through carefully and responsibly -- do the \"due diligence\". Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us, we have to \"take\" it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 4-8 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)</i>.\r\n\r\n<b>Thursday evening at 9:42 pm EST,</b> <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces,</i></b><i> </i>where it will journey <b>until Sunday morning</b>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<b>Friday (Feb. 16<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>) </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <b>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday morning</strong>, we get an opportunity to be wholly present -- and also to focus on practicalities and long-term plans. As best as you can, bring a sense of flow and faith to your business dealings.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning</strong>, we have a chance to connect with other people from our compassionate heart. If we heed intuition and allow for all things to flow freely, we may discover that the Universe is always taking care of us ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late evening,</strong> we feel a need to go within and slow down -- and at the same time, we also want to move fast and have new experiences. This tension clearly invites us to stretch a little, and to seek resolution via creative solutions -- the key here is to listen to our intuition, so we don\'t drive ourselves or others crazy.\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Friday late evening,</strong> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday</strong> is also Chinese New Year. I am not very well-versed in Chinese astrology, so I\'ll just share an excerpt from a newsletter I received last week: \"Today is the start of the Chinese year of the Earth Dog. In Chinese tradition, Earth dogs are faithful, considerate and well-disciplined.\" -- Astro Butterfly\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday (Feb. 17<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>): </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday morning,</b> <i>a challenging Mars/Neptune aspect</i> becomes exact at 6:20 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Sunday evening and it will be strong until next week Thursday morning</b>. This aspect is asking us to stretch ourselves, in order to resolve a tension between the things we want to go after, versus our feelings about a higher, spiritual calling. We may be chasing a dream... or a fantasy.\r\n\r\nOrdinary life may seem drab and uninteresting to us right now. We tend to either over- or underestimate our own power and abilities. We want something that stirs our imagination: Some vision or ideal or dream to motivate us.\r\n\r\nWe have a strong urge to act out our fantasies or live out our dream -- and we have the energy now to DO that which others only talk or dream about -- but we tend to feel scattered. As best as you can, slow down and listen to your intuition before aimlessly zooming ahead. Inspire yourself and others.\r\n\r\n<i>Most impacted by this aspect: those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 10-16 degrees of</i><b><i> Sagittarius, Pisces</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Gemini, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday early morning, </b><i>a Sun/Mercury alignment</i> <i>in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> becomes exact at 7:27 am EST. <b>We started to feel this from Tuesday evening on, and it will be strong until next week Tuesday evening. </b>This aspect indicates a confident mind and an analytical approach to life. Intelligence and communication abilities are strong at this time; however, we may not listen as well as the other speaks -- we might be too busy thinking about what to say next.\r\n\r\nGiven that this alignment takes place in <strong>Aquarius</strong>, we may feel particularly cool and collected, detached even -- do your best to avoid arrogance or rigidity of thought.\r\n\r\nWe want an active role in communications -- it\'s very hard for us to passively listen and absorb information right now. What we say or write now is impactful, so choose your words wisely: If people hung on your every word, what would you say then? What would you hold back from saying?\r\n\r\nOur opinions are strong and our thinking independent -- and we\'re proud of both -- so our egos may get bruised if we don\'t feel \"heard\". As best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have a different opinion and that\'s ok.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 26-29 degrees of  </i><strong><i>Aquarius, Leo, Scorpio, Taurus, </i></strong><i>or</i><strong><i> </i></strong><i>0-2 degrees of </i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\">Pisces, Virgo, </b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><b><i>? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo, Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)</i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday</b><b> afternoon (after 4:05pm EST)</b> is also the best time to set<i> our powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse Intentions</i>. Doing so during a Solar Eclipse is a little different from the regular monthly New Moon process: we are setting those intentions for the whole 6-month Eclipse cycle, rather than just for the next 28 days.\r\n\r\nSo when is the best time to do this? With a Solar Eclipse it is best to wait 48 hours after the Eclipse has been exact before setting any intentions; as always, we also want to avoid any <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> phases.\r\n\r\nThis gives us two \"windows\" for our 6-month intention-setting (all times are EST, which is the New York timezone):\r\n\r\nThe first window is on <b>Saturday, Feb. 17th, between 4:05pm and 5:14pm.</b>\r\n\r\nThe<b> </b>second would be <b>between 7:05am on Sunday, Feb. 18th, and 4:05pm the following day (Monday, Feb. 19th). </b>\r\n\r\nMake them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the <strong>Aquarian</strong> energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nThis Solar Eclipse reminds us that to be fully alive requires us to constantly stretch, grow, and change. So, while writing your intentions, ask yourself: What would it take for me to release old patterns from the past? How might that free me to create a more powerful vision for the future?\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday early evening,</b> <b>at 5:14 pm EST,</b> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course phase</a> that lasts for almost 14 hours, <b>until 7:05 am EST (Sunday morning)</b>. Use this intuitive time to explore any beliefs connected to past experiences that left you feeling disempowered: How could a compassionate approach to the past allow for a new perspective?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don’t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan your Saturday evening and Sunday early morning ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Late Saturday evening at 11:28 pm EST </b><i>Mercury changes signs from freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> to creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i>.</b> It will journey through Pisces until <b>March 6<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b>. We are moving from the mind into the heart. For these next two weeks, we get a chance to communicate with compassion -- we see the commonalities between us all, rather than what separates us.\r\n\r\nWe seem to be connected to Source more easily during this time -- if we allow that energy to come through -- and our thinking will be very creative, imaginative and intuitive.\r\n\r\nThe key with this energy is to remain in the “here and now” and open up to a higher vibration. If we can do that, we will be able to download information from an intuitive place, rather than thinking things through. This could also be the reason why our mind is slowing down a bit and why we speak more softly.\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> also offers us an opportunity to let go of any mental structures, conditionings or fears that are no longer serving us. If you are not connected to your intuition, you may want to double check with other people, before signing any documents or buying any big-ticket items. Are you ready to connect to your intuition more fully? Can you allow for the unfolding process, trusting your higher Self more fully?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more talkative during this time. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you may need to learn to surrender to a slower pace and connect more fully to your heart and intuition.  </i>\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday (Feb. 18<span style=\"font-size: 11.666666030883789px;\">th</span></b><b>): </b><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><b> </b>and<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><b> until 7:05am EST.</b>\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday morning at 7:05 am EST </b><i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries,</i></b> where it will remain <b>until Tuesday afternoon</b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday afternoon at 12:18 pm</b> <i>the Sun moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> where it will remain <b>until March 20th. </b>This brings our awareness to our sense of oneness with everyone and everything around us. We feel like sponges, able to pick up all energy around us; this also makes us more sensitive and emotional. We are more drawn towards expressing ourselves in a creative or spiritual way.\r\n\r\nMusic or energy healing gives us vitality and can heighten our own personal vibrations. We need to slow down a little and listen to our intuition more fully -- if we ignore our feelings and the subtle messages we are getting, we will most likely feel more anxious and somewhat frustrated. This could also be connected to the slow pace that our body or our surroundings are demanding of us.\r\n\r\nThe keyword here is \"allowing\": as best as you can, be aware of what you are resisting, moment to moment, and create some space -- allow it to be as it is. Notice when you are picking up someone else\'s feelings rather than your own.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces </i></b><i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, your vitality will depend on allowing things to flow and being gentle with yourself.</i>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\">Last but not least, </span><b>Sunday </b><span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\"><b>after </b></span><b>7:05am EST, </b> you have all day to set your Solar Eclipse <span style=\"font-family: verdana, sans-serif;\">Intentions. </span>Make them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the <strong>Aquarian</strong> energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>.

You may also want to plan Monday morning ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 8:23am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday early evening</strong>.<b> </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 6th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b>(see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 2:34am EST</strong>, <i>Mercury changes signs from dreamy, creative</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>to enthusiastic, direct</i> <b><i>Aries. </i></b>It will journey through this courageous sign, for an unusually long time, <b>until </b><b>May 13th</b> (due to its 3-week retrograde phase that starts on March 22nd).<i> </i>During this time, our thinking speeds up, and we are eager for new endeavors.\r\n\r\nGiven that we want to achieve our goals as quickly as possible, we may come off impulsive and impatient, and must therefore speak (and get answers) faster. Nothing stands in our way now: we are ready, we are brave, we want what we want and we want it now ;-)\r\n\r\nAs you can perhaps imagine, we need to watch out for blurting things out prematurely or inappropriately; as best you can, choose your words carefully and pause before responding ;-)\r\n\r\nRemember, everyone else is feeling the Aries energy quite strongly too, so do your best to not take it personally if someone ignores what you want, or says something insensitive. Keep the focus on yourself instead -- and take responsibility for how you are communicating or expressing yourself.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel especially chatty for the next 9 weeks. Your mental energy will be quite active and you feel the need to connect to others -- whether it be in person, via email, over the phone or via social media. New ideas and new connections are very likely. </i>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel a tremendous energy burst for the next 9 weeks: really enthusiastic and physically strong.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:45pm EST, </strong><i>Venus changes signs from intuitive, creative, </i><i>dreamy </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> to fast-paced, enthusiastic, active </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>,</i><i> </i>where it will journey <strong>until March 31st. </strong>Until then, we are going to feel passionate about connecting to others. We are ready to make a new start: if you are single, this could be a great chance to start something new (all things being equal ;-)\r\n\r\nWith Venus in <strong>Aries</strong>, spontaneity and independence are important to us. You’re not the only one who likes a challenge, so don\'t make it too easy for others to win you over ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you are already in a committed relationship, you get a wonderful chance to bring freshness and excitement to your bedroom and \"other parts of the house\" ;-) We also have more energy than usual; we are more likely to want to get out of the house, and be active with others.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, beauty and love will enter your life during this time, you will feel more attractive and you will attract things to you. As a </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i>, you will feel more energized, passionate and more direct than usual.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 7th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><strong><b><i>Scorpio</i></b></strong><strong> until 5:03pm EST</strong> (see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 3:55am EST</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 13 hours, <strong>until 5:03pm EST</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with others on a deep emotional level, and explore greater truths about your ability to make those authentic connections.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday morning and afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 5:03pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i>, </b>where it will journey<i> <strong>until Saturday early morning</strong></i><b>. </b>We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things. This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Friday morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 8th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b></strong> (see Wednesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday around 11pm EST, </strong><i>Mercury enters a 3-week shadow phase</i><i>, as it reaches 4 degrees and 47 minutes of </i><b><i>Aries. </i></b>This precedes the retrograde phase, which will begin on March 22nd in almost 17 degrees of <b>Aries</b> (more on that in 3 weeks).\r\n\r\nSo what is the \"shadow phase\"? To explain this, I\'ll quickly cover what happens when a planet \"stations\" and then goes \"retrograde\".\r\n\r\nRelative to us on Earth, a planet sometimes looks like it is slowing down (\"stationing\"), then stopping. After being still for a while, it actually appears to go \"backward\" through the sky (this is the \"retrograde\" phase). It\'s a little like catching up to a car on the highway, driving exactly alongside it for a moment, then passing it and pulling ahead.\r\n\r\nAt first, retrograde movement is slow, but the planet gradually reaches its normal pace through the sky -- except it\'s going backward. The process then reverses itself: the backward pace slows, the planet crawls to a \"halt\", then it starts to move forward again (i.e. it goes direct). In our car analogy, it\'s like the car you just passed gradually speeds up and passes you again.\r\n\r\nThere are also two \"shadow\" phases -- during these, the planet travels over a part of the sky it will later \"revisit\". The first \"shadow\" comes before the planet moves backward; the second comes when the planet starts to catch back up (after going direct).\r\n\r\nIt\'s like you went hiking and left something behind at camp. If you went back to get it, you\'d have some catching up to do, and would see the same scenery twice or more.\r\n\r\nMercury\'s shadow phases usually last 2-3 weeks before and after the Retrograde phase.\r\n\r\nIf you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items -- especially connected to transportation (cars, airline tickets, etc.) or communication devices (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) -- be aware of the shadow periods as well as the retrograde phases. If possible, get these things done before Mercury enters it\'s shadow or wait until after the shadow phases are over -- that would be <strong>May 3rd</strong> in this case ;-)\r\n\r\nOf course, if there is something that <i>must</i> get done during these phases, don\'t put your whole life on hold, just because Mercury is retrograde or in it\'s shadow. Sometimes things line up exactly at the right time; as best as you can, trust that it\'s all \"perfect\" ;-)\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Thursday late evening, at 11:45pm EST, </strong><i>Jupiter comes to a halt </i>at 23 degrees of <strong>Scorpio</strong>,<b> </b>starting its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. The retrograde phases are inner processes -- they help us connect to a particular energy internally, and thus express it externally (once Jupiter goes direct again). Jupiter retrograde brings a chance to tap inner wisdom, optimism and sense of possibility, and an inner understanding of how the world works. This retrograde phase lasts <b>until July 10th.</b>\r\n\r\nDuring this time, we get to choose what we truly believe -- which beliefs serve us and which don\'t -- and we can more easily let go of limiting beliefs and experience new truths. While retrograde in <strong>Scorpio</strong> -- here are some coaching questions:\r\n\r\nWhat do I believe about my intimate partnerships? About empowerment? Disempowerment? Deep authentic connections? Where am I making assumptions that do not serve me? What might be holding me back?\r\n\r\nThe connection to inner wisdom is heightened. Ask yourself: What do I “just know”? If the answer is “I don’t know”, ask yourself “What if I did know? What mighty it be in that case?”\r\n\r\nFeel free to <a href=\"https://youtu.be/JtMJiPnnZWc\">check out my 30-minute excerpt</a> from my webinar about the Jupiter and Mercury Station and Retrograde phases in March: https://youtu.be/JtMJiPnnZWc\r\n\r\nAnd if you want to know how that will impact you personally, feel free to buy the whole 90+ min. webinar on the subject --  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a> -- we talked about what to expect for the next 4 weeks, and how it all applies to our own birth charts ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> 12-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this retrograde phase. This is also true for those of us who have our</i><i> Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter rules Sagittarius, so Sagittarius will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (March 9th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b> </strong>(see Wednesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 6:20am EST, </strong><i>the last Quarter Moon in almost 19 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b> will be exact.<b> </b>The Moon in adventurous, truth-seeking <b>Sagittarius</b> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in sensitive, dreamy, compassionate<b> Pisces. </b>This may bring up some challenges. However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to March 17th\'s New Moon in <strong>Pisces</strong>. We are thus best served by reviewing projects begun since the last New Moon in mid February (which was also a Solar Eclipse).\r\n\r\nWhat -- if anything -- needs adjustments? What did you discover since Feb. 15th? What did it mean for you? As best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-21 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Gemini</i></b><i>, <b>Pisces, </b>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s last Quarter Moon.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 9:27pm EST</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for almost 7.5 hours, <strong>until at 4:52am EST (Saturday early morning)</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self — explore, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday night and Saturday early morning ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 10th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b></strong>and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><strong> until 4:52am EST </strong>(see Wednesday late afternoon and Friday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 4:52am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Monday morning (March 12th)</strong><b>. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Starting tomorrow</strong> (Sunday, March 11th), my <em>Weekly Forecast</em> and <em>Full Moon videos</em> are only going to be available to my new online community. <b>For a limited time only,</b> you can continue receiving all of the wonderful forecasts uninterrupted, for the price of a Cappuccino!

At 2am, Daylight Saving Time begins in the US, turning the clocks forward an hour -- and so we are moving from EST (Eastern Standard Time) to EDT (Eastern Daylight Saving Time) until November.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning, </strong><em>a challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:00am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (March 13th). </strong>This aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature. Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to your passions, while remaining committed to exploring them one step at a time. What is my life calling me to explore? Could I go for it (one step at a time)?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Saturn rules Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning, </strong><em>a harmonious Mars/Uranus aspect </em>becomes exact at 7:23am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday on; it will remain strong until next week Friday (March 16th). </strong>This aspect signals a time when our energy level is much higher than usual -- among other effects, we may find we can work for long hours without fatigue, or feel \"driven\", especially in new and unusual directions.\r\n\r\nIt could be that we receive backing from unusual sources. In general, our efforts are successful and we scale new heights of originality. As best as you can, stay open to new and unexpected things. Highly recommended: Group activities, group causes and connecting to like-minded people from all over the world.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or one or more personal planets) in the following: 23-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Aries,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Leo, </i></b><i>or </i><i>0 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler Aries; Uranus rules Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Sunday morning, </strong><em>an opportune Sun/Pluto aspect </em>becomes exact at 7:56am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until Monday night. </strong>This is an opportunity to bring a sense of compassion and creativity to whatever needs restructuring or rebuilding in our lives.\r\n\r\nIt’s also an opportunity to notice how obsessed we’ve become about manifesting something real/authentic and soften our approach a little. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to make something of it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.

On Thursday, Mercury enters its shadow phase and Jupiter comes to a complete halt as it starts its 4-month retrograde phase. Lastly, on Friday morning, the last Quarter Moon in Sagittarius becomes exact.\r\n\r\nThere will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Monday very early morning (for a little over 7.5 hours), Wednesday very early morning (for a little over 13 hours), and Friday late evening (for almost 7.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (March 5th):</strong> <em>The Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong> until 8:23am EST</strong>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday very early morning at 1:19am EST, </strong>we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&amp;q=https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1519834911779000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGFGZ17skEnKIsKbpcRC91A0HqnJA\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7.5 hours, <strong>until 8:23am EST</strong>. If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it to examine your one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?<!--more-->\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday morning ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 8:23am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday early evening</strong>.<b> </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 6th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b>(see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 2:34am EST</strong>, <i>Mercury changes signs from dreamy, creative</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>to enthusiastic, direct</i> <b><i>Aries. </i></b>It will journey through this courageous sign, for an unusually long time, <b>until </b><b>May 13th</b> (due to its 3-week retrograde phase that starts on March 22nd).<i> </i>During this time, our thinking speeds up, and we are eager for new endeavors.\r\n\r\nGiven that we want to achieve our goals as quickly as possible, we may come off impulsive and impatient, and must therefore speak (and get answers) faster. Nothing stands in our way now: we are ready, we are brave, we want what we want and we want it now ;-)\r\n\r\nAs you can perhaps imagine, we need to watch out for blurting things out prematurely or inappropriately; as best you can, choose your words carefully and pause before responding ;-)\r\n\r\nRemember, everyone else is feeling the Aries energy quite strongly too, so do your best to not take it personally if someone ignores what you want, or says something insensitive. Keep the focus on yourself instead -- and take responsibility for how you are communicating or expressing yourself.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel especially chatty for the next 9 weeks. Your mental energy will be quite active and you feel the need to connect to others -- whether it be in person, via email, over the phone or via social media. New ideas and new connections are very likely. </i>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel a tremendous energy burst for the next 9 weeks: really enthusiastic and physically strong.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:45pm EST, </strong><i>Venus changes signs from intuitive, creative, </i><i>dreamy </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> to fast-paced, enthusiastic, active </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>,</i><i> </i>where it will journey <strong>until March 31st. </strong>Until then, we are going to feel passionate about connecting to others. We are ready to make a new start: if you are single, this could be a great chance to start something new (all things being equal ;-)\r\n\r\nWith Venus in <strong>Aries</strong>, spontaneity and independence are important to us. You’re not the only one who likes a challenge, so don\'t make it too easy for others to win you over ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you are already in a committed relationship, you get a wonderful chance to bring freshness and excitement to your bedroom and \"other parts of the house\" ;-) We also have more energy than usual; we are more likely to want to get out of the house, and be active with others.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, beauty and love will enter your life during this time, you will feel more attractive and you will attract things to you. As a </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i>, you will feel more energized, passionate and more direct than usual.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 7th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><strong><b><i>Scorpio</i></b></strong><strong> until 5:03pm EST</strong> (see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 3:55am EST</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 13 hours, <strong>until 5:03pm EST</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with others on a deep emotional level, and explore greater truths about your ability to make those authentic connections.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday morning and afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 5:03pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i>, </b>where it will journey<i> <strong>until Saturday early morning</strong></i><b>. </b>We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things. This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Friday morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 8th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b></strong> (see Wednesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday around 11pm EST, </strong><i>Mercury enters a 3-week shadow phase</i><i>, as it reaches 4 degrees and 47 minutes of </i><b><i>Aries. </i></b>This precedes the retrograde phase, which will begin on March 22nd in almost 17 degrees of <b>Aries</b> (more on that in 3 weeks).\r\n\r\nSo what is the \"shadow phase\"? To explain this, I\'ll quickly cover what happens when a planet \"stations\" and then goes \"retrograde\".\r\n\r\nRelative to us on Earth, a planet sometimes looks like it is slowing down (\"stationing\"), then stopping. After being still for a while, it actually appears to go \"backward\" through the sky (this is the \"retrograde\" phase). It\'s a little like catching up to a car on the highway, driving exactly alongside it for a moment, then passing it and pulling ahead.\r\n\r\nAt first, retrograde movement is slow, but the planet gradually reaches its normal pace through the sky -- except it\'s going backward. The process then reverses itself: the backward pace slows, the planet crawls to a \"halt\", then it starts to move forward again (i.e. it goes direct). In our car analogy, it\'s like the car you just passed gradually speeds up and passes you again.\r\n\r\nThere are also two \"shadow\" phases -- during these, the planet travels over a part of the sky it will later \"revisit\". The first \"shadow\" comes before the planet moves backward; the second comes when the planet starts to catch back up (after going direct).\r\n\r\nIt\'s like you went hiking and left something behind at camp. If you went back to get it, you\'d have some catching up to do, and would see the same scenery twice or more.\r\n\r\nMercury\'s shadow phases usually last 2-3 weeks before and after the Retrograde phase.\r\n\r\nIf you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items -- especially connected to transportation (cars, airline tickets, etc.) or communication devices (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) -- be aware of the shadow periods as well as the retrograde phases. If possible, get these things done before Mercury enters it\'s shadow or wait until after the shadow phases are over -- that would be <strong>May 3rd</strong> in this case ;-)\r\n\r\nOf course, if there is something that <i>must</i> get done during these phases, don\'t put your whole life on hold, just because Mercury is retrograde or in it\'s shadow. Sometimes things line up exactly at the right time; as best as you can, trust that it\'s all \"perfect\" ;-)\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Thursday late evening, at 11:45pm EST, </strong><i>Jupiter comes to a halt </i>at 23 degrees of <strong>Scorpio</strong>,<b> </b>starting its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. The retrograde phases are inner processes -- they help us connect to a particular energy internally, and thus express it externally (once Jupiter goes direct again). Jupiter retrograde brings a chance to tap inner wisdom, optimism and sense of possibility, and an inner understanding of how the world works. This retrograde phase lasts <b>until July 10th.</b>\r\n\r\nDuring this time, we get to choose what we truly believe -- which beliefs serve us and which don\'t -- and we can more easily let go of limiting beliefs and experience new truths. While retrograde in <strong>Scorpio</strong> -- here are some coaching questions:\r\n\r\nWhat do I believe about my intimate partnerships? About empowerment? Disempowerment? Deep authentic connections? Where am I making assumptions that do not serve me? What might be holding me back?\r\n\r\nThe connection to inner wisdom is heightened. Ask yourself: What do I “just know”? If the answer is “I don’t know”, ask yourself “What if I did know? What mighty it be in that case?”\r\n\r\nFeel free to <a href=\"https://youtu.be/JtMJiPnnZWc\">check out my 30-minute excerpt</a> from my webinar about the Jupiter and Mercury Station and Retrograde phases in March: https://youtu.be/JtMJiPnnZWc\r\n\r\nAnd if you want to know how that will impact you personally, feel free to buy the whole 90+ min. webinar on the subject --  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a> -- we talked about what to expect for the next 4 weeks, and how it all applies to our own birth charts ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> 12-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this retrograde phase. This is also true for those of us who have our</i><i> Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter rules Sagittarius, so Sagittarius will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (March 9th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b> </strong>(see Wednesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 6:20am EST, </strong><i>the last Quarter Moon in almost 19 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b> will be exact.<b> </b>The Moon in adventurous, truth-seeking <b>Sagittarius</b> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in sensitive, dreamy, compassionate<b> Pisces. </b>This may bring up some challenges. However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to March 17th\'s New Moon in <strong>Pisces</strong>. We are thus best served by reviewing projects begun since the last New Moon in mid February (which was also a Solar Eclipse).\r\n\r\nWhat -- if anything -- needs adjustments? What did you discover since Feb. 15th? What did it mean for you? As best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-21 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Gemini</i></b><i>, <b>Pisces, </b>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s last Quarter Moon.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 9:27pm EST</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for almost 7.5 hours, <strong>until at 4:52am EST (Saturday early morning)</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self — explore, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday night and Saturday early morning ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 10th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b></strong>and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><strong> until 4:52am EST </strong>(see Wednesday late afternoon and Friday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 4:52am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Monday evening (March 12th)</strong><b>. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Starting tomorrow</strong> (Sunday, March 11th), my <em>Weekly Forecast</em> and <em>Full Moon videos</em> are only going to be available to my new online community. <b>For a limited time only,</b> you can continue receiving all of the wonderful forecasts uninterrupted, for the price of a Cappuccino!

At 2am, Daylight Saving Time begins in the US, turning the clocks forward an hour -- and so we are moving from EST (Eastern Standard Time) to EDT (Eastern Daylight Saving Time) until November.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning, </strong><em>a challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:00am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (March 13th). </strong>This aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature. Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to your passions, while remaining committed to exploring them one step at a time. What is my life calling me to explore? Could I go for it (one step at a time)?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Saturn rules Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning, </strong><em>a harmonious Mars/Uranus aspect </em>becomes exact at 7:23am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday on; it will remain strong until next week Friday (March 16th). </strong>This aspect signals a time when our energy level is much higher than usual -- among other effects, we may find we can work for long hours without fatigue, or feel \"driven\", especially in new and unusual directions.\r\n\r\nIt could be that we receive backing from unusual sources. In general, our efforts are successful and we scale new heights of originality. As best as you can, stay open to new and unexpected things. Highly recommended: Group activities, group causes and connecting to like-minded people from all over the world.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or one or more personal planets) in the following: 23-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Aries,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Leo, </i></b><i>or </i><i>0 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler Aries; Uranus rules Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Sunday morning, </strong><em>an opportune Sun/Pluto aspect </em>becomes exact at 7:56am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until Monday night. </strong>This is an opportunity to bring a sense of compassion and creativity to whatever needs restructuring or rebuilding in our lives.\r\n\r\nIt’s also an opportunity to notice how obsessed we’ve become about manifesting something real/authentic and soften our approach a little. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to make something of it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>A heads up for next Monday (March 12th):</strong> <i>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><strong> until 6:44pm EDT</strong> (See Saturday very early morning for details). <strong>At 11:36am EDT,</strong> we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 6:44pm EDT</strong>. <strong>At that time</strong>, <em>the Moon moves into <strong>Aquarius</strong></em>, where it will journey<strong> until Thursday morning</strong>.

On Thursday, Mercury enters its shadow phase and Jupiter comes to a complete halt as it starts its 4-month retrograde phase. Lastly, on Friday morning, the last Quarter Moon in Sagittarius becomes exact.\r\n\r\nThere will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Monday very early morning (for a little over 7.5 hours), Wednesday very early morning (for a little over 13 hours), and Friday late evening (for almost 7.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (March 5th):</strong> <em>The Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong> until 8:23am EST</strong>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday very early morning at 1:19am EST, </strong>we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&amp;q=https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1519834911779000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGFGZ17skEnKIsKbpcRC91A0HqnJA\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7.5 hours, <strong>until 8:23am EST</strong>. If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it to examine your one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?<!--more-->\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday morning ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 8:23am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday early evening</strong>.<b> </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 6th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b>(see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 2:34am EST</strong>, <i>Mercury changes signs from dreamy, creative</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>to enthusiastic, direct</i> <b><i>Aries. </i></b>It will journey through this courageous sign, for an unusually long time, <b>until </b><b>May 13th</b> (due to its 3-week retrograde phase that starts on March 22nd).<i> </i>During this time, our thinking speeds up, and we are eager for new endeavors.\r\n\r\nGiven that we want to achieve our goals as quickly as possible, we may come off impulsive and impatient, and must therefore speak (and get answers) faster. Nothing stands in our way now: we are ready, we are brave, we want what we want and we want it now ;-)\r\n\r\nAs you can perhaps imagine, we need to watch out for blurting things out prematurely or inappropriately; as best you can, choose your words carefully and pause before responding ;-)\r\n\r\nRemember, everyone else is feeling the Aries energy quite strongly too, so do your best to not take it personally if someone ignores what you want, or says something insensitive. Keep the focus on yourself instead -- and take responsibility for how you are communicating or expressing yourself.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel especially chatty for the next 9 weeks. Your mental energy will be quite active and you feel the need to connect to others -- whether it be in person, via email, over the phone or via social media. New ideas and new connections are very likely. </i>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel a tremendous energy burst for the next 9 weeks: really enthusiastic and physically strong.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:45pm EST, </strong><i>Venus changes signs from intuitive, creative, </i><i>dreamy </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> to fast-paced, enthusiastic, active </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>,</i><i> </i>where it will journey <strong>until March 31st. </strong>Until then, we are going to feel passionate about connecting to others. We are ready to make a new start: if you are single, this could be a great chance to start something new (all things being equal ;-)\r\n\r\nWith Venus in <strong>Aries</strong>, spontaneity and independence are important to us. You’re not the only one who likes a challenge, so don\'t make it too easy for others to win you over ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you are already in a committed relationship, you get a wonderful chance to bring freshness and excitement to your bedroom and \"other parts of the house\" ;-) We also have more energy than usual; we are more likely to want to get out of the house, and be active with others.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, beauty and love will enter your life during this time, you will feel more attractive and you will attract things to you. As a </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i>, you will feel more energized, passionate and more direct than usual.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 7th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><strong><b><i>Scorpio</i></b></strong><strong> until 5:03pm EST</strong> (see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 3:55am EST</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 13 hours, <strong>until 5:03pm EST</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with others on a deep emotional level, and explore greater truths about your ability to make those authentic connections.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday morning and afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 5:03pm EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i>, </b>where it will journey<i> <strong>until Saturday early morning</strong></i><b>. </b>We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things. This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Friday morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 8th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b></strong> (see Wednesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday around 11pm EST, </strong><i>Mercury enters a 3-week shadow phase</i><i>, as it reaches 4 degrees and 47 minutes of </i><b><i>Aries. </i></b>This precedes the retrograde phase, which will begin on March 22nd in almost 17 degrees of <b>Aries</b> (more on that in 3 weeks).\r\n\r\nSo what is the \"shadow phase\"? To explain this, I\'ll quickly cover what happens when a planet \"stations\" and then goes \"retrograde\".\r\n\r\nRelative to us on Earth, a planet sometimes looks like it is slowing down (\"stationing\"), then stopping. After being still for a while, it actually appears to go \"backward\" through the sky (this is the \"retrograde\" phase). It\'s a little like catching up to a car on the highway, driving exactly alongside it for a moment, then passing it and pulling ahead.\r\n\r\nAt first, retrograde movement is slow, but the planet gradually reaches its normal pace through the sky -- except it\'s going backward. The process then reverses itself: the backward pace slows, the planet crawls to a \"halt\", then it starts to move forward again (i.e. it goes direct). In our car analogy, it\'s like the car you just passed gradually speeds up and passes you again.\r\n\r\nThere are also two \"shadow\" phases -- during these, the planet travels over a part of the sky it will later \"revisit\". The first \"shadow\" comes before the planet moves backward; the second comes when the planet starts to catch back up (after going direct).\r\n\r\nIt\'s like you went hiking and left something behind at camp. If you went back to get it, you\'d have some catching up to do, and would see the same scenery twice or more.\r\n\r\nMercury\'s shadow phases usually last 2-3 weeks before and after the Retrograde phase.\r\n\r\nIf you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items -- especially connected to transportation (cars, airline tickets, etc.) or communication devices (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) -- be aware of the shadow periods as well as the retrograde phases. If possible, get these things done before Mercury enters it\'s shadow or wait until after the shadow phases are over -- that would be <strong>May 3rd</strong> in this case ;-)\r\n\r\nOf course, if there is something that <i>must</i> get done during these phases, don\'t put your whole life on hold, just because Mercury is retrograde or in it\'s shadow. Sometimes things line up exactly at the right time; as best as you can, trust that it\'s all \"perfect\" ;-)\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Thursday late evening, at 11:45pm EST, </strong><i>Jupiter comes to a halt </i>at 23 degrees of <strong>Scorpio</strong>,<b> </b>starting its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. The retrograde phases are inner processes -- they help us connect to a particular energy internally, and thus express it externally (once Jupiter goes direct again). Jupiter retrograde brings a chance to tap inner wisdom, optimism and sense of possibility, and an inner understanding of how the world works. This retrograde phase lasts <b>until July 10th.</b>\r\n\r\nDuring this time, we get to choose what we truly believe -- which beliefs serve us and which don\'t -- and we can more easily let go of limiting beliefs and experience new truths. While retrograde in <strong>Scorpio</strong> -- here are some coaching questions:\r\n\r\nWhat do I believe about my intimate partnerships? About empowerment? Disempowerment? Deep authentic connections? Where am I making assumptions that do not serve me? What might be holding me back?\r\n\r\nThe connection to inner wisdom is heightened. Ask yourself: What do I “just know”? If the answer is “I don’t know”, ask yourself “What if I did know? What mighty it be in that case?”\r\n\r\nFeel free to <a href=\"https://youtu.be/JtMJiPnnZWc\">check out my 30-minute excerpt</a> from my webinar about the Jupiter and Mercury Station and Retrograde phases in March: https://youtu.be/JtMJiPnnZWc\r\n\r\nAnd if you want to know how that will impact you personally, feel free to buy the whole 90+ min. webinar on the subject --  <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a> -- we talked about what to expect for the next 4 weeks, and how it all applies to our own birth charts ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> 12-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this retrograde phase. This is also true for those of us who have our</i><i> Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter rules Sagittarius, so Sagittarius will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (March 9th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><i> </i><strong><b><i>Sagittarius </i>all day</b> </strong>(see Wednesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 6:20am EST, </strong><i>the last Quarter Moon in almost 19 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b> will be exact.<b> </b>The Moon in adventurous, truth-seeking <b>Sagittarius</b> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in sensitive, dreamy, compassionate<b> Pisces. </b>This may bring up some challenges. However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to March 17th\'s New Moon in <strong>Pisces</strong>. We are thus best served by reviewing projects begun since the last New Moon in mid February (which was also a Solar Eclipse).\r\n\r\nWhat -- if anything -- needs adjustments? What did you discover since Feb. 15th? What did it mean for you? As best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-21 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Gemini</i></b><i>, <b>Pisces, </b>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s last Quarter Moon.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, since the Sun rules Leo and the Moon rules Cancer.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 9:27pm EST</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for almost 7.5 hours, <strong>until at 4:52am EST (Saturday early morning)</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self — explore, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday night and Saturday early morning ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 10th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b></strong>and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><strong> until 4:52am EST </strong>(see Wednesday late afternoon and Friday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 4:52am EST,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Monday evening (March 12th)</strong><b>. </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Starting tomorrow</strong> (Sunday, March 11th), my full <em>Weekly Forecast</em> and <em>Full Moon videos</em> are only going to be available to my new online community. <b>For a limited time only,</b> you can continue receiving all of the wonderful forecasts uninterrupted, for the price of a Cappuccino!

At 2am, Daylight Saving Time begins in the US, turning the clocks forward an hour -- and so we are moving from EST (Eastern Standard Time) to EDT (Eastern Daylight Saving Time) until November.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning, </strong><em>a challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:00am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (March 13th). </strong>This aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature. Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to your passions, while remaining committed to exploring them one step at a time. What is my life calling me to explore? Could I go for it (one step at a time)?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Saturn rules Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning, </strong><em>a harmonious Mars/Uranus aspect </em>becomes exact at 7:23am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday on; it will remain strong until next week Friday (March 16th). </strong>This aspect signals a time when our energy level is much higher than usual -- among other effects, we may find we can work for long hours without fatigue, or feel \"driven\", especially in new and unusual directions.\r\n\r\nIt could be that we receive backing from unusual sources. In general, our efforts are successful and we scale new heights of originality. As best as you can, stay open to new and unexpected things. Highly recommended: Group activities, group causes and connecting to like-minded people from all over the world.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or one or more personal planets) in the following: 23-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Aries,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Leo, </i></b><i>or </i><i>0 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler Aries; Uranus rules Aquarius)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Sunday morning, </strong><em>an opportune Sun/Pluto aspect </em>becomes exact at 7:56am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until Monday night. </strong>This is an opportunity to bring a sense of compassion and creativity to whatever needs restructuring or rebuilding in our lives.\r\n\r\nIt’s also an opportunity to notice how obsessed we’ve become about manifesting something real/authentic and soften our approach a little. Remember: an opportunity is not automatically given to us; we have to make something of it.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>A heads up for next Monday (March 12th):</strong> <i>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><strong> until 6:44pm EDT</strong> (See Saturday very early morning for details). <strong>At 11:36am EDT,</strong> we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 6:44pm EDT</strong>. <strong>At that time</strong>, <em>the Moon moves into <strong>Aquarius</strong></em>, where it will journey<strong> until Thursday morning</strong>.

Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan all of Monday afternoon and early evening ahead of time <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 6:44pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Thursday morning</strong><b>.</b> The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius </i>all day </b>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Venus/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 8:39am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. </strong>This aspect<b> </b>asks us to stretch and grow beyond how we\'ve known ourselves in our relationships up to this point -- a process of maturing that requires we adjust and stay flexible.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, we want to make spiritual or romantic connections, while going with the flow, feeling our way through. On the other hand, we feel a sharp need to explore “the truth” about ourselves/others/life — to determine what beliefs align with our own direct experience. Do your best to make space for both of these urges.\r\n\r\nWe tend to be more cautious when it comes to relationships and finances now -- and in fact, this is not the best time to start a brand-new romantic relationship. Financially though, this aspect can be eye-opening; if we can find creative ways to deal with money, we will grow from it.\r\n\r\nThe key is to approach things in both realms with intuition and maturity. Pushing will most likely not get us what we want: better to go one step at a time, slow and steady; that way, we can come back later with a stronger approach and more mature expectations.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><i> 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late afternoon,</strong> <em>a harmonious Sun/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 4:06pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Friday. </strong>It’s an opportunity to see things from a different perspective. What will lead us to this new vantage point?\r\n\r\nOptimism, an open mind, an open heart: Follow your enthusiasm as if it were a wilderness guide — and let yourself be creative and free, especially with or around other people.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 14th): <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b></strong><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Mars/Chiron aspect </em>becomes exact at 2:10am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Thursday night (March 8th); it will remain strong until next Monday (March 19th).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 15th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><strong> until 6:12am EDT</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 3:32am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 2.5 hours, <strong>until 6:12am EDT</strong>.

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 11:36am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 6:44pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan all of Monday afternoon and early evening ahead of time <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 6:44pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Thursday morning</strong><b>.</b> The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius </i>all day </b>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Venus/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 8:39am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. </strong>This aspect<b> </b>asks us to stretch and grow beyond how we\'ve known ourselves in our relationships up to this point -- a process of maturing that requires we adjust and stay flexible.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, we want to make spiritual or romantic connections, while going with the flow, feeling our way through. On the other hand, we feel a sharp need to explore “the truth” about ourselves/others/life — to determine what beliefs align with our own direct experience. Do your best to make space for both of these urges.\r\n\r\nWe tend to be more cautious when it comes to relationships and finances now -- and in fact, this is not the best time to start a brand-new romantic relationship. Financially though, this aspect can be eye-opening; if we can find creative ways to deal with money, we will grow from it.\r\n\r\nThe key is to approach things in both realms with intuition and maturity. Pushing will most likely not get us what we want: better to go one step at a time, slow and steady; that way, we can come back later with a stronger approach and more mature expectations.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><i> 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly.

What will lead us to this new vantage point?\r\n\r\nOptimism, an open mind, an open heart: Follow your enthusiasm as if it were a wilderness guide — and let yourself be creative and free, especially with or around other people.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 14th): <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b></strong><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Mars/Chiron aspect </em>becomes exact at 2:10am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Thursday night (March 8th) on; it will remain strong until next week Monday (March 19th). </strong>This aspect challenges us to see our own attachments and aversions as a normal, perhaps even valid, part of being human. That way, should we choose to express desire or anger (or even contempt or disgust), such expressions will feel natural and organic, rather than something that provokes shame.\r\n\r\nWe may experience situations that call forth our initiative and independence -- but may not feel confident that we can rise to the challenge, let alone follow through. As best as you can, when the challenge comes: Get into action, feel the excitement that comes with stepping out of the familiar. Ask yourself: What would my hero do?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 25-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or 0-1 degree of <strong>Capricorn, Aries, Cancer,</strong> or <strong>Libra</strong></i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\"> </b><i>will feel most affected by this aspect.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 15th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><strong> until 6:12am EDT</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 3:32am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 2.5 hours, <strong>until 6:12am EDT</strong>.

We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\".

Finally, Pluto comes to a halt on Sunday, starting its 5-month retrograde phase.\r\n\r\nThere will also be four <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Monday very early morning (for almost 3 hours), Tuesday early evening (for 14 hours), Friday morning (for almost 2.5 hours), and Sunday late morning (for a little over 2 hours).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (April 16th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced <strong> Aries</strong></em><strong> until 4:51am EDT.</strong>  <strong>At 1:59am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 3 hours, <strong>until 4:51am EDT.</strong> Use this intuitive time to connect with people that can enthusiastically support your projects and share with them what you have going on.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can,...\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\r\n<strong> GET IT ALL!

What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\nAlso<b> on Monday</b>, <i>Pluto station intensifies</i><i> </i><b>until April 28th. </b>It will come to a halt on April 22nd in 21 degrees of <b>Capricorn </b>(more on that later this week). When an outer planet stations, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us -- and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take a closer look at whatever is \"in your face\" <b>for the next 3 weeks.</b> Look for what might no longer be in alignment with your soul\'s purpose (your deep, authentic, emotional Self).\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Where am I holding on, out of fear? What habits, behaviors or fears are holding me back from feeling fully empowered from within? What would it look like, if I was fully aligned with my Soul-purpose? How would it feel? When we confront our fears we very often discover hidden gifts and strengths.\r\n\r\nFeel free to watch our mp4 video presentation on this month\'s Saturn and Pluto Station and Retrograde phases in relationship to our own Birth charts...To purchase this webinar, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">click here. </a>\r\n\r\n<b>Special Offer extended until April 22nd: </b>If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-) <b>Please note </b>that we will be talking about Chiron moving into Aries and Uranus moving into Taurus, in our next Forum.

In the same spirit, we might also have a tendency to live beyond our means.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs you can see, we need to watch out for feeling overly-optimistic or -enthusiastic. Moderation is the keyword, with regard to both finances and our affections: Check your bank account... and keep it real ;-) Find the balance between what you value in yourself versus what others could contribute to your sense of empowerment.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\nOn <b>Tuesday at 4:12am EDT</b>, <i>Chiron moves from dreamy, sensitive <b>Pisces</b> to fast-paced, enthusiastic <b>Aries</b>, </i>where it will journey <b>until Sept. 25th</b> -- you can regard this as a preview of coming attractions, since Chiron will move into Aries in 2019... and then stay in that sign for 8 years!\r\n\r\nWhat is the significance of Chiron? It\'s considered the bridge between the limitations of the physical and the unlimited nature of the non-physical (or spiritual) world. Often referred to as the \"Wounded Healer\", it reminds us of our humanity -- and guides us to see it as a gift.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWhen we take responsibility for our human limitations and move past seeing them as \"wrong\" or \"bad\", our inner gifts and uniqueness can emerge more completely and powerfully.\r\n\r\nLet\'s look now at <b>Chiron </b>in<b> Aries:</b><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>The day after Chiron moves into Aries, the Sun conjuncts Uranus in that same sign. This points to the possibility that Chiron\'s journey through Aries will place a strong emphasis on liberation of the self.\r\n\r\nChiron in <strong>Aries</strong> is all about the wounded warrior, the Healer-Hero that emerges from a Warrior\'s healing journey. The healing path consists of seeing, acknowledging, embracing, and finally loving ourselves just as we are: physically, emotionally<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>and spiritually -- especially when it comes to our personal goals, leadership and inspirational abilities, our ability to take action, our \"masculine\" drive.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nBroadly speaking, then: our capacity to go after what we desire...\r\n\r\nWe get to see that we all have the ability to heal, and be healed, through our actions. Each of us can step into our inner healer in our own unique way.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nYou can ask yourself: What is the next step on the path of healing for my inner child, my inner wounding? How were my ancestors wounded around \"the masculine\"? What step can I personally take on that healing path?\r\n\r\nChiron in <strong>Aries</strong> also has us look at some of the following: How we express our anger (or how we do not express it), how we might further heal our relationship to our body (this includes sexuality, gender, etc.) and our personal desires; how we do or do not take initiative, display courage, and practice self-determination.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAsk: What would a healthy sense of identity, independence, and willpower enable me to do? Might accepting my limitations lead to unique ways to move with those energies? What makes me an individual? What are my unique desires and goals?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nThere is also an emphasis on injuries (especially head injuries), physical flaws, issues around anger and assertion of our anger, impatience, being ok with who we are. All of these issues could feel sensitive and fire off our \"triggers\" or bring up shame.\r\n\r\nOne thing is for sure: Chiron in Aries will show us a new perspective and will open new doors of healing for us -- likely a physically active Healing Journey. To the extent that this transit highlights our leadership abilities, the journey is toward becoming a different kind of leader, a non-traditional one.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nThis question lies at the heart of that journey: How do we channel our masculine energy?\r\n\r\nThis is a very important question, if we are to become a conscious, holistic warrior. Picture the film actors Bruce Lee, Jet Li, or Michelle Yeah -- they are consciously connecting the active physical with the emotional and spiritual -- through martial arts in their case -- you might also picture a great practitioner of Yoga -- we\'re talking here about a conscious, holistic relationship to physical dynamics.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWhat do we see in great practitioners of these arts?\r\n\r\nAmong other things, they seem to understand that impatience is wanting to move faster than what is required in the now moment.\r\n\r\nThey take responsibility for their triggers around reactivity, impatience, aggression, inconsiderate leadership, etc. and have an understanding for where it comes from (ancestors history, childhood) and what the impact is on others.\r\n\r\nThey look for unique ways to express themselves and channel those energies in a healthy way, sometimes in a new, non-traditional way. They ask \"What might be the alternatives here?\"\r\n\r\nThey are compassionate with themselves and others when it comes to expressing masculine energies.\r\n\r\nLike them, this journey of Chiron through <strong>Aries</strong> is not about aggression, but rather assertiveness. For all of us, whatever our starting point, it is also about acknowledging and embracing limitations around anger. We also need an open, compassionate awareness as to whether we are responding or \"reacting\" to our circumstances.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs we develop understanding for our inner \"wounded\" child and our \"human\" limitations (in parallel with the above) we build a space for compassion. In fact, I recommend you celebrate your limitations. Why? Because that means you are compassionately aware of them -- and awareness is always the first step towards healing.\r\n\r\nWalking these paths can continually recreate us as leaders with an holistic approach and a healing, compassionate presence.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWere you born between April 1968 and May 1976? Or Oct. 1976 - March 1977? If the answer is yes, you have Chiron in Aries in your a natal chart and will have a Chiron Return within the next 8-9years.\r\n\r\nIn the next Forum, we\'ll be talking about Chiron moving into <strong>Aries</strong> and Uranus moving into <strong>Taurus</strong> -- major shifts! And here\'s our <b>Special Offer again: </b>if you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for the next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get that Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar recording mentioned above for FREE ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 0-3 degrees</i><b><i> </i></b><i>of</i><b><i><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> Aries, Libra, </span>Capricorn, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

We experience new depths of intimacy (with an existing or new partner), we learn to appreciate the important people in our lives, and our value system transforms and evolves.\r\n\r\nThis is likely an excellent period for finances as well. Work we\'ve done might pay off, and we are able to manage our finances better, with more attention to sustainability, planning, and strategy -- as well as the elimination of anything that no longer serves us. We might renew a commitment, or bring new, deeper and more intimate energy into a relationship under the influence of this aspect.\r\n\r\nOur sexual lives might get a real boost now, as we tend to want to connect on a deeper level. We might find ourselves strongly attracted to someone, almost to the point of obsession. If this aspect connects with any of your personal planets, you might just meet the \"love of your life\". <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nOne thing is for sure -- relationships experienced now are bound to be unforgettable. While this transit tends to signal new or strengthened relationships, any relationship that ends during this cycle may leave us feeling liberated. What are you feeling drawn to on a deep instinctual level? What deep desires are surfacing? What values can you no longer compromise on?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees </i><i>of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> will be most blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Venus being the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday until 6pm EDT,</strong> if you haven\'t set your <em>Intentions</em> yet, this is your last chance to do so during the most potent time! If possible, align them with the New Moon energies that I spoke about in my last video — feel free to watch it again if you are not sure anymore — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here to watch my video on the New Moon</a>: https://youtu.be/J1ILKRA2_pI<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>;-)\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:05pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for 14 hours, <strong>until 8:02am EDT (Wednesday morning).</strong> Use this intuitive time to<span style=\"color: #993300;\"> </span>take care of anything that has value for you on a physical level.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

Take a deep breath whenever you can, as often as you can (especially Monday through Wednesday night of this week).\r\n\r\nSaturn represents our structures, responsibilities, commitments -- and our ability to \"do\" life on life\'s terms.

The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late morning</strong>, <em>a Sun/Uranus alignment in 28.5 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> becomes exact at 10:00am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday night (April 14th) on; it will remain strong until this Saturday evening. </strong>This alignment brings confidence and a desire to connect with others through a common cause. We may have sudden insights into our friendships -- and how they connect us to a bigger vision. We know that if we want to move to the next level, we need to strategize with others.\r\n\r\nWe are also asked to connect to the unusual. Our creative core is awakened: We feel compelled to express ourselves in unique (or at least unconventional) ways. Our consciousness expands, we are receptive to new ways of thinking, doing, and living; this increased openness to all that is new and different may bring unexpected opportunities.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned in the <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">New Moon video</a> I posted earlier last week, Uranus symbolizes the desire for freedom, equality, and progress. Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>, aligned with the Sun, asks us to break away from whatever keeps us from stepping up our game. Shifts are happening everywhere. It\'s time to develop some courage and awareness: Where do you want to step up? If you made a big leap, where might you land?\r\n\r\nOne thing to remember: Keeping the heart and mind open could make a big difference to the experience of this alignment.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 25-2 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Cancer, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius) </i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (April 19th)</strong>: <i>the</i> <i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><strong> all day</strong> (see Wednesday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 11:13pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Sun changes signs from adventurous, speedy </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> to peaceful, steady </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until May 20th</strong><b>. </b>For the next four weeks, our attention is on physical pleasures, and we are more aware of our need for comfort and consistency. The Sun in Taurus reminds us to slow down and smell the roses.\r\n\r\nWe are able to be very consistent and methodical, which helps us bring groundedness and reality to our new goals. We focus on what is most important to us. What do you value most? How do you feel about yourself and what you bring to the table?\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Taurus, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo, your vitality will most likely slow down and you might indulge in physical or material pleasures.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (April 20th)</strong>: <i>the</i> <i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><strong> until 10:26am EDT</strong> (see Wednesday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 8:05am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 2.5 hours, <strong>until 10:26am EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday morning ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 10:26am EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Sunday early afternoon</strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday around 11:16am EDT: i</strong>f you set <i>intentions</i> last Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday, right after the New Moon became exact, <strong>today</strong> will be a <i>great time to take relevant actions</i>. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to you?\r\n\r\nAlso <strong>on Friday</strong>, <i>Mercury resumes its normal pace through the sky <strong>today</strong>, ending its station:</i> Communication and transportation are now back to “normal”, as are any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc. New ideas and information received during the Mercury retrograde phase can now be reviewed -- What could you do with that now?\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (April 21st)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>protective, nurturing </i><strong>Cancer</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Friday late morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday early afternoon, </strong>we are in a state of “flow” and emotional connection to others; spiritual and creative endeavors are favored.\r\n\r\n<em><strong>Saturday early evening:</strong></em> our instincts and need for safety are strongly engaged. We are invited to create a balance between the familiar, and our passion, ambitions, and goals for the future.\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday evening, </b>a nice feeling of ease and an ability to trust and connect deeply with others. As best as you can, trust your intuitive sensing right now, allow whatever comes up to be beneficial for you.\r\n\r\n<b>I</b><b>n the late evening,</b> we may take an all-or-northing attitude toward others; this could drive some tension or oppositional behaviors... As best you can, remain flexible and practice self-care — take good care of your emotional and physical body -- that way, you\'ll remain able to empower yourself and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (April 22nd)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Cancer</strong></em><strong> until 1:09pm EDT</strong> (see Friday late morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 10:58am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 2 hours, <strong>until 1:09pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to make adjustments and (as best as you can) find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. Make space both for going after your vision and for taking care of emotional or family issues.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday late morning and early afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 11:26am EDT</strong>, <i>Pluto comes to a halt in 21 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, starting its 5-month retrograde phase</i> (until Sept. 30th). Pluto\'s energy will continue to move more slowly until May 5th.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs I already mentioned on Monday, when an outer planet stops, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us -- and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\r\n\r\nDuring the retrograde phase, we will have a chance to connect to anything associated with Pluto from within. Pluto is associated with our soul purpose, as well as the process of empowerment -- our ability to feel empowered from within -- and with our deepest passions. This forced us to see what really motivates us.\r\n\r\n<strong>For the next 5 months,</strong> we need to tap into inner authenticity, embracing the entirety of ourselves — the good, the bad, and the ugly. Paradoxically, this will help us let go of any habits, behaviors or fears that are holding us back from feeling fully empowered from within.\r\n\r\nWe are invited to tap into our passion, strength and Soul\'s purpose from the inside out. This deeper connection will support us in our journey towards authenticity. We can then build long-term goals that are aligned with our Soul\'s purpose. Ask yourself: What do I \"just know\", deep down?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-23 degrees of</i> <b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><i>? If so,<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>you will feel this station/retrograde more strongly.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b> <i>(Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i> <i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 1:09pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into fun-loving (and attention-loving) </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Tuesday late afternoon.</strong><b> </b>We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well.

The New Moon took place a week ago (April 15th); \"seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making their first real contact with the outside world.

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 11:36am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 6:44pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan all of Monday afternoon and early evening ahead of time <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 6:44pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Thursday morning</strong><b>.</b> The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius </i>all day </b>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Venus/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 8:39am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. </strong>This aspect<b> </b>asks us to stretch and grow beyond how we\'ve known ourselves in our relationships up to this point -- a process of maturing that requires we adjust and stay flexible.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, we want to make spiritual or romantic connections, while going with the flow, feeling our way through. On the other hand, we feel a sharp need to explore “the truth” about ourselves/others/life — to determine what beliefs align with our own direct experience. Do your best to make space for both of these urges.\r\n\r\nWe tend to be more cautious when it comes to relationships and finances now -- and in fact, this is not the best time to start a brand-new romantic relationship. Financially though, this aspect can be eye-opening; if we can find creative ways to deal with money, we will grow from it.\r\n\r\nThe key is to approach things in both realms with intuition and maturity. Pushing will most likely not get us what we want: better to go one step at a time, slow and steady; that way, we can come back later with a stronger approach and more mature expectations.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><i> 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late afternoon,</strong> <em>a harmonious Sun/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 4:06pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Friday. </strong>It’s an opportunity to see things from a different perspective. What will lead us to this new vantage point?\r\n\r\nOptimism, an open mind, an open heart: Follow your enthusiasm as if it were a wilderness guide — and let yourself be creative and free, especially with or around other people.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 14th): <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b></strong><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Mars/Chiron aspect </em>becomes exact at 2:10am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Thursday night (March 8th) on; it will remain strong until next week Monday (March 19th). </strong>This aspect challenges us to see our own attachments and aversions as a normal, perhaps even valid, part of being human. That way, should we choose to express desire or anger (or even contempt or disgust), such expressions will feel natural and organic, rather than something that provokes shame.\r\n\r\nWe may experience situations that call forth our initiative and independence -- but may not feel confident that we can rise to the challenge, let alone follow through. As best as you can, when the challenge comes: Get into action, feel the excitement that comes with stepping out of the familiar. Ask yourself: What would my hero do?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 25-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or 0-1 degree of <strong>Capricorn, Aries, Cancer,</strong> or <strong>Libra</strong></i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\"> </b><i>will feel most affected by this aspect.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 15th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><strong> until 6:12am EDT</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 3:32am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 2.5 hours, <strong>until 6:12am EDT</strong>.

You may also want to plan Thursday early morning ahead of time <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon sextiles Mars in <strong>Sagittarius</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 6:12am EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><b><i>, </i></b>where it will journey <strong>until Saturday afternoon</strong>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.<b> </b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday: </strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday morning for details).</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Friday late morning,</b> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little.

It connects us to our spiritual journey, as it represents a reunion with Source/God/the Universe. When at its highest vibration, <b>Pisces </b>unifies all dualities -- it is completely aware of the oneness of all. It tells us there is a union within, that exists always, and we can tap into it.</div>\r\n<div><b> </b></div>\r\n<div><b>Pisces</b> is accepting and aware of its eternal nature. It lovingly allows all, because it knows that there is no real separation between things, that separation only exists in the mind.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>At it\'s lowest vibration however, Pisces feels separate, fearful, and victimized. It wants to escape the harsh physical realities of this world. We get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not go within to connect with our inner divinity, when we do not trust ourselves, our inner processes and intuitive Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Ask yourself: What stops me from connecting to my inner divinity? What if I opened to the perfection of life? What if I trusted to universal timing? Might plenty of down-time and rest actually support my reconnection with Source-energy or my intuitive Self?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>This New Moon aligns with Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>: this amplifies the message to be conscious of our intuitive/spiritual healing journey -- individually and collectively ;-) We are being invited to forgive our own \"humanness\" and open our hearts. Suppressing or denying our feelings and intuitive gifts is even less recommended now.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>There is no shame in feeling things, in being sensitive, in being imaginative and kind -- not just with the people we love but publicly as well. We are invited to shift our perspective about \"feelings\" and \"being sensitive\", from perceiving it as weakness, to allowing it to be our strength, our gift.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We are invited to embrace all of who we are (including our emotional body), if we are to fully function in this world -- and if we are to create a world that supports all living things equally.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Chiron will be moving into Aries in April, so as best as you can, think back over the last 7 years (while Chiron has been in Pisces); ask yourself: In what ways have I been able to heal my relationship to the divine? Am I more in touch with my own intuition now vs, then (2011)? What sensitivities or limitations have come up around the feeling-body? What still needs my love, understanding and compassion in those areas of my life?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>If we can shift our perspective from \"failure and blame\" to \"growth and learning\", we have an opportunity here to take a quantum leap forward in our individual and collective evolution. If a mere 5% of us went through a transformation, imagine what that would trigger for all.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Are you going to be one of the 5%? What might shift if you allowed yourself to flow with the energetic stream rather than struggle against it? What might be possible if you gave your body and mind the opportunity to slow down, perhaps even get completely quiet at least 5 minutes every day?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Venus, Mercury and Uranus are all in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b>at the time of this New Moon. This brings another dimension to the New Moon chart: an action-oriented and direct approach that supports our inner courage.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Mercury is stationing</i>, preparing to go retrograde on <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1076589851\"><span class=\"aQJ\">March 22nd</span></span> (at 17 degrees of <b>Aries)</b>, and is thus exalted.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>This brings awareness to our day to day thinking, and how we process and share information; we are more impulsive and quick-minded, and may communicate from a place of passion and courage, or anger. We are also more aware of our own inner dialog and how assertive or aggressive it is.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Pay attention to what\'s \"in your face\" right now: What\'s important to me? Where do I over-think? Where do I act (or react) without thinking? What are my physical and mental impulses telling me? What role does \"passion\" play in all of this?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We also covered this in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the Mercury Station and Retrograde is going to impact you personally, feel free to watch the mp4 video-presentation of our last Forum -- we applied what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. Here is an excerpt of the webinar:</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>The Mercury Station and Retrograde invites us to go beyond the conditioning of our mind, our stories, and our script, and to release what is no longer in alignment with our personal goals, our passions, our \"true\" Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Ask yourself: What if I tapped into my inner courage? What if I communicated honestly, was fearless, was without apologies? What if I gave myself permission to start fresh? Every day, every moment?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> squares the New Moon and Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>. This might create some restlessness and uneasiness in regards to our healing journey this month. We may feel we are falling behind, become impatient -- easily annoyed, or simply angry at not being where we\'d like to be. We may want to move faster than our emotional/intuitive body is asking us to go at this time -- individually and collectively speaking.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Ask yourself here: Am I using my warrior energy to defend my belief systems and view about life, or to explore larger truths? Am I asserting myself so I can walk my own talk, or simply using my anger to dominate and separate myself further from others?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Is \"knowingness\" a way to make myself feel better about who I am (i.e. to feel superior), or a compass I can use to explore my life further? Are there any beliefs I hold dear that have limited my connection to Source/intuition? What might be possible if I applied a new approach and brought open-heartedness to those scripts?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We may feel triggered by others and may well trigger them. Some of that may feel connected to the past -- something in our history with someone else might be the trigger in question.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>When this happens, ask yourself: Is this somehow familiar? Is it possible it\'s historical? What does it remind me of? Am I attached to being \"right\" here? Could I welcome wanting approval, safety or control? What if opening my heart created space for all truths to co-exist side by side? No need for conflict, or right, or wrong... simply a space for all of it to be part of the larger sea of life. What might be possible if compassion were the warrior-energy of our heart?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Neptune, the ruler of </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, is currently in its own sign and brings a very clear message to this New Moon: for the <b>next 28 days, </b>as best as you can, unplug and listen deeply to your heart and soul. Allow for all feelings to flow; allow for yourself to be with what is.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Tap into the divinity within through any, some, or all of the following: meditation; being in nature; music; dance; energy healing; dream work; creative writing; art; being with your intuition. In the silence we feel the oneness with all there is, we feel the unconditional love the Universe provides.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Since 2011, when Neptune and Chiron moved into <b>Pisces</b>, we have been becoming more and more aware that we are<b> One. </b>Everything is energy, everything is connected and everything is in a continuous flow/movement. Each of us is like a drop of water, appearing to be individual, yet also a part of the big ocean of life. We are the sum of all parts: physical, spiritual, emotional, mental… and <i>all</i> that exists is part of the whole.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Take 5 minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, to get quiet and be with yourself (your intuitive/feeling Self). What might become possible if you gave this to your body and mind on a regular basis?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Ask yourself: What might a healthy connection with the energetic world feel like? What if I were 5% more interested in my inner world? What if I simply embraced whatever I discovered there? Could I simply allow what \"is\" to \"just be\", just for this very moment?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We are invited to take actions that are aligned with intuition, and communicate our boundaries... perhaps even remove ourselves from situations, when that is the loving thing to do.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>In other words: we move with \"all is well\", no matter what the appearance or view looks like, out there in the world. We trust our inner senses. This is something we need to relearn; we are so conditioned to focus on the outside world for answers, to look to our mind-chatter for answers, or to close off and protect ourselves. Ask yourself: What results might I get if I tapped into inner courage, inner sensing/intuition, and the power of compassion... all at the same time?</div>\r\n<div class=\"yj6qo ajU\">\r\n<div id=\":7xx\" class=\"ajR\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Hide expanded content\" data-tooltip=\"Hide expanded content\"><img class=\"ajT\" src=\"https://ssl.gstatic.com/ui/v1/icons/mail/images/cleardot.gif\" /></div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div class=\"adL\">\r\n<div><i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in one of the following placements: 25-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>?

For those 8.5 weeks, we tend to feel more determined, goal-oriented and focused. We are not afraid to work hard on attainable goals, so that we can see tangible results.\r\n\r\nOur drive to succeed is quite strong, especially when we feel a need for physical and material security — that is, in the realm of all that can be seen and held. Our self-control tends to be quite strong around the expression of \"drives\" -- things like anger, energy, ambition and sexuality -- in fact, with Mars in Capricorn we are at our least impulsive, with a powerful need to stay in control.\r\n\r\nBecause we have such a strong sense of responsibility, we need to be careful not to start using work to hide from others. Anger can easily get channelled into our work as well. As best as you can, be kind to yourself, remember we all do the best we can; there is no need for extra pressure.\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more focused and determent.

Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Saturday, </strong>Mercury stations in 14-17 degrees of <strong>Aries </strong>until March 29th.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 18th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries </i>all day</b> (see Saturday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday evening,</strong> <em>a Sun/Chiron alignment in 28 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:15pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening; it will remain strong until next Wednesday evening (March 21st).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>A heads up for next Monday (March 19th)</strong>: <em>t<i>he Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries</i></b></em><strong> until 9:07pm EDT</strong> (see Saturday afternoon for details). <strong>Monday at 3:29pm EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 5.5 hours, <strong>until 9:07pm EDT</strong>. <b>At that time</b>, <em>the Moon moves into <strong>Taurus</strong></em><strong>, </strong>where it will journey<strong> until Thursday very early morning.

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 11:36am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 6:44pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan all of Monday afternoon and early evening ahead of time <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 6:44pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Thursday morning</strong><b>.</b> The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius </i>all day </b>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Venus/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 8:39am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. </strong>This aspect<b> </b>asks us to stretch and grow beyond how we\'ve known ourselves in our relationships up to this point -- a process of maturing that requires we adjust and stay flexible.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, we want to make spiritual or romantic connections, while going with the flow, feeling our way through. On the other hand, we feel a sharp need to explore “the truth” about ourselves/others/life — to determine what beliefs align with our own direct experience. Do your best to make space for both of these urges.\r\n\r\nWe tend to be more cautious when it comes to relationships and finances now -- and in fact, this is not the best time to start a brand-new romantic relationship. Financially though, this aspect can be eye-opening; if we can find creative ways to deal with money, we will grow from it.\r\n\r\nThe key is to approach things in both realms with intuition and maturity. Pushing will most likely not get us what we want: better to go one step at a time, slow and steady; that way, we can come back later with a stronger approach and more mature expectations.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><i> 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late afternoon,</strong> <em>a harmonious Sun/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 4:06pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Friday. </strong>It’s an opportunity to see things from a different perspective. What will lead us to this new vantage point?\r\n\r\nOptimism, an open mind, an open heart: Follow your enthusiasm as if it were a wilderness guide — and let yourself be creative and free, especially with or around other people.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 14th): <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b></strong><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Mars/Chiron aspect </em>becomes exact at 2:10am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Thursday night (March 8th) on; it will remain strong until next week Monday (March 19th). </strong>This aspect challenges us to see our own attachments and aversions as a normal, perhaps even valid, part of being human. That way, should we choose to express desire or anger (or even contempt or disgust), such expressions will feel natural and organic, rather than something that provokes shame.\r\n\r\nWe may experience situations that call forth our initiative and independence -- but may not feel confident that we can rise to the challenge, let alone follow through. As best as you can, when the challenge comes: Get into action, feel the excitement that comes with stepping out of the familiar. Ask yourself: What would my hero do?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 25-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or 0-1 degree of <strong>Capricorn, Aries, Cancer,</strong> or <strong>Libra</strong></i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\"> </b><i>will feel most affected by this aspect.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 15th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><strong> until 6:12am EDT</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 3:32am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 2.5 hours, <strong>until 6:12am EDT</strong>.

This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.<b> </b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday: </strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday morning for details).</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Friday late morning,</b> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little.

It connects us to our spiritual journey, as it represents a reunion with Source/God/the Universe. When at its highest vibration, <b>Pisces </b>unifies all dualities -- it is completely aware of the oneness of all. It tells us there is a union within, that exists always, and we can tap into it.</div>\r\n<div><b> </b></div>\r\n<div><b>Pisces</b> is accepting and aware of its eternal nature. It lovingly allows all, because it knows that there is no real separation between things, that separation only exists in the mind.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>At it\'s lowest vibration however, <strong>Pisces</strong> feels separate, fearful, and victimized. It wants to escape the harsh physical realities of this world. We get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not go within to connect with our inner divinity, when we do not trust ourselves, our inner processes and intuitive Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What stops me from connecting to my inner divinity? What if I opened to the perfection of life? What if I trusted to universal timing? Might plenty of down-time and rest actually support my reconnection with Source-energy or my intuitive Self?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>This New Moon aligns with Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>: this amplifies the message to be conscious of our intuitive/spiritual healing journey -- individually and collectively ;-) We are being invited to forgive our own \"humanness\" and open our hearts. Suppressing or denying our feelings and intuitive gifts is even less recommended now.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>There is no shame in feeling things, in being sensitive, in being imaginative and kind -- not just with the people we love but publicly as well. We are invited to shift our perspective about \"feelings\" and \"being sensitive\", from perceiving it as weakness, to allowing it to be our strength, our gift.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We are invited to embrace all of who we are (including our emotional body), if we are to fully function in this world -- and if we are to create a world that supports all living things equally.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>Chiron will be moving into <strong>Aries</strong> in April,</em> so as best as you can, think back over the last 7 years (while Chiron has been in <strong>Pisces</strong>); <strong>ask yourself:</strong> In what ways have I been able to heal my relationship to the divine? Am I more in touch with my own intuition now vs, then (2011)? What sensitivities or limitations have come up around the feeling-body? What still needs my love, understanding and compassion in those areas of my life?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>If we can shift our perspective from \"failure and blame\" to \"growth and learning\", we have an opportunity here to take a quantum leap forward in our individual and collective evolution. If a mere 5% of us went through a transformation, imagine what that would trigger for all.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Am I going to be one of the 5%? What might shift if I allowed myself to flow with the energetic stream rather than struggle against it? What might be possible if I gave my body and mind the opportunity to slow down, perhaps even get completely quiet at least 5 minutes every day?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Venus, Mercury and Uranus are all in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b>at the time of this New Moon. This brings another dimension to the New Moon chart: an action-oriented and direct approach that supports our inner courage.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Mercury is stationing</i>, preparing to go retrograde on <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1076589851\"><span class=\"aQJ\">March 22nd</span></span> (at 17 degrees of <b>Aries)</b>, and is thus exalted.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>This brings awareness to our day to day thinking, and how we process and share information; we are more impulsive and quick-minded, and may communicate from a place of passion and courage, or anger. We are also more aware of our own inner dialog and how assertive or aggressive it is.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Pay attention to what\'s \"in your face\" right now. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What\'s important to me? Where do I over-think? Where do I act (or react) without thinking? What are my physical and mental impulses telling me? What role does \"passion\" play in all of this?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We also covered this in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the Mercury Station and Retrograde is going to impact you personally, feel free to watch the mp4 video-presentation of our last Forum -- we applied what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/jupiters-optimism-mercurys-mental-dance-from-within/\">Here is an excerpt of the webinar. </a>For the full 90+ min. webinars <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>The Mercury Station and Retrograde</em> invites us to go beyond the conditioning of our mind, our stories, and our script, and to release what is no longer in alignment with our personal goals, our passions, our \"true\" Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What if I tapped into my inner courage? What if I communicated honestly, was fearless, was without apologies? What if I gave myself permission to start fresh? Every day, every moment?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> squares the New Moon and Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>. This might create some restlessness and uneasiness in regards to our healing journey this month. We may feel we are falling behind, become impatient -- easily annoyed, or simply angry at not being where we\'d like to be. We may want to move faster than our emotional/intuitive body is asking us to go at this time -- individually and collectively speaking.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself here</strong>: Am I using my warrior energy to defend my belief systems and view about life, or to explore larger truths? Am I asserting myself so I can walk my own talk, or simply using my anger to dominate and separate myself further from others?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Is \"knowingness\" a way to make myself feel better about who I am (i.e. to feel superior), or a compass I can use to explore my life further? Are there any beliefs I hold dear that have limited my connection to Source/intuition? What might be possible if I applied a new approach and brought open-heartedness to those scripts?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We may feel triggered by others and may well trigger them. Some of that may feel connected to the past -- something in our history with someone else might be the trigger in question.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>When this happens, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> Is this somehow familiar? Is it possible it\'s historical? What does it remind me of? Am I attached to being \"right\" here? Could I welcome wanting approval, safety or control? What if opening my heart created space for all truths to co-exist side by side? No need for conflict, or right, or wrong... simply a space for all of it to be part of the larger sea of life. What might be possible if compassion were the warrior-energy of our heart?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Neptune, the ruler of </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, is currently in its own sign and brings a very clear message to this New Moon: for the <b>next 28 days, </b>as best as you can, unplug and listen deeply to your heart and soul. Allow for all feelings to flow; allow for yourself to be with what is.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Tap into the divinity within through any, some, or all of the following: meditation; being in nature; music; dance; energy healing; dream work; creative writing; art; being with your intuition. In the silence we feel the oneness with all there is, we feel the unconditional love the Universe provides.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Since 2011, when Neptune and Chiron moved into <b>Pisces</b>, we have been becoming more and more aware that we are<b> One. </b>Everything is energy, everything is connected and everything is in a continuous flow/movement. Each of us is like a drop of water, appearing to be individual, yet also a part of the big ocean of life. We are the sum of all parts: physical, spiritual, emotional, mental… and <i>all</i> that exists is part of the whole.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Take 5 minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, to get quiet and be with yourself (your intuitive/feeling Self). What might become possible if you gave this to your body and mind on a regular basis?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What might a healthy connection with the energetic world feel like? What if I were 5% more interested in my inner world? What if I simply embraced whatever I discovered there? Could I simply allow what \"is\" to \"just be\", just for this very moment?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We are invited to take actions that are aligned with intuition, and communicate our boundaries... perhaps even remove ourselves from situations, when that is the loving thing to do.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>In other words: we move with \"all is well\", no matter what the appearance or view looks like, out there in the world. We trust our inner senses. This is something we need to relearn; we are so conditioned to focus on the outside world for answers, to look to our mind-chatter for answers, or to close off and protect ourselves. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What results might I get if I tapped into inner courage, inner sensing/intuition, and the power of compassion... all at the same time?</div>\r\n<div class=\"yj6qo ajU\">\r\n<div id=\":7xx\" class=\"ajR\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Hide expanded content\" data-tooltip=\"Hide expanded content\"><img class=\"ajT\" src=\"https://ssl.gstatic.com/ui/v1/icons/mail/images/cleardot.gif\" /></div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div class=\"adL\">\r\n<div><i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in one of the following placements: 25-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>?

For those 8.5 weeks, we tend to feel more determined, goal-oriented and focused. We are not afraid to work hard on attainable goals, so that we can see tangible results.\r\n\r\nOur drive to succeed is quite strong, especially when we feel a need for physical and material security — that is, in the realm of all that can be seen and held. Our self-control tends to be quite strong around the expression of \"drives\" -- things like anger, energy, ambition and sexuality -- in fact, with Mars in Capricorn we are at our least impulsive, with a powerful need to stay in control.\r\n\r\nBecause we have such a strong sense of responsibility, we need to be careful not to start using work to hide from others. Anger can easily get channelled into our work as well. As best as you can, be kind to yourself, remember we all do the best we can; there is no need for extra pressure.\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more focused and determent.

Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive.

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 11:36am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 6:44pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan all of Monday afternoon and early evening ahead of time <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 6:44pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Thursday morning</strong><b>.</b> The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius </i>all day </b>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Venus/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 8:39am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. </strong>This aspect<b> </b>asks us to stretch and grow beyond how we\'ve known ourselves in our relationships up to this point -- a process of maturing that requires we adjust and stay flexible.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, we want to make spiritual or romantic connections, while going with the flow, feeling our way through. On the other hand, we feel a sharp need to explore “the truth” about ourselves/others/life — to determine what beliefs align with our own direct experience. Do your best to make space for both of these urges.\r\n\r\nWe tend to be more cautious when it comes to relationships and finances now -- and in fact, this is not the best time to start a brand-new romantic relationship. Financially though, this aspect can be eye-opening; if we can find creative ways to deal with money, we will grow from it.\r\n\r\nThe key is to approach things in both realms with intuition and maturity. Pushing will most likely not get us what we want: better to go one step at a time, slow and steady; that way, we can come back later with a stronger approach and more mature expectations.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><i> 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late afternoon,</strong> <em>a harmonious Sun/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 4:06pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Friday. </strong>It’s an opportunity to see things from a different perspective. What will lead us to this new vantage point?\r\n\r\nOptimism, an open mind, an open heart: Follow your enthusiasm as if it were a wilderness guide — and let yourself be creative and free, especially with or around other people.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 14th): <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b></strong><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Mars/Chiron aspect </em>becomes exact at 2:10am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Thursday night (March 8th) on; it will remain strong until next week Monday (March 19th). </strong>This aspect challenges us to see our own attachments and aversions as a normal, perhaps even valid, part of being human. That way, should we choose to express desire or anger (or even contempt or disgust), such expressions will feel natural and organic, rather than something that provokes shame.\r\n\r\nWe may experience situations that call forth our initiative and independence -- but may not feel confident that we can rise to the challenge, let alone follow through. As best as you can, when the challenge comes: Get into action, feel the excitement that comes with stepping out of the familiar. Ask yourself: What would my hero do?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 25-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or 0-1 degree of <strong>Capricorn, Aries, Cancer,</strong> or <strong>Libra</strong></i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\"> </b><i>will feel most affected by this aspect.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 15th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><strong> until 6:12am EDT</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 3:32am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 2.5 hours, <strong>until 6:12am EDT</strong>.

This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.<b> </b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday: </strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday morning for details).</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Friday late morning,</b> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little.

When at its highest vibration, <b>Pisces </b>unifies all dualities -- it is completely aware of the oneness of all. It tells us there is a union within, that exists always, and we can tap into it.</div>\r\n<div><b> </b></div>\r\n<div><b>Pisces</b> is accepting and aware of its eternal nature. It lovingly allows all, because it knows that there is no real separation between things, that separation only exists in the mind.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>At it\'s lowest vibration however, <strong>Pisces</strong> feels separate, fearful, and victimized. It wants to escape the harsh physical realities of this world. We get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not go within to connect with our inner divinity, when we do not trust ourselves, our inner processes and intuitive Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What stops me from connecting to my inner divinity? What if I opened to the perfection of life? What if I trusted to universal timing? Might plenty of down-time and rest actually support my reconnection with Source-energy or my intuitive Self?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>This New Moon aligns with Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>: this amplifies the message to be conscious of our intuitive/spiritual healing journey -- individually and collectively ;-) We are being invited to forgive our own \"humanness\" and open our hearts. Suppressing or denying our feelings and intuitive gifts is even less recommended now.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>There is no shame in feeling things, in being sensitive, in being imaginative and kind -- not just with the people we love but publicly as well. We are invited to shift our perspective about \"feelings\" and \"being sensitive\", from perceiving it as weakness, to allowing it to be our strength, our gift.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We are invited to embrace all of who we are (including our emotional body), if we are to fully function in this world -- and if we are to create a world that supports all living things equally.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>Chiron will be moving into <strong>Aries</strong> in April,</em> so as best as you can, think back over the last 7 years (while Chiron has been in <strong>Pisces</strong>); <strong>ask yourself:</strong> In what ways have I been able to heal my relationship to the divine? Am I more in touch with my own intuition now vs, then (2011)? What sensitivities or limitations have come up around the feeling-body? What still needs my love, understanding and compassion in those areas of my life?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>If we can shift our perspective from \"failure and blame\" to \"growth and learning\", we have an opportunity here to take a quantum leap forward in our individual and collective evolution. If a mere 5% of us went through a transformation, imagine what that would trigger for all.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Am I going to be one of the 5%? What might shift if I allowed myself to flow with the energetic stream rather than struggle against it? What might be possible if I gave my body and mind the opportunity to slow down, perhaps even get completely quiet at least 5 minutes every day?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Venus, Mercury and Uranus are all in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b>at the time of this New Moon. This brings another dimension to the New Moon chart: an action-oriented and direct approach that supports our inner courage.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Mercury is stationing</i>, preparing to go retrograde on <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1076589851\"><span class=\"aQJ\">March 22nd</span></span> (at 17 degrees of <b>Aries)</b>, and is thus exalted.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>This brings awareness to our day to day thinking, and how we process and share information; we are more impulsive and quick-minded, and may communicate from a place of passion and courage, or anger. We are also more aware of our own inner dialog and how assertive or aggressive it is.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Pay attention to what\'s \"in your face\" right now. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What\'s important to me? Where do I over-think? Where do I act (or react) without thinking? What are my physical and mental impulses telling me? What role does \"passion\" play in all of this?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We also covered this in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the Mercury Station and Retrograde is going to impact you personally, feel free to watch the mp4 video-presentation of our last Forum -- we applied what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/jupiters-optimism-mercurys-mental-dance-from-within/\">Here is an excerpt of the webinar. </a>For the full 90+ min. webinars <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>The Mercury Station and Retrograde</em> invites us to go beyond the conditioning of our mind, our stories, and our script, and to release what is no longer in alignment with our personal goals, our passions, our \"true\" Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What if I tapped into my inner courage? What if I communicated honestly, was fearless, was without apologies? What if I gave myself permission to start fresh? Every day, every moment?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> squares the New Moon and Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>. This might create some restlessness and uneasiness in regards to our healing journey this month. We may feel we are falling behind, become impatient -- easily annoyed, or simply angry at not being where we\'d like to be. We may want to move faster than our emotional/intuitive body is asking us to go at this time -- individually and collectively speaking.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself here</strong>: Am I using my warrior energy to defend my belief systems and view about life, or to explore larger truths? Am I asserting myself so I can walk my own talk, or simply using my anger to dominate and separate myself further from others?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Is \"knowingness\" a way to make myself feel better about who I am (i.e. to feel superior), or a compass I can use to explore my life further? Are there any beliefs I hold dear that have limited my connection to Source/intuition? What might be possible if I applied a new approach and brought open-heartedness to those scripts?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We may feel triggered by others and may well trigger them. Some of that may feel connected to the past -- something in our history with someone else might be the trigger in question.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>When this happens, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> Is this somehow familiar? Is it possible it\'s historical? What does it remind me of? Am I attached to being \"right\" here? Could I welcome wanting approval, safety or control? What if opening my heart created space for all truths to co-exist side by side? No need for conflict, or right, or wrong... simply a space for all of it to be part of the larger sea of life. What might be possible if compassion were the warrior-energy of our heart?</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">Mars moves into Capricorn only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact and will be playing a major role for the rest of March and April.

Allow for all feelings to flow; allow for yourself to be with what is.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Tap into the divinity within through any, some, or all of the following: meditation; being in nature; music; dance; energy healing; dream work; creative writing; art; being with your intuition. In the silence we feel the oneness with all there is, we feel the unconditional love the Universe provides.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Since 2011, when Neptune and Chiron moved into <b>Pisces</b>, we have been becoming more and more aware that we are<b> One. </b>Everything is energy, everything is connected and everything is in a continuous flow/movement. Each of us is like a drop of water, appearing to be individual, yet also a part of the big ocean of life. We are the sum of all parts: physical, spiritual, emotional, mental… and <i>all</i> that exists is part of the whole.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Take 5 minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, to get quiet and be with yourself (your intuitive/feeling Self). What might become possible if you gave this to your body and mind on a regular basis?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What might a healthy connection with the energetic world feel like? What if I were 5% more interested in my inner world? What if I simply embraced whatever I discovered there? Could I simply allow what \"is\" to \"just be\", just for this very moment?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We are invited to take actions that are aligned with intuition, and communicate our boundaries... perhaps even remove ourselves from situations, when that is the loving thing to do.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>In other words: we move with \"all is well\", no matter what the appearance or view looks like, out there in the world. We trust our inner senses. This is something we need to relearn; we are so conditioned to focus on the outside world for answers, to look to our mind-chatter for answers, or to close off and protect ourselves. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What results might I get if I tapped into inner courage, inner sensing/intuition, and the power of compassion... all at the same time?</div>\r\n<div class=\"yj6qo ajU\">\r\n<div id=\":7xx\" class=\"ajR\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Hide expanded content\" data-tooltip=\"Hide expanded content\"><img class=\"ajT\" src=\"https://ssl.gstatic.com/ui/v1/icons/mail/images/cleardot.gif\" /></div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div class=\"adL\">\r\n<div><i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in one of the following placements: 25-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>?

This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>or</i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i></div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<strong>Saturday at 12:40pm EDT,</strong> <i>Mars changes signs </i><i>from optimistic, adventurous</i><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> to realistic, prestige-and-accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until May 16th</strong>. For those 8.5 weeks, we tend to feel more determined, goal-oriented and focused. We are not afraid to work hard on attainable goals, so that we can see tangible results.\r\n\r\nOur drive to succeed is quite strong, especially when we feel a need for physical and material security — that is, in the realm of all that can be seen and held. Our self-control tends to be quite strong around the expression of \"drives\" -- things like anger, energy, ambition and sexuality -- in fact, with Mars in Capricorn we are at our least impulsive, with a powerful need to stay in control.\r\n\r\nBecause we have such a strong sense of responsibility, we need to be careful not to start using work to hide from others. Anger can easily get channelled into our work as well. As best as you can, be kind to yourself, remember we all do the best we can; there is no need for extra pressure.\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more focused and determent. You may want to get down to business. If you are a </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 8.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 2:57pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><b><i>,</i></b> where it will journey <b><strong>until Monday evening</strong></b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Saturday, </strong>Mercury stations in 14-17 degrees of <strong>Aries </strong>until March 29th.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 18th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries </i>all day</b> (see Saturday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday evening,</strong> <em>a Sun/Chiron alignment in 28 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:15pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening; it will remain strong until next Wednesday evening (March 21st).</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>A heads up for next Monday (March 19th)</strong>: <em>t<i>he Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries</i></b></em><strong> until 9:07pm EDT</strong> (see Saturday afternoon for details). <strong>Monday at 3:29pm EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 5.5 hours, <strong>until 9:07pm EDT</strong>. <b>At that time</b>, <em>the Moon moves into <strong>Taurus</strong></em><strong>, </strong>where it will journey<strong> until Thursday very early morning.

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 11:36am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 6:44pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan all of Monday afternoon and early evening ahead of time <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 6:44pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Thursday morning</strong><b>.</b> The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius </i>all day </b>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Venus/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 8:39am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. </strong>This aspect<b> </b>asks us to stretch and grow beyond how we\'ve known ourselves in our relationships up to this point -- a process of maturing that requires we adjust and stay flexible.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, we want to make spiritual or romantic connections, while going with the flow, feeling our way through. On the other hand, we feel a sharp need to explore “the truth” about ourselves/others/life — to determine what beliefs align with our own direct experience. Do your best to make space for both of these urges.\r\n\r\nWe tend to be more cautious when it comes to relationships and finances now -- and in fact, this is not the best time to start a brand-new romantic relationship. Financially though, this aspect can be eye-opening; if we can find creative ways to deal with money, we will grow from it.\r\n\r\nThe key is to approach things in both realms with intuition and maturity. Pushing will most likely not get us what we want: better to go one step at a time, slow and steady; that way, we can come back later with a stronger approach and more mature expectations.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><i> 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late afternoon,</strong> <em>a harmonious Sun/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 4:06pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Friday. </strong>It’s an opportunity to see things from a different perspective. What will lead us to this new vantage point?\r\n\r\nOptimism, an open mind, an open heart: Follow your enthusiasm as if it were a wilderness guide — and let yourself be creative and free, especially with or around other people.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 14th): <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b></strong><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Mars/Chiron aspect </em>becomes exact at 2:10am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Thursday night (March 8th) on; it will remain strong until next week Monday (March 19th). </strong>This aspect challenges us to see our own attachments and aversions as a normal, perhaps even valid, part of being human. That way, should we choose to express desire or anger (or even contempt or disgust), such expressions will feel natural and organic, rather than something that provokes shame.\r\n\r\nWe may experience situations that call forth our initiative and independence -- but may not feel confident that we can rise to the challenge, let alone follow through. As best as you can, when the challenge comes: Get into action, feel the excitement that comes with stepping out of the familiar. Ask yourself: What would my hero do?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 25-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or 0-1 degree of <strong>Capricorn, Aries, Cancer,</strong> or <strong>Libra</strong></i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\"> </b><i>will feel most affected by this aspect.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 15th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><strong> until 6:12am EDT</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 3:32am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 2.5 hours, <strong>until 6:12am EDT</strong>.

This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.<b> </b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday: </strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday morning for details).</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Friday late morning,</b> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little.

It connects us to our spiritual journey, as it represents a reunion with Source/God/the Universe. When at its highest vibration, <b>Pisces </b>unifies all dualities -- it is completely aware of the oneness of all. It tells us there is a union within, that exists always, and we can tap into it.</div>\r\n<div><b> </b></div>\r\n<div><b>Pisces</b> is accepting and aware of its eternal nature. It lovingly allows all, because it knows that there is no real separation between things, that separation only exists in the mind.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>At it\'s lowest vibration however, <strong>Pisces</strong> feels separate, fearful, and victimized. It wants to escape the harsh physical realities of this world. We get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not go within to connect with our inner divinity, when we do not trust ourselves, our inner processes and intuitive Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What stops me from connecting to my inner divinity? What if I opened to the perfection of life? What if I trusted to universal timing? Might plenty of down-time and rest actually support my reconnection with Source-energy or my intuitive Self?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>This New Moon aligns with Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>: this amplifies the message to be conscious of our intuitive/spiritual healing journey -- individually and collectively ;-) We are being invited to forgive our own \"humanness\" and open our hearts. Suppressing or denying our feelings and intuitive gifts is even less recommended now.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>There is no shame in feeling things, in being sensitive, in being imaginative and kind -- not just with the people we love but publicly as well. We are invited to shift our perspective about \"feelings\" and \"being sensitive\", from perceiving it as weakness, to allowing it to be our strength, our gift.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We are invited to embrace all of who we are (including our emotional body), if we are to fully function in this world -- and if we are to create a world that supports all living things equally.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>Chiron will be moving into <strong>Aries</strong> in April,</em> so as best as you can, think back over the last 7 years (while Chiron has been in <strong>Pisces</strong>); <strong>ask yourself:</strong> In what ways have I been able to heal my relationship to the divine? Am I more in touch with my own intuition now vs, then (2011)? What sensitivities or limitations have come up around the feeling-body? What still needs my love, understanding and compassion in those areas of my life?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>If we can shift our perspective from \"failure and blame\" to \"growth and learning\", we have an opportunity here to take a quantum leap forward in our individual and collective evolution. If a mere 5% of us went through a transformation, imagine what that would trigger for all.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Am I going to be one of the 5%? What might shift if I allowed myself to flow with the energetic stream rather than struggle against it? What might be possible if I gave my body and mind the opportunity to slow down, perhaps even get completely quiet at least 5 minutes every day?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Venus, Mercury and Uranus are all in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b>at the time of this New Moon. This brings another dimension to the New Moon chart: an action-oriented and direct approach that supports our inner courage.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Mercury is stationing</i>, preparing to go retrograde on <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1076589851\"><span class=\"aQJ\">March 22nd</span></span> (at 17 degrees of <b>Aries)</b>, and is thus exalted.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>This brings awareness to our day to day thinking, and how we process and share information; we are more impulsive and quick-minded, and may communicate from a place of passion and courage, or anger. We are also more aware of our own inner dialog and how assertive or aggressive it is.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Pay attention to what\'s \"in your face\" right now. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What\'s important to me? Where do I over-think? Where do I act (or react) without thinking? What are my physical and mental impulses telling me? What role does \"passion\" play in all of this?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We also covered this in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the Mercury Station and Retrograde is going to impact you personally, feel free to watch the mp4 video-presentation of our last Forum -- we applied what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/jupiters-optimism-mercurys-mental-dance-from-within/\">Here is an excerpt of the webinar. </a>For the full 90+ min. webinars <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>The Mercury Station and Retrograde</em> invites us to go beyond the conditioning of our mind, our stories, and our script, and to release what is no longer in alignment with our personal goals, our passions, our \"true\" Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What if I tapped into my inner courage? What if I communicated honestly, was fearless, was without apologies? What if I gave myself permission to start fresh? Every day, every moment?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> squares the New Moon and Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>. This might create some restlessness and uneasiness in regards to our healing journey this month. We may feel we are falling behind, become impatient -- easily annoyed, or simply angry at not being where we\'d like to be. We may want to move faster than our emotional/intuitive body is asking us to go at this time -- individually and collectively speaking.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself here</strong>: Am I using my warrior energy to defend my belief systems and view about life, or to explore larger truths? Am I asserting myself so I can walk my own talk, or simply using my anger to dominate and separate myself further from others?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Is \"knowingness\" a way to make myself feel better about who I am (i.e. to feel superior), or a compass I can use to explore my life further? Are there any beliefs I hold dear that have limited my connection to Source/intuition? What might be possible if I applied a new approach and brought open-heartedness to those scripts?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We may feel triggered by others and may well trigger them. Some of that may feel connected to the past -- something in our history with someone else might be the trigger in question.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>When this happens, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> Is this somehow familiar? Is it possible it\'s historical? What does it remind me of? Am I attached to being \"right\" here? Could I welcome wanting approval, safety or control? What if opening my heart created space for all truths to co-exist side by side? No need for conflict, or right, or wrong... simply a space for all of it to be part of the larger sea of life. What might be possible if compassion were the warrior-energy of our heart?</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">Mars moves into Capricorn only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact and will be playing a major role for the rest of March and April.

We trust our inner senses. This is something we need to relearn; we are so conditioned to focus on the outside world for answers, to look to our mind-chatter for answers, or to close off and protect ourselves. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What results might I get if I tapped into inner courage, inner sensing/intuition, and the power of compassion... all at the same time?</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><span class=\"im\">Again, feel free to also watch my New Moon video on the subject: <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">youtube.//...</span></span></div>\r\n<div>\r\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\r\n<div class=\"gmail_default\">\r\n<div class=\"yj6qo ajU\">\r\n<div id=\":7xx\" class=\"ajR\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Hide expanded content\" data-tooltip=\"Hide expanded content\"><img class=\"ajT\" src=\"https://ssl.gstatic.com/ui/v1/icons/mail/images/cleardot.gif\" /></div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div class=\"adL\">\r\n<div><i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in one of the following placements: 25-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>?

Finally, as always during VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

For those 8.5 weeks, we tend to feel more determined, goal-oriented and focused. We are not afraid to work hard on attainable goals, so that we can see tangible results.\r\n\r\nOur drive to succeed is quite strong, especially when we feel a need for physical and material security — that is, in the realm of all that can be seen and held. Our self-control tends to be quite strong around the expression of \"drives\" -- things like anger, energy, ambition and sexuality -- in fact, with Mars in Capricorn we are at our least impulsive, with a powerful need to stay in control.\r\n\r\nBecause we have such a strong sense of responsibility, we need to be careful not to start using work to hide from others. Anger can easily get channelled into our work as well. As best as you can, be kind to yourself, remember we all do the best we can; there is no need for extra pressure.\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more focused and determent. You may want to get down to business. If you are a </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 8.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 2:57pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><b><i>,</i></b> where it will journey <b><strong>until Monday evening</strong></b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday after 2:57pm EDT, </b>it\'s time to start setting your Intentions of this Moon cycle.<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/TijxuK\">https://goo.gl/TijxuK</a><i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 18th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries </i>all day</b> (see Saturday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday night/Sunday very early morning</b> <i>Mercury starts its station-phase</i>.

You will get a chance to make adjustments during the retrograde -- or the shadow phase that follows.\r\n\r\nFor the next 12 days, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait until after May 3rd, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">14-19 degrees</span> of <strong>Aries</strong></i><b><i>, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday evening,</strong> <em>a Sun/Chiron alignment in 28 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:15pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening; it will remain strong until next Wednesday evening (March 21st).</strong>\r\n\r\nAlso, <b>Sunday all day: </b>If you haven\'t gotten around to it yet,<i> </i><i>set your Intentions</i> for this Moon cycle...

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 11:36am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 6:44pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan all of Monday afternoon and early evening ahead of time\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 6:44pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Thursday morning</strong><b>.</b> The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius </i>all day </b>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Venus/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 8:39am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. </strong>This aspect<b> </b>asks us to stretch and grow beyond how we\'ve known ourselves in our relationships up to this point -- a process of maturing that requires we adjust and stay flexible.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, we want to make new and passionate connections while enthusiastically engaging with life; on the other hand, we feel a sharp need to focus on what we want to manifest long-term -- what works, what doesn\'t, what are our resources to make it happen, how can we move from A to B without missing anything essential -- in short, to determine what\'s real and can provide us with the best foundation for the next step. Do your best to make space for both of these urges.\r\n\r\nWe tend to be more cautious when it comes to relationships and finances now -- and in fact, this is not the best time to start a brand-new romantic relationship. Financially though, this aspect can be eye-opening; if we can find creative ways to deal with money, we will grow from it.\r\n\r\nThe key is to approach things in both realms with enthusiasm and maturity. Pushing will most likely not get us what we want: better to go one step at a time, slow and steady; that way, we can come back later with a stronger approach and more mature expectations.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><i> 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late afternoon,</strong> <em>a harmonious Sun/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 4:06pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Friday. </strong>It’s an opportunity to see things from a different perspective. What will lead us to this new vantage point?\r\n\r\nOptimism, an open mind, an open heart: Follow your enthusiasm as if it were a wilderness guide — and let yourself be creative and free, especially with or around other people.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday evening: </strong><i>the</i> <i>Balsamic Moon phase begins </i>when the Moon reaches 12º of <b>Aquarius. </b>This lasts <b>until Saturday morning</b>, when the New Moon in <b>Pisces </b>becomes exact (more on that later...however, <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/New+Moon.aspx\">feel free to watch my video on the subject</a> -- will be posted by Monday, March 11th).\r\n\r\nWe are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our inner sensing/intuition. For some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes.\r\n\r\nThis is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?<i> </i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 14th): <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b></strong><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Mars/Chiron aspect </em>becomes exact at 2:10am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Thursday night (March 8th) on; it will remain strong until next week Monday (March 19th). </strong>This aspect challenges us to see our own attachments and aversions as a normal, perhaps even valid, part of being human. That way, should we choose to express desire or anger (or even contempt or disgust), such expressions will feel natural and organic, rather than something that provokes shame.\r\n\r\nWe may experience situations that call forth our initiative and independence -- but may not feel confident that we can rise to the challenge, let alone follow through. As best as you can, when the challenge comes: Get into action, feel the excitement that comes with stepping out of the familiar. Ask yourself: What would my hero do?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 25-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or 0-1 degree of <strong>Capricorn, Aries, Cancer,</strong> or <strong>Libra</strong></i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\"> </b><i>will feel most affected by this aspect.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 15th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><strong> until 6:12am EDT</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 3:32am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 2.5 hours, <strong>until 6:12am EDT</strong>. If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it as an opportunity to explore larger truths and your own life further.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday early morning ahead of time\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 6:12am EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><b><i>, </i></b>where it will journey <strong>until Saturday afternoon</strong>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.<b> </b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday: </strong><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Friday late morning,</b> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours.\r\n\r\n<b>Friday, late in the evening, </b>we have the opportunity to be guided by inspiration, and fully commit to a project or task that might serve us long-term. As best as you can, listen and trust to the subtle messages in your heart, that stir you towards success.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 17th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><strong> until 2:57pm EDT</strong> (see Thursday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 9:11am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon will align with the Sun in almost 27 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong></em>; this marks the beginning of a new Moon cycle. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">Feel free to watch my New Moon video on the subject </a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Pisces</strong> is the last sign of the zodiac. It connects us to our spiritual journey, as it represents a reunion with Source/God/the Universe. When at its highest vibration, <strong>Pisces</strong> unifies all dualities -- it is completely aware of the oneness of all. It tells us there is a union within, that exists always, and we can tap into it.\r\n\r\n<strong>Pisces</strong> is accepting and aware of its eternal nature. It lovingly allows all, because it knows that there is no real separation between things, that separation only exists in the mind.\r\n\r\nAt it\'s lowest vibration however, <strong>Pisces</strong> feels separate, fearful, and victimized. It wants to escape the harsh physical realities of this world. We get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not go within to connect with our inner divinity, when we do not trust ourselves, our inner processes and intuitive Selves.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What stops me from connecting to my inner divinity? What if I opened to the perfection of life? What if I trusted to universal timing? Might plenty of down-time and rest actually support my reconnection with Source-energy or my intuitive Self?\r\n\r\n<em>This New Moon aligns with Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong></em>: this amplifies the message to be conscious of our intuitive/spiritual healing journey -- individually and collectively ;-) We are being invited to forgive our own \"humanness\" and open our hearts. Suppressing or denying our feelings and intuitive gifts is even less recommended now.\r\n\r\nThere is no shame in feeling things, in being sensitive, in being imaginative and kind -- not just with the people we love but publicly as well. We are invited to shift our perspective about \"feelings\" and \"being sensitive\", from perceiving it as weakness, to allowing it to be our strength, our gift.\r\n\r\nWe are invited to embrace all of who we are (including our emotional body), if we are to fully function in this world -- and if we are to create a world that supports all living things equally.\r\n\r\n<em>Chiron will be moving into <strong>Aries</strong> in April</em>, so as best as you can, think back over the last 7 years (while Chiron has been in <strong>Pisces</strong>); <strong>ask yourself</strong>: In what ways have I been able to heal my relationship to the divine? Am I more in touch with my own intuition now vs, then (2011)? What sensitivities or limitations have come up around the feeling-body? What still needs my love, understanding and compassion in those areas of my life?\r\n\r\nIf we can shift our perspective from \"failure and blame\" to \"growth and learning\", we have an opportunity here to take a quantum leap forward in our individual and collective evolution. If a mere 5% of us went through a transformation, imagine what that would trigger for all.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself</strong>: Am I going to be one of the 5%? What might shift if I allowed myself to flow with the energetic stream rather than struggle against it? What might be possible if I gave my body and mind the opportunity to slow down, perhaps even get completely quiet at least 5 minutes every day?\r\n\r\n<em>Venus, Mercury and Uranus are all in <strong>Aries</strong></em> at the time of this New Moon. This brings another dimension to the New Moon chart: an action-oriented and direct approach that supports our inner courage.\r\n\r\n<em>Mercury is stationing, preparing to go retrograde on March 22nd</em> (at 17 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong>), and is thus exalted.\r\n\r\nThis brings awareness to our day to day thinking, and how we process and share information; we are more impulsive and quick-minded, and may communicate from a place of passion and courage, or anger. We are also more aware of our own inner dialog and how assertive or aggressive it is.\r\n\r\nPay attention to what\'s \"in your face\" right now. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What\'s important to me? Where do I over-think? Where do I act (or react) without thinking? What are my physical and mental impulses telling me? What role does \"passion\" or \"courage\" play in all of this?\r\n\r\nWe also covered this in our last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the <strong>Mercury Station and Retrograde</strong> is going to impact you personally, feel free to watch the mp4 video-presentation of our last Forum -- we applied what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/jupiters-optimism-mercurys-mental-dance-from-within/\">Here is an excerpt from the webinar. </a>For the full 90+ min. webinars <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a> (available for purchase until March 30th)\r\n\r\n<em>The Mercury Station and Retrograde</em> invite us to go beyond the conditioning of our mind, our stories, and our script, and to release what is no longer in alignment with our personal goals, our passions, our \"true\" Selves.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What if I tapped into my inner courage? What if I communicated honestly, was fearless, was without apologies? What if I gave myself permission to start fresh? Every day, every moment?\r\n\r\n<em>Mars in <strong>Sagittarius</strong> squares the New Moon and Chiron in <strong>Pisces</strong></em>. This might create some restlessness and uneasiness in regards to our healing journey this month. We may feel we are falling behind, become impatient -- easily annoyed, or simply angry at not being where we\'d like to be. We may want to move faster than our emotional/intuitive body is asking us to go at this time -- individually and collectively speaking.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself here</strong>: Am I using my warrior energy to defend my belief systems and view about life, or to explore larger truths? Am I asserting myself so I can walk my own talk, or using my anger to dominate and separate myself further from others?\r\n\r\nIs \"knowingness\" a way to make myself feel better about who I am (i.e. to feel superior), or a compass I can use to explore my life further? Are there any beliefs I hold dear that have limited my connection to Source/intuition? What might be possible if I applied a new approach and brought open-heartedness to those scripts?\r\n\r\nWe may feel triggered by others and may well trigger them. Some of that may feel connected to the past -- something in our history with someone else might be the trigger in question.\r\n\r\nWhen this happens, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> Is this somehow familiar? Is it possible it\'s historical? What does it remind me of? Am I attached to being \"right\" here? Could I welcome wanting approval, safety or control? What if opening my heart created space for all truths to co-exist side by side? No need for conflict, or right, or wrong... simply a space for all of it to be part of the larger sea of life. What might be possible if compassion were the warrior-energy of our heart?\r\n\r\n<em>Mars moves into <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact; it will play a major role for the rest of March and April. If you want to know how all of this is going to impact you personally, feel free to join the next Forecasting Forum -- we will go into Mars\'s involvement with Saturn, and with Pluto\'s Station and Retrograde phases in more detail -- and apply that insight to our own birth charts.\r\n\r\nThe next Forum will be on <strong>Monday, April 2nd, 2018 at</strong> 10am PST/ <strong>1pm EDT</strong>/6pm BST (London-time). <strong>For more info or to register at the regular fee,</strong> <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">click here</a>. <strong>To join for FREE</strong>, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/JLFckh\">become a Star or SuperStar Member</a> on my site\r\n\r\n<em>Neptune, the ruler of <strong>Pisces</strong>,</em> is currently in its own sign and brings a very clear message to this New Moon: for the next 28 days, as best as you can, unplug and listen deeply to your heart and soul. Allow for all feelings to flow; allow for yourself to be with what is.\r\n\r\nTap into the divinity within through any, some, or all of the following: meditation; being in nature; music; dance; energy healing; dream work; creative writing; art; being with your intuition. In the silence we feel the oneness with all there is, we feel the unconditional love the Universe provides.\r\n\r\n<em>Since 2011, when Neptune and Chiron moved into <strong>Pisces</strong></em>, we have been becoming more and more aware that we are One. Everything is energy, everything is connected and everything is in a continuous flow/movement. Each of us is like a drop of water, appearing to be individual, yet also a part of the big ocean of life. We are the sum of all parts: physical, spiritual, emotional, mental… and all that exists is part of the whole.\r\n\r\nTake 5-minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, to get quiet and be with yourself (your intuitive/feeling Self). What might become possible if you gave this to your body and mind on a regular basis?\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What might a healthy connection with the energetic world feel like? What if I were 5% more interested in my inner world? What if I simply embraced whatever I discovered there? Could I simply allow what \"is\" to \"just be\", just for this very moment?\r\n\r\nWe are invited to take actions that are aligned with intuition, and communicate our boundaries... perhaps even remove ourselves from situations, when that is the loving thing to do.\r\n\r\nIn other words: we move with \"all is well\", no matter what the appearance or view looks like, out there in the world. We trust our inner senses. This is something we need to relearn; we are so conditioned to focus on the outside world for answers, to look to our mind-chatter for answers, or to close off and protect ourselves. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What results might I get if I tapped into inner courage, inner sensing/intuition, and the power of compassion... all at the same time?\r\n\r\nAgain, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">feel free to watch my video on the subject .</a>\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in one of the following placements: 25-29 degrees of <strong>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </strong>or<strong> Sagittarius</strong>? If so, you may feel the effects of this extra-powerful New Moon more strongly for the next 6 months. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in <strong>Leo </strong>or<strong> Cancer</strong> (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</em>\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to <i>set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle</i>. Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <strong><i>not</i> </strong>during a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions</i> would be <b>between 2:47pm EDT today (March 17th) and 9:11am EDT Monday morning (March 19th).</b>\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EDT (US East Coast-time), feel free to join my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> <i>or</i> follow me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders on Saturday afternoon, Sunday throughout the day, and Monday morning to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nPart of the reason for this is that on<strong> Saturday at 9:12am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 5.5 hours, <strong>until 2:57pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to go within and meditate or pray/give thanks/converse with your higher Self.\r\n\r\nThis will support us in feeling connected to our inner Universe -- and of course, it will be a tremendous help in healing our emotional wounds. Finally, as always during VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday morning and afternoon ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 12:40pm EDT,</strong> <i>Mars changes signs </i><i>from optimistic, adventurous</i><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> to realistic, prestige-and-accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until May 16th</strong>. For those 8.5 weeks, we tend to feel more determined, goal-oriented and focused. We are not afraid to work hard on attainable goals so that we can see tangible results.\r\n\r\nOur drive to succeed is quite strong, especially when we feel a need for physical and material security — that is, in the realm of all that can be seen and held. Our self-control tends to be quite strong around the expression of \"drives\" -- things like anger, energy, ambition, and sexuality -- in fact, with Mars in Capricorn we are at our least impulsive, with a powerful need to stay in control.\r\n\r\nBecause we have such a strong sense of responsibility, we need to be careful not to start using work to hide from others. Anger can easily get channeled into our work as well. As best as you can, be kind to yourself, remember we all do the best we can; there is no need for extra pressure.\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more focused and determent. You may want to get down to business. If you are a </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 8.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 2:57pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><b><i>,</i></b> where it will journey <b><strong>until Monday evening</strong></b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday after 2:57pm EDT, </b>it\'s time to start setting your Intentions of this Moon cycle.<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here</a><i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 18th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries </i>all day</b> (see Saturday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday night/Sunday very early morning</b> <i>Mercury starts its station-phase</i>. From<b> today on, </b>right through<b> March 29th.</b> <i>Mercury slows down tremendously</i><i>,</i> as it prepares to come to a halt before turning retrograde on March 22nd. During the station, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments during the retrograde -- or the shadow phase that follows.\r\n\r\nFor the next 12 days, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait until after May 3rd, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 14-19 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></i><b><i>, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday evening,</strong> <em>a Sun/Chiron alignment in 28 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:15pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Wednesday evening (March 21st). </strong>This gives us an opportunity to heal insecurities or shame through conscious awareness.\r\n\r\nBecoming aware of old wounds or limitations is the first step toward healing them. Bringing compassion, self-acceptance, and love to it is the second. Together, steps one and two make for a beautiful healing experience.\r\n\r\nIt will help to stay grounded — connected to the Earth and your body. If waves of feeling come up, let them, simply observe the waves. Ask yourself: Am I the \"wave\" or am I more than that? As best as you can, allow all \"waves\" to wash ashore, and allow yourself to rest as the vastness that you are (just like the ocean is to the waves).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 25-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of <strong>Aries, Libra, Cancer</strong> or <strong>Capricorn</strong></i><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso, <b>Sunday all day: </b>If you haven\'t gotten around to it yet,<i> </i><i>set your Intentions</i> for this Moon cycle...

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 11:36am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 6:44pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan all of Monday afternoon and early evening ahead of time\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 6:44pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Thursday morning</strong><b>.</b> The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius </i>all day </b>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Venus/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 8:39am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. </strong>This aspect<b> </b>asks us to stretch and grow beyond how we\'ve known ourselves in our relationships up to this point -- a process of maturing that requires we adjust and stay flexible.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, we want to make new and passionate connections while enthusiastically engaging with life; on the other hand, we feel a sharp need to focus on what we want to manifest long-term -- what works, what doesn\'t, what are our resources to make it happen, how can we move from A to B without missing anything essential -- in short, to determine what\'s real and can provide us with the best foundation for the next step. Do your best to make space for both of these urges.\r\n\r\nWe tend to be more cautious when it comes to relationships and finances now -- and in fact, this is not the best time to start a brand-new romantic relationship. Financially though, this aspect can be eye-opening; if we can find creative ways to deal with money, we will grow from it.\r\n\r\nThe key is to approach things in both realms with enthusiasm and maturity. Pushing will most likely not get us what we want: better to go one step at a time, slow and steady; that way, we can come back later with a stronger approach and more mature expectations.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><i> 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late afternoon,</strong> <em>a harmonious Sun/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 4:06pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Friday. </strong>It’s an opportunity to see things from a different perspective. What will lead us to this new vantage point?\r\n\r\nOptimism, an open mind, an open heart: Follow your enthusiasm as if it were a wilderness guide — and let yourself be creative and free, especially with or around other people.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 14th): <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b></strong><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Mars/Chiron aspect </em>becomes exact at 2:10am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Thursday night (March 8th) on; it will remain strong until next week Monday (March 19th). </strong>This aspect challenges us to see our own attachments and aversions as a normal, perhaps even valid, part of being human. That way, should we choose to express desire or anger (or even contempt or disgust), such expressions will feel natural and organic, rather than something that provokes shame.\r\n\r\nWe may experience situations that call forth our initiative and independence -- but may not feel confident that we can rise to the challenge, let alone follow through. As best as you can, when the challenge comes: Get into action, feel the excitement that comes with stepping out of the familiar. Ask yourself: What would my hero do?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 25-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or 0-1 degree of <strong>Capricorn, Aries, Cancer,</strong> or <strong>Libra</strong></i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\"> </b><i>will feel most affected by this aspect.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 15th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><strong> until 6:12am EDT</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 3:32am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 2.5 hours, <strong>until 6:12am EDT</strong>. If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it as an opportunity to explore larger truths and your own life further.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday early morning ahead of time\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 6:12am EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><b><i>, </i></b>where it will journey <strong>until Saturday afternoon</strong>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.<b> </b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday: </strong><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Friday late morning,</b> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours.\r\n\r\n<b>Friday, late in the evening, </b>we have the opportunity to be guided by inspiration, and fully commit to a project or task that might serve us long-term. As best as you can, listen and trust to the subtle messages in your heart, that stir you towards success.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 17th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><strong> until 2:57pm EDT</strong> (see Thursday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<span class=\"im\"><b><span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1076589850\"><span class=\"aQJ\">Saturday at 9:11am EDT</span></span>,</b><i> the</i> <i>Moon will align with the Sun in almost 27 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces;</i></b> this marks the beginning of a <em>new Moon cycle</em>.

It connects us to our spiritual journey, as it represents a reunion with Source/God/the Universe. When at its highest vibration, <b>Pisces </b>unifies all dualities -- it is completely aware of the oneness of all. It tells us there is a union within, that exists always, and we can tap into it.</div>\r\n<div><b> </b></div>\r\n<div><b>Pisces</b> is accepting and aware of its eternal nature. It lovingly allows all, because it knows that there is no real separation between things, that separation only exists in the mind.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>At it\'s lowest vibration however, <strong>Pisces</strong> feels separate, fearful, and victimized. It wants to escape the harsh physical realities of this world. We get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not go within to connect with our inner divinity, when we do not trust ourselves, our inner processes and intuitive Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What stops me from connecting to my inner divinity? What if I opened to the perfection of life? What if I trusted to universal timing? Might plenty of down-time and rest actually support my reconnection with Source-energy or my intuitive Self?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>This New Moon aligns with Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>: this amplifies the message to be conscious of our intuitive/spiritual healing journey -- individually and collectively ;-) We are being invited to forgive our own \"humanness\" and open our hearts. Suppressing or denying our feelings and intuitive gifts is even less recommended now.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>There is no shame in feeling things, in being sensitive, in being imaginative and kind -- not just with the people we love but publicly as well. We are invited to shift our perspective about \"feelings\" and \"being sensitive\", from perceiving it as weakness, to allowing it to be our strength, our gift.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We are invited to embrace all of who we are (including our emotional body), if we are to fully function in this world -- and if we are to create a world that supports all living things equally.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>Chiron will be moving into <strong>Aries</strong> in April,</em> so as best as you can, think back over the last 7 years (while Chiron has been in <strong>Pisces</strong>); <strong>ask yourself:</strong> In what ways have I been able to heal my relationship to the divine? Am I more in touch with my own intuition now vs, then (2011)? What sensitivities or limitations have come up around the feeling-body? What still needs my love, understanding and compassion in those areas of my life?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>If we can shift our perspective from \"failure and blame\" to \"growth and learning\", we have an opportunity here to take a quantum leap forward in our individual and collective evolution. If a mere 5% of us went through a transformation, imagine what that would trigger for all.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Am I going to be one of the 5%? What might shift if I allowed myself to flow with the energetic stream rather than struggle against it? What might be possible if I gave my body and mind the opportunity to slow down, perhaps even get completely quiet at least 5 minutes every day?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Venus, Mercury and Uranus are all in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b>at the time of this New Moon. This brings another dimension to the New Moon chart: an action-oriented and direct approach that supports our inner courage.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Mercury is stationing</i>, preparing to go retrograde on <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1076589851\"><span class=\"aQJ\">March 22nd</span></span> (at 17 degrees of <b>Aries)</b>, and is thus exalted.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>This brings awareness to our day to day thinking, and how we process and share information; we are more impulsive and quick-minded, and may communicate from a place of passion and courage, or anger. We are also more aware of our own inner dialog and how assertive or aggressive it is.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Pay attention to what\'s \"in your face\" right now. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What\'s important to me? Where do I over-think? Where do I act (or react) without thinking? What are my physical and mental impulses telling me? What role does \"passion\" play in all of this?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We also covered this in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the Mercury Station and Retrograde is going to impact you personally, feel free to watch the mp4 video-presentation of our last Forum -- we applied what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/jupiters-optimism-mercurys-mental-dance-from-within/\">Here is an excerpt from the webinar. </a>For the full 90+ min. webinars <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>The Mercury Station and Retrograde</em> invite us to go beyond the conditioning of our mind, our stories, and our script, and to release what is no longer in alignment with our personal goals, our passions, our \"true\" Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What if I tapped into my inner courage? What if I communicated honestly, was fearless, was without apologies? What if I gave myself permission to start fresh? Every day, every moment?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> squares the New Moon and Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>. This might create some restlessness and uneasiness in regards to our healing journey this month. We may feel we are falling behind, become impatient -- easily annoyed, or simply angry at not being where we\'d like to be. We may want to move faster than our emotional/intuitive body is asking us to go at this time -- individually and collectively speaking.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself here</strong>: Am I using my warrior energy to defend my belief systems and view about life, or to explore larger truths? Am I asserting myself so I can walk my own talk, or using my anger to dominate and separate myself further from others?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Is \"knowingness\" a way to make myself feel better about who I am (i.e. to feel superior), or a compass I can use to explore my life further? Are there any beliefs I hold dear that have limited my connection to Source/intuition? What might be possible if I applied a new approach and brought open-heartedness to those scripts?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We may feel triggered by others and may well trigger them. Some of that may feel connected to the past -- something in our history with someone else might be the trigger in question.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>When this happens, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> Is this somehow familiar? Is it possible it\'s historical? What does it remind me of? Am I attached to being \"right\" here? Could I welcome wanting approval, safety or control? What if opening my heart created space for all truths to co-exist side by side? No need for conflict, or right, or wrong... simply a space for all of it to be part of the larger sea of life. What might be possible if compassion were the warrior-energy of our heart?</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n<em>Mars moves into <strong>Capricorn</strong> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact</em>; it will play a major role for the rest of March and April. If you want to know how all of this is going to impact you personally, feel free to join the next Forecasting Forum -- we will go into Mars\'s involvement with Saturn, and with Pluto\'s Station and Retrograde phases in more detail -- and apply that insight to our own birth charts.\r\n\r\nThe next Forum will be on <b>Monday</b>, <b>April 2nd, 2018 at </b>10am<b> </b>PST/<b> 1pm EDT</b>/6pm BST (London-time). For more info or to register, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">click here</a>.

Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <strong><i>not</i> </strong>during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions</i> would be <b>between 2:47pm EDT today (March 17th) and 9:11am EDT Monday morning (March 19th).</b>\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EDT (US East Coast-time), feel free to join my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> <i>or</i> follow me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders on Saturday afternoon, Sunday throughout the day, and Monday morning to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nPart of the reason for this is that on<strong> Saturday at 9:12am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 5.5 hours, <strong>until 2:57pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to go within and meditate or pray/give thanks/converse with your higher Self.\r\n\r\nThis will support us in feeling connected to our inner Universe -- and of course, it will be a tremendous help in healing our emotional wounds. Finally, as always during VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday morning and afternoon ahead of time.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<strong>Saturday at 12:40pm EDT,</strong> <i>Mars changes signs </i><i>from optimistic, adventurous</i><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> to realistic, prestige-and-accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until May 16th</strong>. For those 8.5 weeks, we tend to feel more determined, goal-oriented and focused. We are not afraid to work hard on attainable goals so that we can see tangible results.\r\n\r\nOur drive to succeed is quite strong, especially when we feel a need for physical and material security — that is, in the realm of all that can be seen and held. Our self-control tends to be quite strong around the expression of \"drives\" -- things like anger, energy, ambition, and sexuality -- in fact, with Mars in Capricorn we are at our least impulsive, with a powerful need to stay in control.\r\n\r\nBecause we have such a strong sense of responsibility, we need to be careful not to start using work to hide from others. Anger can easily get channeled into our work as well. As best as you can, be kind to yourself, remember we all do the best we can; there is no need for extra pressure.\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more focused and determent. You may want to get down to business. If you are a </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 8.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 2:57pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><b><i>,</i></b> where it will journey <b><strong>until Monday evening</strong></b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday after 2:57pm EDT, </b>it\'s time to start setting your Intentions of this Moon cycle.<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here</a><i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 18th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries </i>all day</b> (see Saturday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday night/Sunday very early morning</b> <i>Mercury starts its station-phase</i>. From<b> today on, </b>right through<b> March 29th.</b> <i>Mercury slows down tremendously</i><i>,</i> as it prepares to come to a halt before turning retrograde on March 22nd. During the station, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments during the retrograde -- or the shadow phase that follows.\r\n\r\nFor the next 12 days, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait until after May 3rd, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 14-19 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></i><b><i>, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday evening,</strong> <em>a Sun/Chiron alignment in 28 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:15pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Wednesday evening (March 21st). </strong>This gives us an opportunity to heal insecurities or shame through conscious awareness.\r\n\r\nBecoming aware of old wounds or limitations is the first step toward healing them. Bringing compassion, self-acceptance, and love to it is the second. Together, steps one and two make for a beautiful healing experience.\r\n\r\nIt will help to stay grounded — connected to the Earth and your body. If waves of feeling come up, let them, simply observe the waves. Ask yourself: Am I the \"wave\" or am I more than that? As best as you can, allow all \"waves\" to wash ashore, and allow yourself to rest as the vastness that you are (just like the ocean is to the waves).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 25-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of <strong>Aries, Libra, Cancer</strong> or <strong>Capricorn</strong></i><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso, <b>Sunday all day: </b>If you haven\'t gotten around to it yet,<i> </i><i>set your Intentions</i> for this Moon cycle...

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 11:36am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 6:44pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan all of Monday afternoon and early evening ahead of time <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 6:44pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Thursday morning</strong><b>.</b> The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius </i>all day </b>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Venus/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 8:39am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. </strong>This aspect<b> </b>asks us to stretch and grow beyond how we\'ve known ourselves in our relationships up to this point -- a process of maturing that requires we adjust and stay flexible.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, we want to make spiritual or romantic connections, while going with the flow, feeling our way through. On the other hand, we feel a sharp need to explore “the truth” about ourselves/others/life — to determine what beliefs align with our own direct experience. Do your best to make space for both of these urges.\r\n\r\nWe tend to be more cautious when it comes to relationships and finances now -- and in fact, this is not the best time to start a brand-new romantic relationship. Financially though, this aspect can be eye-opening; if we can find creative ways to deal with money, we will grow from it.\r\n\r\nThe key is to approach things in both realms with intuition and maturity. Pushing will most likely not get us what we want: better to go one step at a time, slow and steady; that way, we can come back later with a stronger approach and more mature expectations.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><i> 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late afternoon,</strong> <em>a harmonious Sun/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 4:06pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Friday. </strong>It’s an opportunity to see things from a different perspective. What will lead us to this new vantage point?\r\n\r\nOptimism, an open mind, an open heart: Follow your enthusiasm as if it were a wilderness guide — and let yourself be creative and free, especially with or around other people.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 14th): <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b></strong><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Mars/Chiron aspect </em>becomes exact at 2:10am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Thursday night (March 8th) on; it will remain strong until next week Monday (March 19th). </strong>This aspect challenges us to see our own attachments and aversions as a normal, perhaps even valid, part of being human. That way, should we choose to express desire or anger (or even contempt or disgust), such expressions will feel natural and organic, rather than something that provokes shame.\r\n\r\nWe may experience situations that call forth our initiative and independence -- but may not feel confident that we can rise to the challenge, let alone follow through. As best as you can, when the challenge comes: Get into action, feel the excitement that comes with stepping out of the familiar. Ask yourself: What would my hero do?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 25-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or 0-1 degree of <strong>Capricorn, Aries, Cancer,</strong> or <strong>Libra</strong></i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\"> </b><i>will feel most affected by this aspect.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 15th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><strong> until 6:12am EDT</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 3:32am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 2.5 hours, <strong>until 6:12am EDT</strong>.

This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.<b> </b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday: </strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday morning for details).</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Friday late morning,</b> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little.

What might be possible if I gave my body and mind the opportunity to slow down, perhaps even get completely quiet at least 5 minutes every day?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Venus, Mercury and Uranus are all in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b>at the time of this New Moon. This brings another dimension to the New Moon chart: an action-oriented and direct approach that supports our inner courage.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Mercury is stationing</i>, preparing to go retrograde on <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1076589851\"><span class=\"aQJ\">March 22nd</span></span> (at 17 degrees of <b>Aries)</b>, and is thus exalted.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>This brings awareness to our day to day thinking, and how we process and share information; we are more impulsive and quick-minded, and may communicate from a place of passion and courage, or anger. We are also more aware of our own inner dialog and how assertive or aggressive it is.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Pay attention to what\'s \"in your face\" right now. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What\'s important to me? Where do I over-think? Where do I act (or react) without thinking? What are my physical and mental impulses telling me? What role does \"passion\" play in all of this?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We also covered this in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the Mercury Station and Retrograde is going to impact you personally, feel free to watch the mp4 video-presentation of our last Forum -- we applied what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/jupiters-optimism-mercurys-mental-dance-from-within/\">Here is an excerpt of the webinar. </a>For the full 90+ min. webinars <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>The Mercury Station and Retrograde</em> invites us to go beyond the conditioning of our mind, our stories, and our script, and to release what is no longer in alignment with our personal goals, our passions, our \"true\" Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What if I tapped into my inner courage? What if I communicated honestly, was fearless, was without apologies? What if I gave myself permission to start fresh? Every day, every moment?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> squares the New Moon and Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>. This might create some restlessness and uneasiness in regards to our healing journey this month. We may feel we are falling behind, become impatient -- easily annoyed, or simply angry at not being where we\'d like to be. We may want to move faster than our emotional/intuitive body is asking us to go at this time -- individually and collectively speaking.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself here</strong>: Am I using my warrior energy to defend my belief systems and view about life, or to explore larger truths? Am I asserting myself so I can walk my own talk, or simply using my anger to dominate and separate myself further from others?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Is \"knowingness\" a way to make myself feel better about who I am (i.e. to feel superior), or a compass I can use to explore my life further? Are there any beliefs I hold dear that have limited my connection to Source/intuition? What might be possible if I applied a new approach and brought open-heartedness to those scripts?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We may feel triggered by others and may well trigger them. Some of that may feel connected to the past -- something in our history with someone else might be the trigger in question.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>When this happens, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> Is this somehow familiar? Is it possible it\'s historical? What does it remind me of? Am I attached to being \"right\" here? Could I welcome wanting approval, safety or control? What if opening my heart created space for all truths to co-exist side by side? No need for conflict, or right, or wrong... simply a space for all of it to be part of the larger sea of life. What might be possible if compassion were the warrior-energy of our heart?</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">Mars moves into Capricorn only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact and will be playing a major role for the rest of March and April.

Allow for all feelings to flow; allow for yourself to be with what is.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Tap into the divinity within through any, some, or all of the following: meditation; being in nature; music; dance; energy healing; dream work; creative writing; art; being with your intuition. In the silence we feel the oneness with all there is, we feel the unconditional love the Universe provides.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Since 2011, when Neptune and Chiron moved into <b>Pisces</b>, we have been becoming more and more aware that we are<b> One. </b>Everything is energy, everything is connected and everything is in a continuous flow/movement. Each of us is like a drop of water, appearing to be individual, yet also a part of the big ocean of life.

We trust our inner senses. This is something we need to relearn; we are so conditioned to focus on the outside world for answers, to look to our mind-chatter for answers, or to close off and protect ourselves. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What results might I get if I tapped into inner courage, inner sensing/intuition, and the power of compassion... all at the same time?</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><span class=\"im\">Again, feel free to also watch my New Moon video on the subject: <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">youtube.//...</span></span></div>\r\n<div>\r\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\r\n<div class=\"gmail_default\">\r\n<div class=\"yj6qo ajU\">\r\n<div id=\":7xx\" class=\"ajR\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Hide expanded content\" data-tooltip=\"Hide expanded content\"><img class=\"ajT\" src=\"https://ssl.gstatic.com/ui/v1/icons/mail/images/cleardot.gif\" /></div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div class=\"adL\">\r\n<div><i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in one of the following placements: 25-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>?

Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <strong><i>not</i> </strong>during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions</i> would be <b>between 2:47pm EDT today (March 17th) and 9:11am EDT Monday morning (March 19th).</b>\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EDT (US East Coast-time), feel free to join my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a>: <span style=\"color: #993300;\">www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis</span> <i>or</i> follow me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">twitter</a>: <span style=\"color: #993300;\">www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis</span>. I will be posting reminders on Saturday afternoon, Sunday throughout the day, and Monday morning to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nPart of the reason for this is that on<strong> Saturday at 9:12am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 5.5 hours, <strong>until 2:57pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to go within and meditate or pray/give thanks/converse with your higher Self.\r\n\r\nThis will support us in feeling connected to our inner Universe -- and of course, it will be a tremendous help in healing our emotional wounds. Finally, as always during VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday morning and afternoon ahead of time. <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon conjuncts Sun in <strong>Pisces</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<strong>Saturday at 12:40pm EDT,</strong> <i>Mars changes signs </i><i>from optimistic, adventurous</i><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> to realistic, prestige-and-accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until May 16th</strong>. For those 8.5 weeks, we tend to feel more determined, goal-oriented and focused. We are not afraid to work hard on attainable goals, so that we can see tangible results.\r\n\r\nOur drive to succeed is quite strong, especially when we feel a need for physical and material security — that is, in the realm of all that can be seen and held. Our self-control tends to be quite strong around the expression of \"drives\" -- things like anger, energy, ambition and sexuality -- in fact, with Mars in Capricorn we are at our least impulsive, with a powerful need to stay in control.\r\n\r\nBecause we have such a strong sense of responsibility, we need to be careful not to start using work to hide from others. Anger can easily get channelled into our work as well. As best as you can, be kind to yourself, remember we all do the best we can; there is no need for extra pressure.\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more focused and determent. You may want to get down to business. If you are a </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 8.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 2:57pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><b><i>,</i></b> where it will journey <b><strong>until Monday evening</strong></b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday after 2:57pm EDT, </b>it\'s time to start setting your Intentions of this Moon cycle.<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/TijxuK\">https://goo.gl/TijxuK</a><i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 18th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries </i>all day</b> (see Saturday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday night/Sunday very early morning</b> <i>Mercury starts its station-phase</i>. From<b> today on, </b>right through<b> March 29th.</b> <i>Mercury slows down tremendously</i><i>,</i> as it prepares to come to a halt before turning retrograde on March 22nd. During the station, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments during the retrograde -- or the shadow phase that follows.\r\n\r\nFor the next 12 days, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait until after May 3rd, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">14-19 degrees</span> of <strong>Aries</strong></i><b><i>, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday evening,</strong> <em>a Sun/Chiron alignment in 28 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:15pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Wednesday evening (March 21st). </strong>This gives us an opportunity to heal insecurities or shame through conscious awareness.\r\n\r\nBecoming aware of old wounds or limitations is the first step toward healing them. Bringing compassion, self-acceptance and love to it is the second. Together, steps one and two make for a beautiful healing experience.\r\n\r\nIt will help to stay grounded — connected to the Earth and your body. If waves of feeling come up, let them, simply observe the waves. Ask yourself: Am I the \"wave\" or am I more than that? As best as you can, allow all \"waves\" to wash ashore, and allow yourself to rest as the vastness that you are (just like the ocean is to the waves).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 25-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of <strong>Aries, Libra, Cancer</strong> or <strong>Capricorn</strong></i><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso, <b>Sunday all day: </b>If you haven\'t gotten around to it yet,<i> </i><i>set your Intentions</i> for this Moon cycle...

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 11:36am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 6:44pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan all of Monday afternoon and early evening ahead of time <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 6:44pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Thursday morning</strong><b>.</b> The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius </i>all day </b>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Venus/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 8:39am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. </strong>This aspect<b> </b>asks us to stretch and grow beyond how we\'ve known ourselves in our relationships up to this point -- a process of maturing that requires we adjust and stay flexible.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, we want to make spiritual or romantic connections, while going with the flow, feeling our way through. On the other hand, we feel a sharp need to explore “the truth” about ourselves/others/life — to determine what beliefs align with our own direct experience. Do your best to make space for both of these urges.\r\n\r\nWe tend to be more cautious when it comes to relationships and finances now -- and in fact, this is not the best time to start a brand-new romantic relationship. Financially though, this aspect can be eye-opening; if we can find creative ways to deal with money, we will grow from it.\r\n\r\nThe key is to approach things in both realms with intuition and maturity. Pushing will most likely not get us what we want: better to go one step at a time, slow and steady; that way, we can come back later with a stronger approach and more mature expectations.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><i> 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late afternoon,</strong> <em>a harmonious Sun/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 4:06pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Friday. </strong>It’s an opportunity to see things from a different perspective. What will lead us to this new vantage point?\r\n\r\nOptimism, an open mind, an open heart: Follow your enthusiasm as if it were a wilderness guide — and let yourself be creative and free, especially with or around other people.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 14th): <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b></strong><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Mars/Chiron aspect </em>becomes exact at 2:10am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Thursday night (March 8th) on; it will remain strong until next week Monday (March 19th). </strong>This aspect challenges us to see our own attachments and aversions as a normal, perhaps even valid, part of being human. That way, should we choose to express desire or anger (or even contempt or disgust), such expressions will feel natural and organic, rather than something that provokes shame.\r\n\r\nWe may experience situations that call forth our initiative and independence -- but may not feel confident that we can rise to the challenge, let alone follow through. As best as you can, when the challenge comes: Get into action, feel the excitement that comes with stepping out of the familiar.

This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\".

It connects us to our spiritual journey, as it represents a reunion with Source/God/the Universe. When at its highest vibration, <b>Pisces </b>unifies all dualities -- it is completely aware of the oneness of all. It tells us there is a union within, that exists always, and we can tap into it.</div>\r\n<div><b> </b></div>\r\n<div><b>Pisces</b> is accepting and aware of its eternal nature. It lovingly allows all, because it knows that there is no real separation between things, that separation only exists in the mind.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>At it\'s lowest vibration however, <strong>Pisces</strong> feels separate, fearful, and victimized. It wants to escape the harsh physical realities of this world. We get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not go within to connect with our inner divinity, when we do not trust ourselves, our inner processes and intuitive Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What stops me from connecting to my inner divinity? What if I opened to the perfection of life? What if I trusted to universal timing? Might plenty of down-time and rest actually support my reconnection with Source-energy or my intuitive Self?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>This New Moon aligns with Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>: this amplifies the message to be conscious of our intuitive/spiritual healing journey -- individually and collectively ;-) We are being invited to forgive our own \"humanness\" and open our hearts. Suppressing or denying our feelings and intuitive gifts is even less recommended now.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>There is no shame in feeling things, in being sensitive, in being imaginative and kind -- not just with the people we love but publicly as well. We are invited to shift our perspective about \"feelings\" and \"being sensitive\", from perceiving it as weakness, to allowing it to be our strength, our gift.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We are invited to embrace all of who we are (including our emotional body), if we are to fully function in this world -- and if we are to create a world that supports all living things equally.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>Chiron will be moving into <strong>Aries</strong> in April,</em> so as best as you can, think back over the last 7 years (while Chiron has been in <strong>Pisces</strong>); <strong>ask yourself:</strong> In what ways have I been able to heal my relationship to the divine? Am I more in touch with my own intuition now vs, then (2011)? What sensitivities or limitations have come up around the feeling-body? What still needs my love, understanding and compassion in those areas of my life?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>If we can shift our perspective from \"failure and blame\" to \"growth and learning\", we have an opportunity here to take a quantum leap forward in our individual and collective evolution. If a mere 5% of us went through a transformation, imagine what that would trigger for all.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Am I going to be one of the 5%? What might shift if I allowed myself to flow with the energetic stream rather than struggle against it? What might be possible if I gave my body and mind the opportunity to slow down, perhaps even get completely quiet at least 5 minutes every day?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Venus, Mercury and Uranus are all in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b>at the time of this New Moon. This brings another dimension to the New Moon chart: an action-oriented and direct approach that supports our inner courage.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Mercury is stationing</i>, preparing to go retrograde on <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1076589851\"><span class=\"aQJ\">March 22nd</span></span> (at 17 degrees of <b>Aries)</b>, and is thus exalted.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>This brings awareness to our day to day thinking, and how we process and share information; we are more impulsive and quick-minded, and may communicate from a place of passion and courage, or anger. We are also more aware of our own inner dialog and how assertive or aggressive it is.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Pay attention to what\'s \"in your face\" right now. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What\'s important to me? Where do I over-think? Where do I act (or react) without thinking? What are my physical and mental impulses telling me? What role does \"passion\" play in all of this?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We also covered this in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the Mercury Station and Retrograde is going to impact you personally, feel free to watch the mp4 video-presentation of our last Forum -- we applied what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/jupiters-optimism-mercurys-mental-dance-from-within/\">Here is an excerpt of the webinar. </a>For the full 90+ min. webinars <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>The Mercury Station and Retrograde</em> invites us to go beyond the conditioning of our mind, our stories, and our script, and to release what is no longer in alignment with our personal goals, our passions, our \"true\" Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What if I tapped into my inner courage? What if I communicated honestly, was fearless, was without apologies? What if I gave myself permission to start fresh? Every day, every moment?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> squares the New Moon and Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>. This might create some restlessness and uneasiness in regards to our healing journey this month. We may feel we are falling behind, become impatient -- easily annoyed, or simply angry at not being where we\'d like to be. We may want to move faster than our emotional/intuitive body is asking us to go at this time -- individually and collectively speaking.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself here</strong>: Am I using my warrior energy to defend my belief systems and view about life, or to explore larger truths? Am I asserting myself so I can walk my own talk, or simply using my anger to dominate and separate myself further from others?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Is \"knowingness\" a way to make myself feel better about who I am (i.e. to feel superior), or a compass I can use to explore my life further? Are there any beliefs I hold dear that have limited my connection to Source/intuition? What might be possible if I applied a new approach and brought open-heartedness to those scripts?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We may feel triggered by others and may well trigger them. Some of that may feel connected to the past -- something in our history with someone else might be the trigger in question.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>When this happens, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> Is this somehow familiar? Is it possible it\'s historical? What does it remind me of? Am I attached to being \"right\" here? Could I welcome wanting approval, safety or control? What if opening my heart created space for all truths to co-exist side by side? No need for conflict, or right, or wrong... simply a space for all of it to be part of the larger sea of life. What might be possible if compassion were the warrior-energy of our heart?</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">Mars moves into Capricorn only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact and will be playing a major role for the rest of March and April.

In the silence we feel the oneness with all there is, we feel the unconditional love the Universe provides.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Since 2011, when Neptune and Chiron moved into <b>Pisces</b>, we have been becoming more and more aware that we are<b> One. </b>Everything is energy, everything is connected and everything is in a continuous flow/movement. Each of us is like a drop of water, appearing to be individual, yet also a part of the big ocean of life.

We trust our inner senses. This is something we need to relearn; we are so conditioned to focus on the outside world for answers, to look to our mind-chatter for answers, or to close off and protect ourselves. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What results might I get if I tapped into inner courage, inner sensing/intuition, and the power of compassion... all at the same time?</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><span class=\"im\">Again, feel free to also watch my New Moon video on the subject: <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">youtube.//...</span></span></div>\r\n<div>\r\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\r\n<div class=\"gmail_default\">\r\n<div class=\"yj6qo ajU\">\r\n<div id=\":7xx\" class=\"ajR\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Hide expanded content\" data-tooltip=\"Hide expanded content\"><img class=\"ajT\" src=\"https://ssl.gstatic.com/ui/v1/icons/mail/images/cleardot.gif\" /></div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div class=\"adL\">\r\n<div><i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in one of the following placements: 25-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>?

Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <strong><i>not</i> </strong>during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions</i> would be <b>between 2:47pm EDT today (March 17th) and 9:11am EDT Monday morning (March 19th).</b>\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EDT (US East Coast-time), feel free to join my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a>: <span style=\"color: #993300;\">www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis</span> <i>or</i> follow me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">twitter</a>: <span style=\"color: #993300;\">www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis</span>. I will be posting reminders on Saturday afternoon, Sunday throughout the day, and Monday morning to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nPart of the reason for this is that on<strong> Saturday at 9:12am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 5.5 hours, <strong>until 2:57pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to go within and meditate or pray/give thanks/converse with your higher Self.\r\n\r\nThis will support us in feeling connected to our inner Universe -- and of course, it will be a tremendous help in healing our emotional wounds. Finally, as always during VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday morning and afternoon ahead of time. <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon conjuncts Sun in <strong>Pisces</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<strong>Saturday at 12:40pm EDT,</strong> <i>Mars changes signs </i><i>from optimistic, adventurous</i><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> to realistic, prestige-and-accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until May 16th</strong>. For those 8.5 weeks, we tend to feel more determined, goal-oriented and focused. We are not afraid to work hard on attainable goals, so that we can see tangible results.\r\n\r\nOur drive to succeed is quite strong, especially when we feel a need for physical and material security — that is, in the realm of all that can be seen and held. Our self-control tends to be quite strong around the expression of \"drives\" -- things like anger, energy, ambition and sexuality -- in fact, with Mars in Capricorn we are at our least impulsive, with a powerful need to stay in control.\r\n\r\nBecause we have such a strong sense of responsibility, we need to be careful not to start using work to hide from others. Anger can easily get channelled into our work as well. As best as you can, be kind to yourself, remember we all do the best we can; there is no need for extra pressure.\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more focused and determent. You may want to get down to business. If you are a </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 8.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 2:57pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><b><i>,</i></b> where it will journey <b><strong>until Monday evening</strong></b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday after 2:57pm EDT, </b>it\'s time to start setting your Intentions of this Moon cycle.<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/TijxuK\">https://goo.gl/TijxuK</a><i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 18th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries </i>all day</b> (see Saturday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday night/Sunday very early morning</b> <i>Mercury starts its station-phase</i>. From<b> today on, </b>right through<b> March 29th.</b> <i>Mercury slows down tremendously</i><i>,</i> as it prepares to come to a halt before turning retrograde on March 22nd. During the station, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments during the retrograde -- or the shadow phase that follows.\r\n\r\nFor the next 12 days, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait until after May 3rd, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">14-19 degrees</span> of <strong>Aries</strong></i><b><i>, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday evening,</strong> <em>a Sun/Chiron alignment in 28 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:15pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Wednesday evening (March 21st). </strong>This gives us an opportunity to heal insecurities or shame through conscious awareness.\r\n\r\nBecoming aware of old wounds or limitations is the first step toward healing them. Bringing compassion, self-acceptance and love to it is the second. Together, steps one and two make for a beautiful healing experience.\r\n\r\nIt will help to stay grounded — connected to the Earth and your body. If waves of feeling come up, let them, simply observe the waves. Ask yourself: Am I the \"wave\" or am I more than that? As best as you can, allow all \"waves\" to wash ashore, and allow yourself to rest as the vastness that you are (just like the ocean is to the waves).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 25-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of <strong>Aries, Libra, Cancer</strong> or <strong>Capricorn</strong></i><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this alignment.

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 11:36am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 6:44pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan all of Monday afternoon and early evening ahead of time <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 6:44pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Thursday morning</strong><b>.</b> The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius </i>all day </b>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Venus/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 8:39am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. </strong>This aspect<b> </b>asks us to stretch and grow beyond how we\'ve known ourselves in our relationships up to this point -- a process of maturing that requires we adjust and stay flexible.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">On the one hand, we want to make new and passionate connections, while enthusiastically engaging with life. On the other hand, we feel a sharp need to focus on what we want to manifest long-term, what works, what doesn\'t, what are our resources to make it happen, how can we move from A to B without missing anything that\'s essential — to determine what\'s real and gives us the best foundation to move to the next step.</span> Do your best to make space for both of these urges.\r\n\r\nWe tend to be more cautious when it comes to relationships and finances now -- and in fact, this is not the best time to start a brand-new romantic relationship. Financially though, this aspect can be eye-opening; if we can find creative ways to deal with money, we will grow from it.\r\n\r\nThe key is to approach things in both realms with enthusiasm and maturity. Pushing will most likely not get us what we want: better to go one step at a time, slow and steady; that way, we can come back later with a stronger approach and more mature expectations.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><i> 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late afternoon,</strong> <em>a harmonious Sun/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 4:06pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Friday. </strong>It’s an opportunity to see things from a different perspective. What will lead us to this new vantage point?\r\n\r\nOptimism, an open mind, an open heart: Follow your enthusiasm as if it were a wilderness guide — and let yourself be creative and free, especially with or around other people.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 14th): <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b></strong><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Mars/Chiron aspect </em>becomes exact at 2:10am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Thursday night (March 8th) on; it will remain strong until next week Monday (March 19th). </strong>This aspect challenges us to see our own attachments and aversions as a normal, perhaps even valid, part of being human. That way, should we choose to express desire or anger (or even contempt or disgust), such expressions will feel natural and organic, rather than something that provokes shame.\r\n\r\nWe may experience situations that call forth our initiative and independence -- but may not feel confident that we can rise to the challenge, let alone follow through. As best as you can, when the challenge comes: Get into action, feel the excitement that comes with stepping out of the familiar. Ask yourself: What would my hero do?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 25-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or 0-1 degree of <strong>Capricorn, Aries, Cancer,</strong> or <strong>Libra</strong></i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\"> </b><i>will feel most affected by this aspect.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 15th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><strong> until 6:12am EDT</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 3:32am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 2.5 hours, <strong>until 6:12am EDT</strong>.

This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.<b> </b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday: </strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday morning for details).</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Friday late morning,</b> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little.

It connects us to our spiritual journey, as it represents a reunion with Source/God/the Universe. When at its highest vibration, <b>Pisces </b>unifies all dualities -- it is completely aware of the oneness of all. It tells us there is a union within, that exists always, and we can tap into it.</div>\r\n<div><b> </b></div>\r\n<div><b>Pisces</b> is accepting and aware of its eternal nature. It lovingly allows all, because it knows that there is no real separation between things, that separation only exists in the mind.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>At it\'s lowest vibration however, <strong>Pisces</strong> feels separate, fearful, and victimized. It wants to escape the harsh physical realities of this world. We get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not go within to connect with our inner divinity, when we do not trust ourselves, our inner processes and intuitive Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What stops me from connecting to my inner divinity? What if I opened to the perfection of life? What if I trusted to universal timing? Might plenty of down-time and rest actually support my reconnection with Source-energy or my intuitive Self?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>This New Moon aligns with Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>: this amplifies the message to be conscious of our intuitive/spiritual healing journey -- individually and collectively ;-) We are being invited to forgive our own \"humanness\" and open our hearts. Suppressing or denying our feelings and intuitive gifts is even less recommended now.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>There is no shame in feeling things, in being sensitive, in being imaginative and kind -- not just with the people we love but publicly as well. We are invited to shift our perspective about \"feelings\" and \"being sensitive\", from perceiving it as weakness, to allowing it to be our strength, our gift.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We are invited to embrace all of who we are (including our emotional body), if we are to fully function in this world -- and if we are to create a world that supports all living things equally.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>Chiron will be moving into <strong>Aries</strong> in April,</em> so as best as you can, think back over the last 7 years (while Chiron has been in <strong>Pisces</strong>); <strong>ask yourself:</strong> In what ways have I been able to heal my relationship to the divine? Am I more in touch with my own intuition now vs, then (2011)? What sensitivities or limitations have come up around the feeling-body? What still needs my love, understanding and compassion in those areas of my life?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>If we can shift our perspective from \"failure and blame\" to \"growth and learning\", we have an opportunity here to take a quantum leap forward in our individual and collective evolution. If a mere 5% of us went through a transformation, imagine what that would trigger for all.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Am I going to be one of the 5%? What might shift if I allowed myself to flow with the energetic stream rather than struggle against it? What might be possible if I gave my body and mind the opportunity to slow down, perhaps even get completely quiet at least 5 minutes every day?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Venus, Mercury and Uranus are all in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b>at the time of this New Moon. This brings another dimension to the New Moon chart: an action-oriented and direct approach that supports our inner courage.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Mercury is stationing</i>, preparing to go retrograde on <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1076589851\"><span class=\"aQJ\">March 22nd</span></span> (at 17 degrees of <b>Aries)</b>, and is thus exalted.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>This brings awareness to our day to day thinking, and how we process and share information; we are more impulsive and quick-minded, and may communicate from a place of passion and courage, or anger. We are also more aware of our own inner dialog and how assertive or aggressive it is.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Pay attention to what\'s \"in your face\" right now. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What\'s important to me? Where do I over-think? Where do I act (or react) without thinking? What are my physical and mental impulses telling me? What role does \"passion\" play in all of this?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We also covered this in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the Mercury Station and Retrograde is going to impact you personally, feel free to watch the mp4 video-presentation of our last Forum -- we applied what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/jupiters-optimism-mercurys-mental-dance-from-within/\">Here is an excerpt of the webinar. </a>For the full 90+ min. webinars <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>The Mercury Station and Retrograde</em> invites us to go beyond the conditioning of our mind, our stories, and our script, and to release what is no longer in alignment with our personal goals, our passions, our \"true\" Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What if I tapped into my inner courage? What if I communicated honestly, was fearless, was without apologies? What if I gave myself permission to start fresh? Every day, every moment?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> squares the New Moon and Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>. This might create some restlessness and uneasiness in regards to our healing journey this month. We may feel we are falling behind, become impatient -- easily annoyed, or simply angry at not being where we\'d like to be. We may want to move faster than our emotional/intuitive body is asking us to go at this time -- individually and collectively speaking.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself here</strong>: Am I using my warrior energy to defend my belief systems and view about life, or to explore larger truths? Am I asserting myself so I can walk my own talk, or simply using my anger to dominate and separate myself further from others?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Is \"knowingness\" a way to make myself feel better about who I am (i.e. to feel superior), or a compass I can use to explore my life further? Are there any beliefs I hold dear that have limited my connection to Source/intuition? What might be possible if I applied a new approach and brought open-heartedness to those scripts?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We may feel triggered by others and may well trigger them. Some of that may feel connected to the past -- something in our history with someone else might be the trigger in question.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>When this happens, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> Is this somehow familiar? Is it possible it\'s historical? What does it remind me of? Am I attached to being \"right\" here? Could I welcome wanting approval, safety or control? What if opening my heart created space for all truths to co-exist side by side? No need for conflict, or right, or wrong... simply a space for all of it to be part of the larger sea of life. What might be possible if compassion were the warrior-energy of our heart?</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">Mars moves into Capricorn only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact and will be playing a major role for the rest of March and April.

Finally, as always during VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

For those 8.5 weeks, we tend to feel more determined, goal-oriented and focused. We are not afraid to work hard on attainable goals, so that we can see tangible results.\r\n\r\nOur drive to succeed is quite strong, especially when we feel a need for physical and material security — that is, in the realm of all that can be seen and held. Our self-control tends to be quite strong around the expression of \"drives\" -- things like anger, energy, ambition and sexuality -- in fact, with Mars in Capricorn we are at our least impulsive, with a powerful need to stay in control.\r\n\r\nBecause we have such a strong sense of responsibility, we need to be careful not to start using work to hide from others. Anger can easily get channelled into our work as well. As best as you can, be kind to yourself, remember we all do the best we can; there is no need for extra pressure.\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more focused and determent. You may want to get down to business. If you are a </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 8.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 2:57pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><b><i>,</i></b> where it will journey <b><strong>until Monday evening</strong></b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday after 2:57pm EDT, </b>it\'s time to start setting your Intentions of this Moon cycle.<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/TijxuK\">https://goo.gl/TijxuK</a><i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 18th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries </i>all day</b> (see Saturday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday night/Sunday very early morning</b> <i>Mercury starts its station-phase</i>. From<b> today on, </b>right through<b> March 29th.</b> <i>Mercury slows down tremendously</i><i>,</i> as it prepares to come to a halt before turning retrograde on March 22nd. During the station, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments during the retrograde -- or the shadow phase that follows.\r\n\r\nFor the next 12 days, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait until after May 3rd, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">14-19 degrees</span> of <strong>Aries</strong></i><b><i>, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday evening,</strong> <em>a Sun/Chiron alignment in 28 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:15pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Wednesday evening (March 21st). </strong>This gives us an opportunity to heal insecurities or shame through conscious awareness.\r\n\r\nBecoming aware of old wounds or limitations is the first step toward healing them. Bringing compassion, self-acceptance and love to it is the second. Together, steps one and two make for a beautiful healing experience.\r\n\r\nIt will help to stay grounded — connected to the Earth and your body. If waves of feeling come up, let them, simply observe the waves. Ask yourself: Am I the \"wave\" or am I more than that? As best as you can, allow all \"waves\" to wash ashore, and allow yourself to rest as the vastness that you are (just like the ocean is to the waves).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 25-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of <strong>Aries, Libra, Cancer</strong> or <strong>Capricorn</strong></i><i>?

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 11:36am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 6:44pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan all of Monday afternoon and early evening ahead of time <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 6:44pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Thursday morning</strong><b>.</b> The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius </i>all day </b>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Venus/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 8:39am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. </strong>This aspect<b> </b>asks us to stretch and grow beyond how we\'ve known ourselves in our relationships up to this point -- a process of maturing that requires we adjust and stay flexible.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">On the one hand, we want to make new and passionate connections, while enthusiastically engaging with life. On the other hand, we feel a sharp need to focus on what we want to manifest long-term, what works, what doesn\'t, what are our resources to make it happen, how can we move from A to B without missing anything that\'s essential — to determine what\'s real and gives us the best foundation to move to the next step.</span> Do your best to make space for both of these urges.\r\n\r\nWe tend to be more cautious when it comes to relationships and finances now -- and in fact, this is not the best time to start a brand-new romantic relationship. Financially though, this aspect can be eye-opening; if we can find creative ways to deal with money, we will grow from it.\r\n\r\nThe key is to approach things in both realms with enthusiasm and maturity. Pushing will most likely not get us what we want: better to go one step at a time, slow and steady; that way, we can come back later with a stronger approach and more mature expectations.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><i> 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late afternoon,</strong> <em>a harmonious Sun/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 4:06pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Friday. </strong>It’s an opportunity to see things from a different perspective. What will lead us to this new vantage point?\r\n\r\nOptimism, an open mind, an open heart: Follow your enthusiasm as if it were a wilderness guide — and let yourself be creative and free, especially with or around other people.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 14th): <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b></strong><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Mars/Chiron aspect </em>becomes exact at 2:10am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Thursday night (March 8th) on; it will remain strong until next week Monday (March 19th). </strong>This aspect challenges us to see our own attachments and aversions as a normal, perhaps even valid, part of being human. That way, should we choose to express desire or anger (or even contempt or disgust), such expressions will feel natural and organic, rather than something that provokes shame.\r\n\r\nWe may experience situations that call forth our initiative and independence -- but may not feel confident that we can rise to the challenge, let alone follow through. As best as you can, when the challenge comes: Get into action, feel the excitement that comes with stepping out of the familiar. Ask yourself: What would my hero do?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 25-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or 0-1 degree of <strong>Capricorn, Aries, Cancer,</strong> or <strong>Libra</strong></i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\"> </b><i>will feel most affected by this aspect.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 15th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><strong> until 6:12am EDT</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 3:32am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 2.5 hours, <strong>until 6:12am EDT</strong>.

You may also want to plan Thursday early morning ahead of time <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon sextiles Mars in <strong>Sagittarius</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 6:12am EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><b><i>, </i></b>where it will journey <strong>until Saturday afternoon</strong>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.<b> </b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday: </strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday morning for details).</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Friday late morning,</b> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little.

It connects us to our spiritual journey, as it represents a reunion with Source/God/the Universe. When at its highest vibration, <b>Pisces </b>unifies all dualities -- it is completely aware of the oneness of all. It tells us there is a union within, that exists always, and we can tap into it.</div>\r\n<div><b> </b></div>\r\n<div><b>Pisces</b> is accepting and aware of its eternal nature. It lovingly allows all, because it knows that there is no real separation between things, that separation only exists in the mind.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>At it\'s lowest vibration however, <strong>Pisces</strong> feels separate, fearful, and victimized. It wants to escape the harsh physical realities of this world. We get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not go within to connect with our inner divinity, when we do not trust ourselves, our inner processes and intuitive Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What stops me from connecting to my inner divinity? What if I opened to the perfection of life? What if I trusted to universal timing? Might plenty of down-time and rest actually support my reconnection with Source-energy or my intuitive Self?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>This New Moon aligns with Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>: this amplifies the message to be conscious of our intuitive/spiritual healing journey -- individually and collectively ;-) We are being invited to forgive our own \"humanness\" and open our hearts. Suppressing or denying our feelings and intuitive gifts is even less recommended now.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>There is no shame in feeling things, in being sensitive, in being imaginative and kind -- not just with the people we love but publicly as well. We are invited to shift our perspective about \"feelings\" and \"being sensitive\", from perceiving it as weakness, to allowing it to be our strength, our gift.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We are invited to embrace all of who we are (including our emotional body), if we are to fully function in this world -- and if we are to create a world that supports all living things equally.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>Chiron will be moving into <strong>Aries</strong> in April,</em> so as best as you can, think back over the last 7 years (while Chiron has been in <strong>Pisces</strong>); <strong>ask yourself:</strong> In what ways have I been able to heal my relationship to the divine? Am I more in touch with my own intuition now vs, then (2011)? What sensitivities or limitations have come up around the feeling-body? What still needs my love, understanding and compassion in those areas of my life?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>If we can shift our perspective from \"failure and blame\" to \"growth and learning\", we have an opportunity here to take a quantum leap forward in our individual and collective evolution. If a mere 5% of us went through a transformation, imagine what that would trigger for all.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Am I going to be one of the 5%? What might shift if I allowed myself to flow with the energetic stream rather than struggle against it? What might be possible if I gave my body and mind the opportunity to slow down, perhaps even get completely quiet at least 5 minutes every day?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Venus, Mercury and Uranus are all in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b>at the time of this New Moon. This brings another dimension to the New Moon chart: an action-oriented and direct approach that supports our inner courage.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Mercury is stationing</i>, preparing to go retrograde on <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1076589851\"><span class=\"aQJ\">March 22nd</span></span> (at 17 degrees of <b>Aries)</b>, and is thus exalted.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>This brings awareness to our day to day thinking, and how we process and share information; we are more impulsive and quick-minded, and may communicate from a place of passion and courage, or anger. We are also more aware of our own inner dialog and how assertive or aggressive it is.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Pay attention to what\'s \"in your face\" right now. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What\'s important to me? Where do I over-think? Where do I act (or react) without thinking? What are my physical and mental impulses telling me? What role does \"passion\" play in all of this?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We also covered this in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the Mercury Station and Retrograde is going to impact you personally, feel free to watch the mp4 video-presentation of our last Forum -- we applied what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/jupiters-optimism-mercurys-mental-dance-from-within/\">Here is an excerpt of the webinar. </a>For the full 90+ min. webinars <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>The Mercury Station and Retrograde</em> invites us to go beyond the conditioning of our mind, our stories, and our script, and to release what is no longer in alignment with our personal goals, our passions, our \"true\" Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What if I tapped into my inner courage?

Every day, every moment?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> squares the New Moon and Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>. This might create some restlessness and uneasiness in regards to our healing journey this month. We may feel we are falling behind, become impatient -- easily annoyed, or simply angry at not being where we\'d like to be. We may want to move faster than our emotional/intuitive body is asking us to go at this time -- individually and collectively speaking.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself here</strong>: Am I using my warrior energy to defend my belief systems and view about life, or to explore larger truths? Am I asserting myself so I can walk my own talk, or simply using my anger to dominate and separate myself further from others?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Is \"knowingness\" a way to make myself feel better about who I am (i.e. to feel superior), or a compass I can use to explore my life further? Are there any beliefs I hold dear that have limited my connection to Source/intuition? What might be possible if I applied a new approach and brought open-heartedness to those scripts?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We may feel triggered by others and may well trigger them. Some of that may feel connected to the past -- something in our history with someone else might be the trigger in question.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>When this happens, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> Is this somehow familiar? Is it possible it\'s historical? What does it remind me of? Am I attached to being \"right\" here? Could I welcome wanting approval, safety or control? What if opening my heart created space for all truths to co-exist side by side? No need for conflict, or right, or wrong... simply a space for all of it to be part of the larger sea of life. What might be possible if compassion were the warrior-energy of our heart?</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">Mars moves into Capricorn only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact and will be playing a major role for the rest of March and April.

I will be posting reminders on Saturday afternoon, Sunday throughout the day, and Monday morning to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nPart of the reason for this is that on<strong> Saturday at 9:12am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 5.5 hours, <strong>until 2:57pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to go within and meditate or pray/give thanks/converse with your higher Self.\r\n\r\nThis will support us in feeling connected to our inner Universe -- and of course, it will be a tremendous help in healing our emotional wounds. Finally, as always during VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday morning and afternoon ahead of time. <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon conjuncts Sun in <strong>Pisces</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<strong>Saturday at 12:40pm EDT,</strong> <i>Mars changes signs </i><i>from optimistic, adventurous</i><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> to realistic, prestige-and-accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until May 16th</strong>. For those 8.5 weeks, we tend to feel more determined, goal-oriented and focused. We are not afraid to work hard on attainable goals, so that we can see tangible results.\r\n\r\nOur drive to succeed is quite strong, especially when we feel a need for physical and material security — that is, in the realm of all that can be seen and held. Our self-control tends to be quite strong around the expression of \"drives\" -- things like anger, energy, ambition and sexuality -- in fact, with Mars in Capricorn we are at our least impulsive, with a powerful need to stay in control.\r\n\r\nBecause we have such a strong sense of responsibility, we need to be careful not to start using work to hide from others. Anger can easily get channelled into our work as well. As best as you can, be kind to yourself, remember we all do the best we can; there is no need for extra pressure.\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more focused and determent. You may want to get down to business. If you are a </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 8.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 2:57pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><b><i>,</i></b> where it will journey <b><strong>until Monday evening</strong></b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday after 2:57pm EDT, </b>it\'s time to start setting your Intentions of this Moon cycle.<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/TijxuK\">https://goo.gl/TijxuK</a><i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 18th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries </i>all day</b> (see Saturday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday night/Sunday very early morning</b> <i>Mercury starts its station-phase</i>. From<b> today on, </b>right through<b> March 29th.</b> <i>Mercury slows down tremendously</i><i>,</i> as it prepares to come to a halt before turning retrograde on March 22nd. During the station, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments during the retrograde -- or the shadow phase that follows.\r\n\r\nFor the next 12 days, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait until after May 3rd, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">14-19 degrees</span> of <strong>Aries</strong></i><b><i>, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday evening,</strong> <em>a Sun/Chiron alignment in 28 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:15pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Wednesday evening (March 21st). </strong>This gives us an opportunity to heal insecurities or shame through conscious awareness.\r\n\r\nBecoming aware of old wounds or limitations is the first step toward healing them. Bringing compassion, self-acceptance and love to it is the second. Together, steps one and two make for a beautiful healing experience.\r\n\r\nIt will help to stay grounded — connected to the Earth and your body. If waves of feeling come up, let them, simply observe the waves. Ask yourself: Am I the \"wave\" or am I more than that? As best as you can, allow all \"waves\" to wash ashore, and allow yourself to rest as the vastness that you are (just like the ocean is to the waves).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 25-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of <strong>Aries, Libra, Cancer</strong> or <strong>Capricorn</strong></i><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso, <b>Sunday all day: </b>If you haven\'t gotten around to it yet,<i> </i><i>set your Intentions</i> for this Moon cycle...

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 11:36am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 6:44pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan all of Monday afternoon and early evening ahead of time <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 6:44pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Thursday morning</strong><b>.</b> The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius </i>all day </b>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Venus/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 8:39am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. </strong>This aspect<b> </b>asks us to stretch and grow beyond how we\'ve known ourselves in our relationships up to this point -- a process of maturing that requires we adjust and stay flexible.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">On the one hand, we want to make new and passionate connections, while enthusiastically engaging with life. On the other hand, we feel a sharp need to focus on what we want to manifest long-term, what works, what doesn\'t, what are our resources to make it happen, how can we move from A to B without missing anything that\'s essential — to determine what\'s real and gives us the best foundation to move to the next step.</span> Do your best to make space for both of these urges.\r\n\r\nWe tend to be more cautious when it comes to relationships and finances now -- and in fact, this is not the best time to start a brand-new romantic relationship. Financially though, this aspect can be eye-opening; if we can find creative ways to deal with money, we will grow from it.\r\n\r\nThe key is to approach things in both realms with enthusiasm and maturity. Pushing will most likely not get us what we want: better to go one step at a time, slow and steady; that way, we can come back later with a stronger approach and more mature expectations.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><i> 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly.

What will lead us to this new vantage point?\r\n\r\nOptimism, an open mind, an open heart: Follow your enthusiasm as if it were a wilderness guide — and let yourself be creative and free, especially with or around other people.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 14th): <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b></strong><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Mars/Chiron aspect </em>becomes exact at 2:10am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Thursday night (March 8th) on; it will remain strong until next week Monday (March 19th). </strong>This aspect challenges us to see our own attachments and aversions as a normal, perhaps even valid, part of being human. That way, should we choose to express desire or anger (or even contempt or disgust), such expressions will feel natural and organic, rather than something that provokes shame.\r\n\r\nWe may experience situations that call forth our initiative and independence -- but may not feel confident that we can rise to the challenge, let alone follow through. As best as you can, when the challenge comes: Get into action, feel the excitement that comes with stepping out of the familiar. Ask yourself: What would my hero do?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 25-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or 0-1 degree of <strong>Capricorn, Aries, Cancer,</strong> or <strong>Libra</strong></i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\"> </b><i>will feel most affected by this aspect.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 15th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><strong> until 6:12am EDT</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 3:32am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 2.5 hours, <strong>until 6:12am EDT</strong>.

You may also want to plan Thursday early morning ahead of time <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon sextiles Mars in <strong>Sagittarius</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 6:12am EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><b><i>, </i></b>where it will journey <strong>until Saturday afternoon</strong>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.<b> </b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday: </strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday morning for details).</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Friday late morning,</b> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little.

It connects us to our spiritual journey, as it represents a reunion with Source/God/the Universe. When at its highest vibration, <b>Pisces </b>unifies all dualities -- it is completely aware of the oneness of all. It tells us there is a union within, that exists always, and we can tap into it.</div>\r\n<div><b> </b></div>\r\n<div><b>Pisces</b> is accepting and aware of its eternal nature. It lovingly allows all, because it knows that there is no real separation between things, that separation only exists in the mind.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>At it\'s lowest vibration however, <strong>Pisces</strong> feels separate, fearful, and victimized. It wants to escape the harsh physical realities of this world. We get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not go within to connect with our inner divinity, when we do not trust ourselves, our inner processes and intuitive Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What stops me from connecting to my inner divinity? What if I opened to the perfection of life? What if I trusted to universal timing? Might plenty of down-time and rest actually support my reconnection with Source-energy or my intuitive Self?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>This New Moon aligns with Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>: this amplifies the message to be conscious of our intuitive/spiritual healing journey -- individually and collectively ;-) We are being invited to forgive our own \"humanness\" and open our hearts. Suppressing or denying our feelings and intuitive gifts is even less recommended now.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>There is no shame in feeling things, in being sensitive, in being imaginative and kind -- not just with the people we love but publicly as well. We are invited to shift our perspective about \"feelings\" and \"being sensitive\", from perceiving it as weakness, to allowing it to be our strength, our gift.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We are invited to embrace all of who we are (including our emotional body), if we are to fully function in this world -- and if we are to create a world that supports all living things equally.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>Chiron will be moving into <strong>Aries</strong> in April,</em> so as best as you can, think back over the last 7 years (while Chiron has been in <strong>Pisces</strong>); <strong>ask yourself:</strong> In what ways have I been able to heal my relationship to the divine? Am I more in touch with my own intuition now vs, then (2011)? What sensitivities or limitations have come up around the feeling-body? What still needs my love, understanding and compassion in those areas of my life?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>If we can shift our perspective from \"failure and blame\" to \"growth and learning\", we have an opportunity here to take a quantum leap forward in our individual and collective evolution. If a mere 5% of us went through a transformation, imagine what that would trigger for all.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Am I going to be one of the 5%? What might shift if I allowed myself to flow with the energetic stream rather than struggle against it? What might be possible if I gave my body and mind the opportunity to slow down, perhaps even get completely quiet at least 5 minutes every day?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Venus, Mercury and Uranus are all in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b>at the time of this New Moon. This brings another dimension to the New Moon chart: an action-oriented and direct approach that supports our inner courage.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Mercury is stationing</i>, preparing to go retrograde on <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1076589851\"><span class=\"aQJ\">March 22nd</span></span> (at 17 degrees of <b>Aries)</b>, and is thus exalted.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>This brings awareness to our day to day thinking, and how we process and share information; we are more impulsive and quick-minded, and may communicate from a place of passion and courage, or anger. We are also more aware of our own inner dialog and how assertive or aggressive it is.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Pay attention to what\'s \"in your face\" right now. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What\'s important to me? Where do I over-think? Where do I act (or react) without thinking? What are my physical and mental impulses telling me? What role does \"passion\" play in all of this?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We also covered this in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the Mercury Station and Retrograde is going to impact you personally, feel free to watch the mp4 video-presentation of our last Forum -- we applied what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/jupiters-optimism-mercurys-mental-dance-from-within/\">Here is an excerpt of the webinar. </a>For the full 90+ min. webinars <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>The Mercury Station and Retrograde</em> invites us to go beyond the conditioning of our mind, our stories, and our script, and to release what is no longer in alignment with our personal goals, our passions, our \"true\" Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What if I tapped into my inner courage? What if I communicated honestly, was fearless, was without apologies? What if I gave myself permission to start fresh? Every day, every moment?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> squares the New Moon and Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>. This might create some restlessness and uneasiness in regards to our healing journey this month. We may feel we are falling behind, become impatient -- easily annoyed, or simply angry at not being where we\'d like to be. We may want to move faster than our emotional/intuitive body is asking us to go at this time -- individually and collectively speaking.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself here</strong>: Am I using my warrior energy to defend my belief systems and view about life, or to explore larger truths? Am I asserting myself so I can walk my own talk, or simply using my anger to dominate and separate myself further from others?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Is \"knowingness\" a way to make myself feel better about who I am (i.e. to feel superior), or a compass I can use to explore my life further? Are there any beliefs I hold dear that have limited my connection to Source/intuition? What might be possible if I applied a new approach and brought open-heartedness to those scripts?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We may feel triggered by others and may well trigger them. Some of that may feel connected to the past -- something in our history with someone else might be the trigger in question.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>When this happens, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> Is this somehow familiar? Is it possible it\'s historical? What does it remind me of? Am I attached to being \"right\" here? Could I welcome wanting approval, safety or control? What if opening my heart created space for all truths to co-exist side by side? No need for conflict, or right, or wrong... simply a space for all of it to be part of the larger sea of life. What might be possible if compassion were the warrior-energy of our heart?</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">Mars moves into Capricorn only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact and will be playing a major role for the rest of March and April.

Allow for all feelings to flow; allow for yourself to be with what is.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Tap into the divinity within through any, some, or all of the following: meditation; being in nature; music; dance; energy healing; dream work; creative writing; art; being with your intuition. In the silence we feel the oneness with all there is, we feel the unconditional love the Universe provides.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Since 2011, when Neptune and Chiron moved into <b>Pisces</b>, we have been becoming more and more aware that we are<b> One. </b>Everything is energy, everything is connected and everything is in a continuous flow/movement. Each of us is like a drop of water, appearing to be individual, yet also a part of the big ocean of life. We are the sum of all parts: physical, spiritual, emotional, mental… and <i>all</i> that exists is part of the whole.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Take 5 minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, to get quiet and be with yourself (your intuitive/feeling Self). What might become possible if you gave this to your body and mind on a regular basis?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What might a healthy connection with the energetic world feel like? What if I were 5% more interested in my inner world? What if I simply embraced whatever I discovered there?

We trust our inner senses. This is something we need to relearn; we are so conditioned to focus on the outside world for answers, to look to our mind-chatter for answers, or to close off and protect ourselves. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What results might I get if I tapped into inner courage, inner sensing/intuition, and the power of compassion... all at the same time?</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><span class=\"im\">Again, feel free to also watch my New Moon video on the subject: <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">youtube.//...</span></span></div>\r\n<div>\r\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\r\n<div class=\"gmail_default\">\r\n<div class=\"yj6qo ajU\">\r\n<div id=\":7xx\" class=\"ajR\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Hide expanded content\" data-tooltip=\"Hide expanded content\"><img class=\"ajT\" src=\"https://ssl.gstatic.com/ui/v1/icons/mail/images/cleardot.gif\" /></div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div class=\"adL\">\r\n<div><i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in one of the following placements: 25-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>?

Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <strong><i>not</i> </strong>during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions</i> would be <b>between 2:47pm EDT today (March 17th) and 9:11am EDT Monday morning (March 19th).</b>\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EDT (US East Coast-time), feel free to join my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a>: <span style=\"color: #993300;\">www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis</span> <i>or</i> follow me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">twitter</a>: <span style=\"color: #993300;\">www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis</span>. I will be posting reminders on Saturday afternoon, Sunday throughout the day, and Monday morning to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nPart of the reason for this is that on<strong> Saturday at 9:12am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 5.5 hours, <strong>until 2:57pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to go within and meditate or pray/give thanks/converse with your higher Self.\r\n\r\nThis will support us in feeling connected to our inner Universe -- and of course, it will be a tremendous help in healing our emotional wounds. Finally, as always during VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday morning and afternoon ahead of time. <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon conjuncts Sun in <strong>Pisces</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<strong>Saturday at 12:40pm EDT,</strong> <i>Mars changes signs </i><i>from optimistic, adventurous</i><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> to realistic, prestige-and-accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until May 16th</strong>. For those 8.5 weeks, we tend to feel more determined, goal-oriented and focused. We are not afraid to work hard on attainable goals, so that we can see tangible results.\r\n\r\nOur drive to succeed is quite strong, especially when we feel a need for physical and material security — that is, in the realm of all that can be seen and held. Our self-control tends to be quite strong around the expression of \"drives\" -- things like anger, energy, ambition and sexuality -- in fact, with Mars in Capricorn we are at our least impulsive, with a powerful need to stay in control.\r\n\r\nBecause we have such a strong sense of responsibility, we need to be careful not to start using work to hide from others. Anger can easily get channelled into our work as well. As best as you can, be kind to yourself, remember we all do the best we can; there is no need for extra pressure.\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more focused and determent. You may want to get down to business. If you are a </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 8.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 2:57pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><b><i>,</i></b> where it will journey <b><strong>until Monday evening</strong></b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday after 2:57pm EDT, </b>it\'s time to start setting your Intentions of this Moon cycle.<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/TijxuK\">https://goo.gl/TijxuK</a><i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 18th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries </i>all day</b> (see Saturday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday night/Sunday very early morning</b> <i>Mercury starts its station-phase</i>. From<b> today on, </b>right through<b> March 29th.</b> <i>Mercury slows down tremendously</i><i>,</i> as it prepares to come to a halt before turning retrograde on March 22nd. During the station, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments during the retrograde -- or the shadow phase that follows.\r\n\r\nFor the next 12 days, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait until after May 3rd, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">14-19 degrees</span> of <strong>Aries</strong></i><b><i>, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday evening,</strong> <em>a Sun/Chiron alignment in 28 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:15pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Wednesday evening (March 21st). </strong>This gives us an opportunity to heal insecurities or shame through conscious awareness.\r\n\r\nBecoming aware of old wounds or limitations is the first step toward healing them. Bringing compassion, self-acceptance and love to it is the second. Together, steps one and two make for a beautiful healing experience.\r\n\r\nIt will help to stay grounded — connected to the Earth and your body. If waves of feeling come up, let them, simply observe the waves. Ask yourself: Am I the \"wave\" or am I more than that? As best as you can, allow all \"waves\" to wash ashore, and allow yourself to rest as the vastness that you are (just like the ocean is to the waves).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 25-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of <strong>Aries, Libra, Cancer</strong> or <strong>Capricorn</strong></i><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso, <b>Sunday all day: </b>If you haven\'t gotten around to it yet,<i> </i><i>set your Intentions</i> for this Moon cycle...

Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 11:36am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 6:44pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius </i>all day </b>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Venus/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 8:39am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. </strong>This aspect<b> </b>asks us to stretch and grow beyond how we\'ve known ourselves in our relationships up to this point -- a process of maturing that requires we adjust and stay flexible.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">On the one hand, we want to make new and passionate connections, while enthusiastically engaging with life. On the other hand, we feel a sharp need to focus on what we want to manifest long-term, what works, what doesn\'t, what are our resources to make it happen, how can we move from A to B without missing anything that\'s essential — to determine what\'s real and gives us the best foundation to move to the next step.</span> Do your best to make space for both of these urges.\r\n\r\nWe tend to be more cautious when it comes to relationships and finances now -- and in fact, this is not the best time to start a brand-new romantic relationship. Financially though, this aspect can be eye-opening; if we can find creative ways to deal with money, we will grow from it.\r\n\r\nThe key is to approach things in both realms with enthusiasm and maturity. Pushing will most likely not get us what we want: better to go one step at a time, slow and steady; that way, we can come back later with a stronger approach and more mature expectations.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><i> 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

What will lead us to this new vantage point?\r\n\r\nOptimism, an open mind, an open heart: Follow your enthusiasm as if it were a wilderness guide — and let yourself be creative and free, especially with or around other people.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

That way, should we choose to express desire or anger (or even contempt or disgust), such expressions will feel natural and organic, rather than something that provokes shame.\r\n\r\nWe may experience situations that call forth our initiative and independence -- but may not feel confident that we can rise to the challenge, let alone follow through. As best as you can, when the challenge comes: Get into action, feel the excitement that comes with stepping out of the familiar.

A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\".

It connects us to our spiritual journey, as it represents a reunion with Source/God/the Universe. When at its highest vibration, <b>Pisces </b>unifies all dualities -- it is completely aware of the oneness of all. It tells us there is a union within, that exists always, and we can tap into it.</div>\r\n<div><b> </b></div>\r\n<div><b>Pisces</b> is accepting and aware of its eternal nature. It lovingly allows all, because it knows that there is no real separation between things, that separation only exists in the mind.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>At it\'s lowest vibration however, <strong>Pisces</strong> feels separate, fearful, and victimized. It wants to escape the harsh physical realities of this world. We get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not go within to connect with our inner divinity, when we do not trust ourselves, our inner processes and intuitive Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What stops me from connecting to my inner divinity? What if I opened to the perfection of life? What if I trusted to universal timing? Might plenty of down-time and rest actually support my reconnection with Source-energy or my intuitive Self?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>This New Moon aligns with Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>: this amplifies the message to be conscious of our intuitive/spiritual healing journey -- individually and collectively ;-) We are being invited to forgive our own \"humanness\" and open our hearts. Suppressing or denying our feelings and intuitive gifts is even less recommended now.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>There is no shame in feeling things, in being sensitive, in being imaginative and kind -- not just with the people we love but publicly as well. We are invited to shift our perspective about \"feelings\" and \"being sensitive\", from perceiving it as weakness, to allowing it to be our strength, our gift.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We are invited to embrace all of who we are (including our emotional body), if we are to fully function in this world -- and if we are to create a world that supports all living things equally.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>Chiron will be moving into <strong>Aries</strong> in April,</em> so as best as you can, think back over the last 7 years (while Chiron has been in <strong>Pisces</strong>); <strong>ask yourself:</strong> In what ways have I been able to heal my relationship to the divine? Am I more in touch with my own intuition now vs, then (2011)? What sensitivities or limitations have come up around the feeling-body? What still needs my love, understanding and compassion in those areas of my life?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>If we can shift our perspective from \"failure and blame\" to \"growth and learning\", we have an opportunity here to take a quantum leap forward in our individual and collective evolution. If a mere 5% of us went through a transformation, imagine what that would trigger for all.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Am I going to be one of the 5%? What might shift if I allowed myself to flow with the energetic stream rather than struggle against it? What might be possible if I gave my body and mind the opportunity to slow down, perhaps even get completely quiet at least 5 minutes every day?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Venus, Mercury and Uranus are all in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b>at the time of this New Moon. This brings another dimension to the New Moon chart: an action-oriented and direct approach that supports our inner courage.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Mercury is stationing</i>, preparing to go retrograde on <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1076589851\"><span class=\"aQJ\">March 22nd</span></span> (at 17 degrees of <b>Aries)</b>, and is thus exalted.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>This brings awareness to our day to day thinking, and how we process and share information; we are more impulsive and quick-minded, and may communicate from a place of passion and courage, or anger. We are also more aware of our own inner dialog and how assertive or aggressive it is.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Pay attention to what\'s \"in your face\" right now. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What\'s important to me? Where do I over-think? Where do I act (or react) without thinking? What are my physical and mental impulses telling me?

We may want to move faster than our emotional/intuitive body is asking us to go at this time -- individually and collectively speaking.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself here</strong>: Am I using my warrior energy to defend my belief systems and view about life, or to explore larger truths? Am I asserting myself so I can walk my own talk, or simply using my anger to dominate and separate myself further from others?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Is \"knowingness\" a way to make myself feel better about who I am (i.e. to feel superior), or a compass I can use to explore my life further? Are there any beliefs I hold dear that have limited my connection to Source/intuition? What might be possible if I applied a new approach and brought open-heartedness to those scripts?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We may feel triggered by others and may well trigger them. Some of that may feel connected to the past -- something in our history with someone else might be the trigger in question.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>When this happens, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> Is this somehow familiar? Is it possible it\'s historical? What does it remind me of? Am I attached to being \"right\" here? Could I welcome wanting approval, safety or control? What if opening my heart created space for all truths to co-exist side by side? No need for conflict, or right, or wrong... simply a space for all of it to be part of the larger sea of life. What might be possible if compassion were the warrior-energy of our heart?</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">Mars moves into Capricorn only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact and will be playing a major role for the rest of March and April.

For those 8.5 weeks, we tend to feel more determined, goal-oriented and focused. We are not afraid to work hard on attainable goals, so that we can see tangible results.\r\n\r\nOur drive to succeed is quite strong, especially when we feel a need for physical and material security — that is, in the realm of all that can be seen and held. Our self-control tends to be quite strong around the expression of \"drives\" -- things like anger, energy, ambition and sexuality -- in fact, with Mars in Capricorn we are at our least impulsive, with a powerful need to stay in control.\r\n\r\nBecause we have such a strong sense of responsibility, we need to be careful not to start using work to hide from others. Anger can easily get channelled into our work as well. As best as you can, be kind to yourself, remember we all do the best we can; there is no need for extra pressure.\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more focused and determent. You may want to get down to business. If you are a </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 8.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 2:57pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><b><i>,</i></b> where it will journey <b><strong>until Monday evening</strong></b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday after 2:57pm EDT, </b>it\'s time to start setting your Intentions of this Moon cycle.<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/TijxuK\">https://goo.gl/TijxuK</a><i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 18th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries </i>all day</b> (see Saturday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday night/Sunday very early morning</b> <i>Mercury starts its station-phase</i>.

During the station, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments during the retrograde -- or the shadow phase that follows.\r\n\r\nFor the next 12 days, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait until after May 3rd, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">14-19 degrees</span> of <strong>Aries</strong></i><b><i>, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday evening,</strong> <em>a Sun/Chiron alignment in 28 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:15pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Wednesday evening (March 21st). </strong>This gives us an opportunity to heal insecurities or shame through conscious awareness.\r\n\r\nBecoming aware of old wounds or limitations is the first step toward healing them. Bringing compassion, self-acceptance and love to it is the second. Together, steps one and two make for a beautiful healing experience.\r\n\r\nIt will help to stay grounded — connected to the Earth and your body. If waves of feeling come up, let them, simply observe the waves. Ask yourself: Am I the \"wave\" or am I more than that? As best as you can, allow all \"waves\" to wash ashore, and allow yourself to rest as the vastness that you are (just like the ocean is to the waves).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 25-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of <strong>Aries, Libra, Cancer</strong> or <strong>Capricorn</strong></i><i>?

Mercury follows suit, beginning its own Station phase on Tuesday, that in turn intensifies on Friday (it will come to a complete halt -- ending it\'s retrograde phase -- on Sunday morning).\r\n\r\nIn other news, the Balsamic Moon phase becomes exact on Thursday evening, and the New Moon in Aries becomes exact on Sunday, late in the evening.\r\n\r\nAnd of course, the week wouldn\'t be complete without some <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases -- though there are only two this week: the first on Wednesday, late in the morning (it lasts for almost 4 hours) and a longer one that starts Friday morning and runs for almost 16 hours.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (April 9th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><strong>Capricorn</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 2:50am EDT. </strong><strong>At that point</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <b><strong>until Wednesday afternoon</strong>. </b>The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Monday</strong>, <b> </b><i>Saturn slows down (stations) in 9 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i> <i>\"Stationing\" is when a planet </i>moves more slowly through the sky. When a planet stations, its energy becomes...\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\r\n<strong> GET IT ALL!

Saturn also represents our structures, responsibilities, commitments and ability to \"do\" life, on life\'s terms.\r\n\r\nAs spirit beings in a physical world, it\'s best to observe the laws of the physical world. The sooner we learn to \"play by the rules\", the easier life gets. Saturn also represents time and the \"domain\" of time: growing up, maturing, understanding our limitations, setting healthy boundaries with others, living with integrity, being authentic and truthful, being serious and focused on building something of value to society.\r\n\r\nSaturn is our teacher. If you had a cosmic teacher, what would your personal \"earth class\" be in, right now? Where are you being asked to look at your long-term goals and ambitons and became more mature? What calls for a commitment towards building a solid foundation? What will time do?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during the time of the station, bring flexibility and open-mindedness to any frustrations. The station-phase will last <b>until April 24th</b> -- and Saturn will start its 5-month retrograde phase, next week Tuesday, on April 17th…\r\n\r\nFeel free to watch our mp4 video presentation about April\'s Saturn and Pluto Station and Retrograde phases in relationship to our own Birth charts...To purchase this webinar, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">click here. </a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Special Offer:</strong> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-) <b>Please note </b>that we will be talking about Chiron moving into Aries and Uranus moving into Taurus, in our next Forum. Major shifts ahead!\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in </i><b><i>7-11 degrees of  Capricorn, Cancer, Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this station. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>, since Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (April 10th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <strong>all day</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday night/</strong>Wednesday very early morning, <em>a challenging Sun/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:54am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening (April 7th) on; it will remain strong until this Friday night (April 13th)</strong>. What we identify ourselves with could now be challenged. This aspect forces us to confront our will, power, assertion, and authority.\r\n\r\nComing into focus now: the relationship with a father- or other important male-figures. We may face the need to be more independent, assertive, and autonomous.\r\n\r\nWe may alienate others with a controlling, jealous, or overbearing manner. This manner stems from a deep fear of letting go and surrendering to the idea that some things cannot be directed or controlled. We are learning to detach from (let go of) something or someone that no longer serves us -- the \"something\" could include attitudes.\r\n\r\nThis fear may lead us to compulsive, suspicious, or difficult behavior, costing us the very thing that we hold dear. As best as you can, open yourself up to the power of love within. When you do, you will discover your own strength, and rework your very identity. Perhaps most importantly, this aspect puts us face to face with <i>exactly</i> what\'s been holding us back from leading a fuller, more meaningful life.\r\n\r\nWe may have to make some changes or adjustments between our immediate personal desires and our long-term goals. As best as you can, be open to receiving feedback from others during this time.\r\n\r\nIf you feel pressured into doing something or you feel a power struggle build, as best as you can, get centered, get grounded and open your heart and mind. This aspect is a major growth opportunity for us: we struggle with buried elements of our personality and ego, learning to face, accept and transform them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra,  </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (the Sun is the ruler of Leo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso <strong>on Tuesday</strong>, <i>Mercury starts to slow down again (“stationing”).</i><i> </i>It’s getting ready to come to a halt, ending its 3.5-week retrograde phase, on Sunday, April 15th (more on that later this week…). For the next 10 days (<strong>until April 20th</strong><b>)</b>, we need to be patient with ourselves and others -- especially if there is a connection with communication or transportation, and their associated technologies. This is not the best time to start anything brand-new, especially if it contains new information that needs to be processed.\r\n\r\nWe might experience delays or misunderstandings, and things tend to feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time to get ready for travel somewhere -- especially if you intend to use public transportation or drive (For more details on Mercury Shadow Phases and Retrogrades, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">click here</a>)\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets (or angles) <em>in 4-6 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong>, <b>Libra</b>, </em></i><b><i>Capricorn, </i></b><i>or</i><i> </i><b><i>Cancer.</i></b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (April 11th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <strong>until 2:40pm EDT</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:03am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Friday evening (April 6th) on; it will remain strong until this Sunday.</strong> We tend to feel passionate, super-creative, and just plain energized at this time -- we have tons of vitality and warmth.\r\n\r\nThis helps us bring people together for mutual pleasure and benefit; there is also a feeling of flow around creativity and manifesting something real... If you knew it would be easy, what would you pick to create?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of <b>Taurus,</b></i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?</i><i> If so, you may feel more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars rules Aries) </i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday morning</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Sun/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 8:15am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday night</strong>. This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed if we’re to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\nThis aspect brings us to a fork in the road: One path takes us toward personal goals and helps us inspire others by being direct and enthusiastic. The other leads to greater understanding of intimacy, and of how we share our resources with others.\r\n\r\nThere\'s not necessarily a \"correct path\", as both can lead to a deeper exploration of the themes in question. Whichever one you decide to walk, go deeper rather than faster -- empower yourself and others by connecting in an authentic way, being honest about your motivations.\r\n\r\nOne more thing: as best as you can, carefully evaluate any projects before getting involved -- awareness is key with this aspect. Ask yourself: What is needed? How can we serve the broader view?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 22-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules of Leo; Jupiter rules Sagittarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 10:55am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 4 hours, <strong>until 2:40pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday late morning and early afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 2:40pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces, </i></b>where it will journey <strong>until Friday late evening</strong>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (April 12th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <strong>all day</strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:26pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday night</strong>. This is an opportunity for compassion and kindness in our social interactions. We are more attuned to the subtleties of human interaction, and are more inclined to naturally cooperate with others. We tend to \"feel\" each other on an energetic level now; a sensitive approach is recommended.\r\n\r\nWe also have an opportunity to connect to our values and gifts from intuition, and use our imagination to attract what we want: When you daydream, what would you like to experience? How would it feel?\r\n\r\nRemember: opportunities are openings; they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 13-17 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune rules Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday evening,</strong> <em>the Balsamic Moon phase begins</em> -- when the Moon reaches 11 degrees of <strong>Pisces.</strong><i> </i>This lasts <b>until Sunday late evening</b>, when the New Moon in <b>Aries </b>becomes exact (for those of you who are impatiently waiting for my New Moon video, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here</a> after April 10th). We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our intuition.\r\n\r\nFor some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes. This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (April 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <strong>until 11:25pm EDT</strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 7:27am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 16 hours, <strong>until 11:25pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to explore any beliefs connected to past experiences that left you feeling disempowered: How could a compassionate approach to the past allow for a new perspective?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday all day and evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 11:25pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries,</i></b> where it will journey <strong>until Monday very early morning (April 16th)</strong>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<b> </b>\r\n\r\nAlso<strong> on Friday, </strong><em>Mercury Station intensifies in almost 5 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> -- as Mercury is preparing to come to halt on Sunday (ending its 3.5-week retrograde phase). During the station phase, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments once Mercury is moving direct again (to be more precise, during the shadow phase that follows).\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned on Tuesday already,<strong> for the next 6 days</strong>, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait <strong>until after May 3rd</strong>, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 3-6 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (April 14th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b>Aries</b></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Friday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday early morning</strong>, <em>a long-term, opportune Jupiter/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:58am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday (March 19th) on; it will remain strong until Tuesday (May 1st)</strong>. This is second time this year we will experience this aspect -- think back to January, when it last occurred: In what ways were you able to deepen your relationships, business and personal alike?\r\n\r\nA positive attitude and deeper trust in our connections with others gives us the chance to build something meaningful and share our passions. We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support professional or personal goals.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Where could I really dig in to solve a problem? How might passion help deliver on my long-term goals? How could other people\'s resources support my ability to create transformation? How might they help me stand in my power?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>?

This is also an opportunity for boundaries to dissolve -- to open and relax.\r\n\r\nCreative or spiritual activities might be a good fit with this planetary connection. We may feel the need to daydream or inspire others. What might it mean, to take \"inspired action\"? What might show up in the world? What if you allowed the Universe to co-create with you?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <span style=\"color: #808080;\">13-17 degrees</span> of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Pisces,  Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>?

What will time do?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during the time of the station, bring flexibility and open-mindedness to any frustrations. The station-phase will feel most intense until <b>until April 20th, </b>but altogether, it will run <b>until April 24th</b> -- and Saturn will start its 5-month retrograde phase, next week Tuesday (<b>on April 17th)</b>… more on that next week ;-)\r\n\r\nFeel free to watch our mp4 video presentation about April\'s Saturn and Pluto Station and Retrograde phases in relationship to our own Birth charts...To purchase this webinar, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">click here. </a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Special Offer:</strong> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-) <b>Please note </b>that we will be talking about Chiron moving into Aries and Uranus moving into Taurus, in our next Forum.

If so, you will be more affected by this station. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>, since Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (April 15th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b>Aries</b></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Friday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 5:21am EDT</strong>, <i>Mercury comes to a halt in almost 5 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries </i></b>and <i>slowly starts its direct motion</i><i>, </i>after its 3.5-week retrograde phase<i>.</i> As best as you can, go with the flow, keep an open mind and pay attention to anything that is in your face right now -- you may need to address those issues again, when Mercury moves through its shadow phase…more on that later.\r\n\r\nWe are slowly ready to shift our focus back towards the outer world again, taking in new information and sharing from a new perspective. What did you learn about your inner dialog over the past 3 weeks? How can you share your newly found inner understanding in a healthy way with the world? What needs to be addressed regarding your personal goals and desires? With a direct and passionate way of approaching communications? With any new-found understanding of your own thinking structures?\r\n\r\nWhen Mercury gets back to its regular speed (<b>by April 20th</b>), communication and transportation will get back to normal; the same is true of any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets (or angles) in 3-6 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Libra.</i></b>\r\n\r\nAs you may recall, I mentioned <i>Mercury shadow phases</i> on Tuesday: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it\'s best to avoid the periods shortly before and after Mercury goes retrograde. This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) This particular <b>shadow phase ends on May 3rd</b>. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">Click here to read my blog on the subject</a>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening, at 9:57pm EDT:</strong> the <em>Moon aligns with the Sun in 26 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em>. This is the beginning of a new Moon cycle; anything brand-new started in the next two weeks has the chance to get off to a great start. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">Also feel free to watch my New Moon video on the subject</a> (will be posted by April 10th)\r\n\r\nThe <i>New Moon in fast-paced, enthusiastic, courageous </i><b><i>Aries</i></b>, asks us to connect to our personal goals and to get very clear on what we want to create for the next 28 days. This is an action-packed energy, with the focus on ourselves -- we tend to do first and think later -- we have a tremendous amount of energy and want to sprint.\r\n\r\nAries is the first sign of the zodiac, and thus represents new beginnings, initiation, breaking new ground and birthing new forms. An <em>Aries New Moon</em> is thus an especially fertile time for seeding new projects and directions.\r\n\r\nWe generally don\'t know what will happen when we start something brand-new -- something we have never done before -- and this can bring up insecurities or nervousness, sometimes maybe even plain fear or even panic.\r\n\r\nAries and its ruling planet Mars correspond with the quest to develop courage -- not fearlessness, but the conscious choice to act in spite of fear. Some call this the \"Warrior Energy\".\r\n\r\nOne of the many ways we can demonstrate courage is to allow ourselves to be in a state of \"not knowing\" or \"beginners mind\". At these times, we are more present, and sometimes a state of heightened creative potential arises. <b>Ask yourself: </b>What might come forth if I suspended my opinions, beliefs, judgments and concepts, just for a moment, here and there? Could I be brave enough to take a rest from needing to know, just for right now?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars is the ruler of Aries; it\'s currently in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, sextiling Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>.</i> This aspect asks us to create a solid relationship with our long-term ambitions, while allowing for our inner divinity (Source/God) to guide us toward what feels intuitively right to us, so we can go after it, and manifest it.\r\n\r\nIt also bears a cosmic message about relating to our long-term goals in a loving, kind manner -- softening our approach perhaps, releasing rigid \"shoulds\" and any obligations not aligned with our highest calling.\r\n\r\nIn the same spirit, we are also asked to slow down and focus on quality over quantity, sustainability over novelty, ease over force. <b>Questions you can ask yourself here:</b> What structures might support my emotional/intuitive well-being? What actions would connect my ambitious self to my \"soul-self\"?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars also aligns with Pluto and Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>. This combo brings our long-term business dealings into deep and sharp focus, especially when it comes to manifesting something real (tangible, sustainable, meaningful, etc.)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nFurther, anything dysfunctional within our businesses, governments or long-term goals invites investigation. We are being asked to eliminate or transform anything no longer aligned with our Soul’s passions. This is for our highest good -- individually and collectively.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I felt fully empowered from within and felt absolutely passionate about life, what would I go about “building”? What would be truly meaningful to my Soul in the long run?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon aligns with Uranus in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> -- </i><i>and this is also part of a square with Pluto and Mars in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>. This underlines the message that we are ready to take the next big step on our path. Uranus symbolizes the desire for freedom, equality, and (most of all) progress.\r\n\r\nIt takes courage to leave familiar territory.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span><b>Ask yourself:</b> What is the next step on my journey toward becoming an ever-stronger, healthy individual, one who knows themselves, and is not afraid to go after their personal goals and desires? What if it were possible to accomplish that whilst staying focused on my long-term achievements?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> What might that look like?</span>\r\n\r\n<i>This alignment between Uranus and the New Moon</i> asks us to break away from anything keeping us from stepping up our game -- whatever keeps us in a rut.\r\n\r\nShifts are happening everywhere. It\'s time to develop some courage and awareness. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Where do I want to step up? Where do I want to break out? If I made a big leap, where would I most like to land? Could I surprise myself once a day, for the next 28 days?\r\n\r\n<i>Pluto is also stationing -- </i>and thus exalted -- bringing extra intensity to this process. Pluto shows us where we give our power away to others and where we abuse it ourselves. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What structures no longer empower me? What am I most aware of right now? If I\'m honest, what will almost inevitably break down over the long haul, simply because it is no longer sustainable?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury has been retrograde for the past three weeks, </i>guiding us to reevaluate our thinking about personal goals and how we want to move things forward. Mercury\'s retrograde directed us to deal with unfinished business around past or present dealings, <i>to acknowledge what we learned, be thankful for the growth we experienced, and move forward.</i>\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> is all about “Beginner’s Mind” -- open, eager, willing to be surprised. The fewer preconceptions we have, the more possibilities we see, the path widens as we walk it. This placement also reminds us that communication starts within our own minds -- our inner dialog is the seed for all outer communication.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury will be moving direct on the day of the New Moon</i>, giving the green light to anything that was in a holding pattern for the past 3-6 weeks. That said, anything developed from scratch (or that first came to light) during the retrograde phase is best left on \"pause\", until the shadow phase ends on May 3rd.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe are also cautioned not to be hasty, as <i>Mercury still squares Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>; the message here is \"take it steady\". <b>Ask yourself:</b> What benefits might I reap from taking it one step at a time? From not rushing things?\r\n\r\nWe\'ll be dealing with a lot of Stations this month: Mercury, Saturn, Pluto. Keep in mind that these station phases create awareness. When preparing to go retrograde, they in turn prepare us to gain inner clarity and connect to the energies from within (i.e., more intuitively). In this case, that would apply to Saturn and Pluto.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, when going direct, after a retrograde phase, a station prepares us to move forward (in this instance, that applies to Mercury).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>On April 17th,</strong> <em>Saturn goes into its yearly retrograde, this time at 9º <strong>Capricorn.</strong></em> It will turn direct on Sept. 6th at 2.5º, and get back to that starting point of 9º Capricorn on December 12th.\r\n\r\nSaturn in Capricorn exposes the consequences of our long-term ambitions.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>Saturn always calls us to become our own authority, our own judge of what is right, true, and useful long-term. This can be very different from what society, other authority figures, or our country tells us.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWhile I\'m on the subject: the Saturn and Pluto Retrogrades were covered in considerable detail in the last Monthly Forecasting Forum -- and if you want to know how this planetary movement might impact you personally, feel free to purchase the video of the last webinar -- we applied the Pluto and Saturn Retrograde phases to our own birth charts! <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">Click here for more info or to purchase the recording</a>\r\n\r\nThere is also a <b>Special</b> <strong>Offer</strong> linked to that recording<b>:</b> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for the next Forum</a> <b>by April 17th</b>, I will include that Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar for FREE ;-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<em>During the upcoming Retrograde phases,</em> it may be advisable for us to keep the focus more on ourselves, and check in frequently with our inner compass. We also get a chance to see what works (and what doesn\'t) in certain areas of our lives; we can take stock, and look to see what needs a do-over (or at least a reassessment).\r\n\r\nLast but not least, we have <i>Chiron in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> -- this is the last degree of the sign and the aspect is  therefore exalted. We are approaching the end of 7 years of Chiron in Pisces!\r\n\r\nThink back over those last 7 years and <strong>ask yourself:</strong> What have I learned about my relationship to my higher Self/intuition? What have I learned about the emotional body? About the energetic body? What do I know about my inner healing process that I didn\'t know before 2011?\r\n\r\n<i>Chiron will move into </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> </i><b>on April 17th</b> -- the same day that Saturn comes to a halt -- and will remain in this enthusiastic sign until the end of September.\r\n\r\nWe will go over this upcoming shift in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how Chiron\'s journey through Aries, (and Uranus\'s journey through Taurus) will impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. The next Forum will be on <b>Monday, April 30th</b> at 3pm EDT/8pm BST (London-time); <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">for more info or to register, click here</a>\r\n\r\n<b>And of course, there\'s that Special Offer, I mentioned already:</b> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> <b>by April 17th</b>, you will also get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs a reminder to <strong>Star </strong>or<strong> SuperStar members:</strong> you will be automatically signed up for the Forum and will receive a link via email to join the live webinar and also for the video presentation. Watch out for those emails (and check your junk mail, if you don\'t see it in your inbox ;-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAlright, let\'s turn our attention back to this <i>New Moon: </i> we are being helped to go beyond the familiar, the comfortable, the customary. Here are some more questions you can <b>ask yourself for the next two to four weeks:</b> What is my vision? What do I want to create now? What needs to change to make this happen?\r\n\r\nThe highest expression of the <b>Aries</b> energy is expressed when we lead others by example and inspiration -- they follow because they see our courage, our enthusiasm for life, and they want to be a part of that. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What if I dared to lead responsibly and with integrity? What if I were the one who inspires others and makes a difference? What is the smallest difference I could make? What is the largest?\r\n\r\nDo your best to tap into the very core of your being — your vision, your purpose — and don\'t be fooled: it is an essential part of the collective journey. Be an agent of change! Have the courage to step up and step out!\r\nTo quote the great jewish scholar, Hillel: “If not you, then who? If not now, when?”\r\n\r\n<b>Some bonus questions you can ask yourself for the next 2 weeks:</b> What do I see that needs changing? What do I feel most passionate about? Where do I need to take a stand? What if I approached things with 5% more maturity? What is the outcome that serves long-term? <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> As best as you can, commit to something larger than yourself. Listen to your inner voice and bring your passionate Self to the world. Remember that each of us makes this journey in our own way, in our own time, so focus on yourself -- <em>your</em> path, <em>your</em> truth -- rather than on what lies beyond your control.\r\n\r\nSpring is an excellent time to do a cleanse on all levels.<b> Ask yourself:</b> What changes have already been in the back of my mind for months now? What first step looks inviting?\r\n\r\nRemember, the ultimate goal of this New Moon is to tap into our inner warrior — a mature warrior that generates and protects, rather than the shadow warrior who exploits and destroys -- who is courageous, rather than combative, assertive rather than aggressive.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">To learn more about this month\'s New Moon, please click here to watch my video. </a>(will be posted by April 10th)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 24-28 degrees of either </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>?

Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <i>not</i> during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase.\r\n\r\nSo this month, we have two periods that are great<i> times to set intentions:</i> the first one is the roughly four hours that lie between <b>9:57pm Sunday late evening (April 15th) </b>and<b> 1:59am Monday very early morning (April 16th).</b>\r\n\r\nIf you aren’t able to set intentions during that time period, wait a few hours, and do so between <b>4:51am on Monday and 6:05pm EDT, Tuesday April 17th. </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more info on setting New Moon Intentions click here</a><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<b>Here’s a few bonus questions:</b> Where could I have “beginner’s mind”?

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 11:36am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 6:44pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan all of Monday afternoon and early evening ahead of time <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 6:44pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Thursday morning</strong><b>.</b> The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius </i>all day </b>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Venus/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 8:39am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. </strong>This aspect<b> </b>asks us to stretch and grow beyond how we\'ve known ourselves in our relationships up to this point -- a process of maturing that requires we adjust and stay flexible.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, we want to make new and passionate connections while enthusiastically engaging with life; on the other hand, we feel a sharp need to focus on what we want to manifest long-term -- what works, what doesn\'t, what are our resources to make it happen, how can we move from A to B without missing anything essential -- in short, to determine what\'s real and can provide us with the best foundation for the next step. Do your best to make space for both of these urges.\r\n\r\nWe tend to be more cautious when it comes to relationships and finances now -- and in fact, this is not the best time to start a brand-new romantic relationship. Financially though, this aspect can be eye-opening; if we can find creative ways to deal with money, we will grow from it.\r\n\r\nThe key is to approach things in both realms with enthusiasm and maturity. Pushing will most likely not get us what we want: better to go one step at a time, slow and steady; that way, we can come back later with a stronger approach and more mature expectations.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><i> 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

That way, should we choose to express desire or anger (or even contempt or disgust), such expressions will feel natural and organic, rather than something that provokes shame.\r\n\r\nWe may experience situations that call forth our initiative and independence -- but may not feel confident that we can rise to the challenge, let alone follow through.

This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\".

It connects us to our spiritual journey, as it represents a reunion with Source/God/the Universe. When at its highest vibration, <b>Pisces </b>unifies all dualities -- it is completely aware of the oneness of all. It tells us there is a union within, that exists always, and we can tap into it.</div>\r\n<div><b> </b></div>\r\n<div><b>Pisces</b> is accepting and aware of its eternal nature. It lovingly allows all, because it knows that there is no real separation between things, that separation only exists in the mind.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>At it\'s lowest vibration however, <strong>Pisces</strong> feels separate, fearful, and victimized. It wants to escape the harsh physical realities of this world. We get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not go within to connect with our inner divinity, when we do not trust ourselves, our inner processes and intuitive Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What stops me from connecting to my inner divinity? What if I opened to the perfection of life? What if I trusted to universal timing? Might plenty of down-time and rest actually support my reconnection with Source-energy or my intuitive Self?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>This New Moon aligns with Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>: this amplifies the message to be conscious of our intuitive/spiritual healing journey -- individually and collectively ;-) We are being invited to forgive our own \"humanness\" and open our hearts. Suppressing or denying our feelings and intuitive gifts is even less recommended now.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>There is no shame in feeling things, in being sensitive, in being imaginative and kind -- not just with the people we love but publicly as well. We are invited to shift our perspective about \"feelings\" and \"being sensitive\", from perceiving it as weakness, to allowing it to be our strength, our gift.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We are invited to embrace all of who we are (including our emotional body), if we are to fully function in this world -- and if we are to create a world that supports all living things equally.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>Chiron will be moving into <strong>Aries</strong> in April,</em> so as best as you can, think back over the last 7 years (while Chiron has been in <strong>Pisces</strong>); <strong>ask yourself:</strong> In what ways have I been able to heal my relationship to the divine? Am I more in touch with my own intuition now vs, then (2011)? What sensitivities or limitations have come up around the feeling-body? What still needs my love, understanding and compassion in those areas of my life?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>If we can shift our perspective from \"failure and blame\" to \"growth and learning\", we have an opportunity here to take a quantum leap forward in our individual and collective evolution. If a mere 5% of us went through a transformation, imagine what that would trigger for all.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Am I going to be one of the 5%? What might shift if I allowed myself to flow with the energetic stream rather than struggle against it? What might be possible if I gave my body and mind the opportunity to slow down, perhaps even get completely quiet at least 5 minutes every day?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Venus, Mercury and Uranus are all in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b>at the time of this New Moon. This brings another dimension to the New Moon chart: an action-oriented and direct approach that supports our inner courage.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Mercury is stationing</i>, preparing to go retrograde on <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1076589851\"><span class=\"aQJ\">March 22nd</span></span> (at 17 degrees of <b>Aries)</b>, and is thus exalted.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>This brings awareness to our day to day thinking, and how we process and share information; we are more impulsive and quick-minded, and may communicate from a place of passion and courage, or anger. We are also more aware of our own inner dialog and how assertive or aggressive it is.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Pay attention to what\'s \"in your face\" right now. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What\'s important to me? Where do I over-think? Where do I act (or react) without thinking? What are my physical and mental impulses telling me? What role does \"passion\" play in all of this?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We also covered this in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the Mercury Station and Retrograde is going to impact you personally, feel free to watch the mp4 video-presentation of our last Forum -- we applied what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/jupiters-optimism-mercurys-mental-dance-from-within/\">Here is an excerpt from the webinar. </a>For the full 90+ min. webinars <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>The Mercury Station and Retrograde</em> invite us to go beyond the conditioning of our mind, our stories, and our script, and to release what is no longer in alignment with our personal goals, our passions, our \"true\" Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What if I tapped into my inner courage? What if I communicated honestly, was fearless, was without apologies? What if I gave myself permission to start fresh? Every day, every moment?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> squares the New Moon and Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>. This might create some restlessness and uneasiness in regards to our healing journey this month. We may feel we are falling behind, become impatient -- easily annoyed, or simply angry at not being where we\'d like to be. We may want to move faster than our emotional/intuitive body is asking us to go at this time -- individually and collectively speaking.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself here</strong>: Am I using my warrior energy to defend my belief systems and view about life, or to explore larger truths? Am I asserting myself so I can walk my own talk, or using my anger to dominate and separate myself further from others?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Is \"knowingness\" a way to make myself feel better about who I am (i.e. to feel superior), or a compass I can use to explore my life further? Are there any beliefs I hold dear that have limited my connection to Source/intuition? What might be possible if I applied a new approach and brought open-heartedness to those scripts?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We may feel triggered by others and may well trigger them. Some of that may feel connected to the past -- something in our history with someone else might be the trigger in question.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>When this happens, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> Is this somehow familiar? Is it possible it\'s historical? What does it remind me of? Am I attached to being \"right\" here? Could I welcome wanting approval, safety or control? What if opening my heart created space for all truths to co-exist side by side? No need for conflict, or right, or wrong... simply a space for all of it to be part of the larger sea of life. What might be possible if compassion were the warrior-energy of our heart?</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\nMars moves into Capricorn only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact; it will play a major role for the rest of March and April.

Allow for all feelings to flow; allow for yourself to be with what is.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Tap into the divinity within through any, some, or all of the following: meditation; being in nature; music; dance; energy healing; dream work; creative writing; art; being with your intuition. In the silence we feel the oneness with all there is, we feel the unconditional love the Universe provides.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Since 2011, when Neptune and Chiron moved into <b>Pisces</b>, we have been becoming more and more aware that we are<b> One. </b>Everything is energy, everything is connected and everything is in a continuous flow/movement. Each of us is like a drop of water, appearing to be individual, yet also a part of the big ocean of life. We are the sum of all parts: physical, spiritual, emotional, mental… and <i>all</i> that exists is part of the whole.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Take 5-minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, to get quiet and be with yourself (your intuitive/feeling Self). What might become possible if you gave this to your body and mind on a regular basis?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What might a healthy connection with the energetic world feel like? What if I were 5% more interested in my inner world? What if I simply embraced whatever I discovered there? Could I simply allow what \"is\" to \"just be\", just for this very moment?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We are invited to take actions that are aligned with intuition, and communicate our boundaries... perhaps even remove ourselves from situations, when that is the loving thing to do.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>In other words: we move with \"all is well\", no matter what the appearance or view looks like, out there in the world. We trust our inner senses. This is something we need to relearn; we are so conditioned to focus on the outside world for answers, to look to our mind-chatter for answers, or to close off and protect ourselves. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What results might I get if I tapped into inner courage, inner sensing/intuition, and the power of compassion... all at the same time?</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><span class=\"im\">Again, feel free to also watch my New Moon video on the subject: <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">youtube.//...</span></span></div>\r\n<div>\r\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\r\n<div class=\"gmail_default\">\r\n<div class=\"yj6qo ajU\">\r\n<div id=\":7xx\" class=\"ajR\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Hide expanded content\" data-tooltip=\"Hide expanded content\"><img class=\"ajT\" src=\"https://ssl.gstatic.com/ui/v1/icons/mail/images/cleardot.gif\" /></div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div class=\"adL\">\r\n<div><i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in one of the following placements: 25-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>?

Finally, as always during VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday morning and afternoon ahead of time. <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon conjuncts Sun in <strong>Pisces</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<strong>Saturday at 12:40pm EDT,</strong> <i>Mars changes signs </i><i>from optimistic, adventurous</i><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> to realistic, prestige-and-accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until May 16th</strong>. For those 8.5 weeks, we tend to feel more determined, goal-oriented and focused. We are not afraid to work hard on attainable goals so that we can see tangible results.\r\n\r\nOur drive to succeed is quite strong, especially when we feel a need for physical and material security — that is, in the realm of all that can be seen and held. Our self-control tends to be quite strong around the expression of \"drives\" -- things like anger, energy, ambition, and sexuality -- in fact, with Mars in Capricorn we are at our least impulsive, with a powerful need to stay in control.\r\n\r\nBecause we have such a strong sense of responsibility, we need to be careful not to start using work to hide from others. Anger can easily get channeled into our work as well. As best as you can, be kind to yourself, remember we all do the best we can; there is no need for extra pressure.\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more focused and determent. You may want to get down to business. If you are a </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 8.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 2:57pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><b><i>,</i></b> where it will journey <b><strong>until Monday evening</strong></b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday after 2:57pm EDT, </b>it\'s time to start setting your Intentions of this Moon cycle.<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/TijxuK\">https://goo.gl/TijxuK</a><i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 18th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries </i>all day</b> (see Saturday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday night/Sunday very early morning</b> <i>Mercury starts its station-phase</i>. From<b> today on, </b>right through<b> March 29th.</b> <i>Mercury slows down tremendously</i><i>,</i> as it prepares to come to a halt before turning retrograde on March 22nd. During the station, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments during the retrograde -- or the shadow phase that follows.\r\n\r\nFor the next 12 days, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait until after May 3rd, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">14-19 degrees</span> of <strong>Aries</strong></i><b><i>, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday evening,</strong> <em>a Sun/Chiron alignment in 28 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:15pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Wednesday evening (March 21st). </strong>This gives us an opportunity to heal insecurities or shame through conscious awareness.\r\n\r\nBecoming aware of old wounds or limitations is the first step toward healing them. Bringing compassion, self-acceptance, and love to it is the second. Together, steps one and two make for a beautiful healing experience.\r\n\r\nIt will help to stay grounded — connected to the Earth and your body. If waves of feeling come up, let them, simply observe the waves. Ask yourself: Am I the \"wave\" or am I more than that? As best as you can, allow all \"waves\" to wash ashore, and allow yourself to rest as the vastness that you are (just like the ocean is to the waves).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 25-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of <strong>Aries, Libra, Cancer</strong> or <strong>Capricorn</strong></i><i>?

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 11:36am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 6:44pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan all of Monday afternoon and early evening ahead of time <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 6:44pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Thursday morning</strong><b>.</b> The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius </i>all day </b>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Venus/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 8:39am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. </strong>This aspect<b> </b>asks us to stretch and grow beyond how we\'ve known ourselves in our relationships up to this point -- a process of maturing that requires we adjust and stay flexible.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">On the one hand, we want to make new and passionate connections, while enthusiastically engaging with life. On the other hand, we feel a sharp need to focus on what we want to manifest long-term, what works, what doesn\'t, what are our resources to make it happen, how can we move from A to B without missing anything that\'s essential — to determine what\'s real and gives us the best foundation to move to the next step.</span> Do your best to make space for both of these urges.\r\n\r\nWe tend to be more cautious when it comes to relationships and finances now -- and in fact, this is not the best time to start a brand-new romantic relationship. Financially though, this aspect can be eye-opening; if we can find creative ways to deal with money, we will grow from it.\r\n\r\nThe key is to approach things in both realms with enthusiasm and maturity. Pushing will most likely not get us what we want: better to go one step at a time, slow and steady; that way, we can come back later with a stronger approach and more mature expectations.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><i> 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late afternoon,</strong> <em>a harmonious Sun/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 4:06pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Friday. </strong>It’s an opportunity to see things from a different perspective. What will lead us to this new vantage point?\r\n\r\nOptimism, an open mind, an open heart: Follow your enthusiasm as if it were a wilderness guide — and let yourself be creative and free, especially with or around other people.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 14th): <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b></strong><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Mars/Chiron aspect </em>becomes exact at 2:10am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Thursday night (March 8th) on; it will remain strong until next week Monday (March 19th). </strong>This aspect challenges us to see our own attachments and aversions as a normal, perhaps even valid, part of being human. That way, should we choose to express desire or anger (or even contempt or disgust), such expressions will feel natural and organic, rather than something that provokes shame.\r\n\r\nWe may experience situations that call forth our initiative and independence -- but may not feel confident that we can rise to the challenge, let alone follow through. As best as you can, when the challenge comes: Get into action, feel the excitement that comes with stepping out of the familiar. Ask yourself: What would my hero do?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 25-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or 0-1 degree of <strong>Capricorn, Aries, Cancer,</strong> or <strong>Libra</strong></i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\"> </b><i>will feel most affected by this aspect.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 15th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><strong> until 6:12am EDT</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 3:32am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 2.5 hours, <strong>until 6:12am EDT</strong>.

You may also want to plan Thursday early morning ahead of time <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon sextiles Mars in <strong>Sagittarius</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 6:12am EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><b><i>, </i></b>where it will journey <strong>until Saturday afternoon</strong>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.<b> </b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday: </strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday morning for details).</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Friday late morning,</b> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little.

It connects us to our spiritual journey, as it represents a reunion with Source/God/the Universe. When at its highest vibration, <b>Pisces </b>unifies all dualities -- it is completely aware of the oneness of all. It tells us there is a union within, that exists always, and we can tap into it.</div>\r\n<div><b> </b></div>\r\n<div><b>Pisces</b> is accepting and aware of its eternal nature. It lovingly allows all, because it knows that there is no real separation between things, that separation only exists in the mind.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>At it\'s lowest vibration however, <strong>Pisces</strong> feels separate, fearful, and victimized. It wants to escape the harsh physical realities of this world. We get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not go within to connect with our inner divinity, when we do not trust ourselves, our inner processes and intuitive Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What stops me from connecting to my inner divinity? What if I opened to the perfection of life? What if I trusted to universal timing? Might plenty of down-time and rest actually support my reconnection with Source-energy or my intuitive Self?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>This New Moon aligns with Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>: this amplifies the message to be conscious of our intuitive/spiritual healing journey -- individually and collectively ;-) We are being invited to forgive our own \"humanness\" and open our hearts. Suppressing or denying our feelings and intuitive gifts is even less recommended now.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>There is no shame in feeling things, in being sensitive, in being imaginative and kind -- not just with the people we love but publicly as well. We are invited to shift our perspective about \"feelings\" and \"being sensitive\", from perceiving it as weakness, to allowing it to be our strength, our gift.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We are invited to embrace all of who we are (including our emotional body), if we are to fully function in this world -- and if we are to create a world that supports all living things equally.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>Chiron will be moving into <strong>Aries</strong> in April,</em> so as best as you can, think back over the last 7 years (while Chiron has been in <strong>Pisces</strong>); <strong>ask yourself:</strong> In what ways have I been able to heal my relationship to the divine? Am I more in touch with my own intuition now vs, then (2011)? What sensitivities or limitations have come up around the feeling-body? What still needs my love, understanding and compassion in those areas of my life?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>If we can shift our perspective from \"failure and blame\" to \"growth and learning\", we have an opportunity here to take a quantum leap forward in our individual and collective evolution. If a mere 5% of us went through a transformation, imagine what that would trigger for all.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Am I going to be one of the 5%? What might shift if I allowed myself to flow with the energetic stream rather than struggle against it? What might be possible if I gave my body and mind the opportunity to slow down, perhaps even get completely quiet at least 5 minutes every day?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Venus, Mercury and Uranus are all in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b>at the time of this New Moon. This brings another dimension to the New Moon chart: an action-oriented and direct approach that supports our inner courage.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Mercury is stationing</i>, preparing to go retrograde on <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1076589851\"><span class=\"aQJ\">March 22nd</span></span> (at 17 degrees of <b>Aries)</b>, and is thus exalted.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>This brings awareness to our day to day thinking, and how we process and share information; we are more impulsive and quick-minded, and may communicate from a place of passion and courage, or anger. We are also more aware of our own inner dialog and how assertive or aggressive it is.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Pay attention to what\'s \"in your face\" right now. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What\'s important to me? Where do I over-think? Where do I act (or react) without thinking? What are my physical and mental impulses telling me? What role does \"passion\" play in all of this?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We also covered this in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the Mercury Station and Retrograde is going to impact you personally, feel free to watch the mp4 video-presentation of our last Forum -- we applied what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/jupiters-optimism-mercurys-mental-dance-from-within/\">Here is an excerpt of the webinar. </a>For the full 90+ min. webinars <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>The Mercury Station and Retrograde</em> invites us to go beyond the conditioning of our mind, our stories, and our script, and to release what is no longer in alignment with our personal goals, our passions, our \"true\" Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What if I tapped into my inner courage? What if I communicated honestly, was fearless, was without apologies? What if I gave myself permission to start fresh? Every day, every moment?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> squares the New Moon and Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>. This might create some restlessness and uneasiness in regards to our healing journey this month. We may feel we are falling behind, become impatient -- easily annoyed, or simply angry at not being where we\'d like to be. We may want to move faster than our emotional/intuitive body is asking us to go at this time -- individually and collectively speaking.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself here</strong>: Am I using my warrior energy to defend my belief systems and view about life, or to explore larger truths? Am I asserting myself so I can walk my own talk, or simply using my anger to dominate and separate myself further from others?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Is \"knowingness\" a way to make myself feel better about who I am (i.e. to feel superior), or a compass I can use to explore my life further? Are there any beliefs I hold dear that have limited my connection to Source/intuition? What might be possible if I applied a new approach and brought open-heartedness to those scripts?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We may feel triggered by others and may well trigger them. Some of that may feel connected to the past -- something in our history with someone else might be the trigger in question.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>When this happens, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> Is this somehow familiar? Is it possible it\'s historical? What does it remind me of? Am I attached to being \"right\" here? Could I welcome wanting approval, safety or control? What if opening my heart created space for all truths to co-exist side by side? No need for conflict, or right, or wrong... simply a space for all of it to be part of the larger sea of life. What might be possible if compassion were the warrior-energy of our heart?</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">Mars moves into Capricorn only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact and will be playing a major role for the rest of March and April.

You may also want to plan Saturday morning and afternoon ahead of time. <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon conjuncts Sun in <strong>Pisces</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<strong>Saturday at 12:40pm EDT,</strong> <i>Mars changes signs </i><i>from optimistic, adventurous</i><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> to realistic, prestige-and-accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until May 16th</strong>. For those 8.5 weeks, we tend to feel more determined, goal-oriented and focused. We are not afraid to work hard on attainable goals, so that we can see tangible results.\r\n\r\nOur drive to succeed is quite strong, especially when we feel a need for physical and material security — that is, in the realm of all that can be seen and held. Our self-control tends to be quite strong around the expression of \"drives\" -- things like anger, energy, ambition and sexuality -- in fact, with Mars in Capricorn we are at our least impulsive, with a powerful need to stay in control.\r\n\r\nBecause we have such a strong sense of responsibility, we need to be careful not to start using work to hide from others. Anger can easily get channelled into our work as well. As best as you can, be kind to yourself, remember we all do the best we can; there is no need for extra pressure.\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more focused and determent. You may want to get down to business. If you are a </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 8.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 2:57pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><b><i>,</i></b> where it will journey <b><strong>until Monday evening</strong></b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday after 2:57pm EDT, </b>it\'s time to start setting your Intentions of this Moon cycle.<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/TijxuK\">https://goo.gl/TijxuK</a><i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 18th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries </i>all day</b> (see Saturday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday night/Sunday very early morning</b> <i>Mercury starts its station-phase</i>. From<b> today on, </b>right through<b> March 29th.</b> <i>Mercury slows down tremendously</i><i>,</i> as it prepares to come to a halt before turning retrograde on March 22nd. During the station, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments during the retrograde -- or the shadow phase that follows.\r\n\r\nFor the next 12 days, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait until after May 3rd, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">14-19 degrees</span> of <strong>Aries</strong></i><b><i>, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday evening,</strong> <em>a Sun/Chiron alignment in 28 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:15pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Wednesday evening (March 21st). </strong>This gives us an opportunity to heal insecurities or shame through conscious awareness.\r\n\r\nBecoming aware of old wounds or limitations is the first step toward healing them. Bringing compassion, self-acceptance and love to it is the second. Together, steps one and two make for a beautiful healing experience.\r\n\r\nIt will help to stay grounded — connected to the Earth and your body. If waves of feeling come up, let them, simply observe the waves. Ask yourself: Am I the \"wave\" or am I more than that? As best as you can, allow all \"waves\" to wash ashore, and allow yourself to rest as the vastness that you are (just like the ocean is to the waves).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 25-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of <strong>Aries, Libra, Cancer</strong> or <strong>Capricorn</strong></i><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso, <b>Sunday all day: </b>If you haven\'t gotten around to it yet,<i> </i><i>set your Intentions</i> for this Moon cycle...

Mercury follows suit, beginning its own Station phase on Tuesday, that in turn intensifies on Friday (it will come to a complete halt -- ending it\'s retrograde phase -- on Sunday morning).\r\n\r\nIn other news, the Balsamic Moon phase becomes exact on Thursday evening, and the New Moon in Aries becomes exact on Sunday, late in the evening.\r\n\r\nAnd of course, the week wouldn\'t be complete without some <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases -- though there are only two this week: the first on Wednesday, late in the morning (it lasts for almost 4 hours) and a longer one that starts Friday morning and runs for almost 16 hours.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (April 9th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><strong>Capricorn</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 2:50am EDT. </strong><strong>At that point</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <b><strong>until Wednesday afternoon</strong>. </b>The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Monday</strong>, <b> </b><i>Saturn slows down (stations) in 9 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i> <i>\"Stationing\" is when a planet </i>moves more slowly through the sky. When a planet stations, its energy becomes...\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\r\n<strong> GET IT ALL!

Saturn also represents our structures, responsibilities, commitments and ability to \"do\" life, on life\'s terms.\r\n\r\nAs spirit beings in a physical world, it\'s best to observe the laws of the physical world. The sooner we learn to \"play by the rules\", the easier life gets. Saturn also represents time and the \"domain\" of time: growing up, maturing, understanding our limitations, setting healthy boundaries with others, living with integrity, being authentic and truthful, being serious and focused on building something of value to society.\r\n\r\nSaturn is our teacher. If you had a cosmic teacher, what would your personal \"earth class\" be in, right now? Where are you being asked to look at your long-term goals and ambitons and became more mature? What calls for a commitment towards building a solid foundation? What will time do?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during the time of the station, bring flexibility and open-mindedness to any frustrations. The station-phase will last <b>until April 24th</b> -- and Saturn will start its 5-month retrograde phase, next week Tuesday, on April 17th…\r\n\r\nFeel free to watch our mp4 video presentation about April\'s Saturn and Pluto Station and Retrograde phases in relationship to our own Birth charts...To purchase this webinar, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">click here. </a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Special Offer:</strong> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-) <b>Please note </b>that we will be talking about Chiron moving into Aries and Uranus moving into Taurus, in our next Forum. Major shifts ahead!\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in </i><b><i>7-11 degrees of  Capricorn, Cancer, Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this station. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>, since Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (April 10th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <strong>all day</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday night/</strong>Wednesday very early morning, <em>a challenging Sun/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:54am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening (April 7th) on; it will remain strong until this Friday night (April 13th)</strong>. What we identify ourselves with could now be challenged. This aspect forces us to confront our will, power, assertion, and authority.\r\n\r\nComing into focus now: the relationship with a father- or other important male-figures. We may face the need to be more independent, assertive, and autonomous.\r\n\r\nWe may alienate others with a controlling, jealous, or overbearing manner. This manner stems from a deep fear of letting go and surrendering to the idea that some things cannot be directed or controlled. We are learning to detach from (let go of) something or someone that no longer serves us -- the \"something\" could include attitudes.\r\n\r\nThis fear may lead us to compulsive, suspicious, or difficult behavior, costing us the very thing that we hold dear. As best as you can, open yourself up to the power of love within. When you do, you will discover your own strength, and rework your very identity. Perhaps most importantly, this aspect puts us face to face with <i>exactly</i> what\'s been holding us back from leading a fuller, more meaningful life.\r\n\r\nWe may have to make some changes or adjustments between our immediate personal desires and our long-term goals. As best as you can, be open to receiving feedback from others during this time.\r\n\r\nIf you feel pressured into doing something or you feel a power struggle build, as best as you can, get centered, get grounded and open your heart and mind. This aspect is a major growth opportunity for us: we struggle with buried elements of our personality and ego, learning to face, accept and transform them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra,  </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (the Sun is the ruler of Leo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso <strong>on Tuesday</strong>, <i>Mercury starts to slow down again (“stationing”).</i><i> </i>It’s getting ready to come to a halt, ending its 3.5-week retrograde phase, on Sunday, April 15th (more on that later this week…). For the next 10 days (<strong>until April 20th</strong><b>)</b>, we need to be patient with ourselves and others -- especially if there is a connection with communication or transportation, and their associated technologies. This is not the best time to start anything brand-new, especially if it contains new information that needs to be processed.\r\n\r\nWe might experience delays or misunderstandings, and things tend to feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time to get ready for travel somewhere -- especially if you intend to use public transportation or drive (For more details on Mercury Shadow Phases and Retrogrades, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">click here</a>)\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets (or angles) <em>in 4-6 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong>, <b>Libra</b>, </em></i><b><i>Capricorn, </i></b><i>or</i><i> </i><b><i>Cancer.</i></b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (April 11th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <strong>until 2:40pm EDT</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:03am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Friday evening (April 6th) on; it will remain strong until this Sunday.</strong> We tend to feel passionate, super-creative, and just plain energized at this time -- we have tons of vitality and warmth.\r\n\r\nThis helps us bring people together for mutual pleasure and benefit; there is also a feeling of flow around creativity and manifesting something real... If you knew it would be easy, what would you pick to create?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of <b>Taurus,</b></i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?</i><i> If so, you may feel more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars rules Aries) </i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday morning</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Sun/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 8:15am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday night</strong>. This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed if we’re to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\nThis aspect brings us to a fork in the road: One path takes us toward personal goals and helps us inspire others by being direct and enthusiastic. The other leads to greater understanding of intimacy, and of how we share our resources with others.\r\n\r\nThere\'s not necessarily a \"correct path\", as both can lead to a deeper exploration of the themes in question. Whichever one you decide to walk, go deeper rather than faster -- empower yourself and others by connecting in an authentic way, being honest about your motivations.\r\n\r\nOne more thing: as best as you can, carefully evaluate any projects before getting involved -- awareness is key with this aspect. Ask yourself: What is needed? How can we serve the broader view?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 22-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules of Leo; Jupiter rules Sagittarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 10:55am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 4 hours, <strong>until 2:40pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday late morning and early afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 2:40pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces, </i></b>where it will journey <strong>until Friday late evening</strong>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (April 12th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <strong>all day</strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:26pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday night</strong>. This is an opportunity for compassion and kindness in our social interactions. We are more attuned to the subtleties of human interaction, and are more inclined to naturally cooperate with others. We tend to \"feel\" each other on an energetic level now; a sensitive approach is recommended.\r\n\r\nWe also have an opportunity to connect to our values and gifts from intuition, and use our imagination to attract what we want: When you daydream, what would you like to experience? How would it feel?\r\n\r\nRemember: opportunities are openings; they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 13-17 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune rules Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday evening,</strong> <em>the Balsamic Moon phase begins</em> -- when the Moon reaches 11 degrees of <strong>Pisces.</strong><i> </i>This lasts <b>until Sunday late evening</b>, when the New Moon in <b>Aries </b>becomes exact (for those of you who are impatiently waiting for my New Moon video, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here</a> after April 10th). We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our intuition.\r\n\r\nFor some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes. This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (April 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <strong>until 11:25pm EDT</strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 7:27am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 16 hours, <strong>until 11:25pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to explore any beliefs connected to past experiences that left you feeling disempowered: How could a compassionate approach to the past allow for a new perspective?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday all day and evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 11:25pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries,</i></b> where it will journey <strong>until Monday very early morning (April 16th)</strong>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<b> </b>\r\n\r\nAlso<strong> on Friday, </strong><em>Mercury Station intensifies in almost 5 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> -- as Mercury is preparing to come to halt on Sunday (ending its 3.5-week retrograde phase). During the station phase, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments once Mercury is moving direct again (to be more precise, during the shadow phase that follows).\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned on Tuesday already,<strong> for the next 6 days</strong>, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait <strong>until after May 3rd</strong>, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 3-6 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (April 14th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b>Aries</b></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Friday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday early morning</strong>, <em>a long-term, opportune Jupiter/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:58am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday (March 19th) on; it will remain strong until Tuesday (May 1st)</strong>. This is second time this year we will experience this aspect -- think back to January, when it last occurred: In what ways were you able to deepen your relationships, business and personal alike?\r\n\r\nA positive attitude and deeper trust in our connections with others gives us the chance to build something meaningful and share our passions. We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support professional or personal goals.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Where could I really dig in to solve a problem? How might passion help deliver on my long-term goals? How could other people\'s resources support my ability to create transformation? How might they help me stand in my power?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>Saturday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Mars/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:27pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until</strong></span> <strong>next week</strong><strong>, </strong><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>Wednesday evening (April 18th)</strong>. </span>This gives us the opportunity to take actions that are in alignment with our dreams and ideals. This is also an opportunity for boundaries to dissolve -- to open and relax.\r\n\r\nCreative or spiritual activities might be a good fit with this planetary connection. We may feel the need to daydream or inspire others. What might it mean, to take \"inspired action\"? What might show up in the world? What if you allowed the Universe to co-create with you?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <span style=\"color: #808080;\">13-17 degrees</span> of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Pisces,  Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Neptune rules Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Saturday</strong>, <em>Saturn Station intensifies in 9 degrees of <strong>Capricorn.</strong></em> As I mentioned on Monday already, <i>\"Stationing\" is when a planet </i>moves more slowly through the sky. When a planet stations, its energy becomes more \"exalted\"; in the case of Saturn, this means we all feel the need to more fully face what is currently so, our actual reality.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Where am I being asked to look at my long-term goals and ambitons and became more mature? What calls for a commitment towards building a solid foundation? What will time do?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during the time of the station, bring flexibility and open-mindedness to any frustrations. The station-phase will feel most intense until <b>until April 20th, </b>but altogether, it will run <b>until April 24th</b> -- and Saturn will start its 5-month retrograde phase, next week Tuesday (<b>on April 17th)</b>… more on that next week ;-)\r\n\r\nFeel free to watch our mp4 video presentation about April\'s Saturn and Pluto Station and Retrograde phases in relationship to our own Birth charts...To purchase this webinar, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">click here. </a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Special Offer:</strong> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-) <b>Please note </b>that we will be talking about Chiron moving into Aries and Uranus moving into Taurus, in our next Forum. Major shifts ahead!\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 7-11 degrees of </i><b><i> Capricorn, Cancer, Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this station. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>, since Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (April 15th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b>Aries</b></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Friday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 5:21am EDT</strong>, <i>Mercury comes to a halt in almost 5 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries </i></b>and <i>slowly starts its direct motion</i><i>, </i>after its 3.5-week retrograde phase<i>.</i> As best as you can, go with the flow, keep an open mind and pay attention to anything that is in your face right now -- you may need to address those issues again, when Mercury moves through its shadow phase…more on that later.\r\n\r\nWe are slowly ready to shift our focus back towards the outer world again, taking in new information and sharing from a new perspective. What did you learn about your inner dialog over the past 3 weeks? How can you share your newly found inner understanding in a healthy way with the world? What needs to be addressed regarding your personal goals and desires? With a direct and passionate way of approaching communications? With any new-found understanding of your own thinking structures?\r\n\r\nWhen Mercury gets back to its regular speed (<b>by April 20th</b>), communication and transportation will get back to normal; the same is true of any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets (or angles) in 3-6 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Libra.</i></b>\r\n\r\nAs you may recall, I mentioned <i>Mercury shadow phases</i> on Tuesday: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it\'s best to avoid the periods shortly before and after Mercury goes retrograde. This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) This particular <b>shadow phase ends on May 3rd</b>. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">Click here to read my blog on the subject</a>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening, at 9:57pm EDT:</strong> the <em>Moon aligns with the Sun in 26 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em>. This is the beginning of a new Moon cycle; anything brand-new started in the next two weeks has the chance to get off to a great start. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">Also feel free to watch my New Moon video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\nThe <i>New Moon in fast-paced, enthusiastic, courageous </i><b><i>Aries</i></b>, asks us to connect to our personal goals and to get very clear on what we want to create for the next 28 days. This is an action-packed energy, with the focus on ourselves -- we tend to do first and think later -- we have a tremendous amount of energy and want to sprint.\r\n\r\nAries is the first sign of the zodiac, and thus represents new beginnings, initiation, breaking new ground and birthing new forms. An <em>Aries New Moon</em> is thus an especially fertile time for seeding new projects and directions.\r\n\r\nWe generally don\'t know what will happen when we start something brand-new -- something we have never done before -- and this can bring up insecurities or nervousness, sometimes maybe even plain fear or even panic.\r\n\r\nAries and its ruling planet Mars correspond with the quest to develop courage -- not fearlessness, but the conscious choice to act in spite of fear. Some call this the \"Warrior Energy\".\r\n\r\nOne of the many ways we can demonstrate courage is to allow ourselves to be in a state of \"not knowing\" or \"beginners mind\". At these times, we are more present, and sometimes a state of heightened creative potential arises. <b>Ask yourself: </b>What might come forth if I suspended my opinions, beliefs, judgments and concepts, just for a moment, here and there? Could I be brave enough to take a rest from needing to know, just for right now?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars is the ruler of Aries; it\'s currently in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, sextiling Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>.</i> This aspect asks us to create a solid relationship with our long-term ambitions, while allowing for our inner divinity (Source/God) to guide us toward what feels intuitively right to us, so we can go after it, and manifest it.\r\n\r\nIt also bears a cosmic message about relating to our long-term goals in a loving, kind manner -- softening our approach perhaps, releasing rigid \"shoulds\" and any obligations not aligned with our highest calling.\r\n\r\nIn the same spirit, we are also asked to slow down and focus on quality over quantity, sustainability over novelty, ease over force. <b>Questions you can ask yourself here:</b> What structures might support my emotional/intuitive well-being? What actions would connect my ambitious self to my \"soul-self\"?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars also aligns with Pluto and Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>. This combo brings our long-term business dealings into deep and sharp focus, especially when it comes to manifesting something real (tangible, sustainable, meaningful, etc.)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nFurther, anything dysfunctional within our businesses, governments or long-term goals invites investigation. We are being asked to eliminate or transform anything no longer aligned with our Soul’s passions. This is for our highest good -- individually and collectively.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I felt fully empowered from within and felt absolutely passionate about life, what would I go about “building”? What would be truly meaningful to my Soul in the long run?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon aligns with Uranus in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> -- </i><i>and this is also part of a square with Pluto and Mars in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>. This underlines the message that we are ready to take the next big step on our path. Uranus symbolizes the desire for freedom, equality, and (most of all) progress.\r\n\r\nIt takes courage to leave familiar territory.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span><b>Ask yourself:</b> What is the next step on my journey toward becoming an ever-stronger, healthy individual, one who knows themselves, and is not afraid to go after their personal goals and desires? What if it were possible to accomplish that whilst staying focused on my long-term achievements?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> What might that look like?</span>\r\n\r\n<i>This alignment between Uranus and the New Moon</i> asks us to break away from anything keeping us from stepping up our game -- whatever keeps us in a rut.\r\n\r\nShifts are happening everywhere. It\'s time to develop some courage and awareness. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Where do I want to step up? Where do I want to break out? If I made a big leap, where would I most like to land? Could I surprise myself once a day, for the next 28 days?\r\n\r\n<i>Pluto is also stationing -- </i>and thus exalted -- bringing extra intensity to this process. Pluto shows us where we give our power away to others and where we abuse it ourselves. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What structures no longer empower me? What am I most aware of right now? If I\'m honest, what will almost inevitably break down over the long haul, simply because it is no longer sustainable?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury has been retrograde for the past three weeks, </i>guiding us to reevaluate our thinking about personal goals and how we want to move things forward. Mercury\'s retrograde directed us to deal with unfinished business around past or present dealings, <i>to acknowledge what we learned, be thankful for the growth we experienced, and move forward.</i>\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> is all about “Beginner’s Mind” -- open, eager, willing to be surprised. The fewer preconceptions we have, the more possibilities we see, the path widens as we walk it. This placement also reminds us that communication starts within our own minds -- our inner dialog is the seed for all outer communication.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury will be moving direct on the day of the New Moon</i>, giving the green light to anything that was in a holding pattern for the past 3-6 weeks. That said, anything developed from scratch (or that first came to light) during the retrograde phase is best left on \"pause\", until the shadow phase ends on May 3rd.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe are also cautioned not to be hasty, as <i>Mercury still squares Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>; the message here is \"take it steady\". <b>Ask yourself:</b> What benefits might I reap from taking it one step at a time? From not rushing things?\r\n\r\nWe\'ll be dealing with a lot of Stations this month: Mercury, Saturn, Pluto. Keep in mind that these station phases create awareness. When preparing to go retrograde, they in turn prepare us to gain inner clarity and connect to the energies from within (i.e., more intuitively). In this case, that would apply to Saturn and Pluto.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, when going direct, after a retrograde phase, a station prepares us to move forward (in this instance, that applies to Mercury).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>On April 17th,</strong> <em>Saturn goes into its yearly retrograde, this time at 9º <strong>Capricorn.</strong></em> It will turn direct on Sept. 6th at 2.5º, and get back to that starting point of 9º Capricorn on December 12th.\r\n\r\nSaturn in Capricorn exposes the consequences of our long-term ambitions.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>Saturn always calls us to become our own authority, our own judge of what is right, true, and useful long-term. This can be very different from what society, other authority figures, or our country tells us.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWhile I\'m on the subject: the Saturn and Pluto Retrogrades were covered in considerable detail in the last Monthly Forecasting Forum -- and if you want to know how this planetary movement might impact you personally, feel free to purchase the video of the last webinar -- we applied the Pluto and Saturn Retrograde phases to our own birth charts! <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">Click here for more info or to purchase the recording</a>\r\n\r\nThere is also a <b>Special</b> <strong>Offer</strong> linked to that recording<b>:</b> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for the next Forum</a> <b>by April 17th</b>, I will include that Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar for FREE ;-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<em>During the upcoming Retrograde phases,</em> it may be advisable for us to keep the focus more on ourselves, and check in frequently with our inner compass. We also get a chance to see what works (and what doesn\'t) in certain areas of our lives; we can take stock, and look to see what needs a do-over (or at least a reassessment).\r\n\r\nLast but not least, we have <i>Chiron in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> -- this is the last degree of the sign and the aspect is  therefore exalted. We are approaching the end of 7 years of Chiron in Pisces!\r\n\r\nThink back over those last 7 years and <strong>ask yourself:</strong> What have I learned about my relationship to my higher Self/intuition? What have I learned about the emotional body? About the energetic body? What do I know about my inner healing process that I didn\'t know before 2011?\r\n\r\n<i>Chiron will move into </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> </i><b>on April 17th</b> -- the same day that Saturn comes to a halt -- and will remain in this enthusiastic sign until the end of September.\r\n\r\nWe will go over this upcoming shift in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how Chiron\'s journey through Aries, (and Uranus\'s journey through Taurus) will impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. The next Forum will be on <b>Monday, April 30th</b> at 3pm EDT/8pm BST (London-time); <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">for more info or to register, click here</a>\r\n\r\n<b>And of course, there\'s that Special Offer, I mentioned already:</b> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> <b>by April 17th</b>, you will also get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs a reminder to <strong>Star </strong>or<strong> SuperStar members:</strong> you will be automatically signed up for the Forum and will receive a link via email to join the live webinar and also for the video presentation. Watch out for those emails (and check your junk mail, if you don\'t see it in your inbox ;-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAlright, let\'s turn our attention back to this <i>New Moon: </i> we are being helped to go beyond the familiar, the comfortable, the customary. Here are some more questions you can <b>ask yourself for the next two to four weeks:</b> What is my vision? What do I want to create now? What needs to change to make this happen?\r\n\r\nThe highest expression of the <b>Aries</b> energy is expressed when we lead others by example and inspiration -- they follow because they see our courage, our enthusiasm for life, and they want to be a part of that. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What if I dared to lead responsibly and with integrity? What if I were the one who inspires others and makes a difference? What is the smallest difference I could make? What is the largest?\r\n\r\nDo your best to tap into the very core of your being — your vision, your purpose — and don\'t be fooled: it is an essential part of the collective journey. Be an agent of change! Have the courage to step up and step out! To quote the great jewish scholar, Hillel: “If not you, then who? If not now, when?”\r\n\r\n<b>Some bonus questions you can ask yourself for the next 2 weeks:</b> What do I see that needs changing? What do I feel most passionate about? Where do I need to take a stand? What if I approached things with 5% more maturity? What is the outcome that serves long-term? <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> As best as you can, commit to something larger than yourself. Listen to your inner voice and bring your passionate Self to the world. Remember that each of us makes this journey in our own way, in our own time, so focus on yourself -- <em>your</em> path, <em>your</em> truth -- rather than on what lies beyond your control.\r\n\r\nSpring is an excellent time to do a cleanse on all levels.<b> Ask yourself:</b> What changes have already been in the back of my mind for months now? What first step looks inviting?\r\n\r\nRemember, the ultimate goal of this New Moon is to tap into our inner warrior — a mature warrior that generates and protects, rather than the shadow warrior who exploits and destroys -- who is courageous, rather than combative, assertive rather than aggressive.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">To learn more about this month\'s New Moon, please click here to watch my video. </a>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 24-28 degrees of either </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>?

This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to <strong>set some powerful intentions</strong> for this month\'s Moon cycle (this process is especially powerful with the <i>New Moon in </i><b><i>Aries)</i></b>. Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <i>not</i> during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase.\r\n\r\nSo this month, we have two periods that are great<i> times to set intentions:</i> the first one is the roughly four hours that lie between <b>9:57pm Sunday late evening (April 15th) </b>and<b> 1:59am Monday very early morning (April 16th).</b>\r\n\r\nIf you aren’t able to set intentions during that time period, wait a few hours, and do so between <b>4:51am on Monday and 6:05pm EDT, Tuesday April 17th. </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more info on setting New Moon Intentions click here</a><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<b>Here’s a few bonus questions:</b> Where could I have “beginner’s mind”?

On the one hand, I heard \"relax, enjoy, be with what is\" -- this felt very much connected to Venus in Pisces.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, I was quite aware of my past-based patterns, and I practiced being kind to myself and asking questions, rather than dwell on the patterns themselves -- this felt connected to Jupiter in Scorpio. Of course, the Eclipse on Thursday threw me for a loop -- it took place in my 4th House. This is the area of home and family... And there were definitely some unexpected things going on there that had to be addressed. How are <em>you</em> moving with these energies?\r\n\r\n<b>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement: </b>\r\nI\'m still offering a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\"><b>super-dooper special launch discount</b></a> on site membership.

Why? <a href=\"https://goo.gl/aEhibk\">Click here</a> to read more about it\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: the first Quarter Moon in Gemini becomes exact on Friday; Eclipse season ends on Sunday, and among other things, that means you can start to take actions on your Solar Eclipse intentions that day -- and Jupiter begins its Station-phase on Sunday as well.\r\n\r\nThere will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Tuesday morning (for 8 hours), Thursday morning (for almost 12.5 hours), and Saturday afternoon (for a little over 7 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (February 19th): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><i>pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries </i><strong>all day.</strong></b> It will remain there <b>until Tuesday afternoon</b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday</strong><strong> </strong><b>morning</b> starts out harmoniously and with an urge to explore something new that helps us understand the bigger picture all around.<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\r\n***\r\n\r\n<strong>WHOOPS!

As best as you can, allow yourself to make space for both; flexibility and adaptability are key if we mean to move forward with our plans and projects...\r\n\r\nLast but not least, also on <strong>Monday until 4pm EST, </strong>it is still the best time to set<i> our powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse Intentions</i>. Doing so during a Solar Eclipse is a little different from the regular monthly New Moon process: we are setting those intentions for the whole 6-month Eclipse cycle, rather than just for the next 28 days.\r\n<b></b>\r\n\r\nMake them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the <b>Aquarian</b> energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nThis Solar Eclipse reminds us that to be fully alive requires us to constantly stretch, grow, and change. So, while writing your intentions, ask yourself: What would it take for me to release old patterns from the past? How might that free me to create a more powerful vision for the future?\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (February 20th): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><i>pioneering, fast-paced </i><strong><b><i>Aries</i></b></strong><strong><em> </em>until 2:12pm EST </strong>(see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:11am EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for 8 hours, <strong>until 2:12pm EST. </strong>Use this intuitive time to connect to people that can enthusiastically support your projects and share with them what you have going on.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday morning until early afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 2:12pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves</i><b> </b><i>into steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Thursday evening.</strong> We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.\r\n\r\nIn other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (February 21st):</strong> <em>t</em><em>he Moon remains in steady, peaceful</em><strong><em> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> </em>all day </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon,</strong> <i>a Venus/Neptune alignment in 13.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> </i>becomes exact at 1:42pm EST. <b>We started to feel this aspect on Monday night, it will be strong until Friday night</b>. It asks us to dissolve anything that keeps us from opening our hearts more fully. This connection makes us dream of Soul connections with others.\r\n\r\nWe are highly romantic and may turn a blind eye to \"what is\", in pursuit of a fantasy that we want or need to have fulfilled. Beware of anything that sounds too good to be true -- whether that\'s in connection with people or money -- it might indeed be \"too good to be true\" ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Mercury/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 3:23pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning on; it will remain strong until this Thursday. </strong>This is an opportunity to take responsibility for our thinking structures and be really honest with ourselves.\r\n\r\nHow can we get the most from this opportunity? As best as you can, allow your intuitive body to guide you. Commit to understanding your conditioning and thinking processes.\r\n\r\nIf we take this chance to see things more clearly and connect to ourselves more lovingly, we could get a good dose of reality, and an ability to focus on long-term issues. Remember: opportunities are openings; they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 5-9 degrees of <strong>Capricorn, Pisces, Scorpio </strong>or <strong>Taurus</strong>? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (Feb. 22nd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <b><i>Taurus</i></b></em><strong><em> </em>until 7:07pm EST </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 6:46am EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 12.5 hours, <strong>until 7:07pm EST</strong>. Use this intuitive time to balance your desire for comfort and security with your desire for deeper emotional connections with yourself and others.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday Day ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 7:07pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <strong>until Saturday late evening</strong><b>.</b> For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way...\r\n\r\nThe one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-) This Moon placement starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Friday very early morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (Feb. 23rd):</strong> <em>the </em><i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b></strong>(see Thursday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday very early morning, at 3:09am EST, </strong><i>the first Quarter Moon in 4.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> </i>becomes exact (<b>we <strong>started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered <em>Gemini</em> on Thursday evening</strong>). </b>The Moon in chatty, versatile <b>Gemini</b> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in sensitive, compassionate <b>Pisces.</b>\r\n\r\nLast week (Feb. 15th) saw a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse. If we set some intentions on Feb. 17th, 18th or 19th, we are now ready to make some adjustments. This is a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum -- in fact, we may feel compelled to act, stirring up anxiety or overwhelm, so just go one breath at a time.\r\n\r\nRemember, we\'re still in Eclipse Season until Sunday, and thus don\'t have all the information we need to move brand-new projects forward yet. Allow for changes, remain flexible and adaptable, find creative solutions in day-to-day interactions with others. Allow for new downloads and for the release of “old” codes and conditioning. Simply put: an open mind and heart will serve us best (that\'s true in general, but especially true until Feb. 25th ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 2-7 degrees of</i><b><i> Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (Feb. 24th): </strong><em>the </em><i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b></strong><strong><em> </em>until 10:06pm EST </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 2:58pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 10:06pm EST. </strong>Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 10:06pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Monday late evening (Feb. 26th)</strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday night, </strong><em> </em><i>Jupiter starts to slow down (station) as it reaches 23 degrees of </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Scorpio</strong><i>, preparing for its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. </i>Jupiter will come to a halt on March 8th;<i> </i>its <i>station-phase</i> last <b>until March 20th.</b> We will feel its energy more forcefully during the station-phase.\r\n\r\nWe start to be more fully aware of Jupiter\'s energy; this awareness helps us to get more connected to those energies within us. We get to see where we need to embrace them more fully, so that we can use them in a healthy way, without getting lost in the lower vibrations of their expression.\r\n\r\n<b>Until March 20th</b>, we have to face what this planet is trying to communicate to us: Jupiter represents our desire to seek insight via the gaining of knowledge. Some of this planet\'s keywords: morality, gratitude, hope, honor, law. Jupiter is the planet of possibility, optimism, and growth (including mental and spiritual growth). Jupiter is also associated with a sense of humor, goodwill, and mercy.\r\n\r\nThe lower expressions of Jupiter include \"Oh, the heck with it\", \"I deserve this and more\", \"the rules do not apply to me\" -- generally speaking: too much of a good thing, blind optimism, excess, stretching the truth, overindulgence.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> 21-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Taurus, Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this station phase. This is also true for those of us who have our</i><i> or Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter rules Sagittarius, so Sagittarius will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (February 25th): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><em><i>protective, nurturing</i></em><strong><em><i> </i>Cancer </em>all day </strong>(see Saturday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Venus/Mars aspect </em>becomes exact at 7:01am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday night (Feb. 27th). </strong>This aspect asks that we stretch ourselves with regard to the feminine/masculine dynamic as it manifests both “inside” and “outside”: A shift needs to occur.\r\n\r\nThis can show up in several ways, either through romantic and sexual tensions that we might experience with others. We may tease each other, flirt with each other and/or play hard to get. Or we may find ourselves arguing in a very passionate way with the opposite sex. Competitiveness, anger, frustration, or angst might be present. Either way, this can be a very passionate time.\r\n\r\nBalancing and integrating masculine and feminine energies within ourselves would be very useful at this time.\r\n\r\nIf we experience these energies internally, there may be a desire for adventure -- or just for being still and \"adventuring\" into ourselves, our heart-space, our inner universe. The challenge might be that we feel pulled in two directions -- on the one hand, we want to feel \"one\" with others and connect to them through love and kindness. On the other hand, we want to be free and explore something new, outside of our familiar environment.\r\n\r\nWhat might it look like, if you made room for both of these energies?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in 15-22 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars is the ruler of Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Neptune alignment in 13.5 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:26am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Monday night (Feb. 26th). </strong>This aspect could take our connection to our intuition even deeper -- if we can allow it.\r\n\r\nSpiritual and creative endeavors are highly recommended during this time -- especially those involving music or creative writing. This is definitely a highly imaginative time. As best as you can, go with the flow and -- just for now -- let go of wanting to figure it all out.\r\n\r\nThe highest vibration of this aspect is idealistic, highly intuitive and romantic; on a lower level vibration, we might not see reality clearly and we might easily feel overwhelmed. We might get confused or disappointed; things might seem a little foggy, especially when it comes to communication, processing information, public transportation or daily traffic.\r\n\r\nCheck in with others before signing any documents or making long-term decisions for those three days: get reality checks! As best as you can, let go and let flow ;-) On the other hand, trust the divine timing of things and have faith that everything will turn out exactly as it needs to.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of  </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Sun/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 12:46pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (Feb. 27th). </strong>This aspect provides an opportunity to become aware of what needs to happen if we are to accomplish something concrete.\r\n\r\nWe have common sense at our disposal; we are willing to look reality in the eye and take responsibility for our life and how we live it. This is an opportunity to be more aware of our heart connection to the divine and to our intuitive selves -- and how it can benefit us both in terms of long-term goals, and in what we are focused on in the here and now. Again, remember: opportunities are openings, they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 5-9 degrees</i><b><i> </i></b><i>of </i><b><i>Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.

On the one hand, I heard \"relax, enjoy, be with what is\" -- this felt very much connected to Venus in Pisces.\n\nOn the other hand, I was quite aware of my past-based patterns, and I practiced being kind to myself and asking questions, rather than dwell on the patterns themselves -- this felt connected to Jupiter in Scorpio. Of course, the Eclipse on Thursday threw me for a loop -- it took place in my 4th House. This is the area of home and family...

Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\n\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\n\n<strong>Monday</strong><strong> </strong><b>morning</b> starts out harmoniously and with an urge to explore something new that helps us understand the bigger picture all around.\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\n<strong>WHOOPS!

Doing so during a Solar Eclipse is a little different from the regular monthly New Moon process: we are setting those intentions for the whole 6-month Eclipse cycle, rather than just for the next 28 days.\n<b></b></p>\nMake them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the <b>Aquarian</b> energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\n\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\n\nThis Solar Eclipse reminds us that to be fully alive requires us to constantly stretch, grow, and change. So, while writing your intentions, ask yourself: What would it take for me to release old patterns from the past? How might that free me to create a more powerful vision for the future?\n\n<strong>Tuesday (February 20th): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><i>pioneering, fast-paced </i><strong><b><i>Aries</i></b></strong><strong><em> </em>until 2:12pm EST </strong>(see Monday for details).\n\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:11am EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for 8 hours, <strong>until 2:12pm EST. </strong>Use this intuitive time to connect to people that can enthusiastically support your projects and share with them what you have going on.\n\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

If we set some intentions on Feb. 17th, 18th or 19th, we are now ready to make some adjustments. This is a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum -- in fact, we may feel compelled to act, stirring up anxiety or overwhelm, so just go one breath at a time.\n\nRemember, we\'re still in Eclipse Season until Sunday, and thus don\'t have all the information we need to move brand-new projects forward yet. Allow for changes, remain flexible and adaptable, find creative solutions in day-to-day interactions with others. Allow for new downloads and for the release of “old” codes and conditioning. Simply put: an open mind and heart will serve us best (that\'s true in general, but especially true until Feb. 25th ;-)\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 2-7 degrees of</i><b><i> Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

You may also want to plan Saturday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)\n\n<strong>Saturday at 10:06pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Monday late evening (Feb. 26th)</strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\n\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.\n\n<strong>Saturday night, </strong><em> </em><i>Jupiter starts to slow down (station) as it reaches 23 degrees of </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Scorpio</strong><i>, preparing for its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. </i>Jupiter will come to a halt on March 8th;<i> </i>its <i>station-phase</i> last <b>until March 20th.</b> We will feel its energy more forcefully during the station-phase.\n\nWe start to be more fully aware of Jupiter\'s energy; this awareness helps us to get more connected to those energies within us. We get to see where we need to embrace them more fully, so that we can use them in a healthy way, without getting lost in the lower vibrations of their expression.\n\n<b>Until March 20th</b>, we have to face what this planet is trying to communicate to us: Jupiter represents our desire to seek insight via the gaining of knowledge. Some of this planet\'s keywords: morality, gratitude, hope, honor, law. Jupiter is the planet of possibility, optimism, and growth (including mental and spiritual growth). Jupiter is also associated with a sense of humor, goodwill, and mercy.\n\nThe lower expressions of Jupiter include \"Oh, the heck with it\", \"I deserve this and more\", \"the rules do not apply to me\" -- generally speaking: too much of a good thing, blind optimism, excess, stretching the truth, overindulgence.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> 21-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Taurus, Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this station phase. This is also true for those of us who have our</i><i> or Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter rules Sagittarius, so Sagittarius will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\n\n<strong>Sunday (February 25th): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><em><i>protective, nurturing</i></em><strong><em><i> </i>Cancer </em>all day </strong>(see Saturday late evening for details).\n\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Venus/Mars aspect </em>becomes exact at 7:01am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday night (Feb. 27th). </strong>This aspect asks that we stretch ourselves with regard to the feminine/masculine dynamic as it manifests both “inside” and “outside”: A shift needs to occur.\n\nThis can show up in several ways, either through romantic and sexual tensions that we might experience with others. We may tease each other, flirt with each other and/or play hard to get. Or we may find ourselves arguing in a very passionate way with the opposite sex. Competitiveness, anger, frustration, or angst might be present. Either way, this can be a very passionate time.\n\nBalancing and integrating masculine and feminine energies within ourselves would be very useful at this time.\n\nIf we experience these energies internally, there may be a desire for adventure -- or just for being still and \"adventuring\" into ourselves, our heart-space, our inner universe. The challenge might be that we feel pulled in two directions -- on the one hand, we want to feel \"one\" with others and connect to them through love and kindness. On the other hand, we want to be free and explore something new, outside of our familiar environment.\n\nWhat might it look like, if you made room for both of these energies?\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in 15-22 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars is the ruler of Aries)</i>\n\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Neptune alignment in 13.5 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:26am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Monday night (Feb. 26th). </strong>This aspect could take our connection to our intuition even deeper -- if we can allow it.\n\nSpiritual and creative endeavors are highly recommended during this time -- especially those involving music or creative writing. This is definitely a highly imaginative time. As best as you can, go with the flow and -- just for now -- let go of wanting to figure it all out.\n\nThe highest vibration of this aspect is idealistic, highly intuitive and romantic; on a lower level vibration, we might not see reality clearly and we might easily feel overwhelmed. We might get confused or disappointed; things might seem a little foggy, especially when it comes to communication, processing information, public transportation or daily traffic.\n\nCheck in with others before signing any documents or making long-term decisions for those three days: get reality checks! As best as you can, let go and let flow ;-) On the other hand, trust the divine timing of things and have faith that everything will turn out exactly as it needs to.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of  </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces).</i>\n\n<strong>Sunday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Sun/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 12:46pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (Feb. 27th). </strong>This aspect provides an opportunity to become aware of what needs to happen if we are to accomplish something concrete.\n\nWe have common sense at our disposal; we are willing to look reality in the eye and take responsibility for our life and how we live it. This is an opportunity to be more aware of our heart connection to the divine and to our intuitive selves -- and how it can benefit us both in terms of long-term goals, and in what we are focused on in the here and now. Again, remember: opportunities are openings, they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 5-9 degrees</i><b><i> </i></b><i>of </i><b><i>Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>?

Of course, the Eclipse on Thursday threw me for a loop -- it took place in my 4th House. This is the area of home and family...

Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive.

With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday night, </strong><em> </em><i>Jupiter starts to slow down (station) as it reaches 23 degrees of </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Scorpio</strong><i>, preparing for its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. </i>Jupiter will come to a halt on March 8th;<i> </i>its <i>station-phase</i> last <b>until March 20th.</b> We will feel its energy more forcefully during the station-phase.\r\n\r\nWe start to be more fully aware of Jupiter\'s energy; this awareness helps us to get more connected to those energies within us. We get to see where we need to embrace them more fully, so that we can use them in a healthy way, without getting lost in the lower vibrations of their expression.\r\n\r\n<b>Until March 20th</b>, we have to face what this planet is trying to communicate to us: Jupiter represents our desire to seek insight via the gaining of knowledge. Some of this planet\'s keywords: morality, gratitude, hope, honor, law. Jupiter is the planet of possibility, optimism, and growth (including mental and spiritual growth). Jupiter is also associated with a sense of humor, goodwill, and mercy.\r\n\r\nThe lower expressions of Jupiter include \"Oh, the heck with it\", \"I deserve this and more\", \"the rules do not apply to me\" -- generally speaking: too much of a good thing, blind optimism, excess, stretching the truth, overindulgence.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> 21-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Taurus, Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this station phase. This is also true for those of us who have our</i><i> or Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter rules Sagittarius, so Sagittarius will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (February 25th): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><em><i>protective, nurturing</i></em><strong><em><i> </i>Cancer </em>all day </strong>(see Saturday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Venus/Mars aspect </em>becomes exact at 7:01am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday night on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday night (Feb. 27th). </strong>This aspect asks that we stretch ourselves with regard to the feminine/masculine dynamic as it manifests both “inside” and “outside”: A shift needs to occur.\r\n\r\nThis can show up in several ways, either through romantic and sexual tensions that we might experience with others. We may tease each other, flirt with each other and/or play hard to get. Or we may find ourselves arguing in a very passionate way with the opposite sex. Competitiveness, anger, frustration, or angst might be present. Either way, this can be a very passionate time.\r\n\r\nBalancing and integrating masculine and feminine energies within ourselves would be very useful at this time.\r\n\r\nIf we experience these energies internally, there may be a desire for adventure -- or just for being still and \"adventuring\" into ourselves, our heart-space, our inner universe. The challenge might be that we feel pulled in two directions -- on the one hand, we want to feel \"one\" with others and connect to them through love and kindness. On the other hand, we want to be free and explore something new, outside of our familiar environment.\r\n\r\nWhat might it look like, if you made room for both of these energies?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in 15-22 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars is the ruler of Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Neptune alignment in 13.5 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:26am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Monday night (Feb. 26th). </strong>This aspect could take our connection to our intuition even deeper -- if we can allow it.\r\n\r\nSpiritual and creative endeavors are highly recommended during this time -- especially those involving music or creative writing. This is definitely a highly imaginative time. As best as you can, go with the flow and -- just for now -- let go of wanting to figure it all out.\r\n\r\nThe highest vibration of this aspect is idealistic, highly intuitive and romantic; on a lower level vibration, we might not see reality clearly and we might easily feel overwhelmed. We might get confused or disappointed; things might seem a little foggy, especially when it comes to communication, processing information, public transportation or daily traffic.\r\n\r\nCheck in with others before signing any documents or making long-term decisions for those three days: get reality checks! As best as you can, let go and let flow ;-) On the other hand, trust the divine timing of things and have faith that everything will turn out exactly as it needs to.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of  </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Sun/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 12:46pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (Feb. 27th). </strong>This aspect provides an opportunity to become aware of what needs to happen if we are to accomplish something concrete.\r\n\r\nWe have common sense at our disposal; we are willing to look reality in the eye and take responsibility for our life and how we live it. This is an opportunity to be more aware of our heart connection to the divine and to our intuitive selves -- and how it can benefit us both in terms of long-term goals, and in what we are focused on in the here and now. Again, remember: opportunities are openings, they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 5-9 degrees</i><b><i> </i></b><i>of </i><b><i>Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.

On the one hand, I heard \"relax, enjoy, be with what is\" -- this felt very much connected to Venus in Pisces.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, I was quite aware of my past-based patterns, and I practiced being kind to myself and asking questions, rather than dwell on the patterns themselves -- this felt connected to Jupiter in Scorpio. Of course, the Eclipse on Thursday threw me for a loop -- it took place in my 4th House. This is the area of home and family... And there were definitely some unexpected things going on there that had to be addressed.

Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday</strong><strong> </strong><b>morning</b> starts out harmoniously and with an urge to explore something new that helps us understand the bigger picture all around...\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\r\n<strong>WHOOPS!

Doing so during a Solar Eclipse is a little different from the regular monthly New Moon process: we are setting those intentions for the whole 6-month Eclipse cycle, rather than just for the next 28 days.\r\n<b></b></p>\r\nMake them powerful: after all, they cover the next six months -- and if possible, align them with the <b>Aquarian</b> energy I spoke of in my Solar Eclipse video (feel free to watch it again if you need a refresher — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/solar-eclipse-feb-2018/\">click here to watch</a> ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EST (US East Coast-time), and converting timezones isn\'t your thing, I suggest joining my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> and/or following me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">Twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nThis Solar Eclipse reminds us that to be fully alive requires us to constantly stretch, grow, and change. So, while writing your intentions, ask yourself: What would it take for me to release old patterns from the past? How might that free me to create a more powerful vision for the future?\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (February 20th): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><i>pioneering, fast-paced </i><strong><b><i>Aries</i></b></strong><strong><em> </em>until 2:12pm EST </strong>(see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:11am EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for 8 hours, <strong>until 2:12pm EST. </strong>Use this intuitive time to connect to people that can enthusiastically support your projects and share with them what you have going on.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday morning until early afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 2:12pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves</i><b> </b><i>into steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Thursday evening.</strong> We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.\r\n\r\nIn other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (February 21st):</strong> <em>t</em><em>he Moon remains in steady, peaceful</em><strong><em> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> </em>all day </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon,</strong> <i>a Venus/Neptune alignment in 13.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> </i>becomes exact at 1:42pm EST. <b>We started to feel this aspect on Monday night, it will be strong until Friday night</b>. It asks us to dissolve anything that keeps us from opening our hearts more fully. This connection makes us dream of Soul connections with others.\r\n\r\nWe are highly romantic and may turn a blind eye to \"what is\", in pursuit of a fantasy that we want or need to have fulfilled. Beware of anything that sounds too good to be true -- whether that\'s in connection with people or money -- it might indeed be \"too good to be true\" ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Mercury/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 3:23pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning on; it will remain strong until this Thursday. </strong>This is an opportunity to take responsibility for our thinking structures and be really honest with ourselves.\r\n\r\nHow can we get the most from this opportunity? As best as you can, allow your intuitive body to guide you. Commit to understanding your conditioning and thinking processes.\r\n\r\nIf we take this chance to see things more clearly and connect to ourselves more lovingly, we could get a good dose of reality, and an ability to focus on long-term issues. Remember: opportunities are openings; they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 5-9 degrees of <strong>Capricorn, Pisces, Scorpio </strong>or <strong>Taurus</strong>? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (Feb. 22nd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <b><i>Taurus</i></b></em><strong><em> </em>until 7:07pm EST </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 6:46am EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 12.5 hours, <strong>until 7:07pm EST</strong>. Use this intuitive time to balance your desire for comfort and security with your desire for deeper emotional connections with yourself and others.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday Day ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 7:07pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <strong>until Saturday late evening</strong><b>.</b> For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way...\r\n\r\nThe one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-) This Moon placement starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Friday very early morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (Feb. 23rd):</strong> <em>the </em><i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b></strong>(see Thursday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday very early morning, at 3:09am EST, </strong><i>the first Quarter Moon in 4.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> </i>becomes exact (<b>we <strong>started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered <em>Gemini</em> on Thursday evening</strong>). </b>The Moon in chatty, versatile <b>Gemini</b> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in sensitive, compassionate <b>Pisces.</b>\r\n\r\nLast week (Feb. 15th) saw a powerful New Moon/Solar Eclipse. If we set some intentions on Feb. 17th, 18th or 19th, we are now ready to make some adjustments. This is a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum -- in fact, we may feel compelled to act, stirring up anxiety or overwhelm, so just go one breath at a time.\r\n\r\nRemember, we\'re still in Eclipse Season until Sunday, and thus don\'t have all the information we need to move brand-new projects forward yet. Allow for changes, remain flexible and adaptable, find creative solutions in day-to-day interactions with others. Allow for new downloads and for the release of “old” codes and conditioning. Simply put: an open mind and heart will serve us best (that\'s true in general, but especially true until Feb. 25th ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 2-7 degrees of</i><b><i> Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (Feb. 24th): </strong><em>the </em><i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><strong><i> </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b></strong><strong><em> </em>until 10:06pm EST </strong>(see Tuesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 2:58pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 10:06pm EST. </strong>Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday night, </strong><em> </em><i>Jupiter starts to slow down (station) as it reaches 23 degrees of </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Scorpio</strong><i>, preparing for its yearly 4-month retrograde phase. </i>Jupiter will come to a halt on March 8th;<i> </i>its <i>station-phase</i> last <b>until March 20th.</b> We will feel its energy more forcefully during the station-phase.\r\n\r\nWe start to be more fully aware of Jupiter\'s energy; this awareness helps us to get more connected to those energies within us.

Jupiter is also associated with a sense of humor, goodwill, and mercy.\r\n\r\nThe lower expressions of Jupiter include \"Oh, the heck with it\", \"I deserve this and more\", \"the rules do not apply to me\" -- generally speaking: too much of a good thing, blind optimism, excess, stretching the truth, overindulgence.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in</i><i> 21-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Taurus, Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more affected by this station phase.

This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars is the ruler of Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Neptune alignment in 13.5 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:26am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Monday night (Feb. 26th). </strong>This aspect could take our connection to our intuition even deeper -- if we can allow it.\r\n\r\nSpiritual and creative endeavors are highly recommended during this time -- especially those involving music or creative writing. This is definitely a highly imaginative time. As best as you can, go with the flow and -- just for now -- let go of wanting to figure it all out.\r\n\r\nThe highest vibration of this aspect is idealistic, highly intuitive and romantic; on a lower level vibration, we might not see reality clearly and we might easily feel overwhelmed. We might get confused or disappointed; things might seem a little foggy, especially when it comes to communication, processing information, public transportation or daily traffic.\r\n\r\nCheck in with others before signing any documents or making long-term decisions for those three days: get reality checks! As best as you can, let go and let flow ;-) On the other hand, trust the divine timing of things and have faith that everything will turn out exactly as it needs to.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of  </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Sun/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 12:46pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday on; it will remain strong until next week Tuesday (Feb. 27th). </strong>This aspect provides an opportunity to become aware of what needs to happen if we are to accomplish something concrete.\r\n\r\nWe have common sense at our disposal; we are willing to look reality in the eye and take responsibility for our life and how we live it. This is an opportunity to be more aware of our heart connection to the divine and to our intuitive selves -- and how it can benefit us both in terms of long-term goals, and in what we are focused on in the here and now. Again, remember: opportunities are openings, they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 5-9 degrees</i><b><i> </i></b><i>of </i><b><i>Pisces, Capricorn, Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>?

So much water, so many feelings coming up, floods everywhere, both literal or metaphorical, flushing out systems. All I wanted to do was go within and baby myself... and then the first Quarter Moon in Gemini happened on Friday... so it was more about continuously emailing and communicating with everybody instead :-)\n\n<b>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have two quick announcements: </b>\nLast chance to join my <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-live/\">next Forecasting Forum, </a>live this <strong>Friday at 3pm EST</strong> (more details at the very bottom of the blog)… and <em>only one more week</em> before my Weekly Forecasts and my Full Moon videos are only available via my new online community. <strong>For a limited time only,</strong> you can continue receiving all of the wonderful forecasts uninterrupted, for the price of a Cappuccino!

Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.\n\n<strong>Monday at 4:51pm EST, </strong>we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for almost 7 hours, <strong>until 11:42pm EST. </strong>Use this intuitive time to make adjustments and (as best as you can) find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. Make space both for going after your vision and for taking care of emotional or family issues.\n\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday evening ahead of time :-)\n\n<strong>Monday at 11:42pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <b>until Wednesday night/Thursday <strong>very early morning</strong>. </b>We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising.\n\nWe all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-) So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can.\n\nFun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\n\n<strong>Tuesday (Feb. 27th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving </i><strong><b><i>Leo </i>all day </b></strong>(see Monday late evening for details).\n\n<strong>Tuesday early morning</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Pluto aspect </em>becomes exact at 5:20am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Sunday evening on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday evening. </strong>We have an opportunity here, to bring all of our passion to what we value most -- to build something with spiritual or creative value.\n\nThis could be a powerful and passionate time in our romantic relationships. We have the opportunity to build something long-term and bring a good dose of faith to that process. Remember: this is an \"opportunity\" -- opportunities aren\'t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio or Taurus</i></b><i>?

You may also want to plan Wednesday evening/night ahead of time :-)\n\n<strong>Wednesday evening</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Mars aspect </em>becomes exact at 6:56pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning on; it will remain strong until Friday morning. </strong>This aspect<i> </i>brings some juicy energy to our conversations. This is a chance to have some discussions that have been overdue.\n\nAs best as you can, make it a productive discussion that serves you and others -- a win-win -- otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards. Also, watch out on the road for some crazy drivers… rushing might not necessarily get us there faster ;-)\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in </i><i>17-23 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Pisces, Sagittarius,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries)</i>\n\n<strong>Wednesday late evening</strong>, <em>an opportune Mercury/Pluto aspect </em>becomes exact at 11:42pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday morning. </strong>This aspect is an opportunity to deepen or transform areas of our lives that need it.\n\nIt\'s also an opportunity to do more research, so we can build something meaningful, all while learning about our authentic motivations. Remember: opportunities aren\'t on \"automatic\"... we have to go after them, realize them.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point or personal planets in 18-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Taurus</i></b><i>?

We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\n\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<b> </b>This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the</i> <em>Full Moon</em> (exact later this evening).\n\n<strong>Thursday morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 6:22am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday evening on; it will remain strong until this Saturday evening. </strong>Harmony and goodwill reign under this influence. We experience expansive feelings in love and a feeling that anything is possible if we set our sights high enough.\n\nWe are more likely to be friendly, open, and optimistic -- it\'s a great time for winning people\'s trust, making it much easier to make social contacts. We believe in our relationships and we have faith that all is going to work out for the best.\n\nWe might feel an urge to connect to people from other countries or foreign cultures, just to have an adventure, or widen our horizons. Financially, there might be a tendency to spend more than usual, as we feel confident that an abundance of resources is available to us. The thing to watch out for is the feeling that we don\'t have to actually do anything to \"cash in\".\n\nThat said, there are plenty of opportunities to be explored (financial and otherwise), especially in connection with spiritual or creative endeavors, Businesses and partnerships that deal with intimacy or transformational work, with the film, fashion and music industry, with educational businesses or endeavors, or with the travel industry are also highlighted ;-)\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or <b>Cancer</b></i><i>? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\n\nAs mentioned above, the Moon’s entrance<i> </i>into<i> </i><b>Virgo</b> on <strong>Thursday very early morning started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon </i>that will be \"exact\" today</strong><b> (Thursday), at 7:51pm EST, </b><i>in 11 degrees of</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b>.\n\n<em>A Full Moon</em> is always an opposition between the Moon and the Sun. During these oppositions, we seek balance, alignment and integration around two perspectives that seem like polar opposites; very often we experience this (and achieve it) through our interactions with others... so relationships of all kinds are highlighted during Full Moons. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/discernment-from-the-heart/\">Feel free to also watch my video for more</a>\n\nToday, the Moon in <b>Virgo </b>opposes the Sun in <b>Pisces.</b> Virgo seeks physical &amp; practical wholeness; Pisces reminds us of an even greater wholeness — our divinity and interconnectedness with all of life.\n\nVirgo benefits from apprenticeship, whereas Pisces learns to trust inner guidance above all else -- when balanced, we are able to discern without judgment, serve without obligation, and love all of creation, including ourselves. Virgo analyzes, Pisces feels. We are invited to discern what\'s real, so we can make healthier choices.\n\nTo find the <i>balance between </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> and </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, ask yourself: Where do I need to be more selective? Where do I need to be more accepting? How can I tap into my inner knowingness and make practical choices? What if “choosing\" was already (and always) in alignment with divine timing?\n\nAll Full Moons bring awareness to a polarity, and this illuminates the shadow sides of both signs (in this case Virgo and Pisces).\n\nVirgo\'s shadow side is \"Judgement\", as this creates separation from others and a split within ourselves. It closes our heart. It limits our ability to learn. It keeps us stuck in duality, defending our position or attacking others. It\'s showing up when we label things as good or bad, rather than seeing them in terms of useful or unproductive.\n\nWhen we draw on the higher vibrations of Pisces we can more easily connect with the higher vibration of Virgo. Pisces\'s best qualities are compassion, intuitiveness, open-heartedness, inspirational creativity and imagination. At its best, Pisces understands that we are all souls in various states of development, doing the best we can.\n\nThe shadow side of Pisces is a lack of boundaries, ambiguity, escapism, helplessness or victimization; when we draw on the best qualities of Virgo we can move back into the higher vibration of Pisces again. Virgo\'s best qualities are the ability to choose wisely, and discern objectively what works and what doesn\'t.\n\nWhen both sides are integrated well, we have the acuity and sharpness of the mind, united with the wisdom of our heart and our intuitive guidance.\n\nWhat if I could find the synergy between my emotional, intuitive understanding and my rational, scientific understanding? Do I really have to choose between scientific facts and intuitive knowingness... What if I could have both? How might that be possible?\n\nFor the next two weeks, Virgo asks us to become aware of the clutter that is distracting us from our priorities; ask yourself: What in my current daily life is nourishing? And what might be toxic?\n\nVirgo\'s highest vibration is also about Service. To be of service, we must acquire discernment — not judgement, not criticism, not perfectionism, but the ability to focus objectively on what is helpful, and set aside the rest. In order to serve, we have to first realize that we have something to offer.\n\nAsk yourself: What if I didn\'t have to be perfect to be of service? What might I notice if I were 5% more mindful of my inner dialog? What if I brought 5% more compassion to myself? Even to my inner critic?\n\nThe last New Moon (on February 15th) was a Solar Eclipse, signaling the ending and beginning of a 19-year cycle. It shows us what remains to be healed, integrated, or released in order for us to take the next big step on our Soul\'s path.\n\n<i>The Sun, Neptune, Mercury, Venus and Chiron are all in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, drawing us inward, to be in silence and solitude as much as possible. We are to hear the quiet truth of our intuition and release what no longer serves our Soul\'s growth.\n\n<i>The Moon opposes Neptune, and the Sun conjuncts Neptune...</i> Ask yourself: If I\'m honest with myself, what would I notice that feels draining to me, rather than inspiring? What might happen if I surrendered my personal will 5% more to divine will? Could I be open to receiving guidance directly from my higher Self, my Soul-Self? If my feelings had words and could speak, what would they say? What would my dreams say? What message might my intuition have to give me?\n\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>, conjunct Venus (exalted in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>):</i> Everything is made up of energy and therefore interconnected. If we can recognize that we all do the best we can, at any given time, and that on a spiritual level there are no mistakes, only experiences, we can learn about empathy -- and our brain will literally rewire itself towards compassion, rather than criticism.\n\nAsk yourself: What might be possible if I allowed my mind to be just 5% more relaxed? What if I stood in allowing, curiosity, and creative spaciousness? Am I currently using my imagination to inspire or scare myself? Do I have a tendency to go towards the worst case scenarios, or best case scenarios? What might \"love\" choose?\n\n<i>Mercury/Venus alignment also conjuncts Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces --</i></b> this is an opportunity for healing: Chiron, the wounded healer, reminds us that anything can heal through the power of acceptance and love, and that healing happens by reclaiming and re-integrating those parts of ourselves that seem limited or \"imperfect\".\n\nCheck to see: do I feel unloved? Unworthy? Simply not good enough? And if I have those feelings, could I allow them simply to be here, just for right now? Could I be open to the possibility that these feelings are coming up right now, to be acknowledged and released?\n\nCheck to see if you are maybe revisiting themes from late January and from April of last year, when Venus was conjunct Chiron in Pisces. Ask yourself: What was present in my relationships with others back then? Or my relationship with the divine? Did I have any realizations? Any understanding of what needs to heal further?\n\n<i>Mercury/Venus/Chiron alignment trines Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio </i></b><i>(stationing at the time of the FM, therefore exalted).</i> This supports a connection to our emotional/spiritual body.\n\nAsk yourself: How might a deeper, authentic, emotional approach support my connection to my divinity and my related healing process? What new perspectives or higher truths might I find?\n\nIf I looked at my human limitations through the lens of the human-soul alliance, is it at least possible that this would deepen my relationships with others?\n\nWe will also go into Jupiter\'s movement in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the Jupiter Station and Retrograde phase is going to impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up to our own birth charts.\n\nThe next Forum is next week <b>Friday</b>, <b>March 2nd, 2018 at </b>12pm<b> </b>PST/<b> 3pm EST</b>/8pm GMT (London-time). To join for FREE, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/JLFckh\">become a Star or SuperStar Member</a> on my site. For more info about the Forums, or to register as at the regular fee, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">click here</a>\n\n<i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> squares the Mercury/Venus/Chiron alignment in </i><b><i>Pisces.</i></b> Squares always ask us to stretch and grow -- this particular square, with <i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> vs. Mercury/Venus in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>is all about fast vs. slow, extroverted vs. introverted, physical vs. emotional inspiration, impulsive vs. thoughtful, meditative vs. direct, straightforward vs. ambiguous or long-winded. Phew.\n\nAsk yourself: What would it look like if I could walk my talk 5% more, instead of getting caught up in idealized phantasies or dreams? What if I looked within before leaping into action? What daily practice could support my looking before I leap? What if my truths applied to me only? How might this contribute to my inner peace?\n\nThis Full Moon invites us to \"be love\" in thought and action. It also reminds us that our mindfulness and open heart make a difference, not only in our own life, but in the world. Before taking action (or if you are simply feeling ambitious about something) ask yourself: What would love do? What would my heart say, if it had words and could speak?\n\nRather than pushing, over-thinking or giving up, I invite you to conduct small, simple experiments and have faith in universal support…\n\n<b>For the next two weeks</b>, ask yourself: Where is the balance point of intellect and intuition? Striving and surrender? What if I trusted 5% more in the \"perfect\" outcome?\n\n<i>To sum it all up:</i> This Full Moon reminds us that, no matter what chaos, intensity and craziness might be going on outside of us, we have only to look inside to find our truth, to find peace. It’s in our hearts that we\'ll find what matters -- and what we can believe in whole-heartedly. Peace comes from within, from each one of us... We are what we choose to be in every “moment of now”... so choose wisely!\n\nAs best as you can therefore, simply observe like a scientist, from a place of neutrality and curiosity. Notice what serves you in the moment.\n\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/discernment-from-the-heart/\">To learn more about all aspects connected to this month\'s Full Moon, please click here to watch my video</a>\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point, or personal planets in 9-13 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, this month\'s Full Moon will affect you more; the same is true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\n\n<strong>Friday (March 2nd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in</em><em> <i>detail-oriented, practical</i></em><em><i> </i></em><strong><em>Virgo</em> all day </strong>(see Thursday very early morning for details).\n\n<strong>Friday morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Mercury/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 8:05am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on; it will remain strong until this Saturday night. </strong>During this aspect, we are more optimistic. We see the bigger picture, communicate more positively and readily inspire others.\n\nWe are tolerant of other perspectives and ideas, naturally avoid narrow-minded thinking, and feel at ease reconnecting with people from all walks of life. We might be drawn to exploring foreign languages, cultures, spiritual practices and countries. What learning would expand your horizons?\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or <b>Cancer</b></i><i>? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\n\n<strong>Friday at 6:50pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for 8.5 hours, <strong>until 3:20am EST (Saturday very early morning) .</strong> Use this intuitive time to make clear choices when it comes to relating to others.\n\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday evening/night ahead of time :-)\n\n<strong>Saturday (March 3rd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><em><i>detail-oriented, practical </i></em><strong><em>Virgo</em> </strong>and<strong> <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> until 3:20am EST </strong>(see Thursday very early morning for details).\n\n<strong>Saturday at 3:20am EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into harmony-loving, balance-seeking </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>, where<i> </i>it will journey <strong>until Monday morning (March 5th)</strong><b>.</b> The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\n\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\n\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\n\n<strong>Also on Saturday night,</strong> the <em>Jupiter Station intensifies in 23 degrees of <strong>Scorpio, </strong></em>as it is preparing to come to a halt next week Thursday. This station will last <b>until March 20th</b>.\n\nJupiter represents our desire to seek insight through deep knowledge. Some of this planet\'s keywords: morality; gratitude; hope; honor; the law. Jupiter is the planet of possibility, optimism, wisdom, understanding and growth (including mental and spiritual growth). Jupiter is also associated with our <i>sense of humor</i>, generosity, tolerance, goodwill, and mercy (<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/feb-19-25/\">see last week\'s blog entry for more details</a>).\n\n<i>Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 21-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Taurus, Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> will be more affected by this station. This is also true for those of us with their Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\n\n<strong>Sunday (March 4th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking </i><strong><b><i>Libra</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Saturday very early morning for details).\n\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Sun/Neptune alignment in almost 14 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 8:54am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday morning on; it will remain strong until next week Wednesday morning (March 7th) . </strong>This alignment asks that we slow down and go within, allow for all energies to move through us -- being present and compassionate are the higher vibrations of this alignment -- we are more aware than ever that all things are interconnected.\n\nFeeling things -- and allowing everyone (ourselves included) to \"have their feelings\" -- is highly recommended. When we start to resist the flow of life, the flow of feeling, we will create fear and suffering. The remedy is to open our hearts and let love flow through us.\n\nWhen we get quiet and allow ourselves to be still for a moment, we sense our interconnectedness with all living things, our spiritual roots, the sacredness of all.\n\nIf, on the other hand, we are unable to connect to our divine essence, if we focus only on what\'s outside of us, we will feel separate -- and this illusion of separateness might cause us to look for an escape from our harsh \"realities\".\n\nWhat might be possible if we simply let go of fear-based thinking altogether for a moment, and instead simply connected to our wise heart, trusting the perfection of each \"now\" moment? What if we were to let go of all expectations and open our heart to the miracle of life?\n\nThis is about surrendering to the moment of now, to love, to our heart -- not about giving up -- rather, allowing \"what is\" to be ok, to see the perfection of \"right now\".\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 11-17 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b><i>(The Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\n\n<strong>Sunday early afternoon</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Venus alignment in almost 26 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 1:05pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday on; it will remain strong until next week, Thursday evening (March 8th). </strong>This is an excellent time to share about love, compassion, animals, spiritual endeavors, some ideal, music, dreams, meditation techniques -- or anything we feel intuitive connected to -- and also about any teaching endeavors connected to those areas.\n\nThis alignment supports communicating from a compassionate, intuitive heart -- and in fact, it becomes essential to connect to people with whom we feel a strong affinity. We wish to form those connections in a spirit of harmony, sensitivity and equality. In fact, we generally tend to have a strong sense of fairness at this time, and want to be around people who share these values.\n\nWe also thoroughly enjoy the written and spoken word -- literature, wordplay, puns, moving conversations -- especially when the words are imaginative and speak of something romantic, inspiring, spiritual or creative.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Virgo, Gemini, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus  </i></b><i>(Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra)</i>\n\n<strong>Sunday late afternoon</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Chiron alignment in almost 27.5 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 4:25pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday night on; it will remain strong until next week, Tuesday morning (March 7th). </strong>This it allows us to communicate our flaws and insecurities, and thereby begin to heal them.\n\nBringing compassion and understanding to our past wounds can feel very empowering and healing; doing the same for others is going to feel really good. Remember: what you can do for yourself, you can do for others more easily, and vice versa.\n\nAs best as you can, whatever you do <i>or</i> don\'t communicate: cut yourself a little slack. Being human means making mistakes from time to time; there is no shame in that -- we always learn the most from our mistakes -- mistakes are our gold.\n\nDouble-check: does avoiding or judging my past mistakes actually serve me? Or anyone else? Could I be open to the possibility that all \"mistakes\" -- past, present and future -- exist to serve my evolution?  If that were true: what would need reevaluating?\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 24-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

Social situations might feel awkward.\n\nWe may experience emotional triggers, so as best as you can, bring compassion and understanding to yourself, to others, and to those past experiences that wounded you. We need to learn to love ourselves, and heal deep fears of being \"not good enough\". Healing happens much faster when we are open to forgiving and embracing ourselves exactly as we are (and are not).\n\nFor those of you who want to have a better understanding of your personal healing journey, feel free to get the recording of my recent <b>Chiron-workshop: \"Healing with Astrology\" . </b>Join any of my memberships and receive this recording for FREE (value $30):<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\">Click here for more info</a>.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 24-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

You may also want to plan Monday evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 11:42pm EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <b>until Wednesday night/Thursday <strong>very early morning</strong>. </b>We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising.\r\n\r\nWe all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-) So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can.\r\n\r\nFun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun?

We have the opportunity to build something long-term and bring a good dose of faith to that process. Remember: this is an \"opportunity\" -- opportunities aren\'t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio or Taurus</i></b><i>?

You may also want to plan Wednesday evening/night ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday evening</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Mars aspect </em>becomes exact at 6:56pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning on; it will remain strong until Friday morning. </strong>This aspect<i> </i>brings some juicy energy to our conversations. This is a chance to have some discussions that have been overdue.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, make it a productive discussion that serves you and others -- a win-win -- otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards. Also, watch out on the road for some crazy drivers… rushing might not necessarily get us there faster ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in </i><i>17-23 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Pisces, Sagittarius,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late evening</strong>, <em>an opportune Mercury/Pluto aspect </em>becomes exact at 11:42pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday morning. </strong>This aspect is an opportunity to deepen or transform areas of our lives that need it.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also an opportunity to do more research, so we can build something meaningful, all while learning about our authentic motivations. Remember: opportunities aren\'t on \"automatic\"... we have to go after them, realize them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point or personal planets in 18-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Capricorn, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Taurus</i></b><i>?

We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<b> </b>This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the</i> <em>Full Moon</em> (exact later this evening).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 6:22am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday evening on; it will remain strong until this Saturday evening. </strong>Harmony and goodwill reign under this influence. We experience expansive feelings in love and a feeling that anything is possible if we set our sights high enough.\r\n\r\nWe are more likely to be friendly, open, and optimistic -- it\'s a great time for winning people\'s trust, making it much easier to make social contacts. We believe in our relationships and we have faith that all is going to work out for the best.\r\n\r\nWe might feel an urge to connect to people from other countries or foreign cultures, just to have an adventure, or widen our horizons. Financially, there might be a tendency to spend more than usual, as we feel confident that an abundance of resources is available to us. The thing to watch out for is the feeling that we don\'t have to actually do anything to \"cash in\".\r\n\r\nThat said, there are plenty of opportunities to be explored (financial and otherwise), especially in connection with spiritual or creative endeavors, Businesses and partnerships that deal with intimacy or transformational work, with the film, fashion and music industry, with educational businesses or endeavors, or with the travel industry are also highlighted ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or <b>Cancer</b></i><i>? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\nAs mentioned above, the Moon’s entrance<i> </i>into<i> </i><b>Virgo</b> on <strong>Thursday very early morning started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon </i>that will be \"exact\" today</strong><b> (Thursday), at 7:51pm EST, </b><i>in 11 degrees of</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b>.\r\n\r\n<em>A Full Moon</em> is always an opposition between the Moon and the Sun. During these oppositions, we seek balance, alignment and integration around two perspectives that seem like polar opposites; very often we experience this (and achieve it) through our interactions with others... so relationships of all kinds are highlighted during Full Moons. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/discernment-from-the-heart/\">Feel free to also watch my video for more</a>\r\n\r\nToday, the Moon in <b>Virgo </b>opposes the Sun in <b>Pisces.</b> Virgo seeks physical &amp; practical wholeness; Pisces reminds us of an even greater wholeness — our divinity and interconnectedness with all of life.\r\n\r\nVirgo benefits from apprenticeship, whereas Pisces learns to trust inner guidance above all else -- when balanced, we are able to discern without judgment, serve without obligation, and love all of creation, including ourselves. Virgo analyzes, Pisces feels. We are invited to discern what\'s real, so we can make healthier choices.\r\n\r\nTo find the <i>balance between </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> and </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, ask yourself: Where do I need to be more selective? Where do I need to be more accepting? How can I tap into my inner knowingness and make practical choices? What if “choosing\" was already (and always) in alignment with divine timing?\r\n\r\nAll Full Moons bring awareness to a polarity, and this illuminates the shadow sides of both signs (in this case Virgo and Pisces).\r\n\r\nVirgo\'s shadow side is \"Judgement\", as this creates separation from others and a split within ourselves. It closes our heart. It limits our ability to learn. It keeps us stuck in duality, defending our position or attacking others. It\'s showing up when we label things as good or bad, rather than seeing them in terms of useful or unproductive.\r\n\r\nWhen we draw on the higher vibrations of Pisces we can more easily connect with the higher vibration of Virgo. Pisces\'s best qualities are compassion, intuitiveness, open-heartedness, inspirational creativity and imagination. At its best, Pisces understands that we are all souls in various states of development, doing the best we can.\r\n\r\nThe shadow side of Pisces is a lack of boundaries, ambiguity, escapism, helplessness or victimization; when we draw on the best qualities of Virgo we can move back into the higher vibration of Pisces again. Virgo\'s best qualities are the ability to choose wisely, and discern objectively what works and what doesn\'t.\r\n\r\nWhen both sides are integrated well, we have the acuity and sharpness of the mind, united with the wisdom of our heart and our intuitive guidance.\r\n\r\nWhat if I could find the synergy between my emotional, intuitive understanding and my rational, scientific understanding? Do I really have to choose between scientific facts and intuitive knowingness... What if I could have both? How might that be possible?\r\n\r\nFor the next two weeks, Virgo asks us to become aware of the clutter that is distracting us from our priorities; ask yourself: What in my current daily life is nourishing? And what might be toxic?\r\n\r\nVirgo\'s highest vibration is also about Service. To be of service, we must acquire discernment — not judgement, not criticism, not perfectionism, but the ability to focus objectively on what is helpful, and set aside the rest. In order to serve, we have to first realize that we have something to offer.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What if I didn\'t have to be perfect to be of service? What might I notice if I were 5% more mindful of my inner dialog? What if I brought 5% more compassion to myself? Even to my inner critic?\r\n\r\nThe last New Moon (on February 15th) was a Solar Eclipse, signaling the ending and beginning of a 19-year cycle. It shows us what remains to be healed, integrated, or released in order for us to take the next big step on our Soul\'s path.\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun, Neptune, Mercury, Venus and Chiron are all in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>, drawing us inward, to be in silence and solitude as much as possible. We are to hear the quiet truth of our intuition and release what no longer serves our Soul\'s growth.\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon opposes Neptune, and the Sun conjuncts Neptune...</i> Ask yourself: If I\'m honest with myself, what would I notice that feels draining to me, rather than inspiring? What might happen if I surrendered my personal will 5% more to divine will? Could I be open to receiving guidance directly from my higher Self, my Soul-Self? If my feelings had words and could speak, what would they say? What would my dreams say? What message might my intuition have to give me?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>, conjunct Venus (exalted in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>):</i> Everything is made up of energy and therefore interconnected. If we can recognize that we all do the best we can, at any given time, and that on a spiritual level there are no mistakes, only experiences, we can learn about empathy -- and our brain will literally rewire itself towards compassion, rather than criticism.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What might be possible if I allowed my mind to be just 5% more relaxed? What if I stood in allowing, curiosity, and creative spaciousness? Am I currently using my imagination to inspire or scare myself? Do I have a tendency to go towards the worst case scenarios, or best case scenarios? What might \"love\" choose?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury/Venus alignment also conjuncts Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces --</i></b> this is an opportunity for healing: Chiron, the wounded healer, reminds us that anything can heal through the power of acceptance and love, and that healing happens by reclaiming and re-integrating those parts of ourselves that seem limited or \"imperfect\".\r\n\r\nCheck to see: do I feel unloved? Unworthy? Simply not good enough? And if I have those feelings, could I allow them simply to be here, just for right now? Could I be open to the possibility that these feelings are coming up right now, to be acknowledged and released?\r\n\r\nCheck to see if you are maybe revisiting themes from late January and from April of last year, when Venus was conjunct Chiron in Pisces. Ask yourself: What was present in my relationships with others back then? Or my relationship with the divine? Did I have any realizations? Any understanding of what needs to heal further?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury/Venus/Chiron alignment trines Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio </i></b><i>(stationing at the time of the FM, therefore exalted).</i> This supports a connection to our emotional/spiritual body.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How might a deeper, authentic, emotional approach support my connection to my divinity and my related healing process? What new perspectives or higher truths might I find?\r\n\r\nIf I looked at my human limitations through the lens of the human-soul alliance, is it at least possible that this would deepen my relationships with others?\r\n\r\nWe will also go into Jupiter\'s movement in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the Jupiter Station and Retrograde phase is going to impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up to our own birth charts.\r\n\r\nThe next Forum is next week <b>Friday</b>, <b>March 2nd, 2018 at </b>12pm<b> </b>PST/<b> 3pm EST</b>/8pm GMT (London-time). To join for FREE, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/JLFckh\">become a Star or SuperStar Member</a> on my site. For more info about the Forums, or to register as at the regular fee, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">click here</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> squares the Mercury/Venus/Chiron alignment in </i><b><i>Pisces.</i></b> Squares always ask us to stretch and grow -- this particular square, with <i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> vs. Mercury/Venus in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>is all about fast vs. slow, extroverted vs. introverted, physical vs. emotional inspiration, impulsive vs. thoughtful, meditative vs. direct, straightforward vs. ambiguous or long-winded. Phew.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What would it look like if I could walk my talk 5% more, instead of getting caught up in idealized phantasies or dreams? What if I looked within before leaping into action? What daily practice could support my looking before I leap? What if my truths applied to me only? How might this contribute to my inner peace?\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon invites us to \"be love\" in thought and action. It also reminds us that our mindfulness and open heart make a difference, not only in our own life, but in the world. Before taking action (or if you are simply feeling ambitious about something) ask yourself: What would love do? What would my heart say, if it had words and could speak?\r\n\r\nRather than pushing, over-thinking or giving up, I invite you to conduct small, simple experiments and have faith in universal support…\r\n\r\n<b>For the next two weeks</b>, ask yourself: Where is the balance point of intellect and intuition? Striving and surrender? What if I trusted 5% more in the \"perfect\" outcome?\r\n\r\n<i>To sum it all up:</i> This Full Moon reminds us that, no matter what chaos, intensity and craziness might be going on outside of us, we have only to look inside to find our truth, to find peace. It’s in our hearts that we\'ll find what matters -- and what we can believe in whole-heartedly. Peace comes from within, from each one of us... We are what we choose to be in every “moment of now”... so choose wisely!\r\n\r\nAs best as you can therefore, simply observe like a scientist, from a place of neutrality and curiosity. Notice what serves you in the moment.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/discernment-from-the-heart/\">To learn more about all aspects connected to this month\'s Full Moon, please click here to watch my video</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point, or personal planets in 9-13 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, this month\'s Full Moon will affect you more; the same is true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (March 2nd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in</em><em> <i>detail-oriented, practical</i></em><em><i> </i></em><strong><em>Virgo</em> all day </strong>(see Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Mercury/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 8:05am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on; it will remain strong until this Saturday night. </strong>During this aspect, we are more optimistic. We see the bigger picture, communicate more positively and readily inspire others.\r\n\r\nWe are tolerant of other perspectives and ideas, naturally avoid narrow-minded thinking, and feel at ease reconnecting with people from all walks of life. We might be drawn to exploring foreign languages, cultures, spiritual practices and countries. What learning would expand your horizons?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or <b>Cancer</b></i><i>? If so, you will be most blessed by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 6:50pm EST</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for 8.5 hours, <strong>until 3:20am EST (Saturday very early morning) .</strong> Use this intuitive time to make clear choices when it comes to relating to others.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday evening/night ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 3rd): </strong><em>the Moon remains in </em><em><i>detail-oriented, practical </i></em><strong><em>Virgo</em> </strong>and<strong> <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> until 3:20am EST </strong>(see Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 3:20am EST, </strong><i>the Moon moves into harmony-loving, balance-seeking </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>, where<i> </i>it will journey <strong>until Monday morning (March 5th)</strong><b>.</b> The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Saturday night,</strong> the <em>Jupiter Station intensifies in 23 degrees of <strong>Scorpio, </strong></em>as it is preparing to come to a halt next week Thursday. This station will last <b>until March 20th</b>.\r\n\r\nJupiter represents our desire to seek insight through deep knowledge. Some of this planet\'s keywords: morality; gratitude; hope; honor; the law. Jupiter is the planet of possibility, optimism, wisdom, understanding and growth (including mental and spiritual growth). Jupiter is also associated with our <i>sense of humor</i>, generosity, tolerance, goodwill, and mercy (<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/feb-19-25/\">see last week\'s blog entry for more details</a>).\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 21-25 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Taurus, Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> will be more affected by this station. This is also true for those of us with their Ascendent or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Jupiter\'s movements and aspects).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 4th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking </i><strong><b><i>Libra</i></b><i> </i><b>all day </b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Saturday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Sun/Neptune alignment in almost 14 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 8:54am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday morning on; it will remain strong until next week Wednesday morning (March 7th) . </strong>This alignment asks that we slow down and go within, allow for all energies to move through us -- being present and compassionate are the higher vibrations of this alignment -- we are more aware than ever that all things are interconnected.\r\n\r\nFeeling things -- and allowing everyone (ourselves included) to \"have their feelings\" -- is highly recommended. When we start to resist the flow of life, the flow of feeling, we will create fear and suffering. The remedy is to open our hearts and let love flow through us.\r\n\r\nWhen we get quiet and allow ourselves to be still for a moment, we sense our interconnectedness with all living things, our spiritual roots, the sacredness of all.\r\n\r\nIf, on the other hand, we are unable to connect to our divine essence, if we focus only on what\'s outside of us, we will feel separate -- and this illusion of separateness might cause us to look for an escape from our harsh \"realities\".\r\n\r\nWhat might be possible if we simply let go of fear-based thinking altogether for a moment, and instead simply connected to our wise heart, trusting the perfection of each \"now\" moment? What if we were to let go of all expectations and open our heart to the miracle of life?\r\n\r\nThis is about surrendering to the moment of now, to love, to our heart -- not about giving up -- rather, allowing \"what is\" to be ok, to see the perfection of \"right now\".\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 11-17 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b><i>(The Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early afternoon</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Venus alignment in almost 26 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 1:05pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday on; it will remain strong until next week, Thursday evening (March 8th). </strong>This is an excellent time to share about love, compassion, animals, spiritual endeavors, some ideal, music, dreams, meditation techniques -- or anything we feel intuitive connected to -- and also about any teaching endeavors connected to those areas.\r\n\r\nThis alignment supports communicating from a compassionate, intuitive heart -- and in fact, it becomes essential to connect to people with whom we feel a strong affinity. We wish to form those connections in a spirit of harmony, sensitivity and equality. In fact, we generally tend to have a strong sense of fairness at this time, and want to be around people who share these values.\r\n\r\nWe also thoroughly enjoy the written and spoken word -- literature, wordplay, puns, moving conversations -- especially when the words are imaginative and speak of something romantic, inspiring, spiritual or creative.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 23-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Virgo, Gemini, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus  </i></b><i>(Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late afternoon</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Chiron alignment in almost 27.5 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 4:25pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday night on; it will remain strong until next week, Tuesday morning (March 7th). </strong>This it allows us to communicate our flaws and insecurities, and thereby begin to heal them.\r\n\r\nBringing compassion and understanding to our past wounds can feel very empowering and healing; doing the same for others is going to feel really good. Remember: what you can do for yourself, you can do for others more easily, and vice versa.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, whatever you do <i>or</i> don\'t communicate: cut yourself a little slack. Being human means making mistakes from time to time; there is no shame in that -- we always learn the most from our mistakes -- mistakes are our gold.\r\n\r\nDouble-check: does avoiding or judging my past mistakes actually serve me? Or anyone else? Could I be open to the possibility that all \"mistakes\" -- past, present and future -- exist to serve my evolution?  If that were true: what would need reevaluating?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 24-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini </i></b><i>(since Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early evening</strong>, <em>a Venus/Chiron alignment in almost 27.5 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 5:59pm EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Friday morning on; it will remain strong until next week, Wednesday morning (March 7th). </strong>This alignment reminds us of wounds around relationships or our sense of self-worth. Social situations might feel awkward.\r\n\r\nWe may experience emotional triggers, so as best as you can, bring compassion and understanding to yourself, to others, and to those past experiences that wounded you. We need to learn to love ourselves, and heal deep fears of being \"not good enough\". Healing happens much faster when we are open to forgiving and embracing ourselves exactly as we are (and are not).\r\n\r\nFor those of you who want to have a better understanding of your personal healing journey, feel free to get the recording of my recent <b>Chiron-workshop: \"Healing with Astrology\" . </b>Join any of my memberships and receive this recording for FREE (value $30):<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\">Click here for more info</a>.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 24-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 11:36am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 6:44pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan all of Monday afternoon and early evening ahead of time <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 6:44pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Thursday morning</strong><b>.</b> The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius </i>all day </b>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Venus/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 8:39am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. </strong>This aspect<b> </b>asks us to stretch and grow beyond how we\'ve known ourselves in our relationships up to this point -- a process of maturing that requires we adjust and stay flexible.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, we want to make new and passionate connections while enthusiastically engaging with life; on the other hand, we feel a sharp need to focus on what we want to manifest long-term -- what works, what doesn\'t, what are our resources to make it happen, how can we move from A to B without missing anything essential -- in short, to determine what\'s real and can provide us with the best foundation for the next step. Do your best to make space for both of these urges.\r\n\r\nWe tend to be more cautious when it comes to relationships and finances now -- and in fact, this is not the best time to start a brand-new romantic relationship. Financially though, this aspect can be eye-opening; if we can find creative ways to deal with money, we will grow from it.\r\n\r\nThe key is to approach things in both realms with enthusiasm and maturity. Pushing will most likely not get us what we want: better to go one step at a time, slow and steady; that way, we can come back later with a stronger approach and more mature expectations.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><i> 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

That way, should we choose to express desire or anger (or even contempt or disgust), such expressions will feel natural and organic, rather than something that provokes shame.\r\n\r\nWe may experience situations that call forth our initiative and independence -- but may not feel confident that we can rise to the challenge, let alone follow through.

This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\".

It connects us to our spiritual journey, as it represents a reunion with Source/God/the Universe. When at its highest vibration, <b>Pisces </b>unifies all dualities -- it is completely aware of the oneness of all. It tells us there is a union within, that exists always, and we can tap into it.</div>\r\n<div><b> </b></div>\r\n<div><b>Pisces</b> is accepting and aware of its eternal nature. It lovingly allows all, because it knows that there is no real separation between things, that separation only exists in the mind.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>At it\'s lowest vibration however, <strong>Pisces</strong> feels separate, fearful, and victimized. It wants to escape the harsh physical realities of this world. We get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not go within to connect with our inner divinity, when we do not trust ourselves, our inner processes and intuitive Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What stops me from connecting to my inner divinity? What if I opened to the perfection of life? What if I trusted to universal timing? Might plenty of down-time and rest actually support my reconnection with Source-energy or my intuitive Self?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>This New Moon aligns with Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>: this amplifies the message to be conscious of our intuitive/spiritual healing journey -- individually and collectively ;-) We are being invited to forgive our own \"humanness\" and open our hearts. Suppressing or denying our feelings and intuitive gifts is even less recommended now.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>There is no shame in feeling things, in being sensitive, in being imaginative and kind -- not just with the people we love but publicly as well. We are invited to shift our perspective about \"feelings\" and \"being sensitive\", from perceiving it as weakness, to allowing it to be our strength, our gift.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We are invited to embrace all of who we are (including our emotional body), if we are to fully function in this world -- and if we are to create a world that supports all living things equally.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>Chiron will be moving into <strong>Aries</strong> in April,</em> so as best as you can, think back over the last 7 years (while Chiron has been in <strong>Pisces</strong>); <strong>ask yourself:</strong> In what ways have I been able to heal my relationship to the divine? Am I more in touch with my own intuition now vs, then (2011)? What sensitivities or limitations have come up around the feeling-body? What still needs my love, understanding and compassion in those areas of my life?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>If we can shift our perspective from \"failure and blame\" to \"growth and learning\", we have an opportunity here to take a quantum leap forward in our individual and collective evolution. If a mere 5% of us went through a transformation, imagine what that would trigger for all.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Am I going to be one of the 5%? What might shift if I allowed myself to flow with the energetic stream rather than struggle against it? What might be possible if I gave my body and mind the opportunity to slow down, perhaps even get completely quiet at least 5 minutes every day?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Venus, Mercury and Uranus are all in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b>at the time of this New Moon. This brings another dimension to the New Moon chart: an action-oriented and direct approach that supports our inner courage.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Mercury is stationing</i>, preparing to go retrograde on <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1076589851\"><span class=\"aQJ\">March 22nd</span></span> (at 17 degrees of <b>Aries)</b>, and is thus exalted.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>This brings awareness to our day to day thinking, and how we process and share information; we are more impulsive and quick-minded, and may communicate from a place of passion and courage, or anger. We are also more aware of our own inner dialog and how assertive or aggressive it is.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Pay attention to what\'s \"in your face\" right now. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What\'s important to me? Where do I over-think? Where do I act (or react) without thinking? What are my physical and mental impulses telling me? What role does \"passion\" play in all of this?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We also covered this in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the Mercury Station and Retrograde is going to impact you personally, feel free to watch the mp4 video-presentation of our last Forum -- we applied what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/jupiters-optimism-mercurys-mental-dance-from-within/\">Here is an excerpt from the webinar. </a>For the full 90+ min. webinars <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>The Mercury Station and Retrograde</em> invite us to go beyond the conditioning of our mind, our stories, and our script, and to release what is no longer in alignment with our personal goals, our passions, our \"true\" Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What if I tapped into my inner courage? What if I communicated honestly, was fearless, was without apologies? What if I gave myself permission to start fresh? Every day, every moment?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> squares the New Moon and Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>. This might create some restlessness and uneasiness in regards to our healing journey this month. We may feel we are falling behind, become impatient -- easily annoyed, or simply angry at not being where we\'d like to be. We may want to move faster than our emotional/intuitive body is asking us to go at this time -- individually and collectively speaking.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself here</strong>: Am I using my warrior energy to defend my belief systems and view about life, or to explore larger truths? Am I asserting myself so I can walk my own talk, or using my anger to dominate and separate myself further from others?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Is \"knowingness\" a way to make myself feel better about who I am (i.e. to feel superior), or a compass I can use to explore my life further? Are there any beliefs I hold dear that have limited my connection to Source/intuition? What might be possible if I applied a new approach and brought open-heartedness to those scripts?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We may feel triggered by others and may well trigger them. Some of that may feel connected to the past -- something in our history with someone else might be the trigger in question.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>When this happens, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> Is this somehow familiar? Is it possible it\'s historical? What does it remind me of? Am I attached to being \"right\" here? Could I welcome wanting approval, safety or control? What if opening my heart created space for all truths to co-exist side by side? No need for conflict, or right, or wrong... simply a space for all of it to be part of the larger sea of life. What might be possible if compassion were the warrior-energy of our heart?</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\nMars moves into Capricorn only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact; it will play a major role for the rest of March and April.

Allow for all feelings to flow; allow for yourself to be with what is.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Tap into the divinity within through any, some, or all of the following: meditation; being in nature; music; dance; energy healing; dream work; creative writing; art; being with your intuition. In the silence we feel the oneness with all there is, we feel the unconditional love the Universe provides.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Since 2011, when Neptune and Chiron moved into <b>Pisces</b>, we have been becoming more and more aware that we are<b> One. </b>Everything is energy, everything is connected and everything is in a continuous flow/movement. Each of us is like a drop of water, appearing to be individual, yet also a part of the big ocean of life. We are the sum of all parts: physical, spiritual, emotional, mental… and <i>all</i> that exists is part of the whole.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Take 5-minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, to get quiet and be with yourself (your intuitive/feeling Self). What might become possible if you gave this to your body and mind on a regular basis?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What might a healthy connection with the energetic world feel like? What if I were 5% more interested in my inner world? What if I simply embraced whatever I discovered there? Could I simply allow what \"is\" to \"just be\", just for this very moment?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We are invited to take actions that are aligned with intuition, and communicate our boundaries... perhaps even remove ourselves from situations, when that is the loving thing to do.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>In other words: we move with \"all is well\", no matter what the appearance or view looks like, out there in the world. We trust our inner senses. This is something we need to relearn; we are so conditioned to focus on the outside world for answers, to look to our mind-chatter for answers, or to close off and protect ourselves. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What results might I get if I tapped into inner courage, inner sensing/intuition, and the power of compassion... all at the same time?</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><span class=\"im\">Again, feel free to also watch my New Moon video on the subject: <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">youtube.//...</span></span></div>\r\n<div>\r\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\r\n<div class=\"gmail_default\">\r\n<div class=\"yj6qo ajU\">\r\n<div id=\":7xx\" class=\"ajR\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Hide expanded content\" data-tooltip=\"Hide expanded content\"><img class=\"ajT\" src=\"https://ssl.gstatic.com/ui/v1/icons/mail/images/cleardot.gif\" /></div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div class=\"adL\">\r\n<div><i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in one of the following placements: 25-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>?

Finally, as always during VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday morning and afternoon ahead of time. <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon conjuncts Sun in <strong>Pisces</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<strong>Saturday at 12:40pm EDT,</strong> <i>Mars changes signs </i><i>from optimistic, adventurous</i><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> to realistic, prestige-and-accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until May 16th</strong>. For those 8.5 weeks, we tend to feel more determined, goal-oriented and focused. We are not afraid to work hard on attainable goals so that we can see tangible results.\r\n\r\nOur drive to succeed is quite strong, especially when we feel a need for physical and material security — that is, in the realm of all that can be seen and held. Our self-control tends to be quite strong around the expression of \"drives\" -- things like anger, energy, ambition, and sexuality -- in fact, with Mars in Capricorn we are at our least impulsive, with a powerful need to stay in control.\r\n\r\nBecause we have such a strong sense of responsibility, we need to be careful not to start using work to hide from others. Anger can easily get channeled into our work as well. As best as you can, be kind to yourself, remember we all do the best we can; there is no need for extra pressure.\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more focused and determent. You may want to get down to business. If you are a </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 8.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 2:57pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><b><i>,</i></b> where it will journey <b><strong>until Monday evening</strong></b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday after 2:57pm EDT, </b>it\'s time to start setting your Intentions of this Moon cycle.<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/TijxuK\">https://goo.gl/TijxuK</a><i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 18th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries </i>all day</b> (see Saturday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday night/Sunday very early morning</b> <i>Mercury starts its station-phase</i>. From<b> today on, </b>right through<b> March 29th.</b> <i>Mercury slows down tremendously</i><i>,</i> as it prepares to come to a halt before turning retrograde on March 22nd. During the station, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments during the retrograde -- or the shadow phase that follows.\r\n\r\nFor the next 12 days, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait until after May 3rd, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">14-19 degrees</span> of <strong>Aries</strong></i><b><i>, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday evening,</strong> <em>a Sun/Chiron alignment in 28 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:15pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Wednesday evening (March 21st). </strong>This gives us an opportunity to heal insecurities or shame through conscious awareness.\r\n\r\nBecoming aware of old wounds or limitations is the first step toward healing them. Bringing compassion, self-acceptance, and love to it is the second. Together, steps one and two make for a beautiful healing experience.\r\n\r\nIt will help to stay grounded — connected to the Earth and your body. If waves of feeling come up, let them, simply observe the waves. Ask yourself: Am I the \"wave\" or am I more than that? As best as you can, allow all \"waves\" to wash ashore, and allow yourself to rest as the vastness that you are (just like the ocean is to the waves).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 25-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of <strong>Aries, Libra, Cancer</strong> or <strong>Capricorn</strong></i><i>?

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 11:36am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 6:44pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan all of Monday afternoon and early evening ahead of time <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 6:44pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Thursday morning</strong><b>.</b> The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius </i>all day </b>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Venus/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 8:39am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. </strong>This aspect<b> </b>asks us to stretch and grow beyond how we\'ve known ourselves in our relationships up to this point -- a process of maturing that requires we adjust and stay flexible.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, we want to make new and passionate connections while enthusiastically engaging with life; on the other hand, we feel a sharp need to focus on what we want to manifest long-term -- what works, what doesn\'t, what are our resources to make it happen, how can we move from A to B without missing anything essential -- in short, to determine what\'s real and can provide us with the best foundation for the next step. Do your best to make space for both of these urges.\r\n\r\nWe tend to be more cautious when it comes to relationships and finances now -- and in fact, this is not the best time to start a brand-new romantic relationship. Financially though, this aspect can be eye-opening; if we can find creative ways to deal with money, we will grow from it.\r\n\r\nThe key is to approach things in both realms with enthusiasm and maturity. Pushing will most likely not get us what we want: better to go one step at a time, slow and steady; that way, we can come back later with a stronger approach and more mature expectations.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><i> 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late afternoon,</strong> <em>a harmonious Sun/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 4:06pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Friday. </strong>It’s an opportunity to see things from a different perspective. What will lead us to this new vantage point?\r\n\r\nOptimism, an open mind, an open heart: Follow your enthusiasm as if it were a wilderness guide — and let yourself be creative and free, especially with or around other people.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 14th): <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b></strong><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Mars/Chiron aspect </em>becomes exact at 2:10am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Thursday night (March 8th) on; it will remain strong until next week Monday (March 19th). </strong>This aspect challenges us to see our own attachments and aversions as a normal, perhaps even valid, part of being human. That way, should we choose to express desire or anger (or even contempt or disgust), such expressions will feel natural and organic, rather than something that provokes shame.\r\n\r\nWe may experience situations that call forth our initiative and independence -- but may not feel confident that we can rise to the challenge, let alone follow through. As best as you can, when the challenge comes: Get into action, feel the excitement that comes with stepping out of the familiar. Ask yourself: What would my hero do?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 25-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or 0-1 degree of <strong>Capricorn, Aries, Cancer,</strong> or <strong>Libra</strong></i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\"> </b><i>will feel most affected by this aspect.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 15th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><strong> until 6:12am EDT</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 3:32am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 2.5 hours, <strong>until 6:12am EDT</strong>. If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it as an opportunity to explore larger truths and your own life further.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday early morning ahead of time <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon sextiles Mars in <strong>Sagittarius</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 6:12am EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><b><i>, </i></b>where it will journey <strong>until Saturday afternoon</strong>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.<b> </b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday: </strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday morning for details).</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Friday late morning,</b> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours. <span style=\"color: #993300;\"><i>(Moon in Pisces conjunct Neptune in Pisces <em>9:46am EDT</em> -- post at 8am EDT)</i><em> </em></span>\r\n\r\n<b>Friday, late in the evening, </b>we have the opportunity to be guided by inspiration, and fully commit to a project or task that might serve us long-term. As best as you can, listen and trust to the subtle messages in your heart, that stir you towards success. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">(<em>Moon in <strong>Pisces</strong> sextiles Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong> at 10:09pm EDT -- post at 8pm EDT)</em></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 17th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><strong> until 2:57pm EDT</strong> (see Thursday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<span class=\"im\"><b><span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1076589850\"><span class=\"aQJ\">Saturday at 9:11am EDT</span></span>,</b><i> the</i> <i>Moon will align with the Sun in almost 27 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces;</i></b> this marks the beginning of a <em>new Moon cycle</em>.

It connects us to our spiritual journey, as it represents a reunion with Source/God/the Universe. When at its highest vibration, <b>Pisces </b>unifies all dualities -- it is completely aware of the oneness of all. It tells us there is a union within, that exists always, and we can tap into it.</div>\r\n<div><b> </b></div>\r\n<div><b>Pisces</b> is accepting and aware of its eternal nature. It lovingly allows all, because it knows that there is no real separation between things, that separation only exists in the mind.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>At it\'s lowest vibration however, <strong>Pisces</strong> feels separate, fearful, and victimized. It wants to escape the harsh physical realities of this world. We get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not go within to connect with our inner divinity, when we do not trust ourselves, our inner processes and intuitive Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What stops me from connecting to my inner divinity? What if I opened to the perfection of life? What if I trusted to universal timing? Might plenty of down-time and rest actually support my reconnection with Source-energy or my intuitive Self?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>This New Moon aligns with Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>: this amplifies the message to be conscious of our intuitive/spiritual healing journey -- individually and collectively ;-) We are being invited to forgive our own \"humanness\" and open our hearts. Suppressing or denying our feelings and intuitive gifts is even less recommended now.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>There is no shame in feeling things, in being sensitive, in being imaginative and kind -- not just with the people we love but publicly as well. We are invited to shift our perspective about \"feelings\" and \"being sensitive\", from perceiving it as weakness, to allowing it to be our strength, our gift.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We are invited to embrace all of who we are (including our emotional body), if we are to fully function in this world -- and if we are to create a world that supports all living things equally.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>Chiron will be moving into <strong>Aries</strong> in April,</em> so as best as you can, think back over the last 7 years (while Chiron has been in <strong>Pisces</strong>); <strong>ask yourself:</strong> In what ways have I been able to heal my relationship to the divine? Am I more in touch with my own intuition now vs, then (2011)? What sensitivities or limitations have come up around the feeling-body? What still needs my love, understanding and compassion in those areas of my life?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>If we can shift our perspective from \"failure and blame\" to \"growth and learning\", we have an opportunity here to take a quantum leap forward in our individual and collective evolution. If a mere 5% of us went through a transformation, imagine what that would trigger for all.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Am I going to be one of the 5%? What might shift if I allowed myself to flow with the energetic stream rather than struggle against it? What might be possible if I gave my body and mind the opportunity to slow down, perhaps even get completely quiet at least 5 minutes every day?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Venus, Mercury and Uranus are all in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b>at the time of this New Moon. This brings another dimension to the New Moon chart: an action-oriented and direct approach that supports our inner courage.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Mercury is stationing</i>, preparing to go retrograde on <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1076589851\"><span class=\"aQJ\">March 22nd</span></span> (at 17 degrees of <b>Aries)</b>, and is thus exalted.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>This brings awareness to our day to day thinking, and how we process and share information; we are more impulsive and quick-minded, and may communicate from a place of passion and courage, or anger. We are also more aware of our own inner dialog and how assertive or aggressive it is.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Pay attention to what\'s \"in your face\" right now. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What\'s important to me? Where do I over-think? Where do I act (or react) without thinking? What are my physical and mental impulses telling me? What role does \"passion\" play in all of this?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We also covered this in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the Mercury Station and Retrograde is going to impact you personally, feel free to watch the mp4 video-presentation of our last Forum -- we applied what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/jupiters-optimism-mercurys-mental-dance-from-within/\">Here is an excerpt from the webinar. </a>For the full 90+ min. webinars <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>The Mercury Station and Retrograde</em> invite us to go beyond the conditioning of our mind, our stories, and our script, and to release what is no longer in alignment with our personal goals, our passions, our \"true\" Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What if I tapped into my inner courage? What if I communicated honestly, was fearless, was without apologies? What if I gave myself permission to start fresh? Every day, every moment?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> squares the New Moon and Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>. This might create some restlessness and uneasiness in regards to our healing journey this month. We may feel we are falling behind, become impatient -- easily annoyed, or simply angry at not being where we\'d like to be. We may want to move faster than our emotional/intuitive body is asking us to go at this time -- individually and collectively speaking.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself here</strong>: Am I using my warrior energy to defend my belief systems and view about life, or to explore larger truths? Am I asserting myself so I can walk my own talk, or using my anger to dominate and separate myself further from others?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Is \"knowingness\" a way to make myself feel better about who I am (i.e. to feel superior), or a compass I can use to explore my life further? Are there any beliefs I hold dear that have limited my connection to Source/intuition? What might be possible if I applied a new approach and brought open-heartedness to those scripts?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We may feel triggered by others and may well trigger them. Some of that may feel connected to the past -- something in our history with someone else might be the trigger in question.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>When this happens, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> Is this somehow familiar? Is it possible it\'s historical? What does it remind me of? Am I attached to being \"right\" here? Could I welcome wanting approval, safety or control? What if opening my heart created space for all truths to co-exist side by side? No need for conflict, or right, or wrong... simply a space for all of it to be part of the larger sea of life. What might be possible if compassion were the warrior-energy of our heart?</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\nMars moves into Capricorn only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact; it will play a major role for the rest of March and April. If you want to know how all of this is going to impact you personally, feel free to join the next Forecasting Forum -- we will go into Mars\'s involvement with Saturn, and with Pluto\'s Station and Retrograde phases in more detail -- and apply that insight to our own birth charts.\r\n\r\nThe next Forum will be on <b>Monday</b>, <b>April 2nd, 2018 at </b>10am<b> </b>PST/<b> 1pm EDT</b>/6pm BST (London-time). For more info or to register, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">click here</a>: https://goo.gl/wrs4H3.

Allow for all feelings to flow; allow for yourself to be with what is.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Tap into the divinity within through any, some, or all of the following: meditation; being in nature; music; dance; energy healing; dream work; creative writing; art; being with your intuition. In the silence we feel the oneness with all there is, we feel the unconditional love the Universe provides.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Since 2011, when Neptune and Chiron moved into <b>Pisces</b>, we have been becoming more and more aware that we are<b> One. </b>Everything is energy, everything is connected and everything is in a continuous flow/movement. Each of us is like a drop of water, appearing to be individual, yet also a part of the big ocean of life. We are the sum of all parts: physical, spiritual, emotional, mental… and <i>all</i> that exists is part of the whole.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Take 5-minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, to get quiet and be with yourself (your intuitive/feeling Self). What might become possible if you gave this to your body and mind on a regular basis?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What might a healthy connection with the energetic world feel like? What if I were 5% more interested in my inner world? What if I simply embraced whatever I discovered there?

We trust our inner senses. This is something we need to relearn; we are so conditioned to focus on the outside world for answers, to look to our mind-chatter for answers, or to close off and protect ourselves. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What results might I get if I tapped into inner courage, inner sensing/intuition, and the power of compassion... all at the same time?</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><span class=\"im\">Again, feel free to also watch my New Moon video on the subject: <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">youtube.//...</span></span></div>\r\n<div>\r\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\r\n<div class=\"gmail_default\">\r\n<div class=\"yj6qo ajU\">\r\n<div id=\":7xx\" class=\"ajR\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Hide expanded content\" data-tooltip=\"Hide expanded content\"><img class=\"ajT\" src=\"https://ssl.gstatic.com/ui/v1/icons/mail/images/cleardot.gif\" /></div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div class=\"adL\">\r\n<div><i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in one of the following placements: 25-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>?

Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <strong><i>not</i> </strong>during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions</i> would be <b>between 2:47pm EDT today (March 17th) and 9:11am EDT Monday morning (March 19th).</b>\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EDT (US East Coast-time), feel free to join my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a>: <span style=\"color: #993300;\">www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis</span> <i>or</i> follow me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">twitter</a>: <span style=\"color: #993300;\">www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis</span>. I will be posting reminders on Saturday afternoon, Sunday throughout the day, and Monday morning to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nPart of the reason for this is that on<strong> Saturday at 9:12am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 5.5 hours, <strong>until 2:57pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to go within and meditate or pray/give thanks/converse with your higher Self.\r\n\r\nThis will support us in feeling connected to our inner Universe -- and of course, it will be a tremendous help in healing our emotional wounds. Finally, as always during VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday morning and afternoon ahead of time. <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon conjuncts Sun in <strong>Pisces</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<strong>Saturday at 12:40pm EDT,</strong> <i>Mars changes signs </i><i>from optimistic, adventurous</i><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> to realistic, prestige-and-accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until May 16th</strong>. For those 8.5 weeks, we tend to feel more determined, goal-oriented and focused. We are not afraid to work hard on attainable goals so that we can see tangible results.\r\n\r\nOur drive to succeed is quite strong, especially when we feel a need for physical and material security — that is, in the realm of all that can be seen and held. Our self-control tends to be quite strong around the expression of \"drives\" -- things like anger, energy, ambition, and sexuality -- in fact, with Mars in Capricorn we are at our least impulsive, with a powerful need to stay in control.\r\n\r\nBecause we have such a strong sense of responsibility, we need to be careful not to start using work to hide from others. Anger can easily get channeled into our work as well. As best as you can, be kind to yourself, remember we all do the best we can; there is no need for extra pressure.\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more focused and determent. You may want to get down to business. If you are a </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 8.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 2:57pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><b><i>,</i></b> where it will journey <b><strong>until Monday evening</strong></b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday after 2:57pm EDT, </b>it\'s time to start setting your Intentions of this Moon cycle.<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/TijxuK\">https://goo.gl/TijxuK</a><i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 18th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries </i>all day</b> (see Saturday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday night/Sunday very early morning</b> <i>Mercury starts its station-phase</i>. From<b> today on, </b>right through<b> March 29th.</b> <i>Mercury slows down tremendously</i><i>,</i> as it prepares to come to a halt before turning retrograde on March 22nd. During the station, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments during the retrograde -- or the shadow phase that follows.\r\n\r\nFor the next 12 days, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait until after May 3rd, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">14-19 degrees</span> of <strong>Aries</strong></i><b><i>, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday evening,</strong> <em>a Sun/Chiron alignment in 28 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:15pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Wednesday evening (March 21st). </strong>This gives us an opportunity to heal insecurities or shame through conscious awareness.\r\n\r\nBecoming aware of old wounds or limitations is the first step toward healing them. Bringing compassion, self-acceptance, and love to it is the second. Together, steps one and two make for a beautiful healing experience.\r\n\r\nIt will help to stay grounded — connected to the Earth and your body. If waves of feeling come up, let them, simply observe the waves. Ask yourself: Am I the \"wave\" or am I more than that? As best as you can, allow all \"waves\" to wash ashore, and allow yourself to rest as the vastness that you are (just like the ocean is to the waves).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 25-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of <strong>Aries, Libra, Cancer</strong> or <strong>Capricorn</strong></i><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso, <b>Sunday all day: </b>If you haven\'t gotten around to it yet,<i> </i><i>set your Intentions</i> for this Moon cycle...

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 11:36am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 6:44pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan all of Monday afternoon and early evening ahead of time\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 6:44pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Thursday morning</strong><b>.</b> The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius </i>all day </b>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Venus/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 8:39am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. </strong>This aspect<b> </b>asks us to stretch and grow beyond how we\'ve known ourselves in our relationships up to this point -- a process of maturing that requires we adjust and stay flexible.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, we want to make new and passionate connections while enthusiastically engaging with life; on the other hand, we feel a sharp need to focus on what we want to manifest long-term -- what works, what doesn\'t, what are our resources to make it happen, how can we move from A to B without missing anything essential -- in short, to determine what\'s real and can provide us with the best foundation for the next step. Do your best to make space for both of these urges.\r\n\r\nWe tend to be more cautious when it comes to relationships and finances now -- and in fact, this is not the best time to start a brand-new romantic relationship. Financially though, this aspect can be eye-opening; if we can find creative ways to deal with money, we will grow from it.\r\n\r\nThe key is to approach things in both realms with enthusiasm and maturity. Pushing will most likely not get us what we want: better to go one step at a time, slow and steady; that way, we can come back later with a stronger approach and more mature expectations.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><i> 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late afternoon,</strong> <em>a harmonious Sun/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 4:06pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Friday. </strong>It’s an opportunity to see things from a different perspective. What will lead us to this new vantage point?\r\n\r\nOptimism, an open mind, an open heart: Follow your enthusiasm as if it were a wilderness guide — and let yourself be creative and free, especially with or around other people.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 14th): <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b></strong><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Mars/Chiron aspect </em>becomes exact at 2:10am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Thursday night (March 8th) on; it will remain strong until next week Monday (March 19th). </strong>This aspect challenges us to see our own attachments and aversions as a normal, perhaps even valid, part of being human. That way, should we choose to express desire or anger (or even contempt or disgust), such expressions will feel natural and organic, rather than something that provokes shame.\r\n\r\nWe may experience situations that call forth our initiative and independence -- but may not feel confident that we can rise to the challenge, let alone follow through. As best as you can, when the challenge comes: Get into action, feel the excitement that comes with stepping out of the familiar. Ask yourself: What would my hero do?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 25-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or 0-1 degree of <strong>Capricorn, Aries, Cancer,</strong> or <strong>Libra</strong></i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\"> </b><i>will feel most affected by this aspect.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 15th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><strong> until 6:12am EDT</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 3:32am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 2.5 hours, <strong>until 6:12am EDT</strong>. If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it as an opportunity to explore larger truths and your own life further.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday early morning ahead of time\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 6:12am EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><b><i>, </i></b>where it will journey <strong>until Saturday afternoon</strong>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.<b> </b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday: </strong><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Friday late morning,</b> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours.\r\n\r\n<b>Friday, late in the evening, </b>we have the opportunity to be guided by inspiration, and fully commit to a project or task that might serve us long-term. As best as you can, listen and trust to the subtle messages in your heart, that stir you towards success.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 17th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><strong> until 2:57pm EDT</strong> (see Thursday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<span class=\"im\"><b><span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1076589850\"><span class=\"aQJ\">Saturday at 9:11am EDT</span></span>,</b><i> the</i> <i>Moon will align with the Sun in almost 27 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces;</i></b> this marks the beginning of a <em>new Moon cycle</em>.

It connects us to our spiritual journey, as it represents a reunion with Source/God/the Universe. When at its highest vibration, <b>Pisces </b>unifies all dualities -- it is completely aware of the oneness of all. It tells us there is a union within, that exists always, and we can tap into it.</div>\r\n<div><b> </b></div>\r\n<div><b>Pisces</b> is accepting and aware of its eternal nature. It lovingly allows all, because it knows that there is no real separation between things, that separation only exists in the mind.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>At it\'s lowest vibration however, <strong>Pisces</strong> feels separate, fearful, and victimized. It wants to escape the harsh physical realities of this world. We get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not go within to connect with our inner divinity, when we do not trust ourselves, our inner processes and intuitive Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What stops me from connecting to my inner divinity? What if I opened to the perfection of life? What if I trusted to universal timing? Might plenty of down-time and rest actually support my reconnection with Source-energy or my intuitive Self?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>This New Moon aligns with Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>: this amplifies the message to be conscious of our intuitive/spiritual healing journey -- individually and collectively ;-) We are being invited to forgive our own \"humanness\" and open our hearts. Suppressing or denying our feelings and intuitive gifts is even less recommended now.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>There is no shame in feeling things, in being sensitive, in being imaginative and kind -- not just with the people we love but publicly as well. We are invited to shift our perspective about \"feelings\" and \"being sensitive\", from perceiving it as weakness, to allowing it to be our strength, our gift.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We are invited to embrace all of who we are (including our emotional body), if we are to fully function in this world -- and if we are to create a world that supports all living things equally.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>Chiron will be moving into <strong>Aries</strong> in April,</em> so as best as you can, think back over the last 7 years (while Chiron has been in <strong>Pisces</strong>); <strong>ask yourself:</strong> In what ways have I been able to heal my relationship to the divine? Am I more in touch with my own intuition now vs, then (2011)? What sensitivities or limitations have come up around the feeling-body? What still needs my love, understanding and compassion in those areas of my life?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>If we can shift our perspective from \"failure and blame\" to \"growth and learning\", we have an opportunity here to take a quantum leap forward in our individual and collective evolution. If a mere 5% of us went through a transformation, imagine what that would trigger for all.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Am I going to be one of the 5%? What might shift if I allowed myself to flow with the energetic stream rather than struggle against it? What might be possible if I gave my body and mind the opportunity to slow down, perhaps even get completely quiet at least 5 minutes every day?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Venus, Mercury and Uranus are all in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b>at the time of this New Moon. This brings another dimension to the New Moon chart: an action-oriented and direct approach that supports our inner courage.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Mercury is stationing</i>, preparing to go retrograde on <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1076589851\"><span class=\"aQJ\">March 22nd</span></span> (at 17 degrees of <b>Aries)</b>, and is thus exalted.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>This brings awareness to our day to day thinking, and how we process and share information; we are more impulsive and quick-minded, and may communicate from a place of passion and courage, or anger. We are also more aware of our own inner dialog and how assertive or aggressive it is.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Pay attention to what\'s \"in your face\" right now. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What\'s important to me? Where do I over-think? Where do I act (or react) without thinking? What are my physical and mental impulses telling me? What role does \"passion\" play in all of this?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We also covered this in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the Mercury Station and Retrograde is going to impact you personally, feel free to watch the mp4 video-presentation of our last Forum -- we applied what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/jupiters-optimism-mercurys-mental-dance-from-within/\">Here is an excerpt from the webinar. </a>For the full 90+ min. webinars <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>The Mercury Station and Retrograde</em> invite us to go beyond the conditioning of our mind, our stories, and our script, and to release what is no longer in alignment with our personal goals, our passions, our \"true\" Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What if I tapped into my inner courage? What if I communicated honestly, was fearless, was without apologies? What if I gave myself permission to start fresh? Every day, every moment?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> squares the New Moon and Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>. This might create some restlessness and uneasiness in regards to our healing journey this month. We may feel we are falling behind, become impatient -- easily annoyed, or simply angry at not being where we\'d like to be. We may want to move faster than our emotional/intuitive body is asking us to go at this time -- individually and collectively speaking.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself here</strong>: Am I using my warrior energy to defend my belief systems and view about life, or to explore larger truths? Am I asserting myself so I can walk my own talk, or using my anger to dominate and separate myself further from others?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Is \"knowingness\" a way to make myself feel better about who I am (i.e. to feel superior), or a compass I can use to explore my life further? Are there any beliefs I hold dear that have limited my connection to Source/intuition? What might be possible if I applied a new approach and brought open-heartedness to those scripts?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We may feel triggered by others and may well trigger them. Some of that may feel connected to the past -- something in our history with someone else might be the trigger in question.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>When this happens, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> Is this somehow familiar? Is it possible it\'s historical? What does it remind me of? Am I attached to being \"right\" here? Could I welcome wanting approval, safety or control? What if opening my heart created space for all truths to co-exist side by side? No need for conflict, or right, or wrong... simply a space for all of it to be part of the larger sea of life. What might be possible if compassion were the warrior-energy of our heart?</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n<em>Mars moves into <strong>Capricorn</strong> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact</em>; it will play a major role for the rest of March and April. If you want to know how all of this is going to impact you personally, feel free to join the next Forecasting Forum -- we will go into Mars\'s involvement with Saturn, and with Pluto\'s Station and Retrograde phases in more detail -- and apply that insight to our own birth charts.\r\n\r\nThe next Forum will be on <b>Monday</b>, <b>April 2nd, 2018 at </b>10am<b> </b>PST/<b> 1pm EDT</b>/6pm BST (London-time). For more info or to register, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">click here</a>.

Allow for all feelings to flow; allow for yourself to be with what is.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Tap into the divinity within through any, some, or all of the following: meditation; being in nature; music; dance; energy healing; dream work; creative writing; art; being with your intuition. In the silence we feel the oneness with all there is, we feel the unconditional love the Universe provides.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Since 2011, when Neptune and Chiron moved into <b>Pisces</b>, we have been becoming more and more aware that we are<b> One. </b>Everything is energy, everything is connected and everything is in a continuous flow/movement. Each of us is like a drop of water, appearing to be individual, yet also a part of the big ocean of life. We are the sum of all parts: physical, spiritual, emotional, mental… and <i>all</i> that exists is part of the whole.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Take 5-minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, to get quiet and be with yourself (your intuitive/feeling Self). What might become possible if you gave this to your body and mind on a regular basis?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What might a healthy connection with the energetic world feel like? What if I were 5% more interested in my inner world? What if I simply embraced whatever I discovered there? Could I simply allow what \"is\" to \"just be\", just for this very moment?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We are invited to take actions that are aligned with intuition, and communicate our boundaries... perhaps even remove ourselves from situations, when that is the loving thing to do.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>In other words: we move with \"all is well\", no matter what the appearance or view looks like, out there in the world. We trust our inner senses. This is something we need to relearn; we are so conditioned to focus on the outside world for answers, to look to our mind-chatter for answers, or to close off and protect ourselves. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What results might I get if I tapped into inner courage, inner sensing/intuition, and the power of compassion... all at the same time?</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><span class=\"im\">Again, feel free to also watch my New Moon video on the subject: <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">youtube.//...</span></span></div>\r\n<div>\r\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\r\n<div class=\"gmail_default\">\r\n<div class=\"yj6qo ajU\">\r\n<div id=\":7xx\" class=\"ajR\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Hide expanded content\" data-tooltip=\"Hide expanded content\"><img class=\"ajT\" src=\"https://ssl.gstatic.com/ui/v1/icons/mail/images/cleardot.gif\" /></div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div class=\"adL\">\r\n<div><i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in one of the following placements: 25-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel the effects of this extra-powerful New Moon more strongly for the next 6 months. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Cancer </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i></div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to <i>set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle</i>. Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <strong><i>not</i> </strong>during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions</i> would be <b>between 2:47pm EDT today (March 17th) and 9:11am EDT Monday morning (March 19th).</b>\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EDT (US East Coast-time), feel free to join my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> <i>or</i> follow me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders on Saturday afternoon, Sunday throughout the day, and Monday morning to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nPart of the reason for this is that on<strong> Saturday at 9:12am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 5.5 hours, <strong>until 2:57pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to go within and meditate or pray/give thanks/converse with your higher Self.\r\n\r\nThis will support us in feeling connected to our inner Universe -- and of course, it will be a tremendous help in healing our emotional wounds. Finally, as always during VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday morning and afternoon ahead of time.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<strong>Saturday at 12:40pm EDT,</strong> <i>Mars changes signs </i><i>from optimistic, adventurous</i><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> to realistic, prestige-and-accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until May 16th</strong>. For those 8.5 weeks, we tend to feel more determined, goal-oriented and focused. We are not afraid to work hard on attainable goals so that we can see tangible results.\r\n\r\nOur drive to succeed is quite strong, especially when we feel a need for physical and material security — that is, in the realm of all that can be seen and held. Our self-control tends to be quite strong around the expression of \"drives\" -- things like anger, energy, ambition, and sexuality -- in fact, with Mars in Capricorn we are at our least impulsive, with a powerful need to stay in control.\r\n\r\nBecause we have such a strong sense of responsibility, we need to be careful not to start using work to hide from others. Anger can easily get channeled into our work as well. As best as you can, be kind to yourself, remember we all do the best we can; there is no need for extra pressure.\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more focused and determent. You may want to get down to business. If you are a </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 8.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 2:57pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><b><i>,</i></b> where it will journey <b><strong>until Monday evening</strong></b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday after 2:57pm EDT, </b>it\'s time to start setting your Intentions of this Moon cycle.<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here</a><i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 18th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries </i>all day</b> (see Saturday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday night/Sunday very early morning</b> <i>Mercury starts its station-phase</i>. From<b> today on, </b>right through<b> March 29th.</b> <i>Mercury slows down tremendously</i><i>,</i> as it prepares to come to a halt before turning retrograde on March 22nd. During the station, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments during the retrograde -- or the shadow phase that follows.\r\n\r\nFor the next 12 days, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait until after May 3rd, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 14-19 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></i><b><i>, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday evening,</strong> <em>a Sun/Chiron alignment in 28 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:15pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Wednesday evening (March 21st). </strong>This gives us an opportunity to heal insecurities or shame through conscious awareness.\r\n\r\nBecoming aware of old wounds or limitations is the first step toward healing them. Bringing compassion, self-acceptance, and love to it is the second. Together, steps one and two make for a beautiful healing experience.\r\n\r\nIt will help to stay grounded — connected to the Earth and your body. If waves of feeling come up, let them, simply observe the waves. Ask yourself: Am I the \"wave\" or am I more than that? As best as you can, allow all \"waves\" to wash ashore, and allow yourself to rest as the vastness that you are (just like the ocean is to the waves).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 25-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of <strong>Aries, Libra, Cancer</strong> or <strong>Capricorn</strong></i><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso, <b>Sunday all day: </b>If you haven\'t gotten around to it yet,<i> </i><i>set your Intentions</i> for this Moon cycle...

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 11:36am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 6:44pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan all of Monday afternoon and early evening ahead of time\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 6:44pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Thursday morning</strong><b>.</b> The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius </i>all day </b>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Venus/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 8:39am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. </strong>This aspect<b> </b>asks us to stretch and grow beyond how we\'ve known ourselves in our relationships up to this point -- a process of maturing that requires we adjust and stay flexible.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, we want to make new and passionate connections while enthusiastically engaging with life; on the other hand, we feel a sharp need to focus on what we want to manifest long-term -- what works, what doesn\'t, what are our resources to make it happen, how can we move from A to B without missing anything essential -- in short, to determine what\'s real and can provide us with the best foundation for the next step. Do your best to make space for both of these urges.\r\n\r\nWe tend to be more cautious when it comes to relationships and finances now -- and in fact, this is not the best time to start a brand-new romantic relationship. Financially though, this aspect can be eye-opening; if we can find creative ways to deal with money, we will grow from it.\r\n\r\nThe key is to approach things in both realms with enthusiasm and maturity. Pushing will most likely not get us what we want: better to go one step at a time, slow and steady; that way, we can come back later with a stronger approach and more mature expectations.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><i> 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late afternoon,</strong> <em>a harmonious Sun/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 4:06pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Friday. </strong>It’s an opportunity to see things from a different perspective. What will lead us to this new vantage point?\r\n\r\nOptimism, an open mind, an open heart: Follow your enthusiasm as if it were a wilderness guide — and let yourself be creative and free, especially with or around other people.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 14th): <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b></strong><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Mars/Chiron aspect </em>becomes exact at 2:10am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Thursday night (March 8th) on; it will remain strong until next week Monday (March 19th). </strong>This aspect challenges us to see our own attachments and aversions as a normal, perhaps even valid, part of being human. That way, should we choose to express desire or anger (or even contempt or disgust), such expressions will feel natural and organic, rather than something that provokes shame.\r\n\r\nWe may experience situations that call forth our initiative and independence -- but may not feel confident that we can rise to the challenge, let alone follow through. As best as you can, when the challenge comes: Get into action, feel the excitement that comes with stepping out of the familiar. Ask yourself: What would my hero do?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 25-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or 0-1 degree of <strong>Capricorn, Aries, Cancer,</strong> or <strong>Libra</strong></i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\"> </b><i>will feel most affected by this aspect.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 15th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><strong> until 6:12am EDT</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 3:32am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 2.5 hours, <strong>until 6:12am EDT</strong>. If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it as an opportunity to explore larger truths and your own life further.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday early morning ahead of time\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 6:12am EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><b><i>, </i></b>where it will journey <strong>until Saturday afternoon</strong>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.<b> </b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday: </strong><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Friday late morning,</b> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours.\r\n\r\n<b>Friday, late in the evening, </b>we have the opportunity to be guided by inspiration, and fully commit to a project or task that might serve us long-term. As best as you can, listen and trust to the subtle messages in your heart, that stir you towards success.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 17th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><strong> until 2:57pm EDT</strong> (see Thursday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<span class=\"im\"><b><span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1076589850\"><span class=\"aQJ\">Saturday at 9:11am EDT</span></span>,</b><i> the</i> <i>Moon will align with the Sun in almost 27 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces;</i></b> this marks the beginning of a <em>new Moon cycle</em>.

It connects us to our spiritual journey, as it represents a reunion with Source/God/the Universe. When at its highest vibration, <b>Pisces </b>unifies all dualities -- it is completely aware of the oneness of all. It tells us there is a union within, that exists always, and we can tap into it.</div>\r\n<div><b> </b></div>\r\n<div><b>Pisces</b> is accepting and aware of its eternal nature. It lovingly allows all, because it knows that there is no real separation between things, that separation only exists in the mind.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>At it\'s lowest vibration however, <strong>Pisces</strong> feels separate, fearful, and victimized. It wants to escape the harsh physical realities of this world. We get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not go within to connect with our inner divinity, when we do not trust ourselves, our inner processes and intuitive Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What stops me from connecting to my inner divinity? What if I opened to the perfection of life? What if I trusted to universal timing? Might plenty of down-time and rest actually support my reconnection with Source-energy or my intuitive Self?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>This New Moon aligns with Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>: this amplifies the message to be conscious of our intuitive/spiritual healing journey -- individually and collectively ;-) We are being invited to forgive our own \"humanness\" and open our hearts. Suppressing or denying our feelings and intuitive gifts is even less recommended now.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>There is no shame in feeling things, in being sensitive, in being imaginative and kind -- not just with the people we love but publicly as well. We are invited to shift our perspective about \"feelings\" and \"being sensitive\", from perceiving it as weakness, to allowing it to be our strength, our gift.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We are invited to embrace all of who we are (including our emotional body), if we are to fully function in this world -- and if we are to create a world that supports all living things equally.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>Chiron will be moving into <strong>Aries</strong> in April,</em> so as best as you can, think back over the last 7 years (while Chiron has been in <strong>Pisces</strong>); <strong>ask yourself:</strong> In what ways have I been able to heal my relationship to the divine? Am I more in touch with my own intuition now vs, then (2011)? What sensitivities or limitations have come up around the feeling-body? What still needs my love, understanding and compassion in those areas of my life?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>If we can shift our perspective from \"failure and blame\" to \"growth and learning\", we have an opportunity here to take a quantum leap forward in our individual and collective evolution. If a mere 5% of us went through a transformation, imagine what that would trigger for all.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Am I going to be one of the 5%? What might shift if I allowed myself to flow with the energetic stream rather than struggle against it? What might be possible if I gave my body and mind the opportunity to slow down, perhaps even get completely quiet at least 5 minutes every day?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Venus, Mercury and Uranus are all in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b>at the time of this New Moon. This brings another dimension to the New Moon chart: an action-oriented and direct approach that supports our inner courage.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Mercury is stationing</i>, preparing to go retrograde on <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1076589851\"><span class=\"aQJ\">March 22nd</span></span> (at 17 degrees of <b>Aries)</b>, and is thus exalted.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>This brings awareness to our day to day thinking, and how we process and share information; we are more impulsive and quick-minded, and may communicate from a place of passion and courage, or anger. We are also more aware of our own inner dialog and how assertive or aggressive it is.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Pay attention to what\'s \"in your face\" right now. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What\'s important to me? Where do I over-think? Where do I act (or react) without thinking? What are my physical and mental impulses telling me? What role does \"passion\" play in all of this?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We also covered this in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the Mercury Station and Retrograde is going to impact you personally, feel free to watch the mp4 video-presentation of our last Forum -- we applied what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/jupiters-optimism-mercurys-mental-dance-from-within/\">Here is an excerpt from the webinar. </a>For the full 90+ min. webinars <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>The Mercury Station and Retrograde</em> invite us to go beyond the conditioning of our mind, our stories, and our script, and to release what is no longer in alignment with our personal goals, our passions, our \"true\" Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What if I tapped into my inner courage? What if I communicated honestly, was fearless, was without apologies? What if I gave myself permission to start fresh? Every day, every moment?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> squares the New Moon and Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>. This might create some restlessness and uneasiness in regards to our healing journey this month. We may feel we are falling behind, become impatient -- easily annoyed, or simply angry at not being where we\'d like to be. We may want to move faster than our emotional/intuitive body is asking us to go at this time -- individually and collectively speaking.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself here</strong>: Am I using my warrior energy to defend my belief systems and view about life, or to explore larger truths? Am I asserting myself so I can walk my own talk, or using my anger to dominate and separate myself further from others?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Is \"knowingness\" a way to make myself feel better about who I am (i.e. to feel superior), or a compass I can use to explore my life further? Are there any beliefs I hold dear that have limited my connection to Source/intuition? What might be possible if I applied a new approach and brought open-heartedness to those scripts?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We may feel triggered by others and may well trigger them. Some of that may feel connected to the past -- something in our history with someone else might be the trigger in question.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>When this happens, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> Is this somehow familiar? Is it possible it\'s historical? What does it remind me of? Am I attached to being \"right\" here? Could I welcome wanting approval, safety or control? What if opening my heart created space for all truths to co-exist side by side? No need for conflict, or right, or wrong... simply a space for all of it to be part of the larger sea of life. What might be possible if compassion were the warrior-energy of our heart?</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n<em>Mars moves into <strong>Capricorn</strong> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact</em>; it will play a major role for the rest of March and April. If you want to know how all of this is going to impact you personally, feel free to join the next Forecasting Forum -- we will go into Mars\'s involvement with Saturn, and with Pluto\'s Station and Retrograde phases in more detail -- and apply that insight to our own birth charts.\r\n\r\nThe next Forum will be on <b>Monday</b>, <b>April 2nd, 2018 at </b>10am<b> </b>PST/<b> 1pm EDT</b>/6pm BST (London-time). For more info or to register, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">click here</a>.

Allow for all feelings to flow; allow for yourself to be with what is.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Tap into the divinity within through any, some, or all of the following: meditation; being in nature; music; dance; energy healing; dream work; creative writing; art; being with your intuition. In the silence we feel the oneness with all there is, we feel the unconditional love the Universe provides.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Since 2011, when Neptune and Chiron moved into <b>Pisces</b>, we have been becoming more and more aware that we are<b> One. </b>Everything is energy, everything is connected and everything is in a continuous flow/movement. Each of us is like a drop of water, appearing to be individual, yet also a part of the big ocean of life. We are the sum of all parts: physical, spiritual, emotional, mental… and <i>all</i> that exists is part of the whole.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Take 5-minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, to get quiet and be with yourself (your intuitive/feeling Self). What might become possible if you gave this to your body and mind on a regular basis?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What might a healthy connection with the energetic world feel like? What if I were 5% more interested in my inner world? What if I simply embraced whatever I discovered there? Could I simply allow what \"is\" to \"just be\", just for this very moment?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We are invited to take actions that are aligned with intuition, and communicate our boundaries... perhaps even remove ourselves from situations, when that is the loving thing to do.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>In other words: we move with \"all is well\", no matter what the appearance or view looks like, out there in the world. We trust our inner senses. This is something we need to relearn; we are so conditioned to focus on the outside world for answers, to look to our mind-chatter for answers, or to close off and protect ourselves. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What results might I get if I tapped into inner courage, inner sensing/intuition, and the power of compassion... all at the same time?</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><span class=\"im\">Again, feel free to also watch my New Moon video on the subject: <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">youtube.//...</span></span></div>\r\n<div>\r\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\r\n<div class=\"gmail_default\">\r\n<div class=\"yj6qo ajU\">\r\n<div id=\":7xx\" class=\"ajR\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Hide expanded content\" data-tooltip=\"Hide expanded content\"><img class=\"ajT\" src=\"https://ssl.gstatic.com/ui/v1/icons/mail/images/cleardot.gif\" /></div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div class=\"adL\">\r\n<div><i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in one of the following placements: 25-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel the effects of this extra-powerful New Moon more strongly for the next 6 months. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Cancer </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i></div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to <i>set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle</i>. Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <strong><i>not</i> </strong>during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions</i> would be <b>between 2:47pm EDT today (March 17th) and 9:11am EDT Monday morning (March 19th).</b>\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EDT (US East Coast-time), feel free to join my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> <i>or</i> follow me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders on Saturday afternoon, Sunday throughout the day, and Monday morning to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nPart of the reason for this is that on<strong> Saturday at 9:12am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 5.5 hours, <strong>until 2:57pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to go within and meditate or pray/give thanks/converse with your higher Self.\r\n\r\nThis will support us in feeling connected to our inner Universe -- and of course, it will be a tremendous help in healing our emotional wounds. Finally, as always during VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday morning and afternoon ahead of time.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<strong>Saturday at 12:40pm EDT,</strong> <i>Mars changes signs </i><i>from optimistic, adventurous</i><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> to realistic, prestige-and-accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until May 16th</strong>. For those 8.5 weeks, we tend to feel more determined, goal-oriented and focused. We are not afraid to work hard on attainable goals so that we can see tangible results.\r\n\r\nOur drive to succeed is quite strong, especially when we feel a need for physical and material security — that is, in the realm of all that can be seen and held. Our self-control tends to be quite strong around the expression of \"drives\" -- things like anger, energy, ambition, and sexuality -- in fact, with Mars in Capricorn we are at our least impulsive, with a powerful need to stay in control.\r\n\r\nBecause we have such a strong sense of responsibility, we need to be careful not to start using work to hide from others. Anger can easily get channeled into our work as well. As best as you can, be kind to yourself, remember we all do the best we can; there is no need for extra pressure.\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more focused and determent. You may want to get down to business. If you are a </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 8.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 2:57pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><b><i>,</i></b> where it will journey <b><strong>until Monday evening</strong></b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday after 2:57pm EDT, </b>it\'s time to start setting your Intentions of this Moon cycle.<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here</a><i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 18th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries </i>all day</b> (see Saturday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday night/Sunday very early morning</b> <i>Mercury starts its station-phase</i>. From<b> today on, </b>right through<b> March 29th.</b> <i>Mercury slows down tremendously</i><i>,</i> as it prepares to come to a halt before turning retrograde on March 22nd. During the station, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments during the retrograde -- or the shadow phase that follows.\r\n\r\nFor the next 12 days, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait until after May 3rd, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 14-19 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></i><b><i>, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday evening,</strong> <em>a Sun/Chiron alignment in 28 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:15pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Wednesday evening (March 21st). </strong>This gives us an opportunity to heal insecurities or shame through conscious awareness.\r\n\r\nBecoming aware of old wounds or limitations is the first step toward healing them. Bringing compassion, self-acceptance, and love to it is the second. Together, steps one and two make for a beautiful healing experience.\r\n\r\nIt will help to stay grounded — connected to the Earth and your body. If waves of feeling come up, let them, simply observe the waves. Ask yourself: Am I the \"wave\" or am I more than that? As best as you can, allow all \"waves\" to wash ashore, and allow yourself to rest as the vastness that you are (just like the ocean is to the waves).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 25-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of <strong>Aries, Libra, Cancer</strong> or <strong>Capricorn</strong></i><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso, <b>Sunday all day: </b>If you haven\'t gotten around to it yet,<i> </i><i>set your Intentions</i> for this Moon cycle...

Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 11:36am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 6:44pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan all of Monday afternoon and early evening ahead of time\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 6:44pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Thursday morning</strong><b>.</b> The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius </i>all day </b>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Venus/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 8:39am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. </strong>This aspect<b> </b>asks us to stretch and grow beyond how we\'ve known ourselves in our relationships up to this point -- a process of maturing that requires we adjust and stay flexible.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, we want to make new and passionate connections while enthusiastically engaging with life; on the other hand, we feel a sharp need to focus on what we want to manifest long-term -- what works, what doesn\'t, what are our resources to make it happen, how can we move from A to B without missing anything essential -- in short, to determine what\'s real and can provide us with the best foundation for the next step. Do your best to make space for both of these urges.\r\n\r\nWe tend to be more cautious when it comes to relationships and finances now -- and in fact, this is not the best time to start a brand-new romantic relationship. Financially though, this aspect can be eye-opening; if we can find creative ways to deal with money, we will grow from it.\r\n\r\nThe key is to approach things in both realms with enthusiasm and maturity. Pushing will most likely not get us what we want: better to go one step at a time, slow and steady; that way, we can come back later with a stronger approach and more mature expectations.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><i> 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late afternoon,</strong> <em>a harmonious Sun/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 4:06pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Friday. </strong>It’s an opportunity to see things from a different perspective. What will lead us to this new vantage point?\r\n\r\nOptimism, an open mind, an open heart: Follow your enthusiasm as if it were a wilderness guide — and let yourself be creative and free, especially with or around other people.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 14th): <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b></strong><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Mars/Chiron aspect </em>becomes exact at 2:10am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Thursday night (March 8th) on; it will remain strong until next week Monday (March 19th). </strong>This aspect challenges us to see our own attachments and aversions as a normal, perhaps even valid, part of being human. That way, should we choose to express desire or anger (or even contempt or disgust), such expressions will feel natural and organic, rather than something that provokes shame.\r\n\r\nWe may experience situations that call forth our initiative and independence -- but may not feel confident that we can rise to the challenge, let alone follow through. As best as you can, when the challenge comes: Get into action, feel the excitement that comes with stepping out of the familiar. Ask yourself: What would my hero do?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 25-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or 0-1 degree of <strong>Capricorn, Aries, Cancer,</strong> or <strong>Libra</strong></i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\"> </b><i>will feel most affected by this aspect.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 15th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><strong> until 6:12am EDT</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 3:32am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 2.5 hours, <strong>until 6:12am EDT</strong>. If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it as an opportunity to explore larger truths and your own life further.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday early morning ahead of time\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 6:12am EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><b><i>, </i></b>where it will journey <strong>until Saturday afternoon</strong>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.<b> </b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday: </strong><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Friday late morning,</b> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours.\r\n\r\n<b>Friday, late in the evening, </b>we have the opportunity to be guided by inspiration, and fully commit to a project or task that might serve us long-term. As best as you can, listen and trust to the subtle messages in your heart, that stir you towards success.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 17th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><strong> until 2:57pm EDT</strong> (see Thursday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<span class=\"im\"><b><span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1076589850\"><span class=\"aQJ\">Saturday at 9:11am EDT</span></span>,</b><i> the</i> <i>Moon will align with the Sun in almost 27 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces;</i></b> this marks the beginning of a <em>new Moon cycle</em>. Feel free to also watch my New Moon video on the subject: <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">youtube.//...</span></span>\r\n<div>\r\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\r\n<div class=\"gmail_default\">\r\n<div><b>Pisces</b> is the last sign of the zodiac. It connects us to our spiritual journey, as it represents a reunion with Source/God/the Universe. When at its highest vibration, <b>Pisces </b>unifies all dualities -- it is completely aware of the oneness of all. It tells us there is a union within, that exists always, and we can tap into it.</div>\r\n<div><b> </b></div>\r\n<div><b>Pisces</b> is accepting and aware of its eternal nature. It lovingly allows all, because it knows that there is no real separation between things, that separation only exists in the mind.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>At it\'s lowest vibration however, <strong>Pisces</strong> feels separate, fearful, and victimized. It wants to escape the harsh physical realities of this world. We get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not go within to connect with our inner divinity, when we do not trust ourselves, our inner processes and intuitive Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What stops me from connecting to my inner divinity? What if I opened to the perfection of life? What if I trusted to universal timing? Might plenty of down-time and rest actually support my reconnection with Source-energy or my intuitive Self?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>This New Moon aligns with Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>: this amplifies the message to be conscious of our intuitive/spiritual healing journey -- individually and collectively ;-) We are being invited to forgive our own \"humanness\" and open our hearts. Suppressing or denying our feelings and intuitive gifts is even less recommended now.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>There is no shame in feeling things, in being sensitive, in being imaginative and kind -- not just with the people we love but publicly as well. We are invited to shift our perspective about \"feelings\" and \"being sensitive\", from perceiving it as weakness, to allowing it to be our strength, our gift.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We are invited to embrace all of who we are (including our emotional body), if we are to fully function in this world -- and if we are to create a world that supports all living things equally.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>Chiron will be moving into <strong>Aries</strong> in April,</em> so as best as you can, think back over the last 7 years (while Chiron has been in <strong>Pisces</strong>); <strong>ask yourself:</strong> In what ways have I been able to heal my relationship to the divine? Am I more in touch with my own intuition now vs, then (2011)? What sensitivities or limitations have come up around the feeling-body? What still needs my love, understanding and compassion in those areas of my life?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>If we can shift our perspective from \"failure and blame\" to \"growth and learning\", we have an opportunity here to take a quantum leap forward in our individual and collective evolution. If a mere 5% of us went through a transformation, imagine what that would trigger for all.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Am I going to be one of the 5%? What might shift if I allowed myself to flow with the energetic stream rather than struggle against it? What might be possible if I gave my body and mind the opportunity to slow down, perhaps even get completely quiet at least 5 minutes every day?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Venus, Mercury and Uranus are all in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b>at the time of this New Moon. This brings another dimension to the New Moon chart: an action-oriented and direct approach that supports our inner courage.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Mercury is stationing</i>, preparing to go retrograde on <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1076589851\"><span class=\"aQJ\">March 22nd</span></span> (at 17 degrees of <b>Aries)</b>, and is thus exalted.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>This brings awareness to our day to day thinking, and how we process and share information; we are more impulsive and quick-minded, and may communicate from a place of passion and courage, or anger. We are also more aware of our own inner dialog and how assertive or aggressive it is.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Pay attention to what\'s \"in your face\" right now. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What\'s important to me? Where do I over-think? Where do I act (or react) without thinking? What are my physical and mental impulses telling me? What role does \"passion\" play in all of this?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We also covered this in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the Mercury Station and Retrograde is going to impact you personally, feel free to watch the mp4 video-presentation of our last Forum -- we applied what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/jupiters-optimism-mercurys-mental-dance-from-within/\">Here is an excerpt from the webinar. </a>For the full 90+ min. webinars <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>The Mercury Station and Retrograde</em> invite us to go beyond the conditioning of our mind, our stories, and our script, and to release what is no longer in alignment with our personal goals, our passions, our \"true\" Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What if I tapped into my inner courage? What if I communicated honestly, was fearless, was without apologies? What if I gave myself permission to start fresh? Every day, every moment?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> squares the New Moon and Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>. This might create some restlessness and uneasiness in regards to our healing journey this month. We may feel we are falling behind, become impatient -- easily annoyed, or simply angry at not being where we\'d like to be. We may want to move faster than our emotional/intuitive body is asking us to go at this time -- individually and collectively speaking.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself here</strong>: Am I using my warrior energy to defend my belief systems and view about life, or to explore larger truths? Am I asserting myself so I can walk my own talk, or using my anger to dominate and separate myself further from others?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Is \"knowingness\" a way to make myself feel better about who I am (i.e. to feel superior), or a compass I can use to explore my life further? Are there any beliefs I hold dear that have limited my connection to Source/intuition? What might be possible if I applied a new approach and brought open-heartedness to those scripts?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We may feel triggered by others and may well trigger them. Some of that may feel connected to the past -- something in our history with someone else might be the trigger in question.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>When this happens, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> Is this somehow familiar? Is it possible it\'s historical? What does it remind me of? Am I attached to being \"right\" here? Could I welcome wanting approval, safety or control? What if opening my heart created space for all truths to co-exist side by side? No need for conflict, or right, or wrong... simply a space for all of it to be part of the larger sea of life. What might be possible if compassion were the warrior-energy of our heart?</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n<em>Mars moves into <strong>Capricorn</strong> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact</em>; it will play a major role for the rest of March and April. If you want to know how all of this is going to impact you personally, feel free to join the next Forecasting Forum -- we will go into Mars\'s involvement with Saturn, and with Pluto\'s Station and Retrograde phases in more detail -- and apply that insight to our own birth charts.\r\n\r\nThe next Forum will be on <b>Monday</b>, <b>April 2nd, 2018 at </b>10am<b> </b>PST/<b> 1pm EDT</b>/6pm BST (London-time). For more info or to register, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">click here</a>.

Allow for all feelings to flow; allow for yourself to be with what is.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Tap into the divinity within through any, some, or all of the following: meditation; being in nature; music; dance; energy healing; dream work; creative writing; art; being with your intuition. In the silence we feel the oneness with all there is, we feel the unconditional love the Universe provides.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Since 2011, when Neptune and Chiron moved into <b>Pisces</b>, we have been becoming more and more aware that we are<b> One. </b>Everything is energy, everything is connected and everything is in a continuous flow/movement. Each of us is like a drop of water, appearing to be individual, yet also a part of the big ocean of life. We are the sum of all parts: physical, spiritual, emotional, mental… and <i>all</i> that exists is part of the whole.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Take 5-minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, to get quiet and be with yourself (your intuitive/feeling Self). What might become possible if you gave this to your body and mind on a regular basis?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What might a healthy connection with the energetic world feel like? What if I were 5% more interested in my inner world? What if I simply embraced whatever I discovered there? Could I simply allow what \"is\" to \"just be\", just for this very moment?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We are invited to take actions that are aligned with intuition, and communicate our boundaries... perhaps even remove ourselves from situations, when that is the loving thing to do.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>In other words: we move with \"all is well\", no matter what the appearance or view looks like, out there in the world. We trust our inner senses. This is something we need to relearn; we are so conditioned to focus on the outside world for answers, to look to our mind-chatter for answers, or to close off and protect ourselves. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What results might I get if I tapped into inner courage, inner sensing/intuition, and the power of compassion... all at the same time?</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><span class=\"im\">Again, feel free to also watch my New Moon video on the subject: <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">youtube.//...</span></span></div>\r\n<div>\r\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\r\n<div class=\"gmail_default\">\r\n<div class=\"yj6qo ajU\">\r\n<div id=\":7xx\" class=\"ajR\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Hide expanded content\" data-tooltip=\"Hide expanded content\"><img class=\"ajT\" src=\"https://ssl.gstatic.com/ui/v1/icons/mail/images/cleardot.gif\" /></div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div class=\"adL\">\r\n<div><i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in one of the following placements: 25-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel the effects of this extra-powerful New Moon more strongly for the next 6 months. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Cancer </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i></div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to <i>set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle</i>. Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <strong><i>not</i> </strong>during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions</i> would be <b>between 2:47pm EDT today (March 17th) and 9:11am EDT Monday morning (March 19th).</b>\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EDT (US East Coast-time), feel free to join my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> <i>or</i> follow me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders on Saturday afternoon, Sunday throughout the day, and Monday morning to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nPart of the reason for this is that on<strong> Saturday at 9:12am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 5.5 hours, <strong>until 2:57pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to go within and meditate or pray/give thanks/converse with your higher Self.\r\n\r\nThis will support us in feeling connected to our inner Universe -- and of course, it will be a tremendous help in healing our emotional wounds. Finally, as always during VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday morning and afternoon ahead of time.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<strong>Saturday at 12:40pm EDT,</strong> <i>Mars changes signs </i><i>from optimistic, adventurous</i><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> to realistic, prestige-and-accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until May 16th</strong>. For those 8.5 weeks, we tend to feel more determined, goal-oriented and focused. We are not afraid to work hard on attainable goals so that we can see tangible results.\r\n\r\nOur drive to succeed is quite strong, especially when we feel a need for physical and material security — that is, in the realm of all that can be seen and held. Our self-control tends to be quite strong around the expression of \"drives\" -- things like anger, energy, ambition, and sexuality -- in fact, with Mars in Capricorn we are at our least impulsive, with a powerful need to stay in control.\r\n\r\nBecause we have such a strong sense of responsibility, we need to be careful not to start using work to hide from others. Anger can easily get channeled into our work as well. As best as you can, be kind to yourself, remember we all do the best we can; there is no need for extra pressure.\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more focused and determent. You may want to get down to business. If you are a </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 8.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 2:57pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><b><i>,</i></b> where it will journey <b><strong>until Monday evening</strong></b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday after 2:57pm EDT, </b>it\'s time to start setting your Intentions of this Moon cycle.<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here</a><i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 18th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries </i>all day</b> (see Saturday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday night/Sunday very early morning</b> <i>Mercury starts its station-phase</i>. From<b> today on, </b>right through<b> March 29th.</b> <i>Mercury slows down tremendously</i><i>,</i> as it prepares to come to a halt before turning retrograde on March 22nd. During the station, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments during the retrograde -- or the shadow phase that follows.\r\n\r\nFor the next 12 days, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait until after May 3rd, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 14-19 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></i><b><i>, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday evening,</strong> <em>a Sun/Chiron alignment in 28 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:15pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Wednesday evening (March 21st). </strong>This gives us an opportunity to heal insecurities or shame through conscious awareness.\r\n\r\nBecoming aware of old wounds or limitations is the first step toward healing them. Bringing compassion, self-acceptance, and love to it is the second. Together, steps one and two make for a beautiful healing experience.\r\n\r\nIt will help to stay grounded — connected to the Earth and your body. If waves of feeling come up, let them, simply observe the waves. Ask yourself: Am I the \"wave\" or am I more than that? As best as you can, allow all \"waves\" to wash ashore, and allow yourself to rest as the vastness that you are (just like the ocean is to the waves).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 25-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of <strong>Aries, Libra, Cancer</strong> or <strong>Capricorn</strong></i><i>?

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 11:36am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 6:44pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan all of Monday afternoon and early evening ahead of time\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 6:44pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Thursday morning</strong><b>.</b> The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius </i>all day </b>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Venus/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 8:39am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. </strong>This aspect<b> </b>asks us to stretch and grow beyond how we\'ve known ourselves in our relationships up to this point -- a process of maturing that requires we adjust and stay flexible.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, we want to make new and passionate connections while enthusiastically engaging with life; on the other hand, we feel a sharp need to focus on what we want to manifest long-term -- what works, what doesn\'t, what are our resources to make it happen, how can we move from A to B without missing anything essential -- in short, to determine what\'s real and can provide us with the best foundation for the next step. Do your best to make space for both of these urges.\r\n\r\nWe tend to be more cautious when it comes to relationships and finances now -- and in fact, this is not the best time to start a brand-new romantic relationship. Financially though, this aspect can be eye-opening; if we can find creative ways to deal with money, we will grow from it.\r\n\r\nThe key is to approach things in both realms with enthusiasm and maturity. Pushing will most likely not get us what we want: better to go one step at a time, slow and steady; that way, we can come back later with a stronger approach and more mature expectations.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><i> 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late afternoon,</strong> <em>a harmonious Sun/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 4:06pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Friday. </strong>It’s an opportunity to see things from a different perspective. What will lead us to this new vantage point?\r\n\r\nOptimism, an open mind, an open heart: Follow your enthusiasm as if it were a wilderness guide — and let yourself be creative and free, especially with or around other people.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 14th): <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b></strong><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Mars/Chiron aspect </em>becomes exact at 2:10am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Thursday night (March 8th) on; it will remain strong until next week Monday (March 19th). </strong>This aspect challenges us to see our own attachments and aversions as a normal, perhaps even valid, part of being human. That way, should we choose to express desire or anger (or even contempt or disgust), such expressions will feel natural and organic, rather than something that provokes shame.\r\n\r\nWe may experience situations that call forth our initiative and independence -- but may not feel confident that we can rise to the challenge, let alone follow through. As best as you can, when the challenge comes: Get into action, feel the excitement that comes with stepping out of the familiar. Ask yourself: What would my hero do?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 25-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or 0-1 degree of <strong>Capricorn, Aries, Cancer,</strong> or <strong>Libra</strong></i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\"> </b><i>will feel most affected by this aspect.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 15th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><strong> until 6:12am EDT</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 3:32am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 2.5 hours, <strong>until 6:12am EDT</strong>. If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it as an opportunity to explore larger truths and your own life further.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday early morning ahead of time\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 6:12am EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><b><i>, </i></b>where it will journey <strong>until Saturday afternoon</strong>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.<b> </b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday: </strong><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Friday late morning,</b> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours.\r\n\r\n<b>Friday, late in the evening, </b>we have the opportunity to be guided by inspiration, and fully commit to a project or task that might serve us long-term. As best as you can, listen and trust to the subtle messages in your heart, that stir you towards success.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 17th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><strong> until 2:57pm EDT</strong> (see Thursday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<span class=\"im\"><b><span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1076589850\"><span class=\"aQJ\">Saturday at 9:11am EDT</span></span>,</b><i> the</i> <i>Moon will align with the Sun in almost 27 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces;</i></b> this marks the beginning of a <em>new Moon cycle</em>.

It connects us to our spiritual journey, as it represents a reunion with Source/God/the Universe. When at its highest vibration, <b>Pisces </b>unifies all dualities -- it is completely aware of the oneness of all. It tells us there is a union within, that exists always, and we can tap into it.</div>\r\n<div><b> </b></div>\r\n<div><b>Pisces</b> is accepting and aware of its eternal nature. It lovingly allows all, because it knows that there is no real separation between things, that separation only exists in the mind.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>At it\'s lowest vibration however, <strong>Pisces</strong> feels separate, fearful, and victimized. It wants to escape the harsh physical realities of this world. We get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not go within to connect with our inner divinity, when we do not trust ourselves, our inner processes and intuitive Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What stops me from connecting to my inner divinity? What if I opened to the perfection of life? What if I trusted to universal timing? Might plenty of down-time and rest actually support my reconnection with Source-energy or my intuitive Self?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>This New Moon aligns with Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>: this amplifies the message to be conscious of our intuitive/spiritual healing journey -- individually and collectively ;-) We are being invited to forgive our own \"humanness\" and open our hearts. Suppressing or denying our feelings and intuitive gifts is even less recommended now.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>There is no shame in feeling things, in being sensitive, in being imaginative and kind -- not just with the people we love but publicly as well. We are invited to shift our perspective about \"feelings\" and \"being sensitive\", from perceiving it as weakness, to allowing it to be our strength, our gift.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We are invited to embrace all of who we are (including our emotional body), if we are to fully function in this world -- and if we are to create a world that supports all living things equally.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>Chiron will be moving into <strong>Aries</strong> in April,</em> so as best as you can, think back over the last 7 years (while Chiron has been in <strong>Pisces</strong>); <strong>ask yourself:</strong> In what ways have I been able to heal my relationship to the divine? Am I more in touch with my own intuition now vs, then (2011)? What sensitivities or limitations have come up around the feeling-body? What still needs my love, understanding and compassion in those areas of my life?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>If we can shift our perspective from \"failure and blame\" to \"growth and learning\", we have an opportunity here to take a quantum leap forward in our individual and collective evolution. If a mere 5% of us went through a transformation, imagine what that would trigger for all.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Am I going to be one of the 5%? What might shift if I allowed myself to flow with the energetic stream rather than struggle against it? What might be possible if I gave my body and mind the opportunity to slow down, perhaps even get completely quiet at least 5 minutes every day?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Venus, Mercury and Uranus are all in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b>at the time of this New Moon. This brings another dimension to the New Moon chart: an action-oriented and direct approach that supports our inner courage.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Mercury is stationing</i>, preparing to go retrograde on <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1076589851\"><span class=\"aQJ\">March 22nd</span></span> (at 17 degrees of <b>Aries)</b>, and is thus exalted.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>This brings awareness to our day to day thinking, and how we process and share information; we are more impulsive and quick-minded, and may communicate from a place of passion and courage, or anger. We are also more aware of our own inner dialog and how assertive or aggressive it is.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Pay attention to what\'s \"in your face\" right now. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What\'s important to me? Where do I over-think? Where do I act (or react) without thinking? What are my physical and mental impulses telling me? What role does \"passion\" play in all of this?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We also covered this in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the Mercury Station and Retrograde is going to impact you personally, feel free to watch the mp4 video-presentation of our last Forum -- we applied what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/jupiters-optimism-mercurys-mental-dance-from-within/\">Here is an excerpt from the webinar. </a>For the full 90+ min. webinars <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>The Mercury Station and Retrograde</em> invite us to go beyond the conditioning of our mind, our stories, and our script, and to release what is no longer in alignment with our personal goals, our passions, our \"true\" Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What if I tapped into my inner courage? What if I communicated honestly, was fearless, was without apologies? What if I gave myself permission to start fresh? Every day, every moment?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> squares the New Moon and Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>. This might create some restlessness and uneasiness in regards to our healing journey this month. We may feel we are falling behind, become impatient -- easily annoyed, or simply angry at not being where we\'d like to be. We may want to move faster than our emotional/intuitive body is asking us to go at this time -- individually and collectively speaking.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself here</strong>: Am I using my warrior energy to defend my belief systems and view about life, or to explore larger truths? Am I asserting myself so I can walk my own talk, or using my anger to dominate and separate myself further from others?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Is \"knowingness\" a way to make myself feel better about who I am (i.e. to feel superior), or a compass I can use to explore my life further? Are there any beliefs I hold dear that have limited my connection to Source/intuition? What might be possible if I applied a new approach and brought open-heartedness to those scripts?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We may feel triggered by others and may well trigger them. Some of that may feel connected to the past -- something in our history with someone else might be the trigger in question.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>When this happens, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> Is this somehow familiar? Is it possible it\'s historical? What does it remind me of? Am I attached to being \"right\" here? Could I welcome wanting approval, safety or control? What if opening my heart created space for all truths to co-exist side by side? No need for conflict, or right, or wrong... simply a space for all of it to be part of the larger sea of life. What might be possible if compassion were the warrior-energy of our heart?</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n<em>Mars moves into <strong>Capricorn</strong> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact</em>; it will play a major role for the rest of March and April. If you want to know how all of this is going to impact you personally, feel free to join the next Forecasting Forum -- we will go into Mars\'s involvement with Saturn, and with Pluto\'s Station and Retrograde phases in more detail -- and apply that insight to our own birth charts.\r\n\r\nThe next Forum will be on <b>Monday</b>, <b>April 2nd, 2018 at </b>10am<b> </b>PST/<b> 1pm EDT</b>/6pm BST (London-time). For more info or to register, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">click here</a>.

Allow for all feelings to flow; allow for yourself to be with what is.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Tap into the divinity within through any, some, or all of the following: meditation; being in nature; music; dance; energy healing; dream work; creative writing; art; being with your intuition. In the silence we feel the oneness with all there is, we feel the unconditional love the Universe provides.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Since 2011, when Neptune and Chiron moved into <b>Pisces</b>, we have been becoming more and more aware that we are<b> One. </b>Everything is energy, everything is connected and everything is in a continuous flow/movement. Each of us is like a drop of water, appearing to be individual, yet also a part of the big ocean of life.

We trust our inner senses. This is something we need to relearn; we are so conditioned to focus on the outside world for answers, to look to our mind-chatter for answers, or to close off and protect ourselves. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What results might I get if I tapped into inner courage, inner sensing/intuition, and the power of compassion... all at the same time?</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><span class=\"im\">Again, feel free to also watch my New Moon video on the subject: <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">youtube.//...</span></span></div>\r\n<div>\r\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\r\n<div class=\"gmail_default\">\r\n<div class=\"yj6qo ajU\">\r\n<div id=\":7xx\" class=\"ajR\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Hide expanded content\" data-tooltip=\"Hide expanded content\"><img class=\"ajT\" src=\"https://ssl.gstatic.com/ui/v1/icons/mail/images/cleardot.gif\" /></div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div class=\"adL\">\r\n<div><i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in one of the following placements: 25-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>?

I will be posting reminders on Saturday afternoon, Sunday throughout the day, and Monday morning to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nPart of the reason for this is that on<strong> Saturday at 9:12am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 5.5 hours, <strong>until 2:57pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to go within and meditate or pray/give thanks/converse with your higher Self.\r\n\r\nThis will support us in feeling connected to our inner Universe -- and of course, it will be a tremendous help in healing our emotional wounds. Finally, as always during VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday morning and afternoon ahead of time.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<strong>Saturday at 12:40pm EDT,</strong> <i>Mars changes signs </i><i>from optimistic, adventurous</i><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> to realistic, prestige-and-accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until May 16th</strong>. For those 8.5 weeks, we tend to feel more determined, goal-oriented and focused. We are not afraid to work hard on attainable goals so that we can see tangible results.\r\n\r\nOur drive to succeed is quite strong, especially when we feel a need for physical and material security — that is, in the realm of all that can be seen and held. Our self-control tends to be quite strong around the expression of \"drives\" -- things like anger, energy, ambition, and sexuality -- in fact, with Mars in Capricorn we are at our least impulsive, with a powerful need to stay in control.\r\n\r\nBecause we have such a strong sense of responsibility, we need to be careful not to start using work to hide from others. Anger can easily get channeled into our work as well. As best as you can, be kind to yourself, remember we all do the best we can; there is no need for extra pressure.\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more focused and determent. You may want to get down to business. If you are a </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 8.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 2:57pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><b><i>,</i></b> where it will journey <b><strong>until Monday evening</strong></b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday after 2:57pm EDT, </b>it\'s time to start setting your Intentions of this Moon cycle.<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here</a><i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 18th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries </i>all day</b> (see Saturday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday night/Sunday very early morning</b> <i>Mercury starts its station-phase</i>. From<b> today on, </b>right through<b> March 29th.</b> <i>Mercury slows down tremendously</i><i>,</i> as it prepares to come to a halt before turning retrograde on March 22nd. During the station, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments during the retrograde -- or the shadow phase that follows.\r\n\r\nFor the next 12 days, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait until after May 3rd, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 14-19 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></i><b><i>, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday evening,</strong> <em>a Sun/Chiron alignment in 28 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:15pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Wednesday evening (March 21st). </strong>This gives us an opportunity to heal insecurities or shame through conscious awareness.\r\n\r\nBecoming aware of old wounds or limitations is the first step toward healing them. Bringing compassion, self-acceptance, and love to it is the second. Together, steps one and two make for a beautiful healing experience.\r\n\r\nIt will help to stay grounded — connected to the Earth and your body. If waves of feeling come up, let them, simply observe the waves. Ask yourself: Am I the \"wave\" or am I more than that? As best as you can, allow all \"waves\" to wash ashore, and allow yourself to rest as the vastness that you are (just like the ocean is to the waves).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 25-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of <strong>Aries, Libra, Cancer</strong> or <strong>Capricorn</strong></i><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso, <b>Sunday all day: </b>If you haven\'t gotten around to it yet,<i> </i><i>set your Intentions</i> for this Moon cycle...

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 11:36am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 6:44pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan all of Monday afternoon and early evening ahead of time\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 6:44pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Thursday morning</strong><b>.</b> The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius </i>all day </b>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Venus/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 8:39am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. </strong>This aspect<b> </b>asks us to stretch and grow beyond how we\'ve known ourselves in our relationships up to this point -- a process of maturing that requires we adjust and stay flexible.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, we want to make new and passionate connections while enthusiastically engaging with life; on the other hand, we feel a sharp need to focus on what we want to manifest long-term -- what works, what doesn\'t, what are our resources to make it happen, how can we move from A to B without missing anything essential -- in short, to determine what\'s real and can provide us with the best foundation for the next step. Do your best to make space for both of these urges.\r\n\r\nWe tend to be more cautious when it comes to relationships and finances now -- and in fact, this is not the best time to start a brand-new romantic relationship. Financially though, this aspect can be eye-opening; if we can find creative ways to deal with money, we will grow from it.\r\n\r\nThe key is to approach things in both realms with enthusiasm and maturity. Pushing will most likely not get us what we want: better to go one step at a time, slow and steady; that way, we can come back later with a stronger approach and more mature expectations.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><i> 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late afternoon,</strong> <em>a harmonious Sun/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 4:06pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Friday. </strong>It’s an opportunity to see things from a different perspective. What will lead us to this new vantage point?\r\n\r\nOptimism, an open mind, an open heart: Follow your enthusiasm as if it were a wilderness guide — and let yourself be creative and free, especially with or around other people.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 14th): <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b></strong><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Mars/Chiron aspect </em>becomes exact at 2:10am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Thursday night (March 8th) on; it will remain strong until next week Monday (March 19th). </strong>This aspect challenges us to see our own attachments and aversions as a normal, perhaps even valid, part of being human. That way, should we choose to express desire or anger (or even contempt or disgust), such expressions will feel natural and organic, rather than something that provokes shame.\r\n\r\nWe may experience situations that call forth our initiative and independence -- but may not feel confident that we can rise to the challenge, let alone follow through. As best as you can, when the challenge comes: Get into action, feel the excitement that comes with stepping out of the familiar. Ask yourself: What would my hero do?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 25-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or 0-1 degree of <strong>Capricorn, Aries, Cancer,</strong> or <strong>Libra</strong></i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\"> </b><i>will feel most affected by this aspect.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 15th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><strong> until 6:12am EDT</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 3:32am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 2.5 hours, <strong>until 6:12am EDT</strong>. If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it as an opportunity to explore larger truths and your own life further.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday early morning ahead of time\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 6:12am EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><b><i>, </i></b>where it will journey <strong>until Saturday afternoon</strong>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.<b> </b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday: </strong><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Friday late morning,</b> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours.\r\n\r\n<b>Friday, late in the evening, </b>we have the opportunity to be guided by inspiration, and fully commit to a project or task that might serve us long-term. As best as you can, listen and trust to the subtle messages in your heart, that stir you towards success.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 17th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><strong> until 2:57pm EDT</strong> (see Thursday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<span class=\"im\"><b><span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1076589850\"><span class=\"aQJ\">Saturday at 9:11am EDT</span></span>,</b><i> the</i> <i>Moon will align with the Sun in almost 27 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces;</i></b> this marks the beginning of a <em>new Moon cycle</em>.

It connects us to our spiritual journey, as it represents a reunion with Source/God/the Universe. When at its highest vibration, <b>Pisces </b>unifies all dualities -- it is completely aware of the oneness of all. It tells us there is a union within, that exists always, and we can tap into it.</div>\r\n<div><b> </b></div>\r\n<div><b>Pisces</b> is accepting and aware of its eternal nature. It lovingly allows all, because it knows that there is no real separation between things, that separation only exists in the mind.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>At it\'s lowest vibration however, <strong>Pisces</strong> feels separate, fearful, and victimized. It wants to escape the harsh physical realities of this world. We get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not go within to connect with our inner divinity, when we do not trust ourselves, our inner processes and intuitive Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What stops me from connecting to my inner divinity? What if I opened to the perfection of life? What if I trusted to universal timing? Might plenty of down-time and rest actually support my reconnection with Source-energy or my intuitive Self?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>This New Moon aligns with Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>: this amplifies the message to be conscious of our intuitive/spiritual healing journey -- individually and collectively ;-) We are being invited to forgive our own \"humanness\" and open our hearts. Suppressing or denying our feelings and intuitive gifts is even less recommended now.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>There is no shame in feeling things, in being sensitive, in being imaginative and kind -- not just with the people we love but publicly as well. We are invited to shift our perspective about \"feelings\" and \"being sensitive\", from perceiving it as weakness, to allowing it to be our strength, our gift.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We are invited to embrace all of who we are (including our emotional body), if we are to fully function in this world -- and if we are to create a world that supports all living things equally.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>Chiron will be moving into <strong>Aries</strong> in April,</em> so as best as you can, think back over the last 7 years (while Chiron has been in <strong>Pisces</strong>); <strong>ask yourself:</strong> In what ways have I been able to heal my relationship to the divine? Am I more in touch with my own intuition now vs, then (2011)? What sensitivities or limitations have come up around the feeling-body? What still needs my love, understanding and compassion in those areas of my life?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>If we can shift our perspective from \"failure and blame\" to \"growth and learning\", we have an opportunity here to take a quantum leap forward in our individual and collective evolution. If a mere 5% of us went through a transformation, imagine what that would trigger for all.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Am I going to be one of the 5%? What might shift if I allowed myself to flow with the energetic stream rather than struggle against it? What might be possible if I gave my body and mind the opportunity to slow down, perhaps even get completely quiet at least 5 minutes every day?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Venus, Mercury and Uranus are all in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b>at the time of this New Moon. This brings another dimension to the New Moon chart: an action-oriented and direct approach that supports our inner courage.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Mercury is stationing</i>, preparing to go retrograde on <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1076589851\"><span class=\"aQJ\">March 22nd</span></span> (at 17 degrees of <b>Aries)</b>, and is thus exalted.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>This brings awareness to our day to day thinking, and how we process and share information; we are more impulsive and quick-minded, and may communicate from a place of passion and courage, or anger. We are also more aware of our own inner dialog and how assertive or aggressive it is.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Pay attention to what\'s \"in your face\" right now. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What\'s important to me? Where do I over-think? Where do I act (or react) without thinking? What are my physical and mental impulses telling me? What role does \"passion\" play in all of this?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We also covered this in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the Mercury Station and Retrograde is going to impact you personally, feel free to watch the mp4 video-presentation of our last Forum -- we applied what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/jupiters-optimism-mercurys-mental-dance-from-within/\">Here is an excerpt from the webinar. </a>For the full 90+ min. webinars <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>The Mercury Station and Retrograde</em> invite us to go beyond the conditioning of our mind, our stories, and our script, and to release what is no longer in alignment with our personal goals, our passions, our \"true\" Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What if I tapped into my inner courage?

This might create some restlessness and uneasiness in regards to our healing journey this month. We may feel we are falling behind, become impatient -- easily annoyed, or simply angry at not being where we\'d like to be. We may want to move faster than our emotional/intuitive body is asking us to go at this time -- individually and collectively speaking.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself here</strong>: Am I using my warrior energy to defend my belief systems and view about life, or to explore larger truths? Am I asserting myself so I can walk my own talk, or using my anger to dominate and separate myself further from others?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Is \"knowingness\" a way to make myself feel better about who I am (i.e. to feel superior), or a compass I can use to explore my life further? Are there any beliefs I hold dear that have limited my connection to Source/intuition? What might be possible if I applied a new approach and brought open-heartedness to those scripts?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We may feel triggered by others and may well trigger them. Some of that may feel connected to the past -- something in our history with someone else might be the trigger in question.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>When this happens, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> Is this somehow familiar? Is it possible it\'s historical? What does it remind me of? Am I attached to being \"right\" here? Could I welcome wanting approval, safety or control? What if opening my heart created space for all truths to co-exist side by side? No need for conflict, or right, or wrong... simply a space for all of it to be part of the larger sea of life. What might be possible if compassion were the warrior-energy of our heart?</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n<em>Mars moves into <strong>Capricorn</strong> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact</em>; it will play a major role for the rest of March and April.

Allow for all feelings to flow; allow for yourself to be with what is.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Tap into the divinity within through any, some, or all of the following: meditation; being in nature; music; dance; energy healing; dream work; creative writing; art; being with your intuition. In the silence we feel the oneness with all there is, we feel the unconditional love the Universe provides.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Since 2011, when Neptune and Chiron moved into <b>Pisces</b>, we have been becoming more and more aware that we are<b> One. </b>Everything is energy, everything is connected and everything is in a continuous flow/movement. Each of us is like a drop of water, appearing to be individual, yet also a part of the big ocean of life. We are the sum of all parts: physical, spiritual, emotional, mental… and <i>all</i> that exists is part of the whole.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Take 5-minute breaks here and there, if you possibly can, to get quiet and be with yourself (your intuitive/feeling Self). What might become possible if you gave this to your body and mind on a regular basis?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What might a healthy connection with the energetic world feel like? What if I were 5% more interested in my inner world? What if I simply embraced whatever I discovered there? Could I simply allow what \"is\" to \"just be\", just for this very moment?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We are invited to take actions that are aligned with intuition, and communicate our boundaries... perhaps even remove ourselves from situations, when that is the loving thing to do.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>In other words: we move with \"all is well\", no matter what the appearance or view looks like, out there in the world. We trust our inner senses. This is something we need to relearn; we are so conditioned to focus on the outside world for answers, to look to our mind-chatter for answers, or to close off and protect ourselves. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What results might I get if I tapped into inner courage, inner sensing/intuition, and the power of compassion... all at the same time?</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><span class=\"im\">Again, feel free to also watch my New Moon video on the subject: <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">youtube.//...</span></span></div>\r\n<div>\r\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\r\n<div class=\"gmail_default\">\r\n<div class=\"yj6qo ajU\">\r\n<div id=\":7xx\" class=\"ajR\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Hide expanded content\" data-tooltip=\"Hide expanded content\"><img class=\"ajT\" src=\"https://ssl.gstatic.com/ui/v1/icons/mail/images/cleardot.gif\" /></div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div class=\"adL\">\r\n<div><i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in one of the following placements: 25-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel the effects of this extra-powerful New Moon more strongly for the next 6 months. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Cancer </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i></div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to <i>set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle</i>. Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <strong><i>not</i> </strong>during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions</i> would be <b>between 2:47pm EDT today (March 17th) and 9:11am EDT Monday morning (March 19th).</b>\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EDT (US East Coast-time), feel free to join my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> <i>or</i> follow me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders on Saturday afternoon, Sunday throughout the day, and Monday morning to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nPart of the reason for this is that on<strong> Saturday at 9:12am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 5.5 hours, <strong>until 2:57pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to go within and meditate or pray/give thanks/converse with your higher Self.\r\n\r\nThis will support us in feeling connected to our inner Universe -- and of course, it will be a tremendous help in healing our emotional wounds. Finally, as always during VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday morning and afternoon ahead of time.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<strong>Saturday at 12:40pm EDT,</strong> <i>Mars changes signs </i><i>from optimistic, adventurous</i><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> to realistic, prestige-and-accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until May 16th</strong>. For those 8.5 weeks, we tend to feel more determined, goal-oriented and focused. We are not afraid to work hard on attainable goals so that we can see tangible results.\r\n\r\nOur drive to succeed is quite strong, especially when we feel a need for physical and material security — that is, in the realm of all that can be seen and held. Our self-control tends to be quite strong around the expression of \"drives\" -- things like anger, energy, ambition, and sexuality -- in fact, with Mars in Capricorn we are at our least impulsive, with a powerful need to stay in control.\r\n\r\nBecause we have such a strong sense of responsibility, we need to be careful not to start using work to hide from others. Anger can easily get channeled into our work as well. As best as you can, be kind to yourself, remember we all do the best we can; there is no need for extra pressure.\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more focused and determent. You may want to get down to business. If you are a </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 8.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 2:57pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><b><i>,</i></b> where it will journey <b><strong>until Monday evening</strong></b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday after 2:57pm EDT, </b>it\'s time to start setting your Intentions of this Moon cycle.<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here</a><i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 18th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries </i>all day</b> (see Saturday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday night/Sunday very early morning</b> <i>Mercury starts its station-phase</i>. From<b> today on, </b>right through<b> March 29th.</b> <i>Mercury slows down tremendously</i><i>,</i> as it prepares to come to a halt before turning retrograde on March 22nd. During the station, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments during the retrograde -- or the shadow phase that follows.\r\n\r\nFor the next 12 days, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait until after May 3rd, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 14-19 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></i><b><i>, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday evening,</strong> <em>a Sun/Chiron alignment in 28 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:15pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Wednesday evening (March 21st). </strong>This gives us an opportunity to heal insecurities or shame through conscious awareness.\r\n\r\nBecoming aware of old wounds or limitations is the first step toward healing them. Bringing compassion, self-acceptance, and love to it is the second. Together, steps one and two make for a beautiful healing experience.\r\n\r\nIt will help to stay grounded — connected to the Earth and your body. If waves of feeling come up, let them, simply observe the waves. Ask yourself: Am I the \"wave\" or am I more than that? As best as you can, allow all \"waves\" to wash ashore, and allow yourself to rest as the vastness that you are (just like the ocean is to the waves).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 25-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of <strong>Aries, Libra, Cancer</strong> or <strong>Capricorn</strong></i><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso, <b>Sunday all day: </b>If you haven\'t gotten around to it yet,<i> </i><i>set your Intentions</i> for this Moon cycle...

Mercury follows suit, beginning its own Station phase on Tuesday, that in turn intensifies on Friday (it will come to a complete halt -- ending it\'s retrograde phase -- on Sunday morning).\r\n\r\nIn other news, the Balsamic Moon phase becomes exact on Thursday evening, and the New Moon in Aries becomes exact on Sunday, late in the evening.\r\n\r\nAnd of course, the week wouldn\'t be complete without some <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases -- though there are only two this week: the first on Wednesday, late in the morning (it lasts for almost 4 hours) and a longer one that starts Friday morning and runs for almost 16 hours.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (April 9th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><strong>Capricorn</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 2:50am EDT. </strong><strong>At that point</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <b><strong>until Wednesday afternoon</strong>. </b>The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Monday</strong>, <b> </b><i>Saturn slows down (stations) in 9 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i> <i>\"Stationing\" is when a planet </i>moves more slowly through the sky. When a planet stations, its energy becomes...\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\r\n<strong> GET IT ALL!

Saturn also represents our structures, responsibilities, commitments and ability to \"do\" life, on life\'s terms.\r\n\r\nAs spirit beings in a physical world, it\'s best to observe the laws of the physical world. The sooner we learn to \"play by the rules\", the easier life gets. Saturn also represents time and the \"domain\" of time: growing up, maturing, understanding our limitations, setting healthy boundaries with others, living with integrity, being authentic and truthful, being serious and focused on building something of value to society.\r\n\r\nSaturn is our teacher. If you had a cosmic teacher, what would your personal \"earth class\" be in, right now? Where are you being asked to look at your long-term goals and ambitons and became more mature? What calls for a commitment towards building a solid foundation? What will time do?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during the time of the station, bring flexibility and open-mindedness to any frustrations. The station-phase will last <b>until April 24th</b> -- and Saturn will start its 5-month retrograde phase, next week Tuesday, on April 17th…\r\n\r\nFeel free to watch our mp4 video presentation about April\'s Saturn and Pluto Station and Retrograde phases in relationship to our own Birth charts...To purchase this webinar, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">click here. </a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Special Offer:</strong> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-) <b>Please note</b> <strong>that we will be talking about Chiron moving into Aries and Uranus moving into Taurus, in our next Forum.</strong> Major shifts ahead!\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in </i><b><i>7-11 degrees of  Capricorn, Cancer, Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this station. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>, since Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (April 10th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <strong>all day</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday night/</strong>Wednesday very early morning, <em>a challenging Sun/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:54am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening (April 7th) on; it will remain strong until this Friday night (April 13th)</strong>. What we identify ourselves with could now be challenged. This aspect forces us to confront our will, power, assertion, and authority.\r\n\r\nComing into focus now: the relationship with a father- or other important male-figures. We may face the need to be more independent, assertive, and autonomous.\r\n\r\nWe may alienate others with a controlling, jealous, or overbearing manner. This manner stems from a deep fear of letting go and surrendering to the idea that some things cannot be directed or controlled. We are learning to detach from (let go of) something or someone that no longer serves us -- the \"something\" could include attitudes.\r\n\r\nThis fear may lead us to compulsive, suspicious, or difficult behavior, costing us the very thing that we hold dear. As best as you can, open yourself up to the power of love within. When you do, you will discover your own strength, and rework your very identity. Perhaps most importantly, this aspect puts us face to face with <i>exactly</i> what\'s been holding us back from leading a fuller, more meaningful life.\r\n\r\nWe may have to make some changes or adjustments between our immediate personal desires and our long-term goals. As best as you can, be open to receiving feedback from others during this time.\r\n\r\nIf you feel pressured into doing something or you feel a power struggle build, as best as you can, get centered, get grounded and open your heart and mind. This aspect is a major growth opportunity for us: we struggle with buried elements of our personality and ego, learning to face, accept and transform them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra,  </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (the Sun is the ruler of Leo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso <strong>on Tuesday</strong>, <i>Mercury starts to slow down again (“stationing”).</i><i> </i>It’s getting ready to come to a halt, ending its 3.5-week retrograde phase, on Sunday, April 15th (more on that later this week…). For the next 10 days (<strong>until April 20th</strong><b>)</b>, we need to be patient with ourselves and others -- especially if there is a connection with communication or transportation, and their associated technologies. This is not the best time to start anything brand-new, especially if it contains new information that needs to be processed.\r\n\r\nWe might experience delays or misunderstandings, and things tend to feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time to get ready for travel somewhere -- especially if you intend to use public transportation or drive (For more details on Mercury Shadow Phases and Retrogrades, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">click here</a>)\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets (or angles) <em>in 4-6 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong>, <b>Libra</b>, </em></i><b><i>Capricorn, </i></b><i>or</i><i> </i><b><i>Cancer.</i></b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (April 11th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <strong>until 2:40pm EDT</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:03am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Friday evening (April 6th) on; it will remain strong until this Sunday.</strong> We tend to feel passionate, super-creative, and just plain energized at this time -- we have tons of vitality and warmth.\r\n\r\nThis helps us bring people together for mutual pleasure and benefit; there is also a feeling of flow around creativity and manifesting something real... If you knew it would be easy, what would you pick to create?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of <b>Taurus,</b></i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?</i><i> If so, you may feel more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars rules Aries) </i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday morning</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Sun/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 8:15am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday night on; it will remain strong until Wednesday night/Thursday very early </strong><b>morning</b>. This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed if we’re to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\nThis aspect brings us to a fork in the road: One path takes us toward personal goals and helps us inspire others by being direct and enthusiastic. The other leads to greater understanding of intimacy, and of how we share our resources with others.\r\n\r\nThere\'s not necessarily a \"correct path\", as both can lead to a deeper exploration of the themes in question. Whichever one you decide to walk, go deeper rather than faster -- empower yourself and others by connecting in an authentic way, being honest about your motivations.\r\n\r\nOne more thing: as best as you can, carefully evaluate any projects before getting involved -- awareness is key with this aspect. Ask yourself: What is needed? How can we serve the broader view?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 22-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules of Leo; Jupiter rules Sagittarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 10:55am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 4 hours, <strong>until 2:40pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday late morning and early afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 2:40pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces, </i></b>where it will journey <strong>until Friday late evening</strong>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (April 12th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <strong>all day</strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:26pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday night</strong>. This is an opportunity for compassion and kindness in our social interactions. We are more attuned to the subtleties of human interaction, and are more inclined to naturally cooperate with others. We tend to \"feel\" each other on an energetic level now; a sensitive approach is recommended.\r\n\r\nWe also have an opportunity to connect to our values and gifts from intuition, and use our imagination to attract what we want: When you daydream, what would you like to experience? How would it feel?\r\n\r\nRemember: opportunities are openings; they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 13-17 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune rules Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday evening,</strong> <em>the Balsamic Moon phase begins</em> -- when the Moon reaches 11 degrees of <strong>Pisces.</strong><i> </i>This lasts <b>until Sunday late evening</b>, when the New Moon in <b>Aries </b>becomes exact (for those of you who are impatiently waiting for my New Moon video, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here</a>). We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our intuition.\r\n\r\nFor some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes. This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (April 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <strong>until 11:25pm EDT</strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 7:27am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 16 hours, <strong>until 11:25pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to explore any beliefs connected to past experiences that left you feeling disempowered: How could a compassionate approach to the past allow for a new perspective?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday all day and evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 11:25pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries,</i></b> where it will journey <strong>until Monday very early morning (April 16th)</strong>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<b> </b>\r\n\r\nAlso<strong> on Friday, </strong><em>Mercury Station intensifies in almost 5 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> -- as Mercury is preparing to come to halt on Sunday (ending its 3.5-week retrograde phase). During the station phase, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments once Mercury is moving direct again (to be more precise, during the shadow phase that follows).\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned on Tuesday already,<strong> for the next 6 days</strong>, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait <strong>until after May 3rd</strong>, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 3-6 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (April 14th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b>Aries</b></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Friday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday early morning</strong>, <em>a long-term, opportune Jupiter/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:58am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday (March 19th) on; it will remain strong until Tuesday (May 1st)</strong>. This is second time this year we will experience this aspect -- think back to January, when it last occurred: In what ways were you able to deepen your relationships, business and personal alike?\r\n\r\nA positive attitude and deeper trust in our connections with others gives us the chance to build something meaningful and share our passions. We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support professional or personal goals.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Where could I really dig in to solve a problem? How might passion help deliver on my long-term goals? How could other people\'s resources support my ability to create transformation? How might they help me stand in my power?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>Saturday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Mars/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:27pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until</strong></span> <strong>next week</strong><strong>, </strong><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>Wednesday evening (April 18th)</strong>. </span>This gives us the opportunity to take actions that are in alignment with our dreams and ideals. This is also an opportunity for boundaries to dissolve -- to open and relax.\r\n\r\nCreative or spiritual activities might be a good fit with this planetary connection. We may feel the need to daydream or inspire others. What might it mean, to take \"inspired action\"? What might show up in the world? What if you allowed the Universe to co-create with you?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <span style=\"color: #808080;\">13-17 degrees</span> of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Pisces,  Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Neptune rules Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Saturday</strong>, <em>Saturn Station intensifies in 9 degrees of <strong>Capricorn.</strong></em> As I mentioned on Monday already, <i>\"Stationing\" is when a planet </i>moves more slowly through the sky. When a planet stations, its energy becomes more \"exalted\"; in the case of Saturn, this means we all feel the need to more fully face what is currently so, our actual reality.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Where am I being asked to look at my long-term goals and ambitons and became more mature? What calls for a commitment towards building a solid foundation? What will time do?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during the time of the station, bring flexibility and open-mindedness to any frustrations. The station-phase will feel most intense until <b>until April 20th, </b>but altogether, it will run <b>until April 24th</b> -- and Saturn will start its 5-month retrograde phase, next week Tuesday (<b>on April 17th)</b>… more on that next week ;-)\r\n\r\nFeel free to watch our mp4 video presentation about April\'s Saturn and Pluto Station and Retrograde phases in relationship to our own Birth charts...To purchase this webinar, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">click here. </a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Special Offer:</strong> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-) <b>Please note</b> <strong>that we will be talking about Chiron moving into Aries and Uranus moving into Taurus, in our next Forum.</strong> Major shifts ahead!\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 7-11 degrees of </i><b><i> Capricorn, Cancer, Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this station. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>, since Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (April 15th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b>Aries</b></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Friday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 5:21am EDT</strong>, <i>Mercury comes to a halt in almost 5 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries </i></b>and <i>slowly starts its direct motion</i><i>, </i>after its 3.5-week retrograde phase<i>.</i> As best as you can, go with the flow, keep an open mind and pay attention to anything that is in your face right now -- you may need to address those issues again, when Mercury moves through its shadow phase…more on that later.\r\n\r\nWe are slowly ready to shift our focus back towards the outer world again, taking in new information and sharing from a new perspective. What did you learn about your inner dialog over the past 3 weeks? How can you share your newly found inner understanding in a healthy way with the world? What needs to be addressed regarding your personal goals and desires? With a direct and passionate way of approaching communications? With any new-found understanding of your own thinking structures?\r\n\r\nWhen Mercury gets back to its regular speed (<b>by April 20th</b>), communication and transportation will get back to normal; the same is true of any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets (or angles) in 3-6 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Libra.</i></b>\r\n\r\nAs you may recall, I mentioned <i>Mercury shadow phases</i> on Tuesday: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it\'s best to avoid the periods shortly before and after Mercury goes retrograde. This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) This particular <b>shadow phase ends on May 3rd</b>. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">Click here to read my blog on the subject</a>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening, at 9:57pm EDT:</strong> the <em>Moon aligns with the Sun in 26 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em>. This is the beginning of a new Moon cycle; anything brand-new started in the next two weeks has the chance to get off to a great start. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">Also feel free to watch my New Moon video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\nThe <i>New Moon in fast-paced, enthusiastic, courageous </i><b><i>Aries</i></b>, asks us to connect to our personal goals and to get very clear on what we want to create for the next 28 days. This is an action-packed energy, with the focus on ourselves -- we tend to do first and think later -- we have a tremendous amount of energy and want to sprint.\r\n\r\nAries is the first sign of the zodiac, and thus represents new beginnings, initiation, breaking new ground and birthing new forms. An <em>Aries New Moon</em> is thus an especially fertile time for seeding new projects and directions.\r\n\r\nWe generally don\'t know what will happen when we start something brand-new -- something we have never done before -- and this can bring up insecurities or nervousness, sometimes maybe even plain fear or even panic.\r\n\r\nAries and its ruling planet Mars correspond with the quest to develop courage -- not fearlessness, but the conscious choice to act in spite of fear. Some call this the \"Warrior Energy\".\r\n\r\nOne of the many ways we can demonstrate courage is to allow ourselves to be in a state of \"not knowing\" or \"beginners mind\". At these times, we are more present, and sometimes a state of heightened creative potential arises. <b>Ask yourself: </b>What might come forth if I suspended my opinions, beliefs, judgments and concepts, just for a moment, here and there? Could I be brave enough to take a rest from needing to know, just for right now?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars is the ruler of Aries; it\'s currently in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, sextiling Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>.</i> This aspect asks us to create a solid relationship with our long-term ambitions, while allowing for our inner divinity (Source/God) to guide us toward what feels intuitively right to us, so we can go after it, and manifest it.\r\n\r\nIt also bears a cosmic message about relating to our long-term goals in a loving, kind manner -- softening our approach perhaps, releasing rigid \"shoulds\" and any obligations not aligned with our highest calling.\r\n\r\nIn the same spirit, we are also asked to slow down and focus on quality over quantity, sustainability over novelty, ease over force. <b>Questions you can ask yourself here:</b> What structures might support my emotional/intuitive well-being? What actions would connect my ambitious self to my \"soul-self\"?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars also aligns with Pluto and Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>. This combo brings our long-term business dealings into deep and sharp focus, especially when it comes to manifesting something real (tangible, sustainable, meaningful, etc.)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nFurther, anything dysfunctional within our businesses, governments or long-term goals invites investigation. We are being asked to eliminate or transform anything no longer aligned with our Soul’s passions. This is for our highest good -- individually and collectively.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I felt fully empowered from within and felt absolutely passionate about life, what would I go about “building”? What would be truly meaningful to my Soul in the long run?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon aligns with Uranus in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> -- </i><i>and this is also part of a square with Pluto and Mars in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>. This underlines the message that we are ready to take the next big step on our path. Uranus symbolizes the desire for freedom, equality, and (most of all) progress.\r\n\r\nIt takes courage to leave familiar territory.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span><b>Ask yourself:</b> What is the next step on my journey toward becoming an ever-stronger, healthy individual, one who knows themselves, and is not afraid to go after their personal goals and desires? What if it were possible to accomplish that whilst staying focused on my long-term achievements?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> What might that look like?</span>\r\n\r\n<i>This alignment between Uranus and the New Moon</i> asks us to break away from anything keeping us from stepping up our game -- whatever keeps us in a rut.\r\n\r\nShifts are happening everywhere. It\'s time to develop some courage and awareness. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Where do I want to step up? Where do I want to break out? If I made a big leap, where would I most like to land? Could I surprise myself once a day, for the next 28 days?\r\n\r\n<i>Pluto is also stationing -- </i>and thus exalted -- bringing extra intensity to this process. Pluto shows us where we give our power away to others and where we abuse it ourselves. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What structures no longer empower me? What am I most aware of right now? If I\'m honest, what will almost inevitably break down over the long haul, simply because it is no longer sustainable?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury has been retrograde for the past three weeks, </i>guiding us to reevaluate our thinking about personal goals and how we want to move things forward. Mercury\'s retrograde directed us to deal with unfinished business around past or present dealings, <i>to acknowledge what we learned, be thankful for the growth we experienced, and move forward.</i>\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> is all about “Beginner’s Mind” -- open, eager, willing to be surprised. The fewer preconceptions we have, the more possibilities we see, the path widens as we walk it. This placement also reminds us that communication starts within our own minds -- our inner dialog is the seed for all outer communication.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury will be moving direct on the day of the New Moon</i>, giving the green light to anything that was in a holding pattern for the past 3-6 weeks. That said, anything developed from scratch (or that first came to light) during the retrograde phase is best left on \"pause\", until the shadow phase ends on May 3rd.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe are also cautioned not to be hasty, as <i>Mercury still squares Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>; the message here is \"take it steady\". <b>Ask yourself:</b> What benefits might I reap from taking it one step at a time? From not rushing things?\r\n\r\nWe\'ll be dealing with a lot of Stations this month: Mercury, Saturn, Pluto. Keep in mind that these station phases create awareness. When preparing to go retrograde, they in turn prepare us to gain inner clarity and connect to the energies from within (i.e., more intuitively). In this case, that would apply to Saturn and Pluto.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, when going direct, after a retrograde phase, a station prepares us to move forward (in this instance, that applies to Mercury).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>On April 17th,</strong> <em>Saturn goes into its yearly retrograde, this time at 9º <strong>Capricorn.</strong></em> It will turn direct on Sept. 6th at 2.5º, and get back to that starting point of 9º Capricorn on December 12th.\r\n\r\nSaturn in Capricorn exposes the consequences of our long-term ambitions.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>Saturn always calls us to become our own authority, our own judge of what is right, true, and useful long-term. This can be very different from what society, other authority figures, or our country tells us.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWhile I\'m on the subject: the Saturn and Pluto Retrogrades were covered in considerable detail in the last Monthly Forecasting Forum -- and if you want to know how this planetary movement might impact you personally, feel free to purchase the video of the last webinar -- we applied the Pluto and Saturn Retrograde phases to our own birth charts! <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">Click here for more info or to purchase the recording</a>\r\n\r\nThere is also a <b>Special</b> <strong>Offer</strong> linked to that recording<b>:</b> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for the next Forum</a> <b>by April 17th</b>, I will include that Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar for FREE ;-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<em>During the upcoming Retrograde phases,</em> it may be advisable for us to keep the focus more on ourselves, and check in frequently with our inner compass. We also get a chance to see what works (and what doesn\'t) in certain areas of our lives; we can take stock, and look to see what needs a do-over (or at least a reassessment).\r\n\r\nLast but not least, we have <i>Chiron in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> -- this is the last degree of the sign and the aspect is  therefore exalted. We are approaching the end of 7 years of Chiron in Pisces!\r\n\r\nThink back over those last 7 years and <strong>ask yourself:</strong> What have I learned about my relationship to my higher Self/intuition? What have I learned about the emotional body? About the energetic body? What do I know about my inner healing process that I didn\'t know before 2011?\r\n\r\n<i>Chiron will move into </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> </i><b>on April 17th</b> -- the same day that Saturn comes to a halt -- and will remain in this enthusiastic sign until the end of September.\r\n\r\nWe will go over this upcoming shift in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how <strong>Chiron\'s journey through Aries,</strong> (and <strong>Uranus\'s journey through Taurus</strong>) will impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. The next Forum will be on <b>Monday, April 30th</b> at 3pm EDT/8pm BST (London-time); <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">for more info or to register, click here</a>\r\n\r\n<b>And of course, there\'s that Special Offer, I mentioned already:</b> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> <b>by April 17th</b>, you will also get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs a reminder to <strong>Star </strong>or<strong> SuperStar members:</strong> you will be automatically signed up for the Forum and will receive a link via email to join the live webinar and also for the video presentation. Watch out for those emails (and check your junk mail, if you don\'t see it in your inbox ;-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAlright, let\'s turn our attention back to this <i>New Moon: </i> we are being helped to go beyond the familiar, the comfortable, the customary. Here are some more questions you can <b>ask yourself for the next two to four weeks:</b> What is my vision? What do I want to create now? What needs to change to make this happen?\r\n\r\nThe highest expression of the <b>Aries</b> energy is expressed when we lead others by example and inspiration -- they follow because they see our courage, our enthusiasm for life, and they want to be a part of that. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What if I dared to lead responsibly and with integrity? What if I were the one who inspires others and makes a difference? What is the smallest difference I could make? What is the largest?\r\n\r\nDo your best to tap into the very core of your being — your vision, your purpose — and don\'t be fooled: it is an essential part of the collective journey. Be an agent of change! Have the courage to step up and step out! To quote the great jewish scholar, Hillel: “If not you, then who? If not now, when?”\r\n\r\n<b>Some bonus questions you can ask yourself for the next 2 weeks:</b> What do I see that needs changing? What do I feel most passionate about? Where do I need to take a stand? What if I approached things with 5% more maturity? What is the outcome that serves long-term? <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> As best as you can, commit to something larger than yourself. Listen to your inner voice and bring your passionate Self to the world. Remember that each of us makes this journey in our own way, in our own time, so focus on yourself -- <em>your</em> path, <em>your</em> truth -- rather than on what lies beyond your control.\r\n\r\nSpring is an excellent time to do a cleanse on all levels.<b> Ask yourself:</b> What changes have already been in the back of my mind for months now? What first step looks inviting?\r\n\r\nRemember, the ultimate goal of this New Moon is to tap into our inner warrior — a mature warrior that generates and protects, rather than the shadow warrior who exploits and destroys -- who is courageous, rather than combative, assertive rather than aggressive.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">To learn more about this month\'s New Moon, please click here to watch my video. </a>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 24-28 degrees of either </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>?

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 11:36am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 7 hours, <strong>until 6:44pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan all of Monday afternoon and early evening ahead of time\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 6:44pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Thursday morning</strong><b>.</b> The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius </i>all day </b>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Venus/Saturn aspect </em>becomes exact at 8:39am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Thursday evening. </strong>This aspect<b> </b>asks us to stretch and grow beyond how we\'ve known ourselves in our relationships up to this point -- a process of maturing that requires we adjust and stay flexible.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, we want to make new and passionate connections while enthusiastically engaging with life; on the other hand, we feel a sharp need to focus on what we want to manifest long-term -- what works, what doesn\'t, what are our resources to make it happen, how can we move from A to B without missing anything essential -- in short, to determine what\'s real and can provide us with the best foundation for the next step. Do your best to make space for both of these urges.\r\n\r\nWe tend to be more cautious when it comes to relationships and finances now -- and in fact, this is not the best time to start a brand-new romantic relationship. Financially though, this aspect can be eye-opening; if we can find creative ways to deal with money, we will grow from it.\r\n\r\nThe key is to approach things in both realms with enthusiasm and maturity. Pushing will most likely not get us what we want: better to go one step at a time, slow and steady; that way, we can come back later with a stronger approach and more mature expectations.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i><i> 5-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late afternoon,</strong> <em>a harmonious Sun/Jupiter aspect </em>becomes exact at 4:06pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday on (March 10th); it will remain strong until this Friday. </strong>It’s an opportunity to see things from a different perspective. What will lead us to this new vantage point?\r\n\r\nOptimism, an open mind, an open heart: Follow your enthusiasm as if it were a wilderness guide — and let yourself be creative and free, especially with or around other people.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-26 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Scorpio </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday evening: </strong><i>the</i> <i>Balsamic Moon phase begins </i>when the Moon reaches 12º of <b>Aquarius. </b>This lasts <b>until Saturday morning</b>, when the New Moon in <b>Pisces </b>becomes exact (more on that later...however, <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/New+Moon.aspx\">feel free to watch my video on the subject</a> -- will be posted by Monday, March 11th).\r\n\r\nWe are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our inner sensing/intuition. For some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes.\r\n\r\nThis is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?<i> </i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 14th): <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b></strong><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning,</strong> <em>a challenging Mars/Chiron aspect </em>becomes exact at 2:10am EST. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Thursday night (March 8th) on; it will remain strong until next week Monday (March 19th). </strong>This aspect challenges us to see our own attachments and aversions as a normal, perhaps even valid, part of being human. That way, should we choose to express desire or anger (or even contempt or disgust), such expressions will feel natural and organic, rather than something that provokes shame.\r\n\r\nWe may experience situations that call forth our initiative and independence -- but may not feel confident that we can rise to the challenge, let alone follow through. As best as you can, when the challenge comes: Get into action, feel the excitement that comes with stepping out of the familiar. Ask yourself: What would my hero do?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have any of our personal planets (or our Ascendent) in 25-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Pisces, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Virgo </i></b><i>or 0-1 degree of <strong>Capricorn, Aries, Cancer,</strong> or <strong>Libra</strong></i><b style=\"font-style: italic;\"> </b><i>will feel most affected by this aspect.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 15th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><strong> until 6:12am EDT</strong> (see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 3:32am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 2.5 hours, <strong>until 6:12am EDT</strong>. If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it as an opportunity to explore larger truths and your own life further.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday early morning ahead of time\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 6:12am EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><b><i>, </i></b>where it will journey <strong>until Saturday afternoon</strong>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.<b> </b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday: </strong><i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces </i>all day </b>(see Thursday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Friday late morning,</b> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours.\r\n\r\n<b>Friday, late in the evening, </b>we have the opportunity to be guided by inspiration, and fully commit to a project or task that might serve us long-term. As best as you can, listen and trust to the subtle messages in your heart, that stir you towards success.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 17th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><strong> until 2:57pm EDT</strong> (see Thursday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<span class=\"im\"><b><span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1076589850\"><span class=\"aQJ\">Saturday at 9:11am EDT</span></span>,</b><i> the</i> <i>Moon will align with the Sun in almost 27 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces;</i></b> this marks the beginning of a <em>new Moon cycle</em>. <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/New+Moon.aspx\">Feel free to watch my video on the subject </a>(will be posted by Monday, March 11th)</span>\r\n<div>\r\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\r\n<div class=\"gmail_default\">\r\n<div><b>Pisces</b> is the last sign of the zodiac. It connects us to our spiritual journey, as it represents a reunion with Source/God/the Universe. When at its highest vibration, <b>Pisces </b>unifies all dualities -- it is completely aware of the oneness of all. It tells us there is a union within, that exists always, and we can tap into it.</div>\r\n<div><b> </b></div>\r\n<div><b>Pisces</b> is accepting and aware of its eternal nature. It lovingly allows all, because it knows that there is no real separation between things, that separation only exists in the mind.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>At it\'s lowest vibration however, <strong>Pisces</strong> feels separate, fearful, and victimized. It wants to escape the harsh physical realities of this world. We get trapped in this lower vibration when we do not go within to connect with our inner divinity, when we do not trust ourselves, our inner processes and intuitive Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What stops me from connecting to my inner divinity? What if I opened to the perfection of life? What if I trusted to universal timing? Might plenty of down-time and rest actually support my reconnection with Source-energy or my intuitive Self?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>This New Moon aligns with Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>: this amplifies the message to be conscious of our intuitive/spiritual healing journey -- individually and collectively ;-) We are being invited to forgive our own \"humanness\" and open our hearts. Suppressing or denying our feelings and intuitive gifts is even less recommended now.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>There is no shame in feeling things, in being sensitive, in being imaginative and kind -- not just with the people we love but publicly as well. We are invited to shift our perspective about \"feelings\" and \"being sensitive\", from perceiving it as weakness, to allowing it to be our strength, our gift.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We are invited to embrace all of who we are (including our emotional body), if we are to fully function in this world -- and if we are to create a world that supports all living things equally.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>Chiron will be moving into <strong>Aries</strong> in April,</em> so as best as you can, think back over the last 7 years (while Chiron has been in <strong>Pisces</strong>); <strong>ask yourself:</strong> In what ways have I been able to heal my relationship to the divine? Am I more in touch with my own intuition now vs, then (2011)? What sensitivities or limitations have come up around the feeling-body? What still needs my love, understanding and compassion in those areas of my life?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>If we can shift our perspective from \"failure and blame\" to \"growth and learning\", we have an opportunity here to take a quantum leap forward in our individual and collective evolution. If a mere 5% of us went through a transformation, imagine what that would trigger for all.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Am I going to be one of the 5%? What might shift if I allowed myself to flow with the energetic stream rather than struggle against it? What might be possible if I gave my body and mind the opportunity to slow down, perhaps even get completely quiet at least 5 minutes every day?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Venus, Mercury and Uranus are all in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b>at the time of this New Moon. This brings another dimension to the New Moon chart: an action-oriented and direct approach that supports our inner courage.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Mercury is stationing</i>, preparing to go retrograde on <span class=\"aBn\" tabindex=\"0\" data-term=\"goog_1076589851\"><span class=\"aQJ\">March 22nd</span></span> (at 17 degrees of <b>Aries)</b>, and is thus exalted.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>This brings awareness to our day to day thinking, and how we process and share information; we are more impulsive and quick-minded, and may communicate from a place of passion and courage, or anger. We are also more aware of our own inner dialog and how assertive or aggressive it is.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Pay attention to what\'s \"in your face\" right now. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What\'s important to me? Where do I over-think? Where do I act (or react) without thinking? What are my physical and mental impulses telling me? What role does \"passion\" play in all of this?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We also covered this in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how the Mercury Station and Retrograde is going to impact you personally, feel free to watch the mp4 video-presentation of our last Forum -- we applied what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/jupiters-optimism-mercurys-mental-dance-from-within/\">Here is an excerpt from the webinar. </a>For the full 90+ min. webinars <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-feb-2018/\">click here</a></div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><em>The Mercury Station and Retrograde</em> invite us to go beyond the conditioning of our mind, our stories, and our script, and to release what is no longer in alignment with our personal goals, our passions, our \"true\" Selves.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What if I tapped into my inner courage? What if I communicated honestly, was fearless, was without apologies? What if I gave myself permission to start fresh? Every day, every moment?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><i>Mars in </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> squares the New Moon and Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>. This might create some restlessness and uneasiness in regards to our healing journey this month. We may feel we are falling behind, become impatient -- easily annoyed, or simply angry at not being where we\'d like to be. We may want to move faster than our emotional/intuitive body is asking us to go at this time -- individually and collectively speaking.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><strong>Ask yourself here</strong>: Am I using my warrior energy to defend my belief systems and view about life, or to explore larger truths? Am I asserting myself so I can walk my own talk, or using my anger to dominate and separate myself further from others?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>Is \"knowingness\" a way to make myself feel better about who I am (i.e. to feel superior), or a compass I can use to explore my life further? Are there any beliefs I hold dear that have limited my connection to Source/intuition? What might be possible if I applied a new approach and brought open-heartedness to those scripts?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We may feel triggered by others and may well trigger them. Some of that may feel connected to the past -- something in our history with someone else might be the trigger in question.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>When this happens, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> Is this somehow familiar? Is it possible it\'s historical? What does it remind me of? Am I attached to being \"right\" here? Could I welcome wanting approval, safety or control? What if opening my heart created space for all truths to co-exist side by side? No need for conflict, or right, or wrong... simply a space for all of it to be part of the larger sea of life. What might be possible if compassion were the warrior-energy of our heart?</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\n<em>Mars moves into <strong>Capricorn</strong> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact</em>; it will play a major role for the rest of March and April. If you want to know how all of this is going to impact you personally, feel free to join the next Forecasting Forum -- we will go into Mars\'s involvement with Saturn, and with Pluto\'s Station and Retrograde phases in more detail -- and apply that insight to our own birth charts.\r\n\r\nThe next Forum will be on <b>Monday</b>, <b>April 2nd, 2018 at </b>10am<b> </b>PST/<b> 1pm EDT</b>/6pm BST (London-time). For more info or to register, <a href=\"https://goo.gl/wrs4H3\">click here</a>.

What if I simply embraced whatever I discovered there? Could I simply allow what \"is\" to \"just be\", just for this very moment?</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>We are invited to take actions that are aligned with intuition, and communicate our boundaries... perhaps even remove ourselves from situations, when that is the loving thing to do.</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div>In other words: we move with \"all is well\", no matter what the appearance or view looks like, out there in the world. We trust our inner senses. This is something we need to relearn; we are so conditioned to focus on the outside world for answers, to look to our mind-chatter for answers, or to close off and protect ourselves. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What results might I get if I tapped into inner courage, inner sensing/intuition, and the power of compassion... all at the same time?</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div></div>\r\n<div><span class=\"im\">Again, <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/New+Moon.aspx\">feel free to watch my video on the subject </a>(will be posted by Monday, March 11th)</span></div>\r\n<div>\r\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\r\n<div class=\"gmail_default\">\r\n<div class=\"yj6qo ajU\">\r\n<div id=\":7xx\" class=\"ajR\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Hide expanded content\" data-tooltip=\"Hide expanded content\"><img class=\"ajT\" src=\"https://ssl.gstatic.com/ui/v1/icons/mail/images/cleardot.gif\" /></div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div class=\"adL\">\r\n<div><i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in one of the following placements: 25-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces, Virgo, Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel the effects of this extra-powerful New Moon more strongly for the next 6 months. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Cancer </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i></div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div>\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to <i>set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle</i>. Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <strong><i>not</i> </strong>during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions</i> would be <b>between 2:47pm EDT today (March 17th) and 9:11am EDT Monday morning (March 19th).</b>\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EDT (US East Coast-time), feel free to join my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fanpage</a> <i>or</i> follow me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders on Saturday afternoon, Sunday throughout the day, and Monday morning to let you know when it is time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nPart of the reason for this is that on<strong> Saturday at 9:12am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 5.5 hours, <strong>until 2:57pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to go within and meditate or pray/give thanks/converse with your higher Self.\r\n\r\nThis will support us in feeling connected to our inner Universe -- and of course, it will be a tremendous help in healing our emotional wounds. Finally, as always during VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday morning and afternoon ahead of time.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n<strong>Saturday at 12:40pm EDT,</strong> <i>Mars changes signs </i><i>from optimistic, adventurous</i><i> </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> to realistic, prestige-and-accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until May 16th</strong>. For those 8.5 weeks, we tend to feel more determined, goal-oriented and focused. We are not afraid to work hard on attainable goals so that we can see tangible results.\r\n\r\nOur drive to succeed is quite strong, especially when we feel a need for physical and material security — that is, in the realm of all that can be seen and held. Our self-control tends to be quite strong around the expression of \"drives\" -- things like anger, energy, ambition, and sexuality -- in fact, with Mars in Capricorn we are at our least impulsive, with a powerful need to stay in control.\r\n\r\nBecause we have such a strong sense of responsibility, we need to be careful not to start using work to hide from others. Anger can easily get channeled into our work as well. As best as you can, be kind to yourself, remember we all do the best we can; there is no need for extra pressure.\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more focused and determent. You may want to get down to business. If you are a </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 8.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 2:57pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><b><i>,</i></b> where it will journey <b><strong>until Monday evening</strong></b>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday after 2:57pm EDT, </b>it\'s time to start setting your Intentions of this Moon cycle.<b> </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here</a><i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 18th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries </i>all day</b> (see Saturday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday night/Sunday very early morning</b> <i>Mercury starts its station-phase</i>. From<b> today on, </b>right through<b> March 29th.</b> <i>Mercury slows down tremendously</i><i>,</i> as it prepares to come to a halt before turning retrograde on March 22nd. During the station, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments during the retrograde -- or the shadow phase that follows.\r\n\r\nFor the next 12 days, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait until after May 3rd, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 14-19 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></i><b><i>, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday evening,</strong> <em>a Sun/Chiron alignment in 28 degrees of <strong>Pisces</strong> </em>becomes exact at 7:15pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening on; it will remain strong until next week Wednesday evening (March 21st). </strong>This gives us an opportunity to heal insecurities or shame through conscious awareness.\r\n\r\nBecoming aware of old wounds or limitations is the first step toward healing them. Bringing compassion, self-acceptance, and love to it is the second. Together, steps one and two make for a beautiful healing experience.\r\n\r\nIt will help to stay grounded — connected to the Earth and your body. If waves of feeling come up, let them, simply observe the waves. Ask yourself: Am I the \"wave\" or am I more than that? As best as you can, allow all \"waves\" to wash ashore, and allow yourself to rest as the vastness that you are (just like the ocean is to the waves).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 25-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Pisces, Virgo, Gemini, </i></b><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>or 0-1 degrees of <strong>Aries, Libra, Cancer</strong> or <strong>Capricorn</strong></i><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso, <b>Sunday all day: </b>If you haven\'t gotten around to it yet,<i> </i><i>set your Intentions</i> for this Moon cycle... If possible, align them with the New Moon energies that I spoke about in my last video — feel free to watch it again if you are not sure anymore — click here to watch my video on the New Moon: https://youtu.be/  ;-)\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>A heads-up for next Monday (March 19th)</strong>: <em>t<i>he Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries</i></b></em><strong> until 9:07pm EDT</strong> (see Saturday afternoon for details). <strong>Monday at 3:29pm EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 5.5 hours, <strong>until 9:07pm EDT</strong>. <b>At that time</b>, <em>the Moon moves into <strong>Taurus</strong></em><strong>, </strong>where it will journey<strong> until Thursday very early morning.

What is our favorite thing until Tuesday late afternoon? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early morning: </strong>The best way to handle the first few hours of Monday (if you\'re awake) is to slow down a little and focus on what\'s sitting right in front of you, that needs to be taken care of, so you can get to the next phase of accomplishment. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">(Moon in <strong>Taurus</strong> trines Saturn in <strong>Capricorn at 4:58am EDT -- post at 4am EDT)</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late afternoon, </strong>we have an opportunity to...\r\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">***</span><span class=\"s1\"><b>GET IT ALL!

What does the bigger picture look like?<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> </span><span style=\"color: #993300;\">(Moon in <strong>Taurus</strong> opposes Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio at 8:08pm EDT -- post at 6pm EDT)</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday </strong>is also the <i>last day before the New Moon</i> becomes exact. This is a great day to let go of what no longer serves us. As best as you can, avoid jumping the gun: Rather than launching into brand-new endeavors or connections, wait until a couple of days has passed after the New Moon. Some of us might feel a little anxious or nervous today: As best as you can, get quiet and go within… Listen to the silence between the sounds… Find peace in the connection with your innermost and truest Self.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (15th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus</strong></em> <strong>until 4:43pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 7:48am EDT</strong>, the <i>New Moon in 24.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> becomes exact. This marks the beginning of a new Moon cycle. As best as you can, get really quiet, and see if you are getting any new messages or ideas. If you are, harvest them, and fold them into any intentions you set for the new Moon cycle -- I will talk about this process later in the forecast, and I’ll even give you the very best and most potent times for doing it :-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Click here to watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/IvgN28_yRKc\r\n\r\n<i>This New Moon in steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> places more focus on our interactions with the physical world -- you could say that we seek a healthier relationship with “matter\", one in which we are neither too attached, or too disconnected from our bodies, resources (such as money), and the planet we co-inhabit. We are powerfully reminded to take the time to honor the only planet we can currently live on — The Earth — we are called on to honor its resources and beauty.\r\n\r\nIn much the same spirit, we are invited also to honor ourselves, our bodies, our talents. This is a good time for reevaluating our relationship to money and possessions, and for discovering what truly makes us happy and fulfilled. Check in with yourself: What came to mind when you read this?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon trines Mars and Pluto in </i><b><i>Capricorn. </i></b>This combo promotes a realistic and responsible long-term approach. We have the chance to better align our goals with our values; it\'s easier for us to sustain what we have started, and bring a heightened sense of commitment to it all.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I am completely honest, what do I truly want for myself long-term? What really matters to me? If I felt the need to connect to something in a passionate way, what might that be? What truly fulfills me? And what modest step could I take today to move towards my goals?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus, </i>the ruler of Taurus, <i>moves through </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> at the time of the New Moon. This reminds us to learn and discuss Taurean issues: resources, appreciation of physical matter, natural beauty etc.\r\n\r\nThe spiritual quest of <b>Gemini</b>, on the other hand, concerns the development of perception, our powers of thought, and communication. As the creative power of the feminine, Venus in Gemini represents <i>the \"bringing together of opposites\" -- </i>people with different values, for example.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> When I picture this, what do I see? What might this look like in my various communities? How about within my relationships? Could exploring duality help me understand different points of views? Might curiosity be a vital tool in all of this? If so, what could I get curious about? What would 5% more flexibility do for my ability to relate to others?\r\n\r\nAnother thing worth mentioning: <i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>also</i> <i>makes a</i> <i>\"mutual reception\" to Mercury in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> <b><i>--</i></b> in other words, these planets are in each other\'s signs until May 19th; during that time, they \"mutually\" support each other\'s agenda. This gives us the opportunity to connect mind and heart.\r\n\r\nWe seek out mental stimulation: teaching, learning, writing, collecting and processing information, etc.... and we want to share the output in practical ways, applying it to the real world and ourselves, our values, and our physical experience of life.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, allow yourself to take your time processing things that you just started engaging with. In the meantime, stay open to learning, remain curious, and remember that every teacher is also a student and vice versa.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What if I listened to myself 5% more? What if I had 5% more faith that I\'d be heard? What might I discover about my thinking processes and my value? Is it possible my value doesn\'t need to be \"earned\"? What if, without my being alive, nothing else could be as it is?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus, in the last degree of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, makes a square to Mars in the last degree of </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b>at the time of the New Moon (more about this square when it becomes exact on Wednesday). As some of you already know, when a planet is the last degree of a sign, its energy is more exalted, as it knows that a shift is coming -- you could say that the rumbling of its vibration gets louder.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What am I waking to? Where do I need to assert myself? How might I do that while still keeping what I want to create long-term in view? What has been holding me back? What am I ready to address and change? What needs to happen so I can move forward in a mature fashion?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus moves into </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact (more on that below) -- starting its preview through this peace-loving, sensual sign until early November of this year -- I say \"preview\", because Uranus will return to <b>Taurus</b> in March 2019, for a 7 year-transit. These next 28 days will be ripe with shifts and changes, so stay centered in the here and now, expect the unexpected and allow yourself to make an inner shift -- as this paves the way for an outer shift. Flexibility is key!\r\n\r\nWe went over this upcoming shift in more detail in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how Uranus\'s journey through Taurus until 2026 impacts you personally, feel free to get the 120 min. long webinar on the subject; <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product-category/webinars/\">for more info or to purchase, click here</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/UqfQLJ\">https://goo.gl/UqfQLJ</a> The fee for this is only $37, even though the webinar is 30 minutes longer than my usual webinars -- partly because we also cover Chiron\'s journey through Aries until 2027.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">You can also check out a brief excerpt of this webinar, here:</a> <a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">https://goo.gl/844ZMG</a> Enjoy ;-) I also offer a <strong>Special Offer this month</strong>: sign up for Star or SuperStar Membership <strong>by May 31st</strong> (or upgrade from Universal to Star Membership via \"My Account\"), and get this webinar for FREE! If you are already a Star or SuperStar Member check your email for the link to this webinar -- it was emailed to you on April 30th ;-)\r\n\r\nThink back over the last 7 years (i.e. March 2011 - May 2018), while Uranus was in <b>Aries</b>, and <b>ask yourself: </b>Where did I make progress on my goals and desires? What structures needed to be renewed for me to break through and find a new or unique approach to who I\'m being? Do some of those structures actually need to break down? What self-realizations make me stand out and go after things in a more original way? How did this 7-year transit through Aries support my vision?\r\n\r\nIf you have a Birth chart, and know what to look for, look to see what Houses are connected to the <b>Aries</b> energy -- and if that sounds like I\'m talking a foreign language, feel free to watch my video: <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">How to Read Your Birth Chart</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/KMmUUz\">https://goo.gl/KMmUUz</a> <i>or</i> join our next Forecasting Forum on <b>May 31st at 7pm EDT</b>, and ask me your questions there. We will cover the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that starts in June -- that will also be connected to Aries in your chart -- I will definitely explain this in great detail in the Forum ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> conjuncts Uranus in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> -- this alignment is exact on May 13th, in 29º of Aries, two days before the New Moon becomes exact<i>.</i><b><i> </i></b>This could bring some exciting possibilities, perhaps even a leap forward in the evolution of our consciousness, with flashes of insight into our own mental workings and some original thoughts coming through, etc.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, and as much as you want to (of course), stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What might a true breakthrough look like? What insights am I receiving? What is it I\'m learning about myself every day that might change my whole perspective?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury also makes a trine to Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>. With Saturn</i> being a part of the equation it is important for us to learn something new using a mature and realistic approach.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What concrete, practical plans could I make? Could I allow myself to take it one step at a time, staying grounded in the here and now? What does a truthful, realistic alignment with long-term goals look like to me?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> trines Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>at the time of the New Moon, bringing the potential for spiritual inspiration -- and it\'s a great time for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>How might more trust and empathy help my perception of intimate relationships? What might be possible for me if I allowed for things to unfold? What if I allowed myself to see the perfection in everything that I perceive right here, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> It is important to remember that we are part of nature, just like a tree, or an ocean -- our actions and interactions with the only home we have will change it, for good or ill. We are also developing an increasingly profound conscious awareness over the next 28 days that connects us to all that is alive.\r\n\r\nTo bring all this together,<b> ask yourself:</b> What baby steps could I take for the planet I co-inhabit? What would show my love and appreciation? What do I sense when I get very quiet and tune into my own energy field and the energy all around me? What really matters to my heart?\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <i>not</i> during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions </i>would be <b>between</b> <b>7:48am on Tuesday, May 15th and <strong>7:48am EDT Thursday morning (May 17th).</strong></b>\r\n\r\n<i>Note</i>, however, that there is a brief <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a><b> on Tuesday afternoon -- it runs from 4:30pm until 4:43pm EDT. </b><i>Don’t</i> set your intentions during those 13 minutes — instead, allow intuition to surface possible intentions while you wait.

I will be posting reminders on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday morning to let you know that it\'s the best time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nWhen setting intentions, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> What might shift if I focused 5% more on the beauty that already surrounds me?<i> </i>What might open up if I truly valued curiosity and open-mindedness? What if I learned to listen right past my conditioning and opinions? What if I took my time to respond? What might my heart want me to say? <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Again, feel free to also watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/IvgN28_yRKc\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 22-27 degrees of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>?

How could you move that to the next level? <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nDuring these times, when Mars travels through Aquarius, we enjoy surprising ourselves and others. The tried-and-true methods of getting things done are far too boring for us right now. We are looking for unique and original goals, and we tend to have a rather original, forward-thinking view of the world now. \"<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Progress\" is one of our favorite words! What if you suddenly said to yourself: \"How could I surprise the \"old me\" today?\", when you were least expecting it?</span> ;-)\r\n\r\nMental and intellectual pursuits are important to us now. The Aquarian ideal of equality is strong with this position, so we also place a lot of value in freedom and individuality -- our own <i>and</i> that of others. With Mars in this fixed sign, we will definitely need our independence, especially in personal relationships -- and we are not easily pushed around. It\'s best to give ourselves and others lots of space; if we feel boxed in, we may rebel or act contrary.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nIn general, we may feel a desire to push our agenda on others -- not in an aggressive way, though... more in a creative manner. As best as you can, bring a sense of openness to your approach to people and situations. Be aware of feeling superior to others: if you find yourself thinking that someone is less \"special\" than you, put your hand over your heart and ask \"what would my heart say to this?\"\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more detached, forward-thinking and freedom-loving. You may want to change things in your life that have outlived their use. If you are an </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 12.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mars/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:04am EDT. This is the first Mars/Uranus Square of the year in the fixed signs (Aquarius/Taurus). <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last week Monday (May 7th), it will remain strong until next week Friday (May 25th). </strong>This aspect asks us to get in touch with our desires and break away from anything that is holding us back. Passions and anger that we may not even know we had may emerge at this time.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Uranus urges us to let go of the past and focus on a better future.</span> We may feel restless and impatient; we can be very demanding and difficult to please. We tend to feel like progress is too slow and we are tired of waiting. This could be an explosive time, as our inner rebel issues<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>emotional challenges, while outer \"reality\" demands we change course.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, if you are the kind of person that doesn\'t go in for asserting themselves, this is an excellent time to try it out ;-) Do your best not to burn all your bridges, especially with any males in your family or in your various communities. We may also experience an awakening of sorts in regards to our sexuality.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAccidents are unusually likely (though not inevitable), especially if our levels of activity and energy are erratic; to prevent this, stay as grounded as possible and keep breathing! Flexibility and open-mindedness is always helpful... but is especially important now. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Notice when you are digging your heals in about something, this is usually a sign that you have some underlying anxiety about something else. Again, take a deep breath, get centered in your body, close your eyes and focus on your third eye. </span>\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">What am I afraid of happening?</span> How might I channel this restless energy into projects that are asking for progress? How might I channel, or just burn off, all this erratic energy? What kind of exercise might be an energetic match? Where am I stagnating? Where am I able to take innovative action?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or personal planets in </i><i>27-29 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn,</i></b><i> or 0-</i><i>3 </i><i>degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>?

You may also want to plan Saturday late afternoon and evening ahead of time. (<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Moon sextiles the Sun in Taurus</span>).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 7:11pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday late evening</strong>. <span class=\"s1\">We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-) </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?</span></p>\r\nAgain, today<strong> (Saturday),  </strong><span class=\"s1\">it\'s <i>time to take actions on our New Moon intentions</i>: if you set Intentions Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning -- after the New Moon became exact -- today <strong>before 5:14pm </strong>and<strong> after 7:11pm EDT, </strong>will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 20th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Saturday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning</strong>, <em>an opportune Mars/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:55am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from <span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">Monday (May 14th)</span> on, it will remain strong until <span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">next week, Friday (May 25th)</span>. </strong><span class=\"s1\">This is an opportunity to accept the validity of our anger and desire, so that we can learn to express these energies naturally and confidently. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This could also inspire us to make resolutions and take actions towards healing our emotional and spiritual wounds. Remember: this is an \"opportunity\" -- those aren\'t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in the following: <span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">29 degrees of</span> <b>Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus, Scorpio, </b><span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">or<b> </b>0-4 degrees</span> of</i><b><i> Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, </i></span><span class=\"s1\"><i>you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Aries </i></b><i>(Mars rules Aries)</i></span></p>\r\n<strong>Sunday late afternoon</strong>, <em>a challenging Venus/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:24pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday night (May 17th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Wednesday (May 23rd). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This aspect asks us to stretch past injuries and insecurities in our relationships, self-worth and finances. If we can bring compassion and a different point of view to these issues, we will reach a new understanding of ourselves and our life journey.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We have the opportunity to learn from one another; ironically though, we may also feel insecure around others. Whenever Chiron is involved, we are being asked to do some healing work. As best as you can, use this time to learn about your sore spots. Nobody is perfect: we all have our flaws and idiosyncrasies. It\'s ok.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you get triggered by someone, as best as you can, take it as an opportunity to see where this trigger originated -- probably in your childhood. Bring love and compassion to yourself, as you are, and as you were (i.e. your \"wounded child\"). Allow <i>any</i> feelings this may stir up in you. A feeling is just energy that wants to be experienced, and honored; it wants to move through us and out.\r\n</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The more we resist our feelings, the more we keep them spinning in place. As best as you can, move from the head to the heart. What might change, if you showed 5% more compassion toward your inner wounded child? What if you just decided to take an active part in the healing process? </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: <span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">28-29 degrees</span> of </i><b><i>Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i><span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">0-5 degrees</span> of </i><b><i>Cancer, Aries, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).</i></span><span class=\"s2\"> </span></p>\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 10:06pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from early morning (May 20th) on, it will remain strong until Monday evening (May 21st). </strong><span class=\"s1\">We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward; we need to make a choice. We need to develop inner awareness, so we can make adjustments. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">This might concern compromising with others. Our enthusiasm might make us impatient or hasty with others. Our values may not be in alignment with those we work with. As best as you can, keep choosing the \"better\" alternative, adjusting as needed.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">When life slows down, or becomes uncomfortable, simplify and be patient. We are changing and growing in ways that we can\'t comprehend right now. Stay as open and observant as you can.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-3 degrees of</i><b><i> Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> (Venus rules Taurus and Libra; Mars rules Aries)</i></span></p>\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening at 10:15pm EDT</strong>,<em> </em><span class=\"s1\"><i>the Sun changes signs from steady, sensual</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>to versatile, fast-thinking</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b>.</span><span class=\"s2\"> It will journey through Gemini <b>until June 21st.</b> With the Sun in Gemini, the urge for self-expression is strong. We may be extra interested in collecting and sharing information. This is a time when curiosity and adaptability are favored. We are more flexible, changeable and adaptable -- which makes us quite social as well.</span>\r\n\r\nWe enjoy intellectual conversations and we can easily become bored if we are not getting enough mental stimulation at this time. We are more objective and observant, but prefer to keep things light and easy. There is usually a nervousness in the air at this time as well, as we are constantly seeking to connect and have new interactions. “Sharing” is the name of the game.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Gemini, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo your vitality will most likely speed up and you feel more chatty than usual.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 11:30 pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 22.5 hours, <strong>until 10:03pm EDT </strong>(Monday late evening, May 21st). <span class=\"s1\">We are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we feel a strong need to have fun and be creative or self-expressed.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">On the other hand, we want to explore deep, authentic -- even intimate -- connections to ourselves or others. Do your best to use this intuitive time to make adjustments, slow things down a little, and find creative solutions that honor both drives.</span></p>\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

You may also want to plan Monday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 9:07pm EDT,</strong> <i>the Moon moves</i><b> </b><i>into steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Thursday very early morning</strong><b>.</b> We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.\r\n\r\nIn other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Monday</strong>, <i>the </i><i>Mercury station intensifies,</i><b> </b>as Mercury is preparing to come to halt this Thursday (March 22nd) at <em>almost 17 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> -- beginning its 3.5-week retrograde phase (more on that later this week). During the station phase, <b>until March 29th,</b> we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments once Mercury is moving direct again (to be more precise, during the shadow phase that follows).\r\n\r\n<strong>For the next 10 days</strong>, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: <strong>wait until after May 3rd</strong>, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 9-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 20th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful</i><strong><i> Taurus </i><b>all day</b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday very early morning,</strong> <em>a Mercury/Venus alignment in 17 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> becomes exact at 12:03am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Friday evening (March 16th) on; it will remain strong until next week, Thursday morning (March 29th). </strong>This is an excellent time to share about bravery, acts of heroism, physical activities, sports, new adventures or endeavors, ourselves, our personal goals -- or anything we feel passionate about -- and also about any teaching endeavors connected to those areas.\r\n\r\nThis alignment supports communicating from a passionate heart -- and in fact, it becomes essential to connect to people with whom we feel a strong affinity. We wish to form those connections in a spirit of harmony, directness, and equality. In fact, we tend generally to have a strong sense of fairness at this time -- and want to be around people who share this passion.\r\n\r\nWe also thoroughly enjoy the written and spoken word -- literature, wordplay, puns, moving conversations -- especially when these words speak of something new (or courageous).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 14-20 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly; the same is true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Virgo, Gemini, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus  </i></b><i>(Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 12:15pm EDT, </strong><i>the Sun changes signs from dreamy </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> to fast-paced, enthusiastic </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>,</i><i> </i>where it will journey<i> </i><b>until April 19th. </b>This is also the <i>Spring (</i>or<i> </i><i>Vernal)</i><i> Equinox.</i>\r\n\r\nThis signifies the beginning of Spring in the Northern hemisphere of this planet, the energetic turning point from one season to the next. Equinoxes are super-potent times for setting intentions. They are energetic gateways, where we experience the inter-relationship between light and dark, inner and outer, spirit and matter.\r\n\r\nWith the Sun entering <b>Aries</b> <b>for the next four weeks</b>, we tend to act first and think later. We are more aware of our personal goals and we feel a strong urge to move forward, get things done, move closer to our goals. We are quite aware of our own gut instincts and where we are heading. It\'s a great time both for leading others and for carving out our own path.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, you will feel energized and physically strong at this time.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 21st)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful</i><strong><i> Taurus </i><b>all day</b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 1:21pm EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 12 hours, <strong>until Thursday, March 22nd at 1:30am EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to balance your desire for comfort and security with your desire for deeper emotional connections with yourself and others.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday night/</strong>Thursday very early morning, <strong>at 1:30am EDT,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <strong>until Saturday early morning</strong><b>.</b> For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way…\r\n\r\nThe one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 22nd):</strong> <i>the Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><b><i> Gemini </i>all day</b><strong> </strong>(see Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early morning,</strong> <strong>after 4:22am EDT</strong>,<i> </i>it\'s <i>time to actions on our New Moon intentions</i>: if you set Intentions Saturday, Sunday of last week, or this week Monday morning -- after the New Moon became exact -- today will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Thursday at 8:19pm EDT, </strong><i>Mercury comes to a still stand in almost 17º of <strong>Aries</strong></i><b><i> </i></b>(<i>starting its 3.5-week retrograde phase)</i><i>,</i> slowing things down tremendously from Wednesday until Friday. Give yourself extra time to go to work this morning or to get things done. If you are traveling today, just simply go with the flow… you\'ll get there... eventually ;-) The same is true when it comes to all our technological devices…\r\n\r\nThis retrograde phase will last <b>until April 15th. </b>People worry about Mercury retrogrades, but it’s important not to stop one\'s life during these times. As mentioned above, certain things may take longer -- but a retrograde gives us a chance to resolve things that have been keeping us from living our lives in a more passionate way -- especially things that came up within the past three weeks.\r\n\r\nTake time to investigate your own thought processes... ask yourself: What\'s too busy in my life? What if I got really clear about that?\r\n\r\n<b>For the next three and a half weeks</b>, we\'ll get a chance to explore our personal goals -- to connect from within to what we feel passionate about. It\'s also an opening to readdress communications, learning experiences, and mental conditioning.\r\n\r\nThis is an internal process -- a chance to honor and reorganize our thoughts, working from the inside to the outside -- rethinking, retooling and releasing what no longer works.\r\n\r\nWe also get a chance to explore what we desire for ourselves, connecting from within to whatever needs a more direct and assertive approach or some kind of revision -- we may even get to reorganize our life, and explore new avenues that are better aligned with our personal goals (if we do the inner work of exploring what work for us and what doesn\'t).\r\n\r\nAs always: with <i>Mercury retrograde</i>, always read the small print -- and re-read a contract before signing (if you have to sign something) -- or ask another person for a second opinion... Basically, during these periods, it\'s best to be aware of any details that we might have overlooked... <i>and</i> check in with our intuition... <i>and</i> stay open to the possibility of renegotiation or adjustments, down the line!\r\n\r\nIn general, Mercury Retrograde is a great time for reevaluating and reorganizing. This is especially true for our thought patterns and decisions (particularly those made in the 3 weeks prior to the start of the retrograde) -- but it\'s true of our lives in general: we can reach a clearer understanding as to what works, and what doesn’t, and what needs to change.\r\n\r\nReconnecting with old friends, clients and family members (especially siblings) is also favored at this time …\r\n\r\nMercury also represents our day-to-day mind; this too is experienced more internally at this time. When it comes to communication, make sure that what you say, write and hear is the same as the intended meaning -- and use the spell-checker ;-)\r\n\r\nAnother thing to take into consideration: how does each Mercury retrograde phase affect your personal birth chart. Do you have any personal planets that Mercury will align with during its retrograde journey? The houses of your chart each represent different areas of your life -- which of the houses in your chart is affected by this retrograde?\r\n\r\n<i>If you have </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as your Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant), or personal planets (or angles) that are in 3-15 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Cancer, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>,</i><b><i> </i></b><i>you can expect to feel the effect of the Mercury retrograde phase more strongly.</i><b><i> </i></b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (March 23rd)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><b><i> Gemini </i>all day</b><strong> </strong>(see Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday evening,</strong> <em>a challenging Venus/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 7:17pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday morning on; it will remain strong until next week, Monday morning (March 26th). </strong>The Universe is asking us to stretch and grow.\r\n\r\nVenus represents our relationships and that which we most value; these areas may undergo major transformations. This aspect challenges us to find meaning in our life through partnerships. We must now uncover the deeper layer of our life. With Pluto in the mix, social interactions could be intense.\r\n\r\nYou may see changes in financial status or relationships. In the latter, things erupt that have been brewing beneath the surface for some time; this may prove disruptive: As best you can, empower rather than disempower. We may become obsessed with our commitments and our partner during this time.\r\n\r\nWe may also experience Pluto <i>through</i> our partner or partnerships, experiencing manipulation and controlling behaviors; we must be especially wary of resisting change and holding onto lower vibrational attachments. It\'s time to let go of destructive attachments and connections. How can we grow and evolve in our partnerships? Is there a relationship that we need to grow and evolve <i>out</i> of?\r\n\r\nThis aspect could also express itself through sexual tension; there is a strong desire for love in its physical expression. However, keep your standards high, so you can come upon a love that fulfills all your needs -- definitely don\'t start a relationship with \"just anyone\", in order to avoid being alone.\r\n\r\nRemember to be true to your own values; wait for someone with whom you can have a relationship based on trust, love and a genuine desire for intimacy -- and work on being worth finding, in the meantime :-) As best as you can, stay grounded in love, not fear. Stay flexible and open-minded. As best as you can, nurture yourself; make sure you have everything you need to be able to come from a place of inner strength &amp; empowerment.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Venus being the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 11:52pm EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for 5 hours, <strong>until Saturday, March 24th at 4:53am EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 24th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><b><i> Gemini </i></b><strong>and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> until 4:53am EDT </strong>(see Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 4:53am EDT,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <b>until <strong>Monday morning</strong>.</b> With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Saturday late morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 11:35am EDT</strong>, <em>the first Quarter Moon in almost 4 degrees of <strong>Cancer</strong> becomes exact.</em> <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered <em>Cancer</em> </strong>(earlier today).\r\n\r\nThe Moon in protective, introverted <b>Cancer </b>makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in bold, fast-paced <b>Aries</b><b>.</b>\r\n\r\nWe feel compelled to take action. Last week on March 17th, the New Moon in Pisces was exact: \"Seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making their first real contact with the outside world. As such, this a time to stretch and grow, and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day interactions with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 2-6 degrees of</i><b><i> Cancer, Aries, Capricorn</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday early afternoon,</strong> <em>a challenging Sun/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:08pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday on; it will remain strong until next week, Tuesday (March 27th). </strong>This invites us to stretch ourselves and grow beyond what we know ourselves to be.\r\n\r\nWe might feel driven by a restless desire to \"<i>do something\"</i>, but we must stay grounded in reality, or our impulsive actions could involve us in needless arguments, or leave us spinning our wheels (it would feel more like they were spinning in mid-air!)\r\n\r\nOur reactions might be defensive or competitive. We might not be willing to compromise or negotiate. However, energy output can run high if we choose to focus. As best as you can, take care of your body and pay attention to its needs.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-7 degrees of <b>Aries, Capricorn, </b></i><b><i>Cancer, </i></b><i>or <b>Libra</b></i><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Mars is the ruler of Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 25th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><strong> all day </strong>(see Saturday early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early morning,</strong> <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:08am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Saturday on; it will remain strong until Sunday night. </strong>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed in order to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\nThis aspect is a fork in the road: We could take a path that leads toward following our personal goals and inspiring others by being direct and enthusiastic. We could also take the path that will lead to us increasing our understanding of intimacy and shared our resources with others. Either way, we can develop a new perspective on how to approach these things. Awareness is key with this aspect: What is needed? How can we serve the broader view?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 21-24 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>A heads-up for next Monday (March 26th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains protective, nurturing</i><em> <strong>Cancer</strong></em><strong> until 7:45am EDT </strong>(see Saturday early morning for details). <strong>At 2:58am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for almost 5 hours, <strong>until 7:45am EDT</strong>. <b>At that time</b>, <em>the Moon moves into </em><i>fun and attention-loving </i><em><strong>Leo,</strong></em> where it will journey<strong> until Wednesday late morning</strong>.

Mercury\'s Station phase ends on Friday, which is also the day you can start taking actions on your New Moon Intentions. Finally, Pluto comes to a halt on Sunday, starting its 5-month retrograde phase.\r\n\r\nThere will also be four <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Monday very early morning (for almost 3 hours), Tuesday early evening (for 14 hours), Friday morning (for almost 2.5 hours), and Sunday late morning (for a little over 2 hours).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (April 16th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in </em><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><em>pioneering, fast-paced </em> </span><em><strong>Aries</strong></em><strong> until 4:51am EDT. </strong><strong>At 1:59am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 3 hours, <strong>until 4:51am EDT. </strong>Use this intuitive time to connect with people that can enthusiastically support your projects and share with them what you have going on.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday early morning ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon conjuncts Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 4:51am EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves</i><b> </b><i>into steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday early morning</strong><b>.</b> We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.\r\n\r\nIn other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\nAlso<b> on Monday</b>, <i>Pluto station intensifies</i><i> </i><b>until April 28th. </b>It will come to a halt on April 22nd in 21 degrees of <b>Capricorn </b>(more on that later this week). When an outer planet stations, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us -- and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take a closer look at whatever is \"in your face\" <b>for the next 3 weeks.</b> Look for what might no longer be in alignment with your soul\'s purpose (your deep, authentic, emotional Self).\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Where am I holding on, out of fear? What habits, behaviors or fears are holding me back from feeling fully empowered from within? What would it look like, if I was fully aligned with my Soul-purpose? How would it feel? When we confront our fears we very often discover hidden gifts and strengths.\r\n\r\nFeel free to watch our mp4 video presentation on this month\'s Saturn and Pluto Station and Retrograde phases in relationship to our own Birth charts...To purchase this webinar, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">click here. </a>\r\n\r\n<b>Special Offer: </b>If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-) <b>Please note </b>that we will be talking about Chiron moving into Aries and Uranus moving into Taurus, in our next Forum.

In the same spirit, we might also have a tendency to live beyond our means.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs you can see, we need to watch out for feeling overly-optimistic or -enthusiastic. Moderation is the keyword, with regard to both finances and our affections: Check your bank account... and keep it real ;-) <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Find the balance between what you value in yourself, with what others could contribute to you feeling empowered.</span>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>?

We experience new depths of intimacy (with an existing or new partner), we learn to appreciate the important people in our lives, and our value system transforms and evolves.\r\n\r\nThis is likely an excellent period for finances as well. Work we\'ve done might pay off, and we are able to manage our finances better, with more attention to sustainability, planning and strategy -- as well as the elimination of anything that no longer serves us. We might renew a commitment, or bring new, deeper and more intimate energy into a relationship under the influence of this aspect.\r\n\r\nOur sexual lives might get a real boost now, as we tend to want to connect on a deeper level. We might find ourselves strongly attracted to someone, almost to the point of obsession. If this aspect connects with any of your personal planets, you might just meet the \"love of your life\". <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nOne thing is for sure -- relationships experienced now are bound to be unforgettable. While this transit tends to signal new or strengthened relationships, any relationship that ends during this cycle may leave us feeling liberated. What are you feeling drawn to on a deep instinctual level? What deep desires are surfacing? What values can you no longer compromise on?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees </i><i>of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> will be most blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Venus being the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday until 6pm EDT,</strong> if you haven\'t set your <em>Intentions</em> yet, this is your last chance to do so during the most potent time! If possible, align them with the New Moon energies that I spoke about in my last video — feel free to watch it again if you are not sure anymore — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here to watch my video on the New Moon</a>: https://youtu.be/J1ILKRA2_pI<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>;-)\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:05pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for 14 hours, <strong>until 8:02am EDT (Wednesday morning).</strong> Use this intuitive time to<span style=\"color: #993300;\"> </span>take care of anything that has value for you on a physical level.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

Take a deep breath whenever you can, as often as you can (especially Monday through Wednesday night of this week).\r\n\r\nSaturn represents our structures, responsibilities, commitments -- and our ability to \"do\" life on life\'s terms. When this planet comes to a halt and turns retrograde, we get to see where we need to create or renew our commitments.

The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late morning</strong>, <em>a Sun/Uranus alignment in 28.5 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> becomes exact at 10:00am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday night (April 14th) on; it will remain strong until this Saturday evening. </strong>This alignment brings confidence and a desire to connect with others through a common cause. We may have sudden insights into our friendships -- and how they connect us to a bigger vision. We know that if we want to move to the next level, we need to strategize with others.\r\n\r\nWe are also asked to connect to the unusual. Our creative core is awakened: We feel compelled to express ourselves in unique (or at least unconventional) ways. Our consciousness expands, we are receptive to new ways of thinking, doing, and living; this increased openness to all that is new and different may bring unexpected opportunities.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned in the <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">New Moon video</a> (https://youtu.be/J1ILKRA2_pI) I posted earlier last week, Uranus symbolizes the desire for freedom, equality and progress. Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>, aligned with the Sun, asks us to break away from whatever keeps us from stepping up our game. Shifts are happening everywhere. It\'s time to develop some courage and awareness: Where do you want to step up? If you made a big leap, where might you land?\r\n\r\nOne thing to remember: Keeping the heart and mind open could make a big difference to the experience of this alignment.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 25-2 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Cancer, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>?

The Sun in Taurus reminds us to slow down and smell the roses.\r\n\r\nWe are able to be very consistent and methodical, which helps us bring groundedness and reality to our new goals. We focus on what is most important to us. What do you value most? How do you feel about yourself and what you bring to the table?\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign.

You may also want to plan Sunday late morning and early afternoon ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon squares Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 11:26am EDT</strong>, <i>Pluto comes to a halt in 21 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, starting its 5-month retrograde phase</i> (until Sept. 30th). Pluto\'s energy will continue to move more slowly until May 5th.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs I already mentioned on Monday, when an outer planet stops, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us -- and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\r\n\r\nDuring the retrograde phase, we will have a chance to connect to anything associated with Pluto from within. Pluto is associated with our soul purpose, as well as the process of empowerment -- our ability to feel empowered from within -- and with our deepest passions. This forced us to see what really motivates us.\r\n\r\n<strong>For the next 5 months,</strong> we need to tap into inner authenticity, embracing the entirety of ourselves — the good, the bad, and the ugly. Paradoxically, this will help us let go of any habits, behaviors or fears that are holding us back from feeling fully empowered from within.\r\n\r\nWe are invited to tap into our passion, strength and Soul\'s purpose from the inside out. This deeper connection will support us in our journey towards authenticity. We can then build long-term goals that are aligned with our Soul\'s purpose. Ask yourself: What do I \"just know\", deep down?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-23 degrees of</i> <b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><i>? If so,<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>you will feel this station/retrograde more strongly.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b> <i>(Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i> <i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 1:09pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Tuesday late afternoon.</strong><b> </b>We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nIf there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\nThis Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Saturday late evening).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early evening, at 5:46pm EDT</strong>, <i>the first Quarter Moon in almost 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo </i></b>becomes exact. <b>We started to feel this aspect from the moment the Moon entered Leo <strong> earlier today at 1:09pm EDT</strong>. </b>The Moon in fun and attention-loving <b>Leo </b>makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in steady,<i> </i>peaceful <b>Taurus</b><b>.</b>\r\n\r\nWe feel compelled to take action. The New Moon took place a week ago (April 15th); \"seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making their first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day interactions with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 0-5 degrees of</i><b><i> Leo, Taurus, Aquarius</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (April 23rd)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>fun and attention-loving </i><strong>Leo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Sunday early afternoon for details).<i> Also,<b> Monday night/Tuesday very early morning</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an opportune Mars/ Saturn aspect</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> becomes exact </span><b>at 1:13am EDT</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More about all the details in next week’s forecast ;-)</span>\r\n\r\n<b>One Last Announcement:</b>\r\n\r\nJoin me for my next FORECASTING FORUM, <b>Monday</b>, <b>April 30th, 2018 at </b>12pm<b> </b>PDT/<b> 3pm EDT</b>/8pm BST (London-time).<b> Please note </b><strong>that we will be talking about Chiron in Aries and Uranus in Taurus.

Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: <strong>wait until after May 3rd</strong>, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 9-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 20th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful</i><strong><i> Taurus </i><b>all day</b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday very early morning,</strong> <em>a Mercury/Venus alignment in 17 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> becomes exact at 12:03am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Friday evening (March 16th) on; it will remain strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">next week,</span> Thursday morning (March 29th). </strong>This is an excellent time to share about bravery, acts of heroism, physical activities, sports, new adventures or endeavors, ourselves, our personal goals -- or anything we feel passionate about -- and also about any teaching endeavors connected to those areas.\r\n\r\nThis alignment supports communicating from a passionate heart -- and in fact, it becomes essential to connect to people with whom we feel a strong affinity. We wish to form those connections in a spirit of harmony, directness and equality. In fact, we tend generally to have a strong sense of fairness at this time, and want to be around people who share this passion.\r\n\r\nWe also thoroughly enjoy the written and spoken word -- literature, wordplay, puns, moving conversations -- especially when these words speak of something new (or courageous).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 14-20 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

We are more aware of our personal goals and we feel a strong urge to move forward, get things done, move closer to our goals. We are quite aware of our own gut instincts and where we are heading. It\'s a great time both for leading others and for carving out our own path.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign.

If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Thursday at 8:19pm EDT, </strong><i>Mercury comes to a still stand in almost 17º of <strong>Aries</strong></i><b><i> </i></b>(<i>starting its 3-week retrograde phase)</i><i>,</i> slowing things down tremendously from Wednesday until Friday. Give yourself extra time to go to work this morning or to get things done. If you are traveling today, just simply go with the flow… you\'ll get there... eventually ;-) The same is true when it comes to all our technological devices…\r\n\r\nThis retrograde phase will last <b>until April 15th. </b>People worry about Mercury retrogrades, but it’s important not to stop one\'s life during these times. As mentioned above, certain things may take longer -- but a retrograde gives us a chance to resolve things that have been keeping us from living our lives in a more wholesome way -- especially things that came up within the past three weeks.\r\n\r\nTake time to investigate your own thought processes... ask yourself: What\'s too busy in my life? What if I got really clear about that?\r\n\r\n<b>For the next three weeks</b>, we\'ll get a chance to explore our belief systems -- to connect from within to what we believe about ourselves, others, and life. It\'s also an opening to readdress communications, learning experiences, and mental conditioning.\r\n\r\nThis is an internal process -- a chance to honor and reorganize our thoughts, working from the inside to the outside -- rethinking retooling and releasing what no longer works.\r\n\r\nWe also get a chance to readdress previous explorations of the truth about life, connecting from within to whatever needs a larger point of view or some kind of revision -- we may even get to reorganize our life, and explore new avenues that are better aligned with our beliefs (if we do the inner work of exploring what work for us and what doesn\'t).\r\n\r\nAs always: with <i>Mercury retrograde</i>, always read the small print -- and re-read a contract before signing (if you have to sign something) -- or ask another person for a second opinion... Basically, during these periods, it\'s best to be aware of any details that we might have overlooked... <i>and</i> check in with our intuition... <i>and</i> stay open to the possibility of renegotiation or adjustments, down the line!\r\n\r\nIn general, Mercury Retrograde is a great time for reevaluating and reorganizing. This is especially true for our thought patterns and decisions (particularly those made in the 3 weeks prior to the start of the retrograde) -- but it\'s true of our lives in general: we can reach a clearer understanding as to what works, and what doesn’t, and what needs to change.\r\n\r\nReconnecting with old friends, clients and family members (especially siblings) is also favored at this time …\r\n\r\nMercury also represents our day-to-day mind; this too is experienced more internally at this time. When it comes to communication, make sure that what you say, write and hear is the same as the intended meaning -- and use the spell-checker ;-)\r\n\r\nAnother thing to take into consideration: how does each Mercury retrograde phase affect your personal birth chart. Do you have any personal planets that Mercury will align with during its retrograde journey? The houses of your chart each represent different areas of your life -- which of the houses in your chart is affected by this retrograde?\r\n\r\n<i>If you have </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as your Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant), or personal planets (or angles) that are in 3-15 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Cancer, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>,</i><b><i> </i></b><i>you can expect to feel the effect of the Mercury retrograde phase more strongly.</i><b><i> </i></b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (March 23rd)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><b><i> Gemini </i>all day</b><strong> </strong>(see Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday evening,</strong> <em>a challenging Venus/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 7:17pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday morning on; it will remain strong until next Monday morning (March 26th).</strong> (18-24 degrees)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 11:52pm EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for 5 hours, <strong>until Saturday March 24th at 4:53am EDT</strong>.

If you are traveling today, just simply go with the flow… you\'ll get there... eventually ;-) The same is true when it comes to all our technological devices…\r\n\r\nThis retrograde phase will last <b>until April 15th. </b>People worry about Mercury retrogrades, but it’s important not to stop one\'s life during these times. As mentioned above, certain things may take longer -- but a retrograde gives us a chance to resolve things that have been keeping us from living our lives in a more wholesome way -- especially things that came up within the past three weeks.\r\n\r\nTake time to investigate your own thought processes... ask yourself: What\'s too busy in my life? What if I got really clear about that?\r\n\r\n<b>For the next three and a half weeks</b>, we\'ll get a chance to explore our belief systems -- to connect from within to what we believe about ourselves, others, and life. It\'s also an opening to readdress communications, learning experiences, and mental conditioning.\r\n\r\nThis is an internal process -- a chance to honor and reorganize our thoughts, working from the inside to the outside -- rethinking retooling and releasing what no longer works.\r\n\r\nWe also get a chance to readdress previous explorations of the truth about life, connecting from within to whatever needs a larger point of view or some kind of revision -- we may even get to reorganize our life, and explore new avenues that are better aligned with our beliefs (if we do the inner work of exploring what work for us and what doesn\'t).\r\n\r\nAs always: with <i>Mercury retrograde</i>, always read the small print -- and re-read a contract before signing (if you have to sign something) -- or ask another person for a second opinion... Basically, during these periods, it\'s best to be aware of any details that we might have overlooked... <i>and</i> check in with our intuition... <i>and</i> stay open to the possibility of renegotiation or adjustments, down the line!\r\n\r\nIn general, Mercury Retrograde is a great time for reevaluating and reorganizing. This is especially true for our thought patterns and decisions (particularly those made in the 3 weeks prior to the start of the retrograde) -- but it\'s true of our lives in general: we can reach a clearer understanding as to what works, and what doesn’t, and what needs to change.\r\n\r\nReconnecting with old friends, clients and family members (especially siblings) is also favored at this time …\r\n\r\nMercury also represents our day-to-day mind; this too is experienced more internally at this time. When it comes to communication, make sure that what you say, write and hear is the same as the intended meaning -- and use the spell-checker ;-)\r\n\r\nAnother thing to take into consideration: how does each Mercury retrograde phase affect your personal birth chart.

Jupiter\'s Station phase ends on Tuesday and the Sun changes signs from Pisces to Aries, early that afternoon (this also marks the Spring Equinox in the Northern hemisphere). Beginning Thursday early morning, it\'s time to take actions on the New Moon Intentions; and the first Quarter Moon in Cancer becomes exact on Saturday late morning.\r\n\r\nThere will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Monday afternoon (for a little over 5.5 hours), Wednesday afternoon (for a little over 12 hours), and Friday late evening (for 5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (March 19th):</strong> <i>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries,</i></b> where it will journey <strong>until 9:07pm EDT</strong>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<b> </b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 3:29pm EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&amp;q=https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1521037231634000&amp;usg=AFQjCNFuoq16C_C2mRa7r8NuShjTsWcHOA\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 5.5 hours, <strong>until 9:07pm EDT. </strong>Use this intuitive time to connect with people that can enthusiastically support your projects and share with them what you have going on.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 9:07pm EDT,</strong> <i>the Moon moves</i><b> </b><i>into steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Thursday very early morning</strong><b>.</b> We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.\r\n\r\nIn other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Monday</strong>, <i>the </i><i>Mercury station intensifies,</i><b> </b>as Mercury is preparing to come to halt this Thursday (March 22nd) at <em>almost 17 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> -- beginning its 3.5-week retrograde phase (more on that later this week). During the station phase, <b>until March 29th,</b> we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments once Mercury is moving direct again (to be more precise, during the shadow phase that follows).\r\n\r\n<strong>For the next 10 days</strong>, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: <strong>wait until after May 3rd</strong>, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 9-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 20th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful</i><strong><i> Taurus </i><b>all day</b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday very early morning,</strong> <em>a Mercury/Venus alignment in 17 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> becomes exact at 12:03am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Friday evening (March 16th) on; it will remain strong until next week, Thursday morning (March 29th). </strong>This is an excellent time to share about bravery, acts of heroism, physical activities, sports, new adventures or endeavors, ourselves, our personal goals -- or anything we feel passionate about -- and also about any teaching endeavors connected to those areas.\r\n\r\nThis alignment supports communicating from a passionate heart -- and in fact, it becomes essential to connect to people with whom we feel a strong affinity. We wish to form those connections in a spirit of harmony, directness, and equality. In fact, we tend generally to have a strong sense of fairness at this time -- and want to be around people who share this passion.\r\n\r\nWe also thoroughly enjoy the written and spoken word -- literature, wordplay, puns, moving conversations -- especially when these words speak of something new (or courageous).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 14-20 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly; the same is true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Virgo, Gemini, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus  </i></b><i>(Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 12:15pm EDT, </strong><i>the Sun changes signs from dreamy </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> to fast-paced, enthusiastic </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>,</i><i> </i>where it will journey<i> </i><b>until April 19th. </b>This is also the <i>Spring (</i>or<i> </i><i>Vernal)</i><i> Equinox.</i>\r\n\r\nThis signifies the beginning of Spring in the Northern hemisphere of this planet, the energetic turning point from one season to the next. Equinoxes are super-potent times for setting intentions. They are energetic gateways, where we experience the inter-relationship between light and dark, inner and outer, spirit and matter.\r\n\r\nWith the Sun entering <b>Aries</b> <b>for the next four weeks</b>, we tend to act first and think later. We are more aware of our personal goals and we feel a strong urge to move forward, get things done, move closer to our goals. We are quite aware of our own gut instincts and where we are heading. It\'s a great time both for leading others and for carving out our own path.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, you will feel energized and physically strong at this time.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 21st)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful</i><strong><i> Taurus </i><b>all day</b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 1:21pm EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 12 hours, <strong>until Thursday, March 22nd at 1:30am EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to balance your desire for comfort and security with your desire for deeper emotional connections with yourself and others.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Thursday at 8:19pm EDT, </strong><i>Mercury comes to a still stand in almost 17º of <strong>Aries</strong></i><b><i> </i></b>(<i>starting its 3.5-week retrograde phase)</i><i>,</i> slowing things down tremendously from Wednesday until Friday.

Do you have any personal planets that Mercury will align with during its retrograde journey? The houses of your chart each represent different areas of your life -- which of the houses in your chart is affected by this retrograde?\r\n\r\n<i>If you have </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as your Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant), or personal planets (or angles) that are in 3-15 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Cancer, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>,</i><b><i> </i></b><i>you can expect to feel the effect of the Mercury retrograde phase more strongly.</i><b><i> </i></b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (March 23rd)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><b><i> Gemini </i>all day</b><strong> </strong>(see Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday evening,</strong> <em>a challenging Venus/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 7:17pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday morning on; it will remain strong until next week, Monday morning (March 26th). </strong>The Universe is asking us to stretch and grow.\r\n\r\nVenus represents our relationships and that which we most value; these areas may undergo major transformations. This aspect challenges us to find meaning in our life through partnerships. We must now uncover the deeper layer of our life. With Pluto in the mix, social interactions could be intense.\r\n\r\nYou may see changes in financial status or relationships. In the latter, things erupt that have been brewing beneath the surface for some time; this may prove disruptive: As best you can, empower rather than disempower. We may become obsessed with our commitments and our partner during this time.\r\n\r\nWe may also experience Pluto <i>through</i> our partner or partnerships, experiencing manipulation and controlling behaviors; we must be especially wary of resisting change and holding onto lower vibrational attachments. It\'s time to let go of destructive attachments and connections. How can we grow and evolve in our partnerships? Is there a relationship that we need to grow and evolve <i>out</i> of?\r\n\r\nThis aspect could also express itself through sexual tension; there is a strong desire for love in its physical expression. However, keep your standards high, so you can come upon a love that fulfills all your needs -- definitely don\'t start a relationship with \"just anyone\", in order to avoid being alone.\r\n\r\nRemember to be true to your own values; wait for someone with whom you can have a relationship based on trust, love and a genuine desire for intimacy -- and work on being worth finding, in the meantime :-) As best as you can, stay grounded in love, not fear. Stay flexible and open-minded. As best as you can, nurture yourself; make sure you have everything you need to be able to come from a place of inner strength &amp; empowerment.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Venus being the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 11:52pm EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for 5 hours, <strong>until Saturday, March 24th at 4:53am EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 24th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><b><i> Gemini </i></b><strong>and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> until 4:53am EDT </strong>(see Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 4:53am EDT,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <b>until <strong>Monday morning</strong>.</b> With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Saturday late morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 11:35am EDT</strong>, <em>the first Quarter Moon in almost 4 degrees of <strong>Cancer</strong> becomes exact.</em> <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered <em>Cancer</em> </strong>(earlier today).\r\n\r\nThe Moon in protective, introverted <b>Cancer </b>makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in bold, fast-paced <b>Aries</b><b>.</b>\r\n\r\nWe feel compelled to take action. Last week on March 17th, the New Moon in Pisces was exact: \"Seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making their first real contact with the outside world. As such, this a time to stretch and grow, and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day interactions with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 2-6 degrees of</i><b><i> Cancer, Aries, Capricorn</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday early afternoon,</strong> <em>a challenging Sun/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:08pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday on; it will remain strong until next week, Tuesday (March 27th). </strong>This invites us to stretch ourselves and grow beyond what we know ourselves to be.\r\n\r\nWe might feel driven by a restless desire to \"<i>do something\"</i>, but we must stay grounded in reality, or our impulsive actions could involve us in needless arguments, or leave us spinning our wheels (it would feel more like they were spinning in mid-air!)\r\n\r\nOur reactions might be defensive or competitive. We might not be willing to compromise or negotiate. However, energy output can run high if we choose to focus. As best as you can, take care of your body and pay attention to its needs.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-7 degrees of <b>Aries, Capricorn, </b></i><b><i>Cancer, </i></b><i>or <b>Libra</b></i><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Mars is the ruler of Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 25th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><strong> all day </strong>(see Saturday early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early morning,</strong> <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:08am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Saturday on; it will remain strong until Sunday night. </strong>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed in order to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\nThis aspect is a fork in the road: We could take a path that leads toward following our personal goals and inspiring others by being direct and enthusiastic. We could also take the path that will lead to us increasing our understanding of intimacy and shared our resources with others. Either way, we can develop a new perspective on how to approach these things. Awareness is key with this aspect: What is needed? How can we serve the broader view?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 21-24 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>A heads-up for next Monday (March 26th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains protective, nurturing</i><em> <strong>Cancer</strong></em><strong> until 7:45am EDT </strong>(see Saturday early morning for details). <strong>At 2:58am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for almost 5 hours, <strong>until 7:45am EDT</strong>. <b>At that time</b>, <em>the Moon moves into </em><i>fun and attention-loving </i><em><strong>Leo,</strong></em> where it will journey<strong> until Wednesday late morning</strong>.

Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<b> </b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 3:29pm EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&amp;q=https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1521037231634000&amp;usg=AFQjCNFuoq16C_C2mRa7r8NuShjTsWcHOA\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 5.5 hours, <strong>until 9:07pm EDT. </strong>Use this intuitive time to connect to people that can enthusiastically support your projects and share with them what you have going on.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-) (<span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">Moon conjuncts Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 9:07pm EDT,</strong> <i>the Moon moves</i><b> </b><i>into steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Thursday very early morning</strong><b>.</b> We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.\r\n\r\nIn other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Monday</strong>, <i>the </i><i>Mercury station intensifies,</i><b> </b>as Mercury is preparing to come to halt this Thursday (March 22nd) at <em>almost 17 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> -- beginning its 3.5-week retrograde phase (more on that later this week). During the station phase, <b><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">until March 29th</span>,</b> we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments once Mercury is moving direct again (to be more precise, during the shadow phase that follows).\r\n\r\n<strong>For the next 10 days</strong>, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: <strong>wait until after May 3rd</strong>, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 9-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 20th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful</i><strong><i> Taurus </i><b>all day</b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday very early morning,</strong> <em>a Mercury/Venus alignment in 17 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> becomes exact at 12:03am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Friday evening (March 16th) on; it will remain strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">next week,</span> Thursday morning (March 29th). </strong>This is an excellent time to share about bravery, acts of heroism, physical activities, sports, new adventures or endeavors, ourselves, our personal goals -- or anything we feel passionate about -- and also about any teaching endeavors connected to those areas.\r\n\r\nThis alignment supports communicating from a passionate heart -- and in fact, it becomes essential to connect to people with whom we feel a strong affinity. We wish to form those connections in a spirit of harmony, directness and equality. In fact, we tend generally to have a strong sense of fairness at this time, and want to be around people who share this passion.\r\n\r\nWe also thoroughly enjoy the written and spoken word -- literature, wordplay, puns, moving conversations -- especially when these words speak of something new (or courageous).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 14-20 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly; the same is true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Virgo, Gemini, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus  </i></b><i>(Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 12:15pm EDT, </strong><i>the Sun changes signs from dreamy </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> to fast-paced, enthusiastic </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>,</i><i> </i>where it will journey<i> </i><b>until April 19th. </b>This is also the <i>Spring (</i>or<i> </i><i>Vernal)</i><i> Equinox.</i>\r\n\r\nThis signifies the beginning of Spring in the Northern hemisphere of this planet, the energetic turning point from one season to the next. Equinoxes are super-potent times for setting intentions. They are energetic gateways, where we experience the inter-relationship between light and dark, inner and outer, spirit and matter.\r\n\r\nWith the Sun entering <b>Aries</b> <b>for the next four weeks</b>, we tend to act first and think later. We are more aware of our personal goals and we feel a strong urge to move forward, get things done, move closer to our goals. We are quite aware of our own gut instincts and where we are heading. It\'s a great time both for leading others and for carving out our own path.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> you will feel energized and physically strong at this time.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 21st)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful</i><strong><i> Taurus </i><b>all day</b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 1:21pm EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 12 hours, <strong>until Thursday March 22nd at 1:30am EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to balance your desire for comfort and security with your desire for deeper emotional connections with yourself and others.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday night/</strong>Thursday very early morning, <strong>at 1:30am EDT,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <strong>until Saturday early morning</strong><b>.</b> For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way…\r\n\r\nThe one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 22nd):</strong> <i>the Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><b><i> Gemini </i>all day</b><strong> </strong>(see Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early morning,</strong> <strong>after 4:22am EDT</strong>,<i> </i>it\'s <i>time to actions on our New Moon intentions</i>: if you set Intentions Saturday, Sunday of last week, or this week Monday morning -- after the New Moon became exact -- today will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Thursday at 8:19pm EDT, </strong><i>Mercury comes to a still stand in almost 17º of <strong>Aries</strong></i><b><i> </i></b>(<i>starting its 3.5-week retrograde phase)</i><i>,</i> slowing things down tremendously from Wednesday until Friday. Give yourself extra time to go to work this morning or to get things done. If you are traveling today, just simply go with the flow… you\'ll get there... eventually ;-) The same is true when it comes to all our technological devices…\r\n\r\nThis retrograde phase will last <b>until April 15th. </b>People worry about Mercury retrogrades, but it’s important not to stop one\'s life during these times. As mentioned above, certain things may take longer -- but a retrograde gives us a chance to resolve things that have been keeping us from living our lives in a more passionate way -- especially things that came up within the past three weeks.\r\n\r\nTake time to investigate your own thought processes... ask yourself: What\'s too busy in my life? What if I got really clear about that?\r\n\r\n<b>For the next three and a half weeks</b>, we\'ll get a chance to explore our personal goals -- to connect from within to what we feel passionate about. It\'s also an opening to readdress communications, learning experiences, and mental conditioning.\r\n\r\nThis is an internal process -- a chance to honor and reorganize our thoughts, working from the inside to the outside -- rethinking, retooling and releasing what no longer works.\r\n\r\nWe also get a chance to explore what we desire for ourselves, connecting from within to whatever needs a more direct and assertive approach or some kind of revision -- we may even get to reorganize our life, and explore new avenues that are better aligned with our personal goals (if we do the inner work of exploring what work for us and what doesn\'t).\r\n\r\nAs always: with <i>Mercury retrograde</i>, always read the small print -- and re-read a contract before signing (if you have to sign something) -- or ask another person for a second opinion... Basically, during these periods, it\'s best to be aware of any details that we might have overlooked... <i>and</i> check in with our intuition... <i>and</i> stay open to the possibility of renegotiation or adjustments, down the line!\r\n\r\nIn general, Mercury Retrograde is a great time for reevaluating and reorganizing. This is especially true for our thought patterns and decisions (particularly those made in the 3 weeks prior to the start of the retrograde) -- but it\'s true of our lives in general: we can reach a clearer understanding as to what works, and what doesn’t, and what needs to change.\r\n\r\nReconnecting with old friends, clients and family members (especially siblings) is also favored at this time …\r\n\r\nMercury also represents our day-to-day mind; this too is experienced more internally at this time. When it comes to communication, make sure that what you say, write and hear is the same as the intended meaning -- and use the spell-checker ;-)\r\n\r\nAnother thing to take into consideration: how does each Mercury retrograde phase affect your personal birth chart. Do you have any personal planets that Mercury will align with during its retrograde journey? The houses of your chart each represent different areas of your life -- which of the houses in your chart is affected by this retrograde?\r\n\r\n<i>If you have </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as your Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant), or personal planets (or angles) that are in 3-15 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Cancer, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>,</i><b><i> </i></b><i>you can expect to feel the effect of the Mercury retrograde phase more strongly.</i><b><i> </i></b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (March 23rd)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><b><i> Gemini </i>all day</b><strong> </strong>(see Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday evening,</strong> <em>a challenging Venus/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 7:17pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday morning on; it will remain strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">next week</span>, Monday morning (March 26th). </strong>The Universe is asking us to stretch and grow.\r\n\r\nVenus represents our relationships and that which we most value; these areas may undergo major transformations. This aspect challenges us to find meaning in our life through partnerships. We must now uncover the deeper layer of our life. With Pluto in the mix, social interactions could be intense.\r\n\r\nYou may see changes in financial status or relationships. In the latter, things erupt that have been brewing beneath the surface for some time; this may prove disruptive: As best you can, empower rather than disempower. We may become obsessed with our commitments and our partner during this time.\r\n\r\nWe may also experience Pluto <i>through</i> our partner or partnerships, experiencing manipulation and controlling behaviors; we must be especially wary of resisting change and holding onto lower vibrational attachments. It\'s time to let go of destructive attachments and connections. How can we grow and evolve in our partnerships? Is there a relationship that we need to grow and evolve <i>out</i> of?\r\n\r\nThis aspect could also express itself through sexual tension; there is a strong desire for love in its physical expression. However, keep your standards high, so you can come upon a love that fulfills all your needs -- definitely don\'t start a relationship with \"just anyone\", in order to avoid being alone.\r\n\r\nRemember to be true to your own values; wait for someone with whom you can have a relationship based on trust, love and a genuine desire for intimacy -- and work on being worth finding, in the meantime :-) As best as you can, stay grounded in love, not fear. Stay flexible and open-minded. As best as you can, nurture yourself; make sure you have everything you need to be able to come from a place of inner strength &amp; empowerment.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Venus being the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 11:52pm EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for 5 hours, <strong>until Saturday March 24th at 4:53am EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Saturday late morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 11:35am <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">EDT</span></strong>, <em>the first Quarter Moon in almost 4 degrees of <strong>Cancer</strong> becomes exact.</em> <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered <em>Cancer</em> </strong>(earlier today).\r\n\r\nThe Moon in protective, introverted <b>Cancer </b>makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in bold, fast-paced <b>Aries</b><b>.</b>\r\n\r\nWe feel compelled to take action.

We might not be willing to compromise or negotiate. However, energy output can run high if we choose to focus.

Seeing the wisdom and possibilities that emerge when my heart leads, seeing what is possible when \"All is One\" leads -- realizing that the power of my love towards myself and others is greater than any fear, division, or the illusion of separation between all of our hearts.\r\n\r\n<b>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have two quick announcements:</b>\r\n\r\n<b>Please note </b>that my full Weekly Forecasts and my Full Moon videos are only available via my new online community. <b>For a limited time only,</b> you can continue receiving all of the wonderful forecasts uninterrupted, for the price of a Cappuccino!

Jupiter\'s Station phase ends on Tuesday and the Sun changes signs from Pisces to Aries, early that afternoon (this also marks the Spring Equinox in the Northern hemisphere). Beginning Thursday early morning, it\'s time to take actions on the New Moon Intentions we formed last week. The first Quarter Moon in Cancer becomes exact on Saturday late morning.\r\n\r\nThere will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Monday afternoon (for a little over 5.5 hours), Wednesday afternoon (for a little over 12 hours), and Friday late evening (for 5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (March 19th):</strong> <i>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries,</i></b> where it will journey <strong>until 9:07pm ED</strong>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<b> </b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 3:29pm EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&amp;q=https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1521037231634000&amp;usg=AFQjCNFuoq16C_C2mRa7r8NuShjTsWcHOA\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 5.5 hours, <strong>until 9:07pm EDT. </strong>Use this intuitive time to connect with people that can enthusiastically support your projects and share with them what you have going on.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-) (<span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">Moon conjuncts Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 9:07pm EDT,</strong> <i>the Moon moves</i><b> </b><i>into steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Thursday very early morning</strong><b>.</b> We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.\r\n\r\nIn other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Monday</strong>, <i>the </i><i>Mercury station intensifies,</i><b> </b>as Mercury is preparing to come to halt this Thursday (March 22nd) at <em>almost 17 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> -- beginning its 3.5-week retrograde phase (more on that later this week). During the station phase, <b><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">until March 29th</span>,</b> we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments once Mercury is moving direct again (to be more precise, during the shadow phase that follows).\r\n\r\n<strong>For the next 10 days</strong>, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: <strong>wait until after May 3rd</strong>, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 9-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 20th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful</i><strong><i> Taurus </i><b>all day</b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday very early morning,</strong> <em>a Mercury/Venus alignment in 17 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> becomes exact at 12:03am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Friday evening (March 16th) on; it will remain strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">next week,</span> Thursday morning (March 29th). </strong>This is an excellent time to share about bravery, acts of heroism, physical activities, sports, new adventures or endeavors, ourselves, our personal goals -- or anything we feel passionate about -- and also about any teaching endeavors connected to those areas.\r\n\r\nThis alignment supports communicating from a passionate heart -- and in fact, it becomes essential to connect to people with whom we feel a strong affinity. We wish to form those connections in a spirit of harmony, directness, and equality. In fact, we tend generally to have a strong sense of fairness at this time -- and want to be around people who share this passion.\r\n\r\nWe also thoroughly enjoy the written and spoken word -- literature, wordplay, puns, moving conversations -- especially when these words speak of something new (or courageous).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 14-20 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly; the same is true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Virgo, Gemini, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus  </i></b><i>(Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 12:15pm EDT, </strong><i>the Sun changes signs from dreamy </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> to fast-paced, enthusiastic </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>,</i><i> </i>where it will journey<i> </i><b>until April 19th. </b>This is also the <i>Spring (</i>or<i> </i><i>Vernal)</i><i> Equinox.</i>\r\n\r\nThis signifies the beginning of Spring in the Northern hemisphere of this planet, the energetic turning point from one season to the next. Equinoxes are super-potent times for setting intentions. They are energetic gateways, where we experience the inter-relationship between light and dark, inner and outer, spirit and matter.\r\n\r\nWith the Sun entering <b>Aries</b> <b>for the next four weeks</b>, we tend to act first and think later. We are more aware of our personal goals and we feel a strong urge to move forward, get things done, move closer to our goals. We are quite aware of our own gut instincts and where we are heading. It\'s a great time both for leading others and for carving out our own path.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, you will feel energized and physically strong at this time.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 21st)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful</i><strong><i> Taurus </i><b>all day</b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 1:21pm EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 12 hours, <strong>until Thursday, March 22nd at 1:30am EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to balance your desire for comfort and security with your desire for deeper emotional connections with yourself and others.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday night/</strong>Thursday very early morning, <strong>at 1:30am EDT,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <strong>until Saturday early morning</strong><b>.</b> For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way…\r\n\r\nThe one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 22nd):</strong> <i>the Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><b><i> Gemini </i>all day</b><strong> </strong>(see Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early morning,</strong> <strong>after 4:22am EDT</strong>,<i> </i>it\'s <i>time to actions on our New Moon intentions</i>: if you set Intentions Saturday, Sunday of last week, or this week Monday morning -- after the New Moon became exact -- today will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Thursday at 8:19pm EDT, </strong><i>Mercury comes to a still stand in almost 17º of <strong>Aries</strong></i><b><i> </i></b>(<i>starting its 3.5-week retrograde phase)</i><i>,</i> slowing things down tremendously from Wednesday until Friday.

If you are traveling today, just simply go with the flow… you\'ll get there... eventually ;-) The same is true when it comes to all our technological devices…\r\n\r\nThis retrograde phase will last <b>until April 15th. </b>People worry about Mercury retrogrades, but it’s important not to stop one\'s life during these times. As mentioned above, certain things may take longer -- but a retrograde gives us a chance to resolve things that have been keeping us from living our lives in a more passionate way -- especially things that came up within the past three weeks.\r\n\r\nTake time to investigate your own thought processes... ask yourself: What\'s too busy in my life? What if I got really clear about that?\r\n\r\n<b>For the next three and a half weeks</b>, we\'ll get a chance to explore our personal goals -- to connect from within to what we feel passionate about. It\'s also an opening to readdress communications, learning experiences, and mental conditioning.\r\n\r\nThis is an internal process -- a chance to honor and reorganize our thoughts, working from the inside to the outside -- rethinking, retooling and releasing what no longer works.\r\n\r\nWe also get a chance to explore what we desire for ourselves, connecting from within to whatever needs a more direct and assertive approach or some kind of revision -- we may even get to reorganize our life, and explore new avenues that are better aligned with our personal goals (if we do the inner work of exploring what work for us and what doesn\'t).\r\n\r\nAs always: with <i>Mercury retrograde</i>, always read the small print -- and re-read a contract before signing (if you have to sign something) -- or ask another person for a second opinion... Basically, during these periods, it\'s best to be aware of any details that we might have overlooked... <i>and</i> check in with our intuition... <i>and</i> stay open to the possibility of renegotiation or adjustments, down the line!\r\n\r\nIn general, Mercury Retrograde is a great time for reevaluating and reorganizing. This is especially true for our thought patterns and decisions (particularly those made in the 3 weeks prior to the start of the retrograde) -- but it\'s true of our lives in general: we can reach a clearer understanding as to what works, and what doesn’t, and what needs to change.\r\n\r\nReconnecting with old friends, clients and family members (especially siblings) is also favored at this time …\r\n\r\nMercury also represents our day-to-day mind; this too is experienced more internally at this time. When it comes to communication, make sure that what you say, write and hear is the same as the intended meaning -- and use the spell-checker ;-)\r\n\r\nAnother thing to take into consideration: how does each Mercury retrograde phase affect your personal birth chart. Do you have any personal planets that Mercury will align with during its retrograde journey? The houses of your chart each represent different areas of your life -- which of the houses in your chart is affected by this retrograde?\r\n\r\n<i>If you have </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as your Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant), or personal planets (or angles) that are in 3-15 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Cancer, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>,</i><b><i> </i></b><i>you can expect to feel the effect of the Mercury retrograde phase more strongly.</i><b><i> </i></b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (March 23rd)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><b><i> Gemini </i>all day</b><strong> </strong>(see Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday evening,</strong> <em>a challenging Venus/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 7:17pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday morning on; it will remain strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">next week</span>, Monday morning (March 26th). </strong>The Universe is asking us to stretch and grow.\r\n\r\nVenus represents our relationships and that which we most value; these areas may undergo major transformations. This aspect challenges us to find meaning in our life through partnerships. We must now uncover the deeper layer of our life. With Pluto in the mix, social interactions could be intense.\r\n\r\nYou may see changes in financial status or relationships. In the latter, things erupt that have been brewing beneath the surface for some time; this may prove disruptive: As best you can, empower rather than disempower. We may become obsessed with our commitments and our partner during this time.\r\n\r\nWe may also experience Pluto <i>through</i> our partner or partnerships, experiencing manipulation and controlling behaviors; we must be especially wary of resisting change and holding onto lower vibrational attachments. It\'s time to let go of destructive attachments and connections. How can we grow and evolve in our partnerships? Is there a relationship that we need to grow and evolve <i>out</i> of?\r\n\r\nThis aspect could also express itself through sexual tension; there is a strong desire for love in its physical expression. However, keep your standards high, so you can come upon a love that fulfills all your needs -- definitely don\'t start a relationship with \"just anyone\", in order to avoid being alone.\r\n\r\nRemember to be true to your own values; wait for someone with whom you can have a relationship based on trust, love and a genuine desire for intimacy -- and work on being worth finding, in the meantime :-) As best as you can, stay grounded in love, not fear. Stay flexible and open-minded. As best as you can, nurture yourself; make sure you have everything you need to be able to come from a place of inner strength &amp; empowerment.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Venus being the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 11:52pm EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for 5 hours, <strong>until Saturday, March 24th at 4:53am EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday evening ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon sextiles Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 24th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><b><i> Gemini </i></b><strong>and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> until 4:53am EDT </strong>(see Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 4:53am EDT,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <b>until <strong>Monday morning</strong>.</b> With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Saturday late morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 11:35am <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">EDT</span></strong>, <em>the first Quarter Moon in almost 4 degrees of <strong>Cancer</strong> becomes exact.</em> <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered <em>Cancer</em> </strong>(earlier today).\r\n\r\nThe Moon in protective, introverted <b>Cancer </b>makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in bold, fast-paced <b>Aries</b><b>.</b>\r\n\r\nWe feel compelled to take action. Last week on March 17th, the New Moon in Pisces was exact: \"Seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making their first real contact with the outside world. As such, this a time to stretch and grow, and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day interactions with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 2-6 degrees of</i><b><i> Cancer, Aries, Capricorn</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday early afternoon,</strong> <em>a challenging Sun/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:08pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday on; it will remain strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">next week,</span> Tuesday (March 27th). </strong>This invites us to stretch ourselves and grow beyond what we know ourselves to be.\r\n\r\nWe might feel driven by a restless desire to \"<i>do something\"</i>, but we must stay grounded in reality, or our impulsive actions could involve us in needless arguments, or leave us spinning our wheels (it would feel more like they were spinning in mid-air!)\r\n\r\nOur reactions might be defensive or competitive. We might not be willing to compromise or negotiate. However, energy output can run high if we choose to focus. As best as you can, take care of your body and pay attention to its needs.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-7 degrees of <b>Aries, Capricorn, </b></i><b><i>Cancer, </i></b><i>or <b>Libra</b></i><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Mars is the ruler of Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 25th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><strong> all day </strong>(see Saturday early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early morning,</strong> <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:08am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Saturday on; it will remain strong until Sunday night. </strong>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed in order to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\nThis aspect is a fork in the road: We could take a path that leads toward following our personal goals and inspiring others by being direct and enthusiastic. We could also take the path that will lead to us increasing our understanding of intimacy and shared our resources with others. Either way, we can develop a new perspective on how to approach these things. Awareness is key with this aspect: What is needed? How can we serve the broader view?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 21-24 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>A heads-up for next Monday (March 26th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains protective, nurturing</i><em> <strong>Cancer</strong></em><strong> until 7:45am EDT </strong>(see Saturday early morning for details). <strong>At 2:58am <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">EDT</span></strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for almost 5 hours, <strong>until 7:45am EDT</strong>. <b>At that time</b>, <em>the Moon moves into </em><i>fun and attention-loving </i><em><strong>Leo,</strong></em> where it will journey<strong> until Wednesday late morning</strong>.

Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<b> </b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 3:29pm EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&amp;q=https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1521037231634000&amp;usg=AFQjCNFuoq16C_C2mRa7r8NuShjTsWcHOA\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 5.5 hours, <strong>until 9:07pm EDT. </strong>Use this intuitive time to connect to people that can enthusiastically support your projects and share with them what you have going on.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-) (<span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">Moon conjuncts Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 9:07pm EDT,</strong> <i>the Moon moves</i><b> </b><i>into steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Thursday very early morning</strong><b>.</b> We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.\r\n\r\nIn other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Monday</strong>, <i>the </i><i>Mercury station intensifies,</i><b> </b>as Mercury is preparing to come to halt this Thursday (March 22nd) at <em>almost 17 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> -- beginning its 3.5-week retrograde phase (more on that later this week). During the station phase, <b><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">until March 29th</span>,</b> we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments once Mercury is moving direct again (to be more precise, during the shadow phase that follows).\r\n\r\n<strong>For the next 10 days</strong>, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: <strong>wait until after May 3rd</strong>, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 9-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 20th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful</i><strong><i> Taurus </i><b>all day</b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday very early morning,</strong> <em>a Mercury/Venus alignment in 17 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> becomes exact at 12:03am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Friday evening (March 16th) on; it will remain strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">next week,</span> Thursday morning (March 29th). </strong>This is an excellent time to share about bravery, acts of heroism, physical activities, sports, new adventures or endeavors, ourselves, our personal goals -- or anything we feel passionate about -- and also about any teaching endeavors connected to those areas.\r\n\r\nThis alignment supports communicating from a passionate heart -- and in fact, it becomes essential to connect to people with whom we feel a strong affinity. We wish to form those connections in a spirit of harmony, directness and equality. In fact, we tend generally to have a strong sense of fairness at this time, and want to be around people who share this passion.\r\n\r\nWe also thoroughly enjoy the written and spoken word -- literature, wordplay, puns, moving conversations -- especially when these words speak of something new (or courageous).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 14-20 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly; the same is true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Virgo, Gemini, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus  </i></b><i>(Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 12:15pm EDT, </strong><i>the Sun changes signs from dreamy </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> to fast-paced, enthusiastic </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>,</i><i> </i>where it will journey<i> </i><b>until April 19th. </b>This is also the <i>Spring (</i>or<i> </i><i>Vernal)</i><i> Equinox.</i>\r\n\r\nThis signifies the beginning of Spring in the Northern hemisphere of this planet, the energetic turning point from one season to the next. Equinoxes are super-potent times for setting intentions. They are energetic gateways, where we experience the inter-relationship between light and dark, inner and outer, spirit and matter.\r\n\r\nWith the Sun entering <b>Aries</b> <b>for the next four weeks</b>, we tend to act first and think later. We are more aware of our personal goals and we feel a strong urge to move forward, get things done, move closer to our goals. We are quite aware of our own gut instincts and where we are heading. It\'s a great time both for leading others and for carving out our own path.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> you will feel energized and physically strong at this time.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 21st)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful</i><strong><i> Taurus </i><b>all day</b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 1:21pm EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 12 hours, <strong>until Thursday March 22nd at 1:30am EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to balance your desire for comfort and security with your desire for deeper emotional connections with yourself and others.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday night/</strong>Thursday very early morning, <strong>at 1:30am EDT,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <strong>until Saturday early morning</strong><b>.</b> For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way…\r\n\r\nThe one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 22nd):</strong> <i>the Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><b><i> Gemini </i>all day</b><strong> </strong>(see Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early morning,</strong> <strong>after 4:22am EDT</strong>,<i> </i>it\'s <i>time to actions on our New Moon intentions</i>: if you set Intentions Saturday, Sunday of last week, or this week Monday morning -- after the New Moon became exact -- today will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Thursday at 8:19pm EDT, </strong><i>Mercury comes to a still stand in almost 17º of <strong>Aries</strong></i><b><i> </i></b>(<i>starting its 3.5-week retrograde phase)</i><i>,</i> slowing things down tremendously from Wednesday until Friday. Give yourself extra time to go to work this morning or to get things done. If you are traveling today, just simply go with the flow… you\'ll get there... eventually ;-) The same is true when it comes to all our technological devices…\r\n\r\nThis retrograde phase will last <b>until April 15th. </b>People worry about Mercury retrogrades, but it’s important not to stop one\'s life during these times. As mentioned above, certain things may take longer -- but a retrograde gives us a chance to resolve things that have been keeping us from living our lives in a more passionate way -- especially things that came up within the past three weeks.\r\n\r\nTake time to investigate your own thought processes... ask yourself: What\'s too busy in my life? What if I got really clear about that?\r\n\r\n<b>For the next three and a half weeks</b>, we\'ll get a chance to explore our personal goals -- to connect from within to what we feel passionate about. It\'s also an opening to readdress communications, learning experiences, and mental conditioning.\r\n\r\nThis is an internal process -- a chance to honor and reorganize our thoughts, working from the inside to the outside -- rethinking, retooling and releasing what no longer works.\r\n\r\nWe also get a chance to explore what we desire for ourselves, connecting from within to whatever needs a more direct and assertive approach or some kind of revision -- we may even get to reorganize our life, and explore new avenues that are better aligned with our personal goals (if we do the inner work of exploring what work for us and what doesn\'t).\r\n\r\nAs always: with <i>Mercury retrograde</i>, always read the small print -- and re-read a contract before signing (if you have to sign something) -- or ask another person for a second opinion... Basically, during these periods, it\'s best to be aware of any details that we might have overlooked... <i>and</i> check in with our intuition... <i>and</i> stay open to the possibility of renegotiation or adjustments, down the line!\r\n\r\nIn general, Mercury Retrograde is a great time for reevaluating and reorganizing. This is especially true for our thought patterns and decisions (particularly those made in the 3 weeks prior to the start of the retrograde) -- but it\'s true of our lives in general: we can reach a clearer understanding as to what works, and what doesn’t, and what needs to change.\r\n\r\nReconnecting with old friends, clients and family members (especially siblings) is also favored at this time …\r\n\r\nMercury also represents our day-to-day mind; this too is experienced more internally at this time. When it comes to communication, make sure that what you say, write and hear is the same as the intended meaning -- and use the spell-checker ;-)\r\n\r\nAnother thing to take into consideration: how does each Mercury retrograde phase affect your personal birth chart. Do you have any personal planets that Mercury will align with during its retrograde journey? The houses of your chart each represent different areas of your life -- which of the houses in your chart is affected by this retrograde?\r\n\r\n<i>If you have </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as your Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant), or personal planets (or angles) that are in 3-15 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Cancer, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>,</i><b><i> </i></b><i>you can expect to feel the effect of the Mercury retrograde phase more strongly.</i><b><i> </i></b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (March 23rd)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><b><i> Gemini </i>all day</b><strong> </strong>(see Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday evening,</strong> <em>a challenging Venus/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 7:17pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday morning on; it will remain strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">next week</span>, Monday morning (March 26th). </strong>The Universe is asking us to stretch and grow.\r\n\r\nVenus represents our relationships and that which we most value; these areas may undergo major transformations. This aspect challenges us to find meaning in our life through partnerships. We must now uncover the deeper layer of our life. With Pluto in the mix, social interactions could be intense.\r\n\r\nYou may see changes in financial status or relationships. In the latter, things erupt that have been brewing beneath the surface for some time; this may prove disruptive: As best you can, empower rather than disempower. We may become obsessed with our commitments and our partner during this time.\r\n\r\nWe may also experience Pluto <i>through</i> our partner or partnerships, experiencing manipulation and controlling behaviors; we must be especially wary of resisting change and holding onto lower vibrational attachments. It\'s time to let go of destructive attachments and connections. How can we grow and evolve in our partnerships? Is there a relationship that we need to grow and evolve <i>out</i> of?\r\n\r\nThis aspect could also express itself through sexual tension; there is a strong desire for love in its physical expression. However, keep your standards high, so you can come upon a love that fulfills all your needs -- definitely don\'t start a relationship with \"just anyone\", in order to avoid being alone.\r\n\r\nRemember to be true to your own values; wait for someone with whom you can have a relationship based on trust, love and a genuine desire for intimacy -- and work on being worth finding, in the meantime :-) As best as you can, stay grounded in love, not fear. Stay flexible and open-minded. As best as you can, nurture yourself; make sure you have everything you need to be able to come from a place of inner strength &amp; empowerment.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Venus being the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 11:52pm EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for 5 hours, <strong>until Saturday March 24th at 4:53am EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday evening ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon sextiles Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 24th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><b><i> Gemini </i></b><strong>and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> until 4:53am EDT </strong>(see Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 4:53am EDT,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <b>until <strong>Monday morning</strong>.</b> With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Saturday late morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 11:35am <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">EDT</span></strong>, <em>the first Quarter Moon in almost 4 degrees of <strong>Cancer</strong> becomes exact.</em> <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered <em>Cancer</em> </strong>(earlier today).\r\n\r\nThe Moon in protective, introverted <b>Cancer </b>makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in bold, fast-paced <b>Aries</b><b>.</b>\r\n\r\nWe feel compelled to take action. Last week on March 17th, the New Moon in Pisces was exact: \"Seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making their first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day interactions with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 2-6 degrees of</i><b><i> Cancer, Aries, Capricorn</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i>?

We might not be willing to compromise or negotiate. However, energy output can run high if we choose to focus. As best as you can, take care of your body and pay attention to its needs.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-7 degrees of <b>Aries, Capricorn, </b></i><b><i>Cancer, </i></b><i>or <b>Libra</b></i><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Mars is the ruler of Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 25th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><strong> all day </strong>(see Saturday early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early morning,</strong> <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:08am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Saturday on; it will remain strong until Sunday night. </strong>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed in order to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\nThis aspect is a fork in the road: We could take a path that leads toward following our personal goals and inspiring others by being direct and enthusiastic. We could also take the path that will lead to us increasing our understanding of intimacy and shared our resources with others. Either way, we can develop a new perspective on how to approach these things. Awareness is key with this aspect: What is needed? How can we serve the broader view?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 21-24 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>?

Jupiter\'s Station phase ends on Tuesday and the Sun changes signs from Pisces to Aries, early that afternoon (this also marks the Spring Equinox in the Northern hemisphere). Beginning Thursday early morning, it\'s time to take actions on the New Moon Intentions; and the first Quarter Moon in Cancer becomes exact on Saturday late morning.\r\n\r\nThere will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Monday afternoon (for a little over 5.5 hours), Wednesday afternoon (for a little over 12 hours), and Friday late evening (for 5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (March 19th):</strong> <i>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries,</i></b> where it will journey <strong>until 9:07pm ED</strong>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<b> </b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 3:29pm EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&amp;q=https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1521037231634000&amp;usg=AFQjCNFuoq16C_C2mRa7r8NuShjTsWcHOA\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 5.5 hours, <strong>until 9:07pm EDT. </strong>Use this intuitive time to connect with people that can enthusiastically support your projects and share with them what you have going on.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-) (<span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">Moon conjuncts Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 9:07pm EDT,</strong> <i>the Moon moves</i><b> </b><i>into steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Thursday very early morning</strong><b>.</b> We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.\r\n\r\nIn other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Monday</strong>, <i>the </i><i>Mercury station intensifies,</i><b> </b>as Mercury is preparing to come to halt this Thursday (March 22nd) at <em>almost 17 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> -- beginning its 3.5-week retrograde phase (more on that later this week). During the station phase, <b><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">until March 29th</span>,</b> we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments once Mercury is moving direct again (to be more precise, during the shadow phase that follows).\r\n\r\n<strong>For the next 10 days</strong>, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: <strong>wait until after May 3rd</strong>, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 9-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 20th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful</i><strong><i> Taurus </i><b>all day</b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday very early morning,</strong> <em>a Mercury/Venus alignment in 17 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> becomes exact at 12:03am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Friday evening (March 16th) on; it will remain strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">next week,</span> Thursday morning (March 29th). </strong>This is an excellent time to share about bravery, acts of heroism, physical activities, sports, new adventures or endeavors, ourselves, our personal goals -- or anything we feel passionate about -- and also about any teaching endeavors connected to those areas.\r\n\r\nThis alignment supports communicating from a passionate heart -- and in fact, it becomes essential to connect to people with whom we feel a strong affinity. We wish to form those connections in a spirit of harmony, directness, and equality. In fact, we tend generally to have a strong sense of fairness at this time -- and want to be around people who share this passion.\r\n\r\nWe also thoroughly enjoy the written and spoken word -- literature, wordplay, puns, moving conversations -- especially when these words speak of something new (or courageous).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 14-20 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

Equinoxes are super-potent times for setting intentions. They are energetic gateways, where we experience the inter-relationship between light and dark, inner and outer, spirit and matter.\r\n\r\nWith the Sun entering <b>Aries</b> <b>for the next four weeks</b>, we tend to act first and think later. We are more aware of our personal goals and we feel a strong urge to move forward, get things done, move closer to our goals. We are quite aware of our own gut instincts and where we are heading. It\'s a great time both for leading others and for carving out our own path.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, you will feel energized and physically strong at this time.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 21st)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful</i><strong><i> Taurus </i><b>all day</b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 1:21pm EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 12 hours, <strong>until Thursday, March 22nd at 1:30am EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to balance your desire for comfort and security with your desire for deeper emotional connections with yourself and others.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Thursday at 8:19pm EDT, </strong><i>Mercury comes to a still stand in almost 17º of <strong>Aries</strong></i><b><i> </i></b>(<i>starting its 3.5-week retrograde phase)</i><i>,</i> slowing things down tremendously from Wednesday until Friday. Give yourself extra time to go to work this morning or to get things done. If you are traveling today, just simply go with the flow… you\'ll get there... eventually ;-) The same is true when it comes to all our technological devices…\r\n\r\nThis retrograde phase will last <b>until April 15th. </b>People worry about Mercury retrogrades, but it’s important not to stop one\'s life during these times. As mentioned above, certain things may take longer -- but a retrograde gives us a chance to resolve things that have been keeping us from living our lives in a more passionate way -- especially things that came up within the past three weeks.\r\n\r\nTake time to investigate your own thought processes... ask yourself: What\'s too busy in my life? What if I got really clear about that?\r\n\r\n<b>For the next three and a half weeks</b>, we\'ll get a chance to explore our personal goals -- to connect from within to what we feel passionate about. It\'s also an opening to readdress communications, learning experiences, and mental conditioning.\r\n\r\nThis is an internal process -- a chance to honor and reorganize our thoughts, working from the inside to the outside -- rethinking, retooling and releasing what no longer works.\r\n\r\nWe also get a chance to explore what we desire for ourselves, connecting from within to whatever needs a more direct and assertive approach or some kind of revision -- we may even get to reorganize our life, and explore new avenues that are better aligned with our personal goals (if we do the inner work of exploring what work for us and what doesn\'t).\r\n\r\nAs always: with <i>Mercury retrograde</i>, always read the small print -- and re-read a contract before signing (if you have to sign something) -- or ask another person for a second opinion... Basically, during these periods, it\'s best to be aware of any details that we might have overlooked... <i>and</i> check in with our intuition... <i>and</i> stay open to the possibility of renegotiation or adjustments, down the line!\r\n\r\nIn general, Mercury Retrograde is a great time for reevaluating and reorganizing. This is especially true for our thought patterns and decisions (particularly those made in the 3 weeks prior to the start of the retrograde) -- but it\'s true of our lives in general: we can reach a clearer understanding as to what works, and what doesn’t, and what needs to change.\r\n\r\nReconnecting with old friends, clients and family members (especially siblings) is also favored at this time …\r\n\r\nMercury also represents our day-to-day mind; this too is experienced more internally at this time. When it comes to communication, make sure that what you say, write and hear is the same as the intended meaning -- and use the spell-checker ;-)\r\n\r\nAnother thing to take into consideration: how does each Mercury retrograde phase affect your personal birth chart. Do you have any personal planets that Mercury will align with during its retrograde journey? The houses of your chart each represent different areas of your life -- which of the houses in your chart is affected by this retrograde?\r\n\r\n<i>If you have </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as your Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant), or personal planets (or angles) that are in 3-15 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Cancer, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>,</i><b><i> </i></b><i>you can expect to feel the effect of the Mercury retrograde phase more strongly.</i><b><i> </i></b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (March 23rd)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><b><i> Gemini </i>all day</b><strong> </strong>(see Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday evening,</strong> <em>a challenging Venus/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 7:17pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday morning on; it will remain strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">next week</span>, Monday morning (March 26th). </strong>The Universe is asking us to stretch and grow.\r\n\r\nVenus represents our relationships and that which we most value; these areas may undergo major transformations. This aspect challenges us to find meaning in our life through partnerships. We must now uncover the deeper layer of our life. With Pluto in the mix, social interactions could be intense.\r\n\r\nYou may see changes in financial status or relationships. In the latter, things erupt that have been brewing beneath the surface for some time; this may prove disruptive: As best you can, empower rather than disempower. We may become obsessed with our commitments and our partner during this time.\r\n\r\nWe may also experience Pluto <i>through</i> our partner or partnerships, experiencing manipulation and controlling behaviors; we must be especially wary of resisting change and holding onto lower vibrational attachments. It\'s time to let go of destructive attachments and connections. How can we grow and evolve in our partnerships? Is there a relationship that we need to grow and evolve <i>out</i> of?\r\n\r\nThis aspect could also express itself through sexual tension; there is a strong desire for love in its physical expression. However, keep your standards high, so you can come upon a love that fulfills all your needs -- definitely don\'t start a relationship with \"just anyone\", in order to avoid being alone.\r\n\r\nRemember to be true to your own values; wait for someone with whom you can have a relationship based on trust, love and a genuine desire for intimacy -- and work on being worth finding, in the meantime :-) As best as you can, stay grounded in love, not fear. Stay flexible and open-minded. As best as you can, nurture yourself; make sure you have everything you need to be able to come from a place of inner strength &amp; empowerment.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Venus being the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 11:52pm EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for 5 hours, <strong>until Saturday, March 24th at 4:53am EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday evening ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon sextiles Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 24th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><b><i> Gemini </i></b><strong>and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> until 4:53am EDT </strong>(see Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 4:53am EDT,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <b>until <strong>Monday morning</strong>.</b> With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Saturday late morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 11:35am <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">EDT</span></strong>, <em>the first Quarter Moon in almost 4 degrees of <strong>Cancer</strong> becomes exact.</em> <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered <em>Cancer</em> </strong>(earlier today).\r\n\r\nThe Moon in protective, introverted <b>Cancer </b>makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in bold, fast-paced <b>Aries</b><b>.</b>\r\n\r\nWe feel compelled to take action. Last week on March 17th, the New Moon in Pisces was exact: \"Seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making their first real contact with the outside world. As such, this a time to stretch and grow, and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day interactions with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 2-6 degrees of</i><b><i> Cancer, Aries, Capricorn</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday early afternoon,</strong> <em>a challenging Sun/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:08pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday on; it will remain strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">next week,</span> Tuesday (March 27th). </strong>This invites us to stretch ourselves and grow beyond what we know ourselves to be.\r\n\r\nWe might feel driven by a restless desire to \"<i>do something\"</i>, but we must stay grounded in reality, or our impulsive actions could involve us in needless arguments, or leave us spinning our wheels (it would feel more like they were spinning in mid-air!)\r\n\r\nOur reactions might be defensive or competitive. We might not be willing to compromise or negotiate. However, energy output can run high if we choose to focus. As best as you can, take care of your body and pay attention to its needs.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-7 degrees of <b>Aries, Capricorn, </b></i><b><i>Cancer, </i></b><i>or <b>Libra</b></i><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Mars is the ruler of Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 25th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><strong> all day </strong>(see Saturday early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early morning,</strong> <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:08am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Saturday on; it will remain strong until Sunday night. </strong>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed in order to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\nThis aspect is a fork in the road: We could take a path that leads toward following our personal goals and inspiring others by being direct and enthusiastic. We could also take the path that will lead to us increasing our understanding of intimacy and shared our resources with others. Either way, we can develop a new perspective on how to approach these things. Awareness is key with this aspect: What is needed? How can we serve the broader view?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 21-24 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>?

Jupiter\'s Station phase ends on Tuesday and the Sun changes signs from Pisces to Aries, early that afternoon (this also marks the Spring Equinox in the Northern hemisphere). Beginning Thursday early morning, it\'s time to take actions on the New Moon Intentions; and the first Quarter Moon in Cancer becomes exact on Saturday late morning.\r\n\r\nThere will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Monday afternoon (for a little over 5.5 hours), Wednesday afternoon (for a little over 12 hours), and Friday late evening (for 5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (March 19th):</strong> <i>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries,</i></b> where it will journey <strong>until 9:07pm ED</strong>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<b> </b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 3:29pm EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&amp;q=https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1521037231634000&amp;usg=AFQjCNFuoq16C_C2mRa7r8NuShjTsWcHOA\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 5.5 hours, <strong>until 9:07pm EDT. </strong>Use this intuitive time to connect with people that can enthusiastically support your projects and share with them what you have going on.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-) (<span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">Moon conjuncts Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 9:07pm EDT,</strong> <i>the Moon moves</i><b> </b><i>into steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Thursday very early morning</strong><b>.</b> We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.\r\n\r\nIn other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Monday</strong>, <i>the </i><i>Mercury station intensifies,</i><b> </b>as Mercury is preparing to come to halt this Thursday (March 22nd) at <em>almost 17 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> -- beginning its 3.5-week retrograde phase (more on that later this week). During the station phase, <b><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">until March 29th</span>,</b> we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments once Mercury is moving direct again (to be more precise, during the shadow phase that follows).\r\n\r\n<strong>For the next 10 days</strong>, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: <strong>wait until after May 3rd</strong>, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 9-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 20th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful</i><strong><i> Taurus </i><b>all day</b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday very early morning,</strong> <em>a Mercury/Venus alignment in 17 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> becomes exact at 12:03am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Friday evening (March 16th) on; it will remain strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">next week,</span> Thursday morning (March 29th). </strong>This is an excellent time to share about bravery, acts of heroism, physical activities, sports, new adventures or endeavors, ourselves, our personal goals -- or anything we feel passionate about -- and also about any teaching endeavors connected to those areas.\r\n\r\nThis alignment supports communicating from a passionate heart -- and in fact, it becomes essential to connect to people with whom we feel a strong affinity. We wish to form those connections in a spirit of harmony, directness, and equality. In fact, we tend generally to have a strong sense of fairness at this time -- and want to be around people who share this passion.\r\n\r\nWe also thoroughly enjoy the written and spoken word -- literature, wordplay, puns, moving conversations -- especially when these words speak of something new (or courageous).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 14-20 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly; the same is true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Virgo, Gemini, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus  </i></b><i>(Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 12:15pm EDT, </strong><i>the Sun changes signs from dreamy </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> to fast-paced, enthusiastic </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>,</i><i> </i>where it will journey<i> </i><b>until April 19th. </b>This is also the <i>Spring (</i>or<i> </i><i>Vernal)</i><i> Equinox.</i>\r\n\r\nThis signifies the beginning of Spring in the Northern hemisphere of this planet, the energetic turning point from one season to the next. Equinoxes are super-potent times for setting intentions. They are energetic gateways, where we experience the inter-relationship between light and dark, inner and outer, spirit and matter.\r\n\r\nWith the Sun entering <b>Aries</b> <b>for the next four weeks</b>, we tend to act first and think later. We are more aware of our personal goals and we feel a strong urge to move forward, get things done, move closer to our goals. We are quite aware of our own gut instincts and where we are heading. It\'s a great time both for leading others and for carving out our own path.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, you will feel energized and physically strong at this time.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 21st)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful</i><strong><i> Taurus </i><b>all day</b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 1:21pm EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 12 hours, <strong>until Thursday, March 22nd at 1:30am EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to balance your desire for comfort and security with your desire for deeper emotional connections with yourself and others.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

This is especially true for our thought patterns and decisions (particularly those made in the 3 weeks prior to the start of the retrograde) -- but it\'s true of our lives in general: we can reach a clearer understanding as to what works, and what doesn’t, and what needs to change.\r\n\r\nReconnecting with old friends, clients and family members (especially siblings) is also favored at this time …\r\n\r\nMercury also represents our day-to-day mind; this too is experienced more internally at this time. When it comes to communication, make sure that what you say, write and hear is the same as the intended meaning -- and use the spell-checker ;-)\r\n\r\nAnother thing to take into consideration: how does each Mercury retrograde phase affect your personal birth chart. Do you have any personal planets that Mercury will align with during its retrograde journey? The houses of your chart each represent different areas of your life -- which of the houses in your chart is affected by this retrograde?\r\n\r\n<i>If you have </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as your Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant), or personal planets (or angles) that are in 3-15 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Cancer, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>,</i><b><i> </i></b><i>you can expect to feel the effect of the Mercury retrograde phase more strongly.</i><b><i> </i></b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (March 23rd)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><b><i> Gemini </i>all day</b><strong> </strong>(see Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday evening,</strong> <em>a challenging Venus/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 7:17pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday morning on; it will remain strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">next week</span>, Monday morning (March 26th). </strong>The Universe is asking us to stretch and grow.\r\n\r\nVenus represents our relationships and that which we most value; these areas may undergo major transformations. This aspect challenges us to find meaning in our life through partnerships. We must now uncover the deeper layer of our life. With Pluto in the mix, social interactions could be intense.\r\n\r\nYou may see changes in financial status or relationships. In the latter, things erupt that have been brewing beneath the surface for some time; this may prove disruptive: As best you can, empower rather than disempower. We may become obsessed with our commitments and our partner during this time.\r\n\r\nWe may also experience Pluto <i>through</i> our partner or partnerships, experiencing manipulation and controlling behaviors; we must be especially wary of resisting change and holding onto lower vibrational attachments. It\'s time to let go of destructive attachments and connections. How can we grow and evolve in our partnerships? Is there a relationship that we need to grow and evolve <i>out</i> of?\r\n\r\nThis aspect could also express itself through sexual tension; there is a strong desire for love in its physical expression. However, keep your standards high, so you can come upon a love that fulfills all your needs -- definitely don\'t start a relationship with \"just anyone\", in order to avoid being alone.\r\n\r\nRemember to be true to your own values; wait for someone with whom you can have a relationship based on trust, love and a genuine desire for intimacy -- and work on being worth finding, in the meantime :-) As best as you can, stay grounded in love, not fear. Stay flexible and open-minded. As best as you can, nurture yourself; make sure you have everything you need to be able to come from a place of inner strength &amp; empowerment.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Venus being the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 11:52pm EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for 5 hours, <strong>until Saturday, March 24th at 4:53am EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday evening ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon sextiles Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 24th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><b><i> Gemini </i></b><strong>and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> until 4:53am EDT </strong>(see Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 4:53am EDT,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <b>until <strong>Monday morning</strong>.</b> With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Saturday late morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 11:35am <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">EDT</span></strong>, <em>the first Quarter Moon in almost 4 degrees of <strong>Cancer</strong> becomes exact.</em> <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered <em>Cancer</em> </strong>(earlier today).\r\n\r\nThe Moon in protective, introverted <b>Cancer </b>makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in bold, fast-paced <b>Aries</b><b>.</b>\r\n\r\nWe feel compelled to take action. Last week on March 17th, the New Moon in Pisces was exact: \"Seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making their first real contact with the outside world. As such, this a time to stretch and grow, and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day interactions with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 2-6 degrees of</i><b><i> Cancer, Aries, Capricorn</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday early afternoon,</strong> <em>a challenging Sun/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:08pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday on; it will remain strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">next week,</span> Tuesday (March 27th). </strong>This invites us to stretch ourselves and grow beyond what we know ourselves to be.\r\n\r\nWe might feel driven by a restless desire to \"<i>do something\"</i>, but we must stay grounded in reality, or our impulsive actions could involve us in needless arguments, or leave us spinning our wheels (it would feel more like they were spinning in mid-air!)\r\n\r\nOur reactions might be defensive or competitive. We might not be willing to compromise or negotiate. However, energy output can run high if we choose to focus. As best as you can, take care of your body and pay attention to its needs.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-7 degrees of <b>Aries, Capricorn, </b></i><b><i>Cancer, </i></b><i>or <b>Libra</b></i><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Mars is the ruler of Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 25th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><strong> all day </strong>(see Saturday early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early morning,</strong> <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:08am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Saturday on; it will remain strong until Sunday night. </strong>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed in order to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\nThis aspect is a fork in the road: We could take a path that leads toward following our personal goals and inspiring others by being direct and enthusiastic. We could also take the path that will lead to us increasing our understanding of intimacy and shared our resources with others. Either way, we can develop a new perspective on how to approach these things. Awareness is key with this aspect: What is needed? How can we serve the broader view?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 21-24 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>?

You may also want to plan Monday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 9:07pm EDT,</strong> <i>the Moon moves</i><b> </b><i>into steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Thursday very early morning</strong><b>.</b> We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.\r\n\r\nIn other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Monday</strong>, <i>the </i><i>Mercury station intensifies,</i><b> </b>as Mercury is preparing to come to halt this Thursday (March 22nd) at <em>almost 17 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> -- beginning its 3.5-week retrograde phase (more on that later this week). During the station phase, <b>until March 29th,</b> we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments once Mercury is moving direct again (to be more precise, during the shadow phase that follows).\r\n\r\n<strong>For the next 10 days</strong>, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: <strong>wait until after May 3rd</strong>, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 9-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 20th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful</i><strong><i> Taurus </i><b>all day</b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday very early morning,</strong> <em>a Mercury/Venus alignment in 17 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> becomes exact at 12:03am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Friday evening (March 16th) on; it will remain strong until next week, Thursday morning (March 29th). </strong>This is an excellent time to share about bravery, acts of heroism, physical activities, sports, new adventures or endeavors, ourselves, our personal goals -- or anything we feel passionate about -- and also about any teaching endeavors connected to those areas.\r\n\r\nThis alignment supports communicating from a passionate heart -- and in fact, it becomes essential to connect to people with whom we feel a strong affinity. We wish to form those connections in a spirit of harmony, directness, and equality. In fact, we tend generally to have a strong sense of fairness at this time -- and want to be around people who share this passion.\r\n\r\nWe also thoroughly enjoy the written and spoken word -- literature, wordplay, puns, moving conversations -- especially when these words speak of something new (or courageous).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 14-20 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly; the same is true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Virgo, Gemini, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus  </i></b><i>(Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 12:15pm EDT, </strong><i>the Sun changes signs from dreamy </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> to fast-paced, enthusiastic </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>,</i><i> </i>where it will journey<i> </i><b>until April 19th. </b>This is also the <i>Spring (</i>or<i> </i><i>Vernal)</i><i> Equinox.</i>\r\n\r\nThis signifies the beginning of Spring in the Northern hemisphere of this planet, the energetic turning point from one season to the next. Equinoxes are super-potent times for setting intentions. They are energetic gateways, where we experience the inter-relationship between light and dark, inner and outer, spirit and matter.\r\n\r\nWith the Sun entering <b>Aries</b> <b>for the next four weeks</b>, we tend to act first and think later. We are more aware of our personal goals and we feel a strong urge to move forward, get things done, move closer to our goals. We are quite aware of our own gut instincts and where we are heading. It\'s a great time both for leading others and for carving out our own path.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, you will feel energized and physically strong at this time.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 21st)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful</i><strong><i> Taurus </i><b>all day</b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 1:21pm EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 12 hours, <strong>until Thursday, March 22nd at 1:30am EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to balance your desire for comfort and security with your desire for deeper emotional connections with yourself and others.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday night/</strong>Thursday very early morning, <strong>at 1:30am EDT,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <strong>until Saturday early morning</strong><b>.</b> For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way…\r\n\r\nThe one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 22nd):</strong> <i>the Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><b><i> Gemini </i>all day</b><strong> </strong>(see Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early morning,</strong> <strong>after 4:22am EDT</strong>,<i> </i>it\'s <i>time to actions on our New Moon intentions</i>: if you set Intentions Saturday, Sunday of last week, or this week Monday morning -- after the New Moon became exact -- today will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Thursday at 8:19pm EDT, </strong><i>Mercury comes to a still stand in almost 17º of <strong>Aries</strong></i><b><i> </i></b>(<i>starting its 3.5-week retrograde phase)</i><i>,</i> slowing things down tremendously from Wednesday until Friday. Give yourself extra time to go to work this morning or to get things done. If you are traveling today, just simply go with the flow… you\'ll get there... eventually ;-) The same is true when it comes to all our technological devices…\r\n\r\nThis retrograde phase will last <b>until April 15th. </b>People worry about Mercury retrogrades, but it’s important not to stop one\'s life during these times. As mentioned above, certain things may take longer -- but a retrograde gives us a chance to resolve things that have been keeping us from living our lives in a more passionate way -- especially things that came up within the past three weeks.\r\n\r\nTake time to investigate your own thought processes... ask yourself: What\'s too busy in my life? What if I got really clear about that?\r\n\r\n<b>For the next three and a half weeks</b>, we\'ll get a chance to explore our personal goals -- to connect from within to what we feel passionate about. It\'s also an opening to readdress communications, learning experiences, and mental conditioning.\r\n\r\nThis is an internal process -- a chance to honor and reorganize our thoughts, working from the inside to the outside -- rethinking, retooling and releasing what no longer works.\r\n\r\nWe also get a chance to explore what we desire for ourselves, connecting from within to whatever needs a more direct and assertive approach or some kind of revision -- we may even get to reorganize our life, and explore new avenues that are better aligned with our personal goals (if we do the inner work of exploring what work for us and what doesn\'t).\r\n\r\nAs always: with <i>Mercury retrograde</i>, always read the small print -- and re-read a contract before signing (if you have to sign something) -- or ask another person for a second opinion... Basically, during these periods, it\'s best to be aware of any details that we might have overlooked... <i>and</i> check in with our intuition... <i>and</i> stay open to the possibility of renegotiation or adjustments, down the line!\r\n\r\nIn general, Mercury Retrograde is a great time for reevaluating and reorganizing. This is especially true for our thought patterns and decisions (particularly those made in the 3 weeks prior to the start of the retrograde) -- but it\'s true of our lives in general: we can reach a clearer understanding as to what works, and what doesn’t, and what needs to change.\r\n\r\nReconnecting with old friends, clients and family members (especially siblings) is also favored at this time …\r\n\r\nMercury also represents our day-to-day mind; this too is experienced more internally at this time. When it comes to communication, make sure that what you say, write and hear is the same as the intended meaning -- and use the spell-checker ;-)\r\n\r\nAnother thing to take into consideration: how does each Mercury retrograde phase affect your personal birth chart. Do you have any personal planets that Mercury will align with during its retrograde journey? The houses of your chart each represent different areas of your life -- which of the houses in your chart is affected by this retrograde?\r\n\r\n<i>If you have </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as your Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant), or personal planets (or angles) that are in 3-15 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Cancer, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>,</i><b><i> </i></b><i>you can expect to feel the effect of the Mercury retrograde phase more strongly.</i><b><i> </i></b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (March 23rd)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><b><i> Gemini </i>all day</b><strong> </strong>(see Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday evening,</strong> <em>a challenging Venus/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 7:17pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday morning on; it will remain strong until next week, Monday morning (March 26th). </strong>The Universe is asking us to stretch and grow.\r\n\r\nVenus represents our relationships and that which we most value; these areas may undergo major transformations. This aspect challenges us to find meaning in our life through partnerships. We must now uncover the deeper layer of our life. With Pluto in the mix, social interactions could be intense.\r\n\r\nYou may see changes in financial status or relationships. In the latter, things erupt that have been brewing beneath the surface for some time; this may prove disruptive: As best you can, empower rather than disempower. We may become obsessed with our commitments and our partner during this time.\r\n\r\nWe may also experience Pluto <i>through</i> our partner or partnerships, experiencing manipulation and controlling behaviors; we must be especially wary of resisting change and holding onto lower vibrational attachments. It\'s time to let go of destructive attachments and connections. How can we grow and evolve in our partnerships? Is there a relationship that we need to grow and evolve <i>out</i> of?\r\n\r\nThis aspect could also express itself through sexual tension; there is a strong desire for love in its physical expression. However, keep your standards high, so you can come upon a love that fulfills all your needs -- definitely don\'t start a relationship with \"just anyone\", in order to avoid being alone.\r\n\r\nRemember to be true to your own values; wait for someone with whom you can have a relationship based on trust, love and a genuine desire for intimacy -- and work on being worth finding, in the meantime :-) As best as you can, stay grounded in love, not fear. Stay flexible and open-minded. As best as you can, nurture yourself; make sure you have everything you need to be able to come from a place of inner strength &amp; empowerment.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Venus being the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 11:52pm EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for 5 hours, <strong>until Saturday, March 24th at 4:53am EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 24th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><b><i> Gemini </i></b><strong>and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> until 4:53am EDT </strong>(see Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 4:53am EDT,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <b>until <strong>Monday morning</strong>.</b> With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Saturday late morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 11:35am EDT</strong>, <em>the first Quarter Moon in almost 4 degrees of <strong>Cancer</strong> becomes exact.</em> <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered <em>Cancer</em> </strong>(earlier today).\r\n\r\nThe Moon in protective, introverted <b>Cancer </b>makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in bold, fast-paced <b>Aries</b><b>.</b>\r\n\r\nWe feel compelled to take action. Last week on March 17th, the New Moon in Pisces was exact: \"Seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making their first real contact with the outside world. As such, this a time to stretch and grow, and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day interactions with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 2-6 degrees of</i><b><i> Cancer, Aries, Capricorn</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday early afternoon,</strong> <em>a challenging Sun/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:08pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday on; it will remain strong until next week, Tuesday (March 27th). </strong>This invites us to stretch ourselves and grow beyond what we know ourselves to be.\r\n\r\nWe might feel driven by a restless desire to \"<i>do something\"</i>, but we must stay grounded in reality, or our impulsive actions could involve us in needless arguments, or leave us spinning our wheels (it would feel more like they were spinning in mid-air!)\r\n\r\nOur reactions might be defensive or competitive. We might not be willing to compromise or negotiate. However, energy output can run high if we choose to focus. As best as you can, take care of your body and pay attention to its needs.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-7 degrees of <b>Aries, Capricorn, </b></i><b><i>Cancer, </i></b><i>or <b>Libra</b></i><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Mars is the ruler of Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 25th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><strong> all day </strong>(see Saturday early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early morning,</strong> <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:08am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Saturday on; it will remain strong until Sunday night. </strong>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed in order to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\nThis aspect is a fork in the road: We could take a path that leads toward following our personal goals and inspiring others by being direct and enthusiastic. We could also take the path that will lead to us increasing our understanding of intimacy and shared our resources with others. Either way, we can develop a new perspective on how to approach these things. Awareness is key with this aspect: What is needed? How can we serve the broader view?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 21-24 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>?

You may also want to plan Monday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 9:07pm EDT,</strong> <i>the Moon moves</i><b> </b><i>into steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Thursday very early morning</strong><b>.</b> We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.\r\n\r\nIn other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Monday</strong>, <i>the </i><i>Mercury station intensifies,</i><b> </b>as Mercury is preparing to come to halt this Thursday (March 22nd) at <em>almost 17 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> -- beginning its 3.5-week retrograde phase (more on that later this week). During the station phase, <b>until March 29th,</b> we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments once Mercury is moving direct again (to be more precise, during the shadow phase that follows).\r\n\r\n<strong>For the next 10 days</strong>, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: <strong>wait until after May 3rd</strong>, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 9-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 20th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful</i><strong><i> Taurus </i><b>all day</b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday very early morning,</strong> <em>a Mercury/Venus alignment in 17 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> becomes exact at 12:03am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Friday evening (March 16th) on; it will remain strong until next week, Thursday morning (March 29th). </strong>This is an excellent time to share about bravery, acts of heroism, physical activities, sports, new adventures or endeavors, ourselves, our personal goals -- or anything we feel passionate about -- and also about any teaching endeavors connected to those areas.\r\n\r\nThis alignment supports communicating from a passionate heart -- and in fact, it becomes essential to connect to people with whom we feel a strong affinity. We wish to form those connections in a spirit of harmony, directness, and equality. In fact, we tend generally to have a strong sense of fairness at this time -- and want to be around people who share this passion.\r\n\r\nWe also thoroughly enjoy the written and spoken word -- literature, wordplay, puns, moving conversations -- especially when these words speak of something new (or courageous).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 14-20 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly; the same is true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Virgo, Gemini, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus  </i></b><i>(Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 12:15pm EDT, </strong><i>the Sun changes signs from dreamy </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> to fast-paced, enthusiastic </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>,</i><i> </i>where it will journey<i> </i><b>until April 19th. </b>This is also the <i>Spring (</i>or<i> </i><i>Vernal)</i><i> Equinox.</i>\r\n\r\nThis signifies the beginning of Spring in the Northern hemisphere of this planet, the energetic turning point from one season to the next. Equinoxes are super-potent times for setting intentions. They are energetic gateways, where we experience the inter-relationship between light and dark, inner and outer, spirit and matter.\r\n\r\nWith the Sun entering <b>Aries</b> <b>for the next four weeks</b>, we tend to act first and think later. We are more aware of our personal goals and we feel a strong urge to move forward, get things done, move closer to our goals. We are quite aware of our own gut instincts and where we are heading. It\'s a great time both for leading others and for carving out our own path.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, you will feel energized and physically strong at this time.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 21st)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful</i><strong><i> Taurus </i><b>all day</b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 1:21pm EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 12 hours, <strong>until Thursday, March 22nd at 1:30am EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to balance your desire for comfort and security with your desire for deeper emotional connections with yourself and others.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday night/</strong>Thursday very early morning, <strong>at 1:30am EDT,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <strong>until Saturday early morning</strong><b>.</b> For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way…\r\n\r\nThe one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 22nd):</strong> <i>the Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><b><i> Gemini </i>all day</b><strong> </strong>(see Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early morning,</strong> <strong>after 4:22am EDT</strong>,<i> </i>it\'s <i>time to actions on our New Moon intentions</i>: if you set Intentions Saturday, Sunday of last week, or this week Monday morning -- after the New Moon became exact -- today will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Thursday at 8:19pm EDT, </strong><i>Mercury comes to a still stand in almost 17º of <strong>Aries</strong></i><b><i> </i></b>(<i>starting its 3.5-week retrograde phase)</i><i>,</i> slowing things down tremendously from Wednesday until Friday. Give yourself extra time to go to work this morning or to get things done. If you are traveling today, just simply go with the flow… you\'ll get there... eventually ;-) The same is true when it comes to all our technological devices…\r\n\r\nThis retrograde phase will last <b>until April 15th. </b>People worry about Mercury retrogrades, but it’s important not to stop one\'s life during these times. As mentioned above, certain things may take longer -- but a retrograde gives us a chance to resolve things that have been keeping us from living our lives in a more passionate way -- especially things that came up within the past three weeks.\r\n\r\nTake time to investigate your own thought processes... ask yourself: What\'s too busy in my life? What if I got really clear about that?\r\n\r\n<b>For the next three and a half weeks</b>, we\'ll get a chance to explore our personal goals -- to connect from within to what we feel passionate about. It\'s also an opening to readdress communications, learning experiences, and mental conditioning.\r\n\r\nThis is an internal process -- a chance to honor and reorganize our thoughts, working from the inside to the outside -- rethinking, retooling and releasing what no longer works.\r\n\r\nWe also get a chance to explore what we desire for ourselves, connecting from within to whatever needs a more direct and assertive approach or some kind of revision -- we may even get to reorganize our life, and explore new avenues that are better aligned with our personal goals (if we do the inner work of exploring what work for us and what doesn\'t).\r\n\r\nAs always: with <i>Mercury retrograde</i>, always read the small print -- and re-read a contract before signing (if you have to sign something) -- or ask another person for a second opinion... Basically, during these periods, it\'s best to be aware of any details that we might have overlooked... <i>and</i> check in with our intuition... <i>and</i> stay open to the possibility of renegotiation or adjustments, down the line!\r\n\r\nIn general, Mercury Retrograde is a great time for reevaluating and reorganizing. This is especially true for our thought patterns and decisions (particularly those made in the 3 weeks prior to the start of the retrograde) -- but it\'s true of our lives in general: we can reach a clearer understanding as to what works, and what doesn’t, and what needs to change.\r\n\r\nReconnecting with old friends, clients and family members (especially siblings) is also favored at this time …\r\n\r\nMercury also represents our day-to-day mind; this too is experienced more internally at this time. When it comes to communication, make sure that what you say, write and hear is the same as the intended meaning -- and use the spell-checker ;-)\r\n\r\nAnother thing to take into consideration: how does each Mercury retrograde phase affect your personal birth chart. Do you have any personal planets that Mercury will align with during its retrograde journey? The houses of your chart each represent different areas of your life -- which of the houses in your chart is affected by this retrograde?\r\n\r\n<i>If you have </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as your Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant), or personal planets (or angles) that are in 3-15 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Cancer, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>,</i><b><i> </i></b><i>you can expect to feel the effect of the Mercury retrograde phase more strongly.</i><b><i> </i></b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (March 23rd)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><b><i> Gemini </i>all day</b><strong> </strong>(see Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday evening,</strong> <em>a challenging Venus/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 7:17pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday morning on; it will remain strong until next week, Monday morning (March 26th). </strong>The Universe is asking us to stretch and grow.\r\n\r\nVenus represents our relationships and that which we most value; these areas may undergo major transformations. This aspect challenges us to find meaning in our life through partnerships. We must now uncover the deeper layer of our life. With Pluto in the mix, social interactions could be intense.\r\n\r\nYou may see changes in financial status or relationships. In the latter, things erupt that have been brewing beneath the surface for some time; this may prove disruptive: As best you can, empower rather than disempower. We may become obsessed with our commitments and our partner during this time.\r\n\r\nWe may also experience Pluto <i>through</i> our partner or partnerships, experiencing manipulation and controlling behaviors; we must be especially wary of resisting change and holding onto lower vibrational attachments. It\'s time to let go of destructive attachments and connections. How can we grow and evolve in our partnerships? Is there a relationship that we need to grow and evolve <i>out</i> of?\r\n\r\nThis aspect could also express itself through sexual tension; there is a strong desire for love in its physical expression. However, keep your standards high, so you can come upon a love that fulfills all your needs -- definitely don\'t start a relationship with \"just anyone\", in order to avoid being alone.\r\n\r\nRemember to be true to your own values; wait for someone with whom you can have a relationship based on trust, love and a genuine desire for intimacy -- and work on being worth finding, in the meantime :-) As best as you can, stay grounded in love, not fear. Stay flexible and open-minded. As best as you can, nurture yourself; make sure you have everything you need to be able to come from a place of inner strength &amp; empowerment.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Venus being the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 11:52pm EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for 5 hours, <strong>until Saturday, March 24th at 4:53am EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

Last week on March 17th, the New Moon in Pisces was exact: \"Seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making their first real contact with the outside world. As such, this a time to stretch and grow, and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day interactions with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 2-6 degrees of</i><b><i> Cancer, Aries, Capricorn</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday early afternoon,</strong> <em>a challenging Sun/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:08pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday on; it will remain strong until next week, Tuesday (March 27th). </strong>This invites us to stretch ourselves and grow beyond what we know ourselves to be.\r\n\r\nWe might feel driven by a restless desire to \"<i>do something\"</i>, but we must stay grounded in reality, or our impulsive actions could involve us in needless arguments, or leave us spinning our wheels (it would feel more like they were spinning in mid-air!)\r\n\r\nOur reactions might be defensive or competitive. We might not be willing to compromise or negotiate. However, energy output can run high if we choose to focus. As best as you can, take care of your body and pay attention to its needs.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-7 degrees of <b>Aries, Capricorn, </b></i><b><i>Cancer, </i></b><i>or <b>Libra</b></i><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Mars is the ruler of Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 25th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><strong> all day </strong>(see Saturday early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early morning,</strong> <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:08am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Saturday on; it will remain strong until Sunday night. </strong>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed in order to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\nThis aspect is a fork in the road: We could take a path that leads toward following our personal goals and inspiring others by being direct and enthusiastic. We could also take the path that will lead to us increasing our understanding of intimacy and shared our resources with others. Either way, we can develop a new perspective on how to approach these things. Awareness is key with this aspect: What is needed? How can we serve the broader view?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 21-24 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>A heads-up for next Monday (March 26th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains protective, nurturing</i><em> <strong>Cancer</strong></em><strong> until 7:45am EDT </strong>(see Saturday early morning for details). <strong>At 2:58am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for almost 5 hours, <strong>until 7:45am EDT</strong>. <b>At that time</b>, <em>the Moon moves into </em><i>fun and attention-loving </i><em><strong>Leo,</strong></em> where it will journey<strong> until Wednesday late morning</strong>.

You may also want to plan Monday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 9:07pm EDT,</strong> <i>the Moon moves</i><b> </b><i>into steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Thursday very early morning</strong><b>.</b> We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.\r\n\r\nIn other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Monday</strong>, <i>the </i><i>Mercury station intensifies,</i><b> </b>as Mercury is preparing to come to halt this Thursday (March 22nd) at <em>almost 17 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> -- beginning its 3.5-week retrograde phase (more on that later this week). During the station phase, <b>until March 29th,</b> we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments once Mercury is moving direct again (to be more precise, during the shadow phase that follows).\r\n\r\n<strong>For the next 10 days</strong>, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: <strong>wait until after May 3rd</strong>, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 9-11 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 20th): </strong><i>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful</i><strong><i> Taurus </i><b>all day</b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday very early morning,</strong> <em>a Mercury/Venus alignment in 17 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> becomes exact at 12:03am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Friday evening (March 16th) on; it will remain strong until next week, Thursday morning (March 29th). </strong>This is an excellent time to share about bravery, acts of heroism, physical activities, sports, new adventures or endeavors, ourselves, our personal goals -- or anything we feel passionate about -- and also about any teaching endeavors connected to those areas.\r\n\r\nThis alignment supports communicating from a passionate heart -- and in fact, it becomes essential to connect to people with whom we feel a strong affinity. We wish to form those connections in a spirit of harmony, directness, and equality. In fact, we tend generally to have a strong sense of fairness at this time -- and want to be around people who share this passion.\r\n\r\nWe also thoroughly enjoy the written and spoken word -- literature, wordplay, puns, moving conversations -- especially when these words speak of something new (or courageous).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 14-20 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this alignment quite strongly; the same is true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Virgo, Gemini, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus  </i></b><i>(Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 12:15pm EDT, </strong><i>the Sun changes signs from dreamy </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> to fast-paced, enthusiastic </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>,</i><i> </i>where it will journey<i> </i><b>until April 19th. </b>This is also the <i>Spring (</i>or<i> </i><i>Vernal)</i><i> Equinox.</i>\r\n\r\nThis signifies the beginning of Spring in the Northern hemisphere of this planet, the energetic turning point from one season to the next. Equinoxes are super-potent times for setting intentions. They are energetic gateways, where we experience the inter-relationship between light and dark, inner and outer, spirit and matter.\r\n\r\nWith the Sun entering <b>Aries</b> <b>for the next four weeks</b>, we tend to act first and think later. We are more aware of our personal goals and we feel a strong urge to move forward, get things done, move closer to our goals. We are quite aware of our own gut instincts and where we are heading. It\'s a great time both for leading others and for carving out our own path.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, you will feel energized and physically strong at this time.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 21st)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful</i><strong><i> Taurus </i><b>all day</b></strong><strong> </strong>(see Monday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 1:21pm EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for a little over 12 hours, <strong>until Thursday, March 22nd at 1:30am EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to balance your desire for comfort and security with your desire for deeper emotional connections with yourself and others.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday night/</strong>Thursday very early morning, <strong>at 1:30am EDT,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <strong>until Saturday early morning</strong><b>.</b> For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way…\r\n\r\nThe one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (March 22nd):</strong> <i>the Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><b><i> Gemini </i>all day</b><strong> </strong>(see Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early morning,</strong> <strong>after 4:22am EDT</strong>,<i> </i>it\'s <i>time to actions on our New Moon intentions</i>: if you set Intentions Saturday, Sunday of last week, or this week Monday morning -- after the New Moon became exact -- today will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Thursday at 8:19pm EDT, </strong><i>Mercury comes to a still stand in almost 17º of <strong>Aries</strong></i><b><i> </i></b>(<i>starting its 3.5-week retrograde phase)</i><i>,</i> slowing things down tremendously from Wednesday until Friday. Give yourself extra time to go to work this morning or to get things done. If you are traveling today, just simply go with the flow… you\'ll get there... eventually ;-) The same is true when it comes to all our technological devices…\r\n\r\nThis retrograde phase will last <b>until April 15th. </b>People worry about Mercury retrogrades, but it’s important not to stop one\'s life during these times. As mentioned above, certain things may take longer -- but a retrograde gives us a chance to resolve things that have been keeping us from living our lives in a more passionate way -- especially things that came up within the past three weeks.\r\n\r\nTake time to investigate your own thought processes... ask yourself: What\'s too busy in my life? What if I got really clear about that?\r\n\r\n<b>For the next three and a half weeks</b>, we\'ll get a chance to explore our personal goals -- to connect from within to what we feel passionate about. It\'s also an opening to readdress communications, learning experiences, and mental conditioning.\r\n\r\nThis is an internal process -- a chance to honor and reorganize our thoughts, working from the inside to the outside -- rethinking, retooling and releasing what no longer works.\r\n\r\nWe also get a chance to explore what we desire for ourselves, connecting from within to whatever needs a more direct and assertive approach or some kind of revision -- we may even get to reorganize our life, and explore new avenues that are better aligned with our personal goals (if we do the inner work of exploring what work for us and what doesn\'t).\r\n\r\nAs always: with <i>Mercury retrograde</i>, always read the small print -- and re-read a contract before signing (if you have to sign something) -- or ask another person for a second opinion... Basically, during these periods, it\'s best to be aware of any details that we might have overlooked... <i>and</i> check in with our intuition... <i>and</i> stay open to the possibility of renegotiation or adjustments, down the line!\r\n\r\nIn general, Mercury Retrograde is a great time for reevaluating and reorganizing. This is especially true for our thought patterns and decisions (particularly those made in the 3 weeks prior to the start of the retrograde) -- but it\'s true of our lives in general: we can reach a clearer understanding as to what works, and what doesn’t, and what needs to change.\r\n\r\nReconnecting with old friends, clients and family members (especially siblings) is also favored at this time …\r\n\r\nMercury also represents our day-to-day mind; this too is experienced more internally at this time. When it comes to communication, make sure that what you say, write and hear is the same as the intended meaning -- and use the spell-checker ;-)\r\n\r\nAnother thing to take into consideration: how does each Mercury retrograde phase affect your personal birth chart. Do you have any personal planets that Mercury will align with during its retrograde journey? The houses of your chart each represent different areas of your life -- which of the houses in your chart is affected by this retrograde?\r\n\r\n<i>If you have </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as your Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant), or personal planets (or angles) that are in 3-15 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra</i></b><i>, </i><b><i>Cancer, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>,</i><b><i> </i></b><i>you can expect to feel the effect of the Mercury retrograde phase more strongly.</i><b><i> </i></b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (March 23rd)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><b><i> Gemini </i>all day</b><strong> </strong>(see Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday evening,</strong> <em>a challenging Venus/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 7:17pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday morning on; it will remain strong until next week, Monday morning (March 26th). </strong>The Universe is asking us to stretch and grow.\r\n\r\nVenus represents our relationships and that which we most value; these areas may undergo major transformations. This aspect challenges us to find meaning in our life through partnerships. We must now uncover the deeper layer of our life. With Pluto in the mix, social interactions could be intense.\r\n\r\nYou may see changes in financial status or relationships. In the latter, things erupt that have been brewing beneath the surface for some time; this may prove disruptive: As best you can, empower rather than disempower. We may become obsessed with our commitments and our partner during this time.\r\n\r\nWe may also experience Pluto <i>through</i> our partner or partnerships, experiencing manipulation and controlling behaviors; we must be especially wary of resisting change and holding onto lower vibrational attachments. It\'s time to let go of destructive attachments and connections. How can we grow and evolve in our partnerships? Is there a relationship that we need to grow and evolve <i>out</i> of?\r\n\r\nThis aspect could also express itself through sexual tension; there is a strong desire for love in its physical expression. However, keep your standards high, so you can come upon a love that fulfills all your needs -- definitely don\'t start a relationship with \"just anyone\", in order to avoid being alone.\r\n\r\nRemember to be true to your own values; wait for someone with whom you can have a relationship based on trust, love and a genuine desire for intimacy -- and work on being worth finding, in the meantime :-) As best as you can, stay grounded in love, not fear. Stay flexible and open-minded. As best as you can, nurture yourself; make sure you have everything you need to be able to come from a place of inner strength &amp; empowerment.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Venus being the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 11:52pm EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for 5 hours, <strong>until Saturday, March 24th at 4:53am EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 24th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in chatty, versatile</i><b><i> Gemini </i></b><strong>and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> until 4:53am EDT </strong>(see Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 4:53am EDT,</strong> <i>the Moon moves into protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <b>until <strong>Monday morning</strong>.</b> With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Saturday late morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 11:35am EDT</strong>, <em>the first Quarter Moon in almost 4 degrees of <strong>Cancer</strong> becomes exact.</em> <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered <em>Cancer</em> </strong>(earlier today).\r\n\r\nThe Moon in protective, introverted <b>Cancer </b>makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in bold, fast-paced <b>Aries</b><b>.</b>\r\n\r\nWe feel compelled to take action. Last week on March 17th, the New Moon in Pisces was exact: \"Seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making their first real contact with the outside world. As such, this a time to stretch and grow, and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day interactions with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 2-6 degrees of</i><b><i> Cancer, Aries, Capricorn</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday early afternoon,</strong> <em>a challenging Sun/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:08pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday on; it will remain strong until next week, Tuesday (March 27th). </strong>This invites us to stretch ourselves and grow beyond what we know ourselves to be.\r\n\r\nWe might feel driven by a restless desire to \"<i>do something\"</i>, but we must stay grounded in reality, or our impulsive actions could involve us in needless arguments, or leave us spinning our wheels (it would feel more like they were spinning in mid-air!)\r\n\r\nOur reactions might be defensive or competitive. We might not be willing to compromise or negotiate. However, energy output can run high if we choose to focus. As best as you can, take care of your body and pay attention to its needs.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-7 degrees of <b>Aries, Capricorn, </b></i><b><i>Cancer, </i></b><i>or <b>Libra</b></i><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Mars is the ruler of Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (March 25th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><strong> all day </strong>(see Saturday early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early morning,</strong> <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:08am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Saturday on; it will remain strong until Sunday night. </strong>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed in order to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\nThis aspect is a fork in the road: We could take a path that leads toward following our personal goals and inspiring others by being direct and enthusiastic. We could also take the path that will lead to us increasing our understanding of intimacy and shared our resources with others. Either way, we can develop a new perspective on how to approach these things. Awareness is key with this aspect: What is needed? How can we serve the broader view?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 21-24 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>A heads-up for next Monday (March 26th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains protective, nurturing</i><em> <strong>Cancer</strong></em><strong> until 7:45am EDT </strong>(see Saturday early morning for details). <strong>At 2:58am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a> that lasts for almost 5 hours, <strong>until 7:45am EDT</strong>. <b>At that time</b>, <em>the Moon moves into </em><i>fun and attention-loving </i><em><strong>Leo,</strong></em> where it will journey<strong> until Wednesday late morning</strong>.

Thanks so much for all the amazing Birthday wishes ;-) Uranus in Taurus in my 7th House feels pretty good so far! :-)\n\n<strong>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement:</strong>\nThere is still time to take advantage of the <strong>Special Offer</strong> for the month of May: Uranus moved into Taurus last week. We went over this transit in more detail in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how <strong>Uranus\'s journey through Taurus until 2026</strong> impacts you personally, feel free to get the 120 min. long webinar on the subject; <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product-category/webinars/\">for more info or to purchase, click here</a> The fee for this is <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product-category/webinars/\">only $37</a>, even though the webinar is 30 minutes longer than my usual webinars -- partly because we also cover <strong>Chiron\'s journey through Aries until 2027</strong>. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/chiron-in-aries-uranus-in-taurus-until-2026-15-minute-excerpt/\">You can also check out a brief excerpt of this webinar, here</a> Enjoy ;-)\n\n<strong>Here is the Special Offer for this month:</strong> <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\">sign up for Star or SuperStar Membership</a> <strong>by May 31st </strong>(or upgrade from Universal to Star Membership via \"My Account\"), and get the above mentioned 2-hr. webinar for FREE! If you are <em>already a Star</em> or <em>SuperStar Member</em> check your email for the link to this webinar -- it was emailed to you on April 30th ;-)\n\n<strong>This week\'s headline items:</strong> the first Quarter Moon in Virgo becomes exact on Monday late evening; and a long-lasting Jupiter/Neptune Trine becomes exact on Friday early morning. There will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: Monday all day until 10:03pm EDT; Wednesday late morning (for 16 hours) and Friday afternoon (for 16.5 hours).\n\n<strong>Monday (May 21st)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 10:03pm EDT. </strong>With the Moon in <strong>Leo</strong>, we may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)\n\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are also a big part of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.\n\nIf there are no children around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the rest of today. Ask yourself: What am I most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, I could  let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\n\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a><strong> until 10:03pm EDT</strong>: we are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we feel a strong need to have fun and be creative or self-expressed.\n\nOn the other hand, we want to explore deep, authentic -- even intimate -- connections to ourselves or others. Do your best to use this intuitive time to make adjustments, slow things down a little, and find creative solutions that honor both drives.\n\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday late evening and Monday all day ahead of time.\n\n<strong>Monday at 10:03pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning</strong>; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\n\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact later this evening).\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong> ALREADY A MEMBER?

Last week saw the New Moon, on May 15th. \"Seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\n\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day dealings with others.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 29 degrees of <strong>Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio</strong>, or 0-3 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\n\n<strong>Tuesday (May 22nd)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday late evening for details).\n\n<strong>Tuesday afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:48pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last Saturday (May 19th) on, it will remain strong until Thursday night. </strong>This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body.\n\nWe all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?\n\n<strong>Until Thursday night</strong>, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity?\n\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 29 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn,</strong> <strong>Cancer,</strong> or 0-4 degrees of <strong>Gemini, Aries, Aquarius </strong>or<strong> Leo</strong>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Pisces (the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</em>\n\n<strong>Tuesday late evening</strong>, <em>an opportune Mercury/Neptune aspect</em> becoming exact at 10:13pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Monday night on, it will remain strong until Thursday morning. </strong>This aspect gives us the opportunity to bring compassion and an intuitive approach to our thinking process.\n\nHaving faith and connecting to our Higher Selves will be of service to us at this time. Any artistic or spiritual endeavors are likely to do well at this time. Music might help us with our thinking process and ability to get things done.\n\nLet yourself be inspired! A book, a song, a movie, someone else\'s words… allow the Universe to speak to you. Open your mind to a higher vibration -- and remember, opportunities are openings... they aren\'t necessarily handed to us... we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <em>14-18 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces)</i>\n\n<strong>Wednesday (May 23rd)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday late evening for details).\n\nTuesday night/<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Jupiter opposition</em> becomes exact at 1:54am EDT. <strong>We feel this aspect build from Monday; it will remain strong until Thursday evening.</strong>\n\nIt asks us to balance our personal values and resources against our authentic, emotional connections with others (and any resources we share with them). This could also show up as a need to balance what we <em>think</em> we need to own or have, with our desire for expansion within intimate relationships and shared resources.\n\nOf course, we could conceivably have it both ways -- here are some questions you can ask yourself, that might help with this: How might taking a different view of my intimate relationships impact my self-worth? Could I share from a place of self-love and self-honoring,  just 5% more than normal? If I stepped way back from the canvas, what \"bigger picture\" would I see?\n\nWe generally feel quite optimistic at this time, perhaps overly so: The urge to grow and expand is strong, but we can overreach -- perhaps by overlooking critical details and thereby miscalculating. We might be inclined to exaggerate, then have a hard time putting our ideas and goals into practice. That said, we can also be extraordinarily funny and interesting at this time, especially in our one-on-one relationships :-)\n\nExpect a lot of talking and sharing -- and possibly some over-thinking or impulsive communication. Impatience is likely a side-effect of this aspect as well... As best as you can, take an \"observer\" position toward your mind: listen to your thoughts, catch yourself thinking.\n\nIn other words: as best as you can, practice listening, to yourself, to others, and to your body. Listening is an art form that makes it easier to tap into our own inner wisdom and our body\'s wisdom.\n\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 13-20 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </strong>or<strong> Aquarius</strong>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in <strong>Gemini, Virgo</strong> or <strong>Sagittarius</strong> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter of Sagittarius).</em>\n\n<strong>Wednesday at 10:55am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 16 hours, <strong>until 2:52am EDT Thursday very early morning</strong>. Use this intuitive time to empower each other in regards to earthly issues and mutually support each other in practical ways.\n\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday all day until Thursday very early morning ahead of time.\n\n<strong>Wednesday late evening</strong>, <em>a harmonious Sun/Mars aspect</em> become exact at 10:39pm EDT; <strong>we started feeling this aspect on Friday (May 18th), it has been building since then and will remain strong until the evening of next Monday, May 28th. </strong>\n\nThis aspect lets us know that we could create connections that bring us a sense of community and belonging, if we were simply to bring conscious awareness to our actions, and create a vision of a future that supports all of us,. It also brings a flow of intellectual stimulation that we can easily discuss and share with others.\n\nWe have powerful stores of energy right now that we can draw upon when needed. We respond to problems or challenges with a spirited and enthusiastic confidence that is admirable. We truly believe in equal opportunities and seem to be in love with life. When we express or experience competitiveness, or courage, it\'s easy to smile and accept these traits as positive, rather than being rubbed the wrong way. We generally have good mental and physical vitality during this transit.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>0-6 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Gemini, Aquarius, </i></b><i>or <b>Libra</b></i><i>? If so, you may feel more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Mars rules Aries)</i>\n\n<strong>Thursday (May 24th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em> and<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> VoC</a> <strong>until 2:52am EDT</strong> (see Monday late evening and Wednesday late morning for details).\n\n<strong>Thursday at 2:52am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until Saturday late morning. </strong>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\n\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating -- and although these next two days are a great time for mediation, our need for peace (and aversion to direct conflict) could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might prefer.\n\nWe may also be able to see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\n\n<strong>Thursday early morning</strong>: we become more aware that we need to find a balance between two very different energies -- on the one hand,  taking a compassionate approach towards our personal goals, while being assertive in the world -- and on the other hand, our need to connect and collaborate with others. Ask yourself: what if taking a compassionate approach towards myself actually made for more fulfilling connections with others?\n\n<strong>Thursday morning</strong>: starts out harmoniously, even though we feel an urge to make progress, and connect with others about our vision for the future.\n\n<strong>Thursday afternoon</strong>: we feel a need to stay within our safety zone while also connecting and collaborating -- stretch a little, and see if you can find creative ways to connect whilst honoring your need for safety and familiarity. As best as you can, listen to your feeling-body and be kind with yourself and others, if your needs do not align perfectly with others.\n\n<strong>Thursday early evening</strong>: we are invited to make some adjustments in our lives and find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations. As best as you can, look for solid foundations under any long-term goals currently underway, and for ways to create win-win outcomes for one-on-one relationships.\n\n<strong>Friday (May 25)</strong>:<em> the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday very early morning for details).\n\n<strong>Friday morning</strong>, <em>a long-lasting, harmonious Jupiter/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:52am EDT (first one of the year). Due to Jupiter\'s and Neptune\'s Station phases, <strong>we start to feel this aspect build from May 4th on, it will remain strong until July 15th. </strong>This brings the potential for deep, spiritual inspiration.\n\nExtravagance or exaggeration are possible during this time; routine is particularly unsatisfying, we easily detour from the practical path. On the other hand, this is a great time for connecting to music or spiritual endeavors -- and for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\n\nOur intuition is at an all-time high, as is our ability to explore our traumas and demons; we are also more able to resolve anything that is no longer empowering to us personally -- in particular, we can dissolve the fears that have kept us from deepening our relationships -- and this is also true on a collective level.\n\nGenerosity, compassion and faith will likely increase; we more readily and easily make personal sacrifices for what we see as the greater good. We have a deeper sense that all of us are part of the human family -- a sense of the unity that is possible between people, nations and all living things on this planet.\n\nThis can be a chance to increase our creativity, perceptiveness and empathy; it\'s a time to allow for things to unfold and for seeing the perfection in everything that is.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>13-19 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Scorpio, Pisces, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more blessed by this aspect; this is also true for those of us with the Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\n\n<strong>Friday late morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Mercury/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 9:38am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on, it will remain strong until Sunday morning. </strong>Our words and our \"speaking\" are very grounded and realistic. We can feel really empowered by what we say (and how we say it) during this time. Our conviction and passion helps us to connect and empower others.\n\nWe are strongly connected to our inner truth and can analyze and understand our motivations around long-term goals. We investigate our own thought structures in a very realistic, focused way, and look to see what needs to be communicated next.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i> <em>18-24 degrees</em><i> of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be even more blessed by this aspect than those who do not; this is also true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Scorpio</i></b> <i>(Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo, Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\n\n<strong>Friday at 5:04pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 16.5 hours,<strong> until 9:39am EDT Saturday late morning</strong>. Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments and find creative ways to work with the energies at play: On the one hand, as best as you can, collaborate with others and play nice, on the other hand, be authentic and truthful about what we want to build long-term.\n\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday late afternoon until Saturday late morning ahead of time.\n\n<strong>Saturday (May 26th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 9:39am EDT</strong> (see Thursday very early morning and Friday late afternoon for details).\n\n<strong>Saturday very early morning</strong>,<em> a Venus/Saturn opposition</em> becomes exact at 2:40am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on, it will remain strong until next Monday evening (May 28th). </strong>This might be a time of relationship tests or trials: we may not be attracting the things and people that we want in our lives -- at least, not as easily as we were before this transit.\n\nThis can be eye-opening -- a signal to work on improving the \"ways\" (as well as the \"things\") that we bring to partnerships or to our finances. Doubts could be raised now. But what\'s really required is that we slow things down and be as realistic as we can possibly be.\n\nWe could be withdrawing or holding back a little, as we attempt to figure out what we want and need -- and what we can give. We are working towards ridding ourselves of self-delusion when it comes to partnerships, socializing and finances. In the process, we might feel disdain for inauthentic interactions and resent \"going through the motions\" on a social and/or mental level.\n\nOur goal here is to make more connections aligned with our own truth. Relationships built on weak foundations may not survive, but stronger ones can be improved and strengthened. Financial matters might be stressful for the time being; this forces us into a position of conservation and moderation. As best as you can, find your inner balance with this -- and on an external level with others.\n\nThink back to <strong>late Dec., 2017</strong>, when Venus was conjunct Saturn in <strong>Capricorn</strong>. With Venus opposing Saturn now, we can start to see the fruits of the seeds that were planted back then. So: What were the seeds? What are the fruits?\n\nIn other words: What has emerged since late December, in regards to who and what you value? We are also now more aware of what we have (and haven\'t) learned since then... Do you like what you see? Is there room for more learning, more integration?\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>5-11 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)</i>\n\n<strong>Saturday at 9:39am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until next week, Monday evening</strong> (May 28th). We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\n\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\n\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s thus an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\n\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\n\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your very best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\n\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\n\n<strong>Sunday (May 27th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Saturday late morning for details).\n\nSaturday night/<strong>Sunday very early morning: </strong>for the next several hours, we enjoy familiar company and surroundings -- our home is our castle.\n\n<strong>Sunday early morning: </strong>we are invited to<strong> </strong>connect with others on a deep emotional level, and explore new points of views about our ability to make authentic connections.\n\n<strong>Sunday late afternoon: </strong>we are likely to experience a sense of ease and flow, but may need to slow down and allow our feelings to come through. A gentle approach is best. We feel good when coming from the heart and making deeper connections with others. Being open to receiving and going with the flow are key!\n\n<strong>A heads up for next Monday (May 28th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em><strong> until 6:29pm EDT</strong>. <strong>At 1:25pm EDT,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course</a>, that last for 5 hours, <strong>until 6:29pm EDT</strong>.

Yahooooo! Bring it on! :-)\r\n\r\n<b>A quick announcement before we get started:</b><b>\r\n</b> Because it is <strong>my birthday this week</strong>, I wanted to give something of value, and I thought with all the changes that are coming, a <strong>30% discount</strong> on my 50-minute Coaching/Healing sessions would be a nice gift for everyone -- especially for those of you who are already doing monthly 25-minute Coaching/Healing sessions with me via the SuperStar Membership. I\'m running this special during my birthday week only :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>To take advantage of the special offer,</strong><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/coaching/\"> click here</a> and add one or more coaching sessions -- and when you get to your shopping cart, enter coupon code: <strong>BIRTHDAY_GIFT</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>PS:</strong> If you are holding back because you can\'t do a session this week, don\'t worry -- you can schedule it anytime between now and Nov. 2018 -- and if you want to stock up at this super-low price, go ahead and use the code on multiple sessions ;-) Looking forward to connecting and supporting you! May we all have a fantastic time adjusting to the new energies that are coming our way!\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: We have several planets changing signs this week -- Uranus (from Aries to Taurus, where it will journey for about 8 years), Mars (from Capricorn to Aquarius); Venus (from Gemini to Cancer) and last but not least, the Sun (from Taurus to Gemini).\r\n\r\nIn addition, the New Moon in Taurus becomes exact on Tuesday, and there will be four <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: Tuesday late afternoon (for almost 15 minutes), Thursday afternoon (3.5 hours), Saturday late afternoon (2 hours), and Sunday late evening (22.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (May 14th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Taurus</strong></em><strong> all day. </strong>We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.\r\n\r\nIn other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing until Tuesday late afternoon? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early morning: </strong>The best way to handle the first few hours of Monday (if you\'re awake) is to slow down a little and focus on what\'s sitting right in front of you, that needs to be taken care of, so you can get to the next phase of accomplishment.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late afternoon, </strong>we have an opportunity to...\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>ALREADY A MEMBER? Log into your ​Member\'s ​account and keep reading!</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong> NOT A MEMBER yet? GET IT ALL!

If there was a way to satisfy both desires at once, what would that look like? What does the bigger picture look like?<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday </strong>is also the <i>last day before the New Moon</i> becomes exact. This is a great day to let go of what no longer serves us. As best as you can, avoid jumping the gun: Rather than launching into brand-new endeavors or connections, wait until a couple of days has passed after the New Moon. Some of us might feel a little anxious or nervous today: As best as you can, get quiet and go within… Listen to the silence between the sounds… Find peace in the connection with your innermost and truest Self.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (15th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus</strong></em> <strong>until 4:43pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 7:48am EDT</strong>, the <i>New Moon in 24.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> becomes exact. This marks the beginning of a new Moon cycle. As best as you can, get really quiet, and see if you are getting any new messages or ideas. If you are, harvest them, and fold them into any intentions you set for the new Moon cycle -- I will talk about this process later in the forecast, and I’ll even give you the very best and most potent times for doing it :-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Click here to watch my video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\n<i>This New Moon in steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> places more focus on our interactions with the physical world -- you could say that we seek a healthier relationship with “matter\", one in which we are neither too attached, or too disconnected from our bodies, resources (such as money), and the planet we co-inhabit. We are powerfully reminded to take the time to honor the only planet we can currently live on — The Earth — we are called on to honor its resources and beauty.\r\n\r\nIn much the same spirit, we are invited also to honor ourselves, our bodies, our talents. This is a good time for reevaluating our relationship to money and possessions, and for discovering what truly makes us happy and fulfilled. Check in with yourself: What came to mind when you read this?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon trines Mars and Pluto in </i><b><i>Capricorn. </i></b>This combo promotes a realistic and responsible long-term approach. We have the chance to better align our goals with our values; it\'s easier for us to sustain what we have started, and bring a heightened sense of commitment to it all.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I am completely honest, what do I truly want for myself long-term? What really matters to me? If I felt the need to connect to something in a passionate way, what might that be? What truly fulfills me? And what modest step could I take today to move towards my goals?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus, </i>the ruler of Taurus, <i>moves through </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> at the time of the New Moon. This reminds us to learn and discuss Taurean issues: resources, appreciation of physical matter, natural beauty etc.\r\n\r\nThe spiritual quest of <b>Gemini</b>, on the other hand, concerns the development of perception, our powers of thought, and communication. As the creative power of the feminine, Venus in Gemini represents <i>the \"bringing together of opposites\" -- </i>people with different values, for example.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> When I picture this, what do I see? What might this look like in my various communities? How about within my relationships? Could exploring duality help me understand different points of views? Might curiosity be a vital tool in all of this? If so, what could I get curious about? What would 5% more flexibility do for my ability to relate to others?\r\n\r\nAnother thing worth mentioning: <i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>also</i> <i>makes a</i> <i>\"mutual reception\" to Mercury in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> <b><i>--</i></b> in other words, these planets are in each other\'s signs until May 19th; during that time, they \"mutually\" support each other\'s agenda. This gives us the opportunity to connect mind and heart.\r\n\r\nWe seek out mental stimulation: teaching, learning, writing, collecting and processing information, etc.... and we want to share the output in practical ways, applying it to the real world and ourselves, our values, and our physical experience of life.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, allow yourself to take your time processing things that you just started engaging with. In the meantime, stay open to learning, remain curious, and remember that every teacher is also a student and vice versa.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What if I listened to myself 5% more? What if I had 5% more faith that I\'d be heard? What might I discover about my thinking processes and my value? Is it possible my value doesn\'t need to be \"earned\"? What if, without my being alive, nothing else could be as it is?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus, in the last degree of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, makes a square to Mars in the last degree of </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b>at the time of the New Moon (more about this square when it becomes exact on Wednesday). As some of you already know, when a planet is the last degree of a sign, its energy is more exalted, as it knows that a shift is coming -- you could say that the rumbling of its vibration gets louder.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What am I waking to? Where do I need to assert myself? How might I do that while still keeping what I want to create long-term in view? What has been holding me back? What am I ready to address and change? What needs to happen so I can move forward in a mature fashion?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus moves into </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact (more on that below) -- starting its preview through this peace-loving, sensual sign until early November of this year -- I say \"preview\", because Uranus will return to <b>Taurus</b> in March 2019, for a 7 year-transit. These next 28 days will be ripe with shifts and changes, so stay centered in the here and now, expect the unexpected and allow yourself to make an inner shift -- as this paves the way for an outer shift. Flexibility is key!\r\n\r\nWe went over this upcoming shift in more detail in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how Uranus\'s journey through Taurus until 2026 impacts you personally, feel free to get the 120 min. long webinar on the subject; <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product-category/webinars/\">for more info or to purchase, click here </a>The fee for this is only $37, even though the webinar is 30 minutes longer than my usual webinars -- partly because we also cover Chiron\'s journey through Aries until 2027.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">You can also check out a brief excerpt of this webinar, here</a> Enjoy ;-) I also offer a <strong>Special Offer this month</strong>: sign up for Star or SuperStar Membership <strong>by May 31st</strong> (or upgrade from Universal to Star Membership via \"My Account\"), and get this webinar for FREE! If you are already a Star or SuperStar Member check your email for the link to this webinar -- it was emailed to you on April 30th ;-)\r\n\r\nThink back over the last 7 years (i.e. March 2011 - May 2018), while Uranus was in <b>Aries</b>, and <b>ask yourself: </b>Where did I make progress on my goals and desires? What structures needed to be renewed for me to break through and find a new or unique approach to who I\'m being? Do some of those structures actually need to break down? What self-realizations make me stand out and go after things in a more original way? How did this 7-year transit through Aries support my vision?\r\n\r\nIf you have a Birth chart, and know what to look for, look to see what Houses are connected to the <b>Aries</b> energy -- and if that sounds like I\'m talking a foreign language, feel free to watch my video: <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">How to Read Your Birth Chart</a> <i>or</i> <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">join our next Forecasting Forum</a> on <b>May 31st at 7pm EDT</b>, and ask me your questions there. We will cover the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that starts in June -- that will also be connected to Aries in your chart -- I will definitely explain this in great detail in the Forum ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> conjuncts Uranus in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> -- this alignment is exact on May 13th, in 29º of Aries, two days before the New Moon becomes exact<i>.</i><b><i> </i></b>This could bring some exciting possibilities, perhaps even a leap forward in the evolution of our consciousness, with flashes of insight into our own mental workings and some original thoughts coming through, etc.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, and as much as you want to (of course), stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What might a true breakthrough look like? What insights am I receiving? What is it I\'m learning about myself every day that might change my whole perspective?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury also makes a trine to Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>. With Saturn</i> being a part of the equation it is important for us to learn something new using a mature and realistic approach.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What concrete, practical plans could I make? Could I allow myself to take it one step at a time, staying grounded in the here and now? What does a truthful, realistic alignment with long-term goals look like to me?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> trines Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>at the time of the New Moon, bringing the potential for spiritual inspiration -- and it\'s a great time for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>How might more trust and empathy help my perception of intimate relationships? What might be possible for me if I allowed for things to unfold? What if I allowed myself to see the perfection in everything that I perceive right here, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> It is important to remember that we are part of nature, just like a tree, or an ocean -- our actions and interactions with the only home we have will change it, for good or ill. We are also developing an increasingly profound conscious awareness over the next 28 days that connects us to all that is alive.\r\n\r\nTo bring all this together,<b> ask yourself:</b> What baby steps could I take for the planet I co-inhabit? What would show my love and appreciation? What do I sense when I get very quiet and tune into my own energy field and the energy all around me? What really matters to my heart?\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <i>not</i> during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions </i>would be <b>between</b> <b>7:48am on Tuesday, May 15th and <strong>7:48am EDT Thursday morning (May 17th).</strong></b>\r\n\r\n<i>Note</i>, however, that there is a brief <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a><b> on Tuesday afternoon -- it runs from 4:30pm until 4:43pm EDT. </b><i>Don’t</i> set your intentions during those 13 minutes — instead, allow intuition to surface possible intentions while you wait.

I will be posting reminders on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday morning to let you know that it\'s the best time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nWhen setting intentions, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> What might shift if I focused 5% more on the beauty that already surrounds me?<i> </i>What might open up if I truly valued curiosity and open-mindedness? What if I learned to listen right past my conditioning and opinions? What if I took my time to respond? What might my heart want me to say? <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Again, feel free to also watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/IvgN28_yRKc\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 22-27 degrees of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>On Tuesday late morning, at 11:16am EDT</strong>,<em> Uranus changes signs from pioneering, fast-paced <strong>Aries</strong> to steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until November 6th. </strong>This is actually a \"preview\" of Uranus\'s coming 8-year transit through Taurus. I\'ll be posting a members-only essay on this major shift, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/uranus-in-taurus…actical-progress/ ‎\">click here to read it.</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in 0-2.5 degrees of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <i>will feel the impact of this first pass into Taurus  more than others. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> (Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius). Also: Uranus was  also in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> 8 3 years ago. If you were born 1935-1942, you will have a Uranus Return within the next 8 years.</i>  A new cycle begins in your individual journey towards creative Soul-Expression.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 4:30pm EDT</strong>, we enter a brief <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 13 minutes, <strong>until 4:43pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to take small steps on projects already underway -- or simply take a break and do a set of Sun Salutations or push-ups ;-)\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 4:43pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters chatty, versatile <strong>Gemini,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Thursday late afternoon/early evening. </strong>For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way…\r\n\r\nThe one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 16th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Gemini</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\nTuesday night/<strong>Wednesday very early morning at 12:55am EDT,</strong> <i>Mars changes signs from practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Capricorn</strong><i> to freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><strong><i>Aquarius</i>, </strong>where it<em> </em>will journey for an unusually long time, <strong>until August 12th. </strong>Due to the upcoming Mars retrograde phase that begins in the end of June, Mars will journey through<strong> Aquarius </strong>one more time,<strong> from Sept. 10th - Nov. 15th.</strong>\r\n\r\nI will be talking about the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that begins in June in my next Forecasting Forum. Mars will be stationing in Aquarius, and retrograding back into Capricorn. What does this mean for the current Healing journey of our masculine energies?\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how to align yourself with this planetary movement, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation.

How could you move that to the next level?\r\n\r\nDuring these times, when Mars travels through Aquarius, we enjoy surprising ourselves and others. The tried-and-true methods of getting things done are far too boring for us right now. We are looking for unique and original goals, and we tend to take a more original, forward-thinking view of the world now. What if, when you were least expecting it, you suddenly asked yourself \"How could I surprise the \"old me\" today?\" ;-)\r\n\r\nMental and intellectual pursuits are important to us now. The Aquarian ideal of equality is strong with this position, so we also place a lot of value in freedom and individuality -- our own <i>and</i> that of others. With Mars in this fixed sign, we will definitely need our independence, especially in personal relationships -- and we are not easily pushed around. It\'s best to give ourselves and others lots of space; if we feel boxed in, we may rebel or act contrary.\r\n\r\nIn general, we may feel a desire to push our agenda on others -- not in an aggressive way, though... more in a creative manner. As best as you can, bring a sense of openness to your approach to people and situations. Be aware of feeling superior to others: if you find yourself thinking that someone is less \"special\" than you, put your hand over your heart and ask \"what would my heart say to this?\"\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more detached, forward-thinking and freedom-loving. You may want to change things in your life that have outlived their use. If you are an </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 12.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mars/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:04am EDT. This is the first Mars/Uranus Square of the year in the fixed signs (Aquarius/Taurus). <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last week Monday (May 7th), it will remain strong until next week Friday (May 25th). </strong>This aspect asks us to get in touch with our desires and break away from anything that is holding us back. Passions and anger that we may not even know we had may emerge at this time.\r\n\r\nUranus urges us to let go of the past and focus on a better future. We may feel restless and impatient; we can be very demanding and difficult to please. We tend to feel like progress is too slow and we are tired of waiting. This could be an explosive time, as our inner rebel issues emotional challenges, while outer \"reality\" demands we change course.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, if you are the kind of person that doesn\'t go in for asserting themselves, this is an excellent time to try it out ;-) Do your best not to burn all your bridges, especially with any males in your family or in your various communities. We may also experience an awakening of sorts in regards to our sexuality.\r\n\r\nAccidents are unusually likely (though not inevitable), especially if our levels of activity and energy are erratic; to prevent this, stay as grounded as possible and keep breathing! Flexibility and open-mindedness are always helpful but are especially important now. Notice when you are digging your heels in about something, this is usually a sign that you have some underlying anxiety about something else; again, take a deep breath, get centered in your body, close your eyes and focus on your third eye.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What am I afraid of happening? How might I channel this restless energy into projects that are asking for progress? How might I channel, or just burn off, all this erratic energy? What kind of exercise might be an energetic match? Where am I stagnating? Where am I able to take innovative action?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or personal planets in </i><i>27-29 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn,</i></b><i> or 0-</i><i>3 </i><i>degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>?

You may also want to plan Thursday afternoon until early evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 5:47pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Saturday evening</strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it -- otherwise, you risk becoming drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday late evening, around 10:40pm EDT, </strong><em>the Sun in <strong>Taurus</strong> squares the Solar Eclipse degree</em> from Feb. 15th (27 degrees of <strong>Aquarius</strong>). This marks a turning point in our lives in regards to our Soul\'s Journey.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Observe how this plays out for you: Where are you looking to make progress? What needs to change? What adjustments or creative solutions might clear the way for you to move forward powerfully with an open mind?</span></p>\r\n<strong>Friday (May 18th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday late afternoon/early evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday early afternoon</strong>, <em>a harmonious Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:49pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening (May 16th) on, it will remain strong until Sunday (May 20th). </strong>It will help to interact with integrity and commitment. We can set aside unrealistic views and make concrete, practical plans, that help us explore our long-term goals.  <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe “get to the point” with no wasted time or words. Seeking a larger understanding, we speak our truth but temper it with adult caution and moderation. The reality of our beliefs gets clearer and our thought processes are more realistic. It is important for us to learn something new, with a mature attitude.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>5-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? Or perhaps you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn?</i></b><i> If so, you will likely be more blessed by this aspect.</i>\r\n\r\nAlso on<strong> Friday late afternoon, </strong>it\'s <i>time to take actions on our New Moon intentions</i>: if you set Intentions Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning -- after the New Moon became exact --<strong> today (from late afternoon on) </strong>and<strong> tomorrow (Saturday) <strong>before 5:14pm </strong></strong>and<strong><strong> after 7:11pm EDT, </strong></strong>will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (May 19th)</strong>:<em> the Moon remains in protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer</strong></em> <strong>until 7:11pm EDT</strong> (see Thursday early evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday morning at 9:11am EDT</strong>, <i style=\"font-style: italic;\">Venus changes signs from chatty, versatile &amp; curious</i><i> </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Gemini</strong><i style=\"font-style: italic;\"> to protective, nurturing </i><strong><i>Cancer, </i></strong>where she will journey <strong>until June 13th; </strong> for those 4 weeks, we value family, loved ones, our home, emotional safety -- and real-estate dealings.\r\n\r\nWe prefer to be around safe, familiar people and places. We\'d rather stay home than socialize; if we do go out, we much prefer dinner parties at someone\'s home to dining out. When it comes to love, be gentle with each other -- and make sure to talk about your feelings.\r\n\r\nWith regards to our finances, it\'s best to stick to what feels safest and most secure. It\'s a favorable time for real-estate and interior design, or anything that makes the home more comfortable and livable.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel more shy for the next 4 weeks. Your heart will want to connect with family and loved ones. If you are a</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to have more love and beauty in your life, for as long as Venus is in your sign ;-)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:30pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening (May 17th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Monday morning (May 21st). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This gives us the opportunity to experiment with how we relate to others -- to do something different or unusual -- freedom plays a big part in this aspect.</span>\r\n\r\nOf course, others are experimenting too, so you might experience some unusual or unexpected interactions during this time -- it\'s a favorable time for social meetings and events. As best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through your relationships.\r\n\r\nWe\'re also ready to experiment with our financial undertakings -- good places to look: all things \"tech\" (electronics, technology, internet); metaphysics; the arts; group activities. This is not the best time to make long-term financial investments not suggested in an intuitive flash ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 28-29 degrees of <strong>Gemini</strong></i><b><i>, Aries, Leo, </i></b><b><i>Aquarius, </i></b><i>or 0-2 degrees of <strong>Cancer, Taurus, Pisces, </strong>or<strong> Virgo</strong></i><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, Uranus rules Aquarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 5:14pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 2 hours, <strong>until 7:11pm EDT</strong>. This intuitive time is an opportunity to connect with family around shared values -- and perhaps also to take a look at your household finances...\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday late afternoon and evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 7:11pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Monday late evening</strong>. <span class=\"s1\">We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)</span>\r\n\r\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are also a big part of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.\r\n\r\nIf there are no children around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\nAgain, today<strong> (Saturday),  </strong>it\'s <i>time to take actions on our New Moon intentions</i>: if you set Intentions Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning -- after the New Moon became exact -- today <strong>before 5:14pm </strong>and<strong> after 7:11pm EDT, </strong>will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 20th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Saturday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning</strong>, <em>an opportune Mars/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:55am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Monday (May 14th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Friday (May 25th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This is an opportunity to accept the validity of our anger and desire so that we can learn to express these energies naturally and confidently.</span>\r\n\r\nThis could also inspire us to make resolutions and take actions towards healing our emotional and spiritual wounds. Remember: this is an \"opportunity\" -- those aren\'t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in the following: 29 degrees of <b>Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus, Scorpio, </b>or<b> </b>0-4 degrees of</i><b><i> Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, </i><span class=\"s1\"><i>you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Aries </i></b><i>(Mars rules Aries)</i></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late afternoon</strong>, <em>a challenging Venus/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:24pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday night (May 17th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Wednesday (May 23rd). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This aspect asks us to stretch past injuries and insecurities in our relationships, self-worth, and finances. If we can bring compassion and a different point of view to bear on these issues, we will reach a new understanding of ourselves and our life journey.</span>\r\n\r\nWe have the opportunity to learn from one another; ironically though, we may also feel insecure around others. Whenever Chiron is involved, we are being asked to do some healing work. As best as you can, use this time to learn about your sore spots. Nobody is perfect: we all have our flaws and idiosyncrasies. It\'s ok.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you get triggered by someone, as best as you can, take it as an opportunity to see where this trigger originated -- probably in your childhood. Bring love and compassion to yourself, as you are, and as you were (i.e. your \"wounded child\"). Allow <i>any</i> feelings this may stir up in you. A feeling is just energy that wants to be experienced, and honored; it wants to move through us and out.</span></p>\r\nThe more we resist our feelings, the more we keep them spinning in place. As best as you can, move from the head to the heart: What might change, if you showed 5% more compassion toward your inner wounded child? What if you just decided to take an active part in the healing process?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: 28-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i>0-5 degrees of </i><b><i>Cancer, Aries, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 10:06pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from early morning (May 20th) on, it will remain strong until Monday evening (May 21st). </strong><span class=\"s1\">We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward; we need to make a choice. We need to develop inner awareness, so we can make adjustments.</span>\r\n\r\nThis might concern compromising with others. Our enthusiasm might make us impatient or hasty with others. Our values may not be in alignment with those we work with. As best as you can, keep choosing the \"better\" alternative, adjusting as needed.\r\n\r\nWhen life slows down, or becomes uncomfortable, simplify and be patient. We are changing and growing in ways that we can\'t comprehend right now. Stay as open and observant as you can.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-3 degrees of</i><b><i> Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> (Venus rules Taurus and Libra; Mars rules Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening at 10:15pm EDT</strong>,the Sun changes signs from steady, sensual <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>to versatile, fast-thinking</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b>. It will journey through Gemini <b>until June 21st.</b> With the Sun in Gemini, the urge for self-expression is strong. We may be extra interested in collecting and sharing information. This is a time when curiosity and adaptability are favored. We are more flexible, changeable and adaptable -- which makes us quite social as well.\r\n\r\nWe enjoy intellectual conversations and we can easily become bored if we are not getting enough mental stimulation at this time. We are more objective and observant but prefer to keep things light and easy. There is usually a nervousness in the air at this time as well, as we are constantly seeking to connect and have new interactions. “Sharing” is the name of the game.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Gemini, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo, your vitality will most likely speed up and you feel more chatty than usual.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 11:30 pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 22.5 hours, <strong>until 10:03pm EDT </strong>(Monday late evening, May 21st). We are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we feel a strong need to have fun and be creative or self-expressed.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, we want to explore deep, authentic -- even intimate -- connections to ourselves or others. Do your best to use this intuitive time to make adjustments, slow things down a little, and find creative solutions that honor both drives.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday late evening and Monday all day ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>A heads-up for next Monday (May 21st)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a>, <strong>until 10:03pm EDT</strong>. <strong>Also on Monday at 11:49pm EDT</strong>, <em>the first Quarter Moon in 1 degree of <strong>Virgo</strong> becomes exact</em>; the Moon in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in chatty, versatile <strong>Gemini</strong>.

We may want to have some fun, but may also need to tune in to our intuitive inner voice.

We have an opportunity to connect, explore, and become part of something exciting.\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday evening, </b>feels a little uneasy. We need to develop an inner awareness around our two seemingly opposite pulls: on the one hand, a strong desire to accomplish; on the other, our need for play and fun.\r\n\r\nWe are asked to bring awareness to whatever it is we feel most passionate about: Are we after laughter and joy? Or intense and authentic emotion? As best as you can, make adjustments as needed, and drop any self-judgment.\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday  late evening, </b>we feel a need for acknowledgment and adoration... and also for deep, authentic -- even intimate -- connections to others.

Freedom plays a big part in our interactions with others.\r\n\r\nIt\'s a favorable time for social meetings and events. Do something different, something unusual, with one-on-one relationships -- break the routine -- and as you can imagine, you might experience some unexpected interactions during this time. As best as you can, stay open and flexible: Fresh air is blowing through your relationships.\r\n\r\nWe are also ready to experiment with regards to financial undertakings; good energetic matches include anything involving electronics, technology, the internet, metaphysics, the arts, and group activities in general. That said, this is not the best time to make long-term financial investments, unless you had an intuitive vision about something ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 24-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn, </i></b><i>or 0 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>?

Allow your mind to be clear and calm even if life puts up roadblocks or throws curveballs. Simplify daily routines as much as you can.\r\n\r\nWhat if you simply knew that you could handle whatever shows up? Would you rather have your old programming... or more clarity? Would you rather have inner and outer clutter, or inner and outer clarity? Where do you need more information?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in </i><i>5-</i><i>12</i><i> degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Thursday,</b> <em>the Mercury Station ends (at </em><i>14 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b>). <i>Mercury resumes its normal pace through the sky</i> -- but moving backward through the sky, as seen from Earth (that’s what “retrograde” refers to).<i> </i>We have a chance to do some internal work on any thinking and/or communication issues that came up over the last couple of weeks, that were connected to our passions and personal goals.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (March 30th)</strong>: the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <b>Virgo</b><b> until 1:52pm EDT </b>(see Wednesday late morning for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Friday at 12:59am EDT</b>, we enter a <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that last for 13-hours, <b>until 1:52pm EDT</b>. Use this intuitive time to get organized, improve daily routines, and to develop more awareness of how that all fits in with expanding intimate connections with others.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday morning and early afternoon ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Friday at 1:52pm EDT</b>, <i>the Moon moves into relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>, where it will journey<b> </b><b>until Sunday evening.</b><b> </b>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts. This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the Full Moon</i> (exact on Saturday morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 31st)</strong>: <i>the Moon will remain in</i> <i>relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking </i><b>Libra </b><b>all day</b><b> </b>(see Friday afternoon for details).<b>\r\n</b>\r\n<b>Saturday at 12:54am EDT</b>,<b> </b><i>Venus moves from fast-paced, enthusiastic, active </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>into steady, sensual</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where she will journey <b>until April 24th.</b> For the next 3.5 weeks, we love receiving physical pleasures and comforts. Our relationships are centered around delicious foods, wine and sensuality.\r\n\r\n\"Simple and natural\" is key. Our financial issues and dealings are being carefully and lovingly considered, we are not easily persuaded to take risks, we\'d rather spend our money on a massage or a good meal.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel even more attracted to physical pleasures and comfort for the next 3.5 weeks. Your heart will want loyalty and consistency. Connecting to nature or anything simple and organic is going to feels especially comforting. </i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday (March 31st) at 8:37am EDT</b>, <i>the Full Moon in almost 11 degrees of</i> <b>Libra</b> becomes exact. All Full Moons bring an opportunity for awareness and integration of the traits connected to the the Full Moon polarities, especially those that have been neglected or suppressed.\r\n\r\nNow, this particular Full Moon also creates a T-Square with the Mars-Saturn alignment in <b>Capricorn</b>, and occurs in the midst of the Mercury Retrograde phase in <b>Aries, </b>conjunct with the Sun in<b> Aries</b>. So we have some very complex patterns here with this Full Moon and we will address all of them in a moment; <a href=\"https://youtu.be/fiqadkfHQHU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">feel free to also watch my very first Members-Only Full Moon video here</a>\r\n\r\nThe entrance of the Moon into Libra, on Friday early afternoon, started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon</i>;<i> the Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> opposes the Moon</i> <i>in </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>. The<b> Libra-Aries polarity</b> highlights the spiritual dance between self and other, masculine and feminine, independence and collaboration.\r\n\r\n<b>For the next two weeks,</b> we are looking for balance. The balance in question is between ourselves -- symbolized by <b>Aries</b> -- and others (<b>Libra</b>). It\'s important here to realize that relationships (symbolized by <b>Libra</b>) are essential to our existence -- and play a crucial role in defining and reaching our personal goals/desires (represented by <b>Aries</b>).\r\n\r\nWe are also invited to look at the balance of feminine and masculine within ourselves, our relationships, and our world. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Where has this gone out of balance? What happens when there is too much of one or both? Or too little?\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> calls us to look at the roles that “assertion\" and “independence” play in our lives. We\'re called to find ways to develop a healthy sense of self -- total honesty is crucial here, both with ourselves and with others. Allow the higher vibrations of Aries to shine through: courage, openness towards the new, directness, a healthy sense of identity. The spotlight is on us, so why not use it to see clearly, and be seen?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon in </i><b><i>Libra</i></b> emphasizes the need for collaboration: objectivity, consideration, equality, balance, justice, etc. As you can tell, the spotlight swings over to our relationships.\r\n\r\nNow, with <i>Mars (the ruler of Aries) so close to Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> (exact on April 2nd), and <i>Mercury so close to the Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> (exact on April 1st) -- and both of those alignments squaring each other -- we get an opportunity to stretch and grow, big time, within the next two weeks!\r\n\r\n<i>The Mars/Saturn alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> is a new two-year cycle of real-world, long-term physical manifestation. We are getting a chance to make new commitments, especially in the area of life corresponding to this aspect\'s placement in our own birth charts!\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What would a stable foundation for my projects look like? What might a desirable outcome look like? What is something truly responsible I could do (small or large)?\r\n\r\nFor those of you who get the Monthly Forecasting Forum as part of your membership, we\'ll be covering this personal impact in quite some detail next time (on April 2nd)!\r\n\r\n<i>Retrograde Mercury coming together with the Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> represents an opportunity to rethink our desires and realign with what we feel truly passionate about. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Who am I being in my relationships (including the one with me, myself, and I)? What do I communicate to others and myself? And what\'s my communication style? What calls for my awareness and attention when dealing with the apparent other?\r\n\r\nNow let\'s talk about the <i>T-square with Mars and Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> as the focal point</i>: Mars and Saturn squaring the Moon in <b>Libra,</b> and the Sun in <b>Aries</b>.\r\n\r\nThis T-square invites us to check in with our motivations and ambitions connected to long-term goals. We are feeling pulled between our personal desires, our one-on-one relationships with others (personal or business), and our long-term aspirations. Doing what\'s \"right\" is important to us at this time, but it may not always be in alignment with what we truly want for ourselves. Conflict can be a by-product of this challenging aspect, as it creates an internal tension.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> If the world needed something from me, what might that be? Are my ambitions interfering with my ability to connect with others? How can I stay true to myself while taking other people\'s needs into account? What if it were possible for me to take responsibility for my interactions without guilt?\r\n\r\nHere is something I read about, that I wanted to share (with some minor tweaks): A very powerful way of resolving relationship issues, whether past or present, is to resolve the situation within ourselves. In a meditative state, imagine sitting across from someone with whom you have unresolved feelings or issues. Either inwardly or verbally, express what is still in your heart. Allow yourself to say what you have been unable to or afraid to say.\r\n\r\nImagine speaking to <i>their</i> Soul-self, and imagine what their higher Self would say to you in response to what you shared. When that feels done, go back and forth, until you feel a sense of peace and completion. You will know you are finished when your body is fully relaxed and there is nothing left to feel or express but gratitude.\r\n\r\nThe beauty of this is that it doesn’t require the \"other\" to evolve or even be open-hearted -- furthermore, they don\'t even have to be present (or even alive-- we can do this even if they\'ve left the physical plane). Remember, on a soul-level we are pure love; we understand all and everything \"makes sense\". Why not experiment with this practice -- if it resonates, feel free to share your experience on my website via the comments there. Your insight might help somebody else have a breakthrough, and then we all get to experience that within our community and in the world.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go back to that T-square: given the \"<i>empty leg\" of this T-square lands in </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>,</i> we are invited to pay attention to our basic needs: the need for love and acceptance, for control (which sometimes shows up as not wanting to feel out of control), and our need for safety and security. We are reminded to nurture ourselves, especially our feeling body, and to be open to receiving support from familiar, trusted people -- as best as we can, of course.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> How might a commitment to my emotional well-being support me with my long-term goals and my relationships (including the one with myself)? Might nurturing myself help me step outside my comfort zone? If so, what modest daily practice might best provide that nurturing?\r\n\r\nWith so many planets in cardinal signs, we might feel overly active... They will keep us busy for sure -- in fact, it could end up being too much pressure, too many commitments and obligations. As best as you can, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself over the next two weeks. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I\'m doing the best I can, and by definition, that\'s the best I can do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you find that you are pushing yourself too hard, you might also <strong>ask yourself:</strong> When is enough, enough? Just for this moment, right now, could I focus on nurturing myself? Could I allow myself a break, before I break myself? Might that mean I come back stronger? Might that actually be more efficient in the long run? Could I try that quickly, just as an experiment?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus (the ruler of Libra), currently in </i><b><i>Taurus,</i></b> is helping us see how most struggles in relationships trace back to the relationship we have with ourselves: How worthy we feel, how valuable we think we are (just as we are, without needing to do anything, simply our presence, our being alive).\r\n\r\nThis placement facilitates recognizing that what we seek in our relationships is actually inside of us. It\'s the love that we seek to give and receive, and it starts with giving it to ourselves and being able to receive it from ourselves: All you need is Love!\r\n\r\nI invite you to do another little experiment here: As best as you can, stop for a moment and get as comfortable as possible, wherever you are. Now, simply <strong>ask yourself:</strong> Could I notice how much I dislike myself, to the extent I actually do? And as an experiment, how much could I love myself in this now moment? Simply go back and forth between those questions, alternating them repeatedly for several cycles. End on the \"love\" question... What did you notice as you alternated those questions?\r\n\r\nIf you feel out of tune with the wording of either question, feel free to replace the word \"dislike\" with \"hate\" and the word \"love\" with \"like\" (or whatever words works best for you). Go back and forth, until you feel completely neutral and at peace from within. This is not an exercise for the mind, so it doesn\'t require to understand it or to figure it out. As best as you can, let your heart lead you and see what happens.\r\n\r\nBy the way, those questions are drawn from The Sedona Method -- a technique I use a great deal in my coaching practice -- I love it because it\'s a simple, question-based technique you can learn in less than an hour, then use immediately and for the rest of your life.

This aspect indicates a confident mind and an analytical approach to life. Intelligence and communication abilities are strong at this time; however, we may not listen as well as the other speaks -- we might be too busy thinking about what to say next.</i>\r\n\r\nIn general, we have a strong need to take an active role in communications -- it is very hard for us to passively listen and absorb information right now. What we say or write now is impactful, so choose your words as if people hung on every one. If they really, truly did... what would you say then? What might you hold back from saying?\r\n\r\nOur opinions are usually strong during this time; we like to think independently and are proud of our opinions and our thoughts. For this reason, our egos might get bruised if we are not \"heard\" -- if our opinions are pushed aside, ignored or criticized.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have different opinions… and that\'s ok. We may be particularly impulsive during this time... but rushing in may not serve us. For those four days, ask yourself: What might happen if I allowed my mind to slow down by just 5%?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in </i><i>8</i><i>-15 degrees of</i> <b><i>Aries,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Libra, Capricorn</i></b><i>, or </i><b><i>Cancer?</i></b> <i>If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo, Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)\r\n</i>\r\n<b>Sunday at 2:29pm EDT</b>, we enter a <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>, that last for 4.5-hours, <b>until 6:57pm EDT</b>. Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday afternoon and early evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday at 6:57pm EDT</b>, <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey<b> <strong>until next week, Wednesday very early morning (April 4th).</strong></b><b> </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\nAlso, on<strong> Sunday</strong>: Last chance to join my <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-live/\">next Forecasting Forum, </a>live tomorrow, <b>Monday at 1pm EDT</b> (more details at the very bottom of the blog)…\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (April 2nd):</strong> <i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day</b><b> </b>(see Sunday evening for details). <b>Late morning</b>, a<i> </i><i>Mars/Saturn alignment in almost 9 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong> </i><i>becomes exact</i> at 11:44am EDT. <b>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday on, it will be strong until next week, Saturday (April 7th)</b><b>. </b>More about all the details in next week’s forecast ;-)\r\n<h3>One Last Announcement:</h3>\r\nJoin me for my next FORECASTING FORUM, <b>Monday</b>, <b>April 2nd, 2018 at </b>10am<b> </b>PDT/<b> 1pm EDT</b>/6pm BST (London-time).<b> </b>We will be talking about the upcoming<b> Station </b>and<b> Retrograde phases in April: </b>Saturn stations and goes retrograde in 9º of Capricorn, Pluto stations and goes retrograde in 21º of Capricorn -- and Mars (the warrior archetype) will join in as well!\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how to align yourself with these retrograde phases, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation.

Mars enters its shadow phase on Saturday, and Mercury changes signs from Aries to Taurus on Sunday.\r\n\r\nThere will be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: Tuesday late evening (for almost 1 hour), Friday early morning (for a little over 3.5 hours), and Sunday afternoon (for 10 minutes).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (May 7th)</strong>:<em> the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking</em> <strong><em>Aquarius</em> all day</strong>. It will journey there <b>until Tuesday late evening. </b>The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount. With this Moon placement we can feel already the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Monday late evening).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:52am EDT.<strong> We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday afternoon (May 5th) on, it will remain strong until this Wednesday afternoon (May 9th). </strong>This aspect creates some tension in our lives.

We are being asked to<b> </b>find creative solutions and be completely honest with ourselves and others. The best way to achieve this is by the continual practice of self-care and self-nurturing.\r\n\r\nWe have tremendous focus and drive right now, which can tip into obsession. With this aspect an all-or-nothing attitude is very likely. Choose love over fear whenever possible. Not many people enjoy being second-guessed all the time, yet that is something that we are inclined to do now.\r\n\r\nHowever, our determination to get to the bottom of any matter, to rip away falsehoods and expose true motives, can be used for good if we employ it in our work, for example, in regards to investigations or research. This is an opportunity to learn to harness our intense mental energy and apply it productively. We are also capable of very hard work, focus and effort now.\r\n\r\nWe have a great love of debate, but should be careful that we don\'t overpower others with our strong opinions, attempting to \"convert\" them to our frame of mind, or treat regular exchanges of opinion as battlegrounds. Connect to yourself and others, empowering yourself/them with what you feel passionate about.\r\n\r\nChoose your words/thoughts carefully, from a deeply connected and empowered place rather than from a place of fear, self-protection or a need for survival.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>18-24 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early evening</strong>, a challenging Venus/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 5:58pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday morning (May 5th) on, it will remain strong until this Thursday morning (May 10th).</strong> We can be confused, unrealistic, or overly idealistic around love and money -- so it\'s best to wait until the transit is over, before making big moves in these areas -- if you make long-term financial investments, buy or sell big-ticket items, or start brand-new relationships, it\'s likely you will not see things as they truly are.\r\n\r\nWe are actually being asked to have faith; to let our intuition guide us in money and love -- if we are able to do this, we will grow through it. As best as you can, be compassionate with yourself and others during these 5 days -- it might also help to know that relationships and endeavors of a spiritual or artistic nature can move forward at this time.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>13-19 degrees</em><span class=\"s1\"><i> of</i> <b><i>Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune rules Pisces).</i></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 10:09pm EDT</strong>, <em>the last Quarter Moon in 17.5 degrees of <strong>Aquarius</strong></em> becomes exact. The Moon in <strong>Aquarius</strong> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in <strong>Taurus</strong>. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Aquarius last Sunday morning (May 6th). </strong><span class=\"s2\"><i> </i>This may bring challenges; however, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.</span>\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to May 15th\'s New Moon in <strong>Taurus</strong>. With the last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us to take a look at what needs to be completed. What -- if anything -- needs last-minute adjustments? What did you discover since April 15th? What did it mean for you? What actions could shift the things you seeded or started in mid-late April?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 15-20 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Aquarius, Leo </strong>or<strong> Scorpio</strong>? If so, you will feel this month\'s last Quarter Moon quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in <strong>Leo </strong>or<strong> Cancer</strong> (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (May 8th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking</em> <strong><em>Aquarius</em> until 11:11pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for more details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late evening</strong>, <em>a Sun/Jupiter opposition</em> becomes exact at 8:39pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday morning (May 5th) on, it will remain strong until this Friday evening (May 11th). </strong> This aspect can bring an opportunity to open up our consciousness through other people. As best as you can, expand your perspectives about intimate relationships, other people\'s resources and be open to bringing some optimism to those areas of your life.\r\n\r\nThe urge to grow and expand is strong, but we might overreach -- and hasty actions could backfire. As best as you can, don’t expect too much from others or yourself; avoid over-promising, and create deeper connections whenever you can. Use humor :-)\r\n\r\nProjects or ambitions may come to a culmination point, or undergo surprising changes; ask yourself: What insights am I receiving? Where can I go from here? What if I walked in their shoes, just for a moment? Where would I walk to?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in<em>15-22 degrees</em> of <b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more affected by this opposition.This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 10:29pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for almost an hour, <strong>until 11:11pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC,</a> as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday late evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 11:11pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters creative, sensitive <strong>Pisces</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Friday morning. </strong> This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 9th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive</em><strong><em> Pisces</em> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:36pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning (May 8th) on, it will remain strong until Thursday morning (May 10th). </strong>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed in order to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\nThis aspect is a fork in the road. We could take the path of learning about inner dialog and sharing ourselves with others by being open and curious -- or, we could take the path that leads to increased understanding of intimacy and resources that are shared with others.\r\n\r\nEither way, we can develop a new perspective on how to approach these things. Awareness is key with this aspect: What is needed? How can we serve the broader view?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>17-19 degrees</em> of <b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (May 10th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive</em> <strong>Pisces all day</strong> (see Tuesday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early morning,</strong> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday late morning,</strong> a nice feeling of ease and an ability to trust and connect deeply with others. As best as you can, trust your intuitive sensing right now, allow whatever comes up to be beneficial for you.\r\n\r\nThursday early afternoon: we feel a need to go within -- and also want to connect and learn from others. This tension clearly invites us to stretch a little and resolve it through creative solutions -- the key here is to listen to our intuition, so we don\'t drive ourselves or others crazy.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday afternoon: </strong>we get an opportunity to be very present; also to connect with others and share practical advice, or simply enjoy \"the good things in life\". As best as you can, bring a sense of flow and faith to who you are being, and allow yourself to slow down and connect with nature.\r\n\r\nThursday late afternoon, we have the opportunity to be guided by inspiration, and fully commit to a project or task that might serve us long-term. As best as you can, listen and trust to the subtle messages in your heart, that stir you towards success.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (May 11th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive</em> <strong>Pisces</strong> <strong>until 8:40am EDT</strong> (see Tuesday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 5:02am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for a little over 3.5 hours, <strong>until 8:40am EDT. </strong><span class=\"s1\">If you are awake during this intuitive time, take the opportunity to go within and listen to your subtle intuitive \"voice\" -- your heart -- then focus anew on your long-term goals.</span>\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday morning ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 8:40am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters pioneering, fast-paced <strong>Aries,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday afternoon</strong>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday evening</strong>, <em>a harmonious Sun/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 7:10pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning (May 8th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening (May 14th). </strong>This aspect brings a sense of focus and empowerment to our long-term goals. We have the ability to look at everything in a very down-to-earth manner right now; through our understanding of \"what is and what is not\", we can make more powerful choices.\r\n\r\nWe can also deepen our understanding of our own motivations and look closely at where we are heading. This aspect also brings an intensity and a depth to our conscious awareness; therefore this is also a great time to transform our lives, stripping away anything -- even people -- that no longer connect with who we are.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How can I live more authentically? Is there anything holding me back? What fears and attachments could I release now, that no longer serve my evolution? Am I willing to let them go, just for now, and just as best as I can?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>18-24 degrees</em> of <b><i>Taurus, Capricorn</i></b><i> or <b>Virgo</b></i><i>? If so, you will be even more blessed by this aspect than those who do not; this is also true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (the Sun being the ruler of Leo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late evening, </strong><em>the Balsamic Moon phase begins, when the Moon reaches 9.5 degrees of <strong>Aries. </strong> This lasts <b>until Tuesday morning</b>, when the New Moon in <b>Taurus </b>becomes exact (for those of you who are impatiently waiting for my New Moon video, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here</a> after May 10th). We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our intuition.</em>\r\n\r\nFor some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes. This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday night</strong> (Saturday very early morning), <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:05am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening (May 10th) on, it will remain strong until Saturday evening (May 12th). </strong>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice… so we need to develop inner awareness.\r\n\r\nFear of disappointment is causing some tension. Our inner need for growth requires honesty about what is causing those fears -- most likely our own lack of good boundaries and self-esteem. Watch out for getting pulled into overly burdensome roles in other people\'s lives, because you feel it is required of you, this can often be a path into \"control issues\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, carefully examine your motivations and self-image: How do you feel about your ability to communicate, share yourself and connect on a deep emotional level? What role does fear play in all of this?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>20-22 degrees Gemini <i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i></em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (May 12th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced</em> <strong>Aries</strong> <strong>all day</strong> (see Friday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday late morning</strong>,<em> a challenging Mercury/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 9:30am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday (May 10th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening (May 14th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">Due to the recent Mercury Retrograde phase, we get to experience this aspect several times; this is the third and last pass within the last 10 weeks. </span>\r\n\r\n<span class=\"s1\">This gives us a chance to address our approach toward any misunderstandings. </span><span class=\"s1\">This aspect<i> </i></span><span class=\"s2\">brings some juicy energy to our conversations. This is a chance to have some discussions that have been overdue. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">As best as you can, make it a productive discussion that serves you and others -- a win-win -- otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards. Also, watch out on the road for some crazy drivers… rushing might not necessarily get you there faster ;-) </span></p>\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in the following: 25-29 degrees of<strong> Aries, </strong><strong>Capricorn</strong>,<strong> Libra, Cancer,</strong> or 0-1 degree of <b>Taurus, Aquarius, Scorpio </b>or<b> Leo</b>?<span class=\"s3\"><i> </i></span><span class=\"s2\"><i>If so, you may feel more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries)</i></span>\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Saturday, </strong><em>Mars enters its 6.5-week shadow phase, when it reaches 28.5 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong>. </em><span class=\"s1\">This precedes the retrograde phase, which will begin on June 26th in 9 degrees of <b>Aquarius</b> (more on that in 6 weeks).</span>\r\n\r\nSo what is the \"shadow phase\"? To explain this, I\'ll quickly cover what happens when a planet \"stations\" and then goes “retrograde\".\r\n\r\nRelative to us on Earth, a planet sometimes looks like it is slowing down (\"stationing\"), then stopping. After being still for a while, it actually appears to go \"backward\" through the sky (this is the \"retrograde\" phase). It\'s a little like catching up to a car on the highway, driving exactly alongside it for a moment, then passing it and pulling ahead.\r\n\r\nAt first, retrograde movement is slow, but the planet gradually reaches its normal pace through the sky -- except it\'s going backward. The process then reverses itself: the backward pace slows, the planet crawls to a \"halt\", then it starts to move forward again (i.e. it goes direct). In our car analogy, it\'s like the car you just passed gradually speeds up and passes you again.\r\n\r\nThere are also two \"shadow\" phases -- during these, the planet travels over a part of the sky it will later \"revisit\". The first \"shadow\" comes before the planet moves backward; the second comes when the planet starts to catch back up (after going direct).\r\n\r\nIt\'s like you went hiking and left something behind at camp. If you went back to get it, you\'d have some catching up to do, and would see the same scenery twice or more. Mars\'s shadow phases usually last 6-7 weeks before and after the Retrograde phase. Pay attention to what you do or pursue during this time; you may need to revisit or redo them during the Retrograde phase.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 13th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced</em> <strong>Aries until 2:15 EDT</strong> (see Friday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Uranus alignment in 29 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> becomes exact at 6:50am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday morning (May 11th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Tuesday (May 5th).  </strong><span class=\"s1\">With this alignment, an important insight is coming through, something new is preparing to enter consciousness – and we are getting the urge to move forward. We might experience some really unusual conversations. Our mind could be flooded with new information and ideas, and we most likely feel enthusiastic and excited by these fresh ideas and insights.</span>\r\n\r\nIt\'s a time when we could achieve real breakthroughs in the form of ideas, communications, and the mind in general — but coupled with the possibility of edginess and impatience toward those who don’t “get” our new insights. Nervousness, impulsivity and fidgeting could be a by-product of this alignment as well.\r\n\r\nComputers and electronics may suddenly become important. We\'ll likely have flashes of insight into our own mental workings, original thoughts, etc. As best as you can, and as much as you want to, stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body. That way, all that energy can move through you, without shaking you to the core ;-)\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 26-29 degrees of <b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn, </i></b><i>or 0-2 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </strong>or<strong> Aquarius</strong></i><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>  (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Uranus rules Aquarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 8:40am EDT</strong>, Mercury changes signs from<i> </i><span class=\"s1\"><i>enthusiastic, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> to steady, peaceful </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where it will journey<b> until <strong>May 29th</strong></b>.<b> For the next 3 weeks</b>, our thinking shifts gears: we want to connect to others in a realistic, down-to-earth way and we \"say it like it is\". We appreciate common sense; we rely on our senses when it comes to processing information.</span>\r\n\r\nA well-developed sense of color, smell, and touch are characteristic of this Mercury position, so as long as Mercury is in Taurus, we will be drawn towards the \"tasteful\" in the realm of the five senses. We are more likely to have a no-nonsense approach to decision-making, and our ideas are often very practical and useful at this time.\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to learning, we prefer demonstrations, concrete answers, and basic concepts for the next 3 weeks. We learn best when we see real-world uses for the theories we are trying to absorb. We simply process information better when we can personalize it (\"what use is it to me?\") and attach it to the practical world.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in <b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more talkative during this time. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>?

Would you rather have inner and outer clutter, or inner and outer clarity? Where do you need more information?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in </i><i><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">5</span>-</i><i>12</i><i> degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Thursday,</b> <em>the Mercury Station ends (at </em><i>14 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b>). <i>Mercury resumes its normal pace through the sky</i> -- but moving backward through the sky, as seen from Earth (that’s what “retrograde” refers to).<i> </i>We have a chance to do some internal work on any thinking and/or communication issues that came up over the last couple of weeks, that were connected to our passions and personal goals.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (March 30th)</strong>: the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <b>Virgo</b><b> until 1:52pm EDT </b>(see Wednesday late morning for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Friday at 12:59am EDT</b>, we enter a <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that last for 13-hours, <b>until 1:52pm EDT</b>.

These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts. This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the Full Moon</i> (exact on Saturday morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 31st)</strong>: <i>the Moon will remain in</i> <i>relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking </i><b>Libra </b><b>all day</b><b> </b>(see Friday afternoon for details).<b>\r\n</b>\r\n<b>Saturday at 12:54am EDT</b>,<b> </b><i>Venus moves from fast-paced, enthusiastic, active </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>into steady, sensual</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where she will journey <b>until April 24th.</b> For the next 3.5 weeks, we love receiving physical pleasures and comforts. Our relationships are centered around delicious foods, wine and sensuality.\r\n\r\n\"Simple and natural\" is key. Our financial issues and dealings are being carefully and lovingly considered, we are not easily persuaded to take risks, we\'d rather spend our money on a massage or a good meal.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel even more attracted to physical pleasures and comfort for the next 3.5 weeks. Your heart will want loyalty and consistency. Connecting to nature or anything simple and organic is going to feels especially comforting. </i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday (March 31st) at 8:37am EDT</b>, <i>the Full Moon in almost 11 degrees of</i> <b>Libra</b> becomes exact. All Full Moons bring an opportunity for awareness and integration of the traits connected to the the Full Moon polarities, especially those that have been neglected or suppressed.\r\n\r\nNow, this particular Full Moon also creates a T-Square with the Mars-Saturn alignment in <b>Capricorn</b>, and occurs in the midst of the Mercury Retrograde phase in <b>Aries, </b>conjunct with the Sun in<b> Aries</b>. So we have some very complex patterns here with this Full Moon and we will address all of them in a moment; <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/category/full-moon/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">feel free to also watch my very first Members-Only Full Moon video here</a>: https://youtu.be/fiqadkfHQHU\r\n\r\nThe entrance of the Moon into Libra, on Friday early afternoon, started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon</i>;<i> the Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> opposes the Moon</i> <i>in </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>. The<b> Libra-Aries polarity</b> highlights the spiritual dance between self and other, masculine and feminine, independence and collaboration.\r\n\r\n<b>For the next two weeks,</b> we are looking for balance. The balance in question is between ourselves -- symbolized by <b>Aries</b> -- and others (<b>Libra</b>). It\'s important here to realize that relationships (symbolized by <b>Libra</b>) are essential to our existence -- and play a crucial role in defining and reaching our personal goals/desires (represented by <b>Aries</b>).\r\n\r\nWe are also invited to look at the balance of feminine and masculine within ourselves, our relationships, and our world. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Where has this gone out of balance? What happens when there is too much of one or both? Or too little?\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> call us to look at the roles that “assertion\" and “independence” play in our lives. We\'re called to find ways to develop a healthy sense of self -- total honesty is crucial here, both with ourselves and with others. Allow the higher vibrations of Aries to shine through: courage, openness towards the new, directness, a healthy sense of identity. The spotlight is on us, so why not use it to see clearly, and be seen?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon in </i><b><i>Libra</i></b> emphasizes the need for collaboration: objectivity, consideration, equality, balance, justice, etc. As you can tell, the spotlight swings over to our relationships.\r\n\r\nNow, with <i>Mars (the ruler of Aries) so close to Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> (exact on April 2nd), and <i>Mercury so close to the Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> (exact on April 1st) -- and both of those alignments squaring each other -- we get an opportunity to stretch and grow, big time, within the next two weeks!\r\n\r\n<i>The Mars/Saturn alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> is a new two-year cycle of real world, long-term physical manifestation. We are getting a chance to make new commitments, especially in the area of life corresponding to this aspect\'s placement in our own birth charts!\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What would a stable foundation for my projects look like? What might a desirable outcome look like? What is something truly responsible I could do (small or large)?\r\n\r\nFor those of you who get the Monthly Forecasting Forum as part of your membership, we\'ll be covering this personal impact in quite some detail next time (on April 2nd)!\r\n\r\n<i>Retrograde Mercury coming together with the Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> represents an opportunity to rethink our desires and realign with what we feel truly passionate about. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Who am I being in my relationships (including the one with me, myself, and I)? What do I communicate to others and myself? And what\'s my communication style? What calls for my awareness and attention when dealing with the apparent other?\r\n\r\nNow let\'s talk about the <i>T-square with Mars and Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> as the focal point</i>: Mars and Saturn squaring the Moon in <b>Libra,</b> and the Sun in <b>Aries</b>.\r\n\r\nThis T-square invites us to check in with our motivations and ambitions connected to long-term goals. We are feeling pulled between our personal desires, our one-on-one relationships with others (personal or business), and our long-term aspirations. Doing what\'s \"right\" is important to us at this time, but it may not always be in alignment with what we truly want for ourselves. Conflict can be a by-product of this challenging aspect, as it creates an internal tension.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> If the world needed something from me, what might that be? Are my ambitions interfering with my ability to connect with others? How can I stay true to myself while taking other people\'s needs into account? What if it were possible for me to take responsibility for my interactions without guilt?\r\n\r\nHere is something I read about, that I wanted to share (with some minor tweaks): A very powerful way of resolving relationship issues, whether past or present, is to resolve the situation within ourselves. In a meditative state, imagine sitting across from someone with whom you have unresolved feelings or issues. Either inwardly or verbally, express what is still in your heart. Allow yourself to say what you have been unable to or afraid to say.\r\n\r\nImagine speaking to <i>their</i> Soul-self, and imagine what their higher Self would say to you in response to what you shared. When that feels done, go back and forth, until you feel a sense of peace and completion. You will know you are finished, when your body is fully relaxed, and there is nothing left to feel or express but gratitude.\r\n\r\nThe beauty of this is that it doesn’t require the \"other\" to evolve or even be open-hearted -- furthermore, they don\'t even have to be present (or even alive-- we can do this even if they\'ve left the physical plane). Remember, on a soul-level we are pure love; we understand all and everything \"makes sense\". Why not experiment with this practice -- if it resonates, feel free to share about it on my website via the comments there. Your insight might help somebody else have a breakthrough, and then we all get to experience that within our community and in the world.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go back to that T-square: given the \"<i>empty leg\" of this T-square lands in </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>,</i> we are invited to pay attention to our basic needs: the need for love and acceptance, for control (which sometimes shows up as not wanting to feel out of control), for need for safety and security. We are reminded to nurture ourselves, especially our feeling body, and to be open to receiving support from familiar, trusted people -- as best as we can, of course.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> How might a commitment to my emotional well-being support me with my long-term goals and my relationships (including the one with myself)? Might nurturing myself help me step outside my comfort zone? If so, what modest daily practice might best provide that nurturing?\r\n\r\nWith so many planets in cardinal signs, we might feel overly active.... They will keep us busy for sure, in fact it could end up being too much pressure, too many commitments and obligations. As best as you can, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself of the next two weeks. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I\'m doing the best I can, and by definition, that\'s the best I can do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you find that you are pushing yourself too hard, you might also <strong>ask yourself:</strong> When is enough, enough? Just for this moment, right now, could I focus on nurturing myself? Could I allow myself a break, before I break myself? Might that mean I come back stronger? Might that actually be more efficient in the long run? Could I try that quickly, just as an experiment?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus (the ruler of Libra), currently in </i><b><i>Taurus,</i></b> is helping us see how most struggles in relationships trace back to the relationship we have with ourselves: How worthy we feel, how valuable we think we are (just as we are, without needing to do anything, simply our presence, our being alive).\r\n\r\nThis placement facilitates recognizing that what we seek in our relationships is actually inside of us. It\'s the love that we seek to give and receive, and it starts with giving it to ourselves and being able to receive it from ourselves: All you need is Love!\r\n\r\nI invite you to do another little experiment here: As best as you can, stop for a moment and get as comfortable as possible, wherever you are. Now, simply <strong>ask yourself:</strong> Could I notice how much I dislike myself, to the extent I actually do? And as an experiment, how much could I love myself in this now moment? Simply go back and forth between those questions, alternating them repeatedly for several cycles. End on the \"love\" question... What did you notice as you alternated those questions?\r\n\r\nIf you feel out of tune with the wording of either question, feel free to replace the word \"dislike\" with \"hate\" and the word \"love\" with \"like\" (or whatever words works best for you). Go back and forth, until you feel completely neutral and at peace from within. This is not an exercise for the mind, so it doesn\'t require to understand it or to figure it out. Simply do it, let your heart lead you and see what happens.\r\n\r\nBy the way, those questions are drawn from The Sedona Method -- a technique I use a great deal in my coaching practice -- I love it because it\'s a simple, question-based technique you can learn in less than an hour, then use immediately and for the rest of your life. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">If you\'d like to explore this with me in more depth, feel free to book at a <a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/coaching/\">Coaching/Healing session</a> with me, or upgrade to <a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/superstar-membership/\">SuperStar Membership</a> to receive a FREE 25-minute session once a month.</span>\r\n\r\nTo sum it all up for this Full Moon: as always, double-check whether you are coming from love or fear - and remember that impatience is a manifestation of fear (fear that the timing or pace of things is not \"right\" ;-) For more details on this complex Full Moon <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/category/full-moon/\">click here and watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/fiqadkfHQHU\r\n\r\nI also want to mention that we will go over the upcoming Saturn and Pluto retrograde phases in April, in more detail in the next Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how they will impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. The next Forum will be on <b>Monday, April 2nd</b> at 10am PT/<b>1pm ET</b>/6pm BST (London-time); for more info or to register at the regular fee, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">click here</a>.

Intelligence and communication abilities are strong at this time; however, we may not listen as well as the other speaks -- we might be too busy thinking about what to say next.\r\n\r\nIn general, we have a strong need to take an active role in communications -- it is very hard for us to passively listen and absorb information right now. What we say or write now has impact, so as best as you can, choose your words wisely. If people hung on your every word, what would you say then? What would you hold back from saying?\r\n\r\nOur opinions are usually strong during this time; we like to think independently and are proud of our opinions and our thoughts. For this reason, our egos might get bruised if we are not \"heard\" -- if our opinions are pushed aside, ignored or criticized. </i>\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have different opinions… and that\'s ok. We may be particularly impulsive during this time... but rushing in may not serve us. For those four days, ask yourself: What might happen if I allowed my mind to slow down just 5%?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in </i><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><i>8</i></span><i>-15 degrees of</i> <b><i>Aries,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Libra, Capricorn</i></b><i>, or </i><b><i>Cancer?</i></b> <i>If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo, Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)\r\n</i>\r\n<b>Sunday at 2:29pm EDT</b>, we enter a <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>, that last for 4.5-hours, <b>until 6:57pm EDT</b>. Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday afternoon <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">and early evening</span> ahead of time. (<span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">Moon in Libra opposes Uranus in Aries)</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday at 6:57pm EDT</b>, <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey<b> <strong>until next week, Wednesday very early morning (April 4th).</strong></b><b> </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free.

That said, this is not the best time to make long-term financial investments, unless you had an intuitive vision about something ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 24-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn, </i></b><i>or 0 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>?

Allow your mind to be clear and calm even if life puts up roadblocks or throws curveballs. Simplify daily routines as much as you can.\r\n\r\nWhat if you simply knew that you could handle whatever shows up? Would you rather have your old programming... or more clarity? Would you rather have inner and outer clutter, or inner and outer clarity? Where do you need more information?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in </i><i>5-</i><i>12</i><i> degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Thursday,</b> <em>the Mercury Station ends (at </em><i>14 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b>). <i>Mercury resumes its normal pace through the sky</i> -- but moving backward through the sky, as seen from Earth (that’s what “retrograde” refers to).<i> </i>We have a chance to do some internal work on any thinking and/or communication issues that came up over the last couple of weeks, that were connected to our passions and personal goals.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (March 30th)</strong>: the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <b>Virgo</b><b> until 1:52pm EDT </b>(see Wednesday late morning for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Friday at 12:59am EDT</b>, we enter a <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that last for 13-hours, <b>until 1:52pm EDT</b>. Use this intuitive time to get organized, improve daily routines, and to develop more awareness of how that all fits in with expanding intimate connections with others.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday morning and early afternoon ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Friday at 1:52pm EDT</b>, <i>the Moon moves into relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>, where it will journey<b> </b><b>until Sunday evening.</b><b> </b>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts. This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the Full Moon</i> (exact on Saturday morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 31st)</strong>: <i>the Moon will remain in</i> <i>relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking </i><b>Libra </b><b>all day</b><b> </b>(see Friday afternoon for details).<b>\r\n</b>\r\n<b>Saturday at 12:54am EDT</b>,<b> </b><i>Venus moves from fast-paced, enthusiastic, active </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>into steady, sensual</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where she will journey <b>until April 24th.</b> For the next 3.5 weeks, we love receiving physical pleasures and comforts. Our relationships are centered around delicious foods, wine and sensuality.\r\n\r\n\"Simple and natural\" is key. Our financial issues and dealings are being carefully and lovingly considered, we are not easily persuaded to take risks, we\'d rather spend our money on a massage or a good meal.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel even more attracted to physical pleasures and comfort for the next 3.5 weeks. Your heart will want loyalty and consistency. Connecting to nature or anything simple and organic is going to feels especially comforting. </i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday (March 31st) at 8:37am EDT</b>, <i>the Full Moon in almost 11 degrees of</i> <b>Libra</b> becomes exact. All Full Moons bring an opportunity for awareness and integration of the traits connected to the the Full Moon polarities, especially those that have been neglected or suppressed.\r\n\r\nNow, this particular Full Moon also creates a T-Square with the Mars-Saturn alignment in <b>Capricorn</b>, and occurs in the midst of the Mercury Retrograde phase in <b>Aries, </b>conjunct with the Sun in<b> Aries</b>. So we have some very complex patterns here with this Full Moon and we will address all of them in a moment; <a href=\"https://youtu.be/fiqadkfHQHU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">feel free to also watch my very first Members-Only Full Moon video here</a>\r\n\r\nThe entrance of the Moon into Libra, on Friday early afternoon, started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon</i>;<i> the Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> opposes the Moon</i> <i>in </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>. The<b> Libra-Aries polarity</b> highlights the spiritual dance between self and other, masculine and feminine, independence and collaboration.\r\n\r\n<b>For the next two weeks,</b> we are looking for balance. The balance in question is between ourselves -- symbolized by <b>Aries</b> -- and others (<b>Libra</b>). It\'s important here to realize that relationships (symbolized by <b>Libra</b>) are essential to our existence -- and play a crucial role in defining and reaching our personal goals/desires (represented by <b>Aries</b>).\r\n\r\nWe are also invited to look at the balance of feminine and masculine within ourselves, our relationships, and our world. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Where has this gone out of balance? What happens when there is too much of one or both? Or too little?\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> calls us to look at the roles that “assertion\" and “independence” play in our lives. We\'re called to find ways to develop a healthy sense of self -- total honesty is crucial here, both with ourselves and with others. Allow the higher vibrations of Aries to shine through: courage, openness towards the new, directness, a healthy sense of identity. The spotlight is on us, so why not use it to see clearly, and be seen?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon in </i><b><i>Libra</i></b> emphasizes the need for collaboration: objectivity, consideration, equality, balance, justice, etc. As you can tell, the spotlight swings over to our relationships.\r\n\r\nNow, with <i>Mars (the ruler of Aries) so close to Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> (exact on April 2nd), and <i>Mercury so close to the Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> (exact on April 1st) -- and both of those alignments squaring each other -- we get an opportunity to stretch and grow, big time, within the next two weeks!\r\n\r\n<i>The Mars/Saturn alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> is a new two-year cycle of real-world, long-term physical manifestation. We are getting a chance to make new commitments, especially in the area of life corresponding to this aspect\'s placement in our own birth charts!\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What would a stable foundation for my projects look like? What might a desirable outcome look like? What is something truly responsible I could do (small or large)?\r\n\r\nFor those of you who get the Monthly Forecasting Forum as part of your membership, we\'ll be covering this personal impact in quite some detail next time (on April 2nd)!\r\n\r\n<i>Retrograde Mercury coming together with the Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> represents an opportunity to rethink our desires and realign with what we feel truly passionate about. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Who am I being in my relationships (including the one with me, myself, and I)? What do I communicate to others and myself? And what\'s my communication style? What calls for my awareness and attention when dealing with the apparent other?\r\n\r\nNow let\'s talk about the <i>T-square with Mars and Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> as the focal point</i>: Mars and Saturn squaring the Moon in <b>Libra,</b> and the Sun in <b>Aries</b>.\r\n\r\nThis T-square invites us to check in with our motivations and ambitions connected to long-term goals. We are feeling pulled between our personal desires, our one-on-one relationships with others (personal or business), and our long-term aspirations. Doing what\'s \"right\" is important to us at this time, but it may not always be in alignment with what we truly want for ourselves. Conflict can be a by-product of this challenging aspect, as it creates an internal tension.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> If the world needed something from me, what might that be? Are my ambitions interfering with my ability to connect with others? How can I stay true to myself while taking other people\'s needs into account? What if it were possible for me to take responsibility for my interactions without guilt?\r\n\r\nHere is something I read about, that I wanted to share (with some minor tweaks): A very powerful way of resolving relationship issues, whether past or present, is to resolve the situation within ourselves. In a meditative state, imagine sitting across from someone with whom you have unresolved feelings or issues. Either inwardly or verbally, express what is still in your heart. Allow yourself to say what you have been unable to or afraid to say.\r\n\r\nImagine speaking to <i>their</i> Soul-self, and imagine what their higher Self would say to you in response to what you shared. When that feels done, go back and forth, until you feel a sense of peace and completion. You will know you are finished when your body is fully relaxed and there is nothing left to feel or express but gratitude.\r\n\r\nThe beauty of this is that it doesn’t require the \"other\" to evolve or even be open-hearted -- furthermore, they don\'t even have to be present (or even alive-- we can do this even if they\'ve left the physical plane). Remember, on a soul-level we are pure love; we understand all and everything \"makes sense\". Why not experiment with this practice -- if it resonates, feel free to share your experience on my website via the comments there. Your insight might help somebody else have a breakthrough, and then we all get to experience that within our community and in the world.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go back to that T-square: given the \"<i>empty leg\" of this T-square lands in </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>,</i> we are invited to pay attention to our basic needs: the need for love and acceptance, for control (which sometimes shows up as not wanting to feel out of control), and our need for safety and security. We are reminded to nurture ourselves, especially our feeling body, and to be open to receiving support from familiar, trusted people -- as best as we can, of course.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> How might a commitment to my emotional well-being support me with my long-term goals and my relationships (including the one with myself)? Might nurturing myself help me step outside my comfort zone? If so, what modest daily practice might best provide that nurturing?\r\n\r\nWith so many planets in cardinal signs, we might feel overly active... They will keep us busy for sure -- in fact, it could end up being too much pressure, too many commitments and obligations. As best as you can, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself over the next two weeks. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I\'m doing the best I can, and by definition, that\'s the best I can do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you find that you are pushing yourself too hard, you might also <strong>ask yourself:</strong> When is enough, enough? Just for this moment, right now, could I focus on nurturing myself? Could I allow myself a break, before I break myself? Might that mean I come back stronger? Might that actually be more efficient in the long run? Could I try that quickly, just as an experiment?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus (the ruler of Libra), currently in </i><b><i>Taurus,</i></b> is helping us see how most struggles in relationships trace back to the relationship we have with ourselves: How worthy we feel, how valuable we think we are (just as we are, without needing to do anything, simply our presence, our being alive).\r\n\r\nThis placement facilitates recognizing that what we seek in our relationships is actually inside of us. It\'s the love that we seek to give and receive, and it starts with giving it to ourselves and being able to receive it from ourselves: All you need is Love!\r\n\r\nI invite you to do another little experiment here: As best as you can, stop for a moment and get as comfortable as possible, wherever you are. Now, simply <strong>ask yourself:</strong> Could I notice how much I dislike myself, to the extent I actually do? And as an experiment, how much could I love myself in this now moment? Simply go back and forth between those questions, alternating them repeatedly for several cycles. End on the \"love\" question... What did you notice as you alternated those questions?\r\n\r\nIf you feel out of tune with the wording of either question, feel free to replace the word \"dislike\" with \"hate\" and the word \"love\" with \"like\" (or whatever words works best for you). Go back and forth, until you feel completely neutral and at peace from within. This is not an exercise for the mind, so it doesn\'t require to understand it or to figure it out. As best as you can, let your heart lead you and see what happens.\r\n\r\nBy the way, those questions are drawn from The Sedona Method -- a technique I use a great deal in my coaching practice -- I love it because it\'s a simple, question-based technique you can learn in less than an hour, then use immediately and for the rest of your life.

This aspect indicates a confident mind and an analytical approach to life. Intelligence and communication abilities are strong at this time; however, we may not listen as well as the other speaks -- we might be too busy thinking about what to say next.</i>\r\n\r\nIn general, we have a strong need to take an active role in communications -- it is very hard for us to passively listen and absorb information right now. What we say or write now is impactful, so choose your words as if people hung on every one. If they really, truly did... what would you say then? What might you hold back from saying?\r\n\r\nOur opinions are usually strong during this time; we like to think independently and are proud of our opinions and our thoughts. For this reason, our egos might get bruised if we are not \"heard\" -- if our opinions are pushed aside, ignored or criticized.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have different opinions… and that\'s ok. We may be particularly impulsive during this time... but rushing in may not serve us. For those four days, ask yourself: What might happen if I allowed my mind to slow down by just 5%?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in </i><i>8</i><i>-15 degrees of</i> <b><i>Aries,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Libra, Capricorn</i></b><i>, or </i><b><i>Cancer?</i></b> <i>If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo, Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)\r\n</i>\r\n<b>Sunday at 2:29pm EDT</b>, we enter a <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>, that last for 4.5-hours, <b>until 6:57pm EDT</b>. Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday afternoon and early evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday at 6:57pm EDT</b>, <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey<b> <strong>until next week, Wednesday very early morning (April 4th).</strong></b><b> </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\nAlso, on<strong> Sunday</strong>: Last chance to join my <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-live/\">next Forecasting Forum, </a>live tomorrow, <b>Monday at 1pm EDT</b> (more details at the very bottom of the blog)…\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (April 2nd):</strong> <i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day</b><b> </b>(see Sunday evening for details). <b>Late morning</b>, a<i> </i><i>Mars/Saturn alignment in almost 9 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong> </i><i>becomes exact</i> at 11:44am EDT. <b>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday on, it will be strong until next week, Saturday (April 7th)</b><b>. </b>More about all the details in next week’s forecast ;-)\r\n<h3>One Last Announcement:</h3>\r\nJoin me for my next FORECASTING FORUM, <b>Monday</b>, <b>April 2nd, 2018 at </b>10am<b> </b>PDT/<b> 1pm EDT</b>/6pm BST (London-time).<b> </b>We will be talking about the upcoming<b> Station </b>and<b> Retrograde phases in April: </b>Saturn stations and goes retrograde in 9º of Capricorn, Pluto stations and goes retrograde in 21º of Capricorn -- and Mars (the warrior archetype) will join in as well!\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how to align yourself with these retrograde phases, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation.

This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the Full Moon</i> (exact on Saturday morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 31st)</strong>: <i>the Moon will remain in</i> <i>relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking </i><b>Libra </b><b>all day</b><b> </b>(see Friday afternoon for details).<b>\r\n</b>\r\n<b>Saturday at 12:54am EDT</b>,<b> </b><i>Venus moves from fast-paced, enthusiastic, active </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>into steady, sensual</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where she will journey <b>until April 24th.</b> For the next 3.5 weeks, we love receiving physical pleasures and comforts.

Our financial issues and dealings are being carefully and lovingly considered, we are not easily persuaded to take risks, we\'d rather spend our money on a massage or a good meal.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel even more attracted to physical pleasures and comfort for the next 3.5 weeks. Your heart will want loyalty and consistency. Connecting to nature or anything simple and organic is going to feels especially comforting. </i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday (March 31st) at 8:37am EDT</b>, <i>the Full Moon in almost 11 degrees of</i> <b>Libra</b> becomes exact. All Full Moons bring an opportunity for awareness and integration of the traits connected to the the Full Moon polarities, especially those that have been neglected or suppressed.\r\n\r\nNow, this particular Full Moon also creates a T-Square with the Mars-Saturn alignment in <b>Capricorn</b>, and occurs in the midst of the Mercury Retrograde phase in <b>Aries, </b>conjunct with the Sun in<b> Aries</b>. So we have some very complex patterns here with this Full Moon and we will address all of them in a moment; <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/category/full-moon/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">feel free to also watch my very first Members-Only Full Moon video here</a>: https://youtu.be/fiqadkfHQHU\r\n\r\nThe entrance of the Moon into Libra, on Friday early afternoon, started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon</i>;<i> the Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> opposes the Moon</i> <i>in </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>. The<b> Libra-Aries polarity</b> highlights the spiritual dance between self and other, masculine and feminine, independence and collaboration.\r\n\r\n<b>For the next two weeks,</b> we are looking for balance. The balance in question is between ourselves -- symbolized by <b>Aries</b> -- and others (<b>Libra</b>). It\'s important here to realize that relationships (symbolized by <b>Libra</b>) are essential to our existence -- and play a crucial role in defining and reaching our personal goals/desires (represented by <b>Aries</b>).\r\n\r\nWe are also invited to look at the balance of feminine and masculine within ourselves, our relationships, and our world. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Where has this gone out of balance? What happens when there is too much of one or both? Or too little?\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> call us to look at the roles that “assertion\" and “independence” play in our lives. We\'re called to find ways to develop a healthy sense of self -- total honesty is crucial here, both with ourselves and with others. Allow the higher vibrations of Aries to shine through: courage, openness towards the new, directness, a healthy sense of identity. The spotlight is on us, so why not use it to see clearly, and be seen?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon in </i><b><i>Libra</i></b> emphasizes the need for collaboration: objectivity, consideration, equality, balance, justice, etc. As you can tell, the spotlight swings over to our relationships.\r\n\r\nNow, with <i>Mars (the ruler of Aries) so close to Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> (exact on April 2nd), and <i>Mercury so close to the Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> (exact on April 1st) -- and both of those alignments squaring each other -- we get an opportunity to stretch and grow, big time, within the next two weeks!\r\n\r\n<i>The Mars/Saturn alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> is a new two-year cycle of real world, long-term physical manifestation. We are getting a chance to make new commitments, especially in the area of life corresponding to this aspect\'s placement in our own birth charts!\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What would a stable foundation for my projects look like? What might a desirable outcome look like? What is something truly responsible I could do (small or large)?\r\n\r\nFor those of you who get the Monthly Forecasting Forum as part of your membership, we\'ll be covering this personal impact in quite some detail next time (on April 2nd)!\r\n\r\n<i>Retrograde Mercury coming together with the Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> represents an opportunity to rethink our desires and realign with what we feel truly passionate about. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Who am I being in my relationships (including the one with me, myself, and I)? What do I communicate to others and myself? And what\'s my communication style? What calls for my awareness and attention when dealing with the apparent other?\r\n\r\nNow let\'s talk about the <i>T-square with Mars and Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> as the focal point</i>: Mars and Saturn squaring the Moon in <b>Libra,</b> and the Sun in <b>Aries</b>.\r\n\r\nThis T-square invites us to check in with our motivations and ambitions connected to long-term goals. We are feeling pulled between our personal desires, our one-on-one relationships with others (personal or business), and our long-term aspirations. Doing what\'s \"right\" is important to us at this time, but it may not always be in alignment with what we truly want for ourselves. Conflict can be a by-product of this challenging aspect, as it creates an internal tension.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> If the world needed something from me, what might that be? Are my ambitions interfering with my ability to connect with others? How can I stay true to myself while taking other people\'s needs into account? What if it were possible for me to take responsibility for my interactions without guilt?\r\n\r\nHere is something I read about, that I wanted to share (with some minor tweaks): A very powerful way of resolving relationship issues, whether past or present, is to resolve the situation within ourselves. In a meditative state, imagine sitting across from someone with whom you have unresolved feelings or issues. Either inwardly or verbally, express what is still in your heart. Allow yourself to say what you have been unable to or afraid to say.\r\n\r\nImagine speaking to <i>their</i> Soul-self, and imagine what their higher Self would say to you in response to what you shared. When that feels done, go back and forth, until you feel a sense of peace and completion. You will know you are finished, when your body is fully relaxed, and there is nothing left to feel or express but gratitude.\r\n\r\nThe beauty of this is that it doesn’t require the \"other\" to evolve or even be open-hearted -- furthermore, they don\'t even have to be present (or even alive-- we can do this even if they\'ve left the physical plane). Remember, on a soul-level we are pure love; we understand all and everything \"makes sense\". Why not experiment with this practice -- if it resonates, feel free to share about it on my website via the comments there. Your insight might help somebody else have a breakthrough, and then we all get to experience that within our community and in the world.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go back to that T-square: given the \"<i>empty leg\" of this T-square lands in </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>,</i> we are invited to pay attention to our basic needs: the need for love and acceptance, for control (which sometimes shows up as not wanting to feel out of control), for need for safety and security. We are reminded to nurture ourselves, especially our feeling body, and to be open to receiving support from familiar, trusted people -- as best as we can, of course.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> How might a commitment to my emotional well-being support me with my long-term goals and my relationships (including the one with myself)? Might nurturing myself help me step outside my comfort zone? If so, what modest daily practice might best provide that nurturing?\r\n\r\nWith so many planets in cardinal signs, we might feel overly active.... They will keep us busy for sure, in fact it could end up being too much pressure, too many commitments and obligations. As best as you can, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself of the next two weeks. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I\'m doing the best I can, and by definition, that\'s the best I can do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you find that you are pushing yourself too hard, you might also <strong>ask yourself:</strong> When is enough, enough? Just for this moment, right now, could I focus on nurturing myself? Could I allow myself a break, before I break myself? Might that mean I come back stronger? Might that actually be more efficient in the long run? Could I try that quickly, just as an experiment?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus (the ruler of Libra), currently in </i><b><i>Taurus,</i></b> is helping us see how most struggles in relationships trace back to the relationship we have with ourselves: How worthy we feel, how valuable we think we are (just as we are, without needing to do anything, simply our presence, our being alive).\r\n\r\nThis placement facilitates recognizing that what we seek in our relationships is actually inside of us. It\'s the love that we seek to give and receive, and it starts with giving it to ourselves and being able to receive it from ourselves: All you need is Love!\r\n\r\nI invite you to do another little experiment here: As best as you can, stop for a moment and get as comfortable as possible, wherever you are. Now, simply <strong>ask yourself:</strong> Could I notice how much I dislike myself, to the extent I actually do? And as an experiment, how much could I love myself in this now moment? Simply go back and forth between those questions, alternating them repeatedly for several cycles. End on the \"love\" question... What did you notice as you alternated those questions?\r\n\r\nIf you feel out of tune with the wording of either question, feel free to replace the word \"dislike\" with \"hate\" and the word \"love\" with \"like\" (or whatever words works best for you). Go back and forth, until you feel completely neutral and at peace from within. This is not an exercise for the mind, so it doesn\'t require to understand it or to figure it out. Simply do it, let your heart lead you and see what happens.\r\n\r\nBy the way, those questions are drawn from The Sedona Method -- a technique I use a great deal in my coaching practice -- I love it because it\'s a simple, question-based technique you can learn in less than an hour, then use immediately and for the rest of your life. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">If you\'d like to explore this with me in more depth, feel free to book at a <a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/coaching/\">Coaching/Healing session</a> with me, or upgrade to <a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/superstar-membership/\">SuperStar Membership</a> to receive a FREE 25-minute session once a month.</span>\r\n\r\nTo sum it all up for this Full Moon: as always, double-check whether you are coming from love or fear - and remember that impatience is a manifestation of fear (fear that the timing or pace of things is not \"right\" ;-) For more details on this complex Full Moon <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/category/full-moon/\">click here and watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/fiqadkfHQHU\r\n\r\nI also want to mention that we will go over the upcoming Saturn and Pluto retrograde phases in April, in more detail in the next Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how they will impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. The next Forum will be on <b>Monday, April 2nd</b> at 10am PT/<b>1pm ET</b>/6pm BST (London-time); for more info or to register at the regular fee, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">click here</a>.

What we say or write now has impact, so as best as you can, choose your words wisely. If people hung on your every word, what would you say then? What would you hold back from saying?\r\n\r\nOur opinions are usually strong during this time; we like to think independently and are proud of our opinions and our thoughts. For this reason, our egos might get bruised if we are not \"heard\" -- if our opinions are pushed aside, ignored or criticized.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have different opinions… and that\'s ok. We may be particularly impulsive during this time... but rushing in may not serve us. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">For those four days, ask yourself: What might happen if I allowed my mind to slow down just 5%?</span>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in </i><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><i>8</i></span><i>-15 degrees of</i> <b><i>Aries,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Libra, Capricorn</i></b><i>, or </i><b><i>Cancer?</i></b> <i>If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo, Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)\r\n</i>\r\n<b>Sunday at 2:29pm EDT</b>, we enter a <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>, that last for 4.5-hours, <b>until 6:57pm EDT</b>. Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark?

Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free.

This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the Full Moon</i> (exact on Saturday morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 31st)</strong>: <i>the Moon will remain in</i> <i>relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking </i><b>Libra </b><b>all day</b><b> </b>(see Friday afternoon for details).<b>\r\n</b>\r\n<b>Saturday at 12:54am EDT</b>,<b> </b><i>Venus moves from fast-paced, enthusiastic, active </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>into steady, sensual</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where she will journey <b>until April 24th.</b> For the next 3.5 weeks, we love receiving physical pleasures and comforts.

Our financial issues and dealings are being carefully and lovingly considered, we are not easily persuaded to take risks, we\'d rather spend our money on a massage or a good meal.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel even more attracted to physical pleasures and comfort for the next 3.5 weeks. Your heart will want loyalty and consistency. Connecting to nature or anything simple and organic is going to feels especially comforting. </i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday (March 31st) at 8:37am EDT</b>, <i>the Full Moon in almost 11 degrees of</i> <b>Libra</b> becomes exact. All Full Moons bring an opportunity for awareness and integration of the traits connected to the the Full Moon polarities, especially those that have been neglected or suppressed.\r\n\r\nNow, this particular Full Moon also creates a T-Square with the Mars-Saturn alignment in <b>Capricorn</b>, and occurs in the midst of the Mercury Retrograde phase in <b>Aries, </b>conjunct with the Sun in<b> Aries</b>. So we have some very complex patterns here with this Full Moon and we will address all of them in a moment; <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/category/full-moon/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">feel free to also watch my very first Members-Only Full Moon video here</a>: https://youtu.be/fiqadkfHQHU\r\n\r\nThe entrance of the Moon into Libra, on Friday early afternoon, started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon</i>;<i> the Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> opposes the Moon</i> <i>in </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>. The<b> Libra-Aries polarity</b> highlights the spiritual dance between self and other, masculine and feminine, independence and collaboration.\r\n\r\n<b>For the next two weeks,</b> we are looking for balance. The balance in question is between ourselves -- symbolized by <b>Aries</b> -- and others (<b>Libra</b>). It\'s important here to realize that relationships (symbolized by <b>Libra</b>) are essential to our existence -- and play a crucial role in defining and reaching our personal goals/desires (represented by <b>Aries</b>).\r\n\r\nWe are also invited to look at the balance of feminine and masculine within ourselves, our relationships, and our world. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Where has this gone out of balance? What happens when there is too much of one or both? Or too little?\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> call us to look at the roles that “assertion\" and “independence” play in our lives. We\'re called to find ways to develop a healthy sense of self -- total honesty is crucial here, both with ourselves and with others. Allow the higher vibrations of Aries to shine through: courage, openness towards the new, directness, a healthy sense of identity. The spotlight is on us, so why not use it to see clearly, and be seen?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon in </i><b><i>Libra</i></b> emphasizes the need for collaboration: objectivity, consideration, equality, balance, justice, etc. As you can tell, the spotlight swings over to our relationships.\r\n\r\nNow, with <i>Mars (the ruler of Aries) so close to Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> (exact on April 2nd), and <i>Mercury so close to the Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> (exact on April 1st) -- and both of those alignments squaring each other -- we get an opportunity to stretch and grow, big time, within the next two weeks!\r\n\r\n<i>The Mars/Saturn alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> is a new two-year cycle of real world, long-term physical manifestation. We are getting a chance to make new commitments, especially in the area of life corresponding to this aspect\'s placement in our own birth charts!\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What would a stable foundation for my projects look like? What might a desirable outcome look like? What is something truly responsible I could do (small or large)?\r\n\r\nFor those of you who get the Monthly Forecasting Forum as part of your membership, we\'ll be covering this personal impact in quite some detail next time (on April 2nd)!\r\n\r\n<i>Retrograde Mercury coming together with the Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> represents an opportunity to rethink our desires and realign with what we feel truly passionate about. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Who am I being in my relationships (including the one with me, myself, and I)? What do I communicate to others and myself? And what\'s my communication style? What calls for my awareness and attention when dealing with the apparent other?\r\n\r\nNow let\'s talk about the <i>T-square with Mars and Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> as the focal point</i>: Mars and Saturn squaring the Moon in <b>Libra,</b> and the Sun in <b>Aries</b>.\r\n\r\nThis T-square invites us to check in with our motivations and ambitions connected to long-term goals. We are feeling pulled between our personal desires, our one-on-one relationships with others (personal or business), and our long-term aspirations. Doing what\'s \"right\" is important to us at this time, but it may not always be in alignment with what we truly want for ourselves. Conflict can be a by-product of this challenging aspect, as it creates an internal tension.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> If the world needed something from me, what might that be? Are my ambitions interfering with my ability to connect with others? How can I stay true to myself while taking other people\'s needs into account? What if it were possible for me to take responsibility for my interactions without guilt?\r\n\r\nHere is something I read about, that I wanted to share (with some minor tweaks): A very powerful way of resolving relationship issues, whether past or present, is to resolve the situation within ourselves. In a meditative state, imagine sitting across from someone with whom you have unresolved feelings or issues. Either inwardly or verbally, express what is still in your heart. Allow yourself to say what you have been unable to or afraid to say.\r\n\r\nImagine speaking to <i>their</i> Soul-self, and imagine what their higher Self would say to you in response to what you shared. When that feels done, go back and forth, until you feel a sense of peace and completion. You will know you are finished, when your body is fully relaxed, and there is nothing left to feel or express but gratitude.\r\n\r\nThe beauty of this is that it doesn’t require the \"other\" to evolve or even be open-hearted -- furthermore, they don\'t even have to be present (or even alive-- we can do this even if they\'ve left the physical plane). Remember, on a soul-level we are pure love; we understand all and everything \"makes sense\". Why not experiment with this practice -- if it resonates, feel free to share about it on my website via the comments there. Your insight might help somebody else have a breakthrough, and then we all get to experience that within our community and in the world.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go back to that T-square: given the \"<i>empty leg\" of this T-square lands in </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>,</i> we are invited to pay attention to our basic needs: the need for love and acceptance, for control (which sometimes shows up as not wanting to feel out of control), and our need for safety and security. We are reminded to nurture ourselves, especially our feeling body, and to be open to receiving support from familiar, trusted people -- as best as we can, of course.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> How might a commitment to my emotional well-being support me with my long-term goals and my relationships (including the one with myself)? Might nurturing myself help me step outside my comfort zone? If so, what modest daily practice might best provide that nurturing?\r\n\r\nWith so many planets in cardinal signs, we might feel overly active.... They will keep us busy for sure, in fact it could end up being too much pressure, too many commitments and obligations. As best as you can, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself over the next two weeks. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I\'m doing the best I can, and by definition, that\'s the best I can do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you find that you are pushing yourself too hard, you might also <strong>ask yourself:</strong> When is enough, enough? Just for this moment, right now, could I focus on nurturing myself? Could I allow myself a break, before I break myself? Might that mean I come back stronger? Might that actually be more efficient in the long run? Could I try that quickly, just as an experiment?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus (the ruler of Libra), currently in </i><b><i>Taurus,</i></b> is helping us see how most struggles in relationships trace back to the relationship we have with ourselves: How worthy we feel, how valuable we think we are (just as we are, without needing to do anything, simply our presence, our being alive).\r\n\r\nThis placement facilitates recognizing that what we seek in our relationships is actually inside of us. It\'s the love that we seek to give and receive, and it starts with giving it to ourselves and being able to receive it from ourselves: All you need is Love!\r\n\r\nI invite you to do another little experiment here: As best as you can, stop for a moment and get as comfortable as possible, wherever you are. Now, simply <strong>ask yourself:</strong> Could I notice how much I dislike myself, to the extent I actually do? And as an experiment, how much could I love myself in this now moment? Simply go back and forth between those questions, alternating them repeatedly for several cycles. End on the \"love\" question... What did you notice as you alternated those questions?\r\n\r\nIf you feel out of tune with the wording of either question, feel free to replace the word \"dislike\" with \"hate\" and the word \"love\" with \"like\" (or whatever words works best for you). Go back and forth, until you feel completely neutral and at peace from within. This is not an exercise for the mind, so it doesn\'t require to understand it or to figure it out. As best as you can, let your heart lead you and see what happens.\r\n\r\nBy the way, those questions are drawn from The Sedona Method -- a technique I use a great deal in my coaching practice -- I love it because it\'s a simple, question-based technique you can learn in less than an hour, then use immediately and for the rest of your life. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">If you\'d like to explore this with me in more depth, feel free to book at a <a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/coaching/\">Coaching/Healing session</a> with me, or upgrade to <a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/superstar-membership/\">SuperStar Membership</a> to receive a FREE 25-minute session once a month.</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>To sum it all up for this Full Moon:</strong> as always, double-check whether you are coming from love or fear - and remember that impatience is a manifestation of fear (fear that the timing or pace of things is not \"right\" ;-) For more details on this complex Full Moon <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/category/full-moon/\">click here and watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/fiqadkfHQHU\r\n\r\nI also want to mention that we will go over the upcoming Saturn and Pluto retrograde phases in April, in more detail in the next Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how they will impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. The next Forum will be on <b>Monday, April 2nd</b> at 10am PT/<b>1pm ET</b>/6pm BST (London-time); for more info or to register at the regular fee, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">click here</a>.

Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday afternoon <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">and early evening</span> ahead of time. (<span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">Moon in Libra opposes Uranus in Aries)</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday at 6:57pm EDT</b>, <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey<b> <strong>until next week, Wednesday very early morning (April 4th).</strong></b><b> </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\nAlso, on<strong> Sunday</strong>: Last chance to join my <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-live/\">next Forecasting Forum, </a>live tomorrow, <b>Monday at 1pm EDT</b> (more details at the very bottom of the blog)…\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (April 2nd):</strong> <i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day</b><b> </b>(see Sunday evening for details). <b>Late morning</b>, a<i> </i><i>Mars/Saturn alignment in almost 9 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong> </i><i>becomes exact</i> at 11:44am EDT. <b>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday on, it will be strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">next week,</span> Saturday (April 7th)</b><b>. </b>More about all the details in next week’s forecast ;-)\r\n<h3>One Last Announcement:</h3>\r\nJoin me for my next FORECASTING FORUM, <b>Monday</b>, <b>April 2nd, 2018 at </b>10am<b> </b>PDT/<b> 1pm EDT</b>/6pm BST (London-time).<b> Please note </b>that we will be talking about the upcoming<b> Station </b>and<b> Retrograde phases in April: </b>Saturn stations and goes retrograde in 9º of Capricorn, Pluto stations and goes retrograde in 21º of Capricorn.

As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts. This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the Full Moon</i> (exact on Saturday morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 31st)</strong>: <i>the Moon will remain in</i> <i>relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking </i><b>Libra </b><b>all day</b><b> </b>(see Friday afternoon for details).<b>\r\n</b>\r\n<b>Saturday at 12:54am EDT</b>,<b> </b><i>Venus moves from fast-paced, enthusiastic, active </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>into steady, sensual</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where she will journey <b>until April 24th.</b> For the next 3.5 weeks, we love receiving physical pleasures and comforts. Our relationships are centered around delicious foods, wine and sensuality.\r\n\r\n\"Simple and natural\" is key. Our financial issues and dealings are being carefully and lovingly considered, we are not easily persuaded to take risks, we\'d rather spend our money on a massage or a good meal.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel even more attracted to physical pleasures and comfort for the next 3.5 weeks. Your heart will want loyalty and consistency. Connecting to nature or anything simple and organic is going to feels especially comforting. </i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday (March 31st) at 8:37am EDT</b>, <i>the Full Moon in almost 11 degrees of</i> <b>Libra</b> becomes exact. All Full Moons bring an opportunity for awareness and integration of the traits connected to the the Full Moon polarities, especially those that have been neglected or suppressed.\r\n\r\nNow, this particular Full Moon also creates a T-Square with the Mars-Saturn alignment in <b>Capricorn</b>, and occurs in the midst of the Mercury Retrograde phase in <b>Aries, </b>conjunct with the Sun in<b> Aries</b>. So we have some very complex patterns here with this Full Moon and we will address all of them in a moment; <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/category/full-moon/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">feel free to also watch my very first Members-Only Full Moon video here</a>: https://youtu.be/fiqadkfHQHU\r\n\r\nThe entrance of the Moon into Libra, on Friday early afternoon, started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon</i>;<i> the Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> opposes the Moon</i> <i>in </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>. The<b> Libra-Aries polarity</b> highlights the spiritual dance between self and other, masculine and feminine, independence and collaboration.\r\n\r\n<b>For the next two weeks,</b> we are looking for balance. The balance in question is between ourselves -- symbolized by <b>Aries</b> -- and others (<b>Libra</b>). It\'s important here to realize that relationships (symbolized by <b>Libra</b>) are essential to our existence -- and play a crucial role in defining and reaching our personal goals/desires (represented by <b>Aries</b>).\r\n\r\nWe are also invited to look at the balance of feminine and masculine within ourselves, our relationships, and our world. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Where has this gone out of balance? What happens when there is too much of one or both? Or too little?\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> call us to look at the roles that “assertion\" and “independence” play in our lives. We\'re called to find ways to develop a healthy sense of self -- total honesty is crucial here, both with ourselves and with others. Allow the higher vibrations of Aries to shine through: courage, openness towards the new, directness, a healthy sense of identity. The spotlight is on us, so why not use it to see clearly, and be seen?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon in </i><b><i>Libra</i></b> emphasizes the need for collaboration: objectivity, consideration, equality, balance, justice, etc. As you can tell, the spotlight swings over to our relationships.\r\n\r\nNow, with <i>Mars (the ruler of Aries) so close to Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> (exact on April 2nd), and <i>Mercury so close to the Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> (exact on April 1st) -- and both of those alignments squaring each other -- we get an opportunity to stretch and grow, big time, within the next two weeks!\r\n\r\n<i>The Mars/Saturn alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> is a new two-year cycle of real world, long-term physical manifestation. We are getting a chance to make new commitments, especially in the area of life corresponding to this aspect\'s placement in our own birth charts!\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What would a stable foundation for my projects look like? What might a desirable outcome look like? What is something truly responsible I could do (small or large)?\r\n\r\nFor those of you who get the Monthly Forecasting Forum as part of your membership, we\'ll be covering this personal impact in quite some detail next time (on April 2nd)!\r\n\r\n<i>Retrograde Mercury coming together with the Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> represents an opportunity to rethink our desires and realign with what we feel truly passionate about. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Who am I being in my relationships (including the one with me, myself, and I)? What do I communicate to others and myself? And what\'s my communication style? What calls for my awareness and attention when dealing with the apparent other?\r\n\r\nNow let\'s talk about the <i>T-square with Mars and Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> as the focal point</i>: Mars and Saturn squaring the Moon in <b>Libra,</b> and the Sun in <b>Aries</b>.\r\n\r\nThis T-square invites us to check in with our motivations and ambitions connected to long-term goals. We are feeling pulled between our personal desires, our one-on-one relationships with others (personal or business), and our long-term aspirations. Doing what\'s \"right\" is important to us at this time, but it may not always be in alignment with what we truly want for ourselves. Conflict can be a by-product of this challenging aspect, as it creates an internal tension.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> If the world needed something from me, what might that be? Are my ambitions interfering with my ability to connect with others? How can I stay true to myself while taking other people\'s needs into account? What if it were possible for me to take responsibility for my interactions without guilt?\r\n\r\nHere is something I read about, that I wanted to share (with some minor tweaks): A very powerful way of resolving relationship issues, whether past or present, is to resolve the situation within ourselves. In a meditative state, imagine sitting across from someone with whom you have unresolved feelings or issues. Either inwardly or verbally, express what is still in your heart. Allow yourself to say what you have been unable to or afraid to say.\r\n\r\nImagine speaking to <i>their</i> Soul-self, and imagine what their higher Self would say to you in response to what you shared. When that feels done, go back and forth, until you feel a sense of peace and completion. You will know you are finished, when your body is fully relaxed, and there is nothing left to feel or express but gratitude.\r\n\r\nThe beauty of this is that it doesn’t require the \"other\" to evolve or even be open-hearted -- furthermore, they don\'t even have to be present (or even alive-- we can do this even if they\'ve left the physical plane). Remember, on a soul-level we are pure love; we understand all and everything \"makes sense\". Why not experiment with this practice -- if it resonates, feel free to share about it on my website via the comments there. Your insight might help somebody else have a breakthrough, and then we all get to experience that within our community and in the world.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go back to that T-square: given the \"<i>empty leg\" of this T-square lands in </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>,</i> we are invited to pay attention to our basic needs: the need for love and acceptance, for control (which sometimes shows up as not wanting to feel out of control), and our need for safety and security. We are reminded to nurture ourselves, especially our feeling body, and to be open to receiving support from familiar, trusted people -- as best as we can, of course.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> How might a commitment to my emotional well-being support me with my long-term goals and my relationships (including the one with myself)? Might nurturing myself help me step outside my comfort zone? If so, what modest daily practice might best provide that nurturing?\r\n\r\nWith so many planets in cardinal signs, we might feel overly active.... They will keep us busy for sure, in fact it could end up being too much pressure, too many commitments and obligations. As best as you can, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself over the next two weeks. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I\'m doing the best I can, and by definition, that\'s the best I can do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you find that you are pushing yourself too hard, you might also <strong>ask yourself:</strong> When is enough, enough? Just for this moment, right now, could I focus on nurturing myself? Could I allow myself a break, before I break myself? Might that mean I come back stronger? Might that actually be more efficient in the long run? Could I try that quickly, just as an experiment?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus (the ruler of Libra), currently in </i><b><i>Taurus,</i></b> is helping us see how most struggles in relationships trace back to the relationship we have with ourselves: How worthy we feel, how valuable we think we are (just as we are, without needing to do anything, simply our presence, our being alive).\r\n\r\nThis placement facilitates recognizing that what we seek in our relationships is actually inside of us. It\'s the love that we seek to give and receive, and it starts with giving it to ourselves and being able to receive it from ourselves: All you need is Love!\r\n\r\nI invite you to do another little experiment here: As best as you can, stop for a moment and get as comfortable as possible, wherever you are. Now, simply <strong>ask yourself:</strong> Could I notice how much I dislike myself, to the extent I actually do? And as an experiment, how much could I love myself in this now moment? Simply go back and forth between those questions, alternating them repeatedly for several cycles. End on the \"love\" question... What did you notice as you alternated those questions?\r\n\r\nIf you feel out of tune with the wording of either question, feel free to replace the word \"dislike\" with \"hate\" and the word \"love\" with \"like\" (or whatever words works best for you). Go back and forth, until you feel completely neutral and at peace from within. This is not an exercise for the mind, so it doesn\'t require to understand it or to figure it out. As best as you can, let your heart lead you and see what happens.\r\n\r\nBy the way, those questions are drawn from The Sedona Method -- a technique I use a great deal in my coaching practice -- I love it because it\'s a simple, question-based technique you can learn in less than an hour, then use immediately and for the rest of your life. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">If you\'d like to explore this with me in more depth, feel free to book at a <a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/coaching/\">Coaching/Healing session</a> with me, or upgrade to <a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/superstar-membership/\">SuperStar Membership</a> to receive a FREE 25-minute session once a month.</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>To sum it all up for this Full Moon:</strong> as always, double-check whether you are coming from love or fear - and remember that impatience is a manifestation of fear (fear that the timing or pace of things is not \"right\" ;-) For more details on this complex Full Moon <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/category/full-moon/\">click here and watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/fiqadkfHQHU\r\n\r\nI also want to mention that we will go over the upcoming Saturn and Pluto retrograde phases in April, in more detail in the next Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how they will impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. The next Forum will be on <b>Monday, April 2nd</b> at 10am PT/<b>1pm ET</b>/6pm BST (London-time); for more info or to register at the regular fee, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">click here</a>.

What we say or write now has impact, so as best as you can, choose your words wisely. If people hung on your every word, what would you say then? What would you hold back from saying?\r\n\r\nOur opinions are usually strong during this time; we like to think independently and are proud of our opinions and our thoughts. For this reason, our egos might get bruised if we are not \"heard\" -- if our opinions are pushed aside, ignored or criticized.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have different opinions… and that\'s ok. We may be particularly impulsive during this time... but rushing in may not serve us. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">For those four days, ask yourself: What might happen if I allowed my mind to slow down just 5%?</span>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in </i><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><i>8</i></span><i>-15 degrees of</i> <b><i>Aries,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Libra, Capricorn</i></b><i>, or </i><b><i>Cancer?</i></b> <i>If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo, Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)\r\n</i>\r\n<b>Sunday at 2:29pm EDT</b>, we enter a <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>, that last for 4.5-hours, <b>until 6:57pm EDT</b>. Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday afternoon <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">and early evening</span> ahead of time. (<span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">Moon in Libra opposes Uranus in Aries)</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday at 6:57pm EDT</b>, <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey<b> <strong>until next week, Wednesday very early morning (April 4th).</strong></b><b> </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\nAlso, on<strong> Sunday</strong>: Last chance to join my <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-live/\">next Forecasting Forum, </a>live tomorrow, <b>Monday at 1pm EDT</b> (more details at the very bottom of the blog)…\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (April 2nd):</strong> <i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day</b><b> </b>(see Sunday evening for details). <b>Late morning</b>, a<i> </i><i>Mars/Saturn alignment in almost 9 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong> </i><i>becomes exact</i> at 11:44am EDT. <b>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday on, it will be strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">next week,</span> Saturday (April 7th)</b><b>. </b>More about all the details in next week’s forecast ;-)\r\n<h3>One Last Announcement:</h3>\r\nJoin me for my next FORECASTING FORUM, <b>Monday</b>, <b>April 2nd, 2018 at </b>10am<b> </b>PDT/<b> 1pm EDT</b>/6pm BST (London-time).<b> Please note </b>that we will be talking about the upcoming<b> Station </b>and<b> Retrograde phases in April: </b>Saturn stations and goes retrograde in 9º of Capricorn, Pluto stations and goes retrograde in 21º of Capricorn.

So we have some very complex patterns here with this Full Moon and we will address all of them in a moment; <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/category/full-moon/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">feel free to also watch my very first Members-Only Full Moon video here</a>: https://youtu.be/fiqadkfHQHU\r\n\r\nThe entrance of the Moon into Libra, on Friday early afternoon, started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon</i>;<i> the Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> opposes the Moon</i> <i>in </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>. The<b> Libra-Aries polarity</b> highlights the spiritual dance between self and other, masculine and feminine, independence and collaboration.\r\n\r\n<b>For the next two weeks,</b> we are looking for balance. The balance in question is between ourselves -- symbolized by <b>Aries</b> -- and others (<b>Libra</b>). It\'s important here to realize that relationships (symbolized by <b>Libra</b>) are essential to our existence -- and play a crucial role in defining and reaching our personal goals/desires (represented by <b>Aries</b>).\r\n\r\nWe are also invited to look at the balance of feminine and masculine within ourselves, our relationships, and our world. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Where has this gone out of balance? What happens when there is too much of one or both? Or too little?\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> call us to look at the roles that “assertion\" and “independence” play in our lives. We\'re called to find ways to develop a healthy sense of self -- total honesty is crucial here, both with ourselves and with others. Allow the higher vibrations of Aries to shine through: courage, openness towards the new, directness, a healthy sense of identity. The spotlight is on us, so why not use it to see clearly, and be seen?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon in </i><b><i>Libra</i></b> emphasizes the need for collaboration: objectivity, consideration, equality, balance, justice, etc. As you can tell, the spotlight swings over to our relationships.\r\n\r\nNow, with <i>Mars (the ruler of Aries) so close to Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> (exact on April 2nd), and <i>Mercury so close to the Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> (exact on April 1st) -- and both of those alignments squaring each other -- we get an opportunity to stretch and grow, big time, within the next two weeks!\r\n\r\n<i>The Mars/Saturn alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> is a new two-year cycle of real world, long-term physical manifestation. We are getting a chance to make new commitments, especially in the area of life corresponding to this aspect\'s placement in our own birth charts!\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What would a stable foundation for my projects look like? What might a desirable outcome look like? What is something truly responsible I could do (small or large)?\r\n\r\nFor those of you who get the Monthly Forecasting Forum as part of your membership, we\'ll be covering this personal impact in quite some detail next time (on April 2nd)!\r\n\r\n<i>Retrograde Mercury coming together with the Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> represents an opportunity to rethink our desires and realign with what we feel truly passionate about. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Who am I being in my relationships (including the one with me, myself, and I)? What do I communicate to others and myself? And what\'s my communication style? What calls for my awareness and attention when dealing with the apparent other?\r\n\r\nNow let\'s talk about the <i>T-square with Mars and Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> as the focal point</i>: Mars and Saturn squaring the Moon in <b>Libra,</b> and the Sun in <b>Aries</b>.\r\n\r\nThis T-square invites us to check in with our motivations and ambitions connected to long-term goals. We are feeling pulled between our personal desires, our one-on-one relationships with others (personal or business), and our long-term aspirations. Doing what\'s \"right\" is important to us at this time, but it may not always be in alignment with what we truly want for ourselves. Conflict can be a by-product of this challenging aspect, as it creates an internal tension.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> If the world needed something from me, what might that be? Are my ambitions interfering with my ability to connect with others? How can I stay true to myself while taking other people\'s needs into account? What if it were possible for me to take responsibility for my interactions without guilt?\r\n\r\nHere is something I read about, that I wanted to share (with some minor tweaks): A very powerful way of resolving relationship issues, whether past or present, is to resolve the situation within ourselves. In a meditative state, imagine sitting across from someone with whom you have unresolved feelings or issues. Either inwardly or verbally, express what is still in your heart. Allow yourself to say what you have been unable to or afraid to say.\r\n\r\nImagine speaking to <i>their</i> Soul-self, and imagine what their higher Self would say to you in response to what you shared. When that feels done, go back and forth, until you feel a sense of peace and completion. You will know you are finished, when your body is fully relaxed, and there is nothing left to feel or express but gratitude.\r\n\r\nThe beauty of this is that it doesn’t require the \"other\" to evolve or even be open-hearted -- furthermore, they don\'t even have to be present (or even alive-- we can do this even if they\'ve left the physical plane). Remember, on a soul-level we are pure love; we understand all and everything \"makes sense\". Why not experiment with this practice -- if it resonates, feel free to share about it on my website via the comments there. Your insight might help somebody else have a breakthrough, and then we all get to experience that within our community and in the world.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go back to that T-square: given the \"<i>empty leg\" of this T-square lands in </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>,</i> we are invited to pay attention to our basic needs: the need for love and acceptance, for control (which sometimes shows up as not wanting to feel out of control), and our need for safety and security. We are reminded to nurture ourselves, especially our feeling body, and to be open to receiving support from familiar, trusted people -- as best as we can, of course.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> How might a commitment to my emotional well-being support me with my long-term goals and my relationships (including the one with myself)? Might nurturing myself help me step outside my comfort zone? If so, what modest daily practice might best provide that nurturing?\r\n\r\nWith so many planets in cardinal signs, we might feel overly active.... They will keep us busy for sure, in fact it could end up being too much pressure, too many commitments and obligations. As best as you can, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself over the next two weeks. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I\'m doing the best I can, and by definition, that\'s the best I can do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you find that you are pushing yourself too hard, you might also <strong>ask yourself:</strong> When is enough, enough? Just for this moment, right now, could I focus on nurturing myself? Could I allow myself a break, before I break myself? Might that mean I come back stronger? Might that actually be more efficient in the long run? Could I try that quickly, just as an experiment?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus (the ruler of Libra), currently in </i><b><i>Taurus,</i></b> is helping us see how most struggles in relationships trace back to the relationship we have with ourselves: How worthy we feel, how valuable we think we are (just as we are, without needing to do anything, simply our presence, our being alive).\r\n\r\nThis placement facilitates recognizing that what we seek in our relationships is actually inside of us. It\'s the love that we seek to give and receive, and it starts with giving it to ourselves and being able to receive it from ourselves: All you need is Love!\r\n\r\nI invite you to do another little experiment here: As best as you can, stop for a moment and get as comfortable as possible, wherever you are. Now, simply <strong>ask yourself:</strong> Could I notice how much I dislike myself, to the extent I actually do? And as an experiment, how much could I love myself in this now moment? Simply go back and forth between those questions, alternating them repeatedly for several cycles. End on the \"love\" question... What did you notice as you alternated those questions?\r\n\r\nIf you feel out of tune with the wording of either question, feel free to replace the word \"dislike\" with \"hate\" and the word \"love\" with \"like\" (or whatever words works best for you). Go back and forth, until you feel completely neutral and at peace from within. This is not an exercise for the mind, so it doesn\'t require to understand it or to figure it out. As best as you can, let your heart lead you and see what happens.\r\n\r\nBy the way, those questions are drawn from The Sedona Method -- a technique I use a great deal in my coaching practice -- I love it because it\'s a simple, question-based technique you can learn in less than an hour, then use immediately and for the rest of your life. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">If you\'d like to explore this with me in more depth, feel free to book at a <a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/coaching/\">Coaching/Healing session</a> with me, or upgrade to <a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/superstar-membership/\">SuperStar Membership</a> to receive a FREE 25-minute session once a month.</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>To sum it all up for this Full Moon:</strong> as always, double-check whether you are coming from love or fear - and remember that impatience is a manifestation of fear (fear that the timing or pace of things is not \"right\" ;-) For more details on this complex Full Moon <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/category/full-moon/\">click here and watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/fiqadkfHQHU\r\n\r\nI also want to mention that we will go over the upcoming Saturn and Pluto retrograde phases in April, in more detail in the next Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how they will impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. The next Forum will be on <b>Monday, April 2nd</b> at 10am PT/<b>1pm ET</b>/6pm BST (London-time); for more info or to register at the regular fee, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">click here</a>.

This aspect indicates a confident mind and an analytical approach to life. Intelligence and communication abilities are strong at this time; however, we may not listen as well as the other speaks -- we might be too busy thinking about what to say next.</i>\r\n\r\nIn general, we have a strong need to take an active role in communications -- it is very hard for us to passively listen and absorb information right now. What we say or write now has impact, so as best as you can, choose your words wisely. If people hung on your every word, what would you say then? What would you hold back from saying?\r\n\r\nOur opinions are usually strong during this time; we like to think independently and are proud of our opinions and our thoughts. For this reason, our egos might get bruised if we are not \"heard\" -- if our opinions are pushed aside, ignored or criticized.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have different opinions… and that\'s ok. We may be particularly impulsive during this time... but rushing in may not serve us. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">For those four days, ask yourself: What might happen if I allowed my mind to slow down just 5%?</span>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in </i><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><i>8</i></span><i>-15 degrees of</i> <b><i>Aries,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Libra, Capricorn</i></b><i>, or </i><b><i>Cancer?</i></b> <i>If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo, Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)\r\n</i>\r\n<b>Sunday at 2:29pm EDT</b>, we enter a <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>, that last for 4.5-hours, <b>until 6:57pm EDT</b>. Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday afternoon <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">and early evening</span> ahead of time. (<span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">Moon in Libra opposes Uranus in Aries)</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday at 6:57pm EDT</b>, <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey<b> <strong>until next week, Wednesday very early morning (April 4th).</strong></b><b> </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\nAlso, on<strong> Sunday</strong>: Last chance to join my <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-live/\">next Forecasting Forum, </a>live tomorrow, <b>Monday at 1pm EDT</b> (more details at the very bottom of the blog)…\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (April 2nd):</strong> <i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day</b><b> </b>(see Sunday evening for details). <b>Late morning</b>, a<i> </i><i>Mars/Saturn alignment in almost 9 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong> </i><i>becomes exact</i> at 11:44am EDT. <b>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday on, it will be strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">next week,</span> Saturday (April 7th)</b><b>. </b>More about all the details in next week’s forecast ;-)\r\n<h3>One Last Announcement:</h3>\r\nJoin me for my next FORECASTING FORUM, <b>Monday</b>, <b>April 2nd, 2018 at </b>10am<b> </b>PDT/<b> 1pm EDT</b>/6pm BST (London-time).<b> Please note </b>that we will be talking about the upcoming<b> Station </b>and<b> Retrograde phases in April: </b>Saturn stations and goes retrograde in 9º of Capricorn, Pluto stations and goes retrograde in 21º of Capricorn.

It\'s important here to realize that relationships (symbolized by <b>Libra</b>) are essential to our existence -- and play a crucial role in defining and reaching our personal goals/desires (represented by <b>Aries</b>).\r\n\r\nWe are also invited to look at the balance of feminine and masculine within ourselves, our relationships, and our world. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Where has this gone out of balance? What happens when there is too much of one or both? Or too little?\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> call us to look at the roles that “assertion\" and “independence” play in our lives. We\'re called to find ways to develop a healthy sense of self -- total honesty is crucial here, both with ourselves and with others. Allow the higher vibrations of Aries to shine through: courage, openness towards the new, directness, a healthy sense of identity. The spotlight is on us, so why not use it to see clearly, and be seen?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon in </i><b><i>Libra</i></b> emphasizes the need for collaboration: objectivity, consideration, equality, balance, justice, etc. As you can tell, the spotlight swings over to our relationships.\r\n\r\nNow, with <i>Mars (the ruler of Aries) so close to Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> (exact on April 2nd), and <i>Mercury so close to the Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> (exact on April 1st) -- and both of those alignments squaring each other -- we get an opportunity to stretch and grow, big time, within the next two weeks!\r\n\r\n<i>The Mars/Saturn alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> is a new two-year cycle of real world, long-term physical manifestation. We are getting a chance to make new commitments, especially in the area of life corresponding to this aspect\'s placement in our own birth charts!\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What would a stable foundation for my projects look like? What might a desirable outcome look like? What is something truly responsible I could do (small or large)?\r\n\r\nFor those of you who get the Monthly Forecasting Forum as part of your membership, we\'ll be covering this personal impact in quite some detail next time (on April 2nd)!\r\n\r\n<i>Retrograde Mercury coming together with the Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> represents an opportunity to rethink our desires and realign with what we feel truly passionate about. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Who am I being in my relationships (including the one with me, myself, and I)? What do I communicate to others and myself? And what\'s my communication style? What calls for my awareness and attention when dealing with the apparent other?\r\n\r\nNow let\'s talk about the <i>T-square with Mars and Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> as the focal point</i>: Mars and Saturn squaring the Moon in <b>Libra,</b> and the Sun in <b>Aries</b>.\r\n\r\nThis T-square invites us to check in with our motivations and ambitions connected to long-term goals. We are feeling pulled between our personal desires, our one-on-one relationships with others (personal or business), and our long-term aspirations. Doing what\'s \"right\" is important to us at this time, but it may not always be in alignment with what we truly want for ourselves. Conflict can be a by-product of this challenging aspect, as it creates an internal tension.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> If the world needed something from me, what might that be? Are my ambitions interfering with my ability to connect with others? How can I stay true to myself while taking other people\'s needs into account? What if it were possible for me to take responsibility for my interactions without guilt?\r\n\r\nHere is something I read about, that I wanted to share (with some minor tweaks): A very powerful way of resolving relationship issues, whether past or present, is to resolve the situation within ourselves. In a meditative state, imagine sitting across from someone with whom you have unresolved feelings or issues. Either inwardly or verbally, express what is still in your heart. Allow yourself to say what you have been unable to or afraid to say.\r\n\r\nImagine speaking to <i>their</i> Soul-self, and imagine what their higher Self would say to you in response to what you shared. When that feels done, go back and forth, until you feel a sense of peace and completion. You will know you are finished, when your body is fully relaxed, and there is nothing left to feel or express but gratitude.\r\n\r\nThe beauty of this is that it doesn’t require the \"other\" to evolve or even be open-hearted -- furthermore, they don\'t even have to be present (or even alive-- we can do this even if they\'ve left the physical plane). Remember, on a soul-level we are pure love; we understand all and everything \"makes sense\". Why not experiment with this practice -- if it resonates, feel free to share about it on my website via the comments there. Your insight might help somebody else have a breakthrough, and then we all get to experience that within our community and in the world.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go back to that T-square: given the \"<i>empty leg\" of this T-square lands in </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>,</i> we are invited to pay attention to our basic needs: the need for love and acceptance, for control (which sometimes shows up as not wanting to feel out of control), and our need for safety and security. We are reminded to nurture ourselves, especially our feeling body, and to be open to receiving support from familiar, trusted people -- as best as we can, of course.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> How might a commitment to my emotional well-being support me with my long-term goals and my relationships (including the one with myself)? Might nurturing myself help me step outside my comfort zone? If so, what modest daily practice might best provide that nurturing?\r\n\r\nWith so many planets in cardinal signs, we might feel overly active.... They will keep us busy for sure, in fact it could end up being too much pressure, too many commitments and obligations. As best as you can, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself over the next two weeks. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I\'m doing the best I can, and by definition, that\'s the best I can do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you find that you are pushing yourself too hard, you might also <strong>ask yourself:</strong> When is enough, enough? Just for this moment, right now, could I focus on nurturing myself? Could I allow myself a break, before I break myself? Might that mean I come back stronger? Might that actually be more efficient in the long run? Could I try that quickly, just as an experiment?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus (the ruler of Libra), currently in </i><b><i>Taurus,</i></b> is helping us see how most struggles in relationships trace back to the relationship we have with ourselves: How worthy we feel, how valuable we think we are (just as we are, without needing to do anything, simply our presence, our being alive).\r\n\r\nThis placement facilitates recognizing that what we seek in our relationships is actually inside of us. It\'s the love that we seek to give and receive, and it starts with giving it to ourselves and being able to receive it from ourselves: All you need is Love!\r\n\r\nI invite you to do another little experiment here: As best as you can, stop for a moment and get as comfortable as possible, wherever you are. Now, simply <strong>ask yourself:</strong> Could I notice how much I dislike myself, to the extent I actually do? And as an experiment, how much could I love myself in this now moment? Simply go back and forth between those questions, alternating them repeatedly for several cycles. End on the \"love\" question... What did you notice as you alternated those questions?\r\n\r\nIf you feel out of tune with the wording of either question, feel free to replace the word \"dislike\" with \"hate\" and the word \"love\" with \"like\" (or whatever words works best for you). Go back and forth, until you feel completely neutral and at peace from within. This is not an exercise for the mind, so it doesn\'t require to understand it or to figure it out. As best as you can, let your heart lead you and see what happens.\r\n\r\nBy the way, those questions are drawn from The Sedona Method -- a technique I use a great deal in my coaching practice -- I love it because it\'s a simple, question-based technique you can learn in less than an hour, then use immediately and for the rest of your life. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">If you\'d like to explore this with me in more depth, feel free to book at a <a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/coaching/\">Coaching/Healing session</a> with me, or upgrade to <a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/superstar-membership/\">SuperStar Membership</a> to receive a FREE 25-minute session once a month.</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>To sum it all up for this Full Moon:</strong> as always, double-check whether you are coming from love or fear - and remember that impatience is a manifestation of fear (fear that the timing or pace of things is not \"right\" ;-) For more details on this complex Full Moon <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/category/full-moon/\">click here and watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/fiqadkfHQHU\r\n\r\nI also want to mention that we will go over the upcoming Saturn and Pluto retrograde phases in April, in more detail in the next Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how they will impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. The next Forum will be on <b>Monday, April 2nd</b> at 10am PT/<b>1pm ET</b>/6pm BST (London-time); for more info or to register at the regular fee, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">click here</a>.

If so, you may feel the effects of this Full Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (April 1st)</strong>: <i>the Moon will remain in </i><i>relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i> </i><b><i>until 6:57pm EDT</i></b><i> (see Friday afternoon for details).</i>\r\n\r\n<b><i>Sunday afternoon</i></b><i>, a Sun/Mercury</i><i> </i><i>alignment</i><i> </i><i>in 11.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> becomes exact </i><i>at 1:53pm EDT</i><i>. </i><b><i>We started to feel this aspect build from </i></b><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><b><i>Friday</i></b><b><i> (March </i></b><b><i>30th)</i></b></span><b><i><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> on,</span> it will will be strong until </i></b><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><b><i>next week Tuesday (April 3rd).</i></b></span><b><i> </i></b><i>When the Sun and Mercury come together, we are especially sharp, communicative, and open. This aspect indicates a confident mind and an analytical approach to life. Intelligence and communication abilities are strong at this time; however, we may not listen as well as the other speaks -- we might be too busy thinking about what to say next.</i>\r\n\r\nIn general, we have a strong need to take an active role in communications -- it is very hard for us to passively listen and absorb information right now. What we say or write now has impact, so as best as you can, choose your words wisely. If people hung on your every word, what would you say then? What would you hold back from saying?\r\n\r\nOur opinions are usually strong during this time; we like to think independently and are proud of our opinions and our thoughts. For this reason, our egos might get bruised if we are not \"heard\" -- if our opinions are pushed aside, ignored or criticized.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have different opinions… and that\'s ok. We may be particularly impulsive during this time... but rushing in may not serve us. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">For those four days, ask yourself: What might happen if I allowed my mind to slow down just 5%?</span>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in </i><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><i>8</i></span><i>-15 degrees of</i> <b><i>Aries,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Libra, Capricorn</i></b><i>, or </i><b><i>Cancer?</i></b> <i>If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo, Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)\r\n</i>\r\n<b>Sunday at 2:29pm EDT</b>, we enter a <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>, that last for 4.5-hours, <b>until 6:57pm EDT</b>. Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday afternoon <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">and early evening</span> ahead of time. (<span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">Moon in Libra opposes Uranus in Aries)</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday at 6:57pm EDT</b>, <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey<b> <strong>until next week, Wednesday very early morning (April 4th).</strong></b><b> </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\nAlso, on<strong> Sunday</strong>: Last chance to join my <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-live/\">next Forecasting Forum, </a>live tomorrow, <b>Monday at 1pm EDT</b> (more details at the very bottom of the blog)…\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (April 2nd):</strong> <i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day</b><b> </b>(see Sunday evening for details). <b>Late morning</b>, a<i> </i><i>Mars/Saturn alignment in almost 9 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong> </i><i>becomes exact</i> at 11:44am EDT. <b>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday on, it will be strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">next week,</span> Saturday (April 7th)</b><b>. </b>More about all the details in next week’s forecast ;-)\r\n<h3>One Last Announcement:</h3>\r\nJoin me for my next FORECASTING FORUM, <b>Monday</b>, <b>April 2nd, 2018 at </b>10am<b> </b>PDT/<b> 1pm EDT</b>/6pm BST (London-time).<b> Please note </b>that we will be talking about the upcoming<b> Station </b>and<b> Retrograde phases in April: </b>Saturn stations and goes retrograde in 9º of Capricorn, Pluto stations and goes retrograde in 21º of Capricorn.

Would you rather have inner and outer clutter, or inner and outer clarity? Where do you need more information?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in </i><i><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">5</span>-</i><i>12</i><i> degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Thursday,</b> <em>the Mercury Station ends (at </em><i>14 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b>). <i>Mercury resumes its normal pace through the sky</i> -- but moving backward through the sky, as seen from Earth (that’s what “retrograde” refers to).<i> </i>We have a chance to do some internal work on any thinking and/or communication issues that came up over the last couple of weeks, that were connected to our passions and personal goals.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (March 30th)</strong>: the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <b>Virgo</b><b> until 1:52pm EDT </b>(see Wednesday late morning for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Friday at 12:59am EDT</b>, we enter a <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that last for 13-hours, <b>until 1:52pm EDT</b>.

These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts. This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the Full Moon</i> (exact on Saturday morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 31st)</strong>: <i>the Moon will remain in</i> <i>relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking </i><b>Libra </b><b>all day</b><b> </b>(see Friday afternoon for details).<b>\r\n</b>\r\n<b>Saturday at 12:54am EDT</b>,<b> </b><i>Venus moves from fast-paced, enthusiastic, active </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>into steady, sensual</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where she will journey <b>until April 24th.</b> For the next 3.5 weeks, we love receiving physical pleasures and comforts. Our relationships are centered around delicious foods, wine and sensuality.\r\n\r\n\"Simple and natural\" is key. Our financial issues and dealings are being carefully and lovingly considered, we are not easily persuaded to take risks, we\'d rather spend our money on a massage or a good meal.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel even more attracted to physical pleasures and comfort for the next 3.5 weeks. Your heart will want loyalty and consistency. Connecting to nature or anything simple and organic is going to feels especially comforting. </i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday (March 31st) at 8:37am EDT</b>, <i>the Full Moon in almost 11 degrees of</i> <b>Libra</b> becomes exact. All Full Moons bring an opportunity for awareness and integration of the traits connected to the the Full Moon polarities, especially those that have been neglected or suppressed.\r\n\r\nNow, this particular Full Moon also creates a T-Square with the Mars-Saturn alignment in <b>Capricorn</b>, and occurs in the midst of the Mercury Retrograde phase in <b>Aries, </b>conjunct with the Sun in<b> Aries</b>. So we have some very complex patterns here with this Full Moon and we will address all of them in a moment; <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/category/full-moon/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">feel free to also watch my very first Members-Only Full Moon video here</a>: https://youtu.be/fiqadkfHQHU\r\n\r\nThe entrance of the Moon into Libra, on Friday early afternoon, started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon</i>;<i> the Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> opposes the Moon</i> <i>in </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>. The<b> Libra-Aries polarity</b> highlights the spiritual dance between self and other, masculine and feminine, independence and collaboration.\r\n\r\n<b>For the next two weeks,</b> we are looking for balance. The balance in question is between ourselves -- symbolized by <b>Aries</b> -- and others (<b>Libra</b>). It\'s important here to realize that relationships (symbolized by <b>Libra</b>) are essential to our existence -- and play a crucial role in defining and reaching our personal goals/desires (represented by <b>Aries</b>).\r\n\r\nWe are also invited to look at the balance of feminine and masculine within ourselves, our relationships, and our world. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Where has this gone out of balance? What happens when there is too much of one or both? Or too little?\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> calls us to look at the roles that “assertion\" and “independence” play in our lives. We\'re called to find ways to develop a healthy sense of self -- total honesty is crucial here, both with ourselves and with others. Allow the higher vibrations of Aries to shine through: courage, openness towards the new, directness, a healthy sense of identity. The spotlight is on us, so why not use it to see clearly, and be seen?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon in </i><b><i>Libra</i></b> emphasizes the need for collaboration: objectivity, consideration, equality, balance, justice, etc. As you can tell, the spotlight swings over to our relationships.\r\n\r\nNow, with <i>Mars (the ruler of Aries) so close to Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> (exact on April 2nd), and <i>Mercury so close to the Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> (exact on April 1st) -- and both of those alignments squaring each other -- we get an opportunity to stretch and grow, big time, within the next two weeks!\r\n\r\n<i>The Mars/Saturn alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> is a new two-year cycle of real-world, long-term physical manifestation. We are getting a chance to make new commitments, especially in the area of life corresponding to this aspect\'s placement in our own birth charts!\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What would a stable foundation for my projects look like? What might a desirable outcome look like? What is something truly responsible I could do (small or large)?\r\n\r\nFor those of you who get the Monthly Forecasting Forum as part of your membership, we\'ll be covering this personal impact in quite some detail next time (on April 2nd)!\r\n\r\n<i>Retrograde Mercury coming together with the Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> represents an opportunity to rethink our desires and realign with what we feel truly passionate about. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Who am I being in my relationships (including the one with me, myself, and I)? What do I communicate to others and myself? And what\'s my communication style? What calls for my awareness and attention when dealing with the apparent other?\r\n\r\nNow let\'s talk about the <i>T-square with Mars and Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> as the focal point</i>: Mars and Saturn squaring the Moon in <b>Libra,</b> and the Sun in <b>Aries</b>.\r\n\r\nThis T-square invites us to check in with our motivations and ambitions connected to long-term goals. We are feeling pulled between our personal desires, our one-on-one relationships with others (personal or business), and our long-term aspirations. Doing what\'s \"right\" is important to us at this time, but it may not always be in alignment with what we truly want for ourselves. Conflict can be a by-product of this challenging aspect, as it creates an internal tension.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> If the world needed something from me, what might that be? Are my ambitions interfering with my ability to connect with others? How can I stay true to myself while taking other people\'s needs into account? What if it were possible for me to take responsibility for my interactions without guilt?\r\n\r\nHere is something I read about, that I wanted to share (with some minor tweaks): A very powerful way of resolving relationship issues, whether past or present, is to resolve the situation within ourselves. In a meditative state, imagine sitting across from someone with whom you have unresolved feelings or issues. Either inwardly or verbally, express what is still in your heart. Allow yourself to say what you have been unable to or afraid to say.\r\n\r\nImagine speaking to <i>their</i> Soul-self, and imagine what their higher Self would say to you in response to what you shared. When that feels done, go back and forth, until you feel a sense of peace and completion. You will know you are finished when your body is fully relaxed and there is nothing left to feel or express but gratitude.\r\n\r\nThe beauty of this is that it doesn’t require the \"other\" to evolve or even be open-hearted -- furthermore, they don\'t even have to be present (or even alive-- we can do this even if they\'ve left the physical plane). Remember, on a soul-level we are pure love; we understand all and everything \"makes sense\". Why not experiment with this practice -- if it resonates, feel free to share your experience on my website via the comments there. Your insight might help somebody else have a breakthrough, and then we all get to experience that within our community and in the world.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go back to that T-square: given the \"<i>empty leg\" of this T-square lands in </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>,</i> we are invited to pay attention to our basic needs: the need for love and acceptance, for control (which sometimes shows up as not wanting to feel out of control), and our need for safety and security. We are reminded to nurture ourselves, especially our feeling body, and to be open to receiving support from familiar, trusted people -- as best as we can, of course.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> How might a commitment to my emotional well-being support me with my long-term goals and my relationships (including the one with myself)? Might nurturing myself help me step outside my comfort zone? If so, what modest daily practice might best provide that nurturing?\r\n\r\nWith so many planets in cardinal signs, we might feel overly active... They will keep us busy for sure -- in fact, it could end up being too much pressure, too many commitments and obligations. As best as you can, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself over the next two weeks. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I\'m doing the best I can, and by definition, that\'s the best I can do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you find that you are pushing yourself too hard, you might also <strong>ask yourself:</strong> When is enough, enough? Just for this moment, right now, could I focus on nurturing myself? Could I allow myself a break, before I break myself? Might that mean I come back stronger? Might that actually be more efficient in the long run? Could I try that quickly, just as an experiment?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus (the ruler of Libra), currently in </i><b><i>Taurus,</i></b> is helping us see how most struggles in relationships trace back to the relationship we have with ourselves: How worthy we feel, how valuable we think we are (just as we are, without needing to do anything, simply our presence, our being alive).\r\n\r\nThis placement facilitates recognizing that what we seek in our relationships is actually inside of us. It\'s the love that we seek to give and receive, and it starts with giving it to ourselves and being able to receive it from ourselves: All you need is Love!\r\n\r\nI invite you to do another little experiment here: As best as you can, stop for a moment and get as comfortable as possible, wherever you are. Now, simply <strong>ask yourself:</strong> Could I notice how much I dislike myself, to the extent I actually do? And as an experiment, how much could I love myself in this now moment? Simply go back and forth between those questions, alternating them repeatedly for several cycles. End on the \"love\" question... What did you notice as you alternated those questions?\r\n\r\nIf you feel out of tune with the wording of either question, feel free to replace the word \"dislike\" with \"hate\" and the word \"love\" with \"like\" (or whatever words works best for you). Go back and forth, until you feel completely neutral and at peace from within. This is not an exercise for the mind, so it doesn\'t require to understand it or to figure it out. As best as you can, let your heart lead you and see what happens.\r\n\r\nBy the way, those questions are drawn from The Sedona Method -- a technique I use a great deal in my coaching practice -- I love it because it\'s a simple, question-based technique you can learn in less than an hour, then use immediately and for the rest of your life.

What we say or write now is impactful, so choose your words as if people hung on every one. If they really, truly did... what would you say then? What might you hold back from saying?\r\n\r\nOur opinions are usually strong during this time; we like to think independently and are proud of our opinions and our thoughts. For this reason, our egos might get bruised if we are not \"heard\" -- if our opinions are pushed aside, ignored or criticized.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have different opinions… and that\'s ok. We may be particularly impulsive during this time... but rushing in may not serve us. For those four days, ask yourself: What might happen if I allowed my mind to slow down by just 5%?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in </i><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><i>8</i></span><i>-15 degrees of</i> <b><i>Aries,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Libra, Capricorn</i></b><i>, or </i><b><i>Cancer?</i></b> <i>If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo, Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)\r\n</i>\r\n<b>Sunday at 2:29pm EDT</b>, we enter a <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>, that last for 4.5-hours, <b>until 6:57pm EDT</b>. Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday afternoon <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">and early evening</span> ahead of time. (<span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">Moon in Libra opposes Uranus in Aries)</span>\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday at 6:57pm EDT</b>, <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey<b> <strong>until next week, Wednesday very early morning (April 4th).</strong></b><b> </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\nAlso, on<strong> Sunday</strong>: Last chance to join my <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-live/\">next Forecasting Forum, </a>live tomorrow, <b>Monday at 1pm EDT</b> (more details at the very bottom of the blog)…\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (April 2nd):</strong> <i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day</b><b> </b>(see Sunday evening for details). <b>Late morning</b>, a<i> </i><i>Mars/Saturn alignment in almost 9 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong> </i><i>becomes exact</i> at 11:44am EDT. <b>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday on, it will be strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">next week,</span> Saturday (April 7th)</b><b>. </b>More about all the details in next week’s forecast ;-)\r\n<h3>One Last Announcement:</h3>\r\nJoin me for my next FORECASTING FORUM, <b>Monday</b>, <b>April 2nd, 2018 at </b>10am<b> </b>PDT/<b> 1pm EDT</b>/6pm BST (London-time).<b> </b>We will be talking about the upcoming<b> Station </b>and<b> Retrograde phases in April: </b>Saturn stations and goes retrograde in 9º of Capricorn, Pluto stations and goes retrograde in 21º of Capricorn -- and Mars (the warrior archetype) will join in as well!\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how to align yourself with these retrograde phases, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation.

This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the Full Moon</i> (exact on Saturday morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 31st)</strong>: <i>the Moon will remain in</i> <i>relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking </i><b>Libra </b><b>all day</b><b> </b>(see Friday afternoon for details).<b>\r\n</b>\r\n<b>Saturday at 12:54am EDT</b>,<b> </b><i>Venus moves from fast-paced, enthusiastic, active </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>into steady, sensual</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where she will journey <b>until April 24th.</b> For the next 3.5 weeks, we love receiving physical pleasures and comforts.

Our financial issues and dealings are being carefully and lovingly considered, we are not easily persuaded to take risks, we\'d rather spend our money on a massage or a good meal.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel even more attracted to physical pleasures and comfort for the next 3.5 weeks. Your heart will want loyalty and consistency. Connecting to nature or anything simple and organic is going to feels especially comforting. </i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday (March 31st) at 8:37am EDT</b>, <i>the Full Moon in almost 11 degrees of</i> <b>Libra</b> becomes exact. All Full Moons bring an opportunity for awareness and integration of the traits connected to the the Full Moon polarities, especially those that have been neglected or suppressed.\r\n\r\nNow, this particular Full Moon also creates a T-Square with the Mars-Saturn alignment in <b>Capricorn</b>, and occurs in the midst of the Mercury Retrograde phase in <b>Aries, </b>conjunct with the Sun in<b> Aries</b>. So we have some very complex patterns here with this Full Moon and we will address all of them in a moment; <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/category/full-moon/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">feel free to also watch my very first Members-Only Full Moon video here</a>: https://youtu.be/fiqadkfHQHU\r\n\r\nThe entrance of the Moon into Libra, on Friday early afternoon, started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon</i>;<i> the Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> opposes the Moon</i> <i>in </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>. The<b> Libra-Aries polarity</b> highlights the spiritual dance between self and other, masculine and feminine, independence and collaboration.\r\n\r\n<b>For the next two weeks,</b> we are looking for balance. The balance in question is between ourselves -- symbolized by <b>Aries</b> -- and others (<b>Libra</b>). It\'s important here to realize that relationships (symbolized by <b>Libra</b>) are essential to our existence -- and play a crucial role in defining and reaching our personal goals/desires (represented by <b>Aries</b>).\r\n\r\nWe are also invited to look at the balance of feminine and masculine within ourselves, our relationships, and our world. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Where has this gone out of balance? What happens when there is too much of one or both? Or too little?\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> call us to look at the roles that “assertion\" and “independence” play in our lives. We\'re called to find ways to develop a healthy sense of self -- total honesty is crucial here, both with ourselves and with others. Allow the higher vibrations of Aries to shine through: courage, openness towards the new, directness, a healthy sense of identity. The spotlight is on us, so why not use it to see clearly, and be seen?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon in </i><b><i>Libra</i></b> emphasizes the need for collaboration: objectivity, consideration, equality, balance, justice, etc. As you can tell, the spotlight swings over to our relationships.\r\n\r\nNow, with <i>Mars (the ruler of Aries) so close to Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> (exact on April 2nd), and <i>Mercury so close to the Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> (exact on April 1st) -- and both of those alignments squaring each other -- we get an opportunity to stretch and grow, big time, within the next two weeks!\r\n\r\n<i>The Mars/Saturn alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> is a new two-year cycle of real world, long-term physical manifestation. We are getting a chance to make new commitments, especially in the area of life corresponding to this aspect\'s placement in our own birth charts!\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What would a stable foundation for my projects look like? What might a desirable outcome look like? What is something truly responsible I could do (small or large)?\r\n\r\nFor those of you who get the Monthly Forecasting Forum as part of your membership, we\'ll be covering this personal impact in quite some detail next time (on April 2nd)!\r\n\r\n<i>Retrograde Mercury coming together with the Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> represents an opportunity to rethink our desires and realign with what we feel truly passionate about. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Who am I being in my relationships (including the one with me, myself, and I)? What do I communicate to others and myself? And what\'s my communication style? What calls for my awareness and attention when dealing with the apparent other?\r\n\r\nNow let\'s talk about the <i>T-square with Mars and Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> as the focal point</i>: Mars and Saturn squaring the Moon in <b>Libra,</b> and the Sun in <b>Aries</b>.\r\n\r\nThis T-square invites us to check in with our motivations and ambitions connected to long-term goals. We are feeling pulled between our personal desires, our one-on-one relationships with others (personal or business), and our long-term aspirations. Doing what\'s \"right\" is important to us at this time, but it may not always be in alignment with what we truly want for ourselves. Conflict can be a by-product of this challenging aspect, as it creates an internal tension.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> If the world needed something from me, what might that be? Are my ambitions interfering with my ability to connect with others? How can I stay true to myself while taking other people\'s needs into account? What if it were possible for me to take responsibility for my interactions without guilt?\r\n\r\nHere is something I read about, that I wanted to share (with some minor tweaks): A very powerful way of resolving relationship issues, whether past or present, is to resolve the situation within ourselves. In a meditative state, imagine sitting across from someone with whom you have unresolved feelings or issues. Either inwardly or verbally, express what is still in your heart. Allow yourself to say what you have been unable to or afraid to say.\r\n\r\nImagine speaking to <i>their</i> Soul-self, and imagine what their higher Self would say to you in response to what you shared. When that feels done, go back and forth, until you feel a sense of peace and completion. You will know you are finished, when your body is fully relaxed, and there is nothing left to feel or express but gratitude.\r\n\r\nThe beauty of this is that it doesn’t require the \"other\" to evolve or even be open-hearted -- furthermore, they don\'t even have to be present (or even alive-- we can do this even if they\'ve left the physical plane). Remember, on a soul-level we are pure love; we understand all and everything \"makes sense\". Why not experiment with this practice -- if it resonates, feel free to share about it on my website via the comments there. Your insight might help somebody else have a breakthrough, and then we all get to experience that within our community and in the world.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go back to that T-square: given the \"<i>empty leg\" of this T-square lands in </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>,</i> we are invited to pay attention to our basic needs: the need for love and acceptance, for control (which sometimes shows up as not wanting to feel out of control), and our need for safety and security. We are reminded to nurture ourselves, especially our feeling body, and to be open to receiving support from familiar, trusted people -- as best as we can, of course.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> How might a commitment to my emotional well-being support me with my long-term goals and my relationships (including the one with myself)? Might nurturing myself help me step outside my comfort zone? If so, what modest daily practice might best provide that nurturing?\r\n\r\nWith so many planets in cardinal signs, we might feel overly active.... They will keep us busy for sure, in fact it could end up being too much pressure, too many commitments and obligations. As best as you can, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself over the next two weeks. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I\'m doing the best I can, and by definition, that\'s the best I can do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you find that you are pushing yourself too hard, you might also <strong>ask yourself:</strong> When is enough, enough? Just for this moment, right now, could I focus on nurturing myself? Could I allow myself a break, before I break myself? Might that mean I come back stronger? Might that actually be more efficient in the long run? Could I try that quickly, just as an experiment?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus (the ruler of Libra), currently in </i><b><i>Taurus,</i></b> is helping us see how most struggles in relationships trace back to the relationship we have with ourselves: How worthy we feel, how valuable we think we are (just as we are, without needing to do anything, simply our presence, our being alive).\r\n\r\nThis placement facilitates recognizing that what we seek in our relationships is actually inside of us. It\'s the love that we seek to give and receive, and it starts with giving it to ourselves and being able to receive it from ourselves: All you need is Love!\r\n\r\nI invite you to do another little experiment here: As best as you can, stop for a moment and get as comfortable as possible, wherever you are. Now, simply <strong>ask yourself:</strong> Could I notice how much I dislike myself, to the extent I actually do? And as an experiment, how much could I love myself in this now moment? Simply go back and forth between those questions, alternating them repeatedly for several cycles. End on the \"love\" question... What did you notice as you alternated those questions?\r\n\r\nIf you feel out of tune with the wording of either question, feel free to replace the word \"dislike\" with \"hate\" and the word \"love\" with \"like\" (or whatever words works best for you). Go back and forth, until you feel completely neutral and at peace from within. This is not an exercise for the mind, so it doesn\'t require to understand it or to figure it out. As best as you can, let your heart lead you and see what happens.\r\n\r\nBy the way, those questions are drawn from The Sedona Method -- a technique I use a great deal in my coaching practice -- I love it because it\'s a simple, question-based technique you can learn in less than an hour, then use immediately and for the rest of your life. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">If you\'d like to explore this with me in more depth, feel free to book at a <a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/coaching/\">Coaching/Healing session</a> with me, or upgrade to <a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/superstar-membership/\">SuperStar Membership</a> to receive a FREE 25-minute session once a month.</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>To sum it all up for this Full Moon:</strong> as always, double-check whether you are coming from love or fear - and remember that impatience is a manifestation of fear (fear that the timing or pace of things is not \"right\" ;-) For more details on this complex Full Moon <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/category/full-moon/\">click here and watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/fiqadkfHQHU\r\n\r\nI also want to mention that we will go over the upcoming Saturn and Pluto retrograde phases in April, in more detail in the next Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how they will impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. The next Forum will be on <b>Monday, April 2nd</b> at 10am PT/<b>1pm ET</b>/6pm BST (London-time); for more info or to register at the regular fee, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">click here</a>.

What we say or write now has impact, so as best as you can, choose your words wisely. If people hung on your every word, what would you say then? What would you hold back from saying?\r\n\r\nOur opinions are usually strong during this time; we like to think independently and are proud of our opinions and our thoughts. For this reason, our egos might get bruised if we are not \"heard\" -- if our opinions are pushed aside, ignored or criticized.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have different opinions… and that\'s ok. We may be particularly impulsive during this time... but rushing in may not serve us. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">For those four days, ask yourself: What might happen if I allowed my mind to slow down just 5%?</span>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in </i><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><i>8</i></span><i>-15 degrees of</i> <b><i>Aries,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Libra, Capricorn</i></b><i>, or </i><b><i>Cancer?</i></b> <i>If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo, Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)\r\n</i>\r\n<b>Sunday at 2:29pm EDT</b>, we enter a <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>, that last for 4.5-hours, <b>until 6:57pm EDT</b>.

Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free.

You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days.

We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time.

These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts. This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the Full Moon</i> (exact on Saturday morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 31st)</strong>: <i>the Moon will remain in</i> <i>relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking </i><b>Libra </b><b>all day</b><b> </b>(see Friday afternoon for details).<b>\r\n</b>\r\n<b>Saturday at 12:54am EDT</b>,<b> </b><i>Venus moves from fast-paced, enthusiastic, active </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>into steady, sensual</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where she will journey <b>until April 24th.</b> For the next 3.5 weeks, we love receiving physical pleasures and comforts. Our relationships are centered around delicious foods, wine and sensuality.\r\n\r\n\"Simple and natural\" is key. Our financial issues and dealings are being carefully and lovingly considered, we are not easily persuaded to take risks, we\'d rather spend our money on a massage or a good meal.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel even more attracted to physical pleasures and comfort for the next 3.5 weeks. Your heart will want loyalty and consistency. Connecting to nature or anything simple and organic is going to feels especially comforting. </i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday (March 31st) at 8:37am EDT</b>, <i>the Full Moon in almost 11 degrees of</i> <b>Libra</b> becomes exact. All Full Moons bring an opportunity for awareness and integration of the traits connected to the the Full Moon polarities, especially those that have been neglected or suppressed.\r\n\r\nNow, this particular Full Moon also creates a T-Square with the Mars-Saturn alignment in <b>Capricorn</b>, and occurs in the midst of the Mercury Retrograde phase in <b>Aries, </b>conjunct with the Sun in<b> Aries</b>. So we have some very complex patterns here with this Full Moon and we will address all of them in a moment; <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/category/full-moon/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">feel free to also watch my very first Members-Only Full Moon video here</a>: https://youtu.be/fiqadkfHQHU\r\n\r\nThe entrance of the Moon into Libra, on Friday early afternoon, started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon</i>;<i> the Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> opposes the Moon</i> <i>in </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>. The<b> Libra-Aries polarity</b> highlights the spiritual dance between self and other, masculine and feminine, independence and collaboration.\r\n\r\n<b>For the next two weeks,</b> we are looking for balance. The balance in question is between ourselves -- symbolized by <b>Aries</b> -- and others (<b>Libra</b>). It\'s important here to realize that relationships (symbolized by <b>Libra</b>) are essential to our existence -- and play a crucial role in defining and reaching our personal goals/desires (represented by <b>Aries</b>).\r\n\r\nWe are also invited to look at the balance of feminine and masculine within ourselves, our relationships, and our world. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Where has this gone out of balance? What happens when there is too much of one or both? Or too little?\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> call us to look at the roles that “assertion\" and “independence” play in our lives. We\'re called to find ways to develop a healthy sense of self -- total honesty is crucial here, both with ourselves and with others. Allow the higher vibrations of Aries to shine through: courage, openness towards the new, directness, a healthy sense of identity. The spotlight is on us, so why not use it to see clearly, and be seen?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon in </i><b><i>Libra</i></b> emphasizes the need for collaboration: objectivity, consideration, equality, balance, justice, etc. As you can tell, the spotlight swings over to our relationships.\r\n\r\nNow, with <i>Mars (the ruler of Aries) so close to Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> (exact on April 2nd), and <i>Mercury so close to the Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> (exact on April 1st) -- and both of those alignments squaring each other -- we get an opportunity to stretch and grow, big time, within the next two weeks!\r\n\r\n<i>The Mars/Saturn alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> is a new two-year cycle of real world, long-term physical manifestation. We are getting a chance to make new commitments, especially in the area of life corresponding to this aspect\'s placement in our own birth charts!\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What would a stable foundation for my projects look like? What might a desirable outcome look like? What is something truly responsible I could do (small or large)?\r\n\r\nFor those of you who get the Monthly Forecasting Forum as part of your membership, we\'ll be covering this personal impact in quite some detail next time (on April 2nd)!\r\n\r\n<i>Retrograde Mercury coming together with the Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> represents an opportunity to rethink our desires and realign with what we feel truly passionate about. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Who am I being in my relationships (including the one with me, myself, and I)? What do I communicate to others and myself? And what\'s my communication style? What calls for my awareness and attention when dealing with the apparent other?\r\n\r\nNow let\'s talk about the <i>T-square with Mars and Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> as the focal point</i>: Mars and Saturn squaring the Moon in <b>Libra,</b> and the Sun in <b>Aries</b>.\r\n\r\nThis T-square invites us to check in with our motivations and ambitions connected to long-term goals. We are feeling pulled between our personal desires, our one-on-one relationships with others (personal or business), and our long-term aspirations. Doing what\'s \"right\" is important to us at this time, but it may not always be in alignment with what we truly want for ourselves. Conflict can be a by-product of this challenging aspect, as it creates an internal tension.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> If the world needed something from me, what might that be? Are my ambitions interfering with my ability to connect with others? How can I stay true to myself while taking other people\'s needs into account? What if it were possible for me to take responsibility for my interactions without guilt?\r\n\r\nHere is something I read about, that I wanted to share (with some minor tweaks): A very powerful way of resolving relationship issues, whether past or present, is to resolve the situation within ourselves. In a meditative state, imagine sitting across from someone with whom you have unresolved feelings or issues. Either inwardly or verbally, express what is still in your heart. Allow yourself to say what you have been unable to or afraid to say.\r\n\r\nImagine speaking to <i>their</i> Soul-self, and imagine what their higher Self would say to you in response to what you shared. When that feels done, go back and forth, until you feel a sense of peace and completion. You will know you are finished, when your body is fully relaxed, and there is nothing left to feel or express but gratitude.\r\n\r\nThe beauty of this is that it doesn’t require the \"other\" to evolve or even be open-hearted -- furthermore, they don\'t even have to be present (or even alive-- we can do this even if they\'ve left the physical plane). Remember, on a soul-level we are pure love; we understand all and everything \"makes sense\". Why not experiment with this practice -- if it resonates, feel free to share about it on my website via the comments there. Your insight might help somebody else have a breakthrough, and then we all get to experience that within our community and in the world.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go back to that T-square: given the \"<i>empty leg\" of this T-square lands in </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>,</i> we are invited to pay attention to our basic needs: the need for love and acceptance, for control (which sometimes shows up as not wanting to feel out of control), and our need for safety and security. We are reminded to nurture ourselves, especially our feeling body, and to be open to receiving support from familiar, trusted people -- as best as we can, of course.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> How might a commitment to my emotional well-being support me with my long-term goals and my relationships (including the one with myself)? Might nurturing myself help me step outside my comfort zone? If so, what modest daily practice might best provide that nurturing?\r\n\r\nWith so many planets in cardinal signs, we might feel overly active.... They will keep us busy for sure, in fact it could end up being too much pressure, too many commitments and obligations. As best as you can, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself over the next two weeks. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I\'m doing the best I can, and by definition, that\'s the best I can do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you find that you are pushing yourself too hard, you might also <strong>ask yourself:</strong> When is enough, enough? Just for this moment, right now, could I focus on nurturing myself? Could I allow myself a break, before I break myself? Might that mean I come back stronger? Might that actually be more efficient in the long run? Could I try that quickly, just as an experiment?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus (the ruler of Libra), currently in </i><b><i>Taurus,</i></b> is helping us see how most struggles in relationships trace back to the relationship we have with ourselves: How worthy we feel, how valuable we think we are (just as we are, without needing to do anything, simply our presence, our being alive).\r\n\r\nThis placement facilitates recognizing that what we seek in our relationships is actually inside of us. It\'s the love that we seek to give and receive, and it starts with giving it to ourselves and being able to receive it from ourselves: All you need is Love!\r\n\r\nI invite you to do another little experiment here: As best as you can, stop for a moment and get as comfortable as possible, wherever you are. Now, simply <strong>ask yourself:</strong> Could I notice how much I dislike myself, to the extent I actually do? And as an experiment, how much could I love myself in this now moment? Simply go back and forth between those questions, alternating them repeatedly for several cycles. End on the \"love\" question... What did you notice as you alternated those questions?\r\n\r\nIf you feel out of tune with the wording of either question, feel free to replace the word \"dislike\" with \"hate\" and the word \"love\" with \"like\" (or whatever words works best for you). Go back and forth, until you feel completely neutral and at peace from within. This is not an exercise for the mind, so it doesn\'t require to understand it or to figure it out. As best as you can, let your heart lead you and see what happens.\r\n\r\nBy the way, those questions are drawn from The Sedona Method -- a technique I use a great deal in my coaching practice -- I love it because it\'s a simple, question-based technique you can learn in less than an hour, then use immediately and for the rest of your life. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">If you\'d like to explore this with me in more depth, feel free to book at a <a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/coaching/\">Coaching/Healing session</a> with me, or upgrade to <a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/superstar-membership/\">SuperStar Membership</a> to receive a FREE 25-minute session once a month.</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>To sum it all up for this Full Moon:</strong> as always, double-check whether you are coming from love or fear - and remember that impatience is a manifestation of fear (fear that the timing or pace of things is not \"right\" ;-) For more details on this complex Full Moon <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/category/full-moon/\">click here and watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/fiqadkfHQHU\r\n\r\nI also want to mention that we will go over the upcoming Saturn and Pluto retrograde phases in April, in more detail in the next Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how they will impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. The next Forum will be on <b>Monday, April 2nd</b> at 10am PT/<b>1pm ET</b>/6pm BST (London-time); for more info or to register at the regular fee, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">click here</a>.

Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\nAlso, on<strong> Sunday</strong>: Last chance to join my <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-live/\">next Forecasting Forum, </a>live tomorrow, <b>Monday at 1pm EDT</b> (more details at the very bottom of the blog)…\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (April 2nd):</strong> <i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day</b><b> </b>(see Sunday evening for details). <b>Late morning</b>, a<i> </i><i>Mars/Saturn alignment in almost 9 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong> </i><i>becomes exact</i> at 11:44am EDT. <b>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday on, it will be strong until <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">next week,</span> Saturday (April 7th)</b><b>. </b>More about all the details in next week’s forecast ;-)\r\n<h3>One Last Announcement:</h3>\r\nJoin me for my next FORECASTING FORUM, <b>Monday</b>, <b>April 2nd, 2018 at </b>10am<b> </b>PDT/<b> 1pm EDT</b>/6pm BST (London-time).<b> Please note </b>that we will be talking about the upcoming<b> Station </b>and<b> Retrograde phases in April: </b>Saturn stations and goes retrograde in 9º of Capricorn, Pluto stations and goes retrograde in 21º of Capricorn.

We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-) So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can.\n\nFun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?<b>\n</b>\n\n<strong>Tuesday (March 27th): </strong><em>t</em><em>he Moon remains in <i>fun and attention-loving </i><strong>Leo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday morning for details).\n\n<b>Tuesday morning,</b> we are invited to make some internal adjustments. We may want to have some fun, but may also need to tune in to our intuitive inner voice. What do you hear when you get really quiet?\n\n<b>Tuesday late morning, </b>things flow nicely; we feel excited about new adventures. We have an opportunity to connect, explore, and become part of something exciting.\n\n<b>Tuesday evening, </b>feels a little uneasy. We need to develop an inner awareness around our two seemingly opposite pulls: on the one hand, a strong desire to accomplish; on the other, our need for play and fun.\n\nWe are asked to bring awareness to whatever it is we feel most passionate about: Are we after laughter and joy? Or intense and authentic emotion? As best as you can, make adjustments as needed, and drop any self-judgment.\n\n<b>Tuesday  late evening, </b>we feel a need for acknowledgment and adoration... and also for deep, authentic -- even intimate -- connections to others. As best as you can, get creative!\n\n<strong>Wednesday (March 28th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo</i></b> <b>until 10:30am EDT </b>(see Monday morning for details).\n\n<b>Wednesday at 5:54am EDT</b>, we enter a <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>, that last for almost 4.5 hours, <b>until 10:30am EDT</b>. During this intuitive time, have fun connecting with others and doing things that bring you joy — explore something different, take a risk.\n\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday morning ahead of time ;-)\n\n<b>Wednesday at 10:30am EDT</b>, <i>the Moon moves into detail-oriented, practical</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <b>until Friday afternoon</b>; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\n\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<b> </b><b>\n</b>\n<b>Wednesday evening</b>, a <i>Venus/Uranus </i><i>alignment</i><i> in 27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> becomes exact at 8:47pm. <b>We start feeling this aspect build from Monday evening on; it will be strong until Saturday evening (March 31st)</b>. This alignment gives us the opportunity to experiment with a new way of relating to others. Freedom plays a big part in our interactions with others.\n\nIt\'s a favorable time for social meetings and events. Do something different, something unusual, with one-on-one relationships -- break the routine -- and as you can imagine, you might experience some unexpected interactions during this time. As best as you can, stay open and flexible: Fresh air is blowing through your relationships.\n\nWe are also ready to experiment with regards to financial undertakings; good energetic matches include anything involving electronics, technology, the internet, metaphysics, the arts, and group activities in general. That said, this is not the best time to make long-term financial investments, unless you had an intuitive vision about something ;-)\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 24-29 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn, </i></b><i>or 0 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>?

Allow your mind to be clear and calm even if life puts up roadblocks or throws curveballs. Simplify daily routines as much as you can.\n\nWhat if you simply knew that you could handle whatever shows up? Would you rather have your old programming... or more clarity? Would you rather have inner and outer clutter, or inner and outer clarity? Where do you need more information?\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in </i><i>5-</i><i>12</i><i> degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)</i>\n\nAlso on <b>Thursday,</b> <em>the Mercury Station ends (at </em><i>14 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b>). <i>Mercury resumes its normal pace through the sky</i> -- but moving backward through the sky, as seen from Earth (that’s what “retrograde” refers to).<i> </i>We have a chance to do some internal work on any thinking and/or communication issues that came up over the last couple of weeks, that were connected to our passions and personal goals.\n\n<strong>Friday (March 30th)</strong>: the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <b>Virgo</b><b> until 1:52pm EDT </b>(see Wednesday late morning for details).\n\n<b>Friday at 12:59am EDT</b>, we enter a <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that last for 13-hours, <b>until 1:52pm EDT</b>. Use this intuitive time to get organized, improve daily routines, and to develop more awareness of how that all fits in with expanding intimate connections with others.\n\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday morning and early afternoon ahead of time ;-)\n\n<b>Friday at 1:52pm EDT</b>, <i>the Moon moves into relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>, where it will journey<b> </b><b>until Sunday evening.</b><b> </b>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\n\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\n\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts. This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the Full Moon</i> (exact on Saturday morning).\n\n<strong>Saturday (March 31st)</strong>: <i>the Moon will remain in</i> <i>relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking </i><b>Libra </b><b>all day</b><b> </b>(see Friday afternoon for details).<b>\n</b>\n<b>Saturday at 12:54am EDT</b>,<b> </b><i>Venus moves from fast-paced, enthusiastic, active </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>into steady, sensual</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where she will journey <b>until April 24th.</b> For the next 3.5 weeks, we love receiving physical pleasures and comforts. Our relationships are centered around delicious foods, wine and sensuality.\n\n\"Simple and natural\" is key. Our financial issues and dealings are being carefully and lovingly considered, we are not easily persuaded to take risks, we\'d rather spend our money on a massage or a good meal.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel even more attracted to physical pleasures and comfort for the next 3.5 weeks. Your heart will want loyalty and consistency. Connecting to nature or anything simple and organic is going to feels especially comforting. </i>\n\n<b>Saturday (March 31st) at 8:37am EDT</b>, <i>the Full Moon in almost 11 degrees of</i> <b>Libra</b> becomes exact. All Full Moons bring an opportunity for awareness and integration of the traits connected to the the Full Moon polarities, especially those that have been neglected or suppressed.\n\nNow, this particular Full Moon also creates a T-Square with the Mars-Saturn alignment in <b>Capricorn</b>, and occurs in the midst of the Mercury Retrograde phase in <b>Aries, </b>conjunct with the Sun in<b> Aries</b>. So we have some very complex patterns here with this Full Moon and we will address all of them in a moment; <a href=\"https://youtu.be/fiqadkfHQHU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">feel free to also watch my very first Members-Only Full Moon video here</a>\n\nThe entrance of the Moon into Libra, on Friday early afternoon, started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon</i>;<i> the Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> opposes the Moon</i> <i>in </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>. The<b> Libra-Aries polarity</b> highlights the spiritual dance between self and other, masculine and feminine, independence and collaboration.\n\n<b>For the next two weeks,</b> we are looking for balance. The balance in question is between ourselves -- symbolized by <b>Aries</b> -- and others (<b>Libra</b>). It\'s important here to realize that relationships (symbolized by <b>Libra</b>) are essential to our existence -- and play a crucial role in defining and reaching our personal goals/desires (represented by <b>Aries</b>).\n\nWe are also invited to look at the balance of feminine and masculine within ourselves, our relationships, and our world. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Where has this gone out of balance? What happens when there is too much of one or both? Or too little?\n\n<i>The Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> calls us to look at the roles that “assertion\" and “independence” play in our lives. We\'re called to find ways to develop a healthy sense of self -- total honesty is crucial here, both with ourselves and with others. Allow the higher vibrations of Aries to shine through: courage, openness towards the new, directness, a healthy sense of identity. The spotlight is on us, so why not use it to see clearly, and be seen?\n\n<i>The Moon in </i><b><i>Libra</i></b> emphasizes the need for collaboration: objectivity, consideration, equality, balance, justice, etc. As you can tell, the spotlight swings over to our relationships.\n\nNow, with <i>Mars (the ruler of Aries) so close to Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> (exact on April 2nd), and <i>Mercury so close to the Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> (exact on April 1st) -- and both of those alignments squaring each other -- we get an opportunity to stretch and grow, big time, within the next two weeks!\n\n<i>The Mars/Saturn alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> is a new two-year cycle of real-world, long-term physical manifestation. We are getting a chance to make new commitments, especially in the area of life corresponding to this aspect\'s placement in our own birth charts!\n\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What would a stable foundation for my projects look like? What might a desirable outcome look like? What is something truly responsible I could do (small or large)?\n\nFor those of you who get the Monthly Forecasting Forum as part of your membership, we\'ll be covering this personal impact in quite some detail next time (on April 2nd)!\n\n<i>Retrograde Mercury coming together with the Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> represents an opportunity to rethink our desires and realign with what we feel truly passionate about. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Who am I being in my relationships (including the one with me, myself, and I)? What do I communicate to others and myself? And what\'s my communication style? What calls for my awareness and attention when dealing with the apparent other?\n\nNow let\'s talk about the <i>T-square with Mars and Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> as the focal point</i>: Mars and Saturn squaring the Moon in <b>Libra,</b> and the Sun in <b>Aries</b>.\n\nThis T-square invites us to check in with our motivations and ambitions connected to long-term goals. We are feeling pulled between our personal desires, our one-on-one relationships with others (personal or business), and our long-term aspirations. Doing what\'s \"right\" is important to us at this time, but it may not always be in alignment with what we truly want for ourselves. Conflict can be a by-product of this challenging aspect, as it creates an internal tension.\n\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> If the world needed something from me, what might that be? Are my ambitions interfering with my ability to connect with others? How can I stay true to myself while taking other people\'s needs into account? What if it were possible for me to take responsibility for my interactions without guilt?\n\nHere is something I read about, that I wanted to share (with some minor tweaks): A very powerful way of resolving relationship issues, whether past or present, is to resolve the situation within ourselves. In a meditative state, imagine sitting across from someone with whom you have unresolved feelings or issues. Either inwardly or verbally, express what is still in your heart. Allow yourself to say what you have been unable to or afraid to say.\n\nImagine speaking to <i>their</i> Soul-self, and imagine what their higher Self would say to you in response to what you shared. When that feels done, go back and forth, until you feel a sense of peace and completion. You will know you are finished when your body is fully relaxed and there is nothing left to feel or express but gratitude.\n\nThe beauty of this is that it doesn’t require the \"other\" to evolve or even be open-hearted -- furthermore, they don\'t even have to be present (or even alive-- we can do this even if they\'ve left the physical plane). Remember, on a soul-level we are pure love; we understand all and everything \"makes sense\". Why not experiment with this practice -- if it resonates, feel free to share your experience on my website via the comments there. Your insight might help somebody else have a breakthrough, and then we all get to experience that within our community and in the world.\n\nNow, let\'s go back to that T-square: given the \"<i>empty leg\" of this T-square lands in </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>,</i> we are invited to pay attention to our basic needs: the need for love and acceptance, for control (which sometimes shows up as not wanting to feel out of control), and our need for safety and security. We are reminded to nurture ourselves, especially our feeling body, and to be open to receiving support from familiar, trusted people -- as best as we can, of course.\n\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> How might a commitment to my emotional well-being support me with my long-term goals and my relationships (including the one with myself)? Might nurturing myself help me step outside my comfort zone? If so, what modest daily practice might best provide that nurturing?\n\nWith so many planets in cardinal signs, we might feel overly active... They will keep us busy for sure -- in fact, it could end up being too much pressure, too many commitments and obligations. As best as you can, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself over the next two weeks. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I\'m doing the best I can, and by definition, that\'s the best I can do\" ;-)\n\nIf you find that you are pushing yourself too hard, you might also <strong>ask yourself:</strong> When is enough, enough? Just for this moment, right now, could I focus on nurturing myself? Could I allow myself a break, before I break myself? Might that mean I come back stronger? Might that actually be more efficient in the long run? Could I try that quickly, just as an experiment?\n\n<i>Venus (the ruler of Libra), currently in </i><b><i>Taurus,</i></b> is helping us see how most struggles in relationships trace back to the relationship we have with ourselves: How worthy we feel, how valuable we think we are (just as we are, without needing to do anything, simply our presence, our being alive).\n\nThis placement facilitates recognizing that what we seek in our relationships is actually inside of us. It\'s the love that we seek to give and receive, and it starts with giving it to ourselves and being able to receive it from ourselves: All you need is Love!\n\nI invite you to do another little experiment here: As best as you can, stop for a moment and get as comfortable as possible, wherever you are. Now, simply <strong>ask yourself:</strong> Could I notice how much I dislike myself, to the extent I actually do? And as an experiment, how much could I love myself in this now moment? Simply go back and forth between those questions, alternating them repeatedly for several cycles. End on the \"love\" question... What did you notice as you alternated those questions?\n\nIf you feel out of tune with the wording of either question, feel free to replace the word \"dislike\" with \"hate\" and the word \"love\" with \"like\" (or whatever words works best for you). Go back and forth, until you feel completely neutral and at peace from within. This is not an exercise for the mind, so it doesn\'t require to understand it or to figure it out.

This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer)</i>\n\n<strong>Sunday (April 1st)</strong>: <i>the Moon will remain in </i><i>relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i> </i><b><i>until 6:57pm EDT</i></b><i> (see Friday afternoon for details).</i>\n\n<b><i>Sunday afternoon</i></b><i>, a Sun/Mercury</i><i> </i><i>alignment</i><i> </i><i>in 11.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> becomes exact </i><i>at 1:53pm EDT</i><i>. </i><b><i>We started to feel this aspect build from </i></b><b><i>Friday</i></b><b><i> (March </i></b><b><i>30th)</i></b><b><i> on, it will will be strong until </i></b><b><i>next week Tuesday (April 3rd).</i></b><b><i> </i></b><i>When the Sun and Mercury come together, we are especially sharp, communicative, and open. This aspect indicates a confident mind and an analytical approach to life. Intelligence and communication abilities are strong at this time; however, we may not listen as well as the other speaks -- we might be too busy thinking about what to say next.</i>\n\nIn general, we have a strong need to take an active role in communications -- it is very hard for us to passively listen and absorb information right now. What we say or write now is impactful, so choose your words as if people hung on every one. If they really, truly did... what would you say then? What might you hold back from saying?\n\nOur opinions are usually strong during this time; we like to think independently and are proud of our opinions and our thoughts. For this reason, our egos might get bruised if we are not \"heard\" -- if our opinions are pushed aside, ignored or criticized.\n\nAs best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have different opinions… and that\'s ok. We may be particularly impulsive during this time... but rushing in may not serve us. For those four days, ask yourself: What might happen if I allowed my mind to slow down by just 5%?\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in </i><i>8</i><i>-15 degrees of</i> <b><i>Aries,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Libra, Capricorn</i></b><i>, or </i><b><i>Cancer?</i></b> <i>If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo, Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)\n</i>\n<b>Sunday at 2:29pm EDT</b>, we enter a <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>, that last for 4.5-hours, <b>until 6:57pm EDT</b>. Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\n\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday afternoon and early evening ahead of time.\n\n<b>Sunday at 6:57pm EDT</b>, <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey<b> <strong>until next week, Wednesday very early morning (April 4th).</strong></b><b> </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\n\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\n\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\n\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\n\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\n\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\n\nAlso, on<strong> Sunday</strong>: Last chance to join my <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-live/\">next Forecasting Forum, </a>live tomorrow, <b>Monday at 1pm EDT</b> (more details at the very bottom of the blog)…\n\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (April 2nd):</strong> <i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day</b><b> </b>(see Sunday evening for details). <b>Late morning</b>, a<i> </i><i>Mars/Saturn alignment in almost 9 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong> </i><i>becomes exact</i> at 11:44am EDT. <b>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday on, it will be strong until next week, Saturday (April 7th)</b><b>. </b>More about all the details in next week’s forecast ;-)\n<h3>One Last Announcement:</h3>\nJoin me for my next FORECASTING FORUM, <b>Monday</b>, <b>April 2nd, 2018 at </b>10am<b> </b>PDT/<b> 1pm EDT</b>/6pm BST (London-time).<b> </b>We will be talking about the upcoming<b> Station </b>and<b> Retrograde phases in April: </b>Saturn stations and goes retrograde in 9º of Capricorn, Pluto stations and goes retrograde in 21º of Capricorn -- and Mars (the warrior archetype) will join in as well!\n\nIf you want to know how to align yourself with these retrograde phases, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation.

Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can.\r\n\r\nFun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?<b>\r\n</b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 27th): </strong><em>t</em><em>he Moon remains in <i>fun and attention-loving </i><strong>Leo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday morning,</b> we are invited to make some internal adjustments. We may want to have some fun, but may also need to tune in to our intuitive inner voice. What do you hear when you get really quiet?\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday late morning, </b>things flow nicely; we feel excited about new adventures. We have an opportunity to connect, explore, and become part of something exciting.\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday evening, </b>feels a little uneasy. We need to develop an inner awareness around our two seemingly opposite pulls: on the one hand, a strong desire to accomplish; on the other, our need for play and fun.\r\n\r\nWe are asked to bring awareness to whatever it is we feel most passionate about: Are we after laughter and joy? Or intense and authentic emotion? As best as you can, make adjustments as needed, and drop any self-judgment.\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday  late evening, </b>we feel a need for acknowledgment and adoration... and also for deep, authentic -- even intimate -- connections to others.

You may also want to plan Wednesday morning ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday at 10:30am EDT</b>, <i>the Moon moves into detail-oriented, practical</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <b>until Friday afternoon</b>; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<b> </b><b>\r\n</b>\r\n<b>Wednesday evening</b>, a <i>Venus/Uranus </i><i>alignment</i><i> in 27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> becomes exact at 8:47pm. <b>We start feeling this aspect build from Monday evening on; it will be strong until Saturday evening (March 31st)</b>. This alignment gives us the opportunity to experiment with a new way of relating to others. Freedom plays a big part in our interactions with others.\r\n\r\nIt\'s a favorable time for social meetings and events. Do something different, something unusual, with one-on-one relationships -- break the routine -- and as you can imagine, you might experience some unexpected interactions during this time. As best as you can, stay open and flexible: Fresh air is blowing through your relationships.\r\n\r\nWe are also ready to experiment with regards to financial undertakings; good energetic matches include anything involving electronics, technology, the internet, metaphysics, the arts, and group activities in general.

Allow your mind to be clear and calm even if life puts up roadblocks or throws curveballs. Simplify daily routines as much as you can.\r\n\r\nWhat if you simply knew that you could handle whatever shows up? Would you rather have your old programming... or more clarity? Would you rather have inner and outer clutter, or inner and outer clarity? Where do you need more information?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in </i><i>5-</i><i>12</i><i> degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer? </i></b><i>If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Thursday,</b> <em>the Mercury Station ends (at </em><i>14 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b>). <i>Mercury resumes its normal pace through the sky</i> -- but moving backward through the sky, as seen from Earth (that’s what “retrograde” refers to).<i> </i>We have a chance to do some internal work on any thinking and/or communication issues that came up over the last couple of weeks, that were connected to our passions and personal goals.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (March 30th)</strong>: the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <b>Virgo</b><b> until 1:52pm EDT </b>(see Wednesday late morning for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Friday at 12:59am EDT</b>, we enter a <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that last for 13-hours, <b>until 1:52pm EDT</b>. Use this intuitive time to get organized, improve daily routines, and to develop more awareness of how that all fits in with expanding intimate connections with others.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday morning and early afternoon ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Friday at 1:52pm EDT</b>, <i>the Moon moves into relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>, where it will journey<b> </b><b>until Sunday evening.</b><b> </b>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts. This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the Full Moon</i> (exact on Saturday morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 31st)</strong>: <i>the Moon will remain in</i> <i>relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking </i><b>Libra </b><b>all day</b><b> </b>(see Friday afternoon for details).<b>\r\n</b>\r\n<b>Saturday at 12:54am EDT</b>,<b> </b><i>Venus moves from fast-paced, enthusiastic, active </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>into steady, sensual</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where she will journey <b>until April 24th.</b> For the next 3.5 weeks, we love receiving physical pleasures and comforts. Our relationships are centered around delicious foods, wine and sensuality.\r\n\r\n\"Simple and natural\" is key. Our financial issues and dealings are being carefully and lovingly considered, we are not easily persuaded to take risks, we\'d rather spend our money on a massage or a good meal.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel even more attracted to physical pleasures and comfort for the next 3.5 weeks. Your heart will want loyalty and consistency. Connecting to nature or anything simple and organic is going to feels especially comforting. </i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday (March 31st) at 8:37am EDT</b>, <i>the Full Moon in almost 11 degrees of</i> <b>Libra</b> becomes exact. All Full Moons bring an opportunity for awareness and integration of the traits connected to the the Full Moon polarities, especially those that have been neglected or suppressed.\r\n\r\nNow, this particular Full Moon also creates a T-Square with the Mars-Saturn alignment in <b>Capricorn</b>, and occurs in the midst of the Mercury Retrograde phase in <b>Aries, </b>conjunct with the Sun in<b> Aries</b>. So we have some very complex patterns here with this Full Moon and we will address all of them in a moment; <a href=\"https://youtu.be/fiqadkfHQHU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">feel free to also watch my very first Members-Only Full Moon video here</a>\r\n\r\nThe entrance of the Moon into Libra, on Friday early afternoon, started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon</i>;<i> the Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> opposes the Moon</i> <i>in </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>. The<b> Libra-Aries polarity</b> highlights the spiritual dance between self and other, masculine and feminine, independence and collaboration.\r\n\r\n<b>For the next two weeks,</b> we are looking for balance. The balance in question is between ourselves -- symbolized by <b>Aries</b> -- and others (<b>Libra</b>). It\'s important here to realize that relationships (symbolized by <b>Libra</b>) are essential to our existence -- and play a crucial role in defining and reaching our personal goals/desires (represented by <b>Aries</b>).\r\n\r\nWe are also invited to look at the balance of feminine and masculine within ourselves, our relationships, and our world. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Where has this gone out of balance? What happens when there is too much of one or both? Or too little?\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> calls us to look at the roles that “assertion\" and “independence” play in our lives. We\'re called to find ways to develop a healthy sense of self -- total honesty is crucial here, both with ourselves and with others. Allow the higher vibrations of Aries to shine through: courage, openness towards the new, directness, a healthy sense of identity. The spotlight is on us, so why not use it to see clearly, and be seen?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon in </i><b><i>Libra</i></b> emphasizes the need for collaboration: objectivity, consideration, equality, balance, justice, etc. As you can tell, the spotlight swings over to our relationships.\r\n\r\nNow, with <i>Mars (the ruler of Aries) so close to Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> (exact on April 2nd), and <i>Mercury so close to the Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> (exact on April 1st) -- and both of those alignments squaring each other -- we get an opportunity to stretch and grow, big time, within the next two weeks!\r\n\r\n<i>The Mars/Saturn alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> is a new two-year cycle of real-world, long-term physical manifestation. We are getting a chance to make new commitments, especially in the area of life corresponding to this aspect\'s placement in our own birth charts!\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What would a stable foundation for my projects look like? What might a desirable outcome look like? What is something truly responsible I could do (small or large)?\r\n\r\nFor those of you who get the Monthly Forecasting Forum as part of your membership, we\'ll be covering this personal impact in quite some detail next time (on April 2nd)!\r\n\r\n<i>Retrograde Mercury coming together with the Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> represents an opportunity to rethink our desires and realign with what we feel truly passionate about. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Who am I being in my relationships (including the one with me, myself, and I)? What do I communicate to others and myself? And what\'s my communication style? What calls for my awareness and attention when dealing with the apparent other?\r\n\r\nNow let\'s talk about the <i>T-square with Mars and Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> as the focal point</i>: Mars and Saturn squaring the Moon in <b>Libra,</b> and the Sun in <b>Aries</b>.\r\n\r\nThis T-square invites us to check in with our motivations and ambitions connected to long-term goals. We are feeling pulled between our personal desires, our one-on-one relationships with others (personal or business), and our long-term aspirations. Doing what\'s \"right\" is important to us at this time, but it may not always be in alignment with what we truly want for ourselves. Conflict can be a by-product of this challenging aspect, as it creates an internal tension.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> If the world needed something from me, what might that be? Are my ambitions interfering with my ability to connect with others? How can I stay true to myself while taking other people\'s needs into account? What if it were possible for me to take responsibility for my interactions without guilt?\r\n\r\nHere is something I read about, that I wanted to share (with some minor tweaks): A very powerful way of resolving relationship issues, whether past or present, is to resolve the situation within ourselves. In a meditative state, imagine sitting across from someone with whom you have unresolved feelings or issues. Either inwardly or verbally, express what is still in your heart. Allow yourself to say what you have been unable to or afraid to say.\r\n\r\nImagine speaking to <i>their</i> Soul-self, and imagine what their higher Self would say to you in response to what you shared. When that feels done, go back and forth, until you feel a sense of peace and completion. You will know you are finished when your body is fully relaxed and there is nothing left to feel or express but gratitude.\r\n\r\nThe beauty of this is that it doesn’t require the \"other\" to evolve or even be open-hearted -- furthermore, they don\'t even have to be present (or even alive-- we can do this even if they\'ve left the physical plane). Remember, on a soul-level we are pure love; we understand all and everything \"makes sense\". Why not experiment with this practice -- if it resonates, feel free to share your experience on my website via the comments there. Your insight might help somebody else have a breakthrough, and then we all get to experience that within our community and in the world.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go back to that T-square: given the \"<i>empty leg\" of this T-square lands in </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>,</i> we are invited to pay attention to our basic needs: the need for love and acceptance, for control (which sometimes shows up as not wanting to feel out of control), and our need for safety and security. We are reminded to nurture ourselves, especially our feeling body, and to be open to receiving support from familiar, trusted people -- as best as we can, of course.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> How might a commitment to my emotional well-being support me with my long-term goals and my relationships (including the one with myself)? Might nurturing myself help me step outside my comfort zone? If so, what modest daily practice might best provide that nurturing?\r\n\r\nWith so many planets in cardinal signs, we might feel overly active... They will keep us busy for sure -- in fact, it could end up being too much pressure, too many commitments and obligations. As best as you can, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself over the next two weeks. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I\'m doing the best I can, and by definition, that\'s the best I can do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you find that you are pushing yourself too hard, you might also <strong>ask yourself:</strong> When is enough, enough? Just for this moment, right now, could I focus on nurturing myself? Could I allow myself a break, before I break myself? Might that mean I come back stronger? Might that actually be more efficient in the long run? Could I try that quickly, just as an experiment?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus (the ruler of Libra), currently in </i><b><i>Taurus,</i></b> is helping us see how most struggles in relationships trace back to the relationship we have with ourselves: How worthy we feel, how valuable we think we are (just as we are, without needing to do anything, simply our presence, our being alive).\r\n\r\nThis placement facilitates recognizing that what we seek in our relationships is actually inside of us. It\'s the love that we seek to give and receive, and it starts with giving it to ourselves and being able to receive it from ourselves: All you need is Love!\r\n\r\nI invite you to do another little experiment here: As best as you can, stop for a moment and get as comfortable as possible, wherever you are. Now, simply <strong>ask yourself:</strong> Could I notice how much I dislike myself, to the extent I actually do? And as an experiment, how much could I love myself in this now moment? Simply go back and forth between those questions, alternating them repeatedly for several cycles. End on the \"love\" question... What did you notice as you alternated those questions?\r\n\r\nIf you feel out of tune with the wording of either question, feel free to replace the word \"dislike\" with \"hate\" and the word \"love\" with \"like\" (or whatever words works best for you). Go back and forth, until you feel completely neutral and at peace from within. This is not an exercise for the mind, so it doesn\'t require to understand it or to figure it out. As best as you can, let your heart lead you and see what happens.\r\n\r\nBy the way, those questions are drawn from The Sedona Method -- a technique I use a great deal in my coaching practice -- I love it because it\'s a simple, question-based technique you can learn in less than an hour, then use immediately and for the rest of your life.

If so, you may feel the effects of this Full Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (April 1st)</strong>: <i>the Moon will remain in </i><i>relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i> </i><b><i>until 6:57pm EDT</i></b><i> (see Friday afternoon for details).</i>\r\n\r\n<b><i>Sunday afternoon</i></b><i>, a Sun/Mercury</i><i> </i><i>alignment</i><i> </i><i>in 11.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> becomes exact </i><i>at 1:53pm EDT</i><i>. </i><b><i>We started to feel this aspect build from </i></b><b><i>Friday</i></b><b><i> (March </i></b><b><i>30th)</i></b><b><i> on, it will will be strong until </i></b><b><i>next week Tuesday (April 3rd).</i></b><b><i> </i></b><i>When the Sun and Mercury come together, we are especially sharp, communicative, and open. This aspect indicates a confident mind and an analytical approach to life. Intelligence and communication abilities are strong at this time; however, we may not listen as well as the other speaks -- we might be too busy thinking about what to say next.</i>\r\n\r\nIn general, we have a strong need to take an active role in communications -- it is very hard for us to passively listen and absorb information right now. What we say or write now is impactful, so choose your words as if people hung on every one. If they really, truly did... what would you say then? What might you hold back from saying?\r\n\r\nOur opinions are usually strong during this time; we like to think independently and are proud of our opinions and our thoughts. For this reason, our egos might get bruised if we are not \"heard\" -- if our opinions are pushed aside, ignored or criticized.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have different opinions… and that\'s ok. We may be particularly impulsive during this time... but rushing in may not serve us. For those four days, ask yourself: What might happen if I allowed my mind to slow down by just 5%?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in </i><i>8</i><i>-15 degrees of</i> <b><i>Aries,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Libra, Capricorn</i></b><i>, or </i><b><i>Cancer?</i></b> <i>If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo, Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)\r\n</i>\r\n<b>Sunday at 2:29pm EDT</b>, we enter a <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>, that last for 4.5-hours, <b>until 6:57pm EDT</b>. Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday afternoon and early evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday at 6:57pm EDT</b>, <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey<b> <strong>until next week, Wednesday very early morning (April 4th).</strong></b><b> </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\nAlso, on<strong> Sunday</strong>: Last chance to join my <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-live/\">next Forecasting Forum, </a>live tomorrow, <b>Monday at 1pm EDT</b> (more details at the very bottom of the blog)…\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (April 2nd):</strong> <i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day</b><b> </b>(see Sunday evening for details). <b>Late morning</b>, a<i> </i><i>Mars/Saturn alignment in almost 9 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong> </i><i>becomes exact</i> at 11:44am EDT. <b>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday on, it will be strong until next week, Saturday (April 7th)</b><b>. </b>More about all the details in next week’s forecast ;-)\r\n<h3>One Last Announcement:</h3>\r\nJoin me for my next FORECASTING FORUM, <b>Monday</b>, <b>April 2nd, 2018 at </b>10am<b> </b>PDT/<b> 1pm EDT</b>/6pm BST (London-time).<b> </b>We will be talking about the upcoming<b> Station </b>and<b> Retrograde phases in April: </b>Saturn stations and goes retrograde in 9º of Capricorn, Pluto stations and goes retrograde in 21º of Capricorn -- and Mars (the warrior archetype) will join in as well!\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how to align yourself with these retrograde phases, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation.

Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<b>Monday at 2:58am EDT</b>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for almost 5 hours, <b>until 7:45am EDT</b>. Use this intuitive time to make adjustments and (as best as you can) find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. Make space both for going after your vision and for taking care of emotional or family issues.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday morning ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 7:45am EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <b>until Wednesday late morning.</b><b> </b>We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-) So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can.\r\n\r\nFun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?<b>\r\n</b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (March 27th): </strong><em>t</em><em>he Moon remains in <i>fun and attention-loving </i><strong>Leo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday morning,</b> we are invited to make some internal adjustments. We may want to have some fun, but may also need to tune in to our intuitive inner voice. What do you hear when you get really quiet?\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday late morning, </b>things flow nicely; we feel excited about new adventures. We have an opportunity to connect, explore, and become part of something exciting.\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday evening, </b>feels a little uneasy. We need to develop an inner awareness around our two seemingly opposite pulls: on the one hand, a strong desire to accomplish; on the other, our need for play and fun.\r\n\r\nWe are asked to bring awareness to whatever it is we feel most passionate about: Are we after laughter and joy? Or intense and authentic emotion? As best as you can, make adjustments as needed, and drop any self-judgment.\r\n\r\n<b>Tuesday  late evening, </b>we feel a need for acknowledgment and adoration... and also for deep, authentic -- even intimate -- connections to others. As best as you can, get creative!\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (March 28th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo</i></b> <b>until 10:30am EDT </b>(see Monday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday at 5:54am EDT</b>, we enter a <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>, that last for almost 4.5 hours, <b>until 10:30am EDT</b>.

You may also want to plan Wednesday morning ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Wednesday at 10:30am EDT</b>, <i>the Moon moves into detail-oriented, practical</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <b>until Friday afternoon</b>; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<b> </b><b>\r\n</b>\r\n<b>Wednesday evening</b>, a <i>Venus/Uranus </i><i>alignment</i><i> in 27 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> becomes exact at 8:47pm. <b>We start feeling this aspect build from Monday evening on; it will be strong until Saturday evening (March 31st)</b>. This alignment gives us the opportunity to experiment with a new way of relating to others. Freedom plays a big part in our interactions with others.\r\n\r\nIt\'s a favorable time for social meetings and events. Do something different, something unusual, with one-on-one relationships -- break the routine -- and as you can imagine, you might experience some unexpected interactions during this time. As best as you can, stay open and flexible: Fresh air is blowing through your relationships.\r\n\r\nWe are also ready to experiment with regards to financial undertakings; good energetic matches include anything involving electronics, technology, the internet, metaphysics, the arts, and group activities in general.

Allow your mind to be clear and calm even if life puts up roadblocks or throws curveballs. Simplify daily routines as much as you can.\r\n\r\nWhat if you simply knew that you could handle whatever shows up? Would you rather have your old programming... or more clarity?

Use this intuitive time to get organized, improve daily routines, and to develop more awareness of how that all fits in with expanding intimate connections with others.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday morning and early afternoon ahead of time ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Friday at 1:52pm EDT</b>, <i>the Moon moves into relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>, where it will journey<b> </b><b>until Sunday evening.</b><b> </b>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts. This Moon placement also <i>starts the build up towards the Full Moon</i> (exact on Saturday morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (March 31st)</strong>: <i>the Moon will remain in</i> <i>relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking </i><b>Libra </b><b>all day</b><b> </b>(see Friday afternoon for details).<b>\r\n</b>\r\n<b>Saturday at 12:54am EDT</b>,<b> </b><i>Venus moves from fast-paced, enthusiastic, active </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>into steady, sensual</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where she will journey <b>until April 24th.</b> For the next 3.5 weeks, we love receiving physical pleasures and comforts. Our relationships are centered around delicious foods, wine and sensuality.\r\n\r\n\"Simple and natural\" is key. Our financial issues and dealings are being carefully and lovingly considered, we are not easily persuaded to take risks, we\'d rather spend our money on a massage or a good meal.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel even more attracted to physical pleasures and comfort for the next 3.5 weeks. Your heart will want loyalty and consistency. Connecting to nature or anything simple and organic is going to feels especially comforting. </i>\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday (March 31st) at 8:37am EDT</b>, <i>the Full Moon in almost 11 degrees of</i> <b>Libra</b> becomes exact. All Full Moons bring an opportunity for awareness and integration of the traits connected to the the Full Moon polarities, especially those that have been neglected or suppressed.\r\n\r\nNow, this particular Full Moon also creates a T-Square with the Mars-Saturn alignment in <b>Capricorn</b>, and occurs in the midst of the Mercury Retrograde phase in <b>Aries, </b>conjunct with the Sun in<b> Aries</b>. So we have some very complex patterns here with this Full Moon and we will address all of them in a moment; <a href=\"https://youtu.be/fiqadkfHQHU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">feel free to also watch my very first Members-Only Full Moon video here</a>\r\n\r\nThe entrance of the Moon into Libra, on Friday early afternoon, started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon</i>;<i> the Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> opposes the Moon</i> <i>in </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>. The<b> Libra-Aries polarity</b> highlights the spiritual dance between self and other, masculine and feminine, independence and collaboration.\r\n\r\n<b>For the next two weeks,</b> we are looking for balance. The balance in question is between ourselves -- symbolized by <b>Aries</b> -- and others (<b>Libra</b>). It\'s important here to realize that relationships (symbolized by <b>Libra</b>) are essential to our existence -- and play a crucial role in defining and reaching our personal goals/desires (represented by <b>Aries</b>).\r\n\r\nWe are also invited to look at the balance of feminine and masculine within ourselves, our relationships, and our world. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Where has this gone out of balance? What happens when there is too much of one or both? Or too little?\r\n\r\n<i>The Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> calls us to look at the roles that “assertion\" and “independence” play in our lives. We\'re called to find ways to develop a healthy sense of self -- total honesty is crucial here, both with ourselves and with others. Allow the higher vibrations of Aries to shine through: courage, openness towards the new, directness, a healthy sense of identity. The spotlight is on us, so why not use it to see clearly, and be seen?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon in </i><b><i>Libra</i></b> emphasizes the need for collaboration: objectivity, consideration, equality, balance, justice, etc. As you can tell, the spotlight swings over to our relationships.\r\n\r\nNow, with <i>Mars (the ruler of Aries) so close to Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> (exact on April 2nd), and <i>Mercury so close to the Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> (exact on April 1st) -- and both of those alignments squaring each other -- we get an opportunity to stretch and grow, big time, within the next two weeks!\r\n\r\n<i>The Mars/Saturn alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b> is a new two-year cycle of real-world, long-term physical manifestation. We are getting a chance to make new commitments, especially in the area of life corresponding to this aspect\'s placement in our own birth charts!\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> What would a stable foundation for my projects look like? What might a desirable outcome look like? What is something truly responsible I could do (small or large)?\r\n\r\nFor those of you who get the Monthly Forecasting Forum as part of your membership, we\'ll be covering this personal impact in quite some detail next time (on April 2nd)!\r\n\r\n<i>Retrograde Mercury coming together with the Sun in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> represents an opportunity to rethink our desires and realign with what we feel truly passionate about. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Who am I being in my relationships (including the one with me, myself, and I)? What do I communicate to others and myself? And what\'s my communication style? What calls for my awareness and attention when dealing with the apparent other?\r\n\r\nNow let\'s talk about the <i>T-square with Mars and Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> as the focal point</i>: Mars and Saturn squaring the Moon in <b>Libra,</b> and the Sun in <b>Aries</b>.\r\n\r\nThis T-square invites us to check in with our motivations and ambitions connected to long-term goals. We are feeling pulled between our personal desires, our one-on-one relationships with others (personal or business), and our long-term aspirations. Doing what\'s \"right\" is important to us at this time, but it may not always be in alignment with what we truly want for ourselves. Conflict can be a by-product of this challenging aspect, as it creates an internal tension.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> If the world needed something from me, what might that be? Are my ambitions interfering with my ability to connect with others? How can I stay true to myself while taking other people\'s needs into account? What if it were possible for me to take responsibility for my interactions without guilt?\r\n\r\nHere is something I read about, that I wanted to share (with some minor tweaks): A very powerful way of resolving relationship issues, whether past or present, is to resolve the situation within ourselves. In a meditative state, imagine sitting across from someone with whom you have unresolved feelings or issues. Either inwardly or verbally, express what is still in your heart. Allow yourself to say what you have been unable to or afraid to say.\r\n\r\nImagine speaking to <i>their</i> Soul-self, and imagine what their higher Self would say to you in response to what you shared. When that feels done, go back and forth, until you feel a sense of peace and completion. You will know you are finished when your body is fully relaxed and there is nothing left to feel or express but gratitude.\r\n\r\nThe beauty of this is that it doesn’t require the \"other\" to evolve or even be open-hearted -- furthermore, they don\'t even have to be present (or even alive-- we can do this even if they\'ve left the physical plane). Remember, on a soul-level we are pure love; we understand all and everything \"makes sense\". Why not experiment with this practice -- if it resonates, feel free to share your experience on my website via the comments there. Your insight might help somebody else have a breakthrough, and then we all get to experience that within our community and in the world.\r\n\r\nNow, let\'s go back to that T-square: given the \"<i>empty leg\" of this T-square lands in </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>,</i> we are invited to pay attention to our basic needs: the need for love and acceptance, for control (which sometimes shows up as not wanting to feel out of control), and our need for safety and security. We are reminded to nurture ourselves, especially our feeling body, and to be open to receiving support from familiar, trusted people -- as best as we can, of course.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask yourself:</strong> How might a commitment to my emotional well-being support me with my long-term goals and my relationships (including the one with myself)? Might nurturing myself help me step outside my comfort zone? If so, what modest daily practice might best provide that nurturing?\r\n\r\nWith so many planets in cardinal signs, we might feel overly active... They will keep us busy for sure -- in fact, it could end up being too much pressure, too many commitments and obligations. As best as you can, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself over the next two weeks. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I\'m doing the best I can, and by definition, that\'s the best I can do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nIf you find that you are pushing yourself too hard, you might also <strong>ask yourself:</strong> When is enough, enough? Just for this moment, right now, could I focus on nurturing myself? Could I allow myself a break, before I break myself? Might that mean I come back stronger? Might that actually be more efficient in the long run? Could I try that quickly, just as an experiment?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus (the ruler of Libra), currently in </i><b><i>Taurus,</i></b> is helping us see how most struggles in relationships trace back to the relationship we have with ourselves: How worthy we feel, how valuable we think we are (just as we are, without needing to do anything, simply our presence, our being alive).\r\n\r\nThis placement facilitates recognizing that what we seek in our relationships is actually inside of us. It\'s the love that we seek to give and receive, and it starts with giving it to ourselves and being able to receive it from ourselves: All you need is Love!\r\n\r\nI invite you to do another little experiment here: As best as you can, stop for a moment and get as comfortable as possible, wherever you are. Now, simply <strong>ask yourself:</strong> Could I notice how much I dislike myself, to the extent I actually do? And as an experiment, how much could I love myself in this now moment? Simply go back and forth between those questions, alternating them repeatedly for several cycles. End on the \"love\" question... What did you notice as you alternated those questions?\r\n\r\nIf you feel out of tune with the wording of either question, feel free to replace the word \"dislike\" with \"hate\" and the word \"love\" with \"like\" (or whatever words works best for you). Go back and forth, until you feel completely neutral and at peace from within. This is not an exercise for the mind, so it doesn\'t require to understand it or to figure it out. As best as you can, let your heart lead you and see what happens.\r\n\r\nBy the way, those questions are drawn from The Sedona Method -- a technique I use a great deal in my coaching practice -- I love it because it\'s a simple, question-based technique you can learn in less than an hour, then use immediately and for the rest of your life.

If so, you may feel the effects of this Full Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (April 1st)</strong>: <i>the Moon will remain in </i><i>relationship-oriented, harmony-seeking </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i> </i><b><i>until 6:57pm EDT</i></b><i> (see Friday afternoon for details).</i>\r\n\r\n<b><i>Sunday afternoon</i></b><i>, a Sun/Mercury</i><i> </i><i>alignment</i><i> </i><i>in 11.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> becomes exact </i><i>at 1:53pm EDT</i><i>. </i><b><i>We started to feel this aspect build from </i></b><b><i>Friday</i></b><b><i> (March </i></b><b><i>30th)</i></b><b><i> on, it will will be strong until </i></b><b><i>next week Tuesday (April 3rd).</i></b><b><i> </i></b><i>When the Sun and Mercury come together, we are especially sharp, communicative, and open. This aspect indicates a confident mind and an analytical approach to life. Intelligence and communication abilities are strong at this time; however, we may not listen as well as the other speaks -- we might be too busy thinking about what to say next.</i>\r\n\r\nIn general, we have a strong need to take an active role in communications -- it is very hard for us to passively listen and absorb information right now. What we say or write now is impactful, so choose your words as if people hung on every one. If they really, truly did... what would you say then? What might you hold back from saying?\r\n\r\nOur opinions are usually strong during this time; we like to think independently and are proud of our opinions and our thoughts. For this reason, our egos might get bruised if we are not \"heard\" -- if our opinions are pushed aside, ignored or criticized.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, express yourself fully, knowing that others may have different opinions… and that\'s ok. We may be particularly impulsive during this time... but rushing in may not serve us. For those four days, ask yourself: What might happen if I allowed my mind to slow down by just 5%?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in </i><i>8</i><i>-15 degrees of</i> <b><i>Aries,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Libra, Capricorn</i></b><i>, or </i><b><i>Cancer?</i></b> <i>If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo, Gemini</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo)\r\n</i>\r\n<b>Sunday at 2:29pm EDT</b>, we enter a <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>, that last for 4.5-hours, <b>until 6:57pm EDT</b>. Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday afternoon and early evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<b>Sunday at 6:57pm EDT</b>, <i>the Moon moves into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>, where it will journey<b> <strong>until next week, Wednesday very early morning (April 4th).</strong></b><b> </b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\nAlso, on<strong> Sunday</strong>: Last chance to join my <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-live/\">next Forecasting Forum, </a>live tomorrow, <b>Monday at 1pm EDT</b> (more details at the very bottom of the blog)…\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (April 2nd):</strong> <i>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> </i><b>all day</b><b> </b>(see Sunday evening for details). <b>Late morning</b>, a<i> </i><i>Mars/Saturn alignment in almost 9 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong> </i><i>becomes exact</i> at 11:44am EDT. <b>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday on, it will be strong until next week, Saturday (April 7th)</b><b>. </b>More about all the details in next week’s forecast ;-)\r\n<h3>One Last Announcement:</h3>\r\nJoin me for my next FORECASTING FORUM, <b>Monday</b>, <b>April 2nd, 2018 at </b>10am<b> </b>PDT/<b> 1pm EDT</b>/6pm BST (London-time).<b> </b>We will be talking about the upcoming<b> Station </b>and<b> Retrograde phases in April: </b>Saturn stations and goes retrograde in 9º of Capricorn, Pluto stations and goes retrograde in 21º of Capricorn -- and Mars (the warrior archetype) will join in as well!\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how to align yourself with these retrograde phases, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation.

Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 10:56pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for almost 12.5- hours, <strong>until 11:20am EDT </strong>(Tuesday late morning)<strong>. </strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">If you are awake during this intuitive time, use it as an opportunity to digg deep into your personal motivations and focus those feelings on your long-term goals. </span>\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late evening,</strong> <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 10:24pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Tuesday early morning on, it will be strong until Wednesday evening. </strong>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward, and need to make a choice; we must develop inner awareness to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\nIt can be hard to see what we are actually responsible for in relationships, so we sometimes take on unnecessary responsibilities, to ensure the relationships continue. We may ask ourselves: \"Do people like me for myself, or for what I do for them?\" If you\'re confused on this point (or any point), as best as you can, keep choosing the \"better\" alternative and make adjustments as necessary.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>8-10 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 2nd):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking <strong>Sagittarius</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday early morning, </strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">we are being asked to find a balance between our need to venture beyond our day-to-day mind, and our desire for being stimulated via mental interactions with others.</span><em><strong> </strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">(Moon in <strong>Sagittarius</strong> opposes Venus in <strong>Gemini</strong></span></em><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong> at 5:21am EDT -- post at 4am EDT)</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late morning, </strong>we experience a need for inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice.\r\n\r\nMaking this choice demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to mentally explore and go beyond what we already know — and on the other hand, the need to keep it real and connected to the physical plane. <span style=\"color: #993300;\"><em>(Moon in <strong>Sagittarius</strong> quincunxes the Sun in <strong>Taurus</strong></em><strong> at 10:49am EDT -- post at 9am EDT)</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday evening,</strong><em> </em>we may need to make some adjustments again. As best you can, honor both your need for adventure and exploration of life <i>and</i> your need to go within.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nYou may also feel a pull between introvert and extrovert, or simply fast and slow. Tune in for a moment and see if you need to take a break or at least slow down a little.

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\nAlso<strong> on Thursday</strong>, <em>Mercury\'s shadow phase ends</em>.<em> </em>As you may recall, on April 15th, when Mercury stationed direct, I mentioned Mercury shadow phases as well: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it\'s best to avoid the periods shortly before Mercury goes retrograde and after Mercury goes direct. This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.)\r\n\r\nThe good news is, this shadow phase ends<b> </b>today (<strong>Thursday evening</strong>), when Mercury reaches 16º54\' of <b>Aries.</b> This means that we can finally go ahead and book those plane tickets -- or buy that new car or iPhone (or anything else communication- or transportation-related). We can also more easily take in new information, so teaching, sharing and learning will be more effective. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">Click here to read my blog on the subject</a>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (May 4th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </em><strong>Capricorn</strong><strong> all day (</strong>see Thursday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<em>The Moon in <strong>Capricorn</strong> conjuncts Saturn in <strong>Capricorn</strong></em><strong> at 4:02pm EDT</strong>\r\n<em>The Moon in <strong>Capricorn</strong> quincunxes Venus in <strong>Gemini</strong></em><strong> at 11:38pm EDT</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (May 5th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </em><strong>Capricorn</strong><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday morning</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Mercury/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 7:05am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday morning on, it will remain strong until Sunday morning.</strong>\r\n<em>18-20 degrees</em>\r\n\r\nAlso<strong> on Saturday,</strong> <em>Pluto\'s station phase ends at 21 degrees of <strong>Capricorn.</strong></em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 6th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </em><strong>Capricorn</strong> <strong>until 10:48am EDT</strong> (see Thursday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 9:48am EDT</strong>, we enter a brief <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC),</a> that last for an hour, <strong>until 10:48am EDT</strong>.

We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681674\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681676\">But... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681677\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681679\">It\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.<b> </b></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681680\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681682\"><b>Tuesday (October 3rd)</b>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><i></i><b><i>Pisces </i></b><b>all day </b><b></b>(see Monday late morning for details).</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681683\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681685\"><b>Tuesday mid-afternoon, </b><i>a harmonious Venus/Pluto aspect </i><b></b>becomes exact at 3:09pm EDT.<b> We started to feel this aspect from last Sunday on; it will remain strong until this Saturday. </b>This aspect brings a fruitful and rewarding period in our lives. We experience new depths of intimacy (with an existing or new partner), we learn to appreciate the important people in our lives, and our value system transforms and evolves.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681686\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681688\">This is likely an excellent period for finances as well. Work we\'ve done might pay off, and we are able to manage our finances better, with more attention to detail, planning and strategy -- as well as the elimination of anything that no longer serves us. We might renew a commitment, or bring new, deeper and more intimate energy into a relationship under the influence of this aspect.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681689\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681691\">Our sexual lives might get a real boost now, as we tend to want to connect on a deeper level. We might find ourselves strongly attracted to someone, almost to the point of obsession. If this aspect connects with any of your personal planets, you might just meet the \"love of your life\".</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681692\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681694\">One thing is for sure -- relationships experienced now are bound to be unforgettable. While this transit tends to signal new or strengthened relationships, any relationship that ends during this cycle may leave us feeling liberated.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681695\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681697\"><i>Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in </i><i>14-20 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Virgo, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> will be most blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Venus being the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681698\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681700\"><b>Wednesday (October 4th)</b>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><i></i><b><i>Pisces </i>until </b><b>4:40pm </b>(see Monday late morning for details).</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681701\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681703\"><b>Wednesday at 3:19am EDT, </b>we enter a <a class=\"userlink\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/moon-void-of-course/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 13 hours <b>until 4:40pm EDT</b>. We are pulled in two quite different directions: On the one hand, we experience a desire for inner silence, emotional oneness, and the flow of creativity through us. On the other hand, we want to explore our belief structures and how they relate to the outside world.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681705\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681707\">We may therefore feel anxious or restless; as best as you can, slow down, acknowledge what is, know that all is well in each \"now moment\".</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681708\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681710\">Use this intuitive time to make adjustments and find creative solutions when it comes to these energies.

Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681714\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681716\">Our independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681717\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681719\">If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the Full Moon (exact on Thursday afternoon). <a class=\"userlink\" href=\"https://youtu.be/T6Xu8HmU7E4\">Click here to watch my Full Moon video</a></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681721\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681723\"><b>Wednesday late evening, </b><i>a somewhat challenging Sun/Neptune aspect </i><b></b>becomes exact at 11:09pm EDT.<b> We started to feel this aspect from Tuesday night on; it will remain strong until Thursday night. </b>This aspect feels \"internal\" -- inner unease and awkwardness -- and we need to make a choice. Given that it is an internal issue, we need to develop an inner awareness, if we’re to see what needs adjusting.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681724\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681726\">Our energy tends to be unrealistically directed -- and our sense of self may actually change as we learn that we have wrongly assessed important situations. Our self-trust could takes a hit at this time.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681727\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681729\">Due to our high ideals, we may take on more than we can physically handle -- if we start to feel drained or frustrated, it might be helpful to look at the overall direction we are taking. Do your best to rest and have quiet time alongside your interactions with others.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681730\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681732\">It is also worthwhile to look for how our ideas are being received by others: Can we involve them in creating/realizing our dreams? Perhaps we are not sure whether we want to keep dreaming our dream privately, or share it with others... As best as you can, slow down: where there is spaciousness, there is flow; where there is flow, there is effortless creation.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681733\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681735\"><i>Do you have your Career Point (or personal planets) in </i><i>11-13 degrees</i><i> of</i><b><i> Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces</i></b><i>?

Generally, a Full Moon brings our attention to our \"emotional body” increasing our awareness of what has been suppressed or ignored. <a class=\"userlink\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/full-moon/full-moon-in-aries-oct-2017-having-autonomy/\">Feel free to also watch my video on the subject</a></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681760\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681762\"><b>The Aries/Libra polarity</b> directs that awareness to the roles we identify with in our various one-on-one relationships — and this Full Moon is thus a call to take action on those roles, perhaps even redefine them.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681763\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681765\">In particular, it brings the focus to \"independence\": Where do we need to be more assertive? More accommodating? Where have we been too independent? Too dependent? What roles or contracts need to be revisited?</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681766\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681768\">This also involves the balance of feminine and masculine energies within ourselves, our relationships, and our world. Where in your life is one of these out of balance? What happens when there is too much masculine? Too much feminine?</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681769\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681771\">Something else to bear in mind about this Full Moon: not only is <i>the Sun</i> in opposition to the Moon in Aries, it is also <i>aligned with Mercury in </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681772\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681774\">This is a call for exploration of loving, equal, mutually beneficial relationships and partnerships — and a good time to resolve conflicts, especially within our one-on-one relationships: What is calling to be resolved?</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681775\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681777\">That said, the strongest message of this Full Moon is definitely that healthy relationship with our own inner feminine and masculine energies. What if you already knew how to experience this balance?</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681778\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681780\"><i>Mars</i> (the ruler of Aries) <i>and Venus </i>(the ruler of Libra)<i> are both currently in </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>,</i> closely aligned<i>,</i><i>squaring Saturn in </i><b><i>Sagittarius, </i></b><i>opposing Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces, </i></b><i>and</i><b><i></i></b><i>trining Pluto in</i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681781\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681783\">So let\'s talk first about the <i>Venus/Mars alignment in </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>: </i>this indicates a marriage of courage and collaboration, inviting us to allow the masculine (active/doing/asserting) and feminine (receiving/allowing/being) to work together and be of service to each other. We have a chance to express our needs, passions, and desires now in more effective ways and are more likely to get things done well.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681784\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681786\">Given that this combo is taking place in Virgo, we prefer to take a realistic approach to things, aiming all our passion and love toward excellence, and enjoying the details. We definitely also have a desire to help and serve others rights now.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681787\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681789\">Things to watch out for though: sweating the details, worrying, and being extra-critical of ourselves and others when something doesn’t get done \"right\".</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681790\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681792\">The last time we experienced this alignment was back in<b> Nov. 2015: </b>Was there a new beginning back then, in regards to how your feminine and masculine energies operate and collaborate? What has shifted for you since then?</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681793\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681795\">Mars and Venus <i>square Saturn in </i><b><i>Sagittarius; </i></b>this combo invites us to stretch and grow.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681796\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681798\">We are learning to live life in moderation... and this might be frustrating at first, if we develop the sense that we don\'t have \"enough\" (experiences, knowledge, expertise, success, etc...) What’s more, Virgo’s perfectionism might also make it difficult to know when it might actually be “enough”.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681799\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681801\">Ask yourself: What if I was inherently already (and always) enough? Would that knowledge allow me to step off the merry-go-round?</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681802\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681804\">How might it benefit me to slow down and take it one step at a time? What hasn\'t been said yet? How could I communicate that from a place of maturity and self-responsibility -- without being rigid?</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681805\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681807\">Mars and Venus <i>oppose Chiron in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>: </i>We are asked to embrace the “power of love”, that comes from allowing ourselves to be human and accepting our limitations -- loving ourselves “because” of all that, rather than \"despite\" it.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681808\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681810\">Chiron is supporting us with healing and the integration of issues around the feminine/masculine balance that we all need to feel whole, that helps us to function better out there in the world. This is definitely a favorable time for practicing forgiveness, both towards others and toward ourselves; what if, in fact, there was nothing to forgive? What if everything were already forgiven?</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681811\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681813\">We are invited to deeply appreciate the partnership with the Earth and all of life. Ask yourself: What am I able to feel when I tune into all of life around me? How can I bring a kind and loving approach to myself as I allow myself to experience human frailty?</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681814\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681816\">Mars and Venus <i>trine</i><i>Pluto in </i><b><i>Capricorn. </i></b>This<b><i> </i></b>allows for a flow between our actions and ability to be of service, and our collective Soul Purpose of building an empowered society that is emotionally connected to (even passionate about) achieving something great and lasting, that works for everyone.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681817\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681819\">This is a very practical combo that reminds us we are all born onto a living, breathing entity that is our home and that we must protect and nourish, if we want to continue being supported by its resources. What might being of service to my own body and the body of the planet I live on look like? How might this approach bring about a better future for generations to come?</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681820\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681822\"><i>Pluto in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>, still exalted in the sky until Oct. 10th, <i>squares the Full Moon and Mercury in </i><b><i>Libra</i></b><i>... </i>This is also a \"stretch aspect\" -- it invites us to connect to ourselves from within, even though there is so much that pulls us into other directions.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681823\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681825\"><b>Aries &amp; Libra</b> are both extroverted, social signs -- and Pluto in <b>Capricorn</b> asks us to feel fully empowered in the world. In order to do that, we need to first bring empowerment to our emotional body and get clear about what we need on that level, vs. what we want (i.e our desires.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681826\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681828\">Ask yourself: How might I be able to strengthen my connection to the wisdom of my body? To my inner roots? What activities might help me feel more grounded and safe in the world? How can I nurture myself to the point that I am at once connected to others and yet completely independent? What would it look like to stand in my power <i>and </i>grow and evolve with the support of others?</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681829\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681831\">Pluto represents our deepest empowerment process -- it\'s where we face our worst fears, own our shadow (all that has been suppressed or denied), and align with our divine purpose. We may feel impatient (or even obsessive) right now about our career goals. Suppressed desires may surface and demand action.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681832\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681834\">What am I most scared about, when it comes to my accomplishments? Am I allowing myself to listen to the deepest calling of my Soul?</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681835\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681837\">As best you can, choose words carefully, speaking from a deeply connected and empowered place. Choose love over fear whenever possible. Ask: could I nurture myself -- mentally, physically and emotionally — such that I feel safe and loved? Maybe like a healthy parent cradling a baby…?</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681838\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681840\">Some more questions you can ask yourself: Could I let go of wanting to control another\'s experience? Could I allow myself to have productive discussions rather than controversy? What might complete honesty and transparency make possible? What does mutual empowerment look like to me?</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681841\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681843\">There is also a <i>Jupiter/Uranus opposition in </i><b><i>Libra/Aries.</i></b> This asks us to be brave -- willing to take risks, explore new alternatives, access our courage and think outside the box.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681844\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681846\">This also generates lots of core energy and enthusiasm, inspiring us to break free from conventional, outdated social structures, especially the roles we play. We might need more independence in our relationships. As best as you can, use this energy to initiate new, exciting relationships -- including the \"relationship\" with yourself.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681847\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681849\">What does \"new and unexpected\" look like to me? How could I generate change without discounting input from others? Could I allow myself to be with what I see, without acting impulsively or erratically to force change?</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681850\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681852\">As <i>Jupiter moves into the last degree of </i><b><i>Libra</i></b>, it\'s energy becomes more exalted; it is getting ready to leave this sign of balance, equality and justice. You could say it is about to have its last hurrah in \"maybe this, maybe that?” Libra, before it moves into all-or-nothing Scorpio on Oct. 10th for a little over a year.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681853\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681855\">We will address Jupiter\'s journey through Scorpio in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum on Oct. 6th. Feel free to join us; I especially recommend it if you have Scorpio or Sagittarius as your Sun, Moon or Rising-sign. <a class=\"userlink\" href=\"http://goo.gl/O7mDgJ\"><b>To register now, click here </b></a></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681857\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681859\">To sum it all up for this Full Moon: We are in a critical phase of our spiritual growth process, in which we are asked to release all that is holding us back… This means dysfunctional and restrictive relationships, addictions and negative habits, thought patterns -- and possessions that take up too much of our time, effort and sense of inner abundance. As best as you can, see this an an opportunity; allow, rather than resist ;-)</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681860\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681862\">And if nothing else, do your best to remember that we all signed up for this journey to become a spiritual, fully human adult that exists in an ever-expanding, multidimensional realm of physicality… not always an easy feat...</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681863\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681865\">Take a deep breath and allow yourself to see the irony and paradox of \"life\". And, as best as you can, take responsibility for your thought forms, remain curious <i>and</i> nurture yourself, dig deeper to truly understand your own emotional needs, so you can connect to others and yourself from a place of strength and autonomy.

Sometimes, imagination and mind can run way ahead of what is actually feasible (and sensible). At these times, the grand vision is best served by focusing on the next concrete step, accepting our own idiosyncrasies as we go.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681879\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681881\">Honesty is crucial here, especially self-honesty; inner awareness is in turn crucial to deep honesty and authenticity. What\'s true for you? What might be possible for humanity? Where do those overlap?</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681882\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681884\">Note that I say \"overlap\": Don\'t look for an exact fit, this is more like two puzzle pieces that came from different jigsaw puzzles. You might keep looking at the imperfect fit and feel a nagging sense that something doesn\'t make sense… and it doesn\'t -- it can\'t. The pieces are not from the same game. Just do your best to \"hang out\" with the discomfort, rather than repeatedly trying to figure it out and fix it.</div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681885\"></div>\n<div id=\"ctrl-681887\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in </i><i>11-13 degrees</i><i> of</i><b><i> Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces</i></b><i>?

Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late morning</strong>, <em>a Mars/Saturn alignment in almost 9 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> becomes exact at 11:44am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last Thursday (March 29th) on, it will be strong until this Saturday (April 7th)</strong>. This is a message to take it slow and steady and bring some focus to our endeavors.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">The last Mars/Saturn cycle started in late August 2016, in almost 10 degrees of Sagittarius; it is now coming to an end, and the new cycle will last until late March 2020.</span>\r\n\r\nWe need to learn to harness our enthusiasm and look at the reality of things. If we want to make progress right now, we need to take it one step at a time. As best as you can, be sure to build a solid foundation before zooming ahead.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">Given that this alignment is taking place in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, we are taking a closer look at real world, long-term physical manifestation. We are invited to look at the practical implications of our actions. We must recognize that our undivided focus towards these things can help us achieve our goals just as much as our talents and ambition. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">This is also therefore a great time to commit to a new project that is connected to social responsibilities, or career building; it could also be connected to government or social structures.</span>\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What would a stable foundation for my projects look like? What is something truly responsible I could do (small or large)?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in 6-12 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></i><b><i><strong>,</strong> Cancer, Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i> will be most affected by this alignment.

Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:05am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Sunday evening (April 1st)</span> on; it will remain strong until this Saturday </strong><b><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">morning</span>.</b> This aspect<i> </i>could bring some juicy energy to our conversations -- a chance to have some discussions that have been overdue.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, make it a productive discussion that serves you and others -- a win-win -- otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards.

If you\'d like to learn how these major two planetary shifts might impact you personally, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/chiron-in-aries-uranus-in-taurus-until-2026-15-minute-excerpt/\">you may want to catch this free 15-min excerpt… from my recent Forum...</a>\r\n<blockquote><i>“</i><i>SUPER-GREAT Forum Sonja - I learned sooo much - can\'t wait to re-listen - thank you!!!”</i><i> </i>— Mary Beth W.</blockquote>\r\nTo watch the whole 120 min. webinar... <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">click here</a>\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: the last Quarter Moon in Aquarius becomes exact on Monday and the Balsamic Moon phase begins Friday.

It will journey there <b>until Tuesday late evening. </b>The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount. With this Moon placement we can feel already the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Monday late evening).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:52am EDT.<strong> We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday afternoon (May 5th) on, it will remain strong until this Wednesday afternoon (May 9th). </strong>This aspect creates some tension in our lives.

We are being asked to<b> </b>find creative solutions and be completely honest with ourselves and others. The best way to achieve this is by the continual practice of self-care and self-nurturing.\r\n\r\nWe have tremendous focus and drive right now, which can tip into obsession. With this aspect an all-or-nothing attitude is very likely. Choose love over fear whenever possible. Not many people enjoy being second-guessed all the time, yet that is something that we are inclined to do now.\r\n\r\nHowever, our determination to get to the bottom of any matter, to rip away falsehoods and expose true motives, can be used for good if we employ it in our work, for example, in regards to investigations or research. This is an opportunity to learn to harness our intense mental energy and apply it productively. We are also capable of very hard work, focus and effort now.\r\n\r\nWe have a great love of debate, but should be careful that we don\'t overpower others with our strong opinions, attempting to \"convert\" them to our frame of mind, or treat regular exchanges of opinion as battlegrounds. Connect to yourself and others, empowering yourself/them with what you feel passionate about.\r\n\r\nChoose your words/thoughts carefully, from a deeply connected and empowered place rather than from a place of fear, self-protection or a need for survival.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>18-24 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early evening</strong>, a challenging Venus/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 5:58pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday morning (May 5th) on, it will remain strong until this Thursday morning (May 10th).</strong> We can be confused, unrealistic, or overly idealistic around love and money -- so it\'s best to wait until the transit is over, before making big moves in these areas -- if you make long-term financial investments, buy or sell big-ticket items, or start brand-new relationships, it\'s likely you will not see things as they truly are.\r\n\r\nWe are actually being asked to have faith; to let our intuition guide us in money and love -- if we are able to do this, we will grow through it. As best as you can, be compassionate with yourself and others during these 5 days -- it might also help to know that relationships and endeavors of a spiritual or artistic nature can move forward at this time.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>13-19 degrees</em><span class=\"s1\"><i> of</i> <b><i>Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune rules Pisces).</i></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 10:09pm EDT</strong>, <em>the last Quarter Moon in 17.5 degrees of <strong>Aquarius</strong></em> becomes exact. The Moon in <strong>Aquarius</strong> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in <strong>Taurus</strong>. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Aquarius last Sunday morning (May 6th). </strong><span class=\"s2\"><i> </i>This may bring challenges; however, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.</span>\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to May 15th\'s New Moon in <strong>Taurus</strong>. With the last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us to take a look at what needs to be completed. What -- if anything -- needs last-minute adjustments? What did you discover since April 15th? What did it mean for you? What actions could shift the things you seeded or started in mid-late April?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 15-20 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Aquarius, Leo </strong>or<strong> Scorpio</strong>? If so, you will feel this month\'s last Quarter Moon quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in <strong>Leo </strong>or<strong> Cancer</strong> (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (May 8th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking</em> <strong><em>Aquarius</em> until 11:11pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for more details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late evening</strong>, <em>a Sun/Jupiter opposition</em> becomes exact at 8:39pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday morning (May 5th) on, it will remain strong until this Friday evening (May 11th). </strong> This aspect can bring an opportunity to open up our consciousness through other people. As best as you can, expand your perspectives about intimate relationships, other people\'s resources and be open to bringing some optimism to those areas of your life.\r\n\r\nThe urge to grow and expand is strong, but we might overreach -- and hasty actions could backfire. As best as you can, don’t expect too much from others or yourself; avoid over-promising, and create deeper connections whenever you can. Use humor :-)\r\n\r\nProjects or ambitions may come to a culmination point, or undergo surprising changes; ask yourself: What insights am I receiving? Where can I go from here? What if I walked in their shoes, just for a moment? Where would I walk to?\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in 15-22 degrees</em> of <b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more affected by this opposition.This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 10:29pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for almost an hour, <strong>until 11:11pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC,</a> as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday late evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 11:11pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters creative, sensitive <strong>Pisces</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Friday morning. </strong> This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 9th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive</em><strong><em> Pisces</em> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:36pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning (May 8th) on, it will remain strong until Thursday morning (May 10th). </strong>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed in order to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\nThis aspect is a fork in the road. We could take the path of learning about inner dialog and sharing ourselves with others by being open and curious -- or, we could take the path that leads to increased understanding of intimacy and resources that are shared with others.\r\n\r\nEither way, we can develop a new perspective on how to approach these things. Awareness is key with this aspect: What is needed? How can we serve the broader view?\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-19 degrees of <b>Gemini </b>or<b> Scorpio</b>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in<b> Taurus, Libra </b>or <b>Sagittarius</b> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (May 10th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive</em> <strong>Pisces all day</strong> (see Tuesday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early morning,</strong> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday late morning,</strong> a nice feeling of ease and an ability to trust and connect deeply with others. As best as you can, trust your intuitive sensing right now, allow whatever comes up to be beneficial for you.\r\n\r\nThursday early afternoon: we feel a need to go within -- and also want to connect and learn from others. This tension clearly invites us to stretch a little and resolve it through creative solutions -- the key here is to listen to our intuition, so we don\'t drive ourselves or others crazy.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday afternoon: </strong>we get an opportunity to be very present; also to connect with others and share practical advice, or simply enjoy \"the good things in life\". As best as you can, bring a sense of flow and faith to who you are being, and allow yourself to slow down and connect with nature.\r\n\r\nThursday late afternoon, we have the opportunity to be guided by inspiration, and fully commit to a project or task that might serve us long-term. As best as you can, listen and trust to the subtle messages in your heart, that stir you towards success.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (May 11th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive</em> <strong>Pisces</strong> <strong>until 8:40am EDT</strong> (see Tuesday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 5:02am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for a little over 3.5 hours, <strong>until 8:40am EDT. </strong><span class=\"s1\">If you are awake during this intuitive time, take the opportunity to go within and listen to your subtle intuitive \"voice\" -- your heart -- then focus anew on your long-term goals.</span>\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday morning ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 8:40am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters pioneering, fast-paced <strong>Aries,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday afternoon</strong>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday evening</strong>, <em>a harmonious Sun/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 7:10pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning (May 8th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening (May 14th). </strong>This aspect brings a sense of focus and empowerment to our long-term goals. We have the ability to look at everything in a very down-to-earth manner right now; through our understanding of \"what is and what is not\", we can make more powerful choices.\r\n\r\nWe can also deepen our understanding of our own motivations and look closely at where we are heading. This aspect also brings an intensity and a depth to our conscious awareness; therefore this is also a great time to transform our lives, stripping away anything -- even people -- that no longer connect with who we are.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How can I live more authentically? Is there anything holding me back? What fears and attachments could I release now, that no longer serve my evolution? Am I willing to let them go, just for now, and just as best as I can?\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of <b>Taurus, Capricorn</b> or <b>Virgo</b>? If so, you will be even more blessed by this aspect than those who do not; this is also true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in <b>Leo </b>or <b>Scorpio</b> (the Sun being the ruler of Leo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late evening, </strong><em>the Balsamic Moon phase begins, when the Moon reaches 9.5 degrees of <strong>Aries. </strong> This lasts <b>until Tuesday morning</b>, when the New Moon in <b>Taurus </b>becomes exact (for those of you who are impatiently waiting for my New Moon video, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here</a> after May 10th). We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our intuition.</em>\r\n\r\nFor some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes. This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday night</strong> (Saturday very early morning), <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:05am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening (May 10th) on, it will remain strong until Saturday evening (May 12th). </strong>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice… so we need to develop inner awareness.\r\n\r\nFear of disappointment is causing some tension. Our inner need for growth requires honesty about what is causing those fears -- most likely our own lack of good boundaries and self-esteem. Watch out for getting pulled into overly burdensome roles in other people\'s lives, because you feel it is required of you, this can often be a path into \"control issues\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, carefully examine your motivations and self-image: How do you feel about your ability to communicate, share yourself and connect on a deep emotional level? What role does fear play in all of this?\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-22 degrees Gemini or<b> Capricorn</b>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in <b>Taurus, Libra </b>or <b>Scorpio</b> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (May 12th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced</em> <strong>Aries</strong> <strong>all day</strong> (see Friday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday late morning</strong>,<em> a challenging Mercury/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 9:30am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday (May 10th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening (May 14th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">Due to the recent Mercury Retrograde phase, we get to experience this aspect several times; this is the third and last pass within the last 10 weeks. </span>\r\n\r\n<span class=\"s1\">This gives us a chance to address our approach toward any misunderstandings. </span><span class=\"s1\">This aspect<i> </i></span><span class=\"s2\">brings some juicy energy to our conversations.

Also, watch out on the road for some crazy drivers… rushing might not necessarily get you there faster ;-) </span></p>\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in the following: 25-29 degrees of<strong> Aries, </strong><strong>Capricorn</strong>,<strong> Libra, Cancer,</strong> or 0-1 degree of <b>Taurus, Aquarius, Scorpio </b>or<b> Leo</b>?<span class=\"s3\"><i> </i></span><span class=\"s2\"><i>If so, you may feel more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries)</i></span>\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Saturday, </strong><em>Mars enters its 6.5-week shadow phase, when it reaches 28.5 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong>. </em><span class=\"s1\">This precedes the retrograde phase, which will begin on June 26th in 9 degrees of <b>Aquarius</b> (more on that in 6 weeks).</span>\r\n\r\nSo what is the \"shadow phase\"? To explain this, I\'ll quickly cover what happens when a planet \"stations\" and then goes “retrograde\".\r\n\r\nRelative to us on Earth, a planet sometimes looks like it is slowing down (\"stationing\"), then stopping. After being still for a while, it actually appears to go \"backward\" through the sky (this is the \"retrograde\" phase). It\'s a little like catching up to a car on the highway, driving exactly alongside it for a moment, then passing it and pulling ahead.\r\n\r\nAt first, retrograde movement is slow, but the planet gradually reaches its normal pace through the sky -- except it\'s going backward. The process then reverses itself: the backward pace slows, the planet crawls to a \"halt\", then it starts to move forward again (i.e. it goes direct). In our car analogy, it\'s like the car you just passed gradually speeds up and passes you again.\r\n\r\nThere are also two \"shadow\" phases -- during these, the planet travels over a part of the sky it will later \"revisit\". The first \"shadow\" comes before the planet moves backward; the second comes when the planet starts to catch back up (after going direct).\r\n\r\nIt\'s like you went hiking and left something behind at camp. If you went back to get it, you\'d have some catching up to do, and would see the same scenery twice or more. Mars\'s shadow phases usually last 6-7 weeks before and after the Retrograde phase. Pay attention to what you do or pursue during this time; you may need to revisit or redo them during the Retrograde phase.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 13th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced</em> <strong>Aries until 2:15 EDT</strong> (see Friday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Uranus alignment in 29 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> becomes exact at 6:50am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday morning (May 11th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Tuesday (May 5th).  </strong><span class=\"s1\">With this alignment, an important insight is coming through, something new is preparing to enter consciousness – and we are getting the urge to move forward. We might experience some really unusual conversations. Our mind could be flooded with new information and ideas, and we most likely feel enthusiastic and excited by these fresh ideas and insights.</span>\r\n\r\nIt\'s a time when we could achieve real breakthroughs in the form of ideas, communications, and the mind in general — but coupled with the possibility of edginess and impatience toward those who don’t “get” our new insights. Nervousness, impulsivity and fidgeting could be a by-product of this alignment as well.\r\n\r\nComputers and electronics may suddenly become important. We\'ll likely have flashes of insight into our own mental workings, original thoughts, etc. As best as you can, and as much as you want to, stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body. That way, all that energy can move through you, without shaking you to the core ;-)\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 26-29 degrees of <b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn, </i></b><i>or 0-2 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </strong>or<strong> Aquarius</strong></i><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>  (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Uranus rules Aquarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 8:40am EDT</strong>, Mercury changes signs from<i> </i><span class=\"s1\"><i>enthusiastic, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> to steady, peaceful </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where it will journey<b> until <strong>May 29th</strong></b>.<b> For the next 3 weeks</b>, our thinking shifts gears: we want to connect to others in a realistic, down-to-earth way and we \"say it like it is\". We appreciate common sense; we rely on our senses when it comes to processing information.</span>\r\n\r\nA well-developed sense of color, smell, and touch are characteristic of this Mercury position, so as long as Mercury is in Taurus, we will be drawn towards the \"tasteful\" in the realm of the five senses. We are more likely to have a no-nonsense approach to decision-making, and our ideas are often very practical and useful at this time.\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to learning, we prefer demonstrations, concrete answers, and basic concepts for the next 3 weeks. We learn best when we see real-world uses for the theories we are trying to absorb. We simply process information better when we can personalize it (\"what use is it to me?\") and attach it to the practical world.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in <b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more talkative during this time. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you may need to slow down and “smell the roses” ;-)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 2:05pm EDT</strong>, we enter a brief <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 10 minutes, <strong>until 2:15pm EDT</strong>. <span class=\"s1\">Use this intuitive time to connect with people that can enthusiastically support your projects and share with them what you have going on. </span>As always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 2:15pm EDT</strong>,<em> the Moon enters steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Tuesday late afternoon</strong>. <span class=\"s1\">We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain.

Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late morning</strong>, <em>a Mars/Saturn alignment in almost 9 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> becomes exact at 11:44am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last Thursday (March 29th) on, it will be strong until this Saturday (April 7th)</strong>. This is a message to take it slow and steady and bring some focus to our endeavors.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">The last Mars/Saturn cycle started in late August 2016, in almost 10 degrees of Sagittarius; it is now coming to an end, and the new cycle will last until late March 2020.</span>\r\n\r\nWe need to learn to harness our enthusiasm and look at the reality of things. If we want to make progress right now, we need to take it one step at a time. As best as you can, be sure to build a solid foundation before zooming ahead.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">Given that this alignment is taking place in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, we are taking a closer look at real world, long-term physical manifestation. We are invited to look at the practical implications of our actions. We must recognize that our undivided focus towards these things can help us achieve our goals just as much as our talents and ambition. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">This is also therefore a great time to commit to a new project that is connected to social responsibilities, or career building; it could also be connected to government or social structures.</span>\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What would a stable foundation for my projects look like? What is something truly responsible I could do (small or large)?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in 6-12 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></i><b><i><strong>,</strong> Cancer, Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i> will be most affected by this alignment.

You may also want to plan Tuesday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon conjuncts Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (April 4th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><strong> until 2:55am EDT </strong>(see Monday and Tuesday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 2:55am EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i>, </b>where it will journey<i> <strong>until Friday afternoon</strong></i><b>. </b>We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:05am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Sunday evening (April 1st) on; it will remain strong until this Saturday </strong><b>morning.</b> This aspect<i> </i>could bring some juicy energy to our conversations -- a chance to have some discussions that have been overdue.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, make it a productive discussion that serves you and others -- a win-win -- otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards. Also, watch out on the road for some crazy drivers… rushing might not necessarily get us there faster ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 7-13 degrees</i><i> of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this aspect more strongly than otherwise.</i><i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (April 5th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Sagittarius</strong> </em><strong>all day </strong>(see Wednesday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:22am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Sunday morning (April 1st) on; it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening (April 9th). </strong>Due to the Mercury Retrograde phase, we get to experience this aspect several times; this is the second pass within the last 25 days. This gives us a chance to address our approach toward any misunderstandings.\r\n\r\nThis aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature. Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps? Is there anything that came up in mid March that needs to be readdressed? If so, this is your chance... ;-)\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to your passions, while remaining committed to exploring them one step at a time. What is my life calling me to explore? Could I go for it (one step at a time)?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 6-12 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn,  Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it\'s still transiting through Sagittarius until Tuesday late evening, making this a great time to take a long, last look at our belief structures, explore limiting beliefs and bust through conditioned thought structures. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at the \"meaning of life\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, be authentic about your beliefs: Do they actually match your direct experience of life -- as it is for you now, rather than 5 or 10 years ago? What is true as of now? What is not? This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Sunday very early morning).\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Friday</strong>, <em>Pluto Stations in 21 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> -- it will be moving slower (i.e. stationing) <strong>until May 5th.</strong> Whenever a planet is stationing, its energy is exalted; in this case the Pluto station amplifies our need for accomplishment and authenticity in the world that we are building not only for ourselves, but for future generations. It also sends a message about empowering ourselves and transforming anything that is no longer congruent with our long-term-goals.\r\n\r\nBecause we are placing so much focus on building and succeeding, we need to be extra aware of how much self-care we are allowing ourselves to receive at this time: as best you can, allow balance between striving for accomplishment and nurturing yourself. Reach out for support if you start to feel burned out or find yourself going down the \"rabbit-hole\".\r\n\r\nYou might also want to watch my latest Forum; we looked at the Pluto station in relationship to our birth charts.

Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it\'s still transiting through Sagittarius until Tuesday late evening, making this a great time to take a long, last look at our belief structures, explore limiting beliefs and bust through conditioned thought structures. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at the \"meaning of life\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, be authentic about your beliefs: Do they actually match your direct experience of life -- as it is for you now, rather than 5 or 10 years ago? What is true as of now? What is not? This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Sunday very early morning).\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Friday, </b><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><i>Pluto slows down (aka stationing)</i>, getting ready to come to a halt on April 22nd, starting its 5-month retrograde phase.</span> This makes its energy more exalted in the sky <strong>for</strong> <strong>the next 4 weeks</strong><i>. </i>When an outer planet stations, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us -- and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\r\n\r\nPluto is associated with our soul purpose. It relates to the process of empowerment -- our ability to feel empowered from within, through the experience of wholeness -- and to our deepest passions. It is also associated with transformation, for example our ability to transform darkness into light or \"death\" into \"rebirth\". Those terms don\'t necessarily refer to physical death or rebirth, but rather some sort of ending and beginning.\r\n\r\nTo get to a place of truthfulness on the soul level, Pluto will remove what no longer serves us, replacing it with something new -- something fully aligned with our deepest passions and soul purpose. When we resist the deep changes Pluto brings, we tend to suffer; on the other hand, when we surrender and allow for that process to take place, we will move to a place of greater authenticity -- and feel a newness and empowerment from within.\r\n\r\nThe Pluto station in <strong>Capricorn</strong> amplifies our need for accomplishment and authenticity in the world that we are building not only for ourselves, but for future generations. It also sends a message about empowering ourselves and transforming anything that is no longer congruent with our long-term-goals.\r\n\r\nBecause we are placing so much focus on building and succeeding, we need to be extra aware of how much self-care we are allowing ourselves to receive at this time: as best you can, allow balance between striving for accomplishment and nurturing yourself. Reach out for support if you start to feel burned out or find yourself going down the \"rabbit-hole\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take a closer look at whatever is \"in your face\" <b>for the next 4 weeks.</b> Look for what might no longer be in alignment with your soul\'s purpose (your deep authentic Self). Ask yourself: Where am I holding on, out of fear? What habits, behaviors or fears are holding me back from feeling fully empowered from within? What would it look like, if I was fully aligned with my Soul-purpose? How would it feel? When we confront our fears we very often discover hidden gifts and strengths.\r\n\r\nYou might also want to watch my latest Forum; we looked at the Pluto station in relationship to our birth charts.

We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\r\n\r\nPluto is associated with our soul purpose. It relates to the process of empowerment -- our ability to feel empowered from within, through the experience of wholeness -- and to our deepest passions. It is also associated with transformation, for example our ability to transform darkness into light or \"death\" into \"rebirth\". Those terms don\'t necessarily refer to physical death or rebirth, but rather some sort of ending and beginning.\r\n\r\nTo get to a place of truthfulness on the soul level, Pluto will remove what no longer serves us, replacing it with something new -- something fully aligned with our deepest passions and soul purpose. When we resist the deep changes Pluto brings, we tend to suffer; on the other hand, when we surrender and allow for that process to take place, we will move to a place of greater authenticity -- and feel a newness and empowerment from within.\r\n\r\nThe Pluto station in <strong>Capricorn</strong> amplifies our need for accomplishment and authenticity in the world that we are building not only for ourselves, but for future generations. It also sends a message about empowering ourselves and transforming anything that is no longer congruent with our long-term-goals.\r\n\r\nBecause we are placing so much focus on building and succeeding, we need to be extra aware of how much self-care we are allowing ourselves to receive at this time: as best you can, allow balance between striving for accomplishment and nurturing yourself. Reach out for support if you start to feel burned out or find yourself going down the \"rabbit-hole\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take a closer look at whatever is \"in your face\" <b>for the next 4 weeks.</b> Look for what might no longer be in alignment with your soul\'s purpose (your deep authentic Self). Ask yourself: Where am I holding on, out of fear? What habits, behaviors or fears are holding me back from feeling fully empowered from within? What would it look like, if I was fully aligned with my Soul-purpose? How would it feel?

Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late morning</strong>, <em>a Mars/Saturn alignment in almost 9 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> becomes exact at 11:44am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last Thursday (March 29th) on, it will be strong until this Saturday (April 7th)</strong>. This is a message to take it slow and steady and bring some focus to our endeavors.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">The last Mars/Saturn cycle started in late August 2016, in almost 10 degrees of Sagittarius; it is now coming to an end, and the new cycle will last until late March 2020.</span>\r\n\r\nWe need to learn to harness our enthusiasm and look at the reality of things. If we want to make progress right now, we need to take it one step at a time. As best as you can, be sure to build a solid foundation before zooming ahead.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">Given that this alignment is taking place in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, we are taking a closer look at real world, long-term physical manifestation. We are invited to look at the practical implications of our actions. We must recognize that our undivided focus towards these things can help us achieve our goals just as much as our talents and ambition. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">This is also therefore a great time to commit to a new project that is connected to social responsibilities, or career building; it could also be connected to government or social structures.</span>\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What would a stable foundation for my projects look like?

We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:05am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Sunday evening (April 1st) on; it will remain strong until this Saturday </strong><b>morning.</b> This aspect<i> </i>could bring some juicy energy to our conversations -- a chance to have some discussions that have been overdue.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, make it a productive discussion that serves you and others -- a win-win -- otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards. Also, watch out on the road for some crazy drivers… rushing might not necessarily get us there faster ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 7-13 degrees</i><i> of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>?

This gives us a chance to address our approach toward any misunderstandings.\r\n\r\nThis aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature. Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps? Is there anything that came up in mid March that needs to be readdressed? If so, this is your chance... ;-)\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to your passions, while remaining committed to exploring them one step at a time. What is my life calling me to explore? Could I go for it (one step at a time)?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 6-12 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn,  Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late morning</strong>, <em>a Mars/Saturn alignment in almost 9 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> becomes exact at 11:44am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last Thursday (March 29th) on, it will be strong until this Saturday (April 7th)</strong>. This is a message to take it slow and steady and bring some focus to our endeavors.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">The last Mars/Saturn cycle started in late August 2016, in almost 10 degrees of Sagittarius; it is now coming to an end, and the new cycle will last until late March 2020.</span>\r\n\r\nWe need to learn to harness our enthusiasm and look at the reality of things. If we want to make progress right now, we need to take it one step at a time. As best as you can, be sure to build a solid foundation before zooming ahead.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">Given that this alignment is taking place in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, we are taking a closer look at real world, long-term physical manifestation. We are invited to look at the practical implications of our actions. We must recognize that our undivided focus towards these things can help us achieve our goals just as much as our talents and ambition. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">This is also therefore a great time to commit to a new project that is connected to social responsibilities, or career building; it could also be connected to government or social structures.</span>\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What would a stable foundation for my projects look like?

We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:05am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Sunday evening (April 1st) on; it will remain strong until this Saturday </strong><b>morning.</b> This aspect<i> </i>could bring some juicy energy to our conversations -- a chance to have some discussions that have been overdue.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, make it a productive discussion that serves you and others -- a win-win -- otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards. Also, watch out on the road for some crazy drivers… rushing might not necessarily get us there faster ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 7-13 degrees</i><i> of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>?

This gives us a chance to address our approach toward any misunderstandings.\r\n\r\nThis aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature. Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps? Is there anything that came up in mid March that needs to be readdressed? If so, this is your chance... ;-)\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to your passions, while remaining committed to exploring them one step at a time. What is my life calling me to explore? Could I go for it (one step at a time)?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 6-12 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn,  Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it\'s still transiting through Sagittarius until Tuesday late evening, making this a great time to take a long, last look at our belief structures, explore limiting beliefs and bust through conditioned thought structures. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at the \"meaning of life\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, be authentic about your beliefs: Do they actually match your direct experience of life -- as it is for you now, rather than 5 or 10 years ago? What is true as of now? What is not? This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Sunday very early morning).\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Friday, </b><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><i>Pluto slows down (aka stationing)</i>, getting ready to come to a halt on April 22nd, starting its 5-month retrograde phase.</span> This makes its energy more exalted in the sky <strong>for</strong> <strong>the next 4 weeks</strong><i>. </i>When an outer planet stations, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us -- and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\r\n\r\nPluto is associated with our soul purpose. It relates to the process of empowerment -- our ability to feel empowered from within, through the experience of wholeness -- and to our deepest passions. It is also associated with transformation, for example our ability to transform darkness into light or \"death\" into \"rebirth\". Those terms don\'t necessarily refer to physical death or rebirth, but rather some sort of ending and beginning.\r\n\r\nTo get to a place of truthfulness on the soul level, Pluto will remove what no longer serves us, replacing it with something new -- something fully aligned with our deepest passions and soul purpose. When we resist the deep changes Pluto brings, we tend to suffer; on the other hand, when we surrender and allow for that process to take place, we will move to a place of greater authenticity -- and feel a newness and empowerment from within.\r\n\r\nThe Pluto station in <strong>Capricorn</strong> amplifies our need for accomplishment and authenticity in the world that we are building not only for ourselves, but for future generations. It also sends a message about empowering ourselves and transforming anything that is no longer congruent with our long-term-goals.\r\n\r\nBecause we are placing so much focus on building and succeeding, we need to be extra aware of how much self-care we are allowing ourselves to receive at this time: as best you can, allow balance between striving for accomplishment and nurturing yourself. Reach out for support if you start to feel burned out or find yourself going down the \"rabbit-hole\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take a closer look at whatever is \"in your face\" <b>for the next 4 weeks.</b> Look for what might no longer be in alignment with your soul\'s purpose (your deep authentic Self). Ask yourself: Where am I holding on, out of fear? What habits, behaviors or fears are holding me back from feeling fully empowered from within? What would it look like, if I was fully aligned with my Soul-purpose? How would it feel? When we confront our fears we very often discover hidden gifts and strengths.\r\n\r\nYou might also want to watch my latest Forum; we looked at the Pluto station in relationship to our birth charts.

Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late morning</strong>, <em>a Mars/Saturn alignment in almost 9 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> becomes exact at 11:44am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last Thursday (March 29th) on, it will be strong until this Saturday (April 7th)</strong>. This is a message to take it slow and steady and bring some focus to our endeavors.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">The last Mars/Saturn cycle started in late August 2016, in almost 10 degrees of Sagittarius; it is now coming to an end, and the new cycle will last until late March 2020.</span>\r\n\r\nWe need to learn to harness our enthusiasm and look at the reality of things. If we want to make progress right now, we need to take it one step at a time. As best as you can, be sure to build a solid foundation before zooming ahead.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">Given that this alignment is taking place in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, we are taking a closer look at real world, long-term physical manifestation. We are invited to look at the practical implications of our actions. We must recognize that our undivided focus towards these things can help us achieve our goals just as much as our talents and ambition. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">This is also therefore a great time to commit to a new project that is connected to social responsibilities, or career building; it could also be connected to government or social structures.</span>\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What would a stable foundation for my projects look like?

We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:05am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Sunday evening (April 1st) on; it will remain strong until this Saturday </strong><b>morning.</b> This aspect<i> </i>could bring some juicy energy to our conversations -- a chance to have some discussions that have been overdue.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, make it a productive discussion that serves you and others -- a win-win -- otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards. Also, watch out on the road for some crazy drivers… rushing might not necessarily get us there faster ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 7-13 degrees</i><i> of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>?

This gives us a chance to address our approach toward any misunderstandings.\r\n\r\nThis aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature. Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps? Is there anything that came up in mid March that needs to be readdressed? If so, this is your chance... ;-)\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to your passions, while remaining committed to exploring them one step at a time. What is my life calling me to explore? Could I go for it (one step at a time)?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 6-12 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn,  Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

You may also want to plan Friday morning and afternoon ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon trines Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 2:01pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Sunday late evening</strong>.<b> </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it\'s still transiting through Sagittarius until Tuesday late evening, making this a great time to take a long, last look at our belief structures, explore limiting beliefs and bust through conditioned thought structures. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at the \"meaning of life\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, be authentic about your beliefs: Do they actually match your direct experience of life -- as it is for you now, rather than 5 or 10 years ago? What is true as of now? What is not? This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Sunday very early morning).\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Friday, </b><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><i>Pluto slows down (aka stationing)</i>, getting ready to come to a halt on April 22nd, starting its 5-month retrograde phase.</span> This makes its energy more exalted in the sky <strong>for</strong> <strong>the next 4 weeks</strong><i>. </i>When an outer planet stations, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us -- and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\r\n\r\nPluto is associated with our soul purpose. It relates to the process of empowerment -- our ability to feel empowered from within, through the experience of wholeness -- and to our deepest passions. It is also associated with transformation, for example our ability to transform darkness into light or \"death\" into \"rebirth\". Those terms don\'t necessarily refer to physical death or rebirth, but rather some sort of ending and beginning.\r\n\r\nTo get to a place of truthfulness on the soul level, Pluto will remove what no longer serves us, replacing it with something new -- something fully aligned with our deepest passions and soul purpose. When we resist the deep changes Pluto brings, we tend to suffer; on the other hand, when we surrender and allow for that process to take place, we will move to a place of greater authenticity -- and feel a newness and empowerment from within.\r\n\r\nThe Pluto station in <strong>Capricorn</strong> amplifies our need for accomplishment and authenticity in the world that we are building not only for ourselves, but for future generations. It also sends a message about empowering ourselves and transforming anything that is no longer congruent with our long-term-goals.\r\n\r\nBecause we are placing so much focus on building and succeeding, we need to be extra aware of how much self-care we are allowing ourselves to receive at this time: as best you can, allow balance between striving for accomplishment and nurturing yourself. Reach out for support if you start to feel burned out or find yourself going down the \"rabbit-hole\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take a closer look at whatever is \"in your face\" <b>for the next 4 weeks.</b> Look for what might no longer be in alignment with your soul\'s purpose (your deep authentic Self). Ask yourself: Where am I holding on, out of fear? What habits, behaviors or fears are holding me back from feeling fully empowered from within? What would it look like, if I was fully aligned with my Soul-purpose? How would it feel? When we confront our fears we very often discover hidden gifts and strengths.\r\n\r\nYou might also want to watch my latest Forum; we looked at the Pluto station in relationship to our birth charts. Other than <a href=\"http://goo.gl/D0P2Rk\">booking a reading</a> with me, the Forum is the highest level of support you can get -- and it\'s only $37 for the \"90+ minute\" webinar. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product-category/webinars/\">Click here to add the April Forecasting Forum to your cart.</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Aries, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>?

Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late morning</strong>, <em>a Mars/Saturn alignment in almost 9 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> becomes exact at 11:44am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last Thursday (March 29th) on, it will be strong until this Saturday (April 7th)</strong>. This is a message to take it slow and steady and bring some focus to our endeavors.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">The last Mars/Saturn cycle started in late August 2016, in almost 10 degrees of Sagittarius; it is now coming to an end, and the new cycle will last until late March 2020.</span>\r\n\r\nWe need to learn to harness our enthusiasm and look at the reality of things. If we want to make progress right now, we need to take it one step at a time. As best as you can, be sure to build a solid foundation before zooming ahead.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">Given that this alignment is taking place in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, we are taking a closer look at real world, long-term physical manifestation. We are invited to look at the practical implications of our actions. We must recognize that our undivided focus towards these things can help us achieve our goals just as much as our talents and ambition. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">This is also therefore a great time to commit to a new project that is connected to social responsibilities, or career building; it could also be connected to government or social structures.</span>\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What would a stable foundation for my projects look like?

We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:05am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Sunday evening (April 1st) on; it will remain strong until this Saturday </strong><b>morning.</b> This aspect<i> </i>could bring some juicy energy to our conversations -- a chance to have some discussions that have been overdue.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, make it a productive discussion that serves you and others -- a win-win -- otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards. Also, watch out on the road for some crazy drivers… rushing might not necessarily get us there faster ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 7-13 degrees</i><i> of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>?

This gives us a chance to address our approach toward any misunderstandings.\r\n\r\nThis aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature. Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps? Is there anything that came up in mid March that needs to be readdressed? If so, this is your chance... ;-)\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to your passions, while remaining committed to exploring them one step at a time. What is my life calling me to explore? Could I go for it (one step at a time)?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 6-12 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn,  Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

You may also want to plan Friday morning and afternoon ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon trines Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 2:01pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Sunday late evening</strong>.<b> </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it\'s still transiting through Sagittarius until Tuesday late evening, making this a great time to take a long, last look at our belief structures, explore limiting beliefs and bust through conditioned thought structures. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at the \"meaning of life\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, be authentic about your beliefs: Do they actually match your direct experience of life -- as it is for you now, rather than 5 or 10 years ago? What is true as of now? What is not? This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Sunday very early morning).\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Friday, </b><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><i>Pluto slows down (aka stationing)</i>, getting ready to come to a halt on April 22nd, starting its 5-month retrograde phase.</span> This makes its energy more exalted in the sky <strong>for</strong> <strong>the next 4 weeks</strong><i>. </i>When an outer planet stations, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us -- and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\r\n\r\nPluto is associated with our soul purpose. It relates to the process of empowerment -- our ability to feel empowered from within, through the experience of wholeness -- and to our deepest passions. It is also associated with transformation, for example our ability to transform darkness into light or \"death\" into \"rebirth\". Those terms don\'t necessarily refer to physical death or rebirth, but rather some sort of ending and beginning.\r\n\r\nTo get to a place of truthfulness on the soul level, Pluto will remove what no longer serves us, replacing it with something new -- something fully aligned with our deepest passions and soul purpose. When we resist the deep changes Pluto brings, we tend to suffer; on the other hand, when we surrender and allow for that process to take place, we will move to a place of greater authenticity -- and feel a newness and empowerment from within.\r\n\r\nThe Pluto station in <strong>Capricorn</strong> amplifies our need for accomplishment and authenticity in the world that we are building not only for ourselves, but for future generations. It also sends a message about empowering ourselves and transforming anything that is no longer congruent with our long-term-goals.\r\n\r\nBecause we are placing so much focus on building and succeeding, we need to be extra aware of how much self-care we are allowing ourselves to receive at this time: as best you can, allow balance between striving for accomplishment and nurturing yourself. Reach out for support if you start to feel burned out or find yourself going down the \"rabbit-hole\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take a closer look at whatever is \"in your face\" <b>for the next 4 weeks.</b> Look for what might no longer be in alignment with your soul\'s purpose (your deep authentic Self). Ask yourself: Where am I holding on, out of fear? What habits, behaviors or fears are holding me back from feeling fully empowered from within? What would it look like, if I was fully aligned with my Soul-purpose? How would it feel? When we confront our fears we very often discover hidden gifts and strengths.\r\n\r\nYou might also want to watch my latest Forum; we looked at the Pluto station in relationship to our birth charts.

Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late morning</strong>, <em>a Mars/Saturn alignment in almost 9 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> becomes exact at 11:44am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last Thursday (March 29th) on, it will be strong until this Saturday (April 7th)</strong>. This is a message to take it slow and steady and bring some focus to our endeavors.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">The last Mars/Saturn cycle started in late August 2016, in almost 10 degrees of Sagittarius; it is now coming to an end, and the new cycle will last until late March 2020.</span>\r\n\r\nWe need to learn to harness our enthusiasm and look at the reality of things. If we want to make progress right now, we need to take it one step at a time. As best as you can, be sure to build a solid foundation before zooming ahead.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">Given that this alignment is taking place in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, we are taking a closer look at real world, long-term physical manifestation.

We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:05am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Sunday evening (April 1st) on; it will remain strong until this Saturday </strong><b>morning.</b> This aspect<i> </i>could bring some juicy energy to our conversations -- a chance to have some discussions that have been overdue.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, make it a productive discussion that serves you and others -- a win-win -- otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards.

This gives us a chance to address our approach toward any misunderstandings.\r\n\r\nThis aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature. Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps? Is there anything that came up in mid March that needs to be readdressed? If so, this is your chance... ;-)\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to your passions, while remaining committed to exploring them one step at a time. What is my life calling me to explore? Could I go for it (one step at a time)?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 6-12 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn,  Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it\'s still transiting through Sagittarius until Tuesday late evening, making this a great time to take a long, last look at our belief structures, explore limiting beliefs and bust through conditioned thought structures. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at the \"meaning of life\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, be authentic about your beliefs: Do they actually match your direct experience of life -- as it is for you now, rather than 5 or 10 years ago? What is true as of now? What is not? This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Sunday very early morning).\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Friday, </b><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><i>Pluto slows down (aka stationing)</i>, getting ready to come to a halt on April 22nd, starting its 5-month retrograde phase.</span> This makes its energy more exalted in the sky <strong>for</strong> <strong>the next 4 weeks</strong><i>. </i>When an outer planet stations, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us -- and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\r\n\r\nPluto is associated with our soul purpose. It relates to the process of empowerment -- our ability to feel empowered from within, through the experience of wholeness -- and to our deepest passions. It is also associated with transformation, for example our ability to transform darkness into light or \"death\" into \"rebirth\". Those terms don\'t necessarily refer to physical death or rebirth, but rather some sort of ending and beginning.\r\n\r\nTo get to a place of truthfulness on the soul level, Pluto will remove what no longer serves us, replacing it with something new -- something fully aligned with our deepest passions and soul purpose. When we resist the deep changes Pluto brings, we tend to suffer; on the other hand, when we surrender and allow for that process to take place, we will move to a place of greater authenticity -- and feel a newness and empowerment from within.\r\n\r\nThe Pluto station in <strong>Capricorn</strong> amplifies our need for accomplishment and authenticity in the world that we are building not only for ourselves, but for future generations. It also sends a message about empowering ourselves and transforming anything that is no longer congruent with our long-term-goals.\r\n\r\nBecause we are placing so much focus on building and succeeding, we need to be extra aware of how much self-care we are allowing ourselves to receive at this time: as best you can, allow balance between striving for accomplishment and nurturing yourself. Reach out for support if you start to feel burned out or find yourself going down the \"rabbit-hole\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take a closer look at whatever is \"in your face\" <b>for the next 4 weeks.</b> Look for what might no longer be in alignment with your soul\'s purpose (your deep authentic Self). Ask yourself: Where am I holding on, out of fear? What habits, behaviors or fears are holding me back from feeling fully empowered from within? What would it look like, if I was fully aligned with my Soul-purpose? How would it feel? When we confront our fears we very often discover hidden gifts and strengths.\r\n\r\nYou might also want to watch my latest Forum; we looked at the Pluto station in relationship to our birth charts.

Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late morning</strong>, <em>a Mars/Saturn alignment in almost 9 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> becomes exact at 11:44am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last Thursday (March 29th) on, it will be strong until this Saturday (April 7th)</strong>. This is a message to take it slow and steady and bring some focus to our endeavors.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">The last Mars/Saturn cycle started in late August 2016, in almost 10 degrees of Sagittarius; it is now coming to an end, and the new cycle will last until late March 2020.</span>\r\n\r\nWe need to learn to harness our enthusiasm and look at the reality of things. If we want to make progress right now, we need to take it one step at a time. As best as you can, be sure to build a solid foundation before zooming ahead.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">Given that this alignment is taking place in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, we are taking a closer look at real world, long-term physical manifestation.

We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:05am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Sunday evening (April 1st) on; it will remain strong until this Saturday </strong><b>morning.</b> This aspect<i> </i>could bring some juicy energy to our conversations -- a chance to have some discussions that have been overdue.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, make it a productive discussion that serves you and others -- a win-win -- otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards. Also, watch out on the road for some crazy drivers… rushing might not necessarily get us there faster ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 7-13 degrees</i><i> of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>?

This gives us a chance to address our approach toward any misunderstandings.\r\n\r\nThis aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature. Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps? Is there anything that came up in mid March that needs to be readdressed? If so, this is your chance... ;-)\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to your passions, while remaining committed to exploring them one step at a time. What is my life calling me to explore? Could I go for it (one step at a time)?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 6-12 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn,  Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

You may also want to plan Friday morning and afternoon ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon trines Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 2:01pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Sunday late evening</strong>.<b> </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it\'s still transiting through Sagittarius until Tuesday late evening, making this a great time to take a long, last look at our belief structures, explore limiting beliefs and bust through conditioned thought structures. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at the \"meaning of life\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, be authentic about your beliefs: Do they actually match your direct experience of life -- as it is for you now, rather than 5 or 10 years ago? What is true as of now? What is not? This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Sunday very early morning).\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Friday, </b><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><i>Pluto slows down (aka stationing)</i>, getting ready to come to a halt on April 22nd, starting its 5-month retrograde phase.</span> This makes its energy more exalted in the sky <strong>for</strong> <strong>the next 4 weeks</strong><i>. </i>When an outer planet stations, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us -- and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\r\n\r\nPluto is associated with our soul purpose. It relates to the process of empowerment -- our ability to feel empowered from within, through the experience of wholeness -- and to our deepest passions. It is also associated with transformation, for example our ability to transform darkness into light or \"death\" into \"rebirth\". Those terms don\'t necessarily refer to physical death or rebirth, but rather some sort of ending and beginning.\r\n\r\nTo get to a place of truthfulness on the soul level, Pluto will remove what no longer serves us, replacing it with something new -- something fully aligned with our deepest passions and soul purpose. When we resist the deep changes Pluto brings, we tend to suffer; on the other hand, when we surrender and allow for that process to take place, we will move to a place of greater authenticity -- and feel a newness and empowerment from within.\r\n\r\nThe Pluto station in <strong>Capricorn</strong> amplifies our need for accomplishment and authenticity in the world that we are building not only for ourselves, but for future generations. It also sends a message about empowering ourselves and transforming anything that is no longer congruent with our long-term-goals.\r\n\r\nBecause we are placing so much focus on building and succeeding, we need to be extra aware of how much self-care we are allowing ourselves to receive at this time: as best you can, allow balance between striving for accomplishment and nurturing yourself. Reach out for support if you start to feel burned out or find yourself going down the \"rabbit-hole\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take a closer look at whatever is \"in your face\" <b>for the next 4 weeks.</b> Look for what might no longer be in alignment with your soul\'s purpose (your deep authentic Self). Ask yourself: Where am I holding on, out of fear? What habits, behaviors or fears are holding me back from feeling fully empowered from within? What would it look like, if I was fully aligned with my Soul-purpose? How would it feel? When we confront our fears we very often discover hidden gifts and strengths.\r\n\r\nYou might also want to watch my latest Forum; we looked at the Pluto station in relationship to our birth charts.

Mutual respect and loyalty become especially important to us at this time; this can strengthen and refresh old friendships too.\r\n\r\nWe bring more maturity, respect and integrity to interactions -- and this is a good time to approach \"elders\" and authority figures for their input.

Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late morning</strong>, <em>a Mars/Saturn alignment in almost 9 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> becomes exact at 11:44am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last Thursday (March 29th) on, it will be strong until this Saturday (April 7th)</strong>. This is a message to take it slow and steady and bring some focus to our endeavors.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">The last Mars/Saturn cycle started in late August 2016, in almost 10 degrees of Sagittarius; it is now coming to an end, and the new cycle will last until late March 2020.</span>\r\n\r\nWe need to learn to harness our enthusiasm and look at the reality of things.

We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:05am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Sunday evening (April 1st) on; it will remain strong until this Saturday </strong><b>morning.</b> This aspect<i> </i>could bring some juicy energy to our conversations -- a chance to have some discussions that have been overdue.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, make it a productive discussion that serves you and others -- a win-win -- otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards.

This gives us a chance to address our approach toward any misunderstandings.\r\n\r\nThis aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature. Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps? Is there anything that came up in mid March that needs to be readdressed? If so, this is your chance... ;-)\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to your passions, while remaining committed to exploring them one step at a time. What is my life calling me to explore? Could I go for it (one step at a time)?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 6-12 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn,  Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it\'s still transiting through Sagittarius until Tuesday late evening, making this a great time to take a long, last look at our belief structures, explore limiting beliefs and bust through conditioned thought structures. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at the \"meaning of life\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, be authentic about your beliefs: Do they actually match your direct experience of life -- as it is for you now, rather than 5 or 10 years ago? What is true as of now? What is not? This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Sunday very early morning).\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Friday, </b><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><i>Pluto slows down (aka stationing)</i>, getting ready to come to a halt on April 22nd, starting its 5-month retrograde phase.</span> This makes its energy more exalted in the sky <strong>for</strong> <strong>the next 4 weeks</strong><i>. </i>When an outer planet stations, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us -- and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\r\n\r\nPluto is associated with our soul purpose. It relates to the process of empowerment -- our ability to feel empowered from within, through the experience of wholeness -- and to our deepest passions. It is also associated with transformation, for example our ability to transform darkness into light or \"death\" into \"rebirth\". Those terms don\'t necessarily refer to physical death or rebirth, but rather some sort of ending and beginning.\r\n\r\nTo get to a place of truthfulness on the soul level, Pluto will remove what no longer serves us, replacing it with something new -- something fully aligned with our deepest passions and soul purpose. When we resist the deep changes Pluto brings, we tend to suffer; on the other hand, when we surrender and allow for that process to take place, we will move to a place of greater authenticity -- and feel a newness and empowerment from within.\r\n\r\nThe Pluto station in <strong>Capricorn</strong> amplifies our need for accomplishment and authenticity in the world that we are building not only for ourselves, but for future generations. It also sends a message about empowering ourselves and transforming anything that is no longer congruent with our long-term-goals.\r\n\r\nBecause we are placing so much focus on building and succeeding, we need to be extra aware of how much self-care we are allowing ourselves to receive at this time: as best you can, allow balance between striving for accomplishment and nurturing yourself. Reach out for support if you start to feel burned out or find yourself going down the \"rabbit-hole\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take a closer look at whatever is \"in your face\" <b>for the next 4 weeks.</b> Look for what might no longer be in alignment with your soul\'s purpose (your deep authentic Self). Ask yourself: Where am I holding on, out of fear? What habits, behaviors or fears are holding me back from feeling fully empowered from within? What would it look like, if I was fully aligned with my Soul-purpose? How would it feel? When we confront our fears we very often discover hidden gifts and strengths.\r\n\r\nYou might also want to watch my latest Forum; we looked at the Pluto station in relationship to our birth charts.

This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late morning</strong>, <em>a Mars/Saturn alignment in almost 9 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> becomes exact at 11:44am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last Thursday (March 29th) on, it will be strong until this Saturday (April 7th)</strong>. This is a message to take it slow and steady and bring some focus to our endeavors.\r\n\r\nThe last Mars/Saturn cycle started in late August 2016 (in almost 10 degrees of Sagittarius), it is now coming to an end -- and the new cycle will last until late March 2020.\r\n\r\nWe need to learn to harness our enthusiasm and look at the reality of things. If we want to make progress right now, we need to take it one step at a time. As best as you can, be sure to build a solid foundation before zooming ahead.\r\n\r\nGiven that this alignment is taking place in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, we are invited to take a closer look at real-world, long-term physical manifestation, and at the practical implications of our actions. We must recognize that an undivided focus on such things can help us achieve our goals just as much as our talents and ambition.\r\n\r\nThis is also a great time to commit to a new project connected to social responsibilities, or career building; it could also be connected to government or social structures.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What would a stable foundation for my projects look like? What is something truly responsible I could do (small or large)?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in 6-12 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></i><b><i><strong>,</strong> Cancer, Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i> will be most affected by this alignment.

We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:05am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Sunday evening (April 1st) on; it will remain strong until this Saturday </strong><b>morning.</b> This aspect<i> </i>could bring some juicy energy to our conversations -- a chance to have some discussions that have been overdue.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, make it a productive discussion that serves you and others -- a win-win -- otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards. Also, watch out on the road for some crazy drivers… rushing might not necessarily get us there faster ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 7-13 degrees</i><i> of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>?

This gives us a chance to address our approach toward any misunderstandings.\r\n\r\nThis aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature. Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps? Is there anything that came up in mid March that needs to be readdressed? If so, this is your chance... ;-)\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to your passions, while remaining committed to exploring them one step at a time. What is my life calling me to explore? Could I go for it (one step at a time)?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 6-12 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn,  Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

You may also want to plan Friday morning and afternoon ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon trines Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 2:01pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Sunday late evening</strong>.<b> </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it\'s still transiting through Sagittarius until Tuesday late evening, making this a great time to take a long, last look at our belief structures, explore limiting beliefs and bust through conditioned thought structures. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at the \"meaning of life\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, be authentic about your beliefs: Do they actually match your direct experience of life -- as it is for you now, rather than 5 or 10 years ago? What is true as of now? What is not? This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Sunday very early morning).\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Friday, </b><i>Pluto slows down (or \"stations\")</i>, getting ready to come to a halt on April 22nd, when it will begin its 5-month retrograde phase. This makes its energy more exalted in the sky <strong>for</strong> <strong>the next 4 weeks</strong><i>. </i>When an outer planet stations, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us -- and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\r\n\r\nPluto is associated with our soul purpose. It relates to the process of empowerment -- our ability to feel empowered from within, through the experience of wholeness -- and to our deepest passions. It is also associated with transformation, for example our ability to transform darkness into light or \"death\" into \"rebirth\". Those terms don\'t necessarily refer to physical death or rebirth, but rather some sort of ending and beginning.\r\n\r\nTo get to a place of truthfulness on the soul level, Pluto will remove what no longer serves us, replacing it with something new -- something fully aligned with our deepest passions and soul purpose. When we resist the deep changes Pluto brings, we tend to suffer; on the other hand, when we surrender and allow for that process to take place, we will move to a place of greater authenticity -- and feel a newness and empowerment from within.\r\n\r\nThe Pluto station in <strong>Capricorn</strong> amplifies our need for accomplishment and authenticity in the world that we are building not only for ourselves, but for future generations. It also sends a message about empowering ourselves and transforming anything that is no longer congruent with our long-term-goals.\r\n\r\nBecause we are placing so much focus on building and succeeding, we need to be extra aware of how much self-care we are allowing ourselves to receive at this time: as best you can, allow balance between striving for accomplishment and nurturing yourself. Reach out for support if you start to feel burned out or find yourself going down the \"rabbit-hole\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take a closer look at whatever is \"in your face\" <b>for the next 4 weeks.</b> Look for what might no longer be in alignment with your soul\'s purpose (your deep authentic Self). Ask yourself: Where am I holding on, out of fear? What habits, behaviors or fears are holding me back from feeling fully empowered from within? What would it look like, if I was fully aligned with my Soul-purpose? How would it feel? When we confront our fears we very often discover hidden gifts and strengths.\r\n\r\nYou might also want to watch my latest Forum; we looked at the Pluto station in relationship to our birth charts.

We have increased sensitivity to the needs of others. Mutual respect and loyalty become especially important to us at this time; this can strengthen and refresh old friendships too.\r\n\r\nWe bring more maturity, respect and integrity to interactions -- and this is a good time to approach \"elders\" and authority figures for their input. This doesn\'t have to be \"solemn\" though: What if you connected to yourself and others for appreciation of the little things that bring beauty and peace? If a flower had a message about the process of maturing, what might that message be? What might a tree have to say on the subject?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 6-12 degrees of</i><b><i> Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

You may also want to plan Tuesday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (April 4th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><strong> until 2:55am EDT </strong>(see Monday and Tuesday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 2:55am EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i>, </b>where it will journey<i> <strong>until Friday afternoon</strong></i><b>. </b>We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:05am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Sunday evening (April 1st) on; it will remain strong until this Saturday </strong><b>morning.</b> This aspect<i> </i>could bring some juicy energy to our conversations -- a chance to have some discussions that have been overdue.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, make it a productive discussion that serves you and others -- a win-win -- otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards. Also, watch out on the road for some crazy drivers… rushing might not necessarily get us there faster ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 7-13 degrees</i><i> of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this aspect more strongly than otherwise.</i><i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (April 5th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Sagittarius</strong> </em><strong>all day </strong>(see Wednesday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:22am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Sunday morning (April 1st) on; it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening (April 9th). </strong>Due to the Mercury Retrograde phase, we get to experience this aspect several times; this is the second pass within the last 25 days. This gives us a chance to address our approach toward any misunderstandings.\r\n\r\nThis aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature. Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps? Is there anything that came up in mid March that needs to be readdressed? If so, this is your chance... ;-)\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to your passions, while remaining committed to exploring them one step at a time. What is my life calling me to explore? Could I go for it (one step at a time)?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 6-12 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn,  Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Saturn rules Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (April 6th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Sagittarius</strong> </em><strong>until 2:01pm EDT </strong>(see Wednesday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 9:36am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 4.5 hours, <strong>until 2:01pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self — explore, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday morning and afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 2:01pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Sunday late evening</strong>.<b> </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it\'s still transiting through Sagittarius until Tuesday late evening, making this a great time to take a long, last look at our belief structures, explore limiting beliefs and bust through conditioned thought structures. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at the \"meaning of life\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, be authentic about your beliefs: Do they actually match your direct experience of life -- as it is for you now, rather than 5 or 10 years ago? What is true as of now? What is not? This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Sunday very early morning).\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Friday, </b><i>Pluto slows down (or \"stations\")</i>, getting ready to come to a halt on April 22nd, when it will begin its 5-month retrograde phase. This makes its energy more exalted in the sky <strong>for</strong> <strong>the next 4 weeks</strong><i>. </i>When an outer planet stations, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us -- and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\r\n\r\nPluto is associated with our soul purpose. It relates to the process of empowerment -- our ability to feel empowered from within, through the experience of wholeness -- and to our deepest passions. It is also associated with transformation, for example our ability to transform darkness into light or \"death\" into \"rebirth\". Those terms don\'t necessarily refer to physical death or rebirth, but rather some sort of ending and beginning.\r\n\r\nTo get to a place of truthfulness on the soul level, Pluto will remove what no longer serves us, replacing it with something new -- something fully aligned with our deepest passions and soul purpose. When we resist the deep changes Pluto brings, we tend to suffer; on the other hand, when we surrender and allow for that process to take place, we will move to a place of greater authenticity -- and feel a newness and empowerment from within.\r\n\r\nThe Pluto station in <strong>Capricorn</strong> amplifies our need for accomplishment and authenticity in the world that we are building not only for ourselves, but for future generations. It also sends a message about empowering ourselves and transforming anything that is no longer congruent with our long-term-goals.\r\n\r\nBecause we are placing so much focus on building and succeeding, we need to be extra aware of how much self-care we are allowing ourselves to receive at this time: as best you can, allow balance between striving for accomplishment and nurturing yourself. Reach out for support if you start to feel burned out or find yourself going down the \"rabbit-hole\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take a closer look at whatever is \"in your face\" <b>for the next 4 weeks.</b> Look for what might no longer be in alignment with your soul\'s purpose (your deep authentic Self). Ask yourself: Where am I holding on, out of fear? What habits, behaviors or fears are holding me back from feeling fully empowered from within? What would it look like, if I was fully aligned with my Soul-purpose? How would it feel? When we confront our fears we very often discover hidden gifts and strengths.\r\n\r\nYou might also want to watch my latest Forum; we looked at the Pluto station in relationship to our birth charts. Other than <a href=\"http://goo.gl/D0P2Rk\">booking a reading</a> with me, the Forum is the highest level of support you can get -- and it\'s only $37 for the \"90+ minute\" webinar. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product-category/webinars/\">Click here to add the April Forecasting Forum to your cart.</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Aries, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this station more strongly.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio). </i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (April 7th)</strong>: t<em>he Moon remains in <i>practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><strong>Capricorn</strong> </em><strong>all day </strong>(see Friday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday late morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 9:37am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on; it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening (April 9th). </strong>This signals a time when we don\'t take connections with others lightly; we are more attracted to long-term commitment than to \"casual\".\r\n\r\nWe feel a strong sense of responsibility to loved ones and see ourselves generally as responsible and trustworthy. We have increased sensitivity to the needs of others. Mutual respect and loyalty become especially important to us at this time; this can strengthen and refresh old friendships too.\r\n\r\nWe bring more maturity, respect and integrity to interactions -- and this is a good time to approach \"elders\" and authority figures for their input. This doesn\'t have to be \"solemn\" though: What if you connected to yourself and others for appreciation of the little things that bring beauty and peace? If a flower had a message about the process of maturing, what might that message be? What might a tree have to say on the subject?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 6-12 degrees of</i><b><i> Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be blessed by this aspect more than others.

However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to April 15th New Moon in <b>Aries</b>. With the last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us to take a look at what needs to be completed. What -- if anything -- needs last-minute adjustments? What did you discover since March 17th? What did it mean for you?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 16-21 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Aries, Libra, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late morning</strong>, <em>a Mars/Saturn alignment in almost 9 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> becomes exact at 11:44am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last Thursday (March 29th) on, it will be strong until this Saturday (April 7th)</strong>. This is a message to take it slow and steady and bring some focus to our endeavors.\r\n\r\nThe last Mars/Saturn cycle started in late August 2016 (in almost 10 degrees of Sagittarius), it is now coming to an end -- and the new cycle will last until late March 2020.\r\n\r\nWe need to learn to harness our enthusiasm and look at the reality of things. If we want to make progress right now, we need to take it one step at a time. As best as you can, be sure to build a solid foundation before zooming ahead.\r\n\r\nGiven that this alignment is taking place in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, we are invited to take a closer look at real-world, long-term physical manifestation, and at the practical implications of our actions. We must recognize that an undivided focus on such things can help us achieve our goals just as much as our talents and ambition.\r\n\r\nThis is also a great time to commit to a new project connected to social responsibilities, or career building; it could also be connected to government or social structures.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What would a stable foundation for my projects look like? What is something truly responsible I could do (small or large)?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in 6-12 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></i><b><i><strong>,</strong> Cancer, Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i> will be most affected by this alignment.

We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:05am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Sunday evening (April 1st) on; it will remain strong until this Saturday </strong><b>morning.</b> This aspect<i> </i>could bring some juicy energy to our conversations -- a chance to have some discussions that have been overdue.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, make it a productive discussion that serves you and others -- a win-win -- otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards. Also, watch out on the road for some crazy drivers… rushing might not necessarily get us there faster ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 7-13 degrees</i><i> of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>?

This gives us a chance to address our approach toward any misunderstandings.\r\n\r\nThis aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature. Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps? Is there anything that came up in mid March that needs to be readdressed? If so, this is your chance... ;-)\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to your passions, while remaining committed to exploring them one step at a time. What is my life calling me to explore? Could I go for it (one step at a time)?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 6-12 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn,  Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Saturn rules Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (April 6th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Sagittarius</strong> </em><strong>until 2:01pm EDT </strong>(see Wednesday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 9:36am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 4.5 hours, <strong>until 2:01pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self — explore, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday morning and afternoon ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon trines Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 2:01pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Sunday late evening</strong>.<b> </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it\'s still transiting through Sagittarius until Tuesday late evening, making this a great time to take a long, last look at our belief structures, explore limiting beliefs and bust through conditioned thought structures. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at the \"meaning of life\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, be authentic about your beliefs: Do they actually match your direct experience of life -- as it is for you now, rather than 5 or 10 years ago? What is true as of now? What is not? This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Sunday very early morning).\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Friday, </b><i>Pluto slows down (or \"stations\")</i>, getting ready to come to a halt on April 22nd, when it will begin its 5-month retrograde phase. This makes its energy more exalted in the sky <strong>for</strong> <strong>the next 4 weeks</strong><i>. </i>When an outer planet stations, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us -- and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\r\n\r\nPluto is associated with our soul purpose. It relates to the process of empowerment -- our ability to feel empowered from within, through the experience of wholeness -- and to our deepest passions. It is also associated with transformation, for example our ability to transform darkness into light or \"death\" into \"rebirth\". Those terms don\'t necessarily refer to physical death or rebirth, but rather some sort of ending and beginning.\r\n\r\nTo get to a place of truthfulness on the soul level, Pluto will remove what no longer serves us, replacing it with something new -- something fully aligned with our deepest passions and soul purpose. When we resist the deep changes Pluto brings, we tend to suffer; on the other hand, when we surrender and allow for that process to take place, we will move to a place of greater authenticity -- and feel a newness and empowerment from within.\r\n\r\nThe Pluto station in <strong>Capricorn</strong> amplifies our need for accomplishment and authenticity in the world that we are building not only for ourselves, but for future generations. It also sends a message about empowering ourselves and transforming anything that is no longer congruent with our long-term-goals.\r\n\r\nBecause we are placing so much focus on building and succeeding, we need to be extra aware of how much self-care we are allowing ourselves to receive at this time: as best you can, allow balance between striving for accomplishment and nurturing yourself. Reach out for support if you start to feel burned out or find yourself going down the \"rabbit-hole\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take a closer look at whatever is \"in your face\" <b>for the next 4 weeks.</b> Look for what might no longer be in alignment with your soul\'s purpose (your deep authentic Self). Ask yourself: Where am I holding on, out of fear? What habits, behaviors or fears are holding me back from feeling fully empowered from within? What would it look like, if I was fully aligned with my Soul-purpose? How would it feel? When we confront our fears we very often discover hidden gifts and strengths.\r\n\r\nYou might also want to watch my latest Forum; we looked at the Pluto station in relationship to our birth charts. Other than <a href=\"http://goo.gl/D0P2Rk\">booking a reading</a> with me, the Forum is the highest level of support you can get -- and it\'s only $37 for the \"90+ minute\" webinar. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product-category/webinars/\">Click here to add the April Forecasting Forum to your cart.</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Aries, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>?

We have increased sensitivity to the needs of others. Mutual respect and loyalty become especially important to us at this time; this can strengthen and refresh old friendships too.\r\n\r\nWe bring more maturity, respect and integrity to interactions -- and this is a good time to approach \"elders\" and authority figures for their input. This doesn\'t have to be \"solemn\" though: What if you connected to yourself and others for appreciation of the little things that bring beauty and peace? If a flower had a message about the process of maturing, what might that message be? What might a tree have to say on the subject?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 6-12 degrees of</i><b><i> Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to <span style=\"color: #993300;\">April 15th</span> New Moon in <b>Aries</b>. With the last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us to take a look at what needs to be completed. What -- if anything -- needs last-minute adjustments?

What did it mean for you?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 16-21 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Aries, Libra, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late morning</strong>, <em>a Mars/Saturn alignment in almost 9 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> becomes exact at 11:44am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last Thursday (March 29th) on, it will be strong until this Saturday (April 7th)</strong>. This is a message to take it slow and steady and bring some focus to our endeavors.\r\n\r\nThe last Mars/Saturn cycle started in late August 2016 (in almost 10 degrees of Sagittarius), it is now coming to an end -- and the new cycle will last until late March 2020.\r\n\r\nWe need to learn to harness our enthusiasm and look at the reality of things. If we want to make progress right now, we need to take it one step at a time. As best as you can, be sure to build a solid foundation before zooming ahead.\r\n\r\nGiven that this alignment is taking place in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, we are invited to take a closer look at real-world, long-term physical manifestation, and at the practical implications of our actions. We must recognize that an undivided focus on such things can help us achieve our goals just as much as our talents and ambition.\r\n\r\nThis is also a great time to commit to a new project connected to social responsibilities, or career building; it could also be connected to government or social structures.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What would a stable foundation for my projects look like?

We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:05am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Sunday evening (April 1st) on; it will remain strong until this Saturday </strong><b>morning.</b> This aspect<i> </i>could bring some juicy energy to our conversations -- a chance to have some discussions that have been overdue.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, make it a productive discussion that serves you and others -- a win-win -- otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards. Also, watch out on the road for some crazy drivers… rushing might not necessarily get us there faster ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 7-13 degrees</i><i> of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>?

This gives us a chance to address our approach toward any misunderstandings.\r\n\r\nThis aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature. Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps? Is there anything that came up in mid March that needs to be readdressed? If so, this is your chance... ;-)\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to your passions, while remaining committed to exploring them one step at a time. What is my life calling me to explore? Could I go for it (one step at a time)?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 6-12 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn,  Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Saturn rules Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (April 6th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Sagittarius</strong> </em><strong>until 2:01pm EDT </strong>(see Wednesday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 9:36am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 4.5 hours, <strong>until 2:01pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self — explore, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday morning and afternoon ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon trines Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 2:01pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Sunday late evening</strong>.<b> </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it\'s still transiting through Sagittarius until Tuesday late evening, making this a great time to take a long, last look at our belief structures, explore limiting beliefs and bust through conditioned thought structures. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at the \"meaning of life\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, be authentic about your beliefs: Do they actually match your direct experience of life -- as it is for you now, rather than 5 or 10 years ago? What is true as of now? What is not? This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Sunday very early morning).\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Friday, </b><i>Pluto slows down (or \"stations\")</i>, getting ready to come to a halt on April 22nd, when it will begin its 5-month retrograde phase. This makes its energy more exalted in the sky <strong>for</strong> <strong>the next 4 weeks</strong><i>. </i>When an outer planet stations, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us -- and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\r\n\r\nPluto is associated with our soul purpose. It relates to the process of empowerment -- our ability to feel empowered from within, through the experience of wholeness -- and to our deepest passions. It is also associated with transformation, for example our ability to transform darkness into light or \"death\" into \"rebirth\". Those terms don\'t necessarily refer to physical death or rebirth, but rather some sort of ending and beginning.\r\n\r\nTo get to a place of truthfulness on the soul level, Pluto will remove what no longer serves us, replacing it with something new -- something fully aligned with our deepest passions and soul purpose. When we resist the deep changes Pluto brings, we tend to suffer; on the other hand, when we surrender and allow for that process to take place, we will move to a place of greater authenticity -- and feel a newness and empowerment from within.\r\n\r\nThe Pluto station in <strong>Capricorn</strong> amplifies our need for accomplishment and authenticity in the world that we are building not only for ourselves, but for future generations. It also sends a message about empowering ourselves and transforming anything that is no longer congruent with our long-term-goals.\r\n\r\nBecause we are placing so much focus on building and succeeding, we need to be extra aware of how much self-care we are allowing ourselves to receive at this time: as best you can, allow balance between striving for accomplishment and nurturing yourself. Reach out for support if you start to feel burned out or find yourself going down the \"rabbit-hole\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take a closer look at whatever is \"in your face\" <b>for the next 4 weeks.</b> Look for what might no longer be in alignment with your soul\'s purpose (your deep authentic Self). Ask yourself: Where am I holding on, out of fear? What habits, behaviors or fears are holding me back from feeling fully empowered from within? What would it look like, if I was fully aligned with my Soul-purpose? How would it feel? When we confront our fears we very often discover hidden gifts and strengths.\r\n\r\nYou might also want to watch my latest Forum; we looked at the Pluto station in relationship to our birth charts. Other than <a href=\"http://goo.gl/D0P2Rk\">booking a reading</a> with me, the Forum is the highest level of support you can get -- and it\'s only $37 for the \"90+ minute\" webinar. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product-category/webinars/\">Click here to add the April Forecasting Forum to your cart.</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Aries, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>?

We have increased sensitivity to the needs of others. Mutual respect and loyalty become especially important to us at this time; this can strengthen and refresh old friendships too.\r\n\r\nWe bring more maturity, respect and integrity to interactions -- and this is a good time to approach \"elders\" and authority figures for their input. This doesn\'t have to be \"solemn\" though: What if you connected to yourself and others for appreciation of the little things that bring beauty and peace? If a flower had a message about the process of maturing, what might that message be? What might a tree have to say on the subject?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 6-12 degrees of</i><b><i> Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to April 15th New Moon in <b>Aries</b>. With the last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us to take a look at what needs to be completed. What -- if anything -- needs last-minute adjustments? What did you discover since March 17th? What did it mean for you?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 16-21 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Aries, Libra, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late morning</strong>, <em>a Mars/Saturn alignment in almost 9 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> becomes exact at 11:44am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last Thursday (March 29th) on, it will be strong until this Saturday (April 7th)</strong>. This is a message to take it slow and steady and bring some focus to our endeavors.\r\n\r\nThe last Mars/Saturn cycle started in late August 2016 (in almost 10 degrees of Sagittarius), it is now coming to an end -- and the new cycle will last until late March 2020.\r\n\r\nWe need to learn to harness our enthusiasm and look at the reality of things. If we want to make progress right now, we need to take it one step at a time. As best as you can, be sure to build a solid foundation before zooming ahead.\r\n\r\nGiven that this alignment is taking place in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, we are invited to take a closer look at real-world, long-term physical manifestation, and at the practical implications of our actions. We must recognize that an undivided focus on such things can help us achieve our goals just as much as our talents and ambition.\r\n\r\nThis is also a great time to commit to a new project connected to social responsibilities, or career building; it could also be connected to government or social structures.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What would a stable foundation for my projects look like?

You may also want to plan Tuesday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon conjuncts Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (April 4th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><strong> until 2:55am EDT </strong>(see Monday and Tuesday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 2:55am EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i>, </b>where it will journey<i> <strong>until Friday afternoon</strong></i><b>. </b>We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:05am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Sunday evening (April 1st) on; it will remain strong until this Saturday </strong><b>morning.</b> This aspect<i> </i>could bring some juicy energy to our conversations -- a chance to have some discussions that have been overdue.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, make it a productive discussion that serves you and others -- a win-win -- otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards. Also, watch out on the road for some crazy drivers… rushing might not necessarily get us there faster ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 7-13 degrees</i><i> of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this aspect more strongly than otherwise.</i><i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (April 5th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Sagittarius</strong> </em><strong>all day </strong>(see Wednesday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:22am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Sunday morning (April 1st) on; it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening (April 9th). </strong>Due to the Mercury Retrograde phase, we get to experience this aspect several times; this is the second pass within the last 25 days. This gives us a chance to address our approach toward any misunderstandings.\r\n\r\nThis aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature. Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps? Is there anything that came up in mid March that needs to be readdressed? If so, this is your chance... ;-)\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to your passions, while remaining committed to exploring them one step at a time. What is my life calling me to explore? Could I go for it (one step at a time)?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 6-12 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn,  Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Saturn rules Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (April 6th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Sagittarius</strong> </em><strong>until 2:01pm EDT </strong>(see Wednesday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 9:36am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 4.5 hours, <strong>until 2:01pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self — explore, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday morning and afternoon ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon trines Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 2:01pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Sunday late evening</strong>.<b> </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it\'s still transiting through Sagittarius until Tuesday late evening, making this a great time to take a long, last look at our belief structures, explore limiting beliefs and bust through conditioned thought structures. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at the \"meaning of life\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, be authentic about your beliefs: Do they actually match your direct experience of life -- as it is for you now, rather than 5 or 10 years ago? What is true as of now? What is not? This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Sunday very early morning).\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Friday, </b><i>Pluto slows down (or \"stations\")</i>, getting ready to come to a halt on April 22nd, when it will begin its 5-month retrograde phase. This makes its energy more exalted in the sky <strong>for</strong> <strong>the next 4 weeks</strong><i>. </i>When an outer planet stations, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us -- and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\r\n\r\nPluto is associated with our soul purpose. It relates to the process of empowerment -- our ability to feel empowered from within, through the experience of wholeness -- and to our deepest passions. It is also associated with transformation, for example our ability to transform darkness into light or \"death\" into \"rebirth\". Those terms don\'t necessarily refer to physical death or rebirth, but rather some sort of ending and beginning.\r\n\r\nTo get to a place of truthfulness on the soul level, Pluto will remove what no longer serves us, replacing it with something new -- something fully aligned with our deepest passions and soul purpose. When we resist the deep changes Pluto brings, we tend to suffer; on the other hand, when we surrender and allow for that process to take place, we will move to a place of greater authenticity -- and feel a newness and empowerment from within.\r\n\r\nThe Pluto station in <strong>Capricorn</strong> amplifies our need for accomplishment and authenticity in the world that we are building not only for ourselves, but for future generations. It also sends a message about empowering ourselves and transforming anything that is no longer congruent with our long-term-goals.\r\n\r\nBecause we are placing so much focus on building and succeeding, we need to be extra aware of how much self-care we are allowing ourselves to receive at this time: as best you can, allow balance between striving for accomplishment and nurturing yourself. Reach out for support if you start to feel burned out or find yourself going down the \"rabbit-hole\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take a closer look at whatever is \"in your face\" <b>for the next 4 weeks.</b> Look for what might no longer be in alignment with your soul\'s purpose (your deep authentic Self). Ask yourself: Where am I holding on, out of fear? What habits, behaviors or fears are holding me back from feeling fully empowered from within? What would it look like, if I was fully aligned with my Soul-purpose? How would it feel? When we confront our fears we very often discover hidden gifts and strengths.\r\n\r\nYou might also want to watch my latest Forum; we looked at the Pluto station in relationship to our birth charts. Other than <a href=\"http://goo.gl/D0P2Rk\">booking a reading</a> with me, the Forum is the highest level of support you can get -- and it\'s only $37 for the \"90+ minute\" webinar. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product-category/webinars/\">Click here to add the April Forecasting Forum to your cart.</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Aries, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>?

We have increased sensitivity to the needs of others. Mutual respect and loyalty become especially important to us at this time; this can strengthen and refresh old friendships too.\r\n\r\nWe bring more maturity, respect and integrity to interactions -- and this is a good time to approach \"elders\" and authority figures for their input. This doesn\'t have to be \"solemn\" though: What if you connected to yourself and others for appreciation of the little things that bring beauty and peace? If a flower had a message about the process of maturing, what might that message be? What might a tree have to say on the subject?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 6-12 degrees of</i><b><i> Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to April 15th New Moon in <b>Aries</b>. With the last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us to take a look at what needs to be completed. What -- if anything -- needs last-minute adjustments? What did you discover since March 17th? What did it mean for you?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 16-21 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Aries, Libra, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\n\nThe Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us.

It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\n\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\n\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\n\n<strong>Monday late morning</strong>, <em>a Mars/Saturn alignment in almost 9 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> becomes exact at 11:44am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last Thursday (March 29th) on, it will be strong until this Saturday (April 7th)</strong>. This is a message to take it slow and steady and bring some focus to our endeavors.\n\nThe last Mars/Saturn cycle started in late August 2016 (in almost 10 degrees of Sagittarius), it is now coming to an end -- and the new cycle will last until late March 2020.\n\nWe need to learn to harness our enthusiasm and look at the reality of things. If we want to make progress right now, we need to take it one step at a time. As best as you can, be sure to build a solid foundation before zooming ahead.\n\nGiven that this alignment is taking place in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, we are invited to take a closer look at real-world, long-term physical manifestation, and at the practical implications of our actions. We must recognize that an undivided focus on such things can help us achieve our goals just as much as our talents and ambition.\n\nThis is also a great time to commit to a new project connected to social responsibilities, or career building; it could also be connected to government or social structures.\n\nAsk yourself: What would a stable foundation for my projects look like? What is something truly responsible I could do (small or large)?\n\n<i>Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in 6-12 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></i><b><i><strong>,</strong> Cancer, Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i> will be most affected by this alignment.

You may also want to plan Tuesday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)\n\n<strong>Wednesday (April 4th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><strong> until 2:55am EDT </strong>(see Monday and Tuesday for details).\n\n<strong>Wednesday at 2:55am EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i>, </b>where it will journey<i> <strong>until Friday afternoon</strong></i><b>. </b>We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\n\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\n\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\n\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:05am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Sunday evening (April 1st) on; it will remain strong until this Saturday </strong><b>morning.</b> This aspect<i> </i>could bring some juicy energy to our conversations -- a chance to have some discussions that have been overdue.\n\nAs best as you can, make it a productive discussion that serves you and others -- a win-win -- otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards. Also, watch out on the road for some crazy drivers… rushing might not necessarily get us there faster ;-)\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 7-13 degrees</i><i> of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this aspect more strongly than otherwise.</i><i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries).</i>\n\n<strong>Thursday (April 5th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Sagittarius</strong> </em><strong>all day </strong>(see Wednesday very early morning for details).\n\n<strong>Thursday early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:22am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Sunday morning (April 1st) on; it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening (April 9th). </strong>Due to the Mercury Retrograde phase, we get to experience this aspect several times; this is the second pass within the last 25 days. This gives us a chance to address our approach toward any misunderstandings.\n\nThis aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature. Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\n\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce.\n\nAsk yourself: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps? Is there anything that came up in mid March that needs to be readdressed? If so, this is your chance... ;-)\n\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to your passions, while remaining committed to exploring them one step at a time. What is my life calling me to explore? Could I go for it (one step at a time)?\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 6-12 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn,  Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Saturn rules Capricorn).</i>\n\n<strong>Friday (April 6th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Sagittarius</strong> </em><strong>until 2:01pm EDT </strong>(see Wednesday very early morning for details).\n\n<strong>Friday at 9:36am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 4.5 hours, <strong>until 2:01pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self — explore, take a risk.\n\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday morning and afternoon ahead of time :-)\n\n<strong>Friday at 2:01pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Sunday late evening</strong>.<b> </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\n\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\n\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\n\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it\'s still transiting through Sagittarius until Tuesday late evening, making this a great time to take a long, last look at our belief structures, explore limiting beliefs and bust through conditioned thought structures. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at the \"meaning of life\".\n\nAs best as you can, be authentic about your beliefs: Do they actually match your direct experience of life -- as it is for you now, rather than 5 or 10 years ago? What is true as of now? What is not? This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Sunday very early morning).\n\nAlso on <b>Friday, </b><i>Pluto slows down (or \"stations\")</i>, getting ready to come to a halt on April 22nd, when it will begin its 5-month retrograde phase. This makes its energy more exalted in the sky <strong>for</strong> <strong>the next 4 weeks</strong><i>. </i>When an outer planet stations, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us -- and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\n\nPluto is associated with our soul purpose. It relates to the process of empowerment -- our ability to feel empowered from within, through the experience of wholeness -- and to our deepest passions. It is also associated with transformation, for example our ability to transform darkness into light or \"death\" into \"rebirth\". Those terms don\'t necessarily refer to physical death or rebirth, but rather some sort of ending and beginning.\n\nTo get to a place of truthfulness on the soul level, Pluto will remove what no longer serves us, replacing it with something new -- something fully aligned with our deepest passions and soul purpose. When we resist the deep changes Pluto brings, we tend to suffer; on the other hand, when we surrender and allow for that process to take place, we will move to a place of greater authenticity -- and feel a newness and empowerment from within.\n\nThe Pluto station in <strong>Capricorn</strong> amplifies our need for accomplishment and authenticity in the world that we are building not only for ourselves, but for future generations. It also sends a message about empowering ourselves and transforming anything that is no longer congruent with our long-term-goals.\n\nBecause we are placing so much focus on building and succeeding, we need to be extra aware of how much self-care we are allowing ourselves to receive at this time: as best you can, allow balance between striving for accomplishment and nurturing yourself. Reach out for support if you start to feel burned out or find yourself going down the \"rabbit-hole\".\n\nAs best as you can, take a closer look at whatever is \"in your face\" <b>for the next 4 weeks.</b> Look for what might no longer be in alignment with your soul\'s purpose (your deep authentic Self). Ask yourself: Where am I holding on, out of fear? What habits, behaviors or fears are holding me back from feeling fully empowered from within? What would it look like, if I was fully aligned with my Soul-purpose? How would it feel? When we confront our fears we very often discover hidden gifts and strengths.\n\nYou might also want to watch my latest Forum; we looked at the Pluto station in relationship to our birth charts. Other than <a href=\"http://goo.gl/D0P2Rk\">booking a reading</a> with me, the Forum is the highest level of support you can get -- and it\'s only $37 for the \"90+ minute\" webinar. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product-category/webinars/\">Click here to add the April Forecasting Forum to your cart.</a>\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Aries, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this station more strongly.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio). </i>\n\n<strong>Saturday (April 7th)</strong>: t<em>he Moon remains in <i>practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><strong>Capricorn</strong> </em><strong>all day </strong>(see Friday afternoon for details).\n\n<strong>Saturday late morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 9:37am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on; it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening (April 9th). </strong>This signals a time when we don\'t take connections with others lightly; we are more attracted to long-term commitment than to \"casual\".\n\nWe feel a strong sense of responsibility to loved ones and see ourselves generally as responsible and trustworthy. We have increased sensitivity to the needs of others. Mutual respect and loyalty become especially important to us at this time; this can strengthen and refresh old friendships too.\n\nWe bring more maturity, respect and integrity to interactions -- and this is a good time to approach \"elders\" and authority figures for their input. This doesn\'t have to be \"solemn\" though: What if you connected to yourself and others for appreciation of the little things that bring beauty and peace? If a flower had a message about the process of maturing, what might that message be?

Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> urges us to uncover our own power.

It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late morning</strong>, <em>a Mars/Saturn alignment in almost 9 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> becomes exact at 11:44am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last Thursday (March 29th) on, it will be strong until this Saturday (April 7th)</strong>. This is a message to take it slow and steady and bring some focus to our endeavors.\r\n\r\nThe last Mars/Saturn cycle started in late August 2016 (in almost 10 degrees of Sagittarius), it is now coming to an end -- and the new cycle will last until late March 2020.\r\n\r\nWe need to learn to harness our enthusiasm and look at the reality of things. If we want to make progress right now, we need to take it one step at a time. As best as you can, be sure to build a solid foundation before zooming ahead.\r\n\r\nGiven that this alignment is taking place in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, we are invited to take a closer look at real-world, long-term physical manifestation, and at the practical implications of our actions. We must recognize that an undivided focus on such things can help us achieve our goals just as much as our talents and ambition.\r\n\r\nThis is also a great time to commit to a new project connected to social responsibilities, or career building; it could also be connected to government or social structures.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What would a stable foundation for my projects look like? What is something truly responsible I could do (small or large)?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in 6-12 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></i><b><i><strong>,</strong> Cancer, Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i> will be most affected by this alignment.

You may also want to plan Tuesday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (April 4th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><strong> until 2:55am EDT </strong>(see Monday and Tuesday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 2:55am EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i>, </b>where it will journey<i> <strong>until Friday afternoon</strong></i><b>. </b>We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:05am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Sunday evening (April 1st) on; it will remain strong until this Saturday </strong><b>morning.</b> This aspect<i> </i>could bring some juicy energy to our conversations -- a chance to have some discussions that have been overdue.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, make it a productive discussion that serves you and others -- a win-win -- otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards. Also, watch out on the road for some crazy drivers… rushing might not necessarily get us there faster ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 7-13 degrees</i><i> of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this aspect more strongly than otherwise.</i><i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (April 5th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Sagittarius</strong> </em><strong>all day </strong>(see Wednesday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:22am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Sunday morning (April 1st) on; it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening (April 9th). </strong>Due to the Mercury Retrograde phase, we get to experience this aspect several times; this is the second pass within the last 25 days. This gives us a chance to address our approach toward any misunderstandings.\r\n\r\nThis aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature. Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps? Is there anything that came up in mid March that needs to be readdressed? If so, this is your chance... ;-)\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to your passions, while remaining committed to exploring them one step at a time. What is my life calling me to explore? Could I go for it (one step at a time)?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 6-12 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn,  Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Saturn rules Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (April 6th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Sagittarius</strong> </em><strong>until 2:01pm EDT </strong>(see Wednesday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 9:36am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 4.5 hours, <strong>until 2:01pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self — explore, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday morning and afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 2:01pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Sunday late evening</strong>.<b> </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it\'s still transiting through Sagittarius until Tuesday late evening, making this a great time to take a long, last look at our belief structures, explore limiting beliefs and bust through conditioned thought structures. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at the \"meaning of life\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, be authentic about your beliefs: Do they actually match your direct experience of life -- as it is for you now, rather than 5 or 10 years ago? What is true as of now? What is not? This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Sunday very early morning).\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Friday, </b><i>Pluto slows down (or \"stations\")</i>, getting ready to come to a halt on April 22nd, when it will begin its 5-month retrograde phase. This makes its energy more exalted in the sky <strong>for</strong> <strong>the next 4 weeks</strong><i>. </i>When an outer planet stations, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us -- and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\r\n\r\nPluto is associated with our soul purpose. It relates to the process of empowerment -- our ability to feel empowered from within, through the experience of wholeness -- and to our deepest passions. It is also associated with transformation, for example our ability to transform darkness into light or \"death\" into \"rebirth\". Those terms don\'t necessarily refer to physical death or rebirth, but rather some sort of ending and beginning.\r\n\r\nTo get to a place of truthfulness on the soul level, Pluto will remove what no longer serves us, replacing it with something new -- something fully aligned with our deepest passions and soul purpose. When we resist the deep changes Pluto brings, we tend to suffer; on the other hand, when we surrender and allow for that process to take place, we will move to a place of greater authenticity -- and feel a newness and empowerment from within.\r\n\r\nThe Pluto station in <strong>Capricorn</strong> amplifies our need for accomplishment and authenticity in the world that we are building not only for ourselves, but for future generations. It also sends a message about empowering ourselves and transforming anything that is no longer congruent with our long-term-goals.\r\n\r\nBecause we are placing so much focus on building and succeeding, we need to be extra aware of how much self-care we are allowing ourselves to receive at this time: as best you can, allow balance between striving for accomplishment and nurturing yourself. Reach out for support if you start to feel burned out or find yourself going down the \"rabbit-hole\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take a closer look at whatever is \"in your face\" <b>for the next 4 weeks.</b> Look for what might no longer be in alignment with your soul\'s purpose (your deep authentic Self). Ask yourself: Where am I holding on, out of fear? What habits, behaviors or fears are holding me back from feeling fully empowered from within? What would it look like, if I was fully aligned with my Soul-purpose? How would it feel? When we confront our fears we very often discover hidden gifts and strengths.\r\n\r\nYou might also want to watch my latest Forum; we looked at the Pluto station in relationship to our birth charts. Other than <a href=\"http://goo.gl/D0P2Rk\">booking a reading</a> with me, the Forum is the highest level of support you can get -- and it\'s only $37 for the \"90+ minute\" webinar. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product-category/webinars/\">Click here to add the April Forecasting Forum to your cart.</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Aries, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>?

We have increased sensitivity to the needs of others. Mutual respect and loyalty become especially important to us at this time; this can strengthen and refresh old friendships too.\r\n\r\nWe bring more maturity, respect and integrity to interactions -- and this is a good time to approach \"elders\" and authority figures for their input. This doesn\'t have to be \"solemn\" though: What if you connected to yourself and others for appreciation of the little things that bring beauty and peace? If a flower had a message about the process of maturing, what might that message be?

Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late morning</strong>, <em>a Mars/Saturn alignment in almost 9 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> becomes exact at 11:44am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last Thursday (March 29th) on, it will be strong until this Saturday (April 7th)</strong>. This is a message to take it slow and steady and bring some focus to our endeavors.\r\n\r\nThe last Mars/Saturn cycle started in late August 2016 (in almost 10 degrees of Sagittarius), it is now coming to an end -- and the new cycle will last until late March 2020.\r\n\r\nWe need to learn to harness our enthusiasm and look at the reality of things. If we want to make progress right now, we need to take it one step at a time. As best as you can, be sure to build a solid foundation before zooming ahead.\r\n\r\nGiven that this alignment is taking place in <strong>Capricorn</strong>, we are invited to take a closer look at real-world, long-term physical manifestation, and at the practical implications of our actions. We must recognize that an undivided focus on such things can help us achieve our goals just as much as our talents and ambition.\r\n\r\nThis is also a great time to commit to a new project connected to social responsibilities, or career building; it could also be connected to government or social structures.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What would a stable foundation for my projects look like? What is something truly responsible I could do (small or large)?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in 6-12 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></i><b><i><strong>,</strong> Cancer, Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i> will be most affected by this alignment. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> (Mars rules Aries; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\nAlso, <b>Monday before 12pm EDT</b>: last chance to sign up for my MONTHLY FORECASTING FORUM -- live<b> at </b>10am PST/<b>1pm EDT</b>/6pm BST (London-time).<b> Please note that Saturn and Pluto will Station and go Retrograde in April, and Mars, the warrior archetype, will be part of this mix as we\'ll. </b>If you want to know how these planetary movements are going to impact you personally, join me live or sign up for your mp4-video recording.\r\n\r\nOther than <a href=\"http://goo.gl/D0P2Rk\">booking a reading</a> with me, this is the highest level of support you can get -- and it\'s now $37 for the 90+ minute webinar. <b>If you would like to join live</b>, please keep in mind that <b>registration will close an hour before the live event begins</b>, if you register after 12pm EDT on Monday you will receive the mp4-video recording of the webinar.\r\n\r\n<strong>To join for FREE</strong>, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\">become a Star or SuperStar Member</a> on my site.\r\n<strong><a href=\"http://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">To register at the regular fee and get access to the Members-only Full Moon video, click here</a></strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Already a Member?</strong> You will receive an invitation to join us live automatically via email and a recording within 24-hours of the live event (also via email).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (April 3rd)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em> <strong>all day </strong>(see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 12:06pm EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 15 hours, <strong>until 2:55am EDT (Wednesday very early morning)</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with others on a deep emotional level, and explore greater truths about your ability to make those authentic connections.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday afternoon and evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (April 4th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><strong> until 2:55am EDT </strong>(see Monday and Tuesday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 2:55am EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i>, </b>where it will journey<i> <strong>until Friday afternoon</strong></i><b>. </b>We\'re strongly motivated to explore and learn. We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:05am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Sunday evening (April 1st) on; it will remain strong until this Saturday </strong><b>morning.</b> This aspect<i> </i>could bring some juicy energy to our conversations -- a chance to have some discussions that have been overdue.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, make it a productive discussion that serves you and others -- a win-win -- otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards. Also, watch out on the road for some crazy drivers… rushing might not necessarily get us there faster ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 7-13 degrees</i><i> of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this aspect more strongly than otherwise.</i><i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (April 5th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Sagittarius</strong> </em><strong>all day </strong>(see Wednesday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:22am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Sunday morning (April 1st) on; it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening (April 9th). </strong>Due to the Mercury Retrograde phase, we get to experience this aspect several times; this is the second pass within the last 25 days. This gives us a chance to address our approach toward any misunderstandings.\r\n\r\nThis aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature. Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps? Is there anything that came up in mid March that needs to be readdressed? If so, this is your chance... ;-)\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to your passions, while remaining committed to exploring them one step at a time. What is my life calling me to explore? Could I go for it (one step at a time)?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 6-12 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn,  Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Saturn rules Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (April 6th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Sagittarius</strong> </em><strong>until 2:01pm EDT </strong>(see Wednesday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 9:36am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 4.5 hours, <strong>until 2:01pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self — explore, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday morning and afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 2:01pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <b>until Monday very early morning</b>.<b> </b>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it\'s still transiting through Sagittarius until Tuesday late evening, making this a great time to take a long, last look at our belief structures, explore limiting beliefs and bust through conditioned thought structures. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at the \"meaning of life\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, be authentic about your beliefs: Do they actually match your direct experience of life -- as it is for you now, rather than 5 or 10 years ago? What is true as of now? What is not? This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Sunday very early morning).\r\n\r\nAlso on <b>Friday, </b><i>Pluto slows down (or \"stations\")</i>, getting ready to come to a halt on April 22nd, when it will begin its 5-month retrograde phase. This makes its energy more exalted in the sky <strong>for</strong> <strong>the next 4 weeks</strong><i>. </i>When an outer planet stations, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us -- and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\r\n\r\nPluto is associated with our soul purpose. It relates to the process of empowerment -- our ability to feel empowered from within, through the experience of wholeness -- and to our deepest passions. It is also associated with transformation, for example our ability to transform darkness into light or \"death\" into \"rebirth\". Those terms don\'t necessarily refer to physical death or rebirth, but rather some sort of ending and beginning.\r\n\r\nTo get to a place of truthfulness on the soul level, Pluto will remove what no longer serves us, replacing it with something new -- something fully aligned with our deepest passions and soul purpose. When we resist the deep changes Pluto brings, we tend to suffer; on the other hand, when we surrender and allow for that process to take place, we will move to a place of greater authenticity -- and feel a newness and empowerment from within.\r\n\r\nThe Pluto station in <strong>Capricorn</strong> amplifies our need for accomplishment and authenticity in the world that we are building not only for ourselves, but for future generations. It also sends a message about empowering ourselves and transforming anything that is no longer congruent with our long-term-goals.\r\n\r\nBecause we are placing so much focus on building and succeeding, we need to be extra aware of how much self-care we are allowing ourselves to receive at this time: as best you can, allow balance between striving for accomplishment and nurturing yourself. Reach out for support if you start to feel burned out or find yourself going down the \"rabbit-hole\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take a closer look at whatever is \"in your face\" <b>for the next 4 weeks.</b> Look for what might no longer be in alignment with your soul\'s purpose (your deep authentic Self). Ask yourself: Where am I holding on, out of fear? What habits, behaviors or fears are holding me back from feeling fully empowered from within? What would it look like, if I was fully aligned with my Soul-purpose? How would it feel? When we confront our fears we very often discover hidden gifts and strengths.\r\n\r\nYou might also want to watch my latest Forum; we looked at the Pluto station in relationship to our birth charts. Other than <a href=\"http://goo.gl/D0P2Rk\">booking a reading</a> with me, the Forum is the highest level of support you can get -- and it\'s only $37 for the \"90+ minute\" webinar. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product-category/webinars/\">Click here to add the April Forecasting Forum to your cart.</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Aries, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this station more strongly.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio). </i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (April 7th)</strong>: t<em>he Moon remains in <i>practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><strong>Capricorn</strong> </em><strong>all day </strong>(see Friday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday late morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 9:37am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on; it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening (April 9th). </strong>This signals a time when we don\'t take connections with others lightly; we are more attracted to long-term commitment than to \"casual\".\r\n\r\nWe feel a strong sense of responsibility to loved ones and see ourselves generally as responsible and trustworthy. We have increased sensitivity to the needs of others. Mutual respect and loyalty become especially important to us at this time; this can strengthen and refresh old friendships too.\r\n\r\nWe bring more maturity, respect and integrity to interactions -- and this is a good time to approach \"elders\" and authority figures for their input. This doesn\'t have to be \"solemn\" though: What if you connected to yourself and others for appreciation of the little things that bring beauty and peace? If a flower had a message about the process of maturing, what might that message be? What might a tree have to say on the subject?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 6-12 degrees of</i><b><i> Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

However, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to April 15th New Moon in <b>Aries</b>. With the last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us to take a look at what needs to be completed. What -- if anything -- needs last-minute adjustments? What did you discover since March 17th? What did it mean for you?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 16-21 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Aries, Libra, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

Major shifts ahead!\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: <span style=\"color: #993300;\">Saturn starts to slow down (station) on Monday, and its station phase will intensify on Saturday; Mercury begins its Station phase as well on Tuesday, this will intensify on Friday and it will come to a halt -- ending it\'s retrograde phase -- on Sunday morning; the Balsamic Moon phase becomes exact on Thursday evening; and the New Moon in Aries becomes exact on Sunday late evening.</span>\r\n\r\nThere will be two <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: Wednesday late morning (for almost 4 hours) and Friday morning (for almost 16 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (April 9th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><strong>Capricorn</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 2:50am EDT. </strong><strong>At that point</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <b><strong>until Wednesday afternoon</strong>. </b>The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Monday</strong>, <b> </b><i>Saturn slows down (stations) in 9 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i> <i>\"Stationing\" is when a planet </i>moves more slowly through the sky. When a planet stations, its energy becomes more \"exalted\"; in the case of Saturn, this means we all feel the need to more fully face what is currently so, our actual reality.\r\n\r\nSaturn has to do with doing what needs to be done -- so we can fully understand the practical implications of our reality, and the consequences of our past actions. Saturn also represents our structures, responsibilities, commitments and ability to \"do\" life, on life\'s terms.\r\n\r\nAs spirit beings in a physical world, it\'s best to observe the laws of the physical world. The sooner we learn to \"play by the rules\", the easier life gets. Saturn also represents time and the \"domain\" of time: growing up, maturing, understanding our limitations, setting healthy boundaries with others, living with integrity, being authentic and truthful, being serious and focused on building something of value to society.\r\n\r\nSaturn is our teacher. If you had a cosmic teacher, what would your personal \"earth class\" be in, right now? Where are you being asked to look at your long-term goals and ambitons and became more mature? What calls for a commitment towards building a solid foundation? What will time do?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during the time of the station, bring flexibility and open-mindedness to any frustrations. The station-phase will last <b>until April 24th</b> -- and Saturn will start its 5-month retrograde phase on April 17th…\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in </i><b><i>7-11 degrees of  Capricorn, Cancer, Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>?

Major shifts ahead!\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: <span style=\"color: #993300;\">Saturn starts to slow down (station) on Monday, and its station phase will intensify on Saturday; Mercury begins its Station phase as well on Tuesday, this will intensify on Friday and it will come to a halt -- ending it\'s retrograde phase -- on Sunday morning; the Balsamic Moon phase becomes exact on Thursday evening; and the New Moon in Aries becomes exact on Sunday late evening.</span>\r\n\r\nThere will be two <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: Wednesday late morning (for almost 4 hours) and Friday morning (for almost 16 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (April 9th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><strong>Capricorn</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 2:50am EDT. </strong><strong>At that point</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <b><strong>until Wednesday afternoon</strong>. </b>The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Monday</strong>, <b> </b><i>Saturn slows down (stations) in 9 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i> <i>\"Stationing\" is when a planet </i>moves more slowly through the sky. When a planet stations, its energy becomes more \"exalted\"; in the case of Saturn, this means we all feel the need to more fully face what is currently so, our actual reality.\r\n\r\nSaturn has to do with doing what needs to be done -- so we can fully understand the practical implications of our reality, and the consequences of our past actions. Saturn also represents our structures, responsibilities, commitments and ability to \"do\" life, on life\'s terms.\r\n\r\nAs spirit beings in a physical world, it\'s best to observe the laws of the physical world. The sooner we learn to \"play by the rules\", the easier life gets. Saturn also represents time and the \"domain\" of time: growing up, maturing, understanding our limitations, setting healthy boundaries with others, living with integrity, being authentic and truthful, being serious and focused on building something of value to society.\r\n\r\nSaturn is our teacher. If you had a cosmic teacher, what would your personal \"earth class\" be in, right now? Where are you being asked to look at your long-term goals and ambitons and became more mature? What calls for a commitment towards building a solid foundation? What will time do?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during the time of the station, bring flexibility and open-mindedness to any frustrations. The station-phase will last <b>until April 24th</b> -- and Saturn will start its 5-month retrograde phase on April 17th…\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in </i><b><i>7-11 degrees of  Capricorn, Cancer, Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>?

This manner stems from a deep fear of letting go and surrendering to the idea that some things cannot be directed or controlled.

For the next 10 days (<strong>until April 20th</strong><b>)</b>, we need to be patient with ourselves and others -- especially if there is a connection with communication or transportation, and their associated technologies. This is not the best time to start anything brand-new, especially if it contains new information that needs to be processed.\r\n\r\nWe might experience delays or misunderstandings, and things tend to feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time to get ready for travel somewhere -- especially if you intend to use public transportation or drive (For more details on Mercury Shadow Phases and Retrogrades, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">click here</a>)\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets (or angles) <em>in 4-6 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong>, <b>Libra</b>, </em></i><b><i>Capricorn, </i></b><i>or</i><i> </i><b><i>Cancer.</i></b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (April 11th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <strong>until 2:40pm EDT</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:03am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Friday evening (April 6th) on; it will remain strong until this Sunday.</strong> We tend to feel passionate, super-creative, and just plain energized at this time -- we have tons of vitality and warmth.\r\n\r\nThis helps us bring people together for mutual pleasure and benefit; there is also a feeling of flow around creativity and manifesting something real... If you knew it would be easy, what would you pick to create?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of <b>Taurus,</b></i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?</i><i> If so, you may feel more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars rules Aries) </i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday morning</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Sun/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 8:15am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday night</strong>. This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed if we’re to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">This aspect is a fork in the road: We could take a path that leads toward following our personal goals and inspiring others by being direct and enthusiastic. We could also take the path that will lead to us increasing our understanding of intimacy and share our resources with others. Either way, we can develop a new perspective on how to approach these things. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">If you have the choice, go deeper rather than faster -- empower yourself and others by connecting in an authentic way, being honest about your motivations. As best as you can, evaluate any projects before getting involved. Awareness is key with this aspect: What is needed?

We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (April 12th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <strong>all day</strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:26pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday night</strong>. This is an opportunity for compassion and kindness in our social interactions. We are more attuned to the subtleties of human interaction, and are more inclined to naturally cooperate with others. We tend to \"feel\" each other on an energetic level now; a sensitive approach is recommended.\r\n\r\nWe also have an opportunity to connect to our values and gifts from intuition, and use our imagination to attract what we want: When you daydream, what would you like to experience? How would it feel?\r\n\r\nRemember: opportunities are openings; they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 13-17 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune rules Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday evening,</strong> <em>the Balsamic Moon phase begins</em> -- when the Moon reaches 11 degrees of <strong>Pisces.</strong><i> </i>This lasts <b>until Sunday late evening</b>, when the New Moon in <b>Aries </b>becomes exact (for those of you who are impatiently waiting for my New Moon video, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here</a> after April 10th). We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our intuition.\r\n\r\nFor some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes. This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (April 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <strong>until 11:25pm EDT</strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 7:27am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 16 hours, <strong>until 11:25pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to explore any beliefs connected to past experiences that left you feeling disempowered: How could a compassionate approach to the past allow for a new perspective?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive.

As I mentioned on Tuesday already, during the station phase, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices.

It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait <strong>until after May 3rd</strong>, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 3-6 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (April 14th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <b>Aries</b></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Friday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday early morning</strong>, <em>an opportune Jupiter/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:58am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday (March 19th) on; it will remain strong until Tuesday (May 1st)</strong>. 19-23 degrees\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>Saturday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Mars/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:27pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until</strong></span> <strong>next week</strong><strong>, </strong><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>Wednesday evening (April 18th)</strong>. 13-17 degrees</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Saturday</strong>, <em>Saturn Station intensifies in 9 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong> </em>until April 20th.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (April 15th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <b>Aries</b></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Friday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 5:21am EDT</strong>, <em>Mercury goes direct in almost 5 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong>.</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening, at 9:57pm EDT</strong>, the <em>Moon aligns with the Sun in 26 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em>. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Aries on Friday at 11:25pm EST</strong>. 24-28 degrees\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Sunday</strong>, <em>Mercury Shadow phase begins and lasts </em>until May 3rd.\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (April 16th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Aries</strong></em><strong> until 4:51am EDT</strong> (see Friday late evening for details). <strong>At 1:59am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 3 hours, <strong>until 4:51am EDT</strong>. <strong>At 4:51am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon moves into <strong>Taurus</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday early morning</strong>. <strong>Also on Monday</strong>, the <em>Pluto Station intensifies at 21 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong> </em>until April 28th. More about all the details in next week’s forecast ;-)\r\n<h3>One Last Announcement:</h3>\r\nJoin me for my next FORECASTING FORUM, <b>Monday</b>, <b>April 30th, 2018 at </b>12pm<b> </b>PDT/<b> 3pm EDT</b>/8pm BST (London-time).<b> Please note </b>that we will be talking about Chiron in Aries and Uranus in Taurus.

Major shifts ahead!\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: <span style=\"color: #993300;\">Saturn starts to slow down (station) on Monday, and its station phase will intensify on Saturday; Mercury begins its Station phase as well on Tuesday, this will intensify on Friday and it will come to a halt -- ending it\'s retrograde phase -- on Sunday morning; the Balsamic Moon phase becomes exact on Thursday evening; and the New Moon in Aries becomes exact on Sunday late evening.</span>\r\n\r\nThere will be two <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: Wednesday late morning (for almost 4 hours) and Friday morning (for almost 16 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (April 9th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><strong>Capricorn</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 2:50am EDT. </strong><strong>At that point</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <b><strong>until Wednesday afternoon</strong>. </b>The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Monday</strong>, <b> </b><i>Saturn slows down (stations) in 9 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i> <i>\"Stationing\" is when a planet </i>moves more slowly through the sky. When a planet stations, its energy becomes more \"exalted\"; in the case of Saturn, this means we all feel the need to more fully face what is currently so, our actual reality.\r\n\r\nSaturn has to do with doing what needs to be done -- so we can fully understand the practical implications of our reality, and the consequences of our past actions. Saturn also represents our structures, responsibilities, commitments and ability to \"do\" life, on life\'s terms.\r\n\r\nAs spirit beings in a physical world, it\'s best to observe the laws of the physical world. The sooner we learn to \"play by the rules\", the easier life gets. Saturn also represents time and the \"domain\" of time: growing up, maturing, understanding our limitations, setting healthy boundaries with others, living with integrity, being authentic and truthful, being serious and focused on building something of value to society.\r\n\r\nSaturn is our teacher. If you had a cosmic teacher, what would your personal \"earth class\" be in, right now? Where are you being asked to look at your long-term goals and ambitons and became more mature? What calls for a commitment towards building a solid foundation? What will time do?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during the time of the station, bring flexibility and open-mindedness to any frustrations. The station-phase will last <b>until April 24th</b> -- and Saturn will start its 5-month retrograde phase on April 17th…\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in </i><b><i>7-11 degrees of  Capricorn, Cancer, Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this station. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>, since Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn.</i>\r\n\r\nFeel free to watch our mp4 video presentation about April\'s Saturn and Pluto Station and Retrograde phases in relationship to our own Birth charts...To purchase this webinar, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">click here. </a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Special Offer:</strong> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-) <b>Please note </b>that we will be talking about Chiron moving into Aries and Uranus moving into Taurus, in our next Forum. Major shifts ahead!\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (April 10th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <strong>all day</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday night/</strong>Wednesday very early morning, <em>a challenging Sun/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:54am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening (April 7th) on; it will remain strong until this Friday night (April 13th)</strong>. What we identify ourselves with could now be challenged. This aspect forces us to confront our will, power, assertion, and authority.\r\n\r\nComing into focus now: the relationship with a father- or other important male-figures. We may face the need to be more independent, assertive, and autonomous.\r\n\r\nWe may alienate others with a controlling, jealous, or overbearing manner. This manner stems from a deep fear of letting go and surrendering to the idea that some things cannot be directed or controlled. We are learning to detach from (let go of) something or someone that no longer serves us -- the \"something\" could include attitudes.\r\n\r\nThis fear may lead us to compulsive, suspicious, or difficult behavior, costing us the very thing that we hold dear. As best as you can, open yourself up to the power of love within. When you do, you will discover your own strength, and rework your very identity. Perhaps most importantly, this aspect puts us face to face with <i>exactly</i> what\'s been holding us back from leading a fuller, more meaningful life.\r\n\r\nWe may have to make some changes or adjustments between our immediate personal desires and our long-term goals. As best as you can, be open to receiving feedback from others during this time.\r\n\r\nIf you feel pressured into doing something or you feel a power struggle build, as best as you can, get centered, get grounded and open your heart and mind. This aspect is a major growth opportunity for us: we struggle with buried elements of our personality and ego, learning to face, accept and transform them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra,  </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (the Sun is the ruler of Leo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso <strong>on Tuesday</strong>, <i>Mercury starts to slow down again (“stationing”).</i><i> </i>It’s getting ready to come to a halt, ending its 3.5-week retrograde phase, on Sunday, April 15th (more on that later this week…). For the next 10 days (<strong>until April 20th</strong><b>)</b>, we need to be patient with ourselves and others -- especially if there is a connection with communication or transportation, and their associated technologies. This is not the best time to start anything brand-new, especially if it contains new information that needs to be processed.\r\n\r\nWe might experience delays or misunderstandings, and things tend to feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time to get ready for travel somewhere -- especially if you intend to use public transportation or drive (For more details on Mercury Shadow Phases and Retrogrades, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">click here</a>)\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets (or angles) <em>in 4-6 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong>, <b>Libra</b>, </em></i><b><i>Capricorn, </i></b><i>or</i><i> </i><b><i>Cancer.</i></b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (April 11th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <strong>until 2:40pm EDT</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:03am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Friday evening (April 6th) on; it will remain strong until this Sunday.</strong> We tend to feel passionate, super-creative, and just plain energized at this time -- we have tons of vitality and warmth.\r\n\r\nThis helps us bring people together for mutual pleasure and benefit; there is also a feeling of flow around creativity and manifesting something real... If you knew it would be easy, what would you pick to create?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of <b>Taurus,</b></i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?</i><i> If so, you may feel more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars rules Aries) </i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday morning</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Sun/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 8:15am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday night</strong>. This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed if we’re to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">This aspect is a fork in the road: We could take a path that leads toward following our personal goals and inspiring others by being direct and enthusiastic. We could also take the path that will lead to us increasing our understanding of intimacy and share our resources with others. Either way, we can develop a new perspective on how to approach these things. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">If you have the choice, go deeper rather than faster -- empower yourself and others by connecting in an authentic way, being honest about your motivations. As best as you can, evaluate any projects before getting involved. Awareness is key with this aspect: What is needed?

We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (April 12th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <strong>all day</strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:26pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday night</strong>. This is an opportunity for compassion and kindness in our social interactions. We are more attuned to the subtleties of human interaction, and are more inclined to naturally cooperate with others. We tend to \"feel\" each other on an energetic level now; a sensitive approach is recommended.\r\n\r\nWe also have an opportunity to connect to our values and gifts from intuition, and use our imagination to attract what we want: When you daydream, what would you like to experience? How would it feel?\r\n\r\nRemember: opportunities are openings; they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 13-17 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune rules Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday evening,</strong> <em>the Balsamic Moon phase begins</em> -- when the Moon reaches 11 degrees of <strong>Pisces.</strong><i> </i>This lasts <b>until Sunday late evening</b>, when the New Moon in <b>Aries </b>becomes exact (for those of you who are impatiently waiting for my New Moon video, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here</a> after April 10th). We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our intuition.\r\n\r\nFor some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes. This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (April 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <strong>until 11:25pm EDT</strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 7:27am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 16 hours, <strong>until 11:25pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to explore any beliefs connected to past experiences that left you feeling disempowered: How could a compassionate approach to the past allow for a new perspective?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive.

Major shifts ahead!\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: <span style=\"color: #993300;\">Saturn starts to slow down (station) on Monday, and its station phase will intensify on Saturday; Mercury begins its Station phase as well on Tuesday, this will intensify on Friday and it will come to a halt -- ending it\'s retrograde phase -- on Sunday morning; the Balsamic Moon phase becomes exact on Thursday evening; and the New Moon in Aries becomes exact on Sunday late evening.</span>\r\n\r\nThere will be two <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: Wednesday late morning (for almost 4 hours) and Friday morning (for almost 16 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (April 9th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><strong>Capricorn</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 2:50am EDT. </strong><strong>At that point</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <b><strong>until Wednesday afternoon</strong>. </b>The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Monday</strong>, <b> </b><i>Saturn slows down (stations) in 9 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i> <i>\"Stationing\" is when a planet </i>moves more slowly through the sky. When a planet stations, its energy becomes more \"exalted\"; in the case of Saturn, this means we all feel the need to more fully face what is currently so, our actual reality.\r\n\r\nSaturn has to do with doing what needs to be done -- so we can fully understand the practical implications of our reality, and the consequences of our past actions. Saturn also represents our structures, responsibilities, commitments and ability to \"do\" life, on life\'s terms.\r\n\r\nAs spirit beings in a physical world, it\'s best to observe the laws of the physical world. The sooner we learn to \"play by the rules\", the easier life gets. Saturn also represents time and the \"domain\" of time: growing up, maturing, understanding our limitations, setting healthy boundaries with others, living with integrity, being authentic and truthful, being serious and focused on building something of value to society.\r\n\r\nSaturn is our teacher. If you had a cosmic teacher, what would your personal \"earth class\" be in, right now? Where are you being asked to look at your long-term goals and ambitons and became more mature? What calls for a commitment towards building a solid foundation? What will time do?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during the time of the station, bring flexibility and open-mindedness to any frustrations. The station-phase will last <b>until April 24th</b> -- and Saturn will start its 5-month retrograde phase, next week Tuesday, on April 17th…\r\n\r\nFeel free to watch our mp4 video presentation about April\'s Saturn and Pluto Station and Retrograde phases in relationship to our own Birth charts...To purchase this webinar, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">click here. </a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Special Offer:</strong> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-) <b>Please note </b>that we will be talking about Chiron moving into Aries and Uranus moving into Taurus, in our next Forum.

This aspect forces us to confront our will, power, assertion, and authority.\r\n\r\nComing into focus now: the relationship with a father- or other important male-figures. We may face the need to be more independent, assertive, and autonomous.\r\n\r\nWe may alienate others with a controlling, jealous, or overbearing manner. This manner stems from a deep fear of letting go and surrendering to the idea that some things cannot be directed or controlled. We are learning to detach from (let go of) something or someone that no longer serves us -- the \"something\" could include attitudes.\r\n\r\nThis fear may lead us to compulsive, suspicious, or difficult behavior, costing us the very thing that we hold dear. As best as you can, open yourself up to the power of love within. When you do, you will discover your own strength, and rework your very identity. Perhaps most importantly, this aspect puts us face to face with <i>exactly</i> what\'s been holding us back from leading a fuller, more meaningful life.\r\n\r\nWe may have to make some changes or adjustments between our immediate personal desires and our long-term goals. As best as you can, be open to receiving feedback from others during this time.\r\n\r\nIf you feel pressured into doing something or you feel a power struggle build, as best as you can, get centered, get grounded and open your heart and mind. This aspect is a major growth opportunity for us: we struggle with buried elements of our personality and ego, learning to face, accept and transform them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra,  </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

For the next 10 days (<strong>until April 20th</strong><b>)</b>, we need to be patient with ourselves and others -- especially if there is a connection with communication or transportation, and their associated technologies. This is not the best time to start anything brand-new, especially if it contains new information that needs to be processed.\r\n\r\nWe might experience delays or misunderstandings, and things tend to feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time to get ready for travel somewhere -- especially if you intend to use public transportation or drive (For more details on Mercury Shadow Phases and Retrogrades, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">click here</a>)\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets (or angles) <em>in 4-6 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong>, <b>Libra</b>, </em></i><b><i>Capricorn, </i></b><i>or</i><i> </i><b><i>Cancer.</i></b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (April 11th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <strong>until 2:40pm EDT</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:03am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Friday evening (April 6th) on; it will remain strong until this Sunday.</strong> We tend to feel passionate, super-creative, and just plain energized at this time -- we have tons of vitality and warmth.\r\n\r\nThis helps us bring people together for mutual pleasure and benefit; there is also a feeling of flow around creativity and manifesting something real... If you knew it would be easy, what would you pick to create?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of <b>Taurus,</b></i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?</i><i> If so, you may feel more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars rules Aries) </i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday morning</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Sun/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 8:15am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday night</strong>. This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed if we’re to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">This aspect is a fork in the road: We could take a path that leads toward following our personal goals and inspiring others by being direct and enthusiastic. We could also take the path that will lead to us increasing our understanding of intimacy and share our resources with others. Either way, we can develop a new perspective on how to approach these things. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">If you have the choice, go deeper rather than faster -- empower yourself and others by connecting in an authentic way, being honest about your motivations. As best as you can, evaluate any projects before getting involved. Awareness is key with this aspect: What is needed?

You may also want to plan Wednesday late morning and early afternoon ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon sextiles Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 2:40pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces, </i></b>where it will journey <strong>until Friday late evening</strong>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (April 12th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <strong>all day</strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:26pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday night</strong>. This is an opportunity for compassion and kindness in our social interactions. We are more attuned to the subtleties of human interaction, and are more inclined to naturally cooperate with others. We tend to \"feel\" each other on an energetic level now; a sensitive approach is recommended.\r\n\r\nWe also have an opportunity to connect to our values and gifts from intuition, and use our imagination to attract what we want: When you daydream, what would you like to experience? How would it feel?\r\n\r\nRemember: opportunities are openings; they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 13-17 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune rules Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday evening,</strong> <em>the Balsamic Moon phase begins</em> -- when the Moon reaches 11 degrees of <strong>Pisces.</strong><i> </i>This lasts <b>until Sunday late evening</b>, when the New Moon in <b>Aries </b>becomes exact (for those of you who are impatiently waiting for my New Moon video, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here</a> after April 10th). We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our intuition.\r\n\r\nFor some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes. This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (April 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <strong>until 11:25pm EDT</strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 7:27am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 16 hours, <strong>until 11:25pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to explore any beliefs connected to past experiences that left you feeling disempowered: How could a compassionate approach to the past allow for a new perspective?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday all day and evening ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon trines Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 11:25pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries,</i></b> where it will journey <strong>until Monday very early morning (April 16th)</strong>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<b> </b>\r\n\r\nAlso<strong> on Friday, </strong><em>Mercury Station intensifies in almost 5 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> -- as Mercury is preparing to come to halt on Sunday (ending its 3.5-week retrograde phase). During the station phase, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments once Mercury is moving direct again (to be more precise, during the shadow phase that follows).\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned on Tuesday already,<strong> for the next 6 days</strong>, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait <strong>until after May 3rd</strong>, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 3-6 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (April 14th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b>Aries</b></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Friday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday early morning</strong>, <em>a long-term, opportune Jupiter/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:58am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday (March 19th) on; it will remain strong until Tuesday (May 1st)</strong>. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">This is second time this year we are experiencing this aspect. Think back to January: In what ways were you able to deepen your relationships, business and personal alike?</span>\r\n\r\nA positive attitude and deeper trust in our connections with others gives us the chance to build something meaningful and share our passions. We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support professional or personal goals.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Where could I really dig in to solve a problem? How might passion help deliver on my long-term goals? How could other people\'s resources support my ability to create transformation? How might they help me stand in my power?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>?

This is also an opportunity for boundaries to dissolve -- to open and relax.\r\n\r\nCreative or spiritual activities might be a good fit with this planetary connection. We may feel the need to daydream or inspire others. What might it mean, to take \"inspired action\"? What might show up in the world?

Major shifts ahead!\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: <span style=\"color: #993300;\">Saturn starts to slow down (station) on Monday, and its station phase will intensify on Saturday; Mercury begins its Station phase as well on Tuesday, this will intensify on Friday and it will come to a halt -- ending it\'s retrograde phase -- on Sunday morning; the Balsamic Moon phase becomes exact on Thursday evening; and the New Moon in Aries becomes exact on Sunday late evening.</span>\r\n\r\nThere will be two <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: Wednesday late morning (for almost 4 hours) and Friday morning (for almost 16 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (April 9th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><strong>Capricorn</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 2:50am EDT. </strong><strong>At that point</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <b><strong>until Wednesday afternoon</strong>. </b>The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Monday</strong>, <b> </b><i>Saturn slows down (stations) in 9 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i> <i>\"Stationing\" is when a planet </i>moves more slowly through the sky. When a planet stations, its energy becomes more \"exalted\"; in the case of Saturn, this means we all feel the need to more fully face what is currently so, our actual reality.\r\n\r\nSaturn has to do with doing what needs to be done -- so we can fully understand the practical implications of our reality, and the consequences of our past actions. Saturn also represents our structures, responsibilities, commitments and ability to \"do\" life, on life\'s terms.\r\n\r\nAs spirit beings in a physical world, it\'s best to observe the laws of the physical world. The sooner we learn to \"play by the rules\", the easier life gets. Saturn also represents time and the \"domain\" of time: growing up, maturing, understanding our limitations, setting healthy boundaries with others, living with integrity, being authentic and truthful, being serious and focused on building something of value to society.\r\n\r\nSaturn is our teacher. If you had a cosmic teacher, what would your personal \"earth class\" be in, right now? Where are you being asked to look at your long-term goals and ambitons and became more mature? What calls for a commitment towards building a solid foundation? What will time do?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during the time of the station, bring flexibility and open-mindedness to any frustrations. The station-phase will last <b>until April 24th</b> -- and Saturn will start its 5-month retrograde phase, next week Tuesday, on April 17th…\r\n\r\nFeel free to watch our mp4 video presentation about April\'s Saturn and Pluto Station and Retrograde phases in relationship to our own Birth charts...To purchase this webinar, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">click here. </a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Special Offer:</strong> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-) <b>Please note </b>that we will be talking about Chiron moving into Aries and Uranus moving into Taurus, in our next Forum.

This aspect forces us to confront our will, power, assertion, and authority.\r\n\r\nComing into focus now: the relationship with a father- or other important male-figures. We may face the need to be more independent, assertive, and autonomous.\r\n\r\nWe may alienate others with a controlling, jealous, or overbearing manner. This manner stems from a deep fear of letting go and surrendering to the idea that some things cannot be directed or controlled. We are learning to detach from (let go of) something or someone that no longer serves us -- the \"something\" could include attitudes.\r\n\r\nThis fear may lead us to compulsive, suspicious, or difficult behavior, costing us the very thing that we hold dear. As best as you can, open yourself up to the power of love within. When you do, you will discover your own strength, and rework your very identity. Perhaps most importantly, this aspect puts us face to face with <i>exactly</i> what\'s been holding us back from leading a fuller, more meaningful life.\r\n\r\nWe may have to make some changes or adjustments between our immediate personal desires and our long-term goals. As best as you can, be open to receiving feedback from others during this time.\r\n\r\nIf you feel pressured into doing something or you feel a power struggle build, as best as you can, get centered, get grounded and open your heart and mind. This aspect is a major growth opportunity for us: we struggle with buried elements of our personality and ego, learning to face, accept and transform them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra,  </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

For the next 10 days (<strong>until April 20th</strong><b>)</b>, we need to be patient with ourselves and others -- especially if there is a connection with communication or transportation, and their associated technologies. This is not the best time to start anything brand-new, especially if it contains new information that needs to be processed.\r\n\r\nWe might experience delays or misunderstandings, and things tend to feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time to get ready for travel somewhere -- especially if you intend to use public transportation or drive (For more details on Mercury Shadow Phases and Retrogrades, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">click here</a>)\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets (or angles) <em>in 4-6 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong>, <b>Libra</b>, </em></i><b><i>Capricorn, </i></b><i>or</i><i> </i><b><i>Cancer.</i></b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (April 11th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <strong>until 2:40pm EDT</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:03am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Friday evening (April 6th) on; it will remain strong until this Sunday.</strong> We tend to feel passionate, super-creative, and just plain energized at this time -- we have tons of vitality and warmth.\r\n\r\nThis helps us bring people together for mutual pleasure and benefit; there is also a feeling of flow around creativity and manifesting something real... If you knew it would be easy, what would you pick to create?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of <b>Taurus,</b></i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?</i><i> If so, you may feel more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars rules Aries) </i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday morning</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Sun/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 8:15am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday night</strong>. This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed if we’re to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">This aspect is a fork in the road: We could take a path that leads toward following our personal goals and inspiring others by being direct and enthusiastic. We could also take the path that will lead to us increasing our understanding of intimacy and share our resources with others. Either way, we can develop a new perspective on how to approach these things. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">If you have the choice, go deeper rather than faster -- empower yourself and others by connecting in an authentic way, being honest about your motivations. As best as you can, evaluate any projects before getting involved. Awareness is key with this aspect: What is needed?

You may also want to plan Wednesday late morning and early afternoon ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon sextiles Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 2:40pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces, </i></b>where it will journey <strong>until Friday late evening</strong>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (April 12th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <strong>all day</strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:26pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday night</strong>. This is an opportunity for compassion and kindness in our social interactions. We are more attuned to the subtleties of human interaction, and are more inclined to naturally cooperate with others. We tend to \"feel\" each other on an energetic level now; a sensitive approach is recommended.\r\n\r\nWe also have an opportunity to connect to our values and gifts from intuition, and use our imagination to attract what we want: When you daydream, what would you like to experience? How would it feel?\r\n\r\nRemember: opportunities are openings; they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 13-17 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune rules Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday evening,</strong> <em>the Balsamic Moon phase begins</em> -- when the Moon reaches 11 degrees of <strong>Pisces.</strong><i> </i>This lasts <b>until Sunday late evening</b>, when the New Moon in <b>Aries </b>becomes exact (for those of you who are impatiently waiting for my New Moon video, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here</a> after April 10th). We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our intuition.\r\n\r\nFor some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes. This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (April 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <strong>until 11:25pm EDT</strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 7:27am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 16 hours, <strong>until 11:25pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to explore any beliefs connected to past experiences that left you feeling disempowered: How could a compassionate approach to the past allow for a new perspective?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday all day and evening ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon trines Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 11:25pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries,</i></b> where it will journey <strong>until Monday very early morning (April 16th)</strong>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<b> </b>\r\n\r\nAlso<strong> on Friday, </strong><em>Mercury Station intensifies in almost 5 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> -- as Mercury is preparing to come to halt on Sunday (ending its 3.5-week retrograde phase). During the station phase, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments once Mercury is moving direct again (to be more precise, during the shadow phase that follows).\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned on Tuesday already,<strong> for the next 6 days</strong>, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait <strong>until after May 3rd</strong>, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 3-6 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (April 14th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b>Aries</b></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Friday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday early morning</strong>, <em>a long-term, opportune Jupiter/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:58am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday (March 19th) on; it will remain strong until Tuesday (May 1st)</strong>. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">This is second time this year we are experiencing this aspect. Think back to January: In what ways were you able to deepen your relationships, business and personal alike?</span>\r\n\r\nA positive attitude and deeper trust in our connections with others gives us the chance to build something meaningful and share our passions. We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support professional or personal goals.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Where could I really dig in to solve a problem? How might passion help deliver on my long-term goals? How could other people\'s resources support my ability to create transformation? How might they help me stand in my power?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>?

This is also an opportunity for boundaries to dissolve -- to open and relax.\r\n\r\nCreative or spiritual activities might be a good fit with this planetary connection. We may feel the need to daydream or inspire others. What might it mean, to take \"inspired action\"? What might show up in the world? What if you allowed the Universe to co-create with you?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <span style=\"color: #808080;\">13-17 degrees</span> of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Pisces,  Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>?

Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Monday</strong>, <b> </b><i>Saturn slows down (stations) in 9 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i> <i>\"Stationing\" is when a planet </i>moves more slowly through the sky. When a planet stations, its energy becomes more \"exalted\"; in the case of Saturn, this means we all feel the need to more fully face what is currently so, our actual reality.\r\n\r\nSaturn has to do with doing what needs to be done -- so we can fully understand the practical implications of our reality, and the consequences of our past actions. Saturn also represents our structures, responsibilities, commitments and ability to \"do\" life, on life\'s terms.\r\n\r\nAs spirit beings in a physical world, it\'s best to observe the laws of the physical world. The sooner we learn to \"play by the rules\", the easier life gets. Saturn also represents time and the \"domain\" of time: growing up, maturing, understanding our limitations, setting healthy boundaries with others, living with integrity, being authentic and truthful, being serious and focused on building something of value to society.\r\n\r\nSaturn is our teacher. If you had a cosmic teacher, what would your personal \"earth class\" be in, right now? Where are you being asked to look at your long-term goals and ambitons and became more mature? What calls for a commitment towards building a solid foundation?

This aspect forces us to confront our will, power, assertion, and authority.\r\n\r\nComing into focus now: the relationship with a father- or other important male-figures. We may face the need to be more independent, assertive, and autonomous.\r\n\r\nWe may alienate others with a controlling, jealous, or overbearing manner. This manner stems from a deep fear of letting go and surrendering to the idea that some things cannot be directed or controlled. We are learning to detach from (let go of) something or someone that no longer serves us -- the \"something\" could include attitudes.\r\n\r\nThis fear may lead us to compulsive, suspicious, or difficult behavior, costing us the very thing that we hold dear. As best as you can, open yourself up to the power of love within. When you do, you will discover your own strength, and rework your very identity. Perhaps most importantly, this aspect puts us face to face with <i>exactly</i> what\'s been holding us back from leading a fuller, more meaningful life.\r\n\r\nWe may have to make some changes or adjustments between our immediate personal desires and our long-term goals. As best as you can, be open to receiving feedback from others during this time.\r\n\r\nIf you feel pressured into doing something or you feel a power struggle build, as best as you can, get centered, get grounded and open your heart and mind. This aspect is a major growth opportunity for us: we struggle with buried elements of our personality and ego, learning to face, accept and transform them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra,  </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

For the next 10 days (<strong>until April 20th</strong><b>)</b>, we need to be patient with ourselves and others -- especially if there is a connection with communication or transportation, and their associated technologies. This is not the best time to start anything brand-new, especially if it contains new information that needs to be processed.\r\n\r\nWe might experience delays or misunderstandings, and things tend to feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time to get ready for travel somewhere -- especially if you intend to use public transportation or drive (For more details on Mercury Shadow Phases and Retrogrades, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">click here</a>)\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets (or angles) <em>in 4-6 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong>, <b>Libra</b>, </em></i><b><i>Capricorn, </i></b><i>or</i><i> </i><b><i>Cancer.</i></b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (April 11th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <strong>until 2:40pm EDT</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:03am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Friday evening (April 6th) on; it will remain strong until this Sunday.</strong> We tend to feel passionate, super-creative, and just plain energized at this time -- we have tons of vitality and warmth.\r\n\r\nThis helps us bring people together for mutual pleasure and benefit; there is also a feeling of flow around creativity and manifesting something real... If you knew it would be easy, what would you pick to create?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of <b>Taurus,</b></i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?</i><i> If so, you may feel more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars rules Aries) </i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday morning</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Sun/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 8:15am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday night</strong>. This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed if we’re to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">This aspect is a fork in the road: We could take a path that leads toward following our personal goals and inspiring others by being direct and enthusiastic. We could also take the path that will lead to us increasing our understanding of intimacy and share our resources with others. Either way, we can develop a new perspective on how to approach these things. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">If you have the choice, go deeper rather than faster -- empower yourself and others by connecting in an authentic way, being honest about your motivations. As best as you can, evaluate any projects before getting involved. Awareness is key with this aspect: What is needed?

We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (April 12th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <strong>all day</strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:26pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday night</strong>. This is an opportunity for compassion and kindness in our social interactions. We are more attuned to the subtleties of human interaction, and are more inclined to naturally cooperate with others. We tend to \"feel\" each other on an energetic level now; a sensitive approach is recommended.\r\n\r\nWe also have an opportunity to connect to our values and gifts from intuition, and use our imagination to attract what we want: When you daydream, what would you like to experience? How would it feel?\r\n\r\nRemember: opportunities are openings; they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 13-17 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune rules Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday evening,</strong> <em>the Balsamic Moon phase begins</em> -- when the Moon reaches 11 degrees of <strong>Pisces.</strong><i> </i>This lasts <b>until Sunday late evening</b>, when the New Moon in <b>Aries </b>becomes exact (for those of you who are impatiently waiting for my New Moon video, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here</a> after April 10th). We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our intuition.\r\n\r\nFor some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes. This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (April 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <strong>until 11:25pm EDT</strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 7:27am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 16 hours, <strong>until 11:25pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to explore any beliefs connected to past experiences that left you feeling disempowered: How could a compassionate approach to the past allow for a new perspective?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<b> </b>\r\n\r\nAlso<strong> on Friday, </strong><em>Mercury Station intensifies in almost 5 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> -- as Mercury is preparing to come to halt on Sunday (ending its 3.5-week retrograde phase). During the station phase, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments once Mercury is moving direct again (to be more precise, during the shadow phase that follows).\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned on Tuesday already,<strong> for the next 6 days</strong>, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait <strong>until after May 3rd</strong>, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 3-6 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (April 14th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b>Aries</b></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Friday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday early morning</strong>, <em>a long-term, opportune Jupiter/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:58am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday (March 19th) on; it will remain strong until Tuesday (May 1st)</strong>. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">This is second time this year we are experiencing this aspect. Think back to January: In what ways were you able to deepen your relationships, business and personal alike?</span>\r\n\r\nA positive attitude and deeper trust in our connections with others gives us the chance to build something meaningful and share our passions. We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support professional or personal goals.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Where could I really dig in to solve a problem? How might passion help deliver on my long-term goals? How could other people\'s resources support my ability to create transformation? How might they help me stand in my power?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>?

Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Monday</strong>, <b> </b><i>Saturn slows down (stations) in 9 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i> <i>\"Stationing\" is when a planet </i>moves more slowly through the sky. When a planet stations, its energy becomes more \"exalted\"; in the case of Saturn, this means we all feel the need to more fully face what is currently so, our actual reality.\r\n\r\nSaturn has to do with doing what needs to be done -- so we can fully understand the practical implications of our reality, and the consequences of our past actions. Saturn also represents our structures, responsibilities, commitments and ability to \"do\" life, on life\'s terms.\r\n\r\nAs spirit beings in a physical world, it\'s best to observe the laws of the physical world. The sooner we learn to \"play by the rules\", the easier life gets. Saturn also represents time and the \"domain\" of time: growing up, maturing, understanding our limitations, setting healthy boundaries with others, living with integrity, being authentic and truthful, being serious and focused on building something of value to society.\r\n\r\nSaturn is our teacher. If you had a cosmic teacher, what would your personal \"earth class\" be in, right now? Where are you being asked to look at your long-term goals and ambitons and became more mature? What calls for a commitment towards building a solid foundation?

This aspect forces us to confront our will, power, assertion, and authority.\r\n\r\nComing into focus now: the relationship with a father- or other important male-figures. We may face the need to be more independent, assertive, and autonomous.\r\n\r\nWe may alienate others with a controlling, jealous, or overbearing manner. This manner stems from a deep fear of letting go and surrendering to the idea that some things cannot be directed or controlled. We are learning to detach from (let go of) something or someone that no longer serves us -- the \"something\" could include attitudes.\r\n\r\nThis fear may lead us to compulsive, suspicious, or difficult behavior, costing us the very thing that we hold dear. As best as you can, open yourself up to the power of love within. When you do, you will discover your own strength, and rework your very identity. Perhaps most importantly, this aspect puts us face to face with <i>exactly</i> what\'s been holding us back from leading a fuller, more meaningful life.\r\n\r\nWe may have to make some changes or adjustments between our immediate personal desires and our long-term goals. As best as you can, be open to receiving feedback from others during this time.\r\n\r\nIf you feel pressured into doing something or you feel a power struggle build, as best as you can, get centered, get grounded and open your heart and mind. This aspect is a major growth opportunity for us: we struggle with buried elements of our personality and ego, learning to face, accept and transform them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra,  </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

For the next 10 days (<strong>until April 20th</strong><b>)</b>, we need to be patient with ourselves and others -- especially if there is a connection with communication or transportation, and their associated technologies. This is not the best time to start anything brand-new, especially if it contains new information that needs to be processed.\r\n\r\nWe might experience delays or misunderstandings, and things tend to feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time to get ready for travel somewhere -- especially if you intend to use public transportation or drive (For more details on Mercury Shadow Phases and Retrogrades, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">click here</a>)\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets (or angles) <em>in 4-6 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong>, <b>Libra</b>, </em></i><b><i>Capricorn, </i></b><i>or</i><i> </i><b><i>Cancer.</i></b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (April 11th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <strong>until 2:40pm EDT</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:03am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Friday evening (April 6th) on; it will remain strong until this Sunday.</strong> We tend to feel passionate, super-creative, and just plain energized at this time -- we have tons of vitality and warmth.\r\n\r\nThis helps us bring people together for mutual pleasure and benefit; there is also a feeling of flow around creativity and manifesting something real...

We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed if we’re to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">This aspect is a fork in the road: We could take a path that leads toward following our personal goals and inspiring others by being direct and enthusiastic. We could also take the path that will lead to us increasing our understanding of intimacy and share our resources with others. Either way, we can develop a new perspective on how to approach these things. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">If you have the choice, go deeper rather than faster -- empower yourself and others by connecting in an authentic way, being honest about your motivations. As best as you can, evaluate any projects before getting involved. Awareness is key with this aspect: What is needed?

We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (April 12th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <strong>all day</strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:26pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday night</strong>. This is an opportunity for compassion and kindness in our social interactions. We are more attuned to the subtleties of human interaction, and are more inclined to naturally cooperate with others. We tend to \"feel\" each other on an energetic level now; a sensitive approach is recommended.\r\n\r\nWe also have an opportunity to connect to our values and gifts from intuition, and use our imagination to attract what we want: When you daydream, what would you like to experience? How would it feel?\r\n\r\nRemember: opportunities are openings; they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 13-17 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune rules Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday evening,</strong> <em>the Balsamic Moon phase begins</em> -- when the Moon reaches 11 degrees of <strong>Pisces.</strong><i> </i>This lasts <b>until Sunday late evening</b>, when the New Moon in <b>Aries </b>becomes exact (for those of you who are impatiently waiting for my New Moon video, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here</a> after April 10th). We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our intuition.\r\n\r\nFor some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes. This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (April 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <strong>until 11:25pm EDT</strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 7:27am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 16 hours, <strong>until 11:25pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to explore any beliefs connected to past experiences that left you feeling disempowered: How could a compassionate approach to the past allow for a new perspective?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday all day and evening ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon trines Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 11:25pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries,</i></b> where it will journey <strong>until Monday very early morning (April 16th)</strong>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<b> </b>\r\n\r\nAlso<strong> on Friday, </strong><em>Mercury Station intensifies in almost 5 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> -- as Mercury is preparing to come to halt on Sunday (ending its 3.5-week retrograde phase). During the station phase, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments once Mercury is moving direct again (to be more precise, during the shadow phase that follows).\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned on Tuesday already,<strong> for the next 6 days</strong>, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait <strong>until after May 3rd</strong>, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 3-6 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (April 14th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b>Aries</b></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Friday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday early morning</strong>, <em>a long-term, opportune Jupiter/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:58am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday (March 19th) on; it will remain strong until Tuesday (May 1st)</strong>. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">This is second time this year we are experiencing this aspect. Think back to January: In what ways were you able to deepen your relationships, business and personal alike?</span>\r\n\r\nA positive attitude and deeper trust in our connections with others gives us the chance to build something meaningful and share our passions. We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support professional or personal goals.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Where could I really dig in to solve a problem? How might passion help deliver on my long-term goals? How could other people\'s resources support my ability to create transformation? How might they help me stand in my power?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>?

Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Monday</strong>, <b> </b><i>Saturn slows down (stations) in 9 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i> <i>\"Stationing\" is when a planet </i>moves more slowly through the sky. When a planet stations, its energy becomes more \"exalted\"; in the case of Saturn, this means we all feel the need to more fully face what is currently so, our actual reality.\r\n\r\nSaturn has to do with doing what needs to be done -- so we can fully understand the practical implications of our reality, and the consequences of our past actions. Saturn also represents our structures, responsibilities, commitments and ability to \"do\" life, on life\'s terms.\r\n\r\nAs spirit beings in a physical world, it\'s best to observe the laws of the physical world. The sooner we learn to \"play by the rules\", the easier life gets. Saturn also represents time and the \"domain\" of time: growing up, maturing, understanding our limitations, setting healthy boundaries with others, living with integrity, being authentic and truthful, being serious and focused on building something of value to society.\r\n\r\nSaturn is our teacher. If you had a cosmic teacher, what would your personal \"earth class\" be in, right now? Where are you being asked to look at your long-term goals and ambitons and became more mature? What calls for a commitment towards building a solid foundation? What will time do?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during the time of the station, bring flexibility and open-mindedness to any frustrations. The station-phase will last <b>until April 24th</b> -- and Saturn will start its 5-month retrograde phase, next week Tuesday, on April 17th…\r\n\r\nFeel free to watch our mp4 video presentation about April\'s Saturn and Pluto Station and Retrograde phases in relationship to our own Birth charts...To purchase this webinar, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">click here. </a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Special Offer:</strong> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-) <b>Please note </b>that we will be talking about Chiron moving into Aries and Uranus moving into Taurus, in our next Forum.

This aspect forces us to confront our will, power, assertion, and authority.\r\n\r\nComing into focus now: the relationship with a father- or other important male-figures. We may face the need to be more independent, assertive, and autonomous.\r\n\r\nWe may alienate others with a controlling, jealous, or overbearing manner. This manner stems from a deep fear of letting go and surrendering to the idea that some things cannot be directed or controlled. We are learning to detach from (let go of) something or someone that no longer serves us -- the \"something\" could include attitudes.\r\n\r\nThis fear may lead us to compulsive, suspicious, or difficult behavior, costing us the very thing that we hold dear. As best as you can, open yourself up to the power of love within. When you do, you will discover your own strength, and rework your very identity. Perhaps most importantly, this aspect puts us face to face with <i>exactly</i> what\'s been holding us back from leading a fuller, more meaningful life.\r\n\r\nWe may have to make some changes or adjustments between our immediate personal desires and our long-term goals. As best as you can, be open to receiving feedback from others during this time.\r\n\r\nIf you feel pressured into doing something or you feel a power struggle build, as best as you can, get centered, get grounded and open your heart and mind. This aspect is a major growth opportunity for us: we struggle with buried elements of our personality and ego, learning to face, accept and transform them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra,  </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

For the next 10 days (<strong>until April 20th</strong><b>)</b>, we need to be patient with ourselves and others -- especially if there is a connection with communication or transportation, and their associated technologies. This is not the best time to start anything brand-new, especially if it contains new information that needs to be processed.\r\n\r\nWe might experience delays or misunderstandings, and things tend to feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time to get ready for travel somewhere -- especially if you intend to use public transportation or drive (For more details on Mercury Shadow Phases and Retrogrades, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">click here</a>)\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets (or angles) <em>in 4-6 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong>, <b>Libra</b>, </em></i><b><i>Capricorn, </i></b><i>or</i><i> </i><b><i>Cancer.</i></b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (April 11th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <strong>until 2:40pm EDT</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:03am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Friday evening (April 6th) on; it will remain strong until this Sunday.</strong> We tend to feel passionate, super-creative, and just plain energized at this time -- we have tons of vitality and warmth.\r\n\r\nThis helps us bring people together for mutual pleasure and benefit; there is also a feeling of flow around creativity and manifesting something real...

We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed if we’re to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">This aspect is a fork in the road: We could take a path that leads toward following our personal goals and inspiring others by being direct and enthusiastic. We could also take the path that will lead to us increasing our understanding of intimacy and share our resources with others. Either way, we can develop a new perspective on how to approach these things. </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">If you have the choice, go deeper rather than faster -- empower yourself and others by connecting in an authentic way, being honest about your motivations. As best as you can, evaluate any projects before getting involved. Awareness is key with this aspect: What is needed?

We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (April 12th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <strong>all day</strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:26pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday night</strong>. This is an opportunity for compassion and kindness in our social interactions. We are more attuned to the subtleties of human interaction, and are more inclined to naturally cooperate with others. We tend to \"feel\" each other on an energetic level now; a sensitive approach is recommended.\r\n\r\nWe also have an opportunity to connect to our values and gifts from intuition, and use our imagination to attract what we want: When you daydream, what would you like to experience? How would it feel?\r\n\r\nRemember: opportunities are openings; they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 13-17 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune rules Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday evening,</strong> <em>the Balsamic Moon phase begins</em> -- when the Moon reaches 11 degrees of <strong>Pisces.</strong><i> </i>This lasts <b>until Sunday late evening</b>, when the New Moon in <b>Aries </b>becomes exact (for those of you who are impatiently waiting for my New Moon video, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here</a> after April 10th). We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our intuition.\r\n\r\nFor some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes. This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (April 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <strong>until 11:25pm EDT</strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 7:27am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 16 hours, <strong>until 11:25pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to explore any beliefs connected to past experiences that left you feeling disempowered: How could a compassionate approach to the past allow for a new perspective?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday all day and evening ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon trines Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 11:25pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries,</i></b> where it will journey <strong>until Monday very early morning (April 16th)</strong>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<b> </b>\r\n\r\nAlso<strong> on Friday, </strong><em>Mercury Station intensifies in almost 5 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> -- as Mercury is preparing to come to halt on Sunday (ending its 3.5-week retrograde phase). During the station phase, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments once Mercury is moving direct again (to be more precise, during the shadow phase that follows).\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned on Tuesday already,<strong> for the next 6 days</strong>, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait <strong>until after May 3rd</strong>, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 3-6 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (April 14th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b>Aries</b></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Friday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday early morning</strong>, <em>a long-term, opportune Jupiter/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:58am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday (March 19th) on; it will remain strong until Tuesday (May 1st)</strong>. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">This is second time this year we are experiencing this aspect. Think back to January: In what ways were you able to deepen your relationships, business and personal alike?</span>\r\n\r\nA positive attitude and deeper trust in our connections with others gives us the chance to build something meaningful and share our passions. We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support professional or personal goals.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Where could I really dig in to solve a problem? How might passion help deliver on my long-term goals? How could other people\'s resources support my ability to create transformation? How might they help me stand in my power?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>Saturday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Mars/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:27pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until</strong></span> <strong>next week</strong><strong>, </strong><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>Wednesday evening (April 18th)</strong>. </span>This gives us the opportunity to take actions that are in alignment with our dreams and ideals. This is also an opportunity for boundaries to dissolve -- to open and relax.\r\n\r\nCreative or spiritual activities might be a good fit with this planetary connection. We may feel the need to daydream or inspire others. What might it mean, to take \"inspired action\"? What might show up in the world? What if you allowed the Universe to co-create with you?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <span style=\"color: #808080;\">13-17 degrees</span> of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Pisces,  Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>?

This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Neptune rules Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Saturday</strong>, <em>Saturn Station intensifies in 9 degrees of <strong>Capricorn.</strong></em> As I mentioned on Monday already, <i>\"Stationing\" is when a planet </i>moves more slowly through the sky. When a planet stations, its energy becomes more \"exalted\"; in the case of Saturn, this means we all feel the need to more fully face what is currently so, our actual reality.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Where am I being asked to look at my long-term goals and ambitons and became more mature? What calls for a commitment towards building a solid foundation? What will time do?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during the time of the station, bring flexibility and open-mindedness to any frustrations. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">The station-phase will feel more intense until <b>until April 20th, </b>but will last all together <b>until April 24th</b></span> -- and Saturn will start its 5-month retrograde phase, next week Tuesday (<b>on April 17th)</b>… more on that next week ;-)\r\n\r\nFeel free to watch our mp4 video presentation about April\'s Saturn and Pluto Station and Retrograde phases in relationship to our own Birth charts...To purchase this webinar, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">click here. </a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Special Offer:</strong> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-) <b>Please note </b>that we will be talking about Chiron moving into Aries and Uranus moving into Taurus, in our next Forum.

What did you learn about your inner dialog over the past 3 weeks? How can you share your newly found inner understanding in a healthy way with the world? <span style=\"color: #993300;\">What needs to be addressed regarding your personal goals and desires, a direct and passionate way of approaching communications, and any new-found understanding of our own thinking structures?</span>\r\n\r\nWhen Mercury gets back to its regular speed (<b>by April 20th</b>), communication and transportation will get back to normal; the same is true of any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets (or angles) in 3-6 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Libra.</i></b>\r\n\r\nAs you may recall, I mentioned <i>Mercury shadow phases</i> on Tuesday: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it\'s best to avoid the periods shortly before and after Mercury goes retrograde. This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) This particular <b>shadow phase ends on May 3rd</b>. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">Click here to read my blog on the subject</a>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening, at 9:57pm EDT</strong>, the <em>Moon aligns with the Sun in 26 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em>. This is the beginning of a new Moon cycle; anything brand-new started in the next two weeks has the chance to get off to a great start. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">Also feel free to watch my New Moon video on the subject </a>\r\n\r\nWith the <i>New Moon in fast-paced, enthusiastic, courageous </i><b><i>Aries</i></b>, we are asked to connect to our personal goals and get very clear on what we want to create for the next 28 days. This is an action-packed energy with the focus on ourselves. We tend to do first and think later -- we have a tremendous amount of energy and want to sprint.\r\n\r\n<em>The <strong>Aries</strong> New Moon</em> is an especially fertile time for seeding new projects and directions, as Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and represents new beginnings.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Aries</strong> also symbolizes the energy of initiation, of breaking new ground and birthing new forms. Both Aries and its ruling planet Mars correspond with the quest to develop courage, which is not fearlessness, but a conscious choice to act in spite of being afraid.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe generally don\'t know what will happen when we start something brand-new, something we have never done before. This can bring up insecurities and nervousness, sometimes maybe even plain fear or panic.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nOne thing to consider however, is that when we can allow ourselves to be in a state of \"not knowing\" or being open to having a \"beginners attitude\", we are more present, and in a state of heightened creative potential. <b>Ask yourself: </b>What might I create if I suspend my opinions, beliefs, judgments and concepts? If I gave up: needing to know, just for today?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars (the ruler of Aries), is currently in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, sextiling Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>.</i> This aspect is asking us to create a solid relationship with our long-term ambitions and allow for our inner divinity (Source/God) to guide us. We are encouraged to go after, and manifest what feels intuitively right to us.\r\n\r\nThis is also a cosmic message about relating to our long-term goals in a loving, kind manner -- softening our approach, releasing ridgid shoulds and obligations that are not in alignment with our highest calling.\r\n\r\nWe are also being asked to slow down and focus on quality over quantity, sustainability over novelty, ease over force. <b>Questions you can ask yourself here:</b> How can I generate and build structures in my life that support my emotional/intutive well-being? What actions could I take to connect my ambitious self to my \"soul-self\"?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars also aligns with Pluto and Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>. This combo brings a tremendous focus to our long-term business dealings, especially in regards to manifesting something real — in other words: tangible, sustainable, meaningful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe are also invited to investigate anything dysfunctional within our businesses, governments or long-term goals. We are being asked to eliminate or transform whatever is no longer in alignment with our Soul’s passions, and for our highest good -- individually and collectively.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I felt fully empowered from within and felt absolutely passionate about life, what would I go about “building”? What would be truly meaningful to my Soul in the long run?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon aligns with Uranus in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, and this is also part of a square with Pluto, and Mars in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>. This underlines the message that we are ready for the next big step on our path. Uranus symbolizes the desire for freedom, equality and most of all: progress. It takes courage to leave familiar territory.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What would it look like if I stepped into being a strong, healthy individual, knowing myself, and not being afraid to go after my personal goals/desires? How might I be able to accomplish that whilst staying focused on my long-term achievements?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<i>The alignment between Uranus and the New Moon</i>, asks us to break away from whatever keeps us from stepping up our game, whatever keeps us in a rut. Shifts are happening everywhere. It\'s time to develop some courage and awareness: Where do you want to step up and out? If you made a big leap, where might you land? How would \"thinking outside the box\" be of help on your journey for the next 28 days?\r\n\r\n<i>Pluto is also stationing</i> (and thus exalted); this brings extra intensity to this process. Pluto shows us where we give our power away to others and where we abuse it ourselves. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What structures no longer empower me? What am I most aware of right now? What might break down over the long haul, simply because it is no longer sustainable?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury has been retrograde for the past three weeks</i>: we have been reevaluating our thinking about personal goals and how we want to move things forward. Mercury\'s retrograde directed us to deal with unfinished business around past or present dealings; <i>to acknowledge what we learned, be thankful for the growth we experienced, and move forward.</i>\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> is all about “Beginner’s Mind”: Open, eager, willing to be surprised. The fewer preconceptions we have, the more possibilities we see, and the wider the path grows. It reminds us that communication starts within our own minds, our own inner dialog is the seed for all communications with others.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWith <i>Mercury moving direct on the day of the New Moon</i>, we are getting a green light to move anything forward that has been in a holding pattern for the past 3-6 weeks. For anything brand-new that developed or came up during the retrograde phase, if possible, wait until the shadow phase is over on May 3rd.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe are also invited not to do anything hasty, as <i>Mercury still squares Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>. The message here is: steady and slow rather than impulsive and fast. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What benefits could I reap from taking it one step at a time?\r\n\r\nSince we will be dealing with a lot of Stations this month (Mercury, Saturn, and Pluto), keep in mind that these phases create awareness and prepare us to either gain inner clarity and connecting to the energies from within (i.e., more intuitively) -- when preparing to go retrograde: Saturn and Pluto) -- or to move forward (when going direct, after a retrograde phase: Mercury).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>On April 17th</strong> <em>Saturn takes its yearly turn retrograde at 9º <strong>Capricorn</strong></em>, turning direct on Sept. 6th at 2.5º, and once again reaching 9º Capricorn on December 12th. Saturn in Capricorn exposes the consequences of our long-term ambitions.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>Saturn calls us to become our own authority, our own judge of what is right, true, and useful long-term, which can be very different from what society, other authority figures, or our country tells us.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe also covered the Saturn and Pluto Retrograde in more detail in our last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how this planetary movement is impacting you personally, feel free to purchase the video-presentation of the last webinar -- we applied the Pluto and Saturn Retrograde phases to our own birth charts! <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">Click here for more info or to purchase the recording</a>\r\n\r\nThere is also a <b>Special Offer:</b> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> <b>by April 17th</b>, you will get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<em>The upcoming Retrograde phases</em> may require us to keep the focus more on ourselves (and check in with our inner compass). It also gives us a chance to see what works (and what doesn\'t) in certain areas of our lives; we can take stock and look to see what needs a do-over (or at least a reassessment).\r\n\r\nLast but not least, we have <i>Chiron in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> -- the last degree of the sign (therefore exalted). Think back over the last 7 years, while Chiron was in Pisces, and <strong>ask yourself:</strong> What have I learned about my relationship to my higher Self/intuition? What have I learned about the emotional body, about the energetic body? What do I know about my inner healing process that I didn\'t know before 2011?\r\n\r\n<i>Chiron will be moving into </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> </i><b>on April 17th,</b> same day as Saturn comes to a halt. It will remain in this enthusiastic sign until the end of September.\r\n\r\nWe will go over this upcoming shift in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how Chiron\'s journey through Aries, as well as Uranus\'s journey through Taurus will impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. The next Forum will be on <b>Monday, April 30th</b> at 3pm EDT/8pm BST (London-time); <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">for more info or to register, click here</a>\r\n\r\n<b>Remember the Special Offer, I mentioned already:</b> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> <b>by April 17th</b>, you will also get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nIf you are currently a <strong>Star </strong>or<strong> SuperStar member</strong> on my site, you will be automatically signed up for the Forum and receive a link via email to join the live webinar and also for the video presentation.

Here are some more questions you can <b>ask yourself for the next two to four weeks:</b> What is my vision? What do I want to create now? What needs to change to make this happen?\r\n\r\nThe highest expression of the <b>Aries</b> energy is when we lead others by example and inspiration -- others follow us because they see our courage, our enthusiasm for life, and they want to be a part of it. <b>Ask yourself:</b> How can I lead responsibly and with integrity? How can I step into being the one who can inspire others and make a difference -- in small or large ways?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, tap into the core of your being — your vision, your purpose — it is an essential part of the collective journey. Be an agent of change; have the courage to step up and out: The time is NOW! The place is HERE!<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<b>Some more questions to ask yourself for the next 2 weeks:</b> What do I see that needs changing in my life? What do I feel most passionate about? Where do I need to take a stand? How can I approach the situation with maturity? What is the outcome I seek that serves long-term? <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> As best as you can, commit to something larger than yourself. Listen to your inner voice and bring your passionate Self to the world. Remember that each of us makes this journey in our own way and in our own time. Focus on yourself, your own path, your own truth, rather than trying to control what is not under your control.\r\n\r\nSpring is an excellent time to do a cleanse on all levels.<b> Ask yourself:</b> What are the changes that have already been in the back of my mind for months now? What\'s the first step I could take to make a start?\r\n\r\nThe ultimate goal of this New Moon is to tap into our inner warrior — a mature warrior that generates and protects life, rather than exploiting and destroying it -- courageous, rather than combative, assertive without being aggressive. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">To learn more about this month\'s New Moon, please click here to watch my video. </a>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in one of the following placements: 24-28 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to <strong>set some powerful intentions</strong> for this month\'s Moon cycle. This process is especially powerful with the <i>New Moon in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b>. Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <i>not</i> during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase.\r\n\r\nSo this month, we have two periods that are great<i> times to set intentions:</i> first one is four hours long -- any time between <b>9:57pm Sunday late evening (April 15th) </b>and<b> 1:59am Monday very early morning (April 16th).</b> If you aren’t able to do it during that time period, wait a few hours and set them between <b>4:51am on Monday and 6:05pm EDT, Tuesday April 17th. </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more info on setting New Moon Intentions click here</a><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<b>Here’s a few bonus questions:</b> Where can I approach my life with “beginner’s mind”?

Mercury follows suit, beginning its own Station phase on Tuesday, that in turn intensifies on Friday (it will come to a complete halt -- ending it\'s retrograde phase -- on Sunday morning).\r\n\r\nIn other news, the Balsamic Moon phase becomes exact on Thursday evening, and the New Moon in Aries becomes exact on Sunday, late in the evening.\r\n\r\nAnd of course, the week wouldn\'t be complete without some <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases -- though there are only two this week: the first on Wednesday, late in the morning (it lasts for almost 4 hours) and a longer one that starts Friday morning and runs for almost 16 hours.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (April 9th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><strong>Capricorn</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 2:50am EDT. </strong><strong>At that point</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <b><strong>until Wednesday afternoon</strong>. </b>The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Monday</strong>, <b> </b><i>Saturn slows down (stations) in 9 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i> <i>\"Stationing\" is when a planet </i>moves more slowly through the sky. When a planet stations, its energy becomes more \"exalted\"; in the case of Saturn, this means we all feel the need to more fully face what is currently so, our actual reality.\r\n\r\nSaturn has to do with doing what needs to be done -- so we can fully understand the practical implications of our reality, and the consequences of our past actions. Saturn also represents our structures, responsibilities, commitments and ability to \"do\" life, on life\'s terms.\r\n\r\nAs spirit beings in a physical world, it\'s best to observe the laws of the physical world. The sooner we learn to \"play by the rules\", the easier life gets. Saturn also represents time and the \"domain\" of time: growing up, maturing, understanding our limitations, setting healthy boundaries with others, living with integrity, being authentic and truthful, being serious and focused on building something of value to society.\r\n\r\nSaturn is our teacher. If you had a cosmic teacher, what would your personal \"earth class\" be in, right now? Where are you being asked to look at your long-term goals and ambitons and became more mature? What calls for a commitment towards building a solid foundation? What will time do?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during the time of the station, bring flexibility and open-mindedness to any frustrations. The station-phase will last <b>until April 24th</b> -- and Saturn will start its 5-month retrograde phase, next week Tuesday, on April 17th…\r\n\r\nFeel free to watch our mp4 video presentation about April\'s Saturn and Pluto Station and Retrograde phases in relationship to our own Birth charts...To purchase this webinar, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">click here. </a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Special Offer:</strong> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-) <b>Please note </b>that we will be talking about Chiron moving into Aries and Uranus moving into Taurus, in our next Forum.

If so, you will be more affected by this station. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>, since Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (April 10th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <strong>all day</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday night/</strong>Wednesday very early morning, <em>a challenging Sun/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:54am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening (April 7th) on; it will remain strong until this Friday night (April 13th)</strong>. What we identify ourselves with could now be challenged. This aspect forces us to confront our will, power, assertion, and authority.\r\n\r\nComing into focus now: the relationship with a father- or other important male-figures. We may face the need to be more independent, assertive, and autonomous.\r\n\r\nWe may alienate others with a controlling, jealous, or overbearing manner. This manner stems from a deep fear of letting go and surrendering to the idea that some things cannot be directed or controlled. We are learning to detach from (let go of) something or someone that no longer serves us -- the \"something\" could include attitudes.\r\n\r\nThis fear may lead us to compulsive, suspicious, or difficult behavior, costing us the very thing that we hold dear. As best as you can, open yourself up to the power of love within. When you do, you will discover your own strength, and rework your very identity. Perhaps most importantly, this aspect puts us face to face with <i>exactly</i> what\'s been holding us back from leading a fuller, more meaningful life.\r\n\r\nWe may have to make some changes or adjustments between our immediate personal desires and our long-term goals. As best as you can, be open to receiving feedback from others during this time.\r\n\r\nIf you feel pressured into doing something or you feel a power struggle build, as best as you can, get centered, get grounded and open your heart and mind. This aspect is a major growth opportunity for us: we struggle with buried elements of our personality and ego, learning to face, accept and transform them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra,  </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (the Sun is the ruler of Leo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso <strong>on Tuesday</strong>, <i>Mercury starts to slow down again (“stationing”).</i><i> </i>It’s getting ready to come to a halt, ending its 3.5-week retrograde phase, on Sunday, April 15th (more on that later this week…). For the next 10 days (<strong>until April 20th</strong><b>)</b>, we need to be patient with ourselves and others -- especially if there is a connection with communication or transportation, and their associated technologies. This is not the best time to start anything brand-new, especially if it contains new information that needs to be processed.\r\n\r\nWe might experience delays or misunderstandings, and things tend to feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time to get ready for travel somewhere -- especially if you intend to use public transportation or drive (For more details on Mercury Shadow Phases and Retrogrades, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">click here</a>)\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets (or angles) <em>in 4-6 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong>, <b>Libra</b>, </em></i><b><i>Capricorn, </i></b><i>or</i><i> </i><b><i>Cancer.</i></b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (April 11th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <strong>until 2:40pm EDT</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:03am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Friday evening (April 6th) on; it will remain strong until this Sunday.</strong> We tend to feel passionate, super-creative, and just plain energized at this time -- we have tons of vitality and warmth.\r\n\r\nThis helps us bring people together for mutual pleasure and benefit; there is also a feeling of flow around creativity and manifesting something real... If you knew it would be easy, what would you pick to create?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of <b>Taurus,</b></i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?</i><i> If so, you may feel more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars rules Aries) </i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday morning</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Sun/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 8:15am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday night</strong>. This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed if we’re to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\nThis aspect brings us to a fork in the road: One path takes us toward personal goals and helps us inspire others by being direct and enthusiastic. The other leads to greater understanding of intimacy, and of how we share our resources with others.\r\n\r\nThere\'s not necessarily a \"correct path\", as both can lead to a deeper exploration of the themes in question. Whichever one you decide to walk, go deeper rather than faster -- empower yourself and others by connecting in an authentic way, being honest about your motivations.\r\n\r\nOne more thing: as best as you can, carefully evaluate any projects before getting involved -- awareness is key with this aspect. Ask yourself: What is needed? How can we serve the broader view?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 22-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules of Leo; Jupiter rules Sagittarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 10:55am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 4 hours, <strong>until 2:40pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday late morning and early afternoon ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon sextiles Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 2:40pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces, </i></b>where it will journey <strong>until Friday late evening</strong>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (April 12th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <strong>all day</strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:26pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday night</strong>. This is an opportunity for compassion and kindness in our social interactions. We are more attuned to the subtleties of human interaction, and are more inclined to naturally cooperate with others. We tend to \"feel\" each other on an energetic level now; a sensitive approach is recommended.\r\n\r\nWe also have an opportunity to connect to our values and gifts from intuition, and use our imagination to attract what we want: When you daydream, what would you like to experience? How would it feel?\r\n\r\nRemember: opportunities are openings; they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 13-17 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune rules Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday evening,</strong> <em>the Balsamic Moon phase begins</em> -- when the Moon reaches 11 degrees of <strong>Pisces.</strong><i> </i>This lasts <b>until Sunday late evening</b>, when the New Moon in <b>Aries </b>becomes exact (for those of you who are impatiently waiting for my New Moon video, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here</a> after April 10th). We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our intuition.\r\n\r\nFor some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes. This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (April 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <strong>until 11:25pm EDT</strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 7:27am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 16 hours, <strong>until 11:25pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to explore any beliefs connected to past experiences that left you feeling disempowered: How could a compassionate approach to the past allow for a new perspective?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday all day and evening ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon trines Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 11:25pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries,</i></b> where it will journey <strong>until Monday very early morning (April 16th)</strong>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<b> </b>\r\n\r\nAlso<strong> on Friday, </strong><em>Mercury Station intensifies in almost 5 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> -- as Mercury is preparing to come to halt on Sunday (ending its 3.5-week retrograde phase). During the station phase, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments once Mercury is moving direct again (to be more precise, during the shadow phase that follows).\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned on Tuesday already,<strong> for the next 6 days</strong>, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait <strong>until after May 3rd</strong>, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 3-6 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (April 14th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b>Aries</b></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Friday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday early morning</strong>, <em>a long-term, opportune Jupiter/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:58am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday (March 19th) on; it will remain strong until Tuesday (May 1st)</strong>. This is second time this year we will experience this aspect -- think back to January, when it last occurred: In what ways were you able to deepen your relationships, business and personal alike?\r\n\r\nA positive attitude and deeper trust in our connections with others gives us the chance to build something meaningful and share our passions. We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support professional or personal goals.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Where could I really dig in to solve a problem? How might passion help deliver on my long-term goals? How could other people\'s resources support my ability to create transformation? How might they help me stand in my power?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>Saturday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Mars/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:27pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until</strong></span> <strong>next week</strong><strong>, </strong><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>Wednesday evening (April 18th)</strong>. </span>This gives us the opportunity to take actions that are in alignment with our dreams and ideals. This is also an opportunity for boundaries to dissolve -- to open and relax.\r\n\r\nCreative or spiritual activities might be a good fit with this planetary connection. We may feel the need to daydream or inspire others. What might it mean, to take \"inspired action\"? What might show up in the world? What if you allowed the Universe to co-create with you?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <span style=\"color: #808080;\">13-17 degrees</span> of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Pisces,  Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>?

What did you learn about your inner dialog over the past 3 weeks? How can you share your newly found inner understanding in a healthy way with the world? What needs to be addressed regarding your personal goals and desires? With a direct and passionate way of approaching communications? With any new-found understanding of your own thinking structures?\r\n\r\nWhen Mercury gets back to its regular speed (<b>by April 20th</b>), communication and transportation will get back to normal; the same is true of any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets (or angles) in 3-6 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Libra.</i></b>\r\n\r\nAs you may recall, I mentioned <i>Mercury shadow phases</i> on Tuesday: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it\'s best to avoid the periods shortly before and after Mercury goes retrograde. This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) This particular <b>shadow phase ends on May 3rd</b>. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">Click here to read my blog on the subject</a>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening, at 9:57pm EDT:</strong> the <em>Moon aligns with the Sun in 26 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em>. This is the beginning of a new Moon cycle; anything brand-new started in the next two weeks has the chance to get off to a great start. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">Also feel free to watch my New Moon video on the subject</a> (will be posted by April 10th)\r\n\r\nThe <i>New Moon in fast-paced, enthusiastic, courageous </i><b><i>Aries</i></b>, asks us to connect to our personal goals and get very clear on what we want to create for the next 28 days. This is an action-packed energy, with the focus on ourselves -- we tend to do first and think later -- we have a tremendous amount of energy and want to sprint.\r\n\r\nAries is the first sign of the zodiac, and thus represents new beginnings, initiation, breaking new ground and birthing new forms. An <em>Aries New Moon</em> is thus an especially fertile time for seeding new projects and directions.\r\n\r\nWe generally don\'t know what will happen when we start something brand-new -- something we have never done before -- and this can bring up insecurities and nervousness, sometimes maybe even plain fear or even panic.\r\n\r\nAries and its ruling planet Mars correspond with the quest to develop courage -- not fearlessness, but the conscious choice to act in spite of fear. Some call this the \"Warrior Energy\".\r\n\r\nOne of the many ways we can demonstrate courage is allow ourselves to be in a state of \"not knowing\" or \"beginners mind\". At these times, we are more present, and sometimes a state of heightened creative potential arises. <b>Ask yourself: </b>What might come forth if I suspended my opinions, beliefs, judgments and concepts, just for a moment, here and there? Could I be brave enough to take a rest from needing to know, just for right now?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars is the ruler of Aries; it\'s currently in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, sextiling Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>.</i> This aspect asks us to create a solid relationship with our long-term ambitions, while allowing for our inner divinity (Source/God) to guide us toward what feels intuitively right to us, so we can go after it, and manifest it.\r\n\r\nIt also bears a cosmic message about relating to our long-term goals in a loving, kind manner -- softening our approach perhaps, releasing rigid \"shoulds\" and any obligations not aligned with our highest calling.\r\n\r\nIn the same spirit, we are also asked to slow down and focus on quality over quantity, sustainability over novelty, ease over force. <b>Questions you can ask yourself here:</b> What structures might support my emotional/intuitive well-being? What actions would connect my ambitious self to my \"soul-self\"?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars also aligns with Pluto and Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>. This combo brings our long-term business dealings into deep and sharp focus, especially when it comes to manifesting something real (tangible, sustainable, meaningful, etc.)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nFurther, anything dysfunctional within our businesses, governments or long-term goals invites investigation. We are being asked to eliminate or transform anything no longer aligned with our Soul’s passions. This is for our highest good -- individually and collectively.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I felt fully empowered from within and felt absolutely passionate about life, what would I go about “building”? What would be truly meaningful to my Soul in the long run?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon aligns with Uranus in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> -- </i><i>and this is also part of a square with Pluto and Mars in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>. This underlines the message that we are ready to take the next big step on our path. Uranus symbolizes the desire for freedom, equality, and (most of all) progress.\r\n\r\nIt takes courage to leave familiar territory.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span><b>Ask yourself:</b> What is the next step on my journey toward becoming an ever-stronger, healthy individual, one who knows themselves, and is not afraid to go after their personal goals and desires? What if it were possible to accomplish that whilst staying focused on my long-term achievements?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> What might that look like?</span>\r\n\r\n<i>This alignment between Uranus and the New Moon</i> asks us to break away from anything keeping us from stepping up our game -- whatever keeps us in a rut.\r\n\r\nShifts are happening everywhere. It\'s time to develop some courage and awareness: Where do you want to step up? Where do you want to break out? If you made a big leap, where would you most like to land? Could you surprise yourself once a day, for the next 28 days?\r\n\r\n<i>Pluto is also stationing -- </i>and thus exalted -- bringing extra intensity to this process. Pluto shows us where we give our power away to others and where we abuse it ourselves. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What structures no longer empower me? What am I most aware of right now? If I\'m honest, what will almost inevitably break down over the long haul, simply because it is no longer sustainable?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury has been retrograde for the past three weeks, </i>guiding us to reevaluate our thinking about personal goals and how we want to move things forward. Mercury\'s retrograde directed us to deal with unfinished business around past or present dealings, <i>to acknowledge what we learned, be thankful for the growth we experienced, and move forward.</i>\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> is all about “Beginner’s Mind” -- open, eager, willing to be surprised. The fewer preconceptions we have, the more possibilities we see, the path widens as we walk it. The aspect also reminds us that communication starts within our own minds -- our inner dialog is the seed for all outer communication.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury will be moving direct on the day of the New Moon</i>, giving the green light to anything that was in a holding pattern for the past 3-6 weeks. That said, anything developed from scratch (or that first came to light) during the retrograde phase is best left on \"pause\", until the shadow phase ends on May 3rd.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe are also cautioned not to be hasty, as <i>Mercury still squares Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>; the message here is \"take it steady\". <b>Ask yourself:</b> What benefits might I reap from taking it one step at a time?\r\n\r\nWe\'ll be dealing with a lot of Stations this month: Mercury, Saturn, Pluto. Keep in mind that these station phases create awareness. When preparing to go retrograde, they in turn prepare us to gain inner clarity and connect to the energies from within (i.e., more intuitively). In this case, that would apply to Saturn and Pluto.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, when going direct, after a retrograde phase, a station prepares us to move forward (in this instance, that applies to Mercury.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>On April 17th,</strong> <em>Saturn goes into its yearly retrograde, this time at 9º <strong>Capricorn.</strong></em> It will turn direct on Sept. 6th at 2.5º, and get back to that starting point of 9º Capricorn on December 12th.\r\n\r\nSaturn in Capricorn exposes the consequences of our long-term ambitions.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>Saturn always calls us to become our own authority, our own judge of what is right, true, and useful long-term. This can be very different from what society, other authority figures, or our country tells us.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWhile I\'m on the subject: the Saturn and Pluto Retrogrades were covered in considerable detail in the last Monthly Forecasting Forum -- and if you want to know how this planetary movement might impact you personally, feel free to purchase the video of the last webinar -- we applied the Pluto and Saturn Retrograde phases to our own birth charts! <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">Click here for more info or to purchase the recording</a>\r\n\r\nThere is also a <b>Special</b> <strong>Offer</strong> linked to that recording<b>:</b> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for the next Forum</a> <b>by April 17th</b>, I will include that Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar for FREE ;-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<em>During the upcoming Retrograde phases,</em> it may be advisable for us to keep the focus more on ourselves, and check in frequently with our inner compass. We also get a chance to see what works (and what doesn\'t) in certain areas of our lives; we can take stock, and look to see what needs a do-over (or at least a reassessment).\r\n\r\nLast but not least, we have <i>Chiron in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> -- this is the last degree of the sign and the aspect is  therefore exalted. We are approaching the end of 7 years of Chiron in Pisces!\r\n\r\nThink back over those last 7 years and <strong>ask yourself:</strong> What have I learned about my relationship to my higher Self/intuition? What have I learned about the emotional body? About the energetic body? What do I know about my inner healing process that I didn\'t know before 2011?\r\n\r\n<i>Chiron will move into </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> </i><b>on April 17th</b> -- the same day that Saturn comes to a halt -- and will remain in this enthusiastic sign until the end of September.\r\n\r\nWe will go over this upcoming shift in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how Chiron\'s journey through Aries, (and Uranus\'s journey through Taurus) will impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. The next Forum will be on <b>Monday, April 30th</b> at 3pm EDT/8pm BST (London-time); <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">for more info or to register, click here</a>\r\n\r\n<b>And of course, there\'s that Special Offer, I mentioned already:</b> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> <b>by April 17th</b>, you will also get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs a reminder to <strong>Star </strong>or<strong> SuperStar members:</strong> you will be automatically signed up for the Forum and will receive a link via email to join the live webinar and also for the video presentation. Watch out for those emails (and check your junk mail, if you don\'t see it in your inbox ;-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAlright, let\'s turn our attention back to this <i>New Moon: </i> we are helped to go beyond the familiar, the comfortable, the customary. Here are some more questions you can <b>ask yourself for the next two to four weeks:</b> What is my vision? What do I want to create now? What needs to change to make this happen?\r\n\r\nThe highest expression of the <b>Aries</b> energy is expressed when we lead others by example and inspiration -- they follow because they see our courage, our enthusiasm for life, and they want to be a part of that. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What if dared to lead responsibly and with integrity? What if I were the one who inspires others and makes a difference? What is the smallest difference I could make? What is the largest?\r\n\r\nDo your best to tap into the very core of your being — your vision, your purpose — and don\'t be fooled: it is an essential part of the collective journey. Be an agent of change! Have the courage to step up and step out!\r\nTo quote Hillel: “If not you, then who? If not now, when?”\r\n\r\n<b>Some bonus questions you can ask yourself for the next 2 weeks:</b> What do I see that needs changing? What do I feel most passionate about? Where do I need to take a stand? What if I approached things with 5% more maturity? What is the outcome that serves long-term? <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> As best as you can, commit to something larger than yourself. Listen to your inner voice and bring your passionate Self to the world. Remember that each of us makes this journey in our own way, in our own time, so focus on yourself -- <em>your</em> path, <em>your</em> truth -- rather than on what lies beyond your control.\r\n\r\nSpring is an excellent time to do a cleanse on all levels.<b> Ask yourself:</b> What changes have already been in the back of my mind for months now? What first step looks inviting?\r\n\r\nRemember, the ultimate goal of this New Moon is to tap into our inner warrior — a mature warrior that generates and protects, rather than the shadow warrior who exploits and destroys -- who is courageous, rather than combative, assertive rather than aggressive.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">To learn more about this month\'s New Moon, please click here to watch my video. </a>(will be posted by April 10th)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 24-28 degrees of either </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>?

This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to <strong>set some powerful intentions</strong> for this month\'s Moon cycle (this process is especially powerful with the <i>New Moon in </i><b><i>Aries)</i></b>. Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <i>not</i> during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase.\r\n\r\nSo this month, we have two periods that are great<i> times to set intentions:</i> the first one is the roughly four hours that lie between <b>9:57pm Sunday late evening (April 15th) </b>and<b> 1:59am Monday very early morning (April 16th).</b>\r\n\r\nIf you aren’t able to set intentions during that time period, wait a few hours, and do so between <b>4:51am on Monday and 6:05pm EDT, Tuesday April 17th. </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more info on setting New Moon Intentions click here</a><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<b>Here’s a few bonus questions:</b> Where could I have “beginner’s mind”?

Mercury follows suit, beginning its own Station phase on Tuesday, that in turn intensifies on Friday (it will come to a complete halt -- ending it\'s retrograde phase -- on Sunday morning).\r\n\r\nIn other news, the Balsamic Moon phase becomes exact on Thursday evening, and the New Moon in Aries becomes exact on Sunday, late in the evening.\r\n\r\nAnd of course, the week wouldn\'t be complete without some <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases -- though there are only two this week: the first on Wednesday, late in the morning (it lasts for almost 4 hours) and a longer one that starts Friday morning and runs for almost 16 hours.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (April 9th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><strong>Capricorn</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 2:50am EDT. </strong><strong>At that point</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <b><strong>until Wednesday afternoon</strong>. </b>The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Monday</strong>, <b> </b><i>Saturn slows down (stations) in 9 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i> <i>\"Stationing\" is when a planet </i>moves more slowly through the sky. When a planet stations, its energy becomes more \"exalted\"; in the case of Saturn, this means we all feel the need to more fully face what is currently so, our actual reality.\r\n\r\nSaturn has to do with doing what needs to be done -- so we can fully understand the practical implications of our reality, and the consequences of our past actions. Saturn also represents our structures, responsibilities, commitments and ability to \"do\" life, on life\'s terms.\r\n\r\nAs spirit beings in a physical world, it\'s best to observe the laws of the physical world. The sooner we learn to \"play by the rules\", the easier life gets. Saturn also represents time and the \"domain\" of time: growing up, maturing, understanding our limitations, setting healthy boundaries with others, living with integrity, being authentic and truthful, being serious and focused on building something of value to society.\r\n\r\nSaturn is our teacher. If you had a cosmic teacher, what would your personal \"earth class\" be in, right now? Where are you being asked to look at your long-term goals and ambitons and became more mature? What calls for a commitment towards building a solid foundation? What will time do?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during the time of the station, bring flexibility and open-mindedness to any frustrations. The station-phase will last <b>until April 24th</b> -- and Saturn will start its 5-month retrograde phase, next week Tuesday, on April 17th…\r\n\r\nFeel free to watch our mp4 video presentation about April\'s Saturn and Pluto Station and Retrograde phases in relationship to our own Birth charts...To purchase this webinar, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">click here. </a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Special Offer:</strong> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-) <b>Please note </b>that we will be talking about Chiron moving into Aries and Uranus moving into Taurus, in our next Forum. Major shifts ahead!\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in </i><b><i>7-11 degrees of  Capricorn, Cancer, Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this station. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>, since Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (April 10th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <strong>all day</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday night/</strong>Wednesday very early morning, <em>a challenging Sun/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:54am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening (April 7th) on; it will remain strong until this Friday night (April 13th)</strong>. What we identify ourselves with could now be challenged. This aspect forces us to confront our will, power, assertion, and authority.\r\n\r\nComing into focus now: the relationship with a father- or other important male-figures. We may face the need to be more independent, assertive, and autonomous.\r\n\r\nWe may alienate others with a controlling, jealous, or overbearing manner. This manner stems from a deep fear of letting go and surrendering to the idea that some things cannot be directed or controlled. We are learning to detach from (let go of) something or someone that no longer serves us -- the \"something\" could include attitudes.\r\n\r\nThis fear may lead us to compulsive, suspicious, or difficult behavior, costing us the very thing that we hold dear. As best as you can, open yourself up to the power of love within. When you do, you will discover your own strength, and rework your very identity. Perhaps most importantly, this aspect puts us face to face with <i>exactly</i> what\'s been holding us back from leading a fuller, more meaningful life.\r\n\r\nWe may have to make some changes or adjustments between our immediate personal desires and our long-term goals. As best as you can, be open to receiving feedback from others during this time.\r\n\r\nIf you feel pressured into doing something or you feel a power struggle build, as best as you can, get centered, get grounded and open your heart and mind. This aspect is a major growth opportunity for us: we struggle with buried elements of our personality and ego, learning to face, accept and transform them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra,  </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (the Sun is the ruler of Leo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso <strong>on Tuesday</strong>, <i>Mercury starts to slow down again (“stationing”).</i><i> </i>It’s getting ready to come to a halt, ending its 3.5-week retrograde phase, on Sunday, April 15th (more on that later this week…). For the next 10 days (<strong>until April 20th</strong><b>)</b>, we need to be patient with ourselves and others -- especially if there is a connection with communication or transportation, and their associated technologies. This is not the best time to start anything brand-new, especially if it contains new information that needs to be processed.\r\n\r\nWe might experience delays or misunderstandings, and things tend to feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time to get ready for travel somewhere -- especially if you intend to use public transportation or drive (For more details on Mercury Shadow Phases and Retrogrades, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">click here</a>)\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets (or angles) <em>in 4-6 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong>, <b>Libra</b>, </em></i><b><i>Capricorn, </i></b><i>or</i><i> </i><b><i>Cancer.</i></b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (April 11th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <strong>until 2:40pm EDT</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:03am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Friday evening (April 6th) on; it will remain strong until this Sunday.</strong> We tend to feel passionate, super-creative, and just plain energized at this time -- we have tons of vitality and warmth.\r\n\r\nThis helps us bring people together for mutual pleasure and benefit; there is also a feeling of flow around creativity and manifesting something real... If you knew it would be easy, what would you pick to create?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of <b>Taurus,</b></i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?</i><i> If so, you may feel more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars rules Aries) </i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday morning</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Sun/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 8:15am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday night</strong>. This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed if we’re to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\nThis aspect brings us to a fork in the road: One path takes us toward personal goals and helps us inspire others by being direct and enthusiastic. The other leads to greater understanding of intimacy, and of how we share our resources with others.\r\n\r\nThere\'s not necessarily a \"correct path\", as both can lead to a deeper exploration of the themes in question. Whichever one you decide to walk, go deeper rather than faster -- empower yourself and others by connecting in an authentic way, being honest about your motivations.\r\n\r\nOne more thing: as best as you can, carefully evaluate any projects before getting involved -- awareness is key with this aspect. Ask yourself: What is needed? How can we serve the broader view?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 22-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules of Leo; Jupiter rules Sagittarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 10:55am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 4 hours, <strong>until 2:40pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday late morning and early afternoon ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon sextiles Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 2:40pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces, </i></b>where it will journey <strong>until Friday late evening</strong>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (April 12th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <strong>all day</strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:26pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday night</strong>. This is an opportunity for compassion and kindness in our social interactions. We are more attuned to the subtleties of human interaction, and are more inclined to naturally cooperate with others. We tend to \"feel\" each other on an energetic level now; a sensitive approach is recommended.\r\n\r\nWe also have an opportunity to connect to our values and gifts from intuition, and use our imagination to attract what we want: When you daydream, what would you like to experience? How would it feel?\r\n\r\nRemember: opportunities are openings; they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 13-17 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune rules Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday evening,</strong> <em>the Balsamic Moon phase begins</em> -- when the Moon reaches 11 degrees of <strong>Pisces.</strong><i> </i>This lasts <b>until Sunday late evening</b>, when the New Moon in <b>Aries </b>becomes exact (for those of you who are impatiently waiting for my New Moon video, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here</a> after April 10th). We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our intuition.\r\n\r\nFor some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes. This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (April 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <strong>until 11:25pm EDT</strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 7:27am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 16 hours, <strong>until 11:25pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to explore any beliefs connected to past experiences that left you feeling disempowered: How could a compassionate approach to the past allow for a new perspective?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday all day and evening ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon trines Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 11:25pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries,</i></b> where it will journey <strong>until Monday very early morning (April 16th)</strong>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<b> </b>\r\n\r\nAlso<strong> on Friday, </strong><em>Mercury Station intensifies in almost 5 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> -- as Mercury is preparing to come to halt on Sunday (ending its 3.5-week retrograde phase). During the station phase, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments once Mercury is moving direct again (to be more precise, during the shadow phase that follows).\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned on Tuesday already,<strong> for the next 6 days</strong>, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait <strong>until after May 3rd</strong>, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 3-6 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (April 14th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b>Aries</b></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Friday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday early morning</strong>, <em>a long-term, opportune Jupiter/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:58am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday (March 19th) on; it will remain strong until Tuesday (May 1st)</strong>. This is second time this year we will experience this aspect -- think back to January, when it last occurred: In what ways were you able to deepen your relationships, business and personal alike?\r\n\r\nA positive attitude and deeper trust in our connections with others gives us the chance to build something meaningful and share our passions. We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support professional or personal goals.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Where could I really dig in to solve a problem? How might passion help deliver on my long-term goals? How could other people\'s resources support my ability to create transformation? How might they help me stand in my power?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>Saturday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Mars/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:27pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until</strong></span> <strong>next week</strong><strong>, </strong><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>Wednesday evening (April 18th)</strong>. </span>This gives us the opportunity to take actions that are in alignment with our dreams and ideals. This is also an opportunity for boundaries to dissolve -- to open and relax.\r\n\r\nCreative or spiritual activities might be a good fit with this planetary connection. We may feel the need to daydream or inspire others. What might it mean, to take \"inspired action\"? What might show up in the world? What if you allowed the Universe to co-create with you?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <span style=\"color: #808080;\">13-17 degrees</span> of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Pisces,  Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>?

This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Neptune rules Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Saturday</strong>, <em>Saturn Station intensifies in 9 degrees of <strong>Capricorn.</strong></em> As I mentioned on Monday already, <i>\"Stationing\" is when a planet </i>moves more slowly through the sky. When a planet stations, its energy becomes more \"exalted\"; in the case of Saturn, this means we all feel the need to more fully face what is currently so, our actual reality.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Where am I being asked to look at my long-term goals and ambitons and became more mature? What calls for a commitment towards building a solid foundation? What will time do?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during the time of the station, bring flexibility and open-mindedness to any frustrations. The station-phase will feel most intense until <b>until April 20th, </b>but altogether, it will run <b>until April 24th</b> -- and Saturn will start its 5-month retrograde phase, next week Tuesday (<b>on April 17th)</b>… more on that next week ;-)\r\n\r\nFeel free to watch our mp4 video presentation about April\'s Saturn and Pluto Station and Retrograde phases in relationship to our own Birth charts...To purchase this webinar, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">click here. </a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Special Offer:</strong> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-) <b>Please note </b>that we will be talking about Chiron moving into Aries and Uranus moving into Taurus, in our next Forum.

If so, you will be more affected by this station. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>, since Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (April 15th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b>Aries</b></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Friday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 5:21am EDT</strong>, <i>Mercury comes to a halt in almost 5 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries </i></b>and <i>slowly starts its direct motion</i><i>, </i>after its 3.5-week retrograde phase<i>.</i> As best as you can, go with the flow, keep an open mind and pay attention to anything that is in your face right now -- you may need to address those issues again, when Mercury moves through its shadow phase…more on that later.\r\n\r\nWe are slowly ready to shift our focus back towards the outer world again, taking in new information and sharing from a new perspective. What did you learn about your inner dialog over the past 3 weeks? How can you share your newly found inner understanding in a healthy way with the world? What needs to be addressed regarding your personal goals and desires? With a direct and passionate way of approaching communications? With any new-found understanding of your own thinking structures?\r\n\r\nWhen Mercury gets back to its regular speed (<b>by April 20th</b>), communication and transportation will get back to normal; the same is true of any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets (or angles) in 3-6 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Libra.</i></b>\r\n\r\nAs you may recall, I mentioned <i>Mercury shadow phases</i> on Tuesday: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it\'s best to avoid the periods shortly before and after Mercury goes retrograde. This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) This particular <b>shadow phase ends on May 3rd</b>. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">Click here to read my blog on the subject</a>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening, at 9:57pm EDT:</strong> the <em>Moon aligns with the Sun in 26 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em>.\r\n\r\nThis is the beginning of a new Moon cycle; anything brand-new started in the next two weeks has the chance to get off to a great start. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">Also feel free to watch my New Moon video on the subject </a>\r\n\r\nThe <i>New Moon in fast-paced, enthusiastic, courageous </i><b><i>Aries</i></b>, asks us to connect to our personal goals and get very clear on what we want to create for the next 28 days. This is an action-packed energy, with the focus on ourselves -- we tend to do first and think later -- we have a tremendous amount of energy and want to sprint.\r\n\r\nAries is the first sign of the zodiac, and thus represents new beginnings, initiation, breaking new ground and birthing new forms. An <em>Aries New Moon</em> is thus an especially fertile time for seeding new projects and directions.\r\n\r\nWe generally don\'t know what will happen when we start something brand-new -- something we have never done before -- and this can bring up insecurities and nervousness, sometimes maybe even plain fear or even panic.\r\n\r\nAries and its ruling planet Mars correspond with the quest to develop courage -- not fearlessness, but the conscious choice to act in spite of fear. Some call this the \"Warrior Energy\".\r\n\r\nOne of the many ways we can demonstrate courage is allow ourselves to be in a state of \"not knowing\" or \"beginners mind\". At these times, we are more present, and sometimes a state of heightened creative potential arises. <b>Ask yourself: </b>What might come forth if I suspended my opinions, beliefs, judgments and concepts, just for a moment, here and there? Could I be brave enough to take a rest from needing to know, just for right now?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars is the ruler of Aries; it\'s currently in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, sextiling Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>.</i> This aspect asks us to create a solid relationship with our long-term ambitions, while allowing for our inner divinity (Source/God) to guide us toward what feels intuitively right to us, so we can go after it, and manifest it.\r\n\r\nIt also bears a cosmic message about relating to our long-term goals in a loving, kind manner -- softening our approach perhaps, releasing rigid \"shoulds\" and any obligations not aligned with our highest calling.\r\n\r\nIn the same spirit, we are also asked to slow down and focus on quality over quantity, sustainability over novelty, ease over force. <b>Questions you can ask yourself here:</b> What structures might support my emotional/intuitive well-being? What actions would connect my ambitious self to my \"soul-self\"?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars also aligns with Pluto and Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>. This combo brings our long-term business dealings into deep and sharp focus, especially when it comes to manifesting something real (tangible, sustainable, meaningful, etc.)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nFurther, anything dysfunctional within our businesses, governments or long-term goals invites investigation. We are being asked to eliminate or transform anything no longer aligned with our Soul’s passions. This is for our highest good -- individually and collectively.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I felt fully empowered from within and felt absolutely passionate about life, what would I go about “building”? What would be truly meaningful to my Soul in the long run?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon aligns with Uranus in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> -- </i><i>and this is also part of a square with Pluto and Mars in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>. This underlines the message that we are ready to take the next big step on our path. Uranus symbolizes the desire for freedom, equality, and (most of all) progress.\r\n\r\nIt takes courage to leave familiar territory.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span><b>Ask yourself:</b> What is the next step on my journey toward becoming an ever-stronger, healthy individual, one who knows themselves, and is not afraid to go after their personal goals and desires? What if it were possible to accomplish that whilst staying focused on my long-term achievements?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> What might that look like?</span>\r\n\r\n<i>This alignment between Uranus and the New Moon</i> asks us to break away from anything keeping us from stepping up our game -- whatever keeps us in a rut.\r\n\r\nShifts are happening everywhere. It\'s time to develop some courage and awareness: Where do you want to step up? Where do you want to break out? If you made a big leap, where would you most like to land? Could you surprise yourself once a day, for the next 28 days?\r\n\r\n<i>Pluto is also stationing -- </i>and thus exalted -- bringing extra intensity to this process. Pluto shows us where we give our power away to others and where we abuse it ourselves. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What structures no longer empower me? What am I most aware of right now? If I\'m honest, what will almost inevitably break down over the long haul, simply because it is no longer sustainable?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury has been retrograde for the past three weeks, </i>guiding us to reevaluate our thinking about personal goals and how we want to move things forward. Mercury\'s retrograde directed us to deal with unfinished business around past or present dealings, <i>to acknowledge what we learned, be thankful for the growth we experienced, and move forward.</i>\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> is all about “Beginner’s Mind” -- open, eager, willing to be surprised. The fewer preconceptions we have, the more possibilities we see, the path widens as we walk it. The aspect also reminds us that communication starts within our own minds -- our inner dialog is the seed for all outer communication.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury will be moving direct on the day of the New Moon</i>, giving the green light to anything that was in a holding pattern for the past 3-6 weeks. That said, anything developed from scratch (or that first came to light) during the retrograde phase is best left on \"pause\", until the shadow phase ends on May 3rd.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe are also cautioned not to be hasty, as <i>Mercury still squares Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>; the message here is \"take it steady\". <b>Ask yourself:</b> What benefits might I reap from taking it one step at a time?\r\n\r\nWe\'ll be dealing with a lot of Stations this month: Mercury, Saturn, Pluto. Keep in mind that these station phases create awareness. When preparing to go retrograde, they in turn prepare us to gain inner clarity and connect to the energies from within (i.e., more intuitively). In this case, that would apply to Saturn and Pluto.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, when going direct, after a retrograde phase, a station prepares us to move forward (in this instance, that applies to Mercury.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>On April 17th,</strong> <em>Saturn goes into its yearly retrograde, this time at 9º <strong>Capricorn.</strong></em> It will turn direct on Sept. 6th at 2.5º, and get back to that starting point of 9º Capricorn on December 12th.\r\n\r\nSaturn in Capricorn exposes the consequences of our long-term ambitions.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>Saturn always calls us to become our own authority, our own judge of what is right, true, and useful long-term. This can be very different from what society, other authority figures, or our country tells us.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWhile I\'m on the subject: the Saturn and Pluto Retrogrades were covered in considerable detail in the last Monthly Forecasting Forum -- and if you want to know how this planetary movement might impact you personally, feel free to purchase the video of the last webinar -- we applied the Pluto and Saturn Retrograde phases to our own birth charts! <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">Click here for more info or to purchase the recording</a>\r\n\r\nThere is also a <b>Special</b> <strong>Offer</strong> linked to that recording<b>:</b> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for the next Forum</a> <b>by April 17th</b>, I will include that Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar for FREE ;-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<em>During the upcoming Retrograde phases,</em> it may be advisable for us to keep the focus more on ourselves, and check in frequently with our inner compass. We also get a chance to see what works (and what doesn\'t) in certain areas of our lives; we can take stock, and look to see what needs a do-over (or at least a reassessment).\r\n\r\nLast but not least, we have <i>Chiron in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> -- this is the last degree of the sign and the aspect is  therefore exalted. We are approaching the end of 7 years of Chiron in Pisces!\r\n\r\nThink back over those last 7 years and <strong>ask yourself:</strong> What have I learned about my relationship to my higher Self/intuition? What have I learned about the emotional body? About the energetic body? What do I know about my inner healing process that I didn\'t know before 2011?\r\n\r\n<i>Chiron will move into </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> </i><b>on April 17th</b> -- the same day that Saturn comes to a halt -- and will remain in this enthusiastic sign until the end of September.\r\n\r\nWe will go over this upcoming shift in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how Chiron\'s journey through Aries, (and Uranus\'s journey through Taurus) will impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. The next Forum will be on <b>Monday, April 30th</b> at 3pm EDT/8pm BST (London-time); <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">for more info or to register, click here</a>\r\n\r\n<b>And of course, there\'s that Special Offer, I mentioned already:</b> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> <b>by April 17th</b>, you will also get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs a reminder to <strong>Star </strong>or<strong> SuperStar members:</strong> you will be automatically signed up for the Forum and will receive a link via email to join the live webinar and also for the video presentation. Watch out for those emails (and check your junk mail, if you don\'t see it in your inbox ;-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAlright, let\'s turn our attention back to this <i>New Moon: </i> we are helped to go beyond the familiar, the comfortable, the customary. Here are some more questions you can <b>ask yourself for the next two to four weeks:</b> What is my vision? What do I want to create now? What needs to change to make this happen?\r\n\r\nThe highest expression of the <b>Aries</b> energy is expressed when we lead others by example and inspiration -- they follow because they see our courage, our enthusiasm for life, and they want to be a part of that. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What if dared to lead responsibly and with integrity? What if I were the one who inspires others and makes a difference? What is the smallest difference I could make? What is the largest?\r\n\r\nDo your best to tap into the very core of your being — your vision, your purpose — and don\'t be fooled: it is an essential part of the collective journey. Be an agent of change! Have the courage to step up and step out!\r\nTo quote Hillel: “If not you, then who? If not now, when?”\r\n\r\n<b>Some bonus questions you can ask yourself for the next 2 weeks:</b> What do I see that needs changing? What do I feel most passionate about? Where do I need to take a stand? What if I approached things with 5% more maturity? What is the outcome that serves long-term? <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> As best as you can, commit to something larger than yourself. Listen to your inner voice and bring your passionate Self to the world. Remember that each of us makes this journey in our own way, in our own time, so focus on yourself -- <em>your</em> path, <em>your</em> truth -- rather than on what lies beyond your control.\r\n\r\nSpring is an excellent time to do a cleanse on all levels.<b> Ask yourself:</b> What changes have already been in the back of my mind for months now? What first step looks inviting?\r\n\r\nRemember, the ultimate goal of this New Moon is to tap into our inner warrior — a mature warrior that generates and protects, rather than the shadow warrior who exploits and destroys -- who is courageous, rather than combative, assertive rather than aggressive.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">To learn more about this month\'s New Moon, please click here to watch my video. </a>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 24-28 degrees of either </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>?

Mercury follows suit, beginning its own Station phase on Tuesday, that in turn intensifies on Friday (it will come to a complete halt -- ending it\'s retrograde phase -- on Sunday morning).\r\n\r\nIn other news, the Balsamic Moon phase becomes exact on Thursday evening, and the New Moon in Aries becomes exact on Sunday, late in the evening.\r\n\r\nAnd of course, the week wouldn\'t be complete without some <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases -- though there are only two this week: the first on Wednesday, late in the morning (it lasts for almost 4 hours) and a longer one that starts Friday morning and runs for almost 16 hours.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (April 9th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><strong>Capricorn</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 2:50am EDT. </strong><strong>At that point</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <b><strong>until Wednesday afternoon</strong>. </b>The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Monday</strong>, <b> </b><i>Saturn slows down (stations) in 9 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i> <i>\"Stationing\" is when a planet </i>moves more slowly through the sky. When a planet stations, its energy becomes more \"exalted\"; in the case of Saturn, this means we all feel the need to more fully face what is currently so, our actual reality.\r\n\r\nSaturn has to do with doing what needs to be done -- so we can fully understand the practical implications of our reality, and the consequences of our past actions. Saturn also represents our structures, responsibilities, commitments and ability to \"do\" life, on life\'s terms.\r\n\r\nAs spirit beings in a physical world, it\'s best to observe the laws of the physical world. The sooner we learn to \"play by the rules\", the easier life gets. Saturn also represents time and the \"domain\" of time: growing up, maturing, understanding our limitations, setting healthy boundaries with others, living with integrity, being authentic and truthful, being serious and focused on building something of value to society.\r\n\r\nSaturn is our teacher. If you had a cosmic teacher, what would your personal \"earth class\" be in, right now? Where are you being asked to look at your long-term goals and ambitons and became more mature? What calls for a commitment towards building a solid foundation? What will time do?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during the time of the station, bring flexibility and open-mindedness to any frustrations. The station-phase will last <b>until April 24th</b> -- and Saturn will start its 5-month retrograde phase, next week Tuesday, on April 17th…\r\n\r\nFeel free to watch our mp4 video presentation about April\'s Saturn and Pluto Station and Retrograde phases in relationship to our own Birth charts...To purchase this webinar, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">click here. </a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Special Offer:</strong> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-) <b>Please note </b>that we will be talking about Chiron moving into Aries and Uranus moving into Taurus, in our next Forum. Major shifts ahead!\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in </i><b><i>7-11 degrees of  Capricorn, Cancer, Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this station. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>, since Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (April 10th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <strong>all day</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday night/</strong>Wednesday very early morning, <em>a challenging Sun/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:54am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening (April 7th) on; it will remain strong until this Friday night (April 13th)</strong>. What we identify ourselves with could now be challenged. This aspect forces us to confront our will, power, assertion, and authority.\r\n\r\nComing into focus now: the relationship with a father- or other important male-figures. We may face the need to be more independent, assertive, and autonomous.\r\n\r\nWe may alienate others with a controlling, jealous, or overbearing manner. This manner stems from a deep fear of letting go and surrendering to the idea that some things cannot be directed or controlled. We are learning to detach from (let go of) something or someone that no longer serves us -- the \"something\" could include attitudes.\r\n\r\nThis fear may lead us to compulsive, suspicious, or difficult behavior, costing us the very thing that we hold dear. As best as you can, open yourself up to the power of love within. When you do, you will discover your own strength, and rework your very identity. Perhaps most importantly, this aspect puts us face to face with <i>exactly</i> what\'s been holding us back from leading a fuller, more meaningful life.\r\n\r\nWe may have to make some changes or adjustments between our immediate personal desires and our long-term goals. As best as you can, be open to receiving feedback from others during this time.\r\n\r\nIf you feel pressured into doing something or you feel a power struggle build, as best as you can, get centered, get grounded and open your heart and mind. This aspect is a major growth opportunity for us: we struggle with buried elements of our personality and ego, learning to face, accept and transform them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra,  </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (the Sun is the ruler of Leo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso <strong>on Tuesday</strong>, <i>Mercury starts to slow down again (“stationing”).</i><i> </i>It’s getting ready to come to a halt, ending its 3.5-week retrograde phase, on Sunday, April 15th (more on that later this week…). For the next 10 days (<strong>until April 20th</strong><b>)</b>, we need to be patient with ourselves and others -- especially if there is a connection with communication or transportation, and their associated technologies. This is not the best time to start anything brand-new, especially if it contains new information that needs to be processed.\r\n\r\nWe might experience delays or misunderstandings, and things tend to feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time to get ready for travel somewhere -- especially if you intend to use public transportation or drive (For more details on Mercury Shadow Phases and Retrogrades, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">click here</a>)\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets (or angles) <em>in 4-6 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong>, <b>Libra</b>, </em></i><b><i>Capricorn, </i></b><i>or</i><i> </i><b><i>Cancer.</i></b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (April 11th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <strong>until 2:40pm EDT</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:03am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Friday evening (April 6th) on; it will remain strong until this Sunday.</strong> We tend to feel passionate, super-creative, and just plain energized at this time -- we have tons of vitality and warmth.\r\n\r\nThis helps us bring people together for mutual pleasure and benefit; there is also a feeling of flow around creativity and manifesting something real... If you knew it would be easy, what would you pick to create?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of <b>Taurus,</b></i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?</i><i> If so, you may feel more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars rules Aries) </i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday morning</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Sun/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 8:15am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday night</strong>. This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed if we’re to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\nThis aspect brings us to a fork in the road: One path takes us toward personal goals and helps us inspire others by being direct and enthusiastic. The other leads to greater understanding of intimacy, and of how we share our resources with others.\r\n\r\nThere\'s not necessarily a \"correct path\", as both can lead to a deeper exploration of the themes in question. Whichever one you decide to walk, go deeper rather than faster -- empower yourself and others by connecting in an authentic way, being honest about your motivations.\r\n\r\nOne more thing: as best as you can, carefully evaluate any projects before getting involved -- awareness is key with this aspect. Ask yourself: What is needed? How can we serve the broader view?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 22-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules of Leo; Jupiter rules Sagittarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 10:55am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 4 hours, <strong>until 2:40pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday late morning and early afternoon ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon sextiles Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 2:40pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces, </i></b>where it will journey <strong>until Friday late evening</strong>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (April 12th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <strong>all day</strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:26pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday night</strong>. This is an opportunity for compassion and kindness in our social interactions. We are more attuned to the subtleties of human interaction, and are more inclined to naturally cooperate with others. We tend to \"feel\" each other on an energetic level now; a sensitive approach is recommended.\r\n\r\nWe also have an opportunity to connect to our values and gifts from intuition, and use our imagination to attract what we want: When you daydream, what would you like to experience? How would it feel?\r\n\r\nRemember: opportunities are openings; they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 13-17 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune rules Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday evening,</strong> <em>the Balsamic Moon phase begins</em> -- when the Moon reaches 11 degrees of <strong>Pisces.</strong><i> </i>This lasts <b>until Sunday late evening</b>, when the New Moon in <b>Aries </b>becomes exact (for those of you who are impatiently waiting for my New Moon video, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here</a> after April 10th). We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our intuition.\r\n\r\nFor some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes. This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (April 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <strong>until 11:25pm EDT</strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 7:27am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 16 hours, <strong>until 11:25pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to explore any beliefs connected to past experiences that left you feeling disempowered: How could a compassionate approach to the past allow for a new perspective?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday all day and evening ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon trines Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 11:25pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries,</i></b> where it will journey <strong>until Monday very early morning (April 16th)</strong>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<b> </b>\r\n\r\nAlso<strong> on Friday, </strong><em>Mercury Station intensifies in almost 5 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> -- as Mercury is preparing to come to halt on Sunday (ending its 3.5-week retrograde phase). During the station phase, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments once Mercury is moving direct again (to be more precise, during the shadow phase that follows).\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned on Tuesday already,<strong> for the next 6 days</strong>, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait <strong>until after May 3rd</strong>, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 3-6 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (April 14th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b>Aries</b></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Friday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday early morning</strong>, <em>a long-term, opportune Jupiter/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:58am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday (March 19th) on; it will remain strong until Tuesday (May 1st)</strong>. This is second time this year we will experience this aspect -- think back to January, when it last occurred: In what ways were you able to deepen your relationships, business and personal alike?\r\n\r\nA positive attitude and deeper trust in our connections with others gives us the chance to build something meaningful and share our passions. We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support professional or personal goals.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Where could I really dig in to solve a problem? How might passion help deliver on my long-term goals? How could other people\'s resources support my ability to create transformation? How might they help me stand in my power?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>Saturday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Mars/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:27pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until</strong></span> <strong>next week</strong><strong>, </strong><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>Wednesday evening (April 18th)</strong>. </span>This gives us the opportunity to take actions that are in alignment with our dreams and ideals. This is also an opportunity for boundaries to dissolve -- to open and relax.\r\n\r\nCreative or spiritual activities might be a good fit with this planetary connection. We may feel the need to daydream or inspire others. What might it mean, to take \"inspired action\"? What might show up in the world? What if you allowed the Universe to co-create with you?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <span style=\"color: #808080;\">13-17 degrees</span> of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Pisces,  Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>?

With any new-found understanding of your own thinking structures?\r\n\r\nWhen Mercury gets back to its regular speed (<b>by April 20th</b>), communication and transportation will get back to normal; the same is true of any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets (or angles) in 3-6 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Libra.</i></b>\r\n\r\nAs you may recall, I mentioned <i>Mercury shadow phases</i> on Tuesday: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it\'s best to avoid the periods shortly before and after Mercury goes retrograde. This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) This particular <b>shadow phase ends on May 3rd</b>. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">Click here to read my blog on the subject</a>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening, at 9:57pm EDT:</strong> the <em>Moon aligns with the Sun in 26 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em>.\r\n\r\nThis is the beginning of a new Moon cycle; anything brand-new started in the next two weeks has the chance to get off to a great start. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">Also feel free to watch my New Moon video on the subject </a>\r\n\r\nThe <i>New Moon in fast-paced, enthusiastic, courageous </i><b><i>Aries</i></b>, asks us to connect to our personal goals and get very clear on what we want to create for the next 28 days. This is an action-packed energy, with the focus on ourselves -- we tend to do first and think later -- we have a tremendous amount of energy and want to sprint.\r\n\r\nAries is the first sign of the zodiac, and thus represents new beginnings, initiation, breaking new ground and birthing new forms. An <em>Aries New Moon</em> is thus an especially fertile time for seeding new projects and directions.\r\n\r\nWe generally don\'t know what will happen when we start something brand-new -- something we have never done before -- and this can bring up insecurities and nervousness, sometimes maybe even plain fear or even panic.\r\n\r\nAries and its ruling planet Mars correspond with the quest to develop courage -- not fearlessness, but the conscious choice to act in spite of fear. Some call this the \"Warrior Energy\".\r\n\r\nOne of the many ways we can demonstrate courage is allow ourselves to be in a state of \"not knowing\" or \"beginners mind\". At these times, we are more present, and sometimes a state of heightened creative potential arises. <b>Ask yourself: </b>What might come forth if I suspended my opinions, beliefs, judgments and concepts, just for a moment, here and there? Could I be brave enough to take a rest from needing to know, just for right now?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars is the ruler of Aries; it\'s currently in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, sextiling Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>.</i> This aspect asks us to create a solid relationship with our long-term ambitions, while allowing for our inner divinity (Source/God) to guide us toward what feels intuitively right to us, so we can go after it, and manifest it.\r\n\r\nIt also bears a cosmic message about relating to our long-term goals in a loving, kind manner -- softening our approach perhaps, releasing rigid \"shoulds\" and any obligations not aligned with our highest calling.\r\n\r\nIn the same spirit, we are also asked to slow down and focus on quality over quantity, sustainability over novelty, ease over force. <b>Questions you can ask yourself here:</b> What structures might support my emotional/intuitive well-being? What actions would connect my ambitious self to my \"soul-self\"?\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\"><i>Mars also aligns with Pluto and Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>. This combo brings a tremendous focus to our long-term business dealings, especially in regards to manifesting something real — in other words: tangible, sustainable, meaningful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">We are also invited to investigate anything dysfunctional within our businesses, governments or long-term goals. We are being asked to eliminate or transform whatever is no longer in alignment with our Soul’s passions, and for our highest good -- individually and collectively.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\"><b>Ask yourself:</b> If I felt fully empowered from within and felt absolutely passionate about life, what would I go about “building”? What would be truly meaningful to my Soul in the long run?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\"><i>The New Moon aligns with Uranus in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, and this is also part of a square with Pluto, and Mars in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>. This underlines the message that we are ready for the next big step on our path. Uranus symbolizes the desire for freedom, equality and most of all: progress. It takes courage to leave familiar territory.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\"><b>Ask yourself:</b> What would it look like if I stepped into being a strong, healthy individual, knowing myself, and not being afraid to go after my personal goals/desires? How might I be able to accomplish that whilst staying focused on my long-term achievements?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\"><i>The alignment between Uranus and the New Moon</i>, asks us to break away from whatever keeps us from stepping up our game, whatever keeps us in a rut. Shifts are happening everywhere. It\'s time to develop some courage and awareness: Where do you want to step up and out? If you made a big leap, where might you land? How would \"thinking outside the box\" be of help on your journey for the next 28 days?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\"><i>Pluto is also stationing</i> (and thus exalted); this brings extra intensity to this process. Pluto shows us where we give our power away to others and where we abuse it ourselves. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What structures no longer empower me? What am I most aware of right now? What might break down over the long haul, simply because it is no longer sustainable?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\"><i>Mercury has been retrograde for the past three weeks</i>: we have been reevaluating our thinking about personal goals and how we want to move things forward. Mercury\'s retrograde directed us to deal with unfinished business around past or present dealings; <i>to acknowledge what we learned, be thankful for the growth we experienced, and move forward.</i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\"><i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> is all about “Beginner’s Mind”: Open, eager, willing to be surprised. The fewer preconceptions we have, the more possibilities we see, and the wider the path grows. It reminds us that communication starts within our own minds, our own inner dialog is the seed for all communications with others.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">With <i>Mercury moving direct on the day of the New Moon</i>, we are getting a green light to move anything forward that has been in a holding pattern for the past 3-6 weeks. For anything brand-new that developed or came up during the retrograde phase, if possible, wait until the shadow phase is over on May 3rd.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">We are also invited not to do anything hasty, as <i>Mercury still squares Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>. The message here is: steady and slow rather than impulsive and fast. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What benefits could I reap from taking it one step at a time?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">Since we will be dealing with a lot of Stations this month (Mercury, Saturn, and Pluto), keep in mind that these phases create awareness and prepare us to either gain inner clarity and connecting to the energies from within (i.e., more intuitively) -- when preparing to go retrograde: Saturn and Pluto) -- or to move forward (when going direct, after a retrograde phase: Mercury).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong>On April 17th</strong> <em>Saturn takes its yearly turn retrograde at 9º <strong>Capricorn</strong></em>, turning direct on Sept. 6th at 2.5º, and once again reaching 9º Capricorn on December 12th. Saturn in Capricorn exposes the consequences of our long-term ambitions.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>Saturn calls us to become our own authority, our own judge of what is right, true, and useful long-term, which can be very different from what society, other authority figures, or our country tells us.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">We also covered the Saturn and Pluto Retrograde in more detail in our last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how this planetary movement is impacting you personally, feel free to purchase the video-presentation of the last webinar -- we applied the Pluto and Saturn Retrograde phases to our own birth charts! <a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">Click here for more info or to purchase the recording</a></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">There is also a <b>Special Offer:</b> If you <a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> <b>by April 17th</b>, you will get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\"><em>The upcoming Retrograde phases</em> may require us to keep the focus more on ourselves (and check in with our inner compass). It also gives us a chance to see what works (and what doesn\'t) in certain areas of our lives; we can take stock and look to see what needs a do-over (or at least a reassessment).</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">Last but not least, we have <i>Chiron in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> -- the last degree of the sign (therefore exalted). Think back over the last 7 years, while Chiron was in Pisces, and <strong>ask yourself:</strong> What have I learned about my relationship to my higher Self/intuition? What have I learned about the emotional body, about the energetic body? What do I know about my inner healing process that I didn\'t know before 2011?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\"><i>Chiron will be moving into </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> </i><b>on April 17th,</b> same day as Saturn comes to a halt. It will remain in this enthusiastic sign until the end of September.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">We will go over this upcoming shift in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how Chiron\'s journey through Aries, as well as Uranus\'s journey through Taurus will impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. The next Forum will be on <b>Monday, April 30th</b> at 3pm EDT/8pm BST (London-time); <a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">for more info or to register, click here</a></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\"><b>Remember the Special Offer, I mentioned already:</b> If you <a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> <b>by April 17th</b>, you will also get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">If you are currently a <strong>Star </strong>or<strong> SuperStar member</strong> on my site, you will be automatically signed up for the Forum and receive a link via email to join the live webinar and also for the video presentation.

Here are some more questions you can <b>ask yourself for the next two to four weeks:</b> What is my vision? What do I want to create now? What needs to change to make this happen?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">The highest expression of the <b>Aries</b> energy is when we lead others by example and inspiration -- others follow us because they see our courage, our enthusiasm for life, and they want to be a part of it. <b>Ask yourself:</b> How can I lead responsibly and with integrity? How can I step into being the one who can inspire others and make a difference -- in small or large ways?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">As best as you can, tap into the core of your being — your vision, your purpose — it is an essential part of the collective journey. Be an agent of change; have the courage to step up and out: The time is NOW! The place is HERE!<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\"><b>Some more questions to ask yourself for the next 2 weeks:</b> What do I see that needs changing in my life? What do I feel most passionate about? Where do I need to take a stand? How can I approach the situation with maturity? What is the outcome I seek that serves long-term? <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\"><b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> As best as you can, commit to something larger than yourself. Listen to your inner voice and bring your passionate Self to the world. Remember that each of us makes this journey in our own way and in our own time. Focus on yourself, your own path, your own truth, rather than trying to control what is not under your control.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">Spring is an excellent time to do a cleanse on all levels.<b> Ask yourself:</b> What are the changes that have already been in the back of my mind for months now? What\'s the first step I could take to make a start?</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">The ultimate goal of this New Moon is to tap into our inner warrior — a mature warrior that generates and protects life, rather than exploiting and destroying it -- courageous, rather than combative, assertive without being aggressive. <a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">To learn more about this month\'s New Moon, please click here to watch my video. </a></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in one of the following placements: 24-28 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">The New Moon is also the best time to <strong>set some powerful intentions</strong> for this month\'s Moon cycle. This process is especially powerful with the <i>New Moon in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b>. Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <i>not</i> during a <a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase.</span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\">So this month, we have two periods that are great<i> times to set intentions:</i> first one is four hours long -- any time between <b>9:57pm Sunday late evening (April 15th) </b>and<b> 1:59am Monday very early morning (April 16th).</b> If you aren’t able to do it during that time period, wait a few hours and set them between <b>4:51am on Monday and 6:05pm EDT, Tuesday April 17th. </b><a style=\"color: #993300;\" href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more info on setting New Moon Intentions click here</a><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span></span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #993300;\"><b>Here’s a few bonus questions:</b> Where can I approach my life with “beginner’s mind”?

Mercury follows suit, beginning its own Station phase on Tuesday, that in turn intensifies on Friday (it will come to a complete halt -- ending it\'s retrograde phase -- on Sunday morning).\r\n\r\nIn other news, the Balsamic Moon phase becomes exact on Thursday evening, and the New Moon in Aries becomes exact on Sunday, late in the evening.\r\n\r\nAnd of course, the week wouldn\'t be complete without some <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases -- though there are only two this week: the first on Wednesday, late in the morning (it lasts for almost 4 hours) and a longer one that starts Friday morning and runs for almost 16 hours.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (April 9th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><strong>Capricorn</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 2:50am EDT. </strong><strong>At that point</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <b><strong>until Wednesday afternoon</strong>. </b>The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Monday</strong>, <b> </b><i>Saturn slows down (stations) in 9 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i> <i>\"Stationing\" is when a planet </i>moves more slowly through the sky. When a planet stations, its energy becomes more \"exalted\"; in the case of Saturn, this means we all feel the need to more fully face what is currently so, our actual reality.\r\n\r\nSaturn has to do with doing what needs to be done -- so we can fully understand the practical implications of our reality, and the consequences of our past actions. Saturn also represents our structures, responsibilities, commitments and ability to \"do\" life, on life\'s terms.\r\n\r\nAs spirit beings in a physical world, it\'s best to observe the laws of the physical world. The sooner we learn to \"play by the rules\", the easier life gets. Saturn also represents time and the \"domain\" of time: growing up, maturing, understanding our limitations, setting healthy boundaries with others, living with integrity, being authentic and truthful, being serious and focused on building something of value to society.\r\n\r\nSaturn is our teacher. If you had a cosmic teacher, what would your personal \"earth class\" be in, right now? Where are you being asked to look at your long-term goals and ambitons and became more mature? What calls for a commitment towards building a solid foundation? What will time do?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during the time of the station, bring flexibility and open-mindedness to any frustrations. The station-phase will last <b>until April 24th</b> -- and Saturn will start its 5-month retrograde phase, next week Tuesday, on April 17th…\r\n\r\nFeel free to watch our mp4 video presentation about April\'s Saturn and Pluto Station and Retrograde phases in relationship to our own Birth charts...To purchase this webinar, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">click here. </a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Special Offer:</strong> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-) <b>Please note </b>that we will be talking about Chiron moving into Aries and Uranus moving into Taurus, in our next Forum. Major shifts ahead!\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in </i><b><i>7-11 degrees of  Capricorn, Cancer, Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this station. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>, since Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (April 10th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <strong>all day</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday night/</strong>Wednesday very early morning, <em>a challenging Sun/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:54am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening (April 7th) on; it will remain strong until this Friday night (April 13th)</strong>. What we identify ourselves with could now be challenged. This aspect forces us to confront our will, power, assertion, and authority.\r\n\r\nComing into focus now: the relationship with a father- or other important male-figures. We may face the need to be more independent, assertive, and autonomous.\r\n\r\nWe may alienate others with a controlling, jealous, or overbearing manner. This manner stems from a deep fear of letting go and surrendering to the idea that some things cannot be directed or controlled. We are learning to detach from (let go of) something or someone that no longer serves us -- the \"something\" could include attitudes.\r\n\r\nThis fear may lead us to compulsive, suspicious, or difficult behavior, costing us the very thing that we hold dear. As best as you can, open yourself up to the power of love within. When you do, you will discover your own strength, and rework your very identity. Perhaps most importantly, this aspect puts us face to face with <i>exactly</i> what\'s been holding us back from leading a fuller, more meaningful life.\r\n\r\nWe may have to make some changes or adjustments between our immediate personal desires and our long-term goals. As best as you can, be open to receiving feedback from others during this time.\r\n\r\nIf you feel pressured into doing something or you feel a power struggle build, as best as you can, get centered, get grounded and open your heart and mind. This aspect is a major growth opportunity for us: we struggle with buried elements of our personality and ego, learning to face, accept and transform them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra,  </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

For the next 10 days (<strong>until April 20th</strong><b>)</b>, we need to be patient with ourselves and others -- especially if there is a connection with communication or transportation, and their associated technologies. This is not the best time to start anything brand-new, especially if it contains new information that needs to be processed.\r\n\r\nWe might experience delays or misunderstandings, and things tend to feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time to get ready for travel somewhere -- especially if you intend to use public transportation or drive (For more details on Mercury Shadow Phases and Retrogrades, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">click here</a>)\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets (or angles) <em>in 4-6 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong>, <b>Libra</b>, </em></i><b><i>Capricorn, </i></b><i>or</i><i> </i><b><i>Cancer.</i></b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (April 11th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <strong>until 2:40pm EDT</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:03am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Friday evening (April 6th) on; it will remain strong until this Sunday.</strong> We tend to feel passionate, super-creative, and just plain energized at this time -- we have tons of vitality and warmth.\r\n\r\nThis helps us bring people together for mutual pleasure and benefit; there is also a feeling of flow around creativity and manifesting something real... If you knew it would be easy, what would you pick to create?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of <b>Taurus,</b></i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?</i><i> If so, you may feel more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars rules Aries) </i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday morning</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Sun/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 8:15am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday night</strong>. This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed if we’re to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\nThis aspect brings us to a fork in the road: One path takes us toward personal goals and helps us inspire others by being direct and enthusiastic. The other leads to greater understanding of intimacy, and of how we share our resources with others.\r\n\r\nThere\'s not necessarily a \"correct path\", as both can lead to a deeper exploration of the themes in question. Whichever one you decide to walk, go deeper rather than faster -- empower yourself and others by connecting in an authentic way, being honest about your motivations.\r\n\r\nOne more thing: as best as you can, carefully evaluate any projects before getting involved -- awareness is key with this aspect. Ask yourself: What is needed? How can we serve the broader view?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 22-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>?

We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (April 12th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <strong>all day</strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:26pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday night</strong>. This is an opportunity for compassion and kindness in our social interactions. We are more attuned to the subtleties of human interaction, and are more inclined to naturally cooperate with others. We tend to \"feel\" each other on an energetic level now; a sensitive approach is recommended.\r\n\r\nWe also have an opportunity to connect to our values and gifts from intuition, and use our imagination to attract what we want: When you daydream, what would you like to experience? How would it feel?\r\n\r\nRemember: opportunities are openings; they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 13-17 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune rules Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday evening,</strong> <em>the Balsamic Moon phase begins</em> -- when the Moon reaches 11 degrees of <strong>Pisces.</strong><i> </i>This lasts <b>until Sunday late evening</b>, when the New Moon in <b>Aries </b>becomes exact (for those of you who are impatiently waiting for my New Moon video, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here</a> after April 10th). We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our intuition.\r\n\r\nFor some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes. This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (April 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <strong>until 11:25pm EDT</strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 7:27am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 16 hours, <strong>until 11:25pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to explore any beliefs connected to past experiences that left you feeling disempowered: How could a compassionate approach to the past allow for a new perspective?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<b> </b>\r\n\r\nAlso<strong> on Friday, </strong><em>Mercury Station intensifies in almost 5 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> -- as Mercury is preparing to come to halt on Sunday (ending its 3.5-week retrograde phase). During the station phase, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments once Mercury is moving direct again (to be more precise, during the shadow phase that follows).\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned on Tuesday already,<strong> for the next 6 days</strong>, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait <strong>until after May 3rd</strong>, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 3-6 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (April 14th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b>Aries</b></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Friday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday early morning</strong>, <em>a long-term, opportune Jupiter/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:58am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday (March 19th) on; it will remain strong until Tuesday (May 1st)</strong>. This is second time this year we will experience this aspect -- think back to January, when it last occurred: In what ways were you able to deepen your relationships, business and personal alike?\r\n\r\nA positive attitude and deeper trust in our connections with others gives us the chance to build something meaningful and share our passions. We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support professional or personal goals.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Where could I really dig in to solve a problem? How might passion help deliver on my long-term goals? How could other people\'s resources support my ability to create transformation? How might they help me stand in my power?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>?

We may feel the need to daydream or inspire others. What might it mean, to take \"inspired action\"? What might show up in the world?

What did you learn about your inner dialog over the past 3 weeks? How can you share your newly found inner understanding in a healthy way with the world? What needs to be addressed regarding your personal goals and desires? With a direct and passionate way of approaching communications? With any new-found understanding of your own thinking structures?\r\n\r\nWhen Mercury gets back to its regular speed (<b>by April 20th</b>), communication and transportation will get back to normal; the same is true of any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets (or angles) in 3-6 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Libra.</i></b>\r\n\r\nAs you may recall, I mentioned <i>Mercury shadow phases</i> on Tuesday: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it\'s best to avoid the periods shortly before and after Mercury goes retrograde. This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) This particular <b>shadow phase ends on May 3rd</b>. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">Click here to read my blog on the subject</a>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening, at 9:57pm EDT:</strong> the <em>Moon aligns with the Sun in 26 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em>.\r\n\r\nThis is the beginning of a new Moon cycle; anything brand-new started in the next two weeks has the chance to get off to a great start. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">Also feel free to watch my New Moon video on the subject </a>\r\n\r\nThe <i>New Moon in fast-paced, enthusiastic, courageous </i><b><i>Aries</i></b>, asks us to connect to our personal goals and get very clear on what we want to create for the next 28 days. This is an action-packed energy, with the focus on ourselves -- we tend to do first and think later -- we have a tremendous amount of energy and want to sprint.\r\n\r\nAries is the first sign of the zodiac, and thus represents new beginnings, initiation, breaking new ground and birthing new forms. An <em>Aries New Moon</em> is thus an especially fertile time for seeding new projects and directions.\r\n\r\nWe generally don\'t know what will happen when we start something brand-new -- something we have never done before -- and this can bring up insecurities and nervousness, sometimes maybe even plain fear or even panic.\r\n\r\nAries and its ruling planet Mars correspond with the quest to develop courage -- not fearlessness, but the conscious choice to act in spite of fear. Some call this the \"Warrior Energy\".\r\n\r\nOne of the many ways we can demonstrate courage is allow ourselves to be in a state of \"not knowing\" or \"beginners mind\". At these times, we are more present, and sometimes a state of heightened creative potential arises. <b>Ask yourself: </b>What might come forth if I suspended my opinions, beliefs, judgments and concepts, just for a moment, here and there? Could I be brave enough to take a rest from needing to know, just for right now?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars is the ruler of Aries; it\'s currently in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, sextiling Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>.</i> This aspect asks us to create a solid relationship with our long-term ambitions, while allowing for our inner divinity (Source/God) to guide us toward what feels intuitively right to us, so we can go after it, and manifest it.\r\n\r\nIt also bears a cosmic message about relating to our long-term goals in a loving, kind manner -- softening our approach perhaps, releasing rigid \"shoulds\" and any obligations not aligned with our highest calling.\r\n\r\nIn the same spirit, we are also asked to slow down and focus on quality over quantity, sustainability over novelty, ease over force. <b>Questions you can ask yourself here:</b> What structures might support my emotional/intuitive well-being? What actions would connect my ambitious self to my \"soul-self\"?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars also aligns with Pluto and Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>. This combo brings our long-term business dealings into deep and sharp focus, especially when it comes to manifesting something real (tangible, sustainable, meaningful, etc.)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nFurther, anything dysfunctional within our businesses, governments or long-term goals invites investigation. We are being asked to eliminate or transform anything no longer aligned with our Soul’s passions. This is for our highest good -- individually and collectively.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I felt fully empowered from within and felt absolutely passionate about life, what would I go about “building”? What would be truly meaningful to my Soul in the long run?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon aligns with Uranus in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> -- </i><i>and this is also part of a square with Pluto and Mars in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>. This underlines the message that we are ready to take the next big step on our path. Uranus symbolizes the desire for freedom, equality, and (most of all) progress.\r\n\r\nIt takes courage to leave familiar territory.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span><b>Ask yourself:</b> What is the next step on my journey toward becoming an ever-stronger, healthy individual, one who knows themselves, and is not afraid to go after their personal goals and desires? What if it were possible to accomplish that whilst staying focused on my long-term achievements?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> What might that look like?</span>\r\n\r\n<i>This alignment between Uranus and the New Moon</i> asks us to break away from anything keeping us from stepping up our game -- whatever keeps us in a rut.\r\n\r\nShifts are happening everywhere. It\'s time to develop some courage and awareness: Where do you want to step up? Where do you want to break out? If you made a big leap, where would you most like to land? Could you surprise yourself once a day, for the next 28 days?\r\n\r\n<i>Pluto is also stationing -- </i>and thus exalted -- bringing extra intensity to this process. Pluto shows us where we give our power away to others and where we abuse it ourselves. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What structures no longer empower me? What am I most aware of right now? If I\'m honest, what will almost inevitably break down over the long haul, simply because it is no longer sustainable?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury has been retrograde for the past three weeks, </i>guiding us to reevaluate our thinking about personal goals and how we want to move things forward. Mercury\'s retrograde directed us to deal with unfinished business around past or present dealings, <i>to acknowledge what we learned, be thankful for the growth we experienced, and move forward.</i>\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> is all about “Beginner’s Mind” -- open, eager, willing to be surprised. The fewer preconceptions we have, the more possibilities we see, the path widens as we walk it. The aspect also reminds us that communication starts within our own minds -- our inner dialog is the seed for all outer communication.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury will be moving direct on the day of the New Moon</i>, giving the green light to anything that was in a holding pattern for the past 3-6 weeks. That said, anything developed from scratch (or that first came to light) during the retrograde phase is best left on \"pause\", until the shadow phase ends on May 3rd.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe are also cautioned not to be hasty, as <i>Mercury still squares Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>; the message here is \"take it steady\". <b>Ask yourself:</b> What benefits might I reap from taking it one step at a time?\r\n\r\nWe\'ll be dealing with a lot of Stations this month: Mercury, Saturn, Pluto. Keep in mind that these station phases create awareness. When preparing to go retrograde, they in turn prepare us to gain inner clarity and connect to the energies from within (i.e., more intuitively). In this case, that would apply to Saturn and Pluto.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, when going direct, after a retrograde phase, a station prepares us to move forward (in this instance, that applies to Mercury.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>On April 17th,</strong> <em>Saturn goes into its yearly retrograde, this time at 9º <strong>Capricorn.</strong></em> It will turn direct on Sept. 6th at 2.5º, and get back to that starting point of 9º Capricorn on December 12th.\r\n\r\nSaturn in Capricorn exposes the consequences of our long-term ambitions.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>Saturn always calls us to become our own authority, our own judge of what is right, true, and useful long-term. This can be very different from what society, other authority figures, or our country tells us.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWhile I\'m on the subject: the Saturn and Pluto Retrogrades were covered in considerable detail in the last Monthly Forecasting Forum -- and if you want to know how this planetary movement might impact you personally, feel free to purchase the video of the last webinar -- we applied the Pluto and Saturn Retrograde phases to our own birth charts! <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">Click here for more info or to purchase the recording</a>\r\n\r\nThere is also a <b>Special</b> <strong>Offer</strong> linked to that recording<b>:</b> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for the next Forum</a> <b>by April 17th</b>, I will include that Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar for FREE ;-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<em>During the upcoming Retrograde phases,</em> it may be advisable for us to keep the focus more on ourselves, and check in frequently with our inner compass. We also get a chance to see what works (and what doesn\'t) in certain areas of our lives; we can take stock, and look to see what needs a do-over (or at least a reassessment).\r\n\r\nLast but not least, we have <i>Chiron in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> -- this is the last degree of the sign and the aspect is  therefore exalted. We are approaching the end of 7 years of Chiron in Pisces!\r\n\r\nThink back over those last 7 years and <strong>ask yourself:</strong> What have I learned about my relationship to my higher Self/intuition? What have I learned about the emotional body? About the energetic body? What do I know about my inner healing process that I didn\'t know before 2011?\r\n\r\n<i>Chiron will move into </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> </i><b>on April 17th</b> -- the same day that Saturn comes to a halt -- and will remain in this enthusiastic sign until the end of September.\r\n\r\nWe will go over this upcoming shift in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how Chiron\'s journey through Aries, (and Uranus\'s journey through Taurus) will impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. The next Forum will be on <b>Monday, April 30th</b> at 3pm EDT/8pm BST (London-time); <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">for more info or to register, click here</a>\r\n\r\n<b>And of course, there\'s that Special Offer, I mentioned already:</b> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> <b>by April 17th</b>, you will also get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs a reminder to <strong>Star </strong>or<strong> SuperStar members:</strong> you will be automatically signed up for the Forum and will receive a link via email to join the live webinar and also for the video presentation.

Here are some more questions you can <b>ask yourself for the next two to four weeks:</b> What is my vision? What do I want to create now? What needs to change to make this happen?\r\n\r\nThe highest expression of the <b>Aries</b> energy is expressed when we lead others by example and inspiration -- they follow because they see our courage, our enthusiasm for life, and they want to be a part of that. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What if dared to lead responsibly and with integrity? What if I were the one who inspires others and makes a difference? What is the smallest difference I could make? What is the largest?\r\n\r\nDo your best to tap into the very core of your being — your vision, your purpose — and don\'t be fooled: it is an essential part of the collective journey. Be an agent of change! Have the courage to step up and step out!\r\nTo quote Hillel: “If not you, then who? If not now, when?”\r\n\r\n<b>Some bonus questions you can ask yourself for the next 2 weeks:</b> What do I see that needs changing? What do I feel most passionate about? Where do I need to take a stand? What if I approached things with 5% more maturity? What is the outcome that serves long-term? <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> As best as you can, commit to something larger than yourself. Listen to your inner voice and bring your passionate Self to the world. Remember that each of us makes this journey in our own way, in our own time, so focus on yourself -- <em>your</em> path, <em>your</em> truth -- rather than on what lies beyond your control.\r\n\r\nSpring is an excellent time to do a cleanse on all levels.<b> Ask yourself:</b> What changes have already been in the back of my mind for months now? What first step looks inviting?\r\n\r\nRemember, the ultimate goal of this New Moon is to tap into our inner warrior — a mature warrior that generates and protects, rather than the shadow warrior who exploits and destroys -- who is courageous, rather than combative, assertive rather than aggressive.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">To learn more about this month\'s New Moon, please click here to watch my video. </a>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 24-28 degrees of either </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>?

Mercury follows suit, beginning its own Station phase on Tuesday, that in turn intensifies on Friday (it will come to a complete halt -- ending it\'s retrograde phase -- on Sunday morning).\r\n\r\nIn other news, the Balsamic Moon phase becomes exact on Thursday evening, and the New Moon in Aries becomes exact on Sunday, late in the evening.\r\n\r\nAnd of course, the week wouldn\'t be complete without some <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases -- though there are only two this week: the first on Wednesday, late in the morning (it lasts for almost 4 hours) and a longer one that starts Friday morning and runs for almost 16 hours.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (April 9th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><strong>Capricorn</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 2:50am EDT. </strong><strong>At that point</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <b><strong>until Wednesday afternoon</strong>. </b>The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Monday</strong>, <b> </b><i>Saturn slows down (stations) in 9 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i> <i>\"Stationing\" is when a planet </i>moves more slowly through the sky. When a planet stations, its energy becomes more \"exalted\"; in the case of Saturn, this means we all feel the need to more fully face what is currently so, our actual reality.\r\n\r\nSaturn has to do with doing what needs to be done -- so we can fully understand the practical implications of our reality, and the consequences of our past actions. Saturn also represents our structures, responsibilities, commitments and ability to \"do\" life, on life\'s terms.\r\n\r\nAs spirit beings in a physical world, it\'s best to observe the laws of the physical world. The sooner we learn to \"play by the rules\", the easier life gets. Saturn also represents time and the \"domain\" of time: growing up, maturing, understanding our limitations, setting healthy boundaries with others, living with integrity, being authentic and truthful, being serious and focused on building something of value to society.\r\n\r\nSaturn is our teacher. If you had a cosmic teacher, what would your personal \"earth class\" be in, right now? Where are you being asked to look at your long-term goals and ambitons and became more mature? What calls for a commitment towards building a solid foundation? What will time do?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during the time of the station, bring flexibility and open-mindedness to any frustrations. The station-phase will last <b>until April 24th</b> -- and Saturn will start its 5-month retrograde phase, next week Tuesday, on April 17th…\r\n\r\nFeel free to watch our mp4 video presentation about April\'s Saturn and Pluto Station and Retrograde phases in relationship to our own Birth charts...To purchase this webinar, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">click here. </a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Special Offer:</strong> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-) <b>Please note </b>that we will be talking about Chiron moving into Aries and Uranus moving into Taurus, in our next Forum.

If so, you will be more affected by this station. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>, since Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (April 10th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <strong>all day</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday night/</strong>Wednesday very early morning, <em>a challenging Sun/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:54am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening (April 7th) on; it will remain strong until this Friday night (April 13th)</strong>. What we identify ourselves with could now be challenged. This aspect forces us to confront our will, power, assertion, and authority.\r\n\r\nComing into focus now: the relationship with a father- or other important male-figures. We may face the need to be more independent, assertive, and autonomous.\r\n\r\nWe may alienate others with a controlling, jealous, or overbearing manner. This manner stems from a deep fear of letting go and surrendering to the idea that some things cannot be directed or controlled. We are learning to detach from (let go of) something or someone that no longer serves us -- the \"something\" could include attitudes.\r\n\r\nThis fear may lead us to compulsive, suspicious, or difficult behavior, costing us the very thing that we hold dear. As best as you can, open yourself up to the power of love within. When you do, you will discover your own strength, and rework your very identity. Perhaps most importantly, this aspect puts us face to face with <i>exactly</i> what\'s been holding us back from leading a fuller, more meaningful life.\r\n\r\nWe may have to make some changes or adjustments between our immediate personal desires and our long-term goals. As best as you can, be open to receiving feedback from others during this time.\r\n\r\nIf you feel pressured into doing something or you feel a power struggle build, as best as you can, get centered, get grounded and open your heart and mind. This aspect is a major growth opportunity for us: we struggle with buried elements of our personality and ego, learning to face, accept and transform them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra,  </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (the Sun is the ruler of Leo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso <strong>on Tuesday</strong>, <i>Mercury starts to slow down again (“stationing”).</i><i> </i>It’s getting ready to come to a halt, ending its 3.5-week retrograde phase, on Sunday, April 15th (more on that later this week…). For the next 10 days (<strong>until April 20th</strong><b>)</b>, we need to be patient with ourselves and others -- especially if there is a connection with communication or transportation, and their associated technologies. This is not the best time to start anything brand-new, especially if it contains new information that needs to be processed.\r\n\r\nWe might experience delays or misunderstandings, and things tend to feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time to get ready for travel somewhere -- especially if you intend to use public transportation or drive (For more details on Mercury Shadow Phases and Retrogrades, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">click here</a>)\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets (or angles) <em>in 4-6 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong>, <b>Libra</b>, </em></i><b><i>Capricorn, </i></b><i>or</i><i> </i><b><i>Cancer.</i></b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (April 11th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <strong>until 2:40pm EDT</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:03am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Friday evening (April 6th) on; it will remain strong until this Sunday.</strong> We tend to feel passionate, super-creative, and just plain energized at this time -- we have tons of vitality and warmth.\r\n\r\nThis helps us bring people together for mutual pleasure and benefit; there is also a feeling of flow around creativity and manifesting something real... If you knew it would be easy, what would you pick to create?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of <b>Taurus,</b></i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?</i><i> If so, you may feel more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars rules Aries) </i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday morning</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Sun/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 8:15am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday night</strong>. This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed if we’re to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\nThis aspect brings us to a fork in the road: One path takes us toward personal goals and helps us inspire others by being direct and enthusiastic. The other leads to greater understanding of intimacy, and of how we share our resources with others.\r\n\r\nThere\'s not necessarily a \"correct path\", as both can lead to a deeper exploration of the themes in question. Whichever one you decide to walk, go deeper rather than faster -- empower yourself and others by connecting in an authentic way, being honest about your motivations.\r\n\r\nOne more thing: as best as you can, carefully evaluate any projects before getting involved -- awareness is key with this aspect. Ask yourself: What is needed? How can we serve the broader view?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 22-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules of Leo; Jupiter rules Sagittarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 10:55am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 4 hours, <strong>until 2:40pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday late morning and early afternoon ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon sextiles Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 2:40pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces, </i></b>where it will journey <strong>until Friday late evening</strong>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (April 12th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <strong>all day</strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:26pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday night</strong>. This is an opportunity for compassion and kindness in our social interactions. We are more attuned to the subtleties of human interaction, and are more inclined to naturally cooperate with others. We tend to \"feel\" each other on an energetic level now; a sensitive approach is recommended.\r\n\r\nWe also have an opportunity to connect to our values and gifts from intuition, and use our imagination to attract what we want: When you daydream, what would you like to experience? How would it feel?\r\n\r\nRemember: opportunities are openings; they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 13-17 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune rules Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday evening,</strong> <em>the Balsamic Moon phase begins</em> -- when the Moon reaches 11 degrees of <strong>Pisces.</strong><i> </i>This lasts <b>until Sunday late evening</b>, when the New Moon in <b>Aries </b>becomes exact (for those of you who are impatiently waiting for my New Moon video, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here</a> after April 10th). We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our intuition.\r\n\r\nFor some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes. This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (April 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <strong>until 11:25pm EDT</strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 7:27am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 16 hours, <strong>until 11:25pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to explore any beliefs connected to past experiences that left you feeling disempowered: How could a compassionate approach to the past allow for a new perspective?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday all day and evening ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon trines Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 11:25pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries,</i></b> where it will journey <strong>until Monday very early morning (April 16th)</strong>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<b> </b>\r\n\r\nAlso<strong> on Friday, </strong><em>Mercury Station intensifies in almost 5 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> -- as Mercury is preparing to come to halt on Sunday (ending its 3.5-week retrograde phase). During the station phase, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments once Mercury is moving direct again (to be more precise, during the shadow phase that follows).\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned on Tuesday already,<strong> for the next 6 days</strong>, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait <strong>until after May 3rd</strong>, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 3-6 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (April 14th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b>Aries</b></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Friday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday early morning</strong>, <em>a long-term, opportune Jupiter/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:58am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday (March 19th) on; it will remain strong until Tuesday (May 1st)</strong>. This is second time this year we will experience this aspect -- think back to January, when it last occurred: In what ways were you able to deepen your relationships, business and personal alike?\r\n\r\nA positive attitude and deeper trust in our connections with others gives us the chance to build something meaningful and share our passions. We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support professional or personal goals.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Where could I really dig in to solve a problem? How might passion help deliver on my long-term goals? How could other people\'s resources support my ability to create transformation? How might they help me stand in my power?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>?

This is also an opportunity for boundaries to dissolve -- to open and relax.\r\n\r\nCreative or spiritual activities might be a good fit with this planetary connection. We may feel the need to daydream or inspire others. What might it mean, to take \"inspired action\"? What might show up in the world? What if you allowed the Universe to co-create with you?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <span style=\"color: #808080;\">13-17 degrees</span> of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Pisces,  Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>?

What will time do?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during the time of the station, bring flexibility and open-mindedness to any frustrations. The station-phase will feel most intense until <b>until April 20th, </b>but altogether, it will run <b>until April 24th</b> -- and Saturn will start its 5-month retrograde phase, next week Tuesday (<b>on April 17th)</b>… more on that next week ;-)\r\n\r\nFeel free to watch our mp4 video presentation about April\'s Saturn and Pluto Station and Retrograde phases in relationship to our own Birth charts...To purchase this webinar, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">click here. </a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Special Offer:</strong> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-) <b>Please note </b>that we will be talking about Chiron moving into Aries and Uranus moving into Taurus, in our next Forum. Major shifts ahead!\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 7-11 degrees of </i><b><i> Capricorn, Cancer, Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this station. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>, since Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (April 15th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b>Aries</b></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Friday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 5:21am EDT</strong>, <i>Mercury comes to a halt in almost 5 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries </i></b>and <i>slowly starts its direct motion</i><i>, </i>after its 3.5-week retrograde phase<i>.</i> As best as you can, go with the flow, keep an open mind and pay attention to anything that is in your face right now -- you may need to address those issues again, when Mercury moves through its shadow phase…more on that later.\r\n\r\nWe are slowly ready to shift our focus back towards the outer world again, taking in new information and sharing from a new perspective. What did you learn about your inner dialog over the past 3 weeks? How can you share your newly found inner understanding in a healthy way with the world? What needs to be addressed regarding your personal goals and desires? With a direct and passionate way of approaching communications? With any new-found understanding of your own thinking structures?\r\n\r\nWhen Mercury gets back to its regular speed (<b>by April 20th</b>), communication and transportation will get back to normal; the same is true of any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets (or angles) in 3-6 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Libra.</i></b>\r\n\r\nAs you may recall, I mentioned <i>Mercury shadow phases</i> on Tuesday: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it\'s best to avoid the periods shortly before and after Mercury goes retrograde. This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) This particular <b>shadow phase ends on May 3rd</b>. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">Click here to read my blog on the subject</a>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening, at 9:57pm EDT:</strong> the <em>Moon aligns with the Sun in 26 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em>. This is the beginning of a new Moon cycle; anything brand-new started in the next two weeks has the chance to get off to a great start. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">Also feel free to watch my New Moon video on the subject</a> (will be posted by April 10th)\r\n\r\nThe <i>New Moon in fast-paced, enthusiastic, courageous </i><b><i>Aries</i></b>, asks us to connect to our personal goals and get very clear on what we want to create for the next 28 days. This is an action-packed energy, with the focus on ourselves -- we tend to do first and think later -- we have a tremendous amount of energy and want to sprint.\r\n\r\nAries is the first sign of the zodiac, and thus represents new beginnings, initiation, breaking new ground and birthing new forms. An <em>Aries New Moon</em> is thus an especially fertile time for seeding new projects and directions.\r\n\r\nWe generally don\'t know what will happen when we start something brand-new -- something we have never done before -- and this can bring up insecurities and nervousness, sometimes maybe even plain fear or even panic.\r\n\r\nAries and its ruling planet Mars correspond with the quest to develop courage -- not fearlessness, but the conscious choice to act in spite of fear. Some call this the \"Warrior Energy\".\r\n\r\nOne of the many ways we can demonstrate courage is allow ourselves to be in a state of \"not knowing\" or \"beginners mind\". At these times, we are more present, and sometimes a state of heightened creative potential arises. <b>Ask yourself: </b>What might come forth if I suspended my opinions, beliefs, judgments and concepts, just for a moment, here and there? Could I be brave enough to take a rest from needing to know, just for right now?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars is the ruler of Aries; it\'s currently in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, sextiling Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>.</i> This aspect asks us to create a solid relationship with our long-term ambitions, while allowing for our inner divinity (Source/God) to guide us toward what feels intuitively right to us, so we can go after it, and manifest it.\r\n\r\nIt also bears a cosmic message about relating to our long-term goals in a loving, kind manner -- softening our approach perhaps, releasing rigid \"shoulds\" and any obligations not aligned with our highest calling.\r\n\r\nIn the same spirit, we are also asked to slow down and focus on quality over quantity, sustainability over novelty, ease over force. <b>Questions you can ask yourself here:</b> What structures might support my emotional/intuitive well-being? What actions would connect my ambitious self to my \"soul-self\"?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars also aligns with Pluto and Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>. This combo brings our long-term business dealings into deep and sharp focus, especially when it comes to manifesting something real (tangible, sustainable, meaningful, etc.)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nFurther, anything dysfunctional within our businesses, governments or long-term goals invites investigation. We are being asked to eliminate or transform anything no longer aligned with our Soul’s passions. This is for our highest good -- individually and collectively.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I felt fully empowered from within and felt absolutely passionate about life, what would I go about “building”? What would be truly meaningful to my Soul in the long run?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon aligns with Uranus in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> -- </i><i>and this is also part of a square with Pluto and Mars in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>. This underlines the message that we are ready to take the next big step on our path. Uranus symbolizes the desire for freedom, equality, and (most of all) progress.\r\n\r\nIt takes courage to leave familiar territory.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span><b>Ask yourself:</b> What is the next step on my journey toward becoming an ever-stronger, healthy individual, one who knows themselves, and is not afraid to go after their personal goals and desires? What if it were possible to accomplish that whilst staying focused on my long-term achievements?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> What might that look like?</span>\r\n\r\n<i>This alignment between Uranus and the New Moon</i> asks us to break away from anything keeping us from stepping up our game -- whatever keeps us in a rut.\r\n\r\nShifts are happening everywhere. It\'s time to develop some courage and awareness: Where do you want to step up? Where do you want to break out? If you made a big leap, where would you most like to land? Could you surprise yourself once a day, for the next 28 days?\r\n\r\n<i>Pluto is also stationing -- </i>and thus exalted -- bringing extra intensity to this process. Pluto shows us where we give our power away to others and where we abuse it ourselves. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What structures no longer empower me? What am I most aware of right now? If I\'m honest, what will almost inevitably break down over the long haul, simply because it is no longer sustainable?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury has been retrograde for the past three weeks, </i>guiding us to reevaluate our thinking about personal goals and how we want to move things forward. Mercury\'s retrograde directed us to deal with unfinished business around past or present dealings, <i>to acknowledge what we learned, be thankful for the growth we experienced, and move forward.</i>\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> is all about “Beginner’s Mind” -- open, eager, willing to be surprised. The fewer preconceptions we have, the more possibilities we see, the path widens as we walk it. The aspect also reminds us that communication starts within our own minds -- our inner dialog is the seed for all outer communication.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury will be moving direct on the day of the New Moon</i>, giving the green light to anything that was in a holding pattern for the past 3-6 weeks. That said, anything developed from scratch (or that first came to light) during the retrograde phase is best left on \"pause\", until the shadow phase ends on May 3rd.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe are also cautioned not to be hasty, as <i>Mercury still squares Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>; the message here is \"take it steady\". <b>Ask yourself:</b> What benefits might I reap from taking it one step at a time?\r\n\r\nWe\'ll be dealing with a lot of Stations this month: Mercury, Saturn, Pluto. Keep in mind that these station phases create awareness. When preparing to go retrograde, they in turn prepare us to gain inner clarity and connect to the energies from within (i.e., more intuitively). In this case, that would apply to Saturn and Pluto.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, when going direct, after a retrograde phase, a station prepares us to move forward (in this instance, that applies to Mercury.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>On April 17th,</strong> <em>Saturn goes into its yearly retrograde, this time at 9º <strong>Capricorn.</strong></em> It will turn direct on Sept. 6th at 2.5º, and get back to that starting point of 9º Capricorn on December 12th.\r\n\r\nSaturn in Capricorn exposes the consequences of our long-term ambitions.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>Saturn always calls us to become our own authority, our own judge of what is right, true, and useful long-term. This can be very different from what society, other authority figures, or our country tells us.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWhile I\'m on the subject: the Saturn and Pluto Retrogrades were covered in considerable detail in the last Monthly Forecasting Forum -- and if you want to know how this planetary movement might impact you personally, feel free to purchase the video of the last webinar -- we applied the Pluto and Saturn Retrograde phases to our own birth charts! <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">Click here for more info or to purchase the recording</a>\r\n\r\nThere is also a <b>Special</b> <strong>Offer</strong> linked to that recording<b>:</b> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for the next Forum</a> <b>by April 17th</b>, I will include that Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar for FREE ;-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<em>During the upcoming Retrograde phases,</em> it may be advisable for us to keep the focus more on ourselves, and check in frequently with our inner compass. We also get a chance to see what works (and what doesn\'t) in certain areas of our lives; we can take stock, and look to see what needs a do-over (or at least a reassessment).\r\n\r\nLast but not least, we have <i>Chiron in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> -- this is the last degree of the sign and the aspect is  therefore exalted. We are approaching the end of 7 years of Chiron in Pisces!\r\n\r\nThink back over those last 7 years and <strong>ask yourself:</strong> What have I learned about my relationship to my higher Self/intuition? What have I learned about the emotional body? About the energetic body? What do I know about my inner healing process that I didn\'t know before 2011?\r\n\r\n<i>Chiron will move into </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> </i><b>on April 17th</b> -- the same day that Saturn comes to a halt -- and will remain in this enthusiastic sign until the end of September.\r\n\r\nWe will go over this upcoming shift in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how Chiron\'s journey through Aries, (and Uranus\'s journey through Taurus) will impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. The next Forum will be on <b>Monday, April 30th</b> at 3pm EDT/8pm BST (London-time); <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">for more info or to register, click here</a>\r\n\r\n<b>And of course, there\'s that Special Offer, I mentioned already:</b> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> <b>by April 17th</b>, you will also get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs a reminder to <strong>Star </strong>or<strong> SuperStar members:</strong> you will be automatically signed up for the Forum and will receive a link via email to join the live webinar and also for the video presentation. Watch out for those emails (and check your junk mail, if you don\'t see it in your inbox ;-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAlright, let\'s turn our attention back to this <i>New Moon: </i> we are helped to go beyond the familiar, the comfortable, the customary. Here are some more questions you can <b>ask yourself for the next two to four weeks:</b> What is my vision? What do I want to create now? What needs to change to make this happen?\r\n\r\nThe highest expression of the <b>Aries</b> energy is expressed when we lead others by example and inspiration -- they follow because they see our courage, our enthusiasm for life, and they want to be a part of that. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What if dared to lead responsibly and with integrity? What if I were the one who inspires others and makes a difference? What is the smallest difference I could make? What is the largest?\r\n\r\nDo your best to tap into the very core of your being — your vision, your purpose — and don\'t be fooled: it is an essential part of the collective journey. Be an agent of change! Have the courage to step up and step out!\r\nTo quote Hillel: “If not you, then who? If not now, when?”\r\n\r\n<b>Some bonus questions you can ask yourself for the next 2 weeks:</b> What do I see that needs changing? What do I feel most passionate about? Where do I need to take a stand? What if I approached things with 5% more maturity? What is the outcome that serves long-term? <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> As best as you can, commit to something larger than yourself. Listen to your inner voice and bring your passionate Self to the world. Remember that each of us makes this journey in our own way, in our own time, so focus on yourself -- <em>your</em> path, <em>your</em> truth -- rather than on what lies beyond your control.\r\n\r\nSpring is an excellent time to do a cleanse on all levels.<b> Ask yourself:</b> What changes have already been in the back of my mind for months now? What first step looks inviting?\r\n\r\nRemember, the ultimate goal of this New Moon is to tap into our inner warrior — a mature warrior that generates and protects, rather than the shadow warrior who exploits and destroys -- who is courageous, rather than combative, assertive rather than aggressive.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">To learn more about this month\'s New Moon, please click here to watch my video. </a>(will be posted by April 10th)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 24-28 degrees of either </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>?

Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <i>not</i> during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase.\r\n\r\nSo this month, we have two periods that are great<i> times to set intentions:</i> the first one is the roughly four hours that lie between <b>9:57pm Sunday late evening (April 15th) </b>and<b> 1:59am Monday very early morning (April 16th).</b>\r\n\r\nIf you aren’t able to set intentions during that time period, wait a few hours, and do so between <b>4:51am on Monday and 6:05pm EDT, Tuesday April 17th. </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more info on setting New Moon Intentions click here</a><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<b>Here’s a few bonus questions:</b> Where could I have “beginner’s mind”?

Mercury follows suit, beginning its own Station phase on Tuesday, that in turn intensifies on Friday (it will come to a complete halt -- ending it\'s retrograde phase -- on Sunday morning).\n\nIn other news, the Balsamic Moon phase becomes exact on Thursday evening, and the New Moon in Aries becomes exact on Sunday, late in the evening.\n\nAnd of course, the week wouldn\'t be complete without some <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases -- though there are only two this week: the first on Wednesday, late in the morning (it lasts for almost 4 hours) and a longer one that starts Friday morning and runs for almost 16 hours.\n\n<strong>Monday (April 9th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><strong>Capricorn</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 2:50am EDT. </strong><strong>At that point</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <b><strong>until Wednesday afternoon</strong>. </b>The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\n\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\n\n<strong>Also on Monday</strong>, <b> </b><i>Saturn slows down (stations) in 9 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i> <i>\"Stationing\" is when a planet </i>moves more slowly through the sky. When a planet stations, its energy becomes...\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\n<strong> GET IT ALL!

Saturn also represents our structures, responsibilities, commitments and ability to \"do\" life, on life\'s terms.\n\nAs spirit beings in a physical world, it\'s best to observe the laws of the physical world. The sooner we learn to \"play by the rules\", the easier life gets. Saturn also represents time and the \"domain\" of time: growing up, maturing, understanding our limitations, setting healthy boundaries with others, living with integrity, being authentic and truthful, being serious and focused on building something of value to society.\n\nSaturn is our teacher. If you had a cosmic teacher, what would your personal \"earth class\" be in, right now? Where are you being asked to look at your long-term goals and ambitons and became more mature? What calls for a commitment towards building a solid foundation?

If so, you will be more affected by this station. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>, since Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn.</i>\n\n<strong>Tuesday (April 10th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <strong>all day</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\n\n<strong>Tuesday night/</strong>Wednesday very early morning, <em>a challenging Sun/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:54am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening (April 7th) on; it will remain strong until this Friday night (April 13th)</strong>. What we identify ourselves with could now be challenged. This aspect forces us to confront our will, power, assertion, and authority.\n\nComing into focus now: the relationship with a father- or other important male-figures. We may face the need to be more independent, assertive, and autonomous.\n\nWe may alienate others with a controlling, jealous, or overbearing manner. This manner stems from a deep fear of letting go and surrendering to the idea that some things cannot be directed or controlled. We are learning to detach from (let go of) something or someone that no longer serves us -- the \"something\" could include attitudes.\n\nThis fear may lead us to compulsive, suspicious, or difficult behavior, costing us the very thing that we hold dear. As best as you can, open yourself up to the power of love within. When you do, you will discover your own strength, and rework your very identity. Perhaps most importantly, this aspect puts us face to face with <i>exactly</i> what\'s been holding us back from leading a fuller, more meaningful life.\n\nWe may have to make some changes or adjustments between our immediate personal desires and our long-term goals. As best as you can, be open to receiving feedback from others during this time.\n\nIf you feel pressured into doing something or you feel a power struggle build, as best as you can, get centered, get grounded and open your heart and mind. This aspect is a major growth opportunity for us: we struggle with buried elements of our personality and ego, learning to face, accept and transform them.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra,  </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (the Sun is the ruler of Leo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\n\nAlso <strong>on Tuesday</strong>, <i>Mercury starts to slow down again (“stationing”).</i><i> </i>It’s getting ready to come to a halt, ending its 3.5-week retrograde phase, on Sunday, April 15th (more on that later this week…). For the next 10 days (<strong>until April 20th</strong><b>)</b>, we need to be patient with ourselves and others -- especially if there is a connection with communication or transportation, and their associated technologies. This is not the best time to start anything brand-new, especially if it contains new information that needs to be processed.\n\nWe might experience delays or misunderstandings, and things tend to feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time to get ready for travel somewhere -- especially if you intend to use public transportation or drive (For more details on Mercury Shadow Phases and Retrogrades, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">click here</a>)\n\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets (or angles) <em>in 4-6 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong>, <b>Libra</b>, </em></i><b><i>Capricorn, </i></b><i>or</i><i> </i><b><i>Cancer.</i></b>\n\n<strong>Wednesday (April 11th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <strong>until 2:40pm EDT</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\n\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:03am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Friday evening (April 6th) on; it will remain strong until this Sunday.</strong> We tend to feel passionate, super-creative, and just plain energized at this time -- we have tons of vitality and warmth.\n\nThis helps us bring people together for mutual pleasure and benefit; there is also a feeling of flow around creativity and manifesting something real... If you knew it would be easy, what would you pick to create?\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of <b>Taurus,</b></i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?</i><i> If so, you may feel more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars rules Aries) </i>\n\n<strong>Wednesday morning</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Sun/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 8:15am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday night on; it will remain strong until Wednesday night/Thursday very early </strong><b>morning</b>. This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed if we’re to see what needs adjusting.\n\nThis aspect brings us to a fork in the road: One path takes us toward personal goals and helps us inspire others by being direct and enthusiastic. The other leads to greater understanding of intimacy, and of how we share our resources with others.\n\nThere\'s not necessarily a \"correct path\", as both can lead to a deeper exploration of the themes in question. Whichever one you decide to walk, go deeper rather than faster -- empower yourself and others by connecting in an authentic way, being honest about your motivations.\n\nOne more thing: as best as you can, carefully evaluate any projects before getting involved -- awareness is key with this aspect. Ask yourself: What is needed? How can we serve the broader view?\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 22-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>?

You may also want to plan Wednesday late morning and early afternoon ahead of time :-)\n\n<strong>Wednesday at 2:40pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces, </i></b>where it will journey <strong>until Friday late evening</strong>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\n\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\n\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\n\n<strong>Thursday (April 12th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <strong>all day</strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).\n\n<strong>Thursday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:26pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday night</strong>. This is an opportunity for compassion and kindness in our social interactions. We are more attuned to the subtleties of human interaction, and are more inclined to naturally cooperate with others. We tend to \"feel\" each other on an energetic level now; a sensitive approach is recommended.\n\nWe also have an opportunity to connect to our values and gifts from intuition, and use our imagination to attract what we want: When you daydream, what would you like to experience? How would it feel?\n\nRemember: opportunities are openings; they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 13-17 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune rules Pisces).</i>\n\n<strong>Thursday evening,</strong> <em>the Balsamic Moon phase begins</em> -- when the Moon reaches 11 degrees of <strong>Pisces.</strong><i> </i>This lasts <b>until Sunday late evening</b>, when the New Moon in <b>Aries </b>becomes exact (for those of you who are impatiently waiting for my New Moon video, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here</a>). We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our intuition.\n\nFor some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes. This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?\n\n<strong>Friday (April 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <strong>until 11:25pm EDT</strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).\n\n<strong>Friday at 7:27am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 16 hours, <strong>until 11:25pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to explore any beliefs connected to past experiences that left you feeling disempowered: How could a compassionate approach to the past allow for a new perspective?\n\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday all day and evening ahead of time :-)\n\n<strong>Friday at 11:25pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries,</i></b> where it will journey <strong>until Monday very early morning (April 16th)</strong>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\n\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<b> </b>\n\nAlso<strong> on Friday, </strong><em>Mercury Station intensifies in almost 5 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> -- as Mercury is preparing to come to halt on Sunday (ending its 3.5-week retrograde phase). During the station phase, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\n\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments once Mercury is moving direct again (to be more precise, during the shadow phase that follows).\n\nAs I mentioned on Tuesday already,<strong> for the next 6 days</strong>, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\n\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait <strong>until after May 3rd</strong>, when the shadow phase is over.\n\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 3-6 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\n\n<strong>Saturday (April 14th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b>Aries</b></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Friday late evening for details).\n\n<strong>Saturday early morning</strong>, <em>a long-term, opportune Jupiter/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:58am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday (March 19th) on; it will remain strong until Tuesday (May 1st)</strong>. This is second time this year we will experience this aspect -- think back to January, when it last occurred: In what ways were you able to deepen your relationships, business and personal alike?\n\nA positive attitude and deeper trust in our connections with others gives us the chance to build something meaningful and share our passions. We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support professional or personal goals.\n\nAsk yourself: Where could I really dig in to solve a problem? How might passion help deliver on my long-term goals? How could other people\'s resources support my ability to create transformation? How might they help me stand in my power?\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>?

This is also an opportunity for boundaries to dissolve -- to open and relax.\n\nCreative or spiritual activities might be a good fit with this planetary connection. We may feel the need to daydream or inspire others. What might it mean, to take \"inspired action\"? What might show up in the world? What if you allowed the Universe to co-create with you?\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <span style=\"color: #808080;\">13-17 degrees</span> of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Pisces,  Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>?

What will time do?\n\nAs best as you can during the time of the station, bring flexibility and open-mindedness to any frustrations. The station-phase will feel most intense until <b>until April 20th, </b>but altogether, it will run <b>until April 24th</b> -- and Saturn will start its 5-month retrograde phase, next week Tuesday (<b>on April 17th)</b>… more on that next week ;-)\n\nFeel free to watch our mp4 video presentation about April\'s Saturn and Pluto Station and Retrograde phases in relationship to our own Birth charts...To purchase this webinar, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">click here. </a>\n\n<strong>Special Offer:</strong> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-) <b>Please note</b> <strong>that we will be talking about Chiron moving into Aries and Uranus moving into Taurus, in our next Forum.</strong> Major shifts ahead!\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 7-11 degrees of </i><b><i> Capricorn, Cancer, Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>?

What did you learn about your inner dialog over the past 3 weeks? How can you share your newly found inner understanding in a healthy way with the world? What needs to be addressed regarding your personal goals and desires? With a direct and passionate way of approaching communications? With any new-found understanding of your own thinking structures?\n\nWhen Mercury gets back to its regular speed (<b>by April 20th</b>), communication and transportation will get back to normal; the same is true of any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc.\n\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets (or angles) in 3-6 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Libra.</i></b>\n\nAs you may recall, I mentioned <i>Mercury shadow phases</i> on Tuesday: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it\'s best to avoid the periods shortly before and after Mercury goes retrograde. This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) This particular <b>shadow phase ends on May 3rd</b>. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">Click here to read my blog on the subject</a>.\n\n<strong>Sunday late evening, at 9:57pm EDT:</strong> the <em>Moon aligns with the Sun in 26 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em>. This is the beginning of a new Moon cycle; anything brand-new started in the next two weeks has the chance to get off to a great start. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">Also feel free to watch my New Moon video on the subject</a>\n\nThe <i>New Moon in fast-paced, enthusiastic, courageous </i><b><i>Aries</i></b>, asks us to connect to our personal goals and to get very clear on what we want to create for the next 28 days. This is an action-packed energy, with the focus on ourselves -- we tend to do first and think later -- we have a tremendous amount of energy and want to sprint.\n\nAries is the first sign of the zodiac, and thus represents new beginnings, initiation, breaking new ground and birthing new forms. An <em>Aries New Moon</em> is thus an especially fertile time for seeding new projects and directions.\n\nWe generally don\'t know what will happen when we start something brand-new -- something we have never done before -- and this can bring up insecurities or nervousness, sometimes maybe even plain fear or even panic.\n\nAries and its ruling planet Mars correspond with the quest to develop courage -- not fearlessness, but the conscious choice to act in spite of fear. Some call this the \"Warrior Energy\".\n\nOne of the many ways we can demonstrate courage is to allow ourselves to be in a state of \"not knowing\" or \"beginners mind\". At these times, we are more present, and sometimes a state of heightened creative potential arises. <b>Ask yourself: </b>What might come forth if I suspended my opinions, beliefs, judgments and concepts, just for a moment, here and there? Could I be brave enough to take a rest from needing to know, just for right now?\n\n<i>Mars is the ruler of Aries; it\'s currently in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, sextiling Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>.</i> This aspect asks us to create a solid relationship with our long-term ambitions, while allowing for our inner divinity (Source/God) to guide us toward what feels intuitively right to us, so we can go after it, and manifest it.\n\nIt also bears a cosmic message about relating to our long-term goals in a loving, kind manner -- softening our approach perhaps, releasing rigid \"shoulds\" and any obligations not aligned with our highest calling.\n\nIn the same spirit, we are also asked to slow down and focus on quality over quantity, sustainability over novelty, ease over force. <b>Questions you can ask yourself here:</b> What structures might support my emotional/intuitive well-being? What actions would connect my ambitious self to my \"soul-self\"?\n\n<i>Mars also aligns with Pluto and Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>. This combo brings our long-term business dealings into deep and sharp focus, especially when it comes to manifesting something real (tangible, sustainable, meaningful, etc.)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\n\nFurther, anything dysfunctional within our businesses, governments or long-term goals invites investigation. We are being asked to eliminate or transform anything no longer aligned with our Soul’s passions. This is for our highest good -- individually and collectively.\n\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I felt fully empowered from within and felt absolutely passionate about life, what would I go about “building”? What would be truly meaningful to my Soul in the long run?\n\n<i>The New Moon aligns with Uranus in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> -- </i><i>and this is also part of a square with Pluto and Mars in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>. This underlines the message that we are ready to take the next big step on our path. Uranus symbolizes the desire for freedom, equality, and (most of all) progress.\n\nIt takes courage to leave familiar territory.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span><b>Ask yourself:</b> What is the next step on my journey toward becoming an ever-stronger, healthy individual, one who knows themselves, and is not afraid to go after their personal goals and desires? What if it were possible to accomplish that whilst staying focused on my long-term achievements?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> What might that look like?</span>\n\n<i>This alignment between Uranus and the New Moon</i> asks us to break away from anything keeping us from stepping up our game -- whatever keeps us in a rut.\n\nShifts are happening everywhere. It\'s time to develop some courage and awareness. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Where do I want to step up? Where do I want to break out? If I made a big leap, where would I most like to land? Could I surprise myself once a day, for the next 28 days?\n\n<i>Pluto is also stationing -- </i>and thus exalted -- bringing extra intensity to this process. Pluto shows us where we give our power away to others and where we abuse it ourselves. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What structures no longer empower me? What am I most aware of right now? If I\'m honest, what will almost inevitably break down over the long haul, simply because it is no longer sustainable?\n\n<i>Mercury has been retrograde for the past three weeks, </i>guiding us to reevaluate our thinking about personal goals and how we want to move things forward. Mercury\'s retrograde directed us to deal with unfinished business around past or present dealings, <i>to acknowledge what we learned, be thankful for the growth we experienced, and move forward.</i>\n\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> is all about “Beginner’s Mind” -- open, eager, willing to be surprised. The fewer preconceptions we have, the more possibilities we see, the path widens as we walk it. This placement also reminds us that communication starts within our own minds -- our inner dialog is the seed for all outer communication.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\n\n<i>Mercury will be moving direct on the day of the New Moon</i>, giving the green light to anything that was in a holding pattern for the past 3-6 weeks. That said, anything developed from scratch (or that first came to light) during the retrograde phase is best left on \"pause\", until the shadow phase ends on May 3rd.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\n\nWe are also cautioned not to be hasty, as <i>Mercury still squares Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>; the message here is \"take it steady\". <b>Ask yourself:</b> What benefits might I reap from taking it one step at a time? From not rushing things?\n\nWe\'ll be dealing with a lot of Stations this month: Mercury, Saturn, Pluto. Keep in mind that these station phases create awareness. When preparing to go retrograde, they in turn prepare us to gain inner clarity and connect to the energies from within (i.e., more intuitively). In this case, that would apply to Saturn and Pluto.\n\nOn the other hand, when going direct, after a retrograde phase, a station prepares us to move forward (in this instance, that applies to Mercury).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\n\n<strong>On April 17th,</strong> <em>Saturn goes into its yearly retrograde, this time at 9º <strong>Capricorn.</strong></em> It will turn direct on Sept. 6th at 2.5º, and get back to that starting point of 9º Capricorn on December 12th.\n\nSaturn in Capricorn exposes the consequences of our long-term ambitions.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>Saturn always calls us to become our own authority, our own judge of what is right, true, and useful long-term. This can be very different from what society, other authority figures, or our country tells us.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\n\nWhile I\'m on the subject: the Saturn and Pluto Retrogrades were covered in considerable detail in the last Monthly Forecasting Forum -- and if you want to know how this planetary movement might impact you personally, feel free to purchase the video of the last webinar -- we applied the Pluto and Saturn Retrograde phases to our own birth charts! <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">Click here for more info or to purchase the recording</a>\n\nThere is also a <b>Special</b> <strong>Offer</strong> linked to that recording<b>:</b> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for the next Forum</a> <b>by April 17th</b>, I will include that Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar for FREE ;-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\n\n<em>During the upcoming Retrograde phases,</em> it may be advisable for us to keep the focus more on ourselves, and check in frequently with our inner compass. We also get a chance to see what works (and what doesn\'t) in certain areas of our lives; we can take stock, and look to see what needs a do-over (or at least a reassessment).\n\nLast but not least, we have <i>Chiron in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> -- this is the last degree of the sign and the aspect is  therefore exalted. We are approaching the end of 7 years of Chiron in Pisces!\n\nThink back over those last 7 years and <strong>ask yourself:</strong> What have I learned about my relationship to my higher Self/intuition? What have I learned about the emotional body? About the energetic body? What do I know about my inner healing process that I didn\'t know before 2011?\n\n<i>Chiron will move into </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> </i><b>on April 17th</b> -- the same day that Saturn comes to a halt -- and will remain in this enthusiastic sign until the end of September.\n\nWe will go over this upcoming shift in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how <strong>Chiron\'s journey through Aries,</strong> (and <strong>Uranus\'s journey through Taurus</strong>) will impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. The next Forum will be on <b>Monday, April 30th</b> at 3pm EDT/8pm BST (London-time); <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">for more info or to register, click here</a>\n\n<b>And of course, there\'s that Special Offer, I mentioned already:</b> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> <b>by April 17th</b>, you will also get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\n\nAs a reminder to <strong>Star </strong>or<strong> SuperStar members:</strong> you will be automatically signed up for the Forum and will receive a link via email to join the live webinar and also for the video presentation. Watch out for those emails (and check your junk mail, if you don\'t see it in your inbox ;-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\n\nAlright, let\'s turn our attention back to this <i>New Moon: </i> we are being helped to go beyond the familiar, the comfortable, the customary. Here are some more questions you can <b>ask yourself for the next two to four weeks:</b> What is my vision? What do I want to create now? What needs to change to make this happen?\n\nThe highest expression of the <b>Aries</b> energy is expressed when we lead others by example and inspiration -- they follow because they see our courage, our enthusiasm for life, and they want to be a part of that. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What if I dared to lead responsibly and with integrity? What if I were the one who inspires others and makes a difference? What is the smallest difference I could make? What is the largest?\n\nDo your best to tap into the very core of your being — your vision, your purpose — and don\'t be fooled: it is an essential part of the collective journey. Be an agent of change! Have the courage to step up and step out! To quote the great jewish scholar, Hillel: “If not you, then who? If not now, when?”\n\n<b>Some bonus questions you can ask yourself for the next 2 weeks:</b> What do I see that needs changing? What do I feel most passionate about? Where do I need to take a stand? What if I approached things with 5% more maturity? What is the outcome that serves long-term? <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\n\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> As best as you can, commit to something larger than yourself. Listen to your inner voice and bring your passionate Self to the world. Remember that each of us makes this journey in our own way, in our own time, so focus on yourself -- <em>your</em> path, <em>your</em> truth -- rather than on what lies beyond your control.\n\nSpring is an excellent time to do a cleanse on all levels.<b> Ask yourself:</b> What changes have already been in the back of my mind for months now? What first step looks inviting?\n\nRemember, the ultimate goal of this New Moon is to tap into our inner warrior — a mature warrior that generates and protects, rather than the shadow warrior who exploits and destroys -- who is courageous, rather than combative, assertive rather than aggressive.\n\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">To learn more about this month\'s New Moon, please click here to watch my video. </a>\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 24-28 degrees of either </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>?

Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <i>not</i> during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase.\n\nSo this month, we have two periods that are great<i> times to set intentions:</i> the first one is the roughly four hours that lie between <b>9:57pm Sunday late evening (April 15th) </b>and<b> 1:59am Monday very early morning (April 16th).</b>\n\nIf you aren’t able to set intentions during that time period, wait a few hours, and do so between <b>4:51am on Monday and 6:05pm EDT, Tuesday April 17th. </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more info on setting New Moon Intentions click here</a><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\n\n<b>Here’s a few bonus questions:</b> Where could I have “beginner’s mind”?

Mercury follows suit, beginning its own Station phase on Tuesday, that in turn intensifies on Friday (it will come to a complete halt -- ending it\'s retrograde phase -- on Sunday morning).\r\n\r\nIn other news, the Balsamic Moon phase becomes exact on Thursday evening, and the New Moon in Aries becomes exact on Sunday, late in the evening.\r\n\r\nAnd of course, the week wouldn\'t be complete without some <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases -- though there are only two this week: the first on Wednesday, late in the morning (it lasts for almost 4 hours) and a longer one that starts Friday morning and runs for almost 16 hours.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (April 9th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><strong>Capricorn</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 2:50am EDT. </strong><strong>At that point</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <b><strong>until Wednesday afternoon</strong>. </b>The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Monday</strong>, <b> </b><i>Saturn slows down (stations) in 9 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i> <i>\"Stationing\" is when a planet </i>moves more slowly through the sky. When a planet stations, its energy becomes...\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\r\n<strong> GET IT ALL!

Saturn also represents our structures, responsibilities, commitments and ability to \"do\" life, on life\'s terms.\r\n\r\nAs spirit beings in a physical world, it\'s best to observe the laws of the physical world. The sooner we learn to \"play by the rules\", the easier life gets. Saturn also represents time and the \"domain\" of time: growing up, maturing, understanding our limitations, setting healthy boundaries with others, living with integrity, being authentic and truthful, being serious and focused on building something of value to society.\r\n\r\nSaturn is our teacher. If you had a cosmic teacher, what would your personal \"earth class\" be in, right now? Where are you being asked to look at your long-term goals and ambitons and became more mature? What calls for a commitment towards building a solid foundation? What will time do?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during the time of the station, bring flexibility and open-mindedness to any frustrations. The station-phase will last <b>until April 24th</b> -- and Saturn will start its 5-month retrograde phase, next week Tuesday, on April 17th…\r\n\r\nFeel free to watch our mp4 video presentation about April\'s Saturn and Pluto Station and Retrograde phases in relationship to our own Birth charts...To purchase this webinar, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">click here. </a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Special Offer:</strong> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-) <b>Please note </b>that we will be talking about Chiron moving into Aries and Uranus moving into Taurus, in our next Forum. Major shifts ahead!\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in </i><b><i>7-11 degrees of  Capricorn, Cancer, Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this station. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>, since Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (April 10th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <strong>all day</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday night/</strong>Wednesday very early morning, <em>a challenging Sun/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:54am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening (April 7th) on; it will remain strong until this Friday night (April 13th)</strong>. What we identify ourselves with could now be challenged. This aspect forces us to confront our will, power, assertion, and authority.\r\n\r\nComing into focus now: the relationship with a father- or other important male-figures. We may face the need to be more independent, assertive, and autonomous.\r\n\r\nWe may alienate others with a controlling, jealous, or overbearing manner. This manner stems from a deep fear of letting go and surrendering to the idea that some things cannot be directed or controlled. We are learning to detach from (let go of) something or someone that no longer serves us -- the \"something\" could include attitudes.\r\n\r\nThis fear may lead us to compulsive, suspicious, or difficult behavior, costing us the very thing that we hold dear. As best as you can, open yourself up to the power of love within. When you do, you will discover your own strength, and rework your very identity. Perhaps most importantly, this aspect puts us face to face with <i>exactly</i> what\'s been holding us back from leading a fuller, more meaningful life.\r\n\r\nWe may have to make some changes or adjustments between our immediate personal desires and our long-term goals. As best as you can, be open to receiving feedback from others during this time.\r\n\r\nIf you feel pressured into doing something or you feel a power struggle build, as best as you can, get centered, get grounded and open your heart and mind. This aspect is a major growth opportunity for us: we struggle with buried elements of our personality and ego, learning to face, accept and transform them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra,  </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (the Sun is the ruler of Leo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso <strong>on Tuesday</strong>, <i>Mercury starts to slow down again (“stationing”).</i><i> </i>It’s getting ready to come to a halt, ending its 3.5-week retrograde phase, on Sunday, April 15th (more on that later this week…). For the next 10 days (<strong>until April 20th</strong><b>)</b>, we need to be patient with ourselves and others -- especially if there is a connection with communication or transportation, and their associated technologies. This is not the best time to start anything brand-new, especially if it contains new information that needs to be processed.\r\n\r\nWe might experience delays or misunderstandings, and things tend to feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time to get ready for travel somewhere -- especially if you intend to use public transportation or drive (For more details on Mercury Shadow Phases and Retrogrades, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">click here</a>)\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets (or angles) <em>in 4-6 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong>, <b>Libra</b>, </em></i><b><i>Capricorn, </i></b><i>or</i><i> </i><b><i>Cancer.</i></b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (April 11th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <strong>until 2:40pm EDT</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:03am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Friday evening (April 6th) on; it will remain strong until this Sunday.</strong> We tend to feel passionate, super-creative, and just plain energized at this time -- we have tons of vitality and warmth.\r\n\r\nThis helps us bring people together for mutual pleasure and benefit; there is also a feeling of flow around creativity and manifesting something real... If you knew it would be easy, what would you pick to create?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of <b>Taurus,</b></i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?</i><i> If so, you may feel more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars rules Aries) </i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday morning</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Sun/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 8:15am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday night</strong>. This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed if we’re to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\nThis aspect brings us to a fork in the road: One path takes us toward personal goals and helps us inspire others by being direct and enthusiastic. The other leads to greater understanding of intimacy, and of how we share our resources with others.\r\n\r\nThere\'s not necessarily a \"correct path\", as both can lead to a deeper exploration of the themes in question. Whichever one you decide to walk, go deeper rather than faster -- empower yourself and others by connecting in an authentic way, being honest about your motivations.\r\n\r\nOne more thing: as best as you can, carefully evaluate any projects before getting involved -- awareness is key with this aspect. Ask yourself: What is needed? How can we serve the broader view?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 22-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules of Leo; Jupiter rules Sagittarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 10:55am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 4 hours, <strong>until 2:40pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday late morning and early afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 2:40pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces, </i></b>where it will journey <strong>until Friday late evening</strong>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (April 12th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <strong>all day</strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:26pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday night</strong>. This is an opportunity for compassion and kindness in our social interactions. We are more attuned to the subtleties of human interaction, and are more inclined to naturally cooperate with others. We tend to \"feel\" each other on an energetic level now; a sensitive approach is recommended.\r\n\r\nWe also have an opportunity to connect to our values and gifts from intuition, and use our imagination to attract what we want: When you daydream, what would you like to experience? How would it feel?\r\n\r\nRemember: opportunities are openings; they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 13-17 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune rules Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday evening,</strong> <em>the Balsamic Moon phase begins</em> -- when the Moon reaches 11 degrees of <strong>Pisces.</strong><i> </i>This lasts <b>until Sunday late evening</b>, when the New Moon in <b>Aries </b>becomes exact (for those of you who are impatiently waiting for my New Moon video, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here</a> after April 10th). We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our intuition.\r\n\r\nFor some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes. This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (April 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <strong>until 11:25pm EDT</strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 7:27am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 16 hours, <strong>until 11:25pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to explore any beliefs connected to past experiences that left you feeling disempowered: How could a compassionate approach to the past allow for a new perspective?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday all day and evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 11:25pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries,</i></b> where it will journey <strong>until Monday very early morning (April 16th)</strong>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<b> </b>\r\n\r\nAlso<strong> on Friday, </strong><em>Mercury Station intensifies in almost 5 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> -- as Mercury is preparing to come to halt on Sunday (ending its 3.5-week retrograde phase). During the station phase, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments once Mercury is moving direct again (to be more precise, during the shadow phase that follows).\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned on Tuesday already,<strong> for the next 6 days</strong>, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait <strong>until after May 3rd</strong>, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 3-6 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (April 14th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b>Aries</b></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Friday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday early morning</strong>, <em>a long-term, opportune Jupiter/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:58am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday (March 19th) on; it will remain strong until Tuesday (May 1st)</strong>. This is second time this year we will experience this aspect -- think back to January, when it last occurred: In what ways were you able to deepen your relationships, business and personal alike?\r\n\r\nA positive attitude and deeper trust in our connections with others gives us the chance to build something meaningful and share our passions. We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support professional or personal goals.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Where could I really dig in to solve a problem? How might passion help deliver on my long-term goals? How could other people\'s resources support my ability to create transformation? How might they help me stand in my power?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>Saturday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Mars/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:27pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until</strong></span> <strong>next week</strong><strong>, </strong><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>Wednesday evening (April 18th)</strong>. </span>This gives us the opportunity to take actions that are in alignment with our dreams and ideals. This is also an opportunity for boundaries to dissolve -- to open and relax.\r\n\r\nCreative or spiritual activities might be a good fit with this planetary connection. We may feel the need to daydream or inspire others. What might it mean, to take \"inspired action\"? What might show up in the world? What if you allowed the Universe to co-create with you?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <span style=\"color: #808080;\">13-17 degrees</span> of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Pisces,  Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>?

What will time do?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during the time of the station, bring flexibility and open-mindedness to any frustrations. The station-phase will feel most intense until <b>until April 20th, </b>but altogether, it will run <b>until April 24th</b> -- and Saturn will start its 5-month retrograde phase, next week Tuesday (<b>on April 17th)</b>… more on that next week ;-)\r\n\r\nFeel free to watch our mp4 video presentation about April\'s Saturn and Pluto Station and Retrograde phases in relationship to our own Birth charts...To purchase this webinar, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">click here. </a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Special Offer:</strong> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-) <b>Please note </b>that we will be talking about Chiron moving into Aries and Uranus moving into Taurus, in our next Forum.

With any new-found understanding of your own thinking structures?\r\n\r\nWhen Mercury gets back to its regular speed (<b>by April 20th</b>), communication and transportation will get back to normal; the same is true of any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets (or angles) in 3-6 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Libra.</i></b>\r\n\r\nAs you may recall, I mentioned <i>Mercury shadow phases</i> on Tuesday: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it\'s best to avoid the periods shortly before and after Mercury goes retrograde. This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) This particular <b>shadow phase ends on May 3rd</b>. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">Click here to read my blog on the subject</a>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening, at 9:57pm EDT:</strong> the <em>Moon aligns with the Sun in 26 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em>. This is the beginning of a new Moon cycle; anything brand-new started in the next two weeks has the chance to get off to a great start. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">Also feel free to watch my New Moon video on the subject</a> (will be posted by April 10th)\r\n\r\nThe <i>New Moon in fast-paced, enthusiastic, courageous </i><b><i>Aries</i></b>, asks us to connect to our personal goals and get very clear on what we want to create for the next 28 days. This is an action-packed energy, with the focus on ourselves -- we tend to do first and think later -- we have a tremendous amount of energy and want to sprint.\r\n\r\nAries is the first sign of the zodiac, and thus represents new beginnings, initiation, breaking new ground and birthing new forms. An <em>Aries New Moon</em> is thus an especially fertile time for seeding new projects and directions.\r\n\r\nWe generally don\'t know what will happen when we start something brand-new -- something we have never done before -- and this can bring up insecurities and nervousness, sometimes maybe even plain fear or even panic.\r\n\r\nAries and its ruling planet Mars correspond with the quest to develop courage -- not fearlessness, but the conscious choice to act in spite of fear. Some call this the \"Warrior Energy\".\r\n\r\nOne of the many ways we can demonstrate courage is allow ourselves to be in a state of \"not knowing\" or \"beginners mind\". At these times, we are more present, and sometimes a state of heightened creative potential arises. <b>Ask yourself: </b>What might come forth if I suspended my opinions, beliefs, judgments and concepts, just for a moment, here and there? Could I be brave enough to take a rest from needing to know, just for right now?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars is the ruler of Aries; it\'s currently in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, sextiling Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>.</i> This aspect asks us to create a solid relationship with our long-term ambitions, while allowing for our inner divinity (Source/God) to guide us toward what feels intuitively right to us, so we can go after it, and manifest it.\r\n\r\nIt also bears a cosmic message about relating to our long-term goals in a loving, kind manner -- softening our approach perhaps, releasing rigid \"shoulds\" and any obligations not aligned with our highest calling.\r\n\r\nIn the same spirit, we are also asked to slow down and focus on quality over quantity, sustainability over novelty, ease over force. <b>Questions you can ask yourself here:</b> What structures might support my emotional/intuitive well-being? What actions would connect my ambitious self to my \"soul-self\"?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars also aligns with Pluto and Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>. This combo brings our long-term business dealings into deep and sharp focus, especially when it comes to manifesting something real (tangible, sustainable, meaningful, etc.)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nFurther, anything dysfunctional within our businesses, governments or long-term goals invites investigation. We are being asked to eliminate or transform anything no longer aligned with our Soul’s passions. This is for our highest good -- individually and collectively.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I felt fully empowered from within and felt absolutely passionate about life, what would I go about “building”? What would be truly meaningful to my Soul in the long run?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon aligns with Uranus in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> -- </i><i>and this is also part of a square with Pluto and Mars in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>. This underlines the message that we are ready to take the next big step on our path. Uranus symbolizes the desire for freedom, equality, and (most of all) progress.\r\n\r\nIt takes courage to leave familiar territory.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span><b>Ask yourself:</b> What is the next step on my journey toward becoming an ever-stronger, healthy individual, one who knows themselves, and is not afraid to go after their personal goals and desires? What if it were possible to accomplish that whilst staying focused on my long-term achievements?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> What might that look like?</span>\r\n\r\n<i>This alignment between Uranus and the New Moon</i> asks us to break away from anything keeping us from stepping up our game -- whatever keeps us in a rut.\r\n\r\nShifts are happening everywhere. It\'s time to develop some courage and awareness: Where do you want to step up? Where do you want to break out? If you made a big leap, where would you most like to land? Could you surprise yourself once a day, for the next 28 days?\r\n\r\n<i>Pluto is also stationing -- </i>and thus exalted -- bringing extra intensity to this process. Pluto shows us where we give our power away to others and where we abuse it ourselves. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What structures no longer empower me? What am I most aware of right now? If I\'m honest, what will almost inevitably break down over the long haul, simply because it is no longer sustainable?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury has been retrograde for the past three weeks, </i>guiding us to reevaluate our thinking about personal goals and how we want to move things forward. Mercury\'s retrograde directed us to deal with unfinished business around past or present dealings, <i>to acknowledge what we learned, be thankful for the growth we experienced, and move forward.</i>\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> is all about “Beginner’s Mind” -- open, eager, willing to be surprised. The fewer preconceptions we have, the more possibilities we see, the path widens as we walk it. The aspect also reminds us that communication starts within our own minds -- our inner dialog is the seed for all outer communication.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury will be moving direct on the day of the New Moon</i>, giving the green light to anything that was in a holding pattern for the past 3-6 weeks. That said, anything developed from scratch (or that first came to light) during the retrograde phase is best left on \"pause\", until the shadow phase ends on May 3rd.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe are also cautioned not to be hasty, as <i>Mercury still squares Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>; the message here is \"take it steady\". <b>Ask yourself:</b> What benefits might I reap from taking it one step at a time?\r\n\r\nWe\'ll be dealing with a lot of Stations this month: Mercury, Saturn, Pluto. Keep in mind that these station phases create awareness. When preparing to go retrograde, they in turn prepare us to gain inner clarity and connect to the energies from within (i.e., more intuitively). In this case, that would apply to Saturn and Pluto.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, when going direct, after a retrograde phase, a station prepares us to move forward (in this instance, that applies to Mercury.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>On April 17th,</strong> <em>Saturn goes into its yearly retrograde, this time at 9º <strong>Capricorn.</strong></em> It will turn direct on Sept. 6th at 2.5º, and get back to that starting point of 9º Capricorn on December 12th.\r\n\r\nSaturn in Capricorn exposes the consequences of our long-term ambitions.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>Saturn always calls us to become our own authority, our own judge of what is right, true, and useful long-term. This can be very different from what society, other authority figures, or our country tells us.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWhile I\'m on the subject: the Saturn and Pluto Retrogrades were covered in considerable detail in the last Monthly Forecasting Forum -- and if you want to know how this planetary movement might impact you personally, feel free to purchase the video of the last webinar -- we applied the Pluto and Saturn Retrograde phases to our own birth charts! <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">Click here for more info or to purchase the recording</a>\r\n\r\nThere is also a <b>Special</b> <strong>Offer</strong> linked to that recording<b>:</b> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for the next Forum</a> <b>by April 17th</b>, I will include that Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar for FREE ;-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<em>During the upcoming Retrograde phases,</em> it may be advisable for us to keep the focus more on ourselves, and check in frequently with our inner compass. We also get a chance to see what works (and what doesn\'t) in certain areas of our lives; we can take stock, and look to see what needs a do-over (or at least a reassessment).\r\n\r\nLast but not least, we have <i>Chiron in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> -- this is the last degree of the sign and the aspect is  therefore exalted. We are approaching the end of 7 years of Chiron in Pisces!\r\n\r\nThink back over those last 7 years and <strong>ask yourself:</strong> What have I learned about my relationship to my higher Self/intuition? What have I learned about the emotional body? About the energetic body? What do I know about my inner healing process that I didn\'t know before 2011?\r\n\r\n<i>Chiron will move into </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> </i><b>on April 17th</b> -- the same day that Saturn comes to a halt -- and will remain in this enthusiastic sign until the end of September.\r\n\r\nWe will go over this upcoming shift in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how Chiron\'s journey through Aries, (and Uranus\'s journey through Taurus) will impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. The next Forum will be on <b>Monday, April 30th</b> at 3pm EDT/8pm BST (London-time); <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">for more info or to register, click here</a>\r\n\r\n<b>And of course, there\'s that Special Offer, I mentioned already:</b> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> <b>by April 17th</b>, you will also get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs a reminder to <strong>Star </strong>or<strong> SuperStar members:</strong> you will be automatically signed up for the Forum and will receive a link via email to join the live webinar and also for the video presentation. Watch out for those emails (and check your junk mail, if you don\'t see it in your inbox ;-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAlright, let\'s turn our attention back to this <i>New Moon: </i> we are helped to go beyond the familiar, the comfortable, the customary. Here are some more questions you can <b>ask yourself for the next two to four weeks:</b> What is my vision? What do I want to create now? What needs to change to make this happen?\r\n\r\nThe highest expression of the <b>Aries</b> energy is expressed when we lead others by example and inspiration -- they follow because they see our courage, our enthusiasm for life, and they want to be a part of that. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What if dared to lead responsibly and with integrity? What if I were the one who inspires others and makes a difference? What is the smallest difference I could make? What is the largest?\r\n\r\nDo your best to tap into the very core of your being — your vision, your purpose — and don\'t be fooled: it is an essential part of the collective journey. Be an agent of change! Have the courage to step up and step out!\r\nTo quote Hillel: “If not you, then who? If not now, when?”\r\n\r\n<b>Some bonus questions you can ask yourself for the next 2 weeks:</b> What do I see that needs changing? What do I feel most passionate about? Where do I need to take a stand? What if I approached things with 5% more maturity? What is the outcome that serves long-term? <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> As best as you can, commit to something larger than yourself. Listen to your inner voice and bring your passionate Self to the world. Remember that each of us makes this journey in our own way, in our own time, so focus on yourself -- <em>your</em> path, <em>your</em> truth -- rather than on what lies beyond your control.\r\n\r\nSpring is an excellent time to do a cleanse on all levels.<b> Ask yourself:</b> What changes have already been in the back of my mind for months now? What first step looks inviting?\r\n\r\nRemember, the ultimate goal of this New Moon is to tap into our inner warrior — a mature warrior that generates and protects, rather than the shadow warrior who exploits and destroys -- who is courageous, rather than combative, assertive rather than aggressive.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">To learn more about this month\'s New Moon, please click here to watch my video. </a>(will be posted by April 10th)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 24-28 degrees of either </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>?

This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to <strong>set some powerful intentions</strong> for this month\'s Moon cycle (this process is especially powerful with the <i>New Moon in </i><b><i>Aries)</i></b>. Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <i>not</i> during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase.\r\n\r\nSo this month, we have two periods that are great<i> times to set intentions:</i> the first one is the roughly four hours that lie between <b>9:57pm Sunday late evening (April 15th) </b>and<b> 1:59am Monday very early morning (April 16th).</b>\r\n\r\nIf you aren’t able to set intentions during that time period, wait a few hours, and do so between <b>4:51am on Monday and 6:05pm EDT, Tuesday April 17th. </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more info on setting New Moon Intentions click here</a><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<b>Here’s a few bonus questions:</b> Where could I have “beginner’s mind”?

Mercury follows suit, beginning its own Station phase on Tuesday, that in turn intensifies on Friday (it will come to a complete halt -- ending it\'s retrograde phase -- on Sunday morning).\r\n\r\nIn other news, the Balsamic Moon phase becomes exact on Thursday evening, and the New Moon in Aries becomes exact on Sunday, late in the evening.\r\n\r\nAnd of course, the week wouldn\'t be complete without some <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases -- though there are only two this week: the first on Wednesday, late in the morning (it lasts for almost 4 hours) and a longer one that starts Friday morning and runs for almost 16 hours.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (April 9th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><strong>Capricorn</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 2:50am EDT. </strong><strong>At that point</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <b><strong>until Wednesday afternoon</strong>. </b>The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Monday</strong>, <b> </b><i>Saturn slows down (stations) in 9 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i> <i>\"Stationing\" is when a planet </i>moves more slowly through the sky. When a planet stations, its energy becomes...\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\r\n<strong> GET IT ALL!

Saturn also represents our structures, responsibilities, commitments and ability to \"do\" life, on life\'s terms.\r\n\r\nAs spirit beings in a physical world, it\'s best to observe the laws of the physical world. The sooner we learn to \"play by the rules\", the easier life gets. Saturn also represents time and the \"domain\" of time: growing up, maturing, understanding our limitations, setting healthy boundaries with others, living with integrity, being authentic and truthful, being serious and focused on building something of value to society.\r\n\r\nSaturn is our teacher. If you had a cosmic teacher, what would your personal \"earth class\" be in, right now? Where are you being asked to look at your long-term goals and ambitons and became more mature? What calls for a commitment towards building a solid foundation? What will time do?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during the time of the station, bring flexibility and open-mindedness to any frustrations. The station-phase will last <b>until April 24th</b> -- and Saturn will start its 5-month retrograde phase, next week Tuesday, on April 17th…\r\n\r\nFeel free to watch our mp4 video presentation about April\'s Saturn and Pluto Station and Retrograde phases in relationship to our own Birth charts...To purchase this webinar, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">click here. </a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Special Offer:</strong> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-) <b>Please note </b>that we will be talking about Chiron moving into Aries and Uranus moving into Taurus, in our next Forum.

This aspect forces us to confront our will, power, assertion, and authority.\r\n\r\nComing into focus now: the relationship with a father- or other important male-figures. We may face the need to be more independent, assertive, and autonomous.\r\n\r\nWe may alienate others with a controlling, jealous, or overbearing manner. This manner stems from a deep fear of letting go and surrendering to the idea that some things cannot be directed or controlled. We are learning to detach from (let go of) something or someone that no longer serves us -- the \"something\" could include attitudes.\r\n\r\nThis fear may lead us to compulsive, suspicious, or difficult behavior, costing us the very thing that we hold dear. As best as you can, open yourself up to the power of love within. When you do, you will discover your own strength, and rework your very identity. Perhaps most importantly, this aspect puts us face to face with <i>exactly</i> what\'s been holding us back from leading a fuller, more meaningful life.\r\n\r\nWe may have to make some changes or adjustments between our immediate personal desires and our long-term goals. As best as you can, be open to receiving feedback from others during this time.\r\n\r\nIf you feel pressured into doing something or you feel a power struggle build, as best as you can, get centered, get grounded and open your heart and mind. This aspect is a major growth opportunity for us: we struggle with buried elements of our personality and ego, learning to face, accept and transform them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra,  </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

For the next 10 days (<strong>until April 20th</strong><b>)</b>, we need to be patient with ourselves and others -- especially if there is a connection with communication or transportation, and their associated technologies. This is not the best time to start anything brand-new, especially if it contains new information that needs to be processed.\r\n\r\nWe might experience delays or misunderstandings, and things tend to feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time to get ready for travel somewhere -- especially if you intend to use public transportation or drive (For more details on Mercury Shadow Phases and Retrogrades, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">click here</a>)\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets (or angles) <em>in 4-6 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong>, <b>Libra</b>, </em></i><b><i>Capricorn, </i></b><i>or</i><i> </i><b><i>Cancer.</i></b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (April 11th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <strong>until 2:40pm EDT</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:03am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Friday evening (April 6th) on; it will remain strong until this Sunday.</strong> We tend to feel passionate, super-creative, and just plain energized at this time -- we have tons of vitality and warmth.\r\n\r\nThis helps us bring people together for mutual pleasure and benefit; there is also a feeling of flow around creativity and manifesting something real... If you knew it would be easy, what would you pick to create?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of <b>Taurus,</b></i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?</i><i> If so, you may feel more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars rules Aries) </i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday morning</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Sun/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 8:15am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday night</strong>. This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed if we’re to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\nThis aspect brings us to a fork in the road: One path takes us toward personal goals and helps us inspire others by being direct and enthusiastic. The other leads to greater understanding of intimacy, and of how we share our resources with others.\r\n\r\nThere\'s not necessarily a \"correct path\", as both can lead to a deeper exploration of the themes in question. Whichever one you decide to walk, go deeper rather than faster -- empower yourself and others by connecting in an authentic way, being honest about your motivations.\r\n\r\nOne more thing: as best as you can, carefully evaluate any projects before getting involved -- awareness is key with this aspect. Ask yourself: What is needed? How can we serve the broader view?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 22-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>?

We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (April 12th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <strong>all day</strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:26pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday night</strong>. This is an opportunity for compassion and kindness in our social interactions. We are more attuned to the subtleties of human interaction, and are more inclined to naturally cooperate with others. We tend to \"feel\" each other on an energetic level now; a sensitive approach is recommended.\r\n\r\nWe also have an opportunity to connect to our values and gifts from intuition, and use our imagination to attract what we want: When you daydream, what would you like to experience? How would it feel?\r\n\r\nRemember: opportunities are openings; they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 13-17 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune rules Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday evening,</strong> <em>the Balsamic Moon phase begins</em> -- when the Moon reaches 11 degrees of <strong>Pisces.</strong><i> </i>This lasts <b>until Sunday late evening</b>, when the New Moon in <b>Aries </b>becomes exact (for those of you who are impatiently waiting for my New Moon video, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here</a> after April 10th). We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our intuition.\r\n\r\nFor some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes. This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (April 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <strong>until 11:25pm EDT</strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 7:27am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 16 hours, <strong>until 11:25pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to explore any beliefs connected to past experiences that left you feeling disempowered: How could a compassionate approach to the past allow for a new perspective?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<b> </b>\r\n\r\nAlso<strong> on Friday, </strong><em>Mercury Station intensifies in almost 5 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> -- as Mercury is preparing to come to halt on Sunday (ending its 3.5-week retrograde phase). During the station phase, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments once Mercury is moving direct again (to be more precise, during the shadow phase that follows).\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned on Tuesday already,<strong> for the next 6 days</strong>, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait <strong>until after May 3rd</strong>, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 3-6 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (April 14th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b>Aries</b></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Friday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday early morning</strong>, <em>a long-term, opportune Jupiter/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:58am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday (March 19th) on; it will remain strong until Tuesday (May 1st)</strong>. This is second time this year we will experience this aspect -- think back to January, when it last occurred: In what ways were you able to deepen your relationships, business and personal alike?\r\n\r\nA positive attitude and deeper trust in our connections with others gives us the chance to build something meaningful and share our passions. We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support professional or personal goals.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Where could I really dig in to solve a problem? How might passion help deliver on my long-term goals? How could other people\'s resources support my ability to create transformation? How might they help me stand in my power?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>?

This is also an opportunity for boundaries to dissolve -- to open and relax.\r\n\r\nCreative or spiritual activities might be a good fit with this planetary connection. We may feel the need to daydream or inspire others. What might it mean, to take \"inspired action\"? What might show up in the world? What if you allowed the Universe to co-create with you?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <span style=\"color: #808080;\">13-17 degrees</span> of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Pisces,  Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>?

What did you learn about your inner dialog over the past 3 weeks? How can you share your newly found inner understanding in a healthy way with the world? What needs to be addressed regarding your personal goals and desires? With a direct and passionate way of approaching communications? With any new-found understanding of your own thinking structures?\r\n\r\nWhen Mercury gets back to its regular speed (<b>by April 20th</b>), communication and transportation will get back to normal; the same is true of any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets (or angles) in 3-6 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Libra.</i></b>\r\n\r\nAs you may recall, I mentioned <i>Mercury shadow phases</i> on Tuesday: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it\'s best to avoid the periods shortly before and after Mercury goes retrograde. This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) This particular <b>shadow phase ends on May 3rd</b>. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">Click here to read my blog on the subject</a>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening, at 9:57pm EDT:</strong> the <em>Moon aligns with the Sun in 26 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em>. This is the beginning of a new Moon cycle; anything brand-new started in the next two weeks has the chance to get off to a great start. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">Also feel free to watch my New Moon video on the subject</a> (will be posted by April 10th)\r\n\r\nThe <i>New Moon in fast-paced, enthusiastic, courageous </i><b><i>Aries</i></b>, asks us to connect to our personal goals and get very clear on what we want to create for the next 28 days. This is an action-packed energy, with the focus on ourselves -- we tend to do first and think later -- we have a tremendous amount of energy and want to sprint.\r\n\r\nAries is the first sign of the zodiac, and thus represents new beginnings, initiation, breaking new ground and birthing new forms. An <em>Aries New Moon</em> is thus an especially fertile time for seeding new projects and directions.\r\n\r\nWe generally don\'t know what will happen when we start something brand-new -- something we have never done before -- and this can bring up insecurities and nervousness, sometimes maybe even plain fear or even panic.\r\n\r\nAries and its ruling planet Mars correspond with the quest to develop courage -- not fearlessness, but the conscious choice to act in spite of fear. Some call this the \"Warrior Energy\".\r\n\r\nOne of the many ways we can demonstrate courage is allow ourselves to be in a state of \"not knowing\" or \"beginners mind\". At these times, we are more present, and sometimes a state of heightened creative potential arises. <b>Ask yourself: </b>What might come forth if I suspended my opinions, beliefs, judgments and concepts, just for a moment, here and there? Could I be brave enough to take a rest from needing to know, just for right now?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars is the ruler of Aries; it\'s currently in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, sextiling Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>.</i> This aspect asks us to create a solid relationship with our long-term ambitions, while allowing for our inner divinity (Source/God) to guide us toward what feels intuitively right to us, so we can go after it, and manifest it.\r\n\r\nIt also bears a cosmic message about relating to our long-term goals in a loving, kind manner -- softening our approach perhaps, releasing rigid \"shoulds\" and any obligations not aligned with our highest calling.\r\n\r\nIn the same spirit, we are also asked to slow down and focus on quality over quantity, sustainability over novelty, ease over force. <b>Questions you can ask yourself here:</b> What structures might support my emotional/intuitive well-being? What actions would connect my ambitious self to my \"soul-self\"?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars also aligns with Pluto and Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>. This combo brings our long-term business dealings into deep and sharp focus, especially when it comes to manifesting something real (tangible, sustainable, meaningful, etc.)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nFurther, anything dysfunctional within our businesses, governments or long-term goals invites investigation. We are being asked to eliminate or transform anything no longer aligned with our Soul’s passions. This is for our highest good -- individually and collectively.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I felt fully empowered from within and felt absolutely passionate about life, what would I go about “building”? What would be truly meaningful to my Soul in the long run?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon aligns with Uranus in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> -- </i><i>and this is also part of a square with Pluto and Mars in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>. This underlines the message that we are ready to take the next big step on our path. Uranus symbolizes the desire for freedom, equality, and (most of all) progress.\r\n\r\nIt takes courage to leave familiar territory.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span><b>Ask yourself:</b> What is the next step on my journey toward becoming an ever-stronger, healthy individual, one who knows themselves, and is not afraid to go after their personal goals and desires? What if it were possible to accomplish that whilst staying focused on my long-term achievements?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> What might that look like?</span>\r\n\r\n<i>This alignment between Uranus and the New Moon</i> asks us to break away from anything keeping us from stepping up our game -- whatever keeps us in a rut.\r\n\r\nShifts are happening everywhere. It\'s time to develop some courage and awareness: Where do you want to step up? Where do you want to break out? If you made a big leap, where would you most like to land? Could you surprise yourself once a day, for the next 28 days?\r\n\r\n<i>Pluto is also stationing -- </i>and thus exalted -- bringing extra intensity to this process. Pluto shows us where we give our power away to others and where we abuse it ourselves. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What structures no longer empower me? What am I most aware of right now? If I\'m honest, what will almost inevitably break down over the long haul, simply because it is no longer sustainable?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury has been retrograde for the past three weeks, </i>guiding us to reevaluate our thinking about personal goals and how we want to move things forward. Mercury\'s retrograde directed us to deal with unfinished business around past or present dealings, <i>to acknowledge what we learned, be thankful for the growth we experienced, and move forward.</i>\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> is all about “Beginner’s Mind” -- open, eager, willing to be surprised. The fewer preconceptions we have, the more possibilities we see, the path widens as we walk it. The aspect also reminds us that communication starts within our own minds -- our inner dialog is the seed for all outer communication.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury will be moving direct on the day of the New Moon</i>, giving the green light to anything that was in a holding pattern for the past 3-6 weeks. That said, anything developed from scratch (or that first came to light) during the retrograde phase is best left on \"pause\", until the shadow phase ends on May 3rd.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe are also cautioned not to be hasty, as <i>Mercury still squares Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>; the message here is \"take it steady\". <b>Ask yourself:</b> What benefits might I reap from taking it one step at a time?\r\n\r\nWe\'ll be dealing with a lot of Stations this month: Mercury, Saturn, Pluto. Keep in mind that these station phases create awareness. When preparing to go retrograde, they in turn prepare us to gain inner clarity and connect to the energies from within (i.e., more intuitively). In this case, that would apply to Saturn and Pluto.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, when going direct, after a retrograde phase, a station prepares us to move forward (in this instance, that applies to Mercury.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>On April 17th,</strong> <em>Saturn goes into its yearly retrograde, this time at 9º <strong>Capricorn.</strong></em> It will turn direct on Sept. 6th at 2.5º, and get back to that starting point of 9º Capricorn on December 12th.\r\n\r\nSaturn in Capricorn exposes the consequences of our long-term ambitions.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>Saturn always calls us to become our own authority, our own judge of what is right, true, and useful long-term. This can be very different from what society, other authority figures, or our country tells us.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWhile I\'m on the subject: the Saturn and Pluto Retrogrades were covered in considerable detail in the last Monthly Forecasting Forum -- and if you want to know how this planetary movement might impact you personally, feel free to purchase the video of the last webinar -- we applied the Pluto and Saturn Retrograde phases to our own birth charts! <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">Click here for more info or to purchase the recording</a>\r\n\r\nThere is also a <b>Special</b> <strong>Offer</strong> linked to that recording<b>:</b> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for the next Forum</a> <b>by April 17th</b>, I will include that Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar for FREE ;-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<em>During the upcoming Retrograde phases,</em> it may be advisable for us to keep the focus more on ourselves, and check in frequently with our inner compass. We also get a chance to see what works (and what doesn\'t) in certain areas of our lives; we can take stock, and look to see what needs a do-over (or at least a reassessment).\r\n\r\nLast but not least, we have <i>Chiron in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> -- this is the last degree of the sign and the aspect is  therefore exalted. We are approaching the end of 7 years of Chiron in Pisces!\r\n\r\nThink back over those last 7 years and <strong>ask yourself:</strong> What have I learned about my relationship to my higher Self/intuition? What have I learned about the emotional body? About the energetic body? What do I know about my inner healing process that I didn\'t know before 2011?\r\n\r\n<i>Chiron will move into </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> </i><b>on April 17th</b> -- the same day that Saturn comes to a halt -- and will remain in this enthusiastic sign until the end of September.\r\n\r\nWe will go over this upcoming shift in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how Chiron\'s journey through Aries, (and Uranus\'s journey through Taurus) will impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. The next Forum will be on <b>Monday, April 30th</b> at 3pm EDT/8pm BST (London-time); <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">for more info or to register, click here</a>\r\n\r\n<b>And of course, there\'s that Special Offer, I mentioned already:</b> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> <b>by April 17th</b>, you will also get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs a reminder to <strong>Star </strong>or<strong> SuperStar members:</strong> you will be automatically signed up for the Forum and will receive a link via email to join the live webinar and also for the video presentation.

Here are some more questions you can <b>ask yourself for the next two to four weeks:</b> What is my vision? What do I want to create now? What needs to change to make this happen?\r\n\r\nThe highest expression of the <b>Aries</b> energy is expressed when we lead others by example and inspiration -- they follow because they see our courage, our enthusiasm for life, and they want to be a part of that. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What if dared to lead responsibly and with integrity? What if I were the one who inspires others and makes a difference? What is the smallest difference I could make? What is the largest?\r\n\r\nDo your best to tap into the very core of your being — your vision, your purpose — and don\'t be fooled: it is an essential part of the collective journey. Be an agent of change! Have the courage to step up and step out!\r\nTo quote Hillel: “If not you, then who? If not now, when?”\r\n\r\n<b>Some bonus questions you can ask yourself for the next 2 weeks:</b> What do I see that needs changing? What do I feel most passionate about? Where do I need to take a stand? What if I approached things with 5% more maturity? What is the outcome that serves long-term? <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> As best as you can, commit to something larger than yourself. Listen to your inner voice and bring your passionate Self to the world. Remember that each of us makes this journey in our own way, in our own time, so focus on yourself -- <em>your</em> path, <em>your</em> truth -- rather than on what lies beyond your control.\r\n\r\nSpring is an excellent time to do a cleanse on all levels.<b> Ask yourself:</b> What changes have already been in the back of my mind for months now? What first step looks inviting?\r\n\r\nRemember, the ultimate goal of this New Moon is to tap into our inner warrior — a mature warrior that generates and protects, rather than the shadow warrior who exploits and destroys -- who is courageous, rather than combative, assertive rather than aggressive.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">To learn more about this month\'s New Moon, please click here to watch my video. </a>(will be posted by April 10th)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 24-28 degrees of either </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>?

Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <i>not</i> during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase.\r\n\r\nSo this month, we have two periods that are great<i> times to set intentions:</i> the first one is the roughly four hours that lie between <b>9:57pm Sunday late evening (April 15th) </b>and<b> 1:59am Monday very early morning (April 16th).</b>\r\n\r\nIf you aren’t able to set intentions during that time period, wait a few hours, and do so between <b>4:51am on Monday and 6:05pm EDT, Tuesday April 17th. </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more info on setting New Moon Intentions click here</a><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<b>Here’s a few bonus questions:</b> Where could I have “beginner’s mind”?

Mercury follows suit, beginning its own Station phase on Tuesday, that in turn intensifies on Friday (it will come to a complete halt -- ending it\'s retrograde phase -- on Sunday morning).\r\n\r\nIn other news, the Balsamic Moon phase becomes exact on Thursday evening, and the New Moon in Aries becomes exact on Sunday, late in the evening.\r\n\r\nAnd of course, the week wouldn\'t be complete without some <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases -- though there are only two this week: the first on Wednesday, late in the morning (it lasts for almost 4 hours) and a longer one that starts Friday morning and runs for almost 16 hours.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (April 9th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><strong>Capricorn</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 2:50am EDT. </strong><strong>At that point</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <b><strong>until Wednesday afternoon</strong>. </b>The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Monday</strong>, <b> </b><i>Saturn slows down (stations) in 9 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i> <i>\"Stationing\" is when a planet </i>moves more slowly through the sky. When a planet stations, its energy becomes...\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>GET IT ALL!

Saturn also represents our structures, responsibilities, commitments and ability to \"do\" life, on life\'s terms.\r\n\r\nAs spirit beings in a physical world, it\'s best to observe the laws of the physical world. The sooner we learn to \"play by the rules\", the easier life gets. Saturn also represents time and the \"domain\" of time: growing up, maturing, understanding our limitations, setting healthy boundaries with others, living with integrity, being authentic and truthful, being serious and focused on building something of value to society.\r\n\r\nSaturn is our teacher. If you had a cosmic teacher, what would your personal \"earth class\" be in, right now? Where are you being asked to look at your long-term goals and ambitons and became more mature? What calls for a commitment towards building a solid foundation? What will time do?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during the time of the station, bring flexibility and open-mindedness to any frustrations. The station-phase will last <b>until April 24th</b> -- and Saturn will start its 5-month retrograde phase, next week Tuesday, on April 17th…\r\n\r\nFeel free to watch our mp4 video presentation about April\'s Saturn and Pluto Station and Retrograde phases in relationship to our own Birth charts...To purchase this webinar, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">click here. </a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Special Offer:</strong> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-) <b>Please note </b>that we will be talking about Chiron moving into Aries and Uranus moving into Taurus, in our next Forum.

If so, you will be more affected by this station. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>, since Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (April 10th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <strong>all day</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday night/</strong>Wednesday very early morning, <em>a challenging Sun/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:54am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening (April 7th) on; it will remain strong until this Friday night (April 13th)</strong>. What we identify ourselves with could now be challenged. This aspect forces us to confront our will, power, assertion, and authority.\r\n\r\nComing into focus now: the relationship with a father- or other important male-figures. We may face the need to be more independent, assertive, and autonomous.\r\n\r\nWe may alienate others with a controlling, jealous, or overbearing manner. This manner stems from a deep fear of letting go and surrendering to the idea that some things cannot be directed or controlled. We are learning to detach from (let go of) something or someone that no longer serves us -- the \"something\" could include attitudes.\r\n\r\nThis fear may lead us to compulsive, suspicious, or difficult behavior, costing us the very thing that we hold dear. As best as you can, open yourself up to the power of love within. When you do, you will discover your own strength, and rework your very identity. Perhaps most importantly, this aspect puts us face to face with <i>exactly</i> what\'s been holding us back from leading a fuller, more meaningful life.\r\n\r\nWe may have to make some changes or adjustments between our immediate personal desires and our long-term goals. As best as you can, be open to receiving feedback from others during this time.\r\n\r\nIf you feel pressured into doing something or you feel a power struggle build, as best as you can, get centered, get grounded and open your heart and mind. This aspect is a major growth opportunity for us: we struggle with buried elements of our personality and ego, learning to face, accept and transform them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra,  </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (the Sun is the ruler of Leo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso <strong>on Tuesday</strong>, <i>Mercury starts to slow down again (“stationing”).</i><i> </i>It’s getting ready to come to a halt, ending its 3.5-week retrograde phase, on Sunday, April 15th (more on that later this week…). For the next 10 days (<strong>until April 20th</strong><b>)</b>, we need to be patient with ourselves and others -- especially if there is a connection with communication or transportation, and their associated technologies. This is not the best time to start anything brand-new, especially if it contains new information that needs to be processed.\r\n\r\nWe might experience delays or misunderstandings, and things tend to feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time to get ready for travel somewhere -- especially if you intend to use public transportation or drive (For more details on Mercury Shadow Phases and Retrogrades, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">click here</a>)\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets (or angles) <em>in 4-6 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong>, <b>Libra</b>, </em></i><b><i>Capricorn, </i></b><i>or</i><i> </i><b><i>Cancer.</i></b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (April 11th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <strong>until 2:40pm EDT</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:03am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Friday evening (April 6th) on; it will remain strong until this Sunday.</strong> We tend to feel passionate, super-creative, and just plain energized at this time -- we have tons of vitality and warmth.\r\n\r\nThis helps us bring people together for mutual pleasure and benefit; there is also a feeling of flow around creativity and manifesting something real... If you knew it would be easy, what would you pick to create?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of <b>Taurus,</b></i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?</i><i> If so, you may feel more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars rules Aries) </i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday morning</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Sun/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 8:15am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday night</strong>. This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed if we’re to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\nThis aspect brings us to a fork in the road: One path takes us toward personal goals and helps us inspire others by being direct and enthusiastic. The other leads to greater understanding of intimacy, and of how we share our resources with others.\r\n\r\nThere\'s not necessarily a \"correct path\", as both can lead to a deeper exploration of the themes in question. Whichever one you decide to walk, go deeper rather than faster -- empower yourself and others by connecting in an authentic way, being honest about your motivations.\r\n\r\nOne more thing: as best as you can, carefully evaluate any projects before getting involved -- awareness is key with this aspect. Ask yourself: What is needed? How can we serve the broader view?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 22-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules of Leo; Jupiter rules Sagittarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 10:55am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 4 hours, <strong>until 2:40pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday late morning and early afternoon ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon sextiles Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 2:40pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces, </i></b>where it will journey <strong>until Friday late evening</strong>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (April 12th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <strong>all day</strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:26pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday night</strong>. This is an opportunity for compassion and kindness in our social interactions. We are more attuned to the subtleties of human interaction, and are more inclined to naturally cooperate with others. We tend to \"feel\" each other on an energetic level now; a sensitive approach is recommended.\r\n\r\nWe also have an opportunity to connect to our values and gifts from intuition, and use our imagination to attract what we want: When you daydream, what would you like to experience? How would it feel?\r\n\r\nRemember: opportunities are openings; they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 13-17 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune rules Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday evening,</strong> <em>the Balsamic Moon phase begins</em> -- when the Moon reaches 11 degrees of <strong>Pisces.</strong><i> </i>This lasts <b>until Sunday late evening</b>, when the New Moon in <b>Aries </b>becomes exact (for those of you who are impatiently waiting for my New Moon video, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here</a> after April 10th). We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our intuition.\r\n\r\nFor some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes. This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (April 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <strong>until 11:25pm EDT</strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 7:27am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 16 hours, <strong>until 11:25pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to explore any beliefs connected to past experiences that left you feeling disempowered: How could a compassionate approach to the past allow for a new perspective?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday all day and evening ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon trines Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 11:25pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries,</i></b> where it will journey <strong>until Monday very early morning (April 16th)</strong>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<b> </b>\r\n\r\nAlso<strong> on Friday, </strong><em>Mercury Station intensifies in almost 5 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> -- as Mercury is preparing to come to halt on Sunday (ending its 3.5-week retrograde phase). During the station phase, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments once Mercury is moving direct again (to be more precise, during the shadow phase that follows).\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned on Tuesday already,<strong> for the next 6 days</strong>, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait <strong>until after May 3rd</strong>, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 3-6 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (April 14th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b>Aries</b></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Friday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday early morning</strong>, <em>a long-term, opportune Jupiter/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:58am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday (March 19th) on; it will remain strong until Tuesday (May 1st)</strong>. This is second time this year we will experience this aspect -- think back to January, when it last occurred: In what ways were you able to deepen your relationships, business and personal alike?\r\n\r\nA positive attitude and deeper trust in our connections with others gives us the chance to build something meaningful and share our passions. We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support professional or personal goals.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Where could I really dig in to solve a problem? How might passion help deliver on my long-term goals? How could other people\'s resources support my ability to create transformation? How might they help me stand in my power?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>Saturday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Mars/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:27pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until</strong></span> <strong>next week</strong><strong>, </strong><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>Wednesday evening (April 18th)</strong>. </span>This gives us the opportunity to take actions that are in alignment with our dreams and ideals. This is also an opportunity for boundaries to dissolve -- to open and relax.\r\n\r\nCreative or spiritual activities might be a good fit with this planetary connection. We may feel the need to daydream or inspire others. What might it mean, to take \"inspired action\"? What might show up in the world? What if you allowed the Universe to co-create with you?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <span style=\"color: #808080;\">13-17 degrees</span> of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Pisces,  Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>?

If so, you will be more affected by this station. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>, since Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (April 15th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b>Aries</b></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Friday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 5:21am EDT</strong>, <i>Mercury comes to a halt in almost 5 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries </i></b>and <i>slowly starts its direct motion</i><i>, </i>after its 3.5-week retrograde phase<i>.</i> As best as you can, go with the flow, keep an open mind and pay attention to anything that is in your face right now -- you may need to address those issues again, when Mercury moves through its shadow phase…more on that later.\r\n\r\nWe are slowly ready to shift our focus back towards the outer world again, taking in new information and sharing from a new perspective. What did you learn about your inner dialog over the past 3 weeks? How can you share your newly found inner understanding in a healthy way with the world? What needs to be addressed regarding your personal goals and desires? With a direct and passionate way of approaching communications? With any new-found understanding of your own thinking structures?\r\n\r\nWhen Mercury gets back to its regular speed (<b>by April 20th</b>), communication and transportation will get back to normal; the same is true of any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets (or angles) in 3-6 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Libra.</i></b>\r\n\r\nAs you may recall, I mentioned <i>Mercury shadow phases</i> on Tuesday: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it\'s best to avoid the periods shortly before and after Mercury goes retrograde. This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) This particular <b>shadow phase ends on May 3rd</b>. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">Click here to read my blog on the subject</a>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening, at 9:57pm EDT:</strong> the <em>Moon aligns with the Sun in 26 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em>. This is the beginning of a new Moon cycle; anything brand-new started in the next two weeks has the chance to get off to a great start. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">Also feel free to watch my New Moon video on the subject</a> (will be posted by April 10th)\r\n\r\nThe <i>New Moon in fast-paced, enthusiastic, courageous </i><b><i>Aries</i></b>, asks us to connect to our personal goals and get very clear on what we want to create for the next 28 days. This is an action-packed energy, with the focus on ourselves -- we tend to do first and think later -- we have a tremendous amount of energy and want to sprint.\r\n\r\nAries is the first sign of the zodiac, and thus represents new beginnings, initiation, breaking new ground and birthing new forms. An <em>Aries New Moon</em> is thus an especially fertile time for seeding new projects and directions.\r\n\r\nWe generally don\'t know what will happen when we start something brand-new -- something we have never done before -- and this can bring up insecurities and nervousness, sometimes maybe even plain fear or even panic.\r\n\r\nAries and its ruling planet Mars correspond with the quest to develop courage -- not fearlessness, but the conscious choice to act in spite of fear. Some call this the \"Warrior Energy\".\r\n\r\nOne of the many ways we can demonstrate courage is allow ourselves to be in a state of \"not knowing\" or \"beginners mind\". At these times, we are more present, and sometimes a state of heightened creative potential arises. <b>Ask yourself: </b>What might come forth if I suspended my opinions, beliefs, judgments and concepts, just for a moment, here and there? Could I be brave enough to take a rest from needing to know, just for right now?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars is the ruler of Aries; it\'s currently in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, sextiling Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>.</i> This aspect asks us to create a solid relationship with our long-term ambitions, while allowing for our inner divinity (Source/God) to guide us toward what feels intuitively right to us, so we can go after it, and manifest it.\r\n\r\nIt also bears a cosmic message about relating to our long-term goals in a loving, kind manner -- softening our approach perhaps, releasing rigid \"shoulds\" and any obligations not aligned with our highest calling.\r\n\r\nIn the same spirit, we are also asked to slow down and focus on quality over quantity, sustainability over novelty, ease over force. <b>Questions you can ask yourself here:</b> What structures might support my emotional/intuitive well-being? What actions would connect my ambitious self to my \"soul-self\"?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars also aligns with Pluto and Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>. This combo brings our long-term business dealings into deep and sharp focus, especially when it comes to manifesting something real (tangible, sustainable, meaningful, etc.)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nFurther, anything dysfunctional within our businesses, governments or long-term goals invites investigation. We are being asked to eliminate or transform anything no longer aligned with our Soul’s passions. This is for our highest good -- individually and collectively.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I felt fully empowered from within and felt absolutely passionate about life, what would I go about “building”? What would be truly meaningful to my Soul in the long run?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon aligns with Uranus in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> -- </i><i>and this is also part of a square with Pluto and Mars in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>. This underlines the message that we are ready to take the next big step on our path. Uranus symbolizes the desire for freedom, equality, and (most of all) progress.\r\n\r\nIt takes courage to leave familiar territory.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span><b>Ask yourself:</b> What is the next step on my journey toward becoming an ever-stronger, healthy individual, one who knows themselves, and is not afraid to go after their personal goals and desires? What if it were possible to accomplish that whilst staying focused on my long-term achievements?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> What might that look like?</span>\r\n\r\n<i>This alignment between Uranus and the New Moon</i> asks us to break away from anything keeping us from stepping up our game -- whatever keeps us in a rut.\r\n\r\nShifts are happening everywhere. It\'s time to develop some courage and awareness: Where do you want to step up? Where do you want to break out? If you made a big leap, where would you most like to land? Could you surprise yourself once a day, for the next 28 days?\r\n\r\n<i>Pluto is also stationing -- </i>and thus exalted -- bringing extra intensity to this process. Pluto shows us where we give our power away to others and where we abuse it ourselves. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What structures no longer empower me? What am I most aware of right now? If I\'m honest, what will almost inevitably break down over the long haul, simply because it is no longer sustainable?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury has been retrograde for the past three weeks, </i>guiding us to reevaluate our thinking about personal goals and how we want to move things forward. Mercury\'s retrograde directed us to deal with unfinished business around past or present dealings, <i>to acknowledge what we learned, be thankful for the growth we experienced, and move forward.</i>\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> is all about “Beginner’s Mind” -- open, eager, willing to be surprised. The fewer preconceptions we have, the more possibilities we see, the path widens as we walk it. The aspect also reminds us that communication starts within our own minds -- our inner dialog is the seed for all outer communication.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury will be moving direct on the day of the New Moon</i>, giving the green light to anything that was in a holding pattern for the past 3-6 weeks. That said, anything developed from scratch (or that first came to light) during the retrograde phase is best left on \"pause\", until the shadow phase ends on May 3rd.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe are also cautioned not to be hasty, as <i>Mercury still squares Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>; the message here is \"take it steady\". <b>Ask yourself:</b> What benefits might I reap from taking it one step at a time?\r\n\r\nWe\'ll be dealing with a lot of Stations this month: Mercury, Saturn, Pluto. Keep in mind that these station phases create awareness. When preparing to go retrograde, they in turn prepare us to gain inner clarity and connect to the energies from within (i.e., more intuitively). In this case, that would apply to Saturn and Pluto.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, when going direct, after a retrograde phase, a station prepares us to move forward (in this instance, that applies to Mercury.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>On April 17th,</strong> <em>Saturn goes into its yearly retrograde, this time at 9º <strong>Capricorn.</strong></em> It will turn direct on Sept. 6th at 2.5º, and get back to that starting point of 9º Capricorn on December 12th.\r\n\r\nSaturn in Capricorn exposes the consequences of our long-term ambitions.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>Saturn always calls us to become our own authority, our own judge of what is right, true, and useful long-term. This can be very different from what society, other authority figures, or our country tells us.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWhile I\'m on the subject: the Saturn and Pluto Retrogrades were covered in considerable detail in the last Monthly Forecasting Forum -- and if you want to know how this planetary movement might impact you personally, feel free to purchase the video of the last webinar -- we applied the Pluto and Saturn Retrograde phases to our own birth charts! <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">Click here for more info or to purchase the recording</a>\r\n\r\nThere is also a <b>Special</b> <strong>Offer</strong> linked to that recording<b>:</b> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for the next Forum</a> <b>by April 17th</b>, I will include that Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar for FREE ;-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<em>During the upcoming Retrograde phases,</em> it may be advisable for us to keep the focus more on ourselves, and check in frequently with our inner compass. We also get a chance to see what works (and what doesn\'t) in certain areas of our lives; we can take stock, and look to see what needs a do-over (or at least a reassessment).\r\n\r\nLast but not least, we have <i>Chiron in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> -- this is the last degree of the sign and the aspect is  therefore exalted. We are approaching the end of 7 years of Chiron in Pisces!\r\n\r\nThink back over those last 7 years and <strong>ask yourself:</strong> What have I learned about my relationship to my higher Self/intuition? What have I learned about the emotional body? About the energetic body? What do I know about my inner healing process that I didn\'t know before 2011?\r\n\r\n<i>Chiron will move into </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> </i><b>on April 17th</b> -- the same day that Saturn comes to a halt -- and will remain in this enthusiastic sign until the end of September.\r\n\r\nWe will go over this upcoming shift in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how Chiron\'s journey through Aries, (and Uranus\'s journey through Taurus) will impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. The next Forum will be on <b>Monday, April 30th</b> at 3pm EDT/8pm BST (London-time); <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">for more info or to register, click here</a>\r\n\r\n<b>And of course, there\'s that Special Offer, I mentioned already:</b> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> <b>by April 17th</b>, you will also get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs a reminder to <strong>Star </strong>or<strong> SuperStar members:</strong> you will be automatically signed up for the Forum and will receive a link via email to join the live webinar and also for the video presentation. Watch out for those emails (and check your junk mail, if you don\'t see it in your inbox ;-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAlright, let\'s turn our attention back to this <i>New Moon: </i> we are helped to go beyond the familiar, the comfortable, the customary. Here are some more questions you can <b>ask yourself for the next two to four weeks:</b> What is my vision? What do I want to create now? What needs to change to make this happen?\r\n\r\nThe highest expression of the <b>Aries</b> energy is expressed when we lead others by example and inspiration -- they follow because they see our courage, our enthusiasm for life, and they want to be a part of that. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What if dared to lead responsibly and with integrity? What if I were the one who inspires others and makes a difference? What is the smallest difference I could make? What is the largest?\r\n\r\nDo your best to tap into the very core of your being — your vision, your purpose — and don\'t be fooled: it is an essential part of the collective journey. Be an agent of change! Have the courage to step up and step out!\r\nTo quote Hillel: “If not you, then who? If not now, when?”\r\n\r\n<b>Some bonus questions you can ask yourself for the next 2 weeks:</b> What do I see that needs changing? What do I feel most passionate about? Where do I need to take a stand? What if I approached things with 5% more maturity? What is the outcome that serves long-term? <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> As best as you can, commit to something larger than yourself. Listen to your inner voice and bring your passionate Self to the world. Remember that each of us makes this journey in our own way, in our own time, so focus on yourself -- <em>your</em> path, <em>your</em> truth -- rather than on what lies beyond your control.\r\n\r\nSpring is an excellent time to do a cleanse on all levels.<b> Ask yourself:</b> What changes have already been in the back of my mind for months now? What first step looks inviting?\r\n\r\nRemember, the ultimate goal of this New Moon is to tap into our inner warrior — a mature warrior that generates and protects, rather than the shadow warrior who exploits and destroys -- who is courageous, rather than combative, assertive rather than aggressive.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">To learn more about this month\'s New Moon, please click here to watch my video. </a>(will be posted by April 10th)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 24-28 degrees of either </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>?

This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to <strong>set some powerful intentions</strong> for this month\'s Moon cycle (this process is especially powerful with the <i>New Moon in </i><b><i>Aries)</i></b>. Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <i>not</i> during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase.\r\n\r\nSo this month, we have two periods that are great<i> times to set intentions:</i> the first one is the roughly four hours that lie between <b>9:57pm Sunday late evening (April 15th) </b>and<b> 1:59am Monday very early morning (April 16th).</b>\r\n\r\nIf you aren’t able to set intentions during that time period, wait a few hours, and do so between <b>4:51am on Monday and 6:05pm EDT, Tuesday April 17th. </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more info on setting New Moon Intentions click here</a><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<b>Here’s a few bonus questions:</b> Where could I have “beginner’s mind”?

Mercury follows suit, beginning its own Station phase on Tuesday, that in turn intensifies on Friday (it will come to a complete halt -- ending it\'s retrograde phase -- on Sunday morning).\r\n\r\nIn other news, the Balsamic Moon phase becomes exact on Thursday evening, and the New Moon in Aries becomes exact on Sunday, late in the evening.\r\n\r\nAnd of course, the week wouldn\'t be complete without some <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases -- though there are only two this week: the first on Wednesday, late in the morning (it lasts for almost 4 hours) and a longer one that starts Friday morning and runs for almost 16 hours.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (April 9th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><strong>Capricorn</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 2:50am EDT. </strong><strong>At that point</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <b><strong>until Wednesday afternoon</strong>. </b>The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Monday</strong>, <b> </b><i>Saturn slows down (stations) in 9 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i> <i>\"Stationing\" is when a planet </i>moves more slowly through the sky. When a planet stations, its energy becomes...\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\r\n<strong> GET IT ALL!

Saturn also represents our structures, responsibilities, commitments and ability to \"do\" life, on life\'s terms.\r\n\r\nAs spirit beings in a physical world, it\'s best to observe the laws of the physical world. The sooner we learn to \"play by the rules\", the easier life gets. Saturn also represents time and the \"domain\" of time: growing up, maturing, understanding our limitations, setting healthy boundaries with others, living with integrity, being authentic and truthful, being serious and focused on building something of value to society.\r\n\r\nSaturn is our teacher. If you had a cosmic teacher, what would your personal \"earth class\" be in, right now? Where are you being asked to look at your long-term goals and ambitons and became more mature? What calls for a commitment towards building a solid foundation? What will time do?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during the time of the station, bring flexibility and open-mindedness to any frustrations. The station-phase will last <b>until April 24th</b> -- and Saturn will start its 5-month retrograde phase, next week Tuesday, on April 17th…\r\n\r\nFeel free to watch our mp4 video presentation about April\'s Saturn and Pluto Station and Retrograde phases in relationship to our own Birth charts...To purchase this webinar, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">click here. </a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Special Offer:</strong> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-) <b>Please note </b>that we will be talking about Chiron moving into Aries and Uranus moving into Taurus, in our next Forum. Major shifts ahead!\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in </i><b><i>7-11 degrees of  Capricorn, Cancer, Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this station. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>, since Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (April 10th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <strong>all day</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday night/</strong>Wednesday very early morning, <em>a challenging Sun/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:54am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening (April 7th) on; it will remain strong until this Friday night (April 13th)</strong>. What we identify ourselves with could now be challenged. This aspect forces us to confront our will, power, assertion, and authority.\r\n\r\nComing into focus now: the relationship with a father- or other important male-figures. We may face the need to be more independent, assertive, and autonomous.\r\n\r\nWe may alienate others with a controlling, jealous, or overbearing manner. This manner stems from a deep fear of letting go and surrendering to the idea that some things cannot be directed or controlled. We are learning to detach from (let go of) something or someone that no longer serves us -- the \"something\" could include attitudes.\r\n\r\nThis fear may lead us to compulsive, suspicious, or difficult behavior, costing us the very thing that we hold dear. As best as you can, open yourself up to the power of love within. When you do, you will discover your own strength, and rework your very identity. Perhaps most importantly, this aspect puts us face to face with <i>exactly</i> what\'s been holding us back from leading a fuller, more meaningful life.\r\n\r\nWe may have to make some changes or adjustments between our immediate personal desires and our long-term goals. As best as you can, be open to receiving feedback from others during this time.\r\n\r\nIf you feel pressured into doing something or you feel a power struggle build, as best as you can, get centered, get grounded and open your heart and mind. This aspect is a major growth opportunity for us: we struggle with buried elements of our personality and ego, learning to face, accept and transform them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra,  </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (the Sun is the ruler of Leo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso <strong>on Tuesday</strong>, <i>Mercury starts to slow down again (“stationing”).</i><i> </i>It’s getting ready to come to a halt, ending its 3.5-week retrograde phase, on Sunday, April 15th (more on that later this week…). For the next 10 days (<strong>until April 20th</strong><b>)</b>, we need to be patient with ourselves and others -- especially if there is a connection with communication or transportation, and their associated technologies. This is not the best time to start anything brand-new, especially if it contains new information that needs to be processed.\r\n\r\nWe might experience delays or misunderstandings, and things tend to feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time to get ready for travel somewhere -- especially if you intend to use public transportation or drive (For more details on Mercury Shadow Phases and Retrogrades, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">click here</a>)\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets (or angles) <em>in 4-6 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong>, <b>Libra</b>, </em></i><b><i>Capricorn, </i></b><i>or</i><i> </i><b><i>Cancer.</i></b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (April 11th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <strong>until 2:40pm EDT</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:03am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Friday evening (April 6th) on; it will remain strong until this Sunday.</strong> We tend to feel passionate, super-creative, and just plain energized at this time -- we have tons of vitality and warmth.\r\n\r\nThis helps us bring people together for mutual pleasure and benefit; there is also a feeling of flow around creativity and manifesting something real... If you knew it would be easy, what would you pick to create?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of <b>Taurus,</b></i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?</i><i> If so, you may feel more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars rules Aries) </i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday morning</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Sun/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 8:15am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday night</strong>. This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed if we’re to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\nThis aspect brings us to a fork in the road: One path takes us toward personal goals and helps us inspire others by being direct and enthusiastic. The other leads to greater understanding of intimacy, and of how we share our resources with others.\r\n\r\nThere\'s not necessarily a \"correct path\", as both can lead to a deeper exploration of the themes in question. Whichever one you decide to walk, go deeper rather than faster -- empower yourself and others by connecting in an authentic way, being honest about your motivations.\r\n\r\nOne more thing: as best as you can, carefully evaluate any projects before getting involved -- awareness is key with this aspect. Ask yourself: What is needed? How can we serve the broader view?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 22-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules of Leo; Jupiter rules Sagittarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 10:55am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 4 hours, <strong>until 2:40pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday late morning and early afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 2:40pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces, </i></b>where it will journey <strong>until Friday late evening</strong>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (April 12th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <strong>all day</strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:26pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday night</strong>. This is an opportunity for compassion and kindness in our social interactions. We are more attuned to the subtleties of human interaction, and are more inclined to naturally cooperate with others. We tend to \"feel\" each other on an energetic level now; a sensitive approach is recommended.\r\n\r\nWe also have an opportunity to connect to our values and gifts from intuition, and use our imagination to attract what we want: When you daydream, what would you like to experience? How would it feel?\r\n\r\nRemember: opportunities are openings; they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 13-17 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune rules Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday evening,</strong> <em>the Balsamic Moon phase begins</em> -- when the Moon reaches 11 degrees of <strong>Pisces.</strong><i> </i>This lasts <b>until Sunday late evening</b>, when the New Moon in <b>Aries </b>becomes exact (for those of you who are impatiently waiting for my New Moon video, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here</a> after April 10th). We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our intuition.\r\n\r\nFor some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes. This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (April 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <strong>until 11:25pm EDT</strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 7:27am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 16 hours, <strong>until 11:25pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to explore any beliefs connected to past experiences that left you feeling disempowered: How could a compassionate approach to the past allow for a new perspective?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday all day and evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 11:25pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries,</i></b> where it will journey <strong>until Monday very early morning (April 16th)</strong>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<b> </b>\r\n\r\nAlso<strong> on Friday, </strong><em>Mercury Station intensifies in almost 5 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> -- as Mercury is preparing to come to halt on Sunday (ending its 3.5-week retrograde phase). During the station phase, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments once Mercury is moving direct again (to be more precise, during the shadow phase that follows).\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned on Tuesday already,<strong> for the next 6 days</strong>, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait <strong>until after May 3rd</strong>, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 3-6 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (April 14th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b>Aries</b></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Friday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday early morning</strong>, <em>a long-term, opportune Jupiter/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:58am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday (March 19th) on; it will remain strong until Tuesday (May 1st)</strong>. This is second time this year we will experience this aspect -- think back to January, when it last occurred: In what ways were you able to deepen your relationships, business and personal alike?\r\n\r\nA positive attitude and deeper trust in our connections with others gives us the chance to build something meaningful and share our passions. We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support professional or personal goals.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Where could I really dig in to solve a problem? How might passion help deliver on my long-term goals? How could other people\'s resources support my ability to create transformation? How might they help me stand in my power?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>?

This is also an opportunity for boundaries to dissolve -- to open and relax.\r\n\r\nCreative or spiritual activities might be a good fit with this planetary connection. We may feel the need to daydream or inspire others. What might it mean, to take \"inspired action\"? What might show up in the world? What if you allowed the Universe to co-create with you?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <span style=\"color: #808080;\">13-17 degrees</span> of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Pisces,  Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>?

What will time do?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during the time of the station, bring flexibility and open-mindedness to any frustrations. The station-phase will feel most intense until <b>until April 20th, </b>but altogether, it will run <b>until April 24th</b> -- and Saturn will start its 5-month retrograde phase, next week Tuesday (<b>on April 17th)</b>… more on that next week ;-)\r\n\r\nFeel free to watch our mp4 video presentation about April\'s Saturn and Pluto Station and Retrograde phases in relationship to our own Birth charts...To purchase this webinar, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">click here. </a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Special Offer:</strong> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-) <b>Please note </b>that we will be talking about Chiron moving into Aries and Uranus moving into Taurus, in our next Forum.

What did you learn about your inner dialog over the past 3 weeks? How can you share your newly found inner understanding in a healthy way with the world? What needs to be addressed regarding your personal goals and desires? With a direct and passionate way of approaching communications? With any new-found understanding of your own thinking structures?\r\n\r\nWhen Mercury gets back to its regular speed (<b>by April 20th</b>), communication and transportation will get back to normal; the same is true of any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets (or angles) in 3-6 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Libra.</i></b>\r\n\r\nAs you may recall, I mentioned <i>Mercury shadow phases</i> on Tuesday: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it\'s best to avoid the periods shortly before and after Mercury goes retrograde. This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) This particular <b>shadow phase ends on May 3rd</b>. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">Click here to read my blog on the subject</a>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening, at 9:57pm EDT:</strong> the <em>Moon aligns with the Sun in 26 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em>. This is the beginning of a new Moon cycle; anything brand-new started in the next two weeks has the chance to get off to a great start. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">Also feel free to watch my New Moon video on the subject</a> (will be posted by April 10th)\r\n\r\nThe <i>New Moon in fast-paced, enthusiastic, courageous </i><b><i>Aries</i></b>, asks us to connect to our personal goals and get very clear on what we want to create for the next 28 days. This is an action-packed energy, with the focus on ourselves -- we tend to do first and think later -- we have a tremendous amount of energy and want to sprint.\r\n\r\nAries is the first sign of the zodiac, and thus represents new beginnings, initiation, breaking new ground and birthing new forms. An <em>Aries New Moon</em> is thus an especially fertile time for seeding new projects and directions.\r\n\r\nWe generally don\'t know what will happen when we start something brand-new -- something we have never done before -- and this can bring up insecurities and nervousness, sometimes maybe even plain fear or even panic.\r\n\r\nAries and its ruling planet Mars correspond with the quest to develop courage -- not fearlessness, but the conscious choice to act in spite of fear. Some call this the \"Warrior Energy\".\r\n\r\nOne of the many ways we can demonstrate courage is allow ourselves to be in a state of \"not knowing\" or \"beginners mind\". At these times, we are more present, and sometimes a state of heightened creative potential arises. <b>Ask yourself: </b>What might come forth if I suspended my opinions, beliefs, judgments and concepts, just for a moment, here and there? Could I be brave enough to take a rest from needing to know, just for right now?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars is the ruler of Aries; it\'s currently in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, sextiling Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>.</i> This aspect asks us to create a solid relationship with our long-term ambitions, while allowing for our inner divinity (Source/God) to guide us toward what feels intuitively right to us, so we can go after it, and manifest it.\r\n\r\nIt also bears a cosmic message about relating to our long-term goals in a loving, kind manner -- softening our approach perhaps, releasing rigid \"shoulds\" and any obligations not aligned with our highest calling.\r\n\r\nIn the same spirit, we are also asked to slow down and focus on quality over quantity, sustainability over novelty, ease over force. <b>Questions you can ask yourself here:</b> What structures might support my emotional/intuitive well-being? What actions would connect my ambitious self to my \"soul-self\"?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars also aligns with Pluto and Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>. This combo brings our long-term business dealings into deep and sharp focus, especially when it comes to manifesting something real (tangible, sustainable, meaningful, etc.)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nFurther, anything dysfunctional within our businesses, governments or long-term goals invites investigation. We are being asked to eliminate or transform anything no longer aligned with our Soul’s passions. This is for our highest good -- individually and collectively.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I felt fully empowered from within and felt absolutely passionate about life, what would I go about “building”? What would be truly meaningful to my Soul in the long run?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon aligns with Uranus in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> -- </i><i>and this is also part of a square with Pluto and Mars in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>. This underlines the message that we are ready to take the next big step on our path. Uranus symbolizes the desire for freedom, equality, and (most of all) progress.\r\n\r\nIt takes courage to leave familiar territory.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span><b>Ask yourself:</b> What is the next step on my journey toward becoming an ever-stronger, healthy individual, one who knows themselves, and is not afraid to go after their personal goals and desires? What if it were possible to accomplish that whilst staying focused on my long-term achievements?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> What might that look like?</span>\r\n\r\n<i>This alignment between Uranus and the New Moon</i> asks us to break away from anything keeping us from stepping up our game -- whatever keeps us in a rut.\r\n\r\nShifts are happening everywhere. It\'s time to develop some courage and awareness: Where do you want to step up? Where do you want to break out? If you made a big leap, where would you most like to land? Could you surprise yourself once a day, for the next 28 days?\r\n\r\n<i>Pluto is also stationing -- </i>and thus exalted -- bringing extra intensity to this process. Pluto shows us where we give our power away to others and where we abuse it ourselves. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What structures no longer empower me? What am I most aware of right now? If I\'m honest, what will almost inevitably break down over the long haul, simply because it is no longer sustainable?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury has been retrograde for the past three weeks, </i>guiding us to reevaluate our thinking about personal goals and how we want to move things forward. Mercury\'s retrograde directed us to deal with unfinished business around past or present dealings, <i>to acknowledge what we learned, be thankful for the growth we experienced, and move forward.</i>\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> is all about “Beginner’s Mind” -- open, eager, willing to be surprised. The fewer preconceptions we have, the more possibilities we see, the path widens as we walk it. The aspect also reminds us that communication starts within our own minds -- our inner dialog is the seed for all outer communication.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury will be moving direct on the day of the New Moon</i>, giving the green light to anything that was in a holding pattern for the past 3-6 weeks. That said, anything developed from scratch (or that first came to light) during the retrograde phase is best left on \"pause\", until the shadow phase ends on May 3rd.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe are also cautioned not to be hasty, as <i>Mercury still squares Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>; the message here is \"take it steady\". <b>Ask yourself:</b> What benefits might I reap from taking it one step at a time?\r\n\r\nWe\'ll be dealing with a lot of Stations this month: Mercury, Saturn, Pluto. Keep in mind that these station phases create awareness. When preparing to go retrograde, they in turn prepare us to gain inner clarity and connect to the energies from within (i.e., more intuitively). In this case, that would apply to Saturn and Pluto.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, when going direct, after a retrograde phase, a station prepares us to move forward (in this instance, that applies to Mercury.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>On April 17th,</strong> <em>Saturn goes into its yearly retrograde, this time at 9º <strong>Capricorn.</strong></em> It will turn direct on Sept. 6th at 2.5º, and get back to that starting point of 9º Capricorn on December 12th.\r\n\r\nSaturn in Capricorn exposes the consequences of our long-term ambitions.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>Saturn always calls us to become our own authority, our own judge of what is right, true, and useful long-term. This can be very different from what society, other authority figures, or our country tells us.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWhile I\'m on the subject: the Saturn and Pluto Retrogrades were covered in considerable detail in the last Monthly Forecasting Forum -- and if you want to know how this planetary movement might impact you personally, feel free to purchase the video of the last webinar -- we applied the Pluto and Saturn Retrograde phases to our own birth charts! <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">Click here for more info or to purchase the recording</a>\r\n\r\nThere is also a <b>Special</b> <strong>Offer</strong> linked to that recording<b>:</b> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for the next Forum</a> <b>by April 17th</b>, I will include that Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar for FREE ;-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<em>During the upcoming Retrograde phases,</em> it may be advisable for us to keep the focus more on ourselves, and check in frequently with our inner compass. We also get a chance to see what works (and what doesn\'t) in certain areas of our lives; we can take stock, and look to see what needs a do-over (or at least a reassessment).\r\n\r\nLast but not least, we have <i>Chiron in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> -- this is the last degree of the sign and the aspect is  therefore exalted. We are approaching the end of 7 years of Chiron in Pisces!\r\n\r\nThink back over those last 7 years and <strong>ask yourself:</strong> What have I learned about my relationship to my higher Self/intuition? What have I learned about the emotional body? About the energetic body? What do I know about my inner healing process that I didn\'t know before 2011?\r\n\r\n<i>Chiron will move into </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> </i><b>on April 17th</b> -- the same day that Saturn comes to a halt -- and will remain in this enthusiastic sign until the end of September.\r\n\r\nWe will go over this upcoming shift in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how Chiron\'s journey through Aries, (and Uranus\'s journey through Taurus) will impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. The next Forum will be on <b>Monday, April 30th</b> at 3pm EDT/8pm BST (London-time); <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">for more info or to register, click here</a>\r\n\r\n<b>And of course, there\'s that Special Offer, I mentioned already:</b> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> <b>by April 17th</b>, you will also get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs a reminder to <strong>Star </strong>or<strong> SuperStar members:</strong> you will be automatically signed up for the Forum and will receive a link via email to join the live webinar and also for the video presentation. Watch out for those emails (and check your junk mail, if you don\'t see it in your inbox ;-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAlright, let\'s turn our attention back to this <i>New Moon: </i> we are helped to go beyond the familiar, the comfortable, the customary. Here are some more questions you can <b>ask yourself for the next two to four weeks:</b> What is my vision? What do I want to create now? What needs to change to make this happen?\r\n\r\nThe highest expression of the <b>Aries</b> energy is expressed when we lead others by example and inspiration -- they follow because they see our courage, our enthusiasm for life, and they want to be a part of that. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What if dared to lead responsibly and with integrity? What if I were the one who inspires others and makes a difference? What is the smallest difference I could make? What is the largest?\r\n\r\nDo your best to tap into the very core of your being — your vision, your purpose — and don\'t be fooled: it is an essential part of the collective journey. Be an agent of change! Have the courage to step up and step out!\r\nTo quote Hillel: “If not you, then who? If not now, when?”\r\n\r\n<b>Some bonus questions you can ask yourself for the next 2 weeks:</b> What do I see that needs changing? What do I feel most passionate about? Where do I need to take a stand? What if I approached things with 5% more maturity? What is the outcome that serves long-term? <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> As best as you can, commit to something larger than yourself. Listen to your inner voice and bring your passionate Self to the world. Remember that each of us makes this journey in our own way, in our own time, so focus on yourself -- <em>your</em> path, <em>your</em> truth -- rather than on what lies beyond your control.\r\n\r\nSpring is an excellent time to do a cleanse on all levels.<b> Ask yourself:</b> What changes have already been in the back of my mind for months now? What first step looks inviting?\r\n\r\nRemember, the ultimate goal of this New Moon is to tap into our inner warrior — a mature warrior that generates and protects, rather than the shadow warrior who exploits and destroys -- who is courageous, rather than combative, assertive rather than aggressive.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">To learn more about this month\'s New Moon, please click here to watch my video. </a>(will be posted by April 10th)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 24-28 degrees of either </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>?

Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <i>not</i> during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase.\r\n\r\nSo this month, we have two periods that are great<i> times to set intentions:</i> the first one is the roughly four hours that lie between <b>9:57pm Sunday late evening (April 15th) </b>and<b> 1:59am Monday very early morning (April 16th).</b>\r\n\r\nIf you aren’t able to set intentions during that time period, wait a few hours, and do so between <b>4:51am on Monday and 6:05pm EDT, Tuesday April 17th. </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more info on setting New Moon Intentions click here</a><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<b>Here’s a few bonus questions:</b> Where could I have “beginner’s mind”?

Mercury follows suit, beginning its own Station phase on Tuesday, that in turn intensifies on Friday (it will come to a complete halt -- ending it\'s retrograde phase -- on Sunday morning).\r\n\r\nIn other news, the Balsamic Moon phase becomes exact on Thursday evening, and the New Moon in Aries becomes exact on Sunday, late in the evening.\r\n\r\nAnd of course, the week wouldn\'t be complete without some <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases -- though there are only two this week: the first on Wednesday, late in the morning (it lasts for almost 4 hours) and a longer one that starts Friday morning and runs for almost 16 hours.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (April 9th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><strong>Capricorn</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 2:50am EDT. </strong><strong>At that point</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <b><strong>until Wednesday afternoon</strong>. </b>The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Monday</strong>, <b> </b><i>Saturn slows down (stations) in 9 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i> <i>\"Stationing\" is when a planet </i>moves more slowly through the sky. When a planet stations, its energy becomes...\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\r\n<strong> GET IT ALL!

Saturn also represents our structures, responsibilities, commitments and ability to \"do\" life, on life\'s terms.\r\n\r\nAs spirit beings in a physical world, it\'s best to observe the laws of the physical world. The sooner we learn to \"play by the rules\", the easier life gets. Saturn also represents time and the \"domain\" of time: growing up, maturing, understanding our limitations, setting healthy boundaries with others, living with integrity, being authentic and truthful, being serious and focused on building something of value to society.\r\n\r\nSaturn is our teacher. If you had a cosmic teacher, what would your personal \"earth class\" be in, right now? Where are you being asked to look at your long-term goals and ambitons and became more mature? What calls for a commitment towards building a solid foundation? What will time do?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during the time of the station, bring flexibility and open-mindedness to any frustrations. The station-phase will last <b>until April 24th</b> -- and Saturn will start its 5-month retrograde phase, next week Tuesday, on April 17th…\r\n\r\nFeel free to watch our mp4 video presentation about April\'s Saturn and Pluto Station and Retrograde phases in relationship to our own Birth charts...To purchase this webinar, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">click here. </a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Special Offer:</strong> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-) <b>Please note </b>that we will be talking about Chiron moving into Aries and Uranus moving into Taurus, in our next Forum. Major shifts ahead!\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in </i><b><i>7-11 degrees of  Capricorn, Cancer, Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this station. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>, since Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (April 10th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <strong>all day</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday night/</strong>Wednesday very early morning, <em>a challenging Sun/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:54am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening (April 7th) on; it will remain strong until this Friday night (April 13th)</strong>. What we identify ourselves with could now be challenged. This aspect forces us to confront our will, power, assertion, and authority.\r\n\r\nComing into focus now: the relationship with a father- or other important male-figures. We may face the need to be more independent, assertive, and autonomous.\r\n\r\nWe may alienate others with a controlling, jealous, or overbearing manner. This manner stems from a deep fear of letting go and surrendering to the idea that some things cannot be directed or controlled. We are learning to detach from (let go of) something or someone that no longer serves us -- the \"something\" could include attitudes.\r\n\r\nThis fear may lead us to compulsive, suspicious, or difficult behavior, costing us the very thing that we hold dear. As best as you can, open yourself up to the power of love within. When you do, you will discover your own strength, and rework your very identity. Perhaps most importantly, this aspect puts us face to face with <i>exactly</i> what\'s been holding us back from leading a fuller, more meaningful life.\r\n\r\nWe may have to make some changes or adjustments between our immediate personal desires and our long-term goals. As best as you can, be open to receiving feedback from others during this time.\r\n\r\nIf you feel pressured into doing something or you feel a power struggle build, as best as you can, get centered, get grounded and open your heart and mind. This aspect is a major growth opportunity for us: we struggle with buried elements of our personality and ego, learning to face, accept and transform them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra,  </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (the Sun is the ruler of Leo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso <strong>on Tuesday</strong>, <i>Mercury starts to slow down again (“stationing”).</i><i> </i>It’s getting ready to come to a halt, ending its 3.5-week retrograde phase, on Sunday, April 15th (more on that later this week…). For the next 10 days (<strong>until April 20th</strong><b>)</b>, we need to be patient with ourselves and others -- especially if there is a connection with communication or transportation, and their associated technologies. This is not the best time to start anything brand-new, especially if it contains new information that needs to be processed.\r\n\r\nWe might experience delays or misunderstandings, and things tend to feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time to get ready for travel somewhere -- especially if you intend to use public transportation or drive (For more details on Mercury Shadow Phases and Retrogrades, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">click here</a>)\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets (or angles) <em>in 4-6 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong>, <b>Libra</b>, </em></i><b><i>Capricorn, </i></b><i>or</i><i> </i><b><i>Cancer.</i></b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (April 11th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <strong>until 2:40pm EDT</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:03am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Friday evening (April 6th) on; it will remain strong until this Sunday.</strong> We tend to feel passionate, super-creative, and just plain energized at this time -- we have tons of vitality and warmth.\r\n\r\nThis helps us bring people together for mutual pleasure and benefit; there is also a feeling of flow around creativity and manifesting something real... If you knew it would be easy, what would you pick to create?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of <b>Taurus,</b></i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?</i><i> If so, you may feel more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars rules Aries) </i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday morning</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Sun/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 8:15am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday night on; it will remain strong until this Wednesday night</strong>. This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed if we’re to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\nThis aspect brings us to a fork in the road: One path takes us toward personal goals and helps us inspire others by being direct and enthusiastic. The other leads to greater understanding of intimacy, and of how we share our resources with others.\r\n\r\nThere\'s not necessarily a \"correct path\", as both can lead to a deeper exploration of the themes in question. Whichever one you decide to walk, go deeper rather than faster -- empower yourself and others by connecting in an authentic way, being honest about your motivations.\r\n\r\nOne more thing: as best as you can, carefully evaluate any projects before getting involved -- awareness is key with this aspect. Ask yourself: What is needed? How can we serve the broader view?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 22-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules of Leo; Jupiter rules Sagittarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 10:55am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 4 hours, <strong>until 2:40pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday late morning and early afternoon ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon sextiles Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 2:40pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces, </i></b>where it will journey <strong>until Friday late evening</strong>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (April 12th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <strong>all day</strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:26pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday night</strong>. This is an opportunity for compassion and kindness in our social interactions. We are more attuned to the subtleties of human interaction, and are more inclined to naturally cooperate with others. We tend to \"feel\" each other on an energetic level now; a sensitive approach is recommended.\r\n\r\nWe also have an opportunity to connect to our values and gifts from intuition, and use our imagination to attract what we want: When you daydream, what would you like to experience? How would it feel?\r\n\r\nRemember: opportunities are openings; they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 13-17 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune rules Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday evening,</strong> <em>the Balsamic Moon phase begins</em> -- when the Moon reaches 11 degrees of <strong>Pisces.</strong><i> </i>This lasts <b>until Sunday late evening</b>, when the New Moon in <b>Aries </b>becomes exact (for those of you who are impatiently waiting for my New Moon video, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here</a> after April 10th). We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our intuition.\r\n\r\nFor some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes. This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (April 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <strong>until 11:25pm EDT</strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 7:27am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 16 hours, <strong>until 11:25pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to explore any beliefs connected to past experiences that left you feeling disempowered: How could a compassionate approach to the past allow for a new perspective?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday all day and evening ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon trines Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 11:25pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries,</i></b> where it will journey <strong>until Monday very early morning (April 16th)</strong>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<b> </b>\r\n\r\nAlso<strong> on Friday, </strong><em>Mercury Station intensifies in almost 5 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> -- as Mercury is preparing to come to halt on Sunday (ending its 3.5-week retrograde phase). During the station phase, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments once Mercury is moving direct again (to be more precise, during the shadow phase that follows).\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned on Tuesday already,<strong> for the next 6 days</strong>, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait <strong>until after May 3rd</strong>, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 3-6 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (April 14th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b>Aries</b></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Friday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday early morning</strong>, <em>a long-term, opportune Jupiter/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:58am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday (March 19th) on; it will remain strong until Tuesday (May 1st)</strong>. This is second time this year we will experience this aspect -- think back to January, when it last occurred: In what ways were you able to deepen your relationships, business and personal alike?\r\n\r\nA positive attitude and deeper trust in our connections with others gives us the chance to build something meaningful and share our passions. We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support professional or personal goals.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Where could I really dig in to solve a problem? How might passion help deliver on my long-term goals? How could other people\'s resources support my ability to create transformation? How might they help me stand in my power?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>Saturday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Mars/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:27pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until</strong></span> <strong>next week</strong><strong>, </strong><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>Wednesday evening (April 18th)</strong>. </span>This gives us the opportunity to take actions that are in alignment with our dreams and ideals. This is also an opportunity for boundaries to dissolve -- to open and relax.\r\n\r\nCreative or spiritual activities might be a good fit with this planetary connection. We may feel the need to daydream or inspire others. What might it mean, to take \"inspired action\"? What might show up in the world? What if you allowed the Universe to co-create with you?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <span style=\"color: #808080;\">13-17 degrees</span> of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Pisces,  Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>?

Major shifts ahead!\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 7-11 degrees of </i><b><i> Capricorn, Cancer, Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this station. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>, since Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (April 15th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b>Aries</b></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Friday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 5:21am EDT</strong>, <i>Mercury comes to a halt in almost 5 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries </i></b>and <i>slowly starts its direct motion</i><i>, </i>after its 3.5-week retrograde phase<i>.</i> As best as you can, go with the flow, keep an open mind and pay attention to anything that is in your face right now -- you may need to address those issues again, when Mercury moves through its shadow phase…more on that later.\r\n\r\nWe are slowly ready to shift our focus back towards the outer world again, taking in new information and sharing from a new perspective. What did you learn about your inner dialog over the past 3 weeks? How can you share your newly found inner understanding in a healthy way with the world? What needs to be addressed regarding your personal goals and desires? With a direct and passionate way of approaching communications? With any new-found understanding of your own thinking structures?\r\n\r\nWhen Mercury gets back to its regular speed (<b>by April 20th</b>), communication and transportation will get back to normal; the same is true of any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets (or angles) in 3-6 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Libra.</i></b>\r\n\r\nAs you may recall, I mentioned <i>Mercury shadow phases</i> on Tuesday: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it\'s best to avoid the periods shortly before and after Mercury goes retrograde. This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) This particular <b>shadow phase ends on May 3rd</b>. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">Click here to read my blog on the subject</a>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening, at 9:57pm EDT:</strong> the <em>Moon aligns with the Sun in 26 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em>. This is the beginning of a new Moon cycle; anything brand-new started in the next two weeks has the chance to get off to a great start. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">Also feel free to watch my New Moon video on the subject</a> (will be posted by April 10th)\r\n\r\nThe <i>New Moon in fast-paced, enthusiastic, courageous </i><b><i>Aries</i></b>, asks us to connect to our personal goals and get very clear on what we want to create for the next 28 days. This is an action-packed energy, with the focus on ourselves -- we tend to do first and think later -- we have a tremendous amount of energy and want to sprint.\r\n\r\nAries is the first sign of the zodiac, and thus represents new beginnings, initiation, breaking new ground and birthing new forms. An <em>Aries New Moon</em> is thus an especially fertile time for seeding new projects and directions.\r\n\r\nWe generally don\'t know what will happen when we start something brand-new -- something we have never done before -- and this can bring up insecurities and nervousness, sometimes maybe even plain fear or even panic.\r\n\r\nAries and its ruling planet Mars correspond with the quest to develop courage -- not fearlessness, but the conscious choice to act in spite of fear. Some call this the \"Warrior Energy\".\r\n\r\nOne of the many ways we can demonstrate courage is allow ourselves to be in a state of \"not knowing\" or \"beginners mind\". At these times, we are more present, and sometimes a state of heightened creative potential arises. <b>Ask yourself: </b>What might come forth if I suspended my opinions, beliefs, judgments and concepts, just for a moment, here and there? Could I be brave enough to take a rest from needing to know, just for right now?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars is the ruler of Aries; it\'s currently in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, sextiling Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>.</i> This aspect asks us to create a solid relationship with our long-term ambitions, while allowing for our inner divinity (Source/God) to guide us toward what feels intuitively right to us, so we can go after it, and manifest it.\r\n\r\nIt also bears a cosmic message about relating to our long-term goals in a loving, kind manner -- softening our approach perhaps, releasing rigid \"shoulds\" and any obligations not aligned with our highest calling.\r\n\r\nIn the same spirit, we are also asked to slow down and focus on quality over quantity, sustainability over novelty, ease over force. <b>Questions you can ask yourself here:</b> What structures might support my emotional/intuitive well-being? What actions would connect my ambitious self to my \"soul-self\"?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars also aligns with Pluto and Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>. This combo brings our long-term business dealings into deep and sharp focus, especially when it comes to manifesting something real (tangible, sustainable, meaningful, etc.)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nFurther, anything dysfunctional within our businesses, governments or long-term goals invites investigation. We are being asked to eliminate or transform anything no longer aligned with our Soul’s passions. This is for our highest good -- individually and collectively.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I felt fully empowered from within and felt absolutely passionate about life, what would I go about “building”? What would be truly meaningful to my Soul in the long run?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon aligns with Uranus in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> -- </i><i>and this is also part of a square with Pluto and Mars in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>. This underlines the message that we are ready to take the next big step on our path. Uranus symbolizes the desire for freedom, equality, and (most of all) progress.\r\n\r\nIt takes courage to leave familiar territory.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span><b>Ask yourself:</b> What is the next step on my journey toward becoming an ever-stronger, healthy individual, one who knows themselves, and is not afraid to go after their personal goals and desires? What if it were possible to accomplish that whilst staying focused on my long-term achievements?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> What might that look like?</span>\r\n\r\n<i>This alignment between Uranus and the New Moon</i> asks us to break away from anything keeping us from stepping up our game -- whatever keeps us in a rut.\r\n\r\nShifts are happening everywhere. It\'s time to develop some courage and awareness: Where do you want to step up? Where do you want to break out? If you made a big leap, where would you most like to land? Could you surprise yourself once a day, for the next 28 days?\r\n\r\n<i>Pluto is also stationing -- </i>and thus exalted -- bringing extra intensity to this process. Pluto shows us where we give our power away to others and where we abuse it ourselves. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What structures no longer empower me? What am I most aware of right now? If I\'m honest, what will almost inevitably break down over the long haul, simply because it is no longer sustainable?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury has been retrograde for the past three weeks, </i>guiding us to reevaluate our thinking about personal goals and how we want to move things forward. Mercury\'s retrograde directed us to deal with unfinished business around past or present dealings, <i>to acknowledge what we learned, be thankful for the growth we experienced, and move forward.</i>\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> is all about “Beginner’s Mind” -- open, eager, willing to be surprised. The fewer preconceptions we have, the more possibilities we see, the path widens as we walk it. The aspect also reminds us that communication starts within our own minds -- our inner dialog is the seed for all outer communication.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury will be moving direct on the day of the New Moon</i>, giving the green light to anything that was in a holding pattern for the past 3-6 weeks. That said, anything developed from scratch (or that first came to light) during the retrograde phase is best left on \"pause\", until the shadow phase ends on May 3rd.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe are also cautioned not to be hasty, as <i>Mercury still squares Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>; the message here is \"take it steady\". <b>Ask yourself:</b> What benefits might I reap from taking it one step at a time?\r\n\r\nWe\'ll be dealing with a lot of Stations this month: Mercury, Saturn, Pluto. Keep in mind that these station phases create awareness. When preparing to go retrograde, they in turn prepare us to gain inner clarity and connect to the energies from within (i.e., more intuitively). In this case, that would apply to Saturn and Pluto.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, when going direct, after a retrograde phase, a station prepares us to move forward (in this instance, that applies to Mercury.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>On April 17th,</strong> <em>Saturn goes into its yearly retrograde, this time at 9º <strong>Capricorn.</strong></em> It will turn direct on Sept. 6th at 2.5º, and get back to that starting point of 9º Capricorn on December 12th.\r\n\r\nSaturn in Capricorn exposes the consequences of our long-term ambitions.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>Saturn always calls us to become our own authority, our own judge of what is right, true, and useful long-term. This can be very different from what society, other authority figures, or our country tells us.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWhile I\'m on the subject: the Saturn and Pluto Retrogrades were covered in considerable detail in the last Monthly Forecasting Forum -- and if you want to know how this planetary movement might impact you personally, feel free to purchase the video of the last webinar -- we applied the Pluto and Saturn Retrograde phases to our own birth charts! <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">Click here for more info or to purchase the recording</a>\r\n\r\nThere is also a <b>Special</b> <strong>Offer</strong> linked to that recording<b>:</b> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for the next Forum</a> <b>by April 17th</b>, I will include that Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar for FREE ;-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<em>During the upcoming Retrograde phases,</em> it may be advisable for us to keep the focus more on ourselves, and check in frequently with our inner compass. We also get a chance to see what works (and what doesn\'t) in certain areas of our lives; we can take stock, and look to see what needs a do-over (or at least a reassessment).\r\n\r\nLast but not least, we have <i>Chiron in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> -- this is the last degree of the sign and the aspect is  therefore exalted. We are approaching the end of 7 years of Chiron in Pisces!\r\n\r\nThink back over those last 7 years and <strong>ask yourself:</strong> What have I learned about my relationship to my higher Self/intuition? What have I learned about the emotional body? About the energetic body? What do I know about my inner healing process that I didn\'t know before 2011?\r\n\r\n<i>Chiron will move into </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> </i><b>on April 17th</b> -- the same day that Saturn comes to a halt -- and will remain in this enthusiastic sign until the end of September.\r\n\r\nWe will go over this upcoming shift in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how Chiron\'s journey through Aries, (and Uranus\'s journey through Taurus) will impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. The next Forum will be on <b>Monday, April 30th</b> at 3pm EDT/8pm BST (London-time); <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">for more info or to register, click here</a>\r\n\r\n<b>And of course, there\'s that Special Offer, I mentioned already:</b> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> <b>by April 17th</b>, you will also get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs a reminder to <strong>Star </strong>or<strong> SuperStar members:</strong> you will be automatically signed up for the Forum and will receive a link via email to join the live webinar and also for the video presentation. Watch out for those emails (and check your junk mail, if you don\'t see it in your inbox ;-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAlright, let\'s turn our attention back to this <i>New Moon: </i> we are helped to go beyond the familiar, the comfortable, the customary. Here are some more questions you can <b>ask yourself for the next two to four weeks:</b> What is my vision? What do I want to create now? What needs to change to make this happen?\r\n\r\nThe highest expression of the <b>Aries</b> energy is expressed when we lead others by example and inspiration -- they follow because they see our courage, our enthusiasm for life, and they want to be a part of that. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What if dared to lead responsibly and with integrity? What if I were the one who inspires others and makes a difference? What is the smallest difference I could make? What is the largest?\r\n\r\nDo your best to tap into the very core of your being — your vision, your purpose — and don\'t be fooled: it is an essential part of the collective journey. Be an agent of change! Have the courage to step up and step out!\r\nTo quote Hillel: “If not you, then who? If not now, when?”\r\n\r\n<b>Some bonus questions you can ask yourself for the next 2 weeks:</b> What do I see that needs changing? What do I feel most passionate about? Where do I need to take a stand? What if I approached things with 5% more maturity? What is the outcome that serves long-term? <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> As best as you can, commit to something larger than yourself. Listen to your inner voice and bring your passionate Self to the world. Remember that each of us makes this journey in our own way, in our own time, so focus on yourself -- <em>your</em> path, <em>your</em> truth -- rather than on what lies beyond your control.\r\n\r\nSpring is an excellent time to do a cleanse on all levels.<b> Ask yourself:</b> What changes have already been in the back of my mind for months now? What first step looks inviting?\r\n\r\nRemember, the ultimate goal of this New Moon is to tap into our inner warrior — a mature warrior that generates and protects, rather than the shadow warrior who exploits and destroys -- who is courageous, rather than combative, assertive rather than aggressive.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">To learn more about this month\'s New Moon, please click here to watch my video. </a>(will be posted by April 10th)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 24-28 degrees of either </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>?

This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to <strong>set some powerful intentions</strong> for this month\'s Moon cycle (this process is especially powerful with the <i>New Moon in </i><b><i>Aries)</i></b>. Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <i>not</i> during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase.\r\n\r\nSo this month, we have two periods that are great<i> times to set intentions:</i> the first one is the roughly four hours that lie between <b>9:57pm Sunday late evening (April 15th) </b>and<b> 1:59am Monday very early morning (April 16th).</b>\r\n\r\nIf you aren’t able to set intentions during that time period, wait a few hours, and do so between <b>4:51am on Monday and 6:05pm EDT, Tuesday April 17th. </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more info on setting New Moon Intentions click here</a><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<b>Here’s a few bonus questions:</b> Where could I have “beginner’s mind”?

I\'m getting ready for all the awesome change that\'s coming our way this month! Yahooooo, bring it on!\r\n\r\n<b>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement:</b>\r\nBecause it is <strong>my Birthday this week</strong>, I wanted to give something of value, and I thought that getting a <strong>30% discount</strong> on my 50-minute Coaching/Healing sessions, <strong>this week only,</strong> would be a nice gift for everyone... especially for those of you who are already doing monthly 25-minute Coaching/Healing sessions with me via the SuperStar Membership.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/coaching/\">Click here to get your 50-min. sessions</a> and use this coupon (after adding one or multiple Coaching sessions to your cart): BIRTHDAY_GIFT\r\n\r\n<strong>PS:</strong> You do not need to schedule your session for this week, you can schedule it anytime between now and Nov. 2018. So feel free to buy multiple sessions, if you want to stock up at this super-low price ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: the New Moon in Taurus becomes exact on Tuesday morning; Uranus changes signs form Aries to Taurus on Tuesday late morning; Mars changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius on Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning; Venus changes signs from Gemini to Cancer on Saturday morning; and last but not least, the Sun changes signs from Taurus to Gemini on Sunday late evening.\r\n\r\nThere will be four <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: Tuesday late afternoon (for almost 15 minutes), Thursday afternoon (for 3.5 hours), Saturday late afternoon (for 2 hours), and Sunday late evening (for 22.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (May 14th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Taurus</strong></em><strong> all day. </strong>We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.\r\n\r\nIn other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing until Tuesday late afternoon? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\nThe Moon in <strong>Taurus</strong> trines Saturn in <strong>Capricorn at 4:58am EDT</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday  late afternoon, </strong>we have an opportunity to meet our need for material comfort with a gentler, more intuitive approach. (Moon in <strong>Taurus</strong> sextiles Neptune in <strong>Pisces at 5:44pm EDT -- post at 3:45pm EDT)</strong>\r\n\r\nThe Moon in <strong>Taurus</strong> opposes Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio at 8:08pm EDT</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday </strong>is also the <i>last day before the New Moon</i> becomes exact. This is a great day to let go of what no longer serves us. As best as you can, avoid jumping the gun: Rather than launching into brand-new endeavors or connections, wait until a couple of days has passed after the New Moon. Some of us might feel a little anxious or nervous today: As best as you can, get quiet and go within… Listen to the silence between the sounds… Find peace in the connection with your innermost and truest Self.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (15th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus</strong></em> <strong>until 4:43pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 7:48am EDT</strong>, the <i>New Moon in 24.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> becomes exact. This marks the beginning of a new Moon cycle. As best as you can, get really quiet, and see if you are getting any new messages or ideas. If you are, harvest them, and fold them into any intentions you set for the new Moon cycle -- I will talk about this process later in the forecast, and I’ll even give you the very best and most potent times for doing it :-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Click here to watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/IvgN28_yRKc\r\n\r\n<i>This New Moon in steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> places more focus on our interactions with the physical world -- you could say that we seek a healthier relationship with “matter\", one in which we are neither too attached, or too disconnected from our bodies, resources (such as money), and the planet we co-inhabit. We are powerfully reminded to take the time to honor the only planet we can currently live on — The Earth — we are called on to honor its resources and beauty.\r\n\r\nIn much the same spirit, we are invited also to honor ourselves, our bodies, our talents. This is a good time for reevaluating our relationship to money and possessions, and for discovering what truly makes us happy and fulfilled. Check in with yourself: What came to mind when you read this?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon trines Mars and Pluto in </i><b><i>Capricorn. </i></b>This combo promotes a realistic and responsible long-term approach. We have the chance to better align our goals with our values; it\'s easier for us to sustain what we have started, and bring a heightened sense of commitment to it all.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I am completely honest, what do I truly want for myself long-term? What really matters to me? If I felt the need to connect to something in a passionate way, what might that be? What truly fulfills me? And what modest step could I take today to move towards my goals?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus, </i>the ruler of Taurus, <i>moves through </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> at the time of the New Moon. This reminds us to learn and discuss Taurean issues: resources, appreciation of physical matter, natural beauty etc.\r\n\r\nThe spiritual quest of <b>Gemini</b>, on the other hand, concerns the development of perception, thought, and communication.

So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions </i>would be <b>between</b> <b>7:48am on Tuesday, May 15th and <strong>7:48am EDT Thursday morning (May 17th).</strong></b>\r\n\r\n<i>Note</i> however, that there is a brief<b> Moon Void of Course on Tuesday afternoon; it starts at 4:30pm and ends at 4:43pm EDT. </b><i>Don’t</i> set your intentions during those 13 minutes — instead, allow intuition to surface possible intentions while you wait.

This is a good time for reevaluating our relationship to money and possessions, and for discovering what truly makes us happy and fulfilled. Check in with yourself: What came to mind when you read this?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon trines Mars and Pluto in </i><b><i>Capricorn. </i></b>This combo promotes a realistic and responsible long-term approach. We have the chance to better align our goals with our values; it\'s easier for us to sustain what we have started, and bring a heightened sense of commitment to it all.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I am completely honest, what do I truly want for myself long-term? What really matters to me? If I felt the need to connect to something in a passionate way, what might that be? What truly fulfills me? And what modest step could I take today to move towards my goals?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus, </i>the ruler of Taurus, <i>moves through </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> at the time of the New Moon. This reminds us to learn and discuss Taurean issues: resources, appreciation of physical matter, natural beauty etc.\r\n\r\nThe spiritual quest of <b>Gemini</b>, on the other hand, concerns the development of perception, thought, and communication. As the creative power of the feminine, Venus in Gemini represents <i>the \"bringing together of opposites\" -- </i>people with different values, for example.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> When I picture this, what do I see? What might this look like in my various communities? How about within my relationships? Could exploring duality help me understand different points of views? Might curiosity be a vital tool in all of this? If so, what could I get curious about? What would 5% more flexibility do for my ability to relate to others?\r\n\r\nAnother thing worth mentioning: <i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>also</i> <i>makes a</i> <i>\"mutual reception\" to Mercury in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> <b><i>--</i></b> in other words, these planets are in each other\'s signs until May 19th; during that time, they \"mutually\" support each other\'s agenda.

What really matters to my heart?\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <i>not</i> during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions </i>would be <b>between</b> <b>7:48am on Tuesday, May 15th and <strong>7:48am EDT Thursday morning (May 17th).</strong></b>\r\n\r\n<i>Note</i> however, that there is a brief<b> Moon Void of Course on Tuesday afternoon; it starts at 4:30pm and ends at 4:43pm EDT. </b><i>Don’t</i> set your intentions during those 13 minutes — instead, allow intuition to surface possible intentions while you wait.

I will be posting reminders on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday morning to let you know that it\'s the best time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nWhen setting intentions, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> What might shift if I focused 5% more on the beauty that already surrounds me?<i> </i>What might open up if I truly valued curiosity and open-mindedness? What if I learned to listen right past my conditioning and opinions? What if I took my time to respond? What might my heart want me to say? <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Again, feel free to also watch my video on the subject</a>:\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 22-27 degrees of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>?

What is our favorite thing until Tuesday late afternoon? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early morning: </strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Slowing down a little and focusing on what\'s right in front of us that needs to be taken care of, so we can get to the next phase of what we are trying to accomplish, is most beneficial for the next couple of hours.</span> <span style=\"color: #993300;\">(Moon in <strong>Taurus</strong> trines Saturn in <strong>Capricorn at 4:58am EDT -- post at 4am EDT)</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late afternoon, </strong>we have an opportunity to meet our need for physical comfort with a gentler, more intuitive approach. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">(Moon in <strong>Taurus</strong> sextiles Neptune in <strong>Pisces at 5:44pm EDT -- post at 3:45pm EDT)</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday evening,</strong> <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">we are being asked to<strong> </strong>balance our need for physical comfort and security with our desire for deeper emotional connections with ourselves and others. What might be possible if we could integrate one with the other? What if we could see the bigger picture?</span> <span style=\"color: #993300;\">(Moon in <strong>Taurus</strong> opposes Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio at 8:08pm EDT -- post at 6pm EDT)</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday </strong>is also the <i>last day before the New Moon</i> becomes exact. This is a great day to let go of what no longer serves us. As best as you can, avoid jumping the gun: Rather than launching into brand-new endeavors or connections, wait until a couple of days has passed after the New Moon. Some of us might feel a little anxious or nervous today: As best as you can, get quiet and go within… Listen to the silence between the sounds… Find peace in the connection with your innermost and truest Self.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (15th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus</strong></em> <strong>until 4:43pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 7:48am EDT</strong>, the <i>New Moon in 24.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> becomes exact. This marks the beginning of a new Moon cycle. As best as you can, get really quiet, and see if you are getting any new messages or ideas. If you are, harvest them, and fold them into any intentions you set for the new Moon cycle -- I will talk about this process later in the forecast, and I’ll even give you the very best and most potent times for doing it :-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Click here to watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/IvgN28_yRKc\r\n\r\n<i>This New Moon in steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> places more focus on our interactions with the physical world -- you could say that we seek a healthier relationship with “matter\", one in which we are neither too attached, or too disconnected from our bodies, resources (such as money), and the planet we co-inhabit. We are powerfully reminded to take the time to honor the only planet we can currently live on — The Earth — we are called on to honor its resources and beauty.\r\n\r\nIn much the same spirit, we are invited also to honor ourselves, our bodies, our talents. This is a good time for reevaluating our relationship to money and possessions, and for discovering what truly makes us happy and fulfilled. Check in with yourself: What came to mind when you read this?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon trines Mars and Pluto in </i><b><i>Capricorn. </i></b>This combo promotes a realistic and responsible long-term approach. We have the chance to better align our goals with our values; it\'s easier for us to sustain what we have started, and bring a heightened sense of commitment to it all.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I am completely honest, what do I truly want for myself long-term? What really matters to me? If I felt the need to connect to something in a passionate way, what might that be? What truly fulfills me? And what modest step could I take today to move towards my goals?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus, </i>the ruler of Taurus, <i>moves through </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> at the time of the New Moon. This reminds us to learn and discuss Taurean issues: resources, appreciation of physical matter, natural beauty etc.\r\n\r\nThe spiritual quest of <b>Gemini</b>, on the other hand, concerns the development of perception, thought, and communication. As the creative power of the feminine, Venus in Gemini represents <i>the \"bringing together of opposites\" -- </i>people with different values, for example.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> When I picture this, what do I see? What might this look like in my various communities? How about within my relationships? Could exploring duality help me understand different points of views? Might curiosity be a vital tool in all of this? If so, what could I get curious about? What would 5% more flexibility do for my ability to relate to others?\r\n\r\nAnother thing worth mentioning: <i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>also</i> <i>makes a</i> <i>\"mutual reception\" to Mercury in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> <b><i>--</i></b> in other words, these planets are in each other\'s signs until May 19th; during that time, they \"mutually\" support each other\'s agenda. This gives us the opportunity to connect mind and heart.\r\n\r\nWe seek out mental stimulation: teaching, learning, writing, collecting and processing information, etc.... and we want to share the output in practical ways, applying it to the real world and ourselves, our values, and our physical experience of life.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, allow yourself to take your time processing things that you just started engaging with. In the meantime, stay open to learning, remain curious, and remember that every teacher is also a student and vice versa.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What if I listened to myself 5% more? What if I had 5% more faith that I\'d be heard? What might I discover about my thinking processes and my value? Is it possible my value doesn\'t need to be \"earned\"? What if, without my being alive, nothing else could be as it is?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus, in the last degree of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, makes a square to Mars in the last degree of </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b>at the time of the New Moon (more about this square when it becomes exact on Wednesday). As some of you already know, when a planet is the last degree of a sign, its energy is more exalted, as it knows that a shift is coming -- you could say that the rumbling of its vibration gets louder.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What am I waking to? Where do I need to assert myself? How might I do that while still keeping what I want to create long-term in view? What has been holding me back? What am I ready to address and change? What needs to happen so I can move forward in a mature fashion?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus moves into </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact (more on that below) -- starting its preview through this peace-loving, sensual sign until early November of this year -- I say \"preview\", because Uranus will return to <b>Taurus</b> in March, 2019, for a 7 year-transit. These next 28 days will be ripe with shifts and changes, so stay centered in the here and now, expect the unexpected and allow yourself to make an inner shift -- as this paves the way for an outer shift. Flexibility is key!\r\n\r\nWe went over this upcoming shift in more detail in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how Uranus\'s journey through Taurus until 2026 impacts you personally, feel free to get the 120 min. long webinar on the subject; <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product-category/webinars/\">for more info or to purchase, click here</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/UqfQLJ\">https://goo.gl/UqfQLJ</a> The fee for this is only $37, even though the webinar is 30 minutes longer than my usual webinars -- partly because we also cover Chiron\'s journey through Aries until 2027.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">You can also check out a brief excerpt of this webinar, here:</a> <a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">https://goo.gl/844ZMG</a> Enjoy ;-) I also offer a <strong>Special Offer this month</strong>: sign up for Star or SuperStar Membership <strong>by May 31st</strong> (or upgrade from Universal to Star Membership via \"My Account\"), and get this webinar for FREE! If you are already a Star or SuperStar Member check your email for the link of this webinar -- it was emailed to you on April 30th ;-)\r\n\r\nThink back over the last 7 years (i.e. March 2011 - May 2018), while Uranus was in <b>Aries</b>, and <b>ask yourself: </b>Where did I make progress on my goals and desires? What structures needed to be renewed for me to break through and find a new or unique approach to who I\'m being? Do some of those structures actually need to break down? What self-realizations make me stand out and go after things in a more original way? How did this 7-year transit through Aries support my vision?\r\n\r\nIf you have a Birth chart, and know what to look for, look to see what Houses are connected to the <b>Aries</b> energy -- and if that sounds like I\'m talking a foreign language, feel free to watch my video: <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">How to Read Your Birth Chart</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/KMmUUz\">https://goo.gl/KMmUUz</a> <i>or</i> join our next Forecasting Forum on <b>May 31st at 7pm EDT</b>, and ask me your questions there. We will cover the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that starts in June -- that will also be connected to Aries in your chart -- I will definitely explain this in great detail in the Forum ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> conjuncts Uranus in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> -- this alignment is exact on May 13th, in 29º of Aries, two days before the New Moon becomes exact<i>.</i><b><i> </i></b>This could bring some exciting possibilities, perhaps even a leap forward in the evolution of our consciousness, with flashes of insight into our own mental workings and some original thoughts coming through, etc.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, and as much as you want to (of course), stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What might a true breakthrough look like? What insights am I receiving? What is it I\'m learning about myself every day that might change my whole perspective?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury also makes a trine to Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>. With Saturn</i> being a part of the equation it is important for us to learn something new using a mature and realistic approach.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What concrete, practical plans could I make? Could I allow myself to take it one step at a time, staying grounded in the here and now? What does a truthful, realistic alignment with long-term goals look like to me?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> trines Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>at the time of the New Moon, bringing the potential for spiritual inspiration -- and it\'s a great time for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>How might more trust and empathy help my perception of intimate relationships? What might be possible for me if I allowed for things to unfold? What if I allowed myself to see the perfection in everything that I perceive right here, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> It is important to remember that we are part of nature, just like a tree, or an ocean -- our actions and interactions with the only home we have will change it, for good or ill. We are also developing an increasingly profound conscious awareness over the next 28 days that connects us to all that is alive.\r\n\r\nTo bring all this together,<b> ask yourself:</b> What baby steps could I take for the planet I co-inhabit? What would show my love and appreciation? What do I sense when I get very quiet and tune into my own energy field and the energy all around me? What really matters to my heart?\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <i>not</i> during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions </i>would be <b>between</b> <b>7:48am on Tuesday, May 15th and <strong>7:48am EDT Thursday morning (May 17th).</strong></b>\r\n\r\n<i>Note</i> however, that there is a brief <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a><b> on Tuesday afternoon; it starts at 4:30pm and ends at 4:43pm EDT. </b><i>Don’t</i> set your intentions during those 13 minutes — instead, allow intuition to surface possible intentions while you wait.

What if I learned to listen right past my conditioning and opinions? What if I took my time to respond? What might my heart want me to say? <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Again, feel free to also watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/IvgN28_yRKc\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 22-27 degrees of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>?

How could you move that to the next level? <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nDuring these times, when Mars travels through Aquarius, we enjoy surprising ourselves and others. The tried-and-true methods of getting things done are far too boring for us right now. We are looking for unique and original goals, and we tend to have a rather original, forward-thinking view of the world now. \"<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Progress\" is one of our favorite words! What if you suddenly said to yourself: \"How could I surprise the \"old me\" today?\", when you were least expecting it?</span> ;-)\r\n\r\nMental and intellectual pursuits are important to us now. The Aquarian ideal of equality is strong with this position, so we also place a lot of value in freedom and individuality -- our own <i>and</i> that of others. With Mars in this fixed sign, we will definitely need our independence, especially in personal relationships -- and we are not easily pushed around. It\'s best to give ourselves and others lots of space; if we feel boxed in, we may rebel or act contrary.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nIn general, we may feel a desire to push our agenda on others -- not in an aggressive way, though... more in a creative manner. As best as you can, bring a sense of openness to your approach to people and situations. Be aware of feeling superior to others: if you find yourself thinking that someone is less \"special\" than you, put your hand over your heart and ask \"what would my heart say to this?\"\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more detached, forward-thinking and freedom-loving. You may want to change things in your life that have outlived their use. If you are an </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 12.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mars/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:04am EDT. This is the first Mars/Uranus Square of the year in the fixed signs (Aquarius/Taurus). <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last week Monday (May 7th), it will remain strong until next week Friday (May 25th). </strong>This aspect asks us to get in touch with our desires and break away from anything that is holding us back. Passions and anger that we may not even know we had may emerge at this time.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Uranus urges us to let go of the past and focus on a better future.</span> We may feel restless and impatient; we can be very demanding and difficult to please. We tend to feel like progress is too slow and we are tired of waiting. This could be an explosive time, as our inner rebel issues<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>emotional challenges, while outer \"reality\" demands we change course.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, if you are the kind of person that doesn\'t go in for asserting themselves, this is an excellent time to try it out ;-) Do your best not to burn all your bridges, especially with any males in your family or in your various communities. We may also experience an awakening of sorts in regards to our sexuality.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAccidents are unusually likely (though not inevitable), especially if our levels of activity and energy are erratic; to prevent this, stay as grounded as possible and keep breathing! Flexibility and open-mindedness is always helpful... but is especially important now. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Notice when you are digging your heals in about something, this is usually a sign that you have some underlying anxiety about something else. Again, take a deep breath, get centered in your body, close your eyes and focus on your third eye. </span>\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">What am I afraid of happening?</span> How might I channel this restless energy into projects that are asking for progress? How might I channel, or just burn off, all this erratic energy? What kind of exercise might be an energetic match? Where am I stagnating? Where am I able to take innovative action?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or personal planets in </i><i>27-29 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn,</i></b><i> or 0-</i><i>3 </i><i>degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>?

Make sure though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, otherwise you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (May 18th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday late afternoon/early evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday early afternoon</strong>, <em>a harmonious Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:49pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening (May 16th) on, it will remain strong until Sunday (May 20th). </strong>It will help to interact with integrity and commitment. We can set aside unrealistic views and make concrete, practical plans, that help us explore our long-term goals.  <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe “get to the point” -- no wasted time or words. Seeking a larger understanding, we speak our truth, but temper it with adult caution and moderation. The reality of our beliefs gets clearer and our thought processes are more realistic. It is important for us to learn something new -- with a mature attitude.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>5-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (May 19th)</strong>:<em> the Moon remains in protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer</strong></em> <strong>until 7:11pm EDT</strong> (see Thursday early evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday morning at 9:11am EDT</strong>, <i style=\"font-style: italic;\">Venus changes signs from chatty, versatile &amp; curious</i><i> </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Gemini</strong><i style=\"font-style: italic;\"> to protective, nurturing </i><strong><i>Cancer, </i></strong>where she will journey <strong>until June 13th; </strong> for those 4 weeks, we value family, loved ones, our home, emotional safety -- and real-estate dealings.\r\n\r\nWe prefer to be around safe, familiar people and places. We\'d rather stay home than socialize; if we do go out, we much prefer dinner parties at someone\'s home to dining out. When it comes to love, be gentle with each other -- and make sure to talk about your feelings.\r\n\r\nWith regards to our finances, it\'s best to stick to what feels safest and most secure. It\'s a favorable time for real-estate and interior design, or anything that makes the home more comfortable and livable.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel more shy for the next 4 weeks. Your heart will want to connect to family and loved ones. If you are a</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to have more love and beauty in your life, for as long as Venus is in your sign ;-)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:30pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening (May 17th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Monday morning (May 21st). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This gives us the opportunity to experiment with how we relate to others -- to do something different or unusual -- freedom plays a big part in this aspect.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Of course, others are experimenting too, so you might experience some unusual or unexpected interactions during this time -- it\'s a favorable time for social meetings and events. As best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through your relationships.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We\'re also ready to experiment with our financial undertakings -- good places to look: all things \"tech\" (electronics, technology, internet); metaphysics; the arts; group activities. This is not the best time to make long-term financial investments not suggested in an intuitive flash ;-)</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">28-29 degrees</span> of <strong>Gemini</strong></i><b><i>, Aries, Leo, </i></b><b><i>Aquarius, </i></b><i><span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">or 0-2 degrees</span> of <strong>Cancer, Taurus, Pisces, </strong>or<strong> Virgo</strong></i><i>?

You may also want to plan Saturday late afternoon and evening ahead of time. (<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Moon sextiles the Sun in Taurus</span>).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 7:11pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday late evening</strong>. <span class=\"s1\">We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-) </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?</span></p>\r\nAgain, today<strong> (Saturday),  </strong><span class=\"s1\">it\'s <i>time to take actions on our New Moon intentions</i>: if you set Intentions Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning -- after the New Moon became exact -- today <strong>before 5:14pm </strong>and<strong> after 7:11pm EDT, </strong>will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 20th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Saturday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning</strong>, <em>an opportune Mars/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:55am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from <span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">Monday (May 14th)</span> on, it will remain strong until <span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">next week, Friday (May 25th)</span>. </strong><span class=\"s1\">This is an opportunity to accept the validity of our anger and desire, so that we can learn to express these energies naturally and confidently. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This could also inspire us to make resolutions and take actions towards healing our emotional and spiritual wounds. Remember: this is an \"opportunity\" -- those aren\'t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in the following: <span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">29 degrees of</span> <b>Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus, Scorpio, </b><span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">or<b> </b>0-4 degrees</span> of</i><b><i> Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, </i></span><span class=\"s1\"><i>you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Aries </i></b><i>(Mars rules Aries)</i></span></p>\r\n<strong>Sunday late afternoon</strong>, <em>a challenging Venus/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:24pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday night (May 17th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Wednesday (May 23rd). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This aspect asks us to stretch past injuries and insecurities in our relationships, self-worth and finances. If we can bring compassion and a different point of view to these issues, we will reach a new understanding of ourselves and our life journey.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We have the opportunity to learn from one another; ironically though, we may also feel insecure around others. Whenever Chiron is involved, we are being asked to do some healing work. As best as you can, use this time to learn about your sore spots. Nobody is perfect: we all have our flaws and idiosyncrasies. It\'s ok.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you get triggered by someone, as best as you can, take it as an opportunity to see where this trigger originated -- probably in your childhood. Bring love and compassion to yourself, as you are, and as you were (i.e. your \"wounded child\"). Allow <i>any</i> feelings this may stir up in you. A feeling is just energy that wants to be experienced, and honored; it wants to move through us and out.\r\n</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The more we resist our feelings, the more we keep them spinning in place. As best as you can, move from the head to the heart. What might change, if you showed 5% more compassion toward your inner wounded child? What if you just decided to take an active part in the healing process? </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: <span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">28-29 degrees</span> of </i><b><i>Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i><span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">0-5 degrees</span> of </i><b><i>Cancer, Aries, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).</i></span><span class=\"s2\"> </span></p>\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 10:06pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from early morning (May 20th) on, it will remain strong until Monday evening (May 21st). </strong><span class=\"s1\">We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward; we need to make a choice. We need to develop inner awareness, so we can make adjustments. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">This might concern compromising with others. Our enthusiasm might make us impatient or hasty with others. Our values may not be in alignment with those we work with. As best as you can, keep choosing the \"better\" alternative, adjusting as needed.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">When life slows down, or becomes uncomfortable, simplify and be patient. We are changing and growing in ways that we can\'t comprehend right now. Stay as open and observant as you can.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-3 degrees of</i><b><i> Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>?

We may be extra interested in collecting and sharing information. This is a time when curiosity and adaptability are favored. We are more flexible, changeable and adaptable -- which makes us quite social as well.</span>\r\n\r\nWe enjoy intellectual conversations and we can easily become bored if we are not getting enough mental stimulation at this time. We are more objective and observant, but prefer to keep things light and easy. There is usually a nervousness in the air at this time as well, as we are constantly seeking to connect and have new interactions. “Sharing” is the name of the game.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Gemini, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo your vitality will most likely speed up and you feel more chatty than usual.</i>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Sunday at 11:30 pm EDT</strong>,</span> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 22.5 hours, <strong>until 10:03pm EDT </strong>(Monday late evening, May 21st). <span class=\"s1\">We are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we feel a strong need to break the rules and move towards our future visions.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">On the other hand, we want to connect to what feels familiar and comfortable. Do your best to use this intuitive time to make adjustments, slow things down a little, and find creative solutions that honor both drives. </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">we feel a need for acknowledgment and adoration... and also for deep, authentic -- even intimate -- connections to others.

Mercury follows suit, beginning its own Station phase on Tuesday, that in turn intensifies on Friday (it will come to a complete halt -- ending it\'s retrograde phase -- on Sunday morning).\r\n\r\nIn other news, the Balsamic Moon phase becomes exact on Thursday evening, and the New Moon in Aries becomes exact on Sunday, late in the evening.\r\n\r\nAnd of course, the week wouldn\'t be complete without some <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases -- though there are only two this week: the first on Wednesday, late in the morning (it lasts for almost 4 hours) and a longer one that starts Friday morning and runs for almost 16 hours.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (April 9th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><strong>Capricorn</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 2:50am EDT. </strong><strong>At that point</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <b><strong>until Wednesday afternoon</strong>. </b>The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Monday</strong>, <b> </b><i>Saturn slows down (stations) in 9 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i> <i>\"Stationing\" is when a planet </i>moves more slowly through the sky. When a planet stations, its energy becomes...\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\r\n<strong> GET IT ALL!

Saturn also represents our structures, responsibilities, commitments and ability to \"do\" life, on life\'s terms.\r\n\r\nAs spirit beings in a physical world, it\'s best to observe the laws of the physical world. The sooner we learn to \"play by the rules\", the easier life gets. Saturn also represents time and the \"domain\" of time: growing up, maturing, understanding our limitations, setting healthy boundaries with others, living with integrity, being authentic and truthful, being serious and focused on building something of value to society.\r\n\r\nSaturn is our teacher. If you had a cosmic teacher, what would your personal \"earth class\" be in, right now? Where are you being asked to look at your long-term goals and ambitons and became more mature? What calls for a commitment towards building a solid foundation? What will time do?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during the time of the station, bring flexibility and open-mindedness to any frustrations. The station-phase will last <b>until April 24th</b> -- and Saturn will start its 5-month retrograde phase, next week Tuesday, on April 17th…\r\n\r\nFeel free to watch our mp4 video presentation about April\'s Saturn and Pluto Station and Retrograde phases in relationship to our own Birth charts...To purchase this webinar, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">click here. </a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Special Offer:</strong> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-) <b>Please note</b> <strong>that we will be talking about Chiron moving into Aries and Uranus moving into Taurus, in our next Forum.</strong> Major shifts ahead!\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in </i><b><i>7-11 degrees of  Capricorn, Cancer, Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this station. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>, since Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (April 10th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <strong>all day</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday night/</strong>Wednesday very early morning, <em>a challenging Sun/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:54am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening (April 7th) on; it will remain strong until this Friday night (April 13th)</strong>. What we identify ourselves with could now be challenged. This aspect forces us to confront our will, power, assertion, and authority.\r\n\r\nComing into focus now: the relationship with a father- or other important male-figures. We may face the need to be more independent, assertive, and autonomous.\r\n\r\nWe may alienate others with a controlling, jealous, or overbearing manner. This manner stems from a deep fear of letting go and surrendering to the idea that some things cannot be directed or controlled. We are learning to detach from (let go of) something or someone that no longer serves us -- the \"something\" could include attitudes.\r\n\r\nThis fear may lead us to compulsive, suspicious, or difficult behavior, costing us the very thing that we hold dear. As best as you can, open yourself up to the power of love within. When you do, you will discover your own strength, and rework your very identity. Perhaps most importantly, this aspect puts us face to face with <i>exactly</i> what\'s been holding us back from leading a fuller, more meaningful life.\r\n\r\nWe may have to make some changes or adjustments between our immediate personal desires and our long-term goals. As best as you can, be open to receiving feedback from others during this time.\r\n\r\nIf you feel pressured into doing something or you feel a power struggle build, as best as you can, get centered, get grounded and open your heart and mind. This aspect is a major growth opportunity for us: we struggle with buried elements of our personality and ego, learning to face, accept and transform them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra,  </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (the Sun is the ruler of Leo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso <strong>on Tuesday</strong>, <i>Mercury starts to slow down again (“stationing”).</i><i> </i>It’s getting ready to come to a halt, ending its 3.5-week retrograde phase, on Sunday, April 15th (more on that later this week…). For the next 10 days (<strong>until April 20th</strong><b>)</b>, we need to be patient with ourselves and others -- especially if there is a connection with communication or transportation, and their associated technologies. This is not the best time to start anything brand-new, especially if it contains new information that needs to be processed.\r\n\r\nWe might experience delays or misunderstandings, and things tend to feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time to get ready for travel somewhere -- especially if you intend to use public transportation or drive (For more details on Mercury Shadow Phases and Retrogrades, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">click here</a>)\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets (or angles) <em>in 4-6 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong>, <b>Libra</b>, </em></i><b><i>Capricorn, </i></b><i>or</i><i> </i><b><i>Cancer.</i></b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (April 11th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <strong>until 2:40pm EDT</strong> (see Monday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:03am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Friday evening (April 6th) on; it will remain strong until this Sunday.</strong> We tend to feel passionate, super-creative, and just plain energized at this time -- we have tons of vitality and warmth.\r\n\r\nThis helps us bring people together for mutual pleasure and benefit; there is also a feeling of flow around creativity and manifesting something real... If you knew it would be easy, what would you pick to create?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 10-17 degrees of <b>Taurus,</b></i><b><i> Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?</i><i> If so, you may feel more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Mars rules Aries) </i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday morning</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Sun/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 8:15am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Monday night on; it will remain strong until Wednesday night/Thursday very early </strong><b>morning</b>. This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed if we’re to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\nThis aspect brings us to a fork in the road: One path takes us toward personal goals and helps us inspire others by being direct and enthusiastic. The other leads to greater understanding of intimacy, and of how we share our resources with others.\r\n\r\nThere\'s not necessarily a \"correct path\", as both can lead to a deeper exploration of the themes in question. Whichever one you decide to walk, go deeper rather than faster -- empower yourself and others by connecting in an authentic way, being honest about your motivations.\r\n\r\nOne more thing: as best as you can, carefully evaluate any projects before getting involved -- awareness is key with this aspect. Ask yourself: What is needed? How can we serve the broader view?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 22-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules of Leo; Jupiter rules Sagittarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 10:55am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 4 hours, <strong>until 2:40pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday late morning and early afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 2:40pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces, </i></b>where it will journey <strong>until Friday late evening</strong>. This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (April 12th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <strong>all day</strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:26pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until this Friday night</strong>. This is an opportunity for compassion and kindness in our social interactions. We are more attuned to the subtleties of human interaction, and are more inclined to naturally cooperate with others. We tend to \"feel\" each other on an energetic level now; a sensitive approach is recommended.\r\n\r\nWe also have an opportunity to connect to our values and gifts from intuition, and use our imagination to attract what we want: When you daydream, what would you like to experience? How would it feel?\r\n\r\nRemember: opportunities are openings; they aren\'t necessarily handed to us -- we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 13-17 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune rules Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday evening,</strong> <em>the Balsamic Moon phase begins</em> -- when the Moon reaches 11 degrees of <strong>Pisces.</strong><i> </i>This lasts <b>until Sunday late evening</b>, when the New Moon in <b>Aries </b>becomes exact (for those of you who are impatiently waiting for my New Moon video, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here</a> after April 10th). We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our intuition.\r\n\r\nFor some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes. This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (April 13th)</strong>: <i>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> <strong>until 11:25pm EDT</strong> (see Wednesday afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 7:27am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 16 hours, <strong>until 11:25pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to explore any beliefs connected to past experiences that left you feeling disempowered: How could a compassionate approach to the past allow for a new perspective?\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday all day and evening ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 11:25pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b><i>Aries,</i></b> where it will journey <strong>until Monday very early morning (April 16th)</strong>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.<b> </b>\r\n\r\nAlso<strong> on Friday, </strong><em>Mercury Station intensifies in almost 5 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> -- as Mercury is preparing to come to halt on Sunday (ending its 3.5-week retrograde phase). During the station phase, we feel Mercury\'s energies more strongly.\r\n\r\nPay attention to anything \"in your face\" in any of the following areas: communications, short travels, transportation of any kind, communication devices. You will get a chance to make adjustments once Mercury is moving direct again (to be more precise, during the shadow phase that follows).\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned on Tuesday already,<strong> for the next 6 days</strong>, we might experience delays or misunderstandings; things could feel \"off\" or stagnant. It might be a good idea to give yourself some extra time when getting ready to go somewhere -- and that goes for the journey itself, too -- especially if you intend to drive or use public transportation. Going with the flow is definitely recommended at this time.\r\n\r\nBe extra-patient if you intend to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, especially if they are transportation or communication devices like anything connected with planes, trains, cars, phones, computers, iPads, etc. Best of all (<i>if possible)</i>: wait <strong>until after May 3rd</strong>, when the shadow phase is over.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of the Mercury station more than others: those of us who have </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant); and those of us with personal planets in 3-6 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (April 14th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>pioneering, fast-paced</i> <b>Aries</b></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Friday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday early morning</strong>, <em>a long-term, opportune Jupiter/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:58am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Sunday (March 19th) on; it will remain strong until Tuesday (May 1st)</strong>. This is second time this year we will experience this aspect -- think back to January, when it last occurred: In what ways were you able to deepen your relationships, business and personal alike?\r\n\r\nA positive attitude and deeper trust in our connections with others gives us the chance to build something meaningful and share our passions. We also have a tremendous amount of enthusiasm and deep focus right now that can support professional or personal goals.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Where could I really dig in to solve a problem? How might passion help deliver on my long-term goals? How could other people\'s resources support my ability to create transformation? How might they help me stand in my power?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>Saturday early afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Mars/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:27pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from Tuesday evening on; it will remain strong until</strong></span> <strong>next week</strong><strong>, </strong><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><strong>Wednesday evening (April 18th)</strong>. </span>This gives us the opportunity to take actions that are in alignment with our dreams and ideals. This is also an opportunity for boundaries to dissolve -- to open and relax.\r\n\r\nCreative or spiritual activities might be a good fit with this planetary connection. We may feel the need to daydream or inspire others. What might it mean, to take \"inspired action\"? What might show up in the world? What if you allowed the Universe to co-create with you?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <span style=\"color: #808080;\">13-17 degrees</span> of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Pisces,  Taurus, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>?

This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Neptune rules Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Also on Saturday</strong>, <em>Saturn Station intensifies in 9 degrees of <strong>Capricorn.</strong></em> As I mentioned on Monday already, <i>\"Stationing\" is when a planet </i>moves more slowly through the sky. When a planet stations, its energy becomes more \"exalted\"; in the case of Saturn, this means we all feel the need to more fully face what is currently so, our actual reality.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Where am I being asked to look at my long-term goals and ambitons and became more mature? What calls for a commitment towards building a solid foundation? What will time do?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during the time of the station, bring flexibility and open-mindedness to any frustrations. The station-phase will feel most intense until <b>until April 20th, </b>but altogether, it will run <b>until April 24th</b> -- and Saturn will start its 5-month retrograde phase, next week Tuesday (<b>on April 17th)</b>… more on that next week ;-)\r\n\r\nFeel free to watch our mp4 video presentation about April\'s Saturn and Pluto Station and Retrograde phases in relationship to our own Birth charts...To purchase this webinar, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">click here. </a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Special Offer:</strong> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-) <b>Please note</b> <strong>that we will be talking about Chiron moving into Aries and Uranus moving into Taurus, in our next Forum.</strong> Major shifts ahead!\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 7-11 degrees of </i><b><i> Capricorn, Cancer, Aries </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>?

What did you learn about your inner dialog over the past 3 weeks? How can you share your newly found inner understanding in a healthy way with the world? What needs to be addressed regarding your personal goals and desires? With a direct and passionate way of approaching communications? With any new-found understanding of your own thinking structures?\r\n\r\nWhen Mercury gets back to its regular speed (<b>by April 20th</b>), communication and transportation will get back to normal; the same is true of any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc.\r\n\r\n<i>Some of us will feel the effects of this station more than others: those of us with </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i> as our Sun- or Rising-Sign (Ascendant) -- and those of us with personal planets (or angles) in 3-6 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Libra.</i></b>\r\n\r\nAs you may recall, I mentioned <i>Mercury shadow phases</i> on Tuesday: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it\'s best to avoid the periods shortly before and after Mercury goes retrograde. This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) This particular <b>shadow phase ends on May 3rd</b>. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">Click here to read my blog on the subject</a>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening, at 9:57pm EDT:</strong> the <em>Moon aligns with the Sun in 26 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em>. This is the beginning of a new Moon cycle; anything brand-new started in the next two weeks has the chance to get off to a great start. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">Also feel free to watch my New Moon video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\nThe <i>New Moon in fast-paced, enthusiastic, courageous </i><b><i>Aries</i></b>, asks us to connect to our personal goals and to get very clear on what we want to create for the next 28 days. This is an action-packed energy, with the focus on ourselves -- we tend to do first and think later -- we have a tremendous amount of energy and want to sprint.\r\n\r\nAries is the first sign of the zodiac, and thus represents new beginnings, initiation, breaking new ground and birthing new forms. An <em>Aries New Moon</em> is thus an especially fertile time for seeding new projects and directions.\r\n\r\nWe generally don\'t know what will happen when we start something brand-new -- something we have never done before -- and this can bring up insecurities or nervousness, sometimes maybe even plain fear or even panic.\r\n\r\nAries and its ruling planet Mars correspond with the quest to develop courage -- not fearlessness, but the conscious choice to act in spite of fear. Some call this the \"Warrior Energy\".\r\n\r\nOne of the many ways we can demonstrate courage is to allow ourselves to be in a state of \"not knowing\" or \"beginners mind\". At these times, we are more present, and sometimes a state of heightened creative potential arises. <b>Ask yourself: </b>What might come forth if I suspended my opinions, beliefs, judgments and concepts, just for a moment, here and there? Could I be brave enough to take a rest from needing to know, just for right now?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars is the ruler of Aries; it\'s currently in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, sextiling Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>.</i> This aspect asks us to create a solid relationship with our long-term ambitions, while allowing for our inner divinity (Source/God) to guide us toward what feels intuitively right to us, so we can go after it, and manifest it.\r\n\r\nIt also bears a cosmic message about relating to our long-term goals in a loving, kind manner -- softening our approach perhaps, releasing rigid \"shoulds\" and any obligations not aligned with our highest calling.\r\n\r\nIn the same spirit, we are also asked to slow down and focus on quality over quantity, sustainability over novelty, ease over force. <b>Questions you can ask yourself here:</b> What structures might support my emotional/intuitive well-being? What actions would connect my ambitious self to my \"soul-self\"?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars also aligns with Pluto and Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>. This combo brings our long-term business dealings into deep and sharp focus, especially when it comes to manifesting something real (tangible, sustainable, meaningful, etc.)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nFurther, anything dysfunctional within our businesses, governments or long-term goals invites investigation. We are being asked to eliminate or transform anything no longer aligned with our Soul’s passions. This is for our highest good -- individually and collectively.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I felt fully empowered from within and felt absolutely passionate about life, what would I go about “building”? What would be truly meaningful to my Soul in the long run?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon aligns with Uranus in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> -- </i><i>and this is also part of a square with Pluto and Mars in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>. This underlines the message that we are ready to take the next big step on our path. Uranus symbolizes the desire for freedom, equality, and (most of all) progress.\r\n\r\nIt takes courage to leave familiar territory.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span><b>Ask yourself:</b> What is the next step on my journey toward becoming an ever-stronger, healthy individual, one who knows themselves, and is not afraid to go after their personal goals and desires? What if it were possible to accomplish that whilst staying focused on my long-term achievements?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> What might that look like?</span>\r\n\r\n<i>This alignment between Uranus and the New Moon</i> asks us to break away from anything keeping us from stepping up our game -- whatever keeps us in a rut.\r\n\r\nShifts are happening everywhere. It\'s time to develop some courage and awareness. <strong>Ask yourself:</strong> Where do I want to step up? Where do I want to break out? If I made a big leap, where would I most like to land? Could I surprise myself once a day, for the next 28 days?\r\n\r\n<i>Pluto is also stationing -- </i>and thus exalted -- bringing extra intensity to this process. Pluto shows us where we give our power away to others and where we abuse it ourselves. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What structures no longer empower me? What am I most aware of right now? If I\'m honest, what will almost inevitably break down over the long haul, simply because it is no longer sustainable?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury has been retrograde for the past three weeks, </i>guiding us to reevaluate our thinking about personal goals and how we want to move things forward. Mercury\'s retrograde directed us to deal with unfinished business around past or present dealings, <i>to acknowledge what we learned, be thankful for the growth we experienced, and move forward.</i>\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> is all about “Beginner’s Mind” -- open, eager, willing to be surprised. The fewer preconceptions we have, the more possibilities we see, the path widens as we walk it. This placement also reminds us that communication starts within our own minds -- our inner dialog is the seed for all outer communication.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury will be moving direct on the day of the New Moon</i>, giving the green light to anything that was in a holding pattern for the past 3-6 weeks. That said, anything developed from scratch (or that first came to light) during the retrograde phase is best left on \"pause\", until the shadow phase ends on May 3rd.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe are also cautioned not to be hasty, as <i>Mercury still squares Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>; the message here is \"take it steady\". <b>Ask yourself:</b> What benefits might I reap from taking it one step at a time? From not rushing things?\r\n\r\nWe\'ll be dealing with a lot of Stations this month: Mercury, Saturn, Pluto. Keep in mind that these station phases create awareness. When preparing to go retrograde, they in turn prepare us to gain inner clarity and connect to the energies from within (i.e., more intuitively). In this case, that would apply to Saturn and Pluto.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, when going direct, after a retrograde phase, a station prepares us to move forward (in this instance, that applies to Mercury).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>On April 17th,</strong> <em>Saturn goes into its yearly retrograde, this time at 9º <strong>Capricorn.</strong></em> It will turn direct on Sept. 6th at 2.5º, and get back to that starting point of 9º Capricorn on December 12th.\r\n\r\nSaturn in Capricorn exposes the consequences of our long-term ambitions.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>Saturn always calls us to become our own authority, our own judge of what is right, true, and useful long-term. This can be very different from what society, other authority figures, or our country tells us.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWhile I\'m on the subject: the Saturn and Pluto Retrogrades were covered in considerable detail in the last Monthly Forecasting Forum -- and if you want to know how this planetary movement might impact you personally, feel free to purchase the video of the last webinar -- we applied the Pluto and Saturn Retrograde phases to our own birth charts! <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">Click here for more info or to purchase the recording</a>\r\n\r\nThere is also a <b>Special</b> <strong>Offer</strong> linked to that recording<b>:</b> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for the next Forum</a> <b>by April 17th</b>, I will include that Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar for FREE ;-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<em>During the upcoming Retrograde phases,</em> it may be advisable for us to keep the focus more on ourselves, and check in frequently with our inner compass. We also get a chance to see what works (and what doesn\'t) in certain areas of our lives; we can take stock, and look to see what needs a do-over (or at least a reassessment).\r\n\r\nLast but not least, we have <i>Chiron in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b> -- this is the last degree of the sign and the aspect is  therefore exalted. We are approaching the end of 7 years of Chiron in Pisces!\r\n\r\nThink back over those last 7 years and <strong>ask yourself:</strong> What have I learned about my relationship to my higher Self/intuition? What have I learned about the emotional body? About the energetic body? What do I know about my inner healing process that I didn\'t know before 2011?\r\n\r\n<i>Chiron will move into </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> </i><b>on April 17th</b> -- the same day that Saturn comes to a halt -- and will remain in this enthusiastic sign until the end of September.\r\n\r\nWe will go over this upcoming shift in more detail in our next Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how <strong>Chiron\'s journey through Aries,</strong> (and <strong>Uranus\'s journey through Taurus</strong>) will impact you personally, feel free to join us -- we will apply what\'s coming up to our own birth charts. The next Forum will be on <b>Monday, April 30th</b> at 3pm EDT/8pm BST (London-time); <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">for more info or to register, click here</a>\r\n\r\n<b>And of course, there\'s that Special Offer, I mentioned already:</b> If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> <b>by April 17th</b>, you will also get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs a reminder to <strong>Star </strong>or<strong> SuperStar members:</strong> you will be automatically signed up for the Forum and will receive a link via email to join the live webinar and also for the video presentation. Watch out for those emails (and check your junk mail, if you don\'t see it in your inbox ;-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAlright, let\'s turn our attention back to this <i>New Moon: </i> we are being helped to go beyond the familiar, the comfortable, the customary. Here are some more questions you can <b>ask yourself for the next two to four weeks:</b> What is my vision? What do I want to create now? What needs to change to make this happen?\r\n\r\nThe highest expression of the <b>Aries</b> energy is expressed when we lead others by example and inspiration -- they follow because they see our courage, our enthusiasm for life, and they want to be a part of that. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What if I dared to lead responsibly and with integrity? What if I were the one who inspires others and makes a difference? What is the smallest difference I could make? What is the largest?\r\n\r\nDo your best to tap into the very core of your being — your vision, your purpose — and don\'t be fooled: it is an essential part of the collective journey. Be an agent of change! Have the courage to step up and step out! To quote the great jewish scholar, Hillel: “If not you, then who? If not now, when?”\r\n\r\n<b>Some bonus questions you can ask yourself for the next 2 weeks:</b> What do I see that needs changing? What do I feel most passionate about? Where do I need to take a stand? What if I approached things with 5% more maturity? What is the outcome that serves long-term? <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> As best as you can, commit to something larger than yourself. Listen to your inner voice and bring your passionate Self to the world. Remember that each of us makes this journey in our own way, in our own time, so focus on yourself -- <em>your</em> path, <em>your</em> truth -- rather than on what lies beyond your control.\r\n\r\nSpring is an excellent time to do a cleanse on all levels.<b> Ask yourself:</b> What changes have already been in the back of my mind for months now? What first step looks inviting?\r\n\r\nRemember, the ultimate goal of this New Moon is to tap into our inner warrior — a mature warrior that generates and protects, rather than the shadow warrior who exploits and destroys -- who is courageous, rather than combative, assertive rather than aggressive.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">To learn more about this month\'s New Moon, please click here to watch my video. </a>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant (or any personal planets) in 24-28 degrees of either </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Capricorn</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to <strong>set some powerful intentions</strong> for this month\'s Moon cycle (this process is especially powerful with the <i>New Moon in </i><b><i>Aries)</i></b>. Intentions are best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <i>not</i> during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase.\r\n\r\nSo this month, we have two periods that are great<i> times to set intentions:</i> the first one is the roughly four hours that lie between <b>9:57pm Sunday late evening (April 15th) </b>and<b> 1:59am Monday very early morning (April 16th).</b>\r\n\r\nIf you aren’t able to set intentions during that time period, wait a few hours, and do so between <b>4:51am on Monday and 6:05pm EDT, Tuesday April 17th. </b><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more info on setting New Moon Intentions click here</a><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<b>Here’s a few bonus questions:</b> Where could I have “beginner’s mind”? What do I want to create in this particular “right now\", this instant of time? What if I were to tap into my inner courage and passion for life, right here, right now? Where am I being called to take a risk and try something new?\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (April 16th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Aries</strong></em><strong> until 4:51am EDT</strong> (see Friday late evening for details). <strong>At 1:59am EDT</strong>, we enter a<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 3 hours, <strong>until 4:51am EDT</strong>. <strong>At 4:51am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon moves into <strong>Taurus</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday early morning</strong>. <strong>Also on Monday</strong>, the <em>Pluto Station intensifies at 21 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong> </em>until April 28th. More about all the details in next week’s forecast ;-)\r\n<h3>One Last Announcement:</h3>\r\nJoin me for my next FORECASTING FORUM, <b>Monday</b>, <b>April 30th, 2018 at </b>12pm<b> </b>PDT/<b> 3pm EDT</b>/8pm BST (London-time).<b> Please note </b>that we will be talking about Chiron in Aries and Uranus in Taurus.

Thanks so much for all the amazing Birthday wishes ;-) Uranus in Taurus in my 7th House feels pretty good so far! :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement:</strong>\r\nThere is still time to take advantage of the <strong>Special Offer</strong> for the month of May: Uranus moved into Taurus last week. We went over this transit in more detail in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how <strong>Uranus\'s journey through Taurus until 2026</strong> impacts you personally, feel free to get the 120 min. long webinar on the subject; <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product-category/webinars/\">for more info or to purchase, click here</a> The fee for this is <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product-category/webinars/\">only $37</a>, even though the webinar is 30 minutes longer than my usual webinars -- partly because we also cover <strong>Chiron\'s journey through Aries until 2027</strong>. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/chiron-in-aries-uranus-in-taurus-until-2026-15-minute-excerpt/\">You can also check out a brief excerpt of this webinar, here</a> Enjoy ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Here is the Special Offer for this month:</strong> <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/site-membership/\">sign up for Star or SuperStar Membership</a> <strong>by May 31st </strong>(or upgrade from Universal to Star Membership via \"My Account\"), and get the above mentioned 2-hr. webinar for FREE! If you are <em>already a Star</em> or <em>SuperStar Member</em> check your email for the link to this webinar -- it was emailed to you on April 30th ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>This week\'s headline items:</strong> the first Quarter Moon in Virgo becomes exact on Monday late evening; and a long-lasting Jupiter/Neptune Trine becomes exact on Friday early morning. There will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: Monday all day until 10:03pm EDT; Wednesday late morning (for 16 hours) and Friday afternoon (for 16.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (May 21st)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 10:03pm EDT. </strong>With the Moon in <strong>Leo</strong>, we may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)\r\n\r\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are also a big part of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.\r\n\r\nIf there are no children around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the rest of today. Ask yourself: What am I most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, I could  let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a><strong> until 10:03pm EDT</strong>: we are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we feel a strong need to have fun and be creative or self-expressed.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, we want to explore deep, authentic -- even intimate -- connections to ourselves or others. Do your best to use this intuitive time to make adjustments, slow things down a little, and find creative solutions that honor both drives.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday late evening and Monday all day ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 10:03pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning</strong>; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact later this evening).\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong> ALREADY A MEMBER?

Last week saw the New Moon, on May 15th. \"Seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day dealings with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 29 degrees of <strong>Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio</strong>, or 0-3 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (May 22nd)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:48pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last Saturday (May 19th) on, it will remain strong until Thursday night. </strong>This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body.\r\n\r\nWe all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?\r\n\r\n<strong>Until Thursday night</strong>, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity?\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 29 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn,</strong> <strong>Cancer,</strong> or 0-4 degrees of <strong>Gemini, Aries, Aquarius </strong>or<strong> Leo</strong>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Pisces (the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late evening</strong>, <em>an opportune Mercury/Neptune aspect</em> becoming exact at 10:13pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Monday night on, it will remain strong until Thursday morning. </strong>This aspect gives us the opportunity to bring compassion and an intuitive approach to our thinking process.\r\n\r\nHaving faith and connecting to our Higher Selves will be of service to us at this time. Any artistic or spiritual endeavors are likely to do well at this time. Music might help us with our thinking process and ability to get things done.\r\n\r\nLet yourself be inspired! A book, a song, a movie, someone else\'s words… allow the Universe to speak to you. Open your mind to a higher vibration -- and remember, opportunities are openings... they aren\'t necessarily handed to us... we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <em>14-18 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 23rd)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday late evening for details).\r\n\r\nTuesday night/<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Jupiter opposition</em> becomes exact at 1:54am EDT. <strong>We feel this aspect build from Monday; it will remain strong until Thursday evening.</strong>\r\n\r\nIt asks us to balance our personal values and resources against our authentic, emotional connections with others (and any resources we share with them). This could also show up as a need to balance what we <em>think</em> we need to own or have, with our desire for expansion within intimate relationships and shared resources.\r\n\r\nOf course, we could conceivably have it both ways -- here are some questions you can ask yourself, that might help with this: How might taking a different view of my intimate relationships impact my self-worth? Could I share from a place of self-love and self-honoring,  just 5% more than normal? If I stepped way back from the canvas, what \"bigger picture\" would I see?\r\n\r\nWe generally feel quite optimistic at this time, perhaps overly so: The urge to grow and expand is strong, but we can overreach -- perhaps by overlooking critical details and thereby miscalculating. We might be inclined to exaggerate, then have a hard time putting our ideas and goals into practice. That said, we can also be extraordinarily funny and interesting at this time, especially in our one-on-one relationships :-)\r\n\r\nExpect a lot of talking and sharing -- and possibly some over-thinking or impulsive communication. Impatience is likely a side-effect of this aspect as well... As best as you can, take an \"observer\" position toward your mind: listen to your thoughts, catch yourself thinking.\r\n\r\nIn other words: as best as you can, practice listening, to yourself, to others, and to your body. Listening is an art form that makes it easier to tap into our own inner wisdom and our body\'s wisdom.\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 13-20 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </strong>or<strong> Aquarius</strong>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in <strong>Gemini, Virgo</strong> or <strong>Sagittarius</strong> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter of Sagittarius).</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 10:55am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 16 hours, <strong>until 2:52am EDT Thursday very early morning</strong>. Use this intuitive time to empower each other in regards to earthly issues and mutually support each other in practical ways.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday all day until Thursday very early morning ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late evening</strong>, <em>a harmonious Sun/Mars aspect</em> become exact at 10:39pm EDT; <strong>we started feeling this aspect on Friday (May 18th), it has been building since then and will remain strong until the evening of next Monday, May 28th. </strong>\r\n\r\nThis aspect lets us know that we could create connections that bring us a sense of community and belonging, if we were simply to bring conscious awareness to our actions, and create a vision of a future that supports all of us,. It also brings a flow of intellectual stimulation that we can easily discuss and share with others.\r\n\r\nWe have powerful stores of energy right now that we can draw upon when needed. We respond to problems or challenges with a spirited and enthusiastic confidence that is admirable. We truly believe in equal opportunities and seem to be in love with life. When we express or experience competitiveness, or courage, it\'s easy to smile and accept these traits as positive, rather than being rubbed the wrong way. We generally have good mental and physical vitality during this transit.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>0-6 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Gemini, Aquarius, </i></b><i>or <b>Libra</b></i><i>? If so, you may feel more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Mars rules Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (May 24th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em> and<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> VoC</a> <strong>until 2:52am EDT</strong> (see Monday late evening and Wednesday late morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 2:52am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until Saturday late morning. </strong>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating -- and although these next two days are a great time for mediation, our need for peace (and aversion to direct conflict) could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might prefer.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able to see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early morning</strong>: we become more aware that we need to find a balance between two very different energies -- on the one hand,  taking a compassionate approach towards our personal goals, while being assertive in the world -- and on the other hand, our need to connect and collaborate with others. Ask yourself: what if taking a compassionate approach towards myself actually made for more fulfilling connections with others?\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning</strong>: starts out harmoniously, even though we feel an urge to make progress, and connect with others about our vision for the future.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday afternoon</strong>: we feel a need to stay within our safety zone while also connecting and collaborating -- stretch a little, and see if you can find creative ways to connect whilst honoring your need for safety and familiarity. As best as you can, listen to your feeling-body and be kind with yourself and others, if your needs do not align perfectly with others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early evening</strong>: we are invited to make some adjustments in our lives and find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations. As best as you can, look for solid foundations under any long-term goals currently underway, and for ways to create win-win outcomes for one-on-one relationships.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (May 25)</strong>:<em> the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday morning</strong>, <em>a long-lasting, harmonious Jupiter/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:52am EDT (first one of the year). Due to Jupiter\'s and Neptune\'s Station phases, <strong>we start to feel this aspect build from May 4th on, it will remain strong until July 15th. </strong>This brings the potential for deep, spiritual inspiration.\r\n\r\nExtravagance or exaggeration are possible during this time; routine is particularly unsatisfying, we easily detour from the practical path. On the other hand, this is a great time for connecting to music or spiritual endeavors -- and for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\nOur intuition is at an all-time high, as is our ability to explore our traumas and demons; we are also more able to resolve anything that is no longer empowering to us personally -- in particular, we can dissolve the fears that have kept us from deepening our relationships -- and this is also true on a collective level.\r\n\r\nGenerosity, compassion and faith will likely increase; we more readily and easily make personal sacrifices for what we see as the greater good. We have a deeper sense that all of us are part of the human family -- a sense of the unity that is possible between people, nations and all living things on this planet.\r\n\r\nThis can be a chance to increase our creativity, perceptiveness and empathy; it\'s a time to allow for things to unfold and for seeing the perfection in everything that is.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>13-19 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Scorpio, Pisces, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more blessed by this aspect; this is also true for those of us with the Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Mercury/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 9:38am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on, it will remain strong until Sunday morning. </strong>Our words and our \"speaking\" are very grounded and realistic. We can feel really empowered by what we say (and how we say it) during this time. Our conviction and passion helps us to connect and empower others.\r\n\r\nWe are strongly connected to our inner truth and can analyze and understand our motivations around long-term goals. We investigate our own thought structures in a very realistic, focused way, and look to see what needs to be communicated next.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i> <em>18-24 degrees</em><i> of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be even more blessed by this aspect than those who do not; this is also true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Scorpio</i></b> <i>(Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo, Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 5:04pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 16.5 hours,<strong> until 9:39am EDT Saturday late morning</strong>. Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments and find creative ways to work with the energies at play: On the one hand, as best as you can, collaborate with others and play nice, on the other hand, be authentic and truthful about what we want to build long-term.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday late afternoon until Saturday late morning ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (May 26th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 9:39am EDT</strong> (see Thursday very early morning and Friday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday very early morning</strong>,<em> a Venus/Saturn opposition</em> becomes exact at 2:40am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on, it will remain strong until next Monday evening (May 28th). </strong>This might be a time of relationship tests or trials: we may not be attracting the things and people that we want in our lives -- at least, not as easily as we were before this transit.\r\n\r\nThis can be eye-opening -- a signal to work on improving the \"ways\" (as well as the \"things\") that we bring to partnerships or to our finances. Doubts could be raised now. But what\'s really required is that we slow things down and be as realistic as we can possibly be.\r\n\r\nWe could be withdrawing or holding back a little, as we attempt to figure out what we want and need -- and what we can give. We are working towards ridding ourselves of self-delusion when it comes to partnerships, socializing and finances. In the process, we might feel disdain for inauthentic interactions and resent \"going through the motions\" on a social and/or mental level.\r\n\r\nOur goal here is to make more connections aligned with our own truth. Relationships built on weak foundations may not survive, but stronger ones can be improved and strengthened. Financial matters might be stressful for the time being; this forces us into a position of conservation and moderation. As best as you can, find your inner balance with this -- and on an external level with others.\r\n\r\nThink back to <strong>late Dec., 2017</strong>, when Venus was conjunct Saturn in <strong>Capricorn</strong>. With Venus opposing Saturn now, we can start to see the fruits of the seeds that were planted back then. So: What were the seeds? What are the fruits?\r\n\r\nIn other words: What has emerged since late December, in regards to who and what you value? We are also now more aware of what we have (and haven\'t) learned since then... Do you like what you see? Is there room for more learning, more integration?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>5-11 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 9:39am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until next week, Monday evening</strong> (May 28th). We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s thus an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your very best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 27th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Saturday late morning for details).\r\n\r\nSaturday night/<strong>Sunday very early morning: </strong>for the next several hours, we enjoy familiar company and surroundings -- our home is our castle.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early morning: </strong>we are invited to<strong> </strong>connect with others on a deep emotional level, and explore new points of views about our ability to make authentic connections.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late afternoon: </strong>we are likely to experience a sense of ease and flow, but may need to slow down and allow our feelings to come through. A gentle approach is best. We feel good when coming from the heart and making deeper connections with others. Being open to receiving and going with the flow are key!\r\n\r\n<strong>A heads up for next Monday (May 28th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em><strong> until 6:29pm EDT</strong>. <strong>At 1:25pm EDT,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course</a>, that last for 5 hours, <strong>until 6:29pm EDT</strong>.

This makes its energy more exalted in the sky <strong>for</strong> <strong>the next 4 weeks</strong><i>. </i>When an outer planet stations, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us -- and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\r\n\r\nPluto is associated with our soul purpose. It relates to the process of empowerment -- our ability to feel empowered from within, through the experience of wholeness -- and to our deepest passions. It is also associated with transformation, for example our ability to transform darkness into light or \"death\" into \"rebirth\". Those terms don\'t necessarily refer to physical death or rebirth, but rather some sort of ending and beginning.\r\n\r\nTo get to a place of truthfulness on the soul level, Pluto will remove what no longer serves us, replacing it with something new -- something fully aligned with our deepest passions and soul purpose. When we resist the deep changes Pluto brings, we tend to suffer; on the other hand, when we surrender and allow for that process to take place, we will move to a place of greater authenticity -- and feel a newness and empowerment from within.\r\n\r\nThe Pluto station in <strong>Capricorn</strong> amplifies our need for accomplishment and authenticity in the world that we are building not only for ourselves, but for future generations. It also sends a message about empowering ourselves and transforming anything that is no longer congruent with our long-term-goals.\r\n\r\nBecause we are placing so much focus on building and succeeding, we need to be extra aware of how much self-care we are allowing ourselves to receive at this time: as best you can, allow balance between striving for accomplishment and nurturing yourself. Reach out for support if you start to feel burned out or find yourself going down the \"rabbit-hole\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take a closer look at whatever is \"in your face\" <b>for the next 4 weeks.</b> Look for what might no longer be in alignment with your soul\'s purpose (your deep authentic Self). Ask yourself: Where am I holding on, out of fear? What habits, behaviors or fears are holding me back from feeling fully empowered from within? What would it look like, if I was fully aligned with my Soul-purpose? How would it feel? When we confront our fears we very often discover hidden gifts and strengths.\r\n\r\nYou might also want to watch my latest Forum; we looked at the Pluto station in relationship to our birth charts.

This makes its energy more exalted in the sky <strong>for</strong> <strong>the next 4 weeks</strong><i>. </i>When an outer planet stations, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us -- and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\r\n\r\nPluto is associated with our soul purpose. It relates to the process of empowerment -- our ability to feel empowered from within, through the experience of wholeness -- and to our deepest passions. It is also associated with transformation, for example our ability to transform darkness into light or \"death\" into \"rebirth\". Those terms don\'t necessarily refer to physical death or rebirth, but rather some sort of ending and beginning.\r\n\r\nTo get to a place of truthfulness on the soul level, Pluto will remove what no longer serves us, replacing it with something new -- something fully aligned with our deepest passions and soul purpose. When we resist the deep changes Pluto brings, we tend to suffer; on the other hand, when we surrender and allow for that process to take place, we will move to a place of greater authenticity -- and feel a newness and empowerment from within.\r\n\r\nThe Pluto station in <strong>Capricorn</strong> amplifies our need for accomplishment and authenticity in the world that we are building not only for ourselves, but for future generations. It also sends a message about empowering ourselves and transforming anything that is no longer congruent with our long-term-goals.\r\n\r\nBecause we are placing so much focus on building and succeeding, we need to be extra aware of how much self-care we are allowing ourselves to receive at this time: as best you can, allow balance between striving for accomplishment and nurturing yourself. Reach out for support if you start to feel burned out or find yourself going down the \"rabbit-hole\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take a closer look at whatever is \"in your face\" <b>for the next 4 weeks.</b> Look for what might no longer be in alignment with your soul\'s purpose (your deep authentic Self). Ask yourself: Where am I holding on, out of fear? What habits, behaviors or fears are holding me back from feeling fully empowered from within? What would it look like, if I was fully aligned with my Soul-purpose? How would it feel? When we confront our fears we very often discover hidden gifts and strengths.\r\n\r\nYou might also want to watch my latest Forum; we looked at the Pluto station in relationship to our birth charts.

This makes its energy more exalted in the sky <strong>for</strong> <strong>the next 4 weeks</strong><i>. </i>When an outer planet stations, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us -- and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\r\n\r\nPluto is associated with our soul purpose. It relates to the process of empowerment -- our ability to feel empowered from within, through the experience of wholeness -- and to our deepest passions. It is also associated with transformation, for example our ability to transform darkness into light or \"death\" into \"rebirth\". Those terms don\'t necessarily refer to physical death or rebirth, but rather some sort of ending and beginning.\r\n\r\nTo get to a place of truthfulness on the soul level, Pluto will remove what no longer serves us, replacing it with something new -- something fully aligned with our deepest passions and soul purpose. When we resist the deep changes Pluto brings, we tend to suffer; on the other hand, when we surrender and allow for that process to take place, we will move to a place of greater authenticity -- and feel a newness and empowerment from within.\r\n\r\nThe Pluto station in <strong>Capricorn</strong> amplifies our need for accomplishment and authenticity in the world that we are building not only for ourselves, but for future generations. It also sends a message about empowering ourselves and transforming anything that is no longer congruent with our long-term-goals.\r\n\r\nBecause we are placing so much focus on building and succeeding, we need to be extra aware of how much self-care we are allowing ourselves to receive at this time: as best you can, allow balance between striving for accomplishment and nurturing yourself. Reach out for support if you start to feel burned out or find yourself going down the \"rabbit-hole\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take a closer look at whatever is \"in your face\" <b>for the next 4 weeks.</b> Look for what might no longer be in alignment with your soul\'s purpose (your deep authentic Self). Ask yourself: Where am I holding on, out of fear? What habits, behaviors or fears are holding me back from feeling fully empowered from within? What would it look like, if I was fully aligned with my Soul-purpose? How would it feel? When we confront our fears we very often discover hidden gifts and strengths.\r\n\r\nYou might also want to watch my latest Forum; we looked at the Pluto station in relationship to our birth charts.

We know that if we want to move to the next level, we need to strategize with others.\r\n\r\nWe are also asked to connect to the unusual. Our creative core is awakened: We feel compelled to express ourselves in unique (or at least unconventional) ways.

Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>, aligned with the Sun, asks us to break away from whatever keeps us from stepping up our game. Shifts are happening everywhere. It\'s time to develop some courage and awareness: Where do you want to step up?

This makes its energy more exalted in the sky <strong>for</strong> <strong>the next 4 weeks</strong><i>. </i>When an outer planet stations, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us -- and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\r\n\r\nPluto is associated with our soul purpose. It relates to the process of empowerment -- our ability to feel empowered from within, through the experience of wholeness -- and to our deepest passions. It is also associated with transformation, for example our ability to transform darkness into light or \"death\" into \"rebirth\". Those terms don\'t necessarily refer to physical death or rebirth, but rather some sort of ending and beginning.\r\n\r\nTo get to a place of truthfulness on the soul level, Pluto will remove what no longer serves us, replacing it with something new -- something fully aligned with our deepest passions and soul purpose. When we resist the deep changes Pluto brings, we tend to suffer; on the other hand, when we surrender and allow for that process to take place, we will move to a place of greater authenticity -- and feel a newness and empowerment from within.\r\n\r\nThe Pluto station in <strong>Capricorn</strong> amplifies our need for accomplishment and authenticity in the world that we are building not only for ourselves, but for future generations. It also sends a message about empowering ourselves and transforming anything that is no longer congruent with our long-term-goals.\r\n\r\nBecause we are placing so much focus on building and succeeding, we need to be extra aware of how much self-care we are allowing ourselves to receive at this time: as best you can, allow balance between striving for accomplishment and nurturing yourself. Reach out for support if you start to feel burned out or find yourself going down the \"rabbit-hole\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take a closer look at whatever is \"in your face\" <b>for the next 4 weeks.</b> Look for what might no longer be in alignment with your soul\'s purpose (your deep authentic Self). Ask yourself: Where am I holding on, out of fear? What habits, behaviors or fears are holding me back from feeling fully empowered from within? What would it look like, if I was fully aligned with my Soul-purpose? How would it feel? When we confront our fears we very often discover hidden gifts and strengths.\r\n\r\nYou might also want to watch my latest Forum; we looked at the Pluto station in relationship to our birth charts.

We might find ourselves strongly attracted to someone, almost to the point of obsession. If this aspect connects with any of your personal planets, you might just meet the \"love of your life\". <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nOne thing is for sure -- relationships experienced now are bound to be unforgettable. While this transit tends to signal new or strengthened relationships, any relationship that ends during this cycle may leave us feeling liberated. What are you feeling drawn to on a deep instinctual level? What deep desires are surfacing? What values can you no longer compromise on?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees </i><i>of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> will be most blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Venus being the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday until 6pm EDT,</strong> if you haven\'t set your <em>Intentions</em> yet, this is your last chance to do so during the most potent time! If possible, align them with the New Moon energies that I spoke about in my last video — feel free to watch it again if you are not sure anymore — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here to watch my video on the New Moon</a>: https://youtu.be/J1ILKRA2_pI<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>;-)\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:05pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for 14 hours, <strong>until 8:02am EDT (Wednesday morning).</strong> Use this intuitive time to<span style=\"color: #993300;\"> </span>take care of anything that has value for you on a physical level.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late morning</strong>, <em>a Sun/Uranus alignment in 28.5 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> becomes exact at 10:00am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday night (April 14th) on; it will remain strong until this Saturday evening. </strong>This alignment brings confidence and a desire to connect with others through a common cause. We may have sudden insights into our friendships -- and how they connect us to a bigger vision. We know that if we want to move to the next level, we need to strategize with others.\r\n\r\nWe are also asked to connect to the unusual. Our creative core is awakened: We feel compelled to express ourselves in unique (or at least unconventional) ways. Our consciousness expands, we are receptive to new ways of thinking, doing, and living; this increased openness to all that is new and different may bring unexpected opportunities.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned in the <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">New Moon video</a> (https://youtu.be/J1ILKRA2_pI) I posted earlier last week, Uranus symbolizes the desire for freedom, equality and progress. Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>, aligned with the Sun, asks us to break away from whatever keeps us from stepping up our game. Shifts are happening everywhere. It\'s time to develop some courage and awareness: Where do you want to step up? If you made a big leap, where might you land?\r\n\r\nOne thing to remember: Keeping the heart and mind open could make a big difference to the experience of this alignment.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 25-2 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Cancer, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>?

The Sun in Taurus reminds us to slow down and smell the roses.\r\n\r\nWe are able to be very consistent and methodical, which helps us bring groundedness and reality to our new goals. We focus on what is most important to us. What do you value most? How do you feel about yourself and what you bring to the table?\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign.

Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday around 11:16am EDT: i</strong>f you set <i>intentions</i> last Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday, right after the New Moon became exact, <strong>today</strong> will be a <i>great time to take relevant actions</i>.

Pluto\'s energy will continue to move more slowly until May 5th.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs I already mentioned on Monday, when an outer planet stops, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us -- and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\r\n\r\nDuring the retrograde phase, we will have a chance to connect to anything associated with Pluto from within. Pluto is associated with our soul purpose, as well as the process of empowerment -- our ability to feel empowered from within -- and with our deepest passions. This forced us to see what really motivates us.\r\n\r\n<strong>For the next 5 months,</strong> we need to tap into inner authenticity, embracing the entirety of ourselves — the good, the bad, and the ugly. Paradoxically, this will help us let go of any habits, behaviors or fears that are holding us back from feeling fully empowered from within.\r\n\r\nWe are invited to tap into our passion, strength and Soul\'s purpose from the inside out. This deeper connection will support us in our journey towards authenticity. We can then build long-term goals that are aligned with our Soul\'s purpose. Ask yourself: What do I \"just know\", deep down?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-23 degrees of</i> <b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><i>? If so,<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>you will feel this station/retrograde more strongly.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b> <i>(Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i> <i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 1:09pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into fun and attention-loving </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Tuesday late afternoon.</strong><b> </b>We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nIf there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\nThis Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Saturday late evening).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early evening, at 5:46pm EDT</strong>, <i>the first Quarter Moon in almost 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo </i></b>becomes exact. <b>We started to feel this aspect from the moment the Moon entered Leo <strong> earlier today at 1:09pm EDT</strong>. </b>The Moon in fun and attention-loving <b>Leo </b>makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in steady,<i> </i>peaceful <b>Taurus</b><b>.</b>\r\n\r\nWe feel compelled to take action. The New Moon took place a week ago (April 15th); \"seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making their first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day interactions with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 0-5 degrees of</i><b><i> Leo, Taurus, Aquarius</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>?

We experience new depths of intimacy (with an existing or new partner), we learn to appreciate the important people in our lives, and our value system transforms and evolves.\r\n\r\nThis is likely an excellent period for finances as well. Work we\'ve done might pay off, and we are able to manage our finances better, with more attention to sustainability, planning, and strategy -- as well as the elimination of anything that no longer serves us. We might renew a commitment, or bring new, deeper and more intimate energy into a relationship under the influence of this aspect.\r\n\r\nOur sexual lives might get a real boost now, as we tend to want to connect on a deeper level. We might find ourselves strongly attracted to someone, almost to the point of obsession. If this aspect connects with any of your personal planets, you might just meet the \"love of your life\". <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nOne thing is for sure -- relationships experienced now are bound to be unforgettable. While this transit tends to signal new or strengthened relationships, any relationship that ends during this cycle may leave us feeling liberated. What are you feeling drawn to on a deep instinctual level? What deep desires are surfacing? What values can you no longer compromise on?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees </i><i>of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> will be most blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Venus being the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday until 6pm EDT,</strong> if you haven\'t set your <em>Intentions</em> yet, this is your last chance to do so during the most potent time! If possible, align them with the New Moon energies that I spoke about in my last video — feel free to watch it again if you are not sure anymore — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here to watch my video on the New Moon</a>: https://youtu.be/J1ILKRA2_pI<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>;-)\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:05pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for 14 hours, <strong>until 8:02am EDT (Wednesday morning).</strong> Use this intuitive time to<span style=\"color: #993300;\"> </span>take care of anything that has value for you on a physical level.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

We will also get clear on what is realistic when it comes to achieving our goals.\r\n\r\nThis is partly because our physical realities may feel like they have come to a complete halt. Take a deep breath whenever you can, as often as you can (especially Monday through Wednesday night of this week).\r\n\r\nSaturn represents our structures, responsibilities, commitments -- and our ability to \"do\" life on life\'s terms. When this planet comes to a halt and turns retrograde, we get to see where we need to create or renew our commitments. As best as you can, take it all in and see where you would like to make adjustments. You will get a chance to do just that for the next 4.5 months.\r\n\r\nFeel free to watch our mp4 video presentation on this month\'s Saturn and Pluto Station and Retrograde phases in relation to our own Birth charts...To purchase this webinar, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">click here.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span></a>\r\n\r\n<b>Remember the Special Offer: </b>If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE -- two for one ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>If you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-10 degrees of</i><b><i> </i></b><b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Aries</i></b><b><i> </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Libra,</i></b><i> you will be more affected by this station and retrograde-phase. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (Saturn being the ruler of Capricorn).</i> <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (April 18th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">steady, peaceful  </span><strong>Taurus</strong></em><strong> </strong>and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><strong> until 8:02am EDT</strong> (see Monday early morning and Tuesday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 8:02am EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <strong>until Friday late morning</strong>. For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way... The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late morning</strong>, <em>a Sun/Uranus alignment in 28.5 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> becomes exact at 10:00am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday night (April 14th) on; it will remain strong until this Saturday evening. </strong>This alignment brings confidence and a desire to connect with others through a common cause. We may have sudden insights into our friendships -- and how they connect us to a bigger vision. We know that if we want to move to the next level, we need to strategize with others.\r\n\r\nWe are also asked to connect to the unusual. Our creative core is awakened: We feel compelled to express ourselves in unique (or at least unconventional) ways. Our consciousness expands, we are receptive to new ways of thinking, doing, and living; this increased openness to all that is new and different may bring unexpected opportunities.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned in the <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">New Moon video</a> (https://youtu.be/J1ILKRA2_pI) I posted earlier last week, Uranus symbolizes the desire for freedom, equality, and progress. Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>, aligned with the Sun, asks us to break away from whatever keeps us from stepping up our game. Shifts are happening everywhere. It\'s time to develop some courage and awareness: Where do you want to step up? If you made a big leap, where might you land?\r\n\r\nOne thing to remember: Keeping the heart and mind open could make a big difference to the experience of this alignment.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 25-2 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Cancer, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius) </i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (April 19th)</strong>: <i>the</i> <i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><strong> all day</strong> (see Wednesday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 11:13pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Sun changes signs from adventurous, speedy </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> to peaceful, steady </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until May 20th</strong><b>. </b>For the next four weeks, our attention is on physical pleasures, and we are more aware of our need for comfort and consistency. The Sun in Taurus reminds us to slow down and smell the roses.\r\n\r\nWe are able to be very consistent and methodical, which helps us bring groundedness and reality to our new goals. We focus on what is most important to us. What do you value most? How do you feel about yourself and what you bring to the table?\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Taurus, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo, your vitality will most likely slow down and you might indulge in physical or material pleasures.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (April 20th)</strong>: <i>the</i> <i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><strong> until 10:26am EDT</strong> (see Wednesday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 8:05am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 2.5 hours, <strong>until 10:26am EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday morning ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon sextiles Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 10:26am EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Sunday early afternoon</strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday around 11:16am EDT: i</strong>f you set <i>intentions</i> last Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday, right after the New Moon became exact, <strong>today</strong> will be a <i>great time to take relevant actions</i>. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to you?\r\n\r\nAlso <strong>on Friday</strong>, <i>Mercury resumes its normal pace through the sky <strong>today</strong>, ending its station:</i> Communication and transportation are now back to “normal”, as are any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc. New ideas and information received during the Mercury retrograde phase can now be reviewed -- What could you do with that now?\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (April 21st)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>protective, nurturing </i><strong>Cancer</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Friday late morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday early afternoon, </strong>we are in a state of “flow” and emotional connection to others; spiritual and creative endeavors are favored. <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><i>Moon in </i><b><i>Cancer </i></b><i>trines Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> <em>at 12:44pm EDT -- post at 11am EDT</em></i></span>\r\n\r\n<em><strong>Saturday early evening:</strong></em> our instincts and need for safety are strongly engaged.

You may also want to plan Sunday late morning and early afternoon ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon squares Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 11:26am EDT</strong>, <i>Pluto comes to a halt in 21 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, starting its 5-month retrograde phase</i> (until Sept. 30th). Pluto\'s energy will continue to move more slowly until May 5th.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs I already mentioned on Monday, when an outer planet stops, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us -- and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\r\n\r\nDuring the retrograde phase, we will have a chance to connect to anything associated with Pluto from within. Pluto is associated with our soul purpose, as well as the process of empowerment -- our ability to feel empowered from within -- and with our deepest passions. This forced us to see what really motivates us.\r\n\r\n<strong>For the next 5 months,</strong> we need to tap into inner authenticity, embracing the entirety of ourselves — the good, the bad, and the ugly. Paradoxically, this will help us let go of any habits, behaviors or fears that are holding us back from feeling fully empowered from within.\r\n\r\nWe are invited to tap into our passion, strength and Soul\'s purpose from the inside out. This deeper connection will support us in our journey towards authenticity. We can then build long-term goals that are aligned with our Soul\'s purpose. Ask yourself: What do I \"just know\", deep down?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-23 degrees of</i> <b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><i>? If so,<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>you will feel this station/retrograde more strongly.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b> <i>(Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i> <i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 1:09pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into fun-loving (and attention-loving) </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Tuesday late afternoon.</strong><b> </b>We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nIf there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\nThis Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Saturday late evening).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early evening, at 5:46pm EDT</strong>, <i>the first Quarter Moon in almost 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo </i></b>becomes exact. <b>We started to feel this aspect from the moment the Moon entered Leo <strong> earlier today at 1:09pm EDT</strong>. </b>The Moon in fun and attention-loving <b>Leo </b>makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in steady,<i> </i>peaceful <b>Taurus</b><b>.</b>\r\n\r\nWe feel compelled to take action. The New Moon took place a week ago (April 15th); \"seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making their first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day interactions with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 0-5 degrees of</i><b><i> Leo, Taurus, Aquarius</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>?

This felt very much in alignment with the Station phases and Chiron in that last degree of Pisces! :-)\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: Pluto\'s Station intensifies on Monday, Chiron changes signs from Pisces to Aries on Tuesday early morning, Saturn comes to a halt on Tuesday late evening -- starting its 4.5-month retrograde phase -- while the Sun changes signs from Aries to Taurus on Thursday late evening. Mercury\'s Station phase ends on Friday, which is also the day you can start taking actions on your New Moon Intentions. Finally, Pluto comes to a halt on Sunday, starting its 5-month retrograde phase.\r\n\r\nThere will also be four <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Monday very early morning (for almost 3 hours), Tuesday early evening (for 14 hours), Friday morning (for almost 2.5 hours), and Sunday late morning (for a little over 2 hours).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (April 16th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in </em><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><em>pioneering, fast-paced </em> </span><em><strong>Aries</strong></em><strong> until 4:51am EDT. </strong><strong>At 1:59am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 3 hours, <strong>until 4:51am EDT. </strong>Use this intuitive time to connect with people that can enthusiastically support your projects and share with them what you have going on.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Monday early morning ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 4:51am EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves</i><b> </b><i>into steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday early morning</strong><b>.</b> We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.\r\n\r\nIn other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\nAlso<b> on Monday</b>, <i>Pluto station intensifies</i><i> </i><b>until April 28th. </b>It will come to a halt on April 22nd in 21 degrees of <b>Capricorn </b>(more on that later this week). When an outer planet stations, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us -- and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take a closer look at whatever is \"in your face\" <b>for the next 3 weeks.</b> Look for what might no longer be in alignment with your soul\'s purpose (your deep, authentic, emotional Self).\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Where am I holding on, out of fear? What habits, behaviors or fears are holding me back from feeling fully empowered from within? What would it look like, if I was fully aligned with my Soul-purpose? How would it feel? When we confront our fears we very often discover hidden gifts and strengths.\r\n\r\nFeel free to watch our mp4 video presentation on this month\'s Saturn and Pluto Station and Retrograde phases in relationship to our own Birth charts...To purchase this webinar, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">click here. </a>\r\n\r\n<b>Special Offer extended until April 22nd: </b>If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-) <b>Please note </b>that we will be talking about Chiron moving into Aries and Uranus moving into Taurus, in our next Forum. Major shifts ahead!\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 19-23 degrees of</i><b><i> Capricorn, Aries, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this station more strongly.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio). </i>\r\n\r\nLast but not least, <b>Monday all day: </b>If you haven\'t gotten around to it yet,<i> </i><i>set your Intentions</i> for this Moon cycle...

In the same spirit, we might also have a tendency to live beyond our means.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs you can see, we need to watch out for feeling overly-optimistic or -enthusiastic. Moderation is the keyword, with regard to both finances and our affections: Check your bank account... and keep it real ;-) Find the balance between what you value in yourself versus what others could contribute to your sense of empowerment.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\nOn <b>Tuesday at 4:12am EDT</b>, <i>Chiron moves from dreamy, sensitive <b>Pisces</b> to fast-paced, enthusiastic <b>Aries</b>, </i>where it will journey <b>until Sept. 25th</b> -- you can regard this as a preview of coming attractions, since Chiron will move into Aries in 2019... and then stay in that sign for 8 years!\r\n\r\nWhat is the significance of Chiron? It\'s considered the bridge between the limitations of the physical and the unlimited nature of the non-physical (or spiritual) world. Often referred to as the \"Wounded Healer\", it reminds us of our humanity -- and guides us to see it as a gift.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWhen we take responsibility for our human limitations and move past seeing them as \"wrong\" or \"bad\", our inner gifts and uniqueness can emerge more completely and powerfully.\r\n\r\nLet\'s look now at <b>Chiron </b>in<b> Aries:</b><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>The day after Chiron moves into Aries, the Sun conjuncts Uranus in that same sign. This points to the possibility that Chiron\'s journey through Aries will place a strong emphasis on liberation of the self.\r\n\r\nChiron in <strong>Aries</strong> is all about the wounded warrior, the Healer-Hero that emerges from a Warrior\'s healing journey. The healing path consists of seeing, acknowledging, embracing, and finally loving ourselves just as we are: physically, emotionally<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>and spiritually -- especially when it comes to our personal goals, leadership and inspirational abilities, our ability to take action, our \"masculine\" drive.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nBroadly speaking, then: our capacity to go after what we desire...\r\n\r\nWe get to see that we all have the ability to heal, and be healed, through our actions. Each of us can step into our inner healer in our own unique way.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nYou can ask yourself: What is the next step on the path of healing for my inner child, my inner wounding? How were my ancestors wounded around \"the masculine\"? What step can I personally take on that healing path?\r\n\r\nChiron in <strong>Aries</strong> also has us look at some of the following: How we express our anger (or how we do not express it), how we might further heal our relationship to our body (this includes sexuality, gender, etc.) and our personal desires; how we do or do not take initiative, display courage, and practice self-determination.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAsk: What would a healthy sense of identity, independence, and willpower enable me to do? Might accepting my limitations lead to unique ways to move with those energies? What makes me an individual? What are my unique desires and goals?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nThere is also an emphasis on injuries (especially head injuries), physical flaws, issues around anger and assertion of our anger, impatience, being ok with who we are. All of these issues could feel sensitive and fire off our \"triggers\" or bring up shame.\r\n\r\nOne thing is for sure: Chiron in Aries will show us a new perspective and will open new doors of healing for us -- likely a physically active Healing Journey. To the extent that this transit highlights our leadership abilities, the journey is toward becoming a different kind of leader, a non-traditional one.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nThis question lies at the heart of that journey: How do we channel our masculine energy?\r\n\r\nThis is a very important question, if we are to become a conscious, holistic warrior. Picture the film actors Bruce Lee, Jet Li, or Michelle Yeah -- they are consciously connecting the active physical with the emotional and spiritual -- through martial arts in their case -- you might also picture a great practitioner of Yoga -- we\'re talking here about a conscious, holistic relationship to physical dynamics.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWhat do we see in great practitioners of these arts?\r\n\r\nAmong other things, they seem to understand that impatience is wanting to move faster than what is required in the now moment.\r\n\r\nThey take responsibility for their triggers around reactivity, impatience, aggression, inconsiderate leadership, etc. and have an understanding for where it comes from (ancestors history, childhood) and what the impact is on others.\r\n\r\nThey look for unique ways to express themselves and channel those energies in a healthy way, sometimes in a new, non-traditional way. They ask \"What might be the alternatives here?\"\r\n\r\nThey are compassionate with themselves and others when it comes to expressing masculine energies.\r\n\r\nLike them, this journey of Chiron through <strong>Aries</strong> is not about aggression, but rather assertiveness. For all of us, whatever our starting point, it is also about acknowledging and embracing limitations around anger. We also need an open, compassionate awareness as to whether we are responding or \"reacting\" to our circumstances.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs we develop understanding for our inner \"wounded\" child and our \"human\" limitations (in parallel with the above) we build a space for compassion. In fact, I recommend you celebrate your limitations. Why? Because that means you are compassionately aware of them -- and awareness is always the first step towards healing.\r\n\r\nWalking these paths can continually recreate us as leaders with an holistic approach and a healing, compassionate presence.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWere you born between April 1968 and May 1976? Or Oct. 1976 - March 1977? If the answer is yes, you have Chiron in Aries in your a natal chart and will have a Chiron Return within the next 8-9years.\r\n\r\nIn the next Forum, we\'ll be talking about Chiron moving into <strong>Aries</strong> and Uranus moving into <strong>Taurus</strong> -- major shifts! And here\'s our <b>Special Offer again: </b>if you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for the next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get that Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar recording mentioned above for FREE ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 0-3 degrees</i><b><i> </i></b><i>of</i><b><i><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> Aries, Libra, </span>Capricorn, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this transit over the next 5.5 months. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, since Chiron will move through this sign until April 2027.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 9:04am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening (April 14th) on; it will remain strong until this Thursday evening.</strong> This aspect brings a fruitful and rewarding period in our lives. We experience new depths of intimacy (with an existing or new partner), we learn to appreciate the important people in our lives, and our value system transforms and evolves.\r\n\r\nThis is likely an excellent period for finances as well. Work we\'ve done might pay off, and we are able to manage our finances better, with more attention to sustainability, planning, and strategy -- as well as the elimination of anything that no longer serves us. We might renew a commitment, or bring new, deeper and more intimate energy into a relationship under the influence of this aspect.\r\n\r\nOur sexual lives might get a real boost now, as we tend to want to connect on a deeper level. We might find ourselves strongly attracted to someone, almost to the point of obsession. If this aspect connects with any of your personal planets, you might just meet the \"love of your life\". <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nOne thing is for sure -- relationships experienced now are bound to be unforgettable. While this transit tends to signal new or strengthened relationships, any relationship that ends during this cycle may leave us feeling liberated. What are you feeling drawn to on a deep instinctual level? What deep desires are surfacing? What values can you no longer compromise on?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees </i><i>of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> will be most blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Venus being the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday until 6pm EDT,</strong> if you haven\'t set your <em>Intentions</em> yet, this is your last chance to do so during the most potent time! If possible, align them with the New Moon energies that I spoke about in my last video — feel free to watch it again if you are not sure anymore — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here to watch my video on the New Moon</a>: https://youtu.be/J1ILKRA2_pI<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>;-)\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:05pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for 14 hours, <strong>until 8:02am EDT (Wednesday morning).</strong> Use this intuitive time to<span style=\"color: #993300;\"> </span>take care of anything that has value for you on a physical level.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

We will also get clear on what is realistic when it comes to achieving our goals.\r\n\r\nThis is partly because our physical realities may feel like they have come to a complete halt. Take a deep breath whenever you can, as often as you can (especially Monday through Wednesday night of this week).\r\n\r\nSaturn represents our structures, responsibilities, commitments -- and our ability to \"do\" life on life\'s terms. When this planet comes to a halt and turns retrograde, we get to see where we need to create or renew our commitments.

The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late morning</strong>, <em>a Sun/Uranus alignment in 28.5 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> becomes exact at 10:00am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday night (April 14th) on; it will remain strong until this Saturday evening. </strong>This alignment brings confidence and a desire to connect with others through a common cause. We may have sudden insights into our friendships -- and how they connect us to a bigger vision. We know that if we want to move to the next level, we need to strategize with others.\r\n\r\nWe are also asked to connect to the unusual. Our creative core is awakened: We feel compelled to express ourselves in unique (or at least unconventional) ways. Our consciousness expands, we are receptive to new ways of thinking, doing, and living; this increased openness to all that is new and different may bring unexpected opportunities.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned in the <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">New Moon video</a> I posted earlier last week, Uranus symbolizes the desire for freedom, equality, and progress. Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>, aligned with the Sun, asks us to break away from whatever keeps us from stepping up our game. Shifts are happening everywhere. It\'s time to develop some courage and awareness: Where do you want to step up? If you made a big leap, where might you land?\r\n\r\nOne thing to remember: Keeping the heart and mind open could make a big difference to the experience of this alignment.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 25-2 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Cancer, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius) </i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (April 19th)</strong>: <i>the</i> <i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><strong> all day</strong> (see Wednesday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 11:13pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Sun changes signs from adventurous, speedy </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> to peaceful, steady </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until May 20th</strong><b>. </b>For the next four weeks, our attention is on physical pleasures, and we are more aware of our need for comfort and consistency. The Sun in Taurus reminds us to slow down and smell the roses.\r\n\r\nWe are able to be very consistent and methodical, which helps us bring groundedness and reality to our new goals. We focus on what is most important to us. What do you value most? How do you feel about yourself and what you bring to the table?\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Taurus, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo, your vitality will most likely slow down and you might indulge in physical or material pleasures.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (April 20th)</strong>: <i>the</i> <i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><strong> until 10:26am EDT</strong> (see Wednesday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 8:05am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 2.5 hours, <strong>until 10:26am EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday morning ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 10:26am EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Sunday early afternoon</strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday around 11:16am EDT: i</strong>f you set <i>intentions</i> last Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday, right after the New Moon became exact, <strong>today</strong> will be a <i>great time to take relevant actions</i>. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to you?\r\n\r\nAlso <strong>on Friday</strong>, <i>Mercury resumes its normal pace through the sky <strong>today</strong>, ending its station:</i> Communication and transportation are now back to “normal”, as are any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc. New ideas and information received during the Mercury retrograde phase can now be reviewed -- What could you do with that now?\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (April 21st)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>protective, nurturing </i><strong>Cancer</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Friday late morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday early afternoon, </strong>we are in a state of “flow” and emotional connection to others; spiritual and creative endeavors are favored.\r\n\r\n<em><strong>Saturday early evening:</strong></em> our instincts and need for safety are strongly engaged. We are invited to create a balance between the familiar, and our passion, ambitions, and goals for the future.\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday evening, </b>a nice feeling of ease and an ability to trust and connect deeply with others. As best as you can, trust your intuitive sensing right now, allow whatever comes up to be beneficial for you.\r\n\r\n<b>I</b><b>n the late evening,</b> we may take an all-or-northing attitude toward others; this could drive some tension or oppositional behaviors... As best you can, remain flexible and practice self-care — take good care of your emotional and physical body -- that way, you\'ll remain able to empower yourself and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (April 22nd)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Cancer</strong></em><strong> until 1:09pm EDT</strong> (see Friday late morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 10:58am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 2 hours, <strong>until 1:09pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to make adjustments and (as best as you can) find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. Make space both for going after your vision and for taking care of emotional or family issues.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday late morning and early afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 11:26am EDT</strong>, <i>Pluto comes to a halt in 21 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, starting its 5-month retrograde phase</i> (until Sept. 30th). Pluto\'s energy will continue to move more slowly until May 5th.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs I already mentioned on Monday, when an outer planet stops, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us -- and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\r\n\r\nDuring the retrograde phase, we will have a chance to connect to anything associated with Pluto from within. Pluto is associated with our soul purpose, as well as the process of empowerment -- our ability to feel empowered from within -- and with our deepest passions. This forced us to see what really motivates us.\r\n\r\n<strong>For the next 5 months,</strong> we need to tap into inner authenticity, embracing the entirety of ourselves — the good, the bad, and the ugly. Paradoxically, this will help us let go of any habits, behaviors or fears that are holding us back from feeling fully empowered from within.\r\n\r\nWe are invited to tap into our passion, strength and Soul\'s purpose from the inside out. This deeper connection will support us in our journey towards authenticity. We can then build long-term goals that are aligned with our Soul\'s purpose. Ask yourself: What do I \"just know\", deep down?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-23 degrees of</i> <b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><i>? If so,<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>you will feel this station/retrograde more strongly.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b> <i>(Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i> <i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 1:09pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into fun-loving (and attention-loving) </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Tuesday late afternoon.</strong><b> </b>We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nIf there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\nThis Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Saturday late evening).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early evening, at 5:46pm EDT</strong>, <i>the first Quarter Moon in almost 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo </i></b>becomes exact. <b>We started to feel this aspect from the moment the Moon entered Leo <strong> earlier today at 1:09pm EDT</strong>. </b>The Moon in fun and attention-loving <b>Leo </b>makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in steady,<i> </i>peaceful <b>Taurus</b><b>.</b>\r\n\r\nWe feel compelled to take action. The New Moon took place a week ago (April 15th); \"seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making their first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day interactions with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 0-5 degrees of</i><b><i> Leo, Taurus, Aquarius</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>?

We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take a closer look at whatever is \"in your face\" <b>for the next 3 weeks.</b> Look for what might no longer be in alignment with your soul\'s purpose (your deep, authentic, emotional Self).\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Where am I holding on, out of fear? What habits, behaviors or fears are holding me back from feeling fully empowered from within? What would it look like, if I was fully aligned with my Soul-purpose? How would it feel? When we confront our fears we very often discover hidden gifts and strengths.\r\n\r\nFeel free to watch our mp4 video presentation on this month\'s Saturn and Pluto Station and Retrograde phases in relationship to our own Birth charts...To purchase this webinar, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">click here. </a>\r\n\r\n<b>Special Offer: </b>If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-) <b>Please note </b>that we will be talking about Chiron moving into Aries and Uranus moving into Taurus, in our next Forum.

In the same spirit, we might also have a tendency to live beyond our means.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs you can see, we need to watch out for feeling overly-optimistic or -enthusiastic. Moderation is the keyword, with regard to both finances and our affections: Check your bank account... and keep it real ;-) Find the balance between what you value in yourself versus what others could contribute to your sense of empowerment.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\nOn <b>Tuesday at 4:12am EDT</b>, <i>Chiron moves from <strong>Pisces</strong> into <strong>Aries</strong>, </i>where it will journey <b>until September 25th</b> -- you can regard this as a preview of coming attractions, since Chiron will move into Aries in 2019... and then stay in that sign for 8 years!\r\n\r\nWhat is the significance of Chiron? It\'s considered the bridge between the limitations of the physical and the unlimited nature of the non-physical (or spiritual) world. Often referred to as the \"Wounded Healer\", it reminds us of our humanity -- and guides us to see it as a gift.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWhen we take responsibility for our human limitations and move past seeing them as \"wrong\" or \"bad\", our inner gifts and uniqueness can emerge more completely and powerfully.\r\n\r\nLet\'s look now at <b>Chiron </b>in<b> Aries:</b><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>The day after Chiron moves into Aries, the Sun conjuncts Uranus in that same sign. This points to the possibility that Chiron\'s journey through Aries will place a strong emphasis on liberation of the self.\r\n\r\nChiron in <strong>Aries</strong> is all about the wounded warrior, the Healer-Hero that emerges from a Warrior\'s healing journey. The healing path consists of seeing, acknowledging, embracing, and finally loving ourselves just as we are: physically, emotionally<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>and spiritually -- especially when it comes to our personal goals, leadership and inspirational abilities, our ability to take action, our \"masculine\" drive.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nBroadly speaking, then: our capacity to go after what we desire...\r\n\r\nWe get to see that we all have the ability to heal, and be healed, through our actions. Each of us can step into our inner healer in our own unique way.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nYou can ask yourself: What is the next step on the path of healing for my inner child, my inner wounding? How were my ancestors wounded around \"the masculine\"? What step can I personally take on that healing path?\r\n\r\nChiron in <strong>Aries</strong> also has us look at some of the following: How we express our anger (or how we do not express it), how we might further heal our relationship to our body (this includes sexuality, gender, etc.) and our personal desires; how we do or do not take initiative, display courage, and practice self-determination.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAsk: What would a healthy sense of identity, independence, and willpower enable me to do? Might accepting my limitations lead to unique ways to move with those energies? What makes me an individual? What are my unique desires and goals?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nThere is also an emphasis on injuries (especially head injuries), physical flaws, issues around anger and assertion of our anger, impatience, being ok with who we are. All of these issues could feel sensitive and fire off our \"triggers\" or bring up shame.\r\n\r\nOne thing is for sure: Chiron in Aries will show us a new perspective and will open new doors of healing for us -- likely a physically active Healing Journey. To the extent that this transit highlights our leadership abilities, the journey is toward becoming a different kind of leader, a non-traditional one.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nThis question lies at the heart of that journey: How do we channel our masculine energy?\r\n\r\nThis is a very important question, if we are to become a conscious, holistic warrior. Picture the film actors Bruce Lee, Jet Li, or Michelle Yeah -- they are consciously connecting the active physical with the emotional and spiritual -- through martial arts in their case -- you might also picture a great practitioner of Yoga -- we\'re talking here about a conscious, holistic relationship to physical dynamics.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWhat do we see in great practitioners of these arts?\r\n\r\nAmong other things, they seem to understand that impatience is wanting to move faster than what is required in the now moment.\r\n\r\nThey take responsibility for their triggers around reactivity, impatience, aggression, inconsiderate leadership, etc. and have an understanding for where it comes from (ancestors history, childhood) and what the impact is on others.\r\n\r\nThey look for unique ways to express themselves and channel those energies in a healthy way, sometimes in a new, non-traditional way. They ask \"What might be the alternatives here?\"\r\n\r\nThey are compassionate with themselves and others when it comes to expressing masculine energies.\r\n\r\nLike them, this journey of Chiron through <strong>Aries</strong> is not about aggression, but rather assertiveness. For all of us, whatever our starting point, it is also about acknowledging and embracing limitations around anger. We also need an open, compassionate awareness as to whether we are responding or \"reacting\" to our circumstances.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs we develop understanding for our inner \"wounded\" child and our \"human\" limitations (in parallel with the above) we build a space for compassion. In fact, I recommend you celebrate your limitations. Why? Because that means you are compassionately aware of them -- and awareness is always the first step towards healing.\r\n\r\nWalking these paths can continually recreate us as leaders with an holistic approach and a healing, compassionate presence.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWere you born between April 1968 and May 1976? Or Oct. 1976 - March 1977? If the answer is yes, you have Chiron in Aries in your a natal chart and will have a Chiron Return within the next 8-9years.\r\n\r\nIn the next Forum, we\'ll be talking about Chiron moving into <strong>Aries</strong> and Uranus moving into <strong>Taurus</strong> -- major shifts! And here\'s our <b>Special Offer again: </b>if you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for the next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get that Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar recording mentioned above for FREE ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 0-3 degrees</i><b><i> </i></b><i>of</i><b><i><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> Aries, Libra, </span>Capricorn, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

We experience new depths of intimacy (with an existing or new partner), we learn to appreciate the important people in our lives, and our value system transforms and evolves.\r\n\r\nThis is likely an excellent period for finances as well. Work we\'ve done might pay off, and we are able to manage our finances better, with more attention to sustainability, planning, and strategy -- as well as the elimination of anything that no longer serves us. We might renew a commitment, or bring new, deeper and more intimate energy into a relationship under the influence of this aspect.\r\n\r\nOur sexual lives might get a real boost now, as we tend to want to connect on a deeper level. We might find ourselves strongly attracted to someone, almost to the point of obsession. If this aspect connects with any of your personal planets, you might just meet the \"love of your life\". <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nOne thing is for sure -- relationships experienced now are bound to be unforgettable. While this transit tends to signal new or strengthened relationships, any relationship that ends during this cycle may leave us feeling liberated. What are you feeling drawn to on a deep instinctual level? What deep desires are surfacing? What values can you no longer compromise on?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees </i><i>of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> will be most blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Venus being the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday until 6pm EDT,</strong> if you haven\'t set your <em>Intentions</em> yet, this is your last chance to do so during the most potent time! If possible, align them with the New Moon energies that I spoke about in my last video — feel free to watch it again if you are not sure anymore — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here to watch my video on the New Moon</a>: https://youtu.be/J1ILKRA2_pI<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>;-)\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:05pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for 14 hours, <strong>until 8:02am EDT (Wednesday morning).</strong> Use this intuitive time to<span style=\"color: #993300;\"> </span>take care of anything that has value for you on a physical level.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

We may have sudden insights into our friendships -- and how they connect us to a bigger vision. We know that if we want to move to the next level, we need to strategize with others.\r\n\r\nWe are also asked to connect to the unusual. Our creative core is awakened: We feel compelled to express ourselves in unique (or at least unconventional) ways. Our consciousness expands, we are receptive to new ways of thinking, doing, and living; this increased openness to all that is new and different may bring unexpected opportunities.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned in the <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">New Moon video</a> (https://youtu.be/J1ILKRA2_pI) I posted earlier last week, Uranus symbolizes the desire for freedom, equality, and progress. Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>, aligned with the Sun, asks us to break away from whatever keeps us from stepping up our game. Shifts are happening everywhere. It\'s time to develop some courage and awareness: Where do you want to step up? If you made a big leap, where might you land?\r\n\r\nOne thing to remember: Keeping the heart and mind open could make a big difference to the experience of this alignment.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 25-2 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Cancer, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>?

Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday around 11:16am EDT: i</strong>f you set <i>intentions</i> last Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday, right after the New Moon became exact, <strong>today</strong> will be a <i>great time to take relevant actions</i>.

Pluto\'s energy will continue to move more slowly until May 5th.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs I already mentioned on Monday, when an outer planet stops, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us -- and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\r\n\r\nDuring the retrograde phase, we will have a chance to connect to anything associated with Pluto from within. Pluto is associated with our soul purpose, as well as the process of empowerment -- our ability to feel empowered from within -- and with our deepest passions. This forced us to see what really motivates us.\r\n\r\n<strong>For the next 5 months,</strong> we need to tap into inner authenticity, embracing the entirety of ourselves — the good, the bad, and the ugly. Paradoxically, this will help us let go of any habits, behaviors or fears that are holding us back from feeling fully empowered from within.\r\n\r\nWe are invited to tap into our passion, strength and Soul\'s purpose from the inside out. This deeper connection will support us in our journey towards authenticity. We can then build long-term goals that are aligned with our Soul\'s purpose. Ask yourself: What do I \"just know\", deep down?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-23 degrees of</i> <b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><i>?

We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nIf there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\nThis Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Saturday late evening).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early evening, at 5:46pm EDT</strong>, <i>the first Quarter Moon in almost 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo </i></b>becomes exact. <b>We started to feel this aspect from the moment the Moon entered Leo <strong> earlier today at 1:09pm EDT</strong>. </b>The Moon in fun and attention-loving <b>Leo </b>makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in steady,<i> </i>peaceful <b>Taurus</b><b>.</b>\r\n\r\nWe feel compelled to take action. The New Moon took place a week ago (April 15th); \"seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making their first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time.

Mercury\'s Station phase ends on Friday, which is also the day you can start taking actions on your New Moon Intentions. Finally, Pluto comes to a halt on Sunday, starting its 5-month retrograde phase.\r\n\r\nThere will also be four <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Monday very early morning (for almost 3 hours), Tuesday early evening (for 14 hours), Friday morning (for almost 2.5 hours), and Sunday late morning (for a little over 2 hours).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (April 16th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in </em><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><em>pioneering, fast-paced </em> </span><em><strong>Aries</strong></em><strong> until 4:51am EDT. </strong><strong>At 1:59am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 3 hours, <strong>until 4:51am EDT. </strong>Use this intuitive time to connect with people that can enthusiastically support your projects and share with them what you have going on.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\nAlso<b> on Monday</b>, <i>Pluto station intensifies</i><i> </i><b>until April 28th. </b>It will come to a halt on April 22nd in 21 degrees of <b>Capricorn </b>(more on that later this week). When an outer planet stations, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us -- and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take a closer look at whatever is \"in your face\" <b>for the next 3 weeks.</b> Look for what might no longer be in alignment with your soul\'s purpose (your deep, authentic, emotional Self).\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Where am I holding on, out of fear? What habits, behaviors or fears are holding me back from feeling fully empowered from within? What would it look like, if I was fully aligned with my Soul-purpose? How would it feel? When we confront our fears we very often discover hidden gifts and strengths.\r\n\r\nFeel free to watch our mp4 video presentation on this month\'s Saturn and Pluto Station and Retrograde phases in relationship to our own Birth charts...To purchase this webinar, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">click here. </a>\r\n\r\n<b>Special Offer: </b>If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-) <b>Please note </b>that we will be talking about Chiron moving into Aries and Uranus moving into Taurus, in our next Forum.

In the same spirit, we might also have a tendency to live beyond our means.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs you can see, we need to watch out for feeling overly-optimistic or -enthusiastic. Moderation is the keyword, with regard to both finances and our affections: Check your bank account... and keep it real ;-) Find the balance between what you value in yourself versus what others could contribute to your sense of empowerment.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\nOn <b>Tuesday at 4:12am EDT</b>, <i>Chiron moves from <strong>Pisces</strong> into <strong>Aries</strong>, </i>where it will journey <b>until September 25th</b> -- you can regard this as a preview of coming attractions, since Chiron will move into Aries in 2019... and then stay in that sign for 8 years!\r\n\r\nWhat is the significance of Chiron? It\'s considered the bridge between the limitations of the physical and the unlimited nature of the non-physical (or spiritual) world. Often referred to as the \"Wounded Healer\", it reminds us of our humanity -- and guides us to see it as a gift.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWhen we take responsibility for our human limitations and move past seeing them as \"wrong\" or \"bad\", our inner gifts and uniqueness can emerge more completely and powerfully.\r\n\r\nLet\'s look now at <b>Chiron </b>in<b> Aries:</b><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>The day after Chiron moves into Aries, the Sun conjuncts Uranus in that same sign. This points to the possibility that Chiron\'s journey through Aries will place a strong emphasis on liberation of the self.\r\n\r\nChiron in <strong>Aries</strong> is all about the wounded warrior, the Healer-Hero that emerges from a Warrior\'s healing journey. The healing path consists of seeing, acknowledging, embracing, and finally loving ourselves just as we are: physically, emotionally<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>and spiritually -- especially when it comes to our personal goals, leadership and inspirational abilities, our ability to take action, our \"masculine\" drive.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nBroadly speaking, then: our capacity to go after what we desire...\r\n\r\nWe get to see that we all have the ability to heal, and be healed, through our actions. Each of us can step into our inner healer in our own unique way.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nYou can ask yourself: What is the next step on the path of healing for my inner child, my inner wounding? How were my ancestors wounded around \"the masculine\"? What step can I personally take on that healing path?\r\n\r\nChiron in <strong>Aries</strong> also has us look at some of the following: How we express our anger (or how we do not express it), how we might further heal our relationship to our body (this includes sexuality, gender, etc.) and our personal desires; how we do or do not take initiative, display courage, and practice self-determination.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAsk: What would a healthy sense of identity, independence, and willpower enable me to do? Might accepting my limitations lead to unique ways to move with those energies? What makes me an individual? What are my unique desires and goals?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nThere is also an emphasis on injuries (especially head injuries), physical flaws, issues around anger and assertion of our anger, impatience, being ok with who we are. All of these issues could feel sensitive and fire off our \"triggers\" or bring up shame.\r\n\r\nOne thing is for sure: Chiron in Aries will show us a new perspective and will open new doors of healing for us -- likely a physically active Healing Journey. To the extent that this transit highlights our leadership abilities, the journey is toward becoming a different kind of leader, a non-traditional one.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nThis question lies at the heart of that journey: How do we channel our masculine energy?\r\n\r\nThis is a very important question, if we are to become a conscious, holistic warrior. Picture the film actors Bruce Lee, Jet Li, or Michelle Yeah -- they are consciously connecting the active physical with the emotional and spiritual -- through martial arts in their case -- you might also picture a great practitioner of Yoga -- we\'re talking here about a conscious, holistic relationship to physical dynamics.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWhat do we see in great practitioners of these arts?\r\n\r\nAmong other things, they seem to understand that impatience is wanting to move faster than what is required in the now moment.\r\n\r\nThey take responsibility for their triggers around reactivity, impatience, aggression, inconsiderate leadership, etc. and have an understanding for where it comes from (ancestors history, childhood) and what the impact is on others.\r\n\r\nThey look for unique ways to express themselves and channel those energies in a healthy way, sometimes in a new, non-traditional way. They ask \"What might be the alternatives here?\"\r\n\r\nThey are compassionate with themselves and others when it comes to expressing masculine energies.\r\n\r\nLike them, this journey of Chiron through <strong>Aries</strong> is not about aggression, but rather assertiveness. For all of us, whatever our starting point, it is also about acknowledging and embracing limitations around anger. We also need an open, compassionate awareness as to whether we are responding or \"reacting\" to our circumstances.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs we develop understanding for our inner \"wounded\" child and our \"human\" limitations (in parallel with the above) we build a space for compassion. In fact, I recommend you celebrate your limitations. Why? Because that means you are compassionately aware of them -- and awareness is always the first step towards healing.\r\n\r\nWalking these paths can continually recreate us as leaders with an holistic approach and a healing, compassionate presence.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWere you born between April 1968 and May 1976? Or Oct. 1976 - March 1977? If the answer is yes, you have Chiron in Aries in your a natal chart and will have a Chiron Return within the next 8-9years.\r\n\r\nIn the next Forum, we\'ll be talking about Chiron moving into <strong>Aries</strong> and Uranus moving into <strong>Taurus</strong> -- major shifts! And here\'s our <b>Special Offer again: </b>if you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for the next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get that Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar recording mentioned above for FREE ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 0-3 degrees</i><b><i> </i></b><i>of</i><b><i><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> Aries, Libra, </span>Capricorn, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

We experience new depths of intimacy (with an existing or new partner), we learn to appreciate the important people in our lives, and our value system transforms and evolves.\r\n\r\nThis is likely an excellent period for finances as well. Work we\'ve done might pay off, and we are able to manage our finances better, with more attention to sustainability, planning, and strategy -- as well as the elimination of anything that no longer serves us. We might renew a commitment, or bring new, deeper and more intimate energy into a relationship under the influence of this aspect.\r\n\r\nOur sexual lives might get a real boost now, as we tend to want to connect on a deeper level. We might find ourselves strongly attracted to someone, almost to the point of obsession. If this aspect connects with any of your personal planets, you might just meet the \"love of your life\". <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nOne thing is for sure -- relationships experienced now are bound to be unforgettable. While this transit tends to signal new or strengthened relationships, any relationship that ends during this cycle may leave us feeling liberated. What are you feeling drawn to on a deep instinctual level? What deep desires are surfacing? What values can you no longer compromise on?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees </i><i>of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> will be most blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Venus being the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday until 6pm EDT,</strong> if you haven\'t set your <em>Intentions</em> yet, this is your last chance to do so during the most potent time! If possible, align them with the New Moon energies that I spoke about in my last video — feel free to watch it again if you are not sure anymore — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here to watch my video on the New Moon</a>: https://youtu.be/J1ILKRA2_pI<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>;-)\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:05pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for 14 hours, <strong>until 8:02am EDT (Wednesday morning).</strong> Use this intuitive time to<span style=\"color: #993300;\"> </span>take care of anything that has value for you on a physical level.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late morning</strong>, <em>a Sun/Uranus alignment in 28.5 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> becomes exact at 10:00am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday night (April 14th) on; it will remain strong until this Saturday evening. </strong>This alignment brings confidence and a desire to connect with others through a common cause. We may have sudden insights into our friendships -- and how they connect us to a bigger vision. We know that if we want to move to the next level, we need to strategize with others.\r\n\r\nWe are also asked to connect to the unusual. Our creative core is awakened: We feel compelled to express ourselves in unique (or at least unconventional) ways. Our consciousness expands, we are receptive to new ways of thinking, doing, and living; this increased openness to all that is new and different may bring unexpected opportunities.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned in the <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">New Moon video</a> (https://youtu.be/J1ILKRA2_pI) I posted earlier last week, Uranus symbolizes the desire for freedom, equality, and progress. Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>, aligned with the Sun, asks us to break away from whatever keeps us from stepping up our game. Shifts are happening everywhere. It\'s time to develop some courage and awareness: Where do you want to step up? If you made a big leap, where might you land?\r\n\r\nOne thing to remember: Keeping the heart and mind open could make a big difference to the experience of this alignment.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 25-2 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Cancer, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>?

Pluto\'s energy will continue to move more slowly until May 5th.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs I already mentioned on Monday, when an outer planet stops, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us -- and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\r\n\r\nDuring the retrograde phase, we will have a chance to connect to anything associated with Pluto from within. Pluto is associated with our soul purpose, as well as the process of empowerment -- our ability to feel empowered from within -- and with our deepest passions. This forced us to see what really motivates us.\r\n\r\n<strong>For the next 5 months,</strong> we need to tap into inner authenticity, embracing the entirety of ourselves — the good, the bad, and the ugly. Paradoxically, this will help us let go of any habits, behaviors or fears that are holding us back from feeling fully empowered from within.\r\n\r\nWe are invited to tap into our passion, strength and Soul\'s purpose from the inside out. This deeper connection will support us in our journey towards authenticity. We can then build long-term goals that are aligned with our Soul\'s purpose. Ask yourself: What do I \"just know\", deep down?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-23 degrees of</i> <b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><i>? If so,<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>you will feel this station/retrograde more strongly.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b> <i>(Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i> <i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 1:09pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into fun-loving (and attention-loving) </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Tuesday late afternoon.</strong><b> </b>We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nIf there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\nThis Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Saturday late evening).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early evening, at 5:46pm EDT</strong>, <i>the first Quarter Moon in almost 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo </i></b>becomes exact. <b>We started to feel this aspect from the moment the Moon entered Leo <strong> earlier today at 1:09pm EDT</strong>. </b>The Moon in fun and attention-loving <b>Leo </b>makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in steady,<i> </i>peaceful <b>Taurus</b><b>.</b>\r\n\r\nWe feel compelled to take action. The New Moon took place a week ago (April 15th); \"seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making their first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day interactions with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 0-5 degrees of</i><b><i> Leo, Taurus, Aquarius</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>?

In the same spirit, we might also have a tendency to live beyond our means.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs you can see, we need to watch out for feeling overly-optimistic or -enthusiastic. Moderation is the keyword, with regard to both finances and our affections: Check your bank account... and keep it real ;-) Find the balance between what you value in yourself versus what others could contribute to your sense of empowerment.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\nOn <b>Tuesday at 4:12am EDT</b>, <i>Chiron moves from <strong>Pisces</strong> into <strong>Aries</strong>, </i>where it will journey <b>until September 25th</b> -- you can regard this as a preview of coming attractions, since Chiron will move into Aries in 2019... and then stay in that sign for 8 years!\r\n\r\nWhat is the significance of Chiron? It\'s considered the bridge between the limitations of the physical and the unlimited nature of the non-physical (or spiritual) world. Often referred to as the \"Wounded Healer\", it reminds us of our humanity -- and guides us to see it as a gift.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWhen we take responsibility for our human limitations and move past seeing them as \"wrong\" or \"bad\", our inner gifts and uniqueness can emerge more completely and powerfully.\r\n\r\nLet\'s look now at <b>Chiron </b>in<b> Aries:</b><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>The day after Chiron moves into Aries, the Sun conjuncts Uranus in that same sign. This points to the possibility that Chiron\'s journey through Aries will place a strong emphasis on liberation of the self.\r\n\r\nChiron in <strong>Aries</strong> is all about the wounded warrior, the Healer-Hero that emerges from a Warrior\'s healing journey. The healing path consists of seeing, acknowledging, embracing, and finally loving ourselves just as we are: physically, emotionally<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>and spiritually -- especially when it comes to our personal goals, leadership and inspirational abilities, our ability to take action, our \"masculine\" drive.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nBroadly speaking, then: our capacity to go after what we desire...\r\n\r\nWe get to see that we all have the ability to heal, and be healed, through our actions. Each of us can step into our inner healer in our own unique way.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nYou can ask yourself: What is the next step on the path of healing for my inner child, my inner wounding? How were my ancestors wounded around \"the masculine\"? What step can I personally take on that healing path?\r\n\r\nChiron in <strong>Aries</strong> also has us look at some of the following: How we express our anger (or how we do not express it), how we might further heal our relationship to our body (this includes sexuality, gender, etc.) and our personal desires; how we do or do not take initiative, display courage, and practice self-determination.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAsk: What would a healthy sense of identity, independence, and willpower enable me to do? Might accepting my limitations lead to unique ways to move with those energies? What makes me an individual? What are my unique desires and goals?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nThere is also an emphasis on injuries (especially head injuries), physical flaws, issues around anger and assertion of our anger, impatience, being ok with who we are. All of these issues could feel sensitive and fire off our \"triggers\" or bring up shame.\r\n\r\nOne thing is for sure: Chiron in Aries will show us a new perspective and will open new doors of healing for us -- likely a physically active Healing Journey. To the extent that this transit highlights our leadership abilities, the journey is toward becoming a different kind of leader, a non-traditional one.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nThis question lies at the heart of that journey: How do we channel our masculine energy?\r\n\r\nThis is a very important question, if we are to become a conscious, holistic warrior. Picture the film actors Bruce Lee, Jet Li, or Michelle Yeah -- they are consciously connecting the active physical with the emotional and spiritual -- through martial arts in their case -- you might also picture a great practitioner of Yoga -- we\'re talking here about a conscious, holistic relationship to physical dynamics.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWhat do we see in great practitioners of these arts?\r\n\r\nAmong other things, they seem to understand that impatience is wanting to move faster than what is required in the now moment.\r\n\r\nThey take responsibility for their triggers around reactivity, impatience, aggression, inconsiderate leadership, etc. and have an understanding for where it comes from (ancestors history, childhood) and what the impact is on others.\r\n\r\nThey look for unique ways to express themselves and channel those energies in a healthy way, sometimes in a new, non-traditional way. They ask \"What might be the alternatives here?\"\r\n\r\nThey are compassionate with themselves and others when it comes to expressing masculine energies.\r\n\r\nLike them, this journey of Chiron through <strong>Aries</strong> is not about aggression, but rather assertiveness. For all of us, whatever our starting point, it is also about acknowledging and embracing limitations around anger. We also need an open, compassionate awareness as to whether we are responding or \"reacting\" to our circumstances.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs we develop understanding for our inner \"wounded\" child and our \"human\" limitations (in parallel with the above) we build a space for compassion. In fact, I recommend you celebrate your limitations. Why? Because that means you are compassionately aware of them -- and awareness is always the first step towards healing.\r\n\r\nWalking these paths can continually recreate us as leaders with an holistic approach and a healing, compassionate presence.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWere you born between April 1968 and May 1976? Or Oct. 1976 - March 1977? If the answer is yes, you have Chiron in Aries in your a natal chart and will have a Chiron Return within the next 8-9years.\r\n\r\nIn the next Forum, we\'ll be talking about Chiron moving into <strong>Aries</strong> and Uranus moving into <strong>Taurus</strong> -- major shifts! And here\'s our <b>Special Offer again: </b>if you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for the next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get that Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar recording mentioned above for FREE ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 0-3 degrees</i><b><i> </i></b><i>of</i><b><i><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> Aries, Libra, </span>Capricorn, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

We experience new depths of intimacy (with an existing or new partner), we learn to appreciate the important people in our lives, and our value system transforms and evolves.\r\n\r\nThis is likely an excellent period for finances as well. Work we\'ve done might pay off, and we are able to manage our finances better, with more attention to sustainability, planning, and strategy -- as well as the elimination of anything that no longer serves us. We might renew a commitment, or bring new, deeper and more intimate energy into a relationship under the influence of this aspect.\r\n\r\nOur sexual lives might get a real boost now, as we tend to want to connect on a deeper level. We might find ourselves strongly attracted to someone, almost to the point of obsession. If this aspect connects with any of your personal planets, you might just meet the \"love of your life\". <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nOne thing is for sure -- relationships experienced now are bound to be unforgettable. While this transit tends to signal new or strengthened relationships, any relationship that ends during this cycle may leave us feeling liberated. What are you feeling drawn to on a deep instinctual level? What deep desires are surfacing? What values can you no longer compromise on?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees </i><i>of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> will be most blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Venus being the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday until 6pm EDT,</strong> if you haven\'t set your <em>Intentions</em> yet, this is your last chance to do so during the most potent time! If possible, align them with the New Moon energies that I spoke about in my last video — feel free to watch it again if you are not sure anymore — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here to watch my video on the New Moon</a>: https://youtu.be/J1ILKRA2_pI<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>;-)\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:05pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for 14 hours, <strong>until 8:02am EDT (Wednesday morning).</strong> Use this intuitive time to<span style=\"color: #993300;\"> </span>take care of anything that has value for you on a physical level.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

You will get a chance to do just that for the next 4.5 months.\r\n\r\nFeel free to watch our mp4 video presentation on this month\'s Saturn and Pluto Station and Retrograde phases in relation to our own Birth charts...To purchase this webinar, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">click here.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span></a>\r\n\r\n<b>Remember the Special Offer: </b>If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE -- two for one ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>If you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-10 degrees of</i><b><i> </i></b><b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Aries</i></b><b><i> </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Libra,</i></b><i> you will be more affected by this station and retrograde-phase. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (Saturn being the ruler of Capricorn).</i> <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (April 18th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">steady, peaceful  </span><strong>Taurus</strong></em><strong> </strong>and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><strong> until 8:02am EDT</strong> (see Monday early morning and Tuesday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 8:02am EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <strong>until Friday late morning</strong>. For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way... The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late morning</strong>, <em>a Sun/Uranus alignment in 28.5 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> becomes exact at 10:00am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday night (April 14th) on; it will remain strong until this Saturday evening. </strong>This alignment brings confidence and a desire to connect with others through a common cause. We may have sudden insights into our friendships -- and how they connect us to a bigger vision. We know that if we want to move to the next level, we need to strategize with others.\r\n\r\nWe are also asked to connect to the unusual. Our creative core is awakened: We feel compelled to express ourselves in unique (or at least unconventional) ways. Our consciousness expands, we are receptive to new ways of thinking, doing, and living; this increased openness to all that is new and different may bring unexpected opportunities.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned in the <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">New Moon video</a> (https://youtu.be/J1ILKRA2_pI) I posted earlier last week, Uranus symbolizes the desire for freedom, equality, and progress. Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>, aligned with the Sun, asks us to break away from whatever keeps us from stepping up our game. Shifts are happening everywhere. It\'s time to develop some courage and awareness: Where do you want to step up? If you made a big leap, where might you land?\r\n\r\nOne thing to remember: Keeping the heart and mind open could make a big difference to the experience of this alignment.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 25-2 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Cancer, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius) </i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (April 19th)</strong>: <i>the</i> <i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><strong> all day</strong> (see Wednesday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 11:13pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Sun changes signs from adventurous, speedy </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> to peaceful, steady </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until May 20th</strong><b>. </b>For the next four weeks, our attention is on physical pleasures, and we are more aware of our need for comfort and consistency. The Sun in Taurus reminds us to slow down and smell the roses.\r\n\r\nWe are able to be very consistent and methodical, which helps us bring groundedness and reality to our new goals. We focus on what is most important to us. What do you value most? How do you feel about yourself and what you bring to the table?\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Taurus, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo, your vitality will most likely slow down and you might indulge in physical or material pleasures.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (April 20th)</strong>: <i>the</i> <i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><strong> until 10:26am EDT</strong> (see Wednesday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 8:05am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 2.5 hours, <strong>until 10:26am EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday morning ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon sextiles Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 10:26am EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Sunday early afternoon</strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday around 11:16am EDT: i</strong>f you set <i>intentions</i> last Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday, right after the New Moon became exact, <strong>today</strong> will be a <i>great time to take relevant actions</i>. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to you?\r\n\r\nAlso <strong>on Friday</strong>, <i>Mercury resumes its normal pace through the sky <strong>today</strong>, ending its station:</i> Communication and transportation are now back to “normal”, as are any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc. New ideas and information received during the Mercury retrograde phase can now be reviewed -- What could you do with that now?\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (April 21st)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>protective, nurturing </i><strong>Cancer</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Friday late morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday early afternoon, </strong>we are in a state of “flow” and emotional connection to others; spiritual and creative endeavors are favored. <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><i>Moon in </i><b><i>Cancer </i></b><i>trines Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> <em>at 12:44pm EDT -- post at 11am EDT</em></i></span>\r\n\r\n<em><strong>Saturday early evening:</strong></em> our instincts and need for safety are strongly engaged.

You may also want to plan Sunday late morning and early afternoon ahead of time :-) <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon squares Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 11:26am EDT</strong>, <i>Pluto comes to a halt in 21 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, starting its 5-month retrograde phase</i> (until Sept. 30th). Pluto\'s energy will continue to move more slowly until May 5th.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs I already mentioned on Monday, when an outer planet stops, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us -- and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\r\n\r\nDuring the retrograde phase, we will have a chance to connect to anything associated with Pluto from within. Pluto is associated with our soul purpose, as well as the process of empowerment -- our ability to feel empowered from within -- and with our deepest passions. This forced us to see what really motivates us.\r\n\r\n<strong>For the next 5 months,</strong> we need to tap into inner authenticity, embracing the entirety of ourselves — the good, the bad, and the ugly. Paradoxically, this will help us let go of any habits, behaviors or fears that are holding us back from feeling fully empowered from within.\r\n\r\nWe are invited to tap into our passion, strength and Soul\'s purpose from the inside out. This deeper connection will support us in our journey towards authenticity. We can then build long-term goals that are aligned with our Soul\'s purpose. Ask yourself: What do I \"just know\", deep down?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-23 degrees of</i> <b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><i>? If so,<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>you will feel this station/retrograde more strongly.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b> <i>(Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i> <i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 1:09pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into fun-loving (and attention-loving) </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Tuesday late afternoon.</strong><b> </b>We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nIf there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\nThis Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Saturday late evening).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early evening, at 5:46pm EDT</strong>, <i>the first Quarter Moon in almost 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo </i></b>becomes exact. <b>We started to feel this aspect from the moment the Moon entered Leo <strong> earlier today at 1:09pm EDT</strong>. </b>The Moon in fun and attention-loving <b>Leo </b>makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in steady,<i> </i>peaceful <b>Taurus</b><b>.</b>\r\n\r\nWe feel compelled to take action. The New Moon took place a week ago (April 15th); \"seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making their first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day interactions with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 0-5 degrees of</i><b><i> Leo, Taurus, Aquarius</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>?

In the same spirit, we might also have a tendency to live beyond our means.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs you can see, we need to watch out for feeling overly-optimistic or -enthusiastic. Moderation is the keyword, with regard to both finances and our affections: Check your bank account... and keep it real ;-) Find the balance between what you value in yourself versus what others could contribute to your sense of empowerment.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\nOn <b>Tuesday at 4:12am EDT</b>, <i>Chiron moves from <strong>Pisces</strong> into <strong>Aries</strong>, </i>where it will journey <b>until September 25th</b> -- you can regard this as a preview of coming attractions, since Chiron will move into Aries in 2019... and then stay in that sign for 8 years!\r\n\r\nWhat is the significance of Chiron? It\'s considered the bridge between the limitations of the physical and the unlimited nature of the non-physical (or spiritual) world. Often referred to as the \"Wounded Healer\", it reminds us of our humanity -- and guides us to see it as a gift.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWhen we take responsibility for our human limitations and move past seeing them as \"wrong\" or \"bad\", our inner gifts and uniqueness can emerge more completely and powerfully.\r\n\r\nLet\'s look now at <b>Chiron </b>in<b> Aries:</b><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>The day after Chiron moves into Aries, the Sun conjuncts Uranus in that same sign. This points to the possibility that Chiron\'s journey through Aries will place a strong emphasis on liberation of the self.\r\n\r\nChiron in <strong>Aries</strong> is all about the wounded warrior, the Healer-Hero that emerges from a Warrior\'s healing journey. The healing path consists of seeing, acknowledging, embracing, and finally loving ourselves just as we are: physically, emotionally<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>and spiritually -- especially when it comes to our personal goals, leadership and inspirational abilities, our ability to take action, our \"masculine\" drive.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nBroadly speaking, then: our capacity to go after what we desire...\r\n\r\nWe get to see that we all have the ability to heal, and be healed, through our actions. Each of us can step into our inner healer in our own unique way.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nYou can ask yourself: What is the next step on the path of healing for my inner child, my inner wounding? How were my ancestors wounded around \"the masculine\"? What step can I personally take on that healing path?\r\n\r\nChiron in <strong>Aries</strong> also has us look at some of the following: How we express our anger (or how we do not express it), how we might further heal our relationship to our body (this includes sexuality, gender, etc.) and our personal desires; how we do or do not take initiative, display courage, and practice self-determination.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAsk: What would a healthy sense of identity, independence, and willpower enable me to do? Might accepting my limitations lead to unique ways to move with those energies? What makes me an individual? What are my unique desires and goals?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nThere is also an emphasis on injuries (especially head injuries), physical flaws, issues around anger and assertion of our anger, impatience, being ok with who we are. All of these issues could feel sensitive and fire off our \"triggers\" or bring up shame.\r\n\r\nOne thing is for sure: Chiron in Aries will show us a new perspective and will open new doors of healing for us -- likely a physically active Healing Journey. To the extent that this transit highlights our leadership abilities, the journey is toward becoming a different kind of leader, a non-traditional one.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nThis question lies at the heart of that journey: How do we channel our masculine energy?\r\n\r\nThis is a very important question, if we are to become a conscious, holistic warrior. Picture the film actors Bruce Lee, Jet Li, or Michelle Yeah -- they are consciously connecting the active physical with the emotional and spiritual -- through martial arts in their case -- you might also picture a great practitioner of Yoga -- we\'re talking here about a conscious, holistic relationship to physical dynamics.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWhat do we see in great practitioners of these arts?\r\n\r\nAmong other things, they seem to understand that impatience is wanting to move faster than what is required in the now moment.\r\n\r\nThey take responsibility for their triggers around reactivity, impatience, aggression, inconsiderate leadership, etc. and have an understanding for where it comes from (ancestors history, childhood) and what the impact is on others.\r\n\r\nThey look for unique ways to express themselves and channel those energies in a healthy way, sometimes in a new, non-traditional way. They ask \"What might be the alternatives here?\"\r\n\r\nThey are compassionate with themselves and others when it comes to expressing masculine energies.\r\n\r\nLike them, this journey of Chiron through <strong>Aries</strong> is not about aggression, but rather assertiveness. For all of us, whatever our starting point, it is also about acknowledging and embracing limitations around anger. We also need an open, compassionate awareness as to whether we are responding or \"reacting\" to our circumstances.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs we develop understanding for our inner \"wounded\" child and our \"human\" limitations (in parallel with the above) we build a space for compassion. In fact, I recommend you celebrate your limitations. Why? Because that means you are compassionately aware of them -- and awareness is always the first step towards healing.\r\n\r\nWalking these paths can continually recreate us as leaders with an holistic approach and a healing, compassionate presence.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWere you born between April 1968 and May 1976? Or Oct. 1976 - March 1977? If the answer is yes, you have Chiron in Aries in your a natal chart and will have a Chiron Return within the next 8-9years.\r\n\r\nIn the next Forum, we\'ll be talking about Chiron moving into <strong>Aries</strong> and Uranus moving into <strong>Taurus</strong> -- major shifts! And here\'s our <b>Special Offer again: </b>if you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for the next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get that Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar recording mentioned above for FREE ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 0-3 degrees</i><b><i> </i></b><i>of</i><b><i><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> Aries, Libra, </span>Capricorn, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

We experience new depths of intimacy (with an existing or new partner), we learn to appreciate the important people in our lives, and our value system transforms and evolves.\r\n\r\nThis is likely an excellent period for finances as well. Work we\'ve done might pay off, and we are able to manage our finances better, with more attention to sustainability, planning, and strategy -- as well as the elimination of anything that no longer serves us. We might renew a commitment, or bring new, deeper and more intimate energy into a relationship under the influence of this aspect.\r\n\r\nOur sexual lives might get a real boost now, as we tend to want to connect on a deeper level. We might find ourselves strongly attracted to someone, almost to the point of obsession. If this aspect connects with any of your personal planets, you might just meet the \"love of your life\". <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nOne thing is for sure -- relationships experienced now are bound to be unforgettable. While this transit tends to signal new or strengthened relationships, any relationship that ends during this cycle may leave us feeling liberated. What are you feeling drawn to on a deep instinctual level? What deep desires are surfacing? What values can you no longer compromise on?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees </i><i>of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> will be most blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Venus being the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday until 6pm EDT,</strong> if you haven\'t set your <em>Intentions</em> yet, this is your last chance to do so during the most potent time! If possible, align them with the New Moon energies that I spoke about in my last video — feel free to watch it again if you are not sure anymore — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here to watch my video on the New Moon</a>: https://youtu.be/J1ILKRA2_pI<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>;-)\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:05pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for 14 hours, <strong>until 8:02am EDT (Wednesday morning).</strong> Use this intuitive time to<span style=\"color: #993300;\"> </span>take care of anything that has value for you on a physical level.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

Take a deep breath whenever you can, as often as you can (especially Monday through Wednesday night of this week).\r\n\r\nSaturn represents our structures, responsibilities, commitments -- and our ability to \"do\" life on life\'s terms. When this planet comes to a halt and turns retrograde, we get to see where we need to create or renew our commitments.

The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late morning</strong>, <em>a Sun/Uranus alignment in 28.5 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> becomes exact at 10:00am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday night (April 14th) on; it will remain strong until this Saturday evening. </strong>This alignment brings confidence and a desire to connect with others through a common cause. We may have sudden insights into our friendships -- and how they connect us to a bigger vision. We know that if we want to move to the next level, we need to strategize with others.\r\n\r\nWe are also asked to connect to the unusual. Our creative core is awakened: We feel compelled to express ourselves in unique (or at least unconventional) ways. Our consciousness expands, we are receptive to new ways of thinking, doing, and living; this increased openness to all that is new and different may bring unexpected opportunities.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned in the <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">New Moon video</a> (https://youtu.be/J1ILKRA2_pI) I posted earlier last week, Uranus symbolizes the desire for freedom, equality, and progress. Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>, aligned with the Sun, asks us to break away from whatever keeps us from stepping up our game. Shifts are happening everywhere. It\'s time to develop some courage and awareness: Where do you want to step up? If you made a big leap, where might you land?\r\n\r\nOne thing to remember: Keeping the heart and mind open could make a big difference to the experience of this alignment.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 25-2 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Cancer, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>?

The Sun in Taurus reminds us to slow down and smell the roses.\r\n\r\nWe are able to be very consistent and methodical, which helps us bring groundedness and reality to our new goals. We focus on what is most important to us. What do you value most? How do you feel about yourself and what you bring to the table?\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign.

Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday around 11:16am EDT: i</strong>f you set <i>intentions</i> last Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday, right after the New Moon became exact, <strong>today</strong> will be a <i>great time to take relevant actions</i>.

Pluto\'s energy will continue to move more slowly until May 5th.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs I already mentioned on Monday, when an outer planet stops, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us -- and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\r\n\r\nDuring the retrograde phase, we will have a chance to connect to anything associated with Pluto from within. Pluto is associated with our soul purpose, as well as the process of empowerment -- our ability to feel empowered from within -- and with our deepest passions. This forced us to see what really motivates us.\r\n\r\n<strong>For the next 5 months,</strong> we need to tap into inner authenticity, embracing the entirety of ourselves — the good, the bad, and the ugly. Paradoxically, this will help us let go of any habits, behaviors or fears that are holding us back from feeling fully empowered from within.\r\n\r\nWe are invited to tap into our passion, strength and Soul\'s purpose from the inside out. This deeper connection will support us in our journey towards authenticity. We can then build long-term goals that are aligned with our Soul\'s purpose. Ask yourself: What do I \"just know\", deep down?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-23 degrees of</i> <b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><i>? If so,<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>you will feel this station/retrograde more strongly.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b> <i>(Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i> <i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 1:09pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into fun-loving (and attention-loving) </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Tuesday late afternoon.</strong><b> </b>We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nIf there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\nThis Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Saturday late evening).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early evening, at 5:46pm EDT</strong>, <i>the first Quarter Moon in almost 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo </i></b>becomes exact. <b>We started to feel this aspect from the moment the Moon entered Leo <strong> earlier today at 1:09pm EDT</strong>. </b>The Moon in fun and attention-loving <b>Leo </b>makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in steady,<i> </i>peaceful <b>Taurus</b><b>.</b>\r\n\r\nWe feel compelled to take action. The New Moon took place a week ago (April 15th); \"seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making their first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day interactions with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 0-5 degrees of</i><b><i> Leo, Taurus, Aquarius</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>?

In the same spirit, we might also have a tendency to live beyond our means.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs you can see, we need to watch out for feeling overly-optimistic or -enthusiastic. Moderation is the keyword, with regard to both finances and our affections: Check your bank account... and keep it real ;-) Find the balance between what you value in yourself versus what others could contribute to your sense of empowerment.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\nOn <b>Tuesday at 4:12am EDT</b>, <i>Chiron moves from <strong>Pisces</strong> into <strong>Aries</strong>, </i>where it will journey <b>until September 25th</b> -- you can regard this as a preview of coming attractions, since Chiron will move into Aries in 2019... and then stay in that sign for 8 years!\r\n\r\nWhat is the significance of Chiron? It\'s considered the bridge between the limitations of the physical and the unlimited nature of the non-physical (or spiritual) world. Often referred to as the \"Wounded Healer\", it reminds us of our humanity -- and guides us to see it as a gift.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWhen we take responsibility for our human limitations and move past seeing them as \"wrong\" or \"bad\", our inner gifts and uniqueness can emerge more completely and powerfully.\r\n\r\nLet\'s look now at <b>Chiron </b>in<b> Aries:</b><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>The day after Chiron moves into Aries, the Sun conjuncts Uranus in that same sign. This points to the possibility that Chiron\'s journey through Aries will place a strong emphasis on liberation of the self.\r\n\r\nChiron in <strong>Aries</strong> is all about the wounded warrior, the Healer-Hero that emerges from a Warrior\'s healing journey. The healing path consists of seeing, acknowledging, embracing, and finally loving ourselves just as we are: physically, emotionally<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>and spiritually -- especially when it comes to our personal goals, leadership and inspirational abilities, our ability to take action, our \"masculine\" drive.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nBroadly speaking, then: our capacity to go after what we desire...\r\n\r\nWe get to see that we all have the ability to heal, and be healed, through our actions. Each of us can step into our inner healer in our own unique way.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nYou can ask yourself: What is the next step on the path of healing for my inner child, my inner wounding? How were my ancestors wounded around \"the masculine\"? What step can I personally take on that healing path?\r\n\r\nChiron in <strong>Aries</strong> also has us look at some of the following: How we express our anger (or how we do not express it), how we might further heal our relationship to our body (this includes sexuality, gender, etc.) and our personal desires; how we do or do not take initiative, display courage, and practice self-determination.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAsk: What would a healthy sense of identity, independence, and willpower enable me to do? Might accepting my limitations lead to unique ways to move with those energies? What makes me an individual? What are my unique desires and goals?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nThere is also an emphasis on injuries (especially head injuries), physical flaws, issues around anger and assertion of our anger, impatience, being ok with who we are. All of these issues could feel sensitive and fire off our \"triggers\" or bring up shame.\r\n\r\nOne thing is for sure: Chiron in Aries will show us a new perspective and will open new doors of healing for us -- likely a physically active Healing Journey. To the extent that this transit highlights our leadership abilities, the journey is toward becoming a different kind of leader, a non-traditional one.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nThis question lies at the heart of that journey: How do we channel our masculine energy?\r\n\r\nThis is a very important question, if we are to become a conscious, holistic warrior. Picture the film actors Bruce Lee, Jet Li, or Michelle Yeah -- they are consciously connecting the active physical with the emotional and spiritual -- through martial arts in their case -- you might also picture a great practitioner of Yoga -- we\'re talking here about a conscious, holistic relationship to physical dynamics.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWhat do we see in great practitioners of these arts?\r\n\r\nAmong other things, they seem to understand that impatience is wanting to move faster than what is required in the now moment.\r\n\r\nThey take responsibility for their triggers around reactivity, impatience, aggression, inconsiderate leadership, etc. and have an understanding for where it comes from (ancestors history, childhood) and what the impact is on others.\r\n\r\nThey look for unique ways to express themselves and channel those energies in a healthy way, sometimes in a new, non-traditional way. They ask \"What might be the alternatives here?\"\r\n\r\nThey are compassionate with themselves and others when it comes to expressing masculine energies.\r\n\r\nLike them, this journey of Chiron through <strong>Aries</strong> is not about aggression, but rather assertiveness. For all of us, whatever our starting point, it is also about acknowledging and embracing limitations around anger. We also need an open, compassionate awareness as to whether we are responding or \"reacting\" to our circumstances.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs we develop understanding for our inner \"wounded\" child and our \"human\" limitations (in parallel with the above) we build a space for compassion. In fact, I recommend you celebrate your limitations. Why? Because that means you are compassionately aware of them -- and awareness is always the first step towards healing.\r\n\r\nWalking these paths can continually recreate us as leaders with an holistic approach and a healing, compassionate presence.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWere you born between April 1968 and May 1976? Or Oct. 1976 - March 1977? If the answer is yes, you have Chiron in Aries in your a natal chart and will have a Chiron Return within the next 8-9years.\r\n\r\nIn the next Forum, we\'ll be talking about Chiron moving into <strong>Aries</strong> and Uranus moving into <strong>Taurus</strong> -- major shifts! And here\'s our <b>Special Offer again: </b>if you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for the next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get that Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar recording mentioned above for FREE ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 0-3 degrees</i><b><i> </i></b><i>of</i><b><i><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> Aries, Libra, </span>Capricorn, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

We experience new depths of intimacy (with an existing or new partner), we learn to appreciate the important people in our lives, and our value system transforms and evolves.\r\n\r\nThis is likely an excellent period for finances as well. Work we\'ve done might pay off, and we are able to manage our finances better, with more attention to sustainability, planning, and strategy -- as well as the elimination of anything that no longer serves us. We might renew a commitment, or bring new, deeper and more intimate energy into a relationship under the influence of this aspect.\r\n\r\nOur sexual lives might get a real boost now, as we tend to want to connect on a deeper level. We might find ourselves strongly attracted to someone, almost to the point of obsession. If this aspect connects with any of your personal planets, you might just meet the \"love of your life\". <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nOne thing is for sure -- relationships experienced now are bound to be unforgettable. While this transit tends to signal new or strengthened relationships, any relationship that ends during this cycle may leave us feeling liberated. What are you feeling drawn to on a deep instinctual level? What deep desires are surfacing? What values can you no longer compromise on?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees </i><i>of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> will be most blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Venus being the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday until 6pm EDT,</strong> if you haven\'t set your <em>Intentions</em> yet, this is your last chance to do so during the most potent time! If possible, align them with the New Moon energies that I spoke about in my last video — feel free to watch it again if you are not sure anymore — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here to watch my video on the New Moon</a>: https://youtu.be/J1ILKRA2_pI<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>;-)\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:05pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for 14 hours, <strong>until 8:02am EDT (Wednesday morning).</strong> Use this intuitive time to<span style=\"color: #993300;\"> </span>take care of anything that has value for you on a physical level.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

Take a deep breath whenever you can, as often as you can (especially Monday through Wednesday night of this week).\r\n\r\nSaturn represents our structures, responsibilities, commitments -- and our ability to \"do\" life on life\'s terms. When this planet comes to a halt and turns retrograde, we get to see where we need to create or renew our commitments.

The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late morning</strong>, <em>a Sun/Uranus alignment in 28.5 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> becomes exact at 10:00am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday night (April 14th) on; it will remain strong until this Saturday evening. </strong>This alignment brings confidence and a desire to connect with others through a common cause. We may have sudden insights into our friendships -- and how they connect us to a bigger vision. We know that if we want to move to the next level, we need to strategize with others.\r\n\r\nWe are also asked to connect to the unusual. Our creative core is awakened: We feel compelled to express ourselves in unique (or at least unconventional) ways. Our consciousness expands, we are receptive to new ways of thinking, doing, and living; this increased openness to all that is new and different may bring unexpected opportunities.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned in the <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">New Moon video</a> (https://youtu.be/J1ILKRA2_pI) I posted earlier last week, Uranus symbolizes the desire for freedom, equality, and progress. Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>, aligned with the Sun, asks us to break away from whatever keeps us from stepping up our game. Shifts are happening everywhere. It\'s time to develop some courage and awareness: Where do you want to step up? If you made a big leap, where might you land?\r\n\r\nOne thing to remember: Keeping the heart and mind open could make a big difference to the experience of this alignment.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 25-2 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Cancer, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>?

The Sun in Taurus reminds us to slow down and smell the roses.\r\n\r\nWe are able to be very consistent and methodical, which helps us bring groundedness and reality to our new goals. We focus on what is most important to us. What do you value most? How do you feel about yourself and what you bring to the table?\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign.

Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday around 11:16am EDT: i</strong>f you set <i>intentions</i> last Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday, right after the New Moon became exact, <strong>today</strong> will be a <i>great time to take relevant actions</i>.

Pluto\'s energy will continue to move more slowly until May 5th.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs I already mentioned on Monday, when an outer planet stops, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us -- and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\r\n\r\nDuring the retrograde phase, we will have a chance to connect to anything associated with Pluto from within. Pluto is associated with our soul purpose, as well as the process of empowerment -- our ability to feel empowered from within -- and with our deepest passions. This forced us to see what really motivates us.\r\n\r\n<strong>For the next 5 months,</strong> we need to tap into inner authenticity, embracing the entirety of ourselves — the good, the bad, and the ugly. Paradoxically, this will help us let go of any habits, behaviors or fears that are holding us back from feeling fully empowered from within.\r\n\r\nWe are invited to tap into our passion, strength and Soul\'s purpose from the inside out. This deeper connection will support us in our journey towards authenticity. We can then build long-term goals that are aligned with our Soul\'s purpose. Ask yourself: What do I \"just know\", deep down?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-23 degrees of</i> <b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><i>?

We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nIf there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\nThis Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Saturday late evening).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early evening, at 5:46pm EDT</strong>, <i>the first Quarter Moon in almost 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo </i></b>becomes exact. <b>We started to feel this aspect from the moment the Moon entered Leo <strong> earlier today at 1:09pm EDT</strong>. </b>The Moon in fun and attention-loving <b>Leo </b>makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in steady,<i> </i>peaceful <b>Taurus</b><b>.</b>\r\n\r\nWe feel compelled to take action.

I could also really feel the Station phases and Chiron in that last degree of Pisces! :-)\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: Pluto\'s Station intensifies on Monday, Chiron changes signs from Pisces to Aries on Tuesday early morning, Saturn comes to a halt on Tuesday late evening -- starting its 4.5-month retrograde phase -- while the Sun changes signs from Aries to Taurus on Thursday late evening. Mercury\'s Station phase ends on Friday, which is also the day you can start taking actions on your New Moon Intentions. Finally, Pluto comes to a halt on Sunday, starting its 5-month retrograde phase.\r\n\r\nThere will also be four <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Monday very early morning (for almost 3 hours), Tuesday early evening (for 14 hours), Friday morning (for almost 2.5 hours), and Sunday late morning (for a little over 2 hours).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (April 16th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in </em><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><em>pioneering, fast-paced </em> </span><em><strong>Aries</strong></em><strong> until 4:51am EDT. </strong><strong>At 1:59am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 3 hours, <strong>until 4:51am EDT. </strong>Use this intuitive time to connect with people that can enthusiastically support your projects and share with them what you have going on.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take a closer look at whatever is \"in your face\" <b>for the next 3 weeks.</b> Look for what might no longer be in alignment with your soul\'s purpose (your deep, authentic, emotional Self).\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Where am I holding on, out of fear? What habits, behaviors or fears are holding me back from feeling fully empowered from within? What would it look like, if I was fully aligned with my Soul-purpose? How would it feel? When we confront our fears we very often discover hidden gifts and strengths.\r\n\r\nFeel free to watch our mp4 video presentation on this month\'s Saturn and Pluto Station and Retrograde phases in relationship to our own Birth charts...To purchase this webinar, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">click here. </a>\r\n\r\n<b>Special Offer: </b>If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-) <b>Please note </b>that we will be talking about Chiron moving into Aries and Uranus moving into Taurus, in our next Forum.

In the same spirit, we might also have a tendency to live beyond our means.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs you can see, we need to watch out for feeling overly-optimistic or -enthusiastic. Moderation is the keyword, with regard to both finances and our affections: Check your bank account... and keep it real ;-) Find the balance between what you value in yourself versus what others could contribute to your sense of empowerment.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\nOn <b>Tuesday at 4:12am EDT</b>, <i>Chiron moves from <strong>Pisces</strong> into <strong>Aries</strong>, </i>where it will journey <b>until September 25th</b> -- you can regard this as a preview of coming attractions, since Chiron will move into Aries in 2019... and then stay in that sign for 8 years!\r\n\r\nWhat is the significance of Chiron? It\'s considered the bridge between the limitations of the physical and the unlimited nature of the non-physical (or spiritual) world. Often referred to as the \"Wounded Healer\", it reminds us of our humanity -- and guides us to see it as a gift.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWhen we take responsibility for our human limitations and move past seeing them as \"wrong\" or \"bad\", our inner gifts and uniqueness can emerge more completely and powerfully.\r\n\r\nLet\'s look now at <b>Chiron </b>in<b> Aries:</b><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>The day after Chiron moves into Aries, the Sun conjuncts Uranus in that same sign. This points to the possibility that Chiron\'s journey through Aries will place a strong emphasis on liberation of the self.\r\n\r\nChiron in <strong>Aries</strong> is all about the wounded warrior, the Healer-Hero that emerges from a Warrior\'s healing journey. The healing path consists of seeing, acknowledging, embracing, and finally loving ourselves just as we are: physically, emotionally<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>and spiritually -- especially when it comes to our personal goals, leadership and inspirational abilities, our ability to take action, our \"masculine\" drive.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nBroadly speaking, then: our capacity to go after what we desire...\r\n\r\nWe get to see that we all have the ability to heal, and be healed, through our actions. Each of us can step into our inner healer in our own unique way.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nYou can ask yourself: What is the next step on the path of healing for my inner child, my inner wounding? How were my ancestors wounded around \"the masculine\"? What step can I personally take on that healing path?\r\n\r\nChiron in <strong>Aries</strong> also has us look at some of the following: How we express our anger (or how we do not express it), how we might further heal our relationship to our body (this includes sexuality, gender, etc.) and our personal desires; how we do or do not take initiative, display courage, and practice self-determination.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAsk: What would a healthy sense of identity, independence, and willpower enable me to do? Might accepting my limitations lead to unique ways to move with those energies? What makes me an individual? What are my unique desires and goals?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nThere is also an emphasis on injuries (especially head injuries), physical flaws, issues around anger and assertion of our anger, impatience, being ok with who we are. All of these issues could feel sensitive and fire off our \"triggers\" or bring up shame.\r\n\r\nOne thing is for sure: Chiron in Aries will show us a new perspective and will open new doors of healing for us -- likely a physically active Healing Journey. To the extent that this transit highlights our leadership abilities, the journey is toward becoming a different kind of leader, a non-traditional one.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nThis question lies at the heart of that journey: How do we channel our masculine energy?\r\n\r\nThis is a very important question, if we are to become a conscious, holistic warrior. Picture the film actors Bruce Lee, Jet Li, or Michelle Yeah -- they are consciously connecting the active physical with the emotional and spiritual -- through martial arts in their case -- you might also picture a great practitioner of Yoga -- we\'re talking here about a conscious, holistic relationship to physical dynamics.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWhat do we see in great practitioners of these arts?\r\n\r\nAmong other things, they seem to understand that impatience is wanting to move faster than what is required in the now moment.\r\n\r\nThey take responsibility for their triggers around reactivity, impatience, aggression, inconsiderate leadership, etc. and have an understanding for where it comes from (ancestors history, childhood) and what the impact is on others.\r\n\r\nThey look for unique ways to express themselves and channel those energies in a healthy way, sometimes in a new, non-traditional way. They ask \"What might be the alternatives here?\"\r\n\r\nThey are compassionate with themselves and others when it comes to expressing masculine energies.\r\n\r\nLike them, this journey of Chiron through <strong>Aries</strong> is not about aggression, but rather assertiveness. For all of us, whatever our starting point, it is also about acknowledging and embracing limitations around anger. We also need an open, compassionate awareness as to whether we are responding or \"reacting\" to our circumstances.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs we develop understanding for our inner \"wounded\" child and our \"human\" limitations (in parallel with the above) we build a space for compassion. In fact, I recommend you celebrate your limitations. Why? Because that means you are compassionately aware of them -- and awareness is always the first step towards healing.\r\n\r\nWalking these paths can continually recreate us as leaders with an holistic approach and a healing, compassionate presence.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWere you born between April 1968 and May 1976? Or Oct. 1976 - March 1977? If the answer is yes, you have Chiron in Aries in your a natal chart and will have a Chiron Return within the next 8-9years.\r\n\r\nIn the next Forum, we\'ll be talking about Chiron moving into <strong>Aries</strong> and Uranus moving into <strong>Taurus</strong> -- major shifts! And here\'s our <b>Special Offer again: </b>if you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for the next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get that Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar recording mentioned above for FREE ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 0-3 degrees</i><b><i> </i></b><i>of</i><b><i><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> Aries, Libra, </span>Capricorn, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

We experience new depths of intimacy (with an existing or new partner), we learn to appreciate the important people in our lives, and our value system transforms and evolves.\r\n\r\nThis is likely an excellent period for finances as well. Work we\'ve done might pay off, and we are able to manage our finances better, with more attention to sustainability, planning, and strategy -- as well as the elimination of anything that no longer serves us. We might renew a commitment, or bring new, deeper and more intimate energy into a relationship under the influence of this aspect.\r\n\r\nOur sexual lives might get a real boost now, as we tend to want to connect on a deeper level. We might find ourselves strongly attracted to someone, almost to the point of obsession. If this aspect connects with any of your personal planets, you might just meet the \"love of your life\". <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nOne thing is for sure -- relationships experienced now are bound to be unforgettable. While this transit tends to signal new or strengthened relationships, any relationship that ends during this cycle may leave us feeling liberated. What are you feeling drawn to on a deep instinctual level? What deep desires are surfacing? What values can you no longer compromise on?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees </i><i>of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> will be most blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Venus being the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday until 6pm EDT,</strong> if you haven\'t set your <em>Intentions</em> yet, this is your last chance to do so during the most potent time! If possible, align them with the New Moon energies that I spoke about in my last video — feel free to watch it again if you are not sure anymore — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here to watch my video on the New Moon</a>: https://youtu.be/J1ILKRA2_pI<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>;-)\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:05pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for 14 hours, <strong>until 8:02am EDT (Wednesday morning).</strong> Use this intuitive time to<span style=\"color: #993300;\"> </span>take care of anything that has value for you on a physical level.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late morning</strong>, <em>a Sun/Uranus alignment in 28.5 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> becomes exact at 10:00am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday night (April 14th) on; it will remain strong until this Saturday evening. </strong>This alignment brings confidence and a desire to connect with others through a common cause. We may have sudden insights into our friendships -- and how they connect us to a bigger vision. We know that if we want to move to the next level, we need to strategize with others.\r\n\r\nWe are also asked to connect to the unusual. Our creative core is awakened: We feel compelled to express ourselves in unique (or at least unconventional) ways. Our consciousness expands, we are receptive to new ways of thinking, doing, and living; this increased openness to all that is new and different may bring unexpected opportunities.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned in the <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">New Moon video</a> (https://youtu.be/J1ILKRA2_pI) I posted earlier last week, Uranus symbolizes the desire for freedom, equality, and progress. Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>, aligned with the Sun, asks us to break away from whatever keeps us from stepping up our game. Shifts are happening everywhere. It\'s time to develop some courage and awareness: Where do you want to step up? If you made a big leap, where might you land?\r\n\r\nOne thing to remember: Keeping the heart and mind open could make a big difference to the experience of this alignment.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 25-2 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Cancer, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>?

Pluto\'s energy will continue to move more slowly until May 5th.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs I already mentioned on Monday, when an outer planet stops, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us -- and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\r\n\r\nDuring the retrograde phase, we will have a chance to connect to anything associated with Pluto from within. Pluto is associated with our soul purpose, as well as the process of empowerment -- our ability to feel empowered from within -- and with our deepest passions. This forced us to see what really motivates us.\r\n\r\n<strong>For the next 5 months,</strong> we need to tap into inner authenticity, embracing the entirety of ourselves — the good, the bad, and the ugly. Paradoxically, this will help us let go of any habits, behaviors or fears that are holding us back from feeling fully empowered from within.\r\n\r\nWe are invited to tap into our passion, strength and Soul\'s purpose from the inside out. This deeper connection will support us in our journey towards authenticity. We can then build long-term goals that are aligned with our Soul\'s purpose. Ask yourself: What do I \"just know\", deep down?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-23 degrees of</i> <b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><i>? If so,<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>you will feel this station/retrograde more strongly.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b> <i>(Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i> <i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 1:09pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into fun-loving (and attention-loving) </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Tuesday late afternoon.</strong><b> </b>We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nIf there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\nThis Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Saturday late evening).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early evening, at 5:46pm EDT</strong>, <i>the first Quarter Moon in almost 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo </i></b>becomes exact. <b>We started to feel this aspect from the moment the Moon entered Leo <strong> earlier today at 1:09pm EDT</strong>. </b>The Moon in fun and attention-loving <b>Leo </b>makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in steady,<i> </i>peaceful <b>Taurus</b><b>.</b>\r\n\r\nWe feel compelled to take action. The New Moon took place a week ago (April 15th); \"seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making their first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day interactions with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 0-5 degrees of</i><b><i> Leo, Taurus, Aquarius</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>?

This felt very much in alignment with the Station phases and Chiron in that last degree of Pisces! :-)\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: Pluto\'s Station intensifies on Monday, Chiron changes signs from Pisces to Aries on Tuesday early morning, Saturn comes to a halt on Tuesday late evening -- starting its 4.5-month retrograde phase -- while the Sun changes signs from Aries to Taurus on Thursday late evening.

In the same spirit, we might also have a tendency to live beyond our means.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs you can see, we need to watch out for feeling overly-optimistic or -enthusiastic. Moderation is the keyword, with regard to both finances and our affections: Check your bank account... and keep it real ;-) Find the balance between what you value in yourself versus what others could contribute to your sense of empowerment.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\nOn <b>Tuesday at 4:12am EDT</b>, <i>Chiron moves from <strong>Pisces</strong> into <strong>Aries</strong>, </i>where it will journey <b>until September 25th</b> -- you can regard this as a preview of coming attractions, since Chiron will move into Aries in 2019... and then stay in that sign for 8 years!\r\n\r\nWhat is the significance of Chiron? It\'s considered the bridge between the limitations of the physical and the unlimited nature of the non-physical (or spiritual) world. Often referred to as the \"Wounded Healer\", it reminds us of our humanity -- and guides us to see it as a gift.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWhen we take responsibility for our human limitations and move past seeing them as \"wrong\" or \"bad\", our inner gifts and uniqueness can emerge more completely and powerfully.\r\n\r\nLet\'s look now at <b>Chiron </b>in<b> Aries:</b><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>The day after Chiron moves into Aries, the Sun conjuncts Uranus in that same sign. This points to the possibility that Chiron\'s journey through Aries will place a strong emphasis on liberation of the self.\r\n\r\nChiron in <strong>Aries</strong> is all about the wounded warrior, the Healer-Hero that emerges from a Warrior\'s healing journey. The healing path consists of seeing, acknowledging, embracing, and finally loving ourselves just as we are: physically, emotionally<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>and spiritually -- especially when it comes to our personal goals, leadership and inspirational abilities, our ability to take action, our \"masculine\" drive.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nBroadly speaking, then: our capacity to go after what we desire...\r\n\r\nWe get to see that we all have the ability to heal, and be healed, through our actions. Each of us can step into our inner healer in our own unique way.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nYou can ask yourself: What is the next step on the path of healing for my inner child, my inner wounding? How were my ancestors wounded around \"the masculine\"? What step can I personally take on that healing path?\r\n\r\nChiron in <strong>Aries</strong> also has us look at some of the following: How we express our anger (or how we do not express it), how we might further heal our relationship to our body (this includes sexuality, gender, etc.) and our personal desires; how we do or do not take initiative, display courage, and practice self-determination.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAsk: What would a healthy sense of identity, independence, and willpower enable me to do? Might accepting my limitations lead to unique ways to move with those energies? What makes me an individual? What are my unique desires and goals?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nThere is also an emphasis on injuries (especially head injuries), physical flaws, issues around anger and assertion of our anger, impatience, being ok with who we are. All of these issues could feel sensitive and fire off our \"triggers\" or bring up shame.\r\n\r\nOne thing is for sure: Chiron in Aries will show us a new perspective and will open new doors of healing for us -- likely a physically active Healing Journey. To the extent that this transit highlights our leadership abilities, the journey is toward becoming a different kind of leader, a non-traditional one.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nThis question lies at the heart of that journey: How do we channel our masculine energy?\r\n\r\nThis is a very important question, if we are to become a conscious, holistic warrior. Picture the film actors Bruce Lee, Jet Li, or Michelle Yeah -- they are consciously connecting the active physical with the emotional and spiritual -- through martial arts in their case -- you might also picture a great practitioner of Yoga -- we\'re talking here about a conscious, holistic relationship to physical dynamics.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWhat do we see in great practitioners of these arts?\r\n\r\nAmong other things, they seem to understand that impatience is wanting to move faster than what is required in the now moment.\r\n\r\nThey take responsibility for their triggers around reactivity, impatience, aggression, inconsiderate leadership, etc. and have an understanding for where it comes from (ancestors history, childhood) and what the impact is on others.\r\n\r\nThey look for unique ways to express themselves and channel those energies in a healthy way, sometimes in a new, non-traditional way. They ask \"What might be the alternatives here?\"\r\n\r\nThey are compassionate with themselves and others when it comes to expressing masculine energies.\r\n\r\nLike them, this journey of Chiron through <strong>Aries</strong> is not about aggression, but rather assertiveness. For all of us, whatever our starting point, it is also about acknowledging and embracing limitations around anger. We also need an open, compassionate awareness as to whether we are responding or \"reacting\" to our circumstances.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs we develop understanding for our inner \"wounded\" child and our \"human\" limitations (in parallel with the above) we build a space for compassion. In fact, I recommend you celebrate your limitations. Why? Because that means you are compassionately aware of them -- and awareness is always the first step towards healing.\r\n\r\nWalking these paths can continually recreate us as leaders with an holistic approach and a healing, compassionate presence.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWere you born between April 1968 and May 1976? Or Oct. 1976 - March 1977? If the answer is yes, you have Chiron in Aries in your a natal chart and will have a Chiron Return within the next 8-9years.\r\n\r\nIn the next Forum, we\'ll be talking about Chiron moving into <strong>Aries</strong> and Uranus moving into <strong>Taurus</strong> -- major shifts! And here\'s our <b>Special Offer again: </b>if you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for the next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get that Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar recording mentioned above for FREE ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 0-3 degrees</i><b><i> </i></b><i>of</i><b><i><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> Aries, Libra, </span>Capricorn, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

We experience new depths of intimacy (with an existing or new partner), we learn to appreciate the important people in our lives, and our value system transforms and evolves.\r\n\r\nThis is likely an excellent period for finances as well. Work we\'ve done might pay off, and we are able to manage our finances better, with more attention to sustainability, planning, and strategy -- as well as the elimination of anything that no longer serves us. We might renew a commitment, or bring new, deeper and more intimate energy into a relationship under the influence of this aspect.\r\n\r\nOur sexual lives might get a real boost now, as we tend to want to connect on a deeper level. We might find ourselves strongly attracted to someone, almost to the point of obsession. If this aspect connects with any of your personal planets, you might just meet the \"love of your life\". <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nOne thing is for sure -- relationships experienced now are bound to be unforgettable. While this transit tends to signal new or strengthened relationships, any relationship that ends during this cycle may leave us feeling liberated. What are you feeling drawn to on a deep instinctual level? What deep desires are surfacing? What values can you no longer compromise on?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees </i><i>of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> will be most blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Venus being the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday until 6pm EDT,</strong> if you haven\'t set your <em>Intentions</em> yet, this is your last chance to do so during the most potent time! If possible, align them with the New Moon energies that I spoke about in my last video — feel free to watch it again if you are not sure anymore — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here to watch my video on the New Moon</a>: https://youtu.be/J1ILKRA2_pI<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>;-)\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:05pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for 14 hours, <strong>until 8:02am EDT (Wednesday morning).</strong> Use this intuitive time to<span style=\"color: #993300;\"> </span>take care of anything that has value for you on a physical level.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

We know that if we want to move to the next level, we need to strategize with others.\r\n\r\nWe are also asked to connect to the unusual. Our creative core is awakened: We feel compelled to express ourselves in unique (or at least unconventional) ways. Our consciousness expands, we are receptive to new ways of thinking, doing, and living; this increased openness to all that is new and different may bring unexpected opportunities.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned in the <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">New Moon video</a> (https://youtu.be/J1ILKRA2_pI) I posted earlier last week, Uranus symbolizes the desire for freedom, equality, and progress. Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>, aligned with the Sun, asks us to break away from whatever keeps us from stepping up our game. Shifts are happening everywhere. It\'s time to develop some courage and awareness: Where do you want to step up? If you made a big leap, where might you land?\r\n\r\nOne thing to remember: Keeping the heart and mind open could make a big difference to the experience of this alignment.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 25-2 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Cancer, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius) </i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (April 19th)</strong>: <i>the</i> <i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><strong> all day</strong> (see Wednesday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 11:13pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Sun changes signs from adventurous, speedy </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> to peaceful, steady </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until May 20th</strong><b>. </b>For the next four weeks, our attention is on physical pleasures, and we are more aware of our need for comfort and consistency. The Sun in Taurus reminds us to slow down and smell the roses.\r\n\r\nWe are able to be very consistent and methodical, which helps us bring groundedness and reality to our new goals. We focus on what is most important to us. What do you value most? How do you feel about yourself and what you bring to the table?\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Taurus, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo, your vitality will most likely slow down and you might indulge in physical or material pleasures.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (April 20th)</strong>: <i>the</i> <i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><strong> until 10:26am EDT</strong> (see Wednesday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 8:05am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 2.5 hours, <strong>until 10:26am EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday around 11:16am EDT: i</strong>f you set <i>intentions</i> last Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday, right after the New Moon became exact, <strong>today</strong> will be a <i>great time to take relevant actions</i>. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively.

Pluto\'s energy will continue to move more slowly until May 5th.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs I already mentioned on Monday, when an outer planet stops, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us -- and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\r\n\r\nDuring the retrograde phase, we will have a chance to connect to anything associated with Pluto from within. Pluto is associated with our soul purpose, as well as the process of empowerment -- our ability to feel empowered from within -- and with our deepest passions. This forced us to see what really motivates us.\r\n\r\n<strong>For the next 5 months,</strong> we need to tap into inner authenticity, embracing the entirety of ourselves — the good, the bad, and the ugly. Paradoxically, this will help us let go of any habits, behaviors or fears that are holding us back from feeling fully empowered from within.\r\n\r\nWe are invited to tap into our passion, strength and Soul\'s purpose from the inside out. This deeper connection will support us in our journey towards authenticity. We can then build long-term goals that are aligned with our Soul\'s purpose. Ask yourself: What do I \"just know\", deep down?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-23 degrees of</i> <b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><i>? If so,<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>you will feel this station/retrograde more strongly.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b> <i>(Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i> <i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 1:09pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into fun-loving (and attention-loving) </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Tuesday late afternoon.</strong><b> </b>We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nIf there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\nThis Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Saturday late evening).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early evening, at 5:46pm EDT</strong>, <i>the first Quarter Moon in almost 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo </i></b>becomes exact. <b>We started to feel this aspect from the moment the Moon entered Leo <strong> earlier today at 1:09pm EDT</strong>. </b>The Moon in fun and attention-loving <b>Leo </b>makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in steady,<i> </i>peaceful <b>Taurus</b><b>.</b>\r\n\r\nWe feel compelled to take action. The New Moon took place a week ago (April 15th); \"seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making their first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day interactions with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 0-5 degrees of</i><b><i> Leo, Taurus, Aquarius</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>?

This felt very much in alignment with the Station phases and Chiron in that last degree of Pisces! :-)\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: Pluto\'s Station intensifies on Monday, Chiron changes signs from Pisces to Aries on Tuesday early morning, Saturn comes to a halt on Tuesday late evening -- starting its 4.5-month retrograde phase -- while the Sun changes signs from Aries to Taurus on Thursday late evening. Mercury\'s Station phase ends on Friday, which is also the day you can start taking actions on your New Moon Intentions. Finally, Pluto comes to a halt on Sunday, starting its 5-month retrograde phase.\r\n\r\nThere will also be four <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Monday very early morning (for almost 3 hours), Tuesday early evening (for 14 hours), Friday morning (for almost 2.5 hours), and Sunday late morning (for a little over 2 hours).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (April 16th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in </em><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><em>pioneering, fast-paced </em> </span><em><strong>Aries</strong></em><strong> until 4:51am EDT. </strong><strong>At 1:59am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 3 hours, <strong>until 4:51am EDT. </strong>Use this intuitive time to connect with people that can enthusiastically support your projects and share with them what you have going on.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

What habits, behaviors or fears are holding me back from feeling fully empowered from within? What would it look like, if I was fully aligned with my Soul-purpose? How would it feel?

In the same spirit, we might also have a tendency to live beyond our means.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs you can see, we need to watch out for feeling overly-optimistic or -enthusiastic. Moderation is the keyword, with regard to both finances and our affections: Check your bank account... and keep it real ;-) Find the balance between what you value in yourself versus what others could contribute to your sense of empowerment.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\nOn <b>Tuesday at 4:12am EDT</b>, <i>Chiron moves from <strong>Pisces</strong> into <strong>Aries</strong>, </i>where it will journey <b>until September 25th</b> -- you can regard this as a preview of coming attractions, since Chiron will move into Aries in 2019... and then stay in that sign for 8 years!\r\n\r\nWhat is the significance of Chiron? It\'s considered the bridge between the limitations of the physical and the unlimited nature of the non-physical (or spiritual) world. Often referred to as the \"Wounded Healer\", it reminds us of our humanity -- and guides us to see it as a gift.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWhen we take responsibility for our human limitations and move past seeing them as \"wrong\" or \"bad\", our inner gifts and uniqueness can emerge more completely and powerfully.\r\n\r\nLet\'s look now at <b>Chiron </b>in<b> Aries:</b><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>The day after Chiron moves into Aries, the Sun conjuncts Uranus in that same sign. This points to the possibility that Chiron\'s journey through Aries will place a strong emphasis on liberation of the self.\r\n\r\nChiron in <strong>Aries</strong> is all about the wounded warrior, the Healer-Hero that emerges from a Warrior\'s healing journey. The healing path consists of seeing, acknowledging, embracing, and finally loving ourselves just as we are: physically, emotionally<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>and spiritually -- especially when it comes to our personal goals, leadership and inspirational abilities, our ability to take action, our \"masculine\" drive.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nBroadly speaking, then: our capacity to go after what we desire...\r\n\r\nWe get to see that we all have the ability to heal, and be healed, through our actions. Each of us can step into our inner healer in our own unique way.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nYou can ask yourself: What is the next step on the path of healing for my inner child, my inner wounding? How were my ancestors wounded around \"the masculine\"? What step can I personally take on that healing path?\r\n\r\nChiron in <strong>Aries</strong> also has us look at some of the following: How we express our anger (or how we do not express it), how we might further heal our relationship to our body (this includes sexuality, gender, etc.) and our personal desires; how we do or do not take initiative, display courage, and practice self-determination.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAsk: What would a healthy sense of identity, independence, and willpower enable me to do? Might accepting my limitations lead to unique ways to move with those energies? What makes me an individual? What are my unique desires and goals?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nThere is also an emphasis on injuries (especially head injuries), physical flaws, issues around anger and assertion of our anger, impatience, being ok with who we are. All of these issues could feel sensitive and fire off our \"triggers\" or bring up shame.\r\n\r\nOne thing is for sure: Chiron in Aries will show us a new perspective and will open new doors of healing for us -- likely a physically active Healing Journey. To the extent that this transit highlights our leadership abilities, the journey is toward becoming a different kind of leader, a non-traditional one.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nThis question lies at the heart of that journey: How do we channel our masculine energy?\r\n\r\nThis is a very important question, if we are to become a conscious, holistic warrior. Picture the film actors Bruce Lee, Jet Li, or Michelle Yeah -- they are consciously connecting the active physical with the emotional and spiritual -- through martial arts in their case -- you might also picture a great practitioner of Yoga -- we\'re talking here about a conscious, holistic relationship to physical dynamics.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWhat do we see in great practitioners of these arts?\r\n\r\nAmong other things, they seem to understand that impatience is wanting to move faster than what is required in the now moment.\r\n\r\nThey take responsibility for their triggers around reactivity, impatience, aggression, inconsiderate leadership, etc. and have an understanding for where it comes from (ancestors history, childhood) and what the impact is on others.\r\n\r\nThey look for unique ways to express themselves and channel those energies in a healthy way, sometimes in a new, non-traditional way. They ask \"What might be the alternatives here?\"\r\n\r\nThey are compassionate with themselves and others when it comes to expressing masculine energies.\r\n\r\nLike them, this journey of Chiron through <strong>Aries</strong> is not about aggression, but rather assertiveness. For all of us, whatever our starting point, it is also about acknowledging and embracing limitations around anger. We also need an open, compassionate awareness as to whether we are responding or \"reacting\" to our circumstances.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs we develop understanding for our inner \"wounded\" child and our \"human\" limitations (in parallel with the above) we build a space for compassion. In fact, I recommend you celebrate your limitations. Why? Because that means you are compassionately aware of them -- and awareness is always the first step towards healing.\r\n\r\nWalking these paths can continually recreate us as leaders with an holistic approach and a healing, compassionate presence.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWere you born between April 1968 and May 1976? Or Oct. 1976 - March 1977? If the answer is yes, you have Chiron in Aries in your a natal chart and will have a Chiron Return within the next 8-9years.\r\n\r\nIn the next Forum, we\'ll be talking about Chiron moving into <strong>Aries</strong> and Uranus moving into <strong>Taurus</strong> -- major shifts! And here\'s our <b>Special Offer again: </b>if you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for the next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get that Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar recording mentioned above for FREE ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 0-3 degrees</i><b><i> </i></b><i>of</i><b><i><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> Aries, Libra, </span>Capricorn, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

We experience new depths of intimacy (with an existing or new partner), we learn to appreciate the important people in our lives, and our value system transforms and evolves.\r\n\r\nThis is likely an excellent period for finances as well. Work we\'ve done might pay off, and we are able to manage our finances better, with more attention to sustainability, planning, and strategy -- as well as the elimination of anything that no longer serves us. We might renew a commitment, or bring new, deeper and more intimate energy into a relationship under the influence of this aspect.\r\n\r\nOur sexual lives might get a real boost now, as we tend to want to connect on a deeper level. We might find ourselves strongly attracted to someone, almost to the point of obsession. If this aspect connects with any of your personal planets, you might just meet the \"love of your life\". <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nOne thing is for sure -- relationships experienced now are bound to be unforgettable. While this transit tends to signal new or strengthened relationships, any relationship that ends during this cycle may leave us feeling liberated. What are you feeling drawn to on a deep instinctual level? What deep desires are surfacing? What values can you no longer compromise on?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees </i><i>of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> will be most blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Venus being the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday until 6pm EDT,</strong> if you haven\'t set your <em>Intentions</em> yet, this is your last chance to do so during the most potent time! If possible, align them with the New Moon energies that I spoke about in my last video — feel free to watch it again if you are not sure anymore — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here to watch my video on the New Moon</a>: https://youtu.be/J1ILKRA2_pI<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>;-)\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:05pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for 14 hours, <strong>until 8:02am EDT (Wednesday morning).</strong> Use this intuitive time to<span style=\"color: #993300;\"> </span>take care of anything that has value for you on a physical level.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

Take a deep breath whenever you can, as often as you can (especially Monday through Wednesday night of this week).\r\n\r\nSaturn represents our structures, responsibilities, commitments -- and our ability to \"do\" life on life\'s terms. When this planet comes to a halt and turns retrograde, we get to see where we need to create or renew our commitments.

The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late morning</strong>, <em>a Sun/Uranus alignment in 28.5 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> becomes exact at 10:00am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday night (April 14th) on; it will remain strong until this Saturday evening. </strong>This alignment brings confidence and a desire to connect with others through a common cause. We may have sudden insights into our friendships -- and how they connect us to a bigger vision. We know that if we want to move to the next level, we need to strategize with others.\r\n\r\nWe are also asked to connect to the unusual. Our creative core is awakened: We feel compelled to express ourselves in unique (or at least unconventional) ways. Our consciousness expands, we are receptive to new ways of thinking, doing, and living; this increased openness to all that is new and different may bring unexpected opportunities.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned in the <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">New Moon video</a> (https://youtu.be/J1ILKRA2_pI) I posted earlier last week, Uranus symbolizes the desire for freedom, equality, and progress. Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>, aligned with the Sun, asks us to break away from whatever keeps us from stepping up our game. Shifts are happening everywhere. It\'s time to develop some courage and awareness: Where do you want to step up? If you made a big leap, where might you land?\r\n\r\nOne thing to remember: Keeping the heart and mind open could make a big difference to the experience of this alignment.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 25-2 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Cancer, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>?

The Sun in Taurus reminds us to slow down and smell the roses.\r\n\r\nWe are able to be very consistent and methodical, which helps us bring groundedness and reality to our new goals. We focus on what is most important to us. What do you value most? How do you feel about yourself and what you bring to the table?\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign.

Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday around 11:16am EDT: i</strong>f you set <i>intentions</i> last Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday, right after the New Moon became exact, <strong>today</strong> will be a <i>great time to take relevant actions</i>.

Pluto\'s energy will continue to move more slowly until May 5th.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs I already mentioned on Monday, when an outer planet stops, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us -- and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\r\n\r\nDuring the retrograde phase, we will have a chance to connect to anything associated with Pluto from within. Pluto is associated with our soul purpose, as well as the process of empowerment -- our ability to feel empowered from within -- and with our deepest passions. This forced us to see what really motivates us.\r\n\r\n<strong>For the next 5 months,</strong> we need to tap into inner authenticity, embracing the entirety of ourselves — the good, the bad, and the ugly. Paradoxically, this will help us let go of any habits, behaviors or fears that are holding us back from feeling fully empowered from within.\r\n\r\nWe are invited to tap into our passion, strength and Soul\'s purpose from the inside out. This deeper connection will support us in our journey towards authenticity. We can then build long-term goals that are aligned with our Soul\'s purpose. Ask yourself: What do I \"just know\", deep down?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-23 degrees of</i> <b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><i>?

We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nIf there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\nThis Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Saturday late evening).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early evening, at 5:46pm EDT</strong>, <i>the first Quarter Moon in almost 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo </i></b>becomes exact. <b>We started to feel this aspect from the moment the Moon entered Leo <strong> earlier today at 1:09pm EDT</strong>. </b>The Moon in fun and attention-loving <b>Leo </b>makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in steady,<i> </i>peaceful <b>Taurus</b><b>.</b>\r\n\r\nWe feel compelled to take action. The New Moon took place a week ago (April 15th); \"seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making their first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day interactions with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 0-5 degrees of</i><b><i> Leo, Taurus, Aquarius</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>?

In the same spirit, we might also have a tendency to live beyond our means.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs you can see, we need to watch out for feeling overly-optimistic or -enthusiastic. Moderation is the keyword, with regard to both finances and our affections: Check your bank account... and keep it real ;-) Find the balance between what you value in yourself versus what others could contribute to your sense of empowerment.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\nOn <b>Tuesday at 4:12am EDT</b>, <i>Chiron moves from <strong>Pisces</strong> into <strong>Aries</strong>, </i>where it will journey <b>until September 25th</b> -- you can regard this as a preview of coming attractions, since Chiron will move into Aries in 2019... and then stay in that sign for 8 years!\r\n\r\nWhat is the significance of Chiron? It\'s considered the bridge between the limitations of the physical and the unlimited nature of the non-physical (or spiritual) world. Often referred to as the \"Wounded Healer\", it reminds us of our humanity -- and guides us to see it as a gift.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWhen we take responsibility for our human limitations and move past seeing them as \"wrong\" or \"bad\", our inner gifts and uniqueness can emerge more completely and powerfully.\r\n\r\nLet\'s look now at <b>Chiron </b>in<b> Aries:</b><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>The day after Chiron moves into Aries, the Sun conjuncts Uranus in that same sign. This points to the possibility that Chiron\'s journey through Aries will place a strong emphasis on liberation of the self.\r\n\r\nChiron in <strong>Aries</strong> is all about the wounded warrior, the Healer-Hero that emerges from a Warrior\'s healing journey. The healing path consists of seeing, acknowledging, embracing, and finally loving ourselves just as we are: physically, emotionally<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>and spiritually -- especially when it comes to our personal goals, leadership and inspirational abilities, our ability to take action, our \"masculine\" drive.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nBroadly speaking, then: our capacity to go after what we desire...\r\n\r\nWe get to see that we all have the ability to heal, and be healed, through our actions. Each of us can step into our inner healer in our own unique way.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nYou can ask yourself: What is the next step on the path of healing for my inner child, my inner wounding? How were my ancestors wounded around \"the masculine\"? What step can I personally take on that healing path?\r\n\r\nChiron in <strong>Aries</strong> also has us look at some of the following: How we express our anger (or how we do not express it), how we might further heal our relationship to our body (this includes sexuality, gender, etc.) and our personal desires; how we do or do not take initiative, display courage, and practice self-determination.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAsk: What would a healthy sense of identity, independence, and willpower enable me to do? Might accepting my limitations lead to unique ways to move with those energies? What makes me an individual? What are my unique desires and goals?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nThere is also an emphasis on injuries (especially head injuries), physical flaws, issues around anger and assertion of our anger, impatience, being ok with who we are. All of these issues could feel sensitive and fire off our \"triggers\" or bring up shame.\r\n\r\nOne thing is for sure: Chiron in Aries will show us a new perspective and will open new doors of healing for us -- likely a physically active Healing Journey. To the extent that this transit highlights our leadership abilities, the journey is toward becoming a different kind of leader, a non-traditional one.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nThis question lies at the heart of that journey: How do we channel our masculine energy?\r\n\r\nThis is a very important question, if we are to become a conscious, holistic warrior. Picture the film actors Bruce Lee, Jet Li, or Michelle Yeah -- they are consciously connecting the active physical with the emotional and spiritual -- through martial arts in their case -- you might also picture a great practitioner of Yoga -- we\'re talking here about a conscious, holistic relationship to physical dynamics.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWhat do we see in great practitioners of these arts?\r\n\r\nAmong other things, they seem to understand that impatience is wanting to move faster than what is required in the now moment.\r\n\r\nThey take responsibility for their triggers around reactivity, impatience, aggression, inconsiderate leadership, etc. and have an understanding for where it comes from (ancestors history, childhood) and what the impact is on others.\r\n\r\nThey look for unique ways to express themselves and channel those energies in a healthy way, sometimes in a new, non-traditional way. They ask \"What might be the alternatives here?\"\r\n\r\nThey are compassionate with themselves and others when it comes to expressing masculine energies.\r\n\r\nLike them, this journey of Chiron through <strong>Aries</strong> is not about aggression, but rather assertiveness. For all of us, whatever our starting point, it is also about acknowledging and embracing limitations around anger. We also need an open, compassionate awareness as to whether we are responding or \"reacting\" to our circumstances.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs we develop understanding for our inner \"wounded\" child and our \"human\" limitations (in parallel with the above) we build a space for compassion. In fact, I recommend you celebrate your limitations. Why? Because that means you are compassionately aware of them -- and awareness is always the first step towards healing.\r\n\r\nWalking these paths can continually recreate us as leaders with an holistic approach and a healing, compassionate presence.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWere you born between April 1968 and May 1976? Or Oct. 1976 - March 1977? If the answer is yes, you have Chiron in Aries in your a natal chart and will have a Chiron Return within the next 8-9years.\r\n\r\nIn the next Forum, we\'ll be talking about Chiron moving into <strong>Aries</strong> and Uranus moving into <strong>Taurus</strong> -- major shifts! And here\'s our <b>Special Offer again: </b>if you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for the next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get that Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar recording mentioned above for FREE ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 0-3 degrees</i><b><i> </i></b><i>of</i><b><i><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> Aries, Libra, </span>Capricorn, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

We experience new depths of intimacy (with an existing or new partner), we learn to appreciate the important people in our lives, and our value system transforms and evolves.\r\n\r\nThis is likely an excellent period for finances as well. Work we\'ve done might pay off, and we are able to manage our finances better, with more attention to sustainability, planning, and strategy -- as well as the elimination of anything that no longer serves us. We might renew a commitment, or bring new, deeper and more intimate energy into a relationship under the influence of this aspect.\r\n\r\nOur sexual lives might get a real boost now, as we tend to want to connect on a deeper level. We might find ourselves strongly attracted to someone, almost to the point of obsession. If this aspect connects with any of your personal planets, you might just meet the \"love of your life\". <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nOne thing is for sure -- relationships experienced now are bound to be unforgettable. While this transit tends to signal new or strengthened relationships, any relationship that ends during this cycle may leave us feeling liberated. What are you feeling drawn to on a deep instinctual level? What deep desires are surfacing? What values can you no longer compromise on?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees </i><i>of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> will be most blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Venus being the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday until 6pm EDT,</strong> if you haven\'t set your <em>Intentions</em> yet, this is your last chance to do so during the most potent time! If possible, align them with the New Moon energies that I spoke about in my last video — feel free to watch it again if you are not sure anymore — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here to watch my video on the New Moon</a>: https://youtu.be/J1ILKRA2_pI<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>;-)\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:05pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for 14 hours, <strong>until 8:02am EDT (Wednesday morning).</strong> Use this intuitive time to<span style=\"color: #993300;\"> </span>take care of anything that has value for you on a physical level.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

Take a deep breath whenever you can, as often as you can (especially Monday through Wednesday night of this week).\r\n\r\nSaturn represents our structures, responsibilities, commitments -- and our ability to \"do\" life on life\'s terms. When this planet comes to a halt and turns retrograde, we get to see where we need to create or renew our commitments.

The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late morning</strong>, <em>a Sun/Uranus alignment in 28.5 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> becomes exact at 10:00am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday night (April 14th) on; it will remain strong until this Saturday evening. </strong>This alignment brings confidence and a desire to connect with others through a common cause. We may have sudden insights into our friendships -- and how they connect us to a bigger vision. We know that if we want to move to the next level, we need to strategize with others.\r\n\r\nWe are also asked to connect to the unusual. Our creative core is awakened: We feel compelled to express ourselves in unique (or at least unconventional) ways. Our consciousness expands, we are receptive to new ways of thinking, doing, and living; this increased openness to all that is new and different may bring unexpected opportunities.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned in the <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">New Moon video</a> (https://youtu.be/J1ILKRA2_pI) I posted earlier last week, Uranus symbolizes the desire for freedom, equality, and progress. Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>, aligned with the Sun, asks us to break away from whatever keeps us from stepping up our game. Shifts are happening everywhere. It\'s time to develop some courage and awareness: Where do you want to step up? If you made a big leap, where might you land?\r\n\r\nOne thing to remember: Keeping the heart and mind open could make a big difference to the experience of this alignment.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 25-2 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Cancer, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>?

The Sun in Taurus reminds us to slow down and smell the roses.\r\n\r\nWe are able to be very consistent and methodical, which helps us bring groundedness and reality to our new goals. We focus on what is most important to us. What do you value most? How do you feel about yourself and what you bring to the table?\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign.

Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday around 11:16am EDT: i</strong>f you set <i>intentions</i> last Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday, right after the New Moon became exact, <strong>today</strong> will be a <i>great time to take relevant actions</i>.

Pluto\'s energy will continue to move more slowly until May 5th.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs I already mentioned on Monday, when an outer planet stops, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us -- and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\r\n\r\nDuring the retrograde phase, we will have a chance to connect to anything associated with Pluto from within. Pluto is associated with our soul purpose, as well as the process of empowerment -- our ability to feel empowered from within -- and with our deepest passions. This forced us to see what really motivates us.\r\n\r\n<strong>For the next 5 months,</strong> we need to tap into inner authenticity, embracing the entirety of ourselves — the good, the bad, and the ugly. Paradoxically, this will help us let go of any habits, behaviors or fears that are holding us back from feeling fully empowered from within.\r\n\r\nWe are invited to tap into our passion, strength and Soul\'s purpose from the inside out. This deeper connection will support us in our journey towards authenticity. We can then build long-term goals that are aligned with our Soul\'s purpose. Ask yourself: What do I \"just know\", deep down?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-23 degrees of</i> <b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><i>?

We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nIf there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\nThis Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Saturday late evening).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early evening, at 5:46pm EDT</strong>, <i>the first Quarter Moon in almost 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo </i></b>becomes exact. <b>We started to feel this aspect from the moment the Moon entered Leo <strong> earlier today at 1:09pm EDT</strong>. </b>The Moon in fun and attention-loving <b>Leo </b>makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in steady,<i> </i>peaceful <b>Taurus</b><b>.</b>\r\n\r\nWe feel compelled to take action.

This felt very much in alignment with the Station phases and Chiron in that last degree of Pisces! :-)\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: Pluto\'s Station intensifies on Monday, Chiron changes signs from Pisces to Aries on Tuesday early morning, Saturn comes to a halt on Tuesday late evening -- starting its 4.5-month retrograde phase -- while the Sun changes signs from Aries to Taurus on Thursday late evening. Mercury\'s Station phase ends on Friday, which is also the day you can start taking actions on your New Moon Intentions. Finally, Pluto comes to a halt on Sunday, starting its 5-month retrograde phase.\r\n\r\nThere will also be four <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC phases</a> this week: Monday very early morning (for almost 3 hours), Tuesday early evening (for 14 hours), Friday morning (for almost 2.5 hours), and Sunday late morning (for a little over 2 hours).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (April 16th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in </em><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><em>pioneering, fast-paced </em> </span><em><strong>Aries</strong></em><strong> until 4:51am EDT. </strong><strong>At 1:59am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 3 hours, <strong>until 4:51am EDT. </strong>Use this intuitive time to connect with people that can enthusiastically support your projects and share with them what you have going on.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, take a closer look at whatever is \"in your face\" <b>for the next 3 weeks.</b> Look for what might no longer be in alignment with your soul\'s purpose (your deep, authentic, emotional Self).\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: Where am I holding on, out of fear? What habits, behaviors or fears are holding me back from feeling fully empowered from within? What would it look like, if I was fully aligned with my Soul-purpose? How would it feel? When we confront our fears we very often discover hidden gifts and strengths.\r\n\r\nFeel free to watch our mp4 video presentation on this month\'s Saturn and Pluto Station and Retrograde phases in relationship to our own Birth charts...To purchase this webinar, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">click here. </a>\r\n\r\n<b>Special Offer extended until April 22nd: </b>If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE ;-) <b>Please note </b>that we will be talking about Chiron moving into Aries and Uranus moving into Taurus, in our next Forum.

In the same spirit, we might also have a tendency to live beyond our means.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs you can see, we need to watch out for feeling overly-optimistic or -enthusiastic. Moderation is the keyword, with regard to both finances and our affections: Check your bank account... and keep it real ;-) Find the balance between what you value in yourself versus what others could contribute to your sense of empowerment.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\nOn <b>Tuesday at 4:12am EDT</b>, <i>Chiron moves from dreamy, sensitive <b>Pisces</b> to fast-paced, enthusiastic <b>Aries</b>, </i>where it will journey <b>until Sept. 25th</b> -- you can regard this as a preview of coming attractions, since Chiron will move into Aries in 2019... and then stay in that sign for 8 years!\r\n\r\nWhat is the significance of Chiron? It\'s considered the bridge between the limitations of the physical and the unlimited nature of the non-physical (or spiritual) world. Often referred to as the \"Wounded Healer\", it reminds us of our humanity -- and guides us to see it as a gift.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWhen we take responsibility for our human limitations and move past seeing them as \"wrong\" or \"bad\", our inner gifts and uniqueness can emerge more completely and powerfully.\r\n\r\nLet\'s look now at <b>Chiron </b>in<b> Aries:</b><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>The day after Chiron moves into Aries, the Sun conjuncts Uranus in that same sign. This points to the possibility that Chiron\'s journey through Aries will place a strong emphasis on liberation of the self.\r\n\r\nChiron in <strong>Aries</strong> is all about the wounded warrior, the Healer-Hero that emerges from a Warrior\'s healing journey. The healing path consists of seeing, acknowledging, embracing, and finally loving ourselves just as we are: physically, emotionally<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>and spiritually -- especially when it comes to our personal goals, leadership and inspirational abilities, our ability to take action, our \"masculine\" drive.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nBroadly speaking, then: our capacity to go after what we desire...\r\n\r\nWe get to see that we all have the ability to heal, and be healed, through our actions. Each of us can step into our inner healer in our own unique way.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nYou can ask yourself: What is the next step on the path of healing for my inner child, my inner wounding? How were my ancestors wounded around \"the masculine\"? What step can I personally take on that healing path?\r\n\r\nChiron in <strong>Aries</strong> also has us look at some of the following: How we express our anger (or how we do not express it), how we might further heal our relationship to our body (this includes sexuality, gender, etc.) and our personal desires; how we do or do not take initiative, display courage, and practice self-determination.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAsk: What would a healthy sense of identity, independence, and willpower enable me to do? Might accepting my limitations lead to unique ways to move with those energies? What makes me an individual? What are my unique desires and goals?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nThere is also an emphasis on injuries (especially head injuries), physical flaws, issues around anger and assertion of our anger, impatience, being ok with who we are. All of these issues could feel sensitive and fire off our \"triggers\" or bring up shame.\r\n\r\nOne thing is for sure: Chiron in Aries will show us a new perspective and will open new doors of healing for us -- likely a physically active Healing Journey. To the extent that this transit highlights our leadership abilities, the journey is toward becoming a different kind of leader, a non-traditional one.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nThis question lies at the heart of that journey: How do we channel our masculine energy?\r\n\r\nThis is a very important question, if we are to become a conscious, holistic warrior. Picture the film actors Bruce Lee, Jet Li, or Michelle Yeah -- they are consciously connecting the active physical with the emotional and spiritual -- through martial arts in their case -- you might also picture a great practitioner of Yoga -- we\'re talking here about a conscious, holistic relationship to physical dynamics.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWhat do we see in great practitioners of these arts?\r\n\r\nAmong other things, they seem to understand that impatience is wanting to move faster than what is required in the now moment.\r\n\r\nThey take responsibility for their triggers around reactivity, impatience, aggression, inconsiderate leadership, etc. and have an understanding for where it comes from (ancestors history, childhood) and what the impact is on others.\r\n\r\nThey look for unique ways to express themselves and channel those energies in a healthy way, sometimes in a new, non-traditional way. They ask \"What might be the alternatives here?\"\r\n\r\nThey are compassionate with themselves and others when it comes to expressing masculine energies.\r\n\r\nLike them, this journey of Chiron through <strong>Aries</strong> is not about aggression, but rather assertiveness. For all of us, whatever our starting point, it is also about acknowledging and embracing limitations around anger. We also need an open, compassionate awareness as to whether we are responding or \"reacting\" to our circumstances.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs we develop understanding for our inner \"wounded\" child and our \"human\" limitations (in parallel with the above) we build a space for compassion. In fact, I recommend you celebrate your limitations. Why? Because that means you are compassionately aware of them -- and awareness is always the first step towards healing.\r\n\r\nWalking these paths can continually recreate us as leaders with an holistic approach and a healing, compassionate presence.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWere you born between April 1968 and May 1976? Or Oct. 1976 - March 1977? If the answer is yes, you have Chiron in Aries in your a natal chart and will have a Chiron Return within the next 8-9years.\r\n\r\nIn the next Forum, we\'ll be talking about Chiron moving into <strong>Aries</strong> and Uranus moving into <strong>Taurus</strong> -- major shifts! And here\'s our <b>Special Offer again: </b>if you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for the next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get that Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar recording mentioned above for FREE ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 0-3 degrees</i><b><i> </i></b><i>of</i><b><i><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> Aries, Libra, </span>Capricorn, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

We experience new depths of intimacy (with an existing or new partner), we learn to appreciate the important people in our lives, and our value system transforms and evolves.\r\n\r\nThis is likely an excellent period for finances as well. Work we\'ve done might pay off, and we are able to manage our finances better, with more attention to sustainability, planning, and strategy -- as well as the elimination of anything that no longer serves us. We might renew a commitment, or bring new, deeper and more intimate energy into a relationship under the influence of this aspect.\r\n\r\nOur sexual lives might get a real boost now, as we tend to want to connect on a deeper level. We might find ourselves strongly attracted to someone, almost to the point of obsession. If this aspect connects with any of your personal planets, you might just meet the \"love of your life\". <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nOne thing is for sure -- relationships experienced now are bound to be unforgettable. While this transit tends to signal new or strengthened relationships, any relationship that ends during this cycle may leave us feeling liberated. What are you feeling drawn to on a deep instinctual level? What deep desires are surfacing? What values can you no longer compromise on?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees </i><i>of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> will be most blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Venus being the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday until 6pm EDT,</strong> if you haven\'t set your <em>Intentions</em> yet, this is your last chance to do so during the most potent time! If possible, align them with the New Moon energies that I spoke about in my last video — feel free to watch it again if you are not sure anymore — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here to watch my video on the New Moon</a>: https://youtu.be/J1ILKRA2_pI<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>;-)\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:05pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"http://www.sonjafrancis2.vpweb.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for 14 hours, <strong>until 8:02am EDT (Wednesday morning).</strong> Use this intuitive time to<span style=\"color: #993300;\"> </span>take care of anything that has value for you on a physical level.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late morning</strong>, <em>a Sun/Uranus alignment in 28.5 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> becomes exact at 10:00am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday night (April 14th) on; it will remain strong until this Saturday evening. </strong>This alignment brings confidence and a desire to connect with others through a common cause. We may have sudden insights into our friendships -- and how they connect us to a bigger vision. We know that if we want to move to the next level, we need to strategize with others.\r\n\r\nWe are also asked to connect to the unusual. Our creative core is awakened: We feel compelled to express ourselves in unique (or at least unconventional) ways. Our consciousness expands, we are receptive to new ways of thinking, doing, and living; this increased openness to all that is new and different may bring unexpected opportunities.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned in the <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">New Moon video</a> (https://youtu.be/J1ILKRA2_pI) I posted earlier last week, Uranus symbolizes the desire for freedom, equality, and progress. Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>, aligned with the Sun, asks us to break away from whatever keeps us from stepping up our game. Shifts are happening everywhere. It\'s time to develop some courage and awareness: Where do you want to step up? If you made a big leap, where might you land?\r\n\r\nOne thing to remember: Keeping the heart and mind open could make a big difference to the experience of this alignment.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 25-2 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Cancer, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>?

Pluto\'s energy will continue to move more slowly until May 5th.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs I already mentioned on Monday, when an outer planet stops, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us -- and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\r\n\r\nDuring the retrograde phase, we will have a chance to connect to anything associated with Pluto from within. Pluto is associated with our soul purpose, as well as the process of empowerment -- our ability to feel empowered from within -- and with our deepest passions. This forced us to see what really motivates us.\r\n\r\n<strong>For the next 5 months,</strong> we need to tap into inner authenticity, embracing the entirety of ourselves — the good, the bad, and the ugly. Paradoxically, this will help us let go of any habits, behaviors or fears that are holding us back from feeling fully empowered from within.\r\n\r\nWe are invited to tap into our passion, strength and Soul\'s purpose from the inside out. This deeper connection will support us in our journey towards authenticity. We can then build long-term goals that are aligned with our Soul\'s purpose. Ask yourself: What do I \"just know\", deep down?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-23 degrees of</i> <b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><i>? If so,<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>you will feel this station/retrograde more strongly.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b> <i>(Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i> <i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 1:09pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into fun-loving (and attention-loving) </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Tuesday late afternoon.</strong><b> </b>We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nIf there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\nThis Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Saturday late evening).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early evening, at 5:46pm EDT</strong>, <i>the first Quarter Moon in almost 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo </i></b>becomes exact. <b>We started to feel this aspect from the moment the Moon entered Leo <strong> earlier today at 1:09pm EDT</strong>. </b>The Moon in fun and attention-loving <b>Leo </b>makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in steady,<i> </i>peaceful <b>Taurus</b><b>.</b>\r\n\r\nWe feel compelled to take action. The New Moon took place a week ago (April 15th); \"seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making their first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time.

This felt very much in alignment with the Station phases and Chiron in that last degree of Pisces! :-)\n\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: Pluto\'s Station intensifies on Monday, Chiron changes signs from Pisces to Aries on Tuesday early morning, Saturn comes to a halt on Tuesday late evening -- starting its 4.5-month retrograde phase -- while the Sun changes signs from Aries to Taurus on Thursday late evening.

In the same spirit, we might also have a tendency to live beyond our means.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\n\nAs you can see, we need to watch out for feeling overly-optimistic or -enthusiastic. Moderation is the keyword, with regard to both finances and our affections: Check your bank account... and keep it real ;-) Find the balance between what you value in yourself versus what others could contribute to your sense of empowerment.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\n\nOn <b>Tuesday at 4:12am EDT</b>, <i>Chiron moves from dreamy, sensitive <b>Pisces</b> to fast-paced, enthusiastic <b>Aries</b>, </i>where it will journey <b>until Sept. 25th</b> -- you can regard this as a preview of coming attractions, since Chiron will move into Aries in 2019... and then stay in that sign for 8 years!\n\nWhat is the significance of Chiron? It\'s considered the bridge between the limitations of the physical and the unlimited nature of the non-physical (or spiritual) world. Often referred to as the \"Wounded Healer\", it reminds us of our humanity -- and guides us to see it as a gift.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\n\nWhen we take responsibility for our human limitations and move past seeing them as \"wrong\" or \"bad\", our inner gifts and uniqueness can emerge more completely and powerfully.\n\nLet\'s look now at <b>Chiron </b>in<b> Aries:</b><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>The day after Chiron moves into Aries, the Sun conjuncts Uranus in that same sign. This points to the possibility that Chiron\'s journey through Aries will place a strong emphasis on liberation of the self.\n\nChiron in <strong>Aries</strong> is all about the wounded warrior, the Healer-Hero that emerges from a Warrior\'s healing journey. The healing path consists of seeing, acknowledging, embracing, and finally loving ourselves just as we are: physically, emotionally<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>and spiritually -- especially when it comes to our personal goals, leadership and inspirational abilities, our ability to take action, our \"masculine\" drive.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\n\nBroadly speaking, then: our capacity to go after what we desire...\n\nWe get to see that we all have the ability to heal, and be healed, through our actions. Each of us can step into our inner healer in our own unique way.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\n\nYou can ask yourself: What is the next step on the path of healing for my inner child, my inner wounding? How were my ancestors wounded around \"the masculine\"? What step can I personally take on that healing path?\n\nChiron in <strong>Aries</strong> also has us look at some of the following: How we express our anger (or how we do not express it), how we might further heal our relationship to our body (this includes sexuality, gender, etc.) and our personal desires; how we do or do not take initiative, display courage, and practice self-determination.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\n\nAsk: What would a healthy sense of identity, independence, and willpower enable me to do? Might accepting my limitations lead to unique ways to move with those energies? What makes me an individual? What are my unique desires and goals?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\n\nThere is also an emphasis on injuries (especially head injuries), physical flaws, issues around anger and assertion of our anger, impatience, being ok with who we are. All of these issues could feel sensitive and fire off our \"triggers\" or bring up shame.\n\nOne thing is for sure: Chiron in Aries will show us a new perspective and will open new doors of healing for us -- likely a physically active Healing Journey. To the extent that this transit highlights our leadership abilities, the journey is toward becoming a different kind of leader, a non-traditional one.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\n\nThis question lies at the heart of that journey: How do we channel our masculine energy?\n\nThis is a very important question, if we are to become a conscious, holistic warrior. Picture the film actors Bruce Lee, Jet Li, or Michelle Yeah -- they are consciously connecting the active physical with the emotional and spiritual -- through martial arts in their case -- you might also picture a great practitioner of Yoga -- we\'re talking here about a conscious, holistic relationship to physical dynamics.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\n\nWhat do we see in great practitioners of these arts?\n\nAmong other things, they seem to understand that impatience is wanting to move faster than what is required in the now moment.\n\nThey take responsibility for their triggers around reactivity, impatience, aggression, inconsiderate leadership, etc. and have an understanding for where it comes from (ancestors history, childhood) and what the impact is on others.\n\nThey look for unique ways to express themselves and channel those energies in a healthy way, sometimes in a new, non-traditional way. They ask \"What might be the alternatives here?\"\n\nThey are compassionate with themselves and others when it comes to expressing masculine energies.\n\nLike them, this journey of Chiron through <strong>Aries</strong> is not about aggression, but rather assertiveness. For all of us, whatever our starting point, it is also about acknowledging and embracing limitations around anger. We also need an open, compassionate awareness as to whether we are responding or \"reacting\" to our circumstances.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\n\nAs we develop understanding for our inner \"wounded\" child and our \"human\" limitations (in parallel with the above) we build a space for compassion. In fact, I recommend you celebrate your limitations. Why? Because that means you are compassionately aware of them -- and awareness is always the first step towards healing.\n\nWalking these paths can continually recreate us as leaders with an holistic approach and a healing, compassionate presence.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\n\nWere you born between April 1968 and May 1976? Or Oct. 1976 - March 1977? If the answer is yes, you have Chiron in Aries in your a natal chart and will have a Chiron Return within the next 8-9years.\n\nIn the next Forum, we\'ll be talking about Chiron moving into <strong>Aries</strong> and Uranus moving into <strong>Taurus</strong> -- major shifts! And here\'s our <b>Special Offer again: </b>if you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for the next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get that Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar recording mentioned above for FREE ;-)\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or any personal planets) in 0-3 degrees</i><b><i> </i></b><i>of</i><b><i><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> Aries, Libra, </span>Capricorn, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this transit over the next 5.5 months.

We experience new depths of intimacy (with an existing or new partner), we learn to appreciate the important people in our lives, and our value system transforms and evolves.\n\nThis is likely an excellent period for finances as well. Work we\'ve done might pay off, and we are able to manage our finances better, with more attention to sustainability, planning, and strategy -- as well as the elimination of anything that no longer serves us. We might renew a commitment, or bring new, deeper and more intimate energy into a relationship under the influence of this aspect.\n\nOur sexual lives might get a real boost now, as we tend to want to connect on a deeper level. We might find ourselves strongly attracted to someone, almost to the point of obsession. If this aspect connects with any of your personal planets, you might just meet the \"love of your life\". <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\n\nOne thing is for sure -- relationships experienced now are bound to be unforgettable. While this transit tends to signal new or strengthened relationships, any relationship that ends during this cycle may leave us feeling liberated. What are you feeling drawn to on a deep instinctual level? What deep desires are surfacing? What values can you no longer compromise on?\n\n<i>Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees </i><i>of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> will be most blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Venus being the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i>\n\n<strong>Tuesday until 6pm EDT,</strong> if you haven\'t set your <em>Intentions</em> yet, this is your last chance to do so during the most potent time! If possible, align them with the New Moon energies that I spoke about in my last video — feel free to watch it again if you are not sure anymore — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here to watch my video on the New Moon</a>: https://youtu.be/J1ILKRA2_pI<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>;-)\n\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here</a>\n\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:05pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for 14 hours, <strong>until 8:02am EDT (Wednesday morning).</strong> Use this intuitive time to<span style=\"color: #993300;\"> </span>take care of anything that has value for you on a physical level.\n\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\n\n<strong>Wednesday late morning</strong>, <em>a Sun/Uranus alignment in 28.5 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> becomes exact at 10:00am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday night (April 14th) on; it will remain strong until this Saturday evening. </strong>This alignment brings confidence and a desire to connect with others through a common cause. We may have sudden insights into our friendships -- and how they connect us to a bigger vision. We know that if we want to move to the next level, we need to strategize with others.\n\nWe are also asked to connect to the unusual. Our creative core is awakened: We feel compelled to express ourselves in unique (or at least unconventional) ways. Our consciousness expands, we are receptive to new ways of thinking, doing, and living; this increased openness to all that is new and different may bring unexpected opportunities.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\n\nAs I mentioned in the <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">New Moon video</a> I posted earlier last week, Uranus symbolizes the desire for freedom, equality, and progress. Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>, aligned with the Sun, asks us to break away from whatever keeps us from stepping up our game. Shifts are happening everywhere. It\'s time to develop some courage and awareness: Where do you want to step up? If you made a big leap, where might you land?\n\nOne thing to remember: Keeping the heart and mind open could make a big difference to the experience of this alignment.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 25-2 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Cancer, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius) </i>\n\n<strong>Thursday (April 19th)</strong>: <i>the</i> <i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><strong> all day</strong> (see Wednesday morning for details).\n\n<strong>Thursday at 11:13pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Sun changes signs from adventurous, speedy </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> to peaceful, steady </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until May 20th</strong><b>. </b>For the next four weeks, our attention is on physical pleasures, and we are more aware of our need for comfort and consistency. The Sun in Taurus reminds us to slow down and smell the roses.\n\nWe are able to be very consistent and methodical, which helps us bring groundedness and reality to our new goals. We focus on what is most important to us. What do you value most? How do you feel about yourself and what you bring to the table?\n\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Taurus, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo, your vitality will most likely slow down and you might indulge in physical or material pleasures.</i>\n\n<strong>Friday (April 20th)</strong>: <i>the</i> <i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><strong> until 10:26am EDT</strong> (see Wednesday morning for details).\n\n<strong>Friday at 8:05am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 2.5 hours, <strong>until 10:26am EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\n\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday morning ahead of time :-)\n\n<strong>Friday at 10:26am EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Sunday early afternoon</strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\n\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\n\n<strong>Friday around 11:16am EDT: i</strong>f you set <i>intentions</i> last Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday, right after the New Moon became exact, <strong>today</strong> will be a <i>great time to take relevant actions</i>. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to you?\n\nAlso <strong>on Friday</strong>, <i>Mercury resumes its normal pace through the sky <strong>today</strong>, ending its station:</i> Communication and transportation are now back to “normal”, as are any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc. New ideas and information received during the Mercury retrograde phase can now be reviewed -- What could you do with that now?\n\n<strong>Saturday (April 21st)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>protective, nurturing </i><strong>Cancer</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Friday late morning for details).\n\n<strong>Saturday early afternoon, </strong>we are in a state of “flow” and emotional connection to others; spiritual and creative endeavors are favored.\n\n<em><strong>Saturday early evening:</strong></em> our instincts and need for safety are strongly engaged. We are invited to create a balance between the familiar, and our passion, ambitions, and goals for the future.\n\n<b>Saturday evening, </b>a nice feeling of ease and an ability to trust and connect deeply with others. As best as you can, trust your intuitive sensing right now, allow whatever comes up to be beneficial for you.\n\n<b>I</b><b>n the late evening,</b> we may take an all-or-northing attitude toward others; this could drive some tension or oppositional behaviors... As best you can, remain flexible and practice self-care — take good care of your emotional and physical body -- that way, you\'ll remain able to empower yourself and others.\n\n<strong>Sunday (April 22nd)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Cancer</strong></em><strong> until 1:09pm EDT</strong> (see Friday late morning for details).\n\n<strong>Sunday at 10:58am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 2 hours, <strong>until 1:09pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to make adjustments and (as best as you can) find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. Make space both for going after your vision and for taking care of emotional or family issues.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\n\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday late morning and early afternoon ahead of time :-)\n\n<strong>Sunday at 11:26am EDT</strong>, <i>Pluto comes to a halt in 21 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, starting its 5-month retrograde phase</i> (until Sept. 30th). Pluto\'s energy will continue to move more slowly until May 5th.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\n\nAs I already mentioned on Monday, when an outer planet stops, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us -- and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\n\nDuring the retrograde phase, we will have a chance to connect to anything associated with Pluto from within. Pluto is associated with our soul purpose, as well as the process of empowerment -- our ability to feel empowered from within -- and with our deepest passions. This forced us to see what really motivates us.\n\n<strong>For the next 5 months,</strong> we need to tap into inner authenticity, embracing the entirety of ourselves — the good, the bad, and the ugly. Paradoxically, this will help us let go of any habits, behaviors or fears that are holding us back from feeling fully empowered from within.\n\nWe are invited to tap into our passion, strength and Soul\'s purpose from the inside out. This deeper connection will support us in our journey towards authenticity. We can then build long-term goals that are aligned with our Soul\'s purpose. Ask yourself: What do I \"just know\", deep down?\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-23 degrees of</i> <b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><i>? If so,<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>you will feel this station/retrograde more strongly.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b> <i>(Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i> <i></i>\n\n<strong>Sunday at 1:09pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into fun-loving (and attention-loving) </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Tuesday late afternoon.</strong><b> </b>We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\n\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\n\nIf there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\n\nThis Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Saturday late evening).\n\n<strong>Sunday early evening, at 5:46pm EDT</strong>, <i>the first Quarter Moon in almost 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo </i></b>becomes exact. <b>We started to feel this aspect from the moment the Moon entered Leo <strong> earlier today at 1:09pm EDT</strong>. </b>The Moon in fun and attention-loving <b>Leo </b>makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in steady,<i> </i>peaceful <b>Taurus</b><b>.</b>\n\nWe feel compelled to take action. The New Moon took place a week ago (April 15th); \"seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making their first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\n\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day interactions with others.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 0-5 degrees of</i><b><i> Leo, Taurus, Aquarius</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\n\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (April 23rd)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>fun and attention-loving </i><strong>Leo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Sunday early afternoon for details).<i> Also,<b> Monday night/Tuesday very early morning</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an opportune Mars/ Saturn aspect</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> becomes exact </span><b>at 1:13am EDT</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More about all the details in next week’s forecast ;-)</span>\n<h3>One Last Announcement:</h3>\nJoin me for my next FORECASTING FORUM, <b>Monday</b>, <b>April 30th, 2018 at </b>12pm<b> </b>PDT/<b> 3pm EDT</b>/8pm BST (London-time).<b> Please note </b><strong>that we will be talking about Chiron in Aries and Uranus in Taurus.

In the same spirit, we might also have a tendency to live beyond our means.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs you can see, we need to watch out for feeling overly-optimistic or -enthusiastic. Moderation is the keyword, with regard to both finances and our affections: Check your bank account... and keep it real ;-) Find the balance between what you value in yourself versus what others could contribute to your sense of empowerment.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of</i><b><i> Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\nOn <b>Tuesday at 4:12am EDT</b>, <i>Chiron moves from dreamy, sensitive <b>Pisces</b> to fast-paced, enthusiastic <b>Aries</b>, </i>where it will journey <b>until Sept. 25th</b> -- you can regard this as a preview of coming attractions, since Chiron will move into Aries in 2019... and then stay in that sign for 8 years!\r\n\r\nWhat is the significance of Chiron? It\'s considered the bridge between the limitations of the physical and the unlimited nature of the non-physical (or spiritual) world. Often referred to as the \"Wounded Healer\", it reminds us of our humanity -- and guides us to see it as a gift.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWhen we take responsibility for our human limitations and move past seeing them as \"wrong\" or \"bad\", our inner gifts and uniqueness can emerge more completely and powerfully.\r\n\r\nLet\'s look now at <b>Chiron </b>in<b> Aries:</b><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>The day after Chiron moves into Aries, the Sun conjuncts Uranus in that same sign. This points to the possibility that Chiron\'s journey through Aries will place a strong emphasis on liberation of the self.\r\n\r\nChiron in <strong>Aries</strong> is all about the wounded warrior, the Healer-Hero that emerges from a Warrior\'s healing journey. The healing path consists of seeing, acknowledging, embracing, and finally loving ourselves just as we are: physically, emotionally<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>and spiritually -- especially when it comes to our personal goals, leadership and inspirational abilities, our ability to take action, our \"masculine\" drive.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nBroadly speaking, then: our capacity to go after what we desire...\r\n\r\nWe get to see that we all have the ability to heal, and be healed, through our actions. Each of us can step into our inner healer in our own unique way.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nYou can ask yourself: What is the next step on the path of healing for my inner child, my inner wounding? How were my ancestors wounded around \"the masculine\"? What step can I personally take on that healing path?\r\n\r\nChiron in <strong>Aries</strong> also has us look at some of the following: How we express our anger (or how we do not express it), how we might further heal our relationship to our body (this includes sexuality, gender, etc.) and our personal desires; how we do or do not take initiative, display courage, and practice self-determination.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAsk: What would a healthy sense of identity, independence, and willpower enable me to do? Might accepting my limitations lead to unique ways to move with those energies? What makes me an individual? What are my unique desires and goals?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nThere is also an emphasis on injuries (especially head injuries), physical flaws, issues around anger and assertion of our anger, impatience, being ok with who we are. All of these issues could feel sensitive and fire off our \"triggers\" or bring up shame.\r\n\r\nOne thing is for sure: Chiron in Aries will show us a new perspective and will open new doors of healing for us -- likely a physically active Healing Journey. To the extent that this transit highlights our leadership abilities, the journey is toward becoming a different kind of leader, a non-traditional one.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nThis question lies at the heart of that journey: How do we channel our masculine energy?\r\n\r\nThis is a very important question, if we are to become a conscious, holistic warrior. Picture the film actors Bruce Lee, Jet Li, or Michelle Yeah -- they are consciously connecting the active physical with the emotional and spiritual -- through martial arts in their case -- you might also picture a great practitioner of Yoga -- we\'re talking here about a conscious, holistic relationship to physical dynamics.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWhat do we see in great practitioners of these arts?\r\n\r\nAmong other things, they seem to understand that impatience is wanting to move faster than what is required in the now moment.\r\n\r\nThey take responsibility for their triggers around reactivity, impatience, aggression, inconsiderate leadership, etc. and have an understanding for where it comes from (ancestors history, childhood) and what the impact is on others.\r\n\r\nThey look for unique ways to express themselves and channel those energies in a healthy way, sometimes in a new, non-traditional way. They ask \"What might be the alternatives here?\"\r\n\r\nThey are compassionate with themselves and others when it comes to expressing masculine energies.\r\n\r\nLike them, this journey of Chiron through <strong>Aries</strong> is not about aggression, but rather assertiveness. For all of us, whatever our starting point, it is also about acknowledging and embracing limitations around anger. We also need an open, compassionate awareness as to whether we are responding or \"reacting\" to our circumstances.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs we develop understanding for our inner \"wounded\" child and our \"human\" limitations (in parallel with the above) we build a space for compassion. In fact, I recommend you celebrate your limitations. Why? Because that means you are compassionately aware of them -- and awareness is always the first step towards healing.\r\n\r\nWalking these paths can continually recreate us as leaders with an holistic approach and a healing, compassionate presence.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWere you born between April 1968 and May 1976? Or Oct. 1976 - March 1977? If the answer is yes, you have Chiron in Aries in your a natal chart and will have a Chiron Return within the next 8-9years.\r\n\r\nIn the next Forum, we\'ll be talking about Chiron moving into <strong>Aries</strong> and Uranus moving into <strong>Taurus</strong> -- major shifts!

This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, since Chiron will move through this sign until April 2027.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Venus/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 9:04am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday evening (April 14th) on; it will remain strong until this Thursday evening.</strong> This aspect brings a fruitful and rewarding period in our lives. We experience new depths of intimacy (with an existing or new partner), we learn to appreciate the important people in our lives, and our value system transforms and evolves.\r\n\r\nThis is likely an excellent period for finances as well. Work we\'ve done might pay off, and we are able to manage our finances better, with more attention to sustainability, planning, and strategy -- as well as the elimination of anything that no longer serves us. We might renew a commitment, or bring new, deeper and more intimate energy into a relationship under the influence of this aspect.\r\n\r\nOur sexual lives might get a real boost now, as we tend to want to connect on a deeper level. We might find ourselves strongly attracted to someone, almost to the point of obsession. If this aspect connects with any of your personal planets, you might just meet the \"love of your life\". <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nOne thing is for sure -- relationships experienced now are bound to be unforgettable. While this transit tends to signal new or strengthened relationships, any relationship that ends during this cycle may leave us feeling liberated. What are you feeling drawn to on a deep instinctual level? What deep desires are surfacing? What values can you no longer compromise on?\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees </i><i>of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> will be most blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Venus being the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday until 6pm EDT,</strong> if you haven\'t set your <em>Intentions</em> yet, this is your last chance to do so during the most potent time! If possible, align them with the New Moon energies that I spoke about in my last video — feel free to watch it again if you are not sure anymore — <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here to watch my video on the New Moon</a>: https://youtu.be/J1ILKRA2_pI<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>;-)\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon/how-to-set-new-moon-intentions/\">For more details on how to set New Moon Intentions, click here</a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 6:05pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for 14 hours, <strong>until 8:02am EDT (Wednesday morning).</strong> Use this intuitive time to<span style=\"color: #993300;\"> </span>take care of anything that has value for you on a physical level.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday evening until Wednesday morning ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 9:47pm EDT, </strong><i>Saturn comes to a halt in 9 degrees of <em><strong>Capricorn</strong></em></i><i> and goes retrograde</i> <b>until September 6th.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span></b>We will get very clear on what we are truly committed to -- or not -- and on how we are living our lives in regards to our physical reality. We will also get clear on what is realistic when it comes to achieving our goals.\r\n\r\nThis is partly because our physical realities may feel like they have come to a complete halt. Take a deep breath whenever you can, as often as you can (especially Monday through Wednesday night of this week).\r\n\r\nSaturn represents our structures, responsibilities, commitments -- and our ability to \"do\" life on life\'s terms. When this planet comes to a halt and turns retrograde, we get to see where we need to create or renew our commitments. As best as you can, take it all in and see where you would like to make adjustments. You will get a chance to do just that for the next 4.5 months.\r\n\r\nFeel free to watch our mp4 video presentation on this month\'s Saturn and Pluto Station and Retrograde phases in relation to our own Birth charts...To purchase this webinar, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">click here.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span></a>\r\n\r\n<b>Remember the Special Offer: </b>If you <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">sign up for our next Forum</a> by the end of this week, you will get the Saturn/Pluto Station and Retrograde webinar (from April 2nd) for FREE -- two for one ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>If you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-10 degrees of</i><b><i> </i></b><b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Aries</i></b><b><i> </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Libra,</i></b><i> you will be more affected by this station and retrograde-phase. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (Saturn being the ruler of Capricorn).</i> <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (April 18th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">steady, peaceful  </span><strong>Taurus</strong></em><strong> </strong>and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a><strong> until 8:02am EDT</strong> (see Monday early morning and Tuesday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 8:02am EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i>,</i> where it will journey <strong>until Friday late morning</strong>. For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way... The one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late morning</strong>, <em>a Sun/Uranus alignment in 28.5 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> becomes exact at 10:00am EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday night (April 14th) on; it will remain strong until this Saturday evening. </strong>This alignment brings confidence and a desire to connect with others through a common cause. We may have sudden insights into our friendships -- and how they connect us to a bigger vision. We know that if we want to move to the next level, we need to strategize with others.\r\n\r\nWe are also asked to connect to the unusual. Our creative core is awakened: We feel compelled to express ourselves in unique (or at least unconventional) ways. Our consciousness expands, we are receptive to new ways of thinking, doing, and living; this increased openness to all that is new and different may bring unexpected opportunities.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned in the <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">New Moon video</a> I posted earlier last week, Uranus symbolizes the desire for freedom, equality, and progress. Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>, aligned with the Sun, asks us to break away from whatever keeps us from stepping up our game. Shifts are happening everywhere. It\'s time to develop some courage and awareness: Where do you want to step up? If you made a big leap, where might you land?\r\n\r\nOne thing to remember: Keeping the heart and mind open could make a big difference to the experience of this alignment.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 25-2 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Cancer, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this alignment.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius) </i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (April 19th)</strong>: <i>the</i> <i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><strong> all day</strong> (see Wednesday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 11:13pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Sun changes signs from adventurous, speedy </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> to peaceful, steady </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until May 20th</strong><b>. </b>For the next four weeks, our attention is on physical pleasures, and we are more aware of our need for comfort and consistency. The Sun in Taurus reminds us to slow down and smell the roses.\r\n\r\nWe are able to be very consistent and methodical, which helps us bring groundedness and reality to our new goals. We focus on what is most important to us. What do you value most? How do you feel about yourself and what you bring to the table?\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Taurus, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo, your vitality will most likely slow down and you might indulge in physical or material pleasures.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (April 20th)</strong>: <i>the</i> <i>Moon remains in chatty, versatile </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><strong> until 10:26am EDT</strong> (see Wednesday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 8:05am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for almost 2.5 hours, <strong>until 10:26am EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday morning ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 10:26am EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into protective, nurturing </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Sunday early afternoon</strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your own glass is full before letting others drink from it; if you don\'t, you might start to feel drained and resentful.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday around 11:16am EDT: i</strong>f you set <i>intentions</i> last Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday, right after the New Moon became exact, <strong>today</strong> will be a <i>great time to take relevant actions</i>. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to you?\r\n\r\nAlso <strong>on Friday</strong>, <i>Mercury resumes its normal pace through the sky <strong>today</strong>, ending its station:</i> Communication and transportation are now back to “normal”, as are any associated gadgets, vehicles, etc. New ideas and information received during the Mercury retrograde phase can now be reviewed -- What could you do with that now?\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (April 21st)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>protective, nurturing </i><strong>Cancer</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Friday late morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday early afternoon, </strong>we are in a state of “flow” and emotional connection to others; spiritual and creative endeavors are favored.\r\n\r\n<em><strong>Saturday early evening:</strong></em> our instincts and need for safety are strongly engaged. We are invited to create a balance between the familiar, and our passion, ambitions, and goals for the future.\r\n\r\n<b>Saturday evening, </b>a nice feeling of ease and an ability to trust and connect deeply with others. As best as you can, trust your intuitive sensing right now, allow whatever comes up to be beneficial for you.\r\n\r\n<b>I</b><b>n the late evening,</b> we may take an all-or-northing attitude toward others; this could drive some tension or oppositional behaviors... As best you can, remain flexible and practice self-care — take good care of your emotional and physical body -- that way, you\'ll remain able to empower yourself and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (April 22nd)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Cancer</strong></em><strong> until 1:09pm EDT</strong> (see Friday late morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 10:58am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon void of course (VoC)</a>. that lasts for a little over 2 hours, <strong>until 1:09pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to make adjustments and (as best as you can) find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations. Make space both for going after your vision and for taking care of emotional or family issues.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday late morning and early afternoon ahead of time :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 11:26am EDT</strong>, <i>Pluto comes to a halt in 21 degrees of </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, starting its 5-month retrograde phase</i> (until Sept. 30th). Pluto\'s energy will continue to move more slowly until May 5th.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs I already mentioned on Monday, when an outer planet stops, its energy gets more pronounced; we become more aware of its impact on us -- and this can sometimes cause discomfort. We are being asked to hang out with that discomfort until the planet\'s energy has picked up speed again (around May 5th).\r\n\r\nDuring the retrograde phase, we will have a chance to connect to anything associated with Pluto from within. Pluto is associated with our soul purpose, as well as the process of empowerment -- our ability to feel empowered from within -- and with our deepest passions. This forced us to see what really motivates us.\r\n\r\n<strong>For the next 5 months,</strong> we need to tap into inner authenticity, embracing the entirety of ourselves — the good, the bad, and the ugly. Paradoxically, this will help us let go of any habits, behaviors or fears that are holding us back from feeling fully empowered from within.\r\n\r\nWe are invited to tap into our passion, strength and Soul\'s purpose from the inside out. This deeper connection will support us in our journey towards authenticity. We can then build long-term goals that are aligned with our Soul\'s purpose. Ask yourself: What do I \"just know\", deep down?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-23 degrees of</i> <b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aries</i></b><i>? If so,<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>you will feel this station/retrograde more strongly.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b> <i>(Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i> <i></i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 1:09pm EDT</strong>, <i>the Moon moves into fun-loving (and attention-loving) </i><b><i>Leo</i></b><i>, </i>where it will journey <strong>until Tuesday late afternoon.</strong><b> </b>We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nIf there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\nThis Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact on Saturday late evening).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early evening, at 5:46pm EDT</strong>, <i>the first Quarter Moon in almost 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Leo </i></b>becomes exact. <b>We started to feel this aspect from the moment the Moon entered Leo <strong> earlier today at 1:09pm EDT</strong>. </b>The Moon in fun and attention-loving <b>Leo </b>makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in steady,<i> </i>peaceful <b>Taurus</b><b>.</b>\r\n\r\nWe feel compelled to take action. The New Moon took place a week ago (April 15th); \"seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making their first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day interactions with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 0-5 degrees of</i><b><i> Leo, Taurus, Aquarius</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>A head\'s up for next Monday (April 23rd)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <i>fun and attention-loving </i><strong>Leo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Sunday early afternoon for details).<i> Also,<b> Monday night/Tuesday very early morning</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, </span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">an opportune Mars/ Saturn aspect</span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> becomes exact </span><b>at 1:13am EDT</b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. </span></i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More about all the details in next week’s forecast ;-)</span>\r\n<h3>One Last Announcement:</h3>\r\nJoin me for my next FORECASTING FORUM, <b>Monday</b>, <b>April 30th, 2018 at </b>12pm<b> </b>PDT/<b> 3pm EDT</b>/8pm BST (London-time).<b> Please note </b><strong>that we will be talking about Chiron in Aries and Uranus in Taurus.

As best as you can, avoid any important meetings, communications and scheduling for the future.

It\'s considered the bridge between the limitations of the physical and the unlimited nature of the non-physical (or spiritual) world. Often referred to as the \"Wounded Healer\", it reminds us of our humanity -- and guides us to see it as a gift.\r\n\r\nWhen we take responsibility for our human limitations and move past seeing them as \"wrong\" or \"bad\", our inner gifts and uniqueness can emerge more completely and powerfully.\r\n\r\nLet\'s look now at Chiron in Aries: The day after Chiron moves into Aries, the Sun conjuncts Uranus in that same sign. This points to the possibility that Chiron\'s journey through Aries will place a strong emphasis on liberation of the self.\r\n\r\nChiron in Aries is all about the wounded warrior, the Healer-Hero that emerges from a Warrior\'s healing journey. The healing path consists of seeing, acknowledging, embracing, and finally loving ourselves just as we are: physically, emotionally  and spiritually -- especially when it comes to our personal goals, leadership and inspirational abilities, our ability to take action, our \"masculine\" drive.\r\n\r\nBroadly speaking, then: our capacity to go after what we desire...\r\n\r\nWe get to see that we all have the ability to heal, and be healed, through our actions. Each of us can step into our inner healer in our own unique way.\r\n\r\nYou can ask yourself: What is the next step on the path of healing for my inner child, my inner wounding? How were my ancestors wounded around \"the masculine\"? What step can I personally take on that healing path?\r\n\r\nChiron in Aries also has us look at some of the following: How we express our anger (or how we do not express it), how we might further heal our relationship to our body (this includes sexuality, gender, etc.) and our personal desires; how we do or do not take initiative, display courage, and practice self-determination.\r\n\r\nAsk: What would a healthy sense of identity, independence, and willpower enable me to do? Might accepting my limitations lead to unique ways to move with those energies? What makes me an individual? What are my unique desires and goals?\r\n\r\nThere is also an emphasis on injuries (especially head injuries), physical flaws, issues around anger and assertion of our anger, impatience, being ok with who we are. All of these issues could feel sensitive and fire off our \"triggers\" or bring up shame.\r\n\r\nOne thing is for sure: Chiron in Aries will show us a new perspective and will open new doors of healing for us -- likely a physically active Healing Journey. To the extent that this transit highlights our leadership abilities, the journey is toward becoming a different kind of leader, a non-traditional one.\r\n\r\nThis question lies at the heart of that journey: How do we channel our masculine energy?\r\n\r\nThis is a very important question, if we are to become a conscious, holistic warrior. Picture the film actors Bruce Lee, Jet Li, or Michelle Yeah -- they are consciously connecting the active physical with the emotional and spiritual -- through martial arts in their case -- you might also picture a great practitioner of Yoga -- we\'re talking here about a conscious, holistic relationship to physical dynamics.\r\n\r\nWhat do we see in great practitioners of these arts?\r\n\r\nAmong other things, they seem to understand that impatience is wanting to move faster than what is required in the now moment.\r\n\r\nThey take responsibility for their triggers around reactivity, impatience, aggression, inconsiderate leadership, etc. and have an understanding for where it comes from (ancestors history, childhood) and what the impact is on others.\r\n\r\nThey look for unique ways to express themselves and channel those energies in a healthy way, sometimes in a new, non-traditional way. They ask \"What might be the alternatives here?\"\r\n\r\nThey are compassionate with themselves and others when it comes to expressing masculine energies.\r\n\r\nLike them, this journey of Chiron through Aries is not about aggression, but rather assertiveness. For all of us, whatever our starting point, it is also about acknowledging and embracing limitations around anger. We also need an open, compassionate awareness as to whether we are responding or \"reacting\" to our circumstances.\r\n\r\nAs we develop understanding for our inner \"wounded\" child and our \"human\" limitations (in parallel with the above) we build a space for compassion. In fact, I recommend you celebrate your limitations. Why? Because that means you are compassionately aware of them -- and awareness is always the first step towards healing.\r\n\r\nWalking these paths can continually recreate us as leaders with an holistic approach and a healing, compassionate presence.\r\n\r\nWere you born between April 1968 and May 1976?

It\'s considered the bridge between the limitations of the physical and the unlimited nature of the non-physical (or spiritual) world. Often referred to as the \"Wounded Healer\", it reminds us of our humanity -- and guides us to see it as a gift.\r\n\r\nWhen we take responsibility for our human limitations and move past seeing them as \"wrong\" or \"bad\", our inner gifts and uniqueness can emerge more completely and powerfully.\r\n\r\n<strong>Let\'s look now at Chiron in Aries:</strong> The day after Chiron moves into <strong>Aries</strong>,...\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\r\n<strong> GET IT ALL!

This points to the possibility that Chiron\'s journey through <strong>Aries</strong> will place a strong emphasis on liberation of the self.\r\n\r\nChiron in <strong>Aries</strong> is all about the wounded warrior, the Healer-Hero that emerges from a Warrior\'s healing journey. The healing path consists of seeing, acknowledging, embracing, and finally loving ourselves just as we are: physically, emotionally  and spiritually -- especially when it comes to our personal goals, leadership and inspirational abilities, our ability to take action, our \"masculine\" drive.\r\n\r\nBroadly speaking, then: our capacity to go after what we desire...\r\n\r\nWe get to see that we all have the ability to heal, and be healed, through our actions. Each of us can step into our inner healer in our own unique way.\r\n\r\n<strong>You can ask yourself:</strong> What is the next step on the path of healing for my inner child, my inner wounding? How were my ancestors wounded around \"the masculine\"? What step can I personally take on that healing path?\r\n\r\nChiron in <strong>Aries</strong> also has us look at some of the following: How we express our anger (or how we do not express it), how we might further heal our relationship to our body (this includes sexuality, gender, etc.) and our personal desires; how we do or do not take initiative, display courage, and practice self-determination.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask:</strong> What would a healthy sense of identity, independence, and willpower enable me to do? Might accepting my limitations lead to unique ways to move with those energies? What makes me an individual? What are my unique desires and goals?\r\n\r\nThere is also an emphasis on injuries (especially head injuries), physical flaws, issues around anger and assertion of our anger, impatience, being ok with who we are. All of these issues could feel sensitive and fire off our \"triggers\" or bring up shame.\r\n\r\nOne thing is for sure: Chiron in Aries will show us a new perspective and will open new doors of healing for us -- likely a physically active Healing Journey. To the extent that this transit highlights our leadership abilities, the journey is toward becoming a different kind of leader, a non-traditional one.\r\n\r\n<strong>This question lies at the heart of that journey:</strong> How do we channel our masculine energy?\r\n\r\nThis is a very important question, if we are to become a conscious, holistic warrior. Picture the film actors Bruce Lee, Jet Li, or Michelle Yeah -- they are consciously connecting the active physical with the emotional and spiritual -- through martial arts in their case -- you might also picture a great practitioner of Yoga -- we\'re talking here about a conscious, holistic relationship to physical dynamics.\r\n\r\nWhat do we see in great practitioners of these arts?\r\n\r\nAmong other things, they seem to understand that impatience is wanting to move faster than what is required in the now moment.\r\n\r\nThey take responsibility for their triggers around reactivity, impatience, aggression, inconsiderate leadership, etc. and have an understanding for where it comes from (ancestors history, childhood) and what the impact is on others.\r\n\r\nThey look for unique ways to express themselves and channel those energies in a healthy way, sometimes in a new, non-traditional way. They ask \"What might be the alternatives here?\"\r\n\r\nThey are compassionate with themselves and others when it comes to expressing masculine energies.\r\n\r\nLike them, <em>this journey of Chiron through <strong>Aries</strong></em> is not about aggression, but rather assertiveness. For all of us, whatever our starting point, it is also about acknowledging and embracing limitations around anger. We also need an open, compassionate awareness as to whether we are responding or \"reacting\" to our circumstances.\r\n\r\nAs we develop understanding for our inner \"wounded\" child and our \"human\" limitations (in parallel with the above) we build a space for compassion. In fact, I recommend you celebrate your limitations. Why? Because that means you are compassionately aware of them -- and awareness is always the first step towards healing.\r\n\r\nWalking these paths can continually recreate us as leaders with an holistic approach and a healing, compassionate presence.\r\n\r\n[/wcm_restrict]\r\n\r\nWere you born between April 1968 and May 1976?

We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)\r\n\r\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are also a big part of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.\r\n\r\nIf there are no children around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the rest of today. Ask yourself: What am I most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, I could  let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<strong>Moon <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> until 10:03pm EDT</strong>: we are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we feel a strong need to have fun and be creative or self-expressed.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, we want to explore deep, authentic -- even intimate -- connections to ourselves or others. Do your best to use this intuitive time to make adjustments, slow things down a little, and find creative solutions that honor both drives.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday late evening and Monday all day ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 10:03pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning</strong>; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact later this evening).\r\n\r\n***\r\n\r\nGET IT ALL!

Last week saw the New Moon, on May 15th. \"Seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day dealings with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 29 degrees of <strong>Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio</strong>, or 0-3 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (May 22nd)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:48pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last Saturday (May 19th) on, it will remain strong until Thursday night. </strong>This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body.\r\n\r\nWe all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?\r\n\r\n<strong>Until Thursday night</strong>, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity?\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 29 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn,</strong> <strong>Cancer,</strong> or 0-4 degrees of <strong>Gemini, Aries, Aquarius </strong>or<strong> Leo</strong>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Pisces (the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late evening</strong>, <em>an opportune Mercury/Neptune aspect</em> becoming exact at 10:13pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Monday night on, it will remain strong until Thursday morning. </strong>This aspect gives us the opportunity to bring compassion and an intuitive approach to our thinking process.\r\n\r\nHaving faith and connecting to our Higher Selves will be of service to us at this time. Any artistic or spiritual endeavors are likely to do well at this time. Music might help us with our thinking process and ability to get things done.\r\n\r\nLet yourself be inspired! A book, a song, a movie, someone else\'s words… allow the Universe to speak to you. Open your mind to a higher vibration -- and remember, opportunities are openings... they aren\'t necessarily handed to us... we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in<em>14-18 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 23rd)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday late evening for details).\r\n\r\nTuesday night/<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Jupiter opposition</em> becomes exact at 1:54am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Monday on, it will remain strong until Thursday evening</strong>; <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">it asks us to find the balance between our own personal values &amp; resources and our authentic, emotional connections &amp; shares resources with others.</span>\r\n\r\nThis could also show up as a need to balance what we <em>think</em> we need to own or have, versus our desire for expansion in our intimate relationships and shared resources with others. Of course, we could conceivably have it both ways:\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">How might a different view/approach of my intimate relationships impact my self-worth? Could I share from a place of loving and honoring myself, perhaps just 5% more than normal?</span> If I stepped way back from the canvas, what \"bigger picture\" would I see?\r\n\r\nWe generally feel quite optimistic at this time, perhaps overly so: The urge to grow and expand is strong, but we can overreach -- perhaps by overlooking critical details and thereby miscalculating. We might be inclined to exaggerate, then have a hard time putting our ideas and goals into practice. That said, we can also be extraordinarily funny and interesting at this time, especially in our one-on-one relationships :-)\r\n\r\nExpect a lot of talking and sharing -- and possibly some over-thinking or impulsive communication. Impatience is likely a side-effect of this aspect as well... As best as you can, take an \"observer\" position toward your mind: listen to your thoughts, catch yourself thinking.\r\n\r\nIn other words: as best as you can, practice listening, to yourself, to others, and to your body. Listening is an art form that makes it easier to tap into our own inner wisdom and our body\'s wisdom.\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 13-20 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </strong>or<strong> Aquarius</strong>?

As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (May 25)</strong>:<em> the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday morning</strong>, <em>a long-lasting, harmonious Jupiter/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:52am EDT (first one of the year). Due to Jupiter\'s and Neptune\'s Station phases, <strong>we start to feel this aspect build from May 4th on, it will remain strong until July 15th. </strong>This brings the potential for deep, spiritual inspiration.\r\n\r\nExtravagance or exaggeration are possible during this time; routine is particularly unsatisfying, we easily detour from the practical path. On the other hand, this is a great time for connecting to music or spiritual endeavors -- and for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\nOur intuition is at an all-time high, as is our ability to explore our traumas and demons; we are also more able to resolve anything that is no longer empowering to us personally -- in particular, we can dissolve the fears that have kept us from deepening our relationships -- and this is also true on a collective level.\r\n\r\nGenerosity, compassion and faith will likely increase; we more readily and easily make personal sacrifices for what we see as the greater good. We have a deeper sense that all of us are part of the human family -- a sense of the unity that is possible between people, nations and all living things on this planet.\r\n\r\nThis can be a chance to increase our creativity, perceptiveness and empathy; it\'s a time to allow for things to unfold and for seeing the perfection in everything that is.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>13-19 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Scorpio, Pisces, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

There will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: Monday all day until 10:03pm EDT; Wednesday late morning (for 16 hours) and Friday afternoon (for 16.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (May 21st)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 10:03pm EDT. </strong>With the Moon in <strong>Leo</strong>, we may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)\r\n\r\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are also a big part of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.\r\n\r\nIf there are no children around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the rest of today. Ask yourself: What am I most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, I could  let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<strong>Moon <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> until 10:03pm EDT</strong>: we are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we feel a strong need to have fun and be creative or self-expressed.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, we want to explore deep, authentic -- even intimate -- connections to ourselves or others. Do your best to use this intuitive time to make adjustments, slow things down a little, and find creative solutions that honor both drives.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday late evening and Monday all day ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 10:03pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning</strong>; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact later this evening).\r\n\r\n***\r\n\r\nGET IT ALL!

Last week saw the New Moon, on May 15th. \"Seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day dealings with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 29 degrees of <strong>Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio</strong>, or 0-3 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (May 22nd)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:48pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last Saturday (May 19th) on, it will remain strong until Thursday night. </strong>This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body.\r\n\r\nWe all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?\r\n\r\n<strong>Until Thursday night</strong>, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity?\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 29 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn,</strong> <strong>Cancer,</strong> or 0-4 degrees of <strong>Gemini, Aries, Aquarius </strong>or<strong> Leo</strong>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Pisces (the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late evening</strong>, <em>an opportune Mercury/Neptune aspect</em> becoming exact at 10:13pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Monday night on, it will remain strong until Thursday morning. </strong>This aspect gives us the opportunity to bring compassion and an intuitive approach to our thinking process.\r\n\r\nHaving faith and connecting to our Higher Selves will be of service to us at this time. Any artistic or spiritual endeavors are likely to do well at this time. Music might help us with our thinking process and ability to get things done.\r\n\r\nLet yourself be inspired! A book, a song, a movie, someone else\'s words… allow the Universe to speak to you. Open your mind to a higher vibration -- and remember, opportunities are openings... they aren\'t necessarily handed to us... we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <em>14-18 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 23rd)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday late evening for details).\r\n\r\nTuesday night/<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Jupiter opposition</em> becomes exact at 1:54am EDT. <strong>We feel this aspect build from Monday; it will remain strong until Thursday evening.</strong>\r\n\r\nIt asks us to balance our personal values and resources against our authentic, emotional connections with others (and any resources we share with them). This could also show up as a need to balance what we <em>think</em> we need to own or have, with our desire for expansion within intimate relationships and shared resources.\r\n\r\nOf course, we could conceivably have it both ways -- here are some questions you can ask yourself, that might help with this: How might taking a different view of my intimate relationships impact my self-worth? Could I share from a place of self-love and self-honoring,  just 5% more than normal? If I stepped way back from the canvas, what \"bigger picture\" would I see?\r\n\r\nWe generally feel quite optimistic at this time, perhaps overly so: The urge to grow and expand is strong, but we can overreach -- perhaps by overlooking critical details and thereby miscalculating. We might be inclined to exaggerate, then have a hard time putting our ideas and goals into practice. That said, we can also be extraordinarily funny and interesting at this time, especially in our one-on-one relationships :-)\r\n\r\nExpect a lot of talking and sharing -- and possibly some over-thinking or impulsive communication. Impatience is likely a side-effect of this aspect as well... As best as you can, take an \"observer\" position toward your mind: listen to your thoughts, catch yourself thinking.\r\n\r\nIn other words: as best as you can, practice listening, to yourself, to others, and to your body. Listening is an art form that makes it easier to tap into our own inner wisdom and our body\'s wisdom.\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 13-20 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </strong>or<strong> Aquarius</strong>?

As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early morning</strong>: we become more aware that we need to find a balance between two very different energies -- on the one hand,  taking a compassionate approach towards our personal goals, while being assertive in the world -- and on the other hand, our need to connect and collaborate with others. Ask yourself: what if taking a compassionate approach towards myself actually made for more fulfilling connections with others? <span style=\"color: #993300;\">(Moon in Libra opposes Chiron in Aries at 5:53am EDT -- post at 4am EDT)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning</strong>: starts out harmoniously, even though we feel an urge to make progress, and connect with others about our vision for the future. <span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">(Moon in Libra trines Mars in Aquarius and Sun in Gemini at 8:48am EDT -- post at 6:50am EDT)</span></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday afternoon</strong>: we feel a need to stay within our safety zone while also connecting and collaborating -- stretch a little, and see if you can find creative ways to connect whilst honoring your need for safety and familiarity.

Due to Jupiter\'s and Neptune\'s Station phases, <strong>we start to feel this aspect build from May 4th on, it will remain strong until July 15th. </strong>This brings the potential for deep, spiritual inspiration.\r\n\r\nExtravagance or exaggeration are possible during this time; routine is particularly unsatisfying, we easily detour from the practical path. On the other hand, this is a great time for connecting to music or spiritual endeavors -- and for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\nOur intuition is at an all-time high, as is our ability to explore our traumas and demons; we are also more able to resolve anything that is no longer empowering to us personally -- in particular, we can dissolve the fears that have kept us from deepening our relationships -- and this is also true on a collective level.\r\n\r\nGenerosity, compassion and faith will likely increase; we more readily and easily make personal sacrifices for what we see as the greater good. We have a deeper sense that all of us are part of the human family -- a sense of the unity that is possible between people, nations and all living things on this planet.\r\n\r\nThis can be a chance to increase our creativity, perceptiveness and empathy; it\'s a time to allow for things to unfold and for seeing the perfection in everything that is.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>13-19 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Scorpio, Pisces, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

We can feel really empowered by what we say (and how we say it) during this time. Our conviction and passion helps us to connect and empower others.\r\n\r\nWe are strongly connected to our inner truth and can analyze and understand our motivations around long-term goals. We investigate our own thought structures in a very realistic, focused way, and look to see what needs to be communicated next.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i> <em>18-24 degrees</em><i> of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments and find creative ways to work with the energies at play: On the one hand, as best as you can, collaborate with others and play nice, on the other hand, be authentic and truthful about what we want to build long-term.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

But what\'s really required is that we slow things down and be as realistic as we can possibly be.\r\n\r\nWe could be withdrawing or holding back a little, as we attempt to figure out what we want and need -- and what we can give. We are working towards ridding ourselves of self-delusion when it comes to partnerships, socializing and finances. In the process, we might feel disdain for inauthentic interactions and resent \"going through the motions\" on a social and/or mental level.\r\n\r\nOur goal here is to make more connections aligned with our own truth. Relationships built on weak foundations may not survive, but stronger ones can be improved and strengthened. Financial matters might be stressful for the time being; this forces us into a position of conservation and moderation. As best as you can, find your inner balance with this -- and on an external level with others.\r\n\r\nThink back to <strong>late Dec., 2017</strong>, when Venus was conjunct Saturn in <strong>Capricorn</strong>. With Venus opposing Saturn now, we can start to see the fruits of the seeds that were planted back then. So: What were the seeds? What are the fruits?\r\n\r\nIn other words: What has emerged since late December, in regards to who and what you value? We are also now more aware of what we have (and haven\'t) learned since then... Do you like what you see? Is there room for more learning, more integration?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>5-11 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 9:39am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until next week, Monday evening</strong> (May 28th). We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s thus an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your very best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 27th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Saturday late morning for details).\r\n\r\nSaturday night/<strong>Sunday very early morning: </strong>for the next several hours, we enjoy familiar company and surroundings -- our home is our castle. (<span style=\"color: #993300;\">Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> trines Venus in <strong>Cancer at 2:55am EDT -- post at 12:55am EDT)</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early morning: </strong>we are invited to<strong> </strong>connect with others on a deep emotional level, and explore new points of views about our ability to make authentic connections. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">(Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> conjuncts Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio at 3:48am EDT -- post at 1:50am EDT)</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late afternoon: </strong>we are likely to experience a sense of ease and flow, but may need to slow down and allow our feelings to come through.

We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)\r\n\r\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are also a big part of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.\r\n\r\nIf there are no children around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the rest of today. Ask yourself: What am I most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, I could  let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<strong>Moon <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> until 10:03pm EDT</strong>: we are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we feel a strong need to have fun and be creative or self-expressed.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, we want to explore deep, authentic -- even intimate -- connections to ourselves or others. Do your best to use this intuitive time to make adjustments, slow things down a little, and find creative solutions that honor both drives.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday late evening and Monday all day ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 10:03pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning</strong>; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome.

We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time.

Last week saw the New Moon, on May 15th. \"Seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day dealings with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 29 degrees of <strong>Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio</strong>, or 0-3 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (May 22nd)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:48pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last Saturday (May 19th) on, it will remain strong until Thursday night. </strong>This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body.\r\n\r\nWe all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?\r\n\r\n<strong>Until Thursday night</strong>, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity?\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 29 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn,</strong> <strong>Cancer,</strong> or 0-4 degrees of <strong>Gemini, Aries, Aquarius </strong>or<strong> Leo</strong>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Pisces (the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late evening</strong>, <em>an opportune Mercury/Neptune aspect</em> becoming exact at 10:13pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Monday night on, it will remain strong until Thursday morning. </strong>This aspect gives us the opportunity to bring compassion and an intuitive approach to our thinking process.\r\n\r\nHaving faith and connecting to our Higher Selves will be of service to us at this time. Any artistic or spiritual endeavors are likely to do well at this time. Music might help us with our thinking process and ability to get things done.\r\n\r\nLet yourself be inspired! A book, a song, a movie, someone else\'s words… allow the Universe to speak to you. Open your mind to a higher vibration -- and remember, opportunities are openings... they aren\'t necessarily handed to us... we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <em>14-18 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 23rd)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday late evening for details).\r\n\r\nTuesday night/<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Jupiter opposition</em> becomes exact at 1:54am EDT. <strong>We feel this aspect build from Monday; it will remain strong until Thursday evening.</strong>\r\n\r\nIt asks us to balance our personal values and resources against our authentic, emotional connections with others (and any resources we share with them). This could also show up as a need to balance what we <em>think</em> we need to own or have, with our desire for expansion within intimate relationships and shared resources.\r\n\r\nOf course, we could conceivably have it both ways -- here are some questions you can ask yourself, that might help with this: How might taking a different view of my intimate relationships impact my self-worth? Could I share from a place of self-love and self-honoring,  just 5% more than normal? If I stepped way back from the canvas, what \"bigger picture\" would I see?\r\n\r\nWe generally feel quite optimistic at this time, perhaps overly so: The urge to grow and expand is strong, but we can overreach -- perhaps by overlooking critical details and thereby miscalculating. We might be inclined to exaggerate, then have a hard time putting our ideas and goals into practice. That said, we can also be extraordinarily funny and interesting at this time, especially in our one-on-one relationships :-)\r\n\r\nExpect a lot of talking and sharing -- and possibly some over-thinking or impulsive communication. Impatience is likely a side-effect of this aspect as well... As best as you can, take an \"observer\" position toward your mind: listen to your thoughts, catch yourself thinking.\r\n\r\nIn other words: as best as you can, practice listening, to yourself, to others, and to your body. Listening is an art form that makes it easier to tap into our own inner wisdom and our body\'s wisdom.\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 13-20 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </strong>or<strong> Aquarius</strong>?

We generally have good mental and physical vitality during this transit.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>0-6 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Gemini, Aquarius, </i></b><i>or <b>Libra</b></i><i>?

As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early morning</strong>: we become more aware that we need to find a balance between two very different energies -- on the one hand,  taking a compassionate approach towards our personal goals, while being assertive in the world -- and on the other hand, our need to connect and collaborate with others. Ask yourself: what if taking a compassionate approach towards myself actually made for more fulfilling connections with others? <span style=\"color: #993300;\">(Moon in Libra opposes Chiron in Aries at 5:53am EDT -- post at 4am EDT)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning</strong>: starts out harmoniously, even though we feel an urge to make progress, and connect with others about our vision for the future. <span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">(Moon in Libra trines Mars in Aquarius and Sun in Gemini at 8:48am EDT -- post at 6:50am EDT)</span></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday afternoon</strong>: we feel a need to stay within our safety zone while also connecting and collaborating -- stretch a little, and see if you can find creative ways to connect whilst honoring your need for safety and familiarity.

Due to Jupiter\'s and Neptune\'s Station phases, <strong>we start to feel this aspect build from May 4th on, it will remain strong until July 15th. </strong>This brings the potential for deep, spiritual inspiration.\r\n\r\nExtravagance or exaggeration are possible during this time; routine is particularly unsatisfying, we easily detour from the practical path. On the other hand, this is a great time for connecting to music or spiritual endeavors -- and for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\nOur intuition is at an all-time high, as is our ability to explore our traumas and demons; we are also more able to resolve anything that is no longer empowering to us personally -- in particular, we can dissolve the fears that have kept us from deepening our relationships -- and this is also true on a collective level.\r\n\r\nGenerosity, compassion and faith will likely increase; we more readily and easily make personal sacrifices for what we see as the greater good. We have a deeper sense that all of us are part of the human family -- a sense of the unity that is possible between people, nations and all living things on this planet.\r\n\r\nThis can be a chance to increase our creativity, perceptiveness and empathy; it\'s a time to allow for things to unfold and for seeing the perfection in everything that is.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>13-19 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Scorpio, Pisces, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

We can feel really empowered by what we say (and how we say it) during this time. Our conviction and passion helps us to connect and empower others.\r\n\r\nWe are strongly connected to our inner truth and can analyze and understand our motivations around long-term goals. We investigate our own thought structures in a very realistic, focused way, and look to see what needs to be communicated next.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i> <em>18-24 degrees</em><i> of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments and find creative ways to work with the energies at play: On the one hand, as best as you can, collaborate with others and play nice, on the other hand, be authentic and truthful about what we want to build long-term.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday late afternoon until Saturday late morning ahead of time. (<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Moon squares Pluto in Capricorn</span>).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (May 26th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 9:39am EDT</strong> (see Thursday very early morning and Friday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday very early morning</strong>,<em> a <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Venus/Saturn opposition</span></em> becomes exact at 2:40am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on, it will remain strong until next Monday evening (May 28th). </strong>This might be a time of relationship tests or trials: we may not be attracting the things and people that we want in our lives -- at least, not as easily as we were before this transit.\r\n\r\nThis can be eye-opening -- a signal to work on improving the \"ways\" (as well as the \"things\") that we bring to partnerships or to our finances. Doubts could be raised now. But what\'s really required is that we slow things down and be as realistic as we can possibly be.\r\n\r\nWe could be withdrawing or holding back a little, as we attempt to figure out what we want and need -- and what we can give. We are working towards ridding ourselves of self-delusion when it comes to partnerships, socializing and finances. In the process, we might feel disdain for inauthentic interactions and resent \"going through the motions\" on a social and/or mental level.\r\n\r\nOur goal here is to make more connections aligned with our own truth. Relationships built on weak foundations may not survive, but stronger ones can be improved and strengthened. Financial matters might be stressful for the time being; this forces us into a position of conservation and moderation. As best as you can, find your inner balance with this -- and on an external level with others.\r\n\r\nThink back to <strong>late Dec., 2017</strong>, when Venus was conjunct Saturn in <strong>Capricorn</strong>. With Venus opposing Saturn now, we can start to see the fruits of the seeds that were planted back then. So: What were the seeds? What are the fruits?\r\n\r\nIn other words: What has emerged since late December, in regards to who and what you value? We are also now more aware of what we have (and haven\'t) learned since then... Do you like what you see? Is there room for more learning, more integration?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>5-11 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 9:39am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until next week, Monday evening</strong> (May 28th). We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s thus an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your very best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 27th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Saturday late morning for details).\r\n\r\nSaturday night/<strong>Sunday very early morning: </strong>for the next several hours, we enjoy familiar company and surroundings -- our home is our castle. (<span style=\"color: #993300;\">Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> trines Venus in <strong>Cancer at 2:55am EDT -- post at 12:55am EDT)</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early morning: </strong>we are invited to<strong> </strong>connect with others on a deep emotional level, and explore new points of views about our ability to make authentic connections. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">(Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> conjuncts Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio at 3:48am EDT -- post at 1:50am EDT)</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late afternoon: </strong>we are likely to experience a sense of ease and flow, but may need to slow down and allow our feelings to come through.

As long as we don\'t get bored, we will stick around -- but as soon as we disengage mentally, we begin to thirst for interesting conversations with new people, in new places and/or situations. Love is playful and lighthearted for the next 3.5 weeks and humor plays a part in all our relationships.\r\n\r\nOur finances might fluctuate at this time, as we don\'t invest in anything for long enough to know whether it would have actually made a profit. That said, this sign-change actually favors financial transactions that benefit from rapidity, or from widely dispersed resources -- it\'s a great time for short-term investments.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, stay open-minded and flexible toward love and finances. Curiosity towards life and love is a great gift as Venus moves through Gemini -- you never know where things will go at this time — and if nothing else, that attitude makes it hard to be bored for even a second ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>?

You may also want to plan Tuesday afternoon ahead of time.<span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 4:40pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Thursday evening</strong>; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<b> </b><b>\r\n</b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday evening,</strong> <em>an opportune Venus/Chiron aspect becomes exact</em> at 8:41pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Sunday night (April 22nd) on; it will be strong until Thursday (April 26th). </strong>It\'s an opportunity to bring healing to our wounds around relationships or our sense of self-worth.\r\n\r\nWe get a chance to love ourselves and heal deep fears of not being \"good enough\". Healing happens much faster when we can open to forgiving ourselves and others. As best as you can, bring compassion and understanding to yourself, to others, and to those past experiences that wounded you.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>28-2 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Gemini, Aries, Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>?

What came up in the last two weeks around any commitments to build something long-term? How about the need to be more realistic? How truthful are you with yourself about \"where you\'re at\"? The retrograde phase is a good time to do some internal work in these areas (the retrograde ends on Sept. 6th).\r\n\r\nWe now have 4.5 months to go over recently built business structures, to see if they are aligned with our inner truth. We are also now ready to contemplate solutions for whatever was \"in our face\" from April 9th until now -- solutions that work well both with our inner truth and our outer reality.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (April 25th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday early evening,</strong> <em>a challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:28pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday late morning (April 20th) on; it will remain strong until Saturday evening (April 28th). </strong>Due to the Mercury Retrograde phase that just ended recently, we get to experience this aspect several times; this is the third and last pass within the last 6.5 weeks. This gives us a chance to address our approach toward any misunderstandings.\r\n\r\nThis aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature. Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce. <strong>Ask yourself</strong>: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to your passions, while remaining committed to exploring them one step at a time. What is my life calling me to explore?

You may also want to plan Thursday all day and evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning,</strong> <em>a Mars/Pluto alignment in 21 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> becomes exact at 7:00am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday morning (April 19th) on, it will remain strong until Tuesday evening (May 1st). </strong>This alignment connects our personal will to the Universal Will. If we feel the need to connect to something, we will feel it passionately, especially when it comes to our long-term goals and our public image.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe may feel impatient (or even obsessive) right now about our career goals. Suppressed desires surface; we will need to take actions on them, one way or another. If you are able to connect -- body and soul -- to that passion, you will be able to move towards a much higher goal. This may be a goal that is truly connected to the whole of you, perhaps even to your Soul Purpose for this lifetime.\r\n\r\nMars last aligned with Pluto in mid-October, 2016; unresolved issues from that period can now move to the next level. What were you up to back then? What does the next level look like for those ventures? What is a simple step you could take to move them there?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in <em>18-24 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this aspect more strongly than otherwise. </i><i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Mars\'s movements and aspects; Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio, so they likewise feel Pluto\'s movements and aspects more strongly)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 9:13pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday very early morning. </strong>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating -- and although these next two days are a great time for mediation, our need for peace (and aversion to direct conflict) could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might prefer.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe may also be able to see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (April 27th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday very early morning,</strong><i> </i>we are asked to connect with others, socialize, and share information with them\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning: </strong>we are invited to make some internal adjustments. We may want to relax, slow down and enjoy life through our senses -- but we may also feel drawn to collaboration with others. Might there be a way to honor yourself while still adjusting to other peoples wishes?<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday early afternoon: </strong>we feel a need for even-handed collaboration... and for focusing on our long-term accomplishments and standing in society. As best as you can, find a creative way through this!<em> </em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late afternoon: </strong>we may need to balance wanting harmony with others, against wanting to be direct and to share ourselves without apologies.<span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><em><strong> </strong></em></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (April 28th):</strong> t<em>he Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> ( See Thursday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday late morning,</strong><em> </em>we may need to make some adjustments and find creative ways to work with the energies at play: On the one hand, we need to collaborate with others and play nice, on the other hand, we feel a deep desire to be authentic and truthful about what we want to build long-term.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday early afternoon: </strong>On the one hand, we need harmony and peace in interactions with others; on the other, we feel the need to give our long-term goals 100%. We may need to make some adjustments between these two needs that are seemingly at odds.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday night/</strong>Sunday very early morning<strong> at 1:32am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for almost 2 hours, <strong>until 3:11am EDT</strong> (Sunday early morning). Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday very early morning ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (April 29th)</strong><strong> at 3:11am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Tuesday late morning</strong>. We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s thus an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your very best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the Full Moon (exact later this evening)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning,</strong> <em>a harmonious Sun/Saturn alignment</em> becomes exact at 6:04am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday night (April 25th) on; it will be strong until next week, Wednesday (May 2nd). </strong>Commitment and discipline are the keys to understanding our heart\'s desire right now. We face life on life\'s terms and feel up to doing so (especially when it comes to our creative self-expression).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What could I achieve if I bought 5% more joy to my long-term plans?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nParadoxically, we can also bring a more mature approach to exploring our \"inner child\" energy. How might a supportive \"inner parent\" help your \"inner child\" feel safe to play?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>6-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? Or your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)? If either of those is true, you can expect to be more blessed by this aspect :-)</i>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned earlier, the entrance of the <i>Moon into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b> started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon;</i> this will be exact today <b>(Sunday</b><b>, April 29th) at 8:58pm EDT  </b><i>in 9.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>.\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon shows us what we must release if we are to manifest anything that began soon after the last New Moon (i.e. after April 15th).\r\n\r\nFor the next two weeks, we seek the balance and integration of two polarities -- and are more aware<b> </b>of something that needs to be brought into alignment. The balance in question is between our physical attachments/connections -- symbolized by <b>Taurus</b> -- and our emotional attachments/connections (<b>Scorpio</b>).\r\n\r\nThe time of any Full Moon is always more extroverted and emotional; this particular one invites us to let go of fears, and thereby break through to the next level of our evolution.\r\n\r\nSo, here\'s this Full Moon\'s central question: What do we really want? As a society, as people, as individuals... To learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, please click here to watch my video\r\n\r\nAll right, let\'s look at the signs involved in this polarity, beginning with <b>Taurus:</b>\r\n\r\nTaurus seeks comfort and material stability. It\'s concerned with our relationship to the planet, and with the physical plane in general -- and with a hugely important part of our relationship with ourselves, namely \"self-esteem\".\r\n\r\nOf course, <b>Taurus</b> also has a shadow side: attachment to material things, especially when using them to make up for low self-esteem, seeking to feel better about ourselves through indulging in physical pleasures -- and immovability -- wanting to keep things the same, usually so we don\'t experience physical discomfort.\r\n\r\n<b>Scorpio</b>, on the other hand, craves transformation — and it seeks this in part by putting us in touch with our deepest desires and worst fears, bringing it into conscious awareness, so that we can see and release what no longer serves, or has become stale or toxic. Put another way: it helps us move from a \"survival mentality\" to a passionate engagement with life.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> Where in my life do I observe a \"survival mentality\"? In what ways have I protected myself from feelings of hurt or disempowerment?\r\n\r\nIt’s essential to bring conscious awareness to the walls we have built to feel protected and more “empowered”. Addressing past traumas and any sense of disempowerment is the only way to allow for the return of trust toward others (and life in general). By acknowledging our fears and breaking down those walls, we can transform into truly powerful beings of love and inner strength.\r\n\r\nWhat is <b>Scorpio\'s</b> shadow? Attachment to emotional connections (even if they are toxic) , avoidance of emotional pain, armoring and protecting ourselves from incidents of disempowerment that no longer exist outside of memory, trust issues, black-and-white thinking, addiction to drama and darkness (or substances)... and anything we want to prevent. Scorpio\'s shadow sees us coming from an instinctual, self-protective place, rather than from intuitive, love-based spaciousness.\r\n\r\n<b>Scorpio</b> wants to go beyond the surface, to our deeper motivations. For the next two weeks, <b>ask yourself:</b> Where do my intentions and efforts seem to get undermined? What propels my sense of attraction or repulsion? What turns me on about life? What scares me?\r\n\r\nSome <b>more questions:</b> What is coming to the surface? Could I simply allow it to? Could I temporarily suspend the need to judge it, \"understand\" it, get rid of it?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon Nodes in </i><b><i>Aquarius/Leo</i></b><i> are in a close Square to the Full Moon</i>. This creates a fixed  Grand Cross and therefore some tension -- it usually indicates a need for releasing old karmic patterns, on a collective and individual level.\r\n\r\nIf you find yourself becoming reactive within the next two weeks, <b>ask yourself:</b> Are these triggers in my relationships \"old\" or familiar? If I were completely honest with myself right now, might I find I was blowing things out of proportion a little bit? What if I took things 5% less personally, just as a brief experiment? Could I acknowledge how I feel that particular situation/feeling is part of my identity -- how it feels like it is about me or who I am? And just for right now, and just as best as I can, could I let go of that sense that \"it\'s personal\"?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon and Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> make a trine to Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>. This is a favorable aspect that supports our ability to release and heal old traumas while connecting us to our feminine energies in a supportive way; we see from new perspectives and are more able to deal with the darker side of things, through humor and a renewed approach.\r\n\r\nAllowing our fears to surface and bringing compassion and kindness to our feeling-body is a little easier for the next two weeks. <b>Ask yourself:</b> Just for today (or even just for right now), could I let go of \"survival mode\"? If I lowered my protective barriers by 5% and started to trust 5% more, what might shift in regards to intimacy with others? With myself? With life itself?\r\n\r\nHere is another exercise that you can try (I\'ve mentioned this in a previous video, but I think it\'s worth exploring again):\r\n\r\nImagine yourself in survival mode: What imagery comes to mind? Get quiet, and allow yourself to visualize your inner predator/protector. What does it look like? Could you have compassion and understanding towards that inner predator/protector?\r\n\r\nNow imagine yourself being passionately engaged with life, powerfully connected to your heart and your loving strength: What imagery comes to mind now? What does your Higher Self look like? Could you choose to embrace that divine nature fully, in this now moment?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars,</i> the traditional ruler of Scorpio,<i> </i><i>is currently in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> and aligns with Pluto </i>(the modern ruler of <b>Scorpio</b>).\r\n\r\nWe are therefore asked to look at our lives and our long-term plans. We seek empowerment from within, rather than the exertion of \"power\" over others. We are invited to act from \"the power of love\" vs. \"the love of power\" -- and remember that healthy \"self-love\" is also a form of… love! :)\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> How emotionally authentic am I being in my actions? Do I feel passionate about what I am building long-term? Am I consistently empowering <i>myself and</i> others? How am I doing at letting go of behaviors and impulses that arise from past trauma or a sense of threat?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars</i> supports us in taking actions that transform what no longer serves, and in building healthy foundations for those long-term goals. <b>Ask yourself: </b>What feels most satisfying to me personally? What are my priorities? What is my bottom line? What is the simplest next action that leads to manifesting all of that long-term? Are my actions motivated by <b>love</b> (wanting to thrive, to live full-out) or <b>fear</b> (wanting merely to protect myself and merely survive)?\r\n\r\n<i>Chiron moved into </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> just recently, and therefore the position of <i>Mars</i> is also connected to the \"Wounded Healer\".\r\n\r\nOne of my hopes for the membership site was that it would free me up to make more special content for my members, and I\'m delighted to say that this is already happening. I just completed a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/chiron-in-aries-until-2027/\">special article on \"Chiron in Aries\"</a> that is only available to site Members, so please do check that out, if you haven\'t seen it yet ;-)\r\n\r\nOf course, my <i>Star</i> and <i>SuperStar Members</i> will also be automatically be invited to join the next Forecasting Forum, which will delve into Chiron\'s move into Aries in detail, looking at how it impacts our birth charts -- these membership levels can take part in the live webinar, and they also receive an emailed recording of the event (eligible members, please look out for those emails in your inbox -- you may want to flag them if they\'re going into your junk mail).\r\n\r\nIf you are a <i>Universal Member</i>, you can join us by registering <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">right here</a>... or you can also upgrade to <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\"><i>Star Membership</i></a> and join us for FREE, every month :-)\r\n\r\nAgain, we apply what happens every month to our own birth charts; in addition to Chiron’s journey through <strong>Aries</strong> until 2027, we\'ll also be looking at Uranus\'s upcoming journey through <strong>Taurus</strong>. Both of these transits promise major shifts ahead!\r\n\r\nThere\'s something else I\'d like to mention in connection with this Full Moon: <i>Saturn forms a Trine to the Sun in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> and a Sextile to the Moon in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>.</i><i> </i>\r\n\r\nThis makes it easier for us to recognize what we value most, and how to manifest it long-term in the real world -- partly by helping us stay focused on our priorities -- it is, in fact, a very favorable combination for manifesting things.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>Could focusing on my long-term goals actually help me balance physical and material priorities with any deeply emotional partnerships I may have with others? What if I brought a sense of responsibility to the table? What would being present right now do for my long-term goals?\r\n\r\nLastly, let\'s talk about <i>Venus,</i> the ruler of Taurus; she<i> </i><i>is currently in </i><b><i>Gemini.</i></b>\r\n\r\nThis has us seeking out mental stimulation: sharing, teaching, learning, writing, reading, etc…. We want to connect, learn, and share as much as possible... Note that Gemini is also connected to the media.\r\n\r\n<i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> squares Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> and makes a somewhat challenging aspect to the Mars/Pluto alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i><i> </i>\r\n\r\n<i>Venus squares Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>: </i><i>This </i>brings up the challenge of connecting the unconditional heart with the rational mind —  and challenges around introversion vs. extroversion, slow vs. fast, intuition vs. \"learning\". Not only that, with this combo, we may not always know if something is \"fact or fiction\".\r\n\r\nWe are being asked to stretch ourselves in order to resolve a tension between what our mind tells us we want, versus our need to tap into our intuitive sensing and feel our way through something. As best as you can, do not believe everything you hear -- whether externally (from others) or internally (from your own conditioned mind ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What might I hear if I listened to intuition before I share something? What if I listened to intuition while reading or watching something? What thoughts would I then share? What if I were 5% more appreciative and kind with myself and others -- especially when thoughts are being shared or processed?\r\n\r\n<b>Bonus questions:</b> What if learning was not a straight line? What if it was circular? Or like a  never-ending spiral?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus makes a somewhat challenging aspect to the Mars/Pluto alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn: </i></b><i>This</i> creates a tension and a challenge: we are called to make an effort, work hard, and learn. <b>Ask yourself: </b>Where do my words need more integrity? Might mental flexibility actually support my determination? If I made 5% more effort to choose the best words, what would that mean for my relationships? Is there anything I might not be fully allowing myself to acknowledge? What would I prefer stayed hidden to myself?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum  it all up:</b> This Full Moon reminds us that life and death are entwined, that every new beginning is an ending for something else, and vice versa. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What fears and traumas need to be investigated and made conscious, so I can be more in touch with my own worthiness, and better see my own value? What behaviors and habits need to come to an end and make way for me to create more abundance?\r\n\r\nLong-standing patterns demand to be addressed right now! The good news is that we have the persistence to do just that, and thereby step into a more fully empowered self-experience... As best as you can, therefore, release what you have outgrown, and focus where you <i>actually</i> have influence, rather than forcing things and struggling to change what you have no control over.\r\n\r\nSome <b>final questions</b>: What if there was a completely new approach to achieving “powerful leadership” in the world? What would such leadership bring about? What would long-term commitments based on trust, love and a genuine desire for a deeper, more authentic connection bring to life?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 7-12 degrees of</i><b><i> Taurus,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s Full Moon.

As long as we don\'t get bored, we will stick around -- but as soon as we disengage mentally, we begin to thirst for interesting conversations with new people, in new places and/or situations. Love is playful and lighthearted for the next 3.5 weeks and humor plays a part in all our relationships.\r\n\r\nOur finances might fluctuate at this time, as we don\'t invest in anything for long enough to know whether it would have actually made a profit. That said, this sign-change actually favors financial transactions that benefit from speed, or wide dispersal of resources -- it\'s a great time for short-term investments.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, stay open-minded and flexible toward love and finances.

Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce. <strong>Ask yourself</strong>: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term?

Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday very early morning ahead of time. <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (April 29th)</strong><strong> at 3:11am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Tuesday late morning</strong>. We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s therefore an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can therefore be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so as best you can, be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> This Moon placement also starts the build up towards the Full Moon (exact later this evening)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning,</strong> <em>a harmonious Sun/Saturn alignment</em> becomes exact at 6:04am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday night (April 23rd) on; it will be strong until next week, Wednesday (May 2nd). </strong>Commitment and discipline are the keys to understanding our heart\'s desire right now. We face life on life\'s terms and feel up to doing so (especially when it comes to our creative self-expression).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What could I achieve if I brought 5% more joy to my long-term plans?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nParadoxically, we can also bring a more mature approach to exploring our \"inner child\" energy.

As long as we don\'t get bored, we will stick around -- but as soon as we disengage mentally, we begin to thirst for interesting conversations with new people, in new places and/or situations. Love is playful and lighthearted for the next 3.5 weeks and humor plays a part in all our relationships.\r\n\r\nOur finances might fluctuate at this time, as we don\'t invest in anything for long enough to know whether it would have actually made a profit. That said, this sign-change actually favors financial transactions that benefit from speed, or wide dispersal of resources -- it\'s a great time for short-term investments.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, stay open-minded and flexible toward love and finances.

Healing happens much faster when we can open to forgiving ourselves and others. As best as you can, bring compassion and understanding to yourself, to others, and to those past experiences that wounded you.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>28-2 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Gemini, Aries, Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>?

Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce. <strong>Ask yourself</strong>: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to your passions, while remaining committed to exploring them one step at a time.

You may also want to plan Sunday very early morning ahead of time. <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (April 29th)</strong><strong> at 3:11am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Tuesday late morning</strong>. We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s therefore an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can therefore be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so as best you can, be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> This Moon placement also starts the build up towards the Full Moon (exact later this evening)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning,</strong> <em>a harmonious Sun/Saturn alignment</em> becomes exact at 6:04am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday night (April 23rd) on; it will be strong until next week, Wednesday (May 2nd). </strong>Commitment and discipline are the keys to understanding our heart\'s desire right now. We face life on life\'s terms and feel up to doing so (especially when it comes to our creative self-expression).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What could I achieve if I brought 5% more joy to my long-term plans?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nParadoxically, we can also bring a more mature approach to exploring our \"inner child\" energy. How might a supportive \"inner parent\" help your \"inner child\" feel safe to play?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>6-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? Or your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)? If either of those is true, you can expect to be more blessed by this aspect :-)</i>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned earlier, the entrance of the <i>Moon into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b> started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon;</i> this will be exact today <b>(Sunday</b><b>, April 29th) at 8:58pm EDT  </b><i>in 9.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>.\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon shows us what we must release,  if we are to manifest what was started at the time of the New Moon that occurred  shortly after April 15th.\r\n\r\nFor the next two weeks, we seek the balance and integration of two polarities -- and are more aware<b> </b>of something that needs to be brought into alignment. The balance in question is between our physical attachments/connections -- symbolized by <b>Taurus</b> -- and our emotional attachments/connections (<b>Scorpio</b>).\r\n\r\nThe time of any Full Moon is always more extroverted and emotional; this particular one invites us to let go of fears, and thereby break through to the next level of our evolution.\r\n\r\nSo, here\'s this Full Moon\'s central question: What do we really want? As a society, as people, as individuals... To learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, please click here to watch my video\r\n\r\nAll right, let\'s look at the signs involved in this polarity, beginning with <b>Taurus:</b>\r\n\r\nTaurus seeks comfort and material stability. It\'s concerned with our relationship to the planet, and with the physical plane in general -- and with a hugely important part of our relationship with ourselves, namely \"self-esteem\".\r\n\r\nOf course, <b>Taurus</b> also has a shadow side: attachment to material things, especially when using them to make up for low self-esteem, seeking to feel better about ourselves through indulging in physical pleasures -- and immovability -- wanting to keep things the same, usually so we don\'t experience physical discomfort.\r\n\r\n<b>Scorpio</b>, on the other hand, craves transformation — and it seeks this in part by putting us in touch with our deepest desires and worst fears, bringing it into conscious awareness, so that we can see and release what no longer serves, or has become stale or toxic. Put another way: it helps us move from a \"survival mentality\" to a passionate engagement with life.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> Where in my life do I observe a \"survival mentality\"? In what ways am I protecting myself from feeling hurt or disempowered?\r\n\r\nIt’s essential to bring conscious awareness to the walls we have built to feel protected and more “empowered”. Addressing past traumas and any sense of disempowerment is the only way to allow for the return of trust toward others (and life in general). By acknowledging our fears and breaking down those walls, we can transform into truly powerful beings of love and inner strength.\r\n\r\nWhat is <b>Scorpio\'s</b> shadow? Attachment to emotional connections (even if they are toxic) , avoidance of emotional pain, armoring and protecting ourselves from incidents of disempowerment that no longer exist outside of memory, trust issues, black-and-white thinking, addiction to drama and darkness (or substances)... and anything we want to prevent. Scorpio\'s shadow sees us coming from an instinctual, self-protective place, rather than from intuitive, love-based spaciousness.\r\n\r\n<b>Scorpio</b> wants to go beyond the surface, to our deeper motivations. For the next two weeks, <b>ask yourself:</b> Where do my intentions and efforts seem to get undermined? What propels my sense of attraction or repulsion? What turns me on about life? What scares me?\r\n\r\nSome <b>more questions:</b> What is coming to the surface? Could I simply allow it to? Could I temporarily suspend the need to judge it, \"understand\" it, get rid of it?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon Nodes in </i><b><i>Aquarius/Leo</i></b><i> are in a close Square to the Full Moon</i>. This creates a fixed  Grand Cross and therefore some tension -- it usually indicates a need for releasing old karmic patterns, on a collective and individual level.\r\n\r\nIf you find yourself becoming reactive within the next two weeks, <b>ask yourself:</b> Are these triggers in my relationships \"old\" or familiar? If I were completely honest with myself right now, might I find I was blowing things out of proportion a little bit? What if I took things 5% less personally, just as a brief experiment? Could I acknowledge how I feel that particular situation/feeling is part of my identity -- how it feels like it is about me or who I am? And just for right now, and just as best as I can, could I let go of that sense that \"it\'s personal\"?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon and Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> make a trine to Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>. This is a favorable aspect that supports our ability to release and heal old traumas, while connecting us to our feminine energies in a supportive way; we see from new perspectives and are more able to deal with the darker side of things, through humor and a renewed approach.\r\n\r\nAllowing our fears to surface and bringing compassion and kindness to our feeling-body is a little easier for the next two weeks. <b>Ask yourself:</b> Just for today (or even just for right now), could I let go of \"survival mode\"? If I lowered my protective barriers by 5%, and started to trust 5% more, what might shift in regards to intimacy with others? With myself? With life itself?\r\n\r\nHere is another exercise that you can try (I\'ve mentioned this in a previous video, but I think it\'s worth exploring again):\r\n\r\nImagine yourself in survival mode: What imagery comes to mind? Get quiet, and allow yourself to visualize your inner predator/protector. What does it look like? Could you have compassion and understanding towards that inner predator/protector?\r\n\r\nNow imagine yourself being passionately engaged with life, powerfully connected to your heart and your loving strength: What imagery comes to mind now? What does your Higher Self look like? Could you choose to embrace that divine nature fully, in this now moment?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars,</i> the traditional ruler of Scorpio,<i> </i><i>is currently in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, and aligns with Pluto </i>(the modern ruler of <b>Scorpio</b>).\r\n\r\nWe are therefore asked to look at our lives and our long-term plans. We seek empowerment from within, rather than exertion of \"power\" over others. We are  invited to act from \"the power of love\" vs. \"the love of power\" -- and remember that healthy \"self-love\" is also a form of… love! :)\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> How emotionally authentic am I being in my actions? Do I feel passionate about what I am building long-term? Am I consistently empowering <i>myself and</i> others? How am I doing at letting go of behaviors and impulses that arise from past trauma or a sense of threat?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars</i> supports us in taking actions that transform what no longer serves, and in building healthy foundations for those long-term goals. <b>Ask yourself: </b>What feels most satisfying to me personally? What are my priorities? What is my bottom line? What is the simplest next action that leads to manifesting all of that long-term? Are my actions motivated by <b>love</b> (wanting to thrive/to live full-out) or <b>fear</b> (wanting to survive/protect myself)?\r\n\r\n<i>Chiron moved into </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> just recently, and therefore the position of <i>Mars</i> is also connected to the \"Wounded Healer\". One of my hopes for the membership site was that it would free me up to make more special content for my members, and I\'m delighted to say that this is already happening. I just completed a special article on \"Chiron in Aries\" that is only available to site Members, so please do check that out, if you haven\'t seen it yet ;-)\r\n\r\nOf course, my <i>Star</i> and <i>SuperStar Members</i> will also be automatically be invited to join the next Forecasting Forum, which will delve into Chiron\'s move into Aries in detail, looking at how it impacts our birth charts -- these membership levels can take part in the live webinar, and they also receive an emailed recording of the event (eligible members, please look out for those emails in your inbox -- you may want to flag them if they\'re going into your junk mail).\r\n\r\nIf you are a <i>Universal Member</i>, you can join us by registering on my website via the Home page... or you can also upgrade to <i>Star Membership</i> and join us for FREE, every month :-)\r\n\r\nAgain, we apply what happens every month to our own birth charts; in addition to Chiron’s journey through Aries until 2027, we\'ll also be looking at Uranus\'s upcoming journey through Taurus. Both of these transits promise major shifts ahead!\r\n\r\nThere\'s something else I\'d like to mention in connection with this Full Moon: <i>Saturn forms a Trine to the Sun in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> and a Sextile to the Moon in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>.</i><i> </i>\r\n\r\nThis makes it easier for us to recognize what we value most, and how to manifest it long-term in the real world -- partly by helping us stay focused on our priorities -- it is in fact a very favorable combination for manifesting things.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>Could focusing on my long-term goals actually help me balance my physical priorities with my deep emotional connections with others? What if I brought a sense of responsibility to the table? What would being present right now do for my long-term goals?\r\n\r\nLastly, let\'s talk about <i>Venus,</i> the ruler of Taurus; she<i> </i><i>is currently in </i><b><i>Gemini.</i></b>\r\n\r\nThis has us seeking out mental stimulation: sharing, teaching, learning, writing, reading, etc…. We want to connect, learn, and share as much as possible... Note that Gemini is also connected to the media.\r\n\r\n<i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> squares Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> and makes a somewhat challenging aspect to the Mars/Pluto alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i><i> </i>\r\n\r\n<i>Venus squares Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>: </i><i>This </i>brings up the challenge between connecting the unconditional heart with the rational mind —  and between introverted vs. extroverted, slow vs. fast, intuition vs. \"learning\". Not only that, with this combo, we may not always know if something is \"fact or fiction\".\r\n\r\nWe are being asked to stretch ourselves in order to resolve a tension between what our mind tells us we want, versus our need to tap into our intuitive sensing and feel our way through something. As best as you can, do not believe everything you hear -- whether externally (from others) or internally (from your own conditioned mind ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What might I hear if I listened to intuition before I share something? What if I listened to intuition while reading or watching something? What thoughts would I then share? What if I were 5% more appreciative and kind with myself and others -- especially when thoughts are being shared or processed?\r\n\r\n<b>Bonus questions:</b> What if learning was not a straight line? What if it was circular? Or like a  never-ending spiral?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus makes a somewhat challenging aspect to the Mars/Pluto alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn: </i></b><i>This</i> creates a tension and a challenge: we are called to make an effort, work hard, and learn. <b>Ask yourself: </b>Where do my words need more integrity? Might mental flexibility actually support my determination? If I made 5% more effort to choose the best words, what would that mean for my relationships? Is there anything I might not be fully allowing myself to acknowledge? What would I prefer stayed hidden to myself?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum  it all up:</b> This Full Moon reminds us that life and death are entwined, that every new beginning is an ending for something else, and vice versa. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What fears and traumas need to be investigated and made conscious, so I can be more in touch with my own worthiness, and better see my own value? What behaviors and habits need to come to an end and make way for me to create more abundance?\r\n\r\nLong-standing patterns demand to be addressed right now! The good news is that we have the persistence to do just that, and thereby step into a more fully empowered self-experience... As best as you can therefore, release what you have outgrown, and focus where you <i>actually</i> have influence, rather than forcing things and struggling to change what you have no control over.\r\n\r\nSome <b>final questions</b>: What would a completely new approach to achieving “powerful leadership” in the world bring about? What would long-term commitments based on trust, love and a genuine desire for a deeper, more authentic connection bring to life?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 7-12 degrees of</i><b><i> Taurus,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>?

Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce. <strong>Ask yourself</strong>: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term?

Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s therefore an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can therefore be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so as best you can, be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> This Moon placement also starts the build up towards the Full Moon (exact later this evening)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning,</strong> <em>a harmonious Sun/Saturn alignment</em> becomes exact at 6:04am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday night (April 23rd) on; it will be strong until next week, Wednesday (May 2nd). </strong>Commitment and discipline are the keys to understanding our heart\'s desire right now. We face life on life\'s terms and feel up to doing so (especially when it comes to our creative self-expression).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What could I achieve if I brought 5% more joy to my long-term plans?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nParadoxically, we can also bring a more mature approach to exploring our \"inner child\" energy. How might a supportive \"inner parent\" help your \"inner child\" feel safe to play?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>6-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? Or your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)? If either of those is true, you can expect to be more blessed by this aspect :-)</i>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned earlier, the entrance of the <i>Moon into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b> started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon;</i> this will be exact today <b>(Sunday</b><b>, April 29th) at 8:58pm EDT  </b><i>in 9.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>.\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon shows us what we must release,  if we are to manifest what was started at the time of the New Moon that occurred  shortly after April 15th.\r\n\r\nFor the next two weeks, we seek the balance and integration of two polarities -- and are more aware<b> </b>of something that needs to be brought into alignment. The balance in question is between our physical attachments/connections -- symbolized by <b>Taurus</b> -- and our emotional attachments/connections (<b>Scorpio</b>).\r\n\r\nThe time of any Full Moon is always more extroverted and emotional; this particular one invites us to let go of fears, and thereby break through to the next level of our evolution.\r\n\r\nSo, here\'s this Full Moon\'s central question: What do we really want? As a society, as people, as individuals... To learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, please click here to watch my video\r\n\r\nAll right, let\'s look at the signs involved in this polarity, beginning with <b>Taurus:</b>\r\n\r\nTaurus seeks comfort and material stability. It\'s concerned with our relationship to the planet, and with the physical plane in general -- and with a hugely important part of our relationship with ourselves, namely \"self-esteem\".\r\n\r\nOf course, <b>Taurus</b> also has a shadow side: attachment to material things, especially when using them to make up for low self-esteem, seeking to feel better about ourselves through indulging in physical pleasures -- and immovability -- wanting to keep things the same, usually so we don\'t experience physical discomfort.\r\n\r\n<b>Scorpio</b>, on the other hand, craves transformation — and it seeks this in part by putting us in touch with our deepest desires and worst fears, bringing it into conscious awareness, so that we can see and release what no longer serves, or has become stale or toxic. Put another way: it helps us move from a \"survival mentality\" to a passionate engagement with life.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Where in my life do I observe a \"survival mentality\"? In what ways am I protecting myself from feeling hurt or disempowered?</span>\r\n\r\nIt’s essential to bring conscious awareness to the walls we have built to feel protected and more “empowered”. Addressing past traumas and any sense of disempowerment is the only way to allow for the return of trust toward others (and life in general). By acknowledging our fears and breaking down those walls, we can transform into truly powerful beings of love and inner strength.\r\n\r\nWhat is <b>Scorpio\'s</b> shadow? Attachment to emotional connections (even if they are toxic) , avoidance of emotional pain, armoring and protecting ourselves from incidents of disempowerment that no longer exist outside of memory, trust issues, black-and-white thinking, addiction to drama and darkness (or substances)... and anything we want to prevent. Scorpio\'s shadow sees us coming from an instinctual, self-protective place, rather than from intuitive, love-based spaciousness.\r\n\r\n<b>Scorpio</b> wants to go beyond the surface, to our deeper motivations. For the next two weeks, <b>ask yourself:</b> Where do my intentions and efforts seem to get undermined? What propels my sense of attraction or repulsion? What turns me on about life? What scares me?\r\n\r\nSome <b>more questions:</b> What is coming to the surface? Could I simply allow it to? Could I temporarily suspend the need to judge it, \"understand\" it, get rid of it?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon Nodes in </i><b><i>Aquarius/Leo</i></b><i> are in a close Square to the Full Moon</i>. This creates a fixed  Grand Cross and therefore some tension -- it usually indicates a need for releasing old karmic patterns, on a collective and individual level.\r\n\r\nIf you find yourself becoming reactive within the next two weeks, <b>ask yourself:</b> Are these triggers in my relationships \"old\" or familiar? If I were completely honest with myself right now, might I find I was blowing things out of proportion a little bit? What if I took things 5% less personally, just as a brief experiment? Could I acknowledge how I feel that particular situation/feeling is part of my identity -- how it feels like it is about me or who I am? And just for right now, and just as best as I can, could I let go of that sense that \"it\'s personal\"?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon and Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> make a trine to Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>. This is a favorable aspect that supports our ability to release and heal old traumas, while connecting us to our feminine energies in a supportive way; we see from new perspectives and are more able to deal with the darker side of things, through humor and a renewed approach.\r\n\r\nAllowing our fears to surface and bringing compassion and kindness to our feeling-body is a little easier for the next two weeks. <b>Ask yourself:</b> Just for today (or even just for right now), could I let go of \"survival mode\"? If I lowered my protective barriers by 5%, and started to trust 5% more, what might shift in regards to intimacy with others? With myself? With life itself?\r\n\r\nHere is another exercise that you can try (I\'ve mentioned this in a previous video, but I think it\'s worth exploring again):\r\n\r\nImagine yourself in survival mode: What imagery comes to mind? Get quiet, and allow yourself to visualize your inner predator/protector. What does it look like? Could you have compassion and understanding towards that inner predator/protector?\r\n\r\nNow imagine yourself being passionately engaged with life, powerfully connected to your heart and your loving strength: What imagery comes to mind now? What does your Higher Self look like? Could you choose to embrace that divine nature fully, in this now moment?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars,</i> the traditional ruler of Scorpio,<i> </i><i>is currently in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, and aligns with Pluto </i>(the modern ruler of <b>Scorpio</b>).\r\n\r\nWe are therefore asked to look at our lives and our long-term plans. We seek empowerment from within, rather than exertion of \"power\" over others. We are  invited to act from \"the power of love\" vs. \"the love of power\" -- and remember that healthy \"self-love\" is also a form of… love! :)\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> How emotionally authentic am I being in my actions? Do I feel passionate about what I am building long-term? Am I consistently empowering <i>myself and</i> others? How am I doing at letting go of behaviors and impulses that arise from past trauma or a sense of threat?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars</i> supports us in taking actions that transform what no longer serves, and in building healthy foundations for those long-term goals. <b>Ask yourself: </b>What feels most satisfying to me personally? What are my priorities? What is my bottom line? What is the simplest next action that leads to manifesting all of that long-term? <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Are my actions motivated by <b>love</b> (wanting to thrive/to live full-out) or <b>fear</b> (wanting to survive/protect myself)?</span>\r\n\r\n<i>Chiron moved into </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> just recently, and therefore the position of <i>Mars</i> is also connected to the \"Wounded Healer\". One of my hopes for the membership site was that it would free me up to make more special content for my members, and I\'m delighted to say that this is already happening. I just completed a special article on \"Chiron in Aries\" that is only available to site Members, so please do check that out, if you haven\'t seen it yet ;-)\r\n\r\nOf course, my <i>Star</i> and <i>SuperStar Members</i> will also be automatically be invited to join the next Forecasting Forum, which will delve into Chiron\'s move into Aries in detail, looking at how it impacts our birth charts -- these membership levels can take part in the live webinar, and they also receive an emailed recording of the event (eligible members, please look out for those emails in your inbox -- you may want to flag them if they\'re going into your junk mail).\r\n\r\nIf you are a <i>Universal Member</i>, you can join us by registering on my website via the Home page... or you can also upgrade to <i>Star Membership</i> and join us for FREE, every month :-)\r\n\r\nAgain, we apply what happens every month to our own birth charts; in addition to Chiron’s journey through Aries until 2027, we\'ll also be looking at Uranus\'s upcoming journey through Taurus. Both of these transits promise major shifts ahead!\r\n\r\nThere\'s something else I\'d like to mention in connection with this Full Moon: <i>Saturn forms a Trine to the Sun in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> and a Sextile to the Moon in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>.</i><i> </i>\r\n\r\nThis makes it easier for us to recognize what we value most, and how to manifest it long-term in the real world -- partly by helping us stay focused on our priorities -- it is in fact a very favorable combination for manifesting things.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>Could focusing on my long-term goals actually help me balance <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">any physical/material priorities I have</span> with my deep emotional <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">partnerships</span> with others? What if I brought a sense of responsibility to the table? What would being present right now do for my long-term goals?\r\n\r\nLastly, let\'s talk about <i>Venus,</i> the ruler of Taurus; she<i> </i><i>is currently in </i><b><i>Gemini.</i></b>\r\n\r\nThis has us seeking out mental stimulation: sharing, teaching, learning, writing, reading, etc…. We want to connect, learn, and share as much as possible... Note that Gemini is also connected to the media.\r\n\r\n<i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> squares Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> and makes a somewhat challenging aspect to the Mars/Pluto alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i><i> </i>\r\n\r\n<i>Venus squares Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>: </i><i>This </i>brings up the challenge between connecting the unconditional heart with the rational mind —  and between introverted vs. extroverted, slow vs. fast, intuition vs. \"learning\". Not only that, with this combo, we may not always know if something is \"fact or fiction\".\r\n\r\nWe are being asked to stretch ourselves in order to resolve a tension between what our mind tells us we want, versus our need to tap into our intuitive sensing and feel our way through something. As best as you can, do not believe everything you hear -- whether externally (from others) or internally (from your own conditioned mind ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What might I hear if I listened to intuition before I share something? What if I listened to intuition while reading or watching something? What thoughts would I then share? What if I were 5% more appreciative and kind with myself and others -- especially when thoughts are being shared or processed?\r\n\r\n<b>Bonus questions:</b> What if learning was not a straight line? What if it was circular? Or like a  never-ending spiral?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus makes a somewhat challenging aspect to the Mars/Pluto alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn: </i></b><i>This</i> creates a tension and a challenge: we are called to make an effort, work hard, and learn. <b>Ask yourself: </b>Where do my words need more integrity? Might mental flexibility actually support my determination? If I made 5% more effort to choose the best words, what would that mean for my relationships? Is there anything I might not be fully allowing myself to acknowledge? What would I prefer stayed hidden to myself?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum  it all up:</b> This Full Moon reminds us that life and death are entwined, that every new beginning is an ending for something else, and vice versa. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What fears and traumas need to be investigated and made conscious, so I can be more in touch with my own worthiness, and better see my own value? What behaviors and habits need to come to an end and make way for me to create more abundance?\r\n\r\nLong-standing patterns demand to be addressed right now! The good news is that we have the <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">persistence</span> to do just that, and thereby step into a more fully empowered self-experience... As best as you can therefore, release what you have outgrown, and focus where you <i>actually</i> have influence, rather than forcing things and struggling to change what you have no control over.\r\n\r\nSome <b>final questions</b>: What would a completely new approach to achieving <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">“powerful leadership”</span> in the world bring about? What would long-term commitments based on trust, love and a genuine desire for a deeper, more authentic connection bring to life?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 7-12 degrees of</i><b><i> Taurus,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s Full Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>A head’s up for next Monday (April 30th):</strong> t<em>he Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </em><strong><em>Scorpio</em> all day</strong> (see Sunday early morning for details).

As long as we don\'t get bored, we will stick around -- but as soon as we disengage mentally, we begin to thirst for interesting conversations with new people, in new places and/or situations. Love is playful and lighthearted for the next 3.5 weeks and humor plays a part in all our relationships.\r\n\r\nOur finances might fluctuate at this time, as we don\'t invest in anything for long enough to know whether it would have actually made a profit. That said, this sign-change actually favors financial transactions that benefit from speed, or wide dispersal of resources -- it\'s a great time for short-term investments.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, stay open-minded and flexible toward love and finances. Curiosity towards life and love is a great gift as Venus moves through Gemini -- you never know where things will go at this time — and if nothing else, that attitude makes it hard to be bored for even a second ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel more chatty for the next 3.5 weeks. Your heart will want to connect to friends and have several activities going all at once.

You may also want to plan Tuesday afternoon ahead of time.<span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"> (Moon trines Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 4:40pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Thursday evening</strong>; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<b> </b><b>\r\n</b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday evening,</strong> <em>an opportune Venus/Chiron aspect becomes exact</em> at 8:41pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Sunday night (April 22nd) on; it will be strong until Thursday (April 26th). </strong>It\'s an opportunity to bring healing to our wounds around relationships or our sense of self-worth.\r\n\r\nWe get a chance to love ourselves and heal deep fears of not being \"good enough\". Healing happens much faster when we can open to forgiving ourselves and others. As best as you can, bring compassion and understanding to yourself, to others, and to those past experiences that wounded you.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>28-2 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Gemini, Aries, Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.

We are also now ready to contemplate solutions for whatever was \"in our face\" from April 9th until now -- solutions that work well both with our inner truth and our outer reality.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (April 25th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday early evening,</strong> <em>a challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:28pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday late morning (April 20th) on; it will remain strong until Saturday evening (April 28th). </strong>Due to the Mercury Retrograde phase that just need recently, we get to experience this aspect several times; this is the third and last pass within the last 6.5 weeks. This gives us a chance to address our approach toward any misunderstandings.\r\n\r\nThis aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature. Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce. <strong>Ask yourself</strong>: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to your passions, while remaining committed to exploring them one step at a time. What is my life calling me to explore? Could I go for it (one step at a time)?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>6-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn,<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

You may also want to plan Thursday all day and evening ahead of time. <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon trines Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning,</strong> <em>a Mars/Pluto alignment in 21 degress of <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> becomes exact at 7:00am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday morning (April 19th) on, it will remain strong until Tuesday evening (May 1st). </strong>This alignment connects our personal will to the Universal Will. If we feel the need to connect to something, we will feel it passionately, especially when it comes to our long-term goals and our public image.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe may feel impatient (or even obsessive) right now about our career goals. Suppressed desires surface; we will need to take actions on them, one way or another. If you are able to connect -- body and soul -- to that passion, you will be able to move towards a much higher goal. This may be a goal that is truthfully connected to the whole of you, perhaps even to your Soul Purpose for this lifetime.\r\n\r\nMars last aligned with Pluto in mid Oct. of 2016; unresolved issues from that period can now move to the next level. What were you up to back then? <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">How can you move things to the next level now?</span>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in <em>18-24 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this aspect more strongly than otherwise. </i><i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Mars\'s movements and aspects; Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio, so they likewise feel Pluto\'s movements and aspects more strongly)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 9:13pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday very early morning. </strong>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (April 27th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday very early morning,</strong><i> </i>we are asked to connect with others, socialize, and share information with them <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><i>(Moon in </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Libra</strong><i> trines Venus in </i></span><strong><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><em>Gemin</em>i at 2:48am EDT -- post at 12:45am EDT)</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning, </strong>we are invited to make some internal adjustments. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">We may want to relax, slow down and enjoy life with our 5 senses, but we may also need to collaborate with others.

Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday very early morning ahead of time. <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (April 29th)</strong><strong> at 3:11am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Tuesday late morning</strong>. We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s therefore an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can therefore be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so as best you can, be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> This Moon placement also starts the build up towards the Full Moon (exact later this evening)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning,</strong> <em>a harmonious Sun/Saturn alignment</em> becomes exact at 6:04am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday night (April 23rd) on; it will be strong until next week, Wednesday (May 2nd). </strong>Commitment and discipline are the keys to understanding our heart\'s desire right now. We face life on life\'s terms and feel up to doing so (especially when it comes to our creative self-expression).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What could I achieve if I brought 5% more joy to my long-term plans?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nParadoxically, we can also bring a more mature approach to exploring our \"inner child\" energy. How might a supportive \"inner parent\" help your \"inner child\" feel safe to play?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>6-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? Or your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)? If either of those is true, you can expect to be more blessed by this aspect :-)</i>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned earlier, the entrance of the <i>Moon into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b> started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon;</i> this will be exact today <b>(Sunday</b><b>, April 29th) at 8:58pm EDT  </b><i>in 9.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>.\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon shows us what we must release,  if we are to manifest what was started at the time of the New Moon that occurred  shortly after April 15th.\r\n\r\nFor the next two weeks, we seek the balance and integration of two polarities -- and are more aware<b> </b>of something that needs to be brought into alignment. The balance in question is between our physical attachments/connections -- symbolized by <b>Taurus</b> -- and our emotional attachments/connections (<b>Scorpio</b>).\r\n\r\nThe time of any Full Moon is always more extroverted and emotional; this particular one invites us to let go of fears, and thereby break through to the next level of our evolution.\r\n\r\nSo, here\'s this Full Moon\'s central question: What do we really want? As a society, as people, as individuals... To learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, please click here to watch my video\r\n\r\nAll right, let\'s look at the signs involved in this polarity, beginning with <b>Taurus:</b>\r\n\r\nTaurus seeks comfort and material stability. It\'s concerned with our relationship to the planet, and with the physical plane in general -- and with a hugely important part of our relationship with ourselves, namely \"self-esteem\".\r\n\r\nOf course, <b>Taurus</b> also has a shadow side: attachment to material things, especially when using them to make up for low self-esteem, seeking to feel better about ourselves through indulging in physical pleasures -- and immovability -- wanting to keep things the same, usually so we don\'t experience physical discomfort.\r\n\r\n<b>Scorpio</b>, on the other hand, craves transformation — and it seeks this in part by putting us in touch with our deepest desires and worst fears, bringing it into conscious awareness, so that we can see and release what no longer serves, or has become stale or toxic. Put another way: it helps us move from a \"survival mentality\" to a passionate engagement with life.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Where in my life do I observe a \"survival mentality\"? In what ways am I protecting myself from feeling hurt or disempowered?</span>\r\n\r\nIt’s essential to bring conscious awareness to the walls we have built to feel protected and more “empowered”. Addressing past traumas and any sense of disempowerment is the only way to allow for the return of trust toward others (and life in general). By acknowledging our fears and breaking down those walls, we can transform into truly powerful beings of love and inner strength.\r\n\r\nWhat is <b>Scorpio\'s</b> shadow? Attachment to emotional connections (even if they are toxic) , avoidance of emotional pain, armoring and protecting ourselves from incidents of disempowerment that no longer exist outside of memory, trust issues, black-and-white thinking, addiction to drama and darkness (or substances)... and anything we want to prevent. Scorpio\'s shadow sees us coming from an instinctual, self-protective place, rather than from intuitive, love-based spaciousness.\r\n\r\n<b>Scorpio</b> wants to go beyond the surface, to our deeper motivations. For the next two weeks, <b>ask yourself:</b> Where do my intentions and efforts seem to get undermined? What propels my sense of attraction or repulsion? What turns me on about life? What scares me?\r\n\r\nSome <b>more questions:</b> What is coming to the surface? Could I simply allow it to? Could I temporarily suspend the need to judge it, \"understand\" it, get rid of it?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon Nodes in </i><b><i>Aquarius/Leo</i></b><i> are in a close Square to the Full Moon</i>. This creates a fixed  Grand Cross and therefore some tension -- it usually indicates a need for releasing old karmic patterns, on a collective and individual level.\r\n\r\nIf you find yourself becoming reactive within the next two weeks, <b>ask yourself:</b> Are these triggers in my relationships \"old\" or familiar? If I were completely honest with myself right now, might I find I was blowing things out of proportion a little bit? What if I took things 5% less personally, just as a brief experiment? Could I acknowledge how I feel that particular situation/feeling is part of my identity -- how it feels like it is about me or who I am? And just for right now, and just as best as I can, could I let go of that sense that \"it\'s personal\"?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon and Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> make a trine to Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>. This is a favorable aspect that supports our ability to release and heal old traumas, while connecting us to our feminine energies in a supportive way; we see from new perspectives and are more able to deal with the darker side of things, through humor and a renewed approach.\r\n\r\nAllowing our fears to surface and bringing compassion and kindness to our feeling-body is a little easier for the next two weeks. <b>Ask yourself:</b> Just for today (or even just for right now), could I let go of \"survival mode\"? If I lowered my protective barriers by 5%, and started to trust 5% more, what might shift in regards to intimacy with others? With myself? With life itself?\r\n\r\nHere is another exercise that you can try (I\'ve mentioned this in a previous video, but I think it\'s worth exploring again):\r\n\r\nImagine yourself in survival mode: What imagery comes to mind? Get quiet, and allow yourself to visualize your inner predator/protector. What does it look like? Could you have compassion and understanding towards that inner predator/protector?\r\n\r\nNow imagine yourself being passionately engaged with life, powerfully connected to your heart and your loving strength: What imagery comes to mind now? What does your Higher Self look like? Could you choose to embrace that divine nature fully, in this now moment?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars,</i> the traditional ruler of Scorpio,<i> </i><i>is currently in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, and aligns with Pluto </i>(the modern ruler of <b>Scorpio</b>).\r\n\r\nWe are therefore asked to look at our lives and our long-term plans. We seek empowerment from within, rather than exertion of \"power\" over others. We are  invited to act from \"the power of love\" vs. \"the love of power\" -- and remember that healthy \"self-love\" is also a form of… love! :)\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> How emotionally authentic am I being in my actions? Do I feel passionate about what I am building long-term? Am I consistently empowering <i>myself and</i> others? How am I doing at letting go of behaviors and impulses that arise from past trauma or a sense of threat?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars</i> supports us in taking actions that transform what no longer serves, and in building healthy foundations for those long-term goals. <b>Ask yourself: </b>What feels most satisfying to me personally? What are my priorities? What is my bottom line? What is the simplest next action that leads to manifesting all of that long-term? <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Are my actions motivated by <b>love</b> (wanting to thrive/to live full-out) or <b>fear</b> (wanting to survive/protect myself)?</span>\r\n\r\n<i>Chiron moved into </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> just recently, and therefore the position of <i>Mars</i> is also connected to the \"Wounded Healer\". One of my hopes for the membership site was that it would free me up to make more special content for my members, and I\'m delighted to say that this is already happening. I just completed a special article on \"Chiron in Aries\" that is only available to site Members, so please do check that out, if you haven\'t seen it yet ;-)\r\n\r\nOf course, my <i>Star</i> and <i>SuperStar Members</i> will also be automatically be invited to join the next Forecasting Forum, which will delve into Chiron\'s move into Aries in detail, looking at how it impacts our birth charts -- these membership levels can take part in the live webinar, and they also receive an emailed recording of the event (eligible members, please look out for those emails in your inbox -- you may want to flag them if they\'re going into your junk mail).\r\n\r\nIf you are a <i>Universal Member</i>, you can join us by registering on my website via the Home page... or you can also upgrade to <i>Star Membership</i> and join us for FREE, every month :-)\r\n\r\nAgain, we apply what happens every month to our own birth charts; in addition to Chiron’s journey through Aries until 2027, we\'ll also be looking at Uranus\'s upcoming journey through Taurus. Both of these transits promise major shifts ahead!\r\n\r\nThere\'s something else I\'d like to mention in connection with this Full Moon: <i>Saturn forms a Trine to the Sun in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> and a Sextile to the Moon in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>.</i><i> </i>\r\n\r\nThis makes it easier for us to recognize what we value most, and how to manifest it long-term in the real world -- partly by helping us stay focused on our priorities -- it is in fact a very favorable combination for manifesting things.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>Could focusing on my long-term goals actually help me balance <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">any physical/material priorities I have</span> with my deep emotional <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">partnerships</span> with others? What if I brought a sense of responsibility to the table? What would being present right now do for my long-term goals?\r\n\r\nLastly, let\'s talk about <i>Venus,</i> the ruler of Taurus; she<i> </i><i>is currently in </i><b><i>Gemini.</i></b>\r\n\r\nThis has us seeking out mental stimulation: sharing, teaching, learning, writing, reading, etc…. We want to connect, learn, and share as much as possible... Note that Gemini is also connected to the media.\r\n\r\n<i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> squares Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> and makes a somewhat challenging aspect to the Mars/Pluto alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i><i> </i>\r\n\r\n<i>Venus squares Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>: </i><i>This </i>brings up the challenge between connecting the unconditional heart with the rational mind —  and between introverted vs. extroverted, slow vs. fast, intuition vs. \"learning\". Not only that, with this combo, we may not always know if something is \"fact or fiction\".\r\n\r\nWe are being asked to stretch ourselves in order to resolve a tension between what our mind tells us we want, versus our need to tap into our intuitive sensing and feel our way through something. As best as you can, do not believe everything you hear -- whether externally (from others) or internally (from your own conditioned mind ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What might I hear if I listened to intuition before I share something? What if I listened to intuition while reading or watching something? What thoughts would I then share? What if I were 5% more appreciative and kind with myself and others -- especially when thoughts are being shared or processed?\r\n\r\n<b>Bonus questions:</b> What if learning was not a straight line? What if it was circular? Or like a  never-ending spiral?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus makes a somewhat challenging aspect to the Mars/Pluto alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn: </i></b><i>This</i> creates a tension and a challenge: we are called to make an effort, work hard, and learn. <b>Ask yourself: </b>Where do my words need more integrity? Might mental flexibility actually support my determination? If I made 5% more effort to choose the best words, what would that mean for my relationships? Is there anything I might not be fully allowing myself to acknowledge? What would I prefer stayed hidden to myself?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum  it all up:</b> This Full Moon reminds us that life and death are entwined, that every new beginning is an ending for something else, and vice versa. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What fears and traumas need to be investigated and made conscious, so I can be more in touch with my own worthiness, and better see my own value? What behaviors and habits need to come to an end and make way for me to create more abundance?\r\n\r\nLong-standing patterns demand to be addressed right now! The good news is that we have the <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">persistence</span> to do just that, and thereby step into a more fully empowered self-experience... As best as you can therefore, release what you have outgrown, and focus where you <i>actually</i> have influence, rather than forcing things and struggling to change what you have no control over.\r\n\r\nSome <b>final questions</b>: What would a completely new approach to achieving <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">“powerful leadership”</span> in the world bring about? What would long-term commitments based on trust, love and a genuine desire for a deeper, more authentic connection bring to life?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 7-12 degrees of</i><b><i> Taurus,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>?

We are more likely to connect with others in an active and fun way.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe feel stronger, more assertive, and more straightforward -- and this goes over well with others. As with all opportunities in life, this one is not simply handed to us, we have to make something of it. What actions could you take right now, that would help create a deeper connection to others?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in <em>18-22 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Scorpio, </i></b><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (April 24th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em><strong> until 4:40pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 12:40pm EDT,</strong> <i>Venus changes signs from steady, calm, sensual</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>to chatty, social, versatile</i> <b><i>Gemini.</i></b> Venus, the energy of love, “relating\" and finances will journey through Gemini <strong>until May 19th.</strong> For the next 3.5 weeks, we value mental stimulation and frequent changes of scenery in our love relationships.\r\n\r\nWe love connecting and sharing ourselves with others. As long as we don\'t get bored, we will stick around -- but as soon as we disengage mentally, we begin to thirst for interesting conversations with new people, in new places and/or situations. Love is playful and lighthearted for the next 3.5 weeks and humor plays a part in all our relationships.\r\n\r\nOur finances might fluctuate at this time, as we don\'t invest in anything for long enough to know whether it would have actually made a profit. That said, this sign-change actually favors financial transactions that benefit from speed, or wide dispersal of resources -- it\'s a great time for short-term investments.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, stay open-minded and flexible toward love and finances. Curiosity towards life and love is a great gift as Venus moves through Gemini -- you never know where things will go at this time — and if nothing else, that attitude makes it hard to be bored for even a second ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel more chatty for the next 3.5 weeks. Your heart will want to connect to friends and have several activities going all at once.

You may also want to plan Tuesday afternoon ahead of time.<span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"> (Moon trines Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 4:40pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Thursday evening</strong>; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<b> </b><b>\r\n</b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday evening,</strong> <em>an opportune Venus/Chiron aspect becomes exact</em> at 8:41pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Sunday night (April 22nd) on; it will be strong until Thursday (April 26th). </strong>It\'s an opportunity to bring healing to our wounds around relationships or our sense of self-worth.\r\n\r\nWe get a chance to love ourselves and heal deep fears of not being \"good enough\". Healing happens much faster when we can open to forgiving ourselves and others. As best as you can, bring compassion and understanding to yourself, to others, and to those past experiences that wounded you.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>28-2 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Gemini, Aries, Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>?

We are also now ready to contemplate solutions for whatever was \"in our face\" from April 9th until now -- solutions that work well both with our inner truth and our outer reality.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (April 25th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday early evening,</strong> <em>a challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:28pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday late morning (April 20th) on; it will remain strong until Saturday evening (April 28th). </strong>Due to the Mercury Retrograde phase that just need recently, we get to experience this aspect several times; this is the third and last pass within the last 6.5 weeks. This gives us a chance to address our approach toward any misunderstandings.\r\n\r\nThis aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature. Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce. <strong>Ask yourself</strong>: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to your passions, while remaining committed to exploring them one step at a time. What is my life calling me to explore?

You may also want to plan Sunday very early morning ahead of time. <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (April 29th)</strong><strong> at 3:11am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Tuesday late morning</strong>. We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s therefore an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can therefore be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so as best you can, be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> This Moon placement also starts the build up towards the Full Moon (exact later this evening)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning,</strong> <em>a harmonious Sun/Saturn alignment</em> becomes exact at 6:04am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday night (April 23rd) on; it will be strong until next week, Wednesday (May 2nd). </strong>Commitment and discipline are the keys to understanding our heart\'s desire right now. We face life on life\'s terms and feel up to doing so (especially when it comes to our creative self-expression).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What could I achieve if I brought 5% more joy to my long-term plans?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nParadoxically, we can also bring a more mature approach to exploring our \"inner child\" energy. How might a supportive \"inner parent\" help your \"inner child\" feel safe to play?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>6-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? Or your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)? If either of those is true, you can expect to be more blessed by this aspect :-)</i>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned earlier, the entrance of the <i>Moon into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b> started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon;</i> this will be exact today <b>(Sunday</b><b>, April 29th) at 8:58pm EDT  </b><i>in 9.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>.\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon shows us what we must release,  if we are to manifest what was started at the time of the New Moon that occurred  shortly after April 15th.\r\n\r\nFor the next two weeks, we seek the balance and integration of two polarities -- and are more aware<b> </b>of something that needs to be brought into alignment. The balance in question is between our physical attachments/connections -- symbolized by <b>Taurus</b> -- and our emotional attachments/connections (<b>Scorpio</b>).\r\n\r\nThe time of any Full Moon is always more extroverted and emotional; this particular one invites us to let go of fears, and thereby break through to the next level of our evolution.\r\n\r\nSo, here\'s this Full Moon\'s central question: What do we really want? As a society, as people, as individuals... To learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, please click here to watch my video\r\n\r\nAll right, let\'s look at the signs involved in this polarity, beginning with <b>Taurus:</b>\r\n\r\nTaurus seeks comfort and material stability. It\'s concerned with our relationship to the planet, and with the physical plane in general -- and with a hugely important part of our relationship with ourselves, namely \"self-esteem\".\r\n\r\nOf course, <b>Taurus</b> also has a shadow side: attachment to material things, especially when using them to make up for low self-esteem, seeking to feel better about ourselves through indulging in physical pleasures -- and immovability -- wanting to keep things the same, usually so we don\'t experience physical discomfort.\r\n\r\n<b>Scorpio</b>, on the other hand, craves transformation — and it seeks this in part by putting us in touch with our deepest desires and worst fears, bringing it into conscious awareness, so that we can see and release what no longer serves, or has become stale or toxic. Put another way: it helps us move from a \"survival mentality\" to a passionate engagement with life.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Where in my life do I observe a \"survival mentality\"? In what ways am I protecting myself from feeling hurt or disempowered?</span>\r\n\r\nIt’s essential to bring conscious awareness to the walls we have built to feel protected and more “empowered”. Addressing past traumas and any sense of disempowerment is the only way to allow for the return of trust toward others (and life in general). By acknowledging our fears and breaking down those walls, we can transform into truly powerful beings of love and inner strength.\r\n\r\nWhat is <b>Scorpio\'s</b> shadow? Attachment to emotional connections (even if they are toxic) , avoidance of emotional pain, armoring and protecting ourselves from incidents of disempowerment that no longer exist outside of memory, trust issues, black-and-white thinking, addiction to drama and darkness (or substances)... and anything we want to prevent. Scorpio\'s shadow sees us coming from an instinctual, self-protective place, rather than from intuitive, love-based spaciousness.\r\n\r\n<b>Scorpio</b> wants to go beyond the surface, to our deeper motivations. For the next two weeks, <b>ask yourself:</b> Where do my intentions and efforts seem to get undermined? What propels my sense of attraction or repulsion? What turns me on about life? What scares me?\r\n\r\nSome <b>more questions:</b> What is coming to the surface? Could I simply allow it to? Could I temporarily suspend the need to judge it, \"understand\" it, get rid of it?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon Nodes in </i><b><i>Aquarius/Leo</i></b><i> are in a close Square to the Full Moon</i>. This creates a fixed  Grand Cross and therefore some tension -- it usually indicates a need for releasing old karmic patterns, on a collective and individual level.\r\n\r\nIf you find yourself becoming reactive within the next two weeks, <b>ask yourself:</b> Are these triggers in my relationships \"old\" or familiar? If I were completely honest with myself right now, might I find I was blowing things out of proportion a little bit? What if I took things 5% less personally, just as a brief experiment? Could I acknowledge how I feel that particular situation/feeling is part of my identity -- how it feels like it is about me or who I am? And just for right now, and just as best as I can, could I let go of that sense that \"it\'s personal\"?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon and Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> make a trine to Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>. This is a favorable aspect that supports our ability to release and heal old traumas, while connecting us to our feminine energies in a supportive way; we see from new perspectives and are more able to deal with the darker side of things, through humor and a renewed approach.\r\n\r\nAllowing our fears to surface and bringing compassion and kindness to our feeling-body is a little easier for the next two weeks. <b>Ask yourself:</b> Just for today (or even just for right now), could I let go of \"survival mode\"? If I lowered my protective barriers by 5%, and started to trust 5% more, what might shift in regards to intimacy with others? With myself? With life itself?\r\n\r\nHere is another exercise that you can try (I\'ve mentioned this in a previous video, but I think it\'s worth exploring again):\r\n\r\nImagine yourself in survival mode: What imagery comes to mind? Get quiet, and allow yourself to visualize your inner predator/protector. What does it look like? Could you have compassion and understanding towards that inner predator/protector?\r\n\r\nNow imagine yourself being passionately engaged with life, powerfully connected to your heart and your loving strength: What imagery comes to mind now? What does your Higher Self look like? Could you choose to embrace that divine nature fully, in this now moment?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars,</i> the traditional ruler of Scorpio,<i> </i><i>is currently in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, and aligns with Pluto </i>(the modern ruler of <b>Scorpio</b>).\r\n\r\nWe are therefore asked to look at our lives and our long-term plans. We seek empowerment from within, rather than exertion of \"power\" over others. We are  invited to act from \"the power of love\" vs. \"the love of power\" -- and remember that healthy \"self-love\" is also a form of… love! :)\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> How emotionally authentic am I being in my actions? Do I feel passionate about what I am building long-term? Am I consistently empowering <i>myself and</i> others? How am I doing at letting go of behaviors and impulses that arise from past trauma or a sense of threat?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars</i> supports us in taking actions that transform what no longer serves, and in building healthy foundations for those long-term goals. <b>Ask yourself: </b>What feels most satisfying to me personally? What are my priorities? What is my bottom line? What is the simplest next action that leads to manifesting all of that long-term? <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Are my actions motivated by <b>love</b> (wanting to thrive/to live full-out) or <b>fear</b> (wanting to survive/protect myself)?</span>\r\n\r\n<i>Chiron moved into </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> just recently, and therefore the position of <i>Mars</i> is also connected to the \"Wounded Healer\". One of my hopes for the membership site was that it would free me up to make more special content for my members, and I\'m delighted to say that this is already happening. I just completed a special article on \"Chiron in Aries\" that is only available to site Members, so please do check that out, if you haven\'t seen it yet ;-)\r\n\r\nOf course, my <i>Star</i> and <i>SuperStar Members</i> will also be automatically be invited to join the next Forecasting Forum, which will delve into Chiron\'s move into Aries in detail, looking at how it impacts our birth charts -- these membership levels can take part in the live webinar, and they also receive an emailed recording of the event (eligible members, please look out for those emails in your inbox -- you may want to flag them if they\'re going into your junk mail).\r\n\r\nIf you are a <i>Universal Member</i>, you can join us by registering on my website via the Home page... or you can also upgrade to <i>Star Membership</i> and join us for FREE, every month :-)\r\n\r\nAgain, we apply what happens every month to our own birth charts; in addition to Chiron’s journey through Aries until 2027, we\'ll also be looking at Uranus\'s upcoming journey through Taurus. Both of these transits promise major shifts ahead!\r\n\r\nThere\'s something else I\'d like to mention in connection with this Full Moon: <i>Saturn forms a Trine to the Sun in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> and a Sextile to the Moon in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>.</i><i> </i>\r\n\r\nThis makes it easier for us to recognize what we value most, and how to manifest it long-term in the real world -- partly by helping us stay focused on our priorities -- it is in fact a very favorable combination for manifesting things.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>Could focusing on my long-term goals actually help me balance <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">any physical/material priorities I have</span> with my deep emotional <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">partnerships</span> with others? What if I brought a sense of responsibility to the table? What would being present right now do for my long-term goals?\r\n\r\nLastly, let\'s talk about <i>Venus,</i> the ruler of Taurus; she<i> </i><i>is currently in </i><b><i>Gemini.</i></b>\r\n\r\nThis has us seeking out mental stimulation: sharing, teaching, learning, writing, reading, etc…. We want to connect, learn, and share as much as possible... Note that Gemini is also connected to the media.\r\n\r\n<i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> squares Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> and makes a somewhat challenging aspect to the Mars/Pluto alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i><i> </i>\r\n\r\n<i>Venus squares Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>: </i><i>This </i>brings up the challenge between connecting the unconditional heart with the rational mind —  and between introverted vs. extroverted, slow vs. fast, intuition vs. \"learning\". Not only that, with this combo, we may not always know if something is \"fact or fiction\".\r\n\r\nWe are being asked to stretch ourselves in order to resolve a tension between what our mind tells us we want, versus our need to tap into our intuitive sensing and feel our way through something. As best as you can, do not believe everything you hear -- whether externally (from others) or internally (from your own conditioned mind ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What might I hear if I listened to intuition before I share something? What if I listened to intuition while reading or watching something? What thoughts would I then share? What if I were 5% more appreciative and kind with myself and others -- especially when thoughts are being shared or processed?\r\n\r\n<b>Bonus questions:</b> What if learning was not a straight line? What if it was circular? Or like a  never-ending spiral?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus makes a somewhat challenging aspect to the Mars/Pluto alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn: </i></b><i>This</i> creates a tension and a challenge: we are called to make an effort, work hard, and learn. <b>Ask yourself: </b>Where do my words need more integrity? Might mental flexibility actually support my determination? If I made 5% more effort to choose the best words, what would that mean for my relationships? Is there anything I might not be fully allowing myself to acknowledge? What would I prefer stayed hidden to myself?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum  it all up:</b> This Full Moon reminds us that life and death are entwined, that every new beginning is an ending for something else, and vice versa. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What fears and traumas need to be investigated and made conscious, so I can be more in touch with my own worthiness, and better see my own value? What behaviors and habits need to come to an end and make way for me to create more abundance?\r\n\r\nLong-standing patterns demand to be addressed right now! The good news is that we have the <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">persistence</span> to do just that, and thereby step into a more fully empowered self-experience... As best as you can therefore, release what you have outgrown, and focus where you <i>actually</i> have influence, rather than forcing things and struggling to change what you have no control over.\r\n\r\nSome <b>final questions</b>: What would a completely new approach to achieving <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">“powerful leadership”</span> in the world bring about? What would long-term commitments based on trust, love and a genuine desire for a deeper, more authentic connection bring to life?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 7-12 degrees of</i><b><i> Taurus,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>?

As long as we don\'t get bored, we will stick around -- but as soon as we disengage mentally, we begin to thirst for interesting conversations with new people, in new places and/or situations. Love is playful and lighthearted for the next 3.5 weeks and humor plays a part in all our relationships.\r\n\r\nOur finances might fluctuate at this time, as we don\'t invest in anything for long enough to know whether it would have actually made a profit. That said, this sign-change actually favors financial transactions that benefit from speed, or wide dispersal of resources -- it\'s a great time for short-term investments.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, stay open-minded and flexible toward love and finances.

Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce. <strong>Ask yourself</strong>: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term?

Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s therefore an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can therefore be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so as best you can, be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> This Moon placement also starts the build up towards the Full Moon (exact later this evening)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning,</strong> <em>a harmonious Sun/Saturn alignment</em> becomes exact at 6:04am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday night (April 23rd) on; it will be strong until next week, Wednesday (May 2nd). </strong>Commitment and discipline are the keys to understanding our heart\'s desire right now. We face life on life\'s terms and feel up to doing so (especially when it comes to our creative self-expression).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What could I achieve if I brought 5% more joy to my long-term plans?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nParadoxically, we can also bring a more mature approach to exploring our \"inner child\" energy. How might a supportive \"inner parent\" help your \"inner child\" feel safe to play?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>6-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? Or your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)? If either of those is true, you can expect to be more blessed by this aspect :-)</i>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned earlier, the entrance of the <i>Moon into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b> started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon;</i> this will be exact today <b>(Sunday</b><b>, April 29th) at 8:58pm EDT  </b><i>in 9.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>.\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon shows us what we must release,  if we are to manifest what was started at the time of the New Moon that occurred  shortly after April 15th.\r\n\r\nFor the next two weeks, we seek the balance and integration of two polarities -- and are more aware<b> </b>of something that needs to be brought into alignment. The balance in question is between our physical attachments/connections -- symbolized by <b>Taurus</b> -- and our emotional attachments/connections (<b>Scorpio</b>).\r\n\r\nThe time of any Full Moon is always more extroverted and emotional; this particular one invites us to let go of fears, and thereby break through to the next level of our evolution.\r\n\r\nSo, here\'s this Full Moon\'s central question: What do we really want? As a society, as people, as individuals... To learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, please click here to watch my video\r\n\r\nAll right, let\'s look at the signs involved in this polarity, beginning with <b>Taurus:</b>\r\n\r\nTaurus seeks comfort and material stability. It\'s concerned with our relationship to the planet, and with the physical plane in general -- and with a hugely important part of our relationship with ourselves, namely \"self-esteem\".\r\n\r\nOf course, <b>Taurus</b> also has a shadow side: attachment to material things, especially when using them to make up for low self-esteem, seeking to feel better about ourselves through indulging in physical pleasures -- and immovability -- wanting to keep things the same, usually so we don\'t experience physical discomfort.\r\n\r\n<b>Scorpio</b>, on the other hand, craves transformation — and it seeks this in part by putting us in touch with our deepest desires and worst fears, bringing it into conscious awareness, so that we can see and release what no longer serves, or has become stale or toxic. Put another way: it helps us move from a \"survival mentality\" to a passionate engagement with life.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Where in my life do I observe a \"survival mentality\"? In what ways am I protecting myself from feeling hurt or disempowered?</span>\r\n\r\nIt’s essential to bring conscious awareness to the walls we have built to feel protected and more “empowered”. Addressing past traumas and any sense of disempowerment is the only way to allow for the return of trust toward others (and life in general). By acknowledging our fears and breaking down those walls, we can transform into truly powerful beings of love and inner strength.\r\n\r\nWhat is <b>Scorpio\'s</b> shadow? Attachment to emotional connections (even if they are toxic) , avoidance of emotional pain, armoring and protecting ourselves from incidents of disempowerment that no longer exist outside of memory, trust issues, black-and-white thinking, addiction to drama and darkness (or substances)... and anything we want to prevent. Scorpio\'s shadow sees us coming from an instinctual, self-protective place, rather than from intuitive, love-based spaciousness.\r\n\r\n<b>Scorpio</b> wants to go beyond the surface, to our deeper motivations. For the next two weeks, <b>ask yourself:</b> Where do my intentions and efforts seem to get undermined? What propels my sense of attraction or repulsion? What turns me on about life? What scares me?\r\n\r\nSome <b>more questions:</b> What is coming to the surface? Could I simply allow it to? Could I temporarily suspend the need to judge it, \"understand\" it, get rid of it?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon Nodes in </i><b><i>Aquarius/Leo</i></b><i> are in a close Square to the Full Moon</i>. This creates a fixed  Grand Cross and therefore some tension -- it usually indicates a need for releasing old karmic patterns, on a collective and individual level.\r\n\r\nIf you find yourself becoming reactive within the next two weeks, <b>ask yourself:</b> Are these triggers in my relationships \"old\" or familiar? If I were completely honest with myself right now, might I find I was blowing things out of proportion a little bit? What if I took things 5% less personally, just as a brief experiment? Could I acknowledge how I feel that particular situation/feeling is part of my identity -- how it feels like it is about me or who I am? And just for right now, and just as best as I can, could I let go of that sense that \"it\'s personal\"?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon and Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> make a trine to Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>. This is a favorable aspect that supports our ability to release and heal old traumas, while connecting us to our feminine energies in a supportive way; we see from new perspectives and are more able to deal with the darker side of things, through humor and a renewed approach.\r\n\r\nAllowing our fears to surface and bringing compassion and kindness to our feeling-body is a little easier for the next two weeks. <b>Ask yourself:</b> Just for today (or even just for right now), could I let go of \"survival mode\"? If I lowered my protective barriers by 5%, and started to trust 5% more, what might shift in regards to intimacy with others? With myself? With life itself?\r\n\r\nHere is another exercise that you can try (I\'ve mentioned this in a previous video, but I think it\'s worth exploring again):\r\n\r\nImagine yourself in survival mode: What imagery comes to mind? Get quiet, and allow yourself to visualize your inner predator/protector. What does it look like? Could you have compassion and understanding towards that inner predator/protector?\r\n\r\nNow imagine yourself being passionately engaged with life, powerfully connected to your heart and your loving strength: What imagery comes to mind now? What does your Higher Self look like? Could you choose to embrace that divine nature fully, in this now moment?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars,</i> the traditional ruler of Scorpio,<i> </i><i>is currently in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, and aligns with Pluto </i>(the modern ruler of <b>Scorpio</b>).\r\n\r\nWe are therefore asked to look at our lives and our long-term plans. We seek empowerment from within, rather than exertion of \"power\" over others. We are  invited to act from \"the power of love\" vs. \"the love of power\" -- and remember that healthy \"self-love\" is also a form of… love! :)\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> How emotionally authentic am I being in my actions? Do I feel passionate about what I am building long-term? Am I consistently empowering <i>myself and</i> others? How am I doing at letting go of behaviors and impulses that arise from past trauma or a sense of threat?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars</i> supports us in taking actions that transform what no longer serves, and in building healthy foundations for those long-term goals. <b>Ask yourself: </b>What feels most satisfying to me personally? What are my priorities? What is my bottom line? What is the simplest next action that leads to manifesting all of that long-term? <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Are my actions motivated by <b>love</b> (wanting to thrive/to live full-out) or <b>fear</b> (wanting to survive/protect myself)?</span>\r\n\r\n<i>Chiron moved into </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> just recently, and therefore the position of <i>Mars</i> is also connected to the \"Wounded Healer\". One of my hopes for the membership site was that it would free me up to make more special content for my members, and I\'m delighted to say that this is already happening. I just completed a special article on \"Chiron in Aries\" that is only available to site Members, so please do check that out, if you haven\'t seen it yet ;-)\r\n\r\nOf course, my <i>Star</i> and <i>SuperStar Members</i> will also be automatically be invited to join the next Forecasting Forum, which will delve into Chiron\'s move into Aries in detail, looking at how it impacts our birth charts -- these membership levels can take part in the live webinar, and they also receive an emailed recording of the event (eligible members, please look out for those emails in your inbox -- you may want to flag them if they\'re going into your junk mail).\r\n\r\nIf you are a <i>Universal Member</i>, you can join us by registering on my website via the Home page... or you can also upgrade to <i>Star Membership</i> and join us for FREE, every month :-)\r\n\r\nAgain, we apply what happens every month to our own birth charts; in addition to Chiron’s journey through Aries until 2027, we\'ll also be looking at Uranus\'s upcoming journey through Taurus.

What would being present right now do for my long-term goals?\r\n\r\nLastly, let\'s talk about <i>Venus,</i> the ruler of Taurus; she<i> </i><i>is currently in </i><b><i>Gemini.</i></b>\r\n\r\nThis has us seeking out mental stimulation: sharing, teaching, learning, writing, reading, etc…. We want to connect, learn, and share as much as possible... Note that Gemini is also connected to the media.\r\n\r\n<i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> squares Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> and makes a somewhat challenging aspect to the Mars/Pluto alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i><i> </i>\r\n\r\n<i>Venus squares Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>: </i><i>This </i>brings up the challenge between connecting the unconditional heart with the rational mind —  and between introverted vs. extroverted, slow vs. fast, intuition vs. \"learning\". Not only that, with this combo, we may not always know if something is \"fact or fiction\".\r\n\r\nWe are being asked to stretch ourselves in order to resolve a tension between what our mind tells us we want, versus our need to tap into our intuitive sensing and feel our way through something. As best as you can, do not believe everything you hear -- whether externally (from others) or internally (from your own conditioned mind ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What might I hear if I listened to intuition before I share something? What if I listened to intuition while reading or watching something? What thoughts would I then share? What if I were 5% more appreciative and kind with myself and others -- especially when thoughts are being shared or processed?\r\n\r\n<b>Bonus questions:</b> What if learning was not a straight line? What if it was circular? Or like a  never-ending spiral?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus makes a somewhat challenging aspect to the Mars/Pluto alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn: </i></b><i>This</i> creates a tension and a challenge: we are called to make an effort, work hard, and learn. <b>Ask yourself: </b>Where do my words need more integrity? Might mental flexibility actually support my determination? If I made 5% more effort to choose the best words, what would that mean for my relationships? Is there anything I might not be fully allowing myself to acknowledge? What would I prefer stayed hidden to myself?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum  it all up:</b> This Full Moon reminds us that life and death are entwined, that every new beginning is an ending for something else, and vice versa. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What fears and traumas need to be investigated and made conscious, so I can be more in touch with my own worthiness, and better see my own value? What behaviors and habits need to come to an end and make way for me to create more abundance?\r\n\r\nLong-standing patterns demand to be addressed right now! The good news is that we have the <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">persistence</span> to do just that, and thereby step into a more fully empowered self-experience... As best as you can therefore, release what you have outgrown, and focus where you <i>actually</i> have influence, rather than forcing things and struggling to change what you have no control over.\r\n\r\nSome <b>final questions</b>: What would a completely new approach to achieving <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">“powerful leadership”</span> in the world bring about? What would long-term commitments based on trust, love and a genuine desire for a deeper, more authentic connection bring to life?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 7-12 degrees of</i><b><i> Taurus,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s Full Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>A head’s up for next Monday (April 30th):</strong> t<em>he Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </em><strong><em>Scorpio</em> all day</strong> (see Sunday early morning for details).

We are more likely to connect with others in an active and fun way.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe feel stronger, more assertive, and more straightforward -- and this goes over well with others. As with all opportunities in life, this one is not simply handed to us, we have to make something of it. What actions could you take right now, that would help create a deeper connection to others?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in <em>18-22 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Scorpio, </i></b><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (April 24th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em><strong> until 4:40pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 12:40pm EDT,</strong> <i>Venus changes signs from steady, calm, sensual</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>to chatty, social, versatile</i> <b><i>Gemini.</i></b> Venus, the energy of love, “relating\" and finances will journey through Gemini <strong>until May 19th.</strong> For the next 3.5 weeks, we value mental stimulation and frequent changes of scenery in our love relationships.\r\n\r\nWe love connecting and sharing ourselves with others. As long as we don\'t get bored, we will stick around -- but as soon as we disengage mentally, we begin to thirst for interesting conversations with new people, in new places and/or situations. Love is playful and lighthearted for the next 3.5 weeks and humor plays a part in all our relationships.\r\n\r\nOur finances might fluctuate at this time, as we don\'t invest in anything for long enough to know whether it would have actually made a profit. That said, this sign-change actually favors financial transactions that benefit from speed, or wide dispersal of resources -- it\'s a great time for short-term investments.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, stay open-minded and flexible toward love and finances. Curiosity towards life and love is a great gift as Venus moves through Gemini -- you never know where things will go at this time — and if nothing else, that attitude makes it hard to be bored for even a second ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel more chatty for the next 3.5 weeks. Your heart will want to connect to friends and have several activities going all at once. Learning or teaching something new might be just the thing for you to do right now. If you are a</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to have more love and beauty in your life for as long as Venus is in your sign</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 2:40pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 2 hours, <strong>until 4:40pm EDT</strong>. During this intuitive time, have fun connecting with others and doing things that bring you joy — explore something different, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday afternoon ahead of time.<span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"> (Moon trines Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 4:40pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Thursday evening</strong>; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<b> </b><b>\r\n</b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday evening,</strong> <em>an opportune Venus/Chiron aspect becomes exact</em> at 8:41pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Sunday night (April 22nd) on; it will be strong until Thursday (April 26th). </strong>It\'s an opportunity to bring healing to our wounds around relationships or our sense of self-worth.\r\n\r\nWe get a chance to love ourselves and heal deep fears of not being \"good enough\". Healing happens much faster when we can open to forgiving ourselves and others. As best as you can, bring compassion and understanding to yourself, to others, and to those past experiences that wounded you.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>28-2 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Gemini, Aries, Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Libra </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso<strong> on Tuesday,</strong> although now retrograde, <i>Saturn resumes its normal pace through the sky, ending its station</i>. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">What has come up in the last two weeks, around commitments to build something long-term, and the need to be more realistic?</span> <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">How truthful are you with yourself, in regards to were you are at?</span> The retrograde phase is a good time to do some internal work in these areas (the retrograde ends on Sept. 6th).\r\n\r\nWe now have 4.5 months to go over recently built business structures, to see if they are aligned with our inner truth. We are also now ready to contemplate solutions for whatever was \"in our face\" from April 9th until now -- solutions that work well both with our inner truth and our outer reality.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (April 25th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday early evening,</strong> <em>a challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:28pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday late morning (April 20th) on; it will remain strong until Saturday evening (April 28th). </strong>Due to the Mercury Retrograde phase that just need recently, we get to experience this aspect several times; this is the third and last pass within the last 6.5 weeks. This gives us a chance to address our approach toward any misunderstandings.\r\n\r\nThis aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature. Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce. <strong>Ask yourself</strong>: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to your passions, while remaining committed to exploring them one step at a time. What is my life calling me to explore? Could I go for it (one step at a time)?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>6-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn,<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

You may also want to plan Thursday all day and evening ahead of time. <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon trines Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning,</strong> <em>a Mars/Pluto alignment in 21 degress of <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> becomes exact at 7:00am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday morning (April 19th) on, it will remain strong until Tuesday evening (May 1st). </strong>This alignment connects our personal will to the Universal Will. If we feel the need to connect to something, we will feel it passionately, especially when it comes to our long-term goals and our public image.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe may feel impatient (or even obsessive) right now about our career goals. Suppressed desires surface; we will need to take actions on them, one way or another. If you are able to connect -- body and soul -- to that passion, you will be able to move towards a much higher goal. This may be a goal that is truthfully connected to the whole of you, perhaps even to your Soul Purpose for this lifetime.\r\n\r\nMars last aligned with Pluto in mid Oct. of 2016; unresolved issues from that period can now move to the next level. What were you up to back then? <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">How can you move things to the next level now?</span>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in <em>18-24 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this aspect more strongly than otherwise. </i><i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Mars\'s movements and aspects; Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio, so they likewise feel Pluto\'s movements and aspects more strongly)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 9:13pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday very early morning. </strong>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time, and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating. These next two days are a great time for mediation -- but our need for peace and accompanying aversion to direct conflict could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might like.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (April 27th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday very early morning,</strong><i> </i>we are asked to connect with others, socialize, and share information with them <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><i>(Moon in </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Libra</strong><i> trines Venus in </i></span><strong><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><em>Gemin</em>i at 2:48am EDT -- post at 12:45am EDT)</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning, </strong>we are invited to make some internal adjustments. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">We may want to relax, slow down and enjoy life with our 5 senses, but we may also need to collaborate with others.

Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday very early morning ahead of time. <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (April 29th)</strong><strong> at 3:11am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Tuesday late morning</strong>. We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s therefore an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can therefore be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so as best you can, be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> This Moon placement also starts the build up towards the Full Moon (exact later this evening)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning,</strong> <em>a harmonious Sun/Saturn alignment</em> becomes exact at 6:04am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday night (April 23rd) on; it will be strong until next week, Wednesday (May 2nd). </strong>Commitment and discipline are the keys to understanding our heart\'s desire right now. We face life on life\'s terms and feel up to doing so (especially when it comes to our creative self-expression).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What could I achieve if I brought 5% more joy to my long-term plans?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nParadoxically, we can also bring a more mature approach to exploring our \"inner child\" energy. How might a supportive \"inner parent\" help your \"inner child\" feel safe to play?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>6-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? Or your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)? If either of those is true, you can expect to be more blessed by this aspect :-)</i>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned earlier, the entrance of the <i>Moon into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b> started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon;</i> this will be exact today <b>(Sunday</b><b>, April 29th) at 8:58pm EDT  </b><i>in 9.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>.\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon shows us what we must release,  if we are to manifest what was started at the time of the New Moon that occurred  shortly after April 15th.\r\n\r\nFor the next two weeks, we seek the balance and integration of two polarities -- and are more aware<b> </b>of something that needs to be brought into alignment. The balance in question is between our physical attachments/connections -- symbolized by <b>Taurus</b> -- and our emotional attachments/connections (<b>Scorpio</b>).\r\n\r\nThe time of any Full Moon is always more extroverted and emotional; this particular one invites us to let go of fears, and thereby break through to the next level of our evolution.\r\n\r\nSo, here\'s this Full Moon\'s central question: What do we really want? As a society, as people, as individuals... To learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, please click here to watch my video\r\n\r\nAll right, let\'s look at the signs involved in this polarity, beginning with <b>Taurus:</b>\r\n\r\nTaurus seeks comfort and material stability. It\'s concerned with our relationship to the planet, and with the physical plane in general -- and with a hugely important part of our relationship with ourselves, namely \"self-esteem\".\r\n\r\nOf course, <b>Taurus</b> also has a shadow side: attachment to material things, especially when using them to make up for low self-esteem, seeking to feel better about ourselves through indulging in physical pleasures -- and immovability -- wanting to keep things the same, usually so we don\'t experience physical discomfort.\r\n\r\n<b>Scorpio</b>, on the other hand, craves transformation — and it seeks this in part by putting us in touch with our deepest desires and worst fears, bringing it into conscious awareness, so that we can see and release what no longer serves, or has become stale or toxic. Put another way: it helps us move from a \"survival mentality\" to a passionate engagement with life.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Where in my life do I observe a \"survival mentality\"? In what ways am I protecting myself from feeling hurt or disempowered?</span>\r\n\r\nIt’s essential to bring conscious awareness to the walls we have built to feel protected and more “empowered”. Addressing past traumas and any sense of disempowerment is the only way to allow for the return of trust toward others (and life in general). By acknowledging our fears and breaking down those walls, we can transform into truly powerful beings of love and inner strength.\r\n\r\nWhat is <b>Scorpio\'s</b> shadow? Attachment to emotional connections (even if they are toxic) , avoidance of emotional pain, armoring and protecting ourselves from incidents of disempowerment that no longer exist outside of memory, trust issues, black-and-white thinking, addiction to drama and darkness (or substances)... and anything we want to prevent. Scorpio\'s shadow sees us coming from an instinctual, self-protective place, rather than from intuitive, love-based spaciousness.\r\n\r\n<b>Scorpio</b> wants to go beyond the surface, to our deeper motivations. For the next two weeks, <b>ask yourself:</b> Where do my intentions and efforts seem to get undermined? What propels my sense of attraction or repulsion? What turns me on about life? What scares me?\r\n\r\nSome <b>more questions:</b> What is coming to the surface? Could I simply allow it to? Could I temporarily suspend the need to judge it, \"understand\" it, get rid of it?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon Nodes in </i><b><i>Aquarius/Leo</i></b><i> are in a close Square to the Full Moon</i>. This creates a fixed  Grand Cross and therefore some tension -- it usually indicates a need for releasing old karmic patterns, on a collective and individual level.\r\n\r\nIf you find yourself becoming reactive within the next two weeks, <b>ask yourself:</b> Are these triggers in my relationships \"old\" or familiar? If I were completely honest with myself right now, might I find I was blowing things out of proportion a little bit? What if I took things 5% less personally, just as a brief experiment? Could I acknowledge how I feel that particular situation/feeling is part of my identity -- how it feels like it is about me or who I am? And just for right now, and just as best as I can, could I let go of that sense that \"it\'s personal\"?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon and Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> make a trine to Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>. This is a favorable aspect that supports our ability to release and heal old traumas, while connecting us to our feminine energies in a supportive way; we see from new perspectives and are more able to deal with the darker side of things, through humor and a renewed approach.\r\n\r\nAllowing our fears to surface and bringing compassion and kindness to our feeling-body is a little easier for the next two weeks. <b>Ask yourself:</b> Just for today (or even just for right now), could I let go of \"survival mode\"? If I lowered my protective barriers by 5%, and started to trust 5% more, what might shift in regards to intimacy with others? With myself? With life itself?\r\n\r\nHere is another exercise that you can try (I\'ve mentioned this in a previous video, but I think it\'s worth exploring again):\r\n\r\nImagine yourself in survival mode: What imagery comes to mind? Get quiet, and allow yourself to visualize your inner predator/protector. What does it look like? Could you have compassion and understanding towards that inner predator/protector?\r\n\r\nNow imagine yourself being passionately engaged with life, powerfully connected to your heart and your loving strength: What imagery comes to mind now? What does your Higher Self look like? Could you choose to embrace that divine nature fully, in this now moment?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars,</i> the traditional ruler of Scorpio,<i> </i><i>is currently in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, and aligns with Pluto </i>(the modern ruler of <b>Scorpio</b>).\r\n\r\nWe are therefore asked to look at our lives and our long-term plans. We seek empowerment from within, rather than exertion of \"power\" over others. We are  invited to act from \"the power of love\" vs. \"the love of power\" -- and remember that healthy \"self-love\" is also a form of… love! :)\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> How emotionally authentic am I being in my actions? Do I feel passionate about what I am building long-term? Am I consistently empowering <i>myself and</i> others? How am I doing at letting go of behaviors and impulses that arise from past trauma or a sense of threat?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars</i> supports us in taking actions that transform what no longer serves, and in building healthy foundations for those long-term goals. <b>Ask yourself: </b>What feels most satisfying to me personally? What are my priorities? What is my bottom line? What is the simplest next action that leads to manifesting all of that long-term? <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Are my actions motivated by <b>love</b> (wanting to thrive/to live full-out) or <b>fear</b> (wanting to survive/protect myself)?</span>\r\n\r\n<i>Chiron moved into </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> just recently, and therefore the position of <i>Mars</i> is also connected to the \"Wounded Healer\". One of my hopes for the membership site was that it would free me up to make more special content for my members, and I\'m delighted to say that this is already happening. I just completed a special article on \"Chiron in Aries\" that is only available to site Members, so please do check that out, if you haven\'t seen it yet ;-)\r\n\r\nOf course, my <i>Star</i> and <i>SuperStar Members</i> will also be automatically be invited to join the next Forecasting Forum, which will delve into Chiron\'s move into Aries in detail, looking at how it impacts our birth charts -- these membership levels can take part in the live webinar, and they also receive an emailed recording of the event (eligible members, please look out for those emails in your inbox -- you may want to flag them if they\'re going into your junk mail).\r\n\r\nIf you are a <i>Universal Member</i>, you can join us by registering on my website via the Home page... or you can also upgrade to <i>Star Membership</i> and join us for FREE, every month :-)\r\n\r\nAgain, we apply what happens every month to our own birth charts; in addition to Chiron’s journey through Aries until 2027, we\'ll also be looking at Uranus\'s upcoming journey through Taurus. Both of these transits promise major shifts ahead!\r\n\r\nThere\'s something else I\'d like to mention in connection with this Full Moon: <i>Saturn forms a Trine to the Sun in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> and a Sextile to the Moon in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>.</i><i> </i>\r\n\r\nThis makes it easier for us to recognize what we value most, and how to manifest it long-term in the real world -- partly by helping us stay focused on our priorities -- it is in fact a very favorable combination for manifesting things.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>Could focusing on my long-term goals actually help me balance <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">any physical/material priorities I have</span> with my deep emotional <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">partnerships</span> with others? What if I brought a sense of responsibility to the table? What would being present right now do for my long-term goals?\r\n\r\nLastly, let\'s talk about <i>Venus,</i> the ruler of Taurus; she<i> </i><i>is currently in </i><b><i>Gemini.</i></b>\r\n\r\nThis has us seeking out mental stimulation: sharing, teaching, learning, writing, reading, etc…. We want to connect, learn, and share as much as possible... Note that Gemini is also connected to the media.\r\n\r\n<i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> squares Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> and makes a somewhat challenging aspect to the Mars/Pluto alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i><i> </i>\r\n\r\n<i>Venus squares Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>: </i><i>This </i>brings up the challenge between connecting the unconditional heart with the rational mind —  and between introverted vs. extroverted, slow vs. fast, intuition vs. \"learning\". Not only that, with this combo, we may not always know if something is \"fact or fiction\".\r\n\r\nWe are being asked to stretch ourselves in order to resolve a tension between what our mind tells us we want, versus our need to tap into our intuitive sensing and feel our way through something. As best as you can, do not believe everything you hear -- whether externally (from others) or internally (from your own conditioned mind ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What might I hear if I listened to intuition before I share something? What if I listened to intuition while reading or watching something? What thoughts would I then share? What if I were 5% more appreciative and kind with myself and others -- especially when thoughts are being shared or processed?\r\n\r\n<b>Bonus questions:</b> What if learning was not a straight line? What if it was circular? Or like a  never-ending spiral?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus makes a somewhat challenging aspect to the Mars/Pluto alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn: </i></b><i>This</i> creates a tension and a challenge: we are called to make an effort, work hard, and learn. <b>Ask yourself: </b>Where do my words need more integrity? Might mental flexibility actually support my determination? If I made 5% more effort to choose the best words, what would that mean for my relationships? Is there anything I might not be fully allowing myself to acknowledge? What would I prefer stayed hidden to myself?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum  it all up:</b> This Full Moon reminds us that life and death are entwined, that every new beginning is an ending for something else, and vice versa. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What fears and traumas need to be investigated and made conscious, so I can be more in touch with my own worthiness, and better see my own value? What behaviors and habits need to come to an end and make way for me to create more abundance?\r\n\r\nLong-standing patterns demand to be addressed right now! The good news is that we have the <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">persistence</span> to do just that, and thereby step into a more fully empowered self-experience... As best as you can therefore, release what you have outgrown, and focus where you <i>actually</i> have influence, rather than forcing things and struggling to change what you have no control over.\r\n\r\nSome <b>final questions</b>: What would a completely new approach to achieving <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">“powerful leadership”</span> in the world bring about? What would long-term commitments based on trust, love and a genuine desire for a deeper, more authentic connection bring to life?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 7-12 degrees of</i><b><i> Taurus,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>?

What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday night/</strong>Tuesday very early morning<strong>,</strong> <em>an opportune Mars/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:13am EDT.<strong> </strong><strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday evening (April 20th) on; it will be strong until Friday morning (April 27th). </strong>This aspect is an opportunity for us to tap into our optimism, enthusiasm, and sense of expansion. We are more likely to connect with others in an active and fun way.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe feel stronger, more assertive, and more straightforward -- and this goes over well with others. As with all opportunities in life, this one is not simply handed to us, we have to make something of it. What actions could you take right now, that would help create a deeper connection to others?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in <em>18-22 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Scorpio, </i></b><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (April 24th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em><strong> until 4:40pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 12:40pm EDT,</strong> <i>Venus changes signs from steady, calm, sensual</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>to chatty, social, versatile</i> <b><i>Gemini.</i></b> Venus, the energy of love, “relating\" and finances will journey through Gemini <strong>until May 19th.</strong> For the next 3.5 weeks, we value mental stimulation and frequent changes of scenery in our love relationships.\r\n\r\nWe love connecting and sharing ourselves with others. As long as we don\'t get bored, we will stick around -- but as soon as we disengage mentally, we begin to thirst for interesting conversations with new people, in new places and/or situations. Love is playful and lighthearted for the next 3.5 weeks and humor plays a part in all our relationships.\r\n\r\nOur finances might fluctuate at this time, as we don\'t invest in anything for long enough to know whether it would have actually made a profit. That said, this sign-change actually favors financial transactions that benefit from rapidity, or from widely dispersed resources -- it\'s a great time for short-term investments.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, stay open-minded and flexible toward love and finances. Curiosity towards life and love is a great gift as Venus moves through Gemini -- you never know where things will go at this time — and if nothing else, that attitude makes it hard to be bored for even a second ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel more chatty for the next 3.5 weeks. Your heart will want to connect with friends and have several activities going all at once. Learning or teaching something new might be just the thing for you to do right now. If you are a</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to have more love and beauty in your life for as long as Venus is in your sign</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 2:40pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 2 hours, <strong>until 4:40pm EDT</strong>. During this intuitive time, have fun connecting with others and doing things that bring you joy — explore something different, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday afternoon ahead of time.<span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 4:40pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Thursday evening</strong>; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<b> </b><b>\r\n</b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday evening,</strong> <em>an opportune Venus/Chiron aspect becomes exact</em> at 8:41pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Sunday night (April 22nd) on; it will be strong until Thursday (April 26th). </strong>It\'s an opportunity to bring healing to our wounds around relationships or our sense of self-worth.\r\n\r\nWe get a chance to love ourselves and heal deep fears of not being \"good enough\". Healing happens much faster when we can open to forgiving ourselves and others. As best as you can, bring compassion and understanding to yourself, to others, and to those past experiences that wounded you.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>28-2 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Gemini, Aries, Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Libra </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso<strong> on Tuesday,</strong> although now retrograde, <i>Saturn resumes its normal pace through the sky, ending its station</i>. What came up in the last two weeks around any commitments to build something long-term? How about the need to be more realistic? How truthful are you with yourself about \"where you\'re at\"? The retrograde phase is a good time to do some internal work in these areas (the retrograde ends on Sept. 6th).\r\n\r\nWe now have 4.5 months to go over recently built business structures, to see if they are aligned with our inner truth. We are also now ready to contemplate solutions for whatever was \"in our face\" from April 9th until now -- solutions that work well both with our inner truth and our outer reality.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (April 25th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday early evening,</strong> <em>a challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:28pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday late morning (April 20th) on; it will remain strong until Saturday evening (April 28th). </strong>Due to the Mercury Retrograde phase that just ended recently, we get to experience this aspect several times; this is the third and last pass within the last 6.5 weeks. This gives us a chance to address our approach toward any misunderstandings.\r\n\r\nThis aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature. Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce. <strong>Ask yourself</strong>: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to your passions, while remaining committed to exploring them one step at a time. What is my life calling me to explore? Could I go for it (one step at a time)?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>6-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn,<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

You may also want to plan Thursday all day and evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning,</strong> <em>a Mars/Pluto alignment in 21 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> becomes exact at 7:00am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday morning (April 19th) on, it will remain strong until Tuesday evening (May 1st). </strong>This alignment connects our personal will to the Universal Will. If we feel the need to connect to something, we will feel it passionately, especially when it comes to our long-term goals and our public image.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe may feel impatient (or even obsessive) right now about our career goals. Suppressed desires surface; we will need to take actions on them, one way or another. If you are able to connect -- body and soul -- to that passion, you will be able to move towards a much higher goal. This may be a goal that is truly connected to the whole of you, perhaps even to your Soul Purpose for this lifetime.\r\n\r\nMars last aligned with Pluto in mid-October, 2016; unresolved issues from that period can now move to the next level. What were you up to back then? What does the next level look like for those ventures? What is a simple step you could take to move them there?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in <em>18-24 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this aspect more strongly than otherwise. </i><i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Mars\'s movements and aspects; Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio, so they likewise feel Pluto\'s movements and aspects more strongly)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 9:13pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday very early morning. </strong>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating -- and although these next two days are a great time for mediation, our need for peace (and aversion to direct conflict) could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might prefer.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe may also be able to see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (April 27th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday very early morning,</strong><i> </i>we are asked to connect with others, socialize, and share information with them\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning: </strong>we are invited to make some internal adjustments. We may want to relax, slow down and enjoy life through our senses -- but we may also feel drawn to collaboration with others. Might there be a way to honor yourself while still adjusting to other peoples wishes?<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday early afternoon: </strong>we feel a need for even-handed collaboration... and for focusing on our long-term accomplishments and standing in society. As best as you can, find a creative way through this!<em> </em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late afternoon: </strong>we may need to balance wanting harmony with others, against wanting to be direct and to share ourselves without apologies.<span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><em><strong> </strong></em></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (April 28th):</strong> t<em>he Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> ( See Thursday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday late morning,</strong><em> </em>we may need to make some adjustments and find creative ways to work with the energies at play: On the one hand, we need to collaborate with others and play nice, on the other hand, we feel a deep desire to be authentic and truthful about what we want to build long-term.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday early afternoon: </strong>On the one hand, we need harmony and peace in interactions with others; on the other, we feel the need to give our long-term goals 100%. We may need to make some adjustments between these two needs that are seemingly at odds.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday night/</strong>Sunday very early morning<strong> at 1:32am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for almost 2 hours, <strong>until 3:11am EDT</strong> (Sunday early morning). Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday very early morning ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (April 29th)</strong><strong> at 3:11am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Tuesday late morning</strong>. We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s thus an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your very best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the Full Moon (exact later this evening)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning,</strong> <em>a harmonious Sun/Saturn alignment</em> becomes exact at 6:04am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday night (April 23rd) on; it will be strong until next week, Wednesday (May 2nd). </strong>Commitment and discipline are the keys to understanding our heart\'s desire right now. We face life on life\'s terms and feel up to doing so (especially when it comes to our creative self-expression).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What could I achieve if I bought 5% more joy to my long-term plans?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nParadoxically, we can also bring a more mature approach to exploring our \"inner child\" energy. How might a supportive \"inner parent\" help your \"inner child\" feel safe to play?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>6-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? Or your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)? If either of those is true, you can expect to be more blessed by this aspect :-)</i>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned earlier, the entrance of the <i>Moon into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b> started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon;</i> this will be exact today <b>(Sunday</b><b>, April 29th) at 8:58pm EDT  </b><i>in 9.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>.\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon shows us what we must release,  if we are to manifest what was started at the time of the New Moon that occurred shortly after April 15th.\r\n\r\nFor the next two weeks, we seek the balance and integration of two polarities -- and are more aware<b> </b>of something that needs to be brought into alignment. The balance in question is between our physical attachments/connections -- symbolized by <b>Taurus</b> -- and our emotional attachments/connections (<b>Scorpio</b>).\r\n\r\nThe time of any Full Moon is always more extroverted and emotional; this particular one invites us to let go of fears, and thereby break through to the next level of our evolution.\r\n\r\nSo, here\'s this Full Moon\'s central question: What do we really want? As a society, as people, as individuals... To learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, please click here to watch my video\r\n\r\nAll right, let\'s look at the signs involved in this polarity, beginning with <b>Taurus:</b>\r\n\r\nTaurus seeks comfort and material stability. It\'s concerned with our relationship to the planet, and with the physical plane in general -- and with a hugely important part of our relationship with ourselves, namely \"self-esteem\".\r\n\r\nOf course, <b>Taurus</b> also has a shadow side: attachment to material things, especially when using them to make up for low self-esteem, seeking to feel better about ourselves through indulging in physical pleasures -- and immovability -- wanting to keep things the same, usually so we don\'t experience physical discomfort.\r\n\r\n<b>Scorpio</b>, on the other hand, craves transformation — and it seeks this in part by putting us in touch with our deepest desires and worst fears, bringing it into conscious awareness, so that we can see and release what no longer serves, or has become stale or toxic. Put another way: it helps us move from a \"survival mentality\" to a passionate engagement with life.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> Where in my life do I observe a \"survival mentality\"? In what ways have I protected myself from feelings of hurt or disempowerment?\r\n\r\nIt’s essential to bring conscious awareness to the walls we have built to feel protected and more “empowered”. Addressing past traumas and any sense of disempowerment is the only way to allow for the return of trust toward others (and life in general). By acknowledging our fears and breaking down those walls, we can transform into truly powerful beings of love and inner strength.\r\n\r\nWhat is <b>Scorpio\'s</b> shadow? Attachment to emotional connections (even if they are toxic) , avoidance of emotional pain, armoring and protecting ourselves from incidents of disempowerment that no longer exist outside of memory, trust issues, black-and-white thinking, addiction to drama and darkness (or substances)... and anything we want to prevent. Scorpio\'s shadow sees us coming from an instinctual, self-protective place, rather than from intuitive, love-based spaciousness.\r\n\r\n<b>Scorpio</b> wants to go beyond the surface, to our deeper motivations. For the next two weeks, <b>ask yourself:</b> Where do my intentions and efforts seem to get undermined? What propels my sense of attraction or repulsion? What turns me on about life? What scares me?\r\n\r\nSome <b>more questions:</b> What is coming to the surface? Could I simply allow it to? Could I temporarily suspend the need to judge it, \"understand\" it, get rid of it?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon Nodes in </i><b><i>Aquarius/Leo</i></b><i> are in a close Square to the Full Moon</i>. This creates a fixed  Grand Cross and therefore some tension -- it usually indicates a need for releasing old karmic patterns, on a collective and individual level.\r\n\r\nIf you find yourself becoming reactive within the next two weeks, <b>ask yourself:</b> Are these triggers in my relationships \"old\" or familiar? If I were completely honest with myself right now, might I find I was blowing things out of proportion a little bit? What if I took things 5% less personally, just as a brief experiment? Could I acknowledge how I feel that particular situation/feeling is part of my identity -- how it feels like it is about me or who I am? And just for right now, and just as best as I can, could I let go of that sense that \"it\'s personal\"?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon and Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> make a trine to Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>. This is a favorable aspect that supports our ability to release and heal old traumas while connecting us to our feminine energies in a supportive way; we see from new perspectives and are more able to deal with the darker side of things, through humor and a renewed approach.\r\n\r\nAllowing our fears to surface and bringing compassion and kindness to our feeling-body is a little easier for the next two weeks. <b>Ask yourself:</b> Just for today (or even just for right now), could I let go of \"survival mode\"? If I lowered my protective barriers by 5% and started to trust 5% more, what might shift in regards to intimacy with others? With myself? With life itself?\r\n\r\nHere is another exercise that you can try (I\'ve mentioned this in a previous video, but I think it\'s worth exploring again):\r\n\r\nImagine yourself in survival mode: What imagery comes to mind? Get quiet, and allow yourself to visualize your inner predator/protector. What does it look like? Could you have compassion and understanding towards that inner predator/protector?\r\n\r\nNow imagine yourself being passionately engaged with life, powerfully connected to your heart and your loving strength: What imagery comes to mind now? What does your Higher Self look like? Could you choose to embrace that divine nature fully, in this now moment?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars,</i> the traditional ruler of Scorpio,<i> </i><i>is currently in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> and aligns with Pluto </i>(the modern ruler of <b>Scorpio</b>).\r\n\r\nWe are therefore asked to look at our lives and our long-term plans. We seek empowerment from within, rather than the exertion of \"power\" over others. We are invited to act from \"the power of love\" vs. \"the love of power\" -- and remember that healthy \"self-love\" is also a form of… love! :)\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> How emotionally authentic am I being in my actions? Do I feel passionate about what I am building long-term? Am I consistently empowering <i>myself and</i> others? How am I doing at letting go of behaviors and impulses that arise from past trauma or a sense of threat?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars</i> supports us in taking actions that transform what no longer serves, and in building healthy foundations for those long-term goals. <b>Ask yourself: </b>What feels most satisfying to me personally? What are my priorities? What is my bottom line? What is the simplest next action that leads to manifesting all of that long-term? Are my actions motivated by <b>love</b> (wanting to thrive, to live full-out) or <b>fear</b> (wanting merely to protect myself and merely survive)?\r\n\r\n<i>Chiron moved into </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> just recently, and therefore the position of <i>Mars</i> is also connected to the \"Wounded Healer\". One of my hopes for the membership site was that it would free me up to make more special content for my members, and I\'m delighted to say that this is already happening. I just completed a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/chiron-in-aries-until-2027/\">special article on \"Chiron in Aries\"</a> that is only available to site Members, so please do check that out, if you haven\'t seen it yet ;-)\r\n\r\nOf course, my <i>Star</i> and <i>SuperStar Members</i> will also be automatically be invited to join the next Forecasting Forum, which will delve into Chiron\'s move into Aries in detail, looking at how it impacts our birth charts -- these membership levels can take part in the live webinar, and they also receive an emailed recording of the event (eligible members, please look out for those emails in your inbox -- you may want to flag them if they\'re going into your junk mail).\r\n\r\nIf you are a <i>Universal Member</i>, you can join us by registering <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">right here</a>... or you can also upgrade to <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\"><i>Star Membership</i></a> and join us for FREE, every month :-)\r\n\r\nAgain, we apply what happens every month to our own birth charts; in addition to Chiron’s journey through <strong>Aries</strong> until 2027, we\'ll also be looking at Uranus\'s upcoming journey through <strong>Taurus</strong>. Both of these transits promise major shifts ahead!\r\n\r\nThere\'s something else I\'d like to mention in connection with this Full Moon: <i>Saturn forms a Trine to the Sun in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> and a Sextile to the Moon in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>.</i><i> </i>\r\n\r\nThis makes it easier for us to recognize what we value most, and how to manifest it long-term in the real world -- partly by helping us stay focused on our priorities -- it is, in fact, a very favorable combination for manifesting things.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>Could focusing on my long-term goals actually help me balance physical and material priorities with any deeply emotional partnerships I may have with others? What if I brought a sense of responsibility to the table? What would being present right now do for my long-term goals?\r\n\r\nLastly, let\'s talk about <i>Venus,</i> the ruler of Taurus; she<i> </i><i>is currently in </i><b><i>Gemini.</i></b>\r\n\r\nThis has us seeking out mental stimulation: sharing, teaching, learning, writing, reading, etc…. We want to connect, learn, and share as much as possible... Note that Gemini is also connected to the media.\r\n\r\n<i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> squares Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> and makes a somewhat challenging aspect to the Mars/Pluto alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i><i> </i>\r\n\r\n<i>Venus squares Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>: </i><i>This </i>brings up the challenge of connecting the unconditional heart with the rational mind —  and challenges around introversion vs. extroversion, slow vs. fast, intuition vs. \"learning\". Not only that, with this combo, we may not always know if something is \"fact or fiction\".\r\n\r\nWe are being asked to stretch ourselves in order to resolve a tension between what our mind tells us we want, versus our need to tap into our intuitive sensing and feel our way through something. As best as you can, do not believe everything you hear -- whether externally (from others) or internally (from your own conditioned mind ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What might I hear if I listened to intuition before I share something? What if I listened to intuition while reading or watching something? What thoughts would I then share? What if I were 5% more appreciative and kind with myself and others -- especially when thoughts are being shared or processed?\r\n\r\n<b>Bonus questions:</b> What if learning was not a straight line? What if it was circular? Or like a  never-ending spiral?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus makes a somewhat challenging aspect to the Mars/Pluto alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn: </i></b><i>This</i> creates a tension and a challenge: we are called to make an effort, work hard, and learn. <b>Ask yourself: </b>Where do my words need more integrity? Might mental flexibility actually support my determination? If I made 5% more effort to choose the best words, what would that mean for my relationships? Is there anything I might not be fully allowing myself to acknowledge? What would I prefer stayed hidden to myself?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum  it all up:</b> This Full Moon reminds us that life and death are entwined, that every new beginning is an ending for something else, and vice versa. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What fears and traumas need to be investigated and made conscious, so I can be more in touch with my own worthiness, and better see my own value? What behaviors and habits need to come to an end and make way for me to create more abundance?\r\n\r\nLong-standing patterns demand to be addressed right now! The good news is that we have the persistence to do just that, and thereby step into a more fully empowered self-experience... As best as you can, therefore, release what you have outgrown, and focus where you <i>actually</i> have influence, rather than forcing things and struggling to change what you have no control over.\r\n\r\nSome <b>final questions</b>: What if there was a completely new approach to achieving “powerful leadership” in the world? What would such leadership bring about? What would long-term commitments based on trust, love and a genuine desire for a deeper, more authentic connection bring to life?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 7-12 degrees of</i><b><i> Taurus,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s Full Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>A head’s up for next Monday (April 30th):</strong> t<em>he Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </em><strong><em>Scorpio</em> all day</strong> (see Sunday early morning for details).

Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s thus an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your very best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free.

As a society, as people, as individuals... To learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, please click here to watch my video\r\n\r\nAll right, let\'s look at the signs involved in this polarity, beginning with <b>Taurus:</b>\r\n\r\nTaurus seeks comfort and material stability. It\'s concerned with our relationship to the planet, and with the physical plane in general -- and with a hugely important part of our relationship with ourselves, namely \"self-esteem\".\r\n\r\nOf course, <b>Taurus</b> also has a shadow side: attachment to material things, especially when using them to make up for low self-esteem, seeking to feel better about ourselves through indulging in physical pleasures -- and immovability -- wanting to keep things the same, usually so we don\'t experience physical discomfort.\r\n\r\n<b>Scorpio</b>, on the other hand, craves transformation — and it seeks this in part by putting us in touch with our deepest desires and worst fears, bringing it into conscious awareness, so that we can see and release what no longer serves, or has become stale or toxic. Put another way: it helps us move from a \"survival mentality\" to a passionate engagement with life.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> Where in my life do I observe a \"survival mentality\"? In what ways have I protected myself from feelings of hurt or disempowerment?\r\n\r\nIt’s essential to bring conscious awareness to the walls we have built to feel protected and more “empowered”. Addressing past traumas and any sense of disempowerment is the only way to allow for the return of trust toward others (and life in general). By acknowledging our fears and breaking down those walls, we can transform into truly powerful beings of love and inner strength.\r\n\r\nWhat is <b>Scorpio\'s</b> shadow? Attachment to emotional connections (even if they are toxic) , avoidance of emotional pain, armoring and protecting ourselves from incidents of disempowerment that no longer exist outside of memory, trust issues, black-and-white thinking, addiction to drama and darkness (or substances)... and anything we want to prevent. Scorpio\'s shadow sees us coming from an instinctual, self-protective place, rather than from intuitive, love-based spaciousness.\r\n\r\n<b>Scorpio</b> wants to go beyond the surface, to our deeper motivations. For the next two weeks, <b>ask yourself:</b> Where do my intentions and efforts seem to get undermined? What propels my sense of attraction or repulsion? What turns me on about life? What scares me?\r\n\r\nSome <b>more questions:</b> What is coming to the surface? Could I simply allow it to? Could I temporarily suspend the need to judge it, \"understand\" it, get rid of it?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon Nodes in </i><b><i>Aquarius/Leo</i></b><i> are in a close Square to the Full Moon</i>. This creates a fixed  Grand Cross and therefore some tension -- it usually indicates a need for releasing old karmic patterns, on a collective and individual level.\r\n\r\nIf you find yourself becoming reactive within the next two weeks, <b>ask yourself:</b> Are these triggers in my relationships \"old\" or familiar? If I were completely honest with myself right now, might I find I was blowing things out of proportion a little bit? What if I took things 5% less personally, just as a brief experiment? Could I acknowledge how I feel that particular situation/feeling is part of my identity -- how it feels like it is about me or who I am? And just for right now, and just as best as I can, could I let go of that sense that \"it\'s personal\"?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon and Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> make a trine to Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>. This is a favorable aspect that supports our ability to release and heal old traumas while connecting us to our feminine energies in a supportive way; we see from new perspectives and are more able to deal with the darker side of things, through humor and a renewed approach.\r\n\r\nAllowing our fears to surface and bringing compassion and kindness to our feeling-body is a little easier for the next two weeks. <b>Ask yourself:</b> Just for today (or even just for right now), could I let go of \"survival mode\"? If I lowered my protective barriers by 5% and started to trust 5% more, what might shift in regards to intimacy with others? With myself? With life itself?\r\n\r\nHere is another exercise that you can try (I\'ve mentioned this in a previous video, but I think it\'s worth exploring again):\r\n\r\nImagine yourself in survival mode: What imagery comes to mind? Get quiet, and allow yourself to visualize your inner predator/protector. What does it look like? Could you have compassion and understanding towards that inner predator/protector?\r\n\r\nNow imagine yourself being passionately engaged with life, powerfully connected to your heart and your loving strength: What imagery comes to mind now? What does your Higher Self look like? Could you choose to embrace that divine nature fully, in this now moment?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars,</i> the traditional ruler of Scorpio,<i> </i><i>is currently in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> and aligns with Pluto </i>(the modern ruler of <b>Scorpio</b>).\r\n\r\nWe are therefore asked to look at our lives and our long-term plans. We seek empowerment from within, rather than the exertion of \"power\" over others. We are invited to act from \"the power of love\" vs. \"the love of power\" -- and remember that healthy \"self-love\" is also a form of… love! :)\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> How emotionally authentic am I being in my actions? Do I feel passionate about what I am building long-term? Am I consistently empowering <i>myself and</i> others? How am I doing at letting go of behaviors and impulses that arise from past trauma or a sense of threat?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars</i> supports us in taking actions that transform what no longer serves, and in building healthy foundations for those long-term goals. <b>Ask yourself: </b>What feels most satisfying to me personally? What are my priorities? What is my bottom line? What is the simplest next action that leads to manifesting all of that long-term? Are my actions motivated by <b>love</b> (wanting to thrive, to live full-out) or <b>fear</b> (wanting merely to protect myself and merely survive)?\r\n\r\n<i>Chiron moved into </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> just recently, and therefore the position of <i>Mars</i> is also connected to the \"Wounded Healer\". One of my hopes for the membership site was that it would free me up to make more special content for my members, and I\'m delighted to say that this is already happening. I just completed a special article on \"Chiron in Aries\" that is only available to site Members, so please do check that out, if you haven\'t seen it yet ;-)\r\n\r\nOf course, my <i>Star</i> and <i>SuperStar Members</i> will also be automatically be invited to join the next Forecasting Forum, which will delve into Chiron\'s move into Aries in detail, looking at how it impacts our birth charts -- these membership levels can take part in the live webinar, and they also receive an emailed recording of the event (eligible members, please look out for those emails in your inbox -- you may want to flag them if they\'re going into your junk mail).\r\n\r\nIf you are a <i>Universal Member</i>, you can join us by registering on my website via the Home page... or you can also upgrade to <i>Star Membership</i> and join us for FREE, every month :-)\r\n\r\nAgain, we apply what happens every month to our own birth charts; in addition to Chiron’s journey through Aries until 2027, we\'ll also be looking at Uranus\'s upcoming journey through Taurus. Both of these transits promise major shifts ahead!\r\n\r\nThere\'s something else I\'d like to mention in connection with this Full Moon: <i>Saturn forms a Trine to the Sun in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> and a Sextile to the Moon in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>.</i><i> </i>\r\n\r\nThis makes it easier for us to recognize what we value most, and how to manifest it long-term in the real world -- partly by helping us stay focused on our priorities -- it is, in fact, a very favorable combination for manifesting things.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>Could focusing on my long-term goals actually help me balance physical and material priorities with any deeply emotional partnerships I may have with others? What if I brought a sense of responsibility to the table? What would being present right now do for my long-term goals?\r\n\r\nLastly, let\'s talk about <i>Venus,</i> the ruler of Taurus; she<i> </i><i>is currently in </i><b><i>Gemini.</i></b>\r\n\r\nThis has us seeking out mental stimulation: sharing, teaching, learning, writing, reading, etc…. We want to connect, learn, and share as much as possible... Note that Gemini is also connected to the media.\r\n\r\n<i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> squares Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> and makes a somewhat challenging aspect to the Mars/Pluto alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i><i> </i>\r\n\r\n<i>Venus squares Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>: </i><i>This </i>brings up the challenge of connecting the unconditional heart with the rational mind —  and challenges around introversion vs. extroversion, slow vs. fast, intuition vs. \"learning\". Not only that, with this combo, we may not always know if something is \"fact or fiction\".\r\n\r\nWe are being asked to stretch ourselves in order to resolve a tension between what our mind tells us we want, versus our need to tap into our intuitive sensing and feel our way through something. As best as you can, do not believe everything you hear -- whether externally (from others) or internally (from your own conditioned mind ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What might I hear if I listened to intuition before I share something? What if I listened to intuition while reading or watching something? What thoughts would I then share? What if I were 5% more appreciative and kind with myself and others -- especially when thoughts are being shared or processed?\r\n\r\n<b>Bonus questions:</b> What if learning was not a straight line? What if it was circular? Or like a  never-ending spiral?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus makes a somewhat challenging aspect to the Mars/Pluto alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn: </i></b><i>This</i> creates a tension and a challenge: we are called to make an effort, work hard, and learn. <b>Ask yourself: </b>Where do my words need more integrity? Might mental flexibility actually support my determination? If I made 5% more effort to choose the best words, what would that mean for my relationships? Is there anything I might not be fully allowing myself to acknowledge? What would I prefer stayed hidden to myself?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum  it all up:</b> This Full Moon reminds us that life and death are entwined, that every new beginning is an ending for something else, and vice versa. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What fears and traumas need to be investigated and made conscious, so I can be more in touch with my own worthiness, and better see my own value? What behaviors and habits need to come to an end and make way for me to create more abundance?\r\n\r\nLong-standing patterns demand to be addressed right now! The good news is that we have the persistence to do just that, and thereby step into a more fully empowered self-experience... As best as you can, therefore, release what you have outgrown, and focus where you <i>actually</i> have influence, rather than forcing things and struggling to change what you have no control over.\r\n\r\nSome <b>final questions</b>: What if there was a completely new approach to achieving “powerful leadership” in the world? What would such leadership bring about? What would long-term commitments based on trust, love and a genuine desire for a deeper, more authentic connection bring to life?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 7-12 degrees of</i><b><i> Taurus,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s Full Moon.

What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday night/</strong>Tuesday very early morning<strong>,</strong> <em>an opportune Mars/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:13am EDT.<strong> </strong><strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday evening (April 20th) on; it will be strong until Friday morning (April 27th). </strong>This aspect is an opportunity for us to tap into our optimism, enthusiasm, and sense of expansion. We are more likely to connect with others in an active and fun way.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe feel stronger, more assertive, and more straightforward -- and this goes over well with others. As with all opportunities in life, this one is not simply handed to us, we have to make something of it. What actions could you take right now, that would help create a deeper connection to others?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in <em>18-22 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Scorpio, </i></b><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (April 24th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em><strong> until 4:40pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 12:40pm EDT,</strong> <i>Venus changes signs from steady, calm, sensual</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>to chatty, social, versatile</i> <b><i>Gemini.</i></b> Venus, the energy of love, “relating\" and finances will journey through Gemini <strong>until May 19th.</strong> For the next 3.5 weeks, we value mental stimulation and frequent changes of scenery in our love relationships.\r\n\r\nWe love connecting and sharing ourselves with others. As long as we don\'t get bored, we will stick around -- but as soon as we disengage mentally, we begin to thirst for interesting conversations with new people, in new places and/or situations. Love is playful and lighthearted for the next 3.5 weeks and humor plays a part in all our relationships.\r\n\r\nOur finances might fluctuate at this time, as we don\'t invest in anything for long enough to know whether it would have actually made a profit. That said, this sign-change actually favors financial transactions that benefit from rapidity, or from widely dispersed resources -- it\'s a great time for short-term investments.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, stay open-minded and flexible toward love and finances. Curiosity towards life and love is a great gift as Venus moves through Gemini -- you never know where things will go at this time — and if nothing else, that attitude makes it hard to be bored for even a second ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel more chatty for the next 3.5 weeks. Your heart will want to connect with friends and have several activities going all at once.

You may also want to plan Tuesday afternoon ahead of time.<span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"> (Moon trines Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 4:40pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Thursday evening</strong>; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<b> </b><b>\r\n</b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday evening,</strong> <em>an opportune Venus/Chiron aspect becomes exact</em> at 8:41pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Sunday night (April 22nd) on; it will be strong until Thursday (April 26th). </strong>It\'s an opportunity to bring healing to our wounds around relationships or our sense of self-worth.\r\n\r\nWe get a chance to love ourselves and heal deep fears of not being \"good enough\". Healing happens much faster when we can open to forgiving ourselves and others. As best as you can, bring compassion and understanding to yourself, to others, and to those past experiences that wounded you.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>28-2 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Gemini, Aries, Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Libra </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso<strong> on Tuesday,</strong> although now retrograde, <i>Saturn resumes its normal pace through the sky, ending its station</i>. What came up in the last two weeks around any commitments to build something long-term? How about the need to be more realistic? How truthful are you with yourself about \"where you\'re at\"? The retrograde phase is a good time to do some internal work in these areas (the retrograde ends on Sept. 6th).\r\n\r\nWe now have 4.5 months to go over recently built business structures, to see if they are aligned with our inner truth. We are also now ready to contemplate solutions for whatever was \"in our face\" from April 9th until now -- solutions that work well both with our inner truth and our outer reality.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (April 25th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday early evening,</strong> <em>a challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:28pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday late morning (April 20th) on; it will remain strong until Saturday evening (April 28th). </strong>Due to the Mercury Retrograde phase that just ended recently, we get to experience this aspect several times; this is the third and last pass within the last 6.5 weeks. This gives us a chance to address our approach toward any misunderstandings.\r\n\r\nThis aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature. Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce. <strong>Ask yourself</strong>: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to your passions, while remaining committed to exploring them one step at a time. What is my life calling me to explore? Could I go for it (one step at a time)?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>6-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn,<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

You may also want to plan Thursday all day and evening ahead of time. <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon trines Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning,</strong> <em>a Mars/Pluto alignment in 21 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> becomes exact at 7:00am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday morning (April 19th) on, it will remain strong until Tuesday evening (May 1st). </strong>This alignment connects our personal will to the Universal Will. If we feel the need to connect to something, we will feel it passionately, especially when it comes to our long-term goals and our public image.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe may feel impatient (or even obsessive) right now about our career goals. Suppressed desires surface; we will need to take actions on them, one way or another. If you are able to connect -- body and soul -- to that passion, you will be able to move towards a much higher goal. This may be a goal that is truly connected to the whole of you, perhaps even to your Soul Purpose for this lifetime.\r\n\r\nMars last aligned with Pluto in mid-October, 2016; unresolved issues from that period can now move to the next level. What were you up to back then? What does the next level look like for those ventures? What is a simple step you could take to move them there?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in <em>18-24 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this aspect more strongly than otherwise. </i><i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Mars\'s movements and aspects; Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio, so they likewise feel Pluto\'s movements and aspects more strongly)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 9:13pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday very early morning. </strong>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating -- and though these next two days are a great time for mediation, our need for peace (and aversion to direct conflict) could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might prefer.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe may also be able see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions.

Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday very early morning ahead of time. <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (April 29th)</strong><strong> at 3:11am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Tuesday late morning</strong>. We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s therefore an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can therefore be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your very best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> This Moon placement also starts the build up towards the Full Moon (exact later this evening)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning,</strong> <em>a harmonious Sun/Saturn alignment</em> becomes exact at 6:04am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday night (April 23rd) on; it will be strong until next week, Wednesday (May 2nd). </strong>Commitment and discipline are the keys to understanding our heart\'s desire right now. We face life on life\'s terms and feel up to doing so (especially when it comes to our creative self-expression).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What could I achieve if I brought 5% more joy to my long-term plans?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nParadoxically, we can also bring a more mature approach to exploring our \"inner child\" energy. How might a supportive \"inner parent\" help your \"inner child\" feel safe to play?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>6-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? Or your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)? If either of those is true, you can expect to be more blessed by this aspect :-)</i>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned earlier, the entrance of the <i>Moon into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b> started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon;</i> this will be exact today <b>(Sunday</b><b>, April 29th) at 8:58pm EDT  </b><i>in 9.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>.\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon shows us what we must release,  if we are to manifest what was started at the time of the New Moon that occurred  shortly after April 15th.\r\n\r\nFor the next two weeks, we seek the balance and integration of two polarities -- and are more aware<b> </b>of something that needs to be brought into alignment. The balance in question is between our physical attachments/connections -- symbolized by <b>Taurus</b> -- and our emotional attachments/connections (<b>Scorpio</b>).\r\n\r\nThe time of any Full Moon is always more extroverted and emotional; this particular one invites us to let go of fears, and thereby break through to the next level of our evolution.\r\n\r\nSo, here\'s this Full Moon\'s central question: What do we really want? As a society, as people, as individuals...

It\'s concerned with our relationship to the planet, and with the physical plane in general -- and with a hugely important part of our relationship with ourselves, namely \"self-esteem\".\r\n\r\nOf course, <b>Taurus</b> also has a shadow side: attachment to material things, especially when using them to make up for low self-esteem, seeking to feel better about ourselves through indulging in physical pleasures -- and immovability -- wanting to keep things the same, usually so we don\'t experience physical discomfort.\r\n\r\n<b>Scorpio</b>, on the other hand, craves transformation — and it seeks this in part by putting us in touch with our deepest desires and worst fears, bringing it into conscious awareness, so that we can see and release what no longer serves, or has become stale or toxic. Put another way: it helps us move from a \"survival mentality\" to a passionate engagement with life.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> Where in my life do I observe a \"survival mentality\"? In what ways have I protected myself from feelings of hurt or disempowerment?\r\n\r\nIt’s essential to bring conscious awareness to the walls we have built to feel protected and more “empowered”. Addressing past traumas and any sense of disempowerment is the only way to allow for the return of trust toward others (and life in general). By acknowledging our fears and breaking down those walls, we can transform into truly powerful beings of love and inner strength.\r\n\r\nWhat is <b>Scorpio\'s</b> shadow? Attachment to emotional connections (even if they are toxic) , avoidance of emotional pain, armoring and protecting ourselves from incidents of disempowerment that no longer exist outside of memory, trust issues, black-and-white thinking, addiction to drama and darkness (or substances)... and anything we want to prevent. Scorpio\'s shadow sees us coming from an instinctual, self-protective place, rather than from intuitive, love-based spaciousness.\r\n\r\n<b>Scorpio</b> wants to go beyond the surface, to our deeper motivations. For the next two weeks, <b>ask yourself:</b> Where do my intentions and efforts seem to get undermined? What propels my sense of attraction or repulsion? What turns me on about life? What scares me?\r\n\r\nSome <b>more questions:</b> What is coming to the surface? Could I simply allow it to? Could I temporarily suspend the need to judge it, \"understand\" it, get rid of it?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon Nodes in </i><b><i>Aquarius/Leo</i></b><i> are in a close Square to the Full Moon</i>. This creates a fixed  Grand Cross and therefore some tension -- it usually indicates a need for releasing old karmic patterns, on a collective and individual level.\r\n\r\nIf you find yourself becoming reactive within the next two weeks, <b>ask yourself:</b> Are these triggers in my relationships \"old\" or familiar? If I were completely honest with myself right now, might I find I was blowing things out of proportion a little bit? What if I took things 5% less personally, just as a brief experiment? Could I acknowledge how I feel that particular situation/feeling is part of my identity -- how it feels like it is about me or who I am? And just for right now, and just as best as I can, could I let go of that sense that \"it\'s personal\"?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon and Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> make a trine to Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>. This is a favorable aspect that supports our ability to release and heal old traumas, while connecting us to our feminine energies in a supportive way; we see from new perspectives and are more able to deal with the darker side of things, through humor and a renewed approach.\r\n\r\nAllowing our fears to surface and bringing compassion and kindness to our feeling-body is a little easier for the next two weeks. <b>Ask yourself:</b> Just for today (or even just for right now), could I let go of \"survival mode\"? If I lowered my protective barriers by 5%, and started to trust 5% more, what might shift in regards to intimacy with others? With myself? With life itself?\r\n\r\nHere is another exercise that you can try (I\'ve mentioned this in a previous video, but I think it\'s worth exploring again):\r\n\r\nImagine yourself in survival mode: What imagery comes to mind? Get quiet, and allow yourself to visualize your inner predator/protector. What does it look like? Could you have compassion and understanding towards that inner predator/protector?\r\n\r\nNow imagine yourself being passionately engaged with life, powerfully connected to your heart and your loving strength: What imagery comes to mind now? What does your Higher Self look like? Could you choose to embrace that divine nature fully, in this now moment?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars,</i> the traditional ruler of Scorpio,<i> </i><i>is currently in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, and aligns with Pluto </i>(the modern ruler of <b>Scorpio</b>).\r\n\r\nWe are therefore asked to look at our lives and our long-term plans. We seek empowerment from within, rather than the exertion of \"power\" over others. We are  invited to act from \"the power of love\" vs. \"the love of power\" -- and remember that healthy \"self-love\" is also a form of… love! :)\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> How emotionally authentic am I being in my actions? Do I feel passionate about what I am building long-term? Am I consistently empowering <i>myself and</i> others? How am I doing at letting go of behaviors and impulses that arise from past trauma or a sense of threat?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars</i> supports us in taking actions that transform what no longer serves, and in building healthy foundations for those long-term goals. <b>Ask yourself: </b>What feels most satisfying to me personally? What are my priorities? What is my bottom line? What is the simplest next action that leads to manifesting all of that long-term? Are my actions motivated by <b>love</b> (wanting to thrive, to live full-out) or <b>fear</b> (wanting merely to protect myself and merely survive)?\r\n\r\n<i>Chiron moved into </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> just recently, and therefore the position of <i>Mars</i> is also connected to the \"Wounded Healer\". One of my hopes for the membership site was that it would free me up to make more special content for my members, and I\'m delighted to say that this is already happening. I just completed a special article on \"Chiron in Aries\" that is only available to site Members, so please do check that out, if you haven\'t seen it yet ;-)\r\n\r\nOf course, my <i>Star</i> and <i>SuperStar Members</i> will also be automatically be invited to join the next Forecasting Forum, which will delve into Chiron\'s move into Aries in detail, looking at how it impacts our birth charts -- these membership levels can take part in the live webinar, and they also receive an emailed recording of the event (eligible members, please look out for those emails in your inbox -- you may want to flag them if they\'re going into your junk mail).\r\n\r\nIf you are a <i>Universal Member</i>, you can join us by registering on my website via the Home page... or you can also upgrade to <i>Star Membership</i> and join us for FREE, every month :-)\r\n\r\nAgain, we apply what happens every month to our own birth charts; in addition to Chiron’s journey through Aries until 2027, we\'ll also be looking at Uranus\'s upcoming journey through Taurus. Both of these transits promise major shifts ahead!\r\n\r\nThere\'s something else I\'d like to mention in connection with this Full Moon: <i>Saturn forms a Trine to the Sun in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> and a Sextile to the Moon in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>.</i><i> </i>\r\n\r\nThis makes it easier for us to recognize what we value most, and how to manifest it long-term in the real world -- partly by helping us stay focused on our priorities -- it is in fact a very favorable combination for manifesting things.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>Could focusing on my long-term goals actually help me balance physical and material priorities with any deeply emotional partnerships I may have with others? What if I brought a sense of responsibility to the table? What would being present right now do for my long-term goals?\r\n\r\nLastly, let\'s talk about <i>Venus,</i> the ruler of Taurus; she<i> </i><i>is currently in </i><b><i>Gemini.</i></b>\r\n\r\nThis has us seeking out mental stimulation: sharing, teaching, learning, writing, reading, etc…. We want to connect, learn, and share as much as possible... Note that Gemini is also connected to the media.\r\n\r\n<i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> squares Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> and makes a somewhat challenging aspect to the Mars/Pluto alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i><i> </i>\r\n\r\n<i>Venus squares Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>: </i><i>This </i>brings up the challenge between connecting the unconditional heart with the rational mind —  and between introverted vs. extroverted, slow vs. fast, intuition vs. \"learning\". Not only that, with this combo, we may not always know if something is \"fact or fiction\".\r\n\r\nWe are being asked to stretch ourselves in order to resolve a tension between what our mind tells us we want, versus our need to tap into our intuitive sensing and feel our way through something. As best as you can, do not believe everything you hear -- whether externally (from others) or internally (from your own conditioned mind ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What might I hear if I listened to intuition before I share something? What if I listened to intuition while reading or watching something? What thoughts would I then share? What if I were 5% more appreciative and kind with myself and others -- especially when thoughts are being shared or processed?\r\n\r\n<b>Bonus questions:</b> What if learning was not a straight line? What if it was circular? Or like a  never-ending spiral?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus makes a somewhat challenging aspect to the Mars/Pluto alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn: </i></b><i>This</i> creates a tension and a challenge: we are called to make an effort, work hard, and learn. <b>Ask yourself: </b>Where do my words need more integrity? Might mental flexibility actually support my determination? If I made 5% more effort to choose the best words, what would that mean for my relationships? Is there anything I might not be fully allowing myself to acknowledge? What would I prefer stayed hidden to myself?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum  it all up:</b> This Full Moon reminds us that life and death are entwined, that every new beginning is an ending for something else, and vice versa. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What fears and traumas need to be investigated and made conscious, so I can be more in touch with my own worthiness, and better see my own value? What behaviors and habits need to come to an end and make way for me to create more abundance?\r\n\r\nLong-standing patterns demand to be addressed right now! The good news is that we have the persistence to do just that, and thereby step into a more fully empowered self-experience... As best as you can therefore, release what you have outgrown, and focus where you <i>actually</i> have influence, rather than forcing things and struggling to change what you have no control over.\r\n\r\nSome <b>final questions</b>: What if there was a completely new approach to achieving “powerful leadership” in the world? What would such leadership bring about? What would long-term commitments based on trust, love and a genuine desire for a deeper, more authentic connection bring to life?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 7-12 degrees of</i><b><i> Taurus,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s Full Moon.

What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday night/</strong>Tuesday very early morning<strong>,</strong> <em>an opportune Mars/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:13am EDT.<strong> </strong><strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday evening (April 20th) on; it will be strong until Friday morning (April 27th). </strong>This aspect is an opportunity for us to tap into our optimism, enthusiasm and sense of expansion. We are more likely to connect with others in an active and fun way.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe feel stronger, more assertive, and more straightforward -- and this goes over well with others. As with all opportunities in life, this one is not simply handed to us, we have to make something of it. What actions could you take right now, that would help create a deeper connection to others?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in <em>18-22 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Scorpio, </i></b><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (April 24th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em><strong> until 4:40pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 12:40pm EDT,</strong> <i>Venus changes signs from steady, calm, sensual</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>to chatty, social, versatile</i> <b><i>Gemini.</i></b> Venus, the energy of love, “relating\" and finances will journey through Gemini <strong>until May 19th.</strong> For the next 3.5 weeks, we value mental stimulation and frequent changes of scenery in our love relationships.\r\n\r\nWe love connecting and sharing ourselves with others. As long as we don\'t get bored, we will stick around -- but as soon as we disengage mentally, we begin to thirst for interesting conversations with new people, in new places and/or situations. Love is playful and lighthearted for the next 3.5 weeks and humor plays a part in all our relationships.\r\n\r\nOur finances might fluctuate at this time, as we don\'t invest in anything for long enough to know whether it would have actually made a profit. That said, this sign-change actually favors financial transactions that benefit from speed, or wide dispersal of resources -- it\'s a great time for short-term investments.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, stay open-minded and flexible toward love and finances. Curiosity towards life and love is a great gift as Venus moves through Gemini -- you never know where things will go at this time — and if nothing else, that attitude makes it hard to be bored for even a second ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel more chatty for the next 3.5 weeks. Your heart will want to connect to friends and have several activities going all at once. Learning or teaching something new might be just the thing for you to do right now. If you are a</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to have more love and beauty in your life for as long as Venus is in your sign</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 2:40pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 2 hours, <strong>until 4:40pm EDT</strong>. During this intuitive time, have fun connecting with others and doing things that bring you joy — explore something different, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday afternoon ahead of time.<span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"> (Moon trines Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 4:40pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Thursday evening</strong>; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<b> </b><b>\r\n</b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday evening,</strong> <em>an opportune Venus/Chiron aspect becomes exact</em> at 8:41pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Sunday night (April 22nd) on; it will be strong until Thursday (April 26th). </strong>It\'s an opportunity to bring healing to our wounds around relationships or our sense of self-worth.\r\n\r\nWe get a chance to love ourselves and heal deep fears of not being \"good enough\". Healing happens much faster when we can open to forgiving ourselves and others. As best as you can, bring compassion and understanding to yourself, to others, and to those past experiences that wounded you.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>28-2 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Gemini, Aries, Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Libra </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso<strong> on Tuesday,</strong> although now retrograde, <i>Saturn resumes its normal pace through the sky, ending its station</i>. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">What has come up in the last two weeks, around commitments to build something long-term, and the need to be more realistic?</span> <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">How truthful are you with yourself, in regards to were you are at?</span> The retrograde phase is a good time to do some internal work in these areas (the retrograde ends on Sept. 6th).\r\n\r\nWe now have 4.5 months to go over recently built business structures, to see if they are aligned with our inner truth. We are also now ready to contemplate solutions for whatever was \"in our face\" from April 9th until now -- solutions that work well both with our inner truth and our outer reality.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (April 25th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday early evening,</strong> <em>a challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:28pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday late morning (April 20th) on; it will remain strong until Saturday evening (April 28th). </strong>Due to the Mercury Retrograde phase that just need recently, we get to experience this aspect several times; this is the third and last pass within the last 6.5 weeks. This gives us a chance to address our approach toward any misunderstandings.\r\n\r\nThis aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature. Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce. <strong>Ask yourself</strong>: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to your passions, while remaining committed to exploring them one step at a time. What is my life calling me to explore? Could I go for it (one step at a time)?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>6-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn,<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

You may also want to plan Thursday all day and evening ahead of time. <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon trines Pluto in <strong>Capricorn</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning,</strong> <em>a Mars/Pluto alignment in 21 degress of <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> becomes exact at 7:00am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday morning (April 19th) on, it will remain strong until Tuesday evening (May 1st). </strong>This alignment connects our personal will to the Universal Will. If we feel the need to connect to something, we will feel it passionately, especially when it comes to our long-term goals and our public image.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe may feel impatient (or even obsessive) right now about our career goals. Suppressed desires surface; we will need to take actions on them, one way or another. If you are able to connect -- body and soul -- to that passion, you will be able to move towards a much higher goal. This may be a goal that is truthfully connected to the whole of you, perhaps even to your Soul Purpose for this lifetime.\r\n\r\nMars last aligned with Pluto in mid Oct. of 2016; unresolved issues from that period can now move to the next level.

Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday very early morning ahead of time. <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon opposes Uranus in <strong>Aries</strong>).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (April 29th)</strong><strong> at 3:11am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Tuesday late morning</strong>. We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s therefore an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can therefore be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so as best you can, be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> This Moon placement also starts the build up towards the Full Moon (exact later this evening)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning,</strong> <em>a harmonious Sun/Saturn alignment</em> becomes exact at 6:04am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday night (April 23rd) on; it will be strong until next week, Wednesday (May 2nd). </strong>Commitment and discipline are the keys to understanding our heart\'s desire right now. We face life on life\'s terms and feel up to doing so (especially when it comes to our creative self-expression).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What could I achieve if I brought 5% more joy to my long-term plans?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nParadoxically, we can also bring a more mature approach to exploring our \"inner child\" energy. How might a supportive \"inner parent\" help your \"inner child\" feel safe to play?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>6-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? Or your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)? If either of those is true, you can expect to be more blessed by this aspect :-)</i>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned earlier, the entrance of the <i>Moon into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b> started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon;</i> this will be exact today <b>(Sunday</b><b>, April 29th) at 8:58pm EDT  </b><i>in 9.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>.\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon shows us what we must release,  if we are to manifest what was started at the time of the New Moon that occurred  shortly after April 15th.\r\n\r\nFor the next two weeks, we seek the balance and integration of two polarities -- and are more aware<b> </b>of something that needs to be brought into alignment. The balance in question is between our physical attachments/connections -- symbolized by <b>Taurus</b> -- and our emotional attachments/connections (<b>Scorpio</b>).\r\n\r\nThe time of any Full Moon is always more extroverted and emotional; this particular one invites us to let go of fears, and thereby break through to the next level of our evolution.\r\n\r\nSo, here\'s this Full Moon\'s central question: What do we really want? As a society, as people, as individuals... To learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, please click here to watch my video\r\n\r\nAll right, let\'s look at the signs involved in this polarity, beginning with <b>Taurus:</b>\r\n\r\nTaurus seeks comfort and material stability. It\'s concerned with our relationship to the planet, and with the physical plane in general -- and with a hugely important part of our relationship with ourselves, namely \"self-esteem\".\r\n\r\nOf course, <b>Taurus</b> also has a shadow side: attachment to material things, especially when using them to make up for low self-esteem, seeking to feel better about ourselves through indulging in physical pleasures -- and immovability -- wanting to keep things the same, usually so we don\'t experience physical discomfort.\r\n\r\n<b>Scorpio</b>, on the other hand, craves transformation — and it seeks this in part by putting us in touch with our deepest desires and worst fears, bringing it into conscious awareness, so that we can see and release what no longer serves, or has become stale or toxic. Put another way: it helps us move from a \"survival mentality\" to a passionate engagement with life.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Where in my life do I observe a \"survival mentality\"? In what ways am I protecting myself from feeling hurt or disempowered?</span>\r\n\r\nIt’s essential to bring conscious awareness to the walls we have built to feel protected and more “empowered”. Addressing past traumas and any sense of disempowerment is the only way to allow for the return of trust toward others (and life in general). By acknowledging our fears and breaking down those walls, we can transform into truly powerful beings of love and inner strength.\r\n\r\nWhat is <b>Scorpio\'s</b> shadow? Attachment to emotional connections (even if they are toxic) , avoidance of emotional pain, armoring and protecting ourselves from incidents of disempowerment that no longer exist outside of memory, trust issues, black-and-white thinking, addiction to drama and darkness (or substances)... and anything we want to prevent. Scorpio\'s shadow sees us coming from an instinctual, self-protective place, rather than from intuitive, love-based spaciousness.\r\n\r\n<b>Scorpio</b> wants to go beyond the surface, to our deeper motivations. For the next two weeks, <b>ask yourself:</b> Where do my intentions and efforts seem to get undermined? What propels my sense of attraction or repulsion? What turns me on about life? What scares me?\r\n\r\nSome <b>more questions:</b> What is coming to the surface? Could I simply allow it to? Could I temporarily suspend the need to judge it, \"understand\" it, get rid of it?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon Nodes in </i><b><i>Aquarius/Leo</i></b><i> are in a close Square to the Full Moon</i>. This creates a fixed  Grand Cross and therefore some tension -- it usually indicates a need for releasing old karmic patterns, on a collective and individual level.\r\n\r\nIf you find yourself becoming reactive within the next two weeks, <b>ask yourself:</b> Are these triggers in my relationships \"old\" or familiar? If I were completely honest with myself right now, might I find I was blowing things out of proportion a little bit? What if I took things 5% less personally, just as a brief experiment? Could I acknowledge how I feel that particular situation/feeling is part of my identity -- how it feels like it is about me or who I am? And just for right now, and just as best as I can, could I let go of that sense that \"it\'s personal\"?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon and Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> make a trine to Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>. This is a favorable aspect that supports our ability to release and heal old traumas, while connecting us to our feminine energies in a supportive way; we see from new perspectives and are more able to deal with the darker side of things, through humor and a renewed approach.\r\n\r\nAllowing our fears to surface and bringing compassion and kindness to our feeling-body is a little easier for the next two weeks. <b>Ask yourself:</b> Just for today (or even just for right now), could I let go of \"survival mode\"? If I lowered my protective barriers by 5%, and started to trust 5% more, what might shift in regards to intimacy with others? With myself? With life itself?\r\n\r\nHere is another exercise that you can try (I\'ve mentioned this in a previous video, but I think it\'s worth exploring again):\r\n\r\nImagine yourself in survival mode: What imagery comes to mind? Get quiet, and allow yourself to visualize your inner predator/protector. What does it look like? Could you have compassion and understanding towards that inner predator/protector?\r\n\r\nNow imagine yourself being passionately engaged with life, powerfully connected to your heart and your loving strength: What imagery comes to mind now? What does your Higher Self look like? Could you choose to embrace that divine nature fully, in this now moment?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars,</i> the traditional ruler of Scorpio,<i> </i><i>is currently in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, and aligns with Pluto </i>(the modern ruler of <b>Scorpio</b>).\r\n\r\nWe are therefore asked to look at our lives and our long-term plans. We seek empowerment from within, rather than exertion of \"power\" over others. We are  invited to act from \"the power of love\" vs. \"the love of power\" -- and remember that healthy \"self-love\" is also a form of… love! :)\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> How emotionally authentic am I being in my actions? Do I feel passionate about what I am building long-term? Am I consistently empowering <i>myself and</i> others? How am I doing at letting go of behaviors and impulses that arise from past trauma or a sense of threat?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars</i> supports us in taking actions that transform what no longer serves, and in building healthy foundations for those long-term goals. <b>Ask yourself: </b>What feels most satisfying to me personally? What are my priorities? What is my bottom line? What is the simplest next action that leads to manifesting all of that long-term? <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Are my actions motivated by <b>love</b> (wanting to thrive/to live full-out) or <b>fear</b> (wanting to survive/protect myself)?</span>\r\n\r\n<i>Chiron moved into </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> just recently, and therefore the position of <i>Mars</i> is also connected to the \"Wounded Healer\". One of my hopes for the membership site was that it would free me up to make more special content for my members, and I\'m delighted to say that this is already happening. I just completed a special article on \"Chiron in Aries\" that is only available to site Members, so please do check that out, if you haven\'t seen it yet ;-)\r\n\r\nOf course, my <i>Star</i> and <i>SuperStar Members</i> will also be automatically be invited to join the next Forecasting Forum, which will delve into Chiron\'s move into Aries in detail, looking at how it impacts our birth charts -- these membership levels can take part in the live webinar, and they also receive an emailed recording of the event (eligible members, please look out for those emails in your inbox -- you may want to flag them if they\'re going into your junk mail).\r\n\r\nIf you are a <i>Universal Member</i>, you can join us by registering on my website via the Home page... or you can also upgrade to <i>Star Membership</i> and join us for FREE, every month :-)\r\n\r\nAgain, we apply what happens every month to our own birth charts; in addition to Chiron’s journey through Aries until 2027, we\'ll also be looking at Uranus\'s upcoming journey through Taurus. Both of these transits promise major shifts ahead!\r\n\r\nThere\'s something else I\'d like to mention in connection with this Full Moon: <i>Saturn forms a Trine to the Sun in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> and a Sextile to the Moon in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>.</i><i> </i>\r\n\r\nThis makes it easier for us to recognize what we value most, and how to manifest it long-term in the real world -- partly by helping us stay focused on our priorities -- it is in fact a very favorable combination for manifesting things.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>Could focusing on my long-term goals actually help me balance <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">any physical/material priorities I have</span> with my deep emotional <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">partnerships</span> with others? What if I brought a sense of responsibility to the table? What would being present right now do for my long-term goals?\r\n\r\nLastly, let\'s talk about <i>Venus,</i> the ruler of Taurus; she<i> </i><i>is currently in </i><b><i>Gemini.</i></b>\r\n\r\nThis has us seeking out mental stimulation: sharing, teaching, learning, writing, reading, etc…. We want to connect, learn, and share as much as possible... Note that Gemini is also connected to the media.\r\n\r\n<i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> squares Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> and makes a somewhat challenging aspect to the Mars/Pluto alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i><i> </i>\r\n\r\n<i>Venus squares Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>: </i><i>This </i>brings up the challenge between connecting the unconditional heart with the rational mind —  and between introverted vs. extroverted, slow vs. fast, intuition vs. \"learning\". Not only that, with this combo, we may not always know if something is \"fact or fiction\".\r\n\r\nWe are being asked to stretch ourselves in order to resolve a tension between what our mind tells us we want, versus our need to tap into our intuitive sensing and feel our way through something. As best as you can, do not believe everything you hear -- whether externally (from others) or internally (from your own conditioned mind ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What might I hear if I listened to intuition before I share something? What if I listened to intuition while reading or watching something? What thoughts would I then share? What if I were 5% more appreciative and kind with myself and others -- especially when thoughts are being shared or processed?\r\n\r\n<b>Bonus questions:</b> What if learning was not a straight line? What if it was circular? Or like a  never-ending spiral?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus makes a somewhat challenging aspect to the Mars/Pluto alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn: </i></b><i>This</i> creates a tension and a challenge: we are called to make an effort, work hard, and learn. <b>Ask yourself: </b>Where do my words need more integrity? Might mental flexibility actually support my determination? If I made 5% more effort to choose the best words, what would that mean for my relationships? Is there anything I might not be fully allowing myself to acknowledge? What would I prefer stayed hidden to myself?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum  it all up:</b> This Full Moon reminds us that life and death are entwined, that every new beginning is an ending for something else, and vice versa. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What fears and traumas need to be investigated and made conscious, so I can be more in touch with my own worthiness, and better see my own value? What behaviors and habits need to come to an end and make way for me to create more abundance?\r\n\r\nLong-standing patterns demand to be addressed right now! The good news is that we have the <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">persistence</span> to do just that, and thereby step into a more fully empowered self-experience... As best as you can therefore, release what you have outgrown, and focus where you <i>actually</i> have influence, rather than forcing things and struggling to change what you have no control over.\r\n\r\nSome <b>final questions</b>: What would a completely new approach to achieving <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">“powerful leadership”</span> in the world bring about? What would long-term commitments based on trust, love and a genuine desire for a deeper, more authentic connection bring to life?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 7-12 degrees of</i><b><i> Taurus,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>?

Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s therefore an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can therefore be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so as best you can, be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> This Moon placement also starts the build up towards the Full Moon (exact later this evening)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning,</strong> <em>a harmonious Sun/Saturn alignment</em> becomes exact at 6:04am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday night (April 23rd) on; it will be strong until next week, Wednesday (May 2nd). </strong>Commitment and discipline are the keys to understanding our heart\'s desire right now.

How might a supportive \"inner parent\" help your \"inner child\" feel safe to play?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>6-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

If either of those is true, you can expect to be more blessed by this aspect :-)</i>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned earlier, the entrance of the <i>Moon into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b> started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon;</i> this will be exact today <b>(Sunday</b><b>, April 29th) at 8:58pm EDT  </b><i>in 9.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>.\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon shows us what we must release,  if we are to manifest what was started at the time of the New Moon that occurred  shortly after April 15th.\r\n\r\nFor the next two weeks, we seek the balance and integration of two polarities -- and are more aware<b> </b>of something that needs to be brought into alignment. The balance in question is between our physical attachments/connections -- symbolized by <b>Taurus</b> -- and our emotional attachments/connections (<b>Scorpio</b>).\r\n\r\nThe time of any Full Moon is always more extroverted and emotional; this particular one invites us to let go of fears, and thereby break through to the next level of our evolution.\r\n\r\nSo, here\'s this Full Moon\'s central question: What do we really want? As a society, as people, as individuals... To learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, please click here to watch my video\r\n\r\nAll right, let\'s look at the signs involved in this polarity, beginning with <b>Taurus:</b>\r\n\r\nTaurus seeks comfort and material stability. It\'s concerned with our relationship to the planet, and with the physical plane in general -- and with a hugely important part of our relationship with ourselves, namely \"self-esteem\".\r\n\r\nOf course, <b>Taurus</b> also has a shadow side: attachment to material things, especially when using them to make up for low self-esteem, seeking to feel better about ourselves through indulging in physical pleasures -- and immovability -- wanting to keep things the same, usually so we don\'t experience physical discomfort.\r\n\r\n<b>Scorpio</b>, on the other hand, craves transformation — and it seeks this in part by putting us in touch with our deepest desires and worst fears, bringing it into conscious awareness, so that we can see and release what no longer serves, or has become stale or toxic. Put another way: it helps us move from a \"survival mentality\" to a passionate engagement with life.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Where in my life do I observe a \"survival mentality\"? In what ways am I protecting myself from feeling hurt or disempowered?</span>\r\n\r\nIt’s essential to bring conscious awareness to the walls we have built to feel protected and more “empowered”. Addressing past traumas and any sense of disempowerment is the only way to allow for the return of trust toward others (and life in general). By acknowledging our fears and breaking down those walls, we can transform into truly powerful beings of love and inner strength.\r\n\r\nWhat is <b>Scorpio\'s</b> shadow? Attachment to emotional connections (even if they are toxic) , avoidance of emotional pain, armoring and protecting ourselves from incidents of disempowerment that no longer exist outside of memory, trust issues, black-and-white thinking, addiction to drama and darkness (or substances)... and anything we want to prevent. Scorpio\'s shadow sees us coming from an instinctual, self-protective place, rather than from intuitive, love-based spaciousness.\r\n\r\n<b>Scorpio</b> wants to go beyond the surface, to our deeper motivations. For the next two weeks, <b>ask yourself:</b> Where do my intentions and efforts seem to get undermined? What propels my sense of attraction or repulsion? What turns me on about life? What scares me?\r\n\r\nSome <b>more questions:</b> What is coming to the surface? Could I simply allow it to? Could I temporarily suspend the need to judge it, \"understand\" it, get rid of it?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon Nodes in </i><b><i>Aquarius/Leo</i></b><i> are in a close Square to the Full Moon</i>. This creates a fixed  Grand Cross and therefore some tension -- it usually indicates a need for releasing old karmic patterns, on a collective and individual level.\r\n\r\nIf you find yourself becoming reactive within the next two weeks, <b>ask yourself:</b> Are these triggers in my relationships \"old\" or familiar? If I were completely honest with myself right now, might I find I was blowing things out of proportion a little bit? What if I took things 5% less personally, just as a brief experiment? Could I acknowledge how I feel that particular situation/feeling is part of my identity -- how it feels like it is about me or who I am? And just for right now, and just as best as I can, could I let go of that sense that \"it\'s personal\"?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon and Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> make a trine to Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>. This is a favorable aspect that supports our ability to release and heal old traumas, while connecting us to our feminine energies in a supportive way; we see from new perspectives and are more able to deal with the darker side of things, through humor and a renewed approach.\r\n\r\nAllowing our fears to surface and bringing compassion and kindness to our feeling-body is a little easier for the next two weeks. <b>Ask yourself:</b> Just for today (or even just for right now), could I let go of \"survival mode\"? If I lowered my protective barriers by 5%, and started to trust 5% more, what might shift in regards to intimacy with others? With myself? With life itself?\r\n\r\nHere is another exercise that you can try (I\'ve mentioned this in a previous video, but I think it\'s worth exploring again):\r\n\r\nImagine yourself in survival mode: What imagery comes to mind? Get quiet, and allow yourself to visualize your inner predator/protector. What does it look like? Could you have compassion and understanding towards that inner predator/protector?\r\n\r\nNow imagine yourself being passionately engaged with life, powerfully connected to your heart and your loving strength: What imagery comes to mind now? What does your Higher Self look like? Could you choose to embrace that divine nature fully, in this now moment?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars,</i> the traditional ruler of Scorpio,<i> </i><i>is currently in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>, and aligns with Pluto </i>(the modern ruler of <b>Scorpio</b>).\r\n\r\nWe are therefore asked to look at our lives and our long-term plans. We seek empowerment from within, rather than exertion of \"power\" over others. We are  invited to act from \"the power of love\" vs. \"the love of power\" -- and remember that healthy \"self-love\" is also a form of… love! :)\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> How emotionally authentic am I being in my actions? Do I feel passionate about what I am building long-term? Am I consistently empowering <i>myself and</i> others? How am I doing at letting go of behaviors and impulses that arise from past trauma or a sense of threat?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars</i> supports us in taking actions that transform what no longer serves, and in building healthy foundations for those long-term goals. <b>Ask yourself: </b>What feels most satisfying to me personally? What are my priorities? What is my bottom line? What is the simplest next action that leads to manifesting all of that long-term? <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Are my actions motivated by <b>love</b> (wanting to thrive/to live full-out) or <b>fear</b> (wanting to survive/protect myself)?</span>\r\n\r\n<i>Chiron moved into </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> just recently, and therefore the position of <i>Mars</i> is also connected to the \"Wounded Healer\". One of my hopes for the membership site was that it would free me up to make more special content for my members, and I\'m delighted to say that this is already happening. I just completed a special article on \"Chiron in Aries\" that is only available to site Members, so please do check that out, if you haven\'t seen it yet ;-)\r\n\r\nOf course, my <i>Star</i> and <i>SuperStar Members</i> will also be automatically be invited to join the next Forecasting Forum, which will delve into Chiron\'s move into Aries in detail, looking at how it impacts our birth charts -- these membership levels can take part in the live webinar, and they also receive an emailed recording of the event (eligible members, please look out for those emails in your inbox -- you may want to flag them if they\'re going into your junk mail).\r\n\r\nIf you are a <i>Universal Member</i>, you can join us by registering on my website via the Home page... or you can also upgrade to <i>Star Membership</i> and join us for FREE, every month :-)\r\n\r\nAgain, we apply what happens every month to our own birth charts; in addition to Chiron’s journey through Aries until 2027, we\'ll also be looking at Uranus\'s upcoming journey through Taurus. Both of these transits promise major shifts ahead!\r\n\r\nThere\'s something else I\'d like to mention in connection with this Full Moon: <i>Saturn forms a Trine to the Sun in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> and a Sextile to the Moon in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>.</i><i> </i>\r\n\r\nThis makes it easier for us to recognize what we value most, and how to manifest it long-term in the real world -- partly by helping us stay focused on our priorities -- it is in fact a very favorable combination for manifesting things.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>Could focusing on my long-term goals actually help me balance <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">any physical/material priorities I have</span> with my deep emotional <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">partnerships</span> with others? What if I brought a sense of responsibility to the table? What would being present right now do for my long-term goals?\r\n\r\nLastly, let\'s talk about <i>Venus,</i> the ruler of Taurus; she<i> </i><i>is currently in </i><b><i>Gemini.</i></b>\r\n\r\nThis has us seeking out mental stimulation: sharing, teaching, learning, writing, reading, etc…. We want to connect, learn, and share as much as possible... Note that Gemini is also connected to the media.\r\n\r\n<i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> squares Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> and makes a somewhat challenging aspect to the Mars/Pluto alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i><i> </i>\r\n\r\n<i>Venus squares Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>: </i><i>This </i>brings up the challenge between connecting the unconditional heart with the rational mind —  and between introverted vs. extroverted, slow vs. fast, intuition vs. \"learning\". Not only that, with this combo, we may not always know if something is \"fact or fiction\".\r\n\r\nWe are being asked to stretch ourselves in order to resolve a tension between what our mind tells us we want, versus our need to tap into our intuitive sensing and feel our way through something. As best as you can, do not believe everything you hear -- whether externally (from others) or internally (from your own conditioned mind ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What might I hear if I listened to intuition before I share something? What if I listened to intuition while reading or watching something? What thoughts would I then share? What if I were 5% more appreciative and kind with myself and others -- especially when thoughts are being shared or processed?\r\n\r\n<b>Bonus questions:</b> What if learning was not a straight line? What if it was circular? Or like a  never-ending spiral?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus makes a somewhat challenging aspect to the Mars/Pluto alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn: </i></b><i>This</i> creates a tension and a challenge: we are called to make an effort, work hard, and learn. <b>Ask yourself: </b>Where do my words need more integrity? Might mental flexibility actually support my determination? If I made 5% more effort to choose the best words, what would that mean for my relationships? Is there anything I might not be fully allowing myself to acknowledge? What would I prefer stayed hidden to myself?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum  it all up:</b> This Full Moon reminds us that life and death are entwined, that every new beginning is an ending for something else, and vice versa. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What fears and traumas need to be investigated and made conscious, so I can be more in touch with my own worthiness, and better see my own value? What behaviors and habits need to come to an end and make way for me to create more abundance?\r\n\r\nLong-standing patterns demand to be addressed right now! The good news is that we have the <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">persistence</span> to do just that, and thereby step into a more fully empowered self-experience... As best as you can therefore, release what you have outgrown, and focus where you <i>actually</i> have influence, rather than forcing things and struggling to change what you have no control over.\r\n\r\nSome <b>final questions</b>: What would a completely new approach to achieving <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">“powerful leadership”</span> in the world bring about? What would long-term commitments based on trust, love and a genuine desire for a deeper, more authentic connection bring to life?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 7-12 degrees of</i><b><i> Taurus,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s Full Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>A head’s up for next Monday (April 30th):</strong> t<em>he Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </em><strong><em>Scorpio</em> all day</strong> (see Sunday early morning for details).

What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday night/</strong>Tuesday very early morning<strong>,</strong> <em>an opportune Mars/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:13am EDT.<strong> </strong><strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday evening (April 20th) on; it will be strong until Friday morning (April 27th). </strong>This aspect is an opportunity for us to tap into our optimism, enthusiasm, and sense of expansion. We are more likely to connect with others in an active and fun way.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe feel stronger, more assertive, and more straightforward -- and this goes over well with others. As with all opportunities in life, this one is not simply handed to us, we have to make something of it. What actions could you take right now, that would help create a deeper connection to others?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in <em>18-22 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Scorpio, </i></b><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (April 24th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em><strong> until 4:40pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 12:40pm EDT,</strong> <i>Venus changes signs from steady, calm, sensual</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>to chatty, social, versatile</i> <b><i>Gemini.</i></b> Venus, the energy of love, “relating\" and finances will journey through Gemini <strong>until May 19th.</strong> For the next 3.5 weeks, we value mental stimulation and frequent changes of scenery in our love relationships.\r\n\r\nWe love connecting and sharing ourselves with others. As long as we don\'t get bored, we will stick around -- but as soon as we disengage mentally, we begin to thirst for interesting conversations with new people, in new places and/or situations. Love is playful and lighthearted for the next 3.5 weeks and humor plays a part in all our relationships.\r\n\r\nOur finances might fluctuate at this time, as we don\'t invest in anything for long enough to know whether it would have actually made a profit. That said, this sign-change actually favors financial transactions that benefit from rapidity, or from widely dispersed resources -- it\'s a great time for short-term investments.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, stay open-minded and flexible toward love and finances. Curiosity towards life and love is a great gift as Venus moves through Gemini -- you never know where things will go at this time — and if nothing else, that attitude makes it hard to be bored for even a second ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>?

Healing happens much faster when we can open to forgiving ourselves and others. As best as you can, bring compassion and understanding to yourself, to others, and to those past experiences that wounded you.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>28-2 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Gemini, Aries, Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>?

The retrograde phase is a good time to do some internal work in these areas (the retrograde ends on Sept. 6th).\r\n\r\nWe now have 4.5 months to go over recently built business structures, to see if they are aligned with our inner truth.

This gives us a chance to address our approach toward any misunderstandings.\r\n\r\nThis aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature. Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce. <strong>Ask yourself</strong>: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to your passions, while remaining committed to exploring them one step at a time.

Suppressed desires surface; we will need to take actions on them, one way or another. If you are able to connect -- body and soul -- to that passion, you will be able to move towards a much higher goal. This may be a goal that is truly connected to the whole of you, perhaps even to your Soul Purpose for this lifetime.\r\n\r\nMars last aligned with Pluto in mid-October, 2016; unresolved issues from that period can now move to the next level.

Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s thus an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your very best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the Full Moon (exact later this evening)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning,</strong> <em>a harmonious Sun/Saturn alignment</em> becomes exact at 6:04am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday night (April 23rd) on; it will be strong until next week, Wednesday (May 2nd). </strong>Commitment and discipline are the keys to understanding our heart\'s desire right now. We face life on life\'s terms and feel up to doing so (especially when it comes to our creative self-expression).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What could I achieve if I bought 5% more joy to my long-term plans?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nParadoxically, we can also bring a more mature approach to exploring our \"inner child\" energy. How might a supportive \"inner parent\" help your \"inner child\" feel safe to play?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>6-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? Or your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)? If either of those is true, you can expect to be more blessed by this aspect :-)</i>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned earlier, the entrance of the <i>Moon into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b> started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon;</i> this will be exact today <b>(Sunday</b><b>, April 29th) at 8:58pm EDT  </b><i>in 9.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>.\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon shows us what we must release,  if we are to manifest what was started at the time of the New Moon that occurred shortly after April 15th.\r\n\r\nFor the next two weeks, we seek the balance and integration of two polarities -- and are more aware<b> </b>of something that needs to be brought into alignment. The balance in question is between our physical attachments/connections -- symbolized by <b>Taurus</b> -- and our emotional attachments/connections (<b>Scorpio</b>).\r\n\r\nThe time of any Full Moon is always more extroverted and emotional; this particular one invites us to let go of fears, and thereby break through to the next level of our evolution.\r\n\r\nSo, here\'s this Full Moon\'s central question: What do we really want? As a society, as people, as individuals... To learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, please click here to watch my video\r\n\r\nAll right, let\'s look at the signs involved in this polarity, beginning with <b>Taurus:</b>\r\n\r\nTaurus seeks comfort and material stability. It\'s concerned with our relationship to the planet, and with the physical plane in general -- and with a hugely important part of our relationship with ourselves, namely \"self-esteem\".\r\n\r\nOf course, <b>Taurus</b> also has a shadow side: attachment to material things, especially when using them to make up for low self-esteem, seeking to feel better about ourselves through indulging in physical pleasures -- and immovability -- wanting to keep things the same, usually so we don\'t experience physical discomfort.\r\n\r\n<b>Scorpio</b>, on the other hand, craves transformation — and it seeks this in part by putting us in touch with our deepest desires and worst fears, bringing it into conscious awareness, so that we can see and release what no longer serves, or has become stale or toxic. Put another way: it helps us move from a \"survival mentality\" to a passionate engagement with life.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> Where in my life do I observe a \"survival mentality\"? In what ways have I protected myself from feelings of hurt or disempowerment?\r\n\r\nIt’s essential to bring conscious awareness to the walls we have built to feel protected and more “empowered”. Addressing past traumas and any sense of disempowerment is the only way to allow for the return of trust toward others (and life in general). By acknowledging our fears and breaking down those walls, we can transform into truly powerful beings of love and inner strength.\r\n\r\nWhat is <b>Scorpio\'s</b> shadow? Attachment to emotional connections (even if they are toxic) , avoidance of emotional pain, armoring and protecting ourselves from incidents of disempowerment that no longer exist outside of memory, trust issues, black-and-white thinking, addiction to drama and darkness (or substances)... and anything we want to prevent. Scorpio\'s shadow sees us coming from an instinctual, self-protective place, rather than from intuitive, love-based spaciousness.\r\n\r\n<b>Scorpio</b> wants to go beyond the surface, to our deeper motivations. For the next two weeks, <b>ask yourself:</b> Where do my intentions and efforts seem to get undermined? What propels my sense of attraction or repulsion? What turns me on about life? What scares me?\r\n\r\nSome <b>more questions:</b> What is coming to the surface? Could I simply allow it to? Could I temporarily suspend the need to judge it, \"understand\" it, get rid of it?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon Nodes in </i><b><i>Aquarius/Leo</i></b><i> are in a close Square to the Full Moon</i>. This creates a fixed  Grand Cross and therefore some tension -- it usually indicates a need for releasing old karmic patterns, on a collective and individual level.\r\n\r\nIf you find yourself becoming reactive within the next two weeks, <b>ask yourself:</b> Are these triggers in my relationships \"old\" or familiar? If I were completely honest with myself right now, might I find I was blowing things out of proportion a little bit? What if I took things 5% less personally, just as a brief experiment? Could I acknowledge how I feel that particular situation/feeling is part of my identity -- how it feels like it is about me or who I am? And just for right now, and just as best as I can, could I let go of that sense that \"it\'s personal\"?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon and Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> make a trine to Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>. This is a favorable aspect that supports our ability to release and heal old traumas while connecting us to our feminine energies in a supportive way; we see from new perspectives and are more able to deal with the darker side of things, through humor and a renewed approach.\r\n\r\nAllowing our fears to surface and bringing compassion and kindness to our feeling-body is a little easier for the next two weeks. <b>Ask yourself:</b> Just for today (or even just for right now), could I let go of \"survival mode\"? If I lowered my protective barriers by 5% and started to trust 5% more, what might shift in regards to intimacy with others? With myself? With life itself?\r\n\r\nHere is another exercise that you can try (I\'ve mentioned this in a previous video, but I think it\'s worth exploring again):\r\n\r\nImagine yourself in survival mode: What imagery comes to mind? Get quiet, and allow yourself to visualize your inner predator/protector. What does it look like? Could you have compassion and understanding towards that inner predator/protector?\r\n\r\nNow imagine yourself being passionately engaged with life, powerfully connected to your heart and your loving strength: What imagery comes to mind now? What does your Higher Self look like? Could you choose to embrace that divine nature fully, in this now moment?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars,</i> the traditional ruler of Scorpio,<i> </i><i>is currently in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> and aligns with Pluto </i>(the modern ruler of <b>Scorpio</b>).\r\n\r\nWe are therefore asked to look at our lives and our long-term plans. We seek empowerment from within, rather than the exertion of \"power\" over others. We are invited to act from \"the power of love\" vs. \"the love of power\" -- and remember that healthy \"self-love\" is also a form of… love! :)\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> How emotionally authentic am I being in my actions? Do I feel passionate about what I am building long-term? Am I consistently empowering <i>myself and</i> others? How am I doing at letting go of behaviors and impulses that arise from past trauma or a sense of threat?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars</i> supports us in taking actions that transform what no longer serves, and in building healthy foundations for those long-term goals. <b>Ask yourself: </b>What feels most satisfying to me personally? What are my priorities? What is my bottom line? What is the simplest next action that leads to manifesting all of that long-term? Are my actions motivated by <b>love</b> (wanting to thrive, to live full-out) or <b>fear</b> (wanting merely to protect myself and merely survive)?\r\n\r\n<i>Chiron moved into </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> just recently, and therefore the position of <i>Mars</i> is also connected to the \"Wounded Healer\". One of my hopes for the membership site was that it would free me up to make more special content for my members, and I\'m delighted to say that this is already happening. I just completed a special article on \"Chiron in Aries\" that is only available to site Members, so please do check that out, if you haven\'t seen it yet ;-)\r\n\r\nOf course, my <i>Star</i> and <i>SuperStar Members</i> will also be automatically be invited to join the next Forecasting Forum, which will delve into Chiron\'s move into Aries in detail, looking at how it impacts our birth charts -- these membership levels can take part in the live webinar, and they also receive an emailed recording of the event (eligible members, please look out for those emails in your inbox -- you may want to flag them if they\'re going into your junk mail).\r\n\r\nIf you are a <i>Universal Member</i>, you can join us by registering on my website via the Home page... or you can also upgrade to <i>Star Membership</i> and join us for FREE, every month :-)\r\n\r\nAgain, we apply what happens every month to our own birth charts; in addition to Chiron’s journey through Aries until 2027, we\'ll also be looking at Uranus\'s upcoming journey through Taurus. Both of these transits promise major shifts ahead!\r\n\r\nThere\'s something else I\'d like to mention in connection with this Full Moon: <i>Saturn forms a Trine to the Sun in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> and a Sextile to the Moon in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>.</i><i> </i>\r\n\r\nThis makes it easier for us to recognize what we value most, and how to manifest it long-term in the real world -- partly by helping us stay focused on our priorities -- it is, in fact, a very favorable combination for manifesting things.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>Could focusing on my long-term goals actually help me balance physical and material priorities with any deeply emotional partnerships I may have with others? What if I brought a sense of responsibility to the table? What would being present right now do for my long-term goals?\r\n\r\nLastly, let\'s talk about <i>Venus,</i> the ruler of Taurus; she<i> </i><i>is currently in </i><b><i>Gemini.</i></b>\r\n\r\nThis has us seeking out mental stimulation: sharing, teaching, learning, writing, reading, etc…. We want to connect, learn, and share as much as possible... Note that Gemini is also connected to the media.\r\n\r\n<i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> squares Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> and makes a somewhat challenging aspect to the Mars/Pluto alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i><i> </i>\r\n\r\n<i>Venus squares Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>: </i><i>This </i>brings up the challenge of connecting the unconditional heart with the rational mind —  and challenges around introversion vs. extroversion, slow vs. fast, intuition vs. \"learning\". Not only that, with this combo, we may not always know if something is \"fact or fiction\".\r\n\r\nWe are being asked to stretch ourselves in order to resolve a tension between what our mind tells us we want, versus our need to tap into our intuitive sensing and feel our way through something. As best as you can, do not believe everything you hear -- whether externally (from others) or internally (from your own conditioned mind ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What might I hear if I listened to intuition before I share something? What if I listened to intuition while reading or watching something? What thoughts would I then share? What if I were 5% more appreciative and kind with myself and others -- especially when thoughts are being shared or processed?\r\n\r\n<b>Bonus questions:</b> What if learning was not a straight line? What if it was circular? Or like a  never-ending spiral?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus makes a somewhat challenging aspect to the Mars/Pluto alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn: </i></b><i>This</i> creates a tension and a challenge: we are called to make an effort, work hard, and learn. <b>Ask yourself: </b>Where do my words need more integrity? Might mental flexibility actually support my determination? If I made 5% more effort to choose the best words, what would that mean for my relationships? Is there anything I might not be fully allowing myself to acknowledge? What would I prefer stayed hidden to myself?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum  it all up:</b> This Full Moon reminds us that life and death are entwined, that every new beginning is an ending for something else, and vice versa. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What fears and traumas need to be investigated and made conscious, so I can be more in touch with my own worthiness, and better see my own value? What behaviors and habits need to come to an end and make way for me to create more abundance?\r\n\r\nLong-standing patterns demand to be addressed right now! The good news is that we have the persistence to do just that, and thereby step into a more fully empowered self-experience... As best as you can, therefore, release what you have outgrown, and focus where you <i>actually</i> have influence, rather than forcing things and struggling to change what you have no control over.\r\n\r\nSome <b>final questions</b>: What if there was a completely new approach to achieving “powerful leadership” in the world? What would such leadership bring about? What would long-term commitments based on trust, love and a genuine desire for a deeper, more authentic connection bring to life?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 7-12 degrees of</i><b><i> Taurus,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>?

What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\n\n<strong>Monday night/</strong>Tuesday very early morning<strong>,</strong> <em>an opportune Mars/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:13am EDT.<strong> </strong><strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday evening (April 20th) on; it will be strong until Friday morning (April 27th). </strong>This aspect is an opportunity for us to tap into our optimism, enthusiasm, and sense of expansion. We are more likely to connect with others in an active and fun way.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\n\nWe feel stronger, more assertive, and more straightforward -- and this goes over well with others. As with all opportunities in life, this one is not simply handed to us, we have to make something of it. What actions could you take right now, that would help create a deeper connection to others?\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in <em>18-22 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Scorpio, </i></b><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius)</i>\n\n<strong>Tuesday (April 24th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em><strong> until 4:40pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for details).\n\n<strong>Tuesday at 12:40pm EDT,</strong> <i>Venus changes signs from steady, calm, sensual</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>to chatty, social, versatile</i> <b><i>Gemini.</i></b> Venus, the energy of love, “relating\" and finances will journey through Gemini <strong>until May 19th.</strong> For the next 3.5 weeks, we value mental stimulation and frequent changes of scenery in our love relationships.\n\nWe love connecting and sharing ourselves with others. As long as we don\'t get bored, we will stick around -- but as soon as we disengage mentally, we begin to thirst for interesting conversations with new people, in new places and/or situations. Love is playful and lighthearted for the next 3.5 weeks and humor plays a part in all our relationships.\n\nOur finances might fluctuate at this time, as we don\'t invest in anything for long enough to know whether it would have actually made a profit. That said, this sign-change actually favors financial transactions that benefit from rapidity, or from widely dispersed resources -- it\'s a great time for short-term investments.\n\nAs best as you can, stay open-minded and flexible toward love and finances. Curiosity towards life and love is a great gift as Venus moves through Gemini -- you never know where things will go at this time — and if nothing else, that attitude makes it hard to be bored for even a second ;-)\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel more chatty for the next 3.5 weeks. Your heart will want to connect with friends and have several activities going all at once. Learning or teaching something new might be just the thing for you to do right now. If you are a</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to have more love and beauty in your life for as long as Venus is in your sign</i>\n\n<strong>Tuesday at 2:40pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 2 hours, <strong>until 4:40pm EDT</strong>. During this intuitive time, have fun connecting with others and doing things that bring you joy — explore something different, take a risk.\n\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday afternoon ahead of time.<span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"> </span>\n\n<strong>Tuesday at 4:40pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Thursday evening</strong>; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\n\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<b> </b><b>\n</b>\n\n<strong>Tuesday evening,</strong> <em>an opportune Venus/Chiron aspect becomes exact</em> at 8:41pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Sunday night (April 22nd) on; it will be strong until Thursday (April 26th). </strong>It\'s an opportunity to bring healing to our wounds around relationships or our sense of self-worth.\n\nWe get a chance to love ourselves and heal deep fears of not being \"good enough\". Healing happens much faster when we can open to forgiving ourselves and others. As best as you can, bring compassion and understanding to yourself, to others, and to those past experiences that wounded you.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>28-2 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Gemini, Aries, Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Libra </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra)</i>\n\nAlso<strong> on Tuesday,</strong> although now retrograde, <i>Saturn resumes its normal pace through the sky, ending its station</i>. What came up in the last two weeks around any commitments to build something long-term? How about the need to be more realistic? How truthful are you with yourself about \"where you\'re at\"? The retrograde phase is a good time to do some internal work in these areas (the retrograde ends on Sept. 6th).\n\nWe now have 4.5 months to go over recently built business structures, to see if they are aligned with our inner truth. We are also now ready to contemplate solutions for whatever was \"in our face\" from April 9th until now -- solutions that work well both with our inner truth and our outer reality.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\n\n<strong>Wednesday (April 25th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late afternoon for details).\n\n<strong>Wednesday early evening,</strong> <em>a challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:28pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday late morning (April 20th) on; it will remain strong until Saturday evening (April 28th). </strong>Due to the Mercury Retrograde phase that just ended recently, we get to experience this aspect several times; this is the third and last pass within the last 6.5 weeks. This gives us a chance to address our approach toward any misunderstandings.\n\nThis aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature. Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\n\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce. <strong>Ask yourself</strong>: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps?\n\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to your passions, while remaining committed to exploring them one step at a time. What is my life calling me to explore? Could I go for it (one step at a time)?\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>6-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn,<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Saturn rules Capricorn).</i>\n\n<strong>Thursday (April 26th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> until 9:13pm EDT</strong> (see Tuesday late afternoon for details).\n\n<strong>Thursday at 5:49am EDT,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for almost 15.5 hours, <strong>until 9:13pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to empower each other and mutually support each other in practical ways.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\n\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday all day and evening ahead of time.\n\n<strong>Thursday morning,</strong> <em>a Mars/Pluto alignment in 21 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> becomes exact at 7:00am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday morning (April 19th) on, it will remain strong until Tuesday evening (May 1st). </strong>This alignment connects our personal will to the Universal Will. If we feel the need to connect to something, we will feel it passionately, especially when it comes to our long-term goals and our public image.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\n\nWe may feel impatient (or even obsessive) right now about our career goals. Suppressed desires surface; we will need to take actions on them, one way or another. If you are able to connect -- body and soul -- to that passion, you will be able to move towards a much higher goal. This may be a goal that is truly connected to the whole of you, perhaps even to your Soul Purpose for this lifetime.\n\nMars last aligned with Pluto in mid-October, 2016; unresolved issues from that period can now move to the next level. What were you up to back then? What does the next level look like for those ventures? What is a simple step you could take to move them there?\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in <em>18-24 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this aspect more strongly than otherwise. </i><i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Mars\'s movements and aspects; Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio, so they likewise feel Pluto\'s movements and aspects more strongly)</i>\n\n<strong>Thursday at 9:13pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday very early morning. </strong>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\n\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating -- and although these next two days are a great time for mediation, our need for peace (and aversion to direct conflict) could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might prefer.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\n\nWe may also be able to see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\n\n<strong>Friday (April 27th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday late evening for details).\n\n<strong>Friday very early morning,</strong><i> </i>we are asked to connect with others, socialize, and share information with them\n\n<strong>Friday late morning: </strong>we are invited to make some internal adjustments. We may want to relax, slow down and enjoy life through our senses -- but we may also feel drawn to collaboration with others. Might there be a way to honor yourself while still adjusting to other peoples wishes?<strong> </strong>\n\n<strong>Friday early afternoon: </strong>we feel a need for even-handed collaboration... and for focusing on our long-term accomplishments and standing in society. As best as you can, find a creative way through this!<em> </em>\n\n<strong>Friday late afternoon: </strong>we may need to balance wanting harmony with others, against wanting to be direct and to share ourselves without apologies.<span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><em><strong> </strong></em></span>\n\n<strong>Saturday (April 28th):</strong> t<em>he Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> ( See Thursday late evening for details).\n\n<strong>Saturday late morning,</strong><em> </em>we may need to make some adjustments and find creative ways to work with the energies at play: On the one hand, we need to collaborate with others and play nice, on the other hand, we feel a deep desire to be authentic and truthful about what we want to build long-term.\n\n<strong>Saturday early afternoon: </strong>On the one hand, we need harmony and peace in interactions with others; on the other, we feel the need to give our long-term goals 100%. We may need to make some adjustments between these two needs that are seemingly at odds.\n\n<strong>Saturday night/</strong>Sunday very early morning<strong> at 1:32am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for almost 2 hours, <strong>until 3:11am EDT</strong> (Sunday early morning). Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\n\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday very early morning ahead of time.\n\n<strong>Sunday (April 29th)</strong><strong> at 3:11am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Tuesday late morning</strong>. We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\n\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\n\nThe Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s thus an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\n\nMoon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\n\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your very best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\n\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the Full Moon (exact later this evening)</span>\n\n<strong>Sunday morning,</strong> <em>a harmonious Sun/Saturn alignment</em> becomes exact at 6:04am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday night (April 25th) on; it will be strong until next week, Wednesday (May 2nd). </strong>Commitment and discipline are the keys to understanding our heart\'s desire right now. We face life on life\'s terms and feel up to doing so (especially when it comes to our creative self-expression).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\n\nAsk yourself: What could I achieve if I bought 5% more joy to my long-term plans?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\n\nParadoxically, we can also bring a more mature approach to exploring our \"inner child\" energy. How might a supportive \"inner parent\" help your \"inner child\" feel safe to play?\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>6-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? Or your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)? If either of those is true, you can expect to be more blessed by this aspect :-)</i>\n\nAs I mentioned earlier, the entrance of the <i>Moon into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b> started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon;</i> this will be exact today <b>(Sunday</b><b>, April 29th) at 8:58pm EDT  </b><i>in 9.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>.\n\nThis Full Moon shows us what we must release if we are to manifest anything that began soon after the last New Moon (i.e. after April 15th).\n\nFor the next two weeks, we seek the balance and integration of two polarities -- and are more aware<b> </b>of something that needs to be brought into alignment. The balance in question is between our physical attachments/connections -- symbolized by <b>Taurus</b> -- and our emotional attachments/connections (<b>Scorpio</b>).\n\nThe time of any Full Moon is always more extroverted and emotional; this particular one invites us to let go of fears, and thereby break through to the next level of our evolution.\n\nSo, here\'s this Full Moon\'s central question: What do we really want? As a society, as people, as individuals... To learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, please click here to watch my video\n\nAll right, let\'s look at the signs involved in this polarity, beginning with <b>Taurus:</b>\n\nTaurus seeks comfort and material stability. It\'s concerned with our relationship to the planet, and with the physical plane in general -- and with a hugely important part of our relationship with ourselves, namely \"self-esteem\".\n\nOf course, <b>Taurus</b> also has a shadow side: attachment to material things, especially when using them to make up for low self-esteem, seeking to feel better about ourselves through indulging in physical pleasures -- and immovability -- wanting to keep things the same, usually so we don\'t experience physical discomfort.\n\n<b>Scorpio</b>, on the other hand, craves transformation — and it seeks this in part by putting us in touch with our deepest desires and worst fears, bringing it into conscious awareness, so that we can see and release what no longer serves, or has become stale or toxic. Put another way: it helps us move from a \"survival mentality\" to a passionate engagement with life.\n\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> Where in my life do I observe a \"survival mentality\"? In what ways have I protected myself from feelings of hurt or disempowerment?\n\nIt’s essential to bring conscious awareness to the walls we have built to feel protected and more “empowered”. Addressing past traumas and any sense of disempowerment is the only way to allow for the return of trust toward others (and life in general). By acknowledging our fears and breaking down those walls, we can transform into truly powerful beings of love and inner strength.\n\nWhat is <b>Scorpio\'s</b> shadow? Attachment to emotional connections (even if they are toxic) , avoidance of emotional pain, armoring and protecting ourselves from incidents of disempowerment that no longer exist outside of memory, trust issues, black-and-white thinking, addiction to drama and darkness (or substances)... and anything we want to prevent. Scorpio\'s shadow sees us coming from an instinctual, self-protective place, rather than from intuitive, love-based spaciousness.\n\n<b>Scorpio</b> wants to go beyond the surface, to our deeper motivations. For the next two weeks, <b>ask yourself:</b> Where do my intentions and efforts seem to get undermined? What propels my sense of attraction or repulsion? What turns me on about life? What scares me?\n\nSome <b>more questions:</b> What is coming to the surface? Could I simply allow it to? Could I temporarily suspend the need to judge it, \"understand\" it, get rid of it?\n\n<i>The Moon Nodes in </i><b><i>Aquarius/Leo</i></b><i> are in a close Square to the Full Moon</i>. This creates a fixed  Grand Cross and therefore some tension -- it usually indicates a need for releasing old karmic patterns, on a collective and individual level.\n\nIf you find yourself becoming reactive within the next two weeks, <b>ask yourself:</b> Are these triggers in my relationships \"old\" or familiar? If I were completely honest with myself right now, might I find I was blowing things out of proportion a little bit? What if I took things 5% less personally, just as a brief experiment? Could I acknowledge how I feel that particular situation/feeling is part of my identity -- how it feels like it is about me or who I am? And just for right now, and just as best as I can, could I let go of that sense that \"it\'s personal\"?\n\n<i>The Moon and Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> make a trine to Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>. This is a favorable aspect that supports our ability to release and heal old traumas while connecting us to our feminine energies in a supportive way; we see from new perspectives and are more able to deal with the darker side of things, through humor and a renewed approach.\n\nAllowing our fears to surface and bringing compassion and kindness to our feeling-body is a little easier for the next two weeks. <b>Ask yourself:</b> Just for today (or even just for right now), could I let go of \"survival mode\"? If I lowered my protective barriers by 5% and started to trust 5% more, what might shift in regards to intimacy with others? With myself? With life itself?\n\nHere is another exercise that you can try (I\'ve mentioned this in a previous video, but I think it\'s worth exploring again):\n\nImagine yourself in survival mode: What imagery comes to mind? Get quiet, and allow yourself to visualize your inner predator/protector. What does it look like? Could you have compassion and understanding towards that inner predator/protector?\n\nNow imagine yourself being passionately engaged with life, powerfully connected to your heart and your loving strength: What imagery comes to mind now? What does your Higher Self look like? Could you choose to embrace that divine nature fully, in this now moment?\n\n<i>Mars,</i> the traditional ruler of Scorpio,<i> </i><i>is currently in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> and aligns with Pluto </i>(the modern ruler of <b>Scorpio</b>).\n\nWe are therefore asked to look at our lives and our long-term plans. We seek empowerment from within, rather than the exertion of \"power\" over others. We are invited to act from \"the power of love\" vs. \"the love of power\" -- and remember that healthy \"self-love\" is also a form of… love! :)\n\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> How emotionally authentic am I being in my actions? Do I feel passionate about what I am building long-term? Am I consistently empowering <i>myself and</i> others? How am I doing at letting go of behaviors and impulses that arise from past trauma or a sense of threat?\n\n<i>Mars</i> supports us in taking actions that transform what no longer serves, and in building healthy foundations for those long-term goals. <b>Ask yourself: </b>What feels most satisfying to me personally? What are my priorities? What is my bottom line? What is the simplest next action that leads to manifesting all of that long-term? Are my actions motivated by <b>love</b> (wanting to thrive, to live full-out) or <b>fear</b> (wanting merely to protect myself and merely survive)?\n\n<i>Chiron moved into </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> just recently, and therefore the position of <i>Mars</i> is also connected to the \"Wounded Healer\".\n\nOne of my hopes for the membership site was that it would free me up to make more special content for my members, and I\'m delighted to say that this is already happening. I just completed a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/chiron-in-aries-until-2027/\">special article on \"Chiron in Aries\"</a> that is only available to site Members, so please do check that out, if you haven\'t seen it yet ;-)\n\nOf course, my <i>Star</i> and <i>SuperStar Members</i> will also be automatically be invited to join the next Forecasting Forum, which will delve into Chiron\'s move into Aries in detail, looking at how it impacts our birth charts -- these membership levels can take part in the live webinar, and they also receive an emailed recording of the event (eligible members, please look out for those emails in your inbox -- you may want to flag them if they\'re going into your junk mail).\n\nIf you are a <i>Universal Member</i>, you can join us by registering <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">right here</a>... or you can also upgrade to <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\"><i>Star Membership</i></a> and join us for FREE, every month :-)\n\nAgain, we apply what happens every month to our own birth charts; in addition to Chiron’s journey through <strong>Aries</strong> until 2027, we\'ll also be looking at Uranus\'s upcoming journey through <strong>Taurus</strong>. Both of these transits promise major shifts ahead!\n\nThere\'s something else I\'d like to mention in connection with this Full Moon: <i>Saturn forms a Trine to the Sun in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> and a Sextile to the Moon in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>.</i><i> </i>\n\nThis makes it easier for us to recognize what we value most, and how to manifest it long-term in the real world -- partly by helping us stay focused on our priorities -- it is, in fact, a very favorable combination for manifesting things.\n\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>Could focusing on my long-term goals actually help me balance physical and material priorities with any deeply emotional partnerships I may have with others? What if I brought a sense of responsibility to the table? What would being present right now do for my long-term goals?\n\nLastly, let\'s talk about <i>Venus,</i> the ruler of Taurus; she<i> </i><i>is currently in </i><b><i>Gemini.</i></b>\n\nThis has us seeking out mental stimulation: sharing, teaching, learning, writing, reading, etc…. We want to connect, learn, and share as much as possible... Note that Gemini is also connected to the media.\n\n<i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> squares Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> and makes a somewhat challenging aspect to the Mars/Pluto alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i><i> </i>\n\n<i>Venus squares Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>: </i><i>This </i>brings up the challenge of connecting the unconditional heart with the rational mind —  and challenges around introversion vs. extroversion, slow vs. fast, intuition vs. \"learning\". Not only that, with this combo, we may not always know if something is \"fact or fiction\".\n\nWe are being asked to stretch ourselves in order to resolve a tension between what our mind tells us we want, versus our need to tap into our intuitive sensing and feel our way through something. As best as you can, do not believe everything you hear -- whether externally (from others) or internally (from your own conditioned mind ;-)\n\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What might I hear if I listened to intuition before I share something? What if I listened to intuition while reading or watching something? What thoughts would I then share? What if I were 5% more appreciative and kind with myself and others -- especially when thoughts are being shared or processed?\n\n<b>Bonus questions:</b> What if learning was not a straight line? What if it was circular? Or like a  never-ending spiral?\n\n<i>Venus makes a somewhat challenging aspect to the Mars/Pluto alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn: </i></b><i>This</i> creates a tension and a challenge: we are called to make an effort, work hard, and learn. <b>Ask yourself: </b>Where do my words need more integrity? Might mental flexibility actually support my determination? If I made 5% more effort to choose the best words, what would that mean for my relationships? Is there anything I might not be fully allowing myself to acknowledge? What would I prefer stayed hidden to myself?\n\n<b>To sum  it all up:</b> This Full Moon reminds us that life and death are entwined, that every new beginning is an ending for something else, and vice versa. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What fears and traumas need to be investigated and made conscious, so I can be more in touch with my own worthiness, and better see my own value? What behaviors and habits need to come to an end and make way for me to create more abundance?\n\nLong-standing patterns demand to be addressed right now! The good news is that we have the persistence to do just that, and thereby step into a more fully empowered self-experience... As best as you can, therefore, release what you have outgrown, and focus where you <i>actually</i> have influence, rather than forcing things and struggling to change what you have no control over.\n\nSome <b>final questions</b>: What if there was a completely new approach to achieving “powerful leadership” in the world? What would such leadership bring about? What would long-term commitments based on trust, love and a genuine desire for a deeper, more authentic connection bring to life?\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 7-12 degrees of</i><b><i> Taurus,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s Full Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\n\n<strong>A head’s up for next Monday (April 30th):</strong> t<em>he Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </em><strong><em>Scorpio</em> all day</strong> (see Sunday early morning for details).

What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday night/</strong>Tuesday very early morning<strong>,</strong> <em>an opportune Mars/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:13am EDT.<strong> </strong><strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday evening (April 20th) on; it will be strong until Friday morning (April 27th). </strong>This aspect is an opportunity for us to tap into our optimism, enthusiasm, and sense of expansion. We are more likely to connect with others in an active and fun way.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe feel stronger, more assertive, and more straightforward -- and this goes over well with others. As with all opportunities in life, this one is not simply handed to us, we have to make something of it. What actions could you take right now, that would help create a deeper connection to others?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in <em>18-22 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Scorpio, </i></b><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (April 24th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em><strong> until 4:40pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 12:40pm EDT,</strong> <i>Venus changes signs from steady, calm, sensual</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>to chatty, social, versatile</i> <b><i>Gemini.</i></b> Venus, the energy of love, “relating\" and finances will journey through Gemini <strong>until May 19th.</strong> For the next 3.5 weeks, we value mental stimulation and frequent changes of scenery in our love relationships.\r\n\r\nWe love connecting and sharing ourselves with others. As long as we don\'t get bored, we will stick around -- but as soon as we disengage mentally, we begin to thirst for interesting conversations with new people, in new places and/or situations. Love is playful and lighthearted for the next 3.5 weeks and humor plays a part in all our relationships.\r\n\r\nOur finances might fluctuate at this time, as we don\'t invest in anything for long enough to know whether it would have actually made a profit. That said, this sign-change actually favors financial transactions that benefit from rapidity, or from widely dispersed resources -- it\'s a great time for short-term investments.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, stay open-minded and flexible toward love and finances. Curiosity towards life and love is a great gift as Venus moves through Gemini -- you never know where things will go at this time — and if nothing else, that attitude makes it hard to be bored for even a second ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel more chatty for the next 3.5 weeks. Your heart will want to connect with friends and have several activities going all at once. Learning or teaching something new might be just the thing for you to do right now. If you are a</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to have more love and beauty in your life for as long as Venus is in your sign</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 2:40pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 2 hours, <strong>until 4:40pm EDT</strong>. During this intuitive time, have fun connecting with others and doing things that bring you joy — explore something different, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday afternoon ahead of time.<span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 4:40pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Thursday evening</strong>; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<b> </b><b>\r\n</b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday evening,</strong> <em>an opportune Venus/Chiron aspect becomes exact</em> at 8:41pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Sunday night (April 22nd) on; it will be strong until Thursday (April 26th). </strong>It\'s an opportunity to bring healing to our wounds around relationships or our sense of self-worth.\r\n\r\nWe get a chance to love ourselves and heal deep fears of not being \"good enough\". Healing happens much faster when we can open to forgiving ourselves and others. As best as you can, bring compassion and understanding to yourself, to others, and to those past experiences that wounded you.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>28-2 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Gemini, Aries, Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Libra </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso<strong> on Tuesday,</strong> although now retrograde, <i>Saturn resumes its normal pace through the sky, ending its station</i>. What came up in the last two weeks around any commitments to build something long-term? How about the need to be more realistic? How truthful are you with yourself about \"where you\'re at\"? The retrograde phase is a good time to do some internal work in these areas (the retrograde ends on Sept. 6th).\r\n\r\nWe now have 4.5 months to go over recently built business structures, to see if they are aligned with our inner truth. We are also now ready to contemplate solutions for whatever was \"in our face\" from April 9th until now -- solutions that work well both with our inner truth and our outer reality.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (April 25th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday early evening,</strong> <em>a challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:28pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday late morning (April 20th) on; it will remain strong until Saturday evening (April 28th). </strong>Due to the Mercury Retrograde phase that just ended recently, we get to experience this aspect several times; this is the third and last pass within the last 6.5 weeks. This gives us a chance to address our approach toward any misunderstandings.\r\n\r\nThis aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature. Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce. <strong>Ask yourself</strong>: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to your passions, while remaining committed to exploring them one step at a time. What is my life calling me to explore? Could I go for it (one step at a time)?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>6-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn,<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Saturn rules Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (April 26th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> until 9:13pm EDT</strong> (see Tuesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 5:49am EDT,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for almost 15.5 hours, <strong>until 9:13pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to empower each other and mutually support each other in practical ways.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday all day and evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning,</strong> <em>a Mars/Pluto alignment in 21 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> becomes exact at 7:00am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday morning (April 19th) on, it will remain strong until Tuesday evening (May 1st). </strong>This alignment connects our personal will to the Universal Will. If we feel the need to connect to something, we will feel it passionately, especially when it comes to our long-term goals and our public image.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe may feel impatient (or even obsessive) right now about our career goals. Suppressed desires surface; we will need to take actions on them, one way or another. If you are able to connect -- body and soul -- to that passion, you will be able to move towards a much higher goal. This may be a goal that is truly connected to the whole of you, perhaps even to your Soul Purpose for this lifetime.\r\n\r\nMars last aligned with Pluto in mid-October, 2016; unresolved issues from that period can now move to the next level. What were you up to back then? What does the next level look like for those ventures? What is a simple step you could take to move them there?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in <em>18-24 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this aspect more strongly than otherwise. </i><i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Mars\'s movements and aspects; Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio, so they likewise feel Pluto\'s movements and aspects more strongly)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 9:13pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday very early morning. </strong>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating -- and although these next two days are a great time for mediation, our need for peace (and aversion to direct conflict) could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might prefer.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe may also be able to see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (April 27th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday very early morning,</strong><i> </i>we are asked to connect with others, socialize, and share information with them\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning: </strong>we are invited to make some internal adjustments. We may want to relax, slow down and enjoy life through our senses -- but we may also feel drawn to collaboration with others. Might there be a way to honor yourself while still adjusting to other peoples wishes?<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday early afternoon: </strong>we feel a need for even-handed collaboration... and for focusing on our long-term accomplishments and standing in society. As best as you can, find a creative way through this!<em> </em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late afternoon: </strong>we may need to balance wanting harmony with others, against wanting to be direct and to share ourselves without apologies.<span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><em><strong> </strong></em></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (April 28th):</strong> t<em>he Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> ( See Thursday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday late morning,</strong><em> </em>we may need to make some adjustments and find creative ways to work with the energies at play: On the one hand, we need to collaborate with others and play nice, on the other hand, we feel a deep desire to be authentic and truthful about what we want to build long-term.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday early afternoon: </strong>On the one hand, we need harmony and peace in interactions with others; on the other, we feel the need to give our long-term goals 100%. We may need to make some adjustments between these two needs that are seemingly at odds.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday night/</strong>Sunday very early morning<strong> at 1:32am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for almost 2 hours, <strong>until 3:11am EDT</strong> (Sunday early morning). Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday very early morning ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (April 29th)</strong><strong> at 3:11am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Tuesday late morning</strong>. We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s thus an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your very best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the Full Moon (exact later this evening)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning,</strong> <em>a harmonious Sun/Saturn alignment</em> becomes exact at 6:04am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday night (April 23rd) on; it will be strong until next week, Wednesday (May 2nd). </strong>Commitment and discipline are the keys to understanding our heart\'s desire right now. We face life on life\'s terms and feel up to doing so (especially when it comes to our creative self-expression).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What could I achieve if I bought 5% more joy to my long-term plans?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nParadoxically, we can also bring a more mature approach to exploring our \"inner child\" energy. How might a supportive \"inner parent\" help your \"inner child\" feel safe to play?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>6-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? Or your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)? If either of those is true, you can expect to be more blessed by this aspect :-)</i>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned earlier, the entrance of the <i>Moon into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b> started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon;</i> this will be exact today <b>(Sunday</b><b>, April 29th) at 8:58pm EDT  </b><i>in 9.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>.\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon shows us what we must release if we are to manifest anything that began soon after the last New Moon (i.e. after April 15th).\r\n\r\nFor the next two weeks, we seek the balance and integration of two polarities -- and are more aware<b> </b>of something that needs to be brought into alignment. The balance in question is between our physical attachments/connections -- symbolized by <b>Taurus</b> -- and our emotional attachments/connections (<b>Scorpio</b>).\r\n\r\nThe time of any Full Moon is always more extroverted and emotional; this particular one invites us to let go of fears, and thereby break through to the next level of our evolution.\r\n\r\nSo, here\'s this Full Moon\'s central question: What do we really want? As a society, as people, as individuals... To learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, please click here to watch my video\r\n\r\nAll right, let\'s look at the signs involved in this polarity, beginning with <b>Taurus:</b>\r\n\r\nTaurus seeks comfort and material stability. It\'s concerned with our relationship to the planet, and with the physical plane in general -- and with a hugely important part of our relationship with ourselves, namely \"self-esteem\".\r\n\r\nOf course, <b>Taurus</b> also has a shadow side: attachment to material things, especially when using them to make up for low self-esteem, seeking to feel better about ourselves through indulging in physical pleasures -- and immovability -- wanting to keep things the same, usually so we don\'t experience physical discomfort.\r\n\r\n<b>Scorpio</b>, on the other hand, craves transformation — and it seeks this in part by putting us in touch with our deepest desires and worst fears, bringing it into conscious awareness, so that we can see and release what no longer serves, or has become stale or toxic. Put another way: it helps us move from a \"survival mentality\" to a passionate engagement with life.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> Where in my life do I observe a \"survival mentality\"? In what ways have I protected myself from feelings of hurt or disempowerment?\r\n\r\nIt’s essential to bring conscious awareness to the walls we have built to feel protected and more “empowered”. Addressing past traumas and any sense of disempowerment is the only way to allow for the return of trust toward others (and life in general). By acknowledging our fears and breaking down those walls, we can transform into truly powerful beings of love and inner strength.\r\n\r\nWhat is <b>Scorpio\'s</b> shadow? Attachment to emotional connections (even if they are toxic) , avoidance of emotional pain, armoring and protecting ourselves from incidents of disempowerment that no longer exist outside of memory, trust issues, black-and-white thinking, addiction to drama and darkness (or substances)... and anything we want to prevent. Scorpio\'s shadow sees us coming from an instinctual, self-protective place, rather than from intuitive, love-based spaciousness.\r\n\r\n<b>Scorpio</b> wants to go beyond the surface, to our deeper motivations. For the next two weeks, <b>ask yourself:</b> Where do my intentions and efforts seem to get undermined? What propels my sense of attraction or repulsion? What turns me on about life? What scares me?\r\n\r\nSome <b>more questions:</b> What is coming to the surface? Could I simply allow it to? Could I temporarily suspend the need to judge it, \"understand\" it, get rid of it?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon Nodes in </i><b><i>Aquarius/Leo</i></b><i> are in a close Square to the Full Moon</i>. This creates a fixed  Grand Cross and therefore some tension -- it usually indicates a need for releasing old karmic patterns, on a collective and individual level.\r\n\r\nIf you find yourself becoming reactive within the next two weeks, <b>ask yourself:</b> Are these triggers in my relationships \"old\" or familiar? If I were completely honest with myself right now, might I find I was blowing things out of proportion a little bit? What if I took things 5% less personally, just as a brief experiment? Could I acknowledge how I feel that particular situation/feeling is part of my identity -- how it feels like it is about me or who I am? And just for right now, and just as best as I can, could I let go of that sense that \"it\'s personal\"?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon and Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> make a trine to Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>. This is a favorable aspect that supports our ability to release and heal old traumas while connecting us to our feminine energies in a supportive way; we see from new perspectives and are more able to deal with the darker side of things, through humor and a renewed approach.\r\n\r\nAllowing our fears to surface and bringing compassion and kindness to our feeling-body is a little easier for the next two weeks. <b>Ask yourself:</b> Just for today (or even just for right now), could I let go of \"survival mode\"? If I lowered my protective barriers by 5% and started to trust 5% more, what might shift in regards to intimacy with others? With myself? With life itself?\r\n\r\nHere is another exercise that you can try (I\'ve mentioned this in a previous video, but I think it\'s worth exploring again):\r\n\r\nImagine yourself in survival mode: What imagery comes to mind? Get quiet, and allow yourself to visualize your inner predator/protector. What does it look like? Could you have compassion and understanding towards that inner predator/protector?\r\n\r\nNow imagine yourself being passionately engaged with life, powerfully connected to your heart and your loving strength: What imagery comes to mind now? What does your Higher Self look like? Could you choose to embrace that divine nature fully, in this now moment?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars,</i> the traditional ruler of Scorpio,<i> </i><i>is currently in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> and aligns with Pluto </i>(the modern ruler of <b>Scorpio</b>).\r\n\r\nWe are therefore asked to look at our lives and our long-term plans. We seek empowerment from within, rather than the exertion of \"power\" over others. We are invited to act from \"the power of love\" vs. \"the love of power\" -- and remember that healthy \"self-love\" is also a form of… love! :)\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> How emotionally authentic am I being in my actions? Do I feel passionate about what I am building long-term? Am I consistently empowering <i>myself and</i> others? How am I doing at letting go of behaviors and impulses that arise from past trauma or a sense of threat?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars</i> supports us in taking actions that transform what no longer serves, and in building healthy foundations for those long-term goals. <b>Ask yourself: </b>What feels most satisfying to me personally? What are my priorities? What is my bottom line? What is the simplest next action that leads to manifesting all of that long-term? Are my actions motivated by <b>love</b> (wanting to thrive, to live full-out) or <b>fear</b> (wanting merely to protect myself and merely survive)?\r\n\r\n<i>Chiron moved into </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> just recently, and therefore the position of <i>Mars</i> is also connected to the \"Wounded Healer\". One of my hopes for the membership site was that it would free me up to make more special content for my members, and I\'m delighted to say that this is already happening. I just completed a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/chiron-in-aries-until-2027/\">special article on \"Chiron in Aries\"</a> that is only available to site Members, so please do check that out, if you haven\'t seen it yet ;-)\r\n\r\nOf course, my <i>Star</i> and <i>SuperStar Members</i> will also be automatically be invited to join the next Forecasting Forum, which will delve into Chiron\'s move into Aries in detail, looking at how it impacts our birth charts -- these membership levels can take part in the live webinar, and they also receive an emailed recording of the event (eligible members, please look out for those emails in your inbox -- you may want to flag them if they\'re going into your junk mail).\r\n\r\nIf you are a <i>Universal Member</i>, you can join us by registering <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">right here</a>... or you can also upgrade to <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\"><i>Star Membership</i></a> and join us for FREE, every month :-)\r\n\r\nAgain, we apply what happens every month to our own birth charts; in addition to Chiron’s journey through <strong>Aries</strong> until 2027, we\'ll also be looking at Uranus\'s upcoming journey through <strong>Taurus</strong>. Both of these transits promise major shifts ahead!\r\n\r\nThere\'s something else I\'d like to mention in connection with this Full Moon: <i>Saturn forms a Trine to the Sun in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> and a Sextile to the Moon in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>.</i><i> </i>\r\n\r\nThis makes it easier for us to recognize what we value most, and how to manifest it long-term in the real world -- partly by helping us stay focused on our priorities -- it is, in fact, a very favorable combination for manifesting things.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>Could focusing on my long-term goals actually help me balance physical and material priorities with any deeply emotional partnerships I may have with others? What if I brought a sense of responsibility to the table? What would being present right now do for my long-term goals?\r\n\r\nLastly, let\'s talk about <i>Venus,</i> the ruler of Taurus; she<i> </i><i>is currently in </i><b><i>Gemini.</i></b>\r\n\r\nThis has us seeking out mental stimulation: sharing, teaching, learning, writing, reading, etc…. We want to connect, learn, and share as much as possible... Note that Gemini is also connected to the media.\r\n\r\n<i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> squares Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> and makes a somewhat challenging aspect to the Mars/Pluto alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i><i> </i>\r\n\r\n<i>Venus squares Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>: </i><i>This </i>brings up the challenge of connecting the unconditional heart with the rational mind —  and challenges around introversion vs. extroversion, slow vs. fast, intuition vs. \"learning\". Not only that, with this combo, we may not always know if something is \"fact or fiction\".\r\n\r\nWe are being asked to stretch ourselves in order to resolve a tension between what our mind tells us we want, versus our need to tap into our intuitive sensing and feel our way through something. As best as you can, do not believe everything you hear -- whether externally (from others) or internally (from your own conditioned mind ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What might I hear if I listened to intuition before I share something? What if I listened to intuition while reading or watching something? What thoughts would I then share? What if I were 5% more appreciative and kind with myself and others -- especially when thoughts are being shared or processed?\r\n\r\n<b>Bonus questions:</b> What if learning was not a straight line? What if it was circular? Or like a  never-ending spiral?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus makes a somewhat challenging aspect to the Mars/Pluto alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn: </i></b><i>This</i> creates a tension and a challenge: we are called to make an effort, work hard, and learn. <b>Ask yourself: </b>Where do my words need more integrity? Might mental flexibility actually support my determination? If I made 5% more effort to choose the best words, what would that mean for my relationships? Is there anything I might not be fully allowing myself to acknowledge? What would I prefer stayed hidden to myself?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum  it all up:</b> This Full Moon reminds us that life and death are entwined, that every new beginning is an ending for something else, and vice versa. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What fears and traumas need to be investigated and made conscious, so I can be more in touch with my own worthiness, and better see my own value? What behaviors and habits need to come to an end and make way for me to create more abundance?\r\n\r\nLong-standing patterns demand to be addressed right now! The good news is that we have the persistence to do just that, and thereby step into a more fully empowered self-experience... As best as you can, therefore, release what you have outgrown, and focus where you <i>actually</i> have influence, rather than forcing things and struggling to change what you have no control over.\r\n\r\nSome <b>final questions</b>: What if there was a completely new approach to achieving “powerful leadership” in the world? What would such leadership bring about? What would long-term commitments based on trust, love and a genuine desire for a deeper, more authentic connection bring to life?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 7-12 degrees of</i><b><i> Taurus,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s Full Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>A head’s up for next Monday (April 30th):</strong> t<em>he Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </em><strong><em>Scorpio</em> all day</strong> (see Sunday early morning for details).

What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday night/</strong>Tuesday very early morning<strong>,</strong> <em>an opportune Mars/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:13am EDT.<strong> </strong><strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday evening (April 20th) on; it will be strong until Friday morning (April 27th). </strong>This aspect is an opportunity for us to tap into our optimism, enthusiasm, and sense of expansion. We are more likely to connect with others in an active and fun way.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe feel stronger, more assertive, and more straightforward -- and this goes over well with others. As with all opportunities in life, this one is not simply handed to us, we have to make something of it. What actions could you take right now, that would help create a deeper connection to others?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in <em>18-22 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Scorpio, </i></b><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (April 24th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em><strong> until 4:40pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 12:40pm EDT,</strong> <i>Venus changes signs from steady, calm, sensual</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>to chatty, social, versatile</i> <b><i>Gemini.</i></b> Venus, the energy of love, “relating\" and finances will journey through Gemini <strong>until May 19th.</strong> For the next 3.5 weeks, we value mental stimulation and frequent changes of scenery in our love relationships.\r\n\r\nWe love connecting and sharing ourselves with others. As long as we don\'t get bored, we will stick around -- but as soon as we disengage mentally, we begin to thirst for interesting conversations with new people, in new places and/or situations. Love is playful and lighthearted for the next 3.5 weeks and humor plays a part in all our relationships.\r\n\r\nOur finances might fluctuate at this time, as we don\'t invest in anything for long enough to know whether it would have actually made a profit. That said, this sign-change actually favors financial transactions that benefit from rapidity, or from widely dispersed resources -- it\'s a great time for short-term investments.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, stay open-minded and flexible toward love and finances. Curiosity towards life and love is a great gift as Venus moves through Gemini -- you never know where things will go at this time — and if nothing else, that attitude makes it hard to be bored for even a second ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel more chatty for the next 3.5 weeks. Your heart will want to connect with friends and have several activities going all at once.

We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<b> </b><b>\r\n</b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday evening,</strong> <em>an opportune Venus/Chiron aspect becomes exact</em> at 8:41pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Sunday night (April 22nd) on; it will be strong until Thursday (April 26th). </strong>It\'s an opportunity to bring healing to our wounds around relationships or our sense of self-worth.\r\n\r\nWe get a chance to love ourselves and heal deep fears of not being \"good enough\". Healing happens much faster when we can open to forgiving ourselves and others. As best as you can, bring compassion and understanding to yourself, to others, and to those past experiences that wounded you.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>28-2 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Gemini, Aries, Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>?

What came up in the last two weeks around any commitments to build something long-term? How about the need to be more realistic? How truthful are you with yourself about \"where you\'re at\"? The retrograde phase is a good time to do some internal work in these areas (the retrograde ends on Sept. 6th).\r\n\r\nWe now have 4.5 months to go over recently built business structures, to see if they are aligned with our inner truth. We are also now ready to contemplate solutions for whatever was \"in our face\" from April 9th until now -- solutions that work well both with our inner truth and our outer reality.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (April 25th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday early evening,</strong> <em>a challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:28pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday late morning (April 20th) on; it will remain strong until Saturday evening (April 28th). </strong>Due to the Mercury Retrograde phase that just ended recently, we get to experience this aspect several times; this is the third and last pass within the last 6.5 weeks. This gives us a chance to address our approach toward any misunderstandings.\r\n\r\nThis aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature. Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce. <strong>Ask yourself</strong>: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to your passions, while remaining committed to exploring them one step at a time. What is my life calling me to explore? Could I go for it (one step at a time)?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>6-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn,<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

You may also want to plan Thursday all day and evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning,</strong> <em>a Mars/Pluto alignment in 21 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> becomes exact at 7:00am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday morning (April 19th) on, it will remain strong until Tuesday evening (May 1st). </strong>This alignment connects our personal will to the Universal Will. If we feel the need to connect to something, we will feel it passionately, especially when it comes to our long-term goals and our public image.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe may feel impatient (or even obsessive) right now about our career goals. Suppressed desires surface; we will need to take actions on them, one way or another. If you are able to connect -- body and soul -- to that passion, you will be able to move towards a much higher goal. This may be a goal that is truly connected to the whole of you, perhaps even to your Soul Purpose for this lifetime.\r\n\r\nMars last aligned with Pluto in mid-October, 2016; unresolved issues from that period can now move to the next level. What were you up to back then? What does the next level look like for those ventures? What is a simple step you could take to move them there?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in <em>18-24 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this aspect more strongly than otherwise. </i><i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Mars\'s movements and aspects; Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio, so they likewise feel Pluto\'s movements and aspects more strongly)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 9:13pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday very early morning. </strong>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating -- and although these next two days are a great time for mediation, our need for peace (and aversion to direct conflict) could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might prefer.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe may also be able to see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (April 27th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday very early morning,</strong><i> </i>we are asked to connect with others, socialize, and share information with them\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning: </strong>we are invited to make some internal adjustments. We may want to relax, slow down and enjoy life through our senses -- but we may also feel drawn to collaboration with others. Might there be a way to honor yourself while still adjusting to other peoples wishes?<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday early afternoon: </strong>we feel a need for even-handed collaboration... and for focusing on our long-term accomplishments and standing in society. As best as you can, find a creative way through this!<em> </em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late afternoon: </strong>we may need to balance wanting harmony with others, against wanting to be direct and to share ourselves without apologies.<span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><em><strong> </strong></em></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (April 28th):</strong> t<em>he Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> ( See Thursday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday late morning,</strong><em> </em>we may need to make some adjustments and find creative ways to work with the energies at play: On the one hand, we need to collaborate with others and play nice, on the other hand, we feel a deep desire to be authentic and truthful about what we want to build long-term.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday early afternoon: </strong>On the one hand, we need harmony and peace in interactions with others; on the other, we feel the need to give our long-term goals 100%. We may need to make some adjustments between these two needs that are seemingly at odds.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday night/</strong>Sunday very early morning<strong> at 1:32am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for almost 2 hours, <strong>until 3:11am EDT</strong> (Sunday early morning). Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday very early morning ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (April 29th)</strong><strong> at 3:11am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Tuesday late morning</strong>. We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s thus an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your very best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the Full Moon (exact later this evening)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning,</strong> <em>a harmonious Sun/Saturn alignment</em> becomes exact at 6:04am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday night (April 23rd) on; it will be strong until next week, Wednesday (May 2nd). </strong>Commitment and discipline are the keys to understanding our heart\'s desire right now. We face life on life\'s terms and feel up to doing so (especially when it comes to our creative self-expression).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What could I achieve if I bought 5% more joy to my long-term plans?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nParadoxically, we can also bring a more mature approach to exploring our \"inner child\" energy. How might a supportive \"inner parent\" help your \"inner child\" feel safe to play?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>6-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? Or your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)? If either of those is true, you can expect to be more blessed by this aspect :-)</i>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned earlier, the entrance of the <i>Moon into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b> started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon;</i> this will be exact today <b>(Sunday</b><b>, April 29th) at 8:58pm EDT  </b><i>in 9.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>.\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon shows us what we must release if we are to manifest anything that began soon after the last New Moon (i.e. after April 15th).\r\n\r\nFor the next two weeks, we seek the balance and integration of two polarities -- and are more aware<b> </b>of something that needs to be brought into alignment. The balance in question is between our physical attachments/connections -- symbolized by <b>Taurus</b> -- and our emotional attachments/connections (<b>Scorpio</b>).\r\n\r\nThe time of any Full Moon is always more extroverted and emotional; this particular one invites us to let go of fears, and thereby break through to the next level of our evolution.\r\n\r\nSo, here\'s this Full Moon\'s central question: What do we really want? As a society, as people, as individuals... To learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, please click here to watch my video\r\n\r\nAll right, let\'s look at the signs involved in this polarity, beginning with <b>Taurus:</b>\r\n\r\nTaurus seeks comfort and material stability. It\'s concerned with our relationship to the planet, and with the physical plane in general -- and with a hugely important part of our relationship with ourselves, namely \"self-esteem\".\r\n\r\nOf course, <b>Taurus</b> also has a shadow side: attachment to material things, especially when using them to make up for low self-esteem, seeking to feel better about ourselves through indulging in physical pleasures -- and immovability -- wanting to keep things the same, usually so we don\'t experience physical discomfort.\r\n\r\n<b>Scorpio</b>, on the other hand, craves transformation — and it seeks this in part by putting us in touch with our deepest desires and worst fears, bringing it into conscious awareness, so that we can see and release what no longer serves, or has become stale or toxic. Put another way: it helps us move from a \"survival mentality\" to a passionate engagement with life.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> Where in my life do I observe a \"survival mentality\"? In what ways have I protected myself from feelings of hurt or disempowerment?\r\n\r\nIt’s essential to bring conscious awareness to the walls we have built to feel protected and more “empowered”. Addressing past traumas and any sense of disempowerment is the only way to allow for the return of trust toward others (and life in general). By acknowledging our fears and breaking down those walls, we can transform into truly powerful beings of love and inner strength.\r\n\r\nWhat is <b>Scorpio\'s</b> shadow? Attachment to emotional connections (even if they are toxic) , avoidance of emotional pain, armoring and protecting ourselves from incidents of disempowerment that no longer exist outside of memory, trust issues, black-and-white thinking, addiction to drama and darkness (or substances)... and anything we want to prevent. Scorpio\'s shadow sees us coming from an instinctual, self-protective place, rather than from intuitive, love-based spaciousness.\r\n\r\n<b>Scorpio</b> wants to go beyond the surface, to our deeper motivations. For the next two weeks, <b>ask yourself:</b> Where do my intentions and efforts seem to get undermined? What propels my sense of attraction or repulsion? What turns me on about life? What scares me?\r\n\r\nSome <b>more questions:</b> What is coming to the surface? Could I simply allow it to? Could I temporarily suspend the need to judge it, \"understand\" it, get rid of it?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon Nodes in </i><b><i>Aquarius/Leo</i></b><i> are in a close Square to the Full Moon</i>. This creates a fixed  Grand Cross and therefore some tension -- it usually indicates a need for releasing old karmic patterns, on a collective and individual level.\r\n\r\nIf you find yourself becoming reactive within the next two weeks, <b>ask yourself:</b> Are these triggers in my relationships \"old\" or familiar? If I were completely honest with myself right now, might I find I was blowing things out of proportion a little bit? What if I took things 5% less personally, just as a brief experiment? Could I acknowledge how I feel that particular situation/feeling is part of my identity -- how it feels like it is about me or who I am? And just for right now, and just as best as I can, could I let go of that sense that \"it\'s personal\"?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon and Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> make a trine to Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>. This is a favorable aspect that supports our ability to release and heal old traumas while connecting us to our feminine energies in a supportive way; we see from new perspectives and are more able to deal with the darker side of things, through humor and a renewed approach.\r\n\r\nAllowing our fears to surface and bringing compassion and kindness to our feeling-body is a little easier for the next two weeks. <b>Ask yourself:</b> Just for today (or even just for right now), could I let go of \"survival mode\"? If I lowered my protective barriers by 5% and started to trust 5% more, what might shift in regards to intimacy with others? With myself? With life itself?\r\n\r\nHere is another exercise that you can try (I\'ve mentioned this in a previous video, but I think it\'s worth exploring again):\r\n\r\nImagine yourself in survival mode: What imagery comes to mind? Get quiet, and allow yourself to visualize your inner predator/protector. What does it look like? Could you have compassion and understanding towards that inner predator/protector?\r\n\r\nNow imagine yourself being passionately engaged with life, powerfully connected to your heart and your loving strength: What imagery comes to mind now? What does your Higher Self look like? Could you choose to embrace that divine nature fully, in this now moment?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars,</i> the traditional ruler of Scorpio,<i> </i><i>is currently in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> and aligns with Pluto </i>(the modern ruler of <b>Scorpio</b>).\r\n\r\nWe are therefore asked to look at our lives and our long-term plans. We seek empowerment from within, rather than the exertion of \"power\" over others. We are invited to act from \"the power of love\" vs. \"the love of power\" -- and remember that healthy \"self-love\" is also a form of… love! :)\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> How emotionally authentic am I being in my actions? Do I feel passionate about what I am building long-term? Am I consistently empowering <i>myself and</i> others? How am I doing at letting go of behaviors and impulses that arise from past trauma or a sense of threat?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars</i> supports us in taking actions that transform what no longer serves, and in building healthy foundations for those long-term goals. <b>Ask yourself: </b>What feels most satisfying to me personally? What are my priorities? What is my bottom line? What is the simplest next action that leads to manifesting all of that long-term? Are my actions motivated by <b>love</b> (wanting to thrive, to live full-out) or <b>fear</b> (wanting merely to protect myself and merely survive)?\r\n\r\n<i>Chiron moved into </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> just recently, and therefore the position of <i>Mars</i> is also connected to the \"Wounded Healer\".\r\n\r\nOne of my hopes for the membership site was that it would free me up to make more special content for my members, and I\'m delighted to say that this is already happening. I just completed a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/chiron-in-aries-until-2027/\">special article on \"Chiron in Aries\"</a> that is only available to site Members, so please do check that out, if you haven\'t seen it yet ;-)\r\n\r\nOf course, my <i>Star</i> and <i>SuperStar Members</i> will also be automatically be invited to join the next Forecasting Forum, which will delve into Chiron\'s move into Aries in detail, looking at how it impacts our birth charts -- these membership levels can take part in the live webinar, and they also receive an emailed recording of the event (eligible members, please look out for those emails in your inbox -- you may want to flag them if they\'re going into your junk mail).\r\n\r\nIf you are a <i>Universal Member</i>, you can join us by registering <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">right here</a>... or you can also upgrade to <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\"><i>Star Membership</i></a> and join us for FREE, every month :-)\r\n\r\nAgain, we apply what happens every month to our own birth charts; in addition to Chiron’s journey through <strong>Aries</strong> until 2027, we\'ll also be looking at Uranus\'s upcoming journey through <strong>Taurus</strong>. Both of these transits promise major shifts ahead!\r\n\r\nThere\'s something else I\'d like to mention in connection with this Full Moon: <i>Saturn forms a Trine to the Sun in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> and a Sextile to the Moon in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>.</i><i> </i>\r\n\r\nThis makes it easier for us to recognize what we value most, and how to manifest it long-term in the real world -- partly by helping us stay focused on our priorities -- it is, in fact, a very favorable combination for manifesting things.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>Could focusing on my long-term goals actually help me balance physical and material priorities with any deeply emotional partnerships I may have with others? What if I brought a sense of responsibility to the table? What would being present right now do for my long-term goals?\r\n\r\nLastly, let\'s talk about <i>Venus,</i> the ruler of Taurus; she<i> </i><i>is currently in </i><b><i>Gemini.</i></b>\r\n\r\nThis has us seeking out mental stimulation: sharing, teaching, learning, writing, reading, etc…. We want to connect, learn, and share as much as possible... Note that Gemini is also connected to the media.\r\n\r\n<i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> squares Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> and makes a somewhat challenging aspect to the Mars/Pluto alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i><i> </i>\r\n\r\n<i>Venus squares Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>: </i><i>This </i>brings up the challenge of connecting the unconditional heart with the rational mind —  and challenges around introversion vs. extroversion, slow vs. fast, intuition vs. \"learning\". Not only that, with this combo, we may not always know if something is \"fact or fiction\".\r\n\r\nWe are being asked to stretch ourselves in order to resolve a tension between what our mind tells us we want, versus our need to tap into our intuitive sensing and feel our way through something. As best as you can, do not believe everything you hear -- whether externally (from others) or internally (from your own conditioned mind ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What might I hear if I listened to intuition before I share something? What if I listened to intuition while reading or watching something? What thoughts would I then share? What if I were 5% more appreciative and kind with myself and others -- especially when thoughts are being shared or processed?\r\n\r\n<b>Bonus questions:</b> What if learning was not a straight line? What if it was circular? Or like a  never-ending spiral?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus makes a somewhat challenging aspect to the Mars/Pluto alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn: </i></b><i>This</i> creates a tension and a challenge: we are called to make an effort, work hard, and learn. <b>Ask yourself: </b>Where do my words need more integrity? Might mental flexibility actually support my determination? If I made 5% more effort to choose the best words, what would that mean for my relationships? Is there anything I might not be fully allowing myself to acknowledge? What would I prefer stayed hidden to myself?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum  it all up:</b> This Full Moon reminds us that life and death are entwined, that every new beginning is an ending for something else, and vice versa. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What fears and traumas need to be investigated and made conscious, so I can be more in touch with my own worthiness, and better see my own value? What behaviors and habits need to come to an end and make way for me to create more abundance?\r\n\r\nLong-standing patterns demand to be addressed right now! The good news is that we have the persistence to do just that, and thereby step into a more fully empowered self-experience... As best as you can, therefore, release what you have outgrown, and focus where you <i>actually</i> have influence, rather than forcing things and struggling to change what you have no control over.\r\n\r\nSome <b>final questions</b>: What if there was a completely new approach to achieving “powerful leadership” in the world? What would such leadership bring about? What would long-term commitments based on trust, love and a genuine desire for a deeper, more authentic connection bring to life?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 7-12 degrees of</i><b><i> Taurus,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s Full Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>A head’s up for next Monday (April 30th):</strong> t<em>he Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </em><strong><em>Scorpio</em> all day</strong> (see Sunday early morning for details). Also<strong> on Monday at 10:56pm EDT,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> that will last almost 12.5 hours,<strong> until 11:20am EDT</strong> (Tuesday late afternoon).

What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday night/</strong>Tuesday very early morning<strong>,</strong> <em>an opportune Mars/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:13am EDT.<strong> </strong><strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday evening (April 20th) on; it will be strong until Friday morning (April 27th). </strong>This aspect is an opportunity for us to tap into our optimism, enthusiasm, and sense of expansion. We are more likely to connect with others in an active and fun way.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe feel stronger, more assertive, and more straightforward -- and this goes over well with others. As with all opportunities in life, this one is not simply handed to us, we have to make something of it. What actions could you take right now, that would help create a deeper connection to others?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in <em>18-22 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Scorpio, </i></b><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (April 24th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em><strong> until 4:40pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 12:40pm EDT,</strong> <i>Venus changes signs from steady, calm, sensual</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>to chatty, social, versatile</i> <b><i>Gemini.</i></b> Venus, the energy of love, “relating\" and finances will journey through Gemini <strong>until May 19th.</strong> For the next 3.5 weeks, we value mental stimulation and frequent changes of scenery in our love relationships.\r\n\r\nWe love connecting and sharing ourselves with others. As long as we don\'t get bored, we will stick around -- but as soon as we disengage mentally, we begin to thirst for interesting conversations with new people, in new places and/or situations. Love is playful and lighthearted for the next 3.5 weeks and humor plays a part in all our relationships.\r\n\r\nOur finances might fluctuate at this time, as we don\'t invest in anything for long enough to know whether it would have actually made a profit. That said, this sign-change actually favors financial transactions that benefit from rapidity, or from widely dispersed resources -- it\'s a great time for short-term investments.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, stay open-minded and flexible toward love and finances. Curiosity towards life and love is a great gift as Venus moves through Gemini -- you never know where things will go at this time — and if nothing else, that attitude makes it hard to be bored for even a second ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel more chatty for the next 3.5 weeks. Your heart will want to connect with friends and have several activities going all at once. Learning or teaching something new might be just the thing for you to do right now. If you are a</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to have more love and beauty in your life for as long as Venus is in your sign</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 2:40pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 2 hours, <strong>until 4:40pm EDT</strong>. During this intuitive time, have fun connecting with others and doing things that bring you joy — explore something different, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday afternoon ahead of time.<span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 4:40pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Thursday evening</strong>; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<b> </b><b>\r\n</b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday evening,</strong> <em>an opportune Venus/Chiron aspect becomes exact</em> at 8:41pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Sunday night (April 22nd) on; it will be strong until Thursday (April 26th). </strong>It\'s an opportunity to bring healing to our wounds around relationships or our sense of self-worth.\r\n\r\nWe get a chance to love ourselves and heal deep fears of not being \"good enough\". Healing happens much faster when we can open to forgiving ourselves and others. As best as you can, bring compassion and understanding to yourself, to others, and to those past experiences that wounded you.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>28-2 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Gemini, Aries, Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Libra </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso<strong> on Tuesday,</strong> although now retrograde, <i>Saturn resumes its normal pace through the sky, ending its station</i>. What came up in the last two weeks around any commitments to build something long-term? How about the need to be more realistic? How truthful are you with yourself about \"where you\'re at\"? The retrograde phase is a good time to do some internal work in these areas (the retrograde ends on Sept. 6th).\r\n\r\nWe now have 4.5 months to go over recently built business structures, to see if they are aligned with our inner truth. We are also now ready to contemplate solutions for whatever was \"in our face\" from April 9th until now -- solutions that work well both with our inner truth and our outer reality.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (April 25th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday early evening,</strong> <em>a challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:28pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday late morning (April 20th) on; it will remain strong until Saturday evening (April 28th). </strong>Due to the Mercury Retrograde phase that just ended recently, we get to experience this aspect several times; this is the third and last pass within the last 6.5 weeks. This gives us a chance to address our approach toward any misunderstandings.\r\n\r\nThis aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature. Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce. <strong>Ask yourself</strong>: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to your passions, while remaining committed to exploring them one step at a time. What is my life calling me to explore? Could I go for it (one step at a time)?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>6-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn,<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Saturn rules Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (April 26th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> until 9:13pm EDT</strong> (see Tuesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 5:49am EDT,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for almost 15.5 hours, <strong>until 9:13pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to empower each other and mutually support each other in practical ways.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday all day and evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning,</strong> <em>a Mars/Pluto alignment in 21 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> becomes exact at 7:00am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday morning (April 19th) on, it will remain strong until Tuesday evening (May 1st). </strong>This alignment connects our personal will to the Universal Will. If we feel the need to connect to something, we will feel it passionately, especially when it comes to our long-term goals and our public image.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe may feel impatient (or even obsessive) right now about our career goals. Suppressed desires surface; we will need to take actions on them, one way or another. If you are able to connect -- body and soul -- to that passion, you will be able to move towards a much higher goal. This may be a goal that is truly connected to the whole of you, perhaps even to your Soul Purpose for this lifetime.\r\n\r\nMars last aligned with Pluto in mid-October, 2016; unresolved issues from that period can now move to the next level. What were you up to back then? What does the next level look like for those ventures? What is a simple step you could take to move them there?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in <em>18-24 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this aspect more strongly than otherwise. </i><i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Mars\'s movements and aspects; Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio, so they likewise feel Pluto\'s movements and aspects more strongly)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 9:13pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday very early morning. </strong>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating -- and although these next two days are a great time for mediation, our need for peace (and aversion to direct conflict) could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might prefer.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe may also be able to see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (April 27th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday very early morning,</strong><i> </i>we are asked to connect with others, socialize, and share information with them\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning: </strong>we are invited to make some internal adjustments. We may want to relax, slow down and enjoy life through our senses -- but we may also feel drawn to collaboration with others. Might there be a way to honor yourself while still adjusting to other peoples wishes?<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday early afternoon: </strong>we feel a need for even-handed collaboration... and for focusing on our long-term accomplishments and standing in society. As best as you can, find a creative way through this!<em> </em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late afternoon: </strong>we may need to balance wanting harmony with others, against wanting to be direct and to share ourselves without apologies.<span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><em><strong> </strong></em></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (April 28th):</strong> t<em>he Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> ( See Thursday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday late morning,</strong><em> </em>we may need to make some adjustments and find creative ways to work with the energies at play: On the one hand, we need to collaborate with others and play nice, on the other hand, we feel a deep desire to be authentic and truthful about what we want to build long-term.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday early afternoon: </strong>On the one hand, we need harmony and peace in interactions with others; on the other, we feel the need to give our long-term goals 100%. We may need to make some adjustments between these two needs that are seemingly at odds.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday night/</strong>Sunday very early morning<strong> at 1:32am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for almost 2 hours, <strong>until 3:11am EDT</strong> (Sunday early morning). Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday very early morning ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (April 29th)</strong><strong> at 3:11am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Tuesday late morning</strong>. We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s thus an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your very best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the Full Moon (exact later this evening)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning,</strong> <em>a harmonious Sun/Saturn alignment</em> becomes exact at 6:04am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday night (April 23rd) on; it will be strong until next week, Wednesday (May 2nd). </strong>Commitment and discipline are the keys to understanding our heart\'s desire right now. We face life on life\'s terms and feel up to doing so (especially when it comes to our creative self-expression).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What could I achieve if I bought 5% more joy to my long-term plans?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nParadoxically, we can also bring a more mature approach to exploring our \"inner child\" energy. How might a supportive \"inner parent\" help your \"inner child\" feel safe to play?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>6-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? Or your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)? If either of those is true, you can expect to be more blessed by this aspect :-)</i>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned earlier, the entrance of the <i>Moon into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b> started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon;</i> this will be exact today <b>(Sunday</b><b>, April 29th) at 8:58pm EDT  </b><i>in 9.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>.\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon shows us what we must release if we are to manifest anything that began soon after the last New Moon (i.e. after April 15th).\r\n\r\nFor the next two weeks, we seek the balance and integration of two polarities -- and are more aware<b> </b>of something that needs to be brought into alignment. The balance in question is between our physical attachments/connections -- symbolized by <b>Taurus</b> -- and our emotional attachments/connections (<b>Scorpio</b>).\r\n\r\nThe time of any Full Moon is always more extroverted and emotional; this particular one invites us to let go of fears, and thereby break through to the next level of our evolution.\r\n\r\nSo, here\'s this Full Moon\'s central question: What do we really want? As a society, as people, as individuals... To learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, please click here to watch my video\r\n\r\nAll right, let\'s look at the signs involved in this polarity, beginning with <b>Taurus:</b>\r\n\r\nTaurus seeks comfort and material stability. It\'s concerned with our relationship to the planet, and with the physical plane in general -- and with a hugely important part of our relationship with ourselves, namely \"self-esteem\".\r\n\r\nOf course, <b>Taurus</b> also has a shadow side: attachment to material things, especially when using them to make up for low self-esteem, seeking to feel better about ourselves through indulging in physical pleasures -- and immovability -- wanting to keep things the same, usually so we don\'t experience physical discomfort.\r\n\r\n<b>Scorpio</b>, on the other hand, craves transformation — and it seeks this in part by putting us in touch with our deepest desires and worst fears, bringing it into conscious awareness, so that we can see and release what no longer serves, or has become stale or toxic. Put another way: it helps us move from a \"survival mentality\" to a passionate engagement with life.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> Where in my life do I observe a \"survival mentality\"? In what ways have I protected myself from feelings of hurt or disempowerment?\r\n\r\nIt’s essential to bring conscious awareness to the walls we have built to feel protected and more “empowered”. Addressing past traumas and any sense of disempowerment is the only way to allow for the return of trust toward others (and life in general). By acknowledging our fears and breaking down those walls, we can transform into truly powerful beings of love and inner strength.\r\n\r\nWhat is <b>Scorpio\'s</b> shadow? Attachment to emotional connections (even if they are toxic) , avoidance of emotional pain, armoring and protecting ourselves from incidents of disempowerment that no longer exist outside of memory, trust issues, black-and-white thinking, addiction to drama and darkness (or substances)... and anything we want to prevent. Scorpio\'s shadow sees us coming from an instinctual, self-protective place, rather than from intuitive, love-based spaciousness.\r\n\r\n<b>Scorpio</b> wants to go beyond the surface, to our deeper motivations. For the next two weeks, <b>ask yourself:</b> Where do my intentions and efforts seem to get undermined? What propels my sense of attraction or repulsion? What turns me on about life? What scares me?\r\n\r\nSome <b>more questions:</b> What is coming to the surface? Could I simply allow it to? Could I temporarily suspend the need to judge it, \"understand\" it, get rid of it?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon Nodes in </i><b><i>Aquarius/Leo</i></b><i> are in a close Square to the Full Moon</i>. This creates a fixed  Grand Cross and therefore some tension -- it usually indicates a need for releasing old karmic patterns, on a collective and individual level.\r\n\r\nIf you find yourself becoming reactive within the next two weeks, <b>ask yourself:</b> Are these triggers in my relationships \"old\" or familiar? If I were completely honest with myself right now, might I find I was blowing things out of proportion a little bit? What if I took things 5% less personally, just as a brief experiment? Could I acknowledge how I feel that particular situation/feeling is part of my identity -- how it feels like it is about me or who I am? And just for right now, and just as best as I can, could I let go of that sense that \"it\'s personal\"?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon and Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> make a trine to Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>. This is a favorable aspect that supports our ability to release and heal old traumas while connecting us to our feminine energies in a supportive way; we see from new perspectives and are more able to deal with the darker side of things, through humor and a renewed approach.\r\n\r\nAllowing our fears to surface and bringing compassion and kindness to our feeling-body is a little easier for the next two weeks. <b>Ask yourself:</b> Just for today (or even just for right now), could I let go of \"survival mode\"? If I lowered my protective barriers by 5% and started to trust 5% more, what might shift in regards to intimacy with others? With myself? With life itself?\r\n\r\nHere is another exercise that you can try (I\'ve mentioned this in a previous video, but I think it\'s worth exploring again):\r\n\r\nImagine yourself in survival mode: What imagery comes to mind? Get quiet, and allow yourself to visualize your inner predator/protector. What does it look like? Could you have compassion and understanding towards that inner predator/protector?\r\n\r\nNow imagine yourself being passionately engaged with life, powerfully connected to your heart and your loving strength: What imagery comes to mind now? What does your Higher Self look like? Could you choose to embrace that divine nature fully, in this now moment?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars,</i> the traditional ruler of Scorpio,<i> </i><i>is currently in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> and aligns with Pluto </i>(the modern ruler of <b>Scorpio</b>).\r\n\r\nWe are therefore asked to look at our lives and our long-term plans. We seek empowerment from within, rather than the exertion of \"power\" over others. We are invited to act from \"the power of love\" vs. \"the love of power\" -- and remember that healthy \"self-love\" is also a form of… love! :)\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> How emotionally authentic am I being in my actions? Do I feel passionate about what I am building long-term? Am I consistently empowering <i>myself and</i> others? How am I doing at letting go of behaviors and impulses that arise from past trauma or a sense of threat?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars</i> supports us in taking actions that transform what no longer serves, and in building healthy foundations for those long-term goals. <b>Ask yourself: </b>What feels most satisfying to me personally? What are my priorities? What is my bottom line? What is the simplest next action that leads to manifesting all of that long-term? Are my actions motivated by <b>love</b> (wanting to thrive, to live full-out) or <b>fear</b> (wanting merely to protect myself and merely survive)?\r\n\r\n<i>Chiron moved into </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> just recently, and therefore the position of <i>Mars</i> is also connected to the \"Wounded Healer\".\r\n\r\nOne of my hopes for the membership site was that it would free me up to make more special content for my members, and I\'m delighted to say that this is already happening. I just completed a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/chiron-in-aries-until-2027/\">special article on \"Chiron in Aries\"</a> that is only available to site Members, so please do check that out, if you haven\'t seen it yet ;-)\r\n\r\nOf course, my <i>Star</i> and <i>SuperStar Members</i> will also be automatically be invited to join the next Forecasting Forum, which will delve into Chiron\'s move into Aries in detail, looking at how it impacts our birth charts -- these membership levels can take part in the live webinar, and they also receive an emailed recording of the event (eligible members, please look out for those emails in your inbox -- you may want to flag them if they\'re going into your junk mail).\r\n\r\nIf you are a <i>Universal Member</i>, you can join us by registering <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">right here</a>... or you can also upgrade to <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\"><i>Star Membership</i></a> and join us for FREE, every month :-)\r\n\r\nAgain, we apply what happens every month to our own birth charts; in addition to Chiron’s journey through <strong>Aries</strong> until 2027, we\'ll also be looking at Uranus\'s upcoming journey through <strong>Taurus</strong>. Both of these transits promise major shifts ahead!\r\n\r\nThere\'s something else I\'d like to mention in connection with this Full Moon: <i>Saturn forms a Trine to the Sun in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> and a Sextile to the Moon in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>.</i><i> </i>\r\n\r\nThis makes it easier for us to recognize what we value most, and how to manifest it long-term in the real world -- partly by helping us stay focused on our priorities -- it is, in fact, a very favorable combination for manifesting things.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>Could focusing on my long-term goals actually help me balance physical and material priorities with any deeply emotional partnerships I may have with others? What if I brought a sense of responsibility to the table? What would being present right now do for my long-term goals?\r\n\r\nLastly, let\'s talk about <i>Venus,</i> the ruler of Taurus; she<i> </i><i>is currently in </i><b><i>Gemini.</i></b>\r\n\r\nThis has us seeking out mental stimulation: sharing, teaching, learning, writing, reading, etc…. We want to connect, learn, and share as much as possible... Note that Gemini is also connected to the media.\r\n\r\n<i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> squares Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> and makes a somewhat challenging aspect to the Mars/Pluto alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i><i> </i>\r\n\r\n<i>Venus squares Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>: </i><i>This </i>brings up the challenge of connecting the unconditional heart with the rational mind —  and challenges around introversion vs. extroversion, slow vs. fast, intuition vs. \"learning\". Not only that, with this combo, we may not always know if something is \"fact or fiction\".\r\n\r\nWe are being asked to stretch ourselves in order to resolve a tension between what our mind tells us we want, versus our need to tap into our intuitive sensing and feel our way through something. As best as you can, do not believe everything you hear -- whether externally (from others) or internally (from your own conditioned mind ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What might I hear if I listened to intuition before I share something? What if I listened to intuition while reading or watching something? What thoughts would I then share? What if I were 5% more appreciative and kind with myself and others -- especially when thoughts are being shared or processed?\r\n\r\n<b>Bonus questions:</b> What if learning was not a straight line? What if it was circular? Or like a  never-ending spiral?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus makes a somewhat challenging aspect to the Mars/Pluto alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn: </i></b><i>This</i> creates a tension and a challenge: we are called to make an effort, work hard, and learn. <b>Ask yourself: </b>Where do my words need more integrity? Might mental flexibility actually support my determination? If I made 5% more effort to choose the best words, what would that mean for my relationships? Is there anything I might not be fully allowing myself to acknowledge? What would I prefer stayed hidden to myself?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum  it all up:</b> This Full Moon reminds us that life and death are entwined, that every new beginning is an ending for something else, and vice versa. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What fears and traumas need to be investigated and made conscious, so I can be more in touch with my own worthiness, and better see my own value? What behaviors and habits need to come to an end and make way for me to create more abundance?\r\n\r\nLong-standing patterns demand to be addressed right now! The good news is that we have the persistence to do just that, and thereby step into a more fully empowered self-experience... As best as you can, therefore, release what you have outgrown, and focus where you <i>actually</i> have influence, rather than forcing things and struggling to change what you have no control over.\r\n\r\nSome <b>final questions</b>: What if there was a completely new approach to achieving “powerful leadership” in the world? What would such leadership bring about? What would long-term commitments based on trust, love and a genuine desire for a deeper, more authentic connection bring to life?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 7-12 degrees of</i><b><i> Taurus,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s Full Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>A head’s up for next Monday (April 30th):</strong> t<em>he Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </em><strong><em>Scorpio</em> all day</strong> (see Sunday early morning for details).

In addition, there will be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: Monday late evening (for almost 12.5 hours), Thursday late evening (almost 1.5 hours) and Sunday late morning (1 hour).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (April 30th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </em><strong>Scorpio</strong> <b>until<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> Tuesday late morning. </span></b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 10:56pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for almost...\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\r\n<strong> GET IT ALL!

We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late evening,</strong> <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 10:24pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Tuesday early morning on, it will be strong until Wednesday evening. </strong>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward, and need to make a choice; we must develop inner awareness to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\nIt can be hard to see what we are actually responsible for in relationships, so we sometimes take on unnecessary responsibilities, to ensure the relationships continue. We may ask ourselves: \"Do people like me for myself, or for what I do for them?\" If you\'re confused on this point (or any point), as best as you can, keep choosing the \"better\" alternative and make adjustments as necessary.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>8-10 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 2nd):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking <strong>Sagittarius</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday early morning, </strong>we are asked to balance our need to venture beyond our day-to-day mind with our desire for mentally stimulating encounters.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late morning, </strong>we experience a need for inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice.\r\n\r\nMaking this choice demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to mentally explore and go beyond what we already know — and on the other hand, the need to keep it real and connected to the physical plane.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday evening,</strong><em> </em>we may need to make some adjustments again. As best you can, honor both your need for adventure and exploration of life <i>and</i> your need to go within.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nYou may also feel a pull between introvert and extrovert, or simply fast and slow. Tune in for a moment and see if you need to take a break or at least slow down a little. As best as you can, be compassionate and kind to yourself.<span style=\"color: #993300;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (May 3rd):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking <strong>Sagittarius</strong></em> <strong>until 10:06pm EDT</strong> (see Tuesday late morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 8:50pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for almost 1.5 hours, <strong>until 10:06pm EDT. </strong>Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self — explore, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday late evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 10:06pm</strong> <strong>EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters practical, accomplishment-oriented <strong>Capricorn,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday late morning. </strong>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\nAlso<strong> on Thursday</strong>, <em>Mercury\'s shadow phase ends</em>.<em> </em>As you may recall, on April 15th, when Mercury stationed direct, I mentioned Mercury shadow phases as well: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it\'s best to avoid the periods shortly before Mercury goes retrograde and after Mercury goes direct. This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.)\r\n\r\nThe good news is, this shadow phase ends<b> </b>today (<strong>Thursday late afternoon, around 4:40pm EDT</strong>) when Mercury reaches 16º54\' of <b>Aries</b>; this means that we can finally go ahead and book those plane tickets -- or buy that new car or iPhone (or anything else communication- or transportation-related). We can also more easily take in new information, so teaching, sharing and learning will be more effective. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">Click here to read my blog on the subject</a>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (May 4th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </em><strong>Capricorn</strong><strong> all day (</strong>see Thursday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late afternoon,</strong><em><strong> </strong></em>we experience a sense of maturity, and we have a need for making commitments towards ourselves and our long-term goals. For long-term success, focus on projects that require a realistic approach or a solid commitment.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late evening, </strong>we are in invited to make some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice.\r\n\r\nMaking this choice demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to connect and share ourselves with others — and on the other, the need to accomplish something out there in the real world, and to be responsible and self-reliant.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (May 5th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </em><strong>Capricorn</strong><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday morning</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Mercury/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 7:05am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday morning on, it will remain strong until Sunday morning. </strong>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed if we’re to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\nThis aspect is a fork in the road: Do we go after our personal goals? Or investigate on a deeper level what\'s been holding us back? Awareness is key with this aspect: What demands to be done? What would a broader view show us? How might we use what we then see?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <em>18-20 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\nAlso<strong> on Saturday,</strong> <i>Pluto resumes its normal pace through the sky, ending its station</i><i>. </i>What has come up in the last three-four weeks around long-term goals? How empowered or disempowered do you feel about them? Now is a good time to do some internal work in this area...\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 6th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </em><strong>Capricorn</strong> <strong>until 10:48am EDT</strong> (see Thursday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 9:48am EDT</strong>, we enter a brief <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC),</a> that last for an hour, <strong>until 10:48am EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to make adjustments and (as best as you can) find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations: On the one hand, a need for serious, diligent accomplishment -- and on the other, a desire to break free and rebel against obligations.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC,</a> as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday late morning ahead of time. <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon squares Uranus in Aries).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late morning</strong>, <em>an opportune Sun/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 9:56am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday morning on, it will remain strong until Tuesday morning. </strong>This aspect is an opportunity both to dissolve what no longer serves us and to connect to our intuition. We definitely feel inspired. It’s also a great time to allow a sense of flow and faith in our financial standings.\r\n\r\nOur capacity for compassion (both toward ourselves and others) is quite strong, especially if we are able to acknowledge it. Dreams and reality find a way to work together now -- any spiritual or creative endeavors that are started during this time will most likely do very well -- and it feels great to donate time or money to favored causes.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nRemember that this is an \"opportunity\" -- it isn\'t just handed to us, we have to make it happen.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>14-18 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 10:48am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters freedom-loving, forward-thinking <strong>Aquarius,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until next week, Tuesday late evening (May 8th). </strong>The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount. This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Monday late evening -- May 7th).\r\n\r\n<strong>A heads-up for next Monday (May 7th):</strong> t<em>he Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking <strong>Aquarius</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Sunday late morning for details). <strong>Monday early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/ Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:52am EDT; and <strong>in the late afternoon</strong>, <em>a challenging Venus/ Neptune</em> aspect becomes exact at 5:58pm EDT.

What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday night/</strong>Tuesday very early morning<strong>,</strong> <em>an opportune Mars/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:13am EDT.<strong> </strong><strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday evening (April 20th) on; it will be strong until Friday morning (April 27th). </strong>This aspect is an opportunity for us to tap into our optimism, enthusiasm, and sense of expansion. We are more likely to connect with others in an active and fun way.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe feel stronger, more assertive, and more straightforward -- and this goes over well with others. As with all opportunities in life, this one is not simply handed to us, we have to make something of it. What actions could you take right now, that would help create a deeper connection to others?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in <em>18-22 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Scorpio, </i></b><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (April 24th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em><strong> until 4:40pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 12:40pm EDT,</strong> <i>Venus changes signs from steady, calm, sensual</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>to chatty, social, versatile</i> <b><i>Gemini.</i></b> Venus, the energy of love, “relating\" and finances will journey through Gemini <strong>until May 19th.</strong> For the next 3.5 weeks, we value mental stimulation and frequent changes of scenery in our love relationships.\r\n\r\nWe love connecting and sharing ourselves with others. As long as we don\'t get bored, we will stick around -- but as soon as we disengage mentally, we begin to thirst for interesting conversations with new people, in new places and/or situations. Love is playful and lighthearted for the next 3.5 weeks and humor plays a part in all our relationships.\r\n\r\nOur finances might fluctuate at this time, as we don\'t invest in anything for long enough to know whether it would have actually made a profit. That said, this sign-change actually favors financial transactions that benefit from rapidity, or from widely dispersed resources -- it\'s a great time for short-term investments.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, stay open-minded and flexible toward love and finances. Curiosity towards life and love is a great gift as Venus moves through Gemini -- you never know where things will go at this time — and if nothing else, that attitude makes it hard to be bored for even a second ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel more chatty for the next 3.5 weeks. Your heart will want to connect with friends and have several activities going all at once. Learning or teaching something new might be just the thing for you to do right now. If you are a</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to have more love and beauty in your life for as long as Venus is in your sign</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 2:40pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 2 hours, <strong>until 4:40pm EDT</strong>. During this intuitive time, have fun connecting with others and doing things that bring you joy — explore something different, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday afternoon ahead of time.<span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 4:40pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Thursday evening</strong>; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<b> </b><b>\r\n</b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday evening,</strong> <em>an opportune Venus/Chiron aspect becomes exact</em> at 8:41pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Sunday night (April 22nd) on; it will be strong until Thursday (April 26th). </strong>It\'s an opportunity to bring healing to our wounds around relationships or our sense of self-worth.\r\n\r\nWe get a chance to love ourselves and heal deep fears of not being \"good enough\". Healing happens much faster when we can open to forgiving ourselves and others. As best as you can, bring compassion and understanding to yourself, to others, and to those past experiences that wounded you.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>28-2 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Gemini, Aries, Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Libra </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso<strong> on Tuesday,</strong> although now retrograde, <i>Saturn resumes its normal pace through the sky, ending its station</i>. What came up in the last two weeks around any commitments to build something long-term? How about the need to be more realistic? How truthful are you with yourself about \"where you\'re at\"? The retrograde phase is a good time to do some internal work in these areas (the retrograde ends on Sept. 6th).\r\n\r\nWe now have 4.5 months to go over recently built business structures, to see if they are aligned with our inner truth. We are also now ready to contemplate solutions for whatever was \"in our face\" from April 9th until now -- solutions that work well both with our inner truth and our outer reality.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (April 25th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday early evening,</strong> <em>a challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:28pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday late morning (April 20th) on; it will remain strong until Saturday evening (April 28th). </strong>Due to the Mercury Retrograde phase that just ended recently, we get to experience this aspect several times; this is the third and last pass within the last 6.5 weeks. This gives us a chance to address our approach toward any misunderstandings.\r\n\r\nThis aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature. Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce. <strong>Ask yourself</strong>: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to your passions, while remaining committed to exploring them one step at a time. What is my life calling me to explore? Could I go for it (one step at a time)?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>6-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn,<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Saturn rules Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (April 26th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> until 9:13pm EDT</strong> (see Tuesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 5:49am EDT,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for almost 15.5 hours, <strong>until 9:13pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to empower each other and mutually support each other in practical ways.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday all day and evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning,</strong> <em>a Mars/Pluto alignment in 21 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> becomes exact at 7:00am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday morning (April 19th) on, it will remain strong until Tuesday evening (May 1st). </strong>This alignment connects our personal will to the Universal Will. If we feel the need to connect to something, we will feel it passionately, especially when it comes to our long-term goals and our public image.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe may feel impatient (or even obsessive) right now about our career goals. Suppressed desires surface; we will need to take actions on them, one way or another. If you are able to connect -- body and soul -- to that passion, you will be able to move towards a much higher goal. This may be a goal that is truly connected to the whole of you, perhaps even to your Soul Purpose for this lifetime.\r\n\r\nMars last aligned with Pluto in mid-October, 2016; unresolved issues from that period can now move to the next level. What were you up to back then? What does the next level look like for those ventures? What is a simple step you could take to move them there?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in <em>18-24 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this aspect more strongly than otherwise. </i><i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Mars\'s movements and aspects; Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio, so they likewise feel Pluto\'s movements and aspects more strongly)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 9:13pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday very early morning. </strong>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating -- and although these next two days are a great time for mediation, our need for peace (and aversion to direct conflict) could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might prefer.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe may also be able to see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (April 27th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday very early morning,</strong><i> </i>we are asked to connect with others, socialize, and share information with them\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning: </strong>we are invited to make some internal adjustments. We may want to relax, slow down and enjoy life through our senses -- but we may also feel drawn to collaboration with others. Might there be a way to honor yourself while still adjusting to other peoples wishes?<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday early afternoon: </strong>we feel a need for even-handed collaboration... and for focusing on our long-term accomplishments and standing in society. As best as you can, find a creative way through this!<em> </em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late afternoon: </strong>we may need to balance wanting harmony with others, against wanting to be direct and to share ourselves without apologies.<span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><em><strong> </strong></em></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (April 28th):</strong> t<em>he Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> ( See Thursday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday late morning,</strong><em> </em>we may need to make some adjustments and find creative ways to work with the energies at play: On the one hand, we need to collaborate with others and play nice, on the other hand, we feel a deep desire to be authentic and truthful about what we want to build long-term.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday early afternoon: </strong>On the one hand, we need harmony and peace in interactions with others; on the other, we feel the need to give our long-term goals 100%. We may need to make some adjustments between these two needs that are seemingly at odds.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday night/</strong>Sunday very early morning<strong> at 1:32am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for almost 2 hours, <strong>until 3:11am EDT</strong> (Sunday early morning). Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday very early morning ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (April 29th)</strong><strong> at 3:11am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Tuesday late morning</strong>. We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s thus an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your very best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the Full Moon (exact later this evening)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning,</strong> <em>a harmonious Sun/Saturn alignment</em> becomes exact at 6:04am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday night (April 25th) on; it will be strong until next week, Wednesday (May 2nd). </strong>Commitment and discipline are the keys to understanding our heart\'s desire right now. We face life on life\'s terms and feel up to doing so (especially when it comes to our creative self-expression).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What could I achieve if I bought 5% more joy to my long-term plans?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nParadoxically, we can also bring a more mature approach to exploring our \"inner child\" energy. How might a supportive \"inner parent\" help your \"inner child\" feel safe to play?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>6-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? Or your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)? If either of those is true, you can expect to be more blessed by this aspect :-)</i>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned earlier, the entrance of the <i>Moon into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b> started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon;</i> this will be exact today <b>(Sunday</b><b>, April 29th) at 8:58pm EDT  </b><i>in 9.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>.\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon shows us what we must release if we are to manifest anything that began soon after the last New Moon (i.e. after April 15th).\r\n\r\nFor the next two weeks, we seek the balance and integration of two polarities -- and are more aware<b> </b>of something that needs to be brought into alignment. The balance in question is between our physical attachments/connections -- symbolized by <b>Taurus</b> -- and our emotional attachments/connections (<b>Scorpio</b>).\r\n\r\nThe time of any Full Moon is always more extroverted and emotional; this particular one invites us to let go of fears, and thereby break through to the next level of our evolution.\r\n\r\nSo, here\'s this Full Moon\'s central question: What do we really want? As a society, as people, as individuals... To learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, please click here to watch my video\r\n\r\nAll right, let\'s look at the signs involved in this polarity, beginning with <b>Taurus:</b>\r\n\r\nTaurus seeks comfort and material stability. It\'s concerned with our relationship to the planet, and with the physical plane in general -- and with a hugely important part of our relationship with ourselves, namely \"self-esteem\".\r\n\r\nOf course, <b>Taurus</b> also has a shadow side: attachment to material things, especially when using them to make up for low self-esteem, seeking to feel better about ourselves through indulging in physical pleasures -- and immovability -- wanting to keep things the same, usually so we don\'t experience physical discomfort.\r\n\r\n<b>Scorpio</b>, on the other hand, craves transformation — and it seeks this in part by putting us in touch with our deepest desires and worst fears, bringing it into conscious awareness, so that we can see and release what no longer serves, or has become stale or toxic. Put another way: it helps us move from a \"survival mentality\" to a passionate engagement with life.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> Where in my life do I observe a \"survival mentality\"? In what ways have I protected myself from feelings of hurt or disempowerment?\r\n\r\nIt’s essential to bring conscious awareness to the walls we have built to feel protected and more “empowered”. Addressing past traumas and any sense of disempowerment is the only way to allow for the return of trust toward others (and life in general). By acknowledging our fears and breaking down those walls, we can transform into truly powerful beings of love and inner strength.\r\n\r\nWhat is <b>Scorpio\'s</b> shadow? Attachment to emotional connections (even if they are toxic) , avoidance of emotional pain, armoring and protecting ourselves from incidents of disempowerment that no longer exist outside of memory, trust issues, black-and-white thinking, addiction to drama and darkness (or substances)... and anything we want to prevent. Scorpio\'s shadow sees us coming from an instinctual, self-protective place, rather than from intuitive, love-based spaciousness.\r\n\r\n<b>Scorpio</b> wants to go beyond the surface, to our deeper motivations. For the next two weeks, <b>ask yourself:</b> Where do my intentions and efforts seem to get undermined? What propels my sense of attraction or repulsion? What turns me on about life? What scares me?\r\n\r\nSome <b>more questions:</b> What is coming to the surface? Could I simply allow it to? Could I temporarily suspend the need to judge it, \"understand\" it, get rid of it?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon Nodes in </i><b><i>Aquarius/Leo</i></b><i> are in a close Square to the Full Moon</i>. This creates a fixed  Grand Cross and therefore some tension -- it usually indicates a need for releasing old karmic patterns, on a collective and individual level.\r\n\r\nIf you find yourself becoming reactive within the next two weeks, <b>ask yourself:</b> Are these triggers in my relationships \"old\" or familiar? If I were completely honest with myself right now, might I find I was blowing things out of proportion a little bit? What if I took things 5% less personally, just as a brief experiment? Could I acknowledge how I feel that particular situation/feeling is part of my identity -- how it feels like it is about me or who I am? And just for right now, and just as best as I can, could I let go of that sense that \"it\'s personal\"?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon and Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> make a trine to Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>. This is a favorable aspect that supports our ability to release and heal old traumas while connecting us to our feminine energies in a supportive way; we see from new perspectives and are more able to deal with the darker side of things, through humor and a renewed approach.\r\n\r\nAllowing our fears to surface and bringing compassion and kindness to our feeling-body is a little easier for the next two weeks. <b>Ask yourself:</b> Just for today (or even just for right now), could I let go of \"survival mode\"? If I lowered my protective barriers by 5% and started to trust 5% more, what might shift in regards to intimacy with others? With myself? With life itself?\r\n\r\nHere is another exercise that you can try (I\'ve mentioned this in a previous video, but I think it\'s worth exploring again):\r\n\r\nImagine yourself in survival mode: What imagery comes to mind? Get quiet, and allow yourself to visualize your inner predator/protector. What does it look like? Could you have compassion and understanding towards that inner predator/protector?\r\n\r\nNow imagine yourself being passionately engaged with life, powerfully connected to your heart and your loving strength: What imagery comes to mind now? What does your Higher Self look like? Could you choose to embrace that divine nature fully, in this now moment?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars,</i> the traditional ruler of Scorpio,<i> </i><i>is currently in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> and aligns with Pluto </i>(the modern ruler of <b>Scorpio</b>).\r\n\r\nWe are therefore asked to look at our lives and our long-term plans. We seek empowerment from within, rather than the exertion of \"power\" over others. We are invited to act from \"the power of love\" vs. \"the love of power\" -- and remember that healthy \"self-love\" is also a form of… love! :)\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> How emotionally authentic am I being in my actions? Do I feel passionate about what I am building long-term? Am I consistently empowering <i>myself and</i> others? How am I doing at letting go of behaviors and impulses that arise from past trauma or a sense of threat?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars</i> supports us in taking actions that transform what no longer serves, and in building healthy foundations for those long-term goals. <b>Ask yourself: </b>What feels most satisfying to me personally? What are my priorities? What is my bottom line? What is the simplest next action that leads to manifesting all of that long-term? Are my actions motivated by <b>love</b> (wanting to thrive, to live full-out) or <b>fear</b> (wanting merely to protect myself and merely survive)?\r\n\r\n<i>Chiron moved into </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> just recently, and therefore the position of <i>Mars</i> is also connected to the \"Wounded Healer\".\r\n\r\nOne of my hopes for the membership site was that it would free me up to make more special content for my members, and I\'m delighted to say that this is already happening. I just completed a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/chiron-in-aries-until-2027/\">special article on \"Chiron in Aries\"</a> that is only available to site Members, so please do check that out, if you haven\'t seen it yet ;-)\r\n\r\nOf course, my <i>Star</i> and <i>SuperStar Members</i> will also be automatically be invited to join the next Forecasting Forum, which will delve into Chiron\'s move into Aries in detail, looking at how it impacts our birth charts -- these membership levels can take part in the live webinar, and they also receive an emailed recording of the event (eligible members, please look out for those emails in your inbox -- you may want to flag them if they\'re going into your junk mail).\r\n\r\nIf you are a <i>Universal Member</i>, you can join us by registering <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">right here</a>... or you can also upgrade to <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\"><i>Star Membership</i></a> and join us for FREE, every month :-)\r\n\r\nAgain, we apply what happens every month to our own birth charts; in addition to Chiron’s journey through <strong>Aries</strong> until 2027, we\'ll also be looking at Uranus\'s upcoming journey through <strong>Taurus</strong>. Both of these transits promise major shifts ahead!\r\n\r\nThere\'s something else I\'d like to mention in connection with this Full Moon: <i>Saturn forms a Trine to the Sun in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> and a Sextile to the Moon in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>.</i><i> </i>\r\n\r\nThis makes it easier for us to recognize what we value most, and how to manifest it long-term in the real world -- partly by helping us stay focused on our priorities -- it is, in fact, a very favorable combination for manifesting things.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>Could focusing on my long-term goals actually help me balance physical and material priorities with any deeply emotional partnerships I may have with others? What if I brought a sense of responsibility to the table? What would being present right now do for my long-term goals?\r\n\r\nLastly, let\'s talk about <i>Venus,</i> the ruler of Taurus; she<i> </i><i>is currently in </i><b><i>Gemini.</i></b>\r\n\r\nThis has us seeking out mental stimulation: sharing, teaching, learning, writing, reading, etc…. We want to connect, learn, and share as much as possible... Note that Gemini is also connected to the media.\r\n\r\n<i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> squares Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> and makes a somewhat challenging aspect to the Mars/Pluto alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i><i> </i>\r\n\r\n<i>Venus squares Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>: </i><i>This </i>brings up the challenge of connecting the unconditional heart with the rational mind —  and challenges around introversion vs. extroversion, slow vs. fast, intuition vs. \"learning\". Not only that, with this combo, we may not always know if something is \"fact or fiction\".\r\n\r\nWe are being asked to stretch ourselves in order to resolve a tension between what our mind tells us we want, versus our need to tap into our intuitive sensing and feel our way through something. As best as you can, do not believe everything you hear -- whether externally (from others) or internally (from your own conditioned mind ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What might I hear if I listened to intuition before I share something? What if I listened to intuition while reading or watching something? What thoughts would I then share? What if I were 5% more appreciative and kind with myself and others -- especially when thoughts are being shared or processed?\r\n\r\n<b>Bonus questions:</b> What if learning was not a straight line? What if it was circular? Or like a  never-ending spiral?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus makes a somewhat challenging aspect to the Mars/Pluto alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn: </i></b><i>This</i> creates a tension and a challenge: we are called to make an effort, work hard, and learn. <b>Ask yourself: </b>Where do my words need more integrity? Might mental flexibility actually support my determination? If I made 5% more effort to choose the best words, what would that mean for my relationships? Is there anything I might not be fully allowing myself to acknowledge? What would I prefer stayed hidden to myself?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum  it all up:</b> This Full Moon reminds us that life and death are entwined, that every new beginning is an ending for something else, and vice versa. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What fears and traumas need to be investigated and made conscious, so I can be more in touch with my own worthiness, and better see my own value? What behaviors and habits need to come to an end and make way for me to create more abundance?\r\n\r\nLong-standing patterns demand to be addressed right now! The good news is that we have the persistence to do just that, and thereby step into a more fully empowered self-experience... As best as you can, therefore, release what you have outgrown, and focus where you <i>actually</i> have influence, rather than forcing things and struggling to change what you have no control over.\r\n\r\nSome <b>final questions</b>: What if there was a completely new approach to achieving “powerful leadership” in the world? What would such leadership bring about? What would long-term commitments based on trust, love and a genuine desire for a deeper, more authentic connection bring to life?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 7-12 degrees of</i><b><i> Taurus,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s Full Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>A head’s up for next Monday (April 30th):</strong> t<em>he Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </em><strong><em>Scorpio</em> all day</strong> (see Sunday early morning for details).

This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\".

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\nAlso<strong> on Thursday</strong>, <em>Mercury\'s shadow phase ends</em>.<em> </em>As you may recall, on April 15th, when Mercury stationed direct, I mentioned Mercury shadow phases as well: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it\'s best to avoid the periods shortly before Mercury goes retrograde and after Mercury goes direct.

In addition, there will be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: Monday late evening (for almost 12.5 hours), Thursday late evening (almost 1.5 hours) and Sunday late morning (1 hour).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (April 30th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </em><strong>Scorpio</strong> <b>until<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> Tuesday late morning. </span></b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 10:56pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for almost...\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\r\n<strong> GET IT ALL!

We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late evening,</strong> <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 10:24pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Tuesday early morning on, it will be strong until Wednesday evening. </strong>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward, and need to make a choice; we must develop inner awareness to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\nIt can be hard to see what we are actually responsible for in relationships, so we sometimes take on unnecessary responsibilities, to ensure the relationships continue. We may ask ourselves: \"Do people like me for myself, or for what I do for them?\" If you\'re confused on this point (or any point), as best as you can, keep choosing the \"better\" alternative and make adjustments as necessary.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>8-10 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 2nd):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking <strong>Sagittarius</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday early morning, </strong>we are asked to balance our need to venture beyond our day-to-day mind with our desire for mentally stimulating encounters.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late morning, </strong>we experience a need for inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice.\r\n\r\nMaking this choice demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to mentally explore and go beyond what we already know — and on the other hand, the need to keep it real and connected to the physical plane.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday evening,</strong><em> </em>we may need to make some adjustments again. As best you can, honor both your need for adventure and exploration of life <i>and</i> your need to go within.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nYou may also feel a pull between introvert and extrovert, or simply fast and slow. Tune in for a moment and see if you need to take a break or at least slow down a little. As best as you can, be compassionate and kind to yourself.<span style=\"color: #993300;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (May 3rd):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking <strong>Sagittarius</strong></em> <strong>until 10:06pm EDT</strong> (see Tuesday late morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 8:50pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for almost 1.5 hours, <strong>until 10:06pm EDT. </strong>Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self — explore, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\nAlso<strong> on Thursday</strong>, <em>Mercury\'s shadow phase ends</em>.<em> </em>As you may recall, on April 15th, when Mercury stationed direct, I mentioned Mercury shadow phases as well: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it\'s best to avoid the periods shortly before Mercury goes retrograde and after Mercury goes direct.

We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late evening,</strong> <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 10:24pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Tuesday early morning on, it will be strong until Wednesday evening. </strong>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward, and need to make a choice; we must develop inner awareness to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\nIt can be hard to see what we are actually responsible for in relationships, so we sometimes take on unnecessary responsibilities, to ensure the relationships continue. We may ask ourselves: \"Do people like me for myself, or for what I do for them?\" If you\'re confused on this point (or any point), as best as you can, keep choosing the \"better\" alternative and make adjustments as necessary.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>8-10 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 2nd):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking <strong>Sagittarius</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday early morning, </strong>we are asked to balance our need to venture beyond our day-to-day mind with our desire for mentally stimulating encounters.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late morning, </strong>we experience a need for inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice.\r\n\r\nMaking this choice demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to mentally explore and go beyond what we already know — and on the other hand, the need to keep it real and connected to the physical plane.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday evening,</strong><em> </em>we may need to make some adjustments again. As best you can, honor both your need for adventure and exploration of life <i>and</i> your need to go within.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nYou may also feel a pull between introvert and extrovert, or simply fast and slow. Tune in for a moment and see if you need to take a break or at least slow down a little. As best as you can, be compassionate and kind to yourself.<span style=\"color: #993300;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (May 3rd):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking <strong>Sagittarius</strong></em> <strong>until 10:06pm EDT</strong> (see Tuesday late morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 8:50pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for almost 1.5 hours, <strong>until 10:06pm EDT. </strong>Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self — explore, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday late evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 10:06pm</strong> <strong>EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters practical, accomplishment-oriented <strong>Capricorn,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday late morning. </strong>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\nAlso<strong> on Thursday</strong>, <em>Mercury\'s shadow phase ends</em>.<em> </em>As you may recall, on April 15th, when Mercury stationed direct, I mentioned Mercury shadow phases as well: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it\'s best to avoid the periods shortly before Mercury goes retrograde and after Mercury goes direct. This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.)\r\n\r\nThe good news is, this shadow phase ends<b> </b>today (<strong>Thursday late afternoon, around 4:40pm EDT</strong>) when Mercury reaches 16º54\' of <b>Aries</b>; this means that we can finally go ahead and book those plane tickets -- or buy that new car or iPhone (or anything else communication- or transportation-related). We can also more easily take in new information, so teaching, sharing and learning will be more effective. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">Click here to read my blog on the subject</a>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (May 4th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </em><strong>Capricorn</strong><strong> all day (</strong>see Thursday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late afternoon,</strong><em><strong> </strong></em>we experience a sense of maturity, and we have a need for making commitments towards ourselves and our long-term goals. For long-term success, focus on projects that require a realistic approach or a solid commitment.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late evening, </strong>we are in invited to make some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice.\r\n\r\nMaking this choice demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to connect and share ourselves with others — and on the other, the need to accomplish something out there in the real world, and to be responsible and self-reliant.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (May 5th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </em><strong>Capricorn</strong><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday morning</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Mercury/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 7:05am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday morning on, it will remain strong until Sunday morning. </strong>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed if we’re to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\nThis aspect is a fork in the road: Do we go after our personal goals? Or investigate on a deeper level what\'s been holding us back? Awareness is key with this aspect: What demands to be done? What would a broader view show us? How might we use what we then see?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <em>18-20 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\nAlso<strong> on Saturday,</strong> <i>Pluto resumes its normal pace through the sky, ending its station</i><i>. </i>What has come up in the last three-four weeks around long-term goals? How empowered or disempowered do you feel about them? Now is a good time to do some internal work in this area...\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 6th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </em><strong>Capricorn</strong> <strong>until 10:48am EDT</strong> (see Thursday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 9:48am EDT</strong>, we enter a brief <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC),</a> that last for an hour, <strong>until 10:48am EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to make adjustments and (as best as you can) find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations: On the one hand, a need for serious, diligent accomplishment -- and on the other, a desire to break free and rebel against obligations.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC,</a> as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday late morning ahead of time. <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon squares Uranus in Aries).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late morning</strong>, <em>an opportune Sun/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 9:56am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday morning on, it will remain strong until Tuesday morning. </strong>This aspect is an opportunity both to dissolve what no longer serves us and to connect to our intuition. We definitely feel inspired. It’s also a great time to allow a sense of flow and faith in our financial standings.\r\n\r\nOur capacity for compassion (both toward ourselves and others) is quite strong, especially if we are able to acknowledge it. Dreams and reality find a way to work together now -- any spiritual or creative endeavors that are started during this time will most likely do very well -- and it feels great to donate time or money to favored causes.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nRemember that this is an \"opportunity\" -- it isn\'t just handed to us, we have to make it happen.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>14-18 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 10:48am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters freedom-loving, forward-thinking <strong>Aquarius,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until next week, Tuesday late evening (May 8th). </strong>The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount. This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Monday late evening -- May 7th).\r\n\r\n<strong>A heads-up for next Monday (May 7th):</strong> t<em>he Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking <strong>Aquarius</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Sunday late morning for details). <strong>Monday early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/ Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:52am EDT; and <strong>in the late afternoon</strong>, <em>a challenging Venus/ Neptune</em> aspect becomes exact at 5:58pm EDT.

You may also want to plan Thursday late evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 10:06pm</strong> <strong>EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters practical, accomplishment-oriented <strong>Capricorn,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday late morning. </strong>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\nAlso<strong> on Thursday</strong>, <em>Mercury\'s shadow phase ends</em>.<em> </em>As you may recall, on April 15th, when Mercury stationed direct, I mentioned Mercury shadow phases as well: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it\'s best to avoid the periods shortly before Mercury goes retrograde and after Mercury goes direct. This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.)\r\n\r\nThe good news is, this shadow phase ends<b> </b>today (<strong>Thursday late afternoon, around 4:40pm EDT</strong>) when Mercury reaches 16º54\' of <b>Aries</b>; this means that we can finally go ahead and book those plane tickets -- or buy that new car or iPhone (or anything else communication- or transportation-related). We can also more easily take in new information, so teaching, sharing and learning will be more effective. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">Click here to read my blog on the subject</a>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (May 4th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </em><strong>Capricorn</strong><strong> all day (</strong>see Thursday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late afternoon,</strong><em><strong> </strong></em>we experience a sense of maturity, and we have a need for making commitments towards ourselves and our long-term goals. For long-term success, focus on projects that require a realistic approach or a solid commitment.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late evening, </strong>we are in invited to make some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice.\r\n\r\nMaking this choice demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to connect and share ourselves with others — and on the other, the need to accomplish something out there in the real world, and to be responsible and self-reliant.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (May 5th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </em><strong>Capricorn</strong><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday morning</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Mercury/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 7:05am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday morning on, it will remain strong until Sunday morning. </strong>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed if we’re to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\nThis aspect is a fork in the road: Do we go after our personal goals? Or investigate on a deeper level what\'s been holding us back? Awareness is key with this aspect: What demands to be done? What would a broader view show us? How might we use what we then see?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <em>18-20 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\nAlso<strong> on Saturday,</strong> <i>Pluto resumes its normal pace through the sky, ending its station</i><i>. </i>What has come up in the last three-four weeks around long-term goals? How empowered or disempowered do you feel about them? Now is a good time to do some internal work in this area...\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 6th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </em><strong>Capricorn</strong> <strong>until 10:48am EDT</strong> (see Thursday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 9:48am EDT</strong>, we enter a brief <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC),</a> that last for an hour, <strong>until 10:48am EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to make adjustments and (as best as you can) find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations: On the one hand, a need for serious, diligent accomplishment -- and on the other, a desire to break free and rebel against obligations.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC,</a> as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday late morning ahead of time. <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon squares Uranus in Aries).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late morning</strong>, <em>an opportune Sun/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 9:56am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday morning on, it will remain strong until Tuesday morning. </strong>This aspect is an opportunity both to dissolve what no longer serves us and to connect to our intuition. We definitely feel inspired. It’s also a great time to allow a sense of flow and faith in our financial standings.\r\n\r\nOur capacity for compassion (both toward ourselves and others) is quite strong, especially if we are able to acknowledge it. Dreams and reality find a way to work together now -- any spiritual or creative endeavors that are started during this time will most likely do very well -- and it feels great to donate time or money to favored causes.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nRemember that this is an \"opportunity\" -- it isn\'t just handed to us, we have to make it happen.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>14-18 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 10:48am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters freedom-loving, forward-thinking <strong>Aquarius,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until next week, Tuesday late evening (May 8th). </strong>The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount. This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Monday late evening -- May 7th).\r\n\r\n<strong>A heads-up for next Monday (May 7th):</strong> t<em>he Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking <strong>Aquarius</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Sunday late morning for details). <strong>Monday early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/ Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:52am EDT; and <strong>in the late afternoon</strong>, <em>a challenging Venus/ Neptune</em> aspect becomes exact at 5:58pm EDT. Also,<strong> Monday at 10:09pm EDT</strong>, <em>the last Quarter Moon in</em> <em>17.5 degrees of <strong>Aquarius</strong></em> becomes exact. <strong>More about the details in next week\'s forecast.</strong>\r\n<h3>One Final Announcement:</h3>\r\nVery last chance to join me for my FORECASTING FORUM, this <b>Monday</b>, <b>April 30th, 2018 at </b>12pm<b> </b>PDT/<b> 3pm EDT</b>/8pm BST (London-time).<b> Please note </b>that we will be talking about Chiron in Aries and Uranus in Taurus.

Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free.

Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free.

Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you.

We may ask ourselves: \"Do people like me for myself, or for what I do for them?\" If you\'re confused on this point (or any point), as best as you can, keep choosing the \"better\" alternative and make adjustments as necessary.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>8-10 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>?

Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 10:56pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for almost...\r\n\r\n***<b>GET IT ALL!

We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late evening,</strong> <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 10:24pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Tuesday early morning on, it will be strong until Wednesday evening. </strong>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward, and need to make a choice; we must develop inner awareness to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\nIt can be hard to see what we are actually responsible for in relationships, so we sometimes take on unnecessary responsibilities, to ensure the relationships continue. We may ask ourselves: \"Do people like me for myself, or for what I do for them?\" If you\'re confused on this point (or any point), as best as you can, keep choosing the \"better\" alternative and make adjustments as necessary.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>8-10 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 2nd):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking <strong>Sagittarius</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday early morning, </strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">we are being asked to find a balance between our need to venture beyond our day-to-day mind, and our desire for being stimulated via mental interactions with others.</span><em><strong> </strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">(Moon in <strong>Sagittarius</strong> opposes Venus in <strong>Gemini</strong></span></em><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong> at 5:21am EDT -- post at 4am EDT)</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late morning, </strong>we experience a need for inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice.\r\n\r\nMaking this choice demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to mentally explore and go beyond what we already know — and on the other hand, the need to keep it real and connected to the physical plane. <span style=\"color: #993300;\"><em>(Moon in <strong>Sagittarius</strong> quincunxes the Sun in <strong>Taurus</strong></em><strong> at 10:49am EDT -- post at 9am EDT)</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday evening,</strong><em> </em>we may need to make some adjustments again. As best you can, honor both your need for adventure and exploration of life <i>and</i> your need to go within.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nYou may also feel a pull between introvert and extrovert, or simply fast and slow. Tune in for a moment and see if you need to take a break or at least slow down a little.

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\nAlso<strong> on Thursday</strong>, <em>Mercury\'s shadow phase ends</em>.<em> </em>As you may recall, on April 15th, when Mercury stationed direct, I mentioned Mercury shadow phases as well: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it\'s best to avoid the periods shortly before Mercury goes retrograde and after Mercury goes direct. This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.)\r\n\r\nThe good news is, this shadow phase ends<b> </b>today (<strong>Thursday late afternoon, around 4:40pm EDT</strong>), when Mercury reaches 16º54\' of <b>Aries.</b> This means that we can finally go ahead and book those plane tickets -- or buy that new car or iPhone (or anything else communication- or transportation-related). We can also more easily take in new information, so teaching, sharing and learning will be more effective. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">Click here to read my blog on the subject</a>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (May 4th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </em><strong>Capricorn</strong><strong> all day (</strong>see Thursday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late afternoon,</strong><em><strong> </strong></em>we experience a sense of maturity, and we have a need for making commitments towards ourselves and our long-term goals.

In addition, there will be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: Monday late evening (for almost 12.5 hours), Thursday late evening (almost 1.5 hours) and Sunday late morning (1 hour).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (April 30th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </em><strong>Scorpio</strong> <b>until<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> Tuesday late morning. </span></b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 10:56pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for almost...\r\n\r\n***<b>GET IT ALL!

We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late evening,</strong> <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 10:24pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Tuesday early morning on, it will be strong until Wednesday evening. </strong>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward, and need to make a choice; we must develop inner awareness to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\nIt can be hard to see what we are actually responsible for in relationships, so we sometimes take on unnecessary responsibilities, to ensure the relationships continue. We may ask ourselves: \"Do people like me for myself, or for what I do for them?\" If you\'re confused on this point (or any point), as best as you can, keep choosing the \"better\" alternative and make adjustments as necessary.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>8-10 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 2nd):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking <strong>Sagittarius</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday early morning, </strong>we are asked to balance our need to venture beyond our day-to-day mind with our desire for mentally stimulating encounters. <em><span style=\"color: #993300;\">(Moon in <strong>Sagittarius</strong> opposes Venus in <strong>Gemini</strong></span></em><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong> at 5:21am EDT -- post at 4am EDT)</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late morning, </strong>we experience a need for inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice.\r\n\r\nMaking this choice demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to mentally explore and go beyond what we already know — and on the other hand, the need to keep it real and connected to the physical plane. <span style=\"color: #993300;\"><em>(Moon in <strong>Sagittarius</strong> quincunxes the Sun in <strong>Taurus</strong></em><strong> at 10:49am EDT -- post at 9am EDT)</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday evening,</strong><em> </em>we may need to make some adjustments again. As best you can, honor both your need for adventure and exploration of life <i>and</i> your need to go within.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nYou may also feel a pull between introvert and extrovert, or simply fast and slow. Tune in for a moment and see if you need to take a break or at least slow down a little. As best as you can, be compassionate and kind to yourself.<span style=\"color: #993300;\"> <em>(Moon in <strong>Sagittarius</strong> squares Neptune in <strong>Pieces</strong></em><strong> at 6:10pm EDT -- post at 4:15pm </strong><span style=\"caret-color: #ff0000;\"><b>EDT)</b></span></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (May 3rd):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking <strong>Sagittarius</strong></em> <strong>until 10:06pm EDT</strong> (see Tuesday late morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 8:50pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for almost 1.5 hours, <strong>until 10:06pm EDT. </strong>Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self — explore, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\nAlso<strong> on Thursday</strong>, <em>Mercury\'s shadow phase ends</em>.<em> </em>As you may recall, on April 15th, when Mercury stationed direct, I mentioned Mercury shadow phases as well: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it\'s best to avoid the periods shortly before Mercury goes retrograde and after Mercury goes direct. This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.)\r\n\r\nThe good news is, this shadow phase ends<b> </b>today (<strong>Thursday late afternoon, around 4:40pm EDT</strong>) when Mercury reaches 16º54\' of <b>Aries</b>; this means that we can finally go ahead and book those plane tickets -- or buy that new car or iPhone (or anything else communication- or transportation-related). We can also more easily take in new information, so teaching, sharing and learning will be more effective. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">Click here to read my blog on the subject</a>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (May 4th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </em><strong>Capricorn</strong><strong> all day (</strong>see Thursday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late afternoon,</strong><em><strong> </strong></em>we experience a sense of maturity, and we have a need for making commitments towards ourselves and our long-term goals. For long-term success, focus on projects that require a realistic approach or a solid commitment. <span style=\"color: #993300;\"><em>(Moon in <strong>Capricorn</strong> conjuncts Saturn in <strong>Capricorn</strong></em><strong> at 4:02pm EDT -- post at 2pm EDT)</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late evening, </strong>we are in invited to make some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice.\r\n\r\nMaking this choice demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to connect and share ourselves with others — and on the other, the need to accomplish something out there in the real world, and to be responsible and self-reliant. <span style=\"color: #993300;\"><em>(Moon in <strong>Capricorn</strong> quincunxes Venus in <strong>Gemini</strong></em><strong> at 11:38pm EDT -- post at 9:45pm EDT)</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (May 5th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </em><strong>Capricorn</strong><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday morning</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Mercury/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 7:05am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday morning on, it will remain strong until Sunday morning. </strong>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed if we’re to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\nThis aspect is a fork in the road: Do we go after our personal goals? Or investigate on a deeper level what\'s been holding us back? Awareness is key with this aspect: What demands to be done? What would a broader view show us? How might we use what we then see?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <em>18-20 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\nAlso<strong> on Saturday,</strong> <i>Pluto resumes its normal pace through the sky, ending its station</i><i>. </i>What has come up in the last three-four weeks around long-term goals?

We definitely feel inspired. It’s also a great time to allow a sense of flow and faith in our financial standings.\r\n\r\nOur capacity for compassion (both toward ourselves and others) is quite strong, especially if we are able to acknowledge it. Dreams and reality find a way to work together now -- any spiritual or creative endeavors that are started during this time will most likely do very well -- and it feels great to donate time or money to favored causes.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nRemember that this is an \"opportunity\" -- it isn\'t just handed to us, we have to make it happen.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>14-18 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>?

Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount. This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Monday late evening -- May 7th).\r\n\r\n<strong>A heads-up for next Monday (May 7th):</strong> t<em>he Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking <strong>Aquarius</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Sunday late morning for details). <strong>Monday early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/ Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:52am EDT; and <strong>in the late afternoon</strong>, <em>a challenging Venus/ Neptune</em> aspect becomes exact at 5:58pm EDT.

We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late evening,</strong> <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 10:24pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Tuesday early morning on, it will be strong until Wednesday evening. </strong>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward, and need to make a choice; we must develop inner awareness to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\nIt can be hard to see what we are actually responsible for in relationships, so we sometimes take on unnecessary responsibilities, to ensure the relationships continue. We may ask ourselves: \"Do people like me for myself, or for what I do for them?\" If you\'re confused on this point (or any point), as best as you can, keep choosing the \"better\" alternative and make adjustments as necessary.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>8-10 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 2nd):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking <strong>Sagittarius</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday early morning, </strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">we are being asked to find a balance between our need to venture beyond our day-to-day mind, and our desire for being stimulated via mental interactions with others.</span><em><strong> </strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">(Moon in <strong>Sagittarius</strong> opposes Venus in <strong>Gemini</strong></span></em><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong> at 5:21am EDT -- post at 4am EDT)</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late morning, </strong>we experience a need for inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice.\r\n\r\nMaking this choice demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to mentally explore and go beyond what we already know — and on the other hand, the need to keep it real and connected to the physical plane. <span style=\"color: #993300;\"><em>(Moon in <strong>Sagittarius</strong> quincunxes the Sun in <strong>Taurus</strong></em><strong> at 10:49am EDT -- post at 9am EDT)</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday evening,</strong><em> </em>we may need to make some adjustments again. As best you can, honor both your need for adventure and exploration of life <i>and</i> your need to go within.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nYou may also feel a pull between introvert and extrovert, or simply fast and slow. Tune in for a moment and see if you need to take a break or at least slow down a little. As best as you can, be compassionate and kind with yourself.<span style=\"color: #993300;\"> <em>(Moon in <strong>Sagittarius</strong> squares Neptune in <strong>Pieces</strong></em><strong> at 6:10pm EDT -- post at 4:15pm </strong><span style=\"caret-color: #ff0000;\"><b>EDT)</b></span></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (May 3rd):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking <strong>Sagittarius</strong></em> <strong>until 10:06pm EDT</strong> (see Tuesday late morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 8:50pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for almost 1.5 hours, <strong>until 10:06pm EDT. </strong>Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self — explore, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\nAlso<strong> on Thursday</strong>, <em>Mercury\'s shadow phase ends</em>.<em> </em>As you may recall, on April 15th, when Mercury stationed direct, I mentioned Mercury shadow phases as well: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it\'s best to avoid the periods shortly before Mercury goes retrograde and after Mercury goes direct. This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.)\r\n\r\nThe good news is, this shadow phase ends<b> </b>today (<strong>Thursday late afternoon, around 4:40pm EDT</strong>), when Mercury reaches 16º54\' of <b>Aries.</b> This means that we can finally go ahead and book those plane tickets -- or buy that new car or iPhone (or anything else communication- or transportation-related). We can also more easily take in new information, so teaching, sharing and learning will be more effective. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">Click here to read my blog on the subject</a>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (May 4th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </em><strong>Capricorn</strong><strong> all day (</strong>see Thursday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late afternoon,</strong><em><strong> </strong></em>we experience a sense of maturity, and we have a need for making commitments towards ourselves and our long-term goals. For long-term success, focus on projects that require a realistic approach or a solid commitment. <span style=\"color: #993300;\"><em>(Moon in <strong>Capricorn</strong> conjuncts Saturn in <strong>Capricorn</strong></em><strong> at 4:02pm EDT -- post at 2pm EDT)</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late evening, </strong>we are in invited to make some inner adjustments.

We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed if we’re to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\nThis aspect is a fork in the road: Do we go after our personal goals? <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Or investigate on a deeper level to understand what\'s holding us back?

We definitely feel inspired. It’s also a great time to allow a sense of flow and faith in our financial standings.\r\n\r\nOur capacity for compassion (both toward ourselves and others) is quite strong, especially if we are able to acknowledge it. Dreams and reality find a way to work together now -- any spiritual or creative endeavors that are started during this time will most likely do very well -- and it feels great to donate time or money to favored causes.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nRemember that this is an \"opportunity\" -- it isn\'t just handed to us, we have to make it happen.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>14-18 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>?

Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount. This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Monday late evening -- May 7th).\r\n\r\n<strong>A heads up for next Monday (May 7th):</strong> t<em>he Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking <strong>Aquarius</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Sunday late morning for details). <strong>Monday early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/ Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:52am EDT; and <strong>in the late afternoon</strong> <em>a challenging Venus/ Neptune</em> aspect becomes exact at 5:58pm EDT.

We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late evening,</strong> <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 10:24pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Tuesday early morning on, it will be strong until Wednesday evening. </strong>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward, and need to make a choice; we must develop inner awareness to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\nIt can be hard to see what we are actually responsible for in relationships, so we sometimes take on unnecessary responsibilities, to ensure the relationships continue. We may ask ourselves: \"Do people like me for myself, or for what I do for them?\" If you\'re confused on this point (or any point), as best as you can, keep choosing the \"better\" alternative and make adjustments as necessary.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>8-10 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>?

We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice.\r\n\r\nMaking this choice demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to mentally explore and go beyond what we already know — and on the other hand, the need to keep it real and connected to the physical plane. <span style=\"color: #993300;\"><em>(Moon in <strong>Sagittarius</strong> quincunxes the Sun in <strong>Taurus</strong></em><strong> at 10:49am EDT -- post at 9am EDT)</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday evening,</strong><em> </em>we may need to make some adjustments again.

Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\nAlso<strong> on Thursday</strong>, <em>Mercury\'s shadow phase ends</em>.<em> </em>As you may recall, on April 15th, when Mercury stationed direct, I mentioned Mercury shadow phases as well: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it\'s best to avoid the periods shortly before Mercury goes retrograde and after Mercury goes direct. This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.)\r\n\r\nThe good news is, this shadow phase ends<b> </b>today (<strong>Thursday late afternoon, around 4:40pm EDT</strong>), when Mercury reaches 16º54\' of <b>Aries.</b> This means that we can finally go ahead and book those plane tickets -- or buy that new car or iPhone (or anything else communication- or transportation-related). We can also more easily take in new information, so teaching, sharing and learning will be more effective. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">Click here to read my blog on the subject</a>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (May 4th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </em><strong>Capricorn</strong><strong> all day (</strong>see Thursday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late afternoon,</strong><em><strong> </strong></em>we experience a sense of maturity, and we have a need for making commitments towards ourselves and our long-term goals.

Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\n\nThe Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\n\nMoon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\n\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\n\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\n\n<strong>Monday at 10:56pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for almost...\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\n<strong> GET IT ALL!

We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\n\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\n\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\n\n<strong>Tuesday late evening,</strong> <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 10:24pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Tuesday early morning on, it will be strong until Wednesday evening. </strong>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward, and need to make a choice; we must develop inner awareness to see what needs adjusting.\n\nIt can be hard to see what we are actually responsible for in relationships, so we sometimes take on unnecessary responsibilities, to ensure the relationships continue. We may ask ourselves: \"Do people like me for myself, or for what I do for them?\" If you\'re confused on this point (or any point), as best as you can, keep choosing the \"better\" alternative and make adjustments as necessary.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>8-10 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)</i>\n\n<strong>Wednesday (May 2nd):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking <strong>Sagittarius</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late morning for details).\n\n<strong>Wednesday early morning, </strong>we are asked to balance our need to venture beyond our day-to-day mind with our desire for mentally stimulating encounters.\n\n<strong>Wednesday late morning, </strong>we experience a need for inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice.\n\nMaking this choice demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to mentally explore and go beyond what we already know — and on the other hand, the need to keep it real and connected to the physical plane.\n\n<strong>Wednesday evening,</strong><em> </em>we may need to make some adjustments again. As best you can, honor both your need for adventure and exploration of life <i>and</i> your need to go within.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\n\nYou may also feel a pull between introvert and extrovert, or simply fast and slow. Tune in for a moment and see if you need to take a break or at least slow down a little. As best as you can, be compassionate and kind to yourself.<span style=\"color: #993300;\"> </span>\n\n<strong>Thursday (May 3rd):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking <strong>Sagittarius</strong></em> <strong>until 10:06pm EDT</strong> (see Tuesday late morning for details).\n\n<strong>Thursday at 8:50pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for almost 1.5 hours, <strong>until 10:06pm EDT. </strong>Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self — explore, take a risk.\n\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday late evening ahead of time.\n\n<strong>Thursday at 10:06pm</strong> <strong>EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters practical, accomplishment-oriented <strong>Capricorn,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday late morning. </strong>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\n\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\n\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\n\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\n\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\n\nAlso<strong> on Thursday</strong>, <em>Mercury\'s shadow phase ends</em>.<em> </em>As you may recall, on April 15th, when Mercury stationed direct, I mentioned Mercury shadow phases as well: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it\'s best to avoid the periods shortly before Mercury goes retrograde and after Mercury goes direct. This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.)\n\nThe good news is, this shadow phase ends<b> </b>today (<strong>Thursday late afternoon, around 4:40pm EDT</strong>) when Mercury reaches 16º54\' of <b>Aries</b>; this means that we can finally go ahead and book those plane tickets -- or buy that new car or iPhone (or anything else communication- or transportation-related). We can also more easily take in new information, so teaching, sharing and learning will be more effective. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">Click here to read my blog on the subject</a>.\n\n<strong>Friday (May 4th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </em><strong>Capricorn</strong><strong> all day (</strong>see Thursday late evening for details).\n\n<strong>Friday late afternoon,</strong><em><strong> </strong></em>we experience a sense of maturity, and we have a need for making commitments towards ourselves and our long-term goals. For long-term success, focus on projects that require a realistic approach or a solid commitment.\n\n<strong>Friday late evening, </strong>we are in invited to make some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice.\n\nMaking this choice demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to connect and share ourselves with others — and on the other, the need to accomplish something out there in the real world, and to be responsible and self-reliant.\n\n<strong>Saturday (May 5th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </em><strong>Capricorn</strong><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday late evening for details).\n\n<strong>Saturday morning</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Mercury/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 7:05am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday morning on, it will remain strong until Sunday morning. </strong>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed if we’re to see what needs adjusting.\n\nThis aspect is a fork in the road: Do we go after our personal goals? Or investigate on a deeper level what\'s been holding us back? Awareness is key with this aspect: What demands to be done? What would a broader view show us? How might we use what we then see?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <em>18-20 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter of Sagittarius).</i>\n\nAlso<strong> on Saturday,</strong> <i>Pluto resumes its normal pace through the sky, ending its station</i><i>. </i>What has come up in the last three-four weeks around long-term goals? How empowered or disempowered do you feel about them? Now is a good time to do some internal work in this area...\n\n<strong>Sunday (May 6th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </em><strong>Capricorn</strong> <strong>until 10:48am EDT</strong> (see Thursday late evening for details).\n\n<strong>Sunday at 9:48am EDT</strong>, we enter a brief <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC),</a> that last for an hour, <strong>until 10:48am EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to make adjustments and (as best as you can) find creative solutions to seemingly insoluble situations: On the one hand, a need for serious, diligent accomplishment -- and on the other, a desire to break free and rebel against obligations.\n\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC,</a> as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday late morning ahead of time. <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon squares Uranus in Aries).</span>\n\n<strong>Sunday late morning</strong>, <em>an opportune Sun/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 9:56am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday morning on, it will remain strong until Tuesday morning. </strong>This aspect is an opportunity both to dissolve what no longer serves us and to connect to our intuition. We definitely feel inspired. It’s also a great time to allow a sense of flow and faith in our financial standings.\n\nOur capacity for compassion (both toward ourselves and others) is quite strong, especially if we are able to acknowledge it. Dreams and reality find a way to work together now -- any spiritual or creative endeavors that are started during this time will most likely do very well -- and it feels great to donate time or money to favored causes.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\n\nRemember that this is an \"opportunity\" -- it isn\'t just handed to us, we have to make it happen.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>14-18 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Pisces </i></b><i>(the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</i>\n\n<strong>Sunday at 10:48am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters freedom-loving, forward-thinking <strong>Aquarius,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until next week, Tuesday late evening (May 8th). </strong>The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\n\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount. This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Monday late evening -- May 7th).\n\n<strong>A heads-up for next Monday (May 7th):</strong> t<em>he Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking <strong>Aquarius</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Sunday late morning for details). <strong>Monday early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/ Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:52am EDT; and <strong>in the late afternoon</strong>, <em>a challenging Venus/ Neptune</em> aspect becomes exact at 5:58pm EDT. Also,<strong> Monday at 10:09pm EDT</strong>, <em>the last Quarter Moon in</em> <em>17.5 degrees of <strong>Aquarius</strong></em> becomes exact. <strong>More about the details in next week\'s forecast.</strong>\n<h3>One Final Announcement:</h3>\nVery last chance to join me for my FORECASTING FORUM, this <b>Monday</b>, <b>April 30th, 2018 at </b>12pm<b> </b>PDT/<b> 3pm EDT</b>/8pm BST (London-time).<b> Please note </b>that we will be talking about Chiron in Aries and Uranus in Taurus.

This is an opportunity to learn to harness our intense mental energy and apply it productively. We are also capable of very hard work, focus and effort now.\r\n\r\nWe have a great love of debate, but should be careful that we don\'t overpower others with our strong opinions, attempting to \"convert\" them to our frame of mind, or treat regular exchanges of opinion as battlegrounds.

We are being asked to<b> </b>find creative solutions and be completely honest with ourselves and others. The best way to achieve this is by the continual practice of self-care and self-nurturing.\r\n\r\nWe have tremendous focus and drive right now, which can tip into obsession. With this aspect an all-or-nothing attitude is very likely. Choose love over fear whenever possible. Not many people enjoy being second-guessed all the time, yet that is something that we are inclined to do now.\r\n\r\nHowever, our determination to get to the bottom of any matter, to rip away falsehoods and expose true motives, can be used for good if we employ it in our work, for example, in regards to investigations or research. This is an opportunity to learn to harness our intense mental energy and apply it productively. We are also capable of very hard work, focus and effort now.\r\n\r\nWe have a great love of debate, but should be careful that we don\'t overpower others with our strong opinions, attempting to \"convert\" them to our frame of mind, or treat regular exchanges of opinion as battlegrounds. Connect to yourself and others, empowering yourself/them with what you feel passionate about.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nChoose your words/thoughts carefully, from a deeply connected and empowered place rather than from a place of fear, self-protection or a need for survival.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>18-24 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

As best as you can, be compassionate with yourself and others during these 5 days -- it might also help to know that relationships and endeavors of a spiritual or artistic nature can move forward at this time. </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>13-19 degrees</em></i></span><span class=\"s1\"><i> of</i> <b><i>Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

With the last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us to take a look at what needs to be completed. What -- if anything -- needs last-minute adjustments?

It will journey there <b>until Tuesday late evening. </b>The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount. With this Moon placement we can feel already the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Monday late evening).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:52am EDT.<strong> We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday afternoon (May 5th) on, it will remain strong until this Wednesday afternoon (May 9th). </strong>This aspect creates some tension in our lives.

We are being asked to<b> </b>find creative solutions and be completely honest with ourselves and others. The best way to achieve this is by the continual practice of self-care and self-nurturing.\r\n\r\nWe have tremendous focus and drive right now, which can tip into obsession. With this aspect an all-or-nothing attitude is very likely. Choose love over fear whenever possible. Not many people enjoy being second-guessed all the time, yet that is something that we are inclined to do now.\r\n\r\nHowever, our determination to get to the bottom of any matter, to rip away falsehoods and expose true motives, can be used for good if we employ it in our work, for example, in regards to investigations or research. This is an opportunity to learn to harness our intense mental energy and apply it productively. We are also capable of very hard work, focus and effort now.\r\n\r\nWe have a great love of debate, but should be careful that we don\'t overpower others with our strong opinions, attempting to \"convert\" them to our frame of mind, or treat regular exchanges of opinion as battlegrounds. Connect to yourself and others, empowering yourself/them with what you feel passionate about.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nChoose your words/thoughts carefully, from a deeply connected and empowered place rather than from a place of fear, self-protection or a need for survival.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>18-24 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early evening</strong>, <em>a challenging Venus/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:58pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday morning (May 5th) on, it will remain strong until this Thursday morning (May 10th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">We can be confused, unrealistic, or overly idealistic around love and money -- so it\'s best to wait until the transit is over, before making big moves in these areas -- if you make long-term financial investments, buy or sell big-ticket items, or start brand-new relationships, it\'s likely you will not see things as they truly are.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We are actually being asked to have faith; to let our intuition guide us in money and love -- if we are able to do this, we will grow through it. As best as you can, be compassionate with yourself and others during these 5 days -- it might also help to know that relationships and endeavors of a spiritual or artistic nature can move forward at this time. </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>13-19 degrees</em></i></span><span class=\"s1\"><i> of</i> <b><i>Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

The Moon in <strong>Aquarius</strong> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in <strong>Taurus</strong>. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Aquarius last Sunday morning (May 6th). </strong><span class=\"s2\"><i> </i>This may bring challenges; however, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">This Moon phase brings us closer to May 15th\'s New Moon in <b>Taurus</b>. With the last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us to take a look at what needs to be completed. What -- if anything -- needs last-minute adjustments? What did you discover since April 15th? What did it mean for you? What actions could shift the things you seeded or started in mid-late April?</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">As best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).</span></p>\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>15-20 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Aquarius, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this month\'s last Quarter Moon quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (May 8th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking</em> <strong><em>Aquarius</em> until 11:11pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for more details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late evening</strong>, <em>a Sun/Jupiter opposition</em> becomes exact at 8:39pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday morning (May 5th) on, it will remain strong until this Friday evening (May 11th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This aspect can bring an opportunity to open up our consciousness through other people. As best as you can, expand your perspectives about intimate relationships, other people\'s resources and be open to bringing some optimism to those areas of your life. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The urge to grow and expand is strong, but we might overreach -- and hasty actions could backfire. As best as you can, don’t expect too much from others or yourself; avoid over-promising, and create a win-win whenever you can. Use humor :-) </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Projects or ambitions may come to a culmination point, or undergo surprising changes; ask yourself: What insights am I receiving? Where can I go from here? What if I walked in their shoes, just for a moment? Where would I walk to? </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in<em>15-22 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>?

It will journey there <b>until Tuesday late evening. </b>The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount. With this Moon placement we can feel already the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Monday late evening).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:52am EDT.<strong> We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday afternoon (May 5th) on, it will remain strong until this Wednesday afternoon (May 9th). </strong>This aspect creates some tension in our lives. We may feel anxious or stressed by one or more situations or interactions to do with...\r\n\r\n***<b>GET IT ALL!

We are being asked to<b> </b>find creative solutions and be completely honest with ourselves and others. The best way to achieve this is by the continual practice of self-care and self-nurturing.\r\n\r\nWe have tremendous focus and drive right now, which can tip into obsession. With this aspect an all-or-nothing attitude is very likely. Choose love over fear whenever possible. Not many people enjoy being second-guessed all the time, yet that is something that we are inclined to do now.\r\n\r\nHowever, our determination to get to the bottom of any matter, to rip away falsehoods and expose true motives, can be used for good if we employ it in our work, for example, in regards to investigations or research. This is an opportunity to learn to harness our intense mental energy and apply it productively. We are also capable of very hard work, focus and effort now.\r\n\r\nWe have a great love of debate, but should be careful that we don\'t overpower others with our strong opinions, attempting to \"convert\" them to our frame of mind, or treat regular exchanges of opinion as battlegrounds. Connect to yourself and others, empowering yourself/them with what you feel passionate about.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nChoose your words/thoughts carefully, from a deeply connected and empowered place rather than from a place of fear, self-protection or a need for survival.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>18-24 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early evening</strong>, <em>a challenging Venus/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:58pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday morning (May 5th) on, it will remain strong until this Thursday morning (May 10th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">We can be confused, unrealistic, or overly idealistic around love and money -- so it\'s best to wait until the transit is over, before making big moves in these areas -- if you make long-term financial investments, buy or sell big-ticket items, or start brand-new relationships, it\'s likely you will not see things as they truly are.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We are actually being asked to have faith; to let our intuition guide us in money and love -- if we are able to do this, we will grow through it. As best as you can, be compassionate with yourself and others during these 5 days -- it might also help to know that relationships and endeavors of a spiritual or artistic nature can move forward at this time. </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>13-19 degrees</em></i></span><span class=\"s1\"><i> of</i> <b><i>Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

The Moon in <strong>Aquarius</strong> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in <strong>Taurus</strong>. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Aquarius last Sunday morning (May 6th). </strong><span class=\"s2\"><i> </i>This may bring challenges; however, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">This Moon phase brings us closer to May 15th\'s New Moon in <b>Taurus</b>. With the last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us to take a look at what needs to be completed. What -- if anything -- needs last-minute adjustments? What did you discover since April 15th? What did it mean for you? What actions could shift the things you seeded or started in mid-late April?</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">As best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).</span></p>\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>15-20 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Aquarius, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this month\'s last Quarter Moon quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (May 8th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking</em> <strong><em>Aquarius</em> until 11:11pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for more details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late evening</strong>, <em>a Sun/Jupiter opposition</em> becomes exact at 8:39pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday morning (May 5th) on, it will remain strong until this Friday evening (May 11th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This aspect can bring an opportunity to open up our consciousness through other people. As best as you can, expand your perspectives about intimate relationships, other people\'s resources and be open to bringing some optimism to those areas of your life. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The urge to grow and expand is strong, but we might overreach -- and hasty actions could backfire. As best as you can, don’t expect too much from others or yourself; avoid over-promising, and create a win-win whenever you can. Use humor :-) </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Projects or ambitions may come to a culmination point, or undergo surprising changes; ask yourself: What insights am I receiving? Where can I go from here? What if I walked in their shoes, just for a moment? Where would I walk to? </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in<em>15-22 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>?

You may also want to plan Tuesday late evening ahead of time. <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon sextiles Uranus in Aries)</span>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 11:11pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters creative, sensitive <strong>Pisces</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Friday morning. </strong><span class=\"s1\">This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">But... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.</span></p>\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 9th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive</em><strong><em> Pisces</em> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:36pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning (May 8th) on, it will remain strong until Thursday morning (May 10th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed in order to see what needs adjusting.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This aspect is a fork in the road: <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">We could take a path that leads toward learning about inner dialog and sharing ourselves with others by being open and curious.</span> We could also take the path that will lead to us increasing our understanding of intimacy and shared our resources with others. Either way, we can develop a new perspective on how to approach these things. Awareness is key with this aspect: What is needed? How can we serve the broader view?</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>17-19 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>?

We have the ability to look at everything in a very down-to-earth manner right now; through our understanding of \"what is and what is not\", we can make more powerful choices. </span><span class=\"s1\"> </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We can also deepen our understanding of our own motivations and look closely at where we are heading. This aspect also brings an intensity and a depth to our conscious awareness; therefore this is also a great time to transform our lives, stripping away anything -- even people -- that no longer connect with who we are. </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Ask yourself: How can I live more authentically? Is there anything holding me back? What fears and attachments could I release now, that no longer serve my evolution? Am I willing to let them go, just for now, and just as best as I can?</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>18-24 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn</i></b><i> or <b>Virgo</b></i><i>?

It will journey there <b>until Tuesday late evening. </b>The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.

We are being asked to<b> </b>find creative solutions and be completely honest with ourselves and others. The best way to achieve this is by the continual practice of self-care and self-nurturing.\r\n\r\nWe have tremendous focus and drive right now, which can tip into obsession. With this aspect an all-or-nothing attitude is very likely. Choose love over fear whenever possible. Not many people enjoy being second-guessed all the time, yet that is something that we are inclined to do now.\r\n\r\nHowever, our determination to get to the bottom of any matter, to rip away falsehoods and expose true motives, can be used for good if we employ it in our work, for example, in regards to investigations or research. This is an opportunity to learn to harness our intense mental energy and apply it productively. We are also capable of very hard work, focus and effort now.\r\n\r\nWe have a great love of debate, but should be careful that we don\'t overpower others with our strong opinions, attempting to \"convert\" them to our frame of mind, or treat regular exchanges of opinion as battlegrounds. Connect to yourself and others, empowering yourself/them with what you feel passionate about.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nChoose your words/thoughts carefully, from a deeply connected and empowered place rather than from a place of fear, self-protection or a need for survival.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>18-24 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

As best as you can, be compassionate with yourself and others during these 5 days -- it might also help to know that relationships and endeavors of a spiritual or artistic nature can move forward at this time. </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>13-19 degrees</em></i></span><span class=\"s1\"><i> of</i> <b><i>Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

With the last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us to take a look at what needs to be completed. What -- if anything -- needs last-minute adjustments? What did you discover since April 15th? What did it mean for you? What actions could shift the things you seeded or started in mid-late April?</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">As best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).</span></p>\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>15-20 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Aquarius, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>?

As best as you can, expand your perspectives about intimate relationships, other people\'s resources and be open to bringing some optimism to those areas of your life. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The urge to grow and expand is strong, but we might overreach -- and hasty actions could backfire. As best as you can, don’t expect too much from others or yourself; avoid over-promising, and create a win-win whenever you can. Use humor :-) </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Projects or ambitions may come to a culmination point, or undergo surprising changes; ask yourself: What insights am I receiving? Where can I go from here? What if I walked in their shoes, just for a moment? Where would I walk to? </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in<em>15-22 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>?

We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">But... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.</span></p>\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 9th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive</em><strong><em> Pisces</em> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:36pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning (May 8th) on, it will remain strong until Thursday morning (May 10th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed in order to see what needs adjusting.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This aspect is a fork in the road: <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">We could take a path that leads toward learning about inner dialog and sharing ourselves with others by being open and curious.</span> We could also take the path that will lead to us increasing our understanding of intimacy and shared our resources with others. Either way, we can develop a new perspective on how to approach these things. Awareness is key with this aspect: What is needed? How can we serve the broader view?</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>17-19 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>?

We have the ability to look at everything in a very down-to-earth manner right now; through our understanding of \"what is and what is not\", we can make more powerful choices. </span><span class=\"s1\"> </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We can also deepen our understanding of our own motivations and look closely at where we are heading. This aspect also brings an intensity and a depth to our conscious awareness; therefore this is also a great time to transform our lives, stripping away anything -- even people -- that no longer connect with who we are. </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Ask yourself: How can I live more authentically? Is there anything holding me back? What fears and attachments could I release now, that no longer serve my evolution? Am I willing to let them go, just for now, and just as best as I can?</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>18-24 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn</i></b><i> or <b>Virgo</b></i><i>?

We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our intuition.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes. This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?</span></p>\r\n<strong>Friday night</strong> (Saturday very early morning), <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:05am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening (May 10th) on, it will remain strong until Saturday evening (May 12th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice… so we need to develop inner awareness.</span><span class=\"s2\"> </span>\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Fear of disappointment is causing some tension. Our inner need for growth requires honesty about what is causing those fears -- most likely our own lack of good boundaries and self-esteem. Watch out for getting pulled into overly burdensome roles in other people\'s lives, because you feel it is required of you, this can often be a path into \"control issues\". </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">As best as you can, carefully examine your motivations and self-image: How do you feel about your ability to communicate, share yourself and connect on a deep emotional level? What role does fear play in all of this?</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>20-22 degrees </em></i></span><span class=\"s1\"><i>of</i><b><i> Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>?

This is a chance to have some discussions that have been overdue. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">As best as you can, make it a productive discussion that serves you and others -- a win-win -- otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards. Also, watch out on the road for some crazy drivers… rushing might not necessarily get you there faster ;-) </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s3\"><i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets)<span class=\"s1\">in the following: 25-29 </span><span class=\"s2\">degrees</span><span class=\"s1\"> of<strong> Aries, </strong><strong>Capricorn</strong>,<strong> Libra, Cancer,</strong> or 0-1 degree of <b>Taurus, Aquarius, Scorpio </b>or<b> Leo</b>?</span></i></span><span class=\"s3\"><i> </i></span><span class=\"s2\"><i>If so, you may feel more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries)</i></span><i></i></p>\r\nAlso on <strong>Saturday, </strong><em>Mars enters its 6.5-week shadow phase, when it reaches 28.5 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong>. </em><span class=\"s1\">This precedes the retrograde phase, which will begin on March 22nd in almost 17 degrees of <b>Aries</b> (more on that in 3 weeks).</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">So what is the \"shadow phase\"? To explain this, I\'ll quickly cover what happens when a planet \"stations\" and then goes “retrograde\".</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Relative to us on Earth, a planet sometimes looks like it is slowing down (\"stationing\"), then stopping. After being still for a while, it actually appears to go \"backward\" through the sky (this is the \"retrograde\" phase). It\'s a little like catching up to a car on the highway, driving exactly alongside it for a moment, then passing it and pulling ahead.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">At first, retrograde movement is slow, but the planet gradually reaches its normal pace through the sky -- except it\'s going backward. The process then reverses itself: the backward pace slows, the planet crawls to a \"halt\", then it starts to move forward again (i.e. it goes direct). In our car analogy, it\'s like the car you just passed gradually speeds up and passes you again.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">There are also two \"shadow\" phases -- during these, the planet travels over a part of the sky it will later \"revisit\". The first \"shadow\" comes before the planet moves backward; the second comes when the planet starts to catch back up (after going direct).</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It\'s like you went hiking and left something behind at camp. If you went back to get it, you\'d have some catching up to do, and would see the same scenery twice or more.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Mercury\'s shadow phases usually last 2-3 weeks before and after the Retrograde phase.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items -- especially connected to transportation (cars, airline tickets, etc.) or communication devices (phone, computer, iPad, etc.) -- be aware of the shadow periods as well as the retrograde phases.

Mars enters its shadow phase on Saturday, and Mercury changes signs from Aries to Taurus on Sunday.\r\n\r\nThere will be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: Tuesday late evening (for almost 1 hour), Friday early morning (for a little over 3.5 hours), and Sunday afternoon (for 10 minutes).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (May 7th)</strong>:<em> the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking</em> <strong><em>Aquarius</em> all day</strong>. It will journey there <b>until Tuesday late evening. </b>The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount. With this Moon placement we can feel already the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Monday late evening).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:52am EDT.<strong> We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday afternoon (May 5th) on, it will remain strong until this Wednesday afternoon (May 9th). </strong>This aspect creates some tension in our lives. We may feel anxious or stressed by one or more situations or interactions to do with...\r\n\r\n...our own personal goals.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe are being invited to grow and make some changes in our lives, particularly in terms of our thinking processes. We are being asked to<b> </b>find creative solutions and be completely honest with ourselves and others. The best way to achieve this is by the continual practice of self-care and self-nurturing.\r\n\r\nWe have tremendous focus and drive right now, which can tip into obsession. With this aspect an all-or-nothing attitude is very likely. Choose love over fear whenever possible. Not many people enjoy being second-guessed all the time, yet that is something that we are inclined to do now.\r\n\r\nHowever, our determination to get to the bottom of any matter, to rip away falsehoods and expose true motives, can be used for good if we employ it in our work, for example, in regards to investigations or research. This is an opportunity to learn to harness our intense mental energy and apply it productively. We are also capable of very hard work, focus and effort now.\r\n\r\nWe have a great love of debate, but should be careful that we don\'t overpower others with our strong opinions, attempting to \"convert\" them to our frame of mind, or treat regular exchanges of opinion as battlegrounds. Connect to yourself and others, empowering yourself/them with what you feel passionate about.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nChoose your words/thoughts carefully, from a deeply connected and empowered place rather than from a place of fear, self-protection or a need for survival.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>18-24 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early evening</strong>, a challenging Venus/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 5:58pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday morning (May 5th) on, it will remain strong until this Thursday morning (May 10th).</strong> We can be confused, unrealistic, or overly idealistic around love and money -- so it\'s best to wait until the transit is over, before making big moves in these areas -- if you make long-term financial investments, buy or sell big-ticket items, or start brand-new relationships, it\'s likely you will not see things as they truly are.\r\n\r\nWe are actually being asked to have faith; to let our intuition guide us in money and love -- if we are able to do this, we will grow through it. As best as you can, be compassionate with yourself and others during these 5 days -- it might also help to know that relationships and endeavors of a spiritual or artistic nature can move forward at this time.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>13-19 degrees</em></i></span><span class=\"s1\"><i> of</i> <b><i>Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

The Moon in <strong>Aquarius</strong> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in <strong>Taurus</strong>. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Aquarius last Sunday morning (May 6th). </strong><span class=\"s2\"><i> </i>This may bring challenges; however, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed. </span>\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to May 15th\'s New Moon in <strong>Taurus</strong>. With the last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us to take a look at what needs to be completed. What -- if anything -- needs last-minute adjustments? What did you discover since April 15th? What did it mean for you? What actions could shift the things you seeded or started in mid-late April?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 15-20 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Aquarius, Leo </strong>or<strong> Scorpio</strong>? If so, you will feel this month\'s last Quarter Moon quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in <strong>Leo </strong>or<strong> Cancer</strong> (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (May 8th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking</em> <strong><em>Aquarius</em> until 11:11pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for more details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late evening</strong>, <em>a Sun/Jupiter opposition</em> becomes exact at 8:39pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday morning (May 5th) on, it will remain strong until this Friday evening (May 11th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This aspect can bring an opportunity to open up our consciousness through other people. As best as you can, expand your perspectives about intimate relationships, other people\'s resources and be open to bringing some optimism to those areas of your life. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The urge to grow and expand is strong, but we might overreach -- and hasty actions could backfire. As best as you can, don’t expect too much from others or yourself; avoid over-promising, and create deeper connections whenever you can. Use humor :-) </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Projects or ambitions may come to a culmination point, or undergo surprising changes; ask yourself: What insights am I receiving? Where can I go from here? What if I walked in their shoes, just for a moment? Where would I walk to? </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in<em>15-22 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, </i></span><span class=\"s1\"><i>you may feel more affected by this opposition.This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i> </span></p>\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 10:29pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for almost an hour, <strong>until 11:11pm EDT</strong>. <span class=\"s1\">Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.</span>\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC,</a> as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday late evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 11:11pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters creative, sensitive <strong>Pisces</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Friday morning. </strong><span class=\"s1\">This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">But... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.</span></p>\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 9th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive</em><strong><em> Pisces</em> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:36pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning (May 8th) on, it will remain strong until Thursday morning (May 10th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed in order to see what needs adjusting.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This aspect is a fork in the road. We could take the path of learning about inner dialog and sharing ourselves with others by being open and curious -- or, we could take the path that leads to increased understanding of intimacy and resources that are shared with others. </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Either way, we can develop a new perspective on how to approach these things. Awareness is key with this aspect: What is needed? How can we serve the broader view?</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>17-19 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i></span></p>\r\n<strong>Thursday (May 10th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive</em> <strong>Pisces all day</strong> (see Tuesday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early morning,</strong> <span class=\"s1\">we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours. </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday late morning,</strong> a nice feeling of ease and an ability to trust and connect deeply with others. As best as you can, trust your intuitive sensing right now, allow whatever comes up to be beneficial for you.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Thursday early afternoon: </b>we feel a need to go within -- and also want to connect and learn from others. This tension clearly invites us to stretch a little and resolve it through creative solutions -- the key here is to listen to our intuition, so we don\'t drive ourselves or others crazy. </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Thursday afternoon: </strong>we get an opportunity to be very present; also to connect with others and share practical advice, or simply enjoy \"the good things in life\". As best as you can, bring a sense of flow and faith to who you are being, and allow yourself to slow down and connect with nature. </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Thursday late afternoon, </strong>we have the opportunity to be guided by inspiration, and fully commit to a project or task that might serve us long-term. As best as you can, listen and trust to the subtle messages in your heart, that stir you towards success.</span></p>\r\n<strong>Friday (May 11th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive</em> <strong>Pisces</strong> <strong>until 8:40am EDT</strong> (see Tuesday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 5:02am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for a little over 3.5 hours, <strong>until 8:40am EDT. </strong><span class=\"s1\">If you are awake during this intuitive time, take the opportunity to go within and listen to your subtle intuitive \"voice\" -- your heart -- then focus anew on your long-term goals.</span>\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday early morning and morning ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 8:40am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters pioneering, fast-paced <strong>Aries</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday afternoon</strong>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday evening</strong>, <em>a harmonious Sun/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 7:10pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning (May 8th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening (May 14th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This aspect brings a sense of focus and empowerment to our long-term goals. We have the ability to look at everything in a very down-to-earth manner right now; through our understanding of \"what is and what is not\", we can make more powerful choices. </span><span class=\"s1\"> </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We can also deepen our understanding of our own motivations and look closely at where we are heading. This aspect also brings an intensity and a depth to our conscious awareness; therefore this is also a great time to transform our lives, stripping away anything -- even people -- that no longer connect with who we are. </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Ask yourself: How can I live more authentically? Is there anything holding me back? What fears and attachments could I release now, that no longer serve my evolution? Am I willing to let them go, just for now, and just as best as I can?</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>18-24 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn</i></b><i> or <b>Virgo</b></i><i>? If so, you will be even more blessed by this aspect than those who do not; this is also true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (the Sun being the ruler of Leo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i></span></p>\r\n<strong>Friday late evening, </strong><em>the Balsamic Moon phase begins, when the Moon reaches 9.5 degrees of <strong>Aries. </strong></em><span class=\"s1\">This lasts <b>until Tuesday morning</b>, when the New Moon in <b>Taurus </b>becomes exact (for those of you who are impatiently waiting for my New Moon video, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"><span class=\"s2\">click here</span></a> after May 10th). We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our intuition.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes. This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?</span></p>\r\n<strong>Friday night</strong> (Saturday very early morning), <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:05am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening (May 10th) on, it will remain strong until Saturday evening (May 12th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice… so we need to develop inner awareness.</span><span class=\"s2\"> </span>\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Fear of disappointment is causing some tension. Our inner need for growth requires honesty about what is causing those fears -- most likely our own lack of good boundaries and self-esteem. Watch out for getting pulled into overly burdensome roles in other people\'s lives, because you feel it is required of you, this can often be a path into \"control issues\". </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">As best as you can, carefully examine your motivations and self-image: How do you feel about your ability to communicate, share yourself and connect on a deep emotional level? What role does fear play in all of this?</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>20-22 degrees </em></i></span><span class=\"s1\"><i>of</i><b><i> Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i></span></p>\r\n<strong>Saturday (May 12th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced</em> <strong>Aries</strong> <strong>all day</strong> (see Friday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday late morning</strong>,<em> a challenging Mercury/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 9:30am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday (May 10th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening (May 14th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">Due to the recent Mercury Retrograde phase, we get to experience this aspect several times; this is the third and last pass within the last 10 weeks. </span>\r\n\r\n<span class=\"s1\">This gives us a chance to address our approach toward any misunderstandings. </span><span class=\"s1\">This aspect<i> </i></span><span class=\"s2\">brings some juicy energy to our conversations. This is a chance to have some discussions that have been overdue. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">As best as you can, make it a productive discussion that serves you and others -- a win-win -- otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards. Also, watch out on the road for some crazy drivers… rushing might not necessarily get you there faster ;-) </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s3\"><i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets)<span class=\"s1\">in the following: 25-29 </span><span class=\"s2\">degrees</span><span class=\"s1\"> of<strong> Aries, </strong><strong>Capricorn</strong>,<strong> Libra, Cancer,</strong> or 0-1 degree of <b>Taurus, Aquarius, Scorpio </b>or<b> Leo</b>?</span></i></span><span class=\"s3\"><i> </i></span><span class=\"s2\"><i>If so, you may feel more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries)</i></span><i></i></p>\r\nAlso on <strong>Saturday, </strong><em>Mars enters its 6.5-week shadow phase, when it reaches 28.5 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong>. </em><span class=\"s1\">This precedes the retrograde phase, which will begin on June 26th in 9 degrees of <b>Aquarius</b> (more on that in 6 weeks).</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">So what is the \"shadow phase\"? To explain this, I\'ll quickly cover what happens when a planet \"stations\" and then goes “retrograde\".</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Relative to us on Earth, a planet sometimes looks like it is slowing down (\"stationing\"), then stopping. After being still for a while, it actually appears to go \"backward\" through the sky (this is the \"retrograde\" phase). It\'s a little like catching up to a car on the highway, driving exactly alongside it for a moment, then passing it and pulling ahead.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">At first, retrograde movement is slow, but the planet gradually reaches its normal pace through the sky -- except it\'s going backward. The process then reverses itself: the backward pace slows, the planet crawls to a \"halt\", then it starts to move forward again (i.e. it goes direct). In our car analogy, it\'s like the car you just passed gradually speeds up and passes you again.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">There are also two \"shadow\" phases -- during these, the planet travels over a part of the sky it will later \"revisit\". The first \"shadow\" comes before the planet moves backward; the second comes when the planet starts to catch back up (after going direct).</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It\'s like you went hiking and left something behind at camp. If you went back to get it, you\'d have some catching up to do, and would see the same scenery twice or more. </span><span class=\"s1\">Mars\'s shadow phases usually last 6-7 weeks before and after the Retrograde phase. Pay attention to what you do or pursue during this time; you may need to revisit or redo them during the Retrograde phase.</span></p>\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 13th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced</em> <strong>Aries until 2:15 EDT</strong> (see Friday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Uranus alignment in 29 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> becomes exact at 6:50am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday morning (May 11th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Tuesday (May 5th).  </strong><span class=\"s1\">With this alignment, an important insight is coming through, something new is preparing to enter consciousness – and we are getting the urge to move forward. We might experience some really unusual conversations. Our mind could be flooded with new information and ideas, and we most likely feel enthusiastic and excited by these fresh ideas and insights. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It\'s a time when we could achieve real breakthroughs in the form of ideas, communications, and the mind in general — but coupled with the possibility of edginess and impatience toward those who don’t “get” our new insights. Nervousness, impulsivity and fidgeting could be a by-product of this alignment as well. </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Computers and electronics may suddenly become important. We\'ll likely have flashes of insight into our own mental workings, original thoughts, etc. As best as you can, and as much as you want to, stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body. That way, all that energy can move through you, without shaking you to the core ;-)</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 27-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn, </i></b><i>or 0-3 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </strong>or<strong> Aquarius</strong></i><i>?

We appreciate common sense; we rely on our senses when it comes to processing information. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">A well-developed sense of color, smell, and touch are characteristic of this Mercury position, so as long as Mercury is in Taurus, we will be drawn towards the \"tasteful\" in the realm of the five senses. We are more likely to have a no-nonsense approach to decision-making, and our ideas are often very practical and useful at this time.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">When it comes to learning, we prefer demonstrations, concrete answers, and basic concepts for the next 3 weeks. We learn best when we see real-world uses for the theories we are trying to absorb. We simply process information better when we can personalize it (\"what use is it to me?\") and attach it to the practical world.  </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>?

Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius.

We are being asked to<b> </b>find creative solutions and be completely honest with ourselves and others. The best way to achieve this is by the continual practice of self-care and self-nurturing.\r\n\r\nWe have tremendous focus and drive right now, which can tip into obsession. With this aspect an all-or-nothing attitude is very likely. Choose love over fear whenever possible. Not many people enjoy being second-guessed all the time, yet that is something that we are inclined to do now.\r\n\r\nHowever, our determination to get to the bottom of any matter, to rip away falsehoods and expose true motives, can be used for good if we employ it in our work, for example, in regards to investigations or research. This is an opportunity to learn to harness our intense mental energy and apply it productively. We are also capable of very hard work, focus and effort now.\r\n\r\nWe have a great love of debate, but should be careful that we don\'t overpower others with our strong opinions, attempting to \"convert\" them to our frame of mind, or treat regular exchanges of opinion as battlegrounds. Connect to yourself and others, empowering yourself/them with what you feel passionate about.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nChoose your words/thoughts carefully, from a deeply connected and empowered place rather than from a place of fear, self-protection or a need for survival.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>18-24 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early evening</strong>, <em>a challenging Venus/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:58pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday morning (May 5th) on, it will remain strong until this Thursday morning (May 10th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">We can be confused, unrealistic, or overly idealistic around love and money -- so it\'s best to wait until the transit is over, before making big moves in these areas -- if you make long-term financial investments, buy or sell big-ticket items, or start brand-new relationships, it\'s likely you will not see things as they truly are.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We are actually being asked to have faith; to let our intuition guide us in money and love -- if we are able to do this, we will grow through it. As best as you can, be compassionate with yourself and others during these 5 days -- it might also help to know that relationships and endeavors of a spiritual or artistic nature can move forward at this time. </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>13-19 degrees</em></i></span><span class=\"s1\"><i> of</i> <b><i>Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

The Moon in <strong>Aquarius</strong> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in <strong>Taurus</strong>. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Aquarius last Sunday morning (May 6th). </strong><span class=\"s2\"><i> </i>This may bring challenges; however, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">This Moon phase brings us closer to May 15th\'s New Moon in <b>Taurus</b>. With the last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us to take a look at what needs to be completed. What -- if anything -- needs last-minute adjustments? What did you discover since April 15th? What did it mean for you? What actions could shift the things you seeded or started in mid-late April?</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">As best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).</span></p>\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>15-20 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Aquarius, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this month\'s last Quarter Moon quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (May 8th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking</em> <strong><em>Aquarius</em> until 11:11pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for more details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late evening</strong>, <em>a Sun/Jupiter opposition</em> becomes exact at 8:39pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday morning (May 5th) on, it will remain strong until this Friday evening (May 11th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This aspect can bring an opportunity to open up our consciousness through other people. As best as you can, expand your perspectives about intimate relationships, other people\'s resources and be open to bringing some optimism to those areas of your life. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The urge to grow and expand is strong, but we might overreach -- and hasty actions could backfire. As best as you can, don’t expect too much from others or yourself; avoid over-promising, and create a win-win whenever you can. Use humor :-) </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Projects or ambitions may come to a culmination point, or undergo surprising changes; ask yourself: What insights am I receiving? Where can I go from here? What if I walked in their shoes, just for a moment? Where would I walk to? </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in<em>15-22 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>?

We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">But... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.</span></p>\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 9th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive</em><strong><em> Pisces</em> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:36pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning (May 8th) on, it will remain strong until Thursday morning (May 10th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed in order to see what needs adjusting.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This aspect is a fork in the road: <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">We could take a path that leads toward learning about inner dialog and sharing ourselves with others by being open and curious.</span> We could also take the path that will lead to us increasing our understanding of intimacy and shared our resources with others. Either way, we can develop a new perspective on how to approach these things. Awareness is key with this aspect: What is needed? How can we serve the broader view?</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>17-19 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>?

This aspect also brings an intensity and a depth to our conscious awareness; therefore this is also a great time to transform our lives, stripping away anything -- even people -- that no longer connect with who we are. </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Ask yourself: How can I live more authentically? Is there anything holding me back? What fears and attachments could I release now, that no longer serve my evolution? Am I willing to let them go, just for now, and just as best as I can?</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>18-24 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn</i></b><i> or <b>Virgo</b></i><i>?

We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our intuition.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes. This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?</span></p>\r\n<strong>Friday night</strong> (Saturday very early morning), <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:05am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening (May 10th) on, it will remain strong until Saturday evening (May 12th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice… so we need to develop inner awareness.</span><span class=\"s2\"> </span>\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Fear of disappointment is causing some tension. Our inner need for growth requires honesty about what is causing those fears -- most likely our own lack of good boundaries and self-esteem. Watch out for getting pulled into overly burdensome roles in other people\'s lives, because you feel it is required of you, this can often be a path into \"control issues\". </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">As best as you can, carefully examine your motivations and self-image: How do you feel about your ability to communicate, share yourself and connect on a deep emotional level? What role does fear play in all of this?</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>20-22 degrees </em></i></span><span class=\"s1\"><i>of</i><b><i> Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>?

Also, watch out on the road for some crazy drivers… rushing might not necessarily get you there faster ;-) </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s3\"><i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets)<span class=\"s1\">in the following: 25-29 </span><span class=\"s2\">degrees</span><span class=\"s1\"> of<strong> Aries, </strong><strong>Capricorn</strong>,<strong> Libra, Cancer,</strong> or 0-1 degree of <b>Taurus, Aquarius, Scorpio </b>or<b> Leo</b>?</span></i></span><span class=\"s3\"><i> </i></span><span class=\"s2\"><i>If so, you may feel more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries)</i></span><i></i></p>\r\nAlso on <strong>Saturday, </strong><em>Mars enters its 6.5-week shadow phase, when it reaches 28.5 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong>. </em><span class=\"s1\">This precedes the retrograde phase, which will begin on June 26th in 9 degrees of <b>Aquarius</b> (more on that in 6 weeks).</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">So what is the \"shadow phase\"? To explain this, I\'ll quickly cover what happens when a planet \"stations\" and then goes “retrograde\".</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Relative to us on Earth, a planet sometimes looks like it is slowing down (\"stationing\"), then stopping. After being still for a while, it actually appears to go \"backward\" through the sky (this is the \"retrograde\" phase). It\'s a little like catching up to a car on the highway, driving exactly alongside it for a moment, then passing it and pulling ahead.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">At first, retrograde movement is slow, but the planet gradually reaches its normal pace through the sky -- except it\'s going backward. The process then reverses itself: the backward pace slows, the planet crawls to a \"halt\", then it starts to move forward again (i.e. it goes direct). In our car analogy, it\'s like the car you just passed gradually speeds up and passes you again.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">There are also two \"shadow\" phases -- during these, the planet travels over a part of the sky it will later \"revisit\". The first \"shadow\" comes before the planet moves backward; the second comes when the planet starts to catch back up (after going direct).</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It\'s like you went hiking and left something behind at camp. If you went back to get it, you\'d have some catching up to do, and would see the same scenery twice or more. </span><span class=\"s1\" style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Mars\'s shadow phases usually last 6-7 weeks before and after the Retrograde phase. Pay attention to what you do or go after during this time. You may need to revisit some of these things or do them again, during the Mars Retrograde phase.</span></p>\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 13th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced</em> <strong>Aries until 2:15 EDT</strong> (see Friday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Uranus alignment in 29 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> becomes exact at 6:50am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday morning (May 11th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Tuesday (May 5th).  </strong><span class=\"s1\">With this alignment, an important insight is coming through, something new is preparing to enter consciousness – and we are getting the urge to move forward. We might experience some really unusual conversations. Our mind could be flooded with new information and ideas, and we most likely feel enthusiastic and excited by these fresh ideas and insights. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It\'s a time when we could achieve real breakthroughs in the form of ideas, communications, and the mind in general — but coupled with the possibility of edginess and impatience toward those who don’t “get” our new insights. Nervousness, impulsivity and fidgeting could be a by-product of this alignment as well. </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Computers and electronics may suddenly become important. We\'ll likely have flashes of insight into our own mental workings, original thoughts, etc. As best as you can, and as much as you want to, stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body. That way, all that energy can move through you, without shaking you to the core ;-)</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 27-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn, </i></b><i>or 0-3 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </strong>or<strong> Aquarius</strong></i><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly.

We appreciate common sense; we rely on our senses when it comes to processing information. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">A well-developed sense of color, smell, and touch are characteristic of this Mercury position, so as long as Mercury is in Taurus, we will be drawn towards the \"tasteful\" in the realm of the five senses. We are more likely to have a no-nonsense approach to decision-making, and our ideas are often very practical and useful at this time.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">When it comes to learning, we prefer demonstrations, concrete answers, and basic concepts for the next 3 weeks. We learn best when we see real-world uses for the theories we are trying to absorb. We simply process information better when we can personalize it (\"what use is it to me?\") and attach it to the practical world.  </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>?

It will journey there <b>until Tuesday late evening. </b>The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount.

We are being asked to<b> </b>find creative solutions and be completely honest with ourselves and others. The best way to achieve this is by the continual practice of self-care and self-nurturing.\r\n\r\nWe have tremendous focus and drive right now, which can tip into obsession. With this aspect an all-or-nothing attitude is very likely. Choose love over fear whenever possible. Not many people enjoy being second-guessed all the time, yet that is something that we are inclined to do now.\r\n\r\nHowever, our determination to get to the bottom of any matter, to rip away falsehoods and expose true motives, can be used for good if we employ it in our work, for example, in regards to investigations or research. This is an opportunity to learn to harness our intense mental energy and apply it productively. We are also capable of very hard work, focus and effort now.\r\n\r\nWe have a great love of debate, but should be careful that we don\'t overpower others with our strong opinions, attempting to \"convert\" them to our frame of mind, or treat regular exchanges of opinion as battlegrounds. Connect to yourself and others, empowering yourself/them with what you feel passionate about.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nChoose your words/thoughts carefully, from a deeply connected and empowered place rather than from a place of fear, self-protection or a need for survival.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>18-24 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

As best as you can, be compassionate with yourself and others during these 5 days -- it might also help to know that relationships and endeavors of a spiritual or artistic nature can move forward at this time. </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>13-19 degrees</em></i></span><span class=\"s1\"><i> of</i> <b><i>Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

With the last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us to take a look at what needs to be completed. What -- if anything -- needs last-minute adjustments? What did you discover since April 15th? What did it mean for you? What actions could shift the things you seeded or started in mid-late April?</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">As best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).</span></p>\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>15-20 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Aquarius, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>?

As best as you can, expand your perspectives about intimate relationships, other people\'s resources and be open to bringing some optimism to those areas of your life. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The urge to grow and expand is strong, but we might overreach -- and hasty actions could backfire. As best as you can, don’t expect too much from others or yourself; avoid over-promising, and create deeper connections whenever you can. Use humor :-) </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Projects or ambitions may come to a culmination point, or undergo surprising changes; ask yourself: What insights am I receiving?

We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">But... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\".

We could take the path of learning about inner dialog and sharing ourselves with others by being open and curious -- or, we could take the path that leads to increased understanding of intimacy and resources that are shared with others. </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Either way, we can develop a new perspective on how to approach these things.

This aspect also brings an intensity and a depth to our conscious awareness; therefore this is also a great time to transform our lives, stripping away anything -- even people -- that no longer connect with who we are. </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Ask yourself: How can I live more authentically? Is there anything holding me back? What fears and attachments could I release now, that no longer serve my evolution?

We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our intuition.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes. This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?</span></p>\r\n<strong>Friday night</strong> (Saturday very early morning), <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:05am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening (May 10th) on, it will remain strong until Saturday evening (May 12th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice… so we need to develop inner awareness.</span><span class=\"s2\"> </span>\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Fear of disappointment is causing some tension. Our inner need for growth requires honesty about what is causing those fears -- most likely our own lack of good boundaries and self-esteem. Watch out for getting pulled into overly burdensome roles in other people\'s lives, because you feel it is required of you, this can often be a path into \"control issues\". </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">As best as you can, carefully examine your motivations and self-image: How do you feel about your ability to communicate, share yourself and connect on a deep emotional level? What role does fear play in all of this?</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>20-22 degrees </em></i></span><span class=\"s1\"><i>of</i><b><i> Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>?

This is a chance to have some discussions that have been overdue. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">As best as you can, make it a productive discussion that serves you and others -- a win-win -- otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards. Also, watch out on the road for some crazy drivers… rushing might not necessarily get you there faster ;-) </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s3\"><i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets)<span class=\"s1\">in the following: 25-29 </span><span class=\"s2\">degrees</span><span class=\"s1\"> of<strong> Aries, </strong><strong>Capricorn</strong>,<strong> Libra, Cancer,</strong> or 0-1 degree of <b>Taurus, Aquarius, Scorpio </b>or<b> Leo</b>?</span></i></span><span class=\"s3\"><i> </i></span><span class=\"s2\"><i>If so, you may feel more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries)</i></span><i></i></p>\r\nAlso on <strong>Saturday, </strong><em>Mars enters its 6.5-week shadow phase, when it reaches 28.5 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong>. </em><span class=\"s1\">This precedes the retrograde phase, which will begin on June 26th in 9 degrees of <b>Aquarius</b> (more on that in 6 weeks).</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">So what is the \"shadow phase\"? To explain this, I\'ll quickly cover what happens when a planet \"stations\" and then goes “retrograde\".</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Relative to us on Earth, a planet sometimes looks like it is slowing down (\"stationing\"), then stopping. After being still for a while, it actually appears to go \"backward\" through the sky (this is the \"retrograde\" phase). It\'s a little like catching up to a car on the highway, driving exactly alongside it for a moment, then passing it and pulling ahead.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">At first, retrograde movement is slow, but the planet gradually reaches its normal pace through the sky -- except it\'s going backward. The process then reverses itself: the backward pace slows, the planet crawls to a \"halt\", then it starts to move forward again (i.e. it goes direct). In our car analogy, it\'s like the car you just passed gradually speeds up and passes you again.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">There are also two \"shadow\" phases -- during these, the planet travels over a part of the sky it will later \"revisit\". The first \"shadow\" comes before the planet moves backward; the second comes when the planet starts to catch back up (after going direct).</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It\'s like you went hiking and left something behind at camp. If you went back to get it, you\'d have some catching up to do, and would see the same scenery twice or more. </span><span class=\"s1\">Mars\'s shadow phases usually last 6-7 weeks before and after the Retrograde phase. Pay attention to what you do or pursue during this time; you may need to revisit or redo them during the Retrograde phase.</span></p>\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 13th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced</em> <strong>Aries until 2:15 EDT</strong> (see Friday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Uranus alignment in 29 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> becomes exact at 6:50am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday morning (May 11th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Tuesday (May 5th).  </strong><span class=\"s1\">With this alignment, an important insight is coming through, something new is preparing to enter consciousness – and we are getting the urge to move forward. We might experience some really unusual conversations. Our mind could be flooded with new information and ideas, and we most likely feel enthusiastic and excited by these fresh ideas and insights. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It\'s a time when we could achieve real breakthroughs in the form of ideas, communications, and the mind in general — but coupled with the possibility of edginess and impatience toward those who don’t “get” our new insights. Nervousness, impulsivity and fidgeting could be a by-product of this alignment as well. </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Computers and electronics may suddenly become important. We\'ll likely have flashes of insight into our own mental workings, original thoughts, etc. As best as you can, and as much as you want to, stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body. That way, all that energy can move through you, without shaking you to the core ;-)</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 27-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn, </i></b><i>or 0-3 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </strong>or<strong> Aquarius</strong></i><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>  (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Uranus rules Aquarius).</i></span></p>\r\n<strong>Sunday at 8:40am EDT</strong>, <span class=\"s1\"><i>Mercury changes signs from</i></span><i> </i><span class=\"s1\"><i>enthusiastic, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> to steady, peaceful </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b></span><span class=\"s2\">, where it will journey<b> until <strong>May 29th</strong></b>.<b> </b></span><span class=\"s2\"><b>For the next 3 weeks</b>, our thinking shifts gears: we want to connect to others in a realistic, down-to-earth way and we \"say it like it is\". We appreciate common sense; we rely on our senses when it comes to processing information. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">A well-developed sense of color, smell, and touch are characteristic of this Mercury position, so as long as Mercury is in Taurus, we will be drawn towards the \"tasteful\" in the realm of the five senses. We are more likely to have a no-nonsense approach to decision-making, and our ideas are often very practical and useful at this time.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">When it comes to learning, we prefer demonstrations, concrete answers, and basic concepts for the next 3 weeks. We learn best when we see real-world uses for the theories we are trying to absorb. We simply process information better when we can personalize it (\"what use is it to me?\") and attach it to the practical world.  </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>?

We are being asked to<b> </b>find creative solutions and be completely honest with ourselves and others. The best way to achieve this is by the continual practice of self-care and self-nurturing.\r\n\r\nWe have tremendous focus and drive right now, which can tip into obsession. With this aspect an all-or-nothing attitude is very likely. Choose love over fear whenever possible. Not many people enjoy being second-guessed all the time, yet that is something that we are inclined to do now.\r\n\r\nHowever, our determination to get to the bottom of any matter, to rip away falsehoods and expose true motives, can be used for good if we employ it in our work, for example, in regards to investigations or research. This is an opportunity to learn to harness our intense mental energy and apply it productively. We are also capable of very hard work, focus and effort now.\r\n\r\nWe have a great love of debate, but should be careful that we don\'t overpower others with our strong opinions, attempting to \"convert\" them to our frame of mind, or treat regular exchanges of opinion as battlegrounds. Connect to yourself and others, empowering yourself/them with what you feel passionate about.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nChoose your words/thoughts carefully, from a deeply connected and empowered place rather than from a place of fear, self-protection or a need for survival.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>18-24 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

As best as you can, be compassionate with yourself and others during these 5 days -- it might also help to know that relationships and endeavors of a spiritual or artistic nature can move forward at this time. </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>13-19 degrees</em></i></span><span class=\"s1\"><i> of</i> <b><i>Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

With the last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us to take a look at what needs to be completed. What -- if anything -- needs last-minute adjustments? What did you discover since April 15th? What did it mean for you? What actions could shift the things you seeded or started in mid-late April?</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">As best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).</span></p>\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>15-20 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Aquarius, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>?

As best as you can, expand your perspectives about intimate relationships, other people\'s resources and be open to bringing some optimism to those areas of your life. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The urge to grow and expand is strong, but we might overreach -- and hasty actions could backfire. As best as you can, don’t expect too much from others or yourself; avoid over-promising, and create deeper connections whenever you can. Use humor :-) </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Projects or ambitions may come to a culmination point, or undergo surprising changes; ask yourself: What insights am I receiving?

A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\".

We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed in order to see what needs adjusting.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This aspect is a fork in the road: <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">We could take a path that leads toward learning about inner dialog and sharing ourselves with others by being open and curious.</span> We could also take the path that will lead to us increasing our understanding of intimacy and shared our resources with others. Either way, we can develop a new perspective on how to approach these things. Awareness is key with this aspect: What is needed? How can we serve the broader view?</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>17-19 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>?

This aspect also brings an intensity and a depth to our conscious awareness; therefore this is also a great time to transform our lives, stripping away anything -- even people -- that no longer connect with who we are. </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Ask yourself: How can I live more authentically? Is there anything holding me back? What fears and attachments could I release now, that no longer serve my evolution?

As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes.

We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice… so we need to develop inner awareness.</span><span class=\"s2\"> </span>\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Fear of disappointment is causing some tension. Our inner need for growth requires honesty about what is causing those fears -- most likely our own lack of good boundaries and self-esteem. Watch out for getting pulled into overly burdensome roles in other people\'s lives, because you feel it is required of you, this can often be a path into \"control issues\". </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">As best as you can, carefully examine your motivations and self-image: How do you feel about your ability to communicate, share yourself and connect on a deep emotional level?

This is a chance to have some discussions that have been overdue. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">As best as you can, make it a productive discussion that serves you and others -- a win-win -- otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards. Also, watch out on the road for some crazy drivers… rushing might not necessarily get you there faster ;-) </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s3\"><i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets)<span class=\"s1\">in the following: 25-29 </span><span class=\"s2\">degrees</span><span class=\"s1\"> of<strong> Aries, </strong><strong>Capricorn</strong>,<strong> Libra, Cancer,</strong> or 0-1 degree of <b>Taurus, Aquarius, Scorpio </b>or<b> Leo</b>?</span></i></span><span class=\"s3\"><i> </i></span><span class=\"s2\"><i>If so, you may feel more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries)</i></span><i></i></p>\r\nAlso on <strong>Saturday, </strong><em>Mars enters its 6.5-week shadow phase, when it reaches 28.5 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong>. </em><span class=\"s1\">This precedes the retrograde phase, which will begin on June 26th in 9 degrees of <b>Aquarius</b> (more on that in 6 weeks).</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">So what is the \"shadow phase\"? To explain this, I\'ll quickly cover what happens when a planet \"stations\" and then goes “retrograde\".</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Relative to us on Earth, a planet sometimes looks like it is slowing down (\"stationing\"), then stopping. After being still for a while, it actually appears to go \"backward\" through the sky (this is the \"retrograde\" phase). It\'s a little like catching up to a car on the highway, driving exactly alongside it for a moment, then passing it and pulling ahead.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">At first, retrograde movement is slow, but the planet gradually reaches its normal pace through the sky -- except it\'s going backward. The process then reverses itself: the backward pace slows, the planet crawls to a \"halt\", then it starts to move forward again (i.e. it goes direct). In our car analogy, it\'s like the car you just passed gradually speeds up and passes you again.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">There are also two \"shadow\" phases -- during these, the planet travels over a part of the sky it will later \"revisit\". The first \"shadow\" comes before the planet moves backward; the second comes when the planet starts to catch back up (after going direct).</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It\'s like you went hiking and left something behind at camp. If you went back to get it, you\'d have some catching up to do, and would see the same scenery twice or more. </span><span class=\"s1\" style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Mars\'s shadow phases usually last 6-7 weeks before and after the Retrograde phase. Pay attention to what you do or go after during this time. You may need to revisit some of these things or do them again, during the Mars Retrograde phase.</span></p>\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 13th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced</em> <strong>Aries until 2:15 EDT</strong> (see Friday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Uranus alignment in 29 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> becomes exact at 6:50am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday morning (May 11th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Tuesday (May 5th).  </strong><span class=\"s1\">With this alignment, an important insight is coming through, something new is preparing to enter consciousness – and we are getting the urge to move forward. We might experience some really unusual conversations. Our mind could be flooded with new information and ideas, and we most likely feel enthusiastic and excited by these fresh ideas and insights. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It\'s a time when we could achieve real breakthroughs in the form of ideas, communications, and the mind in general — but coupled with the possibility of edginess and impatience toward those who don’t “get” our new insights. Nervousness, impulsivity and fidgeting could be a by-product of this alignment as well. </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Computers and electronics may suddenly become important. We\'ll likely have flashes of insight into our own mental workings, original thoughts, etc. As best as you can, and as much as you want to, stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body. That way, all that energy can move through you, without shaking you to the core ;-)</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 27-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn, </i></b><i>or 0-3 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </strong>or<strong> Aquarius</strong></i><i>?

We appreciate common sense; we rely on our senses when it comes to processing information. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">A well-developed sense of color, smell, and touch are characteristic of this Mercury position, so as long as Mercury is in Taurus, we will be drawn towards the \"tasteful\" in the realm of the five senses. We are more likely to have a no-nonsense approach to decision-making, and our ideas are often very practical and useful at this time.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">When it comes to learning, we prefer demonstrations, concrete answers, and basic concepts for the next 3 weeks. We learn best when we see real-world uses for the theories we are trying to absorb. We simply process information better when we can personalize it (\"what use is it to me?\") and attach it to the practical world.  </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>?

The best way to achieve this is by the continual practice of self-care and self-nurturing.\r\n\r\nWe have tremendous focus and drive right now, which can tip into obsession. With this aspect an all-or-nothing attitude is very likely. Choose love over fear whenever possible. Not many people enjoy being second-guessed all the time, yet that is something that we are inclined to do now.\r\n\r\nHowever, our determination to get to the bottom of any matter, to rip away falsehoods and expose true motives, can be used for good if we employ it in our work, for example, in regards to investigations or research. This is an opportunity to learn to harness our intense mental energy and apply it productively. We are also capable of very hard work, focus and effort now.\r\n\r\nWe have a great love of debate, but should be careful that we don\'t overpower others with our strong opinions, attempting to \"convert\" them to our frame of mind, or treat regular exchanges of opinion as battlegrounds. Connect to yourself and others, empowering yourself/them with what you feel passionate about.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nChoose your words/thoughts carefully, from a deeply connected and empowered place rather than from a place of fear, self-protection or a need for survival.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>18-24 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes.

We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice… so we need to develop inner awareness.</span><span class=\"s2\"> </span>\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Fear of disappointment is causing some tension. Our inner need for growth requires honesty about what is causing those fears -- most likely our own lack of good boundaries and self-esteem. Watch out for getting pulled into overly burdensome roles in other people\'s lives, because you feel it is required of you, this can often be a path into \"control issues\". </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">As best as you can, carefully examine your motivations and self-image: How do you feel about your ability to communicate, share yourself and connect on a deep emotional level?

Also, watch out on the road for some crazy drivers… rushing might not necessarily get you there faster ;-) </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s3\"><i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets)<span class=\"s1\">in the following: 25-29 </span><span class=\"s2\">degrees</span><span class=\"s1\"> of<strong> Aries, </strong><strong>Capricorn</strong>,<strong> Libra, Cancer,</strong> or 0-1 degree of <b>Taurus, Aquarius, Scorpio </b>or<b> Leo</b>?</span></i></span><span class=\"s3\"><i> </i></span><span class=\"s2\"><i>If so, you may feel more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries)</i></span><i></i></p>\r\nAlso on <strong>Saturday, </strong><em>Mars enters its 6.5-week shadow phase, when it reaches 28.5 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong>. </em><span class=\"s1\">This precedes the retrograde phase, which will begin on June 26th in 9 degrees of <b>Aquarius</b> (more on that in 6 weeks).</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">So what is the \"shadow phase\"? To explain this, I\'ll quickly cover what happens when a planet \"stations\" and then goes “retrograde\".</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Relative to us on Earth, a planet sometimes looks like it is slowing down (\"stationing\"), then stopping. After being still for a while, it actually appears to go \"backward\" through the sky (this is the \"retrograde\" phase). It\'s a little like catching up to a car on the highway, driving exactly alongside it for a moment, then passing it and pulling ahead.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">At first, retrograde movement is slow, but the planet gradually reaches its normal pace through the sky -- except it\'s going backward. The process then reverses itself: the backward pace slows, the planet crawls to a \"halt\", then it starts to move forward again (i.e. it goes direct). In our car analogy, it\'s like the car you just passed gradually speeds up and passes you again.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">There are also two \"shadow\" phases -- during these, the planet travels over a part of the sky it will later \"revisit\". The first \"shadow\" comes before the planet moves backward; the second comes when the planet starts to catch back up (after going direct).</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It\'s like you went hiking and left something behind at camp. If you went back to get it, you\'d have some catching up to do, and would see the same scenery twice or more. </span><span class=\"s1\" style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Mars\'s shadow phases usually last 6-7 weeks before and after the Retrograde phase. Pay attention to what you do or go after during this time. You may need to revisit some of these things or do them again, during the Mars Retrograde phase.</span></p>\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 13th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced</em> <strong>Aries until 2:15 EDT</strong> (see Friday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Uranus alignment in 29 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> becomes exact at 6:50am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday morning (May 11th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Tuesday (May 5th).  </strong><span class=\"s1\">With this alignment, an important insight is coming through, something new is preparing to enter consciousness – and we are getting the urge to move forward. We might experience some really unusual conversations. Our mind could be flooded with new information and ideas, and we most likely feel enthusiastic and excited by these fresh ideas and insights. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It\'s a time when we could achieve real breakthroughs in the form of ideas, communications, and the mind in general — but coupled with the possibility of edginess and impatience toward those who don’t “get” our new insights. Nervousness, impulsivity and fidgeting could be a by-product of this alignment as well. </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Computers and electronics may suddenly become important. We\'ll likely have flashes of insight into our own mental workings, original thoughts, etc. As best as you can, and as much as you want to, stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body.

We appreciate common sense; we rely on our senses when it comes to processing information. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">A well-developed sense of color, smell, and touch are characteristic of this Mercury position, so as long as Mercury is in Taurus, we will be drawn towards the \"tasteful\" in the realm of the five senses. We are more likely to have a no-nonsense approach to decision-making, and our ideas are often very practical and useful at this time.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">When it comes to learning, we prefer demonstrations, concrete answers, and basic concepts for the next 3 weeks. We learn best when we see real-world uses for the theories we are trying to absorb.

It will journey there <b>until Tuesday late evening. </b>The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount. With this Moon placement we can feel already the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Monday late evening).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:52am EDT.<strong> We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday afternoon (May 5th) on, it will remain strong until this Wednesday afternoon (May 9th). </strong>This aspect creates some tension in our lives.

We are being asked to<b> </b>find creative solutions and be completely honest with ourselves and others. The best way to achieve this is by the continual practice of self-care and self-nurturing.\r\n\r\nWe have tremendous focus and drive right now, which can tip into obsession. With this aspect an all-or-nothing attitude is very likely. Choose love over fear whenever possible. Not many people enjoy being second-guessed all the time, yet that is something that we are inclined to do now.\r\n\r\nHowever, our determination to get to the bottom of any matter, to rip away falsehoods and expose true motives, can be used for good if we employ it in our work, for example, in regards to investigations or research. This is an opportunity to learn to harness our intense mental energy and apply it productively. We are also capable of very hard work, focus and effort now.\r\n\r\nWe have a great love of debate, but should be careful that we don\'t overpower others with our strong opinions, attempting to \"convert\" them to our frame of mind, or treat regular exchanges of opinion as battlegrounds. Connect to yourself and others, empowering yourself/them with what you feel passionate about.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nChoose your words/thoughts carefully, from a deeply connected and empowered place rather than from a place of fear, self-protection or a need for survival.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>18-24 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

As best as you can, be compassionate with yourself and others during these 5 days -- it might also help to know that relationships and endeavors of a spiritual or artistic nature can move forward at this time. </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>13-19 degrees</em></i></span><span class=\"s1\"><i> of</i> <b><i>Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

With the last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us to take a look at what needs to be completed. What -- if anything -- needs last-minute adjustments? What did you discover since April 15th? What did it mean for you? What actions could shift the things you seeded or started in mid-late April?</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">As best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).</span></p>\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>15-20 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Aquarius, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>?

As best as you can, expand your perspectives about intimate relationships, other people\'s resources and be open to bringing some optimism to those areas of your life. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The urge to grow and expand is strong, but we might overreach -- and hasty actions could backfire. As best as you can, don’t expect too much from others or yourself; avoid over-promising, and create deeper connections whenever you can. Use humor :-) </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Projects or ambitions may come to a culmination point, or undergo surprising changes; ask yourself: What insights am I receiving? Where can I go from here? What if I walked in their shoes, just for a moment?

We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">But... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.</span></p>\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 9th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive</em><strong><em> Pisces</em> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:36pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning (May 8th) on, it will remain strong until Thursday morning (May 10th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed in order to see what needs adjusting.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This aspect is a fork in the road. We could take the path of learning about inner dialog and sharing ourselves with others by being open and curious -- or, we could take the path that leads to increased understanding of intimacy and resources that are shared with others. </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Either way, we can develop a new perspective on how to approach these things. Awareness is key with this aspect: What is needed? How can we serve the broader view?</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>17-19 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>?

This aspect also brings an intensity and a depth to our conscious awareness; therefore this is also a great time to transform our lives, stripping away anything -- even people -- that no longer connect with who we are. </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Ask yourself: How can I live more authentically? Is there anything holding me back? What fears and attachments could I release now, that no longer serve my evolution? Am I willing to let them go, just for now, and just as best as I can?</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>18-24 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn</i></b><i> or <b>Virgo</b></i><i>?

We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our intuition.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes. This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom?

We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice… so we need to develop inner awareness.</span><span class=\"s2\"> </span>\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Fear of disappointment is causing some tension. Our inner need for growth requires honesty about what is causing those fears -- most likely our own lack of good boundaries and self-esteem. Watch out for getting pulled into overly burdensome roles in other people\'s lives, because you feel it is required of you, this can often be a path into \"control issues\". </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">As best as you can, carefully examine your motivations and self-image: How do you feel about your ability to communicate, share yourself and connect on a deep emotional level? What role does fear play in all of this?</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p5\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>20-22 degrees </em></i></span><span class=\"s1\"><i>of</i><b><i> Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>?

This is a chance to have some discussions that have been overdue. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">As best as you can, make it a productive discussion that serves you and others -- a win-win -- otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards. Also, watch out on the road for some crazy drivers… rushing might not necessarily get you there faster ;-) </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p4\"><span class=\"s3\"><i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets)<span class=\"s1\">in the following: 25-29 </span><span class=\"s2\">degrees</span><span class=\"s1\"> of<strong> Aries, </strong><strong>Capricorn</strong>,<strong> Libra, Cancer,</strong> or 0-1 degree of <b>Taurus, Aquarius, Scorpio </b>or<b> Leo</b>?</span></i></span><span class=\"s3\"><i> </i></span><span class=\"s2\"><i>If so, you may feel more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries)</i></span><i></i></p>\r\nAlso on <strong>Saturday, </strong><em>Mars enters its 6.5-week shadow phase, when it reaches 28.5 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong>. </em><span class=\"s1\">This precedes the retrograde phase, which will begin on June 26th in 9 degrees of <b>Aquarius</b> (more on that in 6 weeks).</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">So what is the \"shadow phase\"? To explain this, I\'ll quickly cover what happens when a planet \"stations\" and then goes “retrograde\".</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Relative to us on Earth, a planet sometimes looks like it is slowing down (\"stationing\"), then stopping. After being still for a while, it actually appears to go \"backward\" through the sky (this is the \"retrograde\" phase). It\'s a little like catching up to a car on the highway, driving exactly alongside it for a moment, then passing it and pulling ahead.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">At first, retrograde movement is slow, but the planet gradually reaches its normal pace through the sky -- except it\'s going backward. The process then reverses itself: the backward pace slows, the planet crawls to a \"halt\", then it starts to move forward again (i.e. it goes direct). In our car analogy, it\'s like the car you just passed gradually speeds up and passes you again.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">There are also two \"shadow\" phases -- during these, the planet travels over a part of the sky it will later \"revisit\". The first \"shadow\" comes before the planet moves backward; the second comes when the planet starts to catch back up (after going direct).</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It\'s like you went hiking and left something behind at camp. If you went back to get it, you\'d have some catching up to do, and would see the same scenery twice or more. </span><span class=\"s1\">Mars\'s shadow phases usually last 6-7 weeks before and after the Retrograde phase. Pay attention to what you do or pursue during this time; you may need to revisit or redo them during the Retrograde phase.</span></p>\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 13th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced</em> <strong>Aries until 2:15 EDT</strong> (see Friday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Uranus alignment in 29 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> becomes exact at 6:50am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday morning (May 11th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Tuesday (May 5th).  </strong><span class=\"s1\">With this alignment, an important insight is coming through, something new is preparing to enter consciousness – and we are getting the urge to move forward. We might experience some really unusual conversations. Our mind could be flooded with new information and ideas, and we most likely feel enthusiastic and excited by these fresh ideas and insights. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It\'s a time when we could achieve real breakthroughs in the form of ideas, communications, and the mind in general — but coupled with the possibility of edginess and impatience toward those who don’t “get” our new insights. Nervousness, impulsivity and fidgeting could be a by-product of this alignment as well. </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Computers and electronics may suddenly become important. We\'ll likely have flashes of insight into our own mental workings, original thoughts, etc. As best as you can, and as much as you want to, stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body.

Mars enters its shadow phase on Saturday, and Mercury changes signs from Aries to Taurus on Sunday.\r\n\r\nThere will be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: Tuesday late evening (for almost 1 hour), Friday early morning (for a little over 3.5 hours), and Sunday afternoon (for 10 minutes).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (May 7th)</strong>:<em> the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking</em> <strong><em>Aquarius</em> all day</strong>. It will journey there <b>until Tuesday late evening. </b>The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount. With this Moon placement we can feel already the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Monday late evening).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:52am EDT.<strong> We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday afternoon (May 5th) on, it will remain strong until this Wednesday afternoon (May 9th). </strong>This aspect creates some tension in our lives.

We are being asked to<b> </b>find creative solutions and be completely honest with ourselves and others. The best way to achieve this is by the continual practice of self-care and self-nurturing.\r\n\r\nWe have tremendous focus and drive right now, which can tip into obsession. With this aspect an all-or-nothing attitude is very likely. Choose love over fear whenever possible. Not many people enjoy being second-guessed all the time, yet that is something that we are inclined to do now.\r\n\r\nHowever, our determination to get to the bottom of any matter, to rip away falsehoods and expose true motives, can be used for good if we employ it in our work, for example, in regards to investigations or research. This is an opportunity to learn to harness our intense mental energy and apply it productively. We are also capable of very hard work, focus and effort now.\r\n\r\nWe have a great love of debate, but should be careful that we don\'t overpower others with our strong opinions, attempting to \"convert\" them to our frame of mind, or treat regular exchanges of opinion as battlegrounds. Connect to yourself and others, empowering yourself/them with what you feel passionate about.\r\n\r\nChoose your words/thoughts carefully, from a deeply connected and empowered place rather than from a place of fear, self-protection or a need for survival.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>18-24 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early evening</strong>, a challenging Venus/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 5:58pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday morning (May 5th) on, it will remain strong until this Thursday morning (May 10th).</strong> We can be confused, unrealistic, or overly idealistic around love and money -- so it\'s best to wait until the transit is over, before making big moves in these areas -- if you make long-term financial investments, buy or sell big-ticket items, or start brand-new relationships, it\'s likely you will not see things as they truly are.\r\n\r\nWe are actually being asked to have faith; to let our intuition guide us in money and love -- if we are able to do this, we will grow through it. As best as you can, be compassionate with yourself and others during these 5 days -- it might also help to know that relationships and endeavors of a spiritual or artistic nature can move forward at this time.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>13-19 degrees</em></i></span><span class=\"s1\"><i> of</i> <b><i>Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

The Moon in <strong>Aquarius</strong> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in <strong>Taurus</strong>. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Aquarius last Sunday morning (May 6th). </strong><span class=\"s2\"><i> </i>This may bring challenges; however, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.</span>\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to May 15th\'s New Moon in <strong>Taurus</strong>. With the last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us to take a look at what needs to be completed. What -- if anything -- needs last-minute adjustments? What did you discover since April 15th? What did it mean for you? What actions could shift the things you seeded or started in mid-late April?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 15-20 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Aquarius, Leo </strong>or<strong> Scorpio</strong>? If so, you will feel this month\'s last Quarter Moon quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in <strong>Leo </strong>or<strong> Cancer</strong> (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (May 8th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking</em> <strong><em>Aquarius</em> until 11:11pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for more details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late evening</strong>, <em>a Sun/Jupiter opposition</em> becomes exact at 8:39pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday morning (May 5th) on, it will remain strong until this Friday evening (May 11th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This aspect can bring an opportunity to open up our consciousness through other people. As best as you can, expand your perspectives about intimate relationships, other people\'s resources and be open to bringing some optimism to those areas of your life.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The urge to grow and expand is strong, but we might overreach -- and hasty actions could backfire. As best as you can, don’t expect too much from others or yourself; avoid over-promising, and create deeper connections whenever you can. Use humor :-)</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Projects or ambitions may come to a culmination point, or undergo surprising changes; ask yourself: What insights am I receiving? Where can I go from here? What if I walked in their shoes, just for a moment? Where would I walk to? </span></p>\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in<em>15-22 degrees</em> of <b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more affected by this opposition.This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 10:29pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for almost an hour, <strong>until 11:11pm EDT</strong>. <span class=\"s1\">Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.</span>\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC,</a> as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday late evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 11:11pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters creative, sensitive <strong>Pisces</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Friday morning. </strong><span class=\"s1\">This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.</span>\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 9th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive</em><strong><em> Pisces</em> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:36pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning (May 8th) on, it will remain strong until Thursday morning (May 10th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed in order to see what needs adjusting.</span>\r\n\r\nThis aspect is a fork in the road. We could take the path of learning about inner dialog and sharing ourselves with others by being open and curious -- or, we could take the path that leads to increased understanding of intimacy and resources that are shared with others.\r\n\r\nEither way, we can develop a new perspective on how to approach these things. Awareness is key with this aspect: What is needed? How can we serve the broader view?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>17-19 degrees</em> of <b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (May 10th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive</em> <strong>Pisces all day</strong> (see Tuesday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early morning,</strong> <span class=\"s1\">we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours.</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday late morning,</strong> a nice feeling of ease and an ability to trust and connect deeply with others. As best as you can, trust your intuitive sensing right now, allow whatever comes up to be beneficial for you.\r\n\r\nThursday early afternoon: we feel a need to go within -- and also want to connect and learn from others. This tension clearly invites us to stretch a little and resolve it through creative solutions -- the key here is to listen to our intuition, so we don\'t drive ourselves or others crazy.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Thursday afternoon: </strong>we get an opportunity to be very present; also to connect with others and share practical advice, or simply enjoy \"the good things in life\". As best as you can, bring a sense of flow and faith to who you are being, and allow yourself to slow down and connect with nature.</span></p>\r\nThursday late afternoon, we have the opportunity to be guided by inspiration, and fully commit to a project or task that might serve us long-term. As best as you can, listen and trust to the subtle messages in your heart, that stir you towards success.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (May 11th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive</em> <strong>Pisces</strong> <strong>until 8:40am EDT</strong> (see Tuesday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 5:02am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for a little over 3.5 hours, <strong>until 8:40am EDT. </strong><span class=\"s1\">If you are awake during this intuitive time, take the opportunity to go within and listen to your subtle intuitive \"voice\" -- your heart -- then focus anew on your long-term goals.</span>\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday early morning and morning ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 8:40am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters pioneering, fast-paced <strong>Aries</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday afternoon</strong>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday evening</strong>, <em>a harmonious Sun/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 7:10pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning (May 8th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening (May 14th). This aspect brings a sense of focus and empowerment to our long-term goals. We have the ability to look at everything in a very down-to-earth manner right now; through our understanding of \"what is and what is not\", we can make more powerful choices.</strong>\r\n\r\nWe can also deepen our understanding of our own motivations and look closely at where we are heading. This aspect also brings an intensity and a depth to our conscious awareness; therefore this is also a great time to transform our lives, stripping away anything -- even people -- that no longer connect with who we are.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How can I live more authentically? Is there anything holding me back? What fears and attachments could I release now, that no longer serve my evolution? Am I willing to let them go, just for now, and just as best as I can?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>18-24 degrees</em> of <b><i>Taurus, Capricorn</i></b><i> or <b>Virgo</b></i><i>? If so, you will be even more blessed by this aspect than those who do not; this is also true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (the Sun being the ruler of Leo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late evening, </strong><em>the Balsamic Moon phase begins, when the Moon reaches 9.5 degrees of <strong>Aries. </strong></em><span class=\"s1\">This lasts <b>until Tuesday morning</b>, when the New Moon in <b>Taurus </b>becomes exact (for those of you who are impatiently waiting for my New Moon video, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"><span class=\"s2\">click here</span></a> after May 10th). We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our intuition.</span>\r\n\r\nFor some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes. This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday night</strong> (Saturday very early morning), <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:05am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening (May 10th) on, it will remain strong until Saturday evening (May 12th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice… so we need to develop inner awareness.</span>\r\n\r\nFear of disappointment is causing some tension. Our inner need for growth requires honesty about what is causing those fears -- most likely our own lack of good boundaries and self-esteem. Watch out for getting pulled into overly burdensome roles in other people\'s lives, because you feel it is required of you, this can often be a path into \"control issues\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, carefully examine your motivations and self-image: How do you feel about your ability to communicate, share yourself and connect on a deep emotional level? What role does fear play in all of this?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>20-22 degrees Gemini <i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i></em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (May 12th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced</em> <strong>Aries</strong> <strong>all day</strong> (see Friday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday late morning</strong>,<em> a challenging Mercury/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 9:30am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday (May 10th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening (May 14th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">Due to the recent Mercury Retrograde phase, we get to experience this aspect several times; this is the third and last pass within the last 10 weeks. </span>\r\n\r\n<span class=\"s1\">This gives us a chance to address our approach toward any misunderstandings. </span><span class=\"s1\">This aspect<i> </i></span><span class=\"s2\">brings some juicy energy to our conversations. This is a chance to have some discussions that have been overdue. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">As best as you can, make it a productive discussion that serves you and others -- a win-win -- otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards. Also, watch out on the road for some crazy drivers… rushing might not necessarily get you there faster ;-) </span></p>\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in the following: 25-29 degrees of<strong> Aries, </strong><strong>Capricorn</strong>,<strong> Libra, Cancer,</strong> or 0-1 degree of <b>Taurus, Aquarius, Scorpio </b>or<b> Leo</b>?<span class=\"s3\"><i> </i></span><span class=\"s2\"><i>If so, you may feel more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries)</i></span>\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Saturday, </strong><em>Mars enters its 6.5-week shadow phase, when it reaches 28.5 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong>. </em><span class=\"s1\">This precedes the retrograde phase, which will begin on June 26th in 9 degrees of <b>Aquarius</b> (more on that in 6 weeks).</span>\r\n\r\nSo what is the \"shadow phase\"? To explain this, I\'ll quickly cover what happens when a planet \"stations\" and then goes “retrograde\".\r\n\r\nRelative to us on Earth, a planet sometimes looks like it is slowing down (\"stationing\"), then stopping. After being still for a while, it actually appears to go \"backward\" through the sky (this is the \"retrograde\" phase). It\'s a little like catching up to a car on the highway, driving exactly alongside it for a moment, then passing it and pulling ahead.\r\n\r\nAt first, retrograde movement is slow, but the planet gradually reaches its normal pace through the sky -- except it\'s going backward. The process then reverses itself: the backward pace slows, the planet crawls to a \"halt\", then it starts to move forward again (i.e. it goes direct). In our car analogy, it\'s like the car you just passed gradually speeds up and passes you again.\r\n\r\nThere are also two \"shadow\" phases -- during these, the planet travels over a part of the sky it will later \"revisit\". The first \"shadow\" comes before the planet moves backward; the second comes when the planet starts to catch back up (after going direct).\r\n\r\nIt\'s like you went hiking and left something behind at camp. If you went back to get it, you\'d have some catching up to do, and would see the same scenery twice or more. Mars\'s shadow phases usually last 6-7 weeks before and after the Retrograde phase. Pay attention to what you do or pursue during this time; you may need to revisit or redo them during the Retrograde phase.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 13th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced</em> <strong>Aries until 2:15 EDT</strong> (see Friday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Uranus alignment in 29 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> becomes exact at 6:50am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday morning (May 11th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Tuesday (May 5th).  </strong><span class=\"s1\">With this alignment, an important insight is coming through, something new is preparing to enter consciousness – and we are getting the urge to move forward. We might experience some really unusual conversations. Our mind could be flooded with new information and ideas, and we most likely feel enthusiastic and excited by these fresh ideas and insights.</span>\r\n\r\nIt\'s a time when we could achieve real breakthroughs in the form of ideas, communications, and the mind in general — but coupled with the possibility of edginess and impatience toward those who don’t “get” our new insights. Nervousness, impulsivity and fidgeting could be a by-product of this alignment as well.\r\n\r\nComputers and electronics may suddenly become important. We\'ll likely have flashes of insight into our own mental workings, original thoughts, etc. As best as you can, and as much as you want to, stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body. That way, all that energy can move through you, without shaking you to the core ;-)\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 27-29 degrees of <b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn, </i></b><i>or 0-3 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </strong>or<strong> Aquarius</strong></i><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>  (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Uranus rules Aquarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 8:40am EDT</strong>, Mercury changes signs from<i> </i><span class=\"s1\"><i>enthusiastic, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> to steady, peaceful </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where it will journey<b> until <strong>May 29th</strong></b>.<b> For the next 3 weeks</b>, our thinking shifts gears: we want to connect to others in a realistic, down-to-earth way and we \"say it like it is\". We appreciate common sense; we rely on our senses when it comes to processing information.</span>\r\n\r\nA well-developed sense of color, smell, and touch are characteristic of this Mercury position, so as long as Mercury is in Taurus, we will be drawn towards the \"tasteful\" in the realm of the five senses. We are more likely to have a no-nonsense approach to decision-making, and our ideas are often very practical and useful at this time.\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to learning, we prefer demonstrations, concrete answers, and basic concepts for the next 3 weeks. We learn best when we see real-world uses for the theories we are trying to absorb. We simply process information better when we can personalize it (\"what use is it to me?\") and attach it to the practical world.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in <b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more talkative during this time. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you may need to slow down and “smell the roses” ;-)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 2:05pm EDT</strong>, we enter a brief <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 10 minutes, <strong>until 2:15pm EDT</strong>. <span class=\"s1\">Use this intuitive time to connect with people that can enthusiastically support your projects and share with them what you have going on.</span>\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

If you\'d like to learn how these major two planetary shifts might impact you personally, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/chiron-in-aries-uranus-in-taurus-until-2026-15-minute-excerpt/\">you may want to catch this free 15-min excerpt… from my recent Forum...</a>\r\n<blockquote><i>“</i><i>SUPER-GREAT Forum Sonja - I learned sooo much - can\'t wait to re-listen - thank you!!!”</i><i> </i>— Mary Beth W.</blockquote>\r\nTo watch the whole 120 min. webinar... <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">click here</a>\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: the last Quarter Moon in Aquarius becomes exact on Monday and the Balsamic Moon phase begins Friday. Mars enters its shadow phase on Saturday, and Mercury changes signs from Aries to Taurus on Sunday.\r\n\r\nThere will be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: Tuesday late evening (for almost 1 hour), Friday early morning (for a little over 3.5 hours), and Sunday afternoon (for 10 minutes).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (May 7th)</strong>:<em> the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking</em> <strong><em>Aquarius</em> all day</strong>. It will journey there <b>until Tuesday late evening. </b>The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount. With this Moon placement we can feel already the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Monday late evening).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:52am EDT.<strong> We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday afternoon (May 5th) on, it will remain strong until this Wednesday afternoon (May 9th). </strong>This aspect creates some tension in our lives.

We are being asked to<b> </b>find creative solutions and be completely honest with ourselves and others. The best way to achieve this is by the continual practice of self-care and self-nurturing.\r\n\r\nWe have tremendous focus and drive right now, which can tip into obsession. With this aspect an all-or-nothing attitude is very likely. Choose love over fear whenever possible. Not many people enjoy being second-guessed all the time, yet that is something that we are inclined to do now.\r\n\r\nHowever, our determination to get to the bottom of any matter, to rip away falsehoods and expose true motives, can be used for good if we employ it in our work, for example, in regards to investigations or research. This is an opportunity to learn to harness our intense mental energy and apply it productively. We are also capable of very hard work, focus and effort now.\r\n\r\nWe have a great love of debate, but should be careful that we don\'t overpower others with our strong opinions, attempting to \"convert\" them to our frame of mind, or treat regular exchanges of opinion as battlegrounds. Connect to yourself and others, empowering yourself/them with what you feel passionate about.\r\n\r\nChoose your words/thoughts carefully, from a deeply connected and empowered place rather than from a place of fear, self-protection or a need for survival.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>18-24 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early evening</strong>, a challenging Venus/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 5:58pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday morning (May 5th) on, it will remain strong until this Thursday morning (May 10th).</strong> We can be confused, unrealistic, or overly idealistic around love and money -- so it\'s best to wait until the transit is over, before making big moves in these areas -- if you make long-term financial investments, buy or sell big-ticket items, or start brand-new relationships, it\'s likely you will not see things as they truly are.\r\n\r\nWe are actually being asked to have faith; to let our intuition guide us in money and love -- if we are able to do this, we will grow through it. As best as you can, be compassionate with yourself and others during these 5 days -- it might also help to know that relationships and endeavors of a spiritual or artistic nature can move forward at this time.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>13-19 degrees</em><span class=\"s1\"><i> of</i> <b><i>Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune rules Pisces).</i></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 10:09pm EDT</strong>, <em>the last Quarter Moon in 17.5 degrees of <strong>Aquarius</strong></em> becomes exact. The Moon in <strong>Aquarius</strong> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in <strong>Taurus</strong>. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Aquarius last Sunday morning (May 6th). </strong><span class=\"s2\"><i> </i>This may bring challenges; however, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.</span>\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to May 15th\'s New Moon in <strong>Taurus</strong>. With the last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us to take a look at what needs to be completed. What -- if anything -- needs last-minute adjustments? What did you discover since April 15th? What did it mean for you? What actions could shift the things you seeded or started in mid-late April?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 15-20 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Aquarius, Leo </strong>or<strong> Scorpio</strong>? If so, you will feel this month\'s last Quarter Moon quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in <strong>Leo </strong>or<strong> Cancer</strong> (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (May 8th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking</em> <strong><em>Aquarius</em> until 11:11pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for more details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late evening</strong>, <em>a Sun/Jupiter opposition</em> becomes exact at 8:39pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday morning (May 5th) on, it will remain strong until this Friday evening (May 11th). </strong> This aspect can bring an opportunity to open up our consciousness through other people. As best as you can, expand your perspectives about intimate relationships, other people\'s resources and be open to bringing some optimism to those areas of your life.\r\n\r\nThe urge to grow and expand is strong, but we might overreach -- and hasty actions could backfire. As best as you can, don’t expect too much from others or yourself; avoid over-promising, and create deeper connections whenever you can. Use humor :-)\r\n\r\nProjects or ambitions may come to a culmination point, or undergo surprising changes; ask yourself: What insights am I receiving? Where can I go from here? What if I walked in their shoes, just for a moment? Where would I walk to?\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in 15-22 degrees</em> of <b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more affected by this opposition.This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 10:29pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for almost an hour, <strong>until 11:11pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC,</a> as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday late evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 11:11pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters creative, sensitive <strong>Pisces</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Friday morning. </strong> This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 9th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive</em><strong><em> Pisces</em> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:36pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning (May 8th) on, it will remain strong until Thursday morning (May 10th). </strong>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed in order to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\nThis aspect is a fork in the road. We could take the path of learning about inner dialog and sharing ourselves with others by being open and curious -- or, we could take the path that leads to increased understanding of intimacy and resources that are shared with others.\r\n\r\nEither way, we can develop a new perspective on how to approach these things. Awareness is key with this aspect: What is needed? How can we serve the broader view?\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-19 degrees of <b>Gemini </b>or<b> Scorpio</b>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in<b> Taurus, Libra </b>or <b>Sagittarius</b> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (May 10th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive</em> <strong>Pisces all day</strong> (see Tuesday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early morning,</strong> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday late morning,</strong> a nice feeling of ease and an ability to trust and connect deeply with others. As best as you can, trust your intuitive sensing right now, allow whatever comes up to be beneficial for you.\r\n\r\nThursday early afternoon: we feel a need to go within -- and also want to connect and learn from others. This tension clearly invites us to stretch a little and resolve it through creative solutions -- the key here is to listen to our intuition, so we don\'t drive ourselves or others crazy.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday afternoon: </strong>we get an opportunity to be very present; also to connect with others and share practical advice, or simply enjoy \"the good things in life\". As best as you can, bring a sense of flow and faith to who you are being, and allow yourself to slow down and connect with nature.\r\n\r\nThursday late afternoon, we have the opportunity to be guided by inspiration, and fully commit to a project or task that might serve us long-term. As best as you can, listen and trust to the subtle messages in your heart, that stir you towards success.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (May 11th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive</em> <strong>Pisces</strong> <strong>until 8:40am EDT</strong> (see Tuesday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 5:02am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for a little over 3.5 hours, <strong>until 8:40am EDT. </strong><span class=\"s1\">If you are awake during this intuitive time, take the opportunity to go within and listen to your subtle intuitive \"voice\" -- your heart -- then focus anew on your long-term goals.</span>\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday morning ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 8:40am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters pioneering, fast-paced <strong>Aries,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday afternoon</strong>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday evening</strong>, <em>a harmonious Sun/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 7:10pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning (May 8th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening (May 14th). </strong>This aspect brings a sense of focus and empowerment to our long-term goals. We have the ability to look at everything in a very down-to-earth manner right now; through our understanding of \"what is and what is not\", we can make more powerful choices.\r\n\r\nWe can also deepen our understanding of our own motivations and look closely at where we are heading. This aspect also brings an intensity and a depth to our conscious awareness; therefore this is also a great time to transform our lives, stripping away anything -- even people -- that no longer connect with who we are.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How can I live more authentically? Is there anything holding me back? What fears and attachments could I release now, that no longer serve my evolution? Am I willing to let them go, just for now, and just as best as I can?\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of <b>Taurus, Capricorn</b> or <b>Virgo</b>? If so, you will be even more blessed by this aspect than those who do not; this is also true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in <b>Leo </b>or <b>Scorpio</b> (the Sun being the ruler of Leo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late evening, </strong><em>the Balsamic Moon phase begins, when the Moon reaches 9.5 degrees of <strong>Aries. </strong> This lasts <b>until Tuesday morning</b>, when the New Moon in <b>Taurus </b>becomes exact (for those of you who are impatiently waiting for my New Moon video, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here</a> after May 10th). We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our intuition.</em>\r\n\r\nFor some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes. This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday night</strong> (Saturday very early morning), <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:05am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening (May 10th) on, it will remain strong until Saturday evening (May 12th). </strong>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice… so we need to develop inner awareness.\r\n\r\nFear of disappointment is causing some tension. Our inner need for growth requires honesty about what is causing those fears -- most likely our own lack of good boundaries and self-esteem. Watch out for getting pulled into overly burdensome roles in other people\'s lives, because you feel it is required of you, this can often be a path into \"control issues\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, carefully examine your motivations and self-image: How do you feel about your ability to communicate, share yourself and connect on a deep emotional level? What role does fear play in all of this?\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-22 degrees Gemini or<b> Capricorn</b>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in <b>Taurus, Libra </b>or <b>Scorpio</b> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (May 12th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced</em> <strong>Aries</strong> <strong>all day</strong> (see Friday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday late morning</strong>,<em> a challenging Mercury/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 9:30am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday (May 10th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening (May 14th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">Due to the recent Mercury Retrograde phase, we get to experience this aspect several times; this is the third and last pass within the last 10 weeks. </span>\r\n\r\n<span class=\"s1\">This gives us a chance to address our approach toward any misunderstandings. </span><span class=\"s1\">This aspect<i> </i></span><span class=\"s2\">brings some juicy energy to our conversations. This is a chance to have some discussions that have been overdue. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">As best as you can, make it a productive discussion that serves you and others -- a win-win -- otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards. Also, watch out on the road for some crazy drivers… rushing might not necessarily get you there faster ;-) </span></p>\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in the following: 25-29 degrees of<strong> Aries, </strong><strong>Capricorn</strong>,<strong> Libra, Cancer,</strong> or 0-1 degree of <b>Taurus, Aquarius, Scorpio </b>or<b> Leo</b>?<span class=\"s3\"><i> </i></span><span class=\"s2\"><i>If so, you may feel more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries)</i></span>\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Saturday, </strong><em>Mars enters its 6.5-week shadow phase, when it reaches 28.5 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong>. </em><span class=\"s1\">This precedes the retrograde phase, which will begin on June 26th in 9 degrees of <b>Aquarius</b> (more on that in 6 weeks).</span>\r\n\r\nSo what is the \"shadow phase\"? To explain this, I\'ll quickly cover what happens when a planet \"stations\" and then goes “retrograde\".\r\n\r\nRelative to us on Earth, a planet sometimes looks like it is slowing down (\"stationing\"), then stopping. After being still for a while, it actually appears to go \"backward\" through the sky (this is the \"retrograde\" phase). It\'s a little like catching up to a car on the highway, driving exactly alongside it for a moment, then passing it and pulling ahead.\r\n\r\nAt first, retrograde movement is slow, but the planet gradually reaches its normal pace through the sky -- except it\'s going backward. The process then reverses itself: the backward pace slows, the planet crawls to a \"halt\", then it starts to move forward again (i.e. it goes direct). In our car analogy, it\'s like the car you just passed gradually speeds up and passes you again.\r\n\r\nThere are also two \"shadow\" phases -- during these, the planet travels over a part of the sky it will later \"revisit\". The first \"shadow\" comes before the planet moves backward; the second comes when the planet starts to catch back up (after going direct).\r\n\r\nIt\'s like you went hiking and left something behind at camp. If you went back to get it, you\'d have some catching up to do, and would see the same scenery twice or more. Mars\'s shadow phases usually last 6-7 weeks before and after the Retrograde phase. Pay attention to what you do or pursue during this time; you may need to revisit or redo them during the Retrograde phase.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 13th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced</em> <strong>Aries until 2:15 EDT</strong> (see Friday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Uranus alignment in 29 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> becomes exact at 6:50am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday morning (May 11th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Tuesday (May 5th).  </strong><span class=\"s1\">With this alignment, an important insight is coming through, something new is preparing to enter consciousness – and we are getting the urge to move forward. We might experience some really unusual conversations. Our mind could be flooded with new information and ideas, and we most likely feel enthusiastic and excited by these fresh ideas and insights.</span>\r\n\r\nIt\'s a time when we could achieve real breakthroughs in the form of ideas, communications, and the mind in general — but coupled with the possibility of edginess and impatience toward those who don’t “get” our new insights. Nervousness, impulsivity and fidgeting could be a by-product of this alignment as well.\r\n\r\nComputers and electronics may suddenly become important. We\'ll likely have flashes of insight into our own mental workings, original thoughts, etc. As best as you can, and as much as you want to, stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body. That way, all that energy can move through you, without shaking you to the core ;-)\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 26-29 degrees of <b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn, </i></b><i>or 0-2 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </strong>or<strong> Aquarius</strong></i><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>  (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Uranus rules Aquarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 8:40am EDT</strong>, Mercury changes signs from<i> </i><span class=\"s1\"><i>enthusiastic, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> to steady, peaceful </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where it will journey<b> until <strong>May 29th</strong></b>.<b> For the next 3 weeks</b>, our thinking shifts gears: we want to connect to others in a realistic, down-to-earth way and we \"say it like it is\". We appreciate common sense; we rely on our senses when it comes to processing information.</span>\r\n\r\nA well-developed sense of color, smell, and touch are characteristic of this Mercury position, so as long as Mercury is in Taurus, we will be drawn towards the \"tasteful\" in the realm of the five senses. We are more likely to have a no-nonsense approach to decision-making, and our ideas are often very practical and useful at this time.\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to learning, we prefer demonstrations, concrete answers, and basic concepts for the next 3 weeks. We learn best when we see real-world uses for the theories we are trying to absorb. We simply process information better when we can personalize it (\"what use is it to me?\") and attach it to the practical world.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in <b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more talkative during this time. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>?

Mars enters its shadow phase on Saturday, and Mercury changes signs from Aries to Taurus on Sunday.\r\n\r\nThere will be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: Tuesday late evening (for almost 1 hour), Friday early morning (for a little over 3.5 hours), and Sunday afternoon (for 10 minutes).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (May 7th)</strong>:<em> the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking</em> <strong><em>Aquarius</em> all day</strong>. It will journey there <b>until Tuesday late evening. </b>The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount. With this Moon placement we can feel already the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Monday late evening).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:52am EDT.<strong> We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday afternoon (May 5th) on, it will remain strong until this Wednesday afternoon (May 9th). </strong>This aspect creates some tension in our lives.

We are being asked to<b> </b>find creative solutions and be completely honest with ourselves and others. The best way to achieve this is by the continual practice of self-care and self-nurturing.\r\n\r\nWe have tremendous focus and drive right now, which can tip into obsession. With this aspect an all-or-nothing attitude is very likely. Choose love over fear whenever possible. Not many people enjoy being second-guessed all the time, yet that is something that we are inclined to do now.\r\n\r\nHowever, our determination to get to the bottom of any matter, to rip away falsehoods and expose true motives, can be used for good if we employ it in our work, for example, in regards to investigations or research. This is an opportunity to learn to harness our intense mental energy and apply it productively. We are also capable of very hard work, focus and effort now.\r\n\r\nWe have a great love of debate, but should be careful that we don\'t overpower others with our strong opinions, attempting to \"convert\" them to our frame of mind, or treat regular exchanges of opinion as battlegrounds. Connect to yourself and others, empowering yourself/them with what you feel passionate about.\r\n\r\nChoose your words/thoughts carefully, from a deeply connected and empowered place rather than from a place of fear, self-protection or a need for survival.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>18-24 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early evening</strong>, a challenging Venus/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 5:58pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday morning (May 5th) on, it will remain strong until this Thursday morning (May 10th).</strong> We can be confused, unrealistic, or overly idealistic around love and money -- so it\'s best to wait until the transit is over, before making big moves in these areas -- if you make long-term financial investments, buy or sell big-ticket items, or start brand-new relationships, it\'s likely you will not see things as they truly are.\r\n\r\nWe are actually being asked to have faith; to let our intuition guide us in money and love -- if we are able to do this, we will grow through it. As best as you can, be compassionate with yourself and others during these 5 days -- it might also help to know that relationships and endeavors of a spiritual or artistic nature can move forward at this time.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>13-19 degrees</em><span class=\"s1\"><i> of</i> <b><i>Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune rules Pisces).</i></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 10:09pm EDT</strong>, <em>the last Quarter Moon in 17.5 degrees of <strong>Aquarius</strong></em> becomes exact. The Moon in <strong>Aquarius</strong> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in <strong>Taurus</strong>. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Aquarius last Sunday morning (May 6th). </strong><span class=\"s2\"><i> </i>This may bring challenges; however, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.</span>\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to May 15th\'s New Moon in <strong>Taurus</strong>. With the last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us to take a look at what needs to be completed. What -- if anything -- needs last-minute adjustments? What did you discover since April 15th? What did it mean for you? What actions could shift the things you seeded or started in mid-late April?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 15-20 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Aquarius, Leo </strong>or<strong> Scorpio</strong>? If so, you will feel this month\'s last Quarter Moon quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in <strong>Leo </strong>or<strong> Cancer</strong> (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (May 8th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking</em> <strong><em>Aquarius</em> until 11:11pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for more details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late evening</strong>, <em>a Sun/Jupiter opposition</em> becomes exact at 8:39pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday morning (May 5th) on, it will remain strong until this Friday evening (May 11th). </strong> This aspect can bring an opportunity to open up our consciousness through other people. As best as you can, expand your perspectives about intimate relationships, other people\'s resources and be open to bringing some optimism to those areas of your life.\r\n\r\nThe urge to grow and expand is strong, but we might overreach -- and hasty actions could backfire. As best as you can, don’t expect too much from others or yourself; avoid over-promising, and create deeper connections whenever you can. Use humor :-)\r\n\r\nProjects or ambitions may come to a culmination point, or undergo surprising changes; ask yourself: What insights am I receiving? Where can I go from here? What if I walked in their shoes, just for a moment? Where would I walk to?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in<em>15-22 degrees</em> of <b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more affected by this opposition.This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 10:29pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for almost an hour, <strong>until 11:11pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC,</a> as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday late evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 11:11pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters creative, sensitive <strong>Pisces</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Friday morning. </strong> This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 9th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive</em><strong><em> Pisces</em> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:36pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning (May 8th) on, it will remain strong until Thursday morning (May 10th). </strong>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed in order to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\nThis aspect is a fork in the road. We could take the path of learning about inner dialog and sharing ourselves with others by being open and curious -- or, we could take the path that leads to increased understanding of intimacy and resources that are shared with others.\r\n\r\nEither way, we can develop a new perspective on how to approach these things. Awareness is key with this aspect: What is needed? How can we serve the broader view?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>17-19 degrees</em> of <b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (May 10th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive</em> <strong>Pisces all day</strong> (see Tuesday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early morning,</strong> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday late morning,</strong> a nice feeling of ease and an ability to trust and connect deeply with others. As best as you can, trust your intuitive sensing right now, allow whatever comes up to be beneficial for you.\r\n\r\nThursday early afternoon: we feel a need to go within -- and also want to connect and learn from others. This tension clearly invites us to stretch a little and resolve it through creative solutions -- the key here is to listen to our intuition, so we don\'t drive ourselves or others crazy.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday afternoon: </strong>we get an opportunity to be very present; also to connect with others and share practical advice, or simply enjoy \"the good things in life\". As best as you can, bring a sense of flow and faith to who you are being, and allow yourself to slow down and connect with nature.\r\n\r\nThursday late afternoon, we have the opportunity to be guided by inspiration, and fully commit to a project or task that might serve us long-term. As best as you can, listen and trust to the subtle messages in your heart, that stir you towards success.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (May 11th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive</em> <strong>Pisces</strong> <strong>until 8:40am EDT</strong> (see Tuesday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 5:02am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for a little over 3.5 hours, <strong>until 8:40am EDT. </strong><span class=\"s1\">If you are awake during this intuitive time, take the opportunity to go within and listen to your subtle intuitive \"voice\" -- your heart -- then focus anew on your long-term goals.</span>\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday morning ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 8:40am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters pioneering, fast-paced <strong>Aries,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday afternoon</strong>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday evening</strong>, <em>a harmonious Sun/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 7:10pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning (May 8th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening (May 14th). </strong>This aspect brings a sense of focus and empowerment to our long-term goals. We have the ability to look at everything in a very down-to-earth manner right now; through our understanding of \"what is and what is not\", we can make more powerful choices.\r\n\r\nWe can also deepen our understanding of our own motivations and look closely at where we are heading. This aspect also brings an intensity and a depth to our conscious awareness; therefore this is also a great time to transform our lives, stripping away anything -- even people -- that no longer connect with who we are.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How can I live more authentically? Is there anything holding me back? What fears and attachments could I release now, that no longer serve my evolution? Am I willing to let them go, just for now, and just as best as I can?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>18-24 degrees</em> of <b><i>Taurus, Capricorn</i></b><i> or <b>Virgo</b></i><i>? If so, you will be even more blessed by this aspect than those who do not; this is also true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (the Sun being the ruler of Leo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late evening, </strong><em>the Balsamic Moon phase begins, when the Moon reaches 9.5 degrees of <strong>Aries. </strong> This lasts <b>until Tuesday morning</b>, when the New Moon in <b>Taurus </b>becomes exact (for those of you who are impatiently waiting for my New Moon video, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here</a> after May 10th). We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our intuition.</em>\r\n\r\nFor some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes. This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday night</strong> (Saturday very early morning), <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:05am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening (May 10th) on, it will remain strong until Saturday evening (May 12th). </strong>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice… so we need to develop inner awareness.\r\n\r\nFear of disappointment is causing some tension. Our inner need for growth requires honesty about what is causing those fears -- most likely our own lack of good boundaries and self-esteem. Watch out for getting pulled into overly burdensome roles in other people\'s lives, because you feel it is required of you, this can often be a path into \"control issues\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, carefully examine your motivations and self-image: How do you feel about your ability to communicate, share yourself and connect on a deep emotional level? What role does fear play in all of this?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>20-22 degrees Gemini <i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i></em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (May 12th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced</em> <strong>Aries</strong> <strong>all day</strong> (see Friday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday late morning</strong>,<em> a challenging Mercury/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 9:30am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday (May 10th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening (May 14th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">Due to the recent Mercury Retrograde phase, we get to experience this aspect several times; this is the third and last pass within the last 10 weeks. </span>\r\n\r\n<span class=\"s1\">This gives us a chance to address our approach toward any misunderstandings. </span><span class=\"s1\">This aspect<i> </i></span><span class=\"s2\">brings some juicy energy to our conversations. This is a chance to have some discussions that have been overdue. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">As best as you can, make it a productive discussion that serves you and others -- a win-win -- otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards. Also, watch out on the road for some crazy drivers… rushing might not necessarily get you there faster ;-) </span></p>\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in the following: 25-29 degrees of<strong> Aries, </strong><strong>Capricorn</strong>,<strong> Libra, Cancer,</strong> or 0-1 degree of <b>Taurus, Aquarius, Scorpio </b>or<b> Leo</b>?<span class=\"s3\"><i> </i></span><span class=\"s2\"><i>If so, you may feel more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries)</i></span>\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Saturday, </strong><em>Mars enters its 6.5-week shadow phase, when it reaches 28.5 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong>. </em><span class=\"s1\">This precedes the retrograde phase, which will begin on June 26th in 9 degrees of <b>Aquarius</b> (more on that in 6 weeks).</span>\r\n\r\nSo what is the \"shadow phase\"? To explain this, I\'ll quickly cover what happens when a planet \"stations\" and then goes “retrograde\".\r\n\r\nRelative to us on Earth, a planet sometimes looks like it is slowing down (\"stationing\"), then stopping. After being still for a while, it actually appears to go \"backward\" through the sky (this is the \"retrograde\" phase). It\'s a little like catching up to a car on the highway, driving exactly alongside it for a moment, then passing it and pulling ahead.\r\n\r\nAt first, retrograde movement is slow, but the planet gradually reaches its normal pace through the sky -- except it\'s going backward. The process then reverses itself: the backward pace slows, the planet crawls to a \"halt\", then it starts to move forward again (i.e. it goes direct). In our car analogy, it\'s like the car you just passed gradually speeds up and passes you again.\r\n\r\nThere are also two \"shadow\" phases -- during these, the planet travels over a part of the sky it will later \"revisit\". The first \"shadow\" comes before the planet moves backward; the second comes when the planet starts to catch back up (after going direct).\r\n\r\nIt\'s like you went hiking and left something behind at camp. If you went back to get it, you\'d have some catching up to do, and would see the same scenery twice or more. Mars\'s shadow phases usually last 6-7 weeks before and after the Retrograde phase. Pay attention to what you do or pursue during this time; you may need to revisit or redo them during the Retrograde phase.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 13th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced</em> <strong>Aries until 2:15 EDT</strong> (see Friday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Uranus alignment in 29 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> becomes exact at 6:50am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday morning (May 11th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Tuesday (May 5th).  </strong><span class=\"s1\">With this alignment, an important insight is coming through, something new is preparing to enter consciousness – and we are getting the urge to move forward. We might experience some really unusual conversations. Our mind could be flooded with new information and ideas, and we most likely feel enthusiastic and excited by these fresh ideas and insights.</span>\r\n\r\nIt\'s a time when we could achieve real breakthroughs in the form of ideas, communications, and the mind in general — but coupled with the possibility of edginess and impatience toward those who don’t “get” our new insights. Nervousness, impulsivity and fidgeting could be a by-product of this alignment as well.\r\n\r\nComputers and electronics may suddenly become important. We\'ll likely have flashes of insight into our own mental workings, original thoughts, etc. As best as you can, and as much as you want to, stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body. That way, all that energy can move through you, without shaking you to the core ;-)\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 27-29 degrees of <b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn, </i></b><i>or 0-3 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </strong>or<strong> Aquarius</strong></i><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>  (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Uranus rules Aquarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 8:40am EDT</strong>, Mercury changes signs from<i> </i><span class=\"s1\"><i>enthusiastic, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> to steady, peaceful </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where it will journey<b> until <strong>May 29th</strong></b>.<b> For the next 3 weeks</b>, our thinking shifts gears: we want to connect to others in a realistic, down-to-earth way and we \"say it like it is\". We appreciate common sense; we rely on our senses when it comes to processing information.</span>\r\n\r\nA well-developed sense of color, smell, and touch are characteristic of this Mercury position, so as long as Mercury is in Taurus, we will be drawn towards the \"tasteful\" in the realm of the five senses. We are more likely to have a no-nonsense approach to decision-making, and our ideas are often very practical and useful at this time.\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to learning, we prefer demonstrations, concrete answers, and basic concepts for the next 3 weeks. We learn best when we see real-world uses for the theories we are trying to absorb. We simply process information better when we can personalize it (\"what use is it to me?\") and attach it to the practical world.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in <b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more talkative during this time. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you may need to slow down and “smell the roses” ;-)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 2:05pm EDT</strong>, we enter a brief <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 10 minutes, <strong>until 2:15pm EDT</strong>. <span class=\"s1\">Use this intuitive time to connect with people that can enthusiastically support your projects and share with them what you have going on. </span>As always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 2:15pm EDT</strong>,<em> the Moon enters steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Tuesday late afternoon</strong>. <span class=\"s1\">We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain.

Mars enters its shadow phase on Saturday, and Mercury changes signs from Aries to Taurus on Sunday.\r\n\r\nThere will be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: Tuesday late evening (for almost 1 hour), Friday early morning (for a little over 3.5 hours), and Sunday afternoon (for 10 minutes).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (May 7th)</strong>:<em> the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking</em> <strong><em>Aquarius</em> all day</strong>. It will journey there <b>until Tuesday late evening. </b>The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount. With this Moon placement we can feel already the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Monday late evening).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:52am EDT.<strong> We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday afternoon (May 5th) on, it will remain strong until this Wednesday afternoon (May 9th). </strong>This aspect creates some tension in our lives.

We are being asked to<b> </b>find creative solutions and be completely honest with ourselves and others. The best way to achieve this is by the continual practice of self-care and self-nurturing.\r\n\r\nWe have tremendous focus and drive right now, which can tip into obsession. With this aspect an all-or-nothing attitude is very likely. Choose love over fear whenever possible. Not many people enjoy being second-guessed all the time, yet that is something that we are inclined to do now.\r\n\r\nHowever, our determination to get to the bottom of any matter, to rip away falsehoods and expose true motives, can be used for good if we employ it in our work, for example, in regards to investigations or research. This is an opportunity to learn to harness our intense mental energy and apply it productively. We are also capable of very hard work, focus and effort now.\r\n\r\nWe have a great love of debate, but should be careful that we don\'t overpower others with our strong opinions, attempting to \"convert\" them to our frame of mind, or treat regular exchanges of opinion as battlegrounds. Connect to yourself and others, empowering yourself/them with what you feel passionate about.\r\n\r\nChoose your words/thoughts carefully, from a deeply connected and empowered place rather than from a place of fear, self-protection or a need for survival.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>18-24 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early evening</strong>, a challenging Venus/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 5:58pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday morning (May 5th) on, it will remain strong until this Thursday morning (May 10th).</strong> We can be confused, unrealistic, or overly idealistic around love and money -- so it\'s best to wait until the transit is over, before making big moves in these areas -- if you make long-term financial investments, buy or sell big-ticket items, or start brand-new relationships, it\'s likely you will not see things as they truly are.\r\n\r\nWe are actually being asked to have faith; to let our intuition guide us in money and love -- if we are able to do this, we will grow through it. As best as you can, be compassionate with yourself and others during these 5 days -- it might also help to know that relationships and endeavors of a spiritual or artistic nature can move forward at this time.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>13-19 degrees</em><span class=\"s1\"><i> of</i> <b><i>Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune rules Pisces).</i></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 10:09pm EDT</strong>, <em>the last Quarter Moon in 17.5 degrees of <strong>Aquarius</strong></em> becomes exact. The Moon in <strong>Aquarius</strong> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in <strong>Taurus</strong>. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Aquarius last Sunday morning (May 6th). </strong><span class=\"s2\"><i> </i>This may bring challenges; however, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.</span>\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to May 15th\'s New Moon in <strong>Taurus</strong>. With the last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us to take a look at what needs to be completed. What -- if anything -- needs last-minute adjustments? What did you discover since April 15th? What did it mean for you? What actions could shift the things you seeded or started in mid-late April?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 15-20 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Aquarius, Leo </strong>or<strong> Scorpio</strong>? If so, you will feel this month\'s last Quarter Moon quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in <strong>Leo </strong>or<strong> Cancer</strong> (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (May 8th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking</em> <strong><em>Aquarius</em> until 11:11pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for more details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late evening</strong>, <em>a Sun/Jupiter opposition</em> becomes exact at 8:39pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday morning (May 5th) on, it will remain strong until this Friday evening (May 11th). </strong> This aspect can bring an opportunity to open up our consciousness through other people. As best as you can, expand your perspectives about intimate relationships, other people\'s resources and be open to bringing some optimism to those areas of your life.\r\n\r\nThe urge to grow and expand is strong, but we might overreach -- and hasty actions could backfire. As best as you can, don’t expect too much from others or yourself; avoid over-promising, and create deeper connections whenever you can. Use humor :-)\r\n\r\nProjects or ambitions may come to a culmination point, or undergo surprising changes; ask yourself: What insights am I receiving? Where can I go from here? What if I walked in their shoes, just for a moment? Where would I walk to?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in<em>15-22 degrees</em> of <b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more affected by this opposition.This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 10:29pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for almost an hour, <strong>until 11:11pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC,</a> as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday late evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 11:11pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters creative, sensitive <strong>Pisces</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Friday morning. </strong> This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 9th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive</em><strong><em> Pisces</em> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:36pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning (May 8th) on, it will remain strong until Thursday morning (May 10th). This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed in order to see what needs adjusting.</strong>\r\n\r\nThis aspect is a fork in the road. We could take the path of learning about inner dialog and sharing ourselves with others by being open and curious -- or, we could take the path that leads to increased understanding of intimacy and resources that are shared with others.\r\n\r\nEither way, we can develop a new perspective on how to approach these things. Awareness is key with this aspect: What is needed? How can we serve the broader view?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>17-19 degrees</em> of <b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (May 10th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive</em> <strong>Pisces all day</strong> (see Tuesday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early morning,</strong> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday late morning,</strong> a nice feeling of ease and an ability to trust and connect deeply with others. As best as you can, trust your intuitive sensing right now, allow whatever comes up to be beneficial for you.\r\n\r\nThursday early afternoon: we feel a need to go within -- and also want to connect and learn from others. This tension clearly invites us to stretch a little and resolve it through creative solutions -- the key here is to listen to our intuition, so we don\'t drive ourselves or others crazy.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday afternoon: </strong>we get an opportunity to be very present; also to connect with others and share practical advice, or simply enjoy \"the good things in life\". As best as you can, bring a sense of flow and faith to who you are being, and allow yourself to slow down and connect with nature.\r\n\r\nThursday late afternoon, we have the opportunity to be guided by inspiration, and fully commit to a project or task that might serve us long-term. As best as you can, listen and trust to the subtle messages in your heart, that stir you towards success.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (May 11th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive</em> <strong>Pisces</strong> <strong>until 8:40am EDT</strong> (see Tuesday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 5:02am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for a little over 3.5 hours, <strong>until 8:40am EDT. </strong><span class=\"s1\">If you are awake during this intuitive time, take the opportunity to go within and listen to your subtle intuitive \"voice\" -- your heart -- then focus anew on your long-term goals.</span>\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday morning ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 8:40am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters pioneering, fast-paced <strong>Aries,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday afternoon</strong>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday evening</strong>, <em>a harmonious Sun/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 7:10pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning (May 8th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening (May 14th). This aspect brings a sense of focus and empowerment to our long-term goals. We have the ability to look at everything in a very down-to-earth manner right now; through our understanding of \"what is and what is not\", we can make more powerful choices.</strong>\r\n\r\nWe can also deepen our understanding of our own motivations and look closely at where we are heading. This aspect also brings an intensity and a depth to our conscious awareness; therefore this is also a great time to transform our lives, stripping away anything -- even people -- that no longer connect with who we are.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How can I live more authentically? Is there anything holding me back? What fears and attachments could I release now, that no longer serve my evolution? Am I willing to let them go, just for now, and just as best as I can?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>18-24 degrees</em> of <b><i>Taurus, Capricorn</i></b><i> or <b>Virgo</b></i><i>? If so, you will be even more blessed by this aspect than those who do not; this is also true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (the Sun being the ruler of Leo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late evening, </strong><em>the Balsamic Moon phase begins, when the Moon reaches 9.5 degrees of <strong>Aries. </strong></em><span class=\"s1\">This lasts <b>until Tuesday morning</b>, when the New Moon in <b>Taurus </b>becomes exact (for those of you who are impatiently waiting for my New Moon video, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"><span class=\"s2\">click here</span></a> after May 10th). We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our intuition.</span>\r\n\r\nFor some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes. This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday night</strong> (Saturday very early morning), <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:05am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening (May 10th) on, it will remain strong until Saturday evening (May 12th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice… so we need to develop inner awareness.</span>\r\n\r\nFear of disappointment is causing some tension. Our inner need for growth requires honesty about what is causing those fears -- most likely our own lack of good boundaries and self-esteem. Watch out for getting pulled into overly burdensome roles in other people\'s lives, because you feel it is required of you, this can often be a path into \"control issues\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, carefully examine your motivations and self-image: How do you feel about your ability to communicate, share yourself and connect on a deep emotional level? What role does fear play in all of this?\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>20-22 degrees Gemini <i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</i></em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (May 12th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced</em> <strong>Aries</strong> <strong>all day</strong> (see Friday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday late morning</strong>,<em> a challenging Mercury/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 9:30am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday (May 10th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening (May 14th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">Due to the recent Mercury Retrograde phase, we get to experience this aspect several times; this is the third and last pass within the last 10 weeks. </span>\r\n\r\n<span class=\"s1\">This gives us a chance to address our approach toward any misunderstandings. </span><span class=\"s1\">This aspect<i> </i></span><span class=\"s2\">brings some juicy energy to our conversations. This is a chance to have some discussions that have been overdue. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">As best as you can, make it a productive discussion that serves you and others -- a win-win -- otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards. Also, watch out on the road for some crazy drivers… rushing might not necessarily get you there faster ;-) </span></p>\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in the following: 25-29 degrees of<strong> Aries, </strong><strong>Capricorn</strong>,<strong> Libra, Cancer,</strong> or 0-1 degree of <b>Taurus, Aquarius, Scorpio </b>or<b> Leo</b>?<span class=\"s3\"><i> </i></span><span class=\"s2\"><i>If so, you may feel more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries)</i></span>\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Saturday, </strong><em>Mars enters its 6.5-week shadow phase, when it reaches 28.5 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong>. </em><span class=\"s1\">This precedes the retrograde phase, which will begin on June 26th in 9 degrees of <b>Aquarius</b> (more on that in 6 weeks).</span>\r\n\r\nSo what is the \"shadow phase\"? To explain this, I\'ll quickly cover what happens when a planet \"stations\" and then goes “retrograde\".\r\n\r\nRelative to us on Earth, a planet sometimes looks like it is slowing down (\"stationing\"), then stopping. After being still for a while, it actually appears to go \"backward\" through the sky (this is the \"retrograde\" phase). It\'s a little like catching up to a car on the highway, driving exactly alongside it for a moment, then passing it and pulling ahead.\r\n\r\nAt first, retrograde movement is slow, but the planet gradually reaches its normal pace through the sky -- except it\'s going backward. The process then reverses itself: the backward pace slows, the planet crawls to a \"halt\", then it starts to move forward again (i.e. it goes direct). In our car analogy, it\'s like the car you just passed gradually speeds up and passes you again.\r\n\r\nThere are also two \"shadow\" phases -- during these, the planet travels over a part of the sky it will later \"revisit\". The first \"shadow\" comes before the planet moves backward; the second comes when the planet starts to catch back up (after going direct).\r\n\r\nIt\'s like you went hiking and left something behind at camp. If you went back to get it, you\'d have some catching up to do, and would see the same scenery twice or more. Mars\'s shadow phases usually last 6-7 weeks before and after the Retrograde phase. Pay attention to what you do or pursue during this time; you may need to revisit or redo them during the Retrograde phase.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 13th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced</em> <strong>Aries until 2:15 EDT</strong> (see Friday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Uranus alignment in 29 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> becomes exact at 6:50am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday morning (May 11th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Tuesday (May 5th).  </strong><span class=\"s1\">With this alignment, an important insight is coming through, something new is preparing to enter consciousness – and we are getting the urge to move forward. We might experience some really unusual conversations. Our mind could be flooded with new information and ideas, and we most likely feel enthusiastic and excited by these fresh ideas and insights.</span>\r\n\r\nIt\'s a time when we could achieve real breakthroughs in the form of ideas, communications, and the mind in general — but coupled with the possibility of edginess and impatience toward those who don’t “get” our new insights. Nervousness, impulsivity and fidgeting could be a by-product of this alignment as well.\r\n\r\nComputers and electronics may suddenly become important. We\'ll likely have flashes of insight into our own mental workings, original thoughts, etc. As best as you can, and as much as you want to, stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body. That way, all that energy can move through you, without shaking you to the core ;-)\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 27-29 degrees of <b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn, </i></b><i>or 0-3 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </strong>or<strong> Aquarius</strong></i><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>  (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Uranus rules Aquarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 8:40am EDT</strong>, Mercury changes signs from<i> </i><span class=\"s1\"><i>enthusiastic, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> to steady, peaceful </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where it will journey<b> until <strong>May 29th</strong></b>.<b> For the next 3 weeks</b>, our thinking shifts gears: we want to connect to others in a realistic, down-to-earth way and we \"say it like it is\". We appreciate common sense; we rely on our senses when it comes to processing information.</span>\r\n\r\nA well-developed sense of color, smell, and touch are characteristic of this Mercury position, so as long as Mercury is in Taurus, we will be drawn towards the \"tasteful\" in the realm of the five senses. We are more likely to have a no-nonsense approach to decision-making, and our ideas are often very practical and useful at this time.\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to learning, we prefer demonstrations, concrete answers, and basic concepts for the next 3 weeks. We learn best when we see real-world uses for the theories we are trying to absorb. We simply process information better when we can personalize it (\"what use is it to me?\") and attach it to the practical world.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in <b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more talkative during this time. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you may need to slow down and “smell the roses” ;-)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 2:05pm EDT</strong>, we enter a brief <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 10 minutes, <strong>until 2:15pm EDT</strong>. <span class=\"s1\">Use this intuitive time to connect with people that can enthusiastically support your projects and share with them what you have going on. </span>As always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 2:15pm EDT</strong>,<em> the Moon enters steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Tuesday late afternoon</strong>. <span class=\"s1\">We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing for the next two days? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"> <strong>A heads up for next Monday (May 14th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful</em> <strong><em>Taurus</em> all day</strong> (see Sunday afternoon for details).

Yahooooo! Bring it on! :-)\r\n\r\n<b>A quick announcement before we get started:</b><b>\r\n</b> Because it is <strong>my birthday this week</strong>, I wanted to give something of value, and I thought with all the changes that are coming, a <strong>30% discount</strong> on my 50-minute Coaching/Healing sessions would be a nice gift for everyone -- especially for those of you who are already doing monthly 25-minute Coaching/Healing sessions with me via the SuperStar Membership. I\'m running this special during my birthday week only :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>To take advantage of the special offer,</strong><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/coaching/\"> click here</a> and add one or more coaching sessions -- and when you get to your shopping cart, enter coupon code: <strong>BIRTHDAY_GIFT</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>PS:</strong> If you are holding back because you can\'t do a session this week, don\'t worry -- you can schedule it anytime between now and Nov. 2018 -- and if you want to stock up at this super-low price, go ahead and use the code on multiple sessions ;-) Looking forward to connecting and supporting you! May we all have a fantastic time adjusting to the new energies that are coming our way!\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: We have several planets changing signs this week -- Uranus (from Aries to Taurus, where it will journey for about 8 years), Mars (from Capricorn to Aquarius); Venus (from Gemini to Cancer) and last but not least, the Sun (from Taurus to Gemini).\r\n\r\nIn addition, the New Moon in Taurus becomes exact on Tuesday, and there will be four <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: Tuesday late afternoon (for almost 15 minutes), Thursday afternoon (3.5 hours), Saturday late afternoon (2 hours), and Sunday late evening (22.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (May 14th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Taurus</strong></em><strong> all day. </strong>We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.\r\n\r\nIn other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing until Tuesday late afternoon? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early morning: </strong>The best way to handle the first few hours of Monday (if you\'re awake) is to slow down a little and focus on what\'s sitting right in front of you, that needs to be taken care of, so you can get to the next phase of accomplishment.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late afternoon, </strong>we have an opportunity to...\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>ALREADY A MEMBER? Log into your ​Member\'s ​account and keep reading!</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong> NOT A MEMBER yet? GET IT ALL!

If there was a way to satisfy both desires at once, what would that look like? What does the bigger picture look like?<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday </strong>is also the <i>last day before the New Moon</i> becomes exact. This is a great day to let go of what no longer serves us. As best as you can, avoid jumping the gun: Rather than launching into brand-new endeavors or connections, wait until a couple of days has passed after the New Moon. Some of us might feel a little anxious or nervous today: As best as you can, get quiet and go within… Listen to the silence between the sounds… Find peace in the connection with your innermost and truest Self.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (15th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus</strong></em> <strong>until 4:43pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 7:48am EDT</strong>, the <i>New Moon in 24.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> becomes exact. This marks the beginning of a new Moon cycle. As best as you can, get really quiet, and see if you are getting any new messages or ideas. If you are, harvest them, and fold them into any intentions you set for the new Moon cycle -- I will talk about this process later in the forecast, and I’ll even give you the very best and most potent times for doing it :-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Click here to watch my video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\n<i>This New Moon in steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> places more focus on our interactions with the physical world -- you could say that we seek a healthier relationship with “matter\", one in which we are neither too attached, or too disconnected from our bodies, resources (such as money), and the planet we co-inhabit. We are powerfully reminded to take the time to honor the only planet we can currently live on — The Earth — we are called on to honor its resources and beauty.\r\n\r\nIn much the same spirit, we are invited also to honor ourselves, our bodies, our talents. This is a good time for reevaluating our relationship to money and possessions, and for discovering what truly makes us happy and fulfilled. Check in with yourself: What came to mind when you read this?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon trines Mars and Pluto in </i><b><i>Capricorn. </i></b>This combo promotes a realistic and responsible long-term approach. We have the chance to better align our goals with our values; it\'s easier for us to sustain what we have started, and bring a heightened sense of commitment to it all.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I am completely honest, what do I truly want for myself long-term? What really matters to me? If I felt the need to connect to something in a passionate way, what might that be? What truly fulfills me? And what modest step could I take today to move towards my goals?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus, </i>the ruler of Taurus, <i>moves through </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> at the time of the New Moon. This reminds us to learn and discuss Taurean issues: resources, appreciation of physical matter, natural beauty etc.\r\n\r\nThe spiritual quest of <b>Gemini</b>, on the other hand, concerns the development of perception, our powers of thought, and communication. As the creative power of the feminine, Venus in Gemini represents <i>the \"bringing together of opposites\" -- </i>people with different values, for example.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> When I picture this, what do I see? What might this look like in my various communities? How about within my relationships? Could exploring duality help me understand different points of views? Might curiosity be a vital tool in all of this? If so, what could I get curious about? What would 5% more flexibility do for my ability to relate to others?\r\n\r\nAnother thing worth mentioning: <i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>also</i> <i>makes a</i> <i>\"mutual reception\" to Mercury in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> <b><i>--</i></b> in other words, these planets are in each other\'s signs until May 19th; during that time, they \"mutually\" support each other\'s agenda. This gives us the opportunity to connect mind and heart.\r\n\r\nWe seek out mental stimulation: teaching, learning, writing, collecting and processing information, etc.... and we want to share the output in practical ways, applying it to the real world and ourselves, our values, and our physical experience of life.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, allow yourself to take your time processing things that you just started engaging with. In the meantime, stay open to learning, remain curious, and remember that every teacher is also a student and vice versa.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What if I listened to myself 5% more? What if I had 5% more faith that I\'d be heard? What might I discover about my thinking processes and my value? Is it possible my value doesn\'t need to be \"earned\"? What if, without my being alive, nothing else could be as it is?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus, in the last degree of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, makes a square to Mars in the last degree of </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b>at the time of the New Moon (more about this square when it becomes exact on Wednesday). As some of you already know, when a planet is the last degree of a sign, its energy is more exalted, as it knows that a shift is coming -- you could say that the rumbling of its vibration gets louder.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What am I waking to? Where do I need to assert myself? How might I do that while still keeping what I want to create long-term in view? What has been holding me back? What am I ready to address and change? What needs to happen so I can move forward in a mature fashion?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus moves into </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact (more on that below) -- starting its preview through this peace-loving, sensual sign until early November of this year -- I say \"preview\", because Uranus will return to <b>Taurus</b> in March 2019, for a 7 year-transit. These next 28 days will be ripe with shifts and changes, so stay centered in the here and now, expect the unexpected and allow yourself to make an inner shift -- as this paves the way for an outer shift. Flexibility is key!\r\n\r\nWe went over this upcoming shift in more detail in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how Uranus\'s journey through Taurus until 2026 impacts you personally, feel free to get the 120 min. long webinar on the subject; <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product-category/webinars/\">for more info or to purchase, click here </a>The fee for this is only $37, even though the webinar is 30 minutes longer than my usual webinars -- partly because we also cover Chiron\'s journey through Aries until 2027.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">You can also check out a brief excerpt of this webinar, here</a> Enjoy ;-) I also offer a <strong>Special Offer this month</strong>: sign up for Star or SuperStar Membership <strong>by May 31st</strong> (or upgrade from Universal to Star Membership via \"My Account\"), and get this webinar for FREE! If you are already a Star or SuperStar Member check your email for the link to this webinar -- it was emailed to you on April 30th ;-)\r\n\r\nThink back over the last 7 years (i.e. March 2011 - May 2018), while Uranus was in <b>Aries</b>, and <b>ask yourself: </b>Where did I make progress on my goals and desires? What structures needed to be renewed for me to break through and find a new or unique approach to who I\'m being? Do some of those structures actually need to break down? What self-realizations make me stand out and go after things in a more original way? How did this 7-year transit through Aries support my vision?\r\n\r\nIf you have a Birth chart, and know what to look for, look to see what Houses are connected to the <b>Aries</b> energy -- and if that sounds like I\'m talking a foreign language, feel free to watch my video: <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">How to Read Your Birth Chart</a> <i>or</i> <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">join our next Forecasting Forum</a> on <b>May 31st at 7pm EDT</b>, and ask me your questions there. We will cover the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that starts in June -- that will also be connected to Aries in your chart -- I will definitely explain this in great detail in the Forum ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> conjuncts Uranus in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> -- this alignment is exact on May 13th, in 29º of Aries, two days before the New Moon becomes exact<i>.</i><b><i> </i></b>This could bring some exciting possibilities, perhaps even a leap forward in the evolution of our consciousness, with flashes of insight into our own mental workings and some original thoughts coming through, etc.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, and as much as you want to (of course), stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What might a true breakthrough look like? What insights am I receiving? What is it I\'m learning about myself every day that might change my whole perspective?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury also makes a trine to Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>. With Saturn</i> being a part of the equation it is important for us to learn something new using a mature and realistic approach.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What concrete, practical plans could I make? Could I allow myself to take it one step at a time, staying grounded in the here and now? What does a truthful, realistic alignment with long-term goals look like to me?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> trines Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>at the time of the New Moon, bringing the potential for spiritual inspiration -- and it\'s a great time for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>How might more trust and empathy help my perception of intimate relationships? What might be possible for me if I allowed for things to unfold? What if I allowed myself to see the perfection in everything that I perceive right here, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> It is important to remember that we are part of nature, just like a tree, or an ocean -- our actions and interactions with the only home we have will change it, for good or ill. We are also developing an increasingly profound conscious awareness over the next 28 days that connects us to all that is alive.\r\n\r\nTo bring all this together,<b> ask yourself:</b> What baby steps could I take for the planet I co-inhabit? What would show my love and appreciation? What do I sense when I get very quiet and tune into my own energy field and the energy all around me? What really matters to my heart?\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <i>not</i> during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions </i>would be <b>between</b> <b>7:48am on Tuesday, May 15th and <strong>7:48am EDT Thursday morning (May 17th).</strong></b>\r\n\r\n<i>Note</i>, however, that there is a brief <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a><b> on Tuesday afternoon -- it runs from 4:30pm until 4:43pm EDT. </b><i>Don’t</i> set your intentions during those 13 minutes — instead, allow intuition to surface possible intentions while you wait. For more info on setting New Moon Intentions, <a href=\"http://goo.gl/jujnrD\">click here</a>\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EDT (US East Coast-time), feel free to join my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fan page</a> or follow me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday morning to let you know that it\'s the best time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nWhen setting intentions, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> What might shift if I focused 5% more on the beauty that already surrounds me?<i> </i>What might open up if I truly valued curiosity and open-mindedness? What if I learned to listen right past my conditioning and opinions? What if I took my time to respond? What might my heart want me to say? <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Again, feel free to also watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/IvgN28_yRKc\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 22-27 degrees of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>?

Use this intuitive time to take small steps on projects already underway -- or simply take a break and do a set of Sun Salutations or push-ups ;-)\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 4:43pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters chatty, versatile <strong>Gemini,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Thursday late afternoon/early evening. </strong>For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way…\r\n\r\nThe one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 16th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Gemini</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\nTuesday night/<strong>Wednesday very early morning at 12:55am EDT,</strong> <i>Mars changes signs from practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Capricorn</strong><i> to freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><strong><i>Aquarius</i>, </strong>where it<em> </em>will journey for an unusually long time, <strong>until August 12th. </strong>Due to the upcoming Mars retrograde phase that begins in the end of June, Mars will journey through<strong> Aquarius </strong>one more time,<strong> from Sept. 10th - Nov. 15th.</strong>\r\n\r\nI will be talking about the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that begins in June in my next Forecasting Forum. Mars will be stationing in Aquarius, and retrograding back into Capricorn. What does this mean for the current Healing journey of our masculine energies?\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how to align yourself with this planetary movement, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation.

How could you move that to the next level?\r\n\r\nDuring these times, when Mars travels through Aquarius, we enjoy surprising ourselves and others. The tried-and-true methods of getting things done are far too boring for us right now. We are looking for unique and original goals, and we tend to take a more original, forward-thinking view of the world now. What if, when you were least expecting it, you suddenly asked yourself \"How could I surprise the \"old me\" today?\" ;-)\r\n\r\nMental and intellectual pursuits are important to us now. The Aquarian ideal of equality is strong with this position, so we also place a lot of value in freedom and individuality -- our own <i>and</i> that of others. With Mars in this fixed sign, we will definitely need our independence, especially in personal relationships -- and we are not easily pushed around. It\'s best to give ourselves and others lots of space; if we feel boxed in, we may rebel or act contrary.\r\n\r\nIn general, we may feel a desire to push our agenda on others -- not in an aggressive way, though... more in a creative manner. As best as you can, bring a sense of openness to your approach to people and situations. Be aware of feeling superior to others: if you find yourself thinking that someone is less \"special\" than you, put your hand over your heart and ask \"what would my heart say to this?\"\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more detached, forward-thinking and freedom-loving. You may want to change things in your life that have outlived their use. If you are an </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 12.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mars/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:04am EDT. This is the first Mars/Uranus Square of the year in the fixed signs (Aquarius/Taurus). <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last week Monday (May 7th), it will remain strong until next week Friday (May 25th). </strong>This aspect asks us to get in touch with our desires and break away from anything that is holding us back. Passions and anger that we may not even know we had may emerge at this time.\r\n\r\nUranus urges us to let go of the past and focus on a better future. We may feel restless and impatient; we can be very demanding and difficult to please. We tend to feel like progress is too slow and we are tired of waiting. This could be an explosive time, as our inner rebel issues emotional challenges, while outer \"reality\" demands we change course.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, if you are the kind of person that doesn\'t go in for asserting themselves, this is an excellent time to try it out ;-) Do your best not to burn all your bridges, especially with any males in your family or in your various communities. We may also experience an awakening of sorts in regards to our sexuality.\r\n\r\nAccidents are unusually likely (though not inevitable), especially if our levels of activity and energy are erratic; to prevent this, stay as grounded as possible and keep breathing! Flexibility and open-mindedness are always helpful but are especially important now. Notice when you are digging your heels in about something, this is usually a sign that you have some underlying anxiety about something else; again, take a deep breath, get centered in your body, close your eyes and focus on your third eye.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What am I afraid of happening? How might I channel this restless energy into projects that are asking for progress? How might I channel, or just burn off, all this erratic energy? What kind of exercise might be an energetic match? Where am I stagnating? Where am I able to take innovative action?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or personal planets in </i><i>27-29 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn,</i></b><i> or 0-</i><i>3 </i><i>degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>?

Use this intuitive time to connect with others and share yourself in whatever way, shape, or form feels right to you in the moment: spoken or written word, phone, email, IM, letter, etc.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday afternoon until early evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 5:47pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Saturday evening</strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it -- otherwise, you risk becoming drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday late evening, around 10:40pm EDT, </strong><em>the Sun in <strong>Taurus</strong> squares the Solar Eclipse degree</em> from Feb. 15th (27 degrees of <strong>Aquarius</strong>). This marks a turning point in our lives in regards to our Soul\'s Journey.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Observe how this plays out for you: Where are you looking to make progress? What needs to change? What adjustments or creative solutions might clear the way for you to move forward powerfully with an open mind?</span></p>\r\n<strong>Friday (May 18th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday late afternoon/early evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday early afternoon</strong>, <em>a harmonious Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:49pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening (May 16th) on, it will remain strong until Sunday (May 20th). </strong>It will help to interact with integrity and commitment. We can set aside unrealistic views and make concrete, practical plans, that help us explore our long-term goals.  <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe “get to the point” with no wasted time or words. Seeking a larger understanding, we speak our truth but temper it with adult caution and moderation. The reality of our beliefs gets clearer and our thought processes are more realistic. It is important for us to learn something new, with a mature attitude.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>5-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? Or perhaps you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn?</i></b><i> If so, you will likely be more blessed by this aspect.</i>\r\n\r\nAlso on<strong> Friday late afternoon, </strong>it\'s <i>time to take actions on our New Moon intentions</i>: if you set Intentions Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning -- after the New Moon became exact --<strong> today (from late afternoon on) </strong>and<strong> tomorrow (Saturday) <strong>before 5:14pm </strong></strong>and<strong><strong> after 7:11pm EDT, </strong></strong>will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (May 19th)</strong>:<em> the Moon remains in protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer</strong></em> <strong>until 7:11pm EDT</strong> (see Thursday early evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday morning at 9:11am EDT</strong>, <i style=\"font-style: italic;\">Venus changes signs from chatty, versatile &amp; curious</i><i> </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Gemini</strong><i style=\"font-style: italic;\"> to protective, nurturing </i><strong><i>Cancer, </i></strong>where she will journey <strong>until June 13th; </strong> for those 4 weeks, we value family, loved ones, our home, emotional safety -- and real-estate dealings.\r\n\r\nWe prefer to be around safe, familiar people and places. We\'d rather stay home than socialize; if we do go out, we much prefer dinner parties at someone\'s home to dining out. When it comes to love, be gentle with each other -- and make sure to talk about your feelings.\r\n\r\nWith regards to our finances, it\'s best to stick to what feels safest and most secure. It\'s a favorable time for real-estate and interior design, or anything that makes the home more comfortable and livable.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel more shy for the next 4 weeks. Your heart will want to connect with family and loved ones. If you are a</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to have more love and beauty in your life, for as long as Venus is in your sign ;-)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:30pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening (May 17th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Monday morning (May 21st). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This gives us the opportunity to experiment with how we relate to others -- to do something different or unusual -- freedom plays a big part in this aspect.</span>\r\n\r\nOf course, others are experimenting too, so you might experience some unusual or unexpected interactions during this time -- it\'s a favorable time for social meetings and events. As best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through your relationships.\r\n\r\nWe\'re also ready to experiment with our financial undertakings -- good places to look: all things \"tech\" (electronics, technology, internet); metaphysics; the arts; group activities. This is not the best time to make long-term financial investments not suggested in an intuitive flash ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 28-29 degrees of <strong>Gemini</strong></i><b><i>, Aries, Leo, </i></b><b><i>Aquarius, </i></b><i>or 0-2 degrees of <strong>Cancer, Taurus, Pisces, </strong>or<strong> Virgo</strong></i><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, Uranus rules Aquarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 5:14pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 2 hours, <strong>until 7:11pm EDT</strong>. This intuitive time is an opportunity to connect with family around shared values -- and perhaps also to take a look at your household finances...\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday late afternoon and evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 7:11pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Monday late evening</strong>. <span class=\"s1\">We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)</span>\r\n\r\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are also a big part of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.\r\n\r\nIf there are no children around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\nAgain, today<strong> (Saturday),  </strong>it\'s <i>time to take actions on our New Moon intentions</i>: if you set Intentions Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning -- after the New Moon became exact -- today <strong>before 5:14pm </strong>and<strong> after 7:11pm EDT, </strong>will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 20th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Saturday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning</strong>, <em>an opportune Mars/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:55am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Monday (May 14th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Friday (May 25th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This is an opportunity to accept the validity of our anger and desire so that we can learn to express these energies naturally and confidently.</span>\r\n\r\nThis could also inspire us to make resolutions and take actions towards healing our emotional and spiritual wounds. Remember: this is an \"opportunity\" -- those aren\'t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in the following: 29 degrees of <b>Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus, Scorpio, </b>or<b> </b>0-4 degrees of</i><b><i> Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, </i><span class=\"s1\"><i>you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Aries </i></b><i>(Mars rules Aries)</i></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late afternoon</strong>, <em>a challenging Venus/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:24pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday night (May 17th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Wednesday (May 23rd). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This aspect asks us to stretch past injuries and insecurities in our relationships, self-worth, and finances. If we can bring compassion and a different point of view to bear on these issues, we will reach a new understanding of ourselves and our life journey.</span>\r\n\r\nWe have the opportunity to learn from one another; ironically though, we may also feel insecure around others. Whenever Chiron is involved, we are being asked to do some healing work. As best as you can, use this time to learn about your sore spots. Nobody is perfect: we all have our flaws and idiosyncrasies. It\'s ok.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you get triggered by someone, as best as you can, take it as an opportunity to see where this trigger originated -- probably in your childhood. Bring love and compassion to yourself, as you are, and as you were (i.e. your \"wounded child\"). Allow <i>any</i> feelings this may stir up in you. A feeling is just energy that wants to be experienced, and honored; it wants to move through us and out.</span></p>\r\nThe more we resist our feelings, the more we keep them spinning in place. As best as you can, move from the head to the heart: What might change, if you showed 5% more compassion toward your inner wounded child? What if you just decided to take an active part in the healing process?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: 28-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i>0-5 degrees of </i><b><i>Cancer, Aries, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 10:06pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from early morning (May 20th) on, it will remain strong until Monday evening (May 21st). </strong><span class=\"s1\">We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward; we need to make a choice. We need to develop inner awareness, so we can make adjustments.</span>\r\n\r\nThis might concern compromising with others. Our enthusiasm might make us impatient or hasty with others. Our values may not be in alignment with those we work with. As best as you can, keep choosing the \"better\" alternative, adjusting as needed.\r\n\r\nWhen life slows down, or becomes uncomfortable, simplify and be patient. We are changing and growing in ways that we can\'t comprehend right now. Stay as open and observant as you can.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-3 degrees of</i><b><i> Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> (Venus rules Taurus and Libra; Mars rules Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening at 10:15pm EDT</strong>,the Sun changes signs from steady, sensual <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>to versatile, fast-thinking</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b>. It will journey through Gemini <b>until June 21st.</b> With the Sun in Gemini, the urge for self-expression is strong. We may be extra interested in collecting and sharing information. This is a time when curiosity and adaptability are favored. We are more flexible, changeable and adaptable -- which makes us quite social as well.\r\n\r\nWe enjoy intellectual conversations and we can easily become bored if we are not getting enough mental stimulation at this time. We are more objective and observant but prefer to keep things light and easy. There is usually a nervousness in the air at this time as well, as we are constantly seeking to connect and have new interactions. “Sharing” is the name of the game.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Gemini, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo, your vitality will most likely speed up and you feel more chatty than usual.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 11:30 pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 22.5 hours, <strong>until 10:03pm EDT </strong>(Monday late evening, May 21st). We are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we feel a strong need to have fun and be creative or self-expressed.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, we want to explore deep, authentic -- even intimate -- connections to ourselves or others. Do your best to use this intuitive time to make adjustments, slow things down a little, and find creative solutions that honor both drives.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday late evening and Monday all day ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>A heads-up for next Monday (May 21st)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a>, <strong>until 10:03pm EDT</strong>. <strong>Also on Monday at 11:49pm EDT</strong>, <em>the first Quarter Moon in 1 degree of <strong>Virgo</strong> becomes exact</em>; the Moon in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in chatty, versatile <strong>Gemini</strong>.

This marks the beginning of a new Moon cycle. As best as you can, get really quiet, and see if you are getting any new messages or ideas. If you are, harvest them, and fold them into any intentions you set for the new Moon cycle -- I will talk about this process later in the forecast, and I’ll even give you the very best and most potent times for doing it :-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Click here to watch my video on the subject</a>:\r\n\r\n<i>This New Moon in steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> places more focus on our interactions with the physical world -- you could say that we seek a healthier relationship with “matter\", one in which we are neither too attached, or too disconnected from our bodies, resources (such as money), and the planet we co-inhabit. We are powerfully reminded to take the time to honor the only planet we can currently live on — The Earth — we are called on to honor its resources and beauty.\r\n\r\nIn much the same spirit, we are invited also to honor ourselves, our bodies, our talents. This is a good time for reevaluating our relationship to money and possessions, and for discovering what truly makes us happy and fulfilled. Check in with yourself: What came to mind when you read this?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon trines Mars and Pluto in </i><b><i>Capricorn. </i></b>This combo promotes a realistic and responsible long-term approach. We have the chance to better align our goals with our values; it\'s easier for us to sustain what we have started, and bring a heightened sense of commitment to it all.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I am completely honest, what do I truly want for myself long-term? What really matters to me? If I felt the need to connect to something in a passionate way, what might that be? What truly fulfills me? And what modest step could I take today to move towards my goals?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus, </i>the ruler of Taurus, <i>moves through </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> at the time of the New Moon. This reminds us to learn and discuss Taurean issues: resources, appreciation of physical matter, natural beauty etc.\r\n\r\nThe spiritual quest of <b>Gemini</b>, on the other hand, concerns the development of perception, thought, and communication. As the creative power of the feminine, Venus in Gemini represents <i>the \"bringing together of opposites\" -- </i>people with different values, for example.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> When I picture this, what do I see? What might this look like in my various communities? How about within my relationships? Could exploring duality help me understand different points of views? Might curiosity be a vital tool in all of this? If so, what could I get curious about? What would 5% more flexibility do for my ability to relate to others?\r\n\r\nAnother thing worth mentioning: <i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>also</i> <i>makes a</i> <i>\"mutual reception\" to Mercury in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> <b><i>--</i></b> in other words, these planets are in each other\'s signs until May 19th; during that time, they \"mutually\" support each other\'s agenda. This gives us the opportunity to connect mind and heart.\r\n\r\nWe seek out mental stimulation: teaching, learning, writing, collecting and processing information, etc.... and we want to share the output in practical ways, applying it to the real world and ourselves, our values, and our physical experience of life.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, allow yourself to take your time processing things that you just started engaging with. In the meantime, stay open to learning, remain curious, and remember that every teacher is also a student and vice versa.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What if I listened to myself 5% more? What if I had 5% more faith that I\'d be heard? What might I discover about my thinking processes and my value? Is it possible my value doesn\'t need to be \"earned\"? What if, without my being alive, nothing else could be as it is?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus, in the last degree of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, makes a square to Mars in the last degree of </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>. As some of you already know, when a planet is the last degree of a sign, its energy is more exalted, as it knows that a shift is coming -- you could say that the rumbling of its vibration gets louder.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What am I waking to? Where do I need to assert myself? How might I do that while still keeping what I want to create long-term in view? What has been holding me back? What am I ready to address and change? What needs to happen so I can move forward in a mature fashion?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus moves into </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact -- starting its preview through this peace-loving, sensual sign until early November of this year -- I say \"preview\", because Uranus will return to <b>Taurus</b> in March, 2019, for a 7 year-transit. These next 28 days will be ripe with shifts and changes, so stay centered in the here and now, expect the unexpected and allow yourself to make an inner shift -- as this paves the way for an outer shift.\r\n\r\nWe went over this upcoming shift in more detail in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how Uranus\'s journey through Taurus until 2026 impacts you personally, feel free to get the 120 min. long webinar on the subject; <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product-category/webinars/\">for more info or to purchase, click here</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/UqfQLJ\">https://goo.gl/UqfQLJ</a> The fee for this is only $37, even though the webinar is 30 minutes longer than my usual webinars -- partly because we also cover Chiron\'s journey through Aries until 2027.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">You can also check out a brief excerpt of this webinar, here:</a> <a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">https://goo.gl/844ZMG</a> Enjoy ;-) I also offer a special this month: sign up for Star or SuperStar Membership before May 31st, and get this webinar for FREE!\r\n\r\nThink back over the last 7 years (i.e. March 2011 - May 2018), while Uranus was in <b>Aries</b>, and <b>ask yourself: </b>Where did I make progress on my goals and desires? What structures needed to be renewed for me to break through and find a new or unique approach to who I\'m being? Do some of those structures actually need to break down? What self-realizations make me stand out and go after things in a more original way? How did this 7-year transit through Aries support my vision?\r\n\r\nIf you have a Birth chart, and know what to look for, look to see what Houses are connected to the <b>Aries</b> energy -- and if that sounds like I\'m talking a foreign language, feel free to watch my video: <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">How to Read Your Birth Chart</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/KMmUUz\">https://goo.gl/KMmUUz</a> <i>or</i> join our next Forecasting Forum on <b>May 31st at 7pm EDT</b>, and ask me your questions there. We will cover the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that starts in June -- that will also be connected to Aries in your chart -- I will definitely explain this in great detail in the Forum ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> conjuncts Uranus in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> -- this alignment is exact on May 13th, in 29º of Aries, two days before the New Moon becomes exact<i>.</i><b><i> </i></b>This could bring some exciting possibilities, perhaps even a leap forward in the evolution of our consciousness, with flashes of insight into our own mental workings and some original thoughts coming through, etc.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, and as much as you want to (of course), stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What might a true breakthrough look like? What insights am I receiving? What is it I\'m learning about myself every day that might change my whole perspective?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury also makes a trine to Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>. With Saturn</i> being a part of the equation it is important for us to learn something new using a mature and realistic approach.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What concrete, practical plans could I make? Could I allow myself to take it one step at a time, staying grounded in the here and now? What does a truthful, realistic alignment with long-term goals look like to me?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> trines Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>at the time of the New Moon, bringing the potential for spiritual inspiration -- and it\'s a great time for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>How might more trust and empathy help my perception of intimate relationships? What might be possible for me if I allowed for things to unfold? What if I allowed myself to see the perfection in everything that I perceive right here, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> It is important to remember that we are part of nature, just like a tree, or an ocean -- our actions and interactions with the only home we have will change it, for good or ill. We are also developing an increasingly profound conscious awareness over the next 28 days that connects us to all that is alive.\r\n\r\nTo bring all this together,<b> ask yourself:</b> What baby steps could I take for the planet I co-inhabit? What would show my love and appreciation? What do I sense when I get very quiet and tune into my own energy field and the energy all around me? What really matters to my heart?\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <i>not</i> during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions </i>would be <b>between</b> <b>7:48am on Tuesday, May 15th and <strong>7:48am EDT Thursday morning (May 17th).</strong></b>\r\n\r\n<i>Note</i> however, that there is a brief<b> Moon Void of Course on Tuesday afternoon; it starts at 4:30pm and ends at 4:43pm EDT. </b><i>Don’t</i> set your intentions during those 20 minutes — instead, allow intuition to surface possible intentions while you wait.

What if I learned to listen right past my conditioning and opinions? What if I took my time to respond? What might my heart want me to say? <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Again, feel free to also watch my video on the subject</a>:\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 22-27 degrees of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>?

This marks the beginning of a new Moon cycle. As best as you can, get really quiet, and see if you are getting any new messages or ideas. If you are, harvest them, and fold them into any intentions you set for the new Moon cycle -- I will talk about this process later in the forecast, and I’ll even give you the very best and most potent times for doing it :-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Click here to watch my video on the subject</a>:\r\n\r\n<i>This New Moon in steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> places more focus on our interactions with the physical world -- you could say that we seek a healthier relationship with “matter\", one in which we are neither too attached, or too disconnected from our bodies, resources (such as money), and the planet we co-inhabit. We are powerfully reminded to take the time to honor the only planet we can currently live on — The Earth — we are called on to honor its resources and beauty.\r\n\r\nIn much the same spirit, we are invited also to honor ourselves, our bodies, our talents. This is a good time for reevaluating our relationship to money and possessions, and for discovering what truly makes us happy and fulfilled. Check in with yourself: What came to mind when you read this?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon trines Mars and Pluto in </i><b><i>Capricorn. </i></b>This combo promotes a realistic and responsible long-term approach. We have the chance to better align our goals with our values; it\'s easier for us to sustain what we have started, and bring a heightened sense of commitment to it all.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I am completely honest, what do I truly want for myself long-term? What really matters to me? If I felt the need to connect to something in a passionate way, what might that be? What truly fulfills me? And what modest step could I take today to move towards my goals?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus, </i>the ruler of Taurus, <i>moves through </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> at the time of the New Moon. This reminds us to learn and discuss Taurean issues: resources, appreciation of physical matter, natural beauty etc.\r\n\r\nThe spiritual quest of <b>Gemini</b>, on the other hand, concerns the development of perception, thought, and communication. As the creative power of the feminine, Venus in Gemini represents <i>the \"bringing together of opposites\" -- </i>people with different values, for example.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> When I picture this, what do I see? What might this look like in my various communities? How about within my relationships? Could exploring duality help me understand different points of views? Might curiosity be a vital tool in all of this? If so, what could I get curious about? What would 5% more flexibility do for my ability to relate to others?\r\n\r\nAnother thing worth mentioning: <i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>also</i> <i>makes a</i> <i>\"mutual reception\" to Mercury in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> <b><i>--</i></b> in other words, these planets are in each other\'s signs until May 19th; during that time, they \"mutually\" support each other\'s agenda. This gives us the opportunity to connect mind and heart.\r\n\r\nWe seek out mental stimulation: teaching, learning, writing, collecting and processing information, etc.... and we want to share the output in practical ways, applying it to the real world and ourselves, our values, and our physical experience of life.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, allow yourself to take your time processing things that you just started engaging with. In the meantime, stay open to learning, remain curious, and remember that every teacher is also a student and vice versa.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What if I listened to myself 5% more? What if I had 5% more faith that I\'d be heard? What might I discover about my thinking processes and my value? Is it possible my value doesn\'t need to be \"earned\"? What if, without my being alive, nothing else could be as it is?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus, in the last degree of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, makes a square to Mars in the last degree of </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>. As some of you already know, when a planet is the last degree of a sign, its energy is more exalted, as it knows that a shift is coming -- you could say that the rumbling of its vibration gets louder.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What am I waking to? Where do I need to assert myself? How might I do that while still keeping what I want to create long-term in view? What has been holding me back? What am I ready to address and change? What needs to happen so I can move forward in a mature fashion?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus moves into </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact -- starting its preview through this peace-loving, sensual sign until early November of this year -- I say \"preview\", because Uranus will return to <b>Taurus</b> in March, 2019, for a 7 year-transit. These next 28 days will be ripe with shifts and changes, so stay centered in the here and now, expect the unexpected and allow yourself to make an inner shift -- as this paves the way for an outer shift.\r\n\r\nWe went over this upcoming shift in more detail in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how Uranus\'s journey through Taurus until 2026 impacts you personally, feel free to get the 120 min. long webinar on the subject; <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product-category/webinars/\">for more info or to purchase, click here</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/UqfQLJ\">https://goo.gl/UqfQLJ</a> The fee for this is only $37, even though the webinar is 30 minutes longer than my usual webinars -- partly because we also cover Chiron\'s journey through Aries until 2027.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">You can also check out a brief excerpt of this webinar, here:</a> <a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">https://goo.gl/844ZMG</a> Enjoy ;-) I also offer a special this month: sign up for Star or SuperStar Membership before May 31st, and get this webinar for FREE!\r\n\r\nThink back over the last 7 years (i.e. March 2011 - May 2018), while Uranus was in <b>Aries</b>, and <b>ask yourself: </b>Where did I make progress on my goals and desires? What structures needed to be renewed for me to break through and find a new or unique approach to who I\'m being? Do some of those structures actually need to break down? What self-realizations make me stand out and go after things in a more original way? How did this 7-year transit through Aries support my vision?\r\n\r\nIf you have a Birth chart, and know what to look for, look to see what Houses are connected to the <b>Aries</b> energy -- and if that sounds like I\'m talking a foreign language, feel free to watch my video: <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">How to Read Your Birth Chart</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/KMmUUz\">https://goo.gl/KMmUUz</a> <i>or</i> join our next Forecasting Forum on <b>May 31st at 7pm EDT</b>, and ask me your questions there. We will cover the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that starts in June -- that will also be connected to Aries in your chart -- I will definitely explain this in great detail in the Forum ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> conjuncts Uranus in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> -- this alignment is exact on May 13th, in 29º of Aries, two days before the New Moon becomes exact<i>.</i><b><i> </i></b>This could bring some exciting possibilities, perhaps even a leap forward in the evolution of our consciousness, with flashes of insight into our own mental workings and some original thoughts coming through, etc.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, and as much as you want to (of course), stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What might a true breakthrough look like? What insights am I receiving? What is it I\'m learning about myself every day that might change my whole perspective?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury also makes a trine to Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>. With Saturn</i> being a part of the equation it is important for us to learn something new using a mature and realistic approach.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What concrete, practical plans could I make? Could I allow myself to take it one step at a time, staying grounded in the here and now? What does a truthful, realistic alignment with long-term goals look like to me?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> trines Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>at the time of the New Moon, bringing the potential for spiritual inspiration -- and it\'s a great time for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>How might more trust and empathy help my perception of intimate relationships? What might be possible for me if I allowed for things to unfold? What if I allowed myself to see the perfection in everything that I perceive right here, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> It is important to remember that we are part of nature, just like a tree, or an ocean -- our actions and interactions with the only home we have will change it, for good or ill. We are also developing an increasingly profound conscious awareness over the next 28 days that connects us to all that is alive.\r\n\r\nTo bring all this together,<b> ask yourself:</b> What baby steps could I take for the planet I co-inhabit? What would show my love and appreciation? What do I sense when I get very quiet and tune into my own energy field and the energy all around me? What really matters to my heart?\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <i>not</i> during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions </i>would be <b>between</b> <b>7:48am on Tuesday, May 15th and <strong>7:48am EDT Thursday morning (May 17th).</strong></b>\r\n\r\n<i>Note</i> however, that there is a brief<b> Moon Void of Course on Tuesday afternoon; it starts at 4:30pm and ends at 4:43pm EDT. </b><i>Don’t</i> set your intentions during those 13 minutes — instead, allow intuition to surface possible intentions while you wait.

What if I learned to listen right past my conditioning and opinions? What if I took my time to respond? What might my heart want me to say? <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Again, feel free to also watch my video on the subject</a>:\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 22-27 degrees of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>?

This marks the beginning of a new Moon cycle. As best as you can, get really quiet, and see if you are getting any new messages or ideas. If you are, harvest them, and fold them into any intentions you set for the new Moon cycle -- I will talk about this process later in the forecast, and I’ll even give you the very best and most potent times for doing it :-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Click here to watch my video on the subject</a>:\r\n\r\n<i>This New Moon in steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> places more focus on our interactions with the physical world -- you could say that we seek a healthier relationship with “matter\", one in which we are neither too attached, or too disconnected from our bodies, resources (such as money), and the planet we co-inhabit. We are powerfully reminded to take the time to honor the only planet we can currently live on — The Earth — we are called on to honor its resources and beauty.\r\n\r\nIn much the same spirit, we are invited also to honor ourselves, our bodies, our talents. This is a good time for reevaluating our relationship to money and possessions, and for discovering what truly makes us happy and fulfilled. Check in with yourself: What came to mind when you read this?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon trines Mars and Pluto in </i><b><i>Capricorn. </i></b>This combo promotes a realistic and responsible long-term approach. We have the chance to better align our goals with our values; it\'s easier for us to sustain what we have started, and bring a heightened sense of commitment to it all.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I am completely honest, what do I truly want for myself long-term? What really matters to me? If I felt the need to connect to something in a passionate way, what might that be? What truly fulfills me? And what modest step could I take today to move towards my goals?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus, </i>the ruler of Taurus, <i>moves through </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> at the time of the New Moon. This reminds us to learn and discuss Taurean issues: resources, appreciation of physical matter, natural beauty etc.\r\n\r\nThe spiritual quest of <b>Gemini</b>, on the other hand, concerns the development of perception, thought, and communication. As the creative power of the feminine, Venus in Gemini represents <i>the \"bringing together of opposites\" -- </i>people with different values, for example.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> When I picture this, what do I see? What might this look like in my various communities? How about within my relationships? Could exploring duality help me understand different points of views? Might curiosity be a vital tool in all of this? If so, what could I get curious about? What would 5% more flexibility do for my ability to relate to others?\r\n\r\nAnother thing worth mentioning: <i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>also</i> <i>makes a</i> <i>\"mutual reception\" to Mercury in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> <b><i>--</i></b> in other words, these planets are in each other\'s signs until May 19th; during that time, they \"mutually\" support each other\'s agenda. This gives us the opportunity to connect mind and heart.\r\n\r\nWe seek out mental stimulation: teaching, learning, writing, collecting and processing information, etc.... and we want to share the output in practical ways, applying it to the real world and ourselves, our values, and our physical experience of life.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, allow yourself to take your time processing things that you just started engaging with. In the meantime, stay open to learning, remain curious, and remember that every teacher is also a student and vice versa.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What if I listened to myself 5% more? What if I had 5% more faith that I\'d be heard? What might I discover about my thinking processes and my value? Is it possible my value doesn\'t need to be \"earned\"? What if, without my being alive, nothing else could be as it is?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus, in the last degree of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, makes a square to Mars in the last degree of </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b>. As some of you already know, when a planet is the last degree of a sign, its energy is more exalted, as it knows that a shift is coming -- you could say that the rumbling of its vibration gets louder.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What am I waking to? Where do I need to assert myself? How might I do that while still keeping what I want to create long-term in view? What has been holding me back? What am I ready to address and change? What needs to happen so I can move forward in a mature fashion?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus moves into </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact -- starting its preview through this peace-loving, sensual sign until early November of this year -- I say \"preview\", because Uranus will return to <b>Taurus</b> in March, 2019, for a 7 year-transit. These next 28 days will be ripe with shifts and changes, so stay centered in the here and now, expect the unexpected and allow yourself to make an inner shift -- as this paves the way for an outer shift.\r\n\r\nWe went over this upcoming shift in more detail in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how Uranus\'s journey through Taurus until 2026 impacts you personally, feel free to get the 120 min. long webinar on the subject; <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product-category/webinars/\">for more info or to purchase, click here</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/UqfQLJ\">https://goo.gl/UqfQLJ</a> The fee for this is only $37, even though the webinar is 30 minutes longer than my usual webinars -- partly because we also cover Chiron\'s journey through Aries until 2027.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">You can also check out a brief excerpt of this webinar, here:</a> <a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">https://goo.gl/844ZMG</a> Enjoy ;-) I also offer a special this month: sign up for Star or SuperStar Membership before May 31st, and get this webinar for FREE!\r\n\r\nThink back over the last 7 years (i.e. March 2011 - May 2018), while Uranus was in <b>Aries</b>, and <b>ask yourself: </b>Where did I make progress on my goals and desires? What structures needed to be renewed for me to break through and find a new or unique approach to who I\'m being? Do some of those structures actually need to break down? What self-realizations make me stand out and go after things in a more original way? How did this 7-year transit through Aries support my vision?\r\n\r\nIf you have a Birth chart, and know what to look for, look to see what Houses are connected to the <b>Aries</b> energy -- and if that sounds like I\'m talking a foreign language, feel free to watch my video: <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">How to Read Your Birth Chart</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/KMmUUz\">https://goo.gl/KMmUUz</a> <i>or</i> join our next Forecasting Forum on <b>May 31st at 7pm EDT</b>, and ask me your questions there. We will cover the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that starts in June -- that will also be connected to Aries in your chart -- I will definitely explain this in great detail in the Forum ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> conjuncts Uranus in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> -- this alignment is exact on May 13th, in 29º of Aries, two days before the New Moon becomes exact<i>.</i><b><i> </i></b>This could bring some exciting possibilities, perhaps even a leap forward in the evolution of our consciousness, with flashes of insight into our own mental workings and some original thoughts coming through, etc.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, and as much as you want to (of course), stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What might a true breakthrough look like? What insights am I receiving? What is it I\'m learning about myself every day that might change my whole perspective?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury also makes a trine to Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>. With Saturn</i> being a part of the equation it is important for us to learn something new using a mature and realistic approach.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What concrete, practical plans could I make? Could I allow myself to take it one step at a time, staying grounded in the here and now? What does a truthful, realistic alignment with long-term goals look like to me?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> trines Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>at the time of the New Moon, bringing the potential for spiritual inspiration -- and it\'s a great time for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>How might more trust and empathy help my perception of intimate relationships? What might be possible for me if I allowed for things to unfold? What if I allowed myself to see the perfection in everything that I perceive right here, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> It is important to remember that we are part of nature, just like a tree, or an ocean -- our actions and interactions with the only home we have will change it, for good or ill. We are also developing an increasingly profound conscious awareness over the next 28 days that connects us to all that is alive.\r\n\r\nTo bring all this together,<b> ask yourself:</b> What baby steps could I take for the planet I co-inhabit? What would show my love and appreciation? What do I sense when I get very quiet and tune into my own energy field and the energy all around me? What really matters to my heart?\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <i>not</i> during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions </i>would be <b>between</b> <b>7:48am on Tuesday, May 15th and <strong>7:48am EDT Thursday morning (May 17th).</strong></b>\r\n\r\n<i>Note</i> however, that there is a brief<b> Moon Void of Course on Tuesday afternoon; it starts at 4:30pm and ends at 4:43pm EDT. </b><i>Don’t</i> set your intentions during those 13 minutes — instead, allow intuition to surface possible intentions while you wait.

I will be posting reminders on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday morning to let you know that it\'s the best time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nWhen setting intentions, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> What might shift if I focused 5% more on the beauty that already surrounds me?<i> </i>What might open up if I truly valued curiosity and open-mindedness? What if I learned to listen right past my conditioning and opinions? What if I took my time to respond? What might my heart want me to say? <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Again, feel free to also watch my video on the subject</a>:\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 22-27 degrees of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>?

I\'m getting ready for all the awesome change that\'s coming our way this month! Yahooooo, bring it on!\r\n\r\n<b>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement:</b>\r\nBecause it is <strong>my Birthday this week</strong>, I wanted to give something of value, and I thought that getting a <strong>30% discount</strong> on my 50-minute Coaching/Healing sessions, <strong>this week only,</strong> would be a nice gift for everyone... especially for those of you who are already doing monthly 25-minute Coaching/Healing sessions with me via the SuperStar Membership. First time every to make this offer!!!!\r\n\r\n<strong>To get your discount:</strong><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/coaching/\"> Click here</a> and use this coupon (after adding one or multiple Coaching sessions to your cart): BIRTHDAY_GIFT\r\n\r\n<strong>PS:</strong> You do not need to schedule your session for this week, you can schedule it anytime between now and Nov. 2018. So feel free to buy multiple sessions, if you want to stock up at this super-low price ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: the New Moon in Taurus becomes exact on Tuesday morning; Uranus changes signs form Aries to Taurus on Tuesday late morning; Mars changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius on Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning; Venus changes signs from Gemini to Cancer on Saturday morning; and last but not least, the Sun changes signs from Taurus to Gemini on Sunday late evening.\r\n\r\nThere will be four <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: Tuesday late afternoon (for almost 15 minutes), Thursday afternoon (for 3.5 hours), Saturday late afternoon (for 2 hours), and Sunday late evening (for 22.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (May 14th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Taurus</strong></em><strong> all day. </strong>We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.\r\n\r\nIn other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing until Tuesday late afternoon? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early morning: </strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Slowing down a little and focusing on what\'s right in front of us that needs to be taken care of, so we can get to the next phase of what we are trying to accomplish, is most beneficial for the next couple of hours.</span> (Moon in <strong>Taurus</strong> trines Saturn in <strong>Capricorn at 4:58am EDT -- post at 4am EDT)</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late afternoon, </strong>we have an opportunity to meet our need for physical comfort with a gentler, more intuitive approach. (Moon in <strong>Taurus</strong> sextiles Neptune in <strong>Pisces at 5:44pm EDT -- post at 3:45pm EDT)</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday evening,</strong> <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">we are being asked to<strong> </strong>balance our need for physical comfort and security with our desire for deeper emotional connections with ourselves and others. What might be possible if we could integrate one with the other? What if we could see the bigger picture?</span> (Moon in <strong>Taurus</strong> opposes Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio at 8:08pm EDT -- post at 6pm EDT)</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday </strong>is also the <i>last day before the New Moon</i> becomes exact. This is a great day to let go of what no longer serves us. As best as you can, avoid jumping the gun: Rather than launching into brand-new endeavors or connections, wait until a couple of days has passed after the New Moon. Some of us might feel a little anxious or nervous today: As best as you can, get quiet and go within… Listen to the silence between the sounds… Find peace in the connection with your innermost and truest Self.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (15th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus</strong></em> <strong>until 4:43pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 7:48am EDT</strong>, the <i>New Moon in 24.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> becomes exact. This marks the beginning of a new Moon cycle. As best as you can, get really quiet, and see if you are getting any new messages or ideas. If you are, harvest them, and fold them into any intentions you set for the new Moon cycle -- I will talk about this process later in the forecast, and I’ll even give you the very best and most potent times for doing it :-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Click here to watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/IvgN28_yRKc\r\n\r\n<i>This New Moon in steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> places more focus on our interactions with the physical world -- you could say that we seek a healthier relationship with “matter\", one in which we are neither too attached, or too disconnected from our bodies, resources (such as money), and the planet we co-inhabit. We are powerfully reminded to take the time to honor the only planet we can currently live on — The Earth — we are called on to honor its resources and beauty.\r\n\r\nIn much the same spirit, we are invited also to honor ourselves, our bodies, our talents. This is a good time for reevaluating our relationship to money and possessions, and for discovering what truly makes us happy and fulfilled. Check in with yourself: What came to mind when you read this?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon trines Mars and Pluto in </i><b><i>Capricorn. </i></b>This combo promotes a realistic and responsible long-term approach. We have the chance to better align our goals with our values; it\'s easier for us to sustain what we have started, and bring a heightened sense of commitment to it all.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I am completely honest, what do I truly want for myself long-term? What really matters to me? If I felt the need to connect to something in a passionate way, what might that be? What truly fulfills me? And what modest step could I take today to move towards my goals?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus, </i>the ruler of Taurus, <i>moves through </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> at the time of the New Moon. This reminds us to learn and discuss Taurean issues: resources, appreciation of physical matter, natural beauty etc.\r\n\r\nThe spiritual quest of <b>Gemini</b>, on the other hand, concerns the development of perception, thought, and communication. As the creative power of the feminine, Venus in Gemini represents <i>the \"bringing together of opposites\" -- </i>people with different values, for example.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> When I picture this, what do I see? What might this look like in my various communities? How about within my relationships? Could exploring duality help me understand different points of views? Might curiosity be a vital tool in all of this? If so, what could I get curious about? What would 5% more flexibility do for my ability to relate to others?\r\n\r\nAnother thing worth mentioning: <i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>also</i> <i>makes a</i> <i>\"mutual reception\" to Mercury in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> <b><i>--</i></b> in other words, these planets are in each other\'s signs until May 19th; during that time, they \"mutually\" support each other\'s agenda. This gives us the opportunity to connect mind and heart.\r\n\r\nWe seek out mental stimulation: teaching, learning, writing, collecting and processing information, etc.... and we want to share the output in practical ways, applying it to the real world and ourselves, our values, and our physical experience of life.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, allow yourself to take your time processing things that you just started engaging with. In the meantime, stay open to learning, remain curious, and remember that every teacher is also a student and vice versa.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What if I listened to myself 5% more? What if I had 5% more faith that I\'d be heard? What might I discover about my thinking processes and my value? Is it possible my value doesn\'t need to be \"earned\"? What if, without my being alive, nothing else could be as it is?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus, in the last degree of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, makes a square to Mars in the last degree of </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b>at the time of the New Moon (more about this square when it becomes exact on Wednesday). As some of you already know, when a planet is the last degree of a sign, its energy is more exalted, as it knows that a shift is coming -- you could say that the rumbling of its vibration gets louder.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What am I waking to? Where do I need to assert myself? How might I do that while still keeping what I want to create long-term in view? What has been holding me back? What am I ready to address and change? What needs to happen so I can move forward in a mature fashion?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus moves into </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact (more on that below) -- starting its preview through this peace-loving, sensual sign until early November of this year -- I say \"preview\", because Uranus will return to <b>Taurus</b> in March, 2019, for a 7 year-transit. These next 28 days will be ripe with shifts and changes, so stay centered in the here and now, expect the unexpected and allow yourself to make an inner shift -- as this paves the way for an outer shift. Flexibility is key!\r\n\r\nWe went over this upcoming shift in more detail in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how Uranus\'s journey through Taurus until 2026 impacts you personally, feel free to get the 120 min. long webinar on the subject; <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product-category/webinars/\">for more info or to purchase, click here</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/UqfQLJ\">https://goo.gl/UqfQLJ</a> The fee for this is only $37, even though the webinar is 30 minutes longer than my usual webinars -- partly because we also cover Chiron\'s journey through Aries until 2027.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">You can also check out a brief excerpt of this webinar, here:</a> <a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">https://goo.gl/844ZMG</a> Enjoy ;-) I also offer a <strong>Special Offer this month</strong>: sign up for Star or SuperStar Membership <strong>by May 31st</strong> (or upgrade from Universal to Star Membership via \"My Account\"), and get this webinar for FREE! If you are already a Star or SuperStar Member check your email for the link of this webinar -- it was emailed to you on April 30th ;-)\r\n\r\nThink back over the last 7 years (i.e. March 2011 - May 2018), while Uranus was in <b>Aries</b>, and <b>ask yourself: </b>Where did I make progress on my goals and desires? What structures needed to be renewed for me to break through and find a new or unique approach to who I\'m being? Do some of those structures actually need to break down? What self-realizations make me stand out and go after things in a more original way? How did this 7-year transit through Aries support my vision?\r\n\r\nIf you have a Birth chart, and know what to look for, look to see what Houses are connected to the <b>Aries</b> energy -- and if that sounds like I\'m talking a foreign language, feel free to watch my video: <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">How to Read Your Birth Chart</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/KMmUUz\">https://goo.gl/KMmUUz</a> <i>or</i> join our next Forecasting Forum on <b>May 31st at 7pm EDT</b>, and ask me your questions there. We will cover the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that starts in June -- that will also be connected to Aries in your chart -- I will definitely explain this in great detail in the Forum ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> conjuncts Uranus in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> -- this alignment is exact on May 13th, in 29º of Aries, two days before the New Moon becomes exact<i>.</i><b><i> </i></b>This could bring some exciting possibilities, perhaps even a leap forward in the evolution of our consciousness, with flashes of insight into our own mental workings and some original thoughts coming through, etc.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, and as much as you want to (of course), stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What might a true breakthrough look like? What insights am I receiving? What is it I\'m learning about myself every day that might change my whole perspective?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury also makes a trine to Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>. With Saturn</i> being a part of the equation it is important for us to learn something new using a mature and realistic approach.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What concrete, practical plans could I make? Could I allow myself to take it one step at a time, staying grounded in the here and now? What does a truthful, realistic alignment with long-term goals look like to me?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> trines Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>at the time of the New Moon, bringing the potential for spiritual inspiration -- and it\'s a great time for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>How might more trust and empathy help my perception of intimate relationships? What might be possible for me if I allowed for things to unfold? What if I allowed myself to see the perfection in everything that I perceive right here, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> It is important to remember that we are part of nature, just like a tree, or an ocean -- our actions and interactions with the only home we have will change it, for good or ill. We are also developing an increasingly profound conscious awareness over the next 28 days that connects us to all that is alive.\r\n\r\nTo bring all this together,<b> ask yourself:</b> What baby steps could I take for the planet I co-inhabit? What would show my love and appreciation? What do I sense when I get very quiet and tune into my own energy field and the energy all around me? What really matters to my heart?\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <i>not</i> during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions </i>would be <b>between</b> <b>7:48am on Tuesday, May 15th and <strong>7:48am EDT Thursday morning (May 17th).</strong></b>\r\n\r\n<i>Note</i> however, that there is a brief <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a><b> on Tuesday afternoon; it starts at 4:30pm and ends at 4:43pm EDT. </b><i>Don’t</i> set your intentions during those 13 minutes — instead, allow intuition to surface possible intentions while you wait.

I will be posting reminders on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday morning to let you know that it\'s the best time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nWhen setting intentions, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> What might shift if I focused 5% more on the beauty that already surrounds me?<i> </i>What might open up if I truly valued curiosity and open-mindedness? What if I learned to listen right past my conditioning and opinions? What if I took my time to respond? What might my heart want me to say? <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Again, feel free to also watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/IvgN28_yRKc\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 22-27 degrees of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Tuesday late afternoon at 11:16am EDT</strong>,</span><em> Uranus changes signs from pioneering, fast-paced <strong>Aries</strong> to steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus</strong></em>. where it will journey <strong>until November 6th</strong>.\r\n<em>0-2.5 degrees</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 4:30pm EDT</strong>, we enter a brief <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 13 minutes, <strong>until 4:43pm EDT</strong>. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Use this intuitive time to take small steps forward on projects that are already in process, or simply take a break and do a set of Sun Salutations or push-ups ;-)</span>\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. (<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Moon trines Mars in Capricorn</span>).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 4:43pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters chatty, versatile <strong>Gemini,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Thursday late afternoon/early evening. </strong>For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way…\r\n\r\nThe one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 16th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Gemini</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\nTuesday night/<strong>Wednesday very early morning at 12:55am EDT,</strong> <i>Mars changes signs from practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Capricorn</strong><i> to freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><strong><i>Aquarius</i>, </strong>where it<em> </em>will journey for an unusually long time, <strong>until August 12th. </strong>Due to the upcoming Mars retrograde phase that begins in the end of June, Mars will journey through<strong> Aquarius </strong>one more time,<strong> from Sept. 10th - Nov. 15th.</strong>\r\n\r\nI will be talking about the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that begins in June in my next Forecasting Forum. Mars will be stationing in Aquarius, and retrograding back into Capricorn. What does this mean for our current Healing journey of our masculine energies?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how to align yourself with this planetary movement, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation.

How could you move that to the next level? <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nDuring these times, when Mars travels through Aquarius, we enjoy surprising ourselves and others. The tried-and-true methods of getting things done are far too boring for us right now. We are looking for unique and original goals, and we tend to have a rather original, forward-thinking view of the world now. \"<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Progress\" is one of our favorite words! What if you suddenly said to yourself: \"How could I surprise the \"old me\" today?\", when you were least expecting it?</span> ;-)\r\n\r\nMental and intellectual pursuits are important to us now. The Aquarian ideal of equality is strong with this position, so we also place a lot of value in freedom and individuality -- our own <i>and</i> that of others. With Mars in this fixed sign, we will definitely need our independence, especially in personal relationships -- and we are not easily pushed around. It\'s best to give ourselves and others lots of space; if we feel boxed in, we may rebel or act contrary.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nIn general, we may feel a desire to push our agenda on others -- not in an aggressive way, though... more in a creative manner. As best as you can, bring a sense of openness to your approach to people and situations. Be aware of feeling superior to others: if you find yourself thinking that someone is less \"special\" than you, put your hand over your heart and ask \"what would my heart say to this?\"\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more detached, forward-thinking and freedom-loving. You may want to change things in your life that have outlived their use. If you are an </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 12.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mars/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:04am EDT. This is the first Mars/Uranus Square of the year in the fixed signs (Aquarius/Taurus). <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last week Monday (May 7th), it will remain strong until next week Friday (May 25th). </strong>This aspect asks us to get in touch with our desires and break away from anything that is holding us back. Passions and anger that we may not even know we had may emerge at this time.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Uranus urges us to let go of the past and focus on a better future.</span> We may feel restless and impatient; we can be very demanding and difficult to please. We tend to feel like progress is too slow and we are tired of waiting. This could be an explosive time, as our inner rebel issues<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>emotional challenges, while outer \"reality\" demands we change course.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, if you are the kind of person that doesn\'t go in for asserting themselves, this is an excellent time to try it out ;-) Do your best not to burn all your bridges, especially with any males in your family or in your various communities. We may also experience an awakening of sorts in regards to our sexuality.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAccidents are unusually likely (though not inevitable), especially if our levels of activity and energy are erratic; to prevent this, stay as grounded as possible and keep breathing! Flexibility and open-mindedness is always helpful... but is especially important now. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Notice when you are digging your heals in about something, this is usually a sign that you have some underlying anxiety about something else. Again, take a deep breath, get centered in your body, close your eyes and focus on your third eye. </span>\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">What am I afraid of happening?</span> How might I channel this restless energy into projects that are asking for progress? How might I channel, or just burn off, all this erratic energy? What kind of exercise might be an energetic match? Where am I stagnating? Where am I able to take innovative action?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or personal planets in </i><i>27-29 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn,</i></b><i> or 0-</i><i>3 </i><i>degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>?

I\'m getting ready for all the awesome change that\'s coming our way this month! Yahooooo, bring it on!\r\n\r\n<b>Before we get to this week\'s forecast, I have one quick announcement:</b>\r\nBecause it is <strong>my Birthday this week</strong>, I wanted to give something of value, and I thought with all the changes that are coming, that getting a <strong>30% discount</strong> on my 50-minute Coaching/Healing sessions, <strong>this week only,</strong> would be a nice gift for everyone... especially for those of you who are already doing monthly 25-minute Coaching/Healing sessions with me via the SuperStar Membership. First time every to make this offer!!!!\r\n\r\n<strong>To get your discount:</strong><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/coaching/\"> Click here</a> and use this coupon (after adding one or multiple Coaching sessions to your cart): BIRTHDAY_GIFT\r\n\r\n<strong>PS:</strong> You do not need to schedule your session for this week, you can schedule it anytime between now and Nov. 2018. So feel free to buy multiple sessions, if you want to stock up at this super-low price ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: the New Moon in Taurus becomes exact on Tuesday morning; Uranus changes signs form Aries to Taurus on Tuesday late morning; Mars changes signs from Capricorn to Aquarius on Tuesday night/Wednesday very early morning; Venus changes signs from Gemini to Cancer on Saturday morning; and last but not least, the Sun changes signs from Taurus to Gemini on Sunday late evening.\r\n\r\nThere will be four <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: Tuesday late afternoon (for almost 15 minutes), Thursday afternoon (for 3.5 hours), Saturday late afternoon (for 2 hours), and Sunday late evening (for 22.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (May 14th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Taurus</strong></em><strong> all day. </strong>We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.\r\n\r\nIn other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing until Tuesday late afternoon? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early morning: </strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Slowing down a little and focusing on what\'s right in front of us that needs to be taken care of, so we can get to the next phase of what we are trying to accomplish, is most beneficial for the next couple of hours.</span> (Moon in <strong>Taurus</strong> trines Saturn in <strong>Capricorn at 4:58am EDT -- post at 4am EDT)</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late afternoon, </strong>we have an opportunity to meet our need for physical comfort with a gentler, more intuitive approach. (Moon in <strong>Taurus</strong> sextiles Neptune in <strong>Pisces at 5:44pm EDT -- post at 3:45pm EDT)</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday evening,</strong> <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">we are being asked to<strong> </strong>balance our need for physical comfort and security with our desire for deeper emotional connections with ourselves and others. What might be possible if we could integrate one with the other? What if we could see the bigger picture?</span> (Moon in <strong>Taurus</strong> opposes Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio at 8:08pm EDT -- post at 6pm EDT)</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday </strong>is also the <i>last day before the New Moon</i> becomes exact. This is a great day to let go of what no longer serves us. As best as you can, avoid jumping the gun: Rather than launching into brand-new endeavors or connections, wait until a couple of days has passed after the New Moon. Some of us might feel a little anxious or nervous today: As best as you can, get quiet and go within… Listen to the silence between the sounds… Find peace in the connection with your innermost and truest Self.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (15th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus</strong></em> <strong>until 4:43pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 7:48am EDT</strong>, the <i>New Moon in 24.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> becomes exact. This marks the beginning of a new Moon cycle. As best as you can, get really quiet, and see if you are getting any new messages or ideas. If you are, harvest them, and fold them into any intentions you set for the new Moon cycle -- I will talk about this process later in the forecast, and I’ll even give you the very best and most potent times for doing it :-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Click here to watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/IvgN28_yRKc\r\n\r\n<i>This New Moon in steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> places more focus on our interactions with the physical world -- you could say that we seek a healthier relationship with “matter\", one in which we are neither too attached, or too disconnected from our bodies, resources (such as money), and the planet we co-inhabit. We are powerfully reminded to take the time to honor the only planet we can currently live on — The Earth — we are called on to honor its resources and beauty.\r\n\r\nIn much the same spirit, we are invited also to honor ourselves, our bodies, our talents. This is a good time for reevaluating our relationship to money and possessions, and for discovering what truly makes us happy and fulfilled. Check in with yourself: What came to mind when you read this?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon trines Mars and Pluto in </i><b><i>Capricorn. </i></b>This combo promotes a realistic and responsible long-term approach. We have the chance to better align our goals with our values; it\'s easier for us to sustain what we have started, and bring a heightened sense of commitment to it all.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I am completely honest, what do I truly want for myself long-term? What really matters to me? If I felt the need to connect to something in a passionate way, what might that be? What truly fulfills me? And what modest step could I take today to move towards my goals?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus, </i>the ruler of Taurus, <i>moves through </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> at the time of the New Moon. This reminds us to learn and discuss Taurean issues: resources, appreciation of physical matter, natural beauty etc.\r\n\r\nThe spiritual quest of <b>Gemini</b>, on the other hand, concerns the development of perception, thought, and communication. As the creative power of the feminine, Venus in Gemini represents <i>the \"bringing together of opposites\" -- </i>people with different values, for example.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> When I picture this, what do I see? What might this look like in my various communities? How about within my relationships? Could exploring duality help me understand different points of views? Might curiosity be a vital tool in all of this? If so, what could I get curious about? What would 5% more flexibility do for my ability to relate to others?\r\n\r\nAnother thing worth mentioning: <i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>also</i> <i>makes a</i> <i>\"mutual reception\" to Mercury in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> <b><i>--</i></b> in other words, these planets are in each other\'s signs until May 19th; during that time, they \"mutually\" support each other\'s agenda. This gives us the opportunity to connect mind and heart.\r\n\r\nWe seek out mental stimulation: teaching, learning, writing, collecting and processing information, etc.... and we want to share the output in practical ways, applying it to the real world and ourselves, our values, and our physical experience of life.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, allow yourself to take your time processing things that you just started engaging with. In the meantime, stay open to learning, remain curious, and remember that every teacher is also a student and vice versa.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What if I listened to myself 5% more? What if I had 5% more faith that I\'d be heard? What might I discover about my thinking processes and my value? Is it possible my value doesn\'t need to be \"earned\"? What if, without my being alive, nothing else could be as it is?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus, in the last degree of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, makes a square to Mars in the last degree of </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b>at the time of the New Moon (more about this square when it becomes exact on Wednesday). As some of you already know, when a planet is the last degree of a sign, its energy is more exalted, as it knows that a shift is coming -- you could say that the rumbling of its vibration gets louder.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What am I waking to? Where do I need to assert myself? How might I do that while still keeping what I want to create long-term in view? What has been holding me back? What am I ready to address and change? What needs to happen so I can move forward in a mature fashion?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus moves into </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact (more on that below) -- starting its preview through this peace-loving, sensual sign until early November of this year -- I say \"preview\", because Uranus will return to <b>Taurus</b> in March, 2019, for a 7 year-transit. These next 28 days will be ripe with shifts and changes, so stay centered in the here and now, expect the unexpected and allow yourself to make an inner shift -- as this paves the way for an outer shift. Flexibility is key!\r\n\r\nWe went over this upcoming shift in more detail in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how Uranus\'s journey through Taurus until 2026 impacts you personally, feel free to get the 120 min. long webinar on the subject; <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product-category/webinars/\">for more info or to purchase, click here</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/UqfQLJ\">https://goo.gl/UqfQLJ</a> The fee for this is only $37, even though the webinar is 30 minutes longer than my usual webinars -- partly because we also cover Chiron\'s journey through Aries until 2027.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">You can also check out a brief excerpt of this webinar, here:</a> <a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">https://goo.gl/844ZMG</a> Enjoy ;-) I also offer a <strong>Special Offer this month</strong>: sign up for Star or SuperStar Membership <strong>by May 31st</strong> (or upgrade from Universal to Star Membership via \"My Account\"), and get this webinar for FREE! If you are already a Star or SuperStar Member check your email for the link of this webinar -- it was emailed to you on April 30th ;-)\r\n\r\nThink back over the last 7 years (i.e. March 2011 - May 2018), while Uranus was in <b>Aries</b>, and <b>ask yourself: </b>Where did I make progress on my goals and desires? What structures needed to be renewed for me to break through and find a new or unique approach to who I\'m being? Do some of those structures actually need to break down? What self-realizations make me stand out and go after things in a more original way? How did this 7-year transit through Aries support my vision?\r\n\r\nIf you have a Birth chart, and know what to look for, look to see what Houses are connected to the <b>Aries</b> energy -- and if that sounds like I\'m talking a foreign language, feel free to watch my video: <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">How to Read Your Birth Chart</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/KMmUUz\">https://goo.gl/KMmUUz</a> <i>or</i> join our next Forecasting Forum on <b>May 31st at 7pm EDT</b>, and ask me your questions there. We will cover the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that starts in June -- that will also be connected to Aries in your chart -- I will definitely explain this in great detail in the Forum ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> conjuncts Uranus in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> -- this alignment is exact on May 13th, in 29º of Aries, two days before the New Moon becomes exact<i>.</i><b><i> </i></b>This could bring some exciting possibilities, perhaps even a leap forward in the evolution of our consciousness, with flashes of insight into our own mental workings and some original thoughts coming through, etc.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, and as much as you want to (of course), stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What might a true breakthrough look like? What insights am I receiving? What is it I\'m learning about myself every day that might change my whole perspective?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury also makes a trine to Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>. With Saturn</i> being a part of the equation it is important for us to learn something new using a mature and realistic approach.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What concrete, practical plans could I make? Could I allow myself to take it one step at a time, staying grounded in the here and now? What does a truthful, realistic alignment with long-term goals look like to me?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> trines Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>at the time of the New Moon, bringing the potential for spiritual inspiration -- and it\'s a great time for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>How might more trust and empathy help my perception of intimate relationships? What might be possible for me if I allowed for things to unfold? What if I allowed myself to see the perfection in everything that I perceive right here, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> It is important to remember that we are part of nature, just like a tree, or an ocean -- our actions and interactions with the only home we have will change it, for good or ill. We are also developing an increasingly profound conscious awareness over the next 28 days that connects us to all that is alive.\r\n\r\nTo bring all this together,<b> ask yourself:</b> What baby steps could I take for the planet I co-inhabit? What would show my love and appreciation? What do I sense when I get very quiet and tune into my own energy field and the energy all around me? What really matters to my heart?\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <i>not</i> during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions </i>would be <b>between</b> <b>7:48am on Tuesday, May 15th and <strong>7:48am EDT Thursday morning (May 17th).</strong></b>\r\n\r\n<i>Note</i> however, that there is a brief <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a><b> on Tuesday afternoon; it starts at 4:30pm and ends at 4:43pm EDT. </b><i>Don’t</i> set your intentions during those 13 minutes — instead, allow intuition to surface possible intentions while you wait.

What if I learned to listen right past my conditioning and opinions? What if I took my time to respond?

How could you move that to the next level? <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nDuring these times, when Mars travels through Aquarius, we enjoy surprising ourselves and others. The tried-and-true methods of getting things done are far too boring for us right now. We are looking for unique and original goals, and we tend to have a rather original, forward-thinking view of the world now. \"<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Progress\" is one of our favorite words! What if you suddenly said to yourself: \"How could I surprise the \"old me\" today?\", when you were least expecting it?</span> ;-)\r\n\r\nMental and intellectual pursuits are important to us now. The Aquarian ideal of equality is strong with this position, so we also place a lot of value in freedom and individuality -- our own <i>and</i> that of others. With Mars in this fixed sign, we will definitely need our independence, especially in personal relationships -- and we are not easily pushed around. It\'s best to give ourselves and others lots of space; if we feel boxed in, we may rebel or act contrary.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nIn general, we may feel a desire to push our agenda on others -- not in an aggressive way, though... more in a creative manner. As best as you can, bring a sense of openness to your approach to people and situations. Be aware of feeling superior to others: if you find yourself thinking that someone is less \"special\" than you, put your hand over your heart and ask \"what would my heart say to this?\"\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more detached, forward-thinking and freedom-loving. You may want to change things in your life that have outlived their use. If you are an </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 12.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mars/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:04am EDT. This is the first Mars/Uranus Square of the year in the fixed signs (Aquarius/Taurus). <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last week Monday (May 7th), it will remain strong until next week Friday (May 25th). </strong>This aspect asks us to get in touch with our desires and break away from anything that is holding us back. Passions and anger that we may not even know we had may emerge at this time.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Uranus urges us to let go of the past and focus on a better future.</span> We may feel restless and impatient; we can be very demanding and difficult to please. We tend to feel like progress is too slow and we are tired of waiting. This could be an explosive time, as our inner rebel issues<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>emotional challenges, while outer \"reality\" demands we change course.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, if you are the kind of person that doesn\'t go in for asserting themselves, this is an excellent time to try it out ;-) Do your best not to burn all your bridges, especially with any males in your family or in your various communities. We may also experience an awakening of sorts in regards to our sexuality.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAccidents are unusually likely (though not inevitable), especially if our levels of activity and energy are erratic; to prevent this, stay as grounded as possible and keep breathing! Flexibility and open-mindedness is always helpful... but is especially important now. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Notice when you are digging your heals in about something, this is usually a sign that you have some underlying anxiety about something else. Again, take a deep breath, get centered in your body, close your eyes and focus on your third eye. </span>\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">What am I afraid of happening?</span> How might I channel this restless energy into projects that are asking for progress? How might I channel, or just burn off, all this erratic energy? What kind of exercise might be an energetic match? Where am I stagnating? Where am I able to take innovative action?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or personal planets in </i><i>27-29 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn,</i></b><i> or 0-</i><i>3 </i><i>degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>?

What is our favorite thing until Tuesday late afternoon? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early morning: </strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Slowing down a little and focusing on what\'s right in front of us that needs to be taken care of, so we can get to the next phase of what we are trying to accomplish, is most beneficial for the next couple of hours.</span> (Moon in <strong>Taurus</strong> trines Saturn in <strong>Capricorn at 4:58am EDT -- post at 4am EDT)</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late afternoon, </strong>we have an opportunity to meet our need for physical comfort with a gentler, more intuitive approach. (Moon in <strong>Taurus</strong> sextiles Neptune in <strong>Pisces at 5:44pm EDT -- post at 3:45pm EDT)</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday evening,</strong> <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">we are being asked to<strong> </strong>balance our need for physical comfort and security with our desire for deeper emotional connections with ourselves and others. What might be possible if we could integrate one with the other? What if we could see the bigger picture?</span> (Moon in <strong>Taurus</strong> opposes Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio at 8:08pm EDT -- post at 6pm EDT)</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday </strong>is also the <i>last day before the New Moon</i> becomes exact. This is a great day to let go of what no longer serves us. As best as you can, avoid jumping the gun: Rather than launching into brand-new endeavors or connections, wait until a couple of days has passed after the New Moon. Some of us might feel a little anxious or nervous today: As best as you can, get quiet and go within… Listen to the silence between the sounds… Find peace in the connection with your innermost and truest Self.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (15th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus</strong></em> <strong>until 4:43pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 7:48am EDT</strong>, the <i>New Moon in 24.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> becomes exact. This marks the beginning of a new Moon cycle. As best as you can, get really quiet, and see if you are getting any new messages or ideas. If you are, harvest them, and fold them into any intentions you set for the new Moon cycle -- I will talk about this process later in the forecast, and I’ll even give you the very best and most potent times for doing it :-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Click here to watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/IvgN28_yRKc\r\n\r\n<i>This New Moon in steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> places more focus on our interactions with the physical world -- you could say that we seek a healthier relationship with “matter\", one in which we are neither too attached, or too disconnected from our bodies, resources (such as money), and the planet we co-inhabit. We are powerfully reminded to take the time to honor the only planet we can currently live on — The Earth — we are called on to honor its resources and beauty.\r\n\r\nIn much the same spirit, we are invited also to honor ourselves, our bodies, our talents. This is a good time for reevaluating our relationship to money and possessions, and for discovering what truly makes us happy and fulfilled. Check in with yourself: What came to mind when you read this?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon trines Mars and Pluto in </i><b><i>Capricorn. </i></b>This combo promotes a realistic and responsible long-term approach. We have the chance to better align our goals with our values; it\'s easier for us to sustain what we have started, and bring a heightened sense of commitment to it all.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I am completely honest, what do I truly want for myself long-term? What really matters to me? If I felt the need to connect to something in a passionate way, what might that be? What truly fulfills me? And what modest step could I take today to move towards my goals?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus, </i>the ruler of Taurus, <i>moves through </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> at the time of the New Moon. This reminds us to learn and discuss Taurean issues: resources, appreciation of physical matter, natural beauty etc.\r\n\r\nThe spiritual quest of <b>Gemini</b>, on the other hand, concerns the development of perception, thought, and communication. As the creative power of the feminine, Venus in Gemini represents <i>the \"bringing together of opposites\" -- </i>people with different values, for example.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> When I picture this, what do I see? What might this look like in my various communities? How about within my relationships? Could exploring duality help me understand different points of views? Might curiosity be a vital tool in all of this? If so, what could I get curious about? What would 5% more flexibility do for my ability to relate to others?\r\n\r\nAnother thing worth mentioning: <i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>also</i> <i>makes a</i> <i>\"mutual reception\" to Mercury in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> <b><i>--</i></b> in other words, these planets are in each other\'s signs until May 19th; during that time, they \"mutually\" support each other\'s agenda. This gives us the opportunity to connect mind and heart.\r\n\r\nWe seek out mental stimulation: teaching, learning, writing, collecting and processing information, etc.... and we want to share the output in practical ways, applying it to the real world and ourselves, our values, and our physical experience of life.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, allow yourself to take your time processing things that you just started engaging with. In the meantime, stay open to learning, remain curious, and remember that every teacher is also a student and vice versa.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What if I listened to myself 5% more? What if I had 5% more faith that I\'d be heard? What might I discover about my thinking processes and my value? Is it possible my value doesn\'t need to be \"earned\"? What if, without my being alive, nothing else could be as it is?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus, in the last degree of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, makes a square to Mars in the last degree of </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b>at the time of the New Moon (more about this square when it becomes exact on Wednesday). As some of you already know, when a planet is the last degree of a sign, its energy is more exalted, as it knows that a shift is coming -- you could say that the rumbling of its vibration gets louder.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What am I waking to? Where do I need to assert myself? How might I do that while still keeping what I want to create long-term in view? What has been holding me back? What am I ready to address and change? What needs to happen so I can move forward in a mature fashion?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus moves into </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact (more on that below) -- starting its preview through this peace-loving, sensual sign until early November of this year -- I say \"preview\", because Uranus will return to <b>Taurus</b> in March, 2019, for a 7 year-transit. These next 28 days will be ripe with shifts and changes, so stay centered in the here and now, expect the unexpected and allow yourself to make an inner shift -- as this paves the way for an outer shift. Flexibility is key!\r\n\r\nWe went over this upcoming shift in more detail in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how Uranus\'s journey through Taurus until 2026 impacts you personally, feel free to get the 120 min. long webinar on the subject; <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product-category/webinars/\">for more info or to purchase, click here</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/UqfQLJ\">https://goo.gl/UqfQLJ</a> The fee for this is only $37, even though the webinar is 30 minutes longer than my usual webinars -- partly because we also cover Chiron\'s journey through Aries until 2027.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">You can also check out a brief excerpt of this webinar, here:</a> <a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">https://goo.gl/844ZMG</a> Enjoy ;-) I also offer a <strong>Special Offer this month</strong>: sign up for Star or SuperStar Membership <strong>by May 31st</strong> (or upgrade from Universal to Star Membership via \"My Account\"), and get this webinar for FREE! If you are already a Star or SuperStar Member check your email for the link of this webinar -- it was emailed to you on April 30th ;-)\r\n\r\nThink back over the last 7 years (i.e. March 2011 - May 2018), while Uranus was in <b>Aries</b>, and <b>ask yourself: </b>Where did I make progress on my goals and desires? What structures needed to be renewed for me to break through and find a new or unique approach to who I\'m being? Do some of those structures actually need to break down? What self-realizations make me stand out and go after things in a more original way? How did this 7-year transit through Aries support my vision?\r\n\r\nIf you have a Birth chart, and know what to look for, look to see what Houses are connected to the <b>Aries</b> energy -- and if that sounds like I\'m talking a foreign language, feel free to watch my video: <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">How to Read Your Birth Chart</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/KMmUUz\">https://goo.gl/KMmUUz</a> <i>or</i> join our next Forecasting Forum on <b>May 31st at 7pm EDT</b>, and ask me your questions there. We will cover the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that starts in June -- that will also be connected to Aries in your chart -- I will definitely explain this in great detail in the Forum ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> conjuncts Uranus in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> -- this alignment is exact on May 13th, in 29º of Aries, two days before the New Moon becomes exact<i>.</i><b><i> </i></b>This could bring some exciting possibilities, perhaps even a leap forward in the evolution of our consciousness, with flashes of insight into our own mental workings and some original thoughts coming through, etc.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, and as much as you want to (of course), stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What might a true breakthrough look like? What insights am I receiving? What is it I\'m learning about myself every day that might change my whole perspective?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury also makes a trine to Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>. With Saturn</i> being a part of the equation it is important for us to learn something new using a mature and realistic approach.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What concrete, practical plans could I make? Could I allow myself to take it one step at a time, staying grounded in the here and now? What does a truthful, realistic alignment with long-term goals look like to me?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> trines Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>at the time of the New Moon, bringing the potential for spiritual inspiration -- and it\'s a great time for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>How might more trust and empathy help my perception of intimate relationships? What might be possible for me if I allowed for things to unfold? What if I allowed myself to see the perfection in everything that I perceive right here, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> It is important to remember that we are part of nature, just like a tree, or an ocean -- our actions and interactions with the only home we have will change it, for good or ill. We are also developing an increasingly profound conscious awareness over the next 28 days that connects us to all that is alive.\r\n\r\nTo bring all this together,<b> ask yourself:</b> What baby steps could I take for the planet I co-inhabit? What would show my love and appreciation? What do I sense when I get very quiet and tune into my own energy field and the energy all around me? What really matters to my heart?\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <i>not</i> during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions </i>would be <b>between</b> <b>7:48am on Tuesday, May 15th and <strong>7:48am EDT Thursday morning (May 17th).</strong></b>\r\n\r\n<i>Note</i> however, that there is a brief <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a><b> on Tuesday afternoon; it starts at 4:30pm and ends at 4:43pm EDT. </b><i>Don’t</i> set your intentions during those 13 minutes — instead, allow intuition to surface possible intentions while you wait.

I will be posting reminders on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday morning to let you know that it\'s the best time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nWhen setting intentions, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> What might shift if I focused 5% more on the beauty that already surrounds me?<i> </i>What might open up if I truly valued curiosity and open-mindedness? What if I learned to listen right past my conditioning and opinions? What if I took my time to respond? What might my heart want me to say? <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Again, feel free to also watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/IvgN28_yRKc\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 22-27 degrees of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>?

Mars will be stationing in Aquarius, and retrograding back into Capricorn.

How could you move that to the next level? <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nDuring these times, when Mars travels through Aquarius, we enjoy surprising ourselves and others. The tried-and-true methods of getting things done are far too boring for us right now. We are looking for unique and original goals, and we tend to have a rather original, forward-thinking view of the world now. \"<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Progress\" is one of our favorite words! What if you suddenly said to yourself: \"How could I surprise the \"old me\" today?\", when you were least expecting it?</span> ;-)\r\n\r\nMental and intellectual pursuits are important to us now. The Aquarian ideal of equality is strong with this position, so we also place a lot of value in freedom and individuality -- our own <i>and</i> that of others. With Mars in this fixed sign, we will definitely need our independence, especially in personal relationships -- and we are not easily pushed around. It\'s best to give ourselves and others lots of space; if we feel boxed in, we may rebel or act contrary.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nIn general, we may feel a desire to push our agenda on others -- not in an aggressive way, though... more in a creative manner. As best as you can, bring a sense of openness to your approach to people and situations. Be aware of feeling superior to others: if you find yourself thinking that someone is less \"special\" than you, put your hand over your heart and ask \"what would my heart say to this?\"\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more detached, forward-thinking and freedom-loving. You may want to change things in your life that have outlived their use. If you are an </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 12.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mars/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:04am EDT. This is the first Mars/Uranus Square of the year in the fixed signs (Aquarius/Taurus). <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last week Monday (May 7th), it will remain strong until next week Friday (May 25th). </strong>This aspect asks us to get in touch with our desires and break away from anything that is holding us back. Passions and anger that we may not even know we had may emerge at this time.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Uranus urges us to let go of the past and focus on a better future.</span> We may feel restless and impatient; we can be very demanding and difficult to please. We tend to feel like progress is too slow and we are tired of waiting. This could be an explosive time, as our inner rebel issues<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>emotional challenges, while outer \"reality\" demands we change course.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, if you are the kind of person that doesn\'t go in for asserting themselves, this is an excellent time to try it out ;-) Do your best not to burn all your bridges, especially with any males in your family or in your various communities. We may also experience an awakening of sorts in regards to our sexuality.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAccidents are unusually likely (though not inevitable), especially if our levels of activity and energy are erratic; to prevent this, stay as grounded as possible and keep breathing! Flexibility and open-mindedness is always helpful... but is especially important now. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Notice when you are digging your heals in about something, this is usually a sign that you have some underlying anxiety about something else. Again, take a deep breath, get centered in your body, close your eyes and focus on your third eye. </span>\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">What am I afraid of happening?</span> How might I channel this restless energy into projects that are asking for progress? How might I channel, or just burn off, all this erratic energy? What kind of exercise might be an energetic match? Where am I stagnating? Where am I able to take innovative action?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or personal planets in </i><i>27-29 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn,</i></b><i> or 0-</i><i>3 </i><i>degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>?

Seeking a larger understanding, we speak our truth, but temper it with adult caution and moderation. The reality of our beliefs gets clearer and our thought processes are more realistic.

When it comes to love, be gentle with each other -- and make sure to talk about your feelings.\r\n\r\nWith regards to our finances, it\'s best to stick to what feels safest and most secure.

What is our favorite thing until Tuesday late afternoon? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early morning: </strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Slowing down a little and focusing on what\'s right in front of us that needs to be taken care of, so we can get to the next phase of what we are trying to accomplish, is most beneficial for the next couple of hours.</span> <span style=\"color: #993300;\">(Moon in <strong>Taurus</strong> trines Saturn in <strong>Capricorn at 4:58am EDT -- post at 4am EDT)</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late afternoon, </strong>we have an opportunity to meet our need for physical comfort with a gentler, more intuitive approach. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">(Moon in <strong>Taurus</strong> sextiles Neptune in <strong>Pisces at 5:44pm EDT -- post at 3:45pm EDT)</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday evening,</strong> <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">we are being asked to<strong> </strong>balance our need for physical comfort and security with our desire for deeper emotional connections with ourselves and others. What might be possible if we could integrate one with the other? What if we could see the bigger picture?</span> <span style=\"color: #993300;\">(Moon in <strong>Taurus</strong> opposes Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio at 8:08pm EDT -- post at 6pm EDT)</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday </strong>is also the <i>last day before the New Moon</i> becomes exact. This is a great day to let go of what no longer serves us. As best as you can, avoid jumping the gun: Rather than launching into brand-new endeavors or connections, wait until a couple of days has passed after the New Moon. Some of us might feel a little anxious or nervous today: As best as you can, get quiet and go within… Listen to the silence between the sounds… Find peace in the connection with your innermost and truest Self.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (15th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus</strong></em> <strong>until 4:43pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 7:48am EDT</strong>, the <i>New Moon in 24.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> becomes exact. This marks the beginning of a new Moon cycle. As best as you can, get really quiet, and see if you are getting any new messages or ideas. If you are, harvest them, and fold them into any intentions you set for the new Moon cycle -- I will talk about this process later in the forecast, and I’ll even give you the very best and most potent times for doing it :-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Click here to watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/IvgN28_yRKc\r\n\r\n<i>This New Moon in steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> places more focus on our interactions with the physical world -- you could say that we seek a healthier relationship with “matter\", one in which we are neither too attached, or too disconnected from our bodies, resources (such as money), and the planet we co-inhabit. We are powerfully reminded to take the time to honor the only planet we can currently live on — The Earth — we are called on to honor its resources and beauty.\r\n\r\nIn much the same spirit, we are invited also to honor ourselves, our bodies, our talents. This is a good time for reevaluating our relationship to money and possessions, and for discovering what truly makes us happy and fulfilled. Check in with yourself: What came to mind when you read this?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon trines Mars and Pluto in </i><b><i>Capricorn. </i></b>This combo promotes a realistic and responsible long-term approach. We have the chance to better align our goals with our values; it\'s easier for us to sustain what we have started, and bring a heightened sense of commitment to it all.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I am completely honest, what do I truly want for myself long-term? What really matters to me? If I felt the need to connect to something in a passionate way, what might that be? What truly fulfills me? And what modest step could I take today to move towards my goals?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus, </i>the ruler of Taurus, <i>moves through </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> at the time of the New Moon. This reminds us to learn and discuss Taurean issues: resources, appreciation of physical matter, natural beauty etc.\r\n\r\nThe spiritual quest of <b>Gemini</b>, on the other hand, concerns the development of perception, thought, and communication. As the creative power of the feminine, Venus in Gemini represents <i>the \"bringing together of opposites\" -- </i>people with different values, for example.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> When I picture this, what do I see? What might this look like in my various communities? How about within my relationships? Could exploring duality help me understand different points of views? Might curiosity be a vital tool in all of this? If so, what could I get curious about? What would 5% more flexibility do for my ability to relate to others?\r\n\r\nAnother thing worth mentioning: <i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>also</i> <i>makes a</i> <i>\"mutual reception\" to Mercury in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> <b><i>--</i></b> in other words, these planets are in each other\'s signs until May 19th; during that time, they \"mutually\" support each other\'s agenda. This gives us the opportunity to connect mind and heart.\r\n\r\nWe seek out mental stimulation: teaching, learning, writing, collecting and processing information, etc.... and we want to share the output in practical ways, applying it to the real world and ourselves, our values, and our physical experience of life.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, allow yourself to take your time processing things that you just started engaging with. In the meantime, stay open to learning, remain curious, and remember that every teacher is also a student and vice versa.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What if I listened to myself 5% more? What if I had 5% more faith that I\'d be heard? What might I discover about my thinking processes and my value? Is it possible my value doesn\'t need to be \"earned\"? What if, without my being alive, nothing else could be as it is?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus, in the last degree of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, makes a square to Mars in the last degree of </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b>at the time of the New Moon (more about this square when it becomes exact on Wednesday). As some of you already know, when a planet is the last degree of a sign, its energy is more exalted, as it knows that a shift is coming -- you could say that the rumbling of its vibration gets louder.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What am I waking to? Where do I need to assert myself? How might I do that while still keeping what I want to create long-term in view? What has been holding me back? What am I ready to address and change? What needs to happen so I can move forward in a mature fashion?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus moves into </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact (more on that below) -- starting its preview through this peace-loving, sensual sign until early November of this year -- I say \"preview\", because Uranus will return to <b>Taurus</b> in March, 2019, for a 7 year-transit. These next 28 days will be ripe with shifts and changes, so stay centered in the here and now, expect the unexpected and allow yourself to make an inner shift -- as this paves the way for an outer shift. Flexibility is key!\r\n\r\nWe went over this upcoming shift in more detail in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how Uranus\'s journey through Taurus until 2026 impacts you personally, feel free to get the 120 min. long webinar on the subject; <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product-category/webinars/\">for more info or to purchase, click here</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/UqfQLJ\">https://goo.gl/UqfQLJ</a> The fee for this is only $37, even though the webinar is 30 minutes longer than my usual webinars -- partly because we also cover Chiron\'s journey through Aries until 2027.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">You can also check out a brief excerpt of this webinar, here:</a> <a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">https://goo.gl/844ZMG</a> Enjoy ;-) I also offer a <strong>Special Offer this month</strong>: sign up for Star or SuperStar Membership <strong>by May 31st</strong> (or upgrade from Universal to Star Membership via \"My Account\"), and get this webinar for FREE! If you are already a Star or SuperStar Member check your email for the link of this webinar -- it was emailed to you on April 30th ;-)\r\n\r\nThink back over the last 7 years (i.e. March 2011 - May 2018), while Uranus was in <b>Aries</b>, and <b>ask yourself: </b>Where did I make progress on my goals and desires? What structures needed to be renewed for me to break through and find a new or unique approach to who I\'m being? Do some of those structures actually need to break down? What self-realizations make me stand out and go after things in a more original way? How did this 7-year transit through Aries support my vision?\r\n\r\nIf you have a Birth chart, and know what to look for, look to see what Houses are connected to the <b>Aries</b> energy -- and if that sounds like I\'m talking a foreign language, feel free to watch my video: <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">How to Read Your Birth Chart</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/KMmUUz\">https://goo.gl/KMmUUz</a> <i>or</i> join our next Forecasting Forum on <b>May 31st at 7pm EDT</b>, and ask me your questions there. We will cover the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that starts in June -- that will also be connected to Aries in your chart -- I will definitely explain this in great detail in the Forum ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> conjuncts Uranus in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> -- this alignment is exact on May 13th, in 29º of Aries, two days before the New Moon becomes exact<i>.</i><b><i> </i></b>This could bring some exciting possibilities, perhaps even a leap forward in the evolution of our consciousness, with flashes of insight into our own mental workings and some original thoughts coming through, etc.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, and as much as you want to (of course), stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What might a true breakthrough look like? What insights am I receiving? What is it I\'m learning about myself every day that might change my whole perspective?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury also makes a trine to Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>. With Saturn</i> being a part of the equation it is important for us to learn something new using a mature and realistic approach.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What concrete, practical plans could I make? Could I allow myself to take it one step at a time, staying grounded in the here and now? What does a truthful, realistic alignment with long-term goals look like to me?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> trines Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>at the time of the New Moon, bringing the potential for spiritual inspiration -- and it\'s a great time for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>How might more trust and empathy help my perception of intimate relationships? What might be possible for me if I allowed for things to unfold? What if I allowed myself to see the perfection in everything that I perceive right here, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> It is important to remember that we are part of nature, just like a tree, or an ocean -- our actions and interactions with the only home we have will change it, for good or ill. We are also developing an increasingly profound conscious awareness over the next 28 days that connects us to all that is alive.\r\n\r\nTo bring all this together,<b> ask yourself:</b> What baby steps could I take for the planet I co-inhabit? What would show my love and appreciation? What do I sense when I get very quiet and tune into my own energy field and the energy all around me? What really matters to my heart?\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <i>not</i> during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions </i>would be <b>between</b> <b>7:48am on Tuesday, May 15th and <strong>7:48am EDT Thursday morning (May 17th).</strong></b>\r\n\r\n<i>Note</i> however, that there is a brief <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a><b> on Tuesday afternoon; it starts at 4:30pm and ends at 4:43pm EDT. </b><i>Don’t</i> set your intentions during those 13 minutes — instead, allow intuition to surface possible intentions while you wait.

I will be posting reminders on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday morning to let you know that it\'s the best time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nWhen setting intentions, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> What might shift if I focused 5% more on the beauty that already surrounds me?<i> </i>What might open up if I truly valued curiosity and open-mindedness? What if I learned to listen right past my conditioning and opinions? What if I took my time to respond? What might my heart want me to say? <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Again, feel free to also watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/IvgN28_yRKc\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 22-27 degrees of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>?

Mars will be stationing in Aquarius, and retrograding back into Capricorn. What does this mean for our current Healing journey of our masculine energies?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how to align yourself with this planetary movement, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation.

How could you move that to the next level? <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nDuring these times, when Mars travels through Aquarius, we enjoy surprising ourselves and others. The tried-and-true methods of getting things done are far too boring for us right now. We are looking for unique and original goals, and we tend to have a rather original, forward-thinking view of the world now. \"<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Progress\" is one of our favorite words! What if you suddenly said to yourself: \"How could I surprise the \"old me\" today?\", when you were least expecting it?</span> ;-)\r\n\r\nMental and intellectual pursuits are important to us now. The Aquarian ideal of equality is strong with this position, so we also place a lot of value in freedom and individuality -- our own <i>and</i> that of others. With Mars in this fixed sign, we will definitely need our independence, especially in personal relationships -- and we are not easily pushed around. It\'s best to give ourselves and others lots of space; if we feel boxed in, we may rebel or act contrary.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nIn general, we may feel a desire to push our agenda on others -- not in an aggressive way, though... more in a creative manner. As best as you can, bring a sense of openness to your approach to people and situations. Be aware of feeling superior to others: if you find yourself thinking that someone is less \"special\" than you, put your hand over your heart and ask \"what would my heart say to this?\"\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more detached, forward-thinking and freedom-loving. You may want to change things in your life that have outlived their use. If you are an </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 12.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mars/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:04am EDT. This is the first Mars/Uranus Square of the year in the fixed signs (Aquarius/Taurus). <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last week Monday (May 7th), it will remain strong until next week Friday (May 25th). </strong>This aspect asks us to get in touch with our desires and break away from anything that is holding us back. Passions and anger that we may not even know we had may emerge at this time.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Uranus urges us to let go of the past and focus on a better future.</span> We may feel restless and impatient; we can be very demanding and difficult to please. We tend to feel like progress is too slow and we are tired of waiting. This could be an explosive time, as our inner rebel issues<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>emotional challenges, while outer \"reality\" demands we change course.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, if you are the kind of person that doesn\'t go in for asserting themselves, this is an excellent time to try it out ;-) Do your best not to burn all your bridges, especially with any males in your family or in your various communities. We may also experience an awakening of sorts in regards to our sexuality.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAccidents are unusually likely (though not inevitable), especially if our levels of activity and energy are erratic; to prevent this, stay as grounded as possible and keep breathing! Flexibility and open-mindedness is always helpful... but is especially important now. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Notice when you are digging your heals in about something, this is usually a sign that you have some underlying anxiety about something else. Again, take a deep breath, get centered in your body, close your eyes and focus on your third eye. </span>\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">What am I afraid of happening?</span> How might I channel this restless energy into projects that are asking for progress? How might I channel, or just burn off, all this erratic energy? What kind of exercise might be an energetic match? Where am I stagnating? Where am I able to take innovative action?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or personal planets in </i><i>27-29 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn,</i></b><i> or 0-</i><i>3 </i><i>degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>?

Make sure though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, otherwise you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (May 18th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday late afternoon/early evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday early afternoon</strong>, <em>a harmonious Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:49pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening (May 16th) on, it will remain strong until Sunday (May 20th). </strong>It will help to interact with integrity and commitment. We can set aside unrealistic views and make concrete, practical plans, that help us explore our long-term goals.  <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe “get to the point” -- no wasted time or words. Seeking a larger understanding, we speak our truth, but temper it with adult caution and moderation. The reality of our beliefs gets clearer and our thought processes are more realistic. It is important for us to learn something new -- with a mature attitude.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>5-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (May 19th)</strong>:<em> the Moon remains in protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer</strong></em> <strong>until 7:11pm EDT</strong> (see Thursday early evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday morning at 9:11am EDT</strong>, <i style=\"font-style: italic;\">Venus changes signs from chatty, versatile &amp; curious</i><i> </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Gemini</strong><i style=\"font-style: italic;\"> to protective, nurturing </i><strong><i>Cancer, </i></strong>where she will journey <strong>until June 13th; </strong> for those 4 weeks, we value family, loved ones, our home, emotional safety -- and real-estate dealings.\r\n\r\nWe prefer to be around safe, familiar people and places. We\'d rather stay home than socialize; if we do go out, we much prefer dinner parties at someone\'s home to dining out. When it comes to love, be gentle with each other -- and make sure to talk about your feelings.\r\n\r\nWith regards to our finances, it\'s best to stick to what feels safest and most secure. It\'s a favorable time for real-estate and interior design, or anything that makes the home more comfortable and livable.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel more shy for the next 4 weeks. Your heart will want to connect to family and loved ones. If you are a</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to have more love and beauty in your life, for as long as Venus is in your sign ;-)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:30pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening (May 17th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Monday morning (May 21st). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This gives us the opportunity to experiment with how we relate to others -- to do something different or unusual -- freedom plays a big part in this aspect.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Of course, others are experimenting too, so you might experience some unusual or unexpected interactions during this time -- it\'s a favorable time for social meetings and events. As best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through your relationships.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We\'re also ready to experiment with our financial undertakings -- good places to look: all things \"tech\" (electronics, technology, internet); metaphysics; the arts; group activities.

We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-) </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?</span></p>\r\nAgain, today<strong> (Saturday),  </strong><span class=\"s1\">it\'s <i>time to actions on our New Moon intentions</i>: if you set Intentions Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday morning -- after the New Moon became exact -- today <strong>before 5:14pm </strong>and<strong> after 7:11pm EDT, </strong>will be the best time to take relevant actions.

Remember: this is an \"opportunity\" -- those aren\'t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in the following: <span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">29 degrees of</span> <b>Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus, Scorpio, </b><span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">or<b> </b>0-4 degrees</span> of</i><b><i> Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>?

If we can bring compassion and a different point of view to these issues, we will reach a new understanding of ourselves and our life journey.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We have the opportunity to learn from one another; ironically though, we may also feel insecure around others. Whenever Chiron is involved, we are being asked to do some healing work. As best as you can, use this time to learn about your sore spots. Nobody is perfect: we all have our flaws and idiosyncrasies. It\'s ok.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you get triggered by someone, as best as you can, take it as an opportunity to see where this trigger originated -- probably in your childhood. Bring love and compassion to yourself, as you are, and as you were (i.e. your \"wounded child\"). Allow <i>any</i> feelings this may stir up in you. A feeling is just energy that wants to be experienced, and honored; it wants to move through us and out.\r\n</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The more we resist our feelings, the more we keep them spinning in place. As best as you can, move from the head to the heart. What might change, if you showed 5% more compassion toward your inner wounded child?

I\'m running this special during my birthday week only :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>To take advantage of the special offer,</strong><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/coaching/\"> click here</a> and add one or more coaching sessions -- and when you get to your shopping cart, enter coupon code <strong>BIRTHDAY_GIFT</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>PS:</strong> If you holding back because you can\'t do a session this week, don\'t worry -- you can schedule it anytime between now and Nov. 2018 -- and if you want to stock up at this super-low price, go ahead and use the code on multiple sessions ;-) Looking forward to connecting and supporting you!\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: We have several planets changing signs this week -- Uranus (from Aries to Taurus, where it will journey for almost 8 years), Mars (from Capricorn to Aquarius); Venus (from Gemini to Cancer) and last but not least, the Sun (from Taurus to Gemini).\r\n\r\nIn addition, the New Moon in Taurus becomes exact on Tuesday, and there will be four <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: Tuesday late afternoon (for almost 15 minutes), Thursday afternoon (3.5 hours), Saturday late afternoon (2 hours), and Sunday late evening (22.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (May 14th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Taurus</strong></em><strong> all day. </strong>We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.\r\n\r\nIn other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing until Tuesday late afternoon? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early morning: </strong>The best way to handle the first few hours of Monday (if you\'re awake) is to slow down a little and focus on what\'s sitting right in front of you, that needs to be taken care of, so you can get to the next phase of accomplishment.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late afternoon, </strong>we have an opportunity to...\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\r\n<strong>ALREADY A MEMBER?

If there was a way to satisfy both desires at once, what would that look like? What does the bigger picture look like?<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday </strong>is also the <i>last day before the New Moon</i> becomes exact. This is a great day to let go of what no longer serves us. As best as you can, avoid jumping the gun: Rather than launching into brand-new endeavors or connections, wait until a couple of days has passed after the New Moon. Some of us might feel a little anxious or nervous today: As best as you can, get quiet and go within… Listen to the silence between the sounds… Find peace in the connection with your innermost and truest Self.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (15th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus</strong></em> <strong>until 4:43pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 7:48am EDT</strong>, the <i>New Moon in 24.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> becomes exact. This marks the beginning of a new Moon cycle. As best as you can, get really quiet, and see if you are getting any new messages or ideas. If you are, harvest them, and fold them into any intentions you set for the new Moon cycle -- I will talk about this process later in the forecast, and I’ll even give you the very best and most potent times for doing it :-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Click here to watch my video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\n<i>This New Moon in steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> places more focus on our interactions with the physical world -- you could say that we seek a healthier relationship with “matter\", one in which we are neither too attached, or too disconnected from our bodies, resources (such as money), and the planet we co-inhabit. We are powerfully reminded to take the time to honor the only planet we can currently live on — The Earth — we are called on to honor its resources and beauty.\r\n\r\nIn much the same spirit, we are invited also to honor ourselves, our bodies, our talents. This is a good time for reevaluating our relationship to money and possessions, and for discovering what truly makes us happy and fulfilled. Check in with yourself: What came to mind when you read this?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon trines Mars and Pluto in </i><b><i>Capricorn. </i></b>This combo promotes a realistic and responsible long-term approach. We have the chance to better align our goals with our values; it\'s easier for us to sustain what we have started, and bring a heightened sense of commitment to it all.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I am completely honest, what do I truly want for myself long-term? What really matters to me? If I felt the need to connect to something in a passionate way, what might that be? What truly fulfills me? And what modest step could I take today to move towards my goals?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus, </i>the ruler of Taurus, <i>moves through </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> at the time of the New Moon. This reminds us to learn and discuss Taurean issues: resources, appreciation of physical matter, natural beauty etc.\r\n\r\nThe spiritual quest of <b>Gemini</b>, on the other hand, concerns the development of perception, our powers of thought, and communication. As the creative power of the feminine, Venus in Gemini represents <i>the \"bringing together of opposites\" -- </i>people with different values, for example.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> When I picture this, what do I see? What might this look like in my various communities? How about within my relationships? Could exploring duality help me understand different points of views? Might curiosity be a vital tool in all of this? If so, what could I get curious about? What would 5% more flexibility do for my ability to relate to others?\r\n\r\nAnother thing worth mentioning: <i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>also</i> <i>makes a</i> <i>\"mutual reception\" to Mercury in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> <b><i>--</i></b> in other words, these planets are in each other\'s signs until May 19th; during that time, they \"mutually\" support each other\'s agenda. This gives us the opportunity to connect mind and heart.\r\n\r\nWe seek out mental stimulation: teaching, learning, writing, collecting and processing information, etc.... and we want to share the output in practical ways, applying it to the real world and ourselves, our values, and our physical experience of life.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, allow yourself to take your time processing things that you just started engaging with. In the meantime, stay open to learning, remain curious, and remember that every teacher is also a student and vice versa.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What if I listened to myself 5% more? What if I had 5% more faith that I\'d be heard? What might I discover about my thinking processes and my value? Is it possible my value doesn\'t need to be \"earned\"? What if, without my being alive, nothing else could be as it is?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus, in the last degree of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, makes a square to Mars in the last degree of </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b>at the time of the New Moon (more about this square when it becomes exact on Wednesday). As some of you already know, when a planet is the last degree of a sign, its energy is more exalted, as it knows that a shift is coming -- you could say that the rumbling of its vibration gets louder.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What am I waking to? Where do I need to assert myself? How might I do that while still keeping what I want to create long-term in view? What has been holding me back? What am I ready to address and change? What needs to happen so I can move forward in a mature fashion?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus moves into </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact (more on that below) -- starting its preview through this peace-loving, sensual sign until early November of this year -- I say \"preview\", because Uranus will return to <b>Taurus</b> in March 2019, for a 7 year-transit. These next 28 days will be ripe with shifts and changes, so stay centered in the here and now, expect the unexpected and allow yourself to make an inner shift -- as this paves the way for an outer shift. Flexibility is key!\r\n\r\nWe went over this upcoming shift in more detail in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how Uranus\'s journey through Taurus until 2026 impacts you personally, feel free to get the 120 min. long webinar on the subject; <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product-category/webinars/\">for more info or to purchase, click here </a>The fee for this is only $37, even though the webinar is 30 minutes longer than my usual webinars -- partly because we also cover Chiron\'s journey through Aries until 2027.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">You can also check out a brief excerpt of this webinar, here</a> Enjoy ;-) I also offer a <strong>Special Offer this month</strong>: sign up for Star or SuperStar Membership <strong>by May 31st</strong> (or upgrade from Universal to Star Membership via \"My Account\"), and get this webinar for FREE! If you are already a Star or SuperStar Member check your email for the link to this webinar -- it was emailed to you on April 30th ;-)\r\n\r\nThink back over the last 7 years (i.e. March 2011 - May 2018), while Uranus was in <b>Aries</b>, and <b>ask yourself: </b>Where did I make progress on my goals and desires? What structures needed to be renewed for me to break through and find a new or unique approach to who I\'m being? Do some of those structures actually need to break down? What self-realizations make me stand out and go after things in a more original way? How did this 7-year transit through Aries support my vision?\r\n\r\nIf you have a Birth chart, and know what to look for, look to see what Houses are connected to the <b>Aries</b> energy -- and if that sounds like I\'m talking a foreign language, feel free to watch my video: <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">How to Read Your Birth Chart</a> <i>or</i> <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">join our next Forecasting Forum</a> on <b>May 31st at 7pm EDT</b>, and ask me your questions there. We will cover the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that starts in June -- that will also be connected to Aries in your chart -- I will definitely explain this in great detail in the Forum ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> conjuncts Uranus in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> -- this alignment is exact on May 13th, in 29º of Aries, two days before the New Moon becomes exact<i>.</i><b><i> </i></b>This could bring some exciting possibilities, perhaps even a leap forward in the evolution of our consciousness, with flashes of insight into our own mental workings and some original thoughts coming through, etc.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, and as much as you want to (of course), stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What might a true breakthrough look like? What insights am I receiving? What is it I\'m learning about myself every day that might change my whole perspective?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury also makes a trine to Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>. With Saturn</i> being a part of the equation it is important for us to learn something new using a mature and realistic approach.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What concrete, practical plans could I make? Could I allow myself to take it one step at a time, staying grounded in the here and now? What does a truthful, realistic alignment with long-term goals look like to me?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> trines Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>at the time of the New Moon, bringing the potential for spiritual inspiration -- and it\'s a great time for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>How might more trust and empathy help my perception of intimate relationships? What might be possible for me if I allowed for things to unfold? What if I allowed myself to see the perfection in everything that I perceive right here, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> It is important to remember that we are part of nature, just like a tree, or an ocean -- our actions and interactions with the only home we have will change it, for good or ill. We are also developing an increasingly profound conscious awareness over the next 28 days that connects us to all that is alive.\r\n\r\nTo bring all this together,<b> ask yourself:</b> What baby steps could I take for the planet I co-inhabit? What would show my love and appreciation? What do I sense when I get very quiet and tune into my own energy field and the energy all around me? What really matters to my heart?\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <i>not</i> during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions </i>would be <b>between</b> <b>7:48am on Tuesday, May 15th and <strong>7:48am EDT Thursday morning (May 17th).</strong></b>\r\n\r\n<i>Note</i>, however, that there is a brief <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a><b> on Tuesday afternoon -- it runs from 4:30pm until 4:43pm EDT. </b><i>Don’t</i> set your intentions during those 13 minutes — instead, allow intuition to surface possible intentions while you wait.

I will be posting reminders on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday morning to let you know that it\'s the best time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nWhen setting intentions, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> What might shift if I focused 5% more on the beauty that already surrounds me?<i> </i>What might open up if I truly valued curiosity and open-mindedness? What if I learned to listen right past my conditioning and opinions? What if I took my time to respond? What might my heart want me to say? <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Again, feel free to also watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/IvgN28_yRKc\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 22-27 degrees of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>On Tuesday late morning, at 11:16am EDT</strong>,<em> Uranus changes signs from pioneering, fast-paced <strong>Aries</strong> to steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until November 6th.</strong>.\r\n\r\nThis is actually a \"preview\" of Uranus\'s coming 8-year transit through Taurus. I\'ll be posting a members-only essay on this major shift, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/uranus-in-taurus…actical-progress/ ‎\">click here to read it.</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in 0-2.5 degrees of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <i>will feel the impact of this first pass into Taurus  more than others. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> (Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius). Also: Uranus was  also in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> 8 3 years ago. If you were born 1935-1942, you will have a Uranus Return within the next 8 years.</i>  A new cycle begins in your individual journey towards creative Soul-Expression.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 4:30pm EDT</strong>, we enter a brief <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 13 minutes, <strong>until 4:43pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to take small steps on projects already underway -- or simply take a break and do a set of Sun Salutations or push-ups ;-)\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 4:43pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters chatty, versatile <strong>Gemini,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Thursday late afternoon/early evening. </strong>For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way…\r\n\r\nThe one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 16th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Gemini</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\nTuesday night/<strong>Wednesday very early morning at 12:55am EDT,</strong> <i>Mars changes signs from practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Capricorn</strong><i> to freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><strong><i>Aquarius</i>, </strong>where it<em> </em>will journey for an unusually long time, <strong>until August 12th. </strong>Due to the upcoming Mars retrograde phase that begins in the end of June, Mars will journey through<strong> Aquarius </strong>one more time,<strong> from Sept. 10th - Nov. 15th.</strong>\r\n\r\nI will be talking about the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that begins in June in my next Forecasting Forum. Mars will be stationing in Aquarius, and retrograding back into Capricorn. What does this mean for the current Healing journey of our masculine energies?\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how to align yourself with this planetary movement, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation.

How could you move that to the next level? \r\n\r\nDuring these times, when Mars travels through Aquarius, we enjoy surprising ourselves and others. The tried-and-true methods of getting things done are far too boring for us right now. We are looking for unique and original goals, and we tend to take a more original, forward-thinking view of the world now. What if, when you were least expecting it, you suddenly asked yourself \"How could I surprise the \"old me\" today?\" ;-)\r\n\r\nMental and intellectual pursuits are important to us now. The Aquarian ideal of equality is strong with this position, so we also place a lot of value in freedom and individuality -- our own <i>and</i> that of others. With Mars in this fixed sign, we will definitely need our independence, especially in personal relationships -- and we are not easily pushed around. It\'s best to give ourselves and others lots of space; if we feel boxed in, we may rebel or act contrary.\r\n\r\nIn general, we may feel a desire to push our agenda on others -- not in an aggressive way, though... more in a creative manner. As best as you can, bring a sense of openness to your approach to people and situations. Be aware of feeling superior to others: if you find yourself thinking that someone is less \"special\" than you, put your hand over your heart and ask \"what would my heart say to this?\"\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more detached, forward-thinking and freedom-loving. You may want to change things in your life that have outlived their use. If you are an </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 12.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mars/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:04am EDT. This is the first Mars/Uranus Square of the year in the fixed signs (Aquarius/Taurus). <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last week Monday (May 7th), it will remain strong until next week Friday (May 25th). </strong>This aspect asks us to get in touch with our desires and break away from anything that is holding us back. Passions and anger that we may not even know we had may emerge at this time.\r\n\r\nUranus urges us to let go of the past and focus on a better future. We may feel restless and impatient; we can be very demanding and difficult to please. We tend to feel like progress is too slow and we are tired of waiting. This could be an explosive time, as our inner rebel issues emotional challenges, while outer \"reality\" demands we change course.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, if you are the kind of person that doesn\'t go in for asserting themselves, this is an excellent time to try it out ;-) Do your best not to burn all your bridges, especially with any males in your family or in your various communities. We may also experience an awakening of sorts in regards to our sexuality.\r\n\r\nAccidents are unusually likely (though not inevitable), especially if our levels of activity and energy are erratic; to prevent this, stay as grounded as possible and keep breathing! Flexibility and open-mindedness are always helpful but are especially important now. Notice when you are digging your heels in about something, this is usually a sign that you have some underlying anxiety about something else; again, take a deep breath, get centered in your body, close your eyes and focus on your third eye.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What am I afraid of happening? How might I channel this restless energy into projects that are asking for progress? How might I channel, or just burn off, all this erratic energy? What kind of exercise might be an energetic match? Where am I stagnating? Where am I able to take innovative action?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or personal planets in </i><i>27-29 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn,</i></b><i> or 0-</i><i>3 </i><i>degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>?

You may also want to plan Thursday afternoon until early evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 5:47pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Saturday evening</strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it -- otherwise, you risk becoming drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (May 18th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday late afternoon/early evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday early afternoon</strong>, <em>a harmonious Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:49pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening (May 16th) on, it will remain strong until Sunday (May 20th). </strong>It will help to interact with integrity and commitment. We can set aside unrealistic views and make concrete, practical plans, that help us explore our long-term goals.  <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe “get to the point” with no wasted time or words. Seeking a larger understanding, we speak our truth but temper it with adult caution and moderation. The reality of our beliefs gets clearer and our thought processes are more realistic. It is important for us to learn something new, with a mature attitude.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>5-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? Or perhaps you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn?</i></b><i> If so, you will likely be more blessed by this aspect.</i>\r\n\r\nAlso on<strong> Friday late afternoon, it\'s <i>time to take actions on our New Moon intentions</i>: if you set Intentions Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning -- after the New Moon became exact -- today and tomorrow (Saturday) <strong>before 5:14pm </strong>and<strong> after 7:11pm EDT, </strong>will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (May 19th)</strong>:<em> the Moon remains in protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer</strong></em> <strong>until 7:11pm EDT</strong> (see Thursday early evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday morning at 9:11am EDT</strong>, <i style=\"font-style: italic;\">Venus changes signs from chatty, versatile &amp; curious</i><i> </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Gemini</strong><i style=\"font-style: italic;\"> to protective, nurturing </i><strong><i>Cancer, </i></strong>where she will journey <strong>until June 13th; </strong> for those 4 weeks, we value family, loved ones, our home, emotional safety -- and real-estate dealings.\r\n\r\nWe prefer to be around safe, familiar people and places. We\'d rather stay home than socialize; if we do go out, we much prefer dinner parties at someone\'s home to dining out. When it comes to love, be gentle with each other -- and make sure to talk about your feelings.\r\n\r\nWith regards to our finances, it\'s best to stick to what feels safest and most secure. It\'s a favorable time for real-estate and interior design, or anything that makes the home more comfortable and livable.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel more shy for the next 4 weeks. Your heart will want to connect with family and loved ones. If you are a</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to have more love and beauty in your life, for as long as Venus is in your sign ;-)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:30pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening (May 17th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Monday morning (May 21st). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This gives us the opportunity to experiment with how we relate to others -- to do something different or unusual -- freedom plays a big part in this aspect.\r\n\r\nOf course, others are experimenting too, so you might experience some unusual or unexpected interactions during this time -- it\'s a favorable time for social meetings and events. As best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through your relationships.\r\n\r\nWe\'re also ready to experiment with our financial undertakings -- good places to look: all things \"tech\" (electronics, technology, internet); metaphysics; the arts; group activities. This is not the best time to make long-term financial investments not suggested in an intuitive flash ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 28-29 degrees of <strong>Gemini</strong></i><b><i>, Aries, Leo, </i></b><b><i>Aquarius, </i></b><i>or 0-2 degrees of <strong>Cancer, Taurus, Pisces, </strong>or<strong> Virgo</strong></i><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, Uranus rules Aquarius).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 5:14pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 2 hours, <strong>until 7:11pm EDT</strong>. This intuitive time is an opportunity to connect with family around shared values -- and perhaps also to take a look at your household finances...\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday late afternoon and evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 7:11pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday late evening</strong>. <span class=\"s1\">We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)\r\n\r\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are also a big part of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. \r\n\r\nIf there are no children around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\nAgain, today<strong> (Saturday),  </strong>it\'s <i>time to take actions on our New Moon intentions</i>: if you set Intentions Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning -- after the New Moon became exact -- today <strong>before 5:14pm </strong>and<strong> after 7:11pm EDT, </strong>will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 20th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Saturday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning</strong>, <em>an opportune Mars/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:55am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Monday (May 14th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Friday (May 25th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This is an opportunity to accept the validity of our anger and desire so that we can learn to express these energies naturally and confidently.\r\n\r\nThis could also inspire us to make resolutions and take actions towards healing our emotional and spiritual wounds. Remember: this is an \"opportunity\" -- those aren\'t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in the following: 29 degrees of <b>Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus, Scorpio, </b>or<b> </b>0-4 degrees of</i><b><i> Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, </i></span><span class=\"s1\"><i>you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Aries </i></b><i>(Mars rules Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late afternoon</strong>, <em>a challenging Venus/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:24pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday night (May 17th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Wednesday (May 23rd). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This aspect asks us to stretch past injuries and insecurities in our relationships, self-worth, and finances. If we can bring compassion and a different point of view to bear on these issues, we will reach a new understanding of ourselves and our life journey.\r\n\r\nWe have the opportunity to learn from one another; ironically though, we may also feel insecure around others. Whenever Chiron is involved, we are being asked to do some healing work. As best as you can, use this time to learn about your sore spots. Nobody is perfect: we all have our flaws and idiosyncrasies. It\'s ok.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you get triggered by someone, as best as you can, take it as an opportunity to see where this trigger originated -- probably in your childhood. Bring love and compassion to yourself, as you are, and as you were (i.e. your \"wounded child\"). Allow <i>any</i> feelings this may stir up in you. A feeling is just energy that wants to be experienced, and honored; it wants to move through us and out.\r\n\r\nThe more we resist our feelings, the more we keep them spinning in place. As best as you can, move from the head to the heart: What might change, if you showed 5% more compassion toward your inner wounded child? What if you just decided to take an active part in the healing process?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: 28-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i>0-5 degrees of </i><b><i>Cancer, Aries, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 10:06pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from early morning (May 20th) on, it will remain strong until Monday evening (May 21st). </strong><span class=\"s1\">We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward; we need to make a choice. We need to develop inner awareness, so we can make adjustments.\r\n\r\nThis might concern compromising with others. Our enthusiasm might make us impatient or hasty with others. Our values may not be in alignment with those we work with. As best as you can, keep choosing the \"better\" alternative, adjusting as needed.\r\n\r\nWhen life slows down, or becomes uncomfortable, simplify and be patient. We are changing and growing in ways that we can\'t comprehend right now. Stay as open and observant as you can.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-3 degrees of</i><b><i> Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> (Venus rules Taurus and Libra; Mars rules Aries)\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening at 10:15pm EDT</strong>,the Sun changes signs from steady, sensual</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>to versatile, fast-thinking</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b>. It will journey through Gemini <b>until June 21st.</b> With the Sun in Gemini, the urge for self-expression is strong. We may be extra interested in collecting and sharing information. This is a time when curiosity and adaptability are favored. We are more flexible, changeable and adaptable -- which makes us quite social as well.\r\n\r\nWe enjoy intellectual conversations and we can easily become bored if we are not getting enough mental stimulation at this time. We are more objective and observant but prefer to keep things light and easy. There is usually a nervousness in the air at this time as well, as we are constantly seeking to connect and have new interactions. “Sharing” is the name of the game.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Gemini, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo, your vitality will most likely speed up and you feel more chatty than usual.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 11:30 pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 22.5 hours, <strong>until 10:03pm EDT </strong>(Monday late evening, May 21st). We are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we feel a strong need to have fun and be creative or self-expressed.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, we want to explore deep, authentic -- even intimate -- connections to ourselves or others. Do your best to use this intuitive time to make adjustments, slow things down a little, and find creative solutions that honor both drives.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday late evening and Monday all day ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>A heads-up for next Monday (May 21st)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a>, <strong>until 10:03pm EDT</strong>. <strong>Also on Monday at 11:49pm EDT</strong>, <em>the first Quarter Moon in 1 degree of <strong>Virgo</strong> becomes exact</em>; the Moon in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in chatty, versatile <strong>Gemini</strong>.

Yahooooo! Bring it on! :-)\r\n\r\n<b>A quick announcement before we get started:</b><b>\r\n</b> Because it is <strong>my birthday this week</strong>, I wanted to give something of value, and I thought with all the changes that are coming, a <strong>30% discount</strong> on my 50-minute Coaching/Healing sessions would be a nice gift for everyone -- especially for those of you who are already doing monthly 25-minute Coaching/Healing sessions with me via the SuperStar Membership.

What is our favorite thing until Tuesday late afternoon? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early morning: </strong>The best way to handle the first few hours of Monday (if you\'re awake) is to slow down a little and focus on what\'s sitting right in front of you, that needs to be taken care of, so you can get to the next phase of accomplishment. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">(Moon in <strong>Taurus</strong> trines Saturn in <strong>Capricorn at 4:58am EDT -- post at 4am EDT)</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late afternoon, </strong>we have an opportunity to...\r\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">***</span><span class=\"s1\"><b>GET IT ALL!

This is a great day to let go of what no longer serves us. As best as you can, avoid jumping the gun: Rather than launching into brand-new endeavors or connections, wait until a couple of days has passed after the New Moon. Some of us might feel a little anxious or nervous today: As best as you can, get quiet and go within… Listen to the silence between the sounds… Find peace in the connection with your innermost and truest Self.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (15th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus</strong></em> <strong>until 4:43pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 7:48am EDT</strong>, the <i>New Moon in 24.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> becomes exact. This marks the beginning of a new Moon cycle. As best as you can, get really quiet, and see if you are getting any new messages or ideas. If you are, harvest them, and fold them into any intentions you set for the new Moon cycle -- I will talk about this process later in the forecast, and I’ll even give you the very best and most potent times for doing it :-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Click here to watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/IvgN28_yRKc\r\n\r\n<i>This New Moon in steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> places more focus on our interactions with the physical world -- you could say that we seek a healthier relationship with “matter\", one in which we are neither too attached, or too disconnected from our bodies, resources (such as money), and the planet we co-inhabit. We are powerfully reminded to take the time to honor the only planet we can currently live on — The Earth — we are called on to honor its resources and beauty.\r\n\r\nIn much the same spirit, we are invited also to honor ourselves, our bodies, our talents. This is a good time for reevaluating our relationship to money and possessions, and for discovering what truly makes us happy and fulfilled. Check in with yourself: What came to mind when you read this?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon trines Mars and Pluto in </i><b><i>Capricorn. </i></b>This combo promotes a realistic and responsible long-term approach. We have the chance to better align our goals with our values; it\'s easier for us to sustain what we have started, and bring a heightened sense of commitment to it all.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I am completely honest, what do I truly want for myself long-term? What really matters to me? If I felt the need to connect to something in a passionate way, what might that be? What truly fulfills me? And what modest step could I take today to move towards my goals?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus, </i>the ruler of Taurus, <i>moves through </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> at the time of the New Moon. This reminds us to learn and discuss Taurean issues: resources, appreciation of physical matter, natural beauty etc.\r\n\r\nThe spiritual quest of <b>Gemini</b>, on the other hand, concerns the development of perception, our powers of thought, and communication. As the creative power of the feminine, Venus in Gemini represents <i>the \"bringing together of opposites\" -- </i>people with different values, for example.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> When I picture this, what do I see? What might this look like in my various communities? How about within my relationships? Could exploring duality help me understand different points of views? Might curiosity be a vital tool in all of this? If so, what could I get curious about? What would 5% more flexibility do for my ability to relate to others?\r\n\r\nAnother thing worth mentioning: <i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>also</i> <i>makes a</i> <i>\"mutual reception\" to Mercury in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> <b><i>--</i></b> in other words, these planets are in each other\'s signs until May 19th; during that time, they \"mutually\" support each other\'s agenda. This gives us the opportunity to connect mind and heart.\r\n\r\nWe seek out mental stimulation: teaching, learning, writing, collecting and processing information, etc.... and we want to share the output in practical ways, applying it to the real world and ourselves, our values, and our physical experience of life.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, allow yourself to take your time processing things that you just started engaging with. In the meantime, stay open to learning, remain curious, and remember that every teacher is also a student and vice versa.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What if I listened to myself 5% more? What if I had 5% more faith that I\'d be heard? What might I discover about my thinking processes and my value? Is it possible my value doesn\'t need to be \"earned\"? What if, without my being alive, nothing else could be as it is?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus, in the last degree of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, makes a square to Mars in the last degree of </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b>at the time of the New Moon (more about this square when it becomes exact on Wednesday). As some of you already know, when a planet is the last degree of a sign, its energy is more exalted, as it knows that a shift is coming -- you could say that the rumbling of its vibration gets louder.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What am I waking to? Where do I need to assert myself? How might I do that while still keeping what I want to create long-term in view? What has been holding me back? What am I ready to address and change? What needs to happen so I can move forward in a mature fashion?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus moves into </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact (more on that below) -- starting its preview through this peace-loving, sensual sign until early November of this year -- I say \"preview\", because Uranus will return to <b>Taurus</b> in March 2019, for a 7 year-transit. These next 28 days will be ripe with shifts and changes, so stay centered in the here and now, expect the unexpected and allow yourself to make an inner shift -- as this paves the way for an outer shift. Flexibility is key!\r\n\r\nWe went over this upcoming shift in more detail in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how Uranus\'s journey through Taurus until 2026 impacts you personally, feel free to get the 120 min. long webinar on the subject; <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product-category/webinars/\">for more info or to purchase, click here</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/UqfQLJ\">https://goo.gl/UqfQLJ</a> The fee for this is only $37, even though the webinar is 30 minutes longer than my usual webinars -- partly because we also cover Chiron\'s journey through Aries until 2027.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">You can also check out a brief excerpt of this webinar, here:</a> <a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">https://goo.gl/844ZMG</a> Enjoy ;-) I also offer a <strong>Special Offer this month</strong>: sign up for Star or SuperStar Membership <strong>by May 31st</strong> (or upgrade from Universal to Star Membership via \"My Account\"), and get this webinar for FREE! If you are already a Star or SuperStar Member check your email for the link to this webinar -- it was emailed to you on April 30th ;-)\r\n\r\nThink back over the last 7 years (i.e. March 2011 - May 2018), while Uranus was in <b>Aries</b>, and <b>ask yourself: </b>Where did I make progress on my goals and desires? What structures needed to be renewed for me to break through and find a new or unique approach to who I\'m being? Do some of those structures actually need to break down? What self-realizations make me stand out and go after things in a more original way? How did this 7-year transit through Aries support my vision?\r\n\r\nIf you have a Birth chart, and know what to look for, look to see what Houses are connected to the <b>Aries</b> energy -- and if that sounds like I\'m talking a foreign language, feel free to watch my video: <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">How to Read Your Birth Chart</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/KMmUUz\">https://goo.gl/KMmUUz</a> <i>or</i> join our next Forecasting Forum on <b>May 31st at 7pm EDT</b>, and ask me your questions there. We will cover the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that starts in June -- that will also be connected to Aries in your chart -- I will definitely explain this in great detail in the Forum ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> conjuncts Uranus in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> -- this alignment is exact on May 13th, in 29º of Aries, two days before the New Moon becomes exact<i>.</i><b><i> </i></b>This could bring some exciting possibilities, perhaps even a leap forward in the evolution of our consciousness, with flashes of insight into our own mental workings and some original thoughts coming through, etc.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, and as much as you want to (of course), stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What might a true breakthrough look like? What insights am I receiving? What is it I\'m learning about myself every day that might change my whole perspective?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury also makes a trine to Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>. With Saturn</i> being a part of the equation it is important for us to learn something new using a mature and realistic approach.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What concrete, practical plans could I make? Could I allow myself to take it one step at a time, staying grounded in the here and now? What does a truthful, realistic alignment with long-term goals look like to me?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> trines Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>at the time of the New Moon, bringing the potential for spiritual inspiration -- and it\'s a great time for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>How might more trust and empathy help my perception of intimate relationships? What might be possible for me if I allowed for things to unfold? What if I allowed myself to see the perfection in everything that I perceive right here, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> It is important to remember that we are part of nature, just like a tree, or an ocean -- our actions and interactions with the only home we have will change it, for good or ill. We are also developing an increasingly profound conscious awareness over the next 28 days that connects us to all that is alive.\r\n\r\nTo bring all this together,<b> ask yourself:</b> What baby steps could I take for the planet I co-inhabit? What would show my love and appreciation? What do I sense when I get very quiet and tune into my own energy field and the energy all around me? What really matters to my heart?\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <i>not</i> during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions </i>would be <b>between</b> <b>7:48am on Tuesday, May 15th and <strong>7:48am EDT Thursday morning (May 17th).</strong></b>\r\n\r\n<i>Note</i>, however, that there is a brief <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a><b> on Tuesday afternoon -- it runs from 4:30pm until 4:43pm EDT. </b><i>Don’t</i> set your intentions during those 13 minutes — instead, allow intuition to surface possible intentions while you wait.

What if I learned to listen right past my conditioning and opinions? What if I took my time to respond?

Mars will be stationing in Aquarius, and retrograding back into Capricorn.

How could you move that to the next level? <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nDuring these times, when Mars travels through Aquarius, we enjoy surprising ourselves and others. The tried-and-true methods of getting things done are far too boring for us right now. We are looking for unique and original goals, and we tend to take a more original, forward-thinking view of the world now. What if, when you were least expecting it, you suddenly asked yourself \"How could I surprise the \"old me\" today?\"  ;-)\r\n\r\nMental and intellectual pursuits are important to us now. The Aquarian ideal of equality is strong with this position, so we also place a lot of value in freedom and individuality -- our own <i>and</i> that of others. With Mars in this fixed sign, we will definitely need our independence, especially in personal relationships -- and we are not easily pushed around. It\'s best to give ourselves and others lots of space; if we feel boxed in, we may rebel or act contrary.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nIn general, we may feel a desire to push our agenda on others -- not in an aggressive way, though... more in a creative manner. As best as you can, bring a sense of openness to your approach to people and situations. Be aware of feeling superior to others: if you find yourself thinking that someone is less \"special\" than you, put your hand over your heart and ask \"what would my heart say to this?\"\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more detached, forward-thinking and freedom-loving. You may want to change things in your life that have outlived their use. If you are an </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 12.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mars/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:04am EDT. This is the first Mars/Uranus Square of the year in the fixed signs (Aquarius/Taurus). <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last week Monday (May 7th), it will remain strong until next week Friday (May 25th). </strong>This aspect asks us to get in touch with our desires and break away from anything that is holding us back. Passions and anger that we may not even know we had may emerge at this time.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nUranus urges us to let go of the past and focus on a better future. We may feel restless and impatient; we can be very demanding and difficult to please. We tend to feel like progress is too slow and we are tired of waiting. This could be an explosive time, as our inner rebel issues<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>emotional challenges, while outer \"reality\" demands we change course.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, if you are the kind of person that doesn\'t go in for asserting themselves, this is an excellent time to try it out ;-) Do your best not to burn all your bridges, especially with any males in your family or in your various communities. We may also experience an awakening of sorts in regards to our sexuality.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAccidents are unusually likely (though not inevitable), especially if our levels of activity and energy are erratic; to prevent this, stay as grounded as possible and keep breathing! Flexibility and open-mindedness are always helpful but are especially important now. Notice when you are digging your heels in about something, this is usually a sign that you have some underlying anxiety about something else; again, take a deep breath, get centered in your body, close your eyes and focus on your third eye.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What am I afraid of happening? How might I channel this restless energy into projects that are asking for progress? How might I channel, or just burn off, all this erratic energy? What kind of exercise might be an energetic match? Where am I stagnating? Where am I able to take innovative action?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or personal planets in </i><i>27-29 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn,</i></b><i> or 0-</i><i>3 </i><i>degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>?

Make sure that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it -- otherwise, you risk becoming drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (May 18th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday late afternoon/early evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday early afternoon</strong>, <em>a harmonious Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:49pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening (May 16th) on, it will remain strong until Sunday (May 20th). </strong>It will help to interact with integrity and commitment. We can set aside unrealistic views and make concrete, practical plans, that help us explore our long-term goals.  <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe “get to the point” with no wasted time or words. Seeking a larger understanding, we speak our truth but temper it with adult caution and moderation. The reality of our beliefs gets clearer and our thought processes are more realistic. It is important for us to learn something new, with a mature attitude.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>5-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (May 19th)</strong>:<em> the Moon remains in protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer</strong></em> <strong>until 7:11pm EDT</strong> (see Thursday early evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday morning at 9:11am EDT</strong>, <i style=\"font-style: italic;\">Venus changes signs from chatty, versatile &amp; curious</i><i> </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Gemini</strong><i style=\"font-style: italic;\"> to protective, nurturing </i><strong><i>Cancer, </i></strong>where she will journey <strong>until June 13th; </strong> for those 4 weeks, we value family, loved ones, our home, emotional safety -- and real-estate dealings.\r\n\r\nWe prefer to be around safe, familiar people and places. We\'d rather stay home than socialize; if we do go out, we much prefer dinner parties at someone\'s home to dining out. When it comes to love, be gentle with each other -- and make sure to talk about your feelings.\r\n\r\nWith regards to our finances, it\'s best to stick to what feels safest and most secure. It\'s a favorable time for real-estate and interior design, or anything that makes the home more comfortable and livable.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel more shy for the next 4 weeks. Your heart will want to connect with family and loved ones.

As best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through your relationships.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We\'re also ready to experiment with our financial undertakings -- good places to look: all things \"tech\" (electronics, technology, internet); metaphysics; the arts; group activities. This is not the best time to make long-term financial investments not suggested in an intuitive flash ;-)</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 28-29 degrees of <strong>Gemini</strong></i><b><i>, Aries, Leo, </i></b><b><i>Aquarius, </i></b><i>or 0-2 degrees of <strong>Cancer, Taurus, Pisces, </strong>or<strong> Virgo</strong></i><i>?

You may also want to plan Saturday late afternoon and evening ahead of time. <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon sextiles the Sun in Taurus).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 7:11pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday late evening</strong>. <span class=\"s1\">We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-) </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are also a big part of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If there are no children around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?</span></p>\r\nAgain, today<strong> (Saturday),  </strong><span class=\"s1\">it\'s <i>time to take actions on our New Moon intentions</i>: if you set Intentions Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning -- after the New Moon became exact -- today <strong>before 5:14pm </strong>and<strong> after 7:11pm EDT, </strong>will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 20th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Saturday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning</strong>, <em>an opportune Mars/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:55am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Monday (May 14th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Friday (May 25th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This is an opportunity to accept the validity of our anger and desire so that we can learn to express these energies naturally and confidently. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This could also inspire us to make resolutions and take actions towards healing our emotional and spiritual wounds. Remember: this is an \"opportunity\" -- those aren\'t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in the following: 29 degrees of <b>Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus, Scorpio, </b>or<b> </b>0-4 degrees of</i><b><i> Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>?

If we can bring compassion and a different point of view to bear on these issues, we will reach a new understanding of ourselves and our life journey.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We have the opportunity to learn from one another; ironically though, we may also feel insecure around others. Whenever Chiron is involved, we are being asked to do some healing work. As best as you can, use this time to learn about your sore spots. Nobody is perfect: we all have our flaws and idiosyncrasies. It\'s ok.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you get triggered by someone, as best as you can, take it as an opportunity to see where this trigger originated -- probably in your childhood. Bring love and compassion to yourself, as you are, and as you were (i.e. your \"wounded child\"). Allow <i>any</i> feelings this may stir up in you. A feeling is just energy that wants to be experienced, and honored; it wants to move through us and out.\r\n</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The more we resist our feelings, the more we keep them spinning in place. As best as you can, move from the head to the heart: What might change, if you showed 5% more compassion toward your inner wounded child? What if you just decided to take an active part in the healing process? </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: 28-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i>0-5 degrees of </i><b><i>Cancer, Aries, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>?

We need to develop inner awareness, so we can make adjustments. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">This might concern compromising with others. Our enthusiasm might make us impatient or hasty with others. Our values may not be in alignment with those we work with. As best as you can, keep choosing the \"better\" alternative, adjusting as needed.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">When life slows down, or becomes uncomfortable, simplify and be patient. We are changing and growing in ways that we can\'t comprehend right now. Stay as open and observant as you can.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-3 degrees of</i><b><i> Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>?

We may be extra interested in collecting and sharing information. This is a time when curiosity and adaptability are favored. We are more flexible, changeable and adaptable -- which makes us quite social as well.</span>\r\n\r\nWe enjoy intellectual conversations and we can easily become bored if we are not getting enough mental stimulation at this time. We are more objective and observant but prefer to keep things light and easy. There is usually a nervousness in the air at this time as well, as we are constantly seeking to connect and have new interactions. “Sharing” is the name of the game.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Gemini, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo, your vitality will most likely speed up and you feel more chatty than usual.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 11:30 pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 22.5 hours, <strong>until 10:03pm EDT </strong>(Monday late evening, May 21st). <span class=\"s1\">We are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we feel a strong need to have fun and be creative or self-expressed.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">On the other hand, we want to explore deep, authentic -- even intimate -- connections to ourselves or others. Do your best to use this intuitive time to make adjustments, slow things down a little, and find creative solutions that honor both drives.</span></p>\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

Yahooooo! Bring it on! :-)\r\n\r\n<b>A quick announcement before we get started:</b><b>\r\n</b> Because it is <strong>my birthday this week</strong>, I wanted to give something of value, and I thought with all the changes that are coming, a <strong>30% discount</strong> on my 50-minute Coaching/Healing sessions would be a nice gift for everyone -- especially for those of you who are already doing monthly 25-minute Coaching/Healing sessions with me via the SuperStar Membership.

What is our favorite thing until Tuesday late afternoon? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early morning: </strong>The best way to handle the first few hours of Monday (if you\'re awake) is to slow down a little and focus on what\'s sitting right in front of you, that needs to be taken care of, so you can get to the next phase of accomplishment. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">(Moon in <strong>Taurus</strong> trines Saturn in <strong>Capricorn at 4:58am EDT -- post at 4am EDT)</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late afternoon, </strong>we have an opportunity to...\r\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">***</span><span class=\"s1\"><b>GET IT ALL!

This is a great day to let go of what no longer serves us. As best as you can, avoid jumping the gun: Rather than launching into brand-new endeavors or connections, wait until a couple of days has passed after the New Moon. Some of us might feel a little anxious or nervous today: As best as you can, get quiet and go within… Listen to the silence between the sounds… Find peace in the connection with your innermost and truest Self.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (15th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus</strong></em> <strong>until 4:43pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 7:48am EDT</strong>, the <i>New Moon in 24.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> becomes exact. This marks the beginning of a new Moon cycle. As best as you can, get really quiet, and see if you are getting any new messages or ideas. If you are, harvest them, and fold them into any intentions you set for the new Moon cycle -- I will talk about this process later in the forecast, and I’ll even give you the very best and most potent times for doing it :-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Click here to watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/IvgN28_yRKc\r\n\r\n<i>This New Moon in steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> places more focus on our interactions with the physical world -- you could say that we seek a healthier relationship with “matter\", one in which we are neither too attached, or too disconnected from our bodies, resources (such as money), and the planet we co-inhabit. We are powerfully reminded to take the time to honor the only planet we can currently live on — The Earth — we are called on to honor its resources and beauty.\r\n\r\nIn much the same spirit, we are invited also to honor ourselves, our bodies, our talents. This is a good time for reevaluating our relationship to money and possessions, and for discovering what truly makes us happy and fulfilled. Check in with yourself: What came to mind when you read this?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon trines Mars and Pluto in </i><b><i>Capricorn. </i></b>This combo promotes a realistic and responsible long-term approach. We have the chance to better align our goals with our values; it\'s easier for us to sustain what we have started, and bring a heightened sense of commitment to it all.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I am completely honest, what do I truly want for myself long-term? What really matters to me? If I felt the need to connect to something in a passionate way, what might that be? What truly fulfills me? And what modest step could I take today to move towards my goals?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus, </i>the ruler of Taurus, <i>moves through </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> at the time of the New Moon. This reminds us to learn and discuss Taurean issues: resources, appreciation of physical matter, natural beauty etc.\r\n\r\nThe spiritual quest of <b>Gemini</b>, on the other hand, concerns the development of perception, our powers of thought, and communication. As the creative power of the feminine, Venus in Gemini represents <i>the \"bringing together of opposites\" -- </i>people with different values, for example.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> When I picture this, what do I see? What might this look like in my various communities? How about within my relationships? Could exploring duality help me understand different points of views? Might curiosity be a vital tool in all of this? If so, what could I get curious about? What would 5% more flexibility do for my ability to relate to others?\r\n\r\nAnother thing worth mentioning: <i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>also</i> <i>makes a</i> <i>\"mutual reception\" to Mercury in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> <b><i>--</i></b> in other words, these planets are in each other\'s signs until May 19th; during that time, they \"mutually\" support each other\'s agenda. This gives us the opportunity to connect mind and heart.\r\n\r\nWe seek out mental stimulation: teaching, learning, writing, collecting and processing information, etc.... and we want to share the output in practical ways, applying it to the real world and ourselves, our values, and our physical experience of life.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, allow yourself to take your time processing things that you just started engaging with. In the meantime, stay open to learning, remain curious, and remember that every teacher is also a student and vice versa.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What if I listened to myself 5% more? What if I had 5% more faith that I\'d be heard? What might I discover about my thinking processes and my value? Is it possible my value doesn\'t need to be \"earned\"? What if, without my being alive, nothing else could be as it is?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus, in the last degree of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, makes a square to Mars in the last degree of </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b>at the time of the New Moon (more about this square when it becomes exact on Wednesday). As some of you already know, when a planet is the last degree of a sign, its energy is more exalted, as it knows that a shift is coming -- you could say that the rumbling of its vibration gets louder.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What am I waking to? Where do I need to assert myself? How might I do that while still keeping what I want to create long-term in view? What has been holding me back? What am I ready to address and change? What needs to happen so I can move forward in a mature fashion?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus moves into </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact (more on that below) -- starting its preview through this peace-loving, sensual sign until early November of this year -- I say \"preview\", because Uranus will return to <b>Taurus</b> in March 2019, for a 7 year-transit. These next 28 days will be ripe with shifts and changes, so stay centered in the here and now, expect the unexpected and allow yourself to make an inner shift -- as this paves the way for an outer shift. Flexibility is key!\r\n\r\nWe went over this upcoming shift in more detail in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how Uranus\'s journey through Taurus until 2026 impacts you personally, feel free to get the 120 min. long webinar on the subject; <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product-category/webinars/\">for more info or to purchase, click here</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/UqfQLJ\">https://goo.gl/UqfQLJ</a> The fee for this is only $37, even though the webinar is 30 minutes longer than my usual webinars -- partly because we also cover Chiron\'s journey through Aries until 2027.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">You can also check out a brief excerpt of this webinar, here:</a> <a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">https://goo.gl/844ZMG</a> Enjoy ;-) I also offer a <strong>Special Offer this month</strong>: sign up for Star or SuperStar Membership <strong>by May 31st</strong> (or upgrade from Universal to Star Membership via \"My Account\"), and get this webinar for FREE! If you are already a Star or SuperStar Member check your email for the link to this webinar -- it was emailed to you on April 30th ;-)\r\n\r\nThink back over the last 7 years (i.e. March 2011 - May 2018), while Uranus was in <b>Aries</b>, and <b>ask yourself: </b>Where did I make progress on my goals and desires? What structures needed to be renewed for me to break through and find a new or unique approach to who I\'m being? Do some of those structures actually need to break down? What self-realizations make me stand out and go after things in a more original way? How did this 7-year transit through Aries support my vision?\r\n\r\nIf you have a Birth chart, and know what to look for, look to see what Houses are connected to the <b>Aries</b> energy -- and if that sounds like I\'m talking a foreign language, feel free to watch my video: <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">How to Read Your Birth Chart</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/KMmUUz\">https://goo.gl/KMmUUz</a> <i>or</i> join our next Forecasting Forum on <b>May 31st at 7pm EDT</b>, and ask me your questions there. We will cover the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that starts in June -- that will also be connected to Aries in your chart -- I will definitely explain this in great detail in the Forum ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> conjuncts Uranus in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> -- this alignment is exact on May 13th, in 29º of Aries, two days before the New Moon becomes exact<i>.</i><b><i> </i></b>This could bring some exciting possibilities, perhaps even a leap forward in the evolution of our consciousness, with flashes of insight into our own mental workings and some original thoughts coming through, etc.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, and as much as you want to (of course), stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What might a true breakthrough look like? What insights am I receiving? What is it I\'m learning about myself every day that might change my whole perspective?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury also makes a trine to Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>. With Saturn</i> being a part of the equation it is important for us to learn something new using a mature and realistic approach.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What concrete, practical plans could I make? Could I allow myself to take it one step at a time, staying grounded in the here and now? What does a truthful, realistic alignment with long-term goals look like to me?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> trines Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>at the time of the New Moon, bringing the potential for spiritual inspiration -- and it\'s a great time for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>How might more trust and empathy help my perception of intimate relationships? What might be possible for me if I allowed for things to unfold? What if I allowed myself to see the perfection in everything that I perceive right here, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> It is important to remember that we are part of nature, just like a tree, or an ocean -- our actions and interactions with the only home we have will change it, for good or ill. We are also developing an increasingly profound conscious awareness over the next 28 days that connects us to all that is alive.\r\n\r\nTo bring all this together,<b> ask yourself:</b> What baby steps could I take for the planet I co-inhabit? What would show my love and appreciation? What do I sense when I get very quiet and tune into my own energy field and the energy all around me? What really matters to my heart?\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <i>not</i> during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions </i>would be <b>between</b> <b>7:48am on Tuesday, May 15th and <strong>7:48am EDT Thursday morning (May 17th).</strong></b>\r\n\r\n<i>Note</i>, however, that there is a brief <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a><b> on Tuesday afternoon -- it runs from 4:30pm until 4:43pm EDT. </b><i>Don’t</i> set your intentions during those 13 minutes — instead, allow intuition to surface possible intentions while you wait.

What if I learned to listen right past my conditioning and opinions? What if I took my time to respond? What might my heart want me to say? <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Again, feel free to also watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/IvgN28_yRKc\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 22-27 degrees of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>?

Mars will be stationing in Aquarius, and retrograding back into Capricorn. What does this mean for the current Healing journey of our masculine energies?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how to align yourself with this planetary movement, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation.

How could you move that to the next level? <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nDuring these times, when Mars travels through Aquarius, we enjoy surprising ourselves and others. The tried-and-true methods of getting things done are far too boring for us right now. We are looking for unique and original goals, and we tend to take a more original, forward-thinking view of the world now. What if, when you were least expecting it, you suddenly asked yourself \"How could I surprise the \"old me\" today?\"  ;-)\r\n\r\nMental and intellectual pursuits are important to us now. The Aquarian ideal of equality is strong with this position, so we also place a lot of value in freedom and individuality -- our own <i>and</i> that of others. With Mars in this fixed sign, we will definitely need our independence, especially in personal relationships -- and we are not easily pushed around. It\'s best to give ourselves and others lots of space; if we feel boxed in, we may rebel or act contrary.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nIn general, we may feel a desire to push our agenda on others -- not in an aggressive way, though... more in a creative manner. As best as you can, bring a sense of openness to your approach to people and situations. Be aware of feeling superior to others: if you find yourself thinking that someone is less \"special\" than you, put your hand over your heart and ask \"what would my heart say to this?\"\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more detached, forward-thinking and freedom-loving. You may want to change things in your life that have outlived their use. If you are an </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 12.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mars/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:04am EDT. This is the first Mars/Uranus Square of the year in the fixed signs (Aquarius/Taurus). <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last week Monday (May 7th), it will remain strong until next week Friday (May 25th). </strong>This aspect asks us to get in touch with our desires and break away from anything that is holding us back. Passions and anger that we may not even know we had may emerge at this time.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nUranus urges us to let go of the past and focus on a better future. We may feel restless and impatient; we can be very demanding and difficult to please. We tend to feel like progress is too slow and we are tired of waiting. This could be an explosive time, as our inner rebel issues<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>emotional challenges, while outer \"reality\" demands we change course.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, if you are the kind of person that doesn\'t go in for asserting themselves, this is an excellent time to try it out ;-) Do your best not to burn all your bridges, especially with any males in your family or in your various communities. We may also experience an awakening of sorts in regards to our sexuality.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAccidents are unusually likely (though not inevitable), especially if our levels of activity and energy are erratic; to prevent this, stay as grounded as possible and keep breathing! Flexibility and open-mindedness are always helpful but are especially important now. Notice when you are digging your heels in about something, this is usually a sign that you have some underlying anxiety about something else; again, take a deep breath, get centered in your body, close your eyes and focus on your third eye.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What am I afraid of happening? How might I channel this restless energy into projects that are asking for progress? How might I channel, or just burn off, all this erratic energy? What kind of exercise might be an energetic match? Where am I stagnating? Where am I able to take innovative action?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or personal planets in </i><i>27-29 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn,</i></b><i> or 0-</i><i>3 </i><i>degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>?

Make sure that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it -- otherwise, you risk becoming drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (May 18th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday late afternoon/early evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday early afternoon</strong>, <em>a harmonious Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:49pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening (May 16th) on, it will remain strong until Sunday (May 20th). </strong>It will help to interact with integrity and commitment. We can set aside unrealistic views and make concrete, practical plans, that help us explore our long-term goals.  <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe “get to the point” with no wasted time or words. Seeking a larger understanding, we speak our truth but temper it with adult caution and moderation. The reality of our beliefs gets clearer and our thought processes are more realistic. It is important for us to learn something new, with a mature attitude.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>5-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (May 19th)</strong>:<em> the Moon remains in protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer</strong></em> <strong>until 7:11pm EDT</strong> (see Thursday early evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday morning at 9:11am EDT</strong>, <i style=\"font-style: italic;\">Venus changes signs from chatty, versatile &amp; curious</i><i> </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Gemini</strong><i style=\"font-style: italic;\"> to protective, nurturing </i><strong><i>Cancer, </i></strong>where she will journey <strong>until June 13th; </strong> for those 4 weeks, we value family, loved ones, our home, emotional safety -- and real-estate dealings.\r\n\r\nWe prefer to be around safe, familiar people and places. We\'d rather stay home than socialize; if we do go out, we much prefer dinner parties at someone\'s home to dining out. When it comes to love, be gentle with each other -- and make sure to talk about your feelings.\r\n\r\nWith regards to our finances, it\'s best to stick to what feels safest and most secure. It\'s a favorable time for real-estate and interior design, or anything that makes the home more comfortable and livable.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel more shy for the next 4 weeks. Your heart will want to connect with family and loved ones. If you are a</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to have more love and beauty in your life, for as long as Venus is in your sign ;-)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:30pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening (May 17th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Monday morning (May 21st). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This gives us the opportunity to experiment with how we relate to others -- to do something different or unusual -- freedom plays a big part in this aspect.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Of course, others are experimenting too, so you might experience some unusual or unexpected interactions during this time -- it\'s a favorable time for social meetings and events. As best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through your relationships.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We\'re also ready to experiment with our financial undertakings -- good places to look: all things \"tech\" (electronics, technology, internet); metaphysics; the arts; group activities. This is not the best time to make long-term financial investments not suggested in an intuitive flash ;-)</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">28-29 degrees</span> of <strong>Gemini</strong></i><b><i>, Aries, Leo, </i></b><b><i>Aquarius, </i></b><i><span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">or 0-2 degrees</span> of <strong>Cancer, Taurus, Pisces, </strong>or<strong> Virgo</strong></i><i>?

You may also want to plan Saturday late afternoon and evening ahead of time. <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon sextiles the Sun in Taurus).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 7:11pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday late evening</strong>. <span class=\"s1\">We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-) </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are also a big part of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If there are no children around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?</span></p>\r\nAgain, today<strong> (Saturday),  </strong><span class=\"s1\">it\'s <i>time to take actions on our New Moon intentions</i>: if you set Intentions Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning -- after the New Moon became exact -- today <strong>before 5:14pm </strong>and<strong> after 7:11pm EDT, </strong>will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 20th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Saturday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning</strong>, <em>an opportune Mars/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:55am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Monday (May 14th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Friday (May 25th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This is an opportunity to accept the validity of our anger and desire so that we can learn to express these energies naturally and confidently. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This could also inspire us to make resolutions and take actions towards healing our emotional and spiritual wounds. Remember: this is an \"opportunity\" -- those aren\'t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in the following: 29 degrees of <b>Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus, Scorpio, </b>or<b> </b>0-4 degrees of</i><b><i> Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, </i></span><span class=\"s1\"><i>you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Aries </i></b><i>(Mars rules Aries)</i></span></p>\r\n<strong>Sunday late afternoon</strong>, <em>a challenging Venus/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:24pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday night (May 17th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Wednesday (May 23rd). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This aspect asks us to stretch past injuries and insecurities in our relationships, self-worth, and finances. If we can bring compassion and a different point of view to bear on these issues, we will reach a new understanding of ourselves and our life journey.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We have the opportunity to learn from one another; ironically though, we may also feel insecure around others. Whenever Chiron is involved, we are being asked to do some healing work. As best as you can, use this time to learn about your sore spots. Nobody is perfect: we all have our flaws and idiosyncrasies. It\'s ok.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you get triggered by someone, as best as you can, take it as an opportunity to see where this trigger originated -- probably in your childhood. Bring love and compassion to yourself, as you are, and as you were (i.e. your \"wounded child\"). Allow <i>any</i> feelings this may stir up in you. A feeling is just energy that wants to be experienced, and honored; it wants to move through us and out.\r\n</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The more we resist our feelings, the more we keep them spinning in place. As best as you can, move from the head to the heart: What might change, if you showed 5% more compassion toward your inner wounded child? What if you just decided to take an active part in the healing process? </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: 28-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i>0-5 degrees of </i><b><i>Cancer, Aries, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).</i></span><span class=\"s2\"> </span></p>\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 10:06pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from early morning (May 20th) on, it will remain strong until Monday evening (May 21st). </strong><span class=\"s1\">We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward; we need to make a choice. We need to develop inner awareness, so we can make adjustments. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">This might concern compromising with others. Our enthusiasm might make us impatient or hasty with others. Our values may not be in alignment with those we work with. As best as you can, keep choosing the \"better\" alternative, adjusting as needed.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">When life slows down, or becomes uncomfortable, simplify and be patient. We are changing and growing in ways that we can\'t comprehend right now. Stay as open and observant as you can.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-3 degrees of</i><b><i> Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> (Venus rules Taurus and Libra; Mars rules Aries)</i></span></p>\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening at 10:15pm EDT</strong>,<em> </em><span class=\"s1\"><i>the Sun changes signs from steady, sensual</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>to versatile, fast-thinking</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b>.</span><span class=\"s2\"> It will journey through Gemini <b>until June 21st.</b> With the Sun in Gemini, the urge for self-expression is strong. We may be extra interested in collecting and sharing information. This is a time when curiosity and adaptability are favored. We are more flexible, changeable and adaptable -- which makes us quite social as well.</span>\r\n\r\nWe enjoy intellectual conversations and we can easily become bored if we are not getting enough mental stimulation at this time. We are more objective and observant but prefer to keep things light and easy. There is usually a nervousness in the air at this time as well, as we are constantly seeking to connect and have new interactions. “Sharing” is the name of the game.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Gemini, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo, your vitality will most likely speed up and you feel more chatty than usual.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 11:30 pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 22.5 hours, <strong>until 10:03pm EDT </strong>(Monday late evening, May 21st). <span class=\"s1\">We are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we feel a strong need to have fun and be creative or self-expressed.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">On the other hand, we want to explore deep, authentic -- even intimate -- connections to ourselves or others. Do your best to use this intuitive time to make adjustments, slow things down a little, and find creative solutions that honor both drives.</span></p>\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday late evening and Monday all day ahead of time.<span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"> (Moon squares Jupiter in Scorpio).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>A heads-up for next Monday (May 21st)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a>, <strong>until 10:03pm EDT</strong>. <strong>Also on Monday at 11:49pm EDT</strong>, <em>the first Quarter Moon in 1 degree of <strong>Virgo</strong> becomes exact</em>; the Moon in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in chatty, versatile <strong>Gemini</strong>.

Some of us might feel a little anxious or nervous today: As best as you can, get quiet and go within… Listen to the silence between the sounds… Find peace in the connection with your innermost and truest Self.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (15th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus</strong></em> <strong>until 4:43pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 7:48am EDT</strong>, the <i>New Moon in 24.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> becomes exact.

If you are, harvest them, and fold them into any intentions you set for the new Moon cycle -- I will talk about this process later in the forecast, and I’ll even give you the very best and most potent times for doing it :-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Click here to watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/IvgN28_yRKc\r\n\r\n<i>This New Moon in steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> places more focus on our interactions with the physical world -- you could say that we seek a healthier relationship with “matter\", one in which we are neither too attached, or too disconnected from our bodies, resources (such as money), and the planet we co-inhabit. We are powerfully reminded to take the time to honor the only planet we can currently live on — The Earth — we are called on to honor its resources and beauty.\r\n\r\nIn much the same spirit, we are invited also to honor ourselves, our bodies, our talents. This is a good time for reevaluating our relationship to money and possessions, and for discovering what truly makes us happy and fulfilled. Check in with yourself: What came to mind when you read this?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon trines Mars and Pluto in </i><b><i>Capricorn. </i></b>This combo promotes a realistic and responsible long-term approach. We have the chance to better align our goals with our values; it\'s easier for us to sustain what we have started, and bring a heightened sense of commitment to it all.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I am completely honest, what do I truly want for myself long-term? What really matters to me? If I felt the need to connect to something in a passionate way, what might that be? What truly fulfills me? And what modest step could I take today to move towards my goals?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus, </i>the ruler of Taurus, <i>moves through </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> at the time of the New Moon. This reminds us to learn and discuss Taurean issues: resources, appreciation of physical matter, natural beauty etc.\r\n\r\nThe spiritual quest of <b>Gemini</b>, on the other hand, concerns the development of perception, thought, and communication. As the creative power of the feminine, Venus in Gemini represents <i>the \"bringing together of opposites\" -- </i>people with different values, for example.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> When I picture this, what do I see? What might this look like in my various communities? How about within my relationships? Could exploring duality help me understand different points of views? Might curiosity be a vital tool in all of this? If so, what could I get curious about? What would 5% more flexibility do for my ability to relate to others?\r\n\r\nAnother thing worth mentioning: <i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>also</i> <i>makes a</i> <i>\"mutual reception\" to Mercury in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> <b><i>--</i></b> in other words, these planets are in each other\'s signs until May 19th; during that time, they \"mutually\" support each other\'s agenda. This gives us the opportunity to connect mind and heart.\r\n\r\nWe seek out mental stimulation: teaching, learning, writing, collecting and processing information, etc.... and we want to share the output in practical ways, applying it to the real world and ourselves, our values, and our physical experience of life.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, allow yourself to take your time processing things that you just started engaging with. In the meantime, stay open to learning, remain curious, and remember that every teacher is also a student and vice versa.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What if I listened to myself 5% more? What if I had 5% more faith that I\'d be heard? What might I discover about my thinking processes and my value? Is it possible my value doesn\'t need to be \"earned\"? What if, without my being alive, nothing else could be as it is?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus, in the last degree of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, makes a square to Mars in the last degree of </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b>at the time of the New Moon (more about this square when it becomes exact on Wednesday). As some of you already know, when a planet is the last degree of a sign, its energy is more exalted, as it knows that a shift is coming -- you could say that the rumbling of its vibration gets louder.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What am I waking to? Where do I need to assert myself? How might I do that while still keeping what I want to create long-term in view? What has been holding me back? What am I ready to address and change? What needs to happen so I can move forward in a mature fashion?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus moves into </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact (more on that below) -- starting its preview through this peace-loving, sensual sign until early November of this year -- I say \"preview\", because Uranus will return to <b>Taurus</b> in March, 2019, for a 7 year-transit. These next 28 days will be ripe with shifts and changes, so stay centered in the here and now, expect the unexpected and allow yourself to make an inner shift -- as this paves the way for an outer shift. Flexibility is key!\r\n\r\nWe went over this upcoming shift in more detail in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how Uranus\'s journey through Taurus until 2026 impacts you personally, feel free to get the 120 min. long webinar on the subject; <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product-category/webinars/\">for more info or to purchase, click here</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/UqfQLJ\">https://goo.gl/UqfQLJ</a> The fee for this is only $37, even though the webinar is 30 minutes longer than my usual webinars -- partly because we also cover Chiron\'s journey through Aries until 2027.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">You can also check out a brief excerpt of this webinar, here:</a> <a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">https://goo.gl/844ZMG</a> Enjoy ;-) I also offer a <strong>Special Offer this month</strong>: sign up for Star or SuperStar Membership <strong>by May 31st</strong> (or upgrade from Universal to Star Membership via \"My Account\"), and get this webinar for FREE! If you are already a Star or SuperStar Member check your email for the link of this webinar -- it was emailed to you on April 30th ;-)\r\n\r\nThink back over the last 7 years (i.e. March 2011 - May 2018), while Uranus was in <b>Aries</b>, and <b>ask yourself: </b>Where did I make progress on my goals and desires? What structures needed to be renewed for me to break through and find a new or unique approach to who I\'m being? Do some of those structures actually need to break down? What self-realizations make me stand out and go after things in a more original way? How did this 7-year transit through Aries support my vision?\r\n\r\nIf you have a Birth chart, and know what to look for, look to see what Houses are connected to the <b>Aries</b> energy -- and if that sounds like I\'m talking a foreign language, feel free to watch my video: <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">How to Read Your Birth Chart</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/KMmUUz\">https://goo.gl/KMmUUz</a> <i>or</i> join our next Forecasting Forum on <b>May 31st at 7pm EDT</b>, and ask me your questions there. We will cover the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that starts in June -- that will also be connected to Aries in your chart -- I will definitely explain this in great detail in the Forum ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> conjuncts Uranus in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> -- this alignment is exact on May 13th, in 29º of Aries, two days before the New Moon becomes exact<i>.</i><b><i> </i></b>This could bring some exciting possibilities, perhaps even a leap forward in the evolution of our consciousness, with flashes of insight into our own mental workings and some original thoughts coming through, etc.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, and as much as you want to (of course), stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What might a true breakthrough look like? What insights am I receiving? What is it I\'m learning about myself every day that might change my whole perspective?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury also makes a trine to Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>. With Saturn</i> being a part of the equation it is important for us to learn something new using a mature and realistic approach.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What concrete, practical plans could I make? Could I allow myself to take it one step at a time, staying grounded in the here and now? What does a truthful, realistic alignment with long-term goals look like to me?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> trines Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>at the time of the New Moon, bringing the potential for spiritual inspiration -- and it\'s a great time for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>How might more trust and empathy help my perception of intimate relationships? What might be possible for me if I allowed for things to unfold? What if I allowed myself to see the perfection in everything that I perceive right here, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> It is important to remember that we are part of nature, just like a tree, or an ocean -- our actions and interactions with the only home we have will change it, for good or ill. We are also developing an increasingly profound conscious awareness over the next 28 days that connects us to all that is alive.\r\n\r\nTo bring all this together,<b> ask yourself:</b> What baby steps could I take for the planet I co-inhabit? What would show my love and appreciation? What do I sense when I get very quiet and tune into my own energy field and the energy all around me? What really matters to my heart?\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <i>not</i> during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions </i>would be <b>between</b> <b>7:48am on Tuesday, May 15th and <strong>7:48am EDT Thursday morning (May 17th).</strong></b>\r\n\r\n<i>Note</i> however, that there is a brief <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a><b> on Tuesday afternoon; it starts at 4:30pm and ends at 4:43pm EDT. </b><i>Don’t</i> set your intentions during those 13 minutes — instead, allow intuition to surface possible intentions while you wait.

What if I learned to listen right past my conditioning and opinions? What if I took my time to respond? What might my heart want me to say? <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Again, feel free to also watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/IvgN28_yRKc\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 22-27 degrees of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>?

Mars will be stationing in Aquarius, and retrograding back into Capricorn. What does this mean for our current Healing journey of our masculine energies?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how to align yourself with this planetary movement, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation.

How could you move that to the next level? <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nDuring these times, when Mars travels through Aquarius, we enjoy surprising ourselves and others. The tried-and-true methods of getting things done are far too boring for us right now. We are looking for unique and original goals, and we tend to have a rather original, forward-thinking view of the world now. \"<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Progress\" is one of our favorite words! What if you suddenly said to yourself: \"How could I surprise the \"old me\" today?\", when you were least expecting it?</span> ;-)\r\n\r\nMental and intellectual pursuits are important to us now. The Aquarian ideal of equality is strong with this position, so we also place a lot of value in freedom and individuality -- our own <i>and</i> that of others. With Mars in this fixed sign, we will definitely need our independence, especially in personal relationships -- and we are not easily pushed around. It\'s best to give ourselves and others lots of space; if we feel boxed in, we may rebel or act contrary.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nIn general, we may feel a desire to push our agenda on others -- not in an aggressive way, though... more in a creative manner. As best as you can, bring a sense of openness to your approach to people and situations. Be aware of feeling superior to others: if you find yourself thinking that someone is less \"special\" than you, put your hand over your heart and ask \"what would my heart say to this?\"\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more detached, forward-thinking and freedom-loving. You may want to change things in your life that have outlived their use. If you are an </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 12.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mars/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:04am EDT. This is the first Mars/Uranus Square of the year in the fixed signs (Aquarius/Taurus). <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last week Monday (May 7th), it will remain strong until next week Friday (May 25th). </strong>This aspect asks us to get in touch with our desires and break away from anything that is holding us back. Passions and anger that we may not even know we had may emerge at this time.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Uranus urges us to let go of the past and focus on a better future.</span> We may feel restless and impatient; we can be very demanding and difficult to please. We tend to feel like progress is too slow and we are tired of waiting. This could be an explosive time, as our inner rebel issues<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>emotional challenges, while outer \"reality\" demands we change course.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, if you are the kind of person that doesn\'t go in for asserting themselves, this is an excellent time to try it out ;-) Do your best not to burn all your bridges, especially with any males in your family or in your various communities. We may also experience an awakening of sorts in regards to our sexuality.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAccidents are unusually likely (though not inevitable), especially if our levels of activity and energy are erratic; to prevent this, stay as grounded as possible and keep breathing! Flexibility and open-mindedness is always helpful... but is especially important now. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Notice when you are digging your heals in about something, this is usually a sign that you have some underlying anxiety about something else. Again, take a deep breath, get centered in your body, close your eyes and focus on your third eye. </span>\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">What am I afraid of happening?</span> How might I channel this restless energy into projects that are asking for progress? How might I channel, or just burn off, all this erratic energy? What kind of exercise might be an energetic match? Where am I stagnating? Where am I able to take innovative action?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or personal planets in </i><i>27-29 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn,</i></b><i> or 0-</i><i>3 </i><i>degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>?

Seeking a larger understanding, we speak our truth, but temper it with adult caution and moderation. The reality of our beliefs gets clearer and our thought processes are more realistic.

As best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through your relationships.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We\'re also ready to experiment with our financial undertakings -- good places to look: all things \"tech\" (electronics, technology, internet); metaphysics; the arts; group activities. This is not the best time to make long-term financial investments not suggested in an intuitive flash ;-)</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">28-29 degrees</span> of <strong>Gemini</strong></i><b><i>, Aries, Leo, </i></b><b><i>Aquarius, </i></b><i><span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">or 0-2 degrees</span> of <strong>Cancer, Taurus, Pisces, </strong>or<strong> Virgo</strong></i><i>?

You may also want to plan Saturday late afternoon and evening ahead of time. (<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Moon sextiles the Sun in Taurus</span>).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 7:11pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday late evening</strong>. <span class=\"s1\">We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-) </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?</span></p>\r\nAgain, today<strong> (Saturday),  </strong><span class=\"s1\">it\'s <i>time to take actions on our New Moon intentions</i>: if you set Intentions Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning -- after the New Moon became exact -- today <strong>before 5:14pm </strong>and<strong> after 7:11pm EDT, </strong>will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 20th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Saturday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning</strong>, <em>an opportune Mars/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:55am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from <span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">Monday (May 14th)</span> on, it will remain strong until <span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">next week, Friday (May 25th)</span>. </strong><span class=\"s1\">This is an opportunity to accept the validity of our anger and desire, so that we can learn to express these energies naturally and confidently. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This could also inspire us to make resolutions and take actions towards healing our emotional and spiritual wounds. Remember: this is an \"opportunity\" -- those aren\'t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in the following: <span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">29 degrees of</span> <b>Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus, Scorpio, </b><span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">or<b> </b>0-4 degrees</span> of</i><b><i> Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>?

If we can bring compassion and a different point of view to these issues, we will reach a new understanding of ourselves and our life journey.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We have the opportunity to learn from one another; ironically though, we may also feel insecure around others. Whenever Chiron is involved, we are being asked to do some healing work. As best as you can, use this time to learn about your sore spots. Nobody is perfect: we all have our flaws and idiosyncrasies. It\'s ok.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you get triggered by someone, as best as you can, take it as an opportunity to see where this trigger originated -- probably in your childhood. Bring love and compassion to yourself, as you are, and as you were (i.e. your \"wounded child\"). Allow <i>any</i> feelings this may stir up in you. A feeling is just energy that wants to be experienced, and honored; it wants to move through us and out.\r\n</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The more we resist our feelings, the more we keep them spinning in place. As best as you can, move from the head to the heart. What might change, if you showed 5% more compassion toward your inner wounded child? What if you just decided to take an active part in the healing process? </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: <span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">28-29 degrees</span> of </i><b><i>Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i><span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">0-5 degrees</span> of </i><b><i>Cancer, Aries, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>?

We need to develop inner awareness, so we can make adjustments. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">This might concern compromising with others. Our enthusiasm might make us impatient or hasty with others. Our values may not be in alignment with those we work with. As best as you can, keep choosing the \"better\" alternative, adjusting as needed.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">When life slows down, or becomes uncomfortable, simplify and be patient. We are changing and growing in ways that we can\'t comprehend right now. Stay as open and observant as you can.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-3 degrees of</i><b><i> Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>?

We may be extra interested in collecting and sharing information. This is a time when curiosity and adaptability are favored. We are more flexible, changeable and adaptable -- which makes us quite social as well.</span>\r\n\r\nWe enjoy intellectual conversations and we can easily become bored if we are not getting enough mental stimulation at this time. We are more objective and observant, but prefer to keep things light and easy. There is usually a nervousness in the air at this time as well, as we are constantly seeking to connect and have new interactions. “Sharing” is the name of the game.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Gemini, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo your vitality will most likely speed up and you feel more chatty than usual.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 11:30 pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 22.5 hours, <strong>until 10:03pm EDT </strong>(Monday late evening, May 21st). <span class=\"s1\">We are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we feel a strong need to have fun and be creative or self-expressed.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">On the other hand, we want to explore deep, authentic -- even intimate -- connections to ourselves or others.

What is our favorite thing until Tuesday late afternoon? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early morning: </strong>The best way to handle the first few hours of Monday (if you\'re awake) is to slow down a little and focus on what\'s sitting right in front of you, that needs to be taken care of, so you can get to the next phase of accomplishment. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">(Moon in <strong>Taurus</strong> trines Saturn in <strong>Capricorn at 4:58am EDT -- post at 4am EDT)</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late afternoon, </strong>we have an opportunity to...\r\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">***</span><span class=\"s1\"><b>GET IT ALL!

This is a great day to let go of what no longer serves us. As best as you can, avoid jumping the gun: Rather than launching into brand-new endeavors or connections, wait until a couple of days has passed after the New Moon. Some of us might feel a little anxious or nervous today: As best as you can, get quiet and go within… Listen to the silence between the sounds… Find peace in the connection with your innermost and truest Self.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (15th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus</strong></em> <strong>until 4:43pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 7:48am EDT</strong>, the <i>New Moon in 24.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> becomes exact. This marks the beginning of a new Moon cycle. As best as you can, get really quiet, and see if you are getting any new messages or ideas. If you are, harvest them, and fold them into any intentions you set for the new Moon cycle -- I will talk about this process later in the forecast, and I’ll even give you the very best and most potent times for doing it :-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Click here to watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/IvgN28_yRKc\r\n\r\n<i>This New Moon in steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> places more focus on our interactions with the physical world -- you could say that we seek a healthier relationship with “matter\", one in which we are neither too attached, or too disconnected from our bodies, resources (such as money), and the planet we co-inhabit. We are powerfully reminded to take the time to honor the only planet we can currently live on — The Earth — we are called on to honor its resources and beauty.\r\n\r\nIn much the same spirit, we are invited also to honor ourselves, our bodies, our talents. This is a good time for reevaluating our relationship to money and possessions, and for discovering what truly makes us happy and fulfilled. Check in with yourself: What came to mind when you read this?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon trines Mars and Pluto in </i><b><i>Capricorn. </i></b>This combo promotes a realistic and responsible long-term approach. We have the chance to better align our goals with our values; it\'s easier for us to sustain what we have started, and bring a heightened sense of commitment to it all.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I am completely honest, what do I truly want for myself long-term? What really matters to me? If I felt the need to connect to something in a passionate way, what might that be? What truly fulfills me? And what modest step could I take today to move towards my goals?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus, </i>the ruler of Taurus, <i>moves through </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> at the time of the New Moon. This reminds us to learn and discuss Taurean issues: resources, appreciation of physical matter, natural beauty etc.\r\n\r\nThe spiritual quest of <b>Gemini</b>, on the other hand, concerns the development of perception, our powers of thought, and communication. As the creative power of the feminine, Venus in Gemini represents <i>the \"bringing together of opposites\" -- </i>people with different values, for example.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> When I picture this, what do I see? What might this look like in my various communities? How about within my relationships? Could exploring duality help me understand different points of views? Might curiosity be a vital tool in all of this? If so, what could I get curious about? What would 5% more flexibility do for my ability to relate to others?\r\n\r\nAnother thing worth mentioning: <i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>also</i> <i>makes a</i> <i>\"mutual reception\" to Mercury in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> <b><i>--</i></b> in other words, these planets are in each other\'s signs until May 19th; during that time, they \"mutually\" support each other\'s agenda. This gives us the opportunity to connect mind and heart.\r\n\r\nWe seek out mental stimulation: teaching, learning, writing, collecting and processing information, etc.... and we want to share the output in practical ways, applying it to the real world and ourselves, our values, and our physical experience of life.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, allow yourself to take your time processing things that you just started engaging with. In the meantime, stay open to learning, remain curious, and remember that every teacher is also a student and vice versa.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What if I listened to myself 5% more? What if I had 5% more faith that I\'d be heard? What might I discover about my thinking processes and my value? Is it possible my value doesn\'t need to be \"earned\"? What if, without my being alive, nothing else could be as it is?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus, in the last degree of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, makes a square to Mars in the last degree of </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b>at the time of the New Moon (more about this square when it becomes exact on Wednesday). As some of you already know, when a planet is the last degree of a sign, its energy is more exalted, as it knows that a shift is coming -- you could say that the rumbling of its vibration gets louder.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What am I waking to? Where do I need to assert myself? How might I do that while still keeping what I want to create long-term in view? What has been holding me back? What am I ready to address and change? What needs to happen so I can move forward in a mature fashion?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus moves into </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact (more on that below) -- starting its preview through this peace-loving, sensual sign until early November of this year -- I say \"preview\", because Uranus will return to <b>Taurus</b> in March 2019, for a 7 year-transit. These next 28 days will be ripe with shifts and changes, so stay centered in the here and now, expect the unexpected and allow yourself to make an inner shift -- as this paves the way for an outer shift. Flexibility is key!\r\n\r\nWe went over this upcoming shift in more detail in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how Uranus\'s journey through Taurus until 2026 impacts you personally, feel free to get the 120 min. long webinar on the subject; <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product-category/webinars/\">for more info or to purchase, click here</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/UqfQLJ\">https://goo.gl/UqfQLJ</a> The fee for this is only $37, even though the webinar is 30 minutes longer than my usual webinars -- partly because we also cover Chiron\'s journey through Aries until 2027.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">You can also check out a brief excerpt of this webinar, here:</a> <a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">https://goo.gl/844ZMG</a> Enjoy ;-) I also offer a <strong>Special Offer this month</strong>: sign up for Star or SuperStar Membership <strong>by May 31st</strong> (or upgrade from Universal to Star Membership via \"My Account\"), and get this webinar for FREE! If you are already a Star or SuperStar Member check your email for the link to this webinar -- it was emailed to you on April 30th ;-)\r\n\r\nThink back over the last 7 years (i.e. March 2011 - May 2018), while Uranus was in <b>Aries</b>, and <b>ask yourself: </b>Where did I make progress on my goals and desires? What structures needed to be renewed for me to break through and find a new or unique approach to who I\'m being? Do some of those structures actually need to break down? What self-realizations make me stand out and go after things in a more original way? How did this 7-year transit through Aries support my vision?\r\n\r\nIf you have a Birth chart, and know what to look for, look to see what Houses are connected to the <b>Aries</b> energy -- and if that sounds like I\'m talking a foreign language, feel free to watch my video: <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">How to Read Your Birth Chart</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/KMmUUz\">https://goo.gl/KMmUUz</a> <i>or</i> join our next Forecasting Forum on <b>May 31st at 7pm EDT</b>, and ask me your questions there. We will cover the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that starts in June -- that will also be connected to Aries in your chart -- I will definitely explain this in great detail in the Forum ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> conjuncts Uranus in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> -- this alignment is exact on May 13th, in 29º of Aries, two days before the New Moon becomes exact<i>.</i><b><i> </i></b>This could bring some exciting possibilities, perhaps even a leap forward in the evolution of our consciousness, with flashes of insight into our own mental workings and some original thoughts coming through, etc.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, and as much as you want to (of course), stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What might a true breakthrough look like? What insights am I receiving? What is it I\'m learning about myself every day that might change my whole perspective?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury also makes a trine to Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>. With Saturn</i> being a part of the equation it is important for us to learn something new using a mature and realistic approach.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What concrete, practical plans could I make? Could I allow myself to take it one step at a time, staying grounded in the here and now? What does a truthful, realistic alignment with long-term goals look like to me?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> trines Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>at the time of the New Moon, bringing the potential for spiritual inspiration -- and it\'s a great time for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>How might more trust and empathy help my perception of intimate relationships? What might be possible for me if I allowed for things to unfold? What if I allowed myself to see the perfection in everything that I perceive right here, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> It is important to remember that we are part of nature, just like a tree, or an ocean -- our actions and interactions with the only home we have will change it, for good or ill. We are also developing an increasingly profound conscious awareness over the next 28 days that connects us to all that is alive.\r\n\r\nTo bring all this together,<b> ask yourself:</b> What baby steps could I take for the planet I co-inhabit? What would show my love and appreciation? What do I sense when I get very quiet and tune into my own energy field and the energy all around me? What really matters to my heart?\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <i>not</i> during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions </i>would be <b>between</b> <b>7:48am on Tuesday, May 15th and <strong>7:48am EDT Thursday morning (May 17th).</strong></b>\r\n\r\n<i>Note</i>, however, that there is a brief <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a><b> on Tuesday afternoon -- it runs from 4:30pm until 4:43pm EDT. </b><i>Don’t</i> set your intentions during those 13 minutes — instead, allow intuition to surface possible intentions while you wait.

What if I learned to listen right past my conditioning and opinions? What if I took my time to respond?

How could you move that to the next level? <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nDuring these times, when Mars travels through Aquarius, we enjoy surprising ourselves and others. The tried-and-true methods of getting things done are far too boring for us right now. We are looking for unique and original goals, and we tend to take a more original, forward-thinking view of the world now. What if, when you were least expecting it, you suddenly asked yourself \"How could I surprise the \"old me\" today?\"  ;-)\r\n\r\nMental and intellectual pursuits are important to us now. The Aquarian ideal of equality is strong with this position, so we also place a lot of value in freedom and individuality -- our own <i>and</i> that of others. With Mars in this fixed sign, we will definitely need our independence, especially in personal relationships -- and we are not easily pushed around. It\'s best to give ourselves and others lots of space; if we feel boxed in, we may rebel or act contrary.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nIn general, we may feel a desire to push our agenda on others -- not in an aggressive way, though... more in a creative manner. As best as you can, bring a sense of openness to your approach to people and situations. Be aware of feeling superior to others: if you find yourself thinking that someone is less \"special\" than you, put your hand over your heart and ask \"what would my heart say to this?\"\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more detached, forward-thinking and freedom-loving. You may want to change things in your life that have outlived their use. If you are an </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 12.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mars/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:04am EDT. This is the first Mars/Uranus Square of the year in the fixed signs (Aquarius/Taurus). <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last week Monday (May 7th), it will remain strong until next week Friday (May 25th). </strong>This aspect asks us to get in touch with our desires and break away from anything that is holding us back. Passions and anger that we may not even know we had may emerge at this time.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nUranus urges us to let go of the past and focus on a better future. We may feel restless and impatient; we can be very demanding and difficult to please. We tend to feel like progress is too slow and we are tired of waiting. This could be an explosive time, as our inner rebel issues<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>emotional challenges, while outer \"reality\" demands we change course.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, if you are the kind of person that doesn\'t go in for asserting themselves, this is an excellent time to try it out ;-) Do your best not to burn all your bridges, especially with any males in your family or in your various communities. We may also experience an awakening of sorts in regards to our sexuality.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAccidents are unusually likely (though not inevitable), especially if our levels of activity and energy are erratic; to prevent this, stay as grounded as possible and keep breathing! Flexibility and open-mindedness are always helpful but are especially important now. Notice when you are digging your heels in about something, this is usually a sign that you have some underlying anxiety about something else; again, take a deep breath, get centered in your body, close your eyes and focus on your third eye.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What am I afraid of happening? How might I channel this restless energy into projects that are asking for progress? How might I channel, or just burn off, all this erratic energy? What kind of exercise might be an energetic match? Where am I stagnating? Where am I able to take innovative action?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or personal planets in </i><i>27-29 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn,</i></b><i> or 0-</i><i>3 </i><i>degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>?

You may also want to plan Thursday afternoon until early evening ahead of time. (<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Moon conjuncts Venus in Gemini</span>).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 5:47pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Saturday evening</strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it -- otherwise, you risk becoming drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (May 18th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday late afternoon/early evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday early afternoon</strong>, <em>a harmonious Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:49pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening (May 16th) on, it will remain strong until Sunday (May 20th). </strong>It will help to interact with integrity and commitment. We can set aside unrealistic views and make concrete, practical plans, that help us explore our long-term goals.  <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe “get to the point” with no wasted time or words. Seeking a larger understanding, we speak our truth but temper it with adult caution and moderation. The reality of our beliefs gets clearer and our thought processes are more realistic. It is important for us to learn something new, with a mature attitude.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>5-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (May 19th)</strong>:<em> the Moon remains in protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer</strong></em> <strong>until 7:11pm EDT</strong> (see Thursday early evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday morning at 9:11am EDT</strong>, <i style=\"font-style: italic;\">Venus changes signs from chatty, versatile &amp; curious</i><i> </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Gemini</strong><i style=\"font-style: italic;\"> to protective, nurturing </i><strong><i>Cancer, </i></strong>where she will journey <strong>until June 13th; </strong> for those 4 weeks, we value family, loved ones, our home, emotional safety -- and real-estate dealings.\r\n\r\nWe prefer to be around safe, familiar people and places. We\'d rather stay home than socialize; if we do go out, we much prefer dinner parties at someone\'s home to dining out. When it comes to love, be gentle with each other -- and make sure to talk about your feelings.\r\n\r\nWith regards to our finances, it\'s best to stick to what feels safest and most secure. It\'s a favorable time for real-estate and interior design, or anything that makes the home more comfortable and livable.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel more shy for the next 4 weeks. Your heart will want to connect with family and loved ones.

As best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through your relationships.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We\'re also ready to experiment with our financial undertakings -- good places to look: all things \"tech\" (electronics, technology, internet); metaphysics; the arts; group activities.

You may also want to plan Saturday late afternoon and evening ahead of time. (<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Moon sextiles the Sun in Taurus</span>).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 7:11pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday late evening</strong>. <span class=\"s1\">We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-) </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are also a big part of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If there are no children around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?</span></p>\r\nAgain, today<strong> (Saturday),  </strong><span class=\"s1\">it\'s <i>time to take actions on our New Moon intentions</i>: if you set Intentions Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning -- after the New Moon became exact -- today <strong>before 5:14pm </strong>and<strong> after 7:11pm EDT, </strong>will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 20th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Saturday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning</strong>, <em>an opportune Mars/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:55am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from <span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">Monday (May 14th)</span> on, it will remain strong until <span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">next week, Friday (May 25th)</span>. </strong><span class=\"s1\">This is an opportunity to accept the validity of our anger and desire so that we can learn to express these energies naturally and confidently. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This could also inspire us to make resolutions and take actions towards healing our emotional and spiritual wounds. Remember: this is an \"opportunity\" -- those aren\'t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in the following: <span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">29 degrees of</span> <b>Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus, Scorpio, </b><span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">or<b> </b>0-4 degrees</span> of</i><b><i> Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>?

If we can bring compassion and a different point of view to bear on these issues, we will reach a new understanding of ourselves and our life journey.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We have the opportunity to learn from one another; ironically though, we may also feel insecure around others. Whenever Chiron is involved, we are being asked to do some healing work. As best as you can, use this time to learn about your sore spots. Nobody is perfect: we all have our flaws and idiosyncrasies. It\'s ok.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you get triggered by someone, as best as you can, take it as an opportunity to see where this trigger originated -- probably in your childhood. Bring love and compassion to yourself, as you are, and as you were (i.e. your \"wounded child\"). Allow <i>any</i> feelings this may stir up in you. A feeling is just energy that wants to be experienced, and honored; it wants to move through us and out.\r\n</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The more we resist our feelings, the more we keep them spinning in place. As best as you can, move from the head to the heart: What might change, if you showed 5% more compassion toward your inner wounded child? What if you just decided to take an active part in the healing process? </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: <span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">28-29 degrees</span> of </i><b><i>Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i><span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">0-5 degrees</span> of </i><b><i>Cancer, Aries, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>?

We need to develop inner awareness, so we can make adjustments. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">This might concern compromising with others. Our enthusiasm might make us impatient or hasty with others. Our values may not be in alignment with those we work with.

Yahooooo! Bring it on! :-)\r\n\r\n<b>A quick announcement before we get started:</b><b>\r\n</b> Because it is <strong>my birthday this week</strong>, I wanted to give something of value, and I thought with all the changes that are coming, a <strong>30% discount</strong> on my 50-minute Coaching/Healing sessions would be a nice gift for everyone -- especially for those of you who are already doing monthly 25-minute Coaching/Healing sessions with me via the SuperStar Membership.

What is our favorite thing until Tuesday late afternoon? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early morning: </strong>The best way to handle the first few hours of Monday (if you\'re awake) is to slow down a little and focus on what\'s sitting right in front of you, that needs to be taken care of, so you can get to the next phase of accomplishment. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">(Moon in <strong>Taurus</strong> trines Saturn in <strong>Capricorn at 4:58am EDT -- post at 4am EDT)</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late afternoon, </strong>we have an opportunity to...\r\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">***</span><span class=\"s1\"><b>GET IT ALL!

This is a great day to let go of what no longer serves us. As best as you can, avoid jumping the gun: Rather than launching into brand-new endeavors or connections, wait until a couple of days has passed after the New Moon. Some of us might feel a little anxious or nervous today: As best as you can, get quiet and go within… Listen to the silence between the sounds… Find peace in the connection with your innermost and truest Self.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (15th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus</strong></em> <strong>until 4:43pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 7:48am EDT</strong>, the <i>New Moon in 24.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> becomes exact. This marks the beginning of a new Moon cycle. As best as you can, get really quiet, and see if you are getting any new messages or ideas. If you are, harvest them, and fold them into any intentions you set for the new Moon cycle -- I will talk about this process later in the forecast, and I’ll even give you the very best and most potent times for doing it :-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Click here to watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/IvgN28_yRKc\r\n\r\n<i>This New Moon in steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> places more focus on our interactions with the physical world -- you could say that we seek a healthier relationship with “matter\", one in which we are neither too attached, or too disconnected from our bodies, resources (such as money), and the planet we co-inhabit. We are powerfully reminded to take the time to honor the only planet we can currently live on — The Earth — we are called on to honor its resources and beauty.\r\n\r\nIn much the same spirit, we are invited also to honor ourselves, our bodies, our talents. This is a good time for reevaluating our relationship to money and possessions, and for discovering what truly makes us happy and fulfilled. Check in with yourself: What came to mind when you read this?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon trines Mars and Pluto in </i><b><i>Capricorn. </i></b>This combo promotes a realistic and responsible long-term approach. We have the chance to better align our goals with our values; it\'s easier for us to sustain what we have started, and bring a heightened sense of commitment to it all.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I am completely honest, what do I truly want for myself long-term? What really matters to me? If I felt the need to connect to something in a passionate way, what might that be? What truly fulfills me? And what modest step could I take today to move towards my goals?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus, </i>the ruler of Taurus, <i>moves through </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> at the time of the New Moon. This reminds us to learn and discuss Taurean issues: resources, appreciation of physical matter, natural beauty etc.\r\n\r\nThe spiritual quest of <b>Gemini</b>, on the other hand, concerns the development of perception, our powers of thought, and communication. As the creative power of the feminine, Venus in Gemini represents <i>the \"bringing together of opposites\" -- </i>people with different values, for example.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> When I picture this, what do I see? What might this look like in my various communities? How about within my relationships? Could exploring duality help me understand different points of views? Might curiosity be a vital tool in all of this? If so, what could I get curious about? What would 5% more flexibility do for my ability to relate to others?\r\n\r\nAnother thing worth mentioning: <i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>also</i> <i>makes a</i> <i>\"mutual reception\" to Mercury in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> <b><i>--</i></b> in other words, these planets are in each other\'s signs until May 19th; during that time, they \"mutually\" support each other\'s agenda. This gives us the opportunity to connect mind and heart.\r\n\r\nWe seek out mental stimulation: teaching, learning, writing, collecting and processing information, etc.... and we want to share the output in practical ways, applying it to the real world and ourselves, our values, and our physical experience of life.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, allow yourself to take your time processing things that you just started engaging with. In the meantime, stay open to learning, remain curious, and remember that every teacher is also a student and vice versa.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What if I listened to myself 5% more? What if I had 5% more faith that I\'d be heard? What might I discover about my thinking processes and my value? Is it possible my value doesn\'t need to be \"earned\"? What if, without my being alive, nothing else could be as it is?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus, in the last degree of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, makes a square to Mars in the last degree of </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b>at the time of the New Moon (more about this square when it becomes exact on Wednesday). As some of you already know, when a planet is the last degree of a sign, its energy is more exalted, as it knows that a shift is coming -- you could say that the rumbling of its vibration gets louder.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What am I waking to? Where do I need to assert myself? How might I do that while still keeping what I want to create long-term in view? What has been holding me back? What am I ready to address and change? What needs to happen so I can move forward in a mature fashion?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus moves into </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact (more on that below) -- starting its preview through this peace-loving, sensual sign until early November of this year -- I say \"preview\", because Uranus will return to <b>Taurus</b> in March 2019, for a 7 year-transit. These next 28 days will be ripe with shifts and changes, so stay centered in the here and now, expect the unexpected and allow yourself to make an inner shift -- as this paves the way for an outer shift. Flexibility is key!\r\n\r\nWe went over this upcoming shift in more detail in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how Uranus\'s journey through Taurus until 2026 impacts you personally, feel free to get the 120 min. long webinar on the subject; <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product-category/webinars/\">for more info or to purchase, click here</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/UqfQLJ\">https://goo.gl/UqfQLJ</a> The fee for this is only $37, even though the webinar is 30 minutes longer than my usual webinars -- partly because we also cover Chiron\'s journey through Aries until 2027.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">You can also check out a brief excerpt of this webinar, here:</a> <a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">https://goo.gl/844ZMG</a> Enjoy ;-) I also offer a <strong>Special Offer this month</strong>: sign up for Star or SuperStar Membership <strong>by May 31st</strong> (or upgrade from Universal to Star Membership via \"My Account\"), and get this webinar for FREE! If you are already a Star or SuperStar Member check your email for the link to this webinar -- it was emailed to you on April 30th ;-)\r\n\r\nThink back over the last 7 years (i.e. March 2011 - May 2018), while Uranus was in <b>Aries</b>, and <b>ask yourself: </b>Where did I make progress on my goals and desires? What structures needed to be renewed for me to break through and find a new or unique approach to who I\'m being? Do some of those structures actually need to break down? What self-realizations make me stand out and go after things in a more original way? How did this 7-year transit through Aries support my vision?\r\n\r\nIf you have a Birth chart, and know what to look for, look to see what Houses are connected to the <b>Aries</b> energy -- and if that sounds like I\'m talking a foreign language, feel free to watch my video: <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">How to Read Your Birth Chart</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/KMmUUz\">https://goo.gl/KMmUUz</a> <i>or</i> join our next Forecasting Forum on <b>May 31st at 7pm EDT</b>, and ask me your questions there. We will cover the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that starts in June -- that will also be connected to Aries in your chart -- I will definitely explain this in great detail in the Forum ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> conjuncts Uranus in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> -- this alignment is exact on May 13th, in 29º of Aries, two days before the New Moon becomes exact<i>.</i><b><i> </i></b>This could bring some exciting possibilities, perhaps even a leap forward in the evolution of our consciousness, with flashes of insight into our own mental workings and some original thoughts coming through, etc.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, and as much as you want to (of course), stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What might a true breakthrough look like? What insights am I receiving? What is it I\'m learning about myself every day that might change my whole perspective?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury also makes a trine to Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>. With Saturn</i> being a part of the equation it is important for us to learn something new using a mature and realistic approach.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What concrete, practical plans could I make? Could I allow myself to take it one step at a time, staying grounded in the here and now? What does a truthful, realistic alignment with long-term goals look like to me?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> trines Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>at the time of the New Moon, bringing the potential for spiritual inspiration -- and it\'s a great time for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>How might more trust and empathy help my perception of intimate relationships? What might be possible for me if I allowed for things to unfold? What if I allowed myself to see the perfection in everything that I perceive right here, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> It is important to remember that we are part of nature, just like a tree, or an ocean -- our actions and interactions with the only home we have will change it, for good or ill. We are also developing an increasingly profound conscious awareness over the next 28 days that connects us to all that is alive.\r\n\r\nTo bring all this together,<b> ask yourself:</b> What baby steps could I take for the planet I co-inhabit? What would show my love and appreciation? What do I sense when I get very quiet and tune into my own energy field and the energy all around me? What really matters to my heart?\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <i>not</i> during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions </i>would be <b>between</b> <b>7:48am on Tuesday, May 15th and <strong>7:48am EDT Thursday morning (May 17th).</strong></b>\r\n\r\n<i>Note</i>, however, that there is a brief <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a><b> on Tuesday afternoon -- it runs from 4:30pm until 4:43pm EDT. </b><i>Don’t</i> set your intentions during those 13 minutes — instead, allow intuition to surface possible intentions while you wait.

What if I learned to listen right past my conditioning and opinions? What if I took my time to respond? What might my heart want me to say? <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Again, feel free to also watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/IvgN28_yRKc\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 22-27 degrees of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>?

How could you move that to the next level? <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nDuring these times, when Mars travels through Aquarius, we enjoy surprising ourselves and others. The tried-and-true methods of getting things done are far too boring for us right now. We are looking for unique and original goals, and we tend to take a more original, forward-thinking view of the world now. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">What if, when you were least expecting it, you suddenly asked yourself \"How could I surprise the \"old me\" today?\" </span> ;-)\r\n\r\nMental and intellectual pursuits are important to us now. The Aquarian ideal of equality is strong with this position, so we also place a lot of value in freedom and individuality -- our own <i>and</i> that of others. With Mars in this fixed sign, we will definitely need our independence, especially in personal relationships -- and we are not easily pushed around. It\'s best to give ourselves and others lots of space; if we feel boxed in, we may rebel or act contrary.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nIn general, we may feel a desire to push our agenda on others -- not in an aggressive way, though... more in a creative manner. As best as you can, bring a sense of openness to your approach to people and situations. Be aware of feeling superior to others: if you find yourself thinking that someone is less \"special\" than you, put your hand over your heart and ask \"what would my heart say to this?\"\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more detached, forward-thinking and freedom-loving. You may want to change things in your life that have outlived their use. If you are an </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 12.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mars/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:04am EDT. This is the first Mars/Uranus Square of the year in the fixed signs (Aquarius/Taurus). <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last week Monday (May 7th), it will remain strong until next week Friday (May 25th). </strong>This aspect asks us to get in touch with our desires and break away from anything that is holding us back. Passions and anger that we may not even know we had may emerge at this time.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Uranus urges us to let go of the past and focus on a better future.</span> We may feel restless and impatient; we can be very demanding and difficult to please. We tend to feel like progress is too slow and we are tired of waiting. This could be an explosive time, as our inner rebel issues<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>emotional challenges, while outer \"reality\" demands we change course.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, if you are the kind of person that doesn\'t go in for asserting themselves, this is an excellent time to try it out ;-) Do your best not to burn all your bridges, especially with any males in your family or in your various communities. We may also experience an awakening of sorts in regards to our sexuality.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAccidents are unusually likely (though not inevitable), especially if our levels of activity and energy are erratic; to prevent this, stay as grounded as possible and keep breathing! Flexibility and open-mindedness is always helpful... but is especially important now. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Notice when you are digging your heals in about something, this is usually a sign that you have some underlying anxiety about something else. Again, take a deep breath, get centered in your body, close your eyes and focus on your third eye. </span>\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">What am I afraid of happening?</span> How might I channel this restless energy into projects that are asking for progress? How might I channel, or just burn off, all this erratic energy? What kind of exercise might be an energetic match? Where am I stagnating? Where am I able to take innovative action?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or personal planets in </i><i>27-29 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn,</i></b><i> or 0-</i><i>3 </i><i>degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>?

You may also want to plan Thursday afternoon until early evening ahead of time. (<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Moon conjuncts Venus in Gemini</span>).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 5:47pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Saturday evening</strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure though, that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it, otherwise you might start to feel drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (May 18th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday late afternoon/early evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday early afternoon</strong>, <em>a harmonious Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:49pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening (May 16th) on, it will remain strong until Sunday (May 20th). </strong>It will help to interact with integrity and commitment. We can set aside unrealistic views and make concrete, practical plans, that help us explore our long-term goals.  <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe “get to the point” -- no wasted time or words. Seeking a larger understanding, we speak our truth, but temper it with adult caution and moderation. The reality of our beliefs gets clearer and our thought processes are more realistic. It is important for us to learn something new -- with a mature attitude.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>5-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively.

We\'d rather stay home than socialize; if we do go out, we much prefer dinner parties at someone\'s home to dining out. When it comes to love, be gentle with each other -- and make sure to talk about your feelings.\r\n\r\nWith regards to our finances, it\'s best to stick to what feels safest and most secure. It\'s a favorable time for real-estate and interior design, or anything that makes the home more comfortable and livable.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel more shy for the next 4 weeks. Your heart will want to connect to family and loved ones. If you are a</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to have more love and beauty in your life, for as long as Venus is in your sign ;-)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:30pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening (May 17th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Monday morning (May 21st). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This gives us the opportunity to experiment with how we relate to others -- to do something different or unusual -- freedom plays a big part in this aspect.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Of course, others are experimenting too, so you might experience some unusual or unexpected interactions during this time -- it\'s a favorable time for social meetings and events. As best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through your relationships.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We\'re also ready to experiment with our financial undertakings -- good places to look: all things \"tech\" (electronics, technology, internet); metaphysics; the arts; group activities. This is not the best time to make long-term financial investments not suggested in an intuitive flash ;-)</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">28-29 degrees</span> of <strong>Gemini</strong></i><b><i>, Aries, Leo, </i></b><b><i>Aquarius, </i></b><i><span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">or 0-2 degrees</span> of <strong>Cancer, Taurus, Pisces, </strong>or<strong> Virgo</strong></i><i>?

You may also want to plan Saturday late afternoon and evening ahead of time. (<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Moon sextiles the Sun in Taurus</span>).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 7:11pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday late evening</strong>. <span class=\"s1\">We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-) </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games and romance are a big part of this energy as well. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If there are no \"outer children\" around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?</span></p>\r\nAgain, today<strong> (Saturday),  </strong><span class=\"s1\">it\'s <i>time to take actions on our New Moon intentions</i>: if you set Intentions Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning -- after the New Moon became exact -- today <strong>before 5:14pm </strong>and<strong> after 7:11pm EDT, </strong>will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 20th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Saturday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning</strong>, <em>an opportune Mars/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:55am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from <span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">Monday (May 14th)</span> on, it will remain strong until <span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">next week, Friday (May 25th)</span>. </strong><span class=\"s1\">This is an opportunity to accept the validity of our anger and desire, so that we can learn to express these energies naturally and confidently. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This could also inspire us to make resolutions and take actions towards healing our emotional and spiritual wounds. Remember: this is an \"opportunity\" -- those aren\'t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in the following: <span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">29 degrees of</span> <b>Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus, Scorpio, </b><span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">or<b> </b>0-4 degrees</span> of</i><b><i> Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, </i></span><span class=\"s1\"><i>you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Aries </i></b><i>(Mars rules Aries)</i></span></p>\r\n<strong>Sunday late afternoon</strong>, <em>a challenging Venus/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:24pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday night (May 17th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Wednesday (May 23rd). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This aspect asks us to stretch past injuries and insecurities in our relationships, self-worth and finances. If we can bring compassion and a different point of view to these issues, we will reach a new understanding of ourselves and our life journey.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We have the opportunity to learn from one another; ironically though, we may also feel insecure around others. Whenever Chiron is involved, we are being asked to do some healing work. As best as you can, use this time to learn about your sore spots. Nobody is perfect: we all have our flaws and idiosyncrasies. It\'s ok.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you get triggered by someone, as best as you can, take it as an opportunity to see where this trigger originated -- probably in your childhood. Bring love and compassion to yourself, as you are, and as you were (i.e. your \"wounded child\"). Allow <i>any</i> feelings this may stir up in you. A feeling is just energy that wants to be experienced, and honored; it wants to move through us and out.\r\n</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The more we resist our feelings, the more we keep them spinning in place. As best as you can, move from the head to the heart. What might change, if you showed 5% more compassion toward your inner wounded child? What if you just decided to take an active part in the healing process? </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: <span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">28-29 degrees</span> of </i><b><i>Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i><span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">0-5 degrees</span> of </i><b><i>Cancer, Aries, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).</i></span><span class=\"s2\"> </span></p>\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 10:06pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from early morning (May 20th) on, it will remain strong until Monday evening (May 21st). </strong><span class=\"s1\">We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward; we need to make a choice. We need to develop inner awareness, so we can make adjustments. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">This might concern compromising with others. Our enthusiasm might make us impatient or hasty with others. Our values may not be in alignment with those we work with. As best as you can, keep choosing the \"better\" alternative, adjusting as needed.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">When life slows down, or becomes uncomfortable, simplify and be patient. We are changing and growing in ways that we can\'t comprehend right now. Stay as open and observant as you can.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-3 degrees of</i><b><i> Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> (Venus rules Taurus and Libra; Mars rules Aries)</i></span></p>\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening at 10:15pm EDT</strong>,<em> </em><span class=\"s1\"><i>the Sun changes signs from steady, sensual</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>to versatile, fast-thinking</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b>.</span><span class=\"s2\"> It will journey through Gemini <b>until June 21st.</b> With the Sun in Gemini, the urge for self-expression is strong. We may be extra interested in collecting and sharing information. This is a time when curiosity and adaptability are favored. We are more flexible, changeable and adaptable -- which makes us quite social as well.</span>\r\n\r\nWe enjoy intellectual conversations and we can easily become bored if we are not getting enough mental stimulation at this time. We are more objective and observant, but prefer to keep things light and easy. There is usually a nervousness in the air at this time as well, as we are constantly seeking to connect and have new interactions. “Sharing” is the name of the game.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Gemini, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo your vitality will most likely speed up and you feel more chatty than usual.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 11:30 pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 22.5 hours, <strong>until 10:03pm EDT </strong>(Monday late evening, May 21st). <span class=\"s1\">We are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we feel a strong need to have fun and be creative or self-expressed.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">On the other hand, we want to explore deep, authentic -- even intimate -- connections to ourselves or others. Do your best to use this intuitive time to make adjustments, slow things down a little, and find creative solutions that honor both drives.</span></p>\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

However, it also represents our greatest chance to overcome it and become whole. And with the spiritual insight of Uranus we can recognize the unity of body and soul not only in ourselves but in everything that exists... Chiron is not about achieving mastery through diligence and hard work as is the case with Saturn, or by releasing the energy bound to traumatic experiences as is the case with Pluto, but simply by accepting the deficit of not being \"whole\"... Only through our experiences with this feeling and the acceptance of not being \"whole\" can we begin to understand this problem in others... We share with others our compassion, our understanding, our experiences, and by doing this we can help them. This doesn\'t entail sacrificing something which makes us \"poorer\", on the contrary, we\"achieve\" a connection, create a wholeness where before there was division.\"</em>\n\n<img class=\"size-large wp-image-3163 alignnone\" src=\"https://astrologercoach.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Inner-and-Outer-planets-visual-1024x704.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"704\" />\n\nLook at the house placement of Chiron in your chart and at the ruler of the sign Chiron occupies.\n\nChiron in the natal chart points to our deepest wounds, whether physical, emotional, mental or spiritual – anything we wish hadn’t happened to us. This is also our “shadow” – the parts of ourselves we had to ignore, condemn, or lock away, in order to live within our family and society.\n\nAs Carl Jung so memorably said though ”The gold is always in the shadows”. Within these locked and darkened rooms lie all our benefits, blessings, lessons and gifts. When we reintegrate what we banished, we become truly unique – unlike anyone else who has ever lived. Chiron tells us that, no matter how painful or shameful, <em>every </em>wound holds a gift.\n\nTrying to “fix” these wounds sends the message that the wound itself is “wrong” and we are broken because of it – we are just driving it deeper into the shadow. The healing path to wholeness is simply to approach the wound ‐‐ and to accept our own perfection, exactly as we are (and are not). We sit with the wound compassionately, as we would with a wounded relative, until it reveals its gifts.\n\nChiron is not only a pointer then, it is also a catalyst for “self‐alchemy” – a way to turn our personal “base metals” into gold. It is both guide and process in this quantum leap of consciousness.\n\n<strong>Chiron</strong>: Bridge between Saturn and Uranus, link between social and outer planets: connects the worldly with the spiritual, the physical with the non-physical, we are being reminded of our humanity and to see it as a gift\n\n<strong>Outer planets</strong>: Uranus, Neptune and Pluto: they connect us to the Soul’s wishes, dreams and desires\n\n<strong>Uranus:</strong>The Soul’s wish for freedom and change (idealistic): divine creativity, innovation and intelligence (speed things up)\n\n<strong>Neptune:</strong>The Soul’s dream of oneness and unconditional love (spiritual):\n\nDivine love, presence and creativity (slows things down)\n\n<strong>Pluto:</strong>The Soul’s desire for feeling fully empowered and passionate about life (emotional): divine will, purpose and power (deepens our experiences)\n\n<strong>Moon Nodes</strong>: represent our Soul’s Journey: Past, Future and the integration of the two in the Present\n\n<strong>Look at the house placement of Chiron in your chart and at the ruler of the sign Chiron occupies.</strong>\n\n<strong>Chiron in Aries:</strong>\nApril 1st 1968 – Oct.18th 1968\nJanuary 31st 1969 – May 28th 1976\nOct. 14th 1976 – March 28th 1977\n\n<strong>Chiron in Taurus</strong>\nMay 29th 1976 – Oct. 13th 1976\nMarch 29th 1977 – June 19th 1983\nNov. 30th 1983 – April 11th 1984\n\n<strong>Chiron in Gemini</strong>\nJune 20th 1983 – Nov. 29th 1983\nApril 12th 1984 – June 21st 1988\n\n<strong>Chiron in Cancer</strong>\nJan. 1st 1940 – June 17th 1941\nJune 22nd 1988 – July 21st 1991\n\n<strong>Chiron in Leo</strong>\nOct. 1st 1940 – Dec. 31st 1940\nJune 18th 1941 – July 27th 1943\nJuly 22nd 1991 – Sept. 4th 1993\n\n<strong>Chiron in Virgo</strong>\nJuly 28th 1943 – Nov. 18th 1944\nMarch 25th 1945 – July 22nd 1945\nSept. 5th 1993 – Sept. 8th 1995\n\n<strong>Chiron in Libra</strong>\nNov.19th 1944 – March 24th 1945\nJuly 23rd 1945 – Nov. 10th 1946\nSept. 9th 1995 – Dec.29th 1996\nApril 6th 1997 – Sept. 3rd 1997\n\n<strong>Chiron in Scorpio</strong>\nNov.11th 1946 – Nov.28th 1948\nSept. 4th 1997 – Jan. 7th 1999\nJune 2nd 1999 – Sept. 22nd 1999\n\n<strong>Chiron in Sagittarius:</strong>\nNov. 29th 1948 – Feb. 9th 1951\nJune 19th 1951 – Nov.4th 1951\n\n<strong>Chiron in Capricorn</strong>\nFeb. 10th 1951 – June 18th 1951\nNov.5th 1951 – Jan. 28th 1955\n\n<strong>Chiron in Aquarius</strong>\nJan. 29th 1955 – March 26th 1960\nAug. 20th 1960 – Jan. 20th 1961\n\n<strong>Chiron in Pisces</strong>\nMarch 27th 1960 – Aug. 19th 1960\nJan. 21st 1961 – March 31st 1968\nOct. 19th 1968 – Jan. 30th 1969\n\n<strong>How are Pluto and Chiron Different?</strong>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong><em>Pluto</em></strong></td>\n<td><strong><em>Chiron</em></strong></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Empowerment process</td>\n<td>Healing process</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Letting go of what’s dead and toxic</td>\n<td>Acceptance, embracing our imperfections – allowing ourselves to be human, with compassion for our limitations</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td> Trauma or disempowerment from the past</td>\n<td>A wound handed down from our ancestors</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Attachments/control – holding on out of fear, wanting to protect ourselves</td>\n<td>Insecurity, shame, abandonment</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\nImagine you’re looking inside a refrigerator…\n\nYou spot a piece of fruit that’s been in there for too long and is starting to rot. You take it out and throw it away, so that the rest of the fruit doesn’t rot as well. We let the dead, toxic fruit go, so we can feel healthy and empowered. That’s Pluto…\n\nBut perhaps there’s another piece of fruit in the refrigerator, that has a dimple or looks crooked. We don’t necessarily throw it out – it’s not bad, it’s just “wounded”. We accept it for what it is and develop compassion for its “flaw”, for being less than perfect. We develop an understanding about what it’s like to be less-than-perfect and can therefore accept this in others as well.\n\nThat’s Chiron – the Wound itself feels like it is a “disconnect”, but it is actually the connector between the physical and spiritual realms. Through the wound, we have the ability to learn compassion, and allow ourselves to be unique.\n\n<strong>Conjunction:</strong> 0 degrees: they have a first house/Aries/Mars feel to them:\n<ul>\n 	<li>Powerful connections</li>\n 	<li>Emphasis</li>\n 	<li>New beginnings</li>\n</ul>\nPlanets involved are in the same sign\n\n<strong>Square:</strong> 90 degrees: they have a cardinal feel:\n<ul>\n 	<li>Dynamic action required</li>\n 	<li>Stimulating</li>\n 	<li>Stress/Stretch/Growth</li>\n 	<li>Healthy Challenge</li>\n 	<li>A need to Evolve</li>\n</ul>\nOpening Square: they have a [first house/Aries/Mars – fourth House/Cancer/Moon] feel to them:\n<ul>\n 	<li>more emotional</li>\n 	<li>feeling of uncertainty</li>\n 	<li>flexibility is required/ creative solutions are necessary</li>\n 	<li>feels uncomfortable because it’s a new and different situation</li>\n 	<li>need to move forward, make progress</li>\n</ul>\nClosing Square: they have a [first house/Aries/Mars – tenth House/Capricorn/Saturn] feel to them:\n<ul>\n 	<li>brings up our fears</li>\n 	<li>more about taking responsibility</li>\n 	<li>feels like pressure</li>\n 	<li>requires making mature decisions</li>\n 	<li>it’s time to wrap things up</li>\n</ul>\nSigns involved have the same modality (Cardinal, Fixed or Mutable)\n\n<strong>Opposition:</strong> 180 degrees: they have a [first house/Aries/Mars – seventh House/Libra/Venus] feel to them:\n<ul>\n 	<li>it’s all about awareness through conflict: self-awareness and awareness of the other</li>\n 	<li>this leads to: cooperation</li>\n 	<li>this leads to balance/harmony: inner and outer</li>\n</ul>\nSigns involved are opposite each other (same modality, opposite sign)\n\n<strong>Trine:</strong> 120 degrees: they have a [first house/Aries/Mars – fifth House/Leo/Sun] feel to them:\n<ul>\n 	<li>harmonious</li>\n 	<li>confident/centered</li>\n 	<li>creative flow</li>\n</ul>\nthey can also have a [first house/Aries/Mars – ninth House/Sagittarius/Jupiter] feel to them:\n<ul>\n 	<li>indulgent/expansive</li>\n 	<li>overly confident/optimistic</li>\n 	<li>inspirational</li>\n 	<li>flow and ease</li>\n</ul>\nSigns involved have the same element (Fire, Earth, Air, Water)\n\n<strong>Inconjunct:</strong> 150 degrees: they have a [first house/Aries/Mars – sixth House/Virgo/Mercury] feel to them:\n<ul>\n 	<li>requires adjustments/flexibility</li>\n 	<li>internal stress/strain</li>\n 	<li>requires re-organisation</li>\n 	<li>awareness and a new perspective is required</li>\n</ul>\nthey can also have a [first house/Aries/Mars – eighth House/Scorpio/Pluto] feel to them:\n<ul>\n 	<li>all of the above</li>\n 	<li>plus going deeper, researching our options</li>\n 	<li>fully embracing all of energies involved</li>\n 	<li>requires the ability to release what no longer serves us</li>\n</ul>\nSigns involved have nothing in common (differnet element, modality and nature: feminine/masculine)\n\n<strong>Sextile:</strong> 60 degrees: they have a [first house/Aries/Mars – third House/Gemini/Mercury] feel to them:\n<ul>\n 	<li>opportunity to make something happen by taking actions</li>\n 	<li>opportunity to be productive or creative</li>\n 	<li>easy communication between the two planets involved</li>\n 	<li>compatibility</li>\n 	<li>must use them actively to benefit</li>\n</ul>\nthey can also have a [first house/Aries/Mars – eleventh House/Aquarius/Uranus] feel to them:\n<ul>\n 	<li>all of the above</li>\n 	<li>plus Self-expression with a cause</li>\n 	<li>friendly, supportive energies to realize a better future</li>\n 	<li>possibilities that are waiting to be realized</li>\n</ul>\nSigns involved are both feminine or both masculine in nature (Fire &amp; Air signs or Earth &amp; Water signs)\n<h3><strong>More Course Materials:</strong></h3>\n<ul>\n 	<li><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/12-Zodiac-signs-w-rulership-planets-copy.pdf\">12 Zodiac signs w-rulership planets</a></li>\n 	<li><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Chiron_s-orbit-copy.pdf\">Chiron_s orbit</a></li>\n 	<li><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/empty-chart-copy.pdf\">empty chart</a></li>\n 	<li><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Sonja-Francis-natal-copy.pdf\">Sonja Francis - natal</a></li>\n</ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">sonja@AstrologerCoach.com</span>\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"> www.AstrologerCoach.com</span>\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\"> www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis</span></p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">All written materials handed out are © 2013 by Astrologer Coach Sonja Francis</p>', 'Chiron: Healing with Astrology (Members)', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '3440-autosave-v1', '', '', '2018-05-18 17:51:13', '2018-05-18 21:51:13', '', '3440', 'https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/3440-autosave-v1/', '0', 'revision', '', '0');

What is our favorite thing until Tuesday late afternoon? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early morning: </strong>The best way to handle the first few hours of Monday (if you\'re awake) is to slow down a little and focus on what\'s sitting right in front of you, that needs to be taken care of, so you can get to the next phase of accomplishment. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">(Moon in <strong>Taurus</strong> trines Saturn in <strong>Capricorn at 4:58am EDT -- post at 4am EDT)</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late afternoon, </strong>we have an opportunity to...\r\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">***</span><span class=\"s1\"><b>GET IT ALL!

This is a great day to let go of what no longer serves us. As best as you can, avoid jumping the gun: Rather than launching into brand-new endeavors or connections, wait until a couple of days has passed after the New Moon. Some of us might feel a little anxious or nervous today: As best as you can, get quiet and go within… Listen to the silence between the sounds… Find peace in the connection with your innermost and truest Self.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (15th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus</strong></em> <strong>until 4:43pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 7:48am EDT</strong>, the <i>New Moon in 24.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> becomes exact. This marks the beginning of a new Moon cycle. As best as you can, get really quiet, and see if you are getting any new messages or ideas. If you are, harvest them, and fold them into any intentions you set for the new Moon cycle -- I will talk about this process later in the forecast, and I’ll even give you the very best and most potent times for doing it :-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Click here to watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/IvgN28_yRKc\r\n\r\n<i>This New Moon in steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> places more focus on our interactions with the physical world -- you could say that we seek a healthier relationship with “matter\", one in which we are neither too attached, or too disconnected from our bodies, resources (such as money), and the planet we co-inhabit. We are powerfully reminded to take the time to honor the only planet we can currently live on — The Earth — we are called on to honor its resources and beauty.\r\n\r\nIn much the same spirit, we are invited also to honor ourselves, our bodies, our talents. This is a good time for reevaluating our relationship to money and possessions, and for discovering what truly makes us happy and fulfilled. Check in with yourself: What came to mind when you read this?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon trines Mars and Pluto in </i><b><i>Capricorn. </i></b>This combo promotes a realistic and responsible long-term approach. We have the chance to better align our goals with our values; it\'s easier for us to sustain what we have started, and bring a heightened sense of commitment to it all.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I am completely honest, what do I truly want for myself long-term? What really matters to me? If I felt the need to connect to something in a passionate way, what might that be? What truly fulfills me? And what modest step could I take today to move towards my goals?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus, </i>the ruler of Taurus, <i>moves through </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> at the time of the New Moon. This reminds us to learn and discuss Taurean issues: resources, appreciation of physical matter, natural beauty etc.\r\n\r\nThe spiritual quest of <b>Gemini</b>, on the other hand, concerns the development of perception, our powers of thought, and communication. As the creative power of the feminine, Venus in Gemini represents <i>the \"bringing together of opposites\" -- </i>people with different values, for example.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> When I picture this, what do I see? What might this look like in my various communities? How about within my relationships? Could exploring duality help me understand different points of views? Might curiosity be a vital tool in all of this? If so, what could I get curious about? What would 5% more flexibility do for my ability to relate to others?\r\n\r\nAnother thing worth mentioning: <i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>also</i> <i>makes a</i> <i>\"mutual reception\" to Mercury in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> <b><i>--</i></b> in other words, these planets are in each other\'s signs until May 19th; during that time, they \"mutually\" support each other\'s agenda. This gives us the opportunity to connect mind and heart.\r\n\r\nWe seek out mental stimulation: teaching, learning, writing, collecting and processing information, etc.... and we want to share the output in practical ways, applying it to the real world and ourselves, our values, and our physical experience of life.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, allow yourself to take your time processing things that you just started engaging with. In the meantime, stay open to learning, remain curious, and remember that every teacher is also a student and vice versa.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What if I listened to myself 5% more? What if I had 5% more faith that I\'d be heard? What might I discover about my thinking processes and my value? Is it possible my value doesn\'t need to be \"earned\"? What if, without my being alive, nothing else could be as it is?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus, in the last degree of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, makes a square to Mars in the last degree of </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b>at the time of the New Moon (more about this square when it becomes exact on Wednesday). As some of you already know, when a planet is the last degree of a sign, its energy is more exalted, as it knows that a shift is coming -- you could say that the rumbling of its vibration gets louder.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What am I waking to? Where do I need to assert myself? How might I do that while still keeping what I want to create long-term in view? What has been holding me back? What am I ready to address and change? What needs to happen so I can move forward in a mature fashion?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus moves into </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact (more on that below) -- starting its preview through this peace-loving, sensual sign until early November of this year -- I say \"preview\", because Uranus will return to <b>Taurus</b> in March 2019, for a 7 year-transit. These next 28 days will be ripe with shifts and changes, so stay centered in the here and now, expect the unexpected and allow yourself to make an inner shift -- as this paves the way for an outer shift. Flexibility is key!\r\n\r\nWe went over this upcoming shift in more detail in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how Uranus\'s journey through Taurus until 2026 impacts you personally, feel free to get the 120 min. long webinar on the subject; <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product-category/webinars/\">for more info or to purchase, click here</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/UqfQLJ\">https://goo.gl/UqfQLJ</a> The fee for this is only $37, even though the webinar is 30 minutes longer than my usual webinars -- partly because we also cover Chiron\'s journey through Aries until 2027.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">You can also check out a brief excerpt of this webinar, here:</a> <a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">https://goo.gl/844ZMG</a> Enjoy ;-) I also offer a <strong>Special Offer this month</strong>: sign up for Star or SuperStar Membership <strong>by May 31st</strong> (or upgrade from Universal to Star Membership via \"My Account\"), and get this webinar for FREE! If you are already a Star or SuperStar Member check your email for the link to this webinar -- it was emailed to you on April 30th ;-)\r\n\r\nThink back over the last 7 years (i.e. March 2011 - May 2018), while Uranus was in <b>Aries</b>, and <b>ask yourself: </b>Where did I make progress on my goals and desires? What structures needed to be renewed for me to break through and find a new or unique approach to who I\'m being? Do some of those structures actually need to break down? What self-realizations make me stand out and go after things in a more original way? How did this 7-year transit through Aries support my vision?\r\n\r\nIf you have a Birth chart, and know what to look for, look to see what Houses are connected to the <b>Aries</b> energy -- and if that sounds like I\'m talking a foreign language, feel free to watch my video: <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">How to Read Your Birth Chart</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/KMmUUz\">https://goo.gl/KMmUUz</a> <i>or</i> join our next Forecasting Forum on <b>May 31st at 7pm EDT</b>, and ask me your questions there. We will cover the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that starts in June -- that will also be connected to Aries in your chart -- I will definitely explain this in great detail in the Forum ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> conjuncts Uranus in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> -- this alignment is exact on May 13th, in 29º of Aries, two days before the New Moon becomes exact<i>.</i><b><i> </i></b>This could bring some exciting possibilities, perhaps even a leap forward in the evolution of our consciousness, with flashes of insight into our own mental workings and some original thoughts coming through, etc.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, and as much as you want to (of course), stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What might a true breakthrough look like? What insights am I receiving? What is it I\'m learning about myself every day that might change my whole perspective?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury also makes a trine to Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>. With Saturn</i> being a part of the equation it is important for us to learn something new using a mature and realistic approach.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What concrete, practical plans could I make? Could I allow myself to take it one step at a time, staying grounded in the here and now? What does a truthful, realistic alignment with long-term goals look like to me?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> trines Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>at the time of the New Moon, bringing the potential for spiritual inspiration -- and it\'s a great time for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>How might more trust and empathy help my perception of intimate relationships? What might be possible for me if I allowed for things to unfold? What if I allowed myself to see the perfection in everything that I perceive right here, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> It is important to remember that we are part of nature, just like a tree, or an ocean -- our actions and interactions with the only home we have will change it, for good or ill. We are also developing an increasingly profound conscious awareness over the next 28 days that connects us to all that is alive.\r\n\r\nTo bring all this together,<b> ask yourself:</b> What baby steps could I take for the planet I co-inhabit? What would show my love and appreciation? What do I sense when I get very quiet and tune into my own energy field and the energy all around me? What really matters to my heart?\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <i>not</i> during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions </i>would be <b>between</b> <b>7:48am on Tuesday, May 15th and <strong>7:48am EDT Thursday morning (May 17th).</strong></b>\r\n\r\n<i>Note</i>, however, that there is a brief <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a><b> on Tuesday afternoon -- it runs from 4:30pm until 4:43pm EDT. </b><i>Don’t</i> set your intentions during those 13 minutes — instead, allow intuition to surface possible intentions while you wait.

What if I learned to listen right past my conditioning and opinions? What if I took my time to respond?

Mars will be stationing in Aquarius, and retrograding back into Capricorn.

How could you move that to the next level? <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nDuring these times, when Mars travels through Aquarius, we enjoy surprising ourselves and others. The tried-and-true methods of getting things done are far too boring for us right now. We are looking for unique and original goals, and we tend to take a more original, forward-thinking view of the world now. What if, when you were least expecting it, you suddenly asked yourself \"How could I surprise the \"old me\" today?\"  ;-)\r\n\r\nMental and intellectual pursuits are important to us now. The Aquarian ideal of equality is strong with this position, so we also place a lot of value in freedom and individuality -- our own <i>and</i> that of others. With Mars in this fixed sign, we will definitely need our independence, especially in personal relationships -- and we are not easily pushed around. It\'s best to give ourselves and others lots of space; if we feel boxed in, we may rebel or act contrary.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nIn general, we may feel a desire to push our agenda on others -- not in an aggressive way, though... more in a creative manner. As best as you can, bring a sense of openness to your approach to people and situations. Be aware of feeling superior to others: if you find yourself thinking that someone is less \"special\" than you, put your hand over your heart and ask \"what would my heart say to this?\"\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more detached, forward-thinking and freedom-loving. You may want to change things in your life that have outlived their use. If you are an </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 12.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mars/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:04am EDT. This is the first Mars/Uranus Square of the year in the fixed signs (Aquarius/Taurus). <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last week Monday (May 7th), it will remain strong until next week Friday (May 25th). </strong>This aspect asks us to get in touch with our desires and break away from anything that is holding us back. Passions and anger that we may not even know we had may emerge at this time.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nUranus urges us to let go of the past and focus on a better future. We may feel restless and impatient; we can be very demanding and difficult to please. We tend to feel like progress is too slow and we are tired of waiting. This could be an explosive time, as our inner rebel issues<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>emotional challenges, while outer \"reality\" demands we change course.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, if you are the kind of person that doesn\'t go in for asserting themselves, this is an excellent time to try it out ;-) Do your best not to burn all your bridges, especially with any males in your family or in your various communities. We may also experience an awakening of sorts in regards to our sexuality.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAccidents are unusually likely (though not inevitable), especially if our levels of activity and energy are erratic; to prevent this, stay as grounded as possible and keep breathing! Flexibility and open-mindedness are always helpful but are especially important now. Notice when you are digging your heels in about something, this is usually a sign that you have some underlying anxiety about something else; again, take a deep breath, get centered in your body, close your eyes and focus on your third eye.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What am I afraid of happening? How might I channel this restless energy into projects that are asking for progress? How might I channel, or just burn off, all this erratic energy? What kind of exercise might be an energetic match? Where am I stagnating? Where am I able to take innovative action?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or personal planets in </i><i>27-29 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn,</i></b><i> or 0-</i><i>3 </i><i>degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>?

You may also want to plan Thursday afternoon until early evening ahead of time. (<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Moon conjuncts Venus in Gemini</span>).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 5:47pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Saturday evening</strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it -- otherwise, you risk becoming drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (May 18th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday late afternoon/early evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday early afternoon</strong>, <em>a harmonious Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:49pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening (May 16th) on, it will remain strong until Sunday (May 20th). </strong>It will help to interact with integrity and commitment. We can set aside unrealistic views and make concrete, practical plans, that help us explore our long-term goals.  <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe “get to the point” with no wasted time or words. Seeking a larger understanding, we speak our truth but temper it with adult caution and moderation. The reality of our beliefs gets clearer and our thought processes are more realistic. It is important for us to learn something new, with a mature attitude.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>5-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (May 19th)</strong>:<em> the Moon remains in protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer</strong></em> <strong>until 7:11pm EDT</strong> (see Thursday early evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday morning at 9:11am EDT</strong>, <i style=\"font-style: italic;\">Venus changes signs from chatty, versatile &amp; curious</i><i> </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Gemini</strong><i style=\"font-style: italic;\"> to protective, nurturing </i><strong><i>Cancer, </i></strong>where she will journey <strong>until June 13th; </strong> for those 4 weeks, we value family, loved ones, our home, emotional safety -- and real-estate dealings.\r\n\r\nWe prefer to be around safe, familiar people and places. We\'d rather stay home than socialize; if we do go out, we much prefer dinner parties at someone\'s home to dining out. When it comes to love, be gentle with each other -- and make sure to talk about your feelings.\r\n\r\nWith regards to our finances, it\'s best to stick to what feels safest and most secure. It\'s a favorable time for real-estate and interior design, or anything that makes the home more comfortable and livable.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel more shy for the next 4 weeks. Your heart will want to connect with family and loved ones.

As best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through your relationships.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We\'re also ready to experiment with our financial undertakings -- good places to look: all things \"tech\" (electronics, technology, internet); metaphysics; the arts; group activities.

We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-) </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are also a big part of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If there are no children around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?</span></p>\r\nAgain, today<strong> (Saturday),  </strong><span class=\"s1\">it\'s <i>time to take actions on our New Moon intentions</i>: if you set Intentions Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning -- after the New Moon became exact -- today <strong>before 5:14pm </strong>and<strong> after 7:11pm EDT, </strong>will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 20th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Saturday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning</strong>, <em>an opportune Mars/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:55am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from <span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">Monday (May 14th)</span> on, it will remain strong until <span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">next week, Friday (May 25th)</span>. </strong><span class=\"s1\">This is an opportunity to accept the validity of our anger and desire so that we can learn to express these energies naturally and confidently. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This could also inspire us to make resolutions and take actions towards healing our emotional and spiritual wounds. Remember: this is an \"opportunity\" -- those aren\'t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in the following: <span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">29 degrees of</span> <b>Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus, Scorpio, </b><span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">or<b> </b>0-4 degrees</span> of</i><b><i> Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>?

If we can bring compassion and a different point of view to bear on these issues, we will reach a new understanding of ourselves and our life journey.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We have the opportunity to learn from one another; ironically though, we may also feel insecure around others. Whenever Chiron is involved, we are being asked to do some healing work. As best as you can, use this time to learn about your sore spots. Nobody is perfect: we all have our flaws and idiosyncrasies. It\'s ok.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you get triggered by someone, as best as you can, take it as an opportunity to see where this trigger originated -- probably in your childhood. Bring love and compassion to yourself, as you are, and as you were (i.e. your \"wounded child\"). Allow <i>any</i> feelings this may stir up in you. A feeling is just energy that wants to be experienced, and honored; it wants to move through us and out.\r\n</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The more we resist our feelings, the more we keep them spinning in place. As best as you can, move from the head to the heart: What might change, if you showed 5% more compassion toward your inner wounded child? What if you just decided to take an active part in the healing process? </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: <span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">28-29 degrees</span> of </i><b><i>Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i><span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">0-5 degrees</span> of </i><b><i>Cancer, Aries, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>?

We need to develop inner awareness, so we can make adjustments. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">This might concern compromising with others.

We are more objective and observant but prefer to keep things light and easy. There is usually a nervousness in the air at this time as well, as we are constantly seeking to connect and have new interactions. “Sharing” is the name of the game.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign.

Yahooooo! Bring it on! :-)\r\n\r\n<b>A quick announcement before we get started:</b><b>\r\n</b> Because it is <strong>my birthday this week</strong>, I wanted to give something of value, and I thought with all the changes that are coming, a <strong>30% discount</strong> on my 50-minute Coaching/Healing sessions would be a nice gift for everyone -- especially for those of you who are already doing monthly 25-minute Coaching/Healing sessions with me via the SuperStar Membership.

What is our favorite thing until Tuesday late afternoon? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early morning: </strong>The best way to handle the first few hours of Monday (if you\'re awake) is to slow down a little and focus on what\'s sitting right in front of you, that needs to be taken care of, so you can get to the next phase of accomplishment. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">(Moon in <strong>Taurus</strong> trines Saturn in <strong>Capricorn at 4:58am EDT -- post at 4am EDT)</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late afternoon, </strong>we have an opportunity to...\r\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">***</span><span class=\"s1\"><b>GET IT ALL!

This is a great day to let go of what no longer serves us. As best as you can, avoid jumping the gun: Rather than launching into brand-new endeavors or connections, wait until a couple of days has passed after the New Moon. Some of us might feel a little anxious or nervous today: As best as you can, get quiet and go within… Listen to the silence between the sounds… Find peace in the connection with your innermost and truest Self.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (15th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus</strong></em> <strong>until 4:43pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 7:48am EDT</strong>, the <i>New Moon in 24.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> becomes exact. This marks the beginning of a new Moon cycle. As best as you can, get really quiet, and see if you are getting any new messages or ideas. If you are, harvest them, and fold them into any intentions you set for the new Moon cycle -- I will talk about this process later in the forecast, and I’ll even give you the very best and most potent times for doing it :-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Click here to watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/IvgN28_yRKc\r\n\r\n<i>This New Moon in steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> places more focus on our interactions with the physical world -- you could say that we seek a healthier relationship with “matter\", one in which we are neither too attached, or too disconnected from our bodies, resources (such as money), and the planet we co-inhabit. We are powerfully reminded to take the time to honor the only planet we can currently live on — The Earth — we are called on to honor its resources and beauty.\r\n\r\nIn much the same spirit, we are invited also to honor ourselves, our bodies, our talents. This is a good time for reevaluating our relationship to money and possessions, and for discovering what truly makes us happy and fulfilled. Check in with yourself: What came to mind when you read this?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon trines Mars and Pluto in </i><b><i>Capricorn. </i></b>This combo promotes a realistic and responsible long-term approach. We have the chance to better align our goals with our values; it\'s easier for us to sustain what we have started, and bring a heightened sense of commitment to it all.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I am completely honest, what do I truly want for myself long-term? What really matters to me? If I felt the need to connect to something in a passionate way, what might that be? What truly fulfills me? And what modest step could I take today to move towards my goals?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus, </i>the ruler of Taurus, <i>moves through </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> at the time of the New Moon. This reminds us to learn and discuss Taurean issues: resources, appreciation of physical matter, natural beauty etc.\r\n\r\nThe spiritual quest of <b>Gemini</b>, on the other hand, concerns the development of perception, our powers of thought, and communication. As the creative power of the feminine, Venus in Gemini represents <i>the \"bringing together of opposites\" -- </i>people with different values, for example.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> When I picture this, what do I see? What might this look like in my various communities? How about within my relationships? Could exploring duality help me understand different points of views? Might curiosity be a vital tool in all of this? If so, what could I get curious about? What would 5% more flexibility do for my ability to relate to others?\r\n\r\nAnother thing worth mentioning: <i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>also</i> <i>makes a</i> <i>\"mutual reception\" to Mercury in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> <b><i>--</i></b> in other words, these planets are in each other\'s signs until May 19th; during that time, they \"mutually\" support each other\'s agenda. This gives us the opportunity to connect mind and heart.\r\n\r\nWe seek out mental stimulation: teaching, learning, writing, collecting and processing information, etc.... and we want to share the output in practical ways, applying it to the real world and ourselves, our values, and our physical experience of life.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, allow yourself to take your time processing things that you just started engaging with. In the meantime, stay open to learning, remain curious, and remember that every teacher is also a student and vice versa.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What if I listened to myself 5% more? What if I had 5% more faith that I\'d be heard? What might I discover about my thinking processes and my value? Is it possible my value doesn\'t need to be \"earned\"? What if, without my being alive, nothing else could be as it is?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus, in the last degree of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, makes a square to Mars in the last degree of </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b>at the time of the New Moon (more about this square when it becomes exact on Wednesday). As some of you already know, when a planet is the last degree of a sign, its energy is more exalted, as it knows that a shift is coming -- you could say that the rumbling of its vibration gets louder.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What am I waking to? Where do I need to assert myself? How might I do that while still keeping what I want to create long-term in view? What has been holding me back? What am I ready to address and change? What needs to happen so I can move forward in a mature fashion?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus moves into </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact (more on that below) -- starting its preview through this peace-loving, sensual sign until early November of this year -- I say \"preview\", because Uranus will return to <b>Taurus</b> in March 2019, for a 7 year-transit. These next 28 days will be ripe with shifts and changes, so stay centered in the here and now, expect the unexpected and allow yourself to make an inner shift -- as this paves the way for an outer shift. Flexibility is key!\r\n\r\nWe went over this upcoming shift in more detail in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how Uranus\'s journey through Taurus until 2026 impacts you personally, feel free to get the 120 min. long webinar on the subject; <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product-category/webinars/\">for more info or to purchase, click here</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/UqfQLJ\">https://goo.gl/UqfQLJ</a> The fee for this is only $37, even though the webinar is 30 minutes longer than my usual webinars -- partly because we also cover Chiron\'s journey through Aries until 2027.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">You can also check out a brief excerpt of this webinar, here:</a> <a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">https://goo.gl/844ZMG</a> Enjoy ;-) I also offer a <strong>Special Offer this month</strong>: sign up for Star or SuperStar Membership <strong>by May 31st</strong> (or upgrade from Universal to Star Membership via \"My Account\"), and get this webinar for FREE! If you are already a Star or SuperStar Member check your email for the link to this webinar -- it was emailed to you on April 30th ;-)\r\n\r\nThink back over the last 7 years (i.e. March 2011 - May 2018), while Uranus was in <b>Aries</b>, and <b>ask yourself: </b>Where did I make progress on my goals and desires? What structures needed to be renewed for me to break through and find a new or unique approach to who I\'m being? Do some of those structures actually need to break down? What self-realizations make me stand out and go after things in a more original way? How did this 7-year transit through Aries support my vision?\r\n\r\nIf you have a Birth chart, and know what to look for, look to see what Houses are connected to the <b>Aries</b> energy -- and if that sounds like I\'m talking a foreign language, feel free to watch my video: <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">How to Read Your Birth Chart</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/KMmUUz\">https://goo.gl/KMmUUz</a> <i>or</i> join our next Forecasting Forum on <b>May 31st at 7pm EDT</b>, and ask me your questions there. We will cover the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that starts in June -- that will also be connected to Aries in your chart -- I will definitely explain this in great detail in the Forum ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> conjuncts Uranus in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> -- this alignment is exact on May 13th, in 29º of Aries, two days before the New Moon becomes exact<i>.</i><b><i> </i></b>This could bring some exciting possibilities, perhaps even a leap forward in the evolution of our consciousness, with flashes of insight into our own mental workings and some original thoughts coming through, etc.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, and as much as you want to (of course), stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What might a true breakthrough look like? What insights am I receiving? What is it I\'m learning about myself every day that might change my whole perspective?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury also makes a trine to Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>. With Saturn</i> being a part of the equation it is important for us to learn something new using a mature and realistic approach.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What concrete, practical plans could I make? Could I allow myself to take it one step at a time, staying grounded in the here and now? What does a truthful, realistic alignment with long-term goals look like to me?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> trines Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>at the time of the New Moon, bringing the potential for spiritual inspiration -- and it\'s a great time for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>How might more trust and empathy help my perception of intimate relationships? What might be possible for me if I allowed for things to unfold? What if I allowed myself to see the perfection in everything that I perceive right here, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> It is important to remember that we are part of nature, just like a tree, or an ocean -- our actions and interactions with the only home we have will change it, for good or ill. We are also developing an increasingly profound conscious awareness over the next 28 days that connects us to all that is alive.\r\n\r\nTo bring all this together,<b> ask yourself:</b> What baby steps could I take for the planet I co-inhabit? What would show my love and appreciation? What do I sense when I get very quiet and tune into my own energy field and the energy all around me? What really matters to my heart?\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <i>not</i> during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions </i>would be <b>between</b> <b>7:48am on Tuesday, May 15th and <strong>7:48am EDT Thursday morning (May 17th).</strong></b>\r\n\r\n<i>Note</i>, however, that there is a brief <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a><b> on Tuesday afternoon -- it runs from 4:30pm until 4:43pm EDT. </b><i>Don’t</i> set your intentions during those 13 minutes — instead, allow intuition to surface possible intentions while you wait.

How could you move that to the next level? <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nDuring these times, when Mars travels through Aquarius, we enjoy surprising ourselves and others. The tried-and-true methods of getting things done are far too boring for us right now. We are looking for unique and original goals, and we tend to take a more original, forward-thinking view of the world now. What if, when you were least expecting it, you suddenly asked yourself \"How could I surprise the \"old me\" today?\"  ;-)\r\n\r\nMental and intellectual pursuits are important to us now. The Aquarian ideal of equality is strong with this position, so we also place a lot of value in freedom and individuality -- our own <i>and</i> that of others. With Mars in this fixed sign, we will definitely need our independence, especially in personal relationships -- and we are not easily pushed around. It\'s best to give ourselves and others lots of space; if we feel boxed in, we may rebel or act contrary.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nIn general, we may feel a desire to push our agenda on others -- not in an aggressive way, though... more in a creative manner. As best as you can, bring a sense of openness to your approach to people and situations. Be aware of feeling superior to others: if you find yourself thinking that someone is less \"special\" than you, put your hand over your heart and ask \"what would my heart say to this?\"\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more detached, forward-thinking and freedom-loving. You may want to change things in your life that have outlived their use. If you are an </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 12.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mars/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:04am EDT. This is the first Mars/Uranus Square of the year in the fixed signs (Aquarius/Taurus). <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last week Monday (May 7th), it will remain strong until next week Friday (May 25th). </strong>This aspect asks us to get in touch with our desires and break away from anything that is holding us back. Passions and anger that we may not even know we had may emerge at this time.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nUranus urges us to let go of the past and focus on a better future. We may feel restless and impatient; we can be very demanding and difficult to please. We tend to feel like progress is too slow and we are tired of waiting. This could be an explosive time, as our inner rebel issues<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>emotional challenges, while outer \"reality\" demands we change course.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, if you are the kind of person that doesn\'t go in for asserting themselves, this is an excellent time to try it out ;-) Do your best not to burn all your bridges, especially with any males in your family or in your various communities. We may also experience an awakening of sorts in regards to our sexuality.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAccidents are unusually likely (though not inevitable), especially if our levels of activity and energy are erratic; to prevent this, stay as grounded as possible and keep breathing! Flexibility and open-mindedness are always helpful but are especially important now. Notice when you are digging your heels in about something, this is usually a sign that you have some underlying anxiety about something else; again, take a deep breath, get centered in your body, close your eyes and focus on your third eye.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What am I afraid of happening? How might I channel this restless energy into projects that are asking for progress? How might I channel, or just burn off, all this erratic energy? What kind of exercise might be an energetic match? Where am I stagnating? Where am I able to take innovative action?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or personal planets in </i><i>27-29 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn,</i></b><i> or 0-</i><i>3 </i><i>degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>?

Use this intuitive time to connect with others and share yourself in whatever way, shape, or form feels right to you in the moment: spoken or written word, phone, email, IM, letter, etc.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday afternoon until early evening ahead of time. <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon conjuncts Venus in Gemini)</span>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 5:47pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Saturday evening</strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it -- otherwise, you risk becoming drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (May 18th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday late afternoon/early evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday early afternoon</strong>, <em>a harmonious Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:49pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening (May 16th) on, it will remain strong until Sunday (May 20th). </strong>It will help to interact with integrity and commitment. We can set aside unrealistic views and make concrete, practical plans, that help us explore our long-term goals.  <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe “get to the point” with no wasted time or words. Seeking a larger understanding, we speak our truth but temper it with adult caution and moderation. The reality of our beliefs gets clearer and our thought processes are more realistic. It is important for us to learn something new, with a mature attitude.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>5-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? Or perhaps you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn?</i></b><i> If so, you will likely be more blessed by this aspect.</i><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAlso on<strong> Friday late afternoon,  </strong><span class=\"s1\">it\'s <i>time to take actions on our New Moon intentions</i>: if you set Intentions Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning -- after the New Moon became exact -- today and tomorrow (Saturday) <strong>before 5:14pm </strong>and<strong> after 7:11pm EDT, </strong>will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (May 19th)</strong>:<em> the Moon remains in protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer</strong></em> <strong>until 7:11pm EDT</strong> (see Thursday early evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday morning at 9:11am EDT</strong>, <i style=\"font-style: italic;\">Venus changes signs from chatty, versatile &amp; curious</i><i> </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Gemini</strong><i style=\"font-style: italic;\"> to protective, nurturing </i><strong><i>Cancer, </i></strong>where she will journey <strong>until June 13th; </strong> for those 4 weeks, we value family, loved ones, our home, emotional safety -- and real-estate dealings.\r\n\r\nWe prefer to be around safe, familiar people and places. We\'d rather stay home than socialize; if we do go out, we much prefer dinner parties at someone\'s home to dining out. When it comes to love, be gentle with each other -- and make sure to talk about your feelings.\r\n\r\nWith regards to our finances, it\'s best to stick to what feels safest and most secure. It\'s a favorable time for real-estate and interior design, or anything that makes the home more comfortable and livable.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel more shy for the next 4 weeks. Your heart will want to connect with family and loved ones. If you are a</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to have more love and beauty in your life, for as long as Venus is in your sign ;-)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:30pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening (May 17th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Monday morning (May 21st). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This gives us the opportunity to experiment with how we relate to others -- to do something different or unusual -- freedom plays a big part in this aspect.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Of course, others are experimenting too, so you might experience some unusual or unexpected interactions during this time -- it\'s a favorable time for social meetings and events. As best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through your relationships.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We\'re also ready to experiment with our financial undertakings -- good places to look: all things \"tech\" (electronics, technology, internet); metaphysics; the arts; group activities. This is not the best time to make long-term financial investments not suggested in an intuitive flash ;-)</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 28-29 degrees of <strong>Gemini</strong></i><b><i>, Aries, Leo, </i></b><b><i>Aquarius, </i></b><i>or 0-2 degrees of <strong>Cancer, Taurus, Pisces, </strong>or<strong> Virgo</strong></i><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, Uranus rules Aquarius).</i></span></p>\r\n<strong>Saturday at 5:14pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 2 hours, <strong>until 7:11pm EDT</strong>. This intuitive time is an opportunity to connect with family around shared values -- and perhaps also to take a look at your household finances...\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday late afternoon and evening ahead of time. <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon sextiles the Sun in Taurus).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 7:11pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday late evening</strong>. <span class=\"s1\">We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-) </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are also a big part of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If there are no children around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?</span></p>\r\nAgain, today<strong> (Saturday),  </strong><span class=\"s1\">it\'s <i>time to take actions on our New Moon intentions</i>: if you set Intentions Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning -- after the New Moon became exact -- today <strong>before 5:14pm </strong>and<strong> after 7:11pm EDT, </strong>will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 20th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Saturday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning</strong>, <em>an opportune Mars/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:55am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Monday (May 14th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Friday (May 25th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This is an opportunity to accept the validity of our anger and desire so that we can learn to express these energies naturally and confidently. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This could also inspire us to make resolutions and take actions towards healing our emotional and spiritual wounds. Remember: this is an \"opportunity\" -- those aren\'t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in the following: 29 degrees of <b>Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus, Scorpio, </b>or<b> </b>0-4 degrees of</i><b><i> Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, </i></span><span class=\"s1\"><i>you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Aries </i></b><i>(Mars rules Aries)</i></span></p>\r\n<strong>Sunday late afternoon</strong>, <em>a challenging Venus/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:24pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday night (May 17th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Wednesday (May 23rd). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This aspect asks us to stretch past injuries and insecurities in our relationships, self-worth, and finances. If we can bring compassion and a different point of view to bear on these issues, we will reach a new understanding of ourselves and our life journey.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We have the opportunity to learn from one another; ironically though, we may also feel insecure around others. Whenever Chiron is involved, we are being asked to do some healing work. As best as you can, use this time to learn about your sore spots. Nobody is perfect: we all have our flaws and idiosyncrasies. It\'s ok.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you get triggered by someone, as best as you can, take it as an opportunity to see where this trigger originated -- probably in your childhood. Bring love and compassion to yourself, as you are, and as you were (i.e. your \"wounded child\"). Allow <i>any</i> feelings this may stir up in you. A feeling is just energy that wants to be experienced, and honored; it wants to move through us and out.\r\n</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The more we resist our feelings, the more we keep them spinning in place. As best as you can, move from the head to the heart: What might change, if you showed 5% more compassion toward your inner wounded child? What if you just decided to take an active part in the healing process? </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: 28-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i>0-5 degrees of </i><b><i>Cancer, Aries, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).</i></span><span class=\"s2\"> </span></p>\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 10:06pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from early morning (May 20th) on, it will remain strong until Monday evening (May 21st). </strong><span class=\"s1\">We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward; we need to make a choice. We need to develop inner awareness, so we can make adjustments. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">This might concern compromising with others. Our enthusiasm might make us impatient or hasty with others. Our values may not be in alignment with those we work with. As best as you can, keep choosing the \"better\" alternative, adjusting as needed.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">When life slows down, or becomes uncomfortable, simplify and be patient. We are changing and growing in ways that we can\'t comprehend right now. Stay as open and observant as you can.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-3 degrees of</i><b><i> Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> (Venus rules Taurus and Libra; Mars rules Aries)</i></span></p>\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening at 10:15pm EDT</strong>,<em> </em><span class=\"s1\"><i>the Sun changes signs from steady, sensual</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>to versatile, fast-thinking</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b>.</span><span class=\"s2\"> It will journey through Gemini <b>until June 21st.</b> With the Sun in Gemini, the urge for self-expression is strong. We may be extra interested in collecting and sharing information. This is a time when curiosity and adaptability are favored. We are more flexible, changeable and adaptable -- which makes us quite social as well.</span>\r\n\r\nWe enjoy intellectual conversations and we can easily become bored if we are not getting enough mental stimulation at this time. We are more objective and observant but prefer to keep things light and easy. There is usually a nervousness in the air at this time as well, as we are constantly seeking to connect and have new interactions. “Sharing” is the name of the game.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Gemini, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo, your vitality will most likely speed up and you feel more chatty than usual.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 11:30 pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 22.5 hours, <strong>until 10:03pm EDT </strong>(Monday late evening, May 21st). <span class=\"s1\">We are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we feel a strong need to have fun and be creative or self-expressed.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">On the other hand, we want to explore deep, authentic -- even intimate -- connections to ourselves or others. Do your best to use this intuitive time to make adjustments, slow things down a little, and find creative solutions that honor both drives.</span></p>\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday late evening and Monday all day ahead of time.<span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"> (Moon squares Jupiter in Scorpio).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>A heads-up for next Monday (May 21st)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a>, <strong>until 10:03pm EDT</strong>. <strong>Also on Monday at 11:49pm EDT</strong>, <em>the first Quarter Moon in 1 degree of <strong>Virgo</strong> becomes exact</em>; the Moon in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in chatty, versatile <strong>Gemini</strong>.

I\'m running this special during my birthday week only :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>To take advantage of the special offer,</strong><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/coaching/\"> click here</a> and add one or more coaching sessions -- and when you get to your shopping cart, enter coupon code <strong>BIRTHDAY_GIFT</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>PS:</strong> If you holding back because you can\'t do a session this week, don\'t worry -- you can schedule it anytime between now and Nov. 2018 -- and if you want to stock up at this super-low price, go ahead and use the code on multiple sessions ;-) Looking forward to connecting and supporting you!\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: We have several planets changing signs this week -- Uranus (from Aries to Taurus, where it will journey for almost 8 years), Mars (from Capricorn to Aquarius); Venus (from Gemini to Cancer) and last but not least, the Sun (from Taurus to Gemini).\r\n\r\nIn addition, the New Moon in Taurus becomes exact on Tuesday, and there will be four <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: Tuesday late afternoon (for almost 15 minutes), Thursday afternoon (3.5 hours), Saturday late afternoon (2 hours), and Sunday late evening (22.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (May 14th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Taurus</strong></em><strong> all day. </strong>We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.\r\n\r\nIn other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing until Tuesday late afternoon? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early morning: </strong>The best way to handle the first few hours of Monday (if you\'re awake) is to slow down a little and focus on what\'s sitting right in front of you, that needs to be taken care of, so you can get to the next phase of accomplishment. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">(Moon in <strong>Taurus</strong> trines Saturn in <strong>Capricorn at 4:58am EDT -- post at 4am EDT)</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late afternoon, </strong>we have an opportunity to...\r\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">***</span><span class=\"s1\"><b>GET IT ALL!

This is a great day to let go of what no longer serves us. As best as you can, avoid jumping the gun: Rather than launching into brand-new endeavors or connections, wait until a couple of days has passed after the New Moon. Some of us might feel a little anxious or nervous today: As best as you can, get quiet and go within… Listen to the silence between the sounds… Find peace in the connection with your innermost and truest Self.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (15th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus</strong></em> <strong>until 4:43pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 7:48am EDT</strong>, the <i>New Moon in 24.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> becomes exact. This marks the beginning of a new Moon cycle. As best as you can, get really quiet, and see if you are getting any new messages or ideas. If you are, harvest them, and fold them into any intentions you set for the new Moon cycle -- I will talk about this process later in the forecast, and I’ll even give you the very best and most potent times for doing it :-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Click here to watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/IvgN28_yRKc\r\n\r\n<i>This New Moon in steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> places more focus on our interactions with the physical world -- you could say that we seek a healthier relationship with “matter\", one in which we are neither too attached, or too disconnected from our bodies, resources (such as money), and the planet we co-inhabit. We are powerfully reminded to take the time to honor the only planet we can currently live on — The Earth — we are called on to honor its resources and beauty.\r\n\r\nIn much the same spirit, we are invited also to honor ourselves, our bodies, our talents. This is a good time for reevaluating our relationship to money and possessions, and for discovering what truly makes us happy and fulfilled. Check in with yourself: What came to mind when you read this?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon trines Mars and Pluto in </i><b><i>Capricorn. </i></b>This combo promotes a realistic and responsible long-term approach. We have the chance to better align our goals with our values; it\'s easier for us to sustain what we have started, and bring a heightened sense of commitment to it all.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I am completely honest, what do I truly want for myself long-term? What really matters to me? If I felt the need to connect to something in a passionate way, what might that be? What truly fulfills me? And what modest step could I take today to move towards my goals?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus, </i>the ruler of Taurus, <i>moves through </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> at the time of the New Moon. This reminds us to learn and discuss Taurean issues: resources, appreciation of physical matter, natural beauty etc.\r\n\r\nThe spiritual quest of <b>Gemini</b>, on the other hand, concerns the development of perception, our powers of thought, and communication. As the creative power of the feminine, Venus in Gemini represents <i>the \"bringing together of opposites\" -- </i>people with different values, for example.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> When I picture this, what do I see? What might this look like in my various communities? How about within my relationships? Could exploring duality help me understand different points of views? Might curiosity be a vital tool in all of this? If so, what could I get curious about? What would 5% more flexibility do for my ability to relate to others?\r\n\r\nAnother thing worth mentioning: <i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>also</i> <i>makes a</i> <i>\"mutual reception\" to Mercury in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> <b><i>--</i></b> in other words, these planets are in each other\'s signs until May 19th; during that time, they \"mutually\" support each other\'s agenda. This gives us the opportunity to connect mind and heart.\r\n\r\nWe seek out mental stimulation: teaching, learning, writing, collecting and processing information, etc.... and we want to share the output in practical ways, applying it to the real world and ourselves, our values, and our physical experience of life.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, allow yourself to take your time processing things that you just started engaging with. In the meantime, stay open to learning, remain curious, and remember that every teacher is also a student and vice versa.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What if I listened to myself 5% more? What if I had 5% more faith that I\'d be heard? What might I discover about my thinking processes and my value? Is it possible my value doesn\'t need to be \"earned\"? What if, without my being alive, nothing else could be as it is?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus, in the last degree of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, makes a square to Mars in the last degree of </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b>at the time of the New Moon (more about this square when it becomes exact on Wednesday). As some of you already know, when a planet is the last degree of a sign, its energy is more exalted, as it knows that a shift is coming -- you could say that the rumbling of its vibration gets louder.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What am I waking to? Where do I need to assert myself? How might I do that while still keeping what I want to create long-term in view? What has been holding me back? What am I ready to address and change? What needs to happen so I can move forward in a mature fashion?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus moves into </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact (more on that below) -- starting its preview through this peace-loving, sensual sign until early November of this year -- I say \"preview\", because Uranus will return to <b>Taurus</b> in March 2019, for a 7 year-transit. These next 28 days will be ripe with shifts and changes, so stay centered in the here and now, expect the unexpected and allow yourself to make an inner shift -- as this paves the way for an outer shift. Flexibility is key!\r\n\r\nWe went over this upcoming shift in more detail in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how Uranus\'s journey through Taurus until 2026 impacts you personally, feel free to get the 120 min. long webinar on the subject; <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product-category/webinars/\">for more info or to purchase, click here</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/UqfQLJ\">https://goo.gl/UqfQLJ</a> The fee for this is only $37, even though the webinar is 30 minutes longer than my usual webinars -- partly because we also cover Chiron\'s journey through Aries until 2027.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">You can also check out a brief excerpt of this webinar, here:</a> <a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">https://goo.gl/844ZMG</a> Enjoy ;-) I also offer a <strong>Special Offer this month</strong>: sign up for Star or SuperStar Membership <strong>by May 31st</strong> (or upgrade from Universal to Star Membership via \"My Account\"), and get this webinar for FREE! If you are already a Star or SuperStar Member check your email for the link to this webinar -- it was emailed to you on April 30th ;-)\r\n\r\nThink back over the last 7 years (i.e. March 2011 - May 2018), while Uranus was in <b>Aries</b>, and <b>ask yourself: </b>Where did I make progress on my goals and desires? What structures needed to be renewed for me to break through and find a new or unique approach to who I\'m being? Do some of those structures actually need to break down? What self-realizations make me stand out and go after things in a more original way? How did this 7-year transit through Aries support my vision?\r\n\r\nIf you have a Birth chart, and know what to look for, look to see what Houses are connected to the <b>Aries</b> energy -- and if that sounds like I\'m talking a foreign language, feel free to watch my video: <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">How to Read Your Birth Chart</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/KMmUUz\">https://goo.gl/KMmUUz</a> <i>or</i> join our next Forecasting Forum on <b>May 31st at 7pm EDT</b>, and ask me your questions there. We will cover the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that starts in June -- that will also be connected to Aries in your chart -- I will definitely explain this in great detail in the Forum ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> conjuncts Uranus in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> -- this alignment is exact on May 13th, in 29º of Aries, two days before the New Moon becomes exact<i>.</i><b><i> </i></b>This could bring some exciting possibilities, perhaps even a leap forward in the evolution of our consciousness, with flashes of insight into our own mental workings and some original thoughts coming through, etc.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, and as much as you want to (of course), stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What might a true breakthrough look like? What insights am I receiving? What is it I\'m learning about myself every day that might change my whole perspective?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury also makes a trine to Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>. With Saturn</i> being a part of the equation it is important for us to learn something new using a mature and realistic approach.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What concrete, practical plans could I make? Could I allow myself to take it one step at a time, staying grounded in the here and now? What does a truthful, realistic alignment with long-term goals look like to me?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> trines Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>at the time of the New Moon, bringing the potential for spiritual inspiration -- and it\'s a great time for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>How might more trust and empathy help my perception of intimate relationships? What might be possible for me if I allowed for things to unfold? What if I allowed myself to see the perfection in everything that I perceive right here, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> It is important to remember that we are part of nature, just like a tree, or an ocean -- our actions and interactions with the only home we have will change it, for good or ill. We are also developing an increasingly profound conscious awareness over the next 28 days that connects us to all that is alive.\r\n\r\nTo bring all this together,<b> ask yourself:</b> What baby steps could I take for the planet I co-inhabit? What would show my love and appreciation? What do I sense when I get very quiet and tune into my own energy field and the energy all around me? What really matters to my heart?\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <i>not</i> during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions </i>would be <b>between</b> <b>7:48am on Tuesday, May 15th and <strong>7:48am EDT Thursday morning (May 17th).</strong></b>\r\n\r\n<i>Note</i>, however, that there is a brief <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a><b> on Tuesday afternoon -- it runs from 4:30pm until 4:43pm EDT. </b><i>Don’t</i> set your intentions during those 13 minutes — instead, allow intuition to surface possible intentions while you wait.

I will be posting reminders on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday morning to let you know that it\'s the best time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nWhen setting intentions, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> What might shift if I focused 5% more on the beauty that already surrounds me?<i> </i>What might open up if I truly valued curiosity and open-mindedness? What if I learned to listen right past my conditioning and opinions? What if I took my time to respond? What might my heart want me to say? <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Again, feel free to also watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/IvgN28_yRKc\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 22-27 degrees of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>?

Mars will be stationing in Aquarius, and retrograding back into Capricorn.

How could you move that to the next level? <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nDuring these times, when Mars travels through Aquarius, we enjoy surprising ourselves and others. The tried-and-true methods of getting things done are far too boring for us right now. We are looking for unique and original goals, and we tend to take a more original, forward-thinking view of the world now. What if, when you were least expecting it, you suddenly asked yourself \"How could I surprise the \"old me\" today?\"  ;-)\r\n\r\nMental and intellectual pursuits are important to us now. The Aquarian ideal of equality is strong with this position, so we also place a lot of value in freedom and individuality -- our own <i>and</i> that of others. With Mars in this fixed sign, we will definitely need our independence, especially in personal relationships -- and we are not easily pushed around. It\'s best to give ourselves and others lots of space; if we feel boxed in, we may rebel or act contrary.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nIn general, we may feel a desire to push our agenda on others -- not in an aggressive way, though... more in a creative manner. As best as you can, bring a sense of openness to your approach to people and situations. Be aware of feeling superior to others: if you find yourself thinking that someone is less \"special\" than you, put your hand over your heart and ask \"what would my heart say to this?\"\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more detached, forward-thinking and freedom-loving. You may want to change things in your life that have outlived their use. If you are an </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 12.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mars/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:04am EDT. This is the first Mars/Uranus Square of the year in the fixed signs (Aquarius/Taurus). <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last week Monday (May 7th), it will remain strong until next week Friday (May 25th). </strong>This aspect asks us to get in touch with our desires and break away from anything that is holding us back. Passions and anger that we may not even know we had may emerge at this time.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nUranus urges us to let go of the past and focus on a better future. We may feel restless and impatient; we can be very demanding and difficult to please. We tend to feel like progress is too slow and we are tired of waiting. This could be an explosive time, as our inner rebel issues<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>emotional challenges, while outer \"reality\" demands we change course.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, if you are the kind of person that doesn\'t go in for asserting themselves, this is an excellent time to try it out ;-) Do your best not to burn all your bridges, especially with any males in your family or in your various communities. We may also experience an awakening of sorts in regards to our sexuality.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAccidents are unusually likely (though not inevitable), especially if our levels of activity and energy are erratic; to prevent this, stay as grounded as possible and keep breathing! Flexibility and open-mindedness are always helpful but are especially important now. Notice when you are digging your heels in about something, this is usually a sign that you have some underlying anxiety about something else; again, take a deep breath, get centered in your body, close your eyes and focus on your third eye.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What am I afraid of happening? How might I channel this restless energy into projects that are asking for progress? How might I channel, or just burn off, all this erratic energy? What kind of exercise might be an energetic match? Where am I stagnating? Where am I able to take innovative action?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or personal planets in </i><i>27-29 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn,</i></b><i> or 0-</i><i>3 </i><i>degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>?

You may also want to plan Thursday afternoon until early evening ahead of time. <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon conjuncts Venus in Gemini)</span>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 5:47pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Saturday evening</strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it -- otherwise, you risk becoming drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (May 18th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday late afternoon/early evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday early afternoon</strong>, <em>a harmonious Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:49pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening (May 16th) on, it will remain strong until Sunday (May 20th). </strong>It will help to interact with integrity and commitment. We can set aside unrealistic views and make concrete, practical plans, that help us explore our long-term goals.  <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe “get to the point” with no wasted time or words. Seeking a larger understanding, we speak our truth but temper it with adult caution and moderation. The reality of our beliefs gets clearer and our thought processes are more realistic. It is important for us to learn something new, with a mature attitude.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>5-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? Or perhaps you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn?</i></b><i> If so, you will likely be more blessed by this aspect.</i><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAlso on<strong> Friday late afternoon,  </strong><span class=\"s1\">it\'s <i>time to take actions on our New Moon intentions</i>: if you set Intentions Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning -- after the New Moon became exact -- today and tomorrow (Saturday) <strong>before 5:14pm </strong>and<strong> after 7:11pm EDT, </strong>will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (May 19th)</strong>:<em> the Moon remains in protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer</strong></em> <strong>until 7:11pm EDT</strong> (see Thursday early evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday morning at 9:11am EDT</strong>, <i style=\"font-style: italic;\">Venus changes signs from chatty, versatile &amp; curious</i><i> </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Gemini</strong><i style=\"font-style: italic;\"> to protective, nurturing </i><strong><i>Cancer, </i></strong>where she will journey <strong>until June 13th; </strong> for those 4 weeks, we value family, loved ones, our home, emotional safety -- and real-estate dealings.\r\n\r\nWe prefer to be around safe, familiar people and places. We\'d rather stay home than socialize; if we do go out, we much prefer dinner parties at someone\'s home to dining out. When it comes to love, be gentle with each other -- and make sure to talk about your feelings.\r\n\r\nWith regards to our finances, it\'s best to stick to what feels safest and most secure. It\'s a favorable time for real-estate and interior design, or anything that makes the home more comfortable and livable.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel more shy for the next 4 weeks. Your heart will want to connect with family and loved ones. If you are a</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to have more love and beauty in your life, for as long as Venus is in your sign ;-)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:30pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening (May 17th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Monday morning (May 21st). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This gives us the opportunity to experiment with how we relate to others -- to do something different or unusual -- freedom plays a big part in this aspect.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Of course, others are experimenting too, so you might experience some unusual or unexpected interactions during this time -- it\'s a favorable time for social meetings and events. As best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through your relationships.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We\'re also ready to experiment with our financial undertakings -- good places to look: all things \"tech\" (electronics, technology, internet); metaphysics; the arts; group activities. This is not the best time to make long-term financial investments not suggested in an intuitive flash ;-)</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 28-29 degrees of <strong>Gemini</strong></i><b><i>, Aries, Leo, </i></b><b><i>Aquarius, </i></b><i>or 0-2 degrees of <strong>Cancer, Taurus, Pisces, </strong>or<strong> Virgo</strong></i><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, Uranus rules Aquarius).</i></span></p>\r\n<strong>Saturday at 5:14pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 2 hours, <strong>until 7:11pm EDT</strong>. This intuitive time is an opportunity to connect with family around shared values -- and perhaps also to take a look at your household finances...\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday late afternoon and evening ahead of time. <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon sextiles the Sun in Taurus).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 7:11pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday late evening</strong>. <span class=\"s1\">We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-) </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are also a big part of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If there are no children around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?</span></p>\r\nAgain, today<strong> (Saturday),  </strong><span class=\"s1\">it\'s <i>time to take actions on our New Moon intentions</i>: if you set Intentions Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning -- after the New Moon became exact -- today <strong>before 5:14pm </strong>and<strong> after 7:11pm EDT, </strong>will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 20th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Saturday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning</strong>, <em>an opportune Mars/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:55am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Monday (May 14th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Friday (May 25th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This is an opportunity to accept the validity of our anger and desire so that we can learn to express these energies naturally and confidently. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This could also inspire us to make resolutions and take actions towards healing our emotional and spiritual wounds. Remember: this is an \"opportunity\" -- those aren\'t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in the following: 29 degrees of <b>Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus, Scorpio, </b>or<b> </b>0-4 degrees of</i><b><i> Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, </i></span><span class=\"s1\"><i>you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Aries </i></b><i>(Mars rules Aries)</i></span></p>\r\n<strong>Sunday late afternoon</strong>, <em>a challenging Venus/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:24pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday night (May 17th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Wednesday (May 23rd). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This aspect asks us to stretch past injuries and insecurities in our relationships, self-worth, and finances. If we can bring compassion and a different point of view to bear on these issues, we will reach a new understanding of ourselves and our life journey.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We have the opportunity to learn from one another; ironically though, we may also feel insecure around others. Whenever Chiron is involved, we are being asked to do some healing work. As best as you can, use this time to learn about your sore spots. Nobody is perfect: we all have our flaws and idiosyncrasies. It\'s ok.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you get triggered by someone, as best as you can, take it as an opportunity to see where this trigger originated -- probably in your childhood. Bring love and compassion to yourself, as you are, and as you were (i.e. your \"wounded child\"). Allow <i>any</i> feelings this may stir up in you. A feeling is just energy that wants to be experienced, and honored; it wants to move through us and out.\r\n</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The more we resist our feelings, the more we keep them spinning in place. As best as you can, move from the head to the heart: What might change, if you showed 5% more compassion toward your inner wounded child? What if you just decided to take an active part in the healing process? </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: 28-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i>0-5 degrees of </i><b><i>Cancer, Aries, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).</i></span><span class=\"s2\"> </span></p>\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 10:06pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from early morning (May 20th) on, it will remain strong until Monday evening (May 21st). </strong><span class=\"s1\">We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward; we need to make a choice. We need to develop inner awareness, so we can make adjustments. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">This might concern compromising with others. Our enthusiasm might make us impatient or hasty with others. Our values may not be in alignment with those we work with. As best as you can, keep choosing the \"better\" alternative, adjusting as needed.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">When life slows down, or becomes uncomfortable, simplify and be patient. We are changing and growing in ways that we can\'t comprehend right now. Stay as open and observant as you can.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-3 degrees of</i><b><i> Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> (Venus rules Taurus and Libra; Mars rules Aries)</i></span></p>\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening at 10:15pm EDT</strong>,<em> </em><span class=\"s1\"><i>the Sun changes signs from steady, sensual</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>to versatile, fast-thinking</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b>.</span><span class=\"s2\"> It will journey through Gemini <b>until June 21st.</b> With the Sun in Gemini, the urge for self-expression is strong. We may be extra interested in collecting and sharing information. This is a time when curiosity and adaptability are favored. We are more flexible, changeable and adaptable -- which makes us quite social as well.</span>\r\n\r\nWe enjoy intellectual conversations and we can easily become bored if we are not getting enough mental stimulation at this time. We are more objective and observant but prefer to keep things light and easy. There is usually a nervousness in the air at this time as well, as we are constantly seeking to connect and have new interactions. “Sharing” is the name of the game.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Gemini, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo, your vitality will most likely speed up and you feel more chatty than usual.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 11:30 pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 22.5 hours, <strong>until 10:03pm EDT </strong>(Monday late evening, May 21st). <span class=\"s1\">We are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we feel a strong need to have fun and be creative or self-expressed.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">On the other hand, we want to explore deep, authentic -- even intimate -- connections to ourselves or others. Do your best to use this intuitive time to make adjustments, slow things down a little, and find creative solutions that honor both drives.</span></p>\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday late evening and Monday all day ahead of time.<span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"> (Moon squares Jupiter in Scorpio).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>A heads-up for next Monday (May 21st)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a>, <strong>until 10:03pm EDT</strong>. <strong>Also on Monday at 11:49pm EDT</strong>, <em>the first Quarter Moon in 1 degree of <strong>Virgo</strong> becomes exact</em>; the Moon in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in chatty, versatile <strong>Gemini</strong>.

Yahooooo! Bring it on! :-)\n\n<b>A quick announcement before we get started:</b><b>\n</b> Because it is <strong>my birthday this week</strong>, I wanted to give something of value, and I thought with all the changes that are coming, a <strong>30% discount</strong> on my 50-minute Coaching/Healing sessions would be a nice gift for everyone -- especially for those of you who are already doing monthly 25-minute Coaching/Healing sessions with me via the SuperStar Membership. I\'m running this special during my birthday week only :-)\n\n<strong>To take advantage of the special offer,</strong><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/coaching/\"> click here</a> and add one or more coaching sessions -- and when you get to your shopping cart, enter coupon code: <strong>BIRTHDAY_GIFT</strong>\n\n<strong>PS:</strong> If you are holding back because you can\'t do a session this week, don\'t worry -- you can schedule it anytime between now and Nov. 2018 -- and if you want to stock up at this super-low price, go ahead and use the code on multiple sessions ;-) Looking forward to connecting and supporting you! May we all have a fantastic time adjusting to the new energies that are coming our way!\n\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: We have several planets changing signs this week -- Uranus (from Aries to Taurus, where it will journey for about 8 years), Mars (from Capricorn to Aquarius); Venus (from Gemini to Cancer) and last but not least, the Sun (from Taurus to Gemini).\n\nIn addition, the New Moon in Taurus becomes exact on Tuesday, and there will be four <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: Tuesday late afternoon (for almost 15 minutes), Thursday afternoon (3.5 hours), Saturday late afternoon (2 hours), and Sunday late evening (22.5 hours).\n\n<strong>Monday (May 14th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Taurus</strong></em><strong> all day. </strong>We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.\n\nIn other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing until Tuesday late afternoon? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\n\n<strong>Monday early morning: </strong>The best way to handle the first few hours of Monday (if you\'re awake) is to slow down a little and focus on what\'s sitting right in front of you, that needs to be taken care of, so you can get to the next phase of accomplishment.\n\n<strong>Monday late afternoon, </strong>we have an opportunity to...\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>ALREADY A MEMBER?

If there was a way to satisfy both desires at once, what would that look like? What does the bigger picture look like?<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> </span>\n\n<strong>Monday </strong>is also the <i>last day before the New Moon</i> becomes exact. This is a great day to let go of what no longer serves us. As best as you can, avoid jumping the gun: Rather than launching into brand-new endeavors or connections, wait until a couple of days has passed after the New Moon. Some of us might feel a little anxious or nervous today: As best as you can, get quiet and go within… Listen to the silence between the sounds… Find peace in the connection with your innermost and truest Self.\n\n<strong>Tuesday (15th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus</strong></em> <strong>until 4:43pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for details).\n\n<strong>Tuesday at 7:48am EDT</strong>, the <i>New Moon in 24.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> becomes exact. This marks the beginning of a new Moon cycle. As best as you can, get really quiet, and see if you are getting any new messages or ideas. If you are, harvest them, and fold them into any intentions you set for the new Moon cycle -- I will talk about this process later in the forecast, and I’ll even give you the very best and most potent times for doing it :-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Click here to watch my video on the subject</a>\n\n<i>This New Moon in steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> places more focus on our interactions with the physical world -- you could say that we seek a healthier relationship with “matter\", one in which we are neither too attached, or too disconnected from our bodies, resources (such as money), and the planet we co-inhabit. We are powerfully reminded to take the time to honor the only planet we can currently live on — The Earth — we are called on to honor its resources and beauty.\n\nIn much the same spirit, we are invited also to honor ourselves, our bodies, our talents. This is a good time for reevaluating our relationship to money and possessions, and for discovering what truly makes us happy and fulfilled. Check in with yourself: What came to mind when you read this?\n\n<i>The New Moon trines Mars and Pluto in </i><b><i>Capricorn. </i></b>This combo promotes a realistic and responsible long-term approach. We have the chance to better align our goals with our values; it\'s easier for us to sustain what we have started, and bring a heightened sense of commitment to it all.\n\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I am completely honest, what do I truly want for myself long-term? What really matters to me? If I felt the need to connect to something in a passionate way, what might that be? What truly fulfills me? And what modest step could I take today to move towards my goals?\n\n<i>Venus, </i>the ruler of Taurus, <i>moves through </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> at the time of the New Moon. This reminds us to learn and discuss Taurean issues: resources, appreciation of physical matter, natural beauty etc.\n\nThe spiritual quest of <b>Gemini</b>, on the other hand, concerns the development of perception, our powers of thought, and communication. As the creative power of the feminine, Venus in Gemini represents <i>the \"bringing together of opposites\" -- </i>people with different values, for example.\n\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> When I picture this, what do I see? What might this look like in my various communities? How about within my relationships? Could exploring duality help me understand different points of views? Might curiosity be a vital tool in all of this? If so, what could I get curious about? What would 5% more flexibility do for my ability to relate to others?\n\nAnother thing worth mentioning: <i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>also</i> <i>makes a</i> <i>\"mutual reception\" to Mercury in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> <b><i>--</i></b> in other words, these planets are in each other\'s signs until May 19th; during that time, they \"mutually\" support each other\'s agenda. This gives us the opportunity to connect mind and heart.\n\nWe seek out mental stimulation: teaching, learning, writing, collecting and processing information, etc.... and we want to share the output in practical ways, applying it to the real world and ourselves, our values, and our physical experience of life.\n\nAs best as you can, allow yourself to take your time processing things that you just started engaging with. In the meantime, stay open to learning, remain curious, and remember that every teacher is also a student and vice versa.\n\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What if I listened to myself 5% more? What if I had 5% more faith that I\'d be heard? What might I discover about my thinking processes and my value? Is it possible my value doesn\'t need to be \"earned\"? What if, without my being alive, nothing else could be as it is?\n\n<i>Uranus, in the last degree of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, makes a square to Mars in the last degree of </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b>at the time of the New Moon (more about this square when it becomes exact on Wednesday). As some of you already know, when a planet is the last degree of a sign, its energy is more exalted, as it knows that a shift is coming -- you could say that the rumbling of its vibration gets louder.\n\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What am I waking to? Where do I need to assert myself? How might I do that while still keeping what I want to create long-term in view? What has been holding me back? What am I ready to address and change? What needs to happen so I can move forward in a mature fashion?\n\n<i>Uranus moves into </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact (more on that below) -- starting its preview through this peace-loving, sensual sign until early November of this year -- I say \"preview\", because Uranus will return to <b>Taurus</b> in March 2019, for a 7 year-transit. These next 28 days will be ripe with shifts and changes, so stay centered in the here and now, expect the unexpected and allow yourself to make an inner shift -- as this paves the way for an outer shift. Flexibility is key!\n\nWe went over this upcoming shift in more detail in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how Uranus\'s journey through Taurus until 2026 impacts you personally, feel free to get the 120 min. long webinar on the subject; <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product-category/webinars/\">for more info or to purchase, click here </a>The fee for this is only $37, even though the webinar is 30 minutes longer than my usual webinars -- partly because we also cover Chiron\'s journey through Aries until 2027.\n\n<a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">You can also check out a brief excerpt of this webinar, here</a> Enjoy ;-) I also offer a <strong>Special Offer this month</strong>: sign up for Star or SuperStar Membership <strong>by May 31st</strong> (or upgrade from Universal to Star Membership via \"My Account\"), and get this webinar for FREE! If you are already a Star or SuperStar Member check your email for the link to this webinar -- it was emailed to you on April 30th ;-)\n\nThink back over the last 7 years (i.e. March 2011 - May 2018), while Uranus was in <b>Aries</b>, and <b>ask yourself: </b>Where did I make progress on my goals and desires? What structures needed to be renewed for me to break through and find a new or unique approach to who I\'m being? Do some of those structures actually need to break down? What self-realizations make me stand out and go after things in a more original way? How did this 7-year transit through Aries support my vision?\n\nIf you have a Birth chart, and know what to look for, look to see what Houses are connected to the <b>Aries</b> energy -- and if that sounds like I\'m talking a foreign language, feel free to watch my video: <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">How to Read Your Birth Chart</a> <i>or</i> <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">join our next Forecasting Forum</a> on <b>May 31st at 7pm EDT</b>, and ask me your questions there. We will cover the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that starts in June -- that will also be connected to Aries in your chart -- I will definitely explain this in great detail in the Forum ;-)\n\n<i>Mercury in 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> conjuncts Uranus in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> -- this alignment is exact on May 13th, in 29º of Aries, two days before the New Moon becomes exact<i>.</i><b><i> </i></b>This could bring some exciting possibilities, perhaps even a leap forward in the evolution of our consciousness, with flashes of insight into our own mental workings and some original thoughts coming through, etc.\n\nAs best as you can, and as much as you want to (of course), stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What might a true breakthrough look like? What insights am I receiving? What is it I\'m learning about myself every day that might change my whole perspective?\n\n<i>Mercury also makes a trine to Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>. With Saturn</i> being a part of the equation it is important for us to learn something new using a mature and realistic approach.\n\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What concrete, practical plans could I make? Could I allow myself to take it one step at a time, staying grounded in the here and now? What does a truthful, realistic alignment with long-term goals look like to me?\n\n<i>Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> trines Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>at the time of the New Moon, bringing the potential for spiritual inspiration -- and it\'s a great time for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\n\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>How might more trust and empathy help my perception of intimate relationships? What might be possible for me if I allowed for things to unfold? What if I allowed myself to see the perfection in everything that I perceive right here, right now?\n\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> It is important to remember that we are part of nature, just like a tree, or an ocean -- our actions and interactions with the only home we have will change it, for good or ill. We are also developing an increasingly profound conscious awareness over the next 28 days that connects us to all that is alive.\n\nTo bring all this together,<b> ask yourself:</b> What baby steps could I take for the planet I co-inhabit? What would show my love and appreciation? What do I sense when I get very quiet and tune into my own energy field and the energy all around me? What really matters to my heart?\n\nThe New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <i>not</i> during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions </i>would be <b>between</b> <b>7:48am on Tuesday, May 15th and <strong>7:48am EDT Thursday morning (May 17th).</strong></b>\n\n<i>Note</i>, however, that there is a brief <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a><b> on Tuesday afternoon -- it runs from 4:30pm until 4:43pm EDT. </b><i>Don’t</i> set your intentions during those 13 minutes — instead, allow intuition to surface possible intentions while you wait.

I will be posting reminders on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday morning to let you know that it\'s the best time to set your intentions ;-)\n\nWhen setting intentions, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> What might shift if I focused 5% more on the beauty that already surrounds me?<i> </i>What might open up if I truly valued curiosity and open-mindedness? What if I learned to listen right past my conditioning and opinions? What if I took my time to respond? What might my heart want me to say? <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Again, feel free to also watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/IvgN28_yRKc\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 22-27 degrees of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\n\n<strong>On Tuesday late morning, at 11:16am EDT</strong>,<em> Uranus changes signs from pioneering, fast-paced <strong>Aries</strong> to steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until November 6th. </strong>This is actually a \"preview\" of Uranus\'s coming 8-year transit through Taurus. I\'ll be posting a members-only essay on this major shift, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/uranus-in-taurus…actical-progress/ ‎\">click here to read it.</a>\n\n<i>Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in 0-2.5 degrees of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <i>will feel the impact of this first pass into Taurus  more than others. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> (Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius). Also: Uranus was  also in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> 8 3 years ago. If you were born 1935-1942, you will have a Uranus Return within the next 8 years.</i>  A new cycle begins in your individual journey towards creative Soul-Expression.\n\n<strong>Tuesday at 4:30pm EDT</strong>, we enter a brief <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 13 minutes, <strong>until 4:43pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to take small steps on projects already underway -- or simply take a break and do a set of Sun Salutations or push-ups ;-)\n\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.\n\n<strong>Tuesday at 4:43pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters chatty, versatile <strong>Gemini,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Thursday late afternoon/early evening. </strong>For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way…\n\nThe one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\n\n<strong>Wednesday (May 16th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Gemini</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late afternoon for details).\n\nTuesday night/<strong>Wednesday very early morning at 12:55am EDT,</strong> <i>Mars changes signs from practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Capricorn</strong><i> to freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><strong><i>Aquarius</i>, </strong>where it<em> </em>will journey for an unusually long time, <strong>until August 12th. </strong>Due to the upcoming Mars retrograde phase that begins in the end of June, Mars will journey through<strong> Aquarius </strong>one more time,<strong> from Sept. 10th - Nov. 15th.</strong>\n\nI will be talking about the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that begins in June in my next Forecasting Forum. Mars will be stationing in Aquarius, and retrograding back into Capricorn. What does this mean for the current Healing journey of our masculine energies?\n\nIf you want to know how to align yourself with this planetary movement, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation.

How could you move that to the next level?\n\nDuring these times, when Mars travels through Aquarius, we enjoy surprising ourselves and others. The tried-and-true methods of getting things done are far too boring for us right now. We are looking for unique and original goals, and we tend to take a more original, forward-thinking view of the world now. What if, when you were least expecting it, you suddenly asked yourself \"How could I surprise the \"old me\" today?\" ;-)\n\nMental and intellectual pursuits are important to us now. The Aquarian ideal of equality is strong with this position, so we also place a lot of value in freedom and individuality -- our own <i>and</i> that of others. With Mars in this fixed sign, we will definitely need our independence, especially in personal relationships -- and we are not easily pushed around. It\'s best to give ourselves and others lots of space; if we feel boxed in, we may rebel or act contrary.\n\nIn general, we may feel a desire to push our agenda on others -- not in an aggressive way, though... more in a creative manner. As best as you can, bring a sense of openness to your approach to people and situations. Be aware of feeling superior to others: if you find yourself thinking that someone is less \"special\" than you, put your hand over your heart and ask \"what would my heart say to this?\"\n\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more detached, forward-thinking and freedom-loving. You may want to change things in your life that have outlived their use. If you are an </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 12.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\n\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mars/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:04am EDT. This is the first Mars/Uranus Square of the year in the fixed signs (Aquarius/Taurus). <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last week Monday (May 7th), it will remain strong until next week Friday (May 25th). </strong>This aspect asks us to get in touch with our desires and break away from anything that is holding us back. Passions and anger that we may not even know we had may emerge at this time.\n\nUranus urges us to let go of the past and focus on a better future. We may feel restless and impatient; we can be very demanding and difficult to please. We tend to feel like progress is too slow and we are tired of waiting. This could be an explosive time, as our inner rebel issues emotional challenges, while outer \"reality\" demands we change course.\n\nOn the other hand, if you are the kind of person that doesn\'t go in for asserting themselves, this is an excellent time to try it out ;-) Do your best not to burn all your bridges, especially with any males in your family or in your various communities. We may also experience an awakening of sorts in regards to our sexuality.\n\nAccidents are unusually likely (though not inevitable), especially if our levels of activity and energy are erratic; to prevent this, stay as grounded as possible and keep breathing! Flexibility and open-mindedness are always helpful but are especially important now. Notice when you are digging your heels in about something, this is usually a sign that you have some underlying anxiety about something else; again, take a deep breath, get centered in your body, close your eyes and focus on your third eye.\n\nAsk yourself: What am I afraid of happening? How might I channel this restless energy into projects that are asking for progress? How might I channel, or just burn off, all this erratic energy? What kind of exercise might be an energetic match? Where am I stagnating? Where am I able to take innovative action?\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or personal planets in </i><i>27-29 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn,</i></b><i> or 0-</i><i>3 </i><i>degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>?

You may also want to plan Thursday afternoon until early evening ahead of time.\n\n<strong>Thursday at 5:47pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Saturday evening</strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\n\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it -- otherwise, you risk becoming drained and resentful.\n\n<strong>Thursday late evening, around 10:40pm EDT, </strong><em>the Sun in <strong>Taurus</strong> squares the Solar Eclipse degree</em> from Feb. 15th (27 degrees of <strong>Aquarius</strong>).\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Observe how this plays out for you: Where are you looking to make progress? What needs to change? What adjustments or creative solutions might clear the way for you to move forward powerfully with an open mind?</span></p>\n<strong>Friday (May 18th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday late afternoon/early evening for details).\n\n<strong>Friday early afternoon</strong>, <em>a harmonious Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:49pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening (May 16th) on, it will remain strong until Sunday (May 20th). </strong>It will help to interact with integrity and commitment. We can set aside unrealistic views and make concrete, practical plans, that help us explore our long-term goals.  <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\n\nWe “get to the point” with no wasted time or words. Seeking a larger understanding, we speak our truth but temper it with adult caution and moderation. The reality of our beliefs gets clearer and our thought processes are more realistic. It is important for us to learn something new, with a mature attitude.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>5-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? Or perhaps you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn?</i></b><i> If so, you will likely be more blessed by this aspect.</i>\n\nAlso on<strong> Friday late afternoon, </strong>it\'s <i>time to take actions on our New Moon intentions</i>: if you set Intentions Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning -- after the New Moon became exact --<strong> today (from late afternoon on) </strong>and<strong> tomorrow (Saturday) <strong>before 5:14pm </strong></strong>and<strong><strong> after 7:11pm EDT, </strong></strong>will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?\n\n<strong>Saturday (May 19th)</strong>:<em> the Moon remains in protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer</strong></em> <strong>until 7:11pm EDT</strong> (see Thursday early evening for details).\n\n<strong>Saturday morning at 9:11am EDT</strong>, <i style=\"font-style: italic;\">Venus changes signs from chatty, versatile &amp; curious</i><i> </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Gemini</strong><i style=\"font-style: italic;\"> to protective, nurturing </i><strong><i>Cancer, </i></strong>where she will journey <strong>until June 13th; </strong> for those 4 weeks, we value family, loved ones, our home, emotional safety -- and real-estate dealings.\n\nWe prefer to be around safe, familiar people and places. We\'d rather stay home than socialize; if we do go out, we much prefer dinner parties at someone\'s home to dining out. When it comes to love, be gentle with each other -- and make sure to talk about your feelings.\n\nWith regards to our finances, it\'s best to stick to what feels safest and most secure. It\'s a favorable time for real-estate and interior design, or anything that makes the home more comfortable and livable.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel more shy for the next 4 weeks. Your heart will want to connect with family and loved ones.

As best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through your relationships.\n\nWe\'re also ready to experiment with our financial undertakings -- good places to look: all things \"tech\" (electronics, technology, internet); metaphysics; the arts; group activities. This is not the best time to make long-term financial investments not suggested in an intuitive flash ;-)\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 28-29 degrees of <strong>Gemini</strong></i><b><i>, Aries, Leo, </i></b><b><i>Aquarius, </i></b><i>or 0-2 degrees of <strong>Cancer, Taurus, Pisces, </strong>or<strong> Virgo</strong></i><i>?

We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)</span>\n\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are also a big part of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.\n\nIf there are no children around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\n\nAgain, today<strong> (Saturday),  </strong>it\'s <i>time to take actions on our New Moon intentions</i>: if you set Intentions Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning -- after the New Moon became exact -- today <strong>before 5:14pm </strong>and<strong> after 7:11pm EDT, </strong>will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?\n\n<strong>Sunday (May 20th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Saturday evening for details).\n\n<strong>Sunday very early morning</strong>, <em>an opportune Mars/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:55am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Monday (May 14th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Friday (May 25th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This is an opportunity to accept the validity of our anger and desire so that we can learn to express these energies naturally and confidently.</span>\n\nThis could also inspire us to make resolutions and take actions towards healing our emotional and spiritual wounds. Remember: this is an \"opportunity\" -- those aren\'t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in the following: 29 degrees of <b>Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus, Scorpio, </b>or<b> </b>0-4 degrees of</i><b><i> Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>?

If we can bring compassion and a different point of view to bear on these issues, we will reach a new understanding of ourselves and our life journey.</span>\n\nWe have the opportunity to learn from one another; ironically though, we may also feel insecure around others. Whenever Chiron is involved, we are being asked to do some healing work. As best as you can, use this time to learn about your sore spots. Nobody is perfect: we all have our flaws and idiosyncrasies. It\'s ok.\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you get triggered by someone, as best as you can, take it as an opportunity to see where this trigger originated -- probably in your childhood. Bring love and compassion to yourself, as you are, and as you were (i.e. your \"wounded child\"). Allow <i>any</i> feelings this may stir up in you. A feeling is just energy that wants to be experienced, and honored; it wants to move through us and out.</span></p>\nThe more we resist our feelings, the more we keep them spinning in place. As best as you can, move from the head to the heart: What might change, if you showed 5% more compassion toward your inner wounded child? What if you just decided to take an active part in the healing process?\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: 28-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i>0-5 degrees of </i><b><i>Cancer, Aries, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).</i>\n\n<strong>Sunday late evening</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 10:06pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from early morning (May 20th) on, it will remain strong until Monday evening (May 21st). </strong><span class=\"s1\">We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward; we need to make a choice. We need to develop inner awareness, so we can make adjustments.</span>\n\nThis might concern compromising with others. Our enthusiasm might make us impatient or hasty with others. Our values may not be in alignment with those we work with. As best as you can, keep choosing the \"better\" alternative, adjusting as needed.\n\nWhen life slows down, or becomes uncomfortable, simplify and be patient. We are changing and growing in ways that we can\'t comprehend right now. Stay as open and observant as you can.\n\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-3 degrees of</i><b><i> Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> (Venus rules Taurus and Libra; Mars rules Aries)</i>\n\n<strong>Sunday late evening at 10:15pm EDT</strong>,the Sun changes signs from steady, sensual <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>to versatile, fast-thinking</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b>. It will journey through Gemini <b>until June 21st.</b> With the Sun in Gemini, the urge for self-expression is strong. We may be extra interested in collecting and sharing information. This is a time when curiosity and adaptability are favored. We are more flexible, changeable and adaptable -- which makes us quite social as well.\n\nWe enjoy intellectual conversations and we can easily become bored if we are not getting enough mental stimulation at this time. We are more objective and observant but prefer to keep things light and easy. There is usually a nervousness in the air at this time as well, as we are constantly seeking to connect and have new interactions. “Sharing” is the name of the game.\n\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Gemini, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo, your vitality will most likely speed up and you feel more chatty than usual.</i>\n\n<strong>Sunday at 11:30 pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 22.5 hours, <strong>until 10:03pm EDT </strong>(Monday late evening, May 21st). We are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we feel a strong need to have fun and be creative or self-expressed.\n\nOn the other hand, we want to explore deep, authentic -- even intimate -- connections to ourselves or others. Do your best to use this intuitive time to make adjustments, slow things down a little, and find creative solutions that honor both drives.\n\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday late evening and Monday all day ahead of time.\n\n<strong>A heads-up for next Monday (May 21st)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a>, <strong>until 10:03pm EDT</strong>. <strong>Also on Monday at 11:49pm EDT</strong>, <em>the first Quarter Moon in 1 degree of <strong>Virgo</strong> becomes exact</em>; the Moon in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in chatty, versatile <strong>Gemini</strong>.

Yahooooo! Bring it on! :-)\r\n\r\n<b>A quick announcement before we get started:</b><b>\r\n</b> Because it is <strong>my birthday this week</strong>, I wanted to give something of value, and I thought with all the changes that are coming, a <strong>30% discount</strong> on my 50-minute Coaching/Healing sessions would be a nice gift for everyone -- especially for those of you who are already doing monthly 25-minute Coaching/Healing sessions with me via the SuperStar Membership. I\'m running this special during my birthday week only :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>To take advantage of the special offer,</strong><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/coaching/\"> click here</a> and add one or more coaching sessions -- and when you get to your shopping cart, enter coupon code <strong>BIRTHDAY_GIFT</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>PS:</strong> If you holding back because you can\'t do a session this week, don\'t worry -- you can schedule it anytime between now and Nov. 2018 -- and if you want to stock up at this super-low price, go ahead and use the code on multiple sessions ;-) Looking forward to connecting and supporting you!\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: We have several planets changing signs this week -- Uranus (from Aries to Taurus, where it will journey for almost 8 years), Mars (from Capricorn to Aquarius); Venus (from Gemini to Cancer) and last but not least, the Sun (from Taurus to Gemini).\r\n\r\nIn addition, the New Moon in Taurus becomes exact on Tuesday, and there will be four <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: Tuesday late afternoon (for almost 15 minutes), Thursday afternoon (3.5 hours), Saturday late afternoon (2 hours), and Sunday late evening (22.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (May 14th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Taurus</strong></em><strong> all day. </strong>We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.\r\n\r\nIn other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing until Tuesday late afternoon? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early morning: </strong>The best way to handle the first few hours of Monday (if you\'re awake) is to slow down a little and focus on what\'s sitting right in front of you, that needs to be taken care of, so you can get to the next phase of accomplishment. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">(Moon in <strong>Taurus</strong> trines Saturn in <strong>Capricorn at 4:58am EDT -- post at 4am EDT)</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late afternoon, </strong>we have an opportunity to...\r\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">***</span><span class=\"s1\"><b>GET IT ALL!

If there was a way to satisfy both desires at once, what would that look like? What does the bigger picture look like?<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday </strong>is also the <i>last day before the New Moon</i> becomes exact. This is a great day to let go of what no longer serves us. As best as you can, avoid jumping the gun: Rather than launching into brand-new endeavors or connections, wait until a couple of days has passed after the New Moon. Some of us might feel a little anxious or nervous today: As best as you can, get quiet and go within… Listen to the silence between the sounds… Find peace in the connection with your innermost and truest Self.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (15th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus</strong></em> <strong>until 4:43pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 7:48am EDT</strong>, the <i>New Moon in 24.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> becomes exact. This marks the beginning of a new Moon cycle. As best as you can, get really quiet, and see if you are getting any new messages or ideas. If you are, harvest them, and fold them into any intentions you set for the new Moon cycle -- I will talk about this process later in the forecast, and I’ll even give you the very best and most potent times for doing it :-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Click here to watch my video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\n<i>This New Moon in steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> places more focus on our interactions with the physical world -- you could say that we seek a healthier relationship with “matter\", one in which we are neither too attached, or too disconnected from our bodies, resources (such as money), and the planet we co-inhabit. We are powerfully reminded to take the time to honor the only planet we can currently live on — The Earth — we are called on to honor its resources and beauty.\r\n\r\nIn much the same spirit, we are invited also to honor ourselves, our bodies, our talents. This is a good time for reevaluating our relationship to money and possessions, and for discovering what truly makes us happy and fulfilled. Check in with yourself: What came to mind when you read this?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon trines Mars and Pluto in </i><b><i>Capricorn. </i></b>This combo promotes a realistic and responsible long-term approach. We have the chance to better align our goals with our values; it\'s easier for us to sustain what we have started, and bring a heightened sense of commitment to it all.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I am completely honest, what do I truly want for myself long-term? What really matters to me? If I felt the need to connect to something in a passionate way, what might that be? What truly fulfills me? And what modest step could I take today to move towards my goals?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus, </i>the ruler of Taurus, <i>moves through </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> at the time of the New Moon. This reminds us to learn and discuss Taurean issues: resources, appreciation of physical matter, natural beauty etc.\r\n\r\nThe spiritual quest of <b>Gemini</b>, on the other hand, concerns the development of perception, our powers of thought, and communication. As the creative power of the feminine, Venus in Gemini represents <i>the \"bringing together of opposites\" -- </i>people with different values, for example.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> When I picture this, what do I see? What might this look like in my various communities? How about within my relationships? Could exploring duality help me understand different points of views? Might curiosity be a vital tool in all of this? If so, what could I get curious about? What would 5% more flexibility do for my ability to relate to others?\r\n\r\nAnother thing worth mentioning: <i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>also</i> <i>makes a</i> <i>\"mutual reception\" to Mercury in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> <b><i>--</i></b> in other words, these planets are in each other\'s signs until May 19th; during that time, they \"mutually\" support each other\'s agenda. This gives us the opportunity to connect mind and heart.\r\n\r\nWe seek out mental stimulation: teaching, learning, writing, collecting and processing information, etc.... and we want to share the output in practical ways, applying it to the real world and ourselves, our values, and our physical experience of life.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, allow yourself to take your time processing things that you just started engaging with. In the meantime, stay open to learning, remain curious, and remember that every teacher is also a student and vice versa.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What if I listened to myself 5% more? What if I had 5% more faith that I\'d be heard? What might I discover about my thinking processes and my value? Is it possible my value doesn\'t need to be \"earned\"? What if, without my being alive, nothing else could be as it is?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus, in the last degree of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, makes a square to Mars in the last degree of </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b>at the time of the New Moon (more about this square when it becomes exact on Wednesday). As some of you already know, when a planet is the last degree of a sign, its energy is more exalted, as it knows that a shift is coming -- you could say that the rumbling of its vibration gets louder.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What am I waking to? Where do I need to assert myself? How might I do that while still keeping what I want to create long-term in view? What has been holding me back? What am I ready to address and change? What needs to happen so I can move forward in a mature fashion?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus moves into </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact (more on that below) -- starting its preview through this peace-loving, sensual sign until early November of this year -- I say \"preview\", because Uranus will return to <b>Taurus</b> in March 2019, for a 7 year-transit. These next 28 days will be ripe with shifts and changes, so stay centered in the here and now, expect the unexpected and allow yourself to make an inner shift -- as this paves the way for an outer shift. Flexibility is key!\r\n\r\nWe went over this upcoming shift in more detail in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how Uranus\'s journey through Taurus until 2026 impacts you personally, feel free to get the 120 min. long webinar on the subject; <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product-category/webinars/\">for more info or to purchase, click here </a>The fee for this is only $37, even though the webinar is 30 minutes longer than my usual webinars -- partly because we also cover Chiron\'s journey through Aries until 2027.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">You can also check out a brief excerpt of this webinar, here</a> Enjoy ;-) I also offer a <strong>Special Offer this month</strong>: sign up for Star or SuperStar Membership <strong>by May 31st</strong> (or upgrade from Universal to Star Membership via \"My Account\"), and get this webinar for FREE! If you are already a Star or SuperStar Member check your email for the link to this webinar -- it was emailed to you on April 30th ;-)\r\n\r\nThink back over the last 7 years (i.e. March 2011 - May 2018), while Uranus was in <b>Aries</b>, and <b>ask yourself: </b>Where did I make progress on my goals and desires? What structures needed to be renewed for me to break through and find a new or unique approach to who I\'m being? Do some of those structures actually need to break down? What self-realizations make me stand out and go after things in a more original way? How did this 7-year transit through Aries support my vision?\r\n\r\nIf you have a Birth chart, and know what to look for, look to see what Houses are connected to the <b>Aries</b> energy -- and if that sounds like I\'m talking a foreign language, feel free to watch my video: <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">How to Read Your Birth Chart</a> <i>or</i> <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">join our next Forecasting Forum</a> on <b>May 31st at 7pm EDT</b>, and ask me your questions there. We will cover the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that starts in June -- that will also be connected to Aries in your chart -- I will definitely explain this in great detail in the Forum ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> conjuncts Uranus in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> -- this alignment is exact on May 13th, in 29º of Aries, two days before the New Moon becomes exact<i>.</i><b><i> </i></b>This could bring some exciting possibilities, perhaps even a leap forward in the evolution of our consciousness, with flashes of insight into our own mental workings and some original thoughts coming through, etc.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, and as much as you want to (of course), stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What might a true breakthrough look like? What insights am I receiving? What is it I\'m learning about myself every day that might change my whole perspective?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury also makes a trine to Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>. With Saturn</i> being a part of the equation it is important for us to learn something new using a mature and realistic approach.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What concrete, practical plans could I make? Could I allow myself to take it one step at a time, staying grounded in the here and now? What does a truthful, realistic alignment with long-term goals look like to me?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> trines Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>at the time of the New Moon, bringing the potential for spiritual inspiration -- and it\'s a great time for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>How might more trust and empathy help my perception of intimate relationships? What might be possible for me if I allowed for things to unfold? What if I allowed myself to see the perfection in everything that I perceive right here, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> It is important to remember that we are part of nature, just like a tree, or an ocean -- our actions and interactions with the only home we have will change it, for good or ill. We are also developing an increasingly profound conscious awareness over the next 28 days that connects us to all that is alive.\r\n\r\nTo bring all this together,<b> ask yourself:</b> What baby steps could I take for the planet I co-inhabit? What would show my love and appreciation? What do I sense when I get very quiet and tune into my own energy field and the energy all around me? What really matters to my heart?\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <i>not</i> during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions </i>would be <b>between</b> <b>7:48am on Tuesday, May 15th and <strong>7:48am EDT Thursday morning (May 17th).</strong></b>\r\n\r\n<i>Note</i>, however, that there is a brief <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a><b> on Tuesday afternoon -- it runs from 4:30pm until 4:43pm EDT. </b><i>Don’t</i> set your intentions during those 13 minutes — instead, allow intuition to surface possible intentions while you wait.

I will be posting reminders on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday morning to let you know that it\'s the best time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nWhen setting intentions, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> What might shift if I focused 5% more on the beauty that already surrounds me?<i> </i>What might open up if I truly valued curiosity and open-mindedness? What if I learned to listen right past my conditioning and opinions? What if I took my time to respond? What might my heart want me to say? <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Again, feel free to also watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/IvgN28_yRKc\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 22-27 degrees of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>On Tuesday late morning, at 11:16am EDT</strong>,<em> Uranus changes signs from pioneering, fast-paced <strong>Aries</strong> to steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until November 6th.</strong>.\r\n\r\nThis is actually a \"preview\" of Uranus\'s coming 8-year transit through Taurus. I\'ll be posting a members-only essay on this major shift, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/uranus-in-taurus…actical-progress/ ‎\">click here to read it.</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in 0-2.5 degrees of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <i>will feel the impact of this first pass into Taurus  more than others. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> (Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius). Also: Uranus was  also in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> 8 3 years ago. If you were born 1935-1942, you will have a Uranus Return within the next 8 years.</i>  A new cycle begins in your individual journey towards creative Soul-Expression.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 4:30pm EDT</strong>, we enter a brief <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 13 minutes, <strong>until 4:43pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to take small steps on projects already underway -- or simply take a break and do a set of Sun Salutations or push-ups ;-)\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 4:43pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters chatty, versatile <strong>Gemini,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Thursday late afternoon/early evening. </strong>For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way…\r\n\r\nThe one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 16th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Gemini</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\nTuesday night/<strong>Wednesday very early morning at 12:55am EDT,</strong> <i>Mars changes signs from practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Capricorn</strong><i> to freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><strong><i>Aquarius</i>, </strong>where it<em> </em>will journey for an unusually long time, <strong>until August 12th. </strong>Due to the upcoming Mars retrograde phase that begins in the end of June, Mars will journey through<strong> Aquarius </strong>one more time,<strong> from Sept. 10th - Nov. 15th.</strong>\r\n\r\nI will be talking about the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that begins in June in my next Forecasting Forum. Mars will be stationing in Aquarius, and retrograding back into Capricorn. What does this mean for the current Healing journey of our masculine energies?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how to align yourself with this planetary movement, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation.

How could you move that to the next level? <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nDuring these times, when Mars travels through Aquarius, we enjoy surprising ourselves and others. The tried-and-true methods of getting things done are far too boring for us right now. We are looking for unique and original goals, and we tend to take a more original, forward-thinking view of the world now. What if, when you were least expecting it, you suddenly asked yourself \"How could I surprise the \"old me\" today?\"  ;-)\r\n\r\nMental and intellectual pursuits are important to us now. The Aquarian ideal of equality is strong with this position, so we also place a lot of value in freedom and individuality -- our own <i>and</i> that of others. With Mars in this fixed sign, we will definitely need our independence, especially in personal relationships -- and we are not easily pushed around. It\'s best to give ourselves and others lots of space; if we feel boxed in, we may rebel or act contrary.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nIn general, we may feel a desire to push our agenda on others -- not in an aggressive way, though... more in a creative manner. As best as you can, bring a sense of openness to your approach to people and situations. Be aware of feeling superior to others: if you find yourself thinking that someone is less \"special\" than you, put your hand over your heart and ask \"what would my heart say to this?\"\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more detached, forward-thinking and freedom-loving. You may want to change things in your life that have outlived their use. If you are an </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 12.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mars/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:04am EDT. This is the first Mars/Uranus Square of the year in the fixed signs (Aquarius/Taurus). <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last week Monday (May 7th), it will remain strong until next week Friday (May 25th). </strong>This aspect asks us to get in touch with our desires and break away from anything that is holding us back. Passions and anger that we may not even know we had may emerge at this time.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nUranus urges us to let go of the past and focus on a better future. We may feel restless and impatient; we can be very demanding and difficult to please. We tend to feel like progress is too slow and we are tired of waiting. This could be an explosive time, as our inner rebel issues<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>emotional challenges, while outer \"reality\" demands we change course.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, if you are the kind of person that doesn\'t go in for asserting themselves, this is an excellent time to try it out ;-) Do your best not to burn all your bridges, especially with any males in your family or in your various communities. We may also experience an awakening of sorts in regards to our sexuality.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAccidents are unusually likely (though not inevitable), especially if our levels of activity and energy are erratic; to prevent this, stay as grounded as possible and keep breathing! Flexibility and open-mindedness are always helpful but are especially important now. Notice when you are digging your heels in about something, this is usually a sign that you have some underlying anxiety about something else; again, take a deep breath, get centered in your body, close your eyes and focus on your third eye.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What am I afraid of happening? How might I channel this restless energy into projects that are asking for progress? How might I channel, or just burn off, all this erratic energy? What kind of exercise might be an energetic match? Where am I stagnating? Where am I able to take innovative action?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or personal planets in </i><i>27-29 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn,</i></b><i> or 0-</i><i>3 </i><i>degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>?

Use this intuitive time to connect with others and share yourself in whatever way, shape, or form feels right to you in the moment: spoken or written word, phone, email, IM, letter, etc.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday afternoon until early evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 5:47pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Saturday evening</strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it -- otherwise, you risk becoming drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (May 18th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday late afternoon/early evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday early afternoon</strong>, <em>a harmonious Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:49pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening (May 16th) on, it will remain strong until Sunday (May 20th). </strong>It will help to interact with integrity and commitment. We can set aside unrealistic views and make concrete, practical plans, that help us explore our long-term goals.  <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe “get to the point” with no wasted time or words. Seeking a larger understanding, we speak our truth but temper it with adult caution and moderation. The reality of our beliefs gets clearer and our thought processes are more realistic. It is important for us to learn something new, with a mature attitude.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>5-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (May 19th)</strong>:<em> the Moon remains in protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer</strong></em> <strong>until 7:11pm EDT</strong> (see Thursday early evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday morning at 9:11am EDT</strong>, <i style=\"font-style: italic;\">Venus changes signs from chatty, versatile &amp; curious</i><i> </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Gemini</strong><i style=\"font-style: italic;\"> to protective, nurturing </i><strong><i>Cancer, </i></strong>where she will journey <strong>until June 13th; </strong> for those 4 weeks, we value family, loved ones, our home, emotional safety -- and real-estate dealings.\r\n\r\nWe prefer to be around safe, familiar people and places. We\'d rather stay home than socialize; if we do go out, we much prefer dinner parties at someone\'s home to dining out. When it comes to love, be gentle with each other -- and make sure to talk about your feelings.\r\n\r\nWith regards to our finances, it\'s best to stick to what feels safest and most secure. It\'s a favorable time for real-estate and interior design, or anything that makes the home more comfortable and livable.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel more shy for the next 4 weeks. Your heart will want to connect with family and loved ones. If you are a</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to have more love and beauty in your life, for as long as Venus is in your sign ;-)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:30pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening (May 17th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Monday morning (May 21st). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This gives us the opportunity to experiment with how we relate to others -- to do something different or unusual -- freedom plays a big part in this aspect.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Of course, others are experimenting too, so you might experience some unusual or unexpected interactions during this time -- it\'s a favorable time for social meetings and events. As best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through your relationships.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We\'re also ready to experiment with our financial undertakings -- good places to look: all things \"tech\" (electronics, technology, internet); metaphysics; the arts; group activities. This is not the best time to make long-term financial investments not suggested in an intuitive flash ;-)</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 28-29 degrees of <strong>Gemini</strong></i><b><i>, Aries, Leo, </i></b><b><i>Aquarius, </i></b><i>or 0-2 degrees of <strong>Cancer, Taurus, Pisces, </strong>or<strong> Virgo</strong></i><i>?

This intuitive time is an opportunity to connect with family around shared values -- and perhaps also to take a look at your household finances...\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday late afternoon and evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 7:11pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday late evening</strong>. <span class=\"s1\">We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-) </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are also a big part of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If there are no children around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?</span></p>\r\nAgain, today<strong> (Saturday),  </strong><span class=\"s1\">it\'s <i>time to take actions on our New Moon intentions</i>: if you set Intentions Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning -- after the New Moon became exact -- today <strong>before 5:14pm </strong>and<strong> after 7:11pm EDT, </strong>will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 20th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Saturday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning</strong>, <em>an opportune Mars/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:55am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Monday (May 14th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Friday (May 25th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This is an opportunity to accept the validity of our anger and desire so that we can learn to express these energies naturally and confidently. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This could also inspire us to make resolutions and take actions towards healing our emotional and spiritual wounds. Remember: this is an \"opportunity\" -- those aren\'t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in the following: 29 degrees of <b>Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus, Scorpio, </b>or<b> </b>0-4 degrees of</i><b><i> Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, </i></span><span class=\"s1\"><i>you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Aries </i></b><i>(Mars rules Aries)</i></span></p>\r\n<strong>Sunday late afternoon</strong>, <em>a challenging Venus/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:24pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday night (May 17th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Wednesday (May 23rd). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This aspect asks us to stretch past injuries and insecurities in our relationships, self-worth, and finances. If we can bring compassion and a different point of view to bear on these issues, we will reach a new understanding of ourselves and our life journey.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We have the opportunity to learn from one another; ironically though, we may also feel insecure around others. Whenever Chiron is involved, we are being asked to do some healing work. As best as you can, use this time to learn about your sore spots. Nobody is perfect: we all have our flaws and idiosyncrasies. It\'s ok.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you get triggered by someone, as best as you can, take it as an opportunity to see where this trigger originated -- probably in your childhood. Bring love and compassion to yourself, as you are, and as you were (i.e. your \"wounded child\"). Allow <i>any</i> feelings this may stir up in you. A feeling is just energy that wants to be experienced, and honored; it wants to move through us and out.\r\n</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The more we resist our feelings, the more we keep them spinning in place. As best as you can, move from the head to the heart: What might change, if you showed 5% more compassion toward your inner wounded child? What if you just decided to take an active part in the healing process? </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: 28-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i>0-5 degrees of </i><b><i>Cancer, Aries, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).</i></span><span class=\"s2\"> </span></p>\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 10:06pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from early morning (May 20th) on, it will remain strong until Monday evening (May 21st). </strong><span class=\"s1\">We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward; we need to make a choice. We need to develop inner awareness, so we can make adjustments. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">This might concern compromising with others. Our enthusiasm might make us impatient or hasty with others. Our values may not be in alignment with those we work with. As best as you can, keep choosing the \"better\" alternative, adjusting as needed.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">When life slows down, or becomes uncomfortable, simplify and be patient. We are changing and growing in ways that we can\'t comprehend right now. Stay as open and observant as you can.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-3 degrees of</i><b><i> Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> (Venus rules Taurus and Libra; Mars rules Aries)</i></span></p>\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening at 10:15pm EDT</strong>,<em> </em><span class=\"s1\"><i>the Sun changes signs from steady, sensual</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>to versatile, fast-thinking</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b>.</span><span class=\"s2\"> It will journey through Gemini <b>until June 21st.</b> With the Sun in Gemini, the urge for self-expression is strong. We may be extra interested in collecting and sharing information. This is a time when curiosity and adaptability are favored. We are more flexible, changeable and adaptable -- which makes us quite social as well.</span>\r\n\r\nWe enjoy intellectual conversations and we can easily become bored if we are not getting enough mental stimulation at this time. We are more objective and observant but prefer to keep things light and easy. There is usually a nervousness in the air at this time as well, as we are constantly seeking to connect and have new interactions. “Sharing” is the name of the game.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Gemini, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo, your vitality will most likely speed up and you feel more chatty than usual.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 11:30 pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 22.5 hours, <strong>until 10:03pm EDT </strong>(Monday late evening, May 21st). <span class=\"s1\">We are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we feel a strong need to have fun and be creative or self-expressed.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">On the other hand, we want to explore deep, authentic -- even intimate -- connections to ourselves or others. Do your best to use this intuitive time to make adjustments, slow things down a little, and find creative solutions that honor both drives.</span></p>\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

What is our favorite thing until Tuesday late afternoon? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early morning: </strong>The best way to handle the first few hours of Monday (if you\'re awake) is to slow down a little and focus on what\'s sitting right in front of you, that needs to be taken care of, so you can get to the next phase of accomplishment. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">(Moon in <strong>Taurus</strong> trines Saturn in <strong>Capricorn at 4:58am EDT -- post at 4am EDT)</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late afternoon, </strong>we have an opportunity to...\r\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">***</span><span class=\"s1\"><b>GET IT ALL!

This is a great day to let go of what no longer serves us. As best as you can, avoid jumping the gun: Rather than launching into brand-new endeavors or connections, wait until a couple of days has passed after the New Moon. Some of us might feel a little anxious or nervous today: As best as you can, get quiet and go within… Listen to the silence between the sounds… Find peace in the connection with your innermost and truest Self.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (15th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus</strong></em> <strong>until 4:43pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 7:48am EDT</strong>, the <i>New Moon in 24.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> becomes exact. This marks the beginning of a new Moon cycle. As best as you can, get really quiet, and see if you are getting any new messages or ideas. If you are, harvest them, and fold them into any intentions you set for the new Moon cycle -- I will talk about this process later in the forecast, and I’ll even give you the very best and most potent times for doing it :-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Click here to watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/IvgN28_yRKc\r\n\r\n<i>This New Moon in steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> places more focus on our interactions with the physical world -- you could say that we seek a healthier relationship with “matter\", one in which we are neither too attached, or too disconnected from our bodies, resources (such as money), and the planet we co-inhabit. We are powerfully reminded to take the time to honor the only planet we can currently live on — The Earth — we are called on to honor its resources and beauty.\r\n\r\nIn much the same spirit, we are invited also to honor ourselves, our bodies, our talents. This is a good time for reevaluating our relationship to money and possessions, and for discovering what truly makes us happy and fulfilled. Check in with yourself: What came to mind when you read this?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon trines Mars and Pluto in </i><b><i>Capricorn. </i></b>This combo promotes a realistic and responsible long-term approach. We have the chance to better align our goals with our values; it\'s easier for us to sustain what we have started, and bring a heightened sense of commitment to it all.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I am completely honest, what do I truly want for myself long-term? What really matters to me? If I felt the need to connect to something in a passionate way, what might that be? What truly fulfills me? And what modest step could I take today to move towards my goals?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus, </i>the ruler of Taurus, <i>moves through </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> at the time of the New Moon. This reminds us to learn and discuss Taurean issues: resources, appreciation of physical matter, natural beauty etc.\r\n\r\nThe spiritual quest of <b>Gemini</b>, on the other hand, concerns the development of perception, our powers of thought, and communication. As the creative power of the feminine, Venus in Gemini represents <i>the \"bringing together of opposites\" -- </i>people with different values, for example.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> When I picture this, what do I see? What might this look like in my various communities? How about within my relationships? Could exploring duality help me understand different points of views? Might curiosity be a vital tool in all of this? If so, what could I get curious about? What would 5% more flexibility do for my ability to relate to others?\r\n\r\nAnother thing worth mentioning: <i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>also</i> <i>makes a</i> <i>\"mutual reception\" to Mercury in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> <b><i>--</i></b> in other words, these planets are in each other\'s signs until May 19th; during that time, they \"mutually\" support each other\'s agenda. This gives us the opportunity to connect mind and heart.\r\n\r\nWe seek out mental stimulation: teaching, learning, writing, collecting and processing information, etc.... and we want to share the output in practical ways, applying it to the real world and ourselves, our values, and our physical experience of life.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, allow yourself to take your time processing things that you just started engaging with. In the meantime, stay open to learning, remain curious, and remember that every teacher is also a student and vice versa.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What if I listened to myself 5% more? What if I had 5% more faith that I\'d be heard? What might I discover about my thinking processes and my value? Is it possible my value doesn\'t need to be \"earned\"? What if, without my being alive, nothing else could be as it is?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus, in the last degree of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, makes a square to Mars in the last degree of </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b>at the time of the New Moon (more about this square when it becomes exact on Wednesday). As some of you already know, when a planet is the last degree of a sign, its energy is more exalted, as it knows that a shift is coming -- you could say that the rumbling of its vibration gets louder.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What am I waking to? Where do I need to assert myself? How might I do that while still keeping what I want to create long-term in view? What has been holding me back? What am I ready to address and change? What needs to happen so I can move forward in a mature fashion?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus moves into </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact (more on that below) -- starting its preview through this peace-loving, sensual sign until early November of this year -- I say \"preview\", because Uranus will return to <b>Taurus</b> in March 2019, for a 7 year-transit. These next 28 days will be ripe with shifts and changes, so stay centered in the here and now, expect the unexpected and allow yourself to make an inner shift -- as this paves the way for an outer shift. Flexibility is key!\r\n\r\nWe went over this upcoming shift in more detail in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how Uranus\'s journey through Taurus until 2026 impacts you personally, feel free to get the 120 min. long webinar on the subject; <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product-category/webinars/\">for more info or to purchase, click here</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/UqfQLJ\">https://goo.gl/UqfQLJ</a> The fee for this is only $37, even though the webinar is 30 minutes longer than my usual webinars -- partly because we also cover Chiron\'s journey through Aries until 2027.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">You can also check out a brief excerpt of this webinar, here:</a> <a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">https://goo.gl/844ZMG</a> Enjoy ;-) I also offer a <strong>Special Offer this month</strong>: sign up for Star or SuperStar Membership <strong>by May 31st</strong> (or upgrade from Universal to Star Membership via \"My Account\"), and get this webinar for FREE! If you are already a Star or SuperStar Member check your email for the link to this webinar -- it was emailed to you on April 30th ;-)\r\n\r\nThink back over the last 7 years (i.e. March 2011 - May 2018), while Uranus was in <b>Aries</b>, and <b>ask yourself: </b>Where did I make progress on my goals and desires? What structures needed to be renewed for me to break through and find a new or unique approach to who I\'m being? Do some of those structures actually need to break down? What self-realizations make me stand out and go after things in a more original way? How did this 7-year transit through Aries support my vision?\r\n\r\nIf you have a Birth chart, and know what to look for, look to see what Houses are connected to the <b>Aries</b> energy -- and if that sounds like I\'m talking a foreign language, feel free to watch my video: <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">How to Read Your Birth Chart</a>: <a href=\"https://goo.gl/KMmUUz\">https://goo.gl/KMmUUz</a> <i>or</i> join our next Forecasting Forum on <b>May 31st at 7pm EDT</b>, and ask me your questions there. We will cover the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that starts in June -- that will also be connected to Aries in your chart -- I will definitely explain this in great detail in the Forum ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> conjuncts Uranus in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> -- this alignment is exact on May 13th, in 29º of Aries, two days before the New Moon becomes exact<i>.</i><b><i> </i></b>This could bring some exciting possibilities, perhaps even a leap forward in the evolution of our consciousness, with flashes of insight into our own mental workings and some original thoughts coming through, etc.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, and as much as you want to (of course), stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What might a true breakthrough look like? What insights am I receiving? What is it I\'m learning about myself every day that might change my whole perspective?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury also makes a trine to Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>. With Saturn</i> being a part of the equation it is important for us to learn something new using a mature and realistic approach.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What concrete, practical plans could I make? Could I allow myself to take it one step at a time, staying grounded in the here and now? What does a truthful, realistic alignment with long-term goals look like to me?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> trines Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>at the time of the New Moon, bringing the potential for spiritual inspiration -- and it\'s a great time for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>How might more trust and empathy help my perception of intimate relationships? What might be possible for me if I allowed for things to unfold? What if I allowed myself to see the perfection in everything that I perceive right here, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> It is important to remember that we are part of nature, just like a tree, or an ocean -- our actions and interactions with the only home we have will change it, for good or ill. We are also developing an increasingly profound conscious awareness over the next 28 days that connects us to all that is alive.\r\n\r\nTo bring all this together,<b> ask yourself:</b> What baby steps could I take for the planet I co-inhabit? What would show my love and appreciation? What do I sense when I get very quiet and tune into my own energy field and the energy all around me? What really matters to my heart?\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <i>not</i> during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions </i>would be <b>between</b> <b>7:48am on Tuesday, May 15th and <strong>7:48am EDT Thursday morning (May 17th).</strong></b>\r\n\r\n<i>Note</i>, however, that there is a brief <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a><b> on Tuesday afternoon -- it runs from 4:30pm until 4:43pm EDT. </b><i>Don’t</i> set your intentions during those 13 minutes — instead, allow intuition to surface possible intentions while you wait.

What if I learned to listen right past my conditioning and opinions? What if I took my time to respond? What might my heart want me to say? <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Again, feel free to also watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/IvgN28_yRKc\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 22-27 degrees of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>?

Mars will be stationing in Aquarius, and retrograding back into Capricorn. What does this mean for the current Healing journey of our masculine energies?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how to align yourself with this planetary movement, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation.

How could you move that to the next level? <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nDuring these times, when Mars travels through Aquarius, we enjoy surprising ourselves and others. The tried-and-true methods of getting things done are far too boring for us right now. We are looking for unique and original goals, and we tend to take a more original, forward-thinking view of the world now. What if, when you were least expecting it, you suddenly asked yourself \"How could I surprise the \"old me\" today?\"  ;-)\r\n\r\nMental and intellectual pursuits are important to us now. The Aquarian ideal of equality is strong with this position, so we also place a lot of value in freedom and individuality -- our own <i>and</i> that of others. With Mars in this fixed sign, we will definitely need our independence, especially in personal relationships -- and we are not easily pushed around. It\'s best to give ourselves and others lots of space; if we feel boxed in, we may rebel or act contrary.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nIn general, we may feel a desire to push our agenda on others -- not in an aggressive way, though... more in a creative manner. As best as you can, bring a sense of openness to your approach to people and situations. Be aware of feeling superior to others: if you find yourself thinking that someone is less \"special\" than you, put your hand over your heart and ask \"what would my heart say to this?\"\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more detached, forward-thinking and freedom-loving. You may want to change things in your life that have outlived their use. If you are an </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 12.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mars/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:04am EDT. This is the first Mars/Uranus Square of the year in the fixed signs (Aquarius/Taurus). <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last week Monday (May 7th), it will remain strong until next week Friday (May 25th). </strong>This aspect asks us to get in touch with our desires and break away from anything that is holding us back. Passions and anger that we may not even know we had may emerge at this time.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nUranus urges us to let go of the past and focus on a better future. We may feel restless and impatient; we can be very demanding and difficult to please. We tend to feel like progress is too slow and we are tired of waiting. This could be an explosive time, as our inner rebel issues<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>emotional challenges, while outer \"reality\" demands we change course.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, if you are the kind of person that doesn\'t go in for asserting themselves, this is an excellent time to try it out ;-) Do your best not to burn all your bridges, especially with any males in your family or in your various communities. We may also experience an awakening of sorts in regards to our sexuality.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAccidents are unusually likely (though not inevitable), especially if our levels of activity and energy are erratic; to prevent this, stay as grounded as possible and keep breathing! Flexibility and open-mindedness are always helpful but are especially important now. Notice when you are digging your heels in about something, this is usually a sign that you have some underlying anxiety about something else; again, take a deep breath, get centered in your body, close your eyes and focus on your third eye.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What am I afraid of happening? How might I channel this restless energy into projects that are asking for progress? How might I channel, or just burn off, all this erratic energy? What kind of exercise might be an energetic match? Where am I stagnating? Where am I able to take innovative action?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or personal planets in </i><i>27-29 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn,</i></b><i> or 0-</i><i>3 </i><i>degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>?

Make sure that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it -- otherwise, you risk becoming drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (May 18th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday late afternoon/early evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday early afternoon</strong>, <em>a harmonious Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:49pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening (May 16th) on, it will remain strong until Sunday (May 20th). </strong>It will help to interact with integrity and commitment. We can set aside unrealistic views and make concrete, practical plans, that help us explore our long-term goals.  <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe “get to the point” with no wasted time or words. Seeking a larger understanding, we speak our truth but temper it with adult caution and moderation. The reality of our beliefs gets clearer and our thought processes are more realistic. It is important for us to learn something new, with a mature attitude.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>5-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively.

We\'d rather stay home than socialize; if we do go out, we much prefer dinner parties at someone\'s home to dining out. When it comes to love, be gentle with each other -- and make sure to talk about your feelings.\r\n\r\nWith regards to our finances, it\'s best to stick to what feels safest and most secure.

This intuitive time is an opportunity to connect with family around shared values -- and perhaps also to take a look at your household finances...\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday late afternoon and evening ahead of time. <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\">(Moon sextiles the Sun in Taurus).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 7:11pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday late evening</strong>. <span class=\"s1\">We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-) </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">So hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are also a big part of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones. </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If there are no children around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?</span></p>\r\nAgain, today<strong> (Saturday),  </strong><span class=\"s1\">it\'s <i>time to take actions on our New Moon intentions</i>: if you set Intentions Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning -- after the New Moon became exact -- today <strong>before 5:14pm </strong>and<strong> after 7:11pm EDT, </strong>will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 20th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Saturday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning</strong>, <em>an opportune Mars/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:55am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Monday (May 14th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Friday (May 25th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This is an opportunity to accept the validity of our anger and desire so that we can learn to express these energies naturally and confidently. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This could also inspire us to make resolutions and take actions towards healing our emotional and spiritual wounds. Remember: this is an \"opportunity\" -- those aren\'t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in the following: 29 degrees of <b>Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus, Scorpio, </b>or<b> </b>0-4 degrees of</i><b><i> Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, </i></span><span class=\"s1\"><i>you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Aries </i></b><i>(Mars rules Aries)</i></span></p>\r\n<strong>Sunday late afternoon</strong>, <em>a challenging Venus/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:24pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday night (May 17th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Wednesday (May 23rd). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This aspect asks us to stretch past injuries and insecurities in our relationships, self-worth, and finances. If we can bring compassion and a different point of view to bear on these issues, we will reach a new understanding of ourselves and our life journey.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We have the opportunity to learn from one another; ironically though, we may also feel insecure around others. Whenever Chiron is involved, we are being asked to do some healing work. As best as you can, use this time to learn about your sore spots. Nobody is perfect: we all have our flaws and idiosyncrasies. It\'s ok.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you get triggered by someone, as best as you can, take it as an opportunity to see where this trigger originated -- probably in your childhood. Bring love and compassion to yourself, as you are, and as you were (i.e. your \"wounded child\"). Allow <i>any</i> feelings this may stir up in you. A feeling is just energy that wants to be experienced, and honored; it wants to move through us and out.\r\n</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The more we resist our feelings, the more we keep them spinning in place. As best as you can, move from the head to the heart: What might change, if you showed 5% more compassion toward your inner wounded child? What if you just decided to take an active part in the healing process? </span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: 28-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i>0-5 degrees of </i><b><i>Cancer, Aries, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).</i></span><span class=\"s2\"> </span></p>\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 10:06pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from early morning (May 20th) on, it will remain strong until Monday evening (May 21st). </strong><span class=\"s1\">We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward; we need to make a choice. We need to develop inner awareness, so we can make adjustments. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">This might concern compromising with others. Our enthusiasm might make us impatient or hasty with others. Our values may not be in alignment with those we work with. As best as you can, keep choosing the \"better\" alternative, adjusting as needed.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">When life slows down, or becomes uncomfortable, simplify and be patient. We are changing and growing in ways that we can\'t comprehend right now. Stay as open and observant as you can.</span></p>\r\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-3 degrees of</i><b><i> Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> (Venus rules Taurus and Libra; Mars rules Aries)</i></span></p>\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening at 10:15pm EDT</strong>,<em> </em><span class=\"s1\"><i>the Sun changes signs from steady, sensual</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>to versatile, fast-thinking</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b>.</span><span class=\"s2\"> It will journey through Gemini <b>until June 21st.</b> With the Sun in Gemini, the urge for self-expression is strong. We may be extra interested in collecting and sharing information. This is a time when curiosity and adaptability are favored. We are more flexible, changeable and adaptable -- which makes us quite social as well.</span>\r\n\r\nWe enjoy intellectual conversations and we can easily become bored if we are not getting enough mental stimulation at this time. We are more objective and observant but prefer to keep things light and easy. There is usually a nervousness in the air at this time as well, as we are constantly seeking to connect and have new interactions. “Sharing” is the name of the game.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Gemini, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo, your vitality will most likely speed up and you feel more chatty than usual.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 11:30 pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 22.5 hours, <strong>until 10:03pm EDT </strong>(Monday late evening, May 21st). <span class=\"s1\">We are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we feel a strong need to have fun and be creative or self-expressed.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">On the other hand, we want to explore deep, authentic -- even intimate -- connections to ourselves or others. Do your best to use this intuitive time to make adjustments, slow things down a little, and find creative solutions that honor both drives.</span></p>\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday late evening and Monday all day ahead of time.<span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"> (Moon squares Jupiter in Scorpio).</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>A heads-up for next Monday (May 21st)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a>, <strong>until 10:03pm EDT</strong>. <strong>Also on Monday at 11:49pm EDT</strong>, <em>the first Quarter Moon in 1 degree of <strong>Virgo</strong> becomes exact</em>; the Moon in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in chatty, versatile <strong>Gemini</strong>.

Yahooooo! Bring it on! :-)\r\n\r\n<b>A quick announcement before we get started:</b><b>\r\n</b> Because it is <strong>my birthday this week</strong>, I wanted to give something of value, and I thought with all the changes that are coming, a <strong>30% discount</strong> on my 50-minute Coaching/Healing sessions would be a nice gift for everyone -- especially for those of you who are already doing monthly 25-minute Coaching/Healing sessions with me via the SuperStar Membership. I\'m running this special during my birthday week only :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>To take advantage of the special offer,</strong><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/coaching/\"> click here</a> and add one or more coaching sessions -- and when you get to your shopping cart, enter coupon code <strong>BIRTHDAY_GIFT</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>PS:</strong> If you holding back because you can\'t do a session this week, don\'t worry -- you can schedule it anytime between now and Nov. 2018 -- and if you want to stock up at this super-low price, go ahead and use the code on multiple sessions ;-) Looking forward to connecting and supporting you!\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: We have several planets changing signs this week -- Uranus (from Aries to Taurus, where it will journey for almost 8 years), Mars (from Capricorn to Aquarius); Venus (from Gemini to Cancer) and last but not least, the Sun (from Taurus to Gemini).\r\n\r\nIn addition, the New Moon in Taurus becomes exact on Tuesday, and there will be four <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: Tuesday late afternoon (for almost 15 minutes), Thursday afternoon (3.5 hours), Saturday late afternoon (2 hours), and Sunday late evening (22.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (May 14th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Taurus</strong></em><strong> all day. </strong>We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.\r\n\r\nIn other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing until Tuesday late afternoon? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early morning: </strong>The best way to handle the first few hours of Monday (if you\'re awake) is to slow down a little and focus on what\'s sitting right in front of you, that needs to be taken care of, so you can get to the next phase of accomplishment.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late afternoon, </strong>we have an opportunity to...\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>ALREADY A MEMBER? Log into your ​Member\'s ​account and keep reading!</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong> NOT A MEMBER yet? GET IT ALL!

If there was a way to satisfy both desires at once, what would that look like? What does the bigger picture look like?<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday </strong>is also the <i>last day before the New Moon</i> becomes exact. This is a great day to let go of what no longer serves us. As best as you can, avoid jumping the gun: Rather than launching into brand-new endeavors or connections, wait until a couple of days has passed after the New Moon. Some of us might feel a little anxious or nervous today: As best as you can, get quiet and go within… Listen to the silence between the sounds… Find peace in the connection with your innermost and truest Self.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (15th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus</strong></em> <strong>until 4:43pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 7:48am EDT</strong>, the <i>New Moon in 24.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> becomes exact. This marks the beginning of a new Moon cycle. As best as you can, get really quiet, and see if you are getting any new messages or ideas. If you are, harvest them, and fold them into any intentions you set for the new Moon cycle -- I will talk about this process later in the forecast, and I’ll even give you the very best and most potent times for doing it :-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Click here to watch my video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\n<i>This New Moon in steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> places more focus on our interactions with the physical world -- you could say that we seek a healthier relationship with “matter\", one in which we are neither too attached, or too disconnected from our bodies, resources (such as money), and the planet we co-inhabit. We are powerfully reminded to take the time to honor the only planet we can currently live on — The Earth — we are called on to honor its resources and beauty.\r\n\r\nIn much the same spirit, we are invited also to honor ourselves, our bodies, our talents. This is a good time for reevaluating our relationship to money and possessions, and for discovering what truly makes us happy and fulfilled. Check in with yourself: What came to mind when you read this?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon trines Mars and Pluto in </i><b><i>Capricorn. </i></b>This combo promotes a realistic and responsible long-term approach. We have the chance to better align our goals with our values; it\'s easier for us to sustain what we have started, and bring a heightened sense of commitment to it all.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I am completely honest, what do I truly want for myself long-term? What really matters to me? If I felt the need to connect to something in a passionate way, what might that be? What truly fulfills me? And what modest step could I take today to move towards my goals?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus, </i>the ruler of Taurus, <i>moves through </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> at the time of the New Moon. This reminds us to learn and discuss Taurean issues: resources, appreciation of physical matter, natural beauty etc.\r\n\r\nThe spiritual quest of <b>Gemini</b>, on the other hand, concerns the development of perception, our powers of thought, and communication. As the creative power of the feminine, Venus in Gemini represents <i>the \"bringing together of opposites\" -- </i>people with different values, for example.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> When I picture this, what do I see? What might this look like in my various communities? How about within my relationships? Could exploring duality help me understand different points of views? Might curiosity be a vital tool in all of this? If so, what could I get curious about? What would 5% more flexibility do for my ability to relate to others?\r\n\r\nAnother thing worth mentioning: <i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>also</i> <i>makes a</i> <i>\"mutual reception\" to Mercury in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> <b><i>--</i></b> in other words, these planets are in each other\'s signs until May 19th; during that time, they \"mutually\" support each other\'s agenda. This gives us the opportunity to connect mind and heart.\r\n\r\nWe seek out mental stimulation: teaching, learning, writing, collecting and processing information, etc.... and we want to share the output in practical ways, applying it to the real world and ourselves, our values, and our physical experience of life.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, allow yourself to take your time processing things that you just started engaging with. In the meantime, stay open to learning, remain curious, and remember that every teacher is also a student and vice versa.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What if I listened to myself 5% more? What if I had 5% more faith that I\'d be heard? What might I discover about my thinking processes and my value? Is it possible my value doesn\'t need to be \"earned\"? What if, without my being alive, nothing else could be as it is?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus, in the last degree of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, makes a square to Mars in the last degree of </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b>at the time of the New Moon (more about this square when it becomes exact on Wednesday). As some of you already know, when a planet is the last degree of a sign, its energy is more exalted, as it knows that a shift is coming -- you could say that the rumbling of its vibration gets louder.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What am I waking to? Where do I need to assert myself? How might I do that while still keeping what I want to create long-term in view? What has been holding me back? What am I ready to address and change? What needs to happen so I can move forward in a mature fashion?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus moves into </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact (more on that below) -- starting its preview through this peace-loving, sensual sign until early November of this year -- I say \"preview\", because Uranus will return to <b>Taurus</b> in March 2019, for a 7 year-transit. These next 28 days will be ripe with shifts and changes, so stay centered in the here and now, expect the unexpected and allow yourself to make an inner shift -- as this paves the way for an outer shift. Flexibility is key!\r\n\r\nWe went over this upcoming shift in more detail in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how Uranus\'s journey through Taurus until 2026 impacts you personally, feel free to get the 120 min. long webinar on the subject; <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product-category/webinars/\">for more info or to purchase, click here </a>The fee for this is only $37, even though the webinar is 30 minutes longer than my usual webinars -- partly because we also cover Chiron\'s journey through Aries until 2027.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">You can also check out a brief excerpt of this webinar, here</a> Enjoy ;-) I also offer a <strong>Special Offer this month</strong>: sign up for Star or SuperStar Membership <strong>by May 31st</strong> (or upgrade from Universal to Star Membership via \"My Account\"), and get this webinar for FREE! If you are already a Star or SuperStar Member check your email for the link to this webinar -- it was emailed to you on April 30th ;-)\r\n\r\nThink back over the last 7 years (i.e. March 2011 - May 2018), while Uranus was in <b>Aries</b>, and <b>ask yourself: </b>Where did I make progress on my goals and desires? What structures needed to be renewed for me to break through and find a new or unique approach to who I\'m being? Do some of those structures actually need to break down? What self-realizations make me stand out and go after things in a more original way? How did this 7-year transit through Aries support my vision?\r\n\r\nIf you have a Birth chart, and know what to look for, look to see what Houses are connected to the <b>Aries</b> energy -- and if that sounds like I\'m talking a foreign language, feel free to watch my video: <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">How to Read Your Birth Chart</a> <i>or</i> <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">join our next Forecasting Forum</a> on <b>May 31st at 7pm EDT</b>, and ask me your questions there. We will cover the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that starts in June -- that will also be connected to Aries in your chart -- I will definitely explain this in great detail in the Forum ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> conjuncts Uranus in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> -- this alignment is exact on May 13th, in 29º of Aries, two days before the New Moon becomes exact<i>.</i><b><i> </i></b>This could bring some exciting possibilities, perhaps even a leap forward in the evolution of our consciousness, with flashes of insight into our own mental workings and some original thoughts coming through, etc.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, and as much as you want to (of course), stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What might a true breakthrough look like? What insights am I receiving? What is it I\'m learning about myself every day that might change my whole perspective?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury also makes a trine to Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>. With Saturn</i> being a part of the equation it is important for us to learn something new using a mature and realistic approach.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What concrete, practical plans could I make? Could I allow myself to take it one step at a time, staying grounded in the here and now? What does a truthful, realistic alignment with long-term goals look like to me?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> trines Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>at the time of the New Moon, bringing the potential for spiritual inspiration -- and it\'s a great time for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>How might more trust and empathy help my perception of intimate relationships? What might be possible for me if I allowed for things to unfold? What if I allowed myself to see the perfection in everything that I perceive right here, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> It is important to remember that we are part of nature, just like a tree, or an ocean -- our actions and interactions with the only home we have will change it, for good or ill. We are also developing an increasingly profound conscious awareness over the next 28 days that connects us to all that is alive.\r\n\r\nTo bring all this together,<b> ask yourself:</b> What baby steps could I take for the planet I co-inhabit? What would show my love and appreciation? What do I sense when I get very quiet and tune into my own energy field and the energy all around me? What really matters to my heart?\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <i>not</i> during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions </i>would be <b>between</b> <b>7:48am on Tuesday, May 15th and <strong>7:48am EDT Thursday morning (May 17th).</strong></b>\r\n\r\n<i>Note</i>, however, that there is a brief <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a><b> on Tuesday afternoon -- it runs from 4:30pm until 4:43pm EDT. </b><i>Don’t</i> set your intentions during those 13 minutes — instead, allow intuition to surface possible intentions while you wait. For more info on setting New Moon Intentions, <a href=\"http://goo.gl/jujnrD\">click here</a>\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EDT (US East Coast-time), feel free to join my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fan page</a> or follow me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday morning to let you know that it\'s the best time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nWhen setting intentions, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> What might shift if I focused 5% more on the beauty that already surrounds me?<i> </i>What might open up if I truly valued curiosity and open-mindedness? What if I learned to listen right past my conditioning and opinions? What if I took my time to respond? What might my heart want me to say? <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Again, feel free to also watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/IvgN28_yRKc\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 22-27 degrees of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>On Tuesday late morning, at 11:16am EDT</strong>,<em> Uranus changes signs from pioneering, fast-paced <strong>Aries</strong> to steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until November 6th.</strong>.\r\n\r\nThis is actually a \"preview\" of Uranus\'s coming 8-year transit through Taurus. I\'ll be posting a members-only essay on this major shift, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/uranus-in-taurus…actical-progress/ ‎\">click here to read it.</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in 0-2.5 degrees of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <i>will feel the impact of this first pass into Taurus  more than others. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> (Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius). Also: Uranus was  also in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> 8 3 years ago. If you were born 1935-1942, you will have a Uranus Return within the next 8 years.</i>  A new cycle begins in your individual journey towards creative Soul-Expression.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 4:30pm EDT</strong>, we enter a brief <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 13 minutes, <strong>until 4:43pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to take small steps on projects already underway -- or simply take a break and do a set of Sun Salutations or push-ups ;-)\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 4:43pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters chatty, versatile <strong>Gemini,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Thursday late afternoon/early evening. </strong>For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way…\r\n\r\nThe one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 16th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Gemini</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\nTuesday night/<strong>Wednesday very early morning at 12:55am EDT,</strong> <i>Mars changes signs from practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Capricorn</strong><i> to freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><strong><i>Aquarius</i>, </strong>where it<em> </em>will journey for an unusually long time, <strong>until August 12th. </strong>Due to the upcoming Mars retrograde phase that begins in the end of June, Mars will journey through<strong> Aquarius </strong>one more time,<strong> from Sept. 10th - Nov. 15th.</strong>\r\n\r\nI will be talking about the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that begins in June in my next Forecasting Forum. Mars will be stationing in Aquarius, and retrograding back into Capricorn. What does this mean for the current Healing journey of our masculine energies?\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how to align yourself with this planetary movement, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation.

How could you move that to the next level?\r\n\r\nDuring these times, when Mars travels through Aquarius, we enjoy surprising ourselves and others. The tried-and-true methods of getting things done are far too boring for us right now. We are looking for unique and original goals, and we tend to take a more original, forward-thinking view of the world now. What if, when you were least expecting it, you suddenly asked yourself \"How could I surprise the \"old me\" today?\" ;-)\r\n\r\nMental and intellectual pursuits are important to us now. The Aquarian ideal of equality is strong with this position, so we also place a lot of value in freedom and individuality -- our own <i>and</i> that of others. With Mars in this fixed sign, we will definitely need our independence, especially in personal relationships -- and we are not easily pushed around. It\'s best to give ourselves and others lots of space; if we feel boxed in, we may rebel or act contrary.\r\n\r\nIn general, we may feel a desire to push our agenda on others -- not in an aggressive way, though... more in a creative manner. As best as you can, bring a sense of openness to your approach to people and situations. Be aware of feeling superior to others: if you find yourself thinking that someone is less \"special\" than you, put your hand over your heart and ask \"what would my heart say to this?\"\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more detached, forward-thinking and freedom-loving. You may want to change things in your life that have outlived their use. If you are an </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 12.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mars/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:04am EDT. This is the first Mars/Uranus Square of the year in the fixed signs (Aquarius/Taurus). <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last week Monday (May 7th), it will remain strong until next week Friday (May 25th). </strong>This aspect asks us to get in touch with our desires and break away from anything that is holding us back. Passions and anger that we may not even know we had may emerge at this time.\r\n\r\nUranus urges us to let go of the past and focus on a better future. We may feel restless and impatient; we can be very demanding and difficult to please. We tend to feel like progress is too slow and we are tired of waiting. This could be an explosive time, as our inner rebel issues emotional challenges, while outer \"reality\" demands we change course.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, if you are the kind of person that doesn\'t go in for asserting themselves, this is an excellent time to try it out ;-) Do your best not to burn all your bridges, especially with any males in your family or in your various communities. We may also experience an awakening of sorts in regards to our sexuality.\r\n\r\nAccidents are unusually likely (though not inevitable), especially if our levels of activity and energy are erratic; to prevent this, stay as grounded as possible and keep breathing! Flexibility and open-mindedness are always helpful but are especially important now. Notice when you are digging your heels in about something, this is usually a sign that you have some underlying anxiety about something else; again, take a deep breath, get centered in your body, close your eyes and focus on your third eye.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What am I afraid of happening? How might I channel this restless energy into projects that are asking for progress? How might I channel, or just burn off, all this erratic energy? What kind of exercise might be an energetic match? Where am I stagnating? Where am I able to take innovative action?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or personal planets in </i><i>27-29 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn,</i></b><i> or 0-</i><i>3 </i><i>degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>?

Use this intuitive time to connect with others and share yourself in whatever way, shape, or form feels right to you in the moment: spoken or written word, phone, email, IM, letter, etc.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday afternoon until early evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 5:47pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Saturday evening</strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it -- otherwise, you risk becoming drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (May 18th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday late afternoon/early evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday early afternoon</strong>, <em>a harmonious Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:49pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening (May 16th) on, it will remain strong until Sunday (May 20th). </strong>It will help to interact with integrity and commitment. We can set aside unrealistic views and make concrete, practical plans, that help us explore our long-term goals.  <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe “get to the point” with no wasted time or words. Seeking a larger understanding, we speak our truth but temper it with adult caution and moderation. The reality of our beliefs gets clearer and our thought processes are more realistic. It is important for us to learn something new, with a mature attitude.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>5-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? Or perhaps you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn?</i></b><i> If so, you will likely be more blessed by this aspect.</i>\r\n\r\nAlso on<strong> Friday late afternoon, </strong>it\'s <i>time to take actions on our New Moon intentions</i>: if you set Intentions Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning -- after the New Moon became exact --<strong> today (from late afternoon on) </strong>and<strong> tomorrow (Saturday) <strong>before 5:14pm </strong></strong>and<strong><strong> after 7:11pm EDT, </strong></strong>will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (May 19th)</strong>:<em> the Moon remains in protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer</strong></em> <strong>until 7:11pm EDT</strong> (see Thursday early evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday morning at 9:11am EDT</strong>, <i style=\"font-style: italic;\">Venus changes signs from chatty, versatile &amp; curious</i><i> </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Gemini</strong><i style=\"font-style: italic;\"> to protective, nurturing </i><strong><i>Cancer, </i></strong>where she will journey <strong>until June 13th; </strong> for those 4 weeks, we value family, loved ones, our home, emotional safety -- and real-estate dealings.\r\n\r\nWe prefer to be around safe, familiar people and places. We\'d rather stay home than socialize; if we do go out, we much prefer dinner parties at someone\'s home to dining out. When it comes to love, be gentle with each other -- and make sure to talk about your feelings.\r\n\r\nWith regards to our finances, it\'s best to stick to what feels safest and most secure. It\'s a favorable time for real-estate and interior design, or anything that makes the home more comfortable and livable.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel more shy for the next 4 weeks. Your heart will want to connect with family and loved ones. If you are a</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to have more love and beauty in your life, for as long as Venus is in your sign ;-)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:30pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening (May 17th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Monday morning (May 21st). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This gives us the opportunity to experiment with how we relate to others -- to do something different or unusual -- freedom plays a big part in this aspect.</span>\r\n\r\nOf course, others are experimenting too, so you might experience some unusual or unexpected interactions during this time -- it\'s a favorable time for social meetings and events. As best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through your relationships.\r\n\r\nWe\'re also ready to experiment with our financial undertakings -- good places to look: all things \"tech\" (electronics, technology, internet); metaphysics; the arts; group activities. This is not the best time to make long-term financial investments not suggested in an intuitive flash ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 28-29 degrees of <strong>Gemini</strong></i><b><i>, Aries, Leo, </i></b><b><i>Aquarius, </i></b><i>or 0-2 degrees of <strong>Cancer, Taurus, Pisces, </strong>or<strong> Virgo</strong></i><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, Uranus rules Aquarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 5:14pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 2 hours, <strong>until 7:11pm EDT</strong>. This intuitive time is an opportunity to connect with family around shared values -- and perhaps also to take a look at your household finances...\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday late afternoon and evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 7:11pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday late evening</strong>. <span class=\"s1\">We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)</span>\r\n\r\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are also a big part of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.\r\n\r\nIf there are no children around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\nAgain, today<strong> (Saturday),  </strong>it\'s <i>time to take actions on our New Moon intentions</i>: if you set Intentions Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning -- after the New Moon became exact -- today <strong>before 5:14pm </strong>and<strong> after 7:11pm EDT, </strong>will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 20th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Saturday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning</strong>, <em>an opportune Mars/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:55am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Monday (May 14th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Friday (May 25th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This is an opportunity to accept the validity of our anger and desire so that we can learn to express these energies naturally and confidently.</span>\r\n\r\nThis could also inspire us to make resolutions and take actions towards healing our emotional and spiritual wounds. Remember: this is an \"opportunity\" -- those aren\'t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in the following: 29 degrees of <b>Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus, Scorpio, </b>or<b> </b>0-4 degrees of</i><b><i> Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, </i><span class=\"s1\"><i>you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Aries </i></b><i>(Mars rules Aries)</i></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late afternoon</strong>, <em>a challenging Venus/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:24pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday night (May 17th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Wednesday (May 23rd). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This aspect asks us to stretch past injuries and insecurities in our relationships, self-worth, and finances. If we can bring compassion and a different point of view to bear on these issues, we will reach a new understanding of ourselves and our life journey.</span>\r\n\r\nWe have the opportunity to learn from one another; ironically though, we may also feel insecure around others. Whenever Chiron is involved, we are being asked to do some healing work. As best as you can, use this time to learn about your sore spots. Nobody is perfect: we all have our flaws and idiosyncrasies. It\'s ok.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you get triggered by someone, as best as you can, take it as an opportunity to see where this trigger originated -- probably in your childhood. Bring love and compassion to yourself, as you are, and as you were (i.e. your \"wounded child\"). Allow <i>any</i> feelings this may stir up in you. A feeling is just energy that wants to be experienced, and honored; it wants to move through us and out.</span></p>\r\nThe more we resist our feelings, the more we keep them spinning in place. As best as you can, move from the head to the heart: What might change, if you showed 5% more compassion toward your inner wounded child? What if you just decided to take an active part in the healing process?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: 28-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i>0-5 degrees of </i><b><i>Cancer, Aries, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 10:06pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from early morning (May 20th) on, it will remain strong until Monday evening (May 21st). </strong><span class=\"s1\">We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward; we need to make a choice. We need to develop inner awareness, so we can make adjustments.</span>\r\n\r\nThis might concern compromising with others. Our enthusiasm might make us impatient or hasty with others. Our values may not be in alignment with those we work with. As best as you can, keep choosing the \"better\" alternative, adjusting as needed.\r\n\r\nWhen life slows down, or becomes uncomfortable, simplify and be patient. We are changing and growing in ways that we can\'t comprehend right now. Stay as open and observant as you can.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-3 degrees of</i><b><i> Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> (Venus rules Taurus and Libra; Mars rules Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening at 10:15pm EDT</strong>,the Sun changes signs from steady, sensual <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>to versatile, fast-thinking</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b>. It will journey through Gemini <b>until June 21st.</b> With the Sun in Gemini, the urge for self-expression is strong. We may be extra interested in collecting and sharing information. This is a time when curiosity and adaptability are favored. We are more flexible, changeable and adaptable -- which makes us quite social as well.\r\n\r\nWe enjoy intellectual conversations and we can easily become bored if we are not getting enough mental stimulation at this time. We are more objective and observant but prefer to keep things light and easy. There is usually a nervousness in the air at this time as well, as we are constantly seeking to connect and have new interactions. “Sharing” is the name of the game.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Gemini, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo, your vitality will most likely speed up and you feel more chatty than usual.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 11:30 pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 22.5 hours, <strong>until 10:03pm EDT </strong>(Monday late evening, May 21st). We are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we feel a strong need to have fun and be creative or self-expressed.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, we want to explore deep, authentic -- even intimate -- connections to ourselves or others. Do your best to use this intuitive time to make adjustments, slow things down a little, and find creative solutions that honor both drives.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday late evening and Monday all day ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>A heads-up for next Monday (May 21st)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a>, <strong>until 10:03pm EDT</strong>. <strong>Also on Monday at 11:49pm EDT</strong>, <em>the first Quarter Moon in 1 degree of <strong>Virgo</strong> becomes exact</em>; the Moon in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in chatty, versatile <strong>Gemini</strong>.

I\'m running this special during my birthday week only :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>To take advantage of the special offer,</strong><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/coaching/\"> click here</a> and add one or more coaching sessions -- and when you get to your shopping cart, enter coupon code: <strong>BIRTHDAY_GIFT</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>PS:</strong> If you are holding back because you can\'t do a session this week, don\'t worry -- you can schedule it anytime between now and Nov. 2018 -- and if you want to stock up at this super-low price, go ahead and use the code on multiple sessions ;-) Looking forward to connecting and supporting you!\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: We have several planets changing signs this week -- Uranus (from Aries to Taurus, where it will journey for about 8 years), Mars (from Capricorn to Aquarius); Venus (from Gemini to Cancer) and last but not least, the Sun (from Taurus to Gemini).\r\n\r\nIn addition, the New Moon in Taurus becomes exact on Tuesday, and there will be four <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: Tuesday late afternoon (for almost 15 minutes), Thursday afternoon (3.5 hours), Saturday late afternoon (2 hours), and Sunday late evening (22.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (May 14th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Taurus</strong></em><strong> all day. </strong>We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.\r\n\r\nIn other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing until Tuesday late afternoon? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early morning: </strong>The best way to handle the first few hours of Monday (if you\'re awake) is to slow down a little and focus on what\'s sitting right in front of you, that needs to be taken care of, so you can get to the next phase of accomplishment.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late afternoon, </strong>we have an opportunity to...\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>ALREADY A MEMBER? Log into your ​Member\'s ​account and keep reading!</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong> NOT A MEMBER yet? GET IT ALL!

If there was a way to satisfy both desires at once, what would that look like? What does the bigger picture look like?<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday </strong>is also the <i>last day before the New Moon</i> becomes exact. This is a great day to let go of what no longer serves us. As best as you can, avoid jumping the gun: Rather than launching into brand-new endeavors or connections, wait until a couple of days has passed after the New Moon. Some of us might feel a little anxious or nervous today: As best as you can, get quiet and go within… Listen to the silence between the sounds… Find peace in the connection with your innermost and truest Self.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (15th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus</strong></em> <strong>until 4:43pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 7:48am EDT</strong>, the <i>New Moon in 24.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> becomes exact. This marks the beginning of a new Moon cycle. As best as you can, get really quiet, and see if you are getting any new messages or ideas. If you are, harvest them, and fold them into any intentions you set for the new Moon cycle -- I will talk about this process later in the forecast, and I’ll even give you the very best and most potent times for doing it :-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Click here to watch my video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\n<i>This New Moon in steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> places more focus on our interactions with the physical world -- you could say that we seek a healthier relationship with “matter\", one in which we are neither too attached, or too disconnected from our bodies, resources (such as money), and the planet we co-inhabit. We are powerfully reminded to take the time to honor the only planet we can currently live on — The Earth — we are called on to honor its resources and beauty.\r\n\r\nIn much the same spirit, we are invited also to honor ourselves, our bodies, our talents. This is a good time for reevaluating our relationship to money and possessions, and for discovering what truly makes us happy and fulfilled. Check in with yourself: What came to mind when you read this?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon trines Mars and Pluto in </i><b><i>Capricorn. </i></b>This combo promotes a realistic and responsible long-term approach. We have the chance to better align our goals with our values; it\'s easier for us to sustain what we have started, and bring a heightened sense of commitment to it all.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I am completely honest, what do I truly want for myself long-term? What really matters to me? If I felt the need to connect to something in a passionate way, what might that be? What truly fulfills me? And what modest step could I take today to move towards my goals?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus, </i>the ruler of Taurus, <i>moves through </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> at the time of the New Moon. This reminds us to learn and discuss Taurean issues: resources, appreciation of physical matter, natural beauty etc.\r\n\r\nThe spiritual quest of <b>Gemini</b>, on the other hand, concerns the development of perception, our powers of thought, and communication. As the creative power of the feminine, Venus in Gemini represents <i>the \"bringing together of opposites\" -- </i>people with different values, for example.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> When I picture this, what do I see? What might this look like in my various communities? How about within my relationships? Could exploring duality help me understand different points of views? Might curiosity be a vital tool in all of this? If so, what could I get curious about? What would 5% more flexibility do for my ability to relate to others?\r\n\r\nAnother thing worth mentioning: <i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>also</i> <i>makes a</i> <i>\"mutual reception\" to Mercury in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> <b><i>--</i></b> in other words, these planets are in each other\'s signs until May 19th; during that time, they \"mutually\" support each other\'s agenda. This gives us the opportunity to connect mind and heart.\r\n\r\nWe seek out mental stimulation: teaching, learning, writing, collecting and processing information, etc.... and we want to share the output in practical ways, applying it to the real world and ourselves, our values, and our physical experience of life.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, allow yourself to take your time processing things that you just started engaging with. In the meantime, stay open to learning, remain curious, and remember that every teacher is also a student and vice versa.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What if I listened to myself 5% more? What if I had 5% more faith that I\'d be heard? What might I discover about my thinking processes and my value? Is it possible my value doesn\'t need to be \"earned\"? What if, without my being alive, nothing else could be as it is?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus, in the last degree of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, makes a square to Mars in the last degree of </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b>at the time of the New Moon (more about this square when it becomes exact on Wednesday). As some of you already know, when a planet is the last degree of a sign, its energy is more exalted, as it knows that a shift is coming -- you could say that the rumbling of its vibration gets louder.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What am I waking to? Where do I need to assert myself? How might I do that while still keeping what I want to create long-term in view? What has been holding me back? What am I ready to address and change? What needs to happen so I can move forward in a mature fashion?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus moves into </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact (more on that below) -- starting its preview through this peace-loving, sensual sign until early November of this year -- I say \"preview\", because Uranus will return to <b>Taurus</b> in March 2019, for a 7 year-transit. These next 28 days will be ripe with shifts and changes, so stay centered in the here and now, expect the unexpected and allow yourself to make an inner shift -- as this paves the way for an outer shift. Flexibility is key!\r\n\r\nWe went over this upcoming shift in more detail in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how Uranus\'s journey through Taurus until 2026 impacts you personally, feel free to get the 120 min. long webinar on the subject; <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product-category/webinars/\">for more info or to purchase, click here </a>The fee for this is only $37, even though the webinar is 30 minutes longer than my usual webinars -- partly because we also cover Chiron\'s journey through Aries until 2027.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">You can also check out a brief excerpt of this webinar, here</a> Enjoy ;-) I also offer a <strong>Special Offer this month</strong>: sign up for Star or SuperStar Membership <strong>by May 31st</strong> (or upgrade from Universal to Star Membership via \"My Account\"), and get this webinar for FREE! If you are already a Star or SuperStar Member check your email for the link to this webinar -- it was emailed to you on April 30th ;-)\r\n\r\nThink back over the last 7 years (i.e. March 2011 - May 2018), while Uranus was in <b>Aries</b>, and <b>ask yourself: </b>Where did I make progress on my goals and desires? What structures needed to be renewed for me to break through and find a new or unique approach to who I\'m being? Do some of those structures actually need to break down? What self-realizations make me stand out and go after things in a more original way? How did this 7-year transit through Aries support my vision?\r\n\r\nIf you have a Birth chart, and know what to look for, look to see what Houses are connected to the <b>Aries</b> energy -- and if that sounds like I\'m talking a foreign language, feel free to watch my video: <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">How to Read Your Birth Chart</a> <i>or</i> <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">join our next Forecasting Forum</a> on <b>May 31st at 7pm EDT</b>, and ask me your questions there. We will cover the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that starts in June -- that will also be connected to Aries in your chart -- I will definitely explain this in great detail in the Forum ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> conjuncts Uranus in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> -- this alignment is exact on May 13th, in 29º of Aries, two days before the New Moon becomes exact<i>.</i><b><i> </i></b>This could bring some exciting possibilities, perhaps even a leap forward in the evolution of our consciousness, with flashes of insight into our own mental workings and some original thoughts coming through, etc.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, and as much as you want to (of course), stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What might a true breakthrough look like? What insights am I receiving? What is it I\'m learning about myself every day that might change my whole perspective?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury also makes a trine to Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>. With Saturn</i> being a part of the equation it is important for us to learn something new using a mature and realistic approach.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What concrete, practical plans could I make? Could I allow myself to take it one step at a time, staying grounded in the here and now? What does a truthful, realistic alignment with long-term goals look like to me?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> trines Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>at the time of the New Moon, bringing the potential for spiritual inspiration -- and it\'s a great time for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>How might more trust and empathy help my perception of intimate relationships? What might be possible for me if I allowed for things to unfold? What if I allowed myself to see the perfection in everything that I perceive right here, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> It is important to remember that we are part of nature, just like a tree, or an ocean -- our actions and interactions with the only home we have will change it, for good or ill. We are also developing an increasingly profound conscious awareness over the next 28 days that connects us to all that is alive.\r\n\r\nTo bring all this together,<b> ask yourself:</b> What baby steps could I take for the planet I co-inhabit? What would show my love and appreciation? What do I sense when I get very quiet and tune into my own energy field and the energy all around me? What really matters to my heart?\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <i>not</i> during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions </i>would be <b>between</b> <b>7:48am on Tuesday, May 15th and <strong>7:48am EDT Thursday morning (May 17th).</strong></b>\r\n\r\n<i>Note</i>, however, that there is a brief <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a><b> on Tuesday afternoon -- it runs from 4:30pm until 4:43pm EDT. </b><i>Don’t</i> set your intentions during those 13 minutes — instead, allow intuition to surface possible intentions while you wait.

I will be posting reminders on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday morning to let you know that it\'s the best time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nWhen setting intentions, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> What might shift if I focused 5% more on the beauty that already surrounds me?<i> </i>What might open up if I truly valued curiosity and open-mindedness? What if I learned to listen right past my conditioning and opinions? What if I took my time to respond? What might my heart want me to say? <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Again, feel free to also watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/IvgN28_yRKc\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 22-27 degrees of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>On Tuesday late morning, at 11:16am EDT</strong>,<em> Uranus changes signs from pioneering, fast-paced <strong>Aries</strong> to steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until November 6th.</strong>.\r\n\r\nThis is actually a \"preview\" of Uranus\'s coming 8-year transit through Taurus. I\'ll be posting a members-only essay on this major shift, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/uranus-in-taurus…actical-progress/ ‎\">click here to read it.</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in 0-2.5 degrees of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <i>will feel the impact of this first pass into Taurus  more than others. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> (Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius). Also: Uranus was  also in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> 8 3 years ago. If you were born 1935-1942, you will have a Uranus Return within the next 8 years.</i>  A new cycle begins in your individual journey towards creative Soul-Expression.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 4:30pm EDT</strong>, we enter a brief <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 13 minutes, <strong>until 4:43pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to take small steps on projects already underway -- or simply take a break and do a set of Sun Salutations or push-ups ;-)\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 4:43pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters chatty, versatile <strong>Gemini,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Thursday late afternoon/early evening. </strong>For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way…\r\n\r\nThe one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 16th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Gemini</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\nTuesday night/<strong>Wednesday very early morning at 12:55am EDT,</strong> <i>Mars changes signs from practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Capricorn</strong><i> to freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><strong><i>Aquarius</i>, </strong>where it<em> </em>will journey for an unusually long time, <strong>until August 12th. </strong>Due to the upcoming Mars retrograde phase that begins in the end of June, Mars will journey through<strong> Aquarius </strong>one more time,<strong> from Sept. 10th - Nov. 15th.</strong>\r\n\r\nI will be talking about the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that begins in June in my next Forecasting Forum. Mars will be stationing in Aquarius, and retrograding back into Capricorn. What does this mean for the current Healing journey of our masculine energies?\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how to align yourself with this planetary movement, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation.

How could you move that to the next level?\r\n\r\nDuring these times, when Mars travels through Aquarius, we enjoy surprising ourselves and others. The tried-and-true methods of getting things done are far too boring for us right now. We are looking for unique and original goals, and we tend to take a more original, forward-thinking view of the world now. What if, when you were least expecting it, you suddenly asked yourself \"How could I surprise the \"old me\" today?\" ;-)\r\n\r\nMental and intellectual pursuits are important to us now. The Aquarian ideal of equality is strong with this position, so we also place a lot of value in freedom and individuality -- our own <i>and</i> that of others. With Mars in this fixed sign, we will definitely need our independence, especially in personal relationships -- and we are not easily pushed around. It\'s best to give ourselves and others lots of space; if we feel boxed in, we may rebel or act contrary.\r\n\r\nIn general, we may feel a desire to push our agenda on others -- not in an aggressive way, though... more in a creative manner. As best as you can, bring a sense of openness to your approach to people and situations. Be aware of feeling superior to others: if you find yourself thinking that someone is less \"special\" than you, put your hand over your heart and ask \"what would my heart say to this?\"\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more detached, forward-thinking and freedom-loving. You may want to change things in your life that have outlived their use. If you are an </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 12.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mars/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:04am EDT. This is the first Mars/Uranus Square of the year in the fixed signs (Aquarius/Taurus). <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last week Monday (May 7th), it will remain strong until next week Friday (May 25th). </strong>This aspect asks us to get in touch with our desires and break away from anything that is holding us back. Passions and anger that we may not even know we had may emerge at this time.\r\n\r\nUranus urges us to let go of the past and focus on a better future. We may feel restless and impatient; we can be very demanding and difficult to please. We tend to feel like progress is too slow and we are tired of waiting. This could be an explosive time, as our inner rebel issues emotional challenges, while outer \"reality\" demands we change course.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, if you are the kind of person that doesn\'t go in for asserting themselves, this is an excellent time to try it out ;-) Do your best not to burn all your bridges, especially with any males in your family or in your various communities. We may also experience an awakening of sorts in regards to our sexuality.\r\n\r\nAccidents are unusually likely (though not inevitable), especially if our levels of activity and energy are erratic; to prevent this, stay as grounded as possible and keep breathing! Flexibility and open-mindedness are always helpful but are especially important now. Notice when you are digging your heels in about something, this is usually a sign that you have some underlying anxiety about something else; again, take a deep breath, get centered in your body, close your eyes and focus on your third eye.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What am I afraid of happening? How might I channel this restless energy into projects that are asking for progress? How might I channel, or just burn off, all this erratic energy? What kind of exercise might be an energetic match? Where am I stagnating? Where am I able to take innovative action?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or personal planets in </i><i>27-29 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn,</i></b><i> or 0-</i><i>3 </i><i>degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>?

You may also want to plan Thursday afternoon until early evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 5:47pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Saturday evening</strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it -- otherwise, you risk becoming drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (May 18th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday late afternoon/early evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday early afternoon</strong>, <em>a harmonious Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:49pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening (May 16th) on, it will remain strong until Sunday (May 20th). </strong>It will help to interact with integrity and commitment. We can set aside unrealistic views and make concrete, practical plans, that help us explore our long-term goals.  <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe “get to the point” with no wasted time or words. Seeking a larger understanding, we speak our truth but temper it with adult caution and moderation. The reality of our beliefs gets clearer and our thought processes are more realistic. It is important for us to learn something new, with a mature attitude.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>5-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? Or perhaps you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn?</i></b><i> If so, you will likely be more blessed by this aspect.</i>\r\n\r\nAlso on<strong> Friday late afternoon, </strong>it\'s <i>time to take actions on our New Moon intentions</i>: if you set Intentions Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning -- after the New Moon became exact --<strong> today (from late afternoon on) </strong>and<strong> tomorrow (Saturday) <strong>before 5:14pm </strong></strong>and<strong><strong> after 7:11pm EDT, </strong></strong>will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (May 19th)</strong>:<em> the Moon remains in protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer</strong></em> <strong>until 7:11pm EDT</strong> (see Thursday early evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday morning at 9:11am EDT</strong>, <i style=\"font-style: italic;\">Venus changes signs from chatty, versatile &amp; curious</i><i> </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Gemini</strong><i style=\"font-style: italic;\"> to protective, nurturing </i><strong><i>Cancer, </i></strong>where she will journey <strong>until June 13th; </strong> for those 4 weeks, we value family, loved ones, our home, emotional safety -- and real-estate dealings.\r\n\r\nWe prefer to be around safe, familiar people and places. We\'d rather stay home than socialize; if we do go out, we much prefer dinner parties at someone\'s home to dining out. When it comes to love, be gentle with each other -- and make sure to talk about your feelings.\r\n\r\nWith regards to our finances, it\'s best to stick to what feels safest and most secure. It\'s a favorable time for real-estate and interior design, or anything that makes the home more comfortable and livable.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel more shy for the next 4 weeks. Your heart will want to connect with family and loved ones. If you are a</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to have more love and beauty in your life, for as long as Venus is in your sign ;-)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:30pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening (May 17th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Monday morning (May 21st). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This gives us the opportunity to experiment with how we relate to others -- to do something different or unusual -- freedom plays a big part in this aspect.</span>\r\n\r\nOf course, others are experimenting too, so you might experience some unusual or unexpected interactions during this time -- it\'s a favorable time for social meetings and events. As best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through your relationships.\r\n\r\nWe\'re also ready to experiment with our financial undertakings -- good places to look: all things \"tech\" (electronics, technology, internet); metaphysics; the arts; group activities. This is not the best time to make long-term financial investments not suggested in an intuitive flash ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 28-29 degrees of <strong>Gemini</strong></i><b><i>, Aries, Leo, </i></b><b><i>Aquarius, </i></b><i>or 0-2 degrees of <strong>Cancer, Taurus, Pisces, </strong>or<strong> Virgo</strong></i><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, Uranus rules Aquarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 5:14pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 2 hours, <strong>until 7:11pm EDT</strong>. This intuitive time is an opportunity to connect with family around shared values -- and perhaps also to take a look at your household finances...\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday late afternoon and evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 7:11pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday late evening</strong>. <span class=\"s1\">We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)</span>\r\n\r\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are also a big part of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.\r\n\r\nIf there are no children around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\nAgain, today<strong> (Saturday),  </strong>it\'s <i>time to take actions on our New Moon intentions</i>: if you set Intentions Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning -- after the New Moon became exact -- today <strong>before 5:14pm </strong>and<strong> after 7:11pm EDT, </strong>will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 20th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Saturday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning</strong>, <em>an opportune Mars/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:55am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Monday (May 14th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Friday (May 25th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This is an opportunity to accept the validity of our anger and desire so that we can learn to express these energies naturally and confidently.</span>\r\n\r\nThis could also inspire us to make resolutions and take actions towards healing our emotional and spiritual wounds. Remember: this is an \"opportunity\" -- those aren\'t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in the following: 29 degrees of <b>Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus, Scorpio, </b>or<b> </b>0-4 degrees of</i><b><i> Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, </i><span class=\"s1\"><i>you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Aries </i></b><i>(Mars rules Aries)</i></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late afternoon</strong>, <em>a challenging Venus/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:24pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday night (May 17th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Wednesday (May 23rd). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This aspect asks us to stretch past injuries and insecurities in our relationships, self-worth, and finances. If we can bring compassion and a different point of view to bear on these issues, we will reach a new understanding of ourselves and our life journey.</span>\r\n\r\nWe have the opportunity to learn from one another; ironically though, we may also feel insecure around others. Whenever Chiron is involved, we are being asked to do some healing work. As best as you can, use this time to learn about your sore spots. Nobody is perfect: we all have our flaws and idiosyncrasies. It\'s ok.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you get triggered by someone, as best as you can, take it as an opportunity to see where this trigger originated -- probably in your childhood. Bring love and compassion to yourself, as you are, and as you were (i.e. your \"wounded child\"). Allow <i>any</i> feelings this may stir up in you. A feeling is just energy that wants to be experienced, and honored; it wants to move through us and out.</span></p>\r\nThe more we resist our feelings, the more we keep them spinning in place. As best as you can, move from the head to the heart: What might change, if you showed 5% more compassion toward your inner wounded child? What if you just decided to take an active part in the healing process?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: 28-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i>0-5 degrees of </i><b><i>Cancer, Aries, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 10:06pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from early morning (May 20th) on, it will remain strong until Monday evening (May 21st). </strong><span class=\"s1\">We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward; we need to make a choice. We need to develop inner awareness, so we can make adjustments.</span>\r\n\r\nThis might concern compromising with others. Our enthusiasm might make us impatient or hasty with others. Our values may not be in alignment with those we work with. As best as you can, keep choosing the \"better\" alternative, adjusting as needed.\r\n\r\nWhen life slows down, or becomes uncomfortable, simplify and be patient. We are changing and growing in ways that we can\'t comprehend right now. Stay as open and observant as you can.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-3 degrees of</i><b><i> Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> (Venus rules Taurus and Libra; Mars rules Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening at 10:15pm EDT</strong>,the Sun changes signs from steady, sensual <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>to versatile, fast-thinking</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b>. It will journey through Gemini <b>until June 21st.</b> With the Sun in Gemini, the urge for self-expression is strong. We may be extra interested in collecting and sharing information. This is a time when curiosity and adaptability are favored. We are more flexible, changeable and adaptable -- which makes us quite social as well.\r\n\r\nWe enjoy intellectual conversations and we can easily become bored if we are not getting enough mental stimulation at this time. We are more objective and observant but prefer to keep things light and easy. There is usually a nervousness in the air at this time as well, as we are constantly seeking to connect and have new interactions. “Sharing” is the name of the game.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Gemini, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo, your vitality will most likely speed up and you feel more chatty than usual.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 11:30 pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 22.5 hours, <strong>until 10:03pm EDT </strong>(Monday late evening, May 21st). We are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we feel a strong need to have fun and be creative or self-expressed.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, we want to explore deep, authentic -- even intimate -- connections to ourselves or others. Do your best to use this intuitive time to make adjustments, slow things down a little, and find creative solutions that honor both drives.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday late evening and Monday all day ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>A heads-up for next Monday (May 21st)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a>, <strong>until 10:03pm EDT</strong>. <strong>Also on Monday at 11:49pm EDT</strong>, <em>the first Quarter Moon in 1 degree of <strong>Virgo</strong> becomes exact</em>; the Moon in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in chatty, versatile <strong>Gemini</strong>. More about the details in next week\'s forecast ;-)\r\n<h3>One More Announcement:</h3>\r\nJoin me for my next FORECASTING FORUM on <strong>Thursday, May 31st</strong> <strong>at</strong> 4pm PDT/ <strong>7pm EDT</strong>/Midnight BST (London-time).<strong> Please note</strong> that we will be talking about the <strong>Mars Station </strong>and<strong> Retrograde phase</strong> that begins in June.

Yahooooo! Bring it on! :-)\r\n\r\n<b>A quick announcement before we get started:</b><b>\r\n</b> Because it is <strong>my birthday this week</strong>, I wanted to give something of value, and I thought with all the changes that are coming, a <strong>30% discount</strong> on my 50-minute Coaching/Healing sessions would be a nice gift for everyone -- especially for those of you who are already doing monthly 25-minute Coaching/Healing sessions with me via the SuperStar Membership. I\'m running this special during my birthday week only :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>To take advantage of the special offer,</strong><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/coaching/\"> click here</a> and add one or more coaching sessions -- and when you get to your shopping cart, enter coupon code <strong>BIRTHDAY_GIFT</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>PS:</strong> If you holding back because you can\'t do a session this week, don\'t worry -- you can schedule it anytime between now and Nov. 2018 -- and if you want to stock up at this super-low price, go ahead and use the code on multiple sessions ;-) Looking forward to connecting and supporting you!\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: We have several planets changing signs this week -- Uranus (from Aries to Taurus, where it will journey for about 8 years), Mars (from Capricorn to Aquarius); Venus (from Gemini to Cancer) and last but not least, the Sun (from Taurus to Gemini).\r\n\r\nIn addition, the New Moon in Taurus becomes exact on Tuesday, and there will be four <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: Tuesday late afternoon (for almost 15 minutes), Thursday afternoon (3.5 hours), Saturday late afternoon (2 hours), and Sunday late evening (22.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (May 14th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Taurus</strong></em><strong> all day. </strong>We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.\r\n\r\nIn other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing until Tuesday late afternoon? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early morning: </strong>The best way to handle the first few hours of Monday (if you\'re awake) is to slow down a little and focus on what\'s sitting right in front of you, that needs to be taken care of, so you can get to the next phase of accomplishment.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late afternoon, </strong>we have an opportunity to...\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>ALREADY A MEMBER? Log into your ​Member\'s ​account and keep reading!</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong> NOT A MEMBER yet? GET IT ALL!

If there was a way to satisfy both desires at once, what would that look like? What does the bigger picture look like?<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday </strong>is also the <i>last day before the New Moon</i> becomes exact. This is a great day to let go of what no longer serves us. As best as you can, avoid jumping the gun: Rather than launching into brand-new endeavors or connections, wait until a couple of days has passed after the New Moon. Some of us might feel a little anxious or nervous today: As best as you can, get quiet and go within… Listen to the silence between the sounds… Find peace in the connection with your innermost and truest Self.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (15th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus</strong></em> <strong>until 4:43pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 7:48am EDT</strong>, the <i>New Moon in 24.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> becomes exact. This marks the beginning of a new Moon cycle. As best as you can, get really quiet, and see if you are getting any new messages or ideas. If you are, harvest them, and fold them into any intentions you set for the new Moon cycle -- I will talk about this process later in the forecast, and I’ll even give you the very best and most potent times for doing it :-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Click here to watch my video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\n<i>This New Moon in steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> places more focus on our interactions with the physical world -- you could say that we seek a healthier relationship with “matter\", one in which we are neither too attached, or too disconnected from our bodies, resources (such as money), and the planet we co-inhabit. We are powerfully reminded to take the time to honor the only planet we can currently live on — The Earth — we are called on to honor its resources and beauty.\r\n\r\nIn much the same spirit, we are invited also to honor ourselves, our bodies, our talents. This is a good time for reevaluating our relationship to money and possessions, and for discovering what truly makes us happy and fulfilled. Check in with yourself: What came to mind when you read this?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon trines Mars and Pluto in </i><b><i>Capricorn. </i></b>This combo promotes a realistic and responsible long-term approach. We have the chance to better align our goals with our values; it\'s easier for us to sustain what we have started, and bring a heightened sense of commitment to it all.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I am completely honest, what do I truly want for myself long-term? What really matters to me? If I felt the need to connect to something in a passionate way, what might that be? What truly fulfills me? And what modest step could I take today to move towards my goals?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus, </i>the ruler of Taurus, <i>moves through </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> at the time of the New Moon. This reminds us to learn and discuss Taurean issues: resources, appreciation of physical matter, natural beauty etc.\r\n\r\nThe spiritual quest of <b>Gemini</b>, on the other hand, concerns the development of perception, our powers of thought, and communication. As the creative power of the feminine, Venus in Gemini represents <i>the \"bringing together of opposites\" -- </i>people with different values, for example.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> When I picture this, what do I see? What might this look like in my various communities? How about within my relationships? Could exploring duality help me understand different points of views? Might curiosity be a vital tool in all of this? If so, what could I get curious about? What would 5% more flexibility do for my ability to relate to others?\r\n\r\nAnother thing worth mentioning: <i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>also</i> <i>makes a</i> <i>\"mutual reception\" to Mercury in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> <b><i>--</i></b> in other words, these planets are in each other\'s signs until May 19th; during that time, they \"mutually\" support each other\'s agenda. This gives us the opportunity to connect mind and heart.\r\n\r\nWe seek out mental stimulation: teaching, learning, writing, collecting and processing information, etc.... and we want to share the output in practical ways, applying it to the real world and ourselves, our values, and our physical experience of life.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, allow yourself to take your time processing things that you just started engaging with. In the meantime, stay open to learning, remain curious, and remember that every teacher is also a student and vice versa.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What if I listened to myself 5% more? What if I had 5% more faith that I\'d be heard? What might I discover about my thinking processes and my value? Is it possible my value doesn\'t need to be \"earned\"? What if, without my being alive, nothing else could be as it is?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus, in the last degree of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, makes a square to Mars in the last degree of </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b>at the time of the New Moon (more about this square when it becomes exact on Wednesday). As some of you already know, when a planet is the last degree of a sign, its energy is more exalted, as it knows that a shift is coming -- you could say that the rumbling of its vibration gets louder.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What am I waking to? Where do I need to assert myself? How might I do that while still keeping what I want to create long-term in view? What has been holding me back? What am I ready to address and change? What needs to happen so I can move forward in a mature fashion?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus moves into </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact (more on that below) -- starting its preview through this peace-loving, sensual sign until early November of this year -- I say \"preview\", because Uranus will return to <b>Taurus</b> in March 2019, for a 7 year-transit. These next 28 days will be ripe with shifts and changes, so stay centered in the here and now, expect the unexpected and allow yourself to make an inner shift -- as this paves the way for an outer shift. Flexibility is key!\r\n\r\nWe went over this upcoming shift in more detail in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how Uranus\'s journey through Taurus until 2026 impacts you personally, feel free to get the 120 min. long webinar on the subject; <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product-category/webinars/\">for more info or to purchase, click here </a>The fee for this is only $37, even though the webinar is 30 minutes longer than my usual webinars -- partly because we also cover Chiron\'s journey through Aries until 2027.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">You can also check out a brief excerpt of this webinar, here</a> Enjoy ;-) I also offer a <strong>Special Offer this month</strong>: sign up for Star or SuperStar Membership <strong>by May 31st</strong> (or upgrade from Universal to Star Membership via \"My Account\"), and get this webinar for FREE! If you are already a Star or SuperStar Member check your email for the link to this webinar -- it was emailed to you on April 30th ;-)\r\n\r\nThink back over the last 7 years (i.e. March 2011 - May 2018), while Uranus was in <b>Aries</b>, and <b>ask yourself: </b>Where did I make progress on my goals and desires? What structures needed to be renewed for me to break through and find a new or unique approach to who I\'m being? Do some of those structures actually need to break down? What self-realizations make me stand out and go after things in a more original way? How did this 7-year transit through Aries support my vision?\r\n\r\nIf you have a Birth chart, and know what to look for, look to see what Houses are connected to the <b>Aries</b> energy -- and if that sounds like I\'m talking a foreign language, feel free to watch my video: <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">How to Read Your Birth Chart</a> <i>or</i> <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">join our next Forecasting Forum</a> on <b>May 31st at 7pm EDT</b>, and ask me your questions there. We will cover the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that starts in June -- that will also be connected to Aries in your chart -- I will definitely explain this in great detail in the Forum ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> conjuncts Uranus in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> -- this alignment is exact on May 13th, in 29º of Aries, two days before the New Moon becomes exact<i>.</i><b><i> </i></b>This could bring some exciting possibilities, perhaps even a leap forward in the evolution of our consciousness, with flashes of insight into our own mental workings and some original thoughts coming through, etc.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, and as much as you want to (of course), stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What might a true breakthrough look like? What insights am I receiving? What is it I\'m learning about myself every day that might change my whole perspective?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury also makes a trine to Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>. With Saturn</i> being a part of the equation it is important for us to learn something new using a mature and realistic approach.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What concrete, practical plans could I make? Could I allow myself to take it one step at a time, staying grounded in the here and now? What does a truthful, realistic alignment with long-term goals look like to me?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> trines Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>at the time of the New Moon, bringing the potential for spiritual inspiration -- and it\'s a great time for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>How might more trust and empathy help my perception of intimate relationships? What might be possible for me if I allowed for things to unfold? What if I allowed myself to see the perfection in everything that I perceive right here, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> It is important to remember that we are part of nature, just like a tree, or an ocean -- our actions and interactions with the only home we have will change it, for good or ill. We are also developing an increasingly profound conscious awareness over the next 28 days that connects us to all that is alive.\r\n\r\nTo bring all this together,<b> ask yourself:</b> What baby steps could I take for the planet I co-inhabit? What would show my love and appreciation? What do I sense when I get very quiet and tune into my own energy field and the energy all around me? What really matters to my heart?\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <i>not</i> during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions </i>would be <b>between</b> <b>7:48am on Tuesday, May 15th and <strong>7:48am EDT Thursday morning (May 17th).</strong></b>\r\n\r\n<i>Note</i>, however, that there is a brief <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a><b> on Tuesday afternoon -- it runs from 4:30pm until 4:43pm EDT. </b><i>Don’t</i> set your intentions during those 13 minutes — instead, allow intuition to surface possible intentions while you wait.

What if I learned to listen right past my conditioning and opinions? What if I took my time to respond?

Use this intuitive time to take small steps on projects already underway -- or simply take a break and do a set of Sun Salutations or push-ups ;-)\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 4:43pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters chatty, versatile <strong>Gemini,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Thursday late afternoon/early evening. </strong>For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way…\r\n\r\nThe one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 16th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Gemini</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\nTuesday night/<strong>Wednesday very early morning at 12:55am EDT,</strong> <i>Mars changes signs from practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Capricorn</strong><i> to freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><strong><i>Aquarius</i>, </strong>where it<em> </em>will journey for an unusually long time, <strong>until August 12th. </strong>Due to the upcoming Mars retrograde phase that begins in the end of June, Mars will journey through<strong> Aquarius </strong>one more time,<strong> from Sept. 10th - Nov. 15th.</strong>\r\n\r\nI will be talking about the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that begins in June in my next Forecasting Forum. Mars will be stationing in Aquarius, and retrograding back into Capricorn. What does this mean for the current Healing journey of our masculine energies?\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how to align yourself with this planetary movement, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation.

How could you move that to the next level?\r\n\r\nDuring these times, when Mars travels through Aquarius, we enjoy surprising ourselves and others. The tried-and-true methods of getting things done are far too boring for us right now. We are looking for unique and original goals, and we tend to take a more original, forward-thinking view of the world now. What if, when you were least expecting it, you suddenly asked yourself \"How could I surprise the \"old me\" today?\" ;-)\r\n\r\nMental and intellectual pursuits are important to us now. The Aquarian ideal of equality is strong with this position, so we also place a lot of value in freedom and individuality -- our own <i>and</i> that of others. With Mars in this fixed sign, we will definitely need our independence, especially in personal relationships -- and we are not easily pushed around. It\'s best to give ourselves and others lots of space; if we feel boxed in, we may rebel or act contrary.\r\n\r\nIn general, we may feel a desire to push our agenda on others -- not in an aggressive way, though... more in a creative manner. As best as you can, bring a sense of openness to your approach to people and situations. Be aware of feeling superior to others: if you find yourself thinking that someone is less \"special\" than you, put your hand over your heart and ask \"what would my heart say to this?\"\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more detached, forward-thinking and freedom-loving. You may want to change things in your life that have outlived their use. If you are an </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 12.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mars/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:04am EDT. This is the first Mars/Uranus Square of the year in the fixed signs (Aquarius/Taurus). <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last week Monday (May 7th), it will remain strong until next week Friday (May 25th). </strong>This aspect asks us to get in touch with our desires and break away from anything that is holding us back. Passions and anger that we may not even know we had may emerge at this time.\r\n\r\nUranus urges us to let go of the past and focus on a better future. We may feel restless and impatient; we can be very demanding and difficult to please. We tend to feel like progress is too slow and we are tired of waiting. This could be an explosive time, as our inner rebel issues emotional challenges, while outer \"reality\" demands we change course.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, if you are the kind of person that doesn\'t go in for asserting themselves, this is an excellent time to try it out ;-) Do your best not to burn all your bridges, especially with any males in your family or in your various communities. We may also experience an awakening of sorts in regards to our sexuality.\r\n\r\nAccidents are unusually likely (though not inevitable), especially if our levels of activity and energy are erratic; to prevent this, stay as grounded as possible and keep breathing! Flexibility and open-mindedness are always helpful but are especially important now. Notice when you are digging your heels in about something, this is usually a sign that you have some underlying anxiety about something else; again, take a deep breath, get centered in your body, close your eyes and focus on your third eye.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What am I afraid of happening? How might I channel this restless energy into projects that are asking for progress? How might I channel, or just burn off, all this erratic energy? What kind of exercise might be an energetic match? Where am I stagnating? Where am I able to take innovative action?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or personal planets in </i><i>27-29 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn,</i></b><i> or 0-</i><i>3 </i><i>degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>?

You may also want to plan Thursday afternoon until early evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 5:47pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Saturday evening</strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it -- otherwise, you risk becoming drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (May 18th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday late afternoon/early evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday early afternoon</strong>, <em>a harmonious Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:49pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening (May 16th) on, it will remain strong until Sunday (May 20th). </strong>It will help to interact with integrity and commitment. We can set aside unrealistic views and make concrete, practical plans, that help us explore our long-term goals.  <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe “get to the point” with no wasted time or words. Seeking a larger understanding, we speak our truth but temper it with adult caution and moderation. The reality of our beliefs gets clearer and our thought processes are more realistic. It is important for us to learn something new, with a mature attitude.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>5-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? Or perhaps you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn?</i></b><i> If so, you will likely be more blessed by this aspect.</i>\r\n\r\nAlso on<strong> Friday late afternoon, </strong>it\'s <i>time to take actions on our New Moon intentions</i>: if you set Intentions Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning -- after the New Moon became exact --<strong> today (from late afternoon on) </strong>and<strong> tomorrow (Saturday) <strong>before 5:14pm </strong></strong>and<strong><strong> after 7:11pm EDT, </strong></strong>will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (May 19th)</strong>:<em> the Moon remains in protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer</strong></em> <strong>until 7:11pm EDT</strong> (see Thursday early evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday morning at 9:11am EDT</strong>, <i style=\"font-style: italic;\">Venus changes signs from chatty, versatile &amp; curious</i><i> </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Gemini</strong><i style=\"font-style: italic;\"> to protective, nurturing </i><strong><i>Cancer, </i></strong>where she will journey <strong>until June 13th; </strong> for those 4 weeks, we value family, loved ones, our home, emotional safety -- and real-estate dealings.\r\n\r\nWe prefer to be around safe, familiar people and places. We\'d rather stay home than socialize; if we do go out, we much prefer dinner parties at someone\'s home to dining out. When it comes to love, be gentle with each other -- and make sure to talk about your feelings.\r\n\r\nWith regards to our finances, it\'s best to stick to what feels safest and most secure. It\'s a favorable time for real-estate and interior design, or anything that makes the home more comfortable and livable.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel more shy for the next 4 weeks. Your heart will want to connect with family and loved ones. If you are a</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to have more love and beauty in your life, for as long as Venus is in your sign ;-)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:30pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening (May 17th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Monday morning (May 21st). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This gives us the opportunity to experiment with how we relate to others -- to do something different or unusual -- freedom plays a big part in this aspect.</span>\r\n\r\nOf course, others are experimenting too, so you might experience some unusual or unexpected interactions during this time -- it\'s a favorable time for social meetings and events. As best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through your relationships.\r\n\r\nWe\'re also ready to experiment with our financial undertakings -- good places to look: all things \"tech\" (electronics, technology, internet); metaphysics; the arts; group activities. This is not the best time to make long-term financial investments not suggested in an intuitive flash ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 28-29 degrees of <strong>Gemini</strong></i><b><i>, Aries, Leo, </i></b><b><i>Aquarius, </i></b><i>or 0-2 degrees of <strong>Cancer, Taurus, Pisces, </strong>or<strong> Virgo</strong></i><i>?

This intuitive time is an opportunity to connect with family around shared values -- and perhaps also to take a look at your household finances...\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday late afternoon and evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 7:11pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday late evening</strong>. <span class=\"s1\">We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)</span>\r\n\r\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are also a big part of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.\r\n\r\nIf there are no children around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\nAgain, today<strong> (Saturday),  </strong>it\'s <i>time to take actions on our New Moon intentions</i>: if you set Intentions Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning -- after the New Moon became exact -- today <strong>before 5:14pm </strong>and<strong> after 7:11pm EDT, </strong>will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 20th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Saturday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning</strong>, <em>an opportune Mars/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:55am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Monday (May 14th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Friday (May 25th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This is an opportunity to accept the validity of our anger and desire so that we can learn to express these energies naturally and confidently.</span>\r\n\r\nThis could also inspire us to make resolutions and take actions towards healing our emotional and spiritual wounds. Remember: this is an \"opportunity\" -- those aren\'t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in the following: 29 degrees of <b>Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus, Scorpio, </b>or<b> </b>0-4 degrees of</i><b><i> Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, </i><span class=\"s1\"><i>you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Aries </i></b><i>(Mars rules Aries)</i></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late afternoon</strong>, <em>a challenging Venus/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:24pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday night (May 17th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Wednesday (May 23rd). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This aspect asks us to stretch past injuries and insecurities in our relationships, self-worth, and finances. If we can bring compassion and a different point of view to bear on these issues, we will reach a new understanding of ourselves and our life journey.</span>\r\n\r\nWe have the opportunity to learn from one another; ironically though, we may also feel insecure around others. Whenever Chiron is involved, we are being asked to do some healing work. As best as you can, use this time to learn about your sore spots. Nobody is perfect: we all have our flaws and idiosyncrasies. It\'s ok.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you get triggered by someone, as best as you can, take it as an opportunity to see where this trigger originated -- probably in your childhood. Bring love and compassion to yourself, as you are, and as you were (i.e. your \"wounded child\"). Allow <i>any</i> feelings this may stir up in you. A feeling is just energy that wants to be experienced, and honored; it wants to move through us and out.</span></p>\r\nThe more we resist our feelings, the more we keep them spinning in place. As best as you can, move from the head to the heart: What might change, if you showed 5% more compassion toward your inner wounded child? What if you just decided to take an active part in the healing process?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: 28-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i>0-5 degrees of </i><b><i>Cancer, Aries, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 10:06pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from early morning (May 20th) on, it will remain strong until Monday evening (May 21st). </strong><span class=\"s1\">We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward; we need to make a choice. We need to develop inner awareness, so we can make adjustments.</span>\r\n\r\nThis might concern compromising with others. Our enthusiasm might make us impatient or hasty with others. Our values may not be in alignment with those we work with. As best as you can, keep choosing the \"better\" alternative, adjusting as needed.\r\n\r\nWhen life slows down, or becomes uncomfortable, simplify and be patient. We are changing and growing in ways that we can\'t comprehend right now. Stay as open and observant as you can.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-3 degrees of</i><b><i> Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> (Venus rules Taurus and Libra; Mars rules Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening at 10:15pm EDT</strong>,the Sun changes signs from steady, sensual <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>to versatile, fast-thinking</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b>. It will journey through Gemini <b>until June 21st.</b> With the Sun in Gemini, the urge for self-expression is strong. We may be extra interested in collecting and sharing information. This is a time when curiosity and adaptability are favored. We are more flexible, changeable and adaptable -- which makes us quite social as well.\r\n\r\nWe enjoy intellectual conversations and we can easily become bored if we are not getting enough mental stimulation at this time. We are more objective and observant but prefer to keep things light and easy. There is usually a nervousness in the air at this time as well, as we are constantly seeking to connect and have new interactions. “Sharing” is the name of the game.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Gemini, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo, your vitality will most likely speed up and you feel more chatty than usual.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 11:30 pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 22.5 hours, <strong>until 10:03pm EDT </strong>(Monday late evening, May 21st). We are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we feel a strong need to have fun and be creative or self-expressed.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, we want to explore deep, authentic -- even intimate -- connections to ourselves or others. Do your best to use this intuitive time to make adjustments, slow things down a little, and find creative solutions that honor both drives.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday late evening and Monday all day ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>A heads-up for next Monday (May 21st)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a>, <strong>until 10:03pm EDT</strong>. <strong>Also on Monday at 11:49pm EDT</strong>, <em>the first Quarter Moon in 1 degree of <strong>Virgo</strong> becomes exact</em>; the Moon in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in chatty, versatile <strong>Gemini</strong>. More about the details in next week\'s forecast ;-)\r\n<h3>One More Announcement:</h3>\r\nJoin me for my next FORECASTING FORUM on <strong>Thursday, May 31st</strong> <strong>at</strong> 4pm PDT/ <strong>7pm EDT</strong>/Midnight BST (London-time).<strong> Please note</strong> that we will be talking about the <strong>Mars Station </strong>and<strong> Retrograde phase</strong> that begins in June.

Uranus is an outer planet that takes a long time to go around the Sun; the last time it moved through Taurus was between June 1934 and May 1942; before that, it was from July 1850 - March 1859.\r\n\r\nBefore we look at those periods of history, let’s talk briefly about the themes of Uranus in Taurus, so we can spot those “rhymes” if they occur. What can we expect when disruptive Uranus moves through earthy Taurus? Well, for one thing, it would be wise to get comfortable with being uncomfortable and relaxed with being surprised.\r\n\r\nIf we were only allowed one word to describe what Uranus does, it would be \"disruption\". It\'s all about progress, change -- but not necessarily gradual, continuous amendment of the old -- this is more like breaking down and uprooting the \"old\" structures.\r\n\r\nThis is the planet of “vision”, and like all visionaries, it favors a revolution as the quickest way to realize the \"ideal future state\". It moves toward more freedom -- you could say the higher vibration of Uranus seeks freedom for all, while a lower vibration says \"I need to be free to do what I want, and the hell with you\".\r\n\r\nUranus listens to a higher calling -- a Divine Mind -- and can thus be detached from emotion and “human feeling”. Depending on the vision being pursued, this can be highly beneficial, or very dangerous.\r\n\r\nUranus urges everyone to wake up and smell the coffee, then join together to make coffee like the world has never seen and make sure that nobody ever has to drink mediocre coffee ever again.\r\n\r\nSome Uranian keywords: Technology, Innovation, Discovery, Novelty, Ingenuity, Originality, and Astrology.\r\n\r\nUranus has two major modes: Reactive and Intuitive. Look over that list of keywords again and notice how those modes would play out for each one -- \"reactive\" would lead pretty much every time to harm, \"intuitive\" to life-giving breakthroughs.\r\n\r\nAs you can probably tell, Uranus celebrates originality and individuality; it loves the rebels and revolutionaries who rally against the \"establishment\" and their established thought -- or who at least put a new spin on old things. It can also go overboard and end up steering an erratic course onto the rocks.\r\n\r\nSo much for Uranus -- what of Taurus?\r\n\r\nTaurus is connected to the Earth. This would include the practical uses we make of it -- first and foremost, for growing our food, but also for ownership and stewardship of its land and resources. It also covers our most personal \"resources\", i.e. our talents, and our values. Just as the land brings forth life, Taurus is also the sign of fertility; just as we honor the material reality of the planet, Taurus calls on us to honor our bodies.\r\n\r\nAmong other things, Taurus rules the following: farming, finance, high-quality food, comfort, sensuality, beauty, the voice (e.g. singing), the five senses, the practical and useful, and producing something with your hands (for example, putting up a building is very Taurean).\r\n\r\nNow that we’ve covered the major themes of Uranus and Taurus, let’s take a look at those two historical periods.\r\n\r\nWhat do we see when we look at these turbulent times through the lens of Astrology? Are there any Uranian themes we see running through them? And how does that Taurean influence play out? Let’s look at July 1850 - March 1859 first, then move on to the period between June 1934 and May 1942).\r\n\r\nWagner and Verdi fused classical themes with contemporary music to create Grand Opera. Charles Dickens and Tolstoy revolutionize the novel, while Walt Whitman\'s \"Leaves of Grass\" changes poetry forever.\r\n\r\nFlorence Nightingale becomes a pioneer of modern nursing and profoundly affects people\'s perceptions of women and their capabilities.\r\n\r\nStronger, cheaper steel is invented, along with the Otis Elevator – people begin to envision buildings so tall, they would be called “skyscrapers” (Taurus rules the making of buildings).\r\n\r\nGregor Mendel begins studying genetics, Neanderthal remains are discovered, and Darwin presents his Theory of Evolution.\r\n\r\nThe Financial Panic of 1857 closed the banks for two months, while out West, gold fever gripped the nation; and the Trans-Atlantic cable sent a telegram across the ocean in real-time.\r\n\r\nMany things we now take for granted were invented in this period, among others: gasoline, mass media (the first major newspapers were published in London), pencils with attached erasers, blue jeans, potato chips….\r\n\r\nNow let’s look at the period from June 1934 – May 1942.\r\n\r\nThis more recent Uranus/Taurus transit was one of tremendous upheaval, with much undoing of old structures. In the US, the \"New Deal\" accelerated and radically changed how government worked, including the introduction of \"Social Security\". And of course, having gained power in 1933, the Nazi party swept away Germany\'s \"Weimar Republic\" and used new technologies to realize Hitler’s murderous vision.\r\n\r\nMany inventions came to light during this time, some that would change the course of human history in very fundamental ways: antibiotics (for the first time, humans could beat, not just \"treat\", disease). If you are reading this on a “programmable computer” of any kind (smartphone, PC, etc.), its ancestor was created at this time. Work began on the first nuclear weapons.\r\n\r\nFrank Lloyd Wright built \"Fallingwater\", and the first entirely glass-covered building went up in Illinois (note the advances in building techniques). The 1936 Berlin Olympics became the first live television event (and viewers could watch African-American Jesse Owens win four gold medals). Superman, Batman, and Captain America could have written to Tolkien\'s Hobbit with the newly-invented ballpoint pen.\r\n\r\nYou could drive a car with an automatic transmission down the first modern highway in America (the Pennsylvania Turnpike), perhaps burning some of the oil recently discovered in Saudi Arabia. If you drove all the way to California, you could grab a burger and fries at a new restaurant called \"McDonald\'s\", where two brothers pursued their vision of “fast food” by applying Henry Ford\'s production line techniques to food preparation.\r\n\r\nAs you can see, the pace of change in both periods is pretty staggering – and certainly, the world has not slowed down any since then – so what areas of life should we look at for a new vision to emerge in?\r\n\r\nFirstly, we can expect lots of practical applications for technologies, innovations and discoveries, especially those that came to light within the last 7 years (while Uranus was in Aries). People will be teeming with ideas to make life easier (or at least more comfortable) on a physical level -- this goes not just for humans, but for the planet and all its residents.\r\n\r\nFarming might also see tremendous change -- growing our own food could gain in appeal – perhaps with the emergence of new technologies that support us with food production and gardening.\r\n\r\nWe may get a wake-up call concerning the planet\'s condition, leading us to change how we view it (and use its resources). In general, this long transit builds our awareness of physical matter and how we treat both our bodies and the only planet our bodies can live on without an air-tight suit.\r\n\r\nOur attention is also directed to the ways we spend our money and who looks after it for us (banks and the financial system). Will the cryptocurrencies that have gained tremendous ground over the last 7 years profoundly disrupt the banking “world”?\r\n\r\nFinally, we clearly have a responsibility to be very careful which visions we pursue (and which visionaries we listen to) – will we reap the benefits of that intuitive Uranian mode, or come from the reactive, fear-based mode that can cause such harm to ourselves, each other, and our planet? It’s up to us to decide in every moment.\r\n\r\nOf course, you are a unique individual, having a unique experience in this ever-unfolding universe -- so this major shift will affect you uniquely. To learn more, take a look (if you can) at the placement of the following in your birth chart:\r\n\r\n* Uranus\r\n* Aquarius\r\n* Taurus\r\n\r\nIn addition to that birth chart research, look for the position and journey of your transiting Venus -- it will give you great insight into what you can expect from your personal (r)evolution, as Uranus proceeds on its almost 8-year transit through Taurus.', 'Uranus in Taurus until 2026 -- A New Vision for the Earth', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '10048-revision-v1', '', '', '2018-05-13 15:46:52', '2018-05-13 19:46:52', '', '10048', 'https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/10048-revision-v1/', '0', 'revision', '', '0');

It can also go overboard and end up steering an erratic course onto the rocks.\r\n\r\n<em>So much for Uranus -- what of <strong>Taurus</strong>?</em>\r\n\r\nTaurus is connected to the Earth. This would include the practical uses we make of it -- first and foremost, for growing our food, but also for ownership and stewardship of its land and resources. It also covers our most personal \"resources\", i.e. our talents, and our values. Just as the land brings forth life, Taurus is also the sign of fertility; just as we honor the material reality of the planet, Taurus calls on us to honor our bodies.\r\n\r\nAmong other things, Taurus rules the following: farming, finance, high-quality food, comfort, sensuality, beauty, the voice (e.g. singing), the five senses, the practical and useful, and producing something with your hands (for example, putting up a building is very Taurean).\r\n\r\nNow that we’ve covered the major themes of Uranus and Taurus, let’s take a look at those two historical periods.\r\n\r\nWhat do we see when we look at these turbulent times through the lens of Astrology? Are there any Uranian themes we see running through them? And how does that Taurean influence play out? Let’s look at July 1850 - March 1859 first, then move on to the period between June 1934 and May 1942).\r\n\r\nWagner and Verdi fused classical themes with contemporary music to create Grand Opera.

In the US, the \"New Deal\" accelerated and radically changed how government worked, including the introduction of \"Social Security\". And of course, having gained power in 1933, the Nazi party swept away Germany\'s \"Weimar Republic\" and used new technologies to realize Hitler’s murderous vision.\r\n\r\nMany inventions came to light during this time, some that would change the course of human history in very fundamental ways: antibiotics (for the first time, humans could \"beat\", not just \"treat\", disease). If you are reading this on a “programmable computer” of any kind (smartphone, PC, etc.), its ancestor was created at this time. Work began on the first nuclear weapons.\r\n\r\nFrank Lloyd Wright built \"Fallingwater\", and the first entirely glass-covered building went up in Illinois (note the advances in building techniques). The 1936 Berlin Olympics became the first live television event (and viewers could watch African-American Jesse Owens win four gold medals). <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Superman, Batman, and Captain America could have written to Tolkien\'s Hobbit with the newly-invented ballpoint pen.</span>\r\n\r\nYou could drive a car with an automatic transmission down the first modern highway in America (the Pennsylvania Turnpike), perhaps burning some of the oil recently discovered in Saudi Arabia. If you drove all the way to California, you could grab a burger and fries at a new restaurant called \"McDonald\'s\", where two brothers pursued their vision of “fast food” by applying Henry Ford\'s production line techniques to food preparation.\r\n\r\nAs you can see, the pace of change in both periods is pretty staggering – and certainly, the world has not slowed down any since then – so what areas of life should we look at for a new vision to emerge in?\r\n\r\nFirstly, we can expect lots of practical applications for technologies, innovations and discoveries, especially those that came to light within the last 7 years (while Uranus was in Aries). People will be teeming with ideas to make life easier (or at least more comfortable) on a physical level -- this goes not just for humans, but for the planet and all its residents.\r\n\r\nFarming might also see tremendous change -- growing our own food could gain in appeal – perhaps with the emergence of new technologies that support us with food production and gardening.\r\n\r\nWe may get a wake-up call concerning the planet\'s condition, leading us to change how we view it (and use its resources). In general, this long transit builds our awareness of physical matter and how we treat both our bodies and the only planet our human bodies can live on without an air-tight suit.\r\n\r\nOur attention is also directed to the ways we spend our money and who looks after it for us (banks and the financial system). Will the cryptocurrencies that have gained tremendous ground over the last 7 years profoundly disrupt the banking “world”?\r\n\r\nFinally, we clearly have a responsibility to be very careful which visions we value and pursue (and which visionaries we listen to) – will we reap the benefits of that intuitive Uranian mode, or come from the reactive, fear-based mode that can cause such harm to ourselves, each other, and our planet? It’s up to us to decide in every moment.\r\n\r\nOf course, you are a unique individual, having a unique experience in this ever-unfolding universe -- so this major shift will affect you uniquely.

If you drove all the way to California, you could grab a burger and fries at a new restaurant called \"McDonald\'s\", where two brothers pursued their vision of “fast food” by applying Henry Ford\'s production line techniques to food preparation.\r\n\r\nAs you can see, the pace of change in both periods is pretty staggering – and certainly, the world has not slowed down any since then – so what areas of life should we look at for a new vision to emerge in?\r\n\r\nFirstly, we can expect lots of practical applications for technologies, innovations and discoveries, especially those that came to light within the last 7 years (while Uranus was in Aries). People will be teeming with ideas to make life easier (or at least more comfortable) on a physical level -- this goes not just for humans, but for the planet and all its residents.\r\n\r\nFarming might also see tremendous change -- growing our own food could gain in appeal – perhaps with the emergence of new technologies that support us with food production and gardening.\r\n\r\nWe may get a wake-up call concerning the planet\'s condition, leading us to change how we view it (and use its resources). In general, this long transit builds our awareness of physical matter and how we treat both our bodies and the only planet our human bodies can live on without an air-tight suit.\r\n\r\nOur attention is also directed to the ways we spend our money and who looks after it for us (banks and the financial system). Will the cryptocurrencies that have gained tremendous ground over the last 7 years profoundly disrupt the banking “world”?\r\n\r\nFinally, we clearly have a responsibility to be very careful which visions we value and pursue (and which visionaries we listen to) – will we reap the benefits of that intuitive Uranian mode, or come from the reactive, fear-based mode that can cause such harm to ourselves, each other, and our planet? It’s up to us to decide in every moment.\r\n\r\nOf course, you are a unique individual, having a unique experience in this ever-unfolding universe -- so this major shift will affect you uniquely.

Uranus is an outer planet that takes a long time to go around the Sun; the last time it moved through Taurus was between June 1934 and May 1942; before that, it was from July 1850 - March 1859.\r\n\r\nBefore we look at those periods of history, let’s talk briefly about the themes of Uranus in Taurus, so we can spot those “rhymes” if they occur. <em>What can we expect when disruptive Uranus moves through earthy <strong>Taurus</strong>?</em> Well, for one thing, it would be wise to get comfortable with being uncomfortable and relaxed with being surprised.\r\n\r\nIf we were only allowed one word to describe what Uranus does, it would be \"disruption\". It\'s all about progress, change -- but not necessarily gradual, continuous amendment of the old -- this is more like breaking down and uprooting the \"old\" structures.\r\n\r\nThis is the planet of “vision”, and like all visionaries, it favors a revolution as the quickest way to realize the \"ideal future state\". It moves toward more freedom -- you could say the higher vibration of Uranus seeks freedom for all, while a lower vibration says \"I need to be free to do what I want, and the hell with you\".\r\n\r\nUranus listens to a higher calling -- a Divine Mind -- and can thus be detached from emotion and “human feeling”. Depending on the vision being pursued, this can be highly beneficial, or very dangerous.\r\n\r\nUranus urges everyone to wake up and smell the coffee, then join together to make coffee like the world has never seen and make sure that nobody ever has to drink mediocre coffee ever again.\r\n\r\nSome Uranian keywords: Technology, Innovation, Discovery, Novelty, Ingenuity, Originality, and Astrology.\r\n\r\nUranus has two major modes: Reactive and Intuitive. Look over that list of keywords again and notice how those modes would play out for each one -- \"reactive\" would lead pretty much every time to harm, \"intuitive\" to life-giving breakthroughs.\r\n\r\nAs you can probably tell, Uranus celebrates originality and individuality; it loves the rebels and revolutionaries who rally against the \"establishment\" and their established thought -- or who at least put a new spin on old things. It can also go overboard and end up steering an erratic course onto the rocks.\r\n\r\n<em>So much for Uranus -- what of <strong>Taurus</strong>?</em>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>ALREADY A MEMBER?

This would include the practical uses we make of it -- first and foremost, for growing our food, but also for ownership and stewardship of its land and resources. It also covers our most personal \"resources\", i.e. our talents, and our values. Just as the land brings forth life, Taurus is also the sign of fertility; just as we honor the material reality of the planet, Taurus calls on us to honor our bodies.\r\n\r\nAmong other things, Taurus rules the following: farming, finance, high-quality food, comfort, sensuality, beauty, the voice (e.g. singing), the five senses, the practical and useful, and producing something with your hands (for example, putting up a building is very Taurean).\r\n\r\nNow that we’ve covered the major themes of Uranus and Taurus, let’s take a look at those two historical periods.\r\n\r\nWhat do we see when we look at these turbulent times through the lens of Astrology? Are there any Uranian themes we see running through them? And how does that Taurean influence play out? Let’s look at July 1850 - March 1859 first, then move on to the period between June 1934 and May 1942).\r\n\r\nWagner and Verdi fused classical themes with contemporary music to create Grand Opera. Charles Dickens and Tolstoy revolutionize the novel, while Walt Whitman\'s \"Leaves of Grass\" changes poetry forever.\r\n\r\nFlorence Nightingale becomes a pioneer of modern nursing and profoundly affects people\'s perceptions of women and their capabilities.\r\n\r\nStronger, cheaper steel is invented, along with the Otis Elevator – people begin to envision buildings so tall, they would be called “skyscrapers” (Taurus rules the making of buildings).\r\n\r\nGregor Mendel begins studying genetics, Neanderthal remains are discovered, and Darwin presents his Theory of Evolution.\r\n\r\nThe Financial Panic of 1857 closed the banks for two months, while out West, gold fever gripped the nation; and the Trans-Atlantic cable sent a telegram across the ocean in real-time.\r\n\r\nMany things we now take for granted were invented in this period, among others: gasoline, mass media (the first major newspapers were published in London), pencils with attached erasers, blue jeans, potato chips….\r\n\r\nNow let’s look at the period from June 1934 – May 1942.\r\n\r\nThis more recent Uranus/Taurus transit was one of tremendous upheaval, with much undoing of old structures. In the US, the \"New Deal\" accelerated and radically changed how government worked, including the introduction of \"Social Security\". And of course, having gained power in 1933, the Nazi party swept away Germany\'s \"Weimar Republic\" and used new technologies to realize Hitler’s murderous vision.\r\n\r\nMany inventions came to light during this time, some that would change the course of human history in very fundamental ways: antibiotics (for the first time, humans could \"beat\", not just \"treat\", disease). If you are reading this on a “programmable computer” of any kind (smartphone, PC, etc.), its ancestor was created at this time. Work began on the first nuclear weapons.\r\n\r\nFrank Lloyd Wright built \"Fallingwater\", and the first entirely glass-covered building went up in Illinois (note the advances in building techniques). The 1936 Berlin Olympics became the first live television event (and viewers could watch African-American Jesse Owens win four gold medals). A positive vision of a \"superman\" was also advanced in comic books and literature: Superman, Batman, and Captain America went on their first adventures. Perhaps some of those stories were written in the ballpoint pen that was rapidly replacing the old \"fountain\" pens.\r\n\r\nYou could drive a car with an automatic transmission down the first modern highway in America (the Pennsylvania Turnpike), perhaps burning some of the oil recently discovered in Saudi Arabia. If you drove all the way to California, you could grab a burger and fries at a new restaurant called \"McDonald\'s\", where two brothers pursued their vision of “fast food” by applying Henry Ford\'s production line techniques to food preparation.\r\n\r\nAs you can see, the pace of change in both periods is pretty staggering – and certainly, the world has not slowed down any since then – so what areas of life should we look at for a new vision to emerge in?\r\n\r\nFirstly, we can expect lots of practical applications for technologies, innovations and discoveries, especially those that came to light within the last 7 years (while Uranus was in Aries). People will be teeming with ideas to make life easier (or at least more comfortable) on a physical level -- this goes not just for humans, but for the planet and all its residents.\r\n\r\nFarming might also see tremendous change -- growing our own food could gain in appeal – perhaps with the emergence of new technologies that support us with food production and gardening.\r\n\r\nWe may get a wake-up call concerning the planet\'s condition, leading us to change how we view it (and use its resources). In general, this long transit builds our awareness of physical matter and how we treat both our bodies and the only planet our human bodies can live on without an air-tight suit.\r\n\r\nOur attention is also directed to the ways we spend our money and who looks after it for us (banks and the financial system). Will the cryptocurrencies that have gained tremendous ground over the last 7 years profoundly disrupt the banking “world”?\r\n\r\nFinally, we clearly have a responsibility to be very careful which visions we value and pursue (and which visionaries we listen to) – will we reap the benefits of that intuitive Uranian mode, or come from the reactive, fear-based mode that can cause such harm to ourselves, each other, and our planet?

It\'s considered the bridge between the limitations of the physical and the unlimited nature of the non-physical (or spiritual) world. Often referred to as the \"Wounded Healer\", it reminds us of our humanity -- and guides us to see it as a gift.\r\n\r\nWhen we take responsibility for our human limitations and move past seeing them as \"wrong\" or \"bad\", our inner gifts and uniqueness can emerge more completely and powerfully.\r\n\r\n<strong>Let\'s look now at Chiron in Aries:</strong> The day after Chiron moves into <strong>Aries</strong>,...\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>ALREADY A MEMBER?

This points to the possibility that Chiron\'s journey through <strong>Aries</strong> will place a strong emphasis on liberation of the self.\r\n\r\nChiron in <strong>Aries</strong> is all about the wounded warrior, the Healer-Hero that emerges from a Warrior\'s healing journey. The healing path consists of seeing, acknowledging, embracing, and finally loving ourselves just as we are: physically, emotionally  and spiritually -- especially when it comes to our personal goals, leadership and inspirational abilities, our ability to take action, our \"masculine\" drive.\r\n\r\nBroadly speaking, then: our capacity to go after what we desire...\r\n\r\nWe get to see that we all have the ability to heal, and be healed, through our actions. Each of us can step into our inner healer in our own unique way.\r\n\r\n<strong>You can ask yourself:</strong> What is the next step on the path of healing for my inner child, my inner wounding? How were my ancestors wounded around \"the masculine\"? What step can I personally take on that healing path?\r\n\r\nChiron in <strong>Aries</strong> also has us look at some of the following: How we express our anger (or how we do not express it), how we might further heal our relationship to our body (this includes sexuality, gender, etc.) and our personal desires; how we do or do not take initiative, display courage, and practice self-determination.\r\n\r\n<strong>Ask:</strong> What would a healthy sense of identity, independence, and willpower enable me to do? Might accepting my limitations lead to unique ways to move with those energies? What makes me an individual? What are my unique desires and goals?\r\n\r\nThere is also an emphasis on injuries (especially head injuries), physical flaws, issues around anger and assertion of our anger, impatience, being ok with who we are. All of these issues could feel sensitive and fire off our \"triggers\" or bring up shame.\r\n\r\nOne thing is for sure: Chiron in Aries will show us a new perspective and will open new doors of healing for us -- likely a physically active Healing Journey. To the extent that this transit highlights our leadership abilities, the journey is toward becoming a different kind of leader, a non-traditional one.\r\n\r\n<strong>This question lies at the heart of that journey:</strong> How do we channel our masculine energy?\r\n\r\nThis is a very important question, if we are to become a conscious, holistic warrior. Picture the film actors Bruce Lee, Jet Li, or Michelle Yeah -- they are consciously connecting the active physical with the emotional and spiritual -- through martial arts in their case -- you might also picture a great practitioner of Yoga -- we\'re talking here about a conscious, holistic relationship to physical dynamics.\r\n\r\nWhat do we see in great practitioners of these arts?\r\n\r\nAmong other things, they seem to understand that impatience is wanting to move faster than what is required in the now moment.\r\n\r\nThey take responsibility for their triggers around reactivity, impatience, aggression, inconsiderate leadership, etc. and have an understanding for where it comes from (ancestors history, childhood) and what the impact is on others.\r\n\r\nThey look for unique ways to express themselves and channel those energies in a healthy way, sometimes in a new, non-traditional way. They ask \"What might be the alternatives here?\"\r\n\r\nThey are compassionate with themselves and others when it comes to expressing masculine energies.\r\n\r\nLike them, <em>this journey of Chiron through <strong>Aries</strong></em> is not about aggression, but rather assertiveness. For all of us, whatever our starting point, it is also about acknowledging and embracing limitations around anger. We also need an open, compassionate awareness as to whether we are responding or \"reacting\" to our circumstances.\r\n\r\nAs we develop understanding for our inner \"wounded\" child and our \"human\" limitations (in parallel with the above) we build a space for compassion. In fact, I recommend you celebrate your limitations. Why? Because that means you are compassionately aware of them -- and awareness is always the first step towards healing.\r\n\r\nWalking these paths can continually recreate us as leaders with an holistic approach and a healing, compassionate presence.\r\n\r\n[/wcm_restrict]\r\n\r\nWere you born between April 1968 and May 1976?

Uranus is an outer planet that takes a long time to go around the Sun; the last time it moved through Taurus was between June 1934 and May 1942; before that, it was from July 1850 - March 1859.\r\n\r\nBefore we look at those periods of history, let’s talk briefly about the themes of Uranus in Taurus, so we can spot those “rhymes” if they occur. <em>What can we expect when disruptive Uranus moves through earthy <strong>Taurus</strong>?</em> Well, for one thing, it would be wise to get comfortable with being uncomfortable and relaxed with being surprised.\r\n\r\nIf we were only allowed one word to describe what Uranus does, it would be \"disruption\". It\'s all about progress, change -- but not necessarily gradual, continuous amendment of the old -- this is more like breaking down and uprooting the \"old\" structures.\r\n\r\nThis is the planet of “vision”, and like all visionaries, it favors a revolution as the quickest way to realize the \"ideal future state\". It moves toward more freedom -- you could say the higher vibration of Uranus seeks freedom for all, while a lower vibration says \"I need to be free to do what I want, and the hell with you\".\r\n\r\nUranus listens to a higher calling -- a Divine Mind -- and can thus be detached from emotion and “human feeling”. Depending on the vision being pursued, this can be highly beneficial, or very dangerous.\r\n\r\nUranus urges everyone to wake up and smell the coffee, then join together to make coffee like the world has never seen and make sure that nobody ever has to drink mediocre coffee ever again.\r\n\r\nSome Uranian keywords: Technology, Innovation, Discovery, Novelty, Ingenuity, Originality, and Astrology.\r\n\r\nUranus has two major modes: Reactive and Intuitive. Look over that list of keywords again and notice how those modes would play out for each one -- \"reactive\" would lead pretty much every time to harm, \"intuitive\" to life-giving breakthroughs.\r\n\r\nAs you can probably tell, Uranus celebrates originality and individuality; it loves the rebels and revolutionaries who rally against the \"establishment\" and their established thought -- or who at least put a new spin on old things. It can also go overboard and end up steering an erratic course onto the rocks.\r\n\r\n<em>So much for Uranus -- what of <strong>Taurus</strong>? </em>Taurus is connected to...\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>ALREADY A MEMBER?

This would include the practical uses we make of it -- first and foremost, for growing our food, but also for ownership and stewardship of its land and resources. It also covers our most personal \"resources\", i.e. our talents, and our values. Just as the land brings forth life, Taurus is also the sign of fertility; just as we honor the material reality of the planet, Taurus calls on us to honor our bodies.\r\n\r\nAmong other things, Taurus rules the following: farming, finance, high-quality food, comfort, sensuality, beauty, the voice (e.g. singing), the five senses, the practical and useful, and producing something with your hands (for example, putting up a building is very Taurean).\r\n\r\nNow that we’ve covered the major themes of Uranus and Taurus, let’s take a look at those two historical periods.\r\n\r\nWhat do we see when we look at these turbulent times through the lens of Astrology? Are there any Uranian themes we see running through them? And how does that Taurean influence play out? Let’s look at July 1850 - March 1859 first, then move on to the period between June 1934 and May 1942).\r\n\r\nWagner and Verdi fused classical themes with contemporary music to create Grand Opera. Charles Dickens and Tolstoy revolutionize the novel, while Walt Whitman\'s \"Leaves of Grass\" changes poetry forever.\r\n\r\nFlorence Nightingale becomes a pioneer of modern nursing and profoundly affects people\'s perceptions of women and their capabilities.\r\n\r\nStronger, cheaper steel is invented, along with the Otis Elevator – people begin to envision buildings so tall, they would be called “skyscrapers” (Taurus rules the making of buildings).\r\n\r\nGregor Mendel begins studying genetics, Neanderthal remains are discovered, and Darwin presents his Theory of Evolution.\r\n\r\nThe Financial Panic of 1857 closed the banks for two months, while out West, gold fever gripped the nation; and the Trans-Atlantic cable sent a telegram across the ocean in real-time.\r\n\r\nMany things we now take for granted were invented in this period, among others: gasoline, mass media (the first major newspapers were published in London), pencils with attached erasers, blue jeans, potato chips….\r\n\r\nNow let’s look at the period from June 1934 – May 1942.\r\n\r\nThis more recent Uranus/Taurus transit was one of tremendous upheaval, with much undoing of old structures. In the US, the \"New Deal\" accelerated and radically changed how government worked, including the introduction of \"Social Security\". And of course, having gained power in 1933, the Nazi party swept away Germany\'s \"Weimar Republic\" and used new technologies to realize Hitler’s murderous vision.\r\n\r\nMany inventions came to light during this time, some that would change the course of human history in very fundamental ways: antibiotics (for the first time, humans could \"beat\", not just \"treat\", disease). If you are reading this on a “programmable computer” of any kind (smartphone, PC, etc.), its ancestor was created at this time. Work began on the first nuclear weapons.\r\n\r\nFrank Lloyd Wright built \"Fallingwater\", and the first entirely glass-covered building went up in Illinois (note the advances in building techniques). The 1936 Berlin Olympics became the first live television event (and viewers could watch African-American Jesse Owens win four gold medals). A positive vision of a \"superman\" was also advanced in comic books and literature: Superman, Batman, and Captain America went on their first adventures. Perhaps some of those stories were written in the ballpoint pen that was rapidly replacing the old \"fountain\" pens.\r\n\r\nYou could drive a car with an automatic transmission down the first modern highway in America (the Pennsylvania Turnpike), perhaps burning some of the oil recently discovered in Saudi Arabia. If you drove all the way to California, you could grab a burger and fries at a new restaurant called \"McDonald\'s\", where two brothers pursued their vision of “fast food” by applying Henry Ford\'s production line techniques to food preparation.\r\n\r\nAs you can see, the pace of change in both periods is pretty staggering – and certainly, the world has not slowed down any since then – so what areas of life should we look at for a new vision to emerge in?\r\n\r\nFirstly, we can expect lots of practical applications for technologies, innovations and discoveries, especially those that came to light within the last 7 years (while Uranus was in Aries). People will be teeming with ideas to make life easier (or at least more comfortable) on a physical level -- this goes not just for humans, but for the planet and all its residents.\r\n\r\nFarming might also see tremendous change -- growing our own food could gain in appeal – perhaps with the emergence of new technologies that support us with food production and gardening.\r\n\r\nWe may get a wake-up call concerning the planet\'s condition, leading us to change how we view it (and use its resources). In general, this long transit builds our awareness of physical matter and how we treat both our bodies and the only planet our human bodies can live on without an air-tight suit.\r\n\r\nOur attention is also directed to the ways we spend our money and who looks after it for us (banks and the financial system). Will the cryptocurrencies that have gained tremendous ground over the last 7 years profoundly disrupt the banking “world”?\r\n\r\nFinally, we clearly have a responsibility to be very careful which visions we value and pursue (and which visionaries we listen to) – will we reap the benefits of that intuitive Uranian mode, or come from the reactive, fear-based mode that can cause such harm to ourselves, each other, and our planet? It’s up to us to decide in every moment.\r\n\r\n[/wcm_restrict]\r\n\r\nOf course, you are a unique individual, having a unique experience in this ever-unfolding universe -- so this major shift will affect you uniquely.

What does the bigger picture look like?<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday </strong>is also the <i>last day before the New Moon</i> becomes exact. This is a great day to let go of what no longer serves us. As best as you can, avoid jumping the gun: Rather than launching into brand-new endeavors or connections, wait until a couple of days has passed after the New Moon. Some of us might feel a little anxious or nervous today: As best as you can, get quiet and go within… Listen to the silence between the sounds… Find peace in the connection with your innermost and truest Self.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (15th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus</strong></em> <strong>until 4:43pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 7:48am EDT</strong>, the <i>New Moon in 24.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> becomes exact. This marks the beginning of a new Moon cycle. As best as you can, get really quiet, and see if you are getting any new messages or ideas. If you are, harvest them, and fold them into any intentions you set for the new Moon cycle -- I will talk about this process later in the forecast, and I’ll even give you the very best and most potent times for doing it :-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Click here to watch my video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\n<i>This New Moon in steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> places more focus on our interactions with the physical world -- you could say that we seek a healthier relationship with “matter\", one in which we are neither too attached, or too disconnected from our bodies, resources (such as money), and the planet we co-inhabit. We are powerfully reminded to take the time to honor the only planet we can currently live on — The Earth — we are called on to honor its resources and beauty.\r\n\r\nIn much the same spirit, we are invited also to honor ourselves, our bodies, our talents. This is a good time for reevaluating our relationship to money and possessions, and for discovering what truly makes us happy and fulfilled. Check in with yourself: What came to mind when you read this?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon trines Mars and Pluto in </i><b><i>Capricorn. </i></b>This combo promotes a realistic and responsible long-term approach. We have the chance to better align our goals with our values; it\'s easier for us to sustain what we have started, and bring a heightened sense of commitment to it all.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I am completely honest, what do I truly want for myself long-term? What really matters to me? If I felt the need to connect to something in a passionate way, what might that be? What truly fulfills me? And what modest step could I take today to move towards my goals?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus, </i>the ruler of Taurus, <i>moves through </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> at the time of the New Moon. This reminds us to learn and discuss Taurean issues: resources, appreciation of physical matter, natural beauty etc.\r\n\r\nThe spiritual quest of <b>Gemini</b>, on the other hand, concerns the development of perception, our powers of thought, and communication. As the creative power of the feminine, Venus in Gemini represents <i>the \"bringing together of opposites\" -- </i>people with different values, for example.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> When I picture this, what do I see? What might this look like in my various communities? How about within my relationships? Could exploring duality help me understand different points of views? Might curiosity be a vital tool in all of this? If so, what could I get curious about? What would 5% more flexibility do for my ability to relate to others?\r\n\r\nAnother thing worth mentioning: <i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>also</i> <i>makes a</i> <i>\"mutual reception\" to Mercury in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> <b><i>--</i></b> in other words, these planets are in each other\'s signs until May 19th; during that time, they \"mutually\" support each other\'s agenda. This gives us the opportunity to connect mind and heart.\r\n\r\nWe seek out mental stimulation: teaching, learning, writing, collecting and processing information, etc.... and we want to share the output in practical ways, applying it to the real world and ourselves, our values, and our physical experience of life.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, allow yourself to take your time processing things that you just started engaging with. In the meantime, stay open to learning, remain curious, and remember that every teacher is also a student and vice versa.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What if I listened to myself 5% more? What if I had 5% more faith that I\'d be heard? What might I discover about my thinking processes and my value? Is it possible my value doesn\'t need to be \"earned\"? What if, without my being alive, nothing else could be as it is?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus, in the last degree of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, makes a square to Mars in the last degree of </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b>at the time of the New Moon (more about this square when it becomes exact on Wednesday). As some of you already know, when a planet is the last degree of a sign, its energy is more exalted, as it knows that a shift is coming -- you could say that the rumbling of its vibration gets louder.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What am I waking to? Where do I need to assert myself? How might I do that while still keeping what I want to create long-term in view? What has been holding me back? What am I ready to address and change? What needs to happen so I can move forward in a mature fashion?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus moves into </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact (more on that below) -- starting its preview through this peace-loving, sensual sign until early November of this year -- I say \"preview\", because Uranus will return to <b>Taurus</b> in March 2019, for a 7 year-transit. These next 28 days will be ripe with shifts and changes, so stay centered in the here and now, expect the unexpected and allow yourself to make an inner shift -- as this paves the way for an outer shift. Flexibility is key!\r\n\r\nWe went over this upcoming shift in more detail in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how Uranus\'s journey through Taurus until 2026 impacts you personally, feel free to get the 120 min. long webinar on the subject; <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product-category/webinars/\">for more info or to purchase, click here </a>The fee for this is only $37, even though the webinar is 30 minutes longer than my usual webinars -- partly because we also cover Chiron\'s journey through Aries until 2027.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">You can also check out a brief excerpt of this webinar, here</a> Enjoy ;-) I also offer a <strong>Special Offer this month</strong>: sign up for Star or SuperStar Membership <strong>by May 31st</strong> (or upgrade from Universal to Star Membership via \"My Account\"), and get this webinar for FREE! If you are already a Star or SuperStar Member check your email for the link to this webinar -- it was emailed to you on April 30th ;-)\r\n\r\nThink back over the last 7 years (i.e. March 2011 - May 2018), while Uranus was in <b>Aries</b>, and <b>ask yourself: </b>Where did I make progress on my goals and desires? What structures needed to be renewed for me to break through and find a new or unique approach to who I\'m being? Do some of those structures actually need to break down? What self-realizations make me stand out and go after things in a more original way? How did this 7-year transit through Aries support my vision?\r\n\r\nIf you have a Birth chart, and know what to look for, look to see what Houses are connected to the <b>Aries</b> energy -- and if that sounds like I\'m talking a foreign language, feel free to watch my video: <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">How to Read Your Birth Chart</a> <i>or</i> <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">join our next Forecasting Forum</a> on <b>May 31st at 7pm EDT</b>, and ask me your questions there. We will cover the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that starts in June -- that will also be connected to Aries in your chart -- I will definitely explain this in great detail in the Forum ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> conjuncts Uranus in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> -- this alignment is exact on May 13th, in 29º of Aries, two days before the New Moon becomes exact<i>.</i><b><i> </i></b>This could bring some exciting possibilities, perhaps even a leap forward in the evolution of our consciousness, with flashes of insight into our own mental workings and some original thoughts coming through, etc.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, and as much as you want to (of course), stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What might a true breakthrough look like? What insights am I receiving? What is it I\'m learning about myself every day that might change my whole perspective?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury also makes a trine to Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>. With Saturn</i> being a part of the equation it is important for us to learn something new using a mature and realistic approach.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What concrete, practical plans could I make? Could I allow myself to take it one step at a time, staying grounded in the here and now? What does a truthful, realistic alignment with long-term goals look like to me?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> trines Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>at the time of the New Moon, bringing the potential for spiritual inspiration -- and it\'s a great time for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>How might more trust and empathy help my perception of intimate relationships? What might be possible for me if I allowed for things to unfold? What if I allowed myself to see the perfection in everything that I perceive right here, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> It is important to remember that we are part of nature, just like a tree, or an ocean -- our actions and interactions with the only home we have will change it, for good or ill. We are also developing an increasingly profound conscious awareness over the next 28 days that connects us to all that is alive.\r\n\r\nTo bring all this together,<b> ask yourself:</b> What baby steps could I take for the planet I co-inhabit? What would show my love and appreciation? What do I sense when I get very quiet and tune into my own energy field and the energy all around me? What really matters to my heart?\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <i>not</i> during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions </i>would be <b>between</b> <b>7:48am on Tuesday, May 15th and <strong>7:48am EDT Thursday morning (May 17th).</strong></b>\r\n\r\n<i>Note</i>, however, that there is a brief <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a><b> on Tuesday afternoon -- it runs from 4:30pm until 4:43pm EDT. </b><i>Don’t</i> set your intentions during those 13 minutes — instead, allow intuition to surface possible intentions while you wait.

I will be posting reminders on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday morning to let you know that it\'s the best time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nWhen setting intentions, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> What might shift if I focused 5% more on the beauty that already surrounds me?<i> </i>What might open up if I truly valued curiosity and open-mindedness? What if I learned to listen right past my conditioning and opinions? What if I took my time to respond? What might my heart want me to say? <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Again, feel free to also watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/IvgN28_yRKc\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 22-27 degrees of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>On Tuesday late morning, at 11:16am EDT</strong>,<em> Uranus changes signs from pioneering, fast-paced <strong>Aries</strong> to steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until November 6th.</strong>.\r\n\r\nThis is actually a \"preview\" of Uranus\'s coming 8-year transit through Taurus.

Also: Uranus was  also in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> 8 3 years ago.

Use this intuitive time to take small steps on projects already underway -- or simply take a break and do a set of Sun Salutations or push-ups ;-)\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 4:43pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters chatty, versatile <strong>Gemini,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Thursday late afternoon/early evening. </strong>For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way…\r\n\r\nThe one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 16th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Gemini</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\nTuesday night/<strong>Wednesday very early morning at 12:55am EDT,</strong> <i>Mars changes signs from practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Capricorn</strong><i> to freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><strong><i>Aquarius</i>, </strong>where it<em> </em>will journey for an unusually long time, <strong>until August 12th. </strong>Due to the upcoming Mars retrograde phase that begins in the end of June, Mars will journey through<strong> Aquarius </strong>one more time,<strong> from Sept. 10th - Nov. 15th.</strong>\r\n\r\nI will be talking about the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that begins in June in my next Forecasting Forum. Mars will be stationing in Aquarius, and retrograding back into Capricorn. What does this mean for the current Healing journey of our masculine energies?\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how to align yourself with this planetary movement, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation.

How could you move that to the next level?\r\n\r\nDuring these times, when Mars travels through Aquarius, we enjoy surprising ourselves and others. The tried-and-true methods of getting things done are far too boring for us right now. We are looking for unique and original goals, and we tend to take a more original, forward-thinking view of the world now. What if, when you were least expecting it, you suddenly asked yourself \"How could I surprise the \"old me\" today?\" ;-)\r\n\r\nMental and intellectual pursuits are important to us now. The Aquarian ideal of equality is strong with this position, so we also place a lot of value in freedom and individuality -- our own <i>and</i> that of others. With Mars in this fixed sign, we will definitely need our independence, especially in personal relationships -- and we are not easily pushed around. It\'s best to give ourselves and others lots of space; if we feel boxed in, we may rebel or act contrary.\r\n\r\nIn general, we may feel a desire to push our agenda on others -- not in an aggressive way, though... more in a creative manner. As best as you can, bring a sense of openness to your approach to people and situations. Be aware of feeling superior to others: if you find yourself thinking that someone is less \"special\" than you, put your hand over your heart and ask \"what would my heart say to this?\"\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more detached, forward-thinking and freedom-loving. You may want to change things in your life that have outlived their use. If you are an </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 12.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mars/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:04am EDT. This is the first Mars/Uranus Square of the year in the fixed signs (Aquarius/Taurus). <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last week Monday (May 7th), it will remain strong until next week Friday (May 25th). </strong>This aspect asks us to get in touch with our desires and break away from anything that is holding us back. Passions and anger that we may not even know we had may emerge at this time.\r\n\r\nUranus urges us to let go of the past and focus on a better future. We may feel restless and impatient; we can be very demanding and difficult to please. We tend to feel like progress is too slow and we are tired of waiting. This could be an explosive time, as our inner rebel issues emotional challenges, while outer \"reality\" demands we change course.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, if you are the kind of person that doesn\'t go in for asserting themselves, this is an excellent time to try it out ;-) Do your best not to burn all your bridges, especially with any males in your family or in your various communities. We may also experience an awakening of sorts in regards to our sexuality.\r\n\r\nAccidents are unusually likely (though not inevitable), especially if our levels of activity and energy are erratic; to prevent this, stay as grounded as possible and keep breathing! Flexibility and open-mindedness are always helpful but are especially important now. Notice when you are digging your heels in about something, this is usually a sign that you have some underlying anxiety about something else; again, take a deep breath, get centered in your body, close your eyes and focus on your third eye.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What am I afraid of happening? How might I channel this restless energy into projects that are asking for progress? How might I channel, or just burn off, all this erratic energy? What kind of exercise might be an energetic match? Where am I stagnating? Where am I able to take innovative action?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or personal planets in </i><i>27-29 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn,</i></b><i> or 0-</i><i>3 </i><i>degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>?

You may also want to plan Thursday afternoon until early evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 5:47pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Saturday evening</strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it -- otherwise, you risk becoming drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (May 18th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday late afternoon/early evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday early afternoon</strong>, <em>a harmonious Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:49pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening (May 16th) on, it will remain strong until Sunday (May 20th). </strong>It will help to interact with integrity and commitment. We can set aside unrealistic views and make concrete, practical plans, that help us explore our long-term goals.  <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe “get to the point” with no wasted time or words. Seeking a larger understanding, we speak our truth but temper it with adult caution and moderation. The reality of our beliefs gets clearer and our thought processes are more realistic. It is important for us to learn something new, with a mature attitude.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>5-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? Or perhaps you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn?</i></b><i> If so, you will likely be more blessed by this aspect.</i>\r\n\r\nAlso on<strong> Friday late afternoon, </strong>it\'s <i>time to take actions on our New Moon intentions</i>: if you set Intentions Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning -- after the New Moon became exact --<strong> today (from late afternoon on) </strong>and<strong> tomorrow (Saturday) <strong>before 5:14pm </strong></strong>and<strong><strong> after 7:11pm EDT, </strong></strong>will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (May 19th)</strong>:<em> the Moon remains in protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer</strong></em> <strong>until 7:11pm EDT</strong> (see Thursday early evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday morning at 9:11am EDT</strong>, <i style=\"font-style: italic;\">Venus changes signs from chatty, versatile &amp; curious</i><i> </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Gemini</strong><i style=\"font-style: italic;\"> to protective, nurturing </i><strong><i>Cancer, </i></strong>where she will journey <strong>until June 13th; </strong> for those 4 weeks, we value family, loved ones, our home, emotional safety -- and real-estate dealings.\r\n\r\nWe prefer to be around safe, familiar people and places. We\'d rather stay home than socialize; if we do go out, we much prefer dinner parties at someone\'s home to dining out. When it comes to love, be gentle with each other -- and make sure to talk about your feelings.\r\n\r\nWith regards to our finances, it\'s best to stick to what feels safest and most secure. It\'s a favorable time for real-estate and interior design, or anything that makes the home more comfortable and livable.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel more shy for the next 4 weeks. Your heart will want to connect with family and loved ones. If you are a</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to have more love and beauty in your life, for as long as Venus is in your sign ;-)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:30pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening (May 17th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Monday morning (May 21st). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This gives us the opportunity to experiment with how we relate to others -- to do something different or unusual -- freedom plays a big part in this aspect.</span>\r\n\r\nOf course, others are experimenting too, so you might experience some unusual or unexpected interactions during this time -- it\'s a favorable time for social meetings and events. As best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through your relationships.\r\n\r\nWe\'re also ready to experiment with our financial undertakings -- good places to look: all things \"tech\" (electronics, technology, internet); metaphysics; the arts; group activities. This is not the best time to make long-term financial investments not suggested in an intuitive flash ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 28-29 degrees of <strong>Gemini</strong></i><b><i>, Aries, Leo, </i></b><b><i>Aquarius, </i></b><i>or 0-2 degrees of <strong>Cancer, Taurus, Pisces, </strong>or<strong> Virgo</strong></i><i>?

This intuitive time is an opportunity to connect with family around shared values -- and perhaps also to take a look at your household finances...\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday late afternoon and evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 7:11pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday late evening</strong>. <span class=\"s1\">We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)</span>\r\n\r\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are also a big part of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.\r\n\r\nIf there are no children around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\nAgain, today<strong> (Saturday),  </strong>it\'s <i>time to take actions on our New Moon intentions</i>: if you set Intentions Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning -- after the New Moon became exact -- today <strong>before 5:14pm </strong>and<strong> after 7:11pm EDT, </strong>will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 20th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Saturday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning</strong>, <em>an opportune Mars/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:55am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Monday (May 14th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Friday (May 25th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This is an opportunity to accept the validity of our anger and desire so that we can learn to express these energies naturally and confidently.</span>\r\n\r\nThis could also inspire us to make resolutions and take actions towards healing our emotional and spiritual wounds. Remember: this is an \"opportunity\" -- those aren\'t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in the following: 29 degrees of <b>Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus, Scorpio, </b>or<b> </b>0-4 degrees of</i><b><i> Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, </i><span class=\"s1\"><i>you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Aries </i></b><i>(Mars rules Aries)</i></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late afternoon</strong>, <em>a challenging Venus/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:24pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday night (May 17th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Wednesday (May 23rd). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This aspect asks us to stretch past injuries and insecurities in our relationships, self-worth, and finances. If we can bring compassion and a different point of view to bear on these issues, we will reach a new understanding of ourselves and our life journey.</span>\r\n\r\nWe have the opportunity to learn from one another; ironically though, we may also feel insecure around others. Whenever Chiron is involved, we are being asked to do some healing work. As best as you can, use this time to learn about your sore spots. Nobody is perfect: we all have our flaws and idiosyncrasies. It\'s ok.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you get triggered by someone, as best as you can, take it as an opportunity to see where this trigger originated -- probably in your childhood. Bring love and compassion to yourself, as you are, and as you were (i.e. your \"wounded child\"). Allow <i>any</i> feelings this may stir up in you. A feeling is just energy that wants to be experienced, and honored; it wants to move through us and out.</span></p>\r\nThe more we resist our feelings, the more we keep them spinning in place. As best as you can, move from the head to the heart: What might change, if you showed 5% more compassion toward your inner wounded child? What if you just decided to take an active part in the healing process?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: 28-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i>0-5 degrees of </i><b><i>Cancer, Aries, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 10:06pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from early morning (May 20th) on, it will remain strong until Monday evening (May 21st). </strong><span class=\"s1\">We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward; we need to make a choice. We need to develop inner awareness, so we can make adjustments.</span>\r\n\r\nThis might concern compromising with others. Our enthusiasm might make us impatient or hasty with others. Our values may not be in alignment with those we work with. As best as you can, keep choosing the \"better\" alternative, adjusting as needed.\r\n\r\nWhen life slows down, or becomes uncomfortable, simplify and be patient. We are changing and growing in ways that we can\'t comprehend right now. Stay as open and observant as you can.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-3 degrees of</i><b><i> Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> (Venus rules Taurus and Libra; Mars rules Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening at 10:15pm EDT</strong>,the Sun changes signs from steady, sensual <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>to versatile, fast-thinking</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b>. It will journey through Gemini <b>until June 21st.</b> With the Sun in Gemini, the urge for self-expression is strong. We may be extra interested in collecting and sharing information. This is a time when curiosity and adaptability are favored. We are more flexible, changeable and adaptable -- which makes us quite social as well.\r\n\r\nWe enjoy intellectual conversations and we can easily become bored if we are not getting enough mental stimulation at this time. We are more objective and observant but prefer to keep things light and easy. There is usually a nervousness in the air at this time as well, as we are constantly seeking to connect and have new interactions. “Sharing” is the name of the game.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Gemini, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo, your vitality will most likely speed up and you feel more chatty than usual.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 11:30 pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 22.5 hours, <strong>until 10:03pm EDT </strong>(Monday late evening, May 21st). We are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we feel a strong need to have fun and be creative or self-expressed.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, we want to explore deep, authentic -- even intimate -- connections to ourselves or others. Do your best to use this intuitive time to make adjustments, slow things down a little, and find creative solutions that honor both drives.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday late evening and Monday all day ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>A heads-up for next Monday (May 21st)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a>, <strong>until 10:03pm EDT</strong>. <strong>Also on Monday at 11:49pm EDT</strong>, <em>the first Quarter Moon in 1 degree of <strong>Virgo</strong> becomes exact</em>; the Moon in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in chatty, versatile <strong>Gemini</strong>. More about the details in next week\'s forecast ;-)\r\n<h3>One More Announcement:</h3>\r\nJoin me for my next FORECASTING FORUM on <strong>Thursday, May 31st</strong> <strong>at</strong> 4pm PDT/ <strong>7pm EDT</strong>/Midnight BST (London-time).<strong> Please note</strong> that we will be talking about the <strong>Mars Station </strong>and<strong> Retrograde phase</strong> that begins in June.

Yahooooo! Bring it on! :-)\r\n\r\n<b>A quick announcement before we get started:</b><b>\r\n</b> Because it is <strong>my birthday this week</strong>, I wanted to give something of value, and I thought with all the changes that are coming, a <strong>30% discount</strong> on my 50-minute Coaching/Healing sessions would be a nice gift for everyone -- especially for those of you who are already doing monthly 25-minute Coaching/Healing sessions with me via the SuperStar Membership. I\'m running this special during my birthday week only :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>To take advantage of the special offer,</strong><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/coaching/\"> click here</a> and add one or more coaching sessions -- and when you get to your shopping cart, enter coupon code: <strong>BIRTHDAY_GIFT</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>PS:</strong> If you are holding back because you can\'t do a session this week, don\'t worry -- you can schedule it anytime between now and Nov. 2018 -- and if you want to stock up at this super-low price, go ahead and use the code on multiple sessions ;-) Looking forward to connecting and supporting you! May we all have a fantastic time adjusting to the new energies that are coming our way!\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: We have several planets changing signs this week -- Uranus (from Aries to Taurus, where it will journey for about 8 years), Mars (from Capricorn to Aquarius); Venus (from Gemini to Cancer) and last but not least, the Sun (from Taurus to Gemini).\r\n\r\nIn addition, the New Moon in Taurus becomes exact on Tuesday, and there will be four <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: Tuesday late afternoon (for almost 15 minutes), Thursday afternoon (3.5 hours), Saturday late afternoon (2 hours), and Sunday late evening (22.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (May 14th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Taurus</strong></em><strong> all day. </strong>We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.\r\n\r\nIn other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing until Tuesday late afternoon? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early morning: </strong>The best way to handle the first few hours of Monday (if you\'re awake) is to slow down a little and focus on what\'s sitting right in front of you, that needs to be taken care of, so you can get to the next phase of accomplishment.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late afternoon, </strong>we have an opportunity to...\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>ALREADY A MEMBER? Log into your ​Member\'s ​account and keep reading!</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong> NOT A MEMBER yet? GET IT ALL!

If there was a way to satisfy both desires at once, what would that look like? What does the bigger picture look like?<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday </strong>is also the <i>last day before the New Moon</i> becomes exact. This is a great day to let go of what no longer serves us. As best as you can, avoid jumping the gun: Rather than launching into brand-new endeavors or connections, wait until a couple of days has passed after the New Moon. Some of us might feel a little anxious or nervous today: As best as you can, get quiet and go within… Listen to the silence between the sounds… Find peace in the connection with your innermost and truest Self.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (15th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus</strong></em> <strong>until 4:43pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 7:48am EDT</strong>, the <i>New Moon in 24.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> becomes exact. This marks the beginning of a new Moon cycle. As best as you can, get really quiet, and see if you are getting any new messages or ideas. If you are, harvest them, and fold them into any intentions you set for the new Moon cycle -- I will talk about this process later in the forecast, and I’ll even give you the very best and most potent times for doing it :-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Click here to watch my video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\n<i>This New Moon in steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> places more focus on our interactions with the physical world -- you could say that we seek a healthier relationship with “matter\", one in which we are neither too attached, or too disconnected from our bodies, resources (such as money), and the planet we co-inhabit. We are powerfully reminded to take the time to honor the only planet we can currently live on — The Earth — we are called on to honor its resources and beauty.\r\n\r\nIn much the same spirit, we are invited also to honor ourselves, our bodies, our talents. This is a good time for reevaluating our relationship to money and possessions, and for discovering what truly makes us happy and fulfilled. Check in with yourself: What came to mind when you read this?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon trines Mars and Pluto in </i><b><i>Capricorn. </i></b>This combo promotes a realistic and responsible long-term approach. We have the chance to better align our goals with our values; it\'s easier for us to sustain what we have started, and bring a heightened sense of commitment to it all.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I am completely honest, what do I truly want for myself long-term? What really matters to me? If I felt the need to connect to something in a passionate way, what might that be? What truly fulfills me? And what modest step could I take today to move towards my goals?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus, </i>the ruler of Taurus, <i>moves through </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> at the time of the New Moon. This reminds us to learn and discuss Taurean issues: resources, appreciation of physical matter, natural beauty etc.\r\n\r\nThe spiritual quest of <b>Gemini</b>, on the other hand, concerns the development of perception, our powers of thought, and communication. As the creative power of the feminine, Venus in Gemini represents <i>the \"bringing together of opposites\" -- </i>people with different values, for example.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> When I picture this, what do I see? What might this look like in my various communities? How about within my relationships? Could exploring duality help me understand different points of views? Might curiosity be a vital tool in all of this? If so, what could I get curious about? What would 5% more flexibility do for my ability to relate to others?\r\n\r\nAnother thing worth mentioning: <i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>also</i> <i>makes a</i> <i>\"mutual reception\" to Mercury in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> <b><i>--</i></b> in other words, these planets are in each other\'s signs until May 19th; during that time, they \"mutually\" support each other\'s agenda. This gives us the opportunity to connect mind and heart.\r\n\r\nWe seek out mental stimulation: teaching, learning, writing, collecting and processing information, etc.... and we want to share the output in practical ways, applying it to the real world and ourselves, our values, and our physical experience of life.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, allow yourself to take your time processing things that you just started engaging with. In the meantime, stay open to learning, remain curious, and remember that every teacher is also a student and vice versa.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What if I listened to myself 5% more? What if I had 5% more faith that I\'d be heard? What might I discover about my thinking processes and my value? Is it possible my value doesn\'t need to be \"earned\"? What if, without my being alive, nothing else could be as it is?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus, in the last degree of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, makes a square to Mars in the last degree of </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b>at the time of the New Moon (more about this square when it becomes exact on Wednesday). As some of you already know, when a planet is the last degree of a sign, its energy is more exalted, as it knows that a shift is coming -- you could say that the rumbling of its vibration gets louder.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What am I waking to? Where do I need to assert myself? How might I do that while still keeping what I want to create long-term in view? What has been holding me back? What am I ready to address and change? What needs to happen so I can move forward in a mature fashion?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus moves into </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact (more on that below) -- starting its preview through this peace-loving, sensual sign until early November of this year -- I say \"preview\", because Uranus will return to <b>Taurus</b> in March 2019, for a 7 year-transit. These next 28 days will be ripe with shifts and changes, so stay centered in the here and now, expect the unexpected and allow yourself to make an inner shift -- as this paves the way for an outer shift. Flexibility is key!\r\n\r\nWe went over this upcoming shift in more detail in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how Uranus\'s journey through Taurus until 2026 impacts you personally, feel free to get the 120 min. long webinar on the subject; <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product-category/webinars/\">for more info or to purchase, click here </a>The fee for this is only $37, even though the webinar is 30 minutes longer than my usual webinars -- partly because we also cover Chiron\'s journey through Aries until 2027.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">You can also check out a brief excerpt of this webinar, here</a> Enjoy ;-) I also offer a <strong>Special Offer this month</strong>: sign up for Star or SuperStar Membership <strong>by May 31st</strong> (or upgrade from Universal to Star Membership via \"My Account\"), and get this webinar for FREE! If you are already a Star or SuperStar Member check your email for the link to this webinar -- it was emailed to you on April 30th ;-)\r\n\r\nThink back over the last 7 years (i.e. March 2011 - May 2018), while Uranus was in <b>Aries</b>, and <b>ask yourself: </b>Where did I make progress on my goals and desires? What structures needed to be renewed for me to break through and find a new or unique approach to who I\'m being? Do some of those structures actually need to break down? What self-realizations make me stand out and go after things in a more original way? How did this 7-year transit through Aries support my vision?\r\n\r\nIf you have a Birth chart, and know what to look for, look to see what Houses are connected to the <b>Aries</b> energy -- and if that sounds like I\'m talking a foreign language, feel free to watch my video: <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">How to Read Your Birth Chart</a> <i>or</i> <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">join our next Forecasting Forum</a> on <b>May 31st at 7pm EDT</b>, and ask me your questions there. We will cover the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that starts in June -- that will also be connected to Aries in your chart -- I will definitely explain this in great detail in the Forum ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> conjuncts Uranus in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> -- this alignment is exact on May 13th, in 29º of Aries, two days before the New Moon becomes exact<i>.</i><b><i> </i></b>This could bring some exciting possibilities, perhaps even a leap forward in the evolution of our consciousness, with flashes of insight into our own mental workings and some original thoughts coming through, etc.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, and as much as you want to (of course), stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What might a true breakthrough look like? What insights am I receiving? What is it I\'m learning about myself every day that might change my whole perspective?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury also makes a trine to Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>. With Saturn</i> being a part of the equation it is important for us to learn something new using a mature and realistic approach.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What concrete, practical plans could I make? Could I allow myself to take it one step at a time, staying grounded in the here and now? What does a truthful, realistic alignment with long-term goals look like to me?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> trines Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>at the time of the New Moon, bringing the potential for spiritual inspiration -- and it\'s a great time for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>How might more trust and empathy help my perception of intimate relationships? What might be possible for me if I allowed for things to unfold? What if I allowed myself to see the perfection in everything that I perceive right here, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> It is important to remember that we are part of nature, just like a tree, or an ocean -- our actions and interactions with the only home we have will change it, for good or ill. We are also developing an increasingly profound conscious awareness over the next 28 days that connects us to all that is alive.\r\n\r\nTo bring all this together,<b> ask yourself:</b> What baby steps could I take for the planet I co-inhabit? What would show my love and appreciation? What do I sense when I get very quiet and tune into my own energy field and the energy all around me? What really matters to my heart?\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <i>not</i> during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions </i>would be <b>between</b> <b>7:48am on Tuesday, May 15th and <strong>7:48am EDT Thursday morning (May 17th).</strong></b>\r\n\r\n<i>Note</i>, however, that there is a brief <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a><b> on Tuesday afternoon -- it runs from 4:30pm until 4:43pm EDT. </b><i>Don’t</i> set your intentions during those 13 minutes — instead, allow intuition to surface possible intentions while you wait. For more info on setting New Moon Intentions, <a href=\"http://goo.gl/jujnrD\">click here</a>\r\n\r\nIf you live in a timezone other than EDT (US East Coast-time), feel free to join my <a href=\"http://www.facebook.com/AstrologerCoach.SonjaFrancis\">Facebook Fan page</a> or follow me on <a href=\"http://www.twitter.com/sonjafrancis\">twitter</a>. I will be posting reminders on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday morning to let you know that it\'s the best time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nWhen setting intentions, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> What might shift if I focused 5% more on the beauty that already surrounds me?<i> </i>What might open up if I truly valued curiosity and open-mindedness? What if I learned to listen right past my conditioning and opinions? What if I took my time to respond? What might my heart want me to say? <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Again, feel free to also watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/IvgN28_yRKc\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 22-27 degrees of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>?

Use this intuitive time to take small steps on projects already underway -- or simply take a break and do a set of Sun Salutations or push-ups ;-)\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 4:43pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters chatty, versatile <strong>Gemini,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Thursday late afternoon/early evening. </strong>For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way…\r\n\r\nThe one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 16th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Gemini</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\nTuesday night/<strong>Wednesday very early morning at 12:55am EDT,</strong> <i>Mars changes signs from practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Capricorn</strong><i> to freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><strong><i>Aquarius</i>, </strong>where it<em> </em>will journey for an unusually long time, <strong>until August 12th. </strong>Due to the upcoming Mars retrograde phase that begins in the end of June, Mars will journey through<strong> Aquarius </strong>one more time,<strong> from Sept. 10th - Nov. 15th.</strong>\r\n\r\nI will be talking about the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that begins in June in my next Forecasting Forum. Mars will be stationing in Aquarius, and retrograding back into Capricorn. What does this mean for the current Healing journey of our masculine energies?\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how to align yourself with this planetary movement, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation.

How could you move that to the next level?\r\n\r\nDuring these times, when Mars travels through Aquarius, we enjoy surprising ourselves and others. The tried-and-true methods of getting things done are far too boring for us right now. We are looking for unique and original goals, and we tend to take a more original, forward-thinking view of the world now. What if, when you were least expecting it, you suddenly asked yourself \"How could I surprise the \"old me\" today?\" ;-)\r\n\r\nMental and intellectual pursuits are important to us now. The Aquarian ideal of equality is strong with this position, so we also place a lot of value in freedom and individuality -- our own <i>and</i> that of others. With Mars in this fixed sign, we will definitely need our independence, especially in personal relationships -- and we are not easily pushed around. It\'s best to give ourselves and others lots of space; if we feel boxed in, we may rebel or act contrary.\r\n\r\nIn general, we may feel a desire to push our agenda on others -- not in an aggressive way, though... more in a creative manner. As best as you can, bring a sense of openness to your approach to people and situations. Be aware of feeling superior to others: if you find yourself thinking that someone is less \"special\" than you, put your hand over your heart and ask \"what would my heart say to this?\"\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more detached, forward-thinking and freedom-loving. You may want to change things in your life that have outlived their use. If you are an </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 12.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mars/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:04am EDT. This is the first Mars/Uranus Square of the year in the fixed signs (Aquarius/Taurus). <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last week Monday (May 7th), it will remain strong until next week Friday (May 25th). </strong>This aspect asks us to get in touch with our desires and break away from anything that is holding us back. Passions and anger that we may not even know we had may emerge at this time.\r\n\r\nUranus urges us to let go of the past and focus on a better future. We may feel restless and impatient; we can be very demanding and difficult to please. We tend to feel like progress is too slow and we are tired of waiting. This could be an explosive time, as our inner rebel issues emotional challenges, while outer \"reality\" demands we change course.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, if you are the kind of person that doesn\'t go in for asserting themselves, this is an excellent time to try it out ;-) Do your best not to burn all your bridges, especially with any males in your family or in your various communities. We may also experience an awakening of sorts in regards to our sexuality.\r\n\r\nAccidents are unusually likely (though not inevitable), especially if our levels of activity and energy are erratic; to prevent this, stay as grounded as possible and keep breathing! Flexibility and open-mindedness are always helpful but are especially important now. Notice when you are digging your heels in about something, this is usually a sign that you have some underlying anxiety about something else; again, take a deep breath, get centered in your body, close your eyes and focus on your third eye.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What am I afraid of happening? How might I channel this restless energy into projects that are asking for progress? How might I channel, or just burn off, all this erratic energy? What kind of exercise might be an energetic match? Where am I stagnating? Where am I able to take innovative action?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or personal planets in </i><i>27-29 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn,</i></b><i> or 0-</i><i>3 </i><i>degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>?

Use this intuitive time to connect with others and share yourself in whatever way, shape, or form feels right to you in the moment: spoken or written word, phone, email, IM, letter, etc.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday afternoon until early evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 5:47pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Saturday evening</strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it -- otherwise, you risk becoming drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (May 18th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday late afternoon/early evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday early afternoon</strong>, <em>a harmonious Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:49pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening (May 16th) on, it will remain strong until Sunday (May 20th). </strong>It will help to interact with integrity and commitment. We can set aside unrealistic views and make concrete, practical plans, that help us explore our long-term goals.  <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe “get to the point” with no wasted time or words. Seeking a larger understanding, we speak our truth but temper it with adult caution and moderation. The reality of our beliefs gets clearer and our thought processes are more realistic. It is important for us to learn something new, with a mature attitude.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>5-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? Or perhaps you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn?</i></b><i> If so, you will likely be more blessed by this aspect.</i>\r\n\r\nAlso on<strong> Friday late afternoon, </strong>it\'s <i>time to take actions on our New Moon intentions</i>: if you set Intentions Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning -- after the New Moon became exact --<strong> today (from late afternoon on) </strong>and<strong> tomorrow (Saturday) <strong>before 5:14pm </strong></strong>and<strong><strong> after 7:11pm EDT, </strong></strong>will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (May 19th)</strong>:<em> the Moon remains in protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer</strong></em> <strong>until 7:11pm EDT</strong> (see Thursday early evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday morning at 9:11am EDT</strong>, <i style=\"font-style: italic;\">Venus changes signs from chatty, versatile &amp; curious</i><i> </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Gemini</strong><i style=\"font-style: italic;\"> to protective, nurturing </i><strong><i>Cancer, </i></strong>where she will journey <strong>until June 13th; </strong> for those 4 weeks, we value family, loved ones, our home, emotional safety -- and real-estate dealings.\r\n\r\nWe prefer to be around safe, familiar people and places. We\'d rather stay home than socialize; if we do go out, we much prefer dinner parties at someone\'s home to dining out. When it comes to love, be gentle with each other -- and make sure to talk about your feelings.\r\n\r\nWith regards to our finances, it\'s best to stick to what feels safest and most secure. It\'s a favorable time for real-estate and interior design, or anything that makes the home more comfortable and livable.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel more shy for the next 4 weeks. Your heart will want to connect with family and loved ones. If you are a</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to have more love and beauty in your life, for as long as Venus is in your sign ;-)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:30pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening (May 17th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Monday morning (May 21st). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This gives us the opportunity to experiment with how we relate to others -- to do something different or unusual -- freedom plays a big part in this aspect.</span>\r\n\r\nOf course, others are experimenting too, so you might experience some unusual or unexpected interactions during this time -- it\'s a favorable time for social meetings and events. As best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through your relationships.\r\n\r\nWe\'re also ready to experiment with our financial undertakings -- good places to look: all things \"tech\" (electronics, technology, internet); metaphysics; the arts; group activities. This is not the best time to make long-term financial investments not suggested in an intuitive flash ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 28-29 degrees of <strong>Gemini</strong></i><b><i>, Aries, Leo, </i></b><b><i>Aquarius, </i></b><i>or 0-2 degrees of <strong>Cancer, Taurus, Pisces, </strong>or<strong> Virgo</strong></i><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, Uranus rules Aquarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 5:14pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 2 hours, <strong>until 7:11pm EDT</strong>. This intuitive time is an opportunity to connect with family around shared values -- and perhaps also to take a look at your household finances...\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday late afternoon and evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 7:11pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Monday late evening</strong>. <span class=\"s1\">We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)</span>\r\n\r\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are also a big part of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.\r\n\r\nIf there are no children around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\nAgain, today<strong> (Saturday),  </strong>it\'s <i>time to take actions on our New Moon intentions</i>: if you set Intentions Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning -- after the New Moon became exact -- today <strong>before 5:14pm </strong>and<strong> after 7:11pm EDT, </strong>will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 20th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Saturday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning</strong>, <em>an opportune Mars/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:55am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Monday (May 14th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Friday (May 25th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This is an opportunity to accept the validity of our anger and desire so that we can learn to express these energies naturally and confidently.</span>\r\n\r\nThis could also inspire us to make resolutions and take actions towards healing our emotional and spiritual wounds. Remember: this is an \"opportunity\" -- those aren\'t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in the following: 29 degrees of <b>Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus, Scorpio, </b>or<b> </b>0-4 degrees of</i><b><i> Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, </i><span class=\"s1\"><i>you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Aries </i></b><i>(Mars rules Aries)</i></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late afternoon</strong>, <em>a challenging Venus/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:24pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday night (May 17th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Wednesday (May 23rd). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This aspect asks us to stretch past injuries and insecurities in our relationships, self-worth, and finances. If we can bring compassion and a different point of view to bear on these issues, we will reach a new understanding of ourselves and our life journey.</span>\r\n\r\nWe have the opportunity to learn from one another; ironically though, we may also feel insecure around others. Whenever Chiron is involved, we are being asked to do some healing work. As best as you can, use this time to learn about your sore spots. Nobody is perfect: we all have our flaws and idiosyncrasies. It\'s ok.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you get triggered by someone, as best as you can, take it as an opportunity to see where this trigger originated -- probably in your childhood. Bring love and compassion to yourself, as you are, and as you were (i.e. your \"wounded child\"). Allow <i>any</i> feelings this may stir up in you. A feeling is just energy that wants to be experienced, and honored; it wants to move through us and out.</span></p>\r\nThe more we resist our feelings, the more we keep them spinning in place. As best as you can, move from the head to the heart: What might change, if you showed 5% more compassion toward your inner wounded child? What if you just decided to take an active part in the healing process?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: 28-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i>0-5 degrees of </i><b><i>Cancer, Aries, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 10:06pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from early morning (May 20th) on, it will remain strong until Monday evening (May 21st). </strong><span class=\"s1\">We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward; we need to make a choice. We need to develop inner awareness, so we can make adjustments.</span>\r\n\r\nThis might concern compromising with others. Our enthusiasm might make us impatient or hasty with others. Our values may not be in alignment with those we work with. As best as you can, keep choosing the \"better\" alternative, adjusting as needed.\r\n\r\nWhen life slows down, or becomes uncomfortable, simplify and be patient. We are changing and growing in ways that we can\'t comprehend right now. Stay as open and observant as you can.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-3 degrees of</i><b><i> Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> (Venus rules Taurus and Libra; Mars rules Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening at 10:15pm EDT</strong>,the Sun changes signs from steady, sensual <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>to versatile, fast-thinking</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b>. It will journey through Gemini <b>until June 21st.</b> With the Sun in Gemini, the urge for self-expression is strong. We may be extra interested in collecting and sharing information. This is a time when curiosity and adaptability are favored. We are more flexible, changeable and adaptable -- which makes us quite social as well.\r\n\r\nWe enjoy intellectual conversations and we can easily become bored if we are not getting enough mental stimulation at this time. We are more objective and observant but prefer to keep things light and easy. There is usually a nervousness in the air at this time as well, as we are constantly seeking to connect and have new interactions. “Sharing” is the name of the game.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Gemini, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo, your vitality will most likely speed up and you feel more chatty than usual.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 11:30 pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 22.5 hours, <strong>until 10:03pm EDT </strong>(Monday late evening, May 21st). We are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we feel a strong need to have fun and be creative or self-expressed.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, we want to explore deep, authentic -- even intimate -- connections to ourselves or others. Do your best to use this intuitive time to make adjustments, slow things down a little, and find creative solutions that honor both drives.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday late evening and Monday all day ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>A heads-up for next Monday (May 21st)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a>, <strong>until 10:03pm EDT</strong>. <strong>Also on Monday at 11:49pm EDT</strong>, <em>the first Quarter Moon in 1 degree of <strong>Virgo</strong> becomes exact</em>; the Moon in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in chatty, versatile <strong>Gemini</strong>.

I\'m running this special during my birthday week only :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>To take advantage of the special offer,</strong><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/coaching/\"> click here</a> and add one or more coaching sessions -- and when you get to your shopping cart, enter coupon code: <strong>BIRTHDAY_GIFT</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>PS:</strong> If you are holding back because you can\'t do a session this week, don\'t worry -- you can schedule it anytime between now and Nov. 2018 -- and if you want to stock up at this super-low price, go ahead and use the code on multiple sessions ;-) Looking forward to connecting and supporting you! May we all have a fantastic time adjusting to the new energies that are coming our way!\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: We have several planets changing signs this week -- Uranus (from Aries to Taurus, where it will journey for about 8 years), Mars (from Capricorn to Aquarius); Venus (from Gemini to Cancer) and last but not least, the Sun (from Taurus to Gemini).\r\n\r\nIn addition, the New Moon in Taurus becomes exact on Tuesday, and there will be four <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: Tuesday late afternoon (for almost 15 minutes), Thursday afternoon (3.5 hours), Saturday late afternoon (2 hours), and Sunday late evening (22.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (May 14th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Taurus</strong></em><strong> all day. </strong>We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.\r\n\r\nIn other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing until Tuesday late afternoon? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early morning: </strong>The best way to handle the first few hours of Monday (if you\'re awake) is to slow down a little and focus on what\'s sitting right in front of you, that needs to be taken care of, so you can get to the next phase of accomplishment.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late afternoon, </strong>we have an opportunity to...\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>ALREADY A MEMBER? Log into your ​Member\'s ​account and keep reading!</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong> NOT A MEMBER yet? GET IT ALL!

If there was a way to satisfy both desires at once, what would that look like? What does the bigger picture look like?<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday </strong>is also the <i>last day before the New Moon</i> becomes exact. This is a great day to let go of what no longer serves us. As best as you can, avoid jumping the gun: Rather than launching into brand-new endeavors or connections, wait until a couple of days has passed after the New Moon. Some of us might feel a little anxious or nervous today: As best as you can, get quiet and go within… Listen to the silence between the sounds… Find peace in the connection with your innermost and truest Self.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (15th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus</strong></em> <strong>until 4:43pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 7:48am EDT</strong>, the <i>New Moon in 24.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> becomes exact. This marks the beginning of a new Moon cycle. As best as you can, get really quiet, and see if you are getting any new messages or ideas. If you are, harvest them, and fold them into any intentions you set for the new Moon cycle -- I will talk about this process later in the forecast, and I’ll even give you the very best and most potent times for doing it :-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Click here to watch my video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\n<i>This New Moon in steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> places more focus on our interactions with the physical world -- you could say that we seek a healthier relationship with “matter\", one in which we are neither too attached, or too disconnected from our bodies, resources (such as money), and the planet we co-inhabit. We are powerfully reminded to take the time to honor the only planet we can currently live on — The Earth — we are called on to honor its resources and beauty.\r\n\r\nIn much the same spirit, we are invited also to honor ourselves, our bodies, our talents. This is a good time for reevaluating our relationship to money and possessions, and for discovering what truly makes us happy and fulfilled. Check in with yourself: What came to mind when you read this?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon trines Mars and Pluto in </i><b><i>Capricorn. </i></b>This combo promotes a realistic and responsible long-term approach. We have the chance to better align our goals with our values; it\'s easier for us to sustain what we have started, and bring a heightened sense of commitment to it all.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I am completely honest, what do I truly want for myself long-term? What really matters to me? If I felt the need to connect to something in a passionate way, what might that be? What truly fulfills me? And what modest step could I take today to move towards my goals?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus, </i>the ruler of Taurus, <i>moves through </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> at the time of the New Moon. This reminds us to learn and discuss Taurean issues: resources, appreciation of physical matter, natural beauty etc.\r\n\r\nThe spiritual quest of <b>Gemini</b>, on the other hand, concerns the development of perception, our powers of thought, and communication. As the creative power of the feminine, Venus in Gemini represents <i>the \"bringing together of opposites\" -- </i>people with different values, for example.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> When I picture this, what do I see? What might this look like in my various communities? How about within my relationships? Could exploring duality help me understand different points of views? Might curiosity be a vital tool in all of this? If so, what could I get curious about? What would 5% more flexibility do for my ability to relate to others?\r\n\r\nAnother thing worth mentioning: <i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>also</i> <i>makes a</i> <i>\"mutual reception\" to Mercury in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> <b><i>--</i></b> in other words, these planets are in each other\'s signs until May 19th; during that time, they \"mutually\" support each other\'s agenda. This gives us the opportunity to connect mind and heart.\r\n\r\nWe seek out mental stimulation: teaching, learning, writing, collecting and processing information, etc.... and we want to share the output in practical ways, applying it to the real world and ourselves, our values, and our physical experience of life.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, allow yourself to take your time processing things that you just started engaging with. In the meantime, stay open to learning, remain curious, and remember that every teacher is also a student and vice versa.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What if I listened to myself 5% more? What if I had 5% more faith that I\'d be heard? What might I discover about my thinking processes and my value? Is it possible my value doesn\'t need to be \"earned\"? What if, without my being alive, nothing else could be as it is?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus, in the last degree of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, makes a square to Mars in the last degree of </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b>at the time of the New Moon (more about this square when it becomes exact on Wednesday). As some of you already know, when a planet is the last degree of a sign, its energy is more exalted, as it knows that a shift is coming -- you could say that the rumbling of its vibration gets louder.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What am I waking to? Where do I need to assert myself? How might I do that while still keeping what I want to create long-term in view? What has been holding me back? What am I ready to address and change? What needs to happen so I can move forward in a mature fashion?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus moves into </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact (more on that below) -- starting its preview through this peace-loving, sensual sign until early November of this year -- I say \"preview\", because Uranus will return to <b>Taurus</b> in March 2019, for a 7 year-transit. These next 28 days will be ripe with shifts and changes, so stay centered in the here and now, expect the unexpected and allow yourself to make an inner shift -- as this paves the way for an outer shift. Flexibility is key!\r\n\r\nWe went over this upcoming shift in more detail in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how Uranus\'s journey through Taurus until 2026 impacts you personally, feel free to get the 120 min. long webinar on the subject; <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product-category/webinars/\">for more info or to purchase, click here </a>The fee for this is only $37, even though the webinar is 30 minutes longer than my usual webinars -- partly because we also cover Chiron\'s journey through Aries until 2027.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">You can also check out a brief excerpt of this webinar, here</a> Enjoy ;-) I also offer a <strong>Special Offer this month</strong>: sign up for Star or SuperStar Membership <strong>by May 31st</strong> (or upgrade from Universal to Star Membership via \"My Account\"), and get this webinar for FREE! If you are already a Star or SuperStar Member check your email for the link to this webinar -- it was emailed to you on April 30th ;-)\r\n\r\nThink back over the last 7 years (i.e. March 2011 - May 2018), while Uranus was in <b>Aries</b>, and <b>ask yourself: </b>Where did I make progress on my goals and desires? What structures needed to be renewed for me to break through and find a new or unique approach to who I\'m being? Do some of those structures actually need to break down? What self-realizations make me stand out and go after things in a more original way? How did this 7-year transit through Aries support my vision?\r\n\r\nIf you have a Birth chart, and know what to look for, look to see what Houses are connected to the <b>Aries</b> energy -- and if that sounds like I\'m talking a foreign language, feel free to watch my video: <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">How to Read Your Birth Chart</a> <i>or</i> <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">join our next Forecasting Forum</a> on <b>May 31st at 7pm EDT</b>, and ask me your questions there. We will cover the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that starts in June -- that will also be connected to Aries in your chart -- I will definitely explain this in great detail in the Forum ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> conjuncts Uranus in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> -- this alignment is exact on May 13th, in 29º of Aries, two days before the New Moon becomes exact<i>.</i><b><i> </i></b>This could bring some exciting possibilities, perhaps even a leap forward in the evolution of our consciousness, with flashes of insight into our own mental workings and some original thoughts coming through, etc.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, and as much as you want to (of course), stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What might a true breakthrough look like? What insights am I receiving? What is it I\'m learning about myself every day that might change my whole perspective?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury also makes a trine to Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>. With Saturn</i> being a part of the equation it is important for us to learn something new using a mature and realistic approach.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What concrete, practical plans could I make? Could I allow myself to take it one step at a time, staying grounded in the here and now? What does a truthful, realistic alignment with long-term goals look like to me?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> trines Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>at the time of the New Moon, bringing the potential for spiritual inspiration -- and it\'s a great time for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>How might more trust and empathy help my perception of intimate relationships? What might be possible for me if I allowed for things to unfold? What if I allowed myself to see the perfection in everything that I perceive right here, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> It is important to remember that we are part of nature, just like a tree, or an ocean -- our actions and interactions with the only home we have will change it, for good or ill. We are also developing an increasingly profound conscious awareness over the next 28 days that connects us to all that is alive.\r\n\r\nTo bring all this together,<b> ask yourself:</b> What baby steps could I take for the planet I co-inhabit? What would show my love and appreciation? What do I sense when I get very quiet and tune into my own energy field and the energy all around me? What really matters to my heart?\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <i>not</i> during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions </i>would be <b>between</b> <b>7:48am on Tuesday, May 15th and <strong>7:48am EDT Thursday morning (May 17th).</strong></b>\r\n\r\n<i>Note</i>, however, that there is a brief <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a><b> on Tuesday afternoon -- it runs from 4:30pm until 4:43pm EDT. </b><i>Don’t</i> set your intentions during those 13 minutes — instead, allow intuition to surface possible intentions while you wait.

I will be posting reminders on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday morning to let you know that it\'s the best time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nWhen setting intentions, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> What might shift if I focused 5% more on the beauty that already surrounds me?<i> </i>What might open up if I truly valued curiosity and open-mindedness? What if I learned to listen right past my conditioning and opinions? What if I took my time to respond? What might my heart want me to say? <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Again, feel free to also watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/IvgN28_yRKc\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 22-27 degrees of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>On Tuesday late morning, at 11:16am EDT</strong>,<em> Uranus changes signs from pioneering, fast-paced <strong>Aries</strong> to steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until November 6th.</strong>.\r\n\r\nThis is actually a \"preview\" of Uranus\'s coming 8-year transit through Taurus. I\'ll be posting a members-only essay on this major shift, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/uranus-in-taurus…actical-progress/ ‎\">click here to read it.</a>\r\n\r\n<i>Those of us who have their Ascendent (or personal planets) in 0-2.5 degrees of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aquarius</i></b> <i>will feel the impact of this first pass into Taurus  more than others. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> (Uranus is the ruler of Aquarius). Also: Uranus was  also in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> 8 3 years ago. If you were born 1935-1942, you will have a Uranus Return within the next 8 years.</i>  A new cycle begins in your individual journey towards creative Soul-Expression.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 4:30pm EDT</strong>, we enter a brief <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 13 minutes, <strong>until 4:43pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to take small steps on projects already underway -- or simply take a break and do a set of Sun Salutations or push-ups ;-)\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 4:43pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters chatty, versatile <strong>Gemini,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Thursday late afternoon/early evening. </strong>For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way…\r\n\r\nThe one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 16th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Gemini</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\nTuesday night/<strong>Wednesday very early morning at 12:55am EDT,</strong> <i>Mars changes signs from practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Capricorn</strong><i> to freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><strong><i>Aquarius</i>, </strong>where it<em> </em>will journey for an unusually long time, <strong>until August 12th. </strong>Due to the upcoming Mars retrograde phase that begins in the end of June, Mars will journey through<strong> Aquarius </strong>one more time,<strong> from Sept. 10th - Nov. 15th.</strong>\r\n\r\nI will be talking about the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that begins in June in my next Forecasting Forum. Mars will be stationing in Aquarius, and retrograding back into Capricorn. What does this mean for the current Healing journey of our masculine energies?\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how to align yourself with this planetary movement, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation.

How could you move that to the next level?\r\n\r\nDuring these times, when Mars travels through Aquarius, we enjoy surprising ourselves and others. The tried-and-true methods of getting things done are far too boring for us right now. We are looking for unique and original goals, and we tend to take a more original, forward-thinking view of the world now. What if, when you were least expecting it, you suddenly asked yourself \"How could I surprise the \"old me\" today?\" ;-)\r\n\r\nMental and intellectual pursuits are important to us now. The Aquarian ideal of equality is strong with this position, so we also place a lot of value in freedom and individuality -- our own <i>and</i> that of others. With Mars in this fixed sign, we will definitely need our independence, especially in personal relationships -- and we are not easily pushed around. It\'s best to give ourselves and others lots of space; if we feel boxed in, we may rebel or act contrary.\r\n\r\nIn general, we may feel a desire to push our agenda on others -- not in an aggressive way, though... more in a creative manner. As best as you can, bring a sense of openness to your approach to people and situations. Be aware of feeling superior to others: if you find yourself thinking that someone is less \"special\" than you, put your hand over your heart and ask \"what would my heart say to this?\"\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more detached, forward-thinking and freedom-loving. You may want to change things in your life that have outlived their use. If you are an </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 12.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mars/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:04am EDT. This is the first Mars/Uranus Square of the year in the fixed signs (Aquarius/Taurus). <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last week Monday (May 7th), it will remain strong until next week Friday (May 25th). </strong>This aspect asks us to get in touch with our desires and break away from anything that is holding us back. Passions and anger that we may not even know we had may emerge at this time.\r\n\r\nUranus urges us to let go of the past and focus on a better future. We may feel restless and impatient; we can be very demanding and difficult to please. We tend to feel like progress is too slow and we are tired of waiting. This could be an explosive time, as our inner rebel issues emotional challenges, while outer \"reality\" demands we change course.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, if you are the kind of person that doesn\'t go in for asserting themselves, this is an excellent time to try it out ;-) Do your best not to burn all your bridges, especially with any males in your family or in your various communities. We may also experience an awakening of sorts in regards to our sexuality.\r\n\r\nAccidents are unusually likely (though not inevitable), especially if our levels of activity and energy are erratic; to prevent this, stay as grounded as possible and keep breathing! Flexibility and open-mindedness are always helpful but are especially important now. Notice when you are digging your heels in about something, this is usually a sign that you have some underlying anxiety about something else; again, take a deep breath, get centered in your body, close your eyes and focus on your third eye.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What am I afraid of happening? How might I channel this restless energy into projects that are asking for progress? How might I channel, or just burn off, all this erratic energy? What kind of exercise might be an energetic match? Where am I stagnating? Where am I able to take innovative action?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or personal planets in </i><i>27-29 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn,</i></b><i> or 0-</i><i>3 </i><i>degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>?

You may also want to plan Thursday afternoon until early evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 5:47pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Saturday evening</strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it -- otherwise, you risk becoming drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday late evening, around 10:40pm EDT, </strong><em>the Sun in <strong>Taurus</strong> squares the Solar Eclipse degree</em> from Feb. 15th (27 degrees of <strong>Aquarius</strong>).\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Observe how this plays out for you: Where are you looking to make progress? What needs to change?

We can set aside unrealistic views and make concrete, practical plans, that help us explore our long-term goals.  <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe “get to the point” with no wasted time or words. Seeking a larger understanding, we speak our truth but temper it with adult caution and moderation. The reality of our beliefs gets clearer and our thought processes are more realistic. It is important for us to learn something new, with a mature attitude.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>5-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? Or perhaps you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn?</i></b><i> If so, you will likely be more blessed by this aspect.</i>\r\n\r\nAlso on<strong> Friday late afternoon, </strong>it\'s <i>time to take actions on our New Moon intentions</i>: if you set Intentions Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning -- after the New Moon became exact --<strong> today (from late afternoon on) </strong>and<strong> tomorrow (Saturday) <strong>before 5:14pm </strong></strong>and<strong><strong> after 7:11pm EDT, </strong></strong>will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (May 19th)</strong>:<em> the Moon remains in protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer</strong></em> <strong>until 7:11pm EDT</strong> (see Thursday early evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday morning at 9:11am EDT</strong>, <i style=\"font-style: italic;\">Venus changes signs from chatty, versatile &amp; curious</i><i> </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Gemini</strong><i style=\"font-style: italic;\"> to protective, nurturing </i><strong><i>Cancer, </i></strong>where she will journey <strong>until June 13th; </strong> for those 4 weeks, we value family, loved ones, our home, emotional safety -- and real-estate dealings.\r\n\r\nWe prefer to be around safe, familiar people and places. We\'d rather stay home than socialize; if we do go out, we much prefer dinner parties at someone\'s home to dining out. When it comes to love, be gentle with each other -- and make sure to talk about your feelings.\r\n\r\nWith regards to our finances, it\'s best to stick to what feels safest and most secure. It\'s a favorable time for real-estate and interior design, or anything that makes the home more comfortable and livable.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel more shy for the next 4 weeks. Your heart will want to connect with family and loved ones. If you are a</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to have more love and beauty in your life, for as long as Venus is in your sign ;-)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:30pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening (May 17th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Monday morning (May 21st). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This gives us the opportunity to experiment with how we relate to others -- to do something different or unusual -- freedom plays a big part in this aspect.</span>\r\n\r\nOf course, others are experimenting too, so you might experience some unusual or unexpected interactions during this time -- it\'s a favorable time for social meetings and events. As best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through your relationships.\r\n\r\nWe\'re also ready to experiment with our financial undertakings -- good places to look: all things \"tech\" (electronics, technology, internet); metaphysics; the arts; group activities. This is not the best time to make long-term financial investments not suggested in an intuitive flash ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 28-29 degrees of <strong>Gemini</strong></i><b><i>, Aries, Leo, </i></b><b><i>Aquarius, </i></b><i>or 0-2 degrees of <strong>Cancer, Taurus, Pisces, </strong>or<strong> Virgo</strong></i><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, Uranus rules Aquarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 5:14pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 2 hours, <strong>until 7:11pm EDT</strong>. This intuitive time is an opportunity to connect with family around shared values -- and perhaps also to take a look at your household finances...\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday late afternoon and evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 7:11pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Monday late evening</strong>. <span class=\"s1\">We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)</span>\r\n\r\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are also a big part of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.\r\n\r\nIf there are no children around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\nAgain, today<strong> (Saturday),  </strong>it\'s <i>time to take actions on our New Moon intentions</i>: if you set Intentions Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning -- after the New Moon became exact -- today <strong>before 5:14pm </strong>and<strong> after 7:11pm EDT, </strong>will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 20th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Saturday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning</strong>, <em>an opportune Mars/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:55am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Monday (May 14th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Friday (May 25th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This is an opportunity to accept the validity of our anger and desire so that we can learn to express these energies naturally and confidently.</span>\r\n\r\nThis could also inspire us to make resolutions and take actions towards healing our emotional and spiritual wounds. Remember: this is an \"opportunity\" -- those aren\'t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in the following: 29 degrees of <b>Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus, Scorpio, </b>or<b> </b>0-4 degrees of</i><b><i> Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, </i><span class=\"s1\"><i>you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Aries </i></b><i>(Mars rules Aries)</i></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late afternoon</strong>, <em>a challenging Venus/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:24pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday night (May 17th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Wednesday (May 23rd). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This aspect asks us to stretch past injuries and insecurities in our relationships, self-worth, and finances. If we can bring compassion and a different point of view to bear on these issues, we will reach a new understanding of ourselves and our life journey.</span>\r\n\r\nWe have the opportunity to learn from one another; ironically though, we may also feel insecure around others. Whenever Chiron is involved, we are being asked to do some healing work. As best as you can, use this time to learn about your sore spots. Nobody is perfect: we all have our flaws and idiosyncrasies. It\'s ok.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you get triggered by someone, as best as you can, take it as an opportunity to see where this trigger originated -- probably in your childhood. Bring love and compassion to yourself, as you are, and as you were (i.e. your \"wounded child\"). Allow <i>any</i> feelings this may stir up in you. A feeling is just energy that wants to be experienced, and honored; it wants to move through us and out.</span></p>\r\nThe more we resist our feelings, the more we keep them spinning in place. As best as you can, move from the head to the heart: What might change, if you showed 5% more compassion toward your inner wounded child? What if you just decided to take an active part in the healing process?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: 28-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i>0-5 degrees of </i><b><i>Cancer, Aries, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 10:06pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from early morning (May 20th) on, it will remain strong until Monday evening (May 21st). </strong><span class=\"s1\">We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward; we need to make a choice. We need to develop inner awareness, so we can make adjustments.</span>\r\n\r\nThis might concern compromising with others. Our enthusiasm might make us impatient or hasty with others. Our values may not be in alignment with those we work with. As best as you can, keep choosing the \"better\" alternative, adjusting as needed.\r\n\r\nWhen life slows down, or becomes uncomfortable, simplify and be patient. We are changing and growing in ways that we can\'t comprehend right now. Stay as open and observant as you can.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-3 degrees of</i><b><i> Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> (Venus rules Taurus and Libra; Mars rules Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening at 10:15pm EDT</strong>,the Sun changes signs from steady, sensual <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>to versatile, fast-thinking</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b>. It will journey through Gemini <b>until June 21st.</b> With the Sun in Gemini, the urge for self-expression is strong. We may be extra interested in collecting and sharing information. This is a time when curiosity and adaptability are favored. We are more flexible, changeable and adaptable -- which makes us quite social as well.\r\n\r\nWe enjoy intellectual conversations and we can easily become bored if we are not getting enough mental stimulation at this time. We are more objective and observant but prefer to keep things light and easy. There is usually a nervousness in the air at this time as well, as we are constantly seeking to connect and have new interactions. “Sharing” is the name of the game.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Gemini, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo, your vitality will most likely speed up and you feel more chatty than usual.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 11:30 pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 22.5 hours, <strong>until 10:03pm EDT </strong>(Monday late evening, May 21st). We are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we feel a strong need to have fun and be creative or self-expressed.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, we want to explore deep, authentic -- even intimate -- connections to ourselves or others. Do your best to use this intuitive time to make adjustments, slow things down a little, and find creative solutions that honor both drives.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday late evening and Monday all day ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>A heads-up for next Monday (May 21st)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a>, <strong>until 10:03pm EDT</strong>. <strong>Also on Monday at 11:49pm EDT</strong>, <em>the first Quarter Moon in 1 degree of <strong>Virgo</strong> becomes exact</em>; the Moon in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in chatty, versatile <strong>Gemini</strong>. More about the details in next week\'s forecast ;-)\r\n<h3>One More Announcement:</h3>\r\nJoin me for my next FORECASTING FORUM on <strong>Thursday, May 31st</strong> <strong>at</strong> 4pm PDT/ <strong>7pm EDT</strong>/Midnight BST (London-time).<strong> Please note</strong> that we will be talking about the <strong>Mars Station </strong>and<strong> Retrograde phase</strong> that begins in June.

Yahooooo! Bring it on! :-)\r\n\r\n<b>A quick announcement before we get started:</b><b>\r\n</b> Because it is <strong>my birthday this week</strong>, I wanted to give something of value, and I thought with all the changes that are coming, a <strong>30% discount</strong> on my 50-minute Coaching/Healing sessions would be a nice gift for everyone -- especially for those of you who are already doing monthly 25-minute Coaching/Healing sessions with me via the SuperStar Membership. I\'m running this special during my birthday week only :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>To take advantage of the special offer,</strong><a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/coaching/\"> click here</a> and add one or more coaching sessions -- and when you get to your shopping cart, enter coupon code: <strong>BIRTHDAY_GIFT</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>PS:</strong> If you are holding back because you can\'t do a session this week, don\'t worry -- you can schedule it anytime between now and Nov. 2018 -- and if you want to stock up at this super-low price, go ahead and use the code on multiple sessions ;-) Looking forward to connecting and supporting you! May we all have a fantastic time adjusting to the new energies that are coming our way!\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: We have several planets changing signs this week -- Uranus (from Aries to Taurus, where it will journey for about 8 years), Mars (from Capricorn to Aquarius); Venus (from Gemini to Cancer) and last but not least, the Sun (from Taurus to Gemini).\r\n\r\nIn addition, the New Moon in Taurus becomes exact on Tuesday, and there will be four <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: Tuesday late afternoon (for almost 15 minutes), Thursday afternoon (3.5 hours), Saturday late afternoon (2 hours), and Sunday late evening (22.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (May 14th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Taurus</strong></em><strong> all day. </strong>We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.\r\n\r\nIn other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain. What is our favorite thing until Tuesday late afternoon? It\'s probably, slowing down and getting in touch with whatever delights our senses ;-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early morning: </strong>The best way to handle the first few hours of Monday (if you\'re awake) is to slow down a little and focus on what\'s sitting right in front of you, that needs to be taken care of, so you can get to the next phase of accomplishment.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday late afternoon, </strong>we have an opportunity to...\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>ALREADY A MEMBER? Log into your ​Member\'s ​account and keep reading!</strong></p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong> NOT A MEMBER yet? GET IT ALL!

If there was a way to satisfy both desires at once, what would that look like? What does the bigger picture look like?<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday </strong>is also the <i>last day before the New Moon</i> becomes exact. This is a great day to let go of what no longer serves us. As best as you can, avoid jumping the gun: Rather than launching into brand-new endeavors or connections, wait until a couple of days has passed after the New Moon. Some of us might feel a little anxious or nervous today: As best as you can, get quiet and go within… Listen to the silence between the sounds… Find peace in the connection with your innermost and truest Self.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (15th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus</strong></em> <strong>until 4:43pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 7:48am EDT</strong>, the <i>New Moon in 24.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> becomes exact. This marks the beginning of a new Moon cycle. As best as you can, get really quiet, and see if you are getting any new messages or ideas. If you are, harvest them, and fold them into any intentions you set for the new Moon cycle -- I will talk about this process later in the forecast, and I’ll even give you the very best and most potent times for doing it :-) <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Click here to watch my video on the subject</a>\r\n\r\n<i>This New Moon in steady, peaceful</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> places more focus on our interactions with the physical world -- you could say that we seek a healthier relationship with “matter\", one in which we are neither too attached, or too disconnected from our bodies, resources (such as money), and the planet we co-inhabit. We are powerfully reminded to take the time to honor the only planet we can currently live on — The Earth — we are called on to honor its resources and beauty.\r\n\r\nIn much the same spirit, we are invited also to honor ourselves, our bodies, our talents. This is a good time for reevaluating our relationship to money and possessions, and for discovering what truly makes us happy and fulfilled. Check in with yourself: What came to mind when you read this?\r\n\r\n<i>The New Moon trines Mars and Pluto in </i><b><i>Capricorn. </i></b>This combo promotes a realistic and responsible long-term approach. We have the chance to better align our goals with our values; it\'s easier for us to sustain what we have started, and bring a heightened sense of commitment to it all.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> If I am completely honest, what do I truly want for myself long-term? What really matters to me? If I felt the need to connect to something in a passionate way, what might that be? What truly fulfills me? And what modest step could I take today to move towards my goals?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus, </i>the ruler of Taurus, <i>moves through </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> at the time of the New Moon. This reminds us to learn and discuss Taurean issues: resources, appreciation of physical matter, natural beauty etc.\r\n\r\nThe spiritual quest of <b>Gemini</b>, on the other hand, concerns the development of perception, our powers of thought, and communication. As the creative power of the feminine, Venus in Gemini represents <i>the \"bringing together of opposites\" -- </i>people with different values, for example.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> When I picture this, what do I see? What might this look like in my various communities? How about within my relationships? Could exploring duality help me understand different points of views? Might curiosity be a vital tool in all of this? If so, what could I get curious about? What would 5% more flexibility do for my ability to relate to others?\r\n\r\nAnother thing worth mentioning: <i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>also</i> <i>makes a</i> <i>\"mutual reception\" to Mercury in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> <b><i>--</i></b> in other words, these planets are in each other\'s signs until May 19th; during that time, they \"mutually\" support each other\'s agenda. This gives us the opportunity to connect mind and heart.\r\n\r\nWe seek out mental stimulation: teaching, learning, writing, collecting and processing information, etc.... and we want to share the output in practical ways, applying it to the real world and ourselves, our values, and our physical experience of life.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, allow yourself to take your time processing things that you just started engaging with. In the meantime, stay open to learning, remain curious, and remember that every teacher is also a student and vice versa.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What if I listened to myself 5% more? What if I had 5% more faith that I\'d be heard? What might I discover about my thinking processes and my value? Is it possible my value doesn\'t need to be \"earned\"? What if, without my being alive, nothing else could be as it is?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus, in the last degree of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i>, makes a square to Mars in the last degree of </i><b><i>Capricorn </i></b>at the time of the New Moon (more about this square when it becomes exact on Wednesday). As some of you already know, when a planet is the last degree of a sign, its energy is more exalted, as it knows that a shift is coming -- you could say that the rumbling of its vibration gets louder.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What am I waking to? Where do I need to assert myself? How might I do that while still keeping what I want to create long-term in view? What has been holding me back? What am I ready to address and change? What needs to happen so I can move forward in a mature fashion?\r\n\r\n<i>Uranus moves into </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b> only 3.5 hours after the New Moon becomes exact (more on that below) -- starting its preview through this peace-loving, sensual sign until early November of this year -- I say \"preview\", because Uranus will return to <b>Taurus</b> in March 2019, for a 7 year-transit. These next 28 days will be ripe with shifts and changes, so stay centered in the here and now, expect the unexpected and allow yourself to make an inner shift -- as this paves the way for an outer shift. Flexibility is key!\r\n\r\nWe went over this upcoming shift in more detail in the last Forecasting Forum -- if you want to know how Uranus\'s journey through Taurus until 2026 impacts you personally, feel free to get the 120 min. long webinar on the subject; <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product-category/webinars/\">for more info or to purchase, click here </a>The fee for this is only $37, even though the webinar is 30 minutes longer than my usual webinars -- partly because we also cover Chiron\'s journey through Aries until 2027.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://goo.gl/844ZMG\">You can also check out a brief excerpt of this webinar, here</a> Enjoy ;-) I also offer a <strong>Special Offer this month</strong>: sign up for Star or SuperStar Membership <strong>by May 31st</strong> (or upgrade from Universal to Star Membership via \"My Account\"), and get this webinar for FREE! If you are already a Star or SuperStar Member check your email for the link to this webinar -- it was emailed to you on April 30th ;-)\r\n\r\nThink back over the last 7 years (i.e. March 2011 - May 2018), while Uranus was in <b>Aries</b>, and <b>ask yourself: </b>Where did I make progress on my goals and desires? What structures needed to be renewed for me to break through and find a new or unique approach to who I\'m being? Do some of those structures actually need to break down? What self-realizations make me stand out and go after things in a more original way? How did this 7-year transit through Aries support my vision?\r\n\r\nIf you have a Birth chart, and know what to look for, look to see what Houses are connected to the <b>Aries</b> energy -- and if that sounds like I\'m talking a foreign language, feel free to watch my video: <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/how-to-read-your-birth-chart/\">How to Read Your Birth Chart</a> <i>or</i> <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">join our next Forecasting Forum</a> on <b>May 31st at 7pm EDT</b>, and ask me your questions there. We will cover the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that starts in June -- that will also be connected to Aries in your chart -- I will definitely explain this in great detail in the Forum ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury in 3 degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> conjuncts Uranus in 29 degrees of </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> -- this alignment is exact on May 13th, in 29º of Aries, two days before the New Moon becomes exact<i>.</i><b><i> </i></b>This could bring some exciting possibilities, perhaps even a leap forward in the evolution of our consciousness, with flashes of insight into our own mental workings and some original thoughts coming through, etc.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, and as much as you want to (of course), stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What might a true breakthrough look like? What insights am I receiving? What is it I\'m learning about myself every day that might change my whole perspective?\r\n\r\n<i>Mercury also makes a trine to Saturn in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>. With Saturn</i> being a part of the equation it is important for us to learn something new using a mature and realistic approach.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What concrete, practical plans could I make? Could I allow myself to take it one step at a time, staying grounded in the here and now? What does a truthful, realistic alignment with long-term goals look like to me?\r\n\r\n<i>Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> trines Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces </i></b>at the time of the New Moon, bringing the potential for spiritual inspiration -- and it\'s a great time for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>How might more trust and empathy help my perception of intimate relationships? What might be possible for me if I allowed for things to unfold? What if I allowed myself to see the perfection in everything that I perceive right here, right now?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum it all up for this New Moon:</b> It is important to remember that we are part of nature, just like a tree, or an ocean -- our actions and interactions with the only home we have will change it, for good or ill. We are also developing an increasingly profound conscious awareness over the next 28 days that connects us to all that is alive.\r\n\r\nTo bring all this together,<b> ask yourself:</b> What baby steps could I take for the planet I co-inhabit? What would show my love and appreciation? What do I sense when I get very quiet and tune into my own energy field and the energy all around me? What really matters to my heart?\r\n\r\nThe New Moon is also the best time to set some powerful intentions for this month\'s Moon cycle. This is best done soon after the New Moon becomes exact -- and definitely <i>not</i> during a <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a> phase. So this month, the <i>best time to set intentions </i>would be <b>between</b> <b>7:48am on Tuesday, May 15th and <strong>7:48am EDT Thursday morning (May 17th).</strong></b>\r\n\r\n<i>Note</i>, however, that there is a brief <a href=\"http://www.astrologercoach.com/blog/2011/09/22/What-is-this-Moon-void-of-course-energy.aspx\">Moon void of course</a><b> on Tuesday afternoon -- it runs from 4:30pm until 4:43pm EDT. </b><i>Don’t</i> set your intentions during those 13 minutes — instead, allow intuition to surface possible intentions while you wait.

I will be posting reminders on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday morning to let you know that it\'s the best time to set your intentions ;-)\r\n\r\nWhen setting intentions, <strong>ask yourself:</strong> What might shift if I focused 5% more on the beauty that already surrounds me?<i> </i>What might open up if I truly valued curiosity and open-mindedness? What if I learned to listen right past my conditioning and opinions? What if I took my time to respond? What might my heart want me to say? <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\"> Again, feel free to also watch my video on the subject</a>: https://youtu.be/IvgN28_yRKc\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in 22-27 degrees of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel the effects of this New Moon more strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>On Tuesday late morning, at 11:16am EDT</strong>,<em> Uranus changes signs from pioneering, fast-paced <strong>Aries</strong> to steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until November 6th. </strong>This is actually a \"preview\" of Uranus\'s coming 8-year transit through Taurus.

Also: Uranus was  also in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> 8 3 years ago.

Use this intuitive time to take small steps on projects already underway -- or simply take a break and do a set of Sun Salutations or push-ups ;-)\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 4:43pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters chatty, versatile <strong>Gemini,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Thursday late afternoon/early evening. </strong>For the next two days, we like to learn, connect and interact as much as possible. \"Busy\" feels good: connecting online, on the phone, or sharing face-to-face, preferably multi-tasking all the way…\r\n\r\nThe one thing we can do without is boredom: If our mind is not engaged in some way, we might as well curl up and play dead :-)\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 16th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in <strong>Gemini</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\nTuesday night/<strong>Wednesday very early morning at 12:55am EDT,</strong> <i>Mars changes signs from practical, accomplishment-oriented </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Capricorn</strong><i> to freedom-loving, forward-thinking </i><strong><i>Aquarius</i>, </strong>where it<em> </em>will journey for an unusually long time, <strong>until August 12th. </strong>Due to the upcoming Mars retrograde phase that begins in the end of June, Mars will journey through<strong> Aquarius </strong>one more time,<strong> from Sept. 10th - Nov. 15th.</strong>\r\n\r\nI will be talking about the Mars Station and Retrograde phase that begins in June in my next Forecasting Forum. Mars will be stationing in Aquarius, and retrograding back into Capricorn. What does this mean for the current Healing journey of our masculine energies?\r\n\r\nIf you want to know how to align yourself with this planetary movement, join me live or sign up for the mp4-video presentation.

How could you move that to the next level?\r\n\r\nDuring these times, when Mars travels through Aquarius, we enjoy surprising ourselves and others. The tried-and-true methods of getting things done are far too boring for us right now. We are looking for unique and original goals, and we tend to take a more original, forward-thinking view of the world now. What if, when you were least expecting it, you suddenly asked yourself \"How could I surprise the \"old me\" today?\" ;-)\r\n\r\nMental and intellectual pursuits are important to us now. The Aquarian ideal of equality is strong with this position, so we also place a lot of value in freedom and individuality -- our own <i>and</i> that of others. With Mars in this fixed sign, we will definitely need our independence, especially in personal relationships -- and we are not easily pushed around. It\'s best to give ourselves and others lots of space; if we feel boxed in, we may rebel or act contrary.\r\n\r\nIn general, we may feel a desire to push our agenda on others -- not in an aggressive way, though... more in a creative manner. As best as you can, bring a sense of openness to your approach to people and situations. Be aware of feeling superior to others: if you find yourself thinking that someone is less \"special\" than you, put your hand over your heart and ask \"what would my heart say to this?\"\r\n\r\n<i>If you have an </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to feel more detached, forward-thinking and freedom-loving. You may want to change things in your life that have outlived their use. If you are an </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i> Sun-sign or Rising sign, you will feel quite energized for the next 12.5 weeks. Channeling this energy into physical exercise or a project might be advisable.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mars/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 3:04am EDT. This is the first Mars/Uranus Square of the year in the fixed signs (Aquarius/Taurus). <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last week Monday (May 7th), it will remain strong until next week Friday (May 25th). </strong>This aspect asks us to get in touch with our desires and break away from anything that is holding us back. Passions and anger that we may not even know we had may emerge at this time.\r\n\r\nUranus urges us to let go of the past and focus on a better future. We may feel restless and impatient; we can be very demanding and difficult to please. We tend to feel like progress is too slow and we are tired of waiting. This could be an explosive time, as our inner rebel issues emotional challenges, while outer \"reality\" demands we change course.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, if you are the kind of person that doesn\'t go in for asserting themselves, this is an excellent time to try it out ;-) Do your best not to burn all your bridges, especially with any males in your family or in your various communities. We may also experience an awakening of sorts in regards to our sexuality.\r\n\r\nAccidents are unusually likely (though not inevitable), especially if our levels of activity and energy are erratic; to prevent this, stay as grounded as possible and keep breathing! Flexibility and open-mindedness are always helpful but are especially important now. Notice when you are digging your heels in about something, this is usually a sign that you have some underlying anxiety about something else; again, take a deep breath, get centered in your body, close your eyes and focus on your third eye.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What am I afraid of happening? How might I channel this restless energy into projects that are asking for progress? How might I channel, or just burn off, all this erratic energy? What kind of exercise might be an energetic match? Where am I stagnating? Where am I able to take innovative action?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or personal planets in </i><i>27-29 degrees</i><i> of </i><b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer, Capricorn,</i></b><i> or 0-</i><i>3 </i><i>degrees of </i><b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>?

Use this intuitive time to connect with others and share yourself in whatever way, shape, or form feels right to you in the moment: spoken or written word, phone, email, IM, letter, etc.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday afternoon until early evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 5:47pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Saturday evening</strong>. With this Moon placement, we are more sensitive to what people say and therefore our feelings are more easily hurt -- so be kind to yourself and others. Self-Care is key for the next two and half days ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional safety is important to us as well; we like connecting to the familiar and we enjoy nurturing ourselves and others -- home and family call to us, for instance. Make sure that your glass is filled before letting others drink from it -- otherwise, you risk becoming drained and resentful.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday late evening, around 10:40pm EDT, </strong><em>the Sun in <strong>Taurus</strong> squares the Solar Eclipse degree</em> from Feb. 15th (27 degrees of <strong>Aquarius</strong>). This marks a turning point in our lives in regards to our Soul\'s Journey.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Observe how this plays out for you: Where are you looking to make progress? What needs to change? What adjustments or creative solutions might clear the way for you to move forward powerfully with an open mind?</span></p>\r\n<strong>Friday (May 18th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday late afternoon/early evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday early afternoon</strong>, <em>a harmonious Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 12:49pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening (May 16th) on, it will remain strong until Sunday (May 20th). </strong>It will help to interact with integrity and commitment. We can set aside unrealistic views and make concrete, practical plans, that help us explore our long-term goals.  <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe “get to the point” with no wasted time or words. Seeking a larger understanding, we speak our truth but temper it with adult caution and moderation. The reality of our beliefs gets clearer and our thought processes are more realistic. It is important for us to learn something new, with a mature attitude.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>5-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn, </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? Or perhaps you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn?</i></b><i> If so, you will likely be more blessed by this aspect.</i>\r\n\r\nAlso on<strong> Friday late afternoon, </strong>it\'s <i>time to take actions on our New Moon intentions</i>: if you set Intentions Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning -- after the New Moon became exact --<strong> today (from late afternoon on) </strong>and<strong> tomorrow (Saturday) <strong>before 5:14pm </strong></strong>and<strong><strong> after 7:11pm EDT, </strong></strong>will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (May 19th)</strong>:<em> the Moon remains in protective, nurturing <strong>Cancer</strong></em> <strong>until 7:11pm EDT</strong> (see Thursday early evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday morning at 9:11am EDT</strong>, <i style=\"font-style: italic;\">Venus changes signs from chatty, versatile &amp; curious</i><i> </i><strong style=\"font-style: italic;\">Gemini</strong><i style=\"font-style: italic;\"> to protective, nurturing </i><strong><i>Cancer, </i></strong>where she will journey <strong>until June 13th; </strong> for those 4 weeks, we value family, loved ones, our home, emotional safety -- and real-estate dealings.\r\n\r\nWe prefer to be around safe, familiar people and places. We\'d rather stay home than socialize; if we do go out, we much prefer dinner parties at someone\'s home to dining out. When it comes to love, be gentle with each other -- and make sure to talk about your feelings.\r\n\r\nWith regards to our finances, it\'s best to stick to what feels safest and most secure. It\'s a favorable time for real-estate and interior design, or anything that makes the home more comfortable and livable.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel more shy for the next 4 weeks. Your heart will want to connect with family and loved ones. If you are a</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to have more love and beauty in your life, for as long as Venus is in your sign ;-)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Venus/Uranus aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:30pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening (May 17th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Monday morning (May 21st). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This gives us the opportunity to experiment with how we relate to others -- to do something different or unusual -- freedom plays a big part in this aspect.</span>\r\n\r\nOf course, others are experimenting too, so you might experience some unusual or unexpected interactions during this time -- it\'s a favorable time for social meetings and events. As best as you can, stay open and flexible: fresh air is blowing through your relationships.\r\n\r\nWe\'re also ready to experiment with our financial undertakings -- good places to look: all things \"tech\" (electronics, technology, internet); metaphysics; the arts; group activities. This is not the best time to make long-term financial investments not suggested in an intuitive flash ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 28-29 degrees of <strong>Gemini</strong></i><b><i>, Aries, Leo, </i></b><b><i>Aquarius, </i></b><i>or 0-2 degrees of <strong>Cancer, Taurus, Pisces, </strong>or<strong> Virgo</strong></i><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, Uranus rules Aquarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 5:14pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 2 hours, <strong>until 7:11pm EDT</strong>. This intuitive time is an opportunity to connect with family around shared values -- and perhaps also to take a look at your household finances...\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Saturday late afternoon and evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 7:11pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Monday late evening</strong>. <span class=\"s1\">We may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)</span>\r\n\r\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are also a big part of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.\r\n\r\nIf there are no children around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the next two days. What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\nAgain, today<strong> (Saturday),  </strong>it\'s <i>time to take actions on our New Moon intentions</i>: if you set Intentions Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday morning -- after the New Moon became exact -- today <strong>before 5:14pm </strong>and<strong> after 7:11pm EDT, </strong>will be the best time to take relevant actions. If you wrote your intentions down, go back and take another look at what came through intuitively. If you didn’t write anything down, get quiet for a moment and check in with yourself: What actions are calling to me?\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 20th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> <strong>all day</strong> (see Saturday evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday very early morning</strong>, <em>an opportune Mars/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:55am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Monday (May 14th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Friday (May 25th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This is an opportunity to accept the validity of our anger and desire so that we can learn to express these energies naturally and confidently.</span>\r\n\r\nThis could also inspire us to make resolutions and take actions towards healing our emotional and spiritual wounds. Remember: this is an \"opportunity\" -- those aren\'t necessarily handed to us, we have to make them happen.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or any personal planets in the following: 29 degrees of <b>Capricorn, Pisces, Taurus, Scorpio, </b>or<b> </b>0-4 degrees of</i><b><i> Aquarius, Aries, Sagittarius </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Gemini</i></b><i>? If so, </i><span class=\"s1\"><i>you may be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i><b><i> Aries </i></b><i>(Mars rules Aries)</i></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late afternoon</strong>, <em>a challenging Venus/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:24pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday night (May 17th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Wednesday (May 23rd). </strong><span class=\"s1\">This aspect asks us to stretch past injuries and insecurities in our relationships, self-worth, and finances. If we can bring compassion and a different point of view to bear on these issues, we will reach a new understanding of ourselves and our life journey.</span>\r\n\r\nWe have the opportunity to learn from one another; ironically though, we may also feel insecure around others. Whenever Chiron is involved, we are being asked to do some healing work. As best as you can, use this time to learn about your sore spots. Nobody is perfect: we all have our flaws and idiosyncrasies. It\'s ok.\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you get triggered by someone, as best as you can, take it as an opportunity to see where this trigger originated -- probably in your childhood. Bring love and compassion to yourself, as you are, and as you were (i.e. your \"wounded child\"). Allow <i>any</i> feelings this may stir up in you. A feeling is just energy that wants to be experienced, and honored; it wants to move through us and out.</span></p>\r\nThe more we resist our feelings, the more we keep them spinning in place. As best as you can, move from the head to the heart: What might change, if you showed 5% more compassion toward your inner wounded child? What if you just decided to take an active part in the healing process?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following placements: 28-29 degrees of </i><b><i>Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> </i></b><i>0-5 degrees of </i><b><i>Cancer, Aries, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 10:06pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from early morning (May 20th) on, it will remain strong until Monday evening (May 21st). </strong><span class=\"s1\">We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward; we need to make a choice. We need to develop inner awareness, so we can make adjustments.</span>\r\n\r\nThis might concern compromising with others. Our enthusiasm might make us impatient or hasty with others. Our values may not be in alignment with those we work with. As best as you can, keep choosing the \"better\" alternative, adjusting as needed.\r\n\r\nWhen life slows down, or becomes uncomfortable, simplify and be patient. We are changing and growing in ways that we can\'t comprehend right now. Stay as open and observant as you can.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 1-3 degrees of</i><b><i> Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> (Venus rules Taurus and Libra; Mars rules Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late evening at 10:15pm EDT</strong>,the Sun changes signs from steady, sensual <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>to versatile, fast-thinking</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b>. It will journey through Gemini <b>until June 21st.</b> With the Sun in Gemini, the urge for self-expression is strong. We may be extra interested in collecting and sharing information. This is a time when curiosity and adaptability are favored. We are more flexible, changeable and adaptable -- which makes us quite social as well.\r\n\r\nWe enjoy intellectual conversations and we can easily become bored if we are not getting enough mental stimulation at this time. We are more objective and observant but prefer to keep things light and easy. There is usually a nervousness in the air at this time as well, as we are constantly seeking to connect and have new interactions. “Sharing” is the name of the game.\r\n\r\n<i>All this is especially true if you are a</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign. As a Gemini, you will feel a good dose of confidence and playfulness in the next four weeks; as a Leo, your vitality will most likely speed up and you feel more chatty than usual.</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 11:30 pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 22.5 hours, <strong>until 10:03pm EDT </strong>(Monday late evening, May 21st). We are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we feel a strong need to have fun and be creative or self-expressed.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, we want to explore deep, authentic -- even intimate -- connections to ourselves or others. Do your best to use this intuitive time to make adjustments, slow things down a little, and find creative solutions that honor both drives.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday late evening and Monday all day ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>A heads-up for next Monday (May 21st)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a>, <strong>until 10:03pm EDT</strong>. <strong>Also on Monday at 11:49pm EDT</strong>, <em>the first Quarter Moon in 1 degree of <strong>Virgo</strong> becomes exact</em>; the Moon in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in chatty, versatile <strong>Gemini</strong>.

There will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: <span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\">Monday all day until 10:03pm EDT;</span> Wednesday late morning (for 16 hours) and Friday afternoon (for 16.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (May 21st)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 10:03pm EDT. </strong>With the Moon in <strong>Leo</strong>, we may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)\r\n\r\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are also a big part of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.\r\n\r\nIf there are no children around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the rest of today. Ask yourself: What am I most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, I could  let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<strong>Moon <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> until 10:03pm EDT</strong>: we are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we feel a strong need to have fun and be creative or self-expressed.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, we want to explore deep, authentic -- even intimate -- connections to ourselves or others. Do your best to use this intuitive time to make adjustments, slow things down a little, and find creative solutions that honor both drives.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday late evening and Monday all day ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 10:03pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning</strong>; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact later this evening).\r\n\r\n***\r\n\r\nGET IT ALL!

Last week saw the New Moon, on May 15th. \"Seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day dealings with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 29 degrees of <strong>Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio</strong>, or 0-3 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (May 22nd)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:48pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last Saturday (May 19th) on, it will remain strong until Thursday night. </strong>This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body.\r\n\r\nWe all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?\r\n\r\nUntil Saturday, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity?\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 29 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn,</strong> <strong>Cancer,</strong> or 0-4 degrees of <strong>Gemini, Aries, Aquarius or Leo</strong>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Pisces (the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late evening</strong>, <em>an opportune Mercury/Neptune aspect</em> becoming exact at 10:13pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Monday night on, it will remain strong until Thursday. </strong>This aspect gives us the opportunity to bring compassion and an intuitive approach to our thinking process.\r\n\r\nHaving faith and connecting to our Higher Selves will be of service to us at this time. Any artistic or spiritual endeavors are likely to do well at this time. Music might help us with our thinking process and ability to get things done.\r\n\r\nLet yourself be inspired! A book, a song, a movie, someone else\'s words… allow the Universe to speak to you. Open your mind to a higher vibration -- and remember, opportunities are openings... they aren\'t necessarily handed to us... we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in<em>14-18 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 23rd)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Jupiter opposition</em> becomes exact at 1:54am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Monday on, it will remain strong until Thursday evening</strong>; it asks us to find the balance between our own personal passions and collaboration with others.\r\n\r\nThis could also show up as a need to balance what we <em>think</em> we need to go after, versus our desire for expansion in our one-on-one relationships. Of course, we could conceivably have it both ways:\r\n\r\nHow might collaboration and exploration within my relationships impact my self-connection? Could I share from a place of passion, perhaps just 5% more than normal? If I stepped way back from the canvas, what \"bigger picture\" would I see?\r\n\r\nWe generally feel quite optimistic at this time, perhaps overly so: The urge to grow and expand is strong, but we can overreach -- perhaps by overlooking critical details and thereby miscalculating. We might be inclined to exaggerate, then have a hard time putting our ideas and goals into practice. That said, we can also be extraordinarily funny and interesting at this time, especially in our one-on-one relationships :-)\r\n\r\nExpect a lot of talking and sharing -- and possibly some over-thinking or impulsive communication. Impatience is likely a side-effect of this aspect as well... As best as you can, take an \"observer\" position toward your mind: listen to your thoughts, catch yourself thinking.\r\n\r\nIn other words: as best as you can, practice listening, to yourself, to others, and to your body. Listening is an art form that makes it easier to tap into our own inner wisdom and our body\'s wisdom.\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 13-20 degrees of <strong>Aries, Libra, Capricorn </strong>or<strong> Cancer</strong>?

The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?\r\n\r\n<strong>Until Thursday night</strong>, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them.

Any artistic or spiritual endeavors are likely to do well at this time. Music might help us with our thinking process and ability to get things done.\r\n\r\nLet yourself be inspired! A book, a song, a movie, someone else\'s words… allow the Universe to speak to you. Open your mind to a higher vibration -- and remember, opportunities are openings... they aren\'t necessarily handed to us... we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in<em>14-18 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

Of course, we could conceivably have it both ways:\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">How might a different view/approach of my intimate relationships impact my self-worth? Could I share from a place of loving and honoring myself, perhaps just 5% more than normal?</span> If I stepped way back from the canvas, what \"bigger picture\" would I see?\r\n\r\nWe generally feel quite optimistic at this time, perhaps overly so: The urge to grow and expand is strong, but we can overreach -- perhaps by overlooking critical details and thereby miscalculating. We might be inclined to exaggerate, then have a hard time putting our ideas and goals into practice. That said, we can also be extraordinarily funny and interesting at this time, especially in our one-on-one relationships :-)\r\n\r\nExpect a lot of talking and sharing -- and possibly some over-thinking or impulsive communication. Impatience is likely a side-effect of this aspect as well... As best as you can, take an \"observer\" position toward your mind: listen to your thoughts, catch yourself thinking.\r\n\r\nIn other words: as best as you can, practice listening, to yourself, to others, and to your body. Listening is an art form that makes it easier to tap into our own inner wisdom and our body\'s wisdom.\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 13-20 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </strong>or<strong> Aquarius</strong>?

Of course, we could conceivably have it both ways:\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">How might a different view/approach of my intimate relationships impact my self-worth?

We might be inclined to exaggerate, then have a hard time putting our ideas and goals into practice. That said, we can also be extraordinarily funny and interesting at this time, especially in our one-on-one relationships :-)\r\n\r\nExpect a lot of talking and sharing -- and possibly some over-thinking or impulsive communication. Impatience is likely a side-effect of this aspect as well... As best as you can, take an \"observer\" position toward your mind: listen to your thoughts, catch yourself thinking.\r\n\r\nIn other words: as best as you can, practice listening, to yourself, to others, and to your body.

We respond to problems or challenges with a spirited and enthusiastic confidence that is admirable. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">We truly believe in equal opportunities</span> and seem to be in love with life. When we express or experience competitiveness, or courage, it\'s easy to smile and accept these traits as positive, rather than being rubbed the wrong way.

As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (May 25)</strong>:<em> the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday morning</strong>, <em>a long-lasting, harmonious Jupiter/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:52am EDT (first one of the year). Due to Jupiter\'s and Neptune\'s Station phases, <strong>we start to feel this aspect build from May 4th on, it will remain strong until July 15th. </strong>This brings the potential for deep, spiritual inspiration.\r\n\r\nExtravagance or exaggeration are possible during this time; routine is particularly unsatisfying, we easily detour from the practical path. On the other hand, this is a great time for connecting to music or spiritual endeavors -- and for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\nOur intuition is at an all-time high, as is our ability to explore our traumas and demons; we are also more able to resolve anything that is no longer empowering to us personally -- in particular, we can dissolve the fears that have kept us from deepening our relationships -- and this is also true on a collective level.\r\n\r\nGenerosity, compassion and faith will likely increase; we more readily and easily make personal sacrifices for what we see as the greater good. We have a deeper sense that all of us are part of the human family -- a sense of the unity that is possible between people, nations and all living things on this planet.\r\n\r\nThis can be a chance to increase our creativity, perceptiveness and empathy; it\'s a time to allow for things to unfold and for seeing the perfection in everything that is.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>13-19 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Scorpio, Pisces, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

We can feel really empowered by what we say (and how we say it) during this time. Our conviction and passion helps us to connect and empower others.\r\n\r\nWe are strongly connected to our inner truth and can analyze and understand our motivations around long-term goals. We investigate our own thought structures in a very realistic, focused way, and look to see what needs to be communicated next.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i> <em>18-24 degrees</em><i> of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments and find creative ways to work with the energies at play: On the one hand, as best as you can, collaborate with others and play nice, on the other hand, be authentic and truthful about what we want to build long-term.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

But what\'s really required is that we slow things down and be realistic as we can possibly be.\r\n\r\nWe could be withdrawing or holding back a little, as we attempt to figure out what we want and need -- and what we can give. We are working towards ridding ourselves of self-delusion when it comes to partnerships, socializing and finances. In the process, we might feel disdain for inauthentic interactions and resent \"going through the motions\" on a social and/or mental level.\r\n\r\nOur goal here is to make more connections aligned with our own truth. Relationships built on weak foundations may not survive, but stronger ones can be improved and strengthened. Financial matters might be stressful for the time being; this forces us into a position of conservation and moderation. As best as you can, find your inner balance with this -- and on an external level with others.\r\n\r\nThink back to late Oct./early Nov., 2016, when Venus was conjunct Saturn in Sagittarius. With Venus opposing Saturn now, we can start to see the fruits of the seeds that were planted back then. So: What were the seeds? What are the fruits?\r\n\r\nIn other words: What has emerged since early November, in regards to who and what you value? We are also now more aware of what we have (and haven\'t) learned since then... Do you like what you see? Is there room for more learning, more integration?\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>5-11 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Gemini, Sagittarius, Pisces </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>?

There will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: Monday all day until 10:03pm EDT; Wednesday late morning (for 16 hours) and Friday afternoon (for 16.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (May 21st)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 10:03pm EDT. </strong>With the Moon in <strong>Leo</strong>, we may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)\r\n\r\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are also a big part of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.\r\n\r\nIf there are no children around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the rest of today. Ask yourself: What am I most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, I could  let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a><strong> until 10:03pm EDT</strong>: we are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we feel a strong need to have fun and be creative or self-expressed.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, we want to explore deep, authentic -- even intimate -- connections to ourselves or others. Do your best to use this intuitive time to make adjustments, slow things down a little, and find creative solutions that honor both drives.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday late evening and Monday all day ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 10:03pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning</strong>; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact later this evening).\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\r\n<strong> GET IT ALL!

Last week saw the New Moon, on May 15th. \"Seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day dealings with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 29 degrees of <strong>Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio</strong>, or 0-3 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (May 22nd)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:48pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last Saturday (May 19th) on, it will remain strong until Thursday night. </strong>This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body.\r\n\r\nWe all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?\r\n\r\n<strong>Until Thursday night</strong>, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity?\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 29 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn,</strong> <strong>Cancer,</strong> or 0-4 degrees of <strong>Gemini, Aries, Aquarius </strong>or<strong> Leo</strong>?

Any artistic or spiritual endeavors are likely to do well at this time. Music might help us with our thinking process and ability to get things done.\r\n\r\nLet yourself be inspired! A book, a song, a movie, someone else\'s words… allow the Universe to speak to you. Open your mind to a higher vibration -- and remember, opportunities are openings... they aren\'t necessarily handed to us... we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <em>14-18 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

Could I share from a place of self-love and self-honoring,  just 5% more than normal? If I stepped way back from the canvas, what \"bigger picture\" would I see?\r\n\r\nWe generally feel quite optimistic at this time, perhaps overly so: The urge to grow and expand is strong, but we can overreach -- perhaps by overlooking critical details and thereby miscalculating.

That said, we can also be extraordinarily funny and interesting at this time, especially in our one-on-one relationships :-)\r\n\r\nExpect a lot of talking and sharing -- and possibly some over-thinking or impulsive communication.

You may also want to plan Wednesday all day until Thursday very early morning ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late evening</strong>, <em>a harmonious Sun/Mars aspect</em> become exact at 10:39pm EDT; <strong>we started feeling this aspect on Friday (May 18th), it has been building since then and will remain strong until the evening of next Monday, May 28th. </strong>\r\n\r\nThis aspect lets us know that we could create connections that bring us a sense of community and belonging, if we were simply to bring conscious awareness to our actions, and create a vision of a future that supports all of us,. It also brings a flow of intellectual stimulation that we can easily discuss and share with others.\r\n\r\nWe have powerful stores of energy right now that we can draw upon when needed. We respond to problems or challenges with a spirited and enthusiastic confidence that is admirable. We truly believe in equal opportunities and seem to be in love with life. When we express or experience competitiveness, or courage, it\'s easy to smile and accept these traits as positive, rather than being rubbed the wrong way. We generally have good mental and physical vitality during this transit.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>0-6 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Gemini, Aquarius, </i></b><i>or <b>Libra</b></i><i>? If so, you may feel more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Mars rules Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (May 24th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em> and<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> VoC</a> <strong>until 2:52am EDT</strong> (see Monday late evening and Wednesday late morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 2:52am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until Saturday late morning. </strong>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating -- and although these next two days are a great time for mediation, our need for peace (and aversion to direct conflict) could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might prefer.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able to see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early morning</strong>: we become more aware that we need to find a balance between two very different energies -- on the one hand,  taking a compassionate approach towards our personal goals, while being assertive in the world -- and on the other hand, our need to connect and collaborate with others. Ask yourself: what if taking a compassionate approach towards myself actually made for more fulfilling connections with others?\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning</strong>: starts out harmoniously, even though we feel an urge to make progress, and connect with others about our vision for the future.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday afternoon</strong>: we feel a need to stay within our safety zone while also connecting and collaborating -- stretch a little, and see if you can find creative ways to connect whilst honoring your need for safety and familiarity. As best as you can, listen to your feeling-body and be kind with yourself and others, if your needs do not align perfectly with others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early evening</strong>: we are invited to make some adjustments in our lives and find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations. As best as you can, look for solid foundations under any long-term goals currently underway, and for ways to create win-win outcomes for one-on-one relationships.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (May 25)</strong>:<em> the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday morning</strong>, <em>a long-lasting, harmonious Jupiter/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:52am EDT (first one of the year). Due to Jupiter\'s and Neptune\'s Station phases, <strong>we start to feel this aspect build from May 4th on, it will remain strong until July 15th. </strong>This brings the potential for deep, spiritual inspiration.\r\n\r\nExtravagance or exaggeration are possible during this time; routine is particularly unsatisfying, we easily detour from the practical path. On the other hand, this is a great time for connecting to music or spiritual endeavors -- and for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\nOur intuition is at an all-time high, as is our ability to explore our traumas and demons; we are also more able to resolve anything that is no longer empowering to us personally -- in particular, we can dissolve the fears that have kept us from deepening our relationships -- and this is also true on a collective level.\r\n\r\nGenerosity, compassion and faith will likely increase; we more readily and easily make personal sacrifices for what we see as the greater good. We have a deeper sense that all of us are part of the human family -- a sense of the unity that is possible between people, nations and all living things on this planet.\r\n\r\nThis can be a chance to increase our creativity, perceptiveness and empathy; it\'s a time to allow for things to unfold and for seeing the perfection in everything that is.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>13-19 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Scorpio, Pisces, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more blessed by this aspect; this is also true for those of us with the Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Mercury/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 9:38am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on, it will remain strong until Sunday morning. </strong>Our words and our \"speaking\" are very grounded and realistic. We can feel really empowered by what we say (and how we say it) during this time. Our conviction and passion helps us to connect and empower others.\r\n\r\nWe are strongly connected to our inner truth and can analyze and understand our motivations around long-term goals. We investigate our own thought structures in a very realistic, focused way, and look to see what needs to be communicated next.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i> <em>18-24 degrees</em><i> of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be even more blessed by this aspect than those who do not; this is also true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Scorpio</i></b> <i>(Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo, Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 5:04pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 16.5 hours,<strong> until 9:39am EDT Saturday late morning</strong>. Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments and find creative ways to work with the energies at play: On the one hand, as best as you can, collaborate with others and play nice, on the other hand, be authentic and truthful about what we want to build long-term.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday late afternoon until Saturday late morning ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (May 26th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 9:39am EDT</strong> (see Thursday very early morning and Friday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday very early morning</strong>,<em> a Venus/Saturn opposition</em> becomes exact at 2:40am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on, it will remain strong until next Monday evening (May 28th). </strong>This might be a time of relationship tests or trials: we may not be attracting the things and people that we want in our lives -- at least, not as easily as we were before this transit.\r\n\r\nThis can be eye-opening -- a signal to work on improving the \"ways\" (as well as the \"things\") that we bring to partnerships or to our finances. Doubts could be raised now. But what\'s really required is that we slow things down and be as realistic as we can possibly be.\r\n\r\nWe could be withdrawing or holding back a little, as we attempt to figure out what we want and need -- and what we can give. We are working towards ridding ourselves of self-delusion when it comes to partnerships, socializing and finances. In the process, we might feel disdain for inauthentic interactions and resent \"going through the motions\" on a social and/or mental level.\r\n\r\nOur goal here is to make more connections aligned with our own truth. Relationships built on weak foundations may not survive, but stronger ones can be improved and strengthened. Financial matters might be stressful for the time being; this forces us into a position of conservation and moderation. As best as you can, find your inner balance with this -- and on an external level with others.\r\n\r\nThink back to <strong>late Dec., 2017</strong>, when Venus was conjunct Saturn in <strong>Capricorn</strong>. With Venus opposing Saturn now, we can start to see the fruits of the seeds that were planted back then. So: What were the seeds? What are the fruits?\r\n\r\nIn other words: What has emerged since late December, in regards to who and what you value? We are also now more aware of what we have (and haven\'t) learned since then... Do you like what you see? Is there room for more learning, more integration?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>5-11 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 9:39am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until next week, Monday evening</strong> (May 28th). We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s thus an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your very best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 27th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Saturday late morning for details).\r\n\r\nSaturday night/<strong>Sunday very early morning: </strong>for the next several hours, we enjoy familiar company and surroundings -- our home is our castle.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early morning: </strong>we are invited to<strong> </strong>connect with others on a deep emotional level, and explore new points of views about our ability to make authentic connections.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late afternoon: </strong>we are likely to experience a sense of ease and flow, but may need to slow down and allow our feelings to come through. A gentle approach is best. We feel good when coming from the heart and making deeper connections with others. Being open to receiving and going with the flow are key!\r\n\r\n<strong>A heads up for next Monday (May 28th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em><strong> until 6:29pm EDT</strong>. <strong>At 1:25pm EDT,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course</a>, that last for 5 hours, <strong>until 6:29pm EDT</strong>.

There will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: Monday all day until 10:03pm EDT; Wednesday late morning (for 16 hours) and Friday afternoon (for 16.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (May 21st)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 10:03pm EDT. </strong>With the Moon in <strong>Leo</strong>, we may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)\r\n\r\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are also a big part of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.\r\n\r\nIf there are no children around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the rest of today. Ask yourself: What am I most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, I could  let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a><strong> until 10:03pm EDT</strong>: we are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we feel a strong need to have fun and be creative or self-expressed.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, we want to explore deep, authentic -- even intimate -- connections to ourselves or others. Do your best to use this intuitive time to make adjustments, slow things down a little, and find creative solutions that honor both drives.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday late evening and Monday all day ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 10:03pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning</strong>; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact later this evening).\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\r\n<strong> GET IT ALL!

Last week saw the New Moon, on May 15th. \"Seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day dealings with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 29 degrees of <strong>Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio</strong>, or 0-3 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (May 22nd)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:48pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last Saturday (May 19th) on, it will remain strong until Thursday night. </strong>This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body.\r\n\r\nWe all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?\r\n\r\n<strong>Until Thursday night</strong>, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity?\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 29 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn,</strong> <strong>Cancer,</strong> or 0-4 degrees of <strong>Gemini, Aries, Aquarius </strong>or<strong> Leo</strong>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Pisces (the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late evening</strong>, <em>an opportune Mercury/Neptune aspect</em> becoming exact at 10:13pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Monday night on, it will remain strong until Thursday morning. </strong>This aspect gives us the opportunity to bring compassion and an intuitive approach to our thinking process.\r\n\r\nHaving faith and connecting to our Higher Selves will be of service to us at this time. Any artistic or spiritual endeavors are likely to do well at this time. Music might help us with our thinking process and ability to get things done.\r\n\r\nLet yourself be inspired! A book, a song, a movie, someone else\'s words… allow the Universe to speak to you. Open your mind to a higher vibration -- and remember, opportunities are openings... they aren\'t necessarily handed to us... we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <em>14-18 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 23rd)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday late evening for details).\r\n\r\nTuesday night/<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Jupiter opposition</em> becomes exact at 1:54am EDT. <strong>We feel this aspect build from Monday; it will remain strong until Thursday evening.</strong>\r\n\r\nIt asks us to balance our personal values and resources against our authentic, emotional connections with others (and any resources we share with them). This could also show up as a need to balance what we <em>think</em> we need to own or have, with our desire for expansion within intimate relationships and shared resources.\r\n\r\nOf course, we could conceivably have it both ways -- here are some questions you can ask yourself, that might help with this: How might taking a different view of my intimate relationships impact my self-worth? Could I share from a place of self-love and self-honoring,  just 5% more than normal? If I stepped way back from the canvas, what \"bigger picture\" would I see?\r\n\r\nWe generally feel quite optimistic at this time, perhaps overly so: The urge to grow and expand is strong, but we can overreach -- perhaps by overlooking critical details and thereby miscalculating. We might be inclined to exaggerate, then have a hard time putting our ideas and goals into practice. That said, we can also be extraordinarily funny and interesting at this time, especially in our one-on-one relationships :-)\r\n\r\nExpect a lot of talking and sharing -- and possibly some over-thinking or impulsive communication. Impatience is likely a side-effect of this aspect as well... As best as you can, take an \"observer\" position toward your mind: listen to your thoughts, catch yourself thinking.\r\n\r\nIn other words: as best as you can, practice listening, to yourself, to others, and to your body. Listening is an art form that makes it easier to tap into our own inner wisdom and our body\'s wisdom.\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 13-20 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </strong>or<strong> Aquarius</strong>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly.

You may also want to plan Wednesday all day until Thursday very early morning ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late evening</strong>, <em>a harmonious Sun/Mars aspect</em> become exact at 10:39pm EDT; <strong>we started feeling this aspect on Friday (May 18th), it has been building since then and will remain strong until the evening of next Monday, May 28th. </strong>\r\n\r\nThis aspect lets us know that we could create connections that bring us a sense of community and belonging, if we were simply to bring conscious awareness to our actions, and create a vision of a future that supports all of us,. It also brings a flow of intellectual stimulation that we can easily discuss and share with others.\r\n\r\nWe have powerful stores of energy right now that we can draw upon when needed. We respond to problems or challenges with a spirited and enthusiastic confidence that is admirable. We truly believe in equal opportunities and seem to be in love with life. When we express or experience competitiveness, or courage, it\'s easy to smile and accept these traits as positive, rather than being rubbed the wrong way. We generally have good mental and physical vitality during this transit.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>0-6 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Gemini, Aquarius, </i></b><i>or <b>Libra</b></i><i>? If so, you may feel more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Mars rules Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (May 24th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em> and<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> VoC</a> <strong>until 2:52am EDT</strong> (see Monday late evening and Wednesday late morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 2:52am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until Saturday late morning. </strong>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating -- and although these next two days are a great time for mediation, our need for peace (and aversion to direct conflict) could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might prefer.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able to see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early morning</strong>: we become more aware that we need to find a balance between two very different energies -- on the one hand,  taking a compassionate approach towards our personal goals, while being assertive in the world -- and on the other hand, our need to connect and collaborate with others. Ask yourself: what if taking a compassionate approach towards myself actually made for more fulfilling connections with others?\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning</strong>: starts out harmoniously, even though we feel an urge to make progress, and connect with others about our vision for the future.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday afternoon</strong>: we feel a need to stay within our safety zone while also connecting and collaborating -- stretch a little, and see if you can find creative ways to connect whilst honoring your need for safety and familiarity. As best as you can, listen to your feeling-body and be kind with yourself and others, if your needs do not align perfectly with others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early evening</strong>: we are invited to<span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\"> </span>make some adjustments in our lives and find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations. As best as you can, look for solid foundations under any long-term goals currently underway, and for ways to create win-win outcomes for one-on-one relationships.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (May 25)</strong>:<em> the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday morning</strong>, <em>a long-lasting, harmonious Jupiter/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:52am EDT (first one of the year). Due to Jupiter\'s and Neptune\'s Station phases, <strong>we start to feel this aspect build from May 4th on, it will remain strong until July 15th. </strong>This brings the potential for deep, spiritual inspiration.\r\n\r\nExtravagance or exaggeration are possible during this time; routine is particularly unsatisfying, we easily detour from the practical path. On the other hand, this is a great time for connecting to music or spiritual endeavors -- and for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\nOur intuition is at an all-time high, as is our ability to explore our traumas and demons; we are also more able to resolve anything that is no longer empowering to us personally -- in particular, we can dissolve the fears that have kept us from deepening our relationships -- and this is also true on a collective level.\r\n\r\nGenerosity, compassion and faith will likely increase; we more readily and easily make personal sacrifices for what we see as the greater good. We have a deeper sense that all of us are part of the human family -- a sense of the unity that is possible between people, nations and all living things on this planet.\r\n\r\nThis can be a chance to increase our creativity, perceptiveness and empathy; it\'s a time to allow for things to unfold and for seeing the perfection in everything that is.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>13-19 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Scorpio, Pisces, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more blessed by this aspect; this is also true for those of us with the Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Mercury/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 9:38am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on, it will remain strong until Sunday morning. </strong>Our words and our \"speaking\" are very grounded and realistic. We can feel really empowered by what we say (and how we say it) during this time. Our conviction and passion helps us to connect and empower others.\r\n\r\nWe are strongly connected to our inner truth and can analyze and understand our motivations around long-term goals. We investigate our own thought structures in a very realistic, focused way, and look to see what needs to be communicated next.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i> <em>18-24 degrees</em><i> of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be even more blessed by this aspect than those who do not; this is also true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Scorpio</i></b> <i>(Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo, Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 5:04pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 16.5 hours,<strong> until 9:39am EDT Saturday late morning</strong>. Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments and find creative ways to work with the energies at play: On the one hand, as best as you can, collaborate with others and play nice, on the other hand, be authentic and truthful about what we want to build long-term.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday late afternoon until Saturday late morning ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (May 26th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 9:39am EDT</strong> (see Thursday very early morning and Friday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday very early morning</strong>,<em> a Venus/Saturn opposition</em> becomes exact at 2:40am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on, it will remain strong until next Monday evening (May 28th). </strong>This might be a time of relationship tests or trials: we may not be attracting the things and people that we want in our lives -- at least, not as easily as we were before this transit.\r\n\r\nThis can be eye-opening -- a signal to work on improving the \"ways\" (as well as the \"things\") that we bring to partnerships or to our finances. Doubts could be raised now. But what\'s really required is that we slow things down and be as realistic as we can possibly be.\r\n\r\nWe could be withdrawing or holding back a little, as we attempt to figure out what we want and need -- and what we can give. We are working towards ridding ourselves of self-delusion when it comes to partnerships, socializing and finances. In the process, we might feel disdain for inauthentic interactions and resent \"going through the motions\" on a social and/or mental level.\r\n\r\nOur goal here is to make more connections aligned with our own truth. Relationships built on weak foundations may not survive, but stronger ones can be improved and strengthened. Financial matters might be stressful for the time being; this forces us into a position of conservation and moderation. As best as you can, find your inner balance with this -- and on an external level with others.\r\n\r\nThink back to <strong>late Dec., 2017</strong>, when Venus was conjunct Saturn in <strong>Capricorn</strong>. With Venus opposing Saturn now, we can start to see the fruits of the seeds that were planted back then. So: What were the seeds? What are the fruits?\r\n\r\nIn other words: What has emerged since late December, in regards to who and what you value? We are also now more aware of what we have (and haven\'t) learned since then... Do you like what you see? Is there room for more learning, more integration?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>5-11 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 9:39am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until next week, Monday evening</strong> (May 28th). We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s thus an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your very best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 27th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Saturday late morning for details).\r\n\r\nSaturday night/<strong>Sunday very early morning: </strong>for the next several hours, we enjoy familiar company and surroundings -- our home is our castle.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early morning: </strong>we are invited to<strong> </strong>connect with others on a deep emotional level, and explore new points of views about our ability to make authentic connections.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late afternoon: </strong>we are likely to experience a sense of ease and flow, but may need to slow down and allow our feelings to come through. A gentle approach is best. We feel good when coming from the heart and making deeper connections with others. Being open to receiving and going with the flow are key!\r\n\r\n<strong>A heads up for next Monday (May 28th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em><strong> until 6:29pm EDT</strong>. <strong>At 1:25pm EDT,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course</a>, that last for 5 hours, <strong>until 6:29pm EDT</strong>.

There will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: Monday all day until 10:03pm EDT; Wednesday late morning (for 16 hours) and Friday afternoon (for 16.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (May 21st)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 10:03pm EDT. </strong>With the Moon in <strong>Leo</strong>, we may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)\r\n\r\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are also a big part of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.\r\n\r\nIf there are no children around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the rest of today. Ask yourself: What am I most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, I could  let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<strong>Moon <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> until 10:03pm EDT</strong>: we are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we feel a strong need to have fun and be creative or self-expressed.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, we want to explore deep, authentic -- even intimate -- connections to ourselves or others. Do your best to use this intuitive time to make adjustments, slow things down a little, and find creative solutions that honor both drives.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday late evening and Monday all day ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 10:03pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning</strong>; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact later this evening).\r\n\r\n***\r\n\r\nGET IT ALL!

Last week saw the New Moon, on May 15th. \"Seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day dealings with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 29 degrees of <strong>Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio</strong>, or 0-3 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (May 22nd)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:48pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last Saturday (May 19th) on, it will remain strong until Thursday night. </strong>This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body.\r\n\r\nWe all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?\r\n\r\n<strong>Until Thursday night</strong>, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity?\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 29 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn,</strong> <strong>Cancer,</strong> or 0-4 degrees of <strong>Gemini, Aries, Aquarius </strong>or<strong> Leo</strong>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Pisces (the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late evening</strong>, <em>an opportune Mercury/Neptune aspect</em> becoming exact at 10:13pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Monday night on, it will remain strong until Thursday morning. </strong>This aspect gives us the opportunity to bring compassion and an intuitive approach to our thinking process.\r\n\r\nHaving faith and connecting to our Higher Selves will be of service to us at this time. Any artistic or spiritual endeavors are likely to do well at this time. Music might help us with our thinking process and ability to get things done.\r\n\r\nLet yourself be inspired! A book, a song, a movie, someone else\'s words… allow the Universe to speak to you. Open your mind to a higher vibration -- and remember, opportunities are openings... they aren\'t necessarily handed to us... we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <em>14-18 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 23rd)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday late evening for details).\r\n\r\nTuesday night/<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Jupiter opposition</em> becomes exact at 1:54am EDT. <strong>We feel this aspect build from Monday; it will remain strong until Thursday evening.</strong>\r\n\r\nIt asks us to balance our personal values and resources against our authentic, emotional connections with others (and any resources we share with them). This could also show up as a need to balance what we <em>think</em> we need to own or have, with our desire for expansion within intimate relationships and shared resources.\r\n\r\nOf course, we could conceivably have it both ways -- here are some questions you can ask yourself, that might help with this: How might taking a different view of my intimate relationships impact my self-worth? Could I share from a place of self-love and self-honoring,  just 5% more than normal? If I stepped way back from the canvas, what \"bigger picture\" would I see?\r\n\r\nWe generally feel quite optimistic at this time, perhaps overly so: The urge to grow and expand is strong, but we can overreach -- perhaps by overlooking critical details and thereby miscalculating. We might be inclined to exaggerate, then have a hard time putting our ideas and goals into practice. That said, we can also be extraordinarily funny and interesting at this time, especially in our one-on-one relationships :-)\r\n\r\nExpect a lot of talking and sharing -- and possibly some over-thinking or impulsive communication. Impatience is likely a side-effect of this aspect as well... As best as you can, take an \"observer\" position toward your mind: listen to your thoughts, catch yourself thinking.\r\n\r\nIn other words: as best as you can, practice listening, to yourself, to others, and to your body. Listening is an art form that makes it easier to tap into our own inner wisdom and our body\'s wisdom.\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 13-20 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </strong>or<strong> Aquarius</strong>?

We respond to problems or challenges with a spirited and enthusiastic confidence that is admirable. We truly believe in equal opportunities and seem to be in love with life. When we express or experience competitiveness, or courage, it\'s easy to smile and accept these traits as positive, rather than being rubbed the wrong way. We generally have good mental and physical vitality during this transit.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>0-6 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Gemini, Aquarius, </i></b><i>or <b>Libra</b></i><i>?

As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early morning</strong>: we become more aware that we need to find a balance between two very different energies -- on the one hand,  taking a compassionate approach towards our personal goals, while being assertive in the world -- and on the other hand, our need to connect and collaborate with others. Ask yourself: what if taking a compassionate approach towards myself actually made for more fulfilling connections with others? <span style=\"color: #993300;\">(Moon in Libra opposes Chiron in Aries at 5:53am EDT -- post at 4am EDT)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning</strong>: starts out harmoniously, even though we feel an urge to make progress, and connect with others about our vision for the future. <span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">(Moon in Libra trines Mars in Aquarius and Sun in Gemini at 8:48am EDT -- post at 6:50am EDT)</span></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday afternoon</strong>: we feel a need to stay within our safety zone while also connecting and collaborating -- stretch a little, and see if you can find creative ways to connect whilst honoring your need for safety and familiarity.

Due to Jupiter\'s and Neptune\'s Station phases, <strong>we start to feel this aspect build from May 4th on, it will remain strong until July 15th. </strong>This brings the potential for deep, spiritual inspiration.\r\n\r\nExtravagance or exaggeration are possible during this time; routine is particularly unsatisfying, we easily detour from the practical path. On the other hand, this is a great time for connecting to music or spiritual endeavors -- and for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\nOur intuition is at an all-time high, as is our ability to explore our traumas and demons; we are also more able to resolve anything that is no longer empowering to us personally -- in particular, we can dissolve the fears that have kept us from deepening our relationships -- and this is also true on a collective level.\r\n\r\nGenerosity, compassion and faith will likely increase; we more readily and easily make personal sacrifices for what we see as the greater good. We have a deeper sense that all of us are part of the human family -- a sense of the unity that is possible between people, nations and all living things on this planet.\r\n\r\nThis can be a chance to increase our creativity, perceptiveness and empathy; it\'s a time to allow for things to unfold and for seeing the perfection in everything that is.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>13-19 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Scorpio, Pisces, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

We can feel really empowered by what we say (and how we say it) during this time. Our conviction and passion helps us to connect and empower others.\r\n\r\nWe are strongly connected to our inner truth and can analyze and understand our motivations around long-term goals. We investigate our own thought structures in a very realistic, focused way, and look to see what needs to be communicated next.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i> <em>18-24 degrees</em><i> of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

But what\'s really required is that we slow things down and be as realistic as we can possibly be.\r\n\r\nWe could be withdrawing or holding back a little, as we attempt to figure out what we want and need -- and what we can give. We are working towards ridding ourselves of self-delusion when it comes to partnerships, socializing and finances. In the process, we might feel disdain for inauthentic interactions and resent \"going through the motions\" on a social and/or mental level.\r\n\r\nOur goal here is to make more connections aligned with our own truth. Relationships built on weak foundations may not survive, but stronger ones can be improved and strengthened. Financial matters might be stressful for the time being; this forces us into a position of conservation and moderation. As best as you can, find your inner balance with this -- and on an external level with others.\r\n\r\nThink back to <strong>late Dec., 2017</strong>, when Venus was conjunct Saturn in <strong>Capricorn</strong>. With Venus opposing Saturn now, we can start to see the fruits of the seeds that were planted back then. So: What were the seeds? What are the fruits?\r\n\r\nIn other words: What has emerged since late December, in regards to who and what you value? We are also now more aware of what we have (and haven\'t) learned since then... Do you like what you see? Is there room for more learning, more integration?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>5-11 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 9:39am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until next week, Monday evening</strong> (May 28th). We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s thus an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your very best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 27th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Saturday late morning for details).\r\n\r\nSaturday night/<strong>Sunday very early morning: </strong>for the next several hours, we enjoy familiar company and surroundings -- our home is our castle. (<span style=\"color: #993300;\">Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> trines Venus in <strong>Cancer at 2:55am EDT -- post at 12:55am EDT)</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early morning: </strong>we are invited to<strong> </strong>connect with others on a deep emotional level, and explore new points of views about our ability to make authentic connections. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">(Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> conjuncts Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio at 3:48am EDT -- post at 1:50am EDT)</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late afternoon: </strong>we are likely to experience a sense of ease and flow, but may need to slow down and allow our feelings to come through.

We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)\r\n\r\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are also a big part of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.\r\n\r\nIf there are no children around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the rest of today.

Do your best to use this intuitive time to make adjustments, slow things down a little, and find creative solutions that honor both drives.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

Last week saw the New Moon, on May 15th. \"Seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day dealings with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 29 degrees of <strong>Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio</strong>, or 0-3 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (May 22nd)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:48pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last Saturday (May 19th) on, it will remain strong until Thursday night. </strong>This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body.\r\n\r\nWe all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?\r\n\r\n<strong>Until Thursday night</strong>, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity?\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 29 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn,</strong> <strong>Cancer,</strong> or 0-4 degrees of <strong>Gemini, Aries, Aquarius </strong>or<strong> Leo</strong>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Pisces (the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late evening</strong>, <em>an opportune Mercury/Neptune aspect</em> becoming exact at 10:13pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Monday night on, it will remain strong until Thursday morning. </strong>This aspect gives us the opportunity to bring compassion and an intuitive approach to our thinking process.\r\n\r\nHaving faith and connecting to our Higher Selves will be of service to us at this time. Any artistic or spiritual endeavors are likely to do well at this time. Music might help us with our thinking process and ability to get things done.\r\n\r\nLet yourself be inspired! A book, a song, a movie, someone else\'s words… allow the Universe to speak to you. Open your mind to a higher vibration -- and remember, opportunities are openings... they aren\'t necessarily handed to us... we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <em>14-18 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

Of course, we could conceivably have it both ways:\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">How might a different view/approach of my intimate relationships impact my self-worth? Could I share from a place of loving and honoring myself, perhaps just 5% more than normal?</span> If I stepped way back from the canvas, what \"bigger picture\" would I see?\r\n\r\nWe generally feel quite optimistic at this time, perhaps overly so: The urge to grow and expand is strong, but we can overreach -- perhaps by overlooking critical details and thereby miscalculating. We might be inclined to exaggerate, then have a hard time putting our ideas and goals into practice. That said, we can also be extraordinarily funny and interesting at this time, especially in our one-on-one relationships :-)\r\n\r\nExpect a lot of talking and sharing -- and possibly some over-thinking or impulsive communication. Impatience is likely a side-effect of this aspect as well... As best as you can, take an \"observer\" position toward your mind: listen to your thoughts, catch yourself thinking.\r\n\r\nIn other words: as best as you can, practice listening, to yourself, to others, and to your body. Listening is an art form that makes it easier to tap into our own inner wisdom and our body\'s wisdom.\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 13-20 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </strong>or<strong> Aquarius</strong>?

We respond to problems or challenges with a spirited and enthusiastic confidence that is admirable. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">We truly believe in equal opportunities</span> and seem to be in love with life. When we express or experience competitiveness, or courage, it\'s easy to smile and accept these traits as positive, rather than being rubbed the wrong way.

As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early morning</strong>: <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">we become more aware that we need to find a balance between a compassionate approach towards our personal goals and being assertive in the world, versus our need to connect and collaborate with others.

On the other hand, this is a great time for connecting to music or spiritual endeavors -- and for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\nOur intuition is at an all-time high, as is our ability to explore our traumas and demons; we are also more able to resolve anything that is no longer empowering to us personally -- in particular, we can dissolve the fears that have kept us from deepening our relationships -- and this is also true on a collective level.\r\n\r\nGenerosity, compassion and faith will likely increase; we more readily and easily make personal sacrifices for what we see as the greater good. We have a deeper sense that all of us are part of the human family -- a sense of the unity that is possible between people, nations and all living things on this planet.\r\n\r\nThis can be a chance to increase our creativity, perceptiveness and empathy; it\'s a time to allow for things to unfold and for seeing the perfection in everything that is.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>13-19 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Scorpio, Pisces, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

We can feel really empowered by what we say (and how we say it) during this time. Our conviction and passion helps us to connect and empower others.\r\n\r\nWe are strongly connected to our inner truth and can analyze and understand our motivations around long-term goals. We investigate our own thought structures in a very realistic, focused way, and look to see what needs to be communicated next.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i> <em>18-24 degrees</em><i> of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

But what\'s really required is that we slow things down and be as realistic as we can possibly be.\r\n\r\nWe could be withdrawing or holding back a little, as we attempt to figure out what we want and need -- and what we can give. We are working towards ridding ourselves of self-delusion when it comes to partnerships, socializing and finances. In the process, we might feel disdain for inauthentic interactions and resent \"going through the motions\" on a social and/or mental level.\r\n\r\nOur goal here is to make more connections aligned with our own truth. Relationships built on weak foundations may not survive, but stronger ones can be improved and strengthened. Financial matters might be stressful for the time being; this forces us into a position of conservation and moderation. As best as you can, find your inner balance with this -- and on an external level with others.\r\n\r\nThink back to <strong>late Dec., 2017</strong>, when Venus was conjunct Saturn in <strong>Capricorn</strong>. With Venus opposing Saturn now, we can start to see the fruits of the seeds that were planted back then. So: What were the seeds? What are the fruits?\r\n\r\nIn other words: What has emerged since late December, in regards to who and what you value? We are also now more aware of what we have (and haven\'t) learned since then... Do you like what you see? Is there room for more learning, more integration?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>5-11 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 9:39am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until next week, Monday evening</strong> (May 28th). We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s thus an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your very best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 27th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Saturday late morning for details).\r\n\r\nSaturday night/<strong>Sunday very early morning: </strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">we enjoy connecting to people who are familiar to us; our home or family becomes our sanctuary. over the next several hours</span> (<span style=\"color: #993300;\">Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> trines Venus in <strong>Cancer at 2:55am EDT -- post at 12:55am EDT)</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early morning: </strong>we are invited to<strong> </strong>connect with others on a deep emotional level, and explore new points of views about our ability to make authentic connections. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">(Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> conjuncts Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio at 3:48am EDT -- post at 1:50am EDT)</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late afternoon: </strong>we are likely to experience a sense of ease and flow, but may need to slow down and allow our feelings to come through.

We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)\r\n\r\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are also a big part of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.\r\n\r\nIf there are no children around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the rest of today.

Do your best to use this intuitive time to make adjustments, slow things down a little, and find creative solutions that honor both drives.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.

Last week saw the New Moon, on May 15th. \"Seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day dealings with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 29 degrees of <strong>Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio</strong>, or 0-3 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (May 22nd)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:48pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last Saturday (May 19th) on, it will remain strong until Thursday night. </strong>This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body.\r\n\r\nWe all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?\r\n\r\n<strong>Until Thursday night</strong>, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity?\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 29 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn,</strong> <strong>Cancer,</strong> or 0-4 degrees of <strong>Gemini, Aries, Aquarius </strong>or<strong> Leo</strong>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Pisces (the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late evening</strong>, <em>an opportune Mercury/Neptune aspect</em> becoming exact at 10:13pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Monday night on, it will remain strong until Thursday morning. </strong>This aspect gives us the opportunity to bring compassion and an intuitive approach to our thinking process.\r\n\r\nHaving faith and connecting to our Higher Selves will be of service to us at this time. Any artistic or spiritual endeavors are likely to do well at this time. Music might help us with our thinking process and ability to get things done.\r\n\r\nLet yourself be inspired! A book, a song, a movie, someone else\'s words… allow the Universe to speak to you. Open your mind to a higher vibration -- and remember, opportunities are openings... they aren\'t necessarily handed to us... we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <em>14-18 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

Of course, we could conceivably have it both ways:\r\n\r\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">How might a different view/approach of my intimate relationships impact my self-worth? Could I share from a place of loving and honoring myself, perhaps just 5% more than normal?</span> If I stepped way back from the canvas, what \"bigger picture\" would I see?\r\n\r\nWe generally feel quite optimistic at this time, perhaps overly so: The urge to grow and expand is strong, but we can overreach -- perhaps by overlooking critical details and thereby miscalculating. We might be inclined to exaggerate, then have a hard time putting our ideas and goals into practice. That said, we can also be extraordinarily funny and interesting at this time, especially in our one-on-one relationships :-)\r\n\r\nExpect a lot of talking and sharing -- and possibly some over-thinking or impulsive communication. Impatience is likely a side-effect of this aspect as well... As best as you can, take an \"observer\" position toward your mind: listen to your thoughts, catch yourself thinking.\r\n\r\nIn other words: as best as you can, practice listening, to yourself, to others, and to your body. Listening is an art form that makes it easier to tap into our own inner wisdom and our body\'s wisdom.\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 13-20 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </strong>or<strong> Aquarius</strong>?

We respond to problems or challenges with a spirited and enthusiastic confidence that is admirable. <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">We truly believe in equal opportunities</span> and seem to be in love with life. When we express or experience competitiveness, or courage, it\'s easy to smile and accept these traits as positive, rather than being rubbed the wrong way.

Due to Jupiter\'s and Neptune\'s Station phases, <strong>we start to feel this aspect build from May 4th on, it will remain strong until July 15th. </strong>This brings the potential for deep, spiritual inspiration.\r\n\r\nExtravagance or exaggeration are possible during this time; routine is particularly unsatisfying, we easily detour from the practical path. On the other hand, this is a great time for connecting to music or spiritual endeavors -- and for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\nOur intuition is at an all-time high, as is our ability to explore our traumas and demons; we are also more able to resolve anything that is no longer empowering to us personally -- in particular, we can dissolve the fears that have kept us from deepening our relationships -- and this is also true on a collective level.\r\n\r\nGenerosity, compassion and faith will likely increase; we more readily and easily make personal sacrifices for what we see as the greater good. We have a deeper sense that all of us are part of the human family -- a sense of the unity that is possible between people, nations and all living things on this planet.\r\n\r\nThis can be a chance to increase our creativity, perceptiveness and empathy; it\'s a time to allow for things to unfold and for seeing the perfection in everything that is.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>13-19 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Scorpio, Pisces, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

We can feel really empowered by what we say (and how we say it) during this time. Our conviction and passion helps us to connect and empower others.\r\n\r\nWe are strongly connected to our inner truth and can analyze and understand our motivations around long-term goals. We investigate our own thought structures in a very realistic, focused way, and look to see what needs to be communicated next.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i> <em>18-24 degrees</em><i> of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

But what\'s really required is that we slow things down and be as realistic as we can possibly be.\r\n\r\nWe could be withdrawing or holding back a little, as we attempt to figure out what we want and need -- and what we can give. We are working towards ridding ourselves of self-delusion when it comes to partnerships, socializing and finances. In the process, we might feel disdain for inauthentic interactions and resent \"going through the motions\" on a social and/or mental level.\r\n\r\nOur goal here is to make more connections aligned with our own truth. Relationships built on weak foundations may not survive, but stronger ones can be improved and strengthened. Financial matters might be stressful for the time being; this forces us into a position of conservation and moderation. As best as you can, find your inner balance with this -- and on an external level with others.\r\n\r\nThink back to <strong>late Dec., 2017</strong>, when Venus was conjunct Saturn in <strong>Capricorn</strong>. With Venus opposing Saturn now, we can start to see the fruits of the seeds that were planted back then. So: What were the seeds? What are the fruits?\r\n\r\nIn other words: What has emerged since late December, in regards to who and what you value? We are also now more aware of what we have (and haven\'t) learned since then... Do you like what you see? Is there room for more learning, more integration?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>5-11 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 9:39am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until next week, Monday evening</strong> (May 28th). We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s thus an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your very best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 27th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Saturday late morning for details).\r\n\r\nSaturday night/<strong>Sunday very early morning: </strong><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">we enjoy connecting to people who are familiar to us; our home or family becomes our sanctuary. over the next several hours</span> (<span style=\"color: #993300;\">Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> trines Venus in <strong>Cancer at 2:55am EDT -- post at 12:55am EDT)</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early morning: </strong>we are invited to<strong> </strong>connect with others on a deep emotional level, and explore new points of views about our ability to make authentic connections. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">(Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> conjuncts Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio at 3:48am EDT -- post at 1:50am EDT)</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late afternoon: </strong>we are likely to experience a sense of ease and flow, but may need to slow down and allow our feelings to come through.

We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)\r\n\r\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are also a big part of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.\r\n\r\nIf there are no children around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the rest of today. Ask yourself: What am I most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, I could  let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a><strong> until 10:03pm EDT</strong>: we are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we feel a strong need to have fun and be creative or self-expressed.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, we want to explore deep, authentic -- even intimate -- connections to ourselves or others. Do your best to use this intuitive time to make adjustments, slow things down a little, and find creative solutions that honor both drives.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday late evening and Monday all day ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 10:03pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning</strong>; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact later this evening).\r\n\r\n***\r\n\r\nGET IT ALL!

Last week saw the New Moon, on May 15th. \"Seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day dealings with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 29 degrees of <strong>Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio</strong>, or 0-3 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (May 22nd)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:48pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last Saturday (May 19th) on, it will remain strong until Thursday night. </strong>This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body.\r\n\r\nWe all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?\r\n\r\n<strong>Until Thursday night</strong>, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity?\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 29 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn,</strong> <strong>Cancer,</strong> or 0-4 degrees of <strong>Gemini, Aries, Aquarius </strong>or<strong> Leo</strong>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Pisces (the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late evening</strong>, <em>an opportune Mercury/Neptune aspect</em> becoming exact at 10:13pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Monday night on, it will remain strong until Thursday morning. </strong>This aspect gives us the opportunity to bring compassion and an intuitive approach to our thinking process.\r\n\r\nHaving faith and connecting to our Higher Selves will be of service to us at this time. Any artistic or spiritual endeavors are likely to do well at this time. Music might help us with our thinking process and ability to get things done.\r\n\r\nLet yourself be inspired! A book, a song, a movie, someone else\'s words… allow the Universe to speak to you. Open your mind to a higher vibration -- and remember, opportunities are openings... they aren\'t necessarily handed to us... we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <em>14-18 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 23rd)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday late evening for details).\r\n\r\nTuesday night/<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Jupiter opposition</em> becomes exact at 1:54am EDT. <strong>We feel this aspect build from Monday; it will remain strong until Thursday evening.</strong>\r\n\r\nIt asks us to balance our personal values and resources against our authentic, emotional connections with others (and any resources we share with them). This could also show up as a need to balance what we <em>think</em> we need to own or have, with our desire for expansion within intimate relationships and shared resources.\r\n\r\nOf course, we could conceivably have it both ways -- here are some questions you can ask yourself, that might help with this: How might taking a different view of my intimate relationships impact my self-worth? Could I share from a place of self-love and self-honoring,  just 5% more than normal? If I stepped way back from the canvas, what \"bigger picture\" would I see?\r\n\r\nWe generally feel quite optimistic at this time, perhaps overly so: The urge to grow and expand is strong, but we can overreach -- perhaps by overlooking critical details and thereby miscalculating. We might be inclined to exaggerate, then have a hard time putting our ideas and goals into practice. That said, we can also be extraordinarily funny and interesting at this time, especially in our one-on-one relationships :-)\r\n\r\nExpect a lot of talking and sharing -- and possibly some over-thinking or impulsive communication. Impatience is likely a side-effect of this aspect as well... As best as you can, take an \"observer\" position toward your mind: listen to your thoughts, catch yourself thinking.\r\n\r\nIn other words: as best as you can, practice listening, to yourself, to others, and to your body. Listening is an art form that makes it easier to tap into our own inner wisdom and our body\'s wisdom.\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 13-20 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </strong>or<strong> Aquarius</strong>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly.

We respond to problems or challenges with a spirited and enthusiastic confidence that is admirable. We truly believe in equal opportunities and seem to be in love with life. When we express or experience competitiveness, or courage, it\'s easy to smile and accept these traits as positive, rather than being rubbed the wrong way. We generally have good mental and physical vitality during this transit.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>0-6 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Gemini, Aquarius, </i></b><i>or <b>Libra</b></i><i>? If so, you may feel more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Mars rules Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (May 24th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em> and<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> VoC</a> <strong>until 2:52am EDT</strong> (see Monday late evening and Wednesday late morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 2:52am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until Saturday late morning. </strong>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating -- and although these next two days are a great time for mediation, our need for peace (and aversion to direct conflict) could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might prefer.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able to see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early morning</strong>: we become more aware that we need to find a balance between two very different energies -- on the one hand,  taking a compassionate approach towards our personal goals, while being assertive in the world -- and on the other hand, our need to connect and collaborate with others. Ask yourself: what if taking a compassionate approach towards myself actually made for more fulfilling connections with others? <span style=\"color: #993300;\">(Moon in Libra opposes Chiron in Aries at 5:53am EDT -- post at 4am EDT)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning</strong>: starts out harmoniously, even though we feel an urge to make progress, and connect with others about our vision for the future. <span style=\"color: #ff00ff;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">(Moon in Libra trines Mars in Aquarius and Sun in Gemini at 8:48am EDT -- post at 6:50am EDT)</span></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday afternoon</strong>: we feel a need to stay within our safety zone while also connecting and collaborating -- stretch a little, and see if you can find creative ways to connect whilst honoring your need for safety and familiarity.

Due to Jupiter\'s and Neptune\'s Station phases, <strong>we start to feel this aspect build from May 4th on, it will remain strong until July 15th. </strong>This brings the potential for deep, spiritual inspiration.\r\n\r\nExtravagance or exaggeration are possible during this time; routine is particularly unsatisfying, we easily detour from the practical path. On the other hand, this is a great time for connecting to music or spiritual endeavors -- and for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\nOur intuition is at an all-time high, as is our ability to explore our traumas and demons; we are also more able to resolve anything that is no longer empowering to us personally -- in particular, we can dissolve the fears that have kept us from deepening our relationships -- and this is also true on a collective level.\r\n\r\nGenerosity, compassion and faith will likely increase; we more readily and easily make personal sacrifices for what we see as the greater good. We have a deeper sense that all of us are part of the human family -- a sense of the unity that is possible between people, nations and all living things on this planet.\r\n\r\nThis can be a chance to increase our creativity, perceptiveness and empathy; it\'s a time to allow for things to unfold and for seeing the perfection in everything that is.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>13-19 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Scorpio, Pisces, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>?

We can feel really empowered by what we say (and how we say it) during this time. Our conviction and passion helps us to connect and empower others.\r\n\r\nWe are strongly connected to our inner truth and can analyze and understand our motivations around long-term goals. We investigate our own thought structures in a very realistic, focused way, and look to see what needs to be communicated next.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i> <em>18-24 degrees</em><i> of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>?

Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments and find creative ways to work with the energies at play: On the one hand, as best as you can, collaborate with others and play nice, on the other hand, be authentic and truthful about what we want to build long-term.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday late afternoon until Saturday late morning ahead of time. (<span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Moon squares Pluto in Capricorn</span>).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (May 26th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 9:39am EDT</strong> (see Thursday very early morning and Friday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday very early morning</strong>,<em> a Venus/Saturn opposition</em> becomes exact at 2:40am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on, it will remain strong until next Monday evening (May 28th). </strong>This might be a time of relationship tests or trials: we may not be attracting the things and people that we want in our lives -- at least, not as easily as we were before this transit.\r\n\r\nThis can be eye-opening -- a signal to work on improving the \"ways\" (as well as the \"things\") that we bring to partnerships or to our finances. Doubts could be raised now. But what\'s really required is that we slow things down and be as realistic as we can possibly be.\r\n\r\nWe could be withdrawing or holding back a little, as we attempt to figure out what we want and need -- and what we can give. We are working towards ridding ourselves of self-delusion when it comes to partnerships, socializing and finances. In the process, we might feel disdain for inauthentic interactions and resent \"going through the motions\" on a social and/or mental level.\r\n\r\nOur goal here is to make more connections aligned with our own truth. Relationships built on weak foundations may not survive, but stronger ones can be improved and strengthened. Financial matters might be stressful for the time being; this forces us into a position of conservation and moderation. As best as you can, find your inner balance with this -- and on an external level with others.\r\n\r\nThink back to <strong>late Dec., 2017</strong>, when Venus was conjunct Saturn in <strong>Capricorn</strong>. With Venus opposing Saturn now, we can start to see the fruits of the seeds that were planted back then. So: What were the seeds? What are the fruits?\r\n\r\nIn other words: What has emerged since late December, in regards to who and what you value? We are also now more aware of what we have (and haven\'t) learned since then... Do you like what you see? Is there room for more learning, more integration?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>5-11 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 9:39am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until next week, Monday evening</strong> (May 28th). We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s thus an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your very best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 27th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Saturday late morning for details).\r\n\r\nSaturday night/<strong>Sunday very early morning: </strong>for the next several hours, we enjoy familiar company and surroundings -- our home is our castle. (<span style=\"color: #993300;\">Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> trines Venus in <strong>Cancer at 2:55am EDT -- post at 12:55am EDT)</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early morning: </strong>we are invited to<strong> </strong>connect with others on a deep emotional level, and explore new points of views about our ability to make authentic connections. <span style=\"color: #993300;\">(Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> conjuncts Jupiter in <strong>Scorpio at 3:48am EDT -- post at 1:50am EDT)</strong></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late afternoon: </strong>we are likely to experience a sense of ease and flow, but may need to slow down and allow our feelings to come through.

We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)\r\n\r\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are also a big part of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.\r\n\r\nIf there are no children around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the rest of today. Ask yourself: What am I most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, I could  let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a><strong> until 10:03pm EDT</strong>: we are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we feel a strong need to have fun and be creative or self-expressed.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, we want to explore deep, authentic -- even intimate -- connections to ourselves or others. Do your best to use this intuitive time to make adjustments, slow things down a little, and find creative solutions that honor both drives.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday late evening and Monday all day ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 10:03pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning</strong>; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact later this evening).\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\r\n<strong> GET IT ALL!

Last week saw the New Moon, on May 15th. \"Seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day dealings with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 29 degrees of <strong>Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio</strong>, or 0-3 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (May 22nd)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:48pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last Saturday (May 19th) on, it will remain strong until Thursday night. </strong>This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body.\r\n\r\nWe all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?\r\n\r\n<strong>Until Thursday night</strong>, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity?\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 29 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn,</strong> <strong>Cancer,</strong> or 0-4 degrees of <strong>Gemini, Aries, Aquarius </strong>or<strong> Leo</strong>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Pisces (the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late evening</strong>, <em>an opportune Mercury/Neptune aspect</em> becoming exact at 10:13pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Monday night on, it will remain strong until Thursday morning. </strong>This aspect gives us the opportunity to bring compassion and an intuitive approach to our thinking process.\r\n\r\nHaving faith and connecting to our Higher Selves will be of service to us at this time. Any artistic or spiritual endeavors are likely to do well at this time. Music might help us with our thinking process and ability to get things done.\r\n\r\nLet yourself be inspired! A book, a song, a movie, someone else\'s words… allow the Universe to speak to you. Open your mind to a higher vibration -- and remember, opportunities are openings... they aren\'t necessarily handed to us... we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <em>14-18 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 23rd)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday late evening for details).\r\n\r\nTuesday night/<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Jupiter opposition</em> becomes exact at 1:54am EDT. <strong>We feel this aspect build from Monday; it will remain strong until Thursday evening.</strong>\r\n\r\nIt asks us to balance our personal values and resources against our authentic, emotional connections with others (and any resources we share with them). This could also show up as a need to balance what we <em>think</em> we need to own or have, with our desire for expansion within intimate relationships and shared resources.\r\n\r\nOf course, we could conceivably have it both ways -- here are some questions you can ask yourself, that might help with this: How might taking a different view of my intimate relationships impact my self-worth? Could I share from a place of self-love and self-honoring,  just 5% more than normal? If I stepped way back from the canvas, what \"bigger picture\" would I see?\r\n\r\nWe generally feel quite optimistic at this time, perhaps overly so: The urge to grow and expand is strong, but we can overreach -- perhaps by overlooking critical details and thereby miscalculating. We might be inclined to exaggerate, then have a hard time putting our ideas and goals into practice. That said, we can also be extraordinarily funny and interesting at this time, especially in our one-on-one relationships :-)\r\n\r\nExpect a lot of talking and sharing -- and possibly some over-thinking or impulsive communication. Impatience is likely a side-effect of this aspect as well... As best as you can, take an \"observer\" position toward your mind: listen to your thoughts, catch yourself thinking.\r\n\r\nIn other words: as best as you can, practice listening, to yourself, to others, and to your body. Listening is an art form that makes it easier to tap into our own inner wisdom and our body\'s wisdom.\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 13-20 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </strong>or<strong> Aquarius</strong>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in <strong>Gemini, Virgo</strong> or <strong>Sagittarius</strong> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter of Sagittarius).</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 10:55am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 16 hours, <strong>until 2:52am EDT Thursday very early morning</strong>. Use this intuitive time to empower each other in regards to earthly issues and mutually support each other in practical ways.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday all day until Thursday very early morning ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late evening</strong>, <em>a harmonious Sun/Mars aspect</em> become exact at 10:39pm EDT; <strong>we started feeling this aspect on Friday (May 18th), it has been building since then and will remain strong until the evening of next Monday, May 28th. </strong>\r\n\r\nThis aspect lets us know that we could create connections that bring us a sense of community and belonging, if we were simply to bring conscious awareness to our actions, and create a vision of a future that supports all of us,. It also brings a flow of intellectual stimulation that we can easily discuss and share with others.\r\n\r\nWe have powerful stores of energy right now that we can draw upon when needed. We respond to problems or challenges with a spirited and enthusiastic confidence that is admirable. We truly believe in equal opportunities and seem to be in love with life. When we express or experience competitiveness, or courage, it\'s easy to smile and accept these traits as positive, rather than being rubbed the wrong way. We generally have good mental and physical vitality during this transit.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>0-6 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Gemini, Aquarius, </i></b><i>or <b>Libra</b></i><i>? If so, you may feel more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Mars rules Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (May 24th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em> and<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> VoC</a> <strong>until 2:52am EDT</strong> (see Monday late evening and Wednesday late morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 2:52am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until Saturday late morning. </strong>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating -- and although these next two days are a great time for mediation, our need for peace (and aversion to direct conflict) could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might prefer.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able to see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early morning</strong>: we become more aware that we need to find a balance between two very different energies -- on the one hand,  taking a compassionate approach towards our personal goals, while being assertive in the world -- and on the other hand, our need to connect and collaborate with others. Ask yourself: what if taking a compassionate approach towards myself actually made for more fulfilling connections with others?\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning</strong>: starts out harmoniously, even though we feel an urge to make progress, and connect with others about our vision for the future.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday afternoon</strong>: we feel a need to stay within our safety zone while also connecting and collaborating -- stretch a little, and see if you can find creative ways to connect whilst honoring your need for safety and familiarity. As best as you can, listen to your feeling-body and be kind with yourself and others, if your needs do not align perfectly with others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early evening</strong>: we are invited to make some adjustments in our lives and find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations. As best as you can, look for solid foundations under any long-term goals currently underway, and for ways to create win-win outcomes for one-on-one relationships.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (May 25)</strong>:<em> the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday morning</strong>, <em>a long-lasting, harmonious Jupiter/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:52am EDT (first one of the year). Due to Jupiter\'s and Neptune\'s Station phases, <strong>we start to feel this aspect build from May 4th on, it will remain strong until July 15th. </strong>This brings the potential for deep, spiritual inspiration.\r\n\r\nExtravagance or exaggeration are possible during this time; routine is particularly unsatisfying, we easily detour from the practical path. On the other hand, this is a great time for connecting to music or spiritual endeavors -- and for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\nOur intuition is at an all-time high, as is our ability to explore our traumas and demons; we are also more able to resolve anything that is no longer empowering to us personally -- in particular, we can dissolve the fears that have kept us from deepening our relationships -- and this is also true on a collective level.\r\n\r\nGenerosity, compassion and faith will likely increase; we more readily and easily make personal sacrifices for what we see as the greater good. We have a deeper sense that all of us are part of the human family -- a sense of the unity that is possible between people, nations and all living things on this planet.\r\n\r\nThis can be a chance to increase our creativity, perceptiveness and empathy; it\'s a time to allow for things to unfold and for seeing the perfection in everything that is.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>13-19 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Scorpio, Pisces, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more blessed by this aspect; this is also true for those of us with the Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Mercury/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 9:38am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on, it will remain strong until Sunday morning. </strong>Our words and our \"speaking\" are very grounded and realistic. We can feel really empowered by what we say (and how we say it) during this time. Our conviction and passion helps us to connect and empower others.\r\n\r\nWe are strongly connected to our inner truth and can analyze and understand our motivations around long-term goals. We investigate our own thought structures in a very realistic, focused way, and look to see what needs to be communicated next.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i> <em>18-24 degrees</em><i> of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be even more blessed by this aspect than those who do not; this is also true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Scorpio</i></b> <i>(Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo, Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 5:04pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 16.5 hours,<strong> until 9:39am EDT Saturday late morning</strong>. Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments and find creative ways to work with the energies at play: On the one hand, as best as you can, collaborate with others and play nice, on the other hand, be authentic and truthful about what we want to build long-term.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday late afternoon until Saturday late morning ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (May 26th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 9:39am EDT</strong> (see Thursday very early morning and Friday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday very early morning</strong>,<em> a Venus/Saturn opposition</em> becomes exact at 2:40am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on, it will remain strong until next Monday evening (May 28th). </strong>This might be a time of relationship tests or trials: we may not be attracting the things and people that we want in our lives -- at least, not as easily as we were before this transit.\r\n\r\nThis can be eye-opening -- a signal to work on improving the \"ways\" (as well as the \"things\") that we bring to partnerships or to our finances. Doubts could be raised now. But what\'s really required is that we slow things down and be as realistic as we can possibly be.\r\n\r\nWe could be withdrawing or holding back a little, as we attempt to figure out what we want and need -- and what we can give. We are working towards ridding ourselves of self-delusion when it comes to partnerships, socializing and finances. In the process, we might feel disdain for inauthentic interactions and resent \"going through the motions\" on a social and/or mental level.\r\n\r\nOur goal here is to make more connections aligned with our own truth. Relationships built on weak foundations may not survive, but stronger ones can be improved and strengthened. Financial matters might be stressful for the time being; this forces us into a position of conservation and moderation. As best as you can, find your inner balance with this -- and on an external level with others.\r\n\r\nThink back to <strong>late Dec., 2017</strong>, when Venus was conjunct Saturn in <strong>Capricorn</strong>. With Venus opposing Saturn now, we can start to see the fruits of the seeds that were planted back then. So: What were the seeds? What are the fruits?\r\n\r\nIn other words: What has emerged since late December, in regards to who and what you value? We are also now more aware of what we have (and haven\'t) learned since then... Do you like what you see? Is there room for more learning, more integration?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>5-11 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 9:39am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until next week, Monday evening</strong> (May 28th). We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s thus an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your very best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 27th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Saturday late morning for details).\r\n\r\nSaturday night/<strong>Sunday very early morning: </strong>for the next several hours, we enjoy familiar company and surroundings -- our home is our castle.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early morning: </strong>we are invited to<strong> </strong>connect with others on a deep emotional level, and explore new points of views about our ability to make authentic connections.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late afternoon: </strong>we are likely to experience a sense of ease and flow, but may need to slow down and allow our feelings to come through. A gentle approach is best. We feel good when coming from the heart and making deeper connections with others. Being open to receiving and going with the flow are key!\r\n\r\n<strong>A heads up for next Monday (May 28th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em><strong> until 6:29pm EDT</strong>. <strong>At 1:25pm EDT,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course</a>, that last for 5 hours, <strong>until 6:29pm EDT</strong>.

There will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: Monday all day until 10:03pm EDT; Wednesday late morning (for 16 hours) and Friday afternoon (for 16.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (May 21st)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 10:03pm EDT. </strong>With the Moon in <strong>Leo</strong>, we may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)\r\n\r\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are also a big part of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.\r\n\r\nIf there are no children around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the rest of today. Ask yourself: What am I most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, I could  let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a><strong> until 10:03pm EDT</strong>: we are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we feel a strong need to have fun and be creative or self-expressed.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, we want to explore deep, authentic -- even intimate -- connections to ourselves or others. Do your best to use this intuitive time to make adjustments, slow things down a little, and find creative solutions that honor both drives.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday late evening and Monday all day ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 10:03pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning</strong>; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact later this evening).\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\r\n<strong> GET IT ALL!

Last week saw the New Moon, on May 15th. \"Seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day dealings with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 29 degrees of <strong>Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio</strong>, or 0-3 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (May 22nd)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:48pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last Saturday (May 19th) on, it will remain strong until Thursday night. </strong>This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body.\r\n\r\nWe all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?\r\n\r\n<strong>Until Thursday night</strong>, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity?\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 29 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn,</strong> <strong>Cancer,</strong> or 0-4 degrees of <strong>Gemini, Aries, Aquarius </strong>or<strong> Leo</strong>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Pisces (the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late evening</strong>, <em>an opportune Mercury/Neptune aspect</em> becoming exact at 10:13pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Monday night on, it will remain strong until Thursday morning. </strong>This aspect gives us the opportunity to bring compassion and an intuitive approach to our thinking process.\r\n\r\nHaving faith and connecting to our Higher Selves will be of service to us at this time. Any artistic or spiritual endeavors are likely to do well at this time. Music might help us with our thinking process and ability to get things done.\r\n\r\nLet yourself be inspired! A book, a song, a movie, someone else\'s words… allow the Universe to speak to you. Open your mind to a higher vibration -- and remember, opportunities are openings... they aren\'t necessarily handed to us... we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <em>14-18 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 23rd)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday late evening for details).\r\n\r\nTuesday night/<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Jupiter opposition</em> becomes exact at 1:54am EDT. <strong>We feel this aspect build from Monday; it will remain strong until Thursday evening.</strong>\r\n\r\nIt asks us to balance our personal values and resources against our authentic, emotional connections with others (and any resources we share with them). This could also show up as a need to balance what we <em>think</em> we need to own or have, with our desire for expansion within intimate relationships and shared resources.\r\n\r\nOf course, we could conceivably have it both ways -- here are some questions you can ask yourself, that might help with this: How might taking a different view of my intimate relationships impact my self-worth? Could I share from a place of self-love and self-honoring,  just 5% more than normal? If I stepped way back from the canvas, what \"bigger picture\" would I see?\r\n\r\nWe generally feel quite optimistic at this time, perhaps overly so: The urge to grow and expand is strong, but we can overreach -- perhaps by overlooking critical details and thereby miscalculating. We might be inclined to exaggerate, then have a hard time putting our ideas and goals into practice. That said, we can also be extraordinarily funny and interesting at this time, especially in our one-on-one relationships :-)\r\n\r\nExpect a lot of talking and sharing -- and possibly some over-thinking or impulsive communication. Impatience is likely a side-effect of this aspect as well... As best as you can, take an \"observer\" position toward your mind: listen to your thoughts, catch yourself thinking.\r\n\r\nIn other words: as best as you can, practice listening, to yourself, to others, and to your body. Listening is an art form that makes it easier to tap into our own inner wisdom and our body\'s wisdom.\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 13-20 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </strong>or<strong> Aquarius</strong>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in <strong>Gemini, Virgo</strong> or <strong>Sagittarius</strong> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter of Sagittarius).</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 10:55am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 16 hours, <strong>until 2:52am EDT Thursday very early morning</strong>. Use this intuitive time to empower each other in regards to earthly issues and mutually support each other in practical ways.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday all day until Thursday very early morning ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late evening</strong>, <em>a harmonious Sun/Mars aspect</em> become exact at 10:39pm EDT; <strong>we started feeling this aspect on Friday (May 18th), it has been building since then and will remain strong until the evening of next Monday, May 28th. </strong>\r\n\r\nThis aspect lets us know that we could create connections that bring us a sense of community and belonging, if we were simply to bring conscious awareness to our actions, and create a vision of a future that supports all of us,. It also brings a flow of intellectual stimulation that we can easily discuss and share with others.\r\n\r\nWe have powerful stores of energy right now that we can draw upon when needed. We respond to problems or challenges with a spirited and enthusiastic confidence that is admirable. We truly believe in equal opportunities and seem to be in love with life. When we express or experience competitiveness, or courage, it\'s easy to smile and accept these traits as positive, rather than being rubbed the wrong way. We generally have good mental and physical vitality during this transit.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>0-6 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Gemini, Aquarius, </i></b><i>or <b>Libra</b></i><i>? If so, you may feel more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Mars rules Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (May 24th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em> and<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> VoC</a> <strong>until 2:52am EDT</strong> (see Monday late evening and Wednesday late morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 2:52am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until Saturday late morning. </strong>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating -- and although these next two days are a great time for mediation, our need for peace (and aversion to direct conflict) could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might prefer.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able to see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early morning</strong>: we become more aware that we need to find a balance between two very different energies -- on the one hand,  taking a compassionate approach towards our personal goals, while being assertive in the world -- and on the other hand, our need to connect and collaborate with others. Ask yourself: what if taking a compassionate approach towards myself actually made for more fulfilling connections with others?\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning</strong>: starts out harmoniously, even though we feel an urge to make progress, and connect with others about our vision for the future.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday afternoon</strong>: we feel a need to stay within our safety zone while also connecting and collaborating -- stretch a little, and see if you can find creative ways to connect whilst honoring your need for safety and familiarity. As best as you can, listen to your feeling-body and be kind with yourself and others, if your needs do not align perfectly with others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early evening</strong>: we are invited to make some adjustments in our lives and find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations. As best as you can, look for solid foundations under any long-term goals currently underway, and for ways to create win-win outcomes for one-on-one relationships.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (May 25)</strong>:<em> the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday morning</strong>, <em>a long-lasting, harmonious Jupiter/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:52am EDT (first one of the year). Due to Jupiter\'s and Neptune\'s Station phases, <strong>we start to feel this aspect build from May 4th on, it will remain strong until July 15th. </strong>This brings the potential for deep, spiritual inspiration.\r\n\r\nExtravagance or exaggeration are possible during this time; routine is particularly unsatisfying, we easily detour from the practical path. On the other hand, this is a great time for connecting to music or spiritual endeavors -- and for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\nOur intuition is at an all-time high, as is our ability to explore our traumas and demons; we are also more able to resolve anything that is no longer empowering to us personally -- in particular, we can dissolve the fears that have kept us from deepening our relationships -- and this is also true on a collective level.\r\n\r\nGenerosity, compassion and faith will likely increase; we more readily and easily make personal sacrifices for what we see as the greater good. We have a deeper sense that all of us are part of the human family -- a sense of the unity that is possible between people, nations and all living things on this planet.\r\n\r\nThis can be a chance to increase our creativity, perceptiveness and empathy; it\'s a time to allow for things to unfold and for seeing the perfection in everything that is.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>13-19 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Scorpio, Pisces, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more blessed by this aspect; this is also true for those of us with the Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Mercury/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 9:38am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on, it will remain strong until Sunday morning. </strong>Our words and our \"speaking\" are very grounded and realistic. We can feel really empowered by what we say (and how we say it) during this time. Our conviction and passion helps us to connect and empower others.\r\n\r\nWe are strongly connected to our inner truth and can analyze and understand our motivations around long-term goals. We investigate our own thought structures in a very realistic, focused way, and look to see what needs to be communicated next.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i> <em>18-24 degrees</em><i> of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be even more blessed by this aspect than those who do not; this is also true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Scorpio</i></b> <i>(Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo, Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 5:04pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 16.5 hours,<strong> until 9:39am EDT Saturday late morning</strong>. Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments and find creative ways to work with the energies at play: On the one hand, as best as you can, collaborate with others and play nice, on the other hand, be authentic and truthful about what we want to build long-term.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday late afternoon until Saturday late morning ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (May 26th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 9:39am EDT</strong> (see Thursday very early morning and Friday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday very early morning</strong>,<em> a Venus/Saturn opposition</em> becomes exact at 2:40am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on, it will remain strong until next Monday evening (May 28th). </strong>This might be a time of relationship tests or trials: we may not be attracting the things and people that we want in our lives -- at least, not as easily as we were before this transit.\r\n\r\nThis can be eye-opening -- a signal to work on improving the \"ways\" (as well as the \"things\") that we bring to partnerships or to our finances. Doubts could be raised now. But what\'s really required is that we slow things down and be as realistic as we can possibly be.\r\n\r\nWe could be withdrawing or holding back a little, as we attempt to figure out what we want and need -- and what we can give. We are working towards ridding ourselves of self-delusion when it comes to partnerships, socializing and finances. In the process, we might feel disdain for inauthentic interactions and resent \"going through the motions\" on a social and/or mental level.\r\n\r\nOur goal here is to make more connections aligned with our own truth. Relationships built on weak foundations may not survive, but stronger ones can be improved and strengthened. Financial matters might be stressful for the time being; this forces us into a position of conservation and moderation. As best as you can, find your inner balance with this -- and on an external level with others.\r\n\r\nThink back to <strong>late Dec., 2017</strong>, when Venus was conjunct Saturn in <strong>Capricorn</strong>. With Venus opposing Saturn now, we can start to see the fruits of the seeds that were planted back then. So: What were the seeds? What are the fruits?\r\n\r\nIn other words: What has emerged since late December, in regards to who and what you value? We are also now more aware of what we have (and haven\'t) learned since then... Do you like what you see? Is there room for more learning, more integration?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>5-11 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 9:39am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until next week, Monday evening</strong> (May 28th). We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s thus an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your very best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 27th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Saturday late morning for details).\r\n\r\nSaturday night/<strong>Sunday very early morning: </strong>for the next several hours, we enjoy familiar company and surroundings -- our home is our castle.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early morning: </strong>we are invited to<strong> </strong>connect with others on a deep emotional level, and explore new points of views about our ability to make authentic connections.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late afternoon: </strong>we are likely to experience a sense of ease and flow, but may need to slow down and allow our feelings to come through. A gentle approach is best. We feel good when coming from the heart and making deeper connections with others. Being open to receiving and going with the flow are key!\r\n\r\n<strong>A heads up for next Monday (May 28th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em><strong> until 6:29pm EDT</strong>. <strong>At 1:25pm EDT,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course</a>, that last for 5 hours, <strong>until 6:29pm EDT</strong>.

Uranus is an outer planet that takes a long time to go around the Sun; the last time it moved through Taurus was between June 1934 and May 1942; before that, it was from July 1850 - March 1859.\r\n\r\nBefore we look at those periods of history, let’s talk briefly about the themes of Uranus in Taurus, so we can spot those “rhymes” if they occur. <em>What can we expect when disruptive Uranus moves through earthy <strong>Taurus</strong>?</em> Well, for one thing, it would be wise to get comfortable with being uncomfortable and relaxed with being surprised.\r\n\r\nIf we were only allowed one word to describe what Uranus does, it would be \"disruption\". It\'s all about progress, change -- but not necessarily gradual, continuous amendment of the old -- this is more like breaking down and uprooting the \"old\" structures.\r\n\r\nThis is the planet of “vision”, and like all visionaries, it favors a revolution as the quickest way to realize the \"ideal future state\". It moves toward more freedom -- you could say the higher vibration of Uranus seeks freedom for all, while a lower vibration says \"I need to be free to do what I want, and the hell with you\".\r\n\r\nUranus listens to a higher calling -- a Divine Mind -- and can thus be detached from emotion and “human feeling”. Depending on the vision being pursued, this can be highly beneficial, or very dangerous.\r\n\r\nUranus urges everyone to wake up and smell the coffee, then join together to make coffee like the world has never seen and make sure that nobody ever has to drink mediocre coffee ever again.\r\n\r\nSome Uranian keywords: Technology, Innovation, Discovery, Novelty, Ingenuity, Originality, and Astrology.\r\n\r\nUranus has two major modes: Reactive and Intuitive. Look over that list of keywords again and notice how those modes would play out for each one -- \"reactive\" would lead pretty much every time to harm, \"intuitive\" to life-giving breakthroughs.\r\n\r\nAs you can probably tell, Uranus celebrates originality and individuality; it loves the rebels and revolutionaries who rally against the \"establishment\" and their established thought -- or who at least put a new spin on old things. It can also go overboard and end up steering an erratic course onto the rocks.\r\n\r\n<em>So much for Uranus -- what of <strong>Taurus</strong>? </em>Taurus is connected to...\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>ALREADY A MEMBER?

This would include the practical uses we make of it -- first and foremost, for growing our food, but also for ownership and stewardship of its land and resources. It also covers our most personal \"resources\", i.e. our talents, and our values. Just as the land brings forth life, Taurus is also the sign of fertility; just as we honor the material reality of the planet, Taurus calls on us to honor our bodies.\r\n\r\nAmong other things, Taurus rules the following: farming, finance, high-quality food, comfort, sensuality, beauty, the voice (e.g. singing), the five senses, the practical and useful, and producing something with your hands (for example, putting up a building is very Taurean).\r\n\r\nNow that we’ve covered the major themes of Uranus and Taurus, let’s take a look at those two historical periods.\r\n\r\nWhat do we see when we look at these turbulent times through the lens of Astrology? Are there any Uranian themes we see running through them? And how does that Taurean influence play out? Let’s look at July 1850 - March 1859 first, then move on to the period between June 1934 and May 1942).\r\n\r\nWagner and Verdi fused classical themes with contemporary music to create Grand Opera. Charles Dickens and Tolstoy revolutionize the novel, while Walt Whitman\'s \"Leaves of Grass\" changes poetry forever.\r\n\r\nFlorence Nightingale becomes a pioneer of modern nursing and profoundly affects people\'s perceptions of women and their capabilities.\r\n\r\nStronger, cheaper steel is invented, along with the Otis Elevator – people begin to envision buildings so tall, they would be called “skyscrapers” (Taurus rules the making of buildings).\r\n\r\nGregor Mendel begins studying genetics, Neanderthal remains are discovered, and Darwin presents his Theory of Evolution.\r\n\r\nThe Financial Panic of 1857 closed the banks for two months, while out West, gold fever gripped the nation; and the Trans-Atlantic cable sent a telegram across the ocean in real-time.\r\n\r\nMany things we now take for granted were invented in this period, among others: gasoline, mass media (the first major newspapers were published in London), pencils with attached erasers, blue jeans, potato chips….\r\n\r\nNow let’s look at the period from June 1934 – May 1942.\r\n\r\nThis more recent Uranus/Taurus transit was one of tremendous upheaval, with much undoing of old structures. In the US, the \"New Deal\" accelerated and radically changed how government worked, including the introduction of \"Social Security\". And of course, having gained power in 1933, the Nazi party swept away Germany\'s \"Weimar Republic\" and used new technologies to realize Hitler’s murderous vision.\r\n\r\nMany inventions came to light during this time, some that would change the course of human history in very fundamental ways: antibiotics (for the first time, humans could \"beat\", not just \"treat\", disease). If you are reading this on a “programmable computer” of any kind (smartphone, PC, etc.), its ancestor was created at this time. Work began on the first nuclear weapons.\r\n\r\nFrank Lloyd Wright built \"Fallingwater\", and the first entirely glass-covered building went up in Illinois (note the advances in building techniques). The 1936 Berlin Olympics became the first live television event (and viewers could watch African-American Jesse Owens win four gold medals). A positive vision of a \"superman\" was also advanced in comic books and literature: Superman, Batman, and Captain America went on their first adventures. Perhaps some of those stories were written in the ballpoint pen that was rapidly replacing the old \"fountain\" pens.\r\n\r\nYou could drive a car with an automatic transmission down the first modern highway in America (the Pennsylvania Turnpike), perhaps burning some of the oil recently discovered in Saudi Arabia. If you drove all the way to California, you could grab a burger and fries at a new restaurant called \"McDonald\'s\", where two brothers pursued their vision of “fast food” by applying Henry Ford\'s production line techniques to food preparation.\r\n\r\nAs you can see, the pace of change in both periods is pretty staggering – and certainly, the world has not slowed down any since then – so what areas of life should we look at for a new vision to emerge in?\r\n\r\nFirstly, we can expect lots of practical applications for technologies, innovations and discoveries, especially those that came to light within the last 7 years (while Uranus was in Aries). People will be teeming with ideas to make life easier (or at least more comfortable) on a physical level -- this goes not just for humans, but for the planet and all its residents.\r\n\r\nFarming might also see tremendous change -- growing our own food could gain in appeal – perhaps with the emergence of new technologies that support us with food production and gardening.\r\n\r\nWe may get a wake-up call concerning the planet\'s condition, leading us to change how we view it (and use its resources). In general, this long transit builds our awareness of physical matter and how we treat both our bodies and the only planet our human bodies can live on without an air-tight suit.\r\n\r\nOur attention is also directed to the ways we spend our money and who looks after it for us (banks and the financial system). Will the cryptocurrencies that have gained tremendous ground over the last 7 years profoundly disrupt the banking “world”?\r\n\r\nFinally, we clearly have a responsibility to be very careful which visions we value and pursue (and which visionaries we listen to) – will we reap the benefits of that intuitive Uranian mode, or come from the reactive, fear-based mode that can cause such harm to ourselves, each other, and our planet? It’s up to us to decide in every moment.\r\n\r\n[/wcm_restrict]\r\n\r\nOf course, you are a unique individual, having a unique experience in this ever-unfolding universe -- so this major shift will affect you uniquely.

Mars enters its shadow phase on Saturday, and Mercury changes signs from Aries to Taurus on Sunday.\r\n\r\nThere will be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: Tuesday late evening (for almost 1 hour), Friday early morning (for a little over 3.5 hours), and Sunday afternoon (for 10 minutes).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (May 7th)</strong>:<em> the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking</em> <strong><em>Aquarius</em> all day</strong>. It will journey there <b>until Tuesday late evening. </b>The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount. With this Moon placement we can feel already the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Monday late evening).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:52am EDT.<strong> We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday afternoon (May 5th) on, it will remain strong until this Wednesday afternoon (May 9th). </strong>This aspect creates some tension in our lives.

We are being asked to<b> </b>find creative solutions and be completely honest with ourselves and others. The best way to achieve this is by the continual practice of self-care and self-nurturing.\r\n\r\nWe have tremendous focus and drive right now, which can tip into obsession. With this aspect an all-or-nothing attitude is very likely. Choose love over fear whenever possible. Not many people enjoy being second-guessed all the time, yet that is something that we are inclined to do now.\r\n\r\nHowever, our determination to get to the bottom of any matter, to rip away falsehoods and expose true motives, can be used for good if we employ it in our work, for example, in regards to investigations or research. This is an opportunity to learn to harness our intense mental energy and apply it productively. We are also capable of very hard work, focus and effort now.\r\n\r\nWe have a great love of debate, but should be careful that we don\'t overpower others with our strong opinions, attempting to \"convert\" them to our frame of mind, or treat regular exchanges of opinion as battlegrounds. Connect to yourself and others, empowering yourself/them with what you feel passionate about.\r\n\r\nChoose your words/thoughts carefully, from a deeply connected and empowered place rather than from a place of fear, self-protection or a need for survival.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>18-24 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early evening</strong>, a challenging Venus/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 5:58pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday morning (May 5th) on, it will remain strong until this Thursday morning (May 10th).</strong> We can be confused, unrealistic, or overly idealistic around love and money -- so it\'s best to wait until the transit is over, before making big moves in these areas -- if you make long-term financial investments, buy or sell big-ticket items, or start brand-new relationships, it\'s likely you will not see things as they truly are.\r\n\r\nWe are actually being asked to have faith; to let our intuition guide us in money and love -- if we are able to do this, we will grow through it. As best as you can, be compassionate with yourself and others during these 5 days -- it might also help to know that relationships and endeavors of a spiritual or artistic nature can move forward at this time.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>13-19 degrees</em><span class=\"s1\"><i> of</i> <b><i>Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune rules Pisces).</i></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 10:09pm EDT</strong>, <em>the last Quarter Moon in 17.5 degrees of <strong>Aquarius</strong></em> becomes exact. The Moon in <strong>Aquarius</strong> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in <strong>Taurus</strong>. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Aquarius last Sunday morning (May 6th). </strong><span class=\"s2\"><i> </i>This may bring challenges; however, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.</span>\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to May 15th\'s New Moon in <strong>Taurus</strong>. With the last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us to take a look at what needs to be completed. What -- if anything -- needs last-minute adjustments? What did you discover since April 15th? What did it mean for you? What actions could shift the things you seeded or started in mid-late April?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 15-20 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Aquarius, Leo </strong>or<strong> Scorpio</strong>? If so, you will feel this month\'s last Quarter Moon quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in <strong>Leo </strong>or<strong> Cancer</strong> (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (May 8th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking</em> <strong><em>Aquarius</em> until 11:11pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for more details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late evening</strong>, <em>a Sun/Jupiter opposition</em> becomes exact at 8:39pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday morning (May 5th) on, it will remain strong until this Friday evening (May 11th). </strong> This aspect can bring an opportunity to open up our consciousness through other people. As best as you can, expand your perspectives about intimate relationships, other people\'s resources and be open to bringing some optimism to those areas of your life.\r\n\r\nThe urge to grow and expand is strong, but we might overreach -- and hasty actions could backfire. As best as you can, don’t expect too much from others or yourself; avoid over-promising, and create deeper connections whenever you can. Use humor :-)\r\n\r\nProjects or ambitions may come to a culmination point, or undergo surprising changes; ask yourself: What insights am I receiving? Where can I go from here? What if I walked in their shoes, just for a moment? Where would I walk to?\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in 15-22 degrees</em> of <b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more affected by this opposition.This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 10:29pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for almost an hour, <strong>until 11:11pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC,</a> as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday late evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 11:11pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters creative, sensitive <strong>Pisces</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Friday morning. </strong> This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 9th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive</em><strong><em> Pisces</em> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:36pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning (May 8th) on, it will remain strong until Thursday morning (May 10th). </strong>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed in order to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\nThis aspect is a fork in the road. We could take the path of learning about inner dialog and sharing ourselves with others by being open and curious -- or, we could take the path that leads to increased understanding of intimacy and resources that are shared with others.\r\n\r\nEither way, we can develop a new perspective on how to approach these things. Awareness is key with this aspect: What is needed? How can we serve the broader view?\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-19 degrees of <b>Gemini </b>or<b> Scorpio</b>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in<b> Taurus, Libra </b>or <b>Sagittarius</b> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (May 10th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive</em> <strong>Pisces all day</strong> (see Tuesday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early morning,</strong> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday late morning,</strong> a nice feeling of ease and an ability to trust and connect deeply with others. As best as you can, trust your intuitive sensing right now, allow whatever comes up to be beneficial for you.\r\n\r\nThursday early afternoon: we feel a need to go within -- and also want to connect and learn from others. This tension clearly invites us to stretch a little and resolve it through creative solutions -- the key here is to listen to our intuition, so we don\'t drive ourselves or others crazy.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday afternoon: </strong>we get an opportunity to be very present; also to connect with others and share practical advice, or simply enjoy \"the good things in life\". As best as you can, bring a sense of flow and faith to who you are being, and allow yourself to slow down and connect with nature.\r\n\r\nThursday late afternoon, we have the opportunity to be guided by inspiration, and fully commit to a project or task that might serve us long-term. As best as you can, listen and trust to the subtle messages in your heart, that stir you towards success.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (May 11th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive</em> <strong>Pisces</strong> <strong>until 8:40am EDT</strong> (see Tuesday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 5:02am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for a little over 3.5 hours, <strong>until 8:40am EDT. </strong><span class=\"s1\">If you are awake during this intuitive time, take the opportunity to go within and listen to your subtle intuitive \"voice\" -- your heart -- then focus anew on your long-term goals.</span>\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday morning ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 8:40am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters pioneering, fast-paced <strong>Aries,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday afternoon</strong>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday evening</strong>, <em>a harmonious Sun/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 7:10pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning (May 8th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening (May 14th). </strong>This aspect brings a sense of focus and empowerment to our long-term goals. We have the ability to look at everything in a very down-to-earth manner right now; through our understanding of \"what is and what is not\", we can make more powerful choices.\r\n\r\nWe can also deepen our understanding of our own motivations and look closely at where we are heading. This aspect also brings an intensity and a depth to our conscious awareness; therefore this is also a great time to transform our lives, stripping away anything -- even people -- that no longer connect with who we are.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How can I live more authentically? Is there anything holding me back? What fears and attachments could I release now, that no longer serve my evolution? Am I willing to let them go, just for now, and just as best as I can?\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of <b>Taurus, Capricorn</b> or <b>Virgo</b>? If so, you will be even more blessed by this aspect than those who do not; this is also true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in <b>Leo </b>or <b>Scorpio</b> (the Sun being the ruler of Leo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late evening, </strong><em>the Balsamic Moon phase begins, when the Moon reaches 9.5 degrees of <strong>Aries. </strong> This lasts <b>until Tuesday morning</b>, when the New Moon in <b>Taurus </b>becomes exact (for those of you who are impatiently waiting for my New Moon video, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here</a> after May 10th). We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our intuition.</em>\r\n\r\nFor some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes. This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday night</strong> (Saturday very early morning), <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:05am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening (May 10th) on, it will remain strong until Saturday evening (May 12th). </strong>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice… so we need to develop inner awareness.\r\n\r\nFear of disappointment is causing some tension. Our inner need for growth requires honesty about what is causing those fears -- most likely our own lack of good boundaries and self-esteem. Watch out for getting pulled into overly burdensome roles in other people\'s lives, because you feel it is required of you, this can often be a path into \"control issues\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, carefully examine your motivations and self-image: How do you feel about your ability to communicate, share yourself and connect on a deep emotional level? What role does fear play in all of this?\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-22 degrees Gemini or<b> Capricorn</b>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in <b>Taurus, Libra </b>or <b>Scorpio</b> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (May 12th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced</em> <strong>Aries</strong> <strong>all day</strong> (see Friday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday late morning</strong>,<em> a challenging Mercury/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 9:30am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday (May 10th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening (May 14th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">Due to the recent Mercury Retrograde phase, we get to experience this aspect several times; this is the third and last pass within the last 10 weeks. </span>\r\n\r\n<span class=\"s1\">This gives us a chance to address our approach toward any misunderstandings. </span><span class=\"s1\">This aspect<i> </i></span><span class=\"s2\">brings some juicy energy to our conversations. This is a chance to have some discussions that have been overdue. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">As best as you can, make it a productive discussion that serves you and others -- a win-win -- otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards. Also, watch out on the road for some crazy drivers… rushing might not necessarily get you there faster ;-) </span></p>\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in the following: 25-29 degrees of<strong> Aries, </strong><strong>Capricorn</strong>,<strong> Libra, Cancer,</strong> or 0-1 degree of <b>Taurus, Aquarius, Scorpio </b>or<b> Leo</b>?<span class=\"s3\"><i> </i></span><span class=\"s2\"><i>If so, you may feel more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries)</i></span>\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Saturday, </strong><em>Mars enters its 6.5-week shadow phase, when it reaches 28.5 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong>. </em><span class=\"s1\">This precedes the retrograde phase, which will begin on June 26th in 9 degrees of <b>Aquarius</b> (more on that in 6 weeks).</span>\r\n\r\nSo what is the \"shadow phase\"? To explain this, I\'ll quickly cover what happens when a planet \"stations\" and then goes “retrograde\".\r\n\r\nRelative to us on Earth, a planet sometimes looks like it is slowing down (\"stationing\"), then stopping. After being still for a while, it actually appears to go \"backward\" through the sky (this is the \"retrograde\" phase). It\'s a little like catching up to a car on the highway, driving exactly alongside it for a moment, then passing it and pulling ahead.\r\n\r\nAt first, retrograde movement is slow, but the planet gradually reaches its normal pace through the sky -- except it\'s going backward. The process then reverses itself: the backward pace slows, the planet crawls to a \"halt\", then it starts to move forward again (i.e. it goes direct). In our car analogy, it\'s like the car you just passed gradually speeds up and passes you again.\r\n\r\nThere are also two \"shadow\" phases -- during these, the planet travels over a part of the sky it will later \"revisit\". The first \"shadow\" comes before the planet moves backward; the second comes when the planet starts to catch back up (after going direct).\r\n\r\nIt\'s like you went hiking and left something behind at camp. If you went back to get it, you\'d have some catching up to do, and would see the same scenery twice or more. Mars\'s shadow phases usually last 6-7 weeks before and after the Retrograde phase. Pay attention to what you do or pursue during this time; you may need to revisit or redo them during the Retrograde phase.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 13th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced</em> <strong>Aries until 2:15 EDT</strong> (see Friday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Uranus alignment in 29 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> becomes exact at 6:50am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday morning (May 11th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Tuesday (May 5th).  </strong><span class=\"s1\">With this alignment, an important insight is coming through, something new is preparing to enter consciousness – and we are getting the urge to move forward. We might experience some really unusual conversations. Our mind could be flooded with new information and ideas, and we most likely feel enthusiastic and excited by these fresh ideas and insights.</span>\r\n\r\nIt\'s a time when we could achieve real breakthroughs in the form of ideas, communications, and the mind in general — but coupled with the possibility of edginess and impatience toward those who don’t “get” our new insights. Nervousness, impulsivity and fidgeting could be a by-product of this alignment as well.\r\n\r\nComputers and electronics may suddenly become important. We\'ll likely have flashes of insight into our own mental workings, original thoughts, etc. As best as you can, and as much as you want to, stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body. That way, all that energy can move through you, without shaking you to the core ;-)\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 26-29 degrees of <b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn, </i></b><i>or 0-2 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </strong>or<strong> Aquarius</strong></i><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>  (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Uranus rules Aquarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 8:40am EDT</strong>, Mercury changes signs from<i> </i><span class=\"s1\"><i>enthusiastic, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> to steady, peaceful </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where it will journey<b> until <strong>May 29th</strong></b>.<b> For the next 3 weeks</b>, our thinking shifts gears: we want to connect to others in a realistic, down-to-earth way and we \"say it like it is\". We appreciate common sense; we rely on our senses when it comes to processing information.</span>\r\n\r\nA well-developed sense of color, smell, and touch are characteristic of this Mercury position, so as long as Mercury is in Taurus, we will be drawn towards the \"tasteful\" in the realm of the five senses. We are more likely to have a no-nonsense approach to decision-making, and our ideas are often very practical and useful at this time.\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to learning, we prefer demonstrations, concrete answers, and basic concepts for the next 3 weeks. We learn best when we see real-world uses for the theories we are trying to absorb. We simply process information better when we can personalize it (\"what use is it to me?\") and attach it to the practical world.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in <b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more talkative during this time. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you may need to slow down and “smell the roses” ;-)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 2:05pm EDT</strong>, we enter a brief <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 10 minutes, <strong>until 2:15pm EDT</strong>. <span class=\"s1\">Use this intuitive time to connect with people that can enthusiastically support your projects and share with them what you have going on. </span>As always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 2:15pm EDT</strong>,<em> the Moon enters steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Tuesday late afternoon</strong>. <span class=\"s1\">We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain.

In addition, there will be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: Monday late evening (for almost 12.5 hours), Thursday late evening (almost 1.5 hours) and Sunday late morning (1 hour).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (April 30th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </em><strong>Scorpio</strong> <b>until<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> Tuesday late morning. </span></b>We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. This makes it an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free.

We\'re not likely to be big fans of routine -- diversity and new adventures work best at this time -- we\'re also physically restless and need to burn that off with activity and physical exercise.\r\n\r\nWe tend to feel more open, optimistic and inspired -- but we also have a high degree of independence -- and taking these two influences together, this means we\'d rather inspire others to do things our way, as opposed to issuing or obeying orders. Inspiring others could come easier than normal, as we can see the bigger picture, leaving us confident that others will agree with us, once they see what we see.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, speak your truth without assuming that everyone is on the same page as you. Improvisation works well for us at this time, as we are spontaneous and love living on the edge -- just watch out you aren\'t overdoing or overstating things.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late evening,</strong> <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 10:24pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Tuesday early morning on, it will be strong until Wednesday evening. </strong>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, sort of awkward, and need to make a choice; we must develop inner awareness to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\nIt can be hard to see what we are actually responsible for in relationships, so we sometimes take on unnecessary responsibilities, to ensure the relationships continue. We may ask ourselves: \"Do people like me for myself, or for what I do for them?\" If you\'re confused on this point (or any point), as best as you can, keep choosing the \"better\" alternative and make adjustments as necessary.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>8-10 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus, Libra </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 2nd):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking <strong>Sagittarius</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday early morning, </strong>we are asked to balance our need to venture beyond our day-to-day mind with our desire for mentally stimulating encounters.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late morning, </strong>we experience a need for inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice.\r\n\r\nMaking this choice demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to mentally explore and go beyond what we already know — and on the other hand, the need to keep it real and connected to the physical plane.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday evening,</strong><em> </em>we may need to make some adjustments again. As best you can, honor both your need for adventure and exploration of life <i>and</i> your need to go within.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nYou may also feel a pull between introvert and extrovert, or simply fast and slow. Tune in for a moment and see if you need to take a break or at least slow down a little. As best as you can, be compassionate and kind to yourself.<span style=\"color: #993300;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (May 3rd):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking <strong>Sagittarius</strong></em> <strong>until 10:06pm EDT</strong> (see Tuesday late morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 8:50pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for almost 1.5 hours, <strong>until 10:06pm EDT. </strong>Use this intuitive time to connect with like-minded people and to learn something new about your unique self — explore, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday late evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 10:06pm</strong> <strong>EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters practical, accomplishment-oriented <strong>Capricorn,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday late morning. </strong>We tend to be more realistic, serious, cautious; this can support practical endeavors and financial matters.\r\n\r\nOur ambition surges and brings with it a need for structure and planning; when you add in the pragmatism this aspect supports, you can see how this could be a very productive time for business and long-term goals. Our reputation becomes very important to us.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can during this aspect, avoid \"should-ing\" on yourself. Take the pressure off, perhaps by saying \"I am doing the best I can and that\'s all I can ever do\" ;-)\r\n\r\nSaturn is the ruler of Capricorn; it is currently transiting through its own sign, making this a great time to take look at your long-term aspirations and anything that you would like to master over the next three years. It\'s also a great time to take a more serious look at our strategies for self-mastery.\r\n\r\nFor starters: Do you truly see \"what\'s so\" in your life (as opposed to what you merely wish it to be, or what you would like it to be, or where you see yourself going, etc)? What is actually so right now? Once you have a handle on where \"A\" is, it\'s easier to \"go from A to B\" -- whether \"B\" is self-mastery or standing on the mountaintop.\r\n\r\nAlso<strong> on Thursday</strong>, <em>Mercury\'s shadow phase ends</em>.<em> </em>As you may recall, on April 15th, when Mercury stationed direct, I mentioned Mercury shadow phases as well: If you want to buy, sell or ship big-ticket items, it\'s best to avoid the periods shortly before Mercury goes retrograde and after Mercury goes direct. This is especially true if the items are connected to transportation (cars, plane tickets, etc.) or communication (phone, computer, iPad, etc.)\r\n\r\nThe good news is, this shadow phase ends<b> </b>today (<strong>Thursday late afternoon, around 4:40pm EDT</strong>) when Mercury reaches 16º54\' of <b>Aries</b>; this means that we can finally go ahead and book those plane tickets -- or buy that new car or iPhone (or anything else communication- or transportation-related). We can also more easily take in new information, so teaching, sharing and learning will be more effective. <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/mercury-shadow-phases-and-retrogrades/\">Click here to read my blog on the subject</a>.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (May 4th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </em><strong>Capricorn</strong><strong> all day (</strong>see Thursday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late afternoon,</strong><em><strong> </strong></em>we experience a sense of maturity, and we have a need for making commitments towards ourselves and our long-term goals. For long-term success, focus on projects that require a realistic approach or a solid commitment.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late evening, </strong>we are in invited to make some inner adjustments. We feel uneasy or awkward and need to make a choice.\r\n\r\nMaking this choice demands we develop inner awareness around two very different urges: on the one hand, the desire to connect and share ourselves with others — and on the other, the need to accomplish something out there in the real world, and to be responsible and self-reliant.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (May 5th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in practical, accomplishment-oriented </em><strong>Capricorn</strong><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday morning</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Mercury/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 7:05am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday morning on, it will remain strong until Sunday morning. </strong>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed if we’re to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\nThis aspect is a fork in the road: Do we go after our personal goals? Or investigate on a deeper level what\'s been holding us back? Awareness is key with this aspect: What demands to be done? What would a broader view show us?

We definitely feel inspired. It’s also a great time to allow a sense of flow and faith in our financial standings.\r\n\r\nOur capacity for compassion (both toward ourselves and others) is quite strong, especially if we are able to acknowledge it. Dreams and reality find a way to work together now -- any spiritual or creative endeavors that are started during this time will most likely do very well -- and it feels great to donate time or money to favored causes.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nRemember that this is an \"opportunity\" -- it isn\'t just handed to us, we have to make it happen.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>14-18 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Cancer</i></b><i>?

Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount. This Moon placement also start the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Monday late evening -- May 7th).\r\n\r\n<strong>A heads-up for next Monday (May 7th):</strong> t<em>he Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking <strong>Aquarius</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Sunday late morning for details). <strong>Monday early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/ Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:52am EDT; and <strong>in the late afternoon</strong>, <em>a challenging Venus/ Neptune</em> aspect becomes exact at 5:58pm EDT.

What are you most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, you let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday night/</strong>Tuesday very early morning<strong>,</strong> <em>an opportune Mars/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:13am EDT.<strong> </strong><strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday evening (April 20th) on; it will be strong until Friday morning (April 27th). </strong>This aspect is an opportunity for us to tap into our optimism, enthusiasm, and sense of expansion. We are more likely to connect with others in an active and fun way.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe feel stronger, more assertive, and more straightforward -- and this goes over well with others. As with all opportunities in life, this one is not simply handed to us, we have to make something of it. What actions could you take right now, that would help create a deeper connection to others?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in <em>18-22 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Scorpio, </i></b><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>? </i><i>If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (April 24th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em><strong> until 4:40pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 12:40pm EDT,</strong> <i>Venus changes signs from steady, calm, sensual</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>to chatty, social, versatile</i> <b><i>Gemini.</i></b> Venus, the energy of love, “relating\" and finances will journey through Gemini <strong>until May 19th.</strong> For the next 3.5 weeks, we value mental stimulation and frequent changes of scenery in our love relationships.\r\n\r\nWe love connecting and sharing ourselves with others. As long as we don\'t get bored, we will stick around -- but as soon as we disengage mentally, we begin to thirst for interesting conversations with new people, in new places and/or situations. Love is playful and lighthearted for the next 3.5 weeks and humor plays a part in all our relationships.\r\n\r\nOur finances might fluctuate at this time, as we don\'t invest in anything for long enough to know whether it would have actually made a profit. That said, this sign-change actually favors financial transactions that benefit from rapidity, or from widely dispersed resources -- it\'s a great time for short-term investments.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, stay open-minded and flexible toward love and finances. Curiosity towards life and love is a great gift as Venus moves through Gemini -- you never know where things will go at this time — and if nothing else, that attitude makes it hard to be bored for even a second ;-)\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel more chatty for the next 3.5 weeks. Your heart will want to connect with friends and have several activities going all at once. Learning or teaching something new might be just the thing for you to do right now. If you are a</i> <b><i>Gemini</i></b> <i>Sun-sign or Rising-sign, you are going to have more love and beauty in your life for as long as Venus is in your sign</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 2:40pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 2 hours, <strong>until 4:40pm EDT</strong>. During this intuitive time, have fun connecting with others and doing things that bring you joy — explore something different, take a risk.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday afternoon ahead of time.<span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 4:40pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Thursday evening</strong>; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals.<b> </b><b>\r\n</b>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday evening,</strong> <em>an opportune Venus/Chiron aspect becomes exact</em> at 8:41pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Sunday night (April 22nd) on; it will be strong until Thursday (April 26th). </strong>It\'s an opportunity to bring healing to our wounds around relationships or our sense of self-worth.\r\n\r\nWe get a chance to love ourselves and heal deep fears of not being \"good enough\". Healing happens much faster when we can open to forgiving ourselves and others. As best as you can, bring compassion and understanding to yourself, to others, and to those past experiences that wounded you.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>28-2 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Gemini, Aries, Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Taurus </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Libra </i></b><i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra)</i>\r\n\r\nAlso<strong> on Tuesday,</strong> although now retrograde, <i>Saturn resumes its normal pace through the sky, ending its station</i>. What came up in the last two weeks around any commitments to build something long-term? How about the need to be more realistic? How truthful are you with yourself about \"where you\'re at\"? The retrograde phase is a good time to do some internal work in these areas (the retrograde ends on Sept. 6th).\r\n\r\nWe now have 4.5 months to go over recently built business structures, to see if they are aligned with our inner truth. We are also now ready to contemplate solutions for whatever was \"in our face\" from April 9th until now -- solutions that work well both with our inner truth and our outer reality.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (April 25th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday early evening,</strong> <em>a challenging Mercury/Saturn aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:28pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday late morning (April 20th) on; it will remain strong until Saturday evening (April 28th). </strong>Due to the Mercury Retrograde phase that just ended recently, we get to experience this aspect several times; this is the third and last pass within the last 6.5 weeks. This gives us a chance to address our approach toward any misunderstandings.\r\n\r\nThis aspect asks us to stretch a little, to grow and mature. Watch out for misunderstandings or rigid thinking, not only when it comes to interacting with others, but also when it comes to your own inner dialog.\r\n\r\nOn the one hand, Mercury in <b>Aries</b> wants us to communicate in a fast, direct, and uncompromising manner... On the other hand, Saturn in <b>Capricorn</b> reminds us that before we can think about what we want to create or bring forth, we need to look at the reality of how long things take to manifest -- we must slow down, get present to the quality we want to produce. <strong>Ask yourself</strong>: If this is a long-term goal, am I truly building for the long-term? What is the worst that could happen if I rushed, or skipped over some steps?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative ways to connect to your passions, while remaining committed to exploring them one step at a time. What is my life calling me to explore? Could I go for it (one step at a time)?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>6-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Aries, Capricorn,<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">  </span>Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Saturn rules Capricorn).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (April 26th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> until 9:13pm EDT</strong> (see Tuesday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 5:49am EDT,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for almost 15.5 hours, <strong>until 9:13pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time to empower each other and mutually support each other in practical ways.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Thursday all day and evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning,</strong> <em>a Mars/Pluto alignment in 21 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong></em> becomes exact at 7:00am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday morning (April 19th) on, it will remain strong until Tuesday evening (May 1st). </strong>This alignment connects our personal will to the Universal Will. If we feel the need to connect to something, we will feel it passionately, especially when it comes to our long-term goals and our public image.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe may feel impatient (or even obsessive) right now about our career goals. Suppressed desires surface; we will need to take actions on them, one way or another. If you are able to connect -- body and soul -- to that passion, you will be able to move towards a much higher goal. This may be a goal that is truly connected to the whole of you, perhaps even to your Soul Purpose for this lifetime.\r\n\r\nMars last aligned with Pluto in mid-October, 2016; unresolved issues from that period can now move to the next level. What were you up to back then? What does the next level look like for those ventures? What is a simple step you could take to move them there?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or personal planets in <em>18-24 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Capricorn, Cancer, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this aspect more strongly than otherwise. </i><i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Aries </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> (Mars is the ruler of Aries, so those folks will always be affected more strongly by Mars\'s movements and aspects; Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio, so they likewise feel Pluto\'s movements and aspects more strongly)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 9:13pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday very early morning. </strong>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating -- and although these next two days are a great time for mediation, our need for peace (and aversion to direct conflict) could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might prefer.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nWe may also be able to see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (April 27th):</strong> <em>the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday very early morning,</strong><i> </i>we are asked to connect with others, socialize, and share information with them\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning: </strong>we are invited to make some internal adjustments. We may want to relax, slow down and enjoy life through our senses -- but we may also feel drawn to collaboration with others. Might there be a way to honor yourself while still adjusting to other peoples wishes?<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday early afternoon: </strong>we feel a need for even-handed collaboration... and for focusing on our long-term accomplishments and standing in society. As best as you can, find a creative way through this!<em> </em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late afternoon: </strong>we may need to balance wanting harmony with others, against wanting to be direct and to share ourselves without apologies.<span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><em><strong> </strong></em></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (April 28th):</strong> t<em>he Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> ( See Thursday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday late morning,</strong><em> </em>we may need to make some adjustments and find creative ways to work with the energies at play: On the one hand, we need to collaborate with others and play nice, on the other hand, we feel a deep desire to be authentic and truthful about what we want to build long-term.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday early afternoon: </strong>On the one hand, we need harmony and peace in interactions with others; on the other, we feel the need to give our long-term goals 100%. We may need to make some adjustments between these two needs that are seemingly at odds.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday night/</strong>Sunday very early morning<strong> at 1:32am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for almost 2 hours, <strong>until 3:11am EDT</strong> (Sunday early morning). Use this intuitive time to reexamine your various one-on-one relationships. Ask yourself: Do any of my relationships stifle my unique spark? How can I balance my need for connection with my desire for freedom?\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday very early morning ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (April 29th)</strong><strong> at 3:11am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Tuesday late morning</strong>. We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s thus an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in <strong>Scorpio</strong> tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your very best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the Full Moon (exact later this evening)</span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning,</strong> <em>a harmonious Sun/Saturn alignment</em> becomes exact at 6:04am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday night (April 25th) on; it will be strong until next week, Wednesday (May 2nd). </strong>Commitment and discipline are the keys to understanding our heart\'s desire right now. We face life on life\'s terms and feel up to doing so (especially when it comes to our creative self-expression).<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: What could I achieve if I bought 5% more joy to my long-term plans?<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"> </span>\r\n\r\nParadoxically, we can also bring a more mature approach to exploring our \"inner child\" energy. How might a supportive \"inner parent\" help your \"inner child\" feel safe to play?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>6-12 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? Or your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)? If either of those is true, you can expect to be more blessed by this aspect :-)</i>\r\n\r\nAs I mentioned earlier, the entrance of the <i>Moon into passionate, all-or-nothing </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b> started the energetic build up towards the <i>Full Moon;</i> this will be exact today <b>(Sunday</b><b>, April 29th) at 8:58pm EDT  </b><i>in 9.5 degrees of </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b>.\r\n\r\nThis Full Moon shows us what we must release if we are to manifest anything that began soon after the last New Moon (i.e. after April 15th).\r\n\r\nFor the next two weeks, we seek the balance and integration of two polarities -- and are more aware<b> </b>of something that needs to be brought into alignment. The balance in question is between our physical attachments/connections -- symbolized by <b>Taurus</b> -- and our emotional attachments/connections (<b>Scorpio</b>).\r\n\r\nThe time of any Full Moon is always more extroverted and emotional; this particular one invites us to let go of fears, and thereby break through to the next level of our evolution.\r\n\r\nSo, here\'s this Full Moon\'s central question: What do we really want? As a society, as people, as individuals... To learn more about this month\'s Full Moon, please click here to watch my video\r\n\r\nAll right, let\'s look at the signs involved in this polarity, beginning with <b>Taurus:</b>\r\n\r\nTaurus seeks comfort and material stability. It\'s concerned with our relationship to the planet, and with the physical plane in general -- and with a hugely important part of our relationship with ourselves, namely \"self-esteem\".\r\n\r\nOf course, <b>Taurus</b> also has a shadow side: attachment to material things, especially when using them to make up for low self-esteem, seeking to feel better about ourselves through indulging in physical pleasures -- and immovability -- wanting to keep things the same, usually so we don\'t experience physical discomfort.\r\n\r\n<b>Scorpio</b>, on the other hand, craves transformation — and it seeks this in part by putting us in touch with our deepest desires and worst fears, bringing it into conscious awareness, so that we can see and release what no longer serves, or has become stale or toxic. Put another way: it helps us move from a \"survival mentality\" to a passionate engagement with life.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> Where in my life do I observe a \"survival mentality\"? In what ways have I protected myself from feelings of hurt or disempowerment?\r\n\r\nIt’s essential to bring conscious awareness to the walls we have built to feel protected and more “empowered”. Addressing past traumas and any sense of disempowerment is the only way to allow for the return of trust toward others (and life in general). By acknowledging our fears and breaking down those walls, we can transform into truly powerful beings of love and inner strength.\r\n\r\nWhat is <b>Scorpio\'s</b> shadow? Attachment to emotional connections (even if they are toxic) , avoidance of emotional pain, armoring and protecting ourselves from incidents of disempowerment that no longer exist outside of memory, trust issues, black-and-white thinking, addiction to drama and darkness (or substances)... and anything we want to prevent. Scorpio\'s shadow sees us coming from an instinctual, self-protective place, rather than from intuitive, love-based spaciousness.\r\n\r\n<b>Scorpio</b> wants to go beyond the surface, to our deeper motivations. For the next two weeks, <b>ask yourself:</b> Where do my intentions and efforts seem to get undermined? What propels my sense of attraction or repulsion? What turns me on about life? What scares me?\r\n\r\nSome <b>more questions:</b> What is coming to the surface? Could I simply allow it to? Could I temporarily suspend the need to judge it, \"understand\" it, get rid of it?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon Nodes in </i><b><i>Aquarius/Leo</i></b><i> are in a close Square to the Full Moon</i>. This creates a fixed  Grand Cross and therefore some tension -- it usually indicates a need for releasing old karmic patterns, on a collective and individual level.\r\n\r\nIf you find yourself becoming reactive within the next two weeks, <b>ask yourself:</b> Are these triggers in my relationships \"old\" or familiar? If I were completely honest with myself right now, might I find I was blowing things out of proportion a little bit? What if I took things 5% less personally, just as a brief experiment? Could I acknowledge how I feel that particular situation/feeling is part of my identity -- how it feels like it is about me or who I am? And just for right now, and just as best as I can, could I let go of that sense that \"it\'s personal\"?\r\n\r\n<i>The Moon and Jupiter in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i> make a trine to Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b>. This is a favorable aspect that supports our ability to release and heal old traumas while connecting us to our feminine energies in a supportive way; we see from new perspectives and are more able to deal with the darker side of things, through humor and a renewed approach.\r\n\r\nAllowing our fears to surface and bringing compassion and kindness to our feeling-body is a little easier for the next two weeks. <b>Ask yourself:</b> Just for today (or even just for right now), could I let go of \"survival mode\"? If I lowered my protective barriers by 5% and started to trust 5% more, what might shift in regards to intimacy with others? With myself? With life itself?\r\n\r\nHere is another exercise that you can try (I\'ve mentioned this in a previous video, but I think it\'s worth exploring again):\r\n\r\nImagine yourself in survival mode: What imagery comes to mind? Get quiet, and allow yourself to visualize your inner predator/protector. What does it look like? Could you have compassion and understanding towards that inner predator/protector?\r\n\r\nNow imagine yourself being passionately engaged with life, powerfully connected to your heart and your loving strength: What imagery comes to mind now? What does your Higher Self look like? Could you choose to embrace that divine nature fully, in this now moment?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars,</i> the traditional ruler of Scorpio,<i> </i><i>is currently in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i> and aligns with Pluto </i>(the modern ruler of <b>Scorpio</b>).\r\n\r\nWe are therefore asked to look at our lives and our long-term plans. We seek empowerment from within, rather than the exertion of \"power\" over others. We are invited to act from \"the power of love\" vs. \"the love of power\" -- and remember that healthy \"self-love\" is also a form of… love! :)\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> How emotionally authentic am I being in my actions? Do I feel passionate about what I am building long-term? Am I consistently empowering <i>myself and</i> others? How am I doing at letting go of behaviors and impulses that arise from past trauma or a sense of threat?\r\n\r\n<i>Mars</i> supports us in taking actions that transform what no longer serves, and in building healthy foundations for those long-term goals. <b>Ask yourself: </b>What feels most satisfying to me personally? What are my priorities? What is my bottom line? What is the simplest next action that leads to manifesting all of that long-term? Are my actions motivated by <b>love</b> (wanting to thrive, to live full-out) or <b>fear</b> (wanting merely to protect myself and merely survive)?\r\n\r\n<i>Chiron moved into </i><b><i>Aries</i></b> just recently, and therefore the position of <i>Mars</i> is also connected to the \"Wounded Healer\".\r\n\r\nOne of my hopes for the membership site was that it would free me up to make more special content for my members, and I\'m delighted to say that this is already happening. I just completed a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/chiron-in-aries-until-2027/\">special article on \"Chiron in Aries\"</a> that is only available to site Members, so please do check that out, if you haven\'t seen it yet ;-)\r\n\r\nOf course, my <i>Star</i> and <i>SuperStar Members</i> will also be automatically be invited to join the next Forecasting Forum, which will delve into Chiron\'s move into Aries in detail, looking at how it impacts our birth charts -- these membership levels can take part in the live webinar, and they also receive an emailed recording of the event (eligible members, please look out for those emails in your inbox -- you may want to flag them if they\'re going into your junk mail).\r\n\r\nIf you are a <i>Universal Member</i>, you can join us by registering <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/join-the-monthly-forecasting-forum/\">right here</a>... or you can also upgrade to <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/star-membership/\"><i>Star Membership</i></a> and join us for FREE, every month :-)\r\n\r\nAgain, we apply what happens every month to our own birth charts; in addition to Chiron’s journey through <strong>Aries</strong> until 2027, we\'ll also be looking at Uranus\'s upcoming journey through <strong>Taurus</strong>. Both of these transits promise major shifts ahead!\r\n\r\nThere\'s something else I\'d like to mention in connection with this Full Moon: <i>Saturn forms a Trine to the Sun in </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b><i> and a Sextile to the Moon in </i><b><i>Scorpio</i></b><i>.</i><i> </i>\r\n\r\nThis makes it easier for us to recognize what we value most, and how to manifest it long-term in the real world -- partly by helping us stay focused on our priorities -- it is, in fact, a very favorable combination for manifesting things.\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself: </b>Could focusing on my long-term goals actually help me balance physical and material priorities with any deeply emotional partnerships I may have with others? What if I brought a sense of responsibility to the table? What would being present right now do for my long-term goals?\r\n\r\nLastly, let\'s talk about <i>Venus,</i> the ruler of Taurus; she<i> </i><i>is currently in </i><b><i>Gemini.</i></b>\r\n\r\nThis has us seeking out mental stimulation: sharing, teaching, learning, writing, reading, etc…. We want to connect, learn, and share as much as possible... Note that Gemini is also connected to the media.\r\n\r\n<i>Venus in </i><b><i>Gemini</i></b><i> squares Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> and makes a somewhat challenging aspect to the Mars/Pluto alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn</i></b><i>.</i><i> </i>\r\n\r\n<i>Venus squares Neptune in </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i>: </i><i>This </i>brings up the challenge of connecting the unconditional heart with the rational mind —  and challenges around introversion vs. extroversion, slow vs. fast, intuition vs. \"learning\". Not only that, with this combo, we may not always know if something is \"fact or fiction\".\r\n\r\nWe are being asked to stretch ourselves in order to resolve a tension between what our mind tells us we want, versus our need to tap into our intuitive sensing and feel our way through something. As best as you can, do not believe everything you hear -- whether externally (from others) or internally (from your own conditioned mind ;-)\r\n\r\n<b>Ask yourself:</b> What might I hear if I listened to intuition before I share something? What if I listened to intuition while reading or watching something? What thoughts would I then share? What if I were 5% more appreciative and kind with myself and others -- especially when thoughts are being shared or processed?\r\n\r\n<b>Bonus questions:</b> What if learning was not a straight line? What if it was circular? Or like a  never-ending spiral?\r\n\r\n<i>Venus makes a somewhat challenging aspect to the Mars/Pluto alignment in </i><b><i>Capricorn: </i></b><i>This</i> creates a tension and a challenge: we are called to make an effort, work hard, and learn. <b>Ask yourself: </b>Where do my words need more integrity? Might mental flexibility actually support my determination? If I made 5% more effort to choose the best words, what would that mean for my relationships? Is there anything I might not be fully allowing myself to acknowledge? What would I prefer stayed hidden to myself?\r\n\r\n<b>To sum  it all up:</b> This Full Moon reminds us that life and death are entwined, that every new beginning is an ending for something else, and vice versa. <b>Ask yourself:</b> What fears and traumas need to be investigated and made conscious, so I can be more in touch with my own worthiness, and better see my own value? What behaviors and habits need to come to an end and make way for me to create more abundance?\r\n\r\nLong-standing patterns demand to be addressed right now! The good news is that we have the persistence to do just that, and thereby step into a more fully empowered self-experience... As best as you can, therefore, release what you have outgrown, and focus where you <i>actually</i> have influence, rather than forcing things and struggling to change what you have no control over.\r\n\r\nSome <b>final questions</b>: What if there was a completely new approach to achieving “powerful leadership” in the world? What would such leadership bring about? What would long-term commitments based on trust, love and a genuine desire for a deeper, more authentic connection bring to life?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 7-12 degrees of</i><b><i> Taurus,</i></b><i> </i><b><i>Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this month\'s Full Moon. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>A head’s up for next Monday (April 30th):</strong> t<em>he Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing </em><strong><em>Scorpio</em> all day</strong> (see Sunday early morning for details).

There will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: Monday all day until 10:03pm EDT; Wednesday late morning (for 16 hours) and Friday afternoon (for 16.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (May 21st)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 10:03pm EDT. </strong>With the Moon in <strong>Leo</strong>, we may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)\r\n\r\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are also a big part of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.\r\n\r\nIf there are no children around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the rest of today. Ask yourself: What am I most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, I could  let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a><strong> until 10:03pm EDT</strong>: we are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we feel a strong need to have fun and be creative or self-expressed.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, we want to explore deep, authentic -- even intimate -- connections to ourselves or others. Do your best to use this intuitive time to make adjustments, slow things down a little, and find creative solutions that honor both drives.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday late evening and Monday all day ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 10:03pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning</strong>; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact later this evening).\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\r\n<strong> GET IT ALL!

Last week saw the New Moon, on May 15th. \"Seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day dealings with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 29 degrees of <strong>Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio</strong>, or 0-3 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (May 22nd)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:48pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last Saturday (May 19th) on, it will remain strong until Thursday night. </strong>This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body.\r\n\r\nWe all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?\r\n\r\n<strong>Until Thursday night</strong>, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity?\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 29 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn,</strong> <strong>Cancer,</strong> or 0-4 degrees of <strong>Gemini, Aries, Aquarius </strong>or<strong> Leo</strong>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Pisces (the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late evening</strong>, <em>an opportune Mercury/Neptune aspect</em> becoming exact at 10:13pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Monday night on, it will remain strong until Thursday morning. </strong>This aspect gives us the opportunity to bring compassion and an intuitive approach to our thinking process.\r\n\r\nHaving faith and connecting to our Higher Selves will be of service to us at this time. Any artistic or spiritual endeavors are likely to do well at this time. Music might help us with our thinking process and ability to get things done.\r\n\r\nLet yourself be inspired! A book, a song, a movie, someone else\'s words… allow the Universe to speak to you. Open your mind to a higher vibration -- and remember, opportunities are openings... they aren\'t necessarily handed to us... we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <em>14-18 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 23rd)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday late evening for details).\r\n\r\nTuesday night/<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Jupiter opposition</em> becomes exact at 1:54am EDT. <strong>We feel this aspect build from Monday; it will remain strong until Thursday evening.</strong>\r\n\r\nIt asks us to balance our personal values and resources against our authentic, emotional connections with others (and any resources we share with them). This could also show up as a need to balance what we <em>think</em> we need to own or have, with our desire for expansion within intimate relationships and shared resources.\r\n\r\nOf course, we could conceivably have it both ways -- here are some questions you can ask yourself, that might help with this: How might taking a different view of my intimate relationships impact my self-worth? Could I share from a place of self-love and self-honoring,  just 5% more than normal? If I stepped way back from the canvas, what \"bigger picture\" would I see?\r\n\r\nWe generally feel quite optimistic at this time, perhaps overly so: The urge to grow and expand is strong, but we can overreach -- perhaps by overlooking critical details and thereby miscalculating. We might be inclined to exaggerate, then have a hard time putting our ideas and goals into practice. That said, we can also be extraordinarily funny and interesting at this time, especially in our one-on-one relationships :-)\r\n\r\nExpect a lot of talking and sharing -- and possibly some over-thinking or impulsive communication. Impatience is likely a side-effect of this aspect as well... As best as you can, take an \"observer\" position toward your mind: listen to your thoughts, catch yourself thinking.\r\n\r\nIn other words: as best as you can, practice listening, to yourself, to others, and to your body. Listening is an art form that makes it easier to tap into our own inner wisdom and our body\'s wisdom.\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 13-20 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </strong>or<strong> Aquarius</strong>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in <strong>Gemini, Virgo</strong> or <strong>Sagittarius</strong> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter of Sagittarius).</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 10:55am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 16 hours, <strong>until 2:52am EDT Thursday very early morning</strong>. Use this intuitive time to empower each other in regards to earthly issues and mutually support each other in practical ways.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday all day until Thursday very early morning ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late evening</strong>, <em>a harmonious Sun/Mars aspect</em> become exact at 10:39pm EDT; <strong>we started feeling this aspect on Friday (May 18th), it has been building since then and will remain strong until the evening of next Monday, May 28th. </strong>\r\n\r\nThis aspect lets us know that we could create connections that bring us a sense of community and belonging, if we were simply to bring conscious awareness to our actions, and create a vision of a future that supports all of us,. It also brings a flow of intellectual stimulation that we can easily discuss and share with others.\r\n\r\nWe have powerful stores of energy right now that we can draw upon when needed. We respond to problems or challenges with a spirited and enthusiastic confidence that is admirable. We truly believe in equal opportunities and seem to be in love with life. When we express or experience competitiveness, or courage, it\'s easy to smile and accept these traits as positive, rather than being rubbed the wrong way. We generally have good mental and physical vitality during this transit.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>0-6 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Gemini, Aquarius, </i></b><i>or <b>Libra</b></i><i>? If so, you may feel more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Mars rules Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (May 24th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em> and<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> VoC</a> <strong>until 2:52am EDT</strong> (see Monday late evening and Wednesday late morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 2:52am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until Saturday late morning. </strong>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating -- and although these next two days are a great time for mediation, our need for peace (and aversion to direct conflict) could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might prefer.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able to see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early morning</strong>: we become more aware that we need to find a balance between two very different energies -- on the one hand,  taking a compassionate approach towards our personal goals, while being assertive in the world -- and on the other hand, our need to connect and collaborate with others. Ask yourself: what if taking a compassionate approach towards myself actually made for more fulfilling connections with others?\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning</strong>: starts out harmoniously, even though we feel an urge to make progress, and connect with others about our vision for the future.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday afternoon</strong>: we feel a need to stay within our safety zone while also connecting and collaborating -- stretch a little, and see if you can find creative ways to connect whilst honoring your need for safety and familiarity. As best as you can, listen to your feeling-body and be kind with yourself and others, if your needs do not align perfectly with others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early evening</strong>: we are invited to make some adjustments in our lives and find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations. As best as you can, look for solid foundations under any long-term goals currently underway, and for ways to create win-win outcomes for one-on-one relationships.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (May 25)</strong>:<em> the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday morning</strong>, <em>a long-lasting, harmonious Jupiter/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:52am EDT (first one of the year). Due to Jupiter\'s and Neptune\'s Station phases, <strong>we start to feel this aspect build from May 4th on, it will remain strong until July 15th. </strong>This brings the potential for deep, spiritual inspiration.\r\n\r\nExtravagance or exaggeration are possible during this time; routine is particularly unsatisfying, we easily detour from the practical path. On the other hand, this is a great time for connecting to music or spiritual endeavors -- and for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\nOur intuition is at an all-time high, as is our ability to explore our traumas and demons; we are also more able to resolve anything that is no longer empowering to us personally -- in particular, we can dissolve the fears that have kept us from deepening our relationships -- and this is also true on a collective level.\r\n\r\nGenerosity, compassion and faith will likely increase; we more readily and easily make personal sacrifices for what we see as the greater good. We have a deeper sense that all of us are part of the human family -- a sense of the unity that is possible between people, nations and all living things on this planet.\r\n\r\nThis can be a chance to increase our creativity, perceptiveness and empathy; it\'s a time to allow for things to unfold and for seeing the perfection in everything that is.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>13-19 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Scorpio, Pisces, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more blessed by this aspect; this is also true for those of us with the Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Mercury/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 9:38am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on, it will remain strong until Sunday morning. </strong>Our words and our \"speaking\" are very grounded and realistic. We can feel really empowered by what we say (and how we say it) during this time. Our conviction and passion helps us to connect and empower others.\r\n\r\nWe are strongly connected to our inner truth and can analyze and understand our motivations around long-term goals. We investigate our own thought structures in a very realistic, focused way, and look to see what needs to be communicated next.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i> <em>18-24 degrees</em><i> of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be even more blessed by this aspect than those who do not; this is also true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Scorpio</i></b> <i>(Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo, Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 5:04pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 16.5 hours,<strong> until 9:39am EDT Saturday late morning</strong>. Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments and find creative ways to work with the energies at play: On the one hand, as best as you can, collaborate with others and play nice, on the other hand, be authentic and truthful about what we want to build long-term.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday late afternoon until Saturday late morning ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (May 26th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 9:39am EDT</strong> (see Thursday very early morning and Friday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday very early morning</strong>,<em> a Venus/Saturn opposition</em> becomes exact at 2:40am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on, it will remain strong until next Monday evening (May 28th). </strong>This might be a time of relationship tests or trials: we may not be attracting the things and people that we want in our lives -- at least, not as easily as we were before this transit.\r\n\r\nThis can be eye-opening -- a signal to work on improving the \"ways\" (as well as the \"things\") that we bring to partnerships or to our finances. Doubts could be raised now. But what\'s really required is that we slow things down and be as realistic as we can possibly be.\r\n\r\nWe could be withdrawing or holding back a little, as we attempt to figure out what we want and need -- and what we can give. We are working towards ridding ourselves of self-delusion when it comes to partnerships, socializing and finances. In the process, we might feel disdain for inauthentic interactions and resent \"going through the motions\" on a social and/or mental level.\r\n\r\nOur goal here is to make more connections aligned with our own truth. Relationships built on weak foundations may not survive, but stronger ones can be improved and strengthened. Financial matters might be stressful for the time being; this forces us into a position of conservation and moderation. As best as you can, find your inner balance with this -- and on an external level with others.\r\n\r\nThink back to <strong>late Dec., 2017</strong>, when Venus was conjunct Saturn in <strong>Capricorn</strong>. With Venus opposing Saturn now, we can start to see the fruits of the seeds that were planted back then. So: What were the seeds? What are the fruits?\r\n\r\nIn other words: What has emerged since late December, in regards to who and what you value? We are also now more aware of what we have (and haven\'t) learned since then... Do you like what you see? Is there room for more learning, more integration?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>5-11 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 9:39am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until next week, Monday evening</strong> (May 28th). We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s thus an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your very best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 27th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Saturday late morning for details).\r\n\r\nSaturday night/<strong>Sunday very early morning: </strong>for the next several hours, we enjoy familiar company and surroundings -- our home is our castle.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early morning: </strong>we are invited to<strong> </strong>connect with others on a deep emotional level, and explore new points of views about our ability to make authentic connections.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late afternoon: </strong>we are likely to experience a sense of ease and flow, but may need to slow down and allow our feelings to come through. A gentle approach is best. We feel good when coming from the heart and making deeper connections with others. Being open to receiving and going with the flow are key!\r\n\r\n<strong>A heads up for next Monday (May 28th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em><strong> until 6:29pm EDT</strong>. <strong>At 1:25pm EDT,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course</a>, that last for 5 hours, <strong>until 6:29pm EDT</strong>.

There will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: Monday all day until 10:03pm EDT; Wednesday late morning (for 16 hours) and Friday afternoon (for 16.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (May 21st)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 10:03pm EDT. </strong>With the Moon in <strong>Leo</strong>, we may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)\r\n\r\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are also a big part of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.\r\n\r\nIf there are no children around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the rest of today. Ask yourself: What am I most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, I could  let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a><strong> until 10:03pm EDT</strong>: we are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we feel a strong need to have fun and be creative or self-expressed.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, we want to explore deep, authentic -- even intimate -- connections to ourselves or others. Do your best to use this intuitive time to make adjustments, slow things down a little, and find creative solutions that honor both drives.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday late evening and Monday all day ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 10:03pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning</strong>; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact later this evening).\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\r\n<strong> GET IT ALL!

Last week saw the New Moon, on May 15th. \"Seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day dealings with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 29 degrees of <strong>Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio</strong>, or 0-3 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (May 22nd)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:48pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last Saturday (May 19th) on, it will remain strong until Thursday night. </strong>This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body.\r\n\r\nWe all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?\r\n\r\n<strong>Until Thursday night</strong>, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity?\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 29 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn,</strong> <strong>Cancer,</strong> or 0-4 degrees of <strong>Gemini, Aries, Aquarius </strong>or<strong> Leo</strong>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Pisces (the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late evening</strong>, <em>an opportune Mercury/Neptune aspect</em> becoming exact at 10:13pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Monday night on, it will remain strong until Thursday morning. </strong>This aspect gives us the opportunity to bring compassion and an intuitive approach to our thinking process.\r\n\r\nHaving faith and connecting to our Higher Selves will be of service to us at this time. Any artistic or spiritual endeavors are likely to do well at this time. Music might help us with our thinking process and ability to get things done.\r\n\r\nLet yourself be inspired! A book, a song, a movie, someone else\'s words… allow the Universe to speak to you. Open your mind to a higher vibration -- and remember, opportunities are openings... they aren\'t necessarily handed to us... we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <em>14-18 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 23rd)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday late evening for details).\r\n\r\nTuesday night/<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Jupiter opposition</em> becomes exact at 1:54am EDT. <strong>We feel this aspect build from Monday; it will remain strong until Thursday evening.</strong>\r\n\r\nIt asks us to balance our personal values and resources against our authentic, emotional connections with others (and any resources we share with them). This could also show up as a need to balance what we <em>think</em> we need to own or have, with our desire for expansion within intimate relationships and shared resources.\r\n\r\nOf course, we could conceivably have it both ways -- here are some questions you can ask yourself, that might help with this: How might taking a different view of my intimate relationships impact my self-worth? Could I share from a place of self-love and self-honoring,  just 5% more than normal? If I stepped way back from the canvas, what \"bigger picture\" would I see?\r\n\r\nWe generally feel quite optimistic at this time, perhaps overly so: The urge to grow and expand is strong, but we can overreach -- perhaps by overlooking critical details and thereby miscalculating. We might be inclined to exaggerate, then have a hard time putting our ideas and goals into practice. That said, we can also be extraordinarily funny and interesting at this time, especially in our one-on-one relationships :-)\r\n\r\nExpect a lot of talking and sharing -- and possibly some over-thinking or impulsive communication. Impatience is likely a side-effect of this aspect as well... As best as you can, take an \"observer\" position toward your mind: listen to your thoughts, catch yourself thinking.\r\n\r\nIn other words: as best as you can, practice listening, to yourself, to others, and to your body. Listening is an art form that makes it easier to tap into our own inner wisdom and our body\'s wisdom.\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 13-20 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </strong>or<strong> Aquarius</strong>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in <strong>Gemini, Virgo</strong> or <strong>Sagittarius</strong> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter of Sagittarius).</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 10:55am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 16 hours, <strong>until 2:52am EDT Thursday very early morning</strong>. Use this intuitive time to empower each other in regards to earthly issues and mutually support each other in practical ways.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday all day until Thursday very early morning ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late evening</strong>, <em>a harmonious Sun/Mars aspect</em> become exact at 10:39pm EDT; <strong>we started feeling this aspect on Friday (May 18th), it has been building since then and will remain strong until the evening of next Monday, May 28th. </strong>\r\n\r\nThis aspect lets us know that we could create connections that bring us a sense of community and belonging, if we were simply to bring conscious awareness to our actions, and create a vision of a future that supports all of us,. It also brings a flow of intellectual stimulation that we can easily discuss and share with others.\r\n\r\nWe have powerful stores of energy right now that we can draw upon when needed. We respond to problems or challenges with a spirited and enthusiastic confidence that is admirable. We truly believe in equal opportunities and seem to be in love with life. When we express or experience competitiveness, or courage, it\'s easy to smile and accept these traits as positive, rather than being rubbed the wrong way. We generally have good mental and physical vitality during this transit.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>0-6 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Gemini, Aquarius, </i></b><i>or <b>Libra</b></i><i>? If so, you may feel more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Mars rules Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (May 24th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em> and<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> VoC</a> <strong>until 2:52am EDT</strong> (see Monday late evening and Wednesday late morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 2:52am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until Saturday late morning. </strong>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating -- and although these next two days are a great time for mediation, our need for peace (and aversion to direct conflict) could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might prefer.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able to see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early morning</strong>: we become more aware that we need to find a balance between two very different energies -- on the one hand,  taking a compassionate approach towards our personal goals, while being assertive in the world -- and on the other hand, our need to connect and collaborate with others. Ask yourself: what if taking a compassionate approach towards myself actually made for more fulfilling connections with others?\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning</strong>: starts out harmoniously, even though we feel an urge to make progress, and connect with others about our vision for the future.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday afternoon</strong>: we feel a need to stay within our safety zone while also connecting and collaborating -- stretch a little, and see if you can find creative ways to connect whilst honoring your need for safety and familiarity. As best as you can, listen to your feeling-body and be kind with yourself and others, if your needs do not align perfectly with others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early evening</strong>: we are invited to make some adjustments in our lives and find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations. As best as you can, look for solid foundations under any long-term goals currently underway, and for ways to create win-win outcomes for one-on-one relationships.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (May 25)</strong>:<em> the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday morning</strong>, <em>a long-lasting, harmonious Jupiter/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:52am EDT (first one of the year). Due to Jupiter\'s and Neptune\'s Station phases, <strong>we start to feel this aspect build from May 4th on, it will remain strong until July 15th. </strong>This brings the potential for deep, spiritual inspiration.\r\n\r\nExtravagance or exaggeration are possible during this time; routine is particularly unsatisfying, we easily detour from the practical path. On the other hand, this is a great time for connecting to music or spiritual endeavors -- and for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\nOur intuition is at an all-time high, as is our ability to explore our traumas and demons; we are also more able to resolve anything that is no longer empowering to us personally -- in particular, we can dissolve the fears that have kept us from deepening our relationships -- and this is also true on a collective level.\r\n\r\nGenerosity, compassion and faith will likely increase; we more readily and easily make personal sacrifices for what we see as the greater good. We have a deeper sense that all of us are part of the human family -- a sense of the unity that is possible between people, nations and all living things on this planet.\r\n\r\nThis can be a chance to increase our creativity, perceptiveness and empathy; it\'s a time to allow for things to unfold and for seeing the perfection in everything that is.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>13-19 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Scorpio, Pisces, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more blessed by this aspect; this is also true for those of us with the Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Mercury/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 9:38am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on, it will remain strong until Sunday morning. </strong>Our words and our \"speaking\" are very grounded and realistic. We can feel really empowered by what we say (and how we say it) during this time. Our conviction and passion helps us to connect and empower others.\r\n\r\nWe are strongly connected to our inner truth and can analyze and understand our motivations around long-term goals. We investigate our own thought structures in a very realistic, focused way, and look to see what needs to be communicated next.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i> <em>18-24 degrees</em><i> of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be even more blessed by this aspect than those who do not; this is also true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Scorpio</i></b> <i>(Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo, Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 5:04pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 16.5 hours,<strong> until 9:39am EDT Saturday late morning</strong>. Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments and find creative ways to work with the energies at play: On the one hand, as best as you can, collaborate with others and play nice, on the other hand, be authentic and truthful about what we want to build long-term.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday late afternoon until Saturday late morning ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (May 26th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 9:39am EDT</strong> (see Thursday very early morning and Friday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday very early morning</strong>,<em> a Venus/Saturn opposition</em> becomes exact at 2:40am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on, it will remain strong until next Monday evening (May 28th). </strong>This might be a time of relationship tests or trials: we may not be attracting the things and people that we want in our lives -- at least, not as easily as we were before this transit.\r\n\r\nThis can be eye-opening -- a signal to work on improving the \"ways\" (as well as the \"things\") that we bring to partnerships or to our finances. Doubts could be raised now. But what\'s really required is that we slow things down and be as realistic as we can possibly be.\r\n\r\nWe could be withdrawing or holding back a little, as we attempt to figure out what we want and need -- and what we can give. We are working towards ridding ourselves of self-delusion when it comes to partnerships, socializing and finances. In the process, we might feel disdain for inauthentic interactions and resent \"going through the motions\" on a social and/or mental level.\r\n\r\nOur goal here is to make more connections aligned with our own truth. Relationships built on weak foundations may not survive, but stronger ones can be improved and strengthened. Financial matters might be stressful for the time being; this forces us into a position of conservation and moderation. As best as you can, find your inner balance with this -- and on an external level with others.\r\n\r\nThink back to <strong>late Dec., 2017</strong>, when Venus was conjunct Saturn in <strong>Capricorn</strong>. With Venus opposing Saturn now, we can start to see the fruits of the seeds that were planted back then. So: What were the seeds? What are the fruits?\r\n\r\nIn other words: What has emerged since late December, in regards to who and what you value? We are also now more aware of what we have (and haven\'t) learned since then... Do you like what you see? Is there room for more learning, more integration?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>5-11 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 9:39am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until next week, Monday evening</strong> (May 28th). We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s thus an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your very best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 27th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Saturday late morning for details).\r\n\r\nSaturday night/<strong>Sunday very early morning: </strong>for the next several hours, we enjoy familiar company and surroundings -- our home is our castle.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early morning: </strong>we are invited to<strong> </strong>connect with others on a deep emotional level, and explore new points of views about our ability to make authentic connections.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late afternoon: </strong>we are likely to experience a sense of ease and flow, but may need to slow down and allow our feelings to come through. A gentle approach is best. We feel good when coming from the heart and making deeper connections with others. Being open to receiving and going with the flow are key!\r\n\r\n<strong>A heads up for next Monday (May 28th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em><strong> until 6:29pm EDT</strong>. <strong>At 1:25pm EDT,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course</a>, that last for 5 hours, <strong>until 6:29pm EDT</strong>. Also, on<strong> Monday at 6:29pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking <strong>Sagittarius</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until Thursday morning</strong>.This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the Full Moon (exact next week, Tuesday late morning).

There will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: Monday all day until 10:03pm EDT; Wednesday late morning (for 16 hours) and Friday afternoon (for 16.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (May 21st)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 10:03pm EDT. </strong>With the Moon in <strong>Leo</strong>, we may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)\r\n\r\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are also a big part of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.\r\n\r\nIf there are no children around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the rest of today. Ask yourself: What am I most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, I could  let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a><strong> until 10:03pm EDT</strong>: we are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we feel a strong need to have fun and be creative or self-expressed.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, we want to explore deep, authentic -- even intimate -- connections to ourselves or others. Do your best to use this intuitive time to make adjustments, slow things down a little, and find creative solutions that honor both drives.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday late evening and Monday all day ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 10:03pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning</strong>; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact later this evening).\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong> ALREADY A MEMBER?

Last week saw the New Moon, on May 15th. \"Seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day dealings with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 29 degrees of <strong>Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio</strong>, or 0-3 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (May 22nd)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:48pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last Saturday (May 19th) on, it will remain strong until Thursday night. </strong>This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body.\r\n\r\nWe all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?\r\n\r\n<strong>Until Thursday night</strong>, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity?\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 29 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn,</strong> <strong>Cancer,</strong> or 0-4 degrees of <strong>Gemini, Aries, Aquarius </strong>or<strong> Leo</strong>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Pisces (the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late evening</strong>, <em>an opportune Mercury/Neptune aspect</em> becoming exact at 10:13pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Monday night on, it will remain strong until Thursday morning. </strong>This aspect gives us the opportunity to bring compassion and an intuitive approach to our thinking process.\r\n\r\nHaving faith and connecting to our Higher Selves will be of service to us at this time. Any artistic or spiritual endeavors are likely to do well at this time. Music might help us with our thinking process and ability to get things done.\r\n\r\nLet yourself be inspired! A book, a song, a movie, someone else\'s words… allow the Universe to speak to you. Open your mind to a higher vibration -- and remember, opportunities are openings... they aren\'t necessarily handed to us... we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <em>14-18 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 23rd)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday late evening for details).\r\n\r\nTuesday night/<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Jupiter opposition</em> becomes exact at 1:54am EDT. <strong>We feel this aspect build from Monday; it will remain strong until Thursday evening.</strong>\r\n\r\nIt asks us to balance our personal values and resources against our authentic, emotional connections with others (and any resources we share with them). This could also show up as a need to balance what we <em>think</em> we need to own or have, with our desire for expansion within intimate relationships and shared resources.\r\n\r\nOf course, we could conceivably have it both ways -- here are some questions you can ask yourself, that might help with this: How might taking a different view of my intimate relationships impact my self-worth? Could I share from a place of self-love and self-honoring,  just 5% more than normal? If I stepped way back from the canvas, what \"bigger picture\" would I see?\r\n\r\nWe generally feel quite optimistic at this time, perhaps overly so: The urge to grow and expand is strong, but we can overreach -- perhaps by overlooking critical details and thereby miscalculating. We might be inclined to exaggerate, then have a hard time putting our ideas and goals into practice. That said, we can also be extraordinarily funny and interesting at this time, especially in our one-on-one relationships :-)\r\n\r\nExpect a lot of talking and sharing -- and possibly some over-thinking or impulsive communication. Impatience is likely a side-effect of this aspect as well... As best as you can, take an \"observer\" position toward your mind: listen to your thoughts, catch yourself thinking.\r\n\r\nIn other words: as best as you can, practice listening, to yourself, to others, and to your body. Listening is an art form that makes it easier to tap into our own inner wisdom and our body\'s wisdom.\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 13-20 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </strong>or<strong> Aquarius</strong>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in <strong>Gemini, Virgo</strong> or <strong>Sagittarius</strong> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter of Sagittarius).</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 10:55am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 16 hours, <strong>until 2:52am EDT Thursday very early morning</strong>. Use this intuitive time to empower each other in regards to earthly issues and mutually support each other in practical ways.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday all day until Thursday very early morning ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late evening</strong>, <em>a harmonious Sun/Mars aspect</em> become exact at 10:39pm EDT; <strong>we started feeling this aspect on Friday (May 18th), it has been building since then and will remain strong until the evening of next Monday, May 28th. </strong>\r\n\r\nThis aspect lets us know that we could create connections that bring us a sense of community and belonging, if we were simply to bring conscious awareness to our actions, and create a vision of a future that supports all of us,. It also brings a flow of intellectual stimulation that we can easily discuss and share with others.\r\n\r\nWe have powerful stores of energy right now that we can draw upon when needed. We respond to problems or challenges with a spirited and enthusiastic confidence that is admirable. We truly believe in equal opportunities and seem to be in love with life. When we express or experience competitiveness, or courage, it\'s easy to smile and accept these traits as positive, rather than being rubbed the wrong way. We generally have good mental and physical vitality during this transit.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>0-6 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Gemini, Aquarius, </i></b><i>or <b>Libra</b></i><i>? If so, you may feel more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Mars rules Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (May 24th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em> and<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> VoC</a> <strong>until 2:52am EDT</strong> (see Monday late evening and Wednesday late morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 2:52am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until Saturday late morning. </strong>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating -- and although these next two days are a great time for mediation, our need for peace (and aversion to direct conflict) could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might prefer.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able to see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early morning</strong>: we become more aware that we need to find a balance between two very different energies -- on the one hand,  taking a compassionate approach towards our personal goals, while being assertive in the world -- and on the other hand, our need to connect and collaborate with others. Ask yourself: what if taking a compassionate approach towards myself actually made for more fulfilling connections with others?\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning</strong>: starts out harmoniously, even though we feel an urge to make progress, and connect with others about our vision for the future.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday afternoon</strong>: we feel a need to stay within our safety zone while also connecting and collaborating -- stretch a little, and see if you can find creative ways to connect whilst honoring your need for safety and familiarity. As best as you can, listen to your feeling-body and be kind with yourself and others, if your needs do not align perfectly with others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early evening</strong>: we are invited to make some adjustments in our lives and find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations. As best as you can, look for solid foundations under any long-term goals currently underway, and for ways to create win-win outcomes for one-on-one relationships.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (May 25)</strong>:<em> the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday morning</strong>, <em>a long-lasting, harmonious Jupiter/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:52am EDT (first one of the year). Due to Jupiter\'s and Neptune\'s Station phases, <strong>we start to feel this aspect build from May 4th on, it will remain strong until July 15th. </strong>This brings the potential for deep, spiritual inspiration.\r\n\r\nExtravagance or exaggeration are possible during this time; routine is particularly unsatisfying, we easily detour from the practical path. On the other hand, this is a great time for connecting to music or spiritual endeavors -- and for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\nOur intuition is at an all-time high, as is our ability to explore our traumas and demons; we are also more able to resolve anything that is no longer empowering to us personally -- in particular, we can dissolve the fears that have kept us from deepening our relationships -- and this is also true on a collective level.\r\n\r\nGenerosity, compassion and faith will likely increase; we more readily and easily make personal sacrifices for what we see as the greater good. We have a deeper sense that all of us are part of the human family -- a sense of the unity that is possible between people, nations and all living things on this planet.\r\n\r\nThis can be a chance to increase our creativity, perceptiveness and empathy; it\'s a time to allow for things to unfold and for seeing the perfection in everything that is.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>13-19 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Scorpio, Pisces, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more blessed by this aspect; this is also true for those of us with the Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Mercury/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 9:38am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on, it will remain strong until Sunday morning. </strong>Our words and our \"speaking\" are very grounded and realistic. We can feel really empowered by what we say (and how we say it) during this time. Our conviction and passion helps us to connect and empower others.\r\n\r\nWe are strongly connected to our inner truth and can analyze and understand our motivations around long-term goals. We investigate our own thought structures in a very realistic, focused way, and look to see what needs to be communicated next.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i> <em>18-24 degrees</em><i> of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be even more blessed by this aspect than those who do not; this is also true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Scorpio</i></b> <i>(Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo, Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 5:04pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 16.5 hours,<strong> until 9:39am EDT Saturday late morning</strong>. Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments and find creative ways to work with the energies at play: On the one hand, as best as you can, collaborate with others and play nice, on the other hand, be authentic and truthful about what we want to build long-term.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday late afternoon until Saturday late morning ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (May 26th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 9:39am EDT</strong> (see Thursday very early morning and Friday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday very early morning</strong>,<em> a Venus/Saturn opposition</em> becomes exact at 2:40am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on, it will remain strong until next Monday evening (May 28th). </strong>This might be a time of relationship tests or trials: we may not be attracting the things and people that we want in our lives -- at least, not as easily as we were before this transit.\r\n\r\nThis can be eye-opening -- a signal to work on improving the \"ways\" (as well as the \"things\") that we bring to partnerships or to our finances. Doubts could be raised now. But what\'s really required is that we slow things down and be as realistic as we can possibly be.\r\n\r\nWe could be withdrawing or holding back a little, as we attempt to figure out what we want and need -- and what we can give. We are working towards ridding ourselves of self-delusion when it comes to partnerships, socializing and finances. In the process, we might feel disdain for inauthentic interactions and resent \"going through the motions\" on a social and/or mental level.\r\n\r\nOur goal here is to make more connections aligned with our own truth. Relationships built on weak foundations may not survive, but stronger ones can be improved and strengthened. Financial matters might be stressful for the time being; this forces us into a position of conservation and moderation. As best as you can, find your inner balance with this -- and on an external level with others.\r\n\r\nThink back to <strong>late Dec., 2017</strong>, when Venus was conjunct Saturn in <strong>Capricorn</strong>. With Venus opposing Saturn now, we can start to see the fruits of the seeds that were planted back then. So: What were the seeds? What are the fruits?\r\n\r\nIn other words: What has emerged since late December, in regards to who and what you value? We are also now more aware of what we have (and haven\'t) learned since then... Do you like what you see? Is there room for more learning, more integration?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>5-11 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 9:39am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until next week, Monday evening</strong> (May 28th). We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s thus an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your very best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 27th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Saturday late morning for details).\r\n\r\nSaturday night/<strong>Sunday very early morning: </strong>for the next several hours, we enjoy familiar company and surroundings -- our home is our castle.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early morning: </strong>we are invited to<strong> </strong>connect with others on a deep emotional level, and explore new points of views about our ability to make authentic connections.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late afternoon: </strong>we are likely to experience a sense of ease and flow, but may need to slow down and allow our feelings to come through. A gentle approach is best. We feel good when coming from the heart and making deeper connections with others. Being open to receiving and going with the flow are key!\r\n\r\n<strong>A heads up for next Monday (May 28th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em><strong> until 6:29pm EDT</strong>. <strong>At 1:25pm EDT,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course</a>, that last for 5 hours, <strong>until 6:29pm EDT</strong>. Also, on<strong> Monday at 6:29pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking <strong>Sagittarius</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until Thursday morning</strong>.This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the Full Moon (exact next week, Tuesday late morning).

There will also be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: Monday all day until 10:03pm EDT; Wednesday late morning (for 16 hours) and Friday afternoon (for 16.5 hours).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (May 21st)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in fun and attention-loving <strong>Leo</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 10:03pm EDT. </strong>With the Moon in <strong>Leo</strong>, we may lack objectivity and struggle with backing down or compromising. We all love to be admired -- or at the very least acknowledged -- for our greatness :-)\r\n\r\nSo hand out some compliments -- let people know how proud you are of them, tell them how much you love them. Come from the heart in this and all other things... be honest and authentic, as best you can. Fun, games, and romance are also a big part of this energy. You might also enjoy spending time with little ones.\r\n\r\nIf there are no children around, how about getting in touch with your \"inner child\" -- it\'s definitely easier for the rest of today. Ask yourself: What am I most grateful for today? What would be heaps and heaps of fun? What would be so much fun, I could  let out a tiny squeak, just thinking of it?\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a><strong> until 10:03pm EDT</strong>: we are experiencing two quite different needs, pulling us in different directions: On the one hand, we feel a strong need to have fun and be creative or self-expressed.\r\n\r\nOn the other hand, we want to explore deep, authentic -- even intimate -- connections to ourselves or others. Do your best to use this intuitive time to make adjustments, slow things down a little, and find creative solutions that honor both drives.\r\n\r\nAs always with a Moon VoC, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Sunday late evening and Monday all day ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 10:03pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until Wednesday night/Thursday very early morning</strong>; turning our focus toward the practical and wholesome. We are generous with our time/services and we love to help others. We also have a fondness for science and anything that makes sense in our world -- things and knowledge we can apply and use.\r\n\r\nHealth might come also into focus at this time. We notice the parts that make up the whole; this is a great time to see if our daily routines (eating, work, self-care, etc.) align with our long-term goals. This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the first Quarter Moon (exact later this evening).\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">***</p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong> ALREADY A MEMBER?

Last week saw the New Moon, on May 15th. \"Seeds\" planted then are probably \"sprouting\" by now -- and making first real contact with the outside world. This is therefore a time to stretch and grow -- and create some forward momentum. We may feel anxious or unusually busy.\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, go one breath at a time. Allow for changes, remain flexible (as much as possible), and find creative solutions for your day-to-day dealings with others.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in any of the following: 29 degrees of <strong>Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio</strong>, or 0-3 degrees of </i><b><i>Virgo, Pisces, Gemini</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i>? If so, you will feel the effects of this first Quarter Moon more strongly than otherwise. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Leo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Cancer</i></b> <i>(the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (May 22nd)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday afternoon</strong>, <em>an opportune Sun/Chiron aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:48pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from last Saturday (May 19th) on, it will remain strong until Thursday night. </strong>This aspect is an opportunity for self-healing; this could support our confidence and brings us into better alignment with our physical and emotional body.\r\n\r\nWe all have flaws, wounds, insecurities. The more we can open up to that being ok for ourselves, the less judgmental we will be with others. This is also a great time to recognize that our so-called flaws and insecurities have become some of our best assets and strengths -- how might this be true for you?\r\n\r\n<strong>Until Thursday night</strong>, as best as you can, practice gentleness; be kind to yourself and others. Again, remember: an opportunity is an opening, a glimpse of new possibilities -- so \"opportunities\" are not simply handed to us, tied up with a bow -- we have to \"take\" them, and make something of them. What will you do with this particular opportunity?\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 29 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn,</strong> <strong>Cancer,</strong> or 0-4 degrees of <strong>Gemini, Aries, Aquarius </strong>or<strong> Leo</strong>? If so, you will be more aware of this opportunity. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in Leo or Pisces (the Sun rules Leo; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces).</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late evening</strong>, <em>an opportune Mercury/Neptune aspect</em> becoming exact at 10:13pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Monday night on, it will remain strong until Thursday morning. </strong>This aspect gives us the opportunity to bring compassion and an intuitive approach to our thinking process.\r\n\r\nHaving faith and connecting to our Higher Selves will be of service to us at this time. Any artistic or spiritual endeavors are likely to do well at this time. Music might help us with our thinking process and ability to get things done.\r\n\r\nLet yourself be inspired! A book, a song, a movie, someone else\'s words… allow the Universe to speak to you. Open your mind to a higher vibration -- and remember, opportunities are openings... they aren\'t necessarily handed to us... we have to \"take\" them and make something of them.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in <em>14-18 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Taurus, Pisces, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you may be more aware of this opportunity.This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Neptune rules Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 23rd)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Monday late evening for details).\r\n\r\nTuesday night/<strong>Wednesday very early morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Jupiter opposition</em> becomes exact at 1:54am EDT. <strong>We feel this aspect build from Monday; it will remain strong until Thursday evening.</strong>\r\n\r\nIt asks us to balance our personal values and resources against our authentic, emotional connections with others (and any resources we share with them). This could also show up as a need to balance what we <em>think</em> we need to own or have, with our desire for expansion within intimate relationships and shared resources.\r\n\r\nOf course, we could conceivably have it both ways -- here are some questions you can ask yourself, that might help with this: How might taking a different view of my intimate relationships impact my self-worth? Could I share from a place of self-love and self-honoring,  just 5% more than normal? If I stepped way back from the canvas, what \"bigger picture\" would I see?\r\n\r\nWe generally feel quite optimistic at this time, perhaps overly so: The urge to grow and expand is strong, but we can overreach -- perhaps by overlooking critical details and thereby miscalculating. We might be inclined to exaggerate, then have a hard time putting our ideas and goals into practice. That said, we can also be extraordinarily funny and interesting at this time, especially in our one-on-one relationships :-)\r\n\r\nExpect a lot of talking and sharing -- and possibly some over-thinking or impulsive communication. Impatience is likely a side-effect of this aspect as well... As best as you can, take an \"observer\" position toward your mind: listen to your thoughts, catch yourself thinking.\r\n\r\nIn other words: as best as you can, practice listening, to yourself, to others, and to your body. Listening is an art form that makes it easier to tap into our own inner wisdom and our body\'s wisdom.\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 13-20 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </strong>or<strong> Aquarius</strong>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in <strong>Gemini, Virgo</strong> or <strong>Sagittarius</strong> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Jupiter of Sagittarius).</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday at 10:55am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 16 hours, <strong>until 2:52am EDT Thursday very early morning</strong>. Use this intuitive time to empower each other in regards to earthly issues and mutually support each other in practical ways.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Wednesday all day until Thursday very early morning ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday late evening</strong>, <em>a harmonious Sun/Mars aspect</em> become exact at 10:39pm EDT; <strong>we started feeling this aspect on Friday (May 18th), it has been building since then and will remain strong until the evening of next Monday, May 28th. </strong>\r\n\r\nThis aspect lets us know that we could create connections that bring us a sense of community and belonging, if we were simply to bring conscious awareness to our actions, and create a vision of a future that supports all of us,. It also brings a flow of intellectual stimulation that we can easily discuss and share with others.\r\n\r\nWe have powerful stores of energy right now that we can draw upon when needed. We respond to problems or challenges with a spirited and enthusiastic confidence that is admirable. We truly believe in equal opportunities and seem to be in love with life. When we express or experience competitiveness, or courage, it\'s easy to smile and accept these traits as positive, rather than being rubbed the wrong way. We generally have good mental and physical vitality during this transit.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>0-6 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Gemini, Aquarius, </i></b><i>or <b>Libra</b></i><i>? If so, you may feel more blessed by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Mars rules Aries)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (May 24th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in detail-oriented, practical <strong>Virgo</strong></em> and<a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\"> VoC</a> <strong>until 2:52am EDT</strong> (see Monday late evening and Wednesday late morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday at 2:52am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until Saturday late morning. </strong>The energy of the Libra Moon helps us be naturally courteous and diplomatic; we are more polite at this time, as we seek the approval of others.\r\n\r\nWe very much want to maintain equal, fair relationships at this time and are therefore open to making compromises and negotiating -- and although these next two days are a great time for mediation, our need for peace (and aversion to direct conflict) could pull us to \"yes\" more easily than we might prefer.\r\n\r\nWe may also be able to see both sides of the equation so well that we can\'t make decisions. As best as you can, find an inner balance with this and communicate what needs to be said with grace and charm -- even if it\'s \"No\" ;-) One last quick note: this is also a great time for anything to do with visual arts.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early morning</strong>: we become more aware that we need to find a balance between two very different energies -- on the one hand,  taking a compassionate approach towards our personal goals, while being assertive in the world -- and on the other hand, our need to connect and collaborate with others. Ask yourself: what if taking a compassionate approach towards myself actually made for more fulfilling connections with others?\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday morning</strong>: starts out harmoniously, even though we feel an urge to make progress, and connect with others about our vision for the future.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday afternoon</strong>: we feel a need to stay within our safety zone while also connecting and collaborating -- stretch a little, and see if you can find creative ways to connect whilst honoring your need for safety and familiarity. As best as you can, listen to your feeling-body and be kind with yourself and others, if your needs do not align perfectly with others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early evening</strong>: we are invited to make some adjustments in our lives and find creative solutions to seemingly unsolvable situations. As best as you can, look for solid foundations under any long-term goals currently underway, and for ways to create win-win outcomes for one-on-one relationships.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (May 25)</strong>:<em> the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Thursday very early morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday morning</strong>, <em>a long-lasting, harmonious Jupiter/Neptune aspect</em> becomes exact at 5:52am EDT (first one of the year). Due to Jupiter\'s and Neptune\'s Station phases, <strong>we start to feel this aspect build from May 4th on, it will remain strong until July 15th. </strong>This brings the potential for deep, spiritual inspiration.\r\n\r\nExtravagance or exaggeration are possible during this time; routine is particularly unsatisfying, we easily detour from the practical path. On the other hand, this is a great time for connecting to music or spiritual endeavors -- and for enthusiastic heart-centered connection, especially within our intimate relationships.\r\n\r\nOur intuition is at an all-time high, as is our ability to explore our traumas and demons; we are also more able to resolve anything that is no longer empowering to us personally -- in particular, we can dissolve the fears that have kept us from deepening our relationships -- and this is also true on a collective level.\r\n\r\nGenerosity, compassion and faith will likely increase; we more readily and easily make personal sacrifices for what we see as the greater good. We have a deeper sense that all of us are part of the human family -- a sense of the unity that is possible between people, nations and all living things on this planet.\r\n\r\nThis can be a chance to increase our creativity, perceptiveness and empathy; it\'s a time to allow for things to unfold and for seeing the perfection in everything that is.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>13-19 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Scorpio, Pisces, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more blessed by this aspect; this is also true for those of us with the Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Sagittarius, Capricorn </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Pisces</i></b><i> (Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius; Saturn is the ruler of Capricorn; Neptune is the ruler of Pisces)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late morning</strong>, <em>a harmonious Mercury/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 9:38am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on, it will remain strong until Sunday morning. </strong>Our words and our \"speaking\" are very grounded and realistic. We can feel really empowered by what we say (and how we say it) during this time. Our conviction and passion helps us to connect and empower others.\r\n\r\nWe are strongly connected to our inner truth and can analyze and understand our motivations around long-term goals. We investigate our own thought structures in a very realistic, focused way, and look to see what needs to be communicated next.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in</i> <em>18-24 degrees</em><i> of</i> <b><i>Taurus, Capricorn </i></b><i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you will be even more blessed by this aspect than those who do not; this is also true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Scorpio</i></b> <i>(Mercury rules Gemini and Virgo, Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 5:04pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 16.5 hours,<strong> until 9:39am EDT Saturday late morning</strong>. Use this intuitive time to make some adjustments and find creative ways to work with the energies at play: On the one hand, as best as you can, collaborate with others and play nice, on the other hand, be authentic and truthful about what we want to build long-term.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday late afternoon until Saturday late morning ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (May 26th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in harmony-loving, balance-seeking <strong>Libra</strong></em> and <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">VoC</a> <strong>until 9:39am EDT</strong> (see Thursday very early morning and Friday late afternoon for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday very early morning</strong>,<em> a Venus/Saturn opposition</em> becomes exact at 2:40am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Wednesday evening on, it will remain strong until next Monday evening (May 28th). </strong>This might be a time of relationship tests or trials: we may not be attracting the things and people that we want in our lives -- at least, not as easily as we were before this transit.\r\n\r\nThis can be eye-opening -- a signal to work on improving the \"ways\" (as well as the \"things\") that we bring to partnerships or to our finances. Doubts could be raised now. But what\'s really required is that we slow things down and be as realistic as we can possibly be.\r\n\r\nWe could be withdrawing or holding back a little, as we attempt to figure out what we want and need -- and what we can give. We are working towards ridding ourselves of self-delusion when it comes to partnerships, socializing and finances. In the process, we might feel disdain for inauthentic interactions and resent \"going through the motions\" on a social and/or mental level.\r\n\r\nOur goal here is to make more connections aligned with our own truth. Relationships built on weak foundations may not survive, but stronger ones can be improved and strengthened. Financial matters might be stressful for the time being; this forces us into a position of conservation and moderation. As best as you can, find your inner balance with this -- and on an external level with others.\r\n\r\nThink back to <strong>late Dec., 2017</strong>, when Venus was conjunct Saturn in <strong>Capricorn</strong>. With Venus opposing Saturn now, we can start to see the fruits of the seeds that were planted back then. So: What were the seeds? What are the fruits?\r\n\r\nIn other words: What has emerged since late December, in regards to who and what you value? We are also now more aware of what we have (and haven\'t) learned since then... Do you like what you see? Is there room for more learning, more integration?\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>5-11 degrees</em> of </i><b><i>Cancer, Capricorn, Aries, </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Libra</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Saturn rules Capricorn)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday at 9:39am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until next week, Monday evening</strong> (May 28th). We feel things deeply and have \"X-Ray Vision\" and \"Bullshit-Smelling Abilities\" ;-)\r\n\r\nEmotional authenticity is extremely important to us at this time; anything less than 100% emotional honesty could be perceived as flat-out dishonest. Once we feel safe trusting someone, we want to merge with them, preferably forever... as long as our trust is never betrayed.\r\n\r\nThe Moon in Scorpio urges us to uncover our own power. This occurs by a process of subtraction -- it urges us to let go of whatever disempowers us. It\'s thus an excellent time to look at \"old\" fears, limiting habits or emotional attachments, especially those stemming from past traumas.\r\n\r\nMoon in Scorpio tends to run right over ambiguity -- it\'s \"in or out\", \"with us or against us\", \"love me or leave me\". It can thus be stormy -- a cold winter storm, or a torrid tropical storm of passion, depending on how we \"work\" the energies :-)\r\n\r\nManipulation and paranoia are the lower vibrations of this aspect, so do your very best to be straightforward -- act in good faith and assume it in others. Best of all, be truly present to the fluctuations of your feelings -- no matter if they\'re \"polite\" or \"timely\". Feelings aren\'t facts, but they are information -- and heeding them will help you embrace all of who you are.\r\n\r\nKnow thyself -- and love thyself -- you shall be set free. Remember: Love connects us to the Power within; Fear causes \"Force\" to show up -- and that\'s ultimately what disempowers us and others.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 27th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em><strong> all day</strong> (see Saturday late morning for details).\r\n\r\nSaturday night/<strong>Sunday very early morning: </strong>for the next several hours, we enjoy familiar company and surroundings -- our home is our castle.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday early morning: </strong>we are invited to<strong> </strong>connect with others on a deep emotional level, and explore new points of views about our ability to make authentic connections.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday late afternoon: </strong>we are likely to experience a sense of ease and flow, but may need to slow down and allow our feelings to come through. A gentle approach is best. We feel good when coming from the heart and making deeper connections with others. Being open to receiving and going with the flow are key!\r\n\r\n<strong>A heads up for next Monday (May 28th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in passionate, all-or-nothing <strong>Scorpio</strong></em><strong> until 6:29pm EDT</strong>. <strong>At 1:25pm EDT,</strong> we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course</a>, that last for 5 hours, <strong>until 6:29pm EDT</strong>. Also, on<strong> Monday at 6:29pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters optimistic, adventurous, truth-seeking <strong>Sagittarius</strong></em>, where it will journey <strong>until Thursday morning</strong>.This Moon placement also starts the build-up towards the Full Moon (exact next week, Tuesday late morning).

If you\'d like to learn how these major two planetary shifts might impact you personally, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/chiron-in-aries-uranus-in-taurus-until-2026-15-minute-excerpt/\">you may want to catch this free 15-min excerpt… from my recent Forum...</a>\r\n<blockquote><i>“</i><i>SUPER-GREAT Forum Sonja - I learned sooo much - can\'t wait to re-listen - thank you!!!”</i><i> </i>— Mary Beth W.</blockquote>\r\nTo watch the whole 120 min. webinar... <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/product/monthly-forecasting-forum-april-2018/\">click here</a>\r\n\r\n<b>This week\'s headline items</b>: the last Quarter Moon in Aquarius becomes exact on Monday and the Balsamic Moon phase begins Friday. Mars enters its shadow phase on Saturday, and Mercury changes signs from Aries to Taurus on Sunday.\r\n\r\nThere will be three <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a> phases this week: Tuesday late evening (for almost 1 hour), Friday early morning (for a little over 3.5 hours), and Sunday afternoon (for 10 minutes).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday (May 7th)</strong>:<em> the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking</em> <strong><em>Aquarius</em> all day</strong>. It will journey there <b>until Tuesday late evening. </b>The energy of the Aquarian Moon relates to our instinct for improvement. Reactions are more intellectual than emotional; interactions more impersonal than personal. We are likely to have an increased fascination with the new and unusual.\r\n\r\nSocial gatherings, anything connected with group ideals and goals for the future, brainstorming, new ideas and methods, progress: all these are promoted during the time the Moon moves through Aquarius. Again: we have our eyes on the future -- or on outer space :-) Personal freedom becomes paramount. With this Moon placement we can feel already the build up towards the last Quarter Moon (exact on Monday late evening).\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early morning</strong>, <em>a challenging Mercury/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 4:52am EDT.<strong> We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday afternoon (May 5th) on, it will remain strong until this Wednesday afternoon (May 9th). </strong>This aspect creates some tension in our lives.

We are being asked to<b> </b>find creative solutions and be completely honest with ourselves and others. The best way to achieve this is by the continual practice of self-care and self-nurturing.\r\n\r\nWe have tremendous focus and drive right now, which can tip into obsession. With this aspect an all-or-nothing attitude is very likely. Choose love over fear whenever possible. Not many people enjoy being second-guessed all the time, yet that is something that we are inclined to do now.\r\n\r\nHowever, our determination to get to the bottom of any matter, to rip away falsehoods and expose true motives, can be used for good if we employ it in our work, for example, in regards to investigations or research. This is an opportunity to learn to harness our intense mental energy and apply it productively. We are also capable of very hard work, focus and effort now.\r\n\r\nWe have a great love of debate, but should be careful that we don\'t overpower others with our strong opinions, attempting to \"convert\" them to our frame of mind, or treat regular exchanges of opinion as battlegrounds. Connect to yourself and others, empowering yourself/them with what you feel passionate about.\r\n\r\nChoose your words/thoughts carefully, from a deeply connected and empowered place rather than from a place of fear, self-protection or a need for survival.\r\n\r\n<i>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>18-24 degrees</em> of</i><b><i> Aries, Capricorn, Libra </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Cancer</i></b><i>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Scorpio</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday early evening</strong>, a challenging Venus/Neptune aspect becomes exact at 5:58pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday morning (May 5th) on, it will remain strong until this Thursday morning (May 10th).</strong> We can be confused, unrealistic, or overly idealistic around love and money -- so it\'s best to wait until the transit is over, before making big moves in these areas -- if you make long-term financial investments, buy or sell big-ticket items, or start brand-new relationships, it\'s likely you will not see things as they truly are.\r\n\r\nWe are actually being asked to have faith; to let our intuition guide us in money and love -- if we are able to do this, we will grow through it. As best as you can, be compassionate with yourself and others during these 5 days -- it might also help to know that relationships and endeavors of a spiritual or artistic nature can move forward at this time.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in <em>13-19 degrees</em><span class=\"s1\"><i> of</i> <b><i>Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you are more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in</i> <b><i>Taurus, Libra</i></b> <i>or</i> <b><i>Pisces</i></b> <i>(Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Neptune rules Pisces).</i></span>\r\n\r\n<strong>Monday at 10:09pm EDT</strong>, <em>the last Quarter Moon in 17.5 degrees of <strong>Aquarius</strong></em> becomes exact. The Moon in <strong>Aquarius</strong> makes a challenging aspect to the Sun in <strong>Taurus</strong>. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from the moment the Moon entered Aquarius last Sunday morning (May 6th). </strong><span class=\"s2\"><i> </i>This may bring challenges; however, it also energizes us to look at what needs to be completed -- and what needs to be changed.</span>\r\n\r\nThis Moon phase brings us closer to May 15th\'s New Moon in <strong>Taurus</strong>. With the last Quarter Moon, rather than starting major new projects, it serves us to take a look at what needs to be completed. What -- if anything -- needs last-minute adjustments? What did you discover since April 15th? What did it mean for you? What actions could shift the things you seeded or started in mid-late April?\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, find creative solutions for anything that comes up (whether internally, or with others).\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 15-20 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Aquarius, Leo </strong>or<strong> Scorpio</strong>? If so, you will feel this month\'s last Quarter Moon quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in <strong>Leo </strong>or<strong> Cancer</strong> (the Sun rules Leo; the Moon rules Cancer).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday (May 8th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in freedom-loving, forward-thinking</em> <strong><em>Aquarius</em> until 11:11pm EDT</strong> (see Monday for more details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday late evening</strong>, <em>a Sun/Jupiter opposition</em> becomes exact at 8:39pm EDT. <strong>We started to feel this aspect build from last Saturday morning (May 5th) on, it will remain strong until this Friday evening (May 11th). </strong> This aspect can bring an opportunity to open up our consciousness through other people. As best as you can, expand your perspectives about intimate relationships, other people\'s resources and be open to bringing some optimism to those areas of your life.\r\n\r\nThe urge to grow and expand is strong, but we might overreach -- and hasty actions could backfire. As best as you can, don’t expect too much from others or yourself; avoid over-promising, and create deeper connections whenever you can. Use humor :-)\r\n\r\nProjects or ambitions may come to a culmination point, or undergo surprising changes; ask yourself: What insights am I receiving? Where can I go from here? What if I walked in their shoes, just for a moment? Where would I walk to?\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (MC) or any personal planets in 15-22 degrees</em> of <b><i>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more affected by this opposition.This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Leo </i></b><i>or </i><b><i>Sagittarius</i></b><i> (the Sun rules Leo; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 10:29pm EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for almost an hour, <strong>until 11:11pm EDT</strong>. Use this intuitive time as an opportunity to connect with others, exchange information, and move personal projects forward.\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC,</a> as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Tuesday late evening ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Tuesday at 11:11pm EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters creative, sensitive <strong>Pisces</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Friday morning. </strong> This Moon placement often finds us more sensitive, intuitive, idealistic and imaginative than normal. We also have a greater capacity for compassion, sympathy, and affection for all -- but especially for those who suffer or can be regarded as the underdog.\r\n\r\nBut... that very idealism could also be our downfall at this time: We tend to see the best in everyone and everything, and when reality doesn\'t match our idyllic vision, we might feel upset and even victimized by those harsh realities. A way out of this is to channel our idealism into spiritual or creative endeavors.\r\n\r\nIt\'s also a great time for releasing fears -- especially the ones based on a sense of separation -- and experiencing \"oneness\". Feelings tend to flow more freely; as best as you can, let them -- in fact, \"going with the flow\" is the best way to go for the next couple of days.\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday (May 9th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive</em><strong><em> Pisces</em> all day</strong> (see Tuesday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Wednesday afternoon</strong>, <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Jupiter aspect</em> becomes exact at 2:36pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning (May 8th) on, it will remain strong until Thursday morning (May 10th). </strong>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice. An inner awareness needs to be developed in order to see what needs adjusting.\r\n\r\nThis aspect is a fork in the road. We could take the path of learning about inner dialog and sharing ourselves with others by being open and curious -- or, we could take the path that leads to increased understanding of intimacy and resources that are shared with others.\r\n\r\nEither way, we can develop a new perspective on how to approach these things. Awareness is key with this aspect: What is needed? How can we serve the broader view?\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 17-19 degrees of <b>Gemini </b>or<b> Scorpio</b>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in<b> Taurus, Libra </b>or <b>Sagittarius</b> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra; Jupiter is the ruler of Sagittarius).</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday (May 10th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive</em> <strong>Pisces all day</strong> (see Tuesday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday early morning,</strong> we feel more sensitive and need to slow down a little. This is a great time for spiritual or creative endeavors. Energy work, or anything that requires our intuitive side, will work best for the next several hours.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday late morning,</strong> a nice feeling of ease and an ability to trust and connect deeply with others. As best as you can, trust your intuitive sensing right now, allow whatever comes up to be beneficial for you.\r\n\r\nThursday early afternoon: we feel a need to go within -- and also want to connect and learn from others. This tension clearly invites us to stretch a little and resolve it through creative solutions -- the key here is to listen to our intuition, so we don\'t drive ourselves or others crazy.\r\n\r\n<strong>Thursday afternoon: </strong>we get an opportunity to be very present; also to connect with others and share practical advice, or simply enjoy \"the good things in life\". As best as you can, bring a sense of flow and faith to who you are being, and allow yourself to slow down and connect with nature.\r\n\r\nThursday late afternoon, we have the opportunity to be guided by inspiration, and fully commit to a project or task that might serve us long-term. As best as you can, listen and trust to the subtle messages in your heart, that stir you towards success.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday (May 11th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in creative, sensitive</em> <strong>Pisces</strong> <strong>until 8:40am EDT</strong> (see Tuesday late evening for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 5:02am EDT</strong>, we enter a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for a little over 3.5 hours, <strong>until 8:40am EDT. </strong><span class=\"s1\">If you are awake during this intuitive time, take the opportunity to go within and listen to your subtle intuitive \"voice\" -- your heart -- then focus anew on your long-term goals.</span>\r\n\r\nAs always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow. You may also want to plan Friday morning ahead of time.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday at 8:40am EDT</strong>, <em>the Moon enters pioneering, fast-paced <strong>Aries,</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Sunday afternoon</strong>. Life is an adventure, we\'re more open to new ideas, and have great enthusiasm for new projects. Patience is certainly not our strong suit at this time, but we can decide quickly, and act immediately.\r\n\r\nOur independence and dynamism are important to us right now, so we may find it hard to be disciplined or accept advice at this time; in general, our responses to others tend to be more assertive or even aggressive. If you find your foot tapping, try hitting the gym, or finding other ways to burn off the body\'s excess energy.\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday evening</strong>, <em>a harmonious Sun/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 7:10pm EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Tuesday morning (May 8th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening (May 14th). </strong>This aspect brings a sense of focus and empowerment to our long-term goals. We have the ability to look at everything in a very down-to-earth manner right now; through our understanding of \"what is and what is not\", we can make more powerful choices.\r\n\r\nWe can also deepen our understanding of our own motivations and look closely at where we are heading. This aspect also brings an intensity and a depth to our conscious awareness; therefore this is also a great time to transform our lives, stripping away anything -- even people -- that no longer connect with who we are.\r\n\r\nAsk yourself: How can I live more authentically? Is there anything holding me back? What fears and attachments could I release now, that no longer serve my evolution? Am I willing to let them go, just for now, and just as best as I can?\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 18-24 degrees of <b>Taurus, Capricorn</b> or <b>Virgo</b>? If so, you will be even more blessed by this aspect than those who do not; this is also true for those of us with our Ascendant or Sun-sign in <b>Leo </b>or <b>Scorpio</b> (the Sun being the ruler of Leo; Pluto rules Scorpio)</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday late evening, </strong><em>the Balsamic Moon phase begins, when the Moon reaches 9.5 degrees of <strong>Aries. </strong> This lasts <b>until Tuesday morning</b>, when the New Moon in <b>Taurus </b>becomes exact (for those of you who are impatiently waiting for my New Moon video, <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/new-moon-videos/\">click here</a> after May 10th). We are being asked to slow down and get quiet, so we can listen to our intuition.</em>\r\n\r\nFor some of us, this might be a stretch. As best as you can: stay grounded, take a deep breath and exhale any tensions. Rather than starting something brand-new, put all that energy into completing existing projects or processes. This is also a great time for letting go of whatever no longer serves us. What if you could hear the voice of your inner wisdom? What might it be saying?\r\n\r\n<strong>Friday night</strong> (Saturday very early morning), <em>a somewhat challenging Venus/Pluto aspect</em> becomes exact at 1:05am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday evening (May 10th) on, it will remain strong until Saturday evening (May 12th). </strong>This aspect operates more on an internal level. We feel uneasy about something, almost awkward -- and we need to make a choice… so we need to develop inner awareness.\r\n\r\nFear of disappointment is causing some tension. Our inner need for growth requires honesty about what is causing those fears -- most likely our own lack of good boundaries and self-esteem. Watch out for getting pulled into overly burdensome roles in other people\'s lives, because you feel it is required of you, this can often be a path into \"control issues\".\r\n\r\nAs best as you can, carefully examine your motivations and self-image: How do you feel about your ability to communicate, share yourself and connect on a deep emotional level? What role does fear play in all of this?\r\n\r\n<em>Do you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in 20-22 degrees Gemini or<b> Capricorn</b>? If so, you will be more affected by this aspect. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in <b>Taurus, Libra </b>or <b>Scorpio</b> (Venus is the ruler of Taurus and Libra, while Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio)</em>\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday (May 12th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced</em> <strong>Aries</strong> <strong>all day</strong> (see Friday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Saturday late morning</strong>,<em> a challenging Mercury/Mars aspect</em> becomes exact at 9:30am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Thursday (May 10th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Monday evening (May 14th). </strong><span class=\"s1\">Due to the recent Mercury Retrograde phase, we get to experience this aspect several times; this is the third and last pass within the last 10 weeks. </span>\r\n\r\n<span class=\"s1\">This gives us a chance to address our approach toward any misunderstandings. </span><span class=\"s1\">This aspect<i> </i></span><span class=\"s2\">brings some juicy energy to our conversations. This is a chance to have some discussions that have been overdue. </span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s2\">As best as you can, make it a productive discussion that serves you and others -- a win-win -- otherwise you might feel really awful afterwards. Also, watch out on the road for some crazy drivers… rushing might not necessarily get you there faster ;-) </span></p>\r\nDo you have your Ascendent, Career Point (or any personal planets) in the following: 25-29 degrees of<strong> Aries, </strong><strong>Capricorn</strong>,<strong> Libra, Cancer,</strong> or 0-1 degree of <b>Taurus, Aquarius, Scorpio </b>or<b> Leo</b>?<span class=\"s3\"><i> </i></span><span class=\"s2\"><i>If so, you may feel more affected by this aspect.</i> <i>This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Aries</i></b><i> (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Mars rules Aries)</i></span>\r\n\r\nAlso on <strong>Saturday, </strong><em>Mars enters its 6.5-week shadow phase, when it reaches 28.5 degrees of <strong>Capricorn</strong>. </em><span class=\"s1\">This precedes the retrograde phase, which will begin on June 26th in 9 degrees of <b>Aquarius</b> (more on that in 6 weeks).</span>\r\n\r\nSo what is the \"shadow phase\"? To explain this, I\'ll quickly cover what happens when a planet \"stations\" and then goes “retrograde\".\r\n\r\nRelative to us on Earth, a planet sometimes looks like it is slowing down (\"stationing\"), then stopping. After being still for a while, it actually appears to go \"backward\" through the sky (this is the \"retrograde\" phase). It\'s a little like catching up to a car on the highway, driving exactly alongside it for a moment, then passing it and pulling ahead.\r\n\r\nAt first, retrograde movement is slow, but the planet gradually reaches its normal pace through the sky -- except it\'s going backward. The process then reverses itself: the backward pace slows, the planet crawls to a \"halt\", then it starts to move forward again (i.e. it goes direct). In our car analogy, it\'s like the car you just passed gradually speeds up and passes you again.\r\n\r\nThere are also two \"shadow\" phases -- during these, the planet travels over a part of the sky it will later \"revisit\". The first \"shadow\" comes before the planet moves backward; the second comes when the planet starts to catch back up (after going direct).\r\n\r\nIt\'s like you went hiking and left something behind at camp. If you went back to get it, you\'d have some catching up to do, and would see the same scenery twice or more. Mars\'s shadow phases usually last 6-7 weeks before and after the Retrograde phase. Pay attention to what you do or pursue during this time; you may need to revisit or redo them during the Retrograde phase.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday (May 13th)</strong>: <em>the Moon remains in pioneering, fast-paced</em> <strong>Aries until 2:15 EDT</strong> (see Friday morning for details).\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday morning</strong>, <em>a Mercury/Uranus alignment in 29 degrees of <strong>Aries</strong></em> becomes exact at 6:50am EDT. <strong>We start to feel this aspect build from Friday morning (May 11th) on, it will remain strong until next week, Tuesday (May 5th).  </strong><span class=\"s1\">With this alignment, an important insight is coming through, something new is preparing to enter consciousness – and we are getting the urge to move forward. We might experience some really unusual conversations. Our mind could be flooded with new information and ideas, and we most likely feel enthusiastic and excited by these fresh ideas and insights.</span>\r\n\r\nIt\'s a time when we could achieve real breakthroughs in the form of ideas, communications, and the mind in general — but coupled with the possibility of edginess and impatience toward those who don’t “get” our new insights. Nervousness, impulsivity and fidgeting could be a by-product of this alignment as well.\r\n\r\nComputers and electronics may suddenly become important. We\'ll likely have flashes of insight into our own mental workings, original thoughts, etc. As best as you can, and as much as you want to, stay open to other dimensions <i>and</i> stay grounded in your body. That way, all that energy can move through you, without shaking you to the core ;-)\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant, Career Point (or personal planets) in the following: 26-29 degrees of <b><i>Aries, Libra, Cancer </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Capricorn, </i></b><i>or 0-2 degrees of <strong>Taurus, Scorpio, Leo </strong>or<strong> Aquarius</strong></i><i>? If so, you will feel this aspect quite strongly. This is also true for those of us who have our Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini, Virgo</i></b><i> or </i><b><i>Aquarius</i></b><i>  (Mercury is the ruler of Gemini and Virgo; Uranus rules Aquarius).</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 8:40am EDT</strong>, Mercury changes signs from<i> </i><span class=\"s1\"><i>enthusiastic, fast-paced </i><b><i>Aries</i></b><i> to steady, peaceful </i><b><i>Taurus</i></b>, where it will journey<b> until <strong>May 29th</strong></b>.<b> For the next 3 weeks</b>, our thinking shifts gears: we want to connect to others in a realistic, down-to-earth way and we \"say it like it is\". We appreciate common sense; we rely on our senses when it comes to processing information.</span>\r\n\r\nA well-developed sense of color, smell, and touch are characteristic of this Mercury position, so as long as Mercury is in Taurus, we will be drawn towards the \"tasteful\" in the realm of the five senses. We are more likely to have a no-nonsense approach to decision-making, and our ideas are often very practical and useful at this time.\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to learning, we prefer demonstrations, concrete answers, and basic concepts for the next 3 weeks. We learn best when we see real-world uses for the theories we are trying to absorb. We simply process information better when we can personalize it (\"what use is it to me?\") and attach it to the practical world.\r\n\r\nDo you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in <b><i>Taurus</i></b><i>? If so, you may feel more talkative during this time. Do you have your Ascendant or Sun-sign in </i><b><i>Gemini </i></b><i>or</i><b><i> Virgo</i></b><i>? If so, you may need to slow down and “smell the roses” ;-)</i>\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 2:05pm EDT</strong>, we enter a brief <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon Void of Course (VoC)</a>, that last for 10 minutes, <strong>until 2:15pm EDT</strong>. <span class=\"s1\">Use this intuitive time to connect with people that can enthusiastically support your projects and share with them what you have going on. </span>As always with a <a href=\"https://astrologercoach.com/astrological-forecasts/what-is-this-moon-void-of-course-energy/\">Moon VoC</a>, as best as you can, don\'t start anything brand-new, stick to routine things, or simply go with the flow.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sunday at 2:15pm EDT</strong>,<em> the Moon enters steady, peaceful <strong>Taurus</strong></em> where it will journey <strong>until Tuesday late afternoon</strong>. <span class=\"s1\">We love all physical comforts, prefer consistency, and would rather stick with what we know works well.</span>\r\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In other words: change is not our favorite thing and \"rushing things\" goes against our grain.
